Richard McCombs oversaw one of the first American companies to return to Vietnam after the embargo was lifted. Keep Smiling is about my experiences living and working there while negotiating and operating a joint venture with the government of Vietnam
Richard went to Vietnam because he was the only person at American Rice (ARI) who volunteered to go. ARI was the largest rice company in the United States. ARI had been invited to form a joint venture (JV) with the largest state-owned rice company in The Socialist Republic of Vietnam. In Vietnam, rice was the most valuable and politically sensitive commodity. ARI's goal was to process rice using ARI's technology and marketing strength and export Vietnamese rice to ARI's global customers. Vietnam's goal was to improve their rice production and expand their exports. Neither entity was clear about how the values and practices of socialism would mix with the business practices of capitalism, but therein lies the story.
Vietnam's national communist government had almost no experience dealing with capitalism and foreign investors. There was a lot of speculation about how Americans would be received, given Vietnam's recent history. This book explains how this project was perilous, both personally and professionally, and offers an insight into the struggles Richard had living and working there as well as the struggles Vietnam had with opening the country for business with outsiders.
As Ambassador Pete Peterson (first U.S. Ambassador after President Clinton lifted the embargo) stated in the Foreword to Keep Smiling "Keep Smiling is a thoughtful and informative compilation of an American businessman's personal and professional experiences in the early days of Vietnam's open-door economic policy.
"Readers will especially appreciate how the author cleverly weaved into the story a delightful illustration of Vietnamese culture, cuisine, and infrastructure as it was in the early 1990s. Once you pick up Keep Smiling you will not put it down until you reach its final page. It will keep you smiling or perhaps even laughing at times "
Richard's background was CEO of the second largest winery in California after graduating from Stanford University Graduate School of Business and Amherst College. He was a Conscientious Objector during the Vietnam war.

Описание: Richard McCombs presents S?ren Kierkegaard as an author who deliberately pretended to be irrational in many of his pseudonymous writings in order to provoke his readers to discover the hidden and paradoxical rationality of faith. Focusing on pseudonymous works by Johannes Climacus, McCombs interprets Kierkegaardian rationality as a striving to become a self consistently unified in all its dimensions: thinking, feeling, willing, acting, and communicating. McCombs argues that Kierkegaard's strategy of feigning irrationality is sometimes brilliantly instructive, but also partly misguided. This fresh reading of Kierkegaard addresses an essential problem in the philosophy of religion—the relation between faith and reason.

Описание: Vividly bringing to light the tradition of physical comedy in the French cabaret, cafe-concert, and early French film comedy, this book answers the perplexing question, "Why do the French love Jerry Lewis?" It shows how Lewis touches a nerve in the French cultural memory because, more than any other film comic, he incarnates a distinctively French tradition of performance style.

Описание:
What happens when six naпve, immature, unprepared college students go to a costume photo shop at different times to have their picture taken? They get transported to an alternate world where they then realize they should have listened much closer to the couple taking their pictures. They find themselves thrown together in life-or-death situations where they either pull together or perish.
It takes days before they finally figure out that what they had chosen to wear is what they would have to survive on their trip through the magical Kingdom of Felgar. There are kings and queens of several kingdoms within this world of islands. Along the way, they will meet ladies and bandits, dragons and fairies, wizards, evil sorcerers, pirates, and creatures never seen before. Trees and plants that are alive and beings so horrible that they can frighten your soul from within you! This place is a real hell on earth, and they had to be prepared to deal with all the situations that came about.
What they put on, held on to, and carried was all they had to survive in this strange and very deadly, beautiful, mysterious medieval world. What they didn't have or needed they could buy, trade, or even kill for. The group finally reaches a point they understand they must complete the mission given to them to topple the Dark Lizard Priest and free the Kingdom of Felgar from his grasp before they are able to return home to their own world.
