Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Tiffany Kessler wrote this story when she was thirteen years old for a science project at the Roseleaf Academy in Farmville, North Carolina. Five months later she had a trampoline accident and broke her neck in two places. Emergency surgery was called for in order to save her from paralysis or possible death. Her surgeon put a plate and two screws in her neck and said she was a millimeter away from a complete catastrophe. Through the power of prayer, she felt the love of family, friends, and our heavenly Father and knew she was going to be okay. Recovery was difficult. She wore a neck brace twenty-four hours a day for four months. She was unable to participate in sports and had to work extremely hard to keep up in school. Her self-image and confidence made her wonder what her purpose was in life. Then she realized that publishing her story would be a way to encourage others to believe in themselves and not try to conform to fit in but to stay true to who they are in order to discover their gifts and talents. Tiffany resides in Greenville, North Carolina, and has been crowned Teen Ms. North Carolina 2015. She will be pursuing her dream of writing more books and working with others helping them discover their purpose in life.

Download or read book Personality Presenters written by Frances Bonner and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2016-05-06 with total page 204 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Television presenters are key to the sociability of the medium, speaking directly to viewers as intermediaries between audiences and those who are interviewed, perform or compete on screen. As targets of both great affection and derision from viewers and the subjects of radio, internet, magazine and newspaper coverage, many have careers that have lasted almost as long as post-war television itself. Nevertheless, as a profession, television presenting has received little scholarly attention. Personality Presenters explores the role of the television presenter, analysing the distinct skills possessed by different categories of host and the expectations and difficulties that exist with regard to the promotion of the various films, books, consumer and cultural products with which they are associated. The close involvement of presenters with the content that they present is examined, while the impact of the presenters' own celebrity on the tasks that they perform is scrutinised. With a focus on non-fiction entertainment shows such as game shows, lifestyle and reality shows, chat, daytime and talk shows, this book explores issues of consumer culture, advertising and celebrity, as well as the connection of presenters with ethical issues. Offering detailed case studies of internationally recognised presenters, as well comparisons between national presenters from the UK and Australia, Personality Presenters provides a rich discussion of television presenters as significant conduits in the movement of ideas. As such, it will appeal to sociologists as well as those working in the fields of popular culture, cultural and media studies and cultural theory.

Download or read book Dystopia on Demand Technology Digital Culture and the Metamodern Quest in Complex Serial Dystopias written by Laura Winter and published by Narr Francke Attempto Verlag. This book was released on 2024-01-29 with total page 432 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Serial storytelling has the advantage of unlocking rather than simplifying the complexities of digital culture. With their worldbuilding potential, TV series open up new artistic horizons, particularly for the dystopian genre. Situated at the nexus of dystopia, complex TV, and a metamodern cultural logic, Dystopia on Demand: Technology, Digital Culture, and the Metamodern Quest in Complex Serial Dystopias offers readers novel insights into the dynamics of serial dystopias in the contemporary streaming landscape. Introducing the term 'complex serial dystopias' to describe series that allow audiences to engage with the dystopian premise from multiple angles, the book examines four Anglo-American series, including Black Mirror, Mr. Robot, Westworld, and Kiss Me First. The in-depth analyses trace the variety of ways in which these series offer critical reflections on the human-technology entanglement in digital culture.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Inspirational, commonsensical, and a whole lot of fun." --James Patterson Everyone deserves to shine in this sparkling new book from the New York Times bestselling author of Escape from Mr. Lemoncello's Library, Chris Grabenstein, and coauthor J.J. Grabenstein--just right for fans of Word of Mouse and The Fourteenth Goldfish. "Who do you want to be?" asks Mr. Van Deusen. "And not when you grow up. Right here, right now." Shine on! might be the catchphrase of twelve-year-old Piper's hero--astronaut, astronomer, and television host Nellie Dumont Frisse--but Piper knows the truth: some people are born to shine, and she's just not one of them. That fact has never been clearer than now, since her dad's new job has landed them both at Chumley Prep, a posh private school where everyone seems to be the best at something and where Piper definitely doesn't fit in. Bursting with humor, heart, science, possibilities, and big questions, Shine! is a story about finding your place in the universe--a story about figuring out who you are and who you want to be.

Download or read book Tainted Chalice written by Dominic Palumbo and published by Xlibris Corporation. This book was released on 2020-07-26 with total page 279 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The novel is a story of forbidden love, which takes the reader on a poignant but delightful journey that begins in a little Wheatbelt country town in Western Australia and leads to world-famous Opera Houses. It was a serendipitous encounter between Emily Grey and Father Matteo da Luca, a young and recently ordained Catholic Parish Priest. They were instantly attracted to each other - Emily fell in love with Father Matteo on that very first day. Emily is a strikingly beautiful woman whose effect on Father Matteo is to make him emotionally conflicted between his growing affections for Emily and his Priestly vocation. Father Matteo is seriously affected by Emily's beauty, but he has taken Vows of Chastity. Also, he is already in a relationship with God. God has presented him with a tainted chalice. His dilemma could be solved by deciding between his Priesthood or his relationship with Emily - Or, he could have both. Father Matteo is a very principled, and he would never allow himself to be in two relationships, although he knows priests do have sexual relationships. In his mind, that would be cheating, badly. Emily understands Matteo's conflicted state. Both don't want to 'break up', so they decided to have a Romantic Relationship that is based on music rather than sexual desires. Emily is always hopeful that their relationship will develop to more than that. Regardless, their relationship becomes entwined by their special gift - their singing voices. Emily is an emerging opera diva with a beautiful soprano voice, and Matteo has a God-given tenor voice. The story follows the lives of these two protagonists. Matteo's story begins in a small Wheatbelt town in Western Australia through to him being ordained a Catholic Priest and assigned as Parish Priest to a Perth Parish. Meanwhile, Emily is studying Law at the University of Western Australia. She discovers that Law is a mistaken career choice. With the help of a good friend, she switches to classical voice training under the tutelage of a retired but world-renowned opera diva. The relationship between Emily and Matteo continues to strengthen. Finally, Father Matteo admits to himself that he loves Emily. He wants to marry her and enjoy a lifetime of music with her. In his Church, and under the hanging Crucifix overhead, Father Matteo tells God that he is going to quit the Priesthood. But God has other plans for His disciple. He will decide Matteo's destiny.

Download or read book e Write Your Way To An A Star Intermediate written by Angeline Tan and published by Singapore Asia Publishers Pte Ltd. This book was released on 2012-04-24 with total page 330 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: By Primary Three, students have reached the stage where they should be able to write a composition with a well-defined plot and well-developed characters. However, how well a student writes a composition is dependent primarily on his or her exposure to the English Language. This book has been written in a way to be equally beneficial and relevant to students in Primary Three and Primary Four. Often, many students find Paper 1 of their English Language examination the most difficult to score. Paper 1 tests students on their ability to write a full-length composition and takes about 30% of the entire PSLE English examination. Given the high weightage of marks allocated to composition writing, it is unfortunate that many students do not get sufficient opportunities to write compositions in school and have them graded by their teachers. Practice makes perfect. To cultivate good writing skills, it is essential for students to get regular practice in writing their own compositions. One story a week is a reasonable pace for most students. This book has been specially designed to be a valuable educational aid for students across all ability levels. Whether your child is facing difficulty in writing compositions or is already a prolific young writer seeking to up his or her writing skills a notch, this book will provide the stimulus for your child to take his or her writing skills to new heights. The model compositions in this book may seem a tad too challenging for many Primary Three and Primary Four students. However, they have been deliberately written to serve as a reference for students to inspire them to new heights of creative writing. For each composition exercise, ample guidance is provided to help students to pen down terrific compositions they never thought they were capable of. By faithfully going through every composition exercise, your child will be exposed to a wide array of possible writing topics. Above all, he or she will be embarking on a journey towards becoming a more confident and creative writer.

Download or read book Adapting Idols Authenticity Identity and Performance in a Global Television Format written by Joost de Bruin and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2016-03-16 with total page 263 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Since the first series of Pop Idol aired in the UK just over a decade ago, Idols television shows have been broadcast in more than forty countries all over the world. In all those countries the global Idols format has been adapted to local cultures and production contexts, resulting in a plethora of different versions, ranging from the Dutch Idols to the Pan-Arab Super Star and from Nigerian Idol to the international blockbuster American Idol. Despite its worldwide success and widespread journalistic coverage, the Idols phenomenon has received only limited academic attention. Adapting Idols: Authenticity, Identity and Performance in a Global Television Format brings together original studies from scholars in different parts of the world to identify and evaluate the productive dimensions of Idols. As one of the world's most successful television formats, Idols offers a unique case for the study of cultural globalization. Chapters discuss how Idols shows address particular national or regional identity politics and how Idols is consumed by audiences in different territories. This book illustrates that even though the same television format is used in countries all over the globe, practices of adaptation can still result in the creation of unique local cultural products.

'It seems I've done most things I wanted to do, but of all things, I think I most enjoy finding good songs and recording them. There are so many songs I want to record that I will be kept busy for as long as I can keep it up ... It is the people you meet along the road of life who make the travelling easier. No wonder I loved it all.' - Slim Dusty Slim Dusty was Australia's most well-loved and best known country music performer. A legend in the bush, his famous hit 'A Pub With No Beer' made him a household name in the towns and cities too. This is the story of the life that Slim Dusty and Joy McKean shared for their fifty years of marriage and touring together - their love for each other, their family and their music - and their determination to bring country music to the whole of Australia.

It's just like listening to a bright spark in the bush.' - The Age 'Slim blazed the red-dirt trail for Australian singer/songwriters, allowing us to remain unashamedly ourselves.' - Missy Higgins
