"A provocative and jaunty romp through the dos and don'ts of writing for the internet" (NYT)--the practical, the playful, and the politically correct--from BuzzFeed copy chief Emmy Favilla. A World Without "Whom" is Eats, Shoots & Leaves for the internet age, and BuzzFeed global copy chief Emmy Favilla is the witty go-to style guru of webspeak. As language evolves faster than ever before, what is the future of "correct" writing? When Favilla was tasked with creating a style guide for BuzzFeed, she opted for spelling, grammar, and punctuation guidelines that would reflect not only the site's lighthearted tone, but also how readers actually use language IRL. With wry cleverness and an uncanny intuition for the possibilities of internet-age expression, Favilla makes a case for breaking the rules laid out by Strunk and White: A world without "whom," she argues, is a world with more room for writing that's clear, timely, pleasurable, and politically aware. Featuring priceless emoji strings, sidebars, quizzes, and style debates among the most lovable word nerds in the digital media world--of which Favilla is queen--A World Without "Whom" is essential for readers and writers of virtually everything: news articles, blog posts, tweets, texts, emails, and whatever comes next . . . so basically everyone.

Improve student outcomes with a new approach to relationships and networks Relationships matter. Who You Know explores this simple idea to give teachers and school administrators a fresh perspective on how to break the pattern of inequality in American classrooms. It reveals how schools can invest in the power of relationships to increase social mobility for their students. Discussions about inequality often focus on achievement gaps. But opportunity is about more than just test scores. Opportunity gaps are a function of not just what students know, but who they know. This book explores the central role that relationships play in young people’s lives, and provides guidance for a path forward. Schools can: Integrate student support models that increase access to caring adults in students’ lives Invest in learning models that strengthen teacher-student relationships Deploy emerging technologies that expand students’ networks to experts and mentors from around world Exploring the latest tools, data, and real-world examples, this book provides evidence-based guidance for educators looking to level the playing field and expert analysis on how policymakers and entrepreneurs can help. Networks need no longer be limited by geography or circumstance. By making room for relationships, K-12 schools can transform themselves into hubs of next-generation learning and connecting. Who You Know explains how.

From foreword: This book is a collection of my articles which had been published in theological journals in Indonesia such as ―Verbum Christi‖ and ―Jurnal Teologi Reformed Indonesia (JTRI).‖ There are five articles, some of them are writings on Christian apologetics particularly in Van Tillian presuppositionalism perspective. These papers are not arranged according to the dates of their publications but they are managed according to the topics in which the apologetics writings are placed in the first three chapters. The significance of Van Tillian apologetics to Muslims is the first chapter, then the second chapter speaking on Christian response to the idea of non-duality of Shankara, the great thinker of Hinduism. The third deals with the value of propositional truths in maintaining Christian faith. The last two papers are, first, my research on the polemic about the covenant of grace that happened within Reformed Churches in Netherlands (RCN) in 1940s, and the second discusses about emotion and its relevance to Christian church today. I would like to thank to the editors of Verbum Christi and the JTRI for their permission to republish these materials. Also, thank to the peer reviewers of both journals who make these papers better and academically suitable.

Autobiography Of Grell Ferdinand God must be given well deserved thanks for protecting and sustaining me throughout my existence. My birth in a small country village in Erin, Trinidad, was a miracle from what I heard. I was told that there were complications, and I was given the name Grell, in deference to a Dr. Grell, who was instrumental in my safe delivery. My Christian parents, made great sacrifices to have us educated in a Christian environment. They left Erin and set up home in Maracas Valley, in North Trinidad, where we had the benefit of living near to Christian institutions. My first degree, a B.A. (General Hons.) in History and Spanish was earned at University of the West Indies, Trinidad. For my Masters degree, my immediate family emigrated to the U.S.A. and I studied at Florida Atlantic University. I did my Doctorate in Educational Leadership at Nova Southeastern University in Florida. I currently teach as I have been doing for most of my adult life, having taught in Trinidad, St Croix, New Jersey, New York and Florida. I did my Chaplaincy training at the International Chaplaincy Association, in south Florida, and also work as an assistant pastor in two different churches. My goal is to help spread the gospel through a T.V. ministry. I am seeking the Lord to use me with Divine interventions to help bring relief to the sick, to cast out demons and effect the opening of sight to the blind.
