User Reviews
This is one of the better shows on MTV.True Life is a documentary-like show which follows the lives of people with that episodes' subject and get into the world of that subject, one of the earlier episodes was about the porn industry, which was interesting because they said that they get everyday women who do it for extra cash and one of the girls in the video got HIV from it. Other episodes are more funny like &I'm Obsessed With My Dog,& and &I Have Embarrassing Parents.& The earlier episodes were hosted by Serna (something) and some of the newer episode Gideion Yago goes to places (one he went to Iraq.) This show is very interesting and one of my favorites, if you haven't seen it, you should. It's not like the trash that's on MTV, it's decent and well true (that's why it's called True Life!)

#BBCtrending: Amateur fans of Serial podcast investigate true-life murder
BBC Trending
What's popular and why
These are external links and will open in a new window
Close share panel
It's one of the most popular podcasts ever, and amateur detectives are trying to get to the bottom of the true-life murder at the heart of it. But how is social media sleuthing influencing the case and the real people caught up in it? is a spin-off of the US public radio programme . (If you're already among its legions of devoted fans you can skip this paragraph.) For nine episodes it's been re-investigating the case of Hae Min Lee, a teenager who was murdered in Baltimore. Her ex-boyfriend Adnan Syed was convicted of the murder and has been in prison for the past 15 years. In a huge journalistic undertaking, Serial's producers, led by , have examined the case from nearly every angle. And because it's a real-life crime, the series has inspired fans to start their own investigations. A
has attracted more than half a million users, and fans have been hunting for clues both online and at key locations in and around Baltimore."I was hooked from the beginning," says one reddit moderator who goes by the handle "wtfsherlock". His real name is Mike and he lives in California, but he didn't want to reveal any more than that to BBC Trending.Amateur detectives have dug up and shared links to the criminal records of witnesses, pointed out
nearby and have even travelled to the Best Buy electronics store at the centre of the case, to try to track down evidence of
that a key phone calls allegedly came from.

Fastest podcast ever to reach 5 million iTunes downloads
Top of the podcast charts in the US, UK, Germany, Australia and elsewhere.
Sources: Serial, Apple, iTunescharts.net Mike says he's done some fact-checking himself. In an early episode, it was revealed that a potential witness might have been able to provide an alibi for Adnan Syed when she claimed to remember seeing him just before a snowstorm. "I went and looked back at , and it showed there was no snow on that day at all - it was actually quite warm," he says. "There was a storm, but it was the next day."The weather discrepancy was later noted in .The producers of Serial, citing deadline pressure, said they didn't have time to answer our questions about how social media has affected the course of the series. In a , Sarah Koenig said she was surprised at the popularity of the podcast and denied that feedback was guiding the future of the series. But she also said producers were keeping one eye on the online conversation.

Reddit has a section devoted to Serial
"I'm not looking at reddit. But we do have people on the staff who are dipping into it to make sure there's nothing crazy on there or something we're missing - they might know something we don't."But Mike, aka wtfsherlock, thinks the social media discussion has influenced the course of the series.
For example, one of the recent discussion points on reddit and elsewhere has been about the lack of comment by Hae Min Lee's family.
then included a passage in which Sarah Koenig detailed the lengths the podcast's producers have gone to find family members, including hiring two private detectives and Korean-speaking researchers.

Adnan Syed
"In my 20 plus years of reporting, I've never tried so hard to find anyone," Koenig said of Lee's mother. "I learned a few days ago that they [the Lee family] know what we're doing. My best guess is they want no part of it, which I respect."Mike says reddit moderators have had some minimal contact with the producers and that he understands why they haven't leaned more on reddit for research tips."They are very much doing their own thing," he says. "I think it would be very risky for Serial to say, 'could you find out where so-and-so lives?' Because people would do it. And that would be problematic."Mike says that moderators do their best to delete personal information leaked on the forum - although with so many posts many details have been leaked online - and the subreddit rules clearly ban posting such information about any of the characters mentioned in the podcast."It's a weird situation because reddit's policy is 'no personal information'," he says. "Well here we have a real-life story, with real-life names, that are being broadcast by podcast to millions of people every week."Our policy has been to keep people from revealing things [about individuals] that aren't revealed publicly by the podcast, and particularly keeping last names out of the discussion."
But Jim Trainum, a former detective hired by Serial to look at the case, told BBC Trending that online speculation could have serious implications for the people involved in the case. "Because of this frenzy, it does impact lives adversely," he says. "Jumping from A to Z with no steps in between, making assumptions based on gut reaction … too often a rumour takes on a life of its own and soon becomes a fact."The activity on reddit is so frenetic that it even attracted someone , who wrote an emotional plea asking people to leave the family alone.If the podcast producers are concerned about the privacy of the Lee family and the podcast's interviewees, they have more than social media to worry about. Personal details including Facebook pictures of key witness Jay - Serial producers scrupulously refer to some characters by first name only - have been posted on the Daily Mail website (and no, we're not going to link to it).As for Adnan Syed,
his case. That appeal, which started in September and is centred around whether he received adequate legal representation at his original trial, has little to do (so far) with the drama unfolding on Serial. The next edition of the podcast will be available Thursday - but if you're a listener, you knew that already.Blog by , Ruth Alexander and Gemma NewbyReporting and graphic by Ravin SampatYou can follow BBC Trending on Twitter All our stories are at

Shakespeare's Influence on the English Language
Shakespeare's Influence
The English language owes a great debt to Shakespeare. He invented over 1700 of our common words by
changing nouns into verbs,
changing verbs into adjectives,
connecting words never before used together,
adding prefixes and suffixes,
and devising words wholly original.
Below is a list of a few of the words Shakespeare coined, hyperlinked to the play and scene from which it comes. When the word appears in multiple plays, the link will take you to the play in which it first appears.

Shakespeare Dictionary
A List of Troublesome Words
By Stephen Sherman, Sept. 2003. Updated July 5, 2011.
This is an extremely selective and personal dictionary of troublesome words I have found in Shakespeare's plays and sonnets. It is limited to words that have fallen out of use, OR whose meanings have changed over the centuries. "Power" is an excellent example of
in Shakespeare, it normally refers to an army.
Other words, like "pelican" and "willow" have lost the strong symbolic meaning that they had in Shakespeare's vocabulary. Most modern readers (myself included) would need a dictionary of mythology to understand that "pelicans" allegedly pecked open their mothers' breasts to feed. One doesn't need a translator to read Shakespeare, but some guidance in his word meanings might be useful.
Words like 'store' usually mean the same thing they mean now, but sometimes mean something a little different. In the example, 'store' means 'material, substance, stuff', as opposed to 'a supply of stuff'. Subtly, but distinctly different.
The table below shows Shakespeare's word, its meaning (in the sample quote), "#" - its relative frequency, reference(s) to the word's use in well-known plays, and a brief quote, in context. The middle column "#" is the number of times the word is found in Shakespeare (based on an Internet Shakespeare vocabulary list, not on exhaustive scholarly research). It is only shown to give a sense of how often the word appears.

at one fell swoop (W3)
Der Ausdruck engl. "at one fell swoop", "in one fell swoop" geh?rt zu denen vielen, denen Shakespeare in "Macbeth" (1605) zu Popularit?t verhalf (vielleicht wurde er sogar von ihm gepr?gt). Bei Shakespeare steht das "wilde Herabstossen" eines Jagdvogels noch bildlich für den skrupellosen und t?dlichen Angriff der H?scher von Macbeth. Heute wird es eher im übertragenen Sinne von "Pl?tzlichkeit" verwendet.
Der Ausdruck engl. "at one fell swoop", "in one fell swoop" = dt. "auf einen Schlag" geht zurück auf ein altengl. "fell" = "brutal", "grausam", "wütend", "wüst". Dieses geht zurück auf ein altfranz?sisches Wort, das auch noch in (veraltet) engl. "felony" = "Schwerverbrechen" (also "Grausamkeit") und engl. "felonious" = "verbrecherisch" zu finden ist.
Abfrage im Google-Corpus mit 15Mio. eingescannter Bücher von 1500 bis heute.
Engl. "at one fell swoop" taucht in der Literatur um das Jahr 1790 auf.

Erected on the location of a Norman church whose first recorded Vicar was practicing in 1185 (with evidence of an Anglo-Saxon church earlier still), St. Leonard's was quite near to The Theatre at New Inn Yard. This theatre was home to the first productions of many of Shakespeare's now legendary plays. To this end, many of Shakespeare's company and contemporaries must have considered St Leonard's a natural resting place. The list of players in the medieval graveyard buried under the current crypt includes James Burbage, founder of The Theatre, and his son Richard, Shakespeare's ally and an actor with the honour of having been the first to play tragic heroes Macbeth, Hamlet, Othello and Romeo.

Index of First Lines
Accuse me thus: that I have scanted all
Against my love shall be, as I am now
Against that time, if ever that time come
Ah! wherefore with infection should he live
Alack! what poverty my Muse brings forth
Alas! ?tis true I have gone here and there
As a decrepit father takes delight
As an unperfect actor on the stage
As fast as thou shalt wane, so fast thou grow?st
As it fell upon a day
A woman?s face with Nature?s own hand painted
Beauty is but a vain and doubtful good
Being your slave, what should I do but tend
Beshrew that heart that makes my heart to groan
Betwixt mine eye and heart a league is took
Be wi do not press
But be contented: when that fell arrest
But do thy worst to steal thyself away
But wherefore do not you a mightier way
Canst thou, O cruel! say I love thee not
Crabbed age and youth cannot live together
Cupid laid by his brand and fell asleep
Devouring Time, blunt thou the lion?s paws
Did not the heavenly rhetoric of thine eye
Even as the sun with purple-colour?d face
Fair is my love, but not so fair as fickle
Fair was the morn when the fair queen of love
Farewell! thou art too dear for my possessing
For shame! deny that thou bear?st love to any
From fairest creatures we desire increase
From off a hill whose concave womb re-worded
From the besieged Ardea all in post
From you have I been absent in the spring
Full many a glorious morning have I seen
Good night, good rest. Ah! neither be my share
How can I then return in happy plight
How can my Muse want subject to invent
How careful was I when I took my way
How heavy do I journey on the way
How like a winter hath my absence been
How oft when thou, my music, music play?st
How sweet and lovely dost thou make the shame
If love make me forsworn, how shall I swear to love?
If music and sweet poetry agree
If my dear love were but the child of state
If the dull substance of my flesh were thought
If there be nothing new, but that which is
If thou survive my well-contented day
If thy soul check t
