| dirty hot seat questions: Angels With Dirty Faces Gary Clarke, Paul D. Lowe, 2023-02-04 In 1938 in the Depression with WWII on the horizon, movie-going audiences were riveted by ‘Angels with Dirty Faces’, the morality tale of a priest trying to stop a gangster from corrupting street kids. Flash forward to 1960s and 1970s Nottingham, England, the home of Robin Hood, where two lads who never met each other until later in life, grew up humbly and with many challenges. They both took paths that, like the gangster in the movie, led them to an extraordinary destiny as world game-changers. What did they decide to do next? Create a series of podcasts that became the basis for a book. Missional Architect, author, educator, podcaster, and Nottingham Forest fan Paul D. Lowe sits down with Nottingham Forest fan, author, sports figure, and former football hooligan Gary ‘Boatsy’ Clarke to compare childhoods, ponder fatherhood, share favourite music (they both jam to Sinatra), and reveal never-before shared secrets…and, of course, to talk football. Lots of it. There are life lessons and bouts of philosophy about the beautiful game of football, and the beautiful game of life. Gary and Paul are joined by a few friends as guest interviewers: Kristin Johnson, Keith Amoss, Mick Garton, Rebecca Wheele, Darryl Claypole, Jason Kehoe, and Andrew Batt. Think of it as a group of friends having a series of intimate chats over a cup of tea and a slice of cake. And along the way, the dirty faces fall away to reveal the angels underneath. |
| dirty hot seat questions: Histories of Dirt Stephanie Newell, 2019-12-20 In Histories of Dirt Stephanie Newell traces the ways in which urban spaces and urban dwellers come to be regarded as dirty, as exemplified in colonial and postcolonial Lagos. Newell conceives dirt as an interpretive category that facilitates moral, sanitary, economic, and aesthetic evaluations of other cultures under the rubric of uncleanliness. She examines a number of texts ranging from newspaper articles by elite Lagosians to colonial travel writing, public health films, and urban planning to show how understandings of dirt came to structure colonial governance. Seeing Lagosians as sources of contagion and dirt, British colonizers used racist ideologies and discourses of dirt to justify racial segregation and public health policies. Newell also explores possibilities for non-Eurocentric methods for identifying African urbanites’ own values and opinions by foregrounding the voices of contemporary Lagosians through interviews and focus groups in which their responses to public health issues reflect local aesthetic tastes and values. In excavating the shifting role of dirt in structuring social and political life in Lagos, Newell provides new understandings of colonial and postcolonial urban history in West Africa. |

| dirty hot seat questions: Yucca Mountain Dirty Bomb Wendell Duffield, 2007-04 Welcome to the year 2025. Following a lengthy approval process seemingly driven more by politics than science, the nation's inventory of high-level radioactive waste is finally stored in underground passageways dug into the guts of Yucca Mountain, Nevada. Two years later, the unexpected and unthinkable happens ... a violent volcanic eruption blasts its way through the mountain. Because Yucca is saturated with the percolating abundant rainfall brought about by climate change, explosive steam bursts add to an already destructive eruption as two-thousand-degree magma mixes with water. Radioactive waste is erupted along with volcanic ash, creating the ultimate dirty bomb. The deadly mixture is blown downwind where it settles out over Las Vegas and Lake Mead. The city must be evacuated and the lake drained, displacing and disrupting the lives of millions of people for long into the future. Yucca Mountain Dirty Bomb invites the reader to live vicariously through a scenario that experts consider unlikely, as measured by carefully calculated probability (popularly called the odds) ... the very mathematical construct that sustains the gambling mecca of Las Vegas. Nonetheless, unlikely events can and do occur, and in this novel the house loses! |
| dirty hot seat questions: Stand for Life John Ensor, Scott Klusendorf, 2022-05-03 Of the 1.2 million abortions performed annually in the U.S., more than 500,000 are performed on college-aged women. They make up 44% of all abortions in the country. So it is not surprising that there is a large, thriving network of pro-life groups on college campuses. These groups serve to advocate for pro-life and educate other young people about the physical, emotional, psychological and spiritual effects that abortion has on women. While there are online guides and booklets on the topic, there are currently very few if any books that are specifically geared for use by young advocates for this cause. Now there is Stand for Life, a manual that addresses tough questions in a format that is concise and straightforward. Topics include: Defending your pro-life views in five minutes or lessUnderstanding the sanctity of human lifeSimplifying the abortion debateDeveloping a Christian response to abortionDebate: keeping cool under fireQ&As about such thorny issues as unsafe abortions, abortion when mothers lives are at risk, my body, my choice, and more |

A woman’s field guide to the new frontier of professional development—working with other women Women-to-women relationships in the workplace are . . . complicated. When they’re good, they’re great.

It’s about transforming a toxic relationship into one that benefits and supports both of you. This book is also for women who engage in mean behavior . . . but don’t know it. After all, who hasn’t gossiped about a female coworker? Who hasn’t rolled her eyes in the presence of a woman she doesn’t like?

| dirty hot seat questions: How to Talk Dirty Denise Brienne, 2012-04-12 Why Learn How To Talk Dirty? You might be reading this because your partner has expressed an interest in hearing naughty words in the heat of passion. You might have sought out this book because you are the one who craves those sweet nothings. Maybe you want to liven up your sex life, or maybe you are just curious as to why your partner likes to talk so much in bed. Maybe you are already a fantastic dirty talker who needs a new idea or two, or maybe you're just in the mood to brush up on your naughty skills. Whatever the reason, you've chosen the right book to learn how to talk dirty! Talking dirty has become so much a part of our sexual culture that it has spawned surveys, interviews, forums, books, and research galore. In fact, before it was called dirty talk, the art of saying sexual things to your lover with the intent to arouse had a scientific name: Lagnolalia. There's good reason for all this scientific interest. Over 80% of our sex life takes place in our heads, meaning that fantasy, memory, and desire are some of the most powerful driving forces behind everything we do behind closed doors. Studies have shown that by the time you actually get physical with your partner, your mind has been leading up to the encounter. So why not go for the dirty talk? It's been in the back of your mind all day anyway! According to Aline P. Zoldbrod, PhD, the author of more than a few books on naughtiness, sexy talk with your partner not only revs up play between the sheets, but enriches your life in ways you never would have imagined. It makes your partner feel good to know how excited you are, and your excitement makes them feel like the best lover in the world. That might explain why talking dirty makes you tingle in all the right places, but it doesn't explain why the naughtiest dirty talk can also be the hottest. It's one thing to say fuck and get a smile, but it's quite another to tell your partner exactly how you want to fuck them, in the most graphic terms you can imagine. The dirtier the words, the better. What's up with that? One word: Taboo. This book helps you break the taboo and teaches you how to talk dirty to a guy. INSIDE YOU WILL LEARN: 1. Why we should talk dirty 2. The most important part of talking dirty 3. Finding out that dirty talking doesn't have to be filthy 4. How to get started 5. How to get dirty ideas 6. Setting the stage for being naughty 7. How to put words in your mouth 8. How to use dirty talk creatively everyday 9. Fine tuning your bedroom talk 10. How to have phone sex 11.

| dirty hot seat questions: The Fixer Josh Young, Manfred Westphal, 2024-04-16 A riveting tell-all biography that delves into the extraordinary life of Hollywood’s most infamous private detective and “fixer” to the stars, revealing newly discovered shocking revelations from his never-before-seen investigative files. During the height of Hollywood’s golden age, one man lorded over the city’s lurid underbelly of forbidden sin and celebrity scandal like no other: Fred Otash. An ex-Marine turned L.A.P.D. vice cop, Otash became the most sought-after private detective and fixer to the stars by specializing in the dark arts that would soon dominate the entertainment industry. Otash was notorious for bugging the homes, offices, and playpens of movie stars, kingmakers, and powerful politicians, employing then state-of-the-art methods of electronic surveillance and wiretapping for a who’s who list of clients for whom he’d do “anything short of murder.” He lied to federal authorities to protect Frank Sinatra from criminal liability; recorded Rock Hudson’s coming out confession to his estranged wife; moved in with Judy Garland to help her get sober; taped President John F. Kennedy and Attorney General Robert F. Kennedy’s tragic love affairs with the greatest sex symbol of all time, and he listened to Marilyn Monroe die. Based on Otash’s never-before-seen investigative files and personal archives, THE FIXER takes readers inside the sensational and nefarious world of the man whose art imitating life inspired the private eye characters portrayed by Jack Nicholson in Chinatown and Russell Crowe in LA Confidential. |
| dirty hot seat questions: Building Strong Friendships David C. Cook, 2002-09-01 Building Strong Friendships . . . We Need Them! Sin always tends to make us blind to our own faults, writes James Houston, quoted in the book Connecting. We need a friend to stop us from deceiving ourselves that what we are doing is not so bad after all. We need a friend to help us overcome our low-image, insulated self-importance, selfishness, pride, our deceitful nature, our dangerous fantasies. . . . True, but there are so many other reasons we need close friends! And they are happy reasons, having nothing to do with sin and dysfunction. After all, what good is a smashing success without a close friend to share in our joy? What would a scrumptious dinner be like without a pal across the table to savor it with? And how can we ever truly know the good in ourselves unless our friend reminds us to take a second look and —especially in the times when we're so down on ourselves, blinded to the wonderful gifts God has given us. The Scripture agrees when it says: Two are better than one, because they have a good return for their work. If one falls down, his friend can help him up. But pity the man who falls and has no one to help him up! - Ecclesiastes 4:9-10 Yes, we need close friends because we often stumble and need help getting up. In short, we need encouragement, affirmation, warmth, and smiling eyes looking back into ours. We'll never grow beyond our need for close friends, so let's learn how to create those friendships and keep them going strong. |

Being a good board member is not about knowing everything; it is about asking the right questions and challenging appropriately. Effective Directors: The Right Questions To Ask (QTA) is a reference book for board members and executives globally to support them in their work. With chapters written by senior company board members and respected figures in corporate governance, the questions have been drawn together to offer food for thought and useful prompts that take boards beyond operational discussions. The book clearly presents key areas to be considered by the board (there are over 50 in total) and range from board composition, to data security, diversity and inclusion, and succession planning. The questions are ones that boards, in any organisation, should be asking themselves, their fellow board members, service providers, executives, and other stakeholders to ensure that the right issues are raised, transparency and effective oversight are achieved, and the board is fulfilling its role in governing the organisation. In addition to being invaluable for board members, the book is also a very useful tool for executives in understanding the kind of questions their board members are likely to ask, and the kind of questions that should be asked and discussed in the boardroom. |

| dirty hot seat questions: Preserve the Best and Conserve the Rest Hadley B. Roberts, 2016-04-30 As a young teenager, I made a game plan that included an education that would lead me to a vocation working with either fish or game animals. The plan would also complement my avocations, hunting and fishing. This was my utopia. Where was this place? After exhaustive reading, I decided that it was somewhere in the Pacific Northwest. No matter what the job was, it could not be repetitive and monotonous as I tend to get bored very easily. It had to be challenging and definitely had to be fun! And it certainly had to be in the outdoors. I absolutely refused to quit until I found that place and job! When I finally graduated from the University of Maine and hung out my shingle, it read Wildlife Conservation. The word conservation meant only one thing to me: that is the wise use of renewable natural resources, with special regards for wildlife and fish. These ideas were instilled in me by the writings of Aldo Leopold in his Game Management and Durward Allen in his Our Wildlife Legacy. |
