2023 World Snooker Championship

Tough assignment for Luca Brecel in the 1st round

In England, the draw for the 1st round of the World Snooker Championship took place on Thursday morning. Our compatriot Luca Brecel will compete against 40-year-old Englishman Ricky Walden, the number 24 in the world.

Walden is an experienced player with 3 ranking titles to his credit. The Englishman fought his way from the qualifications to the main draw. In the decisive preliminary round he settled after an exciting duel with the Thai Thepchaiya Un-Nooh: 10-9.

For Walden and Brecel it will not be their 1st confrontation at the World Cup. In 2018, the two already faced each other in the 1st round. Then Walden won 10-6. Walden's best performance at the World Cup was in 2013, when he reached the semi-finals.

Luca Brecel never got past the 1st round in Sheffield in 5 participations. The last duel between Brecel and Walden dates back to the German Masters in 2022, when Walden won 5-2.

In total, Brecel and Walden have faced each other 9 times in their careers, Brecel won 6 times.

The first quarter of 2023, between January and March, was the deadliest for migrants crossing the Mediterranean since 2017, with 441 lives lost trying to reach Europe, the UN said on Wednesday.

The United Nations International Organization for Migration (IOM) estimated that this figure of 441 deaths between January and March 2023 is below reality. “  With over 20,000  deaths recorded on this route since 2014, I fear these deaths have been normalized  ,” he warned, adding that “  delays and gaps in search and rescue operations by the States cost human lives  ”. “  Over the Easter weekend, 3,000  migrants reached Italy, bringing the total number of arrivals since the start of the year to 31,192  people  ,” IOM said.

Delays in search and rescue (SAR) operations have been a driving factor in at least six incidents so far this year, killing at least 127 of the remaining 441 people, the IOM said . . "  The complete lack of response during a seventh rescue operation claimed the lives of at least 73 migrants  " still included in this same tally, IOM said in a statement, adding that search and rescue efforts rescues from non-governmental organizations have declined markedly in recent months.

Entire boats missing

“  The continuing humanitarian crisis in the central Mediterranean is intolerable  ,” said IOM Chief Antonio Vitorino.  The UN agency's "Missing Migrants" project is also investigating several cases of missing boats, where there are no traces of survivors, debris and where no search and rescue operations have been carried out . . Some 300 people on board these boats are still missing, the organization said.

"  Saving lives at sea is a legal obligation for States  ," said Antonio Vitorino. “  We need proactive coordination from States in search and rescue efforts. Guided by the spirit of responsibility sharing and solidarity, we call on States to work together and strive to reduce the loss of life along the migration routes  ,” he added.

According to our information, the two ships have been rescued or are still on their way to Italy, accompanied by the Italian coast guard. But we do not know if they have already arrived. And we don't know how the people on board are doing either.

The French women's tennis team faces that of Great Britain in the qualifying round of the Billie Jean King Cup 2023 (ex Fed Cup) this weekend in Coventry. Absent from Portel last year during the play-off against the Netherlands, the Northerner Kristina Mladenovic finds the tricolor selection, probably in anticipation of the double.

The teams of France and Great Britain find themselves in the Billie Jean King Cup 42 years later… The last confrontation between the two nations dates back to 1981 (3-0 defeat for France). It was only the third Franco-British meeting after 1975 and 1976.

On the occasion of this qualifying round against Great Britain disputed on April 14 and 15, the French tennis team led by its captain Julien Benneteau, will try in Coventry to win its ticket for the final phase of the Billie Jean King Cup 2023. On the French side, Julien Benneteau has selected Clara Burel , Alizé Cornet, Caroline Garcia and Kristina Mladenovic . The Saint-Poloise returns to the France team. She had not participated last November in the play-off match against the Netherlands played at Portel. Kiki joined the France team on Monday afternoon from Charleston (USA), where she was playing in the doubles final.

The French largely favorites

If on paper the Blues will logically be favorites, Julien Benneteau approaches this qualifying round with suspicion: “This meeting will be difficult. We're playing outside and I don't know what kind of atmosphere we're going to have. Great Britain are a strong and cohesive team. But she will be deprived of her best player, Emma Raducanu (68th in the world).

Before leaving for Coventry, Caroline Garçia, Alizé Cornet and Clara Burel trained at the CNE at Roland-Garros. There, they had the surprise visit of the Cucquoise Pauline Parmentier . Their former teammate, now a young mother, presented her baby to her friends. They then flew to Coventry, joined by Kristina Mladenovic .

This match will therefore take place on Friday and Saturday at the Coventry Building Society (CBS) Arena. A room that can accommodate 1,500 spectators. Julien Benneteau will announce the names of the starting players on Thursday during the draw . Caroline Garcia, world number 5, will play the singles for sure. Alizé Cornet (70th) holds the rope for 2nd place.

A crunch not disputed for 42 years

Kristina Mladenovic (143rd in singles, but 14th in doubles) should play the doubles alongside Caroline Garcia, if it takes place. The formula of the ex-Fed Cup indeed provides that the double arrives at the end, after the four singles. However, France seems capable of winning the singles before, which would lead to the cancellation of the last meetings.

But the Northerner could also be aligned in singles, possibly on the 2nd day. Because if she lost places on the WTA circuit, Kiki remains a remarkable team player. She thus has the best quota, 15 victories in 25 meetings in the BJK Cup, among the four French selected. We remember in particular her remarkable performances during the 2019 Fed Cup final. She had indeed brought back the necessary victories against Australia.

The confrontation against the British looks less complicated. UK players are far behind in the WTA world rankings. Harriet Dart is 138th, Katie Boulder 154th and Heather Watson 169th. In the past, the two nations have faced each other three times in the Fed Cup, but that was a long time ago. France had won 2-1 in 1975 in Aix-en-Provence. Great Britain took its revenge the following year (3-0), in Philadelphia. Before winning by the same score in 1981 in Tokyo. But that was really in another era, when Virginia Wade was one of the best players in the world.

The category 4 tropical cyclone, formed over the ocean west of Australia, is strengthening and is expected to swing into category 5, according to Australian weather forecasts.

By Thursday morning, Cyclone Ilsa was about 250 kilometers off the coast of Western Australia and the system was categorized as Level 4. Moving at a speed of 16 kilometers per hour (km/h), it was causing gusts of up to at 260 km/h.

It is now expected that Ilsa will reach the mainland in the evening and be even more intense, becoming a category 5 cyclone.

This is awarded when the gusts exceed more than 279 km / h, according to the classification of the Australian meteorological office which then describes a system “extremely dangerous with very extensive destruction”.

Ilsa is described by some as "the most powerful storm of the decade" to make landfall.

About 700 kilometers of coastline are placed on alert south of the tourist town of Broome to the mining community of Port Hedland. Many vulnerable people and tourists in at-risk areas have already been evacuated to Broome.

While a weather station has already recorded winds of 260 km / h west of this city, residents are encouraged to go to evacuation centers set up along the coast.

The main road linking Broome to Port Hedland has been closed to traffic by the authorities for more than 500 kilometers.

The Brussels region has a large number of single-parent families: nearly one in three families. The heads of these households are overwhelmingly women.

Solo mothers came to testify to their experiences in the Brussels parliament this Wednesday, on the initiative of the socialist deputy Delphine Chabbert. The opportunity for these women to talk about their needs and to mention in particular the heavy mental burden that weighs on them.

Too little time for yourself

Sophie raises her 4-year-old daughter alone. A teacher and owner of her home, she does not benefit from aid. It is therefore not easy to make ends meet. But the precariousness is not only financial. It is also relational. Isolation and exhaustion are the daily life of single mothers. “ You have to manage everything on your own. This mental load is really very tiring to live with, especially when you work full time, ” explains the young woman. Renate agrees. Her daughter was born a year ago. She knew that she would take on the difficulties alone: ​​"I thought it would be rather logistics but in fact, the two biggest difficulties are isolation and having little time for yourself and therefore running out of energy after a while to occupy yourself properly of her child ".

Feeling supported and accompanied is therefore essential for single parents. A house is dedicated to them in Forest. Kadija Bouchirab, her coordinator, confirms the need to allow parents to breathe: " We have to rethink things for these families, offer childcare services, solutions for the well-being of single parents. They need these parentheses and taking time for them. This is what is most lacking in single-parent families, " she regrets.

Access to housing even more complicated for single-parent families

Finding accommodation is not easy in Brussels. It's even more complicated for single-parent families who often combine discrimination. The rent allowance is one of the tools of the support plan for these families put in place by the Brussels region in July 2021. " It helps single parents every month to pay their rent. Today there are a little more than 2,500 single-parent families who benefit from it. The amount varies between 120 and 280 euros depending on the composition of the household "explains Nawal Ben Hamou, Secretary of State for Equal Opportunities and Housing.

The voluntary sector also recalls that too many people are unaware of the aid to which they are entitled. To help make them known, there is a website.  Single parents can find information on the aid and services offered to them in the Brussels Region.

For many, Google Maps is an application for daily use to move around the city and reach destinations in the fastest and easiest way. For the benefit of these users, the platform is now working on a new update that aims to improve the user's search experience without getting lost on the map. 

The new tool will indicate the location where the person is at all times , even if they decide to enlarge, shrink or move the map. Below, all the details. 

As can be seen reflected in the image above, the new function of Google Maps is that of a red indicator that shows the current location of the user at all times or the one that he himself has decided to set.

The icon stays at the edge of the screen and allows the driver to scroll across the map without losing sight of the original orientation. 

This tool is convenient since before, when standing on one direction and moving the screen to another , the pin would be lost and the user would be confused. Now, however, the orientation process is easier and faster.

The app will also provide information on the location being pointed at , which is key to recognizing where you want to go. 

It is worth mentioning that these Google Maps tools are in the testing phase , so you will have to be attentive to the next update of the platform to access them. 

 When I look up at the starry sky on a beautiful spring evening, much of it is familiar. For example, I see the distinctive 'W' of the constellation Cassiopeia, the saucepan of the Big Dipper or the bright dot of our neighboring planet Venus. Then grab a star map and you can even find very precise celestial locations at which you, as a hobbyist, can point a telescope to see galaxies or fanning gas nebulae.

All this gives the feeling that we know that night sky a little bit. That we numbered everything, gave it names and checked it off on our star charts. However, that is an erroneous idea, as it turned out again recently, when Nasa reported something special. Something that the Hubble Space Telescope had seen in the depths of the Universe with its much sharper than human eye.

One of the photos from the telescope showed a small streak of light. Such an irrelevant-looking thing that at first scientists thought they were dealing with a speck, an anomaly, perhaps a stray sliver of cosmic rays that had collided with Hubble's cameras. Until it turned out that that stripe is something very special: a supermassive black hole racing through space with a stream of stars in its wake.

It is the first time that scientists have seen such a huge hole moving alone through the universe, they write in the journal The Astrophysical Journal Letters . You normally find such cosmic monsters in the center of galaxies. Our own home galaxy, the Milky Way, also has one: Saggitarius A*, photographed last year by the Event Horizon telescope. Astronomers have long thought that when two galaxies collide, a supermassive black hole in them might eject. No one had ever seen anything like it before, but now it seemed right.

That little dash is really huge, with all the staggering numbers associated with cosmic discoveries. For example, the black hole has the mass of twenty million suns and moves through the universe at a mere 5.7 million kilometers per hour. So fast that it can fly from Earth to the Moon in 4 minutes.

Such a monster moving through the universe at a killer pace is a terrifying thought, but at the same time turns out to be a source of cosmic creation. As the black hole collides with the gas in front of it, it is compressed in such a way that new stars are formed. That's the source of the stream of stars dragging the colossus: a tail 200,000 light-years long, twice the diameter of the Milky Way.

This bizarre spectacle takes place in a small part of the night sky, somewhere between all those familiar stars and planets. An illustration that what we see there is really only the minuscule vanguard of everything else that the cosmos hides from the naked eye.

This Thursday, King Philippe and Gabriel will attend the penultimate flight of Ariane 5. An important mission because the satellite it sends, Juice, will meet Jupiter and its moons. As for us, we discover the Prince.

The site of the Guiana Space Center in Kourou is huge. This Wednesday, on the eve of the take-off of the Ariane 5 rocket and the Juice satellite which it will send to Jupiter for a long eight-year journey, we played hide and seek with the King and Prince Gabriel.

They were naturally received as “very very VIPs” by the European Space Agency. While the few members of the Belgian press were visiting the site from which the future Ariane 6 will one day take off (Editor's note: we are talking about 2024), the King and his eldest son were discovering the Ariane 5 launch pad. The two were wearing a dark blue ESA cap. They were carrying a red bag with a gas mask inside. Security is omnipresent on this piece of land in French Guiana.

The third foreign infantry regiment keeps watch. There are soldiers everywhere and their physique impresses. It is in our interest to wear the right badge and not to be zouave!

 The 27-year-old star Angèle caused a sensation on the Web on April 13, 2023. The reason? She shared a new, never-before-seen photo of herself. 

A picture that hits

In this shot, we discover the young woman posing in a slinky mini dress with a neon green slit. A dress combined with a pair of fuchsia pink boots. An explosive look that left no one indifferent since it was loved by more than 135,000 people. 

And if Angèle posed, it was for Antidote magazine . We must admit that the rendering is canon. Besides, another photo from this shoot caused a sensation. In this shot, we discover the starlet in a tight black dress with a V-neckline. Angèle strikes a pose and displays a bewitching gaze. 

The day before, the singer was all the rage by revealing unpublished photos of her last trip and concert in Seattle in the United States. A series of photos loved by over 170,000 people. One thing is certain, Angèle is on a roll.

Justicialism will have two electoral fronts in the elections for partial renewal of the provincial Legislature. The governor, meanwhile, consolidated his space ECO + Vamos Corrientes and everything suggests that he will strengthen his position in the territory

Yesterday, Tuesday , the deadline for the registration of the electoral fronts that will compete on June 11 in the renewal of the Legislature and deliberative councils of 64 Corrientes municipalities that adhered to the provincial electoral process expired.

There will be three fronts that will compete to keep the provincial legislative positions in dispute: 15 deputies and 5 senators . The main one is ECO (Encuentro por Corrientes) + Vamos Corrientes, the alliance that hegemonizes radicalism with Governor Gustavo Valdés as the main figure. In front will be the divided justicialismo : on the one hand the Frente de Todos (FdT) and on the other Ganemos Corrientes.

The province has a complex voting system . The electoral fronts do not unify the ballot, but each party that integrates it presents its own ballot with the candidacies of the space. At the time of scrutiny, they act as collectors for the alliance they make up. For this reason, on voting Sunday, close to a million people from Corrientes will find themselves in the dark room with almost 60 ballots : 32 will be from ECO + Vamos Corrientes, 22 from FdT and 5 from Ganemos Corrientes.

The ruling party will renew 10 seats in Deputies and three in the Senate , while the opposition will dispute 5 and two, respectively. There are also some 145 places to renew in the local deliberative councils.

The names that will embody the candidacies will be known on April 22 when the deadline for registration with the Corrientes Electoral Justice expires. However, there are certain clues that it could happen: former governor Ricardo Colombi will surely seek to repeat as senator. The same will happen with his bench pair Sergio "Checho" Flinta and the president of the Chamber of Deputies, Pedro "Perucho" Cassani. They all wear white berets.

In the pro-government bunker there is tranquility. They aspire from a minimum to keeping two thirds in the Legislature and, from a maximum, to further increase parliamentary representation. This will have national and local political consequences. Valdés is shaping up to be a leader with regional weight in national radicalism and, on the other hand, the path would be clear for the election of executive positions in 2025 .

An open internal

The Corrientes Justicialista Party has been intervened for years. In charge of the process is the Buenos Aires mayor of Hurlingham, Juan Horacio "Juanchi" Zabaleta . After the meager result of 2021 —Valdéz was re-elected with 77% of the votes—, he had to overcome internal questions in this instance to put together a front that can compete against the ruling party.

"The closing of alliances was the result of work that involved a lot of dialogue and continuing to think about proposing an alternative that would improve the lives of the people of Corrientes," Zabaleta explained to Infobae .

Then, he announced that the candidacies that the Frente de Todos will present "will be representative of the unity and breadth that was achieved on this front."

"We are confident that we will achieve good results because the Front expresses the need of many sectors of Corrientes society to overcome a stage where many Corrientes have suffered for years," he added.

There was a sector that was opened from this assembly. It is under the baton of Parlasur deputy Alejandro Karlen , a leader in direct dialogue with President Alberto Fernández who tried in any case to divert Zabaleta from the intervention.

Karlen put together “Ganemos Corrientes”. He tried to add former lieutenant governor Gustavo Canteros to the space , but the former teacher union leader preferred to remain within the Frente de Todos, which he joined after leaving ECO.

“Peronism needs to come out of resignation. They want to force us to accept what they impose on us and that is not the Peronism for which I militated all my life," said the Mercosur parliamentarian in dialogue with this medium.

“Peronists not only have ideas but we have faith. We have confidence in our movement and in being able to overcome the worst crises. I know what and how to do it and I have the courage to do it”, Karlen concluded .

Guenther Steiner, head of the Haas team, continues to play the role, even though he says he is not an actor, the quintessential F1 bad guy, in a direct fight with Helmut Marko. His role in the direction of the young Mick Schumacher, two seasons in the American team, have been criticized, especially after publicly airing their discrepancies in the popular Netflix series 'Drive to Survive'.

"I don't regret what you see, I was not an actor, I lead a team and I said what I said ," he assures about his strong criticism of Mick (with Gene Haas for example) both for his expensive accidents at the start of the 2022 season as for being slower than Kevin Magnussen, booked at the last minute on the sofa at his house after Nikita Mazepin's abrupt goodbye.

Steiner also now adds to the collection that Mick cost them 2 million for his crashes during that first part of last season, and he tells it in his book 'Surviving for driving', paraphrasing the title of the series that triumphs above all in the US.

And it results in the fact that Japan cost 700,000, an accident on the start lap of the first free practice that Steiner still cannot explain, not even with the prevailing water and the enormous aquaplaning in that turn 7. "It happened on the fucking entry lap, in the first one that came back, it was very wet but they all returned the car to the pits. How many people could we employ with 700,000 dollars? And now where do I find that money", he narrates.

Steiner acknowledges that he began to look for a replacement, after the bumps in Arabia and Monaco, but above all after that run off the track at Suzuka: "I can't have a driver that I'm not sure can drive a car safely in one lap slow. It's fucking ridiculous."

All this criticism has not gone down well in many pits , including the one at Mercedes, where Mick is now third driver. "With Michael Schumacher in the pit, Steiner would not have dared to treat Mick like that," Toto Wolff said recently.

The Mercedes boss assures that if there is any loss again due to Covid or illness, the official substitute and driver for that race at Mercedes will be Mick . "And I want to close the debate on that," he recently added.

And Ralf, the same, "I think, and this is what bothers me the most, that if my brother had been there, Günther Steiner would have behaved differently, it would have been enough," he closes.

The first National Social Production Park (PPS) , which seeks to promote local productive development and houses social enterprises that respond to community problems, was officially inaugurated this Tuesday in the Tucuman town of Tafí Viejo, in an act headed by the minister of Science, Technology and Innovation of the Nation, Daniel Filmus and the governor Juan Manzur. - TELAM SE 2022.

 This Monday, April 10, 2023, Shakira posted a strong message on Instagram for the attention of the paparazzi and the media. She invites them to respect the privacy of her sons, Milan and Sasha, who are followed until they leave school.

" I moved to Barcelona to give my children stability, the same that we are now looking for in another corner of the world next to my family, friends and the sea. Today we are starting a new chapter in the pursuit of happiness ". Sunday April 2, 2023, Shakira announced to her 85 million subscribers that she was starting a new life in a new country. A decision that came a few months after her divorce in the summer of 2022, following allegations of infidelity against Gérard Piqué . Only, his move did not go smoothly, evidenced by a touching Instagram post, posted on Monday April 10, 2023.

Shakira's sons followed in the street

" Dear friends, journalists and media, at this time of change in my life as a public figure, it is understandable that there is a permanent curiosity on the part of the press around me and my family", writes the a singer. But if she is understanding, she shows her claws when it comes to her two sons. " My children Milan and Sasha have had a very difficult year, suffering relentless harassment and relentless persecution by the paparazzi and several media outlets in Barcelona. Now that they are starting a new stage in their lives, I urge to the media on behalf of my children to respect their right to privacy", she intimates. And for good reason, some do not hesitate to interfere in the daily lives of the two boys aged 8 and 10. "Please refrain from following them until the exit or at the entrance to the school, to wait for them at our door, or to follow them to their extra-curricular and playful activities as happened every day in Barcelona, ​​in order to obtain photos or better audiences ," adds Shakira.

(Bloomberg Opinion) -- More small U.S. businesses reported increasing difficulty obtaining loans in March after multiple bank failures led to further tightening of credit conditions.

A net 9% of homeowners who borrow frequently said it was harder to get financing than three months ago, the most since December 2012, according to a National Federation of Independent Business (NFIB) survey. ) published on Tuesday. The same percentage expect credit conditions to worsen further in the next three months and equal the highest level in a decade.

“Small business owners are skeptical of future economic conditions,” Bill Dunkelberg, NFIB chief economist, said in a statement. "There are great uncertainties ahead, the most immediate being the concern that a banking crisis could be triggered."

The collapse of four banks in March, most notably Silicon Valley Bank and Signature Bank, prompted many lenders to tighten standards for commercial lending. That has made it even more difficult for smaller companies to borrow, compounding an already difficult financial environment after a year of interest rate hikes by the Federal Reserve.

Bad credit news, coupled with deteriorating sales prospects and expansion plans, sent the NFIB Small Business Optimism Index down 0.8 points to a three-month low of 90.1. well below pre-pandemic levels.

Twenty-six percent of business owners who borrow money said they paid a higher interest rate in March compared to the previous three months, the highest percentage since 2006.

Although credit is getting a bit harder to come by, it's still less of a problem for businesses than inflation and the quality of the workforce.

The proportion of owners who believe that the next three months will be a good time to expand the business fell to the lowest level since 2009, the report showed. Companies also scaled back capital spending plans.

One in five owners expect to invest in equipment or structures in the next three to six months, the smallest proportion in two years. Companies also reduced hiring plans and compensation.

The survey also showed that a net 15% said they expected weaker sales in the next three months, the highest proportion since August.
