Children’s pastors, youth pastors, and volunteers play an essential role in churches and faith-based organizations. However, many people enter paid or volunteer ministry with limited professional training on how to work specifically with challenging children and teens, which can lead to ineffectiveness, disillusionment, and burnout. Well Equipped, written by an experienced teacher and counselor, provides practical training and advice for workers in the church on the subjects of learning and development, lesson planning, classroom management, and working with a wide variety of special needs populations. Specific focus areas include autism, ADHD, language, culture, refugees, third-culture kids, poverty, trauma, depression, and anxiety. Well Equipped is filled with helpful information, guidance, and examples to equip pastors and volunteers to better connect with students as they grow in their faith.

Presbyvestibulopathy (PVP), a diagnosis established in 2019, is a vestibular dysfunction or loss related to aging characterized by mild bilateral vestibular deficits, chronic dizziness, unsteadiness, gait disturbance, and/or recurrent falls. All peripheral sensory functions decline with age, and the population is aging. Consequently, older adults may experience decreased physical activity, performance, and social participation, falls, poorer quality of life, and cognitive decline. Occupational therapy (OT) plays a vital role in social participation, healthy aging, fall prevention, improving fall-related efficacy, environmental and activity modification, compensatory training, and rehabilitation with older adults to improve occupational performance and participation in daily activities. Despite the potential impact of PVP on occupational performance and participation in meaningful activities, limited literature exists on the topic. Further, potential efficacious interventions for age-related vestibular loss fall within the occupational therapy scope of practice. This capstone intends to utilze evidence relevant to OT to contribute to an understanding of PVP and the potential role of OT in recognizing, assessing, and treating patients with age-related vestibular loss. The Person Environment Occupation Performance (PEOP) model is proposed as a holistic and comprehensive framework to improve occupational performance and well-being in older adults impacted by vestibular dysfunction.

The worm wiggled and jiggled and jumped right off the hook and into the water. "Plop!" went the worm. Using her fingers, Jelly grabbed another worm, picked up the hook with her other hand, and carefully slipped the wiggly, jiggly worm right on the hook. "Yes!" she yelled, jumping up and down. "I did it, Gram! Look! The worm is on my hook!"Now that Jelly had the worm on her hook, she carefully put it back into the water. Down the worm went, deeper, deeper and deeper into the cold, clear water. Catching fish for dinner was one of their favorite things to do.This was the first time she had caught a fish all by herself.

The acclaimed chef shares more than 100 recipes plus techniques and personal anecdotes drawn from her Southern roots and Parisian training. Chef and culinary arts instructor Jennifer Hill Booker grew up on her family''s Mississippi farm before attending the prestigious Le Cordon Bleu in Paris, France. The dishes featured in Field Peas to Foie Gras celebrate the differences between these two types of cuisine while skillfully playing on their similarities, including the use of every part of a pig to flavor soups, stews, salads, and greens; a shared preference for local, farm-raised ingredients; and the technique of braising meats such as venison or rabbit with wine. Booker offers instructions on everything from canning and preserving to rendering lard, cleaning greens, and preparing the perfect Thanksgiving turkey. Enjoy savory Southern favorites such as Tomato and Okra Gravy and Glazed Turnips with Pearl Onions and Brown Butter. Feast on a variety of pork recipes, including Fresh Pork Sausage, and poultry and game dishes such as Hickory-Smoked Chicken Croquettes and Venison Stew. Also included are dessert like the Apple, Peach, and Pecan Galette; and unique cocktail recipes like Pomegranate Brandy and Winter Pear Wine.

The acclaimed chef and author of Field Peas to Foie Gras offers a unique approach to home cooking inspired by Southern and French cuisine. Chef Jennifer Hill Booker learned to cook Southern-style food before studying French cooking at Le Cordon Bleu in Paris. She noticed that rustic French and Southern dishes use many of the same ingredients, and that she could add flare to her favorite Southern dishes by using French techniques. In Dinner Déjà Vu, Booker shares her own home cooking and meal planning secrets—including grocery lists and time-saving tips—showing readers how to take full advantage of the overlap between these different cooking styles. The recipes are paired to make grocery shopping simple and cost-effective, with certain recipes even using leftovers from the previous night''s dinner.

The student''s task is to develop a comprehensive strategy for Briggs & Stratton, which is facing severe competition and margin pressures. A major component of the strategy to be considered is whether to implement economic value added (EVA) as a new performance measurement for management. The case is designed to serve as an introduction to how to compute and use EVA. It emphasizes the importance of performance evaluation as part of a larger strategic plan. A teaching note is available to registered faculty, as well as two video supplements to enhance student learning.

A wide and rich body of literature has identified the family as the key context influencing children''s development. In response, school districts and policymakers have sought to engage parents in children''s learning, particularly low-income families. Meta-analyses conclude that efforts to engage low-income parents do improve students'' academic achievement. Such research has prompted developers of some school-based preventive interventions to integrate programming components targeted at students'' parents. Social Emotional Learning (SEL) programs are one such type of school-based preventive intervention. SEL programs aim to improve children''s social-emotional competencies (behavioral regulation, attentional skills, problem-solving, social skills), in order to support their academic development. This paper examines the parenting component of INSIGHTS into Children''s Temperament, an SEL program that includes a manualized curriculum for teachers, students, and parents. Results from a randomized trial revealed that INSIGHTS improved students'' achievement and sustained attention, and reduced their disruptive behaviors. The current study tests whether program impacts on low-income urban kindergarten and first grade students'' academic, social-emotional, and behavioral outcomes differed by levels of parent participation. This study took place in 22 low-income urban public elementary schools. Ninety-one percent of participating children were age five or six when they enrolled in the study. Eleven schools were randomized to INSIGHTS; the remaining eleven schools were assigned to the attention-control condition. Previous research on school-based preventive interventions has typically found that more program dosage--at multiple levels--is associated with larger gains for students. Yet, the results of this study suggest that the dosage story in the INSIGHTS evaluation may be more nuanced than has been previously understood in literature on school-based interventions. Tables and figures are appended.

This gripping book considers the history, techniques, and goals of child-targeted consumer campaigns and examines children''s changing perceptions of what commodities they "need" to be valued and value themselves. In this critique of America''s consumption-based society, author Jennifer Hill chronicles the impact of consumer culture on children—from the evolution of childhood play to a child''s self-perception as a consumer to the consequences of this generation''s repeated media exposure to violence. Hill proposes that corporations, eager to tap into a multibillion-dollar market, use the power of advertising and the media to mold children''s thoughts and behaviors. The book features vignettes with teenagers explaining, in their own words, how advertising determines their needs, wants, and self-esteem. An in-depth analysis of this research reveals the influence of media on a young person''s desire to conform, shows how broadcasted depictions of beauty distort the identities of children and teens, and uncovers corporate agendas for manipulating behavior in the younger generation. The work concludes with the position that corporations are shaping children to be efficient consumers but, in return, are harming their developing young minds and physical well-being.

This study reveals Hassan to be a pioneer in the urbanization of Arabic poetry and a precursor to the poets of the later `Abbasid caliphate who replaced the desert themes and motifs prevalent in pre-Islamic poetry with those more appropriate to their urban environments. Hassan''s compositions demonstrate not only a familiarity with the urban landscape of the Ghassanids but also a clear disdain for the pastoral lifestyle of the Arab nomads. Hassan''s urbanism is one illustration of his status as a mukhadram. This study also examines the wine lyric within Hassan''s Ghassanid poetry. The poet''s verses in praise of wine date from both the pre-Islamic and the Islamic periods and are further evidence of Hassan''s embodiment of the mukhadram predicament.
