Milkman to Millionaire


Book Description

Biography of Sardar Jodh Singh Sardar Jodh Singh: A Life of Courage and Fortitude Sardar Jodh Singh’s inspirational story is filled with unexpected highs and lows. His larger-than-life quest for success makes him a role model for every middle-class citizen. Armed with nothing but grit and determination, the man managed to fight against adversity and emerge as a winner repeatedly. Throughout his journey, the only constant was his love, affection and devotion with regard to his family. Having lost his mother at a young age, Sardar Jodh Singh was no stranger to sorrow and hardship. He put his nose to the grindstone very early in life, understanding that the whims and vagaries of fate spare no one. Despite his fortitude, fate was unkind to him repeatedly. The family lost everything due to the blood-soaked event of the Partition. They were uprooted from their ancestral lands and lost contact with the men and women they had grown up around and spent years with. The brutal consequences of the geographical bifurcation of the country had wide-ranging effects on the lives of ordinary people like Jodh Singh. Not one to be deterred so easily, Jodh started life from scratch in newly-formed India. He slowly put together everything that his family needed- a roof over their heads, a source of income and social capital. He began the business of cattle trade and dairy products with just one coincidental deal but expanded until he had a monopoly in the field. He earned fame and trust as a businessman, all through his ethical practices and hard work. Later, he mastered many other fields such as transportation, the fodder business and even education. In his last few years, his philanthropic work led to his name becoming synonymous with benevolence and righteousness.

The People Against Nancy Preston


Book Description

James Tierney, Incorporated, formerly known in his old police headquarter days as Bonehead Tierney or Solid Ivory, pawed a bristly reddish-white mustache as he sat at his desk in his suite high above downtown New York, the guardian of the riches of as profitable a clientele as ever a private detective might desire. Some paunchiness had come with the years of fat living and there was a heave and roll above his collar in the back as a collop sought release from the conventions of dress; yet his blue eyes were as keen as ever, the strength of his jaw showed beneath the plumpening cheeks and his interest in the game of man-hunting was never so great.

Physical Characteristics of Early Films as Aids to Identification


Book Description

Any archivists who have held a piece of fi lm in their hands, wondering how to go about identifying it, recognize the true value of fi lm preservationist Harold Brown's work. In 1967 Brown delivered a pioneering lecture on the identification of early films at the annual Congress of the International Federation of Film Archives (FIAF) in East Berlin. Years of working with Britain's National Film Archive collections, and the close examination of thousands of nitrate prints of the silent period, made Brown a leading authority on early fi lm identification, and an unsurpassed model of methodological consciousness in the archival field. In 1990, FIAF published Brown's Physical Characteristics of Early Films as Aids to Identification, an updated version and a continuation of his 1967 lecture. This publication has long been archivists' trusted companion, constituting a concentrated encyclopedia on all the information that can be discovered or verified through aspects of the fi lm other than the actual projected image – such as perforation shapes; embossed and punched marks; stock manufacturers' and producers' edge marks; frame characteristics; title styles; and production serial numbers. It also included essays on key individual production companies of the silent era. Over the last 30 years, this manual – a basic typewritten 100-page volume (including 20 pages of black & white illustrations), with its easily recognizable red cover – has been an invaluable reference for fi lm archivists and scholars. However, as Brown himself acknowledged in the 1990 edition, the manual was far from definitive. Camille Blot-Wellens, the editor of this new, expanded edition of Brown's 1990 book, belongs to the new generation of researchers who have used Physical Characteristics extensively in their work and have gathered considerable new information on the subject. This new edition is the result of a project she initiated in 2014 with FIAF's support. Brown's original text is now augmented with new original research on key fi lm manufacturers and producers by Camille Bolt-Wellens and other leading archivists and researchers in the field. Richly illustrated (the book contains over 900 images, including 125 in full color), this new 336-page edition of Harold Brown's seminal manual will be welcomed by many, and will no doubt become a must-have working tool for many in the fi lm archiving and academic fields.
