During the Academy Awards this year, many artists, as they often do, took the opportunity to advocate for various social, ethical, and political positions. Perhaps the most noteworthy instance occurred during Joaquin Pheonix's acceptance speech for best actor for his performance in the movie Joker. At its heart, Joker is a movie about marginalized and underserved groups. It uses an only nominally comic book vehicle to drive a narrative about poverty, mental illness, and political and social responsibility. It is not surprising, then, that Pheonix, a famous lifelong vegan, took a brief moment to talk about a marginalized group that has historically received far too little mention from advocates of all types—non-human animals.

This is a typed listing of the academic courses taken by Peter Karpovich at the Medical Academy at Petrograd (Leningrad or Saint Petersburg). Included with the list is an explanation of why his academic records are incomplete, stating, essentially, that he could not carry them across the border of Latvia when he fled Russia. There is also a statement about how Brackett Lewis, the General Secretary of the YMCA at Riga Latvia did the translation of his certificate for passing his examinations. According to the document, he took Anatomy, Physiology, Embryology and Theology among many other courses. The end note states that he also took private training in Physical Education Theory and received a certificate in Swedish Military Gymnastics and Play. ; Peter V. Karpovich (1896-1975) was born in Russia and trained as a medical doctor at the State Military Academy of Medicine in Petrograd (St. Petersburg), Russia in 1919. Under increasing political and professional turmoil, he fled to Latvia in 1922. In Latvia, Karpovich worked at the Riga YMCA. In 1925, he traveled to the United States to research at Springfield College. While there, he enrolled as a special advanced student and earned a master's degree in physical education. In 1927, while completing his studies, he became a professor of physiology at the college. In the late 1940s, he met and married his second wife, Josephine Rathbone, an acclaimed scholar of physical education and relaxation. From 1961 to 1969, he served as the director of the physiology research laboratory at Springfield College, where he published several seminal books. Karpovich was a founding member of the American College of Sports Medicine and a consultant to many government, private and educational organizations. He remains an internationally recognized pioneer in physical education.

Capacity building of host nation militaries is a central component of current multinational military operations, which is likely to become increasingly vital to future military interventions in conflict settings. Focusing on the mentoring of the Afghan National Army at the British-led officer academy in Kabul, this policy brief stresses the urgency with which Western militaries should improve military capacity building efforts. Based on qualitative data collected at the British Royal Military Academy Sandhurst and the Afghan National Army Officer Academy, the brief outlines five clusters of military-specific recommendations on 'measurements of success', 'local ownership', 'mentoring', 'coalition cultures' and 'Afghan values and visions', which may be helpful in generating sustainable security solutions in Afghanistan and beyond. ; Capacity building of host nation militaries is a central component of current multinational military operations, which is likely to become increasingly vital to future military interventions in conflict settings.

It is obvious that our contemporary societies with diverse languages need to enhance effective communication in foreign languages, especially those who belong to the EU and NATO organizations. Teaching and learning is very time consuming, so it is important to implement new, effective and time saving language teaching methods so that that they could intensify the second language learning and acquisition. Hence, we need to acquire language proficiency requirements in fast foreign language learning for it is internationally relevant to NATO allies who are involved in various international missions at the moment and in the future. So that learning and acquisition of the foreign language would be effective, new methods of language teaching methodology are required to deal with any difficulties that the teachers face in teaching the second language and selecting an appropriate method for each of the topic in the study of any language, especially teaching the military. Nowadays an active search for new methods and techniques of teaching foreign languages is taking place especially teaching the military who need in the shortest time to obtain the second/foreign language acquisition. That meets the current state of methodological science and the rapid development of the military community as a whole. Intensive computerization of teaching military is very much proceeding in the foreign language teaching and learning environment. It is very beneficial to apply these all gadgets in developing new learning habits of a learner. New technology savvy generation can easily recognize intel spreading from the digital screen which actives perception of audiovisual resources of learning in the system of education in military or civil schools and universities. Authentic video and various videos created by methodologists, specifically for educational purposes, are being more and more frequently applied in the process of foreign languages teaching. The use of video clips at the foreign language lessons perfectly suits to the tasks which foreign language teachers face in the context of the development of active multilingualism in Lithuanian society. The article highlights the implementation of audiovisual method in teaching the second/foreign languages at the Military Academy of Lithuania. The analysis of the pros and cons of this method is also produced as well as the requirements for authentic audio-visual materials which can be applied for educational purposes and the technology of methodological development of authentic video material for its use in a foreign language course. The authors assert the importance of implementation of methods economizing learning and acquisition time and intensifying the educational process of the second/foreign language.
