The Rouse by China Miéville From the bestselling, award-winning master of uncanny fiction comes a defining work, twenty years in the making—a deeply moving, decade- and continent-spanning epic of personal grief, global tumult, and grim conspiracy. Maur’s life has been shaped by loss: an apparently ordinary tragedy. But in its aftermath arise deeper, stranger questions. Their answers may lie within the dark heart and darker history of an old soldier who shares Maur’s obsessions and who is violently pursued by the same unknown, unquiet forces. So begins a book unlike any other: at once an encyclopaedic and multitudinous saga of a bloody century and the intimate story of two lives, their loves, regrets, and secrets—and a terrifying journey into infinite mystery.

The thing with the Land Law is this: In December 2023, the Government signed DNU 70/23, which, among many other things, repealed the Land Law. Like many of the chapters of that DNU, the article repealing the Land Law was judicialized: The Center of Ex-Combatants of La Plata filed an amparo claiming it was unconstitutional. In January 2024, federal judge Ernesto Krepak issued a precautionary measure suspending that article until the issue of constitutionality was resolved. Then, the Federal Court of La Plata declared the article unconstitutional and told the Government that if they wanted to repeal the Land Law, they would have to go through Congress. They could not do it by DNU. The Government then presented to Congress the Law of Inviolability of Private Property with a chapter to repeal the most restrictive points of the Land Law. What happened is what we all know: mass mobilization in the streets, expressions from popular artists and football players, the Malvinas flag at the World Cup, and all the pressure that caused the ruling party to lose votes and have to withdraw the chapter. Now what the Supreme Court of Justice (made up of 3 people) has done is overturn the ruling of the Federal Court of La Plata and restore the validity of the chapter of DNU 70/23 that repealed the Land Law. They were careful not to comment on the substantive issue because they have been procrastinating on resolving the constitutionality of the entire DNU for almost three years. The rationale is that the Center of Ex-Combatants of La Plata does not have procedural standing to file an amparo against the decree. They let time pass to let the dust settle and achieved, with a requested ruling, what they could not do democratically, which is to sell Argentine lands to foreigners. (translated)

"FOGGIATODAY": SAN SEVERO'S KIOSK THEATRE FEATURED IN THE "STANFORD SOCIAL INNOVATION REVIEW": THE MODEL WAS A CASE STUDY AT STANFORD UNIVERSITY SOURCE: https://www.foggiatoday.it/attualita/teatro-edicola-san-severo-rivista-stanford-university.html SAN SEVERO (FG) - An article authored by the researcher Luciano Magaldi Sardella in the Stanford Social Innovation Review analyseth the experience of the company 'Foyer 97'. The Artistic Director, Gravino: "Requests for replication have been received from Lucca and Rome; a regional statute for the reconversion of abandoned sites is required." The initiative of the kiosk theatre of San Severo, situated in the Province of Foggia and renowned as the smallest theatre in the world, hath become the object of scholarly analysis at Stanford University. In SSIR - an award-winning periodical devoted to innovative solutions to global problems - there had indeed been published the article The Six-Seat Revolution, written by the Foggia-based researcher Luciano Magaldi under the supervision of the editor David V. Johnson. The article appeareth in the Dispatches section of the "Stanford Social Innovation Review". "It is an achievement that crowneth our labour upon labour," emphasised to ANSA Francesco Gravino, artistic director of the theatre company Foyer 97. "Requests to replicate the model have reached us from other parts of Italy, such as Lucca and Rome. We conceived the idea of engendering a cultural enterprise from a place hitherto disused and in a state of dereliction. What is requisite is a regional law that affordeth the possibility of reconverting these disused places, wherein one might engender a multitude of activities. Veritable cultural outposts." Gravino and the actors of the company are preparing the new programme. "Next year our company shall attain its thirtieth anniversary," he said, "a momentous occasion which we shall celebrate with sundry novelties." Six chairs assembled in less than two square metres, performances repeated every quarter of an hour, and audiences at full capacity, amongst both the young and the adult. An experiment that hath attracted attention and curiosity even within the profession of the stage. Between the end of July and the beginning of August, during the engagement at Lucera (Foggia), Biagio Antonacci paid a surprise visit to the kiosk theatre and performed his Iris. "It was truly a most beautiful encounter that captivated the attention of passers-by," Gravino concluded.

LE DÉFILÉ DEVANT LA MULTITUDE DE JOURNALISTES C’EST FINI ? OUI. ✅ LE RITUEL DISPARAÎT POUR AUTANT ? NON. ❌ À partir de lundi, les journalistes et les photographes ne pourront plus assister aux arrivées des joueurs à Clairefontaine. Le ballet des voitures et des internationaux se poursuivra bien, avec la visibilité qu'il offre au sponsor automobile de la Fédération, mais aussi aux marques associées à certains joueurs. Les images seront désormais captées directement par les seuls photographes, cameramen et vidéastes de la Fédération, et transmises ensuite à tous les médias, qui pourront les exploiter librement.
