text:
Quarto di sette figli, tutti figli dell'ex Presidente Eduardo Frei Montalva e dell'ex Primera Dama del Paese, María Ruiz-Tagle Jiménez. Ha ricoperto la carica presidenziale nel periodo tra il 1994 e 2000 e attualmente è senatore della Repubblica rappresentante della Regione di Los Ríos per il periodo 2006-2014.

Il suo mandato è stato incentrato sul trasformare il Cile in un paese "regionalista aperto", oltre a rafforzare i legami con gli altri paesi dell'America Latina e del Mondo. Sotto la sua presidenza il Cile è entrato a far parte del Mercosur come membro associato e ha stipulato trattati di libero commercio con gli Stati Uniti, la Cina, i paesi dell'Unione europea e altre nazioni dell'Asia.

La sua amministrazione è stata la seconda dopo la caduta del regime fascista-militare di Augusto Pinochet ed è stata caratterizzata dall'alta crescita economica in particolare nei primi quattro anni del suo mandato, progressi nelle opere di infrastruttura per mezzo di società private, riforme nell'istruzione e l'inizio di una storica riforma della giustizia.

Frei è stato il candidato della coalizione di centro-sinistra rappresentata dalla Concertazione dei Partiti per la Democrazia alle elezioni presidenziali del 2009, ma è risultato sconfitto con il 48% dei voti contro lo sfidante Sebastián Piñera.

Biografia
Eduardo Frei Ruiz-Tagle è il quarto figlio dell'ex Presidente Eduardo Frei Montalva e della ex Prima signora del Cile Maria Ruiz-Tagle. Frei Ruiz-Tagle iniziò i suoi studi primari e secondari all'Istituto Luis Campino di Santiago, scuola gestita dall'Arcivescovo di Santiago che si trova nel sobborgo della Providencia. In questa scuola suo padre è stato sia alunno che professore.

Successivamente frequentò la Facoltà di Scienze Fisiche e Matematiche dell'Università del Cile dove si laureò come ingegnere idraulico. Durante il periodo universitario incominciò la sua carriera di rappresentante degli studenti. Tra il 1967 e il 1968 visse in Italia, per effettuare un tirocinio alla Snam Progetti a Milano e dove si specializzò in amministrazione e tecniche gestionali aziendali.

Il 5 maggio 1969 ritornò in Cile per lavorare nell'azienda Sigdo Koppers S.A., come ingegnere, lontano dalla vita politica; in quel periodo suo padre era Presidente del Cile (tra il 1964 e il 1970).

In questa azienda Frei Ruiz-Tagle partecipò anche alla distribuzione degli utili, divenendo di fatto socio dell'azienda. In seguito partecipò anche ad altri progetti imprenditoriali, per esempio nel 1974 entrò come socio nell'azienda statale Compañía de Acero del Pacífico (CAP), di cui lo Stato, proprietario, aveva deciso di vendere una parte ai privati.

Con il proposito di dedicarsi interamente alla politica, nel 1987 decise di vendere la sua quota della Sigdo Koppers, stimata attorno al 12% del capitale sociale, pari a 650 milioni di pesos del tempo. Inoltre delegò la gestione del suo patrimonio al fratello Javier.

Partecipò indirettamente ad altre società e il suo patrimonio è stimato attorno ai 4-5 milioni di dollari.

Nel 1982, a seguito della morte del padre, avvenuta in circostanze non chiare, con il sospetto di avvelenamento da parte della giunta militare di Augusto Pinochet, Frei fonda la fondazione "Eduardo Frei Montalva" in onore del padre e riprende la carriera politica nelle file dell'opposizione assieme al suo partito, il Partito Democratico Cristiano del Cile, e ai movimenti della sinistra socialdemocratica che parteciparono al governo di Salvador Allende prima del golpe del 1973. Frei Ruiz-Tagle è stato uno dei sostenitori della creazione della coalizione di centro-sinistra Concertación de Partidos por la Democracia, formata da Partito Democratico Cristiano del Cile, Partito per la Democrazia, Partito Socialista del Cile e Partito Radicale Social Democratico.

Con il ritorno alla democrazia e la vittoria della Concertación con il suo candidato democristiano Patricio Aylwin, Frei Ruiz-Tagle venne eletto come Senatore nella Regione di Santiago.

Presidenza

Frei Ruiz-Tagle è stato candidato alla Presidenza della Repubblica della Concertación de Partidos por la Democracia, la coalizione di centro-sinistra alla guida del Cile dalla caduta del regime del generale Augusto Pinochet. Prima di essere stato nominato candidato della coalizione ha partecipato alle elezioni primarie in cui ha sfidato il leader socialista Ricardo Lagos. Queste primarie si sono svolte domenica 23 maggio 1993 e Frei ha ottenuto il 60,7% dei voti contro il 39,3% di Lagos. A seguito di tale sconfitta tutta la coalizione, compresi i socialisti, hanno dichiarato il loro appoggio incontrastato al candidato democristiano.

Alle elezioni presidenziali del 1993 sconfigge Arturo Alessandri Besa candidato di orientamento di centrodestra, nipote dell'ex Presidente Arturo Alessandri Palma, candidato della coalizione di destra Alianza por Chile.

L'11 marzo 1994 si è insediato come nuovo Presidente della Repubblica succedendo al compagno di partito e di coalizione Patricio Aylwin.

Programma di governo
Eduardo Frei ha presentato il suo programma di governo il 21 maggio 1994 in occasione della cerimonia dell'inizio dell'anno legislativo del Congresso Nazionale Cileno.
La sua amministrazione aveva come obiettivo di stabilire dei punti cardine da conseguire per il progresso del Cile nella seconda fase dal ritorno alla democrazia.

Il nuovo governo ha intenzione di proseguire e di concludere la transizione alla democrazia iniziata con Aylwin e di terminarla con la riconciliazione con i militari e con alcuni settori della destra deviati con la dittatura militare. L'economia è il punto fondamentale della politica del governo, in particolare la crescita economica, le privatizzazioni e la firma di trattati di libero commercio con alcuni paesi dell'Europa, America, Asia. La parola chiave del governo è lo sviluppo con equità nel rispetto e tutela dei meno abbienti del Paese.

Sui temi sociali il governo Frei s'impegna a ridurre la povertà già diminuita sotto il governo precedente passando dal 45% al 36% e obiettivo del governo e di portarla al di sotto al 30. Riforma della sanità e dell'istruzione sono altri obiettivi di questo governo.

La prima proposta presentata e portata a termine è l'aumento dei salari alle fasce di popolazione meno abbienti, di aumentare il potere d'acquisto combattendo l'inflazione e di aumentare la competitività delle imprese cilene all'estero.

Conduzione dell'economia

Principale obiettivo del Presidente Frei è di espandere l'economia del Cile e di integrarla con gli altri paesi. Per quattro anni la crescita è stata elevata toccando il 7,8% di crescita ma a partire dal 1998 la crescita è calata fino al 3,23% a seguito della crisi finanziaria che ha colpito l'Asia nel 1997, questo ha provocato un calo delle esportazioni verso l'estero e anche l'aumento dei tassi d'interesse sui prodotti esportati. Nei primi mesi del 1999 l'economia è entrata in fase di recessione calando fino a -0,76%, per la prima volta dai tempi della dittatura negli anni ottanta.

Questa contrazione ha provocato l'aumento della disoccupazione che è arrivata fino al 10,1% nel 1999. Il paese ha anche problemi di energia in quanto questo periodo è stato caratterizzato da clima secco e poco piovoso che ha provocato il prosciugamento di alcuni corsi d'acqua da cui si fornivano le centrali idroelettriche del Cile provocando anche gravi problemi alla fornitura di energia elettrica. Per questo motivo il Cile firma degli accordi con la vicina Argentina affinché le fornisse gas naturale da utilizzare in questo campo.

Sul versante della povertà riuscirà a diminuirla ma a ritmi inferiori rispetto agli altri anni. Per questo motivo il ministro delle Finanze Eduardo Aninat dello stesso partito del Presidente decise di rimettere il mandato e di essere sostituito.

Sul piano delle opere pubbliche il ministro Ricardo Lagos annuncia la prosecuzione dei lavori nei cantieri per la costruzione di nuove autostrade e di nuove infrastrutture d'interesse nazionale e su questi progetti vengono investiti milioni di dollari. Viene portato a termine il tratto autostradale tra La Serena e Puerto Montt su cui il governo aveva investito circa 1.500 milioni di dollari oltre la ristrutturazione dell'Aeroporto Internazionale di Santiago.

Per poter uscire dalla crisi economica lo Stato Cileno comincia a privatizzare alcuni settori della sanità ma anche alcuni porti commerciali di rilevanza nazionale come quello di Valparaíso, San Antonio e San Vicente de Tagua Tagua ricavando rispettivamente 1800 e 294 milioni di dollari e portando a termine un progetto iniziato dal 1995 e ratificato dal Congresso.

Politiche sociali
Dal punto di vista dell'istruzione, il governo di Eduardo Frei Ruiz-Tagle, grazie alla grande crescita economica, portò a termine diverse riforme sul sistema scolastico del Cile, come quella delle materie curricolari, dell'allungamento della giornata scolastica degli studenti, della costruzione di nuove scuole. Il governo nel 1995 ha portato a termine anche la riforma degli insegnanti modificando lo "Statuto dei Docenti" aumentando lo stipendio. Nonostante questi benefici si sono svolti diversi scioperi.

Sulla sanità la spesa dello Stato è aumentata notevolmente nei sei anni del governo di Frei Ruiz-Tagle ma la gestione di tale settore non è migliorato notevolmente. Il ministro della Sanità Carlos Massad è rimasto in carica per poco tempo perché accusato da alcuni dirigenti di associazioni mediche di essere un economista e non un medico quindi non competente della gestione del settore. Il governo ha sviluppato un sistema sanitario locale e ha ristrutturato FONASA, il fondo nazionale sanitario.

In ambito della giustizia, nel 1999 Frei presentò la Riforma Processuale Penale con la nomina del Pubblico ministero nazionale e nel gennaio del 2000 di quelli regionali. Tale riforma è stata condotta dalla ministra della Giustizia Soledad Alvear Valenzuela. Il nuovo modello della giustizia è stato poi applicato dal successore Presidente Ricardo Lagos Escobar. Durante il mandato di Frei Ruiz-Tagle sono stati effettuati polemici indulti a narcotrafficanti palesemente colpevoli.

Nel mese di aprile 1997 il governo ha annunciato la chiusura del giacimento carbonifero di Lota facente parte dell'Impresa Nazionale del Carbone (ENACAR). Il governo si è giustificato affermando che la produzione annuale era inferiore ai costi sostenuti dallo Stato. Circa 1.350 lavoratori hanno perso il lavoro nella città in cui era localizzato questo giacimento, nel centro-sud del paese.

Politica estera
Dal punto di vista della politica estera il governo di Eduardo Frei Ruiz-Tagle ha avuto come principale obiettivo di migliorare le relazioni estere con i paesi dell'America Latina, del Nord America, dell'Europa e dell'Asia soprattutto dal punto di vista economico stipulando diversi trattati di libero commercio con: Canada, Messico, i paesi dell'America centrale, Perù e con i paesi aderenti al Mercosur oltre a Stati Uniti che verrà però ratificato dal governo successivo.

Il Cile durante la sua amministrazione aderisce all'Organizzazione Mondiale del Commercio e l'APEC, l'associazione che riunisce i paesi affacciati sull'Oceano Pacifico. Con questo periodo il Cile ha raggiunto il massimo delle relazioni estere con i suoi vicini e il resto del Mondo.

Nel 1996 a Santiago del Cile e a Viña del Mar si svolge il VI Vertice Iberoamericano e in questa occasione Frei Ruiz-Tagle incontra il Re di Spagna Juan Carlos I.

Nello stesso anno Bill Clinton, presidente degli USA, visita il paese in occasione del secondo vertice delle Americhe e affermerà che E. Frei è il miglior leader della regione ed è un esempio di stabilità politica ed economica da seguire.

Sotto il suo governo viene stipulato l'accordo su Campo Hielo del Sur che era causa di controversie con l'Argentina.

Il problema Pinochet
Quando Frei entrò in carica Pinochet era ancora il capo delle Forze armate cilene e lo restò fino al 1998, quando divenne senatore a vita.

In seguito ad un accordo fra Pinochet e Andrés Zaldívar, presidente del Senato, quest'ultimo votò per l'abolizione del giorno festivo dell'11 settembre, ricorrenza del colpo di Stato del 1973, fino a quel giorno Pinochet e i suoi sostenitori avevano respinto ogni tentativo Nel settembre dello stesso anno Pinochet si recò a Londra per subire un intervento chirurgico.

In base ad un mandato di cattura internazionale emesso dal giudice spagnolo Baltasar Garzón Pinochet venne incriminato a Londra per la morte di cittadini spagnoli durante la dittatura cilena. A sostegno di questa richiesta si espressero le sentenze dell'Audiencia Nacional di Madrid e della Camera dei Lord di Londra, richiamandosi al principio della difesa universale dei Diritti dell'Uomo e stabilendo rispettivamente che la Giustizia spagnola era competente per giudicare i fatti avvenuti durante la dittatura militare in Cile - dal momento che si tratta di "crimini contro l'umanità" che colpiscono, come soggetto giuridico, il genere umano nel suo insieme - e che i presunti autori di gravi delitti contro l'umanità, come appunto Pinochet, non godono di immunità per i loro crimini, neanche se si tratta di capi di Stato o ex capi di Stato. Tuttavia il 2 marzo 2000 il laburista Jack Straw, ministro dell'Interno del Regno Unito, appellandosi alle cagionevoli condizioni di salute di Pinochet decise di negare l'estradizione in Spagna e permettere quindi il suo ritorno in Cile. A Santiago il giudice Juan Guzmán ordinò l'arresto di Pinochet, che tuttavia ottenne gli arresti domiciliari.

Candidatura alle elezioni del 2009

Inizi
Fin dall'anno 2007 Eduardo Frei ha espresso la sua volontà di candidarsi nel 2009 e per questo comincia a presentare alcune proposte al suo partito ma anche al governo. Nel frattempo ricopriva la carica di Presidente del Senato fin dall'11 marzo 2006 ma non risultava essere favorito né all'interno della sua coalizione né nei sondaggi. I principali aspiranti alle elezioni presidenziali del 2009 all'interno della Concertación de Partidos por la Democracia erano Soledad Alvear presidente del Democratico Cristiano del Cile, l'ex Presidente Ricardo Lagos Escobar del PPD-PS e José Miguel Insulza del PS.

Nel corso dell'inverno del 2008 Frei ritorna sulla scena, costituendo un proprio sito web e anche una fondazione chiamata come Oceanos Ázules, incaricata nel formare il proprio programma di governo. A seguito delle elezioni municipali di ottobre, occasione in cui il centrosinistra risulta essere superato per la prima volta dalla destra dal 1990 anche se per un esiguo margine, la leader democristiana Alvear rinuncia la presidenza del suo partito e alla candidatura presidenziale e qualche mese dopo, il 4 dicembre, Lagos annuncia che non parteciperà alla competizione elettorale.

Gli unici rimasti come potenziali candidati della coalizione sono lo stesso Frei, Insulza e anche il leader radicale José Antonio Gómez.

Il 13 dicembre il PDC proclama Frei come suo candidato presidente alle elezioni primarie. Dopo la proclamazione da parte del suo partito, è stato nominato candidato anche dal Partito Socialista e del Partito per la Democrazia tra dicembre 2008 e gennaio 2009 a seguito del ritiro dell'ex Presidente Ricardo Lagos, il 4 dicembre del 2008, e del Segretario Generale dell'Organizzazione degli Stati Americani, José Miguel Insulza, un mese dopo. L'appoggio del Partito Radicale Social Democratico, il più piccolo coalizione, lo ha ottenuto il 5 aprile 2009, dopo aver sconfitto José Antonio Gómez alle elezioni primarie tenutesi nelle regioni O'Higgins e Maule, ottenendo una percentuale sufficiente per terminare la competizione interna.

Il 4 gennaio José Miguel Insulza annuncia il suo ritiro dalla corsa presidenziale lasciando come unico candidato Frei. Il Partito Radicale Social Democratico annuncia che candiderà Gómez alle primarie e rivendicando la necessità di organizzare le primarie. Il 17 gennaio il Partito Socialista del Cile assieme al suo leader Camilo Escalona annuncia l'appoggio del partito a Frei per le elezioni primarie. Tuttavia alcuni dissidenti non condividono tale scelta e decidono di abbandonare il partito come Jorge Arrate che sceglierà di approdare nella Juntos Podemos Más, (sinistra radicale) e Marco Enríquez-Ominami che sceglierà di presentarsi come indipendente. Il 24 gennaio il Partito per la Democrazia a seguito di una votazione interna proclama Frei come suo candidato presidenziale.

Elezioni primarie e proclamazione
Il 26 gennaio 2009 entrambi i candidati si iscrivono come candidati alle primarie.
Molti esponenti della DC e del PS hanno fatto pressioni sul candidato radicale affinché si ritirasse e decidesse di appoggiare il candidato del blocco PDC-PS-PPD ma sia Frei che Gómez criticano questa scelta. Intanto il consiglio nazionale della Conceración stabilisce che le primarie si terranno a livello regionale e la prima tornata si terrà nella Regione del Maule e nella Regione del Libertador General Bernardo O'Higgins il 5 aprile e se in questa tornata il candidato vincitore conseguisse il 20% in più rispetto all'altro candidato veniva automaticamente proclamato presidenziale della coalizione.

Il 1º marzo 2009 inizia ufficialmente la campagna per le primarie e Frei conta di essere eletto con un margine superiore del 20% al fine di essere proclamato come candidato ufficiale della coalizione. Sulla carta Frei dovrebbe farcela dato che il blocco PS-PPD-PDC rappresenta il 90% della coalizione di centrosinistra ma non tutti gli elettori socialisti e socialdemocratici è sostenitore del democristiano Frei e per questo nei sondaggi Frei ottiene il 60% mentre il suo sfidante circa il 25% contro il 15% che è indeciso. In ogni caso qualsiasi risultato dovesse ottenere il radicale verrebbe comunque visto come una vittoria dato che supererebbe quel 10% di rappresentanza e di valenza nella Concertación e ciò provocherebbe una richiesta di maggior presenza nelle decisioni della coalizione.

Il 30 marzo si tiene un dibattito tra i due candidati alle primarie e secondo i sondaggi risulta vincitore Frei.

Il 5 aprile si tengono le elezioni primarie e Frei ottiene un'ampia vittoria con circa il 65% contro il 35% di José Antonio Gómez.

Campagna presidenziale

Dopo la proclamazione come candidato unico della coalizione avvenuta lunedì 6 aprile 2009 Eduardo Frei inizia la campagna elettorale per le presidenziali di dicembre. Frei cerca di presentarsi come un candidato presidenziale con idee progressiste a causa delle perplessità di alcuni settori della sinistra concertazionista che considerano la presidenza di Frei tra il 1994 e il 2000 troppo incline al centrismo e al pragmatismo. Per esempio Frei partecipa alle Progressive Governance Conference, una sorta di internazionale di tutti i partiti e governi di tendenza progressista e di centrosinistra.

Partecipano alla conferenza la presidente Michelle Bachelet (sostenitrice di Frei), la presidente dell'Argentina Cristina Fernández de Kirchner, Tabaré Vázquez presidente dell'Uruguay, Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva presidente del Brasile, Joe Biden vicepresidente degli Stati Uniti d'America, José Luis Rodríguez Zapatero capo del governo di Spagna, Jens Stoltenberg primo ministro di Norvegia e leader di partiti progressisti all'opposizione come Dario Franceschini del Partito Democratico. Nel mese di marzo si reca in visita dal presidente Lula e da Zapatero al fine di rafforzare le relazioni con questi due paesi.

I sondaggi pubblicati successivamente alle elezioni primarie del 2009 indicano un certo rafforzamento del candidato Frei nei confronti del candidato dell'Alianza por Chile Sebastián Piñera, travolto dallo scandalo legato alle Fasa, la compagnia delle farmacie cilene, di cui è azionista e ciò ha provato sdegno in quanto conferma l'enorme conflitto d'interessi legato alla sua vita imprenditoriale.

Il programma di governo di Frei Ruiz-Tagle è in corso di elaborazione da parte della sua fondazione Oceanos Ázules, che si occupa assieme alla squadra di campagna elettorale del candidato e della coalizione di centrosinistra dell'organizzazione della campagna presidenziale.

Tuttavia nonostante l'indebolimento del suo principale avversario Frei deve fare i conti con il deputato dissidente della Concertación Marco Enríquez-Ominami che ha abbandonato il suo partito, quello socialista, per candidarsi come indipendente, in quanto non ha accettato la candidatura del senatore della DC. Enríquez-Ominami ottiene un'importante ascesa testimoniato dal sondaggio di TNS-Time Chile in cui addirittura superava Frei di quattro punti percentuali allo scenario di primo turno.

Frei si dice disponibile alla ricerca di un accordo per evitare che tale divisione possa favorire il candidato della destra o degli altri contendenti alla presidenza.. Ma nello stesso tempo critica il populismo del candidato e le sue proposte che rinnegano non solo la sua militanza di 17 anni nel partito socialista ma anche tutta la storia della Concertación.

Il 17 giugno 2009 inizia ufficialmente la sua campagna per le presidenziali e nel primo atto di campagna hanno partecipato i leader dei partiti della coalizione assieme agli ex Presidenti Ricardo Lagos e Patricio Aylwin. La manifestazione ha avuto molto successo e il giorno successivo è stato pubblicato il sondaggio del Centro de Estudios Publícos, il più prestigioso e attendibile del paese, che vede il consolidamento di Eduardo Frei nei confronti di Sebastián Piñera in uno scenario di ballottaggio (39% a 39% nel sondaggio e 39% a 41% nella simulazione del voto) e nello scenario di primo turno Frei supera largamente il dissidente Marco Enríquez-Ominami, circa il 17% in più, dopo che all'inizio del mese erano stati pubblicati da TNS-Tima Chile sondaggi poco positivi per Frei al primo turno dopo addirittura veniva superato dall'ex socialista per circa quattro punti. La distanza con il candidato della destra al primo turno si riduce al 7%.

Eduardo Frei sostiene che la propria candidatura e le sue proposte rappresentano il progressismo cileno e rivendica la continuità della politica economica e sociale intraprese dalla Presidente Michelle Bachelet che ha raggiunto livelli straordinari di popolarità nel mese di maggio 2009. Nel frattempo ha accettato le proposte dei deputati Guido Girardi (PPD) e Mariano Ruiz-Esquide sulla Nuova Concertación

Eduardo Frei ha organizzato la sua campagna elettorale in modo da coinvolgere i giovani sia quelli provenienti dalle organizzazioni giovanili dei partiti della coalizione ma anche provenienti dalla società civile come Sebastián Bowen, coordinatore della campagna elettorale del candidato.

Frei ha aperto un proprio sito web ossia OceanosAzules.cl in cui riporta tutte le notizie di campagna elettorale e le proposte di governo, e il sito che rappresenta la fondazione omonima che si occupa della formazione del programma di Eduardo Frei.

Il 15 giugno 2009 Frei assieme al candidato presidente della coalizione di sinistra Juntos Podemos Más Jorge Arrate assiste alla firma del patto parlamentare per le elezioni parlamentari del 2009 tra la Concertación-Juntos Podemos.

Frei ha stipulato assieme al candidato del Partito Comunista Jorge Arrate un patto elettorale per il ballottaggio per evitare che la destra vinca le elezioni.

Sconfitta
Alle elezioni del primo turno la coalizione di centrosinistra ha ottenuto per le votazioni della Camera il 44,3% e 57 seggi contro il 43,3% della Coalizione per il Cambio che ha conseguito la maggioranza relativa con 58 seggi su 120 seggi della Camera. Al Senato è in vantaggio elettoralmente il centrodestra con il 45,4% contro il 43,4% della Concertación alleata con il Partito Comunista ma in termini di seggi 9 a ciascuna coalizione.

Al primo turno Frei risulta secondo con il 29,62% contro il 44,03% di Piñera e il 20,14% del dissidente del centrosinistra Enríquez-Ominami che ha eroso la base elettorale di Frei. Al ballottaggio per la prima volta nella storia democratica del Cile la Concertación risulta sconfitta con il 48,39% dei voti conseguiti da Frei contro il 51,61% del candidato conservatore determinando la fine di un ciclo politico durato 20 anni.

Il 12 marzo 2013 annuncia che non si ricandiderà alle elezioni parlamentari del 2013, rinunciando il suo seggio al Senato come rappresentante della Regione de los Lagos.

The press conference with the cinematographer Lance Gewer and the producer Pawel Fudalkowski.
The makers of the film "Tsotsi", that is considered as one of the favorites at CAMERIMAGE festival, on their press conference were talking about the reason of adaptating to screen Athol Fugard's novel. The Polish producer Piotr Fudałkowski was interested in this book already 20 years ago. The idea was slowly growing to reach the realization. "I got interested in this story because of the touching, dramatic 'redemption' of the main character and his metamorphose. We meet him as one of many ruthless gangsters in the black suburbs of Johannesburg, the city-slums Soweto"-said the producer.
Lance Gewer, the cinematographer said that he accepted the offer to work on this film because he doesn't look for the action-films but for 'the movies touching deep matters' and the story taking place in the reality of the African getto intrigued him. It was also very personal to him because he was born in RSA and lives there, so the problems of this society are close to him. "My skin is white but I'm not sure of the colour of my soul"- said Gewer.
As to the cinematographer's techniques and methods used while shooting the film, Gewer said that he mainly purposed on giving birth to sympathy-empathy feelings of the audience to the main character, who finds a little baby-stranger and by coincidence gets a chance to save himself. "The less meant the more to me - this is how I wanted to reach my aim" - said Gewer. That is why he decided on the static camera shots, with no hand-camera work, as not to distract the viewers with the movement and to let them concentrate on the internal, emotional game in the "tsotsi's" mind. Another artistic method was to use nightlight and daylight shots to make the mood of the main character more plastic. Thanks to that, Gewer illustrates the character's self-portrait, showing his dark side as well as the more human side.
Illustrating the movie with the music of the African gettos - Kwaitto, was acclaimed by the audience. This kind of hip-hop music together with the touching scenes create the true picture of South African slums' reality.
Gewer mentioned the great contribution in making the film of Presley Chweneyagae, playing the main part. According to Gewer "he is the Marlon Brando of Africa".
The results of the filmmakers' work are great, what is being proofed by the festivals, for example in Toronto and in Edinburg, where Tsotsi was given the audience awards, and many other awards. It is also South African candidate to Academy Award.
Gewer ended with a complement: "In comparison to other festivals, this one is not only organized. People live on It".

Council accused of treating Bath residents with contempt over ring of steel
Hannah Downey claims chief exec Will Godfrey "suggested I was simply a time waster and I would be squandering £60,000 of public money by instigating a public inquiry"

A businesswoman claims Bath's top officer tried to pressure her into dropping her objection to the city's ring of steel.
Hannah Downey accused Bath and North East Somerset Council of treating residents with contempt after chief executive Will Godfrey allegedly told her an inquiry would waste time and £60,000 of public money.
And she attacked the Liberal Democrat leaders who she said were risking the city's security, pursuing their own political goals of ousting cars from the centre.

A public inquiry is set to be held in the spring after Ms Downey maintained her objection to the anti-terror traffic regulation order (ATTRO) for York Street because she needs to access her business.
She told the cabinet meeting on December 15: "I was given no guarantee that the concerns I have with the ATTRO will be addressed and that I would have reasonable access to our property once the scheme is fully implemented.
"I felt pressured by the council to withdraw my objection and was even called by the chief executive, who suggested I was simply a time waster and I would be squandering £60,000 of public money by instigating a public inquiry."
Mr Godfrey did not respond during the meeting but the webcast showed him shake his head at that comment.
Ms Downey added: "This was not the way a council official should behave in order to get what they want.
"I have a right to my opinion. I cannot stand by now and watch the ransack of the city by poor decision making."
She claimed the council's proposed ring of steel did not match what Avon and Somerset Police had requested and risked security, while "making the lives of residents, trades, deliveries and businesses a misery".
The council has not denied asking Ms Downey to withdraw her objection. It is not known how many other residents were persuaded to withdraw their objections to the ring of steel proposals.
Third generation Bathonian Ms Downey, who has had a property in York Street for 25 years, said: "The council needs to be transparent and honest. I feel in this instance they've treated the residents of Bath with contempt.
"If this is a covert way of getting cars out of the city then the council is potentially risking the security of the city as a whole in pursuit of its own political goals.
"This is unacceptable and needs to be exposed."
Councillor Manda Rigby, the cabinet member for transport, questioned her claim that business would suffer. She said the Abbey Quarter Business Association, representing 60 of 61 businesses in the area, supported the closure of York Street and wanted to distance themselves from any misleading comments that would suggest otherwise.

Mum-of-three Ms Downey said she needs to access her property between 10am and 6pm, and forcing coach passengers, tradespeople and deliveries to use Terrace Walk creates an "unacceptable and unsustainable" danger.
The ATTRO would restrict entry until 10pm.
Access is currently limited by barriers installed to allow for social distancing that will be removed on January 1, however York Street will close on January 6 to enable public realm works ahead of the opening of the World Heritage Centre.
A BANES Council spokesperson said: "The council's priority is to keep the public safe but to also balance accessibility for residents, business and blue badge holders. The mitigations we have put in place strike the right balance.
"The decision to proceed with the public security measures follows months of extensive consultation, talks with disability access groups and meetings with businesses and residents.
"However, the council will trigger a public inquiry for one street in the scheme after one member of the public upheld their objection to the traffic regulation order for anti-terrorism purposes in York Street, despite the council's work to mitigate concerns and overwhelming support from the Abbey Quarter Business Association.
"In response to the objector's question to the council on the cost of an inquiry, they were advised it would be in the region of £60,000.
"A public inquiry is held when an objection remains to the traffic regulation order and agreement cannot be found. It is anticipated the inquiry will be held in the spring."
Despite the public inquiry, measures are set to be installed as planned in Lower Borough Walls, Stall Street, Abbeygate Street, Abbey Green, Swallow Street (south), Bath Street, Beau Street, Hot Bath Street, Cheap Street, Westgate Street (including Parsonage Lane), Saw Close and Upper Borough Walls.
The council has now revealed how blue badge holders and others will be able to gain access when the barriers are closed.

The Hurricanes were the first NHL team to use a Fan Development team. Most of the other teams with "Ice Girls" or some kind of "Patrols" contacted the Hurricanes' promotions dept. for ideas on how to start a team.
That's something I didn't realize, MeanGene. Thanks for the info.
Without a doubt, the Ducks talked with the 'Canes' front office at the start of this decade about how to implement their own fan-development crew. What continues to surprise me is how much later the Kings chose to start theirs -- this is the first season, believe it or not, for Team Kopitar's ice patrol.

To be honest, I am old enough to be the father of most of these young women and have bunions older than them; the stuff with the t-shirt throws is just filler during a tv-time out. I go to games for hockey and not the fluff. But I am just a curmudgeon.
Mr. GSBG, my better half, is probably older than you, since he's less than two years away from the big five-oh. Like you, he watches sports to see the game itself ... but he definitely doesn't object to occasional shots of the USC Song Girls during Trojan football games.

I have a daughter who is a senior at NCSU and I tried my best to get her to try out for the Storm Squad. I probably wouldn't have mentioned it to her if they wore some of the skimpier stuff. But alas, she wasn't interested. I could have had a lifetime supply of t-shirts.
We can debate the varying degrees of skimpiness. I mean for a couple of those teams the old line can be switched to "I went to a hockey game and a stripping broke out."
But I do wonder why we don't at least get the Storm Squad on skates? It is an ice event after all.
Luther_Blissett
I don't think the players would like having figure skaters out there tearin' up the ice... If they put them out there during the intermission, when would the six-year-olds have their games? Come on, those kids are entertaining.
That's a worthwhile point, remkin, one that seems reasonable. Heck, every one of the Ducks' Power Players (this year's squad is shown below) laces up her skates at some point during each game to shovel snow.
ncsabresfan01
It's funny that if you go to NHL Ice Girls, all the pictures are of the girls ON THE ICE, except for the Storm Squad. Their pictures are of the girls doing the "railing sit". I also noticed that the Stars, Islanders and Duck's girls are wearing hockey skates. The Flyers and Penguins girls are dressed similar to the Storm Squad. Once again, it wouldn't take much to update the Storm Squad, they just need the will.
mluther9
damn, I hope the ducks cheerleaders travel with the team, they make the storm squad look like red headed step children
No, NYM, they don't. (Actually, when Mr. GSBG and I came to Raleigh to see two 'Canes games in early '06, we commented to each other how much more attractive the Storm Squad was, compared to the Ducks' crew.) And -- just to step ever so slightly off topic -- the USC song girls, pictured below, is the only SoCal cheer group that deserves its kudos:
From the Rose Bowl ...
... and during a mid-summer photo shoot (not all of the members are in the photo):
Yes, that group is exraordinarily well put together. *Bites knuckle*
And have been for 40 years. Just like the football team, the Song Girls are a long-standing source of tradition and pride at USC.
Back to the topic at hand: When Mr. G and I saw our two 'Canes games in '06, we had no problem at all getting amped up by the Storm Squad members, who did a terrific job bringing the audience's enthusiasm to some pretty great heights. (He also took note of the tiny brunette Squad member stationed near our section, saying she looked "unbelievable.")
And have been for 40 years.
Those girls definitely don't look old enough to have been together for 40 years. They are well put together though.
Personally, I find the Storm Squad much easier to look at than many of those other girls.

Okay, upon reviewing all the links... the Stars win.
Bodyslam
As the mom of a former Storm Squad member, I can only remember how excited she was before, during and after the games. Her favorite part was interacting with fans. Men, women AND children. She still misses it to this day. She was on the squad for several years and actually watched children grow up before her eyes. There is a special bond between cheerleaders and the fans. Some she'll remember for the rest of her life. Being a part of winning the Stanley Cup w/ the fans is something she'll be able to tell her babies someday. She misses you guys but will be back on 11-23 I think. Give the new girls a chance. Its still very early in the season . GO Canes !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Being a part of winning the Stanley Cup w/ the fans is something she'll be able to tell her babies someday.
Did she get a ring? That is a Stanley Cup ring?
remkin: The members of this year's Song Girl squad haven't been around for four decades; the institution of USC's songleading team, however, is. Here's the 1968-69 group, with that year's cheerleaders ...
... from 1968-69 ...
... and from 1985-86:
This link'll provide photos of Song Girl squads from 1996-97 to 2007-08: http://sait.usc.edu/recsports/spirit/song/...prevsquads.html
Bodyslam: Say hi to Holly for us -- we remember the wonderful rendition of the national anthem she sang on March 3, 2006, our second game at RBC. I also understand how cheerleaders and similar groups relate to the crowd, since I was a member of my high school's dance/drill team during my junior year. The connection between the fans and the dance-team members is electric, and I remember dancing for the football crowds like it was yesterday, even though i31 years have passed.
CA: I've said it before, and I'll say it again: Mr. G and me, like you, appreciated the Storm Squad's looks when we saw the crew in person two years ago. If this year's group is anywhere as attractive, they've got to be stunners.
The Storm Squad members do not get a Stanley Cup ring but we did buy our daughter the replica. GSBG, I'll pass on your message to Holly and thank you for the nice words
turniphead
So are the storm squad the only cheerleaders in the nhl (lowers my head in shame that there are cheerleaders in hockey) that do not skate?

In this episode, I am excited to have Jennifer Day on to talk about breaking down the stigma that comes with depression and how lawyers are susceptible.
Jennifer graduated from law school in 2004. She served as a judicial law clerk in Anchorage, Alaska, then became a prosecutor in 2005 and has never looked back. She has prosecuted a variety of cases, and has also presented on the topic of depression amongst prosecutors across the state of California for the past few years. Her spare time is spent with her family, or you can find her out on a photography adventure.
Managing clinical depression with work life, and how much to share at work about being clinically depressed.
How depression manifests itself to her, and how she recognizes it.
The stigma of discussing depression amongst prosecutors.
The difference between compassion fatigue and clinical depression.
How it was harder to come out as depressed than it was to come out as gay.

Combining Pre- and Post-Nucleation Trajectories for the Synthesis of High FAU-Content Faujasite Nanocrystals from Organic-Free Sols
Maryam Khaleel, Wenqian Xu, David A. Lesch, Michael Tsapatsis
Chemical Engineering and Materials Science
The effects of synthesis conditions on the FAU/EMT content and the size of nanocrystals, formed from inorganic aluminosilicate sols, were investigated. High-resolution transmission electron microscopy imaging and comparison of experimental X-ray diffraction patterns with simulations demonstrated that all materials made starting from synthesis mixtures in the composition range (1.8-33) SiO2:1 Al2O3:(2.7-33) Na2O:(41-1000) H2O contain FAU/EMT intergrowths. Compositions with low water content increase the FAU fraction up to 0.8 but the crystal size exceeds 100 nm. Extension of the higher FAU purity to nanocrystals was achieved only by first mixing the sol at high water content compositions that favor nanocrystal formation and then - after a certain time - lowering by freeze-drying the water to levels favoring the formation of FAU. Cryogenic transmission electron microscopy and small-angle X-ray scattering from representative optically clear and colloidally stable precursor sols (aged and crystallized at ambient temperature) reveal the formation of amorphous aggregates before the detection of crystals, in agreement with earlier findings and an existing model for the aggregative growth of the zeolite MFI. The presence of these amorphous aggregates coincides with the aforementioned state of sol that preserves the original trajectory toward nanocrystals after the pronounced reduction of water content by freeze-drying. If water reduction by freeze-drying is applied earlier (before the detection of amorphous aggregates), the sol follows the low water content trajectory toward larger crystals. Despite this memory effect, the sol at this stage is still agnostic toward FAU or EMT formation, the relative content of which is dominantly determined by the final water content. These findings demonstrate that it is possible to combine the effects of pre- and post-nucleation sol composition to steer crystal size and crystal structure, respectively. They confirm precursor nanoparticle evolution, while they emphasize the importance of solution phase composition at both pre- and post-nucleation stages of aggregative crystal growth.

Australia's peak medical group has warned the country's private health system is on a "precipice" as young Australians abandon costly insurance. Australian Medical Association president Dr Tony Bartone says the industry could hit a tipping point within 12 months. He says an increasing number of young Australians are shunning private health insurance, while a higher proportion of older patients drive up premiums as they become more expensive to insure. With tens of thousands of people leaving the private health system, more burden is being placed on Australia's already overstretched public health system. "Everyone's got to sit down and find a solution to the problem," Dr Bartone told AAP. "It's the public health system that's also riding on this." Dr Bartone said bigger tax rebates were needed to attract young Australians to private funds while the industry needed to improve the clarity around policies and offer more for less. The AMA has released its annual scorecard on private health insurance, revealing the top performing funds when it came to coverage in each state and territory, with the best policy dependent on where people lived. Depending on the state or territory, open membership insurers - accessible for any person - only covered around 25 per cent of hospital-related charges like beds and nurse care. In some states or territories, open membership insurers only covered around 26 per cent of medical services with no gap (out-of-pocket) costs. The scorecard also lists the highest and lowest benefits paid for medical services, with consumers potentially able to be covered by an additional $350 for a typical knee replacement depending on their insurer. But these costs also relied on where policyholders lived, with Bupa customers in Victoria covered for nearly $350 more for a hip replacement than customers in NSW, ACT, WA, Queensland and the Top End. The scorecard also pointed out how the number of policies excluding particular conditions now outnumber the number of non-exclusionary policies. The number one complaint people had with their private health insurance policies was about benefits, in terms of non-payment or delayed payment, as well as out of pocket costs. The AMA said customers should always get everything in writing, with incorrect or unhelpful advice provided verbally often leading to people misunderstanding what they were covered for. The federal government introduced new reforms that came into effect in April requiring insurers to tier their policies from Basic, Bronze, Silver to Gold. But Dr Bartone said the government's review did not address affordability or value for money. There had also been a steady increase in premiums averaging three-to-five per cent per year as wages growth remained stuck at around two per cent. Health Minister Greg Hunt said on Thursday he was looking at more "hospital in the home" options to be covered by insurance, like mental health or orthopaedic recovery. Mr Hunt told Sky News existing law barred this sort of care being covered by private insurance which could lead to better outcomes while reducing strains on the health system. Labor health spokesman Chris Bowen said the private health insurance sector should be examined by the Productivity Commission. "Clearly the band-aid approach that they're taking to private health insurance is not working," Mr Bowen said.

Doctors seek fix for private health woes
Finbar O'Mallon
An increasing number of young Australians are abandoning private health insurance.
Australia's peak medical group has warned the country's private health system is on a "precipice" as young Australians abandon costly insurance.
Australian Medical Association president Dr Tony Bartone says the industry could hit a tipping point within 12 months.
He says an increasing number of young Australians are shunning private health insurance, while a higher proportion of older patients drive up premiums as they become more expensive to insure.
With tens of thousands of people leaving the private health system, more burden is being placed on Australia's already overstretched public health system.
"Everyone's got to sit down and find a solution to the problem," Dr Bartone told AAP.
"It's the public health system that's also riding on this."
Dr Bartone said bigger tax rebates were needed to attract young Australians to private funds while the industry needed to improve the clarity around policies and offer more for less.
The AMA has released its annual scorecard on private health insurance, revealing the top performing funds when it came to coverage in each state and territory, with the best policy dependent on where people lived.
Depending on the state or territory, open membership insurers - accessible for any person - only covered around 25 per cent of hospital-related charges like beds and nurse care.
In some states or territories, open membership insurers only covered around 26 per cent of medical services with no gap (out-of-pocket) costs.
The scorecard also lists the highest and lowest benefits paid for medical services, with consumers potentially able to be covered by an additional $350 for a typical knee replacement depending on their insurer.
But these costs also relied on where policyholders lived, with Bupa customers in Victoria covered for nearly $350 more for a hip replacement than customers in NSW, ACT, WA, Queensland and the Top End.
The scorecard also pointed out how the number of policies excluding particular conditions now outnumber the number of non-exclusionary policies.
The number one complaint people had with their private health insurance policies was about benefits, in terms of non-payment or delayed payment, as well as out of pocket costs.
The AMA said customers should always get everything in writing, with incorrect or unhelpful advice provided verbally often leading to people misunderstanding what they were covered for.
The federal government introduced new reforms that came into effect in April requiring insurers to tier their policies from Basic, Bronze, Silver to Gold.
But Dr Bartone said the government's review did not address affordability or value for money.
There had also been a steady increase in premiums averaging three-to-five per cent per year as wages growth remained stuck at around two per cent.
Health Minister Greg Hunt said on Thursday he was looking at more "hospital in the home" options to be covered by insurance, like mental health or orthopaedic recovery.
Mr Hunt told Sky News existing law barred this sort of care being covered by private insurance which could lead to better outcomes while reducing strains on the health system.
Labor health spokesman Chris Bowen said the private health insurance sector should be examined by the Productivity Commission.
"Clearly the band-aid approach that they're taking to private health insurance is not working," Mr Bowen said.
The chief executive of the body representing private health insurers, Private Healthcare Australia, called the AMA's report "alarmist".
But Dr Rachel David told ABC there was a "very real financial barrier" for young people trying to get private cover.

0.1 What does a Bethard Texas Public Adjuster?
What does a Bethard Texas Public Adjuster?
A Bethard public adjuster is required to be licensed by the Texas Department of Insurance. The job of the public adjuster is to conduct a thorough inspection of the damages and to put together an estimate that fully encompasses the scope and costs of all repair. Having someone who works exclusively for you also means that you have a licensed professional to manage and negotiate the claim start to finish, relieving you of much time and stress in a process that you have little or no experience with.
A licensed public adjuster knows there is much more to hail damage than just your roof — windows, gutters, vents, siding, etc. A public adjuster is trained in policy coverage and knows the tricks of the trade. They most likely have previous experience working for an insurance company and know the business from the inside out. Public adjusters can help policyholders in case of property insurance, fire, hurricane, flood, tornadoes and other several unfortunate events that cause damages and losses to your business and home. We help with claims in Bethard and zip code 75042 as well as nearby cities such as Audelia TX, White Rock TX, Zacha Junction TX, Buckingham TX, Garland TX, Shiloh TX, Richardson TX, Bouchard TX, Gifford TX, Centerville TX, Reinhardt TX, Naaman TX, Rawlins TX, Rose Hill TX, Meaders TX, University Park TX, Rowlett TX, Sachse TX, Highland Park TX, Renner TX.


If you are planning a trip and your student will be absent from school, submit a Pre-Arranged Absence Form to the office no later than 3 days before the planned absence to receive work from the teacher and for the absence to be considered excused (upon Principal approval).
When bringing in a student to school after classes have started, please come into the office with your student to sign him/her in.
When picking up a student early: Please give yourself a few extra minutes for us to call your student out of class and for him/her to gather their backpacks, etc. We would like to leave them in class as long as possible and not call them out of class before your arrival in the office.
Jefferson County Public Schools desires to have students absent no more than 10 days a year.

We have been extensively researching into what runners consider important, and sustainability is fast becoming the most important area. Click HERE to see what RunThrough is doing for sustainability.
T-Shirts at events have been a hot topic mainly around them not being a high enough quality to wear on a regular basis. So we have decided to tackle this by offering a T-Shirt (Women – CLICK HERE | Men – CLICK HERE) with a retail value of £22 for £12 with the addition of the event logo printed on the chest. These are to be collected at the Kit Stall on the day.
We can do this with our partner RT Kit as part of a strategic decision to not only raise awareness about the quality of the product but also to counteract the increasing costs incurred in event production in a post-COVID world.
Here at RunThrough we are always looking for like-minded people to join our community. We always value an extra pair of hands and would love for you to come along and help us!
