Now a major motion picture starring Drew Barrymore, Ted Danson, Kristen Bell, Tim Blake Nelson, John Krasinski, and Vinessa Shaw—an account of the dramatic rescue of three gray whales trapped under the ice in Alaska in 1988. Set in Cold War–era 1988, Big Miracle tells the real story behind the remarkable, bizarre, and oftentimes uproarious event that mesmerized the world for weeks. On October 7, an Inuit hunter near Barrow, Alaska, found three California Gray whales imprisoned in the Arctic ice. In the past, as was nature's way, trapped whales always died. Not this time. Tom Rose, who was covering the event for a Japanese TV station, compellingly describes how oil company executives, environmental activists, Inupiat people, small business people, and the U.S. military boldly worked together to rescue the whales. He also tells the stories of some of the more than 150 international journalists who brought the story to the world's attention. The rescue was followed by millions of people around the world as Ronald Reagan and Mikhail Gorbachev joined the forces of their two nations to help free the whales.

In October 1988 an Inuit hunter saw three grey whales trapped in the frozen Arctic ocean near Barrow, an isolated Alaskan outpost. They were working together to keep their blow hole open, the two adolescents caring for the weaker baby. It was a poignant sight. Filmed by a local television reporter, this tiny regional news story snowballed into a global media frenzy. In this gripping, insightful book Tom Rose describes how journalists poured into Barrow, all woefully ill equipped for the sub-zero temperatures, warming up on bootleg alcohol. As the locals cheerfully found ways to profit from the visitors, Greenpeace activist Cindy Lowry battled to mount an extraordinary rescue operation that would unite conservationists and oil companies, the Inuit and the military, President Reagan and the Kremlin. 'At times a marvelously funny story . . . Beneath the heartwarming aspect of the rescue are darker tales of human greed, and about the power television has acquired to set the agenda of the news' Washington Post 'Few novels could match the characters, plot and dramatic tension' Chicago Tribune

"There is no easy way to say this, so I am just going to say it. Your son has cancer". With those words we instantly became members of a club no parent wants to belong too. The club of; Parents who have a Child with Cancer. However, over the course of our family's journey fighting this disease we came to realize what a special club we had become a part of and how many wonderful people are associated with it. We experienced wonderful days and scary days. Days filled with tears of joy and laughter and days filled with tears of fear and sadness. Along the way though we grew as a family and learned to treasure each moment that God gives us and to do our best to live in that moment. We learned to trust in God and His plan for us and to lean on His will and not our own. We took care of each other, friends and family and life went on as we fought the terrible illness that had attacked our son and our family. "bradyspowers" is a record of that journey and fight. Through it all the Mickey Family never quits and each day ends with "To be continued" because nothing ever really ends and there is always the next new dawn. "Therefore, do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own." Matthew 6:34

Unlike words of a novel where the author may wish to inform the reader of unspoken but intended feelings for the reader, the author adds an aside with additional lines. Such asides in a play will cause the listener’s building emotional connection to get diminished. But it is the double purpose with the words spoken that produce both information and emotion, each with their separate purposeful existences struggling with each other at the very same moment. That is so fascinating in plays and makes me want to try my best at this art form.

Making Things Happen written by James Woodward and has been published by Oxford University Press this book supported file pdf, txt, epub, kindle and other format this book has been release on 2005-10-27 with Science categories.
In Making Things Happen, James Woodward develops a new and ambitious comprehensive theory of causation and explanation that draws on literature from a variety of disciplines and which applies to a wide variety of claims in science and everyday life. His theory is a manipulationist account, proposing that causal and explanatory relationships are relationships that are potentially exploitable for purposes of manipulation and control. This account has its roots in the commonsense idea that causes are means for bringing about effects; but it also draws on a long tradition of work in experimental design, econometrics, and statistics. Woodward shows how these ideas may be generalized to other areas of science from the social scientific and biomedical contexts for which they were originally designed. He also provides philosophical foundations for the manipulationist approach, drawing out its implications, comparing it with alternative approaches, and defending it from common criticisms. In doing so, he shows how the manipulationist account both illuminates important features of successful causal explanation in the natural and social sciences, and avoids the counterexamples and difficulties that infect alternative approaches, from the deductive-nomological model onwards. Making Things Happen will interest philosophers working in the philosophy of science, the philosophy of social science, and metaphysics, and as well as anyone interested in causation, explanation, and scientific methodology.
