However, SBA statistics also reveal that, on average, of the small businesses starting today, 53 percent will not be in business four years from now. Of these closings, it's estimated that 15 percent will close due to business failures. Chicago businessman Jay Goltz understands what it takes for a small business to succeed. During the past twenty years he has owned and operated Artists' Frame Service in Chicago. Goltz started the business in 1978, and today it's the largest, custom retail picture framing facility in the world. Now, Goltz shares some his secrets of success.

Book Synopsis Speaking of Race by : Jennifer B. Delfino

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Speaking of Race explores the linguistic practices of African American children in an after school program in Washington, DC. Drawing on ethnographic research, Jennifer B. Delfino illustrates how students’ linguistic practices are often perceived as barriers to learning and achievement and provides an in-depth look at how students challenge this perception by using language to transform the meaning of race in relation to ideas about academic success. In providing insight into the institutionalized processes by which African American children are seen and heard as “problem students,” this book helps scholars and practitioners better support marginalized pupils in their efforts to achieve racial transformation and educational justice in schools.

Download or read book Tough Street written by James Drew and published by . This book was released on 2019-05-08 with total page 282 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Gerald Grant Leeman emerged from a life of poverty and addiction to become one of the greatest wrestlers and most beloved coaches in American history. Nicknamed "Germ" due to his small stature, Gerald and his nine siblings lived hardscrabble childhoods, but their Osage, Iowa, roots grew deep and served them well. In Germ's case, those humble beginnings taught lessons that led to three state high school wrestling titles; serving as a Naval carrier pilot; an NCAA championship during which he was named Most Outstanding Wrestler; an Olympic silver medal; and a storied coaching career at Lehigh University. The son of an alcoholic father, Gerald battled the disease later in life with grace and dignity, and became a glowing example of the power of recovery and redemption. Tough Street illuminates Germ's expansive impact on his siblings, teammates, children, and, most poignantly, his wrestlers at Lehigh, where famed Grace Hall's arena bears his name. Gerald Leeman lived the American Dream. - "God gave Gerald Leeman abilities no one else could have. Leeman was an artist in our sport. It's difficult to describe unless you saw him. He is the greatest wrestler I ever saw, and I've seen them all." - Bill Nelson, three-time NCAA champion and 1948 Olympian - "The thing about Gerry is you could surround him with chief executives of any company, politicians from all over the world, with farmers or Indian chiefs, and he would soon be ruling the room. He had that presence, that aura." - Kirk Pendleton, 1963 NCAA champion - "Gerry Leeman was a legend who absolutely loved the sport. Going into Grace Hall -- The Snake Pit -- for a dual, well, Leeman would fill the place up and those partisans would pound their feet on the metal bleachers. The noise was so intimidating." - Donald Rumsfeld, former Princeton wrestling team captain and United States Secretary of Defense - "Gerald Leeman was so much more than our coach. He was a molder of men, an educator who used the lessons of strife on the mat to form foundation in his boys, enabling them to achieve fame, fortune and esteem in their lives. This is his legacy." - Mike Caruso, three-time NCAA champion
Download or read book Seanachie written by Lawrence Kelleher and published by iUniverse. This book was released on 2001-09-17 with total page 546 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This story is as told by the patriarch of the O’Kelleher clan, John O’Kelleher, to his two great-grand-children, Sean and ‘Little Bell’. He is the Seanachie, the ‘Story Teller’. His very long life bridged a part of two centuries. He was born in Ireland in 1783, and he died in America in 1880. This is the story of an Irish family’s struggle in Ireland, to survive on a day-to-day basis, while living under the oppressive ‘boot heel’ of a tyrannical foreign government. Their struggle was very much like living with a time bomb, when you never knew just when it might explode. Finally, one day it happened, the family was torn apart by a very violent event which changed its life forever. This is a story of persecution, murder, love, revenge, retribution, sorrow and the bitterness that had developed between two loving brothers. It is an adventure story of ordinary people doing extraordinary things, during the mid-nineteenth century. It also attempts to explain my theory of how many Irish surnames were possibly changed after these illiterate immigrants arrived in America. I offer my readers two possible reasons for the changes.
Book Synopsis Bad Boys and Tough Tattoos by : Samuel M. Steward, PhD
Download or read book Bad Boys and Tough Tattoos written by Samuel M. Steward, PhD and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2013-04-15 with total page 222 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Explore the dark subculture of 1950s tattoos!In the early 1950s, when tattoos were the indelible mark of a lowlife, an erudite professor of English--a friend of Gertrude Stein, Thomas Mann, Andre Gide, and Thornton Wilder--abandoned his job to become a tattoo artist (and incidentally a researcher for Alfred Kinsey). Bad Boys and Tough Tattoos tells the story of his years working in a squalid arcade on Chicago’s tough State Street. During that time he left his mark on a hundred thousand people, from youthful sailors who flaunted their tattoos as a rite of manhood to executives who had to hide their passion for well-ornamented flesh. Bad Boys and Tough Tattoos is anything but politically correct. The gritty, film-noir details of Skid Row life are rendered with unflinching honesty and furtive tenderness. His lascivious relish for the young sailors swaggering or staggering in for a new tattoo does not blind him to the sordidness of the world they inhabited. From studly nineteen-year-olds who traded blow jobs for tattoos to hard-bitten dykes who scared the sailors out of the shop, the clientele was seedy at best: sailors, con men, drunks, hustlers, and Hells Angels. These days, when tattoo art is sported by millionaires and the middle class as well as by gang members and punk rockers, the sheer squalor of Bad Boys and Tough Tattoos is a revelation. However much tattoo culture has changed, the advice and information is still sound: how to select a good tattoo artist what to expect during a tattooing session how to ensure the artist uses sterile needles and other safety precautions how to care for a new tattoo why people get tattoos--25 sexual motivations for body artMore than a history of the art or a roster of famous--and infamous--tattoo customers and artists, Bad Boys and Tough Tattoos is a raunchy, provocative look at a forgotten subculture.
