What does it mean to be a "diva"? A shifting, increasingly loaded term, it has been used to both deride and celebrate charismatic and unapologetically fierce performers like Aretha Franklin, Divine, and the women of Labelle. In this brilliant, powerful blend of incisive criticism and electric memoir, Deborah Paredez—scholar, cultural critic, and lifelong diva devotee—unravels our enduring fascination with these icons and explores how divas have challenged American ideas about feminism, performance, and freedom. American Diva journeys into Tina Turner's scintillating performances, Celia Cruz's command of the male-dominated salsa world, the transcendent revival of Jomama Jones after a period of exile, and the unparalleled excellence of Venus and Serena Williams. Recounting how she and her mother endlessly watched Rita Moreno's powerhouse portrayal of Anita in West Side Story and how she learned much about being bigger than life from her fabulous Tía Lucia, Paredez chronicles the celebrated and skilled performers who not only shaped her life but boldly expressed the aspiration for freedom among brown, Black, and gay communities. Paredez also traces the evolution of the diva through the decades. Filled with sharp insights and great heart, American Diva is a spirited tribute to the power of performance and the joys of fandom.Ver livro
THE NEW KALISHNIKOVS :: AK-47 - aka Drones This poem is about the new invention in war, of small arms arsenals - The Drone. Coming on the heels of the former mass produced and used small arm the - Kalashnikov rifle. The similarities of the AK and Drones, for widespread use are their cheapness to build relative to their use - cost benefit. Their individual strike and their reliability, and their effectiveness. In all its guises, it represents a new era in remote 'close contact'. The Drone itself being sent from a remote location and controlled at a remote location, but the target being an individual, small group or military vehicle like the Tank. Drones are fast becoming the choice of weapon in the modern age for battlefield contact. * Absolutely NO A.I. has been used in the creation of this Poem.

In the world of business and marketing, stories have power. They have the power to capture attention, to resonate, to move people to action, to shape perceptions and to drive loyalty. Business leaders and marketers are increasingly recognizing the val-ue of Storyselling as a powerful strategic tool. As Peter Guber, a noted film producer and CEO of Mandalay Entertainment, said, “Stories have a unique power to move people’s hearts, minds, feet and wallets in the storyteller’s intended direction.” Consider the case of Apple Inc. When Steve Jobs returned to Apple in the late 1990s, he faced a company on the brink of bankruptcy. To resurrect the brand, he used Storyselling to reframe the company’s image, recasting Apple as a rebellious upstart challenging an industry titan, Microsoft. He told con-sumers, “Here’s to the crazy ones, the misfits, the rebels, the troublemakers!” This narrative of thinking differently resonat-ed with consumers and helped turn Apple into one of the most valuable companies in the world. Indeed, research backs the power of Storyselling. According to a study published in the Journal of Marketing in 2020, nar-ratives are proven to be more persuasive than facts alone. The study demonstrated that when participants were presented with a story, they were more likely to be persuaded by the content, even when the facts were identical to those presented without a story.Ver livro

BRAVEHEART THE ULTIMATE TRIVIA COLLECTION FROM THE MOVIE DIRECTED BY MEL GIBSON CREATED BY FILM TRIVIA METAVERSE ABOUT THE FILM "Braveheart" is an epic historical drama set in 13th-century Scotland, directed by and starring Mel Gibson. The film follows William Wallace, a common man who leads a revolt against the oppressive rule of King Edward I of England. After the brutal execution of his wife, Wallace embarks on a journey to unite the Scottish clans in their fight for freedom. The film explores themes of liberty, sacrifice, and leadership, focusing on Wallace’s personal journey and the broader struggle for independence. With intense battle sequences and emotional depth, "Braveheart" highlights the cost of fighting for justice. TRIVIA SAMPLES: “Mel Gibson initially rejected the role of William Wallace, believing he was too old. However, Paramount Pictures insisted on casting him, so Gibson eventually accepted.” “When a local asked why the Battle of Stirling Bridge was filmed on an open plain instead of the actual bridge, Gibson humorously responded that "the bridge got in the way." The local retorted, "Aye, that's what the English found." “One of the film's extras mistook one of Mel Gibson's children for an errand boy and asked him to fetch tea. Gibson overheard and whispered to his son, "Go get it." “In an interview in 2009, Mel Gibson acknowledged that the film was heavily fictionalized but defended the changes as necessary for dramatic effect. He also mentioned that he felt at least a decade too old to play Wallace.”Ver livro
