Each chapter begins with a story of the experience of HIV/AIDS.
Based on the story, a particular aspect of living with HIV/AIDS is
discussed. The reader is encouraged to reflect on how these issues
challenge us and carry the seeds of hope. Two or three texts are
taken from the spiritual and religious traditions of the world, to
deepen the reflection. Each chapter culminates in suggestions for
positive, practical action for the whole school and for the
classroom. Thus the chapters are structured according to the Look,
Judge, Act method.
This practical yet cutting-edge Handbook includes both established
and innovative methods for studying identity in management,
organisations, and cognate fields. Incorporating a breadth of
narrative, visual, ethnographic and embodied methods, as well as
ways for analysing naturally occurring data, this Handbook offers
exciting new interdisciplinary perspectives on the study of
identity in and around organisations. Notions of identity have
gained much momentum in organisation and management studies over
the past 20 years, however, identity scholars tend to rely on a
limited set of methods in their research. Looking beyond narrow
disciplinary boundaries, the Handbook draws on ideas from
management studies, anthropology, sociology, psychology, and the
arts. With cutting-edge methods on the various facets and dynamics
of identity, it is integral reading for the future progress of
reflexive and dialogical social constructions for studying
identity. This refreshing Handbook will be valuable to scholars and
students from a variety of disciplines including business and
management, psychology and sociology, but with a common interest in
studying identity in and around organisations. With consistent
practical methodology, consultants, facilitators and management
practitioners, who aim to develop identities among individuals,
groups, and organisations will also benefit widely from this.
Drawing on research from diverse thinkers in urban planning and the
built environment, this Handbook articulates the cutting edge of
contemporary understandings about power and its impact on planning.
It identifies the current state of knowledge about planning and
power, as well as emerging trajectories within this field of
research. This comprehensive Handbook examines power relations in
late capitalism and provides normative suggestions on how power
might be utilised in planning. Chapters analyse the work of
fundamental theoretical thinkers, including Marx, Foucault,
Deleuze, and Lacan, as well as the history and practice of
abolitionist housing justice in the United States, feminist and
queer perspectives on planning and power, and the emerging
autonomous Smart City. It demonstrates the effects of power within
planning and the ways in which individuals, communities, and
organisations are shaped and impacted positively and negatively by
its practices. With case studies from a range of different
geopolitical regions, this stimulating Handbook will be essential
reading for students and scholars of architecture, community
development, geography, urban and regional planning, urban design,
and urban studies. It will also be beneficial for practitioners of
planning and the built environment.
Henry Winkler, launched into prominence by his role as 'The Fonz'
in the beloved Happy Days, has transcended the role that made him
who he is. Brilliant, funny, and widely-regarded as the nicest man
in Hollywood (though he would be the first to tell you that it’s
simply not the case, he’s really just grateful to be here), Henry
shares in this achingly vulnerable memoir the disheartening truth
of his childhood, the difficulties of a life with severe dyslexia,
the pressures of a role that takes on a life of its own, and the
path forward once your wildest dream seems behind you. Since the
glorious era of Happy Days fame, Henry has endeared himself to a
new generation with roles in such adored shows as Arrested
Development, Parks and Recreation, and Barry, where he’s revealed
himself as an actor with immense depth and pathos, a departure from
the period of his life when he was so distinctly typecast as 'The
Fonz', he could hardly find work. Filled with profound heart,
charm, and self-deprecating humor, Being Henry is a memoir about so
much more than a life in Hollywood and the curse of stardom. It is
a meaningful testament to the power of sharing truth and kindness
and of finding fulfillment within yourself.

An “extraordinarily brilliant†and “pleasurably naughtyâ€
(André Aciman) investigation into the Shakespeare authorship
question, exploring how doubting that William Shakespeare wrote his
plays became an act of blasphemy…and who the Bard might really
be. The theory that Shakespeare may not have written the works that
bear his name is the most horrible, unspeakable subject in the
history of English literature. Scholars admit that the Bard’s
biography is a “black hole,†yet to publicly question the
identity of the god of English literature is unacceptable, even
(some say) “immoral.†In Shakespeare Was a Woman and Other
Heresies, journalist and literary critic Elizabeth Winkler sets out
to probe the origins of this literary taboo. Whisking you from
London to Stratford-Upon-Avon to Washington, DC, she pulls back the
curtain to show how the forces of nationalism and empire, religion
and mythmaking, gender and class have shaped our admiration for
Shakespeare across the centuries. As she considers the writers and
thinkers—from Walt Whitman to Sigmund Freud to Supreme Court
justices—who have grappled with the riddle of the plays’
origins, she explores who may perhaps have been hiding behind his
name. A forgotten woman? A disgraced aristocrat? A government spy?
Hovering over the mystery are Shakespeare’s plays themselves,
with their love for mistaken identities, disguises, and things
never quite being what they seem. As she interviews scholars and
skeptics, Winkler’s interest turns to the larger problem of
historical truth—and of how human imperfections (bias, blindness,
subjectivity) shape our construction of the past. History is a
story, and the story we find may depend on the story we’re
looking for. “Lively†(The Washington Post), “fascinatingâ€
(Amanda Foreman), and “intrepid†(Stacy Schiff), Shakespeare
Was a Woman and Other Heresies will forever change how you think of
Shakespeare…and of how we as a society decide what’s up for
debate and what’s just nonsense, just heresy.

Mathematical modelling of activated sludge systems is used widely
for plant design, optimisation, training, controller design and
research. The quality of simulation studies varies depending on the
project objectives, finances and expertise available. Consideration
has to be given to the model accuracy and the amount of time
required carrying out a simulation study to produce the desired
accuracy. Inconsistent approaches and insufficient documentation
make quality assessment and comparison of simulation results
difficult or almost impossible. A general framework for the
application of activated sludge models is needed in order to
overcome these obstacles. The genesis of the Good Modelling
Practice (GMP) Task Group lies in a workshop held at the 4th IWA
World Water Congress in Marrakech, Morocco where members of
research groups active in wastewater treatment modelling came
together to develop plans to synthesize the best practices of
modellers from all over the world. The most cited protocols were
included in the work, amongst others from: HSG (Hochschulgruppe),
STOWA, BIOMATH and WERF. The goal of the group is to set up an
internationally accepted framework to deal with the ASM type models
in practice. This framework shall make modelling more
straightforward and systematic to use especially for practitioners
and consultants. Additionally, it shall help to define quality
levels for simulation results, a procedure to assess this quality
and to assist in the proper use of the models. The framework will
describe a methodology for goal-oriented application of activated
sludge models demonstrated by means of a concise guideline about
the procedure of a simulation study and some illustrative case
studies. The case studies shall give examples for the required data
quality and quantity and the effort for calibration/validation with
respect to a defined goal. The final report will include an
extended appendix with additional information and details of
methodologies. Additional features in Guidelines for Using
Activated Sludge Models include a chapter on modelling industrial
wastewater, an overview on the history, current practice and future
of activated sludge modelling and several explanatory case studies.
It can be used as an introductory book to learn about Good
Modelling Practice (GMP) in activated sludge modelling and will be
of special interest for process engineers who have no prior
knowledge of modelling or for lecturers who need a textbook for
their students. The STR can also be used as a modelling reference
book and includes an extended appendix with additional information
and details of methodologies. Scientific and Technical Report No.

Friedrich Froebel, the ‘father of kindergarten’, is one of the
most influential pedagogues of the 19th century. However,
relatively little is known about his life, his successes and
failures, and his personal relationships. Based on many
untranslated and unknown letters, this new biography presents
Froebel as a brilliant but also flawed man. Beginning with his
childhood and the early death of his mother, as well as his
difficult relationship with his father and stepmother, we see the
early seeds of Froebel’s interest in children and the training of
early childhood practitioners. While Froebel lacked basic academic
knowledge due to his poor early education, he was able to overcome
these deficits and found an educational institute, and develop
ground-breaking educational theories about play and pedagogy. He
authored multiple books, including his most famous work The
Education of Man. The focus of this book, though, is not on
Froebel’s educational theories but on his complicated
relationships with his family, the Keilhau community, and the
mother of one of his pupils, Caroline von Holzhausen, whom he
called the “rune of his lifeâ€. After many personal and
professional disappointments, Froebel finally came up with the idea
that made him famous until today: kindergarten. In the last decade
of his life, he became a salesman of this new idea and worked
tirelessly for the establishment of the kindergarten movement.
However, when the Prussian government banned kindergarten shortly
before his death, Froebel was broken – even if kindergarten lives
until today.
