"You know, male executives, most of the studio musicians were men, most of the managers were men, it was just more male-dominated in every sense. She recalled bracing herself to enter rooms with her female manager, and experiencing sexism and challenges that male artists weren't coming up against. They were embracing my way of making my music and my way of visualizing my music through photography and videos." Twain said this is shown by fewer new female artists emerging in country music than there once were, while the charts are typically dominated by men — or women collaborating with men. "Total annual spins" for male artists in radio's year-end reports increased from 5.8 million in 2000 to 10.3 million in 2018 for male artists; as spins for women fell from 2.8 million to 1.1 million over the same period.

LOS ANGELES, Feb 7 (Reuters) - After a life-threatening bout of COVID-19, five-time Grammy winner Shania Twain hopes to bring joy to the world with her new album "Queen of Me". But instead of navel gazing, Twain, 57, said she put herself in a playful frame of mind. That's the mode I'm in and I sense it with the fans as well," she said. "When I'm getting into the songwriting mode, I'm just dreaming. The country music phenomenon is ready to tour the world with her new album, starting out in Spokane, Washington, in April and finishing in Vancouver, British Columbia, in mid-November.

ET as Anderson Cooper and Andy Cohen co-host CNN’s “New Year’s Eve Live” from New York City’s Times Square. CNN —Every New Year’s Eve, Anderson Cooper and Andy Cohen host four-and-a-half hours of live television, joined by celebrity guests and performers, as they count down to the new year. “New Year’s Eve Live” is created by “a patchwork team of CNN employees from different show teams, bureaus and units from around the globe,” Hall explained. Here’s what Doft and Hall told us about the live special and what we can look forward to Saturday night:This is the 20th year that Anderson Cooper has hosted ‘New Year’s Eve Live’ on CNN. In fact, it’s why he chooses to anchor “New Year’s Eve Live” — to make sure the audience has a place to go and to fill people with hope, laughter and love.
According to Mark Twain, “It ain’t what you don’t know that gets you into trouble. It’s what you know that ain’t so.” “The Myth of American Inequality,” by Phil Gramm, Robert Ekelund and John Early, quotes that wisdom, then offers 250 pages of analysis proving it. Has the average standard of living grown substantially since the 1960s? Has inequality shrunk over that period? Did post-1960 redistributive policies reduce the percentage of families living in poverty?
Working on your hardset task first thing each day leaves you time and energy to get more done later. Courtesy of Akshad SingiHere's why it works wonders:It eliminates the procrastination that stems from trying to decide "when" to start working. If you decide when to start working in real-time, procrastination is inevitable. You might think that you'll start working in five minutes — but those five minutes will turn into an hour without you realizing it. If it's already decided that you'll start working at two o'clock the next day, the chances of procrastination are reduced massively — if not completely.

After being abruptly postponed in January, Adele’s Las Vegas residency, “Weekends With Adele,” made its debut at Caesar’s Palace on Friday. But Adele highlights how it’s been transformed into an artistic achievement, why it’s never going away and reminds us how Las Vegas made residencies cool. This isn’t a complete list because a Las Vegas residency is no longer necessarily out of the ordinary. Does this all mean a Vegas residency is the right fit for everyone? In the shifting economic climate and post-pandemic realities, a Vegas residency may be more appealing to artists whowouldn’t normally consider it.

  + stars: | 2022-11-19 | by ( Travis Clark | ) www.businessinsider.com   time to read: +2 min
The best-selling musicians of all time include pop sensations like Taylor Swift and rock legends like Metallica. We ranked the best-selling musicians of all time based on their total certified album units sold in the US according to the Recording Industry Association of America. Swift moved up in the rankings recently thanks to her latest album, "Midnights." The list is based on total certified album units sold in the US (including streaming figures). England's greatest rock band still holds the top spot on this all-time ranking of best-selling artists by album sales, and it looks untouchable on a list filled with a number of surprising appearances.
Will we cover 75% of California with green energy tech? Given these existing technological limitations and regulations, the aggregate demand for land to power our future green economy is huge. We would need 120,000 square miles, or 77 million acres, of land to install the wind and solar facilities for the energy transition. As cities expand, rising land prices in these areas would further constrain the location options for green energy generators. The political backlash in rural America could be alleviated if the economic gains from green power are large enough.
Stephen King likened Elon Musk to a character who cons friends into doing chores and then charges them. King referenced the protagonist in "The Adventures of Tom Sawyer" by Mark Twain. King has criticized Musk for planning to charge Twitter users $8 a month to stay verified. "Musk makes me think of Tom Sawyer, who is given the job of whitewashing a fence as punishment," King tweeted on Wednesday. The author has spoken out about plans for a monthly verification fee for Twitter users who want to keep their blue tick.
“Friends” star Matthew Perry startled many of his fans by announcing that he had been to drug rehab 15 times and spent some $9 million on getting into recovery. And if you’ve tried to beat an addiction 14 times, does a 15th try really make sense? From left, Courteney Cox, Jennifer Aniston, Lisa Kudrow, and Matthew Perry in a scene from "Friends". If recovery attempts involve seeking professionally provided addiction treatment, especially those delivered in high-end residential programs, repeated attempts can be financially ruinous. Some other good news: Because of federal legal reforms enacted over the past 15 years, health insurance is much more likely today to pay for some or all of addiction treatment.
For meteorologist Joseph Trujillo, the right translation is more than a language issue, especially when it comes to weather-related warnings. A NOAA assessment revealed a lack of weather-related resources in the Spanish language that could have helped communities take action to save lives. But those linguistic differences can bring great challenges when translating emergency information, such as weather alerts, for all Hispanic people. They designed a new list of categories that better reflect the risk of climate emergencies in simpler terms: minimum, low, moderate, high and extreme. That first experience led him to pursue meteorology and his investigative work, which he presented to the National Weather Service.
In fact, there's so much material it could make several great country music songs. And, and it feels good," Twain told CNN's Chris Wallace in a conversation for his new show, "Who's Talking to Chris Wallace?" Twain is currently working on her sixth full-length solo project, her first solo album since 2017. While the album was the bestselling country album that year and won a Grammy, purists said her music wasn't country enough. Shania Twain, performing here in 2018, has a new album debuting.
În cadrul Conferinței generale de la Paris, în 1995, UNESCO a hotarăt, să fie serbată în mod oficial pentru a promova cititul, promovarea cărților și a drepturilor de autor. Însă, ideea înființări acestui tip de aniversare a venit cu mult înainte de 1995, mai exact în 1923, atunci când mai mulți spanioli, amatori de cărți, și-au dorit să-i aducă un omagiu lui Miguel de Cervantes. La Conferința generală de la Paris, UNESCO a decis ca data oficială de aniversare pentru Ziua Internațională a cărții să fie 23 aprilie deoarece, conform calendarului gregorian, în această zi se sărbătorește nașterea și moartea lui William Shakespeare, ziua în care a decedat creatorul Don Quijote, dar și Miguel de Cervantes, care a murit pe 22 aprilie, dar a fost înmormântat pe 23 aprilie. Mai jos prezentăm câteva curiozități despre cărți și lectură:„Aventurile lui Tom Sawyer” de Mark Twain este primul roman din lume redactat pe o maşină de scris;Una dintre cele mai scumpe cărți din lume este considerată Codexul Leicester care aparține lui Leonardo da Vinci.

Obiceiuri ciudate ale unor scriitori faimoși: 50 de cești de cafea pe zi sau scrisul cu capul în josCreativitatea şi inspiraţia se pot lăsa de multe ori aşteptate, marii scriitori nefiind nici ei scutiţi de blocaje, pe care le depăşeau în diferite moduri. Unii scriau doar întinşi în pat, în timp ce alţii aveau nevoie de băutură pentru a aşterne cuvintele pe foaia de hârtie. Vă prezentăm în continuare unele obiceiuri ciudate ale unor scriitori faimoși, precum Victor Hugo, Honore de Balzac sau Virginia Woolf. La cealaltă extremă, Charles Dickens, Ernest Hemingway, Philip Roth, Lewis Carroll sau Virginia Woolf alegeau să scrie doar stând în picioare. Şi Virginia Woolf folosea cerneală diferită, optând pentru nuanţe precum verde, violet sau albastru.

Negrul este culoarea care este cel mai des asociată cu inteligenţa şi cu sex-appealul, potrivit unui sondaj realizat de curând în Marea Britanie, informează Mediafax„Ezitaţi dimineaţa în privinţa culorii hainelor pe care vreţi să le purtaţi atunci când vă prezentaţi la un interviu de angajare sau la o întâlnire romantică? Alegeţi negrul. Culoarea costumelor de bancher şi a ospătarilor este, de asemenea, culoarea care vă va oferi cea mai bună imagine pentru a părea în acelaşi timp inteligent, dar şi sexy”, afirmă autorii unui sondaj realizat de site-ul britanic Buytshirtsonline. Respectând acest dicton, 56 % din totalul celor 1 000 de respondenţi au spus că negrul este culoarea pe care o asociază cel mai bine cu încrederea în sine. Totodată, negrul este şi culoarea care îi ajută cel mai des pe oameni să pară „inteligenţi” (iar rozul ocupă ultimul loc din acest punct de vedere).
