Astrologia chińskai księga przemian I-cing
Catherine Aubier
Astrologia chińska zrodziła się, zanim jeszcze buddyzm przyjął się w Chinach na dobre. Zakorzenienie się buddyzmu w Państwie Środka miało miejsce dopiero w piątym wieku ery chrześcijańskiej, czyli mniej więcej w tysiąc lat po dokonaniu się ziemskiej misji Buddy Gautamy. Astrologowie zaś uprawiali swą sztukę w Chinach już na dziesięć wieków przed Chrystusem. Jeśli jednak początki owej astrologii wywołały wiele sprzecznych interpretacji, to sam fakt jej uprawiania na pewno sięga czasów niepamiętnych. Mimo różnorodnych wersji istnieje jeden pewnik. W przeciwieństwie do kultury Zachodu, która wypracowała astrologię słoneczną, opartą na pozornym ruchu i zmianach położenia gwiazdy dziennej w naszym zodiaku (z miesiąca na miesiąc), Daleki Wschód stworzył koncepcję astrologii księżycowej, związaną z rocznym cyklem miesięcy księżycowych. Oto dlaczego azjatycki Nowy Rok (wietnamskie święto Tet) nie przypada nigdy w tym samym czasie. Dla astrologa zachodniego fazy Księżyca są także ważne, ale znaczą dla niego co innego, mają odmienne implikacje, nie wpisują się w ten sam kontekst i układy odniesień, jak u astrologa Wschodu. Nie wdając się w rozważania ściśle naukowe – wykraczałoby to poza cele przyświecające tej edycji – przywołajmy jedynie fakt oczywistego i wielostronnego oddziaływania Księżyca w obrębie praw fizyki na przypływy i odpływy morza, na zjawiska zachodzące w ludzkim ciele (miesiączkowanie kobiet), a także na nieodgadnione głębie ludzkiej psychiki. Termin „księżycowy” ma znaczenie dokładnie sprecyzowane, nawet kliniczne. Niedawne wyniki badań statystycznych pozwoliły, na przykład, zwrócić uwagę opinii publicznej na osobliwe narastanie gwałtów i przestępczości, łącznie z morderstwami, podczas pełni Księżyca. Z drugiej strony, skrupulatne doświadczenia przeprowadzane przez naukowców wykazały bezpośredni wpływ naszego satelity na skład chemiczny niektórych organizmów, których struktura molekularna może ulegać zmianom w zależności od tego, czy pada na nie światło księżycowe.

With more than a million apps available from Google Play, it is more important than ever to build apps that stand out from the crowd. To be successful, apps must react quickly to user input, deliver results in a flash, and sync data in the background. The key to this is understanding the right way to implement asynchronous operations that work with the platform, instead of against it. Asynchronous Android is a practical book that guides you through the concurrency constructs provided by the Android platform, illustrating the applications, benefits, and pitfalls of each.Learn to use AsyncTask correctly to perform operations in the background, keeping user-interfaces running smoothly while avoiding treacherous memory leaks. Discover Handler, HandlerThread and Looper, the related and fundamental building blocks of asynchronous programming in Android. Escape from the constraints of the Activity lifecycle to load and cache data efficiently across your entire application with the Loader framework. Keep your data fresh with scheduled tasks, and understand how Services let your application continue to run in the background, even when the user is busy with something else.Asynchronous Android will help you to build well-behaved apps with smooth, responsive user-interfaces that delight users with speedy results and data that's always fresh, and keep the system happy and the battery charged by playing by the rules.
Asynchronous Android Programming. Click here to enter text. - Second Edition
Helder Vasconcelos, Steve Liles
Asynchronous programming has acquired immense importance in Android programming, especially when we want to make use of the number of independent processing units (cores) available on the most recent Android devices. With this guide in your hands you’ll be able to bring the power of Asynchronous programming to your own projects, and make your Android apps more powerful than ever before!To start with, we will discuss the details of the Android Process model and the Java Low Level Concurrent Framework, delivered by Android SDK. We will also guide you through the high-level Android-specific constructs available on the SDK: Handler, AsyncTask, and Loader. Next, we will discuss the creation of IntentServices, Bound Services and External Services, which can run in the background even when the user is not interacting with it. You will also discover AlarmManager and JobScheduler APIs, which are used to schedule and defer work without sacrificing the battery life. In a more advanced phase, you will create background tasks that are able to execute CPU-intensive tasks in a native code-making use of the Android NDK. You will be then guided through the process of interacting with remote services asynchronously using the HTTP protocol or Google GCM Platform. Using the EventBus library, we will also show how to use the Publish-Subscribe software pattern to simplify communication between the different Android application components by decoupling the event producer from event consumer.Finally, we will introduce RxJava, a popular asynchronous Java framework used to compose work in a concise and reactive way. Asynchronous Android will help you to build well-behaved applications with smooth responsive user interfaces that delight the users with speedy results and data that’s always fresh.
