May 16: The First Academy Awards
The First Academy Awards (later known as the Oscars) was a private awards ceremony held on May 16, 1929, at the Hollywood Roosevelt Hotel in Los Angeles. Organized by the newly formed Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences (AMPAS), it honored outstanding achievements in films released between August 1, 1927, and July 31, 1928. Unlike today’s televised spectacle, the event was a 15-minute dinner banquet attended by 270 industry figures, with winners pre-announced months earlier. Key distinctions included two Best Picture categories (Wings won "Outstanding Picture," while Sunrise took "Unique and Artistic Production") and acting awards based on multiple performances (e.g., Janet Gaynor won Best Actress for three roles). The ceremony established foundational Oscar traditions, though the statuette’s nickname and global prominence would develop later.

Pedagogical Approaches for Developing Students' Three-Dimensional Thinking
The cultivation of spatial thinking in students encounters several challenges. Firstly, there is a notable lack of systematic methodologies and techniques specifically designed to effectively enhance this cognitive skill. Secondly, resources are often limited, including access to contemporary tools and technologies such as 3d modelling software and virtual reality platforms. Psychological barriers also contribute, as transitioning from two-dimensional to three-dimensional perception demands significant effort and time.

Dignified, Powerful, and Respected Old People in Medieval and Early Modern Literature: The Worthy Hero and the Wise Old Person Versus the Old Fool
To understand the topic of old age in the Middle Ages and the Renaissance, we can draw much information from relevant literary texts among other sources because the poets operated with general notions commonly subscribed to by their audiences. Old people appear in many different roles already in the pre-modern world, but here the focus will rest mostly on worthy, dignified, mighty, and even ferocious old warriors in heroic poetry. Those stand out because of their strength, their knowledge, their resolve, their wisdom, and their extensive and varied abilities, but this does not automatically mean that they were flawless. To round off this entry, the attention will finally turn to remarkable examples of old but highly respected people in the verse narratives by the German poet Heinrich Kaufringer, in Boccaccio’s Decameron, a harbinger of the Italian Renaissance, in Christine de Pizan’s didactic writings, and in the Old Norse Njál’s Saga.
