The current Web site has two main problems, according to Carfagno: in- formation architecture and the presen- tation of data. Information architecture refers to the navigation of the site and the site’s ability to be user-friendly. The second concern is related to the cluttered links that dominate the cur- rent homepage. “A spotlight on a dozen things is a spotlight on nothing,” Carfagno said, referring to the spotlight section of the current homepage. “Therein itself is the problem.” Carfagno said that some people do not know that JCU has a business Photos by Taylor Horen Fairmount Gardens (above), Fairpark Apartments, North Park Manor and North Park Apartments (right from top) are all affected school or that graduate programs are by Shaker Heights’ ordinance. available. “We can use the Web to make it more obvious that we have these things Spring 2010 staff here,” he said.

  • Operación Final – Operation Finale
    DERECHO Y CULTURA OPERACIÓN FINAL – OPERATION FINALE. Por: Juan Sebastián Murthe Cárdenas. Película estadounidense del año 2018. Dirigida por Chris Weitz. Producida por Fred Berger, Oscar Isaac, Brian Kavanaugh Jones y Jason Spire, con guion escrito por Matthew Orton. Protagonizada por el actor Oscar Isaac, junto con Ben Kingsley, Mélanie Laurent, Lior Raz, Nick Croll, entre otros. 68 A menudo se dice, que un libro no debe ser juzgado por su portada, pues bien esta es una de esas ocasiones en que ese refrán se puede predicar también de algunas películas. A lo largo del último cuarto del siglo XX y lo trascurrido del siglo XXI, uno de los puntos clave del séptimo arte, ha sido el de realizar filmes basados en hechos reales, sobretodo de eventos históricos de gran calibre como las guerras mundiales, unos con mayor éxito y fidelidad histórica que otros. En el marco de este uso histórico en la Revista Iter Ad Veritatem, ISSN 1909-9843 / Enero - Diciembre 2020, Vol. 18 DERECHO Y CULTURA filmografía, llega esta película, que básicamente se ambienta en la década inmediatamente posterior a la Segunda Guerra Mundial y los tan conocidos Juicios de Núremberg donde fueron condenadas varias piezas importantes del movimiento Nazi alemán; narra la historia de cómo algunos miembros del cuerpo de inteligencia de Israel, llevaron a cabo en territorio argentino la captura del líder nazi Adolf Eichmann, quien se refugiara en dicho país al terminar la guerra, para evitar ir a juicio por la comisión de diferentes crímenes. Esta, en la opinión de este servidor, no es una película más de tipo cliché sobre el movimiento nazi, goza de un trasfondo importante en materia de Derecho Penal y Derecho Internacional, este último sobre todo en lo referente a la autonomía y soberanía de los Estados, que concomitantemente implica la no intromisión en su territorio sin fines legalmente autorizados o sin el cumplimiento de los protocolos legalmente establecidos.

THE MOSAIC MONTHLY ESSAY • EPISODE 2 June: The Truth of the Capture of Adolf Eichmann 1x 00:00|60:58 Sixty years ago last month, on the evening of May 23, 1960, the Israeli prime minister David Ben-Gurion made a brief but dramatic announcement to a hastily-summoned session of the Knesset in Jerusalem: A short time ago, Israeli security services found one of the greatest of the Nazi war criminals, Adolf Eichmann, who was responsible, together with the Nazi leaders, for what they called “the final solution” of the Jewish question, that is, the extermination of six million of the Jews of Europe. Eichmann is already under arrest in Israel and will shortly be placed on trial in Israel under the terms of the law for the trial of Nazis and their collaborators. In the cabinet meeting immediately preceding this announcement, Ben-Gurion’s ministers had expressed their astonishment and curiosity.

Whether we work in film, television, publishing, music, or photography, we and our colleagues have all been affected by the rampant, illicit activity that occurs on the major internet platforms, including Google and Facebook. There has been growing concern in Washington, in the press, and among Americans about the lack of responsibility exercised by the major internet platforms toward harmful and illegal activity taking place on their services. For decades, online gatekeepers like Facebook and Google have turned a blind eye to the proliferation of widespread societal harms on their platforms. From sex trafficking to foreign influence over our elections, from privacy to piracy, it has become increasingly clear that more needs to be done to ensure platform responsibility. In recent hearings in both the House and the Senate, Facebook’s CEO, Mark Zuckerberg, characterized Silicon Valley’s failure to take an appropriately broad view of its responsibility as a “big mistake.” But whether the lack of responsibility was a “mistake” or something else, the failure of Facebook, Google, and others to take responsibility is rooted in decades-old government policies, including legal immunities and safe harbors, that treat these companies differently than other industries and actually absolve internet platforms of responsibility.

  • FILM REVIEW OTHER RELEASES Compiled by Martin Williams
    16 發光的城市 A R O U N D T O W N FRIDAY, DECEMBER 4, 2009 • TAIPEI TIMES FILM REVIEW OTHER RELEASES COMPILED BY MartiN Williams The Wingless Swallow ()/Fururi () A package of two films set in Taiwan and Japan with the same crew and actors, this is an unusual exercise in mood and emotion suitable for older teenage girls in particular. Set in Taipei, The Wingless Swallow sees a young author of picture books struggle with family memories, but she finds a voice for her past after coming across children’s tales in an old library. Fururi looks at the frustrated dream of a young Japanese woman to become a flight attendant, and what happens when she meets a mysterious youth. From director Masayuki Koide. Poker King () Just how many more crappy gambling films can Hong Kong come up with? Louis Koo (古天樂) has a special gift that allows him to calculate poker odds, and this comes useful in squaring off with Sean Lau (劉青雲), who has his beady eyes on Koo’s deceased father’s casino empire. Time Out Hong Kong pointed out in its dispirited review that the film was produced by the firm that owns the casino in the film. Even the film’s poster and title font seem tired. Next! Troubled Water Praise aplenty for this Norwegian film whose structure resembles a pared-down take on Rashomon. A young man released from prison after serving time over the death of a young child reinvents himself as a church organist, but fate cruelly brings the boy’s mother to his church.
