Michael Jackson - You Are Not Alone. (Lyrics).

Partly Cloudy Pixar Short Film

All day long, cheerful clouds in the sky make (creano /fanno) cute and cuddly (adorabili) babies, such as human boys and girls, kittens, puppies, and other creatures, and give them to storks (cicogne) for delivery. However, one lonely grey cloud named Gus has the task of creating animals that are cute but not so cuddly.
 Peck, his delivery stork,  gets the worst of it! He is bitten  by a crocodile, butted (preso a cornate) by a bighorn sheep,(bighorn / pecora delle Montagne Rocciose)) and pricked by a porcupine. When Peck sees that his next delivery is a shark, he grows more than a little fearful and flies away.

Feeling rejected,  and angry, Gus unleashes (scatena) a brief thunderstorm, then starts crying with rain pouring from below him. Peck, however, soon returns with a football helmet and shoulder pads to keep him safe.  
Gus instantly cheers up and gives Peck an electric eel (anguilla elettrica) to deliver, which shocks him despite the protective equipment; this time, though, Peck remains in good (but  frazzled)(spossato/esausto) spirits.

Ed Sheeran - Lego House (Behind The Scenes)

The Life of Charles Dickens (BBC)

Charles John Huffam Dickens was born on the 7th of February 1812 to John and Elizabeth Dickens. Charles was the second child of eight siblings in all, six of whom survived to adulthood. John, a naval clerk, always spent beyond his means. One day, he pointed out a house to Charles,remarking that he could live in such a house, if he worked hard.

The family moved to London in 1822. At twelve, as the family finances worsened, Charles had to start work in a blacking factory, labelling bottles for eleven hours a day. John Dickens was eventually sent to a debtors' prison; Charles visited him there every Sunday.

His youth left him with an ambitious drive. In 1827 he began work as a solicitor's clerk. From the surroundings of his unremarkable office he began to collect names and characteristics of the people he saw.

Charles began a journalistic career in 1831; writing became his passion. Working for the paper by day, and on his own work by night. He was beginning to taste success. His first piece of fiction was published in 1835. That same year, Charles met Catherine Hogarth. They fell in love and got married. The next few years of fervent activity resulted in much writing and many children.

As his writing became more popular and his fame more widespread, rumours began to abound of his drunkenness and admission to an asylum. Stories were easy to concoct about the writer who kept a pet raven and whose writing dwelt in the extreme of the sentimental and the grotesque.

In 1842, Charles and Catherine set sail for America. On landing in Boston, they were mobbed by crowds. Dickens's interest lay in visiting the unusual which inspired his writing.

He took his whole family on his next big trip to Italy, in the summer of 1844. Upon his return, Dickens began to look for new diversions. He helped to start and edit a radical newspaper,founded a refuge for homeless women and performed his works at public readings.

Aged 44, Charles bought Gads Hill, the house his father had pointed out to him all those years before. It symbolized the pinnacle of achievement.Whilst Dickens was organizing a theatrical project, "The frozen deep", He met and was spell-bound by a young actress, Ellen Ternan; there is much speculation about this relationship that caused the end of his marriage to Catherine.

One fateful night in 1865, whilst Charles and Ellen were returning from Paris, their train crashed at Staplehurst. Dickens administered brandy and water to the injured and dying. Only at the last minute did he remember to retrieve the final part of "Our mutual friend" from the wrecked carriage.

The incident left Charles very shaken. For a while he maintained his busy itinerary, then his health began to fail. At home on Wednesday, the night of June, 1870, at the age of 58, Charles suffered a stroke and died. He is buried in Westminster Abbey.

Scent of a woman

Scent of woman 1992  by Martin Brest

Starring Al Pacino Chris O’ Donnel

Frank is a retired Lt Col in the US army. He's blind and impossible to get along with.   Charlie Simms is a boy from Oregon who attends Baird School, a Boys’ boarding school (In New Hampshire)

 Unlike most of the other boys who come from rich and affluent backgrounds Simms is there on a scholarship. One evening  while Charlie and a very well-off boy are walking , they see that some friends of George's  are preparing a  prank on Mr Trask, the Dean (the headmaster) of the school.

 The headmaster learns that Charlie and George know who pulled the prank and invite them to tell him their names, but they refuse to.

 He gives the Thanksgiving Holiday to think about it. He also tells Charlie that he's recommending him to an Ivy League College.

 Charlie then goes off to a Thanksgiving job--taking care of Colonel Frank Slade.

 To Charlie’s surprise  Slade has a plan: to go to New York where he has several agendas of his own.

Here are few words to look it up: big hug, fearless, voracious reader, rippling creek, endowed with wisdom, of judgement sound, abound,deal, conniving, crass, puckered his lips, stunt, lamppost, pulled focus.

Scent of a woman "the prank"
