This book provides an overview of Aboriginal and specifically Kaurna (SA) stone artefact (lithic) analysis. The book provides a simple guide on why such artefacts are important, and outlines the key markers and attributes that are found on the artefacts. Examples throughout the book are provided, which have been taken from an archaeological excavation in Adelaide, which was undertaken in the Elizabeth area, within the Edinburgh Defence Precinct. The range of photographs and illustrations aims to teach students the methods and key techniques to provide a basis for learning, studying and analysing stone artefacts. The book is aimed at students and professionals of all abilities.

In the fine tradition established by her Southern grandmama, Aurora Daughtry has recently orchestrated the marriage of her eldest sister and facilitated her middle sister''s engagement. She also rejoices in her part in transforming the family''s dilapidated plantation manor into a luxurious and lucrative resort hotel. Just when it seems there is nothing left to absorb her considerable talent for managing people, in walks federal deputy marshal Zane Sager. But Zane is not at Daughtry House for a vacation. He''s tracking a killer and collecting two key witnesses to a federal judge''s murder. Aurora takes it upon herself to disabuse the cynical lawman of his conviction that the world is out to get him. But just as she''s on the verge of cracking Zane''s defenses, the man he is after reminds him that no one he loves is safe. Ever. Award-wining author Beth White closes out her Daughtry House series with this exciting and emotional tale of two strong-willed people who may have met their match.

Impoverished Southern belle Joelle Daughtry has a secret. By day she has been helping her sisters in their quest to turn the run-down family plantation into a resort hotel after the close of the Civil War. But by night and under a male pseudonym, she has been penning articles for the local paper in support of the construction of a Negro school. With the Mississippi arm of the Ku Klux Klan gaining power and prestige, Joelle knows she is playing a dangerous game. When childhood enemy and current investor in the Daughtry house renovation Schuyler Beaumont takes over his assassinated father''s candidacy for state office, Joelle finds that in order to protect her family and her home, she and Schuyler will have to put aside their longstanding personal conflict and develop a united public front. The trouble is, what do you do when animosity becomes respect--and even love--if you''re already engaged to someone else?

"With the Civil War over, Mississippi Belle Joelle Daughtry wants to establish a school to teach freed slaves. But she might have to form an alliance with her childhood nemesis and reveal her deepest secret to make changes in her world--and her heart"--

Five years after the final shot was fired in the War Between the States, Selah Daughtry can barely manage to keep herself, her two younger sisters, and their spinster cousin fed and clothed. With their family''s Mississippi plantation swamped by debt and the Big House falling down around them, the only option seems to be giving up their ancestral land. Pinkerton agent and former Union cavalryman Levi Riggins is investigating a series of robberies and sabotage linked to the impoverished Daughtry plantation. Posing as a hotel management agent for the railroad, he tells Selah he''ll help her save her home, but only if it is converted into a hotel. With Selah otherwise engaged with renovations, Levi moves onto the property to "supervise" while he actually attends to his real assignment right under her nose. Selah isn''t sure she entirely trusts the handsome Yankee, but she''d do almost anything to save her home. What she never expected to encounter was his assault on her heart.

"As economic turbulence continues to affect global markets, the retail sector has become increasingly volatile. Retailers in general have been slow to respond to changing consumer attitudes towards technology and innovation, with many reluctant to acknowledge the widening digital divide between consumer digital behaviors and expectations, and retailers'' ability to deliver the desired experiences. The retail sector has been struggling with a changing balance of power ever since online shopping emerged as a strong competitor to bricks-and-mortar retail. Will retail department stores continue in their inexorable decline? Or will we see bricks-and-mortar retail stores evolve, finding new vehicles by which to survive?. One such retailer that has been able to adapt quickly to the challenges facing the retail sector is Selfridges & Co. Limited. The brand has developed strong survival mechanisms staging itself as a market, warehouse, and museum in equal measures. Unlike other department stores who are struggling with dwindling footfall and declining in store sales, Selfridges are keeping up with consumer expectations, especially within their physical retail environments. This case study examines the key factors influencing the UK retail sector and considers what the future holds for retail department stores."--Bloomsbury Publishing.

A book about Sunflowers with painterly photos by Beth White. Common Sunflowers are summer-time Texas wildflowers and grow along roadsides, in pastures and also enjoyed in gardens. These bright Sunflowers were grown in a small garden beside a back porch. Some of the sunflower meanings: faithfulness, warmth and happiness.

Despite the demand for a diverse STEM-educated population and workforce, college students have consistently turned away from these disciplines in large numbers, creating a persistent problem that many are trying to address. The aim of the National Science Foundation''s Research Experiences for Undergraduates (REU) program is to inspire, attract, and retain STEM majors. Funding supports undergraduate STEM students'' engagement in real-world research alongside STEM mentors. As colleges and universities compete for funding for REUs, it is important to understand the mechanisms within summer research programs that resonate most deeply with undergraduate STEM researchers. While many studies reveal strong correlations between research experiences and STEM aspirations, less is known about the mechanisms within REU programs that support these gains. My research used quantitative and qualitative self-reported data from 20 REU students, 18 of whom were underrepresented minorities in STEM. Over two summers, these students, in cohorts of ten, came to the University of Vermont to participate in a team-oriented, 10-week REU: Interdisciplinary Research on Human Impacts in the Lake Champlain Ecosystem. Two mixed-methods studies, guided by the frameworks of the theory of possible selves, theory of self-efficacy for research, and social cognitive career theory, revealed four important program mechanisms that gave rise to gains in research skills, confidence and self-efficacy for research, and STEM career aspirations, particularly for individuals from underrepresented minority groups in STEM. Findings suggest that the program fostered student capacity building within a safe, inclusive, and positive setting where students experienced what it feels like to be an active participant in the world of research. Within this context, critical mechanisms that gave rise to gains in research skills, confidence and self-efficacy for research, and STEM career aspirations included: (1) experiential education through interdisciplinary research experiences, (2) student independence and ownership balanced with expert researcher guidance and support, (3) formal and informal mentoring networks where students were mentored and where they mentored others, and (4) the establishment of an intentional learning community that advanced leadership, research skill building, perseverance, and reflection. Results from this research cannot be generalized beyond the context of the Lake Champlain REU, however, findings are in alignment with the body of literature that highlights the positive effects of REUs on STEM majors'' research skills, confidence and self-efficacy for research, and STEM career aspirations. Using mixed methods to identify and understand the within-program mechanisms that support student gains is a valuable new research approach for this field. Recognizing programmatic mechanisms across REU programs can lead to expansion, replication, and application of these models beyond one institution, resulting in more positive gains for more undergraduate STEM researchers.

Fiona Lanier is the only woman in the tiny Gulf Coast settlement of Navy Cove. While her shipbuilding family races to fill the demand for American ships brought by the War of 1812, Fiona tries to rescue her brother who was forced into service by the British Navy. Lieutenant Charlie Kincaid has been undercover for six months, obtaining information vital to the planned British invasion of New Orleans. When a summer storm south of Mobile Bay wrecks his ship and scatters the crew, Charlie suffers a head injury, ultimately collapsing in the arms of a beautiful mermaid who seems eerily familiar. As Charlie''s memory returns in agonizing jags and crashes, he and Fiona discover that falling in love may be as inevitable as the tide. But when political loyalties begin to collide, they''ll each have to decide where their true heart lies.

In ‘De postorderbruid’ brengt Beth White de Franse kolonie in Lousiana tot leven. 1704. Geneviève Gaillain en haar zus reizen als postorderbruiden naar de Louisiana-kolonie, op de vlucht voor hun verleden. Als hugenoten waren ze hun leven in Frankrijk niet zeker en daarom hebben ze beiden beloofd te trouwen met een man in de Nieuwe Wereld. Maar wanneer Geneviève verliefd wordt op Tristan Lanier – een kaartenmaker die opkomt voor de gelijke behandeling van inheemsen – beseft ze dat zelfs in dit land van vrijheid een vredig bestaan geen garantie is. En het geheim dat ze bewaart zou weleens de ondergang van de kolonie kunnen betekenen. ‘Een opmerkelijk en onvergetelijk verhaal’ – Laura Frantz, auteur van ‘De pioniersdochter’

With spectacular detail that brings the Colonial South alive, Beth White invites readers into a world of intrigue and espionage from a little-known side of the American Revolutionary War. Her richly textured settings and characters delight while fast pacing and closely held secrets will keep readers turning the pages.

Vertical Gardens The Do It Yourself Step-By-Step Vertical Garden Playbook Vertical gardening is one of the most popular trends currently in home gardening. I first discovered it looking at pins on Pinterest, and I was immediately intrigued by the idea. When I started doing research, I discovered that vertical gardening means different things to different people. It can mean an outdoor vegetable garden where vining or sprawling plants are trained to grow up a trellis or other vertical structure. Or, it can mean growing plants in containers attached to an outdoor wall or other structure. Finally, it can mean growing plants in containers on a wall indoors. We will take a look at each of these types of gardens.

The Low Carb Bible Low Carb Cookbook - 200 Low Carb Recipes Get started on your weight-loss journey on the right foot with these amazing Low Carb Recipes! When it comes to weight loss, there are dozens of diets out there that claim to shed the pounds while keeping you full and satisfied. The low-carb diet is probably among those that best accomplish this. Low-carbohydrate diets keep simple and complex carbs below a certain threshold and compensate with extra protein and fat. When carbohydrate intake is low enough, people experience a metabolic state known as ketosis, which happens when the body burns stored fat and breaks it down into ketones, which are then used as fuel. However, you don''t need to go into ketosis to lose weight on a low-carb diet.

It is 1704 when Genevieve Gaillain and her sister board a French ship headed for the Louisiana colony as mail-order brides. Both have promised to marry one of the rough-and-tumble Canadian men in this New World in order to escape religious persecution in the Old World. Genevieve knows life won''t be easy, but at least here she can establish a home and family without fear of beheading. But when she falls in love with Tristan Lanier, an expatriate cartographer whose courageous stand for fair treatment of native peoples has made him decidedly unpopular in the young colony, Genevieve realizes that even in this land of liberty one is not guaranteed peace.

It''s the last day of July, a bright, perfect day for harvesting a crop. The flat, sometimes rolling land in southern Manitoba, chosen in 1880 by an underage, hopeful settler from Ontario, later home for almost the first six years of my life, refuses to be forgotten. Only now, seven decades later, is the focus real, the debt accepted, my heart acknowledging it to be immeasurable. Time lines are blurring, exact details no longer important, just the urgent longing to say across the years, "I would not change a day of the journey! God be with you, ''til we meet again!"
