  • Turning Bad News Into a Teaching Moment Using the Exploring Humanitarian Law Curriculum to Teach About the Impact of War and Natural Disaster
    Social Education 74(5), pp 247–251 ©2010 National Council for the Social Studies Special Section: Exploring Humanitarian Law The Exploring Humanitarian Law program was developed by the International Committee of the Red Cross in 2001 to introduce young people to the basic rules that govern international armed conflict. In the past 10 years, the program has been integrated in the curricula of schools in more than 40 countries in an effort to challenge youth to think about and develop solutions for these modern international issues. The curriculum is divided into five thematic modules— The Humanitarian Perspective, Limits in Armed Conflict, The Law in Action, Ensuring Justice, and Responding to the Consequences of Armed Conflict—and provides educators with more than 30 hours of free material. These EHL resources include lesson plans, primary sources documents, and engaging activities that aim to make the situation of armed conflict more relevant to the everyday experiences of youth, most of whom have never witnessed armed conflict firsthand.

    rrHE AMERICAN FOREIGN SERVICE JOURNAL Photo by M- P. Dunlap A BANGKOK HIGHWAY JUNE, 1927 Put These New Improvements to the Test It would take many words to tell the complete story of the new improvements in Dodge Brothers Motor Car and the finer results they produce. But here is a partial list: New silent-action clutch; seats re-designed for greater comfort; new five-bearing crankshaft of finest alloy steel; new starting system; new steering ease; easier gear shifting; softer pedal action; new muffler; smart new lines and colors. Take the car out for a trial. Experience for yourself the new smoothness, quietness and ease of handling; and remember that these finer results are in addition to an enviable record for long life and low cost of operation and maintenance.

    Septiembre a diciembre de 2015 History of Beauty Comentarios, anécdotas y relatos sobre los concursos de belleza. Tomo I Pepe Medel Septiembre a diciembre de 2015 Contenido general Presentación……………………………………………………………………………………………. 2 1 Septiembre……………………………………………………………………………………. 3 Octubre…………………………………………………………………………………………. 42 Noviembre……………………………………………………………………………………… 90 Diciembre………………………………………………………………………………………. 126 Presentación Muchos de los lectores de mi blog personal en Facebook History of Beauty (https://www.facebook.com/historiadelabelleza) me han solicitado que republique algunas de las notas que han considerado interesantes y que en su momento no pudieron leer y que además por el tiempo en que las publiqué, es muy difícil buscarlas en la página, a pesar de señalarles la fecha en que las subí a la red. Ante esta situación decidí re trabajar cada una de las notas y organizarlas a manera de un libro en línea que rescate todos esos comentarios y que los interesados lo puedan bajar de 2 la red, imprimir, coleccionar o lo que ustedes decidan. Esta colección que publicaré cuatrimestralmente se denomina: History of Beauty. Comentarios, anécdotas y relatos sobre los concursos de belleza. Es por esto que con mucho gusto les presento el primer tomo de este esfuerzo, el cual comprende las notas publicadas desde la aparición de mi blog el 9 de septiembre de 2015 y comprende hasta la última aportación subida en diciembre del mismo año. Esta publicación incluye las 185 fotografía empleadas en las diversas notas que escribí durante el último cuatrimestre del año 2015 y que en algunos casos, son fotografías que solicitaron subiera y yo aproveché para hacer un breve artículo. Espero que con la lectura de este tomo, los jóvenes aficionados a los concursos de belleza puedan encontrar los orígenes de nuestra pasión y los que ya son grandes conocedores del tema, logren revivir la emoción que nos siguen causando los certámenes que, al menos a mí, se han convertido en parte de mi vida y han convivido conmigo por más de 50 años.

  • Testimony and Call
    She Did What She Could The missionary journal of Bernice Johnson SHE DID WHAT SHE COULD The missionary journal of Bernice Johnson Second Printing, 2002 First Printing, 1997 Andrews Memorial Baptist Church 2 SHE DID WHAT SHE COULD The missionary journal of Bernice Johnson Acknowledgments Three of the Gospels tell the story of Mary of Bethany who anointed Jesus. She broke a box of very precious spikenard and poured it on His head and feet. When the disciples objected, Jesus said, "Let her alone..........She hath done what she could." (Mark 14:6-8) Bernice Johnson gave what she had and "she did what she could." This book will take you on a journey of her missionary life in Haiti. During her 37 years in that country, Bernice has recorded in a diary and in letters, her life as a missionary nurse. Working in primitive conditions, she ministered faithfully for the God Who saved her. He used her in countless lives to bring the message of the love of Christ to those who were lost. Missionaries are sometimes considered "above" the average Christian and "above" temptation. We think that they don't have problems like "we" have. But as you read this story of Bernice's life, our prayer is that you will see that missionaries are all human beings with the same feelings, aspirations and weaknesses, and the same needs as other Christians who stay at home. May your heart be burdened for souls who are lost; may you be challenged to pray and to give; and may you be willing to go that others might be saved.

  • Images of Women in Haitian Sovereignty A
    UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA Los Angeles Fanm ak Pouvwa: Images of Women in Haitian Sovereignty A dissertation submitted in partial satisfaction of the requirements for the degree Doctor of Philosophy in Theater and Performance Studies by Eva Heppelmann 2019 © Copyright by Eva Heppelmann 2019 ABSTRACT OF THE DISSERTATION Fanm ak Pouvwa: Images of Women in Haitian Sovereignty by Eva Heppelmann Doctor of Philosophy in Theater and Performance Studies University of California, Los Angeles, 2019 Professor Sean Aaron Metzger, Chair This project analyzes the use of nineteenth and twentieth-century images of Haitian women as performances of sovereignty by looking at a varied archive of literary, theatrical, artistic, and political performances. Although frequently assimilated into nationalist and anti- nationalist struggles for liberty, these representations are not always liberating for Haitian women. I examine transtemporal and trinational representations of Haitian Revolutionaries, the play Antigon, the fifteenth century Taino queen Anacaona, and Ertha Pascal-Trouillot’s presidency. My project reads these representations through Édouard Glissant’s theory of relation and creolization to unpack ways sovereignty, gender, and race are reconfigured in depictions of ii women. Addressing the limitations of discourses of ‘exceptionalism’ and ‘primitivism’ that have narrated Haitian history, my work extends scholarship on Haitian nationalism and feminism to combat the repeated exclusion of women from histories of Haiti. My work draws from multiple theoretical lenses including performance studies, literary theory, postcolonial theory, and gender/feminist theory. I consider the ways narratives of the Haitian revolution over-determine discourses of Haiti, masking the role of the international community and obscuring the contributions of women.
