Victory for Us Is to See You Suffer: In the West Bank with the Palestinians and the Israelis - PDF
نویسندگان: خلاصه: During the second Palestinian intifada, Philip C. Winslow worked in the West Bank with the United Nations Relief and Works Agency (UNRWA), driving up to 600 miles a week between almost every Palestinian town, village, and refugee camp and every Israeli checkpoint in the occupied territory. He returned just before the onset of the 2006 war between Israel and Hizbollah in Lebanon.In this important new book Winslow captures the human aspects of the conflict during the years of suicide bombings and Israeli reprisals in the West Bank-the daily struggles, desperation, and anger of Palestinian farmers and teachers, the hostility of extremist settlers, the complex range of responses from Israeli soldiers, officials, and peace activists, and even the breathtaking beauty of nature in this embattled place. On this small patch of land, broken up by hundreds of heavily guarded roadblocks, nervous young Israeli soldiers who believe they are fighting terrorists tightly control the movement of Palestinians trying to make a life on their own land. A group of Israeli women, seeking to protect the rights of those same Palestinians and protest the decades of occupation, keeps a watchful eye on the checkpoints run by the Israel Defense Forces (IDF). The Israeli soldiers are often fierce in their treatment of Palestinians, as revealed in an army video described here in detail, but some have exhibited extraordinary courage in defying the culture of cruelty and even their superior officers in order to act humanely. Former soldiers who oppose the occupation spoke candidly to Winslow about what they and their units did during their service.Working with UNRWA, Winslow negotiated the delivery of humanitarian aid through military barriers, often finding himself the target of anger from both Palestinians and Israelis. He returned to the West Bank as a journalist, in the wake of the Hamas victory in Palestinian parliamentary elections, to interview people on both sides of the checkpoints and look at the decades-long destructive cycle through their eyes. From these unique multiple perspectives Winslow offers an uncensored view of the realities on the ground that have made a just political solution and enduring peace so difficult.
English Language Learners (Issues That Concern You) - Original PDF
نویسندگان: خلاصه: In Los Angeles, Chinatown is not just a tourist destinationfilled with Chinese restaurants, tailors, and specialty shops.Chinatown has spread east into the suburbs as Asian immi-grants have bought into the American dream of large homes,large yards, expensive cars, and owning their own businesses.Yet many of these immigrants feel as if they have never leftAsia. The populations of some suburbs in the valley east of LosAngeles have doubled since the early 1990s, and nearly two-thirds of the residents are Asian. Office and industrial parks areidentified by signs in Chinese. Some schools report that closeto 60 percent of their students are Asian. Mandarin is morelikely to be heard than English in retail stores. Hearing Manda-rin everywhere instead of English presents an unlikely problemfor some adult immigrants: They have no one with whom theycan practice speaking English.The same is true for immigrants from Mexico. Studies showthat Mexican immigrants tend to concentrate in specific areas,stop attending school earlier, and speak less English than otherimmigrants, although these rates do improve with subsequentgenerations. And now that Mexican immigrants are starting tosettle beyond their traditional gateway homes of California,Texas, Florida, and Illinois, spreading into mainstream America,more Americans are becoming uncomfortably aware of Mexicanimmigrants and their insular communities.Some Americans complain that although they are in theUnited States, it does not feel like it when they enter these im-migrant enclaves. Many, if not most, of the signs are in a foreignlanguage, as are most conversations. But these complaints havebeen heard since the first mass migrations to the United Statesin the first half of the nineteenth century. The Irish clusteredtogether in Boston, Italians in New York, Germans and Scandi-navians in the Midwest.
Ten Things I Love About You (Bevelstoke, Book 3) - PDF
نویسندگان: خلاصه: ―Annabel!‖Annabel snapped to attention. Louisa was addressing her with uncommon urgency, and she‘d dowell to listen.―Annabel, this is important,‖ Louisa said.Annabel nodded, and an unfamiliar feeling washed over her—maybe of gratitude, certainly oflove. She‘d only just got to know her cousin, but already there was a deep bond of affection, andshe knew that Louisa would do everything in her power to keep Annabel from making anunhappy alliance.Unfortunately, Louisa‘s power was, in this capacity, limited. And she did not—no, she couldnot—understand the pressures of being the eldest daughter of an impoverished family.―Listen to me,‖ Louisa implored. ―Lord Newbury‘s son died, oh, I think it must be a bit over ayear ago. And he started looking for a wife before his son was cold in his grave.‖―Shouldn‘t he have found one by now, then?‖Louisa shook her head. ―He almost married Mariel Willingham.‖―Who?‖ Annabel blinked, trying to place the name.―Exactly. You‘ve never heard of her. She died.‖Annabel felt her eyebrows rise. It was really a rather emotionless delivery of such tragic news.―Two days before the wedding she took a chill.‖―She died in only two days?‖ Annabel asked. It was a morbid question, but, well, she had toknow.―No. Lord Newbury insisted upon delaying the ceremony. He said it was for her welfare, thatshe was too ill to stand up in church, but everyone knew that he really just wanted to make sureshe was healthy enough to bear him a son.‖―And then?‖―Well, and then she did die. She lingered for about a fortnight. It was really very sad. She wasalways very kind to me.‖ Louisa gave her head a little shake, then continued. ―It was a near missfor Lord Newbury. If he‘d married her, he would have had to go into mourning. As it was, hehad already tried to wed scandalously soon after his son‘s death. If Miss Willingham hadn‘t diedbefore the wedding, he‘d have had another year of black.‖―How long did he wait before looking for someone else?‖ Annabel asked, dreading the answer.―Not more than two weeks. Honestly, I don‘t think he would have waited that long if he thoughthe could have got away with it.‖ Louisa looked about, her eyes falling on Annabel‘s sherry. ―Ineed some tea,‖ she said.

100 Simple Secrets of Happy Families : What Scientists Have Learned and How You Can Use It (100 Simple Secrets Series) - PDF
نویسندگان: خلاصه: Steve Burkett likes to talk about families—his family, your family,families in general. “Just think for a minute about the kinds ofmessages we receive every day,” says Steve, a retired sociologist, aparent, and a grandparent. “We read that people are workinglonger hours to avoid being with their families. We hear thatdivorce rates have hit a record high. Extended families don’t existand elderly family members in need are cast aside. Meanwhile,children are out of control, doing things that boggle the imagina-tion. It’s in the newspapers, the TV news, the shows and movies wewatch, the songs we listen to. We have a family-averse popular cul-ture, and we’re in danger of having a family-averse culture.“We wouldn’t be here without families. We literally would not behere. And yet the message out there is ‘run and hide.’ It’s like anall-encompassing public health warning—except it’s about the illsof marriage, of sibling relationships, of dealing with parents, ofdealing with children. I just saw a study with experts referring topeople in their early twenties as being in an extended adolescence,while they are now calling adolescence an extension of toddleryears, which is like saying the twenties are an extension of the ter-rible twos.“A family structure is as old as recorded time,” adds Steve, “andyet here we are, theoretically advanced in so many ways, and wehear about family life as if it’s some kind of extreme, dangerousxisport like cliff diving. And the worst of it is, for far too many peoplethat’s true. Too many people feel their family life is out of controlor just plain unfulfilling.”Polls confirm that many people share Steve’s concerns. Whenasked whether they thought morals were improving or declining,eight out of ten said declining. When asked why, their most fre-quent response was the instability of marriage and family.Steve says that the long-held expectation that every new genera-tion would enjoy advantages unknown to previous generationsfeels like it is being turned on its head. “We may have more free-dom than ever, more ability to choose our paths in life, but ourfamily life is going backward,” he says. All this at a time when“families are more important than ever.”

Face It and Fix It: A Three-Step Plan to Break Free from Denial and Discover the Life You Deserve - PDF
نویسندگان: خلاصه: World-renowned interventionist Ken Seeley, one of the hosts of A&E's hit television series Intervention, has spent the past twenty years helping people and their families deal with and overcome life-threatening addictions. His clients have ranged from the homeless to multimillionaires, each needing professional help with every problem imaginable, including alcoholism, drug dependency, excessive gambling, sexual addiction, abusive behavior, and mental disorders. A few years into his career, Ken realized that the one common characteristic with each of his clients was denial. He has since built his success on a proven program for pinpointing and dealing with this core issue. Whether coping with a severe or a soft addiction, a life-threatening situation, or just an impediment to true happiness, we're all in denial about something. It might be small and seemingly innocent, such as the fact that you're not trying to excel in your job as much as you could or should be. Or it could be much larger and even potentially lethal, such as a full-blown addiction that at this very moment is destroying your life. The truth is, no matter who you are, no matter how small or large your problems may seem, denial is holding you back from living your life to the fullest. Denial is the number one symptom of addiction. It's the mask that lets addicts ignore and avoid the consequences of their actions. But what most people don't know is that denial is also the fuel that creates an addiction in the first place—as well as nearly every other disorder, behavior, and habit that can negatively affect your life. In Face It and Fix It, Seeley leads readers through a three-step process to remove life-damaging denial in order to live balanced and healthy lives. He helps readers first to identify life-damaging behaviors; next he gives the tools necessary to break down the walls that denial builds up over time; and finally he shows how to maintain balanced lives and relationships. Whether you're looking for help for someone you love or struggling with an addiction of your own, Face It and Fix It will leave you with a greater sense of self-awareness and the skills you need to both improve your relationships and to live the life you deserve.
