Students and parents often have high expectations of the Christian
college experience. They imagine professors who are spiritual
mentors, roommates who are spiritual kin, and a host of other ideal
relationships and environments which will combine to boost their
growth to maturity. The truth is that a Christian college, like any
other college or university, is an exciting, unpredictable and
scary place. That's why Keith Anderson has put together this
essential backpack companion. Including seasoned and
straightforward advice on how to maintain a healthy spiritual life,
building friendships and finding community, the dos and don'ts of
dating, how to get involved in a new church, and much more, What
They Don't Always Teach You at a Christian College will help
students make the most of their college days.
Six years ago, the original Click2Save's breakthrough introduction
to adopting social media for ministry energized outreach and was
embraced across denominations by seminaries and churches, as well
as by both graduate and undergraduate religious studies and
theology programs. But six years is a long time in the digital
world, so now it's time for a reboot! Revised and updated,
Click2Save REBOOT covers the increasing sophistication and
importance of mobile computing and leads readers through the
changes and additions to social media platforms that are currently
shaping how we communicate with, connect with-and can offer
Christ-centered care to-one another: Facebook and Twitter, at the
center of the first edition, have changed dramatically. Instagram,
Pinterest, Snapchat, etc. have made images and video much more
central. Innovative, often sophisticated voices are overtaking the
blog form. Podcasting has become elegant and accessible to the
masses through SoundCloud and similar hosting platforms, while
Pokemon Go popularized augmented reality-even sometimes leading
players into churchyards in their hunt. From their research and
personal experience, the authors offer guidance on coping with-and
getting the most out of-this evolving revolution.
As older adults and their families opt out of nursing homes, a
range of home and community-based services (HCBS) have risen up to
provide care. HCBS span platforms and approaches, from home health
care to assisted living to community-based hospice to adult day
services. These models are, for most, preferable to nursing homes
and allow older adults to "age in place"-live longer in their own
homes and communities. Home- and Community-Based Services for Older
Adults examines the existing and emerging models of HCBS, including
the history, theory, research, policy, and practices across care
settings. Emphasizing the multidisciplinary and interprofessional
practice approaches used to deliver care, this book is an essential
learning tool for students interested in medicine, nursing, social
work, allied health professions, case management, health care
administration, and gerontology. As the population of older adults
grows, the authors ask, how can we best meet the needs of older
adults and their families in the most effective, cost-conscious way
while honoring their care choices?
Rapid cultural and technological changes through the last two
decades have changed the context for ministry. The development of
digital social media and advances in affordable, mobile
technologies have dramatically changed the way most people interact
with others, communicate, organize, and participate in communities.
The Digital Cathedral is a warm embrace of the rich traditions of
Christianity, especially the recovery of the pre-modern sense of
cathedral, which encompassed the depth and breadth of daily life
within the physical and imaginative landscape of the church. It is
for anyone who seeks to effectively minister in a
digitally-integrated world, and who wishes to embody the networked,
relational, and incarnational characteristics of that ministry.
The price-earnings ratio, or P/E, is the most commonly quoted
investment statistic, but have you ever considered what it actually
means? For most people it's a shorthand way of deciding how highly
the market regards a company, with investors prepared to overpay
for earnings from a high-P/E 'glamour' stock as opposed to a
low-P/E 'value' stock. However, academics have known since 1960
that the opposite is true: value stocks outperform glamour stocks
consistently over decades. A company with a low P/E may have been
marked down for no readily apparent reason and thus could represent
an attractive value investment for those with the patience to wait
while the market re-values it. However, the P/E is a
backward-looking measure and just because the company earned GBP1
per share last year it doesn't necessarily mean it will earn
anything like that in the foreseeable future. Or, a low P/E can
mean a company is deservedly cheap because it is in financial
difficulty - in this case the company is likely to become cheaper
yet or even go into administration. This book is a practical guide
to how you can adjust and improve the price-earnings ratio and use
it, alongside other financial ratios, to run against the crowd and
boost your stock returns.

The history of the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA)
officially begins in 1919. However, the university had its real
beginnings as the Los Angles State Normal School. This book aims to
correct the historical misperception of the founding of UCLA.
The Glasgow District Subway was second only to London in the UK and
was the third underground system to be built anywhere in the world.
Originally operated as a cable railway, it was later electrified
and the rolling stock from that era continued to be used until it
had become very dilapidated by the 1970s. Following a major
modernization programme, it is now operated by the Strathclyde
Partnership for Transport and the distinctive orange livery of the
modern trains has earned it the local nickname of 'the clockwork
orange'. The Underground is laid out as a circular route with the
trains on a continuous loop, clockwise and anti-clockwise on the
twin lines. It serves fifteen stations on both sides of the Clyde
including the ornate St Enoch. Keith Anderson traces the
development of Glasgow's Subway from its construction through its
modification and up to the present day.
