More than once the author has described her childhood as having been an unhappy one, a fact she attributes to the early death of loved ones (her mother and her grandfather), the resulting vague feelings of guilt and living through the Second World War. Early in her life Welsh started to process her experiences by writing and inventing stories. At the age of fifteen she was awarded a scholarship and went to Portland, Oregon, as an exchange student for one year. In 1955 she started to study English, Spanish and political sciences; however, after her wedding in 1956 she broke off her university studies in order to work for the British Council in Vienna. Initially she worked there part-time and as of 1962 she started to work as a freelance translator. She began to write after she had had to stay at a hospital for an extended period in the Year of 1968. This long phase of being bedridden and contemplating triggered her first book, Der Enkel des Löwenjägers (The Lion Hunter’s Grandson), which was on the Roll of Honour on the occasion of the 1970 Austrian State Award. Since 1975 Renate Welsh has worked as a freelance writer. In her comprehensive and versatile overall work she has written about the current tendencies of change in a modern childhood and youth in an exemplary and socially committed way.

  • 1967 APBA PRO FOOTBALL SET ROSTER the Following Players Comprise the 1967 Season APBA Pro Football Player Card Set
    1967 APBA PRO FOOTBALL SET ROSTER The following players comprise the 1967 season APBA Pro Football Player Card Set. The regular starters at each position are listed first and should be used most frequently. Realistic use of the players below will generate statistical results remarkably similar to those from real life. IMPORTANT: When a Red "K" appears in the R-column as the result on any kind of running play from scrimmage or on any return, roll the dice again, refer to the K-column, and use the number there for the result. When a player has a "K" in his R-column, he can never be used for kicking or punting. If the symbol "F-K" or "F-P" appears on a players card, it means that you use the K or P column when he recovers a fumble. Players in bold are starters. If there is a difference between the player's card and the roster sheet, always use the card information. The number in ()s after the player name is the number of cards that the player has in this set. See below for a more detailed explanation of new symbols on the cards.

He imagined it looked like haole blood. But it wasn't his or anyone else's. He'd struggled all his life to avoid being labeled a haole. He knew everybody's blood was the same color, though it looked like it could've been spilled from a white man's veins. But the machine didn't bleed, it leaked. Taylor squinted up at the greasy stainless-steel mast of the stand-up fork lift. His forearm shielded his eyes from the drips but blocked his vision, and he brushed the graying blonde strands off his forehead. A tightly banded braid kept his shoulder-length hair from sticking in his moustache and beard like velcro. He rolled his tight neck muscles, shrugged his husky shoulders and stepped out of the machine to get away from the harsh glare of the big halogen light. He figured it must be that hose clamp again.

  • College All-Star Football Classic, August 2, 1963 • All-Stars 20, Green Bay 17
    College All-Star Football Classic, August 2, 1963 • All-Stars 20, Green Bay 17 This moment in pro football history has always captured my imagination. It was the last time the college underdogs ever defeated the pro champs in the long and storied history of the College All-Star Football Classic, previously known as the Chicago Charities College All-Star Game, a series which came to an abrupt end in 1976. As a kid, I remember eagerly awaiting this game, as it signaled the beginning of another pro football season—which somewhat offset the bittersweet knowledge that another summer vacation was quickly coming to an end. Alas, as the era of “big money” pro sports set in, the college all star game quietly became a quaint relic of a more innocent sporting past. Little by little, both the college stars and the teams which had shelled out guaranteed contracts to them began to have second thoughts about participation in an exhibition game in which an injury could slow or even terminate a player’s career development. The 1976 game was played in a torrential downpour, halted in the third quarter with Pittsburgh leading 24-0, and the game—and, indeed, the series—was never resumed. But on that sultry August evening in 1963, with a crowd of 65,000 packing the stands, the idea of athletes putting financial considerations ahead of “the game” wasn’t on anyone’s minds. Those who were in the stands or watching on televiosn were treated to one of the more memorable upsets in football history, as the “college Joes” knocked off the “football pros,” 20-17.

A local Southeast Asian autonym is borrowed into Chinese, undergoes sound changes affecting the Chinese language, and then returns to the original populations, or to other populations. The result is a coexistence of ethnonyms of highly different phonetic outlook but originating in the same etymon. We will examine four families of ethnonyms, mostly Austroasiatic and Tai-Kadai. Some of these ethnonyms are still in use today, others are known through Chinese texts where they are transcribed by phonograms.
