Book excerpt: These reminiscences are an intimate account of Mila Rechcgls saga, his fascinating life, his varied and successful professional career, and his highly visible public life, encompassing some fifty years, since the earliest childhood in a small hamlet in northeastern rural Bohemia to his government career in the Worlds Capital, Washington, DC and spending his retirement years in active scholarship and voluntary work for non-profit organizations. He views his life as a chess game, in which he confronts various challenges head-on, usually ending with a checkmate in his favor. He describes his idyllic youth at family mill, in an area known as Bohemian paradise, talks fondly of his parents and grandparents, the time he spent in a one-class rural school, followed by eight years in gymnasium in Mlada Boleslav, four during the Nazi occupation of Czechoslovakia and four in the post-War era under the communist threat. After successful escape from communist Czechoslovakia, he immigrates to America, spending his greenhorn years in New York City, working in a glass jewelry factory. He gets a scholarship, is accepted by a prestigious Ivy League school (Cornell) and with skimpy English manages getting his bachelors degree in biochemistry in two and half years, followed by Masters and Ph.D. Gets hired by the National Institutes of Health in Bethesda where he conducts some pioneering research on enzyme turnover and later is offered training in science policy and administration, leading to his appointment as Special Assistant for Nutrition and Health, and later is put in charge of research at the US State Departments Agency for International Development. Beyond the call of duty, he publishes numerous books and in his spare time, devotes energies to organizing an international Czechoslovak Society of Arts and Sciences into a first-class institution and does premier research on immigration history.

Download or read book Minor Histories written by Mike Kelley and published by MIT Press. This book was released on 2004-02-06 with total page 468 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The second volume of writings by Los Angeles artist Mike Kelley, focusing on his own work. What John C. Welchman calls the "blazing network of focused conflations" from which Mike Kelley's styles are generated is on display in all its diversity in this second volume of the artist's writings. The first volume, Foul Perfection, contained thematic essays and writings about other artists; this collection concentrates on Kelley's own work, ranging from texts in "voices" that grew out of scripts for performance pieces to expository critical and autobiographical writings.Minor Histories organizes Kelley's writings into five sections. "Statements" consists of twenty pieces produced between 1984 and 2002 (most of which were written to accompany exhibitions), including "Ajax," which draws on Homer, Colgate- Palmolive, and Longinus to present its eponymous hero; "Some Aesthetic High Points," an exercise in autobiography that counters the standard artist bio included in catalogs and press releases; and a sequence of "creative writings" that use mass cultural tropes in concert with high art mannerisms—approximating in prose the visual styles that characterize Kelley's artwork. "Video Statements and Proposals" are introductions to videos made by Kelley and other artists, including Paul McCarthy and Bob Flanagan and Sheree Rose. "Image-Texts" offers writings that accompany or are part of artworks and installations. This section includes "A Stopgap Measure," Kelley's zestful millennial essay in social satire, and "Meet John Doe," a collage of appropriated texts. "Architecture" features an discussion of Kelley's Educational Complex (1995) and an interview in which he reflects on the role of architecture in his work. Finally, "Ufology" considers the aesthetics and sexuality of space as manifested by UFO sightings and abduction scenarios.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Writing has taken over my life.. in a good way. My thoughts continually are geared towards my next song. Sometimes I get a few lines in my head when I am driving and I have to pull over the car and write them down! No matter where I am, I get the urge to write. I could be talking to a neighbor, or be in the middle of mass at church and a word or phrase will pop into my head and whoa! -a new song is born! More than anything I love, love, love, the peace of mind songwriting allows me to have. Most of my lyrics take me 15 to 30 minutes to write. There was a time when I was writing 6-8 lyrics in a day. Sometimes I would sit there and stare at my pencil asking why did you stop? I swear at times the pencil kept moving like I wasnt even thinking of what to write. This is my first edition. I hope to continue with future editions as I am still writing new songs everyday. Someday I hope to put my lyrics to my own music and I recently started taking piano lessons. Hey, we all know life is a learning process; a learning curve, we need to experience the turns with the ride! I wish you all success with this book and look forward to seeing some of you with me when it comes to award times!

Download or read book Through Death Into Life Everlasting written by Dr. Wes Ellis, ThD and published by Covenant Books, Inc.. This book was released on 2022-06-02 with total page 101 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In all likelihood, most of us wonder about the end of life here, how to be ready when it comes, and what the future holds. We hear all sorts of answers from many sources, from wild to probable. Many people believe that heaven is a place where all the good go after we die, so “You’d better watch out, you’d better not cry,” and that heaven is everlasting and to be much preferred over the alternative—hell. Consider this question: What seems to have been God’s primary purpose for heaven? One answer would be that He wants to populate it with human beings who are most like His Son, Jesus Christ. But how could that be accomplished? My thoughts on the broad subject of death come from knowing Jesus and walking with Him for about seventy-eight years. I came to know Him as a child, having heard His call upon my life. Our conversations along the way led me to give Him my best in training my mind and heart, in practical service through several open doors, through marriage and family, through struggles and accomplishments, through many sorrows and sicknesses, and through years of disability and retirement. Like old Apostle John who learned so much from the Risen Lord in his long life, I believe that He has laid some things upon my heart that must be shared. Hence, this book. Here, you will find insights that may correct things you’ve always believed, give help with understanding, or learn approaches that you never considered, pricks of conscience, or just delightful affirmations. Here are a few of the ideas you’ll find here: Where does it start...and end? The eternal “now” The Eternal One—not three “Let there be,” and there is—but only if!” Creation and development When you became only “a mortal” God who keeps speaking—“Why don’t you answer?” First death and resurrection and Second death and resurrection The sin that God can’t forgive “Through death into life everlasting, He leads” “He leads, and we follow Him there.” Heaven or hell or an alternative? Sin’s consequences before Abram Mansions Ritual or relationship? The startling paradigm shift How the Word becomes personal. Being at home in heaven What if there’s a stalemate? How to know for sure Here and now with me as though He is nowhere else He loves you intensely! “Always”—the victory habit and more. Blessings! —Brother Wes
Download or read book Poor Lofdoc S Almanac written by Lofdoc (Lots of Fishing Doc) and published by AuthorHouse. This book was released on 2016-06-25 with total page 227 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A humble and grateful confession! Many months ago, when I had completed and had published my third book, Lofdocs Stories: Short and Sweet, with the subtitle An Octogenarians Oracles, I was asked the question Will this, your third book, be your final contribution to the world of literature? I responded by saying, I would love to continue exploring new vistas, but the laws of nature will always have the final say; after all, I am eighty-nine years old. Well, now, the rest of the story. I guess I am no different than anyone else; after all, we are all birds of a feather, are we not? When the mountain climber was asked Why do you climb mountains? his answer was Because it is there. And so it is with me. I write because I am still here. But I confess that I reverently hope that I would still be around to continue to tell you the rest of my stories. So yes, dear reader, I have poured many hours of pure joy into this, my fourth book. There are stories titled Crying Out in the Wilderness, The Ten Armed Swimmer, Quackery, The Sand Dollar, Treasures of a Nursing Home, etc. I have tried to be accurate, sincere, and entertaining. I have given you a new world of thoughts and remembrances that you will hopefully embrace and enjoy. I sincerely believe this, my fourth volume, represents the best of all my lifetime literary efforts. I hope you will embrace and enjoy my little stories as much as I have loved writing them. I now give you Lofdocs fourth book. Oh, by the way, perhaps you might want to know about my use of the name Lofdoc as my pseudonym. No secret. I love fishing, so Lots of Fishing Doc. Yes, I am a retired doctor of medicine. I had practiced medicine (solo) for over thirty years in Ohio. I now devote most of my time caring for my medically wounded angel, my wife of sixty-five years.

Download or read book Monument Eternal written by Franya J. Berkman and published by Wesleyan University Press. This book was released on 2012-08-07 with total page 160 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Long-awaited biography of an African American avant-garde composer Alice Coltrane was a composer, improviser, guru, and widow of John Coltrane. Over the course of her musical life, she synthesized a wide range of musical genres including gospel, rhythm-and-blues, bebop, free jazz, Indian devotional song, and Western art music. Her childhood experiences playing for African-American congregations in Detroit, the ecstatic and avant-garde improvisations she performed on the bandstand with her husband John Coltrane, and her religious pilgrimages to India reveal themselves on more than twenty albums of original music for the Impulse and Warner Brothers labels. In the late 1970s Alice Coltrane became a swami, directing an alternative spiritual community in Southern California. Exploring her transformation from Alice McLeod, Detroit church pianist and bebopper, to guru Swami Turiya Sangitananda, Monument Eternal illuminates her music and, in turn, reveals the exceptional fluidity of American religious practices in the second half of the twentieth century. Most of all, this book celebrates the hybrid music of an exceptional, boundary-crossing African-American artist.
