Retooling the Mind Factory by Alan Sears Pdf

Alan Sears examines education reform in relation to a broad process of cultural and economic change. His book makes the case that education reform is one aspect of a broad-ranging neo-liberal agenda that aims to push the market deeper into every aspect of our lives by eliminating or shrinking non-market alternatives. The author begins by showing that advocates of education reform have had to make the case that the current system is not working. This sets the ground for an examination of the so-called 'Common Sense Revolution, ' a claim that drastic change was required to redesign government policies to fit a changing world. Lean production methods are a crucial component of this changing world, and broader social and cultural change is now required to consolidate the emerging order built on the spread of these methods. Education reform is designed to recast the relations of citizenship, contributing to the cultural and social change promoted through the social policy of the lean state.

Class Action by Andy Hanson Pdf

In this inspiring history of a union, labour historian Andy Hanson delves deep into the Elementary Teachers’ Federation of Ontario (ETFO) and how it evolved from two deeply divided unions to one of the province’s most united and powerful voices for educators. Today’s teacher is under constant pressure to raise students’ test scores, while the rise of neoliberalism in Canada has systematically stripped our education system of funding and support. But educators have been fighting back with decades of fierce labour action, from a landmark province-wide strike in the 1970s, to record-breaking front-line organizing against the Harris government and the Common Sense Revolution, to present-day picket lines and bargaining tables. Hanson follows the making of elementary teachers in Ontario as a distinct class of white-collar, public-sector workers who awoke in the last quarter of the twentieth century to the power of their collective strength.

Kingdom Vernacular by Nkosi Lee Pdf

Christianity is often labeled as a religion but through Christ it is so much more. Christianity offers the unique opportunity to have a relationship with God, to dwell on the other side of the veil and to be in God's presence. That is the basis of my poetry, insight from God, led by the Holy Spirit. I do not claim to be anything more than a born again believer through Christ Jesus. Therefore, the anointing of the Holy Spirit is my credential that makes my poetry authentic. It is my prayer that these poems will connect with your spirit and help stir up the fire that dwells within you. For those that do not know Christ as your personal Lord and Savior it is also my prayer that through these poems you will come to repentance and accept Jesus in your hearts. Many of these poems verify the power and new outlook we receive when we accept Christ in our lives. Christ states that "I am come that they might have life, and that they might have it more abundantly." The poems contained in Kingdom Vernacular demonstrate the abundant life of Christ, not in material but in the power of a transformed mind. If new life and being endued with power from up on high appeals to you, then you will connect with Kingdom Vernacular: Born Again Poetry. God Bless.

A Hunter-Gatherer's Guide to the 21st Century by Heather Heying,Bret Weinstein Pdf

A bold, provocative history of our species finds the roots of civilization’s success and failure in our evolutionary biology. We are living through the most prosperous age in all of human history, yet people are more listless, divided and miserable than ever. Wealth and comfort are unparalleled, and yet our political landscape grows ever more toxic, and rates of suicide, loneliness, and chronic illness continue to skyrocket. How do we explain the gap between these two truths? What's more, what can we do to close it? For evolutionary biologists Heather Heying and Bret Weinstein, the cause of our woes is clear: the modern world is out of sync with our ancient brains and bodies. We evolved to live in clans, but today most people don't even know their neighbors’ names. Traditional gender roles once served a necessary evolutionary purpose, but today we dismiss them as regressive. The cognitive dissonance spawned by trying to live in a society we're not built for is killing us. In this book, Heying and Weinstein cut through the politically fraught discourse surrounding issues like sex, gender, diet, parenting, sleep, education, and more to outline a provocative, science-based worldview that will empower you to live a better, wiser life. They distill more than 20 years of research and first-hand accounts from the most biodiverse ecosystems on Earth into straight forward principles and guidance for confronting our culture of hyper-novelty.

Jesus: My Autobiography by Tina Louise Spalding Pdf

“I have come at this time, in this place, and through this being to speak my truth, to speak the story of my life — the true story of my life.” The purpose of this book is to clarify, to tell the truth, and to share my energies with you so that you can begin the transformation of your mind and, therefore, the transformation of your heart and your world. It is in the misteachings that have been associated with my name that much death and pain has been caused and that much guilt and self-recrimination has been expressed. That was not my purpose; that was not my lesson. This story will begin the change. It will not make the change. It will facilitate turning the key in the lock, but you must open the door and walk through it into a new realm that is opened by this information. That is your responsibility. We can only bring you the message, this channel and I. We can only work together to transmit the information, but it is through your actions and your transformation that you will see a change in your world, a change in the subjective world that is manufactured from your beliefs, your thoughts, and your feelings. I talk about the truth of my birth and the truth of my life. I cover some stories that are recounted in the Bible and tell you the true story of those events. I describe some of my personal traits, my human traits, and I define what I am, who I am, and why these things happened. You will be able to understand the truth, and you will begin this reconditioning, this retooling of your mind — of your thoughts and beliefs — on this subject of my life, my meaning, and my purpose, for it is a long process. The time is ripe. The need for a spiritual revolution is here. — Jesus

Crying on the Inside by White Wolf Woman Pdf

A twelve-year-old girl struggles to understand her mother’s sudden and unexplained disappearance, only to have her heart broken when her mother returns as a cold, indifferent shell of the woman she once was. This begins a journey of grief, depression, abuse, and physical illness for the girl, who tells her life story through the narration of Crying on the Inside. The young girl grows up to be a woman who is a victim of her own mind, believing she’s a Superwoman who can complete any task to perfection. But she becomes a target for a con artist who marries her only to use her. The psychological and verbal abuse soon become physical, and the Superwoman realizes that she never recognized the warning signs of an abusive partner. White Wolf Woman wants her readers, particularly women, to be spared the pain of abuse by alerting them to the signs they need to heed to avoid the men who will prey on them. This riveting novel, the first of a trilogy, clearly illustrates how a high-achieving, successful woman can become the victim of the most heinous abuse, yet still rise above it.

Retooling HR by John W. Boudreau Pdf

HR professionals have made major strides toward becoming strategic partners. But they need to do more - by generating value through savvy decisions about talent. HR leaders typically assume that, to make such decisions, they must develop sophisticated analytical tools from scratch. Even then, the resulting tools often fail to engage their peers. In Retooling HR, John Boudreau shows how HR leaders can break this cycle - by adapting powerful analytical tools already used by other functions to the unique challenges of talent management. Drawing on his research and examples from companies including Google, Disney, IBM, and Microsoft, Boudreau explains six proven business tools leaders already use. And he shows how HR can apply these tools to talent management. Examples include: · Using engineering tolerances to find pivot points that job descriptions miss · Using inventory and supply-chain analytics to ensure a ready supply of the right talent · Applying logistics tools to optimize succession planning and leadership development · Adapting consumer research tools to find untapped value in total rewards Retooling HR builds on Boudreau's bestselling book Beyond HR, which traces HR's evolution as a decision science. For HR professionals seeking to sharpen their decision-making prowess, this provocative new book blazes an innovative new path.

Retooling the Mind by Anthony M. Okoh Pdf

"Retooling the Mind: The Way Forward For Nigeria" is an X-ray of Nigeria's socio-cultural environment, a decaying environment sandwiched between unrelentingly-devouring evil of systemic corruption and spiritually-challenging presence of unruliness, chaos, insecurity, anger, shamelessness, and a plethora of other mental or emotional deformities. The stubbornly-unyielding character is "You," the typical Nigerian, who reside in an urban setting in Nigeria or "abroad." Retooling the Mind shows you: * How to beat the death trap of adultery * Where to find trees, real trees, that have money - real money - growing on them; they are not in New York City or Chicago! * How our culture endorses, encourages, and promotes corrupt practices * What is driving Nigerians out of Nigeria, and how to stop the "bleeding" * Why our many challenges may just be hard problems, but not mysteries This brutally expounding book is mind-boggling, carefully and cleverly crafted to stimulate your curious and reading appetite. It appeals to the moral and emotional sensitivities of patriotic Nigerians - National Youth Corps (NYSC) members, the humble civil servant, appointed government officials, university community, and private sector business managers. Retooling the Mind is, ultimately, seeking a cure for our collective socio-cultural insanity.
