Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: One of the only government officials in pre-Communist Tibet to have been educated in English recounts the pivotal events that changed his homeland, and the fate of his people, forever. Rinchen Sadutshang was born in 1928 near the Tibet-China border to a well-off trading family, educated in a Jesuit school in the Himalayan foothills of British India, and served in the Dalai Lama’s government both before and after the 1959 Communist takeover of Lhasa. A refugee alongside tens of thousands of his countrymen, he played a crucial role in bringing the plight of the Tibetan people to the world’s attention. In this memoir, published just months after his passing in July of 2015, the author recounts his long, fascinating career in service to the Tibetan cause. From meeting British viceroy Lord Waverly in India and General Chiang Kai-shek in China in 1946 to being part of the delegation that successfully pled Tibet’s case before the United Nations in the 1960s, he offers a first-hand perspective on a number of memorable historical events.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Your Guide to Financial Security In Money Management Mindset, author Dennis Bielik begins with an analogy. In the board game of Life, players spin a wheel, which determines how fast or slow they move through spaces that represent various life activities, such as college, jobs, marriage, and children. Players may move quickly or slowly, depending on where the spinner lands. When it comes to a first job, salary is determined by choosing a card at random. Players might land on a space with an unexpected event—some spaces benefit your life, and others set you back. The great thing about this board game is you can play it more than once. You learn to create a strategy and improve your chances to win. Real life, of course, gives you only one chance. However, we make our own choices about these events rather than rolling dice or drawing cards. Even more importantly, you can create a financial strategy that will help you manage expected landmarks like marriage, children, and work. There are also strategies on how to handle unexpected events, such as job loss, divorce, and illness. You can learn ways to assess what you dream, want, and need, so that your life and those of your loved ones are as secure as you can make them. This book will help anyone understand how to plan for life and be financially prepared for both the expected and the unexpected.
Download or read book My Own Directions written by Sheldon Epps and published by McFarland. This book was released on 2022-09-13 with total page 197 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Life in the theatre is often a rollercoaster ride, with all the excitement and occasional anguish that come with the highs and lows. The author's journey in the American theatre has been amplified by his experience as a Black man who has frequently been "one of the few," "the first" or even "the only." His directing career has been full of rewards and opportunities as well as huge challenges and frustrations, along with the anger that has come from being "chased by race" for so many years. Much of the author's experience comes from two decades artistic director of Pasadena Playhouse, one of the oldest and well-known theatres in America, and for a time early in his career, one of the whitest. This is the story of how the author came into leadership at Pasadena Playhouse after a successful career directing on Broadway, in London and all over the world. It relates how the theatre was radically changed and reignited by his leadership, including his insistence on making diversity a priority onstage and off. This is the very personal story of a person who wanted his race to be recognized, but never used as a reason to be less than fully respected. In many ways, this memoir tells the story of what people of color in America must face repeatedly to make their lives matter.
