August 4- 10, 2013
THE GOOD
Now You See Me Receiving a Sequel- It has been announced that Lionsgate will be producing a follow-up to May's magician thriller Now You See Me. On just a $75 million budget, Now You See Me has grossed a surprising $115 million from the United States alone. The film could gross up to $275 million worldwide, with releases in China, Australia, and Japan still waiting to happen. No word on whether the cast, director, or writers will return.
Harrison Ford Joins The Expendables 3- Sylvester Stallone has gone to work on gathering a cast for the upcoming The Expendables 3, and his most recent catch is action star Harrison Ford. The news was confirmed by Stallone via Twitter after the removal of Bruce Willis from the movie (more on that later). The movie is set to release on August 15, 2014.
Voice Cast for Future Pixar Films- With three movies set for the next two years, Pixar has announced the voice talent for their upcoming films. 2014's The Good Dinosaur will feature voices from Bill Hader, Neil Patrick Harris, Judy Greer, John Lithgow, and Francis McDormand. 2015's Inside Out will feature voices from Amy Poehler, Bill Hader, Lewis Black, Mindy Kaling, and Phyllis Smith. Also in 2015 will be Finding Dory, which is set to feature Diane Keaton, Eugene Levy, and Ty Burell, as well as Albert Brooks and Ellen DeGeneres in their previous roles.
Ang Lee Developing 3D Boxing Movie- Fresh off a Best Director win at the Academy Awards, Ang Lee has picked his next film project: a 3D film based around the greatest boxing matches of the 1960s and 70s. The script is set to be written by Frost/Nixon writer Peter Morgan. One fight that was specifically mentioned to appear was the legendary boxer Muhammad Ali's face-off with Joe Frazier. No release date has been set.
Superman vs. Batman Casting Continues- Ever since it was announced at 2013 San Diego Comic Con, the tentatively titled Superman vs. Batman has not been able to escape the presses. The news continues with a rumor of director Zack Snyder's top picks to play Batman. Topping the list is Josh Brolin, followed by Max Martini, Richard Armitage, Joe Manganiello, Matthew Goode, and Ryan Gosling. Actors Bryan Cranston and Mark Strong have also been rumored to play Lex Luthor, Superman's primary antagonist. The movie is set for a 2015 release.
Mission: Impossible V Set in Motion- It has been confirmed that director Christopher McQuarrie will be directing the fifth installment of the Mission: Impossible franchise. McQuarrie previously directed 2012's Jack Reacher, where he worked with Mission: Impossible star Tom Cruise. The last Mission: Impossible movie was 2011's Mission: Impossible- Ghost Protocol, helmed by Brad Bird. J.J. Abrams and his Bad Robot production studio are set to produce once again.
THE BAD
Marvel's Movie Plans Reach into Next Decade- With a slew of movies on the horizon, things for Marvel Studios have never looked better. New installments in the Marvel Cinematic Universe include a new Thor and Captain America, as well as Guardians of the Galaxy and Avengers: Age of Ultron. It seems that Marvel has even more plans to continue pumping out movies, with Kevin Feige announcing plans that reach all the way to 2021. Rumors are still circulating that Marvel will develop both a Doctor Strange and a Black Panther movie.
Star Trek 3 Finds a Director- A director for the third Star Trek movie in the alternate universe timeline has been announced, and it is none other than John Chu. The Step Up and G.I. Joe: Retaliation director will be replacing J.J. Abrams, who directed the first two movies. Abrams will still produce with Bad Robot, but his hands are full with the upcoming Star Wars Episode VII. The third Star Trek movie is set for a 2016 release to coincide with the series' 50th anniversary.
THE UGLY
Two Paranormal Activity Movies, One Year- When Paranormal Activity was released in 2007, it instantly created a worldwide phenomena. Three years later, a sequel was released, and since then, there has been a Paranormal Activity movie every year. Paramount took 2013 off, but 2014 will be home to not just one, but TWO Paranormal Activity movies. January 3, 2014 will be the release of a spin-off Paranormal Activity: The Marked One. Then, on October 24, the traditionally titled Paranormal Activity 5 will hit theaters. The movies continue to make big bucks at cinemas, but critical reception has been mostly negative.
Bruce Willis Leaves Expendables 3- As previously mentioned, Harrison Ford joining The Expendables 3 was a result of Bruce Willis leaving the film. It has been reported that Willis turned down the role due to a disagreement with the salary offered to him. Willis was offered $3 million for four days of shooting, but Willis refused unless he was offered $4 million minimum. The disagreement led to Willis leaving production, and Harrison Ford promptly joining the cast.

Young Love: Audition Show / Engagement Ceremony / Visit by Janet's Mom and Jimmy's Dad
Janet Waldo (born February 4, 1924) is an American actress and voice artist with a career encompassing radio, television, animation and live-action films. She is best known in animation for voicing Judy Jetson, Penelope Pitstop and Josie McCoy in Josie and the Pussycats. She was equally famed for radio's Meet Corliss Archer, a title role with which she was so identified that she was drawn into the comic book adaptation.
Waldo appeared in several dozen films in uncredited bit parts and small roles, although she was the leading lady in three Westerns, two of them starring Tim Holt. Her big break came in radio with a part on Cecil B. DeMille's Lux Radio Theater. In her radio career, she lent her voice to many programs, including Edward G. Robinson's Big Town, The Eddie Bracken Show, Favorite Story, Four-Star Playhouse, The Gallant Heart, One Man's Family, Sears Radio Theater and Stars over Hollywood. She co-starred with Jimmy Lydon in the CBS situation comedy Young Love (1949--50), and she had recurring roles on The Adventures of Ozzie and Harriet (as teenager Emmy Lou), The Red Skelton Show and People Are Funny.
However, it was her eight-year run starring as teenager Corliss Archer on CBS's Meet Corliss Archer that left a lasting impression, even though Shirley Temple starred in the film adaptations, Kiss and Tell and A Kiss for Corliss. The radio program was the CBS answer to NBC's popular A Date with Judy. Despite the long run of Meet Corliss Archer, less than 24 episodes are known to exist. Waldo later turned down the offer to portray Corliss in a television adaptation.
In 1948 the Meet Corliss Archer comic book, using Waldo's likeness, published by Fox Feature Syndicate, appeared for a run of three issues from March to July 1948, using the original scripts. The same year, Waldo married playwright Robert Edwin Lee, the writing partner of Jerome Lawrence. The couple had two children, and remained married until his death in 1994.
Waldo made a rare on-screen television appearance when she appeared as Peggy, a teen smitten with Ricky Ricardo on a 1952 episode of I Love Lucy titled The Young Fans with Richard Crenna. Ten years later, Waldo again worked with Lucille Ball, this time playing Lucy Carmichael's sister, Marge, on The Lucy Show. That episode, Lucy's Sister Pays A Visit also featured actor Peter Marshall. She also appeared on an episode of The Andy Griffith Show as Amanda. In addition, Waldo reprised the role of Emmy Lou for some early TV episodes of The Adventures of Ozzie and Harriet. Later, she was the female lead opposite Anthony Franciosa in the short-lived sitcom Valentine's Day (1964).
Shirley Mitchell (born November 4, 1919) is an American film and television actress.
After moving to Chicago, she appeared in the network broadcast of The First Nighter and played small parts in various soap operas including The Story of Mary Marlin and The Road of Life. After moving to Los Angeles, she played opposite Joan Davis in The Sealtest Village Store. She also starred as Louella in The Life of Riley and joined the cast of Fibber McGee and Molly as Alice Darling in 1943. Her most prominent radio role was that of the charismatic Southern belle Leila Ransom on The Great Gildersleeve radio show beginning in September 1942. In 1953, Shirley joined the cast of I Love Lucy playing the part of Lucy Ricardo's friend Marion Strong. As of 2012, she is the only recurring adult cast member still living following the deaths of Doris Singleton in 2012 and Peggy Rea in 2011. In 1962, she played Mrs. Colton on the CBS-TV comedy series Pete and Gladys, and between 1965--1967, she appeared as neighbor Marge Thornton on NBC-TVs Please Don't Eat the Daisies. In the same year she appeared in Episode 13, Season 2 of The Dick Van Dyke Show when she played Shirley Rogers opposite Bob Crane as Harry Rogers in Somebody Has to Play Cleopatra. In 1963, she appeared on the television program The Beverly Hillbillies as Opal Clampett (the wife of Jake Clampett, an out-of-work actor). In 1966, she appeared in Green Acres as a nurse and as Oliver's old friend Wanda. Between 1967 and 1968, she portrayed Kate Bradley's cousin Mae Belle Jennings on Petticoat Junction. In 1968, she appeared in the Season 1 finale of The Doris Day Show as Mrs. Loomis, a woman who accuses Billy of stealing $5.00 from her purse after she dropped it.
In 1972, she was the voice of Laurie Holiday on the Hanna-Barbera cartoon series, The Roman Holidays.
In 1994, Mitchell voiced the Sneetches, cousins, Thidwick's mother and Sue the Second Fish in Storybook Weaver and later in 2004, deluxe version in Storybook Weaver Deluxe.
In 2012, she voiced her guest star as Betty White in MAD episode, Betty White & the Huntsman / Ancient Greek Mythbusters.

Listening is a more natural way of learning, when compared to reading. Written language only began at around 3200 BC, but spoken language has existed long ago.
Learning by listening is a great way to:
- increases imagination and understanding
- improves your listening skills
- improves your own spoken accent
- learn while on the move
- reduce eye strain
Now learn the vast amount of general knowledge available on Wikipedia through audio (audio article). You could even learn subconsciously by playing the audio while you are sleeping! If you are planning to listen a lot, you could try using a bone conduction headphone, or a standard speaker instead of an earphone.

SUMMARY
=======
Brown University is a private Ivy League research university in Providence, Rhode Island, United States. Founded in 1764 as the College in the English Colony of Rhode Island and Providence Plantations, it is the seventh-oldest institution of higher education in the U.S. and one of the nine colonial colleges chartered before the American Revolution.At its foundation, Brown was the first college in the U.S. to accept students regardless of their religious affiliation. Its engineering program was established in 1847. It was one of the early doctoral-granting U.S. institutions in the late 19th century, adding masters and doctoral studies in 1887. In 1969, Brown adopted a New Curriculum sometimes referred to as the Brown Curriculum after a period of student lobbying. The New Curriculum eliminated mandatory general education distribution requirements, made students the architects of their own syllabus and allowed them to take any course for a grade of satisfactory or unrecorded no-credit. In 1971, Brown's coordinate women's institution, Pembroke College, was fully merged into the university; Pembroke Campus now includes dormitories and classrooms used by all of Brown.
Undergraduate admissions is highly selective, with an acceptance rate of 7.2% for the class of 2022. The university comprises the College, the Graduate School, Alpert Medical School, the School of Engineering, the School of Public Health and the School of Professional Studies (which includes the IE Brown Executive MBA program). Brown's international programs are organized through the Watson Institute for International and Public Affairs, and the university is academically affiliated with the Marine Biological Laboratory and the Rhode Island School of Design. The Brown/RISD Dual Degree Program, offered in conjunction with the Rhode Island School of Design, is a five-year course that awards degrees from both institutions.
Brown's main campus is located in the College Hill Historic District in the city of Providence, Rhode Island. The University's neighborhood is a federally listed architectural district with a dense concentration of Colonial-era buildings. Benefit Street, on the western edge of the campus, contains one of the finest cohesive collections of restored seventeenth- and eighteenth-century architecture in the United States.As of August 2018, 8 Nobel Prize winners have been affiliated with Brown University as alumni, faculty members or researchers. In addition, Brown's faculty and alumni include five National Humanities Medalists and ten National Medal of Science laureates. Other notable alumni include eight billionaire graduates, a U.S. Supreme Court Chief Justice, four U.S. Secretaries of State and other Cabinet officials, 54 members of the United States Congress, 56 Rhodes Scholars, 52 Gates Cambridge Scholars 49 Marshall Scholars, 14 MacArthur Genius Fellows, 21 Pulitzer Prize winners, various royals and nobles, as well as leaders and founders of Fortune 500 companies.
