PABLO DUER, ARGENTINE CORRESPONDENT WITH AN IMPORTANT PROFESSIONAL TRAJECTORY IN ISRAEL

Image
  JOURNALISTIC VOCATION AND INSPIRATION Last Tuesday, October 20, we had the pleasure of interviewing Pablo Duer: a journalist from our country, who currently resides in Jerusalem (Israel). Nowadays, he is a messenger in charge of reporting everything that happens in the country in terms of politics. What made him choose that career was people (their emotions, stories, experiences, etc.), talking to them, telling their story, allowing them to have a voice, fill it up and inspire it.  A journalist must be curious, good at connecting people, outgoing and intelligent. This features also describe Pablo’s personality. Furthermore, the most important tasks are: not to forget about any stories, look for interesting elements and try to bring new things to reality. Among all the interesting things we learned about him, one of them was the work which he felt the proudest of: four years ago he wrote about testimonials from anonymous people on an airline that had a failure and collided.

WHIPLASH

Image
Whiplash is the first movie entirely written and directed by Damien Chazelle, one of my favourite directors, probably most known for the extremely successful “Lalaland”. However, it is Whiplash the small and captivating story that firstly introduced many people to this wonderful artist. The story revolves around the conflict between the two main characters, Andrew and Fletcher, and their shared obsession with perfection. Andrew is a young talented drummer who has recently entered a prestigious music academy. Fletcher, impersonated by the fantastic J.K. Simmons, is an old musician that directs the academy’s main jazz orchestra. In the beginning, Fletcher gives Andrew the chance of playing in his band, seeming to be a kind and friendly man, nevertheless, it does not take long before Andrew and the audience discover the truth behind this character. Fletcher is actually a rageous psycho that will not accept anything but perfection from his musicians. Here is where the movie gets really eng...

Interestelar

Image
  Directed by Christopher Nolan, Interstellar is a gloriously rich drama set in American Midwest. The three hours fly by as we are captured by the story and its characters, played by a star-studded cast, including Matthew McConaughey, Anne Hathaway, Jessica Chastain and Matt Damon. The plot revolves around Cooper, whose intellect and abilities are needed in a NASA mission aiming to look for a planet that has the right environment to sustain life. We definitely recommend this movie as it was a total box-office success, won an Oscar for Best Visual Effects and we personally consider it a truly masterpiece This review has been written by GASTALDO María and ROJO POLERO Delfina

The odyssey of the Giles

Image
The odyssey of the Giles is a very good film. This is a group of neighbors organized to carry out a project to help alleviate the crisis. However, in the midst of this little pen in which they are victims of a lawyer and a banker, they will organize to plan how to recover their savings. I recommend watching The Odyssey of the Giles, why? Well, because it's a very good movie  that will at least guarantee laughter, a development of very good characters, unexpected plot shreds, and very good actors.

SHUTTER ISLAND

Shutter Island is a 2010 American psychological thriller film directed by Martin Scorsese and written by Laeta Kalogridis, based on Dennis Lehane's 2003 novel of the same name. Leonardo DiCaprio stars as Deputy U.S. marshal who is investigating a psychiatric facility on Shutter Island after one of the patients goes missing. Mark Ruffalo plays his partner and fellow deputy marshal; Ben Kingsley is the facility's lead psychiatrist; Max von Sydow is a German doctor; and Michelle Williams is Daniels's wife. The movie was released on February 19, 2010 and received mostly positive reviews from critics. Shutter Island is really hard to understand. Each scene provides a turn against their leads and compels them to look for more whilst searching in places we couldn't comprehend, including their minds. Leonardo DiCaprio and Mark Ruffalo feed off each other and supply great performances for their characters as expected. Each character brought so much dramatics and new questions to...

The other side of the crisis, a social pandemic no government seem to notice

  While Argentina hits one million COVID-19 cases, and the provinces struggle to face the pick of cases, women are still suffering from domestic violence, an epidemic that never seems to go away and no government can eradicate. There has been 213 femicides since the beginning of the year, as women have been forced live with their abuser (statistics show that 63% of femicide victims are killed usually bi their a partner or ex-partner). The restrictions of quarantine had exacerbated the situation: The National Women, Gender and Diversity Ministry has reported a 25-percent increase in calls to the 144 Gender Violence Helpline. Some of the reacent victims these past months:   ·        August 29: Cesia Nicole Reinaga, 20, disappeared; her body was found 10 days later dumped in a disused slaughterhouse ·        September 23: Iara Rueda, 16, from Palpala, wnt cycling in the early evening; her body was found five days later s...

Will Argentina be able to overcome the economic crisis?

Since the beginning of time, Argentina's economy has been suffering and, therefore, its citizens as well. Statistics claim that every year, Argentinian prices rise approximately 33.6%. With a global context that is thought to encourage a 4.4% drop in global growth, Argentina and its government have an extremely difficult and tiring task ahead: boosting the economy´s blossom, and not destroying it. Despite the government's fruitless effort to fight inflation: having recorded an inflation of 22.3% annually and a 2.8% monthly (increases focused on clothing and footwear, up 5.8%, and alcoholic beverages and tobacco, up 4.3 %), Fernandez rejects the devaluation of the peso and begins to open its industries. That is why, this week the return of commercial flights was approved, having to follow the recommended procedures and protocols.

THE MANDALORIAN

Image
A long time ago, in a galaxy far far away, despite the fall of the Galactic Empire, some remnants still could be found in the most uncivilised places of the galaxy, in the outer rim. These places were useful for bounty hunters and smugglers to find their next job. In this context, our protagonist, the Mandalorian, interpreted by Pedro Pascal, finds himself trapped in a dilemma after he was sent to kill a bounty. This gets trickier when the bounty is revealed as a child, and not a common one. With awesome action scenes, the cutest moments in the TV history, an amazing plot and remarkable directors, such as Jon Favreau, Taika Waititi and Bryce Howard, and of course, with the help of George Lucas and Dave Filoni, this space western delightful and surprises us every minute. We highly recommend this series, with the next season airing at the end of October. This article has been written by LUKJANIEC Juan Manuel, ORTEGA Lautaro and SÁNCHEZ Santiago.

BROKEBACK MOUNTAIN

Image
The film tells the story of Ennis Del Mar (Heath Ledger) and Jack Twist (Jake Gyllenhaal), two young men who met and fell in love during the summer of 1963 while shepherding sheep on Brokeback Mountain, in Wyoming, United States. Based on a short story by Pulitzer winner Annie Proulx, Brokeback Mountain takes us back to the traditional American society of the 1960s. Jack and Ennis are going to be in charge of a whole summer herding sheep in a mountain area in Wyoming. After weeks of work, with the unapproachable landscape as a refuge, and with a few more whiskeys on his body, one night a sexual encounter breaks out. The next day, in a conversation of no more than three lines, both decide to make it private. And even though they pretend to deny themselves, the instinct is stronger. It´s modern classic that, thanks to the incredible performances of Heath Ledger and Jake Gyllenhaal and the delicate direction of Ang Lee, won an Oscar. 'Brokeback Mountain' is a tender film about a t...

THOUGHTFUL POLITICAL CRITICISM

Image
The manifesto of the communist party, this literary piece that revolutionized the world of sociology as well as human relations and forms of production is one of the greatest works of humanity.  I consider it important to recommend it not only from the literary or academic point of view, but in a context of great social tensions where terms such as Marxism or dictatorship are located within the state organization.  It seems important to me to resort to the different historical and sociological sources that mark a great base of differences between Peronism, populism or even fascism.

Drug-related deaths reached an alarming number in 2019 and 2020

Image
  Sadly, the drug-related crisis has been rapidly worsening throughout the years and experts are finding it extremely difficult to stop this delicate and tragic situation. Particularly in England and Wales, the numbers have hit a record and the female situation has proven to be much more serious, with a higher mortality than men. What is thought to be the reason for this difference is that women have difficulty in finding help as drug services are mainly dominated by men. What is more, if these women are mothers, they also fear that when admitting their addiction, the social services might take their children away from them.

Trump vs Biden

Image
  The first television debate between Trump and Biden was heavily criticized for the constant interruptions and President Trump's poor development of proposals for today is scheduled for the second debate, but every 1 will speak on another Trump television channel on NBC for 60 minutes and Biden on ABC for 90 minutes. The decision was made by Trump after he had contracted coronavirus. Biden has an advantage of 11 points of intent to vote against Trump. This means Biden has a 53% electoral.

CLONE WARS

Image
A long time ago, in 2008, Lucasfilm started a project, fully supported by George Lucas. This project consisted of an animated series called “The Clone Wars”. It didn't start as good as they expected, but with a lot of dedication, and a huge love for the Star Wars saga, it has become the most remarkable series of all time, loved by all the fans. “The Clone Wars” is set in the fictional universe of George Lucas, between the events occurred in “The Attack of the Clones” and “The Revenge of the Siths”, depicting us different stories from lots of points of view. However, we can distinguish a main group of characters: Ahsoka Tano, Anakin Skywalker and Captain Rex. We follow them from the beginning of their journey in the 501st legion, when Ahsoka is named Anakin's apprentice. The characters are portrayed in such a way that we sympathize with them all the time (mainly with Ahsoka). We celebrate their victories, and we suffer their problems, until we reach the last four episodes, in wh...

LAURA ZALAZAR, AN ARGENTINIAN TEACHING IN THE UNITED STATES

Image
On Tuesday, October 13, we interviewed Mrs Zalazar about her personal life and her academic path. Laura is an Argentine English teacher who worked here in Buenos Aires in some primary and secondary schools. She applied for the Fulbright Scholarship and got elected for an educational exchange program in the United States for one year. She gave us some insight on the TOEFL exam, which is a necessary requirement for foreign students that apply for scholarships in the U.S.A. She also told us about the many trips she has done around the globe. She mentioned that it is difficult to adapt to the American culture since people are different and you don't get to connect with them. Unless they are latinos or Argentines they are not going to stay the whole day in your house. She also told us that there is a kind of group called “La comunidad” and they are the people that she is closer to because it’s hard to connect with American people. Regarding what she likes about the United States and its...

FIRE IN BARILOCHE

Image
Bariloche woke up today covered with smoke and the smell of different gases due to a fire in the Municipal Urban Waste Center (CRUM) that started yesterday at noon and that persisted during the night until it was suffocated by the Fire Prevention and Fighting Service Forest (Splif). The incident broke out at noon yesterday and initially it was the local workers themselves who tried to extinguish the flames, according to the Río Negro newspaper. After 7:00 p.m., the fire began to increase, so the Splif's help was requested. After intense work during the night, the flames were contained but the smoke took the sky of Bariloche. According to the first investigations, the focus would have originated in the household waste sector, but grew when it came into contact with forest waste. REFERENCES Soler, P.

Pedestrians wearing protective face masks walk past the Westpac Banking Corp Westpac, one of Australia's largest banks, announced the settlement with AUSTRAC, an Australian crime-fighting regulator, for the $ 1.3 billion Australian dollar fine. The Bank admitted that it violated anti-money laundering and terrorist financing laws more than 23 million times. If the fine is approved by an Australian court, it would be the largest corporate penalty in the country's history. Nicole Rose, executive director of AUSTRAC, said "We have been, and will continue to work collaboratively with Westpac and all businesses we regulate to support them to meet their compliance and reporting obligations to ensure this doesn't happen again in the future”.
