# 2008 Ecuadorian constitutional referendum

A constitutional referendum was held in Ecuador on 28 September 2008 to ratify or reject the constitution drafted by the Ecuadorian Constituent Assembly elected in 2007. The new constitution was approved by 69% of voters.
Following its approval, early elections were held in April 2009.

## Background

President Rafael Correa had initially stated he would resign if the constitution were rejected, but later stated he would finish his term.
A Cedatos/Gallup poll from May 2008 saw 41% in favour of the constitution draft, 31% against, and 28% not sure. Another Cedatos/Gallup poll from June 2008 showed 37% support.
Provisions include the right to healthcare, food, social security, and education as well as an emphasis on Latin American integration. The more controversial proposals include allowing a second four-year term for the president and legalising civil unions.

## Conduct

# Mary Jo Foley

Mary Jo Foley is an American freelance technology writer, author, podcaster and news editor. She regularly writes news, previews, and reviews for Microsoft's strategy, products and technology. Foley has been covering news on Microsoft Windows, and previously on Unix-related technology, since 1983, for publications including ZDNet, eWeek, Baseline, Redmond magazine, PC Magazine, and Directions on Microsoft.

## Career

Foley graduated from Simmons College in 1983 with a degree in technical journalism. In 1984 she interviewed the then head of Microsoft, Bill Gates, for a cover story in Electronic Business magazine. The interview was held at the Microsoft booth of the annual COMDEX technology exhibition. During the interview, Apple Computer CEO Steve Jobs, whom Foley did not know, walked up and began chatting with Gates. Eventually Foley grew impatient and told Jobs that she was trying to do an interview, and asked him to come back later. Jobs walked away, and Gates then explained to Foley that she had just sent away the head of Apple. In 1991 she was hired by the magazine PCWeek, later renamed to eWeek, and moved to San Francisco. In 1993 she was offered the newly vacant post of Microsoft reporter, and moved to Seattle, Washington, near Microsoft's Redmond, Washington, headquarters. In the late 1990s, she edited the award-winning "At The Evil Empire" column for ZDNet, and subsequently the "Microsoft Watch" blog for Ziff Davis. Until October 2022, she edited the "All About Microsoft" column on ZDNet.
Three days before the public launch on February 17, 2000, of the full version of Microsoft Windows 2000, which Microsoft advertised as "a standard in reliability," a leaked memo from Microsoft reported on by Foley revealed that Windows 2000 had "over 63,000 potential known defects." After Foley's article was published, she claimed that Microsoft blacklisted her for a considerable time.
From July 7, 2007, to October 26, 2022, Foley co-hosted a weekly podcast with Leo Laporte and Paul Thurrott, called "Windows Weekly", covering news on Microsoft, its products and services, and other computing-related topics. Foley mainly focused on Microsoft's enterprise business. On October 26, 2022, she announced that she was leaving the show, as well as ZDNet to become editor-in-chief at Directions on Microsoft.
Foley has interviewed prominent figures in information technology, including Bill Gates, Steve Jobs, Steve Ballmer and Satya Nadella.

## Production

In 2015, while on production of American Honey, Riley Keough befriended two extras, Franklin Sioux Bob and Bill Reddy, while filming in South Dakota and later introduced them to her best friend Gina Gammell. Over the course of several years, the project began to take shape, through writing workshops, improvisation sessions, and meeting hundreds of locals in the community, to make the story authentic. The group began discussing an idea for a film revolving around two indigenous locals growing up on the Pine Ridge Indian Reservation. They began writing the script based upon Bob and Reddy's life experiences and stories they had heard, ending up with too much material, and decided to split the story between two characters, and collaborated with local producer Willi White.

## Release

The film had its world premiere at the 2022 Cannes Film Festival on May 21, 2022, in the Un Certain Regard section. It won the Caméra d'Or for Best First Feature. Shortly after, Picturehouse Entertainment acquired U.K. and Irish distribution rights to the film. In March 2023, Momentum Pictures acquired U.S. distribution rights to the film. It was released in the United Kingdom on June 9, 2023. and in the United States on July 28, 2023.

## Reception

On the review aggregator website Rotten Tomatoes, 93% of 54 critics' reviews are positive, with an average rating of 7.2/10. The website's consensus reads: "With subtlety and authenticity, War Pony tracks the lives of two young Indigenous men and cements the two women behind the lens, Riley Keough and Gina Gammell, as talents to watch." Metacritic, which uses a weighted average, assigned the film a score of 70 out of 100, based on 18 critics, indicating "generally favorable" reviews.
# Matthias Zimprecht

Matthias Zimprecht (ca. 1624 – 1680), native Bavarian, was a Bohemian painter, active in Prague from mid-1650s till 1680. His known work consists mostly of altar pieces but he was also a sought-after portraitist and author of gallery paintings.

## Life

Matthias Zimprecht (1624 Munich – 1680 Prague), in written sources named also Simbrecht, Simprecht, Zimbrecht, Cymprecht, Cymbrecht, Cimprecht, Sinbrecht, Cympret, Cimbert, was the eldest son of an employee at the elector's court Peter Zimprecht in Munich, trained at the court painter there Kaspar Amort (1612–1675). After 1646 he set out on the journeyman's path (he is proved in 1650 in Graz), he stayed in Italy, where under the influence of contemporary Roman painting (Pietro da Cortona) he finished shaping his artistic expression. From 1655, he is documented in Prague, where he worked until 1667 in the services of Count Wenzel Michna of Vacínov (Waitzenhofen) as a private painter. After the death of his patron, he settled in Prague's New Town and became the head of the painters’ guild there. From that time, it is possible to observe his painting activity more coherently – he supplied altarpieces for the churches there, but even in Lesser Town, he was also the author of portraits and very highly regarded gallery pieces, on which we unfortunately with some exceptions find out about from collection inventory lists.

## Oeuvre

With his colorfully vivid, truly Baroque expression, strongly marked by Italian (Cortona-like) painting, Zimprecht headed further than his Bohemian contemporaries Anton Stevens or Johann Friedrich Hess and simultaneously he represented an antipode to the more concentrated in expression and more dramatic in light Karel Škréta. With his death in the Great Plague Epidemic in 1680, epoch of the first creators of the Baroque art in Prague and Bohemia ends, his work represents a link to the generation emerging in the last decades of the 17th century, Johann Georg Heinsch, Johann Rudolf Byss, Johann Christoph Liška and Michael Wenzel Halbax.
