  Rosemary Clooney (May 23, 1928 – June 29, 2002) She came to prominence in the early 1950s with the song "Come On-a My House", which was followed by other pop numbers such as "Botch-a-Me", "Mambo Italiano", "Tenderly", "Half as Much", "Hey There" and "This Ole House". She also had success as a jazz vocalist. Clooney's career languished in the 1960s, partly due to problems related to depression and drug addiction, but revived in 1977, when her White Christmas co-star Bing Crosby asked her to appear with him at a show marking his 50th anniversary in show business. In 1954, she starred, along with Bing Crosby, Danny Kaye, and Vera-Ellen, in the movie White Christmas. She starred, in 1956, in a half-hour syndicated television musical-variety show The Rosemary Clooney Show. The show featured The Hi-Lo's singing group and Nelson Riddle's orchestra. The following year, the show moved to NBC prime time as The Lu...

  Pier Angeli (June 19, 1932 –September 10, 1971) Her American film debut was in the starring role of Teresa (1951), for which she won a Golden Globe Award. Twenty years later, she had been chosen to play a part in The Godfather, but died before filming began. Pier had romantic relationships with actors Kirk Douglas and James Dean before going on to marry Vic Damone.

Among the impressive remains of the ancient Roman fort 'Tossal de La Cala' in Spain, archaeologists from the University of Alicante have found echoes of its former inhabitants. Excavations at the fort have revealed three carvings in the rock ~ a face, a phallus, and a cornucopia. Archaeologists believe that the three carvings are around 2,000 years old. They measure 57 by 42 centimeters, but may have once been part of something much larger. The archaeologists are unsure if the carvings were simply graffiti left by a bored soldier, or if they had some kind of ritualistic significance. Phallic imagery played an important role in ancient Roman culture. They could be used to signify fertility, power, and good luck and could also be used as protection against the “evil eye.” Because of this protective element, Romans sometimes wore phallic amulets, hung phalluses over their doorways, or incorporated them into art like frescoes. Likewise, the cornucopia symbol, a horn-shaped bask...

Bette Davis seen here knitting on the set of William Keighley's American screwball romantic comedy 'The Bride Came C.O.D.' (1941). The movie is an American screwball romantic comedy starring James Cagney as an airplane pilot and Bette Davis as a runaway heiress. Although the film was publicized as the first screen pairing of Warner Bros.' two biggest stars, they had actually made 'Jimmy the Gent' together in 1934, and had wanted to find another opportunity to work together. The screenplay was written by Kenneth Earl, M. M. Musselman, and twins Julius J. Epstein and Philip G. Epstein. The basic plot owes much to Frank Capra's Pre-Code American romantic comedy 'It Happened One Night' (1934), starring Clark Gable and Claudette Colbert, in which an heiress seeks to marry a playboy of whom her father disapproves, only to end up with a charming working man. This movie, 'The Bride Came C.O.D.' featured, in supporting roles, Canadian actor Jack Carso...

The Hohenzollern Castle Baden-Württemberg - Germany The first personal related reference of the Hohenzollern House dates back to 1061 ("Wezil et Burchardus de Zolorin"). First direct mention of the Castle complex ("Castro Zolre") was in 1267. Appearance, size and furnishing of the original Castle are unknown, but presumably it was in the first decade of the 11th century. At that time it must have been a vast and artistically valuable furnished complex. Contemporary sources praised it as "Crown of all Castles in Swabia" and as "the most fortified House in Germany". However in 1423, the Castle was completely destroyed.

  De witte duif op deze kaart vliegt hoog boven de Aarde, en kan dingen vanuit een hoger perspectief zien. Zij doet jou de suggestie om dat ook te doen. Dit kun je natuurlijk niet fysiek doen, maar geestelijk kun je het wel door emotioneel afstand te nemen van de huidige situatie. Wat de situatie ook is, houd op met daar steeds aan te denken. Je staat er op dit moment zo dicht op, dat het niet lukt om de dingen helder te zien. Er bestaat een simpele oplossing, die je duidelijk zal worden op het moment dat je de situatie loslaat. Denk een tijdje helemaal niet aan de situatie. Ga bij jezelf naar binnen. Doe je ogen dicht, ontspan en doe een meditatie. Geef je over, en laat het los. Maak een wandeling, ga dansen, beleef plezier. Doe datgene wat nodig is om een tijdje afstand van de dingen te nemen. En als het moment daar is, zal de oplossing heel vanzelfsprekend voor je zijn.

Berse-le-Chatel is a castle-fortress of the 13th century, which rises above a picturesque valley and vineyards. 13 towers, terraces, a luxurious garden, Caroling Chapel and three tiers of powerful defensive walls (the width of which at the base is about 3 meters! ) - there was everything here for life and defense. At one time, this formidable structure was considered inaccessible. The first mentions of Berze Castle date back to the twentieth century. In those days it was owned by the lords of the Stock Exchange, who had the right to do justice on their lands. In 1229, to protect the nearby Klyuny Abbey, the building was turned into an impassable fortress. During the Centenary War, the Berze fortress, which occupies a strategically position, became a stumbling block more than once. The sovereign princes of the Burgundy State and the French Kingdom fought for him. After all the battles, the fortress remained destroyed and for several centuries (from 1591) remained abandoned. At the begin...

    Barbara Cartland - Ze wordt met reden uitgeroepen tot de 'True Queen of Romance'. De meeste van haar boeken zijn uitstekend en haar schrijfstijl roept altijd emoties op. Haar boeken zijn kort en de meeste helden hebben vergelijkbare kenmerken, maar op de een of andere manier word ik zo meegezogen in haar verhalen dat ik de gebreken niet opmerk. Veel van haar boeken zijn nu niet meer verkrijgbaar, maar als je ooit de kans krijgt, moet je haar boeken eens proberen.

  Je kunt een gebeurtenis uit het verleden moeilijk loslaten. Het beïnvloedt je nog steeds in het heden. Je voelt je ontheemd. Het is moedig, dat je Jezelf volledig hebt uitgesproken. Daarbij heb je Jezelf niet laten leiden door je emoties. Toch blijft het gevoel aan je knagen. De situatie is voor je gevoel niet volledig opgelost. Dat de ander je uit onvermogen kwetst, is lastig te verdragen. Het is geen kwestie van goed of fout. Je voelt je niet gehoord en gezien. Juist dat associeert je met je Kindpijn. Zet je gevoelens eens op papier. Verwoord je gedachten in een brief. Het is niet noodzakelijk om deze te versturen. Die keuze staat je vrij. Het verlicht je Hart. Benoem wat je kwijt wilt.
