Raising My Rainbow

Raising My Rainbow

Lori Duron; Neil Patrick Harris; David Burtka

Broadway Books (A Division of Bantam Doubleday Dell Publishing Group Inc)
2013
pokkari
Raising My Rainbow is Lori Duron's frank, heartfelt, and brutally funny account of her and her family's adventures of distress and happiness raising a gender-creative son. Whereas her older son, Chase, is a Lego-loving, sports-playing boy's boy, Lori's younger son, C.J., would much rather twirl around in a pink sparkly tutu, with a Disney Princess in each hand while singing Lady Gaga's "Paparazzi." C.J. is gender variant or gender nonconforming, whichever you prefer. Whatever the term, Lori has a boy who likes girl stuff--really likes girl stuff. He floats on the gender-variation spectrum from super-macho-masculine on the left all the way to super-girly-feminine on the right. He's not all pink and not all blue. He's a muddled mess or a rainbow creation. Lori and her family choose to see the rainbow. Written in Lori's uniquely witty and warm voice and launched by her incredibly popular blog of the same name, Raising My Rainbow is the unforgettable story of her wonderful family as they navigate the often challenging but never dull privilege of raising a slightly effeminate, possibly gay, totally fabulous son. Now with Extra Libris material, including a reader's guide and bonus content

Strengthening the Connections between Leadership and Learning

Strengthening the Connections between Leadership and Learning

John MacBeath; Neil Dempster; David Frost; Greer Johnson; Sue Swaffield

CRC Press Inc
2018
sidottu
Examining a decade of research and practice, this book makes the case for a radical reappraisal of leadership, learning, and their interrelationship in educational policy. Discussing whether policy direction is progressively constraining the professionalism and initiative of teachers and school leaders, it challenges conventional understanding and argues the case for thinking differently about the way to lead learning.Based on the Leadership for Learning (LfL) Project, the book clarifies, extends, and refines LfL principles and practices, and their contribution to ameliorating some of the difficult conditions encountered in the contemporary educational policy environment. It starts by discussing the direction and influence of current education policy and its subsequent consequences; chapters then move on to explore the framing values informing the LfL Projects, particularly focusing on what they imply for commitments to social justice, children’s rights and breadth in student learning, and considering how to create favourable conditions for learning.Identifying a disconnect between seminal principles and the nature of day-to-day practice, Strengthening the Connections between Leadership and Learning challenges school policy and practice at national and local levels. It is an essential read for postgraduate students, especially those studying leadership in education, as well as for teachers and policymakers in schools.

Victimology

Victimology

Lorraine Wolhuter; Neil Olley; David Denham

CRC Press
2016
sidottu
How should the needs of victims of crime be met by the criminal justice system? Have the rights of victims been neglected in order to ensure that a defendant is brought to 'justice'? Who are the victims of crime and why are they targeted?This new book examines the theoretical arguments concerning victimization before examining who victims actually are and the measures taken by the criminal justice system to enhance their position. Particular attention is paid to the victimization of women, LGBT persons, minority ethnic persons and the elderly. The book engages in a detailed exposition of the law’s response to such victimization, focusing on the measures adopted in international human rights law, by the Council of Europe, and in English law and policy. It also assesses alternative models of victim participation in criminal proceedings in European jurisdictions such as Germany, Sweden and the Netherlands.Adopting an interdisciplinary approach which encompasses law, criminology and social policy, the book is ideal for undergraduates taking an option in victimology, race and crime, or gender and crime, whatever their disciplinary background.

Writing and America

Gavin Cologne-Brookes; Neil Sammells; David Timms

Routledge
2017

Writing and America surveys the writing genres that have contributed to the American notions of America . Essays from scholars from both side of the Atlantic chart the range of responses to American nationhood from colonial times to the present and include dissenting responses from communities such as native American, black and feminist writers. Case studies from writers such as James Fenimore Cooper and William Carlos Williams provide a framework for discussions on topics such as colonial notions of America as the promised land, the discourses of nationhood in the republic, the sense of nationhood in American historiography, and the formation of the American Canon. Draws upon extracts from the American Bills of Rights and the Constitution as examples of different types of writing.

Walking in the Mud

Walking in the Mud

Phil Volker; David S Zucker; Annie O'Neil

Resource Publications (CA)
2022
pokkari
After facing a life-changing cancer diagnosis, Phil Volker started walking a circuitous route around his ten-acre backyard. It was a chance to exercise, which his doctors had encouraged, but also created a sacred space to think and pray. Realizing that he was covering quite a distance, he found a map of the Camino de Santiago pilgrimage route and began to map his progress, calculating that 909 laps would get him from St. Jean Pied-de-Port to the Cathedral of St. James. Volker completed five caminos, five hundred miles each, without leaving his backyard, and many visitors have found healing, solace, and consolation in walking with him. Phil's life was transformed by what he calls his three Cs--Camino, Catholicism, and Cancer. Part spiritual autobiography, part pilgrimage journal, and part Old Farmer's Almanac, this book is the story of his journey.

Model Law Decisions

Model Law Decisions

Henri Alvarez; Neil Kaplan; David W. Rivkin

Kluwer Law International
2003
sidottu
The UNCITRAL Model Law on International Commercial Arbitration has been a great success in harmonizing the law of arbitration around the world. Several dozen countries have either adopted the law or amended their own laws to be in conformity with it. The fact that the law is the same in so many countries allows courts from each country to benefit from the interpretation of the Model Law provisions in many countries. This book, written by distinguished arbitration practitioners, compiles decisions applying the Model Law from most Model Law jurisdictions, and organizes them in order to provide easy reference. The cases are organized by section of the Model law, with the cases applying that section from multiple jurisdictions summarized together. Each summary includes a statement of the holding of the case, a broader summary of the facts and the ruling, and case citations. This compilation will allow arbitration counsel to compare and to readily use rulings under each Model Law section from multiple jurisdictions.Decisions are compiled applying the Model Law from various Model Law jurisdictions and cases are organized by section of the Model Law, with the cases applying to that section from multiple jurisdictions summarized together.

Research Methods in Occupational Epidemiology

Research Methods in Occupational Epidemiology

Harvey Checkoway; Neil E. Pearce; David Kriebel

Oxford University Press Inc
2004
sidottu
This widely used text provides a clear and critical summary of research approaches to the epidemiological study of workplace hazards. It describes the historical development of occupational epidemiology, methods for characterizing occupational exposures, and techniques for designing and implementing epidemiologic studies in this area. The relative strengths and limitations of various study designs for investigating specific health outcomes are emphasized. Also included are more advanced discussions of statistical analysis, exposure and dose modelling, and subsequent applications of data derived from epidemiologic research, as in meta-analysis, pooled analysis, and statistical analysis, exposure and dose modelling, and risk assessment. Since the first edition was published 15 years ago, there have been numerous advances in epidemiologic methods to accommodate a broadened scope of investigations of occupational exposures and associated adverse health outcomes. Thus, in this Second Edition the authors have updated their discussions of methodology to include such topics as case-cohort and case-crossover designs and statistical analysis of repeated measures data, and have expanded the examples they use throughout the book to demonstrate the applications of these methods to a wide range of acute and chronic health outcomes. They have also added a new chapter on occupational health surveillance. Their text is unique for its strong emphasis on the definition and assessment of exposures, the application of quantitative exposure data to epidemiologic models, and the recognition that improvements in workplace risk identification and quantification will come from careful integration of these approaches.

Tumors of the Uterine Corpus and Trophoblastic Diseases

Tumors of the Uterine Corpus and Trophoblastic Diseases

Esther Oliva; David C. Wilbur; Neil J. Sebire; Robert A. Soslow

American Registry of Pathology
2019
sidottu
Since the publication of the Third Series Fascicle of the Uterine Corpus nearly thirty years ago, molecular discoveries have deepened our understanding of epithelial, mesenchymal, and mixed müllerian tumors of the uterus, fueling a new and still evolving classification of the different categories of uterine neoplasms. Enormous insights have been made to refine the classification of the different subtypes of endometrial carcinoma linked to important prognostic and therapeutic implications. At the same time, molecular findings have allowed for the discovery of familial syndromes associated with uterine corpus neoplasms, and identification of patients at increased risk for developing specific tumors, with the subsequent implementation of genetic counseling and appropriate treatment guidelines. Molecular underpinnings have also assisted in the development of new and potentially more predictive morphologic criteria for endometrial preneoplasia, namely the endometrial intraepithelial neoplasia (or EIN) system.In this Uterine Corpus Fascicle, there is an increased emphasis on the cytopathologic (intraoperative, exfoliative, or fine needle aspiration) and molecular features that are important in diagnosis and prognosis. What does not change from the three previous series, however, is the goal of providing the reader with thorough, concise, and up-to-date information on the nomenclature and classification; epidemiologic, clinical, and pathogenetic features; and, most importantly, guidance in the diagnosis of the tumors and tumorlike lesions of all major organ systems and body sites.Order the Tumors of the Uterine Corpus and Trophoblastic Diseases now to take advantage of these new discoveries and techniques for diagnosing and treating these types of tumors.

Do You Look as Good as You Feel? If you don't, perhaps it's because you're noticing common signs of aging—sagging of the skin on your neck, cheeks, or eyelids. If these outward signs are affecting the way you feel inside, perhaps you're considering taking action through cosmetic surgery. You're thinking maybe a facelift would rejuvenate your appearance. Yet, you're not sure what's involved or whether cosmetic surgery is right for you. This book can help you explore the possibilities. The authors are board-certified facial plastic surgeons and have performed thousands of facelifts and other cosmetic procedures. They understand that the decision to have cosmetic surgery is a very personal and important one. In Your Complete Guide to Facelifts, they present the facts about facial cosmetic surgery clearly and concisely, and answer such questions as: • Am I a candidate for a facelift? • What type of facelift would give me the best result? • Should I consider other procedures such as an eyelid lift? • How soon can I go out in public after a facelift? • Will I have post-surgical pain? • How long will the results last? This book contains 75 color illustrations and photos, including dozens of photos of "before and after" pictures of those who’ve had facelifts, eyelid lifts, brow lifts, and skin rejuvenation. A resource section, glossary, and index are also included.

Police and Community in Twentieth-Century Scotland

Police and Community in Twentieth-Century Scotland

Louise A. Jackson; Neil Davidson; Linda Fleming; David M. Smale; Richard Sparks

EDINBURGH UNIVERSITY PRESS
2022
nidottu
This book examines the relationships forged between police officers and the diverse urban and rural communities in which they have lived and worked in Scotland across the twentieth century, demonstrating patterns that were diverse and variegated. It considers both the formal rhetoric (and sets of structures) that defined and prescribed the policing ideal as well as the experience of policing from a range of grassroots' perspectives. Drawing on a wealth of archival materials, oral history interviews, and memoirs, as well as previously unused primary sources, the author identifies and explains the factors that led to not only co-operation, consensus and the building of trust, but also points of tension and conflict across a century of social, political and technological change.
