Download or read book AIMbitious written by Scott A. Annan and published by iUniverse. This book was released on 2010 with total page 275 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: It began with a letter Scott wrote to the CEO of his company. Amidst the economic turmoil brought on by the 2008 financial crisis, senior management solicited feedback from employees on ways to improve the operations of the firm going forward. The message resonated with Scott. He sensed a different way of doing things-that by examining company values and focusing on teamwork, the firm could achieve economic profit and create a workforce of engaged, fulfilled team members. Completing this exercise had profound meaning for him. Scott began to see the power of identifying core values, establishing team culture, and developing an action plan for success. The letter turned into a blueprint for creating a new career and a life of purpose. In an enlightening account of Scott's journey of introspection and inspiration, he provides a how-to guide for transforming any area of life and delivers one profound message: living a life of fulfillment is predicated on honoring your passion and purpose and contributing meaningfully to others around you. In this moment of economic rebirth and global self-examination, there has never been a better time to follow your heart and claim ownership for your true identity. We-the world and individuals-cannot afford to ignore those internal impulses that are telling each of us to believe in ourselves and honor what we are most passionate about creating and contributing in our lives. The stakes-political, economic, social, and spiritual-are just too high not to. Join Scott as he teaches you: How to find your passion and turn it into a life of meaning What the difference is between a career and a calling What your "Trajectory of Purpose" is and how defining it now will improve your life forever How to start your own company from scratch and establish values of lasting success What qualities the most successful leaders have that others don't How to create a "Mindset of Opportunity" and see the world as a team effort How to live a life of self-leadership that allows you to call the shots and be the architect of your own life The time-as always-is now!

Download or read book Having Visions written by Susan Wolverton and published by Algora Publishing. This book was released on 2004 with total page 344 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In Having Visions, the author presents an objective, respectful, and faithful translation of its content, accompanied with an historical and scientific context for understanding its insertion into the body of human affairs. In The Book of Mormon, the ancient American prophet Mormon presents the history of his people, the Nephites. The intent of the present book is to present "his story as told," and its relationship to "history as known," without altering its essence. It should be noted that exhaustive archeological, genetic, and linguistic research has been undertaken by both proponents for, and detractors of, the existence of the Nephites. So far, no evidence supporting the claim has ever been found for any place, person, or event mentioned in The Book of Mormon, while abundant contradictory evidence has been discovered and independently verified.

Download or read book Blackness in Mexico written by Anthony Russell Jerry and published by University Press of Florida. This book was released on 2023-05-16 with total page 179 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An up-close view of the movement to make “Afro-Mexican” an official cultural category Through historical and ethnographic research, Blackness in Mexico delves into the ongoing movement toward recognizing Black Mexicans as a cultural group within a nation that has long viewed the non-Black Mestizo as the archetypal citizen. Anthony Jerry focuses on this process in Mexico’s Costa Chica region in order to explore the relational aspects of citizenship and the place of Black people in how modern citizenship is imagined. Jerry’s study of the Costa Chica shows the political stakes of the national project for Black recognition; the shared but competing interests of the Mexican government, activists, and townspeople; and the ways that the state and NGOs are working to make “Afro-Mexican” an official cultural category. He argues that that the demand for recognition by Black communities calls attention to how the Mestizo has become an intuitive point of reference for identifying who qualifies as “other.” Jerry also demonstrates that while official recognition can potentially empower African descendants, it can simultaneously reproduce the same logics of difference that have brought about their social and political exclusion. One of few books to center Blackness within a discussion of Mexico or to incorporate a focus on Mexico into Black studies, this book ultimately argues that the official project for recognition is itself a methodology of mestizaje, an opportunity for the government to continue to use Blackness to define the national subject and to further the Mexican national project.

Download or read book Analysing English Arabic Machine Translation written by Zakaryia Almahasees and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2021-11-30 with total page 184 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Machine Translation (MT) has become widely used throughout the world as a medium of communication between those who live in different countries and speak different languages. However, translation between distant languages constitutes a challenge for machines. Therefore, translation evaluation is poised to play a significant role in the process of designing and developing effective MT systems. This book evaluates three prominent MT systems, including Google Translate, Microsoft Translator, and Sakhr, each of which provides translation between English and Arabic. In the book Almahasees scrutinizes the capacity of the three systems in dealing with translation between English and Arabic in a large corpus taken from various domains, including the United Nation (UN), the World Health Organization (WHO), the Arab League, Petra News Agency reports, and two literary texts: The Old Man and the Sea and The Prophet. The evaluation covers holistic analysis to assess the output of the three systems in terms of Translation Automation User Society (TAUS) adequacy and fluency scales. The text also looks at error analysis to evaluate the systems’ output in terms of orthography, lexis, grammar, and semantics at the entire-text level and in terms of lexis, grammar, and semantics at the collocation level. The research findings contained within this volume provide important feedback about the capabilities of the three MT systems with respect to EnglishArabic translation and paves the way for further research on such an important topic. This book will be of interest to scholars and students of translation studies and translation technology.

Download or read book Musings On Social Life written by Arun Sapre and published by Notion Press. This book was released on 2022-05-24 with total page 175 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Human behavior under diverse social conditions is complex and puzzling. Driven by experience, ambitions, struggles, passion, emotions, social situations, etc humans try to find ways to survive and progress. Every individual and situation is unique and shapes up differently. Yet there exists a common thread or a general pattern showing a natural trend. It is reasonably possible to understand this trend if one keeps free from biases, strategies, ideologies, or closed thinking. Positive thinking could provide a picture that would be closer to reality. Peculiar social realities could be better understood within a general pattern. Based on daily experiences, one develops some understanding of the diverse behavior of the people around. It has a strong and reasonably discernable social context. Collating and shaping these thoughts on diverse social topics needs efforts to shade out unrealistic content and take insight closer to reality. The topics covered in the book are of common interest and readers may find them closer to their daily experiences. Overall, there is a message to be positive, going closer to the natural processes and taking a balanced view even in puzzling situations. Understanding social issues is a utilitarian exercise, diverse, unending, interesting, and even relaxing. Contributing to this dispassionate exercise is always a pleasure for anyone.
