“A brilliant page turner…rich with drama and historical detail.” —Glamour (UK) A beautiful and epic novel that spans nearly a hundred years, The Thread is a magnificent story of a friendship and a love that endures through the catastrophes and upheavals of the twentieth century—both natural and man-made—in the turbulent city of Thessaloniki, Greece. Victoria Hislop, internationally bestselling author of The Island and The Return, has written a wonderfully evocative and enthralling saga enriched by deep emotion and sweeping historical events, from fire to civil war to Nazi brutality and economic collapse.

“.....we have THIRTEEN individual Governments in Australia to manage a population of 22 million. By world standards that’s gross , bizarre, and costs a fortune in bureaucratic duplication and total corporate frustration.....” “.....it is totally wrong that if a Magistrate is in a bad mood, for whatever reason, on sentencing poor Fred the thief, he decrees a five year goal term instead of a Bond – all because of his/her mood at that time” “.....Banks and the greed of their senior management caused the recent GFC. No one argues with that. Yet we still pamper the bastards wirh exorbitant bonuses and .......” “.....the Monarchy. You guessed it. Get rid of the lot: The Royals, the seven Governors’ General and all those hangers-on. Immediately. Let’s be our own Nation like Canada and all the other countries that used to form the Commonwealth - once and for all. ” “.....in 2011 Australia gave Afghanistan humanitarian aid of $123,000,000 whilst we continued to bomb their villages, rape their women and destroy their culture. That’s the same as giving cash to Hitler during WW2”. “.....and which political idiot determined that the time in South Australia would be one half hour behind the other Eastern States? A half hour for heaven’s sake – the World must wonder at our stupidity and naivety”.

Part memoir, part faith journey-these stories in You Are the Needle and I Am the Thread span twenty-five years of a Foreign Service family's life as they live and work in Pakistan, Egypt, Bangladesh, and Indonesia, as well as Washington, DC. They detail the joys and challenges of raising children overseas, the fears preceding the outbreak of the Gulf War and evacuation, and the frustrations of separation when Pamela's husband is sent to Afghanistan. You Are the Needle and I Am the Thread chronicles Pamela and her husband's journey as they seek to follow God's will, from their early decision to join the United States Agency for International Development to retirement and beyond. The stories, many of which were published in The Foreign Service Journal, recount the serendipity of life in the developing world. Walk in the footsteps of Moses, Alexander the Great, and Genghis Khan; explore bazaars like the Khan el Khalili in Cairo; trail tigers in the Sundarbans in Bangladesh; and stumble over cultural pitfalls while interacting with the locals and conducting business where life is anything but normal. Experience the heartbreak of end-of-life issues with elderly parents and the anguish of their sons' medical emergencies. Discover, like Pamela, that home is where the United States Government sends you.

Abstract state machines (ASM) sharpen the Church-Turing thesis by the c- sideration of bounded resources for computing devices. They view computations as an evolution of a state. It has been shown that all known models of com- tation can be expressed through speci?c abstract state machines. These models can be given in a representation-independent way. That is one advantage of transferring these models to ASM. The main advantage is, however, to provide a unifying theory to all of these models. At the same time ASM can be re?ned to other ASMs. Stepwise re?nement supports separation of concern during so- ware development and will support component-based construction of systems thus providing a foundation of new computational paradigms such as industrial programming, programming-in-the-large, and programming-in-the-world. ASM 2004 continued the success story of the ASM workshops. Previous workshops were held in the following European cities: Taormina, Italy (2003); Dagstuhl, Germany (2002); Las Palmas de Gran Canaria, Spain (2001); Monte Verita, Switherland (2000); Toulouse, France (1999); Magdeburg, Germany (1998); Cannes, France (1998, 1997); Paderborn, Germany (1996); and H- burg, Germany (1994). The ASM workshops have had predecessors, e.g., the famous Lipari Summer School in 1993, whose in?uential outcome was the f- damental Lipari Guide.
