| bummer ceo: No Justice for Dean Dennis Francione, 2019-04-12 Why do so many educators leave the profession defeated and deflated after years of tirelessly advocating for students?

| bummer ceo: Brenda Laurel Carly A. Kocurek, 2017-02-09 Brenda Laurel is best known for her work with Purple Moon, the pioneering game company she cofounded in the 1990s. Purple Moon's games were based on years of research Laurel completed in an effort to understand why computer games seemed to be of so little interest to girls. Using diverse archival sources such as trade journals, newspapers, and recorded interviews, alongside Laurel's completed games and own writings and an original interview with Laurel herself, this volume offers insight into both the early development of the games for girls movement of the 1990s and the lasting impact of Laurel's game design breakthroughs. In her work with Purple Moon, Laurel drew on her background in theatre as well as her expertise in human computer interaction and qualitative research. By relying on this interdisciplinary background, Laurel made significant contributions to our understanding of the design and development of games as a medium for emotional rehearsal and storytelling. Additionally, her dedication to research-informed design has had a longstanding impact as companies and designers increasingly rely on audience research and metrics to shape their practices. The newest in Bloomsbury's Influential Video Game Designers series, Carly Kocurek highlights the contributions of a designer whose work has had a profound impact on the development of both games for girls and empathy games. |

| bummer ceo: Ten Arguments for Deleting Your Social Media Accounts Right Now Jaron Lanier, 2018-05-29 AS SEEN IN THE NETFLIX DOCUMENTARY THE SOCIAL DILEMMA A WIRED ALL-TIME FAVORITE BOOK A FINANCIAL TIMES BEST BOOK THE CONSCIENCE OF SILICON VALLEY- GQ “Profound . . . Lanier shows the tactical value of appealing to the conscience of the individual. In the face of his earnest argument, I felt a piercing shame about my own presence on Facebook. I heeded his plea and deleted my account.” - Franklin Foer, The New York Times Book Review “Mixes prophetic wisdom with a simple practicality . . . Essential reading.” - The New York Times (Summer Reading Preview) You might have trouble imagining life without your social media accounts, but virtual reality pioneer Jaron Lanier insists that we’re better off without them. In Ten Arguments for Deleting Your Social Media Accounts Right Now, Lanier, who participates in no social media, offers powerful and personal reasons for all of us to leave these dangerous online platforms. Lanier’s reasons for freeing ourselves from social media’s poisonous grip include its tendency to bring out the worst in us, to make politics terrifying, to trick us with illusions of popularity and success, to twist our relationship with the truth, to disconnect us from other people even as we are more “connected” than ever, to rob us of our free will with relentless targeted ads. How can we remain autonomous in a world where we are under continual surveillance and are constantly being prodded by algorithms run by some of the richest corporations in history that have no way of making money other than being paid to manipulate our behavior? How could the benefits of social media possibly outweigh the catastrophic losses to our personal dignity, happiness, and freedom? Lanier remains a tech optimist, so while demonstrating the evil that rules social media business models today, he also envisions a humanistic setting for social networking that can direct us toward a richer and fuller way of living and connecting with our world. |

| bummer ceo: Garner's Modern American Usage Bryan Garner, 2009-07-28 Since first appearing in 1998, Garner's Modern American Usage has established itself as the preeminent guide to the effective use of the English language. Brimming with witty, erudite essays on troublesome words and phrases, GMAU authoritatively shows how to avoid the countless pitfalls that await unwary writers and speakers whether the issues relate to grammar, punctuation, word choice, or pronunciation. An exciting new feature of this third edition is Garner's Language-Change Index, which registers where each disputed usage in modern English falls on a five-stage continuum from nonacceptability (to the language community as a whole) to acceptability, giving the book a consistent standard throughout. GMAU is the first usage guide ever to incorporate such a language-change index. The judgments are based both on Garner's own original research in linguistic corpora and on his analysis of hundreds of earlier studies. Another first in this edition is the panel of critical readers: 120-plus commentators who have helped Garner reassess and update the text, so that every page has been improved. Bryan A. Garner is a writer, grammarian, lexicographer, teacher, and lawyer. He has written professionally about English usage for more than 28 years, and his work has achieved widespread renown. David Foster Wallace proclaimed that Bryan Garner is a genius and William Safire called the book excellent. In fact, due to the strength of his work on GMAU, Garner was the grammarian asked to write the grammar-and-usage chapter for the venerable Chicago Manual of Style. His advice on language matters is second to none. |

| bummer ceo: The Socrates Method and Other Contemporary Short Stories Rupashree Rangaiyengar, 2020-08-18 Take everything you know about an Indian woman and then throw it away. The women portrayed here are feisty, brave, ambitious and challenge the existing norms. You cannot box them with societal labels and curb their individuality. These women are like you and me aspiring to be extraordinary. These women are like you and me battling everyday oppression. These women are like you and me, not having the perfect answers, but searching for a workable solution. These women are just like you and me, who do not have the benefit of hindsight while making a decision. These women are just like you and me, who face situations that give them no other option than being strong. They are contemporary Indian women who want to have it all, while battling insurmountable challenges. If they are assaulted, they do not rest until they get justice. If they want to find the perfect lover, they do not hesitate to use technology to help them out. If they see an extra-marital affair, they protest. If they face cybercrime, they expose the hacker. If they are cowed down by office politics, they strike back. If they face domestic violence, they act to protect themselves. They convince their parents about their offbeat career choices, all the while starting their own companies. A wise person once said, every fictional story is inspired by true events. |

I denne viktige boken presenterer han kraftige og personlige argumenter for hvorfor vi alle bør være mer bevisst sin aktivitet på nettet. Sosiale medier har en tendens til å bringe frem det verste i oss. Det gjør politikk skremmende, fordreier vårt forhold til sannheten og distanserer oss fra andre mennesker selv om vi har mer «kontakt» med andre enn noen gang før. Hvordan forbli uavhengige i en verden der vi er under kontinuerlig overvåkning og konstant blir stimulert av algoritmer? Jaron Lanier er forsker, musiker og forfatter, og er best kjent for sitt arbeid med virtuell virkelighet og sin kamp for humanisme og bærekraftig økonomi i digital sammenheng. Hans selskap VPL Research, som ble etablert i 1980-årene, utviklet de første kommersielle VR-produktene og introduserte avatarer, opplevelser i virtuelle verdener med flere personer, og prototyper på viktige bruksområder for VR, for eksempel simulert kirurgi. Hans bøker Who Owns the Future? og You Are Not a Gadget ble internasjonale bestselgere, og Dawn of the New Everything ble kåret til årets beste bok av The Wall Street Journal, The Economist og Vox i 2017. |
| bummer ceo: Startup CXO Matt Blumberg, 2021-06-09 One of the greatest challenges for startup teams is scaling because usually there's not a blueprint to follow, people are learning their function as they go, and everyone is wearing multiple hats. There can be lots of trial and error, lots of missteps, and lots of valuable time and money squandered as companies scale. Matt Blumberg and his team understand the scaling challenges—they've been there, and it took them nearly 20 years to scale and achieve a successful exit. Along the way they learned what worked and what didn’t work, and they share their lessons learned in Startup CXO. Unlike other business books, Startup CXO is designed to help each functional leader understand how their function scales, what to anticipate as they scale, and what things to avoid. Beyond providing function-specific advice, tools, and tactics, Startup CXO is a resource for each team member to learn about the other functions, understand other functional challenges, and get greater clarity on how to collaborate effectively with the other functional leads. CEOs, Board members, and investors have a book they can consult to pinpoint areas of weakness and learn how to turn those into strengths. Startup CXO has in-depth chapters covering the nine most common functions in startups: finance, people, marketing, sales, customers, business development, product, operations, and privacy. Each functional section has a CEO to CEO Advice summary from Blumberg on what great looks like for that CXO, signs your CXO isn't scaling, and how to engage with your CXO. Startup CXO also has a section on the future of executive work, fractional and interim roles. Written by leading practitioners in the newly emergent fractional executive world, each function is covered with useful tips on how to be a successful fractional executive as well as what to look for and how to manage fractional executives. Startup CXO is an amazing resource for CEOs but also for functional leaders and professionals at any stage of their career. —Scott Dorsey, Managing Partner, High Alpha |

How does one experience at least six major concussions without any of them being sports related? What’s it like to be the only Protestant principal of a more than one room Roman Catholic school in the province for three years and loving every day of it? During the times of trial in Ontario and Quebec with the terrorist bombings and kidnappings by the FLQ (Front de Liberation de Quebec ) how did this intrepid officer in Her Majesty’s Service more or less, almost, foil an attack upon an active military base? How does one of Santa’s major helpers remember all the children’s names for more than ten years? What’s it like painting the underside of the centre-span of a suspension bridge across a mile of the St. Lawrence River? What’s it like spending a total of two and a half years’ time over a period of twenty years in psychiatric wards across the province and coming out better for the experience? |

| bummer ceo: Knight Light Roger L. Bennett, 2012-03-09 Knight Light is narrated by star-crossed lovers quaintly identified as HE and SHE. He is the author, fate-appointed Knight on a Kings quest. She is the Queen Mother, Virgin Mary in contemporary guise. What they did after their church wedding in 1982 is told in sizzling detail as a Royal romp in the hay. But it wasnt until the Immaculate Conception of 1986 that Roger Bennetts second wife chose to reveal Her eternal self for that ONE night only. Thats when his silver seed was gathered for a mysterious purpose known only to Her and (perhaps, perhaps not) to that Black African race Gods evolutionary plan determined to be first-in and last-out. Afterward his wife vanished, never to be seen or heard from again. Out of respect for the Virgin Mary (not Her earthly name) Bennett waited over two decades before writing the most intimate sexual details of their lives together. But how else to tell this incredible story so readers have the facts on which to form their own conclusions? His respect for Her was further shown by remaining the faithful husband ever since. |
| bummer ceo: Corporatizing American Health Care Robert W. Derlet, 2021-02-02 Tracking the evolution of medical care from an individualized small cottage profession to a giant impersonal corporate industry costing Americans over $3 trillion each year. Over the past three decades, the once-efficient American health care system has evolved into a complex maze of monopolies and a racket of bureaucratic checks, approvals, denials, roadblocks, and detours. This shift has created a massive and at times redundant workforce that frustrates patients, as well as physicians, nurses, and administrative staff. Health care costs the United States over $3 trillion each year and consumes over 18% of the country's gross domestic product. That's more than $11,000 for each person in the country each year—more than double what it costs in most Western European countries to deliver equal or even better care. In Corporatizing American Health Care, Robert W. Derlet, MD, traces the progression of health care policy in the United States. How, he asks, has US health care transformed from bedside medicine—a model of small practices and patient-focused care—into corporate medicine, which prioritizes profit and deals with both patient care and outcomes as billing codes? Arguing that the US Congress is the root of the problem, he describes how Congress has failed to enact legislation to prevent corporate monopolies in the health care industry. Instead, corrupted by large campaign donations and corporate lobbyists, Congress has crafted loopholes benefiting corporations and harming people. Drawing on his decades as a practicing physician caring for thousands of patients, as well as his university and medical school teaching experience, Derlet follows changes to both policy and practice across many sectors of health care. Scrutinizing how hospitals work, he also takes a hard look at high prescription drug prices, unresponsive insurance companies, problems with the Affordable Care Act, the growing medical implant device industry, and even nursing homes. Finally, he explains why the dominance of corporations and their lobbyists over health policy means that we now pay more for our care and our medications but have less choice both in what doctors we see and in what drugs we take. Breaking down the complex ABCs of health care to reveal the unscrupulous practices of the health care industry, Corporatizing American Health Care is perfect for both students and general readers who want to understand the changes in our system from the perspective of an actual doctor. |

Each is (or was) a list maker. These successful people, along with CEOs and successful entrepreneurs, all use lists to keep track of their ideas, thoughts, and tasks. Finding enough hours in the day to get everything accomplished and allow for some downtime can be a struggle. It's no wonder so many of us are stressed, overextended, and exhausted.

| bummer ceo: Just Takes Time C.A. Conklin, 2015-06-08 We all have secrets. That is probably a basic part of being human. For most of us, those secrets are not a big deal; they do not affect other peoples lives. They do not keep you from being you. But what if they did? Author C. A. Conklins Just Takes Time is about secrets, but not simple ones. After Fay Lee Webber witnesses the murder of her husband, she is forced to leave her children and go into witness protection. Life as she had known it was over. Her time is filled with secrets piled upon secrets, destroying her from the inside out. Bordering on despair, Fay rediscovers her faith and finds unconditional love, salvation, and forgiveness through God and others she meets on her journey. Although your secrets may not be as life-changing and life-challenging as Fays, they influence your life. Maybe you feel there is nothing you can do about it; secrets are meant to be kept. Just Takes Time shows what happens when you allow yourself to have faith in God and in special people in your life. |

| bummer ceo: Enough Is Enough Robert Dietz, Daniel W. O'Neill, 2013-01-07 Strategies for transitioning to a steady-state economy that maximizes long-term well-being for all people. We’re overusing the earth’s finite resources, and yet excessive consumption is failing to improve our lives. In Enough Is Enough, Rob Dietz and Dan O’Neill lay out a visionary but realistic alternative to the perpetual pursuit of economic growth—an economy where the goal is not more but enough. They explore specific strategies to conserve natural resources, stabilize population, reduce inequality, fix the financial system, create jobs, and more—all with the aim of maximizing long-term well-being instead of short-term profits. Filled with fresh ideas and surprising optimism, Enough Is Enough is the primer for achieving genuine prosperity and a hopeful future for all. “Humans seem to be intent on confirming the argument of biologist Ernst Mayr that higher intelligence may be a lethal mutation. But the grim prognosis is not inevitable. This lucid, informed, and highly constructive book shows that with the will to act, solutions can be found to build a steady-state economy geared to meeting human needs.”—Noam Chomsky “Rob Dietz and Dan O’Neill bring clarity and style to their impassioned and meticulous analysis, offering the way to a better quality of life and a sustainable future for all.”—Kate Pickett, Professor of Epidemiology, University of York; cofounder, The Equality Trust; and coauthor of The Spirit Level “Dietz and O’Neill create a remarkable vision—a world with enough prosperity and happiness for everyone, not just for a few. This book will restore your hope in the future and give you specific things you can do to help!”—Thom Hartmann, internationally syndicated talk show host and author of twenty-four books |

| bummer ceo: The Historic District Action Guide William E. Schmickle, 2018-05-07 The Historic District Action Guide: From Designation Campaigns to Keeping Districts Vital is a results-oriented, straight-talking guide for local activists, professionals, and preservation commissions committed to winning and maintaining local historic districts. Its political approach focuses on the crucial challenges of gaining and sustaining community and local governmental support for historic district regulations. This how-to guide gives citizens who are fighting to designate a local historic district the political know-how to win the support of fellow residents and city hall. Everything is here: learning to think politically, mastering the political process; planning and strategy; campaign organizing and leadership; framing a practical vision; anticipating and handling the opposition; conducting community meetings; skirmishing with property rightists; managing issues, petitions, and public opinion; dealing with public officials; strategizing for public hearings; and winning the vote for district designation. Once the vote is won, the Action Guide shows how to maintain momentum in their communities once the initial political campaign to win historic preservation designation has faded and the real work of enforcement begins. |
