  • Using Love and Logic to Raise Resilient Kids – Dr
    Using Love and Logic to Raise Resilient Kids – Dr. Charles Fay with Dave Asprey – #832 Announcer: Bulletproof Radio, a state of high performance. Dave Asprey: You're listening to Bulletproof Radio with Dave Asprey. Today's going to be a fun show, because I get a lot of questions from The Upgrade Collective, which is my membership and mentorship group that you should check out. In fact, there's a bunch of Upgrade Collective members logged in live as I'm recording this podcast, able to answer questions or ask questions at the end of the show. I get a lot of questions about parenting and, "Dave, what do you do for parenting?" I think I'm a pretty good parent, but you know what? Every parent thinks they're a pretty good parent at least some of the time, even if they're not. Dave: How would I know if I'm good given my sample size is I had two parents? I'm going to compare myself to them. Everyone says I'm going to do better than my parents, which usually means you do exactly what your parents did even more or the exact opposite way your parents did even more. You guys have heard me talk about being vicurious, vaccine industry curious, in the middle, where I'm going to pay attention to all the different data sources, then make my own decision. It's hard to be a curious parent, because, well, you just haven't seen enough. Then what you do is you go to an expert who has seen a lot of parenting and studied it and say, "All right, well, what's going to work? What's not going to work?" Dave: Then you look for a believable, trustworthy expert.

  • Racial Exclusion and Italian Identity Construction Through Citizenship Law
    L’Altro in Italia: Racial Exclusion and Italian Identity Construction through Citizenship Law Ariel Gizzi An Honors Thesis for the Department of International Relations Tufts University, 2018 ii Acknowledgements Over the course of this thesis, I received academic and personal support from various professors and scholars, including but not limited to: Cristina Pausini, Kristina Aikens, Anne Moore, Consuelo Cruz, Medhin Paolos, Lorgia García Peña, David Art, Richard Eichenberg, and Lisa Lowe. I also want to mention the friends and fellow thesis writers with whom I passed many hours in the library: Joseph Tsuboi, Henry Jani, Jack Ronan, Ian James, Francesca Kamio, and Tashi Wangchuk. Most importantly, this thesis could not have happened without the wisdom and encouragement of Deirdre Judge. Deirdre and I met in October of my senior year, when I was struggling to make sense of what I was even trying to write about. With her guidance, I set deadlines for myself, studied critical theory, and made substantial revisions to each draft I produced. She is truly a remarkable scholar and mentor who I know will accomplish great things in her life. And lastly, thank you to my parents, who have always supported me in every academic and personal endeavor, most of which are related in some way or another to Italy.

A Students’ Handbook, ReShape Paper no.15, Jean Monnet Centre, University of Catania pg. 2 MIGRATION, ECONOMIC AND SOCIAL DEVELOPMENT Foreword Although migration broke in international studies and course books about 20 years ago,1 probably migration studies as an academic discipline are still not well established in academic institutions of higher learning but the gap is being rapidly bridged in a synergy between such disciplines as development economics, sociology, anthropology, political science, international relations, law and, last but not least, journalism. This trend will help to avoid a silo approach when studying such a multifaceted phenomenon as migration. In recent years, students of the class on Migration and Development at the Master Course on Global Politics and Euro-Mediterranean Relations - GLOPEM - have asked whether manuals or handbooks could be used. Indeed, there are such publications, edited and written by leading scholars. The problem is that not only they can be voluminous, and not very affordable by students, but some of the topics that they cover need to be updated every year in such areas as flows of migrants and refugees, remittances, legal developments, multilateral and bilateral agreements.

  • Transnational Female Identity and Literary Narratives Between Italy and Eastern Europe
    UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA Los Angeles Cartographies of Estrangement: Transnational Female Identity and Literary Narratives between Italy and Eastern Europe A dissertation submitted in partial satisfaction of the requirements for the degree Doctor of Philosophy in Italian by Renata Redford 2016 © Copyright by Renata Redford 2016 ABSTRACT OF DISSERTATION Cartographies of Estrangement: Transnational Female Identity and Literary Narratives between Italy and Eastern Europe by Renata Redford Doctor of Philosophy in Italian University of California, Los Angeles, 2016 Professor Lucia Re, Chair This dissertation investigates a vital body of women’s writing in Italian about the estranging effects of migration in order to emphasize the articulation of a literary discourse that undermines conventional depictions of the Eastern European female migrant. I provide evidence of the emergence in their work of a distinctly transnational approach to literary writing (narrative in particular), founded on a creative way of addressing questions of estrangement, the body, and memory. I consider the work of three authors, who have yet to be fully acknowledged in the Italian literary landscape: the Italophone writers Jarmila Očkayová (1955-present; Italo- Slovakian) and Ingrid Beatrice Coman (1971-present; Italo-Romanian living in Malta), and Marisa Madieri (1938-1996; Italo-Hungarian from Istria), whose native language was Italian. My analysis focuses on the stylistic, thematic, and structural elements that Očkayová, Coman and Madieri employ to engage with and

  • Gendered Analysis of the Working for Water Programme: a Case Study of the Tsitsikama Working for Water Project Mastoera Sadan1
    Gendered Analysis of the Working for Water Programme: A Case Study of the Tsitsikama Working for Water Project Mastoera Sadan1 Section One: Introduction There are numerous government programmes that seek to address poverty, among these are social grants, provision of basic services such as education, health, housing, water and sanitation and provision of infrastructure (National Treasure, 2004a). Complementing these programmes are targeted interventions such as public works programmes. Public works programmes generally have the following characteristics (Goldin and Adato, 2000): 1. Provide short-term jobs using labour intensive methods 2. Create or upgrade infrastructure or improve the environment, and 3. Wages are set below market rates to avoid attracting people who are in formal or informal jobs In 2003, government introduced the Expanded Public Works Programme2 (EPWP) which aims to address unemployment by creating labour intensive jobs through government expenditure (National Treasury 2004a). Conventionally, public works programmes are implemented to mitigate economic shocks or natural disasters such as drought and is therefore, largely short-term in nature. However, in South Africa, public works programmes are being used to address the employment deficit and McCord (2002) argues that it should ideally be of a longer term nature. Furthermore, research conducted by McCord (2003) has found that at their current level, public works programmes are not a significant response to the high levels of unemployment in South Africa. The increased emphasis by government on the EPWP and the scepticism within broader society about what realistically can be achieved has led to a renewed interest in public works programmes as a poverty alleviation strategy.

Today's guest is going to be someone who can talk with you about women and intermittent fasting because she's used IF and keto to be a part of her life after cancer. She's well-known journalist Amy Robach who's covered major national and global news events. She co-anchors ABC News, GMA3: What You Need To Know and is on 2020 The Investigative Show.
