Black women and girls are underrepresented in the STEM fields. In 2019, only 28% of the STEM workforce was female, and only 3% of that workforce was black. This digital skill gap has several negative consequences, both for black women and girls themselves and for society. Black women and girls are less likely to have access to high-quality education in STEM fields and are more likely to face discrimination and harassment in the workplace. As a result, they are less likely to be hired for STEM jobs, and they are more likely to leave STEM jobs early. The lack of black women in STEM fields has several negative consequences for society. SHE, DISRUPTS is the book that will change the way the industry sees itself.

Trois formes de relâchement peuvent conduire au déclin et à la disparition des Églises : la tolérance des erreurs théologiques ; celle du péché moral ; et ce fléau, souvent ignoré car méconnu, la culture inconsciente de l'impureté.Si le péché moral et l'erreur hérétique constituent des maux bien distincts, il n'en va pas de même de l'impureté qui, comme la médiocrité, est une habitude, qui à la longue, étouffe toute vérité et toute vertu. Pourtant la Bible parle souvent de l'impureté, tant dans l'Ancien que dans le Nouveau Testament. L'impureté concerne des écarts par rapport aux lois bibliques sur les désordres de l'ordre créationnel, surtout en ce qui concerne la nourriture, la sexualité et, ce désordre ultime : la mort.Il ne s'agit pas de péchés explicites, tel un meurtre, un vol ou la fornication qui connaissent leur châtiment approprié, mais du contact avec ce qui rend impur. Tout contact avec le monde diabolique rend impur. Il en va de même pour la pornographie (forcer des enfants à contempler, puis à pratiquer des actes pervers propres à l'éducation sexuelle). Il en est ainsi de tout contact avec des cadavres, même lors de l'autopsie. Cette impureté médicale cautérise la conscience de bien des médecins les rendant insensibles au meurtre d'embryons qu'ils pratiquent par avortement.Car le propre de toute impureté est de brouiller nos rapports avec Dieu, nous rendant insensibles au mal. L'homme pécheur est alors désarmé devant ces influences nocives. L'union du croyant au Christ, c'est-à-dire à sa pureté, le protège de l'impureté.Pour conclure, écoutons la Bible :Or, tout ce que Dieu a créé est bon, et rien n'est à rejeter, pourvu qu'on le prenne avec actions de grâces, car tout est sanctifié [rendu pur] par la parole de Dieu et par la prière.(I Timothée 4 : 4-5)

I gather folk tales with me as I wander the globe. In more recent years, I've gathered them as I paint community murals. So far, I have 63 murals in 27 countries. It's why I have such a varied collection of tales. Prior to murals, I lived in Asia and traveled about Thailand and the rest of Southeast Asia as much as possible. Thailand has such a rich and colorful culture. The tastes set your mouth on fire while your eyes and nose are flooded with historic sights and fragrant aromas. If It Is Truly Ours is a tale about a simple farming couple who work hard and live honestly. When they find a treasure on their property, they debate. Should we claim it? Is it truly ours? What would you do? The husband decided that they could never claim it unless it came to them. How could that ever happen? Do good things come to those who wait? You're just going to have to read a charming tale to find out.

This is the continuing story of David Clarke in which he tells of his encounter with great conflicts of conscience, whilst at the Bierton Strict and Particular Baptists Church, after when he seceded, in 1984, over matters of conscience.For three years he wondered what the future held for him and wondered about the direction that he should go. This led him to severe depression, thinking that God had rejected him, and then to a desperate state of mind resulting in him turning away from God and to open sin.This is the continuing story of David's life as told in his book , "Converted on LSD Trip 4th Edition," and relates the journey that led to his fall, divorce, the desperation, recovery and restoration to faith in Christ. He then tells of his encounter with so called Elders of a Christian Church who wished to appoint women as elders, and of his subsequent actions, and writing an account in his book Mary, Mary Quite Contrary.He tells of the good news he received in 1998 of his brother Michael and his conversion from crime to Christ, that took place 5 years into a 16-year prison sentence, in the Philippines. This was 30 years after David's own conversion from crime to Christ, which was the moving factor behind publishing his book, "Converted on LSD Trip."David believes this book will be very useful for people who too may have turned from God, in unbelief, and of the road of recovery, to any of all ages who wish to see the hand of God at work and in particular for those learning the Christian faith.

Poetry plays an important role in the Bible, and this suggests it should have some role in the life of Christian faith. The essay in this book argues that Christians today must rediscover the role of poetry in the life of faith, and that some, at least, should be open to receiving a calling to poetry as part of their service to the Lord.

Dans le jardin is a found heritage, those families of unicorns that alight with the gift of lightness and purpose. God, so wise to choose the wee ones (insects) to pollinate our gardens, is a miracle to behold. Treatise here attests to the elegance of wonderment of the multitude of species that, due to minute size, do not bend the stalks of flowering plants. As they metamorphize into pollinators, they gather nectar and, in turn, nourish us. Included here as well in the haiku treatise are the hummingbirds and their slight winged wind, again a testament to the lightness of being - also a pollinator by God's scheme. Within haiku, a poem, and the all elusive picturae, you find the daily joys of a gardener, tending to all.

"I'm overrun with pride at watching my sisters and brothers share their #MeToo stories with such bravery. I'll admit I don't know where I fit into the grand scheme. I'll likely never name the boy, because I've seen enough to know the receipts are not on my side. I've seen the cruelty with which people treat survivors that have much less confusing stories than mine. Also, I hope and pray that he is a different person. It has been over ten years since that day in his home and a little over five since our last interaction. Hopefully, he's grown."I have. "I write this on the chance that someone comes across it and feels a little less alone. I write this hoping that someone may read it and have some of the same "Eureka!" moments I've had. If you're raising a child in the Christian faith or some other religion, that's fine, but it may be useful to help them take a more understanding approach to their sexuality because shame and silence are unhealthier than you might think. As I said, my mother never made me feel shameful about sex. But she isn't my only relative, and maybe my church didn't straight up say "sex makes you bad," but it still seeped in." -- Excerpt from [Untitled] Realizations, by Kelli Green

After he has a frightening encounter with a large winged creature behind his shop, Henry is further shaken when several of his fellow townsfolk are found dead in the woods surrounding the village. As he tries to make sense of what is happening, the blacksmith meets a mysterious stranger who hints that Henry himself may have a much larger role to play in the chaos gripping Batsto.

In summer 2022, poet and artist Bruce Rimell visited the Coasts of Antrim, Northern Ireland. After a lifetime reading Irish mythology, and wandering that ancient landscape in his mind for years, this was the first time he had set foot on the physical island itself. Unsurprisingly, his imagination caught fire, and 'Beeley far The North' is the result.Framed as a picaresque jaunt around the region of Ballycastle, taking in notable legends and landmarks from around the town as well as Rathlin Island, this eccentric narrative poem takes as its primary inspiration the Middle Irish tale 'Buile Suibhne', or, in Seamus Heaney's translation 'Sweeney Astray'.Rather than retell this tragic story of this frenzied and cursed figure, half wildman half broken bird, through a different perspective, however, Bruce chose to take poor Suibhne's madness as a character to inhabit, eyes through which to experience this part of Ireland in a madcap way which mirrored the rapid "seven days, eight nights" of his sojourn there.In doing this, he has also tentatively begun to forge something of a new, unconventional, and hopefully unique, approach to psychogeography, which he has playfully termed the beeley. Oddly unorthodox but always vibrant in tone, 'Beeley Far The North' is an experiment in trying to speak of the human dynamics of landscape in a fresh and hyperactive way.
