Created by Merwin Gerard and produced by Collier Young, One Step Beyond was hosted by John Newland, "your guide to the supernatural" (also credited as "Our guide into the world of the unknown"). Newland, who also directed every episode, presented tales that explored paranormal events and various situations that defied "logical" explanation. Unlike other anthology programs, the ABC network series episodes were presented in the form of straightforward 30-minute docudramas, all said to be based on "human record" (implying historically factual events); however, the incidents depicted were closer to popular urban legends dramatized for the screen. The program included the corporate name of sponsor Alcoa in its title for its initial run. In syndication, the program title became simply One Step Beyond. This volume includes Four tales of the supernatural from worlds beyond our own. Included are: Episode One: The Bride Posessed - A bride begins to predict features of an area she's never seen. Audio from the television broadcast of January 20th, 1959; Episode Two: Night of April 14th - A girl dreams of drowning in the ocean, then learns her fiance plans a honeymoon for them -- aboard the Titanic.

In this book, Stefan Zweig traces 12 fateful events of world history in his unique artistic style: from the capture of the Byzantine capital of Constantinople by the Turks, to the Battle of Waterloo to Sir Robert Falcon Scott's tragic South Pole expedition. The human character and sometimes simple fate are decisive historic factors that have led to dramatic and lasting changes in the past. Often short, coincidental and highly dramatic moments have the potential to change the future of mankind in a decisive manner – the so called ‘Great Moments of Humanity’. The original book has been published in 1927. “Sternstunden der Menschheit”. The audiobook is based on a new translation from 2021 by Philip Knüppel.Ver libro
THE WOLF OF WALL STREET THE ULTIMATE TRIVIA COLLECTION FROM THE MOVIE DIRECTED BY MARTIN SCORSESE CREATED BY FILM TRIVIA METAVERSE ABOUT THE FILM The Wolf of Wall Street is a biographical black comedy directed by Martin Scorsese, based on the memoir of stockbroker Jordan Belfort. The film follows Belfort’s rise in the world of finance, from working at a modest brokerage firm to founding his own company, Stratton Oakmont. The movie delves into his life of excess, corruption, and debauchery, highlighting themes of greed, moral decay, and the corrupting influence of wealth. With fast-paced storytelling, dark humor, and sharp social commentary, the film critiques the culture of greed and the lengths people will go to achieve success at any cost. TRIVIA SAMPLES: “The actors used crushed B vitamins as a stand-in for cocaine in scenes where the characters snort drugs. Jonah Hill later had to be hospitalized due to bronchitis after excessive inhalation during the filming.” “Martin Scorsese’s films often feature improvisation, and The Wolf of Wall Street was no different. A large portion of the movie was improvised by the actors, as Scorsese encourages it during production.” “Jonah Hill took a significant pay cut to be part of the film, earning only the minimum salary from the Screen Actors Guild, which was $60,000. This decision was driven by his desire to work with Martin Scorsese.”Ver libro
ACTING is a vast and relatively unknown subject... for many. And yet millions are fascinated by it. Why? The answer is because this all-encompassing human art form is as fundamental to the self-actualisation of a human being as reading, writing and maths. We sense this. We know it. Surely the possession of such knowledge would be of great advantage in any profession, in any walk of life, and not just the preserve of stage and film? Why are we not taught these playful and transformative skills in school? This book uncovers why, and reveals top acting secrets, techniques and games that will dramatically change the way you see yourself and the world around you. 'This is a wonderfully helpful book regarding the importance of adults learning to play again, in order to free themselves from the oppressive everyday tramlines we follow...

For her teachings and humanity, my immeasurable gratitude! Watch out for that fourth wall; you might fall through it reading this book.' Seumas F. Sargent, Performer, Blue Man Group, Berlin 'You're a rock, an inspiration, a star-I wish to the heavens I'd had teachers like you when I was at school! My God, I could have done anything.' Richard Down - a player 'My life changed beyond all recognition during the last four years coming to your classes with many, many challenges.
