《Betwixt and Between: Life, Death, and Rebirth》is a record of Master Nan’s talks in which he answered questions about the process of death and rebirth. Master Nan weaves together personal anecdotes, scientific knowledge, Buddhist teachings from the Pali Canon, Mahayana sutras, Yogacara, Vijnanavada, and Chan in such an intricate way that those who are curious about the Buddhist perspective on life and death, those familiar with Buddhist teachings, and those who are deep into cultivation will all gain new insights and answers. For its depth, this book is very engaging and hard to put down. Any reader will find it to be a treasure trove and will want to come back to it again and again.

Influenced by his upbringing in post-war Japan, and the ideological, social, economic and artistic transformations of the era, Noda Tetsuya started to build a diary of prints in the 1960s, recording his daily life and mastering the challenge of documenting the reality around him in both true and artistic fashion. Works presented in this publication offer unparalleled insights into the artist’s hand skills and color palette, as well as his intense personal feelings and trademark humility. Few printmakers are quite as exploratory in terms of their technique and so precise in their choice of depicted subjects. Noda Tetsuya’s Diary of Contemporary Japanese Prints represents the long-accumulated knowledge of a well-practiced artform by one of Japan’s bestestablished artists, while also documenting—in true diary fashion—events that have shaped his personal life, while also standing for the collective experience of Noda’s generation and the societal change witnessed over the last several de

本書集結六篇論文（第一、三、四、六篇德文，第二篇西班牙文，第五篇義大利文），本書為因應時代變遷下的教育環境及學生職涯挑戰，在教學方法上所提出新的論述及建構。 This book contains essays by various teachers from different universities and departments with the aim of presenting modern teaching methods for the changed learning and study conditions on the basis of theoretical preliminary considerations. Language teachers at Taiwanese universities often encounter similar difficulties in designing lessons: students’ increasing frustration and lack of motivation. Many students experience a high level of frustration and demotivation; they cannot find future prospects in language studies. Confronted with reality of time-consuming internships, part-time jobs and life, many students become painfully aware that a linguistic degree won’t prepare them for later work or provides career opportunities. In addition, they realize their low language skills and life experiences. Aware of that problem, the language departments have to find new teaching methods and create curricula which

Chinese Diaspora Charity and the Cantonese Pacific, 1850–1949 sheds new light on the history of charity among Chinese overseas and its place in the history of charity in China and in the wider history of global philanthropy. It finds that diaspora charity, besides serving traditional functions of helping the sick and destitute and supporting development in China, helped to build trust among dispersed hometown networks while challenging color boundaries in host societies by contributing to wider social causes. The book shows that charitable activities among the “Gold Rush” communities of the Pacific rim—a loosely integrated émigré network from Guangdong Province perhaps better known for its business acumen and hard work among English-speaking settler societies in North America and Australasia—also led the way with social innovations that helped to shape modern charity in China. Fitzgerald and Yip’s volume demonstrates that charity lay at the heart of community life among Chinese commu

There are few textbooks or reference works on international trade finance pertaining to Hong Kong. This text covers all the basic concepts of international trade and takes into account actual practices of trade financing in Hong Kong. The book consists of two sections—the Principles Section and the Practical Guide Section. Risks associated with most trade-finance products are discussed. This second edition represents a substantial revision to the first edition first published in 1999. Readers will find this book an update of the adoption of UCP–600 and new practices of the services by ECIC and major trade promotion institutions in Hong Kong. Major differences between Incoterms 2000 and 2010 will also be discussed. The book provides ample and systematic material for the training of practicing bankers, import and export managers, and lawyers.

A number of research groups around the world have begun to study how the brain acquires and processes language, but we still know comparatively little about it. Many such groups work on very specific, often narrow, problems. This approach is certainly necessary, but a broad perspective can be helpful, if not essential, too. This volume consists of an important collection of papers presented at the Seminar on Language, Evolution, and the Brain (SLEB), hosted by the International Institute for Advanced Studies in Kyoto, Japan, bringing together distinguished researchers with background in cognitive science, anthropology, linguistics, robotics, physics, etc. Major topics discussed here include: Creoles and pidgins, and their implications regarding language evolution. Quantitative analysis and modeling of various aspects of language evolution, including the evolution of lexical items and color terms, the emergence of linguistics categories, and the dynamics of language competition. The ev

This is the story of Blue, a T-Rex who navigates the life of being an investment banker. Blue adapts to the customs, lingo, and schedule of his workplace culture, offering humorous insights into the struggles of fitting in and changing. As time goes on, Blue finds that he misses the jungle he came from and his dinosaur friends, and questions the tedious cycle of meetings, overtimes, and early mornings, sparking a reflection on the true meaning of his dreams. This T-Rex’s story is meant to represent the sharp reality many young adults find when they actually achieve their dreams. Whether that is a dream career, college, or relationship, the magic of the dream is often not as it seems. This is not to discourage people from pursuing their dreams, but to show that dreams bend, change, and shift over time.

We live on earth as if sailing at sea. This book points out how we may find a harbor for our souls to rest, anchoring in God, so that our lives are connected to Him—sure and steadfast, and one which enter within the veil, and enter into eternity. Now we have a great hope, not only to draw near to God, but to dwell in Him, tasting a glimpse of heaven. 人生如行船，本書為您指出靈魂得安棲的港口，教導我們拋錨於神裡面之道，不但能親近神，而且得以住在神裡面，預嚐天堂的樣式；使漂泊的靈魂得與神連結，又堅固、又牢靠，直通到永恆。

Proverbs 4:22 from Scripture says, “For they are life to those who find them and health to one’s whole body.” God's way of life is the best medicine. Pastor Daniel Tsao has compiled “42 Doses” based on Bible verses, supplemented by vivid testimonies and teachings of miraculous healing. Readers can take it three times a day, just like taking medicine. Read a scripture, chew it, meditate on it, pray, and then eat it! This is the prescription for divine healing and divine health. We pray and hope readers will be brought before God through this book, enter into His flow of life and healing waters, and get better or even be healed of their illnesses. 聖經箴言4:22提到神的話，說：「因為得著祂的，就得了生命，又得了醫全體的良藥。」 神生命之道是最好的藥方，曹力中牧師以聖經經文編寫出〈42帖藥〉，輔以生動的神醫見證與教導。讀者可以每天按三餐服用，像吃藥一樣，讀一處經文，咀嚼、默想、禱告、吃下去！這是屬天醫治與神聖健康之藥方。 期待讀者藉這本書被帶到神的面前，進入祂生命與醫治的水流中，病情好轉甚至得醫痊。

With the increasing number of complaints and court cases relating to healthcare disputes, healthcare practitioners (HCPs) are now facing more challenges and dilemmas in their daily practices. This book is unique in that most chapters are written jointly by two authors: one with legal training and one with a healthcare background. The balanced view offered thus allows readers to gain a thorough understanding of the concepts presented. Although most of the examples and scenarios are specific to medical doctors, the basic principles and ethical considerations as well as the enforcement of laws and regulations are, with some modifications, equally applicable to other HCPs, such as dentists, nurses, midwives, etc. Readers interested in healthcare law and ethics from numerous fields and stages of training, including legal and healthcare practitioners, trainees, postgraduate researchers and undergraduate students, will find this book both informative and practical as an aid to their work and

The ultimate goal of this thesis is to construct an optimal global portfolio with ETFs. We choose the iShares MSCI country index ETFs as our assets. We start with the calculation of correlation between these countries. We find out that there is potential benefit undertaking international diversification. While comparing with the former research, the potential benefit is smaller. We examine the effect of investing internationally of each country. And we can see that not all countries are benefit from international diversification. While considering international diversification, investors have to look at the characteristic of the domestic country to make decision. In the international level, we can see that the investment risk would decrease and the return would increase. And the marginal effect decreases. In our test, the return, risk and efficiency come stable after adding the 14th asset into the global portfolio. Therefore we construct our global portfolio with 13 assets. We can see

Leung Ping Kwan brought as much talent and inspiration to the writing of his short stories as he did to his poems. ‘I have drawn on magical realism to explore the absurdity of Hong Kong,’ he wrote of the story ‘See Mun and the Dragon’ (1975) in which we find him using a simple, clipped style. The later story ‘Drowned Souls’ (2007) was written in a more symbolic, lyrical and more complex manner. Although the two stories are separated by over thirty years, and are in many ways so very different, dragons play a prominent part in both. The dragon has always been a fascinating creature, a complex embodiment of the timeless soul of China, symbol of the universal power of the imagination, of the creative energy and transformative possibilities of the Tao. Both of these enchanting stories are anchored in the author’s idea of freedom and liberation.

This book is a novel modelled on Plato’s Republic as a series of dialogues between a half-retired college professor and his former student, taking place in several weeks in a row on various scenic and memorable locations in Hong Kong – in Central, on the Peak, on Repulse Bay and in Stanley on Hong Kong Island, as well as in Cheung Chau, an outlying island of Hong Kong. The story starts by the professor greeting and receiving his former student Julian to tea and for a friendly chat in the professors’ favourite old teahouse in Central. Their conversation, initially centring around the current events taking place in Hong Kong, soon evolves into an in-depth discussion of the immediate and subtler causes and factors leading to such a state of affairs that has been described by the local media and the Government as ‘public activities’. Since both the professor and Julian find their discussion and exchange very interesting and fruitful, they decide to continue with it in the weeks that follo

This is a novel, not a text book, although the reader may like to use some of the content of this book for German language teaching or learning. This is a novel that is intended to serve a dual purpose: For reading pleasure and for picking up and/or boosting one’s existing knowledge of German. The book should be read chapter by chapter, starting from Part I all the way to the end of Part II, as the story and the progression of the language instruction and discussion follow a linear thread. As far as the story goes, the reader will find the two main characters, William and Becky from Hong Kong, both college students who have just completed their first year of a degree programme and are now on exchange to University of Freiburg in Germany for a semester – August to December, which eventually turns out to be a bit longer, extending to end of February. This is part of an internationalization programme that they are going through and capitalizing on. On arrival in Germany their first stop

近代中國詩之英譯範本，去認識中華文化的價值 今天，我們在一本書中細讀現代中國三十位風雲人物的詩詞，可以認清每個人的人格和事業功過，同時看清歷史的過程和真實。 ★ 欣賞古詩體裁寫現代人情世事 陳寅恪有「以詩證史」的說法。實在，詩詞流瀉的人情，連歷史亦容納不盡。今天，我們在一本書中細讀現代中國三十位風雲人物的詩詞，可以認清每個人的人格和事業功過，同時看清歷史的過程和真實。 Chen Yinke offered a concept of “poems substantiate history”. As we present in one book the poems of thirty poets who had helped to shape modern China, we anticipate readers to find the contents rich, revealing and meaningful. Our readers will see from the words of the poets a clear view of who is what, and identify wise decisions from selfish mistakes. They will then understand history in human dynamic terms.

俳句式的極短詩作，極簡的基調。由現代詩主流中昇華而出的新聲音。 ◎中英雙語對照Chinese – English。首數是333，加上英譯部分則為666首。 ◎一種良性的「脫胎換骨」；跨越了「現代詩」，奔回那源頭「詩歌」來！ ◎在「質」的方面產生了「良性變異」，風格命名為「自然神秘」，迥異於當前仍是詩中「顯學」的「現代詩」！ 倘若一輩子只寫「現代詩」作品，便是不能「找到詩歌裡的自己」（to find the self of the poetry），也便是讓自己的「我的詩歌自我」（my poetry self）成為「現代詩」的「殖民地」！──白家華 儘管雨珠居住在雲朵的淨潔之屋裡， 它們仍然樂意降落到地上來協助小野花盛開。 Even though the raindrops dwell in the clean houses of the clouds, they are pleased to fall down to the ground and help the little wild flowers blossom.

Having analysed the most common English errors made in over 600 academic papers written by Chinese undergraduates, postgraduates, and researchers, Steve Hart has written an essential, practical guide specifically for the native Chinese speaker on how to write good academic English. English Exposed: Common Mistakes Made by Chinese Speakers is divided into three main sections. The first section examines errors made with verbs, nouns, prepositions, and other grammatical classes of words. The second section focuses on problems of word choice. In addition to helping the reader find the right word, it provides instruction for selecting the right style too. The third section covers a variety of other areas essential for the academic writer, such as using punctuation, adding appropriate references, referring to tables and figures, and selecting among various English date and time phrases. Using English Exposed will allow a writer to produce material where content and ideas—not language mist

Candlestick technical analysis is an old trading technique that tracks the short-term price movements by employing the relationship between open, high, low, and close prices. The purpose of this thesis is to examine the predictive power of candlestick trading strategies by using the Taiwan 151 component stocks daily data for the period from 2 January 1992 to 31 December 2009. The main contribution of this thesis is using a fourprice- level approach to categorize the single-line patterns constructed by candlestick charting in a systematical manner. The approach adopted in this thesis permits us to release for the limitation of recognition in a manner not previously possible. Moreover, we not only consider transaction costs and risk but also mitigate data-snooping problems conscientiously by several appropriate methods, including the bootstrap methodology and sub-sample and out-of-sample tests. We find evidence that four patterns are profitable for the Taiwan stock market after transacti

I'm a failure. I always have the feeling that I want to get back somewhere, but I don't know just where it is. 我感到失意。我心裡一直渴望能有個回歸的地方，卻遍尋不著。─O Henry. 歐．亨利（O. Henry）是美國知名的短篇小說作家，與契訶夫和莫泊桑並列世界三大短篇小說巨匠。 歐．亨利著作豐富，一生中留下了一部長篇小說和近三百篇的短篇小說。其小說內容主要以美國的大城市生活（尤其是紐約）為背景，主人翁以中下階層的平凡老百姓為主，寫作特色則以出人意料的結局最為讀者所熟悉。 歐．亨利的小說架構設計精巧，故事行進中多有幽默的橋段，最後再以讀者想像不到的結尾收場。歐．亨利很擅長設計這種出其不意的結局，這成為了他小說中最大的特色，這種結局的寫作方法也因此被稱為「歐．亨利式結尾」（O. Henry Ending）。 歐．亨利的原名為William Sidney Poter，1862年生於美國北卡羅萊納州。1902年，他移居紐約，成為職業小說家。他勤於筆耕，寫作速度很快，作品也普受歡迎，因而名利雙收。然而，他步上父親的後塵，染上酗酒的惡習，最終落魄謝世。 本書一共輯錄了歐．亨利深具代表性的15篇短篇小說，包括： 1. The Last Leaf（最後一片藤葉） 2. The Gift of the Magi（聖誕禮物） 3. The Cop and the Anthem（警察與讚美詩） 4. The Romance of a Busy Broker（忙碌證券商的愛情故事） 5. The Love-Philtre of Ikey Schoenstein（愛情迷幻藥） 6. Springtime à la Carte（春日菜單） 7. The Ransom of Red Chief（紅酋長的贖金） 8. The Pendulum（鐘擺） 9. The Green Door（綠門） 10. The Furnished Room（附家具出租的房間） 11. The Count and the Wedding Guest（伯爵與婚禮賓客） 12. One Thousand Dollars（一千元） 13. The Duplicity of Hargraves（哈
