My name is Cosmo Baptist Rodney Lanier-Eno. I'm Jamaican American, born around noon at Doctors Hospital in Fairfield Jamaica, right outside of Montego Bay. I lived there for the first six years of my life then I moved to New Jersey where my Grandma & Pop Pop lived, along with my aunt Diann and my only cousin Thalia. My Mom, born Peggy Lee Lanier who later on changed her name to Pele after the Hawaiian volcano goddess, was a music producer and an African / Caribbean music consultant. She managed two artists, Mutaburuka and Tony Rebel. We moved to the United States so she could be closer to the music. Its hard working from an island I suppose. Pele worked through a company called Reed Midem based in New York. My grandmother lived in New Jersey an hour away from New York. The situation was perfect. I have two older brothers Baba Ch'ien Harte and Eli Alexus Harte. Ch'ien is the oldest. Fun fact I never knew Ch'ien's real name was Baba Ch'ien. His friends called him Baba; I hated that because I know him by Ch'ien. I refused to call my brother his nickname. Later to find out that's not just a nickname but that's really his name. Yea I know it's pretty sad. I didn't know my own brothers real name but hey it happens, well maybe not often but it happens. Ch'ien has classic first born syndrome, think you're the shit and important because you're first born. You think you have some type of status, yea right it's all about the youngest. Whoop whoop. Ch'ien is the rugged type, very adventurous and outgoing. He and I have had many battles. Some verbally, some physically, some in whatever game system we had at the time. Ch'ien used to torment me growing up. Not cool. But what I hear is Eli had it ten times worse than me. Ch'ien was born in England. We all have the same mother. I have a different father; Ch'ien and Eli have the same father Nigel Harte. Nigel is pretty cool I've only met him in person once. I don't know him personally too well to base any hard feelings about him. All I really know is he was married to my Mom, they argued a lot and my Mom against Nigel's wishes left him, while the times were good they made my brothers. Nigel is from England. Eli didn't follow his dad and oldest brother he was born in California. If you're not getting it by now my Mom loves to travel. Back to my middle brother Eli, or as I would like to call him the favorite child aka Mr. Pretty Boy aka ladies' man aka the lady killer. Everyone in the family loves him. He can do no wrong. It's quiet sickening to be honest with you. He doesn't like to make waves with anyone so it makes it hard to get pissed at him. For me that doesn't matter. If you do something to piss me off I'm mad at you regardless of how nice you are. I've been mad at Eli more times than I can remember. Don't tell my Grandma that Ola Mae Lanier. She wouldn't like that. Grandma would defend Eli to no end. She is his number 1 fan, as well as the president and founder of the Eli can do no wrong' fan club. Other members in that club are my aunt, cousin and even my Mom a little. Parents are not supposed to have favorites but I'm not stupid. I will say this I could give Eli a little competition for favorite son. My Grandma on the other hand loves me and spoiled me when it comes to food but Eli still is her favorite. It's like a fabolous mix-tape there is no competition. I haven't had the best relationship with my Grandma. It can be more rocky than smooth. She can be very crazy and mean. We have our moments of peace but mostly for my whole life we bumped heads. She bumps heads with everyone. I care for her because she is my Grandmother and for goodness sake she birthed my Mom who birthed me. There aren't many reasons why I love her; it's not all bad but there's not much good either, which is sad. She is a handful and has made my life very stressful and any family member that has been in steady contact with her. You wouldn't believe that by looking at her. She is

"Monster," I smirked to myself as I read the morning paper. If they only knew the truth. I sipped my coffee as I skimmed through the story. They had all the details wrong and the police were idiots. I heard the bell chime on the door to the coffee shop and saw her walk in. Her hair was down just the way I liked it. She was perfect I thought to myself as I eyed her and planned my next move. I think when she finally saw me she made the connection. Her eyes got wide. "Ethan?" Ethan Graves is a well-known man in the community with a dark secret. His darkness is so great that even he can't control it sometimes. He plays his role well during the day but at night he takes on a whole new persona. The newspapers call him a monster and the police are baffled. Then the new detective on the case walks in. The one that he let go. The one he was obsessed with. It was finally time to make her his. The game of cat and mouse had never been something he would ever consider, he usually likes the woman to be weak and defenseless against his charm and good looks. However, for this kill, he would play the game and Josephine Wells would be his trophy.

Appealing to Monster Theory and the ancient Near Eastern motif of "Chaoskampf," Safwat Marzouk argues that the paradoxical character of the category of the monster is what prompts the portrayal of Egypt as a monster in the book of Ezekiel. While on the surface the monster seems to embody utter difference, underlying its otherness there is a disturbing sameness. Though the monster may be defeated and its body dismembered, it is never completely annihilated. Egypt is portrayed as a monster in the book of Ezekiel because Egypt represents the threat of religious assimilation. Although initially the monstrosity of Egypt is constructed because of the shared elements of identity between Egypt and Israel, the prophet flips this imagery of monster in order to embody Egypt as a monstrous Other. In a combat myth, YHWH defeats the monster and dismembers its body. Despite its near annihilation, Egypt, in Ezekiel's rhetoric, is not entirely obliterated. Rather, it is kept at bay, hovering at the periphery, questioning Israel's identity.

This volume contains essays by some of the leading scholars in the study of the Jewish religious ideas in the Second Temple period, that led up to the development of early forms of Rabbinic Judaism and Christianity. Close attention is paid to the cosmological ideas to be found in the Ancient Near East and in the Hebrew Bible and to the manner in which the translators of the Hebrew Bible into Greek reflected the creativity with which Judaism engaged Hellenistic ideas about the cosmos and the creation. The concepts of heaven and divine power, human mortality, the forces of nature, combat myths, and the philosophy of wisdom, as they occur in 2 Maccabees, Ben Sira, Wisdom of Solomon and Tobit, are carefully analysed and compared with Greek and Roman world-views. There are also critical examinations of Dead Sea scroll texts, early Jewish prayers and Hebrew liturgical poetry and how they these adopt, adapt and alter earlier ideas. The editors have included appreciations of two major figures who played important roles in the study of the Second Temple period and in the history and development of the ISDCL, namely, Otto Kaiser and Alexander Di Lella, who died recently and are greatly missed by those in the field.

Anthropomorphizing the Cosmos explores the sociocultural significance of more than three hundred Middle Preclassic Maya figurines uncovered at the site of Nixtun-Ch'ich' on Lake Petén Itzá in northern Guatemala. In this careful, holistic, and detailed analysis of the Petén lakes figurines—hand-modeled, terracotta anthropomorphic fragments, animal figures, and musical instruments such as whistles and ocarinas—Prudence M. Rice engages with a broad swath of theory and comparative data on Maya ritual practice. Presenting original data, Anthropomorphizing the Cosmos offers insight into the synchronous appearance of fired-clay figurines with the emergence of societal complexity in and beyond Mesoamerica. Rice situates these Preclassic Maya figurines in the broader context of Mesoamerican human figural representation, identifies possible connections between anthropomorphic figurine heads and the origins of calendrics and other writing in Mesoamerica, and examines the role of anthropomorphic figurines and zoomorphic musical instruments in Preclassic Maya ritual. The volume shows how community rituals involving the figurines helped to mitigate the uncertainties of societal transitions, including the beginnings of settled agricultural life, the emergence of social differentiation and inequalities, and the centralization of political power and decision-making in the Petén lowlands. Literature on Maya ritual, cosmology, and specialized artifacts has traditionally focused on the Classic period, with little research centering on the very beginnings of Maya sociopolitical organization and ideological beliefs in the Middle Preclassic. Anthropomorphizing the Cosmos is a welcome contribution to the understanding of the earliest Maya and will be significant to Mayanists and Mesoamericanists as well as nonspecialists with interest in these early figurines

“Man is a travelling social animal.” This book has three well-constructed finely crafted stories to offer, all set in Namma Madras which is represented as an enigmatic microcosm of today’s world. The design of this book is predicated on the truism that human progress is the intractable notion of moving forward.The protagonists of the three stories accordingly endure an existential soul-searching journey that is equally physical and metaphorical in nature: a travel from their pasts toward their futures. The first story is a fast-paced love poem about two children who wander the streets of Madras, hopping around like modern day nomads. The second story is high intensity drama, very much on the lines of a courtroom drama, except that here, the action takes place in a police station. The writer community would appreciate the third story,for they may have gone through the much-despised “writer’s block” themselves… A young writer is on the verge of an emotional breakdown on account of his sudden inability to unclog the intricacies of his emotions on paper – how is that not hilarious! As you turn the pages, Vanakam Cosmos is all about the profundity of the ineluctable fledgling worlds of people and undiscovered emotions.
