- Can we heal the rift in Sudan? | Nesrine Malik
Secession would be no panacea for southerners like Marco, who worked for my family. But it is right that they have the choiceMarco joined our household in Khartoum at the age of 17. A well-built boy from the south of Sudan, he had fled the war and sought work in the north. His cousin, Augustine, worked as a house boy at my uncle's house and was asked to recommend someone to help around ours, as my mother was expecting another child and the maid was going to be occupied with nursing duties.One hot April day, three weeks before my sister was born, Marco turned up, stern-faced and quiet, was duly assigned a room and installed on the top floor of the house.He took to his duties silently and with meticulous perfectionism. He got on his knees and wiped the floors clean with a hand cloth, so that the marble shone like never before. He hand-washed and ironed the entire household's clothes, delivering them in neatly folded piles every Thursday night.The first time I saw him break into a smile was on the day my little sister was born. When he heard the ululations from the house he ran down and asked, grinning widely, whether it was a boy or a girl. He stayed with us for 10 years – a stable constant, the regular sweep of his broom strokes brushing reassuringly in the background.He took one day off each week when he showered, perfumed himself, dressed smartly and lit a cigarette on his way out of the house. It was the harbinger of the weekend: the vision of Marco walking out in his pressed dress shirt followed by billows of cigarette smoke and the odour of cologne.Sometimes I would go up to his room, a small bare space with a roof of corrugated iron, and feed our pet rabbits with whom he shared his quarters. He responded to all my questions monosyllabically as he ironed or lay on h 離脱は、私の家族のために働いたマルコのような南部のための万能薬になります

- Sandra Bullock is highest paid female actor after $56m year
Oscar-winning star of The Blind Side out-earns rivals such as Reese Witherspoon, Cameron Diaz and Jennifer Aniston, according to Forbes magazine listSandra Bullock has been named the highest paid female actor in the world after earning a mighty $56m (£35m) over the past 12 months.Bullock, who won the best actress Oscar in March for her role in drama The Blind Side, beat Reese Witherspoon, Cameron Diaz, Jennifer Aniston and Sarah Jessica Parker to the top spot, according to Forbes magazine.Most of her money came from two films – the aforementioned The Blind Side, which took $310m across the globe on a budget of just $30m, and comedy The Proposal, which managed a haul of $320m from $40m. Bullock benefited hugely from the success of both movies, says Forbes, because in each case she had struck deals to take a profit share on top of her acting fee.Tied for second place on the list were Witherspoon and Diaz, with estimated hauls of $32m each. The former banked paychecks for upcoming films How Do You Know and Water For Elephants, while the latter received payment for her part in action comedy Knight and Day, opposite Tom Cruise, and the final Shrek film.Aniston, who last year topped the Forbes list along with Angelina Jolie, could only manage fourth spot this time around. She made an estimated $27m between June 2009 and June 2010. Jessica Parker rounded out the top five with $25m.In compiling its list, Forbes spoke to talent agents, managers, producers and lawyers, and took into account revenue from sales of perfume, clothing lines and advertising campaigns.Despite her Oscar win and topping the Forbes list, it has not been a perfect year for Bullock. In March, she took home the Razzie for worst actress for starring in the comedy flop All About Steve.Sandra BullockOscarsFilm i ブラインドサイドのオスカーを受賞したスターが外リースウィザースプーン、キャメロンディアスとジェニファーアニストンのような、米フォーブス誌listSandraブー、世界で強大な$を56メートル（獲得後、最高の支払いの女性俳優の名前されているよるとライバルを稼いで£ 35）過去12 months.Bullock人3月にドラマでの彼女の役割ブラインドサイドの主演女優賞を受賞した、以上のリースウィザースプーン、キャメロンディアス、ジェニファーアニストンとサラジェシカパーカーがトップの座には、のフォーブスmagazine.Mostによるとビート彼女のお金は2つの映画 - 前述のブラインドサイド、世界中のたったの$ 30メートルの予算に$ 310メートル取って、コメディ提案、$ 40メートルから$ 320メートルの長距離を管理から来ました
