Book excerpt: It is five o'clock in the morning just outside Toronto when nineteen-year-old Julia walks onto the backstretch at Woodbine Racetrack. Despite knowing little about horses and even less about racing, Julia is eager to start her first day at her new job. She is in a dilemma as to where her life is heading. Desperate to make enough money to enter a university and escape a suffocating relationship with her boyfriend, she throws herself headfirst into life at the racetrack. She soon discovers, however, that she is terrified of the high strung animals and even worse, that the other workers have little patience for an inexperienced woman. Even as the high stakes, male-driven world of racing threatens to destroy her and her dreams, Julia perseveres and finds solace in two new friends, who encourage her to fight back. As Julia moves up in the ranks, even her friends are unable to save her from the worst threat of all. Julia is forced by a man she trusts into a world of deceit and illegal treatment of the very animals she has grown to love, and she may have to sacrifice everything in order to free herself from his grasp before it is too late.

Download or read book The Impulse Factor written by Nick Tasler and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 2008-10-07 with total page 274 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In his work as research and development director at cutting-edge think tank TalentSmart, where he helps businesses work better and employees think smarter, Nick Tasler realized that the recent discovery by scientists of a potential-seeking gene could have a remarkable impact on how we understand decision making. Those who have this gene -- about one quarter of the population -- are endowed with impulsive tendencies that can lead to fast and decisive action or to foolish choices. The cautious majority that Tasler calls risk managers can make carefully considered decisions or become hopelessly lost in the fog of details. Now The Impulse Factor offers readers a unique online opportunity to analyze their own decision-making style and harness it to improve their everyday lives. Each book comes with access to a proprietary assessment developed specifically to evaluate impulsivity. With examples from business, psychology, and Tasler's own research at TalentSmart, the book also vividly illustrates how susceptible we are to the events around us and how our reactions often run contrary to our best interests. By combining his research with real-world examples of extreme decision making, Tasler teaches readers how to thrive when faced with difficult choices. More than just a book, The Impulse Factor provides a clear understanding of why you make the choices you do -- and the tools to make those decisions change your business and your life.

They worry that when the rains fall, they will wash the ash left by the fires into the rivers and pollute Australia’s water supply, a situation that would leave thousands of Australians without drinking water. This looming water crisis in Australia has also called attention to Taiwan’s own dangers of water shortage. Although Taiwan has an average rainfall of 2,500 millimeters per year, its lack of storage capacity means that much of that rainfall flows into the ocean. In fact, the nation’s reservoirs can only store about six weeks’ worth of water before running completely dry. As a result, Taiwan faced water shortages nine times between 2002 and 2015. An additional element that perpetuates this problem is the low cost of water in Taiwan—one of the lowest in the world. Inexpensive water bills mean people hardly think about saving water. And although a rise in water prices could reduce Taiwan’s water usage significantly, no politician is brave enough to suggest that solution. To reduce the risk of a severe water crisis in the future, it’s therefore up to us to cut back on the amount of water we use. 去年和今年在澳洲延燒的大火讓科學家憂心忡忡。他們擔心下雨時，雨水會把火災留下的灰燼沖刷到河裡、汙染澳洲的水源，此情況會讓數以萬計的澳洲人沒有飲用水喝。 澳洲迫在眉睫的水資源危機也讓人注意到台灣自身缺水的危險。雖然台灣每年有兩千五百毫米的年均降雨量，但缺乏蓄水容積就表示大多數的降雨都流入海洋。事實上，全國的水庫在完全乾涸前只夠儲存六個星期的用水。因此，台灣在二○○二年和二○一五年期間就面臨了九次缺水。 另一個使這個問題持續的要素是台灣的水費低廉——是世界上數一數二低廉的。便宜的水費意味著人們幾乎不會想到要節約用水。而且即使水費調漲可以大幅降低台灣的用水，但沒有一位政治人物敢建議這個解決方法。為了降低未來嚴峻的水資源危機的風險，因此就需要靠我們來減少我們的用水量。 6/19 To figure out what actions are needed to conserve water, it helps to know where water is being wasted. In an average household, flushing the toilet and showering account for an overwhelming percentage of all water used. It stands to reason, then, that the most significant change you can make is to your bathroom habits. Everyone loves a long hot shower, but do try to limit your shower time to around five minutes. To help you stick to this rule, find a five-minute-long song that you can play while showering, and make sure you’re finished when it ends! Limiting your shower time is pointless if you’re allowing the shower water to drain away while it warms up. To solve this, collect that initial stream of cold water in a container. You can then use that water to flush your toilet. Besides trying to minimize the number of times you flush, check your toilet for leaks. After all, leakages are the biggest waste of water. You may think these small actions won’t make much of a difference, but there are over 23 million people in Taiwan. If everyone takes steps to waste less water, the nation’s water security is all but assured. 想瞭解節約用水需要什麼樣的行動，知道水在哪裡被浪費會有幫助。在一般家庭中，沖馬桶和淋浴占所有用水中很大的百分比。那麼顯而易見地，你所能做的最大改變就是你的衛浴習慣。 每個人都喜歡好好洗個熱水澡，但試著將你的淋浴時間限制在五分鐘左右。為了幫助你遵守這項原則，找一首可以在淋浴時播放的五分鐘長的歌曲，並確保歌播完時你澡也洗好了！ 假如你讓淋浴的水在加熱時流掉，那麼限制淋浴時間就毫無意義了。為了解決這個問題，將開始的冷水收集在一個容器中。之後你可以用那些水來沖馬桶。除了試著將沖水的次數減到最少，也檢查馬桶有沒有漏水。畢竟滲漏是最浪費水的。 你或許認為這些小小的行動不會有很大的不同，但台灣有超過兩千三百萬人。如果每個人都採取行動少浪費水，國家的水資源安全就幾乎獲得保證。 News Report 看新聞學英語 Huge Locust Outbreak Hits East Africa, Heads Beyond 蝗災肆虐東非威脅南亞 People 人物側寫 Florence Pugh: Hollywood’s Confident Newcomer 佛蘿倫絲．普伊：好萊塢的耀眼新星 History 歷史探究 Denim Jeans: From Worker Safety to Fashion Staple 牛仔褲：從工作褲到時尚單品 CNN News Who Are BTS? 韓國人氣男團——BTS防彈少年團 Dialogue Focus 情境對話 Different Jobs 圖解不同職業 Becoming a Professional Gamer 成為職業玩家 Internet 網路安全 How to Protect Your Smart Home from Hackers 網路安全：如何避免駭客入侵 Travel 繞著地球玩 Camino de Santiago—The Walk of a Lifetime 西班牙朝聖之路——千載難逢的健行體驗 Writing 寫作練習 Translation Practice 翻譯寫作 Reading Skill 閱讀策略 The Black Poodle 〈黑色貴賓犬〉 Environment 環境保育 Waste Not, Want Not 節約用水從自己做起 Plus Talk 會話百分百 Expressing Opinions 表達意見 1.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A story of the famed Thomas Jefferson Beale ciphers that has been aired on national TV by the news media, various programs, and can be reviewed on the Internet is given renewed attention. Three sets of numbers are in the code, and until recent years, only paper number 2 had been deciphered. However, a new story emerges in the deciphered papers 1 and 3. It is the journal of Gilbert Bean, a young Scottish minister living in Bedford County, Pennsylvania. Mystery Beneath the Baneberry Bush is the story of this frontier and enterprising Bean family based on the journal. During the American Revolution, Gilbert Bean served in the Rawlings Regiment under Capt. Thomas Beal, founder of Cumberland, Maryland. Gilbert, Beau he was often called, made an effort to destroy all his personal public records, but his records from the National Archives state that he deserted. Did he desert the very cause that he was fighting for? Why was it necessary to code his journal? What is the strange “ark” Bet Bean stole from a British boat? Is there a treasure trove in Bedford County, Pennsylvania, more precious than silver and gold that will shock America?

Download or read book Losing Streak written by James Boyce and published by Black Inc.. This book was released on 2017-03-14 with total page 176 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A jaw-dropping account of how one company came to own every poker machine in the state of Tasmania – and the cost to democracy, the public purse and problem gamblers and their families. The story begins with the toppling of a premier, and ends with David Walsh, the man behind MONA, taking an eccentric stand against pokie machines and the political status quo. It is a story of broken politics and back-room deals. It shows how giving one company the licence to all the poker machines in Tasmania has led to several hundred million dollars of profits (mainly from problem gamblers) being diverted from public use, through a series of questionable and poorly understood deals. Losing Streak is a meticulous, compelling case study in governance failure, which has implications for pokies reform throughout Australia.
