USA news on Youtube Sep 4 2018

This video was sponsored by The Purge on USA Network, a ten episode television event premiering

on Tuesday, September 4.

Will you hide, or will you seek?

Tune in to USA Network every Tuesday to make your choice...and seal your fate.

You don't need us to tell you that there's too much to watch these days..

Even months before Halloween, 2018 had already delivered a number of standout horror movies,

many of them flying under the radar - so we've collected our favorites.

For one reason or another, all of them were overlooked, but they're all worth a second

chance.

Terrifier

Sometimes a horror fan wants something intellectual, and sometimes you just want to watch people

run from an insane clown.

Trashy, exploitative, and mean-spirited, Terrifier is the sort of movie that's meant to be discovered

on a beat-up VHS tape.

Except instead of being pumped out into dollar theaters in the '80s, it was somehow released

in 2018.

Terrifier commits to its trashiness from every angle.

It's simplistic, low-budget, and sometimes dubiously acted - which is not to say that

it's a bad movie.

While it's certainly not for everybody, the movie has notched a solid 80 percent on Rotten

Tomatoes, meaning slasher fans should feel confident giving this punchy thrill ride a

late-night spin.

Pyewacket

What if you made a nasty wish in a fit of rage, only to find later that you couldn't

take it back?

Pyewacket tells the story of a teenage girl who naively puts a curse on her mother in

a half-baked woodsy ritual.

After her moment of frustration has passed, the girl has to watch as her curse becomes

terrifyingly real, and the consequences close in around her.

Pyewacket is a movie from the slow burn school of horror, favoring mood over scary moments

and a sense of dread over jump scares.

Elevated by strong performances from its mother and daughter leads, the movie sports a concept

relatable to anyone who's ever been a teenager - especially a teenager who's made a big mistake

or two.

Wildling

Wildling isn't just an underappreciated horror movie - this unsung character study is one

of the best movies of the year.

The story of a young woman raised in captivity who enters the real world as a teenager, it's

a feral child story that takes its premise very literally.

A supernatural horror movie, Wildling brings out its fantastical elements slowly, drawing

you into its world of believable characters well before it reveals what it really is.

It's a movie that tests your allegiances as a viewer, with your sympathies constantly

shifting as the circumstances change.

It's also a movie of adolescent self-discovery with a particularly wild twist.

Starting like a supernatural version of the movie Room, Wildling basically turns into

Predator by its third act - an appropriate transformation, given the subject matter.

Revenge

Left for dead in an isolated location, a young woman is forced to hang on to her life as

the criminals who nearly did her in come back to finish her off for good.

Over the course of Revenge she turns from a carefree hedonist into a vengeful destroyer.

The circumstances of her near-death experience are so brutal and unfair; you've never wanted

to see the bad guys get what's coming to them as badly as you do here.

A vicious, adrenaline-pumping look at savagery and survival, Revenge is not a comfortable

watch, basically being a cross between 127 Hours and I Spit on Your Grave.

But if you've got the guts to watch it, it's a trip well worth

your time.

The Strangers: Prey at Night

A surprise hit when it invaded theaters in 2008, it took the producers of The Strangers

a decade for a follow-up to be realized.

Enthusiasm for the first movie faded in the time between releases, and the sequel landed

in theaters with a much more muted splash.

But fans of the original Strangers shouldn't ignore this second go-around, which may be

better than the original.

Moving the action from a couple's home to an empty trailer park, Prey at Night effectively

builds on the original's premise of pointless, random violence.

It can't be reasoned with - it can only be fled.

The sequel gains points over the original for the target family's tendency to fight

back, making the game of cat-and-mouse much more of a level playing field than it was

in the original, and ultimately, making this a more rewarding watch.

Mom and Dad

Written and directed by Brian Taylor, one half of the directing duo that brought the

world the Crank movies, Mom and Dad is a look at the most out-of-hand family squabble you've

ever seen.

It's as though they took a mundane argument between parents and their children, added

Nicolas Cage, and… well, made a Crank movie out of it.

Simple and brutal, Mom and Dad is a cathartic and chaotic horror-comedy, with all the best

Nicolas Cage weirdness you could ask for - up to and including an enraged performance of

the Hokey Pokey that involves a sledgehammer.

It's not every filmgoer's favorite flavor, but if you're still with this video, you're

probably the target audience.

TEGO NAM BĘDZIE BRAKOWAŁO / WHAT WE ARE GOING TO MISS - Duration: 15:45.

Great views. I know this feeling when you land in Poland. Every time I am moved and feel that I'm home.

Unfortunately it's not as good when you leave. The feeling is similar but with a lot of sadness.

Klimat. Będzie mi brakowało tych klimatów.

Ogólnie klimatu tego miejsca.

Jaki jest ten klimat?

Jest niesamowity.

And... a person gained those few additional pounds while visiting Poland.

It is usually so.

The food is so good that you just can't not eat.

But when I come back to US I will drop it all again because

I will eat only yoghurt with blueberries for breakfast.

Co jest w kanapce, David?

Jogurt i jagody...

Poważnie? Nie wygląda to jak jogurt i jagody.

No dobra, mam tu przynajmniej trochę zielonego.

On a more serious note, the breakfast at mom's have ended.

And every return to USA is difficult for me.

Difficult because it often happens so in life

that we don't really appreciate things that we have.

We don't realize how much we'd miss them until the moment arrives

when they are removed from our lives.

Personally, the most difficult fact for me to accept is that

I don't have a way to quickly return... to Poland, to friends, to my homeland, to my parents.

Because I am here, on the other side of the ocean.

I can't just see someone for coffee or a beer tomorrow afternoon.

I can't drop in to my parents' house for dinner next Sunday.

A trip to Poland, to Europe involves bigger planning, expenses and a whole big enterprise.

And today we both wanted to talk a little bit about what we are going to miss.

Those cravings are definitely bigger and deeper on my side than on Blonnie's part.

The first, most painful and hurtful element on my side

is of course the lack of direct contact with friends

family and my parents who are really fantastic and incredible.

The time we get to spend with them is always very special.

I was not aware Jelenia Góra has its own bull, like

like Wall Street in New York City, literally.

I have an unclear feeling that this bull

symbolizes something else than the one in New York.

Look at this beautiful buquet for my 27th birthday.

Piękny!

It's beautiful!

Very pretty. Edible.

This is hawthorn.

Ala did you know we could feed the deer close up here?

No, I had no idea. Not at all.

Your husband didn't tell you? He was coming here to feed them on his own?

Marcin made special arrangements just for today.

I wonder how much he paid?

A surprise of sorts.

Now you know why there's such a hole in your account!

He'll have to work to get it back for... the next year!

Podobało Ci się?

Oj tak. Teraz jestem w bardzo dobrym nastroju.

To znaczy i tak byłam już w dobrym nastroju.

To było niesamowite!

Nie?

Dwa tygodnie nad tym pracowaliśmy.

Przyjeżdżałeś tu i podkarmiałeś je kilka razy?

Oswajałeś...

Nie jest to tak proste jak wygląda.

The flowers are dying.

Why? Because it's too hot?

It's a heat wave. The sun is beating down on them from the Southern side here.

You have to water them often.

When it comes to the weather I have to openly admit we will miss that, too.

I know there was a heat wave in Poland right before we landed over there.

and maybe indeed we are just really lucky when it comes to weather - I don't know that

but there was exactly one day in Poland when I felt too hot.

Other than that it was just fantastic.

Just ideal, warm but not too hot.

Towards the end of our stay there were even days when it was starting to get chilly.

Nie aż tak ciepło jak było kiedy tu przylatywaliśmy, nie?

Aż tak?

Tak.

A jaka jest różnica?

Teraz jest zimno! Taka jest różnica.

Poważnie?

Ja się czuję świetnie!

Pierwsze wrażenie po wylądowaniu w USA.

W Baltimore.

Wychodzi się z budynku lotniska i dosłownie uderza człowieka fala gorąca.

Co za kontrast w porównaniu do miło chłodnego powietrza na Islandii.

Chcę tam wrócić!

To jest okropne.

To mi w tym momencie przypomina, że tak właściwie nie było komarów [w Polsce].

Możesz sobie zostawić otwarte okno w sypialni

bez w sasadzie żadnej siatki ani niczego. tylko te zasłonki na oknach.

Nie wpadają żadne robale.

U nas się tak nie da.

Naprawdę żadnych nie było. Przynajmniej w miastach.

Bo tak prawdę mówiąc to nie doświadczyliśmy

jeziora ani morza, ale w miastach...

Było tak samo jak tam dorastałeś?

...było bez robali.

Myślę, że w moim mieście zawsze miałem otwarte okna latem.

Tylko FIRANKA w oknie, ta zdobiona biała zasłonka jak Ty to nazywasz.

Nie było problemu z robakami. Nic co bym zaliczył do wielkiego zmartwienia.

Tutaj to jest poważny problem.

Myślę, że nawet w Filadelfii nadal musisz mieć siatkę na oknach, nie sądzisz?

Teraz mamy więcej światła bo wyszliśmy nad wodę.

Będą nam też teraz łódki hałasowały.

Powinniśmy to nagrywać w studiu, ale stwierdziliśmy że może będzie ciekawiej

jeśli zostaniemy poza studiem.

Ponieważ jest wciąż lato.

Mimo, że w ciągu dnia lał się skwar z nieba teraz jest wieczór

i teoretycznie powinno się ochłodzić... więc zdecydowaliśmy się pozostać na zewnątrz.

Chcę tam zejść.

Dobra.

Będzie mi brakowało wszystkich historycznych budynków.

Tej możliwości chodzenia dookoła miast

i poznawania historii wszystkich starych i interesujących miejsc.

Zawsze daje mi to do myślenia i mnie zastanawia

Kto tu mieszkał i dlaczego to zbudował? Kto mieszkał po tej osobie?

Co się stało podczas tych wszystkich wojen? Zawsze mnie to wszystko bardzo interesuje.

W okolicach Jeleniej Góry było tyle zamków i pałaców.

Znajdowały się prawie że minuty drogi jeden od drugiego.

Znaczy się były krótkie odcinki jazdy samochodem między jednym a kolejnym.

Strasznie mi się podobało ich odwiedzanie i dowiadywanie się kto tam mieszkał, dlaczego je zbudowali.

Ta konkretna część Polski była pełna pałaców i zamków do oglądania.

Będzie mi również brakowało tego, że miasta są tak blisko siebie.

Daliśmy radę zrobić tą bardzo fajną wycieczkę Lublin-Zamość-Lublin w ciągu jednego dnia.

Obydwa te miasta były niesamowite same w sobie.

Są w takiej odległości, że można odwiedzić i pozwiedzać kilka w jeden dzień.

Napewno nie jest tak tutaj w USA.

Albo nawet w innych krajach, które odwiedzałam.

Kiedy się wybierasz w jakieś miejsce docelowe to jesteś w tym miejscu i tylko to miejsce zwiedzasz.

Nie masz czasu, jest zbyt daleko żeby pojechać do następnego wspaniałego miasta.

I też je pozwiedzać, ale da się tak zrobić w Polsce i tego mi będzie brakowało.

Myślisz, że każdy język na tej planecie ma swoje "łamacze językowe"?

Peter Piper picked a peck of pickled peppers

Myślę, że tak.

Zgadzam się.

I jeśli chodzi o Polskie łamacze języka

Jest taki jeden, najbardziej popularny.

Ja myślę, że cały Polski język to jeden wielki łamacz językowy.

Dla Ciebie!

Ale ten łamacz języka, którego ludzie używają. Ten najbardziej popularny

to: w Sczebrzeszynie chrząszcz brzmi w trzcinie.

i mam niejasne wrażenie, że ten łamacz języka musiał się narodzić

w pobliżu miejsca, gdzie w tej chwili stoimy. Wiesz?

Co powiedziałeś?

W Szczebrzeszynie chrząszcz brzmi w trzcinie [in Szczebrzeszyn a beetle makes a noise in high grass].

Dobre podejście. Musisz się trochę poduczyć, ale przynajmniej próbujesz!

Powiedz to jeszcze raz.

W Szczebrzeszynie chrząszcz brzmi w trzcinie.

Ostatnie słowo jakie powiedziałaś to "świnie".

To nie to samo co Ty powiedziałeś?

Nie.

To jest może i trochę dziwna rzecz, za którą możnaby "tęsknić", ale podobało mi się

że światła na skrzyżowaniach zmieniały się na żółte zanim pojawia się zielone.

Tu w USA jest zielone, żółte i potem czerwone.

Potem bezpośrednio zmienia się na zielone więc niekoniecznie jesteś na to gotowy.

Czasami ciągle jeszcze czekasz... i potem w Filadelfii na przykład ludzie od razu trąbią

zanim zdążysz nawet zdjąć nogę z gazu

znaczy się zanim ją zdejmiesz z hamulca i dodasz gazu.

To jest bardzo wkurzające, więc moim zdaniem żołte światło przed zielonym byłoby bardzo pomocne.

Było również pytanie od jednego z naszych widzów, które chciałem Ci zadać przez cały wyjazd

i cały czas o tym zapominałem więc zapytam Cię teraz.

Jak tak właściwie smakowało Ci Polskie jedzenie?

Bardzo mi smakuje.

Jego większość, ogólnie - może 95%

nie różni się aż tak bardzo od tego co jemy tutaj.

Tak prawdę mówiąc to jadałam całkiem często pierogi po tej stronie

Ty tu jadałaś pierogi?

Tak, ale były

To dla mnie coś nowego.

Były z Costco, o to mi właśnie chodziło.

Nie dorównywały w żaden sposób tym nieziemskim pierogom, które Twoja mama zrobiła w ostatni dzień.

Były takie sobie, zamrażane pierogi na tyle dobre że mi smakowały

Chodzi mi o to, że jadłam podobne potrawy do Polskiego jedzenia po tej stronie

więc bardzo mi tam smakowało.

Również desery w Polsce są dobre,

bo nie są przesłodzone. Ogólnie, tzn. mogą być słodkie,

ale tu w USA mam wrażenie, że pakują do deserów tyle cukru

że wszystko co da się posmakować to cukier. Nie wyczuwasz tak dobrze truskawek i śmietany

albo biszkoptów, tylko cukier!

Podoba mi się, że w deserach w Polsce cukier jest bardziej łagodnie stosowany.

Since we are in a city like Kraków we of course have to

check off the drinking chocolate place.

This is my favorite kind of restaurant.

Most of all things in the end, I will miss

this one of a kind, very special, elusive Polish vibe.

Not to be found anywhere else.

A vibe that exists only over there.

A vibe that you can understand only when you are there.

To własnie. Jak dla mnie, nie da się...

Jak dla mnie nie da się tego pobić. Nie da się pobić wyjścia na ten piękny rynek.

A vibe that you can feel at the main squares of Polish cities.

In the meantime we find ourselves in the Tarnowskie Góry main square.

What a beautiful welcome.

A vibe that you can feel so clearly when you're meeting your friends.

Again we are at the Market Square on a beautiful summer day.

There is still no heat. I am waiting for the heat, it's supposed to come tomorrow.

For now it's just wonderful.

Valdi doesn't want to be on the vlog so we'll just show him very quickly.

...while driving through Polish villages and fields.

This vibe is Kraków, Jelenia Góra, Lublin, Zamość, Rzeszów

Tarnowskie Góry and a thousand other places in Poland we have not visited yet.

This vibe is all Polish castles and palaces, Polish food and Polish weather.

Polish mosquitos or the lack of them. Polish mountains.

And even the very butterflies you feel in your stomach on an airplane right before you land in Poland.

To by było na tyle, Blonnie. Musimy się pożegnać

z miastem.

Ostatni dzień. Jutro znikamy.

Pa, miasto!

Pa, miasto! Jest mi smutno.

Czego Ci najbardziej będzie brakowało? Poza Twoimi rodzicami oczywiście?

Klimatu. Będzie mi brakowało tych klimatów.

Ogólnego klimatu tego miejsca.

Jaki jest ten klimat?

Jest niesamowity!

Moje lodowe włosy naprawdę wyglądają jak

zawinięte lody dzisiaj.

Authors' Alley: Collaborative Writing Communities (Recap) — EdmodoCon 2018 - Duration: 6:17.

So my name is Kate Baker, 9th grade ELA

teacher from New Jersey.

Hello Southern Regional! Hi everybody, I'm

Shari Krapels. I'm also really, really

excited to be here with all of you today!

I'm also a high school English teacher,

grades 9-12. Hi Cresskill!

The reason that the online community worked

so well for us was because it created a

space beyond the walls of our classroom,

Kate and I don't teach in the same

school or the same district, where

students were able to experience a felt

need when it came to their writing.

Because ultimately what we're also

trying to do here is not just transform

our students into authors. It's also

about transforming our classroom into

communities. We use Google tools (both of

our schools have Google domains), but the

reason and if you look down at the

bottom the reason we went to Edmodo is

because Edmodo really let us share in

between two schools. So what we want you

to see when you're looking at this chart

is that there are different purposes,

there are different levels of

accessibility, there are different ranges

of privacy, so you can publish

online even if your school is not wild

about the idea of the kids being out on

the wild internet. Create a walled

garden with a Padlet or maybe let them

go a little bit more broad with Weebly

if that's what you're comfortable with.

If you want to bring classrooms together

Edmodo is a great tool for that, but

that marriage between form and function

when we're thinking about online

publishing is absolutely fundamental.

So first off, I want to talk about the

naming of your Edmodo Groups and Classes.

I teach two sections, two different levels:

I have three periods of honors classes

so I put them all into one honors group.

And then I have two sections of general

English now why do I do this? Well, it

saves me posting! I don't have to

remember to post it to Period 1, Period 2 Period 3.

But it also creates this online professional and personal

learning experience for my students. That

they are learning how to function in a

digital space and interacting with

people that they might not necessarily

see face to face. Some of the folks are someone

that they sit next to in the classroom,

but many of them are also folks that

they might bump into in the hallway

depending on their schedules. Madeline

was an honors student in my freshman

class and she was painfully shy. Very,

very introverted.

Oh god, I get all teary eyed even thinking

about Madeleine to this day. So Madeleine

never spoke up in class, but Madeleine

was a gifted, gifted writer. And what I

started to see in Edmodo is that

Madeleine found her voice. She

practically shouted online! Oh god, I'm

gonna do it again, tear up about

Madeleine! And so Madeleine got very

comfortable in Scribe City commenting on

other people's work, feeling that felt

need, sharing her work. Yeah, so we were

able to really channel some of that

Madeleine magic when we moved into the

Authors' Alley space. Kate and I met on

Twitter, she became a one partner person,

and the two of us teamed up. You can see

too, the evolution of Authors' Alley when we

finally got the punctuation right. But in

any event, if you take a look over on the

right side of the screen, what you can

see is that Kate's student Collin has

posted his writing and we don't have the

entire thing there, because really what

we wanted you to focus on is Hanna's

response. My student Hanna, who has

responded there and if you're a teacher

of writing, and we're all teachers of writing,

you know what it takes to produce a kind

of response to a student that is that

long and that detailed. Hanna has

given Collin timely, actionable advice

that is esteem building, and that is

thoughtful, and is really a response

tailored just to him. The good behavior

self-perpetuates, so Hanna's

response inspires her classmates to

respond with the same kind of attention

to detail and the same kind of warmth

and the same kind of courtesy and the

same kind of constructive feedback. Collin

sees that, and now he feels good about

writing. And then this thing started

happening where they were like thanking

each other in the comments. It was just

the cutest thing you ever saw, because it

really, really built this incredible

community that gained its own

momentum, and that was the thing that

we've loved most about this

experience. And you don't have to do that

just with writing.

So what you can see here is that Ethan

posted a video (we just have a screenshot

of it for you, it's not the video itself),

and Sarah is responding to what he's

done in the video. And the video is

really just about highlighting process:

"Here's where I am in this."

It's a screencast, he's saying, "let me

talk you through it." And so Sarah gets to

jump in, in real time in a lot of ways, to

help Ethan with his process. And that's

the thing we really want to teach our

students that writing is a process, it's

not just product focused, it's not just

about where you end up, it's about how

you get there. But here's the thing, again,

we want you to take away from this is

don't limit writing to actual, you know,

typing out the words on the screen. Think

about the tools that you can use to make

writing more accessible and more, you

know, community building. So I borrowed

from Maslow to focus on our digital

learning needs. That once your needs of

physical hardware access and

safety with digital citizenship and

firewalls,

that you are really focusing on creating

activities for your students and these

spaces where they are going to feel that

they belong to something greater than

themselves. And that they feel good about

what they're learning about, what they're

doing, what they're producing. And then in

the case of us, they feel good about

something that's often hard for students:

We want them to feel good about writing.

We know that we're better together, we

know that we know that we live in an

increasingly interconnected world, we

know that our students are going to need

to be able to work together and not

always face-to-face. And so we really do

believe that this is important, good work

that everybody can do. So leverage the

power of those personal and professional

connections that you have, both in your

local but then also in the greater

learning community that you have in

Edmodo and beyond.
