A memoir of glitz, glamour, geopolitics, and the power of pop
music, following a misunderstood queer biracial kid from small-town
Georgia who became the world's foremost Eurovision Song Contest
blogger. As a boy, William Lee Adams spent his days taking care of
his quadriplegic brother, while worrying about his undiagnosed
bipolar Vietnamese mother, and steering clear of his openly racist
and homophobic father. Too shy and anxious to even speak until he
was six years old, it seemed unlikely William would ever leave
small-town Georgia. He passed the time alone in his room, studying
maps and reading encyclopedias, dreaming of distant places where he
might one day feel free. In time, William discovered that learning
was both a refuge and a ticket out. So even as he struggled to
understand and to get others to accept both his sexuality and his
biracial identity, William focused on his schoolwork, his
extracurricular activities, and building community with the
students and teachers who embraced him for who he truly was. Though
his scholarship to Harvard parachuted him into a whole new world,
he still carried a lifetime of secrets and unanswered questions
that would haunt him no matter how far he traveled. Years later, as
a journalist in London, William discovered the Eurovision Song
Contest—an annual competition known for its extravagant
performers and cutthroat politics. Initially just a fan, he started
blogging about the contest, ultimately becoming the most
sought-after expert on the subject. From Albania, Finland, and
Ukraine, to Israel, Sweden, and Russia, William was soon jetting
across the Continent to meet divas, drag queens, and aspiring
singers, who welcomed him to their beautiful, if dysfunctional,
family of choice. An uplifting memoir about glitz, glamour,
geopolitics, and finding your people, no matter how far you must
travel, Wild Dances celebrates the power of pop music to help us
heal and forgive.
While still in school, photographer Shelby Lee Adams was exposed to
the images of the Farm Security Administration and its depiction of
the crippling effects of the Depression in the American South.
Adams immediately connected with the images and related to the
subjects. He was later driven to create the work in From the Heads
of the Hollers, a project he began in 1973. From the Heads of the
Hollers is a collection of images of the people and culture of the
secluded mountain life of Appalachia. ‘In the Eastern Kentucky
mountains, I try and create a strong connection with those I’m
drawn to. I find the most generous, direct and transparent people
live in the hollers (a ‘holler’ is a narrow valley, usually
with a single lane road, found in isolated mountainous areas). I
learn from my subject’s habits and we work collaboratively, the
photographs made are of subjects sitting or standing in a way that
feels natural to them. In this manner, we make pictures. Folks get
to know me and we communicate in many ways, again and again, over
time. Mountain folks are generally modest and may seem somewhat
shy; many are strongly devoted to their religious beliefs. Most are
kind, sharing and patient. Each is unique.’
A step-by-step guide to building lucid dreaming skills and using
dreamwork for personal development and transformation * Provides an
extensive inventory of beginning, intermediate, and advanced tools
and practices for meaningful lucid dreamwork and shows how dreams
can shape our conscious reality if we incorporate them into waking
life * Offers guidance to help you overcome mental or physical
obstacles, including ways to stop sleep paralysis * Examines
supplements to aid lucid dreaming practice and increase the
vividness and recall of dreams Dreams offer a gateway into our
psyche. Through lucid dreaming--when you have conscious awareness
during sleep--you can access and interact with the subconscious
mind for greater self-awareness, personal development, and
transformation. In this step-by-step guide to dreamwork, Lee Adams
provides tools and techniques for encouraging, remembering, and
using lucid dreams for personal growth as well as how to have big
dreams that leave a lasting impact. Beginning with an overview of
the history of lucid dreaming, he shares tried-and-true
foundational practices to get you started--practices for before
sleep, during sleep, and after dreaming. Drawing upon Jungian depth
psychology, recent research in neuroscience, and years of personal
dream practice, Adams then offers an extensive inventory of
intermediate and advanced methods to support meaningful dreamwork,
such as the Wake Induced Lucid Dreams technique (WILD), where you
fall asleep while conscious and transport your active awareness
into a dream state. He also explores dream companions, symbols of
the unconscious mind, dream interpretation, and working with the
shadow side of the self. He examines how dreams can shape our
conscious reality if we incorporate them or their symbols into
waking life. He offers guidance to help you overcome any mental or
physical obstacles you may encounter, including ways to stop sleep
paralysis. He also examines supplements to aid lucid dreaming
practice, improve dream recall, and increase the vividness of
dreams, such as Alpha-GPC, 5-HTP, Silene undulata, Mugwort, the
mushroom Lion's Mane, and Galantamine. With this practical guide,
you can ignite your mind's capacity to wake up to your own dreams
and restructure your world to be more attuned to your deeper self.

could they possibly want? 1.2 God of War by Sarah Grochala. The
Doctor is still being jolted through his own timeline, and has now

In the far future and the recent past, the Doctor, Nyssa and Tegan
discover that humans can be monsters too. Contains two new
adventures; 1. Friendly Fire by John Dorney (3 parts). When the
TARDIS needs to reset itself, the Doctor, Nyssa and Tegan find
themselves having to fill time on a space-hub filled with numerous
attractions. This pleases Tegan and Nyssa no end... but the Doctor
is more interested in visiting an alien friend of his living on a
nearby mining planet and is able to persuade his friends to join
him. But on arrival his friend is nowhere to be found and the
locals are more than slightly unwelcoming. With limited options for
departure and a hostile populace they may be in a lot of trouble.
Sometimes true monsters are found in the strangest places. 2. The
Edge of the War by Jonathan Barnes (3 parts). France in the summer
of 1936. The village of Villy is in a state of contentment, tinged
only slightly with unease. A kilometre away, construction is
underway on a large underground fortification, part of the Maginot
Line project which has seen the building of a series of defences
against future invasion. A young artist has arrived in the village
to paint the landscape. Her name is Nyssa and she has taken a room
in the local inn, run in its owner's absence by a young Australian
woman called Tegan. But she's not the only newcomer. A detective
called the Doctor has just got in from Paris. And he has quite a
mystery to solve... CAST: Peter Davison (The Doctor), Janet

unexpectedly at a UNIT base. Snowdonia. UNIT is running a training

before things start to go badly wrong. The fake aliens primed to
attack the troops might not be so fake after all, and a temporal
disturbance attracts the Doctor, Tegan and Turlough into the fray.
Old enemies are on the scene with a deadly plan - but they might be
the least of the Doctor's worries. Because he's recently been sent
backwards and forwards through his own lifetime - and he's finally

There's a story told throughout the universe. From the dawn of
history to its dying days, you'll find someone telling it. The
story of the traveller in the blue box. The story of the Doctor. No
one knows the power of stories more than the Doctor who has been in
so many. But for Valarie, this is all new. She's about to learn how
a story can save a life, forge a civilisation or even rewrite
reality itself. 1 All of Time and Space by Ellery Quest. As
concepts for shows go, it's a good one. An adventurer and his
friend travelling through all of time and space, righting wrongs
and defending those who can't defend themselves. Yet, as its
creator is about to discover, there are those who'd rather this
show never existed. What's so dangerous about 'Doctor Who'? 2 The
Yearn by Angus Dunican. The people of Medruth are under siege.
Forced into underground bunkers, the Medruthians are desperate for
a way to escape. When the Doctor and Valarie arrive, it seems like
they've finally got everything they wanted. Except, that's when the
nightmares really begin. 3 Curiosity Shop by James Goss. Mr Foreman
owns a junkyard. He doesn't get many visitors. In fact, all anyone
ever seems interested in is Barbara. One woman informs Mr Foreman

The TARDIS brings the Doctor and Turlough to a high-tech scientific
installation on the planet Testament in the distant future. The
human race have become intergalactic buccaneers, thanks to their
ability to generate vast amounts of power for long distance travel.
Testament is the source of that power - and the Doctor has never
quite understood how it works. But experiments are underway on
Testament - experiments with potentially explosive and devastating
consequences. And even the Doctor may be too late to stop it. With
politicians and bureaucrats getting in the way, the race is on. Not
to stop a disaster - but to save as many people as possible. CAST:

Ayola (Violet Hardaker), Lynsey Murrell (Ellison/Fionn), Raj Ghatak

space and time. Their names are Abby and Zara...1. The Garden of
Storms. In pursuit of Abby and Zara, Leela pilots the TARDIS to the
eye of a violent storm in time. Yet she and the Doctor find
themselves in an idyllic garden city, the people contented and
happy. They soon discover that this bliss comes at a terrible cost,
and that Abby and Zara are determined to put things right… so how
can Leela and the Doctor stop them? 2. The Moonrakers. Life is hard
for the early pioneers building the first settlements on the Moon.
The laws of the Earth don’t apply here, and there are tussles
over limited resources vital to survival. Arriving on the Moon, the
Doctor and Zara discover than an aggressive alien species lies in
wait. Yet there’s something very strange about these particular
Sontarans: they refuse to fight. 3. The People Made of Smoke. Abby
and Zara strive to use their powers for good but it’s clear they
are damaging reality – and allowing monstrous creatures to bleed
through from beyond. The Doctor knows he can only save the universe
by destroying his friends. But just how much might he be willing to
sacrifice if there’s a chance to save them? CAST: Peter Davison
