Joseph Akeroyd: Rediscovering a Prison Reformer

release date: Aug 03, 2021
Joseph Akeroyd: Rediscovering a Prison Reformer
School teacher Joseph Akeroyd was appointed Inspector General of Victoria''s prison system in 1924. He held this role until 1947 becoming the longest serving Inspector General in Victoria''s history. This book examines the experiences, achievements and failures of Joseph Akeroyd, the longest serving Inspector General of Victoria''s (Australia) penal system, in reforming that system. This is not a traditional biography. It traverses Akeroyd''s experiences in his time and reflects on reforms through the author''s experiences as a contemporary prison educator. Drawing on his education background, Akeroyd revolutionised the ways prisons and prisoners in Victoria were managed and many of these reforms are embedded in current practice. Access to his personal diaries, letters, official reports, newspaper reports and other private documentation gave insights so his single-minded reform agenda establishing Victoria''s unique relationship between education and prison management can now be recognised and acknowledged. There are many personal stories where Akeroyd interacted with infamous criminals. The examination of thwarted escape plans, rectifying wrongful convictions, recording the final days of those awaiting the noose, interviewing those about to be whipped or birched and following up after the events are moderated with contemporary stories of modern day interactions between teachers and prisoner students- some humorous, some sad, some sobering. Finally, this book will challenge all readers to reflect on the role of education in prisons, gain insights following stories of conversations with inmates, challenges in changing practice, involved in education, especially prisoner education, whether you are forming policy, advising policy and practice, delivering programs, supporting those undertaking studies, managing those who teach and /or preparing to teach in these unique environments to reflect on your own learnings and how to adequately prepare for those undertaking this vocation in the future.

Conan : What If?

Conan : What If?
Et si... Conan le Barbare existait de nos jours ? Et si... Thor avait rencontré Conan ? Et si... Conan était piégé au XXème siècle ? Et si... Wolverine avait vécu à l''époque de Conan ? Autant de questions que vous n''aurez plus besoin de vous poser après avoir lu cet album ! Si aujourd''hui Conan a officiellement intégré l''univers Marvel, pendant longtemps, cette idée était une utopie pour les scénaristes de la Maison des Idées. La série What if...? servait justement à explorer différentes réalités parallèles et des idées de scénario impossibles à réaliser dans les séries habituelles. Alors qu''une série animée Et si...? est prévue sur Disney+, nous avons exploré les épisodes concernant Conan. Quasiment tous sont inédits en France !

" Behold, I will send you Elijah the prophet before the coming of the great and dreadful day of the Lord: And he shall turn the heart of the fathers to the children, and the heart of the children to their fathers, lest I come and smite the earth with a curse."- Malachi 4:5-6 (KJV) The missing link to the heart of the fathers turning back to the sons, is the Day of Elijah, which is the prophetic. The prophetic always gave God''s chosen people direction, and the same thing applies to the New Testament church.

The Gangster Film

release date: Dec 16, 2014
The Gangster Film
This volume examines the gangster film in its historical context with an emphasis on the ways the image of the gangster has adapted and changed as a result of socio-cultural circumstances. From its origins in Progressive-era reforms to its use as an indictment of corporate greed, the gangster film has often provided a template for critiquing American ideas and values concerning individualism, success, and business acumen. The gangster genre has also been useful in critically examining race and ethnicity in American culture in terms of "otherness." Films studied include Musketeers of Pig Alley (1912), The Racket (1928), The Captive City (1952), The Godfather, Part Two (1974), Goodfellas (1990), and Killing Them Softly (2012).

"My friend Apostle Ron Wilson has struck a chord that every believer must hear. Watchmen on the Wall is a must read!"Dr. Ben Tankard, Gospel-Jazz Artist & Pastor"What is a watchman? To me it is someone who welcomes me into his family, standing in the place of a father. It is someone who accepts me - a single mom trying to raise two boys. To me it is someone whose love and prayers encourage me everyday. Thank you Apostle Ron Wilson, my spiritual father, for being a watchman!"Tasha, member Full Gospel Christian Assemblies International, Hazel CrestIsaiah 62:6 "I have set watchmen upon thy walls, O Jerusalem, which shall never hold their peace day nor night: ye that make mention of the Lord, keep not silence,"Calling all watchmen, in this powerful work, Apostle Ron Wilson challenges you to accept your mandate, take your place on the wall and hold not your peace! With passion and determination he awakens you - the watchman. By challenging you to throw off that which has held you back, he declares it''s time to recalibrate and fulfill your destiny!Ideal for individual and group discipleship, men''s ministry, intercessors, deacons, evangelists and pastors - anyone called to be a watchman!__________Apostle Ron Wilson is the Senior Pastor/Teacher of the Full Gospel Christian Assemblies International Church (FGCAI) in Hazel Crest, Illinois and Founder and Overseer of the Coalition of Apostolic International Ministries (CAIM).www.FGCAI.org

Climate Change Uncertainty Evaluation, Impacts Modelling and Resilience of Farm Scale Dynamics in Scotland

Climate Change Uncertainty Evaluation, Impacts Modelling and Resilience of Farm Scale Dynamics in Scotland
This Thesis explored a range of approaches to study the uncertainty and impacts associated with climate change at the farm scale in Scotland. The research objective was to use a process of uncertainty evaluation and simulation modelling to provide evidence of how primary production components of agriculture in Scotland may change under a future climate. The work used a generic Integrated Modelling Framework to structure the following sequence of investigations: Evaluate a Regional Climate Model"s hindcast estimates (1960-1990) against observed weather data; Develop bias correction "downscaling factors" to be applied to the Regional Climate Model"s future estimates; Evaluate the impacts of weather data sources (observed and modelled) on estimates made by a cropping systems model (CropSyst); Estimate values for a range of agro-meteorological metrics using observed and estimated downscaled future weather data; Simulate spring barley and winter wheat growth using CropSyst with observed and modelled weather data; Develop CropSyst in order to represent grass growth, evaluate estimates against a set of a priori criteria and determine suitability for use in a whole farm model. Conduct counter-factual assessments of the impacts of climate change and potential adaptation options using a whole farm model (LADSS). The study aimed to use tools on a spectrum of land use modelling complexity: agro-meteorological metrics (simple), CropSyst (intermediate), and the whole-farm integrated model (complex). Such an approach had a path dependency, in that to use the livestock system model component within the whole farm model, CropSyst had to make estimates of an acceptable quality for grass production. CropSyst however failed to meet the a priori evaluation criteria. This, coupled with technical and time constraints in running LADSS, led to the decision not to run the whole farm model. The findings were organised within the concepts of resilience and adaptive capacity. Results gained showed that the HadRM3 Regional Climate Model was capable of making both good and poor estimates of weather variables in the UK, and that downscaling improved the match between hindcast and observed weather data significantly. A sensitivity analysis involving introducing uncertainty from weather data sources within CropSyst showed that care was needed in interpreting estimates of future crop production. The agro-meteorological metrics indicated that whilst growing season length increases, the date of end of field capacity does not. The projected changes in crop production will likely be more positive if crop responses to elevated CO2 are considered. However, there will be additional constraints on crop growth due to increases in duration and magnitude of periods of growth limiting soil water deficits. Without adaptation to crop varieties with slower phenological development, yield decreases are seen in spring barley and winter wheat. The thesis concludes, whilst recognising the caveats and limitations of the methods used and the multiple range of external influencing issues, that the biophysical impacts at the farm scale in Scotland are within the boundaries of resilience, given that achievable adaptation options exist and are undertaken. The dynamics of farm scale management will need to adjust to cope with higher levels of water stress, but opportunities will also arise for greater flexibility in land use mixes. Crop yield can increase due to more favourable growing conditions and cultivar adaptations. These conclusions, when placed within the context of climate change impacts and adaptive cycles at a global scale, indicate that agriculture in Scotland has the potential to cope with the impacts but that substantial changes are required in farming practices.
