Book excerpt: This is the story of Billy Ranhalt, who is struggling with one of the most difficult challenges one can face. He is in defense at a trial within himself as well as in society that came about in the prime of his life. He is being tried for an injury or as some would say illness that can be found in every society throughtout the world. He is guilty before his trial. His offence is almost invisible to himself as well as many others that may suffer from his offence. His injuries are almost invisible to those surrounding him, yet he sees them himself but does not want to see them. Billy Ranhalt tries to overlook the impossible but must face trial. The injury Billy suffered is one that has become more prominent to our society in the past few years with the growing number of war veterans. The character Billy Ranhalt; is a person most people have seen or may see some day within their job, their friends or among family and very well themselves. The intent of this story is to open the eyes and minds of people incurring awareness and respect to those suffering as Billy did from an incurable but not, untreatable suffering. The only cure Billy finds is not what he really wanted, which is carried out by those unwilling or failing to see his injury. The setting takes place in modern day United States, among a typical American family. It has a strong emphasis on a Gulf War veteran, yet similarites found throughout the world in various surrounding. The ending is not a good ending for Billy, his family or friends. However, an ending that foresight and forethought could have been prevented.
Download or read book Desert MASH written by Clifford D. Cope and published by AuthorHouse. This book was released on 2009-09 with total page 266 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is a historical fiction satire story written based on my feelings and views gathered in the workplace of both the civilian and military environment. It may even present itself as anti-war to some. However it is just a conglomeration of my thoughts after spending much time within the military and always wanting to make it a lifelong job and adventure. I had spent many years working in the field of performance and productivity with the both the military and civilian workplace. I attended many schools and classes outside of my college classes which focused somewhat on anti-micromanagement. While taught and preached, micro-management is one aptitude I failed to see disappear while I worked in the military or civilian positions as a soldier and as a leader from the end of Vietnam era to today. I wrote this satire setting in the military realm with influence form one of my most favorite television shows and movie, which was M*A*S*H* 4077. I recall one time while working as a field consultant for the military productivity division coming into the classroom we were to teach a class on leadership at. The lead instructor had written on the board PERCEPTION IS REALITY. I was a newcomer to the division and only a lieutenant at the time but opened my mouth as I read the board out loud. "Wow whoever wrote that did not know apples from oranges. I did not realize the department staff was sitting in the adjoining room having coffee and reviewing for the class. As I entered the room all eyes were upon me and I was asked if I had a problem with today's lesson. Knowing I was in the dog house, I said no. I was then asked by the lead instructor to define the topic written on the board. I said. "Well I think Reality can be deceived by one's perception based upon the angle their senses absorbs the event." I added that it was a great topic and that we should teach this great relationship between the brain and the outside world. "We could add to the comment that all apples are fruits but not all fruits are apples." Was my final comment for the day as I sat down for meeting too begin. I soon learned that I would not be teaching that day. One of my most favorite songs Don't Rock my Boat, by: Bob Marley began playing in my head and still is today. So, this book as, well as some of my others will most likely rock someone's boat. As an anthropologist by degree I did want to participate in a war as my father and other family members. This is a human characteristic that will be with mankind for many years. I do see it as a profit in the area of capital gain for some as well as a gain of dominance for a few others. I also have learned from studies as well as experience that some wars are a waste of human life along with destruction of social and material products of nature and humans. I probably have watched all of the good old TV series and movie M.A.S.H. and sometimes caught myself saying, "Ah hell there is no way that could really happen." Well I have learned; yes it can and unfortunately will continue as abusive power exists.

Book excerpt: The mother of Emmett Till recounts the story of her life, her son’s tragic death, and the dawn of the civil rights movement—with a foreword by the Reverend Jesse L. Jackson, Sr. In August 1955, a fourteen-year-old African American, Emmett Till, was visiting family in Mississippi when he was kidnapped from his bed in the middle of the night by two white men and brutally murdered. His crime: allegedly whistling at a white woman in a convenience store. The killers were eventually acquitted. What followed altered the course of this country’s history—and it was all set in motion by the sheer will, determination, and courage of Mamie Till-Mobley, whose actions galvanized the civil rights movement, leaving an indelible mark on our racial consciousness. Death of Innocence is an essential document in the annals of American civil rights history, and a painful yet beautiful account of a mother’s ability to transform tragedy into boundless courage and hope.

Download or read book Handbook of Positive Behavior Support written by Wayne Sailor and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2008-12-02 with total page 778 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A revolution in working with difficult students began during the 1980s, with a dramatic shift away from dependence on simply punishing bad behavior to reinforcing desired, positive behaviors of children in the classroom. With its foundation in applied behavior analysis (ABA), positive behavior support (PBS) is a social ecology approach that continues to play an increasingly integral role in public education as well as mental health and social services nationwide. The Handbook of Positive Behavior Support gathers into one concise volume the many elements of this burgeoning field and organizes them into a powerful, dynamic knowledge base – theory, research, and applications. Within its chapters, leading experts, including the primary developers and researchers of PBS: (1) Review the origins, history, and ethical foundations of positive behavior support. (2) Report on applications of PBS in early childhood and family contexts, from Head Start to foster care to mental health settings to autism treatment programs. (3) Examine school-based PBS used to benefit all students regardless of ability or conduct. (4) Relate schoolwide PBS to wraparound mental health services and the RTI (response to intervention) movement. (5) Provide data and discussion on a variety of topics salient to PBS, including parenting issues, personnel training, high school use, poorly functioning schools, and more. This volume is an essential resource for school-based practitioners as well as clinicians and researchers in clinical child, school, and educational psychology.
