The “incompetence” of Defence Minister Angie Motshekga and the “competence” of impeached Judge John Hlope are trending topics. In this interview, Neil De Beer, the President of the United Independent Movement, warns: “If you don't listen to what your people say, you are going to fall on your own sword. So when the head of the Navy, when the Army and the Air Force are screaming and telling you, we are the people in the command structure, but you don't listen, or you don't have the competency to understand what they are saying to you, then what do you get?”  De Beer also analyses the legal battle led by Advocate Dali Mpofu for MKP MP and impeached Judge John Hlope to take up his position on the Judicial Services Commission. “Mr. Pomp and Ceremony, Dali Mpofu, getting up again. Seems like he is now the Legal Mind for the Revolutionary. Their own little advocate, Ché Guevera…And I think this case is a showcase of where we as a country are going to have an outcome if we choose people that have integrity or not.”

On this episode we sit down with Alicia Guevera, the first female identifying CEO of Big Brother Big Sister NYC. Alicia shares stories about her Cuban heritage, growing up in the BX, and her love for hip hop. From a young age, her family taught her to love her community, and the importance of giving back. All of this led her to the work that she is doing now with BBBS NYC, and specifically their Be Bronx Be Big campaign. This is a powerful episode, and it reminds you to Love Yourz!

No Right to UM Coverage if You are not an Insured WRIT PRACTICE OFTEN UNSUCCESSFUL BUT NOT ALWAYS The Louisiana Court of Appeals was asked to do what it normally would not do: determine if the trial court erred in denying a motion for summary judgment filed by Employers Mutual Casualty Company ("Employers Mutual"). In Lee Mallahan, III v.  Employers Mutual Casualty Co., et al, No. 55,136-CW, Court of Appeals of Louisiana, Second Circuit (September 27, 2023) Employers received its request. FACTS On June 1, 2020, Erick Guevara ("Guevara"), drove to Mallahan's house who was standing in the driveway picking up worms from the pavement and throwing them into the grass, only to strike Mallahan with Guevera's truck. Mallahan alleged the pickup truck knocked him into the air and caused him to lose consciousness. Mallahan sued on April 21, 2021 and named as defendants Guevera and Employers Mutual. As the managing member and an employee of Tadpole, LLC ("Tadpole"), Mallahan alleged that Employers Mutual provided "insurance coverage, excess coverage, umbrella coverage, or other coverage" for Mallahan's damages. Employers Mutual filed a motion for summary judgment and urged no uninsured/underinsured ("UM") coverage existed for Mallahan's injuries under the terms of the commercial auto policy or the commercial umbrella policy issued to Tadpole. The trial court ordered that Mallahan raised genuine issues of material fact and denied the motion. Employers Mutual Sought a writ from the Court of Appeals to order the trial court to grant its motion for summary judgment. DISCUSSION Employers Mutual urged that, because it made a showing that Mallahan was not an insured under the policies issued to Tadpole there was no genuine issue of material fact to preclude the granting of summary judgment. A genuine issue is one about which reasonable people could disagree.  A material fact is one that potentially ensures or precludes recovery, affects the ultimate success of the litigant, or determines the outcome of the dispute. Because it is the applicable substantive law that determines materiality, whether a particular fact in dispute is material for summary judgment purposes can be seen only in light of the substantive law applicable to the case. Summary judgment declaring a lack of coverage under an insurance policy may not be rendered unless there is no reasonable interpretation of the policy, when applied to the undisputed material facts shown by the evidence supporting the motion, under which coverage could be afforded. --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/barry-zalma/support

El doctor Gilberto Guevara asegura que es inaceptable que el presidente muestre su verdadero rostro con la educación. "El populismo presidencial no tenía ideología, por primera vez hay una expresión concreta de la ideología de López Obrador y se da en la educación. Es un absurdo pedagógico y al mismo tiempo es un planteamiento de dogmas, fanatismo y de políticas del sentido más vulgar”.

Video animation by: Big Flowers Intro/Outro beat by: BLOODBLIXING The Hook (0:21). The Interview (1:30). In today's political climate, music that speaks to real issues is something I gravitate to more than ever. If you add on wildly creative music to back said real issues, you've got me hooked. That's exactly what we have with today's guest on the show, Ghais Guevara. Ghais is a Philly rapper who is unapologetic about his strong communist beliefs, who's music has quickly achieved strong critical acclaim this year (from the likes of NPR, The Needle Drop, and more), with the release of his impressive new album There Will Be No Super-Slave. Listen on and get to know an artist you will surely be hearing about for years to come. Ghais speaks to how it's felt receiving such widespread critical acclaim from his latest album, There Will Be No Super-Slave (1:59). Ghais explains how he developed his political consciousness growing up (4:30). Ghais speaks on if the label of “communist rapper” bothers him, or pigeonholes him in his career (10:09). Ghais elaborates on his critiques of the Nordic political model, as it relates to his track off of BlackBolshevik, “F*** the Nordic Model“ (12:58). Ghais gives his thoughts on the growing trend of pretentious leftists and academics that often alienate folks with their flowery vocabulary and narcissism (16:50). Ghais illustrates how he developed his lyrical craft (22:31). Ghais details what the main purpose was for his fiercely political There Will Be No Super-Slave (26:30). Ghais describes his key musical influences, and the sound he was going for on There Will Be No Super-Slave (28:44). Ghais elaborates on a compromising and settling, as it relates to the creation of There Will Be No Super-Slave (34:37). Ghais details what to expect with his new FBFC mixtape (39:46). Ghais gives a sneak peak to what we can expect with his next album (44:43). Ghais names some dream collaborations of his (48:43).

Full episode here: https://www.patreon.com/posts/che-guevera-on-53079523 We look at the history of the Cuban revolution through Che Guevera's essay " Socialism and man in Cuba", wherein Che theorizes how to create the new man and woman as communism is built in Cuba. Our discussion touches on the role of love and leadership in communist revolution and governance. The essay: https://www.marxists.org/archive/guevara/1965/03/man-socialism.htm

Pour comprendre l'origine de ce surnom, il faut savoir que Guevera était perçu comme un « gaucho » (une sorte de cow-boy souvent associé, par cliché, à l'Argentine), lorsqu'il se rend dans le reste de l'Amérique latine... See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

In episode 8 of the Bally Alley Astrocast, Paul, Michael and I review the 4K Blast Droids cartridge that Esoterica released in 1983. This game was written by Dan Drescher, and J.P. Curran. We also review the BASIC game Haunted House released by New Image in 1981. Paul and I discuss the contents and programs included in the August and September 1979 issues of the Arcadian newsletter. We also read feedback from Arcadian readers that sent letters and postcards to Bob Fabris concerning the July 1979 survey question that asked if users would purchase a third-party keyboard and RAM upgrade. Lastly, we cover about ten letters that cover general topics that were sent to the Arcadian from late July to September 1979.

Haunted House by New Image Haunted House - "AstroBASIC" 2000-Baud version. Haunted House Bally BASIC Instructions - These are the program instructions and BASIC listings for New Image's Haunted House. This game is very unusual because it is made up of nine different loads, each of which is a separate BASIC program. Haunted House "AstroBASIC" Instructions Treasures of Cathy ("AstroBASIC" Program) - This programs, by John Collins, seems like a fairly complex dungeon-crawler type game. The Crown of Zeus by Todd Johnson - This game is probably the most RPG-like game on the Astrocade. It is for AstroBASIC only. It takes you to a dark decaying castle in the evil land of Sorom. You've been asked, as the best warrior in the land of Beekum, to retrieve the Crown of Zeus which the Scromites have stolen. The crown, when worn, gives the wearer the awesome ability to cause anything he or she wishes to vanish. Apparently the Scromites have not yet discovered the crown's powers. But as you hid in the forest outside the castle, you saw a troop of orcs from the warring land of Machor slip in through the front gate. They surely know the power of the crown and will have to be dealt with... Arcadian Newsletter Arcadian 1, no. 9 (Aug. 18, 1979): 69-76. - The ninth issue of the Arcadian newsletter. Arcadian 1, no. 10 (Sep. 31, 1979): 77-84. - The tenth issue of the Arcadian newsletter. Arcadian 1, no. 10a (Sep. 31, 1979): 80a. - A supplemental page to the tenth issue of the Arcadian newsletter. TV Output Notes by Marc Calson (possibly a misspelling of Mark Carlson). - The four pages of this document were created using the output of a short 10-line, BASIC program. Whoever sent this document to Bob methodically noted down four sets of numbers for each ASCII character. I can't say that I understand the listed decimal number information, but it seems to nicely supplement the August 1979 issue of the Arcadian's music coverage from Robert Hood (American Concert Frequencies) and the second part of Chuck Thomka's music tutorial, The Music Synthesizer. Hit the Pedestrian by Sebree's Computing (Timothy Hays) - This is a hand-written type-in program listing for Bally BASIC. Typed instructions are included. This program has not be digitally archived. Pictures of the Viper RAM Expansion - This hardware was released by Alternative Engineering. Pictures of the Keyboard for the Viper RAM Expansion Unit Aldo Trilogy by Dave and Benjamin Ibach - Three PC shareware titles for DOS released 1987-1991. These games do not run on the Astrocade. These games will run well under Windows when using a program called DOSBox (an emulator, of sorts). The games included are: Aldo's Adventure, Aldo Again, and Aldo's Assault. While these games won't run on the Astrocade, they do give a continued history of what Dave Ibach did (with his son) after he moved on from the Astrocade. The main character in this series of one-screen platform games looks suspiciously like someone named...Mario. Give these games a try-- you'll like 'em. The Bit Fidder's Corner by Andy Guevara - The Bit Fiddler's Corner is an Astrocade machine language programming tutorial that ran as a series of serialized articles in the Arcadian newsletter in 1983 and 1984. The author, Andy Guevara, programmed the Machine Language Manager cartridge for the Bally Arcade/Astrocade. This tutorial complements that cartridge, but has a general focus so this information can be used without reinterpretation by Astrocade assembly programmers, or those wishing to learn about the machine. The Music Synthesizer by Chuck Thomka - A tutorial on creating sound effects for the Astrocade. Black Box by B. Reany. - This Bally BASIC (300-baud) program was printed on page 74 of the August 1979 issue of the Arcadian. Black Box is a sort of Battleship game where the computer hides some "atoms" in a grid and you have to locate them. Use the diagram for clues. Space War by Dave Ibach - A 300-baud, Bally BASIC game that was printed in the September 1979 issue of the Arcadian. It's a neat idea for a two player game. Each player has a ship on one side of the screen, and can move up and down and fire at any angle. However, the ships are invisible, so you can only figure out where your opponent is when they fire a shot. XY Tutorial by Timothy Hays - A 12-page tutorial on the Bally BASIC XY command for exceptionally well controlled graphics. XY Tutorial Programs by Timothy Hays - This archive includes the Bally BASIC programs included with the XY Tutorial document. The six programs included are: 3-D Forward Simulation Above A Flat Plane, Cartesian Coordinates To XY Values Routine, Demonstration Program #2, Demonstration Program #2 (with Additions), Demonstration Program #4, and RND XY Value To Perspective Point. Responses to the Arcadian July 1979 Survey These letters relate to the programming keyboard survey on page 55 of the July 1979 issue of Arcadian. As a reminder, the survey questions were: "Assume that the Bally keyboard is available with full capacity (reference page 21). Are you ready to pay $650 for it? "Assume that the Bally keyboard is available with partial capacity (reference page 54). Are you ready to pay $350 for it? "Assume that we develop a keyboard that would have 16K RAM with upgrading capability of 24-plus K RAM, and some form of resident BASIC in 16K ROM, along with some features such as cassette motor control, word processing capability, etc. Are you ready to pay $350 for it? (Assuming that Bally does not produce in the same timeframe.) "A postal card with numbers down the side and yes/no opposite each is all that is necessary, but suggestions are certainly welcome. Also, tell me the model number and serial number of your machine if you haven't done so yet." Letter from Paul Zibits to Bob Fabris. (Approximately July/August 1979). Letter from Kirk Gregg to Bob Fabris. (Approximately July/August 1979). Letter From "Levin" to Bob Fabris. (July 31, 1979). Letter from M. Lewitzke to Bob Fabris. (August 2, 1979). Letter from Richard Bates to Bob Fabris. (August 4, 1979). Letter from Terry Kersey to Bob Fabris. (August 10, 1979). Letter from John Hurst to Bob Fabris. (August 11, 1979). Letter from Kelvyn Lach to Bob Fabris. (August 19, 1979). Letter from L. Kingman to Bob Fabris. (August 24, 1979). Letter from Curtis Schmidt to Bob Fabris. (August 28, 1979). Letter from Ken Stalter to Bob Fabris. (September 3, 1979). Letter from David Templeton to Bob Fabris. (September 5, 1979). Letter from Al Nowak to Bob Fabris. (September 6, 1979). Letter from George Tucker to Bob Fabris. (October 16, 1979). Letters to the Arcadian Letter from Chuck Thomka to Bob Fabris. (1979, probably late January). - Chuck sent two programs with this letter: Modified Player Piano for Learning Aid on the &16 - &23 Commands and Leaning Aid for "&" Command. It seems that these two programs helped Chuck figure-out the sound capability of the Bally Arcade. He went on to use this information to write the Music Synthesizer tutorials in the July and August 1979 issues of the Arcadian. Chuck describes the printer that he uses to create the BASIC listing forms, "It actually doesn't take too long to create a form on what I use, which is a cross between a computer and a very high-speed line printer. It puts images on paper with laser optics utilizes Xerox xerographics. It's really quite an impressive machine. As an example of what can be done with it, well, if you can envision an 8 1/2" x 11" blank piece of paper and another 8 1/2" x 11" completely black piece of paper, this represents the extremes of the machine. Everything in-between (just about) can be done by this machine. That includes all different font sizes and styles, logos, lines and even signatures! All this with about the resolution of 300 dots to the inch. The speed of this machine is two full pages a second. If you wanted to print with a reduced print style and also have put two sides of data on the same side of the paper, this machine would print at equivalent speed of 36,000 lines per minute! Like I said, a very high-speed line printer!" Leaning Aid for '&' Command by Chuck Thomka. - A five-page program that is purely Chuck's own concoction. This program uses all but about 150 bytes of memory and is somewhat involved, but is informative as to the workings of all the possible '&' commands. Modified Player Piano for Learning Aid on the &16 - &23 Commands by Chuck Thomka - Submitted to Arcadian on January 5, 1979, but previously unpublished. A single-page modification to an existing Bally program which allows easy and quick changes to '&16' through '&23 commands [the sound ports]. Dealers of Lightning: Xerox PARC and the Dawn of the Computer Age by Michael A. Hiltzik - Chuck Thomka works worked a Xerox, and he mentioned what sounds like a laser printer in his letter. This is an Amazon.com link to Dealers of Lightning, a book published in 2000. The creation of the laser printer is discussed in some detail here. It "is a fascinating journey of intellectual creation. In the 1970s and '80s, Xerox Corporation brought together a brain-trust of engineering geniuses, a group of computer eccentrics dubbed PARC. This brilliant group created several monumental innovations that triggered a technological revolution, including the first personal computer, the laser printer, and the graphical interface (one of the main precursors of the Internet), only to see these breakthroughs rejected by the corporation. Yet, instead of giving up, these determined inventors turned their ideas into empires that radically altered contemporary life and changed the world." Letter from Tracy Crook to Bob Fabris. (About 1979). - "I wanted to let you know where I am on the Bally expansion. So far, I've added 16K RAM, one serial port, two parallel ports and an ASCII keyboard. These all work very well. What has not worked so well, is some special logic used with the non-mask will direct. With this, I had hoped to use the Bally BASIC unmodified with the keyboard I added. As it is, I can input data from the keyboard under basic control (or machine language), but program entry and editing must still be done through the keypad. I can't get this to work, I guess Bally BASIC (or some other language) could be placed in RAM. A commented listing of Bally BASIC would be invaluable at this point. [...] With that info, we could tailor it a bit and put it in RAM. "At this point, I see the remainder of the expansion to be mainly a software effort, which is where I could use some help. The most important changes, I think, would be to get BASIC program storage out of internal (graphics) memory. This would greatly increase the color capabilities when using BASIC." [Note: Blue Ram BASIC does this, which is why more colors are available to this expanded BASIC.] "Another interesting possibility open by having RAM memory available is the ability to load it with data from any of the game cartridges (which were previously dumped onto a cassette tape) and then switch this memory into the bank normally signed the plug-in cartridge. This is quite easy to do. At this point the Bally would perform exactly as if you had plugged in the game cartridge that the data came from." [The Blue Ram, Viper and Lil' White RAM expansion units all allow for this.] "The end result would be that you could have the entire library of Bally games in a couple of cassette tapes. Bally might not be too wild about this idea, I assure you it would work." "In the meantime, in order to ease programming the Bally, I use another one of the microcomputers I own, which has an ASCII keyboard, to write Bally BASIC programs on and then dump them on tape in a format compatible with the Bally. Doing it off like this has some disadvantages, but it sure beats that key pad." "Haven't done much on it lately, as my Bally was struck by lightning about five weeks ago, and it still not back from the factory." Letter from Ed Mulholland to Bob Fabris. (July 1, 1979 / July 23, 1979). - In the July 1'st letter, Ed says, "The schematics to our Ballys show a 10-pin and a 26-pin port in addition to the IEEE-488 port. My machine did not have 26-pin port as shown in the photo on page 14 of the [Bally PA-1] service. This would still be only a small inconvenience because the pin numbers and functions as shown on the schematic." The second part of the letter (dated July 23) shows how the 10-wire 24-key keypad is arranged. I think that this information is meant to help explain how to wire a 63-key "full size" ASCII keyboard in parallel with the 24-key keypad. Letter from Robert Dahl to Bob Fabris. (July 29, 1979). - Mr. Dahl suggests that future issues the Arcadian leave room so that a hole punch can be used so that the issues can be stored in a binder. He says, "They are well worth saving." I agree! On July 27, Mr. Dahl received a mimeographed copy of the Hacker's Manual from Bally. He notes that they included a letter that says they do not expect the keyboard expansion to be released this year Robert Dahl notes that he was able to order the Amazing Maze/Tic-Tac-Toe cartridge from Montgomery Ward's catalog. He got the cartridge in just three days. He adds that a fellow, who sells the Arcade and its accessories, tells him that he has a standing order for all arcade items, but gets more promises than anything else from a wholesale distributor in Milwaukee. This man had been trying to get the Amazing Maze cartridge ever since he first heard about it and he had yet to get it. Mr. Dahl figures that Bally's distribution must be out of whack. Mr. Dahl has typed in various versions of Slot Machine. He talks about three that he has used comparing and contrasting differences between them. Mr. Dahl makes a comment that the Checkers game number six had him puzzled. He was expecting a regular checkerboard on the TV screen. He says that, "Right now, it's beginning to soak-in that I should take a checkerboard and number the squares and move the pieces around as the numbers on the screen direct?" [Is this accurate?!?] Letter from Andy Guevara to Bob Fabris. (July 30, 1979). - Andy Guevara wrote several programs that were published in the Arcadian and Cursor/BASIC Express newsletters. Andy programmed the Machine Language Manager, a 2K cartridge that was released in 1982 by The Bit Fiddlers. He released a few tapes, including Candy Man and Chicken, two games released on tape that were written in mostly machine language. He wrote Ms. Candyman and Sea Devil, both of which are 4K cartridges that were released 1983 by L&M Software. Mr. Guevara also wrote The Bit Fiddler's Corner, an Astrocade machine language programming tutorial that ran as a series of serialized articles in the Arcadian newsletter in 1983 and 1984. Andy just received his first stack of Arcadian newsletters. He has had his Bally arcade for five months and never dreamed that so much information could be further developed. He has dumped the Baseball cartridge, and is pleased to see that other people have made ROM dumps too. Mr. Guevera is looking into expanding his internal memory from 4K to 12K of RAM with a single IC designed by Harris Semiconductor. He goes into detail about how this might work. Andy has come up with a solution for Bob to be able to print programs. He provides details and a schematic on a device that can be used that will use a UART to allow the Bally to print. Although Andy has only had his Bally Professional Arcade model BPA-1100 for five months, the innards have already had to be changed twice. Letter from Richard Dermody to Bob Fabris. (July 31, 1979).- Richard's interest has been piqued by the announcement of the keyboard project. So much so, that he has already gone out and bought a keyboard for the project. He says, the "glimmer of a future for the Arcade as a computer [...] has prompted [him] to retain his [Arcade] with hopes for the future." Richard notes that while he understands the difficulties that Bally may be having with the FCC, he has noticed that other companies, such as Apple, have made significant progress in the same time period since the Arcade was first announced. Richard is on his second Bally arcade. He had to return his first one to Montgomery Ward as "it tended to self-destruct after being in operation for a while." Mr. Dermody hopes that reviews of the Bally cartridges will be in future issues. There is no local retailer for these items where he lives so his only resort is mail-order. He would like to have some idea of what he is ordering before he places an order. Letter from Guy McLimore to Bob Fabris. (July 31, 1979).- Guy gives an unqualified "yes" to all the survey questions that Bob asked the previous issue of the Arcadian. Guy says that he wants and needs a keyboard badly. An interesting bit here is that Ken Ballard, the owner of ABC Hobbycraft, has commissioned a professional hardware/software man to develop a 64K keyboard memory expansion to be sold commercially. The unit is still in the planning stages, but [they] hope that it will be ready by December." This seems overly optimistic, since it is nearly August already. I don't recall ever hearing about this from any other source. It is interesting that so many people wanted to build, create or purchase a memory expansion/keyboard for their Bally unit. Guy really enjoyed Chuck Thomka's synthesizer tutorial. He found the two accompanying programs very useful. He does wonder how Bell Telephone feels about the programs, however. He notes that if you add the buttons A-D to the Touch-Tone dialer program (Touch Tone Simulate), then you have a semi-efficient Black Box for receiving free telephone calls. The Touch-Tone dialer doesn't work in Guy's local area. He thinks that Indiana Bell has an acoustical filter that prevents Touch-Tone signals from being input to the microphone from the handset. By popular demand, ABC hobby craft is now accepting mail orders for Bally hardware, W&W software, Stocker Software, and Skyrocket Software (Guy's company). Guys makes an observation about the tape quality for software that is being sold through the Arcadian classified ads. It seems that the people distributing their software on tape are using cheap tapes brands which makes loading the tapes difficult. He notes that the Dave Stocker software is also available on micro cassettes. I don't know of any other Bally software that was distributed on these tiny tapes. Guy has been pleasantly surprised by the amount of response he received to the listing of his Fantasy Games #1 package in the Arcadian. Despite the fact that it is a limited program designed only for those persons familiar with fantasy role-playing games, such as Dungeons & Dragons, the program sold remarkably well! Phenomenally well, in fact, given an audience of relatively few people. Guy will be creating programs under the name Skyrocket Software with his partner Greg Poehlein. They intend to sell software for the Bally, TRS-80 and eventually other systems. He says they won't be turning it out fast, but they will be turning it out good, paralleling Bally's own stated policy of producing fewer top quality cartridges as opposed to Atari's more is better philosophy Letter from Jeff Frederiksen to Bob Fabris. (August, 20 1979).- This letter is from Jeff Frederiksen, the chief engineer behind designing the Bally Professional Arcade hardware. It seems that this letter was accompanied by some hardware. The letter simply states: "The enclosed assemblies replace the 75361 clock driver, located in the oscillator shield. The failure of the 75361 is that the 6V high time after warm-up drops below 55ns causing the data chip to appear defective. If you do not have this sinking clock syndrome, replacement is not necessary. I hope you find the enclosed hardware description useful." Letter from Jeff Grothaus to Bob Fabris. (August 31, 1979). - Jeff is building his own cassette tape interface from the schematics on page 20 of the Arcadian and page 4 of the Bally Hacker's Manual. He has run into a few difficulties and is hoping to get some help. He also wonders if Bob knows if anyone else has created a working interface from the schematics. There's a handwritten note from Bob where he simply writes, "No." I find it interesting that Jeff is actually building his own tape interface. This interface would be of no use without the basic cartridge. At the time, I think, the tape interface was easy enough to get for $50. I wonder if Jeff was trying to save money, or if he was having difficulty finding the necessary hardware to use with Bally BASIC and a tape recorder. Letter from Karen Nelson to Bob Fabris. (September 10, 1979). - Karen is a programmer who got interested in the Bally when JS&A advertised it in Scientific American in 1977. She was told that she was one of the first people to get her hands on one. She was very excited about machines potential, but was disillusioned by the heat problems which were inherent in the first machines. She "burned out" two of the units. Just after she returned the second unit, she discovered that her programming instructor was doing the graphics for the Bally. She says, "Yes, folks, it was the infamous Tom DeFanti and his magic Z-GRASS." She knows Tom well enough to drop into his "Graphics Habitat" at the University of Chicago to talk intelligently about some of his projects. She also knows Nola Donato and a few other of Tom students who are working on projects for Bally. Tom has had the University of Chicago purchase eight Bally's and eight Sony TVs to teach students the basics of computers and programming. In August 1979, Tom was the chairman of a traffic seminar held jointly by IEEE and ACM/SIGGRAPH. For three nights, Tom and his crew presented new and interesting works in various areas of computer graphics (including a few by people using Bally Arcades). In addition to the seminar, a graphics experiment Expo was held and it was there that Karen met some of the guys from Dave Nutting, in particular Ricky Spiece (who developed the Football cartridge). Ricky was helpful and showed Karen some tricks (like the ports in BASIC), and he also demonstrated the graphics capabilities by loading a picture from a disk to a color monitor. In addition, his Bally was connected to a B&W monitor and a keyboard. His commands appeared on the black-and-white monitor, and the graphics were displayed on the color monitor. However, the whole setup was attached with the Bally board mounted in a frame, not in the case, which leads Karen to believe that some special wiring is needed. Karen describes her experimentation with the different ports available in BASIC. Karen has recently seen the pinball cartridge demoed at the graphic seminar. She says that it looks pretty good. She heard one of the Dave Nutting guys say that he had just sent the thing off to Bally and that it should be out on the market pretty soon. Karen says that there was a demo of Z-GRASS, but that she didn't get to see it. She does note that as a student of De Fanti, she learned how to program in GRASS-- Z-GRASS's daddy-- using a PDP-11/45. Karen is glad to find out that there are other people like her who think that the Bally Arcade/computer has a lot more potential than most people give it credit for. She hopes that Bob Fabris might be able to pass on some information to whoever the marketing manager at Bally is. She would like to see the Bally advertisement computer magazines such as BYTE and Personal Computing. She would like to see Bally stress that most people buy home computers for games and that Bally has terrific controls, and that by the time people become interested in programming, Bally will have add-on module available. She also says that the graphics capabilities of the Bally have no competition; they are the best, and the Arcade is dirt cheap when compared to other systems.

Kulturarbetarna kämpar i motvind i det politiskt turbulenta Spanien. P1 Kulturs reporter Lars Mogensen tar oss med på en tur bland högt och lågt. Och han börjar i en luguber lokal i Barcelona. Lyssna på ett kortare reportage ur Kulturnytt P1 längst ned i artikeln Det är poetry slam, dans och improvisationsteater på El Antic Teatre, ett stenkast från det gamla konserthuset Palau de la música i Barcelona. Estradpoeten och skådespelaren Dani Orviz gör en onomatopoteisk monolog om ekorrhjulet och en vanlig dag vid tangentbordet på jobbet. Och när vi sedan sätter oss ner för att prata då skrattar han uppgivet åt det faktum att han och kollegorna utgör något av kulturlivets trasproletariat. Dani Orviz är en del av Poesi- och teaterkollektivet Colectivo Combustión Espontánea – undergroundkultur i ett Spanien präglat av politisk förlamning, kapade kulturbudgetar, regionala spänningar mellan Madrid och Katalonien och inte minst häpnadsväckande korruptionsskandaler med kopplingar rakt in i toppskiktet av det styrande konservativa Partido Popular. Silvia Arteta, som är dansare i gruppen, hon skakar på huvudet åt det politiska läget och den förda kulturpolitiken. Även om politiken gör det svårt för kulturlivet så visst går det att göra grejor, även om det blir med usel ekonomi och på alternativa scener, säger Silvia Arteta. Danilo Facelli, poet och skådespelare tycker sig se hur makten försöker undvika de faror som kulturen kan innebär för makthavarna, och därmed så ignorerar man helt enkelt allt skapande som skulle kunna vara det minsta lilla tankeväckande. (0.30) De kulturprojekt som ges stöd är alltid de som är socialt sett harmlösa, menar Danilo Facelli. Därmed blir vartenda projekt som innehåller en smula tankeväckande material alltid betraktat med misstänksamhet. Ja, så fungerar det här landet där korrupta politiker vid makten är rädda för kulturen och därmed helt enkelt ignorerar den, säger poeten och skådespelaren Danilo Facelli. Självklart talar han i egen sak men mönstret är tydligt. Allt färre av Spaniens utbildade skådespelare och dansare kan leva på sitt yrke. Arbetslösheten i dom här grupperna är kring 50 procent och av dem som ändå försöker försörja sig som inom kulturbranschen ligger månadslönen för majoriteten bara på motsvarande ett par - tre tusen kronor i månaden. Resten jobbar som servitörer, lärarvikarier eller kanske som levande statyer på gatan. Det visar i alla fall en undersökning som tidningen El Pais redogjorde för nyligen. För Skådespelarfacket - La Unión de actores – så är de senaste årens kulturpolitik ett rött skynke. Fackets generaldirektör heter Iñaki Guevera och jag hittar honom här på ett litet kontor vid den stora avenyn Gran Via, som skär som en pulsåder genom Madrid.   Skådespelaren och fackföreningsmannen Iñaki Guevera beskriver hur hans medlemmar överlever genom helt andra påhugg, men att det är passionen för teater, film och skapande som ändå driver många att fortsätta. Mot alla odds skapas ändå mycket ny kultur, säger han och här i Madrid öppnas hela tiden nya alternativa scener och teatrar. (0.22) Det finns över 60 alternativa små scener i Madrid vilket är fantastiskt men arbetsvillkoren är förfärliga, säger Iñaki Guevera. Han och hans organisation hoppas på ett alternativ till den utslitna högerregeringen och en något mer generös kulturpolitik. Om det vore så att bara kulturarbetarna själva och vänsteroppositionen larmade om en usel kulturpolitik så vore det kanske inte så uppseendeväckande. Men när t o m den mycket konservativa morgontidningen ABC ägnar sin första sida en söndag åt en kulturpolitik i förfall, då stämmer det till eftertanke. Här är rubriken att El mundo de la cultura reclama un ministerio própio - ”Kulturvärlden kräver ett särskilt kulturdepartement” och det handlar om att högerregeringen slagit ihop kultur med diverse andra ansvarsområden och att det saknas en renodlad kulturminister som kan prioritera rätt saker. Utöver besparingar nämns ofta höjningen av kulturmomsen till 21 procent – en av de högsta i Europa – en skatt som gjort biljetter till teater och bio dyrare i en tid när publiken redan håller hårt i sina pengar. Kulturens svaghet blir också tydlig i dragkampen med finansdepartementet och en av den spanskspråkiga världens motsvarigheter till Nobelpriset - Cervantespriset – det har blivit en stötesten, där finansdepartementet blockerat de pengar som skulle gå till årets utdelning av priset. Grälet har fortsatt och det är nog en rimlig gissning att det till sist ändå blir lite prisutdelning – det finns andra lite mindre prestigefyllda utmärkelser att spara in på. Alla dessa klagovisor kan te sig lite märkliga för den som dimper ner i Madrid eller Barcelona en helg och översköljs av Pradomuséets eller Reina Sofia muséets utställningar – den som vill avnjuta Goya, Velázques eller Picassos Guernica. Den som vill se den nya Renoirutställningenpå Thyseenmuséet eller belgaren Marcel Broodthaers 60- och 70-talsverk.  en som vill se opera och höra klassisk musik på hög nivå osv. Allt detta pågår parallellt och jag frågar Iñaki Guevera varför inte en borgerlig spansk regering skulle kunna ha en öppen attityd även mot mer nyskapande och experimentell kultur – det är väl inte en kunskap eller ett engagemang som behöver färgas av en politisk vänster-högerskala? Nej men Kruxet är, säger Iñaki, att Spanien aldrig haft någon upplyst borgerlighet som t ex den franska, den brittiska eller t o m den svenska borgerligheten.  Nej den spanska högern präglas inte av något upplysningstänkande eller kulturintresse utan i stället uppfattar den kulturen som någonting hotfullt, menar Iñaki Guvera på skådespelarfacket. För att förstå kampen om kulturen i Spanien och den polariserade politiska debatten måste man komma ihåg att det också handlar om dragkampen om Katalonien där de tongivande politikerna nu driver självständighetsfrågan så radikalt att de ansvariga kommer att dras inför domstol. Kulturfrågorna handlar alltså också om nationell identitet – spansk, katalansk och för den delen baskisk och galicisk. I samband med finanskrisen kring 2009 - 2010 exploderade också det folkliga missnöjet med de etablerade partierna – högerns Partido Popular och Socialdemokraterna som under ett par decennier turats om vid makten. 15-majrörelsen och en nyväckt vänster i form av partiet Podemos svepte in med nya idéer och till synes utan korruption i ryggsäcken. Många förväntade sig friskt blod i politiken men av detta har det inte blivit så mycket. Podemos trampar vatten och har interna stridigheter och socialdemokraternas kris är så djup att de i början av oktober avsatte sin partiledare Pedro Sanchez och för närvarade saknar ledare, på samma sätt som landet saknar en permanent premiärminister. För sossarna handlar det om att välja mellan pest och kolera: släppa fram en borgerlig minoritetsregering och sedan slicka sina sår i tysthet. Eller tvinga fram en tredje omgång val och där sannolikt fortsätta sin kräftgång. Avgörandet lär ske de närmaste dagarna. Nu är vi i den lilla byn Colmenarejo norr om Madrid, där stans ungdoms-symfoniorkester repeterar under ledning av Miguel Guerra, som till vardags dirigerar Spanska radions och televisionens orkester, alltså motsvarigheten till Sveriges Radios symfoniorkester. Han brinner för musiken och ungdomarnas utveckling men häpnar inför regeringens besparingar som gjort att radiosymfonikerna nu saknar 25 av hundra musiker. Vakanserna påverkar orkesterns repertoar, säger dirigenten Miguel Guerra. Dessutom gjordes ett försök att förvandla hela orkestern till daglönearbetare som bara skulle ha betalat för den tid de repade och spelade, ingen fast anställning, utan arbetslöshet så fort säsongen var över. Tack vare ett stort stöd från publiken lyckades radio- och tevesymfonikerna undvika att bli frilansande daglönemusikanter och än så länge håller de fanan så högt det går. En annan som kämpar på är Natalia Maya och hennes unga kollegor i Ciklalab – cykellabbet, ett gäng konstnärer, designers och arkitekter som blev arbetslösa när finanskrisen bröt ut och som engagerade sig mycket i de sociala rörelser som uppstod i krisens spår. Nu samarbetar de med Greenpeace och andra i olika projekt där deras cyklar genererar elektricitet som driver konserter eller rentav lyser upp jul- och advents-belysningen i olika städer. Vi skapar uppfinningar som kommunicerar kultur och miljöengagemang via cyklar och cyklande, förklarar Natalia Maya som i sina nätverk bestämt sig – bestämt sig för att försöka ta kommandot över sina liv, jobba under rimliga former och inte de enormt långa dagar som det traditionella spanska arbetslivet kräver. Det spanska kulturlivet befinner sig förvisso under press, men också i någon sorts utveckling. Vi håller på att skapa ett bättre samhälle säger Natalia Maya. Lars Mogensen Bakgrund Snart väntas beslut i Madrid om huruvida det blir nyval i december – i så fall det tredje valet i Spanien på mindre än ett år. Eller om den styrande konservativa regeringen ska få sitta kvar i minoritet trots korruptionsskandaler med kopplingar till regeringspartiet Partido Popular. Landet befinner sig i både ekonomisk och politisk kris; ett dödläge där till exempel årets utdelning av Cervantespriset i litteratur kan vara hotat, allt på grund av besparingar i en redan hårt hyvlad kulturbudget.

Burkina Faso is a landlocked country in West Africa surrounded by six (6) countries. As of 2014 the population of the country hovered just over 17.3 million. Not a tiny country, but definitely not very large either. Originally known as the Republic of Upper Volta, Sankara renamed the country “Burkina Faso” in August of 1984. Thomas Isidore Noél Sankara was born December 21, 1949 in Yako, Burkina Faso as the son of Marguerite Sankara and Sambo Joseph Sankara. In high school, Sankara attended basic military training, and in 1966, he began his military career at the age of 19. Sankara was originally trained as a pilot in the Upper Volta Air Force. During this time, Sankara immersed himself in the works of Karl Marx and Vladmir Lenin. He would go on to become a very popular figure in the capital city, and his charisma would surely serve him well. Sankara wasn’t just a military figure, he was also a pretty good guitarist, and played in a band call “Tout-å-Coup Jazz”; and his vehicle of choice was a motorcycle. The military career, accolades, honors, and private passions would serve to make Sankara a very influential image that would be admired by many. Sankara would become military commander of the Commando Training Center in 1976; and in the same year met a man named Blaise Compaoré in Morocco. In November 1982, a political coup brought Major-Doctor Jean-Baptiste Ouédraogo to power, and Sankara was asked to serve as Prime Minister in January 1983. This position allowed him an entry into the realm of international politics and a chance to meet with other leaders of the non-aligned movement including Fidel Castro [of Cuba], Samora Machel [of Mozambique] and Maurice Bishop [of Granada]. On August 4, 1983 a coup d’etat supported by Libya, would result in the formation of the National Council of the Revolution and rise Sankara to President of the country at the age of only 33. Sankara viewed himself as a revolutionary and was inspired by the examples set by Fidel Castro in Cuba, Che Guevara and Ghana’s military leader Jerry Rawlings. As President, Sankara promoted the “Democratic and Popular Revolution” with the ideology of the Revolution, as defined by Sankara, to be anti-imperialist. Sankara’s primary policies were directed at fighting corruption, reforestation, averting famine, and re-shifting political focuses to make education and health real priorities. On the first anniversary of his presidency, Sankara took the bold move of renaming the country from Upper Volta to Burkina Faso, which in the two major languages of the country, Moré and Djula, means “the land of upright people”. Sankara stripped away much of the powers that tribal chiefs held in the country. This act actually served a dual purpose for the country; first, it created an average higher standard of living for the average Burkinabe; and second, it created the most optimal situation to encourage Burkina Faso into food self-sufficiency. Sankara would be quoted as saying: “Our country produces enough to feed us all. Alas, for lack of organization, we are forced to beg for food aid. It’s this aid that instills in our spirits the attitude of beggars.” Burkina Faso reached not only food sufficiency, but had actually reached a food surplus. Sankara launched mass vaccination programs all in an attempt to eradicate the country of polio, meningitis and measles as well. In one week alone, in the country of 17 million, 2.5 million Burkinabé were vaccinated, getting acclaim from the World Health Organization. Sankara’s administration was also the first African government to publicly recognize the AIDS epidemic as a major threat to Africa. On a philosophical level, Guevera and Sankara were both Marxist revolutionaries, who believed that an armed revolution against imperialism and monopolized capitalism was the only way for mass progress. They both denounced financial neo-colonialism before the United Nations and held up agrarian land reform and literacy campaigns. On October 15, 1987, Thomas Sankara was killed by an armed group along with about twelve (12) other government officials in coup d’état organized by his former partner, Blaise Compaoré. Sankara’s body was dismembered and he was unceremoniously buried in an unmarked grave, while his widow and two (2) children fled the country. by the evening of the assassination, Compaoré was installed as the new president. . On December 22, 2015, so just mere 2 weeks ago; Al Jazeera ran an article that you can find relating that Burkina Faso had issued an international arrest warrant for Compaoré in connection with the murder of Thomas Sankara. Collections of Thomas Sankara’s speeches were published following his death, including Thomas Sankara Speaks: The Burkina Faso Revolution 1983-1987; Women’s Liberation and the African Freedom Struggle; and We are the Heirs of the World's Revolutions. On October 9th, Sankara gave a speech marking and honoring the 20th anniversary of Guevera’s execution. Just a mere week before his death, in the same speech for Guevara Thomas Sankara addressed his people and proclaimed, “while revolutionaries as individuals can be murdered, you cannot kill ideas.” Thomas Sankara belongs to the group of African leaders who wanted to give the continent in general and their countries in particular a new socio-political dimension. He was the hope of the African youth before being coldly murdered.
