Alaska Native Games and How to Play Them (Snowy Owl)
by Tricia Nuyaqik Brown Joni Kitmiiq SpiessThe athletes of the Alaska Native games aren’t just returning to their roots. They’ve never left them. In this beautifully illustrated book, readers learn the history of twenty-five Native games that have been handed down through generations, how each one relates to the subsistence lifestyle, and how you can try them yourself, regardless of where you live. As Tricia Nuyaqik Brown shows, even though today’s competitions are a big media event in Alaska, the games themselves are really no different from those of long ago. Ancestral communities once pitted their strongest, their most agile, their fastest men and women against those from neighboring villages or tribal groups. Those games never died, but rather than gathering in a sod meeting place, competitions are now held in gyms and arenas. Each game today can be linked to some aspect of surviving in a harsh environment, of drawing sustenance from the land and sea. From the Seal Hop to the Bench Reach to the Four-Man Carry, these ancient games still require athletes to be in top physical condition and possess sharp mental focus. They hold dear the traditional Native values of honoring the elders, responsibility to tribe, sportsmanship, humor, patience, and hunter success. This book offers an engaging introduction to these games and their history, inviting people to jump in and try them for themselves!

Resiliencia
by Tricia MorrisonPrefacio En diciembre de 2017, me quedé oficialmente desempleado, así que decidí que haría enseñanza de inglés independiente a tiempo parcial. Esto significaba automáticamente que dependería del Sistema de Asistencia Social del Gobierno alemán para sobrevivir, ya que no ganaría suficiente dinero para vivir. Esta situación causó que muchas emociones me envolvieran, pero la más dominante de estas emociones fue un sentimiento de atrapamiento, ya que me había declarado independiente del sistema de ayuda social dos años antes. Por lo tanto, sentí que mi vida retrocedía en lugar de progresar. Esta situación me obligó a cuestionar el núcleo de mi existencia. ¿Por qué me fui de Jamaica? ¿Por qué he estudiado durante tantos años? ¿Por qué creo en Dios? ¿Cuál es el propósito de mi vida? La verdad es que me sentí frustrado, enojado y enojado. Siempre he sido un "buen deporte", un ciudadano modelo en Jamaica, un buen inmigrante en Berlín, un gran trabajador, libre de drogas, libre de enfermedades, útil, esperanzado, además de un miembro activo y colaborador de mi comunidad y sociedad. Para colmo, he hecho todo lo que el sistema alemán requiere para que una persona se convierta en un miembro integrado de la sociedad. Entonces, ¿qué estaba pasando y por qué me sentí atrapado? Una cosa era segura; No podía permanecer en un estado de frustración e ira. Esto eventualmente habría llevado a un montón de otras emociones negativas y quejas, que definitivamente no traerían ayuda ni me impulsarían. Así que tuve que sacarme de ese estado.
Resilienza

In ciascun capitolo mi soffermerò sulle lezioni che ho imparato e sui miei pensieri. Le lezioni forniscono al lettore modi utili per esercitare e trovare la resilienza nella propria vita, mentre i pensieri stimolano una riflessione profonda con cui il lettore avrà l’opportunità di sviluppare la propria opinione riguardo i fatti illustrati.
Jews and Anti-Judaism in Esther and the Church
by Tricia MillerThe biblical book of Esther records an account of Jewish resistance to attempted genocide in the setting of the Persian Empire. According to the text, Jews were targeted for annihilation simply because of their Jewish identity. However, the story also reports that they were allowed to defend themselves against anyone who sought to kill them. In the context of attempted genocide, the message of Esther addresses a timeless and universal issue of justice - that humans have the right and responsibility to defend themselves against those who intend to murder. 'Jews and Anti-Judaism in Esther and the Church' shows how the anti-Judaism that is a central feature of Esther relates to the contemporary issue of the contested legitimacy of the State of Israel as part of the ongoing Arab-Israeli conflict. In her outstanding book, Dr. Tricia Miller uses an academic approach to demonstrate the relationship of historic theology to current events concerning Israel for the purpose of encouraging Christians to support Israel's right to exist and defend itself against those who seek its destruction.
Trust in Experience: Transferable Learning for Primary Care Trusts
by Geoff Meads Tricia MeadsPrimary Care Trusts are a flagship initiative of government policy for modernising the NHS. The new requirement for frontline healthcare professionals to work together stretches across both community care and public health, and as a result traditional boundaries are being blurred and new local roles and resources are emerging right across the primary care sector. This book draws practical lessons for Primary Care Trusts from applied research and development programmes in other parts of the NHS, other parts of the public sector, parallel developments in the private sector and relevant international experience. With contributions from the Health Management Group and its associates, this book provides a comprehensive approach and practical guidance. It includes new specific models for local development on clinical governance, evidence-based medicine, use of applied health services research, social services collaboration, new organisational partnerships, public health alliances, community hospital usage and managed care. Trust in Experience will enable readers to create PCTs as their own organisations and not simply as local agents of central policy, and perceive changes as positive opportunities whilst recognising the risks involved.
