Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From the whistle-blowing teacher behind the headlines: one inspirational teacher, one extraordinary year, hope and heartbreak on the front lines of an inner-city school, To Miss With Love by Katharine Birbalsingh is the remarkable and eye opening exposé of our education system. A third of teachers leave within their first term on the job. This one wouldn't quit for all the world. Meet Furious - sixteen, handsome and completely out of control. Nothing frightens him and no one can get through to him. Now meet Munchkin - a sweet kid with glasses who's an easy target and needs protecting. Then there's Seething and Deranged, two girls who are brimming with bad attitude; Fifty and Cent, who act like gangsters but are afraid of getting beaten up; and Stoic, a brilliant young mind struggling to survive. In the midst of them all, there is a bodyguard and bouncer, a counsellor and confidante, a young woman whose job it is to motivate and inspire them and somehow keep them out of trouble: their teacher. None will make it through the year unscathed. Some may not even make it at all... Spanning a year of shocking truths and hard-won victories, of fights and phone-thefts, teenage pregnancies and the dreaded OFSTED report, this is the remarkable diary of an inner-city school teacher. Revealing the extraordinary chaos, mismanagement and wrong-thinking that plague our education system, it is a funny, surprising and sometimes heartbreaking journey from the frontlines of the classroom to the heart of modern Britain. 'The constant frustration, the struggle to hold on to your ideals in the face of a broken system - this book is the story of contemporary state education. It's both heart-breaking and inspiring' Toby Young 'Everyone should read this book and do a bit of re-thinking. Straight from the chalk-face - a book which explains why our kids have been failed by State Education' Rod Liddle 'The teacher who laid bare the chaos in the education systems. . . by delivering some brutal home truths. . . articulate and inspirational' Daily Mail 'Charismatic. . . .electrifying. . . This remarkable woman has neatly identified the problem with education' The Times Katharine Birbalsingh is Britain's most outspoken and controversial teacher. Educated at a comprehensive school, she earned a degree in philosophy and modern languages at Oxford university and has taught for over a decade in inner-city schools. To Miss with Love was for several years an anonymous blog that exposed the reality of inner-city schools and the problems with the education system. She now writes regularly for the Telegraph and has given evidence at the Commons select committee for education. Her views have sparked a national debate. www.katharinebirbalsingh.com

Book excerpt: A Perfect Moment is indeed an interesting and adventurous journey through the sometimes sordid, and often awesome moments of its protagonists. From the charming fantasies of an elusive dream world to the gruesome and often nightmarish experiences of those not so enchanting moments where we come to understand that, "Good comes from the bad. It always does. You just need the patience to wait and ride it out." Without a doubt, A Perfect Moment is insightful and imaginative in the way it develops a divergent and non-linear path through time, while deflecting conscious memory in its very moments of becoming.BOOKS IN REVIEW by Janet KochCopyright © Arena Magazine

Download or read book Embrace the Infinite written by Anthony Mannucci and published by John Hunt Publishing. This book was released on 2012-03-16 with total page 122 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Has the modern scientific world robbed our lives of a deeper sense of meaning and purpose? Has science rendered God irrelevant? Or can science actually bring us towards a deeper spiritual understanding and a greater sense of joy in our daily lives? Space scientist and physicist Anthony Mannucci explores these questions from a unique point of view. He begins by stating the obvious: everyone wants a sense of purpose and meaning to their lives. How to achieve it? Dr. Mannucci’s narrative takes us down a path where science is a starting point for something deeper. He reveals an Absolute Truth that is central to science and to our nature as spiritual beings. Dr. Mannucci expertly explains the power and the limitations of science. He reveals that science and spirituality are not distant cousins but in fact share a bond. What follows is an exploration of mind, and how exploring the nature of mind leads us to a deeper appreciation of our spiritual nature. Dr. Mannucci shows how the right words and ideas can change your life. In concluding the book, Dr. Mannucci discusses the importance of mystery and awe, two emotions familiar to every scientist. You will find the ideas in this book original and refreshing, conveying a message of hope and joy. Those who embrace these words will not regret their decision. ,

Download or read book Envisioning PMO Project Management Through A Juggler s Eye Part 1 written by Abhishek Mishra and published by Amazon. This book was released on 2020-12-27 with total page 228 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Nonpareil of the Project Managers is in the way they express through their communication, planning, coordination, persuasiveness, and attitude. The Project managers are the "Jugglers" because "Jugglers" can adroitly manage multiple activities simultaneously. So, as the Project Managers are, they are the best strategist in this entire universe; apart from this, the planning and coordination of a Project Manager is always class apart. The problem with Project Managers and the Project Management Office role is that they are always treated as overhead and always underrated. To summarize, they are the underdog, who can hold the flag until the fort's last brick, but they have never been treated similarly. I have always been trying to change the leaders' mindset and thoughts through my articles so far. This book will run through all those articles and help you feel my thoughts, experience, knowledge, and perspective on Project Management and PMO. If thoughts are nurtured with the right attitude and expressed concisely, it will have immense power to change the process and the entire world. By following this principle, I have been expressing my thoughts and ideas similarly, and I could only see the difference in people's talk. Still, I am sure one-day things change on the ground of reality, whereas things will change at the forefront, not only in people's conversation. I hope this book will nurture your thoughts and get you the exact feel of my thoughts. Lastly, I hope this book will help the aspiring PM's and PMO's in the right way to groom them and present them in a way where you will not become a Project manager, but you can also become a front runner for a future great leader; you can become an influencer.

Download or read book Slices written by I.J. Schecter and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2008-10-22 with total page 250 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Millions of words are written in this field every year, but few better than those that come from I.J. Schecter." --"Jane Carter, Editor, " Golf Monthly "In golf, there are the elite, and then there are the rest of us. We others, lumped together in the Duffer Zone--you know us from the formal announcements we send out whenever we break 100--are like the thousands who finish mid-pack in a big-city marathon: happily unremarkable, content just to enjoy the sunshine with some like-minded others, unconcerned about the guy who crossed the tape forty minutes earlier. We are competent but not brilliant. We are enthusiastic, though a far cry from intense. Our fairway woods are mostly reliable, but put a 3-iron in our hands and we might as well be swinging a screwdriver." To the low- and high-handicapper alike, golf represents an ongoing quest and an exhilarating challenge. In this brilliant collection, award-winning author I.J. Schecter embarks on a dogged pursuit of golf's elusive Holy Grail--breaking 100--with hilarious results. Clinging to boundless (and often groundless) optimism, Schecter attempts to untangle the secret to good golf in increasingly desperate ways--like playing five different courses in five days, accompanying a greenskeeping team on their pre-dawn rounds, trying to replicate one of Tiger Woods' legendary shots, and turning to a three-year-old for guidance. Like any golfer, he comes to realize that the journey, though demanding, proves its own reward. A unique book from a gifted writer, "Slices" is an eloquent, witty celebration of both the game of golf and the unwavering efforts of those who try, again and again, to tame it.

Download or read book Can I Keep My Jersey written by Paul Shirley and published by Villard. This book was released on 2008-03-25 with total page 338 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: He’s been called a journeyman. Even Paul wouldn’t dispute that classification. Regardless, Bill Simmons, ESPN’s “The Sports Guy,” has said of Paul Shirley, “We could finally have an answer to the question ‘What would it be like if one of our friends was an NBA player?” There’s no denying that Paul Shirley is the closest thing pro basketball’s got to Odysseus. In Homeric fashion, he has logged time practically everywhere in the roundball universe, from six NBA cities to pro leagues in Spain and Greece to North America’s pro ball Siberia, the minor leagues. Hell, he’s even played in the real Siberia. And in Can I Keep My Jersey?, Shirley finally puts down roots long enough to deliver one of the great locker-room chronicles of the modern age. With sharp elbows and an even sharper wit, Shirley–whose writings have been described as “wildly entertaining” by The Wall Street Journal–drops hilarious commentary, revealing which teams have the best cheerleaders (he’s spent many a time-out watching them ply their trade), why Christ is rapidly becoming every team’s “sixth man,” and even the best ways to get bloodstains out of your game uniform, using only an ordinary bar of soap and a hotel bathroom sink. From sharing the court with Kobe and Shaq to perusing the food court at some mall in a bush-league burg; from taking pregame layups to getting laid out by a stray knee from an NBA power forward; from hopping a limo to the team’s charter jet to dashing to catch the van home from a B-league game in Tijuana, Shirley dishes on what it’s like to try to make it as a professional athlete. Can I Keep My Jersey? is a rollicking, thoughtful, even thought-provoking insider’s look at a pro baller’s life on the fringe. Like Jim Bouton’s Ball Four or John Feinstein’s A Season on the Brink, Shirley’s odyssey deserves to find a home on every sports fan’s bookshelf.
