| extreme math my drive: No Time for Fear Dianne Siebens, 2022-04-26 My first brush with death was at birth, having entered the world as a “Code Blue Baby.” In all my thrilling adventures over the years, I have been confronted by grizzly bears, pushed off a cliff, and fallen into deadly bogs, but my brush with death in an avalanche while helicopter skiing was certainly the most profound. Being brought back from death was a miracle that changed my life in so many ways. It taught me to live in the moment with gratitude, love, appreciation, and with no time for fear. “No Time For Fear” is my personal account of adventures, discoveries, and lessons I have learned. I hope this book will leave you laughing, thinking positively, and grateful for everything life sends your way. |

| extreme math my drive: Polite Lies Kyoko Mori, 2011-04-01 Twelve essays by a Japanese-American writer about being caught between past and present, old country and new. In this powerful, exquisitely crafted book, Kyoko Mori delves into her dual heritage with a rare honesty that is both graceful and stirring. From her unhappy childhood in Japan, weighted by a troubled family and a constricting culture, to the American Midwest, where she found herself free to speak as a strong-minded independent woman, though still an outsider, Mori explores the different codes of silence, deference, and expression that govern Japanese and American women's lives: the ties that bind us to family and the lies that keep us apart; the rituals of mourning that give us the courage to accept death; the images of the body that make sex seem foreign to Japanese women and second nature to Americans. In the sensitive hands of this compelling writer, one woman's life becomes the mirror of two profoundly different societies. |

| extreme math my drive: An Ocean of Wonder ku‘ualoha ho‘omanawanui, Joyce Pualani Warren, Cristina Bacchilega, 2024-04-30 An Ocean of Wonder: The Fantastic in the Pacific brings together fifty writers and artists from across Moananuiākea working in myriad genres across media, ranging from oral narratives and traditional wonder tales to creative writing as well as visual artwork and scholarly essays. Collectively, this anthology features the fantastic as present-day Indigenous Pacific world-building that looks to the past in creating alternative futures, and in so doing reimagines relationships between peoples, environments, deities, nonhuman relatives, history, dreams, and storytelling. Wonder is activated by curiosity, humility in the face of mystery, and engagement with possibilities. We see wonder and the fantastic as general modes of expression that are not confined to realism. As such, the fantastic encompasses fantasy, science fiction, magic realism, fabulation, horror, fairy tale, utopia, dystopia, and speculative fiction. We include Black, feminist, and queer futurisms, Indigenous wonderworks, Hawaiian moʻolelo kamahaʻo and moʻolelo āiwaiwa, Sāmoan fāgogo, and other non-mimetic genres from specific cultures, because we recognize that their refusal to adopt restrictive Euro-American definitions of reality is what inspires and enables the fantastic to flourish. As artistic, intellectual, and culturally based expressions that encode and embody Indigenous knowledge, the multimodal moʻolelo in this collection upend monolithic, often exoticizing, and demeaning stereotypes of the Pacific and situate themselves in conversation with critical understandings of the global fantastic, Indigenous futurities, social justice, and decolonial and activist storytelling. In this collection, Oceanic ideas and images surround and connect to Hawaiʻi, which is for the three coeditors, a piko (center); at the same time, navigating both juxtaposition and association, the collection seeks to articulate pilina (relationships) across genres, locations, time, and media and to celebrate the multiplicity and relationality of the fantastic in Oceania. |

When Midwestern journalist Steve Boman applied to the University of Southern California's vaunted School of Cinematic Arts, the world's oldest and most prestigious film school, he had more than a few strikes against him: His wife was recovering from thyroid cancer. His beloved sister had just died of leukemia. He lost his job. He had three young children. He was in his late 30s…. And he had no experience in filmmaking. As Boman navigates his way through USC's arduous three-year graduate production program, he finds that his films fall flat, he's threatened with being kicked out of the program and he becomes the old guy no one wants to work with. Defeated, he quits and moves back to the Midwest to be with his family. After he is urged by his wife to reapply, he miraculously gets in for a second time...only to have a stroke on the first day of classes. But instead of doing the easy thing – running away again -- Boman throws caution to the wind and embraces the challenge. He slowly becomes a gray-haired Golden Boy at USC with films that sparkle. And then he does the impossible: While still in school, for a class project, he dreams up a television series that CBS catches wind of and develops into THREE RIVERS, a primetime Sunday night show. This story of challenge and triumph—and what it takes to make it in the world's most famous film school—is a must-read for anyone aspiring to become a Hollywood great or anyone just looking for a good story. |

| extreme math my drive: Always Faithful Thomas Schueman, Zainullah Zaki, 2022-08-09 Band of Brothers meets Argo in this dramatic and heartfelt dual memoir of the war in Afghanistan told by two men from opposite worlds. Always Faithful entwines the stories of Marine Major Tom Schueman, and his friend and Afghan interpreter, Zainullah “Zak” Zaki, as they describe their parallel lives, converging paths, and unbreakable bond in the face of overwhelming danger, culminating in Zak and his family’s harrowing escape from Kabul. In August of 2021, just days shy of the 20th anniversary of 9/11, America ended its longest war. The speed of the Afghanistan’s fall was so stunning that thousands of Afghan citizens who had helped American forces over the course of two decades—and had been promised visas in return—were suddenly stranded, in extreme, imminent danger. As the world watched the shocking scenes of desperation at the Kabul airport in the final two weeks of August, Maj. Tom Schueman fought—both behind the scenes and through a social media campaign—to get his friend and former Afghan interpreter, Zak, out of Afghanistan before he and his family were discovered by the Taliban. When Zak and his family finally took off from the airport mere days before the US left the country, the years-long effort to get Zak to America culminated in two simple words on Instagram: “Wheels up.” Now in Always Faithful, Tom and Zak tell the full story of the divergent paths that led them to Afghanistan, the dangerous road they walked together in service to America, and how their commitment to each other ended up saving them both. Brilliantly told in Tom’s and Zak’s alternating first person voices, Always Faithful tracks the parallel lives of these two men who each spent their childhoods in fear, peril, and poverty, and turned to war in attempt to build a meaningful future. On an inevitable course towards each other, their lives dovetail in Afghanistan’s deadly Helmand Valley, where they formed a brotherhood that transcends even the most overwhelming of odds, eventually culminating in Zak’s harrowing, eleventh-hour rescue. The end result is an intensely personal and uniquely ground-level account of Tom and Zak’s experience, Always Faithful gives readers a 360-degree view of the war. At once provocative and heart pounding, their stories together form a microcosm of the complicated and lasting effects of America’s longest war. Through their eyes and their experiences, they challenge readers to explore the legacy of the war for American and Afghan citizens alike, as we all collectively seek to understand whether twenty years of war was worth the price. |
| extreme math my drive: Horizon Ratan Deo Singh, : In the middle of eighty, a few of our friends organized a tour to London. A travel company arranged the tour, securing accommodation in a hotel in London. During my stay in London, I expressed my willingness to the tour operator to visit my friend Amit Kumar Singh. As co-villager, we were enjoying our friendship from childhood. He jumped various stages of the regular system of education on his merit. We continued our relationship by the exchange of letters, though not regularly, but intermittently. These days, the myths concerned with eating cow flesh in the west have no relevance. Intercontinental food availabilities have varieties of options. Still, the Hindus of India had a reservation to treat the cow as a mother. I reached his residence early morning. He and his wife welcomed me heartily. He informed me that he had three sons, the first were twins and the third was three years after the birth of the twin. His sons were patronized by his mother-in-law to inherit her vast business empire., When I expressed my desire to take departure, he gave me two diaries and requested me to write about him. Months took to correlate incidents of his life to ink on paper. No doubt, his correspondence became a valued tool to connect several links. I can assure you his biopic is worth reading |

| extreme math my drive: Love to Hate Jody Roy, 2002-08-27 Why? is the simple, impulsive question we ask when confronted by horrible acts of hatred and violence. Why do students shoot fellow students or employees their coworkers? Why do mothers drown their children or husbands stalk and kill their wives? Love to Hate challenges us to turn this question upon ourselves at a deeper level. Why, as a culture, are we so fascinated by these acts? Why do we bestow celebrity on the perpetrators, while allowing the victims to fade into a second death of obscurity? Are we, as Pope John Paul II famously accused, a culture of death? And if so, how can we break free of this unacknowledged aspect of the cycle of violence? Unlike those who point solely to media imagery, splintered families, or lax gun control laws in search of the roots of America's endemic violence, Jody M. Roy suggests that we all must be held responsible. She argues that we reveal our love affair with hatred and violence in the ways we think and speak in our daily lives and in our popular culture. The very words we use function as building blocks of callousness and contempt, betraying our immersion in subtexts of violence and hatred. These subtexts are further revealed in our complex attitudes toward street gangs, school shooters, serial killers, and hate groups and the paroxysms of violence they unleash. As spectators, driven by our impulse to watch, we become an integral part of the equation of violence. In the book's final section, Freeing Ourselves of Our Obsession with Hatred and Violence, Roy offers practical steps we can take—as parents, consumers, and voters—to free ourselves from linguistic and cultural complicity and to help create in America a culture of life. |

| extreme math my drive: The Geopolitics of Red Oil Andrew Stephen Campion, 2016-01-08 Energy security has emerged as one of the most important contemporary geopolitical issues. Access to reliable, cheap energy has become essential to the functioning of modern economies but the uneven distribution of energy supplies has led to perceptions of significant Western vulnerability. At the same time, many in the West have become wary of China’s re-emergence as a major power in global politics, with its impact on Western foreign policies and potential threat to Western energy security. This book offers fresh insights into the rise of China as a global superpower and the ways in which its rise is perceived to threaten Western energy security, engaging specifically with how the idea of the China threat has emerged in popular discourse. The author questions how recent US foreign policy has sought to position China as an antagonist to Western energy interests and explores how this image has become the dominant understanding of China by the West. Rather than treating these issues as given, which orthodox approaches tend to do, this book analyses the discursive relationship between US identity, foreign policy and energy security, which leads to a more nuanced and critical understanding of perceptions of China’s potential threat to Western energy security. Filling an important gap in the emerging corpus of research on energy security, this book will be particularly valuable to students and scholars of Politics, International Relations and Chinese Studies. |

| extreme math my drive: Unstuff Hayley DiMarco, Michael DiMarco, 2010-12-20 God . . . and stuff. Everything in the universe falls into one of these two categories. Which is more important to you? (It’s not a trick question.) In Unstuff: Making Room in Your Life for What Really Matters, popular authors Hayley and Michael DiMarco take a close look at what’s in your wallet, your heart, your house, and your mind to reveal the pleasures and perils of stuff—and the joy, peace, and freedom that comes from learning to live with less. In this real-life look at “how it’s done,” the DiMarcos take an uncomfortably close look at the cost of their love affair with stuff. They start by Unstuffing their house—getting rid of anything they don’t need by giving away, selling, or throwing out items that only add to their love for more. Then, kicking it up a notch, this family of three travels across the country with nothing more than they can fit in a motor home . . . and discovers that the really important stuff goes with them. |

| extreme math my drive: Wolf's Pack Aimee Easterling, 2020-10-13 Over 2,000 pages of werewolf adventures in one spot! I'm Wolf Young --- Wolfie to my friends. But this box set isn't about me. It's about three strong women I've had the luxury to know. They kick ass and take names. Bake cupcakes and build packs. Their world is full of swords and secret government bases. Malicious fathers and found families. And, yeah, I hang out on the periphery. It's a pretty good place to be. I asked my personal scribe to jot down their stories, and the result is an impressive assemblage. Ten novels. Two novellas. Enough short stories to keep an entire wolf pack busy around the campfire. A few of those tales are about me, but that's not the point. The point is the bold, beautiful women who fight, sleuth, and fall in love on these pages. Why not grab yourself a copy and become part of our pack? Contains: The (More Than Complete) Bloodling Serial (Bloodling Wolf, Paradigm Shift, In Deep Shift, Two Scents' Worth, Feint of Heart, and Hair Apparent), Shiftless, Pool Party, Scapegoat, Pack Princess, Character List, Alpha Ascendant, The Tail End of Love, Bloodling Song, Tough as Nails, Half Wolf, Dark Wolf Adrift, Lone Wolf Dawn, Wolf Landing, Yule Moon (Out of the Closet, Hunting Christmas, Joining Up, and Potatoes and Gravy), Beastly, Werewolf Recipe Swap, First Blood, When the Wolf Catches the Car, Hot Shift, Huntress Born, Huntress Bound, Sebastien's Favorite Cookies, Rogue Huntress, Macaroni Dreams, In the Kitchen with Werewolves, Huntress Unleashed, and Muffins & Moonlight. |
