LA BIBLE DE PATRONNAGEDE TERESA GILEWSKA ! Prenant en compte les grandes tailles et l’infinie diversité des morphologies (petit buste et hanches larges, bras larges et petite poitrine, forte poitrine et carrure étroite, etc.), la méthode de Teresa Gilewska permet à toutes les couturières de réaliser des vêtements au tombé impeccable, parfaitement ajustés à leurs mensurations, et d’explorer pleinement leur créativité. Cet ouvrage commence par détailler comment prendre les mesures du corps de façon précise et fiable, point de départ essentiel pour le sur-mesure. Les chapitres qui suivent sont consacrés à la construction et aux bases de transformation des patrons de base du buste, de la jupe et du pantalon. Deux chapitres sont dédiés aux manches et aux cols dont la construction est singulière et dépend toujours du buste auxquels ils sont destinés, un autre aborde tous les éléments qui vont s’appliquer au vêtement (poches, fronces, fentes, plis et la question des tissus extensibles pour l’ajustement). Enfin, le dernier chapitre développe les transformations avec de nombreux modèles aux styles très variés. Pour vous aider à réaliser les patrons finis de vêtements souhaités en toute autonomie, l’autrice analyse minutieusement chaque modèle et vous explique comment en déduire quelles techniques de transformation employer pour chaque cas spécifique. En effet, la principale difficulté n’est pas de maîtriser ces techniques, mais de savoir laquelle (ou lesquelles) utiliser pour construire le patron du modèle désiré.

“As so many Americans feel powerless to confront a financial system designed to serve the few, Shuman offers us real choices: tools that align our lives with our values. That’s power. I love this highly readable, timely, surprising book.” —Frances Moore Lappé, author of Daring Democracy and Diet for a Small Planet“As so many Americans feel powerless to confront a financial system designed to serve the few, Shuman offers us real choices: tools that align our lives with our values. That's power. I love this highly readable, timely, surprising book.” —Frances Moore Lappé, author of Daring Democracy and Diet for a Small Planet Americans agree on very little these days, but red state conservatives and blue state progressives can agree on one critical point: Wall Street can no longer be trusted. Yet most of us continue to invest our money in the stocks and bonds of Fortune 500 companies, transferring our capital far from where we live and work. Local investing expert Michael Shuman offers another alternative. He shows how we can use two well-established—but rarely used—investment tools to keep our money close and get a return as good as or better than what we'd get investing in distant, indifferent corporations. Shuman explains the nuts and bolts of self-directed IRAs and solo 401(k)s and how they can be combined with other recently legalized local investing tools. He details how to set these accounts up, identify and evaluate a whole range of local investment opportunities, and make sure account holders stay on the right side of the law. While the book is written for people without a lot of investment experience—Shuman explains concepts like “liquidity” and “diversification” in simple terms—even if you're as experienced as Warren Buffett, this book will make you rethink everything you know about investing. With Shuman's expert advice, you can strengthen your investment portfolio and your community, neighborhoods, and schools at the same time!

This book explores the profound impact of sport on community building, personal growth, and social cohesion. It delves into nostalgic memories of informal sport, the integration of sport management in academia, and the powerful sense of unity fostered through informal and formal sporting events and local traditions. The text builds from Warner and Dixon’s Sport and Sense of Community theory while emphasizing the importance of having a common interest, people-focused administration, and creating leadership opportunities within sport organizations. It also highlights the critical role of social spaces, both physical and virtual, and equitable decision-making in fostering connections and psychological well-being. The author then underscores the necessity of the Sense of Community in Sport (SCS) scale, which developed from this theory. This tool can be utilized to gauge, measure, analyze, and then adopt the scale findings to enhance community dynamics in sport and recreation settings. The author argues that sport managers must understand and implement the strategies outlined to build strong, inclusive communities, especially in the context of contemporary challenges like the loneliness epidemic and mental health crisis across the globe. Ultimately, through well-managed sport and acknowledgment of a shared responsibility, sport can be a solution to addressing the innate desire to belong to a healthy and supportive community. Warner provides a well-defined path and plan for sport managers to lead the way in creating a better together society.

Is Social Security really going bust, and what does that mean to me? If I hire an immigrant, am I hurting a native-born worker? Why does the stock market go up when employment declines? Should I give that homeless guy a buck? What’s a “living wage”? How much can presidents really affect economic outcomes? What does the Federal Reserve Bank really do? And even when some pundits say the economy’s sound, why do I still feel so squeezed? If you’d like some straight answers, premier economist Jared Bernstein is here to help. In Crunch he responds to dozens of questions he has fielded from working Americans, questions that directly relate to the bottom-line, dollars-and-cents concerns of real people. Chances are if there’s a stumper you’ve always wanted to ask an economist, it’s solved in this book. Bernstein is fed up with “Darth Vaders with PhDs” who use their supposed expertise to intimidate average citizens and turn economics into a tool for the rich and powerful. In the pages of Crunch, Bernstein lays bare the dark secret of economics: it’s not an objective scientific discipline. It’s a set of decisions about the best way to organize our society to produce and distribute resources and opportunities. And we all can, and must, participate in these decisions. “America is a democracy,” he writes. “And in a democracy all of us, not just the elites and their scholarly shock troops, get to weigh in on biggies like this.” To not weigh in, Bernstein insists, is a profoundly political act, one with damaging consequences. Our economy will be only as fair as we can make it. In this lively and irreverent tour through everyday economic mysteries, Bernstein helps us decode economic “analysis,” navigate through murky ethical quandaries, and make sound economicdecisions that reflect our deepest aspirations for ourselves, our families, and our country.

The investment advice and management industry is built on fraud: the idea that professional advisors can predictably and consistently help you get a better rate of return on your investments. The industry sells us on this lie using manipulative tactics that are studied, refined, Wall Street minted, and Madison Avenue packaged. And extraordinarily effective. Here, Michael Edesess exposes the shocking truth that, in fact, behind the success of nearly every prosperous investment professional lies not the ability to procure higher rates of return on investment for his or her clients but the ability to procure astoundingly high fees from those clients and nothing more. Through fascinating and sometimes humorous anecdotes and straightforward explanations of investment theory and scientific evidence, Edesess reveals just how badly investors are being scammed by The Big Investment Lie. He examines how the master salespeople that make up the industry sell their cleverly concocted distortions of truth--to the tune of $200 billion a year--to unsuspecting consumers who swallow them hook, line and sinker. He then shines a spotlight on the true cost of the industry's useless advice, showing that a prudent independent investor, following a conservative strategy, can reap anywhere from 40 percent to over 100 percent more than an investor who falls for The Big Investment Lie. Detailing the Ten New Commandments for Smart Investing--practical advice for how, where, and when to invest your money to maximize wealth--The Big Investment Lie provides the guidance you need to secure your financial future without throwing your hard-earned money away on the fraudulent investment advice industry.
