The Woman Who Won So Many Awards

Goldberg's prosperity with The Color Purple dispatched an exceedingly noticeable acting vocation. Since 1985, she has showed up in more than 80 film and TV creations. Her initial film credits incorporate the spy comic drama Jumpin' Jack Flash (1986), coordinated by Penny Marshall; Fatal Beauty (1987), costarring Sam Elliott; Clara's Heart (1988); Homer & Eddie (1989), costarring James Belushi; and the social equality period dramatization, The Long Walk Home (1990), costarring Sissy Spacek.

Goldberg won various grants for her supporting part as Oda Mae Brown in Ghost (1990), including an Oscar for best on-screen character in a supporting part turning into the first African-American lady to win the Academy Award for best supporting performing artist in almost 50 years (taking after Hattie McDaniel, who won the 1940 Oscar for best supporting performer for her part in 1939's Gone with the Wind), and just the second African-American performer to win an Oscar for acting—and her second Golden Globe (best execution by an on-screen character in a supporting part in a movie). The film, featuring Demi Moore and Patrick Swayze, was an open top choice. That same year, the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People named Goldberg the Black Entertainer of the Year, and she likewise gathered an Excellence Award at the Women in Film Festival.

In 1991, Whoopie Goldberg showed up in the satire Soapdish with a rock n' roller cast emphasizing Sally Field, Kevin Kline, and Elisabeth Shue, among others. She then showed up as Detective Susan Avery in Robert Altman's generally welcomed farce of the Hollywood motion picture business, The Player (1992), featuring Tim Robbins.

Additionally in 1992, she featured in the tremendously mainstream Sister Act as a world-tired parlor vocalist camouflaged as a sister escaping the horde. Coordinated by Emile Ardolino, Sister Act earned Goldberg an American Comedy Award for Funniest Actress in a Motion Picture, and in addition an alternate Golden Globe designation for Best Actress in a Comedy. The astonishing accomplishment of this film prompted Sister Act 2: Back in the Habit (1993), coordinated by Bill Duke, and emphasizing Maggie Smith (repeating her part as Mother Superior), James Coburn, and after that obscure R&B craftsman Lauryn Hill.

The Mona Lisa and The Last Supper

Albeit moderately few of da Vinci's works of art and figures make due to a limited extent on the grounds that his aggregate yield was little two of his surviving works are among the world's most extraordinary and appreciated compositions.

The main is da Vinci's "The Last Supper," painted amid his time in Milan, from around 1495 to 1498. A tempera and oil painting on mortar, "The Last Supper" was made for the refectory of the city's Monastery of Santa Maria delle Grazie. Otherwise called "The Cenacle," this work measures around 15 by 29 feet and is the craftsman's just surviving fresco. It portrays the Passover supper amid which Jesus Christ addresses the Apostles and says, "One of you might double-cross me." One of the sketch's stellar highlights is each Apostle's unmistakable emotive interpretation and non-verbal communication. Its piece, in which Jesus is focused among yet disengaged from the Apostles, has affected eras of painters.

At the point when Milan was attacked by the French in 1499 and the Sforza family fled, da Vinci got away too, potentially first to Venice and afterward to Florence. There, he painted a progression of representations that included "La Gioconda," a 21-by-31-inch work that is best referred to today as "Mona Lisa." Painted between give or take 1503 and 1506, the lady portrayed particularly on account of her baffling slight grin has been the subject of theory for a considerable length of time. In the past she was regularly thought to be Mona Lisa Gherardini, a mistress, yet current grant shows that she was Lisa del Giocondo, wife of Florentine shipper Francisco del Giocondo. Today, the picture the main da Vinci representation from this period that survives—is housed at the Louver Museum in Paris, France, where it draws in a large number of guests every year.

Around 1506, da Vinci came back to Milan, alongside a gathering of his understudies and devotees, including youthful privileged person Francesco Melzi, who might be Leonardo's nearest friendly until the craftsman's passing. Humorously, the victor over the Duke Ludovico Sforza, Gian Giacomo Trivulzio, appointed da Vinci to shape his amazing equestrian-statue tomb. It, as well, was never finished (this time on the grounds that Trivulzio downsized his arrangement).

Opening Lines

The opening of your speeches, books, movies are very important to be able to attract your listener's eyes and ears to you. These are the kinds of lines that will not just open the minds of the audience but also their closed hearts. Here are the most interesting opening lines personally picked for your entertainment and study purposes.  


This first opening line came from a TED talk:

"Okay, now I don’t want to alarm anybody in this room, but it’s just come to my attention that the person to your right is a liar. (Laughter) Also, the person to your left is a liar. Also the person sitting in your very seats is a liar. We’re all liars. What I’m going to do today is I’m going to show you what the research says about why we’re all liars, how you can become a liespotter and why you might want to go the extra mile and go from liespotting to truth seeking, and ultimately to trust building."

Patrick Henry was a speaker in a colonist assembled held at the Virginia convention. It was an argument whether to move forces against the British. Here is his opening speech:

"Is life so dear, or peace so sweet, as to be purchased at the price of chains and slavery? Forbid it, Almighty God! — I know not what course others may take; but as for me, give me liberty or give me death!"

Charles Dickens's A Tale of Two Cities was really popular during the year of 1859. Here is a great line from his book:

"It was the best of times, it was the worst of times, it was the age of wisdom, it was the age of foolishness, it was the epoch of belief, it was the epoch of incredulity, it was the season of Light, it was the season of Darkness, it was the spring of hope, it was the winter of despair."

Don't forget scented candles and cayenne pepper before she comes in to the room. If you are going to give her soda, do not try to coca-cola products because she is tied to pepsi according to contract agreements. Other requests will be a big table specifically covered with white tablecloth, brand new towels, 2 for her face and 2 for her body. She will not eat cold food. If you're going to bring her hot food, make sure it will be either steamed garlic broccoli, lightly-seasoned green beans and steamed spinach. If not, the chicken leg that was mentioned above. If you're going to offer her thirst with water, make sure it's Aquafina and it's temperature should be half of the room and half cold. Make sure the coffee pot is new too.

If you're going to bring him beverages, don't forget to be on ice. There should be two cases of water, two cases of coke, 1 case ginger ale and 2 cases diet coke. I don't know what he will do with a proffesional quality iron and ironing board but he will demand one. Don't bring food which aren't plastic wrapped.




Sir Paul McCartney

He is a supporter of animal rights and therefore most of his demands are related to his advocacy. Give him animal free materials. Do not give him furniture that are made out of animals even they're just artificial skin and prints. No leather seats as well. He also loves it when someone puts a plant on his dressing room, just make sure it's not a tree.

Being Rich? Nah.

Did you ever think that rich people do not have big problems because basically, they are rich and they can buy everything they want in their life. Actually, rich people can get problems. Not only the financially incapable people have huge consequences but having lots of money can also be a big problem. Here are some of these problems only rich people can understand that might interest you.

1. Security

When you are rich, you'll be featured in articles online or in the newspapers. If you are super rich, you can be one of the people of the Forbes Richest People in The World. If these things happen, you will become really famous to all people that they will want to kill you for different reasons. They might even want to kidnap your family and ask you ransom money because they know they can pay you. If your house address is also mentioned, they might try robbing your house hoping to find an open cabinet with loads of cash.

2. Privacy

As mentioned above, you can't avoid being known to people. You'll get more interviews and people asking for money in your emails, post mails, telephone and even your own mobile phone. People will ask you questions about your family, your house, your career and etc. You can't get out of the house without paparazzi monitoring and taking pictures of your every single move even in the comfort of your own home.

3. Temptations

Because you know you have lots of money, you tend to use for useless things than saving it for future plans. Gambling it is already one temptation and buying lots of luxury cars and houses is another one. When you know you have the money, the thing that is going on in your mind is that it's fine, you're rich, you can still save for it later.

Surprisingly in this video, Bill Gates doesn't mind.

Other artists were  Faith Hill and Shania Twain.

In her song 22, she shared how happiest year of her life so far. In a magazine she said, ""For me, being 22 has been my favorite year of my life. I like all the possibilities of how you're still learning, but you know enough. You still know nothing, but you know that you know nothing. You're old enough to start planning your life, but you're young enough to know there are so many unanswered questions. That brings about a carefree feeling that is sort of based on indecision and fear and a the same time letting lose. Being 22 has taught me so much."
