Inspired by this historic election season that has seen the first viable black presidential candidate and a new sense of hope throughout the nation, Chicago-based gospel balladeer Desmond Pringle has released a new single “Hope is Born” as a free mp3 download.

The Gospel balladeer belts out lines from the heart & mind, reflecting not only the hope of the American people, but also the entire world. “So many weary years, silent tears. Now we give up to a great new time of the year… The ceiling has been shattered, millions of pieces have been scattered…” Whomever The people choose to lead them, Desmond sees hope as already being bought to the country: “we’ve already won, regardless of the outcome.” After all, “hope is born, not only in the White House, but in my house.”

Coinciding with the release of the single, Desmond has launched a new blog calling for people to embrace the power of hope to affect their own realities. The blog will serve as a launchpad for people of all stripes to spread the message of hope born out of this election season and beyond.

“The message is simple: that anything is possible to the one who believes! The assignment is to get the message out to as many people as possible. We are intentional about getting the message downloaded in hearts and encoded in minds. Embracing the premise that, ‘As a man thinketh in his heart so is he’, we are committed to filling the earth with a lot of HOPEFUL people. Desperate days demand us to actively participate rather than passively spectate in life!”

Desmond Pringle is a passionate vocalist with a unique brand of balladry – and one of the most talented songwriter/producers in gospel music today. Whether delivering his signature-smooth ballads, thought provoking lyrics or energetic choir songs, Desmond has already taken his place among the ranks of great gospel artists of his generation.

Desmond’s journey into professional music began in the lead role of the hit gospel musical “A Good Man Is Hard To Find”. His portrayal received an NAACP Image Award nomination. The native South Carolinian then relocated to Chicago in 1993 to further develop his musical prowess. His work as a singer/songwriter gained him contributions to award-winning artists including Yolanda Adams, Bishop T. D. Jakes, R. Kelly and The Thompson Community Singers. Add to that– stellar performances at the Stockholm Gospel Festival and the award as the Best Male Vocalist by the African American Religious Connection. In 1998 his independent release “Psalms, Hymns and Spiritual Songs” grabbed the attention of Chicago radio and led to a deal with Tommy Boy Gospel. “Loyalty” attracted a broad-base, diverse, multicultural audience, and Desmond’s first class musical performances won the enthusiastic respect of music lovers and accolades of industry professionals alike.

“Gospel music is a very simple – but powerful vehicle that is able to change hearts”, says Desmond. “Sharing my ministry and music with integrity is the most important thing in my life.”

The Praise Singer $3.98 In the story of the great lyric poet Simonides, Mary Renault brings alive a time in Greece when tyrants kept an unsteady rule and poetry, music, and royal patronage combined to produce a flowering of the arts. Born into a stern farming family on the island of Keos, Simonides escapes his harsh childhood through a lucky apprenticeship with a renowned Ionian singer. As they travel through 5th century B.C. Greece, Simonides learns not only how to play the kithara and compose poetry, but also how to navigate the shifting alliances surrounding his rich patrons. He is witness to the Persian invasion of Ionia, to the decadent reign of the Samian pirate king Polykrates, and to the fall of the Pisistratids in the Athenian court. Along the way, he encounters artists, statesmen, athletes, thinkers, and lovers, including the likes of Pythagoras and Aischylos. Using the singer's unique perspective, Renault combines her vibrant imagination and her formidable knowledge of history to establish a sweeping, resilient vision of a golden century.

Fergie (Singer) $55.49 High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! Stacy Ann Ferguson (born March 27, 1975), better known by her stage name Fergie, is an American singer-songwriter, fashion designer, actress, and part-owner of the Miami Dolphins. She was a member of the children's television series Kids Incorporated, and the girl group Wild Orchid. Ferguson was also a co-host of the television show Great Pretenders.

The album spawned five Billboard Hot 100 Top 5 singles (three of which went to number one) making The Dutchess the seventh album from a female artist to spawn five Top 5 hits.

The Praise Singer $53.95 Mary Renault was born in London and educated at Oxford. She then trained for three years as a nurse, and wrote her first published novel,bPromise of Love/b. Her next three novels were written while serving in WWII. After the war, she settled in South Africa and traveled considerably in Africa and Greece. It was at this time that she began writing her brilliant historical reconstructions of ancient Greece, includingbThe King Must Die, The Last of the Wine/b, andbThe Persian Boy/b. She died in Cape Town in 1983.KEOSbrbrIbrbrKeos is stern. You'd not suppose so from the proverb, that it knows not the horse nor ox, but is rich in the gladdening vine-fruit, and brings forth poets. That last had not been added, when I was born. On the other hand, it is a lie that on Keos a man has to take hemlock when he reaches sixty. That was only in the old siege when the warriors had to be kept alive. Nowadays, it is just considered good manners.brbrIulis, my native city, is high up the mountain, above Koressia harbor. I used to sit on a rock with my father's sheep around me, looking at the foreign sails and wondering where they came from; they thread the Kyklades from all four corners of the world. I could seldom go down to see. My father was not a man to leave his land to a steward while he sat at ease, nor let his sons go sightseeing. My elder brother, Theasides, got leave from work much oftener than I; not because he was the heir, which would have made it heavier, but because he was good with the disk and javelin and a fine pankratiast, and had to train for the games to do the family credit. He was handsome too. My parents never told me in so many words that they preferred me out of sight, but they had no need. I seemed to have known it from my birth.brbrKeeping out of sight, one is a good deal alone. But if one is short of company, one can always make it.

The World Market For Parts For Sound Or Television Recording Or Reprod $405 On the demand side, exporters and strategic planners approaching the world market face a number of questions. Which countries are supplying parts for sound or television recording or reproducing equipment? What is the dollar value of these imports? How much do the imports of parts for sound or television recording or reproducing equipment vary from one country to another? Do exporters serving the world market have similar market shares across the importing countries? Which countries supply the most exports of parts for sound or television recording or reproducing equipment? Which countries are buying their exports? What is the value of these exports and which countries are the largest buyers? In what follows, Chapter 2 begins by summarizing the regional markets for imported and exported parts for sound or television recording or reproducing equipment. The total level of imports and exports on a worldwide basis, and those for each region, is based on a model which aggregates across over 150 key country markets and projects these to the current year. From there, each country represents a percent of the world market. This market is served from a number of competitive countries of origin. Based on both demand- and supply-side dynamics, market shares by country of origin are then calculated across each country market destination. These shares lead to a volume of import and export values for each country and are aggregated to regional and world totals. In doing so, we are able to obtain maximum likelihood estimates of both the value of each market and the shares that countries are likely to receive this year. From these figures, rankings are calculated to allow managers to prioritize markets. In this way, all the figures provided in this report are forecasts that can be combined with internal information for strategic planning purposes.

Excerpt from book: ACROSS CHANNEL ONE short June night of yearning, One bird's clear matin song, Twelve hours of golden sunshine? A day twelve hours too long; A race through Kentish hop-fields, A flashing arc of blue, The low, green fields of Flanders? And then I come to you ! O stars, desist from roaming, Wake birds and call the light; Morn melt in noon and midday Mix instantly with night; ACROSS CHANNEL 23 Throb with my haste, hot engines, Set seaward, wind and tide? My heart outleaps each moment That keeps me from your side ! A SONG OF DAWN From A. P. Jacobsett Awake to joy, O flowers, Arise and throw The dewdrops from your faces ! The sun puts forth his powers, The stars must go To hide in dim sky-spaces. Already through the grass The mottled snake Glides to the water's edge. A SONG OF DAWN 25 The rosy dawn-mists pass And birds awake To sing in hurst and hedge. Drop from the lily's cup, Bright lady-bird, And bid your wife come too ! The summer sun is up, The lark is heard, The world is born anew ! DOUSHA MOYA Dousha moya, once long ago I spoke the Russian words in jest, Which pleased thee, though thou didst not know Their highest meaning and their best, Nor dream that thou shouldst come to be Dousha moya, the soul of me. Dousha moya, if thou shouldst tire And care no more to be the breath Of impulse, and the active fire That keeps my soul from sloth and death, How aimless life and work would be, Dousha moya, deprived of thee !

Born to Lose - $14.99 In this gritty independent drama, Stevie (Joseph Rye) is the lead singer of an up-and-coming Southern California punk band called the Spoilers. Stevie has both pipes and charisma, and the band has real potential, but the Spoilers also have a huge appetite for alcohol and drugs, especially Stevie, and while the band is looking for a record deal, many labels are wary of working with a band whose singer seems to be an OD waiting to happen. While trying to get his demo heard, Stevie meets a woman (Elyse Ashton) who works in the music business, and she soon offers to help Stevie and his band. She also falls in love with Stevie, but once she becomes involved with him, they both fall headfirst into drug addiction, and it looks likely that Stevie will die from dope long before he becomes a rock star. Born To Lose was the first feature from novice filmmaker and punk rock fan Doug Cawker; the soundtrack features performances by Iggy and the Stooges, The Modern Lovers, The Lazy Cowgirls, The Zeros, The Streetwalkin' Cheetahs, and more. ~ Mark Deming, All Movie Guide

Star Is Born $15.16 A STAR IS BORN was conceived as a comeback vehicle for Judy Garland, who gives a fascinating and heartrending performance in perhaps the finest work of her career. This film was director George Cukor's first musical and first color picture; the tale of a doomed Hollywood couple, it was a remake of the 1937 William Wellman movie with Janet Gaynor and Fredric March. Garland plays young singer Esther, who saves Norman Maine (James Mason), a famous star, from making a fool of himself onstage. Maine is an alcoholic whose career is on the wane but who manages, nonetheless, to acknowledge Esther's talent and help her jump-start a career in Hollywood. But as her star rises and his declines, Maine's misery grows. Harold Arlen and Ira Gershwin provided Garland with songs that would become standards in her concert repertoire, including "The Man That Got Away," which earned an Oscar nomination for Best Song.

John Singer Sargent $50.98 The name of John Singer Sargent evokes paintings of marvelously gowned Edwardian belles, of brooding aristocrats and princes of industry--insightful portraits executed with dazzling virtuosity. Sargent's enduring popularity has prompted a thoughtful reappraisal by prominent art critic Carter Ratcliff, who shows us the surprising breadth of the artist's work. Never before has a book so thoroughly represented that variety: 110 lavish color plates and more than 200 halftones convey the brilliance of his portraits, the exuberance of his watercolors, the stately pomp of his murals. It is perhaps the watercolors that are most exciting to contemporary eyes--bold, spontaneous, and vividly hued, they have a breathtaking immediacy. Born in Florence in 1856 to American parents, Sargent spent a nomadic childhood before going to Paris to study painting. He learned quickly and by the 1880s had begun the steady climb to fame that ultimately placed him at the center of his world, with a circle of friends and rivals that included Henry James, Claude Monet, and James McNeill Whistler. When Sargent died in 1925, a childhood companion wrote in her memorial that "the summing up of a would-be biographer must, I think be: He painted." It is the strikingly beautiful results of that lifelong devotion to his art that glow throughout the pages of this incomparable book. Other Details: 338 illustrations, 110 in full color. 256 pages. 11 x 13" trim size. Published in 2001.

Physics of Classical Electromagnetism $80.49 From the reviews:pThere are quite a large number of works that discuss electromagnetics from a mathematical/engineering perspective. Fujimoto (Univ. of Guelph) tries to present a slightly different approach, focusing on understanding the physics of electromagnetics a ] . Every chapter starts with a physical observation and continues with a general theorem/conclusion. a ] Addition of higher-quality illustrations and figures would improve the visual aspects of the book, and end-of-the-chapter problems would help students. Summing Up: Recommended. Upper-division undergraduates through professionals. (B. Kordi, CHOICE, Vol. 45 (7), 2008)pThe classical electromagnetism described by the Maxwell equations constitutes a fundamental law in contemporary physics. With the advent of sophisticated new materials, the principles are still active in various applied areas in todaya (TM)s advanced communication technologies. Referring to modern materials, this book is written with concise introductory arguments for the physics of electromagnetism, covering basic topics including the nature of space-time-dependent radiations in modern applications. However, noted that the classical concept fails generally at optical frequencies, the limit is a significant obstacle for further technical developments. Following basic discussions of electromagnetism in a modernized approach, this book provides readers with an overview of current problems in high-frequency physics.pAlthough written primarily for students of physics and engineering at undergraduate levels, this book should serve as a useful reference for graduate students and researchers as well. The subject matter in this book is all fundamental, although given examples may appear a little too specific.

Born To Lose $16.84 Take a realistic look into the periphery of the Los Angeles punk rock music scene in this compelling feature that explores the life of the underground band The Spoilers, and lead singer Stevie Monroe's (Joseph Rye) odyssey of nihilism.

Isaac Bashevis Singer And The Lower East Side $19.04 Isaac Bashevis Singer, the Polish-born Yiddish writer and Nobel laureate, and New York documentary photographer Bruce Davidson collaborated on a surreal feature film made in 1973, entitled Isaac Bashevis Singer's Nightmare and Mrs. Pupko's Beard. This film was at once a documentary about Singer's New York and a dramatization of one his short stories. The film grew out of their friendship, as residents of the same building on the upper West Side of Manhattan, and their common interest in New York City street life. During and after production, Davidson made numerous portraits of Singer and also returned to the Lower East Side for a documentary series of photographs. A selection of more than forty of the stunning images made between 1957 and 1990 is available here for the first time in Isaac Bashevis Singer and the Lower East Side: Photographs by Bruce Davidson. The book also includes portraits of Singer, stills from the film, the black and white portfolio known as The Garden Cafeteria, and selections from the Lower East Side series. The Garden Cafeteria was a collaboration depicting denizens of the East Broadway restaurant frequented by Singer during his trips to The Jewish Daily Forward. The portfolio has never been published nor exhibited in its entirety--until this volume. Included is an introduction by Singer himself on Davidson's images, an in-depth interview with Davidson about his art, aesthetic and political views, and his Jewishness, and a reflective, contextual essay by Ilan Stavans on the relevance of this collaboration between the writer and the photographer. Through Davidson's lens we see Singer's literary world of Holocaust survivors and emigres from EasternEurope--a displaced culture in its twilight. This book is a co-publication and appears in conjunction with an exhibition organized and presented by the Mead Art Museum at Amherst College, on the occasion of the centennial celebration nationwide of Singer's birth in 2004.
