Silk Stocking District

Image
Julie Curly is an award winning musician with passion for singing in both English and French. Her music is inspired by storytelling and visual imagery. Her new English release Silk Stocking District tells the story of feminine power, and the strength of a woman who won't sleep her way to the top. We have conducted an interview with her. Do you sing in other languages? Yes, I sing in French, my native language. If your like « la langue de Molière » you can listen to my self-produce debut album (12 tracks) called Confessions, launch in 2014. You know I may be born a francophone, but I grew up listening to the music of The Beatles, so going for the Shakespearian language was kind of natural for me. Still, I do believe that music is a universal language and has the ability to touch people and make them dance, cry, laugh even if they don’t understand the lyrics. How long did you take to produce your new English single "Silk Stocking District"? I started writin...

Mac Basics

Image
Justin Pierce is an experienced Apple Professional with strong IT background. Justin created an Udemy course to educate all those who are new to Macs. We have conducted a short interview with him. Besides the fact that you are an Apple professional, why did you choose to offer the beginner courses on mac/apple than PC? When I worked at AppleCare I loved fixing the problems that people had, but there just wasn’t enough time to help them with everything they wanted to know about their Mac. With that in mind, I set out to create a course that would give those who were new to Mac, a well rounded lesson about what what their beautiful machine could do. Of course, I could’ve created a class on basics for PC, but Apple is the computing system I enjoy teaching and working on. How long is the course and what is the most useful aspects of the content for a beginner Mac user? The course is 4.5 hours long (you don’t have to watch it all at once) and spread throughout 30 lecture...

Her book, " The key to my heart " was released July 14 2015 by Tate Publishing. We have conducted a short interview with her. Who or what inspires you to write about Shad and Rihanna in your first book 'The Key to My Heart'? My book is actually base on my own experience. I fell completely in love with a boy from my neighborhood and I did not have the courage to tell him. After years of loving him, I then decided that it was important to let him know how I felt for his and my sake; so I wrote, ' The Key to my Heart'. Did your personal experiences when you were coming of age before living in London and originally from British Virgin Islands have an impact on your story and the key characters crafted? Yes, I spent most of my life in the British Virgin islands and the setting of my book is base on Island life. Wh...

A LOVING STORY ABOUT BEING KICKED

Image
When we witness entertainment, we don’t often actively think about what went into creating it. Of course, being caught up in the moment means you’re not contemplating the process behind what you’re experiencing, but for those who hope to pursue their own creative inclinations, it becomes necessary at some point. Whether you’re an athlete, a musician, or a storyteller, innovations often come from pushing yourself. Those who are at the forefront of their vocation are pursuing insight in the same way that those who are new to it do. A challenge always results in education and growth. Writer Rajendra Thakurathi has numerous productions to his credit but believes that new ideas and innovation come from getting out of his comfort zone. It was this idea that inspired Being Kicked . He explains, “I had written some films that were successful in really moving an audience [as in the award-winning film The Dishwasher which saw Thakurathi getting partner mentorship from Primetime Emmy winner (fo...

Is it a real disease or a phenomena of the modern society where we try to medicalize unwanted behaviors? Sex addiction is a "real" addiction, just like alcoholism or drug addiction, but some people have difficulty accepting that something as...

Interview with Aly Lovelace

Aly Lovelace is an actress and gamer in los Angeles, CA. She is streaming on twitch tv helping those in need while playing games. We have conducted a short interview with her. How did you discover Twitch.tv and what inspires you to such a great idea to help those in need by being a streamer on twitch.tv while playing games? I was introduced to twitch.tv through a group called, The Attack, which is a live broadcast show that I auditioned to be on. Once I started exploring twitch on my own, I immediately thought of how much money I could raise for people in need. And doing so while playing games and talking to people would be so fun! I am inspired by this because I have never been in a place financially where I can give what I want to others. Be it food, clothes, or a roof over their heads. Twitch gives me hope in that, you are able to connect with those that you may never encounter in every day life, are able to ask for their help, and if they are able, they will give. How exc...

Who is the most interesting character in “Bridge to Brigadoon?” Good question!

But none of them can compete with Texas Miz Mike, better known as “Miz Mike” to her friends back home. Michal Allison Rice, who writes mysteries as a career, finds herself embroiled in real murder mysteries outside her books. “Bridge to Brigadoon” may...
