BAM! Boys Advocacy and Mentoring: A Leader’s Guide to Facilitating Strengths-Based Groups for Boys - Helping Boys Make Better Contact by Making Better ... and Psychotherapy with Boys and Men)

Over the past decade, our understanding of the fundamental differences in child development, behavior, and emotional maturity between boys and girls has increased dramatically, and as a result, many gender-specific interventions and support programs have been developed to meet the needs of parents, teachers, and mental health professionals. However, these all take the form of responses designed to minimize an already disruptive behavior pattern. What has been needed is a pro-active program whose goal is to instill positive skills and patterns in 'at-risk' boys, rather than waiting to address problems after they are already visible. The BAM! Boys Advocacy and Mentoring program fills this need by providing the first guidebook for group facilitators who want to lead preventative boys groups designed to foster communication skills and emotional connections. Based on years of research and refined over the course of countless sessions run by the authors, the program has been field-tested and tailored for use either in the school setting or outside. Over a series of group sessions, participants are encouraged to understand their emotions and interpersonal interactions without losing a sense of 'maleness' as a result of emotional growth and communication with peers about personal issues. The activities are designed to be engaging across age groups, and the individual exercises and program structure can be modified to fit into any existing school- or community-based mentoring system. The guidebook contains all of the information and tools a facilitator needs in order to implement and maintain these boys groups.

Queen Emma & Earl Godwin: Power, Love and the Vikings in Medieval Europe

Literature & Fiction

Genre Fiction

Xlibris

Queen Emma, daughter of a duke of Normandy, wife of two kings of England and mother of two more, is one of the most remarkable women in medieval history. Her quick wit, courage, and cunning, inherited from her Viking forbears, allowed her to overcome many cruel twists of fate and ultimately succeed in a world dominated by men. Godwin, nine years Emma's junior, shared her tenacious ambition and rose from the ranks of minor nobility to become earl of Wessex. Godwin's intelligence and political astuteness sees him survive civil wars, hostile rulers, and foreign invasions. For nearly thirty years, he was the most powerful man in England, after the king. As a young boy, Godwin witnessed the marriage of Emma, then a sixteen-year-old virgin, to King Ethelred, a widower with a dozen children and a kingdom under constant attack from Viking invaders, and fell in love. A love that, because of Emma's position, he had to for many years keep secret, a love that endured until they die. Godwin and Emma is historical fiction. It tells the story of Emma, queen of England, and Godwin, earl of Wessex, and of their love affair set against the turbulent backdrop of eleventh century Europe.

The 21st International Humanities Conference — ALL and Everything 2016 convened on Wednesday, April 20th to Sunday, April 24th, 2016 at the Hawthorne Hotel, Salem, Massachusetts. The conference was attended by over 100 participants travelling from Argentina, Germany, Greece, Italy, Norway, Russia, Sweden, the Netherlands, the United Kingdom and the United States.
From the Conference’s inception, its members have worked toward making this “gathering of the Companions of the Book” to become more and more just that — a gathering of people from all over the world who come together for the purpose of “fathoming the gist” of Gurdjieff‘s writings, of sharing our insights and experiences, our questions, and our efforts to understand and grow into becoming remarkable men and women.
The final session of the conference on Sunday morning, traditionally entitled “Where do we go from here?,” provided an opportunity to discuss the achievements of the conference and the challenges facing its future editions.
