This ebook gives the definition, benefits, and recipes in the Mediterranean diet. Pros of eating a Mediterranean diet. • It lets you eat only what you love. The Mediterranean diet comprises a variety of whole, fresh foods, making it easy for you to build some good food options from the diet. The foods that make up this diet just need minor tweaks. For instance, instead of a sausage and pepperoni pizza, you can choose one diet fully piled with veggies. You are free to include a lot of food types in a meal. When you fill-up your meal with fresh foods like fruit and vegetables, they will help you build volume into your meals so that you can consume fewer calories. • The diet is low in saturated fat. The Mediterranean diet saves you from constant hunger since it has a variety of healthy fats in it. The diet limits large amounts of red or processed meats, which helps you consume more monounsaturated fatty acids like nuts, avocado, and olive oil. These fatty acids reduce cholesterol intake, which is high in saturated fats. • The Mediterranean diet lowers the risk of getting cancer. A growing number of studies indicate that people following a Mediterranean diet have a lower chance of getting colon cancer, prostate cancer, and some neck and head cancers. These studies were published in September 2016 in the British Journal of Cancer, in the European Journal of Cancer Prevention in September 2017, and in the Journal of Urology in February 2018 One skillet Mediterranean chicken recipe This recipe is ideal for dinner.

This ebook gives you helpful tips on how to make him love you more. Tip number one. Don’t attempt to change your man. As tempting as it can be, don’t attempt to change your man to suit your ways, especially if he’s happy the way he is. If your man feels like you accept him for who he is, he will cherish and love you more. There is a lot of power behind a woman who inspires her man to be the best version of himself without making him feel imperfect. Tip number two. Don’t force your man to like the same things as you do. Understand that your man is a separate human being from you, and he had a life before meeting you. If you find that your likes are conflicting with his, don't make him feel guilty for not enjoying the same stuff as you do. Your man will feel more peaceful and will love you more for not pushing him around like a child to do the same things as you do. Translator: Celine Claire PUBLISHER: TEKTIME

This e-book helps men get the tactics of gaining trust from the ladies they adore in their lives. Tip number one. PUT YOURSELF IN HER SHOES You may have already heard of this. However, empathy is not an overrated thing at all. We are different, at least in some ways. So, if you’re not ready to see a situation from another perspective too, how can you really understand what’s going on? There is truly no doubt that men and women see relationships from varying angles, but a desire for trustful behavior isn't reserved for one gender. Indeed, you’ll find that if you look at the situation from her perspective, there are similarities to what you’re thinking yourself. Do you want her to be honest and trustworthy with you? Do you want to actively plan activities you'll do together? Do you want to know her circle of friends and see that she's letting you into her life? Do you want to know that she's showing trust? See, it all comes full circle! Your lady is in a similar situation. She wants you to show her that she's an essential component of your life, not that you want to keep her at arm's length. This involves restraining yourself without explaining why, not asking for “freedom” aggressively, not ghosting or gaslighting her (at all). After all, don’t you want the same things? Tip number two. BE HONEST WITH HER Honesty is the foundation that keeps everything else together in your relationship. If you don’t reinforce honesty daily, it’ll slowly disappear. Note that being sincere doesn’t imply being utterly frank. There’s a big difference between “you look better in other skirts, sweetie” and ”that skirt looks absolutely miserable on you.” You don't desire to be ruthlessly transparent unless you and your lady agree that it’s an essential part of your relationship. Otherwise, share your thoughts and opinions, although respectfully and neutrally. You want to formulate quality conversations without appearing like you're set on arguing. In other words, don’t treat her like she’s a fragile person who can't recognize the truth, but you shouldn't be downright mean with her either. Translator: Celine Claire PUBLISHER: TEKTIME
This e-book gives you tips on how to fully enjoy your relationship. Are you curious about how you too can a have a sparkling relationship? Well, reading this e-book will help you have better relationships since it has up to 49 ways that you can depend on for good relationship outcomes. 1, Assess the type of your love: Falling in love with somebody is the easy part. The challenge that couples encounter is how to rekindle the fires of their romance often and also to cultivate the mature, trusting love that is the foundation of a sparkling and lasting relationship. What style of love are you using? When you say that, ”I love you,” What do you want to imply? Terry Hatkoff, a sociologist at California State University, has initiated a love scale that identifies six different types of love present in our closest links that are mentioned here below; Romantic love: This type of love is based on passion and sexual attraction. Best friends: This is characterized by fondness and deep affection. Logical: It is characterized by practical feelings based on shared values, financial goals, religion, among others. Playful: In this type of love, feelings are evoked by flirtation or feeling challenged. Possessive: Jealousy and obsession are the foundation of this type of love. Unselfish: This is a type of love that is characterized by nurturing, kindness, and sacrifice. Researchers have discovered that the love we feel in our highly committed relationships is mainly a combination of two or three distinctive forms of love. But usually, two individuals in the same relationship can possess extremely different versions of how they define love. Dr. Hatkoff shares the example of a man and a woman having dinner. The waiter flirts with the lady, but the husband doesn't seem to care much, and he then talks about changing the oil in her car. The wife is troubled since her husband is not jealous. Her husband feels like she is not appreciative of his extra work. How is love assessed here? Well, the husband and his wife define love differently. To him, love is practical and is best illustrated by supportive gestures such as car maintenance. To her, love is possessive, and a jealous response from her husband would make her feel treasured. So, you must understand what makes your partner feel loved to help you navigate disagreements and put the romance back into your relationship. 2, Learn to ignite romance: Romantic love is termed as a natural addiction since it activates your brain’s reward center that is characterized by dopamine pathways that are associated with novelty, energy, focus, learning, motivation, cravings, and ecstasy. This is why we feel very energized and motivated once we fall in love. Translator: Celine Claire PUBLISHER: TEKTIME

The e-book is a biography of Obama's life as a child and his works before, during, and after being the 44th president of the USA. Barack Hussein Obama was born on 4th August 1961 in Honolulu, Hawaii. He is an American politician and attorney who served as the 44th president for two terms from 2009 to 2017. He is the son of parents from Kenya and Kansas. Barack Obama's father, Barack Obama Senior., was born of Luo ethnicity in Nyanza Province, Kenya. Obama's dad grew up herding goats in Africa. Eventually, he received a scholarship that allowed him to leave Kenya and follow his dreams of going to college in Hawaii. During World War II, Obama's mum, Ann Dunham, was born on an Army base in Wichita, Kansas. As he studied at the University of Hawaii at Manoa, Obama's dad met fellow student Ann Dunham. The two got married on 2nd February 1961, and Obama Junior was born six months later. Obama Senior left soon after Obama Junior's birth, and the couple divorced two years later. In 1965, Ann Dunham was re-married to Lolo Soetoro, an Indonesian student from the University of Hawaii. Twelve months later, the new family transferred to Jakarta, Indonesia, where Obama Junior's half-sister, Maya Soetoro Ng, was born in 1970. A series of incidents in Indonesia left Ann Dunham uncertain of Obama Junior's safety and education. So, when he was 10, Obama Junior was sent back to Hawaii to live with his maternal grandparents. Ann Dunham and Obama Junior's step-sister, Maya Soetoro Ng, later joined them. Barack Obama Junior Growing Up As a child, Barack Obama Junior did not have a relationship with his father. While Obama Junior was still an infant, his father relocated to Massachusetts to attend Harvard University and pursue a Ph.D. Obama Junior's parents officially separated after some time and eventually divorced in March 1964, when Obama Junior was two years old. After a while, Obama Senior returned to Kenya. Barack Obama struggled with his dad's absence during his childhood, who he saw just once more after his parents had divorced. This was when Obama Senior visited Hawaii for a short while in 1971. “[My father] had left paradise, and nothing that my mother or grandparents told me could obviate that single, unassailable fact,” Obama Junior later reflected. “They couldn’t describe what it might have been like had he stayed.” While living with his grandparents, Obama Junior enrolled in the esteemed Punahou Academy. He excelled in basketball and graduated with academic honors in 1979. Since he was among the only three Black learners at the school, Obama Junior became conscious of racism and what it truly meant to be an African American. Obama Junior later described how he struggled to reconcile social perceptions of his multiracial heritage with his sense of self: “I noticed that there was nobody like me in the Sears, Roebuck Christmas catalog….and that Santa was a white man. Obama Junior wrote: “I went into the bathroom and stood in front of the mirror with all my senses and limbs seemingly intact, looking as I had always looked, and wondered if something was wrong with me.” Translator: Celine Claire PUBLISHER: TEKTIME

Being apart from the lady you like can be one of the difficult things you ever have to do. So how do you make sure that the girl misses you while you're gone? This e-book gives you up to 50 ways to make her miss you. Tip number one. Minimize the amount of time you spend together If you want the girl to miss you when you're apart from one another, then you can't spend too much of your free time with her. You should hang out with her enough to make her see how awesome, fun, and interesting you are, but not so much that she starts to take you for granted or feels like you've run out of things to say to each other. Make an effort to see her once or twice a week, but ensure that she's not the only to-do on your social calendar, or she'll start to think that she can have you whenever she wants. Tip number two. Limit your phone time with her If you and the girl you are interested in talk on the phone, ensure that you keep your conversations relatively short so she doesn't assume you have nothing better to do than to talk to her all the time. You can talk to her to set up plans or to see how she's doing for some few minutes, but you shouldn't let the conversation drag on so long that you've run out of things to say. To keep her interested, you want her to feel like she can never run out of things to say to you once you meet. Don't tell her everything that you're thinking or everything that's happening in your life over the phone. Save some of it for when you actually meet her in-person.

As Kanye explained over Twitter, he fell into trouble while trying to attain every creative dream he ever had.

It happens without warning: At a folk-rock show at her son’s college, Lily becomes transfixed by the guitarist’s unassuming onstage presence and beautiful playing—and with his final note, something within her breaks loose. After the concert, Lily returns to her comfortable life—an Upper West Side apartment, a job as a videographer, and a kind if distracted husband—but she can’t stop thinking about the music, or about the duo’s guitarist, JJ. Unable to resist the pull of either one, she rashly offers to make a film about the band in order to gain a place with them on tour. But when Lily dares to step out from behind her camera, she falls deep into JJ’s world—upsetting the tenuous balance between him and his bandmate, and filling a chasm of need she didn’t know she had. Captivating and provocative, Play for Me captures the thrill and heartbreak of deciding to leave behind what you love to follow what you desire.

Governance through Development locates the Poverty Reduction Strategy Paper (PRSP) framework within the broader context of international law and global governance, exploring its impact on third world state engagement with the global political economy and the international regulatory norms and institutions which support it. The PRSP framework has replaced the controversial structural adjustment programmes, as the primary mechanism through which official development financing is channelled to low-income developing countries. It has changed the regulatory landscape of international development financing, signalling a wider paradigmatic shift in the cartography of aid and, consequently, in the nature of north-south relations. Governance through Development documents and analyses this change within the legacy of postcolonial economic relations, revealing the wider legal, economic and geo-political significance of the PRSP framework. Celine Tan argues that the PRSP framework establishes a new regulatory regime that builds upon the disciplinary project of structural adjustment by embedding neoliberal economic conditionalities within a regime of domestic governance and public policy reform. The book will be of interest to scholars, researchers and students of law, political science and international relations, sociology and development studies.
2022 PORCHLIGHT LEADERSHIP & STRATEGY BOOK OF THE YEAR A transformational book for trying times, Dare to Un-Lead will challenge the way you think and feel about the role of leadership in your life. What is revered as leadership today is often nothing more than a destructive set of obsolete behaviors and systems evolved from the centuries-old industrial theories popularized by Frederick Taylor and Henry Ford. This mode of leadership harms individuals and societies and must be reinvented to better reflect the way we live, trade, and work in the 21st century. Dare to Un-Lead explores how contemporary organizations can transform leadership from a top-down hegemony to one that empowers people to lead together through the concepts of liberty, equality, and community. Kotter affiliate and global engagement leadership specialist Céline Schillinger combines her experience enacting digital-enabled, people-focused collective work practices in global corporate structures with a deep analysis of leadership—studied through multiple lenses and timely sources of knowledge—to provide original insights into why these practices work. The result is a series of evidence-based approaches for reinventing collective performance across organizations in a post-pandemic world. From large corporations to small businesses, the lessons learned in this landmark book, implemented individually and collectively over time, will make our workplaces more equal, our jobs more gratifying, and our economies more profitable. And that will make the world a better place.
In 1979 Dubrovnik was declared a UNESCO World Heritage site, which had consequences for the city's broader cultural heritage. Walls and Gateways explores how this status intersects with the reconstruction and consolidation of identities and locality in the city’s post-war context. It analyses how representations, perceptions and uses of Dubrovnik’s heritage are embedded in particular cultural practices, materiality and place. In Dubrovnik’s post-war context, different uses of cultural memory and heritage provoke both dissonance and unity, shape practices and mobilize cultural and political activism.
In the vein of Luster and Queenie, an unflinching portrayal of high-paid sex work in the age of the internet-an intoxicating, bold debut from a dazzling new voice. Sugar, Baby follows Agnes, a mixed-race 21-year-old whose life seems to be heading nowhere. Still living at home, she works as a cleaner and spends all her money in clubs on the weekends searching for distractions from her mundane life. That is until she meets Emily, daughter of one of her cleaning clients, who lives in London and works as a model . . . and a sugar baby, dating rich older men for money. Emily's life is the escape Agnes has been longing for-extravagant tasting menus, champagne on tap, glamorous hotels with unlimited room service, designer gifts from dates who call her beautiful. But this new lifestyle is the last straw for her religious mother Constance. Kicked out of her family home, Agnes moves in with Emily and the other sugar babies in their fancy London flat and is drawn deeper and deeper into their world. But these women come from money: they possess a safety net Agnes does not. And as she is thrown from one precarious relationship to the next-a married man who wants to show off the glamourous, exotic girl on his arm; a Russian billionaire's wife who makes Agnes central to a sex party in Miami-she finds herself searching for fulfillment just as desperately as she was before. A compelling journey of self-discovery that offers sharp commentary on race, beauty, and class, Sugar, Baby is an electric, original, spellbinding novel that will keep readers turning the pages until the very end.
Read the story of French Canadian migration into the Vermont and New York with photographs of their vibrant heritage. French Canadian migration into the Champlain Valley in Vermont and New York from the 1850s onward changed the landscape of the Northeast in significant and often subtle ways. As a substantial part of the labor force, Franco-Americans harvested the lumber and mined the stone that built the North Country of both states. They built elaborately appointed churches that served as cornerstones of their communities and a testament to their deep religious faith. They were professionals who ran businesses on the main streets of the bucolic villages and towns around Lake Champlain, as well as farmers and mill workers who eked out a life toiling in the dirt and in textile factories. They formed innumerable fraternal organizations and societies like the Union St. Jean Baptiste and the Champlain Chevaliers to preserve their culture and religion, often in the face of discrimination. The photographs in this volume document their vibrant heritage.
In The Hypersexuality of Race, Celine Parreñas Shimizu urges a shift in thinking about sexualized depictions of Asian/American women in film, video, and theatrical productions. Shimizu advocates moving beyond denunciations of sexualized representations of Asian/American women as necessarily demeaning or negative. Arguing for a more nuanced approach to the mysterious mix of pleasure, pain, and power in performances of sexuality, she advances a theory of “productive perversity,” a theory which allows Asian/American women—and by extension other women of color—to lay claim to their own sexuality and desires as actors, producers, critics, and spectators. Shimizu combines theoretical and textual analysis and interviews with artists involved in various productions. She complicates understandings of the controversial portrayals of Asian female sexuality in the popular Broadway musical Miss Saigon by drawing on ethnographic research and interviews with some of the actresses in it. She looks at how three Hollywood Asian/American femme fatales—Anna May Wong, Nancy Kwan, and Lucy Liu—negotiate representations of their sexuality; analyzes 1920s and 1930s stag films in which white women perform as sexualized Asian characters; and considers Asian/American women’s performances in films ranging from the stag pornography of the 1940s to the Internet and video porn of the 1990s. She also reflects on two documentaries depicting Southeast Asian prostitutes and sex tourism, The Good Woman of Bangkok and 101 Asian Debutantes. In her examination of films and videos made by Asian/American feminists, Shimizu describes how female characters in their works reject normative definitions of race, gender, and sexuality, thereby expanding our definitions of racialized sexualities in representation.
In The Movies of Racial Childhoods Celine Parreñas Shimizu examines early twenty-first-century cinematic representations of Asian and Asian American children. Drawing on psychoanalysis and her own perspective as a mother grieving for a deceased child, Shimizu considers how cinema renders Asian American children through sexualized racial difference, infantilization, and premature adultification. She looks at how Asian American childhood is characterized in film through experiences of alienation and trauma and contends that childhood development requires finding freedom and self-sovereignty through agentic attunement. In analyzing films that focus on queer Asian American youth such as Spa Night (2016) and Driveways (2019) and those that explore the trauma of being an immigrant like Yellow Rose (2019) and The Half of It (2020), Shimizu demonstrates that films can prompt viewers to evaluate their own childhood development. They also allow the opportunity to understand the demands placed upon Asian American children, particularly in regard to race and sexuality. In this way, cinema becomes a vehicle for empowering our inner child and the children all around us.
