[ad_1] The house I grew up in was full of wooden sculptures that my maternal grandfather, Fernando Ávila, crafted. He, along with his father, my great-grandfather Roberto, and his brother were arrested after the coup d’état on 11 September 1973 and taken to the “Casa de Techo Rojo” military compound on Chena hill in the Santiago metropolitan area. That’s where they saw each other for the last time because my great-grandfather was one of the 11 railway workers killed by the military. My grandfather, whom I call “tata”, and my uncle managed to escape the shooting. My grandfather passed through…

[ad_1] Press play to listen to this article Voiced by artificial intelligence. NEW DELHI — A last-minute agreement on the Ukraine portion of the G20’s summit statement kept the entire document from the trash heap — but it took dropping a reference to Russia’s aggression against Ukraine to do it. All the members of the group of top world economies spent weeks in fierce negotiations over every element of the 35-page communiqué. The greatest sticking point was what to say about the war raging in Eastern Europe, not least because Russia, a member of the bloc, would oppose condemnations of…

[ad_1] Ari and Dante share one of my favorite, if well-worn, character dynamics: the chemistry between an observant, quiet type who doesn’t let a blank face betray his emotions and an outspoken, unfiltered friend who wears his anxieties on his sleeve. The film’s set decoration and costuming further complement their contrasting personalities: Ari’s room is devoid of items, mirroring his philosophy of keeping his emotions hidden away.
