  Did you ever wonder what might happen if your cat turned human? When feisty Tiffany loses her temper with boyfriend Anthony, and accidentally topples a set of inherited Egyptian figurines, ancient forces take their mischievous revenge...and grant her careless wish that men were more like her tabby cat Felix.It's fun at first, as Tiffany and Felix gleefully launch him into her social circle, but it soon becomes clear that charismatic Felix spells trouble. As he wins lightning-fast success as a talented artist, Tiffany and her friends' relationships begin to flex and recalibrate - not always for the better.There's something more afoot here; and Tiffany realises that whatever's got into her cat and his art, has appeared before in her curious family.Suspicious elders, Ozzy and Iris, circle as 'Felix' and his artworks peak and spiral into trouble. Tiffany meets a promising new love and, in this tightly-woven dark comedy of manners, develops a conscience about some - but not all - of Felix's effects on her friends' lives. Torn between helping fast-deteriorating Felix evade Ozzy and Iris's sinister grasp, or just washing her hands of him, she finally chooses. But none see coming the bizarre opportunity seized by fading but predatory and cunning Felix.

  Don't just see the sights—get to know the people. 
  Set in Africa, but not wholly African; an isolated nation, yet receptive to the outside world; hierarchical and conservative, yet innovative and desirous of modernity; conformist as a people, and fiercely independent as individuals? The Ethiopian identity defies definition. Ethiopia exists simultaneously in different time periods. Its people, when they see something new that might work to their advantage, will embrace it and find ways to improve on it. Modern democracy, however, has understandably been slower to bloom given the strong historical antecedents of its monarchy. 
  Culture Smart! Ethiopia unpacks the values, attitudes, and traditions of this culturally rich nation. Etiquette in daily life, socializing, and communicating are all helpfully described, and advice is given on how to make the most of a visit. Above all, it provides the tools to do so in a considerate and sensitive manner. 
  Have a richer and more meaningful experience abroad through a better understanding of the local culture. Chapters on history, values, attitudes, and traditions will help you to better understand your hosts, while tips on etiquette and communicating will help you to navigate unfamiliar situations and avoid faux pas.

  RUGRATS 
  THE ULTIMATE TRIVIA AND CURIOUS FACTS COLLECTION 
    
  CREATED BY TRIVIA HUB 
    
  Rugrats is an American animated television series created by Arlene Klasky, Gábor Csupó, and Paul Germain for Nickelodeon. The show focuses on the day-to-day lives of a group of toddlers, most prominently Tommy, Chuckie, Phil, and Lil, and their imaginative adventures. The series premiered on August 11, 1991, and ran for 9 seasons, totaling 172 episodes. It is Nickelodeon’s third-longest-running animated series, behind SpongeBob SquarePants and The Fairly OddParents. The series is also notable for depicting observant Jewish families. Rugrats received numerous awards, including a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. A reboot of the series premiered on Paramount+ in 2021. 
    
  CURIOUS FACT SAMPLES: 
    
  The series Rugrats was created by the then-husband-and-wife duo of Gábor Csupó and Arlene Klasky, along with Paul Germain. The trio were also animating The Simpsons at the time and decided to create their own series after Nickelodeon announced that they were launching their own line of animated series.  
    
  The original pilot episode of Rugrats, titled "Tommy Pickles and the Great White Thing," was never actually aired. This pilot was eventually released on DVD by Paramount Home Entertainment in 2001.  
    
  The character of Angelica was based on a bully from Paul Germain’s childhood. Although Klasky initially disliked the character of Angelica, she eventually came to appreciate her role in the show.
