The production version of this model will share elements with the Porsche Taycan and not only have a striking design, it also promises high performance. After presenting the e-tron truck, Audi remains firm in its intention to offer a family of 100% electric models and now anticipates the arrival of a four-door coupe with the e-tron GT Concept, whose dimensions and proportions are similar to those of an Audi A7 Sportback and will hit the market in 2021. The eye-catching appearance of the Audi e-tron GT Concept configures a body that measures 4.96 meters in length, 1.96 meters in width and 1.38 meters in height, with a wheelbase that approaches three meters. It is mounted on the new Premium Platform Electric Platform (PPE), developed in conjunction with Porsche. According to the manufacturer, the body is built mainly in aluminum and ultra high strength steel, although the roof is made of polymer reinforced with carbon fiber. Draw attention to showy 22-inch wheels, paint color (called Kinetic Dust) and Matrix LED Laser headlights, with long-range beam. Its drive is in charge of two electric motors (one on each axis), whose combined power is 590 horsepower and is managed by an electric drive that regulates not only its operation, but also the amount of torque that is sent to each wheel. It is powered by lithium-ion batteries of 90 kWh capacity. In the Audi e-tron GT production, the autonomy would exceed 400 kilometers and with a fast charging system, could recover 80% of the energy in just 20 minutes. It has carbocerámicos disc brakes and the cams behind the rudder can regulate the intensity of the braking at the time of decelerating the car. Audi indicates that the tuning of this model is carried out by the sports division Audi Sport GmbH and specifies that the production model can accelerate from 0 to 100 km / h in about 3.5 seconds and it would only take a little more than 12 seconds in reach 200 km / h, while the maximum speed will be limited to 240 km / h.

The Canadian singer has announced that in 2019 she will end her residence in the city of sin. Her fans lament, but she has decided to take a new path On June 8, 2019 will be the last performance of Céline Dion in Las Vegas. Or at least that's what she says now, because a return would not be ruled out, given that she has been the most profitable artist in the city of sin, since her husband, the late René Angelil, and she decided to give a turn to his career that many considered suicide and that has proven to be the opposite. Now there are many artists who dream of a residence in one of the casinos. Beyond the musical significance of his first big show, 'A new day ...', which debuted on March 25, 2003, with a contract of no less than 600 concerts, we must underline the fashion dimension, very influenced in that first stage for the pyrotechnics and visual effects introduced in the show by Franco Dragone, world famous for his work with Cirque du Soleil. Artistic decisions that had to be refined over time because there were numbers that made the vocal performance of the singer very difficult. Céline Dion at that time was far from being a fashion icon. What's more, certain apparently improvable looks remained engraved on his retina, like the one he wore when he took part in Eurovision in 1988, a contest he won representing Switzerland with 'Ne partez pas sans moi'. With a body language that showed some shyness, appeared on stage with a poor curly hair, a flattering makeup for a skin as clear as his, and an American with shoulder pads that was big and an antisexy skirt-tutu. Another of the less iconic moments of the Franco-Canadian singer was her appearance at the Oscars with a Dior tuxedo with the American on the back, cataloged by international fashion specialists as one of the worst looks in the history of these awards. It was the year 1999 and the interpreter of 'My Heart Will Go On', at the peak of po[CENSORED]rity, was the least cool in the world, although it sold millions of records. The arrival in Las Vegas of the singer was predicting the worst, because until then it was considered as the place where stars took refuge in the twilight of his career, as Elvis Presley or Tom Jones, but it was a masterpiece for both the singer , that saw its fortune multiply exponentially, and for the businessmen of the city of Nevada, who saw the hotel reserves rebound and the average cost per tourist. With an aesthetic of 'more is more', the singer, despite how expensive the tickets were, managed to mobilize an audience, with a demographic that frisaba the elderly, who bought the tickets months in advance. And it consumed the biggest ... (we are not referring to narcotics, eye). The curtain was lowered, only temporarily, in 2007, because Céline, after releasing two albums, 'D'Elles', in his native language, French, and 'Taking Chances', with which he toured all over the world , he returned to the theater that, with a capacity of 4,000 people, had been built expressly for her. Which gives us a clue how strong they bet on her before she set foot on stage.

Is the traffic violation justified? The weekend was the funeral and the last goodbye to former President Belisario Betancur. In Bogotá, several were the symbolic acts that were carried out, such as the vigil at the Academy of Arts and Letters, in the center of the city. Then on Saturday, several leaders of the country and political figures came to the ceremony in the Environmental Hub, including President Ivan Duque, who arrived with his thick security scheme. Their vans and escorts were news because despite the fact that the crossing is pedestrian, the president's visit to the relatives was parked and the pedestrian crossing was interrupted. This was reported by Noticias Uno, which showed how, on the other hand, former President Juan Manuel Santos walked to the site of the wake and left his security system well parked. However, the same media pointed out that the president's security scheme is very different from that of the outgoing one.

The Czech manufacturer unveiled its new compact model. Its characteristics in design and technology will be a reference for other vehicles of the brand. After announcing some images with camouflage, Škoda finally presented the new Scala, a model for the European C segment that will take the place of Rapid Spaceback in the manufacturer's offer. Its appearance and some features were anticipated by the Vision RS concept that was shown a few months ago. Something striking is that the design of the Škoda Scala is not as sober as that of other models of the firm, but it transmits a more sporty image, which configures a body of 4.36 meters in length, which is mounted on the platform MQB A0, the same as subcompact models such as Seat Ibiza or Volkswagen Polo. Due to this, the interior of the Škoda Scala is quite spacious and according to the brand, the back is as wide as in a Škoda Octavia (it can have air-conditioning outlets and USB ports), while the trunk declares a capacity of 467 liters, the highest among its direct rivals and even higher than several larger sedans. Some curiosities are the presence of a tray that allows to divide the cargo space into two compartments and a panoramic glass roof, which is completely fixed, as it is not sliding. On the other hand, emergency braking and lane maintenance assistant are standard, while parking assistance is optional. Škoda also makes a leap in terms of equipment and announces that the Scala will come as standard with LED headlights and stops (with cornering function) and its equipment also includes electric operation tailgate, digital instrument panel (10.2 inches), multimedia systems with screens of 6.5 to 9.2 inches and radios of four or eight speakers. At least in Europe, the range of Škoda Scala engines will be composed of three petrol (1.0 TSI 95 hp or 115 hp and 1.5 TSI 150 hp), the diesel 1.6 TDI 115 hp and the 1.0 G-TEC 90 hp, which is already prepared to use CNG natural gas. The mechanical box comes standard and for the most powerful there will be option to request DSG transmission. As usual in the VAG group, the undercarriage contemplates wheels of 15 to 18 inches and in option it will be possible to mount variable hardness damping and the Preset sports chassis, which also includes stiffer springs and a lower ground clearance in 15 millimeters, all in order to make it more effective in curves. Although the brand has already announced its main features, Škoda Scala will only be on sale in the old continent from May 2019 and some of its main rivals will be models such as Fiat Tipo, Ford Focus, Opel Astra or Renault Megáne.

The manager of the giant United Colors of Benetton died on Monday at 77 years of age. Reserved, serious and brains of the family business, he was leaving in what was one of his worst years If there is a man that Amancio Ortega, sixth richest man on the planet, learned for his business, that was Gilberto Benetton. Founder next to his brothers of the Benetton Group, Italian giant that po[CENSORED]rized the low cost in the 60, long before they burst H & M or Zara. On Monday, Gilberto died surrounded by his family at the age of 77 in his residence in Treviso, a town that, despite his business, never left completely. He was killed by severe pneumonia that was detected only a few months ago and left little room for response. According to those who knew him, he was a serious, reserved man who spent his free time surrounded by his family, where the administrative brain was without a doubt. The Benetton group managed it together with their three brothers: Luciano, the eldest, was the creative entity; Gilberto took care of the financial expansion of the brand in the 90s that went beyond fashion; and Giuliana and Carlo who were the technicians. An 'annus horribilis' for the clan Everything seemed to work a thousand wonders among the four, who never transcended any brawl media (and that the media followed closely). But this year, the clan went through what was undoubtedly its worst year. On July 10, Carlo, Nail and flesh of Gilberto died, and only a month later the company was facing the death of 43 workers, which, they claim, Gilberto did not know how to digest at all. The tragedy took place on the bridge of Morandi, Genoa, when the structure collapsed and left, still unclear, such deaths in the air. The company that managed this building was Autostrade per l'Italia, a company that belonged to Atlantia, a construction company responsible for most of the Italian motorways, and that belonged to the Benetton. It should be noted that the purchase of Atlantia was developed after a strong economic agreement with the subsidiary belonging to Florentino Pérez, the Spanish infrastructure group ACS. The brain that expanded the family business After this misfortune, his surname ran like wildfire on televisions throughout the country, where it was sometimes used as a political tool against them, a circumstance that, according to medical sources, "could have worsened the patient's condition in his last moments. " Michael Schumacher moved to his 30 million villa in Mallorca] Basketball fan, he helped financially the famous team of Treviso, of which he was a fan and did not miss a game. But beyond his devotion to sports, is recognized in the national media for being the brain that expanded the fashion business to fields such as construction or food, daring in 1986 to buy one of the largest holdings of infrastructure that exist in Europe. So that we can get an idea, in the eighties Benetton was already present in 60 countries with more than 4,000 stores, an achievement that no European entrepreneur could even dream of. Currently, after the death of two of the cornerstones of the empire, it remains to know in which direction the green giant will go or what administrative brain will relieve it from the post that was styled with sweat and blood.

There are retirees, artisans, workers, small businesswomen and caregivers. And all from the same origin, rural and deep France. The 'yellow vests' are the first movement of social contestation that succeeds in beating the French president, Emmanuel Macron, who had been intransigent with his plan of reforms. They have different claims, but they are united by three things: they believe that they pay too much taxes, they feel that their impoverishment is galloping and they point to the same culprit of their ills: Macron. "The real problem is Macron. People have developed hatred towards him, I am the first, "says Marine Charrette-Labadie, a 22-year-old unemployed woman. The movement of the 'yellow vests' was born after a video posted on Facebook on October 18, in which Jacline Mouraud, a stranger, denounced the rise in fuel prices that was due to enter into force on January 1. His message quickly went viral and calls to block roads multiplied on social networks. Trump attributes Paris protests to measures against climate change Nearly a thousand arrested in Paris for protesting 'yellow vests' Who are the 'yellow vests' and what did they achieve in France? Who are the 'yellow vests' that generate chaos in France? From this, from November 17, when the first major national protest was called, dozens of 'yellow vests' - named for mandatory reflective garments for drivers - took to the streets. They started with their opposition to an increase in taxes on fuel, but their demands are now higher: rise in the minimum wage, lower pensions and even a change of regime to work with po[CENSORED]r consultations, as in Switzerland. This movement is inscribed in the long French history of social protest. However, it differs by having been born in social networks and the origin of the demonstrators, mostly workers and employees of rural areas. The 'yellow vests' organize their actions on social networks. In its first national protest, on November 17, some 300,000 people left to march throughout the country. The protests have continued since then, with roadblocks and fuel deposits, which caused a shortage of gasoline. On November 24, 166,000 people protested and 136,000 did so on December 1, of which 8,000 protested in Paris. The marches reached their peak in the French capital, where there were violent clashes between protesters and police on the famous Avenue des Champs-Elysees, as well as looting in some of the most prestigious districts of the capital, with a balance of over 400 detainees. On Saturday, December 1, the third great day resulted in violent incidents in several cities of France, especially in Paris, where scenes of violence took place in the Arc de Triomphe and in several well-off neighborhoods. There is a third mortal victim. Some 136,000 fewer protesters than the previous Saturday participated throughout the country, and there were 370 arrests. The real problem is Macron. People have developed a hatred towards him, I the first This Saturday, the situation was not different. The detention of almost 1,400 people in France - of them, more than 900 in Paris - and the strategy of a police emergency device allowed to limit the size of the disturbances, but there were scenes of burning cars and shops and restaurants looted and destroyed. According to the authorities, about 125,000 'yellow vests' came out to protest and felt less violence than previous days. Now it is expected that President Macron will provide elements for this dialogue as a positive reaction, after the silence he has maintained this week. The French Prime Minister, Édouard Philippe, announced in the past days the suspension for six months of the increase in taxes on fuels, but the next day the increase was completely annulled; however, this is not enough for the 'yellow vests'. The country is on red alert because of the violent reactions the protesters have had. Monuments of Paris such as the Arc de Triomphe, considered a cultural heritage, suffered damage. Dozens of cars were burned, shops ransacked and luxury houses and cafeterias destroyed in the capital. Fearing this violence, the six matches of the French soccer league have been suspended since Friday. In addition, several Parisian museums, such as the Louvre and the Grand Palais; the two opera venues, many shops around the Champs Elysees and the iconic Eiffel Tower closed yesterday as a security measure. The protests of the 'yellow vests' have had a contagious effect and have expanded in other sectors, mainly among the students. Around 200 secondary schools and schools, as well as some universities, were blocked or affected throughout France. Students protest against a reform of the baccalaureate and access to universities. The image of the French president has also been affected. Macron, who came to power after a meteoric rise, presented himself as a "reformer" who had promised to transform France. But a part of the opinion considers that its policy is unjust; He is perceived as an "arrogant" man who does not listen to the people. Its po[CENSORED]rity has fallen to historic lows. Only 23 percent of the French approve their management. Now, several analysts question his ability to carry out the reforms he promised for his term, such as retirement pension, which is key. The proposal for an increase in a gasoline tax for 2019 was presented by the authorities as a way to fight against pollution. This concession is a hard blow for environmentalists, who denounce that the environment is the big loser in this crisis. Secretary General of the White House, John Kelly, will leave his post Trump attributes Paris protests to measures against climate change Huawei's financial director faces charges of fraud in the US UU What awaits the Government Prime Minister Philippe met with a delegation of "yellow jackets" considered moderate who have distanced themselves from the violence and demanded the intervention of President Macron, with concrete and rapid measures, especially to improve purchasing power. "The president has to take into account everything we have said," said Jacline Mouraud, one of the spokespersons and who posted the video on Facebook with which the movement began. Mouraud considered that the prime minister had listened to them and taken note of their demands: "Now we wait for the word of the president". In the same vein, Benjamin Cauchy, another member of the delegation, insisted that "it is time for the president of the republic to assume his responsibilities and speak quickly."

This precursor of the crossover is updated in terms of design and connectivity, in order to stay current in such a competitive market. In order not to give ground to its main rival (Ford Edge) and prepare for the arrival of new proposals (Chevrolet Blazer or Honda Passport, for example), the Japanese house presented the update of the Nissan Murano at the Los Angeles Autoshow 2018, whose current generation already has a few years in the market. The changes are quite subtle in the body and go through a refreshed front, with chrome accents and more aggressive strokes, which add to the LED lighting present in the headlights and scouts. Additionally, the design of the stops was modified and various elements were accentuated on the outside, in order to give it a more sporty appearance. Nissan points out that the Murano 2020 also registers novelties at the level of customization, as there are new wheels of 18 or 20 inches, option to have leather upholstery, metal sconces, light wood or dark wood, contrast finish for seats, console and armrest and three new colors: Sunset Drift Chromaflair, Mocha Almond Pearl and Deep Blue Pearl. An important update of the Nissan Murano 2020 is related to connectivity, as the Nissan Connect interface comes with an enhanced GPS navigator with 3D graphics, satellite images and real-time traffic information. The manufacturer indicates that depending on the level of equipment of the Nissan Murano (S, SV, SL and Platinum), it will be possible to incorporate the Safety Shield 360 package, which includes the automatic emergency braking system with pedestrian detection, blind spot warning , cross traffic alert, lane departure warning, high light assistant and automatic reverse braking. For the rest there are no other developments in this crossover and the well-known 3.5-liter V6 atmospheric engine, which produces 260 horsepower and is managed by the Xtronic CVT continuous-drive box, remains in force. Depending on the level of equipment, the Nissan Murano 2020 can be ordered with front-wheel drive or permanent total on all four wheels.

The star copied the outfit of her stylist, Elizabeth Stewart, as a way to honor her in some awards that brought together the flower and cream of the movie mecca This Monday night, Hollywood returned to live one of those gala nights that bring together the cream and cream of the world of entertainment. Many were the celebrities who paraded through the red carpet of the awards given by the magazine 'InStyle'. The most striking was, surely, a Julia Roberts who wanted to emulate her stylist, Elizabeth Stewart, dressing exactly like her. When the graphic journalists saw the protagonist of 'Pretty Woman' dressed in pink and posing next to a Stewart who looked like her twin sister, they could not believe what they saw. The outfit was composed of a lavender shirt and a pink suit suit jacket that the two women accompanied by white sneakers and exactly the same glasses. The only difference was in the bag: Roberts' was blue and his stylist's was almost purple. So funny was the photocopy of the star and her stylist that the two posed holding hands as if they were the very twins of the movie 'The Shining'. Both Roberts and Stewart were honored by the fashion magazine at the party that was held at the Getty Museum in Los Angeles. The actress received the award as an icon of style and the stylist was named stylist of the year. Elizabeth Stewart's clients also include actresses as in vogue as Cate Blanchett, Jessica Chastain or Viola Davis. This year, Julia Roberts has more than enough reasons to show off that smile that has become her hallmark. This month of November premieres 'Homecoming', an Amazon Prime miniseries based on a well-known podcast of the same title. Her name also sounds like one of those who will be present in the category of best actress in the next Oscars thanks to her character of mother courage in 'The Return of Ben'. At 50, in pink or any color, Julia Roberts is still that girlfriend of America adored by (almost) everyone.

A notorious redesign, improved connectivity and automatic transmission of ten changes for the SS version are some of the novelties of this sport. After the update of the Ford Mustang, its eternal rival, it was only a matter of time before General Motors announced the arrival in the country of the renewed 2019 Chevrolet Camaro, which is offered in SS and ZL1 versions. It is worth remembering that the current generation of this muscle-car (the sixth) was presented internationally in 2015.

This shape is also replicated in the plate holder and the set is complemented with newly designed wheels, while several body folds are now more marked (such as the bonnet, for example) to give a more aggressive appearance. In the cabin, the main novelty is that the touch screen that serves to manage the MyLink interface has been improved and now also includes the HD rear view camera, whose image is projected in the central mirror. Also comes as standard a sound system with nine speakers, Head-Up Display and multiple driving assistants.

The couple of Cristiano Ronaldo is becoming one of the characters that play the most in social networks. Now thanks to his new hair color Since Georgina Rodríguez left Spain she seems to have decided to let her hair down (even more), like that remembered song by Hombres G. And not only, let it go, also radically change color. If Cristiano Ronaldo's signature was his dark brown hair, now he has decided to be blonde, with a touch close to platinum, which, judging from the comments he's receiving on his Instagram profile, including the one from Your sister, has been a success. To present this new look has also resorted to a 'very hot' style. From top to bottom: a very long-sleeved sweater, some tight vinyl pants (which show how hard he works in the gym, although we already know from his Instagram profile), a backpack and sandals with very high heels, they make him see the world from another perspective ... He could be a perfectly 'Bond girl, ready to kill'. Georgina, who is one of the celebrities with an Instagram more full of surprises than Carmen Lomana's couture wardrobes, has pronounced herself on her change of look. And it could not have been more eloquent: "I went crazy, I turned blonde." Can we say that, like Madonna, is now 'blond ambition'? Possibly, but, according to his words, it may be something occasional and it is very likely that soon we will see her again with her usual hair color, but we must applaud her for daring to experiment and have fun. You may wonder why we title this article alluding to the Kardashian. We are not the first nor will we be the last. For a long time, the model has been compared to this American saga whose life is followed by millions of people around the world. In that family there has been a certain predilection to switch to platinum blonde from time to time ... But this is not the only fact on which we rely to make an affirmation of this kind. It only takes a look through the images of Georgina Rodríguez in the aforementioned social network to reach that conclusion: her preference for the transparencies, the very fitted clothes, the poses that emphasize her hips and her 'derriere' make us remember especially Kim Kardashian. Be that as it may, it is to applaud that Georgina enjoys her physique, that she takes advantage of the trends and styles that she wants and, above all, that she shares it with us.

On a roof in Medellin, in 1993, the body was obese and bloody of the great Colombian cocaine boss as a trophy of good over evil. But the legend and influence of Pablo Escobar complete 25 years and nobody ventures an end. Cursed with fervor, accepted with shame but never ignored, the baron of drugs, which left thousands of victims, became a cultural phenomenon that crosses and passes through Colombia. Its trace can be traced in the language of the neighborhood, in art and entertainment. And although drug trafficking continued without him (Colombia is still the world's largest producer of cocaine and the United States its main client), several things changed forever after Escobar. The narcogender A genius of evil, a po[CENSORED]r villain, a collective identity ... phrases and adjectives abound to describe Escobar, but perhaps nothing explains his influence better than a prefix: narco. If you are interested in this topic, enter here: The cultural schizophrenia that Pablo Escobar bequeathed With Escobar, its use became po[CENSORED]r. Narco-soap, narco-politics, narcomúsica and "la sicaresca" (stories of hit men like those hired by the drug trafficker in Medellín neighborhoods) emerged. First of all, Pablo is a "narrative idol, a life like his is better than the movies, literature and television that we imagine," says Omar Rincón, academic and researcher of narcoculture at the University of Los Andes. . Fernando Botero immortalized him in oils, the Nobel Gabriel García Márquez did it in "News of a kidnapping" and even Netflix takes advantage of him in his series Narcos. From the wife to the son, to the brother and his most famous lover, they have written their memoirs with the capo. Also the policemen who fought him. If you were interested in this topic, enter here: Pablo Escobar killed his own image All Colombians - and not a few Americans - have something to say about Pablo. It is "Colombia brand, it makes us proud, it makes us laugh, it gives us shame and shame, it gave us an international identity", adds Rincón. The "Da Vinci del crimen," as one of its victims called it, former Vice President Francisco Santos, kidnapped by the Medellín cartel, was merged with the Colombian's imaginary. Hypersecurity An inspection at the entrance to a shopping center, a policeman armed as a soldier, shopping with fear ... Only between September and December 1989, the Medellin Cartel that Escobar led until his death, detonated one hundred car bombs. An airplane, a hotel, a newspaper, a pharmacy, a street. Any space could be the target of the boss's obsession with dynamite in his war against the state and its rivals. Not less than 3,000 deaths are endorsed to their terror account. Fear took hold of daily life and a quarter of a century later, many of the protocols adopted since then to protect themselves from their excessive fury persist. "The security companies began to provide dogs and electronic means to detect explosives in cars, entering a shopping center was almost more inconvenient than entering a military barracks," retired Colonel Carlos Alfonso Velásquez, told AFP. He led the persecution against the Cali Cartel, Escobar's enemies in drug trafficking. So powerful was the enemy, that the police and the army had to leave the institutional suspicions and "reach the first levels of cooperation," evokes the reserve general of the Jairo Delgado police. Twenty-five years ago, 90,000 people worked in private security. Today around 250,000, according to the superintendency that regulates the sector. The escorts are part of the landscape. Private security ended up becoming fashionable, experts agree. The extravagance A plane embedded in the portal of a farm, hippos and giraffes brought from the United States and Africa, cars and weapons tuned, noise parties with models operated. The extravagant taste of Escobar - who began his criminal life as a petty thief and smuggler of merchandise - did not just settle in the mafia. Even the "motels where people are going to make love keep that aesthetic 'traqueta' (of narco) that permeated in the 80s," says Fabián Sanabria, an anthropologist and researcher at the National University. Pablo Escobar embodied a unique way of promotion and "social revenge for the poor", who gave "houses, taxis, jobs, money, jewelry, party, music, sex," completes Rincón. It was the pawn that became a patron at the point of wit and violence. Today, moving in a 4X4 truck, wearing the shirt open to the third button, putting on a gold chain, having a 90-60-90 woman next to it, with dyed and operated hair, are associated with a sudden bonanza. According to Sanabria, this aesthetic is in the reigns, the soccer players and among those who "ascend vertiginously and pass over the law". "As Colombia had García Márquez, he also had Pablo Escobar and we have to accept the one and the other," he says.

What you are seeing is specifically the Mercedes-AMG GT R Pro, which takes the technology of the AMG GT3 and GT4 and takes it to the street. With respect to the AMG GT to dry, the R Pro has modifications in the bodywork and aerodynamics that give it a more plumb and wide. It also has a strong weight reduction and the inclusion of an anti-roll cage. This reduction in weight is achieved with several carbon fiber attachments, removing all the insulating material from the passenger compartment and the infotainment system, so forget comfort and soundproofing. In the mechanics, it is very interesting, since behind its exclusive gray 5-spoke wheels from AMG Performance we have ceramic brakes and an adjustable suspension both in its stiffness and in the rebound, as well as a front torsion bar in carbon fiber. which is also adjustable. If you like the irons seriously, you will be able to configure this car for each circuit as in a professional team.

The British actress not only reaps successes in the professional field: after her break with Chord Overstreet, she has decided to turn the page with Brendan Wallace, 35-year-old magnate Until last year, seeing Emma Watson was a constant reminder of the curly hair of Hermione Granger. The British actress of 28 years has charged for more than a decade with the (glorious) sambenito have belonged to one of the most po[CENSORED]r sagas of cinema, Harry Potter. But in 2017 it gave an unprecedented blow of effect when positioning at the box office two antagonistic blockbusters such as 'The Circle' and 'Beauty and the Beast'. This last film with a collection exceeding one trillion dollars, opaque 'Regression', the restrained and little-talked about work of 2015 with Alejandro Amenábar. Thus, she became one of the most important interpreters in the industry and decided to give an active voice to the feminist movement. This was the new Emma Watson, whether you liked it or not. In the love field is where the girl has wavered a little more. After two years with William Knight, an important businessman and computer scientist, he tried his luck with Chord Overstreet, an actor known for his role in 'Glee'. The affair would only last six months. After his last disagreement, in June of this year, he met his new and handsome partner, Brendan Wallace. Nothing to do with the previous ones. Currently, she rolls the new remake of 'Little Women', whose release date is still unknown; he runs the mobile application Cabify, of which he is a co-founder. And it is that the curriculum of the boy can not be more effective: after graduating from Princeton University, he made a specialization in the Stanford faculty, to later become part of Goldman Sachs. From there, it would quickly scale up to the private sector to end up being a co-founder of the aforementioned app. He also leads Fifth Wall, an investment company that brings him an important benefit. It seems that success calls for success, or something like this must have happened when these two prodigies (and millionaires) referring to their respective professions decided to have such an appointment in the Aztec country. There, by the way, nobody seemed to recognize them, and it is that who will imagine that Watson, accustomed to epatar to the fashion magazines in their red carpets, would be taking a ceviche in the next table. Luckily, naturalness is not at odds with the wealthy.

A soccer referee, Álvaro Ortega, and an announcer, Miriam Naza, were two of the victims in the Caribbean region of the drug lord. After 25 years of his death, there is no official figure of the assassinations attributed to Pablo Emilio Escobar Gaviria, head of the Medellin Cartel who was killed on December 2, 1993. His son Sebastián Marroquín estimates 3,000 homicides ordered by his father. The police calculates at 5,500. But the number may be higher and includes policemen, journalists, judges, soccer referees and presidential candidates, among others. Among those victims are the Bolivarian official Alvaro Ortega, murdered by assassins in the middle of Medellin in November 1989, when he was walking with a colleague, the Barranquillero Jesús Díaz. Ortega, married to Betty Barrios, left two daughters, Monica and Lorena. His family, 29 years later, maintains that everything went unpunished. Nobody responded for this murder that forced, for the first time in the country, to suspend the professional soccer tournament. Another victim was Miriam Naza Guzmán, Barranquillera journalist, who died in Medellin after a car bomb exploded attributed to the drug lord. Twenty-five years after the death of Escobar, these are his testimonies. Jesús Chucho Díaz had ten years as referee of Colombian professional soccer when he decided to retire. "Pablo Escobar made me abandon what I was most passionate about," recalls the Barranquilla whistle after 25 years of the death of the feared drug lord. On November 15, 1989, Jesús Díaz had been designated to be in the match between Medellín and América de Cali, at Atanasio Girardot, as well as his super friend Álvaro Ortega. Chucho remembers as a film everything that happened that day, when he was walking through the Center of Medellín with Álvaro, and a few steps from the traditional hotel Nutibara there was an attack against the Bolivarian referee born in the village of El Roble, municipality of Guamo. Ortega had been the central point of the one-way confrontation at the Pascual Guerrero in the capital of Valle. The 'Red Devils' won 3-2, Álvaro, with three minutes left until the end, he annulled a 'half volley' goal to Carlos Castro, from Poderoso de la Montaña. That decision bothered Pablo Escobar, who ordered the coastal whistle to be killed, as reported by alias Popeye, deputy of Escobar Gaviria. "I told Alvaro not to accept going to Medellin after that confrontation. I predicted that the only thing that Colombia lacked was the assassination of a referee. Unfortunately I was not wrong, "says Díaz. La Dimayor chose Orlando Reyes from Bogotá as the central defender, Ortega, line 1 judge and Díaz as the two for the one-way confrontation. he wounds left by Pablo Escobar in Bolívar 29 years after the assassination of Bolivarian referee Álvaro Ortega Madero at the hands of assassins in the service of the head of the Medellín cartel, Pablo Emilio Escobar Gaviria, his family in Cartagena, Barranquilla and Lima (Peru) believe that the time has come to remove the case , tell some truths and make football pay for that death. After the death of the most famous drug trafficker in the world, 25 years ago, the memories of his crimes in the Heroica always end up being in sport and the murder that destroyed the heart of the Ortega Barrios and Ortega Madero family and destroyed the national football, to the point that in 1989 was the only year in the history of Colombian soccer in which there was no champion after the President of the Dimayor, Alex Gorayeb, announced to the country, seven days after the assassination of Ortega, the suspension of the championship on November 22, 1989. "Those who made the arbitration appointments, I'm almost sure, sold my brother to the mafia," he told EL HERALDO Egel Ortega Madero, who by the time of his brother's murder was 23 years old. "How can one explain that on October 26 my brother is practically sentenced by Pablo Escobar for annulling a goal to Medellin for an infringement inside the area in a correct manner (went to forward Carlos Castro) and before a month he is designated to return to integrate the arbitration body for that same party, but in Medellín. That does not leave anyone an alternative to think something different. If today an arbitrator is not appointed for a prudent time after having some controversial action or is not assigned to direct a certain team by request. My brother was given these people so that Escobar could kill him, "he said. For the widow of Ortega Madero, Betty Barrios, her daughters, Monica and Lorena, as the rest of their relatives in Cartagena have been 29 years of suffering in silence, no one has asked them how they did to get ahead, how they did to continue their lives with the emptiness left by his father, that is why they believe that the time has come for football to pay for that life that was lost. "At the time, some gifts were offered that the family considered were not appropriate. The dignity and honor of my brother were not, nor are they negotiable, but today we see that soccer has been enriched, there are a kind of benefits that never came to my sister-in-law's family and my nieces. Betty (the widow) is a single mother, she had to raise her two daughters alone, both are professionals (Monica studied cosmetology, lives in Barranquilla, has two children, and Lorena is a social communicator and because of her work she lives in Lima), they never they received only one benefit from the Dimayor or the Federation. A house was offered in the Ciudadela neighborhood when Álvaro and his family lived in the Boston neighborhood of Barranquilla and considered that the change would not benefit the education of 3 and 5 year old girls at the time. Today, all of his relatives have studied the situation and we are going to sue the Colombian Football Federation and the Dimayor, "he announced. Because of the death of Álvaro Ortega, the Colombian justice never issued a conviction; the confession of alias Popeye, head of sicarios of the Medellin Cartel, referring to Escobar's order to assassinate Ortega Madero, is the only truth after 29 years.

The actress celebrates three decades and we review her style and her unstoppable career. Why did he triumph more than the rest of his classmates It was the year 2009 when Blanca Suárez was seen in some parties held during the days of the Malaga Festival. At that time, he was one of the most outstanding members of the 'Internship generation'. Next to her, some very young Martiño Rivas, Yon González, Ana de Armas and Elena Furiase were laughing, dancing and strolling on the red carpet. In that edition, all of them shared the limelight with a generation that came close on their heels: the stars of 'Physics or chemistry'. Almost ten years later things have changed and it is Blanca who has stood out the most (if we leave aside the Ana de Armas that ended up in the sequel to 'Blade Runner' or the Javi Calvo who directs 'La llamada') of them all . This Sunday, the actress turns 30 and her followers count by thousands. The protagonist of 'Las chicas del cable' is a kind of Penelope Cruz for everyone. Like that of Alcobendas, it possesses sensuality, carnality and perch to draw the attention of the spotlights and the camera. Right: she has not come to Hollywood or won an Oscar. However, when your name appears in a production, entertainment is assured. This is certified by the first series of Netflix produced in our country, which is already in the third season despite the bad reviews that called it a simple soap opera. You can not have a complaint in the cinema either. The actress has chained projects such as 'Brain drain', 'Losing the north' or 'The bar'. Black comedies or gamberras in most of the occasions, although it has also had its share of auteur cinema thanks to 'La piel que habito' by Almodóvar. However, there is still the feeling that his great protagonist in cinema is coming. On television the producers raffle it. Those who discuss their interpretive work should be taught the audience that got 'What hid their eyes', where he played Sonsoles de Icaza, or the alleged good data of 'The girls of the cable' (we know that Netflix does not provide data about). Regarding his style, motley would be the best word to define it. We have seen Blanca Suarez with all kinds of hairstyles, all kinds of hair colors and all kinds of outfits. Just a few months ago he was showing straight hair and blond highlights in a photo shoot in which he wore jeans and a leather jacket. Just a few months before, he appeared in an advertisement with a significant platinum blond that suited him like a glove.
