Who votes for the Academy Awards?
After the glitzy red-carpet arrivals, the feel-good
montages, and the host’s opening roast, the Oscars
ceremony switches to its raison d’être: revealing the
previous year’s highest achievers in cinema. One after
another, the presenters list the nominees, open a lavish
envelope, and reveal the winner in each category. The
champions breathlessly accept their awards and, over and
over, effusively thank their mothers, God, and the
academy... What is this obscure body? The academy—that
is, the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences—is the
organization that votes for the Oscar winners.
The academy is an exclusive Hollywood institution
that has its own governing body, 17 separate branches, and
a thorough rule book on membership eligibility and voting
processes. Since 2016, when the board announced that it
would diversify its membership, the academy has grown to
about 8,000 members. It doesn’t publicize the names of all
those members, but each spring it releases a list of the
individuals it has invited to join its ranks.
The rest of the academy members are not listed,
but we can guess who a few are by looking at some of the
requirements to join the institution. To qualify, an individual
must work in the film industry. This means that neither
individuals who work exclusively in television nor members
of the press may join. Oscar nominees are often considered
for membership automatically, while other candidates must
be sponsored by two active members of the branch they
wish to join. Each branch also has its own specific
requirements.

Fossils show flying reptiles ate squid and fish
Prehistoric flying reptiles lived on a diet of small fish and
squid, the latest scientific research has shown.
Researcher Dr Roy Smith said stomach contents
discovered in fossils were the "smoking gun" evidence for
the diets.
The findings were made by scientists from the University
of Portsmouth and the Staatliches Museum fur
Naturkunde Stuttgart in Germany and published in the
Journal of Vertebrate Paleontology.
Pterosaurs lived 182 million years ago and had
wingspans of up to 12m (39ft).
The team analysed the fossilised stomach contents of
two pterosaur species, dorygnathus and
campylognathoides.
They lived during the early Jurassic period, and were
found in modern-day south-west Germany.
They found that dorygnathus ate small fish for its last
meal while campylognathoides ate prehistoric squid.
Dr Smith, from Portsmouth University's School of
Environment and Life Sciences, said: "It is incredibly rare
to find 180 million-year-old pterosaurs preserved with
their stomach contents, and provides 'smoking gun'
evidence for pterosaur diets.
"The discovery offers a unique and fascinating glimpse
into how these ancient creatures lived, what they ate, and
the ecosystems they thrived in millions of years ago."
Dr Samuel Cooper, also from the University of
Portsmouth, said the stomach contents told scientists
"how the animals interacted with each other".
He added: "For me, this evidence of squid remains in the
stomach of campylognathoides is therefore particularly
exciting.
"Until now, we tended to assume that it fed on fish,
similar to dorygnathus, in which we found small fish
bones as stomach contents.
"The fact that these two pterosaur species ate different
prey shows that they were likely specialised for different
diets.
"This allowed dorygnathus and campylognathoides to
coexist in the same habitat without much competition for
food between the two species."

Why does Dr. Samuel Cooper find the squid remains in
the stomach of campylognathoides "particularly exciting"?

Maya Angelou (1928-2014) had a broad and distinguished career both inside and outside the literary realm. She is most famous for her work as a poet, memoirist, and civil rights activist, working with Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. and Malcolm X. She also worked in entertainment as a singer, a dancer, an actor, and a director. Her poetry was inspired and informed by her life and work, and this personal connection made her poems profound and powerful. Over the course of a career spanning the 1960s to her death in 2014, she captured, provoked, inspired, and ultimately transformed American people and culture.

Four types of English exist in Africa, identifiable in terms of history, functions, and linguistic characteristics. West African Pidgin English has a history going back to the 15th century, 400 years before formal colonization. Creole varieties of English have a history going back to repatriation of enslaved people from the Caribbean and the United States of America in the 19th century. Second language varieties, which are the most widespread on the continent, are prototypically associated with British colonization and its education systems. L1 (first language) English occurred mostly in Southern and East Africa and is best represented in South Africa. The latter shows significant similarities with the other major Southern Hemisphere varieties of English, spoken in Australia and New Zealand.
