Gender Talk: The Struggle For Women's Equality in African American Communities Overview

In the Black community, rape, violence against women, and sexual harassment are as much the legacy of slavery as is racism. In Gender Talk Johnnetta Betsch Cole and Beverly Guy-Sheftall argue powerfully that the only way to defeat this legacy is to focus on the intersection of race and gender.

Examining why the “race problem” has become so male-centered and how this has opened a deep divide between Black women and men, the authors turn to their own lives, offering intimate accounts of their experiences as daughters, wives, and leaders. They examine pivotal moments in African American history when race and gender issues collided with explosive results. Along the way, they present the testimonies of a large and influential group of Black women and men, including Byllye Avery, Derrick A. Bell, Farai Chideya, Kimberlé Crenshaw, Michael Eric Dyson, Marcia Gillespie, bell hooks, and Faye Wattleton. Fearless and eye-opening, Gender Talk is required reading for anyone concerned with the future of African American women—and men.

Tales From the Titans Sideline Overview

"The National Football League in Nashville, Tennessee? It’ll never happen." That’s what they used to say. These days, it's hard to imagine the Music City without the Titans. Much has happened since the Houston Oilers packed up and left Texas for Tennessee following the 1996 season. NFL fans in Nashville had to remain patient. Finally, in 1999, the team moved into the city’s downtown stadium, and the winning began. The Titans have been making history ever since. Clearly, it was all worth the wait.

Jim Wyatt’s Tales from the Titans Sideline takes readers from the early days in Nashville all the way to the present. It reviews the highs and lows of the team—and the players—the city has grown to love over the years. Fans remember the way the Coliseum shook after the "Music City Miracle" and the heartbreaking finish to Super Bowl XXXIV. Those are among the most memorable moments in the franchise’s history that are included in the book.

Readers have the chance to find out more about players like quarterback Steve McNair, running back Eddie George, and defensive end Jevon Kearse, all of whom quickly became household names in Tennessee. Coach Jeff Fisher has overseen it all. He managed to keep his team together during the move from the Astrodome to the Liberty Bowl to Vanderbilt Stadium to the Coliseum, keeping the winning ways going through the twists and turns.

Tales from the Titans Sideline takes a look at more than just the wins and losses, however. It also provides fans with behind-the-scenes stories surrounding the team, exploring both the lighter and serious sides. What does McNair do to get ready for games? Why is kicker Joe Nedney not welcome in Pittsburgh? Why are birthdays so hush-hush on the Titans? Tales from the Titans Sideline will answer all of those questions and many more.

Wholesale Dyson Vacuum Cleaners - A Step Above Its Competitors With A Cyclonic Separation Component

Based in Great Britain, the Dyson Company is the manfacturer of wholesale Dyson vacuum cleaners. It was the cyclonic separation component of the vacuum that set it about from it's competitors. Cyclonic separation is the systematic process of removing particles from the air stream of a vacuum cleaner without the use of the customary filters. James Dyson is the minds behind this operation, and in addition to the popular whole Dyson vacuum cleaners, Mr. Dyson also created a wildly popular bagless dual vacuum cleaner and the Dyson Root Cyclone under the popular Dyson trademark.

After growing tired of having to replace the dust bag in his home vacuum, even when the bag was no where capacity, James decided to use his knowledge of centrifugal particle separation to give the world's vacuum cleaner a much needed facelift. The first Dyson vacuum cleaner found it's way to the market in 1983. The G-Force Dyson vacuum even went on to take top honors at the 1991 International Design Fair in Japan. Dyson himself face starch criticism amongst larger vacuum cleaner corporations-no one would license his invention. But his '91 win in Japan gave him the confidence, and the cash, that he needed to license his creation on his merits. In 1993, James Dyson opened the Dyson Company, complete with a research facility and a manufacturing facility in the Southern English County of Wiltshire.

Wholesale Dyson Vacuum Cleaners

The Dyson family of vacuum cleaners entered an newly evened playing field with the Dual Cyclone (DC) 01 as the first machine to roll off of the assembly line, affectionately dubbed the "upright model." The DC01 vacuum featured the power of suckling strong suction, the ability to pick up particles like cigarette smoke, and a trademark transparent dust canister. This ability to see dirt as it built up in the clear plastic canister was the Dual Cyclone's distinguishing feature. The DC01 became the best selling vacuum cleaner in the United Kingdom.

By the time the Dyson company got around to the second installment of the Dual Cyclone, the signature cyclone system was carefully patented. The DC02 came complete with a extendable hose designed to cut around corners and other objects, the machine's rear pedal pulls the retractable hose back in. In 2004, Dyson was going strong in a market that literally "sucks," it seemed the perfect time to add a recreation of the original Dual Cyclone to the burgeoning line of wholesale Dyson vacuum cleaners. The Dual Cleaner 14 showcased Dyson's exclusive Root Eight Cyclone Technology, a system that has continued to be prevalent in the machines the company manufactures. Four versions of the DC14 was placed on the market:

· The Standard

· The All Floors

· The Allergy

· The Animal

The Dual Cyclone 15 made it's world debut in 2005. This time around the DC was nicknamed "The Ball" because it makes via a ball rather than a wheel. The machine is also characterized by the ability to steer it with a simple twisting of the head left of right. In late 2006, the Dyson Company released two Dual Cyclone models, the DC17 and the DC18 Slim. The DC17 will spend it's time in America being purchased exclusively from Best Buy locations. The DC18 Slim features a tinier profile than it's Dual Cyclone predecessors, this vacuum cleaner features six cyclones.
