Conquering Stroke: How I Fought My Way Back and How You Can Too - PDF
نویسندگان: خلاصه: T WELVE YEARS AGO, at age thirty-one, I was riding high. Ihad a successful career, a fancy car, a posh address, a closetfull of designer-label clothes, and more friends than I couldname. Then without any warning, it all fell apart when in June1996 I suffered a catastrophic stroke. It was one of the worstkinds, caused by a large blood clot that blocked my basal artery,where all routes to the brain merge into one. You don’t hear toomuch about this form of stroke, as nine out of ten victims dieimmediately. Although I was one of the lucky few, it left me halfp aralyzed, deaf in one ear, and unable to speak or even swal-low. The doctors told me I would probably never walk again.Like most patients in the aftermath of a massive stroke, Isank into a deep abyss. When three psychiatrists came into myroom and tried to encourage me to accept my limitations, itfelt like a death sentence. But instead of succumbing to it,something deep within me resisted. That moment ignited aspark that grew in strength during the weeks that followed,firing up my determination to begin the fight of my life. I justdidn’t know how to begin. My thinking was disoriented and Icouldn’t express myself verbally or in writing.
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

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.
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.

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
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 game

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.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.
