"Ambition gets confused with ego - so I step out of that game." -Russell Crowe to Andrew L. Urban on the set of The Sum of Us
INGLOURIOUS BASTERDS: DVD
In the first year of the German occupation of France, Shosanna Dreyfus (Melanie Laurent) witnesses the execution of her family at the hand of Nazi Colonel Hans Landa (Christoph Waltz). Shosanna narrowly escapes and flees to Paris where she forges a new identity as the owner and operator of a cinema. Elsewhere in Europe, Lieutenant Aldo Raine (Brad Pitt) organizes a group of Jewish American soldiers to perform swift, shocking acts of retribution. Later known to their enemy as "the basterds," Raine's squad joins German actress and undercover agent Bridget von Hammersmark (Diane Kruger) on a mission to take down the leaders of the Third Reich. Fates converge at the Paris cinema, where Shosanna is poised to carry out a revenge plan of her own.
Not for the fainthearted, Quentin Tarantino's re-imagining of the 1978 Italian film, with an intentionally misspelt title, is a bold, gory and glorious cinematic fest liberally doused with humour, satire and entertainment value. It begins with 'Once Upon a Time' and ends with a Tarantino-esque view of how victory over the Nazis might have been. While Brad Pitt's name towers over the substantially long Mission Impossible tale, it is in fact Austrian-born Christoph Waltz as Colonel Hans Landa, the Jew Hunter who steals the film, with a beautifully measured, slightly hysterical performance that is all at once comical and devastating.
The first thing to notice about the film is its tone. The music gives a clue, when it shuffles the spaghetti western with Beethoven's Fur Elyse. Incongruous indeed. But music is not the only thing. Genre too is given the full shuffle. Drama, horror-fest, romance, spy thriller and comedy with tinges of slapstick are lovingly and theatrically style-slapped into shape by the fearless Tarantino, whose child-like enthusiasm infused with graphic violence, is easily imagined. It could be considered a conceit of the largest proportions to suggest that cinema per se could destroy Hitler and the SS, but Tarantino's vision is gallant and brilliant.
Language is also a hybrid with subtitles translating the mainstay of German and French spoken. Oh yes, there is a scene in which Pitt's Lieutenant Aldo Raine (from the deep South) and his two colleagues pretend to be Italian, and Aldo (who is allegedly the best speaking Italian of the three) spits out a cringe-worthy attempt at Arrivederci. Aldo heads up the Basterds, an intrepid Nazi hunter who demands Nazi scalps (literally) from his followers. Structured into five chapters, the story begins in 1941 on a dairy farm in Nazi-occupied France and takes us on a journey in which we meet a German Officer turned actor (Daniel Brühl), who believes he is more than his uniform, a cinema owner (Mélanie Laurent, reminiscent of Uma Thurman) intent on revenge, a German actress with a secret affiliation (Diane Kruger), Til Schweiger as the feared Nazi-killer and Michael Fassbender as a former film critic. Watch out for Rod Taylor's cameo as cigar-chomping Winston Churchill and Mike Myers as a carefully made-over General.
Tarantino takes risks and they all pay off. There are umpteen memorable moments in this often shocking entertainment that confronts the horrors of WWII head on coupled with the imaginative flair you might expect. It is definitely not for everyone, but there are plenty who will thrive on the trip.
DVD and Blu-ray special features include the full feature of 'Nations Pride'; extended and alternate scenes.
Review by Andrew L. Urban:
Be prepared for unsettling shifts in pace and tone, be prepared to be shocked and amused, to laugh and guffaw (for various reasons) and to be always surprised in this comic fantasy which is cheeky enough to reinvent history - and has audiences clapping as it does so. It's a film that can launch a thousand conversations with "what about the scene when..."
But then in Tarantino's cinema world, anything goes as long as it serves the gods of cinema by entertaining an audience. He doesn't do things he doesn't thoroughly enjoy and he doesn't make films to pander to anything but our simplest, most used instincts. Inglourious Basterds was triggered by the 1978 original, a rather enjoyable B movie by Italian filmmaker Enzo G. Castellari - but it has morphed into a Tarantino creature all its own. No longer a B movie (they don't make those anymore), this is Agrade stuff, with Brad Pitt leading a glourious cast into World War II battle. Pitt plays Lieutenant Aldo Raine, a Southern boy with his own demonic style and a wicked pact with the authorities to hunt down and kill Nazis - in gruesome fashion, so the word spreads like mists of terror across the Third Reich.
Across the aisle from him is Nazi Colonel Hans Landa (Christoph Waltz), whose sole mission is to find Jews anywhere in France. He is a multilingual homing device with charm to spare and a quiet determination. He is also morally bankrupt. It's a great teaming, contrasting in every way from personality to background. Both actors relish the task and I think Waltz comes off the more memorable, with a slam bang performance perfectly judged to fit into the film's overall tone.
There are two hugely entertaining cameos - in the same scene: Mike Myers plays a British Army General while Rod Taylor does Churchill. Both play to Tarantino's sense of humour and exploitation genre sensibilities. The women are also brilliant, with Diane Kruger playing it straight as the German actress turned traitor, and the lovely Melanie Laurent a serene presence as the surviving daughter of a Jewish family who plots revenge.
Tarantino uses some surprising music cues, applied with the same bravado that infests the entire film, lunging suddenly from calm to violence. The result is a film that seems not to take itself too seriously yet recognises that the subject matter is serious. Tarantino uses restraint to keep us on edge - notably not with action, but with the tension that is built by anticipation; we can tell something's going to go bust, but don't know when or what or how. And the process is gripping. It starts and ends like that, and there are a couple of sequences in the middle, too. The basterd's done it again.

Bombay High Court: Mere Presence at the Crime Scene Not Enough for Punishment
The Bombay High Court ruled that it cannot be considered a crime if a person is merely present at the crime scene which falls under the Maharashtra Prohibition of Obscene Dance in Hotels and Restaurants and Bar Rooms and Protection of Dignity of Women Act 2016. It also quashed two First Information Reports (FIR) against two individuals who were arrested in a raid at a dance bar by the Santacruz Police, in 2017.
Sakina Kapadia
The order has come in a plea moved by 'Justice For All'. The plea seeks laptops, internet connection, and other devices for EWS (Economically Weaker Section) and DG (Disadvantaged Groups) category students so that they can participate in the online classes organized by the schools in light of COVID19 lockdown.
Petitioner's Argument
Ld.counsel Mr Khagesh Jha appeared for the Petitioner. He argued that it is a Fundamental Right to Free and Compulsory Education under Article 21A of the Constitution of India read with Sections 3 and 8 of the Right of Children to Free and Compulsory Education (RTE) Act, 2009.
Mr Jha further emphasizes that Section 8(d) of the RTE Act, 2009 casts a duty upon the State/GNCTD to provide all the requisite infrastructure. It includes the school building, teaching staff as well as learning equipment, and the gadgets required to participate in online education.
Mr Jha further argued that Section 12(2) of the RTE Act defines the extent of reimbursement to the private unaided school that provides free and compulsory education in terms of Section 12(1)(c).
Respondent's Argument
It is submitted that "State" in Article 21A includes the State Government as well as the Central Government and local authorities. He stated that the law giving effect to Article 21A is the RTE Act, 2009, which is Central legislation.
Ld. Counsel further emphasized that the obligations of the State in the present scenario have to be viewed keeping in mind the extraordinary circumstances of the pandemic.
It is further submitted that the Central Government is ensuring that EWS/DG children are not deprived of education. By providing access to education through Television Channels, All India Radio, the Internet, etc.
Court's Observation
The Court considered the arguments made in length by not just the State Government and the Petitioner, but also various private schools that were made parties to this petition. It relied upon the judicial precedent from both India and abroad, as well as on The Learning: The Treasure Within report of UNESCO.
The Court also observed that the Rights of the EWS and DG category students under section 3 of the RTE Act have been seriously undermined by some schools.
Court's Order
The Division Bench of Justice Manmohan and Justice Sanjeev Narula allowed schools to seek reimbursement under section 12 of the RTE Act.
The Court also constituted a committee comprising the Secretary, Ministry of Education, Central Government, or his nominee. This was in order to make Standard Operating Procedures for the identification of standard gadgets and internet packages. With this, EWS/DG students can access elementary education through digital online means.
The Committee shall identify gadgets within two weeks from its constitution. It will take into account all relevant factors including their utility, ease of operation, cost, maintenance, charges, gadget expiry, the reputation of the manufacturer, child lock, etc.

National businesses are likewise an excellent choice for construction teams which work in many cities. Some individuals, however, complain that national businesses aren't as elastic as locally owned companies.
It is difficult to conquer a roll off dumpster when you've got a sizable undertaking that'll create lots of debris. Most rental companies comprise dropping off and picking up the dumpster in the costs, in order to avoid additional fees. Roll off dumpsters typically have time restrictions because businesses have to get them back for other customers. This is a potential disadvantage if you're not good at meeting deadlines.

In most cases, cities will let you keep a dumpster on a residential road for a brief quantity of time. In case you believe you'll need to keep it to the road for several weeks or months, however, you might need to get a license.

3. Keep in touch with the rental company. If anything changes in your program, contact the firm as soon as possible to tell them. That way, you can fix the appointment as needed without restricting your choices.
Deciding where to place your dumpster can have a large impact on how quickly you complete jobs. The most efficient alternative is to select a place that is close to the worksite. It is necessary, however, to contemplate whether this place is a safe choice. Make sure that the area is free of barriers that could trip people while they carry heavy debris.
A lot of people decide to put dumpsters in their drives. This is really a convenient choice because it generally means you can avoid asking the city for a license or permit. If you must put the dumpster on the street, then you definitely need to get in touch with your local government to inquire whether you are required to get a permit. Although a lot of municipalities will let folks keep dumpsters on the road for short amounts of time, others are going to ask you to fill out some paperwork. Following these rules will help you avoid fines which will make your project more costly.

The interrelationship between climate protection and political systems continues to gain more and more attention in the public arena.
Democratisation and climate change are two of the most important topics covered by the Heinrich Boell Foundation. Through a variety of programmes and activities, we commit ourselves to the promotion of democracy and actively participate in the fight against climate change at the local, regional and international levels.
We have asked the British scientist Peter Burnell, politics professor at the University of Warwick, to examine and trace the complex interactions between democratisation processes and climate change.
This has resulted in the policy paper "Climate Change and Democratisation" (PDF), which we will use as the beginning of an informed debate on this very complex relationship. We are particularly interested in the conclusions and policy recommendations on how to deal with the conflict between democratisation and climate change in the future.
Over the last few weeks, we have asked scientists, politicians and representatives from civil society to comment on Peter Burnell's policy paper. We would now like to open the debate and continue the discussion here on our online platform. We invite all of our users to take part.
Peter Burnell: Klima und Demokratie Nach gängiger Meinung sind Demokratien umweltbewusster als nicht-demokratische Länder. Ist das wirklich so?
Climate Change and Democratisation: a Complex Relationship?
First, let me say I am delighted that this paper has helped stimulate a lively debate. I am grateful to all who have read it and particularly indebted to those who have taken the trouble to provide written comments.
Second, although the paper was written several months before the UN Climate Change Conference in Copenhagen, December 2009, there is nothing in that conference and its outcome that leads me to think the paper is fundamentally flawed. On the contrary, announcements by governments and other developments since Copenhagen provide further evidence that the relationships highlighted in the paper continue to be complex. An attachment to this response, headed Has Copenhagen and the aftermath made a difference to the analysis, runs through some of the details.
Third, in response to the experts' comments on the paper in English, and with apologies for being unable to read comments in German, the points made below should be seen as a contribution to furthering the debate. The responses are placed in alphabetical order of the commentators.
But before proceeding to the responses I wish to make clear that apart from being considerably longer than brief that was commissioned, the original paper pretends only to offer an exploration of the issues – including issues that have been neglected or greatly under-researched in the literaure. It is not meant to be a normative and prescriptive contribution. It is not so arrogant as to tell the Heinrich Böll Foundation what position or positions it should take. And it does not intend to give firm policy advice. The author is not as politician or a policy-maker or an ethical philosopher. Hence it is important that their – your – voices speak out and be counted, as well as welcoming the general call for a more inter-disciplinary approach.
