Which films will Oscar honor with Academy Award nominations?
Here are more predictions for names we will hear on Monday, Jan. 13.
Noah Baumbach's beautifully realized "Marriage Story" dissects the disappointment that can sour relationships while Boon Joon-ho's "Parasite" imagines a world where families toss away the rule book. Quentin Tarantino's "Once Upon a Time… in Hollywood" dares to remember and rewrite movie history while Lulu Wang's "The Farewell" recalls the love a favorite grandmother can bring. Rounding out the nominees should be Jordan Peele for the perplexing and wildly entertaining "Us."
Greta Gerwig should be nominated for interpreting "Little Women" for today's audiences while Taika Waititi plays with history in "Jojo Rabbit." Steve Zaillian's adaptation of "The Irishman" gives Martin Scorcese the material to create an epic while Todd Phillips and Scott Silver fill offer explanations for a man's behavior in "Joker." The fifth slot should go to Anthony McCarten for imagining the conversations between two powerful men in "The Two Popes."
What happens in the editing room can make the difference to a finished film as these possible nominees illustrate. Leading contenders should be the continuity of "1917," the thrilling action of "Ford v Ferrari," the brutal edge of "Joker," the rhythm of "Parasite" and the timing of "Once Upon a Time… in Hollywood."
Best Animated Feature
The sequel "Toy Story 4" looks to be a likely nominee as well as another follow-up, "How to Train Your Dragon: The Hidden World." Joining these contenders should be the original "I Lost My Body" and "Missing Link" as well as "Frozen 2."
"Apollo 11" brings to life the summer of 1969 when American pride traveled to the moon. "The Biggest Little Farm" examines the unusual dreams for a natural life while "American Factory" explores the current state of industry. "One Child Nation" takes a strong look at practices in China while "For Sama" introduces the story of a Syrian filmmaker.
Sandy Powell and Christopher Peterson recreate several decades of history with the clothing in "The Irishman" while Julian Day recreates the look of Elton John in "Rocketman." Jacqueline Durran brings us closer to the March sisters in "Little Women" while Arianne Phillips traces mid-century looks of the movies in "Once Upon a Time… in Hollywood" and Anna Robbins celebrates the excess of riches in the movie version of "Downton Abbey."
How a film is lit, and a camera is positioned, creates the world we experience on screen. For this Oscar, Roger Deakins should win his second Oscar for imagining a sizzling world in "1917." Joining him as nominees should be Phedon Papamichael for recreating the urgency of speed in "Ford v Ferrari," Rodrigo Prieto for telling a decades-long story in "The Irishman," Jarin Blaschke for making us believe in the mystery (in black-and-white) of "The Lighthouse" and Lawrence Sher for imagining a world that few of us would recognize in "Joker."
The look of the movie - through the design and decoration of its sets - enhances the images we savor. Competing for this Oscar should be the underworld detail of "The Irishman," the exaggerated visuals of "Once Upon a Time… in Hollywood," the chilling confines of "1917," the familiar yet distant world of "Joker," and the contemporary yet curious world of "Parasite."
Yes, it takes magic to make performers look the roles they play. Three films should be nominated for this Oscar: Bringing Judy Garland to life in "Judy," creating the on-point precision of looks in "Bombshell" and developing a range of ages and times for "The Irishman."
Best Original Music Score
Music adds so much to the feeling a film can create. Look for Thomas Newman to prevail on Oscar night for his breathtaking work in "1917." Joining him as nominees should be Hildur Guðnadóttir for "Joker," Randy Newman for "Marriage Story," Alexandre Desplat for "Little Women" and Michael Abels for "Us."
Elton John should be in contention for "(I'm Gonna) Love Me Again" for "Rocketman" along with "I Can't Let You Throw Yourself Away" from "Toy Story 4," for "Spirit" from "The Lion King," "Stand Up" from "Harriet," and "Glasgow" from "Wild Rose".
Boon Joon-ho's "Parasite" (from South Korea) leads the potential nominees for its remarkable honesty in the face of exaggerated comedy along with Pedro Almodóvar's meaningful look at aging in "Pain and Glory" (from Spain). Other top contenders are "Atlantics" (Senegal), "Les Miserables" (France) and "Those Who Remained" (Hungary).
Of the two categories honoring sound, this one focuses on the creation of sound effects to create the film's sound design. The nominees should be "1917," "Ford v Ferrari," "The Irishman," "Joker" and "Once Upon a Time… in Hollywood."
The second sound category honors sound recording and re-recording. Competing for this Oscar should again be "1917," "Ford v Ferrari," "The Irishman," "Joker" and "Once Upon a Time… in Hollywood."
This popular category is all about the marvelous magic creators unleash to tell amazing stories on film. Leading contenders for this Oscar should be "Avengers: Endgame," "Captain Marvel," "1917," "Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker" and "The Irishman."

Is this book the prototype for the climate fiction novel?
Posted on August 3, 2014 August 3, 2014 by J.G. Follansbee
The Sea and Summer, by George Turner
Who wrote the first climate fiction novel? The small cadre of writers and editors interested in this new branch of science fiction cite J.G. Ballard's 1962 novel The Drowned World as one of the first, if not the first, novels to explore how humanity copes with a warming world. But Ballard's novel was published long before human-caused climate change was identified in the 1980s. In his world, an uptick in solar radiation melts the ice caps and floods the coasts. People are merely victims of an uncontrollable solar cycle.
But who published the first fictionalized speculation on the impact of human-caused climate change on the planet and human civilization? That mantle falls on Australian George Turner, author of The Sea and Summer, published in 1987 before the phrases "global warming" and "climate change" hit the popular culture. For writers who want to tackle climate change in fiction, Turner's novel is the prototype for showing the possible interplay of rising sea levels, destructive droughts, and dying ecosystems with other long-term cultural trends on the course of human history. All climate fiction writers should read this novel.
Turner follows the classic science fiction technique of speculating on the impact of new scientific ideas or discoveries on the human future. By the early 1980s, the preponderance of evidence showed the world was warming due to extra CO2 in the atmosphere, what Turner identifies as the "greenhouse effect," a term which should have stuck because it brings home what happens when solar radiation is trapped in a greenhouse gas-soaked atmosphere. Although Turner does not specifically blame industrial civilization for the warming, he repeatedly chides the ancestors of his characters for failing to react appropriately and prevent the worst of the warming's effects. The failure is characterized as a missed opportunity by men and women who prefer to deny what's happening or simply muddle through like they always have. Turner portrays extreme weather events and floods caused by encroaching seas as visible, inexorable events that force his characters to adapt and adapt again. Nature is still in control, and the name of the game is survival.
The Sea and Summer (published in the US as Drowned Towers) also unwittingly presents a metaphorical framework for today's worries over growing income inequality. In his Melbourne of the mid-21st century, society has forked into the rich, powerful "Sweet" and a mass underclass known as the "Swill," the brilliantly named human dross herded into high-rise tenements that—if Turner had lived to see them—satirize the high-rise condos for the wealthy that fascinate Americans in today's west coast cities. Trapped between these extremes is the Fringe, interpreted through 2014 eyes as the shell of a dead middle class and a half-way stop to permanent poverty. In the novel postscript, Turner points to automation and a creaking financial system as the causes for the class bifurcation, but reread, it's an elegant, emotionally accurate construct for the economic anxieties expressed as the 1% versus the 99%. The framework is important because it demonstrates that climate change means more than lost species and sea wall-topping hurricanes.
Turner's masterpiece, a winner of the prestigious Arthur C. Clarke Award, shows his origins as a literary writer. The main character is Billy Kovacs, a thuggish "tower boss" with a soft center who longs for respectability. He falls in love with Alison Conway, the widowed mother of two boys whose father kills himself after losing his job, dropping them into the Fringe. The Conway boys, Teddy and Francis, neatly switch roles as sympathetic support characters, while Nola Parkes, an entrepreneur turned corrupt bureaucrat, shows how people compromise to keep their places in the social strata. The characters are all believable. Turner stumbles by leaving a key narrative conflict, a clumsy genetic engineering story, until the last half of the book, which devolves into conspiracy theory about how the powerful might try to protect themselves from the impoverished if push comes to shove. Turner also grafts on an unnecessary sub-narrative taking place a thousand years in the future. The "Autumn People" chapters add little to the story.
The Sea and Summer is often mentioned in the same breath as Nevil Shute's On the Beach, which catalyzed English-speaking society's anxiety about nuclear war. Unlike On the Beach, which was published 12 years after Hiroshima and Nagasaki and made into a movie, the Sea and Summer came out just as global warming emerged as a popular subject, although evidence about long-term impacts were seen as speculative. It failed to have the same impact on the global warming discussion as Shute's novel had on nuclear war's thinkability. Turner's book was even out of print for years after his death in 1997, and only recently came back as part of the SF Masterworks series published by UK's Gollancz, an imprint of Orion Publishing. The Sea and Summer's revival should help it take its rightful place as a foundational work in a climate fiction canon.
Can you think of another prototypical climate fiction work?

As a runner, you know how to push through. From bad weather to blisters to stitches on your side, you've trained to let the little things slide in order to cross that finish line—even when that comes to pain.
Though the joy of running is unlike anything else, the repeated movements involved can be hard on the body. We've all heard the stories or maybe even experienced some of them firsthand—the full-blown injuries that keep a runner's shoes in the closet for weeks or months.
Whether you're running for pleasure or training for a race, you're bound to have aches and twinges along the way. Injury prevention isn't about the absence of pain; it's about having the right reaction when that pain comes along. A timely response will help you avoid acute injuries that could pull you from the pavement for an indeterminate hiatus.
Is it safe to run through the pain?
What are the signs it's getting more serious?
How can I treat the pain at home?
What exercises will help me keep running?
Your physiotherapist can help you with information, advice, and treatment to keep you running, injury-free. Here are the 7 Most Common Running Injuries and When to Book a Physio Appointment.
While it can affect other athletes, runners are the most commonly afflicted with this pain or tenderness in and/or around the kneecap.
According to a University of Calgary study, this type of pain accounts for 57% of all knee problems in Canadian runners—if you're having pain in this area, it's most likely runner's knee.
Book a physio appointment when: You're having twinges on the outside or inside of the knee when you begin your run, but then seem fine throughout, only to flare up afterward or during prolonged sitting—this is a sign that things could get worse without physio treatment.
Up to 20% of runners are affected by this injury, which appears when the Achilles tendon (connecting the two major calf muscles to the back of the heel) comes under too much stress.
The tendon tightens and gets irritated, leading to the pain in the back of the foot.
Book a physio appointment when: You've got a dull pain in your heel during and after a run, but at home remedies like ice usually take care of it—book a physio appointment before this pain shows up even when you're not running.
Your hamstrings make up the majority of the muscles in the back of the thighs, propelling you forward during your run; injuries involving this group can be an issue of flexibility or strength.
Hamstring strains are common and take a lot of time to heal—re-injuries often occur without the proper physiotherapy and if the re-introduction of training is rushed.
Book a physio appointment when: You have a constant ache or tightness in the back of your legs when you run, which you try to ease with a slower pace or a shorter stride—you'll want to get physio before there's a pop, snap or bruise.
Foot pain accounts for 15% of all running injuries, with plantar fasciitis at the top of that list.
This injury involves small tears and inflammation of the tendons and ligaments of the foot, resulting in pain that might feel like a dull ache or bruise along your arch or heel.
Also known as medial tibial stress syndrome, this achy pain down your shins makes up about 15% of all running injuries.
It may seem small, but these are actually tears happening around your shinbone and can develop into something more serious.
Book a physio appointment when: You can walk and even jump without pain, but there's a tightness and ache around your shin when you run. Before it becomes too tender to touch (or walk), see a physiotherapist for simple ways to correct the issue.
When the band that runs along the outside of your thigh—connecting hip to knee and shin—gets irritated, runners experience a pain down the outer area of the knee joint.
At 12% of all running injuries, it's often mistaken for a knee injury.
Book a physio appointment when: Two to three kilometres into your run, you start experiencing pain and tightness on the outside of your knee. If you walk it out, the pain disappears, but this means it's time for physio—before you hear the clicking or popping sensation of the IT band snapping against the joint.
For runners, the constant impact of activity can cause too much strain on the shins, feet or heel bones and lead to a stress fracture—the most serious of all running injuries.
Different than an acute fracture that happens in one brief moment, stress fractures happen gradually, which means they can be prevented.
Book a physio appointment when: You've got pain when you run, but also sometimes when you're on your feet for too long. Like any progressive injury, it's key to listen to your pain and respond early—a physiotherapist can help make sure you're on track to prevent or recover from stress fractures caused by running.
Physiotherapy can help you recover from a running injury—but we'd rather help you before it gets to that point.

Thomas Willis (n. 27 ianuarie 1621, Great Bedwyn, Wiltshire - d. 11 noiembrie 1675, Londra) a fost un medic englez celebru, care a jucat un rol important în dezvoltarea anatomiei, neurologiei și psihiatriei. A fost cofondator al Royal Society (1662). I se atribuie introducerea termenului de neurologie. A jucat un rol important în istoria anatomiei.

Biografie
Thomas Willis s-a născut la 27 ianuarie 1621, la Great Bedwyn, Wiltshire. Părinții săi erau Thomas Willis și Rachel Howell. A obținut Master of Arts la Christ Church, la Universitatea Oxford, în 1642, Bachelor of Medicine în 1646 și Medical Doctorat în 1660.

După terminarea studiilor in 1642 a luat parte la războiul civil; în acei ani (anii 1640) a devenit unul dintre medicii regelui Carol I al Angliei.

La 7 aprilie 1657 s-a căsătorit cu Maryt Fell.

Cariera sa medicală s-a desfășurat la Westminster, Londra, iar din 1660 până la moartea sa, la Oxford, unde a fost titular al Catedrei de Filosofie Naturală. A fost unul dintre pionierii cercetării neuroanatomice și precursorul neuropatologiei.

Contribuții
Thomas Willis este creatorul termenului de "neurologie". Este autor al multor descoperiri în domeniul neuroanatomiei și al neuropatologiei (douăzeci de autopsii sunt analizate în cărțile sale).
El descrie prejudiciile paludismului în Anglia. Este primul care a descris nevrita diabetică și probabil miastenia sub denumirea de « paralysia spuria non habitualis » (1672). El ar fi făcut prima descriere a sindromului picioarelor fără repaus

Lui i se datorează descoperirea "poligonului lui Willis" (circulus arteriosus), o parte a sistemului vascular al creierului. Descrierea creierului și a nervilor pe care o dă în tratatul său "Cerebri anatome", din 1664 este atât de minuțioasă și elaborată și atât de bogată în informații noi, încât reprezintă un contrast uimitor față de vagile și slabele contribuții ale predecesorilor săi.

Opera sa nu a fost de altfel doar fructul cercetărilor sale individuale: a fost ajutat de Sir Christopher Wren și Thomas Millington, cât și de elevul său Richard Lower, cărora le-a recunoscut contribuțiile. Wren era autorul magnificelor ilustrații din carte. Willis a fost primul filosof al naturii care a utilizat termenul de act reflex pentru a descrie activitățile elementare ale sistemului nervos.

A fost primul care a numerotat nervii cranieni în ordinea în care anatomiștii îi enumeră în mod obișnuit.

Thomas Willis a dat numele febrei puerperale.

Scrieri

 1664: Cerebri anatome: cui accessit nervorum descriptio et usus - una din primele descrieri științifice ale creierului și nervilor
 1667: Pathologiae Cerebri et Nervosi Generis Specimen
 1672: De Anima Brutorum - susține teza conform căreia partea striatum este responsabilă de recepționarea informațiilor senzitive, în timp ce corpul calos este asociat imaginației, iar cortexul cerebral memoriei.

Over the coming months and years FrieslandCampina Germany plans to make major investments in its German plants and their infrastructures as well as in its 'Landliebe' core brand. The facilities in Cologne, Gütersloh and Heilbronn are to be modernised, while production and administration processes are to be optimised with a view to cutting costs. The aim of the investment programme is to strengthen the company's competitiveness in Germany. With these investments, FrieslandCampina is clearly indicating its commitment to the German market and to its German brands.
With the German market for dairy products so intensely competitive, additional measures need to be taken. So the number of employees will be reduced with about 230 in total by eliminating jobs in Cologne, Gütersloh and Heilbronn. However, the company will not be closing down any plants.
FrieslandCampina will be beginning negotiations with the works councils immediately; for all parties involved, these negotiations will be conducted in a careful and responsible manner. The company also attaches great importance to helping the employees affected to relaunch their professional careers.


Village Rohad, Haryana, 05th June, 2018: Jindal Stainless Foundation, part of Jindal Stainless Group, today reiterated its commitment to fulfilling business responsibilities. The Foundation dedicated a water ATM to the community at Village 'Rohad' in Haryana on World Environment day. As a responsible corporate citizen, particularly for the marginalized communities in the vicinity of its operations, Jindal Stainless continuously engages with communities through sustainable Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) projects. Emphasizing the commitment to improve lives, Chairperson, Jindal Stainless Foundation & Managing Director, JSL Lifestyle, Ms. Deepikka Jindal, said, "Giving back to the society and improving lives is an integral philosophy of our foundation and we are committed to the communities we are surrounded by. Throughout the year, we engage in numerous initiatives with an aim to bring about a meaningful change in the lives of the community people. We are extremely happy to have installed the water ATM, which will not only provide clean & safe drinking water, but also have a direct impact on the health of people living in the vicinity". Water ATM will directly benefit more than 7000 people in the village.
Drinking water has assumed critical importance in the future of human survival. It will be the central agenda in global burden of diseases. Jindal Stainless foundation had been concerned about the community needs in the vicinity of the workshop in Rohad, especially the lack of clean drinking water. It was after carrying out a need assessment that this initiative has been undertaken. This also underscores clean drinking water initiative as part of 'Mission Swachh Bharat', which not only mitigates the problem of clean drinking water through installation of the water ATM, but demonstrates community ownership. As per this model, land for the water station is acquired by the local panchayat and the capital cost of Rs. 35 lakh per water station is granted by Jindal Stainless along with the corporate partner, Water Life. This water station is based on ATM model where water dispensation will be at a minimal cost for quality drinking water. The cost of water being dispensed by water ATM is 35 paisa per litre, against the price of one litre bottled drinking water sold in the market for Rs. 20. This will be the second functional water ATM in Haryana by Jindal Stainless Foundation. The first water ATM is currently functional in Pathredi village.
This ATM model is based on community ownership, where it will be run by the local community and earnings from the ATM will support the operational and maintenance costs. Moreover, this ownership model will instill 'pay for use' habit and ensure minimum wastage of water. Under this system, water dispensation on a daily basis will be recorded and the data will be digitally transferred to the main water station office, which will monitor the water quality and quantity. The station office is also responsible for quick solutions in case of any problem with the water station.
As part of sustainable initiatives, Jindal Stainless foundation has been serving the marginalized sections of society through its strategic CSR initiatives. Besides environment, foundation engages in the field of education, health care, women empowerment, community development and agriculture space by providing farmers technical and digital knowledge platform.

Trainee teachers that learn with us gain the practical skills, knowledge and qualification to get the best teaching jobs anywhere in the world.
People who want to start their career as an English language teacher and have the opportunity to teach anywhere in the world. You may be a new graduate, you may want to change your existing career or you may want to travel.
This course is also suitable for those with some teaching experience who do not yet hold the CELTA qualification.
Back in Argentina I am a primary school teacher and I want to progress my career to teach English too. One of my friends recommended I come to Bell – she said it was the best place to study for the CELTA! The teachers are really helpful and give lots of advice on how to improve. I'm enjoying learning in a group as we all help each other and learn from one another.
The Certificate in English Language Teaching to Adults (CELTA) is the most highly-regarded and widely-recognised initial qualification for English language teachers globally. The CELTA is accredited by Cambridge English Language Assessment, part of the University of Cambridge.
CELTA is a four-week, assessed course which focuses on practical skills, introducing you to hands-on teaching experience straight away.
Practical workshops and seminars: there are 120 contact hours in the course including workshops and seminars which focus on language awareness, phonology, language learning, teaching methodology and professional development.
Teaching practice and feedback: you will teach six hours of classes attended by volunteer adult learners of English. In a feedback session you will discuss the lessons taught and receive individual verbal and written feedback from tutors.
Observation: you will observe a minimum of six hours of classes of experienced teachers (this may include two hours of audio material).
Lesson preparation: lesson preparation is initially supervised by the course tutors, but you are encouraged to work more independently as the course progresses. By the end of the course you should have a basic toolkit which allows you to teach effectively in an EFL classroom.
Our teacher trainers are experts in their field and use a variety of effective educational methods and strategies throughout the course. This means trainee teachers benefit from an outstanding learning experience themselves before applying the knowledge and skills they have gained in their own classrooms.
CELTA is taught in our schools, so you will become immersed in a real teaching environment. Teaching practice takes place in our classrooms, with enthusiastic people from the local community that want to improve their English (Bell offers all lessons with trainee teachers free of charge to students).
Please note that the course is very intensive. Most participants tell us that they spend 2-3 additional hours at home each evening researching language, completing written assignments and preparing lessons. This course provides you with a basic toolkit for teaching English and covers a lot of ground; although we look at some language analysis, and tutors will support you, the assumption is that you will research grammar and language issues for lessons outside the sessions.
You should ensure that you do not have other time consuming commitments during the course and are in good physical and mental health before embarking on the CELTA.
I think it is important to study a full-time course, so you are immersed in the learning. I used to be a teacher in France and I had never been taught how to teach. No-one other than students came into my classroom. It's scary to be watched, but it's how you really learn to teach. The course is a rare opportunity to see teaching, analyse teaching, and be critiqued on your own teaching.
All teaching and learning resources for the course are provided, including stationery for teaching practice and books for your written assignments from the Learning Centre. You will also have access to photocopiers, computers, and printers, and will be given training in how to use interactive whiteboards. You will have access to a wide range of facilities at our schools, including a dedicated CELTA classroom.
CELTA is an assessed course accredited by Cambridge English Language Assessment (CELA). In order to pass the course you will be assessed on the lessons you deliver and on four written assignments. You will be informed at each stage of the course of your progress; if you are not meeting specified criteria for any reason you will be given clear information about this and advice on how to adapt and improve. During the last part of the course an assessor from Cambridge English will visit the centre to ensure that the course and criteria have been standardised and run appropriately. Your final result is ratified by Cambridge English after the course has finished.
Step 1: To apply, download and complete the CELTA registration form. As part of the application, you will be required to write a 300 word essay in your own handwriting on why you want to do this course and what you want to do afterwards, and download and complete an assessment.
Step 3: If your application form and essay are both completed to the required standard, Bell will contact you to arrange an interview. For international candidates this can be a phone interview. Acceptance is conditional upon a satisfactory interview.
Step 4: If your application is successful you will need to pay a non-refundable deposit of £375. The balance of your fees must be paid six weeks before the course begins to guarantee your place. If you are accepted after that time, the full fees are due immediately.
Please note: We are unable to hold places open for applicants who do not pay their full fees when they are due. All courses are subject to demand. Please visit www.bellenglish.com/termsconditions for full terms and conditions.
I really thought this course was fantastic. I have learnt so much, the tutors were brilliant at guiding, being positive and constructively feeding back. Having done a PGCE and taught in a secondary school for six years, I can honestly say that this has been the best teacher training I have done.

Collective Bargaining in a Changing World of Work
Collective bargaining and workers' voice are often discussed in the past rather than in the future tense, but can they play a role in the context of a rapidly changing world of work? This report provides a comprehensive assessment of the functioning of collective bargaining systems and workers' voice arrangements across OECD countries, and new insights on their effect on labour market performance today. The publication provides a detailed review of existing collective bargaining institutions and workers' voice arrangements. It analyses the role of these institutions for employment, wages, labour market inclusiveness, as well as non-monetary aspects of job quality. The publication also discusses how collective bargaining can be mobilised to address emerging challenges in the labour market, and identifies the type of government intervention that may be required to do this. The report provides a resource for policy makers, trade unions and employers' organisations interested in understanding how collective bargaining and workers' voice can be used to complement public regulation in shaping ever-changing labour markets.
