Us and Them
Us and Them chronicles the depth to which Canada and Canadians were part of The Beatles’ story—their formation, growth and break up. Entertaining and well researched, Us and Them places John, Paul, George and Ringo as a band and as solo artists in a uniquely Canadian setting; it blends rich stories, facts, analysis, and even dabbles in several plausible but little known accounts that create a new ripple in The Beatles’ history. After consuming Us and Them, readers will never again listen to albums Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band and the White Album, or singles “Come Together”, “Give Peace a Chance”, “All Things Must Pass”, “Imagine” and “Mull of Kintyre” without thinking about these masterworks in a Canadian context. Us and Them is a thorough account of the Fab Four's relationship with Canada, filling an important gap in their narrative and discography.
The Life and Masterworks of Salvador Dalí
Painter, designer, creator of bizarre objects, author and film maker, Dalí became the most famous of the Surrealists. Buñuel, Lorca, Picasso and Breton all had a great influence on his career. Dalí's film, An Andalusian Dog, produced with Buñuel, marked his official entry into the tightly-knit group of Parisian Surrealists, where he met Gala, the woman who became his lifelong companion and his source of inspiration. But his relationship soon deteriorated until his final rift with André Breton in 1939. Nevertheless Dalí's art remained surrealist in its philosophy and expression and a prime example of his freshness, humour and exploration of the subconscious mind. Throughout his life, Dalí was a genius at self-promotion, creating and maintaining his reputation as a mythical figure.
Milestones of Art: Salvador Dali: The Paranoia-Method
His whole life long the surrealistic painter Dali is obsessed to come to terms with three key moments of his childhood in Spain: 1. the fear that in his parents eyes he is only a rebirth of the dead first son, 2.

Dalí
This is an opportunity to reassess Dali’s work as a whole and to explore, in greater depth than ever before, his so-called ‘late work’ as well as the early and surrealist periods. The density and originality of Dali's paintings become ever more striking as time goes on, but should not be hived off from his other activities - writer, poet, printmaker, sculptor, filmmaker, inventor of objects, theatre designer and curator of exhibitions. Dalí made the two last great mysteries of his life his subject; the human mind and the structure of the physical universe. Very few artists have been able to sustain the range of activities he undertook and it is not just as a painter that he will be remembered. His writings are now seen not just as ancillary to his paintings but as major texts. These are part of a continuous flow of ideas, optimism and ambition for which ‘success’ was an irrelevant or ambiguous concept.

Dali and Postmodernism
By taking Dali's "paranoiac-critical method" to the delirious extents Dali himself recommended, LaFountain demonstrates that Dali's Surrealism anticipates tactics practiced by postmodern and poststructural critics. In particular, LaFountain advances the notion that "phantom meaning" displaced Surrealism's "phantom object," thereby creating a crisis of the subject and the object far in excess of that sought by Surrealist revolutionaries. Focusing on Dali's magnificent painting, Endless Enigma, LaFountain inaugurates "New Dali Studies" by offering an original interpretation of Dali's close, yet strained, relationship with André Breton and the Surrealist canon.
Amour foot
Mère d’un jeune sportif de haut niveau, Dali Sanschagrin partage avec nous son expérience parfois cocasse, parfois difficile, mais surtout exaltante de soccer mom. Entre les parties du week-end, les entraînements incessants, la préparation de collations santé et les appels au kiné à 22 heures, la ligne est mince entre en faire «trop» et ne pas en faire « assez ». Soutenir son enfant dans son rêve, oui, mais comment ? Afin de trouver des réponses à ses questions, elle a fait appel à Joël Bats, gardien de but légendaire de l’équipe de France, coach émérite et excellent pédagogue, pour qui les notions de plaisir et de jeu dans le sport doivent conserver toute leur essence et toute leur importance.

Leurs réflexions s’adressent également aux formateurs et aux entraîneurs de toutes les disciplines sportives qui ont le désir d’accompagner l’enfant dans sa passion.
