Journey, Girl Scouts’ highly acclaimed leadership curriculum. The aMAZE! Journey gives Wmiddle school girls valuable skills and tools for figuring out relationships. BFF takes girls a step deeper. How? By focusing on the confidence and skills they need to prevent all-too-prevalent bully behavior. Middle school is a time of transition and adjustment for girls, and also a time when bully behavior peaks. Girls tell us that they want to feel safe and protected, and want to help others feel the same. How can we get them there? By showing them how to build meaningful relationships and resolve conflicts peacefully and constructively. And by empowering them to educate others and create more peace…in their schools, communities, and who knows where else? We’ve drawn on our many years of girl expertise, best practices, and research—all delivered right here in BFF and through our aMAZE! Journey. Healthy relationships are the solution to bully prevention. BFF inspires girls to lead one another—with friendship! Before You Begin Read your aMAZE! Adult Guide (begin on page 30) to see how things are laid out and what activities to BFF make sense for you. Do the same with your BFF aMAZE! booklet to see how they match up and to help you plan. Of course, you don’t have to follow the guide (Be a Friend First) or booklet word for word—once you get a topic started, listen for where girls want to take it! Dear Volunteers, Congratulations! Because of you— and a network of volunteers like you across the country—middle school girls (in Girl Scouting, we call them Cadettes) are about to learn how to deal with bully prevention and make a difference in the world. Bully behavior tends to peak in middle school, making these years the most important time to promote positive social and leadership skills. The good news? It can be done! Through BFF, which wasaMAZE! developed to work alongside the Journey leadership curriculum, you will help girls change their behavior and develop friendship skills, which ultimately will change their relationships—and their future! Think about it—not only will these skills help girls thrive in middle school, they’ll also help girls succeed throughout their lives.

  • Growing up with Vertigo: British Writers, Dc, and the Maturation of American Comic Books
    CORE Metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk Provided by ScholarWorks @ UVM GROWING UP WITH VERTIGO: BRITISH WRITERS, DC, AND THE MATURATION OF AMERICAN COMIC BOOKS A Thesis Presented by Derek A. Salisbury to The Faculty of the Graduate College of The University of Vermont In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements For the Degree of Master of Arts Specializing in History May, 2013 Accepted by the Faculty of the Graduate College, The University of Vermont, in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts, specializing in History. Thesis Examination Committee: ______________________________________ Advisor Abigail McGowan, Ph.D ______________________________________ Melanie Gustafson, Ph.D ______________________________________ Chairperson Elizabeth Fenton, Ph.D ______________________________________ Dean, Graduate College Domenico Grasso, Ph.D March 22, 2013 Abstract At just under thirty years the serious academic study of American comic books is relatively young. Over the course of three decades most historians familiar with the medium have recognized that American comics, since becoming a mass-cultural product in 1939, have matured beyond their humble beginnings as a monthly publication for children. However, historians are not yet in agreement as to when the medium became mature. This thesis proposes that the medium’s maturity was cemented between 1985 and 2000, a much later point in time than existing texts postulate. The project involves the analysis of how an American mass medium, in this case the comic book, matured in the last two decades of the twentieth century. The goal is to show the interconnected relationships and factors that facilitated the maturation of the American sequential art, specifically a focus on a group of British writers working at DC Comics and Vertigo, an alternative imprint under the financial control of DC.

  • “It Would Just Kill Me to Marry Mary Todd”: Courtship and Marriage
    Chapter Six “It Would Just Kill Me to Marry Mary Todd”: Courtship and Marriage (1840-1842) In 1842, Lincoln married Mary Todd, a woman who was to make his domestic life “a burning, scorching hell,” as “terrible as death and as gloomy as the grave,” according to one who knew him well.1 COURTING MARY OWENS Lincoln’s courtship of Mary Todd is poorly documented, but indirect light on it is shed by his earlier, well-documented romance with Mary S. Owens. Born in Kentucky a few months before Lincoln, Mary Owens received a good education at the home of her wealthy father, a planter in Green County.2 She “was very different from Anne Rutledge.” Not only was she older, bigger, better-educated, and raised “in the most refined society,” she also “dressed much finer than any of the ladies who lived about New 1 William H. Herndon, quoted in Michael Burlingame, The Inner World of Abraham Lincoln (Urbana: University of Illinois Press, 1994), 268. 2 Nathaniel Owens, out “of his deep concern for the education of his children . maintained a private school in his pretentious plantation home, to which came instructors from Transylvania University, Ky., to give instruction to his children and those of his neighbors.” On his 5000-acre plantation he grew cotton and tobacco, which he farmed with the help of two dozen slaves. Notes on Nathaniel Owens, Fern Nance Pond Papers, Menard County Historical Museum, Petersburg, Illinois. According to William B. Allen, Owens “was a farmer of good education for the times, and of a high order of native intellect.

  • Batman Superman Wonder Woman: Trinity Pdf, Epub, Ebook
    BATMAN SUPERMAN WONDER WOMAN: TRINITY PDF, EPUB, EBOOK Matt Wagner | 208 pages | 01 Jul 2005 | DC Comics | 9781401201876 | English | New York, NY, United States Batman Superman Wonder Woman: Trinity PDF Book Not bad for someone from the Caribbean, eh? It switches between Batman, Superman, Wonder Woman and a narrator, often on the same page, often when more than one of those characters is in that panel. Enlarge cover. In the Batcave, Batman explains to Superman that the total of missiles are half a dozen, meaning there is four left. He also doesn't know how to write a convincing female character. When it is revealed that Bizarro did it, someone who wears something similar to Superman's costume, Diana feels embarrassed that they thought it was Superman. He later sends a letter to his employer, Nightwing , saying that the person who was committing the crimes must be Edward Nigma, but, as he is innocent, he has no idea of what to make out of it. The people of the planet are all about to kill themselves, when Batman, Wonder Woman, and Superman arrive. Soon, the two heroes get attacked, but Diana is already fast enough to be deflecting the bullets. Something tells me it's stolen. Meanwhile, the Friends Alfred's group hear a story from the Pilgrims as to how Atmahn, the Night Judge the god-like form of Batman within the Egg once rescued a child whose family had been killed, empowering him to fight back criminals, giving him the name of Rabat of the Golden Wing. Because Wagner's oft-basic writing wasn't entirely up to the task of bringing about much further characterization in the time available to him, many of these efforts just led to scenes that felt dragged on, or ended up killing some of the narrative momentum.

  • Who Watches the Watchmen: the Revaluation of the Superhero in the Nihilistic World Of
    Who Watches the Watchmen: The Revaluation of the Superhero in the Nihilistic World of Alan Moore’s Watchmen by Stacy Ryan Ange August, 2011 Chair: Ken Parille Department: English Alan Moore’s comic book series Watchmen is unique in comic book history in that it possesses a multi-layered, multi-interpretive structure and complex philosophically driven narrative. One of the novel approaches of Watchmen is Moore’s treatment of superheroes, revealing in their realistic psychological portrayals the inherent pathologies present in a person who presumes to act on behalf of a society, even if their justification is one of benevolence. In a postmodern world where God is absent and humans are left to construct their own belief systems independent of a creator, the superheroes of Watchmen are more often than not just as morally troubling as the villains of the comic. It is Moore’s revaluation of the superhero, by placing the superhero archetype in a largely nihilistic alternate universe that brings into relief the problematic existence of such super-powered beings, and questions their authority and justification to act on behalf of the world. Moore ultimately asks readers to make qualitative distinctions between the moral approaches his superheroes apply, generally revaluate the morality and ideals superheroes represent, and last, but not least, use their own critical reasoning to take responsibility for their lives and their own moral systems. Moore, in effect, asks readers to apply the kind of heroism his superheroes fail to exemplify: hopefully,
