Oil and Water: Media Lessons from Hurricane Katrina and the Deepwater Horizon Disaster

Along the Gulf Coast, history is often referenced as pre-Katrina or post-Katrina. However, the natural disaster that appalled the world in 2005 has been joined by another catastrophe, this one man-made―the greatest environmental and maritime accident of all time, the Deepwater Horizon Oil Spill. In less than five years, the Gulf Coast has experienced two colossal disasters, very different, yet very similar. And these two equally complex crises have resulted in a steep learning curve for all, but especially the journalists covering these enduring stories.In Oil and Water, the authors show how Katrina journalists have reluctantly had to transform into oil spill journalists. The authors look at this process from the viewpoints not only of the journalists, but also of the public and of the scientific community. This book assesses the quality of journalism and the effects that quality may have on the public. The authors argue that regardless of the type of journalism involved or the immensity of the events covered, successful reportage still depends on the fundamentals of journalism and the importance of following these tenets consistently in a crisis atmosphere, especially when confronted with enduring crises that are just years apart.

It’s these proverbial unlovable parts that make loving all of him so tough. But imagine if you let go of your itch to fix, judge, improve, or control your partner. Imagine if you replaced judgement with compassion and empathy. Tremendous empowerment and liberation come from loving someone—and being loved—for who we really are. This practice is called Radical Acceptance. Whether you’re looking for Mr. Right or are already with him, this is your powerful five-step guide to attaining life’s ultimate prize: unconditional love. You’ll learn how to increase your emotional resilience, feel more confident, determine whether you’re settling, quiet those doubt-filled voices in your head, get out of that endless cycle of dead-end dates, reduce conflict, and build a deeply fulfilling, affirming relationship—all through highly actionable advice.

Compelling and informative teachings by the most influential female Buddhist teachers on a wide range of topics. Buddhism began to take root in the West at just the same time that women’s voices were arising to find expression here—after millennia of being relegated to the background. If that was a coincidence, it was an auspicious one, for the women who emerged as Buddhist teachers have been among the most articulate of Dharma-communicators—and they remain an indelible feature of Western Buddhism as the practice matures here. The remarkable range of their teaching is showcased in this anthology. The pieces featured touch on the topics that are at the heart of our lives—relationships, uncertainty, love, parenting, food, stress, mortality, living fully, and social responsibility. These approachable, engaging teachings illuminate Buddhist concepts and practices, such as meditation, tonglen, lovingkindness, cultivating gratitude, and deep relaxation. The book contains wisdom from such well-known and respected contemporary Buddhist teachers as Pema Chödrön, Ayya Khema, Sharon Salzberg, Toni Packer, Maurine Stuart, Karen Maezen Miller, Khandro Rinpoche, Jan Chozen Bays, Sister Chan Khong, Sylvia Boorstein, Pat Enkyo O’Hara, Darlene Cohen, Joanna Macy, Bonnie Myotai Treace, Tsultrim Allione, Tenzin Palmo, Tara Brach, Joan Sutherland, Carolyn Rose Gimian, Joan Halifax, and Charlotte Joko Beck.

Along the Gulf Coast, history is often referenced as pre-Katrina or post-Katrina. However, the natural disaster that appalled the world in 2005 has been joined by another catastrophe, this one man-made--the greatest environmental and maritime accident of all time, the Deepwater Horizon Oil Spill. In less than five years, the Gulf Coast has experienced two colossal disasters, very different, yet very similar. And these two equally complex crises have resulted in a steep learning curve for all, but especially the journalists covering these enduring stories.
In Oil and Water, the authors explore the media-fed experiences, the visuals and narratives associated with both disasters. Katrina journalists have reluctantly had to transform into oil spill journalists. The authors look at this process of growth from the viewpoints not only of the journalists, but also of the public and of the scientific community. Through a detailed analysis of the journalists' content, the authors tackle significant questions. This book assesses the quality of journalism and the effects that quality may have on the public. The authors argue that regardless of the type of journalism involved or the immensity of the events covered, successful reportage still depends on the fundamentals of journalism and the importance of following these tenets consistently in a crisis atmosphere, especially when confronted with enduring crises that are just years apart.

Emmanuel: Satisfying the Thirsty Soul

Emmanuel: Satisfying the Thirsty Soul "Makes a great Bible Study", It is an uplifting educational book to help the reader understand the complexities of the Bible, and apply them to their daily life. It’s the third book written by Andrea Rose Miller, a young woman who has experienced numerous miracles in her life. The book is organized into 15 chapters with 236 individual messages, providing brilliant insight to help the reader understand the scripture, with explanations and application to contemporary issues. It was written through direct inspiration from the Holy Spirit, as Andrea has witnessed these Biblical truths first-hand through multiple miracles in her life. WHAT OTHERS SAY ABOUT THE BOOK: I have known Andrea Miller since she was in sixth grade, and she has always been a devoted disciple of our Lord Jesus. She has experienced numerous miracles in her life and now lives to bless others through her profound love and humble service to God and His children. Emmanuel is a true reflection of Andrea’s beautiful life of faith, hope and love, and her desire to draw others closer to God. Her thoughtful insights into Scripture passages are extremely inspiring, and her love for God and His children is strongly evident in her book. By adding her own personal reflections, Andrea encourages the readers to walk our Christian journey to our Heavenly Kingdom with the Lord Jesus, holy heroes, and saints. Emmanuel is a splendid gift to the readers, a precious treasure of a spiritually uplifting book. May God use Andrea’s book to draw the readers closer to Jesus, our Lord, and Savior.—Sr. Tresa Jose, FCC. Andrea Miller has always put others and their challenges ahead of her own. While her own have been formidable, they convinced her at an early age that her life was in the hands of her Savior. She seems to have been guided by God. Andrea’s knowledge of the Bible is awesome, but her ability to explain the meaning of the Bible’s words to touch the hearts of everyday people is her talent. We are inspired by the wisdom she dis-plays…and she tells us, “They are not my words; they are God’s word.”She walks the talk of “loving her neighbors” by raising funds for those less fortunate and by sharing her wisdom through this book of Bible-based devotionals. This book is a gift for everyone who would like to walk with Andrea and her God.She is a treasure for us.—Chip & Nancy Roach. Andrea Miller is an amazing young woman. She reads Scripture with child-like faith but then goes deeper, asks questions, studies, seeking deeper meaning. Her insights are often astounding. She has an earnest-ness to learn all she can about God, then lives that out with refreshing openness and vulnerability. She does not pretend to have all the answers; she seeks all the answers. Andrea’s writings are a gift to anyone who also seeks insight and deeper meaning. She is honest and authentic; truly a gifted child of God with a higher purpose. This book is an invitation to take a walk with the Lord.You will seek me and find me when you seek me with all your heart. —Jeri 29:13. —Rev. Larry Marshall, Pastor, Captiva Chapel by the Sea.ABOUT THE AUTHOR: Starting at age one, Andrea has survived brain operations, epilepsy, strokes, and more. Adversity strengthened Andrea’s faith, brought her closer to God, and provided her a forum to bring hope for others.The Holy Spirit revealed to Andrea the truths the Bible sets forth to be lived throughout one’s life, which she shares in this book. Anchored in Christ, the storms in life are but mere side notes to the beautiful story God is writing.
