  THE ULTIMATE TRIVIA AND CURIOUS FACTS COLLECTION 
    
  CREATED BY TRIVIA HUB 
    
  Jackie Chan, born Chan Kong-sang, is a Hong Kong actor, director, writer, producer, martial artist, and stuntman. Known for his slapstick, acrobatic fighting style and innovative stunts, he is considered one of cinema's most iconic martial artists. He began his career as a child actor and part of the Seven Little Fortunes at the Peking Opera School. His breakthrough came with Snake in the Eagle's Shadow (1978), establishing his comedic kung fu style. He gained international recognition with films like Rumble in the Bronx (1995) and Rush Hour (1998). Chan is a global star with numerous awards, including an honorary Academy Award. He has also had success as a singer and philanthropist. 
    
  CURIOUS FACT SAMPLES: 
    
  Jackie Chan's birth name was Chan Kong-sang, which literally means "Chan the [Hong] Kong-born". He later changed his Chinese name to Fang Shilong (房仕龍) to reflect his father's original family name. 
    
  Before becoming a film star, Jackie Chan was a member of the Seven Little Fortunes at the Peking Opera School, where he trained in acrobatics, martial arts, and acting. He adopted the stage name Yuen Lo during this time. 
    
  Jackie Chan's first major breakthrough role was in the 1978 film Snake in the Eagle's Shadow, which helped establish the comedic kung fu genre. He was given complete freedom over his stunt work by the director. 
    
  In the 1980s, Jackie Chan was part of the "Three Dragons" with Sammo Hung and Yuen Biao, starring in six Hong Kong films together. These three had become close friends while at the Peking Opera School and were known as the Three Brothers.

  Flying is one of the safest modes of transportation, but should we and can we make it even safer? Elmar Lutter, President & CEO at Lufthansa Technik Philippines, believes unequivocally that we should. But how, in a field mired with technical and design complexities, reliance on human judgement, impossible timing constraints, and how-to-manuals that go on for miles, do we?In Error Traps: How High-Performing Teams Learn to Avoid Mistakes in Aircraft Maintenance, Lutter challenges us to focus on our sphere of influence to avoid mishaps. In doing so, we can practice certain behaviors and attitudes that can:• Intercept chains of events that have the potential to cause damage.• Avoid predictable errors to reduce the exposure to becoming collateral damage in mishaps initiated outside of our sphere of control.Through a journey of compelling aviation experiences, Lutter offers four tools that every individual in aircraft MRO can and should employ to ensure they have done their very best to keep their team on the ground and the pilots and passengers in the air as safe as possible.Using real-world examples to connect the dots between 1. Competence: Master the basics 2. Awareness: Be in the moment, know what is coming 3. Compliance: Respect the defenses: read and follow the guidance, and 4. Teamwork: Look after one another,Lutter shares important insights and life lessons drawn from more than twenty years of collective knowledge and experience in an often unforgiving field.

  Are you getting enough? Bestselling travel writer Ben Aitken wasn't.
  
  
  Increasingly flat and decreasingly zen, Ben gave boredom the boot and stress the cold shoulder by embarking on a whimsical journey into the serious business of having a laugh.
  
  
  He did a pilgrimage in Spain, a summer camp in Kent, and a cruise of the Baltic with 2,000 grannies. And when he wasn't on the road, he searched for merriment at home: by giving bridge a go, volunteering a chance, and gardening a crack of the whip.
  
  
  By incorporating the thoughts of key thinkers and boffins, Here Comes the Fun offers a satisfying balance of the playful and the profound, the serious and the silly, the daft and the deep.
