One for the Girls!: The Pleasures and Practices of Reading Women's Porn - PDF
نویسندگان: خلاصه: We usually think of women as the victims of pornography rather than its consumers. Whether appearing in films, peering provocatively from the pages of magazines, or posing on explicit Web-sites, women are considered the dehumanized objects of unseen lascivious male viewers. But in her controversial new book One for the Girls!, Clarissa Smith debunks this myth and challenges women to read, watch, and enjoy pornography on their own terms. Focusing on the British magazine For Women, Smith looks at its readers’ responses to male pinups and erotica and explores the intricacies of women’s unique reactions to pornography.  “Clarissa Smith has achieved something special with her new proffering from her masculinities repertoire. Smith’s text is groundbreaking, multidisciplinary and—equally importantly—extremely readable. It is the last point perhaps that really sets this work apart, as One for the Girls has a great deal to offer both the specialist academic and the general reader. Clarissa Smith’s accessible style allows readers with little prior knowledge of critical theory, cultural studies or the 1980s pornography debate, to not only understand these discourses, but to develop a strong grasp of their impact in this context.”—Michelle Parsons, Transition Tradition

نویسندگان: خلاصه: • Lower your risk of metabolic disorders, disease, and chronic weight gain• Protect yourself against the estrogenic substances in the environment, products, water, and food• Learn how certain foods and herbs can protect you!Estrogenic chemicals—known for causing the near extinction of various living species—are found in some of the most common foods we eat.In this revolutionary diet book, Ori Hofmekler addresses the millions of overweight and obese individuals who have failed or are disappointed with other diets—those who suffer from yoyo dieting, weight gain rebounds, or accumulation of stubborn fat in the belly and other estrogen-sensitive areas. Focusing on our current over-exposure to estrogenic chemicals in the environment, foods, and water, The Anti-Estrogenic Diet provides a practical solution to fat gain, estrogen-related disorders (PMS, endometriosis, fibrocystic disease), and increased risk of common cancers in women and men (breast, ovarian, cervical, prostate).Allowing you to still enjoy your favorite foods, the program is based on incorporating anti-estrogenic foods, spices, and herbs into your diet, while eliminating estrogenic foods and chemicals. Exposing dietary myths and fallacies, Hofmekler teaches readers that some foods commonly regarded as “healthy” may actually be harmful and vice versa.Special chapters dedicated to readers with different needs and health conditions, recipes, a question-and-answer section, and a list of scientific references are also included in this valuable resource.
Electronics For You - Projects and Ideas 2000 - Original PDF
نویسندگان: خلاصه: ransistor lead identification is cru-cial in designing and servicing. A cir-cuit designer or a serviceman must befully conversant with the types of tran-sistors used in a circuit. Erroneous leadidentification may lead to malfunctions,and, in extreme cases, even destructionof the circuit being designed or serviced.Though transistor manufacturers en-capsulate their products in different pack-age outlines for identification, it is im-possible to memorise the outlines of in-numerable transistors manufactured bythe industry. Although a number ofmanuals are published, which provide pindetails, they may not always be acces-sible. Besides, it is not always easy tofind out the details of a desired transis-tor by going through the voluminousmanuals. But, a handy gadget, called tran-sistor lead identifier, makes the job easy.All one has to do is place the transistorin the gadget’s socket to instantly get thedesired information on its display, irre-spective of the type and package-outlineof the device under test.A manually controlled version of thepresent project had been published in June’84 issue of EFY. The present model is to-tally microprocessor controlled, and henceall manually controlled steps are replacedby software commands. A special circuit,shown in Fig. 1, which acts as an interfaceto an 8085 -based microprocessor kit, hasbeen developed for the purpose.

The Myths of Standardized Tests: Why They Don't Tell You What You Think They Do - PDF
نویسندگان: خلاصه: Pundits, politicians, and business leaders continually make claims for what standardized tests can do, and those claims go largely unchallenged because they are in line with popular assumptions about what these tests can do, what the scores mean, and the psychology of human motivation. But what most of what these opinion leaders say-and the public believes-about standardized testing just isn't so. However, few members of the general public, not even concerned parents, have the time or the background to keep up with the latest findings of testing experts, psychometricians, and researchers. That's where The Myths of Standardized Tests comes in. In simple, accessible language, Harris, Smith, and Harris spell out the assumptions underlying standardized tests and point out what's true about them and what's just plain mythical. But they not only debunk common assumptions; they propose better ways to judge the success of our schools. They also offer readers suggestions for ways they can help reduce the burden of tests on their children.Appendixes offer readers contact information and suggestions for actions they can take to become part of the solution to the problem of overusing and misusing standardized tests.

Attached: The New Science of Adult Attachment and How It Can Help You Find – and Keep – Love - PDF
نویسندگان: خلاصه: Is there a science to love? In this groundbreaking book, psychiatrist and neuroscientist Amir Levine and Rachel S. F. Heller reveal how an understanding of attachment theory-the most advanced relationship science in existence today-can help us find and sustain love. Attachment theory forms the basis for many bestselling books on the parent/child relationship, but there has yet to be an accessible guide to what this fascinating science has to tell us about adult romantic relationships-until now. Attachment theory owes its inception to British psychologist and psychoanalyst John Bowlby, who in the 1950s examined the tremendous impact that our early relationships with our parents or caregivers has on the people we become. Also central to attachment theory is the discovery that our need to be in a close relationship with one or more individuals is embedded in our genes. In Attached, Levine and Heller trace how these evolutionary influences continue to shape who we are in our relationships today. According to attachment theory, every person behaves in relationships in one of three distinct ways: *ANXIOUS people are often preoccupied with their relationships and tend to worry about their partner's ability to love them back. *AVOIDANT people equate intimacy with a loss of independence and constantly try to minimize closeness. *SECURE people feel comfortable with intimacy and are usually warm and loving. Attached guides readers in determining what attachment style they and their mate (or potential mates) follow. It also offers readers a wealth of advice on how to navigate their relationships more wisely given their attachment style and that of their partner. An insightful look at the science behind love, Attached offers readers a road map for building stronger, more fulfilling connections.Author(s): Amir Levine, Rachel Heller Publisher: Penguin Group USA, Year: 2010 ISBN: 1585428485,9781585428489
Make Your Money Work for You: How to Grow Your Investment Dollars - Original PDF
نویسندگان: خلاصه: We belong to the sandwich generation. Our children depend on us, as doour parents. For our children, we are seeing the price of a higher educationrising faster than the rate of inflation. For our parents, we are possiblylooking at hundreds of thousands of dollars in costs for treating majorillnesses they run the risk of contracting. The sandwich generation is beingchewed on at both ends.We are struggling to support ageing parents and pay university tuitionfees for our children. And this is probably the worst situation you can findyourself in — when you have to depend on others to support you in yourretirement years.In the future, you will either have enough money or you will not. If youdon’t, chances are that your neighbour living next door to you will. Peopleliving in Singapore and in Asia overall are getting wealthier and wealthier.In the year 2009, Singapore saw the highest growth in millionairehouseholds, up 35 per cent, followed by 33 per cent for Malaysia, 32 per centfor Slovakia, and 31 per cent for China (2010 Global Wealth Report by TheBoston Consulting Group). Singapore now has the highest concentration ofmillionaire households in the world. And Asia-Pacific, excluding Japan, isexpected to generate millionaires at nearly twice the global rate.It is horrible to retire when you don’t have enough money, and even worseif everyone around you has enough and you can’t even get by. That is whylearning how to invest is so important. For many people, it could make thedifference between a blissful retirement and a painful one.The investment environment has become very diverse in the last fewyears. We are seeing a rise in derivatives and currency trading by the public,commodity prices far outpacing stocks and bonds, hundreds of structuredproducts being made available at any one time and challenging marketconditions with inflation, lower real returns and a subprime crisis that istaking years to clean up. This is why for this third edition, we have added twoIntroductionnew chapters, revamped one chapter and expanded on previous chapters inthe hope of better describing what is out there.To succeed at investing, you need to keep two things in mind. First, youneed to keep abreast of what is happening in the investment markets. Onceyou are armed with the basic knowledge of investing (which we hope youwill gain from this book), knowing what is happening in the markets willbecome not only less strenuous but also an enjoyable pastime. Second,if you have never invested before, you need to take the plunge yourself.There is nothing like direct experience. Only when you handle your ownmoney will you be able to appreciate and understand fully the complexitiessurrounding the money markets. Finally, and most importantly, investingis your responsibility, not anyone else’s. It is neither the government’sresponsibility, nor that of your remisier or financial adviser’s.And when you do succeed, you will probably want to spare a thought forthe less fortunate. Social enterprise and socially responsible investing aretaking root in Singapore and around the world and not a moment too soonas income gaps around Asia have become particularly worrying. Singapore’sAmbassador, Tommy Koh, described “social inequity” as one of Asia’s threebiggest challenges, along with corruption and the environment.Despite headline hogging news about Asia’s booming economies, vastpockets of paralysing poverty remain. Dr. Ifzal Ali, Chief Economist of theAsian Development Bank, estimates that 42 per cent of Chinese live on theequivalent of less than $3 a day. In India, three-quarters of the population(more than 800 million people) survive each day on less than the cost of aStarbucks latte. All told, 60 per cent of all Asians still live in poverty.In the future, you will either have enough money or you will not.
