It all began on a whim at 18, after she rang the number on a sign looking for nude models. Always the outsider, she quickly learns the sex industry is comprised of many other people just like her and she becomes immersed in this world: the drugs, the late nights, the glamour, being an outcast, the attention and validation from men. Mostly she thrives on how taboo her life has become. Following significant personal tragedy and trauma, the line between Rita's sex worker persona Gia and her real self begins to blur in a seemingly endless loop of grief, work, sex, love and heartbreak. In this achingly honest memoir, Rita learns that death and trauma do not always bring grand transformative experiences.

Download or read book The Garden of Eloquence written by Willard R. Espy and published by HarperCollins Publishers. This book was released on 1983 with total page 282 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: M. Jourdain, a character in a Moliere play, was amazed when told he had been speaking prose all his life. Willard Espy, who has been compared to Lewis Carroll for his light-hearted and fanciful treatment of words, points out that every day we use rhetoric just as unknowingly. In this latest book, Mr. Espy has created a preposterous wonderland, a garden such as never was; and in the words of Henry Peacham (who published the first Garden of Eloquence in 1577), he has "set therein such figurative Flowers, both of Grammar and Rhetoric, as do yield the sweet savor of Eloquence." Besides its flowers, Espy's Garden is inhabited by creatures large and small, lovable and quarrelsome, beautiful and ugly, each incarnating some figure of speech (or trope)-that magical device that extends the range of language to infinity. We are all familiar with such common tropes as metaphor, hyperbole, and alliteration, but did you know that when the minister says "let us gather together" he is employing pleonasmus? Or that "it was no small task" is an example of litotes? Was Eliza Doolittle aware, when she said she wanted to sit "absobloominlutely still," that she was teaching Henry Higgins about tmesis? Metaphor, hyperbole, alliteration, pleonasmus, litotes, tmesis-these are but a sprinkling of the unforgettable Garden folk. Espy explains more than 200 rhetorical devices, dozens of them in verses sung by the tropes themselves. Each verse is followed by a definition, a comment, and examples of the usage in history, literature, and everyday speech. Thirty of the figures come visually alive in Teresa Allen's charming and witty illustrations, and word games abound throughout the book.
Download or read book Australia s Most Murderous Prison written by James Phelps and published by Random House Australia. This book was released on 2016-08 with total page 290 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An unprecedented spate of murders in the 1990's - seven in just three years - made Goulburn jail the most feared prison in Australia. Inmates who were sent to the towering sandstone menace, located an hour and half south west of Sydney, declared they had been given the death sentence. Every man who entered the prison was marked for death, and not because of his crime. In the Killing Fields you were murdered because of the colour of your skin. The worst race war in the history of Australian prisons saw four groups; the Aboriginals, the Lebanese, the Asians, and rest, wage a vicious and uncontrollable war as they battled for control of the prison drug trade. Every day there were stabbings. Every day there were bashings. And when they weren't being bashed or stabbed, they were being murdered... The vicious riot, the one that saw guards belted with didgeridoos and stabbed with broken broomsticks, put an end to the segregation that saw Goulburn jail the only prison in the world to separate men by race. It also ended the Killing Field. But soon something far scarier would rise, something called SuperMax... Called a variety of things from "Australia's most secure prison'' to a "hell hole'', SuperMax is the only prison has seen complaints referred to the United Nations. All white walls and solitary confinement, it is where Australia's most evil men are locked away. It is home to Ivan Milat, to the Cobby Killers, to Bilal Skaf, and to Bassam Hamzy to name a few. And soon you will meet them all; murderers, rapists, terrorists. This is Australia's Most Murderous Prison, the Killing Fields, Inside the Walls of Goulburn Jail.

The fledgling Australian Navy had an opportunity to immediately change the course of the war. But what exactly had they found? Enter the Australian code breakers ...
