First of the Ealing comedies. A bunch of crooks use a comic paper, featuring stories penned by Felix H. Wilkinson (Alastair Sim), to pass on coded messages for robberies. When the comic's readership, a bunch of East End boys, discover what's going on they go to the police. The local constabulary, however, are no help, and so the plucky lads set out to foil the robbers themselves.

Why "Toothbrush People: American College Students' Personal Experiences with Poverty, Inequalities, Humility, and Kindness" is an Important Book for Students, Parents, and College Administrators As the entire title suggests, this book provides insight into American college students' experiences and reactions to poverty, inequality, humility, and kindness. Almost all of the stories (with the exception of one) are real life encounters students have had with strangers in other countries and cultures. In most cases, how they have internalized the interaction and why it is important to them is described in the narrative. How they have remembered the person and the interaction over time, is a compelling component of the second portion of the book, the 1990 and 2004 letters and stories. While reading these stories, appreciate the relevance of an international educational experience as part of a college degree program. This book depicts only one memory from their adventures abroad. Undoubtedly there have been a multitude of such encounters throughout the semester. These experiences prepare a person to be able to both better understand and fit into a globalized world. We will benefit as a country if our future leaders meet and interact with people from many countries and many cultures. Unfortunately these students are far from typical. From a 2010 report prepared by the Institute of International Education, they state: "Just over one percent of all U.S. students enrolled in U.S. higher education at any academic level typically study abroad during any single academic year. Among students pursuing Bachelor's degrees, about 14 percent study abroad at some point during their undergraduate programs." This book will encourage students, parents, faculty, and administrators to support and promote education abroad programs. Perhaps a new set of expectations for our college graduates (at least those who intend to lead their chosen fields) is in order. For example, not only critical thinking, team building, communication skills, and solid ethics are needed, but a global perspective may be the deciding factor for hiring a recent graduate. To gain such a perspective, students may want to consider adapting "new global strategies." For starters, here are a few recommendations: Never let your age get larger than the number of countries you have explored. Volunteer to work in a culture different from your own. Learn to think through what life would be like in their shoes. Learn both good and bad lessons from the cultures that you have explored. Learn how to implement these good lessons into your personal and/or work life. If you are a parent or grandparent, help your kids with these recommendations. Take them on a trip; pay for a trip; volunteer with them. Start getting them to "think globally." It is a very good investment in their future happiness.

Reach Into My Darkness is a collection of spokenword poetry and poems that delve into teen violence, street life, education and other day to day issues that impact students. The goal of this book is to provide teachers with additional tools to connect with and empower their students to express themselves in a positive way through poetry. This is not a book about happy endings. This is a reflection of struggles that can silence a child forever.

What kind of first impression do you make? A first impression is the most important impression you'll ever make--and you get only one chance to make it. Business deals can be made or broken, first dates become second dates or not, friendships are created or fail to form; everything hinges on that all-important initial encounter. And yet most of us don't know how we're really seen by others. Many of us don't know how to make a good impression.
Wouldn't you like others to see you as confident, interesting, attractive, and sincere? Ann Demarais, Ph.D., and Valerie White, Ph.D., consultants to many Fortune 100 companies as well as creators of First Impressions, Inc., a New York-based dating and consulting firm, offer you the keys to putting your best self forward in any new situation, whether you want to strike up a conversation at a party or are meeting a blind date or a new business client.
You'll learn to see yourself as others see you, and how to tweak your style to create the impression that reflects the real you. Breaking down a successful first impression into its seven fundamentals, the authors show you how to master these principles so that you can make the best first impression. They also show how to avoid common misunderstandings that leave others with a bad impression, how to reveal the four universal social gifts, and they outline practical steps you can take to enhance your personal charm.
Informative and filled with enlightening research studies, do-it-yourself checklist reviews, and dozens of helpful case histories, First Impressions is a fun, groundbreaking, and long-overdue guide to the most important moment of virtually any relationship: the first.
