Musée Ghibli, un voyage chez Totoro Le studio Ghibli est un mythe pour certains, totalement inconnu pour d'autres. Pour faire simple, son créateur emblématique, Hayao Miyazaki est considéré comme le Walt Disney japonais et est régulièrement cité comme source d'inspiration par les producteurs de Pixar, qui admirent tout autant sa réussite que sa créativité. Fondé en 1985, le studio a réalisé dix-neuf long métrages dont certains sont encore totalement inédits en France. La France qui a d'ailleurs, comme le reste du monde occidental, mis un certain temps avant de donner sa chance aux films Ghibli. Pour exemple, le film "Mon voisin Totoro" est sorti dans les salles françaises en 1999 soit onze ans après sa sortie au Japon. "Kiki la petite sorcière" nous est même arrivée avec encore plus de retard, quinze ans ! Depuis quelques années cependant, et avec le succès grandissant, les productions Ghibli ont considérablement réduit l'écart entre leur sortiedans leur pays d'origine et la France notamment. Voila pour le petit récapitulatif.

The Soong sisters: Women of influence in 20th Century China 11 October 2012 Last updated at 23:57 GMT By Carrie Gracie BBC News, Beijing There will be no women at the helm of China's Communist Party when the leadership is reshuffled next month, but there are many more opportunities for women in today's China than there were 100 years ago. Then the only way to achieve influence was to marry it - and three sisters from one family showed how. On one bank of the Huangpu river in Shanghai stands a forest of steel and glass skyscrapers, but on the other - colonial splendour. A century ago, foreigners unpacked a whole new fascinating way of life on the docks here. From Western ships came bicycles, engine parts and young Chinese with a vision of modernity - adventurers like Charlie Soong who had been out to see the world and had come back with ideas about revolution and the role of women. A Bible publisher and pillar of Shanghai society, Charlie had sons, and in any earlier generation he'd have ignored his daughters. Money was no object. “ Start Quote

Other INFO:-) 20 online dating cliches - and what they really mean 6 January 2014Last updated at 19:31 ET By Clare Spencer BBC News Magazine January is a boom month for the online dating industry as millions turn to the internet to find love. But composing a profile that makes you sound fascinating and unique is harder than it sounds. Post-Christmas to the Wednesday after Valentine's Day is the peak season for dating websites, according to Plenty of Fish's Sarah Gooding. In the process, millions of people will try to summarise their characters in just a few paragraphs. I'm new to this, so here goes... This betrays its author's discomfort about using an internet dating site, says William Doherty, professor of family social science at the University of Minnesota. For him, it shows that there is still a stigma to online dating. "When people are in a setting where they feel there's some stigma, they like to talk as if they are unfamiliar with it," he says.

Ingush elders recall the horror of deportation 24 February 2014Last updated at 19:21 ET By Alison Gee BBC World Service Isa Khashiyev with the Koran and daggers his family hid during their 13 years in exile Seventy years ago, in February 1944, nearly half a million Chechen and Ingush people were herded into cattle trucks and forced into exile in remote parts of the Soviet Union. It's estimated that more than a third of them died before they were allowed back 13 years later. "At dawn, five soldiers entered each house and took all the men away - anyone over the age of 14.

#3 - Un des moyens pour partir : le Working Holiday Le visa Working Holiday (ou Visa vacances-travail de son petit nom de chenapan) est un visa très méconnu bien qu'avantageux sur bien des points. Il permet de rester durant une période généralement d'un an sur le territoire d'un pays signataire d'une convention dans un but "touristique", avec une autorisation de travailler. Les conditions sont bien évidemment légèrement différentes d'un pays à l'autre, et la liste de ces signataires est longue : Taïwan, Royaume-uni, Danemark, Corée du Sud, Chili, Canada, et bien d'autres mais surtout : Japon. Aujourd'hui, nous nous pencherons donc sur deux questions assez basiques : qu'est ce que le Working Holiday au regard du Japon et comment l'obtenir ? Comme toutes les demandes de visa pour le Japon, votre présence est obligatoire lors de la demande et se doit d'être faite le matin lors des heures d'ouvertures. C'est tout ! Les conseils de l'équipe Concernant la lettre de motivation, elle relève elle aussi d'une formalité.

Chapter 1 | Shin Sekai Yori – From the New World 210 was a normal year, and like all the other children born that year in the town of Kamisu 66, I was a very normal child. But to my mother, I wasn’t. She was nearing the end of her thirties and was convinced that she would never bear children. In our time, having a child in your thirties is considered really late pregnancy. Furthermore, my mother, Mizuho Watanabe, held the important office of librarian. During that period, my father, Takashi Sugiura, was the mayor of the town. My mother was in the middle of a meeting about the classification of a newly discovered collection of books when she went into labor. Two weeks later, in the same maternity hospital, Maria Akizuki, who would later become my friend, was born. The birthing assistant, armed with the experience from my birth, apparently handled this very calmly. When I first heard this story, I was elated that I had somehow indirectly saved my friend’s life. Let’s return to the story.

Russia's Ukrainian minority under pressure Moscow, Russia - One day last month Roman Romanenko, a Ukrainian living in the Russian city of Vologda, came home to find a swastika painted on his door and flyers stuffed in his neighbours' mailboxes. The flyers read: "Living in your building is a piece of Lviv scum", referring to a western Ukrainian city with a strong sense of national identity, many of whose residents supported the protest movement that led to the ousting of former Ukrainian President Viktor Yanukovich. The flyers warned that Romanenko supported the protest movement, and that his apartment could become a centre for anti-Russian Ukrainian extremists. Romanenko, who is originally from eastern Ukraine and not Lviv, is the editor of a local newspaper. He recently wrote a popular Facebook post asking Russian President Vladimir Putin to send Russian troops to Vologda, as he had done in Crimea - but this time, to protect local Russians from corruption. 'Nasty and unpleasant' environment Media-fuelled hostility 'One nation'

July 1] 1894 – January 27, 1940) was a Russian language journalist, playwright, literary translator, and short story writer. He is best known as the author of Red Cavalry, Story of My Dovecote, and Tales of Odessa, all of which are considered masterpieces of Russian literature. Babel has also been acclaimed as "the greatest prose writer of Russian Jewry".[1] Loyal to, but not uncritical of, the Communist Party of the Soviet Union, Isaak Babel fell victim to Joseph Stalin's Great Purge due to his longterm affair with the wife of NKVD chief Nikolai Yezhov. Early years[edit] Buildings in the Moldovanka quarter of Odessa. Isaak Babel in 1908. Although Babel's short stories present his family as "destitute and muddle-headed" (as he wrote in the story "In the Basement"), they were in fact relatively well-off.[2] According to Babel's autobiographical statements, his father Manus was an impoverished shopkeeper.
