Описание: In the wake of an injury, Broadway dancer Matthew Whyteman goes overseas to serve as the fitness trainer for an octogenarian heiress. But after being thrust into an unfamiliar old-money world and initiated into the ranks of a highly dysfunctional live-in staff, Matthew finds out that life with Madame is a far cry from the easy-money gig he anticipated. In spite of the fact that his idle assignment (Awaiting Madame) becomes an inescapable purgatory, he digs into the role and fights to secure his position within her entourage. While traveling to various properties in Morocco, Austria, England, and France, his middle-class American upbringing humorously collides with her European ber-class lifestyle. And although the journey with Madame ultimately renews Matthew's creative spirit, it also reminds the reader that inspiration often dwells in unexpected places. Based on actual events, Dan Weltner details Matthew's gap year abroad in the form of a witty first-person narrative, and pointedly exposes the oddities of working as a servant within a twenty-first century upstairs/downstairs household.
Have you ever had an Uber or Lyft ride? Ever asked your driver about his or her crazy or steamy incidents. Of course, you have. I had these questions daily for the 3 years I drove for Uber.
Now, Juicy Uber gives you the best of the best and the worst of the worst - all kinds of provocative activity and conversations, social and moral contradictions, insights about the riders and, of course, the nudity, drug and sexual exploits (back seat 3soms, front seat stripping, etc.) that make up the juicy, crazy and steamy stories of the rides and riders I experienced.
They were real happenings, in real time, in real voices by real riders sourced from an unadulterated daily Journal of 6,000+ rides and 12,000+ passengers over those 3 years.
As the author or should I say narrator, commentator and social observer, my involvement here has resulted in controversial observations, insights and conclusions which reflect provocative changes in society.
You probably have heard the expression, 'the new normal'. Well, much of Juicy Uber shows that the 'new normal' standards and values are a lot different than the 'old normal'. And, that's something all of us should at least understand if not respect, especially where changes in gender identification and social and sexual trends among Gen Z and Millennials come into play. You might call it the 'new abnormal'

Описание: This book analyzes the legal issues connected with the provision of Uber-related services. It primarily focuses on the various contractual and non-contractual relationships that occur during the use of Uber applications, especially with reference to Uber headquarters (Uber App), Uber branch offices (advertisements), Uber partner drivers (employees or self-employed), Uber application registered users, Uber transportation service users (contracting passenger) and third-party Uber transportation service users (additional passenger). It also provides a comparison of standard transportation services and contracts of carriage, irrespective of whether the carrier in question is a common carrier, contractual carrier, actual carrier or an intermediary service provider. Furthermore, the book presents the relevant case law, especially with regard to Uber as a taxi service, Uber as a share-riding service, Uber as a rent-a-car with driver service, Uber as an employer and Uber as a key organizer of transportation service, in Croatia, Belgium, Germany, Italy, the Netherlands, United Kingdom, United States, Hungary, Argentina, and France. Lastly, it explores the different legislative approaches to resolving various issues related to the appearance of Uber and similar companies – the Laissez-faire model, Status Quo model, Legal Adjustment model, and the New Legislative Paradigm model.
Описание: This book examines how regulators and policymakers from nine different countries have dealt with Uber, and initiates a legal dialogue between different jurisdictions that could potentially pave the way to a harmonized approach in regulating Uber.

Описание: While driving cheaters, prostitutes, lovers, atheists, religious people, on drugs, politicians and drunken people, their scandalous stories with shame and fear of life make them live a life of fear. They cheat, lie and think of killing others or themselves. I have been inspired by their deep stories that I have heard through listening, observing, and engaging in dialogues with riders, while driving an Uber as a temporary after-hours job. The stories are very deep, revealing the suffering of people that are exposed while they go about doing their business, and in moments of their secret life. From a cheating Congressman to a rich sugar mom with a playboy, to the "republic of the poor", and "love its own religion" stories.

Описание: "HEY, UBER DRIVER DO YOU THINK MY FRIEND SHOULD GO HOME WITH THIS GUY?"
My rider blurted out the question without my prompting. I kept my mouth shut and my eyes on the road. "We just met him tonight...but he bought us hotdogs and drinks." Pop music from a local radio station played softly in the background as I began to process her statement. I AM A LATE NIGHT UBER DRIVER. Well, actually I'm a stay-at-home dad trying to earn a few extra bucks on the weekends. Driving the night shift in a college town, I was originally enticed by the surge fares and 2 a.m. bar rush, but I soon discovered something far more valuable than an extra boost of income. I found that the young people I drive around need more than just a safe ride home-they need to know that there is still hope in this crazy world. JOIN ME AS I SHARE MY TALES OF LATE NIGHTS on the Uber circuit-the good, the bad and the ugly. And stick around to discover the answer to the one question everyone always wants to know: "Has anyone ever puked in your car?"
