Sinossi

ARE YOU A NERD WHO SOUNDS LIKE A BROKEN ROBOT WHEN YOU OPEN YOUR MOUTH?

Let's face it. You can code circles around most people. You can build a supercomputer out of spare parts. You can probably explain quantum physics in your sleep. But when it comes to stringing together a coherent sentence? You sound like a malfunctioning toaster.

Your emails are embarrassing. Your presentations are painful. And your attempts at casual conversation? Let's just say they're not exactly winning you any popularity contests.

You know you're smart. But your atrocious grammar is holding you back. It's making you look unprofessional, undermining your credibility, and generally making you sound like a blithering idiot.

Capitalization: It's Not Just for Shouting, You Know: When to go big, when to stay small.

Vocabulary Building: From "Abacus" to "Zygote": Expand your mind (and your lexicon).

Idioms and Expressions: Don't Be a Fish Out of Water: Speak like a native (without sounding like an idiot).

Slang: When to Loosen Up (and When to Shut Up): Knowing the difference between "cool" and "cringeworthy."

Speaking with Confidence: Project Your Voice, You Weakling!: Even if you're wrong, sound like you're right.

The Subjunctive Mood: If I Were You, I'd Learn This: For expressing wishes, doubts, and hypothetical situations (yes, even you can master this).

STOP SOUNDING LIKE AN IDIOT. START COMMUNICATING LIKE A GENIUS (ALMOST).

Loosen The Grip - Strategies for...

Lisa K. Anderson

How can parents take back their power to discover and develop the best way to parent for their child?By hitting the pause button, shutting out all the noise that tells them how they should parent, and building the confidence to create the relationship that best nurtures and supports their children’s well-being and independence.Three years into parenting, Lisa Anderson realized that the way she was parenting wasn’t healthy for her or her daughter. She sought counseling to help her figure it out, and so began her journey of discovering the best parenting approach for her child.Lisa had her work cut out for her. When her daughter was six, the advisors at her school expressed concern that she had ADHD. Lisa took her to a psychologist who, after months of testing, diagnosed her with BRAT syndrome. “It took me a minute to realize what he meant—she was a brat.”It was at this point that Lisa realized she had never said “no” to her daughter, not because she thought it was best for her daughter, but because that’s what she knew.“I was going to create a little monster if I didn’t change my way of thinking and shift my focus from what I needed to what my daughter needed.”It was a difficult concept to understand, and an even more challenging task to achieve, but through her work on her own trauma coupled with her education and experience in social work and counseling, Lisa figured it out. Not the way to be a perfect parent, but the way to be the best parent for her child. Isn’t that what every parent really wants and what every child deserves?Fear, guilt, and social pressures are driving parents to be over-involved and their children to be overscheduled and overstressed. Children’s freedom to develop their autonomy is being restricted under the guise of keeping them safe from things we simply cannot control. Hypervigilant parenting comes at a significant cost to all of us, as is evident through the increasing number of anxious and depressed children and the emerging adults who lack the confidence and the skills to be self-sufficient. Somewhere along the way we have forgotten that our number one job as parents is to raise our children to be capable, independent adults.Something needs to change.

The Arab Spring - Uprising and...

Nova Ashford

The Arab Spring, a series of pro-democracy uprisings, protests, and revolutions that swept across the Arab world beginning in late 2010, marked a significant turning point in the modern history of the Middle East. The movement, which began in Tunisia and quickly spread to other countries including Egypt, Libya, Yemen, Syria, and Bahrain, was driven by widespread discontent with authoritarian regimes, economic inequality, and a lack of political freedoms. The Arab Spring was not a single, unified event but rather a collection of distinct yet interconnected uprisings fueled by both longstanding grievances and immediate catalysts. It highlighted the power of ordinary citizens in challenging deeply entrenched political systems, showing the world that the will for change could be powerful even in the face of brutal government repression. 
The Arab Spring began on December 17, 2010, when Mohamed Bouazizi, a street vendor in Tunisia, set himself on fire in protest of police harassment and government corruption. His act of desperation sparked mass protests throughout Tunisia, which eventually led to the ousting of President Zine El Abidine Ben Ali in January 2011. This success encouraged similar uprisings in neighboring countries, particularly in Egypt, where mass protests in Cairo’s Tahrir Square forced President Hosni Mubarak to resign after 30 years in power. These initial successes ignited a wave of hope across the Arab world that authoritarian regimes could be overthrown and democratic reforms could be achieved.

W E B DuBois on Sociology and...

W.E.B. DuBois

Historian, journalist, educator, and civil rights advocate W. E. B. Du Bois was perhaps most accomplished as a sociologist of race relations and of the black community in the United States. This volume collects his most important sociological writings from 1898 to 1910. The eighteen selections include five on Du Bois’s conception of sociology and sociological research, especially as a tool in the struggle for racial justice; excerpts from studies of black communities in the South and the North, including The Philadelphia Negro; writings on black culture and social life, with a selection from The Negro American Family; and later works on race relations in the United States and elsewhere after World War II. This section includes a powerful fiftieth-anniversary reassessment of his classic 1901 article in the Atlantic in which he predicted that “the problem of the twentieth century is the problem of the color line.“ 
 
The editors provide an annotated bibliography, a lengthy overview of Du Bois’s life and work, and detailed introductions to the selections.

Others Like Me - The Lives of...

Nicole Louie

A deeply personal exploration of childless and childfree women in their own words. 
 
 
 
Others Like Me is the story of fourteen women around the world, from different walks of life, who don't have children. It's also the story of why Nicole Louie had to find these women and what they taught her. Part memoir, part exploration of childlessness through candid conversations, this book showcases the many ways in which people find fulfillment outside of parenthood. And because the social expectation to procreate weighs the most on women, Louie focuses solely on them, their experiences, and how they flourish outside of motherhood. In doing so, she upends the stereotypes that diminish women who are childless by choice, circumstance, or ambivalence and offers reassurance and companionship on a path less known.
