How you can survive regardless of hard times. Also, the desire to inspire those that come after me is important. A wise person once said that gratitude is the memory of the heart. My memories enrich my life as the days and years go by. I recall treasured memories that continue to enrich my soul. I choose to review my memory bank with gratitude. Recalling the kindness of others brings a smile to my face and lifts my spirits. I appreciate the people who have shared this life with me. My memories of good times and good people reveal the light of God that shines unceasingly on us all. As I look back with gratitude for the loved ones and opportunities that have brought me great joy and fulfillment, I also enjoy the fullness of this present moment. Right now, I am making memories for the years to come. I hope to leave the world a better place because of my living in it—to love and be loved, to do good and show respect, to act justly and fairly, to care well for the earth in my small patch of the planet.

Download or read book Seduced and Abandoned written by Richard Smith and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2016-10-06 with total page 290 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Smith examines the different ways in which gay men use pop music, both as producers and consumers, and how, in turn, pop uses gay men. He asks what role culture plays in shaping identity and why pop continues to thrill gay men. These 40 essays and interviews look at how performers, from The Kinks' Ray Davies to Gene's Martin Rossiter, have used pop as a platform to explore and articulate, conform to or contest notions of sexuality and gender. A defence of cultural differences and an attack on cultural elitism, Seduced and Abandoned is as passionate and provocative as pop itself.

Download or read book British Women Film Directors in the New Millennium written by Stella Hockenhull and published by Springer. This book was released on 2017-04-27 with total page 270 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book focuses on the output of women film directors in the period post Millennium when the number of female directors working within the film industry rose substantially. Despite the fact that nationally and internationally women film directors are underrepresented within the industry, there is a wealth of talent currently working in Britain. During the early part of the 2000s, the UKFC instigated policies and strategies for gender equality and since then the British Film Institute has continued to encourage diversity. British Women Directors in the New Millennium therefore examines the production, distribution and exhibition of female directors’ work in light of policy. The book is divided into two sections: part one includes a historical background of women directors working in the twentieth century before discussing the various diversity funding opportunities available since 2000. The second part of the book examines the innovation, creativity and resourcefulness of British female film directors, as well as the considerable variety of films that they produce, selecting specific examples for analysis in the process.

I learned very early to be compassionate to the problems of others and to accept my own problems, and then later in life, I decided to live life to the fullest, appreciating each and every day. I am living a completely normal life. In fact, I am living a fantastic life with many adventures which I share in my writing.

Download or read book Crabbit Old Buggers written by John K. V. Eunson and published by Black & White Publishing. This book was released on 2006-10-05 with total page 117 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is a 21st-century guide to unreasonableness, stubbornness and the determination never to be impressed by anything. Crabbit old buggers are not defined by gender, nationality, creed or class - to be a crabbit old bugger is a state of mind, a way of living, a reason to exist that transcends all. "Crabbit Old Buggers", the book, is a guide to these determinedly dour, intolerant creatures. It takes the loveless and misbegotten buggers, pulls them from their dank holes and makes them face the dazzling light of the issues of the day - politics, technology, the arts. It helps the reader recognise the traits that define them, the different levels of crabbitness - from the mildest to the most incorrigible - and explains why a little bit of it in all of us is no bad thing. And it proves once and for all that, for this sector of society, the future is not bright - it is just something that will have to be endured. But endure it they will and they're going to make damn sure that we know they're enduring it. Because sometimes reason enough to go on living is to wish you didn't have to.

Download or read book Precarity in European Film written by Elisa Cuter and published by Walter de Gruyter GmbH & Co KG. This book was released on 2022-06-06 with total page 390 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume brings together renowned scholars and early career-researchers in mapping the ways in which European cinema —whether arthouse or mainstream, fictional or documentary, working with traditional or new media— engages with phenomena of precarity, poverty, and social exclusion. It compares how the filmic traditions of different countries reflect the socioeconomic conditions associated with precarity, and illuminates similarities in the iconography of precarious lives across cultures. While some of the contributions deal with the representations of marginalized minorities, others focus on work-related precarity or the depictions of downward mobility. Among other topics, the volume looks at how films grapple with gender inequality, intersectional struggle, discriminatory housing policies, and the specific problems of precarious youth. With its comparative approach to filmic representations of European precarity, this volume makes a major contribution to scholarship on precarity and the representation of social class in contemporary visual culture.
