  When twenty-six-year-old recent college graduate Aswad Thomas was days away from starting a professional basketball career in 2009, he was shot twice while buying juice at a convenience store. The trauma left him in excruciating pain, with mounting medical debt, and struggling to cope with deep anxiety and fear. That was the same year the national incarceration rate peaked. Yet, despite thousands of new tough-on-crime policies and billions of new dollars pumped into "justice," Aswad never received victim compensation, support, or even basic levels of concern. In the name of victims, justice bureaucracies ballooned while most victims remained on their own. 
   
   
   
  In In Their Names, Lenore Anderson offers a close look at how the political call to help victims in the 1980s morphed into a demand for bigger bureaucracies and more incarceration, and cemented the long-standing chasm that exists between most victims and the justice system. She argues that the powerful myth that mass incarceration benefits victims obscures recognition of what most victims actually need, including addressing their trauma, which is a leading cause of subsequent violent crime. 
   
   
   
  A solutions-oriented, paradigm-shifting book, In Their Names argues persuasively for closing the gap between our public safety systems and crime survivors.

  Foreword by John Hattie.
  Questioning is a staple feature of a teacher's toolkit across all phases of education. Classrooms are awash with explanation, modelling and feedback, but of all the pedagogical strategies at a teacher's disposal, questioning is one of the most important. It is the heartbeat of a classroom. While the art of asking a question seems relatively straightforward, to what extent do teachers consider the types of questions they're using? Are the questions they ask students actually helping to support learning? InPowerful Questioning,Michael Chiles delves into the complexity of asking questions and how best to use this pedagogical tool as a powerful springboard to support learning in the classroom.
  Teachers are described by many as 'professional question-askers' and the use of questioning in the teaching and learning process dates back to one of the most influential users and developers of questions, the Greek philosopher Socrates. Socrates believed that by asking questions we encourage reflection, and that their use is most effective when we create a continual loop of dialogue between the asker and the receiver, to allow movement from surface to deeper level thinking.Powerful Questioningtakes inspiration from this, providing original theory that relates back to the historical use of questioning in the classroom throughout.
  Offering a fresh perspective on how questioning can be engineered to support effective learning,Powerful Questioningexamines the reasons behind the questions we ask and reveals the power of asking the right questions, in the right way, at the right time. It details a set of core principles, recommendations and classroom-based practical examples that can be used to implement powerful questioning both in the classroom and wider school.
  Michael's aim is to help teachers become research-informed on the theories around the use of questioning in the classroom, whilst also providing a wide range of practical classroom-based strategies. Readers will take away specific examples from a broad range of case studies in which teachers at different phases of education (from Key Stages one to five) share how they use questioning to improve learning and retention.
  Essential reading for all teachers and school leaders.

  This is a guidebook written from years of experiences, some good, and some bad, but always entertaining and eventful. I will advise the next generation of students, artists, athletes, or business personnel who are preparing to move away be it in another city, state, province, or country. Leaving your daily routine, surrounded by the places, and faces that you’ve grown so accustomed to is certainly not an easy transition, nor should it be, but hopefully this book will give you some idea of what it takes, and what you need to do to be better prepared.

  Dark Psychology - Mind Control...

  Remorse, regret, and saying "I'm sorry" are crucial for effective and balanced social interactions. These concepts, when practiced, increase the chances of successful relationships. Ignoring or rejecting these elements can lead to criminal or deviant behavior, with victimization often being a central aspect. The phrase "I'm sorry" is one of the most powerful and complex expressions in communication. 
    
  Throughout history, the phrase "I'm sorry" has been a fundamental part of societal and cultural exchanges across various languages. Its significance lies in acknowledging human fallibility, as our actions or words can cause temporary anger or lasting psychological harm. Understanding the origins and meanings of "I'm sorry" can deepen one's appreciation of this important expression. 
    
  The term "sorry" dates back to ancient times, originating from the West Germanic word "sairig," which is derived from "sairaz," related to the English word "sore." Initially, it conveyed both physical and emotional pain. Over time, it evolved into a term expressing remorse. Despite its similarity to the word "sadness," "sorry" has no direct etymological connection to it. The word "sadness" also traces back to prehistoric Germanic languages, where it meant "care," and the modern German word "Sorge" implies worry or sadness.
