Book excerpt: This is the second instalment in the romantic suspense trilogy of the continuing tale of romantic introductions that began with Weekend Attractions. The story continues with new strangers meeting and discovering one another, but brings back some old friends from the first installment, as it once again sweeps you on a light hearted journey of passion, mixed with a measure of fear as you become lost in the dream that takes place during a weekend of encounters. With the weekend approaching, Mindy Mansfield found herself in an unexpected predicament. Her compunction for spontaneity would leave her regretful now as she stood alone on the adrift skyscraper, drinking champagne from a mug. She didn’t care what vessel the numbing fluid was distributed from, just that it was indeed delivered. Meeting a handsome, mysterious stranger during her spur of the moment cruise was unexpected. Lance Pritchett was the last person that she needed during her time of remorse but he relentlessly pursued her. His smug southern charm was no match for her quick, sultry wit. Taking Mindy for granted would be Lance‘s first mistake. His second would prove to be more costly and challenge his ability to win her over. Mindy’s friend, Jamie Lynn Mesner would be a crucial deciding factor as to the direction their paths would take.

Book excerpt: A powerful imagining by two Native creators of a first encounter between two very different people that celebrates our ability to acknowledge difference and find common ground.

Download or read book The Cursillo Movement in America written by Kristy Nabhan-Warren and published by UNC Press Books. This book was released on 2013-09-09 with total page 344 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The internationally growing Cursillo movement, or "short course in Christianity," founded in 1944 by Spanish Catholic lay practitioners, has become popular among American Catholics and Protestants alike. This lay-led weekend experience helps participants recommit to and live their faith. Emphasizing how American Christians have privileged the individual religious experience and downplayed denominational and theological differences in favor of a common identity as renewed people of faith, Kristy Nabhan-Warren focuses on cursillistas--those who have completed a Cursillo weekend--to show how their experiences are a touchstone for understanding these trends in post-1960s American Christianity. Drawing on extensive ethnographic fieldwork as well as historical research, Nabhan-Warren shows the importance of Latino Catholics in the spread of the Cursillo movement. Cursillistas' stories, she argues, guide us toward a new understanding of contemporary Christian identities, inside and outside U.S. borders, and of the importance of globalizing American religious boundaries.
Download or read book Policy and Practice in Science Education for the Gifted written by Manabu Sumida and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2017-03-16 with total page 199 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Gifted education has come to be regarded as a key national programme in many coutnries, and gifted education in science disciplines is now being recognised to be of major importance for economic and technological development. Despite these initiatives and developments internationally, there are very few discussions on gifted education in science drawing upon practices and experiences in different national contexts. In support of an international dialogue between researchers and practitioners, often working within isolated traditions, this book offers information on key influential approaches to science education for gifted learners and surveys current policy and practice from a diverse range of educational contexts. The volume offers an informative introduction for those new to studying gifted science education, as well as supporting the development of the field by offering examples of critical thinking about key issues, and accounts of the influences at work within education systems and the practical complexities of providing science education for the gifted. The contributions draw upon a variety of research approaches to offer insights into the constraints and affordancxes of working within particular policy contexts, and the strengths and challenges inherent in different approaches to practice. Chapters include: Teaching science to the gifted in English state schools: locating a compromised 'gifted & talented' policy within its systemic context Models of education for science talented adolescents in the United States: Past, present, and likely future trends Navigating the shifting terrain between policy and practice for gifted learners in Tanzania Science education for female indigenous gifted students in the Mexican context Gifted Science Education in the Context of Japanese Standardization This book will appeal to scholars, practitioners and policy makers who are in the field of gifted science education.

Download or read book Monitoring Inter group Encounters in Wilderness written by Alan E. Watson and published by . This book was released on 1998 with total page 28 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Many managers face the challenge of monitoring rates of visitor encounters in wilderness. This study (1) provides estimates of encounter rates through use of several monitoring methods, (2) determines the relationship between the various measures of encounter rates, and (3) determines the relationship between various indirect predictors of encounter rates and actual encounter rates. Exit surveys, trip diaries, wilderness ranger observations, trained observers, mechanical counters, trailhead count observations, and parking lot vehicle counts were used to develop better understanding of the relationship between these various monitoring methods. The monitoring methods were tested at Alpine Lakes Wilderness in Washington. Encounter rates differed dramatically from weekdays to weekend days at high-use places studied. Estimates of encounter rates also varied substantially across methods used. Rather than conclude what method is best, this report seeks to help the manager decide which method is most appropriate for use in a particular wilderness, given the issues being addressed. It should also help alleviate some of the problems managers have in prescribing monitoring systems, by forcing more precise definition of indicators.

Download or read book Character Building Values written by Dr. Hendrik J. Vorster and published by WestBow Press. This book was released on 2023-03-09 with total page 183 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: We all aspire to be people of high integrity, with well-balanced personalities, good character, and pleasant to be around. But how can we develop such a noble, Christ-like character? Nations and households rely on mutually embraced values—they often form a moral and social fiber that makes everyone stronger. These values become a visible demonstration of the beliefs we hold. As Christians, we base our values on teachings from the Bible. In fact, most cultures build their social fiber on the core values taught by the Bible, such as forgiveness, love, and being kind, gracious, and compassionate. In this book, consider questions such as: • What are the values of the kingdom of God? • How can we build values into our life? • How can we grow and nourish our spiritual roots? • Where do we put down roots? Values are the fruit we bear from the decisions we make, influenced by trying to follow the example of Christ. When you bow your knees to the Lord and rely on Him as your rock and foundation, you will enjoy tremendous rewards.
