" In this first-ever biography of Greer Garson, Michael Troyan sweeps away the many myths that even today veil her life. The true origins of her birth, her fairy-tale discovery in Hollywood, and her career struggles at Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer are revealed for the first time. Garson combined an everywoman quality with grace, charm, and refinement. She won the Academy Award in 1941 for her role in Mrs. Miniver , and for the next decade she reigned as the queen of MGM. Co-star Christopher Plummer remembered, ""Here was a siren who had depth, strength, dignity, and humor who could inspire great trust, suggest deep intellect and whose misty languorous eyes melted your heart away!"" Garson earned a to...
IL THRILLER CHE TUTTI I LIBRAI MORIRANNO DALLA VOGLIA DI VENDERE. Roach ha ventiquattro anni e lavora in una libreria londinese: vende di tutto, ma per lei gli unici libri che vale la pena leggere sono quelli che raccontano di crimini, omicidi, serial killer, casi di cronaca nera. Con gli auricolari sempre nelle orecchie, sintonizzati sugli amati podcast di True Crime, Roach non consiglierà mai a un cliente commedie romantiche o i bestseller delle giovani star di TikTok. Forse perché anche la sua vita è così: solitaria e immersa nelle storie dei suoi serial killer preferiti, mentre nutre un odio profondo per tutti quelli che sbattono la loro felicità in faccia agli altri sui social. Ma ...
Roach – livreira, solitária e fanática por true crime – não está interessada em fazer amigos. Tem toda a companhia de que precisa nos seus livros de serial killers, podcasts de homicídios e no seu caracol de estimação, Bleep. Assim é, até Laura entrar para a livraria. Com os seus bonitos sacos literários e o seu sorriso reconfortante, ela é a livreira preferida de todos. Mas, por baixo do verniz brilhante, Roach sente uma escuridão dentro de Laura, a mesma escuridão que ela própria possui. E quando a curiosidade se transforma em obsessão mórbida, Roach fica determinada a fazer parte da história de Laura – quer Laura a queira nela ou não.
Covers receipts and expenditures of appropriations and other funds.
In the United States, the nomenclature of adult education includes adult literacy, adult secondary education, and English for speakers of other languages (ESOL) services provided to undereducated and limited English proficient adults. Those receiving adult education services have diverse reasons for seeking additional education. With the passage of the WIA, the assessment of adult education students became mandatory-regardless of their reasons for seeking services. The law does allow the states and local programs flexibility in selecting the most appropriate assessment for the student. The purpose of the NRC's workshop was to explore issues related to efforts to measure learning gains in adult basic education programs, with a focus on performance-based assessments.
At a time when policy makers are increasingly interested in shared decision making, this book tells the story of how to deliver tools created to help patients make better informed decisions. The real-world cases in this book, describe how pioneers from the US and UK introduced tools designed to help patients become well informed about tough decisions. They describe efforts to get the tools integrated into healthcare systems, sometimes with success, but often in the face of seemingly insurmountable obstacles. To better understand the challenges, each case in this book is reviewed through the lens of three different perspectives: Relational Coordination Theory presented by Jody Hoffer Gittell; Normalization Process Theory presented by Glyn Elwyn; and Microsystems presented by Marjorie M Godfrey. In the last chapter, Glyn Elwyn writes a provocative analysis of the steps that might be needed to facilitate large-scale implementation. Elliott Fisher comments in his foreword that “the gap between promise and reality remains deep and wide.” This book helps explain how we rise to meet this challenge.
