Hillary Clinton's "What Happened" had a big debut.

Clinton's book Stivali Ugg Classic Cardy Sweater Alti 5819 Neri , about her stunning presidential election loss in 2016 to Donald Trump, sold more than 300,000 copies in the combined formats of hardcover, e-book and audio, Simon & Schuster told The Associated Press on Wednesday.

The book's hardcover sales of 168,000 were the highest opening for any nonfiction release in five years Stivali Ugg Classic Mini 5854 Chestnut , according to NPD BookScan, which tracks around 85 percent of retail print sales. Mark Owen's "No Easy Day," a 2012 memoir about the killing of Osama bin Laden, sold more than 250,000 copies in its first week.

Sales for "What Happened" far exceeded the first-week numbers of more than 100,000 copies for Clinton's book about her years as secretary of state, "Hard Choices," which came out in 2014 as she was preparing to launch her run for president. "What Happened" has been at or near the top of the Amazon best-seller list since its publication Sept. 12 despite a suspicious early wave of negative reader reviews Stivali Ugg Classic Mini 5854 Grigi , likely posted by commentators who had not read the book and later pulled by Amazon.

"The remarkable response to 'What Happened' indicates that, notwithstanding all that has been written and discussed over the last year, there is clearly an overwhelming desire among readers to learn about and experience, from Hillary Clinton's singular perspective, the historic events of the 2016 election," Simon & Schuster CEO Carolyn Reidy said in a statement. "In its candor and immediacy Stivali Ugg Classic Mini 5854 Neri , 'What Happened' is satisfying that demand."

Clinton's all-time opening was for her memoir, "Living History," a 2003 release that included her first extended comments on the affair between her husband, President Bill Clinton, and White House intern Monica Lewinsky. "Living History" sold more than 600,000 copies in its first week and came out before the rise of e-books and before the collapse of the Borders superstore chain and the struggles of Barnes & Noble weakened the hardcover market.

Clinton Stivali Ugg Classic Bassi 5825 Chestnut , a Democrat, had promised to let her "guard down" for her first book to come out when she was neither in government nor seeking office. Responses to "What Happened," as with so much of Clinton's political career, have varied widely. Some contended that it was time to "move on" from the elections. Others countered that as the first woman nominated by a major political party she had a vital story to tell and an audience eager to hear about it. Reviewers have called "What Happened" everything from boring and self-serving to revelatory and poignant.

On Oct. 1, "What Happened" will debut at No. 1 on The New York Times' best-seller lists for hardcover and for combined e-book and hardcover. According to Simon & Schuster, the book set a company record for weekly digital audio sales and sold more e-book editions in a week than any nonfiction release from the publisher since Walter Isaacson's biography of Steve Jobs in 2011.

MELBOURNE Stivali Ugg Classic Bassi 5825 Grigi , Aug. 27 (Xinhua) -- Schools in Australia have embarked on a radical plan to ditch maths textbooks following recent statistics showing students are falling behind other nations.

Fairfax Media reported on Thursday that schools in the state of Victoria were using a range of new techniques to reverse Australia' s steady decline in the subject of maths.

Some of these bold new methods included: throwing out textbooks to unshackle student learning, encouraging students to create there own maths formulas to foster greater understanding and moving away from the reciting of times tables.

Other techniques trialled by schools around the state involved merging year levels for maths classes allowing students to tailor their learning based on their academic ability, and giving maths " real world" appeal by using skills to track and analyze the share market.

The latest National Assessment Program for Literacy and Numeracy (NAPLAN) results, released earlier this month, found no significant improvement in the subject by Australian students since it began testing in 2008.

Australia ranked fifth out of Organization for Economic Co- operation and Development (OECD) aligned countries in maths in 2003, but by 2012 had slipped to 17th. "We have to lift our game across the board Stivali Ugg Classic Bassi 5825 Neri ,"Australia's Chief Scientist, who provides high-level independent advice to the government on matters relating to science, technology and innovation, professor Ian Chubb, told Fairfax media on Thursday.

Chubb said vast student improvement in maths, along with other STEM - science Stivali Ugg Classic Alti 5815 Marroni , technology, engineering and maths -- subjects, was needed if Australia was to remain globally competitive.

The Australian government estimates 75 percent of the country's fastest growing industries involve STEM skills.

It s winter tailgating. The game is indoors, but the tailgating isn?t; and the average high temperature in February could be 36 degrees or colder. That?s darned cold. Dressing the part for cold weather is critical, no matter where you?re tailgating.

The main cold weather danger is hypothermia, especially among older people whose skin is less sensitive to the cold so they don?t see signs of exposure to dangerously cold temperatures. If anyone at your tailgate experiences violent shivering Stivali Ugg Classic Alti 5815 Neri , stops shivering, has slow breathing with a slow pulse and seems confused, take them to a warm place and call for medical help.
