  Improbable Journey An - Music...

  Charles G. Lubar

  The year was 1971. Thirty-year-old Charles Lubar, a Washington DC–born Harvard Law School graduate, opted to make his next home in the UK. 
   
   
   
  "Hired off the street" by two American lawyers in London, Lubar could never have predicted that his work would soon put him front and center at some of the biggest moments with some of the biggest names in showbiz. From the James Bond franchise to Linda Lovelace and Deep Throat; from Jim Henson and The Muppets to Michael Jackson and the Beatles; from behind the Iron Curtain to the islands of the Netherlands Antilles, Lubar's rare knowledge of the tax codes spanning Europe and the US made him an indispensable figure to creatives trying to make their financial lives work on both sides of the Atlantic. 
   
   
   
  His list of clients goes on and on: Bill Graham, John Cleese, Santana, Diana Ross, Frank Oz, Chuck Traynor, Marilyn Chambers, Barbara Bach, Jane Seymour, Shakira, and Enrique Iglesias. Many turned to Lubar in real need of his assistance at the very prime (and sometimes, nadir) of their careers. Lubar's bona fides would even land him a spot on the US-UK Fulbright Commission, as president of the Yale Club of London, and a managing partner in London of one of the major international law firms. An Improbable Journey shows a risk-taker with his finger living right on the cultural pulse of a moment.

  "George Dewey, a name etched in the annals of naval history, stands as a testament to courage, strategy, and unwavering resolve. Let us embark on a voyage through the life of this remarkable admiral.    Early Life and Naval Career:  Born on December 26, 1837, in Montpelier, Vermont, George Dewey's destiny was intertwined with the sea.  At age 15, he enrolled at Norwich University in Vermont, but his spirited antics led to expulsion for drunkenness and herding sheep into barracks.  Undeterred, Dewey entered the United States Naval Academy in 1854. His graduation in 1858 marked the beginning of a storied naval career.  Civil War and Rising Through the Ranks:  As the Civil War erupted, Dewey served as the executive lieutenant aboard the USS Mississippi.  He played pivotal roles in the capture of New Orleans and the Siege of Port Hudson, aiding the Union's control of the mighty Mississippi River.  By war's end, Dewey had risen to the rank of lieutenant commander.  The Battle of Manila Bay:  In 1897, Dewey requested assignment to the Asiatic Squadron, anticipating conflict with Spain.  When war erupted in April 1898, he led his squadron to Manila Bay in the Philippines.  On that fateful morning, Dewey's cruisers and gunboats faced the Spanish fleet. His immortal command echoed: "You may fire when you are ready, Gridley."  The result: a resounding victory. The Spanish fleet lay defeated, and Dewey suffered no significant casualties.  His triumph at Manila Bay secured the acquisition of the Philippines by the United States, expanding its power into the western Pacific.  Admiral of the Navy:  Dewey returned home to a hero's welcome in New York City.  In March 1899, the U.S. Congress bestowed upon him the unprecedented rank of Admiral of the Navy.  For the next 17 years, he served on the General Board of the United States Navy, shaping crucial policies.  Legacy:  George Dewey's legacy transcends battles and ranks. His victory at Manila Bay remains a beacon of American naval prowess.  His life straddled two centuries, witnessing naval evolution and global shifts.  Dewey's name graces the National Portrait Gallery in Washington, D.C., a testament to his indelible mark on history.  Admiral Dewey's story, like the sea itself, ripples through time—a saga of valor, leadership, and the enduring spirit of exploration."

  Peter Alliss - Reflections on a...

  Peter Alliss was a truly monumental figure in the world of golf. His voice was the soundtrack to many who have paid even the scantest attention to the old game. This book records Peter's vivid recollections of a life well lived, looking back on his double-edged career in sport and media, one that is unlike any other and is surely never to be repeated.
  Sit back and listen to Peter Alliss do what he did best: ramble on about this and that in that famous voice of his, drawing sharp and funny observations from disparate quarters of life before inevitably tying everything neatly together and returning to the subject of golf. His memory for long-passed names and distant places remained extraordinarily sharp.
  He was also a man of his age which, naturally, meant there were more than a few facets of modern life he found confusing and exasperating. This, however, is surely true for any of us who have lived beyond the point where we wake up each day wondering what we ought to do with our lives.
  He appreciated his good fortune at being able to make a living from his 'ramblings' while, at the same time, possessing an acute awareness of his rare talent for finding the appropriate word or phrase while winging it over a television picture. His belief that, sometimes, silence is more eloquent than words flies in the noisy face of much modern broadcasting. He was all the more appreciated by many of us for sticking to this conviction and for daring to hold firm in the face of changing convention. Peter is gone now, but the spirit of kindness in which he lived his life reverberates still.

  Wiserwoof presents The Stoics Collection.  In this first release we give you a collection of the best Epictetus quotes.  Epictetus was born nearly 2,000 years ago in Hierapolis (present-day Pamukkale in Turkey) as a slave in a wealthy household. Epaphroditus, his owner, gave him the permission to pursue liberal studies and it is how Epictetus discovered philosophy through the Stoic Musonius Rufus who became his teacher and mentor. Later, Epictetus obtained his freedom shortly after emperor Nero's death and started teaching philosophy in Rome for nearly 25 years. This lasted until emperor Domitian famously banished all philosophers in Rome. Epictetus fled to Nicopolis in Greece where he founded a philosophy school and taught there until his death.

  Perseverance Through Severe...

  In Reggie Ford’s bold reassessment of the Black experience in America, he demonstrates that a new understanding of PTSD is required. PTSD, Perseverance Through Severe Dysfunction, as Ford defines it, underlines the darkness of mental health illnesses and behaviors that impact young Black men and have plagued Black Americans for generations. 
  But his reassessment is not doom and gloom. Instead, Ford implores that we turn pain into peace. His uplifting message shows that by realizing, accepting, and treating mental health with grace, kindness, and appreciation of the backgrounds of those needing support, we can reduce the significant impact of PTSD and other mental conditions on not just Black, but all people. 
  Ford uses his own traumatic experiences to inform his call to action. He takes his impoverished and scarred childhood and turns it into a life of promise and abundance. His memoir shines a light on the intergenerational impact of unaddressed mental health issues, showing how the power of a familial network can help or severely harm an individual’s battle with mental health illnesses. He writes searingly of the overwhelming odds and systemic racism that must be overcome by Black Americans in order to reach the heights he has scaled. Ford’s own heartbreaking story is yet an optimistic one, intended to show that mental health has a real and demonstrable effect on Black Americans, but that it can be overcome. 
  PTSD places one man’s experiences in the realm of the broad sociopolitical issues that affect so many Americans. Ford emphasizes that the trauma of society creates situations of mental health issues and behaviors that hold back so many. But he also believes there is room for hope, that his own experiences of overcoming so many hardships and difficulties offer a path for others to follow. Immense suffering, Ford believes, can lead to improbable success.
