    Kate Winslet had a surprising ‘Titanic’ reunion while producing her latest film ‘Lee’ кракен в торе Kate Winslet is sharing an anecdote about a “wonderful” encounter she recently had with someone from her star-making blockbuster film “Titanic.” The Oscar winner was a guest on “The Graham Norton Show” this week where she discussed her new film “Lee” in which she plays the fashion model-turned-war photographer Lee Miller from the World War II era. https://kraken3yvbvzmhytnrnuhsy772i6dfobofu652e27f5hx6y5cpj7ryd.com kraken3yvbvzmhytnrnuhsy772i6dfobofu652e27f5hx6y5cpj7rgyd.onion Winslet recounted that while she had previously executive produced a number of her projects “Lee” was the first movie where she served as a full-on producer. That required her involvement from “beginning to end” including when the film was scored in post-production. She explained to Norton that when she attended the recording of the film’s score in London while looking at the 120-piece orchestra she saw someone who looked mighty familiar to her. “I’m looking at this violinist and I thought ‘I know that face’” she said. At one point other musicians in the orchestra pointed to him while mouthing “It’s him” to her and it continued to nag at Winslet prompting her to wonder “Am I related to this person? Who is this person?” Finally at the end of the day the “Reader” star went in to where the orchestra was to meet the mystery violinist and she was delighted to realize he was one of the violinists who played on the ill-fated Titanic ocean liner as it sank in James Cameron’s classic 1997 film. “It was that guy” Winslet exclaimed this week later adding “it was just wonderful” to see him again. “We had so many moments like that in the film where people I’ve either worked with before or really known for a long time kind of grown up in the industry with they just showed up for me and it was incredible.” “Lee” released in theaters in late September and is available to rent or buy on AppleTV or Amazon Prime.

    Trumps call for a protest crackdown has been a boon for Chinese propaganda Analysis by CNNs James Griffiths Protesters running amok. Innocent citizens under siege. Outside actors engaging in terrorist acts. Police struggling to maintain control and in desperate need of reinforcements. kra24.at That was how Chinese state media portrayed anti-government protests in Hong Kong last year dismissing calls for greater democracy and an investigation into police brutality by focusing on individual acts of violence and property damage. kra1.gl Throughout the protests the US was consistent in its support of people’s right to take to the streets and have their voice heard. Facing widespread unrest and public anger at home in the wake of the death of George Floyd the reaction from US President Donald Trump appeared markedly different. кракен магазин On Monday Trump called for the military to be deployed to “dominate” protesters and demanded states do more to stem “acts of domestic terror.” kra1.cc The irony has not been lost on Beijing which on Thursday marks or rather doesn’t the date is highly censored its own military crackdown on anti-government protesters on June 4 1989. kra16 “Washington’s promise of equality and justice for all in the country has remained hollow at best” state news agency Xinhua said in a commentary titled “The coming suffocation of the American dream.” “Amid the ongoing anti-racism protests in the country decision-makers in Washington instead of trying to sooth the pain and anger of the public have been fanning the flames calling protesters ‘THUGS’ and threatening them with ‘the most vicious dogs and most ominous weapons” the commentary said. kraken21 https://kra18-at.cc China Daily a state-backed newspaper noted that “The US after the killing of Floyd seems to be on fire and troops have been mobilized to subdue angry demonstrators.” “This is certainly not what the world expects to see in a country that is the world’s sole superpower” it added. “But that sadly is the reality of the US.” This rhetoric isn’t just embarrassing for Washington it’s also a sign of how the US may find its influence damaged by a perceived hypocrisy over human rights at home and abroad. Earlier today Hong Kong’s leader Carrie Lam pointed to the unrest in the US as evidence of Washington’s “double standards.” “They attach great importance to the national security of their country but look at our national security through tinted spectacles especially the current situation in Hong Kong” she added. The ability of Washington to influence Beijing’s position on Hong Kong – which is in part founded on fear of outside influence in the city – was already severely limited. The Trump administration’s reaction to protests at home may have hurt its position even further.

    Since India’s independence from Britain in 1947 the status of English in India has been deeply political – entwined with questions of identity power and national direction. Today English is one of several official languages in India spoken by about 10 of the population. Hindi is the first language for around 44 of citizens according to the 2011 census. tripscan войти But in recent years Modi’s BJP has placed particular emphasis on promoting Hindi and reducing the use of English in public life. The prime minister almost never delivers speeches in English preferring Hindi for national addresses such as his monthly radio program. His administration has encouraged officials to use Hindi on social media and in government correspondence – though after criticism from non-Hindi-speaking states clarified that this was intended mainly for the Hindi belt in the north. https://trip-scan.biz tripscan top When India hosted world leaders for the 2023 G20 summit in New Delhi invitations were sent out from “Bharat” – the Sanskrit or Hindi name for the country – instead of “India” fueling speculation that the government aims to ultimately phase out the country’s English designation altogether. Modi’s critics have been quick to note his political motives behind these moves. With its roots in the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh RSS a right-wing organization that advocates Hindu hegemony within India the BJP’s language policies resonate with many in a country where nearly 80 of people are Hindu. Analysts say the BJP is seeking to capitalize on this demographic by promoting language policies that strengthen its support base in the north. According to Rita Kothari an English professor from Ashoka University the government “is certainly interested in homogenizing the country and making Hindi more widespread.” But that policy can also backfire – in part because many regions such as Marathi-speaking Maharashtra in the west – are staunchly proud of their local language. The violent clashes in the state’s megacity Mumbai earlier this month were sparked by the regional government’s controversial decision to make Hindi a compulsory third language in public primary schools. Pushback and protest has also been especially strong in the south where English and regional languages such as Tamil Telugu and Kannada are valued as symbols of local identity and autonomy.

    When Hussain AlMoosawi arrived home he didn’t recognize anything. The Emirati photographer who had spent eight years studying in Australia returned to the United Arab Emirates UAE in 2013. He’d missed a real estate boom of dizzying proportions: not just new buildings but new districts. трип скан More than that the buildings of his childhood were disappearing replaced by shiny new skyscrapers. But for AlMoosawi these international icons were not the urban fabric of his home: it was the oft-overlooked mid-century office towers and residential blocks squeezed between new highways and overshadowed by luxury developments that felt most familiar. It sparked a desire to “understand the urban context of the UAE” and AlMoosawi set out to meticulously document and capture these underappreciated buildings “and reimagine the city as if it were the ‘80s the time when I was born.” https://tripscan36.org трипскан Initially focusing on industrial landscapes temporary structures and air conditioning units he began to notice symmetry in many of the buildings he was photographing inspiring his current project: facades. “Facades are like a face” said AlMoosawi. “It’s something that people connect with.” His bold geometric images strip away context to spotlight the character and diversity of everyday buildings. Using a telephoto lens to shoot close-ups from the ground or elevated positions AlMoosawi carefully frames out distractions and sometimes removes minor obstructions like lampposts in post-processing. So far the 41-year-old who is editor-in-chief for National Geographic AlArabiya Magazine has photographed over 600 building?s across the UAE and next year hopes to complete his collection in Abu Dhabi where he lives. In the long term he hopes to turn the “lifetime project” into an interactive archive that both preserves urban heritage and invites viewers to rediscover their own city. “Our cities aren’t big in terms of scale compared to many other cities” said AlMoosawi. “But then they have a story to tell they have things between the lines that we don’t see and my quest is to see these things.”
