1

Bangladesh,

victim of climate change. Here and there is no national and international

attention for climate change, damage and about duty. If we and world leaders

dont think about the Bangladesh,

who will? Bangladeshi students writing a letter to the President of the United

States Barack H. Obama to gift a 350ppm world. This 350feet long letter signing

starts 15-11-2009 at 11am from Bangladesh Agriculture University

Mymensingh, Vice Chancellor of the university starts the letter signing by

giving his 1st signature. Later on every professor, lecturer, students sign on

the letter. Before the signing program a rally march on the university ground

by the speech of university admin, there Vice Chancellor of the university said

that, “We very lucky and proud that this letter signing program starting from

our university on the occasion of National Agriculture day. We are part of this

world, agriculture is essential for us and for this off course need a stable climate.

We hope the decision makers will think about us to think about them also.

Thanks to the organizer to include us in this Nobel event.” After VC speech

proctor of the university request all the students and teachers to attend the

letter signing ceremony. Presenter of the program Professor Zakir Hussain

described climate issues. Director of Design Bangladesh

MD. Mahmudul Karim read out the message from 350.org by Bill McKibben. Bill

McKibben sends a message on this letter signing action to Barack H. Obama “As I

have been traveling around the world and showing pictures of the International

Day of Climate Action, none have moved people more than the photos from Bangladesh.

They demonstrate that the people who have the most to lose from global warming

have put aside their daily worries and joined in common cause with people

around the world. This is deeply inspiring, and has helped many nations move

closer to a Survival Pact for Copenhagen--one

that demands that the world's rich nations cut their own carbon emissions

steeply enough to give countries like Bangladesh

a chance.

The whole world

is grateful to the leadership that the ordinary people of Bangladesh

are providing on this issue. And it makes me especially happy, because though

I've traveled across the whole world there are very few places I've ever been

with landscapes as lovely, or people as warm, as in Bangladesh.

Thank you enormously for your hard work.” After this, Project coordinator

Shofikul Islam read out the message from Taking It Globally “Good Day Ladies

and Gentlemen,

Our world today

is undergoing massive and rapid change. People on all sides of this planet are

coming together in order to address global challenges which cannot be solved

without worldwide collaboration. The scope of Climate change demands new ways

of doing things. It is evident that the results of global warming are already

affecting many parts of the world, but what is remarkable about this time is

the climate FOR change.

Never has the

world been more ready to connect, collaborate and share. From Toronto

to Mymensingh, from Cairo to Kansas

citizens around this planet are coming together to overcome that separates us

and unite towards social good. Networks like TakingITGlobal prove that change

is coming faster than ever.

We will carry

the message that you sign here today to the most powerful individual in the

world, to the president of the United States,

but even his power is small compared to the power we have to change when we

work together on a global scale.

While there are

many gathered here today, there are countless others all over this planet who

stand here along side us in the struggle to remake the world into a more

sustainable and just reality. It is with great honor that we continue on this

journey alongside you.” This program successfully runs 11am to 5pm. After finishing at BAU the letter signing

program held on a Madrsha from 6pm

to7pm. Madrsha students and teachers signed the letter.

16November will sign school students, 17November will sign college students and

18November the ending letter signing ceremony will be held at Dhaka

University. Vice Chancellor of Dhaka

University will address the program. This letter signing program gets mass

attention and popularity. Locally this program organized by Design Bangladesh

in support of 350.org and TakingItGlobal.org

George Sidney and Charlie Murray in The Cohens and the Kellys in Africa (1930) by Truus, Bob & Jan too!

George Sidney (1876- 1945) was a Hungarian-born comedian with long vaudeville experience. He began on stage in 1900 and acted in films from 1915. He worked together with American comedian Charles Murray (1872-1941) on a series of comedies around the Jewish Nate Cohen and the Irish-Catholic Patrick Kelly, two business partners who are constantly fighting. Murray appeared in 283 films between 1912 and 1938, and also directed 5 films.

George Sidney was born in 1876 in Nagynichal, Hungary as Sammy Greenfield. He was a brother of producer Louis K. Sidney. George began on stage in 1900 and worked for a long time in vaudeville. From 1915 on he appeared in silent films. The actor was known for such films as Sweet Daddies (Alfred Santell, 1926) with Charles Murray, The Auctioneer (Alfred E. Green, 1927) and Around the Corner (Bert Glennon, 1930) with Charles Murray. The silent comedy The Cohens and Kellys (Harry A. Pollard, 1926) is the first of the Cohens and Kellys film serials. The characters were similar to those in the Anne Nichols play, Abie's Irish Rose which was made into a film in 1928 and in 1946. Sidney was married to Carey Weber, and was the uncle of the director George Sidney. He died in 1945 in Los Angeles.

Charles Murray was born in 1872 in Laurel, Indiana, USA. On stage in travelling shows from the age of eleven. Later he teamed up with Oliver Trumbull (stage name Ollie Mack) as half of the vaudeville double act of "Murray and Mack". After an impressive 21 years on the circuit, they split up and Murray joined Biograph in 1912 (some sources say 1914). Two years later, he moved to Keystone, where he played the Hogan character. He appeared in several films opposite Charlie Chaplin and Mabel Normand. He remained a popular actor in 2-reel comedy shorts throughout the 1920s. The actor and director was known for such films as Mike (Marshall Neilan, 1926), featuring Sally O'Neil and William Haines, Vamping Venus (Edward F. Cline, 1928) with Louise Fazenda and Thelma Todd, and Around the Corner (Bert Glennon, 1930) with George Sidney. Murray was still seen in small character roles up to 1938. He was married to Nellie Bae Hamilton. Charles Murray died in 1941 in Los Angeles.

Is the humour of George Sidney and Charlie Murray still funny today? For G. Manfred at IMDb The Cohens and the Kellys in Africa (Vin Moore, 1930) was "one of the toughest 68 minutes" he ever sat through: "Without the historical value, this picture has no value at all. The plot is hallucinatory and the script is mainly one-liners that range from barely funny to atrocious. Cohen and Kelly own a piano business and decide that, to save money, they should go to the source of the ivory - hence the title. Things go steadily downhill, especially the jokes, and there is not much else to say about this movie. If you attend a retrospective or a film festival and this one is on the program, get your hand stamped and go out and sit in your car. It will be time well spent."

Clarence Street, Pleasley Hill, Mansfield. by ThenewMendoza

The rows of terraced house on Clarence Street in Pleasley Hill near Mansfield were built in the 1880s for miners at the nearby Pleasley Pit. Many of the houses are currently standing empty as a three-phase regeneration program gets underway to re-house residents, demolish the old and bring in the new.
