Evangelist Emmanuel Asante is a founder and director of Christ -for- Islam dialogue program. He was considered by soccer fans as Goal King during his heydays because of his goal-scoring abilities. He was a Christian who had lived in a Muslim community for part of his life and was almost converted but had to spring back to the Christian faith after he had an encounter with the good Lord in his dream. He was once a Bible teacher with the Resurrection Power Evangelistic Ministries when it was under the leadership of the late reverend Francis Akwasi Amoako. Again, in those days, he was a radio preacher with a unique ministry but now a Christ ambassador to all nations. Apart from having an apostolic ministry, he is now a coach and a soccer analyst who has also developed interest in research. Apart from other qualifications, he holds so many certificates in religious studies. He is married to Gina, and they are blessed with a son, Isaac, and two daughters, Linda and Rita Asante.

The face of the pedestrian safety crisis looks a lot like Ignacio Duarte-Rodriguez. The 77-year old grandfather was struck in a hit-and-run crash while trying to cross a high-speed, six-lane road without crosswalks near his son’s home in Phoenix, Arizona. He was one of the more than 6,000 people killed while walking in America in 2018. In the last ten years, there has been a 50 percent increase in pedestrian deaths. The tragedy of traffic violence has barely registered with the media and wider culture. Disproportionately the victims are like Duarte-Rodriguez—immigrants, the poor, and people of color. They have largely been blamed and forgotten. In Right of Way, journalist Angie Schmitt shows us that deaths like Duarte-Rodriguez’s are not unavoidable “accidents.” They don’t happen because of jaywalking or distracted walking. They are predictable, occurring in stark geographic patterns that tell a story about systemic inequality. These deaths are the forgotten faces of an increasingly urgent public-health crisis that we have the tools, but not the will, to solve. Schmitt examines the possible causes of the increase in pedestrian deaths as well as programs and movements that are beginning to respond to the epidemic. Her investigation unveils why pedestrians are dying—and she demands action. Right of Way is a call to reframe the problem, acknowledge the role of racism and classism in the public response to these deaths, and energize advocacy around road safety. Ultimately, Schmitt argues that we need improvements in infrastructure and changes to policy to save lives. Right of Way unveils a crisis that is rooted in both inequality and the undeterred reign of the automobile in our cities. It challenges us to imagine and demand safer and more equitable cities, where no one is expendable.

Forget the 10,000 hour rule— what if it’s possible to learn the basics of any new skill in 20 hours or less? Take a moment to consider how many things you want to learn to do. What’s on your list? What’s holding you back from getting started? Are you worried about the time and effort it takes to acquire new skills—time you don’t have and effort you can’t spare? Research suggests it takes 10,000 hours to develop a new skill. In this nonstop world when will you ever find that much time and energy? To make matters worse, the early hours of practicing something new are always the most frustrating. That’s why it’s difficult to learn how to speak a new language, play an instrument, hit a golf ball, or shoot great photos. It’s so much easier to watch TV or surf the web . . . In The First 20 Hours, Josh Kaufman offers a systematic approach to rapid skill acquisition— how to learn any new skill as quickly as possible. His method shows you how to deconstruct complex skills, maximize productive practice, and remove common learning barriers. By completing just 20 hours of focused, deliberate practice you’ll go from knowing absolutely nothing to performing noticeably well. Kaufman personally field-tested the methods in this book. You’ll have a front row seat as he develops a personal yoga practice, writes his own web-based computer programs, teaches himself to touch type on a nonstandard keyboard, explores the oldest and most complex board game in history, picks up the ukulele, and learns how to windsurf. Here are a few of the simple techniques he teaches: Define your target performance level: Figure out what your desired level of skill looks like, what you’re trying to achieve, and what you’ll be able to do when you’re done. The more specific, the better. Deconstruct the skill: Most of the things we think of as skills are actually bundles of smaller subskills. If you break down the subcomponents, it’s easier to figure out which ones are most important and practice those first. Eliminate barriers to practice: Removing common distractions and unnecessary effort makes it much easier to sit down and focus on deliberate practice. Create fast feedback loops: Getting accurate, real-time information about how well you’re performing during practice makes it much easier to improve. Whether you want to paint a portrait, launch a start-up, fly an airplane, or juggle flaming chainsaws, The First 20 Hours will help you pick up the basics of any skill in record time . . . and have more fun along the way.

This book is devoted to a task, which few of us undertake with relish, yet must do at least once in our lifetimes: finding the right career position. Like it or not, we are all compelled by one force or another to work, earn wages and be productive.Some persons are fortunate in that they do not have to rely entirely on their vocation for financial support. Others are not compensated well enough to live without some sort of governmental or charitable assistance, even though they work at a full-time job. For the sake of simplicity, the focus of this book will be on the majority of Americans, who fall into neither of the categories listed above, but rather the middle-class and middle-income wage earner.Make no mistake: there is no foolproof method which one can employ in the effort of locating an appropriate job. And there is indeed a wide range of books available on the subjectsome factual and cold, others fanciful and taking a Zen-like approach to the matter at hand. Yet there has seldom been a common-sense guide to the art of job-hunting, if it can indeed be called that; it could more appropriately be called a craft, since it is a talent which must be developed and cultivated, and not an inherent gift. Hopefully this book will change that sad circumstance.
