Entertainment: Celebrities: In Memory of: Doris Day (1922 - 2019)

Must say good-bye to "America's girl next door" and Hollywood legend, Doris Day.  She had a major influence on my childhood development.  She charmed me.  That was her appeal.  I think she charmed everyone; publicly and privately.  I loved all of her movies.  No really.  There is not one movie she starred in that I did not like.  

For me, the most memorable movie was the one where she sang "Que sera, sera" and she had to land that airplane: The Man Who Knew Too Much.  It was a departure from her usually light-hearted comedy roles.  That movie was very serious and she played her part quite convincingly.  I have wonderful memories of this fine actress.  

She wasn't included in My Top 10 List of Iconic Female Celebrities' even though she suits the definition for "iconic". It's because she deserves a spotlight all her own.

Doris Day never stopped being cover bait for CLOSER. (These are all from the past three years.) pic.twitter.com/uA2DNUnCbV

Bible Readers: What About All Those "ites"?

Now that you know how to read you can read the Bible for yourself. That's what my momma said.

Most Bible readers (from my generation and the generations in the centuries before mine) will likely say what struck them when the first read the scriptures was all those "begats". Some people will skip over verses, even whole chapters if they see that word. The word "begat" usually connects a string of names that are very difficult to pronounce.

For me, one of things noted when turning the pages of the Old Testament starting with Genesis and working my way to the Revelation was all those "ites". The names for the inhabitants of different ancient nations.

Hittites, Asherites, Jebusites, Amorites, Amakelites, Girgashites, Moabites, Perizzites, Canaanites, and of course, Israelites.

Then it changed from "ites" to "ans".

Syrians, Assyrians, Babylonians, Persians, Romans.

Suffixes in the English language:

*  ite = follower or supporter

*  an = pertaining to

* ian = belonging to

Belonging to? Hmmm?  Like Christians?

Yes. Only Christ is not a nation. Christianity and the gospel message of peace and goodwill is not restricted by man-made boundaries. But it's an observation as to how the suffixes were used by the scholarly translators.

JAT. (Just a thought.) :)

Hindi or Indian Entertainment ~ Yuvvraaj (2008) ~ Hurray for Bollywood Music!!

There was once a wonderful community on Google Plus called “Bollywood (Hindi/Indian) Music”.  Members are asked to share Hindi/Indian music they like or love.  G+ shut down April 2019, but the community was deleted even before that.  Nevertheless ...

Hurray for Bollywood Music!!

Two videos were submitted by me to the now-defunct community.  The music was actually American songs that had been performed by famous Bollywood stars.

Shahrukh Khan performed a timeless classic “Stand By Me”; and 

Priyanka Chopra performed, "In My City", a collaborative crossover effort with hip hop all-star Will I. Am.

The truth is, at the time, there were so many songs and so much music from Indian films that I've enjoyed it was difficult to choose.  But I finally settled on one.

The video below is a clip from a movie - “Yuvvraaj”.

The stars are Salman Kahn, Katrina Kaif, Anil Kapoor. All of the music for this film is incredible! But this performance by Anil Kapoor is unbelievable!!

Yuvvraaj (2008) (Bollywood / DVD)

My Favorite Movies Starring Elizabeth Taylor (1932 – 2011)

Remembering one of the Hollywood stars from back in my day who is no longer with us. Elizabeth Taylor (1932 - 2011).

There are three motion pictures starring this iconic legendary beauty that made an impression on me as a little girl and as a teenager:

National Velvet (1944) ; Giant (1956) ; Cleopatra (1963) 

Do you have a favorite Liz Taylor film?

U.S. History Timeline: American Presidents: After Lincoln / Before Coolidge

Assassination, Amnesty, Emancipation.

The Republican party was formed in 1854 by antislavery groups. Abraham Lincoln campaigned on an antislavery platform and won the election. He was the first Republican president and the first POTUS to be assassinated. In 1863, even though the war had not ended, the Emancipation Proclamation was formally issued. When the Civil War was over, amnesty was offered to the opposition.

Avengers Endgame (Plus a Throwback: Justice League: The Complete Series)

There is a lot of talk in the entertainment media about Avengers Endgame.  The ticket sales for this movie in the movie industry are like Michael Jackson's "Thriller" album purchases for the music industry.  OFF THE CHARTS!!!  People just couldn't get in and out of the theaters fast enough.  Some people even participated in a marathon and watched all the movies that were released which led up to "Avengers Endgame".  59 hours worth of movie watching!  Can you stand it??

Why do we love superheroes?

For some of us, the childhood memories of superheroes run deep. They don’t just represent beings with superhuman powers. They are symbolic of much larger matters like “truth, justice, and the American Way”. That’s how they are remembered and now they have evolved or expanded, and have a global and even universal united role to play in saving ALL mankind (you have to give the mean and nasty humans an opportunity to repent)  and … uuhhh … nice aliens worth saving!  :)

For the superhero fanatic in all of us!

My Medium Progress Report ~ As of March 2019

A couple of years ago, I shared a post at this blog about my experience with Medium.com. (“My Medium Round Up ~ Article Contributions”) The main attraction of this site was the fact that it accepts republished content. It's now 2019 and nothing has changed in this regard. The site still accepts republished content. The change is that the site has implemented a Partner Program. The goal of this program is to allow the writers to earn some revenue for their contributions to Medium. 

With the exception of one article that was republished after the implementation of the program, all of my articles are not available for the paywall. The article that I republished was dated March 9, 2019, “The Origin of Brutal Regimes” and is “eligible to be part of the metered paywall”. I opted in to allow that. An article contributor can opt out. Even though I opted in, I realized after reading the additional details that can only earn money if I am in the Medium Partner Program. 

Guess what? I JOINED!! 
Hope the MPP proves to be a consistent income stream.

Question on @Quora: Is the Medium Partner Program worth it? https://t.co/RbUipeoaqg #articlewriters #freelancewriters

Entertainment : 4 Movie Picks for Friday Night

Movies! Movies! Movies!! Love watching movies. Not enough time in the day, so there are some films that have not been viewed yet and as such are on My Watch List. They got on the list because of the fab reviews that were written by fellow bloggers. Very convincing!! Better than watching a trailer!  Decided they would be awesome for a Friday night at the movies!  :)  (Or Saturday night.  Or Sunday night.  Or any time you're in the mood to watch a good movie!)



glitter-graphics.com
 


- The Judge
Stars Robert Downey, Jr. and Robert Duvall. Will watch because I'm happy to watch any movie with Robert Duvall. Loved this man ever since “To Kill a Mockingbird” and he was only in a supporting role. Great review found at “Review This”.   Watch Trailer.

- The Equalizer
I'm a fan of Antoine Fuqua movies anyway. Plus really liked the old TV show by the same name. Justin Morales posted a great review!  Watch Trailer.

 - DELIVER US FROM EVIL
Recommended by a random Mexican named Daniel Hernandez. (The name of the blog is “Random Mexican's Movie Review Extravaganza”.)  Watch Trailer.

 - Big Bad Wolves
Non-American film. A Mystery / Thriller / Horror all rolled into one. Suggested by John Mountain who specializes in writing reviews of horror movies. The picture of Frankenstein for the bubble? Let me explain. Not really into scary flicks. Will watch the old horror movies like the kind with Boris Karloff and Lon Chaney Jr.** But John's review aroused my curiosity.   Watch Trailer.

Women in Business : Continued Support for Women-Owned Businesses ~ 2019 Forward

Back in August 2014, I shared information links that should have proved useful to women in business, particularly women-owned businesses. It's 2019 and I have been celebrating and honoring women all month long since March is Women's History Month. I wanted to reshare the link to my 2014 blog post and supply some updates. A lot can happen in 5 years.

My Aug 2014 Post:

• Bill Proposed to Support Women-Owned Businesses in 3 Ways

UPDATES:

Press Release Dated April 20, 2018 | News | U.S. Senator Maria Cantwell of Washington ~ Senator Maria Cantwell (D-WA), urged continued support of the SBA/WBC (Small Business Administration’s Women’s Business Centers).  The action had to be taken because current POTUS wanted to cut funding for a program that is proving to be successful.

The President's FY2020 Budget was released during March 2019 and it appears there will be continued investment in the WBC. ~  The President’s Budget « CAMEO

Where to Find Work at Home Advice, Tips and Tricks

The "cottage industry" (like Etsypreneurs) is not a creation of the 20th or 21st centuries nor did "home-based businesses" come about because of the invention of the Internet. While most of my work at home initiatives are focused mainly on writing and blogging, and affiliate marketing, there are many profitable projects people can do, working from their home. Home-based businesses or working from home was and still is very common.

10 Must-Read Inspiring Biographies of Business Leaders Recommended by Entrepreneur.com

But creating fake biographies sure sounds like fun!
This teacher suggests using a tool to study biographies differently.  The tool is called "Fakebook".  Just pretend you work for the CIA and you're making up a fake dossier. :)

Bio-Snapshot: Former Fitness Pro, Lisa Lowe

So! Just in case you were wondering what the end result would be if you combined bodybuilding and ballet training, look at the photographs below.  You might end up looking like former fitness pro Lisa Lowe.  Don’t know much about this person, but came across an interesting bio-snapshot of this lady. Collecting biographies (mini-bios, actually) is one of my hobbies. Most of the time my findings are shared via Pinterest. Sometimes, the links are recycled via other social media networks or at one of my blogs.  Ms. Lowe is no longer a professional competitor; she is married, a mother of two and resides in California.  If you are thinking about following in her footsteps, all I can say: She sure set the bar really high!! :)

• Read about IFBB Fitness Pro and Fitness Model – Lisa-Lowe

For IFBB fitness pro Lisa Lowe, balance is everything. Which is pretty much what you’d expect from a former ballet dancer who began by studying with the San Francisco ballet, was admitted to the prestigious Julliard dance department, and then performed with the famed Alvin Alley dance troupe in New York City. Lowe, one of the most cerebral fitness professionals, earned her pro card at the 1998 Team Universe contest.

An Opinion Piece : I am in favor of capital punishment. ...

"I am in favor of capital punishment. Your opposing points of view and comments are welcomed. But don’t even think you will change my mind! The only thing you will get me agree to is that the “form” of execution should NOT be crucifixion. ..."

Capital punishment or the death penalty is still a heated topic being debated on a fairly regular basis.

The CONs steadfastly remain CON or AGAINST; while the PROs continue to remain PRO or FOR and posit that the CONs (those who oppose capital punishment) are really only supporting the convicts and they should shower their compassion, sympathy and possibly empathy on the families of victims, and most importantly, keep in the front of their minds that the victim did not deserve having their life taken.

Yes it is true that putting the murderer to death won't bring back the murdered victim. But the Administrators of Justice are not trying to resurrect the dead. That's not their job. Their duties and responsibilities – for which they are paid, some of them quite handsomely " entail maintaining the peace in the community of law-abiding citizens, and upholding the dignity and humanity of the people who are still alive, and should not have to live in fear and dread amongst each other.

I am in favor of capital punishment. Your opposing points of view and comments are welcomed. But don't even think you will change my mind!

The only thing you will get me agree to is that the “form” of execution should NOT be crucifixion. Why? Because according to the Biblical Archaeology Review, which is a well-known and respected publication that supplies facts, data, historical information and results of archaeological findings, about life during Bible times, mainly in the Near and Middle East areas " nobody is certain as to how a crucifixion was accomplished. Based on that, how I see it, the last thing this world needs is executioners who can't do their jobs and botch executions!!

Entertainment : Bollywood Movie Review : Karam (2005)

It never fails, no matter what online social blogging or writing community I join, the discussion always gets around to “favorites”. Favorite song. Favorite movie. Favorite book. And then, of course, the “faves” can vary. Favorite song from a movie. Favorite book adapted to film. Favorite soundtrack to a movie. On and on and on.

My husband introduced me to foreign films and in particular, to Bollywood films. If you watch Hindi movies you know that there are literally thousands (possibly even millions) of them with all kinds of wonderful music and songs. There is this one movie which stars Bollywood beauty Priyanka Chopra and Bollywood hunk John Abraham, where she sings the most beautiful haunting melody. Heard that song the first time and it hooked me! Instant favorite!! To me it was the best vocal performance ever by Ms. Chopra.

That's it. That's my review. This movie is a love story. It is intense! The bad guys are really bad. When the bad guys confront each other, you're happy you're not stuck in the middle. Your heart bleeds for every innocent victim that has the misfortune to cross paths with them. So when a bad guy is married to a good girl … ______. If I fill out the blank, it'll spoil the movie for those who may not have seen it. Even if you don't have time to watch the film, at least take a few minutes to listen to Ms. Chopra's performance of a song that is definitely on my favorites list.

♦ ♦ ♦

The 2005 film is “Karam”. 

The song is “Tinka Tinka”.
