"A straightforward, practical guide that takes an anyone-can-do-this approach" (Kirkus Reviews), The Brainy Bunch outlines the Harding family's well-rounded method for producing college-ready kids by age twelve.Having six out of ten kids go to college is no small feat on its own, but having six kids in college before their teens--that's nothing short of incredible. "Never judgmental and not without humor," this "fascinating read" (Library Journal) is Kip and Mona Lisa Harding's story of producing exactly those extraordinary results. Kip and Mona Lisa are parents to an engineer (who earned her BS in mathematics at seventeen), an architect (who became the youngest member of the American Institute of Architects), a Navy physician (who earned her biology degree at seventeen), an entrepreneur (who earned an MS in computer science at seventeen), a sixteen-year-old college senior studying music theory and performance, a thirteen-year-old Middle Ages scholar with the highest average in his college class, and four others who are following fast in their siblings' footsteps No wonder the family is so used to being asked: How did you do it? In an "impressive" (Publishers Weekly), down-to-earth narrative, Kip and Mona Lisa reveal with warmth and humility the strategies behind their family's amazing educational accomplishments. Filled with daily regimens, advice for providing children with fulfilling experiences that go beyond the home, and tips for making the transition to college, theirs is an inspirational real-life success story that anyone can achieve--whether you homeschool your children or not. Featured on the Today show and FOX, The Brainy Bunch is uplifting and ultimately relatable proof of what any family can accomplish through dedication, love, faith, and hard work.

A PEOPLE MAGAZINE PICK "Shocking--and shockingly good.

Neglected by an alcoholic mother, the problems she endures at school and home lead her into the hands of adults who don't have her best interests in mind. Failed by them at every turn, Sammy acts out, seeking attention from boys, then men, when what she wants most is protection.Meanwhile, in a small village in Eastern Europe, preternaturally beautiful and na ve Nico is about to turn thirteen and as her family falls upon desperate times, her father is approached to marry her off. Her family knows that the nice life this stranger seems to be offering Nico is too good to be true, but they and Nico hope for the best as she's shuttled across the border into Ireland, where she and Sammy find one another in their new home, a suburban brothel.As Nico and Sammy journey into this dark underbelly and out the other side, their friendship--and the unexpected acts of kindness they give and receive--form a potent bond.Heartbreaking and breathtakingly beautiful, Cloud Girls exposes the failings of polite society and the cruelty that exists beneath its surface, yet reminds us that goodness and love can flourish in the darkest times.

Lisa Harding är en irländsk författare, dramatiker och skådespelare. Hon debuterade 2017 med romanen Harvesting, för vilken hon nominerades till the Irish Book Awards debutantpris. Hennes andra roman Allt som lyser och brinner utkom 2021 och har tagit såväl läsare som kritiker med storm.Allt som lyser och brinner är den gripande berättelsen om Sonya och hennes son Tommy. För Sonya är varje dag en kamp; det är kampen att vara en bra mamma till Tommy. Det är kampen mot konformism. Det är kampen mot demonen i flaskan och mot människorna som snokar och hotar att ta hennes son ifrån henne. När tillvaron ställs på sin spets tvingas Sonya att omvärdera sitt liv och en kamp för att återta kontrollen över tillvaron tar sin början.Med en glödande energi och ett vackert, gnistrande språk tecknar Lisa Harding ett varmt porträtt av moderskap och missbruk, av frånvarande fäder, krossade drömmar, den gränslösa kärleken till ett barn och kampen för att återerövra sitt liv.

As Colin digs in the ground, Lucy digs through her family's history, and eventually both of them uncover a shocking truth. The Big Dig asks big questions of its readers: Are secrets ever okay?

Supply chain management today has never been more complex, more dynamic or more unpredictable. The good news is that new techniques for analyzing country-level investments, network configuration and in-sourcing/out-sourcing decisions can enable more precise and effective span of control. The latest generation of network design and optimization applications has created broader opportunities to view and streamline links between supply chain network nodes.New concepts in multi-channel demand signal capture -- and in pooling and data warehousing customer signals coming into the enterprise from retail stores, websites and call centers -- can bring the enterprise closer to the customer. Emergence of practices such as multi-channel supply management and virtualized cross-enterprise inventory pools are enabling rapid response to changes in demand, creating a level of "cyber-kanban" unimaginable a few years ago. Companies can now truly respond to the pull of the market rather than the push of supply.Companies are also using advanced Business Intelligence (BI) software to mine the demand signal repository and cull critical insights for action and response. Case in point: Wal-Mart’s response to Hurricane Katrina was based on insights gained from mining community consumption trends during previous hurricanes.

Institutional requirements are funded manpower positions that can be difficult to fill because they do not align with traditional career fields, and they compete for the same personnel as operational and staff requirements. This report documents how the Air Force could reduce the impact of these requirements on career fields while ensuring that the organizations that depend on institutional requirements are staffed with qualified personnel.

In recent years the U.S. Air Force has faced persistent resource constraints while trying to deliver necessary training to its officer and enlisted forces. The Air Force therefore asked RAND Project AIR FORCE (PAF) to identify opportunities for optimizing processes at all levels of the nonrated technical training pipeline. This report presents PAF's assessment and recommends process and policy changes that could improve efficiency.
