The Life of Flavius Josephus
Flavius Josephus
PD-US
The Life of Josephus ("Iosepou bios"), also called the "Life of Flavius Josephus", is an autobiographical text written by Josephus in approximately 94-99 CE? possibly as an appendix to his Antiquities of the Jews (cf. Life 430)? where the author for the most part re-visits the events of the War, apparently in response to allegations made against him by Justus of Tiberias (cf. Life 336).

The town is, in om tale, called Gopher Prairie, Minn esota But Us Main Street is the continuation of Main Streets everywhere. The story would be the same in Ohio or Montana, in Kansas or Kentucky or Illinois, and not very differently would it be told Up York State or in the Carolina hills, Main Street is the climax of civilization. That this Ford car might stand in front of the Bon Ton Store, Hannibal invaded Rome and Erasmus wrote in Oxford cloisters. What Ole Jenson the grocer says to Ezra Stowbody the banker is the new law for London, Prague, and the unprofitable isles of the sea whatsoever Ezra does not know and sanction, that thing Is heresy, worthless for knowing and wicked to consider.

In the sensitive art of the Rosebud Movie Palace there is r Message, and humor strictly moral. Suck is our comfortable tradition and sure faith. Would he not betray himself an alien cynic who should otherwise portray Main Street, or distress the citizens by speculating whethef there may not be other faiths MAIN STREET CHAPTER I ON a Mil by the Mississippi where Chippewas camped two generations ago, a girl stood in relief against the cornflower blue of Northern sky. She saw no Indians now she saw flour mills and the blinking windows ofskyscrapers in Minneapolis and St. Paul. Nor was she thinking of squaws and portages and the Yankee fur-traders whose shadows were all about her. She was meditating upon walnut fudge, the plays of Brieux f the reasons why keels run over, and the fact that the chemistry instructor ad stared at the new coiffure which concealed her ears. A breeze which had crossed a thousand miles of wheat-lands bellied her taffeta skirt in a line so graceful, so full of animation and moving beauty, that the heart of a chance watcher on the lower road tightened to wistfulness over her quality of sus pended freedom. She lifted her arms, she leaned back against the wind, her skirt dipped and flared, a lock blew wild. A girl on a hilltop credulous, plastic, young drinking the air as she longed to drink life. The eternal aching comedy of expectant youth. It is Carol Milford, fleeing for an hour from Blodgett College. The days of pioneering, of lassies In sunbonnets, and bears killed with axes in piney clearings, are deader now than Came lot and a rebellious girl is the spirit of that bewildered empire called the American Middlewest. Blodgett College is on the edge of Minneapolis. It is a bulwark of sound religion. It is still combating the recent heresies of Voltaire, Darwin, and Robert Ingersoll. Pious r 3 MAIN STREET families in Minnesota, Iowa, Wisconsin, the Dakotas send their children thither, and Biodgett protects them from the wicked ness of the universities. But it secretes friendly girls, young men who sing, and one lady instructress who really likes Milton and Carlyle. So the four years which Carol spent at Biodgett were not altogether wasted. The smallness of the school, the fewness of rivals, permitted her to experiment with her perilous versatility. She played tennis, gave chafing-dish parties, took a graduate seminar in the drama, went twosing, and joined half a dozen societies for the practise of the arts or the tense stalking of a thing called General Culture. In her class there were two or three prettier girls, but none more eager. She was noticeable equally in the classroom grind and at dances, though out of the three hundred students of Biodgett, scores recited more accurately and dozens Bostoned more smoothly...

The new aestheticism
CC BY-NC-ND
The rise of literary theory spawned the rise of anti-aestheticism, so that even for cultural theorists, discussions concerning aesthetics were often carried out in a critical shorthand that failed to engage with the particularity of the work of art, much less the specificities of aesthetic experience. This book introduces the notion of a new aestheticism - 'new' insofar as it identifies a turn taken by a number of important contemporary thinkers towards the idea that focussing on the specifically aesthetic impact of a work of art or literature has the potential to open radically different ways of thinking about identity, politics and culture. The appearance of a new aestheticism at a moment that is often termed 'post-theoretical' is a direct index of the extent to which, as 'theory' now enters a more reflective phase, there is an increased willingness among critics and philosophers to consider the ways in which literary and cultural theory often overlooked key aspects of its reliance on philosophical aesthetics. With its impressive array of contributors, The new aestheticism will be of particular interest to students and scholars of literature, philosophy and cultural studies.

William Makepeace Thackeray
PD-US
William Makepeace Thackeray (1811-1863) was an English novelist of the 19th century. He was famous for his satirical works, particularly Vanity Fair (1847), a panoramic portrait of English society. Thackeray began as a satirist and parodist, with a sneaking fondness for roguish upstarts like Becky Sharp in Vanity Fair, Barry Lyndon in Barry Lyndon (1844) and Catherine in Catherine (1839). In his earliest works, writing under such pseudonyms as Charles James Yellowplush, Michael Angelo Titmarsh and George Savage Fitz-Boodle, he tended towards the savage in his attacks on high society, military.
Biological Activity and Applications of Natural Compounds
CC BY
Nature represents an amazing source of inspiration, since it produces a great diversity of natural compounds selected by evolution, which exhibit multiple biological activities and applications. A large and very active research field is dedicated to identifying biosynthesized compounds, to improve/develop new methodologies, to produce/reuse natural compounds, and to assess their potential for pharmaceutical, cosmetic and food industries, among others, and additionally, to understand their mechanism of action. This book is dedicated to presenting the most recent results on the development of natural compounds’ applications. Ten original research works, organized by applications, and two reviews are included. Each of them contributes to the knowledge advance, insofar as they present new applications for known products, new methodologies to obtain new products, or the evaluation of a given application, with the applications related to health promotion being the most frequently considered. These works are significant contributions and reinforce the dynamic field of natural products’ applications.
Diabetic Foot Ulcers Treatment Market.pdf
Fairfield Market Research
Foot ulcers, a common condition seen in patients suffering diabetes mellitus, remain a threatening consequence for diabetic patients. While foot ulceration typically tends to develop at least once after the patient is diagnosed with diabetes, the unprecedentedly expanding pool of diabetic patients only indicates the incessant need for effective treatment of diabetic foot ulcers. A new ongoing study of Fairfield Market Research suggests that global diabetic foot ulcers treatment market awaits a healthy growth outlook, majorly driven by the growing prevalence of diabetes and prediabetic conditions worldwide. An expanding geriatric population with one or more comorbidities is at a higher risk of acquiring diabetes, and the consequent diabetic foot complications. This will remain the prime factor fuelling demand for diabetic foot ulcers treatment.
