Celebrities Provide The Third Answer: Fame With Power

The usual cynics choice is to ask, what would you rather have, fame without power or power without fame? Yet even a cursory look at contemporary society reveals that celebrities have managed to devise a third choice: fame with power.

There is no shortage of for instances. Take Ronald Regan, who went from fame in Hollywood to power in Washington. Or Arnold Schwarzenegger, who has so far gone from fame in Hollywood to power in Sacramento, with his eyes on DC, if his advocates can only get the constitution amended so that a born Austrian can run like a born American. Given the proportion of immigrants who now inhabit the land, the likelihood of Presidential power for the Terminator is hardly out of the question.

Of course, there are also lesser and more numerous instances of the celebritys ability to combine fame with power. How about Mel Gibson, arrested for DWI and a month later we noticed that the arresting officer was being investigated?

Or Barbra Streisand telling a fan to shut up with a word that is not usually accepted in public discourse and then blithely continuing her tour. What if a relatively powerless person like a Senator, say, John Kerry had said the F word, as in getting stuck in f-ing Iraq? The man would have been sent beyond temporary oblivion and been made to resign from the Senate.

Finally, we have Paul McCartney, who, though embroiled in a divorce where his bride is accusing him of abuse, was able to attend the premier of a new classical piece he managed to compose at The Albert Hall.

The time has obviously come when cynics should adjust their choices.

It seems that the only people who are in a real pickle are the ones in the unnamed group those without fame or power. Well, that seems to include most of us. But what would all the celebrities do without us to play to? No audience, no performance.

So we come full circle, not as cynics but as optimists. Sure, there are the secretive few who have power without fame. But most people, who seem on the surface to be distinguished by neither fame nor power, may actually possess the most power, at least, over that uniquely famous and powerful group we refer to as celebrities.

Tom Attea, humorist and creator of http://NewsLaugh.com, has had six shows produced Off-Broadway. Critics have called his writing "delightfully funny," "witty," with "good, genuine laughs" and "great humor and ebullience."

Spanish Translation Software: Reach more, Expand more

Spanish is one of the most widely spoken languages in the world. In fact, Spanish is spoken by almost 400 million people in 21 different countries. While it is the official language of Spain and many Latin American countries, Spanish is understood across the world. Therefore, whether its business, social welfare or any other pursuit, Spanish holds the potential of taking your communication across the world.

In the compressed global world of today, when communication has gained the status of all importance, you can hardly afford to ignore such a sizable segment of world population. This is part of the reason why companies and websites offering translation services have multiplied like never before. But the services of companies or human translators might prove to be too expensive if you have frequent and recurrent need for Spanish translations.

Websites that offer free translating service, on the other hand, are appropriate for short and non-elaborate translations. In fact these websites are ideal to learn new words in a different language or supplement other modes of translation.

So what choice do you have if you need Spanish translation on a day to day basis? As would be the case if you receive business queries in and corporate communications Spanish; or you have a website which receives significant amount of Spanish-speaking visitors; or you are a student who needs to understand Spanish documents. In all these cases you will require a mode of translation which is easy, hassle free and totally affordable.

This is where Spanish translation software comes in. Translation software is not only of the easiest and affordable ways of language translation, it is also one of the most efficient ones. The software works 24/7 and has the lowest costs per translation.

There are also other dialects as Andalusian, Murcian, Aragonese, Navarrese, Leonese, and Canary Islands Spanish.

However the one dialect that is mostly used by Spanish translation software is Castillian Spanish, otherwise known as Neutral Spanish. This is the dialect that all official communication are created in, books, movies and radio programs are also created in this dialect. If you choose good translation software, you can train it to recognize different words from other dialects by building your own customized dictionaries and by building translation memory etc. Need a Mexican Spanish Translation?

The River Grasses

Have you ever sat by a river and watched the mesmerizingly graceful movement of the river grasses, which surrender themselves completely to the flow of the river?

At their base they are firmly attached to a rock on the riverbed. If they were not securely attached in this way, they would be carried away by the current and would perish.

The upper part of these grasses has absolutely no resistance and is thus free to flow in an infinite variety of movements caused by the river's ever-changing flow pattern.

A similar type of event may be seen while observing various sea grasses, which are attached to the bottom of the sea and move with the gentle currents and tides.

We have something to learn from these grasses. We can learn the delicate balance between discipline and freedom, between routine and diversity, between control and surrender, between tradition and change. Obviously, too much of any of these opposite qualities will create problems.

On the one hand we need to have discipline, routine, control and tradition to give us a security base, a moral base, a sense of inner strength and stability in facing the ever-changing circumstances of life.

Spiritual disciplines such as prayer, concentration, meditation, proper diet, self-analysis, exercises and breathing techniques help to create that centered feeling of an inner stability and inner security.

Then we can feel free to allow ourselves to flow with life, trusting the Divine, life, others and our own selves; free from the fear of being harmed, overcome or swept off our feet.

The greater our connection with our inner security base, the more spontaneous and free we can allow ourselves to be.

We all need to find our own way of connecting ourselves to the spiritual rock within us, so that we may adjust and cope in a more relaxed way with the ever-changing situations and tests of life.

Be disciplined and flow.
