This book examines Texas regulations from the Texas Black Codes of 1866, some of the most deceptive regulations in Texas history, to contemporary Texas Child Care Licensing regulations, which perhaps symbolize some of the most audience-friendly contemporary regulations in Texas. The author focuses on the contemporary African-American audience, often categorized as distrustful of government. The book can help public policy students understand the complexities of intercultural communication and negotiation in public policy development and implementation.

Tracey Tea Pot had been born in Parsnip wood. She had been made by the elves that lived in the wood. They had given her magical powers. Dad had brought her to the Patterson house. He had found her one day when out walking with Rusty, the family dog. She loved all the warm smells, all the chattering, laughter, and even tears that sometimes occurred in the old kitchen. The room was the heart of the household. Lately, Alice had been unusually quiet. She was a reserved girl but had been acting quite strangely. Mum had asked her if there was anything worrying her. Miriam had tried to have a sister chat. Even William told her that her big brother would look after her if there were anything wrong. Still, Alice insisted that everything was just perfect. Why is Alice acting different? Let us join Tracey Teapot and the family as they find out what is going on with Alice. Will Tracey Tea Pot save the day?
The purpose of this book is to move our field's discussion beyond issues of diversity in the practice of technical communication, which is certainly important, to include discussions of how race and ethnicity inform the production and distribution of technical communication in the United States. Equally important, this book is an attempt to uncover those communicative practices used to adversely affect historically marginalized groups and identify new practices that can be used to encourage cultural competence within institutions and communities. This book, like our field, is an interdisciplinary effort. While all authors have taught or practiced technical communication, their backgrounds include studies in technical communication, rhetoric and composition, creative writing, and higher education. For the sake of clarity, the book is organized into five sections: historical representations of race and ethnicity in health and science communication; social justice and activism in technical communication; considerations of race and ethnicity in social media; users' right to their own language; and communicating identity across borders, cultures, and disciplines.

Nourishment, A Sustenance JourneyMost people think of nourishment as simply fuel for the body. For the health conscience, that fuel consists of large quantiles of fruits, vegetables, whole grains, and proteins combined with life sustaining water.

It helps the reader explore and expose first and foremost those ideals that are of greatest importance. Philosophical Nourishment feeds the need to ask and answer, to ponder and deliberate, and to expand the mind. Spiritual Nourishment addresses the needs of the soul and the importance of faith.Restorative Nourishment refreshes and renews, reaffirms and redefines.Creative Nourishment provides an avenue for self-exploration and self-examination.Familial Nourishment is the catalyst to relating to those related to us by birth.

To me, fear is a knot buried deep within that at times, swells up and twists your insides until you are unable to think, function, or LIVE This knot of fear sometimes takes your breath away and oftentimes invades your dreams. Fear can actually create a psychological response called "intrusive thinking". This occurs when negative thoughts or thoughts of negative outcomes become so pervasive that they stop a person from truly living. No plans are made for the future, relationships are neglected, and a general "why bother" attitude develops. Bad things can and often do happen to good people. However you cannot succumb to the roadblocks in your life, nor be halted in your tracks . . . unable to move forward Unable to bounce back Unable to survive In this volume, I admonish you to choose to be brave Choose to be strong Choose to be all that you want to be Choose to be all that you can be Knowing that the best way to defeat fear of any kind or in any form is to choose to be happy
Light: The natural agent that stimulates sight and makes things visible; to illuminate.Into the Light focuses on the journey toward recovery. It opens with passages used in several of my books which succinctly describes my rationale behind the rendering. It is a recurring mantra of sorts.Life has a way of putting stumbling blocks in our path when we least expect them. Cancer, other serious illnesses, and even life situations can reduce us to our most basic equation. We are babes anew. Stripped of the trappings of the past. Forced to begin again. Status quo. Rebuilding our bodies, our minds, and our spirit. What you must do when this occurs is to remain encouraged All that was, can and will be again However, an integral part of a successful journey is to acknowledge that change has come into your life. Even though essentially, you are still you, alterations and adjustments are required, and accommodations must be made for a positive outcome. Rather than fight the changes, embrace them, incorporate them, and make them your own. Be as proactive as you can during your experience and share your observations about the experience with others. Learn the lesson within the Chinese proverb: "When the winds of change blow, some people build walls, others build windmills." The winds of change are blowing your way, build a windmill so as not to be blown away by the onslaught of change.
An explosive first-person account by a young woman who spent fifteen years in a sex cult called the Children of God, which encouraged "sacred prostitution" and taught that "The Lord is our pimp."Miriam Williams was an idealistic child of the sixties who, at seventeen, accepted an invitation from a "Jesus person" to visit a commune in upstate New York. She would soon be prostituting herself for a perverse cult that used sex to lure sinners to the Lord -- and this is her shocking, searingly honest account of a fifteen-year spiritual odyssey gone haywire.The Children of God turned its female devotees into Heaven's Harlots, leading strangers to the love of God by enticing them with the pleasures of the flesh. At its height, the cult boasted 19,000 members around the world: In such places as France and Monte Carlo, young women, Miriam among them, mingled with the rich and famous to save their souls, and in this unsparing, unnerving autobiography, she'll identify some of her high-profile "clients." She left this bizarre world in an attempt to protect her son, born through an arranged marriage and kidnapped by his father.Now, in a clear, compelling, cautionary tale, she shares both her extraordinary existence as a holy whore and the daunting experience of rebuilding a normal life -- an ordeal that led her to found a group dedicated to helping other cult survivors reclaim their souls as well.
