Beschreibung

"Modern Adjustments" explores the fascinating evolution of global timekeeping, revealing the hidden scientific and historical forces that shape our daily lives. The book examines ongoing adjustments to our calendrical systems, like leap years and leap seconds, which are vital for maintaining astronomical accuracy. Did you know that without these seemingly minor corrections, our calendars would drift significantly over time, eventually misaligning with the seasons? The book also delves into the relatively recent history of time zone standardization and its profound impact on international communication and global commerce. These zones, while appearing straightforward, are the result of complex negotiations and agreements, reflecting the interconnectedness of our modern world. The text progresses through key concepts, the history of calendar reform, and potential future scenarios, offering a comprehensive view of time standardization. This book uniquely emphasizes the dynamic interplay between scientific accuracy, historical context, and practical considerations in global timekeeping. It's not just a technical overview but an exploration of how these factors shape our understanding of time. By drawing upon historical documents, scientific publications, and international data "Modern Adjustments" connects astronomy, history, and economics to provide a rich, accessible narrative for anyone interested in the science and history behind our calendars and clocks.

    She's Unlikeable - And Other...

    When Aparna Shewakramani appeared on Netflix’s hit series Indian Matchmaking, it soon became clear that Aparna knew what she wanted. But all stories are told through certain lenses—and her story is no exception. Being on a reality show made Aparna feel like a character. Her decisiveness and sense of self-worth led viewers to see her as a very specific archetype: the villain, the woman you love to hate, the unlikeable woman. It turned around, though, with a single message of support: Be Like Aparna. Soon supporters were in the tens of thousands. Women are tired of seeing other women being vilified simply because they have a voice. In this book, you will learn about the real Aparna Shewakramani. She bares it all—the good, the bad, and the it-depends-on-how-you-look-at-it. There is her mother’s bravery in escaping an abusive marriage, Aparna’s diagnosis of an autoimmune disease, and her confession that she, too, is susceptible to the deep-rooted need to be pretty and likeable. But it is also the story of her entrepreneurial spirit and her success. It is about lessons learned and the strength to be your own woman. This is a journey to prevent Aparna-the-person from being erased by Aparna-the-character.

    This is an audiobook of Bodhi Leaves No. 148 by P. D. Premasiri, Buddhism in a Value-changing Society narrated by Jayashree Tata Nagaraj. The print edition can be found in the Pariyatti Edition of Collected Bodhi Leaves Vol. 5. The eBook of Bodhi Leaves No. 148 can be downloaded from the BPS website.
     
    Excerpt:
     
    Values can be approached from two different standpoints. Most social scientists prefer to take the standpoint that may be called sociological relativism in dealing with questions of value in relation to different societies. The social scientist’s approach does not involve any absolute standard for judging the goodness or badness of the norms upheld by a particular society. The application of such an approach to examine the existing values of a traditional Buddhist society involves merely a description of the social behaviour of its people and a causal explanation of such behaviour.
     
    The subject under investigation in the present discussion is the question of the relationship between Buddhism and changing values. Where doesBuddhism stand in a value-changing world? Here, we have admitted in some sense that we are living in a world in which values are changing. In this connection it may be questioned whether values themselves are changing or whether it is only our beliefs about values that are changing. I made the point that our beliefs about facts do change. But is there a sense in saying that facts changes?
