"I'm stuck, feel unfulfilled, I am not succeeding. I don't know where to start, I'm not sure what to fix and I really not sure what to do or which direction to take."
This dilemma can happen to us at any age – and this is when we need to find the tools to create a clearer picture about who we are, what we want and how to go about reaching our true potential.
This is the work of Linda Dirmeik, creator of Attimo – Attitude - Image – Motivation. "AIM For What You Want" is a Workbook developed and nurtured from Linda's own life experience and research, grew from her observations and concern that somewhere along the way, we lose the power to be all we can be. Negative reinforcements about who we are and what we can do – from the home, school or work environment – add layers of negativity, which seep into our attitude and approach to life. We eventually believe these thoughts, stories and attitudes and use them over and over again, eroding the courage, confidence and belief that we can be any different.
The "AIM For What You Want" workbook creates a reality (devoid of the thinking that limits our potential) around five key areas of life: our social circle, our family, our physical being our ethical being and our career/education.
Creating this reality is a powerful mechanism towards change, growth and unlocking our potential. Linda encourages moms and educators to explore these life management skills for the people whose lives they influence.
Hymni magici minime contemnendi sunt (Wilamowitz, Kl.Schr. IV 658)
Es gibt wertvolle Untersuchungen zu den griechischen magischen
Papyri, und seit 1928/31 liegt das Preisendanz'sche Corpus dieser
Texte vor, durch welches das Gebiet iibersehbar gemacht worden ist.
Man wird dennoch sagen diirfen, dass wir von einem wirklichen
Verstiindnis noch weit entfemt sind. Aus welchen AnUissen wurden
die Zeremonien vollfiihrt und die Gebete gesprochen, welche wir in
den Papyri lesen? Welchen Zweck haben die Menschen verfolgt,
welchen Empfindungen haben sie Ausdruck gegeben, als sie die
magisch-religiosen Handlungen durchfiihrten, die in den Papyri
beschrieben werden? Dies sind die Fragen, welche wir angesichts der
uns vorliegenden Texte stellen; und wir hoffen, wenigstens fiir
einen Teil von ihnen zu Antworten gekommen zu sein. In welcher
Richtung wir die Antwort suchen, wird der Leser am besten dem
einleitenden Kapitel "Drei magische Hymnen" entnehmen, in dem der
Altere der heiden Bearbeiter unser V erfahren fUr einen nicht allzu
exklusiven Kreis von Fachgenossen beschrieben hat; der Inhalt
dieses Kapitels wurde im November 1988 in Munster und im Mai 1989
in Oxford vorgetragen. In den nachfolgenden Kapiteln dieses Bandes
werden dann einige Abschnitte aus den "magischen" Papyri abgedruckt
und kommentiert, in denen Gebete vorkommen; in einigen Hillen wird
versucht, eine ungefahre Grundform des behandelten Gebets zu
rekonstruieren. Im zweiten Band sollen weitere Gebete folgen. In
diesem Buch steht also die inhaltliche Erklarung der Texte im
Vordergrund; wir bieten keine kritischen Editionen, sondern nur
Lesetexte.

The COVID-19 pandemic has impacted all aspects of human
existence-including the education sector. The pandemic has
triggered a paradigm shift in the future of education, and thus,
the current practices must transition to the "new normal." For
better or for worse, the practices and technologies used within
learning environments must drastically change in the aftermath of
the COVID-19 pandemic. Policies and Procedures for the
Implementation of Safe and Healthy Educational Environments:
Post-COVID-19 Perspectives discusses the policies and procedures
used in the implementation of safe and healthy educational
environments both during and after the COVID-19 pandemic. It shares
the best practices and presents the opportunity to learn from
educator experiences in the time of crisis. Covering topics such as
digital accessibility, healthy educational environments, and
social-emotional development, this book is essential for educators
in both K-12 and higher education settings, researchers, education
administrators, policymakers, pre-service teachers, and
academicians.
Christ Church, founded by Cardinal Wolsey in 1525, and arguably the
grandest college in the University of Oxford, has been the subject
of only one previous history. Now Judith Curthoys, the college
archivist, presents a new and fascinating account of this unique
institution - a joint foundation of college and cathedral with its
own peculiar constitution. Despite having been described as like
cream ('rich, thick and full of clots'), Christ Church has never
been just a refuge for the elite, and over the centuries it has
produced a dazzling list of famous and learned men and (since 1980)
women. We learn of its traditions and its eccentricities: from its
early emphasis on prayer and discipline to the intricacies of its
early plumbing; and from its strong associations with music,
architecture and art to its battles (both ancient and modern) with
student drunkenness. We learn too of the sometimes extraordinary
power and influence of the Dean, the college's head, and at times
of the reigning monarch too - Charles I even made it his
headquarters during the Civil War. Above all, we see not an ivory
tower, but a great institution that has survived all the
vicissitudes of English history; adapting to, and often
influencing, the constant tide of social, political, academic and
ecclesiastical change.
Growing up a Protestant in Catholic Ireland during the 1950s and
'60s had its moments... and in the coastal town of Arklow, they
were overwhelmingly good. Common struggles to make ends meet, stay
healthy and raise happy families created a spirit of community that
largely transcended any theological differences. Children played
together, adults worked, sang and drank together, and when they
went their separate ways, they did so in a spirit of equanimity. In
this engaging memoir, Richard Ruxton draws on a rich vein of
characters, their idiosyncrasies, foibles and plenty of childish
'divilment' to create a story full of Irish humour about the people
and places that coloured his young life and eased the 'duration' of
his school years. Throughout, he paints a picture of times which,
though simpler, were not without their own complications, tragedies
and triumphs, where surviving on one's wits was an art form best
kept to yourself.
