Passing Obamacare

Passing Obamacare

Glenn Troy Morton

Hello fellow Americans My name is Glenn, and I am founder of the Occupy Obamacare SuperPAC...and own an insurance brokerage firm in Maryland. As an insurance broker, I became very interested in promoting the benefits of federal health reform. I have seen the effects of high premiums first hand, and wanted positive change in this important area. Becoming more familiar with the contents of the law, combined with my understanding of the health care system, helped me realize how harmful some of the effects would be, and I had a change of heart. ObamaCare is more destructive to our health and incomes than is being reported to the public and, if you knew what I know, you would do what you could to get it changed for the better. The way to change it is to offer a better alternative. Staying the same isn't good, either. So many of us suffer and die due to the lack of affordable healthcare and health insurance. It truly is a problem that must be fixed. Fortunately, it can be: o) The better alternative...one that strikes an agreeable middle ground...is in the pages of "Passing Obamacare". It is our responsibility, as Americans and as wage earners, to use our voice, and our vote, to make our country better. It isn't going to happen without us. Writing this book is my attempt to add my voice, and to do something to protect our health and future financial capabilities. It's also a serious attempt at good humor If you're into laughing until it hurts...THIS is the book for you: o) This effort is not about idealogy...they don't ask your party affiliation on your tax return. It's about money, and caring for you and your loved ones when you get sick. That's important to all of us, right or left. Thank you for reading, for purchasing the book (if I'm so blessed), and for learning. Glenn Troy Morton Author

Choose Our Walk Carefully, Our Steps Are Numbered

Choose Our Walk Carefully, Our Steps Are Numbered

Troy Glenn Henson

Createspace Independent Publishing Platform

Were we able to peer into the distance and see our destinies laid out before us at this very moment in time, we would not see one static image, rather we would find something that more closely resembles a cinematic montage of possibilities. As children, we are shaped by the world around us; as young adults, we are shaped by our decisions and actions. Sometimes we are affected by events without even realising that it is happening and at other times we can watch our world change right before our eyes. Each step along the cobbled path of our lives shapes our futures, which are ever evolving. Troy Henson Explores in heart wrenching detail how easily a life can be molded by circumstance. With unparalleled honesty, he explores mental illness. Abuse, abandonment, drug and alcohol addiction, and recovery. We follow his journey, not as outsiders looking in but as passengers, experiencing something that is equally as beautiful as is tragic. The message we are left with is this "The pursuit of happiness requires us to focus on possibilities instead of impossibilities". With focus, dedication, desire and love, even the deepest of wounds can be mended. Troy Henson was born and raised in Australia. He is a father, a brother and a son, but above all, he is a man with the voice of a poet and the heart of a warrior. Having experienced so many painful and sobering events in his own life, Troy Henson is dedicated to sharing his story in an effort to help others see that, while we may not have the power to change our histories, we do have the power to change our futures.

Glenn Gould: The Performer in the Work

Glenn Gould: The Performer in the Work

Kevin Bazzana

Oxford University Press
1997
sidottu
This book is a detailed study of the Canadian pianist, broadcaster, writer, and composer Glenn Gould (1932-82). While focussed primarily on his performances, it also situates his work and thought more broadly within relevant musical, cultural, intellectual, and historical contexts. It incorporates most of the existing primary and secondary literature on Gould, as well as many ideas, interpretations, and perspectives that have never before been offered. It alsoincorporates ideas from a wide range of literature, both musical and otherwise, and has benefitted from on-site research at The Glenn Gould Papers in the National Library of Canada. The book offers a more comprehensive, balanced, and thoroughly researched portrait of Gould as pianist and interpreterthan any previous volume in the Gould literature. Following an introduction that summarizes Gould's career and the posthumous interest in him, the book divides into two parts. Part 1, `Premises', focuses on the intellectual and aesthetic ideas that informed Gould's performances, and draws on literature from many fields, including music history and aesthetics, cultural history, the history of performance practice, theatre, literary criticism, and music analysis. The three large chapters of Part 1 cover a wide range of topics: Gould'sidealism, views on the musical work, musical tastes, and repertoire; his position on the role of the performer; the analytical, critical, and ethical discourses embodied in his performances; and his approach to performance in the contexts of Romanticism, modernism, neo-Classicism, post-structuralism, thehistorical performance movement, twentieth-century theatrical and literary practices, and cultural currents in the 1950s and 1960s. Part 2, `Practices', focuses in detail on Gould the pianist, illuminating important features of his style through prose description and critical analysis, and including graphic musical examples and plates. This second part focusses on specific aspects of Gould's performance practices: his relationship to the piano; his approach to counterpoint, rhythm, dynamics, articulation and phrasing, and ornamentation; and his uses of recording technology as a kind of performance practice. A conclusionserves in part as a summary of previous findings, but also discusses how, in light of these findings, Gould's work as a performer might ultimately be assessed.

Essays set the studios in the context of an inquiry into the local practice of a global architecture.The studio work shows an application, in the Northwest environment, of Murcutt's fundamental principles. These projects often present architecture that has a precise engagement with local conditions and the natural environment. The collected studio work shows a full progression from site sketches through detail development, in drawings and models.

University of Wisconsin Press

Glenn Ford - star of such now-classic films as Gilda, Blackboard Jungle, The Big Heat, 3:10 to Yuma, and The Rounders - had rugged good looks, a long and successful career, and a glamorous Hollywood life. Yet the man who could be accessible and charming on screen retreated to a deeply private world he created behind closed doors. Glenn Ford: A Life chronicles the volatile life, relationships, and career of the renowned actor, beginning with his move from Canada to California and his initial discovery of theater. It follows Ford's career in diverse media - from film to television to radio - and shows how Ford shifted effortlessly between genres, playing major roles in dramas, noir, westerns, and romances. This biography by Glenn Ford's son, Peter Ford, offers an intimate view of a star's private and public life. Included are exclusive interviews with family, friends, and professional associates, and snippets from the Ford family collection of diaries, letters, audiotapes, unpublished interviews, and rare candid photos. This biography tells a cautionary tale of Glenn Ford's relentless infidelities and long, slow fade-out, but it also embraces his talent-driven career. The result is an authentic Hollywood story that isn't afraid to reveal the truth.

Glenn Miller & His Orchestra

Glenn Miller & His Orchestra

George Simon

Da Capo Press Inc
1980
pokkari
Moonlight Serenade, Sunrise Serenade, Little Brown Jug, In the Mood... These and other memorable tunes endeared Glenn Miller to millions in the Swing Era and all who recall those times. After playing trombone and arranging for leading orchestras of the Dorsey brothers, Ray Noble, Ben Pollack, and Red Nichols, Glenn Miller formed his own "sweet" band, which from 1938 to 1942 achieved widespread popularity second only to Benny Goodman's. Miller learned all he could from these and other bands like Jimmie Lunceford's and Artie Shaw's, going on to create a uniquely rich sound with clarinet over four saxes and four trombones ("three-part harmony sounds too thin," he once exclaimed). Simon tells of both the successes and hard times of Miller's illustrious career, up to his celebrated Army Air Force band and his untimely death.

Glenn Burke, Game Changer

Glenn Burke, Game Changer

Phil Bildner

FARRAR, STRAUS GIROUX INC
2024
sidottu
An inspiring picture book biography about Glenn Burke, the first Major League Baseball player to come out as gay, and the story of how he created the world's most recognizable handshake, the high five. Playing for the Los Angeles Dodgers, Glenn Burke could do it all--hit, throw, run, field. He was the heart of the clubhouse who energized his teammates with his enthusiasm and love for the game. It was that energy that led Glenn to invent the high five one October day back in 1977--a spontaneous gesture after a home run that has since evolved into our universal celebratory greeting. But despite creating this joyful symbol, Glenn Burke, a gay Black man, wasn't always given support and shown acceptance in return. From acclaimed author Phil Bildner, with illustrations from Daniel J. O'Brien, this moving picture book biography recognizes the challenges Burke faced while celebrating how his bravery and his now-famous handshake helped pave the way for others to live openly and free.

Glenn Gould

Glenn Gould

Peter Ostwald

WW Norton Co
1998
nidottu
The Canadian pianist Glenn Gould was a child prodigy and a musical genius whose 1955 recording of Bach's "Goldberg Variations" catapulted him to world fame. He was also plagued by lifelong depression, was terrified of playing before live audiences, and consumed prescription drugs by the handful. He died at fifty of a massive stroke. In this acclaimed biography, the late psychiatrist Peter Ostwald — himself an accomplished violinist and longtime personal friend of Gould's — raises many questions about Gould and his music. Was his genius sponsored by eccentricity or vice versa? Do those with genius sacrifice themselves for a higher ideal while remaining personally unfulfilled? Ostwald lays bare the energy and contradiction behind Gould's brilliance. "Learning more of the man, absorbing Peter Ostwald's picture and analysis, has sharpened my ears and made me more acutely receptive.... [An] important and illuminating biography."—Oliver Sacks "[A] superb psychological study ... a poignant personal memoir."—Time "This brisk book is discerning rather than reductive, and guaranteed Freud-free.

Glenn H. Curtiss

Arcadia Publishing

Glenn Curtiss beat even the Wright brothers (who sued him bitterly) to get pilot s license No. 1 in America. He teamed with Alexander Graham Bell, helped develop the moving wing part known as the aileron, introduced tricycle landing gear, made the first airplane sales, and turned aeronautics into a multimillion dollar business. His innovations ranged from the Curtiss Pusher to the hydroaeroplane, the flying boat, and the Curtiss Jenny. Curtiss, his engines, and his airplanes dominated the world of early aviation on this side of the Atlantic. Glenn H. Curtiss: Aviation Pioneer charts Curtiss s breakneck course across two continents, North America and Europe, setting speed and distance records, experimenting with military applications, always striving for a safer, faster airplane. Fostering both water flyers and shipboard landing, he became the Father of Naval Aviation. But even the skies were not wide enough for the busy brain of Curtiss. Glenn H. Curtiss: Aviation Pioneer also tracks his dizzying ride from a village bicycle shop to record-smashing motorcycle races, futuristic travel trailers, and city building in the Florida land boom."

Syracuse University Press

Glenn Curtiss (1878–1930) was a self-taught aeronautical engineer, a self-­made industrialist, and one of the first airplane pilots, the model for "Tom Swift." C. R. Roseberry’s biography begins with Curtiss’s years in Hammondsport, New York, his experiments with designing and learning to fly his own airplanes, and his many "firsts" in aviation history. Establishing one of the first aviation schools, Curtiss also developed a highly successful aviation company and designed one of the most popular early American planes—the Curtiss JN-4 (the "Jenny"). More than just a biography, this is also a well-documented history of the development of aviation and the key figures associated with it during the first three crucial decades of this century. Through an examination of Curtiss’s dealings with people such as Alexander Graham Bell, his original partner, and Wilbur and Orville Wright, his most important rivals, Roseberry provides insight into the overall development of flight in America. Aviation enthusiasts, historians, those interested in American technology and industry, and all who enjoy a good story will welcome this book.

Glenn Brown

Rizzoli International Publications
2010
sidottu
A beautifully designed monograph surveying the career of artist Glenn Brown. Luxuriously filled with over 56 images, this book documents the bravura of Brown’s brushwork and his unique evocation of images. Recognized for his sheer, flat surfaces—intricately described yet deprived of mass, whose ambiguity is heightened further when altering colors, forms, or details taken from such gestural artists as Frank Auerbach, Salvador Dalí, Chiam Soutine, or Vincent Van Gogh—Brown creates a carnivalesque world where the rational and irrational, the beautiful and the grotesque are brought together in a vigorous state of play.

I like my paintings to have one foot in the grave, to be not quite of this world. For me they exist in a dream world, a world that is made up of all the accumulated images stored in our subconscious that coagulate and mutate when we sleep. -Glenn Brown. Mining art history and popular culture, Brown has created an artistic language that transcends time and pictorial conventions. He creates a space where the abstract and the visceral, the rational and irrational, the beautiful and grotesque churn in a dizzying amalgamation of reference and form. In paintings completed over the last three years, including some of his largest works to date, Brown confronts traditional subjects of still life and portraiture. With characteristically fleshy textures beneath remarkably flat and glossy surfaces, the scenes evoke traditional memento mori.
