Surviving Technopolis

Mothers-in-law are famous for being difficult but when Nell marries Andy it’s her father-in-law, Hal, who is the problem. A corrosive force in his own family, Hal is a truly ugly Australian who spreads his corruption whenever he gets the chance. Surviving Hal takes place in Sydney and Thailand and is the story of Nell and Andy trying to keep their family together against the influence of a charismatic but ugly soul.

Teenage girls can be mean. Often stemming from poor self-awareness, self-esteem and lack of relationship skills, complex friendship dynamics can be difficult to unravel and bullying can be hard to resolve. Surviving Girlhood provides a unique resource for preventing girl bullying by addressing the root causes and helping girls to be strong, positive individuals. Part 1 covers the facts on girl bullying, how to understand it, and the particular complexity of girls. Part 2 includes over 60 tried-and-tested activities that will help girls understand their needs, values, beliefs and influences as drivers for their behaviour. Through five key themes, from 'Being Me' to 'Conflict Resolution', they will also build self-awareness, self-esteem, and strong relationship skills. This photocopiable resource will be an invaluable tool for teachers, youth workers, counsellors, youth offending teams, behavioural specialists and all those working with girls aged 11–16.

Being a pastor has its rewards and pleasures. But churches can be unsafe places. They are filled with broken, imperfect people. Many ministers of the gospel walk into a church naive about the potential hazards of their vocation. They are vulnerable to difficult people, unresolved conflict, incompatible visions, hidden agendas, mission drift, and sin–their own and that of others. Other pastors feel trapped in a ministry hurricane and don't know what to do. They feel like failures. They're thinking about leaving the ministry. They are looking for help and hope–not from an «expert» detached from the real world of ministry–but from someone who has suffered through church hurricanes and lived to share the story. Moreover, they need to know they are not alone. Surviving Ministry: How to Weather the Storms of Church Leadership includes the author's own story as well as true stories from other pastors who have been in the eye of the hurricane. Discouraged ministers looking for biblical, practical, gospel-centered advice for storm proofing their churches, homes, and hearts have found a friend. Surviving Ministry will equip them to stay resilient before, during, and after seasons of difficulty.

Surviving Justice presents oral histories of thirteen people from all walks of life, who, through a combination of all-too-common factors—overzealous prosecutors, inept defense lawyers, coercive interrogation tactics, eyewitness misidentification— found themselves imprisoned for crimes that they did not commit. The stories these exonerated men and women tell are spellbinding, heartbreaking, and ultimately inspiring. These narrators include: Paul Terry, who spent twenty-seven years wrongfully imprisoned, and emerged psychologically devastated and barely able to communicate. Beverly Monroe, an organic chemist who was coerced into falsely confessing to the murder of her lover. Free after seven years, she faces the daunting task of rebuilding her life from the ground up. Joseph Amrine, who was sentenced to death for murder. Seventeen years later, when DNA evidence exonerated him, Amrine emerged from prison with nothing but the fourteen dollars in his inmate account.

On April 19, 1967, Air Force Colonel Leo Thorsness was on a mission over North Vietnam when his wingman was shot down by an enemy MiG, which then lined up for a gunnery pass on the two American pilots who had bailed out. Although his F 105 was not designed for aerial combat, Thorsness engaged the MiG and destroyed it. Spotting four more MiGs, he fought his way through a barrage of North Vietnamese SAMs to engage them too, shooting down one and driving off the others. For this action, Thorsness was awarded the Medal of Honor. But he didn’t learn about it until years later—by a “tap code” coming through prison walls—because on April 30, Thorsness was shot down, captured, and transported to the Hanoi Hilton. Surviving Hell recounts a six-year captivity marked by hours of brutal torture and days of agonizing boredom. With a novelist’s eye for character and detail, Thorsness describes how he and other American POWs strove to keep their humanity. Thrown into solitary confinement for refusing to bow down to his captors, for instance, he disciplined his mind by memorizing long passages of poetry that other prisoners sent him by tap code. Filled with hope and humor, Surviving Hell is an eloquent story of resistance and survival. No other book about American POWs has described so well the strategies these remarkable men used in their daily effort to maintain their dignity. With resilience and resourcefulness, they waged war by other means in the darkest days of a long captivity.

Surviving Poverty carefully examines the experiences of people living below the poverty level, looking in particular at the tension between social isolation and social ties among the poor. Joan Maya Mazelis draws on in-depth interviews with poor people in Philadelphia to explore how they survive and the benefits they gain by being connected to one another. Half of the study participants are members of the Kensington Welfare Rights Union, a distinctive organization that brings poor people together in the struggle to survive. The mutually supportive relationships the members create, which last for years, even decades, contrast dramatically with the experiences of participants without such affiliation. In interviews, participants discuss their struggles and hardships, and their responses highlight the importance of cultivating relationships among people living in poverty. Surviving Poverty documents the ways in which social ties become beneficial and sustainable, allowing members to share their skills and resources and providing those living in similar situations a space to unite and speak collectively to the growing and deepening poverty in the United States. The study concludes that productive, sustainable ties between poor people have an enduring and valuable impact. Grounding her study in current debates about the importance of alleviating poverty, Mazelis proposes new modes of improving the lives of the poor. Surviving Poverty is invested in both structural and social change and demonstrates the power support services can have to foster relationships and build sustainable social ties for those living in poverty.

Колонизируйте Марс и откройте все тайны Красной планеты (желательно с минимальными потерями).
Добро пожаловать домой! Пришло время высадиться на Марсе и основать первую в истории человечества действующую колонию на Красной планете. Все, что вам нужно — это припасы, кислород, десятилетия упорных тренировок, навык выживания в песчаных бурях и решительность, с которой вам предстоит постичь назначение этих странных черных кубов, возникших словно из ниоткуда. Это будет отличное местечко! Если немного здесь прибраться.
Surviving Mars — это научно-фантастический симулятор поселения, где вашей целью будет колонизировать Марс и не умереть в процессе. Выберите космическое агентство, которое будет обеспечивать вам логистику и финансовую поддержку, затем определитесь с местом для колонии. Возводите купола и остальную инфраструктуру, исследуйте новые возможности, используйте дронов, чтобы усовершенствовать и расширять ваше поселение. Выращивайте еду, добывайте минералы или же просто расслабляйтесь в баре после тяжелой рабочей смены. Но самое главное — не давайте погибать колонистам. Что не самая простая задача на неизведанной планете.
Вам предстоит преодолеть множество трудностей. Тщательно прорабатывайте стратегию развития колонии и не забывайте исследовать тайны нового мира. Вы готовы? Марс ждет вас!
Ключевые Особенности:
Первая внеземная колония человечества:

чтобы построить поселение в условиях, не приспособленных для жизни, вам придется хорошо все продумать и спланировать. В случае ошибки вам грозят не пробки на дорогах, а смерть колонистов. Перебои с электричеством на планете с непригодной к дыханию атмосферой обойдутся слишком дорого.

Уникальные характеры колонистов:

каждый колонист будет уникальной личностью, со своими особенностями, сильными и слабыми сторонами, которые будут оказывать влияние на нужды и поведение остальных поселенцев. Представляете, каково будет, если старший научный сотрудник колонии начнет уходить в запои после бессонных ночей в лаборатории?

Футуристическая стилистика куполов:

купола — огромные конструкции, внутри которых вы будете размещать жилые блоки, фабрики и торговые площадки, — выполнены в ретрофутуристическом стиле, каждый со своим неповторимым обликом. Создавайте колонии на любой вкус! Вы можете построить колонию, где науку ставят превыше всего — даже превыше жизни колонистов. А можете построить утопию среди звезд.

Исследуйте тайны Марса:

Красная планета в Surviving Mars хранит множество секретов — в лучших традициях Кларка и Азимова. В каждом из прохождений игроки могут столкнуться с одной из тщательно проработанных загадок Марса. И их изучение может привести колонию к процветанию или к катастрофе.

Древо исследований со «случайными» элементами:

благодаря комбинированию классического древа со случайными исследованиями каждое прохождение игры будет совершенно иным. И не забывайте изучать неисследованные территории Марса — это может привести к научно-техническому прорыву.

Уникальный ретрофутуристический стиль:

классический футуризм 1960-х в современной обработке, яркий и элегантный. Пришло время исследований и приключений!

Расширенная поддержка модов:

создавайте собственные фантастические здания, парки или даже мистерии с помощью всесторонних и удобных инструментов моддинга Surviving Mars. Делитесь своим творчеством с сообществом для построения совершенного общества.

Since Jean Lipman-Blumen's The Allure of Toxic Leaders shook the corporate world in 2005, countless articles, books, and Internet blogs have appeared on the topic. Despite such interest and response, no study of toxic leadership had appeared from a Christian point of view until this volume, Kenn Gangel's Surviving Toxic Leaders. Gangel begins by showing that toxic leadership existed throughout biblical history. Making generous use not only of biblical materials but also of contemporary leadership literature, Gangel names the causes and cures of power abuse, cheating, bullying, laziness, and dictatorial behavior in today's leaders. Readers will benefit from Gangel's leadership experience and expertise. He has been a pastor, a college dean (twice), and a college president. Gangel currently edits The Seal, a review of leadership literature. Practical and personal, Surviving Toxic Leaders abounds with stories of real people and their situations. Everyone who has ever had «trouble at work» will benefit from Surviving Toxic Leaders.

Losing a dearly loved family member or friend suddenly, unexpectedly, and tragically jars us at our very core. We shudder at the thought of it. When that loss results from a suicide it defies and assaults everything in us. The unthinkable is often considered not survivable. In Surviving the Unthinkable theology professor Don J. Payne exits the classroom and invites you into the chambers of his personal experience of that indescribable loss. This intensely personal narrative traces his process through shock, grief, anger, fear, and a host of unexpected sensations to redemption and hope. Yet, he offers no psychological analysis or formula to make it all OK. Here you will find hope–gritty, realistic hope that will deepen the resources of anyone who walks the unthinkable path of losing someone they love to suicide. Life on the other side of such a nightmare will never be the same, but there is life and it can be good. Don Payne gives voice to the experience in a way that extends a healing hand to any who wonder if they can survive.
