Book excerpt: The International Socioeconomics Laboratory™ (ISL) is a global research network of primarily students and young adults that strive to find the most adequate solutions to current socio-economic problems and those that may be just around the corner. We make use of existing records and data to create our own comprehensive models and studies to find plausible routes to the root cause of these problems and see what can be done about them or what knowledge can be acquired. However, our information collection is not limited to what is already in sight; though it may be more difficult given the unprecedented times, we also look to collect information and data through surveys and soon, types of experiments as well. The goal of the ISL is clear; assess and address the issues that face our society through the will and capability of the youth in order to foster a greater one. The work done in the ISL serves as the foundation for the work done by its sister organizations Finxspire and Finxerunt. We plan on having our research be used by Finxerunt to create real political policy that will address the shortcomings that stem from society and its current state. Our research will also be implemented by the committees within the ISL to serve as the basis for its campaigns, podcasts, and films. Both organizations share a common goal in giving their best efforts to bring about positive change in the world. The ISL will be the first and largest of its kind. This spring, the ISL looks to accept over 500+ applicants and aim for a long term goal of over 1000. Through our work, we can bring these students and young adults various benefits ranging from volunteer hours to PVSA awards signed by the President of the United States themself. As many struggle from the implications of the global pandemic, the ISL will serve as an incentive for them to move forward and look towards a brighter future. The ISL serves as an important venue for the youth; the youth are highly capable and intelligent; many of them are cognizant or can identify if their societies are headed in the wrong direction. However, as it stands, it is difficult for the youth to have a say, for they are often overlooked and shadowed. The ISL looks to change that however. The ISL will allow for the youth to have their voices and ideas heard; through us, the youth can look to envision the very change they believe would be necessary to implement or consider. Part of the future of their respective societies starts with the youth, and the future starts with the ISL. Every research paper here has been written by our Fall Staffers from our fall Finxerunt Research programs. For more information please go to www.finxerunt.org or www.socioeconlabs.org.

Book excerpt: ‘KUMBA AFRICA’, is a compilation of African Short Stories written as fiction by Sampson Ejike Odum, nostalgically taking our memory back several thousands of years ago in Africa, reminding us about our past heritage. It digs deep into the traditional life style of the Africans of old, their beliefs, their leadership, their courage, their culture, their wars, their defeat and their victories long before the emergence of the white man on the soil of Africa. As a talented writer of rich resource and superior creativity, armed with in-depth knowledge of different cultures and traditions in Africa, the Author throws light on the rich cultural heritage of the people of Africa when civilization was yet unknown to the people. The book reminds the readers that the Africans of old kept their pride and still enjoyed their own lives. They celebrated victories when wars were won, enjoyed their New yam festivals and villages engaged themselves in seasonal wrestling contest etc; Early morning during harmattan season, they gathered firewood and made fire inside their small huts to hit up their bodies from the chilling cold of the harmattan. That was the Africa of old we will always remember. In Africa today, the story have changed. The people now enjoy civilized cultures made possible by the influence of the white man through his scientific and technological process. Yet there are some uncivilized places in Africa whose people haven’t tested or felt the impact of civilization. These people still maintain their ancient traditions and culture. In everything, we believe that days when people paraded barefooted in Africa to the swarmp to tap palm wine and fetch firewood from there farms are almost fading away. The huts are now gradually been replaced with houses built of blocks and beautiful roofs. Thanks to modern civilization. Donkeys and camels are no longer used for carrying heavy loads for merchants. They are now been replaced by heavy trucks and lorries. African traditional methods of healing are now been substituted by hospitals. In all these, I will always love and remember Africa, the home of my birth and must respect her cultures and traditions as an AFRICAN AUTHOR.

Download or read book Becoming Myself written by Stasi Eldredge and published by David C Cook. This book was released on 2013-08-01 with total page 260 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: God has dreams—just for you Becoming Myself is a hope-filled book for anyone who wonders if her life will ever change—if she will ever change.In Stasi Eldredge’s most intimate book yet, she shares her own struggles with self-worth, weight, and her past as she shows readers how God is faithfully unveiling who we truly are. Stasi urges you to lay down your past thoughts about yourself and receive God’s incredible dreams for you instead. We cannot heal ourselves. We cannot become ourselves by ourselves. But we are not by ourselves. The King of love wants to help us become. God desires to restore us—the real us. As he heals our inner life, he calls us to rise to the occasion of our lives. The most important journey any woman can take is the journey into becoming her true self through the love of God. It's a beautiful paradox. The more of God’s you become, the more yourself you become—the “self” he had in mind when he thought of you before the creation of the world. Discover your truest self—the woman God created you to be—in Becoming Myself.
