This study provides a clear picture of how bullying affects students and schools in the country of Georgia. The results of the study outline victimization trends according to factors such as region, school size, student gender, age, and parental occupation. The study offers practical recommendations to teachers, parents, and educators who want to prevent bullying and tackle its complex psychological consequences. Some of the questions considered in the study are the following: - What different forms does bullying take? - What factors lead individuals toward becoming bullies or victims? - What effect does bullying have on the teaching and learning process? The main hypothesis of the study is that a school's environment can be a key determinant of bullying behavior, and when school culture does not allow the realization of aggression, fewer students become victims. Whether you are a parent, a teacher, a counselor, or school administrator, the detailed research in this book will serve as an essential resource to prevent and eliminate the practices of bullying and to help students succeed.

Stephen Axelrod's father, Solly, had his son pegged for his news truck delivery route from the beginning. But Stephen knew there had to be something else out there. In Surf Avenue, he shares the story of his life as a tough Jewish boy growing up in Queens and his quest to escape the blue-collar footsteps his father left for him to follow. Humor and resilience take Axelrod through the challenges of growing up in Cambria Heights, Queens, in the 1950s. His father, a second-generation truck driver for the Daily News, wishes for nothing more than to see Stephen in the driver's seat of his own truck, hauling newspapers for a living. However, despite steady work with union benefits, this former high school dropout has an entirely different life in mind. Stephen's escape from Queens and his father's grip takes him on a poignant search for himself-and through a world without self-imposed boundaries or limits. From a stint in the US Marine Corps, to a seat on the New York Stock Exchange, an acting career, and beyond, Stephen's life takes many poignant and sometimes shocking swerves-with one constant: the secret insatiable desire for his father's approval. Can he find wholeness?

The ultimate aim and purpose of this book is to give us some insight into dealing with the negative and positive vicissitudes of life and how to cope with them. It seeks to remind us that in times of joy, fortune and success, we should celebrate those moments with grateful hearts. We should learn not to take them for granted but to claim them as blessings, count them and capitalize on them.On the other hand, when distress confronts us, when trouble engulfs us, we should first be conscious of the fact that while trouble and calamity may be inevitable, that they are neither fatal nor final. Misfortune is not a permanent feature of life. It is transient, as one of our psalms reminds us ,"heaviness may endure for a night but joy comes in the morning."

The character-driven short fiction and poetry of Susan Knier are on full display in her fifth collection, "The Week Before Evanston." In these pages, you will meet a U.S. president hilariously in touch with his inner child, a woman who fabricates her history in a desperate bid to win friends, a grandfather harboring a life-altering secret and many memorable others. These stories speak to the core of human motivation: Why do we behave as we do, especially if the results are unpredictable, disappointing or perhaps dangerous? The engaged, open-minded reader will find much to ponder in the author's dream accounts. These pieces crisscross genres and sometimes defy categorization. Dystopian scenarios, humor and social commentary stand next to encounters with rogue creatures and even a classic nightmare or two.

Sweetheart and My Love is a collection of personal experiences expressed in a diverse range of verse by the author. It gives the reader an opportunity in common thought to celebrate life, from a child's beginning, one's personal faith, to our last moments in this wonderful beginning of our existence. If this life is "just a breath," as the Bible says, just imagine what is in store for us.What Does My Baby Dream What does my baby dream as he lays napping in my arms? Eyes searching about under closed lids, circling, fluttering, opening slightly, closing tightly...Grandma's Queen Elizabeth Rose Lord God Almighty I leave it to Your judgement, as to when You will take me home. But I hope You'll consider a simple request, if you are going to take me, and I hope You will, take me when my roses are in bloom...What Hurts the Most It's unsettling to know, you are slowly diminishing, the light in your eyes is gradually diming...

On October 30th, 1956, a CIA-sponsored coup (code-named "Operation Straggle") was to take place in Damascus with the support of the Syrian military. The operation was cancelled on October 29th, one day before the planned coup, after Israel, the British and the French launched attacks on the Suez Canal. History refers to these events as "The Suez Crisis", and it provoked the Syrian military into refusing to go along with the coup. Two weeks later, the Soviet Union and Syria signed a Pact in which the Soviets promised Syria heavy weapons and other military support in exchange for more political and foreign policy influence. Alarmed by these events, and suffering an involuntary drawdown of CIA personnel in Damascus, Beirut's CIA station chief sends two covert operatives into Syria a week later to monitor a Soviet intelligence team that had arrived in Damascus, ostensibly to implement the terms of the Pact. Alan Harper, posing as a freelance investigative reporter, and Anne Small, posing as his Arabic-speaking interpreter, soon discovered the real objective of the Soviet team. The action is fast-paced as Harper and Anne, at great risk to themselves, fend off the Syrian secret police, a Soviet hit squad, and the Soviet intelligence team itself, in their attempt to disrupt the Soviet operation.

When I first started writing this book I typed an introduction trying to explain why everyone should read it. I wanted to let all the salespeople of the world know why they should care about their customers, and I wanted to convince them that the top salespeople are the ones who care about their customers the most.While I still believe that this is true, I don't know it for sure. Regardless, I can say with confidence that this book is not for salespeople who don't care about their customers. If you don't care about your customers, please don't read any further. In fact, if you don't care about your customers,please consider a different career. It's people like you who stay in sales for the wrong reasons that give salespeople a bad reputation.If you do care about your customers, then this book is about how you can show them that you care even more. This is about how you can help them in their own personal journey toward happiness.The old-school ways of selling where you try to manipulate and cajole your prospective client into buying something are truly obsolete. We live in a time when people have endless information at their fingertips. They care what you think, but they know much of the basic informationthemselves. Most of all, they want a salesperson they can trust. If you are looking for more manipulative sales tactics to figure out how to take advantage of more people and "close more sales," then please don't continue to read this book.If you are interested in helping to promote what I believe to be one of the most noble professions on the planet, that of an ethical salesperson, then please read further. And, share what you read. I want everyone to be happier. That is why I wake up each morning. That is why I run mywealth management firm. That is why I wrote this book. I hope that is why you are reading it.

Don Patricio picked up the sobriquet in Antigua Guatemala and it became firmly attached in Mexico. The Nine Lives are harder to explain, but given the life he led over the last seventy years, odds were against his survival.

A well-meaning journalist's ill-conceived exposé implicates Trenton's long-tenured police chief in a scheme to deceive the public by underreporting its homicides to the National Crime Bureau. When the police chief suddenly disappears, McKenzie 'Mac' Cole, a private investigator with a Jersey attitude is called in to investigate. The search for the missing police chief and answers to the conundrum left in his wake leads Cole on a winding road down along the New Jersey Shore and into the police chief's murky past. Tethered to the inquisitive female journalist the two find they have more in common than simply the goal of locating the enigmatic police chief and setting the record straight. When they discover that an obscure out of print book may hold the key to unlocking the secret to the mystery behind the manipulated records, the chasm in their relationship only widens until they find themselves on opposite sides of the table.

This book tracks the 2020 outbreak due to a coronavirus strain labelled SARS-CoV-2, said to produce the Covid-19 disease. It brings evidence from scientists - who were ignored or censored by mainstream and social media cartels, for challenging the narrative, a one-sided approach by governments under the influence of the World Health Organisation and its benefactors. The agenda led to a worldwide shut down of Small-Medium Businesses and a dramatic shift in wealth towards big multinationals. Serious, non-covid medical conditions were overlooked, resulting in a spike in excess deaths, first in care homes and hospitals, and later in private homes. Seizing the opportunity afforded by fearful citizens with little stomach to resist psychological warfare waged by their governments, a long-opposed ID solution for tracking and tracing humans was rolled out. This was a precursor for a coming world take over by AI, and the transfer of wealth in exchange for digitised Universal Basic Income, enforced by global martial law. Gene altering injections were hurried out under Emergency Use. The leading pharmaceutical manufacturer, and the national regulator, attempted to censor its trial data for 75 years. The regulator also ignored data it kept on millions of adverse vaccine reactions, many deadly serious.
