This book consist of 13 more stories bought to you buy Jeff Hill. The world has changed. The men and women of the outback are passing on. Fortunately, we have the memories and the stories of those who developed this great nation. They are the unsung heroes that built on the earlier efforts of the pioneers; the advancement and improvements created by the outback people have strengthened the character of our nation. These generations endured in the isolated regions while the cities had regular power and water supplies. My heroes carried water in canteens on ‘difficult to catch’ mules and the light at night in the stock camps was a carbide light — if you were lucky. These stories are written adventures about the outback people of Australia; they are the Privileged Few of our generation; they belong to the past 80 years of progress of outback history and knowledge. Full credit to Jeff Hill and his family for their outstanding contribution to the library of the outback.

Zinia Santos is the daughter of a Yazidi refugee and thus lives a life of privilege on one of the highest Strata of society. Her life, like everyone else in the country, is strictly timetabled by the government, her job, her home, the food she eats, even her hobbies are prescribed to her by law. She will never be homeless, or unemployed, or hungry. Nor will she ever be able to choose her own meals, her own job, her own sexual partner.If anything goes wrong in her life, the government is responsible and the government can be sued. If she steps off the timetable however, as her sister Lara has done, the government will give her nothing. No job, no healthcare, no protection of any description. She will stop existing.Zinia isn't an idiot, what's not to like about being looked after from the cradle to the grave?A random DNA test at work outs Zinia, not as the daughter of a middle-eastern refugee, but as ordinary white British. Her mother lied in order to gain a privileged place in society reserved for those who belong to historically oppressed minorities. Zinia finds herself stripped of her identity and everything that goes with it. Relegated to the lowest Strata of society reserved for the historic oppressors, Zinia is quickly told that it's a way of atoning for the privilege her ancestors enjoyed.But a new minority has emerged in the last twenty years, they call themselves the Starsouls, religious zealots who believe themselves to be beyond humanity and are instantly elevated to the highest Strata although nobody knows why. Lara Santos, an outspoken YouTube Content-creator intends to find out why Starsouls can flout the strict timetables the rest of the country must adhere to.

This is a story of the class struggle between money, politics, and heart. In 1973, the wealthiest one percent of Americans owned only 13% of the countrys assets. Those assets included the equity in homes, businesses, stocks, bonds and property. Forty years, three poorly conceived wars and two major financial disasters later, that figure has risen to nearly 50% at the expense of the average American. Where did this windfall of wealth come from and why did the real income and personal assets of the vast majority of working Americans decline during this same period? Were they just smarter ... or did they just outsmart us? Once thought of as the land of opportunity with a standard of living envied around the world, America has become the land of political manipulations and unconscionable acts in favor of a select few. This factbased fiction novel tells the story of a generation of men and women who sought the elusive American Dream during the decline of the middle class and the deliberate war against those in poverty who can only afford to dream. Richard DeBenedictis story is told through the lives and adventures of four main characters, whom, although of diverse backgrounds, ideologies and social status, are influenced by the self-serving acts of those who want it all. Is this trend reversable or is America, as feared by the authors of our Constitution, Benjamin Franklin, James Madison and Thomas Jefferson, on its way to becoming ruled by and for The Priviliged Few?

Male and white privilege are on the decline, yet elite privilege has gone from strength to strength. The privileges enjoyed by the rich and powerful are not only unfair but cause widespread harm, from the everyday slights and humiliations visited on those lower down the scale to the distortions in the labour market when elites use their networks to secure plum jobs, not least in new domains such as professional sports. In this book, Clive Hamilton and Myra Hamilton show that elite privilege is not a mere by-product of wealth but an organising principle for society as a whole. They explore the practices and processes that sustain, legitimise and reproduce elite privilege and show how we are all implicated in the system, both facilitating it and tolerating its harmful effects. Building on their original fieldwork and a wide range of other sources, the authors paint a vivid picture of the micropolitics of elite privilege, highlighting in particular the vital role played by exclusive private schools. Ranging across topics as diverse as ‘glamour suburbs’, philanthropy, Rhodes scholarships and super-yachts, The Privileged Few delves beneath attempts at concealment to expose how the elites keep getting away with it.

An authoritative introduction to the fascinating topic of archaeoastronomy—ancient peoples' understanding and use of the skies. Ancient Astronomy: An Encyclopedia of Cosmologies and Myth draws on archaeological evidence and oral traditions to reveal how prehistoric humans perceived the skies and celestial phenomena. With over 200 entries, it offers a number of ways to approach ancient astronomy, from key examples and case studies worldwide (Stonehenge; Mexican and Egyptian pyramids; Chaco Canyon, New Mexico; the Nazca lines in Peru) to general themes (cosmologies, calendars, ancient ideas of space and time, origin myths), to fundamental concepts and methods (how the sky has changed over the centuries, how to survey a site), and to the field's most frequently asked questions (How did ancient peoples navigate the ocean using the stars? How does astrology relate to ancient astronomy? Can ancient sites be dated astronomically?) By revealing the astronomical significance of some of the world's most famous ancient landmarks and enduring myths and by showing how different themes and concepts are connected, Ancient Astronomy: An Encyclopedia of Cosmologies and Myth brings a unique authoritative perspective to an area too often left to speculation and sensationalism.

Feedback matters for everyone committed to school improvement. Rather than tweaking flawed assessment tools, it is time to consider developing more meaningful feedback systems the impact the critical masses that make up the school community. Cultivating new assessment approaches for students, staff, as well as non-instructional staff, teacher-leaders, principals, superintendents, trustees and grant/philanthropic funders, can lead to remarkable change. The goal of learning for students should not be separate or secondary to performing well on standardized tests. Implementing feedback systems that engage and prompt critical and creative thinking should matter more in today’s schools. Assessment tools that explicitly align with expectations not only create a fair playing field, but they can enhance deep learning. Assessment Tools and Systems: Meaningful Feedback Approaches to Promote Critical and Creative Thinking presents a comprehensive compilation of constructive assessment choices grounded in educational research that emerged through 60 years of experiences as a student, teacher, principal, teacher educator, consultant, school founder, school trustee and educational philanthropist.

Until she stumbles across the dead body of judge Amanda Scott-Saunders. âe ̈What starts out as a bad day for Lexy becomes even worse when the police discover the judge was strangled with Lexy's apron. Now Lexy's sitting at the top of the suspect list with a motive, means and opportunity... but no solid alibi. âe ̈Lexy soon finds herself in a race against time to find the real killer before she ends up disqualified from the contest, or worse, in jail.
