Download or read book My Mistaken Identity Enhanced and Revised written by LL Eadie and published by Dolly Dimple Ink. This book was released on 2021-09-30 with total page 323 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Tuesday is a beautiful, talented and obedient child star, ordered around by her bipolar stage mother, Constance, and her agent, Uncle Monty. The two adults are Tuesday’s entire, lonely, rule-filled world until the singer meets Zelda—the daughter of Tuesday’s housekeeper and a fellow teenager—who plots to show Tuesday a good time. Horrified by Tuesday’s sheltered and puritanical life, Zelda compels her to re-examine the way her mother pushes her around, spending her daughter’s money and not allowing her any freedom. The two grow close as Tuesday recognizes how isolated she has become, having only her song lyrics for solace. Under Zelda’s influence, Tuesday begins to fight back, demanding to change her image from a clean-cut role model for tweens to an edgy rocker who sings about harsh, personal conflicts. As Constance plans for Tuesday to sing a new, wholesome song at a prom, Zelda becomes even more important as a supportive friend who encourages the young star to think for herself. The singer then meets Brady Paul, a good-looking boy at the high school where she will be performing, and she realizes that, with Zelda by her side, she can discover all kinds of new ways to get what she wants. Written in a light, easy style, Tuesday’s story of emotional emancipation is one that any teenager can appreciate. Eadie’s work stands out from the usual teen novel: It doesn’t glamorize Tuesday’s celebrity life but highlights the loneliness it brings. The protagonist is a well-drawn, likable heroine whose impossible home life makes her sympathetic.
Download or read book Life of Rileigh written by LL Eadie and published by Dolly Dimple Ink. This book was released on 2022-01-06 with total page 129 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: I was born a bastard at a county hospital. When most girls of sixteen were getting their driver licenses my mother was getting herself a baby. As a child I spent a lot of time in an orphanage called the Margaret Lloyd Stansel’s Children’s Asylum. My mother preferred to call it a boarding school or summer camp depending upon the time of year I was visiting. Most every child who lived there had a parent, a grandparent, an aunt, uncle, or some other family member – somewhere or other. Including me. I don’t blame my mother though – she had herself a hard-knock life, too. Let me explain, when I was born in 1954, things were different. Unwed mothers were treated in a spiteful manner – including being excluded from social settings, and even family circles. I guess I should count my blessings that my mother tried her best to raise me. I’m sure my life is different from yours. There are not many orphanages operating today. Well, the long and the short of it is – that this is my story – about when things were a wee bit different. My name is Rileigh Ophelia Horton, I think. This was my life – The Life of Rileigh
Download or read book Mistaken Identity written by Asad Haider and published by Verso Books. This book was released on 2018-05-15 with total page 141 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A powerful challenge to the way we understand the politics of race and the history of anti-racist struggle Whether class or race is the more important factor in modern politics is a question right at the heart of recent history’s most contentious debates. Among groups who should readily find common ground, there is little agreement. To escape this deadlock, Asad Haider turns to the rich legacies of the black freedom struggle. Drawing on the words and deeds of black revolutionary theorists, he argues that identity politics is not synonymous with anti-racism, but instead amounts to the neutralization of its movements. It marks a retreat from the crucial passage of identity to solidarity, and from individual recognition to the collective struggle against an oppressive social structure. Weaving together autobiographical reflection, historical analysis, theoretical exegesis, and protest reportage, Mistaken Identity is a passionate call for a new practice of politics beyond colorblind chauvinism and “the ideology of race.”

Download or read book Seraphin s Spirituality School written by Rosie Jackson and published by BoD – Books on Demand. This book was released on 2019-09-23 with total page 294 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An angel speaks SERAPHIN'S SPIRITUALITY SCHOOL Your divine role: creating an era of peace By Rosie Jackson When faced with a world characterised by corruption, conflict and discord, many people feel distressed and helpless. How can we create an era of peace? The answers can be found in the remarkable telepathic messages of the angel named Seraphin. Seraphin is an angel, who identifies himself as being a member of the Legion of Light for the manifestation of spiritual truth, through the arts. Rosie Jackson has been receiving telepathic messages from Seraphin since 2010. The material in this book, a selection of 111 Seraphin Messages, has five distinct purposes. Firstly, the chapter "Messages from the other side", intends to encourage readers to start a writing journey which is similar to that of Rosie Jackson. You too can contact your guides and talk to your Father fragment. In this way, you can "download" information and guidance relevant to your particular task on earth. As your spiritual abilities progress, you will gain ever increasing confidence, and you will become a source of inspiration for others. Secondly, the chapters entitled Your Divine Purpose, Transcending Your Past, Creating Your Future, and Your Relationships, intend to further the reader`s own spiritual path, assisting him or her to develop potential fully, achieve excellency, and to use these skills and knowledge for the benefit of all. Thirdly, the chapter Preparing for Transition aims to provide advice on how to deal with the intense times of transformation ahead. Due to our present position in the photon belt (as well as other situations which require closure), our planet is showered with highly powered cosmic energies. These create enormous change, supporting everything of divine nature. They simultaneously expose and destroy everything which is not aligned with divine intention. Fourthly, the chapters on rebuilding our world offer instructions on how to address practical problems. They also highlight which qualities we should manifest in order to maintain peace, beauty and abundance on our world. Fifthly, the goal of the last chapter, entitled Reconnecting to the Universe, aims to increase our awareness of our galactic neighbours who continually and lovingly observe us. After thousands of years of disconnection, we will finally resume our membership of the cosmic family.
Download or read book Personal Identity and Buddhist Philosophy written by Mark Siderits and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2016-05-13 with total page 243 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What does it mean to be a person? The philosophical problem of personal identity has been the subject of much debate in both Western philosophy and Buddhist philosophy. This book initiates a conversation between the two traditions showing how concepts and tools drawn from one philosophical tradition can help solve problems arising in another, particularly as regards the philosophical investigation of persons. The recent controversy over personal identity has concerned reductionism, the view that persons are mere useful fictions. Mark Siderits explores the most important objections that have been raised to reductionism, and shows how some key arguments and semantic tools from early Buddhism can be used to answer those objections. Buddhist resources are used to examine the important ethical consequences of this view of persons. The second half of the book explores a new objection to reductionism about persons that originates in Mahayana Buddhist philosophy.
Download or read book Personal Identity and Buddhist Philosophy written by Professor Mark Siderits and published by Ashgate Publishing, Ltd.. This book was released on 2015-11-28 with total page 249 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Fully revised and updated, and drawing on developments in the author's own thinking, Siderits's second edition explores the conversation between Buddhist and Western Philosophy showing how concepts and tools drawn from one philosophical tradition can help solve problems arising in another. Siderits discusses afresh areas involved in the philosophical investigation of persons, including recent attempts by scholars of Buddhist philosophy to defend the attribution of an emergentist account of personhood to at least some Buddhists, and whether a distinctively Buddhist antirealism can avoid problems that beset other forms of ontological anti-foundationalism.

Download or read book Working Identity Updated Edition With a New Preface written by Herminia Ibarra and published by Harvard Business Press. This book was released on 2023-10-17 with total page 125 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Strategies that successful career changers use—and how to make them work for you. Nearly all of us have entertained the notion of changing careers. Feeling burned out at work, unfulfilled, or just plain unhappy with whatever we're doing, we long to reinvent ourselves on a new and different career path. But how do we make this transition successfully? In this update of the much-loved classic, bestselling author Herminia Ibarra presents a model for career reinvention that flies in the face of everything we've learned from "career experts"—and is tailor-made for changing careers in today's uncertain world. Career transition is not a linear path toward some predetermined identity, according to Ibarra, but a crooked journey along which we try on a host of "possible selves" we might become. Successful reinvention comes not from deciphering and analyzing our past, but from inventing and testing our possible futures. Using new examples of people in different stages of a career transition, Ibarra identifies the three critical strategies—experiment with new professional activities and identities, interact in new networks of people, and make sense of what is happening to us in light of emerging possibilities—that all successful career changers use. She shows how you can use these strategies to: Explore your possible selves Craft and execute "identity experiments" Create "small wins" that keep momentum going Connect with role models and mentors who can ease the transition Arrange new learnings into a coherent story Now with action-oriented exercises to help you work successfully through your own career transition, this updated edition gives you the tools to discover a new path and find success in your new career.

Download or read book Doing Real World Research in Sports Studies written by Andy Smith and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2013-10-23 with total page 252 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Traditional research methods textbooks tend to present an idealized and simplistic picture of the research process. This ground-breaking text however, features leading international sport researchers explaining how they actually carried out their real life research projects, highlighting the practical day-to-day problems, false starts and setbacks that are a normal part of the research process. This book focuses on ten pieces of research that have made a distinctive and valuable contribution to the study of sport. For each one the author of that research explains how the project was conducted and the issues that they faced. In addition, each piece of research has a commentary from a leading sport scholar outlining why it is regarded as being an important contribution to the discipline of sport studies and how that research can inform studies being carried out today. Contributors to the book describe how in their own real life research projects, they initially conceptualized and defined their research projects secured funding and/or sponsorship from relevant bodies handled enforced changes to the research plans confronted/overcame obstacles presented by outside bodies managed inter-personal/emotional relationships in the research encounter managed possible threats to their personal safety or physical integrity managed good luck, bad luck and serendipitous findings dealt with favourable and hostile media reaction to research findings. Doing Real World Research in Sport Studies enables students and researchers to develop a more realistic understanding of what the research process actually involves. It charts the development of key research projects in sport and should be essential reading for any sport research methods course.
