Ieoh Ming Pei

 

    Born in 1917, Ieoh Ming Pei grew up in Canton, China. When he was seventeen, he went to the United States to learn about building. As it turned out, Pei became one of the most famous architects of the twentieth century.

    Pei is famous for his strong geometric forms. One of his most controversial projects was his glass pyramid at the Louvre in Paris. The old museum had a lot of problems, but no one wanted to destroy it. Pei had to __________ a solution. Many Parisians were shocked with his proposal for a 71-foot-high glass pyramid. It __________ anyway, blending with the environment. Today many people say that it is a good example of the principles of feng shui.

Memories

Maroon 5

 

Chorus:
Here’s to the ones that we got
Cheers to the wish you were here, but you’re not
‘Cause the drinks bring back all the memories
Of everything we’ve been through
Toast to the ones here today
Toast to the ones that we lost on the way
‘Cause the drinks bring back all the memories
And the memories bring back, memories bring back you
There’s a time that I remember, when I did not know no pain
When I believed in forever, and everything would stay the same
Now my heart feel like December when somebody say your name
‘Cause I can’t reach out to call you, but I know I will one day, yeah
Everybody hurts sometimes
Everybody hurts someday,
But everything gon’ be alright
Go and raise a glass and say,
Chorus
There’s a time that I remember when I never felt so lost
When I felt all of the hatred was too powerful to stop (ooh, yeah)
Now my heart feel like an ember and it’s lighting up the dark
I’ll carry these torches for ya that you know I’ll never drop, yeah
Everybody hurts sometimes
Everybody hurts someday,
But everything gon’ be alright
Go and raise a glass and say,
Chorus

‘Emily in Paris’ star says he partly understands why critics panned the ‘cliché’ Netflix show

 

    Despite being a huge hit for Netflix, critics across the board (particularly French critics) have slammed the show for indulging in outdated and offensive stereotypes that present Parisians as rude, sexist, and elitist.

    The main love interest in Netflix’s controversial comedy “Emily in Paris” said he partly understands why critics have panned the show. “I think they’re right in a way,” Lucas Bravo, who plays chef Gabriel in the show, said during an interview with Cosmopolitan.

    The 32-year-old French actor continued: “At some point, if you want to tell a story about Paris, you have to choose an angle. You have to choose a vision. French critics, they didn’t understand the fact that it’s just one vision. They’re like, ‘Oh, this is not what Paris is.’ Of course. Paris is many things.”
