Rebecca is a feminine given name originating from the Hebrew רִבְקָה (Rivkah). Its most likely meaning is "captivating". It may be Aramaic in origin, although this is contested. W.F. Albright held that it meant "soil", or "earth", and was the name of an earth-goddess.
Rebecca is an early Biblical spelling of the name. The Latin Vulgate (compiled in the 4th Century A.D.) was the version of the Bible that was used for centuries. The Latin Vulgate used the spelling Rebecca exclusively. Centuries later, when the Bible was translated into English (King James Version) in the 1600s, the spelling was changed to “Rebekah” for the Old Testament (Genesis), but the spelling “Rebecca” was retained in the New Testament (see Romans 9:10). So the older Biblical spelling is “Rebecca,” but both spellings (Rebecca and Rebekah) are used in the original English Bible.
In the United Kingdom, it made its way into the top 100 female names during the 1960s, the top 20 during the 1970s, and the top 10 during the 1980s, finally peaking as the most popular female name in 1995. However, it slid out of the top 10 in 2000 and by 2009 had fallen to 77th.
Sir Alfred Joseph Hitchcock, KBE (13 August 1899 – 29 April 1980) was an English film director and producer. He pioneered many techniques in the suspense and psychological thriller genres. After a successful career in British cinema in both silent films and early talkies, Hitchcock moved to Hollywood. On 19 April 1955, he became an American citizen while remaining a British subject.
Over a career spanning more than half a century, Hitchcock fashioned for himself a distinctive and recognisable directorial style. He pioneered the use of a camera made to move in a way that mimics a person's gaze, forcing viewers to engage in a form of voyeurism. He framed shots to maximise anxiety, fear, or empathy, and used innovative film editing. His stories frequently feature fugitives on the run from the law alongside "icy blonde" female characters. Many of Hitchcock's films have twist endings and thrilling plots featuring depictions of violence, murder, and crime, although many of the mysteries function as decoys or "MacGuffins" meant only to serve thematic elements in the film and the extremely complex psychological examinations of the characters. Hitchcock's films also borrow many themes from psychoanalysis and feature strong sexual undertones. Through his cameo appearances in his own films, interviews, film trailers, and the television program Alfred Hitchcock Presents, he became a cultural icon. Hitchocks reputation as a filmmaker is offset by claims that he engaged in obsessive and controlling behaviour towards many of his leading ladies, and that in some cases this extended to physical abuse and sexual harrassment.

Genres: ,Little black girl
This is a song for you
In case the world is busy
And forgets to sing to you
They've more important ships to sail
Like building malls and saving whales
So they don't see
That you're the real endangered species
Little black girl
Can't always believe what you see
It doesn't you're dumb
Just cuz no one smart looks like you on TV
That foul mouthed lady on the news
In her houseshoes and curlers isn't you
Nor an indication of what you should aspire to
Cuz it's a minor miracle just to make your graduation
When nowhere in your world is a hint of validation
This is not political, it's personal
My empathy runs deep
Cuz you see, it happened to me
So little black girl
This is a song for you
May not be too much
But it's the least I could do
Cuz when I look into your eyes
I see myself and that is why
I give you this and pray it saves you
From feeling like I did
