Download or read book Settler s Prairie written by Robert Connerly and published by AuthorHouse. This book was released on 2002-10 with total page 229 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 'An adventure beyond social mobility' portrays the importance of human resource development as a life pursuit. One objective is to document for my family information about my roots, educational struggles, and my adult life. The account, a legacy to my family and Africa, sends a message to other children born into similar socio-economic and cultural environment that hard work ultimately yields dividends. Another objective is to share with scholars interested in African development efforts by the international community to foster such development focusing on the population sector. The contribution under reference is not limited to personal publications; it also includes the recommendations from conferences, meetings, seminars, studies, symposia, and workshops organized under varying auspices of the international community. A final objective is to highlight key factors accounting for my social mobility in relation to those reported in social science literature. In terms of content, chapter one outlines the way of life of people in my village, their survival strategies, their traditional beliefs and religion, and cultural background as aspects of "my roots". Chapter two discusses my educational training experiences. The focus of chapter three is the re-entry problems that I encountered on returning to Nigeria from studies overseas and my initial contribution to African population and development literature. Chapter four highlights the evolution of the United Nations Economic Commission for Africa (ECA) and the development of African regional population program within the framework of the African census program. The next three chapters (five-seven) capture details of the main activities within the region in the course of my working for the ECA. While chapter eight outlines factors that have facilitated my upward mobility and relates the latter to those generally reported in social science literature as influencing social mobility, chapter nine focusses on my ongoing retirement.

Download or read book Native Recognition written by Joanna Hearne and published by SUNY Press. This book was released on 2012-12-30 with total page 430 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Offers a new interpretation of the century-long relationship between the Western film genre and Native American filmmaking. In Native Recognition, Joanna Hearne persuasively argues for the central role of Indigenous image-making in the history of American cinema. Across the twentieth and into the twenty-first centuries, Indigenous peoples have been involved in cinema as performers, directors, writers, consultants, crews, and audiences, yet both the specificity and range of this Native participation have often been obscured by the on-screen, larger-than-life images of Indians in the Western. Not only have Indigenous images mattered to the Western, but Westerns have also mattered to Indigenous filmmakers as they subvert mass culture images of supposedly “vanishing” Indians, repurposing the commodity forms of Hollywood films to envision Native intergenerational continuity. Through their interventions in forms of seeing and being seen in public culture, Native filmmakers have effectively marshaled the power of visual media to take part in national discussions of social justice and political sovereignty for North American Indigenous peoples. Native Recognition brings together a wide range of little-known productions, from the silent films of James Young Deer, to recovered prints of the 1928 Ramona and the 1972 House Made of Dawn, to the experimental and feature films of Victor Masayesva and Chris Eyre. Using international archival research and close visual analysis, Hearne expands our understanding of the complexity of Native presence in cinema both on screen and through the circuits of film production and consumption. “This will be a major work for ethnic studies professionals, and people wanting a better understanding of how mass media impacts culture. Joanna Hearne does an excellent job weaving a tapestry across time, from the early days of film, to more modern looks at film making.” — Portland Book Review “The first section stands out because of its rich content and insightful analysis. Here, Hearne culls a laudably wide range of archival materials from which she assembles an original work on the genesis of indigenous representation in the earliest American films. The final section of the book is a brilliant juxtaposition to the first, as the contemporary films present not a climax but rather a beginning of a new era that is still evolving. Academics will appreciate the historical insights that place the films within their proper contexts. General readers will be drawn in by the compelling nature of the work, which also includes a large number of movie stills.” — CHOICE “With countless black and white photography all spread throughout, Native Recognition is a vital addition to any community or college library collection focusing on filmmaking or Native American issues, highly recommended.” — Midwest Book Review

Download or read book Baby Settler written by Hillary Sadler (Lactation Consultant) and published by . This book was released on 2021 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Here's the truth. If you don't understand how feeding affects your baby's sleep, and how sleep affects your baby's feeding, you will find that you feel overwhelmed, frustrated, and lack confidence in your ability to know exactly what your baby needs. This is especially true for breastfeeding mothers. Almost every breastfeeding mom I've met asks themselves one of these questions... Is my baby getting enough? If I bottle feed, will my baby sleep longer? I want to breastfeed, but will my baby still sleep through the night if I do? Hear this: You can breastfeed and have your baby sleep through the night. Understanding how breastfeeding and "schedules" relate to each other is the key to getting your baby to extend her nighttime sleep. I'm Hillary, the mama behind Baby Settler. I'm also a Registered Nurse and an International Board Certified Lactation Consultant who has devoted my career to helping mothers and babies. As a mom of three, I know the sleep-feed struggle is real. There is an abundance of information at our fingertips thanks to the internet, but many times the advice given is conflicting and one-sided. This can lead parents to feel like they must be doing something wrong because their baby isn't following the book they've read or the recommended schedule they've found. After spending over 10,000 hours working with breastfeeding mothers, I've combined my professional experience, personal experience, and the current evidence-based research to explain the "why" behind my recommendations for getting your baby (and you) sleep. It's my mission to help parents feel confident knowing what their baby needs, be able to establish a daily routine, navigate feedings whether breast or bottle, and get quality uninterrupted sleep! When you don't understand the relationship between feeding and sleep, you might feel overwhelmed, frustrated, and even angry that your baby is in an endless cycle of ineffective feedings and interrupted sleep. And you might start to feel guilt or anxiety because you find you're not enjoying this season of life. It doesn't have to be this way. You can avoid [or break out of ] this cycle and feel confident knowing what your baby needs! This book will give you the tools you need to navigate feedings confidently, have a routine you can plan your day around, and have a baby that sleeps "like a baby" at night! You can thrive in this season! You've got this!"

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Few doubt the pro-Israel bias of the Western media. It takes the form of overtly supporting Israel's government policies, or of maintaining neutrality or silence on issues of Israeli violence, occupation, and settlement expansion. Scholar and activist Karma R. Chávez collects eleven interviews that allow dissenting voices a forum to provide rarely heard perspectives on the Palestinian struggle for justice, land, and self-determination.This volume in the Common Threads series is a supplement to the Journal of Civil and Human Rights. The conversations within took place on a radio program Chávez hosted from 2013-16. There, journalists, activists, academic figures, authors, and Palestinian citizens of Israel shared a wide range of thoughts and experiences. Participants covered topics that include: everyday life for Palestinians in the West Bank and in Israel; the Boycott, Divestment, Sanctions (BDS) movement that arose in response to Israel's ongoing actions; the Steven Salaita controversy at the University of Illinois; the pro-Palestine social movement on college campuses; Israel's pinkwashing of human rights abuses; the aftermath of the 2014 attack on Gaza; and Chávez's 2015 visit to the West Bank.

Book excerpt: It is the year 1845, and under the hot Texas sun, my family is heading west to our new home in a blossoming town known as Settler’s Point. Here, my father says, we will build our lives anew, and hope to leave the last few tragic years behind. Not long after our arrival, it becomes apparent that something is wrong. The town drunk claims to have seen a wolf “larger than ever,” and animals are appearing slaughtered outside our homes. It’ll take only one rainy night, and a chance sighting, for me to believe that a supernatural beast stalks the lands beyond Settler’s Point. It is only when tragedy strikes a second time, and claims one of our own, that we realize that something needs to be done. But with the townspeople scared, and my father away on military business, it will be up to me, and my friends, to make things right. It will be up to us to kill the beast of Settler’s Point.
