It Could Be Magic... How The Music of Barry Manilow Changed My Life!: And The Journey Ever Since...

It Could Be Magic... How The Music of Barry Manilow Changed My Life!: And The Journey Ever Since...

Helen M. Holdun

'It Could Be Magic...' shares the intimate details of how the innate power of music led one woman's personal journey of self-discovery, reinvention and deep gratitude for all that was, is and has yet to be. This true life story touches the heart and soul of anyone who's ever felt anesthetized in the life they are living. It's an especially insightful and inspirational exploration for woman who while lovingly entrenched in nurturing those around them, have lost balance of perspective; ceasing to be the "shero" of their own life. In addition, it is a powerful reminder to everyone, to fully engage with and find bliss in all that surrounds us in the present moment, while embracing with profound gratitude the gifts we've been blessed with. It's also a powerful reminder for each of us to never stop dreaming, setting goals and having faith in the knowledge "that what's meant to be, will be", but be mindful that we each need to take responsibility for seeking out what it is that's meant to be. In 2007 Ms. Holdun had reached an "intersection in the road of life when where she was, was where she thought she needed to remain". It was the opening notes of (Barry) Manilow's infamous "Could It Be Magic" that led the author on a path where she would discover all that life still had to offer, while at the same time dissipated her bubble of numb indifference to the world around her. During a career that spans four decades, Barry Manilow's music and his unique talent of poignant delivery, has inspired millions of listeners to "feel". However, it wasn't until Helen Holdun published, 'It Could Be Magic...'; that an in-depth, true-life account had been told about Mr. Manilow's music being the catalyst to transforming a life This book is not a glib sharing of being a fan of the musician. It is, as Author and radio-host, Nicholas Snow, who provided the books world-wide launch via his blog-talk radio show explains: 'It Could Be Magic...' isn't so much about Barry and the power of his music as it is about the courage to answer the question, 'Is this all there is', and reinvent one's self in the process." With absolute honesty, Helen shares how she faced the unexpected, and often painful challenges of love, loss, fear, which has led to the joyful triumph of new beginnings. Through it all, she discovered inner strength, deeper faith in God, peaceful closure for what was, and abounding hope for what has yet to unfold.

Penal Servitude

Penal Servitude

Helen Johnston; Barry Godfrey; David J. Cox

McGill-Queen's University Press
2022
sidottu
Established in 1853, after the end of penal transportation to Australia, the convict prison system and the sentence of penal servitude offered the most severe form of punishment – short of death – in the criminal justice system, and they remained in place for nearly a century.Penal Servitude is the first comprehensive study to examine the convict prison system that housed all those who were sentenced to penal servitude during this time. Helen Johnston, Barry Godfrey, and David Cox detail the administration and evolution of the system, from its creation in the 1850s and the building of the prison estate to the classification of prisoners within it. Exploring life in the convict prison through the experiences of the people who were subjected to it, the authors shed light on various details such as prison diet, education, and labour. What they find reveals the internal regimes; the everyday endurances, conformity, resistance, and rule breaking of convicts; and the interactions with the warders, medical officers, and governors that shaped daily life in the system.Reconstructing the life histories of hundreds of convict prisoners from detailed prison records, criminal registers, census data, and personal correspondence, Penal Servitude illuminates the lives of those who experienced long-term imprisonment in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries.

Power Despite Precarity

Power Despite Precarity

Joe Berry; Helena Worthen

Pluto Press
2021
pokkari
Higher education is the site of an ongoing conflict. At the heart of this struggle are the precariously employed faculty ‘contingents’ who work without basic job security, living wages or benefits. Yet they have the incentive and, if organized, the power to shape the future of higher education. Power Despite Precarity is part history, part handbook and a wholly indispensable resource in this fight. Joe Berry and Helena Worthen outline the four historical periods that led to major transitions in the worklives of faculty of this sector. They then take a deep dive into the 30-year-long struggle by California State University lecturers to negotiate what is recognized as the best contract for contingents in the US. The authors ask: what is the role of universities in society? Whose interests should they serve? What are the necessary conditions for the exercise of academic freedom? Providing strategic insight for activists at every organizing level, they also tackle 'troublesome questions’ around legality, union politics, academic freedom and how to recognize friends (and foes) in the struggle.

Victorian Convicts

Victorian Convicts

Johnston Helen; Godfrey Barry; Cox David J.

Pen Sword Books Ltd
2016

What was life like in the Victorian underworld - who were the criminals, what crimes did they commit, how did they come to a criminal career, and what happened to them after they were released from prison? Victorian Convicts, by telling the stories of a hundred criminal men and women, gives the reader an insight into their families and social background, the conditions in which they lived, their relationships and working lives, and their offences. They reveal how these individuals were treated by the justice and penal system of 150 years ago, and how they were regarded by the wider world around them. Such a rare and authentic insight into life in and out of prison will be fascinating reading for anyone who is interested in the history of crime and criminals, in legal and prison history and in British society in the nineteenth century.

Mating Intelligence Unleashed

Mating Intelligence Unleashed

Glenn Geher; Scott Barry Kaufman; Helen Fisher

Oxford University Press Inc
2013
sidottu
There's intelligence involved in mating? Until recently, evolutionary psychologists have considered human mating behavior to be universal and similar to other animals, painting a picture of human mating as visceral, animalistic, and instinctual. But that's not the whole story. In courtship and display, sexual competition and rivalry, we are guided by Mating Intelligence, or the range of psychological abilities designed for sexual reproduction. Mating Intelligence is at work in our efforts to form, maintain, coordinate, and terminate relationships. It guides us in flirtation, foreplay, copulation, mind-reading, mate search, mate choice, and many other behaviors that may have reproductive payoffs. In Mating Intelligence Unleashed, psychologists Glenn Geher and Scott Barry Kaufman take a fascinating tour of the intersection of mating and intelligence by drawing on cutting-edge research on evolutionary psychology, intelligence, creativity, personality, social psychology, developmental psychology, neuroscience, epigenetics, and more. Along the way, they shed new light on age-old questions, such as: Can humor compensate for less-than-matinee looks? Why do artists have more sexual partners? What role does personality play in the mating domain? What traits influence attraction? How do people choose mates? How do men and women deceive each other? How important are kindness, compassion, and understanding? What about emotional intelligence? Do nice guys really finish last? This book will change the way you think about sex, dating, love, and the human mind.

De flesta svenskar, också de hyggligt belästa, får lätt något panikslaget i blicken om de ombeds nämna en enda australiensisk författare, skriver Jan Arnald i förordet till Australien berättar som är en antologi med ett brett urval av samtidsförfattare från denna ofta förbisedda kontinent. Den aboriginska urbefolkningen har den längsta obrutna kulturhistorien av jordklotets alla folkslag, men ur ett västerländskt perspektiv är den australiensiska litteraturen i stort sätt nyfödd. I denna antologi finns såväl aboriginska som icke-aboriginska författare representerade. På olika sätt förhåller de sig till det australiska; dess samhälle såväl som dess säregna mytologi. Inte minst bearbetar flera av författarna på olika sätt sin egen historia. Först i februari 2008 bad den australiensiska staten officiellt om ursäkt för sin förtryckarpolitik gentemot aboriginerna. Australien berättar fyller en lucka i den bokliga allmänbildningen i Sverige, genom att ge läsare möjligheten att bekanta sig med noveller som sträcker sig från det komiska till det tragiska, från det underhållande till det reflekterande mer sällan än inte på en och samma gång. Australien berättar utkommer i Tranans uppskattade berättarserie, som presenterar framstående novellistik från hela världen, inte sällan av författare som aldrig tidigare kommit ut på svenska. Hittills har tretton volymer utkommit, senast med noveller från Lettland och Egypten.

The Journal of Hélène Berr

The Journal of Hélène Berr

Hélène Berr

MacLehose Press
2009
pokkari
"At once the diary of a young Jewish girl under the German Occupation of Paris, a work of exceptional literary quality, and a powerful historical document" SIMONE VEILFrom April 1942 to February 1944, Hélène Berr, a recent graduate of the Sorbonne, kept a journal that is both an intensely moving, intimate, harrowing, appalling document and a text of astonishing literary maturity. With her friends and family, she plays the violin and she seeks refuge from the everyday in what she calls the "selfish magic" of English literature and poetry. But this is Paris under the occupation and her family is Jewish. "There are some books that are great, not because their writers were born for literary success, but because circumstances force upon them the writing of a truly great book. Such a one is Hélène Berr's Journal" CARMEN CALLIL Eventually, there comes the time when all Jews are required to wear a yellow star. She tries to remain calm and rational, keeping to what routine she can: studying, reading, enjoying the beauty of Paris. Yet always there is fear for the future, and eventually, in March 1944, Hélène and her family are arrested, taken to Drancy Transit Camp and soon sent to Auschwitz. She was - as was later discovered - transferred from Auschwitz to the camp of Bergen Belsen towards the end of October. She caught typhus and was killed by a female guard, just five days before the liberation of the camp. The last words in the journal she had left behind in Paris were "Horror! Horror! Horror!", a hideous and poignant echo of her English studies.Hélène Berr's story is almost too painful to read, foreshadowing horror as it does amidst an enviable appetite for life, for beauty, for literature, for all that lasts.Translated from the French by David Bellos

Paris er okkupert. Hélène Berr er 21 år gammel, jøde og studerer engelsk ved Sorbonne. "Jeg kjenner at en lang og mørk vei venter meg", skrev hun i dagboken sin fra de to årene, 1942-1944. Hélène Berr skrev dagbok til kjæresten, Jean Morawiecki, som hadde sluttet seg til den franske motstandsbevegelsen og gått i dekning. Han overlevde krigen og bevarte Hélènes dagbok, for seg selv, i over 60 år. Denne gripende beretningen har flere likheter med Anne Franks dagbok. Hélène Berrs skjebne har også flere berøringspunkter med Irène Némirovsky selvbiografiske roman, Storm i juni. I tillegg er dette en usedvanlig velskrevet tekst, som har fått flere til å tenke at også Berr ville ha blitt forfatter. "Denne dagboken har to deler, det oppdager jeg når jeg leser begynnelsen om igjen. Det er den delen jeg skriver av plikt, for å ta vare på minnene om det som må fortelles, og så er det den delen som er skrevet for Jean, for meg og ham. Det er en lykke å tenke på at hvis jeg blir tatt, tar Andrée vare på alle disse sidene, på noe av meg, det mest verdifulle. Nå bryr jeg meg nemlig ikke lenger om noe annet materielt: Det som må reddes, er dens sjel og hukommelse. Jeg tenker på at Jean kanskje kommer til å lese disse sidene. Men jeg vil ikke at de skal være slik som Keats' hånd. Jeg kommer tilbake skjønner du, jeg kommer tilbake, Jean. Når jeg tenker at den konvolutten jeg legger disse sidene i, bare skal åpnes av Jean, dersom den nå blir åpnet, og i de korte øyeblikkene da jeg er klar over hva jeg skriver her, da er det en bølge som skyller over meg: Jeg skulle så gjerne skrive ned alt om ham som har hopet seg opp i meg gjennom mange måneder. Men jeg skjønner det nesten ikke - jeg skal forsøke å gripe det nøyaktige øyeblikket da det skjer." Torsdag kveld, 28. oktober, 1943.

Hélène Berr er blevet kaldt ’den franske Anne Frank’. Hélène er af jødisk afstamning og bor med sin familie i Paris, da byen bliver besat af tyskerne i 1940. De mange indgreb overfor jøderne gør hendes tilværelse stadig sværere, så for at lette sit hjerte, begynder hun i april 1942 at skrive dagbog. Senere samme år begynder deportationen af de franske jøder. Hélène fortsætter med at skrive, til hun bliver arresteret i marts 1944 og ender i kz-lejren Bergen-Belsen. Her dør hun, svækket af sygdom, i en alder af 24 år, kort tid før befrielsen. Hélènes dagbogsoptegnelser giver et hjerteskærende og enestående indblik i de franske jøders vilkår og livet i den franske hovedstad under besættelsen.”Dagbog 1942-1944” udkom første gang på dansk i 2008.Hélène Berr (1921-1945) var en fransk-jødisk kvinde, der skrev dagbog om livet i Paris under den tyske besættelse af byen. Hun døde i Auschwitz i april 1945, fem dage før lejren blev befriet.Mariette Job (f. 1950) er Hélène Berrs niece. I 1992 fandt og udgav hun manuskriptet til Berrs dagbog.
