Getting It, Having It, Keeping It Up by Beth Montemurro Pdf

Scholars and social critics are looking at gender and sexuality, as well as masculinity, in new ways and with more attention to the way cultural ideologies affect men’s and women’s lives. With the rise of an online “incel” (involuntarily celibate) community and the perpetration of acts of violence in their name, as well as increased awareness about the complexities of sexual interaction brought to the fore by the #metoo movement, it has become critical to discuss how men’s sexuality and masculinity are related, as well as the way men feel about the messages they get about being a man. Prior research on masculinity and masculine sexuality has examined the experiences of adolescent boys. But what happens to boys as they become men and as many move away from homo-social environments into sexual relationships? What happens when they no longer have a crowd of peers to posture or perform for? How do their sexual experiences and sexual selves change? How do they prove their masculinity in a society that demands it when they are no longer surrounded by peers? And how do they cultivate sexual selves and sexual self-confidence in a culture that expects them to always already be knowledgeable, desiring sexual subjects? In Getting It, Having It, Keeping It Up, Beth Montemurro explores the cultivation of heterosexual men’s sexual selves. Based on detailed, in-depth interviews with a large, diverse group of heterosexual men between the ages of 20 and 68, she investigates how getting sex, having sex, and keeping up their sex lives matters to men. Ultimately, Montemurro uncovers the tension between public, cultural narratives about hetero-masculinity and men’s private, sexual selves and their intimate experiences.

The acceleration of technological change demands that today's information professionals and educators not only be constantly acquiring new knowledge and skills, but also that they cultivate the ability to make sound judgments on which technologies to embrace. Today's librarians and information specialists know it's imperative that they keep up with new technologies. But not all technologies are equally important, either within the library setting or to library patrons. So how does one decide which ones to pursue and integrate into services? In the uphill battle to stay current with new and emerging technologies, deciding which ones to pursue and integrate into services is a major challenge. A secondary problem is simply finding the time to consider the question. Readers of Keeping Up with Emerging Technologies will learn all of the best practices and skills to keep up with new technologies and to analyze the ability of specific technologies to meet recognized user needs—all in this single source. You'll learn the best ways to gather information about new technologies and user needs, to evaluate and analyze information, to curate technology information for others, to set up experiments and evaluate the results, and to present your findings to persuade decision-makers. Written by the former head of user experience at MIT's library system, this guidebook serves information professionals, educators, education technology specialists, and anyone with "emerging technology" or "innovation" in their job titles. It will also be useful for library administrators and those who manage these positions as well as for students seeking a technology-oriented or curriculum-design career path in libraries.

Life Goals Matters , Keeping Up The Momentum by Selena Harris Pdf

It’s often said that one of the worst paths of action you can take is inaction. Essentially, this means that there’s nothing worse than doing nothing at all, and that you should at least try for something in your life. This proverb applies to achievement, particularly pursuing life objectives. So many individuals have an entitled attitude, thinking success will fall into their laps. In reality, there’s no such thing. Real, sustainable success is never by coincidence; it is earned. It is natural to aspire to overnight success. It’s tempting to hope and dream that you might strike gold and just achieve success out of nowhere, but it will not get you far. If you bet your life on hopes and aspirations, you will remain put. If you want to be successful, you must work no matter what. Waiting for success to arrive shows self-doubt and a lack of confidence. If you cannot even define your own objectives and plan how to get there, you will not succeed. Unless you adopt an aggressive approach. Set an end objective if you want passive success. You can not find a road to your objective if you do not know what it is. Otherwise, you would labor blindly until you reach a point where you are content. That is, unless you change your strategy from a passive one to an active one. The first place you need to start if you’re hoping for success passively is to set a definitive end goal. This is extremely helpful because you can’t really figure out a path to your goal if you don’t know what your goal is. Otherwise, you’d be blindly working up to a point at which you might feel satisfied with where you’ve ended up. If this map is too ambiguous, you will not reach your destination. Everyone has life objectives. Young children have job goals. As you become older, your tastes change, and you briefly consider your future. You return to your original course. Pourquoi? Sometimes we let life circumstances stand between us and our aspirations. You can do anything, no matter what you have gone through or will encounter. You only need a fresh viewpoint and the determination to confront the circumstances and pursue your ambitions. Life goals are something just about everyone experiences during their lifetime. As a young child, you have career aspirations. As you grow older, your personal preferences develop and you have fleeting moments of focus on the possibilities of how your life could turn out. You can achieve anything you want, regardless of what you’ve been through, are going through, or may face in the future. All you need is a new perspective and the willingness to face the situation and work on your goals in spite of it. To you, it will be something you simply navigate around. But it takes practice, and it’s not a comfortable thing to do. Knowing that beforehand makes it simpler to withstand suffering while learning how to manage challenging situations.
