Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Que Sera Sera! (Whatever will be, will be) is a lyric written by Jay Livingston in the 1950s and put to song by Doris Day. In my research for an appropriate word navigator, I found Que Sera Sera the most appropriate idiom to drive the engine of this unique story of dog-eats-dog! In essence, Que Sera Sera is a realistic story built on the pilgrimage of a girl-child, Iforiti (persistence), through the stormy waters of this desperate world of masculinity. It is the expository narrative of the hazardous navigation of the ocean of this world that infant girls had to waddle-paddle through in post-independent Africa. Ironically, such inhuman practice has not died completely as it is still prevalent, despite the advent of the jet age of today's hybrid world. Que Sera Sera is the story of the betrayal by the African Fatherhood of their infant daughters as epitomized by the duo of Ifarotimi and Aaye. The duo fathers conspired against the Almighty God's will for parenthood protection, nurturing, guardianship, and mentoring of their offspring. The two devil-incarnate genealogical fathers subjected their God's precious jewelled daughters, Iforiti, Taiwo and Kehinde, to draconic enslavement of trade by barter to the marital graveyard. The novel reveals the complex intricacies that be-devilled the survivalist practice of polygamy in Africa: the do-or-die struggle amongst the antagonistic-enslaved wives in the prison harems of Ifaro and Aaye! Closely knitted to this warfare are the deadly surrealistic competitive roles played by the satellite's immediate family members to swerve the orbiting poly-family off course. Mama, Aaye's elder sister, is a classic toxic example of the African devilishness in the book. Notwithstanding, the central theme of the novel, Que Sera Sera, is embedded in the aphorism (whatever will be, will be). The book is anchored in the school of thought that human existence is pre-ordained by the Almighty creator-God-pre-destination in consequence, that a man's life is in the hands of fate - not that of any man! The duo fathers, Ifaro and Aaye, supra-usurped the function of the Almighty God by exploiting the gender vulnerability of the tender feminine creatures under their tutelage in exchange for their own selfish enterprise. Unfortunately for the fathers, they were thunderstruck by the karma law of: Whatever a man soweth, he will surely reap. The duos were squarely nailed on the cross of poverty. The embryonic girls, very early in life, had a strong faith in their invisible creator, God, through religiosity and their innate abilities. This monumental attachment was acquired through their foliage-acquaintances with their mother, by their speeches, hard work, dexterity and forth righteousness. This was an exhibition of thorough, bred-motherhood-mien, despite the aura of domineering male ego haunting their world! The sub-theme of curiosity was another competent tool that navigated the girls through the labyrinth of their life ocean! The girls were struck with curiosity virus, unravelling the veils covering the fountain of knowledge through education encompassed in books, slates, speeches, songs, Christian hymns etc. Another sub-theme is their choice of the Tripod Prism of Marshal Triangle "∆" project cum 3Gs which landed them triumphantly on the shores of their dream and future. Their guardianship motto: In God we live; In work, we forage In education, our future is guaranteed! Was pursued with vigor! Que Sera Sera became the paddling tools for the girls to navigate through the man-infested stormy waters of life. By implication, everyone's life, be you a boy or girl, is PRIMARILY in the hands of the Almighty God (Fate) and SECONDARILY in his or her own hands! Our Fate is, therefore, in our own naked hands!

Book excerpt: There are a few things in life which will always be important, and the most important things in that list are - You and Your Family. At every step of the way, the people who stand by you, no matter what the situation or how hard the situation is are you and your family, because no matter how silly or stupid your action may be, they will always always have your back. Self-love seems so often unrequited, but the truth is that to fall in love with yourself is the first secret to happiness - and happiness comes when you love yourself unconditionally, just as you love those closest to you despite their faults - like your family and the ones in your closest circle. The most important things in life are often misunderstood to be money and wealth, and everything that comes with it - but what good would any of those things be if you don't have your family or your nearest and dearest to share those moments with. Things may come and go, but the one thing that will remain the same till the end of time is the your family. Que Sera Sera is a book compiled by Aafreen Zafar, with 15 co-authors who talk about the importance of not just family and self-love, and making the world believe that the most important thing in the world is family and self-love because those are the things that matter.

If you want joy, love, romance, and hope—read with us." —Jenna Bush Hager A luminous, spirit-lifting blockbuster that asks: would you choose to find out the length of your life? Eight ordinary people. One extraordinary choice. It seems like any other day. You wake up, drink a cup of coffee, and head out. But today, when you open your front door, waiting for you is a small wooden box. The contents of this mysterious box tells you the exact number of years you will live. From suburban doorsteps to desert tents, every person on every continent receives the same box. In an instant, the world is thrust into a collective frenzy. Where did these boxes come from? What do they mean? Is there truth to what they promise? As society comes together and pulls apart, everyone faces the same shocking choice: Do they wish to know how long they’ll live? And, if so, what will they do with that knowledge? The Measure charts the dawn of this new world through an unforgettable cast of characters whose decisions and fates interweave with one another: best friends whose dreams are forever entwined, pen pals finding refuge in the unknown, a couple who thought they didn’t have to rush, a doctor who cannot save himself, and a politician whose box becomes the powder keg that ultimately changes everything. Enchanting and deeply uplifting, The Measure is an ambitious, invigorating story about family, friendship, hope, and destiny that encourages us to live life to the fullest.

Download or read book Doris Day written by Michael Feinstein and published by . This book was released on 2022-01-25 with total page 256 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: To commemorate the 100th anniversary of the birth of one of the most successful actresses and singers in the history of show business, Hermes Press is proud to announce the publication of DORIS DAY - IMAGES OF A HOLLYWOOD ICON, featuring rare and previously unpublished photographs from the late star's personal collection. Born in Cincinnati, Ohio on April 3, 1922, Doris Mary Anne Kappelhoff had dreams of becoming a professional dancer before a near-fatal car accident during her teen years left her bed-ridden with a shattered leg for over a year. While listening to the radio during her recovery and becoming entranced by jazz vocalist Ella Fitzgerald, Doris embarked on singing lessons for two years, resulting in her becoming a local radio star and joining big bands -- where she adopted the stage name of Day -- leading to a plum position with the Les Brown Orchestra. While touring cross-country with Brown, Day had several hit records with the band, culminating with the end-of-World-War-II anthem Sentimental Journey. After two failed marriages and giving birth to her son Terry, Doris relocated to Los Angeles where she was discovered by famed film director Michael Curtiz (Casablanca) and signed to a contract with Warner Brothers. Starting with the 1948 Technicolor musical Romance on the High Seas, where she introduced the Oscar(R)-nominated hit song It's Magic, Day quickly ascended to the top of the most popular stars in Hollywood. While continuing her recording career, she moved effortlessly between song-filled, nostalgic features such as Calamity Jane - introducing the Oscar(R)-winning hit Secret Love; gripping film noir (Storm Warning); musical biography (Love Me or Leave Me); a Hitchcock thriller (The Man Who Knew Too Much) and modern romantic comedies with Rock Hudson (Pillow Talk), Clark Gable (Teacher's Pet), Cary Grant (That Touch of Mink) and James Garner (The Thrill of It All). Despite not making a film since 1968, Day still holds the record as the number one female box-office star. Her many honors include the Cecil B. DeMille Award for outstanding contributions to the entertainment industry, the Los Angeles Film Critics Award for Lifetime Achievement, a Grammy Lifetime Achievement Award, an Academy Award(R) nomination for Pillow Talk and the Presidential Medal of Freedom. Her films and recordings continue to appeal to audiences all over the world. The iconic Oscar(R)-winning hit Que Sera, Sera (Whatever Will Be Will Be) was not only the theme to her top ten television series The Doris Day Show but has resonated globally with several generations. A lifelong animal lover and pioneering animal welfare advocate, Day focused her later years on her heart's passion--making this a better world for animals and the people who love them. Her celebrity voice has been instrumental in reducing shelter euthanasia, introducing spay/neuter initiatives, lobbying for laws that protect animals, and many other programs. Since 1978, the Doris Day Animal Foundation has grown into a national non-profit animal welfare leader and continues to carry on Day's legacy. DORIS DAY - IMAGES OF A HOLLYWOOD ICON offers hundreds of photos, including glamorous publicity portraits, behind-the-scenes images with famous friends and colleagues, and glimpses into her personal life. Longtime fan Paul McCartney and daughter Stella have contributed a Foreword. Turner Classic Movies host Eddie Mueller and singer-historian Michael Feinstein have contributed appreciations of Day's motion picture and singing careers, respectively. A complete filmography and discography are also included.
