Ari Fish believes in two things: his hero-Wayne Timcoe, the greatest soccer goalie to ever come out of Somerset Valley-and luck. So when Ari finds a rare and valuable Wayne Timcoe trading card, he's sure his luck has changed for the better. Especially when he's picked to be the starting goalie on his team. But when the card is stolen-and his best friend and the new girl on the team accuse each other of taking it-suddenly Ari can't save a goal, everyone is fighting, and he doesn't know who, or what, to believe in. Before the team falls apart, Ari must learn how to make his own luck, and figure out what it truly means to be a hero.

Beyond just a simple biography, "Kylie Minogue: Beyond Lucky" vividly explores the complex life of a worldwide musical superstar. A lady whose narrative goes well beyond chance, exploring the depths of ability, determination, and cultural influence, the title opens a portal into the remarkable life of Kylie Minogue. That Kylie's achievements are the result of more than just good luck is captured by the phrase "Beyond Lucky" in her story. It suggests that her path has been predetermined yet guided by an unfaltering dedication to her art. The title suggests a deeper tale that delves into Kylie's life, both in and out of the limelight, and invites readers to explore its complexities. Kylie Minogue has established a permanent niche in mainstream culture, where artists frequently come and go according to the ebb and flow of popularity. She has always been able to reinvent herself, overcome obstacles, and make an everlasting impression on the world of entertainment. A story that explores the talent and tenacity that characterize Kylie's lasting impact, "Beyond Lucky" delves beyond the typical ups and downs of a celebrity's existence. Unexpected twists, fortuitous occurrences, and the meeting of skill and opportunity are all parts of Kylie's story, which the title alludes to. It does, however, stress that she is defined not by chance but by the decisions she made, the risks she took, and her innate aptitude, all of which helped her achieve extraordinary success. As readers begin on the pages of "Kylie Minogue: Beyond Lucky," they are encouraged to witness the rise of a pop phenomenon who converted "luck" into a tapestry of worldwide impact, musical invention, and cultural resonance. The title acts as an open door, asking readers to come into the amazing world of Kylie Minogue, where the trip is not merely a stroke of luck but a planned dance with fate that goes well beyond what meets the eye.

Beyond Lucky! How does a man like Brian "Glaze" Gibbs roll the dice and escape a death sentence, multiple life sentences, and survive the New York City drug wars that resulted in hundreds of people being killed - too many of them by him. He has been described as the murderer with a big heart and endless charisma. Beyond Lucky is Brian "Glaze" Gibbs' story; it is a story of extraordinary violence, brutality and finally redemption. What makes Brian's story so special is that individuals such as Leslie Caldwell, Assistant Attorney General, who fought to get him into the Witness Protection Program -- after Glaze confessed to five counts of murder, attempted murders and drug trafficking. After serving only eight years and eight months for his crimes, he was given a new identity and made his home in Denver Colorado. Unbeknownst to his neighbors - he was a murderer in their midst. It was time to save one more life - his own. He walked a straight line; working as a salesman at Nordstrom, a supervisor at UPS, and a security guard. It's easy for Brian to say he has changed, been redeemed, but to have it confirmed by key individuals whom he is still in contact with such as: Joe Ponzi, Chief Investigator for the New York State District Attorney's Office and Leslie Caldwell. FBI agents Richard Martinez and David Higgins who originally were Glaze's nemesis, fought to get him one more chance at life. When asked why he was so fortunate, he responded, "Well, I wonder myself, but I'm not one to second guess God." Brian "Glaze" Gibbs, describes in great detail how despite being raised by a loving mother and being a church going child he became a major drug lord; He started out as an enforcer for one of the most notorious drug lords and eventually became so bloodthirsty that his mentor and accomplices had to restrain him. In Beyond Lucky Brian admits he was guided by a distorted logic and the peer pressure of the inner city and the desire to be Fly; shakin, money makin and stylin'. It's an extraordinary story, from the bloody streets of New York to being singled out by Joe Biden's 1996 senate subcommittee investigating the effectiveness of the Witness Protection Program. During that hearing US Government admitted it had given him the deal - while believing he was responsible for fifty murders. He was also allowed to keep thirty five million dollars from his trade as a drug lord. Brian "Glaze" Gibbs is the blueprint for every drug lord that that grew up in the Five Boroughs of New York City. A story any wannabe criminal, drug dealer should read before hitting "The Street" wanting to make $40,000 a day.

Luck And Circumstance written by Michael Lindsay-Hogg and has been published by Knopf this book supported file pdf, txt, epub, kindle and other format this book has been release on 2011-09-27 with Performing Arts categories.
From acclaimed director Michael Lindsay-Hogg (The Normal Heart, The Beatles’ Let It Be, Brideshead Revisited, The Rolling Stones Rock and Roll Circus, etc.), son of glamorous Warner’s movie star Geraldine Fitzgerald: a magical dreamscape memoir of his boyhood, coming-of-age, and making his way in the worlds of theater, film, and television. Lindsay-Hogg’s father, an English baronet from a family whose money came from the China trade, lived in Ireland and was rarely seen by his son. The author’s stepfather was the scion of the Isidor Straus fortune, co-owner of R. H. Macy’s; Straus went down with the Titanic, and the author’s stepfather was, alas, fortune-less. The author's mother, Geraldine Fitzgerald, the redheaded Irish seductress who won instant acclaim as Bette Davis’s best friend in Dark Victory and in William Wyler’s Wuthering Heights, spent time with Hollywood’s elite—Laurence Olivier, Charles Chaplin, and Orson Welles, with whom she worked in New York at the Mercury Theater and in other productions. Lindsay-Hogg writes of how he wented his way into this exotic, mysterious, and seductive world, encountering as a small boy the likes of Marion Davies and William Randolph Hearst, playing hide-and-seek with Olivia de Havilland, serving drinks to Humphrey Bogart, discussing life with Henry Miller. At the book’s center, an offhand comment made to Lindsay-Hogg by his mother, when he was sixteen, about talk circulating (false, she claimed) that she had had a romantic relationship with Orson Welles (Fitzgerald and Welles had lived together at his home in Beverly Hills) and that Welles, rumor had it, was Michael’s father (“It’s not true,” she said. “You know how people put two and two together and get three . . .”). That was the end of the conversation. (“It’s time for bed . . . You have school in the morning . . .” she said.) For Lindsay-Hogg, it opened up a whole new realm of his life. He was forever changed by the knowing—of not knowing. Interwoven throughout his narrative is the element of questioning who his father was. Was he the patron saint of American pictures, the legendary genius of the twentieth century, Orson Welles, a consistently inconsistent person in Michael’s life . . . or was he the man who considered himself Michael’s real father? What did his “father” know? What did Welles know? And what did his mother know to be true (she had brought the author up to believe that she always told the truth)? And when would she tell her son what the truth was . . . As Lindsay-Hogg struggled to make sense of it all, questions of missed chances, conversations never had, questions of what is withheld and what is true took root, dogging him, shaping his life . . . questions still, that haunt and inform this moving, deft, and illuminating memoir.

“I don't know when I've been so wowed by a new author” –Chip Health, co-author of The Power of Moments and Switch A talented journalist reveals the hidden patterns behind what we call "luck" -- and shows us how we can all improve outcomes despite life’s inevitable randomness. "Do you believe in luck?" is a polarizing question, one you might ask on a first date. Some of us believe that we make our own luck. Others see inequality everywhere and think that everyone’s fate is at the whim of the cosmos. Karla Starr has a third answer: unlucky, "random" outcomes have predictable effects on our behavior that often make us act in self-defeating ways without even realizing it. In this groundbreaking book, Starr traces wealth, health, and happiness back to subconscious neurological processes, blind cultural assumptions, and tiny details you're in the habit of overlooking. Each chapter reveals how we can cultivate personal strengths to overcome life’s unlucky patterns. For instance: • Everyone has free access to that magic productivity app—motivation. The problem? It isn’t evenly distributed. What lucky accidents of history explain patterns behind why certain groups of people are more motivated in some situations than others? • If you look like an underperforming employee, your resume can't override the gut-level assumptions that a potential boss will make from your LinkedIn photo. How can we make sure that someone’s first impression is favorable? • Just as people use irrelevant traits to make assumptions about your intelligence, kindness, and trustworthiness, we also make inaccurate snap judgments. How do these judgments affect our interactions, and what should we assume about others to maximize our odds of having lucky encounters? We don’t always realize when the world's invisible biases work to our advantage or recognize how much of a role we play in our own lack of luck. By ending the guessing game about how luck works, Starr allows you to improve your fortunes while expending minimal effort.
