Catherine Paiz grew up far from the spotlight, in the vibrant multicultural city of Montreal, Canada, where her dreams began. When her path led her to Los Angeles, she built a life that seemed like a fairy tale: love, children, and a pioneering YouTube career that influenced millions. As part of The ACE Family, she became a familiar face around the globe. But behind the scenes, Catherine was carrying heartbreak, facing betrayal, navigating intense public scrutiny, and slowly losing herself.

C-L-I-N-T. In that short, sharp syllable, there is an emblem of American manhood and morality and sheer bloody-minded will, for better and worse, on screen and off, for more than sixty years. Whether he's holding a pistol, an orangutan, or a boxing glove; whether he's facing down bad guys on a western street (Old West or new, no matter); staring through the lens of a camera; or accepting one of his thirteen Oscars (including two for Best Picture); he is as blunt, curt, and solid as his name.

From the day she was born, Tamara Yajia entered the world on a wave of absurdity. She was the newest member of a family no one would call normal, from her grandfather the salami obsessed poppers salesman, to her mother, the OnlyFans model. Not only will her family try anything once, like moving to the United States and opening a food stand named Sexy Chicken; they'll try anything multiple times, like moving back to Argentina, then back to the United States, all while Tamara manages to achieve some success as a preteen child actress.

Charlie, Dennis, Mac, Sweet Dee, and Frank are deplorable characters. They will never mature, become more self-aware, or less self-involved. That is what the creators of It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia are committed to—and that’s why the show’s millions of devoted fans have stuck with the cult comedy hit for over sixteen seasons and counting. As thoughtful, provocative, and engaging as the show itself, this book also explores how the show has pushed the envelope and used absurdist comedy to explore major societal issues, including the #MeToo movement, LGBTQ+ rights, racism, and more.

Originally published in 1988, and charting the first decade of Prince's meteoric rise, Prince: Imp of the Perverse, was the earliest book to explore Prince's prodigious and eccentric talent. Prince Rogers Nelson stood alone as a musical maestro amongst his peers, and proved you could do it all yourself: write, play, perform, produce and take control of your career. He took American pop by the scruff of the neck and shaped it to his own mercurial ends.

De-a lungul acestor pagini intime, la fel de sincere ca o conversație personală, Stone vorbește despre rolurile sale esențiale, despre prieteniile care i-au schimbat viața, despre cele mai mari dezamăgiri și realizările ei cu adevărat importante. Dezvăluie cum a trecut de la o copilărie plină de traume și violență la o carieră într-o industrie care, în multe privințe, a fost ecoul acelorași agresiuni, sub paravanul banilor și al farmecului.

Richard Wagner setzte für Figuren, Vorgänge und Gefühle charakteristische Leitmotive ein und entwickelte dies im Ring des Nibelungen zu einer systematischen Methode. Das von ihm propagierte Gesamtkunstwerk verbindet unterschiedliche Künste wie Musik, Dichtung und Schauspiel zu einer Einheit.

على ارتفاع 97 كيلومترا، نظرت إلى أسفل واستطعت رؤية الثقب الذي أحدثته مركبتنا الفضائية في طبقة الأكسجين الرقيقة ذات اللون الأزرق الخفيف حول الأرض. بدا الأمر كما لو أن هناك أثرًا خلفنا، والذي اختفى ما إن نظرت إليه. تابعت جولتي ذاتية التوجيه والتفت إلى الجهة الأخرى للتحديق في الفضاء. أنا أحب ألغاز الكون. وأحب كل الأسئلة التي خطرت ببالنا على مدار آلاف الأعوام. من الاستكشاف والفرضيات ينتقل إلينا ضوء النجوم بعد انفجارها بأعوام وتمتص الثقوب السوداء الطاقة، وتظهر لنا الأقمار الصناعية مجرات كاملة في مناطق كان يعتقد أنها خالية تماما من المادة... كل هذا أثار حماسي لأعوام.

Libro que describe la obra de algunos directores y escritores que tocan temas de la enfermedad mental. Se mencionan películas que destacan de alguna manera en el funcionamiento del cerebro. El director no hace un documental sobre trastornos psiquiátricos solo los ejemplifica, y es la labor del profesional el guiar al lector y matizar partes de su enfermedad y los puntos similares del actor y los mitos que hay sobre médicos, psicofarmacos y causas de las enfermedades psiquiátricas. EN muchas culturas el recomendarte asistir a un medico especialista en psiquiatría es un insulto. Antes ...

The burgeoning lesbian and feminist movements of the '70s and '80s created an impetus to form more independent and equitable social and cultural institutions—bookstores, publishers, health clinics, and more—to support the unprecedented surge in women's arts of all kinds. Olivia Records was at the forefront of these models, not only recording and distributing women's music but also creating important new social spaces for previously isolated women and lesbians through concerts and festivals.

I see this book as an Unfinished Symphony and tribute to a man who even in his own time attained legendary and even mythic status. This was originally a long paper written for a Folklore class at the University of Pennsylvania in 1994. Even though it was just a term paper, I poured my heart into the project, reading everything I could about Morrison, listening to the Doors music, and reflecting on why Morrison was just so damn charismatic. Reading it through again today, I feel it still holds up and will definitely be of interest to Doors fans and those interested in exploring the man ...
