Bang Bang Crash
by Nic BrownA rock and roll drummer abandons his successful music career to pursue his true passion and discovers a deeper understanding of artistic fulfillment in this episodic memoir of swapping one dream for anotherIn the mid-1990s, fresh out of high school, Nic Brown was living his childhood dream as a rock and roll drummer. Signing a major label record deal, playing big shows, hitting the charts, giving interviews in Rolling Stone, appearing on The Tonight Show—what could be better for a young artist? But contrary to expectations, getting a shot at his artistic dream early in life was a destabilizing shock. The more he achieved, the more accolades that came his way, the less sure Brown became about his path.Only a few years into a promising musical career, he discovered the crux of his discontent: he was never meant to remain behind the drums. In fact, his true artistic path lay in a radically different direction entirely: he decided to become a writer, embarking on a journey leading him to attend the Iowa Writers&’ Workshop, publish novels and short stories, and teach literature to college students across the country.Bang Bang Crash tells the story of Nic Brown&’s unusual journey to gain new strength, presence of mind, and sense of perspective, enabling him to discover an even greater life of artistic fulfillment.

Banking Horizon: Competitive Exam
by Ms Vandana Vijay DharmadhikariTill recently, banking business was carried on by an exclusive few for an exclusive few. With the onset of reforms and advancements in banking technology, banking is now accessible to one and all. Banking is no more the exclusive domain of few. Today, banking touches, whether we like or not, each one of us if in our daily life. ATMS, Credit Cards, remittances, savings, deposits, home loans, vehicle loans, payment of bills: there are numerous bank products that every one of us use. Some of us are also able to transact in our account sitting at home and more often trade in the stock market too! Yet all of us may not have a clear understanding of all terms that are used by banks. We might be presuming certain things and may not be taking informed financial decisions. If this situation has to be overcome it is essential to make banking known to one and all and de-jargonize the banking world. The objective of education is to spread knowledge. Knowledge is most effective if it is disseminated in a simple and understandable way. That is what this book 'Banking Horizon' is about. This is an English version of ‘Banking Jidnyasa - Curiosity of Banking’ a popular Marathi book.
Banking On Accessibility
by Xavier'S Resource Centre For The Visually ChallengedThis is a representation report voicing concerns of Persons with Disabilities in access to financial services despite existing legal and executive provisions mandating their financial inclusion. It is a comprehensive document that can be used by regulatory and governance authorities like the Reserve Bank of India, banks, other associated bodies, decision makers and policy experts. It shall aid them in monitoring and evaluation of existing guidelines and the level of their implementation in reality. It articulates problems faced by users and makes strong recommendations to improve the scenario. The scope of the report is largely focussed on infringement of rights of persons with visual impairment who use or propose to use banking facilities. However, we propose that a similar in-depth study be conducted to understand the ground level realities for various other kinds of disabilities and ensure that everyone has a seamless and accessible banking experience.
Banned: How I Squandered an All-Star NBA Career Before Finding My Redemption
by Jacob Uitti Michael Ray RichardsonMichael Ray Richardson was a star in the making. After a stellar collegiate career at the University of Montana, where he was voted first team All-Big Sky Conference as a sophomore, junior, and senior, the future seemed bright. Taken fourth overall in the 1978 NBA Draft by the New York Knicks, Richardson was billed as &“the next Walt Frazier.&” In just his second professional season, he became the third player in NBA history to lead the league in both assists and steals—both Knicks team records. Richardson would also notch four All-Star appearances and twice being named to the All-Defensive team over eight seasons between the Knicks, Golden State Warriors, and New Jersey Nets. But during that time, his time off the court was having a bigger impact on his career than what he was doing on the court. On February 25, 1986, after three violations of the league&’s drug policy, NBA commissioner David Stern would ban Richardson from continuing his professional career. His struggles with drugs and alcohol were well documented, and someone considered the next big thing became the first player in league history to be receive a lifetime ban. For most people, this would be the end to their story—one in which their substance abuse would take over and their downfall inevitable. However, that was not in the cards for Michael Ray Richardson. In Banned, Richardson opens up about his life both on and off the basketball court, discussing all the highs and lows that made him both a hero and a villain. Though being reinstated to the NBA in 1988, he would instead have stints in the United States Basketball League and CBA before taking his talents to Europe. With stints in Italy, Croatia, and France, he would lead his teams to numerous championships in his decade-plus overseas. Now back in the states and running youth basketball clinics, Banned is Richardson&’s first opportunity to open up about his life, showing that though you may get knocked down—even from self-inflicted actions—the only person that can count you out is yourself. With forewords from Hall of Famers George &“The Iceman&” Gervin and Nancy Lieberman, this is the story of the Michael Ray Richardson as only he can tell it.

Banyu Tej Nyay: બન્યું તે જ ન્યાય
by Dada Bhagwanજો તમે બન્યું તે ન્યાય કહેશો તો તમારા બધા પ્રશ્નો દૂર થઇ જશે. છતાંપણ, લોકો ન્યાય ખોળે છે અને મુક્તિની ઈચ્છા પણ રાખે છે. આ વિરોધાભાસ છે. તમને બન્નેના મળી શકે. જ્યાં સમસ્યાઓ પૂરી થાય છે ત્યાં મુક્તિની શરૂઆત થાય છે. આ આપણા અક્રમ વિજ્ઞાન ( ક્રમ વિનાનું આત્માનું જ્ઞાન ) તરીકે ઓળખાતા વિજ્ઞાનમાં કોઈ પ્રશ્નો રહેતા નથી. તેથી લોકો માટે આ માર્ગે ચાલવું સહેલું છે. પરમ પૂજ્ય દાદાશ્રીએ આ જગતને અસામાન્ય શોધ આપી છે કે આ જગત માં ક્યારેય પણ અન્યાય થતો જ નથી. જે બન્યું તે જ ન્યાય. કુદરત ક્યારેય ન્યાય થી વિરુદ્ધ ગઈ નથી. કુદરત એ કોઈ વ્યક્તિ કે ભગવાન નથી કે જે કોઈ પ્રભાવ હેઠળ હોય. કુદરત એટલે સાયન્ટીફીક સરકમસ્ટેનસીયલ એવીડન્સીસ. એક કાર્ય પૂરું થવા માટે ઘણા બધા સંજોગો ભેગા થવા જોઈએ.
Baptist Beliefs: What is Baptism? The Scriptures and Christian Tenets of the Baptist Church
by Edgar Young MullinsBaptist Beliefs: What is Baptism? The Scriptures and Christian Tenets of the Baptist Church by Edgar Young Mullins offers a clear and comprehensive guide to the core doctrines and practices that define the Baptist faith, with a particular focus on the theology of baptism. Mullins, a prominent Baptist theologian and educator, presents these beliefs in a way that is both accessible and rooted in Scripture, making this book essential reading for Baptists and those interested in understanding the distinctiveness of the Baptist tradition.Central to the book is Mullins’ exploration of the meaning and significance of baptism. He examines baptism as an ordinance commanded by Christ, symbolizing the believer’s identification with Jesus in His death, burial, and resurrection. Mullins also emphasizes that baptism is reserved for those who make a personal profession of faith, underscoring the Baptist conviction of believer’s baptism over infant baptism. He draws from New Testament teachings to explain how baptism serves as an outward expression of an inward transformation, affirming the believer’s new life in Christ.Beyond baptism, Mullins discusses other core tenets of the Baptist faith, such as the authority of Scripture, the importance of personal faith, religious liberty, and the autonomy of the local church. His reflections highlight the Baptist emphasis on individual responsibility before God and the need for a personal relationship with Christ, while also affirming the communal nature of faith within the church body.Baptist Beliefs provides readers with both theological insights and practical guidance for living out the Christian faith. It is an invaluable resource for anyone seeking to understand Baptist distinctives, including new believers, students of theology, and church leaders. Mullins’ thoughtful exposition encourages believers to embrace baptism and other practices with understanding, conviction, and joyful obedience to God’s word.

Barefoot Tribe: Take Off Your Shoes and Dare to Live the Extraordinary Life
by Palmer ChinchenGive your life away and discover God’s unique purpose for you.As a first grader living deep in the Liberian jungle, Palmer Chinchen watched a young African girl quietly pull the shoes off her feet—her only shoes, her only protection from the parasites that crawl between the toes of so many tribal children—to slip them on his sister’s feet, whose shoes were left behind in their burning bamboo mat house in the bush. That image of tribal love and empathy has stayed with Palmer and continues to drive his passions. Today, Palmer sees a new kind of tribe forming with the same kind of desires, a tribe of people who are bothered by the brokenness all around, who are passionate about goodness, justice, and beauty. They are leaving their places of comfort to feed the hungry, give clean water to the thirsty, build houses for the homeless, share clothes with the shivering and shoes with the barefoot. This tribe is ready to change the world for good, and we, too, must heed that call today. Conversational, fresh, and accessible, Barefoot Tribe dares us to break past the safe confines of our manicured suburbs and polished shopping malls to take action, take risks, and remake the world into one more like what Jesus had in mind. Your time to act is now. God wants your life. Will you speak up, step out, and do something incredible…today?
