A well balanced, delicious rosé from the famous region of Provence.
Filled with red berry fruit and light, subtle spices on the finish. The finish is crisp with minerality and freshness.
Pretty in Pink - this wine works brilliantly as an all year round apéritif.


Depression is one of the most common reasons that people seek medical care and/or psychotherapy, and is often referred to as "the common cold of mental health." Despite this fact, many depressed people continue to misunderstand what they are dealing with, and to negatively judge themselves as they struggle with the condition. The following information may provide a more accurate understanding of this very common problem, and position you to cope with depression more effectively.
Many people are quite judgmental about depression, based on lack of understanding of what it really is. Many believe that "clinical depression" is just a fancy term for the normal down feelings that we all get from time to time, and that it's silly to make a fuss over it when you just need to buck up and keep moving. Many believe that depression shows weakness of character or inability to cope with life, or that it's "all in your head." Many believe that depression is a choice, and that you can just as easily choose to not be depressed if you're motivated. Most depressed people, burdened by these inaccurate beliefs, spend months or years in depression, trying to either ignore it until it goes away or to pull themselves up by their own bootstraps. Many depressed people suffer in isolation, believing that nobody else really experiences this, and that no one would understand.
There is the feeling or mood of depression, which we all get, and which comes and goes in normal life, and then there is the medical condition of Depression (hereafter referred to with a capital D for clarity), which happens to also include feeling depressed – hence, perhaps, the confusion between the two. Clinical Depression is a completely different entity, involving disruption of neurological functioning. Your nervous system works by conducting electrical impulses along chemical pathways from nerve cell to nerve cell throughout your body. This process makes possible every move you make, every thought you have, and every unconscious bodily function that performs without your notice in the background.
Clinical Depression refers to depressed (reduced) functioning of the nervous system. This occurs when the system's chemical activity changes in a way that interferes with optimal transmission of electrical impulses, as described above. This creates the wide variety of symptoms that are typical of Depression, and which make day-to-day life so difficult. Trying to operate your body in a depressed state is much like trying to operate your car on really bad gasoline: it will generally still get around, but not very well, because it's just not working the way it's supposed to.
Markedly diminished interest or pleasure in all, or almost all, activities most of the day. This is particularly telling with the activities you normally enjoy the most.
Significant appetite and/or weight change (either higher or lower).
Significant change in sleep (either more or less).
Physical agitation or sluggishness nearly every day.
Tendency to isolate from others, make excuses, avoid plans.
Increased risk for accidents (personal, household and automotive) due to loss of concentration, reduced ability to process incoming information, and slowed reaction times.
Less motivation for personal hygiene.
The number of symptoms varies from person to person. Some experience a few symptoms in a very pronounced way, but can keep up with most of the daily business of their lives. Less fortunate sufferers of Depression may find themselves practically unable to function at all, such that making it out of bed in the morning constitutes a major victory for the day.
A frustrating aspect of Depression is that the symptoms lead you to live in a more and more constricted way, which itself leads to greater Depression. Imagine forcing someone who is not depressed to stay in bed for hours, keeping the curtains drawn, not showering or changing into fresh clothes, eating junky food, and staying parked in front of the TV. This is something a depressed person might feel very much like doing, but which would cause an otherwise healthy person to become depressed.
The challenge of self-management then, is continuing to move when you don't feel like it, continuing to take care of yourself when it doesn't feel like it matters, and choosing to keep your life operational when your heart just isn't in it. Your determination to do this – at whatever level you can – will be an important factor in reducing the severity and duration of a depressive episode.
Please see Who Gets Depressed, and Why? and What to Do about Depression for additional, important information that will empower you in coping with Depression. If you suffer from Depression, consider asking your loved ones to read When Someone You Love is Depressed so that they can support you more effectively.


Serving as teachers, coaches, and mentors, the dedicated and devoted middle school faculty team knows young adolescents well, and this knowledge is reflected in a program of study that builds upon the foundational skills of the lower school, while supporting students as they are challenged to both persevere and excel in a rigorous curriculum that emphasizes critical thinking and problem-solving skills.
The middle school curriculum allows students to build confidence and versatility. They develop a strong basis of content, cross-disciplinary awareness, and cognitive skills.
The progression of science, technology, engineering, and math classes in the middle school prepares students for both the upper school— where students will tackle more complicated areas of study— as well the world outside of Dexter Southfield.
Public speaking is an integral part of the curriculum at all grade levels of the school. Students have numerous opportunities to speak in front of their class, and annually each class presents a formal program for a larger audience.
Students learn to appreciate art and feel comfortable creating two-dimensional and three-dimensional artwork using a variety of media and materials. Students also participate in music, theater arts, and shop, with exposure varying through the grades.
In Pre-K - Class 5 students participate in the intramural sports program, which provides the foundation for interscholastic sports starting in Class 6. Because every student is required to participate in each sport regardless of experience, innate ability, or size, effort is emphasized over outcome.


Hazardous substances in the environment can have negative public health effects. The environment includes properties of the natural environment such as food, drinking water, water used for recreational purposes, the soil, and the air. The manmade environment includes buildings such as schools, hospitals, and homes. The manmade environment also includes landfills and Brownfields.

Contents, June 2002, by Lisa Raden
Messrs. Rupert Everett and Colin Firth
a Q & A
(in earnest)
Eighteen years ago, two young British actors named Rupert Everett and Colin Firth starred together in the 30s era homoerotic public school drama, Another Country. Almost two decades later, and now they are being reunited on screen in Miramax's version of Oscar Wilde's cherished romantic comedy, The Importance of Being Earnest. Everett and Firth head an extraordinary cast that includes Dame Judi Dench, Reese Witherspoon and Frances O'Connor, in director Oliver Parker's updated version of the classic tale.
Set in 1890's England, the film revolves around two young gents, Algernon Moncrieff (Everett) and Jack Worthing (Firth), in search of romance and a little excitement. In doing so, Worthing creates a nonexistent brother (Earnest) [sic] to visit London so that he can call upon his sweetheart, Gwendolyn [sic] (O'Connor). Things go awry when Algernon catches on to his deception, and without clueing in Worthing, assumes the role of Earnest to seduce young Cecily (Witherspoon), Worthing's ward staying at his country manor. When they both end up in the country at the same time, their deception is exposed, and mayhem breaks out.
After working together at the very beginning of their careers, and now as two of the most sought after actors in Britain, we thought it would be fun to have them come up with questions for one another. Could we get insight into their 20-year professional relationship? Would their characters in Oscar Wilde's wicked tale influence the repartee? And do these guys even like each other, or is it a bad coincidence that they have ended up once again in the same film? Evidently, it appears they had a jolly good time on the set, and from the looks of it, they may even be a little fond of each other. But then again, you be the judge.
M. Everett to M. Firth:
What did you think of me when we first met?
Kind, generous, professional...adorable in every way.
What do you think of me now? Have I changed much?
You have become a monster.
Has a mid-life crisis hit yet and if so, describe it in depth?
I've started dreaming about Harley Davidsons, Botox and Britney Spears.
Have you experimented with drugs?
I can't remember—it's all a blank.
What made you become an actor?
Desperate need to put on frocks and be adored. Tyrone Power also had quite a lot to do with it.
Did Bridget Jones's Diary change your life?
I've changed a lot more diapers since it was released (had a baby more or less the same day)—and yes, I get a lot more upgrades.
Are you jealous of Hugh Grant and if not, who are you jealous of?
I admire his talent and envy his hair options. I also look forward to the day when my fee equals his per diem—but I can live with not being him. No further comment. Any honest answers to this question would be far too revealing.
Do you regret never having played Hamlet?
Do you regret my not having played it? I actually did play it once—I regret not have played it a bit better.
Where do you see yourself in twenty years? Would you like a knighthood?
While I think a knighthood is inevitable in the next year or so, I think I'm going to have to decline on grounds that it might make me seem a bit old and spoil my chances with Britney. Twenty years time would be fine. I expect I'll still be acting—if anyone is still asking and the implants and transplants allow. I'd quite like to end up as Charles Gray.
Have you ever dabbled with homosexuality?
I don't really think this is the place to come out.
What is your best memory of making The Importance of Being Earnest?
Dabbling with homosexuality.
M. Firth to M. Everett:
When they suggested me for The Importance of Being Earnest what was your first reaction?
Oh God, not him. But I was pleasantly surprised at the first reading when you didn't bring that awful guitar and you seemed to have lost that red brick "Robin-Hoody" thing that you were working in the old days.
When you dream of giving it all up and doing something else, what do you dream of doing?
I'd like to be a loader at Miami International Airport and get rich smuggling.
Would you ever consider cosmetic surgery. If so, what?
Yes, I would consider cosmetic surgery—perhaps a penis reduction.
Were you jealous of my singing voice in The Importance of Being Earnest?
Yes, desperately. I thought what a shame for you that vaudeville is dead.
What most relaxes you during breaks in filming?
A good whine about the production.
What quality in other actors most enrages you?
When they are too good.
Is there anything that (as an actor) you would absolutely refuse to do—however much they paid you?
It would depend on the money.
Do you like doing live chat shows?
They terrify me.
Are you in any way politically motivated?
I enjoyed the whole thing—you made me laugh the entire time. So did Judi.
Are you jealous of Hugh Grant? If not, who are you jealous of?
I'm not jealous of High Grant, but I am jealous of Denny Night Debenhams (Daniel Day Lewis) because whenever he goes off to be a cobbler or have a wobbly, Harvey Weinstein and Martin Scorcese are on the next plane tracking down the shoe shop, coming in on all fours and begging him to come back. I once threw it all in for a bar job and I'd still be there now if I hadn't been fired.

For almost all of us, a house is the most expensive thing you'll ever buy. Not only is it the centre of family life and a retreat from the hustle and bustle of everyday life, it's also a financial asset that, in all likelihood, you expect to grow in value.
With all that in mind, it stands to reason that you'd want to protect it.
Once the process of buying a house is complete and the boxes are unpacked, the excitement of the adventure that awaits means the practical security of your new home is probably not at the very top of your list of priorities.
In fact, it may be that you've been in your home for a while but haven't yet got around to considering the security measures you might take to protect it.
Changing the locks when you move home.
From cleaners to tradesmen, it's impossible to know who might already have spare keys to your house, so having new locks and keys removes any possibility of someone simply being able to unlock your front door whilst you're out. At the very least, install additional deadlocks.
Make sure all accessible windows are fitted with working locks.
According to www.police.uk, in the majority of break-ins that happen in the UK, access to the house was gained through either a door or window. And of course, it goes without saying that once you have locks on your windows and doors, use them every time you go out.
Improve lighting, especially around doors and windows.
The fact is, would-be intruders would prefer not to be seen breaking in, so being able to melt into shadows while they go about their work makes some houses more attractive than others. Making sure you have good lighting, including motion-sensor lighting, is a good preventative step.
These are an obvious deterrent, but if you have one fitted make sure that whoever fits it ensures the wiring for it isn't accessible. And if it malfunctions and keeps going off, get it repaired immediately – and then let your neighbours know it's been fixed. A persistently faulty alarm is more likely to be ignored.
The one deterrent that some homeowners don't consider is security cameras. Although this can be common in shared apartment blocks and smaller contained housing communities, it can also be used on single private homes.
Eoin Clarke, the managing director of Wandsworth security company CCTV Camera London, says: "Although a CCTV system can't stop crime full-stop, it does act as a deterrent, and where a crime is committed it can be the difference between the police being able to identify the offender and recover stolen property.
And of course, most insurance companies now factor home security into the premiums they offer, so taking sensible measures may also offer a cost saving as well as giving you a certain amount of peace of mind.

The exhibition gathers six artists from around the globe: Tokyo, Los Angeles, London, New York, and Mexico City, with their diverse painterly styles, broaching the definitions of painting with its oscillations between abstraction and representation, the sensual and the conceptual, and its facets with sculpture, photography, video, installation, and performance. Margaret Evangeline (NY) startlingly disrupts and distorts the surfaces and reflections of electropolished stainless steel sheets by piercing them with bullets of varying caliber and backing them with porcelain, Chinese paper, or toile de jouy. Gyoko Yoshida (Tokyo) combines materials with immaterial qualities in color, volume, weight, and transparency in her elegant installed and framed works, jumbling the visual vocabularies and interrelationships of surface and frame. Monica Castillo (Mexico DF) presents a captivating projected digital video of a ballerina wearing open paint cans strapped to her trunk and limbs; her balletic maneuvers create a large action painting on the floor, as she in turn, becomes a painted object. Habib Kheradyar (LA) constructs his work of loose-weaved fabrics and armatures that insinuates movement with a shifting moiré pattern. In his dramatic performance, he is suspended and immured, then freed from within its fabric walls. Emma Dewing (NY/London) creates stunning works by loosely gesturing with molten pewter, picking up nuances of the horizontal surfaces upon which they are poured. The cooled forms are then composed on the gallery wall and floor. Kunié Sugiura (NY/Tokyo) encourages various animals to mark the surfaces of photographic paper placed beneath them with their movements and excretions. She then creates a photogram of the live animals on the same sheet with a flash of light, combining negative and positive mark-making aspects of the photographic process.

"Justice Department" (sic) Protects Domestic Terrorists in Houston

Occupy Houston assassination plot records won't be released
(CN) – The FBI was right to withhold records about an alleged murder plot targeting the leaders of Occupy Houston, to protect its informants, a federal judge ruled.
Plaintiff Ryan Noah Shapiro is a doctoral student at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. His research includes "the policing of dissent … especially in the name of national security" and "examining FBI and other intelligence agency efforts to preserve domestic surveillance capabilities while simultaneously subverting the Freedom of Information Act," according to his MIT profile.
Shapiro sent the FBI three Freedom of Information Act requests in early 2013, asking for records about "a potential plan to gather intelligence against the leaders of [Occupy Wall Street-related protests in Houston] and obtain photographs, then formulate a plan to kill the leadership [of the protests] via suppressed sniper rifles."
This is Obama's FBI and Obama's "Justice Department" helping domestic terrorists who had plotted to kill Occupy leaders. Why aren't they being prosecuted? Why aren't they under arrest?
The bullshit fake "alternative" media doesn't even touch this because it's Obama's jurisdiction. They can't just blame it all on Bush. This is what partisan, two-party schizoid politics has done to this country. Domestic terrorists go free without consequence, and the so-called "liberal left" won't even talk about it.

Post 9-11 Clusterfuck America
The scene is Minneapolis at the end of democracy, 2008, at the Republican National Convention, protected by a massive police and surveillance state.
"It was like a war zone. It was a police state."
-Brad Crowder
The story involves activism, protest, non-violence, FBI provocateurs, the federal injustice system, endless war, Nuremberg violations, domestic terrorism, and Molotov cocktails. It has the entire post 911 experience wrapped up in a neat bow.
The nation is to be shocked by the existence of 8 Molotov cocktails. This is the evidence that will convict two Texas boys and send them away to federal prison. It's fitting that they were Texans, protesting the Republicans, who had previously stolen two presidential elections, with frontman Dubya. The political alternatives seemed bleak to non-existent, and the two Texas boys were enamored of a particular older figure, and with the allure of direct action, street action, protest.
They said they weren't anarchists. It's not at all clear that both of them even wanted to use the gas bombs. They were clearly influenced by their mentor, the usual undercover FBI provocateur seeking to entrap them.
They were faced with the prospect of having a fair trial, as the Constitution is supposed to provide, but in the twisted world of federal prosecutions games are played. Plea bargains are used as tools to enforce silence and cover-up, while the maximum sentences are jacked up to ridiculous terms. This gives the prosecutors all the power to railroad people, pressure them, compel testimony, etc. Not justice. Something else.
This case may simply have come down to David McKay being a reckless dolt, unsophisticated enough to not know what he was getting himself into.
On the other hand, McKay didn't actually hurt anyone. He just talked about it. His intent seems to have been property destruction, that old reckless anarchist standby, lauded by some, and clearly a useless counter-productive gateway to a world of shit.
I recall filming at the 2000 DNC convention in Los Angeles. It was there I first encountered the "Black Bloc." These were the young hooligan types in masks that started shit, petty vandalism, spray paint, knocking over newspaper boxes. One unmasked, but particularly angry boy screamed at the MTV reporter, "Corporate! It's corporate! Turn off your televisions!" It was a wild night. Events culminated in violence, the police shooting at everyone with rubber bullets and some kind of pellets. When I say everyone, I mean they were shooting at me! As I filmed. I got the shot.
The next day photographs revealed that a handful of violent anarchist types climbed up the 12 ft. fence and threw trash, rocks, water bottles, or whatever at the delegates entering the (corporate) Staples Center arena. Fitting all around that Al Gore would accept the nomination in a building owned by an office supply company.
Rattled but undeterred, I went back to LA later that week for the march to demand the release of political prisoners. I also videotaped that subsequent night. A portion of the kids were anarchist types, prone to angry outbursts and unwise acts of random vandalism.
You don't change things by smashing a few windows. All you do is give your cause a bad reputation.
You change things by getting elected.
You are greatly outnumbered, child. And outgunned.
Back to Better This World
The hypocrisy of the smug FBI agent and federal prosecutor are hard to stomach. To accept the federal government's Pollyanna clinging to the rule of law and the sanctity of life shtick when one knows the full reality, well it's just surreal.
Ukraine on fire, cheered on by official Washington, which has given the coup leaders billions and continues to support the firebombing neo-nazi "Maidan" regime as they have murdered over 5,000 people in the east of the country.
The Iraq war may have cost over 1 million innocent lives, and it is a Crime Against the Peace, the "supreme international crime." As Hitler invaded Poland, Bush invaded Iraq. There is no technical legal difference in International Law. The US breached the UN Charter in an absurd maneuver that its officials disingenuously claimed was to support UN resolutions.
Prior to 2003, the US enforced sanctions on Iraq killed over 500,000 children alone. Clinton's ghoulish Secretary of State Madeleine Albright admitted on TV to this fact, and she claimed, "the price is worth it."
This is the real world, not just words. And then we have David McKay, who filled 8 bottles with gas and never used them. So scary. Why did he fill them? Was he convinced to do so by his handler? Would he have burned anyone, or not, or just some cars? We'll never know.
The bigger question is: when will those who burn thousands of civilians to death be brought to justice? And why does government authority confer immunity from prosecution and impunity to kill?
Government's War on Occupy

Officials Cast Wide Net in Monitoring Occupy Protests
For instance, the head of the Washington police department's intelligence fusion division sent an email to colleagues before Thanksgiving2011 with an order to develop a "one-page product" to acquaint commanders with "the potential threat" described in a 31-page report prepared by the International Council of Shopping Centers.
The report examined protesters' "attitude towards retail," suggested that business could be disrupted on the day after Thanksgiving and listed several "specific known threats." They included credit card detractors equipped with scissors at malls and posters offering "help for people who want to put an end to mounting debt and extortionate interest rates with one simple cut" and a group of people who had declared on a website that they would "intentionally forgo the shopping frenzy."
Cathy L. Lanier, chief of the Metropolitan Police Department in Washington, said that officials who shared the report might have done so simply to prepare for all eventualities. "I wouldn't consider anything in there as a threat," she said. "But I can see the implications for planning purposes."
Military employees also shared Occupy material. Two Defense Department employees, for example, regularly sent information to the fusion center in Washington or to a federal official connected to the center. One of them, an intelligence research specialist working in the threat analysis center of the Pentagon Force Protection Agency, circulated an email describing Google searches as "a very handy intel gathering tool" to keep tabs on Occupy protests.

Hotel Engine Welcomes Two New VPs
By Cara Meglio - Apr 25, 2022
Hotel Engine is excited to announce two new additions to its executive leadership team: Harrison Doyle, VP of Finance, and Ali Jarosh, VP of Account Management.
As Vice President of Finance, Harrison will oversee the continued development, refinement and optimization of the Hotel Engine business model. He comes to Hotel Engine most recently from Procore Technologies, a provider of cloud-based construction software. He held prior roles at Pacific Crest Securities and Goldman Sachs, and completed his education at Claremont McKenna College.
Harrison is a huge soccer fan, and enjoys many active hobbies like cycling, hiking, skiing, kayaking, and surfing (although he will be putting away the surfboard after relocating from Santa Barbara, CA to Denver, CO). He lives with his fiancé (who he is marrying at the end of May) and their Golden Retriever, and he loves to unwind with sci-fi novels and TV at the end of the day. Fun fact about Harrison: when he was 12 years old, he had a small acting part in a kids' comedy show called Kicking & Screaming, and he is still a member of the Screen Actors Guild!

Katheyondu Shuruvagide
Posted on August 8, 2018 by Heather Wilson
Senna Hegde's Katheyondu Shuruvagagide is a leisurely stroll through three different love stories that run alongside the tale of one man's struggle to keep his hotel business going. It's 'slice-of-life' storytelling that works thanks to the rich dialogue, detailed characterisations and excellent performances from the entire cast. However, it's also reminiscent of European movies that take a slow approach to story development, so this is one more for those who prefer emotions and character-driven drama over fast action.
Tarun (Diganth Manchale) runs a small hotel somewhere on the coast of Karnataka near an absolutely stunning beach. Despite the gorgeous setting and well-appointed rooms, the hotel is struggling and at the beginning of the film Tarun is seen heading to the airport to pick up his only guests for the week – a married couple from the north of India. The opening scenes also establish Tarun's bachelor status in his ultra-cool pad with a totally awesome wall light, and introduce his relationship with his Uncle Shankar (Babu Hirannaiah) and Aunt Radha (Aruna Balaraj). The other characters in the hotel make a brief appearance here too – chef Kutty (Prakash K. Thuminadu), driver and general dogsbody Pedro (Ashwin Rao Pallakki) and hotel receptionist Swarna (Shreya Anchan).
When Tarun arrives at the airport he finds only Tanya (Pooja Devariya) who explains that she has been recently widowed but asks Tarun to keep her status secret from the other hotel staff. This is in an attempt to prevent sympathy which she feels unable to handle. And indeed she is visibly upset and struggling to cope. At various times Tanya breaks down in tears and on the first occasion Tarun responds by chivalrously handing her a box of tissues from the car. However, as the week goes on he becomes more and more intrigued by Tanya and eventually offers her a shoulder to cry on.
While Tarun takes Tanya out sight-seeing and provides her with a ready ear for her problems, Pedro is desperate to let Swarna know that he is in love with her. Swarna on the other hand is getting ready to go to Dubai where her NRI fiancé is located. The two spend time chatting online while Pedro plots how to best persuade Swarna to stay in India with him instead. He's aided by Kutty who bases his suggestions on talk-back radio, ensuring plenty of gentle comedy as the rather naïve Pedro tries to win over the much more sophisticated Swarna.
The third romance is the long-standing relationship between Shankar and Radha, and the interactions between the two suggests a love marriage that has only deepened over the years. However, Radha reveals a rather different story when chatting to Tanya, providing good contrast to the other threads and showing a different side to love. Their story is beautifully developed and both Babu Hirannaiah and Aruna Balaraj suit their roles perfectly. Their scenes are the typical day-to-day reality of an older couple and yet still allow their characters plenty of scope to flourish. The only odd note is Shankar's advice for Tarun to find a partner to help solve his monetary woes, I'm not sure if this was supposed to be a reference to dowry or just to have support through his troubles, but either way this seemed to come out of nowhere.
All the characters are excellent and the slow development suits the realistic nature of the story. Tarun's back-story of living in the US before returning to Karnataka to realise his dream seems plausible and his attempts to rescue the business rather than sell out to a developer also ring true. Diganth does a good job in the role and has good chemistry with his co-star, Pooja. Pooja is fantastic and manages to make Tanya a totally relatable character despite initially declaring that she has decided to come on her honeymoon even after being widowed. It's that 'already booked and I needed to get away' rationale that has worked for movies like Queen but it's Pooja's attitude that really makes this so believable. She varies between genuine grief and attempts to be distracted by the scenery which comes across as totally understandable given her circumstances. Even the final scenes which reveal all is not quite as it seems are entirely plausible while writer Abhijit Mahesh's dialogues are the icing on the cake that makes Tanya's character really come alive. Although Pedro and Swarna's story is mainly lighter and used as comedy, the dialogue here too is excellent and hits plenty of truths along the way.
The events of the film take place over a week, but rather than focusing on the romance between Tarun and Tanya the story follows the characters through their normal day-to-day lives – for example, conversations between Pedro and Radha as she readies the hotel room for Tanya, or between Pedro and Kutty as they prepare breakfast. Nothing happens quickly and the focus on the minutiae of each day adds authenticity to the story. Added reality comes with discussions about reviews on traveller websites and the problems Tarun has had as a result of posted complaints about the food.
The scenery is well shot to showcase just how beautiful the Indian coastline can be. The waters look pristine and the beaches sparsely populated, which made me wonder if this is the reality, and if so why I wasn't already booking a trip! There are a few odd shots taken at approximately knee level which didn't quite work as they pushed me out of the fly on the wall approach and made me lose contact with the characters. However there aren't very many of these and the rest of Sreeraj Raveendran's cinematography is stunning.
Sachin Warrier's songs are good and well pictured with an appropriate mix of sad and happy tunes and a great party song too. Thankfully these were all subtitled which is always a plus, and the rest of the film had great subtitles too. Unfortunately though I missed the name of the subtitler.
Katheyondu Shuruvagide is a sweet film that doesn't try to be anything other than a snapshot of life for a group of people in a small seaside resort. Senna Hegde has the mix of characters exactly right and the few others who appear briefly, such as Raghu Ramanakoppa as a coconut seller are smoothly integrated into the routine established by the main leads. It's good to see such a character driven film with great attention to detail and well written dialogue. Slow-paced, yes, but definitely one to savour.

Gultoo (2018)
Posted on April 16, 2018 by Heather Wilson
Gultoo, the debut release from director Janardhan Chikkanna couldn't be any more topical right now given the recent revelations of data-mining from Facebook. Data theft is central to the plot, and this cyber-thriller mixes action, romance and comedy with a story that fits neatly into Bangalore and the city's IT industry. Although at times the images are shaky and the editing could do with some polish, the dialogue is snappy and on-target while the story is novel with plenty of sneaky twists along the way. Definitely a film to look out for, and the subtitles are pretty good too!
Alok (Naveen Shankar) is a scholarship student in engineering who has a flair for hacking his way into computer systems, something which gets him out of trouble at college. After graduation he has grand plans of a start-up company that will allow him to follow his dreams, but three years out from college he's working in a coffee shop, while his best friend and roommate Aasthi (Ram Dhanush) works at an internet café. Alok also works part-time as an instructor in a small computer teaching centre where he meets Pooja (Sonu Gowda) on her first day in the job. Although Alok is initially rather shy, eventually a romance blossoms between the two as Pooja succeeds in drawing Alok out of his shell.
Aasthi on the other hand has no such problems and is a complete flirt, which provides some excellent comedy as he chats to various women on WhatsApp while also meeting his current girlfriend of the day at her flat. The two men are a study in contrasts – Alok is a typical computer geek, quiet and shy but he's smart and has big plans for his future. Aasthi has no ambition himself and is waiting for Alok's success with his loud, brash persona simply a front for his inability to make his own decisions in life.
Things take a sinister turn when a woman is found gruesomely murdered and Aasthi may be a suspect. At the same time, Alok and Aasthi are also implicated in a major data theft and are taken in for questioning by an investigator from Delhi, even though the evidence seems largely circumstantial. The film moves back and forwards throwing glimpses of past and present together and just as it all seems to be coming together, Janardhan Chikkanna throws in another twist that ups the tension even more. He also blends the action well with some comedy, even in some of the most blood-thirsty scenes, that works well to prevent the film from becoming yet another crime flick.
What works really well here is the plausibility of the plot. The theft of information is from a Government database called Sudhaar which collates personal information for every Indian citizen, including their bank data. There are some similarities with the current Government Aadhaar identity card scheme which makes it seem quite possible that such a situation could happen. Alok and Aasthi are typical young men, but Alok has the knowledge and ability to break into a Government system. The question is, does he have a criminal mentality too? It's a more cerebral crime than a simple credit card scam or bank fraud, and more credible too with anonymous hackers breaking into systems where security is lax. We all know that this occurs and it seems that every day there is yet another news story about a data breach.
I did love the excellent depiction of cybercrime as a shadowy underworld where thieves run amok stealing data and selling it to the highest bidder. Like much of the screenplay, it's funny, smart and informative all at once. Alok's classes for example, teach the audience just as much about computer programming as they do his students. The social references are all just as topical and the dialogue has plenty of current slang that fits the characters perfectly.
The other selling point of the film is that none of the characters are simply black or white. There is plenty of ambiguity in everyone's actions (except perhaps Aasthi who just wants to get laid), and no-one is exactly who they seem to be. This uncertainty ensures that the climax comes as a surprise and even though the film goes back to point out all the clues that were there all along, this feels like a revelation and not the writer gloating over how clever he is.
Naveen Shankar and Ram Dhanush are both appearing in their first film, but both do an excellent job with their roles and effortlessly get under the skin of their characters. Naveen is just serious and shy enough to be believable – he's a computer nerd after all, while Ram Dhanush never lets his Aasthi get too much out of control. He's a typical bloke, but not obnoxiously childish or patronising, and at heart he comes across as a nice guy. Sonu Gowda is also very good, especially in the second half where she gets the chance to really sink her teeth into a rather grey character indeed. Avinash is perfectly cast as the police officer determined to torture a confession out of his suspects, whoever they may be, as too is Rangayana Raghu as the ostensibly 'honest' Chief Minister Anantharamaiah. Pawan Kumar makes an appearance as a consultant IT specialist called Phaneesh and does just as good a job in front of the camera as he usually does from the other side.
Although I enjoyed the soundtrack, for the most part the dance sequences look awkward and more like the sort of routines you'd do in front of your bedroom mirror. The placing of some of the songs is also a little off, although this could partly be due to the clunky choreography which makes these sequences rather amateurish. Also initially confusing are the switches between past and present at the start of the film, since there is no timeline at this point, or any explanation of who the different characters are who only appear briefly and aren't mentioned again until much later in the film. However, apart from these issues (mainly those dodgy dance sequences), the rest of the film really is excellent, with some very clever ideas and smart thinking behind an intelligent and carefully plotted thriller. Kudos too for the 'loading' symbol before the opening credits and the clever use of a film within a film idea that ensures the name of the movie is frequently repeated. Gultoo = Log Out for anyone who wants to know what the title means and hasn't seen the movie's FB page.
There is a freshness and vitality about this film and with great performances, a clever and realistic plot and very funny dialogue this is one not to miss. Highly recommended.

Kasturi Nivasa
Posted on November 2, 2017 by Heather Wilson
I keep an eye out for any early Dr Rajkumar films with subtitles, and was lucky enough to find this 1971 classic on DVD. It's a simple story, but one that's beautifully told with mesmerising performances from the main leads. The film was written and directed by Dorairaj and Bhagawan, who were also responsible for the excellent CID 999 films, Operation Jackpot Nalli and Operation Diamond Racket, also with Dr Rajkumar. Although quite dissimilar in terms of content, Kasturi Nivasa has the same attention to detail as these movies, with creative cinematography and memorable songs and music from G.K. Venkatesh. The film was re-released in colour in 2014 and is available (but without subtitles) on YouTube in both versions.
Kasturi Nivasa is the ancestral home of Ravi Varma (Rajkumar), an industrialist who runs a successful match factory. Ravi is a widower whose only daughter also died in an accident, which has left him alone in the large house except for his servant Ramaiah (K.S. Ashwath). At the factory, Ravi notices new employee Chandru (Rajashankar) because he doesn't laugh at Ravi's jokes. Appreciating his honesty, Ravi makes Chandru the Chief Foreman and decides to send him to America for further training. But Chandru is also a widower and has a young daughter, so he is reluctant to make the trip and leave Rani behind. However, Chandru's situation is so similar to Ravi's that he offers to look after Rani until Chandru returns.
The early part of the film sets up the character of Ravi as a rich but philanthropic businessman. He has inherited wealth and knows that his place in society is to function as a role model while also helping others who are less fortunate. Ravi is very aware of his lofty status but attempts to bridge the gap between himself and his workers by telling jokes and by generally treating them well, although he still seems himself as being of a higher class than his workers. In contrast Bhojarajaiah (Balakrishna) is a terrible owner and suffers financial loss due to his poor treatment of his workers. While that sounds potentially revolutionary and egalitarian, Balakrishna forms part of the comedy track, so his loss of money and face is more about his poor attitude rather than any real concern about workers' rights – although to be fair, at least there is acknowledgement that everyone deserves a living wage.
Bhojarajaiah also tries to set Ravi up with his daughter Prabhu, but she prefers Bhojarajaiah's brother-in-law Sampath (Narasimharaju) and the various contortions the couple go through to avoid Bhojarajaiah make up the rest of the comedy track. While Balakrishna and Narasimharaju are acknowledged comedic actors, their performances here seem somewhat flat in comparison to other films I've seen, while the comedy track doesn't fit well with the rest of the narrative. I'm guessing that it was added because there 'has' to be a comedy track, since otherwise there seems to be added value to the characters of Bhojarajaiah and Sampath.
Ravi looks after Rani and recruits his secretary Neela (Jayanthi) to be a substitute mother for the little girl. (My subtitles say Leela, but Ravi seems to be saying Neela which is the name given on most character lists that I've seen.) The child actress here is excellent and very sweet, although she's a fair way towards being spoiled given that Ravi caters to her every whim. Neela too sets Rani up as the sole purpose for her existence, so it's hardly surprising that Rani throws tantrums when she doesn't get what she wishes. When Chandru comes back, Rani is so used to Neela as her mother that she insists Chandru and Neela sleep with her together in their bed. This leads to Neela and Chandru getting married, which devastates Ravi as he was in love with Neela, but never actually approached her about his feelings.
Things continue to go wrong for Ravi as he loses business when Chandru starts up his own factory using more modern manufacturing methods. As Ravi's situation deteriorates further, Chandru buys Kasturi Nivasa and to his credit tries to help his former boss. However, Ravi's pride leads him to refuse all offers of help, which in turn seriously affects Neela who still has feelings for her 'boss'. Jayanthi looks stunning and she does a fantastic job of portraying Neela's conflicting emotions and loyalties as she is torn between her former employer and her husband. The situation leads to problems between Chandru and Neela, and eventually Ravi succumbs to a suitably dramatic and tragic end, symbolising the end of an era.
Dr Rajkumar is simply wonderful here and imbues his character with dignity and charm that suits his rather old-fashioned persona. Ravi is wealthy and generous, seeing himself as a benefactor for the poor and as someone who upholds traditional values. Chandru in contrast is more modern and practical, and Rajashankar plays him as intelligent and hard-working but impatient with the old order. Chandru is the one who sees the potential in upgrading the factory and on moving with the times, ending up successful as a result of his own hard work. Both actors excel in their roles and work well together to accentuate these differences which lie at the heart of the story. Ravi is old money and the class system, Chandru is equality and success based on personal achievement. Kasturi Nivasa then is a lament for the old order, for rich landlords who looked after their poor tenants and for an opulent lifestyle that few can continue to afford. It charts the rise of the new order– modern manufacturing techniques, the loss of a class divide as workers rise up to become equal with their former bosses, but with an associated loss of morals, seen here by Chandru's addiction to alcohol and his violent behaviour.
What I find most interesting here is the large amount of symbolism used throughout to convey the message. The way Ravi and Chandru are contrasted with each other is also cleverly done to enhance the story. Both men run match factories and believe in treating their workers well, but while Ravi sells Dove matches, Chandru has branded his product with an Eagle, presumably to signify his more aggressive nature. As Chandru comes up in the world he starts wearing suits like Ravi, while Ravi wears the same suit for long enough that it starts to develop visible holes. The transfer of power is seen by their appearance as well as by the changes in the living standards of the two men, but it's also interesting how they are both affected by having money and prestige. Dorairaj and Bhagawan seem to be suggesting that you need to be born with money to know how to use it properly – wealth corrupts those who come into money later in life.
The songs too continue the symbolism, particularly this one about a doll that always gets back up and cannot be knocked down. Sadly for Ravi, although this may have been his philosophy, he appeared to be getting less able to get back up again after each successive set-back
Kasturi Nivasa is deservedly called a classic, with stirring dialogue and the captivating and powerful combination of Rajkumar, Rajashankar and Jayanthi. G.K. Venkatesh's songs are wonderful and beautifully pictured, while there is a socially important message underlying the excellent screenplay. Although I watched the black and white version, the richness of the house comes thought well, and the contrast between Kasturi Nivasa and Chandru's house is perfectly set out. Although the concepts addressed here are rather dated and some of the beliefs now seem quaint and old-fashioned, there is still a powerful message here, and regardless of the date, the film has an ageless quality due in part to the spellbinding performance from Dr Rajkumar. Highly recommended, this is one of those films that should be on everyone's checklist – 5 stars.

The Elephant Breeding Center is a popular place visited by both national and international tourist to get more information on domesticated elephants and the baby elephants born there. The center is just 10 to 15 minutes drive from the Chitwan National Park.
Traditionally, captive elephants were not raised for breeding in Nepal because elephant with a calf needs to be laid off from work for at least 3-4 years. It is not only a daunting task to train the calves but also fairly expensive. The availability of young elephants from the wild for recruiting until a few decades ago did not require breeding elephants in captivity. The establishment of Elephant Breeding Center has provided an opportunity to retain traditional skill of training elephant and their handlers. With this objective, government of Nepal established an Elephant Breeding Center at Khorsor in 1986.
The breeding program began with 20 elephants out of which sixteen individuals were received from the Government of India while four were gifted from the Government of Manmyar and two from the Government of Thailand. These elephants were used for breeding purposes. In the beginning, captive bulls were used as stud but recently wild bulls visiting the Center are contributing significantly in reproducing offsprings.
Long ago, Nepal's lowland had dense forest and the human population was scanty. At that time the wild elephant population in the lowland was abundant. Due to deforestation and expansion of human population, the number of wild elephants is decreasing now. Their conservation has become essential today and the elephant breeding Center was established with the objective of conserving the genetic resource and produce elephants in the country.

The following websites have been at least a little bit helpful to me in learning Lao.
SEAsite Laos has the most resources on one website that I've found so far. I found the grammer notes useful, as well as many of the other Lao language resources on this site.
thailoa.net has information on the Lao language, including how to read and write Lao script and a good explanation of Lao tones.
Branah has many virtual keyboards, including one for Lao. I tried about 3 different virtual keyboards for Lao, and they are essentially the same, but I liked this one slightly better than the others.
Laos Guide 999 has a page of useful Lao phrases.
There is a collection of free language courses by the Foreign Service Institute on several languages, including Lao. I've spent hours on their Reading Lao course, which has helped me immensely. You should be aware, however, that the material is a bit dated (from 1974) and not everything taught in the course is correct today.
Here is just a sampling of what is available on YouTube.
Thomas Kallas has two great videos to help you learn how to read and write in Lao. His first video goes over the Lao alphabet and his second video discusses Lao Tone Rules. The videos are a little long, and I had to use the pause button lots, but they are both full of good information.
If you search for "lao movie" on YouTube you'll find several videos in Lao, and many of them have English subtitles. The one I watched several times is about wildlife conservation.
If you want to experience Lao music, there are several with Lao sub-titles. (Some have subtitles in both Lao script and Romanized Lao.) A few that I like are here and here and here. YouTube user Chip Banzai has uploaded several Lao Pop songs.
Printable Lao Alphabet Flash Cards I didn't find any online, so I made my own.
8 Ways Indiana Jones Can Teach You to Speak Lao - Number 5 is My Favorite teaches you how to use mnemonics to memorize vocabulary from another language. I have 8 examples from the non-existent movie: Indiana Jones and the Nightclub of Doom.


On the last night of the Jesus Culture Conference 2013, we and our students had just been dismissed to go home. Just outside of the amphitheatre we had the opportunity to pray for a young woman who was battling scoliosis with horrible back pain, and flat feet that caused horrible pain as well. Her feet were as flat as pancakes. We prayed for her back, and she was immediately healed. She was able to bend and twist and move in crazy new ways with no pain. Then we prayed for her feet, and right in front of us, she began to grow arches. She went from completely flat feet, to where you could stick your finger all the way under the new arches in her feet. Another guy was standing there watching, immediately removed his shoes and asked us to pray for him. God performed the same miracle for him!

The only difficult part of reading is being able to keep track of where you left off. It can be tempting to fold the corners of your book down as a page marker, but this inevitably damages the book over time. Instead, it's recommended that you find a bookmark that you can use. Instead of spending money on premade designs, why not take a more creative effort and make your own at home? DIY bookmarks are not only a way to show off your creativity, but can also double as a fantastic present for a bookworm in your life.
Below are our favorite quick tutorials that you can use to craft your very own bookmark in a limited amount of time.
For this project, you're going to need to get printed elastic, super glue, and scissors. You can easily find printed elastic at your local craft store or in a crafting aisle at a big box store. It typically comes on a spool that is similar to the spool used for a ribbon.
The first thing you'll need to do is make sure that you cut the perfect amount of elastic. The point of this bookmark is for it to wrap around the pages that are left and the back cover of the book. So, you're going to want to choose an average sized book for reference.
Take the elastic and wrap it over the pages of the book as well as the back cover. You might have to stretch the elastic a little bit and that's okay, as you're going to want the bookmark to be flexible. Using your two fingers, hold both halves of the elastic at the bottom and cut the elastic at the right length.
It's now time to create the bookmark. Take one end of the elastic and fold it into the middle, doing the same process with the other end of the elastic. You can then glue the two halves together so that you have essentially created a full elastic band. It's important that you leave more than enough time for drying, as you won't want to use the bookmark too quickly and have it break.
Once dried, you can easily use the bookmark whenever you please. The best part about this tutorial is that you can keep the bookmark on the back or front cover of the novel. You won't ever have to worry about losing it!
If you're looking for a bookmark that offers a little more bling than a traditional elastic, this is a fantastic tutorial for you. We also love this idea as a personalized gift for a friend or a family member. For this project, you're going to need ribbon, a pair of scissors, super glue, and a charm of your choosing. If you're looking for a more budget-friendly option, consider repurposing an old charm from a piece of jewelry that you don't wear anymore.
The first thing that you need to do is measure the ribbon to make sure it's the right length. You're going to want to fit the ribbon into the middle of your reference book and then cut any excess material off. You can make the bookmark as short or as long as you desire.
Now that you have the perfect ribbon length, it's time to add on the charms. Thread the bottom half of ribbon through the ring of the charm, leaving about 1 inch of excess ribbon at the end.
Take this excess ribbon and fold it upwards, using your super glue to glue the excess to the main piece of ribbon. It's recommended that you use a paper clip to keep the glued pieces together just so they stick together strongly.
Once the charm is secured, all you have to do is put a knot in the top half of the ribbon and your DIY bookmark is ready to be used!
Magnetic bookmarks are multipurpose tools. You can use it while you're reading and once you've finished a book, you can put it on a whiteboard or your fridge. For this tutorial, all you're going to need is scrapbooking paper with a print of your choosing, stickers, a pair of scissors, super glue, and a sheet of magnets.
The first thing you're going to want to do is to decorate your craft paper with your selected stickers. This will give you an idea of the general size of the bookmark before you measure it against your book. Once you have all of the stickers placed on the paper, you can then grab your reference book and measure the craft paper accordingly.
Once you have the fully cut bookmark, it's time to attach the magnets. The best option for this step is to have a full sheet of magnet paper that you can cut to fit the size of your bookmark. However, you can also repurpose magnets that you might already have around the house.
Using your super glue, glue the magnets to the back of the bookmark. This will make it a little heavier, which is always ideal for making sure the bookmark doesn't accidentally fall out of your book.
After giving the magnets more than enough time to dry, you're then going to want to take your scrapbooking paper again. Place the bookmark on the paper and trace the bookmark, cutting the second piece of paper. Using your super glue, glue the second piece to the back of the magnets so that you have a professionally finished bookmark.
There are plenty of different ways that you can create your own DIY bookmark. From using old pieces of jewelry to using scrapbooking paper to create your own, the options are endless.
No matter if you want to create a new bookmark for every book that you read or if you're making a gift for a friend, all you need is a couple of items and a little creativity.

Analysing The Characteristics Of Plain English English Language Essay
The Origin of Plain English. In 1971, the National Council of Teachers of English in the U.S. formed the Public Doublespeak Committee. In 1972, U.S. President Richard Nixon created Plain English momentum when he decreed that the "Federal Register be written in 'layman's terms". Industry soon followed. In 1973, Citibank converted a promissory note to plain English, a change that"brought great prestige to Citibank, which was seen as a leader in improving consumer relations"(Williams 1999, P.3)
The next major event in the U.S. history of plain English occurred in 1978, when U.S. President Jimmy Carter issued Executive Orders 12,044 and 12.174. These were intended to make government regulations cost-effective and easy to understand by those who were required to comply with them. In 1981, U.S. President Ronald Regan rescinded those orders. Nevertheless, many continued their efforts to simplify documents; by 1991, eight states had passed statutes related to plain English. In 1998, U.S. President Bill Clinton issued Presidential Memorandum on plain language, requesting the Federal Government's writing must be in plain English.
The plain- English movement has also been active outside the U.S. In 1982, the British government issued a White Paper ordering departments for the first time to count their forms, abolish unnecessary ones, clarify the rest, and report their progress annually to the prime minister. In the foreword to a book by the Plain English Campaign, a private company in the U.K. , Chrissie Mather notes that they have "attacked unclear legal language for the last fifteen years."(1996)
Proponents of plain English have also been active in Australia since 1976 and in Canada since1988 (Shriver 1997; Berry 1995). Other countries with plain English efforts include Sweden, South Africa, and New Zealand. (Baldwin, 1999)
The Benefits of Plain English
The benefits of plain English are both tangible and intangible. Generally, there are three benefits. First, plain English can get the message across in the shortest time possible; second, more people are able to understand the message; third, there is less chance that the document will be misunderstood, so less time will be spent explaining it to people. And if the document gives instructions, readers are more likely to understand them and follow them correctly. In short, plain English can help save time, personal resources and money.
The Criticism of Plain English
The major criticism of plain English is that its guidelines do not have sufficient research to back them up. This essentially translates to "does plain English work?" .There are two points to consider in this area.
The first is whether guidelines are based on empirical research. It is true hat the majority of plain language resources do not cite research since the majority of them are directed toward the general public. If research is mentioned, it is generally without specific citations. However, of the resources I reviewed, the Document Design Center's Guidelines for document designers has no peer in this area. For each of their 25 guidelines, they provide a section titled"what the research says". One such guideline is the suggestion to "avoid whiz deletions". A whiz deletion is the absence of introductory text for subordinate clauses. The Guidelines offer the comparison between the sentence "The director wants the report which was written by the Home Office." and "The director wants the report written by the Home Office" (Felker and others,1981,pp39½ž40).This guideline was based on direct research done by Charrow. In their extensive study of jury instructions, these authors found that whiz deletions made jury instructions harder to understand.
The second issue regarding plain-English guidelines and research is that actual practice does not appear to follow the guidelines. For example, a group of researchers asserted that the Document Design Center's guidelines about whiz deletions was not valid, since whiz deletions were a common occurrence in( presumably) well-written documents.(Hcklin,Curtin and Graham 1991). This discrepancy between guidelines and practice was also illustrated by van der Wararde's study in Technical Communication (1999). A review of 330 documents found that the majority did not follow standard guidelines with regard to typographic dimension (x-height and line spacing). Does this mean that the guidelines themselves are invalid? Perhaps. But among other possible explanations for this finding, van der Warrde considered that"legibility and attractiveness are not the criteria that are most often used in practice"and that criteria such as cost, standardization, or production deadlines might have more impact on document choices. Or as Redish and Rosen suggest,"Real-world documents are compromises"(1991)
The Principles of Plain English
Generally speaking, there are two principles as the guidelines of plain English. The first one is conciseness and simplicity. In his book- The Elements of Style, William Stunk said, "Vigorous writing is concise. A sentence should contain no unnecessary words, a paragraph no unnecessary sentences, for the same reason that a drawing should have no unnecessary lines and a machine no unnecessary parts." In addition, Plain English Campaign in Australia defines plain English as "good, clear writing which communicates as simply and effectively as possible." Minister of Multiculturalism and Citizenship of Canada referred in plain language:" Clear and simple that plain English should use straightforward, concrete and familiar words to make it concise and easy to understand."
The second one is fluidity and continuity, which means how to organize information from the point of plain English. About this, the Minister of Multiculturalism and Citizenship of Canada thought plain English writing was a technique of organizing information in ways that make sense to the reader.
These two principles can make sure the needs of the reader are matched with the needs of the writer, leading to effective, efficient communication. Actually, these two principles are also the reasons why plain English has been so popular in recent years.
Characteristics of Non-Literary Translation
The Oxford English dictionary defines literature as"writing which has claimed to consideration on the ground of beauty of form or emotional effect."In order to demarcate'literary texts'from'non-literary texts', scholars have applied some criteria. They are fictionality, specialized language, lack of pragmatic function and ambiguity.
Fictionality
One characteristic featureof literary texts arguably is their fictionality. People usually agree that literary texts, even if they attempt to represent reality in some form or another, are ultimately products of a writer's imagination and that at least the characters and their conversations are fictitious.
Specialized Language
People often say that literary language is 'special' and it differs considerably from normal everyday language. As the Russian Formalists maintained in the early twentieth century, literary texts make use of language in such a way that it becomes strange and unfamiliar in a given context. They called this process 'defamiliarization'.
Lack of Pragmatic Function
A piece of literary writing, on the other hand, need not have been intended by the author for any specific purpose. It sometimes seems as though literature was just written into time and space, to nobody in particular and without any function. However, non-literary texts may have a more clearly defined and generally agreed-upon function.
People generally accept the view that literary texts are far more ambiguous and thus often more complicated than non-literary texts. If one reads a recipe, for example, or a time-table or an instruction manual, the meaning expressed in these texts is presumed to be more or less fixed and not open to interpretation. Nonetheless, different people can have different understandings of the same novel. Literary texts indeed must have some quality which makes them more'open'than non-literary ones. One can say that literary texts always express meaning or different levels or in different layers.
According to those four criterias, literature texts include fiction, poetry, drama and so on. In a word, literary works are aimed at reflecting the social activities by portraying images or expressing personal feelings, which most of the non-literary works depend on logic thinking.
Their major characteristics will be analyzed from the following perspectives: content, style, translators', audiences', and function.
As for their content, non-literary texts are not fabricated. Its materials are usually real and evidence is credible, so our translation shall be accurate. If we discover some mistakes of the original texts, we'd better correct it or give explanation to it according to our translation purpose. However, we cannot do the same to the literary works.
As for their style, though the media of all translations is languages, the languages used for non-literary translation put more emphasis on directness and fidelity. Even though some works of popular sciences vivid, it is used for explaining a scientific problem clearly. Therefore, plain diction may be more suitable to non-literary translation. Literary grace is not in the major pursuit.
From the writers' perspective, all work is the result of thinking. Compared with the imaginary thinking for literary grace, non-literary works are to express the meaning accurately.
From the audiences' perspective, they focus more on its information, not its artistic style or aesthetic function. It suggests that the translation may put more weight on providing information. Of course, the translation should not be too unnatural or awkward, or say, the translation should not be of a quality of translationese.
For example: The success rate of up to 90% claimed for lie detector is misleadingly attractive.(Cheng, 2006)
Translation: 测谎器高达90%的成功率¼Œæ®è¯´æœ‰è¯¯å¯¼æ€çš"吸引力。
Here, "misleadingly" is an adverb signifying a translation in meaning. The translation interpreted it as an adjective to stuff it in the sentence. It could be improved as :据簼Œ 测谎器的成功率高达90%¼Œè¿™é¢‡æœ‰å¸å¼•åŠ›¼Œå´å®¹æ˜"把人引入æé€"。
As for their functions, the goal of non-literary works is to provide information. Therefore, translators should spend more efforts on delivering information, and then consider the elegance of languages.
For instance, I have encountered a sentence,"To all to whom these presents shall come, greeting." Logging on the Internet, I find that the most similar version of this sentence comes from Treaty of Nanjing, "To All and Singular to whom these presents shall come, greeting."One of its translations just expresses the meaning of greeting and nothing else:"å¤å®¶å¥½¼"Of course, it can be translated as "致接å-此礼的诸位¼Œä½ 们好¼
"¼Œit sounds good. However, some version translated it into"对这些即将到来和出席的所有人致以亲切的é-®å€™"¼Œwhich is wrong. For "presents" here in its plural form can not be translated as an adverb which means "attended". This case tells us when we do the translation of non-literary works, we should provide correct information.

Three recent graduates from the Water Science, Technology & Policy group (WaterSTP) in the Department of Civil & Environmental Engineering at the University of Waterloo have received three of four top international awards for best Master's thesis research, marking the first time so many awards have been secured from the two associations by one group in a competition year.
Kelsey Kundert, MASc graduate and Senior Engineer in the City of Calgary, and Nik Knezic, MSc graduate and current PhD candidate at the University of Waterloo, won first and second place in the American Water Works Association (AWWA) Academic Achievement Awards for best Master's thesis. In addition, Omar Chowdhury, also an MSc graduate, received the top award for best Master's thesis from the Association of Environmental Engineering and Science Professors (AEESP). These prestigious awards recognize the most outstanding Master's thesis research from a competitive pool of international applicants.
Kundert's thesis focused on coupled chemically-assisted filtration (CCAF) investigating approaches for increasing filter resilience during drinking water treatment to ensure that public health is protected from waterborne pathogens. Knezic's thesis focused on innovative approaches for proactively limiting the growth of harmful algal blooms in drinking water reservoirs—such blooms pose one of the greatest climate change threats to drinking water security globally. Chowdhury received recognition for his thesis which included the development of a "Threshold Microplastics Concentration" framework to provide utilities and regulators with a science-based, easily updatable approach for screening drinking water systems to indicate whether existing treatment is sufficient for managing potential health risks attributable to waterborne microplastics or more detailed risk assessment and management strategies are needed.
Kelsey Kundert Nik Knezic Omar Chowdhury
The three recipients were all supervised by Dr. Monica Emelko who holds the Canada Research Chair in Water Science, Technology & Policy. Knezic was co-supervised by Dr. Mike Stone of the Department of Geography & Environmental Management while Chowdhury was co-supervised by Dr. Bill Anderson, who is a Research Professor in Civil & Environmental Engineering. Knezic and Kundert are members of the forWater Network, a pan-Canadian interdisciplinary network focused on drinking water source water protection on forested landscapes. They indicated that the unique cross-collaboration of WaterSTP, the forWater Network, and a pan-Canadian network of water industry partners supported their innovative research projects resulting in their award.
Graduate students from top universities globally are nominated for conducting outstanding environmental science and engineering (AEESP) and water-related (AWWA) research program. The awards were presented at the respective Association conferences in St. Louis and San Antonio in June 2022.
