[ad_1] A gut-wrenching war movie from Germany and pitch-black Irish comedy were the big winners as British cinema handed out its annual BAFTA awards on Sunday, with less than a month to go to the Oscars. With 14 nods, German director Edward Berger's All Quiet on the Western Front started the night as the most-nominated foreign-language film in the BAFTA academy's 76-year history. The Netflix drama triumphed with seven awards, including best film and best director for Berger, as well as original score and cinematography, in the buildup to the Academy Awards on March 12.  Berger credited his daughter Matilda for turning his "doubts into trust", after she told him he had to make a movie of Erich Maria Remarque's powerful 1929 novel, which she was reading in school.  Producer Malte Grunert said the British plaudits for a German-language film were "just incredible", and it has also amassed nine Oscar nominations. With a nod to modern-day conflicts i

[ad_1] People who can’t wake up early but work out during lunch hour can celebrate! A new study says that your mid-afternoon exercises may cut the chances of early death more than morning or nighttime workouts. The research, released on February 18 in Nature Communications, examined 92,000 individuals and their demographic and health information from a UK biomedical database. Accelerometers recorded the participants for seven days and tracked when and how hard they worked out. Over several years, researchers examined mortality statistics and discovered that over 3,000 (or 3%) of the participants had passed away, with approximately 1,000 succumbing to heart disease and 1,800 to cancer. Compared to individuals who exercise in the evening and morning, people who worked out in the mid-afternoon had a lower risk of early death, both from heart disease and generally. The results remained the same for those who frequently changed the timings of their workout routine and had "mixed&

[ad_1] In the movie Oppenheimer the eponymous character played by Cillian Murphy says the proposed site for a secret atomic weapons lab in northern New Mexico has only a boys' school and Indians performing burial rites. But there were homesteaders living on that land. In 1942, the US Army gave 32 Hispano families on the Pajarito Plateau 48 hours to leave their homes and land, in some cases at gunpoint, to build the lab that would create the world's first atomic bombs, according to relatives of those removed and a former lab employee. Homes were bulldozed, livestock shot or let loose, and families given little or no compensation, according to Loyda Martinez, 67, who worked as a computer scientist for 32 years at Los Alamos National Laboratory (LANL) and cited accounts from evicted ranching and farming families who are her neighbors in the Espanola Valley. A National Nuclear Security Administration spokesperson said Hispanic farmers were compensated at a significantly lo

[ad_1] Opera isn’t so different from film and television in its glut of streaming platforms — which can be just as challenging, and expensive, to navigate. Established entities like Medici.tv and Met Opera’s On Demand run on subscription models. Deutsche Grammophon’s Stage+ works similarly, and is the only platform for streaming the most recent staging of Wagner’s “Ring” from his home court at the Bayreuth Festival. Building your own digital library of opera on video is more frustrating. The Met , for example, only allows nonsubscribers to rent, but not purchase, individual productions for $4.99. Enter the Naxos label, which has been smartly acquiring the rights to a wide variety of opera productions in recent years and releasing video recordings on DVD and Blu-ray. And now that catalog, which includes shows from Europe’s major houses, is beginning to emerge for digital purchase ($19.99) and rental ($5.99) on Amazon Prime Video. Here are five of Naxos’s best offerings. ‘ Tosca ’

[ad_1] Inside the Museum of Contemporary Art in Denver, little pieces of Antarctica were melting: cross-sections of an ice core from the continent’s Newall Glacier, each one about the size of a beverage coaster and encased in a vacuum-sealed plastic bag. The artist Gala Porras-Kim watched approvingly during a visit in March, pointing out the air pockets that had started to form. “The ice cores are an archive of ancient air, because the air gets stuck in the layers of ice,” she said, pointing at the display during an interview at the museum. This particular core, which Porras-Kim had obtained from the National Science Foundation’s Ice Core Facility in nearby Lakewood, Colo., contained ice that had formed some 10,000 years ago, around the beginning of the Holocene period , in geological terms. Porras-Kim, an interdisciplinary artist who often questions how museums collect material from previous civilizations, was also planning to debut what she called an “ice performance” at the op

[ad_1] This article is part of our Museums special section about how art institutions are reaching out to new artists and attracting new audiences. Any major milestone offers the opportunity for much-needed historical reflection, if not reconsideration. And this year, the 160th anniversary of Abraham Lincoln’s Emancipation Proclamation arrives at a particularly thought-provoking moment for a nation still grappling with the legacies of slavery, Jim Crow and decades of entrenched inequality. Into this dynamic and racially charged atmosphere comes “ Emancipation: The Unfinished Project of Liberation ,” which is on display at the Amon Carter Museum of American Art in Fort Worth. “Emancipation” has its genesis in an intriguing premise: What if an iconic artwork — in this case, sculptor John Quincy Adams Ward’s “The Freedman ” from 1863 — is so historically fraught that it requires an entirely new cultural and aesthetic interpretation for the current era? Initially modeled in plaster a

[ad_1] The picture shows Principal James Marsh running away from black bear. — Facebook screenshot/@Nicholas County Board of Education A school principal started his Monday morning by being startled by a black bear who was sitting inside a dumpster outside a school in West Virginia, United States.  The CCTV footage shows that the school principal was removing a latch from a dumpster when a huge bear jumped outside from the bin and ran away.  Principal James Marsh was trying to remove the bar lock designed to prevent bears from breaking into dumpsters in search of food.  Just when he opens the lock, a black bear scrambles out of the bin, scaring Marsh, and then running away from him. The principal could be seen running from the animal in a different direction.  Marsh could be seen coming back to the school's gate and taking a sigh of relief.  Nicholas County Board of Education posted the CCTV footage on Facebook which has garnered 44,000 views so far.  "Who says pr
