The Political Economy of the China-Pakistan Economic Corridor - Original PDF
نویسندگان: Bai Gao • Zhihong Zhen خلاصه: The China-Pakistan Economic Corridor (CPEC) is the pilot project of China’s Belt and Road Initiative (BRI). This is China’s first government- to-government project with an aim to comprehensively promote the eco- nomic development of another country along the Silk Road. As China’s first overseas project with large-scale investment, CPEC has presented both the Chinese government and Chinese companies two major chal- lenges: not only must they undertake an adjustment process to situate themselves within the foreign political, economic, cultural, and religious environments, but they must implement CPEC projects via Pakistani insti- tutions and mechanisms which function under operational logics quite different from those at home. Analyzing the Chinese and Pakistani experi- ences during the early stage of CPEC can provide valuable insights that help us understand the political economy of the BRI

The Meaning of Life - Epub + Converted PDF
نویسندگان: Russell Hasan خلاصه: The Meaning of Life: My Answer to Jordan B. Peterson According to Objectivism, what is the meaning of life? The meaning of life is: You. You are the meaning of your life. The meaning of your life is you. There is nothing else. Your life, and you living it, and the joy, and sadness, and whatever it means to you, that is the meaning of your life, that is the meaning of life for you. Jesus Christ is not the meaning of your life. Helping the poor, and Karl Marx, is not the meaning of your life. No. You, and only you, are the meaning of your own life. But that means that you have to work, and work hard, to create a meaningful life, to create meaning and intention and purpose and achievement for your life, to make your life meaningful. You have to do it, but it is something only you can do. Now, you could choose to have Jesus Christ be the meaning of your life, and many people have done that, but then that is about you, it isn't really about Jesus Christ. It's about what Jesus Christ means to you; it is not about Jesus Christ himself. And, likewise, you could choose for the meaning of your life to be helping others, but then it isn't really about helping others, it's really about you and the meaning that you create for yourself by choosing that as your purpose in life, as the focus of your life. People think that "What is the meaning of life?" is an impossible question to answer, but if you change it into "What is the meaning of my life?" then it becomes possible for you to answer it. But if you fail, if you do not create meaning and find meaningful people, events, emotions, goals, etc., in your life, then you fall into the void, the abyss, nihilism, then your life would have no meaning

ESUS AND JOHN WAYNE How White Evangelicals Corrupted a Faith and Fractured a Nation - Epub + Converted PDF
نویسندگان: Kristin Kobes Du Mez خلاصه: INTRODUCTION ON A BITTERLY COLD DAY IN JANUARY 2016, Donald Trump stood on the stage of an auditorium at a small Christian college in Iowa. He boasted of his poll numbers and his crowd sizes. He warned of the dangers posed by Muslims and undocumented immigrants, and he talked of building a border wall. He denigrated American politicians as stupid, weak, and pathetic. He claimed that Christianity was “under siege” and urged Christians to band together and assert their power. He promised to lead. He had no doubts about the loyalty of his followers: “I could stand in the middle of Fifth Avenue and shoot somebody and I wouldn’t lose any voters,” he claimed.1 That morning, the Rev. Robert Jeffress, pastor of First Baptist Dallas, introduced Trump. As a pastor Jeffress couldn’t endorse a candidate, but he made clear that he wouldn’t be there if he didn’t think Trump “would make a great president.” Jeffress wasn’t alone. Already at that point, before the Iowa caucuses at the beginning of February, 42 percent of white evangelicals supported Trump—more than any other candidate. The reason was simple, Jeffress contended. Evangelicals were “sick and tired of the status quo.” They were looking for the leader who would “reverse the downward death spiral of this nation that we love so dearly.”

نویسندگان: DAEGAN MILLER خلاصه: Then the coal company came with the world’s largest shovel, And they tortured the timber, and stripped all the land. Well, they dug for their coal till the land was forsaken, And they wrote it all down as the progress of man. John Prine, “Paradise”1 What happens when the past’s oldest witness comes crashing down dead? A new day will dawn . . . but over what? Where are we, who are we, when the bough breaks? Bostonians opened their eyes on a Wednesday morning in 1876 to opaque February skies bleakly blanketing a city made suddenly strange. At 7 p.m. the evening before, the enormous Great Elm on the famous Boston Common had been toppled by a hard wind.2 Of course, trees fall all the time with never a thought spared them, but the Great Elm was dif- ferent. It was famous in the nineteenth-century as an emissary from the past, and it appears ubiquitously in prose, poem, and print, a people’s treasured heirloom, believed to be among the last living witnesses to the young nation’s milestones; its loss was disorienting. Paul Revere, on his 1775 midnight ride, was rumored to have passed by the tree

Fundamentals of Discrete Element Methods for Rock Engineering - Original PDF
نویسندگان: Lanru Jing خلاصه: PREFACE This book is a summary of our collaborative teaching and research efforts over the last two decades relating to the subject of discrete element methods (DEM) and its applications to rock mechanics and rock engineering. We have not intended this book to be a thorough presentation of the most current cutting- edge research subjects in the fields of DEM and its applications in geosciences and geoengineering – because the advances are occurring too rapidly. Instead we present some fundamental concepts behind the basic theories and tools of DEM, its historical development and its wide scope of applications in geology, geophysics and rock engineering. We hope that, with this moderate ambition, it may be more helpful and useful for a larger number of practicing engineers, students and researchers alike and serve as a starting platform for more advanced and in-depth further studies. Unlike almost all books available on the general subject of DEM, this book includes coverage of both explicit and implicit DEM approaches, namely the distinct element methods and discontinuous deforma- tion analysis (DDA) for both rigid and deformable blocks and particle systems, and also the discrete fracture network (DFN) approach for fluid flow simulations. Actually the latter is also a discrete approach of importance for rock mechanics and rock engineering. In addition, brief introductions to some alternative approaches are also provided, such as percolation theory and Cosserat micro-mechanics equivalence to particle systems, which often appear hand in hand with the DEM in the literature. We provide a presentation of the fundamentals of the governing equations of the discrete systems concerning motion, deformation, fluid flow and heat transfer, to an extent that is currently considered in some available DEM codes. Special attention is given to constitutive models of rock fractures and fracture system characterization methods. These two issues are the basic building blocks of DEM and also have the most significant impacts on the performance and uncertainty of the DEM models. The DEMs were pioneered and continuously developed by Dr P. A. Cundall, the creator of the distinct element methods, and Dr Genhua Shi, the creator of DDA, block theory and numerical manifold method. The authors learned DEM basics from them and received continuous inspirations and encour- agements. This book presents only some basics of the distinct element methods and discontinuous deformation analysis, only small parts of their outstanding contributions. The first author expresses his special gratitude to Professor Xuefu Yu in China, who led the author into the fields of rock mechanics and numerical modeling in late 1970s and provided continuous guidance and encouragements

Silent Conflict A Hidden History of Early Soviet-Western Relations - Original PDF
نویسندگان: Michael Jabara Carley خلاصه: It is not easy to study the history of Soviet foreign policy or Soviet relations with the West. Until the beginning of the 1990s the Soviet archives were closed tight. After the collapse and dismemberment of the Soviet Union in 1991, the archives gradually opened, but only partially. Sometimes papers were opened only to be closed again. Russian archivists had tens of thou- sands of papki, or files, in their care and, not always knowing what was in them, were reluctant to open them to researchers. These include, inter alia, the important party archives for the inter-war years at Rossiiskii gosudarstven- nyi arkhiv sotsial’no-politicheskoi istorii (RGASPI) and the diplomatic papers of the Arkhiv vneshnei politiki Rossiiskoi Federatsii (AVPRF), the archives of the Russian foreign ministry. In AVPRF there were and are all sorts of dif- ficulties. Researchers have no access to inventories, so it’s like playing poker when asking archivists for files. Sometimes the files are rich, and you win, and sometimes not, and you lose. Computers were forbidden for a number of years, and photocopies were so costly as to make a new arrival gasp for air. You got used to the impediments and learned to function around them. The excitement of new discoveries and uncharted ground made you forget the numerous irritations
