Book excerpt: Called into the ministry at an early age, Iona E. Locke, D.D., Th.D., though gifted, anointed and with an obvious love for the Lord, suffered at the hands of men who would teach, preach and practice that even women with her enormous gifts were limited by their gender and not expected to succeed in what is still perceived as a man's world. After becoming a world-renowned evangelist, she served other leaders in various churches until 1994 when God called her to found and pastor, Abyssinia Christ Centered Ministries. In obedience to the call of God, Dr. Locke stepped out on faith to birth the ecclesiastical alliance, Christ Centered Ministries Assembly, over which she was consecrated bishop in 2001. Her elevation to pastor and then to the bishopric was not met with a chorus of approval. Many who applauded her gifting as an evangelist could not receive her as a pastor and fewer, even, as bishop. Poised To Emerge, originally the title of Bishop Locke's doctoral dissertation, offers insight to the struggle over gender apartheid from a perspective of those who were held hostage by tradition and institutionalized sexism, which yet have strongholds over religious practices today. It will provide inspiration to those going through the process of evolution from fear to freedom and it will inform others who stand watching the struggle that any system that holds a group of people to less than their capacity for full involvement and contribution, holds the entire body at less than its ability to produce.

Download or read book Emerging from the Global Crisis Macroeconomic Challenges Facing Low Income Countries written by International Monetary Fund. Strategy, Policy, & Review Department and published by International Monetary Fund. This book was released on 2010-05-10 with total page 63 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: While the impact of the global crisis has been severe, real per capita GDP growth stayed positive in two-thirds of low-income countries (LICs), unlike in previous global downturns, and in contrast to richer countries. The crisis affected LICs not so much through the terms of trade or global interest rates, but rather through a sharp contraction in export demand, foreign direct investment, and remittances (oil exporters also suffered from a sharp fall in oil prices). LICs saw the sharpest decline in their economic growth rate over the last four decades. However, this slowdown followed a period of strong expansion, and real per capita GDP growth has generally held up in LICs, remaining well above growth in richer countries.

This book was released on 2024-06-25 with total page 332 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Transformative new technologies are reshaping economies and societies. But as they create new opportunities, they also pose new challenges, not least of which is rising inequality. Increased disparities and related anxieties are stoking societal discontent and political ferment. Harnessing technological transformation in ways that foster its benefits, contain risks, and build inclusive prosperity is a major public policy challenge of our time and one that motivates this book. In what ways are the new technologies altering markets, business models, work, and, in turn, economic growth and income distribution? How are they affecting inequality within advanced and emerging economies and the prospects for economic convergence between them? What are the implications for public policy? What new thinking and adaptations are needed to realign institutions and policies, at national and global levels, with the new dynamics of the digital era? This book addresses these questions. It seeks to promote ideas and actions to manage digital transformation and the latest advances in artificial intelligence with foresight and purpose to shape a more prosperous and inclusive future.
Download or read book Poise written by Gary Stokes and published by . This book was released on 2012-02-01 with total page 198 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Poise: A Warrior's Guide Book Description: Poise: A Warrior's Guide charts a path toward sustained poise, a vibrant, fully alive state of consciousness that allows us to get the most from every moment of life. Poise is a sublime state, sublime because life is at its best when we are self-possessed, self-controlled, assured, in a state of equanimity. Fully poised, we are awake, composed and balanced, free from ego, affectation, fear and embarrassment. Poise is our goal because only in poise do we have access to our full powers. The book highlights how poise brings both pleasure and practical advantage. Poised, we are fully present in our environment, glad to be alive. Poised, we see that this moment is all we need to be happy. Balanced and composed, we are able to draw all that is pleasurable from any situation. Poised, our gratitude is complete, and our hearts are light, no matter what is happening. Poised, we enjoy the pleasure of being in love -- with other people and with our mother earth. Poised, we live in possibility and delight. Poise is the ultimate cool, attractive and sane. Poise brings practical advantages to every situation because poised, we are fully ready to create the best outcomes for others and ourselves. We are able to draw on our considerable personal resources -- physical, emotional, intellectual, and spiritual -- to capture the full potential of the moment. Poised, we can solve problems better than we can in any other state of consciousness. We hear at our most intuitive level, see with our greatest clarity and use all our senses at their optimal level, so that we can acquiesce to what wants to emerge. The book examines the great costs to us when we lose our poise. Our poise blown, we make mistakes. Our judgment is distorted and we make bad decisions. Without poise, our enjoyment of life is diminished. Worse, our potential evaporates temporarily or even permanently. Failing to sustain our poise, we lose access to our love. Poise reveals what keeps us trapped in a limited life, circling in an eddy, going nowhere. When we lose our poise, a universal pattern of thinking and behavior unfolds. These patterns are deep and difficult to discern, but the reader will learn to see them in the moment and be able to divert them from their usual path. Once we understand this pattern, we can begin to deconstruct our predictable failed responses to our unresolved issues. Rich with examples, the book lays out a clear path toward sustained poise. The reader will learn about letting go of the bad explanations that cause us to lose our poise and learn how to develop good explanations that set us free to flow into every life opportunity. Once we learn how to sustain our poise, our relationships with other people and with our planet will be transformed. This book refers to poised men and women as "warriors" or "warrior travelers," people who pursue breakthroughs in personal awareness. Warrior travelers are impeccable men and women who give their best at all times. In a deeper sense of impeccability, warriors are keenly aware of the short time we have on earth, thus they bring a vibrant appreciation and zest to every moment. Knowing they have no time to waste, warriors come alive now, joyful, unencumbered, humble and alert. By traversing a path of love and avoiding the worn ruts of ordinary human behavior, warrior travelers seek power, a mobilization of personal energy that allows them to witness the full wonder of the world. Because they strive to become the epitome of poise, nothing could be more fortunate than being a poised warrior.
Download or read book Regional and Global Regulation of International Trade written by Francis Snyder and published by Hart Publishing. This book was released on 2002-07-05 with total page 325 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The processes of legal and economic integration at a regional and global scale have created powerful legal and economic dilemmas. They challenge the paradigms of constitutionalism,including the State's monopoly of constitutionalism, the autonomy of national political communities and the traditional forms of participation and representation. The phenomena of globalisation and regional forms of governance have promoted the inter-dependence of national political communities and destroyed the artificial boundaries upon which national constitutional democracies are found and from which they derive their legitimacy. Furthermore, it is inevitable that the development of international trade and economic integration will raise claims for some form of global distributive justice to complement the wealth maximisation arising from free trade. This will come from the gradual development of global forms of political discourse and law–making, challenging State constitutionalism and requiring some of the instruments and theories of constitutionalism. The essays in this collection, written by leading scholars in international trade law, argue the pros and cons of greater regional and global regulation. They conclude that whatever the final framework for international trade, the critical decisions about institutional form and content will be decided in an emerging global political arena. They help to identify this political arena, who governs it, and according to which rules, and identify the different institutional alternatives in that global political arena.
