Описание: Sewing Hope offers the first account of a bold challenge to apparel-industry sweatshops. The Alta Gracia factory in the Dominican Republic is the anti-sweatshop. It boasts a living wage three times the legal minimum, high health and safety standards, and a legitimate union--all verified by an independent monitor. It is the only apparel factory in the global south to meet these criteria. The Alta Gracia business model represents an alternative to the industry's "race to the bottom" with its inherent poverty wages and unsafe factory conditions. Workers' stories reveal how adding $0.90 to a sweatshirt's production price can change lives: from getting a life-saving operation to reuniting families; from obtaining first-ever bank loans to getting running water; from purchasing children's school uniforms to taking night classes. Sewing Hope invites readers into the apparel industry's sweatshops and the Alta Gracia factory. Learn how the anti-sweatshop started, how it overcame challenges, and how the impact of its business model could transform the global industry.

In Mulliner Nights, P. G. Wodehouse tells us that "there is no surer foundation for a beautiful friendship than a mutual taste in literature." Curtis Armstrong and Elliott Milstein might add that no mutual taste in literature is a surer foundation for friendship than a mutual love of the works of P. G. Wodehouse, and their four decades of friendship, sparked by The Master when they were barely out of short pants and spots, proves it. Across those decades, the authors expressed their love of Wodehouse through deep dives into his oeuvre in papers, presentations, and toasts delivered at Wodehouse conventions and published in Wodehouse journals.
A Plum Assignment collects these pieces together for the first time, exploring everything from the heights of Bertie Wooster's consanguinity to the depths of S. F. Ukridge's penny-ante stratagems, from the satiric depredations of Mulliner's Hollywood to precisely how Plum penned the sunshine into Blandings.
Pour yourself a cheerful whisky and s. and join two great pals for a journey through the world of P. G. Wodehouse
Описание: A PCOS diagnosis doesn't have to mean a lifetime of suffering
Are your symptoms getting in the way of your self-confidence, your social life, and your future plans for a family?
Do you wish there was a way to fix your body, without relying on medication-and its side effects-for the rest of your life?
Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome (PCOS) is estimated to affect around 1 in 10 women of childbearing age.
Despite its prevalence, it is still greatly misunderstood and often goes undiagnosed.
Even after you get a diagnosis, it is easy to feel hopeless knowing the impact PCOS has on weight, fertility, and the probability of getting certain types of illnesses.
While the symptoms and their intensity vary from person to person, living with this condition has most likely meant suffering through visible and invisible symptoms and feeling like your body is working against you.
Fortunately, getting diagnosed is the first step to healing. Knowing what's wrong with you can help you find solutions to fix them.
While there is no cure yet for PCOS, there are several medical options to treat the symptoms, such as oral contraceptives and metformin.
However, if you prefer to treat your PCOS the natural way, lifestyle changes and a PCOS-focused diet can tackle the underlying causes of the condition, empowering your body to heal itself.
In PCOS Diet, here is just a fraction of what you will discover:
● What a PCOS diagnosis means for your health and fertility, and why you need to do something about it
● The 2 most important factors in managing PCOS that are within your control
● How to fix your visible physical symptoms quickly, so you no longer have to feel self-conscious
● Why a visit to the dermatologist won't resolve your problems with cystic acne, and why addressing your PCOS will
● The emotional issues from PCOS that are just as damaging as the physical ones, and simple daily routines you can practice to keep them at bay
● How reducing this by as little as 5% can improve many of your PCOS symptoms, including fertility
● Simple but effective diet recommendations that have shown to be effective in addressing the underlying causes of PCOS
And much more.
Living with PCOS can be a frustrating and harrowing experience.
Aside from having to deal with the everyday symptoms, you also struggle with the increased possibility of getting seriously ill and never being able to get pregnant.
But having PCOS doesn't have to mean being resigned to living with excess weight or hair, chronic pains, or irregular periods that make it difficult to conceive.
You have more control over your body than you may realize, and your body is more powerful than you think, especially when you're sensitive to what your body needs.
Start your journey to healing and health, and don't let PCOS keep you from living the life you deserve.

Описание: CEO and best-selling author Dan Milstein learned hard lessons working his way to the pinnacle of the sales profession. In his new book, Street Smart Selling: How to Be a Sales Superstar, Milstein reaches out to help aspiring salespeople work their way up to join him at the top. In Street Smart Selling, Milstein lays out a detailed set of guidelines that will be useful for ambitious beginning salespeople, as well as for established professionals who wish, to paraphrase the book's subtitle, become Sales Superstars. Milstein's advice ranges from simple things, like how to make and use an effective daily to-do list, to how to develop a long-term career plan. He discusses things like the importance of getting referrals from satisfied customers, how to understand and best use social media like Facebook and LinkedIn, how to maintain lifelong customer relationships, how to make yourself stand out in a crowd, and even how to plan for the contingency of a career change. There is even a section of specific suggestions for sales managers interested in building a stronger sales team, including establishing mentoring programs, recognizing and preventing burnout, and effective coaching. Most of the book, however, is aimed at self-improvement for motivated individuals. Milstein credits his success to his own love for selling; "The salespeople with the best attitudes are those who never lose their passion for sales. Passion helps you get through the ups and downs of sales. You can 'endure' a career without passion, but you cannot be a long-term success unless you love what you do." "Be sure you know why you want to become a sales superstar. You have to understand what pushes you, whether it is financial/compensation, ego gratification, company recognition or something else. List your top two reasons now and then look at them again after three months. What's changed?" Some successful people reach the top of their profession and try to pull the ladder up after them. With Street Smart Selling, Dan Milstein is doing exactly the opposite, extending a helping hand to anyone willing to put in the hard work to climb up with him.

Описание:
Mark Victor Hansen, bestselling author of Chicken Soup for the Soul says this about 17 Cents and a Dream:
"Through pure determination, fortitude and attitude, Daniel pulled out of impossibly difficult situations. His story is true, his story is a personal inspiration to me and I hope it will inspire you too to maximize your potential and go for the greatest of dreams."
On a cold December night in 1991, a young boy with seventeen cents in his pocket first set foot in the United States. Twenty years later that young man found himself the founder and CEO of a billion-dollar corporation. Daniel Milstein's harrowing story about how his mother, father and brother escaped the oppressive government of the U.S.S.R and immigrated to the United States and carved out a life for themselves has been described as the quintessential immigrant story of the era.
Born in Kiev, Ukraine, Daniel and his family experienced undue hardship, religious persecution and life-and-death situations all in the shadows of the greatest nuclear accident that ever occurred; the Chernobyl nuclear meltdown which killed more than 100,000 people including his grandfather.
Now, as an Inc 500 CEO, Daniel has just finished a new book detailing his story; 17 Cents and a Dream: My Incredible Journey from the U.S.S.R. to Living the American Dream.
17 Cents and a Dream begins with a candid, gripping account of the Milstein family's tough life in Kiev, Ukraine under the oppressive government of the former Soviet Union. He recalls how he and his family were affected by the 1986 explosion of the Chernobyl nuclear power plant: Daniel was ten years old, and the disaster took place only 78 miles from their home, killing 100,000 people and spreading poisonous radiation throughout the environment.
A few years later the family, struggling against poverty, government oppression, and anti-Semitism, made a secret plan to flee to America. After a narrow escape, the family arrived in Ann Arbor, Michigan with no understanding of English and few belongings.
Young Daniel had only seventeen cents in his pocket, given to him by a friend to cover the expense of a postage stamp so that Daniel could send him a letter. In the ensuing years, Daniel endured extreme poverty, endless hunger, relentless bullying from his new classmates all while working long hours mopping floors and cleaning restrooms at a McDonald's.
"None of this came easy.... In school after working my morning shift at McDonald's, I was painfully aware that I smelled like a quarter pounder with cheese.... I was always tired, but I was also proud that I was able to take care of my family and to make something of myself, to honor the wishes of my grandfather."
Milstein's work ethic and relentless determination fueled his success. After graduating from college, he worked for various financial institutions and was consistently promoted.
Milstein's courage and sheer willpower continued to drive him as he began to build upon his success in the world of finance, working harder and longer than anyone else, until eventually opening and growing his own billion-dollar company, Gold Star Mortgage Financial Group.
