Download or read book Wizzie The Wonder Dog Saves The Day written by Trish Silver and published by Silver Media Group. This book was released on 2014-12-14 with total page 24 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Approximately four years ago (in 2010), I saw the most unbelievable happening. My adorable Yorkshire Terrier named Wizzie saved a drowning kitten from my family’s pool in San Diego. It was an astonishing act of bravery for this 6½ lb. bundle of fur. If you know anything about a Yorkie, they’re fearless and have a big dog’s demeanor. Being a writer, I knew I had a story to tell. However, I wasn’t a children’s picture book writer. When I spoke to my friend Lynne Berger about it, she thought it would make a great story and we should write it. Lynne is a very talented children’s book writer whom I have grown to respect. We wrote the story together, but it kept getting postponed due to our health issues. In the summer of 2014 Lynne and I decided to move on with the Wizzie project. We would like to introduce you to ‘Wizzie’, my very own wonder dog. I think this story will reinstate your belief in courage and heroism. Please feel free to ask us any questions about Wizzie or our plans for this wondrous series. We would welcome your inputs and encouragement. Raman B. is an excellent illustrator, who made Wizzie come alive on paper for your children and grandchildren alike. Our editor Jagdeep Sambey believes that a children’s book should not just entertain, but instruct and educate also. There is a time to develop a child’s passion for reading and the time is NOW! We’re proud to bring you this amazing story.

Book excerpt: Tap into your God-given intuition and start achieving ultimate success with this inspiring #1 New York Times bestseller from Bishop T.D. Jakes. If you have ever felt misaligned, this book is for you. If you have lost the rhythm, the passion, or the thrill of living in alignment, then keep reading. As He did with the very cells that comprise our bodies and the dry bones that were joined together for new life, God has given us deeper instincts to be attracted to those things that fit a higher and better purpose. Never settle for less than God's best for your life. Some people have the courage to move beyond the ordinary, from the methodical mediocre into the revolutionary realization of where they belong. You can have this sense of belonging only when you connect to your core calling. The calling to creativity, the calling to teach, to give, to build, are all part of allowing your instinct to guide you to the "something more" that you suspect is out there. If you are ready to break through the confines of where you are and discover where you are meant to be, then Instinct is your key! !--EndFragment--

Download or read book Making Movies written by Sidney Lumet and published by Vintage. This book was released on 2010-09-01 with total page 240 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Why does a director choose a particular script? What must they do in order to keep actors fresh and truthful through take after take of a single scene? How do you stage a shootout—involving more than one hundred extras and three colliding taxis—in the heart of New York’s diamond district? What does it take to keep the studio honchos happy? From the first rehearsal to the final screening, Making Movies is a master’s take, delivered with clarity, candor, and a wealth of anecdote. For in this book, Sidney Lumet, one of our most consistently acclaimed directors, gives us both a professional memoir and a definitive guide to the art, craft, and business of the motion picture. Drawing on forty years of experience on movies that range from Long Day’s Journey into Night to Network and The Verdict—and with such stars as Katharine Hepburn, Paul Newman, Marlon Brando, and Al Pacino—Lumet explains how painstaking labor and inspired split-second decisions can result in two hours of screen magic.

Download or read book The Friendly Orange Glow written by Brian Dear and published by Vintage. This book was released on 2018-10-02 with total page 642 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: At a time when Steve Jobs was only a teenager and Mark Zuckerberg wasn’t even born, a group of visionary engineers and designers—some of them only high school students—in the late 1960s and 1970s created a computer system called PLATO, which was light-years ahead in experimenting with how people would learn, engage, communicate, and play through connected computers. Not only did PLATO engineers make significant hardware breakthroughs with plasma displays and touch screens but PLATO programmers also came up with a long list of software innovations: chat rooms, instant messaging, message boards, screen savers, multiplayer games, online newspapers, interactive fiction, and emoticons. Together, the PLATO community pioneered what we now collectively engage in as cyberculture. They were among the first to identify and also realize the potential and scope of the social interconnectivity of computers, well before the creation of the internet. PLATO was the foundational model for every online community that was to follow in its footsteps. The Friendly Orange Glow is the first history to recount in fascinating detail the remarkable accomplishments and inspiring personal stories of the PLATO community. The addictive nature of PLATO both ruined many a college career and launched pathbreaking multimillion-dollar software products. Its development, impact, and eventual disappearance provides an instructive case study of technological innovation and disruption, project management, and missed opportunities. Above all, The Friendly Orange Glow at last reveals new perspectives on the origins of social computing and our internet-infatuated world.
