The Watts Memorial to Heroic Self-Sacrifice in Postman's Park, London, is a Victorian monument containing fifty-four ceramic plaques commemorating sixty-two individuals, each of whom lost their own life while attempting to save another. Every plaque tells a tragic and moving story, but the short narratives do little more than whet the appetite and stimulate the imagination about the lives and deaths of these brave characters. Based upon extensive historical research, this book will, for the first time, provide a full and engaging account of the dramatic circumstances behind each of the incidents, and reveal the vibrant and colourful lives led by those who tragically died.
Ultimately, this writing is made to help all families deal with the attack from the inside that will eventually cause a complete separation, having no boundaries in place for the child(ren). This leads to putting the child in the direction of constant battles to comprehend why their life is no longer at its best but has become increasingly abnormal. The Pharaohian and Herodian syndrome will make ways to constantly divide, change, and take away what should be given to the child in every family--unconditional love. However, if you must deal with the redheaded stepchild syndrome (RSS), it can turn your whole life around to put you in a seemingly no-win situation where you may suffer in silence. Today, I ask you to take the mask off externally and deal with the intrinsic feelings from within. This will begin to illuminate the real you and keep you in a remorseful state after you know that you were under attack to create chaos in your life. Let your heart turn to the child and his/her heart will turn to you. After you have taken things for a season, which is not a lifetime, move into the restoration period for all lives involved. To know restoration is to know who our redeemer is (Christ). May your life and days be enriched from this day forward. Nothing you went through will be wasted. It will all be used for the glory of God. Your salvation was paid in full, and now is the time to live for the overflow in the harvest you cultivated. To God be the glory.
During this time of a pandemic season and beyond, I hope to articulate a message in my book that you do not have to be stuck when you find out the root cause of your problem(s). Many situations arise because there are so many variations of sin used by the enemy to deceive people into thinking they have what they do not have. Today, not tomorrow, quit trying to please whoever it is that does not appreciate you on your job, church, school, college, team, family, relationship, or marriage. God has a door appointed for you to go through. Living in denial will delay/prohibit your mobility. Do not suppress your innermost feelings when you know you were once free, but now it feels like a trap within everyday life because of what somebody does or does not do. Life is meant to bring about trials and tribulations; however, if you can unravel the hidden truths, you are destined to be set free. Take charge and put action to your repetitive thoughts of what you constantly think about doing continually. At some point in life, you have to ask God for the revelation to say enough is enough. Otherwise, through time, you will accumulate multiple regrets which will cause you to be incarcerated from your choices. Today, please break free and move into your destiny. Do not bury yourself while you still live. Please act upon a solution, get away from denial, and make that long-awaited change that gets you away from being stuck. Hence, that level of immobility will penetrate your mind until you take action. After you conclude to take action, you will not have to look back anymore: ". . .Fear ye not, stand still, and see the salvation of the Lord. The Lord will fight for you, and ye shall hold your peace" (Exodus 14:13a-14 KJV). Remember, sometimes, if not all the time, you must take feasible action for change. Failure to do so could result in being STUCK: Living In Denial Will Prohibit Your Mobility.
During World War II, more than six thousand prisoners of war resided at Camp Perry near Port Clinton and its branch camps at Columbus, Rossford, Cambridge, Celina, Bowling Green, Defiance, Marion, Parma and Wilmington. From the start, the camps were a study in contradictions. The Italian prisoners who arrived first charmed locals with their affable, easygoing natures, while their German successors often put on a serious, intractable front. Some local residents fondly recall working alongside the prisoners and reuniting with them later in life. Others held the prisoners in disdain, feeling that they were coddled while natives struggled with day-to-day needs. Drawing on first-person accounts from soldiers, former POWs and residents, as well as archival research, Dr. Jim Van Keuren delves into the neglected history of Ohio's POW camps.
Source-Full Intelligence, Understanding Uniqueness and Oneness through Education is a groundbreaking book which will give you an entirely new understanding of holistic education. Written by an internationally renowned educator, teacher trainer and researcher, the book is intended for all who love and care for children and young adults. It details the toxicity of our educational systems and offers viable alternatives in order to make the process of education a joyful one for learners. It urges all care givers and educators to begin by developing their own Source-full Intelligence to enable them to understand the dual capacity that we humans have of conceptualising and experiencing our uniqueness and oneness, and pass on this understanding to learners. With the help of two lesson plans in the final chapter, it demonstrates how we can fruitfully replace the Self-versus-Other consciousness with a Self-and-Other consciousness and lead children to an even higher awareness that all is Self and there is in fact, no Other. By courageously examining our own belief systems and replacing delimiting beliefs with life-enhancing ones, each one of us can, in our own unique way, contribute towards making our rapidly shrinking and increasingly threatened world a better place for ourselves and for the generations to come.
This book is the first volume of Thoroton's History of Nottinghamshire. Dr. Robert Thoroton (4 October 1623 - c. 21 November 1678) was an English antiquary, mainly remembered for his county history, The Antiquities of Nottinghamshire (1677). In 1667 Thoroton, aided by a band of helpers, began to work upon his great county history, The Antiquities of Nottinghamshire. This was published in London in 1677; it was dedicated to the eminent antiquarian William Dugdale and was illustrated by engravings by W. Hollar. It was Dugdale who had urged Thoroton to complete the work of history begun by Thoroton's father-in-law.
During his lifetime, the work of architect George Hadfield (1763–1826) was highly regarded, both in England and the United States.

In order to reassess Hadfield's career and work, this book draws upon a wide selection of written and visual sources to reconstruct his life and legacy.
A COMPANION READER FOR MULTICULTURAL AND DIVERSE EDUCATION COURSES This book is a strong support for anyone--teachers, professors, administrators who are working to make their courses more CULTURALLY RELEVANT By: Dr. Wm. Patric Leedom How does an educator—teacher, professor, administrator in their courses—provide a positive learning environment where every student strives to attend because they receive exciting and worthwhile experiences; they feel welcomed, safe, and respected; each student feels a positive connection between themselves and the educator, who has their best interests in mind? Dr. Wm. Patric Leedom, professor of teacher education for twenty-five years, was teaching a course in the School of Education, University of Cincinnati, Teaching and Learning in a Diverse Classroom. The required readings were based upon forty-plus book chapters and journal articles that provided comprehensive information on how to welcome and support a variety of pre-K-12 students. Taking these lessons learned, each teacher-candidate then chose four or five of the topics and utilizing elucidation and exposition developed their individual essays. Thirteen students wrote outstanding papers, and their work as well as the literature behind it are provided in this companion reader to aid in imparting crucial knowledge and skillsets to the next generation of teachers.
In the contemporary world, the audiences of learners in all types of educational institutions, ranging from kindergartens to universities, tend to become more and more diverse. Because of the differences between various learners, it becomes increasingly inadequate to utilize the same instructional methods for all the students. Therefore, a need arises to use instructional methods and techniques which would be either flexible enough to suit all students or would allow for adapting instruction to individual learners. For educators in diverse contexts, it is not only socially virtuous but also pedagogically valuable to proactively anticipate and incorporate students’ heterogeneous backgrounds, abilities, and interests into teaching and course design. This assignment highlights three educational frameworks—Inclusive Pedagogy, Differentiate Instruction, and Universal Design for Learning (UDL)—that emphasize the educational importance of imbuing all students with a sense of belonging in the classroom and curriculum. Drawing from these approaches, the assignment suggests a series of concrete strategies for educators to enthusiastically harness diversity and amplify student learning.
Author Alan Brown shines the light on some of worst characters in Mississippi history. Mississippi's nickname--"The Magnolia State"--highlights the region's natural and architectural beauty. However, Mississippi is also home to a rogue's gallery of thieves and murderers, beginning with the nation's first serial killers--the Harpe Brothers--and continuing to the present with Glen Rogers, "The Cross Country Killer." Lurking through Mississippi Scoundrels is a wide variety of scalawags, ranging from the 19th century "hell raisers " in Natchez-under-the-Hill to racist murderers, like Byron De La Beckworth and Samuel Bowers. Readers will also find "bad men" who have morphed into folk heroes, like Rube Burrow--"The King of the Train Robbers"--and Texas Red, Franklin County's African-American outlaw. But this book isn't all about atrocious men. Here you'll encounter vile women such as Ouida Keaton and Ruth Thompson, both of whom committed matricide, and Carolee Biddy, who killed her stepdaughter.
Examining the literary career of the eighteenth-century Irish painter James Barry, 1741-1806 through an interdisciplinary methodology, The Writings of James Barry and the Genre of History Painting, 1775-1809 is the first full-length study of the artist’s writings. Liam Lenihan critically assesses the artist’s own aesthetic philosophy about painting and printmaking, and reveals the extent to which Barry wrestles with the significant stylistic transformations of the pre-eminent artistic genre of his age: history painting. Lenihan’s book delves into the connections between Barry’s writings and art, and the cultural and political issues that dominated the public sphere in London during the American and French Revolutions.
It is often assumed that the verbal and visual languages of indigenous people had little influence upon the classification of scientific, legal, and artistic objects in the metropolises and museums of nineteenth-century colonial powers. However, as this book demonstrates, it is a fallacy that colonized locals merely collected material for interested colonizers. Through an analysis of particular language notations and drawings hidden in colonial documents and a reexamination of cross-cultural communication, the book writes biographies for five objects that exemplify the tensions of nineteenth century history.

Academic Paper from the year 2019 in the subject Business economics - Customer Relationship Management, CRM, , language: English, abstract: This research tries to examine the impact of service quality on customer satisfaction in Banking Industry of India. The researcher has collected primary data from 850 customers of public, private and foreign sector banks operating in the northern region of India namely Delhi NCR, Uttar Pradesh, Rajasthan and Punjab. The researcher also took feedback from 50 bankers including one Senior Manager from each Bank to analyze their perspective and initiatives taken at strategic level to ensure optimum customer satisfaction is provided. The data was collected through a structured questionnaire for both customers and bankers. The secondary data was collected from academic journals, bank annual reports and credible websites. The aim of this research is specifically to analyze the dimensions of the perceived and expected service quality and its effects on customer satisfaction. Customer satisfaction is paramount to any sector which provides service and needs to sustain its advantage over the competitors. The Banking Industry of India is highly competitive with the advent of recent entrants into the market functioning along with well-established Banks. It becomes imperative for senior management of banks to focus on quality of services and products offered to customers to ensure their growth and retention Banks need to continuously innovate their methodologies and techniques to remain at the fore front. Even though the different sector of Banks in India are making huge efforts in achieving this objective, there is not enough proof to demonstrate comparative analysis of how customer satisfaction is impacted by the quality of their services, leaving a major gap in Indian literature.
