Описание: Abby Carpenter is in a tailspin knowing she is about to spend ten days in the company of her ex-girlfriend--who is now engaged to her brother--for a family holiday gathering in Red River, New Mexico. The same ex-girlfriend who last year at Christmas had lured her into bed. Abby's solution? A pretend girlfriend for the holidays would surely keep her ex away and in her own room at night, right?
Nic Bennett's life has been far from ideal and Christmas is her most dreaded holiday of all as she relives horrors from the past. When an attractive stranger approaches her with the offer of a chance to get away for ten days, she agrees. But with a counteroffer that brings both anxiety and excitement to the desperate Abby. Among the holiday lights and snow-covered grandeur, the lines between pretend and reality blur as the two women have the time of their lives. Soon Abby learns it isn't her ex she can't resist. And Nic learns what it means to be part of a family for Christmas.

Clare is like anyone else. She has thoughts, fears, loves, and hopes. Clare is also in a wheelchair, unable to speak to anyone. Clare wants to be seen for the person screaming inside her head. Trapped in a body she can't control, Clare's mode of communication is severely limited.
Charade is a story meant to be a voice for the voiceless, the forgotten, and the hidden members of society with severe disabilities. It is a heartwarming, as well as heart-wrenching tale about Clare and her family's journey navigating her life with a disability that often defines her existence.
Charade is for the families and caregivers who are entrenched in the isolation of daily life, managing the reality of disability-- loving their children and advocating for them the best they can. It is also intended to enrich the world with these magnificent lives and bring them out of hiding.

Job training has long been promoted as a central policy response to poverty and unemployment. Both Democrats and Republicans have trumpeted training as the answer to everything from welfare to NAFTA. The Job Training Charade provides a comprehensive critique showing that training has been a near-total failure. Even more dramatically, the book shows how politicians have ignored repeated reports of the program’s failure, and have kept funding a policy they know cannot work. Gordon Lafer first examines the economic assumptions and track record of training policy. He goes on to provide a political analysis of why job training has remained so popular despite widespread evidence of its economic failure. The author concludes that job training functions less as an economic prescription aimed at solving poverty than as a political strategy aimed at managing the popular response to economic distress. The Job Training Charade is a landmark book showing how a bipartisan consensus may coalesce behind a phantom policy that serves political needs while ignoring economic realities.

We all are going the same places in life, we just take different roads to get there, and throughout our journeys many of us only get to do what we have to do instead of what we love--"marching to the beat," so to speak. In this march who we are underneath is not who we display to the world, thus creating the "Charade Parade."
This collection of poetry expresses who Edwin Enoch is beyond the Charade Parade, and he wishes who his readers are beyond their daily charade will connect with who he is underneath and see that his experience may not be so different from their own and they will gain a sense of connectivity.

Note to Readers: This is a fan-based summary and analysis companion book for Winners Take All: The Elite Charade of Changing the World by Anand Giridharadas. This text is meant to enhance your original reading experience, not supplement it. You are strongly encouraged to purchase the originla book here: https: //amzn.to/2R6sCrb
Winners Take All takes aim at the world of philanthropy, marketing, and the elite charade of changing the world. These are large targets tackled with precision. The book looks at issues on a macro level by evaluating their global impact and systemic roots, and also on the micro level by tracking a number of men and women directly involved in both the problems and solutions facing the United States and the broader world.
The darker side of philanthropy is explored and evaluated. People with power are not likely to change the world to a significant degree, because it would threaten their own power. The people who have the power to cause positive change in the world, stand to gain the least from genuine positive change and have the most to lose as a result.
Often times the rich and powerful use donations and the giving-back of their money/resources as a sort of get out of jail free card. The act of giving away their money stops critics from inquiring how they amassed their fortunes in the first place. Giving back often comes at the expense of considerably more harm being caused to generate the money that is then given back.
Some of the fundamental questions that Winners Take All attempts to answer are: Is it possible to do good while doing well? Can the people with the power to change the world truly to so for the benefit of broader society, and if the answer is yes, then why hasn't any significant positive change been detected since the 1980s amongst those not in the top 1%? Why has widespread inequality continued to grow?
In this detailed summary and analysis of Winners Take All: The Elite Charade of Changing the World by Anand Giridharadas, you'll learn all about the widespread inequality in America. This summary touches on engaging topics like:
Why the most influential people don't want societal change
Modern day capitalism has no worthy opponent to stand against, find out why
The mind blowing studies from the Economic Policy Institution

Описание: In March 2020, a pandemic plunged the world into the chaos of an unprecedented global shutdown. But the chaos behind the scenes was far worse--and more alarming--than anyone realized. David Marcus, the New York correspondent for The Federalist and a popular writer for the New York Post, draws from exclusive interviews with high-level White House and Trump administration sources to reveal what really happened during one of the strangest upheavals in the world's history--and what it means for the future of America. Marcus's on-the-ground coverage of the COVID-19 pandemic reveals how an invisible agent forever changed our politics, technology, education, and parenting and fueled a race-related explosion of protest and violence that would dramatically transform the American conscience. With the world on pause, stunned and isolated Americans were left asking one question: "How did this happen, and when will it end?" The author of more than 40 coronavirus-related articles and a viral sensation after his May 20th call to reopen New York, Marcus makes use of firsthand accounts, government records, and endless examples of uncorrected news media mistakes to show that the great American lockdown of 2020 was the most spectacular charade of all time.
