I came as a shadow7/8/2023 There can be tension in co-author situations between what the subject thinks is most important to include and what the co-author thinks the reader wants or needs to know. In "I Came As A Shadow," John Thompson discussed his journey as a basketball coach, a parent and an educator. What was the timetable? From the time of your first meeting to publication, what was the window? They didn't have much of a name or a reputation. And he said, "Well, you know, I liked Phil. Much later, I was asking Coach about why he chose to sign with Nike rather than Adidas or Converse, which were the biggest shoe companies at that time in the late '70s. Apparently I did OK because he decided to choose me. was Coach, his son John and his daughter, Tiffany. Then I got to go meet Coach, and I had, like, an interview, an audition of sorts. Skipper suggested me to literary agent David Black, who was putting the project together for Coach.

Lola and the millionaires part 27/7/2023 She rented in the communities of Calabasas and Hidden Hills for a few years before settling in a semi-remote area of Thousand Oaks.īut despite years on the market and some multimillion-dollar pricechopping, her long vacant 90210 house didn’t sell until May 2012, when Australian venture capitalist Jeff Friedmann scooped it up for just under $4.3 million, a nearly $2.5 million loss for Spears. Within two months of her rash residential purchase, the Summit mansion was back on the market, initially asking $7.5 million. By 2009, Spears had permanently decamped Los Angeles, moving out to far-flung reaches of the San Fernando Valley and Ventura County. Other bizarre circumstances followed - some infamous nights of partying with Paris Hilton and Lindsay Lohan, a 14-day psychiatric hold - that ultimately led to Spears’ 2008 conservatorship, now in its 14th year and seemingly going strong. One month later, on a random Friday night in February, the 25-year-old walked into a Tarzana salon and proceeded to shave her entire head less than a week after that, she was photographed attacking a paparazzo’s car with an umbrella.

Here is a quick description and cover image of book Get Off My Case written by Lisa Oliver which was published in June 5, 2014. Brief Summary of Book: Get Off My Case by Lisa Oliver Instead of letting our fear or worry cause us to contract and turn to old habit patterns of self-soothing, let negative emotions serve as an invitation to gain greater self-awareness. If we want to go deeper into our experience of life, fear is going to become a well-known companion on the journey and when we can become fully present, we can experience groundlessness. Chapter 1: The spiritual path requires that we engage with our fears if we want to truly awaken.Now that we’ve reached the end of the book, I thought it might be helpful to summarize some of the key learnings for those who have been curious about the book. My book club recently read When Things Fall Apart: Heart Advice for Difficult Times by Pema Chodron and had a great time discussing the book during our weekly live Zoom calls. Half lion by vinay sitapati7/7/2023 This book itself is well researched with access to documents unavailable earlier. My homage to the great man to whom the modern India owes much, without even knowing it. Little wonder that the usurper Gandhi family have tried everything to delete him out of the history books. In all these constraints, he dramatically opened the dead economy, revamped the stale foreign policy and brought strife ridden states (Punjab, Kashmir & North East) under control. PVN was the arhitect of modern India, still under works, who laid the foundations in tougest of circumstances - lack of his own cultivated political base, minority government, civil strife and the megalomaniac Sonia Gandhi. A first rate scholar and a shrewd political mind. It always amaze me how Indian polity is able to propel the best to the top, inspite of it's vastness, all the vested interests and characters. Undoubtedly PVN (along with AB Vajpayee) remain the finest PMs that India has produced. Over the last decade, as we came to know more about him inspite of all the efforts of the dynasty that still plagues India, that perception has changed and thats an understatement. I distincly remember loathing PVN during my growing years, mainly because he gave an impression of a non decisive leader.

Life and death in shanghai7/6/2023 Hsu pointed out that no mainland Chinese films would be participating in Cannes this year and cautioned that this could spell disaster for the future of the Chinese film industry unless Beijing relaxes its tight grip. The producer said that she would consider taking the “Life and Death in Shanghai” production to Taiwan if the authorities in Beijing continued to block the picture here. “They want us to shoot films about reform, but who wants to go see films about that?” “The Chinese government doesn’t care what place Chinese films have in the outside world,” Hsu said. The screenplay for the Madame Mao picture is being done by Lilian Lee, who also wrote the novel “Farewell My Concubine.” Hsu obtained the film rights to “Life and Death in Shanghai” in the early 1990s, and has already gone through nine script revisions. Hsu, who will be given a prize as an outstanding producer at the upcoming Cannes festival, said that the sensitive nature of the films is making it difficult to obtain a greenlight from the Chinese government. “They still see it as a fresh scab, and are afraid of opening the wound again”. “They need to deal with the Cultural Revolution in order to move forward,” she said. |
