Download or read book Memories of a Swing Maker written by Rhadames De Leon and published by Xlibris Corporation. This book was released on 2011-09-01 with total page 352 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Of the many books I have read, none has impressed me so much as this one. Its chapters are impressing; the graphic and objective stories about the experience of the author as a correction officer for the state of NY, make him worthy of the most demanding reader, especially, those agents in the service of law and order. The author describes amazing, as well as interesting anecdotes of inmates. They are anecdotes worthy of historical value for their realism and accuracy. These stories will be an excellent material for the scholars of sociology and human behavior. Dorian Polanco I recommend this work to any agent of the law; likewise, to any other reader who will enjoy its descriptive content. Ray Deleon extracts from his prodigious mind, reminiscent events that have been treasured in his memories for decades which he relates unreservedly. They are wonderful descriptions of his life experience in the prisons he has worked as a correctional officer, that will leave the avid reader thirsty for the spectacular narrative. Dr. Alvin Bridgewater Without proposing it, by the excellence and realism of its content Memories of a Swing Maker is an inexhaustible source for radio and television series. One does not have to be so genial to peruse chapters and scenes of this work in dozens of exciting episodes, for this in one of the most faithful portraits of our daily life, worthy of being noted as a route letter and procedural manual for those who emigrate to USA, hopeful in reaching the great American Dream. Jos Oscar Fernndez Journalist and Writer Some had to leave. Others wanted to leave. Rhadams had an anxiety to leave. He believed that in the USA he could make his dreams come true. He benefited from the opportunities; he was worthy of them, responding as an exemplary citizen. This is the story of the realization of his dream: The American Dream. Kim Sanchez

Download or read book MEMORIES OF WORLD WAR II VETS written by A. J. BROWN and published by AuthorHouse. This book was released on 2011-10-11 with total page 617 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Many of the vets I interviewed asked me why I was interested in World War II. I never forgot when Pearl Harbor was attacked. I was five years old and standing at the end of the kitchen counter next to the black art deco style radio. The announcer was very loud and excited but I didn’t know what he was talking about. My mother was at the other end of the counter standing in front of the kitchen sink washing a dish. All of a sudden she turned off the water and came over to stand in front of the radio. I had never seen a look on her face like that before. She called my dad to come here. Both of them stood in front of the radio with these shocked and unbelieving faces! I never forgot that experience. We next went to Sunday school and church and I remember all of the adults were talking to each other in low tones with stunned looks on their faces.

Download or read book Difference Makers written by M. Scott Boren and published by Baker Books. This book was released on 2013-06-15 with total page 194 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Christians want to make a difference, but sometimes the ministry bar is raised so high that only those who are "go-getters" can do it. Mission work can look like a drastic life change, unattainable to those who aren't in full-time ministry. So the average church member is left without a mission. Pastor and author M. Scott Boren shows how ordinary Christians can make a huge impact through their everyday lives. Boren teaches church members how to make a difference for God where they are. At work. With friends. In the neighborhood. Mission work doesn't need to be a life-altering event. It can be simply living a life that honors Jesus and points others to him.

Book excerpt: The exciting conclusion to K. J. Parker's Scavenger trilogy. Returning to his childhood home was supposed to bring peace for Poldarn. But it was not to be. The island proved no sanctuary from the ghosts of his past, or from the demons that stalk his dreams. Instead, he has unearthed yet more lies, betrayals, and enemies from his former life. But with each fresh discovery, Poldarn is coming ever closer to the reality of his shadowy origins. One by one, the fragmented memories and obscure clues are falling into place, forming a truth he cannot escape, a past he cannot deny, and a history that may be more than he -- or anyone else -- can bear.

Download or read book Erasing Memory written by Scott Thornley and published by House of Anansi. This book was released on 2018-06-26 with total page 291 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The heart-pounding first installment of the MacNeice Mysteries, featuring a sophisticated detective solving the horrific murder of a beautiful young violinist — perfect for fans of Peter Robinson’s Alan Banks series. Detective Superintendent MacNeice is returning from a pilgrimage to his wife’s grave when he’s called to a crime scene of singular and disturbing beauty. A young woman in evening dress lies gracefully posed on the floor of a pristine summer cottage so that the finger of one hand regularly interrupts the needle arm of a phonograph playing Schubert’s Piano Trio. The only visible mark on her is the bruise under her chin, which MacNeice recognizes: it is the mark that distinguishes dedicated violinists, the same mark that once graced his wife. The murder is both ingenious and horrific, and soon entangles MacNeice and his team in Eastern Europe’s ancient grievances...

Download or read book The Memory of Sound written by Seán Street and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2014-06-13 with total page 195 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book explores the connections between sound and memory across all electronic media, with a particular focus on radio. Street explores our capacity to remember through sound and how we can help ourselves preserve a sense of self through the continuity of memory. In so doing, he analyzes how the brain is triggered by the memory of programs, songs, and individual sounds. He then examines the growing importance of sound archives, community radio and current research using GPS technology for the history of place, as well as the potential for developing strategies to aid Alzheimer's and dementia patients through audio memory.

Download or read book Major League Hitting Answers from the Third Guarantee written by Alan Khoury and published by Dorrance Publishing. This book was released on 2024-01-15 with total page 147 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: About the Book “The outcome isn’t in doubt. These guys will hit. I’m life’s third guarantee.” – the Third Guarantee In your hands you hold the answers to hitting major league down/away pitches, off or over the open side power alley wall. You also hold the answers to driving in a runner on second base with two outs. There isn’t a talent shortage in major league baseball. There is a skills shortage; specifically, 6-9 hitters who can drive outside pitches and breaking balls away, off or over the open side power alley wall. Build the muscle memory associated with these two skill sets by: - Re-creating pitcher Release Point with variables controlled - Placing your batting tee on the inside edge or the outside edge of the plate during drills - Placing the batting tee on the outside edge of the plate even with your back knee - Using hands/hip swing mechanics to accelerate the bat head through outside Point of Contact In 2003 while working with the Third Guarantee, a 7-year major league veteran hitting .207 said, “No one has told me this. No one has showed me this. No one has told me to prepare this way. I’ve never seen this kind of instruction.” With 6 hours of instruction over 3 weekends, the 7-year veteran hit .276 the last 3 months of the season. He hit for more power, drove in more runs, and improved his walk to strikeout ratio. Struggling major league hitters don’t need this book if their muscle memory development includes the four above guidelines. About the Author Alan Khoury has offered the Third Guarantee’s answers to players, major league team executives, owners, and agents for 17 years. From day one of his offering efforts, none of these people said the provided information was incorrect. He now offers these answers to any struggling hitter.
