  Risque Business - Breastaurants...

  Risqué Business serves up the breastaurant industry, where food service, sex appeal, identity, and gender politics mix. 
  Risqué Business explores the rise and ongoing cultural reckoning of "breastaurants": sports bar–style restaurants like Hooters and Twin Peaks, which have long relied on the sexualized presentation of female servers to attract a mostly straight, male clientele. Ty Matejowsky, professor of anthropology at the University of Central Florida, is uniquely positioned in America's foundational, breastaurant-saturated landscape. From this vantage, he offers a well-balanced account that draws on pop culture, media analysis, and contemporary gender politics. He delivers a smart, layered analysis of how breastaurants commodify youth and femininity, uphold retrograde masculinity, and serve as symbolic battlegrounds in today's highly charged political environments, including America's deeply polarized Red State/Blue State divide. 
  With case studies, cultural critique, and a critical lens on labor and sexuality, Matejowsky reveals how these restaurants are more than just risqué marketing gimmicks. They reflect deeper anxieties about gender, identity, and the uneasy fusion of sex and service in American consumer culture. Risqué Business is a high-spirited study of an industry that thrives at the intersection of appetite and identity.

  What if you have been lied to about money and investing? How soon would you want to find out? 
  What if you could become far wealthier, much sooner, by doing the opposite of what you have been taught by financial pundits and mainstream media? You can when you conquer the financial myths exposed in this book. 
  Listen to Killing Sacred Cows to discover these revolutionary principles and more: 
  Net worth is a poor indicator of wealth and your ability to retire well. What matters is cash flow, and this book will teach you how to develop it. 
  Wealth is a byproduct of a life well lived. Budgeting and sacrifice are at odds with building wealth and enjoying life along the way. 
  Debt may not be what you think it is. Learn the proper definition of debt to increase your prosperity. 
  Become a better investor by discovering and developing your Investor DNA. Learn how to reduce risk, stop wasting money and time, and get better returns with less risk. 
  Escape the trap of scarcity and the dogmatic accumulation model. It doesn’t take money to make money, or require risk to get returns. You especially don’t have to wait thirty years for compound interest to kick in to be financially independent. 
  Money mindsets can be shaped in a moment, but have lifelong, tragic effects. Hard work with the wrong philosophy (myths) can lead to limitation, frustration—even bankruptcy. 
  Of course, Killing Sacred Cows isn’t for everyone—just those who want to make more money, keep more money, and make fewer mistakes with their money. 
  If you’re tired of following the herd and getting slaughtered by inflation, taxes, and the market, this book is for you.

  Messy code is a nuisance. "Tidying" code, to make it more readable, requires breaking it up into manageable sections. In this practical guide, author Kent Beck, creator of Extreme Programming and pioneer of software patterns, suggests when and where you might apply tidyings to improve your code while keeping the overall structure of the system in mind. 
   
   
   
  Instead of trying to master tidying all at once, this book lets you try out a few examples that make sense for your problem. If you have a big function containing many lines of code, you'll learn how to logically divide it into smaller chunks. Along the way, you'll learn the theory behind software design: coupling, cohesion, discounted cash flows, and optionality. This book helps you: 
   
   
   
  ● Understand the basic theory of how software design works and the forces that act on it 
   
   
   
  ● Explore the difference between changes to a system's behavior and changes to its structure 
   
   
   
  ● Improve your programming experience by sometimes tidying first and sometimes tidying after 
   
   
   
  ● Learn how to make large changes in small, safe steps 
   
   
   
  ● Approach software design as an exercise in human relationships
