Water and Los Angeles: A Tale of Three Rivers, 1900–1941 - PDF: https://lnkd.in/gSBpvJuH Los Angeles rose to significance in the first half of the twentieth century by way of its complex relationship to three rivers: the Los Angeles, the Owens, and the Colorado. The remarkable urban and suburban trajectory of southern California since then cannot be fully understood without reference to the ways in which each of these three river systems came to be connected to the future of the metropolitan region. This history of growth must be understood in full consideration of all three rivers and the challenges and opportunities they presented to those who would come to make Los Angeles a global power. Full of primary sources and original documents, Water and Los Angeles will be of interest to both students of Los Angeles and general readers interested in the origins of the city.

Do you teach those children that most of them will be unable to enjoy the simple pleasures of playing or swimming in clean water environments? Do you explain that your endemic pollution renders our rivers, beaches and seas a risk to their health and safety, with sewage pathogens at levels that could threaten a normal healthy life or worse? Do you teach them that your extractive corporate model prioritises putting money into the pockets of investors, many offshore, rather than ensuring that their generation and the generations after them will have access to clean, safe recreational waters……? Or was this just another prime example of cynical corporate brownwashing South West Water? #sewagescandal #sickofsewage

The powerful ‘A Life Backwards’ video explores the difference we can make when we really, truly listen and get to know our children. It isn’t easy sometimes, but invariably the children causing most concern are the ones who need us to be there the most. https://lnkd.in/gm5RfNzD

What matters most is to let every child express her/his wants and we as academicians should put genuine efforts to facilitate their wants through proper guidance and parents' collaboration. https://lnkd.in/eyuXKxrB

Volunteering as a school governor is a rewarding experience that has a positive impact on both your community and your career. I've been governor at a primary school for a couple of years now and here's a few reasons why I enjoy it: 1. It’s a leadership opportunity: As a school governor, I experience leadership at “board level” – I’m part of the governing body, helping to shape the school's vision, manage its finances, and analyse educational outcomes. 2. I gain transferable skills: Being a governor provides me with transferable skills that are valuable in any workplace, such as… - Strategic Thinking: I contribute to decisions that directly affect the school and its students. - Financial Management: I review and approve budgets, making tough decisions about resource allocation. - HR Skills: I’m involved in recruiting and performance managing the headteacher. - Data Analysis: I use data to inform decisions and track progress (my forte!). - Analytical Thinking: I solve problems efficiently - essential for effective governance. 3. Personal Development: Volunteering as a governor allows me to learn about areas outside of my usual expertise and from people I might not usually interact with.
