Download or read book More or Less written by Jeff Shinabarger and published by David C Cook. This book was released on 2013-03-01 with total page 274 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In More or Less, Jeff Shinabarger calls readers to create their own social experiments to answer the question, “What is enough?” It all started with one idea: What would happen if we created a culture in which we gave away whatever was more than enough for us? How would our habits change if we shed the excess of money, clutter, and food in our lives? In More or Less, readers will learn how to draw a line of “enough” in their consumer choices, how to see generosity as a chance to experience freedom in a greedy world, and how to make small changes now that will help others forever. As Shinabarger reminds them, defining “enough” is more than a responsibility—it is an opportunity to give hope. With a foreword by Bob Goff.

Download or read book An American Sickness written by Elisabeth Rosenthal and published by Penguin. This book was released on 2017-04-11 with total page 434 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A New York Times bestseller/Washington Post Notable Book of 2017/NPR Best Books of 2017/Wall Street Journal Best Books of 2017 "This book will serve as the definitive guide to the past and future of health care in America.”—Siddhartha Mukherjee, Pulitzer Prize-winning author of The Emperor of All Maladies and The Gene At a moment of drastic political upheaval, An American Sickness is a shocking investigation into our dysfunctional healthcare system - and offers practical solutions to its myriad problems. In these troubled times, perhaps no institution has unraveled more quickly and more completely than American medicine. In only a few decades, the medical system has been overrun by organizations seeking to exploit for profit the trust that vulnerable and sick Americans place in their healthcare. Our politicians have proven themselves either unwilling or incapable of reining in the increasingly outrageous costs faced by patients, and market-based solutions only seem to funnel larger and larger sums of our money into the hands of corporations. Impossibly high insurance premiums and inexplicably large bills have become facts of life; fatalism has set in. Very quickly Americans have been made to accept paying more for less. How did things get so bad so fast? Breaking down this monolithic business into the individual industries—the hospitals, doctors, insurance companies, and drug manufacturers—that together constitute our healthcare system, Rosenthal exposes the recent evolution of American medicine as never before. How did healthcare, the caring endeavor, become healthcare, the highly profitable industry? Hospital systems, which are managed by business executives, behave like predatory lenders, hounding patients and seizing their homes. Research charities are in bed with big pharmaceutical companies, which surreptitiously profit from the donations made by working people. Patients receive bills in code, from entrepreneurial doctors they never even saw. The system is in tatters, but we can fight back. Dr. Elisabeth Rosenthal doesn't just explain the symptoms, she diagnoses and treats the disease itself. In clear and practical terms, she spells out exactly how to decode medical doublespeak, avoid the pitfalls of the pharmaceuticals racket, and get the care you and your family deserve. She takes you inside the doctor-patient relationship and to hospital C-suites, explaining step-by-step the workings of a system badly lacking transparency. This is about what we can do, as individual patients, both to navigate the maze that is American healthcare and also to demand far-reaching reform. An American Sickness is the frontline defense against a healthcare system that no longer has our well-being at heart.

Download or read book How to not only COMBAT and WIN AGAINST but PROFIT big time from the Nazi Feminist DISEASE plaguing modern day society written by Rahul Mookerjee and published by 0 Excuses Fitness. This book was released on 2021-07-18 with total page 147 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Here is what you will learn in this course (the ACTIONABLE TIPS, each one worth what I’m charging for the course, and THEN SOME!) – Always remember the difference between REAL feminism and Nazi feminism – and REPEAT it until the cows come home. Never give up your financial freedom, or tell them “how you make your money” or “how much you have in the bank” Why ignoring her is the GOLDEN GOOSE – quite literally! Why you should remember that with Nazi feminists, and women in general, it’s all TAKE and very little GIVE. There’s no “past credit” with Nazi feminists. Use that AGAINST them. Understand that a Nazi feminist always makes sure SHE has money, while ridding you, the man of YOURS. Understand that you’ll always “be a failure” with Nazi feminists and use that thinking AGAINST THEM. Understand that they will never change. Understand that, NO, yours “aint necessarily different”. Never work jobs that are not of your choosing, no matter what the guilt trip is. Why engaging directly with Nazi feminists is a losing battle, and how to profit from just that. Why you SHOULD engage directly with the cucked men that enable all this. THE SIX TENETS OF NAZI FEMINISM! – Tenet #1 : Recognize the the overriding tenet of Nazi feminism for what it is “my way or the highway”, and USE it against them. Tenet #2 – Blame and Shame Tenet #3 – Guilt Trips Tenet #4 – Conveniently forgetting “facts” when the time is right for THEM. Tenet # 5 – Hating each other, even “sisters in Nazi Feminism” and women in general. Tenet #6 – CONTROL!!! (and how to use it against them) The “natural laws of Nature” don’t change no matter what. Why you should never tire of telling cucked men that enable this disease for what it is – like it IS. Why you should RECOGNIZE the fact that anything women can do – men can do better, and HAVE – but the reverse is NOT necessarily true. Why you should NOT have a child unless YOU absolutely want to (despite all the guilt trips and shennanigans to the contrary). What you should tell Nazi feminist mothers that claim their sons aren’t good enough to be parents when they themselves fit that particular bill. What you should tell Bozos that tell you to go to counseling for “not pandering to Nazi feminist views”. What Bozo Schofield can teach YOU about dealing with cucked males with fantasies they’re too scared to admit. PROFIT DIRECTLY from Nazi Feminism! Lose the battle, but ALWAYS win the war Why shortsightedness is ultimately the bane of Nazi feminism and how to use this to YOUR advantage as a MAN. Why the truism of “give an inch, and they’ll take a mile” is true x1000 for Nazi feminists. Why all real men SHOULD Train (physically) regularly Why all real men should train their MINDS as hard as their bodies, if not harder! Subconsciously influence Nazi feminists in ways they would NEVER IMAGINE – for your OWN benefit. Why Chinese women from the mainland are to be absolutely avoided if you’re NOT into Nazi feminism. Why you should never do the right thing for Nazi feminists Why you should NEVER worry about “tags” that Nazi feminists (and people in general) give you – and PROFIT from it. In fact you should “embrace and welcome said tags!” Why you should always “hold money over a Nazi feminist’s head” Remember the “monkey branching” tenet of Nazi feminists and why it’s such a POWERFUL tool to use as a MAN for your OWN benefit. Why you SHOULD defend yourself against a Nazi feminist using her gender as an excuse to physically or otherwise attack you. Why Donald Trump is a REAL MAN, and what the cucked male can learn (for free) from Donald Trump in that regard. “Tell the world what you’re going to do, but SHOW it first” Why “cheating” isn’t the holy grail of “assholeism” it’s made out to be, and why you should consider the “if the shoe was on the other foot question” (and more). Why she will ALWAYS make sure you, the MAN, is a cucked version of your real self (hint – so other women don’t find you attractive!) More on why men “cheat” And if you thought women didn’t cheat? Think – again. Think very carefully and several times, my friend … Using the power of SEXUAL transmutation to counter and DEFEAT (with a single unthrown BLOW) Nazi feminists. Witholding sex from Nazi feminist women until they go blue in the face. Getting Nazi feminists to break their OWN rules – oddly enough, by pestering them to follow – none other than – THEIR OWN RULES. If there ever was an example of how STUPID! these people are – this is it! All of this YOURS, my friend, for the piddly little price of $149.99. Think it’s too much? I dont know about you, but I would gladly pay $1499 or more to learn how to reclaim my manhood, my friend. Cucks and pussies out there – they’ll probably whine about the price. But if you want to be a real man, you and I both know this book is SPECIAL – and this book will tell you what NO-ONE has told you before – and this book is from one that has LIVED IT and DONE THE THING – and that THIS is the ONLY BOOK of it’s kind out there – and that THIS book, my friend, will turn YOU into the real man you CRAVE to be internally. Most men live lives of quiet desperation. So said the great Thoreau. Most men lead lives of quiet desperation. Thing is , Bro. YOU DONT HAVE TO! So said the great Rahul Mookerjee, and indeed the PIONEER in many regards. From being touted as someone that could achieve independence for a certain region of a country where no-one else could, to the bodyweight exercise guru bar none, to the Stella Artois of Fitness, to being roundly trolled and beating the trolls at their own game and minting $$$$$ From it (though not as much as I’ve minted from the Nazi feminists) … … Your truly, my friend, brings you a once in a lifetime opportunity, at the price it’s at now. It’s going to go UP shortly. Take it or not – the choice is YOURS. Either take it, or be a cuck for the rest of your life (if I were to make things simple for YOU). Well my friend, I’ve said my bit. Now, it’s up to … YOU. TAKE THE LEAP – NOW! YES, you CAN – and you SHOULD!

Download or read book Big Data Is Not a Monolith written by Cassidy R. Sugimoto and published by MIT Press. This book was released on 2016-10-21 with total page 308 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Perspectives on the varied challenges posed by big data for health, science, law, commerce, and politics. Big data is ubiquitous but heterogeneous. Big data can be used to tally clicks and traffic on web pages, find patterns in stock trades, track consumer preferences, identify linguistic correlations in large corpuses of texts. This book examines big data not as an undifferentiated whole but contextually, investigating the varied challenges posed by big data for health, science, law, commerce, and politics. Taken together, the chapters reveal a complex set of problems, practices, and policies. The advent of big data methodologies has challenged the theory-driven approach to scientific knowledge in favor of a data-driven one. Social media platforms and self-tracking tools change the way we see ourselves and others. The collection of data by corporations and government threatens privacy while promoting transparency. Meanwhile, politicians, policy makers, and ethicists are ill-prepared to deal with big data's ramifications. The contributors look at big data's effect on individuals as it exerts social control through monitoring, mining, and manipulation; big data and society, examining both its empowering and its constraining effects; big data and science, considering issues of data governance, provenance, reuse, and trust; and big data and organizations, discussing data responsibility, “data harm,” and decision making.

Download or read book Not a Big Deal written by Paul Ardoin and published by U of Nebraska Press. This book was released on 2021-08 with total page 342 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Not a Big Deal asks how texts might work to unsettle readers at a moment when unwelcome information is rejected as fake news or rebutted with alternative facts. When readers already recognize “defamiliarizing texts” as a category, how might texts still work toward the goals of defamiliarization? When readers refuse to grapple with texts that might shock them or disrupt their extant views about politics, race, or even narrative itself, how can texts elicit real engagement? This study draws from philosophy, narratology, social neuroscience, critical theory, and numerous other disciplines to read texts ranging from novels and short stories to graphic novels, films, and fiction broadcasted and podcasted—all of which enact curious strategies of disruption while insisting that they do no such thing. Following a model traceable to Toni Morrison’s criticism and short fiction, texts by Kyle Baker, Scott Brown, Percival Everett, Daniel Handler, David Robert Mitchell, Jordan Peele, and Colson Whitehead suggest new strategies for unsettling the category-based perceptions behind what Everett calls “the insidious colonialist reader’s eye which infects America.” Not a Big Deal examines problems in our perception of the world and of texts and insists we do the same.
