Tupac Shakur ::the authorized biography /
No full text"The first and only Estate-authorized biography of the legendary artist, Tupac Shakur, a moving exploration of his life and powerful legacy, fully illustrated with photos, mementos, handwritten poetry, musings, and more. Tupac Shakur is one of the greatest and most controversial artists of all time. More than a quarter of a century after his tragic death in 1996 at the age of just twenty-five, he continues to be one of the most misunderstood, complicated and prolific figures in modern history. Tupac's unapologetic lyrics, for which he was villainized by many at the time, read in these pages as prophecy. His cry of outrage in a country that repeatedly told Black men and women that their lives did not matter, continues to inspire his fans around the world. In Tupac Shakur, author and screenwriter Staci Robinson--who knew Tupac as a young man and who was entrusted by his mother, Afeni Shakur, to write his biography--peels back the myths and unpacks the complexities that have shadowed Tupac's existence. With exclusive access to his private notebooks, letters, unpublished lyrics and uncensored conversations with those who knew and loved him best, Robinson tells a powerful story of a life defined by politics and art, and a man driven by equal parts brilliance and impulsiveness. It is a story of a mother and son bound together by a love for each other and for their people, and the relationship that endured through their darkest times. It is a political story that begins in the whirlwind of the 60's Civil Rights Movement, and takes you through a young artist's awakening to rage and purpose in the nineties era of Rodney King. It is a story of dizzying success and its devastating consequences. And, of course, it is the story of his music, his timeless message that will never die as it continues to touch and inspire past, present and future generations"-

Blogging and blooks: Communal authorship in a contemporary context
No full textThe motivations behind the evolution of the blog to book vary from economic aspirations to a need for further fame to editors seizing an opportunity of publishing an author with a ready-made audience. I argue another motivation may be at work: blogging authors may view the switch into the less fluid medium of the print text as an attempt to reassert authorial control
An analysis of the attitudes of regular and special education professionals toward inclusion, 1998
No full textThe primary focus of this study was to examine regular educators' and exceptional educators' attitudes toward the inclusion of special needs students in regular education settings. The study involved 8 regular education teachers and 8 special education teachers from Dekalb County, Fulton County and Atlanta Public Schools. All of the subjects were enrolled in graduate school at Clark Atlanta University. The investigation utilized the Attitude Toward Inclusive Education Scale (ATIES). The scale contains sixteen items describing social, physical, academic and behavioral problems that may adversely affect functioning in the classroom. ATIES was utilized in seeking the answers to the following hypotheses: 1. Regular education teachers have negative attitudes toward including students with disabilities in their classrooms. 2. Special educators do not have negative attitudes toward inclusion. The conclusions drawn from the findings suggest that regular educators' perception of inclusion is not negative. The results of this study clearly show that many teachers agreed with the majority of the questions on the ATIES Scale
Assessing the life and work of Jean Childs Young: educator-activist, 1933-1994, 2007
No full textThis study examines the life of Jean Childs Young as an educator-activist by chronicling her experiences and documenting her contributions. Young was a black woman from the South whose marriage to renown civil rights leader, Reverend Andrew Young, Jr., did not impede nor eclipse her own desire to achieve social justice. Jean Childs Young is among the countless number of black women whose lives have been overshadowed and whose contributions have largely gone unrecognized in United States and African-American history. A principal goal of this study, therefore, is to expand the lens of African-American women's history. Specifically, it focuses on the lesser known dimensions in the life of Jean Young and the manner in which she drew upon a network of resources in favor of the race, in general, and children and women, in particular. Among the many themes that underline black women's history, three are central to this research. The unique and creative manner in which African-American women approach life, the strong emphasis on community, and the high value placed upon education are ubiquitous ideas that permeate both the discipline and this thesis. This study was based on certain factors that contributed to the development of Mrs. Young as an educator-activist. Among them wffre her early experiences as a black girl from the South, her strong educational foundation, and her ultimate belief that children and women are critical contributors to the achievement of a truly democratic society. An historical approach was used to assess Young's life. In addition to utilizing existing primary source material, oral interviews were conducted with her family, friends, colleagues, and co-activists. The Jean Young Collection, housed at the Auburn-Avenue Research Library on African-American Culture and History, was a key source in ascertaining information and facts about Young's life as an educator-activist. The conclusions drawn from this study support that Jean Childs Young was a persistent and resourceful advocate for social justice in her own right; she labored to achieve universal education for children and equal access for women. Mrs. Young learned certain habits and skills through the examples of her foremothers. This study demonstrates the ways that she continued this legacy by taking action based upon her own cognizance of the broader issues during her time. The history of Jean Childs Young comprises one of the many chapters in the anthology of black women's history. Furthermore, in the continuity of the rich legacy of African-American women, Mrs. Young's life serves as an exemplary paradigm for future activists

Using positive matrix factorization to investigate microbial dechlorination of contaminants in groundwater
No full textMonitoring data regarding aqueous groundwater concentrations of chlorinated benzenes, chlorinated ethenes and halomethanes as well as ancillary parameters (such as geochemical, nutrient and field data) have been collected from various wells at the Chambers Works site for over two decades. In effort to make use of this investment we applied a sophisticated statistical analysis to the data to elucidate evidence of potential degradation processes that these chemicals may undergo in the subsurface. Halogenated organic compounds are subject to various chemical, physical and biological forces and can undergo chemical reactions and transformations. Positive matrix factorization (PMF) was applied to the monitoring data onsite and has proven useful in characterizing different locations and revealing microbial degradation processes resulting, in distinct fingerprints for each organohalide family explored in this work. PMF resolved three factors in the chlorinated benzenes (Chapter 2), chlorinated ethenes (Chapter 3), and halomethanes (Chapter 4) groundwater datasets. In Chapter 2, for the chlorinated benzene dataset, one factor represents a source of 1,2-dichlorobenzene and the other two factors represent dechlorination, where one factor represents a more advanced dechlorination regime than the other. In Chapter 3, for the chlorinated ethenes dataset, one factor represents a source of tetrachloroethene and trichloroethene. Of the three resolved factors in the chloroethenes dataset, two factors represent stages of dechlorination in which one factor represents a more advanced dechlorination regime than the next. Finally, in Chapter 4, PMF resolved three factors in the halomethane dataset where two factors represent sources of carbon tetrachloride and chloroform and one factor represents dechlorination.Ph.D.Includes bibliographical referencesby Staci L.
