“Writing about yourself is a funny business…But in a project like this, the writer has made one promise, to show the reader his mind. In these pages, I’ve tried to do this.” —Bruce Springsteen, from the pages of Born to Run In 2009, Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band performed at the Super Bowl’s halftime show. The experience was so exhilarating that Bruce decided to write about it. That’s how this extraordinary autobiography began. Over the past seven years, Bruce Springsteen has privately devoted himself to writing the story of his life, bringing to these pages the same honesty, humor, and originality found in his songs. He describes growing up Catholic in Freehold, New Jersey, amid the poetry, danger, and darkness that fueled his imagination, leading up to the moment he refers to as “The Big Bang”: seeing Elvis Presley’s debut on The Ed Sullivan Show. He vividly recounts his relentless drive to become a musician, his early days as a bar band king in Asbury Park, and the rise of the E Street Band. With disarming candor, he also tells for the first time the story of the personal struggles that inspired his best work, and shows us why the song “Born to Run” reveals more than we previously realized. Born to Run will be revelatory for anyone who has ever enjoyed Bruce Springsteen, but this book is much more than a legendary rock star’s memoir. This is a book for workers and dreamers, parents and children, lovers and loners, artists, freaks, or anyone who has ever wanted to be baptized in the holy river of rock and roll. Rarely has a performer told his own story with such force and sweep. Like many of his songs (“Thunder Road,” “Badlands,” “Darkness on the Edge of Town,” “The River,” “Born in the U.S.A.,” “The Rising,” and “The Ghost of Tom Joad,” to name just a few), Bruce Springsteen’s autobiography is written with the lyricism of a singular songwriter and the wisdom of a man who has thought deeply about his experiences.
The inspirational story of Boston Red Sox second baseman Dustin Pedroia—a giant talent in a small package—who defied his critics to become one of the greatest players in the game today. Dustin Pedroia, at five feet seven inches and 170 pounds, is not the biggest, the strongest, or the fastest player in the game of baseball, but in just two years of major-league play he was named Rookie of the Year, Most Valuable Player, and helped the Boston Red Sox win a World Championship. At a time when steroid scandals dominate media coverage of America’s beloved pastime, Pedroia has proven to the world that a good baseball player is more than size and statistics. His success comes from the heart. In Born to Play, Pedroia shares the story of his difficult and uplifting journey to prove himself at every turn. More than anything, his love of the game and desire to win, not just for himself but for his teammates, defines Pedroia as an athlete—but his dedication, his perseverance, and of course, his monster swing have made him a beloved new symbol of baseball and offer hope for the future of America’s favorite game.

In twelve plays for broadcasting at monthly intervals, Dorothy L. Sayers drew on material from all four Gospels, keeping the theme of Jesus of Nazareth's divine kingship in focus throughout, while locating him firmly in the social and political context of his time. The first half cover episodes that precede the final journey to Jerusalem and the latter half primarily deal with Passion Week themes. It is the simplicity and profundity of Jesus' words in the Fourth Gospel especially that Sayers drew on in her own writing for the "voice" of Jesus "on air." The plays gave her an opportunity to explore the many gospel characters surrounding Jesus, not least that of Judas. And beyond the utter sorrow of Jesus' death, the King comes into his own in the garden of resurrection.

I have blood relative spanning one hundred years and in their best interest I believe my life experiences should be shared with the world. It is my belief that GOD does not wish the following issues to fade quietly into the night but to be brought brightly into the light. What concerns me is not the way things are, but the way people think things are. I filed discrimination claims with Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) against the military defense contractor and EEOC as well as the Office of Federal Contracts Compliance (OFCC) claims against one of this nations leading higher education catholic universities and received (not unexpected) unfavorable federal court proceeding results from both agencies. My concerns are in the area of fair and equal (or the lack thereof) practice in employment opportunities for male Americans of African descent. I worked for two of the largest employers in area one a military defense contractor and the other higher education catholic university. Both employers release me during economical hard times (as lifes history has it Blacks were the last hired and the first fired) the first after (16) years of excellent services in 1993 for alleged reduction in workforce and the other after (10) years of excellent services for alleged performance issues in 2005. Where as in the case of EEOC the director and its leading attorney were both American of African decent, however in general the perceived notion is that both individuals would view this from an objective view point as an opportunity to potentially help correct past employment practices by employers that utilize government funds and discretely discriminate against various protected class minority employees. This activity continually go untested and while the disservices I experienced only perpetuate status quo practices of the past, by both EEOC and the Employers. EEOC performed as I had anticipated (with defense contractor) the findings resulted in there was reasonable cause to believe I had been discriminated against, however the agencies leading attorney when it came to negotiating a fair and reasonable settlement amount favored with the employer and refuse to negotiate. He recommended I pursue outside legal counsel I was provided a letter of the right to sue the employer. I didnt have a chance in hell of over coming big business and the relationship private attorneys have with big business. A couple private attorney firms only conceded to the same standards as EEOC and lacked the will to negotiate. Where are the adjudicators for the people that will judge rightly in every matter brought before them? Due to a lack of financial resources and the ability to appeal the summary judgment after five years of legal proceedings the case was ultimately dismissed. Employers continually go untested and the disservices to protected class employees serves notice that nothing will become of filing a complaint against your employer. Little did I know the learning experiences throughout this process would come in handy some ten years later. The case of OFCC the director and its leading investigator were both white women minorities, the perceived notion is that both individuals would view this from an objective view point as an opportunity to potentially help correct discriminating employment practices by employers that discretely discriminate against the various protected class minority employees. I repeat again where are the adjudicators for the people that will judge rightly in every matter brought before them? OFCC leading investigator did exceptionally well, however due to circumstance beyond the investigators control the ultimate finding were politically manipulated in favor of the university. The action by the director allows the employers continually go untested and was a disservice to protected class employees. The University was granted a summary judgment finding by the legal justice system, h
Born To Kwaito by Esinako Ndabeni,Sihle Mthembu Pdf
"Born To Kwaito considers the meaning of kwaito music now. °Now not only as in °after 1994' or the Truth Commission but as a place in the psyche of black people in post-apartheid South Africa. This collection of essays tackles the changing meaning of the genre after its decline and its ever-contested relevance. Through rigorous historical analysis as well as threads of narrative journalism Born To Kwaito interrogates issues of artistic autonomy, the politics of language in the music, and whether the music is part of a strand within the larger feminist movement in South Africa. Candid and insightful interviews from the genre's foremost innovators and torchbearers, such as Mandla Spikiri, Arthur Mafokate, Robbie Malinga and Lance Stehr, provide unique historical context to kwaito music's greatest highs, most captivating hits and most devastating lows. Born To Kwaito offers up a history of the genre from below by having conversations not only with musicians but with fans, engineers, photographers and filmmakers who bore witness to a revolution. Living in a place between criticism and biography, Born To Kwaito merges academic theories and rigorous journalism to offer a new understanding into how the genre influenced other art forms such as fashion, TV and film. The book also reflects on how some of the music's best hits have found new life through the mouths of local hip-hop's current kingmakers and opened kwaito up to a new generation. The book does not pretend to be an exhaustive history of the genre but rather a present active analysis of that history as it settles and finds its meaning

Epiphany Chigbogu Azinge is an erudite Professor of Constitutional Law with admirable scholarly attributes: 42 years at the bar; 42 years in crowded lecture halls, impacting knowledge and building prodigies at the Bar and Bench. “Born To Serve” chronicles the “Aba Boy” at 66, and his services from formative years to retirement as Director General, Nigerian Institute of Advanced Legal Studies, - “Nigerian Law Abode,” – the apex of legal education in Nigeria. He is currently among the jurists of the Commonwealth Secretariat Arbitral Tribunal in London, representing Nigeria. Every stage of his life is eventful. At St. Patrick’s College, Asaba, he once declared a “state of emergency” as a school prefect, and graduated tops. At the London School of Economics where he acquired his doctorate, he became popular as “Zinge,” due to his intellect, and earned a distinction. He has grown unimaginably in status to become a man of exemplary character and great achievements in public administration, philanthropy and service to God and humanity. Azinge served three attorneys general, and ministers of justice as special assistant and legal adviser at Nigeria’s most challenging period in history, covering draconian military regimes of Ibrahim Babangida and Sani Abacha. He recalls sadly, June 12 1993, the execution of the “Ogoni Nine,” and the Bakassi border dispute that Nigeria lost to Cameroun.
