Download or read book Standing Out written by Robert N. Jacobs and published by Grosvenor House Publishing. This book was released on 2024-01-04 with total page 158 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Standing Out" - it's not just a phrase, but an ethos that calls for distinguishing oneself from the crowd. Yet, true distinction goes far beyond the superficial aspects like eccentric hairstyles or bold fashion choices. It is anchored in the depth of your character, the strength of your values, and how these are mirrored in your actions. In the journey of life, standing out for the right reasons is synonymous with upholding high moral standards and values. In a world where such virtues are seemingly diminishing, preserving them becomes your beacon of strength. It's about being remembered for the right reasons, leaving a lasting impression of integrity and excellence in your wake. Whether it's a job interview or a first date, making a positive, lasting impression can be a game-changer. Your conduct, your demeanour, and most importantly, your ethical principles frame the way others perceive you. Your reputation, intrinsically tied to your name, is moulded by these impressions. The intriguing aspect of reputation is its extensive influence; it can precede you, shaping perceptions even among those who haven't met you. Are you prepared to Stand Out? Not just on the surface, but in a deeply significant manner that aligns with your high standards and moral values? In a time of moral erosion, standing out for the right reasons doesn't only fuel your professional success, it also enhances your personal life. Allow this book to steer you on this transformative journey, empowering you to leave a lasting mark on the world.
Download or read book Still Standing written by Paul Vollmin and published by FriesenPress. This book was released on 2018-06-07 with total page 164 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Growing up in a prairie farm family, with a very close-knit church community, Paul Vollmin is raised to believe that a Christian should be different. But somehow, even though the Bible tells him that he has changed when he’s accepted Jesus as his savior, he doesn’t feel changed. And as Paul enters a rebellious stage, he starts to indulge his own personal failures, losing touch with his faith and living lie after lie. One day, as a young husband and father, he just can’t sustain it any longer and finds himself hospitalized for severe depression and considering suicide as a viable way out. Still Standing is Paul’s personal story of coming to terms with the past and present in light of a faith in Jesus Christ. Be forewarned, his journey is no idealized picture of what a Christian should look like, but a discovery of how a real life, warts and all, can be transformed by a real God. In frank and frequently very funny fashion, Still Standing provides full disclosure in its chronicle of God reaching into the darkest corners of a man’s being, to bring light and healing to a life of faith gone wrong.
Download or read book Standing Out Standing Together written by Melinda Miceli and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2013-01-11 with total page 265 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Just a decade ago, requests by students to establish groups to support gay and lesbian students were rare and generally met with shock and confusion by school administrators and local communities. Today there are more than 1600 gay straight alliances (GSAs) across the country. Standing Out, Standing Together documents the emergence of gay straight alliances in public schools across America - from factors that have contributed to the relatively rapid spread of GSA to those that stirred controversy and posed roadblocks. Using over 10 years of interviews with students, teachers, administrators and political activists; case studies; and local and national media reports, Miceli explores the personal and political stakes involved in the battles over GSAs. Although the book acknowledges and documents the harassment, abuse and problems suffered by many gay, lesbian, transgendered, and bisexual students, its primary focus is on these students as political activists, rather than as passive victims, making it a unique contribution to sociologists, educators, political activists and LGBTreaders alike.
Download or read book Out Standing in the Field written by Sandra Perron and published by Cormorant Books. This book was released on 2017-04-06 with total page 297 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Some books are catalysts. Shake Hands with the Devil was one. For 2017, that book is Out Standing in the Field. In her memoir, Sandra Perron describes her experience of the Canadian Military - one of the most important institutions of our nation. What she has to say is exactly what the top brass has been paying lip-service to for years, and doing nothing to improve. In 2016, the Auditor General's Report noted that the military had no strategy to recruit women, even though they are required to meet a target that 25% of the uniformed personnel be women. According to Statistics Canada, 1,000 members of our military say they have been sexually assaulted in the past year. In her revealing and moving memoir, Sandra Perron, Canada's first female infantry officer and a member of the Royal 22e Régiment - the legendary "Van Doos" - describes her fight against a system of institutional sexism. Though repeatedly identified as top of her class throughout her training, she was subject to harassment by her male colleagues. Her military experience, however, wasn't all negative. Through two deployments to Bosnia and Croatia, Perron forged lasting friendships with men and women, serving her country with courage and compassion, and her determination helped pave the way for women's inclusion in the Armed Forces. Out Standing in the Field is the story of a soldier who refused to let her comrades or her country down, even while serving a military institution that failed her repeatedly. Beautifully written, Perron's memoir is a testament to her fortitude and patriotism, and serves as proof that the spirit of a true hero cannot be bent or broken.

Book excerpt: The inhabitants of the planet of Dosthlen have lived peacefully for centuries. Eight different countries all existing on their own continents have never had any reason to fight. They have lived their lives, created their civilizations, and built their cities. Only now, they have built too much. Their technology has allowed them to move off the planet and colonize space and their moons. For the first time in their existence, they have something to fight over. Every country has a stake in this new territory, and is willing to fight for it. But no one has any understanding of how to fight a war. The leaders of all eight countries now scramble to build new weapons and find anyone in their countries who have a natural ability to use them. Some wage aggressive assaults that cause the deaths of numerous people on both sides, and others lay low as long as possible before they are forced into the conflict. Many build weapons that are more destructive than they realize. One such weapon trumps them all and is capable of sealing a victory for anyone who wields it. But when that weapon is lost out in space, it becomes a race to see who can get to it first. But no one is prepared for the destruction that will come upon all the countries by the time their war is over.

Download or read book Standing Up Speaking Out written by Matthew R. Meier and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2016-10-14 with total page 285 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In recent decades, some of the most celebrated and culturally influential American oratorical performances have come not from political leaders or religious visionaries, but from stand-up comics. Even though comedy and satire have been addressed by rhetorical scholarship in recent decades, little attention has been paid to stand-up. This collection is an attempt to further cultivate the growing conversation about stand-up comedy from the perspective of the rhetorical tradition. It brings together literatures from rhetorical, cultural, and humor studies to provide a unique exploration of stand-up comedy that both argues on behalf of the form’s capacity for social change and attempts to draw attention to a series of otherwise unrecognized rhetors who have made significant contributions to public culture through comedy.
Download or read book Outlaw Bikers as Organized Crime written by Arjan Blokland and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2024-08-05 with total page 248 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The title of this volume Outlaw Bikers as Organized Crime reluctantly combines two highly contested concepts into a statement that is perhaps disputed even more. Who and what do we refer to when we talk about ‘outlaw bikers’ and ‘outlaw biker clubs’? What is meant by ‘organized crime’? And, how – if at all – are these two concepts related? All the chapters in this volume deal with these questions some way or the other, either explicitly or implicitly, each providing its own answers based on the data and methods at hand. This volume presents cutting-edge research on outlaw bikers and outlaw biker clubs from countries all over the globe and reflects the different ways that academic researchers have approached the outlaw biker phenomenon from the theoretical and methodological vantage point of organized crime research.

Download or read book Standing Tall in Times Square written by Herbert Murray and published by Inspiring Voices. This book was released on 2015-01-26 with total page 175 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: It all started on June 27, 1979, when approximately seven detectives banged on my door, guns drawn. When my common-law wife, Jackie, answered the door, they burst in, yelling, Where is Herbert Murray? When I came into the room, they grabbed me, threw me against the wall, put a gun to my head, and told me I was under arrest for murder. In the background, I could hear my thirteen-month-old daughter, Tane, crying like crazy. Those detectives didnt have any regard for our livesnot my daughters, Jackies, or mine. It was the scariest thing I have ever experienced in my life. When I asked them what they were talking about, they told me to Shut up. I was taken to the eighty-eighth precinct, located on DeKalb and Classon Avenues. They took me to the interrogation room, where they questioned me about a murder that took place two weeks before, on June 13, 1979. Can you imagine how confused I was? I was being charged for a murder I had no clue about. It seemed absolutely crazy. They were putting so much pressure on me that I couldnt even think. I had to think about two Wednesdays ago. When the detectives asked me where was I on June 13, I told them I was with a housing police officer and four others: Vincent Brown, Ronnie Cook, Junior Washington, and Andrew Lambus. When I told him I was with a police officer, the detective left the room and came back about ten minutes later. See the author in the video: The Innocent Prisoners Dilemma on NYTimes.com (2010).
Download or read book Biker Gangs and Transnational Organized Crime written by Thomas Barker and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2014-10-17 with total page 373 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Biker Gangs and Transnational Organized Crime, Second Edition, describes and analyzes a rapidly expanding global problem: criminal acts committed by motorcycle gangs. Thomas Barker, one of the world’s top experts on outlaw biker gangs, offers fascinating details about the Bandidos, the Vagos, the Mongols, and other "one percenters" (criminal biker gangs, as opposed to the vast majority of motorcycle enthusiasts). He combines this data with a strengthened conceptual framework that makes sense of this complicated picture. U.S.-based motorcycle gangs like the Hells Angels have proliferated, especially in Canada and Europe, to the point where these gangs have more members in other countries than in the United States. Increasingly more often in recent years their crimes are not limited to rumbles or drug use—these gangs challenge the dominance of organized crime, leading to violent conflicts between the rivals. Germany, Scandinavia, the UK, the Netherlands, and Canada are particularly hard-hit by this rising violence. One of Barker’s unique contributions is his Criminal Organization Continuum, building on the groundbreaking network approach to organized crime proposed by Klaus von Lampe. Introduced in the first edition, Barker elaborates his continuum tool and makes it more multi-dimensional to help refine the definition of adult criminal gangs. The product of years of research, this book lays the groundwork for further study by offering students, police, and researchers the most thorough account available of outlaw motorcycle gangs.
