Costa-Gavras (short for Konstantinos Gavras; Κωνσταντίνος Γαβράς; born 12 February 1933) is a Greek-French film director and producer, who lives and works in France. He is known for films with overt political themes, most famously the fast-paced thriller, Z (1969), but he has also made comedies. Most of his movies have been made in French; however, six were made in English: Missing (1982), Hannah K. (1983), Betrayed (1988), Music Box (1989), Mad City (1997) and Amen. (2002). He produces most of his films himself, through his production company K.G. Productions.

Costa-Gavras was born in Loutra Iraias (Λουτρά Ηραίας), Arcadia. His family spent the Second World War in a village in the Peloponnese, and moved to Athens after the war. His father had been a member of the Pro-Soviet branch of the Greek Resistance, and was imprisoned during the Greek Civil War. His father's Communist Party membership made it impossible for Costa-Gavras to attend university in Greece or to be granted a visa to the United States, so after high school he went to France, where he began studying law in 1951.[1]
In 1956, he left his university studies to study film at the French national film school, IDHEC. After film school, he apprenticed under Yves Allégret, and became an assistant director for Jean Giono and René Clair. After several further positions as first assistant director, he directed his first feature film, Compartiment Tueurs, in 1965.[2]
His 1967 film Shock Troops (Un homme de trop) was entered into the 5th Moscow International Film Festival.[3]
In Z (1969), an investigating judge, played by Jean-Louis Trintignant, tries to uncover the truth about the murder of a prominent leftist politician, played by Yves Montand, while government officials and the military attempt to cover up their roles. The film is a fictionalized account of the events surrounding the assassination of Greek politician Grigoris Lambrakis in 1963. It had additional resonance because, at the time of its release, Greece had been ruled for two years by the "Regime of the Colonels". Z won the Oscar for Best Foreign Language Film.[4]
Costa-Gavras and co-writer Edgar Award from the Mystery Writers of America for Best Film Screenplay. L'Aveu (The Confession, direction, 1970) follows the path of Artur London, a Czechoslovakian communist minister falsely arrested and tried for treason and espionage in the Slánský 'show trial' in 1952.
State of Siege (1973) takes place in Uruguay under a conservative government in the early 1970s. In a plot loosely based on the case of US police official and alleged torture expert Dan Mitrione, an American embassy official (played by Yves Montand) is kidnapped by the Tupamaros, a radical leftist urban guerilla group, which interrogates him in order to reveal the details of secret American support for repressive regimes in Latin America.
Missing, originally released in 1982 and based on the book The Execution Of Charles Horman, concerns an American journalist, Charles Horman (acted out in the film by John Shea), who disappeared in the bloody coup led by General Augusto Pinochet in Chile and backed by the United States in 1973. Horman's father, played by Jack Lemmon, and wife, played by Sissy Spacek, search in vain to determine his fate. Nathaniel Davis, US ambassador to Chile from 1971–1973, a version of whose character had been portrayed in the movie (under a different name), filed a US$150 million libel suit, Davis v. Costa-Gavras, 619 F. Supp. 1372 (1985), against the studio and the director, which was eventually dismissed. The film won an Oscar for Best Screenplay Adaptation and the Palme d'Or at the Cannes Film Festival.
Betrayed (1988), roughly based upon the terrorist activities of American neo-Nazi and white supremacist Robert Mathews and his group The Order.
In Music Box (1989), a respected Hungarian immigrant (Armin Mueller-Stahl) is accused of having commanded an Anti-Semitic death squad during World War II. His daughter, a Chicago defense attorney played by Jessica Lange, agrees to defend him at his denaturalization hearing. The film is inspired by the arrest and trial of Ukrainian immigrant John Demjanjuk and screenwriter Joe Eszterhas' realization that his father had been a member of the Hungarian Arrow Cross Party. The film won the Golden Bear at the 40th Berlin International Film Festival.[5]
La Petite Apocalypse (1993) was entered into the 43rd Berlin International Film Festival.[6]
Amen. (2003), was based in part on the highly controversial 1963 play, Der Stellvertreter. Ein christliches Trauerspiel (The Deputy, a Christian Tragedy), by Rolf Hochhuth. The movie alleges that Pope Pius XII was aware of the plight of the Jews in Nazi concentration camps during World War II, but failed to take public action to publicize or condemn the Holocaust. Apologists for the Vatican's role during World War II have cited Pope Pius XII's 1942 Christmas address as evidence that the Papacy and the Roman Catholic establishment did indeed condemn Nazi genocide but the relevant passage (a single short paragraph) in this address is so vague, obfuscated and non-specific as to offer little support for this claim. These issues continue to be disputed, with the Vatican thus far declining to open to historians all of its archives relating to the extent of the Pope's knowledge during World War II.
Political-commercial film
Costa-Gavras is known for merging controversial political issues with the entertainment value of commercial cinema. Law and justice, oppression, legal/illegal violence, and torture are common subjects in his work, especially relevant to his earlier films. Costa-Gavras is an expert of the "statement" picture. In most cases, the targets of Costa-Gavras's work have been right-of-center movements and regimes, including Greek conservatives in and out of the military in Z, and right-wing dictatorships that ruled much of Latin America during the height of the Cold War, as in State of Siege and Missing.
In a broader sense, this emphasis continues with Amen. given its focus on the conservative leadership of the Catholic Church during the 1940s. In this political context, L'Aveu (The Confession) provides the exception, dealing as it does with oppression on the part of a Communist regime during the Stalinist period.
Form and style
Costa-Gavras has brought attention to international issues, some urgent, others merely problematic, and he has done this in the tradition of cinematic story-telling. Z (1969), one of his most well-known works, is an account of the undermining in the 1960s of democratic government in Greece, his homeland and place of birth. The format, however, is a mystery-thriller combination that transforms an uncomfortable history into a fast-paced story. This is a clear example of how he pours politics into plot, "bringing epic conflicts into the sort of personal conflicts we are accustomed to seeing on screen."
His accounts of corruption propagated, in their essence, by European and American powers (Z, State of Siege and Missing) highlight problems buried deep in the structures of these societies, problems which he deems not everyone is comfortable addressing. The approach he adopted in L'Aveu also "subtly invited the audience to a critical look focused on structural issues, delving this time into the opposite Communist bloc."
Other honours
Costa-Gavras has received an honorary doctorate from School of Film Studies at the University of Thessaloniki in Greece. He was president of the Cinémathèque Française from 1982 to 1987, and again since 2007.
He was interviewed extensively by The Times cultural correspondent Melinda Camber Porter and was featured prominently in her book Through Parisian Eyes: Reflections on Contemporary French Arts and Culture (1993, Da Capo Press).
He received the Magritte Honorary Award at the 3rd Magritte Awards.[7]
He is a first cousin of recording artist Jimmie Spheeris, filmmaker Penelope Spheeris, and musician Chris Spheeris.[8] His daughter Julie Gavras and his son Romain Gavras are also filmmakers. He is a distant relative of actor Jordan Gavaris who is best known for Orphan Black and Jasper Bartlett on the action/adventure series Unnatural History for Cartoon Network and in his latest film, The Sea of Trees.

Well, color that is. From the day we first looked our house I've been less than thrilled with the color. It was white. White…with blue trim and a blue roof. It stuck out. And not in a good way. But, I seem to be the only one that had a problem with it. Whenever i mentioned the bright blue roof to people they would look at me like I was crazy. Yes, I know I am crazy but that's not the point. The roof was just so BLUE. And the house…so WHITE.
But, all that has changed. The roof is still very blue (apparently painting a metal roof is discouraged). But the house is now a dark gray with white trim. It looks clean and crisp. I really do love white trim on a dark background.


Last year she hugged the Pope. Earlier this week she spoke in front of hundreds at the United States Supreme Court. And now she's made her Tribeca Film Festival debut.
"Free Like The Birds," a new short film from director Paola Mendoza in collaboration with FWD.us and We are mitú, introduces us to six-year-old Sophie Cruz, her little sister, and her parents, both of whom would be eligible for DAPA.
We've all come to know Sophie as a fierce activist, but this must-see short film delves into the story of why Sophie started fighting in the first place — fear of being separated from her parents because of deportation.
As the justices of the Supreme Court conference today to make their decision on United States vs. Texas — a decision is expected some time in late June — Sophie's story is an important reminder of the human lives at stake.

1. Old Age protection. All old aged persons (men and women), widows and physically/challenged persons, not under a formal social security cover, should be provided with a pension which is at the level of half of the national minimum wage. The age of eligibility for pension must be revised to 50 years for women and 55 years for men in the informal sector. Within this, special relaxation must be made for the particularly vulnerable workers in various occupations and social groups.
2. Health & Maternity. The universal health package should be made available through the public health system and should cover OPD and Diagnostics. Women must be unconditionally entitled to a maternity benefit for nine months (3 months before delivery and 6 months after delivery) at an amount not less than half the minimum wage.
3. Life and Disability cover: Workers must be provided an insurance of Rs 200,000 for death by natural causes and Rs 500,000 for death due to accidents. This should be along the lines of the provisions of the Construction Workers Welfare Board.
1. Ensure, within six months, that all informal workers are provided with ID cards for social security which should be solely based on self-declaration. Such registrations should not use biometric identification systems. Also this must be independent of all existing identification cards, such as Aadhar and U-WIN. The union budget must bear complete fiscal responsibility for this process.
2. A single Ministry should be created which would responsible for the provision and implementation of social security. All necessary funds for the programmers should be transferred to the Unorganized Workers Social Security Fund.
3. Amendments should be made to the Unorganized Workers Social Security Act (UWSSA) 2008 to make the provision of universal social security schemes rights based and with universal coverage. Portability must be ensured.
4. The creation of the National and State Social Security Boards should be mandatory under the Act and should be done within six months. The Boards should be given the necessary powers and should not be only advisory. Workers' Facilitation Centers should be set up as mandated by the Act.
9. Increase the amount of marriage supported by OSBOCWWB to INR One lakhs.
Finally, we also demand that the government should provide all necessary financial and administrative support for the implementation of the MGNREGA and the NFSA which will help to create a healthy and productive population, and also increase the productive asset base of the rural areas.

The Disturbing Truth about Cow's Milk and Your Health
by Joseph Keon
North Americans are some of the least healthy people on Earth. Despite advanced medical care and one of the highest standards of living in the world, one in three Americans will be diagnosed with cancer in their lifetime and 50% of US children are overweight.
This crisis in personal health is largely the result of chronically poor dietary and lifestyle choices. In Whitewash, Joseph Keon unveils how North Americans unwittingly sabotage their health every day by drinking milk, and shows that our obsession with calcium is unwarranted.
Citing scientific literature, Whitewash builds an unassailable case that not only is milk unnecessary for human health; its inclusion in the diet may increase the risk of serious diseases including:
prostate, breast, and ovarian cancers
Crohn's disease.
Many of America's dairy herds contain sick and immunocompromised animals whose tainted milk regularly makes it to market. Cow's milk is also a sink for environmental contaminants, and has been found to contain traces of pesticides, dioxins, PCBs, rocket fuel, and even radioactive isotopes.
Whitewash offers a completely fresh, candid and comprehensively documented look behind dairy's deceptively green pastures, and gives readers a hopeful picture of life after milk.
A wellness consultant, nutrition and fitness expert for over 25 years, Joseph Keon is considered a leading authority on public health and is the author of three books, including Whole Health: The Guide to Wellness of Body and Mind and The Truth about Breast Cancer: A Seven-Step Prevention Plan.

Petro Oleksiyovych Poroshenko, the fifth and current President of Ukraine.
The EU's Moscow envoy, Markus Ederer, has issued a personal demand to Russia's deputy foreign minister that the Kremlin immediately and unconditionally release the crewmen. Meanwhile, the U.S. Special envoy for Ukraine, Kurt Volker, has warned that Russia may face fresh sanctions from both Washington and Brussels if it doesn't comply, vindicating the demands made by both Denmark and the Czech Republic.
But so far, Russia has paid little heed to the Western demands. In fact, Moscow has actually extended the sailors' pre-trial detention, and told Ederer that the EU should focus its attentions elsewhere. This intransigence has only fuelled concerns that Vladimir Putin is preparing a fresh offensive against Ukraine to coincide with the country's presidential elections, which may represent his last hope of stopping Kiev drifting even further away from Moscow under pro-EU President Petro Poroshenko.
Putin has been hassling Ukraine ever since Poroshenko took over in 2014, following the revolution which ousted the Russophile Viktor Yanukovych. Moscow has spent the past five years backing an insurgency by pro-Russian separatists in the Donbass region, despite economic sanctions from the U.S. and EU which, according to some estimates, have already drained the Kremlin's coffers of an estimated €150 billion.
But now, Poroshenko believes Russia is ready to escalate its hostility and launch a "full-scale war" to bring Ukraine to heel. He points to the fact that Russia has used the Kerch Strait as a pretext for further aggression, moving to take full control of the surrounding waters – despite a 2003 treaty which established Ukraine's joint control – and flooding them with military vessels and submarines. To compound these fears, various satellite images show scores of troops, tanks and missile launchers being arrayed along the Ukrainian border. According to Poroshenko, 80,000 soldiers are waiting to move against his country.
Yet the Ukrainian premier remains defiant. He demands that Russia respect "our right to go our own way" down a path which, he says, leads away from Moscow and towards Brussels. Russia's intention, he adds, is to divide and rule, to "split us into parts [and] easily swallow us," but the "national idea", which is guiding Ukraine into the arms of both the EU and NATO, will ultimately prove too strong.
For Putin, this is a nightmare scenario. He's built his political career on pledges to make Russia great again following the collapse of the Soviet Union. Yet now, he faces the prospect of one of Moscow's closest neighbours, with which it has a history of close cultural links, breaking away forever.
But now, Poroshenko faces a battle for re-election. And despite his bold promise to bid for EU membership in 2024, he's trailing in the polls. His challenger? Veteran oligarch Yulia Tymoshenko, who has served two terms as Ukraine's prime minister and is now campaigning on a populist ticket, promising to reverse Poroshenko's reforms – which, according to some Ukrainians, aren't moving quickly enough – and implement populist measures, such as raising wages and pensions for ordinary people.
Echoing her opponent, Tymoshenko has promised to prioritize EU and NATO membership, and reclaim all territories recently lost to Russia. But her track record provides grounds for scepticism. She has regularly launched scathing attacks against Ukraine's reformist parties, despite the endorsement they have secured from the EU. More worrying still are her ties to Moscow; a native Russian-speaker, she has happily aligned herself with the Kremlin in the past, notably in 2008 when she conspired with Putin to oust then-president Viktor Yushchenko, her former revolutionary comrade. She's also apologized for Russian aggression in Georgia and, most infamously of all, negotiated a gas deal which was so favourable to Moscow that she ended up being jailed for it.
Will Russia take this chance, or will Poroshenko beat Putin back? The polling suggests that, at present, it's too close to call. But, given the strategic and historical significance of Ukraine, we can be certain that Putin will turn the election into a new battleground, and mount a concerted campaign of intimidation to swing it his way. The EU may think it can pressure Moscow to relent, but all it will achieve is to make the Kremlin strongman more determined.

University founded to give free education to women whose countries deny it
Published January 10, 2023 at 12:40 PM CST
Afghan university students chant slogans and hold placards during a protest against the ban on university education for women. (Arshad Butt/AP)
For Afghan women, the list of prohibitions is growing: Severe restrictions on working, no going to parks or gyms, no travel unaccompanied by male relatives, head coverings and — perhaps most painfully — no education beyond 6th grade, ending any opportunity for girls and women to develop careers and financial independence.
Kamal Ahmad is among those trying to change that for at least some Afghan women, as well as other women facing educational oppression in other countries. Ahmad is co-founder of the Asian University for Women in Bangladesh which offers full scholarships to women whose countries restrict higher education. It currently enrolls about 1,000 students representing 35 ethnicities with 350 from Afghanistan.
Here & Now's Robin Young talks to Ahmad and trauma psychiatrist Dr. Anne Hallward who helps counsel the women.

With the TYCOON (LTF 2-3) we were able to set a standard within the segment of serial high performance wings. The wing is known for its high performance potential, combined with a manageable behaviour after collapses.
With the TRITON we wanted to continue this path and go a step further. The development was influenced significantly by our competition wing, the TRITON X. But the aims for those two gliders are quite different. So the TRITON is a completely separate construction.
One main issue at the beginning of development was an improvement of the handling characteristics over the TYCOON. We wanted to achieve an agile wing, with easy turning behaviour. Furthermore we wanted to turn our attention to easily manageable collapse behaviour, because if a pilot is overburdened by a wings reaction, he won't be able to use the full performance potential, especially in difficult conditions.
Of course we wanted a considerable performance improvement, especially in accelerated flight, to meet the needs of ambitious XC-pilots.
During development we tried many prototypes with quite different concepts. We also worked with a radical concept with only three suspension levels (A, B, C) and a specially adapted airfoil. The performance was very promising but the reactions to collapses were too demanding for a certified performance glider. A few prototypes later we finally managed to get the performance of the three-line proto on a much higher safety level and better handling characteristics with 4 suspension levels.
Anyone who expects a tough "high performance" handling characteristic will be surprised how playful and easy the wing can be piloted. With small brake inputs the TRITON can be thermalled very precisely, no matter how wide or narrow, flat or steep the glider is flown.
Advanced pilots will feel comfortable immediately and will therefore be able to use the full potential of the wing even in difficult conditions. The TRITON shows its handling strength best in narrow and strong thermals. It is surprisingly easy to bank up any time towards the centre of the thermals core.
But the TRITON is at its most impressive when dealing with flying accelerated through turbulent air. The wing is very stable and track adherent with an outstanding glide performance. The accelerator can be operated easily which allows effective correction of pitch movements with the speed bar, as well as flying accelerated for a long time without fatigue. The wings feedback stays precise during accelerated flight so threatening collapses can be foreseen and prevented.
Outstanding performance data doesn't make much sense if the pilot is overburdened in demanding conditions with the handling characteristics or with the wings reactions to collapses. That's why we avoided sacrificing easy manageable flying characteristics for the maximum of glide performance.
Besides reaction to collapses, we think that precise handling characteristics are an important issue for safety as well: A wing, which can be flown exactly like the pilot wants, is a lot safer, than a glider, that can't be flown precisely – especially for skilled pilots.
The other issue is of course the collapse behaviour. The TRITON is characterised by a very stable wing. Especially the centre of the wing hardly collapses. But of course, big collapses can occur in very turbulent conditions. The TRITON can be stabilised quite easy with a dosed brake input and the collapsed side reopens fast. Also big frontal collapses open fast and certain with a little brake input. The TRITON doesn't tend to have cravattes after collapses. But in this glider segment with such a high aspect ratio, cravattes can happen after big collapses, however, learning the full stall recovery method from cravattes is recommended when flying this level of wing.
In XC flying it is mainly the accelerated glide performance in turbulent air, which counts. We followed new paths in terms of airfoil and sail tension to maximise this performance characteristic. The result is a considerable higher maximum speed than on the TYCOON with clearly higher glide ratio in accelerated flight in calm air.
In turbulent conditions the performance advantage for the TRITON is even bigger.
Due to the precise handling characteristics the climb ability of the TRITON is very good – especially in demanding conditions.
Higher wing curve and shorter lines: This leads to higher sail tension as well as better and more direct handling characteristic in turns.
Airfoil: With a new airfoil we could combine excellent performance with managable collapse behaviour.
Integrated vector band: Like on the FACTOR and TRITON X we use an integrated vector band on the bottom sail at the cell openings to maximise the dimensional stability in this critical area.
Less line radius: Because of the shorter distance between pilot and canopy, the handling of the wing is more direct and the pitching movement in rough air is reduced.
Adapted sail tension: We made a lot of effort to maximise the accelerated flight performance. The sail tension has proven to be very important for this issue to avoid the deforming of the wing.
Suspension concept: 3 stem lines with a C/D fork in the top cascade.
The performance of the TRITON could only be found on competition wings a short time ago. Now the same performance can be used with a playful handling and a relaxing safety potential.
The TRITON opens up new vistas for advanced cross country pilots because of the high performance potential combined with a safety level which is remarkable in this glider segment.

Another short term decision which came back to haunt them as they lease the ground floor and yes you have guessed it the rent costs is contributory to the current situation including the huge impact of the Internet. Watch out it will be bank branches next!!!
I have a feeling of déjà vue! I have lived in Plymouth since 1965, and the main post office, here, will shortly move into W H Smith's. I went in and out of Maidenhead's PO so often - usually in school uniform, having walked a few hundred yards from Maidenhead Grammar School for Girls at the bottom of Castle Hill. I wonder what will become of the building in Maidenhead High Street when the Post Office sell the property? And I hope that the post box gets a coat of red paint before it moves outside W H Smith's!


Raphael, our own little mecca in this vast country of India. On arrival, we settled into our accommodation, had a tour of the grounds, meeting a few of the carers, teachers and residents. We then ventured out to the local shop for supplies, afterwards enjoying a vegetarian tea back at Raphael. Power went out, apparently that happens a lot. It's India.
You wouldn't be in India if you weren't having trouble with the internet, but also having a wonderful time … riding in crazy Tuk Tuks, being stared at by the locals… (of course we say hello), eating dahl and vegetarian food, monkeys dancing on our roof, we hope our drying washing doesn't go missing. Spending time with wonderful people in an amazing different country … everyone in Australia should experience this.
Time spent at Raphael, what can we say…. what an inspirational place, full of wonderful people and the most special children. It is very humbling to be welcomed with open arms, love and lots of affection. In the classroom, having learnt a few names and gestures, communication was difficult but we seemed to manage. The kids just loved us and it was very easy to get some favourites. We looked forward to Diwali and its celebrations. Weekends we were off to discover our surrounding area, going to Missouri and Rishikesh.
On Diwali we were in our room and the noise outside was deafening, we could have been in a war zone and we would have had no clue. The fireworks were continuous and loud. We had a lovely evening visiting Ava Vihar and trying tasty Indian treats and watching the residents have some fireworks of their own. We were included in celebrations and anointed with an Indian mark. A very special evening. Some school days we needed three hands …. Mayank, Yudo and Munta all wanting to hold our hands – it is wonderful that these young adults felt a bond with us. They were so happy to see each of us every morning. All too quickly it was time to say goodbye. Raphael was a wonderful experience made all the richer by the other amazing Volunteers, but infinitely by all of the Residents, Staff and Special People of Raphael we had the chance to share the experience with. These precious memories will stay with us.
