Book excerpt: Hi, my name is Tracy Burch and I came from a family of five, three sisters and two brothers born in Detroit. My book addresses a very serious concern in our society. It is being abused and used by men; first of all we need to end this cycle of abuse. I am qualified to write this because my sister has been abused and used by men all her life, and she is the person who inspired me to write these self-help non-fiction short stories, the inspirational guide. Langston Hughes has inspired me also to continue to write about the personal, social problems in our society, especially domestic violence toward women and children. I hope my poetry and short stories will inspire other writers to write about their experiences. Theres nothing that gives me as much happiness as knowing that I gave each and every person some hope and lifted their spirits. The cover shows beautiful butterflies symbolizing women to open their wings and fly away from abuse into a better way of life.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Most people go to Las Vegas with dreams of striking it rich, winning big at the casinos, and becoming a millionaire. This is not Kayden June's dream. He has come to Las Vegas to lose everything if possible, a seemingly easy thing to do in a city designed for consuming money, but a task that becomes deceptively difficult for this unlucky man from Sioux Falls, South Dakota. When a three-year engagement to his best friend Lucille falls apart, Kayden himself falls apart. He now dreams of an outrageous gambling spree in Vegas, anticipating he will lose his entire life's savings. Instead, he gains an unexpected friendship under circumstances he could have never imagined. All thanks to a drug called Dexomeral. Dexomeral (Dexo for short) can fulfill your every dream. It can take you anywhere or any when you want to go. You can become anyone you want to be. Dexo users experience their perfect life all within their minds, thanks to a drug effect called the Lucid Hypnotic State. To his chagrin, Kayden meets and then befriends a Dexo user, a man whose fantasy is to become a young school-age boy just starting life in kindergarten and still needs diapers at night. But who is the real person behind the dream? With Dexomeral, the lines between reality and fantasy can be erased. Can Kayden give his friendship to two wildly different persons of vastly different ages? Well, as the slogan goes, “You haven’t seen everything until you’ve seen it in Vegas.”

Several papers which have become classics of the optical literature are included, such as those on Wolf's rigorous formulation of the theory of partial coherence and partial polarization, the introduction of diffraction tomography, and his discovery of correlation-induced shifts of spectral lines (often called the Wolf effect).

Download or read book By God s Amazing Grace written by Raymond D. Martin and published by Xulon Press. This book was released on 2008 with total page 398 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Even in literature and art, no man who bothers about originality will ever be original: whereas if you simply try to tell the truth (without caring two-pence how often it has been told before) you will, nine times out of ten, become original without ever having noticed it. C. S. Lewis This is the true story of Raymond D. Martin, an authentic original. It is an account of a life lived with single-minded purpose; a testimony to the wonderful grace of Jesus. From his childhood in Queens, to his dramatic conversion, and throughout his 60 years of ministry, Ray invites you to know him. As you become acquainted, you will discover a man of unfaltering earnestness and disarming tenderness. If you begin to sense that, if it were possible, he would love to get to know you too, you wouldn't be mistaken. His heart for people is matchless. Yet, one wonders, what makes it beat? The answer to that question is the theme of this book - the theme of Raymond D. Martin's life. It is, perhaps, exceedingly rare that a person can say with absolute honesty, "for me, to live is Christ " This is the story of such a person and the amazing grace of God.
Download or read book Are You Still Coaching written by Johnny Halpert and published by AuthorHouse. This book was released on 2013-12-05 with total page 269 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The nine members of the 19751976 Yeshiva University varsity basketball team attended their Jewish studies classes from nine to one, their secular classes from two to seven, practiced until ten, and went on to become doctors, dentists, or lawyers. The 1975 teams daily schedule and accomplishments were not unique, but rather representative of the approximately six hundred players who for eighty-three years have worn the Yeshiva University blue and white uniform. . . Why They Played, Chapter 11? The stories and observations that follow describe what happens when Yeshiva players attempt to find time for everything: Torah study, secular knowledge, and athletic triumph. When Dr. Halpert scours the globe for good player-athletes who will lead the team to victory, he looks for athletic promise, but in searching for the best, he is cognizant that, in the final analysis, his team will be the YU team. He knows that the players must be the bestbut also informed by values, Jewish values, universal values, and values touched by the breath of Torah. Rabbi Simcha Krauss Rabbi Emeritus Young Israel of Hillcrest The passion is there because the game of basketball is that kind of game. Coach Halpert exemplifies that spirit because he can get excitedand if you dont get excited, then the players wont get excited. He is able to translate that feeling and inner love to the players.

Download or read book On Beauty and Being Just written by Elaine Scarry and published by Princeton University Press. This book was released on 2013-03-21 with total page 144 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Have we become beauty-blind? For two decades or more in the humanities, various political arguments have been put forward against beauty: that it distracts us from more important issues; that it is the handmaiden of privilege; and that it masks political interests. In On Beauty and Being Just Elaine Scarry not only defends beauty from the political arguments against it but also argues that beauty does indeed press us toward a greater concern for justice. Taking inspiration from writers and thinkers as diverse as Homer, Plato, Marcel Proust, Simone Weil, and Iris Murdoch as well as her own experiences, Scarry offers up an elegant, passionate manifesto for the revival of beauty in our intellectual work as well as our homes, museums, and classrooms. Scarry argues that our responses to beauty are perceptual events of profound significance for the individual and for society. Presenting us with a rare and exceptional opportunity to witness fairness, beauty assists us in our attention to justice. The beautiful object renders fairness, an abstract concept, concrete by making it directly available to our sensory perceptions. With its direct appeal to the senses, beauty stops us, transfixes us, fills us with a "surfeit of aliveness." In so doing, it takes the individual away from the center of his or her self-preoccupation and thus prompts a distribution of attention outward toward others and, ultimately, she contends, toward ethical fairness. Scarry, author of the landmark The Body in Pain and one of our bravest and most creative thinkers, offers us here philosophical critique written with clarity and conviction as well as a passionate plea that we change the way we think about beauty.

Book excerpt: In her practice as a licensed therapist and through discussion groups all across the country, Sarah Brokaw has discovered that the women who navigate midlife most smoothly--who go on to prosper and to enjoy the best years of their lives--are those who foster five Core Values in themselves. In Fortytude, she shows how any woman can nourish these qualities in herself, and evolve and thrive. The five Core Values are: Grace - when a woman lives with integrity, capitalizing on her own strengths while admiring the strengths of others Connectedness - experiencing satisfaction in connections with others Accomplishment - the sense of realizing goals and getting things done--which is necessary in today's world, when women are expected to cram 48 hours of living into every 24-hour day Adventure - a willingness to seek challenges outside the normal comfort zone Spirituality - a personal approach to religion, and an understanding that life has a meaning beyond the day-to-day details In Brokaw's reassuring voice and through the stories of incredible women from all walks of life, readers can learn how they, too, can embrace and fully enjoy their forties, fifties, and beyond.
