          Book Description

          Some kids collect baseball cards. I collect words.

          Hi! I'm the Word Whiz. I'm in middle school, just like you, and I'm going to turn you into a Word Whiz -- just like me! I'm going to introduce you to more than 600 words middle school students need to know for New York State tests, in class, and when doing homework. Important words for important subjects, such as:

          English Language Arts: paraphrase, alliteration, genre, metaphor, symbolism Math: convert, probability, hypotenuse, median, variable Social Studies: partisan, inalienable, imperialism, ratify, consequences Science: buoyant, neutron, friction, oxidation, synthesis

          I've also included words commonly used in questions on New York State tests, including approximate, equivalent, and opinion.

          My WhizWord lists have kid-friendly definitions and sample sentences, plus synonyms, antonyms, related words and meanings, and examples of how the words are used on the New York State tests.

          I've also included all this extra cool stuff:

          * WhizTips: helpful hints on how to learn words and ace tests. * WhizQuizzes: mini-quizzes to help cement the words in your brain. * WhizFacts: general good stuff to know about these words.

          And that's not all! I also made up some really fun practice exercises. They will help you nail down these vocabulary words by relating them to things we're interested in, like TV, movies, sports, and music.

          The words in this book will come in handy for the rest of your life. So let's get started!

                    This assessment is ideal for anyone who must develop a quality plan - whether your company is applying for the Malcolm Baldrige National Quality Award, pursuing ISO cerification, or simply assessing how your quality processes measure up against these two widely accepted sets of quality criteria.

                    With a checklist of 256 requirements, Quality Management Benchmark Assessment (QMBA) provides the framework to:

                    * Identify quality management criteria for each business function.
                    * Direct corrective action and monitor progress.
                    * Use universal quality requirements while adding your own unique requirements.
                    * Prepare your organization for quality assurance certification.
                    * Evaluate your suppliers.

                    QMBA provides special insights on assessments for service organizations - either stand-alone companies or those internal to product companies.

                          Book Description

                          Today the term "insider lending" conveys an aura of abuse and corruption, of unethical, if not illegal, behavior. In early nineteenth century New England, however, insider lending was an integral aspect of the banking system. Not only was the practice an accepted fact of economic life, but, as Naomi R. Lamoreaux argues, it enabled banks (at least in this particular historical context) to play an important role in financing economic development. As the banking system evolved over the course of the century, however, lending practices became more impersonal and professional.

                          5 out of 5 stars This Book Helped Find Me A Career.......2007-01-12

                          I was interested in an online paralegal study program. This book presented various options, and I ended up at the Washington Online Learning Institute, (WOLI) based on this book's recommendations. It was the best professional decision I ever made. A great school, even better than the author described, possibly because it had grown and developed after the time that the author wrote her book. So, if you can find a book that can really help you with your career, you should buy it! Due to the guidance from this book and my certificate from WOLI, I now am a certified paralegal and happily employed in a corporate law department. I don't know if I would have ended up at WOLI without this book, so I am very grateful to the author for pointing the way and showing that online learning is a very real choice in today's world. I do think, however, that it would have been helpful to distinguish a bit more between fully developed programs such as the one at WOLI with lesser quality study programs at other schools, because this is a real issue that kept coming up as I searched for the right school. Some schools, for instance, are just old fashioned correspondence schools which send you materials and expect you to learn on your own. Other schools, the best ones, provide dynamic online interactive learning environments. That is what I loved about WOLI, but not all schools offer such a rich environment. I think the author could have stressed this a little more and saved her readers some time, but overall this is a very useful book.

                          3 out of 5 stars Good If You Have the Financial Resources........2006-03-10

                          Train At Home To Work At Home: How To Get Certified, Earn A Degree, Or Take A Class From Home To begin A Work-At-Home Career by Michelle McGarry is a good book.

                          I might argue that the main reason that most folks want to work at home is to earn money. Money that they may not have intially to take the courses that she suggest.

                          It might be better to use an online resource like pennyperclick.com to earn the money for the classes first.

                          4 out of 5 stars A Great Resource Book.......2003-10-30

                          In "Train at Home to Work at Home" author Michelle McGarry lists 27 occupations that can be done working out of your home. Each occupation is first described in order to give you some sense of what the occupation entails. After the description is a section with an extensive list of programs that offer distance training. Within that section the programs are described, complete contact information provided, and the details of the program are given (including costs). This section is followed by one that provides more information including suggested books, organizations, and web sites.

                          This book provides information on different work-at-home occupations. It does not provide information on how to perform those occupations nor does it pretend to provide any training. It is a resource book that points the reader to some of the better work-at-home ideas and how to get the training you will need in order to be successful at the venture.

                          5 out of 5 stars Offers a wealth of practical advice.......2003-09-21

A superb overview and resource for anyone with responsibilities that keep them at home yet seek a productive earning career, Train At Home To Work At Home is a unique and highly recommended addition to personal, professional, and community library Jobs/Careers reference and resource collection collections.

                          5 out of 5 stars A Where To Look For Book Pertaining to Home Study.......2003-08-21

                          If you are looking to save a great deal of time and effort researching educational institutions and organizations offering distance learning programs and courses pertaining to twenty seven different work-at-home enterprises, Michelle McGarry's insider's guide book, Train at Home To Work At Home: How to Get Certified, Earn a Degree, or Take a Class From Home to Begin a Work-at-Home Career, will prove to be a godsend.
                          However, it should be noted, this is not a how-to but rather a where-to-look book.

                          McGarry's main focus is to provide information about training and education for home careers.
                          As for the pros and cons of home businesses, and the how-to in setting them up, the author refers her readers to her section entitled "Michelle's Bookshelf and Bookmarks."

                          The arrangement of the listing of occupations and businesses are in alphabetical order, covering such occupations as: bed and breakfast owners, bookkeeping services, catering services, childbirth educators, child day care providers, desktop publishers, editorial services, graphic designers, financial planners, home inspectors, image consultants, indexers, information brokers, medical billing and coding, and many more.

                          Learning institutions offering programs pertaining to the various careers are listed with their addresses, phone numbers, web sites and email addresses.
                          This is followed by an indication of the courses offered, the types of certifications or degrees attainable, costs, number of credits required for completion, if there is email support, what learning materials are included, information concerning exams, delivery methods, and other pertinent data.

                          For example, if you were interested in becoming a paralegal, we are informed that the University of California, Los Angles, is one institution that you may want to consider.
                          This university offers two certificates with different concentrations: an Attorney Assistant, Litigation Option certificate and an Attorney Assistant, Corporate Option certificate. The cost of the program is $3, 750.00. On the other hand, you may wish to follow the program offered by Ashworth College in Norcross, Georgia, which approaches the course in a different manner.

                          One caveat, as the author mentions, "verify that what you're learning is satisfactory to the industry standards. Check with national associations if this program will satisfy their certification requirements. Ask industry leaders if you need a Bachelor degree, or if a certificate will suffice. Do you need in-office experience in this field before breaking out on your own?"

                          At the end of each career segment the author provides references to various books as well as E-books, organizations, and web sites, where the reader may further his or her knowledge concerning a particular occupation.

                          One of the drawbacks of books of this nature is that some of the information provided becomes quickly obsolete.
                          In order to deal with this problem, the author offers a free e-mail newsletter that will update readers on new programs, old programs no longer available, new tuition rates, new phone numbers and other pertinent information.

                          Replete with a great deal of information reflecting the author's many hours of meticulous research, this book will prove to be invaluable to anyone contemplating working from home, or wishing to improve their skills.
                          As an added bonus, the author provides an eleven- page bibliography, as well as a listing of recommended web sites. ...

                          Book Description

                          In Pictorial Metaphor in Advertising, Charles Forceville argues that metaphor can occur in pictures as well as words and draws on relevant studies from various disciplines to propose a model for the identification, classification and analysis of "pictorial metaphors." Forceville shows not only how metaphor can occur in pictures, but also provides a framework within which these pictorial metaphors can be analyzed.

                          The theoretical insights are applied to thirty advertisements and billboards of British, French, German and Dutch origin. The detailed analyses of the advertisements suggest how metaphor theory can be employed as a tool in media studies, shedding light on where general agreement about the meaning of pictorial metaphor can shade over into other more idiosyncratic but equally valid interpretations.

                          Download Description

                          Charles Forceville provides us with a method of detecting the metaphors which exist within pictures, particularly in advertising.

                          This is a great first attempt at sorting out the issues of applying developments in the theory of conceptual metaphor as set out by Lakoff and Johnson to the subject matter of visual imagery in advertising.

                                      Book Description

                                      A CMMS is an integrated set of computer programs and data files used to efficiently govern the massive amounts of data generated by maintenance, inventory control, and purchasing. With a CMMS in place, you will effectively manage both the human and capital resources in your plant. Now you can: trace materials used and track their costs; maintain optimum, cost-effective inventory levels; better utilize labor; automatically create maintenance histories; and make maintenance cost data readily accessible in a variety of formats.
