Gross Me Out!

50 Nasty Projects to Disgust Your Friends & Repulse Your Family

By: Joe Rhatigan,Rain Newcomb

New in Paper Kids absolutely love everything nasty and disgusting; it's especially fun when their enthusiasm for the "ick factor" drives parents, teachers, and any adult in sight to distraction. Now youngsters can indulge their lust for the foul with 50 wonderfully repulsive projects (illustrated in color for that extra POW!). The repellent journey starts with the stinky, scaly, slimy side of the human body. Children will meet the critters that live under their skin and fingernails, learn what causes those embarrassing sounds and smells, and make (very convincing) fake blood to throw Mom into a panic. They'll cook up impressively scary gangrene fingers from marzipan; whip up "booger bath," and grow a gross mold garden. To end this salute to the truly nauseating, there is a special "You're Gross and You're Proud!" celebration.

Flood and Coastal Erosion Risk Management

A Manual for Economic Appraisal

By: Edmund Penning-Rowsell,Sally Priest,Dennis Parker,Joe Morris,Sylvia Tunstall,Christophe Viavattene,John Chatterton,Damon Owen

A new ‘Multi-Coloured Manual' This book is a successor to and replacement for the highly respected manual and handbook on the benefits of flood and coastal risk management, produced by the Flood Hazard Research Centre at Middlesex University, UK, with support from Defra and the Environment Agency. It builds upon a previous book known as the "multi-coloured manual" (2005), which itself was a synthesis of the blue (1977), red (1987) and yellow manuals (1992). As such it expands and updates this work, to provide a manual of assessment techniques of flood risk management benefits, indirect benefits, and coastal erosion risk management benefits. It has three key aims. First it provides methods and data which can be used for the practical assessment of schemes and policies. Secondly it describes new research to update the data and improve techniques. Thirdly it explains the limitations and complications of Benefit-Cost Analysis, to guide decision-making on investment in river and coastal risk management schemes.

Implementing Accrual Accounting in the Public Sector

By: Ms.Suzanne Flynn,Delphine Moretti,Joe Cavanagh

This technical note and manual (TNM) explains what accrual accounting means for the public sector and discusses current trends in moving from cash to accrual accounting. It outlines factors governments should consider in preparing for the move and sequencing of the transition. The note recognizes that governments considering accounting reforms will have different starting points across the public sector, different objectives, and varying coverage of the existing financial statements, it therefore recommends that governments consider each of these, and the materiality of stocks, flows and entities outside of government accounts when planning reforms and design the sequencing and stages involved accordingly. Building on international experiences, the note proposes four possible phases for progressively increasing the financial operations reported in the balance sheet and operating statement, with the ultimate aim of including all institutional units under the effective control of government in fiscal reports.

The Power of Strangers

The Benefits of Connecting in a Suspicious World

By: Joe Keohane

A “meticulously researched and buoyantly written” (Esquire) look at what happens when we talk to strangers, and why it affects everything from our own health and well-being to the rise and fall of nations in the tradition of Susan Cain’s Quiet and Yuval Noah Harari’s Sapiens “This lively, searching work makes the case that welcoming ‘others’ isn’t just the bedrock of civilization, it’s the surest path to the best of what life has to offer.”—Ayad Akhtar, Pulitzer Prize–winning author of Homeland Elegies In our cities, we stand in silence at the pharmacy and in check-out lines at the grocery store, distracted by our phones, barely acknowledging one another, even as rates of loneliness skyrocket. Online, we retreat into ideological silos reinforced by algorithms designed to serve us only familiar ideas and like-minded users. In our politics, we are increasingly consumed by a fear of people we’ve never met. But what if strangers—so often blamed for our most pressing political, social, and personal problems—are actually the solution? In The Power of Strangers, Joe Keohane sets out on a journey to discover what happens when we bridge the distance between us and people we don’t know. He learns that while we’re wired to sometimes fear, distrust, and even hate strangers, people and societies that have learned to connect with strangers benefit immensely. Digging into a growing body of cutting-edge research on the surprising social and psychological benefits that come from talking to strangers, Keohane finds that even passing interactions can enhance empathy, happiness, and cognitive development, ease loneliness and isolation, and root us in the world, deepening our sense of belonging. And all the while, Keohane gathers practical tips from experts on how to talk to strangers, and tries them out himself in the wild, to awkward, entertaining, and frequently poignant effect. Warm, witty, erudite, and profound, equal parts sweeping history and self-help journey, this deeply researched book will inspire readers to see everything—from major geopolitical shifts to trips to the corner store—in an entirely new light, showing them that talking to strangers isn’t just a way to live; it’s a way to survive.

Confronting the Enemy

The Final Chapter Series

By: Joe McNeil

Once again Michael Sloan is called back into action with his partner Mark Dillingham, this time it is to assist a young agent, Cheri Ferguson complete her mission and prevent her from being killed. After being attacked at Mike’s cabin, our trio barely escaped with their lives. Intent on completing Cheri’s original mission the team planned their attack... I did as I was told; when the car came up the lane I placed a round into the driver and watched for anyone to attempt to escape from the vehicle. Mark approached the vehicle with a pistol in both hands and despite all the bullets that were being fired in his direction he systematically eliminated everyone else inside the car. He looked like John Wayne in one of his war movies, being hailed by bullets and not flinching. When the mission was over I asked, “Are you crazy, weren’t you afraid that one of those thousands of bullets were going to hit you?”

Random Notes From A World Gone Wrong

By: Joe Valente

The idea for the book came initially from my research notes/ internal blog ... [which] deals mainly with the changing nature of investment strategy of major global funds, the aftermath of the global financial crisis, the impact of Brexit, the global position of London, the increasingly political nature of global capital flows into the sector and the industry's default position which is one of delusion and a hope against hope for soft landings... These issues are set against a background of just how the real estate capital market has evolved ... from a local and rather dozy industry to one of increasing sophistication. However, the underlying argument is that this apparent shift is superficial despite the hope that, somehow, bankers have learnt from the lessons of the past, that rating agencies and regulators do more than tick boxes, or investors cease their natural tendency to stray from the world they know best." Joe Valente, June 2018 All profits from this book will be donated to Bloodwise.

Ein Stein

A Novel

By: Joe Reich

Elderly Holocaust "survivor" Jack (Yaakov Stein) now lives in Melbourne. After trying to pass off a false testimony to a young Catholic photographer, Ian Gross, he then relents and tells us the truth ... Or does he? With false memoirs all the rage, this is clearly a fictitious story with some real characters, at once highly entertaining and deadly serious. Ernst Leitz II ("the photography industry's Schindler") not only designed and manufactured Germany's most famous camera, the Leica, but also saved hundreds of Jewish lives from certain death during the Holocaust. From the kernel of this true story, Joe Reich weaves an interesting - sometimes outrageous - blend of fact and fiction, historical and contemporary times, drawing the reader into the fictional life and exploits of the protagonist. "Joe has the ability to seamlessly merge history with the present, and create a most readable and enjoyable story." - Nicolas Brasch, author of Gallipoli Reckless Valour "Ein Stein is a real page turner and a terrific read." - Esther Kister, Chairperson Melbourne Jewish Book Week

Modern Medicine in New Mexico

The State Medical Society from 1949 to 2009

By: Michael Joe Dupont

Sixty years ago, modern medicine finally made its way to New Mexico. As World War II wound down, the state was a quaint backwater filled with aging quacks, Grade C medical graduates, and a vest-pocket professional organization. A group of young-gun doctors and an ex-Marine from Oklahoma changed all that. The state boomed with postwar specialists and patients seeking the sun, and the New Mexico Medical Society (NMMS) quarterbacked the sea changes in state health care. At any number of tipping points--physician shortages, malpractice nightmares, and the crisis of managed care--the state Society played a pivotal role. Based upon archival research and extended interviews with more than fifty past presidents of the NMMS, this volume issued in 2010 describes how the New Mexico Chapter of the American Academy of Family Physicians became a national leader on medical-legal matters, clinical prevention, and continuing education. Rich with anecdotal detail, this work uses the careers of physician-leaders as a prism to present the evolution of state medicine from World War II into the new millennium.

My Journey Through Grieving

My Journey Through Grieving

By: Walter Joe Wall

My Journey Through Grieving presents a variety of heartfelt and deeply personal stories by people who have traveled the road of grieving--a journey that we all must take at some point in our lifetime. Whether one grieves a little or a lot is greatly determined by the nature and closeness of the relationship that one shares with another person, and having someone to share the grief struggle with is often very helpful. Tragically, when one loses their closest companion in life, they also lose the one person most equipped to help them through life's hardships, and this only serves to multiply their pain. Reaching out to others can be difficult; but having someone to talk to and share memories with, following a loss, may prove to be the most beneficial thing of all. Sometimes the overwhelming nature of grief is such a heavy burden that professional counseling should be considered. Other times, a person might work through the process with the assistance of family and friends. Either way, the process will require time and personal commitment before the fog of grief will begin to dissipate, and true healing can be realized. How one lives, what they believe, along with the amount of faith they have in themselves, God, and humanity can play a large role in moving forward along grief's journey. Thankfully, God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit will always be there to provide the guidance needed. May this book point you in a direction that will help heal your broken heart.
