Schlager (film)
''Schlager'' ( he, שלאגר), or ''The Hit'', is a 1979 Israeli comedy musical film. The script, lyrics writer and film director was Assi Dayan, the music was written by Svika Pick, and the stars were HaGashash HaHiver (The Trackers) trio. Compared to other projects of Dayan, Pick or The Trackers, this film did not sell well and did not take central place in the Israeli culture. However, one of its songs, "Shir Ha'frecha" ("The Bimbo Song"), performed by Ofra Haza, became Haza's signature song. Plot Dr. Shooky Heftzibah's dancing school is in serious debt and Heftzibah is looking for people he can convince to pay him large sums. He is reuniting with his long-forgotten friend, the lazy garage owner and widower Ziggy Fuchsman, promising to find Fuchsman a new wife if he pays Heftzibah's debts. However, Heftzibah's debts are so large that he must look for a rich new wife for his friend. Heftzibah reads obituaries and takes Fuchsman to a ''shiva'' in order to seduce the new widow, wh ...

Signature Song
A signature (; from la, signare, "to sign") is a Handwriting, handwritten (and often Stylization, stylized) depiction of someone's name, nickname, or even a simple "X" or other mark that a person writes on documents as a proof of identity and intent. The writer of a signature is a signatory or signer. Similar to a handwritten signature, a signature work describes the work as readily identifying its creator. A signature may be confused with an autograph, which is chiefly an artistic signature. This can lead to confusion when people have both an autograph and signature and as such some people in the public eye keep their signatures private whilst fully publishing their autograph. Function and types The traditional function of a signature is to permanently affix to a document a person's uniquely personal, undeniable self-identification as physical evidence of that person's personal witness and certification of the content of all, or a specified part, of the document.

Recording and transmission of film The moving images of a film are created by photographing actual scenes with a motion-picture camera, by photographing drawings or miniature models using traditional animation techniques, by means of CGI and computer animation, or by a combination of some or all of these techniques, and other visual effects.

Obituary
An obituary ( obit for short) is an article about a recently deceased person. Newspapers often publish obituaries as news articles. Although obituaries tend to focus on positive aspects of the subject's life, this is not always the case. According to Nigel Farndale, the Obituaries Editor of ''The Times'': "Obits should be life affirming rather than gloomy, but they should also be opinionated, leaving the reader with a strong sense of whether the subject lived a good life or bad; whether they were right or wrong in the handling of their public affairs." In local newspapers, an obituary may be published for any local resident upon death. A necrology is a register or list of records of the deaths of people related to a particular organization, group or field, which may only contain the sparsest details, or small obituaries. Historical necrologies can be important sources of information. Two types of paid advertisements are related to obituaries. One, known as a death notice, ...

Comedy
Comedy is a genre of fiction that consists of discourses or works intended to be humorous or amusing by inducing laughter, especially in theatre, film, stand-up comedy, television, radio, books, or any other entertainment medium. The term originated in ancient Greece: in Athenian democracy, the public opinion of voters was influenced by political satire performed by comic poets in theaters. The theatrical genre of Greek comedy can be described as a dramatic performance pitting two groups, ages, genders, or societies against each other in an amusing '' agon'' or conflict. Northrop Frye depicted these two opposing sides as a "Society of Youth" and a "Society of the Old". A revised view characterizes the essential agon of comedy as a struggle between a relatively powerless youth and the societal conventions posing obstacles to his hopes. In this struggle, the youth then becomes constrained by his lack of social authority, and is left with little choice but to resort to ruses w ...

Bimbo
Bimbo is slang for a conventionally attractive, sexualized, naive, and unintelligent woman. The term was originally used in the United States as early as 1919 for an unintelligent or brutish man. As of the early 21st century, the "stereotypical bimbo" appearance became that of an attractive woman. It is often used to describe women who are blonde, have curvaceous figures, heavy makeup, and revealing clothing. It is commonly associated with "the dumb blonde" stereotype.''Encyclopedia of Hair'' pp. 149-151/ref> In 2017, "The Bimbo Movement" was founded by self-proclaimed bimbo and adult star Alicia Amira, "the woman most responsible for popularizing the idea of reclaiming hyper-femininity" in order to destigmatise women who are bimbos and to reclaim the term "bimbo". The Bimbo Movement is a movement to empower women to be proud to embrace their femininity, take ownership of their sexuality, and by reclaiming the word "bimbo", fight back against the misogynistic connotations the ...
