Tired of watching prime time football from Qatar? We recommend three worthwhile alternative programs for those who don't like the World Cup on each evening of the World Cup: on Saturday with the mother of all blockbuster conspiracy theories, a very funny "Wilsberg" and the Yeti theory that it's impossible for people to exist.

Argentina vs Mexico is the name of the primetime game at 8 p.m. on the first. If this duel isn't fiery enough for you, if you can't do anything with the kicking game in Qatar or are simply not interested in football, you'll find three worthwhile fiction alternatives on this evening as well.

"Wilsberg: Bielefeld 23" (ZDF)
Lionel Messi vs Georg Wilsberg. What will the viewers decide on this Saturday evening? Kicking superstar vs. grumbling private detective. "Bielefeld 23" was the name of the 66th episode of the crime series "Wilsberg", which premiered in early 2020 and is now being repeated. The film (ZDF, 8:15 p.m.) is one of the funniest in recent years. Not only because an old acquaintance is returning: private investigator Wilsberg (Leonard Lansink) is once again in Bielefeld, in the East Westphalian "metropolis", which has been a popular running gag in the many "Wilsberg" years. Wilsberg's old friend, the Bielefeld building authority manager Manni Höch (Heinrich Schafmeister), has gotten into trouble. He is accused of taking bribes. Wilsberg's buddy, the tax investigator Ekki (Oliver Korittke), is of course there, but suffers from the city - he is constantly being cynically attacked here by the local commissioner Drechshage (Stefan Haschke) because of his interference. In this episode, fans were happy about the return of the charmingly goofy Manni and criminalistic tabloid theater at its finest.

"The Da Vinci Code - Da Vinci Code" (VOX)
"The Da Vinci Code - Sakrileg" (VOX, 8:15 p.m.) begins with the murder of the museum director of the Louvre, who stages his death in a special way in the minutes of his death. Strange behavior - why would a murder victim do such a thing? The question prompts Robert Langdon (Tom Hanks), a professor of art history and symbolism. Together with the French police cryptographer Sophie Neveu (Audrey Tautou), the daughter of the dead man, he takes up the investigation. A hunt across Europe begins. In 2006, Ron Howard filmed Dan Brown's mega bestselling thriller of the same name from 2003. With its cinema premiere, "The Da Vinci Code - Da Vinci Code" became one of the most successfully launched films of all time. In the end it grossed over 760 million dollars, in Germany alone more than five million cinemagoers wanted to see the blockbuster with Tom Hanks. He was widely praised for his role, although the film's reviews were mixed. Friends of conspiracy theories - meanwhile you might see this in a different light - will definitely have fun with the absurdly ingenious theses, twists and derivations of this extremely entertaining Hollywood madness.

"Smallfoot - An Icy Adventure" (SAT.1)
The animated comedy "Smallfoot - Ein Eisigartiges Abenteuer" (SAT.1, 8.15 p.m.), which was released in cinemas in 2018, pokes fun at fears, is a story about courage and a love of discovery - but it also offers highly topical social criticism: the young Yeti Migo, who in the German dubbing is spoken by Kostja Ullmann, is a curious and at the same time well-behaved guy whose destiny is to wake up his snowy village with the obligatory gong. One day he makes a momentous discovery: he witnesses a plane crash and sees a human being! He immediately delivers the message to the other Yetis, without realizing what he is triggering: his own discrediting and banishment. Because these "smallfoots" must not exist, according to the laws carved in stone, which no one is allowed to question. The film is based on the book "Yeti Tracks" by the Spaniard Sergio Pablos and is - even if it holds the mirror up to us - extremely charming. "Smallfoot - An Icy Adventure" (Director: Karey Kirkpatrick, "Over the Hedge") offers a brightly colored entertaining animated film for the whole family and is at the same time a wonderful plea against prejudice.

Stars and glamor as far as the eye can see: On Wednesday evening, numerous celebrities gathered in London for the launch of a new 007 watch collection by the luxury label Omega, which was designed to mark the 60th anniversary of the James Bond films. The last 007 to date was also there in person: Daniel Craig (54).

The British actor appeared on the red carpet in an appropriately classy black tuxedo and bow tie. He wore a white shirt underneath. Later, Craig also gave a short speech on stage.

Another eye-catcher of the evening was actress Hayley Atwell (40). She mastered the flashbulbs in a baby-blue chiffon dress by Sabina Bilenko, which particularly captivated with its golden corset and deep décolleté. Atwell's feather-embellished golden clutch was also an absolute highlight.

These celebrities were also in London
"Riverdale" star K.J. Apa (25), actress Daisy Edgar-Jones (24), "We're the Millers" actor Will Poulter (29) and "Dead Girls Don't Lie" star Alisha Boe (25) provided glamor in London on Wednesday evening.

The 60th anniversary of the James Bond films was celebrated this year with a variety of activities. Some props, including Bond's Aston Martin, were auctioned off. In addition, the successful films were all temporarily available on Prime Video.

Today, we are announcing Carrom School — A flexible career accelerator with mentorship and tutoring for software engineers in India to restart your career as a remote developer. Don’t pay until you get a well-paying job — 12LPA(INR) for Indian engineers.

The program would be entirely remote, and you can attend at your own timings, even if you are doing a day job.

Carrom is payroll and compliance for remote teams.

The biggest advantage of hiring from Carrom would be staying compliant to local employment laws.

Why?

Engineers in India are oftentimes underpaid terribly. To put things into perspective my first salary was around $300 per month.

Carrom’s vision is to bring equal opportunity to the talents who are spread across the world. We believe that remote work is a tool to solve this inequality. We are starting from the 5.2 million software engineers in India and want to expand into other developing countries.

What happens during the Carrom school?

Initial few weeks would be focused on learning the basics of web technologies that you will be working with for the next few months. In the following weeks, you will emulate how a remote team works. Attendees from a batch would be split into a team and develop a product based on specifications. You will communicate and collaborate like a remote team. Towards the tail end of the course, you will be given more mentorship and coaching on how to attend interviews. We will also try to give introductions to top remote teams. Just like a remote team, we have kept the curriculum flexible to suit your individual needs.

How are we different from a normal boot camp?

Our goal is to equip engineers with skills that are required to work in a remote team and also improve their programming skills by sharing what experienced remote engineers have learned over the years.

We also focus on improving the soft skills of a developer, which we believe is extremely important. The way you write on Slack, how and when to ask questions to colleagues, and other remote etiquettes. They would also attend 1:1 meeting, pair programming sessions, code reviews by peers and mentors, etc. We also set up AMAs with remote team leaders, and engineers who have worked in a remote team for a long time.

Who are these course for?

If you have decent programming knowledge — be it as a freelancer or full-time employee, you are eligible for this irrespective of your degree or age.

If you are a company skeptic about hiring from career accelerators read our “for companies section”.

If you are a software engineer, and you feel like you are underpaid and deserve better, fill in our general interest form today and we will get back to you soon.

Please read our FAQ to understand better what we are doing. If you still have questions write to us at support@carrom.io or DM us on Twitter.

Christopher McQuarrie has hinted that Ethan Hunt could be in trouble in 'Mission: Impossible - Dead Reckoning Part One'.

The 54-year-old director is helming the next two films in the action franchise and claims the title suggests that Tom Cruise's hero and other characters may find themselves in danger during the film.

Speaking to Empire magazine, Christopher said: "There are many things that come out of Ethan's past. 'Dead reckoning' is a navigational term. It means you choose a course based solely on your last known position, and that becomes a metaphor not just for Ethan but for multiple characters.”

The next 'Mission: Impossible' story is set to be told in two films, and McQuarrie is determined to make it a standout project in the long-running action series. The 'Jack Reacher' director said: "The first thing we knew was that if it's going to be a big two-part adventure, it has to be epic. It's going to have to be the episode that engulfs the rest of the franchise as a whole. There's just no other way to do it." Also, insiders have previously claimed that Cruise is planning some of the "biggest, most expensive stunts yet" for the 'Mission: Impossible: Dead Reckoning Part Two' sequel. So fans can be excited.

Films immortalize places - the Trevi Fountain, the bookshop in Notting Hill, the Studio Babelsberg in Berlin, the Old Royal Naval College in Greenwich, the Bergman Museum on Faro Island or the Odessa Stairs...

The European Film Academy has recognized 35 iconic locations, museums, monuments, places or landscapes as part of the European cinematic cultural heritage.

European film history is one of the oldest in the world and I think we should make a lot more of it. Because people are interested in classic films, and I think it's important to show where these classics were filmed... It's an important part of the work we can do to get cinema to a larger audience in Europe to interest.

The list of the "treasures of European film culture" gets longer every year... Studio Babelsberg, founded in 1912, the oldest in the world and the cradle of German film, is also one of them.

The Plaza de España in Seville in Andalusia has already served as a backdrop for various masterpieces such as Star Wars, The Dictator or Lawrence of Arabia.

More than a hundred films have been made on the beaches of Sète in southern France, including those by the unforgettable director Agnès Varda, who was one of the greatest ambassadors of Sète and French cinema.
