Genocide in Sudan: Caliphate Threat to Africa and the World

Genocide in Sudan: Caliphate Threat to Africa and the World

Jerome B. Gordon; Deborah P. Martin; Abakar M. Abdallah

Jad Publishing LLC
2017
nidottu
On January 13, 2017, former President Obama issued Executive Order No. 13761 temporarily lifting 20 years of sanctions against the regime of International Criminal Court - indicted President Omar al-Bashir of Sudan. Allegedly, it was because of progress in five tracks involving human rights, counterintelligence about fugitive Joseph Kony of the Lord's Resistance Army and peaceful settlement of Sudan's conflicts with several Sudan resistance groups in Darfur, Nuba Mountains, and the Blue Nile State. The Presidential order left it to incoming President Trump to respond by July 12, 2017 with a determination about permanently lifting the sanctions. President Trump issued a new Executive order on the evening of July 11th deferring that decision until October 31, 2017. Prior to issuing the new executive order all 53 members of the US House of Representatives Foreign Affairs Committee sent a letter to President Trump suggesting, based on the lack of clear evidence indicating that the five tracks are respected, sanctions should be maintained until a new Special Envoy to Sudan and South Sudan would be appointed to investigate representations of progress in Sudan that any decision should be deferred for at least a year. The authors of Sudan Genocide: threatens Africa and the World present a veritable dossier of facts on the ground that constitute a brief in support of the US House of Representatives Foreign Relations Committee recommendation. It details a web of deception by the Bashir Muslim Brotherhood regime reflected in secret documents including a captured plan to complete genocidal ethnic cleansing of indigenous black African peoples by 2020. The Arab Coalition Plan details the strategy of replacing the indigenous population with Arabs the regime brings in from foreign countries. The regime's overall strategy is to recruit 150,000 men drawn from Arab tribes and jihadists from across the Sahel region of Africa and Islamic State fighters from the Middle East. The objective is create a new Caliphate ruled under Sharia Supremacism from Khartoum backed by billions of dollars in weapons and grants from across the Arab League. Further, the authors reveal that Qatar and Sudan have engaged in the overthrow of regimes in neighboring Libya, Chad and the Central African Republic (CAR). The Sudan human toll under Bashir speaks for itself: over 400,000 dead, about 5 million internally displaced and several hundred thousands who have fled to UN refugee camps in Chad, CAR, and elsewhere. This book is must read for all Human Rights advocates, Congressional Committees and the staff of the Trump National Security Council.

Marshal Royal was at the core of the Count Basie Orchestra for 20 years during its resurgence in the 1950s and 1960s. Before that he was a pioneer of jazz on the West Coast of the US, playing with many bands in and around Los Angeles. His memoirs provide a document of the history of jazz on the West Coast and the development of big band jazz. Royal gives a vivid account of his work in Les Hite's band at Sebastian's New Cotton Club, where he worked with many stars including Louis Armstrong and Fats Waller. He became a founder member and "straw boss" of Lionel Hampton's Orchestra after a wartime career in US Navy bands. Leaving Hampton, he made countless recordings as a freelance before joining Basie, where he was responsible for rehearsing the Orchestra, and three chapters offer an insider's view of the latter-day Basie band. After leaving Basie, as well as continuing his prolific recording career Royal became internationally famous as a touring soloist. The book also contains an account of Royal's trumpeter brother Ernie, who starred in the bands of Woody Herman and Stan Kenton.

Awakening to Educational Supervision

Awakening to Educational Supervision

Steve Haberlin; Stephen P. Gordon

BLOOMSBURY PUBLISHING PLC
2023
sidottu
This book introduces mindfulness as an approach for enhancing the supervision of teachers and teacher candidates. Drawing on empirical research and the welcoming of mindfulness in public school classrooms, the author makes the case for embracing mindfulness methods as a way to become more conscious of supervisory practices and “less reactive” and to enhance regularly enacted tasks, such as classroom observations, conference, and foster relationships and developing collegiality. In contrast to traditional models of supervision, the author reframes supervision as a present moment experience in which unlimited possibilities exist. Awakening to Educational Supervision: A Mindfulness-Based Approach to Coaching and Supporting Teachers provides specific techniques and exercises, such as mindfulness breathing and meditation, mindful walking, mindful note-taking, and deep listening, that can be embedded in supervision routines and practices. Additional notions furthering the mindful supervision approach are also addressed, including the role of intuition, mindfulness in relation to ethical and moral action within supervision, and mindfulness as a way to further building community among school stakeholders.

Electric Fuses

Electric Fuses

Nigel Nurse; Arthur Wright; P. Gordon Newbery

INSTITUTION OF ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY
2022
sidottu
Fuses are designed to operate when over-currents, large and small, occur within electrical equipment; they thus interrupt the flow of current, preventing damage. They are needed for various power electric systems, for stationary and automotive applications, as well as power grid components like PV systems and distribution lines. Different types of equipment and voltages require special fuses, and their behaviour must be understood to guarantee correct choice and safe operation. For the 3rd edition in 2004, Wright and Newbery's classic had been revised to include pre-arcing and arcing behaviour, retrofitting of fuses, chip and automotive fuses, and insulated gate bipolar transistor (IGBT) protection. Edition 4 includes updates on standards and new applications. Data, standards descriptions and many illustrations have been revised and updated. Chapters cover pre-arcing and arcing behaviour of cartridge fuselinks, constructions and types of low-and high-voltage fuses as well as miniature, plug and other small fuses, various applications, standards, manufacture, quality assurance and inspection. This reference is indispensable for researchers involved with power electric equipment, grids and motors, and experts engaged in fuse development, design and production.

Preventing Violence in Schools

Preventing Violence in Schools

Routledge Member of the Taylor and Francis Group
2001
sidottu
School violence is a burning issue these days. This book provides an in-depth analysis of violence prevention programs and an assessment of their effectiveness, using data from observations, individual interviews, and focus groups, as well as published data from the schools. It is distinguished by its focus on the cultural and structural context of school violence and violence prevention efforts. Where most other researchers use quantitative measures, such as surveys, to assess the effectiveness of violence prevention programs, the authors of this book use qualitative research and ethnography to study the environment where such programs take place. Thus, this work--one of only a few ethnographic studies of violence prevention programs in schools--links previous quantitative research on the topic and critical ethnography. Preventing Violence in Schools: A Challenge to American Democracy: *includes voices of school students, accused of practicing violence, who have been participants in violence prevention programs; *analyzes a citywide peer mediation program (who benefits and who does not, who is mediated and who mediates, and what the implications of these findings may be); *examines the kinds of violence recognized in schools and the ways schools themselves may perpetuate violence; and *describes a violence prevention program for students at an alternative school.Preventing Violence in Schools: A Challenge to American Democracy is highly relevant for students in courses on urban education, foundations of education, education and social policy, youth and the law, and qualitative research, and for teachers, administrators, and other professionals, such as school psychologists and guidance counselors, at the middle and high school levels.
