Fatherhood in 40-Minute Snapshots by Jeremy G Schneider Pdf

Fatherhood in 40-Minute Snapshots is a collection of parenting articles that explore the challenges and joys of being a father. Each snapshot, written during the author's 40-minute commuter train ride to work, reveals a particular moment in time: preparing for the birth of his twins, what he wished he'd known before their birth, getting them to sleep through the night, and discovering new ways to bond with them. The snapshots also reveal the difficulties in keeping a marriage alive through parenthood, and in determining what it truly means to be a good father. In this honest and revealing collection, readers will find bite-sized chunks of insight into the realities of parenting life woven with morsels of humor.

Snapshots by Craig Clouston Pdf

January 19 The rain sounded so relaxing with a cadence that lulled you into restful slumber. In the early morning hours...layer upon layer of ice formed, causing tree branches to bow down, almost touching the ground. As the sun rose over the horizon, the boughs glistened with dazzling beauty. And although the rays of sunshine continued to dance on the frozen limbs, the temperature remained below freezing. What a tremendous waste that so many trees would be destroyed because they weren't strong enough to bear the additional load. And so it is with us as wounds and disappointments accumulate... Devoting yourself to daily spiritual meditation can enhance your walk with God in ways you never dreamed possible. This robust and encompassing resource offers 366 lessons crafted to deepen your spiritual insight.

DEFA at the Crossroads of East German and International Film Culture by Marc Silberman,Henning Wrage Pdf

Motion picture production, distribution, exhibition and reception has always been a transnational phenomenon, yet East Germany, situated at the edge of the post-war Iron Curtain, separated by a boundary that became materialized in the Berlin Wall in 1961, resembles nothing if not an island, a protected space where film production developed under the protection of government subsidy and ideological purity. This volume proposes on the contrary that the GDR cinema was never just a monologue. Rather, its media landscape was characterized by constant dialogue, if not competition, with both the capitalist West and socialist East. These thirteen essays reshape DEFA cinema studies by exploring international networks, identifying lines of influence beyond national boundaries and recognizing genre qualities that surpass the temporal and spatial confines. The international team of film specialists present detailed analyses of over fifty films, including fiction features, adaptations of literary classics, children's films, documentaries, and examples from genres such as music, sci-fi, Westerns and crime films. With contributions by Seán Allan, Hunter Bivens, Benita Blessing, Barton Byg, Jaimey Fisher, Sabine Hake, Nick Hodgin, Manuel Köppen, Anke Pinkert, Larson Powell, Brad Prager, Marc Silberman, Stefan Soldovieri, andHenning Wrage.

The Knapps Lived Here by Ken Spooner Pdf

On a Sunday afternoon in 1959, in a small town on Long Island, 11 year old Ken Spooner watched along with most everyone as his personal playhouse, the Knapp Mansion, burned to the ground. Over 40 years passed before he would write a short story memoir of that day, triggering a very long journey through the first decade of the 21st century, to discover just who the Knapps were (no one seemed to know) and to find out who the arsonist was (that was the easy part). Through a folksy interwoven narrative, the reader discovers, as he did in realtime, the unwritten history of one of the Highest-Society, Lowest-Profile families America's gilded age has ever produced. Travel inside the many Knapp mansions, where 5 US Presidents and many icons of the 19th & 20th centuries were guests. This is Spooner's third book.

My Father's Name by Lawrence P. Jackson Pdf

An African American studies scholar traces his family lineage to a Black Virginia neighborhood in the era of Reconstruction in this historical memoir. As an expectant father, Lawrence P. Jackson decides to go looking for his late grandfather’s home in Pittsylvania County, Virginia, an old house by the railroad tracks in Blairs. Armed with nothing but childhood memories, his journey evolves into a kind of detective story as he uncovers his ancestral history through the turmoil and torment of the 19th century South. After asking around in Pittsylvania County, Jackson finds himself in the house of distant relations. He becomes increasingly absorbed by the search for his ancestors and soon realizes how few generations an African American needs to map in order to arrive at slavery, the “door of no return.” Ultimately, Jackson’s dogged research leads him to his grandfather’s grandfather, a man who was born or sold into slavery but who, when Federal troops abandoned the South in 1877, was able to buy forty acres of land. In this intimate study of a black Virginia family and neighborhood, Jackson vividly reconstructs moments in the lives of his father’s grandfather, Edward Jackson, and great-grandfather, Granville Hundley, and gives life to revealing narratives of Pittsylvania County, recalling both the horror of slavery and the later struggles of postbellum freedom.
