Scenes of great pain were experienced this Monday at the funerals of some of the 13 people who died in the massacre that occurred this weekend in the department of Sololá, in western Guatemala.

The massacre took place between Friday and Saturday in the village of Chiquix within the framework of a territorial conflict that the indigenous inhabitants of the municipality of Santa Catarina Ixtahuacán have maintained with those of neighboring Nahualá for more than a century.

Among the deceased are several women, children and the elderly. A policeman was also killed at the hands of some local villagers.

The police believe that the confrontation began on December 17 and lasted until this Saturday in the region located about 160 km west of the Guatemalan capital.

President Alejandro Giammatei reported on Monday that he requested the approval of a state of siege for Santa Catarina Ixtahuacán and Nahualá to prevent new incidents of violence.

Meanwhile, dozens of residents of Santa Catarina Ixtahuacán gathered this Monday at kilometer 171 of the Inter-American route to express their rejection of the massacre and demand the help of the authorities.

The conflict between the two communities has its origin in the fact that they share water sources and local roads that both claim as their own.

According to the local press, Nahualá and Santa Catarina Ixtahuacán are the scene of constant confrontations between residents with firearms, fights with machetes or mobs.

The Guatemalan Human Rights Prosecutor, Jordán Rodas, described this Sunday as “serious” the situation in both indigenous communities.

Rodas affirmed that the victims of the massacre, after being ambushed and killed, “were burned in the truck where they were driving and the children were dismembered with machetes.”

Despite the negotiations that different governments have promoted, the conflict over the land limit between the two towns of Sololá has not been resolved.

Netflix rocked the muscle series trailer and release date Hellbound, South Korean thriller from the director of Last train to Busan.

Korean fiction is on the rise, and it’s not Netflix that will say the opposite. Shortly after the gargantuan success of Squid Game, the SVoD platform has indeed (finally) given an arrival date and a trailer for the arrival ofHellbound, the muscular adaptation of a dark Korean webtoon under the direction of Yeon Sang-Ho, who had previously brought to the screen Peninsula and especially Last train to Busan.

If the project seemed in the cards for a long time, we are delighted to finally have a date, but also a big teaser for what looks like a legitimate descendant of the slew of great thrillers from the land of the Morning Calm with a dose of fantastic. (and even though Bong Joon-ho set up a coffee table with the 4 Oscars he won for Parasite).

Korean comic book adaptation The Hell will therefore tell the daily life ofa mankind plunged into chaos when demonic executioners rise from the ground to condemn people to hell. In response to these nightmarish punitive expeditions, sectarian religious movements are created which see in them the arrival of a Last Judgment. The survival of the inhabitants is then threatened by the infernal executors, but also by the zeal of the disciples of the apocalypse.

First surprise at the end of this punchy trailer, the executors went to the hall. If in the comics The Hell they are thick, but anthropomorphic (and of a design that may recall the creatures of the manga Ajin), their design in this trailer closely resembles that of Thanosified gorillas.

However, the characteristic of the executors is not to be big or powerful, it is on the contrary to be inevitable.. And this overly muscular design could tend to make Hellbound a work tilting in the action to the detriment of its character of thriller. We would have liked stoic and impossible-to-sow creatures rather than giant beasts capable of jumping like kangaroos.

Executors won’t be the only sources of dread in Hellbound

The details of the appearance of the executors put aside, this trailer is still very enviable, and avoids saying too much in particular about the apocalyptic sects emerging among frightened humans, an essential component of the scenario to maintain the permanent tension on them. characters.

And since it’s the director behind Last train to Busan who sticks to it, we feel reassured. If this trailer is not entirely convincing because of his nagging action movie tunes, the terrifying atmosphere and the cast could well be the nuggets of this tale which is reminiscent of works such as Berserk Where The attack of the Titans. Universes in which humanity has sunk into madness under the threat of monstrous creatures.

To have the chance to discover Hellbound, we will have to wait until November 19, 2021 on Netflix.

Sixty years after NASA astronaut Alan Shepard became the first American in space, his oldest daughter plans to blast off Saturday on a sub-orbital flight of her own, joining former NFL star and TV host Michael Strahan, two entrepreneurs and a father-and-son duo aboard a Blue Origin New Shepard spacecraft.

“It’s kind of fun for me to say an original Shepard will fly on the New Shepard,” Laura Shepard Churchley said in a video tweeted by Blue Origin.

“I’m very proud of my father’s legacy,” she added. “He was the first American in space and the fifth man on the moon and so far, has been the only man to play golf on the moon. I believe he would say the same thing as my children: Go for it, Laura.”

Blue Origin will launch a full crew of six to the edge of space aboard the company’s New Shepard sub-orbital spacecraft (left to right): Dylan Taylor, Lane Bess and his son Cameron, Laura Shepard Churchley, TV host Michael Strahan and Evan Dick.

Blue Origin

Blastoff from Blue Origin’s West Texas launch site, near the small town of Van Horn, is currently targeted for 9:45 a.m. EST Saturday. The flight was originally scheduled for Thursday but was postponed due to high winds.

If all goes well, the New Shepard rocket will propel the passengers to an altitude of just above 62 miles, the internationally recognized “boundary” between the discernible atmosphere and space.

The six crew members will enjoy three to four minutes of weightlessness ? and jaw-dropping views ? before a parachute descent to Earth to close out a 10-minute up-and-down flight.

Blue Origin

The 19th New Shepard mission ? NS-19 ? will be Blue Origin’s third flight with passengers on board, and the first with a full six-member crew. Blue Origin owner Jeff Bezos, his brother Mark, 82-year-old aviation pioneer Wally Funk and Dutch teenager Oliver Daemen took off July 20 on the company’s first such flight.

Churchley and Strahan, a retired Hall of Fame professional football player and co-anchor of ABC’s “Good Morning America,” are flying as guests of Blue Origin. Their four crewmates ? Lane Bess and his son, Cameron, Evan Dick and Dylan Taylor ? bought their tickets for undisclosed amounts.

As might be expected, Strahan is the “star” of New Shepard flight 19, while Churchley’s quest to follow in her father’s footsteps is generating widespread interest among space enthusiasts and history buffs.

Blue Origin

Alan Shepard, one of NASA’s original Mercury 7 astronauts, became the first American to fly in space when he blasted off on May 5, 1961, three weeks after cosmonaut Yuri Gagarin rocketed into history as the first human to reach orbit. Shepard went on to walk on the moon as commander of the Apollo 14 mission in 1971, famously hitting a golf ball during a moonwalk.

In an interview on “Good Morning America,” Strahan asked Churchley what she was most excited about.

“I’m excited to kind of be following in my father’s footsteps, for starters,” she said. “And I’m excited just to go up into space to see what it all looks like. I’ve been looking at stars with my father forever, and now we’re all going to get really close. And it’s just going to be thrilling.”

The other crew members are relative unknowns on the public stage, although Taylor is a widely respected space investor and enthusiast.

In an interview with The Miami Herald, Bess, founder of Bess Ventures and Advisory, a fund that invests in high-technology startups, said he anticipates a “Zen moment” as he soars out of the atmosphere.

Actor William Shatner marvels at the view during Blue Origin’s second crewed flight of a New Shepard capsule.

“We deal with COVID, political unrest and even the challenges of a business career,” he told the Herald. “But when you look at the bigger perspective, you hopefully get this appreciation: How much do these things matter in the longer scheme of our planet and life and where we come from? … I will have the picture of the view that I’ll have looking out the window in my mind for the rest of my life.”

Taylor, one of the world’s most active private space investors and a co-founding patron of the Commercial Spaceflight Federation, said on his web page he never dreamed, while growing up in rural Idaho, that he might one day fly in space himself.

“I thought spaceflight was a possibility that only a handful of astronauts could achieve, and I could have never imagined that would someday include me,” he wrote in a blog post.

“To be one of just 600 humans to (travel) into space since the beginning of time? How could this even be possible? What an extraordinary privilege. But as many of us believe, with great privilege comes great responsibility.”

He said he planned to donate the price he paid for a ticket to multiple charities and encouraged other commercial space travelers to do the same. He calls it “buy one, give one.”

“It is simple, donate to worthy causes here on Earth the equivalent of the ticket price for the spaceflight,” he wrote. “Commercial astronauts are predicted to spend several hundred million dollars in the next five years. The impact that cohort could have here on Earth if they all supported this initiative could be very substantial.”

Competition for private spaceflight

The NS-19 mission marks the seventh piloted commercial, non-government sub-orbital spaceflight in a high-stakes competition between Bezos’ Blue Origin and Virgin Galactic, owned by fellow billionaire Richard Branson.

Virgin has launched four piloted flights of its winged spaceplane VSS Unity, most recently sending up Branson, two pilots and three company crewmates on July 11. It’s not clear when the company will stage its next flight, but three researchers will be on board representing the Italian air force. Commercial passenger flights are expected to begin next year.

Blue Origin followed up the Bezos flight by launching a suite of NASA experiments on an unpiloted mission August 26. Then, on October 13, actor William Shatner ? Captain Kirk of “Star Trek” fame ? and three crewmates were launched on the company’s 18th flight overall and the second with passengers aboard.

“What you have given me is the most profound experience I can imagine,” he told Bezos, on the verge of tears, after the flight. “I’m so filled with emotion about what just happened. I just, it’s extraordinary, extraordinary. I hope I never recover from this, I hope that I can maintain what I feel now, I don’t want to lose it.

“It’s so, so much larger than the me and life. It hasn’t got anything to do with a little green planet, a blue orb, it has to do with the enormity and the quickness and the suddenness of life and death. Oh my God.”

As celebrity endorsements go, Shatner’s flight and his post-landing comments were in a class by themselves and no doubt music to the ears of Bezos as he battles Branson and Virgin Galactic for market share in the growing commercial space marketplace.

Branson won the commercial sub-orbital space race in 2018 when his company launched its first piloted test flight above 50 miles, the boundary of space recognized by NASA and the Federal Aviation Administration.

While Branson’s July 11 sub-orbital hop was Virgin’s fourth carrying pilots, it was the first with a full six-person crew and the first with the company owner on board.

Branson announced his flight after Bezos had already selected his July 20 launch date, upstaging the Amazon founder and grabbing headlines in the battle to sell a product ? spaceflight ? as a for-profit enterprise.

“I truly believe that space belongs to all of us,” Branson said before his flight. “After more than 16 years of research, engineering and testing, Virgin Galactic stands at the vanguard of a new commercial space industry, which is set to open space to humankind and change the world for good.”

New Shepard’s path to space

Unlike Virgin’s VSS Unity spaceplane, which is launched from a carrier jet and glides to a runway landing after a brief visit to the lower edge of space, Blue Origin’s New Shepard is a much more traditional rocket and capsule.

In a little more than two minutes, the single-stage booster propels the capsule and its crew straight up to an altitude of about 32 miles and a velocity of some 2,200 mph before main engine shutdown.

Less than 30 seconds later, at an altitude of about 45 miles, the crew capsule is released to fly on its own.

After boosting the New Shepard crew capsule to three times the speed of sound, the reusable booster returns to Earth with a rocket-powered landing. The crew capsule, meanwhile, arcs up to an altitude of just above 62 miles – the internationally recognized “boundary” between the discernible atmosphere and space – before making a parachute descent to Earth.

Blue Origin

While the reusable booster heads back to landing on a nearby pad, the crew capsule continues upward on an unpowered, ballistic trajectory, reaching a maximum altitude of just above 62 miles three-and-a-half minutes after takeoff.

The Fédération Aéronautique Internationale (FAI), an international body based in Switzerland that certifies aerospace records, considers an altitude of 100 kilometers, or 62 miles, as the dividing line between the discernible atmosphere and space.

Approaching the top of the trajectory, Churchley, Strahan and their crewmates will experience about three minutes of weightlessness, enough time to unstrap and float about the cabin while enjoying spectacular views of Earth through six windows more than a three feet tall and nearly two-and-a-half feet wide.

Plunging back into the lower atmosphere, the capsule will rapidly decelerate, subjecting the passengers to more than five times the normal force of gravity, before three large parachutes unfurl, lowering the craft to a gentle touchdown a few miles from the launch pad.

From liftoff to landing: about 10 minutes. Virgin passengers enjoy a longer flight, about 90 minutes from carrier jet takeoff to spaceplane landing, but the time spent “in space” is roughly the same.

Virgin is charging about $500,000 per seat. Blue Origin has not announced pricing for the New Shepard or how much Bess, Taylor and Dick might have paid for their seats on the NS-19 mission.

If it weren’t for the soundtracks and the Czech-Slovak scene, we probably wouldn’t have anything to write about this week. The first group is represented by films such as “Sing 2”, “The Matrix Resurrections” and “Encanto”, as well as Nick Cave and Warren Ellis. The second is Adam ?urica, Katarzia, Lucie Vondrá?ková and the band Sebedrás. They will be complemented by Roddy Ricch and a live Behemoth.

The following new titles were released on Friday, December 17:

Nick Cave & Warren Ellis – The Snow Panther (soundtrack)

web / facebook / Deezer / we wrote

genre: film music / alternative

The soundtrack to Marie Amiguet and Vincent Munier’s documentary about the search for irbis was originally intended to be largely in charge of Warren Ellis. He invited his music colleague and friend Nick Cave to the studio for a day to help him write and record the central melody. “He watched that movie and ended up staying for four days,” Ellis told the story of the music, which is now released on the album “La Panthčre des Neiges”. The press materials describe the recording as the most cordial and at the same time the most distressing thing that came out of the pair’s workshop. Cave shares two of the thirteen compositions on his YouTube.

Adam ?urica – Our sins

web / facebook / Deezer / we wrote

genre: pop rock

“This album is the beginning of my new musical phase, as previous singles have indicated. I am older, more mature and more educated and experienced in recent times. I personally perceive this album as a significant step forward – whether in terms of authorship, sound and production.” Adam ?urica introduced his new series with these words and a duet with Emma Drobná. Both the mentioned single and the album were named “Our Sins” and in addition to this song you will find ten other pieces produced by Laco Rychtárik and Matej Turcer, as well as Richard Chovan. Musically, the Slovak musician remains on the border between pop and rock, which you can also check on his YouTube.

Various – Sing 2 (soundtrack)

web / facebook / Deezer / we wrote

genre: pop / film music

The second of the soundtracks, which has earned its own contribution, is the sequel to the animator “Sing”, which runs with us under the name “Sing 2”. His title track became the new U2 “Your Song Saved My Life” this time, and sixteen songs were added to them, which were originally sung by Prince, Coldplay, The Weeknd, The Struts, Shawn Mendes, Dionne Warwick and Ariana Grande. Kiana Ledé, Halsey, Fancy Feelings, Tori Kelly, Reese Whiterspoon, Scarlett Johansson, Halsey, Taron Egerton, Pharrell Williams, Adam Buxton, Nick Kroll and Keke Palmer have recently taken over. Supraphonline, for example, offers their examples.

Soundtracks

Johnny Klimek & Tom Tykwer – The Matrix Resurrections (soundtrack)

A new sequel to the film series “Matrix” with Keanu Reeves in the lead role is slowly approaching. While the music for the previous three films was composed by Don Davis, this time it was provided by the Australian composer of electronic music Johnny Klimek and his German colleague Tom Tykwer, with whom director Lana Wachowski has already collaborated on “Atlas of Clouds” or “Sense8”. As you can find out on the Amazon website, you will find thirty-five songs on the soundtrack, including several remixes.

Various – Encanto (soundtrack)

Even more songs, specifically forty-three, will be offered by the soundtrack to the new Disney “Encanto”, which also has two parts. The first one, the song one, is the fault of the Pulitzer Prize winner and Grammy winner Lin-Manuel Miranda and the well-known producer Mike Elizondo, and their performers are actors who have lent individual characters. The second is instrumental and its author is the composer of stage music Germaine Franco, whom we can also know, for example, from the Pixar album “Coco”. Supraphonline offers samples of all songs.

Jay Wadley – Swan Song (soundtrack)

Two films called “Swan Song” were made this year; a sci-fi drama by Benjamin Cleary and rather a life drama by Todd Stephens. The soundtrack, which features Jay Wadley’s twenty-five compositions (“Indignation”), is tied to the former, and samples can be found on the Amazon website.

Lucie Vondrá?ková – Loves

web / facebook / Deezer / we wrote

genre: pop / dance pop

On her holiday, Lucie Vondrá?ková presented a new album, which she called “Love”. A substantial part of it was born in Bratislava, Slovakia, so it is no wonder that most of the songs are signed by Slovak authors such as Bra?o Jan?ich, Miro Jurika and Mário Brezáni, and they are joined by Peter Fider and Raego, whom you will hear alongside the Czech singer. . A total of fourteen songs range from a relatively wide range of genres, from pop to dance and disco songs to ballads or folklore, as we have already heard in the single “Honza”, which Lucie Vondrá?ková recorded together with Kandrá?ovci. Another guest is Grenuy and DJ Mark Voss, who remixed her duet with Michal David “It was love” and also the 1990s hit “Jeans”. Samples from the album can be found on YouTube.

Behemoth – In Absentia Dei

web / facebook / Deezer / we wrote

genre: black metal

Polish black / death metal Behemoth led by Nergal, that is, a marriage of blasphemy, invocation of hell and dark provocation in one. An exception was not their streaming concert called “In Absentia Dei”, which could not take place in front of a live audience due to the measures and whose recording is now only released one week before the important Christian holiday. On the surface of the two CDs, there is a cross-section of the last two albums, the best of the previous ones and not only that. “In Absentia Dei” can also be found in the Blu-ray video, which captures probably the most telling show of the group so far. The performance, which takes place behind the scenes of a derelict church, is also available on an area of ??3 LPs, and the package also includes a paper model of the temple, which fans can put together. Find out more on the band’s YouTube profile.

Katarzia – n5

web / facebook / Deezer / we wrote

genre: electronic / experimental / alternative pop / hyperpop

About a year and three quarters after “Celibacy”, Slovak experimenter Katarzia returns with her fifth row. It was given the prosaic name “n5” and brings nine songs, which are according to the author “a collection of feelings and emotions hidden in larger inotajes”. Oliver Torr, Jonatan Pastir?ák, Evil Medv?d and Ancestral Vision helped her with the production, and the proven Aid Kid and the alter ego of the mentioned Pastir?ák Isam Zing took care of the final mix. The result can be listened to at the bandcamp.

genre: pop / folk / rock

The band Sebedrás by Ji?í Va?ek, the screenwriter of “Comeback” and the author of the blog “1000 Things That Fuck Me”, is releasing their first album “Radiopop” after ten years of its existence. Its other members are drummer Petr Ulrich, bassist Ji?í ?piller and guitarist Tomá? Hole?ek, and this quartet has prepared ten songs on the border of folk, rock and pop for their debut, with at least one guest musician playing or singing in each of them. “I didn’t want to invite all the friends who happen to have an Angel, but rather tried to know what a song needed,” Van?k explains the selection of guests, such as Xindl X, Kittchen, Petr Fiala, Olga Königová from Ille, Yellow Sisters, Filip Horá?ek from Prohrála v kartách or Martin Destroyer from The Prostitutes. You can find out what came out of this on the band’s bandcamp.

Roddy Ricch – Live Life Fast

web / facebook / Deezer / we wrote

genre: hip hop

Twenty-three-year-old Roddy Ricch is responsible for one of the last big rap albums of this year. A native of Compton, he composed an entire army of producers for his second album “Live Life Fast” with eighteen songs, in which you will find names such as Southside, TM88, Boi-1da, Wheezy, Ronny J, Mustard, Kenny Beats, LC or Sonic, and he added a host of guests such as Future, Kodak Black, 21 Savage, Takeoff, Jamie Foxx, Ty Dolla Sign, Alex Isley, Fivio Foreign, Lil Baby and Gunna. His YouTube has been alive for several weeks with the release of the album.

John Dwyer, Ryan Sawyer, Greg Coates, Wilder Zoby, Andres Renteria – Gong Splat
Frontman Osees is in office again and is not alone again in nine songs, but he was joined by musicians who had collaborated with At The Drive-In, Run The Jewels, Jon Batiste and Anna Ternheim. You can verify that the result is no light music at Dwyer’s bandcamp.

Movements – Live At Studio 4
An American post-hardcore band from California decided to present the live version of their first two albums. As the name suggests, the record was made in Studio 4 by their producer Will Yip in Conshohocken, Pennsylvania. You can find out how they newly conceived them at their bandcamp.

Johnny Marr – Fever Dreams Pt 2
After two months, a former member of The Smiths is coming up with another sequel to the four-part series “Fever Dreams”.

We were expecting the French CMA CGM or the Danish Maersk, it is finally the Italian-Swiss MSC which has set its sights on the logistics activities of the Bolloré group in Africa. The Frenchman announced, Monday, December 20, the signing of an exclusive agreement with the second largest maritime carrier in the world in order to cede him port terminals, rail concessions and other warehouses in Central and West Africa for 5.7 billion d ‘euros (including debt). The buyer, owned by the Aponte family, has until March 31 to submit a promise to purchase to the Bolloré group.

Certain proposals cannot be refused. When The world revealed, on October 15, 2021, that the Morgan Stanley bank was probing the appetite of potential buyers for the Bolloré Africa Logistics division, the historic activity of the Breton group, a valuation of around 2 billion to 3 billion euros was mentioned by the experts. But that was without counting on the frenzy of redemptions that drives the giants of the seas, engaged in a real arms race aimed at controlling the entire logistics chain, from container ships to ports. An offensive strategy financed by the manna which is pouring out on them thanks to the soaring freight rates, linked to the tensions on the supply chains after the pandemic.

In two months, the Marseille-based CMA CGM has made two acquisitions worth more than 2 billion euros each. On November 3, it took over Fenix ??Marine Services, the third largest terminal in Los Angeles and one of the largest in North America. On December 8, he acquired part of the American Ingram Micro CLS and its 59 warehouses located in the United States and Europe.

For its part, on its website, MSC boasts of owning, in addition to its fleet of 550 vessels, its own ports: ?Thanks to these ‘in-house’ terminals, we are able to give priority to certain vessels when necessary, which gives us better control of the supply chain. “

Take advantage of high valuation

For Cyrille Bolloré, to whom his father handed over the management of the family group, it is an opportunity to take advantage of a high valuation, in a profession where competition is intensifying and where investment needs are increasing. But not only. It is also for the company to draw the consequences of its legal troubles. In February 2021, Vincent Bolloré admitted his guilt for acts of active bribery of a foreign public official and complicity in breach of trust in Africa. The Bolloré group was suspected of having paid for the services of Havas, a subsidiary of Vivendi, provided during the electoral campaigns of the Togolese and Guinean presidents, in exchange for advantages concerning the ports of Lomé and Conakry.

Lewis Hamilton bojkottade FIA:s gala. Nu hotar FIA:s president med en bestraffning.

? Vi förlĺter det inte, säger Mohammed Ben Sulayem.

? Regler är regler.

Saudiern är ny president i internationella bilsportförbundet. Han har ersatt Jean Todt som lämnat över ämbetet efter 12 ĺr. I torsdags avslutade FIA säsongen 2021 med en stor gala i Paris, där delas mästartitlarna i FIA:s olika kategorier ut. Bland annat fick Johan Kristoffersson ta emot sin VM-titel i rallycross och familjen Hansen närvarade som bästa team i VM i rallycross.

Red Bull och Max Verstappen var pĺ plats, men inte Lewis Hamilton. Efter den omdiskuterade VM-avslutningen i Abu Dhabi valde han och Mercedes teamchef Toto Wolff att bojkotta galan.

Men eftersom Hamilton var tvĺa i VM sĺ borde han ha varit närvarande. Det stĺr i det sportsliga reglementet. I artikel 6.6 stĺr det att: ?De förare som slutar etta, tvĺa och trea i mästerskapet mĺste nĺrvara vid FIA:s ĺrliga prisutdelning?.

FIA:s president: Regler är regler

Det betyder att Sulayem nu mĺste bestämma för om Hamilton bröt mot reglementet eller inte och om han ska bestraffas för det eller inte.

? I slutändan är regler alltid regler. Vi mĺste se om hur det tekniska reglementet ser ut och om han har brutit mot det. Jag mĺste titta ordentligt pĺ det, citeras FIA:s president av motorsporttotal.com.

Han säger ocksĺ att om det har begĺtts ett regelbrott sĺ:

? Kommer vi inte att förlĺta det.

De tuffa orden till trots visar han även en förstĺelse för Hamiltons agerande:

? Jag vet att Lewis är väldigt ledsen äver det som har hänt och jag skulle säga att han är förkrossad. Men vi mĺste se efter om han brutit mot reglerna. Jag kan inte säga det än, jag har bara varit president i ett par timmar.

? Jag brukar säga att det finns en anlending till att reglerna finns där, en människa har bestämt dem. De kan ocksĺ förbättras och ändras av människor. Regler finns där för att förbättras.

Svenska första kvinna som FIA:s vice president

I samband med att Mohammed Ben Sulayem valdes som president valdes ocksĺ Svensk Bilsports Generalsekreterare Anna Nordkvist in som vice president. Hon är första kvinna pĺ posten.

? Jag känner mig otroligt stolt och hedrad, säger hon i ett pressmeddelande.

? Att fĺr vara med och driva samt utveckla bĺde den svenska och internationella bilsporten känsn som en väldigt spännande utmaning.

Hon delar posten med Manuel Avińo och kommer även att fortsätta sin tjänst som Generalsekreterare pĺ Svensk Bilsport.

Kimi Räikkönen hade bestämt sig ? redan i vĺras

Kimi Räikkönen berättade om sina planer för framtiden inför Belgien GP. Men redan när säsongen startade visste han att 2021 skulle bli hans sista säsong.

Här är beviset. Se filmen där flera förare har skrivit ner sina tre tankar inför säsongen pĺ ett kort, lagt det i ett kuvert och sedan limmat igen det.

De fick sedan öppna kuvertet i samband med säsongsfinalen i Abu Dhabi ? och Kimi Räikkönen visade upp vad han skrev inför premiären.

Bara det är en av anledningarna till att vi kommer att sakna honom 2022.

Även Carlos Sainz imponerar som spĺgubbe, precis som Pierre Gasly.

För övrigt meddelar Ferrari att de kommer att diskutera framtiden med Carlos Sainz redan under vintern.

Roughly 10 days after some fans accused Olivia Rodrigo of plagiarizing Elvis Costello on ‘Brutal’ – prompting a response from the 66-year-old singer-songwriter – artist Sour quietly added Taylor Swift (as well as l (songwriter and producer Jack Antonoff and creator St. Vincent) as songwriter on ‘Deja Vu’.

Unlike other post-release writing credit additions, Taylor Swift’s recognition on ?Deja Vu,? which ranked 11th in the Spotify Top 200 World Rankings yesterday, came without a lawsuit or even public threat of litigation. . Of note, Italian rock band Mĺneskin, who won the 2021 Eurovision Song Contest, placed first on the Spotify chart during the same period, breaking Rodrigo’s record “Good 4 U”, ” Bad Habits ?by Ed Sheeran, and more.

I’m so excited for this. I’m literally going to have an evening of listening with a friend of mine. Like, it’s gonna be amazing.

?I’m just like, I don’t know. I just think she’s such a great artist, and it’s actually such a blessing in disguise that she, you know, unfortunately, can’t get her masters back and has to re-record them. I think, you know, it’s like a silver lining that, you know, we get all these other amazing songs, ?Rodrigo finished, before describing the additional artists she supports.

In a separate session, this time with MTV, the Temecula, Calif., Native discussed “deja vu” and her top songwriting tips, “according to the title of the clip, stating up front that She recommends taking inspiration “from the inspiration of the people you look up to” – and specifically mentioning Swift.

?My first tip, which I think is the most important,? Rodrigo said, ?is to listen to music like a songwriter. I grew exponentially doing this. I think the best way to grow as an artist, in any way, is to be inspired by the people you admire.

?I’m going to literally love it, listen to the music my idol made, watch all of their interviews, then go back and say, ‘Okay, I’m going to love trying to write a song like they’re writing this song. ‘ And it completely broadens your horizons and helps make your music even better.

?I’m obsessed with the way Taylor paints pictures, and his images are fantastic and his storytelling is just crazy. So I don’t think I’m as good a storyteller as she is yet, but I always try to, like, put aspects of that kind of singer-songwriter-type narrative lyricism into my songs ? , she finished.

While neither Rodrigo nor Swift have commented publicly on the matter at the time of writing, it should be mentioned in conclusion that fans have noted the perceived similarities between Swift’s ?Deja Vu? and ?Cruel Summer? – as well. that between the old piece. and other songs. Finally, Swift and Antonoff also have co-write credits on ?1 Step Forward, 3 Steps Back,? Sour’s fourth song.

Regardless of whether the interview quotes underlined above contributed to Swift’s addition as songwriter on “Deja Vu,” the episode – as well as the legal headaches that an interview with GQ caused Pharrell Williams – may well make artists be more careful with their public statements. to advance.

A few days before Christmas and New Year, the director-general of Health, Graça Freitas, warns that the country is experiencing a pandemic situation “of extremely high uncertainty”. The cause is the Ómciron variant, a new virus “with the potential to put pressure on the health care system.”

“Even if it does not turn out to be very serious, it could only because of the potential volume of new cases that it could generate pressure on the health system”, explained Graça Freitas, interviewed at Poligrafo SIC.

“We have to be very attentive. It started a few days ago and reached accentuated and serious proportions in two European countries. It is for this uncertainty that we are attentive and vigilant,” he said.

On the eve of the Government deciding on new measures, Graça Freitas assumes that the Directorate-General for Health (DGS) was consulted, as were other partners. Stressing the importance of the booster dose, which should soon be extended to other age groups, the Director-General of Health admitted that just one week of contention “may not be enough”.

“We are dealing with a different phenomenon, new than we had two, three weeks ago and it may be necessary to extend this period more or less”, he said, stressing that decisions must be taken by the Government “which has all the information to do so. “.
