Cinderella Was a Liar: The Real Reason You Cant Find (or Keep) a Prince - Original PDF
نویسندگان: خلاصه: ecently my girlfriends and I uncorked severalbottles of wine, sat back, and shared our deepest secrets,best advice, and most candid opinions about men,love, dating, and relationships. We werehaving quite the little pity-party when itoccurred to me that we were all complaining about the samething: no man was living up to our sky-high ideals. Not eventhe “good” ones. “Where in the hell is my prince?” my girl-friend yelled. We all laughed, but then the room fell silent, andsoon the smiles faded.It was a question we’d been asking ourselves since we firstgot that woozy feeling when our favorite boy walked by in gradeschool. And here we were, in our late twenties and thirties, stillwaiting for answers to come trotting in on a beautiful, whitestallion.The Fairy Tale That Started It AllSo, where in the heck did this fascination with the ultimateromance come from anyway? When did we start believing inthe idea of a perfect man who would swoop into our lives andeliminate the negatives? Well, for me it was at the age of fourwhen my great-aunt Vyvian introduced me to a saucy chick bythe name of Cinderella.
I Will Always Love You - PDF
نویسندگان: خلاصه: Tis the season to be jolly. Fa la la la la, la la la la. Don we now our gay apparel… which just sohappens to have been made for us by the little elves at Givenchy or YSL or Oscar de la Renta. Who arewe , you ask? The residents of Manhattan’s Golden Mile, of course—that glorious stretch of doormanbuildings above Fifty-ninth Street and below Eighty-sixth. It’s Christmastime, time to deck our sprawlingUpper East Side penthouses with silver and gold baubles, twinkly lights, velvet bows, and chocolatesimported from belle Paris. Here the holidays are always a little more sparkly, a little brighter, a littlebetter. It’s so, so good to be back.While I’m not about to tell you where I’ve been for the past few months, I will tell you that thereis lifeafter high school. Yes, it finally happened: We went to college. During the past semester we encounteredpeople who haven’t seen us naked (yet), and who don’t know our SAT scores; who don’t rememberthat time we wet our pants in kindergarten, or when we got our ears pierced. We’ve learned a few newthings, made a few new friends, and have even maybe met the loves our lives. We’vechanged—hopefully for the better. And we’re just as fabulous as always.TakeB , for instance. She’s spending a perfect holiday with her perfect Yale boyfriend and his perfectfamily at their idyllic Vermont compound. That girl always had her eye on the prize. Speaking of prizes,what’sS up to these days? No longer hounded by overeager, fashion-conscious Constance Billard girls,she’s now trailed by the paparazzi and a posse of wannabe movie starlets while she cools herLouboutins, waiting for her nomination for the SAG Awards. No matter where she is or what she does,Swill always be one to watch.Then there are those who’ve tried their darnedest to change:N has been sailing around the world for thelast four months. But as we learned from Kant in our freshman seminars, no man is an island. He’ll beback—sooner rather than later, we hope. Then there’sD , scratching out existential poetry in his blackMoleskine notebook in the Pacific Northwest. It may look like a total lifestyle change, but he still insistson Folgers crystals instead of French press in the coffee capital of the U.S. He also spends every wakingmoment Skyping his shaven-headed, ultra-independent filmmaker girlfriend,V , who’s at NYU andseems to almost have…hair . And friends?! And finally there’sC , last seen with a pack offlannel-wearing, log-lifting, very rugged boys out in Nevada or Montana or someplace with no cities andlots of cattle. Is he into a new type, or has he gone through yet another reinvention? That man putsMadonna to shame
Dr. Joe & What You Didn't Know: 99 Fascinating Questions About the Chemistry of Everyday Life - PDF
نویسندگان: خلاصه: What does being barefoot and pregnant on a cactus have todo with cherry ice cream? You probably think that's a prettybizarre question. But there is method to the madness. For overtwo decades now, I've tried to answer the public's questionsabout everyday chemistry on the radio, I hope with somedegree of success. Then, a few years ago, I had an idea. Whynot spice things up by turning the situation around and askingmy audience questions?Everybody seems to like quiz shows, especially when thereare prizes at stake, so I took to beginning each program with aquestion, offering a prize for the first right answer. We're talkinglocal radio here, not national TV, so the prizes were modest, buwe did manage to come up with some books, gift certificates,restaurant meals, and highly coveted "Dr. Joe" T-shirts. A newadventure was in the offing! I started off with some prettystraightforward questions — like, "Why does ouzo turn whitewhen you add water to it?"; and, "What is emu oil?"; and, "Whydoes lemon juice lighten the color of tea?" All good questions, Ithought, and somewhat challenging.Indeed, for the first few weeks, callers struggled to answermy questions; then suddenly it seemed as though they hadtaken smart pills. They started providing the correct answers7INTRODUCTIONDR. JOE SCHWARCZwith impressive frequency. It didn't take long for me to figureout what was going on. I wasn't testing the audience anymore,I was posing my questions to Google. And Google, as weknow, is pretty smart. As soon as a question passed my lips,those little fingers hit the keyboard. I tried instituting an honorcode, requesting that respondents not run to their computers.Yeah, sure.Obviously, another approach was needed. I attempted tophrase the questions in ways that would confound the searchengines. Like, "What is the connection between tangerine trees,marmalade skies, and morning glory?"; or, "What is the linkbetween Frankenstein and frog legs?" This approach seemed towork, and that's why you'll find a number of unusual-sound-ing questions in this little volume, which is a collection of thequestions I've posed on my radio show over the years. Ofcourse, you'll also find the answers — at least, my version ofthem.The questions come from a number of fields, but all havesome interesting scientific connection. There is no specific orderto the questions, no systematic attempt to educate. What I'vetried to do is demonstrate science's broad scope and show howscientific pursuit links to so many areas of our culture. So,come along for the ride, poke around, read a little here, a littlethere, pick up some bits of knowledge to fling around thedinner table, and have some fun doing it. And if you want toknow what being barefoot and pregnant on a cactus has to dowith cherry ice cream, just turn the page.
You're Hired: How to Succeed in Business and Life from the Winner of The Apprentice - Original PDF
نویسندگان: خلاصه: Let’s get one thing straight right from the start. Eversince I walked away with the top prize on the NBC re-ality show The Apprentice, starring Donald Trump—ajob running a division of The Trump Organization, at a start-ing salary of $250,000—I’ve been on the receiving end of arush of public attention that has shone a weird (and some-times harsh) spotlight on everything I’ve done, everythingI’m doing, and everything I might do next.Okay, so I might have suspected as much going in, but Ididn’t think things through. Why? Well, I wasn’t conditionedto think about things like celebrity and publicity and peopleasking for an autograph while you’re hurrying to catch aplane. I thought about the opportunities the show wouldoffer, the chance to work alongside Donald Trump and to testmy business instincts against some of the best and brightestyoung entrepreneurs the producers could find, but I didn’tthink about any fame or fortune that might come my way asa result. That wasn’t what it was all about—at least not forme. There were sixteen of us on the show to start, and we’ve1

Everything You Wanted to Know About ADHD (...But Forgot You Wanted to Ask) - PDF
نویسندگان: خلاصه: . Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) has been divided into three clusters of symptoms: hyperactive, impulsive, and inattentive. As each patient presents with a specific degree of impairment in these three categories, a patient can, according to the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders IV (DSM-IV), be placed into the following subtypes: the predominantly inattentive type, the predominantly hyperactive- impulsive type and lastly the combined type, which is also the most frequent one.
Gastric Bypass Surgery: Everything You Need to Know to Make an Informed Decision - PDF
نویسندگان: خلاصه: You have picked up this book because you want to lose weight. You’ve tried every weight loss program there is, and, as with most overweight people, while some of those programs have worked for a while, in the end the weight has always come back. You want something permanent. Weight loss surgery is a daunting decision, and a bit fright- ening, too, but it is undoubtedly the most effective approach to long-term enduring weight loss. As you consider weight loss surgery, you will have many questions. In my practice as a physician who treats people with obesity-related illnesses, I have helped many people navigate the sea of scientific jargon and bewildering proce- dures that this process entails. Most of my patients have the same questions. This book will give you the answers you need to make the right decision. But before you consider weight loss surgery, there are two questions you need to ask yourself: 1. Are you, in fact, a candidate for such a procedure?
Is Parallel Programming Hard, And, If So, What Can You Do About It? (2011-01-02 draft) - PDF
نویسندگان: خلاصه: Preface The purpose of this book is to help you under- stand how to program shared-memory parallel ma- chines without risking your sanity.1 By describing the algorithms and designs that have worked well in the past, we hope to help you avoid at least some of the pitfalls that have beset parallel projects. But you should think of this book as a foundation on which to build, rather than as a completed cathe- dral. You mission, if you choose to accept, is to help make further progress in the exciting field of paral- lel programming, progress that should in time render this book obsolete. Parallel programming is not as hard as it is reputed, and it is hoped that this book makes it even easier for you. This book follows a watershed shift in the parallel- programming field, from being primarily the domain of science, research, and grand-challenge projects to being primarily an engineering discipline. In pre- senting this engineering discipline, this book will ex- amine the specific development tasks peculiar to par- allel programming, and describe how they may be most effectively handled, and, in some surprisingly common special cases, automated. This book is written in the hope that present- ing the engineering discipline underlying successful parallel-programming projects will free a new gener- ation of parallel hackers from the need to slowly and painstakingly reinvent old wheels, instead focusing their energy and creativity on new frontiers. Al- though the book is intended primarily for self-study, it is likely to be more generally useful. It is hoped that this book will be useful to you, and that the ex- perience of parallel programming will bring you as much fun, excitement, and challenge as it has pro- vided the authors over the years.

You've GOT to Read This Book! LP: 55 People Tell the Story of the Book That Changed Their Life - PDF
نویسندگان: خلاصه: This book asks a lot of questions to help you learn how to study effectively. But there are no “right” or “wrong” answers here. Every question is designed to help you discover how you learn, and to help you do more of what works for you—whether you’re reading a text, listening to a lecture, writing a paper, or preparing for a test. For example, in order to understand what you’re reading right now, you are doing something that works for you. Maybe you’re reading this out loud. Or “hearing” your voice in your head as you read this silently. Perhaps you are making pictures on paper. Maybe you’re reading this as you’re walking. You might be reading all this in an orderly way, making a kind of outline in your head as you go along. Each of these ways is a different learning style. And the early chap- ters in this book focus on helping you find your own learning style. Later chapters help you work with your learning style so you can use it more often. The icons shown to the left stand for the five learning styles you’ll find out about in this book. Once you’ve identified your learning style in Chapter 2, “Discovering How You Learn,” you can look in the later chap- ters for the icon that stands for your style to find study tips that will help you take advantage of your strength. You’re more comfortable when you’re using your own style because you’re understanding more. And when you’re comfortable, you’re more receptive—you find it easier to get involved with what you’re studying, as you’ll see in Chapter 9, “Getting Involved in Learning.” When you’re involved with what you’re studying, it doesn’t feel like work; it becomes something you enjoy. Getting satisfaction from what you’re studying requires careful planning. Dividing big jobs into little ones makes overwhelming tasks more bearable. There’s a chapter in this book on that, too. Sometimes people can’t pay close attention to their studying because something else needs to be done. Spending a few minutes on that other job before studying will ease the conscience—thus making studying more productive. Also, some people work best if they work on several things at once. Maybe you’ve heard, “Can’t you just do one thing at a time?” Well, for you perhaps the answer is, “No, I can’t. I work best if I go back and forth between two or three projects. If I try to stick to one job at a time, I get distracted and don’t work well.” Many people work best this wayآیا کتاب مورد نظر هنوز بر روی سایت قرار نگرفته است؟ جای نگرانی نیست! کافی است بر روی گزینه سفارش کتاب کلیک کرده و درخواست خود را ثبت کنید. در کمتر از چند ساعت کتاب شما را آماده خواهیم کرد.
