Media literacy educators have always insisted that we are both creators and receivers of media messages. The truth of this is even more apparent in today's digital environment, with children and adults alike participating in a ubiquitous, nonstop stream of social media. Clearly, students need the tools to interpret news and information critically-not just for school but for life in a "post-truth" world, where the lines blur between entertainment, information and persuasion.
Renee Hobbs demonstrates how a global perspective on contemporary propaganda enables educators to stimulate both the intellectual curiosity and the cultural sensitivities of students. Replete with classroom and online learning activities and samples of student work, Mind Over Media provides a state-of- the-art look at the theory and practice of propaganda in contemporary society and shows how to build learners' critical thinking and communication skills on topics including computational propaganda, content marketing, fake news and disinformation.
Jamie Oliver fing seine Karriere in der Küche des familieneigenen Pubs in der Nähe von Cambridge an. Nach Abschluss der Schule ging er nach London, wo er wenig später im angesagten Restaurant von Gennaro Contaldo arbeitete zusammen mit einem gewissen Tim Mälzer. Sehr bald wurde er für das Fernsehen entdeckt und hatte bereits mit Ende 20 seine eigene Kochsendung, The Naked Chef . Doch Jamie Oliver engagiert sich auch sozial. Unter anderem lag und liegt ihm sehr viel daran, Kindern und Familien den Wert von gesundem Essen zu vermitteln. Er hat die Schulküchen in England reformiert und die Regierung dazu gebracht, den Schulen für eine verbesserte Verpflegung zusätzlich über 200 Millionen Pfund zur Verfügung zu stellen. Rose Winterbottom hat alle Details aus dem Leben und Wirken von Jamie Olivers Leben zusammengetragen und eine unterhaltsame Biografie geschrieben, die ein intimes Porträt von Jamie Oliver zeichnet. Wer ist der Mann hinter dem Gutmenschen? Was motiviert ihn? Welche Pläne hat er? Ein perfektes Geschenk, nicht nur für Fans oder Hobbyköche!

We live in a world filled with sexual imagery and seduction. These influences seek to assault us at every turn. The enemy has created this battlefield in order to corrupt our minds. Regardless of where you are in life, Ten Steps will guide your through the process of protecting your mind from the temptation that surrounds us every day. Jimmy Evans exposes such things as "The Secret of Satan's Success." He'll teach you about "The Promise and Process of Biblical Meditation," and discuss "The Four Pillars of Moral Integrity." As you apply the truths from this guide, you'll be equipped to fight and win as you "Enter the Battlefield".
PRAISE FOR A MIND SET FREE: IN A DAY OF EXTREME EMPHASIS ON SEXUALITY AND SENSITIVITY: I rejoice when the concern of a gifted minister brings to the forefront the importance of purity. Jimmy Evans has approached this issue with compassion and a sincere desire to help set at liberty those who have been entangled in the web of distraction and deceit. I thank God for every attempt to help set captives free from all areas of bondage - but especially the bondage of sex, which has widespread negative effects. My earnest prayer is that God will bless the insights and help given in this book. JAMES ROBISON, President, LIFE Outreach International Fort Worth, Texas
The ability to deploy interdisciplinary theoretical perspectives that speak to interconnected global dimensions is critical if one's work is to be relevant and applicable to the emerging global-scale issues of our time. The Global Turn is a guide for students and scholars across all areas of the social sciences and humanities who wish to embark on global-studies research projects. The authors demonstrate how the global can be studied from a local perspective and vice versa. They show how global processes manifest at multiple levels-transnational, regional, national, and local-all of which are interconnected and mutually constitutive. This book takes readers through the steps of thinking like a global scholar in theoretical, methodological, and practical terms, and it explains the implications of global perspectives for research design.

While eating many meals may not rev up your metabolism or make you burn fat, experts say it could help you in other ways.The longer you wait between meals, the hungrier you get, and then you're more likely to overeat."After about 3 hours without food, blood sugar begins to fall. And after 4 hours, your body has already digested whatever you sent down earlier," says Cleveland dietitian Amy Jamieson-Petonic, RD. "Once you've crossed the 5-hour mark, your blood sugar begins to plummet, and you grab whatever you can to refuel."That's why breakfast is so important. After 7-8 hours of sleep without food, you need energy to get moving, Jamieson-Petonic says.People who regularly eat breakfast tend to weigh less than those who skip their morning meal. They also get more nutrients like vitamins D, B12, and A. They may even be more likely to resist food cravings and make better food choices, especially when protein is part of the meal.If you start off your day with breakfast, and then continue eating every 3 to 4 hours, you'll provide your body and brain with a steady stream of nutrients so you don't go overboard at mealtime.
