From Hackney With Love - An Intimate History of Gentrification

Summary

For so many decades, Hackney was the pinnacle of the dynamic multicultural spirit of modern Britain, demonstrated by the borough's vibrant and energetic streets and often controversial political, cultural and socio-economic character. But today, the Hackney that long-standing residents once treasured seems to be disappearing. The borough's diverse working-class communities – who survived the run-down council estates, the overwhelming deprivation and the postcode wars – are increasingly being pushed out by the middle classes who buy up their homes, rename their shops and reshape their neighbourhoods.
How did Hackney go from being one of the poorest and most uninviting places in the country to being one of the most sought-after locations? In these pages, lifelong resident Richard Yeboah uncovers the borough's lively history, revealing the uncomfortable story of how gentrification has transformed Hackney, for better or for worse.
Examining some of the most contested issues facing the borough today – including housing and regeneration, politics, class, race, education, youth violence, culture and gender identity – Yeboah amplifies the voices of Hackney's new, existing and former communities and explores the relationship between gentrification and feelings of belonging and loss.
From Hackney, With Love is both a unique love letter to one of the most vibrant parts of London and a warning that its very existence is in jeopardy.

    Leaders are expected to be strong, dynamic, intelligent, and level-headed. As a leader, you may feel compelled to embody a "superhuman" standard or make personal sacrifices in order to get a project done well and on time. You might ignore the warning signs of mental health issues such as sleeplessness and fatigue. And, to make matters worse, you may rely on unhealthy behaviors such as consuming alcohol to deal with the overwhelming stress of daily life. So, how can you break this destructive cycle, prioritize your mental health, and optimize performance? 
 
This workbook offers skills and strategies based in cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), as well as dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) and acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT), to soothe stress, avoid exhaustion, and build the resilience required to show up as your best self. You'll gain a greater understanding of the specific psychological challenges inherent in leadership positions, the emotional toll it takes professionally and personally, and—most importantly—how to manage these challenges effectively. 
 
As a leader, admitting that you are struggling can be difficult. You may have feelings of shame, or fears of being stigmatized. But when weighed against the increasing costs to your mental, physical, and emotional well-being, you simply can't afford to ignore it!

    Read by the authors. 
Realizing how little control we have over our lives can make us fearful and anxious--or it can lead to greater intimacy with God, a richer prayer life, and a joyful eternal perspective.  
Seasons of grief, pain, and loss of control are inevitable. Despite our best efforts and steadfast faith, reality rarely matches our expectations. In an unpredictable and broken world, how do we cling to a foundation that provides purpose for today and hope for the future?  
In their new book, Beyond Our Control, Michael and Lauren McAfee show us how trusting God brings greater contentment than the illusion of control. With deep and abiding faith, the McAfees draw on their experiences with adoption, infertility, illness, and loss to help readers navigate unexpected circumstances. Offering biblical insights and their powerful story of pain and providence, Michael and Lauren know that no matter what happens--to their family, work, or ministry--everything is as it should be because God is in control, and he is good.   
The McAfees help us:recognize the illusion of control and how it leads to greater anxiety;understand why glorifying God is the richest expectation we can have for our lives;realize that Jesus' pain on the cross brings hope and healing to the pain we experience now;practice the profoundly comforting spiritual discipline of lament, which makes room for us to process grief; anduse times of loss to make more room for God's work of growing and sanctifying us. 
  
If you struggle to embrace the life you have rather than the life you wanted, this book invites you to find a deeper peace in God than you could have imagined.

    Things are getting complicated for the golden boy jock. 
Up until last week, everything in life had come easily for the high school quarterback-- football, girls, friends. So what if he was a little rough on Kevin, the gay guy in his class? Isn’t every jock supposed to pick on “queers”? 
Now Wade is learning his lesson the hard way. Ever since Kevin got his hands on that video, Wade has been at Kevin’s mercy... and at his service. Wade has had to do things that he swore he never would. But the worst part is that he’s starting to like it. Wade’s gotten a taste for something that he can’t get from this cheerleader girlfriend. 
But that may be the least of the straight stud’s problems. Because Kevin’s not the only one who’s found leverage on Wade. 
And if Wade thought his coach was hard on him before, he has no idea what’s coming.
