The Apparitional Lesbian





In essays on literary images of lesbianism from Defoe and Diderot to Virginia Woolf and Djuna Barnes, on the homosexual reputation of Marie Antoinette, on the lesbian writings of Anne Lister, Sylvia Townsend Warner, and Janet Flanner, and on Henry James's The Bostonians, Castle shows how a lesbian presence can be identified in the literature, history, and culture of the past three centuries.

FROM JAY MCGRAW, THE NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLING AUTHOR OF LIFE STRATEGIES FOR TEENS, COMES A WORKBOOK CHOCK-FULL OF QUIZZES, TESTS, AND QUESTIONS TO HELP YOU FIGURE OUT WHO YOU ARE AND WHERE YOU ARE GOING.< /b>

So who are you? Are you the Teacher's Pet? The Slacker? The Jock? Do you let yourself be labeled by terms like these because it's easy, because you dress a certain way or listen to a certain rock band? Do you act the way you think others expect you to? Here's a more important question: Who are you really?

Jay McGraw's New York Times bestseller Life Strategies for Teens shows teens that Life Strategies are not just something for their parents, but that teens can use them to take over the driver's seat and steer their own lives as well. Jay speaks to teens as equals, and gives them the straight story he knows and has been through himself.

Now with the Life Strategies for Teens Workbook, Jay McGraw has created a fun-filled companion book to help teens work their way through the Life Strategies, and, in turn, through those tumultuous years between playing like a kid and acting as an adult. In the Workbook, Jay introduces a variety of entertaining quizzes, activities, and questions to help teens better answer the question of who they are. From figuring out the roles they play to determining the things they want to change about their lives, this is the perfect guide to showing teens the power of the Life Strategies, as well as the power of their own lives.Do you have zero control over your life? What are your frustrations? Do you lead a lazy lifestyle? To help teens take charge of their lives, Jay McGraw has created a companion workbook to his bestselling Lif e Strategies for Teens. The workbook is based on 10 "Life Laws" (adapted from his father Phillip C. McGraw's tenets), and is designed to help teens "see your life clearly, to understand what the problems are, what you need to fix, change, get rid of, etc." He encourages readers to put their thoughts, ideas, and dreams into writing to help them through the process. (The workbook is meant to be written in.) He demands that his readers ask themselves hard questions about missed opportunities, perceptions, self-sabotage, and personal shortcomings so they can figure out what's not working and fix it. Why? So that they can turn dreams into goals--with specific timelines and strategies. Here you'll find a variety of quizzes, activities, and questions to help teens answer the question "Who am I?" For example, McGraw asks readers to list 10 times they've dropped the ball--and why. Or, conversely, to list their 15 best achievements to date. The workbook also contains questions designed to challenge assumptions, such as "What are things you automatically, reactively feel and believe about members of the opposi te sex/teachers/parents?" A hardcore guide to removing obstacles from our lives, Life Strategies for Teens Workbook has all the compassion of a drill sergeant... one who knows what's good for you. (Ages 13 and older)

How Investing Makes Your Money Work Harder

With inflation’s 3.41% price increases compounding year after year, figuring your expenses produces some galactic numbers. Sadly, you can’t choose whether to accept the compounding of inflation. But what if you could use compounding to inflate the money you save? It turns out that you can, by investing your money and reinvesting all your earnings. You can choose the compounding of the returns you earn on your money, so it’s important to understand just how powerful this strategy is. True, investment returns aren’t as steady as the inflation rate. Some years are better than others, and some years are downright dogs. But for now, assume that your investments increase 7% each year (that’s the return most financial planners tell their clients they can expect on a diversified investment portfolio). Say you se ed a retirement account with ,000, as the table below shows. If you earn 7% the first year, you’ll have ,700 at the end of the year. The second year, you earn 9 (7% on ,700) and end up with ,449. If you earn 7% each year for 40 years (from the time you start working until you retire), you’d have almost 0,000! That’s 0,000 of earnings on a single ,000 investment.



On the other hand, what if you invested ,000 and earned 7%, but withdrew each year’s earnings? (That return is called simple interest, because you earn the same amount on your original investment each year.) You’d earn 0 each year for 40 years, for total earnings of ,000 on your original ,000 investment. By letting your investment returns compound, your total earnings are five times what you’d earn with simple interest. The graph below shows how your nest egg grows like wildfire when you let your earnings compound.



Compounding is a powerful force, even when the rate is small, as you’ve seen with inflation. But this technique really shines when you earn higher returns, like the 7% from a diversified portfolio, and give your portfolio time to mature. The graph below shows how a ,000 nest egg grows when you put your money in diversified investments, bonds, money market funds, and savings accounts. Compare the line for inflation to see how investing can help you beat the steady rise in prices. You can see how investments start to take off after 15 years. That’s compounding at work, and that’s why it’s important to start investing for long-term goals as early as you can.



Investing for the Long Term

Although well-diversified investing works like magic when you give it time, it doesn’t make sense for short-term goals. That’s because you hav e to accept some risk to earn higher returns. Investments in the stock market can decrease during a single year--and do so every several years. The good news is that the risk of losing money decreases the longer you keep your money invested (think decades). During recessions, the stock market can really tank, like the almost 50% drop it suffered in 2001. You wouldn’t want to see half your nest egg go away the year before you retire. However, since 1929, the average annual return on stocks is more than 11% despite battering from the Great Depression and several recessions. Besides, a diversified portfolio isn’t invested solely in the stock market, as you’ll learn in Chapter 9. By investing in stocks, bonds, and real estate, you won’t see drops as big as the ones for stocks alone. Chapters 9, 10, and 11 also tell you how to move money that you need in the next few year s into ultrasafe savings so it’s around when you need it. Lots of folks would rather be certain of having a small amount of money than worry about whether a large nest egg might falter right when they need it. You might think that putting money into a guaranteed money market account means you won’t lose money. Think again. If your money doesn’t keep up with inflation, you lose buying power, which is the same as losing money.
