Download or read book Still Walking written by Bill Moss AO and published by FSHD Global Research Foundation. This book was released on 2012-05-02 with total page 243 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When Bill Moss decided in 1984 to leave a prestigious job and take a salary cut to join the boutique investment firm that later became Macquarie Bank, he faced the challenge of starting a real estate investment business from a small desk in an open-plan office, with just one fulltime employee working for him. In its first year of operations, the business Moss had seemingly crazily agreed to take on made a profit of just $40,000. Twenty-two years later, when he retired as the legendary head of Macquarie Bank’s real estate and banking division and one of Australia’s highest paid executives, Bill Moss AO had built a global business in real estate finance, development and funds management that stretched across five continents from Africa to Asia, Europe, Australia and North America, and created thousands of jobs. Yet up until a few years before deciding to retire from the ‘Millionaire Factory’, Moss fought every step of the way to conceal a grim personal secret from work colleagues, business associates and friends—and most of all from himself. When he was 27, Moss was told by doctors he had a degenerative and incurable muscle wasting disease, a form of muscular dystrophy called FSHD, which the ambitious, driven young businessman was assured would leave him crippled and in a wheelchair by the age of 50. These memoirs are the inspirational, moving, blunt and at times very funny account of how a senior and seemingly all-powerful Macquarie banker struggled for years through physical discomfort, pain and the many barriers thrown in the path of people with physical disabilities, not just to rise to the international heights of a notoriously difficult profession but also gradually to face and come courageously to terms with his disability. A multi-millionaire who began life in a fibro house in a working class suburb of Sydney, Moss is today a committed philanthropist, passionate campaigner for disability rights, and the founder of a global medical and scientific research foundation bringing hope to FSHD and other dystrophy sufferers around the world.

Download or read book Ozu s Tokyo Story written by David Desser and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 1997-04-13 with total page 192 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Ozu's Tokyo Story is generally regarded as one of the finest films ever made. Universal in its appeal, it is also considered to be 'particularly Japanese'. Exploring its universality and cultural specificity, this collection of specially commissioned essays demonstrates the multiple planes on which the film may be appreciated. The introduction outlines Ozu's career as both a contract director of a major studio and as a singular figure in Japanese film history, and also analyses the director's cinematic style, particularly his narrative strategies and spatial compositions. Other essays situate Ozu's cinema in its relationship to Hollywood film-making: his relationship to aspects of Japanese tradition, situating the film within artistic modes, religious systems and beliefs, and socio-cultural and familial formations. Also included is an analysis of how Ozu has been misunderstood in Western criticism.
Download or read book Zombie Economics written by John Quiggin and published by Princeton University Press. This book was released on 2012-05-06 with total page 288 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the graveyard of economic ideology, dead ideas still stalk the land. The recent financial crisis laid bare many of the assumptions behind market liberalism—the theory that market-based solutions are always best, regardless of the problem. For decades, their advocates dominated mainstream economics, and their influence created a system where an unthinking faith in markets led many to view speculative investments as fundamentally safe. The crisis seemed to have killed off these ideas, but they still live on in the minds of many—members of the public, commentators, politicians, economists, and even those charged with cleaning up the mess. In Zombie Economics, John Quiggin explains how these dead ideas still walk among us—and why we must find a way to kill them once and for all if we are to avoid an even bigger financial crisis in the future. Zombie Economics takes the reader through the origins, consequences, and implosion of a system of ideas whose time has come and gone. These beliefs—that deregulation had conquered the financial cycle, that markets were always the best judge of value, that policies designed to benefit the rich made everyone better off—brought us to the brink of disaster once before, and their persistent hold on many threatens to do so again. Because these ideas will never die unless there is an alternative, Zombie Economics also looks ahead at what could replace market liberalism, arguing that a simple return to traditional Keynesian economics and the politics of the welfare state will not be enough—either to kill dead ideas, or prevent future crises. In a new chapter, Quiggin brings the book up to date with a discussion of the re-emergence of pre-Keynesian ideas about austerity and balanced budgets as a response to recession.

Download or read book The Altars of our Struggles are Still a Priestly Walk written by Wilbert Williams, Elder and published by iUniverse. This book was released on 2011-09-20 with total page 52 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this day in time, when we see changes in nature and countries, I wish to ask a question of you, has God changed his mind about the idea of a Holy nation of priests? Have we as Christians replaced the Jews as God's chosen people? Does God still require offertory sacrifices? The changing climate of nations and people today is so dramatic, it is disconcerting. It is hard to believe from our past that we could have ever moved so far in this direction. We no longer want God involved in any of our lives. The word of men or nations, whether written or verbal, means absolutely nothing. Those places where God has been Memorialize for generations, we want Him removed. Jesus said that this time would come. In years past, men of God preached that it is Holiness or Hell, but we see in today's society, we do not wish to hear hard things to live by. Many abandon churches, doctrines and God, because it interferes with their lifestyle. I asked you, O’ man have God changed? Is the idea of a priestly walk still required by God? We hope to answer these questions in this book.

Download or read book Overcomer written by Aubrey Gayel Sampson and published by Zondervan. This book was released on 2015-10-06 with total page 180 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Christian women have allowed shame to condemn and confine them for far too long. If you’re ready to turn things around, Aubrey Sampson—a pastor’s wife, and an advocate for at-risk women—invites you to become an unashamed woman. Using the model of a house, “Sampson identifies eight major lies of shame such as: I’ll have more value when I change; I cannot experience freedom from shame; My past is unsalvageable; and Shame is only traumatic. Written with a strong biblical theology and humorous authenticity, as well as true-life stories shared by women of all ages, Sampson equips readers with tools for an ongoing spiritual discipline of “shamelessness.” Sampson deals directly with the shame that comes from comical moments in life, as well as from sexual abuse, eating disorders, addiction, abandonment, and other real-life issues. She also encourages women to transform their life’s story into ministry, creating ripple effects of hope and healing that can change the world. Written for any woman whose self-worth has been stolen, Overcomer gives her the courage, in Jesus, to reclaim it.
