Finding Kalman Trailer (2011)
Trailer for the documentary Finding Kalman.
In this moving documentary a charismatic Holocaust survivor inspires her family to connect to relatives they never met. Focusing on her brother, Kalman, Anna recounts tales of a mischievous boy who tried to escape the Warsaw ghetto with her.
Her daughter, an artist, devours the stories and paints his portrait over and over again. As Kalman's face emerges on canvas, the film moves from archival Warsaw ghetto footage to summers in a Catskills bungalow colony—from vibrant family life before World War II to now.
Four generations grapple differently with their shared history. Roz, the artist felt her mother's pain, understanding it in stages. Maya, an Israeli granddaughter expresses her passion playing the viola. Performing in an Arab-Israeli youth orchestra, she questions why there has to be war when she sees the ease of making music with someone defined as her enemy. Great-grandson Roy wonders with concern how his generation will understand the Holocaust when it seems like just another story.
As the loving family that grew from one survivor celebrates together, the film shows how four generations find light even in the darkest of places—with a resiliency that provides hope for the future.

The number of sex offences on Scotland's railways increased last year amid a rise in overall recorded crime for the first time in 11 years.
A total of 1,675 crimes were recorded in 2014/2015, up 1.3 per cent from the previous year's 1,653, according to figures released by the British Transport Police (BTP).
A guarantee of safety to those using the transport system is both the very least and the most important thing it can offer to themRape Crisis Scotland spokesman
There were 50 incidents of sexual crime recorded on the railways, up from 36 in 2013/14. This included a rise in the number of sexual offences against women.
The annual figures showed there was a rise in sex crime across Britain's rail network - with 1,399 recorded last year compared to 1,117 during the previous 12 months.
But the data revealed crime on trains and tubes across England, Scotland and Wales fell for the 11th consecutive year, with an overall drop of more than 8 per cent on the previous year.
This comes despite the slight increase in total crimes north of the border - the first rise in 11 years.
To combat the number of sex crimes on trains and tubes, BTP helped launch Report It To Stop It, an awareness campaign which encourages people to report any incidents.
Deputy chief constable Adrian Hanstock said: "The increased reports we received of sexual offences being committed on the rail network made it clear this issue was a significant concern for people yet was considerably under-reported.
"Members of the public now have a variety of ways to contact us thanks to our text service.
"Since its launch in 2013, more than 16,000 texts have been received from the public, with 8,926 texts being received in 2014/2015, which is an average of nearly 750 a month."
A spokesman for Rape Crisis Scotland said: "It is very alarming indeed to see such a significant rise in sexual assaults on public transport in Scotland.
"A guarantee of safety to those using the transport system is both the very least and the most important thing it can offer to them, and that must include every possible step to prevent sexual violence."
A breakdown of the figures showed there were 405 instances of "violence against the person" recorded in Scotland, up from 326 the previous year.
However, thefts of passenger property dropped from 340 in 2013/14 to 299 last year.
Chief superintendent John McBride, divisional commander for the Scotland division of BTP, said: "BTP officers and staff continue to deliver a first-rate service to make sure that all customers and staff arrive safe, secure and on time.
"The figures reflect the excellent work being undertaken, day-in, day-out, by BTP officers and staff.
"There were 93 million passenger journeys in Scotland last year, so it is clear that the chances of becoming a victim of crime are very small."
In 2004/2005 there were 10,858 victims of crime. In 2014/2015 that figure has fallen to 6,036 - a reduction of 44 per cent.
Over the same period, passenger numbers have increased by about 47 per cent, BTP said.
Mr McBride said the force will concentrate its efforts on reducing the impact of crime and disruption, with a focus on ensuring it counters terrorism, and has an "effective and robust policing presence" for those travelling to football matches and major events.

I don't have Ruby Woo but I am really starting to love matte lippies so when this restocked, I ordered it. I don't find it overly drying, even for a matte ( I use Chanel Rouge Allure Velvets, Rimmel London Kate mattes and Lime Crime Velvetines for comparison ) but I practice a pretty intensive regular lipcare routine to exfoliate, treat fine lines, hydrate, etc. I think that's the secret to successfully wear both mattes and the pale colors that show every little imperfection. Since it's well pigmented, I can get away with a little overdrawing so I'll likely use a lip brush for precision but even a quick application from the tube left a nice, clean edge. There are several color dupes for Ruby Woo but this one is as much about the formula and performance. I think it's worth splurging on if you normally buy drugstore formulas, and it's a smart all-season deep cool red to add to a higher end collection and won't underperform next to luxury brands.

This was an impulse buy for me, I got a text on my phone from MAC saying it was available and just snatched it up. I'm glad I did. I don't own Ruby Woo so I can't do a comparison, but I do love this color. It's a nice, cool tone red that would work well on a lot of skin tones. I'm not sure if it's the finishing powder that I use or the lipstick itself, but it's very long lasting. The only reason I give it 4.5 starts instead of a perfect 5 is because of the texture. It is very dry so I always wear a lip primer with it (Mac Lip Prime) so it goes on better and doesn't feel so dry on my lips. Other then that I love the stuff.
By Kesha 7 years ago.
I am NOT a RiRi fan, but I am a fan of red lipsticks. I went with this one because I don't have Ruby Woo (although I have worn it when borrowed from a friend). For one, I think it is NOT a perfect dupe for Ruby Woo, but it isn't a major difference in the color. It is slightly darker and bluer but nothing major. It does however seem to feel a bit more comfortable on the lips and is less drying that Ruby Woo. It isn't very forgiving if you have dry/chapped lips so you definitely need to prep your lips first if you have any flakiness that you need to take care of.When applying for the first time I noticed a lot more tugging on the lips than I am used to, but subsequent applications have been much better. As I mentioned, I expected it to be extremely drying like Ruby Woo was but to my surprise it really wasn't. It's definitely not hydrating either though. If wearing a matte is just too much for you then you can apply a little lip balm on top and rub your lips together. This will change the texture but the color remains on the lips. Just something to consider if you love the color but not the feel of matte (or retro matte in this case).If you aren't a RiRi fan, you don't have a love of all lip products that are red, and/or you already own Ruby Woo then you can skip this one with no regrets.
By Driana 7 years ago.
I obviously bought this lipstick because I love Rihanna! Aside from that, I'm completely in love with the color and finish. There is something very classic and sexy about the effect. I've never worn red lipstick, but this is a very positive step into that direction. If you're looking for something super moisturizing, this isn't the lipstick for you. If you love the look Rihanna has made her signature, cop RiRiWoo when it rereleases in the fall.

The first Saints Ahoy Celebrity Fan Cruise, scheduled for March 13-17, probably sounded great when it was planned back in October. But right now, the guest list looks a lot worse.
Wide receiver Lance Moore was released last Friday. Safety Roman Harper was cut in February. Retired safety Darren Sharper is accused of numerous rape allegations in various states. So, he probably won't be making it.
But hey, Kenny Stills! That's neat.

The 10 Hottest Workout DVDs of 2013
Hit "Play" on any one of these killer routines — selected after our 100-plus testers sweated through the latest releases. They bring an all-new meaning to the term homebody.
Peter Ardito
Melt Your Muffin Top
Denise Austin: Shrink Belly Fat
What you'll need: A 3- to 8-pound dumbbell, a yoga mat
Calories burned: 198 per 45-minute workout
The skinny: Whether you string together all three 15-minute core workouts — classic ab exercises, a more advanced routine that includes moving planks and Turkish get-ups, and a cardio calorie blaster — or do them separately, expect to "feel the burn" and to be "eager to repeat [them] over and over." The "very encouraging" Austin points out modifications being done by the exercisers behind her. Testers said they could easily figure out what level they were on as well as see what goals they could advance toward.
Peter Ardito
Cinch Your Waist and Shape Your Booty
Pure Barre Mile High: 2
What you'll need: A 5-inch playground ball or a rolled-up towel, a yoga mat, a chair
Calories burned: 153 per 33-minute workout
The skinny: This ballet-inspired workout, led by Carrie Dorr, the founder of Pure Barre, is broken up by body part — legs, butt, and core — and each section alternates sculpting sets with stretches. Testers appreciated that their abs "burned by the end" and that their thighs were "shaky all the way through" the tiny pulsing exercises like inner-thigh ball squeezes in plank and while standing. "It felt as if my buns were lifted as soon as I finished!" one reader raved.
Peter Ardito
Trim Your Thighs
Ellen Barrett Live: Grace + Gusto
What you'll need: A yoga mat
The skinny: This Pilates-based routine was taped during an actual class, so the "high energy" and "fun, approachable" on-screen exercisers may make you feel you've hit a studio. Expect to crank out more than 100 reps of a move before the session ends. But, instructor Barrett promises, "we mix it up, so you don't notice it." Testers deemed the disc "good for someone who is just getting into Pilates" and the leg work "just what I needed."
Peter Ardito
Shape Up with Yoga
Kristin McGee's S3: Strong, Sexy, Svelte
What you'll need: A pair of 3- to 8-pound dumbbells, a yoga mat
Calories burned: 310 per 80-minute workout
The skinny: Testers liked the sculpting twist on poses, such as warrior II with a weighted biceps curl, in McGee's three 25-minute "interesting, fast-paced" yoga hybrid workouts. Do them back-to-back for a "killer sweat session" that left reviewers "feeling challenged, balanced, and focused." Tack on the bonus five-minute cardio segment included on the disc to bump up your total calorie-burn. "Perfect for those who can't or don't want to go to a studio regularly."
Peter Ardito
Get Fit with Dumbbells
SparkPeople Total Body Sculpting with Coach Nicole
What you'll need: A pair of 3- to 8-pound dumbbells, a yoga mat, a chair
Calories burned: 379 per 69-minute workout
The skinny: Not only is instructor Nicole Nichols like "the girl from work who you hit the gym with," but also her backup demonstrators are "refreshingly normal-size." Nichols leads you through three short, effective routines — strength, barre, and a fat-burning circuit — totaling about an hour at a pace at which "everyone should be able to keep up." Multitasking moves, like the pli? squat with a heel lift, make it feel as if you aren't wasting a second.
Peter Ardito
Take It Up a Notch with Kettlebells
Amy Bento Ross: Kettlebell Power
What you'll need: A pair of 20- to 31-pound (9- to 14-kilogram) kettlebells, a yoga mat
Calories burned: 484 per 66-minute workout, 145 per 17-minute circuit
The skinny: Grab a kettlebell for this "intense" sculpting routine that left testers "sweating and tired" but never bored. Instructor Ross takes a "realistic approach to kettlebells," moving through three 17-minute workouts full of power moves like lateral swings and jump squats, with one-minute cardio bursts interspersed. But don't let the short duration fool you: One reviewer claimed that the workout was "one of the hardest I've ever experienced in my living room," while another said it's "great for advanced fitness enthusiasts who need an at-home option."
Peter Ardito
Get Sweaty with Kickboxing
Jeanette Jenkins: Cardio Kickboxing
What you'll need: A pair of 3- to 5-pound dumbbells, a yoga mat
Calories burned: 656 per 89-minute workout
The skinny: The spunky celeb trainer, who has whipped Alicia Keys and Pink into shape postbaby, has a new burn-and-firm DVD that lets you choose from five quickie cardio routines and two 15-minute sculpting sessions (total body and abs). It's "simple to mix and match for a different workout every day of the week," a tester said. Each boxing session starts with basic moves like jabs and upper cuts, then adds the more complex moves gradually, so it's "easy to follow for even the most uncoordinated user." The verdict? It "really kicked butt."
Peter Ardito
Dance Off the Calories
Dance Off the Inches Latin Cardio Party
What you'll need: Nada
Calories burned: 261 per 44-minute workout, 67 during the 21-minute step guide
The skinny: "It was so fun!" deemed testers of dance pro Emily Naim's "great alternative to Zumba class," which can be done inside your own home. Check out the bonus step guide first to master the hip-shaking samba, cumbia, and reggaeton moves in three "challenging, but not impossible" routines that get more intense and complicated as you progress.
Peter Ardito
Melt the Most Calories with Cardio
Amy Dixon's Breathless Body, Volume 2: The Edge
What you'll need: Nada
Calories burned: 409 per 55-minute workout
The skinny: This "no-excuses" high-intensity interval routine had testers pushing to the edge. Sweat-in-place exercises like plank jacks and tuck jumps are highlighted on-screen at the start of the workout, so you know what's coming up. Whether you choose the beginner, intermediate, or advanced level, "it's definitely a challenge, no matter where you are," especially the last six minutes of nonstop 30-second drills.
Peter Ardito
Grab Weights and Slim Down
Jillian Michaels: Body Revolution
Beginner to advanced
What you'll need: A resistance tube, a pair each of 3-, 5-, and 10-pound dumbbells, a yoga mat (all optional)
Calories burned: 232 per 30-minute workout
The skinny: "Anyone without a gym membership should own this" 15-disc set, one reviewer said. The "passionate" Biggest Loser pro leads you through a 90-day program designed to burn fat and build muscle in 30 minutes. Expect circuit training that progresses in intensity (a basic squat on disc one turns into a single-leg squat with a reverse fly on a later disc). "No wonder people get results," said one satisfied tester midway through this plan.

The United States has already hit its debt ceiling--the legal limit of the amount of money it is allowed to borrow, as established by Congress.
Right now, the U.S. Treasury is resorting to "extraordinary measures" to keep paying the country's bills.
Sometime between February 15th and March 1st, the Bipartisan Policy Center projects, the Treasury's ability to use these "extraordinary measures" will end.
At that point, we will hit the "X-date."
On that date, if the debt ceiling has not been raised, the United States will begin to default on payments that it is legally obligated to make, payments that Congress has already promised that we will make.
The Treasury may have some ability to choose which payments to default on, and when to default on them, but the bottom line will be the same: The Treasury will only be able to pay about 60% of the bills that are owed.
In relatively short order, therefore, the United States will stiff about 40% of the people and companies it owes money to.
Importantly, this default is different from the "government shutdowns" that have happened from time to time (in the 1990s, for example). In those cases, Congress had yet to authorize government spending. This time, the spending has been authorized: Congress has already promised to pay these bills. This time, in other words, we will be choosing not to pay people and companies we have already promised to pay.
This has never happened before in the history of the United States.
That some representatives in our government say they are justified in making this happen now is reckless and scary. And the support that this vocal minority is getting suggests that some ordinary Americans don't understand what will happen if we don't raise the debt ceiling.
So, it is time for everyone to understand.
Below are some slides from a presentation prepared by Steve Bell, Loren Adler, Shai Akabas and Brian Collins of the Bipartisan Policy Center.
This game of chicken that one of our political parties is playing is no joke. To not raise the debt ceiling is to say that it is totally okay to stiff people and companies we owe money to--and, more importantly, to actually stiff them. This is astoundingly reckless and irresponsible behavior (not to mention illegal). And it will have a devastating impact on our country and economy.

Housing Opportunities
This community has made it a priority to maintain at least 65% of its workforce living locally. For example, Land Development Regulations now require that all new residential or commercial developments allocate a certain percentage of that development to "restricted", affordable housing for our workforce. Although the gap between the need and supply for affordable homes is still quite large, the Affordable Housing Department's aims to better support families and individuals that share our community values and have chosen to make Jackson Hole their home. If you're interested to learn more, click to read the full text of our 5-Year Housing Supply Plan.
Your feedback is important to us. Please vote! →→→
Jackson/Teton County Affordable Housing Department's Role
The Affordable Housing Department currently facilitates rentals and sales of two types of Homes:
To be eligible for our Affordable Housing options, you must be in the 0% - 120% Median Family Income range (MFI) for your household size.
If your household earnings are higher than 120% of the MFI, you may be eligible to enter the weighted drawing for a Workforce Home when one becomes available.
We also facilitate ownership of existing Attainable Homes, but this is a legacy program with no more homes being built.
How to Apply for a Home
1. Fill out our Online Intake Form
The first step in finding a home is to fill out our online Intake Form. Completing this Intake Form will add you to the Jackson/Teton County Affordable Housing Department's database.
2. Pay attention to our e-mails and text notifications to see if any properties become available that you are eligible for and interested in.
Unless you check the opt out of receiving emails box, you will then receive an e-mail and/or text each time a new home becomes available.
3. Review our Application Process (below)
You do not have to wait for a home to become available to get started on our application process. In fact, we strongly encourage you to get started on your application in advance, particularly with the following items:
- Verification of Previous Employment. If you have had multiple jobs in Teton County, this is something that you will want to get started on in advance. Verification of previous employment is not required, but it is to your benefit because the household will receive one entry into the weighted drawing for every proven year of consecutive, full-time employment. This only needs to be shown for one person in the household. The maximum number of entries a household can receive based on consecutive, full-time employment is 10.
- An Affidavit for Previous Employment is our preferred method of verification.
- Other possible forms of previous employment verification are listed here. The goal is to be able to prove total annual income, and that the person has worked at least 1560 hours each year.
- Verification of Self Employment.
- Homebuyer Education Course - Ownership Only. One of the requirements to enter the weighted drawing for an Ownership unit is for one person in the household to complete the Homebuyer Education course. This is a self-paced, online course that costs $75 and can take between 3 - 6 hours. Once you obtain the certificate of completion, it never expires.
We understand that these applications take time and effort, and we do not want to disqualify you due to an oversight or misunderstanding about our process. When a weighted drawing is announced, please bring your applications in prior to the due date so that we have time to work with you, make corrections, and give feedback if anything is wrong.
4. Enter the Weighted Drawing for an available home:

Note: This is a response to, an alternate proposal, for Should we require minimum reputation to continue asking questions?
OK, I realize this is a radical idea, but here goes:
When a user drops below a certain rep ratio for their questions, they should be blocked from asking further questions. To get their question asking privileges back, they must service the community by moderator flagging bad posts.
Hold on, stay with me. This serves several purposes:
- It relieves some of the flag and downvote fatigue that seems to be occurring lately with the 10K users.
- It marshals a vast army of users ready (and motivated) to find all of those pesky bad questions and answers for us.
- It gets the attention of the marginal question asker (in much the same way that a suspension does, but in a far more productive way).
- Most importantly, it "encourages" the marginal question asker to deliberately learn the site, what the site is about (it is not a forum), how the site works, and what constitutes good and bad questions and answers, and why.
This is the functional equivalent of making someone do the dishes at a restaurant, because they forgot to bring their wallet.
I'll leave the implementation details up to you. But I'm not opposed to all users earning a small amount of rep for good flags (say 2 rep) and losing a small amount for bad flags (say 1 rep).

Apple and Blueberry Cobbler
This weekend for me was all about catching up with friends, and packing. I go into panic mode when I have to pack for a holiday because I hate forgetting things. To not have the 'stuff' I need while away makes me stress. So when getting ready for a holiday I write lots of lists, and mostly stand around staring at my bedroom and bathroom thinking of things I need. Mainly staring more than thinking.
So where am I going? I'm off to Bali on Thursday for a much needed break. I'll be gone a week so you won't see a post next Monday!
With all the packing and catching up, I didn't get around to much cooking. I did however make this yummy pudding for a friends going away dinner that never happened. Friday night I got home from work, rushed to the shops to pick up some apples and ice-cream, then came home and whipped this up. While in the oven I get a call from my beloved saying everyone's going to the pub now. Dammit. I doubled this recipe to cater for a few people, so was let with two puddings and no dinner. Called my brother and gave him one.
With one spare, I took it around to Colin's (the place we were supposed to be having dinner) plus the ice-cream. Well, this kind of worked out well - there was no dinner prepared before pub time, so we all devoured the pudding for dinner. I ate pudding for dinner. It's not a first for me, but usually if I am to do this I would eat it at home while on the couch, where no one's know I ate pudding for dinner.
There's a couple of ways to make this. This recipe comes from Donna Hay's book Seasons, and originally she has written that you stew the fruit in an oven-proof dish over a stove-top then place the cobbler on top and into the oven. I don't have that kind of dish so I just stewed them in a saucepan then placed them in a ceramic baking dish. Also, I didn't have oats, and to save buying a whole bag for ¼ cup, I just doubled the coconut amount. In a rush, I also forgot the dust the pudding with icing sugar! Would have been a nice finish to the crispy and fluffy cobbler with lovely sweet and syrupy fruit underneath.
Apple & Blueberry Cobbler
Recipe by Donna Hay
3 red apples, peeled, cored and cubed
1 cup blueberries, frozen is fine
½ cup caster sugar
2 tablespoons lemon juice
¼ cup water
1 vanilla bean (or a teaspoon extract), split and seeds scraped
1 cup self raising flour
¼ cup caster sugar
⅓ cup milk
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
100g butter, chopped
¼ cup shredded coconut
¼ cup rolled oats
Icing sugar (for dusting)
Preheat oven 180°C.
In a saucepan over medium heat, add apples, blueberries, sugar, lemon, water & vanilla.
Bring to the boil and cook for 5 minutes or until apples are just tender and a nice syrup has formed. Discard vanilla bean.
In a food processor, place the flour, sugar and butter and process until the mixtures resembles bread crumbs.
Place mixture in a bowl and add the milk and vanilla and stir in well. Add the coconut and oats and stir.
Place the stewed fruit into a 18 cm oven proof dish (1 litre capacity) and spoon the coconut mixture evenly on top. Place in the oven and cook for 25-30 minutes or until a skewer comes out clean. Dust with icing sugar and serve with ice cream.
Serves 4.

SS prospect Correa brings loads of potential to camp
19-year-old eager to prove himself to Astros after impressive season in Minors
HOUSTON -- There's nothing Carlos Correa does publicly that would lead you to believe he's 19 years old. He stands a solid 6-foot-4, with broad shoulders that are reminiscent of a young Alex Rodriguez. Correa makes eye contact, has an easygoing demeanor and speaks eloquently in English, though it's not his native language.
Even if you know nothing about Correa, the former No. 1 overall pick in the First-Year Player Draft, you can certainly understand why the Astros were so smitten with him. And when you watch him play, it's clear why he's considered Houston's top prospect.
This season figures to be a big one for Correa, the shortstop who is coming to Major League camp for the first time after a bang-up season in the Midwest League as an 18-year-old. He'll be one of the youngest players in a young clubhouse in Kissimmee, Fla., but no one is brimming with more potential.
"I'm really excited about this year," Correa said Saturday at FanFest. "I'm excited to go out there in big league camp and show them what I can do in the field and do a great job up there. It will be a fun experience."
Correa spent the 2013 season as the second-youngest player in the Midwest League and still led the league in OPS (.872), while finishing second in on-base percentage (.405) and third in batting average (.320) in his first full season in professional baseball. He also had nine home runs and 86 RBIs.
Correa is likely to begin 2014 at Class A Advanced Lancaster and could spend half of the season at Double-A Corpus Christi.
"To play a full season of A ball at the age of 18 and have the success he's had is very unusual," Astros general manager Jeff Luhnow said of the first pick in the 2012 Draft. "It suggests a bright future for him. Every decade or so, a really special player gets to the Major Leagues before he turns 21, and I think he has a chance to be that type of player."
Correa has already made strong impressions on the Major League staff after appearing in a handful of Grapefruit League games last year. At 19, he's not going to make the Opening Day roster, but this will probably be the final spring he comes to camp not considered a part of the immediate plans for the Major League club.
"It was a great experience to be there last year," Correa said. "This year will be a whole new experience. We'll get to go out to a big league clubhouse and we'll see how it's played at the highest level. And get to play with that talent."
Houston has one of the deepest farm systems in baseball, and Correa leads a promising pack of prospects that includes outfielder George Springer, first baseman Jonathan Singleton and pitchers Mark Appel, Mike Foltynewicz and Lance McCullers Jr.
Correa was frank in a recent interview, saying his goal was to make the Double-A roster at the beginning of the season, not the end. He's blessed with a tremendous arm, poise and footwork, and he figures to grow into more power as he gets older. He admits he's still progressing.
"I would say a lot, physically and mentally," Correa said. "I've gotten better from my experiences of playing every day. It makes you play better. It's been a great experience being in the Minor Leagues, learning to play the game the right way."
Correa is one of the top prospects ever to come out of Puerto Rico, which has produced some of the biggest names in the game. When he was in Puerto Rico in winter ball in 2012, he hung close to Yadier Molina and Carlos Beltran and picked their brains.
"You sit with them and talk about ball and you learn a lot," Correa said. "You ask questions on the bench and keep learning. You take advantage of every opportunity you have. It helps you a lot to learn about the game and play the right way."
The Astros will likely begin the season with Jonathan Villar at shortstop, with Correa charging hard through the system as the can't-miss prospect everyone wants to see. This spring, you'll get your chances.
"I feel I've grown a lot, especially mentally," Correa said. "The game is 90 percent mental. The experiences I've gotten since I was drafted have been invaluable to the club. I think I'm a better player because of my mental approach to the game. It's been a great experience to play in the big leagues in Spring Training and go out there with [manager] Bo Porter, and you learn a lot when you're out there with those guys."

You say tomato and I say tomaito...
'Milk' or 'Mulk' by Julian Smith.
Here is another (somewhat less confronting) clip from Susanna which shows how pronunciation impacts on language:
And another from Julia about what happens when you get it wrong while trying to speak in another language - in this case, Mandarin. This one comes from the popular television program, the Big Bang Theory,
3 comments:
Re: The Milk video clip
This was a sick and stupid attempt at humor made worse by the fact that this is a university (academic) site. Gun violence is never appropriate to make a point. How do I explain this to my 9 year old grandson.

Dear Anonymous
Thank you for your comment - it was really appreciated because it provides us with some opportunities to examine the purpose and use of YouTube clips on the Grammar Gang, along with the use of a blog as a medium for teaching in higher education.
First, let me say no member of the Grammar Gang condones the use of violence of one human being against another.
Secondly, it is our intention to engage - not cause offence.
The popular 'Milk or Mulk' clip is a satirical take on the emphasis we might put on pronunciation and its differences. Because of its over-the-top use of violence, the clip also makes a comment about the inappropriate nature of violence with the participants in the clip explicitly referring to this.
Quite a number of authors and artists adopt a satirical use of violence to make similar points about its appropriacy. Quentin Tarantino is one such director who explores the use of violence in a critical and confronting way. Roman Polanski's interpretation of Shakespeare's Macbeth is another way violence is exploited. So too, Anthony Burgess' A Clockwork Orange.
In an adult learning environment, we are expected
be critical learners and able to make distinctions between ethics, morality and also the various genres of writing and the devices used to make a point.
Modern (and arguably contentious) examples of the exploitation of violence include South Park; Family Guy, American Dad, The Simpsons and a range of other television programs. One would be loathe to let a 9-year-old watch these but a teenager, for example, might have learned more critical ways to interpret the devices used.
Smith (2010 p. 282) cites Ferdig and Trammel who believe that the success of a blog lies in 'promoting interactivity [which is] conversational [and] a mode of interaction more conducive to improved student and teacher relationships, higher order thinking and greater flexibility in teaching and learning'.
Some of our posts certainly promote conversation and we see evidence of interaction through our comments, reactions and polls.
However, we take on board the controversial nature of the clip and, instead, have decided to link to (rather than embed) it. We have swapped it (5 501,636 viewers since 2009) for another which makes the same point using different humor (4,945,280 viewers since 2008)
To view or not will ultimately be the choice of our blog readers.
Thank you for participating in our blogocracy, and wish you - and your grandson - well.
Andrea (on behalf of the Grammar Gang)

Thanks for your comment, Anonymous, and your reply, Andrea. In response to our reader's final question, 'How do I explain this to my 9 year old grandson?', I'm guessing this is a rhetorical question, but personally, if I found material offensive when my children were younger, I would use it as a teaching opportunity, so I'd explain about satire, say that people have differences of opinion in this area, and teach my child to exercise judgement regarding what is acceptable, according to the guidelines I felt appropriate (which of course differ from person to person). When children are older, of course, they make their own judgements, which are often different to ours.
I always like to make the most of any teaching opportunity!

battery-stats-collector - Collect statistics about battery charge
battery-stats-collector [option] ...
Does exactly as it says on the tin - it will collect information from the APM subsystem and write it to a log file. Normally battery-stats-collector will be invoked by the system startup scripts.
battery-stats follow the usual GNU command line syntax, with long options starting with two dashes ('-'). -V, --version Show version of battery-stats-collector and exit. -h, --help Show summary of options and exit. -s, --syslog Log error messages to syslog, rather than stderr. Note that messages regarding invalid command line parameters will still go to stderr. -o filename, --output filename Append statistics to the given file. The default filename is /var/log/battery-stats -1, --once Only collect a single sample and exit. The default is to loop continiously. -i seconds, --interval=seconds Sampling intervals in seconds. If not specified, stats will be collected every 30 seconds. -I, --ignore-missing-battery Keeps quiet about missing batteries. This stops the warnings on stderr/syslog that would otherwise occur when the battery is missing. -F samplecount, --flush=samplecount Flushes data to the logfile every <samplecount> samples. A value of zero turns off flushing altogether. If left unspecified, battery-stats-collector will assume a value of 1, i.e. flush at every write. Setting the value too low will tend to keep the disk spinning (and use battery needlessly). Setting the value too high will loose statistics in case of an improper shutdown. Note that since battery-stats-collector uses the standard Ansi C library, data will still be flushed periodically (regardless of this setting) once the buffer fills up. The size of the buffer is platform dependent, but 4Kb and 8Kb seem pretty normal.
/var/log/battery-stats Default file for writing battery charge samples to.

This post flew around the web last summer, and is it an wonder? Jars+any food on the food pyramid=greatness.
Ingredients for the Graham Cracker Layer (enough for 4 16 oz mason jars)
1 1/2 c. graham cracker crumbs, 1/2 stick butter, pinch of salt
Instructions for Crust Layer
Preheat oven 350 degrees.
Melt butter,mix in graham crumbs and salt until moistened. Spray 4 mason jars with non-stick spray and press cracker mix into jars. Press the crumbs down firmly with the flat bottom of a clean screwdriver.
At this point I decided just to use a boxed chocolate mix. I mixed it up as instructed. I filled each jar halfway full (no more). You will have left overs for cupcakes.
Place the jars in a pan, fill the bottom of the pan with 1 1/2 c. water. Bake for 30 minutes (or until cake is set).
Remove and add large marshmallows to the top. Press as many as you can inside the jars. Heat the broil and broil for 1-2 minutes.
*You can also stop at the cake part, let it cool. Add marshmallows, but don't broil. Put lids on the jar, and give them to friends with instructions for finishing, OR take these on a camping trip, heat the marshmallows over the fire and add them to the cake jars to complete the treat.

Cocktails for a Cure has been a success from the get-go, and this year was no exception. Chaired by KYGO morning personality Kelly Ford and 5280 Consulting Group founder/president Kasia Iwaniczko MacLeod this third edition of the females-only fundraiser earned a record $160,000.
The money, according to the sponsoring AMC Cancer Fund, goes to the University of Colorado Cancer Center for research and programs involving women's cancers.
In a previous post, we discussed the sweeter side of the event held at RedLine, 2350 Arapahoe St. So today we'll share a couple of the recipes created by master mixologists from several of the metro area's top restaurants and watering holes.

Doubront gives quality effort, but Sox fall to Yanks
Lefty allows three runs over 6 2/3 innings; Napoli hits solo homer
NEW YORK -- What was mostly a lost, long weekend in the Bronx ended in disappointing fashion for the Red Sox, as they couldn't come up with the elusive big hit in a 3-2 loss to the Yankees on Sunday night.
There also was frustration on a replay call that was overturned, and concern for second baseman Dustin Pedroia, who will have his ailing left wrist examined by the club's medical staff on Monday.
Heading into Monday's off-day, which they will spend in Chicago, the Red Sox are 5-8 after losing three out of four in their first rivalry showdown of the season.
"We played tough ballgames," said manager John Farrell. "The big hit was a little bit elusive. It's frustrating any time you lose a series, no matter if it's home or road."
And for the second straight day, Boston had a tough go of it with the new instant replay system.
On Saturday, Farrell challenged a call at second base, but the call stood. Later in the day, MLB admitted it should have been overturned.
In Sunday's game, the original call in the bottom of the fourth inning was that the Red Sox turned an inning-ending 5-4-3 double play. But Yankees manager Joe Girardi challenged it, and the call was overturned, allowing the Yankees to score a run that proved decisive.
"We felt that it was clear that the replay was inconclusive," Farrell said. "Any angle that we looked at, you couldn't tell if the foot was on the bag behind Mike Napoli's leg. Where this became conclusive is a hard pill to swallow. On the heels of yesterday, it's hard to have any faith in the system, to be honest with you."
It seemed like Boston was on the cusp of tying the game or even taking the lead in the top of the eighth, when Napoli started a two-out rally with a double down the line in left against David Phelps. Daniel Nava laid off some tough pitches to draw a walk. A.J. Pierzynski was hit by a pitch to load the bases.
Mike Carp came off the bench to hit for Ryan Roberts, but struck out on a 2-2 pitch to end the threat.
"I think it was a hell of a game," said Red Sox slugger David Ortiz. "Lot of good plays, lot of hard balls hit, good pitching matchup. Good game, somebody's going to end a winner. I think we're going to be fine. It happens all the time."
The inning likely could have turned out differently if not for Ichiro Suzuki racing back to the wall in right to make a tremendous leaping catch to rob Ortiz of extra bases.
"That's an amazing catch," said Girardi. "If he doesn't make that catch, you never know what's going to happen after that, but it appears that it would have been 3-3 after Napoli's hit. It's an amazing catch, and it worked out well that he was there."
Ichiro has made similar catches on Ortiz in the past.
"He's the one guy that's made that play on me a few times. He got that good read, man. Playing the game, he plays deep, but he knows how to read the wall, too. He's good," said Ortiz.
Felix Doubront kept Boston in the game, giving up seven hits and three runs over 6 2/3 innings.
"He was good," said Pierzynski. "When he throws the ball over the plate, he's as good as anybody. I think, what, two of the walks scored. It just drives his pitch count up. It puts him in situations he shouldn't be in. other than that, he threw the ball well."
It was an entertaining game which saw some unusual plays.
In the first, the Yankees had what would have been a sacrifice fly snuffed out in strange fashion. Jacoby Ellsbury risked tagging up and going to third, but he was thrown out before Carlos Beltran could touch home plate.
"That was great," Pierzynski said. "[Jackie Bradley Jr.] threw it right on the money to throw out Ells at third, and saved us a run. That's why you don't make the last out at third, but it worked out for us right there. Jackie deserves a lot of credit for that whole play. The way he threw it, the way he went and got the ball, and the whole deal."
The Red Sox generated a two-out rally in the second on singles by Roberts and Bradley. Jonathan Herrera raked an RBI single up the middle to make it a 1-0 game. Boston tried to extend the lead when Grady Sizemore followed with a single to right. But Bradley, waved around from second by third-base coach Brian Butterfield, was thrown out at the plate.
Back came the Yankees in the third, as Beltran unloaded for a two-run homer to left to put his team up, 2-1.
"I threw a couple of changeups, and I left that one up and I think he was looking for that mistake," Doubront said.
Then came the replay on a ball Francisco Cervelli hit to third. While Cervelli was injured running out the play, Girardi challenged the call.
Farrell was swiftly ejected, as managers are not permitted to argue plays that go under review.
"Seeing it on the screen, to me, you really couldn't tell," said Napoli. "My interpretation is if you really can't tell, whatever they call on the field is what they should [stay with]. We had some chances to win that ballgame, even though they got that run. We had the opportunity to get a win."
Napoli unloaded for a solo homer to left in the sixth to slice the deficit to 3-2.
But that was as close as the Red Sox would get.
"We were really fighting, really battling back as a team," said Bradley. "The pitchers did a good job of keeping the score where it was. We just weren't able to capitalize on everything tonight."

As more-or-less promised, David Bowie released a new single early Tuesday, the second sampling from his upcoming album, "The Next Day," which Columbia Records is to issue in the United States on March 12.
"The Stars (Are Out Tonight)" follows last month's "Where Are We Now?," but unlike the earlier tune -- a lush ballad in which Bowie seemed to reminisce about his late-1970s days in Berlin -- "The Stars" rides a fuzzy, uptempo guitar-band groove a la "Suffragette City" or "The Jean Genie." It lends credence to producer Tony Visconti's claim that "The Next Day" is "quite a rock album," as he recently told the BBC.
In addition to the single, Bowie unveiled a music video for "The Stars (Are Out Tonight)," a moody piece directed by Floria Sigismondi in which Bowie and Tilda Swinton play a middle-aged couple whose quiet life is unsettled when a pair of sex-obsessed pop stars move in next door. (Anyone wondering whether Swinton knows how much she looks like Bowie can now rest assured that she does.)
"They burn you with their radiant smiles / Trap you with their beautiful eyes," Bowie sings, perhaps in reference to himself. "They're broke and shamed or drunk or scared / But I hope they live forever."
We can't show you the clip here (thanks to a few brief flashes of nudity), but it's available to watch at YouTube, where it had already racked up nearly 130,000 views by late Tuesday morning.

Movies That Need Sequels
List Rules List includes movies that do not currently have sequels but should
Some of the greatest movies of all time do not have sequels. For many of these amazing movies, that's a good thing (we don't need a follow-up to the likes of The Shawshank Redemption or Schindler's List), but there exist some amazing movies that deserve sequels but have yet to receive them. Meanwhile some of the worst movies ever, like Twilight and Transformers, have had multiple sequels. In the hopes that something good comes out of the sequelverse, we've compiled this movies that deserve sequels list.
Films that need sequels are varied and include some cult classics (The Big Lebowski, Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas), some action favorites (True Lies, Independence Day), and some wild card movies (Dude, Where's My Car?, Kindergarten Cop). The common bond here, however, is these are all top movies that should have sequels and don't.
What are the best movies without sequels? What films should have sequels? What movies have sequels in the works? This list of movies that need sequels will get you all riled up that there's a Smurfs 2 and an Air Bud 7, but no follow-up to your favorite movie. If the film you think should have a sequel isn't on the list, make sure to add it to the movies that ought to have sequels list.

Colorado band Lost Caravan giving away GABF tickets
Like a lot of beer lovers, you are bummed. You figured you had more than minutes to nab tickets to the Great American Beer Fest, set to run in Denver October 11-13. But beer crazies, hordes of them, stormed cyberspace and bought all 47,000 fast. In minutes.
You are drooling. You want beer.
But hope remains, thirsty one! Lindsay Meredith, the lead singer for the Colorado rock band Lost Caravan, bought two extra tickets, by mistake. She could have sold them in an instant on Craiglist, but instead she decided to give them away. All you have to do is visit the band's website, or check out one of their shows and sign-up for the raffle. In coming weeks, they will select the lucky winners.
And when you win, you will cease drooling. You will collect yourself. And you will bow down before Lindsay Meredith.

Mesoudi, Whiten and Dunbar showed in a study in 2006 that humans are much more likely to remember facts if they are presented in a social narrative. The study used a diffusion chain paradigm whereby a number of stories, some with more social elements in them than others, were read by a participant who then had to replicate the stories as best they could from memory. Their output was then fed to the next participant who did the same and this was repeated for four generations. The results of this experiment showed that stories with a large amount of social relationships were passed on with much great accuracy than more non-social, fact-based stories.
Recently I visited the newly refurbished National Museum of Scotland and as part of the new "Earth in Space" exhibit they had a movie which was all about the universe. Now, the universe is not a place with very many social problems. Stars, planets and galaxies are not social entities. They are governed by the rules of physics and who's friends with who doesn't come into it. This creates a problem for any science communicator as how can you get your visitors to go any knowing a little bit more about our universe than they did before simply by throwing facts at them. We can see from Mesoudi et al.'s study that humans are no good at remembering information about non-social entities. The Museum stepped up to this problem though and told the story of the universe through the narrative of two children who were exploring the universe in a museum setting of their own.
It isn't only in museum settings that knowledge of humans' cognitive biases can be useful. Recently the Wellcome Trust in combination with the Guardian had a Science Writing Competition. Unfortunately the deadline for entries has gone but all of the information about what makes good Science writing is still available of the website here. This included an article by Gaia Vince about how good science writing needs a good narrative structure. The article encourages science writers to not only report the science but look at how that science affects the lives of the readers and, in doing so, introducing social elements into the story.
New ideas are also surfacing that it might pay to go even further and fictionalise the research that you're wanting to communicate and turn it into a fantastical story. Diamond Light Source, a huge particle accelerator in the Oxfordshire countryside, have got an amazing idea. As a public engagement exercise they've set up a short story writing competition called "Light Reading". This is not only a public engagement activity in itself but the anthology of stories which will be generated from this competition will go some way to engaging the public as well with stories that will really make them remember what it is that the Diamond Light Source research. A stroke of public engagement genius and a really good example of how studying things such as social biases can lead to more successfully engagement and science writing, and with that, blogging.
You can view the competition's website, and perhaps even enter your own story!

Because of Winn-Dixie
Because of Winn-Dixie
The summer that 10-year-old India Opal and her preacher father move to tiny Naomi, Florida, is one of the loneliest ones Opal has had yet. She doesn't know anyone in town, and it seems like the local kids who attend her father's church aren't interested in knowing her, either.
But all that changes when Opal is sent to the nearby Winn-Dixie grocery store. As she tells it: "...my daddy, the preacher, sent me to the store for a box of macaroni-and-cheese, some white rice and two tomatoes and I came back with a dog.
At the Winn-Dixie, Opal sees a big, ugly dog making a ruckus. When the manager threatens to call the pound to take take the mutt away, Opal fibs and says the pooch belongs to her. The dog, now named Winn-Dixie, loves the idea and is thrilled when Opal takes him home.
Winn-Dixie soon becomes part of the family, and Opal's best friend. She tells him everything, especially about how much she misses her mama, who left Opal and the preacher when Opal was three. Besides being a great listener, Winn-Dixie has a knack for making friends all over town, too. Before long, Opal's days --- and her heart --- begin to fill up with all the special (and unusual) people in her life. You won't want to miss this tender story about a girl and the dog that changed her world.

O'Connor and the Crimson are seeking a New England title and nationals berth (photo courtesy Rob Migliaccio).
CAMBRIDGE, Mass.—The Harvard sailing team has competed in more than 40 events in a season that begins in September and carries on through the entire academic year. The Crimson hopes all that hard work will pay off starting this weekend at the New England Dinghy Championship, the first championship regatta of the spring.
Coach O'Connor's Preview
Scroll down for a video interview with Harvard head coach Mike O'Connor reviews Harvard's coed performance so far and previews the weekend action at the New England Championship.
Looking Forward
The Crimson will race at Connecticut College Saturday and Sunday, looking to win a New England title and put itself in position to make a run at a national championship as the season winds down in May and June.
The top eight teams from the New England regatta will advance to the Inter-Collegiate Sailing Association National Semifinals May 1-2 at College of Charleston and Seattle. Nine teams from each semifinal round will move on to the ICSA Coed Dinghy National Championship June 1-3 at Wisconsin.
Junior captain Alan Palmer and Meghan Wareham will sail in the A division, while John Stokes and Tedd Himler will skipper Harvard's B-division entry, with Michelle Konstadt starting at crew. O'Connor could use a variety of athletes in the crew positions, depending on the wind and conditions.
Looking Back
The Crimson's last major fleet-racing was March 27-28, when it placed fourth at the Old Guard regatta and Boston Dinghy Club Cup. Led by Palmer, Harvard placed second in the A division at the Old Guard, just three points back of division-winning Yale. Skippers Wareham, Konstadt and Winston Yan all contributed to the runner-up finish as well.
A week earlier, Harvard had another strong showing, placing sixth in the 20-team, four-division Truxtun Umstead regatta at Navy. Stokes skippered the Crimson to a second-place showing in the B division, with Wareham and Quincy Bock handling the crew duties.
Looking Way Back
Harvard advanced to the national semifinals with a seventh-place showing at last season's New England coed regatta. Palmer guided the Crimson to a third-place finish in the A division. Himler and Stokes also gained championship-regatta experience. Wareham competed in the women's championship, where she helped Harvard place second.

Charles Starkweather & Caril Fugate
On January 28, 1958, Charles Starkweather, a 19-year-old high-school dropout from Lincoln, Nebraska, and his 14-year-old girlfriend, Caril Ann Fugate, kill a Lincoln businessman, his wife and their maid, as part of a murderous crime spree that began a week earlier and would ultimately leave 10 people dead.
The killer couple's deadly road trip, which generated enormous media attention and a massive manhunt, came to an end the following day, when Starkweather and Fugate were arrested near Douglas, Wyoming. The crimes later inspired a slew of books, movies and music. Growing up, Charles Starkweather was bullied and did poorly in school. He later idolized James Dean and identified with the actor's rebellious, outsider image. Starkweather committed his first murder on December 1, 1957, when he robbed a gas station and killed the attendant. Reportedly, an attendant at the station had previously refused Starkweather's attempt to buy a present for Fugate on credit. Starkweather turned to murder on January 21, 1958, when he shot Fugate's stepfather and mother after arguing with them at their home, and strangled Fugate's two-and-a-half-year-old sister. Starkweather and Fugate remained holed up at the scene of the crime for several days, before taking off in Starkweather's car and murdering three more people, On January 28th, the couple killed another three people, a Lincoln businessman, his wife and their maid. Starkweather and Fugate's final victim, a shoe salesman, was killed on January 29th; the couple was captured later that day. Starkweather and Fugate were convicted of murder. He was given the death penalty and died in the electric chair on June 25, 1959. Fugate was sentenced to life in prison, but was released in 1976.

Two years ago he faced heartache when his beloved wife died after a skiing accident.
Now, Liam Neeson is enjoying life again with a new companion.
For the last 10 months, the A-Team star has been dating PR executive Freya St Johnston after they were introduced by friends in the film world.
With one arm tenderly round her neck, the film star looked content and happy on a holiday with her in St Tropez.
It's a spot in which he holidayed for many years with his wife actress Natasha Richardson and their two sons, Michael and Daniel, now 16 and 15 respectively.
Like Liam, Freya, thought to be 36, has two children.
Friends describe her as a "wonderful mother" who "takes life seriously in a free-spirited kind of way".
And her presence seems to have healed some of the painful memories as this week Liam has been seen chatting and sharing a laugh with her.

60 seconds with Azad Zangana on the BoE rate cut
The latest measures from the Bank of England (BoE) are likely to be helpful, but no panacea.
The BoE has decided to cut interest rates, restart quantitative easing, and introduce some additional funding to help corporates, all in reaction to the negative news surrounding activity in the manufacturing and services sectors.
The BoE has decided to take action as it looks like the economy is at a high risk of going into recession.
What does it mean for households?
We should see a fall in mortgage rates in the coming months. Unfortunately, savers are going to be negatively impacted as those interest rates fall, but this is all designed to avoid a recession.
Does the BoE have much ammunition left?
That's the big question. We think that the latest action is helpful, but it certainly wouldn't cause a huge amount of stimulus; it's not going to avoid a recession if we're heading into one.
We're not actually forecasting a recession, but we do think there's going to be quite a severe slowdown in growth in the next couple of years.

Proms 2011: Beautiful Bartók courtesy of András Schiff and the Hallé
Nick Shave on an emotional evening at the Royal Albert Hall
I once recommended a friend and his wife take in a Mozart violin concerto at the Musikverein in Vienna. Neither were concertgoers, both more into pop group, The Maccabees, than Mozart, but they were visiting Austria on a business trip at the time.
When afterwards I asked whether they had enjoyed the experience, the friend laughed and confided with a look of surprise: 'When the orchestra started playing we both just started uncontrollably blubbing. We were sat in the audience with tears rolling down our faces. It was ridiculous.'
I only tell you this because I almost suffered a similar reaction whilst watching András Schiff perform the Bartók Piano Concerto No. 3 at the Royal Albert on Thursday. It was a performance that was so beautifully played, so exquisitely delivered, I felt a strange and overwhelming sense of relief; nowhere more so than in in the central slow movement where the soloist's harmonies, with their chorale-like simplicity, were phrased with such intensity that well – I'll admit, and it's a little embarrassing – I actually began to well up.
Some of the credit for its lump-in-the-back-of-the-throat moments must go to Bartók himself. Conceived in three movements, his work – the last he completed before his death in 1945 – is a combination of percussive play, which Schiff seemed to pluck with delight from the piano, and almost religious, melancholic reflection in the nocturnal slow movement. (And credit, too, must go to the work pressures of the day, after which a rendition of Eine Kleine Nachtmusik on Chinese nose flute might have provided welcome relief.)
But I make no excuses: in the end, it's Schiff and the Hallé, who brought out the clarity and colour in Bartók's score, who deserve the medal for this moving and authoritative performance, finely balanced by conductor Sir Mark Elder. If it doesn't go down as one of THE performances at the Proms this year then we have a truly remarkable – and emotional – season ahead.
Prom 9:
Sibelius: Scènes historiques - Suite No. 2; Symphony No. 7 in C major
Bartók: Piano Concerto No. 3
Janáček: Sinfonietta
András Schiff (piano); Hallé/Sir Mark Elder

The magic number for far too many movies last night at the Academy Awards?
That's how many Oscars, combined, were won by American Hustle, The Wolf of Wall Street, Captain Phillips, Philomena and Nebraska. Four of the nine Best Picture nominees dominated the major Oscar categories. Gravity cleaned up in the technical categories, as expected. Her nabbed a well-deserved Oscar for Best Original Screenplay. Of course, 12 Years a Slave took home the Oscar for Best Picture.
What happened outside of the exclusive club? Wasn't this supposed to be the year that Oscar spread the love to numerous films? Shouldn't we have seen some upsets in a few major categories? Did something go wrong? Or was this how it was meant to be all along?
I can't help but think that several films felt like Bruce Dern's character in Nebraska. You don't get an Oscar. How about a hat?
We are up to our eyeballs in Oscar coverage this morning. Read along as we break down:
- The full list of winners.
- The red carpet recap.
- The "Oscar Selfie" that broke Twitter.
- And Ellen's pizza gag. Did it last too long, or does she get Humanitarian points for feeding some starving actors?

Ibandla Labazalwane kuKristu eZimbabwe
Translate page into: español, Deutsch, français, Bahasa Indonesia, Kiswahili, 한국어, Nederlands, 日本語, 中文, português
|Brethren in Christ Church in Zimbabwe
| [[Image:|300px]]

MWC Affiliated?
Number of Congregations
Origin and Introduction
The Ibandla Labazalwane Kukristu e-Zimbabwe, or Brethren in Christ Church of Zimbabwe, was started in 1898, when five American Brethren in Christ missionaries were sent to southern Africa. Four of these missionaries moved to the Matopo Hills region of what was then Southern Rhodesia, led by Jesse Engle.[5] Cecil Rhodes, a British colonizer and the founder of Rhodesia, granted the Brethren missionaries 3000 acres of land among the Ndebele ethnic group.[6] The missionaries established an outpost with a Brethren school.
The Brethren in Christ Church of Zimbabwe is on friendly terms with the North American Brethren in Christ Church, and with other Brethren churches in Africa. The church is a part of Mennonite World Conference, the Africa Mennonite and Brethren in Christ Fellowship, and the Evangelical Fellowship of Zimbabwe.
Several forms of media serve to connect the church to its Anabaptist tradition. Since 1957, the Zimbabwean Brethren Church has published a newsletter entitled "Good Words".[7] This newsletter contains church announcements, Bible lessons, and prayers. It is currently published twice a year in English and Ndebele. Another form of communication is the Amagugu Evangeli radio broadcast, which is transmitted in Ndebele.[8] Brethren primary and secondary schools also play a large role in supporting church traditions.
1898- Five Brethren in Christ missionaries sent to Southern Africa
The North American Brethren Church sent missionaries Jessie Engel, Elizabeth Engle, Hannah Davidson, Alice Heisey, and Barbara Hershey. Hershey decided to stay in South Africa, but the other missionaries, led by Jessie Engel, negotiated with British founder of Southern Rhodesia Cecil Rhodes to purchase 3000 acres in what is now Matebeleland, located in the South Province of Zimbabwe.[9]
1919- first church-wide meeting to include African members
Before 1919, the church was controlled by missionaries. A male missionary led the church in the position of Bishop, and was accountable to an Executive Board, also comprised of missionaries. Local leaders agitated for greater African representation, and in 1919 missionary leaders met with indigenous leaders. The "Overseer" position was created for native Zimbabweans to fill, and while this position was below the Bishop and Executive Board, it gave native Zimbabweans a voice for the first time. The original three Overseers were Manhlenhle Khumalo, Nyamazana Dube, and Ndebenduku Dlodio.[10]
1964- Brethren in Christ Church of Zimbabwe gains independence from North American Brethren Church
The Brethren in Christ Church of Zimbabwe formally separated from the North American church in May 1964. However, the executive board and the first bishop elected after church independence, Alvin Book, were missionaries. Independence led to decreased church involvement by missionaries and a corresponding decrease in funding for church programs.[11]
1970- Philemon Khumalo becomes first African bishop
Philemon Khumalo was the first African to lead the Zimbabwean Brethren Church. Khumalo was elected after heavy pressure by African church-members.
1980 – Mennonite Central Committee begins work in Zimbabwe
Mennonite Central Committee, the main service arm of the Mennonite Church, began work in Zimbabwe to provide relief after the Zimbabwean war of independence and the ensuing civil war.
2003- Mennonite World Conference Assembly held in Zimbabwe
The MWC Assembly meets once every six years. The 2003 meeting in Zimbabwe was the first MWC Assembly held in Africa.
2009- Bishop Danisa Ndlovu assumes presidency of Mennonite World Conference
Danisa Ndlovu is the current bishop of the Ibandla Labazalwane Kukristu e-Zimbabwe. Ndlovu's presidency of MWC will last until the next MWC meeting. Ndlovu is committed to non-violence, and has worked to end oppression of the Zimbabwean church by the Zimbabwean government.[12]
Major Challenges Facing Group
One challenge facing the Ibandla Labazalwane Kukristu e-Zimbabwe is a commitment to pacifism. The Zimbabwean Church's official peace position has not always been followed in practice. There has been conflict between the Shona and Ndebele ethnic groups. In the Zimbabwean independence war, many young Ndebele church members joined rebel movements. After the war, some Ndebele felt that they had not gotten a fair share of power, and rebelled against independence leader Robert Mugabe. Mugabe confiscated land from the Brethren Church and used death squads and military veterans to torture and kill opponents. In this instance, the Church was split between those who thought violence against the oppressive state was justified, and those who thought that Anabaptists should serve as a peaceful witness in conflict. Currently, church leaders who oppose Mugabe and call for free elections are discriminated against, but the Zimbabwean Brethren Church has upheld its non-violent stance.[13] An Anabaptist commitment to non-violence and methods to deal with an oppressive government peacefully remain major challenges for the Brethren.
Another major challenge for the Zimbabwean church is a high poverty level. In 2004, 68% of Zimbabweans were below the poverty line.[14] Hyperinflation and economic mismanagement have made daily life more difficult for most Zimbabweans, and the church has a role in providing both hope and service to the needy in Zimbabwe. The church has welcomed support from the international Anabaptist community, including the "Family to Family, Village to Village" program which partners the Zimbabwean Brethren church with the North American Brethren church.[15]
The current church bishop is Danisa Ndlovu. In 2009 Ndlovu became President of the Mennonite World Conference, and he has been active in the international Anabaptist world. He has also been a voice for social justice, and has vehemently opposed the corruption, repression, and violence of the Zimbabwean government while still maintaining a peaceful stance.[16]
The Zimbabwe Brethren Church of Christ is growing rapidly. In 2006, the church had over 33,000 members in 317 congregations. Zimbabwean leadership of the Mennonite World Council and the recent Zimbabwean hosting of the MWC have raised the profile of the Zimbabwe church among other Anabaptist groups, and the church is receiving international prayers and support. In the next decade, the church will likely continue to expand, and be a witness for peace against the oppressive Mugabe government. In the next century, the church will still be dealing with issues of poverty, but with a different and hopefully less oppressive government. The Zimbabwean Brethren church will have to work to maintain Anabaptist traits instead of blending in with other Pentecostal and Evangelical churches.

Obviously I'm a bad fan of things
Last week I wrote about the consistent rumors dogging Benedict Cumberbatch and his possible involvement with Marvel. The emergent rumor is that he could be Ant Man, and I said—I thought I said—that Ant Man is a boring character with a stupid superpower, and that if Cumberbatch is going to go superhero, I hope it's a more interesting character with cooler powers, like Dr. Strange. Apparently it came out as I HATE BENEDICT CUMBERBATCH, though, because I proceeded to get sh*t on by the Cumberbabes.
This is the part of being a fan that I have not and will not ever understand. I don't get how liking an actor (or anything) translates into "I must love everything". Increasingly though, you have to be 100% on board with absolutely everything about whatever it is you're digging or else you're a bad fan. Is it not enough for me to spend money on these people? That's always been enough for me. It's been enough to say—I like X, therefore I will go see movies/watch TV shows with X in it, buy magazines or tune into interviews featuring X, and that's how I show my support. I didn't know I also had to be blindly devoted to X, too.
But I might not be the only bad Cumberbatch fan out there, because Sherlock somehow lost the Youtube Audience Award at the BAFTA TV awards on Sunday. Cumberbatch and Sherlock have very active (and vocal) online fans. How did they lose? I really don't know. I do kind of get how he lost the Leading Actor award, though. That's partly down to his odds being greatest for the final season and partly down to his, um, haughtiness. There's really no other way to say it. And look, I like Cumberbatch for his haughtiness just like I like Tom Hiddleston for being a giant dork. That's part of the package with him and I'm okay with it. Cumberbatch is insanely talented and he's put in the work to realize his success so I'm okay with him having a healthy regard for his own accomplishments.
You're going to yell at me, I know. I'm a bad fan, I get it. What I don't get is the blind devotion part. My liking of Benedict Cumberbatch is never going to overcome how stupid I think Ant Man is (just like my Eternal Crush on Chris Evans hasn't made me think Captain America is any less of a boring Boy Scout), or my suspicion that incidents like this probably aren't endearing Cumberbatch to his peers.
(Lainey: I promised Sarah I would try to include only good shots of Cumby from the BAFTAs last night. Um… I hope I succeded…? Also…should I start filing crazy Benedict Cumberbatch stories under the heading "Twilight"? It seems appropriate.)
