LE GRAND OPERA 1828 – 1867
THE PALAIS GARNIER or Opéra Garnier is an Opera House at the Place de l’Opéra in the 9th arrondissement of Paris, France. It was built for the Paris Opera from 1861 to 1875 at the Behest of Emperor Napoleon III. Initially referred to as “Le Nouvel Opéra de Paris” (The New Paris Opera), it soon became known as the Palais Garnier, “in Acknowledgment of its Extraordinary Opulence” and the Architect Charles Garnier’s Plans and Designs, which are representative of the Napoleon III Style. It was the Primary Theatre of the Paris Opera and its Associated Paris Opera Ballet until 1989, when a New Opera House, the Opéra Bastille, opened at the Place de la Bastille. The Company now uses the Palais Garnier mainly for Ballet. The Theatre has been a Monument Historique of France since 1923.
The Palais Garnier has been called “probably the Most Famous Opera House in the World, a Symbol of Paris like Notre Dame Cathedral, the Louvre, or the Sacré Coeur Basilica… The Palais Garnier also houses the Bibliothèque-Musée de l’Opéra de Paris (Paris Opera Library-Museum), which is managed by the Bibliothèque Nationale de France and is included in Unaccompanied Tours of the Palais Garnier.
The Façade and the Interior followed the Napoleon III Style Principle of leaving no Space without Decoration. Garnier used Polychromy, or a Variety of Colors, for Theatrical Effect, achieved Different Varieties of Marble and Stone, Porphyry, and Gilded Bronze. The Façade of the Opera used Seventeen Different Kinds of Material, arranged in very elaborate Multicolored Marble Friezes, Columns, and Lavish Statuary, many of which portray Deities of Greek Mythology…. The Principal Façade is on the South Side of the Building, overlooking the Place de l’Opéra and terminates the Perspective along the Avenue de l’Opéra. Fourteen Painters, Mosaicists and Seventy-Three Sculptors participated in the Creation of its Ornamentation
350 YEARS OF THE OPERA DE PARIS
The Celebrations got underway with an Inaugural Gala on 30 December Last Year, and continue at the Palais Garnier throughout 2019. The Exhibition titled ‘Un Air d’Italie – L’Opéra de Paris de Louis XIV à la Révolution’ (A certain Air of Italy. The Paris Opera from Louis VIX to the Revolution) organized with the Bibliothèque Nationale de France (BNF) retraces a Large Chunk of the Paris Opera’s History from Louis XIV’s Reign all the Way to the French Revolution. The Paris Opera is also going Off-Site to celebrate its Anniversary, with the ‘Edgar Degas à l’Opéra’ Exhibition at the Musée d’Orsay, the “Opéra Monde” at Centre Pompidou-Metz and “Habiller l’Opéra” at CNCS of Moulins….

The Series follows the Adventures of a Village of Gauls as they resist Roman Occupation in 50 BCE. They do so by means of a Magic Potion, brewed by their Druid Getafix (Panoramix in the French Version), which temporarily gives the Recipient Superhuman Strength. The Protagonists, the Title Character Asterix and his Friend Obelix, have Various Adventures. In many of the Stories, they travel to Foreign Countries, though other Tales are set in and around their Village. For much of the History of the Series settings in Gaul and abroad alternated, with even-numbered Volumes set abroad and odd-numbered Volumes set in Gaul, mostly in the Village.
SYNOPSIS Of “ASTERIX AND THE CHIEFTAIN’S DAUGHTER” (Asterix et la Fille de Vercingetorix)
Written by: Jean-Yves Ferri – Drawings by: Didier Conrad
Published by: Les Éditions Albert René
First Worldwide Album Edition: octobre 24th, 2019
With an Anniversary and the Publication of a Long-Awaited New Album, 2019 is definitely a BIG YEAR for Asterix! As usual, the Latest Adventure for Asterix and Obelix begins in their Famous Gaulish Village. After an Escapade in Italy in 2017 with “Asterix and the Chariot Race”, it’s back to Armorica with a New Arrival who’ll turn the Village upside down! Asterix and the Chieftain’s Daughter is the Fourth Collaboration between Writer-Designer Jean-Yves Ferri and Illustrator Didier Conrad. The Creative Duo, ever eager to dream up New Adventures, are perfectly attuned to the Legendary World devised by René Goscinny and Albert Uderzo.
Upheavals and Pandemonium are definitely on the Horizon! The Daughter (called ADRENALINE) of the Famous Gaulish Chieftain Vercingetorix is being hunted down by the Romans. She secretly finds Refuge in the Village of our Indomitable Gauls (the only Place in Roman-Occupied Gaul that can guarantee her Protection). And let’s just say that having this very Special Teenager around will cause a Fair Few Intergenerational Ructions … She also meets tow other Special Teenagers Cétautomatix / Blinix (the Son of a Blacksmith) and Ordralfabétix / Selfix (the Son of a Fishmonger) which drives to New Adventures reminding to Contemporary Youth Issues…
Asterix & Obelix
Talking about the Spotlight on a Female Character, the Teenager ADRENALINE (Vercingetorix’s Daughter), Jean-Yves FERRI (Writer) said “At first I was thinking of wheeling out the Great Vercingetorix himself. The Problem was it would have risked messing with History too much. In the End, I felt that Vercingetorix should stay as he was, in other words as a Legendary Prologue to the Adventures of Asterix. And so I went with the Idea of a Daughter he might have had, which was Pure Invention, of course! And the Theme of the Album started to revolve around Teenagers … a Theme that hasn’t been explored since the Character of Young Justforkix in Asterix and the Normans. I thought it could be handled in a Different Way now”.
Talking about the Historical Context, Jean-Yves FERRI said “The Action takes place a Few Years after the Defeat at Alesia. The Idea was to imagine a Secret Network of Arvernis still Loyal to Vercingetorix. Obviously, they do their best to safeguard the Daughter of their Much-Mourned Leader. And her Torc, a Sort of Honorary Necklet that she inherited from her Father. As ever, I tried to use some Historical Elements … like mentioning a Mood of Dissent surrounding the Siege at Alesia, or the Way the Romans conducted Combat at Sea. The Asterix Series is about Laughter but the Humour works all the better if the Basis is Plausible.”

Launch Evening (October 4, 2019) of the Midnight Garage Festival held @ 10 Boulevard de la Bastille (Paris) and Open to the General Public
October 5-6, 2019 in PARIS
A Motorcycle, often called a Bike, Motorbike, or Cycle, is a Two or Three-Wheeled Motor Vehicle. Motorcycle Design varies greatly to suit a Range of Different Purposes: Long Distance Travel, Commuting, Cruising, Sport including Racing, and Off-Road Riding. Motorcycling is riding a Motorcycle and Related Social Activity such as joining a Motorcycle Club and attending Motorcycle Rallies.
The First Commercial Design for a Self-Propelled Cycle was a Three-Wheel Design called the Butler Petrol Cycle, conceived of Edward Butler in England in 1884. He exhibited his Plans for the Vehicle at the Stanley Cycle Show in London in 1884. The Vehicle was built by the Merryweather Fire Engine company in Greenwich, in 1888. In 1894, Hildebrand & Wolfmüller became the First Series Production Motorcycle, and the First to be called a Motorcycle. Excelsior Motor Company, originally a Bicycle Manufacturing Company based in Coventry, England, began Production of their First Motorcycle Model in 1896. The First Production Motorcycle in the US was the Orient-Aster, built by Charles Metz in 1898 at his Factory in Waltham, Massachusetts.
By 1920, Harley-Davidson was the Largest Manufacturer, with their Motorcycles being sold by Dealers in 67 countries. By the late 1920s or early 1930s, DKW in Germany took over as the Largest Manufacturer. In the 1950s, Streamlining began to play an increasing part in the Development of Racing Motorcycles and the “Dustbin Fairing” held out the Possibility of Radical Changes to Motorcycle Design. NSU and Moto Guzzi were in the Vanguard of this Development, both producing Very Radical Designs well ahead of their Time. NSU produced the most Advanced Design, but after the Deaths of Four NSU Riders in the 1954–1956 Seasons, they abandoned Further Development and quit Grand Prix Motorcycle Racing…. Various Features and Accessories may be attached to a Motorcycle either as OEM (Factory-Fitted) or Aftermarket. Such Accessories are selected by the Owner to enhance the Motorcycle’s Appearance, Safety, Performance, or Comfort, and may include anything from Mobile Electronics to Sidecars and Trailers.
– Motorcycle Rider Postures
*** Sport – the Rider leans forward into the Wind and the Weight of the Upper Torso is supported by the Rider’s Core at Low Speed and Air Pressure at High Speed. The Footpegs are below the Rider or to the Rear. The Reduced Frontal Area cuts Wind Resistance and allows Higher Speeds. At Low-Speed in this Position the Rider’s Arms may bear some of the Weight of the Rider’s Torso, which can be Problematic.
*** Standard – the Rider sits Upright or leans Forward Slightly. The Feet are below the Rider. These are Motorcycles that are not specialised to One Task, so they do not excel in any Particular Area. The Standard Posture is used with Touring and Commuting as well as Dirt and Dual-Sport Bikes, and may offer Advantages for Beginners.

ENTERTAINMENT – BOLD BLUEBERRY AND CHERRY MAGAZINE
L’Aviation Club de France was a Gambling Club in Central Paris (104 Avenue des Champs-Élysées, in the 8e Arrondissement of Paris – France). The Club opened in 1907 and was widely regarded as a Classic Gambling Site. In 2005, the Grand Prix de Paris leg of the World Poker Tour took place at the Aviation Club. The Main Games played at the Aviation Club were : Poker 21 (Black Jack Parisian Style), Punto Banco, Poker à 3 cartes, Poker Caribbean Stud, poker Texas Hold’Em, Baccarat, Backgammon). The Club was closed in 2014, after a Raid by the Police, and placed in Liquidation in February 2015…. In 2018, The Barrière Group obtains the Authorization of the Ministry of the Interior to open a Gaming Club in the Old Premises of l’Aviation Club de France. The Actual Director of The “Club Barrière – Paris 104 Champs-Elysées” is Eric MICHELET. This is the First One by the Group in Paris, otherwise they have many in France. The Games are : Punto Banco, Texas Holdem, Omaha Poker, Poker 21, Poker 3 Cartes, Ultimate Poker.
Since the First Day of the Aviation Club de France’s Closure, a great number of French and International Personalities campaigned in favor of the Reopening of the Club, with the Hope that the Grand Instance Court in Paris would allow Poker to get back on what is considered to be the World’s Most Beautiful Avenue and, at the same time, help the ACF’s 213 Employees to keep their Jobs… Yet, despite the Club’s Concerns, the Support from the International Poker Community, and the Jury Award the ACF won at the 2014 France Poker Awards held in Deauville, the Number 104 of the Avenue des Champs-Élysées was no longer going to be Home to some of the Amazing Poker Games it held during its 100 Years of History.
The History of Gambling in France dates all the way back to at least the 1500s when the Queen was added to Decks of Cards. The French Deck was the Forerunner of the 52-Card Deck used today all over the World. The Lottery has also existed in France since the 16th Century. It comes as no surprise that Gambling Proper was introduced as a Gentleman’s Game to the now United States of America. It was the French Influence along the Mississippi Trade route that has continued to broadly impact the World.
All types of Gambling, including Horse Racing and Pari-Mutuel Betting continue to be very popular in France. In addition, there are currently more than 160 Licensed Casinos in France. Poker is another Form of Gambling that has become very popular in France. The Country hosts many Prestigious Poker Tournaments, including the Annual Grand Prix de Paris which is the First Stop on the World Poker Tour…. Casinos are located in most Major Cities in the Country, but most Casinos are to be found in the National Capital that is in Paris and in the Coastal Resorts.

Pioneer Of LATIN ROCK CARLOS SANTANA Reflects On His 50-YEAR MUSIC CAREER
Aug./Sept. Issue of AARP THE MAGAZINE
Selected by The Editorial Team 🙂
ENTERTAINMENT – BOLD BLUEBERRY AND CHERRY MAGAZINE
August, 2019
Through talent, determination, and by his reckoning some divine intervention, a young boy from Jalisco, Mexico, became one of the most internationally recognized guitarists of our time. Classic-rock veteran Carlos Santana discusses his rise to worldwide stardom in an exclusive interview for the August/September issue of AARP the Magazine (ATM), as well as celebrating milestone anniversaries, shedding his years of wisdom on others, and looking ahead to a future full of music and love.
After discovering his unique sound as a young musician, Santana’s career skyrocketed, finding commercial success with hits such as “Evil Ways,” “Oye Como Va” and “Black Magic Woman.” Decades later, Santana remains a household name across the globe.
This year marks a couple of milestone anniversaries for the musician – the 50th anniversary of Santana’s groundbreaking Woodstock performance and the “comeback 20th” commemorating the release of 1999’s “Supernatural” album, featuring the chart-topping song, “Smooth.”
At 72-years-young, the GRAMMY® and Latin GRAMMY-winning artist continues to sell records, perform for sold-out crowds and create new music. His messages of love and healing are ever-present in his latest album, “Africa Speaks,” which delves deeper into his roots and explores African rhythms with the help of sultry Spanish singer Buika.
Santana’s passion for sharing his professional and personal path to happiness goes hand in hand with his mantra to “reinvent yourself every day.” On self-fulfillment, he shares, “Three things: your spirit, your soul and your heart. If you find those and you really find them, you’re going to realize that innocence. Those things don’t leave you and you don’t misplace them or lose them. Those are the ingredients for you to have a glorious existence.”
– Selections from the Carlos Santana cover story in ATM’s August/September issue:
** On his life philosophy:
“It’s like everything in life right now; it has to do with being in the right place at the right time. The universe will bring you an abundance of opportunities and possibilities. It’s really all about trusting that before you got there, when you were sleeping, the universe was conspiring to give you something to blow your mind. Would you be open to receive it?”
** On discovering his own sound:
“I wanted to sound like B.B. King and Otis Rush and all the people I loved. Go inside a closet, turn the lights off, and play, and try to sound like them. And then I didn’t sound like them. I sounded like me. I didn’t realize that it was a blessing, instead of a curse. But when I stopped trying to sound like somebody else and really paid attention to me, I heard that sound that goes through all people’s hearts.”
** On how his music helps people:
“I know that we bring something to the four corners of the world. When you play music and can actually see people cry, and then laugh and dance at the same time, honey, that gives you confidence.”
** On exploring African rhythms on his new album:
“I want to bring new African music to the mainstream because I think people need this nutrient, this ingredient, to learn how to dance differently. Music needs melody, rhythm and heartfelt sounds. There is too much synthesized music. Basically, it’s like the shopping malls in America—so much of it sounds the same.”
** On advice he would give his younger self:
“Strip yourself naked from anything that anyone taught you about anything. And only listen to the voice of your heart, the voice of your light.”
** On life with his wife, Cindy Blackman Santana:
“When Cindy came in, we were so ready for each other. I’ve never had a partner where there are no issues ever, no drama mill, no issues about insecurity or someone with a laundry list of things I need to change. Nothing like that! We’re like two kids in a sandbox, and she’s got the shovel and I’ve got the bucket.”

Usually attached with Safety Pins, Bostik and A.S.O have been thinking about the development of a new generation of adhesive to apply on these materials in order to limit Irritation on the Skins, Perspiration and to better support the Movements of Cyclists in the Effort.

During the Belle Epoque, Superb Horse Racing was organised on the Champ de Mars. One of the most famous Battles in the History of the Capital happened here, hence it being named after the God of Mars, often represented in his Chariot drawn by two Fiery Horses. This famous Esplanade, « Equestrian » by Nature, has not heard the echo of the Thundering Horses Hoof since 1993 and the last Gallop by Jappeloup … In 2014, 2015, 2017 and 2018, the Longines Global Champions Tour – Longines Paris Eiffel Jumping, has brought the Horse back onto its Familiar Territory again…. This Event also finds its Origins from a Desire to revive a Special Relationship. The Appearance of the Horse in the Daily Life of Man dates back beyond recorded History.
The Longines Global Champions Tour (LGCT) is an Annual Show Jumping Series that comprises up to 15 Rounds of Competition hosted around the World. It brings together the top 30 Riders in the FEI Jumping World Rankings. It was founded in 2006 by the Olympic Gold Medalist Jan Tops. Since 2007, all LGCT Events have been held as CSI 5*, which means that under FEI Rules they are Championship-Level Events. The LGCT Classes are run under FEI Rules but the Governing Body has no part in the Organisation of the Series, aside from ratifying the Schedule. The LGCT is not an FEI Series like the World Cup or the Nations Cup Competitions

YOUTUBE Gaining POPULARITY With GENERATION Z

Facebook is generally considered the pinnacle of social media success, boasting the most active users. Facebook’s reign as the “king” of social media may come to an end, though, as younger generations favor more visually-driven platforms such as YouTube, Instagram, and Snapchat, suggests a new survey from The Manifest, a business news and how-to website.
While only 36% of Generation Zers report using Facebook weekly, 89% use YouTube, 74% use Instagram, and 68% use Snapchat at least once a week. “Snapchat and Instagram are cooler for younger generations because they have less content,” said Mark McIntyre, CEO of MaxAudience, an advertising and web design agency. “You get to choose to see all the good stuff and none of the junk. It’s way more image-based and way less text-based, and you don’t get everyone’s rant.”
YouTube Attracts Majority of Social Media Users From Every Generation. The only social media platform to attract more than half of every generation is YouTube. The majority of Generation Zers (89%), millennials (86%), Generation Xers (68%), and baby boomers (52%) use YouTube at least once a week, which may be correlated with people’s affinity for video content.
* Photo (L) – Graph – Generational YouTube use – Photo (R) – Graph – millennials vs. Gen Z social media use
Only 36% of Generation Zers (ages 13-17) use Facebook at least once a week, compared to 87% of millennials, 90% of Generation Xers, and 96% of baby boomers, according to a Survey of Social Media Users in the U.S. While Facebook’s User Base trends older, other Platforms such as Instagram, YouTube, and Snapchat have younger User Bases.

There are Persons who come at the Right Historical Time, who can be Innovators, Thinkers, Scientists, Reformers, Creators, Political Leaders or Rulers, who change the Lives and Ways of Thinking or Behaving of lots of People, and who accomplish Great Deeds and Achievements. These Persons have (Historical) Greatness and Historical Importance. Their Ideas or Actions may be accepted slowly or progressively, but they will be recognized for their Contributions and Accomplishments and will be remembered for Centuries… It seems that nowadays, the Desire for Fame solely for the Sake of being Famous is one of the most Popular Future Goal among Young People, overshadowing Hopes for Financial Success, Achievement, and a Sense of Community. Which raises the Question: Why do people want to be Famous?

THE STORY
In the Dark Ages, the Blood Queen Nimue (Milla Jovovich) unleashes a Plague on England until King Arthur (Mark Stanley) stops her with the Aid of Ganeida (Penelope Mitchell) , a Member of her Coven. Arthur uses Excalibur to dismember Nimue, and hides her Remains across England. When she returns in the present Day, it’s up to Hellboy (David Harbour) and his Pals in the Bureau for Paranormal Research and Defense (B.P.R.D.) to stop her. Created by Mike Mignola, Hellboy is a Musclebound Scarlet-Skinned Demon who hunts Mythical Monsters on behalf of a Shadowy Paramilitary Organization, with the Help of Humans scarred by the Paranormal…. Hellboy is reborn, stridently repurposed as an Ongoing Franchise Property.
OUR REVIEW
When you watch a Human Body get sliced open or pulled apart, Computer-Generated Innards and carefully Digitized Fluids pouring out like wet confetti, it’s Natural to feel repulsed… More gore, more cursing, more darkness straight from the Opening Minutes, we gather that the new Hellboy promises to be a gritty and witty Take on Mike Mignola’s Demon Detective. A Big Part of Hellboy’s Charm is that under his Invulnerable Hide he hides a Vulnerable Heart, and David Harbour transmits Melancholy and Anger through the Layers of Red Makeup.
The New Director, Neil Marshall keeps throwing Fantastical Beasts at you whose Job it is to gather up the Head and Body Parts of the Ancient Blood Queen, Nimue (Milla Jovovich), which were buried in Separate Caskets after she was severed into Pieces in the Sixth Century by King Arthur and his Mighty Excalibur… In the Earlier Films, Hellboy, in his Capacity as an Indentured Agent for the Bureau of Paranormal Research and Defense, had a Lively Team of Damaged Comrades but here he’s got the Feisty Alice (Sasha Lane) whose Main Job seems to be to vomit out Psychic Holograms and Ben Daimio (Daniel Dae Kim), a Dyspeptic Japanese-American Soldier who, due to the Encounter that scarred his Face, can transform into a Hissing Jaguar. Professor Broom (Ian McShane), Hellboy’s adoptive father and the founder of the B.P.R.D is also Part of the Team…

A Race Meeting known for its Glamour and Style. Dive headlong into a World of Wonder, a World of Long and Relaxing Picnics, Superb Concerts and the Very Best Racing. It’s a Day not to be missed and to be shared Trackside with Family, Friends and Partners, all with the Château de Chantilly as a Stunning Backdrop. And it’s the Ideal Setting for one of the Day’s most eagerly awaited Events : the Mademoiselle Diane by Longines Concours d’Elegance. Style, Audacity and Creativity ; Hats, Dresses and Accessories : they all come into play in an Event that is all about Elegance and in which more than 400 entrants vie to catch the Eye on a Catwalk in the Heart of the Village de Diane.
The Prix de Diane, sometimes referred to as the French Oaks, is a Group 1 Flat Horse Race in France open to Three-Year-Old Thoroughbred Fillies. It is run at Chantilly over a distance of 2,100 metres (about 1 mile and 2½ furlongs), and it is scheduled to take place each year in June. It is France’s equivalent of The Oaks, a Famous Race in England. The Event is named after the Mythological Goddess Diana (in French, “Diane”). It was established in 1843, and was originally restricted to Horses born and bred in France. Its distance was set at 2,100 metres, around 300 metres shorter than the English Version. It was switched to Versailles during the Revolution of 1848, and was cancelled due to the Franco-Prussian War in 1871. The Prix de Diane was abandoned throughout World War I, with no running from 1915 to 1918. The first two post-war Editions were held at Longchamp, and it returned to Chantilly in 1921. It took place at Longchamp again in 1936.
The Race was cancelled once during World War II, in 1940. It was staged at Longchamp in 1941 and 1942, and at Le Tremblay over 2,150 metres in 1943 and 1944. It returned to Longchamp for the following three years, and on the Second Occasion it was opened to Foreign Participants. The First Foreign-Trained Horse to win was Sweet Mimosa in 1970. The Present System of Race Grading was introduced in 1971, and the Prix de Diane was classed at the Highest Level, Group 1. A strike by Stable Lads caused the 1975 Running to be abandoned. That year’s Favourite had been Ivanjica. The Event was sponsored by Revlon from 1977 to 1982, and by Hermès from 1983 to 2007. It was not sponsored from 2008 to 2010, and has been backed by Longines since 2011 (2019 Guest Of Honor will be SIMON BAKER, Ambassador Longines De L’Elégance). Two fillies have won both the Prix de Diane and the English Oaks – “Fille de l’Air” in 1864 and “Pawneese” in 1976. Six Prix de Diane winners have subsequently won the Prix de l’Arc de Triomphe, most recently Treve in 2013.

Daniel Lamarre, President and CEO of Cirque du Soleil Entertainment Group, said, “R.U.N is very different from the other shows within the Cirque du Soleil portfolio.

THE STORY
“The Kid Who Would Be King” is a Children’s Film set in a Contemporary Britain. The Miseries its 12-year-old Hero Alex (Louis Ashbourne Serkis) endures Every Day at Dungate Academy are Typical of what Everybody Else seems to be experiencing too. He discovers an Ancient Blade on a Local Construction Site, realises it’s Excalibur, and ends up embarking on a Quest with his Best Friend Bedders (Dean Chaumoo) and the Bullies who have been making his Life Hell (Rhianna Dorris as Kaye & Tom Taylor as Lance), the Quartet slowly transforming into Four Pint-Sized Knights. Elsewhere, the Wicked Sorceress Morgana (Rebecca Ferguson) awakens Underground and sends her Minions after Excalibur. The Next Day, a Teenager appears from inside Stonehenge and presents himself at Alex’s School as a New Student. The Boy reveals himself to Alex as the Wizard Merlin, capable of Aging Backwards, but is also able to shift between his Arthurian Counterpart…
OUR REVIEW
This Movie is Sentimental in all the Right Places, and Impossible to dislike. Writer-Director Joe Cornish gives the Legend of King Arthur and the Round Table a New Spin. Alex is the One who pulls the Sword from the Stone after finding the Gleaming Blade in a Building Site… Polite, Anglo, and thoroughly Unexceptional, Alex comes across as an Average Student in most Respects, proving that Chivalry is not dead. Alex always intervenes to help out his Friend, Bedders (Dean Chaumoo), who is teased and tormented by the Other Kids in the Playground. As a Result, he gets beaten up himself and is in Constant Trouble with the Teachers.
The Movie plays as a Kind of Tiddly Thrones, a Gateway Drug for Kids into Harder Fantasy, though the CGI is unlikely to scare even Little Ones… In the Film’s Best Gag Merlin frets : where in London can he find Beaver Urine and Beetle Blood for a Potion ? In the Ingredients of a Chicken-Shop Takeaway of course…

THE STORY
One year after Steppenwolf’s invasion, troubled 14-year-old Orphan Billy Batson (Asher Angel) is set to move in with the Vazquez Family and their other five Foster Kids. One day, Billy gets on a Subway car and finds himself transported to a different Realm where an Ancient Wizard gives him the Power to transform into a Godlike Adult Superhero by uttering the Word “Shazam!” Billy and his new Foster Brother Freddy Freeman (Jack Dylan Grazer) must discover Billy’s new Powers and how to use them to prevent the Villain Dr. Thaddeus Sivana (Mark Strong), who has Powers of his own, from committing Nefarious Acts.
OUR REVIEW
A Dual Origin Story for both Shazam and Sivana, the two play as Perfect Parallels. Shazam is a Child in a Man’s Body, Sivana a Man stunted by his Experiences as a Child. Mark Strong plays Sivana Deadly Serious and Straight, which works perfectly against Zachary Levi’s Shazam, who struggles to take Anything Seriously at all. The Movie is Consistently Funny throughout, even in Moments of Peril, but it’s also not afraid to go to the Dark Side, balancing the two Tones expertly.

Amazing Guided Tour everyone can experience….
Designed by 4 Architects, Michel Macary, Aymeric Zubléna, Michel Regembla et Claude Costantini, the Stade de France is considered to be the Stadium of the Third Millennium. It boasts 80,000 Sheltered Seating and is equipped with Exceptional Facilities : Restaurants open for Lunch everyday of the Week, Reception Areas, Conference and Exhibition Space, VIP Boxes with Private Terrace, Gourmet Restaurant, Gifts Shop… The Diversity and Quality of the Events organised at the Stade de France goes without saying. Every year, the Most Important Sporting Events take place : the 6 Nations Rugby Tournament, Football Finals, Athletics Meetings…These Events are the Best Guarantee for an Intense Experience to share with your Family and Friends.
The Discussion of a National Stadium in France came about as a Result of the Country’s Selection to host the 1998 FIFA World Cup on 2 July 1992. As a Result of the Selection, the Country and the France Football Federation made a Commitment to construct an 80,000+ Capacity All-Seater Stadium with every Seat in the Facility being covered. It was the First Time in over 70 Years since the Construction of the Stade Olympique Yves-du-Manoir that a Stadium in France was being constructed for a Specific Event. Due to the Magnitude and Importance of the Facility, the Council of State was allowed First Hand Approach to how the Stadium would be constructed and paid for.
During the Developmental Phase, the Stadium was referred to in French as the Grand Stade (“Large Stadium” or “Great Stadium”). On 4 December 1995, the Ministry of Sport launched a Design Competition to decide on a Name for the Stadium. The Stadium was officially named the “Stade De France” after the Ministry heard a Proposal from French Football Legend Michel Platini, who recommended the Name. The Stadium was inaugurated on 28 January 1998 as it hosted a Football Match between France and Spain. The Total Cost of the Stadium was approximately €290 million. The Match was played in Front of 78,368 Spectators, which included President Jacques Chirac, with France winning the Match 1–0 with Zinedine Zidane scoring the Lone Goal, and the First-Ever in the Stade de France, in the 20th Minute. Six months later, France returned to the Stadium and defeated Brazil in the 1998 FIFA World Cup Final to earn their First World Cup Title.
The Stade de France has a Movable Stand which can be retracted to uncover Part of the Athletics Track. The Stadium was notably designed with the Assistance of a Software Simulation of Crowd in order to get an Accurate Observation of how it would look fully developed. The Facility was also intended to draw Interest in and develop the Area of the Plaine Saint-Denis, which straddle the Communes of Saint-Denis, Aubervilliers, and Saint-Ouen. The Primary Goal was to renovate the Area by building New Residential and Tertiary Sites. The Construction of the Stade de France’s Roof cost over €45 million. Its Elliptical Shape symbolizes the Universality of Sport in France. Its Area of Six Hectares and Weight, 13,000 Tons, is considered a Technical Marvel by many. It was designed to easily protect the 80,000 Spectators without covering the Playing Field.

COLLIN CAMERON Crowned WORLD CHAMPION

Collin CAMERON Won A Silver Medal In Biathlon*
Canada’s Collin Cameron rocketed to hisFfirst World Para Nordic Skiing Championships title in Prince George, B.C. The 30-year-old Cameron, who won a Silver Medal in Biath, successfully defended Home Turf with a Golden Performance in the Men’s Sit-Skiing Sprint Competition. “It’s amazing. It is a Dream come True,” said Cameron. “I just wanted to come Out Here and go as Fast as I could. The Skis were like Rockets today so Kudos to all of the Wax Techs and Supporters on the Team that were aPpart of this Today.”
It was Sweet Redemption for the Sudbury, Ont. Native, who is one of the Most Respected Athletes in the Para nordic World. Heading into his First Paralympics one year ago, Cameron’s Medal Focus was on the Sprint Event. He came away from PyeongChang with Three Bronze Medals – Two in Biathlon, and one in the Cross-Country Ski Relay. It was a Bittersweet Games following a Fourth-Place Sprint Result.
“I’ve Honestly been dreaming about this Day since Korea,” said Cameron, who has two IPC World Cup Sprint Victories in his Career.
“I just wanted to come here in Front of the Home crowd and get a Win. My First World Championship Win – this feels Amazing!”
He dusted the Entire Field by nearly 10 Seconds in the Qualification Round. With the Fastest 12 Athletes advancing to the Semifinals for the Head-To-Head Heats, the Former Para Ice Hockey Player punched his Ticket into the Finals when he crossed the Line first in his Heat. The Fastest Three Athletes in each of the two Heats moved onto the Finals.
“I was Super Confident after qualifying. That was a Good Boost of Confidence knowing the Skis were Wicked Fast,” said Cameron.
Cameron shook off a Head Cold that he’s been battling all week to lead the Fastest Sit-Skiers on the Planet one Final Time through the Tall Pines lining the Nordic Tracks en route to winning the Gold Medal in front of a Boisterous Canadian Crowd.
“I felt Really Good. Everyone around me believed in me Today. It feels Amazing,” added Cameron. “To do this on Family Day is Even More Special. My Immediate Family are all Back Home, but my Team is my Extended Family and I have had Lots of Moms and Dads on the Team taking care of me over the Last Couple of Days. It is special to share this with them today.”
Cameron finished ahead of American Daniel Cnossen, who settled for the Silver Medal. Ukraine’s Taras Rad was Third.
Two Canadian Women secured a Spot in the Women’s Standing Skate-Sprint Final. The Youngest Woman in the Field at 18, Natalie Wilkie, finished Fourth while 28-year-old Emily Young fought for Sixth Place.
A Third-Place Sprint Finisher at the 2018 Paralympic Winter Games, Wilkie was in a Full-On Battle with Two Other Skiers for the Bronze Medal with just under 500 metres to go.
Taking Advantage of Lightning-Quick Skis, Wilkie tried to make her Move as the Athletes charged back in front of the Stadium but got boxed out up the Final Climbing and couldn’t Advance out of the Fourth Position.
“It was a Good Fight,” said Wilkie. “It was tough out there. I thought I was going to be able to catch the Ukraine Skier for Third, but I just didn’t quite get her.”
Norway’s Vilde Nilsen won the Women’s Standing Sprint Title. Liudyla Liashenko, of the Ukraine, was Second, while Bohdana Konashuk, also of Ukraine, finished Third.

Published in FRANCE by Les Arènes Editions. The Author is an Canadian-born American Psychologist who advocated Evolutionary Explanations for the Functions of the Brain and thus for Language and Behaviour. His Early Studies on the Linguistic Behaviour of Children led him to endorse Noted Linguist Noam Chomsky’s Assertion that Humans possess an Innate Facility for Understanding Language. Eventually Steven Pinker concluded that this Facility arose as an Evolutionary Adaptation. He expressed this Conclusion in his First Popular Book, “The Language Instinct : How the Mind Creates Language” (1994). The Sequel, “How the Mind Works” (1997), earned a Nomination for the Pulitzer Prize for General Nonfiction.

She lives with a Doting Boyfriend, Trey (Milo Ventimiglia), who wants to start a Family despite her Reluctance. her Best Work Friend (Leah Remini) has a Whiz-Kid Son who sends out a Doctored Résumé and cooks up a Phony Facebook Page. Maya becomes an Ivy League Graduate and Peace Corps Alumna whose Faux-Vita catches the Eye of Anderson Clarke (Treat Williams), CEO of a Cosmetics Corporation attempting to rebrand….
OUR REVIEW
“Second Act” is an Attempt to revitalize the J. Lo brand and put the now 49-year-old One-Woman Industry back on the Big Screen. The Film feels Finely tailored to her. Her Long Trajectory of Workplace Romantic Comedies placed a Woman of Colour Centre Stage, even Vaguely hinting at Issues of Race and Class beyond a Patina of WASPy-ness and Wedding Dresses… It’s been over 17 Years since she delighted us in “The Wedding Planner” and “Maid in Manhattan”, and they remain the Films, for Better of Worse, we most associate with Lopez in this Genre. This Time is no Different.What the Film also accomplishes is Both solidifying Jennifer Lopez’s Timeless Charm and revealing her Aging Audience. Though she has a Hot, Young Love Interest in Trey (Milo Ventimiglia), the Focus isn’t on getting her Man back. Instead the Plot builds around Maya’s Relationship with her Best Friend (Leah Remini), her Struggle with her Past and her Efforts to pivot down an Entirely Different Channel in the “Second Act” of her Career…. Maya wants more… To have it all…. Maya’s Wish is the Movie’s Command !

— Horse Racing is an Equestrian Performance Sport, typically involving Two or More Horses ridden by Jockeys (or sometimes Driven without Riders) over a Set Distance for Competition. It is One of the Most Ancient of All Sports, as its Basic Premise (to identify which of Two or More Horses is the Fastest over a Set Course or Distance) has been unchanged since at least Classical Antiquity. Horse Races vary widely in Format and many Countries have developed their Own Particular Traditions around the Sport. Variations include restricting Races to Particular Breeds, running Over Obstacles, running Over Different Distances, running on Different Track Surfaces and running in Different Gaits. While Horses are sometimes raced Purely for Sport, a Major Part of Horse Racing’s Interest and Economic Importance is in the Gambling associated with it,
