Description

I believe that this book would really benefit young girls. As Angie talks about love, life, mental health and various social situations, knowing that someone has been through similar things before could be really helpful for young women. A step forward for occupational folklife studies. . . . This work is a useful source for those wanting to expand their understandings of occupational culture, for scholars who want to understand the tensions between those who guard and those who are guarded, and for people seeking to incorporate more personal and localized context into their criminology and sociology research.” Speaking up and fighting against PSH and sexual assault is not a trend. It is an incredibly taxing thing for many survivors to do. In a survey by UN Women, 96% of respondents did not report incidents despite 97% experiencing PSH. Yet, using our voices to share our experiences gives us a sense of solidarity. When I see other people share their experiences, I know I am not alone and it gives me the courage to say what women experience daily is not okay. In turn, I have so many survivors message me saying that they have been encouraged to speak out.

There's so much great stuff going on in Ron Howard's Parenthood. The movie is a hilarious take on the serious issues that come from the responsibility. It is kind of like the saying, "If you don't laugh, you'll cry." That's how it is with these characters and sometimes they do laugh. Other times they can't and they cry. As a feminist activist and English student, I couldn’t help but instinctively laugh my head off when this comment appeared on an article I wrote for a local newspaper about Public Sexual Harassment (PSH) in Cambridge.

Angie Kent won hearts and friends when she partnered with best friend Yvie Jones to commentate from the couch as we watched them watching TV on GOGGLEBOX. Then Angie proved a stalwart on the 2019 season of I’M A CELEBRITY … GET ME OUT OF HERE! And THEN she became the new Bachelorette. It’s clear Australia can’t get enough of Angie – and now she’s going to give us some of her quirky, funny, warm-hearted wisdom on life, love and everything in between, in the form of a book. I still laugh nervously at the most inappropriate times and am the only one laughing. It’s terribly awkward. It’s become an automatic reflex for bad situations, like when my husband said he was leaving out of the blue, I instantly started laughing. He didn’t find it funny, but it temporarily eased the pain. My mother died in 2005 at the age of 76. I think she wouldhave found a new one-liner or two worth repeating over the last 10 years. The internet would not have been “ her cup of tea,” but I know she would have been deeply upset by Dallas, and she would have likely written a letter to her congressman because “ the squeaky wheel gets the grease.” My mother held her politics close to the vest (Democrat), and often summed up her position as “ you read your newspaper and I’ll read mine” or “ if I wanted your opinion I’d give it to you” if there was a disagreement afoot. I don’t think she would have been “partial” to either Trump or Clinton, but would have voted. And I do think she would have liked John Oliver, probably even more than I do. I think they both share a sense of humor and a do-your-job sensibility. I started this week off with a full day ‘cram’ of university work.... Seems that even at the ripe age of 51, I have not learned my lesson about leaving it to the last minute.

It’s not being first to market or being the most innovative, cutting-edge technology out there. It’s not even vision, execution or culture. It’s having a strong leadership team. It has everything to do with the specific people heading the major functions of the business. Even though there seems to be a consensus in the medical & scientific community that there is not yet enough research data to validate what we believe are the benefits of alkaline water, it still tastes great & water in any form is good for you!For example, a 2016 study of 100 people found a significant difference in blood viscosity after consuming high-pH water compared to regular water after a strenuous workout. This means blood flowed more efficiently with alkaline water which then increases oxygen delivery throughout the body.

America is fascinated by prisons and prison culture, but few Americans understand what it is like to work in corrections. Claire Schmidt, whose extended family includes three generations of Wisconsin prison workers, introduces readers to penitentiary officers and staff as they share stories, debate the role of corrections in American racial politics and social justice, and talk about the important function of humor in their jobs. As mourners gather in Dallas for the funerals of police officers shot and killed by Micah Johnson today, there is a familiar sense that someone, somewhere, is not doing their job. That familiar feeling isn’t restricted to guns and violence. It can be felt across the civic spectrum, from education, college debt, healthcare, trade, employment and growth. The cast is crazy good in this movie. So many big names and they are all great. The performance I enjoyed the most was from a preteen Joaquin Phoenix, credited as Leaf Phoenix. He plays Garry, a kid who is emotionally distant from his mother and enraged at his father for leaving him and not caring about him. Phoenix shows the power that he would go on to display for years at such a young age in a scene where he decides he wants to live with his father for awhile. When he makes the call and is disappointed by the answer, Phoenix gives an emotional and powerful side to a character that for the first part of the movie just said Bye and left the room. Below are the people taking part in the writing challenge set by Keeley Schroder; please show their writing some love; they are all wonderful people. I’m sure we all need a night of laughter after a long week - what better than a hilarious show & a drink on your Friday evening!I read this article & found it to be an essential read for business owners & leaders, whether you are running on EOS or not.

My mother had the habit of using recycling aphorisms in her daily conversations. “ Let’s send that up the flagpole and see who salutes,”“ if it was a snake it would have bitten you,” and “ that bed won’t make itself” were the few I heard most often growing up. But she used them to also dispense life lessons like routinely telling me to find work “ I didn’t mind getting out of bed for in the morning” and to make sure “ my income exceeded my outgo.” Drawing on decades of personal experience, a dozen years of sustained field research, and a wealth of pertinent studies across a range of disciplines, Claire Schmidt offers what is at once a deeply humanistic ethnography of prison workers and the finest extant study of any occupation’s folk humor.” Steve & I loved it & even though we are politically diametrically opposed (as we are with many things… I’ll let you try to work out which way each of us leans!) , we both found it hilarious. At the moment they have May Laugh Fest on, so for the whole month of May there’s an exciting line-up of comedy shows like ‘Improv Magic,’ ‘A Bard’s Tale’ and ‘Instant Broadway.’ The best thing about Improv is how every show is different & delightfully surprising. Prompt 19 by Keeley Schroder. What’s something you find funny, but others around you fail to see the humour?Hayley Turner closing in on landmark 1,000 winners but has no immediate plans for second retirement In Gino’s experience, every single company that has consistently gotten what they want from their business as well as enduring & overcoming huge challenges like a pandemic or a recession, has had this one thing in common. With no holds barred - just as you'd expect - Angie talks about her challenges with mental health and body image; her family and friends; what has and hasn't worked in her relationships, and what she has learned - the hard way - about life. There are plenty of laughs, and some tears, and always plenty of heart. I’ve also had Wade on my podcast to discuss all things Improv & Covert Theatre, as well as creating creativity in a corporate culture and using Improv as a mirror for self-reflection & awareness. However meekly and humbly, we will attempt to follow in “Last Week Tonight's” formula in today’s Early Look.
