Just Shelter : Gentrification, Integration, Race, and Reconstruction
The United States of America is experiencing a housing crisis, which, by some estimates, started in the early 2000s and was made worse by the financial crisis of the 2007-2008 recession.Hundreds of thousands of Americans lack decent and affordable housing or everyday shelter.Instead, they must live in tent encampments stowed in the niches of neighborhoods and under the freeway overpasses of many major U.S. cities, often in unsafe conditions. Signs of this crisis are all around: in the spikes of evictions, in nationwide problems with over- and under-development, and in the growing concerns about the sustainability of this nation's towns and cities in the face of global climate change.This crisis didn't arise from the specific circumstances of the housing market or shortfalls in the construction of new homes or increased labor and material costs.The current housing crisis is the result of state-sponsored discrimination in housing and land-use policy and the enforcement of racial and class-based discrimination by neighborhoods and cities.All of these phenomena have had long-lasting effects on access to housing and educational and economic opportunity.Just Shelter is a work of political philosophy that examines the core injustices of the contemporary U.S. housing crisis and its relation to enduring racial injustices.It examines the harms of segregation, and asks: are desegregation or integration morally required of our communities and societies?Are the concerns that are expressed about gentrification related to the moral and political concerns that we have with segregation?Is there a moral imperative, and would it be politically legitimate, for our communities and society to mitigate or stop gentrification?Just Shelter investigates gentrification, segregation, desegregation, integration, and homelessness.To achieve justice in social-spatial arrangements, federal, state, and local governments must prioritize the crafting and enforcement of housing policy that corrects the injustices of the past.If we do not address the history of racism in housing policy, we will never solve today's housing crisis.

African Migration to Thailand : Race, Mobility, and Integration
This book, based on exploratory ethnographic research, analyzes the experiences of African migrants in Thailand. Thailand has always been a regional migration hub with Africans being the most recent.Sitting at the intersection of race and migration studies, this book focuses on the challenges Black and labor migrants face trying to integrate into a society that has had very limited contact with and knowledge about Black Africans.Bringing together research from African, Thai, and European scholars, this volume focuses on forced migrants, such as Somali asylum seekers, and labor migrants, largely African men seeking better livelihoods in niche economies such as gem trading, garment wholesale, and football playing and coaching.The book also includes theoretical contributions to the understanding of precarity and human security, the concept of in/visibility to analyze the challenges African migrants face in Thailand as well as the concept of othering to understand discrimination against Africans.The book also analyzes the Thai migration policy context and the challenges facing Thai policy-makers, law enforcement representatives, and the migrants themselves.While not comparative in nature, this volume directly connects with studies of Africans in other parts of Asia, especially China. Addressing an important gap in migration research, this book will be of interest to researchers across the fields of migration and mobility studies, African Studies, and Asian Studies.

De-Whitening Intersectionality : Race, Intercultural Communication, and Politics
De-Whitening Intersectionality: Race, Intercultural Communication, and Politics re-evaluates how the logic of color-blindness as whiteness is at play in the current scope of intersectional research on race, intercultural communication, and politics.Calling for a re-centering of difference by exploring the emergence and inception of intersectionality concepts, the coeditors and contributors distinguish between the uses of intersectionality that seem inclusive versus those that actually enact inclusion by demonstrating how to re-conceptualize intersectionality in ways that explicate, elucidate, and elaborate culture-specific and text-specific nuances of knowledge for women of color, queer/trans-people of color, and non-western people of color who have been marked as the Others.As a feminist of color tradition, intersectionality has been appropriated through increasing popularity in the discipline of communication, undermining efforts to critique power when researchers reduce the concept to a checklist of identity markers.This book underscores that in order to play well with and illustrate a nuanced understanding of intersectionality; scholars must be attentive to its origins and implications.

The Maintenance Partnership Relationship : The Key to all Successful Asset Management Programs
This book's purpose is to discover and review the many relationships that maintenance will need to foster daily if it is to become best in class.Success in any walk of life is dependent on partner relationships.A successful marriage is based on a relationship in which both partners collectively embrace their similarities, whilst they collaborate to use each other's strengths to overcome weaknesses and bridge their differences.Where teams are concerned, there will be many partner relationships that will need to be navigated and managed separately to achieve a defined and unified level of success. On any single day, a maintainer must interact multiple times with internal and external resource partners to perform their job.To function professionally a maintenance department must set up and manage multiple partnerships on a continual basis.Partnerships are relationships that live or die based on an understanding of the input and output communications and tangible deliverables required from both sides to make quality management decisions and enable each partner to consistently deliver on their performance mandate at minimum cost. Building healthy business partner relationships allows both partners to state their respective points of view—and teaches us not to make assumptions on each other’s behalf.Understanding, measuring and tracking what we control lets us objectively define how and where the partnership must work together to better manage and resolve issues that are out of our control, or those we must simply manage.

What is actually the Germanic race or the Aryan race?
The term "Germanic race" or "Aryan race" has been historically used to describe a supposed superior race of people of Northern European descent. This concept was popularized by Nazi ideology in the 20th century, promoting the idea of a pure Aryan race as the ideal and superior race. However, these ideas have been widely discredited by modern science and are considered to be based on false and racist beliefs. It is important to recognize that race is a social construct with no scientific basis, and all humans are fundamentally equal regardless of their ancestry.

Which race plays as a mage in World of Warcraft in the Alliance? (subjective opinion)
In my subjective opinion, the best race to play as a mage in the Alliance in World of Warcraft is the Gnome. Gnomes have a racial ability called "Escape Artist" which allows them to break free from any immobilization or movement speed reduction effect, making them more mobile in combat. Additionally, their small size can make them harder to target in PvP situations. Overall, Gnomes make for a fun and strategic choice for players who enjoy playing as mages in the Alliance.

Why is there no bicycle race structured like a car race?
There are several reasons why bicycle races are not structured like car races. Firstly, bicycles are human-powered vehicles, so the speed and endurance of the riders are limited compared to cars. This means that the format of a car race, with long continuous laps, would not be practical for a bicycle race. Additionally, the size and maneuverability of bicycles make it more suitable for a course with tight turns and varied terrain, rather than the wide, smooth tracks used for car races. Finally, the safety considerations for bicycle races are different from those for car races, as the potential for injury is higher for cyclists. Therefore, the structure and format of bicycle races are tailored to the unique characteristics and limitations of the sport.

Which race in Skyrim?
In Skyrim, there are ten playable races to choose from: Nord, Imperial, Breton, Redguard, High Elf, Wood Elf, Dark Elf, Orc, Khajiit, and Argonian. Each race has its own unique abilities and bonuses, so the best race for a player to choose depends on their preferred playstyle and the type of character they want to role-play. Some players may prefer the Nord for their resistance to cold and battle prowess, while others may choose the High Elf for their magical abilities. Ultimately, the best race in Skyrim is subjective and depends on the individual player's preferences.
