RTE Admissions
Panel may push widening of RTE to nursery, high school
PUBLISH DATE 7th January 2018
http://vidyarthimitra.org/news/Panel-may-push-widening-of-RTE-to-nursery,-high-school
A key panel of India's apex education reforms body is likely to recommend bringing pre-school and classes nine and
10 within the ambit of the Right to Education (RTE) Act, thereby expanding the range of free education for children across India, members of the panel said on Saturday.
Currently, the landmark law applies to children between six and 14 years of age studying in Classes 1 to 8. The sub-committee of the Central Advisory Board of Education (CABE) will meet on January 11 to finalise its recommendation before sending the report, the officials indicated.
The CABE meets on January
15, which will be chaired by Union HRD minister Prakash Javadekar. Education ministers of most states will attend the event at which the change in the RTE Act will be discussed and a decision could be taken.
"A final decision will be taken in consultation with all the states. The report of the committee once it is tabled at the CABE meeting will be circulated and discussed at length," said a senior official, who asked not to be named.
If the recommendation is accepted by the government, the act will have to be amended in Parliament to accommodate the changes. The 29-member CABE sub-committee headed by Union minister of state for HRD Satyapal Singh, who is in charge of higher education, was formed three years ago to study the feasibility of extending the law from pre-school to secondary education. If the government approves the suggestion, it will be a key step in ensuring continuity in free school education and arresting dropouts. The dropout rate is more than 17% at the secondary level — classes nine and 10 — as against 4% in elementary school in 2015-16, according to government data. "There is broad consensus among all the members to extend the RTE Act," a member of the sub-committee said.
The sub-panel was also asked to prepare a detailed estimate on the cost of providing free education from pre-school to Class 10. "A change will have financial implications for the government and, so, a broader consensus is required," the official said.
The National Commission for Protection of Child Rights (NCPCR) had also pitched for extending the right to education to pre-schools, officials said. The CABE meeting assumes importance as the board in the past had taken significant decisions, including discarding the contentious no-detention policy in schools.
Extension of the act has been a longstanding demand, according to Annie Namala, a member of the National Advisory Council for implementation of the act in 2010. "Class 10 is considered the bare minimum these days. Studying till Class 8 does not ensure a better future," said Namala, who is now the executive director with the Centre for Social Equity and Inclusion.
But several educationists feel the move will not help improve the quality of education, especially in government schools. "This is just populism," said Janaki Rajan of Jamia Millia Islamia.

I am sorry, but I think I need to see your program. Is it possible to upload it.
Hi, I really aprreciate your help. My program is to big to fit in here. But anyway i have fix my problem. But i still have no idea what went wrong. In my first thread i said i tried a small program, and it was OK. After a frustation tried. i copy my program to my first project. and re-buil OB100. To my surprise it works. Then i tried to copy SFC5, 20, 22, 43, 46, 47, 50, 51, 58, 59, 64, 65, 66 from my first project to my second one. The redundant works. i got no error at all. may be there is something wrong with my computer.
I would like to thank everybody especially JMJ who had spend your time and patient to help me out. Thank you again.
Good to know thatyou solved the probelm.
Can I have your 1st and small program?
I am also working with a project using 2 S7-319 for redundancy.It is always have the error #8013 or #8015 and it requests to check the connection. I find nothing wrong in the connection and cable.
I have trial on the program in PLCSIM and the result is same (no connection).
So I want more programs as reference.
it's been a year, sorry i do not have this small program anymore.
The idea is i have a input that directly control a output. when the input is on then the output is on too. then i try the redundancy. i suggest you do the same to figure out how s/w reduncant work.
you could post your screen shot here, i will try to help.
i donot think s/w redundant will work with plcsim.
First of all PLCSIM does notsimulate send recieve kind of communication features. So you need your actualsetup tp test. What is the redundancy link? MPI, PROFIBUS or Ethernet. CPU interface or CP?
What blocks are you using for send receive?
When youget W#16#8013, what is the value for EXT_INFO?

Tesla Summon Hints at How the World of Self-Driving Cars Will Work
Christie Hemm Klok/WIRED
David Pierce
We know what a self-driving car will look like, but what about the platforms that will power it?
At this point, self-driving cars are futuristic in the way next Thursday is futuristic: not here yet, but definitely coming.
The government's pumping billions into the idea, and Tesla Motors, Google, Uber, General Motors, Faraday Future, Baidu, and a long list of companies you would and wouldn't think of are reserving their slice of the now-inevitable world where cars don't need humans and can come to us with the press of a button.
The underlying technology---how to make these vehicles actually work---is just the first step into this world. The second step is far trickier: Rethinking the entire car culture we've built over the past century. "As cool as the technology is in itself," says Thilo Koslowski, vice president and automotive practice leader at analysis firm Gartner, "it's just the means to something more impactful."
What do you do with your time when you're on an eight-hour road trip but not driving? Where do these cars go when they're not being used? Where do parking spaces go? (Audi's got some ideas on that one.) Do we want an all-Uber world, where we're stuck paying surge pricing for our morning commute and waiting ten minutes for the nearest driver to find our street? Do we still go to dealerships to buy cars? If not, how do we re-think car ownership? The questions go on and on, and only a few involve how to make the car drive itself.
The standard vision for a world with self-driving cars imagines fleets of vehicles roaming from place to place, anticipating and meeting demand. Nobody knows how we'll get there, or what happens when we do. "Whenever I'm being asked about who's a leader of this space," Koslowski says, "I always show an empty throne."
This week, a couple of big players started to show their early bids for the crown. Tesla announced Summon, which lets you use your phone to, well, summon your Tesla. (It's not the most clever name.) The idea is simple: Stand at the end of your driveway and press a button, and your car will open the garage, start up, and meet you. At the end of the day, hop out and let your car put itself to bed---charging and all.
All this is "just a baby step in the direction of Summon," CEO Elon Musk told reporters after the announcement. "Ultimately, you'll be able to summon your car from anywhere ... the car can physically get to you." Give it two more years, he said, and "you'll be able to summon your car from across the country." After that, it'll sync with your calendar to ensure your ride is waiting when your meeting ends. Summon sets the stage for a self-driving car network of one: Your Tesla's there when you need it, and you don't worry about it the rest of the time.
Ford's got its own plans. The Detroit giant is looking at ways of bringing you and your friends together in beautiful car-owning harmony. Unlike GM's Let's Drive NYC program, or Zipcar, or Car2Go, it's not interested in renting cars on a per-hour basis (though it's probably looking at that too). It's testing a setup called Ford Credit Link that allows you and as many as five buddies to lease a single car. You'd use the companion app to figure out who's driving when, keep tabs on maintenance, and even make payments.
It's obvious there are large groups of customers that want the convenience and access to a car when they need it, but not the hassle of ownership.
Dan Ammann, president of GM
FordPass is designed for boring old human-driven cars, but you can see how it would make sense once the robots are in charge. Your group's self-driving car could learn your respective schedules and needs, Summon-style, and act as your group chauffeur. You have a personal ride-sharing network, where the prices never change and you never have to talk to a rando driver or deal with the mess some stranger left behind (unless your buddies are slobs).
By 2020, Koslowski predicts, 10 percent of vehicle owners in mature, urban markets---think San Francisco, think Paris---will replace their car with access to an on-demand fleet. He's not alone here. "[It's] obvious to us that there are large groups of customers out there that want to have the convenience and access to a car when they need it, but they don't want to have the hassle of ownership," Dan Ammann, president of GM, said last week.
It seems likely that before long, if you don't want to own a car, you won't have to. Eventually, your personal car's replacement will be driven by a robot instead of someone who'll file a 1099. But even if you do keep the pink slip, you won't be driving for much longer. You'll be doing ... something else. Nobody really knows exactly what. But there's a huge upside to figuring that out.
Consider the fact that more than eight percent of American commuters spend more than two hours going to and from work every day. Consider the fact that self-driving cars mean all those people are a captive audience every moment they're in the car---and that when they don't have to drive, their attention can be drawn anywhere else. When rational capitalists hears that, their eyes turn to dollar signs.
Speaking of eyes filled with dollar signs, Uber announced this week that it's opening an API to allow partners to offer people "experiences" during their rides. Uber thinks it can fill your 20-minute ride with a 20-minute playlist, or a news briefing, or a coupon for a nearby McDonald's, to help you pass the time. Sure, you could continue entertaining yourself with your phone, but there's money to be made for whoever can tailor your experience both to you and your journey.

These steps by Tesla, Ford, and Uber are nominally aimed at making mobility easier. Tesla owners don't have to walk all the way to the garage anymore. Ford owners can reserve parking spots and schedule maintenance on their phones. Uber riders don't have to waste their phone battery to stay entertained in the car. What's most exciting about these programs, though, is how they position each company to maintain their relevance---and market share---as we inevitably start to surrender the wheel.
"FordPass is about building relationships with customers," says Elena Ford, the company's VP of consumer and dealer experience. Why? Because when customers like you, they stick with you. While Ford experiments with ride-sharing and parking-finders and all the ways people might want to own and share a car, it wants to offer people an experience just cool enough that they decide to come along for the ride.
These are all just testing grounds for the future. None of these platforms are finished, and no rules have been set for the self-driving era that is heading toward us and picking up speed, though the federal Department of Transportation and automakers want to start laying some down in the next six months. Car manufacturers are starting to find out what a truly connected ecosystem looks like, when your car knows you and itself well enough to keep both up and running.
No one knows much of anything yet---these are all shots in the dark, spaghetti thrown at the wall. These companies don't know what they're doing, only that change is coming and they'd better not get left behind.

Internet marketing is one of the most difficult places to be if you want to succeed as a businessman. Nevertheless, a lot of people still choose to pursue this goal. Virtually anything that you can imagine starts with a search. The internet is full of various websites and it is only natural that people tend to promote themselves. One of the most effective ways to get organic traffic is by putting AdWords to good use. It is a technique that some entrepreneurs tend to overlook, missing on quite a lot. And as you can probably expect, there is more than one layer to it. In fact, AdWords is as complicated as it can get. But it does not mean you should not give it a go. Read on and you will find plenty of great tips that can help you get to new heights thanks to Google AdWords.
It is without a doubt one of the most common mistakes that beginners make. Putting up a fight against just yourself is the wrong strategy. Google AdWords might switch to a keyword that you are not focusing on, but rather on its duplicate. Also, it is not a stretch to say that the more orderly your list is, the easier it is to plan ahead.
The initial investment might be a bit too much for some people. However, it does not mean that you cannot make it easier on yourself. A simple Google AdWords (Google Ads) promo code is available on websites similar to GetGoogleAds.com. It would be a waste to not consider taking advantage of what is available to you.
One of the many reasons why AdWords is such a great Google tool is that it shows the quality of the keywords. As you can expect, these tend to change quite a bit, so it would be wise to keep track of whether it is going up and down. It will save a lot of money, especially if you are in this for the long run. Once a keyword starts to decline and is no longer profitable, you should focus your resources on another one. All of that is possible if you keep track of your campaign.
If you have a business that relies on sales, you will need to monitor what is happening when a sale occurs. It means that understanding what leads to a customer landing on a page and buying will further improve your profit. Also, it allows making adjustments for stuff that does not work as intended.
Ads that do not perform should not be there at all. It should be a no-brainer. Something that you can consider to be a dead weight has a lot of downsides, such as money, time, and an overall bad mood. Negative things discourage a lot, and it means that getting rid of that should be one of your priorities.
When users click on the ad, they expect to get redirected to a page that they expect. Therefore, you must ensure that the landing page is not something completely random, but rather something that these people are looking for. Not doing this will cause problems with bounce rates, and this is something that Google does not like.
The data becomes more useful as time passes. You cannot expect to have everything immediately. AdWords campaigns are the perfect example of trial and error. The more you dab in it, the more experience you are going to gain. And as the numbers come in, you can make adjustments according to them.
To make a conclusion, it should be obvious that Google AdWords is a tough place to get into. However, it still provides a lot of opportunities for those who want to make that next step in ecommerce or any other internet venture. Of course, you should prepare to spend time and money on it, as things do not come easily. But once they do, it is quite satisfying.
Ticket sales are down and you're scratching your head to figures out what needs to change to improve the situation…sound familiar?
Well in reality it could be a whole number of things and to truly find the source you need to monitor the various aspects, i.e. what is your reach? If you're getting in front of the right people in the right volumes and you're still struggling to sell tickets, then you could definitely benefit from making some tweaks to your conference package.
Moreover, if your conference has been running for some years and you're not seeing a good percentage of returning delegates, there is definitely a problem here to address.
Before you go about revamping your conference, its worth spending some time taking stock and working out the areas which are contributing to your current situation.
Above all else, it's vital to know what your audience needs, how they operate, how the conference would significantly benefit them and where to reach them.
A great question to ask yourself is – why would anyone want to make the financial investment to attend this conference? What will they gain specifically?
The more flexibility you can offer potential attendees, the more likely they are to attend your event. This is because people are innately different, meaning one offering will only be attractive to some. Therefore, broadening your options for attendance with greatly improve the chances of someone deciding to attend or not.
For example, you could offer a range of access options, so delegates can pay for tickets to attend certain 'zones' or 'sections' of your conference rather than just a single ticket to attend the whole event. Now, if you're thinking this sounds like a logistical nightmare – with the support of ID card software, you can easily track and manage your delegates whereabouts, without draining your resources.
In order to decide which ticket options, you should offer, its worth first spending some time researching why some of your audience haven't attended your conference and also look at any competitors and what they offer – this will help inform your decisions.
Thinking outside the box can pay dividends when it comes to event ticket sales, having unique elements as part of your conference package will help set you apart from the rest.
Get creative and really go to town on the possibilities. For example, just because its not a wellness event, it doesn't mean you couldn't a relaxation corner where attendees can get massages and other treatments.
Ultimately, if you can provide a valuable and memorable experience, where people leave having gained something, they will return and they will tell others. In time, you won't need to spend much time on reaching out to your potential customers as they will be coming to find you! How good would that be?
People love a freebee! Offer as many as possible, from free Wi-Fi, to free food and alcohol all will go down extremely well with your attendees. After all, who wants to pay for a ticket only to have to pay even more once you're through the door.
However, don't go overboard, remember you still need to make a profit! Instead focus on areas which will add the most value and be most sort after.
Another aspect which could significantly improve the attractiveness of your conference is to avoid doing the classic things that put people off.
What puts people off most?… Excessive spammy' emails!
When it comes to communications, a less is more approach is advisable. Aim each to be engaging and achieve a purpose. Keep them succinct and purposeful.
Individuals and businesses get into debts in life at some point or other. Taking debt from the market is nothing uncommon, but the problem arises when we fail to repay. In the case of businesses, finance is essential for the smooth flow of operations. It is considered as the backbone of a concern. Debts are taken from the market by business houses for several reasons. For some businesses it is to finance their working capital requirements, i.e., the day to day operations, for some it is to purchase new assets and equipment, while for others it is for inventories management. In this post, you will get in-depth information about the problems of having multiple debts and the slight variation between the concept of refinancing and debt consolidation.
Some of the classic mistakes resulting in the requirement to avail credit include Overestimated Revenue Forecasts, i.e., actual Sales much lower than predictions, Excessive Expenditure on Overheads, Capital expenditure beyond capacity, etc.
Imbalance in Cash Flows, i.e., day to day operational funds and assets. This is the essential part of any Small or Medium business as it accounts for the majority of the business proportion.
High Interest amounts to be paid due to delay in payment.
Frequent calls and notices for repayment of loan installments as per various schedules.
Poor impact on credit score.
To solve these problems, there's a systematic process called Refinancing. For best refinancing services you can access Nationaldebtreliefprograms.com/.
Refinancing is a planned repayment of existing loans with the help of new loans. Although this sounds undesirable for any financial body to provide a loan to pay off another loan, that's not how this process works. Many financial companies provide Refinancing services wherein the existing high-interest rate loans are paid off with new low-interest loans, which ultimately benefit the client with savings on the excessive interest rates.
Debt consolidation is a subtype of Refinancing, but both these terms are quite distinct in the manner of settlement of the original loans. While Refinancing involves settling original loan with a new loan, debt consolidation involves consolidation of several business loans that are smaller in amount into one big consolidated loan which has a measurable rate of interest.
Why is Debt Consolidation the Best Refinancing Alternative for Your Business?
Keeping track of multiple lender accounts.
Budgeting for different installments of Debt repayments.
Complexity in calculating the accumulated rate of interest on all the installments to assess its ultimate impact on cash flows.
Regular impact on working capital due to frequent payments.
Difficulty in obtaining new business credit accounts due to poor credit score.
Debt consolidation is a more viable type of refinancing because it narrows down your multiple numbers of debts to one. Thus, not only does it eliminate the need to pay multiple installments frequently, but it also brings the number of lenders down to one, and it may also help you to probably get a favorable rate of interest lower than the existing ones.
There are mainly two types of Debt consolidation which you can choose from to manage your multiple debt crises, namely Secured Debt Consolidation &Unsecured Debt Consolidation.
Secured Debt Consolidation: As the name suggests, all your multiple debts, in most of the cases unsecured, are consolidated into one single loan which is secured against some collateral security of yours. A prominent and most relevant example of this is a Home Equity Loan. A Home Equity Loan is available at all the financial institutions and banks as a credit against your House as collateral security. Similarly, in case of a business, all your existing loans will be consolidated in a single loan against some business property as the collateral security. The term of such loans is quite long stretching up to as long as ten years or more. The monthly installments are very low and reasonable. The fixed interest rate too might be lower than the aggregate of what you are currently paying. Plus, due to the option of security, it is safer than unsecured consolidation. The only problem with such debts is the gruesome complex procedure and the paperwork of the collateral security involved, which might be a discouraging factor.
Such type of consolidation, however, can also be risky at the same time, because non-payment of dues shall result in confiscation of the business property which is mortgaged as collateral security. Moreover, what could be worse for your business is that in case the value of mortgaged property diminishes below the consolidated debt repayment value, it can pose a potential threat of bankruptcy for your business.
Unsecured Debt Consolidation: Under this type of Debt consolidation, there's no requirement of any collateral security to be mortgaged with the bank, and neither is there any troublesome paperwork or procedure involved in the procurement of such loans. Unsecured consolidated debts are easily available at all the banks and through market lenders by online or offline means. The only drawback is that the rate of interest is exorbitantly high as compared to the aggregate rate of interest what you are currently paying.
A debt crisis can be solved with various structural solutions and refinancing is one of them. Refinancing is basically taking a new loan with a lower rate of interest to pay an existing loan with a higher rate of interest. Although Debt consolidation is a subtype of Refinancing, it is significantly different than basic refinancing process. It involves consolidation of multiple business loans into one to solve several debt management problems.
Hopefully, you have now become familiar with the two types of debt consolidation loans. For more information on consolidation loans, you can check out our other blogs!
This is a guest post by Marina Thomas The credit score is the number that determines the credit position of a person. People who have taken credit and have maintained and are maintaining multiple credit accounts efficiently with timely repayments are known to have good scores which help them in getting new credit without too many hassles. However, if the credit score of a person is at the lower end then credit will be available but the options will increase severely, and the rate of interest will rise significantly. While calculating the credit score 10% of that score is dependent upon the credit balance that one possesses. Therefore it is understandable that if a credit score is to be improved, then the avenues and amount of available credit has to be increased.
If a person is interested in enhancing the credit score, then the first important thing that is needed is to have credit because without taking any credit one cannot hope to get a credit score. Many lending agencies might not agree to provide credit to a person who has no previous credit record. Therefore it is better to build one's credit report bit by bit by taking new loans in a sensible a calculated manner.
Acquiring a credit card, in the beginning, might seem a bit difficult for individuals who are not well acquainted with credit cards, but some companies specially formulate credit cards for first-time holders. These credit cards are also termed as starter credit cards. The starter cards usually offer a considerably low credit. For initiating the line of credit, it is a good way, to begin with, a relatively small amount of loan. However one should not choose just any kind of initial credit card because whenever it comes to credit building, it is important to remain alert and do a bit of research. The credit card should satisfy the condition of providing a small credit amount but also needs to have a relatively moderate rate of interest. High rate credit cards are to avoid as one needs to get used to the rhythm of credit taking and solving before moving on to the other areas of credit acquisition. In this regard, a person can also opt for a secured type of credit. These credit cards allow a person to invest a certain amount and this amount is converted into the credit that is provided to the cardholder. There is no need for any credit to forward an application for such credit cards and interest is also nil,this is a huge advantage for a person who is beginning to build credit. Hence there are ways to increase your credit score by 200 points, but no hasty steps should be taken with credit gaining as it will do more harm than good.
In the initial phase, it is very important to keep oneself grounded and control the urge of taking a huge credit from one or more sources. The sudden taking of massive credit can cause many problems like a high balance which will lower the score of a person. Therefore potential issues should be eliminated by keeping the risk appetite measured in the starting phase so that one gets to know about the credit field meticulously and builds a good credit before venturing into risky prospects of taking enormous credit.
Whenever credit is taken, it is understood that a loan has been acquired which has to be repaid according to the terms and conditions of the credit providing company.Accounts that are new should not be converted into debt accounts by being slack with the payment procedure. The presence of a loan will impact the 10% of the score, but if the same loan is not repaid, then it will negatively impact the score. Then the task will become two-fold one is to elevate the score and another is to solve the debt. Therefore being extremely diligent about all kinds of payments is very necessary. If payments are done timely from the very beginning, then the credit score will also move upwards quickly.
When a single source of credit is used when the score is not very heartening but when multiple credit avenues are being used, then it will positively impact the score. Small loans from banks or other sources might be a good idea for diversifying the credit taken. However, care should betaken so that too many loans are not taken in quick succession because that also means that the payments have to be made together which might get tricky and make a person land in a puddle of debt.
Multiple credit cards are used by many, and initial cards with low credit balances do not offer any discounts. Therefore when a person has learned to manage credit effective mannerly then choosing a better card that has multiple benefits is sensible however it is also important to check the balances or credit taken in each card regularly. Having a credit card is like having a financial responsibility to the credit taken should be measured and tracked so that repayments are done. The benefits offered by different credit cards should be applied sensibly so that the person is in a painful position. Therefore there are ways to make the credit accounts impact the credit score, but all steps that are taken for increasing credit should be taken with extreme caution and care.
Importance of Rank Tracking – How to Choose the Right Rank Tracking Tool?
While focusing full-fledged on SEO and marketing for the website, you would be concerned about how the site is ranking on the various keywords you are optimizing on. Earlier it was really easy to know keywords ranking through various rank tracker tools. But these days things are not that simple and easy. Many factors intervene rank tracking such that not all tools work great.
You have to be selective with your rank tracking tools for these reasons. Even before that, you must know why many rank tracking tools do not work after some time and why your website also may get penalized for using them. Then only, you would understand how to pick a good rank tracking tool to track the site rank on various keywords.
Rank tracking was simple in the early days of online marketing and SEO. That's because Google was still in the developing phase, and no other search engine in use also were that advanced in programming, to bar the tracking software and systems. Also in the earlier days of SEO, ranks were visible through plugins and tools and are the number one in search results mattered a lot, and highly. But things are different now. Now SEO experts and even the layman knows that it's not the number one position of the SERP that matter the highest, although it matters considerably.
Rather it's the amount of organic traffic you are getting, and then the conversion rate of that traffic, which mainly matters. And that is why, along with the search results page and rank, the other metrics like conversion rate, organic search traffic, etc. are considered to realize the status of the site against the target keyword.
Rank tracking still is important. A good rank ensures great visibility. And great visibility ensures organic traffic. When you get organic traffic, you get good conversion rates and leads both. Hence you get leads, and you can use them in whatever way you like to increase business and revenue. Hence, a good ranking is a great stepping stone to success in online marketing and e-commerce. But there again, knowing where you rank exactly based on the particular keyword has become much trickier. A normal rank tracker who used to work well in earlier days do not work now, and there are plenty of reasons for them, the main reason being the advancement in Google's platform and search algorithms. Google do not like rank tracking software and tools. Hence it has made its system such that rank tracking gets limited.
Why Google hates rank trackers?
Google hates rank tracking software for some solid reasons. Google is a search engine that gives results free of cost for common users. But Google has to generate income. And it draws all its revenues from sponsored ads and featured listings etc. That is why it does not like entertaining software, which would not click on its ads on a results page. The result is displayed for queries made by rank tracking software is wastage in the eyes of the search engine operators. That is why Google does not like rank tracking tools which utilize the page data and does not give anything in return to Google.
Google has designed APIs for rank tracker management. APIs are Application Programming Interfaces. Using these Google has effectively brought a bar or limitation in rank tracking. Only the developers can use the APIs to scrape rank data against keywords without getting through the general google interface, and that too for free. And there is a limitation to how many ranks data can be obtained. After this limit is over, or after a number of queries, Google does not offer any more data in the day. This limit makes rank tracking a headache using Google APIs. The way developers and rank tracking use to bypass this limitation are scraping of the rank data directly from the Google's search results pages.
There is a big downside of scraping rank data from Google. When you are scraping you get either tracked or barred. When multiple requests come from a rank tracker in Google search, then Google starts displaying a CAPTCHA to find out if the request is being made by a human or a computer program. Normally tracker tools would not pass the CAPTCHA test, and hence gets barred. Some tools can pass the CAPTCHA. In that case, their IP address gets tracked by Google. And when the multiple queries come from that IP address, then Google blocks that IP and the tool can no longer use that IP to scrape rank data through plain SERPs.
These three types of rank trackers can help you out without getting your IP blocked or website banned.
As because Google shows personalized search results based on how you are using the results the tracking tool must have features to bypass this personalization.
Ranks differ as per geographic location. And the tool must be able to show you rank results based on location.
You can get a vivid idea of how your marketing and SEO team is performing, based on the rank report you get. Only your tool for tracking must give you legit results that you may rely on. Hence this must be chosen carefully.
Just like anybody, you too may know that credit card debts are the high-interest loans. Most people have multiple credit cards from multiple issuers and use them at several instances, all of which may not be logical enough for proper reasoning. Therefore, it is easy and very common that people will have multiple credit card debts at any given point of time. Each of these debts carrying high interest will make the repayment aspect a bit confusing, complicated and even impossible at times.
If you too experience such a situation, you may have to seriously consider taking out a personal loan to consolidate these high-interest debts. Just like the credit cards, personal loans are also offered by several banks and credit unions. Using these personal loans prudently you can either consolidate or refinance your debt transforming it into a loan of lower interest and with a single fixed monthly payment.
There are several benefits of taking out a personal loan from a bank to consolidate your multiple credit card debts making a viable option but there are a few disadvantages of it as well that you should not overlook. Few specific types of personal loans may carry higher interest rates as compared to any traditional mortgage or auto loan.
It is therefore required for you to know the best ways to increase your chances to get fast approval of your application, should you decide to pursue a personal loan for debt consolidation.
First, you will need to decide on the loan type you want to be given the fact that there are primarily two main types of personal loans namely, secured and unsecured.
Secured loans are those for which you will need to pledge collateral security to get approved. This collateral security can be your car or your house and this collateral can be possessed by the lender in case you default in making your payment. However, the fact that you have to put up collateral for it, these secured loans usually have flexible and looser requirements for eligibility such as a low credit score, greater borrowing capacity, and a lower rate of interest.
Unsecured loans, on the other hand, do not require any collateral to avail. Ideally, the loan providers based on your ability to repay and creditworthiness to grant you such loans. Therefore, you will need a higher credit score to get approved and get a higher interest rate than secured loans.
To get fast approval to be sure about the loan type you may be eligible for before you apply.
The amount of money you want to borrow will also influence your loan approval process and speed. You must know how much to borrow before you apply for a personal loan. For this, you will first need to tally up the amount of the existing debts that you want to refinance or consolidate. Knowing your amount and personal loan requirements will help you avoid asking your lender for an exaggeratedly high amount.
When you want to deal with your debt you will need to act fast. Procrastination will not only make things complicated with regards to your debt but will also make your financial future bleak. It will also make things harder when it comes to processing your personal loan application down the line. You may even lose your confidence in taking it out and in your ability to pay it back.
Get two of your updated credit scores for free.
Before you apply for your personal loan make sure that you do everything possible to improve your credit score if you find it to be too low for fast approval.
However, you may also take help from Nationaldebtrelief.com if you are in ominous need of debt relief and do not have any time to wait for your credit score to improve.
Review the fine prints and consider all other options.
Lastly, create a checklist once you are ready to go ahead with your personal loan application. Include all the documentation that you will need to provide the loan provider. You may also have to meet your creditors as well as your employer and other people to collect all the documents required. Therefore, devote some time to know about the requirements and make sure that the documents are complete in all respects and authentic.
Remember, incomplete applications may result in an immediate rejection. Lastly, before you apply to remember that debt consolidation will make sense only in certain scenarios. Therefore, understand the total cost of the personal loan to the current debts to make it the right choice for you.

Canon strengthens the EOS line up with a new mirrorless and DSLR, delivering high-speed shooting and incredible resolution
Canon Europe today announces the launch of two high-speed, high resolution cameras – one DSLR and one mirrorless – designed to take enthusiast photographers to the next skill level. Canon has a camera to suit any user – EOS 90D is a fast and reliable DSLR, with a familiar, robust body perfect for sport and wildlife photographers. For everyday life, EOS M6 Mark II is a compact, yet powerful mirrorless delivering beautifully sharp images – for photographers on the move. Alongside the two new Canon RF lenses announced today, these high-quality, fast models build on Canon's popular EOS 80D DSLR and EOS M6 mirrorless cameras to provide a full choice for enthusiasts across the entire line-up.
With Canon's new EOS 90D and EOS M6 Mark II cameras, photographers can capture and share life's most fleeting moments. Both models are equipped with Canon's latest generation DIGIC 8 processor which achieves fast processing speed, responsiveness and the latest in photo and movie functionality. The lightning-quick electronic shutter speed of 1/16000 second is perfect for shooting momentary subject movements, giving photographers confidence in time-sensitive shooting scenarios. With this shutter speed the aperture can be opened even wider to create a greater depth of field even in ambient lighting.
Ideal for wildlife or sports photography, the EOS 90D shoots 10fps with autofocus tracking and 11fps in Live View. The optical viewfinder reduces lag time and enables the responsiveness needed to shoot wildlife, such as birds in flight, while an intelligent function gives complete visibility of the composition and shooting settings within the display. Where subjects are both quick and unpredictable, this fast frame rate and 58 L JPEG burst rate enables photographers to shoot continuously for a greater choice in imagery. EOS 90D also has an extended battery life with up to 1300 shots (CIPA standard) which allows enthusiasts to shoot all day, unencumbered by battery limitations.
The mirrorless model, EOS M6 Mark II, is capable of a 14fps continuous frame rate and staggering 30fps RAW burst both modes with autofocus tracking, producing a quick and compact model which guarantees enthusiasts can photograph even the unexpected. To give photographers the best chance of shooting spontaneous action, this latest mirrorless camera from Canon has UHS-II card support with a burst rate of 80 L JPEG. Additionally, focus bracketing in both models makes it easy to achieve an extended depth of field by combining multiple shots in DPP.
Unbeatable image quality
Delivering high quality, detailed images free from shake and artefacts, these new cameras leverage a new 32.5-megapixel APS-C CMOS sensor, which achieves full frame levels of resolution but with the additional benefit of reach provided by the APS-C format. Coupled with the DIGIC 8 processor, both newly launched models are enabled with the latest features from the EOS range which means photographers have greater reach, can crop further and take more detailed images than ever before. The processor also unlocks lens correction tools including the Digital Lens Optimiser and Diffraction Correction, which produce excellent images straight out of the camera. With incredible raw image quality and WiFi and Bluetooth capabilities, content creators can share images direct to social channels to create stunning, live content. For crisp, true to life photos which capture natural expressions and movements, Canon has incorporated a fast and accurate eye autofocus tracking solution in both cameras. In the EOS 90D, this works in collaboration with the 220,000-pixel RGB+IR metering sensor with Flicker Detection, for faithful face detection and greater control of overall exposure. This new sensor achieves greater resolution without compromising on low light performance, thanks to a high ISO of 100 – 25,600. Improving on the EOS M6, EOS M6 Mark II focuses at EV-5 when used with lenses with f/1.4 or larger aperture – to perform even in cloudy moonlit conditions, as well of course as within buildings or shade.
Future-proof content in 4K
EOS 90D and EOS M6 Mark II are versatile cameras for stills and videos, capable of 4K resolution video utilising the full angle view of the lens attached and fast, Full HD up to 120 fps giving enthusiasts greater options for shooting, such as slow motion, cropped or super high resolution. 4K in cropped mode is also available from the EOS 90D, giving content creators the same great image quality, but with a further reach. This means operators can shoot high quality video even from a distance – a feature which provides enthusiasts the ability to capture stunning film in situations where they are unable to get up close to the action – like on safari.
Canon's renowned Dual Pixel CMOS AF system is available in both Full HD and 4K video modes and offers a wide area coverage of (88 x 100%), producing smooth, high-performance focus tracking in movies for professional-looking footage. When capturing moving subjects this ensures sharp subjects and a blurred background, while eye tracking defines the eyes of subjects, for sharper, more compelling movies.
A microphone port gives vloggers and content creators alike the ability to use an external microphone to achieve clear, undistorted sound, while the EOS 90D also has a headphone port so content creators can have greater control over sound quality in videos while filming. This produces a good feed when the action is further away and minimises the amount of editing required in post-production as enthusiasts can manage sound levels as they record. For filming on the go, the portable EOS M6 Mark II has a handy tilting screen which ensures even selfie-style content is perfectly framed.
Greater control and handling
The ergonomic design of these models supports seamless and familiar handling to provide enhanced control for any style of photography. As the latest DSLR to join the EOS range, EOS 90D has a familiar, yet lighter body with a large grip for better handling and balance, particularly when using long lenses ideal for shooting sports or wildlife photography. With two multi-function dials – including one newly incorporated multi-controller, as found in the professional range on the rear of the camera – and customary EOS buttons, photography enthusiasts looking to enhance their skills can shoot instinctively and confidently with greater focus point selection and access to useful settings at their fingertips The EOS 90D is equipped with a number of customisable features which can be set to give a consistent look and feel to both photos and videos. Its 7.7cm Vari-Angle touch screen provides greater visibility of image composition whether shooting in high brightness or at a challenging angle.
The compact size of EOS M6 Mark II enables a point and shoot style of photography needed to capture spontaneous moments on the go. A dial with function, main dial, customisable autofocus/manual focus selection switch and autofocus-start button are intuitively positioned for improved responsiveness in fast-paced shooting scenarios. The detachable viewfinder is raised and centrally aligned to create space and intuitive comfort for an immersive shooting experience, while the tilt-screen offers more creative capture and unrestricted video capabilities.
Also launching today are two RF lenses – the RF 15-35mm F2.8L IS USM and RF 24-70mm F2.8L IS USM – expanding the pioneering lens line-up for the EOS R System. The EOS 90D is now available to pre-order from Canon's online store and both will be on general sale from September 2019.

EA Mobile continues free-to-play push with The Simpsons: Tapped Out
Cash for donuts
February 21st, 2012 - 12:07pm
By Jon Jordan, Contributing Editor
EA Mobile's been steadily getting into freemium games with titles such as Theme Park and The Sims FreePlayduring 2011.
Now it's going from something even more mass market with The Simpsons: Tapped Out.
The licence should ensure the launch is a success, although previous mobile Simpsons' games haven't always impressed in terms of their quality.
Hopefully, the company's new experience in the genre, not to mention acquisitions such as Bight Games, which developed the lucrative Trade Winds free-to-play game for Z2Live, means it will hit the target this time.
D'oh and donuts
As for the game itself - and no developer has been announced - it has you rebuilding Springfield following a Homer-induced nuclear explosion.
More playable characters will be unlocked as you level up, with donuts being the soft in-game currency used to buy items. There'll likely be a hard currency too, but that's not yet been revealed.
"We want this to be one of the biggest titles this year," Bernard Kim, senior vice president of global publishing for social and mobile for EA, told CNET.
"We've invested a lot. It's absolutely a top-tier development priority for us."
Due for release as a universal app for iPhone and iPad in March, an Android version will also be released, a couple of months later.

Rejoinder to the Call by Nelson Havi for the Return of the Death Penalty
We1 commend the Law Society of Kenya (LSK) which on Tuesday 23rd June 2020 under the brave leadership of the President Nelson Havi took lead in commemorating four years of the brutal triple murders of lawyer Willie Kimani, his client Josphat Mwenda and their taxi driver Joseph Muiruri. The three men were abducted on 23 June 2016, after leaving the Mavoko Law Courts where Willie Kimani was representing his client in a case against a police officer. The three were briefly held at an Administration Police Post and a week later, their bodies were discovered at the Ol Donyo Sabuk River in Machakos County.
After a public outcry and lawyer led demonstrations across the country against forced disappearances and extrajudicial killings, four Administration Police Officers; Fredrick Leliman, Stephen Cheburet, Sylvia Wanjiku, Leonard Mwangi and police informer Peter Ngungi were arrested and charged with the murder of the three victims.
Four years later, the murder case against the four is still ongoing. During the commemoration of the murders of Willie Kimani, Josphat Mwenda and Joseph Muiruri, the President of the LSK called upon the Judiciary and the Office of the Director of Public Prosecutions to expedite with the pending trial to its logical conclusion. He tweeted and also pointed out that, this was a particular case in which the LSK would be petitioning the President of the Republic of Kenya to sign the death warrants of the convicts in the event the event they will be handed capital punishment.
While the death penalty is still provided for in Kenya, the Supreme Court did render the mandatory nature in which it was coached prior to 17 December 2017 through the Muruatetu case to be unconstitutional. The import of the Muruatetu case is that moving forward, judicial officers can now exercise their discretion in sentencing when presiding over capital trials, where their hands were hitherto tied to hand down nothing short of the death sentence.
The Supreme Court while abolishing the mandatory death penalty in Kenya held that, in the absence of individualized consideration for offenders in a sentencing hearing, the mandatory death penalty violated constitutional provisions related to the right to a fair trial, the right to human dignity, the right to life and the right to equality. Moreover, the Court also found that the death penalty is "out of sync with the progressive Bill of Rights" in Kenya's 2010 Constitution and an affront to the rule of law. The Court also relied on global death penalty jurisprudence to find the mandatory death sentence "harsh, unjust and unfair."
It thus comes as a big shocking surprise for the President of the Law Society of Kenya, himself a crusader of human rights and the rule of law to call for the return of the death penalty, even if it will be just for the killers of Willie Kimani and his two compatriots, when the global trends are indicative of the world gravitating towards abolition of capital punishment.
Capital punishment is a barbaric form of punishment and there is no credible evidence that it deters crime any more effectively than imprisonment. It is irreversible besides being cruel and degrading, as there is no 'humane' way of carrying out executions. A keen observer of the remarks by the President of the LSK will similarly note that the call for the return of executions comes as way of using the death penalty as a tool for control and not justice. How unfortunate that those called upon to offer representation even in the worst of the worst criminal cases, would have a bias and a determination to allow the system to impose the death penalty.
We take note that the LSK is mandated to advise the government and the larger public in all matters relating to the administration of justice in Kenya. Accordingly, we take this opportunity to invite the Law Society of Kenya under the very brave leadership of President Nelson Havi to take a position on capital punishment. Such position would be one that reflects global abolitionist trends beyond the observance of moratoriums. We also welcome the building of a formal engagement with the LSK and other key stakeholders where within our province, we will strive to build the institutional capacity of the criminal justice system to avoid miscarriages of justice as much as possible during trial of capital offences. This, would entail investing in the least, trained members of the Bar who conduct capital trial proceedings.
As we remember Willie Kimani, Josphat Mwenda, Joseph Muiruri and all other victims of extrajudicial killings, calling for justice to be done, let us honour them but not with calling for more killings. The death penalty is a symptom of a culture of violence, not a solution to it. However, by working together while remaining true to our call of fidelity to justice and the rule of law, we know that we can end the death penalty not just at home, but in the Eastern Africa region, the continent and indeed everywhere in the world.

A comic novel published in 1749, The History of Tom Jones, a Foundling is generally regarded as the best work by English writer Henry Fielding. It has been acclaimed for its great comic gusto, vast gallery of colorful characters, and sharply contrasted scenes of high and low life in London and the provinces.
Tom Jones, like its predecessor, Joseph Andrews, is constructed around a romance plot. Squire Allworthy suspects that the infant whom he adopts and names Tom Jones is the illegitimate child of his servant Jenny Jones. When Tom is a young man, he falls in love with Sophia Western, his beautiful and virtuous neighbor (modeled on Fielding's first wife, Charlotte). In the end his true identity is revealed and he wins Sophia's hand. Numerous obstacles have to be overcome, however, and in the course of the action the various sets of characters pursue each other from one part of the country to another, giving Fielding an opportunity to paint an incomparably vivid picture of England in the mid-18th century. An Oscar-winning film adaptation of the novel was released in 1963.

Want to be notified of new releases in Quartz/wp-graphql-content-blocks?
chriszarate Correctly call action (fixes #3).
This WPGraphQL plugin returns a WordPress post's content as a shallow tree of blocks and allows for some limited validation and cleanup. This is helpful for rendering post content within component-based front-end ecosystems like React.
This plugin adds a GraphQL field called blocks to Post in WPGraphQL (and any other post types configured to appear in WPGraphQL).
The blocks field contains a list of the root-level blocks that comprise the post's content. Each block is a distinct HTML element, embeddable URL, shortcode, or Gutenberg block (beta!).
"innerHTML": "
Here is a list
"
When consuming this field, you can now easily iterate over the blocks and map them to components in your component library. No more dangerouslySetInnerHTMLing your entire post_content!
The name of the block. For HTML blocks, this is the uppercase version of the HTML tag name, e.g. P, UL, BLOCKQUOTE, TABLE etc. Shortcode and embed types are name-spaced with SHORTCODE_ and EMBED_ respectively., e.g. SHORTCODE_CAPTION, EMBED_INSTAGRAM, etc.
HTML block types are hardcoded, as are Gutenberg block types (for now). Embed types are determined by the handlers that have been registered in global $wp_embed->handlers and shortcodes are determined by the handlers registered with global $shortcode_tags. A complete list of permissible block names can seen by browsing the WPGraphQL schema.
You can filter the type definitions with graphql_blocks_definitions.
The suggested HTML tag name for the block. For HTML blocks, this is simply a lowercased version of the type field. For embeds and shortcodes, it will likely be null. This field is most useful for Gutenberg blocks, as a hint from the server for which tag to use when wrapping the innerHtml (see below).
The stringified inner content of the block. Can be passed into a React component using dangerouslySetInnerHTML, for example.
Note that the value of innerHtml is the stringified version of all the block's descendants after they have been parsed. This means that any invalid tags, attributes, etc. will have been stripped out.
Each item in the list is a name/value pair describing an attribute of the block. For HTML blocks, these are taken from the HTML attributes, e.g.
Note that this field will only contain valid attributes for the given Block, as defined in BlockDefinitions. Invalid attributes are stripped out during the parsing process (see How Parsing Works).
The connections field returns an array of objects that are connected to the block. For example, if you wanted to upload an image and associate it with a block, that image could be queried as a GraphQL connection here. The connections field will always be empty by default. Presumably there is some way to derive these connections from the block's attributes, but we have no way of knowing what that correspondence is. If you'd like to use this field, it's up to you to filter graphql_blocks_output and populate the connections array as you see fit.
A block is an atomic piece of content that comprises an article body. We define a block as being an HTML tag (like a paragraph, list, table, etc), a Gutenberg block, a text node (the textual content of a non-empty HTML element or shortcode), a shortcode (like a caption, gallery, or video), or an embed (an embeddable URL on its own line in the post content).
An HTML block is an HTML element (typically a block-level element) represented by its tag name. If an HTML tag's name is not included in BlockNameEnumType, it will be stripped from the tree. Additionally, at runtime it must meet the requirements specified in the block definitions in order to be considered valid.
Gutenberg blocks map very well to blocks, but do not have a server-side registration system. Like HTML blocks, we are forced to hardcode a list of core Gutenberg blocks. This list can be extended with graphql_blocks_definitions to add your own custom Gutenberg blocks.
For this reason, we descend into the innerHtml of a Gutenberg block to extract the tagName of the surrounding tag, then discard it, leaving just the true "inner" HTML of the block.
In the example above, this allows the innerHtml to be My Heading instead of
My Heading
. This is a much better situation for the components that implement this data.
Gutenberg blocks present a number of challenges and the spec is still evolving. Take care when using this plugin with Gutenberg blocks since there will likely be breaking changes ahead.
A shortcode block is a WordPress shortcode. Shortcode/embed blocks are returned untransformed: the parsing of shortcodes is the responsibility of the front-end consuming the GraphQL endpoint. Only the name of the shortcode, its attributes and any nested content of the shortcode are returned in the GraphQL response.
Shortcode block type names are prefixed with the SHORTCODE_ namespace by default.
An embed is a distinct block-type that represents WordPress' URL-to-markup embedding functionality. If WordPress recognizes a URL as an embed, this plugin will output it as an embed block.
Embed block type names are prefixed with the EMBED_ namespace by default.
Because neither shortcode or embed blocks are parsed, the markup for embedding the URL is not provided by the plugin.
We can specify validation requirements for individual blocks. This allows us to enforce certain rules about blocks that determine where they end up in the tree, what attributes they may have, and whether or not they should end up in the GraphQL response at all.
Block definitions (and the default definition from which all blocks extend) for blocks can be found in src/types/shared/BlockDefinitions. If you are interested in filtering the block definitions (via graphql_blocks_definitions) to override behavior or add your own block definitions, you should look over that file.
We permit
 tags to live at the root, but we do not enforce it (i.e. we don't want to hoist a
 tag out of a parent element) so we use this definition.
Now any  tag found at the root-level of the post HTML will be wrapped in a
 tag before being added to the tree. Additionally, if there is a target attribute, it will not appear in the attribute field.
The post content string is prepared for parsing (see Fields::prepare_html in src/data/Fields.php). This includes running the wpautop, wptexturize and convert_chars filters.
The prepared content string is loaded into a PHP DOMDocument) object. This allows us to recurse the HTML as a tree.
The DOMDocument object is passed into an HTMLBlock (src/parser/class-htmlblock.php) object. This begins the process of recursing the tree. Each child block is assigned a class depending on its type: HTMLBlock, TextBlock, EmbedBlock or ShortcodeBlock. Each block is responsible for validating itself against the Block Definitions (src/types/shared/BlockDefinitions.php) to determine whether it belongs in the tree or not.
Although the tree is recursed and validated to an infinite depth, the GraphQL type BlockType (src/types/BlockType.php) will stringify the tree below a depth of 1 for consumption in the GraphQL endpoint.

Then we would expect a query for the blocks that comprise the post to return the following.

We can also see the attributes for the shortcode and embed blocks by requesting the attributes field.

Festival Coverage, Interviews
IberoDocs Interview: Mar Felices
April 30, 2019 Jim Ross	Leave a comment
IberoDocs is half-way through the sixth edition of the festival. Mar Felices, the festival's director and co-founder spoke to me for the Cinetopia podcast about the festival, its history and current program, and the festival scene in Edinburgh. You can find full coverage of IberoDocs 2019 here.
Jim Ross: To begin with, tell us a little bit more about the festival's history and why you co-founded it
Mar Felices: When I first arrived in Edinburgh in 2012 my focus was on my own documentary project about my grandfather. I was looking for people involved in the world of documentaries. I became aware that although there was a rich and vibrant calendar of cultural events in Edinburgh, there was a gap in terms of both documentaries and Hispanic culture. One of the people I met was Mon – Xose Ramon Rivas – who was working at the Edinburgh International Film Festival, where we met, and we joined forces and shape IberoDocs together: him taking care of the logistic part of the festival and me taking care of the artistic side.
JR: How do you find the film festival scene in Edinburgh? It's very crowded, with a lot of them. Does that make it easier, because there is an energised audience familiar with events like it, or harder, because there are so many competing for attention?
MF: In terms of logistics, it can make scheduling tricky – in terms of venue booking or finding the right date for our events. However, having a lot of different organisations offering interesting programmes it is also very inspiring.
And on the other hand, I think is fantastic to have such an engaged and interested audience with their mind opened. I believe they appreciate that we are bringing many premieres to Scotland.
In fact, this crowded scene encourages us to be more innovative.
"I think is fantastic to have such an engaged and interested audience with their mind opened."
JR: You've worked with several other film festivals to put on events this year, particularly with screenings at the CCA in Glasgow, how did that come about?
MF: I remember the first year with the screening of KATCHKANIRACHMI, many people were making the journey to Edinburgh from Glasgow specifically to attend our programme. We found out because in the feedback forms we share with our audience there was this request to do the festival in Glasgow. We take audience feedback seriously, and this is why we are also running some events at CCA.
And in terms of collaborations with other film festivals why compete when you can collaborate?
There are many festivals that I admire and I think we are very lucky that we are collaborating this year with Take One Action, Document in Glasgow, but also Institutions like the Scottish Documentary Institute who have been a great support from the start, the Edinburgh College of Art, Edinburgh University – these collaborations have allowed us to reach a wider range of people. At the beginning, 70% of our audience were Spanish, however thanks to a network of mutual support with local organisations, we can see from our feedback forms that now over 70% of our audience are local.
JR: Obviously the focus of the festival is documentary, but you have a short film program in partnership with Edinburgh Short Film Festival that includes narrative shorts, and some films blend fictional or narrative elements into the real stories they are telling? Is there anything in particular you look for when you go beyond 'classical' documentary formats?
MF: Yes, well I am specialised in Creative Documentary Filmmaking. I find very interesting blending different formats. We have always included hybrids into our programme. But yes, this year we have pushed the boundaries a bit more.
"IberoDocs as a cultural platform embraces all kinds of art forms, from dance to music and photography. Our audiences tell us that this make their experience of the films richer and offers more of an insight into the cultures we focus on."
This year marks the first time that we have ever screened a purely fictional piece with YULI, which was screened at the Rose Theatre and was followed by a wonderful Q&A with Tamara from Take One Action and the film's screenwriter Paul Laverty. There were many reasons behind that. The director Iciar Bollain likes to work with non-actors, and the fact that the narrative is a biographical story of Carlos Acosta's journey made it important to include in our programme as a special event.
In relation to the Edinburgh Short Film Festival, out of the 8 films we're showing only 3 are purely fictional. Taking feedback from our "Doc and Wine", the fundraising event we do at Christmas, we discovered that the audience enjoyed a mixture of documentary and fiction.
JR: How did you come to the festival's theme this year? I saw THE KEYS TO MEMORY ahead of its screening on the 4th May, and it fits so beautifully within that and other films on the program I'm wondering what came first, the program or the theme?
MF: For me, intuition comes first. I am constantly watching trailers and requesting films to watch but also directors approach us offering their films to be considered. Then, I start selecting films and finding connections between them so the programme starts taking shape.
Regarding the themes, we always explore topics related to the 'immigrant journey', and represents a step towards starting a new life in a different culture. Previous themes were 'Integration', 'Boundaries', 'Empowerment'. This year we have chosen 'Memory and Identity', as we found that a common theme that ran through our selection was the process of revaluating identity through memory, or there is no identity without memory.
IberoDocs runs in Edinburgh and Glasgow throughout May. Find out more about their events here. You can follow our coverage here.
