Controls and Choices : The Educational Marketplace and the Failure of School Desegregation By III Carl L. Bankston; Stephen J. Caldas
2015 | 162 Pages | ISBN: 1475814690 | EPUB | 1 MB
Many activists and writers have ascribed continuing racial segregation in American schools to a failure of will. In this view, forced transfers of students and other aggressive judicially mandated policies would lead to greater equality in education if only legislators and judges had the will to continue trying to make school districts conform to plans for redesigning schools and even American society. Controls and Choices: The Educational Marketplace and the Failure of School Desegregation provides a detailed examination of the nature of the educational marketplace, supported by historical evidence, to argue that school desegregation failed because it involved monopolistic efforts at redistributing opportunities. These efforts were fundamentally at odds with the self-interest of the families who had the greatest ability to make choices in the educational marketplace. The authors use the concept of the educational marketplace to explain how market-based attempts at school reform, notably vouchers and charter schools, have grown out of the failure of desegregation and remain hampered by lack of recognition of how the schools really function as markets. Some additional key features of this book include: Gives a clear understanding of how schools function as markets Illustrates the argument with histories of specific school districts Links the history of school desegregation to school vouchers and charter schools Includes easy to read and interpret graphs and figures Includes most up-to-date school population and census information

Controversial Chiefs in Colonial Kenya : The Untold Story of Senior Chief Waruhiu Wa Kung'u, 1890-1952 By Evanson N. Wamagatta
2016 | 207 Pages | ISBN: 1498521479 | EPUB | 1 MB
Senior Chief Waruhiu wa Kung'u is one of colonial Kenya's most controversial chiefs. His name has gone down in history as a traitor who was assassinated because he sold his country to the British colonizers. This book is the untold story of the controversial life of Senior Chief Waruhiu who served the colonial government for thirty years. He believed his white superiors' authority was God-given and to disobey them was tantamount to disobeying God himself. That was why he was considered loyal, obedient, dependable, responsible, efficient, and a tower of strength. Chief Waruhiu's violent death dealt his reputation a devastating blow, as it provided his critics with a basis to portray him as a traitor who sold out to the colonizers. Although Waruhiu believed that the Africans were not yet ready for self-government-and that they could not attain it through violence-that did not make him a traitor. Other chiefs also believed that and yet were not labeled as traitors. However, this did lead to him being considered a very pro-government and pro-European chief who was opposed to the aspirations of his people and he, as a result, deserved to be killed. Although it is believed that Waruhiu was killed by Mau Mau, there is no evidence to support that claim. The white settler community gained a lot from Waruhiu's murder as it paved the way for it to get what it had been demanding for a long time-a declaration of a state of emergency and the arrest and detention of African leaders. It is very likely that some leaders of the white settlers, working together with government officials, were probably behind Waruhiu's murder. The police, the prosecution, and the court seemed determined to make the murder charges against the accused suspects stick in spite of glaring discrepancies and contradictions in the evidence against them. Above all, the prosecution failed to prove beyond any reasonable doubts that Waweru and Gathuku killed Waruhiu. Thus, the mystery of who killed Waruhiu and those behind his murder still remains unresolved and the perpetrators of the murder may never be known.

Convexity from the Geometric Point of View (Cornerstones) by Vitor Balestro, Horst Martini, Ralph Teixeira
English | July 15, 2024 | ISBN: 3031505069 | 1203 pages | MOBI | 200 Mb
This text gives a comprehensive introduction to the "common core" of convex geometry. Basic concepts and tools which are present in all branches of that field are presented with a highly didactic approach. Mainly directed to graduate and advanced undergraduates, the book is self-contained in such a way that it can be read by anyone who has standard undergraduate knowledge of analysis and of linear algebra. Additionally, it can be used as a single reference for a complete introduction to convex geometry, and the content coverage is sufficiently broad that the reader may gain a glimpse of the entire breadth of the field and various subfields. The book is suitable as a primary text for courses in convex geometry and also in discrete geometry (including polytopes). It is also appropriate for survey type courses in Banach space theory, convex analysis, differential geometry, and applications of measure theory. Solutions to all exercises are available to instructors who adopt the text for coursework.

Most chapters use the same structure with the first part presenting theory and the next containing a healthy range of exercises. Some of the exercises may even be considered as short introductions to ideas which are not covered in the theory portion. Each chapter has a notes section offering a rich narrative to accompany the theory, illuminating the development of ideas, and providing overviews to the literature concerning the covered topics. In most cases, these notes bring the reader to the research front. The text includes many figures that illustrate concepts and some parts of the proofs, enabling the reader to have a better understanding of the geometric meaning of the ideas. An appendix containing basic (and geometric) measure theory collects useful information for convex geometers.

Cosmopolitanism : Between Ideals and Reality By Lorena Cebolla Sanahuja; Francesco Ghia
2015 | 185 Pages | ISBN: 1443883700 | PDF | 1 MB
Cosmopolitanism is the idea of humanity as a single community or polis. Beyond particularities, all human beings (and in some versions of cosmopolitanism certain non-humans) are part of a community, and have responsibilities, rights and the power to decide on a common future. Ideas of cosmopolitan vary from the purely moral to cultural, social, legal, institutional, political, educational and economic cosmopolitanism, or combine some or all of these facets. All of these different perspectives try to establish the basis necessary to create a true cosmopolitanism. This book provides an introduction to the ideality and reality of cosmopolitanism, presenting it "in genesis" and giving a point of departure to students and readers of cosmopolitanism from which to analyse its various contemporary versions and proposals, providing an additional tool for their thinking and judgments in the face of a huge amount of literature today. It also offers a sense of emergency to those matters, requiring a prompt legal, political and economic response, for the continuing existence of the planet and for cosmopolitanism to continue as a viable proposal for humanity. As such, this volume will, ultimately, provoke the reader into a new spirit and action, that of cosmopolitanism.

Cosmopolitanism and Place By José M. Medina; Robert E. Innis; John J. Stuhr; Jessica Wahman; Vincent M. Colapietro; Josep E. Corbi; Megan Craig; Jeffrey Edmonds; Cynthia Gayman; Jennifer Hansen
2017 | 330 Pages | ISBN: 0253029392 | EPUB | 1 MB
Addressing perspectives about who "we" are, the importance of place and home, and the many differences that still separate individuals, this volume reimagines cosmopolitanism in light of our differences, including the different places we all inhabit and the many places where we do not feel at home. Beginning with the two-part recognition that the world is a smaller place and that it is indeed many worlds, Cosmopolitanism and Place critically explores what it means to assert that all people are citizens of the world, everywhere in the world, as well as persons bounded by a universal and shared morality.

Couldn't Prove, Had to Promise By Wyatt Prunty
2015 | 75 Pages | ISBN: 1421417146 | PDF | 1 MB
In his ninth collection of poems, Wyatt Prunty explores the comic and lyric intersection of the realms of childhood and middle age. In Couldn't Prove, Had to Promise, Wyatt Prunty ushers readers into a seesaw world, one that teeters between small fables of childish misgivings and adult assurances. Alternately shadowed and illuminated by nostalgia, this deft, witty volume brings together seventeen of Prunty's recent poems, seven of which have been previously published in Poetry, the Hopkins Review, the Kenyon Review, and Blackbird. In "Crescent Theater, Schenectady, NY," a silent-movie accompanist reads his foreign newspaper after work as he listens, ever the outsider, "to his children using English / For everything they wish." In "Rules," a small girl, told she can't go to the school nurse "every time some bad thing happens," plaintively wonders, "Where do you go?" And in "Making Frankenstein," a boy who has cajoled his parents into letting him see The Curse of Frankensteinwakes to a nightmare. His father bans horror films as "too anatomical"; "What's anatomical?" the boy wonders. Given a book that catalogs diseases, the worst of which come "from intimate contact," he is horrified by his father's explanation of grownup intimacy: "That's how you made your way into this world." Moving from a wry portrait of a husband--musing on mortality--whose Christmas tie lands in the gravy, to "Reading the Map," which grapples with the cartography of love, to "ad lib," a farewell that redefines farewell, these poems burnish the small triumphs and fears that fill our daily lives with humor and pathos. The book closes with a long, four-part poem, "Nod," which transports readers to a parking lot in July: an asphalt-as-inferno where Cain the cracker, or adversary-as-initiator, the pleuritic voice of disappointment, names the ways inversion makes a lie reliable and works people best as, like a joke or discount price, "It makes you feel you're getting more by giving less." Funny, raw, and colorfully musical, "Nod" plays what teeters, like a tuning fork.

Counter-Terrorism and Beyond : The Culture of Law and Justice After 9/11 By Andrew Lynch; Nicola McGarrity; George Williams
2010 | 256 Pages | ISBN: 0415571758 | EPUB | 1 MB
This book considers the increasing trend towards a 'culture of control' in democratic countries. The post-9/11 counter-terrorism laws in nations such as the USA, the UK, Canada and Australia provide a stark demonstration of this trend. These laws share a focus on the pre-emption of crime, restrictions on the right to liberty of non-suspects, limited public access to information, and increased community surveillance. The laws derogate, in many respects, from the ordinary principles of the criminal justice system and fundamental human rights while also harnessing public institutions in the broader project of prevention and control. Distinctively, the contributors to this volume focus on the impact of these laws outside of the counter-terrorism context. The book draws together a range of experts in both public and criminal law, from Australia and overseas, to examine the effect of counter-terrorism laws on public institutions within democracies more broadly. Issues considered include changes to the role and functions of the courts, the expansion of executive discretion, the seepage of extraordinary powers and pre-emptive measures into other areas of the criminal law, and the interaction and overlap between intelligence and law enforcement agencies. Counter-Terrorism and Beyond: The Culture of Law and Justice After 9/11 will be of interest to students and scholars of criminal law, criminology, comparative criminal justice, terrorism and national security, public law, human rights, governance and public policy.

Counting on Communication : The Uganda Nutrition and Early Childhood Development Project By Cecilia Cabañero-Verzosa
2005 | 56 Pages | ISBN: 0821362682 | PDF | 1 MB
The Uganda Nutrition and Early Childhood Development Project was one of the World Bank’s first projects to demonstrate the value-added of strategic communication. The strategic communication component developed for this project included the use of formative research about values and attitudes with respect to child rearing, in order to develop and test effective messages. The communication strategy was developed in a highly participatory manner and included nurturing a team of champions for the project among policymakers, district officials, community leaders, and grassroots organizations to advocate for the project. It also included two-way communication activities developed to address the practices and behaviors that would need to be changed in order for the project to be successful, rather than merely disseminating messages based on assumptions of project benefits. This publication is the first in a series of Working Papers sponsored by the Development Communication Division (DevComm) of the World Bank’s External Affairs Vice-Presidency. This series is designed to share innovations and lessons learned in the application of strategic communication in development projects. Together with other donors, NGOs, and private sector partners, DevComm seeks to mainstream the discipline of development communication in development practice.

Courage and Hope : Stories from Teachers Living with HIV in Sub-Saharan Africa By Donald Bundy; David Aduda; Alice Woolnough; Lesley Drake; Stella Manda
2009 | 87 Pages | ISBN: 0821379798 | EPUB | 1 MB
Courage and Hope gives voice to the real life experiences of 12 HIV-positive teachers, five of whom are women, from Burkina Faso, Cameroon, Ghana, Kenya, Mozambique, Rwanda, Senegal, Tanzania (both Mainland and Zanzibar) and Zambia. The teachers recount their experiences of discovering their HIV-positive status and how this has affected them in their families, their communities, and their professional lives. Their stories are documented by journalists, emphasizing the human dimension. The voices of these teachers suggest that a number of obstacles are commonly faced by teachers living with HIV. Paramount among them are stigma and discrimination, both within their families and communities as well as their workplaces and in society more generally. The difficulties of overcoming stigma and discrimination are further exacerbated by a failure to ensure confidentiality in the workplace.

Cracking the Matrix: 14 Keys to Individual & Global Freedom by Cate Montana
English | March 26, 2023 | ISBN: N/A | ASIN: B0BZS6H6FF | 312 pages | EPUB | 1.80 Mb
Our world is in the grip of a powerful, intelligent, interdimensional influence that has been involved in the deliberate programming and degeneration of humanity for thousands of years. Priests and shamans, philosophers and mystics of every culture in the world have described this hostile, inhuman Presence and named it. For the ancient Greeks it was the Archons-the Powerful Evil Ones. In Christian literature it's Beelzebub, the devil, and Satan. For the Hebrews it's Abaddon. In Islam it's Iblis or AshShaytān. To Native Americans it's wetiko and windingo. To the Hawaiian kahunas it's e'epa.

Swiss psychiatrist Carl Jung called this deceiving force "antimimos, the imitator and evil principle" and equated it with the Antichrist. The Russian mystic philosopher George Gurdjieff called it "the machine." Sri Aurobindo, an Indian philosopher and guru, termed it the Hostile Forces. Hollywood portrays these entities as physical vampires. Modern-day philosophers and science fiction writers often refer to this Presence as the mind parasites.
Despite world-wide recognition of the reality of this insidious "other," humanity has not yet caught on to the Archons' presence. Why? Because over the millennia these advanced yet soulless beings have created a thought matrix of lies-a false reality for us to live in that keeps us fundamentally blind to their presence and cooperative with their ultimate agenda.
Cracking the Matrix: 14 Keys to individual & Global Freedom explores the nature and presence of what humanity has (erroneously) labeled "evil" on this planet, helping people finally see this non-physical interdimensional Force, understand its agenda, and recognize its blatant presence behind current global events. Most importantly, the book outlines how to break free of this Force's controlling influences, coaching the reader to stand up in their true spiritual nature, aligned with life/love, ready to create The New Earth that has always been prophesied.

Crafting Clean Code with JavaScript and React: A Practical Guide to Sustainable Front-End Development by Héla Ben Khalfallah
English | November 21, 2024 | ISBN: 8868810034 | 460 pages | MOBI | 8.29 Mb
Understand the guiding principles of "clean code" and how it applies to modern front-end development, accessibility (a11y), semantics, performance, and the Green Web. Highlighting key topics ranging from the foundations of JavaScript and HTML to popular frameworks like React, this book provides best practices to ensure code and applications are easier, more efficient and cost effective to run.

Using a web-based application as an example, you'll begin by cleaning and improving its code base by dividing the JavaScript into smaller, reusable and composable functions without side effects. Then, you'll improve the HTML code base by applying "Disability Driven Design" patterns, focusing on semantics before moving on to improving the architecture with a functional style (immutable, modular and composable).
Because the web today needs to be green with reduced loading time and energy consumption, you'll apply some tips and tricks to improve code performance and see how to best monitor it in a continuous and scalable way.
What You'll LearnSee how the JavaScript engine works and memory management.Explore in greater detail key focus areas of accessibility and green computingMake applications easier and more cost-effective to runLook closely at clean and sustainable development using JavaScript and ReactWho This Book Is For
Programmers, developers, engineers and product managers who are looking at cost-efficient ways to make their applications run more smoothly and efficiently.

Creating Knowledge, Strengthening Nations : The Changing Role of Higher Education By Glen Jones; Patricia McCarney; Michael Skolnik
2005 | 317 Pages | ISBN: 1442613084 | PDF | 1 MB
Globalizations effects on universities have been little examined. Creating Knowledge, Strengthening Nations seeks to improve understanding by deepening the analysis of how universities contribute to economic growth and entrepreneurialism while also contributing to strategic societal goals of equity and redistributive justice. Editors Glen A. Jones, Patricia L. McCarney, and Michael L. Skolnik have brought together a diverse group of contributors to describe how internal and external forces arising from globalization are exerting pressure to change the role of higher education in society and how universities are dealing with these pressures.The essays pay particular attention to tensions associated with attempts to balance the economic with the non-economic objectives of higher education, and between those who celebrate the entrepreneurial university versus those who lament the new alignment between the university and the business community as undermining the civic responsibility of the university and its freedom of speech and critical inquiry. Creating Knowledge, Strengthening Nations is a crucial addition to the debate on the future of higher education.
