Perhaps best known as the snarky narrator and co-founder of the viral YouTube channel CinemaSins, Jeremy Scott cracked the code of turning a passion for film and sarcasm into a full-time job.
Original Sin: From Preacher's Kid to the Creation of CinemaSins (and 3.5 billion+ views) is Jeremy's compelling story of family, career, and deep love for movies that launched him into internet stardom. In his trademark, unapologetic voice, Jeremy gives an irreverent and honest take on the wild ride to creating a YouTube sensation. This memoir-with-a-twist sprinkles readers with his personal advice on the combination of dumb luck, know-how, and je nais se quois it takes to be successful on Youtube while hilariously relaying how two friends stumbled into fame.
With anecdotes of laugh-out-loud misadventures and insightful, actionable advice for aspiring YouTubers, Original Sin is the ultimate behind-the-scenes look into the inception of an internet sensation. But more than that, it's one man's love letter to humankind's greatest escape, a pastime that allows us to dream and dwell on beauty, art, and truth. Original Sin is Jeremy Scott's ode to cinema and how often life can imitate the movies.
The earth's climate has passed the tipping point. White supremacists are armed and marching. Our government cages immigrant children. The wealthy get all the tax breaks. We can't even agree on wearing masks to stop a deadly pandemic.
Many Americans believe that our nation's problems multiply by the day, that those in charge are willing to end our republic to retain power. And they're right.
With riveting insight, political strategist Haven McVarish fights back and sets the "democracy revival" agenda. Weaving a set of comprehensive solutions with an organizing plan to get these solutions into law, McVarish creates the strategy we need for 2021. Otherwise, Democratic leaders will squander this last chance to save democracy afforded by the 2020 "blue wave".
These bold solutions will neutralize the GOP's attacks on democracy. These attacks include unlimited dark money, extreme gerrymandering, voter suppression and endless weaponized misinformation. McVarish's solutions will also deliver ongoing Democratic majorities and depoliticized courts. All without constitutional amendments.
You don't have to feel frustrated and scared.
This blueprint lays out a clear path for us to compel Democrats into taking effective action in 2021 before it's too late.

Автор: Hollingsworth Gerald Название: Adam Scott: A Life of Endurance and the Will to Live ISBN: 1984571567 ISBN-13(EAN): 9781984571564 Издательство: Неизвестно Рейтинг: Цена: 18380.00 T Наличие на складе: Есть у поставщика Поставка под заказ. Описание: This book depicts the revelations of a boy with aspirations. However, his young life was met with encounterments that would hinder and ultimately prevent accomplishments from being achieved. Becoming a Miami Dolphin football player or an astronaut could only be a dream. The culprit is a disease called Muscular Dystrophy. His type was duchenne, which is incurable. Words associated with this disease are muscular weakness, deterioration and extreme weight loss. Requirements are heavy metal leg braces, custom made back braces and wheelchairs. This book takes you on a journey of Adam's like as he coped with not only the aforementioned, but daily variety of meds, oxygen treatments and leg massages. His education consisted of a special Ed school when it was determined that at a regular high school, he endured too many obstacles such as impatient teachers and some students who abusively had fun with jokes about his back brace and twisted body. His final years of schooling would be from his bed at home with a tutor. During his teen years, girlfriends, attending dances, amusement parks and participating or being a spectator of sports are all identifiable with those years. Adam had two companions, which weren't girls. They were a wheelchair and a home hydraulic lift with seat that would transport him from room to room and to the bathroom. A main feature of this illness is a contemptible daily pain. When Adam asked his parents if he would be remembered, reading his life story answers that question. Adam Scott touched the hearts of all who knew him. Your heart will be touched too.

Описание: A New York Times bestseller and a Book of the Year for the Evening Standard and The Times. Is getting a little less comfortable the key to living a happier, healthier life?When journalist Scott Carney came across a picture of a man in his fifties sitting on a glacier in just his underwear, he assumed it must be a hoax. Dutch guru Wim Hof claimed he could control his body temperature using his mind and teach others to do the same.
Sceptical, Carney signed up to Hof's one-week course, not realising that it would be the start of a four-year journey to unlock his own evolutionary potential. From hyperventilating in a Polish farmhouse to underwater weight training in California, and eventually climbing Mt Kilimanjaro wearing just shorts and running shoes, Carney travelled the world testing out unorthodox methods of body transformation and discovering the science behind them. In What Doesn't Kill Us he explains how getting a little less comfortable can help us to unlock our lost evolutionary strength.
