Download or read book The Quote Verifier written by Ralph Keyes and published by St. Martin's Griffin. This book was released on 2007-04-01 with total page 416 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Our language is full of hundreds of quotations that are often cited but seldom confirmed. Ralph Keyes's The Quote Verifier considers not only classic misquotes such as "Nice guys finish last," and "Play it again, Sam," but more surprising ones such as "Ain't I a woman?" and "Golf is a good walk spoiled," as well as the origins of popular sayings such as "The opera ain't over till the fat lady sings," "No one washes a rented car," and "Make my day." Keyes's in-depth research routinely confounds widespread assumptions about who said what, where, and when. Organized in easy-to-access dictionary form, The Quote Verifier also contains special sections highlighting commonly misquoted people and genres, such as Yogi Berra and Oscar Wilde, famous last words, and misremembered movie lines. An invaluable resource for not just those with a professional need to quote accurately, but anyone at all who is interested in the roots of words and phrases, The Quote Verifier is not only a fascinating piece of literary sleuthing, but also a great read.
Book Synopsis "Right Makes Might" by : Wolfgang Mieder
Download or read book "Right Makes Might" written by Wolfgang Mieder and published by Indiana University Press. This book was released on 2019-04-04 with total page 398 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “A powerful and timely addition to the literature of rhetoric and folklore.” —Choice In 1860, Abraham Lincoln employed the proverb Right makes might—opposite of the more aggressive Might makes right—in his famed Cooper Union address. While Lincoln did not originate the proverb, his use of it in this critical speech indicates that the fourteenth century phrase had taken on new ethical and democratic connotations in the nineteenth century. In this collection, famed scholar of proverbs Wolfgang Mieder explores the multifaceted use and function of proverbs through the history of the United States, from their early beginnings up through their use by such modern-day politicians as Barack Obama, Hillary Rodham Clinton, and Bernie Sanders. Building on previous publications and unpublished research, Mieder explores sociopolitical aspects of the American worldview as expressed through the use of proverbs in politics, women’s rights, and the civil rights movement—and by looking at the use of proverbial phrases, Mieder demonstrates how one traditional phrase can take on numerous expressive roles over time, and how they continue to play a key role in our contemporary moment.

Book Synopsis Crushing the IT Gender Bias by : Kellyn Pot’Vin-Gorman
Download or read book Crushing the IT Gender Bias written by Kellyn Pot’Vin-Gorman and published by Apress. This book was released on 2019-04-24 with total page 182 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Conscious and unconscious bias, societal pressures, and discomfort with women’s ambition are issues that women are confronted with in any male-dominated setting, and tech is no exception. Statistically, women are a disproportionately small percentage of the technology industry. How did we get here, what is changing, and what can future generations of women in STEM expect? In Crushing the IT Gender Bias, author Kellyn Pot’Vin-Gorman applies her two decades of experience in tech to these meaningful questions, plus many more. As a mentor and sponsor of women in the database and development communities, Pot’Vin-Gorman uses experience, visualizations of hard data, and industry interviews to describe the many challenges that women face in STEM. She then shows you how to inoculate against them. Small, positive changes like these are similar to a vaccine: they build individual immunity and thus create herd immunity to protect the most vulnerable. This shift is accomplished through increased representation of—and direct exposure to—successful role models in the industry. You’ll get practical advice related to hiring practices, salary negotiations, and barriers to collaboration. After witnessing multiple female peers depart the tech world, Pot’Vin-Gorman has written Crushing the IT Gender Bias to make her voice heard and to start this necessary conversation productively so that women can thrive. Additionally, this book is for male professionals who desire to grow in their understanding and eliminate bias in their environments. Do not be content with mere survival. Read this book, practice the techniques, and, most importantly, learn how to pay it forward. By arming yourself with knowledge and facing bias head-on, you can be the meaningful change that you want to see in the tech industry. Who This Book Is For Women in any area of technology with a desire to make and lead positive change by eliminating conscious and unconscious bias along with strategically confronting the many issues facing women in a field dominated by cultural bias. The book appeals to those just starting a career through to seasoned professionals, and even to those entering the management tier. This book also welcomes men with a desire to grow in their understanding and eliminate bias in the world around them.

Book Synopsis Why Women Should Be Taken More Seriously in the Boardroom by : Barrie Gunter
Download or read book Why Women Should Be Taken More Seriously in the Boardroom written by Barrie Gunter and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2017-04-21 with total page 321 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Historically, there has been a lack of parity between women and men in senior corporate roles, particularly in major companies with the biggest market capitalisation. This can be partly explained by inequalities of career opportunity and also women’s self-perceptions. Yet there are plenty of examples in business and other worlds, notably politics, that women can perform effectively in the highest leadership roles. Some countries have actively encouraged greater female representation on the boards of major companies. This is a positive step forward. When women join the boards of top companies, the decision-making climates of these bodies can change for the better. When women are appointed as leaders of poorly performing companies they can turn them around and convert them into success stories every bit as often as male appointees. Women have been dismissed as lacking the character for business leadership. Sometimes, women are their own worst enemies and feel uncomfortable when members of their own gender act more like men. Yet, self-belief can strengthen their perceived suitability for top jobs. Women do need to act tougher to get to the top, but this does not mean abandoning their femininity or having a fulfilling life outside business. Why Women Should Be Taken More Seriously in the Boardroom is a useful tool for business students as well as those in the corporate world looking to gain a deeper understanding of gender balance within leadership roles.

Download or read book Fallen from Grace written by Larry Fung and published by Page Publishing Inc. This book was released on 2022-08-04 with total page 118 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In Fallen from Grace, Tyrone, a highly esteemed pastor and avid worker in the church, has found himself in a compromising position that has landed himself in a jail cell and his wife Shanice in hospital fighting for her life because she has endured physical and emotional pain. Tyrone was raised in church and personally learned in his younger years that we can become consumed in situations that can leave us broken and dealing with the transgressions of reaping from bad seeds that we have sowed in our earthly lives. Tyrone was into fast-street life and continuously fell short of God’s glory. Yet God continued to show him that He is faithful and a forgiving God. Jesus paid the ultimate sacrifice and died for our sins because His desire is for His people to live life more abundantly. God also wants His people to walk in obedience and trust His word because being obedient is better than sacrifice. The Bible explains in Psalms 51:5 that we are born into sin and shaped into iniquity, but we are more than conquerors, and also in Romans 3:23, that all have fallen short of the grace of God, yet the mercy and grace of God are sufficient and will provide you with a guiding light in times of darkness. God’s guidance led Tyrone to a place of refuge where he met Pastor Tony, with whom he collectively shared an interest in seeking wise counsel and leading the people of God under the leadership of Bishop Jones. Deceitfulness clouded Pastor Tyrone’s mind, causing him to sin. Yet the Holy Spirit overshadowed his life and provided him with the privilege of repentance and the ability to receive God’s mercy and be saved by grace.

Book Synopsis Sperm, Wonderful Sperm! by : Alan Smithie
Download or read book Sperm, Wonderful Sperm! written by Alan Smithie and published by AuthorHouse. This book was released on 2009-07-01 with total page 618 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: I remember a report some time ago extolling the health benefits of the vitamins found in sperm, with the advice that in preparation for having a healthy and intelligent baby, for some months before becoming pregnant a woman should swallow her partner's sperm. You can rest assured this report was compiled by a team of men. This has nothing whatsoever to do with the fact I set out to write a book entitled "49," a humorously light-hearted fly-on-the-wall look at my life from the day before my forty-ninth birthday to the day I hit fifty. A story of how I was coping with being too old for a mid-life crisis, counting the days tick down until the inevitable half-century. Should I be wearing socks with sandals; when would I start to enjoy pastimes that involved either binoculars, a fishing rod, making boats out of used matchsticks, a tandem bicycle or Morris dancing? Was I developing man-breasts, and more importantly, would the next woman I meet have bingo-wings? What pre-fifty pastimes would I be consigning to the dusty bin of life - wearing Ramones T-shirts and ogling young girls; my T-shirt definitely had to go. Maybe I wouldn't even make it to the end of the book; instead I'd meet my end running the Snowdonia Marathon. As it was I did make it to the end. Having spent a year writing "49" and many months trying to get a publishing deal without success, I started to write a blog. I pretty soon realised the missing ingredient - sex: sex sells. Post a good title and you have a success; mention anal sex and you have a best-seller. Without a second thought I changed the book title to "Sperm, Wonderful Sperm!" and quickly contacted an online print-on-demand publisher. This is the result...
