The premiere took place on 26 January 2015. The Stanislavsky Electrotheatre opened on 26 January 2015 with the premiere of a production of 'The Bacchae' by Euripides, staged by Greek director Theodoros Terzopoulos and translated by Innokenty Annensky. Euripides's tragedy 'The Bacchae' is the third part of his last tetralogy. It was written in 406 BC just before his death and has remained a masterpiece of world literature and theatre ever since. It is the story of the god Dionysus who turns earthly women into bacchantes, wild creatures he uses to exact revenge. It is interwoven with motifs, which together and separately are found in dramatic art, right to the present: the clash of civilization and chaos, of reason and madness, of nature and culture.
Russian readers and audiences are in a privileged position thanks to this translation by Innokenty Annensky: it is not only the work of a great poet, but also of a thinker who considers Euripides to be perhaps the most important author of the past, and someone with whom he feels in constant dialogue.In his translation of 'The Bacchae', Annensky was not looking for the exact verbal equivalent in Russian. He translated more freely, recreating in a different lexical setting a symbiosis of poetry, music and philosophy. It was this particular translation that Theodoros Terzopoulos chose to use for his production at The Stanislavsky Electrotheatre.

The Gooms (Miguel Vasconcellos)
Music Pick (Live Streaming): The Gooms
Brett Callwood April 30, 2020
Los Angeles indie band The Gooms release their new album Laugh on July 24, and they've just dropped a video for the song "I'm Judy Garland" (see below).
"On-screen, Judy Garland is known as a source of happiness and hope, while her off-screen life is painted more as a tragic picture," the band said in a statement. "This song is not about Judy Garland, but rather the feeling of pushing through your own misadvenutres while still trying to be that light for someone else."
The song, and indeed the album, showcase The Gooms' gift for wrapping sweet, infectious melodies in surfy, garage-rock fuzz. They'll be performing live on Friday, so see for yourself.
Tune in at 2 p.m. PT on Friday, May 1 via Instagram.

In late February, the CEO-Vision team was pleased to announce the availability of DMS GoFAST Community version on the Amazon Marketplace!
DMS GoFAST Community version is completely free and just AWS hosting costs will be charged (few cents per hour).
Under the auspices of CIGREF (Non-profit organization including the CIOs of the largest French organizations), AIFE (French Ministry of Finance) and CEO-Vision have given feedback to Chief Information Officers of the largest French companies, ministries and public organizations.
The feedback was about the use of the GoFAST collaborative DMS platform as the part of CHORUS documentation management and associated processes. CHORUS is the ERP of the French state processing hundreds of billions euros annually.

The Committee for Economic Development (CED) continues to show us its Hall of Fame-worthy stripes. The influential non-partisan research and policy organization has launched a new initiative to achieve 30% female membership on Fortune 500 boards by 2018. The group first came to our attention with its perfectly balanced speaker line-up at its Spring Policy Conference. When we interviewed CED's President and CEO, Steve Odland, he told us about CED's women on corporate boards initiative which, at the time, comprised of a statement of support for including more women on boards and a report emphasizing the increased competitiveness of companies with women board members.
Now, the group is stepping up to make it happen. CED plans to exercise its influence through peer-to-peer conversations with board nominating committee members and chairs — most of whom are male — that will focus on increasing the number of women serving on boards. CED's 200+ trustees, 56 of whom are women, occupy 66 seats on Fortune 500 boards. In its new statement "Every Other One: More Women on Corporate Boards", CED says it has set a goal of meeting with 25 representatives of nominating committees per year for the next three years. After the first year, CED intends to publish a paper, without attribution, listing nominating committee concerns.
The statement is being released at CED's Fall Policy conference where the organization continues to walk the talk with regard to the inclusion of women. The speaker line-up is nearly 40% female.
For a consistent commitment to including women in the public dialog and its efforts to bring others along with them, CED is once again in the GenderAvenger Spotlight.

Jan Očko of Vlašim (; Jan VIII as the Bishop of Olomouc) (? – died 1380), from the family of the House of Vlašim, was the second Archbishop of Prague (1364–1378). He was the uncle to his successor Jan of Jenštejn.

Biography

Early life
It is not known when he was born. His father was Jan of Kamenice, the secretary of the King John of Bohemia. His brothers were Michael of Vlašim, Burgrave of Svojanov, and Pavel of Vlašim and Jenštejn, Grand Chamberlain.

Bishop
As of 1351, Jan Očko was the Bishop of Olomouc. His coat of arms was that of bishop and silver two Vulture heads gules (common with of Vlašim and Jenštejn).

At that time, he became an advisor to Charles IV. He later accompanied Charles IV on his way to Italy in 1355. On 12 July 1364, he became the Archbishop of Prague, succeeding the dead Arnošt of Pardubice.

In 1368, he was regent of the Kingdom of Bohemia.

He consecrated the Church of Saint Thomas in Brno (13 March 1356) and the Emmaus monastery in Prague on 29 March 1372.

In 1366 he ordered the incarceration of Jan Milíč z Kroměříže for his preachings against Charles IV, whom he called the "Antichrist". Jan Milíč was later freed by Charles and remained in his favour.

Cardinal
On 18 September 1378, by nomination of Pope Urban VI, he became the first Bohemian named a Cardinal. On 30 November 1379, he abandoned the post of Archbishop.  According to Konrad Eubel, Joannes de Jenzenstein was appointed to succeed him on 19 March 1379.

He was the bailor of the castle Kašperk.

Death
He died on 14 January 1380.

Wombat Living
R82/Convaid have announced the North American launch of Wombat Living by R82, designed as a best-in-class, daily tilt-in-space activity chair that improves upon the original. Created for use at school and at home, Wombat Living comes in three sizes and two fresh new colors, and it's capable of multiple configurations. The seating unit tilts from -20° to 15° for relaxed and active postures with plenty of adjustment for growth. An angle-adjustable push brace can be positioned out of the way when not needed. Accessories include a power actuator for height adjustment, lateral supports and head supports.
Inspired by Drive's latest addition to its early-intervention, out-of-the-wheelchair positioning line comes in colors called Seahorse Green, Pool Blue and Mermaid Pink. Nessie is designed especially for children who are working on floor positioning at home or in clinic. It offers support as kids are crawling, lying down (supine, prone or side), straddling or sitting in various positions; its arms can be widened or narrowed to achieve a number of different poses. Nessie comes in three sizes, and it's constructed of open-cell memory foam that's sealed inside a waterproof plastic liner. That means the cover and the liner can be easily spot cleaned or washed. Nessie's fun colors and playful shape are designed to appeal to children as well as their families.
With 180° recline, face-to-face viewing direction, a central release lever for tilt in space, and a seat release for easy folding, the new EaSyS Advantage is designed to provide maximum comfort for both child and caregiver. A new brake assembly optimizes safe handling, and the soft suspension absorbs vibrations for an extra-smooth ride. An extra-thick cushion enhances comfort, and the seat/ back are fully adjustable without requiring tools.
Dynamic S3 & DS4
Designed for clients who do not develop adequate balance, weight shift or postural control to stand or walk unaided, Kaye's dynamic multi-positional standers allow 360° of movement within the base support while the client is standing. The excursion of movement of the stander is adjusted via a spring-loaded crank, and range of movement can be increased as clients develop confidence. Resistance to movement can also be adjusted so clients can work on postural control. The standers enable clients to experience natural weight shifts that occur when reaching or performing self-care activities. The tray comes standard.
Adaptive Imports
Jenx Monkey Prone Stander
An early-intervention favorite, the Jenx Monkey prone stander allows for a smooth progression from a comfortable prone-on-elbows position into an upright standing position, all in one session. The Monkey — which recently underwent an aesthetics upgrade — can accommodate young children from 9 months to 4 years old, and is designed for little ones with good head control who will benefit from standing. Tool-free adjustments make it easy for caregivers to adjust positioning supports as the child grows, and the Monkey's compact footprint fits right into school or home.
Change the seat position from forward facing to facing the caregiver — while the child is seated! The new Stingray's 180° swiveling seat makes that possible, and that's only the start of the positioning features. Stingray also offers up to 45° of tilt and 170° of recline to support a range of postural needs. The chair folds compactly and features separate base and seating modules. Stingray is available in seven color choices and in two sizes, with a range of accessories to customize each chair.
Rolling Buddies
Wheelchair Accents
Rolling Buddies' wheelchair accents enable kids to personalize and show off their rides. The decorations, available in dozens of designs, are made of scratch- and UV-resistant Lexan with smooth edges for safety. They're attached via corrosion-resistant nylon 6/6 horseshoe hardware and Velcro fasteners. Buy the accents individually or by the pair in sizes small (4.5x5"), medium (8x8.5") or large (16.5x16.25"). Rolling Buddies can add your company logo to the accents to help you expand your brand recognition when you offer the decorations as giveaway or retail items.
Rifton Equipment
Hygiene & Toileting System (HTS)
Proper positioning can be crucial to successful toileting, for child and parents, and Rifton's HTS strives to provide that optimal positioning. In addition, the open seat facilitates proper cleaning, and an adjustable headrest makes showering easier. The entire system is designed to be easy to keep clean, and it can be used on, over or off a standard or elongated toilet. Adjusts as the child grows.
JUNIOR Cushions & Back Supports
Kids are not just miniature adults, which is why VARILITE used anthropometric data to create its JUNIOR line of seat cushions and back supports for active users. Seat cushions are available in a 10x10" size using Air-Foam Floatation. Back supports come in Mid or Deep configurations in a 10" size that fits chairs measuring 9" to 11". Backs use Air-Foam Floatation with pediatric-specific VariLock hardware.
ThevoSleepingStar A
The original ThevoSleepingStar support surface has wing suspensions to provide tiny movement impulses that calm children as they are in bed. The "active" A model additionally provides sensory support by providing the movement for children who cannot supply movement themselves. Choose Wave, Rotation, Inclined Plane or Static from the movement "menu" to reduce pressure, pain and spasms and improve quality of sleep. The quiet system ensures operation without disturbing the child's rest.


GREEN BAY, Wis. (670 The Score) -- Off to the corner of a crushed locker room at Lambeau Field, star pass rusher Khalil Mack threw a Bears pullover on and stood to discuss a devastating loss.
It was only a week ago that Mack held his navy blue jersey before cameras at Halas Hall as newly minted as the face of this Bears defense. Now, he had to answer on behalf of his team after its gut-wrenching 24-23 loss to the Packers on Sunday night.
"You want to win," Mack said. "Cool game, but you got to finish. Something we can definitely learn from."
The Bears acquired Mack in a blockbuster deal with the Raiders on Sept. 2 that included two first-round picks being sent back to Oakland. He was welcomed to Chicago with great fanfare and billed as the star this team needed.
Mack's debut with the Bears defense inspired confidence for what could come during the six-year window in which he will earn up to $141 million. At Lambeau Field and playing before a national audience, Mack recorded a strip-sack of backup quarterback DeShone Kizer and recovered the ball himself to halt a promising Packers drive in the second quarter. Later in the quarter, he returned an interception 27 yards for a touchdown.
The last player to record a sack, a forced fumble, a fumble recovery, an interception and a touchdown in one game was none other than Mack in 2016.
"He was doing well," coach Matt Nagy said. "He was feeling well, making plays and making big-time plays."
Like the rest of the Bears' pass rush, Mack wasn't much of a factor in the second half, when Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers -- playing on an injured left knee -- kept finding his targets and getting the football out quickly.
The Bears came into this game planning to have Mack limit his workload after missing the entire preseason in a holdout with the Raiders. They spent the week determining his conditioning level and formulating a plan from there.
But the careful intentions of defensive coordinator Vic Fangio were thrown out when Mack came out looking dominant. On his first play, Mack lined up at edge rusher and pushed through Packers right tackle Bryan Bulaga, which forced Rodgers to throw the ball away. He was held later in the drive on a play that forced the Packers to punt.
When Rodgers was forced out of the game with the knee injury, Mack really made his presence felt. He powered his way to Kizer and ripped the football out of his hands with the Packers at the Bears' 9-yard line. Then came the pick-six late in the second quarter, with him evading tacklers and finding the end zone.
But despite the instant impact of Mack, the Bears squandered a 20-0 lead with Rodgers -- also the recipient of a record contract -- pushing the Packers to an epic comeback. The debut of Mack was spoiled with a crushing loss.
"I prepared all offseason for the first game of the season," Mack said. "I wanted to come back and make an impact. But you want to win these games. That's the one thing on my mind. I hate losing."

3 women-led Boston venture capital firms to know
by Cailin Crowe
photo via shutterstock
It's no secret that there's a shortage of women in the venture capital industry, and despite the well-documented shortage, recent figures are still less than stellar.
Here's a quick recap. About 9 percent of the country's venture capitalists are women. Nearly 75 percent of VC firms have only men in partner positions. And of the firms with a woman partner, most have only one woman in that seat.
The lack of women with decision-making power at VC firms has created an uphill battle for women founders. The proof is in the pudding: A mere 15 percent of capital is given to women-founded companies. And the rate of women establishing their own companies has flatlined, not grown.
These figures can be pretty discouraging — we get it. But there's good news too. Boston is home to a handful of women-led VC firms that are leveling the playing field in their respective industries. Here are three women-led venture capital firms to know:
Katie Rae
CEO and Managing Partner
The Engine is a women-led VC fund and incubator with a focus on "tough tech." Katie Rae is CEO and managing partner of The Engine. She touts a career history that includes head of product at Microsoft Labs and director of TechStars Boston. All in all, she's advised and invested in more than 100 startups that have raised over $400 million.
Rae's leadership is of course not the only notable aspect about the company. The Engine works with complex, planet-friendly tech. Their "tough tech solutions" — like robotics or material sciences — are typically used to solve our planet's biggest problems like water, energy and food supplies.
What's one misconception about women VCs that Rae wants to clear up? "That there's no women VCs," she said in an interview with Built In Boston. "There are many women VCs, especially in the deep science space. Putting a spotlight on the incredible work they are doing will be instrumental."

XFactor Ventures
Anna Palmer
XFactor Ventures has an important requirement for potential companies: They must have at least one woman founder. The women-led company has built 10 companies and raised more than $150 million in venture funds to date. The company's nine co-founders include eight women. Boston-based Wondermile CEO Anna Palmer is among those founders at the helm.
XFactor Venture's portfolio includes startups like The Beans, a company that automates financial planning for the middle class, and Tinted, an online community and cosmetics company for mid-toned women in beauty.

Maia Heymann and Nilanjana Bhowmik
co-founders and general partners
Converge is another VC firm chipping away at the lack of representation within the VC industry. The firm is co-founded by Nilanjana Bhowmik and Maia Heymann who are both general partners. The firm's business-to-business tech investments include companies leveraging artificial intelligence, like marketing competitive insights company Crayon and predictive analytics platform RapidMiner.
Bhowmik has 23 years of experience as a venture capitalist under her belt. Nilanjana was previously a general partner at Longworth Venture Partners where she headed their enterprise tech investments. Heyman also has over two decades of experience as a venture capitalist and has been involved in over 50 mergers and acquisitions and 17 IPOs to boot.

Gandules Nights at the CCCB: Nights of Films and Sins
July 14th, 2016 Elisenda Pallares 1 Comment
This year's cinema al fresco season is based on true confessions: I have sinned. Gandules'16 Gas Natural Fenosa is dedicated to the seven deadly sins: lust, sloth, gluttony, anger, envy, greed and pride; and two extra ones for free: sadness and extreme fantasy, courtesy of Desirée de Fez, the programmer of this edition.
"For Gandules'16 I have programmed nine films thinking about what I would like to see as a viewer at an al fresco film cycle accompanied by friends and in a relaxed atmosphere", explains Desirée de Fez. The film critic has made a varied selection with titles such as Amenaza en la sombra by Nicolas Roeg (Don't Look Now, 1973) and The Room (2003) by Tommy Wiseau, considered "one of the worst films in history" by many film critics.
The deadly sins are considered the origin of all the mistakes that humans may ever want to commit. According to Saint Thomas (II-II:153:4), "a capital vice is that which has an exceedingly desirable end, so that in his desire for it a man goes on to the commission of many sins all of which are said to originate in that vice as their chief source." The list of capital sins that must be avoided according to Christian morals has varied over time. Originally there were eight, including sadness. It was in the 6th century that Pope Gregory the Great established the number of sins as seven, as he considered sadness as a form of sloth.
Nine sins, nine films
Desirée de Fez has aimed to claw back sadness and has also included extreme fantasy in the programme. "Nowadays we all sin. The seven sins that we have known all our lives are no longer sufficient," she affirms. Gandules'16 offers the viewer nine films that are each connected with a sin, sometimes in a subtle way. And no, Seven (1995) is not to be found among the films chosen.
The season begins on 9 August with Laberinto de pasiones (1982), one of the first films by Pedro Almodóvar, an invitation to lust that, for de Fez, "sketches a part of the social history of the 1980s". Sloth is represented by Movida del 76 (Dazed and Confused, 1993) by Richard Linklater, and gluttony by Joven y alocada (2012), by Chilean Marialy Rivas, a film that deals with sexual discovery. De Fez has chosen Babadook (2014), by Jennifer Kent, to represent anger and to give a second chance to this horror film which has not previously enjoyed "the repercussions that it deserves".
We can enjoy less well-known productions such as El rapto de Bunny Lake (Bunny Lake Is Missing), by Otto Preminger, for the sin of envy; and El gran rugido (Roar, 1981), by Noel Marshall, for greed. "In this film, a young Melanie Griffith was attacked by a lion and had to undergo reconstructive surgery", de Fez notes.
For its final week, Gandules proposes the inclement melodrama The Room (2003), by Tommy Wiseau, representing pride. Plus the subline Amenaza en la sombra (Don't Look Now, 1973), by Nicolas Roeg, with an ode to sadness. And Valerie y su semana de las maravillas (Valerie and Her Week of Wonders, 1970), by Jaromil Jires, as the culminating film representing extreme fantasy.
Desirée de Fez is of the opinion that it is possible to commit sins in a gracious way and she invites us to discover these tales and their meanings, simply choosing a little escapism on these summer nights. Each screening will be preceded by a video where musicians such as Joe Crepúsculo, film critics such as Manu Yánez or director Juan Antonio Bayona confess to us those aspects of the film that have seduced them most.
From 9 to 25 August, every Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday, you are invited to cool off at 22.00 in the Pati de les Dones. Admission is free of charge and capacity is limited. Until Gandules'16 arrives, you can also succumb to desire with our list of sinful songs on Spotify, where you can add your own proposals. The songs proposed by you will be played as the soundtrack to the al fresco cinema sessions before each screening.

Llull the contemporary
June 30th, 2016 Eva Rexach No Comments
If Ramon Llull were alive today he would be at the top of the best sellers' list. He would be one of the stars at Barcelona's Comic Fair where he would have been invited as a pioneer in the genre. He would be taking part in discussions about multiculturalism alongside Arabic and Jewish thinkers. He would be giving poetry readings and a travel agency would have been named after him. If Ramon Llull were still alive he would remark, with pride, that 700 years after his death, his work is not only valid but has taken on truly global proportions thanks precisely to the web, a technology he can be considered the forerunner of.
Breviculum's animation, Ramon Llull life's illustrated work. Karlsruhe, Badische Landesbibliothek, Cod. St. Peter perg. 92
Ramon Llull is a fascinating character but he is still surrounded by an aura of incomprehensibility and unfathomability. We have a somewhat biased image of Llull, of a man trapped in the dark and terrible Middle Ages, when, in fact, the reality was quite different: Llull lived in an age that saw the building of the first cathedrals which sought out light and colour, and he travelled around some of the foremost cultural hubs in Europe and the Mediterranean.
One thing is true however: the fact that we are devoting an exhibition to Llull today, seven centuries after his death, at a centre for contemporary culture, is because his thinking remains relevant today. Because, beyond his obsession with God, what he endeavoured to explain throughout his life (a new way of thinking) is still valid across many disciplines. That's why, in order to gain a greater insight into Ramon Llull and his thinking, we have chosen a number of ideas to undo this image.
Ramon Llull lived a courtly and elitist life until the age of 30
Ramon Llull was from a well-to-do family and, as such, he lived a comfortable life and had connections with the court of King Jaume II of Mallorca. He married Blanca Picany when he was about 25 and they had two children, Domènec and Magdalena. It would appear that Blanca wasn´t the only woman in his life as, at the time, Ramon Llull was writing troubadour poetry and some people say that he lived quite a rakish life. All this changed when Ramon was 30 years old and, while he was writing one of these poems, Christ appeared to him on the cross. The vision, which reoccurred up to four times, changed his life.
Ramon Llull wrote the same book throughout his life
From this moment on, Ramon Llull lived the life of an enlightened person. He left his wife and children and withdrew to live as a hermit for four months at Puig de Randa (Mallorca), where he received the divine appointment to write "the most beautiful book in the world". And he devoted himself to this task for the rest of his life. In fact he wrote more than 250 books that are just variations on the same book. The word of God is the book.
Ramon Llull wrote true bestsellers
The Book of Contemplation is a thousand words long and four times longer than Tirant lo Blanc. Llull is the medieval author of the largest surviving number of medieval manuscripts, many of them written during his lifetime; there are more copies of his works than by Thomas Aquinas, and Giordano Bruno wrote up to six treatises inspired by Lullian thought. The Ars Brevis, a summary of his philosophy, was copied more times than Boccaccio's Decameron.
Ramon Llull is the main character in the first comic of all time
The Breviculum is an extraordinary work: a true medieval comic that tells the story of Ramon Llull's life in 12 miniatures. It was made around 1321 by Tomàs Le Myésier, a follower of Llull's who was associated with the French court, and includes the characteristic balloons with the words of the people depicted inside. It is kept at the Badische Landesbibliothek in Karlsruhe, and you can see an animated version at the exhibition.
Ramon Llull was a tireless traveller
Our central figure was also a travel pioneer and undertook journeys that would have had a worldwide impact today. In the 13th century the world was very small, and Ramon Llull travelled its length and breadth: from the time of his first trip to Montpellier to his last voyage to Tunis, the word of God guided Llull from Santiago de Compostela to the Vienna of the Dauphinate, from Rome to Paris, from Pisa to Lyon, Genoa, Barcelona, Bougie and Jerusalem… To Ramon Llull there were no borders to hinder the dissemination of his message.
Ramon Llull has a special connection with the number three
Ramon Llull lived in a world where three religions converged: the Christian, Jewish and Muslim. He wrote in three languages: Catalan, Latin and Arabic (although no manuscripts survive in the latter). He used three symbols: the tree, the ladder and geometric figures. He asked for his works to be kept in three places: Paris, Genoa and Mallorca. He wrote a book that had three sages as its central figures, The Book of the Gentile and the Three Sages. It defines the three virtues of the soul: memory, understanding and will. In medieval culture, three is a perfect number that symbolises continuous movement and is also the symbol of the Trinity. To Llull, God was pure movement and the reason why things combined. Three is God.
Ramon Llull worked in every literary genre
Spending one's entire life writing the "best book in the world", as he defined it, may have been a little boring. That's why Llull chose to put across his message in every possible way. He wrote a book on mysticism (Book of Contemplation), a novel (Felix or the Book of Wonders) and a chivalresque novel (Book of the Order of Chivalry), poetry (Song of Ramon), a book of grammar (New Rhetoric), a book of aphorisms, the Book of the Lover and the Beloved, a treatise on astronomy and, first and foremost, works on philosophy, such as the Ars Magna. And not forgetting his troubadour poems, none of which survive.
Unbeknown to him, Ramon Llull invented the calculator (and, in passing, the web)
Throughout his life, Ramon Llull was obsessed with one subject: disseminating the word of God and converting sinners (that is, the Jews and Muslims) into Christians. That's why he invented an Ars combinatoria, a thinking machine, which enabled people to attain divine thinking. Three centuries later (the number three crops up again), Leibniz created a calculating machine based on Llull's philosophy. This machine can also be seen at the exhibition. Lull's combinatorial system is also the basis for the system of networks, meaning that, for Llull, "being means being connected".
Ramon Llull is an influencer
Ramon Llull's dream has reached us today through literature and art. For instance, Jorge Luis Borges wrote a short story entitled Ramon Llull's Thinking Machine. Umberto Eco devoted many pages to Llull in The Search for the Perfect Language. Juan Eduardo Cirlot explored the permutations of language, and the poetry collective Oulipo published One Hundred Billion Poems, based on the combinatorial system. Salvador Dalí staged a performance "following Ramon Llull's archangelic doctrine"…
Ramon Llull, is, therefore, a multifaceted, complex and fascinating person. The creator of a new way of thinking who was ahead of his time and has become our contemporary. We can't think of any better reason to come and see The thinking machine. Ramon Llull and the Ars combinatoria, open from July 14 to September 11.

Nobel Laureates in Literature who have visited the CCCB
May 17th, 2016 CCCB No Comments
The Centre de Cultura Contemporània de Barcelona's interest in literature is very much present in its programme, from exhibitions to debates, in performative activities such as Slam Poetry and in consolidated festivals such as Kosmopolis, Primera Persona and Món Llibre. The CCCB is writers' territory and this spring among the interesting authors visiting us are Juan Marsé, Jordi Puntí, Renata Adler, John Irving, Don DeLillo and Svetlana Alexievich. Taking advantage of the visit by the Nobel Laureate in Literature of 2015, we have done a little archaeological digging in our archive to remember other writers who have visited the CCCB and were also winners of this prestigious accolade.
Svetlana Alexievich Nobel Prize in Literature 2015. She visited the CCCB on May 2016 in a conversation with writer Francesc Serés.
Herta Müller Nobel Prize in Literature 2009 – She visited the CCCB in June 2012. She gave the lecture "Language as Homeland" and talked with translator and literary critic Cecilia Dreymüller. To coincide with her presence at the Centre, a small-format exhibition was dedicated to her "Herta Müller: The Vicious Circle of Words".
Orham Pamuk. Nobel Prize in Literature 2006. He visited the CCCB in January 2010. The celebrated Turkish writer gave an interesting lecture on the future of museums and of novels.
J.M.Coetzee. Nobel Prize in Literature 2003. He made a "virtual" visit to the CCCB in October 2008. The South African writer read some excerpts from his book "Diary of A Bad Year" exclusively for the Kosmopolis literature festival.
Gao Xingjian. Nobel Prize in Literature 2000. Visited the CCCB in October 2008. The Chinese writer talked about the reason for being of literature and the sacrifices involved in the defence of creative freedom against the abuses of political or media power. The CCCB devoted an exhibition to him along with a television programme "Soy Cámara. El mundo de Gao"
Mario Vargas Llosa. Nobel Prize in Literature 2010. He visited the CCCB in October 2004.

The CCCB, a center commited to Literature
April 21st, 2016 Eva Rexach 1 Comment
Since 11 December 2015, Barcelona has formed part of the UNESCO's Creative Cities network in the field of literature. Together with Baghdad (Iraq), Ljubljana (Slovenia), Lviv (Ukraine), Montevideo (Uruguay), Nottingham (England), Óbidos (Portugal), Tartu (Estonia) and Ulyanovsk (Russia), Barcelona now has official recognition of a reality that has been palpable in the city for a long time.

Literature is one of the primary focuses of the CCCB and forms part of its founding principles: "The CCCB is a space for the creation, research, dissemination and debating of contemporary culture in which the visual arts, literature, philosophy, film, music, the performing arts and transmedia activity are interconnected in an interdisciplinary programme". Literature is, therefore, one of the subjects that have most featured in exhibitions and activities over the centre's twenty years of history.
In 1995, just a year after its inauguration, the CCCB presented the exhibition James Joyce's Dublin, the first of a series devoted to cities and the writers linked to them. After Dublin, the series continued with The Lisbons of Pessoa (1997), The City of K. Kafka and Prague (1999) and Cosmopolis. Borges and Buenos Aires (2002). All of these exhibitions went beyond the writing to relate the works of authors with their literary and personal landscapes, to discover how the cities that they inhabited were the direct or indirect protagonists of their works. In The Trieste of Magris (2011), the Italian city served as a physical tour around the work of the Italian writer; with Pasolini Rome (2013), the filmmaker met the writer to defend his most critical role and Bolaño Archive (2013) recalled the passing of the Chilean writer through Blanes, Girona and Barcelona via a detective-style journey that visitors had to resolve, a kind of "meta-exhibition" that allowed relations and clues to be discovered in the very work of the author of The Savage Detectives.

Other writers as subjects of exhibitions and debates have been Calders (The Mirrors of Fiction, 2000), Espriu (I Looked Upon This Land, 2013), W.G. Sebald (Sebald Variations, 2015, an exhibition that related the walks taken by the German author with contemporary art), Julio Cortázar (Travels, Images and Other Territories, 2004), Federico García Lorca (1998) and J.G. Ballard (Autopsy of the New Millennium, 2008).

It was the exhibition devoted to Borges that gave its name to the amplified literature fest Kosmopolis, which held its first edition in December 2002. Since then, every two years (with some exceptions: in 2005 a special edition was held to coincide with Book and Reading Year and the 400th anniversary of the publication of the Quijote), it has brought together some of the best authors of world literature, including several Nobel, Cervantes and Príncipe de Asturias prize winners, such as Juan Marsé, Gao Xingjian, Claudio Magris, J.M. Coetzee, Tzvetan Tódorov, Amos Oz, Ismail Kadaré, Mario Vargas Llosa and Svetlana Alexievich. Kosmopolis bears the subtitle "Amplified literature fest" because it is more than a literature festival, because the themes for each edition are related to each other, because writing, science, comic art, the written and spoken word, music and theatre all form part of a programme that explores the letters from very diverse perspectives. And because it does not focus on a single form of literary expression, but rather encompasses them all. For all these reasons we would be so bold as to say that Kosmopolisis the only festival held in Barcelona on literature understood in its broadest sense, since other meet-ups, such as BCNegra or Barcelona Poesía, focus on the field of literature specialising in the crime and poetry genres, respectively.

Beyond the exhibitions, the CCCB has also hosted book presentations, courses, tribute events and lectures by authors from al over the world. To cite just a few examples: Paul Auster presented his Winter Journal in 2012; Erri de Luca talked about the Mediterranean; Amin Maalouf debated on identity and memory; Orhan Pamuk reflected on the future of museums and literature; Herta Müller presented a small-format exhibition on her work; Salman Rushdie explained why we live in the time of strangeness, and Jonathan Safran Foerdefended the need to stop eating animals.

In 2016 we commemorated the seven-hundred year anniversary of the death of Ramon Llull and over the course of the year various activities were held related with the writer, philosopher, theologian, professor and missionary. At the CCCB we joined the commemoration with an exhibition, The Thinking Machine. Ramon Llull and the ars combinatoria, which offered a new perspective regarding his work. However, this is not the first nor the last anniversary to be celebrated at the centre: we also remembered J.V. Foix with the recital FestFoix. 25 Years With/Without Foix; we hosted a tribute to Joan Vinyoli on the thirty-year anniversary of his death, Anniversary Promenade. Tribute to Joan Vinyoli, and Raimon read texts by Joan Fuster on the 2012 commemoration of ninety years since his birth and fifty since the publication of his most important work, Nosaltres, els valencians. For the last three years we have also been celebrating Orwell Day; once a month we host a meet-up focusing on the spoken word, PoetrySlam, and regularly the Friends of the CCCB participate in the Reading Club led by journalist and writer Antonio Lozano. Furthermore, since 2013 the CCCB has formed part of the Literature Across Frontiers platform, which promotes literature and translation in minority languages with member literary festivals from places as diverse as Turkey, Poland, the United Kingdom, Croatia, Norway, Portugal and Slovenia.
Apart from Llull, the literary programme for 2016 was again brimming with important events. In May and June we were visited by Northamerican writers John Irving and Don DeLillo and in November we hosted Eurocon, Europe's most important science-fiction literature meeting. We also received the most autobiographical authors of the moment at the Primera Persona festival, which confirmed authors such as Renata Adler, Juan Marsé, Carlos Zanón and Jordi Puntí. Writers such as Elif Shafak, Mia Couto and Patrick Deville came to talk about books and literature and in 2017 we've celebrated a new edition of Kosmopolis with guests like John Banville, Pierre Lemaitre, Zeina Abirached, Jean Echenoz and PJ Harvey, who gave her first poetry recital in Spain.

With this track record, Barcelona's candidate status as Literary City was a project that the centre defended with enthusiasm and with the conviction that it was a recognition that Barcelona has deserved for some time. Now, with this honorary title, the city has fully entered the worldwide league of creative cities, and the CCCB will continue to be on the front line, defending literature as one of the fine arts. Because, as defined by the principles of Kosmopolis, literature is "the only discourse that does not try to model the world on absolute foundations, disciplinary frontiers or ideological straitjackets".

New County CEO Starts by Reaching Out to Employees
by Nick Gerda May 13, 2015 Updated Dec 8, 2020 Why you can trust Voice of OC
Newly-appointed county CEO Frank Kim is sworn in by supervisors' Chairman Todd Spitzer. Credit: Nick Gerda / Voice of OC
New Orange County CEO Frank Kim began his tenure Tuesday with a shout-out to county employees, who he said have "kept their eye on the ball" during years of difficult times brought on by the Great Recession.
"And because of that, we've accomplished so much," Kim said just after taking his oath of office.
He added: "I want to say to all the county employees, you have my commitment that I will work with you to make this county a better place for the citizens of Orange County, the businesses that operate here and for the employees that show up to work every day."
With his comments, Kim sent a clear message that he intends to address the morale problems that persisted during the relatively short tenure of his predecessor, Mike Giancola.
A recent and widely circulated county survey of employee attitudes showed that responses to the statement "I have confidence in the leader of [the] County of Orange" were 29 percent below he benchmark for other government agencies.
Kim, who until Tuesday served as chief financial officer, was named interim CEO in January after Giancola went on medical leave following back surgery. Then, last month, Giancola announced plans to retire early, which were abruptly moved up again last week.
With their choice of Kim, a Korean American, supervisors appointed the first non-white CEO in county history.
His contract calls for him to be paid $248,000 per year in salary plus benefits. And because Kim's wife and sister also work for the county, the County Counsel's office was tasked with writing up letters how to handle any workplace complaints that might involve them.
In an interview with Voice of OC, Kim reiterated his commitment to deal with the issues raised by the employee survey, which included thousands of individual responses.
"We need to engage our employees, because morale and dedication and job satisfaction – all of those kinds of things are important," he said. "We can't accomplish anything without [them]."
Another key priority for Kim is shoring up technological and physical infrastructure that was put on hold during the recession.
The projects include improvements to county utilities such as water piping and electricity for Civic Center buildings, along with computer system upgrades.
Kim will also be evaluating centralization efforts at the county, including that of human resources and the possibility of centralizing IT and contract procurement services.
He also pointed to the county's low share of property taxes – which are less than half of what other large California counties receive back from Sacramento – as a key issue to tackle. Kim noted that it's unclear how Orange County could convince the state Legislature to give those funds, though he remained optimistic.
"It's important to continue to engage" on the tax equity issue, Kim said, given that creative solutions come from many different places.
Kim has worked at the county for nearly 20 years and rose through the ranks to become its top finance official. And, at least for now, he's being universally praised for his fairness and honesty.
"I cannot tell you the amount of trust that you have earned over the years from the department heads as well as certainly the board and the employees in the county," Supervisor Andrew Do told Kim at Tuesday's meeting, noting that Kim led the county through a "really difficult time" in 2008 and 2009.
"You have the requisite leadership character, strength, knowledge in order to guide us into the future," Do added.
"I'm so pleased you're here," said Supervisor Shawn Nelson. "You are one of the most ethical, honest people I know."
Supervisors' Chairman Todd Spitzer noted that history was made Tuesday with the swearing in of a person of color to the county's top job.
"I think this continues this county's commitment to diversity," Spitzer said, noting the historic nature of the appointment.
Supervisors also thanked Giancola for his service, with Spitzer saying he is leaving county after "three-plus decades of exemplary service, and you have everything today to be proud of."
Giancola said "it's been humbling trying to guide and work collaboratively with all my 18,000 dedicated county colleagues," and thanked his executive staff and the supervisors.
"These guys get no credit, each of them, in their own way, [for] the passion, the care and the dedication and hard work," Giancola said of the supervisors. "Some of these folks are on 18 boards, 15 boards."
Correction: A previous version of this story incorrectly stated that Kim's salary is $3,000 more than Giancola's. Giancola received raises since his appointment as CEO that the county says put his salary at about the same level as Kim's.

'Every Oklahoman should know their story': Thunder Free Days bring first-time visitors to OKC National Memorial and Museum
by Maddie Lee
Published: Fri, April 17, 2020 6:00 PM Updated: Sat, April 18, 2020 1:22 AM
Stephanie Powers, center, and her children Daisy, right, and Isaiah, left, visited the Oklahoma City Memorial and Museum on Feb. 25, one of this year's monthly Thunder Free Days. [provided]
Stephanie Powers stared past the glass, transported back in time.
"There wasn't the reflecting pool or any of that here," she said to her son Isaiah, 9, and daughter Daisy, 14. "It was this."
She swept one arm in front of her, motioning across the section of fence on display in the Oklahoma City National Memorial and Museum. Twenty two years ago, when Stephanie hopped off the Greyhound bus that took her from California to Oklahoma City, her father took her to the site of the Oklahoma City bombing right off the bat. The fence that encircled it had seemed so much taller then.
Two months ago, Powers, 34, took her two middle children to the museum for the first time. It was the second Thunder Free Day of the year.
For the 25th anniversary of the Oklahoma City bombing, which lands on Sunday, the NBA's Thunder planned to provide free admission to the memorial museum on the 25th of every month this year (except for December, when admission will be free on the 31st instead). The coronavirus pandemic eliminated the March and April dates, but Thunder Free Days will resume as soon as the museum can reopen.
"That's what they're designed to do, is to bring people in who haven't been here," said Kari Watkins, executive director of the Oklahoma City National Memorial & Museum. "It's almost like people are feeling the responsibility to learn their story, and that's something we feel very strongly, that every Oklahoman should know their story."
Oklahomans like Powers and her children.
A year ago, Daisy ran the Memorial 5K during the Oklahoma City Marathon. Stephanie had been talking about visiting the museum ever since.
"I don't know why I never came," Stephanie said. "I knew it was gonna be emotional, and I'm usually an emotional wreck."
They finally found the time when Stephanie heard about the Thunder Free Days on the news.
"An opportunity for the kids to kind of take a brain break from schoolwork," Stephanie said, "and do some more learning, but do it hands on."
While parents across the nation have been turned into pseudo home-school teachers due to closures in the past month, Daisy and Isaiah have been enrolled in online school all year. Stephanie chose late morning for the trip to the museum, when she knew most kids would still be in school. Feb. 25 was a Tuesday. Attendance spiked, but the 866 visitors that day didn't pack the museum like the 2,299 visitors on Jan. 25, a Saturday.
Daisy had been skeptical going into the experience.
"I thought it was going to be boring," she said.
The museum surprised her.
The tour began lighthearted. Stephanie pointed out the federal building to Isaiah in a mural of downtown under the words, "A day like any other." Daisy laughed as she posed on the windowsill and Stephanie took her picture.
Then they entered the Oklahoma Water Resources Board meeting room as a recording from April 19, 1995 played. They walked out into scenes of panic and destruction.
"Look, mom, it's a computer," Isaiah said, pointing into a display case filled with artifacts pulled from the rubble, as newscasts played overhead.
The family paused in front of a projection to watch footage from the day of the bombing and interviews with survivors. Stephanie's eyes began to well.
"Are you going to cry?" Daisy asked.
"It doesn't make sense," Stephanie said, swallowing hard.
As their journey wound through the exhibits, they took in the stories of victims, survivors and first responders. Stephanie checked in with Isaiah halfway through to see if he'd learned at least three things. Later, she marveled at how much she was learning, despite living in Oklahoma for most of her life.
Stephanie was still in Barstow, California, when the bomb tore apart the Alfred P. Murrah Federal Building, killing 168 people. But she remembers huddling in the living room with her family until they got word that Stephanie's father, who was working in Oklahoma, was OK.
By the time Stephanie and her children reached the section on the criminal investigation, the shocked hush had lifted from their little group. Isaiah had become so enthralled with the interactive touch screens set up throughout the museum that Daisy had started calling them "Isaiah screens." Daisy, an avid "Criminal Minds" viewer, examined the evidence with the curiosity of an aspiring FBI behavioral analyst.
"Incredible," Stephanie said after they finished their walk through the museum.
Isaiah echoed that sentiment, thrusting one hand in the air for effect.
When the museum reopens to visitors, the Thunder Free Days won't quite be the bustling affairs they were at the beginning of the year.
"We won't have crowded museums like that; I think those days are behind us," Watkins said, adding that the museum is working on a plan to provide patrons with the space they need to safely and comfortably enjoy the experience.
"We feel like we share part of the same mission," Watkins said of the Thunder, "of showing people, what the Oklahoma Standard is and why it's important that we all learn it and live by it. In these times of COVID-19, it's more important than ever that we take care of our neighbor and we help one another and we show people the very best."

Why Louboutin Said No to Rizzoli (At First)
By Britt Aboutaleb

While Tom Ford welcomed his adoring public at Bergdorf Goodman last night in honor of his debut beauty collection, Barneys was toastingChristian Louboutin with an intimate book signing and dinner. It was the first stop on Louboutin's Barneys' book tour—he'll be in LA on Thursday—and a handful of loyal starlets, including the Olsens and Blake Lively, came bursting with celebratory energy.
The pink and gold tome is certainly worthy of a party—it probably weighs about as much as ten pairs of Louboutin shoes—and is stocked with photos of whimsical heels and structured bags as well as portraits of friends likeKristin Scott Thomas and Dita Von Teese, plus never before seen photos shot in collaboration with David Lynch.
Perhaps not surprisingly for a perfectionist, the cobbler initially said no to the project. "Rizzoli came to see me and they asked me if I wanted to do a book and I said, `Well, no,'" Louboutin explained. "They said, `Why?' and I said it's going to take at least a year! Because if I was going to do a book it would be a nice book and it would take a lot of research and things and take a minimum of a year. And they said, `Well if you think about it, a year is going to be twenty years of your company.' So then I thought actually, they're right, 20 years is, I guess, something to celebrate."
Louboutin knew that aside from the shoes, the photography was the most important element. But the portraits weren't realized until later in the book making process. "I didn't think that there would be any portraits of people, but the photographer, Philip Garcia, did one or two photographs where he had, as the backdrop, the hair of a red haired girl and I loved those pictures," Louboutin said. "Then I thought, I think it's a bit weird in a book which is actually celebrating women, to only represent them from the back—it just makes no sense."
So who'd he call first? "My sister!"

Prosecutor: Georgia inmate plotted escape that left 2 dead
Sep. 20, 2021 at 2:50 pm Updated Sep. 20, 2021 at 2:51 pm
EATONTON, Ga. (AP) — The trial of Georgia inmate facing the death penalty for the slayings of two prison guards opened Monday with a prosecutor saying the inmate was the mastermind of a deadly escape plan, while a defense attorney insisted his client had no clue a fellow prisoner would kill the officers.
Donnie Rowe is charged with murder in the June 2017 killings of Sgt. Christopher Monica and Sgt. Curtis Billue aboard a prison transport bus southeast of Atlanta. He escaped along with inmate Ricky Dubose. Both men were arrested in Tennessee days later and charged in the slayings.
Prosecutor Dawn Baskins told jurors in an opening statement Monday that evidence will show Rowe plotted the escape, WGXA-TV reported. She said Rowe noticed a gate separating the two guards on the bus from the inmates was unlocked.
Baskins said jurors will view security video from the bus showing Rowe and Dubose approaching the gate after one of the guards, Monica, fell asleep. She said Rowe used his chains to strike Monica, then seven gunshots rang out.
"The evidence will show (Monica) was alive," Baskins said. "The evidence will show but for those last two shots, he would have lived. He would have lived, but for the abandoned and malignant heart of Donnie Rowe."
Defense attorney Frank Hogue didn't dispute Rowe's involvement in the crime. But he said the gunshots were all fired by Dubose after he got into boxes holding the guards' weapons.
Hogue told jurors they will be able to hear on the video Dubose tell Rowe he isn't going to kill the officers, and that Rowe responded either "good" or "cool."
"You will hear no such evidence that Donnie Rowe knew, while disabling Officer Monica, Dubose would kill them," said Hogue.
Jury selection in the case took about three weeks. Because of pretrial publicity, jurors were selected from rural Grady County in south Georgia. They were bused about 200 miles (320 kilometers) north to Putnam County, where jurors are staying in a hotel for the duration of the trial.
Dubose also faces the death penalty and will be tried separately.
