The Fast Food Diet: Lose Weight and Feel Great Even If You're Too Busy to Eat Right - Original PDF
نویسندگان: خلاصه: America is a fast-food nation, for better and for worse.Consider the typical weekday. The alarm goes offand the family’s bare feet start hitting the floor immediately.Everyone’s probably running a little late because they didn’tget enough sleep. (Americans sleep an average of seven hoursa night, down from nine hours a century ago.) Getting the kidsready for school requires a Herculean effort: brushing teeth,washing faces, and digging under the couch for overduelibrary books. Time for a quick bowl of cereal? Probably not.So you rush out the door with an empty stomach. Maybeyou’ll snatch something on the way—or just do without any-thing to eat until lunch.This frenetic pace doesn’t let up at work. There’s hardlysuch a thing as a lunch “hour” anymore. More likely you’llgrab food at a take-out joint near the office and wolf it downon the way to the bank or some other errand. Then it’s back to1I N T R O D U C T I O NGet Smarter, Get Slimmeron Fast Foodwork until quitting time maybe five, six, or seven hours later.At that point your blood sugar is crashing and the last thing onyour mind is cooking something from scratch. Ravenous andstressed-out from your day, you point the car to KFC orWendy’s or Burger King. You want something fast becauseyou’re practically starving and there’s still the kids’ homeworkto oversee, chores to do, and perhaps a game or your favoriteTV show to catch before crashing into bed.Fast food is so affordable and plentiful that millions ofNorth Americans eat it every single day—or many times aweek. We now eat on average five meals a week outside thehome, in addition to snacking on convenience foods. The aver-age adult consumes three hamburgers and four orders of friesevery week. On any given day, 25 percent of all people inNorth America eat a fast-food meal. It’s just so easy to hop inthe car, zip the whole family through the drive-thru, and havedinner over and done in ten or fifteen minutes. No cooking, nocleanup, no stress—with time left over for errands and maybesome TV, plus change from a twenty-dollar bill
Wed Him Before You Bed Him (School for Heiresses) - PDF
نویسندگان: خلاصه: So what on earth had brought him here? She could not imagine a more awkward situation. Inall these years, she and David had never been alone together, never spoken of what she haddone to him.“Should I send him packing?” Terence asked.For a second, she was tempted. But something important indeed must have brought him tovisit the woman who had once wronged him so horribly. “No. Just show him in.”After Terence left, she checked her appearance in the mirror to make sure her auburn curlswere not too badly askew and her face not too pale. Perhaps it was foolish, but she wantedto look her best before him, of all people. She scarcely had time to smooth her skirts andpinch her cheeks before he was ushered into her office, bringing her face-to-face with theman she had nearly married so long ago.Pasting a smile on her lips, she walked forward with her hand extended. “Lord Kirkwood.How nice to see you again.”His eyes flashed with some hidden emotion. “Charlotte.” He took her hand and pressed itbriefly before releasing it.Charlotte. Not Mrs. Harris, but Charlotte, spoken in the husky tone that had made her heartflip over when she was eighteen and he nearly twenty.No, she must not think of that. Those days were gone forever, lost in the pages of theirpasts. Time and her own mistakes, as well as his, had changed them both irrevocably
So You Want to Be a School Leader? - Original PDF
نویسندگان: خلاصه: Have you ever had one of those moments when you set your-self a major challenge on the spur of the moment, and thenhave to see it through because you don’t want to lose face? Yes,well, a year or so on from that moment (a dreary afternoon inMarch 2007), I’m adding the final touches to this book!My role as author, then, has been simply to create an aspir-ational narrative which provides practical advice and guidancefor those of you who aspire to senior school leadership roles.Throughout the process of writing this book I’ve reflected uponand revisited those things which have proven themselves use-ful to me as I’ve developed my own leadership capabilities. I’mnot suggesting that I have it all worked out, but you may findthe guidance helpful.Of course, you may not agree with some of the recommenda-tions and you might not like the methodology. Well, just likea buffet meal, you haven’t got to eat everything – so take a bitof what appeals and don’t worry unduly about the rest. ButI am certain that there’s something for everyone. I hope theresult is a no-nonsense approach to school leadership which,though far from perfect, provides a suitable starting pointfrom which you can begin, or even accelerate, your own lead-ership journey.
Finding You Finding Me: Using Intensive Interaction To Get In Touch With People Whose Severe Learning Disabilities Are Combined With Autistic Spectrum Disorder - Original PDF
نویسندگان: خلاصه: What is this book about?Finding You Finding Me is about some of the many people with whom I havebeen involved over the last 35 years, whose severe learning difficulties arelinked with autism. While the majority are adult, some are children.Without exception, all those mentioned are on the autistic spectrum.For those of us who are sometimes known as neurotypical (NT), wholive with and support people on the spectrum, there is almost always afeeling of separation. In some respects this can be enhanced by definitionswhich separate ‘us’ and ‘them’ into categories – when the aim of this bookis to show how we can share common ground. Nevertheless, ‘neurotypical’is a convenient shorthand which is offered by people with autism and so Ishall use it gratefully, while remembering that we have common purposewhich I shall try to unravel as we move on. I shall think of us as partnerswith common purpose and endeavour.How can we get in touch with each other? Where is the key to relation-ship in a partnership which will consist of one person who is known asautistic and the other who may be a parent, support partner, therapist,community worker, advocate, manager or simply someone who would liketo be a friend but is baffled by the communication gulf ? Since the twopartners live in different sensory worlds, none of these roles will help us tomeet unless we can find some way of getting close to each other which iscomfortable for both of us.
The Essential Financial Toolkit: Everything You Always Wanted To Know About Finance But Were Afraid To Ask - Original PDF
نویسندگان: خلاصه: viPrefaceI have been lecturing executives in executive-educationprograms for many years now. The audiences are almostalways heterogeneous both in terms of age and nation-ality, and, more importantly, in terms of backgroundand training. Over time, I think I have learned to talk tothe “average” participant in a program, without boringthose that know some finance and without leaving farbehind those that have little or no idea about it.Part of the reason I have achieved this has to do withhaving provided participants with some backgroundreadings before the beginning of a program. The goalof the readings is to bring those without trainingin finance up to speed, which is valuable on at leasttwo counts. First, those that do have some training infinance do not get bored with discussions of basic tools;and, second, it liberates precious time to focus on issuesmore central to the program. The ten chapters of thisbook were born as independent notes written for thesevery reasons.As happens to many authors, after failing to find some-thing that would fit what I needed, I decided to writeit myself. And the characteristics I had in mind for thenotes I was about to write were the following

Careers for gourmets & others who relish food - Original PDF
نویسندگان: خلاصه: re there opportunities in the food industry? I say thereare. Just fifty years ago, it was not considered a goodidea for a young person to contemplate a career in cook-ing. Agriculture, yes, but not in the preparation of food or in thefew elements that made up the food industry at that time. As anation, our interest in good food has increased dramatically, andit will continue to increase. We are no longer a nation of meat,potatoes, and apple pie eaters. We want good vegetables andfruit, good cheese, and good prepared products.How has all of this evolved? First of all, it was the passionshared by a few food enthusiasts such as Julia Child, James Beard,Craig Claiborne, Elizabeth David, and Alice Waters. All of themwere exposed to the foods of France and Italy and decided thatAmerica needed change in its eating habits. And change it hashad! Many young people today share that passion and are find-ing satisfying and rewarding careers—not just cooking, but in allparts of the food industry: writing, teaching, catering, small spe-cialized agriculture, as well as baking and candy or jam making.Five years ago would you have thought that Italian-type bis-cotti, made by small bakers, would be available in every special-ized food shop in America? Or that small farmer’s markets wouldagain be the way to get fresher fruit and vegetables? There aremany changes taking place in what we eat, where we eat, andwho provides our food. It all depends on people with a passionfor food and the will to share it with others.Chuck WilliamsFounder, Vice-Chairman of the BoardWilliams-Sonoma, Inc.

Passing psychometric tests: know what to expect and get the job you want - PDF
نویسندگان: خلاصه: There are three things you have to do if you want to pass a psychometric test.No 1. perhaps the most important thing of all, is don’t panic. By the very act ofbuying this book you’ve already upped your chances of passing by a very long way.Familiarisation is the name of the game, and if you know what to expect, you can reducethe fear factor considerably.No. 2. is slightly obvious (although not to everyone) and that is to practise.It’s amazing how far you can improve your test scores with a bit of practice, especially ifyou haven’t taken many psychometric tests before.No 3. is to cheat. Well, not literally. I’m not advocating taking binoculars into thetest and stealing the other candidates answers (although it’s rather an enticing idea). Butwhat if you could find out in advance what you’ll be up against? What if you could find outexactly what type of test you’ll be taking and what the pass mark is? Surely that would giveyou the edge over all the other applicants?Not cheating at all really. Actually it’s extremely sensible, not to mention easy, andI’m going to show you how to do it.In this book I explain all there is to know about psychometric tests; what they are,what they measure, who uses them, why they’re used, how they’re changing, how tosurvive them, and even how to avoid them altogether!And because the whole point of this book is to familiarise you with the differenttypes of test and give you the chance to practice (thereby helping you improve yourperformance) I include 35 practice tests!These are not ‘made up’ tests that you sometimes see in books about psychometrics,nor are they puzzles or quizzes of the magazine variety. They are genuine practice tests fromthe biggest test publisher in the world; SHL Group plc. This is the genuine article.
