Similarity detection method of science fiction painting based on multi-strategy improved sparrow search algorithm and Gaussian pyramid
Although image detection technology is widely used in various fields, there is still a large gap in the similarity detection of science fiction painting. Therefore, a similarity detection method for science fiction painting is proposed. Firstly, a k-layer pyramid image is created for the source image to be detected and the template image. Then, multi-strategy improved sparrow algorithm (MISSA) is used to perform rough matching in the top subgraph of the source image to obtain the coordinates of the initial matching target, the location transferred from the layer above each layer is the starting point of search, and pixel by pixel matching is carried out within the set window range. Finally, pHash is used as the similarity measure to calculate the similarity of matching results. The hybrid search strategy based on step function, multi-stage dynamic control of safety threshold, and food search strategy based on Logistic model are used to improve sparrow search algorithm, thereby forming MISSA to improve the accuracy and real-time performance in the matching process. In terms of performance verification of MISSA, the rationality and effectiveness of the three improved strategies are verified by ablation experiment, and the experimental results on CEC2017 benchmark function show that the optimization performance and convergence performance of MISSA are better than that of peer algorithms. The comparison results in the similarity detection experiment of science fiction painting fully verify that the proposed detection method has strong robustness in meeting the requirements of real-time and accuracy of matching.

“I Am Nobody”: The Haiku of Richard Wright
When Richard Wright's typescript Haiku: This Other World was first published in 1998, it seemed logical to expect a fair amount of critical attention to be focused on the volume. After all, the dramatic shift that Wright makes from writer of realistic and naturalistic fiction to haikuist is so unusual that it seems to beg for explication. Iadonisi discusses Wright's haiku, I Am Nobody.

Little Brown Birds
There were two gates when I first drove up. A wildlife biologist at the refuge had directed me to where a bird had been seen down a small path, just two ruts indented into the prairie. I didn’t see anything at the first gate, but the second led up a slight incline to a chain-link fence. She’d instructed me not to block the gate in case maintenance trucks needed to enter, so I pulled off far to the side.
The morning was chilly for early June. I grabbed my jacket and loaded it up with a granola bar, a small

The Estrangement of Emilio Sandoz, S.J
The mere mention of the Society of Jesus, the Jesuit order, evokes strong responses, both positive and negative, among those who know the name. Even the Oxford English Dictionary, based on popular usage, gives “a dissembling person; a prevaricator” as one definition of “Jesuit.” These ambiguous feelings are not confined to members of the Roman Catholic faith, to whom the Jesuits belong. Though the order was formally suppressed by Pope Clement XIV in 1773 (and later restored by Pope Pius VII in 1814), until recently their bitterest rivals were the Protestant sects like the Calvinists and Lutherans, whose theology and
