Bøger af Paris Hilton

***An Instant New York Times Bestseller***From the woman who is credited for launching what we know as the celebrity focused, ?brand? driven, social media obsessed popular culture of today, comes an honest and surprising memoir that reckons with that truth, and shows that there is so much more to Paris Hilton than you might believe.I was born in New York City on February 17, 1981, three days after Valentine's Day. From the time I was a toddler, my brain skipped and flickered with the chemical imbalance of ADHD. Sometimes it was too much.I'm not bragging or complaining about it, just telling you: This is my brain. It has a lot to do with how this whole book thing is going to play out, because I love run-on sentences?and dashes. And sentence fragments. I'm probably going to jump around a lot while I tell the story.I came of age during the most turbulent pop culture period ever.The character I played?part Lucy, part Marilyn?was my steel-plated armor.People loved her. Or they loved to hate her, which was just as marketable. I leaned into that character, my ticket to financial freedom and a safe place to hide. I made sure I never had a quiet moment to figure out who I was without her. I was afraid of that moment because I didn't know what I'd find.I wrote this book in an effort to understand my place in a watershed moment: the technology renaissance, the age of influencers. I also wrote this book so that the world could know who I am today. I focused on key aspects of my life that led to what I am most proud of--how my power was taken away from me and how I took it back, how I built a thriving business, a marriage and a family.There are so many young women who need to hear this story. I don't want them to learn from my mistakes; I want them to stop hating themselves for their own mistakes. I want them to laugh and cry and embrace every aspect of who they are with fearlessness and pride. We all have our own brand of intelligence, and, girl, fuck fitting in.

Paraplegia refers to an impairment in sensory or motor function of the lower extremities. It is commonly caused by congenital condition or spinal cord injury, which impacts the neural elements of the spinal canal. The area of the spinal canal which is influenced by paraplegia mainly covers lumbar, thoracic or sacral regions. Individuals with paraplegia can have wide range of disabilities, which require different treatments. The goal of rehabilitation is to assist the patient in regaining as much independence and functionality as possible. Physiotherapy can benefit in improving stretching, range of motion, transfer and strength skills. Majority of paraplegics are reliant on a wheelchair for their transportation. Activities of daily living (ADLs) can be difficult initially for persons having a spinal cord injury (SCI). Individuals having SCI may learn new skills and adapt old ones with the help of occupational therapists and physiotherapists, helping them to live self-sufficiently in the community. The topics covered in this book offer the readers new insights on the clinical characteristics, prevalence and treatment outcomes of paraplegia. Those in search of information to further their knowledge will be greatly assisted by it.
