Russian to English Translation - Excerpt from Conduit and Shwambrania by Lev Kassil

The World around Us
Father and Mother worked from morning till night and we grew, with our hands on our hearts, a couple of first-grade slackers. We were equipped with the classic “golden childhood,” complete with ideals gleaned from books of the “Golden Library.” We had a room that served as a gymnasium, toy trains, automobiles, and steamships. We were taught languages, music, and drawing. We knew Grimm’s Fairytales, Greek myths, and Russian legends by heart. But for me, all this sank into obscurity when I read a certain book that was called, I believe, The World Around Us.

Video Script - The Expanse Season 6: What We Know Already

Not much is known yet about Season 6 of The Expanse, but we do know that it is the final season—at least as far as Amazon is concerned. Writers Daniel Abraham and Ty Franck have strongly hinted that there could be more to come. After all, the show had been cancelled at one point after its third season, only to return again. It seems like this sci-fi “leviathan” will not be grounded.

Bobbie Draper, played by Frankie Adams, who has been grounded for too long should get back out in space and see some action alongside the Roci crew. Amos Burton (Wes Chatham) will bring Clarissa Mao aboard the Roci, which might cause some conflicts with other crew members. Naomi Nagata (Dominique Tipper) will likely escape her ex and join the fight against him. Jim Holden (Steven Strait) will of course act as everyone’s moral compass, and we’re pretty sure he will be instrumental to defeating Marco Inaros (Keon Alexander).

Although she became something of a pirate by Season 5, Camina Drummer (Cara Gee) could actually band together with all those who oppose Marco Inaros. If the show is to remain faithful to the book material, as it has more or less done all these years, there is an amazing future for Drummer in politics.
How will the show actually end? As long as it's not some supreme being who gets to judge everyone in God-like fashion like on the finale of The 100, we're good.

For those curious about what goes on beyond season 6, books 7 and 8 of the expanse have already been released, and the final novel in the series, Leviathan Falls, is scheduled for 2021.

Video Script - Why Harry Potter Ended So Many Acting Careers

Some of the actors we’ve come to know and love as students of the Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry seem to have dropped off the edge of the earth. The cast of Harry Potter has had some breakout stars like Emma Watson, but not everyone has gone on to a spectacular career in Hollywood.

In true Ron-like fashion, Rupert Grint embarked on some wacky side projects in between acting gigs. Also, he has not made the best choices when it came to post-Harry Potter movies. But we’re happy to say his career may be on the upswing again as Grint has been getting more regular work on TV shows like The ABC Murders.

Tom Felton, best known for playing Draco Malfoy, decided to put away his magic wand for a while, turning to music instead. Of course, Felton is still a big fan of the magical world he had been a part of all those years and keeps in touch with his former cast members from the Harry Potter movies.

James and Oliver Phelps have been typecast as twins because there’s no getting away from how good they were as Fred and George Weasley. Yet each of them has managed to nab some roles as a “non-twin” here and there.

Evanna Lynch, who played Luna Lovegood, hasn’t had a lot of movie roles, but she has become a vegan activist and a member of The Harry Potter Alliance, a non-profit organization that supports human rights and the environment.

We may not see them on the big screen these days, but these former child actors have shown that they can be versatile, and in many cases, their talents go way beyond acting.

00:37 Being Typecast
03:27 Poor Choice of Projects
05:14 Pursuing Other Interests

Online Article - The Crown: 6 Best Episodes So Far

Queen Elizabeth is known as a very private individual, so we may never find out the whole truth about her personal life, but The Crown makes up for in entertainment value what it lacks in historical accuracy.
As The Crown’s version of Winston Churchill says, “I never let accuracy get in the way of truth if I don’t want it to.” This may be a good summary of the historical accuracy of The Crown as a whole. The series takes place in what can be thought of as a parallel universe that is too elegant...
