The Burning Bush - Collected Speeches of Elias Simojoki

Elias Simojoki

Sinopsis

Lauri Elias Simojoki (1899-1940) was a Finnish soldier, parliamentarian, Lutheran priest, far right organizer, and leader of an attempted coup in Estonia. As a young man, he served in the Finnish War of Independence in 1918 and fought as a guerrilla fighter in Karelia in 1919. Later, he studied theology at the University of Helsinki and was an essential part of the formation of the youth nationalist organization the Academic Karelia Society.
Ordained as a Lutheran minister in 1925, in 1933 he joined the Finnish parliament and took command of the Sinimustat, the youth wing of the Patriotic People’s Movement, inspired by and modeled on similar movements in Germany and Italy. Although the Sinimustat was disbanded a mere three years later due to its involvement in an attempted coup in Estonia, Simojoki remained a Member of Parliament and went on to found the Finnish Mustapaidat (Blackshirts) in 1937. He enlisted as a military chaplain at the outbreak of the Winter War and lost his life to Soviet gunfire while performing a mercy killing to a wounded horse on the battlefield.
The Burning Bush (Palava Pensas) is a selection of Simojoki’s patriotic and political speeches compiled by his comrade Vilho Helanen in 1942. It is in these speeches that Simojoki’s commitment to, and love for, Greater Finland stands out above all else. It is for Greater Finland that Simojoki worked all his life, the grand dream for which in the end he sacrificed his life. These speeches, translated by Jarno Alander, are now being made available in English for the first time by Antelope Hill Publishing.

The Inward Stage - A Performer's...

Alexander Beresford

The Inward Stage is not a memoir. It is not a manual. It is not a book of secrets. 
It is a quietly luminous document, part philosophical journal, part poetic confession, written by a mindreader who spends his life performing illusions for others while quietly unraveling deeper truths for himself. 
Drawn from times spent backstage, between cities, between minds, and between silences, these pages reveal the reflections of a man who reads thoughts not for applause, but for understanding. He writes of wonder, failure, silence, intimacy, and the sacred art of disappearing at just the right moment. 
This is a book for those who have performed, on stages or in life, and for anyone who has ever longed to be understood beneath the surface. 
Written in fragments, aphorisms, and meditations, The Inward Stage is a love letter to mystery, a witness to the sacredness of connection, and a guide for those who find themselves standing quietly at the edge of the visible world.

Breaking Bad - The Ultimate...

BREAKING BAD
THE ULTIMATE TRIVIA AND CURIOUS FACTS COLLECTION
CREATED BY TRIVIA HUB
Breaking Bad is a critically acclaimed American crime drama created by Vince Gilligan, following Walter White, a chemistry teacher who turns to making meth to secure his family's future after a cancer diagnosis. The show, set in Albuquerque, explores themes of morality, family, and the consequences of choices. Bryan Cranston's portrayal of Walter earned widespread praise, as did the show's accurate depiction of chemistry and meth production. The series also includes symbolism, like the pink teddy bear, and its use of color to enhance storytelling. Breaking Bad has become one of the most acclaimed television shows of all time, spawning a franchise that includes Better Call Saul and El Camino.
CURIOUS FACT SAMPLES:
The show's title, "Breaking Bad," is a Southern colloquialism that means "raising hell". However, it also has a broader meaning, which can mean to "go wild" or "defy authority".
Vince Gilligan, the creator of Breaking Bad, had previously worked on the science fiction series The X-Files. He wanted to create a series where the protagonist becomes the antagonist, going from "Mr. Chips into Scarface".
The initial concept for Breaking Bad was that the main characters would cook meth in an RV and drive around the country to make money. This concept came about when Gilligan was joking with a fellow X-Files writer about being unemployed.
The show was initially set to be filmed in Riverside, California, but it was moved to Albuquerque, New Mexico because of the financial incentives. The story setting was then changed to match the production's location.

THE VOICE
THE ULTIMATE TRIVIA AND CURIOUS FACTS COLLECTION
CREATED BY TRIVIA HUB
The Voice is an American singing competition television series that premiered on NBC in 2011. The show seeks to find unsigned singing talent through public auditions. The competition is open to solo or duet artists aged 13 and up. The winner receives $100,000 and a record deal with Universal Music Group.
The series features a panel of four coaches who critique the artists' performances and mentor their teams. The coaches compete to have their act win, making them the winning coach. The show employs a "blind audition" format, where coaches select artists based on their voice alone. The coaches' chairs turn towards an artist they want. The coaches also use "blocks" and "replays".
CURIOUS FACT SAMPLES:
The Voice is an American singing competition based on the original The Voice of Holland. It is the only version in the franchise that doesn't include its country's name.
The show's concept involves "Blind Auditions" where coaches select team members based solely on voice, with chairs turned away from the performer. If more than one coach wants the same artist, the artist gets to choose which coach they want to work with.
In the "Battle Rounds," coaches pair up their team members to perform duets, and then choose one to advance. Celebrity advisors help the coaches with this process.
The "Knockout Rounds" feature individual performances by paired teammates, who are not told who they are paired with until a few minutes prior to performing. The artists choose their own songs, with continued advice from their coaches.

Pardon My French - Food faux pas...

Rachael Mogan McIntosh

At the school gate, when she accidentally kissed one new friend on the nose and called another a 'beautiful man-horse', Rachael realised that small-town France could hardly be more different to beach-side Australia. The smell of cigarettes replaced the tang of bone-broth and sprouted sourdough, the neighbours sometimes came to blows and under no circumstances would anyone 
wear active wear in public. Ever. 
 
Muddling through every interaction in terrible French pushed Rachael's family to their limits. Some days, everybody cried and ate their feelings with almond croissants. But the town of Sommières embraced these ragtag Australians, and the family fell in love with their temporary hometown and its outrageous gossip, cobblestoned beauty and kind, eccentric inhabitants.  
 
Pardon My French is a candid, hilarious love letter to family life and France with three valuable lessons for overcoming adversity: make home a beautiful nest, lean into the tough lessons and look for the comedy in everything.
