  THE ULTIMATE TRIVIA AND CURIOUS FACTS COLLECTION 
    
  CREATED BY TRIVIA HUB 
    
  Rihanna, born Robyn Rihanna Fenty, is a Barbadian singer, songwriter, actress, and businesswoman. Her career began after her demo was heard by Jay Brown, an A&R executive at Def Jam Recordings. She auditioned for Jay-Z and L.A. Reid, signing with Def Jam and releasing her debut album, Music of the Sun, in 2005. Her third album, Good Girl Gone Bad, marked a shift to a more edgy image. In her career, Rihanna has experimented with pop, dubstep, and rock. She has achieved numerous chart records, awards, and has become a pop and fashion icon. Rihanna has also established herself as a successful businesswoman with brands like Fenty Beauty and Savage X Fenty. 
    
  CURIOUS FACT SAMPLES: 
    
  Rihanna's full name is Robyn Rihanna Fenty, and she was born in Saint Michael, Barbados on February 20, 1988. Her mother is Afro-Guyanese, and her father is Barbadian with African, Irish, English, and Scottish ancestry. 
    
  As a child, Rihanna suffered from intense headaches, leading doctors to suspect a tumor. Her health improved after her parents divorced when she was 14 years old. 
    
  Before becoming a singer, Rihanna was a cadet in Barbados's Cadet Corps, where her drill sergeant was the later Barbadian singer-songwriter Shontelle. She initially wanted to graduate high school but chose to pursue a music career instead. 
    
  Rihanna's debut single, "Pon de Replay," was chosen because it was deemed the best song for a summer release. It reached the top five in fifteen countries and became a club hit in the U.S.

  Adapted from the 2015 book Bad Uber, an unintentional antiwork novel. A true account of leaving a worthy career to join the gig economy. 
  As the Uber phenomenon takes over London with its minicab booking app, destroying the trade of the world-famous black cab, trampling history under wheel and smashing prices, Charles Brickfield brings us the life of an Uber driver. 
  This audiobook tracks his first fifty days - from complete novice, to the Christmas party season and New Year's Eve, through to the so called 'Kipper Season'. Brim full of anecdotes delivered with pathos and humour in equal measure, Brickfield offers an authentic voice, not a cynic, just one of the thousands who needed a job and chose to work the night shift, to tickle London’s underbelly as time is called at the bar. Brickfield may be an inept driver, but he is an extremely adept author. 
  As we speak, the map of London is live and the giant game of cat and mouse is in play. 
  Five stars, old boy! Thanks for the ride.

  Youth, although written over a century ago, is just as relevant to hummans today and I believe for all time. Here Conrad  addresses the dimming of our mortal light, that subtle relization  in all of us that we are no longer as vital as we once were.  That mark in time when we acknowledge to ourselves that we are aging, Growing old, dieing.

  City Resilience - Building...

  Lyric Vale

  In an era of rapid urbanization, cities are facing an array of challenges that threaten the sustainability and stability of urban life. From climate change-induced natural disasters to social inequality and economic instability, the vulnerabilities of urban environments are increasingly evident. As the global population continues to concentrate in cities, the importance of urban resilience has never been more critical. Urban resilience refers to a city's capacity to withstand, adapt to, and recover from various shocks and stresses, ensuring the continued wellbeing of its residents and the functionality of its infrastructure. 
  The resilience of urban communities is not just about withstanding external shocks such as earthquakes, floods, or pandemics, but also about the ability to respond to longer-term stresses like climate change, economic fluctuations, and demographic shifts. Cities are complex systems, where the interplay of social, environmental, economic, and technological factors can either contribute to vulnerability or foster the development of adaptive capacities. Building resilience, therefore, requires a multi-dimensional approach that integrates these various aspects, creating a robust foundation upon which cities can thrive despite inevitable challenges. 
  One of the primary reasons urban resilience has gained such prominence is the growing recognition of the vulnerability of cities in the face of climate change. With rising sea levels, more frequent and severe storms, and heatwaves becoming the norm, cities are exposed to significant risks that threaten public safety, economic stability, and infrastructure. Moreover, rapid urban growth often leads to poor urban planning, inadequate infrastructure, and limited resources to address emerging problems.
