With the constant stream of unrealistic and dangerous standards bombarding us from all sides, we can only draw one conclusion. Despite everything our bodies do for us, they are not as they should be, and many of us battle our entire lives chasing an ever elusive end goal. While we chase the impossible, we avoid sharing about our disabilities, chronic illnesses, or our perceived flaws or deformities because we feel alone, or we don't want anyone to feel uncomfortable. These are real stories, told with humour, love, self-awareness and frankness, shared so we can all feel less alone in our skins. To show each other that we are all, in fact, more than good enough.

Katie Peridot quite likes being ordinary. Unfortunately, some very out-of-the-ordinary things have been happening to her. On top of this her best friend, Mayuri, isn't her best friend anymore, a sinister sponsorship programme is taking over her school, her mother is acting more crazy than usual and the only person who really seems to understand her is a peculiar cleaning lady. Then she teams up with Themba, the cleverest (and most unpopular) boy at school, and together their investigation takes them deep into the town's abandoned mine. What they find there is more terrible than they could have imagined. Can they save Witchfield before it's too late?
"I saw my mommy walking to the court with a hoodie on and a scarf covering her face. She looked almost like someone that was poor. People were cursing at her... and that broke me. This is the woman who was there for me every day, making lunch for me and my friends when we came from school, and now here she is on television being called a criminal.” The kidnapping of baby Zephany Nurse from the cot beside her mother’s hospital bed made headline news. Desperate pleas from her parents to return her safely went unanswered. There was no trace of the baby. For 17 years, on her birthday, the Nurse family lit candles and hoped and prayed. Living not far away from the Nurses, 17-year-old Miché S...
Society tells us what is right and what is wrong based on unrealistic expectations. In the end, though, no matter how unique our experiences seem, they aren't wrong: they simply are. The Keeping It Under Wraps anthology series provides a safe space to change the narrative, to speak openly about individual experiences, and in the end to understand that while each experience is different, we are not so different from each other. Let's start the conversation. What better place to start than with sex? Sexual health, sexual preferences, and sexual experiences: no stigma, no shame, no more keeping it under wraps.
This book provides a comparative analysis of performance budgeting and financing implementation, and examines failures and successes across both developed and developing countries. Beginning with a review of theoretical research on performance budgeting and financing, the book synthesises the numerous studies on the subject. The book describes the situation in the US, Australia, New Zealand, Germany, Austria and Switzerland, Netherlands and Italy, as well as in seven developing countries - Bulgaria, Czech Republic, Slovakia, Slovenia, Ukraine, Russia and South Africa, at the national, and at the local level. Each chapter provides historical and descriptive details of successful or failed experiments in performance budgeting and performance financing.
This series, published by the Institute for Democracy in South Africa (IDASA), is the first serious local attempt to examine the gender impact of key aspects of the budget in that country. The series does not describe a separate budget for women; rather it is an examination of all programmes, policies and allocated funds in the national budget of the country for their impact on women. Each book analyses the budget votes of the different government bodies and ministries. The series serve as essential reading for anyone interested in the transformation of South African society, and the understanding it offers of budget processes can be applied to similar deliberations in societies within Africa and around the world. Content is based on chapters from The Women's Budget and The Second Women's Budget. It serves as a summary and brief analysis.
