Watch the Trailer for Head Over Heels Our Thoughts on Head Over Heels If you're new here, this space serves as a companion to our Hallmark Review podcast, where we dive deep into Hallmark's latest releases. Today, we're bringing you a comprehensive review of "Head Over Heels," which premiered on the Hallmark Channel on Saturday, August 31, 2024. As always, we invite you to join us on Instagram and our Facebook group, Girls Gone Hallmark, to share your thoughts and engage with fellow Hallmark fans. What We Liked While "Head Over Heels" had many ups and downs, there were some standout elements that caught our attention: Alexandra Castillo as Delaney Diaz: For many of us, Alexandra Castillo was the star of the show. Playing the demanding boss, Delaney Diaz, she brought a level of sophistication and talent that elevated the film. Her portrayal of a Miranda Priestly-esque character from "The Devil Wears Prada" was both cliche and refreshing.

Welcome home Homer Hans Bryant & his Bryant Youth Professionals (YPP) Dance Company. Former principal dancer with the world-renowned Dance Theater of Harlem, his professional credits span from a command performance for the Royal Families of Norway & England to the motion picture, The Wiz, with Diana Ross & Michael Jackson. A former member of Prima Ballerina Maria Tallchief’s Chicago City Ballet, his teaching & training experience includes working with Canada’s mesmerizing Cirque Du Soleil productions of Mystere, Alegria, Quid am, & Saltimbanco. While Mr. Bryant was growing up on St. Thomas, US Virgin Islands, dance classes seemed unattainable, but, as a teenager, he moved to New York to pursue a dancing career. After joining the first African-American classical ballet company, Dance Theatre of Harlem, he reached major milestones in the 1970s: performing on Broadway. In 1990 his career led him to Chicago & in 1992 he founded the Bryant Ballet School, later renamed the Chicago Multi-Cultural Dance Center  (CMDC) to reflect the diversity of dance & the student body.  Mr. Bryant is currently also Assistant Artistic Director for Gus Giordano Jazz Dance Chicago. CMDC is the only contemporary ballet school in the world that teaches Hiplet™, a ballet class that fuses classical pointe technique with Hip-Hop & urban dance styles. He created & trademarked Hiplet™ to make ballet accessible to all, by mixing it with current popular songs that will be familiar to audiences who don’t normally attend ballet performances.  A strict disciplinarian, his slogan "The Fun is in the Discipline, The Discipline is in the Fun" has become a mantra mantra for his current & former students and their parents.

Die Zeit der großen Umbrüche begann mit dem Fall der Berliner Mauer, dem Ende des kalten Krieges, der Öffnung der Grenzen Europas und damit einhergehend der weiteren Internationalisierung von Bildung.Das österreichische Ministerium für Wissenschaft und Forschung reagierte darauf mit der Etablierung von Bildungs- und Forschungskooperationen mit den "wiedergewonnenen" Nachbarländern, um die einst gute Zusammenarbeit wieder aufzunehmen und zu stärken. Der Rückblick auf die Anfänge der akademischen Kooperationen mit den ehemaligen Ostblockländern ist sowohl von großen Erfolgen, als auch von Herausforderungen geprägt. Die Euphorie nach dem Ende des kalten Krieges brachte einigen den gewünschten Erfolg, die Hoffnung anderer wurde enttäuscht.Zum 24. Mal fand im September diesen Jahres die Hochschultagung mit dem Titel: "Kooperation und Mobilität 25 Jahre nach dem Fall des Eisernen Vorhangs: Erfahrungen und Ausblicke" statt und wurde von der Österreichischen Agentur für internationale Mobilität und Kooperation in Bildung, Wissenschaft und Forschung (OeAD-GmbH) organisiert.Im Beitrag hören Sie eine Zusammenfassung der Tagung und in der anschließenden Live-Diskussion kommen Expertinnen zu Wort, die eine Brücke schlagen vom Fall des Eisernen Vorhangs zur aktuellen Situation internationaler Studierender in Österreich, bis hin zu bildungspolitischen Entwicklungen im europäischen und außereuropäischen Raum.Gestaltung: Maiada Hadaia (für den Sendungsinhalt verantwortlich)Gäste:Mag.a Margarita Langthaler (ÖFSE-Österreichische Forschungsstiftung für Internationale Entwicklung)Dir.

Tu, que te alfaiatas em modas e fazes cartazes dos fatos que vestes p'ra que se não vejam as nódoas de baixo! Tu, qu'inventaste as Ciências e as Filosofias, as Políticas, as Artes e as Leis, e outros quebra-cabeças de sala e outros dramas de grande espectáculo Tu, que aperfeiçoas sabiamente a arte de matar. Tu, que descobriste o cabo da Boa-Esperança e o Caminho Marítimo da índia e as duas Grandes Américas, e que levaste a chatice a estas Terras e que trouxeste de lá mais gente p'raqui e qu'inda por cima cantaste estes Feitos... Tu, qu'inventaste a chatice e o balão, e que farto de te chateares no chão te foste chatear no ar, e qu'inda foste inventar submarinos p'ra te chateares também por debaixo d'água, Tu, que tens a mania das Invenções e das Descobertas e que nunca descobriste que eras bruto, e que nunca inventaste a maneira de o não seres Tu consegues ser cada vez mais besta e a este progresso chamas Civilização! Vai vivendo a bestialidade na Noite dos meus olhos, vai inchando a tua ambição-toiro 'té que a barriga te rebente rã. Serei Vitória um dia -Hegemonia de Mim! e tu nem derrota, nem morto, nem nada.

Profetas clandestinos do Naufrágio de Vossos Destinos! E vós também, teóricos-irmãos-gémeos do meu sentir internacional! Ó escravos da Independência! Vós que não tendes prémios por se ter passado a vez de os ganhardes, e famintos e covardes entreteis a fome em revoltas do Mau-Génio no boémia da bomba e da pólvora! E tu também, ó Beleza Canalha Co'a sensibilidade manchada de vinho! Ó lírio bravo da Floresta-Ardida à meia-porta da tua Miséria! Ó Fado da Má-Sina com ilustrações a giz e letra da Maldição!

E vós também, ó moças da Província que trazeis o verde dos campos no vermelho das faces pintadas! E tu também, ó mau gosto co'a saia de baixo a ver-se e a falta d'educação! Ó oiro de pechisbeque (esperteza dos ciganos) a luzir no vermelho verdadeiro da blusa de chita! Ó tédio do domingo com botas novas e música n'Avenida! Ó santa Virgindade a garantir a falta de lindeza! Ó bilhete postal ilustrado com aparições de beijos ao lado! E vós ó gentes que tendes patrões, autómatos do dono a funcionar barato! Ó criadas novas chegadas de fora p'ra todo o serviço! Ó costureiras mirradas, emaranhadas na vossa dor!

Macrots da Pátria que vos pariu ingénuos e vos amortalha infames! E vós também, pindéricos jornalistas que fazeis cócegas e outras coisas à opinião pública! E tu também roberto fardado: Futrica-te espantalho engalonado, apoia-te das patas de barro, Larga a espada de matar e põe o penacho no rabo! Ralha-te mercenário, asceta da Crueldade! Espuma-te no chumbo da tua Valentia! Agoniza-te Rilhafoles armado! Desuniversidadiza-te da doutorança da chacina, da ciencia da matança! Groom fardado da Negra, pária da Velha! Encaveira-te nas esporas luzidias de seres fera! Despe-te da farda, desenfia-te da Impostura, e põe-te nu, ao léu que ficas desempregado! Acouraça-te de senso, vomita de vez o morticínio, enche o pote de raciocínio, aprende a ler corações, que há muito mais que fazer do que fazer revoluções! Ruína com tuas próprias peças-colossos as tuas próprias peças colossais, que de 42 a 1 é meio-caminho andado! Rebusca no seres selvagem no teu cofre do extermínio o teu calibre máximo! Põe de parte a guilhotina, dá férias ao garrote! Não dês língua aos teus canhões, nem ecos às pistolas, nem vozes às espingardas! – São coisas fora de moda! Põe-te a fazer uma bomba que seja uma bomba tamanha que tenha dez raios da Terra. Põe-lhe dentro a Europa inteira, os dois pólos e as Américas, a Palestina, a Grécia, o mapa e, por favor, Portugal! Acaba de vez com este planeta, faze-te Deus do Mundo em dar-lhe fim! (Há tanta coisa que fazer, Meu Deus! e esta gente distraída em guerras!) Eu creio na transmigração das almas por isto de Eu viver aqui em Portugal. Mas eu não me lembro o mal que fiz durante o Meu avatar de burguês. Oh! Se eu soubesse que o Inferno não era como os padres mo diziam: uma fornalha de nunca se morrer... mas sim um Jardim da Europa à beira-mar plantado... Eu teria tido certamente mais juízo, teria sido até o mártir São Sebastião! E inda há quem faça propaganda disto: a pátria onde Camões morreu de fome e onde todos enchem a barriga de Camões! Se ao menos isto tudo se passasse numa Terra de mulheres bonitas! Mas as mulheres portuguesas são a minha impotência! E tu, meu rotundo e pançudo-sanguessugo, meu desacreditado burguês apinocado da rua dos bacalhoeiros do meu ódio co'a Felicidade em casa a servir aos dias! Tu tens em teu favor a glória fácil igual à de outros tantos teus pedaços que andam desajuntados neste Mundo, desde a invenção do mau cheiro, a estorvar o asseio geral. Quanto mais penso em ti, mais tenho Fé e creio que Deus perdeu de vista o Adão de barro e com pena fez outro de bosta de boi por lhe faltar o barro e a inspiração! E enquanto este Adão dormia os ratos roeram-lhe os miolos,
