  Over the past five million years, our species has spread from the plains of East Africa to every inhabitable landmass on our planet. Combinations of our technological Know-how, scientific knowledge, and complex societies have allowed humanity to shape and affect our environment more than any of our fellow species, even to the point of our peril.How did we get to this situation?What are some of our ancestors' choices as individuals, societies, and species that shaped our history to the present day?How did we develop those complex societies that let us build the first cities, nations, and empires?How much control did our ancestors have over their choices?What did they ascribe to the will of the Gods, and what was the result of human abilities?How do we in the present day, acknowledge and interact with our cultural inheritance from the ancient world?The answers to these age-old questions, of course, span some 11,000 years! The evidence looks like we had a fragmented intruder comet sometime about 10,000 BC that ended the Ice Age. This Concept is now the debate of Astronomers in the last decade only.

  Think you've got it all figured out? Think again. 
  Neal Boortz has been edifying, infuriating, and entertaining talk radio audiences for more than three decades with his blend of straight talk and twisted humor. In Somebody's Gotta Say It, Boortz warms up for the coming political season with a preemptive strike in the War on the Individual: ""The Democrats' theme for 2008 will be 'The Common Good.' I can't speak for you, but I am an individual. Government exists to protect my rights, not to order my life. And I damn sure don't exist to serve government."" He takes on liberal catchphrases like giving back (""Nobody actually earns anything anymore. Why do liberals think this way? Because they find it impossible to acknowledge that people work for money""), our rampant civic idiocy (""We are not a democracy. Never were. Weren't supposed to be. And we shouldn't be""), and Big Brother (""We have smoke-free workplaces. We have drug-free school zones. I say let's start establishing government-free oases, where we can be free to leave our seat belts unbuckled, and peel the labels off anything we choose""). And somehow, along the way, he finds room for pop quizzes and an answer, once and for all, to the eternal question, ""Neal, why don't you run for president?""—in a chapter called ""No Way in Hell."" 
  Full of irresistible wisecracks and irrefutable libertarian wisdom, Somebody's Gotta Say It is one man's response to America at a time when the government overreaches, the people underperform—and the truth hurts.

  Bandwidth Recovery For Schools -...

  Cia Verschelden, Kofi Lomotey

  Each of us has a finite amount of mental bandwidth, the cognitive resources that are available for learning, development, work, and everything else we have to do. These "attentional resources" are not about how smart we are but about how much of our brain power is available to us for the task at hand. When bandwidth is taken up by the stress of persistent economic insecurity or the negative experiences of racism, classism, homophobia, religious intolerance, sexism, ableism, etc., there is less available for learning and growth. This is as true for young children and youth as for their parents and teachers. 
   
   
   
  Cia Verschelden describes strategies that can help students recover bandwidth, including acknowledging the "funds of knowledge" of students and their families, promoting growth mindsets, using reflective practices to build a sense of belonging for all students, fostering peer collaboration, and implementing restorative practices in lieu of punitive measures. She offers practical ideas for creating more teacher-supportive systems and addresses how administrators can harness teachers' ideas to create inclusive learning environments for all students. All of us have a stake in a public school system from which students emerge as fully-formed learners and thinkers and who believe in their ability to affect what happens to them and their communities.

This book can guide you as you support your loved one—without sacrificing your own needs and well-being. You'll find the answers to some of your most urgent questions, including: what are signs and clues of suicide risk; how do I talk with my loved one about their suicidal thoughts; when should I call the police; what do I say and do after a suicide attempt; what treatments for suicidality are available; how can I help the person I care about stay safe; what can I do to help them feel better, too; what can I do to cope better; and what does recovery look like after a suicidal crisis?
