Old Friend, We Made This for You - Original PDF
نویسندگان: خلاصه: This collection of poetry is a plea and a gift from two black youths to Africans of the continent and the Diaspora. We sought to explore the broadest themes and most salient of issues facing Africans. Through these poems and essays we offer our views, ideas, questions, and art first and foremost to our people, our 'Old friends'. "Old Friend, We Made This For You" is our contribution as two, young, black, ready poets to the discourse on Africa and Africa's redemption. Marshall and Aganga met in secondary school in Botswana. Shortly after sharing poems and ideas they began working on a project that reflected a Pan-Afrikan vision from both the African and African Diaspora's perspective. That project evolved into a collection of poems called "Old Friend We Made This For You". Olayemi Aganga born in Nigeria and living most of his life in Botswana has a unique understanding of the issues facing the continent. Living in Sub-Saharan Africa he has witnessed the regions plight with Aids, violence and poverty and has first-hand experience of what it means to be an expatriate Nigerian in Southern Africa. As such his poems are well rooted in the politics, culture and the urban experience on the continent. Yannick Marshall born in Canada to black Caribbean parents has a firm understanding of the Caribbean immigrant experience and what it means to be black and a descendant of slaves in North America. As a member of the black conscious African Diaspora his poems reflect the slave and post-slavery experience and the slave's mystic romanticism of the continent.

You and Your Arrhythmia: A Guide to Heart Rhythm Problems for Patients & Their Families - PDF
نویسندگان: خلاصه: Cardiac arrhythmias are among our most common afflictions. Usuallythey have little clinical importance and present no risk to the life ofpatients who have them. Occasionally, however, they can produce trou-blesome symptoms and may even bring about the patient’s death.*Arrhythmias produce rapid, slow, or irregular heartbeats of whichsome patients may be acutely conscious, whereas others may beunaware. Explaining what arrhythmias are and how doctors treatthem—when that is necessary—is the purpose of this book.First I explain the anatomy and physiology of the heart, particularlyof the electrical components that give rise to arrhythmias.Then I describe most of the arrhythmias that patients maydevelop. Each chapter has been built around the experiences of apatient for whom the author or one his colleagues has cared. In somecases, I have changed the stories slightly to facilitate understandingand to avoid confusing the picture with issues that the doctors mighthave needed to consider but are unrelated to the topic being dis-cussed. In the next section, I explain how cardiologists use drugs andixPreface* For a more comprehensive discussion of the subject, some readers may want to con-sult the author’s text Arrhythmias (Philadelphia, W.B. Saunders, 2000).devices such as pacemakers and implantable defibrillators to treatarrhythmias.I then invite the reader to take a short course in electrocardiography,for it is this familiar test that we use to diagnose arrhythmias and evaluatethe effects of treatment. The reader will find electrocardiograms of someof the arrhythmias discussed in the case reports to see how cardiologistsrecognize which arrhythmia is which.The analysis of arrhythmias has, in recent decades, become so complexthat a subspecialty of cardiology has developed for those who study thissubject. Some call the practitioners of this art arrhythmologists, a name thatno reader of this book is required to learn. Many arrhythmologists work incardiac electrophysiology laboratories, large rooms filled with electroniccomputerized equipment where the details of patients’ arrhythmias arestudied and appropriate treatments are planned and instituted. By describ-ing what goes on in these laboratories, I will try to relieve some of the con-cern that patients who undergo these procedures may have and dispelsome of the mystery about what those working in these laboratories aredoing.
I'll Miss You Too: An Off-to-College Guide for Parents and Students - PDF
نویسندگان: خلاصه: The creation of our first book, I’ll Miss You Too, result-ed from a decision that we, as mother and daughter,made dealing with our own emotional challengesduring the off-to-college transition.

The more welearned and understood, the more open and effectiveour communication became.The 2001 publishing of our book and subsequentspeaking engagements about the college transitionprovided the opportunity for us to speak to parents,students, and school counselors from all parts of thecountry. During our visits, people were eager to learnfrom our journey as well as share their own storiesand experiences about this significant life transition.A new book has evolved from this knowledge. Thecollective wisdom gained has enriched its content. Wehope that I’ll Miss You Too, through its frank and some-times poignant messages, will help you, as parentsxiiiPrefaceand students, share a healthy college transition.Know that whatever it is you are experiencing, youare not alone.
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.
Do You Love Football?: Winning with Heart, Passion, and Not Much Sleep - Original PDF
نویسندگان: خلاصه: AS FAR BACK AS I CAN REMEMBER, I’ve lived and died on every gameday. I don’t think I can ever recall a time when football—in oneform or another—didn’t have a major influence on everything Ithought, everything I said, everything I did.High school. College. Pro. Our family was moving aroundwith each coaching job my dad held at all three levels. Or I wasplaying quarterback in high school. Or I was hoping to see thefield as a college quarterback. Or I was changing coaching jobsmyself in a never-ending quest for knowledge and improvement.Football really is all I know. Other than going to the beachonce in a while and watching the waves, it’s really the onlyinterest I have outside of my wife and our three boys. I’m not ascratch golfer. I don’t know how to bowl. I can’t read the stockmarket. Hell, I have a hard time remembering my wife’s cellphone number. But I can call, “Flip Right Double X Jet 36Counter Naked Waggle at 7 X Quarter” in my sleep.I love the competition of the game. I love the players whoplay it. I love the strategy, the variables. I love the smell of thegrass, the sound of the stadium. I love the thrill of victory. I liketo see how we respond to the adversity that a loss brings and tothe sudden changes that we have to deal with, whether it’s afumble, an interception, a fifteen-yard penalty, or somethingworse, like our right tackle suffering a broken ankle. What’s theweather going to be like? What kind of crowd will we have?Football is the ultimate team gameآیا 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.
