Trump’s caller societal media trial tract had to beryllium pulled offline aft it was defaced by hackers.
Former president Donald Trump and his squad declared Wednesday nighttime that they would soon motorboat a “media powerhouse” that would assistance them triumph successful their long-running warfare against Big Tech. But wrong hours, pranksters recovered what appeared to beryllium an unreleased trial mentation and posted a representation of a defecating pig to the “donaldjtrump” account.
The tract has since been pulled offline — grounds that Trump is apt to look a daunting situation successful gathering an Internet concern that tin basal connected its own.
It is bully to spot that Trump is upholding the agelong contented of poorly secured blimpish societal media networks.
There is 1 different occupation with Trump’s societal media level too however casual it was to deface.
It appears a pretense for different Trump scheme.
Trump’s Social Media Platform Is Really A Stock Scam.
Matt Levine described successful Bloomberg Opinion however Trump’s SPAC scam works:
So if Donald Trump announced “hey I’m gonna bash a societal media company, bargain immoderate stock,” radical would bargain immoderate stock. And past he’d get a batch of money. And past if the societal media level did not extremity up being profitable — as I cannot ideate it would be! — then helium would, uh, inactive person that money? And if the societal media level did not extremity up being launched — if Trump and his ace squad of technologists conscionable couldn’t really physique a well-functioning online societal web — then helium would, uh, inactive person that money? And if determination was nary ace squad of technologists astatine all, if cipher even tried to physique the societal media level — then you spot wherever I americium going with this right?
It is the cleanable Trump scam. Trump unveils a societal media institution that whitethorn oregon whitethorn not ever beryllium launched. Trump sells banal successful the thought of the societal media company. Trump has nary existent work to motorboat a societal media company, oregon for the institution ever to beryllium profitable.
Trump gets to support the money.
It is each a con. The thought that Donald Trump, a feline who was truthful inexpensive that helium hired criminals who would enactment for free, family, and ran a statesmanlike run retired of his basement would walk the loads of wealth required to motorboat a societal media institution correctly is absurd.
It is simply a currency grab, and radical shouldn’t dainty Trump’s “Truth” arsenic thing different than legalized grift.

We already know we have to stretch a little and clear space for a dance floor whenever MNEK comes out with a new single. The British singer/songwriter/producer continues to impress us with his newest track, "The Rhythm." The single offers plenty of dance and trance just in time for us to work off our upcoming holiday eating. Whether you have rhythm or not, the contagious synth-etic beat in the background will have you moving in no time. The 20-year-old singer lets us know from the beginning of "The Rhythm" that music is his stimulant, and it comes with some serious side effects. MNEK sings, "If I let the rhythm get to me / Then I don't know what I'll be / Think I just may lose my mind / If I let the rhythm get to me / It will take all of me / I'll lose track of space and time."
Like any true dance track, there's a build up and a heavy drop, and this one will keep you moving through its ebbs and flows. While we endorse the safe listening of all music, we do suggest that you let this rhythm enter your system and take it over. Will you let "The Rhythm" get into you or will you be able to compose yourself? Take a listen to MNEK's latest offering and let us know how it makes you feel.

On 17 January 2017, a Nigerian Air Force jet mistakenly bombed an internally displaced persons camp near the Cameroonian border in Rann, Borno State. They had believed it was a Boko Haram encampment. The bombing left at least 115 people dead, including six Red Cross aid workers, and left more than 100 injured.
|Part of the Boko Haram insurgency|
|Date||17 January 2017|
|Executed by||Nigerian Air Force|
|Casualties||115 (confirmed) killed|
Boko Haram is a jihadist group of insurgents that demands Sharia law in Nigeria. They have been active in the Rann area, and Nigeria's military had mounted an offensive in 2016 that forced the group out. However, Boko Haram fighters returned after the region's rainy season ended, allowing them to travel more easily, and in December had attacked a military facility in the area.
|Wikinews has related news:|
Early reporting said that the Nigerian military had received information that Boko Haram forces were gathering in preparation for an attack on a military target. Major General Lucky Irabor, the commander of Nigerian forces fighting Boko Haram in northeastern Nigeria, said that he had ordered an airstrike on the location where the militants were believed to be gathering. The airstrike took place sometime during the day—reports varied from about 09:00 local time to early in the afternoon —and left at least dozens dead. According to Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF), which operated in the bombed camp, at least 50 people had been killed, while an official from Borno working in the recovery effort told the Associated Press that at least 100 were dead. A Red Cross spokesman said that six of its aid workers were among the dead. MSF said that up to 200 had been injured, with more expected to die overnight due to limited medical facilities and doctors in the remote area, and large scale rescue forces not expected to arrive until 18 January.
On 18 January 2017, a Red Cross statement said that the number of dead stood at about 70, with 90 or more wounded remaining in Rann, 46 of whom were "severely injured". On 20 January, MSF said that they had confirmed 90 fatalities, and had received local reports that the final toll could be up to 170. An emergency services official in Nigeria said on 24 January that the number of dead had reached 115 confirmed; while other reports had said that 236 were killed, the official said that the larger number was the total of dead and injured.
The United Nations (UN) and Red Cross jointly deployed a helicopter mission carrying medical personnel and 400 kilograms (880 lb) of supplies, which arrived late on the 17th and evacuated eight Red Cross workers. Additional UN helicopters deployed to aid in evacuations, while MSF said that its workers in Chad and Cameroon were preparing to receive the victims once they had been stabilized for transport from Rann. Some of the injured were airlifted to Maiduguri.
General Irabor, conceding for the first time in the fighting against Boko Haram that a government attack had resulted in civilian casualties, said that "[u]nfortunately, the strike was conducted, but it turned out that other civilians were somewhere around the area and they were affected", while President Muhammadu Buhari said that the incident had been a "regrettable operational mistake". The military planned to begin an investigation into the actions of the pilot flying the mission and the commanders involved in order to determine whether the airstrike had been an operational error. The Chief of the Air Staff, Air Marshal Sadique Abubakar, called the event a "very tragic and unfortunate incident" and promised a thorough investigation. On 24 January, an Air Force spokesman said that the investigation would be concluded by 2 February, though he did not say whether the military would release its findings.
Mausi Segun, a member of the Human Rights Watch in Nigeria, said that regardless of intent, the group considered the bombing a crime, saying that "[e]ven if there is no evidence of a willful attack on the camp, which would be a war crime, the camp was bombed indiscriminately, violating international humanitarian law."
Hugues Robert of MSF said "This was a very densely populated place that was full of civilians who already lived there and internally displaced persons who had come there," while The Economist criticized the bombing for occurring in the camp even though it was under army control at the time.

The planned launch of the space shuttle Endeavour was delayed for the second time in four days. Why? A hydrogen leak! In fact, the leak is occurring in the identical physical location that a hydrogen leak occurred four days ago. Of course, we only have some of the best engineers in the world trying to fix this multi-billion dollar set of equipment, but they can't do it. Maybe they don't have enough money for the replacement parts? Hmm.
It is especially strange that after "knowing" where the leak was four days ago, they still can not fix it. On top of that, another shuttle flight three months ago was also delayed due to a hydrogen leak. But Yahoo! reports that "Launch officials said they were proud of the way the team hustled over the past four days trying to get Endeavour to the space station, with a new outdoor addition for the Japanese lab."
Am I missing something here? When my shiny new hydrogen-fuel-cell-powered automobile in, say, 2015, needs to refill, will I have four days and a team of the world's best engineers, and a billion dollar budget, to fix my "gas" tank? Call me a pessimist, but I doubt it.
For me, this problem with the space shuttle is not the real concern. For launching a massive rocket ship and cargo into outer space, as far as I can tell hydrogen may really be needed! Batteries will probably not do the job. But for cars, the story is different. For example, the initial Tesla car model achieves 225 miles on one charge, has power for zero to sixty mph in 4 seconds, and is already available and useable commercially, although in restricted quantities (Tesla is a startup, after all).
It is clear that batteries as the power source for automobiles, and even for larger vehicles, are ready for prime time. Granted, it will be nice as battery prices come down and energy densities and overall capabilities continue to improve, as they are every year, but the time for the electric car is here now (and in somewhat limited mileage forms, was here many years ago).
We already have the grids nationally and internationally to distribute electricity and the capacity to recharge cars during evenings, and wherever and whenever cars and their batteries may find themselves. And at least one new company has an additional bright idea in this arena: provide swapping points at gas stations where a driver can simply trade a nearly discharged battery for a charged battery. A further benefit using current and improving technologies is that as we go forward, the electric economy can gradually migrate to renewable sources of the electricity being used, whether those sources turn out to be sun (photo-voltaic), wind, waves or other related sources.
There is no infrastructure in place for hydrogen gas manufacture, distribution, and retail. And even if there was such an infrastructure built up in the future, if we require gas station owners to constantly recharge fuel cells with hydrogen gas, that NASA team is sure going to be busy flying all over the country to help get those highly explosive and invisible gas leaks fixed really quick, so we can all drive without unpleasant fireballs.
I sure hope our current president, and his team of high-achieving energy experts, can see through the hydrogen fuel cell fantasy. It seems that is the case – Obama's team announced a major drop in fuel cell research funding last month, including a total cancellation of research into fuel cells for vehicle power (other purposes of fuel cells retain some reduced government funding for research). That means that the United States will not be wasting its money on the hydrogen fuel cell transportation non-option any time soon. Let's hope it stays that way.

Well, do ya punk?".

Thanks to the Internet, all of human knowledge is at our fingertips and smartphones have made information accessible from almost anywhere. However, this expectation of immediate gratification has led to one undeniable trend — impatience. No one wants to have to deal with a technology that is either slow or delivers a bad user experience.
Nowhere is this more apparent than in mobile apps. As soon as there is even the slightest problem, users are quick to jump on social media and complain or leave negative reviews in the relevant app store. For businesses launching apps, the tiniest issues can quickly become a customer relations disaster.
As a result, app development now includes rigorous levels of testing to ensure problems and glitches are filtered out. However, with so much riding on the quality of an app, this process needs to start at the beginning of the development cycle and continue throughout an app’s life.
To achieve “continuous quality”, as industry analyst firm Forrester describes it, you need to consider a number of key areas. First up is actually defining what quality is, what you hope to achieve and how you monitor it. By setting boundaries and targets, you have something to aim at and focus on. This should all happen at the beginning and will help you decide how and what needs to be tested. Playing a vital role in this is automation. Automating testing with tools like selenium allow more tests to be carried out on more devices and ensure an app is glitch free when it goes to market.
Just as important as front end testing is making sure that the backend support systems are ready. A failure here can be just as disastrous to a user’s experience as a front-end issue. Ensuring that your development team has the tools and skills to test and carry out quality assurance (QA) is key.
Once the app is ready for launch, the testing should not stop. With new OS updates arriving on a regular basis, monitoring post-launch helps not only ensure the quality targets have been met but also guarantees the user experience never dips below this threshold, when market-wide changes are introduced.
The final aspect to consider is security. This is important for all apps, but has added weight when it comes to sensitive verticals like banking and healthcare. The need for robust security, and security testing, is only going to increase as users and enterprises see more news about security breaches and become even more worried about the implications. Consequently, this too needs to be considered right from the start.
From setting targets and boundaries to monitoring post release, ensuring quality needs to be a fundamental part of app development. Embarking on development of any app needs to go hand-in-hand with a firm commitment to continuous quality.

This annual worldwide event encourages landscape architects, community members, and students to transform metered parking spaces into temporary parklets.
Students from CAPLA's Master of Landscape Architecture and Bachelor of Landscape Architecture programs worked together to design and build a pocket park for Park(ing) Day 2020. MLA students have created a number of Park(ing) Day installations on and off campus since the City of Tucson began participating in 2008, but this year marks the first for CAPLA's inaugural cohort of BLA students.
The event necessitates a great deal of planning and coordination between students and local officials even during a typical year. The students' enthusiasm and previous experience with the event helped them overcome the unique challenges they faced while building a temporary parklet during a pandemic.
"The twin devils of COVID and digital fatigue were our largest hurdles. Keeping everyone on the same page remotely and outside of school hours was a struggle, but we made sure to start the planning process before school started to give us time to compensate. Honestly, once we decided that we wanted to do an installation that showed how space could reinforce social distancing and sanitation but still be comforting, the layout designed itself," says CAPLA American Society of Landscape Architecture (ASLA) student chapter co-president Ramzy Bejjani '21 MLA.

The students coordinated closely to pull the event together. Emma Nakpairat '24 BLA designed the event flyer and Patricia Cabrera '23 MLA worked with the City of Tucson to secure the parking spaces on historic Fourth Avenue, making sure the permitting was in place. Bejjani calls to ASLA student chapter co-president Paige Anthony '22 MLA and secretary Alizabeth Potucek '22 MLA "the real MVPs," and Gabrielle Spickard '21 MLA, Rebecca Shaw '21 MLA and Christian Aguilar '23 MLA also participated.
"It was a fun challenge that activated our creativity as we kept the safety of the users in mind," says Aguilar. "I spoke with the owner of Café Passé and she stated that she would have liked to keep the parklet permanently and would also love for other business to have a similar space for their customers. Parklets reduce car traffic, are pedestrian friendly and in these times of COVID-19 make it possible for people to go out and support businesses safely."
The student group received materials and labor support from a number of local businesses and organizations. Café Passé, which is owned and operated by CAPLA alumna Jenny Rice '19 BS Sustainable Built Environments, hosted and provided all of the furniture for the space. The Pima County Native Plant Nursery loaned the plant materials and the Watershed Management Group lent its Tippy-Tap Handwashing Station.

Leonard’s Garage & Service Center is an experienced auto repair for domestic and also professional clients in Austin Texas. Our concentration on customer support as well as value for your money makes us the primary option for home-owners as well as businesses alike.
Before you begin Auto repair shops typically provide a no-cost estimate of the work to be performed. Although the numbers can vary dependent on what the root of the issue is, it’s still a decent base. For certain businesses, this is an industry-wide policy; however, you should never agree to car maintenance or auto repair before understanding the total cost that will be incurred. Certain stores have staff who are willing to give a free estimate and are available to drive the vehicle on an evaluation.
If you are having maintenance or minor repairs completed, it might be beneficial to take owners’ manuals. A lot of people aren’t knowledgeable about their vehicles and would like to ensure that they are as precise as is possible when performing repairs. Other people may not wish to study owners’ manuals. In either situation, the manual will offer information regarding the specific issue with the vehicle. By providing the mechanic with tips and recommendations on specific issues it is possible to determine the issue without having to dig through the owner’s manual.
Before leaving the car make sure you have all the required documents. Many times , auto shops will ask for proof of insurance or at a minimum, a bill of sale. If this is the case, the mechanic should finish this for you before leaving with the car. It’s also beneficial to have the VIN (Vehicle Identification Number) along with the warranty history you. This info can come in useful when discussing repairs or maintenance issue later on.
Then, you should be aware of any complaints filed about the business. If the shop has a history of fixing problems , but it is not charging its customers for such services the time may be to look for a different shop. If you are a victim of a complaint, be sure to document the date, name as well as any other details related to the incident. If you are able, pay the repair shop directly to avoid being billed on the credit card.
If you can, go to the auto repair shop or the factory-scheduled maintenance facility in person to determine the condition of the equipment. If the place isn’t in operation at the time you go, often times the most effective way to gauge the conditions of operation is to check on the internet. You’ll often find reviews of local businesses to discover the position they’re given by prospective customers.
If you’re not knowledgeable about auto repair, the employees at the shop will be able to assist you with any situation. They should also be well-informed of the services and products available from various manufacturers. However, it may be necessary for you consult with a technician before deciding on a specific make or model of vehicle. Even though you may have found the right mechanic, there are times when it’s best to verify the task. Furthermore, some technicians are more prone to offering no-commitment advice, and it can be difficult to prove that they aren’t. To avoid problems in the future, choose your mechanic with care.
Our knowledgeable crew of advisors are here to receive your phone calls or even meet with you one on one in order to help you deal with any kind of auto repair difficulties that you may be having.
You are able to look for everything that you need here on NearMe.Vip

Iraq On Verge of Sectarian Split?
It’s increasingly looking as if Iraq as we know it will collapse into multiple sectarian mini-states.
A large Sunni group has claimed the western tip of Iraq as a Sunni state.
An alliance of Sunni insurgent groups claimed yesterday to be establishing a separate Sunni state in the west of Iraq in the latest demonstration of the growing fragmentation of the country. The statement by the Mujahideen Shura Council, an umbrella organisation of fanatical Sunni groups that includes al-Qa’eda, is the first time a Sunni body has supported the break-up of Iraq.
It said the move was in response to the passing by the Iraqi parliament last week of a federalism law which would permit provinces to join together to form self-ruling regions. That is expected to result in the creation of a semi-autonomous Shia zone in the south, similar to the Kurdish state in the north. A separate Sunni state was needed to protect itself from such an eventuality, the insurgent group said.
So far, at least, Sunni politicians are resisting this move:
More moderate Sunni groups condemned the council. Mahmud al-Meshhedani, the speaker of the Iraqi parliament and a Sunni, called it “vulgar with no religion, who only kill others under the pretext of jihad”.
At a meeting in Kirkuk yesterday, 500 Sunni Arab tribal leaders and representatives said they were committed to maintaining the unity of Iraq. But their solution to the turmoil was no less controversial, as they demanded the immediate release of Saddam.
Still, the Sunnis are right to be fearful after the latest wave of violence which have sparked the beginnings of a refugee problem:
Families fled in search of safety Monday as open warfare raged for a fourth day between Shiite militias and armed Sunni men in Tigris River towns north of Baghdad. Militias allied with Iraq’s Shiite-led government held sway in Balad city, forcing out Sunni families and leaving the bodies of slain Sunni men to rot in the streets, according to police, residents and hospital officials.
The Iraqi government deployed still more reinforcements to try to calm the embattled towns and hold open the main roads, Interior Ministry spokesman Abdul Kareem al-Kinani said in the capital. But local police officers accused Shiite-dominated government police forces of working alongside Shiite militias in executing Sunnis and appealed for more help.
Not surprisingly, the failure of the Iraqi government to maintain order has escalated tensions with Washington:
American officials and Iraqis have expressed increasing frustration with inaction by Maliki, who this week indefinitely postponed measures both to disband militias and convene a reconciliation conference meant to close the widening rift between Iraq’s Shiite majority and Sunni minority.
Maliki has bridled at growing U.S. pressure to act against the illegal private armies, which include armed wings of the two biggest parties in his governing alliance of Shiite religious parties. The prime minister issued a statement late Monday stressing that government forces have already confronted militias in some provinces. His administration “is determined to confront the armed groups with all political and military means,” he said.
Meanwhile, there are calls for U.S. forces to do more:
A police officer in Duluiyah, Capt. Qaid al-Azawi, accused American forces of standing by in Balad while militiamen in police cars and police uniforms slaughtered Sunnis. Americans did act, however, in Duluiyah, arresting three local police officers whom they suspected of fighting with insurgents against the militias, Azawi said. Garver, the spokesman in Baghdad, said he had no information on these specific reports. “We’re providing assistance where we see criminal behavior, such as violence and killing,” he said.
These cries are mounting:
“People are bewildered because of the weak response by the Americans,” said one Balad resident who asked not to be identified for fear of reprisals. “They used to patrol the city every day, but when the violence started, we didn’t see any sign of them.”
Ironically, this coincides with calls for us to leave:
A mid-ranking Iraqi official of al-Qaeda in Iraq, Ma’an al-Ani, said scores of Iraqi members of Iraq’s most feared Sunni insurgent group had broken away, spurred by unhappiness at Sunday’s declaration. Creation of a separate Sunni state would only “tear the country apart . . . and divert from the main goal, which is getting Americans out,” Ani said.
A classic damned if you do, damned if you don’tsituation. But that’s counterinsurgency for you:
The situation in Balad, about 50 miles north of Baghdad, appears, in stark form, to show the dilemma for American military commanders at a time when they are hastening the transfer of wide areas of the country to Iraqi forces. They are also insisting that those troops take the lead in quelling violence, leaving American forces to step in only when asked.
It also highlighted yet again the powerlessness of the Iraqi forces to stand in the way of such sectarian violence.
Sectarian violence and retribution killings of the kind that unfolded in Balad over the weekend are the purview of the Interior Ministry, in charge of Iraq’s police forces, and the Iraqi government in general, said Lt. Col. Michael Donnelly, a spokesman for the military’s northern command in Iraq, adding that responsibility for the Balad area was transferred from American military units to the Fourth Iraqi Army about a month ago.
The job of the United States military in Balad, he said, is to work “by, through and with” its Iraqi counterparts “to build further capacity to reduce the violence, and bring about stability.”
American military commanders reviewing what happened over the weekend concluded that the situation in Balad was best dealt with by the Iraqi armed forces, a senior American military official said. The senior officer, who requested anonymity because he was not authorized to speak publicly on the subject, said that American commanders viewed the upheaval in Balad as a new test for the Shiite-dominated government of Prime Minister Nuri Kamal al-Maliki, who has come under American pressure to crack down on militias that have been responsible for much of the killing in the country.
The American military eventually provided what Lt. Col. Christopher Garver, a military spokesman, described as “quick reaction force assistance” to the Iraqi Army and the police in the area. “We were waiting for a request from the Iraqi government,” he said.
The same dilemma faces the Iraqi government. Andrew Sullivan summarizes it nicely: “The awful truth seems to be: Maliki cannot restrain the militias; the sectarian violence is getting worse, not better; and yet Maliki is resisting partition or a big new infusion of U.S. troops.”
The old adage about getting out of the middle of the road lest you be hit by cars going in both directions is particularly apt here. Maliki needs to decide, pronto, what level of support he wants from the United States and the Iraqis need to decide, quickly, whether Maliki is the right man for the job. It’s not clear at this point whether it’s too late to make a difference but sticking with the present course much longer is not a viable option.

Do I need to muzzle my dog?
If you know that your dog can be aggressive in certain situations, then it is irresponsible not to muzzle him. Under the Dangerous Dogs Act 1991 a dog can be destroyed and the owner can be prosecuted and given a criminal record if their dog is seen to be a threat to anyone. The dog does not need to have bitten someone.
As a muzzle can act as a warning to people your dog is less likely to be approached and provoked to respond, making exercising him easier for you.
Are muzzles cruel?
Muzzles will only cause welfare problems if they are used wrongly. By following these guidelines you will ensure that your dog is safe and enjoys wearing his muzzle. You will also ensure that he associates the muzzle with pleasant experiences rather than a sign that something unpleasant is about to happen (e.g. an injection at the vets).
Are all muzzles the same?
There are lots of different types of muzzle, the two most common being:
The basket muzzle – as long as it is fitted correctly this allows the dog freedom to drink and pant. The dog will remain cool and comfortable but will not be able to bite anyone.
The nylon muzzle – although you will still be able to give your dog small treats he will not have sufficient freedom to drink or pant freely making it unsuitable for prolonged use. The dog can still nip with its front teeth.
How do I get my dog to accept a muzzle?
- Make sure that the muzzle is the correct size for your dog so that it is comfortable. Take advice from your veterinary surgery or pet shop to ensure a good fit.
- Introduce the muzzle to your dog when he is relaxed. Let him sniff it and give him a few treats and then put the muzzle away. Do this several times over the first few days to build a positive association with the muzzle.
- Slip the muzzle over the dog’s nose as you give him a treat, leaving it undone. Remove it and put it away. Gradually increase the amount of time that the muzzle stays on and only reward the dog when he has been particularly calm and still.
- Now try fastening the muzzle, again rewarding the dog for remaining still and calm for increasing periods of time. If the dog becomes distressed try to distract him with a game and try not to take the muzzle off until he is calm and can receive a reward. Gradually build up to wearing it for 30 minutes. Follow the longer sessions with a game or walk.
- Start to muzzle the dog for short walks, but initially choose times and places that will avoid confrontation and excitement. Give your dog lots of praise for relaxing during the walk. If you have to take the muzzle off while out, ensure that the dog remains under control.
- Continue to use the muzzle whenever you are out but especially if you know that you are likely to encounter a problem situation. By making sure that your dog has lots of pleasant experiences while wearing the muzzle he will not associate the muzzle with the occasional negative experience.
If your dog starts to panic or become distressed at any stage you may have progressed through the stages a little too quickly. Take him back to a stage at which he can relax and try again more slowly.
Always feel free to contact the surgery for advice if you are concerned about your dog’s behaviour.

Angell Kim, a 2010 Marcus High School graduate and member of the 2014 graduating class at the University of Texas at Austin, just learned she won’t need to worry about paying for her senior year—or her first year of graduate school.
“I was selected one out of the 20 students in the nation to receive a Thomas R. Pickering Foreign Affairs Fellowship,” said Kim, an International Relations and East Asian Studies major
The fellowship provides up to $40,000 per year to participants as they prepare for a career in foreign service.
“During the summer after graduating from our undergraduate institutions and after our first year of graduate school, we will complete a domestic internship with the State Department and an international internship. After our graduate studies, we will take the Foreign Service Officer Test and then serve for three years.”
The Foreign Service is a corps of working professionals who support the President and Secretary of State in pursuit of the goals and objectives of American foreign policy.
Foreign Service officers are “front-line” personnel who can be sent anywhere in the world, at any time, in service to the diplomatic needs of the United States.
The Thomas R. Pickering Foreign Affairs Fellowship is named in honor of one of the most distinguished and capable American diplomats of the latter half of the 20th century.
Pickering holds the title of Career Ambassador, the highest title in the U.S. Foreign Service. He served as Ambassador to Nigeria, El Salvador, Israel, India, and the Russian Federation, finishing his career as Under Secretary of State for Political Affairs.
The Pickering Fellowship encourages women, members of minority groups and students with financial need to apply. The goal is to attract outstanding students from all ethnic, racial and social backgrounds who have an interest in pursuing a Foreign Service career in the U.S. Department of State.

Scottish National Gallery, Edinburgh
History, tourist information, and nearby accommodation
The national art gallery of Scotland stands on The Mound, just off Princes Street, in the heart of historic Edinburgh. The Gallery can trace its origins to 1819, when the Royal Institution for the Encouragement of the Fine Arts in Scotland was established. The Royal Institution opened its collection of fine art to the public in 1828.
A new organisation called the Scottish Academy (later the Royal Scottish Academy) was formed in 1826 with the aim of establishing a national collection of painting. The RSA opened a gallery within the Royal Institution building in 1835.
A new neoclassical building designed by architect William Playfair was built on The Mound and opened by Prince Albert in 1850. The building was divided in half internally; the RSA occupied the eastern half of the building and a new National Gallery occupied the western half. The RSA later moved into the former Royal Institution building, and underground spaces were built to link the two.
The Gallery collection covers western art, with a special focus on Scottish works. Highlights include paintings by Constable, Botticelli, Cezanne, Van Dyck, Gainsborough, Rembrandt, and Titian. As you can tell from this cursory list, the collection covers a huge array of disparate styles and time periods, from Old Masters to French Impressionists.
One of the most popular works is 'The Skating Minister', probably by Sir Henry Raeburn. The painting is more accurately entitled 'The Reverend Robert Walker Skating on Duddingston Loch', and dates to the 1790s. Curiously, the painting was almost unknown until the mid-20th century, though it is now one of the most popular Scottish pieces of art ever produced.
Reverend Robert Walker was a Church of Scotland minister, who probably learned to skate when his father served as minister of the Scots Kirk in Rotterdam. Walker entered the church like his father, and was minister of Canongate Kirk and a member of the Edinburgh Skating Club, whose members often skated on Duddingston Loch, or on Lochend loch, between Edinburgh and Leith.
One of the earliest works in the Gallery is 'The Virgin and Child Enthroned', a painted panel intended to form part of an altarpiece. The altarpiece was painted around 1418 by Lorenzo Monaco (Pier di Giovanni). Contrast the altarpiece, painted in tempura and gold, with a simple sketch by Leonardo Da Vinci, 'Studies of a Dog's Paw', made about 1480.
The Scottish art galleries occupy the lower level, and Italian Renaissance, Dutch, and Flemish art are on the first floor. The upper floor holds galleries of Northern and Gothic Renaissance, French Impressionist, and 18th-19th century works of art.
The gallery is free to enter, though there may be a charge for special exhibitions.

How social media saw Eclipse 2012
Here's how the social media world reacted when the moon over-took the sun and cast a shadow so large that parts of north Queensland was plunged into darkness.
Social media went into overdrive on Wednesday as thousands of people began tweeting pictures of their view of the total solar eclipse from north Queensland. Further south, images of the partial eclipse also emerged.
For just two minutes north Queensland was plunged into darkness as the moon moved directly in front of the sun.
Listen across the day to ABC Far North Queensland's coverage of the total solar eclipse including highlights from the 612 ABC Brisbane and ABC Far North Queensland breakfast broadcast from Mareeba.

The purpose of this investigation is to delve into the intricate dynamics surrounding migration in Morocco, specially focusing on the Maghreb region’s treatment of sub-Saharan migrants and the complex interplay between institutions of power, media narratives and societal attitudes towards race and identity. Drawing on Morocco’s historical relationship with slavery and its present handling of Africanness, the analysis unveils a culture of denial that deeply impacts the integration of migrants and the perpetuating of discriminatory practices. The narrative shifts towards the role of rhetoric and media, emphasizing its pivotal importance in shaping societal perspectives, particularly regarding non-Moroccans. The examination extends to the Moroccan media’s relationship with the monarchy, revealing how institutional influence and censorship significantly manipulate and drive public discourse. This study also touches on a variety of geopolitical and foreign policies and strategies questioning the efficacy of these strategies as genuine catalysts for social chance. Furthermore, it scrutinizes the contradictions between theory and practice surrounding the integration of migrants within the maghreb. Throughout, the research methodically addresses key questions regarding institutional influence, the manipulation of power and population, Moroccan identity, and the lived experiences of sub-Saharan migrants in Morocco.

Britain must embrace the high-tech alternatives to animal testing. Three million animals are used in research in this country each year. That doesn’t have to be the case.
The power of science to do good has been unequivocally demonstrated. The imminent Covid-19 vaccination roll-out to protect the nation is something we can all celebrate.
Achieving a world where human diseases are cured faster without animal suffering is going to take transformational change in legislation and regulations governing medical research. That’s why Animal Free Research UK is working to ensure our issue gains a prominent place on the political agenda.
Animal Free Research UK’s CEO Carla Owen and Science Manager Dr Alpesh Patel explain, CRISPR can be a game-changer for humans but also for animals – if researchers have the courage and imagination to do things differently.
A new All-Party Parliamentary Group today held its first AGM with the aim of accelerating the development and uptake of human relevant sciences in the UK.

GeekGold Bonus for All Supporters at year's end: 1000!
21 Days Left
Oi! Hands off...
A cosy trio in the back room of the White Lion this week, carefully avoiding all sorts of chaos in the public bar. It's a long time since I've seen anyone get thrown out of the White Lion, plus we had a pub crawl to contend with, and a friendly trio of corporate suits who 'thought we were playing Risk'. Well, it's better than Monopoly, I suppose.
Anyway, Becky and Ben had the Troyes board out and ready to go for Ian when he arrived. We'd all enjoyed it the week before and this week was no different. Our initial learning game allowed us to embark on more distinct strategies: Becky went for Cathedral and a money-rich strategy: Ian dabbled with bits and pieces before last-minute rush on the VPs by filling up nearly all the activity cards with his workers, and I launched a full-frontal attack on the Event cards, clocking up a mountain of unneeded Influence into the bargain. Despite being almost transparent about my character card (yes, Henry II, who rewards Event cards), the others didn't latch on quick enough, and I ended up with a fine old collection and six bonus VPs, which was enough for the win.
Every now and then, Becky gets a hankering to play Eurorails: a game which I don't dislike particularly, but it is something of an irritation that it takes up about 80% of a games evening. It's not exactly a game that lends itself to easy strategic session reporting, either!
To cut a long story short, Becky doddered about a bit in Central Europe before embarking on incessant and fruitless drawing of route cards, and Ian started off in Eastern Europe before embarking on a ridiculously optimistic trip to Portugal which plunged him horrendously into debt ("Does OWING £250m count as a victory condition?"). Meanwhile, I'd managed to construct a neat circular track up through Germany and France, over to the UK, across to Scandinavia and back down into Poland, and was ferrying goods about like nobody's business with my super-duper express locomotive. A double concession followed rather than see the game to its gritty and inevitable end. Perhaps not the most fulfilling game we've ever played, and certainly some way from the last time we played and the winning margin came down to literally the smallest possible margin.
A bit shocked to find it was already twenty past ten, we scoured about for a quick-ish closing game, and rapidly settled on Artus, partly due to Becky's guilt at buying it for my birthday but not having played it until now. It's a game I really enjoy, to be honest: playing the deck correctly to exhaustion is a very satisfactory process, especially when you realise that other players are going to have to make sub-optimum moves towards the end. I agree that it is probably best as 2-player, but it is not devoid of strategy with 3 or 4, and it's no more chaotic than Innovation, Yspahan or a number of other well-rated games.
Becky latched onto Artus quickly, declaring it as 'totally evil', in the best possible sense. Ian thought likewise, and there was much lip-smacking and teeth-sucking at the prospect of getting rid of difficult cards, as indeed should be the case with a good game of Artus. I clocked up a massive score early on with my 'opposite sign' scoring card, but taking a 20-point sacrifice shortly afterwards to change the position of the king was a good strategic move, which I justifiably feel able to boast about, having won by ten points or so with cards still remaining. A rare clean sweep of wins for me this week: can't pretend that happens every time - it's usually Tony's domain.
The last 'un before Essen next week, which is only of concern to Tony because the rest of us aren't going. But it's a good opportunity to foist our shopping lists onto him and his long-suffering van. We love you really, Boydell!

Sudanese security forces have fired tear gas at thousands of protesters who had gathered outside the army headquarters in Khartoum for a second night demanding that President Omar al-Bashir resign, witnesses said.
Several vehicles carrying security personnel arrived in the early hours of the morning at the site where protesters had been demonstrating continuously since Saturday.
"After that, security forces began firing tear gas at protesters," a witness said on condition of anonymity.
The gas was felt by residents in an upscale Khartoum district some 5km away from the army complex.
Thousands of protesters have been demonstrating since Saturday outside the army complex that also houses Mr Bashir's residence and the defence ministry.
Chanting anti-government slogans, protesters have been urging the military to back them in demanding Mr Bashir's resignation.
They accuse his administration of mismanaging the country's economy that has led to soaring food prices and regular shortages of fuel and foreign currency.
The veteran leader has acknowledged that the economic concerns raised by the protesters were "legitimate".
Protests first erupted on 19 December after a government decision to triple the price of bread.
But they quickly morphed into nationwide demonstrations against Mr Bashir's rule.
Officials say 32 people have died in protest related violence so far, while Human Rights Watch has put the death toll at 51.
In recent weeks, the scale and intensity of protests had dwindled due to a state of emergency imposed by Mr Bashir, but Saturday saw a resurgence with thousands of protesters staging a continuous rally outside the army complex.
Protest organisers chose 6 April for the latest rally to mark the 1985 uprising that toppled the regime of then president Jaafar Nimeiri.

If I wanted to stuff my face with Karamel Korn and funnel cakes, have my photo taken while sitting in the Dukes of Hazard General Lee car, play a round of putt putt golf in the world’s most interactive black light golf course, or attend any one of a dozen honky-tonk song and dance shows, Gatlinburg would be my perfect vacation destination. A veritable carnival midway designed to empty pockets and fill stomachs, this Tennessee city is definitely not my cup of tea.
Yet standing in stark contrast to Gatlinburg, Tennessee’s crass commercialism, the surrounding countryside overflows with natural beauty. Just a few miles east, the Middle Prong of the Little Pigeon River flows beneath a verdant green canopy, creating miniature white-water rapids as it deftly dodges protruding boulders. Tired from its descent, the river rests, becoming a mirror-smooth green pool. Some unknown visitor has painstakingly balanced rocks in these placid waters – a flock of birds feeding in the dusk. As daylight fades and temperatures drop, mist rises from the sun-warm water, curling around the stone birds. I hold my breath, afraid they will fly away if I make the slightest sound.
Tonight, in this enchanted cabin on the banks of Middle Prong, I am lulled to sleep by the tumbling creek and raindrops that have just begun to patter on the roof. It is hard to believe that I am anywhere near Gatlinburg.

The NHL announced a week or two ago that the long-standing 4-on-4 overtime format would be replaced by a 3-on-3 format. The American Hockey League adopted the format last season and now the NHL has decided to follow suit. The main reason for reducing the number of players on the ice after regulation is to decrease the number of games decided by shootouts. While some players support the format, others would definitely prefer not to. In the case of the Capitals, the team has a bevy of players to put on the ice.
Captain Alex Ovechkin told reporters at the 2015 NHL Awards in Las Vegas that he’d prefer it stay 4-on-4. But it may force Ovi to play more responsibly in his own zone; something he improved greatly in 2014-15. The Capitals will need Ovechkin on the ice in overtime, there’s no denying that. But if Ovechkin can’t consistently play defensively in his own zone, the Caps could struggle. But, as mentioned above, Head Coach Barry Trotz has plenty of reliable options to put on the ice. New additions T.J. Oshie and Justin Williams, along with established members of the team such as Nicklas Backstrom and Jay Beagle, all have the ability to give the Caps the coveted two-points.
When the shootout was first implemented in the 2005-06 season, the percentage of games decided by a shootout was 11.79. This season, the number was 14.12. That means that the number of games decided by a shootout has gone up every year since. The league acknowledges that they understand many fans like the shootout, and commissioner Gary Bettman said as much; though by using “market research” to prove it. But players and coaches have voiced displeasure in unison with Bettman’s continued statements.
It’s important to see the benefits that such a change would bring. Not only would there be more open ice in which players such as Ovechkin, Sidney Crosby, and Steven Stamkos could more easily use their offensive-prowess to help their teams win games, but it would be played at a much faster pace than 4-on-4 is.
Here’s a broader view of the new format in the way the AHL utilized it this season:
The AHL used 3-on-3 format this season, first changing the overtime period from five to seven minutes, playing 4-on-4 (the regular NHL overtime format) until the first whistle after the three-minute mark, then 3-on-3 from then till the end of the game. If it remains tied after that, THEN they go to a shootout.
Let’s take a look at potential lines for the Metropolitan division:
Washington capitals – the Caps had a bounce-back season under first-year Head Coach Barry Trotz, finishing second in the Metro division at the end of the season. The Caps’ outlook is promising with the recent additions:
Pittsburgh Penguins- with the acquisition of sniper Phil Kessel on July 1st, the Pens have three of the most dangerous offensive players in the game in Kessel, Crosby, and Evgeni Malkin. Their lines could look like this if they used all forwards:
New York Islanders- a familiar foe, the Isles have multiple weapons at their exposure.
New York Rangers- the reigning division champs, the Blueshirts bested the Capitals yet again in the second round, but did lose a few key players this offseason.
New Jersey Devils- the Devils have struggled to establish themselves as a successful team since their surprise run to the 2012 Stanley Cup Final.
Columbus Blue Jackets- after establishing themselves as a true playoff threat in 2013-14, the Jackets were detailed by injuries to key players. Nick Foligno and Ryan Johansen lead the way for the Jackets.
Carolina Hurricanes- after buying out former Capital Alex Semin, the Canes must continue to rebuild.
Philadelphia Flyers- after being handicapped by Chris Pronger’s monster contract for the last few seasons, the Flyers unloaded the deal to the Arizona Coyotes in exchange for Sam Gagner.

President Barack Obama and First Lady Michelle Obama sent a tribute video, which aired during the last episode of Sabado Gigante on Saturday.
Michelle Obama said Sabado Gigante has been an important part of the country's cultural life and the president said it has helped Americans appreciate that family comes first.
The last episode of the iconic show in Latino households had an unmistakable political component. Mario Kreutzberger, better known as Don Francisco, not only launched musical careers but also featured many elected officials.
Florida Republican Rep. Ileana Ros-Lehtinen came on the show bearing gifts for Don Francisco.
Influential Univision anchor Jorge Ramos came on for a segment to talk about Sabado Gigante's role in the aftermath of September 11 and Katrina, as well as to say that presidential candidates like George W. Bush have always had to stop by speak to him.
Hillary Clinton sent Univision a video Friday congratulating and thanking Don Francisco for his time on air.
The Obamas closed with a sentiment millions of Americans over the last half a century will understand: Saturdays just won't be the same, they said.

If you are planning to take out a car loan, it is important to have a good credit score. Your credit score for a car loan is a measure of your creditworthiness and is used by lenders to determine your risk as a borrower. If you have a good credit score required for a car loan, it will be easier for you to get approved, and you may even get a lower interest rate. Whereas, it is challenging to get approved for a car loan with low CIBIL scores.
In this blog, we will discuss why a credit score for a car loan is important, the impact of a good or bad credit score on a car loan, whether you can get a car loan with low CIBIL scores, and ways to improve your credit score for a car loan in India.
What is a credit score?
Your credit score is a three-digit number that represents your creditworthiness to lenders. It is calculated based on various factors such as your payment history, credit utilisation, credit history length, and the types of credit you have. A high credit score can help you qualify for a car loan with better terms and lower interest rates, whereas a car loan with a low CIBIL score can make it difficult to get approved or result in higher costs.
How is it calculated?
In India, the credit score is calculated based on the Credit Information Report (CIR) which is generated by the Credit Information Bureau (India) Limited (CIBIL). The CIR is based on an individual’s credit history and is used by financial institutions and banks to evaluate creditworthiness.
The CIR takes into account the following factors:
- Payment history: This looks at whether you have made your payments on time. Late or missed payments can negatively impact your score, while a history of on-time payments can boost it.
- Credit utilisation: This looks at how much of your available credit you are using. High balances on your credit cards, for example, can indicate that you are overextending yourself and may be a high-risk individual.
- Credit history length: This looks at how long you have had credit. A longer credit history can demonstrate to lenders that you are a responsible borrower.
- Credit mix: This looks at the different types of credit you have, such as credit cards, loans, and mortgages. A mix of different types of credit can demonstrate to lenders that you can handle different types of credit responsibly.
- New credit: This looks at how many new credit accounts you have recently opened. Opening too many new accounts at once can indicate that you are taking on too much debt and may be a higher risk.
CIBIL scores range between 300-900, and the higher the score, the better the creditworthiness. A score of 750 and above is considered to be a good credit score.
A minimum credit score for a car loan is 600, which is what most financial institutions will look at. You will not be approved for a car loan with low CIBIL scores. It’s important to note that the CIBIL score is just one factor that financial institutions consider when evaluating a loan application. Other factors such as income, employment, and collateral may also be considered.
Factors reducing and improving credit score
A few ways you can improve your credit score for a car loan in India, and some factors that reduce your credit score are:
- Make all of your payments on time: This is the most important factor that affects your credit score. Late or missed payments can significantly lower your credit score and make it harder for you to get approved for a car loan. Make sure to pay all of your bills, including credit card bills, on time to avoid late payment fees and to get the minimum credit score for a car loan.
- Keep your credit utilisation low: Your credit utilisation refers to the amount of credit you are using compared to your credit limit. For example, if you have a credit card with a limit of Rs. 100,000 and you have a balance of Rs. 30,000, your credit utilization is 30%. It is a good idea to keep your credit utilisation below 30% to improve your credit score. This shows lenders that you are using credit responsibly and not maxing out your credit cards. This is helpful when you apply for other loans like a car loan, personal loan or home loan.
- Check your credit report for errors: Review your credit report regularly and report any errors you find to the credit bureau. Mistakes on your credit report can lower your credit score and make it harder for you to get approved for a car loan. You can request a free copy of your credit report from the credit bureau once a year.
- Diversify your credit: Having a mix of different types of credit, such as a mortgage, car loan, and credit card, can improve your credit score. This is because it shows lenders that you can manage different types of credit responsibly.
- Avoid applying for new credit unnecessarily: Every time you apply for new credit, it can harm your credit score. This is because the lender will do a hard enquiry on your credit report, which can lower your score. Only apply for new credit when you really need it and try to avoid applying for too much credit at once.
- Pay off your debt: High levels of debt can lower your credit score and make it harder for you to get approved for a car loan. Try to pay off as much of your debt as possible, starting with the debts that have the highest interest rates. This will not only improve your credit score, but it will also save you money in the long run.
By following these tips, you can improve your credit score and increase your chances of getting approved for a car loan. It may take some time and effort, but a good credit score can have many benefits and is worth the investment.
Having a good credit score is important if you want to take out a car loan. It can make it easier for you to get approved and may also result in a lower interest rate. By making all of your payments on time, keeping your credit utilisation low, checking your credit report for errors, and diversifying your credit, you can improve your credit score and increase your chances of getting a car loan.

Beck: Obama Or Christie Would Totally Bomb America If It Served Their Purposes
During yesterday's morning meeting, Glenn Beck told his staff that he wasn't sure that President Obama or perhaps a future President Chris Christie would oppose government-orchestrated false flag attacks on the United States if such attacks served their political purposes.
Citing Operation Northwoods, a proposed series of false flag attacks against the United States designed to provide justification for military action against Cuba back in 1962 that was ultimately rejected by President Kennedy, Beck said that if such a plan was offered to someone like Barack Obama or Chris Christie today, they would endorse it.
"Is anybody sitting here telling me," Beck said, "that Chris Christie or Barack Obama would say that? If it served their purposes, ends justify the means, I'm not sure Operation Northwoods doesn't happen":

Chocolate and Strawberries make a perfect combination, but I've always been afraid of making chocolate dipped strawberries... I have no idea, just one of my weird quirks... So when I saw this awesome pin, I knew I wanted to try it!!
1. Find some really nice, red, big strawberries... the bigger, the better...
2. Wash them
3. Hull them with the handy dandy Pampered Chef Strawberry huller (which as far as I can tell is no longer sold through Pampered Chef... a shame, cause it's a fantastic kitchen tool)
4. Then scoop into the strawberry and get all the extra white flesh out...
5. Melt your chocolate chips in the microwave, at 30 second intervals until it's all melted
6. Then spoon the chocolate into the strawberries... Now here is where you might want to do it different from me and get a mini muffin tin! I went with the original idea of using old egg cartons and my sweet husband worried greatly about the germs from chicken eggs (ya know, cause I used to have chickens)
So go with a mini muffin tin to hold your strawberries upright while you put them in the fridge to harden a bit.
7. Then display on a nice serving plate and enjoy!!
Yum... now go make some!

Picture this: two male figure skaters who hate each other so much they get themselves banned from professional skating. They go off into depressing jobs, only to return to ice skating as the first male pair duo in ice skating history. Then, add Will Ferrell and Jon Heder to the mix.
Trust me, you will laugh.
If you liked Will Ferrell on “Saturday Night Live,” check this movie out. As Chazz Michael Michaels, Ferrell plays the sex icon of ice-skating who makes the women faint. Heder, meanwhile, plays Jimmy MacElroy, the squeaky-clean child star playing by the books.
MacElroy and Michaels square off in the championship and the two men end up in a tie for the gold medal, but sorry – there’s no skate-off in this movie. MacElroy and Michaels, having to share the first-place podium, end up fighting.
In the madness that ensues, a mascot gets set on fire, and the two men are bannished from skating. As their punishment, they are sent into a world without ice-skating. Both men fall into run-of-mill jobs, but hope is restored when a loophole is found: the only way the two rivals can ever skate again is to skate as a pair.
The highlight of the film has to be MacElroy and Michaels skating in their first competition as a duo. You won’t believe the different positions they find themselves in on the ice. As awkward as it is for a man to skate with another man, it is hilarious to watch, and this scene had the whole theater laughing.
This is the first major film for directors Josh Gordon and Will Speck. Although the film is produced by Ben Stiller, it may disappoint you in the end after sitting through all the cheesy dialogue. Ferrell once again plays the same over-the-top character we’ve seen in “Old School” and “Talladega Nights: The Ballad of Ricky Bobby.” This time, Ferrell plays a sex addict and yes, we see him strip down to his underwear yet another time. Ferrell is able to pull it off again, and makes this character undeniably funny.
Ferrell and Heder compliment each other well in the film and I was surprised at Heder’s performance. Even next to Ferrell, Heder was able to hold his own throughout the movie.
The movie has cameos from Owen Wilson and skating champions Sasha Cohen, Scott Hamilton and Nancy Kerrigan. Husband and wife Will Arnett and Amy Poehler star as a powerhouse skating duo and rival to MacElroy and Michaels. Jenna Fischer (“The Office”), Romany Malco (“40-year-old Virgin”) and William Fichtner (“The West Wing”) also star in the film. Craig T. Nelson from the show “Coach” even plays a coach.
His performance was weak and I think the directors miscast him for the role
While they are big names, the main characters were not as funny as they could have been. Luckily, Ferrell carries the film on his shoulders and still delivers an uproarious performance.

The Salamancan filmmaker, writer and director of Las truchas [Trout] and Divinas palabras [Divine Words], will receive the 62nd edition’s tribute at the Cinema Gala in Castilla León
José Luis García Sánchez (Salamanca, 1941) will receive the Valladolid International Film Festival’s Golden Spike of Honor in recognition of a five decade long career in which he has directed emblematic Spanish films such as Las truchas [Trout] (1978), Golden Bear at the Berlin International Film Festival, and Divinas Palabras [Divine Words] (1987). His illustrious career also includes writing the original screenplay for films such as Belle Époque [The Beautiful Era] (1992), for which he won the Goya Award for Best Original Screenplay. He would go on the following year to win Best Adapted Screenplay for his adaptation of Valle-Inclán’s Tirano Banderas [The Tyrant Banderas] (1993).
The director will receive this recognition on October 23rd at the Castilla León Cinema Gala. This event will precede the Festival’s homage to the recently deceased Basilio Martín Patino (Lumbrales, Salamanca, 1930 – Madrid, 2017), who, as a matter of fact, García Sánchez worked with at the beginning of his filmmaking career. The two shot Queridísimos verdugos [Dearest Executioners] (1973), about the last men to be executioners in Spain, together.
Born in Salamanca, José Luis García Sanchez graduated in Law and Sociology from the University of Madrid, and in Directing from the Official School of Cinematography. He is an editor of children’s books, as well as an assistant director and screenwriter for television and film. Such films include Corazón solitario [The Lonely Heart] (1972) and Furia española [Spanish Fury] (1975), both by Francesc Betriu, in addition to the aforementioned Queridísimos verdugos [Dearest Executioners], and, finally, Camada negra [Black Litter] (1977), by Manuel Gutiérrez Aragón.
García Sánchez made his directorial debut in 1972, with the comedy El love feroz [Ferocious Love]. After triumphing in the Berlin International Film Festival with Las truchas [Trout] (1978), he directed an episode of the series Cuentos para una escapada [Tales for an Escape] (1979), the documentary Dolores (1980), and feature films such as La corte del faraón [The Pharaoh’s Court], (1985), Divinas palabras [Divine Words] (1987), Pasodoble [Paso Doble] (1987), El vuelo de la paloma [The Flight of the Dove] (1988), which will be screened at the Castilla León Cinema Gala, or La noche más larga [The Longest Night] (1991).
In 1993 García Sánchez directed Tirano Banderas [The Tyrant Banderas], a new approach to the work of Valle-Inclán, after Divinas Palabras [Divine Words]. The film was screened in the Official Section of the 38th Week, and its lead actor, Gian Maria Volonté, won the Best Actor Award. García Sánchez returned to participate in the 49th Week with María querida [Dear Maria] (2004), a portrait of the famous thinker María Zambrano. Pilar Bardem, who played the titular character, went on to win the Award for Best Actress that year. Suspiros de España (y Portugal) [Sighs of Spain and Portugal] (1995), Siempre hay un camino a la derecha [There is Always a Right Way] (1997), Adiós con el corazón [Goodbye from the heart] (2000), Lázaro de Tormes (2001), La marcha verde [The Green March] (2002), Don Mendo Rock. ¿La venganza? [Don Mendo Rock. The Revenge?] (2010) and Los muertos no se tocan, nene [Do Not Touch The Dead, Darling] (2011) complete his filmography.

"The Cat and the Canary": Brutality Was Never This Beautiful
I’ve long since given up trying to figure out how and why Cartoon Network decides to schedule its “seasons”; one week after the premiere of the two-part “season finale” to Justice League Unlimited, the network is kicking off season two with “The Cat and the Canary.” There’s nothing very special about the premiere to the second season—except for the fact that it’s super-happy-terrific.
It’s got a tight little story. Wildcat has picked up a bad hobby, moonlighting as the champion in the Meta-Brawl tournaments, which are illicit no-holds-barred matches between superpowered fighters. Unhappy about this, Black Canary and Green Arrow stage an intervention. When Wildcat declines to take their advice (“declines” being a polite understatement to describe his reaction), they crash the next scheduled fight and give the salivating ring-side audience some real value for the entertainment dollar.
JLU has gotten some criticism for a lack of focus in its stories—the new team members sometimes seem like dangly bits hanging off the capes of the Big Four—but “The Cat and the Canary” focuses tightly on its three main characters and develops a strongly charged drama around them. Wildcat, Black Canary and Green Arrow are headstrong personalities, and they easily get up each others’ noses. Green Arrow’s fascination with Black Canary is surprisingly intense. When he flirts or sneaks a glance in her direction there’s nothing smirky or flirty about it; she raises his animal spirits, and he responds in ways that would leave lesser women with bruises and black eyes. A real element of danger, then, gets introduced when he jealously concludes that she is more interested in Wildcat. Black Canary doesn’t come off very nice either, showing herself not above manipulation and game playing in pursuit of other ends. Best of all is Wildcat, revealed here as an old, gray but hale warrior suffocating under the perceived condescension of his meta-powered colleagues. (There’s the strong implication that in beating the crap out of meta-powered scum he’s acting out fantasies he entertains toward fellow JLers.) Wildcat may be the angriest character we’ve seen yet in JLU, but there’s no showboating in his scenes. He retains a dignified gravity even when putting a fist through a solid concrete wall.
The human vs. superhuman angle isn’t played up, but it’s an example of some very subtle technique. This episode is not explicitly part of the “conspiracy” arc, but it appears to add a flourish to it. “Wake the Dead” stuck in a big exclamation point when it had crowd members jeer Shayera as a traitor; “The Cat and the Canary” makes a similar observation so allusively you might miss it. The crowd that bays for meta-human blood and adopts the avowedly “normal” Wildcat as its hero is not a scummy lot. (Most of them look positively swank.) But their fervent interest in the fights, along with Wildcat’s simmering rage, suggests the presence of a deep fissure running between the JLU and the rest of society, and maybe even running through the JLU itself. A more psychologically perceptive JLer—J’onn or Batman, say—might have looked into that crowd and felt a trickle of cold sweat run down the back of his head.
I’ve talked about the drama, but the fight scenes are sensational. The name “Joaquim Dos Santos” has become a watermark for great action, and that’s certainly true here. The episode opens with a bunkerbuster fight between Canary and some warehouse thugs. The climactic fight is also a stunner; though it’s quicker and cleaner, it’s also more powerful because of the way it lets all the twisted emotions explode outward physically. But even in its small moments the direction shines: a quick insert shot of Green Arrow taking his hand off Black Canary’s hip tells us more clearly than could any bit of dialogue what is going through Arrow’s mind at the moment.
This is a very noir story. “The Cat and the Canary” may share its title with a Bob Hope spook-comedy, but it’s actually very much like an old RKO B-feature of the forties, such as Out of the Past or Farewell, My Lovely: a brutal little story about angry people who can never step completely out of the shadows because they carry the shadows wrapped about their very souls. Coming only a week after the second volume DVD release of Batman: The Animated Series, it shows that the DC animated team can still tell dark, moody stories even as they have made vast strides in staging and action techniques.
Cartoon Network’s scheduling habits are, as I said above, inexplicable: they have recently chosen not to rerun Justice League Unlimited episodes following their premieres. Do not miss “The Cat and the Canary,” which airs this Saturday (February 5) at 8:30pm (ET/PT).

Missouri public defender system focus of hearing
Saturday, November 13, 2010 | 4:14 p.m. CST
SPRINGFIELD — Prosecutors and public defenders testified during a hearing about whether the Missouri State Public Defender System can manage caseloads by occasionally refusing new cases.
The state public defender commission asked the Missouri Supreme Court to rule on the matter after a judge overruled a Christian County public defender's refusal to take a case.
The hearing was held Friday in Springfield so retired Circuit Judge Miles Sweeney, who has been appointed "special master" in the case, can compile evidence for the supreme court to review.
The Springfield News-Leader reports that Douglas Copeland, a member of the public defender commission, testified that some additional state funding had not had a significant impact on caseloads.
Prosecutors criticized caseload calculations used by the public defender system and said its policies for determining indigence also need improvement.
