Through Trials to Glory

The Life and Trials of Loraine and Richard Kelly

By: Loraine Kelly

A memoir about my life as the wife of Richard Kelly, trying to make sense of the trials we endured, and about survival after it all fell apart. Those who knew Richard Kelly will have unanswered questions about his downfall, which became a personal tragedy and an American tragedy. Nothing in his life would have forecasted the outcome. He spent most of his remaining years searching for as many details of the organized plot to destroy him as he could, looking for justice and struggling to live with the aftermath of the bomb that went off in the middle of his life. Kelly was conducting his own investigation after he realized he was surrounded by shady characters who were exposed as convicted felons hired by the FBI. The FBI was duty bound to protect him as a member of Congress. What led the FBI to focus on Kelly? The better question would be, who led the FBI to focus on Kelly? Trials will come. Life is tough, but God is good. Trials are not an opposition to our happiness but an opportunity for holiness and maturity, which can lead to true joy.

Art : Process : Change

Inside a Socially Situated Practice

By: Loraine Leeson

This book brings a practitioner’s insight to bear on socially situated art practice through a first-hand glimpse into the development, organisation and delivery of art projects with social agendas. Issues examined include the artist’s role in building creative frameworks, the relationship of collaboration to participation, management of collective input, and wider repercussions of the ways that projects are instigated, negotiated and funded. The book contributes to ongoing debates on ethics/aesthetics for art initiatives where process, product and social relations are integral to the mix, and addresses issues of practical functionality in relation to social outcome.

Charlotte Smith

A Critical Biography

By: Loraine Fletcher

Sold, a legal prostitute' when married off at the age of fifteen, Charlotte Smith left her wastrel husband to support herself and their children as a poet and novelist who would have a lasting influence on William Wordsworth and Jane Austen. Combative and witty she became a radical, controversial and very popular author: at a time when the French Revolution was raising high hopes of Reform, she argued for change in England too. Loraine Fletcher's vivid scholarly biography is as readable for the newcomer to the 1790s as for the specialist, tracing the embattled life in the wonderfully self-dramatising fiction.

The Politics of Economic Restructuring in India

Economic Governance and State Spatial Rescaling

The Politics of Economic Restructuring in India

Economic Governance and State Spatial Rescaling

By: Loraine Kennedy

State re-scaling is the central concept mobilized in this book to interpret the political processes that are producing new economic spaces in India. In the quarter century since economic reforms were introduced, the Indian economy has experienced strong growth accompanied by extensive sectoral and spatial restructuring. This book argues that in this reformed institutional context, where both state spaces and economic geographies are being rescaled, subnational states play an increasingly critical role in coordinating socioeconomic activities. The core thesis that the book defends is that the reform process has profoundly reconfigured the Indian state’s rapport with its territory at all spatial scales, and these processes of state spatial rescaling are crucial for comprehending emerging patterns of economic governance and growth. It demonstrates that the outcomes of India’s new policy regime are not only the product of impersonal market forces, but that they are also the result of endogenous political strategies, acting in conjunction with the territorial reorganisation of economic activities at various scales, ranging from local to global. Extensive empirical case material, primarily from field-based research, is used to support these theoretical assertions. Scholars of political economy, political and economic geography, industrial development, development studies and Asian Studies will find this a stimulating and innovative contribution to the study of the political economy in the developing countries.

They want a fresh start with their eleven-year-old son Sasha, and Amy is determined to shake off the legacy of Johnny’s criminal family. But it’s hard to outrun the Novaks.

Freedom’S Final Season

Survival and Recovery from the Depths of Mangled Spirit

By: Loraine Louise Webb

Freedoms Final Season by Lorraine Louise Webb is a spell binding, fast moving account of the life of her main character, Lisa, as she travels through childhood, marriages, divorces, loss of children, life events that leave her battered, alcoholism and recovery, only to discover that life in recovery, although difficult at times is full of quality and events that continue to help her learn and grow into a strong, successful woman. This story shares detailed events about the life of a woman destined for heartache and failure only to find that while recovery for her continues to be difficult, sobriety allows her to manage even the toughest challenges in ways she had not foreseen. Lisa is a fighter; a woman who takes years to learn her own value and the important lesson here is the value of forgiveness, which eventually helps her to heal. Her recovery begins with a twelve step program and continues as her faith grows with the help of others who have preceded her in recovery. Each season unfolds with powerful poetry inserted to further enhance the intimate emotion of the forthcoming events and allows the reader further insight into the emotions felt and conveyed by the storyteller. The readers interest is captured in the beginning as she reveals more and more truths about her main character whose life is relatable to so many as she continues to learn everything she can to become that valued member of her own family that she has always longed to be. Its a story that will help mothers and daughters learn more about the intricate balance of those delicate relationships; what might destroy them and what is needed to help make them stronger. A powerful read about hope, recovery and relationships.

A Restorative Approach to Family Violence

Changing Tack

By: Anne Hayden,Loraine Gelsthorpe,Allison Morris

This volume provides an essential update on current thinking, practice and research into the use of restorative justice in the area of family violence. It contains contemporary empirical, theoretical and practical perspectives on the use of restorative justice for intimate partner and family violence, including sexual violence and elder abuse. Whilst raising issues relating to the implications of reporting, it provides a fresh look at victims’ issues as well as providing accounts of those who have participated in restorative justice processes and who have been victims of abusive relationships. Contributions are included from a wide range of perspectives to provide a balanced approach that is not simply polemic or advocating. Rather, the book genuinely raises the issue for debate, with the advantage of bringing into the open new research which has not been widely published previously. Given its unique experience in the development of restorative justice, the book includes empirical studies relating to New Zealand, contextualized within the global situation by the inclusion of perspectives on practices in the UK, Australia and North America. This book will be key reading for people who work with violent offending of a family nature as well as for those who are interested in the study of family violence.

Parables of Love from Mom

By: Chamisa Loraine Howard

When my children were small and my husband in college, I continued to recreate the stories my parents told me as a child about animals having personalities and their teaching abilities. I used the stories to teach my children moral principles through fables. They knew if they went to bed by 8:00 p.m., they would get another chapter of some favorite pretend stories, spun out night after night, chapter by chapter. Many of these stories led to daytime adventures as the kids lifted up flat rocks in search of Harvey Rabbit's magic hole with the candy factory. They made horn toads into pets and few a mouse in box fitted with a running wheel. In 1989, I decided to write down some of those favorite stories to give my now grown children as a Christmas present. My artist sister illustrated these stories for me. The compilation of stories has been sitting in my cedar chest for 30 years, until recently, when I had them re-printed for my now growing family of grandchildren and great-grandchildren. God bless each and every child out there, that they may come to know in their head and heart that we are all God's angels placed here on earth with extraordinary abilities in order to love and bless each other's lives.

A Psychologist's Memoir of Spiritual Awakening

By: Loraine Y. Van Tuyl

With captivating lyricism, Amazon Wisdom Keeper transports us into the multicultural upbringing and transformation of Loraine Van Tuyl, a graduate psychology student and budding shamanic healer who’s blindsided by startling visions, elusive drumming, and her inseverable mystical ties to the Amazon rainforest of her native Suriname. Is she in the wrong field, or did her childhood dreams, imaginary guides, and premonitions somehow prepare her for these challenges? Did Suriname’s military coup and her family’s uprooting move to the US rob her from all that she knew and loved at thirteen to help reveal her soul’s purpose, or is she losing her mind by entertaining far-fetched questions and hunches that can’t be answered or proven—like wondering if her perplexing life story is shedding light on the double-binds in her field on purpose, and suspecting that her soul’s daunting blue print was plotted long before she was even born? Van Tuyl wrestles with these questions and more as she embarks upon her risky quest, enduring test upon test in search of her true self and calling while enrolled in a rigorous academic program that regards intuitive healing methods as unscientific—and even unethical.

Investigating Troublesome Classroom Behaviours

Practical Tools for Teachers

By: Dr Loraine Corrie,Loraine Corrie

Get on with your work!', 'Stop talking!', 'Pay attention!' Does it sound familiar? Research evidence worldwide shows that managing classroom behaviour continues to cause difficulties for teachers. It is not the acts of violence or defiance that grind down teachers' energy and enthusiasm for their work, but dealing with constant repetitions of minor misbehaviours. The prevalent explanation for disruptive behaviour is 'individual deficit' - blaming and shaming the children for their inappropriate behaviour and teachers for their lack of management skills. This book shows that this attitude ignores recent research and is prohibiting the future. This book helps teachers investigate children's troublesome classroom behaviour through action research, providing them with strategies that will lead to lasting change. A vast range of topics are dicussed from practical examples of good teaching and the role of the classroom, to carrying out your own research and identifying and building on a teacher's strengths.

Analysis of Methods to Determine Storage Capacity Of, and Sedimentation In, Loch Lomond Reservoir, Santa Cruz County, California, 2009

Analysis of Methods to Determine Storage Capacity Of, and Sedimentation In, Loch Lomond Reservoir, Santa Cruz County, California, 2009

By: Kelly R. Mcpherson,Lawrence A. Freeman,Loraine E. Flint

In 2009, the U.S. Geological Survey, in cooperation with the City of Santa Cruz, conducted bathymetric and topographic surveys to determine the water storage capacity of, and the loss of capacity owing to sedimentation in, Loch Lomond Reservoir in Santa Cruz County, California. The topographic survey was done as a supplement to the bathymetric survey to obtain information about temporal changes in the upper reach of the reservoir where the water is shallow or the reservoir may be dry, as well as to obtain information about shoreline changes throughout the reservoir. Results of a combined bathymetric and topographic survey using a new, state-of-the-art method with advanced instrument technology indicate that the maximum storage capacity of the reservoir at the spillway altitude of 577.5 feet (National Geodetic Vertical Datum of 1929) was 8,646 ±85 acre-feet in March 2009, with a confidence level of 99 percent. This new method is a combination of bathymetric scanning using multibeam-sidescan sonar, and topographic surveying using laser scanning (LiDAR), which produced a 1.64-foot-resolution grid with altitudes to 0.3-foot resolution and an estimate of total water storage capacity at a 99-percent confidence level. Because the volume of sedimentation in a reservoir is considered equal to the decrease in water-storage capacity, sedimentation in Loch Lomond Reservoir was determined by estimating the change in storage capacity by comparing the reservoir bed surface defined in the March 2009 survey with a revision of the reservoir bed surface determined in a previous investigation in November 1998. This revised reservoir-bed surface was defined by combining altitude data from the 1998 survey with new data collected during the current (2009) investigation to fill gaps in the 1998 data. Limitations that determine the accuracy of estimates of changes in the volume of sedimentation from that estimated in each of the four previous investigations (1960, 1971, 1982, and 1998) are a result of the limitations of the survey equipment and data-processing methods used. Previously used and new methods were compared to determine the recent (1998–2009) change in storage capacity and the most accurate and cost-effective means to define the reservoir bed surface so that results can be easily replicated in future surveys.
