secret, rights. A knowledge of something which is unknown to others, out of which a profit may be made; for example, an invention of a machine, or the discovery of the effect of the combination of certain matters. 2. Instances have occurred of secrets of that kind being kept for many years, but they are liable to constant detection. As such secrets are not property, the possessors of them in general prefer making them public, and securing the exclusive right for years, under the patent laws, to keeping them in an insecure manner, without them.

Unshaken - Secret
Verse 1:
Laying on her bed, a gasp in every breath
The people that surround her speak of what she meant
Voices slowly fading, her Maker she would meet
Eternity was waiting, her soul would be complete
Chorus:
She would hear Him say
He would say, €?Well done, good and faithful one€? (2x)
Verse 2:
The presence that consumed her made her soul to fly
When Jesus called her name out holding up the Book of Life
The war was finally over, the race is now complete
The treasure that she stored up is now laying at His feet
Bridge:
His will for her she carried out as she went through life unseen
And all the heavens talk about how this servant lived a dream
The hope that someone gave to her made her realize
The secret to her happiness was the giving of her life
The Benjamin Gate - Secret
A dream grows
Can You kiss it with You lips
A life flows
Can You kiss it with Your lips
(Chorus:)
Oh, hold me and heal me
Keep my heart in Your hands
Oh, hold me and heal me
Keep my heart in Your hands
My heart fades
Can You kiss me with Your lips
My life shades
Can You kiss me with Your lips
(Chorus)
The Nixons - Secret
In my secret you are here
With eyes that know the truth
With eyes that understand
Reality is sadness
Daggers of my ignorance
Piercing any heart
The only place I'm not alone
In my secret
You smile
Softly speak my name
With whispers they don't hear
Outside my make believe
Stand towers of envy
For the arms that hold you now
The only place I'm not alone
Is in my secret
My secret
The words are like the breeze
Flowing softly to your heart
Reality is silence
The words are locked inside
And only I know
That someday he will learn
The only place I'm not alone
In my secret
Keep this secret
Welcome to my secret
Secret
Keep this secret
Secret
In my
Keep this secret
Audio Adrenaline - Secret
I once was lost in a foaming, roaming, rabid sea
then blooms blossomed, changed my outlook
now I've been set free
I once was sinking in a quarry of quicksand
somebody noticed and they offered me a hand
I want to tell it, I want to say it, I want to show it,
want you to know it
I've got a secret
and I cannot keep it
I've got a secret
and I cannot keep it
There is a God and He's alive and He treats me well
that is the secret Mrs. Mademoiselle
I want to tell it, I want to say it, I want to show it,
I want you to know it
I've got a secret to the universe
Until you hear it you can't know what it's worth
OMD - Secret
I got a secret and I can¡¯t explain
All the time, I¡¯ve waited for this day
All along I was never in doubt
I always knew it would never get out
There are things that I cannot tell
And there are things that you know damn well
This is getting very hard for me
I guess you¡¯d better just wait and see
This is all, this is all
You heard a message and the message was clear
All the time you wipe away that tear
And all I want is to hold your hand
To see the sun and walk the sand
You make me sad and you make me glad
My secret is this love
Is love, Is love
All my secret is this love
Everyday you¡¯re always there
You comfort me
And make me feel it¡¯s worth my while
And then I look around and you¡¯re not there
And everyday you say you care and I¡¯ll beware
This is all, this is all
I¡¯ve got a secret and I can¡¯t explain
All I want is to hold your hand
All along I was never in doubt
To see the sun and to walk the sand
Madonna - Secret
Things haven't been the same
Since you came into my life
You found a way to touch my soul
And I'm never, ever, ever gonna let it go
Bridge:
Happiness lies in your own hand
It took me much too long to understand
How it could be
Until you shared your secret with me
Chorus:
Mmm mmm (skip for the first two times)
Something's comin' over, mmm mmm
Something's comin' over, mmm mmm
Something's comin' over me
My baby's got a secret
You gave me back the paradise
That I thought I lost for good
You helped me find the reasons why
It took me by surprise that you understood
You knew all along
What I never wanted to say
Until I learned to love myself
I was never ever lovin' anybody else
(bridge)
(chorus, repeat)
(bridge)
(chorus, repeat)
Mmm mmm, my baby's got a secret
Mmm mmm, my baby's got a secret
Mmm mmm, my baby's got a secret for me
Mmm mmm, mmm mmm, mmm mmm
Missy Higgins - Secret
You were from the North, I was from the South
We were form opposite places, different towns
But I knew it was good and you knew it was too
So we moved together like a ball and chain
Minds becoming two halves of the same
It was real, but in shadows it grew
Cos you've got a secret don't ya babe?
I would've shouted loud and broken through
I would've given it all to belong to you
But there were different plans, different rules
You said "where I'm from there is a lock and key
If you'd be so kind as to follow me
I will show you the way to the rest of my sins"
Cos you've got a secret don't ya babe?
Yeah you, you got a secret don't ya babe?
And I should know
Yeah I should know
So this room was damp where your sins laid
There was that smell in the air of an old place
That hadn't seen much daylight in years
And you threw me down, said, "If ya don't mind
I'm gonna leave you here until night time
Then we can do what we want my baby out of the spotlight."
Cos you've got a secret don't ya babe?
Yeah you, you got a secret don't ya babe?
And I should know
Yeah I should know
For I'm your secret aren't I babe?
Yeah I'm your secret aren't I babe?
Aren't I babe?
Maroon 5 - Secret
Watch the sunrise
Say your goodbyes
Off we go
Some conversation
No contemplation
Hit the road
Car overheats
Jump out of my seat
On the side of the highway baby
Our road is long
Your hold is strong
Please don't ever let go Oh No
I know I don't know you
But I want you so bad
Everyone has a secret
But can they keep it
Oh No they can't
Driving fast now
Don't think I know how to go slow
Where you at now
I feel around
There you are
Cool these engines
Calm these jets
I ask you how hot can it get
And as you wipe of beads of sweat
Slowly you say "I'm not there yet!"
Lefty - Secret
said she has a secret in her pocket
i don't think she's ever gonna show nobody else
bet she has a secret hidden in her past
i don't think she's ever gonna pull it off the shelf
and no one knows why she keeps it to herself
and she wishes she was someone else
said she hears voices screaming in her head
i don't think their demons but there's really nothing else
said she hates her mom but i think it should be dad
i don't think she's ever gonna figure it out
nobody knows her
said she has a secret in her pocket
i don't think she's ever gonna show nobody else
said she hears voices screaming in her head
I don't think she's ever gonna let them out
nobody knows her
she wishes she was someone else
Natasha Thomas - Secret
Written: Andy Love/Jos Jorgensen/Terri Walker
When I see you
I see you naked
When you're near me the tension's hard to bear
Infatuated, no doubt about it
Think there might be somethin' in the air
So we got this situation
Let's fall into temptation
Are you with it do you wanna hit it
Baby if you wanna play it then let me hear you say it
Don't repeat it
We gotta keep it secret
If you wanna taste
Don't talk about it
Keep it on the low
Just hush your mouth don't scream and shout it
Get into the flow
Nobody has to know
No no no no
I wanna touch you it's so frustrating
Wanna hold you and never let you go
When our eyes meet I'm intoxicated
I can feel my body overflow
Baby baby
Is there somethin' there for me
Baby won't you come and rescue me
This is somethin' only we should share
No Use For A Name - Secret
Father works the late shift, mother drinks
herself to sleep
brother's outside fiending with a match
and gasoline
They told her lies and gave her no hope
for tomorrow
and all the fairy tales just fade away
the brightest day of all, the one that
she's been needing
turns to gray
The boyfriend calls her crazy, teacher
bores us all to sleep
and friends are in the bathroom
speaking just like enemies
Nobody understands her heart that's left
there bleeding
the dirty secret living in her mind
they'll always tell you that you lit the fire
you're feeding, left behind
Always there to make you think that
you're no good
there's nothing wrong with what
you've done
they just wanna lift you up and throw
you down
and make you stop when all you
wanna do is run
Nobody understands the shame that
you've been feeling
the dirty secret living in her heart
it must be hard to put the pieces back
together, torn apart
Howie Day - Secret
It's your secret
Why would you tell it to me?
It's your lover on the television
Scream why would you not try to be?
Why would you not try to see?
It's about your blue hair
I want to stay the night with you
You got the beamiest face
Car turns right I'm into you
Right from wrong is not quite seen
Right from wrong is it everything?
It's your secret
It's your secret
Tell it to me
Tell it to me
Don't want to step on the cracks
The feeling is we didn't
You got the beamiest face
Car turns left I'm into you
Taking sleepy pills for rest
Anxious love gets so obsessed
It's your love affair
On a quiet sunday afternoon
And your speedy pills
You should know i'm into you
Why would you not try to be?
Why would you not try to see?
Greeley Estates - Secret
For the first time, I saw inside of you
And somewhere within you, lies the whole truth
It's time, to let go, to let go
Your secret is safe with me
Cause my lips are sealed
Far from the lies they talk to you
For all the times when you felt abandoned
I want you to know that you're not alone
And now this weight has been lifted from you
Your secret is safe with me
Cause my lips are sealed
Far from the lies they talk to you
And now that you let me in
In on your secret
The sound of silence will soon fade away
You're not alone
I want to be the one that you can count on
And i want to be someone that you can trust
And i'l keep my word, i made a promise to you
For what it's worth, i've always stood by your side
Your secret is safe with me
Cause my lips are sealed
Far from the lies they talk to you
And now that you let me in
In on your secret
The sound of silence will soon fade away
You're not alone
For the first time i saw inside of you
Heart - Secret
We lead two different lives
Just like two lines that never cross
And here we are together
Standing closer than we are
But we're still standing here untouched
Too scared to make a move
We want so much to touch
And we can't wait forever
We know it's dangerous
For us to be together
How do we ever keep this secret
How do we keep it in the dark
And if we dare to taste our weakness
How could we tear ourselves apart
Why do we keep this love together
Didn't we know right from the start
That we would have to keep this secret
Or forever stay apart
I watch you coming to me
Walking in the pouring rain
I can't help looking at you
Wishing I could stay away
So many times I've tried in vain
To close my eyes and pray it goes away
But I can't stop myself from feeling
To let you go would be too much
For me to take
How do we ever keep this secret
How do we deep it in the dark
And if we dare to taste our weakness
How could we tear ourselves apart
Why do we keep this love together
Didn't we know right from the start
That we would have to keep this secret
Or forever stay apart
I can't help thinking
When I look into your eyes
How much I need you
It's so hard to hide
How do we ever keep this secret
How do we keep it in the dark
And if we dare to taste our weakness
How could we tear ourselves apart
Why do we keep this love together
Didn't we know right from the start
That we would have to keep this secret
or forever stay apart.
Reba McEntire - Secret
(Lisa Brokop/Cyril Rawson/Ron Harbin)
She's quiet this morning she can't say why
Sends her husband off to work with a kiss goodbye
Unlocks that old diary turns to the third of May
Adds another tear to the page
And it's lonely being the only one who knows the truth
She has a secret that she can never tell
One wrong decision still puts her heart through hell
Does he miss her does he forgive her
The love that they shared will always be a secret
Only she knows she still loves him and she hates the choice she made
Wishes she could find him tell him why she walked away
Every day gets harder livin' with herself
But she knew he's be better of raised by someone else
God,it's lonely being the only one who knows the truth
She has a secret that she can never tell
One wrong decision still puts her heart through hell
Does he miss her does he forgive her
The love that they shared will always be a secret
She unlocks that old diary turns to the third of May
Adds another tear to the page

The Veronicas - Secret
You're a little obsessed with me
And I'm a little bit scared of you
The way you look and stare at me
Maybe it's time I let you know
You could call me six times but still I won't pick up the phone
You could spend all your money on me
but still I'll say no
You could write a million letters everyday confessing to me
That I am the girl of your dreams
But nobody ever asked me
I never looked at you that way
'Cause I always thought you were gay
Every time you come around
You just look me up and down
And then you try to hold my hand
I'm confused now I don't understand
You could call me six times but still I won't pick up the phone
You could spend all your money on me
but still I'll say no
You could write a million letters everyday confessing to me
That I am the girl of your dreams
But nobody ever asked me
I never looked at you that way
'Cause I always thought you were gay
You told me lies
You made me believe
It would be fine
If there was nothing to see
I'd be undressing in front of you
I told you secrets that no one else knew
You could call me six times but still I won't pick up the phone
You could spend all your money on me
but still I'll say no
You could write a million letters everyday confessing to me
That I am the girl of your dreams
But nobody ever asked me
I never looked at you that way
'Cause I always thought you were gay
Luis Fonsi - Secret
Oh, ooooh ,hey
I wanna be that guy who can say “you're mine”
We were standing in the movie line
I wanna pick you out of a crowd
Shout it out so loud
So everyone hears me
And I would tell all the world
But if you decide that's not what you like
If you wanna keep this quiet, then baby
I'll be your secret
Promise you'll keep it
And I'll be your friend
Whenever you need it
Cause when I'm holding you tonight
You'll know our secret is right, so right
[If you want I'll be your secret, I'll be your secret]
Sometimes I feel like tearing down these walls
That keep us trapped inside
I wanna take away their doubt
Show what I'm about
So they can ignore me
I wanna hold you tonight
But no, no , no, no
That's not what they're like
No they wanna keep us quiet
So I'll be,
I'll be your secret
Promise you'll keep it
And I'll be your friend
Whenever you need it
Cause when I'm holding you tonight
You'll know our secret is right, so right
Don't let them tell you how to be
Just open up your eyes and see
That you belong to me (that you belong to me baby)
Why should we care what people say? (Why should we care?)
Why should we let them stand in our way? (Stand in our way)
We don't have to be afraid
I'll be your secret
Promise you'll keep it
And I'll be your friend
Whenever you need it
I'll be your secret
Promise you'll keep it (promise you'll keep it)
And I'll be your friend
Whenever you need it

Leaves' Eyes - Secret
I openened my eyes
And greeted the new day
I follow your path way
To the secret of my pains
Can you free me
From these unsafe grounds
Secret tell me where did she drown
I'm moving away
But captured in your chains
I saw you in those waves
Those eyes, such pain
My heart knows
My mind knows
I am torn
My mind knows
When you're gone
I'm forelorn

Secret
Do you see her?
She is here ¨C it's you friend
Wants to be by your side
When you feel so bad
'Cause he told you
That he's gonna leave all behind
All the love you had
Makes you feel so sad
How it hurts
But now she's here to kiss you
As long as she keeps her little secret
As long as she plays a tricky game
As long as you feel her inner distance
She will never ease your pain
Why do you believe in what she tells you
As long as she fills you up with lies
You should fly ¨C leave it all behind you
Do you see her?
Do you see in her eyes
Something's wrong ¨C maybe gone
'Cause she came to play
Tellin' you ¨C he'll come back
Doin' all she can do
Just to make him stay
He is hers today
And you realize
'Cause she is here to kiss you
As long as she keeps her little secret
As long as she plays a tricky game
As long as you feel her inner distance
She will never ease your pain
Why do you believe in what she tells you
As long as she fills you up with lies
You should fly ¨C leave it all behind you

What is this place I find myself in?
Where we're all supposed
To think the same way
All I see is patience growing thin
While the people need someone
With something to say
In the garden of peace
All around me is dying
And the place where
My love grew is empty
At this moment in time
How can truth be a crime
I'll tell you if only you'll let me
I'll let you into a secret of mine
Like a delicate wine treat it gently
By setting free
All the love in your heart
Life will become what it was
Meant to be originally
With this memorized
Take your place by my side
And we'll ponder
The joys of tomorrow
Only in love can we
Live with our pride
For in love lies
No reason for sorrow

The self-destructive, self-loathing, nihilistic drivel that poses as popular culture and modern society is like a ball and chain to humanity's innate desire to realize its true potential. In the video above, Alex Jones explains how the people in control of our planet are wantonly hurting the course of human development and sacrificing the very legacy of our species in order to satisfy their own meaningless, myopic lust for transitory power. A small group of inbred, unhappy, twisted and wicked people have committed to dominating and enslaving the population of the planet instead of serving humanity as pioneers in leading our species on to its destiny of greatness. Humanity can only dream of the potential it possesses in reaching out for the stars while we are being held back and turned away from our destiny by globalists. While the human race is being demonized as a virus or a cancer upon the planet, in reality it is our controllers who are the true cancer because they are creating the environment for mankind's destruction. The ultimate sin committed by the technocrats against the world population is their attempt to shutter our doors of perception and put a halt to the charge of human progress, freedom, and spiritual enlightenment. If we are to survive and thrive as a species we must untangle our minds from the trap that has been laid for us by the technocrats and come to the understanding that they are the biggest threat mankind faces as a species. www.infowars.com www <b>...</b>

Secrecy (also called clandestinity or furtiveness) is the practice of hiding information from certain individuals or groups, perhaps while sharing it with other individuals. That which is kept hidden is known as the secret.
Secrecy is often controversial, depending on the content of the secret, the group or people keeping the secret, and the motivation for secrecy. Secrecy by government entities is often decried as excessive or in promotion of poor operation; excessive revelation of information on individuals can conflict with virtues of privacy and confidentiality.

Secrecy in sociology and zoology[link]
Main article: Sociological aspects of secrecy
Animals conceal the location of their den or nest from predators. Squirrels bury nuts, hiding them, and they try to remember their locations later.
Humans attempt to consciously conceal aspects of themselves from others due to shame, or from fear of violence, rejection, harassment, loss of acceptance, or loss of employment. Humans may also attempt to conceal aspects of their own self which they are not capable of incorporating psychologically into their conscious being. Families sometimes maintain "family secrets", obliging family members never to discuss disagreeable issues concerning the family with outsiders or sometimes even within the family. Many "family secrets" are maintained by using a mutually agreed-upon construct (an official family story) when speaking with outside members. Agreement to maintain the secret is often coerced through "shaming" and reference to family honor. The information may even be something as trivial as a recipe.
Keeping one's strategy secret is important in many aspects of game theory.
Secret sharing (anthropology)[link]
In anthropology secret sharing is one way for men and women to establish traditional relations with other men and women.[citation needed] A commonly used[citation needed] narrative that describes this kind of behavior is Joseph Conrad's short story "The Secret Sharer".
Government secrecy[link]
Governments often attempt to conceal information from other governments and the public. These state secrets can include weapon designs, military plans, diplomatic negotiation tactics, and secrets obtained illicitly from others ("intelligence"). Most nations have some form of Official Secrets Act (the Espionage Act in the U.S.) and classify material according to the level of protection needed (hence the term "classified information"). An individual needs a security clearance for access and other protection methods, such as keeping documents in a safe, are stipulated.
Few people dispute the desirability of keeping Critical Nuclear Weapon Design Information secret, but many believe government secrecy to be excessive and too often employed for political purposes. Many countries have laws that attempt to limit government secrecy, such as the U.S. Freedom of Information Act and sunshine laws. Government officials sometimes leak information they are supposed to keep secret. (For a recent (2005) example, see Plame affair.)
Secrecy in elections is a growing issue, particularly secrecy of vote counts on computerized vote counting machines. While voting, citizens are acting in a unique sovereign or "owner" capacity (instead of being a subject of the laws, as is true outside of elections) in selecting their government servants. It is argued that secrecy is impermissible as against the public in the area of elections where the government gets all of its power and taxing authority. In any event, permissible secrecy varies significantly with the context involved.
Corporate security[link]
Organizations, ranging from multi-national for profit corporations to nonprofit charities, keep secrets for competitive advantage, to meet legal requirements, or, in some cases, to conceal nefarious behavior. New products under development, unique manufacturing techniques, or simply lists of customers are types of information protected by trade secret laws. The patent system encourages inventors to publish information in exchange for a limited time monopoly on its use, though patent applications are initially secret. Secret societies use secrecy as a way to attract members by creating a sense of importance.
Other laws require organizations to keep certain information secret, such as medical records (HIPAA in the U.S.), or financial reports that are under preparation (to limit insider trading). Europe has particularly strict laws about database privacy.
In many countries, neoliberal reforms of government have included expanding the outsourcing of government tasks and functions to private businesses with the aim of improving efficiency and effectiveness in government administration. However, among the criticisms of these reforms is the claim that the pervasive use of "Commercial-in-confidence" (or secrecy) clauses in contracts between government and private providers further limits public accountability of governments and prevents proper public scrutiny of the performance and probity of the private companies. Concerns have been raised that 'commercial-in-confidence' is open to abuse because it can be deliberately used to hide corporate or government maladministration and even corruption. A string of publicly scandalous revelations about poor, wasteful or corrupt management of government-funded private contracts left unchecked for lengthy periods, often in prison management,[citation needed] has added credence to the views of skeptics about the prudency of the neoliberal reforms themselves.
Technology secrecy[link]
Preservation of secrets is one of the goals of information security. Techniques used include physical security and cryptography. The latter depends on the secrecy of cryptographic keys. Secrecy is central to organized crime. Many believe that security technology can be more effective if it itself is not kept secret.
Information hiding is a design principle in much software engineering. It is considered easier to verify software reliability if one can be sure that different parts of the program can only access (and therefore depend on) a known limited amount of information.
Military secrecy[link]
See also: Military intelligence and born secret
A military secret is secret information that is purposely not made available to the general public and hence to any enemy, by the military in order to gain an advantage or to not reveal a weakness, avoid embarrassment or to help in propaganda efforts.
Most military secrets are military in nature, such as the strengths and weaknesses of weapons systems, tactics, training methods, number and location of specific weapons and plans.
Some involve information in broader areas, such as secure communications, cryptography, intelligence operations and cooperation with third-parties.
Views on secrecy[link]
 |
Wikiquote has a collection of quotations related to: Secrets |
Excessive secrecy is often cited[citation needed] as a source of much human conflict. One may have to lie in order to hold a secret, which might lead to psychological repercussions.[original research?] The alternative, declining to answer when asked something, may suggest the answer and may therefore not always be suitable for keeping a secret. Also, the other may insist that one answer the question.[improper synthesis?] Nearly 2500 years ago, Sophocles wrote, "Do nothing secretly; for Time sees and hears all things, and discloses all." And Gautama Siddhartha, the Buddha, once said "Three things cannot long stay hidden: the sun, the moon and the truth".

Heidi Samuel Klum (born June 1, 1973),[2] better known by her birth name Heidi Klum,[3] is a German and American model, actress, television host, businesswoman, fashion designer, television producer, and occasional singer. In 2008 she became an American citizen while maintaining her native German citizenship.[4][5][6][7] In January 2012, Klum separated from her husband, British musician Seal and filed for divorce on April 6, 2012.[8]

Early life and discovery[link]
Klum was born and raised in Bergisch Gladbach, a town outside Cologne. She is the daughter of Erna, a hairdresser, and Günther Klum, a cosmetics-company executive. A friend convinced her to enroll in a national modeling contest called "Model 92".[9] Out of 25,000 contestants, Klum was voted the winner on April 29, 1992 and offered a modeling contract worth US$300,000 by Thomas Zeumer, CEO of Metropolitan Models New York.[10] After winning, she appeared on the Gottschalk Late Night Show, a top German television show with host Thomas Gottschalk. She accepted the contract a few months later after graduating from school and decided not to try for an apprentice position at a fashion design school.[11]
Career[link]
Acting and modeling[link]
Klum is the current host of Project Runway, filmed at the Parsons The New School for Design. She has been featured on the covers of Vogue, Elle, and Marie Claire, and became widely known after appearing on the cover of the Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue and for her work with Victoria's Secret as an "Angel".[12] Klum has hosted the 2002, 2006, 2007 and 2009 Victoria's Secret Fashion Shows. On October 1, 2010, the New York Post reported in its "Page Six" gossip column that Heidi Klum would be leaving Victoria's Secret, which was later confirmed by Klum.[13]
In addition to working with well-known photographers on her first husband's Sports Illustrated shoots, she was the object and subject of Joanne Gair body painting works in several editions from 1997 to 2010. She wrote the foreword to Gair's book of body paint work, Body Painting, Masterpieces.[14] She was a spokesmodel for McDonald's, Braun, Dannon, H & M, and Liz Claiborne, among others. She is currently a celebrity spokesmodel for Jordache[15] and Volkswagen. In addition to modeling, she has appeared in several TV shows, including Spin City, Sex and the City, Yes, Dear, and How I Met Your Mother. She had a role as an ill-tempered hair model in the movie Blow Dry, played a giantess in the movie Ella Enchanted and was cast as Ursula Andress in The Life and Death of Peter Sellers. She had cameo appearances in The Devil Wears Prada and Perfect Stranger.
Her other projects include dance and video games. She is featured in the 2006 James Bond video game Everything or Nothing, wherein she plays the villain Dr. Katya Nadanova.[16] She has appeared in several music videos, including Jamiroquai's video "Love Foolosophy" from their album A Funk Odyssey, Kelis's "Young, Fresh n' New", off her second 2001 album Wanderland and, most recently, the second video for her husband Seal's song "Secret" off his 2010 album Seal 6: Commitment. The latter video depicts the married couple sharing intimate moments while naked in bed; the concept was Klum's idea.[17]
In July 2007, having earned $8 million in the previous 16 months, Klum was named by Forbes as third on the list of the World's 15 Top-Earning Supermodels.[18] In 2008, Forbes estimated her income at $18 million, putting Klum in first place. For 2007, Forbes estimated her income at $16 million.[19] Klum is signed to IMG Models in New York City.[20]
In 2008, Klum was a featured guest on an American Volkswagen commercial, where she was interviewed by a black Beetle. When she commented that German engineering is so sexy, she caused the Beetle to blush and turn red. She has been a part of several commercials for Volkswagen and McDonald's on German television.[citation needed]
In November 2008, Klum appeared in two versions of a Guitar Hero World Tour commercial, wherein she did a take on Tom Cruise's iconic underwear dancing scene in Risky Business. In both versions, she lip-synced to Bob Seger's "Old Time Rock and Roll" while dancing around the living room with the wireless guitar controller.[21]
In October 2009, Klum was the often-nude one-woman subject of Heidilicious,[22] a photo book by photographer Ian Rankin. Klum ventured into web-based videos, starring in "SPIKED HEEL: Supermodels Battle the Forces of Evil". The web-series starred model Coco Rocha and was directed by fashion documentarian Doug Keeve. In the story, Klum aka 'The Kluminator,'[23] and her stylish sidekick Coco "The Sassy Superhero" Rocha battle the evil Dr. Faux Pas who is plotting to destroy Fashion Week. The heroines employ everything from blow-dryer guns to fist fights, in order to thwart Dr. Faux Pas' dastardly plans. The Kluminator and Girl Wonder avoid a chain of fashion disasters to neutralize a death ray that threatens to vaporize the community of fashionistas gathered in Bryant Park.[24]
In 2010, Klum became the new face and creative advisor for European cosmetics brand Astor, for which she sets artistic direction and designs new products and fashion forward color collections.[25]
In October 2010, Klum parted ways with Victoria's Secret after 13 years of working with the brand. She provided a simple explanation in her official statement, stating: "All good things have to come to an end. I will always love Victoria and never tell her secret. It's been an absolute amazing time!"[26]
It was reported in May 2011 that Klum trails far behind Gisele Bündchen at No. 2 with estimated earnings of $20 million on Forbes' list of the World's Top-Earning Models (2010-2011). Forbes noted that since ending her 13-year run as a Victoria's Secret Angel, Klum has become more of a businesswoman than a model. She's partnered with New Balance and Amazon.com to launch a clothing line and signed a 20-episode deal to host a new show on Lifetime, called Seriously Funny Kids.[27] In fact, some noted fashion designers have long been commenting on Klum's limited role as a fashion model. Karl Lagerfeld, for example, in 2009 agreed with German designer Wolfgang Joop, who called Klum after she had posed naked on the cover of the German edition of GQ magazine,[28] "no runway model. She is simply too heavy and has too big a bust".[29] Lagerfeld observed that neither he nor Claudia Schiffer knew Klum, as she has never worked in Paris and was insignificant in the world of fashion, being "more bling bling and glamorous than current fashion."[30]
Producing[link]
In December 2004, Klum became the host, judge and executive producer of the reality show Project Runway on the U.S. cable television channel Bravo (airing on Lifetime television beginning in 2009), in which fashion designers compete for the opportunity to show their line at New York Fashion Week and receive money to launch their own fashion line. She received an Emmy Award nomination for the show for each of the first four seasons.[31][32] In 2008, Klum and Project Runway received a Peabody Award, the first time a reality show won the award.[33] Klum was nominated for an Emmy in 2008 for "outstanding host of a reality or reality-competition show" for Project Runway, the first year that category was recognized by the Emmys.[32]
Klum has been the host, judge and co-producer of Germany's Next Topmodel, the German version of the internationally successful reality television show, since 2006. All five seasons aired on the German TV station ProSieben.
Design and other business ventures[link]
Klum designed clothing lines (one for men), featured in the German mail-order catalog "Otto". She designed shoes for Birkenstock, jewelry for Mouawad, a clothing line for Jordache, and swimsuits – featured in the 2002 Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue.[citation needed] She was one of the designers of the Victoria's Secret lingerie line "The Body", named after the nickname she received following her first Victoria's Secret Fashion Show appearance.[34] Her Mouawad jewelry collection debuted on the cable shopping network QVC on September 14, 2006, and 14 of the 16 styles sold out after 36 minutes.[35] Klum's clothing line for Jordache launched on April 30, 2008.[36]
Klum has two fragrances, called "Heidi Klum" and "Me". She designed makeup for Victoria's Secret as part of their "Very Sexy Makeup Collection", titled "The Heidi Klum Collection". The first run debuted in Fall 2007. A second run was released in Fall 2008.[37]
Klum was involved in the development of a namesake rose, the Heidi Klum rose,[38][39] which is available in Germany.
For the 2008 US Open, Klum designed a screen print t-shirt which was sold at the US Open shop. It featured child-like butterfly pictures. Proceeds will go to a non-profit organization maintaining the park, which is home to the US Open.[citation needed]
Heidi became Barbie's official ambassador for the doll's 50th anniversary in 2009, even having made a Barbie doll out of herself.[40] On April 1 that same year, she appeared on the CBS television special, I Get That a Lot, as a girl working at a pizza shop.[citation needed] That same year, she appeared in advertising for Dannon's Light & Fit brand.[citation needed]
Klum and husband Seal announced in June 2010 that they will be making a reality series on Lifetime titled Love's Divine (after Seal's song of the same name.)[41]
In January 2010, Klum launched two lines of maternity wear: Lavish by Heidi Klum for A Pea in the Pod, and Loved by Heidi Klum for Motherhood Maternity. Klum stated, "I experienced fashion challenges during my four pregnancies and combined my knowledge of what works in terms of style, comfort and practicality to create these lines".[42]
In October 2010, Klum with New Balance, HKNB, launched a line of active woman's wear fashion clothing on Amazon.com.[citation needed]
Klum is a "Real Celebrity" on the website Stardoll, where she has a line of virtual jewelry, and a virtual clothing line called Jordache. Users can go to Klum's suite (address) and interact with her by doing interviews, sending pending requests or dressing Klum's doll.[citation needed]
Other work[link]
Klum is an artist, and had several of her paintings appear in various art magazines in the U.S. On September 27, 2002 she dedicated a sculpture she painted called "Dog with Butterflies" to commemorate the role of rescue dogs in the aftermath of September 11.[43]
In 2004, Klum co-authored Heidi Klum's Body of Knowledge with Elle magazine editor Alexandra Postman. The book gives Klum's biography as well as her advice on becoming successful. Prior to that, Klum had been an occasional guest columnist for the German television network RTL's website. She wrote an essay for the German newspaper Die Zeit.[44]
In November 2006, Klum released her debut single "Wonderland", written for a series of television advertisements for the German retailer "Douglas". Proceeds were given to a children's charity in her hometown of Bergisch Gladbach.[citation needed] She contributed to her husband Seal's 2007 album System, singing the duet "Wedding Day", a song that Seal wrote for their wedding.[45]
Personal life[link]
In 1997, Klum married stylist Ric Pipino; the couple divorced in 2002.[46]
She began a relationship with 53 year old Flavio Briatore (the managing director of Renault's Formula One team)[47] in 2003. The following year, Klum publicly announced her pregnancy. She gave birth to their first child, Helene Boshoven "Leni" Klum, on May 4, 2004 in New York City.[48]
In early 2004, while still pregnant, Klum began a relationship with musician Seal.[49] Seal was present for Leni's birth and Klum has stated emphatically that "Seal is Leni's father".[50]
Klum and Seal became engaged in December 2004 on a glacier in Whistler, British Columbia[51] and married on May 10, 2005 on a beach in Mexico.[52] They have three biological children together: sons Henry Gunther Ademola Dashtu Samuel (born September 12, 2005)[53] and Johan Riley Fyodor Taiwo Samuel (born November 22, 2006),[54] and daughter Lou Sulola Samuel (born October 9, 2009).[55] On November 21, 2009, Klum officially adopted Seal's surname and became legally known as Heidi Samuel.[56] Soon after, in December 2009, Seal officially adopted Leni, and her last name was changed to Samuel.[57] During their marriage, Klum and Seal renewed their vows to one another each year on their anniversary in front of family and friends.[58] On January 22, 2012, the couple announced that they were separating after almost seven years of marriage.[59][60][61] She filed for divorce three months later on April 6, 2012. She also requested that her name be restored to her birth name of Heidi Klum.[62]
Philanthropy[link]
Klum spends time at Children's Hospital Los Angeles visiting patients.[63] On April 30, 2011, Klum led Walk for Kids, a community 5k to raise funds as part of the hospital's community awareness efforts.[64]
Legal issues[link]
An unemployed Chemnitz butcher who used Klum's picture in advertising for a local dance on a flyer and a web page, contested her subsequent takedown notice in court and lost, forcing him to pay court costs of €2,300. German actress Jenny Elvers Elbertzhagen has pledged to pay on his behalf.[65][66]

David Khari Webber "Dave" Chappelle[4] (/ʃəˈpɛl/; born August 24, 1973)[1] is an American comedian, screenwriter, television/film producer, actor, and artist. Chappelle began his film career in the film Robin Hood: Men in Tights in 1993 and continued to star in minor roles in the films The Nutty Professor, Con Air, and Blue Streak. His first lead role in a film was in Half Baked in 1998. In 2003, he became widely known for his popular sketch comedy television series, Chappelle's Show, which ran until his abrupt retirement from the show in 2005. Chappelle is ranked forty-third in Comedy Central Presents: 100 Greatest Stand-Ups of All Time.[5]

Early life[link]
Chappelle was born David Khari Webber Chappelle in Washington, D.C. on August 24, 1973.[1][2] His father, William David Chappelle III, was a professor at Antioch College in Yellow Springs, Ohio.[2] His mother, Yvonne (née Reed), was a professor at Howard University, Prince George's Community College, and the University of Maryland and is also a Unitarian Universalist minister.[6][7][8] Chappelle grew up in Silver Spring, Maryland and attended Woodlin Elementary School.[2] During young Chappelle's formative years, his comic inspiration came from various comedians, particularly Eddie Murphy and Richard Pryor.[2]
After his parents separated, Chappelle stayed in Washington with his mother while spending summers with his father in Ohio. In 1991, he graduated from Washington's Duke Ellington School of the Arts where he studied theatre arts.[2]
Chappelle moved to New York City to pursue a career as a comedian. He gathered the courage to perform at Harlem's famed Apollo Theater in front of the infamous "Amateur Night" audience. The performance resulted in him being booed off the stage. Chappelle has described the experience as the moment that gave him the courage to continue his show business aspirations.[2] He quickly made a name for himself in the New York comedy circuit, even performing in the city's parks. At the age of 19, Chappelle made his film debut as "Ahchoo" in Mel Brooks' Robin Hood: Men in Tights. In the same year, Chappelle was offered the role of Benjamin Buford "Bubba" Blue in Forrest Gump. Concerned about what seemed to be a racially demeaning character, he turned down the part; the film would go on to win Academy Award for Best Picture that year. He has since admitted to regretting the decision.[9] Chappelle played another supporting movie role in 1994's little-seen Getting In.
He attracted the attention of TV network executives and developed numerous pilots but none of them were picked up for series.[2][10] In 1995, he made a guest appearance in an episode of ABC's highly rated sitcom Home Improvement. The storyline had Chappelle and real-life friend comedian Jim Breuer ask Tim Taylor for advice on their girlfriends. The characters' single outing in the episode proved so popular that ABC decided to give them their own spin-off sitcom titled Buddies. However, after taping a pilot episode, Jim Breuer was fired and replaced with actor Christopher Gartin. Buddies premiered in March 1996 to disappointing ratings. The show was cancelled after only four episodes out of thirteen that were produced. Nine years later, in May 2005, ten of the episodes were released on a single-disc DVD to capitalize on Chappelle's new-found fame.
After the failure of Buddies, Chappelle starred in another pilot. According to Chappelle, the network was uncomfortable with the African-American cast and wanted white actors added. Chappelle resisted and subsequently accused the network of racism. Shortly after this incident, Chappelle's father died. Chappelle returned to Ohio and considered leaving the entertainment business.[2][10]
He later appeared as a nightclub comedian in the 1996 comedy The Nutty Professor starring Eddie Murphy, one of his major comedic influences. He also had a minor role in 1997's Con Air. He and Neal Brennan co-wrote the 1998 cult stoner film Half Baked, Chappelle's first starring role, about a group of marijuana-smoking friends trying to get their friend out of jail. That same year, he appeared in "Pilots and Pens Lost", a 1998 episode of The Larry Sanders Show's sixth season, in which he and the executives of the show's nameless television network satirized the treatment to which scriptwriters and show creators were subjected, as well as the executives' knee-jerk tendencies toward racial stereotypes. In December of that year Chappelle appeared as Tom Hanks' friend and confidant in You've Got Mail. In 1999, he appeared in the Martin Lawrence film Blue Streak.
In 2000, Chappelle recorded his first HBO special, Dave Chappelle: Killin' Them Softly, in Washington, DC.[11] He followed this up with an appearance as "Conspiracy Brother" in the 2002 racial satire Undercover Brother.
[edit] 2003–2006: Standup and Chappelle's Show
Main article: Chappelle's Show
In 2003, Chappelle debuted his own weekly sketch comedy show on Comedy Central called Chappelle's Show. The show parodied many aspects of American culture including racial stereotypes, politics and pop culture. Along with comedy skits, the show also featured musical performances by mostly hip-hop and soul artists.
Chappelle's pointed social and political commentary quickly helped the show garner critical and commercial success as well as controversy.[10][12] Richard Pryor, one of Chappelle's comedic influences, was a fan of the show and stated that he had "passed the torch" to Chappelle.[10] Chappelle received two Emmy nominations for the show.[13] Additionally, the DVD set became the best-selling DVD of a television show to date, overtaking the previous best-selling, The Simpsons first season DVD. It had sold over 3 million copies.[14] Due to the show's popularity, Comedy Central's parent company Viacom reportedly offered Chappelle a $55 million contract (giving Chappelle a share of DVD sales) to continue production of Chappelle's Show for two more years while allowing him to do side projects. Chappelle had stated that sketches are not his favorite form of comedy, and that the characteristics of the show's format were somewhat like short films.
In June 2004, based on the popularity of the "Rick James" sketch, it was announced that Chappelle was in talks to portray Rick James in a biopic from Paramount Pictures (also owned by Viacom).[15] James's estate disagreed with the proposed comical tone of the film and put a halt to the talks.[16]
In 2004, Chappelle recorded his second comedy special, this time airing on Showtime - Dave Chappelle: For What It's Worth, at San Francisco's Fillmore Auditorium.[17]
Season three turbulence[link]
In a June 2004 stand-up performance in Sacramento, California, Chappelle walked off the stage after berating his audience for constantly shouting "I'm Rick James, bitch!," which became a catchphrase from the popular "Rick James" sketch. After a few minutes, Chappelle returned and continued by saying, "The show is ruining my life." He stated that he disliked working "20 hours a day" and that the popularity of the show was making it difficult for him to continue his stand-up career, which was "the most important thing" to him. He also told the audience:
You know why my show is good? Because the network officials say you're not smart enough to get what I'm doing, and every day I fight for you. I tell them how smart you are. Turns out, I was wrong. You people are stupid.[18]
Season 3 was scheduled to air on May 31, 2005, but in that month, Chappelle stunned fans and the entertainment industry when he abruptly left during production of the third season of Chappelle's Show and took a trip to South Africa. Chappelle has since stated that he was unhappy with the direction the show had taken.
Coming here I don't have the distractions of fame. It quiets the ego down. I'm interested in the kind of person I've got to become. I want to be well rounded and the industry is a place of extremes. I want to be well balanced. I've got to check my intentions, man.[19]
Return[link]
In June 2005, Chappelle performed impromptu stand-up shows in Los Angeles.[20][21][22] He then went on a tour that began in Newport, Kentucky, not far from his Ohio home.[23] He also made a surprise appearance on HBO's Def Poetry where he performed two poems, titled Fuck Ashton Kutcher and How I Got the Lead on "Jeopardy!."[24] He was interviewed for Inside the Actors Studio on December 18, 2005 at Pace University's Michael Schimmel Center for the Arts. The show premiered on February 12, 2006.[25] Chappelle stated that the death of his father in 1998 had an impact on his decision to go to South Africa. By throwing himself into his work, he had not taken a chance to mourn his father's death. He also said the rumors that he was in drug or psychiatric treatment only persuaded him to stay in South Africa.[2]
He continued:
I would go to work on the show and I felt awful every day, that's not the way it was. ... I felt like some kind of prostitute or something. If I feel so bad, why keep on showing up to this place? I'm going to Africa. The hardest thing to do is to be true to yourself, especially when everybody is watching.
Chappelle also said that he felt some of his sketches were "socially irresponsible."[26][27] He singled out the "pixie sketch" in which pixies appear to people and encourage them to reinforce stereotypes of their races. In the sketch, Chappelle is wearing blackface and is dressed as a character in a minstrel show.[28] According to Chappelle, during the filming of the sketch, a crew member was laughing in a way that made him feel uncomfortable and made him rethink the show.[26][27] Chappelle said, "it was the first time I felt that someone was not laughing with me but laughing at me."[26]
During these interviews, Chappelle did not rule out returning to Chappelle's Show to "finish what we started," but promised that he would not return without changes to the production, such as a better working environment. He also stated he would like to donate half of the DVD sales to charity.[29] Chappelle expressed disdain at the possibility of his material from the unfinished third season being aired, saying that to do so would be "a bully move," and that he would not return to the show if Comedy Central were to air the unfinished material.[27] On July 9, 2006, Comedy Central aired the first episode of Chappelle's Show: The Lost Episodes. An uncensored DVD release of the episodes was made available on July 25.
The show still plays in syndication on several television networks despite the relatively small number of episodes compared to most American syndicated television programs.[citation needed]
[edit] Dave Chappelle's Block Party
Chappelle was the star and producer of the Michel Gondry-directed documentary Dave Chappelle's Block Party, which chronicles a Chappelle-hosted concert in the Clinton Hill neighborhood of Brooklyn on September 18, 2004. Several musical artists, including Kanye West, The Roots, Erykah Badu, Mos Def, Dead Prez and Jill Scott are featured in the movie both performing in the concert and in conversation off-stage. The most surprising highlight of the event was the "last minute" reunion of popular 1990s hip hop group The Fugees. Chappelle toured several cities in February and March 2006 to promote the film under the moniker "Block Party All-Stars featuring Dave Chappelle". Universal Pictures' genre division Rogue Pictures released the film in the United States on March 3, 2006.
2007–present[link]
In April 2007, Chappelle set a stand-up endurance record at the Laugh Factory Sunset Strip comedy club, beating comedian Dane Cook's record of 3 hours and 50 minutes. In December of the same year, Chappelle broke his own record with a time of 6 hours and 12 minutes. Cook reclaimed the record in January 2008, with a time of 7 hours.[30] On November 19, 2009 Chappelle performed at the Laugh Factory in Los Angeles, where it was speculated that he would aim to take back the record. However, he was disqualified according to the club owner, after he left the stage, five hours into his routine.[31]
Chappelle again appeared on Inside the Actors Studio and in celebration of the show's 200th episode, he humorously interviewed the show's usual host, James Lipton. The episode aired on November 11, 2008.
Personal life[link]
Chappelle lives with his wife Elaine, two sons,[28] Sulayman[32] and Ibrahim,[33] and daughter Sonal, on a 65-acre (260,000 m2) farm,[2][10] just outside Yellow Springs, Ohio.[23] He also owns several houses in Xenia, Ohio. Regarding his home in Yellow Springs, Ohio, Chappelle says, "Turns out you don't need $50 million to live around these parts, just a nice smile and a kind way about you. You guys are the best neighbors ever," he stated at a blues and jazz festival in the town in mid-September 2006. "That's why I came back and that's why I'm staying."[34]
Chappelle is a Muslim, having converted to Islam in 1998. He told Time Magazine in a May 2005 interview, "I don’t normally talk about my religion publicly because I don’t want people to associate me and my flaws with this beautiful thing. And I believe it is beautiful if you learn it the right way."[35]

Biography[link]
Childhood[link]
The Pierce sisters were born three years apart in Birmingham, Alabama. They traveled frequently and received home-schooling from their self-described hippie parents. Their father played the guitar in various bands, while their mother was a painter. Exposed to music and arts at an early age, the Pierce sisters grew up listening to Joni Mitchell and Simon & Garfunkel. As children, they were encouraged to explore their creative side and would perform at parties, weddings and churches. Allison started dancing at age three, and both sisters are accomplished ballerinas.
Musical career[link]
It was while they attended Auburn University that a friend sent a tape to a record company in Nashville. This eventually resulted in their debut album The Pierces (2000). It featured folk harmonies and adult alternative songs. In a 2004 interview, Allison Pierce commented that the album "sort of got lost in the shuffle".[1] Allmusic attributes the poor reception to "no label support".[2]
On August 10, 2005, their second album Light of the Moon was released through Universal. The album was produced by Brian Sperber and featured 11 tracks that the girls either wrote or co-wrote.[3]
On March 20, 2007, their third album Thirteen Tales of Love and Revenge was released in the U.S. Produced by Roger Greenawalt (Nils Lofgren, Radish, Ben Kweller), the album has been well-reviewed, particularly for the single "Boring", which parodies celebrity socialites. The album has a darker, edgier style, at times using such diverse instruments as an accordion, a calliope, bassoons, a sitar, violins, an autoharp, and a Hawaiian lap steel. It marks a definitive change in the direction of the band, which hitherto had been known as a folk rock band.[4]
In an interview with Rolling Stone, after they were featured as a Rolling Stone Breaking Artist, they revealed that this album "felt like [their] last chance". As a result, they "just went for it, had fun".[5]
On December 5, 2007, The Pierces appeared on the CW television series Gossip Girl, playing their songs "Secret" and "Three Wishes".
On August 21, 2008, "Secret" by The Pierces appeared in a promo for Showtime show Dexter.[6] In May 2009, Dutch TV channel NET 5 used "Secret" in a promo for their fantasy shows Charmed and Ghost Whisperer. It also appears as the theme song for the ABC Family's original TV series, based upon the series of books by Sara Shepard, Pretty Little Liars. Secret was also played over the closing credits in the movie "ExTerminators."
The duo appeared in The All-American Rejects' third album, When The World Comes Down, in the track, "Another Heart Calls". They performed the song live with The All-American Rejects in July 2009 at MySpace's The List in Dallas, Texas.
The single "Secret", is the theme song of the tv-series Pretty Little Liars, it was suggested by one of the stars of the show, Ashley Benson.
On October 23, 2010, the group appeared on Later... with Jools Holland. In December 2010, the sisters and their band toured with Lissie as her support act. They also performed live on ITV1 show Lorraine in March 2011 whilst promoting their new single "Glorious".
On May 30, 2011, their fourth and latest album You & I was released featuring their new singles "Love You More", "You'll Be Mine", "Glorious" and "It Will Not Be Forgotten" produced by darktones and released by Polydor Records. However, The Pierces only have a label currently in the UK and are therefore focusing on widening their popularity there, later working on their homeland the US.
They went on their first ever official tour through June 2011, with Delta Maid and Alice Gold as support: 7th June-The Pleasance (Edinburgh), 8th June-Rescue Rooms (Nottingham), 9th June-The Cockpit (Leeds), 11th June-The Ruby Lounge (Manchester), 12th June-HMV Institute (Birmingham), 13th June-Thekla (Bristol), 14th June-Bush Hall (London).
The Pierces played at the Glastonbury Festival in June 2011.
The Pierces supported Coldplay at the iTunes Festival in July 2011, which happened to be on Alison's 36th Birthday.
A second, much larger UK tour took place through October 2011, with Marcus Foster as support: 7th October-Leadmill (Sheffield), 8th October-02 ABC (Glasgow)(changed from the smaller venue Oran Mor due to high demand), 9th October-Academy 3 (Manchester), 11th October-Condorde 2 (Brighton), 12th October-Glee Club (Birmingham), 13th October-02 Shepherds Bush Empire (London), 15th October-Junction (Cambridge), 16th October-Waterfront (Norwich), 17th October-Glee Club (Cardiff), 19th October-02 Academy2 (Oxford), 20th October-Anson Rooms (Bristol), 21st October-Stanley Theatre (Liverpool).
On 11 September, 2011, the duo announced via Twitter that their next UK single from You & I will be "Kissing You Goodbye", due 23 October.
The Pierces will be supporting Coldplay once again for their upcoming North American tour in April-May 2012. They will be appearing at the Edmonton, Calgary, Vancouver, Portland, Seattle, San Jose and Los Angeles shows.

Humanity's Greatest Secret: Dreams of the Universe
TheAlexJonesChannel
Humanity's Greatest Secret: Dreams of the Universe
The self-destructive, self-loathing, nihilistic drivel that poses as popular culture and modern society is like a ball and chain to humanity's innate desire to realize its true potential. In the video above, Alex Jones explains how the people in control of our planet are wantonly hurting the course of human development and sacrificing the very legacy of our species in order to satisfy their own meaningless, myopic lust for transitory power. A small group of inbred, unhappy, twisted and wicked people have committed to dominating and enslaving the population of the planet instead of serving humanity as pioneers in leading our species on to its destiny of greatness. Humanity can only dream of the potential it possesses in reaching out for the stars while we are being held back and turned away from our destiny by globalists. While the human race is being demonized as a virus or a cancer upon the planet, in reality it is our controllers who are the true cancer because they are creating the environment for mankind's destruction. The ultimate sin committed by the technocrats against the world population is their attempt to shutter our doors of perception and put a halt to the charge of human progress, freedom, and spiritual enlightenment. If we are to survive and thrive as a species we must untangle our minds from the trap that has been laid for us by the technocrats and come to the understanding that they are the biggest threat mankind faces as a species. www.infowars.com www <b>...</b>

We loved it. It combined two of the things we are working to accomplish -- inviting people to classical music and inspiring young musicians. Steven Sharp Nelson had soloed with the orchestra the previous year and loved the spirit and the talent that the orchestra showed at such young ages (ages 13-18!) Together we developed the concept of "Beethoven's 5 Secrets," combining OneRepublic's tune "Secrets" with melodies and moments from all four movements of Beethoven's 5th Symphony. We used 5 different melodies from the 4 movements of Beethoven's 5th Symphony (not including the "bridge" the orchestra plays in the middle). Try to guess where they are and where they come from!
