Mindfulness and Wellbeing for Student Learning: A Guided 5-Week Course

By: Lorraine Millard,Louise Frith,Patmarie Coleman

Study and student-life is inherently stressful. When students go to university or college, they enter a competitive world where their value is judged by each assignment they submit. Deadlines are always looming and often they seem to pile on top of each other meaning that students have to complete multiple assignments within days of each other. And this is just the study element of university life; the social side of student life can at once be exhilarating and overwhelming or an anti-climax. For many students it is their first time away from home so they have the stress of making new friends and forging their identity. Local and mature students need to integrate their existing life perhaps with caring responsibilities and paid employment with a new life of study and deadlines. As a result, they can have many competing expectations of themselves. This introduction to mindfulness starts with a focus on the breath as an anchor to the body. It uses the main lessons of mindfulness which include, bringing attention, automatic pilot, staying in the present, thoughts are not facts, practicing loving kindness and cultivating curiosity. It provides students with strategies to help them cope with the demands of being a student and how to navigate a path to achieve a sense of balance in their lives enabling them to achieve their potential. It also provides guided meditation scripts and session plans for anyone wanting to lead a mindfulness group. The book will consist of five chapters plus an introduction and conclusion. This follows the structure of the course that we run. Each chapter begins with a story/vignette about student life which puts the meditation into context. There will be a guided meditation in each chapter and activity/reflection exercises. Louise Frith is a Student Learning Adviser at the University of Kent, UK. She teaches academic literacy to students across the disciplines with particular focus on supporting students on the social work programmes. Lorraine Millard a Student Counsellor at Kent and mindfulness practitioner. She is a UKCP accredited Psychotherapist and Supervisor with over 30 years’ experience in varied settings.

The Barbour Collection of Connecticut Town Vital Records

By: Lorraine Cook White

Covering 137 Connecticut towns and comprising 14,333 typed pages, the Barbour Collection of Connecticut birth, marriage, and death records to about 1850 was the life work of Lucius Barnes Barbour, Connecticut Examiner of Public Records from 1911 to 1934. This present series, under the general editorship of Lorraine Cook White, is a town-by-town transcription of Barbour's celebrated collection of vital records, one of the last great manuscript collections to be published. Each volume in the series contains the birth, marriage, and death records of one or more Connecticut towns. Entries are listed in alphabetical order by town (also in alphabetical order) and give, typically, name, date of event, names of parents, names of children, names of both spouses, and sometimes such items as age, occupation, and place of residence. The town of Thompson is the subject of Volume 46, which was compiled by Carole E. Magnuson.

Rethinking Children, Violence and Safeguarding

Rethinking Children, Violence and Safeguarding

By: Lorraine Radford

Rethinking Children, Violence and Safeguarding explores the victimization of children as well as children who use violence towards others and presents an overview of key developments in research, policy and practice within the context of the recent major shift in thinking from 'child protection' towards 'safeguarding' and evidencing better outcomes. The gaps between rhetoric and practice are considered and Lorraine Radford argues that the way we 'think' about children and violence has had a profound impact on actions against the abuse of children and children who commit violence. Examples of research, reflections on research and key points and guidance on further reading make this a really accessible text. Rethinking Children, Violence and Safeguarding is essential reading for those studying childhood and undergraduate and graduate level, and will be of great interest to those working with children in any field.

The Monroe Doctrine

An ABC Guide To What Great Bosses Do

By: Lorraine Monroe

Leadership is the key to excellence. And leadership can be learned. Thank goodness, because many people who fall into managerial positions haven't the foggiest notion how to lead. They don't feel driven to attain the competencies of a boss--much less a great boss. Lorraine Monroe is a born leader. She caught the bug early, as secretary of the student council in the fourth grade at P.S. 157 in Central Harlem. She went on to found the Frederick Douglass Academy in Harlem, a remarkably successful and innovative public school, and became one of the most respected education reformers in America. Now Monroe translates her extensive experience in New York City public schools into the "Monroe Doctrine" to show other education and business leaders how to create and maintain high-achieving organizations. The Monroe Doctrine offers readers concrete lessons in the craft of leadership. Its brief, catchy lessons and anecdotes will help potential leaders tap into their natural gifts and harness those gifts to lead seemingly by instinct. Monroe's personal story of conquering the most overwhelming challenges will inspire leaders of all types to try new ideas to enrich their lives and the lives of their organizations. With The Monroe Doctrine by their side, readers will be able to lead any organization--whether a hospital, a house of worship, a sorority, a family, a school, or a business--with renewed passion and results.

The Weight of Their Votes

The Weight of Their Votes

Southern Women and Political Leverage in the 1920s

By: Lorraine Gates Schuyler

After the ratification of the Nineteenth Amendment in 1920, hundreds of thousands of southern women went to the polls for the first time. In The Weight of Their Votes Lorraine Gates Schuyler examines the consequences this had in states across the South. She shows that from polling places to the halls of state legislatures, women altered the political landscape in ways both symbolic and substantive. Schuyler challenges popular scholarly opinion that women failed to wield their ballots effectively in the 1920s, arguing instead that in state and local politics, women made the most of their votes. Schuyler explores get-out-the-vote campaigns staged by black and white women in the region and the response of white politicians to the sudden expansion of the electorate. Despite the cultural expectations of southern womanhood and the obstacles of poll taxes, literacy tests, and other suffrage restrictions, southern women took advantage of their voting power, Schuyler shows. Black women mobilized to challenge disfranchisement and seize their right to vote. White women lobbied state legislators for policy changes and threatened their representatives with political defeat if they failed to heed women's policy demands. Thus, even as southern Democrats remained in power, the social welfare policies and public spending priorities of southern states changed in the 1920s as a consequence of woman suffrage.

Victorian Women Travellers in Meiji Japan

Discovering a 'New' Land

By: Lorraine Sterry

Write a review Read reviews Take a Quiz Solve Book Puzzle

Victorian Women Travellers in Meiji Japan

Discovering a 'New' Land

By: Lorraine Sterry

This volume complements other published works about travel by nineteenth-century women writers by locating and creating ‘space’ for Japan which is missing within recent critical discourses on travel writing. It examines the narratives of women writers who travelled to Japan from the mid-1850s onwards, when Japan was first opened to the West, and became a highly desirable travel destination for decades thereafter. Many women travelled in this period, and although most left no record of their journeys, enough did to form a discrete body of literature spanning more than fifty years – from the end of the feudal Tokugawa era to the rise of Meiji Japan as a world power. Their narratives about Japan occupy a culturally significant place, not only in the genre of Victorian female travel writing, but in Victorian travel writing per se. The writers who are the subject of this book are divided into two groups: those who were ‘travellers-by-intent’, namely, Anna D’A, Alice Frere, Annie Brassey, Isabella Bird and Marie Stopes, and those who ‘travelled-by-default’ as the wives of diplomats, namely Mrs Pemberton Hodgson, Mrs Hugh Fraser and Baroness Albert d’Anethan.

Debra's Gifts

A story of love. The beginning and end of life.

By: Lorraine Paul Noznisky

Mother's Statement: This book is about our experience with my daughter Debra's walk with cancer. It is every mother's nightmare - losing a child. It began the first day my daughter was diagnosed. Never did I consider the possibility that my diary would serve any purpose other than to try to understand the mystery and confusions, or lack of information, or misinformation during her treatments; also our hopes, disappointments, the roller-coaster of emotions, and the confusing medications. We have never been able to verify her treatments, as after numerous requests, we were not given Debra's medical records.

50 American Heroes Every Kid Should Meet, 3rd Edition

By: Dennis Denenberg,Lorraine Roscoe

How quickly can you name 50 American heroes? They can be men or women, young or old, from the past or present, living or dead, but they all must have made an exceptional positive contribution to our world. Chances are, a few names popped right up: George Washington, Abraham Lincoln, Martin Luther King Jr. After all, they have their own national holidays. Then maybe people you are studying in school, such as Thomas Jefferson, Eleanor Roosevelt, or Harriet Tubman. After that, perhaps you listed a few important people in the news— Bill Gates, Jimmy Carter, even Oprah Winfrey. Coming up with a list of 50 wasn't easy, was it? We didn't think so either, and that's why we wrote this book. Every kid needs great men and women to admire and imitate, but how can you look up to them if you don't know who they are? 50 American Heroes Every Kid Should Meet introduces readers to a diverse cast of great Americans. The remarkable stories of fifty inspiring Americans are highlighted, from Jane Addams to Louis Zamperini. Among our heroes are architects and aviators, activists and scientists, entrepreneurs and advocates. They are teachers, musicians, inventors, and athletes. Some are well known. Others deserve to be. Some of our heroes lived long ago. Others continue to enrich our world today. Our heroes share admirable qualities: exceptional talent, fierce determination, and indomitable spirit. They are courageous and confident and possess an unwavering commitment to being the best they can be.

Memories of the Beach

Reflections on a Toronto Childhood

By: Lorraine O'Donnell Williams

Advance praise for Memories of the Beach: "Lorraine O’Donnell Williams has given us a charming and evocative memoir of the Beach district six or seven decades ago, when it was a separate world in the southeast corner of Toronto. Everyone who knew the Beach that was, and everyone who knows the Beach of today, will enjoy her account of growing up in that special place." – Robert Fulford, author of Accidental City: The Transformation of Toronto "In this richly rendered memoir of a Catholic girl growing up in Toronto’s Beach community in the 1930s and 1940s, Lorraine Williams not only vividly captures the feeling of a more innocent age, but at the same time touches on a universal truth – that the place in which we are nurtured forms an integral part of the person we become. Simply wonderful." – Michael Bedard, author of the Governor General Award-winning Redwork In this rare combination of history and memoir, Lorraine O’Donnell Williams details life within Toronto’s Beach community in the 1930s and ’40s from the vantage point of her front verandah, which abutted the boardwalk. Her extensive research has uncovered numerous hidden facets of the heritage of this exceptional neighbourhood, including the stories of what was in its time one of North America’s most remarkable amusement parks, the popular dance hall, and how the area was transformed from cottage to urban living.

Jeffrey Archer: The Kurds "The Simple Truth"

By: Lorraine Holloway-White

Possible government cover-up's, media blackout's, Princess Diana, MI5, politics and an ordinary woman right in the heart of it. Jeffrey Archer is the only name people connect to Kurdish Relief, as he was given a peerage based on a concert named The Simple Truth, claiming responsibility for raising GBP57 million. This proved to be just that, a claim. Behind the scenes, British Aid for the Kurds (BAFK) were the largest independent Relief Aid organisation at the time, but who were they? Their work went unreported with achievements hidden. Raising approximately GBP200 million worth of relief aid, they were deemed unimportant. John Major's government instead pushed Jeffrey Archer as the hero of the hour instead- why? BAFK's appeal was launched almost a month before Archer's. Why was he given a life peerage for one of the smallest relief aid efforts for the Kurds? Why was there not room for both appeals? The story starts with Parcels for the Gulf. Read the facts and decide for yourselves.
