Book Description
"Some Chairs. Broken Chairs" is a 2013 memoir written by Yike Guo. The Author describes in this memoir his own experiences in the most recent two years participating in student conferences simulating the working procedures, negotiations across Europe, notably Model United Nations conferences (Model UN) and simulations of the EU and NATO. He took various roles and travelled to a wide range of countries, while managing to also study in his home town. He also possesses a frevent interest in international relations, human rights, diplomacy, art and cultures, among others. This memoir does not only reflect moments that were daunting and frustrating, but also those who were exceptionally rewarding and memorable. The author decided to immortalize some of the prominent and best moments in his life until then in this book. However, for many reasons, though worked hard on it, he could not cover everything in greater depth. The author provided more fragments of personal collection full of memories, anecdotes and expositions, but also some stories behind the scenes, expectations and realities, comedies and tragedies, and about his job rather than a patterned guidebook for everyone. Yike Guo wrote about some people who inspired and changed him, and gave insights to people wishing to find out more about what a Model conference is looking like, what one could learn and which motivation he had. The memoir contains also a great range of selections of position papers, articles and post-conference reports by his friends presenting the readership a different view than the author ́s own. Starting with his first conference two years ago, the author mostly chronologically listed his journeys and events and ended in April 2013, having gone and thrived at some twenty of the most prestigious and meritorious European conferences, projects and dialogues.

The Laws of Innkeepers
Author: John E. H. Sherry
Publisher: Cornell University Press
ISBN: 9780801425080
Category : Bars (Drinking establishments)
Languages : en
Pages : 952
Book Description
Here is the new, completely updated and expanded edition of the indispensable handbook used throughout the hospitality industry since The Laws of Innkeepers first appeared in 1972. Containing all the legal information essential to the successful operation of modern hotels, motels, inns, bed-and-breakfasts, clubs, restaurants, and resorts, the book has been extensively revised by John E. H. Sherry to accomodate the far-reaching changes that have occured since the publication of the revised edition in 1981. Sherry, a practicing lawyer and professor of hotel administration, carries over from the highly praised earlier editions detailed information on the rights and responsibilities of host and guest alike. He cites actual cases--ranging from the amusing and the bizarre to the tragic--as examples, and spells out in precise and readily understandable terms exactly what state and federal law says. Broadening the scope of the book to keep up with recent legal developments, the author includes many new case decisions and sumamries from various jurisdictions. Three chapters devoted to employment law, environmental law and land use, and catastrophic risk liability are among the highlights of the new material. These new sections present recent rulings and case law on such timely topics as age, disability, and AIDS discrimination, as well as sexual harassment; government regulation of toxic and hazardous substances and hotel and resort development; and acts of God and the Public Enemy and terrorism.

Best Friends Forever
Author: Irene S. Levine
Publisher: Abrams
ISBN: 1590203704
Category : Psychology
Languages : en
Pages : 208
Book Description
Men, jobs, children, personal crises, irreconcilable social gaps—these are just a few of the strange and confusing reasons which may cause a female friendship to end. No matter the cause, the breakup of a female friendship leaves a woman devastated and asking herself difficult questions. Was someone to blame? Is the friendship worth fighting for? How can I prevent this from ever happening again? Even more upsetting is that women suffering from broken friendships often have no one to confide in; while the loss of a romantic partner garners sympathy among peers, discussing the loss of a platonic friend is often impossible without making other friends jealous or uncomfortable. Written by journalist and psychologist Irene Levine, Ph.D., Best Friends Forever is an uplifting and heroically honest book for abandoned friends seeking solace. Dr. Levine draws from the personal testimonials of thousands of women to provide anecdotes and groundbreaking solutions to these complicated situations. Offering tools for personal assessment, case stories, and actionable advice for saving, ending, or re-evaluating a relationship, Levine shows that breakups are sometimes inevitable. Although the dissolution of female friendships can be difficult, Best Friends Forever teaches women to stop blaming themselves and probing the wounds, and that the sad experience of a broken friendship can make them stronger people, and more able to handle their relationships with wisdom.
