Oscars 2019 Highlights in 8 Minutes

The Entire 2019 Oscars Ceremony

Summarised in 8 Minutes

Maya Rudolph   *   Tina Fay   *   Amy Poler

“We’re not your hosts, but we’re going to stand here a little too long so the people who get USA Today will think that we hosted,” Fey said.

“So just a quick update for everybody, in case you’re confused, there is no host tonight, there won’t be a popular movie category and Mexico is not paying for the wall” Rudolph added.

“That’s right, and we won’t be doing awards during the commercials, but we will be presenting commercials during the awards,” Poehler said. “So if all the winners could say, ‘Hellmann’s Mayonnaise, we’re on the side of food’ instead of your speeches, that’d be great.”

This is your one-stop-shop

for all the night’s highlights, winners, speeches and gags.

Chris Evans Proving Chivalry Isn’t Dead

It was a simple gesture, but fitting for Captain America himself.

Chris Evans Helps Regina King To The Oscars Stage, Proving Chivalry Isn’t Dead.  The “Captain America” star lent the actress a hand when her heel got stuck in her dress as she won her first Oscar.

Chris Evans won people’s hearts for acting like a true gentleman with Regina King during the 91st Academy Awards ceremony on Sunday night.

When it looked like the “If Beale Street Could Talk” actress might lose her balance as she walked up to the stage to accept her first Oscar for Best Actress in a Supporting Role, the “Captain America” star came to the rescue.

After King’s name was called as the winner, the 48-year-old actress got her heel stuck in her dress. But Evans, channeling his famous Marvel character, jumped up from his seat and offered her his arm.

Of course, for those who’ve been paying attention, this isn’t the first time Evans has performed the role of courteous usher. In 2015, he escorted the legendary actress Betty White to the stage during the People’s Choice Awards. I mean, look at this gentleman.

Walk in🌳 Central Park

Walk in Central Park

10 unexpected things

By getamericas 

Everybody know Central Park in New York, Get Americas reveal you its little secrets, sometimes unknown from general public for a different walk.

 

A park created by the Man
The 341 hectares of Central Park were conceived during 15 long years by the Man, which makes it the first american park completely conceived. It counts on his own 25 000 trees, 36 little bridges and 9 000 benches.

A park formerly covered of glaciers
The biggest of the glaciers, the Wisconsin Glacier was in Central Park 12 000 years ago, because indeed at this time, the park was ice-covered.

An old past for Central Park
Until 1934, we could again cross sheep having a walk through the park, hence the nickname “Sheap Weadow”. Otherwise, the beautiful grass from this day, “The Great Lawn”, wasn’t previously visible because it was submerged by water having served to supply New York few years ago.

A park rich in culture
In Central Park, we found about thirty sculptures representing poets, writers and fictitious characters, but also the famous Metropolitan Museum of Art containing 2 millions of works of art. We can say that the park abound in cultural treasures. Now, will you pay a bigger attention on these works?

A park decent of a scenery movie
Central Park is a real star, he made its appearance in more than 240 movies since 1908, which makes it the park the most filmed to the world. It’s also in this park that in 1997 took place one of the concerts the most followed to the world of the country singer Garth Brooks with a public of 980 000 person.

A shelter for spectacular animals
You don’t imagine the number of species of animals which you could cross in having a walk at Central Park ; pigeons, cockroaches, rats, squirrels but also crocodiles. In a time, we said that a caiman lived in one of the lakes of the famous park…

The bear and the millipede
Also in touch with animals, few years ago Central Park welcomed the polar bear Gus, the first bear in captivity to have been put under prozac. On the contrary of this impressive animal, in 2002 we discovered that park sheltered one of the smallest centipedes of the world, measuring approximately 12 millimeters.

Street lamps : their unsuspected meaning
We say of these 1 600 street lamps of the park that they are only here to light at nightfall, but at the risk of surprising you, in the day they are used to a quite different thing. Difficult to find itself in this gigantic park isn’t it? If you don’t know where you are, look at the street lamps, the first 2 numbers indicate the number of the closest street, the other 2 numbers refer to the orientation : the East (even numbers) or West (odd numbers).

A fishing trip ?
From april to october, you will have the possibility to share a fishing trip at Harlem Meer. For it, nothing more simple, enroll you at the Charles A. Dana Discovery Center, a fishing rod will be freely lent to you. But watch out ! Don’t count on your fishing to make your meal, because the captures must be released.

Adopt a bench or a tree
For 10 000$, you could acquire one of the 9 000 benches of the park, by graving your name on it. If time presses you and that you don’t have time to sit, you will always have the possibility to adopt a tree…

And now, will you have a walk in Central Park with the same look as before?

Why the French Don't Understand You

Why the French Don't Understand You
 

French people don’t understand you when you speak to them in French? 

Here are 3 very common pronunciation mistakes that are confusing yet so easy to fix! 

 

Virginie Paradis of French Truly TV http://www.frenchtruly.com

 

Alain Sandoz:   Hello Virginie! I'm an English teacher in... Pelussin! I really appreciate your channel 'cause I can "reverse" it for my pupils. By getting them to know how difficult it is to speak French properly, they pay attention to their own English spelling , grammar and vocabulary. So, many thanks to you!!
Mister S (collège G Baty)


Catherine Poirier:  The trick is to learn the french pronunciation of the vowels (especially E and I) and their different combinations (ai, au, eu, oi, ou...) Once you have mastered them, speaking french comes much more naturaly :)

Jeff Math:  A comment at this point: to my mind, the English language pronunciation is complicated as hell !
Why do have some sylllables to be stressed ?
Why should a single vowel contain two sounds ? (english "a" = é-i ; english "i" = a-i ; english "o" = e-u ; english "u" = i-u) Why the hell should the same vowel sound differently depending on the word and the location inside the word ?
Like French people (I am), you English speakers have got troubles with vowels, and that's complicated for the rest of the world !     ;-)

Aindrias Hirt:   There are three main obsticles for English speakers to speak intelligibly in French. The first is that English is a stressed-timed language; French is syllable-timed. So English speakers are timing when they "bark" in an exhalation and French speakers are timing how many syllables they can fit in an exhalation and have a complete thought. So In English you might say, "Dogs chase cats." Each stressed syllable is set about the same time-distance apart. When you add small unstressed syllables, The barking of the three words doesn't change. So you can get, "Some dogs are chasing the cats." So in this sentence, the placement of "Dogs"-"chas"-"cats") is the same as the first sentence. French is more like, "Bam bam bam bam bam bam bam." So English speakers speed up and slow down and bark for no apparent reason when they speak in French because their timing is still in English. The second thing is that for French to make up for this, the language is highly structured in pitch. So the song of French is different than English. The third thing is that the resting place of the languages is very different. This is the dead give away (beside the French /u/). In North American English, the resting/pivot-point is the "Uhhh" sound you say when you don't know what to say. It's in the back of your throat. English speakers always slide back to this point on most unstressed syllables and at the ends of sentences. The French pivot point is the "peu" sound they make when they don't know what to say. This is also said with the back of your tongue up, but the direction of the air flow is almost directed to your top teeth. So if an English native speaker always tried to end every word with "peu" then most mispronunciations can be avoided. So if you say "beauté-um," it sounds wrong, but if you say "beauté-u (French /u/)" you suddenly sound French because the "é" is now in the French place and not the English place.

Cure for Boredom

Healthy Eating When You're Sick!

Healthy Eating
When You're Sick!

1. Chicken and other Clear Broth Soups

This one is probably a no-brainer for many of us, since everyone always associates the cold or flu with chicken soup. The reason that soups are so good for you when you’re sick is that they contain lots of fluid and some sodium that restores much of the fluid you lose after being sick. Chicken serves as a good protein, and noodles are great for giving you energy after you’ve been drained from the cold or flu. 

2. Toast or Crackers

Although toast or crackers may seem like fairly boring foods, it’s best to consume foods that are bland when your stomach is relatively weak. Paired with soup, toast and crackers can add that perfect crunchiness to a uniformly liquid diet.

3. Bananas

Bananas are great when you’re sick because, like toast, it’s easy to digest. Bananas are also easy to chew and they’re loaded with vitamins and, more importantly, potassium, that will give your immune system a very much needed boost to aid your body as it recovers.

4. Cottage Cheese

You’ve likely lost quite a bit of weight when you’ve been sick, and your muscles are probably sore and emaciated. This is why consuming protein is especially important. Easy-to-eat proteins like cottage cheese and eggs are probably your best choices, simply because your stomach and digestive system won’t be able to handle steak and other tougher sources of protein as easily.

5. Fruits High in Vitamin C

The stronger your immune system is, the faster you’ll recover from a bout of sickness, whether it’s a cold, the flu, a stomach virus, etc. High vitamin C intake is absolutely instrumental in strengthening your immune system. While taking vitamin C supplements is good, it’s much better to get vitamin C straight from the source since your body will absorb it better this way. Fruits are usually the best choice. Some examples include oranges, grapefruits, melons, black currants, strawberries, and cherries.

6. Yogurt

Experts suggest that yogurt may be just the thing you need when you are trying to fight off a cold or flu virus. The probiotics that yogurt contains specifically helps to fight disease and create higher white blood cell count. It’s also packed with protein, needs no preparation, and is easily digested by the stomach.

7. Applesauce

Aside from being an absolutely yummy food that reminds you of your childhood and the comforts of home, applesauce is packed with antioxidants and fiber. It also contains many flavonoids, which act as anti-inflammatory agents. This is especially helpful when you are sick, since anti-inflammation can help ease muscle and joint pain from high fevers and lying down all day.

8. Popsicles

Though it may not sound like something particularly healthy, popsicles can serve as the perfect comfort food, which can ease the pain caused by a sore throat. They will also help you get more fluids in your body, since drinking water, Gatorade, or fruit juice all day can become a bit tiring when you’re drinking all day.

Paris avec des Gratte-ciel Comme à Manhattan

Voilà à quoi Ressemblerait Paris

Si la Ville Avait des Gratte-ciel

Comme à Manhattan

L’architecte Luis Fernandes s’est amusé à réaliser des photomontages en incrustant les immenses buildings de New York sur des images de Paris en noir et blanc, datant du début du XXème siècle.

La plupart de ces anciennes photos illustrent la capitale française dans les années 1900 et 1910. Le Paris de cette époque est marqué par la patte architecturale du baron Haussmann depuis un demi-siècle, ainsi que par l’existence encore fraîche du monument qui en sera son symbole au niveau international : la Tour Eiffel.

Quasiment à la même époque, outre-Atlantique, la Grosse Pomme faisait également l’étalage de sa nouvelle grandeur en se posant comme le berceau des gratte-ciel à l’instar de Chicago. Dès lors, Luis Fernandes, architecte de métier, propose une vue inédite du Paris ancien en y incrustant ces grands buildings. Imaginez l’Empire State Building sur la place de la République ou encore la Seine traversant Central Park.

Voici 15 images des buildings de Manhattan dans Paris:

1 – Le Flatiron Building sur la place de la République

2 – L'Arche de la Défense à côté d'un des ponts de Manhattan

3 – L'Arc de Triomphe en plein Manhattan

4 – Le Woolworth building en face de Notre-Dame de Paris

5 – Central Park en plein Paris

6 – Le Flatiron Building sur l'île de la Cité

7 – Vue du toit de l'Arc de Triomphe

8 – L'Opéra Garnier en plein Manhattan

9 – Si l'Empire State Building était sur la place de la République

10 – Notre-Dame de Paris cerné d'immeubles !

11 – Un immeuble, place de Clichy

12 – Le Flatiron Building sur le boulevard Barbès

13 – Un immeuble qui veut faire de l'ombre à la Tour Eiffel

14 – En face de l'Opéra Garnier

15 – Un immeuble sur la place Saint-Michel

16 - Grand building sur la place de l'Opéra

17 - Sur les Champs Élysées

18 - Sur la rue Soufflot, près du jardin du Luxembourg

19 - Le Flatiron Building sur l'île de la Cité, vu de la Seine

20 - Sur la place de la Concorde

 

Impressionnant, n’est-ce pas ?
