Stories Can Save Us: America's Best Narrative Journalists Explain How by Matt Tullis English | June 1, 2024 | ISBN: 0820366757 | True EPUB | 304 pages | 0.4 MB Great journalism relies on a narrative arc to engage and inform the reader. Stories Can Save Us looks at how the best reporters and writers craft narrative literary journalism. Journalist Matt Tullis uses the material he gathered in the more than seventy-five interviews he conducted with the best narrative and literary journalists in the country through his podcast, Gangrey: The Podcast, to show how these professionals conceive and writesuch compelling stories. Through his podcast, Tullis interviewed Pulitzer Prizewinners, National Magazine Awardwinners, and many authors of books of narrative journalism, including New York Times best-selling authors. He also spoke with reporters of different races and backgrounds, styles and strengths―journalists who have been published in the most prestigious newspapers and magazines―to ask: How do they find story ideas? How do they reach out to potential story subjects? What are their interviewstrategies? How do they conduct other information gathering? How do they come up with their amazing and enticing leads? How do they develop story structure? How does the story change in the revision process? How do they make their stories great and make them into the types of stories that people read and talk about for years? Through Tullis's conversations with these top-tier journalists, we are offered a window into their methods and practices as well as the motivations behind great journalism and how it speaks to the cultural climate of its time. Tullis's goal was to expand the power and potential of what amazing reporting and narrative writing can do, believing that it can literally change a reader's mood and, possibly, a reader's life.

Stewards Not Owners: The Joy of Aligning Your Money with Your Faith by Dana Wichterman, Bill Wichterman English | March 11, 2025 | ISBN: 1637633750 | 288 pages | PDF | 2.52 Mb The book Stewards Not Owners goes beyond the traditional Christian concept of tithing-giving 10% of our income-to encourage readers to consider a new paradigm, that everything-our time, talents, treasures, relationships-belong to the Lord, but they are still ours for us to use with joy and creativity. Stewardship is a word we don't hear very often . . . until our church needs to build a new building. But does Scripture say more about stewardship than that? Is there more to managing our money for God's kingdom than we realize? In Stewards Not Owners, Dana and Bill Wichterman challenge conventional views on wealth and giving, encouraging Christ-followers to put all their financial muscles to work for the Lord. Rather than focusing on simply giving away 10 percent of their income, Dana and Bill challenge readers to activate 100 percent of their wealth and wealth-creating potential for kingdom goals. The Wichtermans also reveal: How to incorporate your faith into your financial decisions.Why God calls us to save while cautioning us against hoarding.The need for financial openness and transparency in our faith communities.How faithful Christians are inadvertently funding companies and initiatives that actively work against biblical values.How to creatively use your charitable giving to build Christ-centered businesses.Strategies for aligning your personal wealth-building goals with your heavenly calling to expand God's kingdom. Drawing on years of personal research, relationships, and experience, Dana and Bill also share the inspiring stories of twenty-four individuals who have fully embraced a lifestyle of radical stewardship. Surrendering all your finances to God doesn't have to mean living a dull, joyless, ascetic life. As you'll discover in Stewards Not Owners, you can enjoy God's financial blessings while still using them to expand His kingdom and lead a life of true abundance and eternal significance!

STEM Education in Poverty: Insights from Zimbabwe and Beyond by Brantina Chirinda, Gladys Sunzuma, Perkins Muredzi English | July 16, 2025 | ISBN: 3031924894 | 177 pages | Epub PDF (True) | 9.26 Mb This book is about Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM) education in poverty and the lessons we learn from Zimbabwe. The world is driving towards the fourth Industrial Revolution (4IR), where economic growth has been attributed to STEM education. STEM education is vital in this era, where both developed and developing countries are undergo rapid changes. Globally, STEM education has been practised differently in schools and universities. University programs, new school curricula, instructional methods, extracurricular programs, and professional development programs for in-service teachers have been created to cater to STEM subjects. STEM education is envisioned to produce critical thinkers, inventors, creators, problem solvers, innovators, and professionals who will solve the world's ever-changing challenges, including inequity, food insecurity, climate change, inequality, and poverty. STEM is essential to modern education. Zimbabwe has faced significant economic challenges but has made remarkable strides in STEM education. By examining the successes and challenges of STEM education in Zimbabwe, we can learn valuable lessons about improving STEM education in underserved communities. This book contributes to the international debate surrounding the optimal STEM education for students in underserved schools. It incorporates detailed accounts of STEM education in Zimbabwe schools, shedding light on the challenges students and educators face in impoverished areas. In Zimbabwe, STEM education faces significant challenges such as materials and facilities, pedagogy, policy reform, access, and relevance. Some of the main issues highlighted in this book are the need for more resources, including funding, teaching materials, and adequate laboratories. Effective STEM pedagogy is hampered by an education system that emphasises the curriculum and teacher-centred focus instead of focusing on how students can be taught or learn. Research has shown that in Zimbabwe, STEM teachers must apply inventive pedagogies and suitable learner-centred STEM teaching approaches. As a result, there is a need for more STEM-related programs and courses in schools and universities to improve the opportunities for students to pursue careers in these fields. Another challenge is the need for more awareness about the opportunities and importance of STEM education and interest in STEM subjects among students, which can be attributed to a lack of exposure and understanding of the relevance and importance of these fields in today's world. While lack of resources and other challenges hinder effectiveness, opportunity lies in promising pathways of policy and practice. In Zimbabwe, there is a varying degree of success in the implemented competence-based curriculum, which emphasises inquiry-based learning and STEM education. Finally, there is a need for early exposure to STEM-based career opportunities and for more collaboration between the government, private sector, and educational institutions to address these challenges and promote STEM education in Zimbabwe. This book uses Zimbabwe as an example to explore STEM education in poverty. By examining the successes and challenges of STEM education in Zimbabwe, this book offers valuable insights into how STEM education can be integrated into the curriculum in countries with developing and emerging economies. This book is an essential resource for anyone interested in improving STEM education in underserved communities.

Kulikova English | September 7, 2024 | ISBN: 3031613708 | 819 pages | EPUB | 186 Mb This book addresses the problem of accurate state estimation in nonlinear continuous-time stochastic models with additive noise and discrete measurements. Its main focus is on numerical aspects of computation of the expectation and covariance in Kalman-like filters rather than on statistical properties determining a model of the system state. Nevertheless, it provides the sound theoretical background and covers all contemporary state estimation techniques beginning at the celebrated Kalman filter, including its versions extended to nonlinear stochastic models, and till the most advanced universal Gaussian filters with deterministically sampled mean and covariance. In particular, the authors demonstrate that, when applying such filtering procedures to stochastic models with strong nonlinearities, the use of adaptive ordinary differential equation solvers with automatic local and global error control facilities allows the discretization error―and consequently the state estimation error―to be reduced considerably. For achieving that, the variable-stepsize methods with automatic error regulation and stepsize selection mechanisms are applied to treating moment differential equations arisen. The implemented discretization error reduction makes the self-adaptive nonlinear Gaussian filtering algorithms more suitable for application and leads to the novel notion of accurate state estimation. The book also discusses accurate state estimation in mathematical models with sparse measurements. Of special interest in this regard, it provides a means for treating stiff stochastic systems, which often encountered in applied science and engineering, being exemplified by the Van der Pol oscillator in electrical engineering and the Oregonator model of chemical kinetics. Square-root implementations of all Kalman-like filters considered and explored in this book for state estimation in Ill-conditioned continuous-discrete stochastic systems attract the authors' particular attention. This book covers both theoretical and applied aspects of numerical integration methods, including the concepts of approximation, convergence, stiffness as well as of local and global errors, suitably for applied scientists and engineers. Such methods serve as a basis for the development of accurate continuous-discrete extended, unscented, cubature and many other Kalman filtering algorithms, including the universal Gaussian methods with deterministically sampled expectation and covariance as well as their mixed-type versions. The state estimation procedures in this book are presented in the fashion of complete pseudo-codes, which are ready for implementation and use in MATLAB® or in any other computation platform. These are examined numerically and shown to outperform traditional variants of the Kalman-like filters in practical prediction/filtering tasks, including state estimations of stiff and/or ill-conditioned continuous-discrete nonlinear stochastic systems.

Starstruck - How I Magically Transformed Chicago into Hollywood for More Than Fifty Years by Michael Kutza, David Robinson English | July 25, 2022 | ISBN: 1629339571 | 232 pages | MOBI | 18 Mb "For many of us, Michael Kutza brought the great city of Chicago to life with his infectious love of film." - Oliver Stone, Oscar(R)-winning director of Platoon, JFK, and Born on the Fourth of July "Michael is the real deal. He has heart, a great sense of humor, and he loves films for all the right reasons. I am blessed to call him a friend." - Sophia Loren, Oscar(R) winner and legendary star of Two Women, Marriage Italian Style, and A Special Day "Michael Kutza has that rare combination of talent and guts. He put his own reputation on the line by showcasing new talent at the Chicago Film Festival before they had been anointed by the Hollywood establishment." - Taylor Hackford, Oscar(R) winner and director of Ray, White Nights, and An Officer and a Gentleman "Michael Kutza, through his passion, creativity, and love of cinema, brought the world to Chicago and Chicago to the world." - Andrew Davis, director of The Fugitive, Collateral Damage, and A Perfect Murder Long before there was SUNDANCE, TRIBECA, and TORONTO, there was CHICAGO and a young kid from Chicago's West Side named Michael Kutza. He decided that his city needed to see what it was missing around the world in international cinema and the glamor of Hollywood. So, the founded the Chicago International Film Festival in 1964, with the help of silent screen star Colleen Moore and legendary film director King Vidor. What followed was a roller-coaster ride that lasted for better than half a century, with Kutza presiding over a gathering that throughout the decades hosted a veritable Who's Who of the film world - from Harold Lloyd to Clint Eastwood, Bette Davis to Viola Davis, Steven Spielberg to Spike Lee, Guillermo del Toro to Jodie Foster, Lauren Bacall to Al Pacino. At the same time, the festival introduced a plethora of new talent that would go on to revolutionize the movie business, from Martin Scorsese on. Starstruck: How I Magically Transformed Chicago into Hollywood for More Than Fifty Years is Kutza's rollicking, provocative, racy, colorful, irreverent show business memoir culled from his decades rubbing elbows with the giants of film at both the Chicago Festival and numerous other festivals around the globe. It includes many of the lowlights as well as the highlights of a life lived just off-screen. Michael Kutza is a graphic designer, filmmaker, film critic and podcast co-host who founded the Chicago International Film Festival in the mid-1960s. He ran the festival and served as its artistic director until stepping down in 2018. Kutza remains CEO Emeritus of Cinema/Chicago and the Chicago International Film Festival.

Stan and Gus: Art, Ardor, and the Friendship That Built the Gilded Age by Henry Wiencek English | July 22, 2025 | ISBN: 0374162492, 9780374713256 | True EPUB | 320 pages | 16.6 MB How the architect Stanford White and the sculptor Augustus Saint-Gaudens transcended scandal to enrich their times. Stanford White was a louche man-about-town and a canny cultural entrepreneur―the creator of landmark buildings that elevated American architecture to new heights. Augustus Saint-Gaudens was the son of an immigrant shoemaker, a moody introvert, and a committed procrastinator whose painstaking work brought emotional depth to American sculpture. They met when Stan was walking down the street and heard Gus whistling Mozart in his studio. They pursued their own careers in Italy and France, then came together again in New York, where they maintained an intimate friendship and partnership that defined the art of the Gilded Age. Over the course of decades, White would help sustain his friend's troubled spirits and vouch for Saint-Gaudens when he failed to complete projects. Meanwhile, Saint-Gaudens would challenge White to take his artistic gifts seriously―and so it went amid brilliant commissions and sordid debaucheries all the way to White's sensational murder by an enraged husband in 1906. In Stan and Gus, the acclaimed historian Henry Wiencek sets the two men's relationship within the larger story of the American Renaissance, where millionaires' commissions and delusions of grandeur collided with secret upper-class clubs, new aesthetic ideas, and two ambitious young men to yield work of lasting beauty.

Staggering Pacific: Book 4 of the Pacific Alternate Series by Max Lamirande English | October 1, 2022 | ISBN: N/A | ASIN: B0B8TRV7JJ | 254 pages | EPUB | 0.79 Mb The year is 1942. The war rages all across the Pacific theater. Battles have been fought from the Hawaiian Islands to the city of Kunming in China, in Australia, and in New Guinea. Cities have been destroyed, raided, and many areas lie in ruins. Large naval battles have been fought, and dozens upon dozens of ships have been sunk to the bottom. Imperial Japan reigns supreme everywhere. The Allies are almost out of ships. But America has not yet given up on ultimate victory. Its factories are producing ships at a never before seen speed. Large fleets will soon roam the seas. And in the meantime, the outmatched Allied forces resist and fight back everywhere-Australia, New Guinea, the Solomons Islands, the U.S. West Coast even. And Imperial Japan tries its best to destroy them. As November 1942 opens, the fight is brought to the remote islands of Guadalcanal and Tahiti. The U.S. Navy sends its beleaguered (and outnumbered) ships southward while Yamamoto is anchored with most of its naval strength in Oahu. More ships soon arrive from Japan as the Grand Admiral is bound to reinforce Admiral Inoue's 2nd Fleet in the face of the enemy surge. The Empire cannot afford to lose the Solomon Islands and the South Seas. As both fleets converge, another large naval battle looms. And it won't take long for the Japanese Grand Admiral to realize that the U.S. West Coast is open to attack, as most of its ships are gone to fight elsewhere. In the middle of it all, war heroes fight the battles that will decide victory. A brave Japanese destroyer captain, soldiers on the ground in Guadalcanal and China, a reckless American Submarine captain, and both a Japanese and a U.S. aces fight other planes in the sky above for mastery of the air. This is the story of the Second World War in the Pacific [b]Uploady[/b] https://uploady.io/8ftuj7ojzvwr/cqydm.7z RapidGator https://rg.to/file/a65c1fb7fa27275a55d7478eb58cda66/cqydm.7z.html [b]UploadCloud[/b] https://www.uploadcloud.pro/4rii6aprv623/cqydm.7z.html Fikper https://fikper.com/AoGtuKbfdq/cqydm.7z.html
