| zillionaire meaning: Teachings from the 52nd Kopan Meditation Course: Lamrim Teachings from Kopan 2019 Lama Zopa Rinpoche, 2024-11-21 At the fifty-second Kopan course, the one-month intensive lamrim course given each year at Kopan Monastery, Kathmandu, Lama Zopa Rinpoche uses the wonderful verse, A star, a defective view, a butter lamp flame… to explore in great depth and with great clarity how the cause of all our problems stems from misreading reality. This was just before COVID19 hit and the world went into lockdown for two years, which Rinpoche used to give daily thought transformation teachings from Kopan, with the aid of an ever-increasing number of soft toys. Here, however, his main emphasis is on emptiness. Using the wonderful verse, A star, a defective view, a butter lamp flame… over several days he explores how the cause of all our problems stems from misreading reality. Rinpoche, a master at teaching emptiness, does so here in great depth and with great clarity. The Kopan courses began in April 1971 with a ten-day program attended by about a dozen people. From these early beginnings, the Kopan courses evolved to become an annual event with over two hundred attendees from all over the world. Kopan Monastery is the heart of the FPMT, the international organization founded by Lama Yeshe and Lama Zopa Rinpoche to preserve and spread Mahayana Buddhism worldwide. The Kopan meditation courses were life-changing for countless students, and this is where many students met the Lamas, received teachings and became Buddhist. |

| zillionaire meaning: The Myth and Propaganda of Black Buying Power Jared A. Ball, 2020-04-01 This Palgrave Pivot offers a history of and proof against claims of buying power and the impact this myth has had on understanding media, race, class and economics in the United States. For generations Black people have been told they have what is now said to be more than one trillion dollars of buying power, and this book argues that commentators have misused this claim largely to blame Black communities for their own poverty based on squandered economic opportunity. This book exposes the claim as both a marketing strategy and myth, while also showing how that myth functions simultaneously as a case study for propaganda and commercial media coverage of economics. In sum, while “buying power” is indeed an economic and marketing phrase applied to any number of racial, ethnic, religious, gender, age or group of consumers, it has a specific application to Black America. |

| zillionaire meaning: The Accidental Zillionaire Laura Rich, 2003-01-17 The first in-depth look at one of the world's richest-and most secretive-businessmen Though his wealth is certainly no secret, the world's fourth richest man remains an enigma. Paul Allen made his fortune as Bill Gates's partner in Microsoft, supplemented it with questionable, though often profitable, venture capital schemes, and has since invested his wealth in a widely divergent list of interests. He owns the NBA's Portland Trailblazers and the NFL's Seattle Seahawks. Among hundreds of smaller ventures, he is a primary stakeholder in the film production company DreamWorks SKG and formerly held a large piece of the widely despised Ticketmaster monopoly. Dubbed the Accidental Zillionaire by Wired magazine, Allen has often appeared to be a bumbler who succeeded primarily through luck and by coopting the visionary ideas of others. In The Accidental Zillionaire, Laura Rich, one of the foremost chroniclers of the Internet economy, unravels the secret Paul Allen, his inner motivations, his vision, and his personality. She tells Allen's story from his days as a fledgling computer geek in suburban Washington state, to his role in founding the world's largest software company, to his battle with cancer, to his sycophantic flirtation with Hollywood and its brightest stars. Paul Allen is a man of various interests and passions, but few if any know him well. The Accidental Zillionaire for the first time reveals the inner workings of a towering figure in the worlds of technology, business, sports, and entertainment. Laura Rich (Los Angeles, CA) is a former writer for The Industry Standard, Adweek, and Inside Media. She currently covers the world of digital entertainment for Entertainment Weekly, Fortune, and The Hollywood Reporter. She penned The Standard's popular Rich List report and has reported on Paul Allen for years. |

| zillionaire meaning: The Progress Paradox Gregg Easterbrook, 2004-11-09 In The Progress Paradox, Gregg Easterbrook draws upon three decades of wide-ranging research and thinking to make the persuasive assertion that almost all aspects of Western life have vastly improved in the past century–and yet today, most men and women feel less happy than in previous generations. Detailing the emerging science of “positive psychology,” which seeks to understand what causes a person’s sense of well-being, Easterbrook offers an alternative to our culture of crisis and complaint. He makes a compelling case that optimism, gratitude, and acts of forgiveness not only make modern life more fulfilling but are actually in our self-interest. An affirming and constructive way of seeing life anew, The Progress Paradox will change the way you think about your place in the world–and about our collective ability to make it better. |
| zillionaire meaning: Twentieth Century Words John Ayto, 1999 In Twentieth Century Words, lexicographer John Ayto takes us on an exhilarating tour of our century, charting it decade by decade by way of the words we've coined to mark our passage through time. Ayto looks at some 5,000 words and meanings, from flapper to flower power to road rage. We learn the birth dates of words such as movie (1910s), barbecue (1930s), Beatlemania (1960s), and foodie (1980s). Ayto also treats us to many surprises as well. Did you know, for instance, that atomic energy was coined in the 1900s, rocket ship in the 1920s, hologram in the '40s, and modem in the '50s? And in addition to the main alphabetic sequence of entries, the book also offers boxed features on topics of special interest, such as words arising from World War II (bazooka, jeep, bikini). With a thoughtful essay to introduce each decade, and thousands of evocative words and phrases, Twentieth Century Words will enthrall all word lovers as it opens a unique window on the last one hundred years. |

| zillionaire meaning: Going Into Town Roz Chast, 2017-10-03 Washington Post 10 Best Graphic Novels of the Year New York Magazine The Year’s Most Giftable Coffee Table Books Newsday Best Fall Books The Verge The Ten Best Comics of the Year An Indie Next Pick Winner of the New York City Book Award From the #1 NYT bestselling author of Can’t We Talk About Something More Pleasant?, Roz Chast, an absolutely laugh-out-loud hysterical (AP) illustrated ode/guide/thank-you to Manhattan. New Yorker cartoonist and NYT bestselling author Roz Chast, native Brooklynite-turned-suburban commuter deemed the quintessential New Yorker, has always been intensely alive to the glorious spectacle that is Manhattan--the daily clash of sidewalk racers and dawdlers; the fascinating range of dress codes; and the priceless, nutty outbursts of souls from all walks of life. For Chast, adjusting to life outside the city was surreal--(you can own trees!? you have to drive!?)--but she recognized that the reverse was true for her kids. On trips into town, they would marvel at the strange visual world of Manhattan--its blackened sidewalk gum-wads, those West Side Story-things (fire escapes)--and its crazily honeycombed systems and grids. Told through Chast’s singularly zany, laugh-out-loud, touching, and true cartoons, Going Into Town is part New York stories (the overheard and overseen of the island borough), part personal and practical guide to walking, talking, renting, and venting--an irresistible, one-of-a-kind love letter to the city. |

Illustrated Ian Fleming, 2022-12-12 Ian Lancaster Fleming was a British writer who is best known for his postwar James Bond series of spy novels. While working for Britain's Naval Intelligence Division during the Second World War, Fleming was involved in planning Operation Goldeneye and in the planning and oversight of two intelligence units, 30 Assault Unit and T-Force. He drew from his wartime service and his career as a journalist for much of the background, detail, and depth of his James Bond novels. The Bond books were written in post-war Britain, when the country was still an imperial power. As the series progressed, the British Empire was in decline; journalist William Cook observed that Bond pandered to Britain's inflated and increasingly insecure self-image, flattering us with the fantasy that Britannia could still punch above her weight. The books should be read in publication order. The exception is book 10 - The Spy Who Loved Me which is best read out of sequence, earlier or later in the series, so as not to break up the main sequence of 9 - Thunderball, 11 - On Her Majesty's Secret Service, 12 - You Only Live Twice, and 13 - The Man With the Golden Gun which MUST be read in that order. 2 - Live and Let Die must be read before 6 - Doctor No. Casino Royale Live and Let Die Moonraker Diamonds Are Forever From Russia, with Love Dr. No Goldfinger Thunderball The Spy Who Loved Me On Her Majesty's Secret Service You Only Live Twice The Man with the Golden Gun For Your Eyes Only Octopussy and The Living Daylights |
| zillionaire meaning: Goldfinger: A James Bond Novel | A Spy Thriller Ian Fleming, 2025-05-09 Auric Goldfinger is not just the richest man in England—he’s one of the most dangerous men James Bond has ever encountered. When Bond is sent to investigate Goldfinger’s suspicious activities, he quickly uncovers a web of smuggling, high-stakes cheating, and a plan so audacious it could bring the world’s economy to its knees. From a deadly car chase to a chilling showdown inside Fort Knox, Goldfinger is a thrilling rollercoaster of espionage, seduction, and villainy. And at the heart of it all is the enigmatic Pussy Galore, a woman who may be more than a match for 007. Can Bond stop Operation Grand Slam before millions are lost and chaos erupts? Or will Goldfinger prove to be his most lethal adversary yet? |
