The 'Lviv Sobor' of 1946 and Its Aftermath Towards Truth and Reconciliation
Adam a J Deville, "The 'Lviv Sobor' of 1946 and Its Aftermath: Towards Truth and Reconciliation "
English | ISBN: 9004545670 | 2023 | 244 pages | PDF | 2 MB
In 1946 the 'Lviv Sobor' voted to liquidate the Ukrainian Greco-Catholic Church. The Moscow Patriarchate considers it a 'triumph of Orthodoxy, ' while the Catholic Church condemns it as an illegitimate council convened by Soviet authorities. What is the truth? This volume presents the contexts of the 'Lviv Sobor, ' its aftermath, and reception from various perspectives. Although there is no common narrative, scholars have concluded that the decisions of the 'Lviv Sobor' were coerced by Soviet authorities, the Russian Orthodox Church was forced to collaborate, and that reconciliation depends on acknowledging these facts in order to move toward reconciliation.

Tensor Methods in Statistics Monographs on Statistics and Applied Probability
P. McCullagh, "Tensor Methods in Statistics: Monographs on Statistics and Applied Probability "
English | ISBN: 1315898012 | 2017 | 301 pages | EPUB | 6 MB
This book provides a systematic development of tensor methods in statistics, beginning with the study of multivariate moments and cumulants. The effect on moment arrays and on cumulant arrays of making linear or affine transformations of the variables is studied. Because of their importance in statistical theory, invariant functions of the cumulants are studied in some detail. This is followed by an examination of the effect of making a polynomial transformation of the original variables. The fundamental operation of summing over complementary set partitions is introduced at this stage. This operation shapes the notation and pervades much of the remainder of the book. The necessary lattice-theory is discussed and suitable tables of complementary set partitions are provided. Subsequent chapters deal with asymptotic approximations based on Edgeworth expansion and saddlepoint expansion. The saddlepoint expansion is introduced via the Legendre transformation of the cumulant generating function, also known as the conjugate function of the cumulant generating function. A recurring them is that, with suitably chosen notation, multivariate calculations are often simpler and more transparent than the corresponding univariate calculations. The final two chapters deal with likelihood ratio statistics, maximum likelihood estimation and the effect on inferences of conditioning on ancillary or approximately ancillary statistics. The Bartlett adjustment factor is derived in the general case and simplified for certain types of generalized linear models. Finally, Barndorff-Nielsen's formula for the conditional distribution of the maximum liklelihood estimator is derived and discussed. More than 200 Exercises are provided to illustrate the uses of tensor methodology.

Ted Sullivan, Barnacle of Baseball The Life of the Prolific League Founder, Scout, Manager and Unrivaled Huckster
Pat O'Neill, "Ted Sullivan, Barnacle of Baseball: The Life of the Prolific League Founder, Scout, Manager and Unrivaled Huckster"
English | ISBN: 1476684782 | 2021 | 285 pages | EPUB | 17 MB
In his day, perhaps no one in baseball was better known than Irish-born Timothy Paul "Ted" Sullivan. For 50 years, America's sportswriters sang his praises, genuflected to his genius and bought his blarney by the barrel. Damon Runyon dubbed him "The Celebrated Carpetbagger of Baseball." Cunning, fast-talking, witty and sober, Sullivan was the game's first player agent, a groundbreaking scout who pulled future Hall of Famers from the bushes, an author, a playwright and a baseball evangelist who promoted the game across five continents. He coined the term "fan" and was among the first to suggest the designated hitter-because pitchers were "a lot of whippoorwill swingers." But he was also a convert to the Jim Crow attitudes of his day-black ballplayers were unimaginable to him. Unearthing thousands of contemporaneous newspaper accounts, this first exhaustive biography of "Hustlin'" Ted Sullivan recounts the life and career of one of the greatest hucksters in the history of the game.

Teaching Frankenstein A Cautionary Tale
Teaching Frankenstein: A Cautionary Tale By Viktor James
2018 | 324 Pages | ISBN: 0692184678 | EPUB | 1 MB
Every student has a story...But you won't find it here. Dark, profane, and absurd, this comedy follows the journey of a young teacher on a misguided adventure to resurrect dead dreams. After being let go from his first school, the nameless narrator finds himself at a tough urban high school ready to quit. He decides that the only way to rekindle his passion for teaching is through his favorite novel. It's a decision that leads him on an unsuspecting journey where he discovers that teaching a book about monsters means dealing with his own first. The story exposes the importance of friendship and the truth behind what it means to be a teacher. Based on real events, the novel parallels Mary Shelley's 1818 classic, Frankenstein, and shows that 200 years later, humanity still struggles to identify the real monsters. It's a must-read for aspiring educators, teachers, and those struggling with adulting.Newly Edited, 2nd Edition
