Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Although foster youth have college aspirations similar to their peers, fewer than one in ten ultimately complete a two-year or four-year college degree. What are the major factors that influence their chances of succeeding? Climbing a Broken Ladder advances our knowledge of what can be done to improve college outcomes for a student group that has largely remained invisible in higher education. Drawing on data from one of the most extensive studies of young people in foster care, Nathanael J. Okpych examines a wide range of factors that contribute to the chances that foster youth enroll in college, persist in college, and ultimately complete a degree. Okpych also investigates how early trauma affects later college outcomes, as well as the impact of a significant child welfare policy that extends the age limit of foster care. The book concludes with data-driven and concrete recommendations for policy and practice to get more foster youth into and through college.

Book excerpt: A collection of minimalist poetry that explores the hustle of the Canadian urban business world and the frustration and futility of chasing a dream of success that might not exist in the current capitalist society. Even in Canada, we have been sold the idea of the American dream, by generations that could afford houses, cars, vacations homes, and big families on single incomes, without going into massive amounts of debt or require higher education. This is no longer the reality, yet we push for it. Concealing all our cracks under our suits, makeup, and accessories; hoping we can hold it together long enough to get a taste of that dream. This collection is completely relevant and relatable to any poetry lover and anyone working in a corporate environment.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Preface For years, I have worked to establish a professional legacy that illustrates who I am at my core. I work extremely hard and at times, I play even harder. Over my many years as a public servant and a successful entrepreneur/consultant, I have experienced success that often leaves many people in awe - especially when they hear the back story. Yes, I have been acclaimed in my career field and praised for my efficiency. Some have even labeled me a "subject matter expert." I've helped countless others achieve remarkable success via my brain children (which brings me great pride) However, aside from all of that, I am much more than my resume'. I am a success story, to say the least, and I am honored to have this moment to freely share my life with you; and while I have not quite made it to the top, I am still Climbing the Ladder on Broken Rungs.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Experiencing the manner in which the Holy Spirit communicates the words of God to Christians is a key element in understanding a real relationship with Jesus. (1st Cor. Ch. 2) According to the apostle Paul, there is a more comprehensive interpretation of the Bible which can only be understood by the guidance of the Holy Spirit, Whom is the constant companion of the Christian. Bible "teachers" therefore, are those whose doctrine we are to zealously compare with the clear and literal teaching of Holy Scripture. Taught by the Holy Spirit addresses Who the ultimate Bible teacher is, and why the Christian is to rely upon Him and the Word of God, rather than famous people who stand behind a pulpit.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Because warehouses typically contain no dangerous machines or high-risk operations, employers and employees often develop a false sense of safety and security. With this book, you will learn how to proactively develop formal safety programs and reduce the number of safety incidents and losses that occur in your warehouse environment. Warehouse Safety discusses such topics as the nature of warehouse operations and safety statistics and examines the components of an effective safety program, including meetings, job safety observation, and safety incentives. It focuses on the high hazard work areas and situation present in warehouses and the equipment and training that managers should invest in to prevent injury and loss. Author George Swartz addresses a number of preventative measures, including fixed fire systems and fire safety, materials storage, handrailing and ladders, employee training, forklifts, methods for lockout/tagout procedures, dock hazards and safeguards, and more.
