Download or read book I ve Seen You Naked written by B.S. Hayden and published by Xlibris Corporation. This book was released on 2013-03-12 with total page 64 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Chapter One In this chapter is the information needed to prepare for your journey and what to as well as what not to pack in your luggage. So let’s get right to it and make your next trip a safe and more pleasurable experience. First off let’s get you in the mindset for flying and the need for planning. When planning a trip one usually has a certain destination in mind. Whether your destination is for business or pleasure the principals are the same. There is always how long are you staying and what to bring? The how long are you planning to stay is usually already established in most cases. However, in the case of the business traveler whose schedules is determined by the office, a client, or even flight schedules may dictate ones planning. This usually means everything is up in the air and can leave a lot to be desired. With this in mind whether business or pleasure the basics still apply. So let’s look at the traveler that is planning a pleasure trip. In this case the time to think about the airport is when you start planning your trip. Since the events on September 11, 2001, the whole mind set of traveling has been put on it ear so to speak. As it is with most individuals, myself included before I became a Transportation Security Officer (TSO) with the (TSA) in 2002, the name of the game was haphazard packing as a rule of thumb. This is what I call having most of the items in your luggage placed there the night before your departure. Usually these items are things that never get used in the course of ones travels. Such items as too many shoes, clothing, unnecessary foods and some toys are among the many things that are packed in luggage across this nation that need not be included. I am sure most of you know exactly what I am talking about. A good example is when I went sailing on a 32 foot sail boat in the Caribbean for a week with my daughter and son-in-law in 2000. I had packed enough clothes for a week only to use half the items packed. In this case I really only needed a swimsuit, several shirts, two pairs of shoes and traveling clothes. What is my style? There are other types of packers that travel the skyways. One of these is the individual that packs like the ones you might see in the movies or in one of your favorite television programs or commercials. Opening the dresser drawers and just stuffing items in the luggage. These individuals, while in their own rights, see no harm in the form of packing, however, they will have some difficulties at the airport. This form of packing makes inspection of their personal items by TSA difficult at best. With all the modern x-ray equipment used in today’s airports and new technologies being developed continuously, it is still up to the TSO to determine the nature of the items within your luggage. And this form of packing has and does create problems for these passengers. Ways to avoid this will be addressed later in this chapter. Then there is the traveler at the other end of the packing spectrum that has everything folded and arranged perfectly so that everything within that piece of luggage has a rhyme and a purpose for its placement. This can be either a male or a female doing the packing. These types of pack jobs are in themselves great to look at and for the most part we as the ones screening that piece of luggage look forward to. But as in all cases even these types of luggage have their problems too. The level of inspection being performed on that piece of luggage and the individual doing the screening has a lot to do with the level of neatness your luggage is in when returned to you. Not all TSOs, to be honest with you, are interested in repacking your items as carefully as you would. Even though the TSA has spent many hours training TSOs on the proper procedures for inspecting person’s luggage and the items within that piece of luggage, the manner in which the luggage has been packed may cause difficulties in its self.

Book You Are Eating an Orange  You Are Naked

Download or read book You Are Eating an Orange You Are Naked written by Sheung-King and published by Book*hug Press. This book was released on 2020-10-27 with total page 202 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Fiction. Asian & Asian American Studies. Short Stories. A young translator living in Toronto frequently travels abroad-to Hong Kong, Macau, Prague, Tokyo-often with his unnamed lover. In restaurants and hotel rooms, the couple begin telling folk tales to each other, perhaps as a way to fill the undefined space between them. Theirs is a comic and enigmatic relationship in which emotions are often muted and sometimes masked by verbal play and philosophical questions, and further complicated by the woman's frequent unexplained disappearances. YOU ARE EATING AN ORANGE. YOU ARE NAKED. is an intimate novel of memory and longing that challenges Western tropes and Orientalism. Embracing the playful surrealism of Haruki Murakami and the atmospheric narratives of filmmaker Wong Kar-wai, Sheung-King's debut is at once lyrical and punctuated, and wholly unique, and marks the arrival of a bold new voice in Asian-Canadian literature. Sheung-King has written a wonderfully unexpected and maverick love story but also a novel of ideas that hopscotches between Toronto, Macau, Hong Kong, Tokyo, and Prague. It is enchanting, funny, and a joy to read.-Kyo Maclear

  • ISBN : 044651120X
  • Pages : 261 pages

Download or read book Seeing Me Naked written by Liza Palmer and published by 5 Spot. This book was released on 2008-01-08 with total page 261 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Elisabeth Page is the daughter of Ben Page, yes, that's right, THE world famous novelist. And yes, she's also the sister of Rascal Page, world famous novelist in his own right. So what does Elisabeth do? Much to her family's disappointment, Elisabeth is a pastry chef. And a pretty damn good one, at Beverly, the hottest restaurant in LA. The last relationship Elisabeth had was with Will, a man she grew up with and whose family ran in the same social circles as her family. But Will's constant jaunts around the world have left her lonely and brokenhearted in L.A. That is until Daniel Sullivan bids on one of Elisabeth's pastry tutorials at a charity auction. Daniel is everything her family is not: a basketball coach, a non-intellectual, his family doesn't summer on Martha's Vineyard, and the only metaphors he uses are about passing the ball and being a team player. But somehow they fit. Between her family, Will, and the new cooking show that Elisabeth is recruited to star in, Elisabeth's life is suddenly incredibly new and different--the question is, can she embrace being happy or has her family conditioned her to think she's just not good enough? Liza Palmer expertly depicts a woman trying to come to terms with professional success, personal success, and finally dealing with a family that might love her from the bottom of their heart but doesn't necessarily have her best interest always at heart.

Book Naked Statistics  Stripping the Dread from the Data

Download or read book Naked Statistics Stripping the Dread from the Data written by Charles Wheelan and published by W. W. Norton & Company. This book was released on 2013-01-07 with total page 320 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A New York Times bestseller "Brilliant, funny…the best math teacher you never had." —San Francisco Chronicle Once considered tedious, the field of statistics is rapidly evolving into a discipline Hal Varian, chief economist at Google, has actually called "sexy." From batting averages and political polls to game shows and medical research, the real-world application of statistics continues to grow by leaps and bounds. How can we catch schools that cheat on standardized tests? How does Netflix know which movies you’ll like? What is causing the rising incidence of autism? As best-selling author Charles Wheelan shows us in Naked Statistics, the right data and a few well-chosen statistical tools can help us answer these questions and more. For those who slept through Stats 101, this book is a lifesaver. Wheelan strips away the arcane and technical details and focuses on the underlying intuition that drives statistical analysis. He clarifies key concepts such as inference, correlation, and regression analysis, reveals how biased or careless parties can manipulate or misrepresent data, and shows us how brilliant and creative researchers are exploiting the valuable data from natural experiments to tackle thorny questions. And in Wheelan’s trademark style, there’s not a dull page in sight. You’ll encounter clever Schlitz Beer marketers leveraging basic probability, an International Sausage Festival illuminating the tenets of the central limit theorem, and a head-scratching choice from the famous game show Let’s Make a Deal—and you’ll come away with insights each time. With the wit, accessibility, and sheer fun that turned Naked Economics into a bestseller, Wheelan defies the odds yet again by bringing another essential, formerly unglamorous discipline to life.
