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. For more information concerning the book and the
importance of international education, contact: Donald Gogniat

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.
