نویسندگان: خلاصه: 69.8 percent of New Yorkers rent; 61.4 percent ofLos Angelenos rent; 56.2 percent of Chicagoans rent;and 54.2 percent of Houstoners rent. Renting is easierthan owning a home because you don’t have to worryabout things like a mortgage, property tax,homeowners associations and making home improve-ments. There are benefits to owning a home (as wellas a few pitfalls)…but that’s another book.The focus of this book is on those who rent, becauseeven though renters usually find that they don’t haveto pay for maintenance, garbage removal, utilities andwater, etc., they may find themselves responsible for,well, some bad luck. It doesn’t matter whether you’rerenting a town home, a condominium, a bachelorpad, a single-family detached home or a 5,000 squarefoot penthouse.You could return from a business trip and find thateverything you owned has been burned by a fire.You could leave the bathtub running for too longand flood your apartment, as well as two units be-low you. You could be sued by your favorite FedExdelivery man for causing him to slip and fall be-cause he didn’t see those boxes you left out in thehallway.
I Am No One You Know: Stories - Original PDF
نویسندگان: خلاصه: They’d been drinking since about 10:00 p.m. We saw this guy walk-ing by himself by the railroad track, cutting through a field and onto Route11, it looked kind of weird, suspicious. We didn’t know who it was . . . Well,maybe they could see the boy was dark-skinned. Maybe one of themyelled out Nigger! Those skid marks in the gravel . . . Maybe Leo, whowas driving, aimed the car at the kid just to scare him, to make himrun. After that, things got confused.It had been approximately 12:15 a.m. on April 9, 1973, whenJadro Filer left his girlfriend’s house to walk back to his home, a ten-minute walk under ordinary circumstances, across the railroad em-bankment, along the highway shoulder past darkened gas stations, aTaco Bell, a McDonald’s. It was 12:50 a.m. when an emergency callwas made reporting a badly beaten young man lying in a roadsideditch near a railroad culvert. (No other call was reported that night.But the following morning, when news of the beating began to spreadthrough Perrysburg, an anonymous caller would report to police thathe’d seen what appeared to be a new-model Buick in the vicinity ofthe attack scene, parked off the highway shortly after midnight. Thecaller, slowing, then accelerating to speed past, had an impression offour or five young white men “involved in some activity like fight-ing.” The caller would supply police with the first three digits of a carregistered to Leo Dellamora.) By 12:50 a.m., however, Leo andMario were back home. They’d dropped Walt and Don Brinkhausoff, and come directly to Crescent Avenue. At this time they hadn’tknown, would claim they’d had no idea, that Jadro Filer had beenbeaten so badly he’d never regain consciousness. They were aroused,excited. Maybe a little panicked. I overheard them speaking togetherin low, urgent voices. I heard “nigger” several times repeated. I heardtheir nervous laughter.

The Complete Canadian Eldercare Guide: Expert Solutions to Help You Make the Best Decisions for Your Loved Ones - PDF
نویسندگان: خلاصه: E ldercare and its inherent superhero responsibilities are the new facts of life for aging Canadians and the invincible baby boomers. Today, as adult sons and daughters with high-maintenance careers, as spouses with ailing partners or rela- tives, we find ourselves juggling work, life, and care responsibility. We are, as the saying goes, “sandwiched” between the care needs of others and our still-dependent children. Research shows that families are, for the most part, unpre- pared for the eldercare challenges that lie ahead. Many move directly into “care in crisis” mode, make plans on the fly, and regret not making decisions about aging issues in advance. Workplace health, wellness, and productivity issues are huge. Today, employers and governments identify productivity, absen- teeism, presenteeism, and retention as key factors for their aging work forces with the statistics pointing to eldercare as one of the biggest hurdles to overcome. Of note: • More than 3.5 million Canadians are currently over the age of 65. By the year 2020, that number will more than double.1 • For 70% of Canadians age 30 to 60, caregiving for aging parents is now a reality with eldercare being shared across families.2 • More than 70% of informal caregivers are women, most often wives (24%) or adult daughters (29%).

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.
The Scooter Book: Everything you need to know about owning, enjoying and maintaining your scooter - PDF
نویسندگان: خلاصه: In all the solemn statements by self-important politicians and newspaper columnists about a coming war against Iraq, and even in the troubled comments by some who are opposed to the war, there is something missing. The talk is about strate- gy and tactics and geopolitics, and personalities. It is about air war and ground war, about alliances and weapons of mass destruction, and arms inspections, about oil and natural gas, about nation-building and “regime change.” What is missing is what an American war on Iraq will do to tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands of ordinary human beings who are not concerned with geopolitics and military strategy, and who just want their children to live, to grow up. They are not concerned with “national security” but with personal security, with food and shelter and medical care and peace. I am speaking of those Iraqis and those Americans who will, with absolute certainty, die in such a war, or lose arms or legs, or be blinded. Or they will be stricken with some strange and agonizing sickness, which will lead to their bringing deformed children into the world (as happened to families in Vietnam, in Iraq, and also in the United States). True, there has been some discussion of American casu- alties resulting from a land invasion of Iraq. But, as always when the strategists discuss this, the question is not about the wounded and dead as human beings, but about what number of American casualties would result in public withdrawal of support for the war, and what effect this would have on the upcoming elections for Congress and the presidency.
Confessions from the Corner Office : 15 Instincts That Will Help You Get There - Original PDF
نویسندگان: خلاصه: as I juggled my job as an account executive at an ad agency with the demands of being a wife and mother. I remember being quite nervous that particular day be- cause of a big presentation I was making later that morning—in fact, the biggest presentation of my ca- reer. Also, I had just made the decision to spend more time with my 11⁄ 2 -year-old daughter by taking the part-time job a friend had offered me at his public re- lations agency. I was getting ready to walk out the door when my husband of six years came into the kitchen and told me we needed to talk—and no, it couldn’t wait. He announced that he had met some- one else and wanted a divorce and that he was moving out immediately. To say that this was shocking and unexpected news would be the understatement of the decade. There had been no visible signs of marital problems, no arguments, no separation, no counseling—no warning. In an instant and without warning, I suddenly became the mommy and daddy, chief bottle washer, and sole breadwinner. I was consumed with fear and uncer- tainty, but falling apart was not an option at the mo- ment. I stuffed the shock and emotions in my pocket, went to work, and proceeded to make the presenta- tion that morning. Then, I came home and cried. At that moment, I made a decision and a silent promise to my daughter. I would do whatever it took to provide the life for Melissa that I had envisioned. I had absolutely no idea how, but I was determined to find out. Armed with my new decision and lots of resolve, I did two things. First, I told my friend that I couldn’t take the part-time job, and then, I told my boss
You've Gotta Have Heart: Achieving Purpose Beyond Profit in the Social Sector - Original PDF
نویسندگان: خلاصه: When Jeannie was born in February 1986, she was to be immedi- ately given up for adoption. But because she had a serious heart defect and other medical issues, her adoptive parents-to-be backed out. A second family, the Bornemanns, claimed Jeannie as their daugh- ter. They saw her for the first time when she was just three days old. She had IVs in her head, chest, and both hands and feet, and she had tubes in her nose. Their first words were “Hi, teeny Jeannie! Mommy and Daddy are here!” Jeannie had an extremely rare set of conditions—transposition of the great vessels, pulmonary stenosis, and a ventricular septal defect. Her heart’s chambers and arteries were reversed. Not much was known about this condition then—more research was desperately needed. Jeannie’s doctors inserted a flexible tube called a shunt to increase blood flow. It was all they could do. They hoped that she would get big- ger and stronger and that research would provide new knowledge and tools to help them help her. Jeannie didn’t grow normally. When she was 5, she weighed just 22 pounds and was 29 inches tall. But she was finally strong enough for the corrective surgery that doctors had been waiting to do. Jeannie’s quality of life improved a lot after her surgery. She went to school, played T-ball and soccer, and followed her medical instructions without complaint. Despite a severe hearing impairment, she became a fanatic music lover, especially the music of Elvis. She loved people and life and looked like any other normal, healthy kid—except she was hearing impaired, legally blind, and undersized and had a heart defect. In 1999, at age 13, Jeannie was looking forward to spending a week at a special camp. It was a place where kids with heart disease could make friends, share experiences, and enjoy hiking, fishing, horseback riding, making crafts, and singing around the campfire—while being supervised by doctors, nurses, and other volunteer camp counselors. Swimming was a favorite activity, because, since all the kids have sur- gical scars, no one is embarrassed—they even compare scars! The day before camp started, Jeannie fell from a tree, breaking her collarbone. She was undaunted and still went to camp. By the next year, Jeannie’s health had begun to decline. Research advances offered new hope, and Jeannie’s cardiologist proposed a heart transplant. Her parents were afraid—but not Jeannie. On the night before she was set to go back to camp, the call came. A heart was available. Jeannie missed camp that year but got her new heart. Jeannie had severe complications after her transplant. She spent thirteen of the next thirty-six months in the hospital. Between hospital stays, she lived the fullest life she could, singing on stage in high school, acting with a performing arts group, going to two homecoming dances, and traveling. When she was 17, Jeannie got very sick and again went to the hospi- tal. While she was there, she wrote a short note about the fun she’d had at camp: making friends, doing crafts, hearing silly jokes, and singing a song that ended like this: When the bugs bite, when the bees sting, when I’m feeling sad, I simply remember my Boggy Creek things, and then I don’t feel so bad.آیا 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.
