M. Hercule Poirot was a little late in entering the luncheon-car on the following day. He had risen early, had breakfasted almost alone, and had spent the morning going over the notes of the case that was recalling him to London. He had seen little of his travelling companion.

M. Bouc, who was already seated, gated a greeting and summoned his friend to the empty place opposite him. Poirot sat down and soon found himself in the favoured position of being at the table which was served first and with the choicest morsels. The food, too, was unusually good.

DEAR GOD, He act like he can’t stand me no more. Say I’m evil an always up to no good. He took my other little baby, a boy this time. But I don’t think he kilt it. I think he sold it to a man an his wife over Monticello. I got breasts full of milk running down myself. He say Why don’t you look decent? Put on something. But what I’m sposed to put on? I don’t have nothing. I keep hoping he fine somebody to marry. I see him looking at my little sister. She scared. But I say I’ll take care of you. With God help.

Out of control, Bonasera leaned forward toward the aisle and shouted hoarsely, “You will weep as I have wept—I will make you weep as your children make me weep”—the linen at his eyes now. The defense attorneys bringing up the rear swept their clients forward in a tight little band, enveloping the two young men, who had started back down the aisle as if to protect their parents. A huge bailiff moved quickly to block the row in which Bonasera stood. But it was not necessary.

All his years in America, Amerigo Bonasera had trusted in law and order. And he had prospered thereby. Now, though his brain smoked with hatred, though wild visions of buying a gun and killing the two young men jangled the very bones of his skull, Bonasera turned to his still uncomprehending wife and explained to her, “They have made fools of us.” He paused and then made his decision, no longer fearing the cost. “For justice we must go on our knees to Don Corleone.”

"Was it nice there?"

The boa constrictor jabbed its tail at the sign again and Harry read on: This specimen was bred in the zoo. "Oh, I see - so you've never been to Brazil?"

As the snake shook its head, a deafening shout behind Harry made both of them jump.

"DUDLEY! MR. DURSLEY! COME AND LOOK AT THIS SNAKE! YOU WON'T BELIEVE WHAT IT'S DOING!"

Dudley came waddling toward them as fast as he could.

"Out of the way, you," he said, punching Harry in the ribs. Caught by surprise, Harry fell hard on the concrete floor. What came next happened so fast no one saw how it happened - one second, Piers and Dudley were leaning right up close to the glass, the next, they had leapt back with howls of horror.

Harry sat up and gasped; the glass front of the boa constrictor's tank had vanished. The great snake was uncoiling itself rapidly, slithering out onto the floor. People throughout the reptile house screamed and started running for the exits.

As the snake slid swiftly past him, Harry could have sworn a low, hissing voice said, "Brazil, here I come. . . . Thanksss, amigo."

Once Upon a Time... in Hollywood (2019)

9/10

A love letter to a film industry that is no longer recognisable.

dhunjiwadia   7 February 2020

It took Quentin Tarantino a lifetime of living, 5 years to write and 2 hours 41 minutes to watch. This is a love letter to a film industry that is no longer recognisable. Hippies, short skirts, westerns... all have disappeared from our film world. But worry not, Quentin Tarantino is here to remind us of old school film making from a once beloved industry which has been described as being on life support.

The performances are flawless. I was apprehensive about how the events of August 8, 1969 would be handled. But that is handled tastefully and respectfully, yet with the classic Tarantino flair.

The film will be quite a bit for those under 40 who have no recollection of this Hollywood. Some will categorise this as an over-attractive nostalgia trip for film geeks. And they are likely to be correct. But for those of us who complain that Hollywood is reduced to remakes and comic book films, QT delivers a unique and creative viewing experience.

Bit incredulous at the amount of Oscars...

JBLOSS  13 March 2023

Firstly I should say I thought the actors did put in some very good performances and I can see why they were nominated although as to whether they deserved to beat some of their competitors is another matter.

I have to say I found this film to be boring and almost unenjoyable to watch. It feels like a film made for the TikTok generation - no overall coherence with nuggets of scenes rammed together. Is this a film I would ever bother watching again - absolutely not.

Yes it is different - in much the same way The Artist was (and who talks about that film anymore?) but that doesn't make it good. It aims for a strong message while its style is overwhelmingly superficial. It's a film with little artistic quality or dare I say beauty (I am talking about the scenes and cinematography here, not the actors) and it definitely did not move me except to pray it was going to finish.

In short it barely ticks the boxes of what I'd consider to be essential criteria for a great film. Maybe this is the first of a new wave of this type of film and I am not getting it but when it had finished I felt pretty much nothing.

when the quintessential Barbie (Margot Robbie) begins to have unusual thoughts, she is directed by another Barbie (Kate McKinnon) to enter the world of humans address her existential crisis. , chaos happens when Ken (Ryan Gosling) goes along with her on this quest.

Barbie’s production, combined with its costume, art & set design, is pictureperfect, immersing us in the pastel and pink Barbieland with a lot of colourful characters.

Played by an ensemble cast, some are given more to do, others are left in the background. this is by design, it does make some of these characters a bit unnecessary. Margot Robbie reminds us of her incredible depth range as the main character Barbie, is perfectly cast in the lead role. Ryan Gosling is a scenestealer whose Ken is an unlikely brand of a jerk who draws laughs effortlessly, often at his own expense

, the ace in the pack is America Ferrera, who is impressive, especially in one memorable monologue that perfectly captures the complex problem of women’s equality.

How to link sentences?

When sentences are linked, they can have equal importance. We talk about coordination.

Some sentences don't have equal importance. If one sentence has more important information than the other, we talk about subordination

10 Look at the interactive picture and discover a clip about coordination and subordination.

How to recognise coordination and subordination?

Coordination

Coordination is used to combine two sentences of equal importance: each sentence is important and gives information necessary to understand the text.

e.g.: Eric forgot his text. He had to read it from the autocue.

There is a subject and verb in each sentence/clause.

We use a linking word to combine them.

e.g.: Eric forgot his text, and he had to read it from the autocue. Eric forgot his text, so he had to read it from the autocue.

Commonly used linking words: and, but, for, so, or, yet

Subordination

Subordination is used to combine a main sentence with another sentence. We speak of a main clause and a subclause.

e.g.: Eric forgot his text because he was distracted. Main clause subclause

The subclause cannot stand alone! It is dependent on the main clause.

Commonly used linking words: because, even, if, since, until, while, that, etc.

11 Coordination or subordination?

a Tick off whether the sentences use coordination or subordination

b Highlight the linking words that tell you so.

1 Mum was running late, so she took a taxi to work.

2 He didn’t eat at school because he forgot his lunch.

Confirmation of her talent came with I, Tonya, the rollercoaster life story of Tonya Harding, the fallen figure skating champion of the 80s and 90s who was the first American woman to complete a triple axel at a major competition.

It's as if everything this stunning blonde touches turns to gold!

“I have always been fascinated by the movies. Once I graduated from high school, my parents forced me to study law. They wanted me to become a lawyer! I was very capable and I think I could have worked wonders in a courtroom, but I couldn't see myself pursuing a career in law. So, I dropped everything and had just one goal: to travel. The ultimate goal of my journey was to unpack my bags in Hollywood and stay there, but to do that you had to earn a living. I worked in a surf shop for two years. I then worked as a babysitter and making sandwiches for Subway. What else? Oh yes, I worked in a grocery shop, then a pharmacy. Then I was a waitress and a cleaner. But don't think that I came to the United States without any artistic training. I learnt the business from coaches for two years. I had to get rid of my Australian accent, Crocodile Dundee-style. In short, there was a lot going on!” (laughs)

“That I spend all my time lying on a yacht and spend my nights in the most stylish and exclusive parts of the world. I wish that were true! I will tell you the reality of MY experience as an actress. Most of the time I have to stay in my studio trailer reading my script and learning my lines. I also spend a lot of time sitting in a car park while make-up artists and hairdressers come to get me ready to perform for the cameras. There's nothing glamorous about it, you know! There's a big misconception about acting. Many people imagine that we get out of bed all glamorous and beautiful. Oh, if only that were true! One day I met a fan who asked me if I had staff working for me at home. When I told her that I cleaned the floors, polished the cutlery and did my own washing, she didn't believe me!

Even today I’m portrayed as a blonde with a pretty smile. The implication being there’s nothing going on in her head! I think that misconception will be around for a while longer.”

“I'm not an image, I'm a person. In answer to your first question, I feel that I'm a very lucky actress. It was the media that labelled me a 'star'. Not me. The result is that people's perception is distorted. No, I should point out that I don't eat bucketfuls of caviar every day! I'm not being disingenuous when I tell you that I do my shopping at the supermarket or that I take the bins out myself. I'm a simple girl. There is a tendency to focus on form more than substance. I am aware that appearance is crucial in Hollywood. But I also tried not to be pigeonholed. You know, in my profession there is a tendency to ‘categorise’ actresses. The blonde, the tall one, the sporty one, the smart one, the funny one, etc.

We mustn't allow ourselves to get pinned. I sincerely hope it was acting skills and not my physical appearance that caught the eye of the producers. On the other hand, I'm not a fool!” (laughs)

“I meet lots of young girls and I tell them there's no point in going faster than the music, skipping steps. I think that every stage of life shapes you and it's important not to rush anything. When you are 12 years old, for example, you shouldn't try to grow up at all costs to look like someone else, especially an actress. This business can bring you great rewards, great satisfaction, but you mustn't forget that before you break through, you have to overcome rejection. You go to a lot of auditions hoping to get a role and most of the time they don't pick you. It makes you start to doubt your talent, your ability. It's only those who don't throw in the towel that break through eventually. That's not only true of the film industry.”

“For a while there was a drone that would hover over my house. I couldn't figure out why. Until a friend explained to me that it was the paparazzi. (…) Fortunately, during the loooooong wait, there's also WhatsApp or Skype to call my family in Australia!”

“All I know is that when it hits you the first time, it's like riding the wave of a tsunami. Some people manage to keep their balance throughout their lives. Others lose it and end up disappearing under the waves forever. You need to have inner strength and know how to follow the bubbles that will take you back to the surface. But few people in Hollywood manage to float. In any case, if a psychic had predicted ten years ago that I would one day arrive on the crest of the wave, I wouldn't have paid him for his consultation. Maybe I’d have even called him a liar!”

“I don't think it affects them in a negative way. My family has always supported me. They are all delighted that I have succeeded in this business where, as you know, there are very few chosen ones!”

“I've always thought that women have a muscle that men haven't always been able to use properly; it's the muscle between our ears called the brain! You know, that spongy thing that allows you, in theory, to coordinate your movement and think!”

What Are Protest Songs And How Do They Impact Change?

proefversie©VANIN

Social change and political expression have always had their place in music. Often, artists use their creative talent to send a controversial message that they relate to In this article, we will take a look at the place protest songs have in music and their influence on culture.

After taking a closer look at what protest music is, we will discuss some of the most famous protest songs and the messages behind them.

What Is Protest Music?

Protest music is music that aims to send out social messages and inspire change (associated with a movement for social change or other current events through music). It often uses the popularity of the artist to bring more attention to a particular problem. Whether it’s songs about the world, police brutality, or even Donald Trump… there are plenty of issues that get addressed through art and music, such as popular protest songs. to relate to: To be able to understand a situation or someone’s feelings.

What Impact Do Protest Songs Have?

Throughout history, protest songs have given people the inspiration to stand up against those who mistreat them. Martin Luther King Jr said, “freedom songs serve to give unity to a movement”. The revolutions in North Africa and the Middle East have been inspired by rap music, which the authorities tried to forbid, pointing again to the potential of political music to effect social change. However, the inevitable question that comes up when considering protest music is whether it really matters. Does it make a difference?

What Are The Best Protest Songs Ever?

Well, it’s hard to say as there are so many famous protest songs! However here are 2 of our top protest songs.

Bob Marley – Get Up Stand Up (1973)

Get up Stand Up is an overtly political song. Bob Marley is best known for being the most prominent Reggae musician of all time, for smoking a lot of marijuana, and for his political protest songs. And this track owns the best lines in political protest music history: “You can fool some people sometimes, but you can’t fool all the people all the time. So now we see the light! We gonna stand up for our rights!”

Bruce Springsteen – Born In The USA (1984)

This song was mistaken as a positive American anthem for years and still is today by many. Ronald Reagan even used this song in his 1984 re-election campaign and tried to claim Bruce as a supporter!

Lyrically the song takes a realistic approach to the effects of the Vietnam war on those who were forced to go fight in Southeast Asia. But if you manage to only listen to the chorus, it can be seen as a patriotic anthem. The song’s lyrics are about a shell-shocked vet with ‘no place to run, nowhere to go.’ Bruce once said it’s about “a working-class man… It’s like he has nothing left to tie him into society anymore. He’s isolated from the government. Isolated from his family… to the point where nothing makes sense.” It’s not an overtly political protest song, but it’s way closer to that than a national anthem.

overtly: publicly or in an obvious way and not secret prominent: very well known and important

OPPENHEIMER

3h 0m

History, Drama, Biography

Directed by: Christopher Nolan

This is a complex look at a complicated man, but Oppenheimer establishes that this is a story worth telling.

Everything about Christopher Nolan’s latest film is massive. The level of shock and admiration is breathtaking, but it can also be taxing.

Well acted and educational but extremely long and boring.

If the Hollywood we know is ending, then Oppenheimer is the ideal film to finish us all.

A historical biopic that you'll want to see again asap, even if it doesn’t all work on the first viewing.

A film that you don’t merely watch, but must reckon with.

Now her mother was calling to her, and Tina decided to move out of the sun, back from the water, to the of the palm trees. In this part of the beach, the palm trees overhung a gnarled tangle of mangrove roots, which blocked any attempt to penetrate inland. Tina sat in the sand and kicked the dried mangrove leashes. She noticed many bird tracks in the sand. Costa Rica was famous for its birds. The guidebooks said there were three times as many birds in Costa Rica as in all of America and Canada. In the sand, some of the three-toed bird were small, and so they could hardly be seen. Other tracks were large and cut deeper in the sand. Tina was looking idly at the tracks when she heard a chirping, followed by a rustling in the mangrove thicket. Did sloths make a chirping sound? Tina didn’t think so, but she wasn’t sure. The chirping was probably some ocean bird. She waited quietly, not moving, hearing the rustling again, and finally she saw the of the sounds. A few yards away, a lizard emerged from the mangrove roots and peered at her.

Tina held her breath. A new animal for her list! The lizard stood up on its hind legs, on its thick tail, and stared at her. Standing like that, it was almost a tall, dark green with brown stripes along its back. Its tiny front legs ended in little lizard fingers that wiggled in the air. The lizard cocked its head as it looked at her.

Tina thought it was cute. Sort of like a big . She raised her hand and wiggled her fingers back. The lizard wasn’t frightened. lt came toward her, walking upright on its hind legs.

It was hardly bigger than a chicken, and like a chicken it bobbed its head as it walked. Tina thought it would make a wonderful pet. She noticed that the lizard left three-toed tracks that looked exactly like bird tracks. The lizard came closer to Tina. She kept her body still, not wanting to the little animal. She was amazed that it would come so close, but she remembered that this was a national park. All the animals in the park would know that they were . This lizard was probably . Maybe it even expected her to give it some food. Unfortunately, she didn’t have any. Slowly, Tina extended her hand, palm open, to show she didn’t have any food. The lizard paused, cocked his head, and chirped. “Sorry,” Tina said. “I just don’t have anything.” And then, without warning, the lizard jumped up onto her outstretched hand. Tina could feel its little toes pinching the of her palm, and she felt the surprising weight of the animal’s body pressing her arm down. And then the lizard scrambled up her arm, toward her face.

HOW TO recognise coordination and subordination?

Coordination

Coordination is used to combine two sentences of equal importance: each sentence is important and gives information necessary to understand the text.

proefversie©VANIN

e.g.: Eric forgot his text. He had to read it from the autocue.

There is a subject and verb in each sentence/clause.

We use a linking word to combine them.

e.g.: Eric forgot his text, and he had to read it from the autocue. Eric forgot his text, so he had to read it from the autocue.

Commonly used linking words: and, but, for, so, or, yet

Subordination

Subordination is used to combine a main sentence with another sentence. We speak of a main clause and a subclause.

e.g.: Eric forgot his text because he was distracted. Main clause subclause

The subclause cannot stand alone! It is dependent on the main clause.

Commonly used linking words: because, even, if, since, until, while, that, etc.

HOW TO do an interview

1 How to do an interview:

proefversie©VANIN

1 Research your topic and interviewee (know who you are interviewing, and what he/she does).

2. Prepare your questions up front (try to ask WH-questions instead of yes – no questions). Come up with a list of good ones!

3. What type of interview/article do you want to write?

a Narrative essay interview: it shows the interview from a particular point of view (yours or the interviewee). It considers emotional aspects, and requires a story-like format.

b Question-answer interview: this features dialogue. When interviewing one or more related people, use this format.

c Personal interview: the tone can be formal or informal, written in the first or second person.

4 Do your interview (make notes while asking questions or record the conversation).

5 Arrange your information: put it in the correct order to create a good flow when writing/reading the interview.

6 Write out your interview: check your grammar and spelling. Rephrase and polish!

7 Review and proofread: did you mention everything? Is it logically structured? Are there still spelling or grammatical errors?

2 How to structure an interview?

1 Use titles and subtitles: subtitles organize the interview in sections. It makes it easier to follow.

2 Start with an introductory paragraph: provide context about the interviewee and the topic.

3 Include visual elements, such as a photograph of the interviewee.

4 Q&A format: highlight key quotes. This breaks up the text and makes it visually appealing.

5 Text flow: break up lengthy texts with visuals.

6 Conclusion: conclude the interview with a brief summary, or end with a powerful closing statement.

7 Layout design:

- Whitespace: use it to avoid clutter, and to make the layout visually appealing.

- Font choice: select a readable font.

Getting Tattooed & Eating Human Ashes: 6 Strange 'Addictions'

Many people get cravings for a cigarette or a glass of wine. But what about a potent desire to get tattooed or eat human ashes?

Merriam-Webster defines an addiction as "a strong and harmful need to regularly have something (such as a drug), or do something (such as gamble)," or "an unusually great interest in something, or a need to do or have something." But there are things that people develop cravings for that psychologists may not recognize as true addictions. Although these fixations are not in the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM), we've dug up a few of the perhaps stranger obsessions people have been known to have. (Note: don't try these at home.)

potent: very powerful or effective to develop: to grow or change into a stronger form

a tendency: If someone has a tendency to do something, they will probably do it. nutritional: relating to food and drinks deficiency: not having enough of something anemia: a medical condition in which there are not enough red blood cells in the blood

Have you ever had a friend who loved to chew ice? Well, the tendency to compulsively chew and consume excessive amounts of ice actually has a name: Pagophagia. The habit is a form of pica, a condition that comes with a tendency to eat non-food items that have no nutritional value, such as clay, ground or paper. Chewing ice may be a sign of iron deficiency, anemia, according to the Mayo Clinic. Less often, pica can be a sign of emotional problems, such as stress, or obsessive-compulsive disorder

Eating human ashes

A woman who eats the ashes of her cremated husband is just one of the people with an unusual obsession who was profiled on the TV series "My Strange Addiction," which airs on TLC. The woman in the episode, named Casie, was apparently so saddened by her husband's death that she carried an urn of his ashes everywhere she went. One day, some of the ashes got on her finger, and rather than dust them off, she decided to lick them. Since then, she has consumed about a pound of her husband's remains, according to TLC.

Tanning

Everyone enjoys a sunny day at the beach, but the reason for some people's enjoyment may have a darker side. Tanning – whether outside, or in tanning booths – may actually be addictive, according to researchers at The University of Texas Medical Branch, Galveston. The scientists published a study in 2005 in the journal Archives of Dermatology that found that up to 53 percent of beachgoers met the diagnostic criteria to be classified as "ultraviolet light tanning-dependent."

The addiction may be based on the fact that when the body is exposed to ultraviolet (UV) light, it produces mood-boosting chemicals called endorphins, the researchers said. Another study by researchers at Wake Forest University Baptist Medical Center found that people who tan eight to fifteen times a month experience withdrawal symptoms when they are deprived of UV-light. But studies show that tanning poses a health risk, because exposure to UV light is linked to developing skin cancer.

Getting tattoos

One in five U.S. adults has a tattoo, according to a 2012 Harris poll. While the behavior rarely crosses over into a true addiction, many people say there's no such thing as just getting one tattoo. Some people may crave the endorphins that the body releases in response to the pain of going under the needle; others may use the physical pain as a psychological distraction from their emotional pain, according to wiseGEEK.org.

Internet addiction

proefversie©VANIN

Yes, you might have this one. Internet addiction disorder, also known as problematic internet use or compulsive internet use, refers to people using a computer excessively — whether it be for gaming, social media or pornography — a usage that interferes with daily life. Studies estimate that approximately 9 million Americans could be labelled as "pathological computer users, addicted to the internet to the detriment of work, study, and social life," according to a 2009 report published in the journal CyberPsychology & Behavior.

to air: to broadcast, to show on TV to deprive: to take something, especially something necessary or pleasant, away from someone to interfere with: to involve yourself in a situation when your involvement is not wanted or is not helpful to estimate: to guess or calculate the cost, size, value, etc. of something pathological: unable to control a part of your behaviour a detriment: causing harm or damage to one hundred and fifty-four

Drinking air freshener

Another episode of "My Strange Addiction" featured a woman named Evelyn, who is addicted to drinking air freshener. The 20-something woman from Missouri spritzes the cleaning mist into her mouth up to 50 times a day and goes through 20 cans of air freshener a week, the Washington Post reported. The habit began when an automatic air freshener dispenser in her house accidentally sprayed onto Evelyn's drinking glass as she was walking past, and she found she liked the taste. Her favorite flavor is "fresh linen", she said.

All The Times Celebrities Have Spoken Out About Addiction Struggles

Addiction plagues the lives of millions every day. Whether it be the seduction of your smartphone or, on a more serious note, a dependency on an illicit substance, addiction is at the core of the human condition — and it doesn’t discriminate either. While fame and fortune may be an extraordinary gift to any lifestyle, many in Hollywood give in to alcoholism and substance abuse to ease the overwhelming pressures of everyday life. Below, some of the celebrities who have openheartedly discussed the details of their own addictions.

Brad Pitt

Brad Pitt has revealed he spent a year in Alcoholics Anonymous following his divorce from Angelina Jolie, and that he has "removed" his "drinking privileges" as a result. The Once Upon a Time in Hollywood star told The New York Times, "I had taken things as far as I could take it, so I removed my drinking privileges." He then went on to explain what AA was like: "You had all these men sitting around being open and honest in a way I have never heard. It was this safe space where there was little judgment, and therefore little judgment of yourself."

In May 2017, Pitt admitted to GQ that he couldn't remember a day "since college" when he hadn't smoked marijuana. "I was boozing too much. It’s just become a problem", he said. "I can’t remember a day since I got out of college when I wasn’t boozing, or had a spliff, or something," he said. "I mean, we have a winery. I enjoy wine very, very much, but I just ran it to the ground. I had to step away for a minute."

He continued, "Truthfully, I could drink a Russian under the table with his own vodka. I was a professional. I was good."

a dependency: an inability to stop doing something harmful, or using something harmful, especially a drug illicit: illegal

Demi Lovato has always been brutally honest with their fans about all aspects of their life, especially their addiction. In their 2017 documentary, Simply Complicated, the singer shed light on the depth of their fight with substance abuse, and their multiple health disorders.

"I wasn't ready to get sober", Demi says of their 2012 relapse. "I was sneaking [cocaine] on planes, I was sneaking it in bathrooms, sneaking it throughout the night... I went on a bender of like, two months, where I was using it daily.

"I would sneak out and get drugs; I would fake my drug tests with other people's pee. There was one night when I used a bunch of coke and I popped a few Xanax bars, and I began to choke a little bit. My heart started racing, and I thought to myself, 'Oh my God, I might be overdosing right now."

In 2018 Lovato celebrated six years of sobriety, however, has relapsed since.

The Weeknd

Before finding fame, Abel Tesfaye- aka The Weeknd- admits he found comfort in drugs, such as ketamine, cocaine, MDMA, mushrooms and cough syrup, as a way to escape the reality of his childhood.

"When I had nothing to do but make music, it was very heavy. Drugs were a crutch for me," he told The Guardian. "There were songs on my first record that were seven minutes long, rambling – whatever thoughts I was having when I was under the influence at the time. I can’t see myself doing that now."

Lady Gaga

Lady Gaga has never been shy about her drug use, often admitting that she has been "addicted to various things" since she was young. She couldn’t do without. After undergoing surgery in February 2013, the singer admitted she became addicted to marijuana, smoking 15 to 20 cigarettes a day with no tobacco, in order to ease the pain from her hip injury.

"I was living on a totally other psychedelic plane, numbing myself completely, and looking back I do see now that some of it had to do with my hip pain", Gaga told the Elvis Duran and The Z100 Morning Show.

"I didn’t know where the pain was coming from, so I was just in a lot of pain and very depressed all the time and not really sure why."

The ultimate hoarders: Extraordinary story of two reclusive brothers found dead side by side under tons of junk in New York mansion in 1947

a What do you think this article is about? What might have happened? Discuss in class.

b The newspaper article has been torn into pieces. Put the story in the correct order and write the correct number above each paragraph.

The brothers' story began at the beginning of the 20th century but ended in 1947 when they died side-by-side buried under piles of rubbish that had accumulated in their Manhattan row house. Homer, the older of the two, was blind and was cared for by younger brother Langley at their house in Harlem. Langley believed his brother's sight could be restored with a diet high in vitamin C so he fed Homer 100 oranges a week. In the meantime, Langley began keeping years' worth of newspapers so his brother could read them once his sight had been restored. What started as a well-meaning but misguided gesture escalated over the years into an outof-control collection that engulfed their home, and the brothers became recluses, prisoners in their own house.

More than 100 tons of rubbish - including more than 25,000 books - was eventually removed from the house, with the authorities discovering an astonishing array of bizarre items collected by the Collyer brothers. Among them were pickled human organs, hundreds of yards of unused silk and fabric, the folding top of a horse-drawn carriage and the chassis of an old Model T.

reclusive: living alone and avoiding going outside or talking to other people to accumulate: to collect something over a period of time to engulf: to surround and cover something or someone completely

It might seem like a relatively new - and bizarre - phenomenon; extreme hoarders who fill their houses so full of clutter that their bodies lay undiscovered for, sometimes, weeks after their death. However, two brothers in 1940s New York arguably set the gold standard in stockpiling junk when they died entombed in their own clutter. Homer and Langley Collyer were killed by one of the many booby traps they had set to deter outsiders, but their bodies were hidden by tons of garbage and were not found for weeks.

proefversie©VANIN

The extent of the brother's junk collecting finally came to a head in March 1947 when the authorities received a tip-off that someone had died in the property. At first, it was near-impossible to gain entry to the house. Tons of debris - including old newspapers, phonebooks and furniture boxes - were slowly removed from the front foyer but rescuers found themselves blocked out by walls of rubbish. It wasn't until a patrol officer broke a window on the second floor and climbed through that the first body was discovered, the Unclutterer website reported. After two hours spent climbing through junk and debris, the body of Homer was found lying among boxes and trash. However, his younger brother was nowhere to be seen. A massive hunt was launched, with the authorities searching places as far away as Atlantic City in a bid to find the missing brother.

Homer and Langley Collyer were killed by one of their own junk booby traps. They were crushed and buried by the collapsing debris inside their house.

However, three weeks later it dawned on them he had been under their noses all along, according to Unclutterer. The body of Langley was found just ten feet away from where his older brother had died, but he too was buried under tons of debris. The authorities discovered that Langley had actually been the first to die, killed by one of the many booby traps he had set up to deter outsiders from coming inside the house of junk. He had been bringing food to his older brother when the debris collapsed on top of him, crushing him to death.

10 digital detox tips for teens (and the rest of the family)

If your child's addiction to their phone is worrying you, you're not alone. By the age of 14, the average child will have sent more than 35,000 texts and 30,000 WhatsApp messages, and racked up more than three weeks of video chat. They will have also spent the equivalent of six months looking at their phone, averaging 135 minutes of use a day.

While it's inevitable that your teen will overuse their phone, you can help them navigate usage with clear boundaries, rules, and by setting a healthy example. Here's everything you need to know about a digital detox for your teens.

What is a digital detox?

A digital detox is simply taking a break from digital devices for a set period of time. It could be for a few hours a day, a whole day, or even one weekend a month. The aim is to get a break from screen time to create healthier digital habits, and less smartphone dependence

equivalent: the same amount inevitable: certain to happen and unable to prevent a boundary: the limit dependence: the situation you need something all the time

Why digital detox?

Even though teens love their phones, they are also a constant source of anxiety for them. The continuous messaging, the FOMO, and the lure of social media all means phones keep teens hyper-vigilant to notifications and messages. This means many cannot find a way to disconnect, even when they want to, and this is where a digital detox can come in handy.

Of course, the idea of no phones may send them into a spiral of panic, but ultimately regular detoxes (see below) will help them to know that they can live without their phone, feel better without always having to check their phone, and that nothing will happen if they switch off for a while.

How smartphones hinder teenagers

Here are just some of the ways that phones can sometimes be more of a negative rather than a positive to teenagers:

• Phones can distract teens from school

Having their phone on them at school can mean that teenagers aren’t as fully engaged as they should be. The lure of emailing, texting, playing games, and checking their social media accounts can mean they’re constantly glancing at their phone and not paying attention in class. At home, phones can also provide the same distraction when it comes to studying and doing homework.

• Using smartphones can interfere with sleep

Teens need sleep for emotional and physical health, as well as for better memory and focus at school. Research shows that 57% of teens who use technology at bedtime have problems sleeping. Exposure to blue light, constant notifications, and watching entertainment, or playing games, can keep teen brains active, and delay or interrupt their sleep.

• Teens may neglect face-to-face time

Connecting in the real world is important for making and maintaining relationships with friends and family. Using phones can mean teens neglect giving enough time to face-to-face interactions, or are distracted when you do try to talk or connect with them.

Here are the top 10 digital detox tips:

1

proefversie©VANIN

one hundred and seventy-two

Have a family chat about disconnecting, discussing who finds it hard to do. Also, talk about how everyone feels when they've been on their phones too long. Then get each person to come up with an idea on how to limit screen time. For example, no phones for an hour before bed and/or first thing in the morning before school.

2

No phone areas in the house can help with a digital detox as it means you use your phone more consciously (unlike passive scrolling just because your phone is there). Try making all bedrooms no phone areas after 9 pm, or having the dinner table always as a no phone zone.

3

Once a month, have a digital detox day for everyone. Prep your teen for this and stay firm. Living without phones, even for a day, is hard for teens addicted to connection, so be sure to distract them with activities and tasks that keep them busy.

4

No teen will digitally detox if they see you on your phone 24/7. Even if you use your phone for work, model good behaviour around phone use, and follow your own rules.

5

Your teen probably isn't the only one who needs help unplugging. So set digital detox goals for the family, and build in rewards. For example, have everyone log their screen time report at the end of the week and let the family member with the most significant improvement choose a family night out.

6

Try a digital detox app like Offtime or AppDetox, which block a selected number of apps or incoming calls. Set the timer for a number of hours, then go about your day with fewer distractions from your phone.

7

proefversie©VANIN

A push notification is an automated message sent by an app to a user when the app is not open. It could be about a sale, a game, or a new social media post. Encourage your teen to disable push notifications; this not only improves concentration but lowers stress as they won't constantly be distracted. The goal is to show your teen how to use their device intentionally instead of letting every alert pull them into their phone.

8

Getting your teen involved in an area that focuses their attention in the real world is a covert digital detox. Sport is a natural choice, and so is drama, dance, music, arts, and volunteering. Talk

9

Researchers say that even having a phone in the same space can make us want to pick it up — it's known as 'the iPhone effect'. So make your teen's digital detox easier by choosing an out-of-sight drawer or bowl to store technology when detoxing (and turn the phone off).

10

It's so easy to slip with digital detox rules and think to yourself, "just for today, I'll allow phones at the mealtimes", BUT if you want the detox to become part of your teen's life, be consistent, and stick to the rules even when you don't want to.

RUNNING FROM MYSELF

At that point, I decided to seek out harder drugs. And it was definitely a conscious choice. I was desperate to find something that gave me the same sense of relief pot had once given me. I felt like I couldn't exist without drugs.

I tried everything—hallucinogens, prescription drugs like Vicodin and OxyContin, ecstasy, cocaine. I kept chasing that more confident and stronger version of myself who felt less alone. Sometimes the drugs would work for a while, but then the feeling would slip away again. It wasn't until I tried crystal meth that I thought I'd finally found "the one."

Now, thanks mostly to Breaking Bad—a TV show about a high school chemistry teacher who became a meth cook— everybody's heard of crystal meth and knows how dangerous it is. But back in the late nineties, when I first did it, I had never heard of it. So, when my friend offered me some speed (also known as meth), I took it without thinking.

As soon as that drug hit me, I felt a rush of elation—not just from the drug, but from feeling like this was what I'd been looking for my whole life. lt was better than those first hits of pot, better than everything. I felt super confident, super strong. I felt like a real-life superhero. Just like that, I was addicted.

Once I started doing crystal meth my life spiralled out of control in a flash. Meth made me arrogant, crazy, and fixated on more, more, more. I was like an animal, reduced to one need: to get high. Nothing else mattered. I broke into houses, stole money. I even stole from my little brother's piggy bank.

My parents kicked me out of the house. I ended up homeless, living in a park in San Francisco. I ate out of garbage cans, got food from soup kitchens. I did things I'd never imagined doing to get money. And I kept using. I couldn't stop.

Until I had a really bad scare. I woke up in the hospital with a tube down my throat, having been on life support after an overdose. Terrified, I went into rehab and managed to stay sober for a year and a half.

Only, I had never learned how to live sober. I was a complete emotional mess. The one thing that maybe saved my life is that I wrote. I come from a family of writers and have written ever since I was little. Even strung out and living on the streets, I wrote. I'd cram into the back of some burned-out car with other kids and stay up all night, writing in my notebook while they slept, trying to get my story down, to make sense of the chaos of my life.

to seek out: to look for conscious: knowing what is happening around you desperate: needing something very much relief: a feeling of happiness that something unpleasant has not happened elation: a state of extreme happiness strung out: experience the strong effects of drugs to cram: to force a lot of things in a small place

I wrote when I was sober, too, and miraculously, I connected with this editor at a publishing house who felt I had a story to tell. I'd write chapters, and she'd like them and ask for more. Eventually, I got a book deal.

At the time, it felt to me that writing a book would make my whole life worthwhile. So, I finished about half of it, and I received a small chunk of money that felt like a huge chunk of money. I felt on top of things for the first time in forever.
