The Summer I Learned to Fly by D. Reinhardt
No full textReinhardt, Dana. The Summer I Learned to Fly. New York: Ember, 2012. Print. The enthusiastic endorsement from Markus Zusak, author of The Book Thief, on the cover of The Summer I Learned to Fly was persuasive. I picked up this coming-of-age novel with high expectations and it did not disappoint. Reinhardt’s heroine, Drew Robin Solo, aka Birdie, doesn’t have many friends and spends most of her time hanging around her mother’s cheese shop. It is 1986, the summer before Birdie begins grade eight. One night after closing the cheese shop, Drew meets a mysterious young man named Emmett Crane who eats the day-old bread and leftover cheese that Drew puts in the garbage. Drew learns the true meaning of friendship as she finds out who Emmett is, why he is there, and the sacrifices she is willing to make on his behalf. Over the course of the summer, Drew’s friendship with Emmett and his eclectic group of friends develops and when tragedy strikes, Drew must also cope with changing relationships with her Mom and her co-worker and surfer dude, Nick. Reinhardt’s characters, both teen and adult, are flawed, fully drawn, and gloriously human. Drew’s emotional progression throughout the novel is encapsulated in a quiet and profound way: “I didn’t want to be the sort of friend who dashes dreams. Friends, I was pretty sure, lift their friends up; they don’t weigh them down like a sack full of stones.” The Summer I Learned to Fly is a heart-warming and worthy reminder of the choice we all have: to weigh each other down, or to lift each other up. It is highly recommended for a broad audience, but for young girls this book will particularly resonate. Highly Recommended: 4 out of 4 starsReviewer: Tami Oliphant Tami Oliphant is an assistant professor at the School of Library and Information Studies at the University of Alberta

Managing Anxiety in Autism: Adolescent Students with High-functioning Autism Through the use of Cognitive Behavior Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, and Dialectical Behavior Therapy
No full textThe author of this study designed the manual, “Managing Anxiety,” to guide educators in addressing the needs of students with high-functioning autism and comorbid anxiety, through the implementation of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), and Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT). According to recent research data, students with high-functioning autism are often found to have comorbid anxiety (Simonoff, Charman, Chandler, Loucas & Baird, 2008). The range of incidence of anxiety disorders found in children who have autism spectrum disorders (ASD) is between 11% and 84% (White, Oswald, Ollendick, & Scahill, 2009). Students with autism, as well as students in general education settings, report a decrease in anxious thoughts and actions following implementation of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, and Dialectical Behavior Therapy in their lives (Barrett, Duffy, Dadds, & Rapee, 2001; Bodden, Bogles, Nauta, Haan, Rigrose, Appelboom, Brinkman, Appelboom-Geerts, 2008; Kendall, Hudson, Gosch, Flannery-Schroeder, & Suveg, 2008; Ost, 2014; Neacsiu, Eberle, Kramer, Wiesmann, & Linehan, 2014; Ritschel, Cheavens, & Nelson, 2012; Swain, Hancock, Hainsworth, & Bowman, 2013). The development of this project focused on four concepts within the realm of CBT, ACT, and DBT: recognizing anxiety symptoms, acceptance, coping strategies, and exposure exercises. This manual contains several lessons that incorporate collaborative activities such as role-play and visualization exercises. Homework and assessments were also embedded within the lessons in order to provide reinforcement. This manual gives students the tools needed to cope with the anxiety that results from the struggles that come with having autism. Throughout the design of this project, the author obtained thorough evidence on the impact of CBT, ACT, and DBT strategies when used with students who have autism and comorbid anxiety. By using these evidence-based strategies with the guidance of an educator, students develop practical skills to manage their anxiety in and outside of the classroom
The Hangman in the Mirror by K. Cayley
No full textCayley, Kate. The Hangman in the Mirror. Toronto, ON: Annick Press, 2011. Print. The Hangman in the Mirror is a fictionalized biography recounting the strange case of Françoise Laurent. The plot might rightly be criticized as ludicrous or fantastical if it were not based on fact. In 1751, a young woman living in New France, Françoise Laurent is sentenced to hang for stealing a pair of gloves from her aristocratic mistress. Other than letters of annulment, a pardon, or remission (none of which were forthcoming in Françoise’s case), the only way a woman could avoid the noose was to marry the hangman. At the time of Françoise’s sentence, the position of hangman was vacant. Conveniently, Françoise’s neighbour in prison, Jean Corolère, is single and serving a sentence for duelling. In August 1751, Jean Corolère petitions to be released from prison to serve as hangman. His petition is accepted and he becomes both the hangman and husband to Françoise, saving her from the gallows. Out of these bare facts, author Cayley has fictionalized Françoise’s life story and has provided a believable, detailed, and compelling portrait of Montreal in the mid-18th century. Life is not easy and it is understandable that the characters who populate the pages of The Hangman are tough and hard. While Françoise was “driven by desperation and unimaginable hardship,” it is difficult to root for Françoise because she is portrayed as proud, mean-spirited, and selfish. Ultimately, Jean, not Françoise, is the hero of the story. Our understanding of Françoise Laurent’s life and motivations for her crime and her relationship with Jean is incomplete. The author is commended for bringing this intriguing tale into public consciousness and the novel is recommended especially for providing a fascinating glimpse into Canadian history.

Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) mempunyai 17 tujuan salah satu tujuannya yaitu tujuan ke-4 yaitu pendidikan berkualitas. Pendidikan sebagai hal yang utama dan patut untuk diperhatikan dalam strategi pembangunan suatu daerah dan sudah semestinya menjadi salah satu hal mendasar yang perlu ditingkatkan dan dibangun. Tingkat pendidikan yang minim menjadikan sebuah bangsa memiliki tingkat kebodohan yang besar, oleh karena itu Indonesia harus meningkatkan pembangunan infrastruktur dan sistem pendidikan, terlebih lagi di wilayah perbatasan. Indonesia memiliki wilayah yang langsung berbatasan dengan Papua Nugini (PNG) batas-batas tersebut meliputi wilayah lautan dan daratan. Sesuai dengan data Badan Pengelolaan Perbatasan Provinsi Papua, wilayah perbatasan RI-PNG meliputi wilayah Kota Jayapura, Kabupaten Keerom, Kabupaten Jayapura, Kabupaten Supiori, Kabupaten Pegunungan Bintang, Kabupaten Digul, dan Kabupaten Merauke. Salah satu wilayah perbatasan RI-PNG yang akan dibahas oleh penulis adalah wilayah kota Jayapura yaitu Distrik Muara Tami. Dalam melakukan penelitian, penulis menerapkan metode pendekatan kualitatif untuk menelusuri faktafakta yang ada menjadi lebih dalam dengan jenis penelitian deskriptif-eksplanasi untuk menggali lebih dalam lagi. Temuan dari penelitian ini menghasilkan strategi pembangunan sektor pendidikan di Distrik Muara Tami sampai saat ini belum sepenuhnya dicapai dengan baik, tetapi ada sebagian target yang sudah mengalami kemajuan dalam hal ini berupa renovasi gedung, menyediakan tenaga pendidik yang kompeten, dan sarana-prasarana yang cukup.The purpose of this research is to look at the development strategy in the education sector in the RI-PNG border area in the Muara Tami district, Jayapura City in 2019-2020. In any country, education plays an important role in social and economic development. Therefore, the global agenda on education has significant importance for many countries. The Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) have 17 goals, one of which is the 4th goal, namely quality education. Education is the main thing and deserves attention in the development strategy of a region and should be one of the basic things that needs to be improved and developed. A minimal level of education makes a nation have a high level of ignorance; therefore, Indonesia must improve the development of infrastructure and the education system, especially in border areas. Indonesia has an area directly adjacent to Papua New Guinea (PNG) these boundaries include sea and land areas. According to data from the Papua Province Border Management Agency, the RI-PNG border areas cover the areas of Jayapura City, Keerom Regency, Jayapura Regency, Supiori Regency, Gunung Bintang Regency, Digul Regency and Merauke Regency. One of the RI-PNG border areas that the author will discuss is the area of the city of Jayapura, namely the Muara Tami District. In conducting research, the authors apply a qualitative approach to explore the facts that exist deeper with the type of descriptive-explanatory research to dig deeper. The findings from this study show that the development strategy for the education sector in Muara Tami District has not been fully achieved so far, but there are some targets that have progressed in this regard in the form of building renovations, providing competent teaching staff, and adequate infrastructure
Ambiguity and Social Interaction
No full textWe present a non-technical account of ambiguity in strategic games and show how it may be applied to economics and social sciences. Optimistic and pessimistic responses to ambiguity are formally modelled. We show that pessimism has the effect of increasing (decreasing)equilibrium prices under Cournot (Bertrand) competition. In addition the effects of ambiguity on peace-making are examined. It is shown that ambiguity may select equilibria in coordination games with multiple equilibria. Some comparative statics results are derived for the impact of ambiguity in games with strategic complements.
