  “You look so familiar, where have I seen you?” Mira Tzur repeatedly hears this statement when she enters a room. The answer to this question is what inspired Anonymously Famous™. Mira Tzur is best known for her multifaceted talents and familiar, warm presence. She is an Israeli American Founder & President of One Circle Productions & Consulting Group, actress, theater and film producer, social philanthropist, French Countess, former counterintelligence IDF officer, and Senior Vice President of a next gen fintech company. Her background and unique credentials in dance, fitness, nutrition, modeling, and acting set her up for a life of success as a leader in the business world. This informative A to Z guide illustrates her own—often humorous—25-year journey in the industry of modeling and acting, sharing interviews with many of her renowned peers and colleagues, demonstrating that modeling is a lifestyle that evolves over time. Throughout the book, Mira expresses a strong message that a model can work in the profession at any age, depicting their stage in life to inspire the target audience. Twenty years of experience has a far greater value than being 20 years old, even in a business driven by external beauty. Thus, while most fashion modeling books speak to the 1% dreaming of becoming a supermodel—for most, an unattainable goal—this book speaks to the other 99% who, at some point, dream of modeling but were told not to pursue it. Anonymously Famous™ explores in-depth, the platforms you’ll need to know about: print, commercial, voice-over, hosting, animation, unions, agents, managers, casting directors, photographers, modeling [fit, foot, fitness, part, petit, plus, mature, etc.], giving the reader enough mileage to take their own journey. In today’s world, the only thing that you have going for you is you! Are you the best version of yourself at any given age?

  100 20th-Century Sports and...

  A showcase of Britain's most architecturally significant sports and leisure buildings from the twentieth century and beyond.
  100 20th Century Sports and Leisure Buildings gives a fascinating insight into the spaces where we play: from swimming pools and skate parks to ice rinks and cricket pavilions. These structures are not only an intensely evocative part of our shared social heritage but some of the most architecturally innovative constructions of the past century – as seen here in buildings by architects including Edwin Lutyens, Walter Tapper, John Burnet and Zaha Hadid.
  The twentieth century saw a rapid expansion in the public provision for sports and leisure as workers won the right to paid holiday, prompting a boom in the construction of municipal lidos, pools and sports grounds. Later in the century leisure centres brought together facilities for a whole range of sports with an emphasis on family fun, combining environmentally controlled environments with soaring engineering and playful pop imagery. Space-age geodesic domes, diamond-glazed pyramids, castellated forts, brutalist elephants and Moorish postmodern palaces are just a few of the highlights of this idiosyncratic genre showcased here.
  Expert essays on particular building types, including Alan Powers on lidos and Simon Inglis on sports stadiums, give further context to these spaces. Also included is an introduction with a strong campaigning element – with the decimation of local authority budgets forcing the closure of many centres and pools, this is a timely exploration that provides a crucial record of this key part of our cultural heritage.

  In recent decades, technology has become a defining force in the development and transformation of cities. From the industrial revolution to the rise of the internet, technological advancements have continually reshaped urban life, making cities hubs of innovation, connectivity, and economic growth. Today, as cities face growing populations, climate change, and resource constraints, technology plays a central role in addressing these challenges while also opening new possibilities for urban living. The integration of digital technologies, automation, and data analytics is driving what we now recognize as the emergence of "smart cities," where every aspect of urban life is enhanced by technology. These advancements not only improve efficiency but also offer the potential to foster more sustainable, livable, and equitable urban environments. 
  The influence of technology in cities extends across various domains, including infrastructure, transportation, healthcare, and governance. In terms of urban infrastructure, cities are adopting digital systems for managing everything from electricity grids to water distribution, allowing for more responsive and efficient service delivery. Transportation has also undergone a transformation with the introduction of autonomous vehicles, electric cars, and new mobility services like ride-sharing, reshaping how people move within cities and reducing the environmental impact of urban travel. Similarly, the integration of sensors and Internet of Things (IoT) devices enables real-time data collection that informs city management, improving everything from traffic flow to waste management.
