    So Real It Hurts is the perfect title for this collection. It's a mission statement. A few bleeding slices straight from the butcher shop. A sampler from an enormous archive of work that will, no doubt, be pored over by grad students, book lovers, film historians, music nerds, and straight-up perverts a hundred years from now. (Anthony Bourdain, from the Introduction)  Through personal essays and interviews, punk musician and cultural icon Lydia Lunch claws and rakes at the listener's conscience in this powerful, uninhibited feminist collection. Oscillating between provocative celebrations of her own defiant nature and nearly-tender ruminations on the debilitating effects of poverty, abuse, and environmental pollution, along with a visceral revenge fantasy against misogynistic men, Lydia Lunch presents her exploits without apology, daring the listener to judge her while she details the traumas and trials that have shaped her into the legendary figure she's become.  Inserted between these biting personal essays, Lunch's thoughtful cultural insights convey a widely-shared desire to forestall inevitable cultural amnesia and solidify a legacy for her predecessors and peers. Her interview with Hubert Selby Jr., and profile of Herbert Hunke, her short unromanticized histories of No Wave and of the late 60s, and her scathing examination of the monetization of counterculture (thanks, Vivienne Westwood!) all serve to reinforce the notion that, while it may appear that there are no more heroes, we are actually just looking for heroes in the wrong places. The worthy idols of the past have been obscured by more profitable historical narratives, but Lunch challenges us to dig deeper.  So Real It Hurts pulls the listener into a world that is entirely hers - one in which she exacts vengeance against predators with an enviable ease and exerts an almost-sexual dominance over authority, never permitting those with power to hold on to it too ungekürzt.

    Do you want to learn the keys to improving your defensive game? Or looking for ways to solidify your team's defense?This audiobook is your answer.As was said by a great soccer manager, "Offense wins games; defense wins titles." This is the case with every level of the professional and amateur game in all countries across the globe.Although there is a correlation between scoring the most goals and winning leagues, it does not seem to be quite as strong as having a watertight defense.So, we might conclude that while scoring goals thrills the crowd and helps a team to win, to be a champion, it is even more important that the defense is as strong as it can possibly be.We hope that we have made our case. Defense is key to a team’s success. But there is another important reason for this coaching audiobook on a team’s defensive unit. We can coach attacking play; set moves, individual skills, and so forth can all help a team to create and score chances. However, goals often result from a touch of magic. The 30-yard screaming shot, the piece of dribbling brilliance, the through pass hit with precision and vision. These are hard attributes to train. Or they can result from an error by the opposition. A mishit clearance, a goalkeeping mistake, a positional defect or communication lapse.Consistent training and coaching can make a bigger impact with defense than can be with offensive players. Movement that becomes second nature, knowledge, technique, experience, and positional awareness - allied to teamwork and communication - these are the elements that come together to produce a defense hard to breach. They are all factors which the coach can improve with their team through drills and team and individual coaching.It is true, if not often said, that attackers thrill the crowd while defenders win matches, at whatever level we play the game, from professional to Under 10 teams playing on a Sunday morning. ungekürzt.

    Are you new to project management or looking to solidify your understanding of the agile project management? Then this is just the book you have been looking for! The book was carefully written to help you gain a solid understanding of the fundamental concepts of agile project management that have evolved as the new backbone of the software development life cycle. To make software development projects more flexible with high efficiency, the agile project management was introduced in the last decade and has quickly evolved as the new industry standard for project management. Some of the giants of Silicon Valley, such as Apple, Google, and Facebook, have become the epitome of how agile practices should be applied to efficiently deliver high quality software solutions in a short period of time. Think of agile method as one project containing smaller projects within itself containing a backlog of requirements that need to be implemented, tested, and deployed within the predefined scope of the project. Nearly every company today claims that they are agile without substantially utilizing the true agile values and principles, so it is critical to have a solid understanding of these principles. The flexibility and versatility offered by the agile framework allow it to be used for day to day operations and functioning of non-technical teams just as effectively. The truly agile development teams tend to grow rapidly due to the growing success of agile practices and the increasing demands of the customers. As a result, the need to implement agile methodologies on a larger scale would also increase. This book will help you gain a thorough understanding of the project management methodologies focused on the agile framework and provide you some of the most frequently used programming practices that help to improve software quality, usability, and longevity. Here are some of the highlights of this book:Learn the five different phases of s ungekürzt.

    The Visual System of Work: Help Your Business Work Better, Make Money and Generate Cash: A 90 Day Implementation Guide. Included with this audiobook is a PDF file of the full text version.Over the past 25 years, more than 100 companies that were failing, not making enough money, or simply struggling to achieve their true potential, turned to David Lord to learn how to make their businesses work better, make more money, and generate additional cash. David showed them how to transform their businesses’ systems of work into visual ones, resulting in improved employee involvement, quality, productivity, and profitability. Now, David’s audiobook shows exactly what he does to change struggling businesses into thriving ones, by employing the "Visual System of Work". Using a 90-day implementation guide, the author gives practical, step-by-step instructions about how to make the work processes of a business visible, beginning with the collection of concrete data about how a business actually operates in the present time (rather than relying on peoples’ perceptions) and ending with ways to review, maintain, and continuously improve the business’ (now newly transformed and invigorated) visual system of work. In between, the author walks you through each step of clear-cut exercises and assessments designed to revolutionize, revitalize, and transform a business. Directives include how to solidify core values, identify key Lead and Lag measures, set up a “war room” and communicate information throughout the organization. David provides eight practical tools for helping a business get better including a "Strategic Planning Sheet", a "System of Work Diagram", a "Scoreboard Sheet" and (2) "Time Management Sheets".The “7-Step Process of Improving Throughput Performance” helps businesses define and solve problems by identifying constraints (“slowdowns”) within the flow of work. Once constraints are recognized, the reasons for them (“interferences”) c ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Jordan Byrne.

    As we learn about how our subconscious beliefs affect our actions, the more we understand why racism has endured over the last 250 years.Most of us know that our history is plagued by atrocious acts of slavery, racism, and discrimination. What many people don’t fully consider is the perpetuation of subconscious beliefs about race. This belief that racial discrimination is acceptable has been handed down in our culture from one generation to another. The unchecked spread of racism serves only to corrupt the human rights of all racialized people.At this point in human history, the ugliness and disproportionate views about race and privilege have become a rallying cry for people striving for change in institutionalized systems such as policing, politics, and the law. These people are opposed, often violently, by racial zealots who feel entitled to resist the need for racial equality and justice.Civility has taken a back seat to verbal attacks, violence, and defamation of character and property.Attempts to solidify white power and dominance are seen daily, not only in the news, but in our own neighborhoods and communities.Isn’t it time to end these horrific and narrow-minded thoughts and acts once and for all? Yes, it is! Can’t we educate ourselves and others? Can’t we communicate our goals of ending racism and be heard? Can’t we establish true freedom for all people, everywhere? Yes, we can!This won’t be easy, and it won’t happen fast. By learning about the roots of racism and the evils of slavery, resisting conformity, and liberating our minds, we can travel the road of social responsibility. We can enlighten ourselves and others about how to resist and overcome racism and discrimination in our lives, our community, and our world. Let’s move forward and build a peaceful and cohesive community together. We can abolish racism. We can learn to live free of racial bias.We can build a wor ungekürzt. Language: English.
