A
Martha Graham, born in 1894, was one of the most famous dancers and creators of dance, whose influence on dance has been compared with the influence Picasso had on the modern visual arts, Stravinsky had on music, or Frank Lloyd Wright had on architecture. She created almost two hundred dance pieces. She is often called the Mother of Modern Dance.
Earlier in her life, however, Martha did not know that she would become a dancer. At that time, the dancers were looked down on. So Martha’s parents didn’t approve of her desire to dance at the beginning. Until 1916, she began her studies at the newly created Denishawn School of Dancing and Related Arts, founded by Ruth St. Denis and Ted Shawn, where Graham worked very hard to improve her ability to dance because she was considered too old to begin dancing.
In 1936, Graham made her defining work, Chronicle, which signaled the beginning of a new era in modern dance. The dance brought serious issues to the stage for the general public in a dramatic manner. Influenced by the Wall Street Crash of 1929, the Great Depression that followed, and the Spanish Civil War, it focused on depression and isolation, reflected in the dark nature of both the set and costumes.
Graham continued to dance past the age of seventy. Once again, she was met with criticism from people who came to watch her shows. But she didn’t give up. Her last completed ballet was 1990’s Maple Leaf Rag. A Dancer’s World is an introduction to Graham and her work. She tells about her dances and her dance group shows some of their methods.
Martha Graham received many awards during her lifetime, including the Presidential Medal of Freedom in 1976. She was the first dancer to receive the country’s highest civilian honor. She died in 1991. In 1998, Time magazine listed her as the “Dancer of the Century” and as one of the most important people of the twentieth century.

“There’s a mistake. Moonlight you guys won best picture. ”
And with those words, producer Jordan Horowitz of La La Land, told the cast and crew of a competing film that it had won the Oscars’ biggest award. Presenters Warren Beatty and Faye Dunaway were given the wrong category’s envelope before they went on stage.
Beatty was clearly confused about what he saw when he opened the envelope, but Dunaway read the name of the film listed below Stone’s name. The actors and producers from La La Land left their seats and filled the stage to accept their Oscar statues. They gave many speeches before Horowitz interrupted. “This is not a joke. Moonlight has won best picture, ”he said. He took the card from Beatty and held it up for the cameras. “Moonlight. Best Picture, ”he said as the camera moved closer.
The show’s host, Jimmy Kimmel, made the best of the situation. He went up to Beatty, and exclaimed “Warren. What did you do? ” Kimmel also said, “Personally, I blame Steve Harvey. ”That was in reference to the mistake Harvey made in 2015 at the Miss Universe pageant. He announced the wrong winner, first saying it was the contestant from Colombia, and then realizing the correct winner was actually from the Philippines.
Once order had been restored, Beatty tried to explain what happened, saying he had been given the wrong envelope. Barry Jenkins is the writer and director of Moonlight. Once he reached the stage, he said “Even in my dreams, this cannot be true. ” Stone, happy to have won the best actress award, later said, “Is that the craziest Oscar moment of all time? Cool! ”
Many people are wondering how the mistake was made. The accounting firm Pricewaterhouse Coopers has been handling Oscar votes for over 80 years without any problems. The firm apologized to all of the people who were made uncomfortable by the mistake. It promised to investigate what caused the error.
Horowitz is being credited for staying calm and stopping the show to correct the error. People are calling him “gracious, ” “a great producer, ” and “classy. ”Even Jenkins said “much respect to that dude. ”

How to Help a Teenager Make Good Decisions
Habitually poor decision-making is common in teenagers. Naturally, such a habit makes parent-teen relationship difficult, especially when a parent wants his teen to do what a “responsible adolescent” would do. 1
●Distinguish real problems from “childish” acts.
2 By making small and harmless mistakes, like a recently-developed habit of careless consuming, a teen learns good decision-making skills on his own via self-correction. Next time, he’ll be more likely to think twice before making his buying decision. 3 More likely, it is out of a real inability to determine what’s best for him.
●Set clear expectations. 4 For example, if your teen refuses to study for his math final because “math is pointless”, explain that you expect him to perform well in school, even in the “pointless” classes. Avoid saying “Let’s just give up on math, then. ”
● 5 Trade insignificant freedoms, such as clothing style for the promise that he’ll live up to academic and family responsibilities. If your teen could realize it, allow him to be himself. Not only does giving up a bit of control solve many conflicts, but the extra freedom you give him can also improve his decision-making.
A. Find a middle ground.
B. Learn to solve problems.
C. Point out your expectations and his responsibilities.
D. A responsible adolescent must have role models to learn from.
E. Don’t think the teen is making bad decisions just to challenge you.
F. Therefore, it’s important to guide them with problem-solving strategies.
G. Teens often make poor decisions simply because they don’t have the experience.

Time and tide wait no man. My mother is becoming a middle-age woman quietly. She had been busy running after us all the years. My father is very busy every day outside.

The view of my mother’s back will never change in my heart.
