As we sat at a table for dinner in Yamaha's hospitality unit at Valencia [2008], where we planned to pick up from where we'd last left his biography, I realised that there was nobody left from the group of people with whom I had worked so closely last time around. There was no Dani Amatriaín, his manager for ten years; no Pere-Gurt, his former director of communications; even his old friend, Dani Palau, wasn't there. They had all made way for a new inner circle, headed by Marcos Hirsch, his physical trainer and now his manager. Héctor Martín, who was signed up by Amatriaín as Jorge's press officer, was now in charge of all his press and PR activities while the renowned lawyer Ramón Sostres, who works for a host of top-level Spanish international footballers, had been hired as his new legal advisor.
Lap by lap Dani [Amatriaín] began to realise he was watching one of them more than the others - a tiny kid who rode differently to everybody else. He didn't know it yet, but what Dani saw from trackside that day was a glimpse into the future. 'More than his speed, he caught my attention by the way he took the corners. It was as if he'd been doing it his whole life - like a professional.' It is now the end of 2007 and he closes his eyes to remember a moment that clearly holds a special place in his memory. You just know that he could describe every second of it. 'I was curious to see who this kid was, so I took the trouble to go to his box.' It was there that Dani would meet one of the key characters in this story - Jorge's father, Chicho Lorenzo. 'I asked him about his rider. I told him he'd caught my attention and I wanted to meet him. His father called him and he came out.' It was love at first sight, although they wouldn't realise that until much later. 'I remember it as if it was yesterday,' continues Dani. 'He was an unusual, curious character. His head was shaved, apart from a Mohican and two stars. His father said, " This is Dani Amatriaín." [Jorge] looked at me with distrust. He had no idea who I was.' But their story together had begun because this little ten year old, with his skill and attitude, had made such a major impact on one of the leading talent-spotters in Spain.
A month after that first meeting Chicho Lorenzo travelled to Barcelona, where Dani was in charge of a school for mechanics called Monlau. While Jorge might not have known at Jerez how important this person was, his father certainly did, and he also knew how crucial his interest could turn out to be. Chicho wanted Jorge to go on competing in the Copa Aprilia but he was in dire financial straits. 'I've brought him this far,' Chicho told Dani. 'From here I don't have the means to take him further. Is there anything we can do?' Sincerity and candour, a Lorenzo trademark. At that time Amatriaín already had ten or eleven riders competing in the CEV, European Championships and Grands Prix. 'I couldn't give him the support he deserved,' recalls Dani. 'It was really difficult for me and I had no choice but to say no.' Lorenzo's fledgling career was on the point of ending before it had begun, but Chicho was not, and is not, the kind of guy who accepts defeat. Dani's words would have been heartbreaking to anybody else, but Chicho refused to leave Barcelona without making one final attempt. As they said goodbye he handed Dani a videotape. 'Please, just watch this. So that you can see how we ride in Mallorca.' With that he left, confident in the knowledge that the sight of Jorge in action would be enough for Dani to take those crushing words back.
Jorge's father, who had seen the reaction his son's riding provoked among bystanders back home in Palma de Mallorca, was not wrong. The first thing Amatriaín did when he arrived home was load the tape into his VCR. His wife had his dinner ready on the table and was angry that he walked straight past it to the video recorder, but Dani's curiosity had got the better of his manners. 'I couldn't believe what I was seeing. The way he rode, how he slid the bike around. I was surprised by his audacity, his temperament, the way he controlled the bike and the way it was all so natural. He was so small that it was surprising to see him ride like that. And his stare... he already had the stare of a champion.' The video already forms part of Lorenzo legend and is something anybody close to him pinpoints as a key moment in his discovery. The first time I asked Pere Gurt when and how he'd come across Jorge he told me: 'I'll start by telling you about the first time I heard anybody talk about him. Dani told me he'd seen a video of this incredible kid. I remember he told me he'd discovered a bomb waiting to explode - a rough diamond.'
Chicho Lorenzo spotted his son's ability on two wheels when the child was only three and immediately started grooming him for greatness. He removed the brakes from Jorge's bike to force him to learn to stop it by skidding sideways, won him a place with Dani Amatriain, one of Spain's top team managers, and later withdrew him from school early so that the boy could focus on racing.
Dani Amatriaín lives for racing, and his experience and natural instmct for recognising talent drew him instantly to the screen, riveted by the image of a midget riding like a professional. From that day he made Jorge one of his pupils and always had him marked out as one of his favourites. Through Jorge, Dani envisioned the resurrection of an old dream and the quest to fulfil that dream became his life. His deepest professional desire had been to find a kid with raw talent and teach him from scratch - to train him as a rider and as a person, coaching him through every level of competition until that great promise was realised in the form of a great champion. 'I always thought that when I found a rider like that, who had all the natural attributes, everything else could be worked on.'
At Jerez Dani had already seen that this kid was different from the rest and now he could begin to witness it first hand. They would go to a circuit and Dani would take a 600, with Jorge following behind on a 50. 'I was virtually drooling because it was like having a professional behind me. Then I'd let him pass and I'd follow him from behind so that I could watch him and I realised that he'd picked up absolutely everything. He was like a sponge! I had to stop because he was getting faster and faster and I was worried he might hurt himself.'
Chicho Lorenzo had dug a diamond from the mine and delivered it - now it needed an expert jeweller to work on it. Despite his own obvious natural talent for riding and his vast experience, the first reality faced by Amatriaín was that this was going to be a difficult job - as difficult as the character of a World Champion. But Dani wanted to take it on and he committed himself to it with great conviction. Jorge came into his life as a challenge; he showed signs of being a thoroughbred racer and Dani backed him strongly, so convinced of his talent that he gave the youngster his own lucky number, 48. It was the number Amatriaín had always worn when he raced, during the late 1980s and early 1990s. It was a small detail but one designed to tell the world that Jorge was his great hope. Apart from 2007, when Lorenzo sported the number 1 plate as 250cc World Champion, Jorge stuck with 48 in tribute to his sporting father figure until the end of the 2008 season, when he'd brought their professional and personal relationship to an end. Indeed, as will become clear over the course of this book, the fact he discarded that number in favour of 99 for the 2009 season was just as significant a decision as it was to use the number 48 in the first place.
It was an amazing change compared to the Jorge of 2002. That was the year he was introduced to his personal trainer, Marcos Hirsch. They'd arranged to meet in the Flash-Flash restaurant in Barcelona with Dani Amatriaín, who had also been trained by Marcos. Hirsch arrived to find Jorge sitting on a sofa, his feet hovering inches above the floor. 'One day this guy will be a great champion ... if we can sort him out,' declared Dani, with his hand proudly gripping little Jorge's shoulder.
But a split developed between Chicho and Amatriain in 2006, when the latter wanted to fire a sports psychologist favoured by the former. Beset by conflicting advice, Lorenzo stopped winning races in the 250cc world championship and began to crash frequently.
It was time to make a choice. On one side were his father Chicho, his girlfriend Eva and his psychologist Joaquin Dosil. On the other were his colleagues and friends Dani Amatriaín and Marcos Hirsch. A group of people once united in the Jorge Lorenzo cause had been split down the middle by a clash of criteria. The unusual thing about cases like this is that both parties involved in the conflict had the common objective of Jorge's well-being but the crux of the matter was that there were many different ways to approach and achieve it. The approach, in particular, had to be one that suited the rider, who was no longer a child and needed to make his own decisions about how to solve dilemmas. He needed to make a choice with those closest to him - but who was closest to him? Which side should he go with? [...] The lowest point came, after the French Grand Prix. Dani Amatriaín, the man who had guided him every step of the way since he was ten, was concerned and felt under mounting pressure. He told Jorge: 'I don't want to work with a rider who keeps falling off and is running the risk of hurting himself, seriously hurting himself. Stop for a moment, think, reflect. This cannot continue. I don't want you to kill yourself on the track.'
He had to choose sides – and went with Amatriain. His father demanded money in return for what he had invested in his son, and Lorenzo asked him to keep away from grand prix tracks. The rift continues, although in a subdued form.
So Jorge made the decision to go with his friends. Everybody wanted the best for him, of course, but only Marcos Hirsch and Dani Amatriaín knew how to achieve it. 'I had no choice, I couldn't say no,' remembers Jorge. 'I had to cut myself free from everything. Only they could pull me out of the hole. "If you want to be World Champion, you have to leave everything behind," they told me. "Trust us." It was really hard because I loved my girlfriend like crazy! And my father, too.' [...] On top of the exercises in mental preparation, the relaxation and the late nights in Barcelona, chatting with Jorge to calm him and remove anxiety from his life, an important new rule was introduced into his routine at Mugello. Every Wednesday, when he arrived at the circuit, he would hand over his mobile phones to Dani Amatriaín- and he wouldn't get them back until Monday. There would be no laptop computer either. He would spend the five days of a Grand Prix completely detached from the outside world, where the racket had become so deafening and distracting.
Marcos took me to Las Ramblas Avenue for a walk and we started talking about what we would do. And he told me. "Either you end this whole situation and get rid of your father, Dosil and Eva and you give me your mobiles on Wednesdays when you fly and I'll bring them back to you on Mondays, or I am done with you".
"You have to break up with your girlfriend Eva because your father is using her to send you messages." Enough is enough! Then Dosil disappeared, Chicho disappeared and Eva disappeared.
The following is an extract from an article published in Diario de Mallorca [in 2006] [...] The father of Mallorcan motorcycle racer Jorge Lorenzo has declared war on his manager, Dani Amatriaín. [...] 'I've been left without a job and without a son, because at the moment he is no son of mine. I am hopeful the same thing happens to him that happens to all sons. That he values everything I have done for him,' says Chicho Lorenzo, who says he hasn't spoken to Jorge for eleven days. He also points the finger at Amatriaín: 'He's his manager and the boss of the team, which are two conflicting jobs. As a director he's already taking 20 per cent, plus the percentage he takes as an agent, but it's not about what he earns. I don't know where my son's money is and it is not normal that the parents of a 19-year-old boy don't know that. We don't know what kind of contract he has with Aprilia ... I wish I'd have looked after the money myself. That way I'd know now that it is all for him. The number of cases where an agent has fleeced a sportsman is incalculable.
The 19-year-old rider from Mallorca has released a statement requesting the closure of 'a catalogue of false claims that, regrettably, have been made public’ and respect for his 'private life, with the attention turned to my career as a professional and a sportsman. Anything that happens in my private life will never be allowed to interfere with my career.' The Mallorcan added: 'My life as a sportsman is completely separate and it is, and always will be, directed by a group of professionals who have my complete trust. '
'Daniel Amatriaín brings charges against the father of Jorge Lorenzo' ‘...the kind of personal comments he has made need to be dealt with in court, where I have already appeared in defence of my honour as a person and a professional' The press release goes on to thank 'certain sections of the media for the invitation to contest some of the humiliating accusations about my person and my professional attitude, which have been published recently'.
JL: To be separated from your son after 18 years together, training him... But he brought it on himself because he didn't want me to continue with Dani [Amatriaín]. If he'd have got on better with Dani, he'd still be here now, but that's the way he is. It's all or nothing with him and when he gets really angry you can't calm him down.
Exactly what the pair meant to each other - Dani to Jorge and vice versa - was best described by Jordi Perez, team co-ordinator for Fortuna Aprilia, at the end of 2007. 'Other than his parents, the most important person in Jorge's life has been Dani. He put his life on one side so that Jorge would not want for anything. He gave up everything for him - not in a material sense but in terms of the affection he has shown him. Before giving Jorge bad advice he'd rather take it on himself.'
'The problem with Dani Amatriaín started in 2007,' begins Jorge. 'Things I can't really specify through good manners and because they're in the hands of the courts. But basically I was very worried and I started to talk about it with Marcos in the gym. ‘What am I going to do with my life?' I'd ask him. I must say that I used to talk about it without giving it too much importance and without really thinking seriously about it because I couldn't imagine my future without Dani. But at that time, aside from the personal problem with him, I started to realise how much money I was missing and I started to get angry about it. The first thing that came into my head, because I still had a contract with him and it was out of order to just go up to him and say it was over, was to tell him that I still wanted to continue with him as my manager, because he did a good job with the sponsors, but that from now on I didn't want him to look after my financial affairs because I couldn't trust him. Marcos and I decided to change lawyers and get somebody else to look after the money. We chose Ramon Sostres.'
During the month of September 2008 Jorge's relationship with his lifelong manager, Dani Amatriaín began to splinter. Once again, people associated his problems on the track with his personal circumstances off it, allegations Jorge denies. 'My problems away from the track had nothing to do with my crashes,' he insists. 'From a sentimental point of view I wasn't affected at all by what was happening. I had started to see things I didn't like, strange things, but I had so much confidence in this person that I never imagined the things that were going on could happen. Practically right up until the split, until the final month, I still had complete faith in him. I wasn't worried. The crashes were simply a result of me trying to do more than I could with what I had underneath me rather than my concerns about what was going on around me.' Not everybody who was aware of what was going on at the time subscribes to Jorge's version of it. At the end of the day, we are all human. 'I think that the split with Dani has made Jorge more relaxed,' says Hector Martin. 'In my opinion, the crash at Laguna Seca was related to problems that were going on off the track. I am convinced of it. The ones at China, Le Mans and Catalunya weren't, but Laguna Seca was. There came a moment, 5 September to be exact, when he split from Dani, face to face in Alella, and he changed his "chip". By the tenth of that month, when he was sent a fax from Las Vegas legally confirming the end of their professional relationship, he was completely liberated.'
'We came up with a plan of how we were going to tell Dani,' Jorge starts up again. 'It was after the Czech Grand Prix at Brno. I could tell he didn't like it but he knew that if he got shirty then it was all over, so he half accepted it. In fact, he said that being honest he wasn't sure he could continue being of use to me in the future, "so it is better that we leave it", he told me. But I said no because he was still doing a good job. I told him to be clear that I only wanted a change of lawyer. Unfortunately things showed no sign of improving and I came to the conclusion that I was going to lose all of my money if I didn't hurry up and break up with him. So after Misano we had another meeting and I told him definitively that we weren't going to continue.' Jorge takes a longer pause than the previous one, breaks into a smile and says: 'So I do remember everything, hey? I thought I'd forgotten it all.' He picks up exactly where he left off. 'He knew when I called him for a meeting that I was going to break up because I suppose somebody he knows would have told him. When I saw him speeding up to me in his Porsche I knew not to expect a good reaction. I was scared because I thought he might flip out and try and hit me, or that he might have brought some heavy with him like the one he brought to Misano. I had to go on my own because if Marcos had come it would have got messy. Anyway, surprisingly, he accepted it, he didn't get mad. The crazy thing was that, even though we had officially split up, he travelled to America for the next race at Indianapolis!'
By the tune the Indianapolis GP came around word had spread among the international press that their relationship had ended. However, Dani Amatriaín acted as if nothing had happened. In fact, he invited the Spanish press to dinner and just when they expected him to announce the break-up Dani stood up and thanked everybody for coming. And that was it! Meal over! 'During practice on Friday Dani wanted to make it look as if nothing had happened and he asked if he could stand in the garage for the sake of his image,' recalls Jorge. 'It was pretty heavy because I'd be getting off the bike and going to speak to Ramon Forcada and I could see him there in the box staring at me with this look of intense hate. It made it really difficult for me to concentrate. Hector Martin steps in. 'I was trying to put myself in Jorge's line of vision, to make a screen so that he didn't see Dani. But since the only other person in the garage that knew about it was Lin Jarvis, nobody else understood what was going on.' Jorge continues. 'On the Saturday night of the GP Dani called Hector and asked for a meeting at the hotel. He wanted to make me sign some documents with God knows what on them and I refused to sign anything, obviously. He'd already done the same thing to Hector at the circuit and he'd also been into Carmela Ezpeleta's office and tried stitching him up by asking him to sign something else. It must have been hard for Hector because he doesn't like confrontations, but he had to give him our lawyer's card and tell him that he could no longer speak to us directly - that everything had to go through our lawyer. It made the relationship extremely difficult from that point on, although at least I didn't have to worry about seeing him at the circuits any more because from Valencia 2008 he was [banned] from coming into the paddock.'
'If a man like Valentino Rossi's performances were affected when he had problems with the tax authorities in 2007, how could Jorge's not be?' agrees Javi Ullate. 'What happened to him was like a break-up in a marriage. That would affect anybody.' But the person who was most surprised by what happened, and by Jorge's reaction, despite his vast experience, was Ramon Forcada. 'In real terms he aged a year over the course of 2008 but in terms of maturity he aged a decade. Considering the problems he's had this year he has shown an incredible capacity to shut it all out and concentrate on riding. It was like a thought bypass! Shortly before he would get on the bike you could see that he was troubled, but he would put on his leathers and it was as if he didn't have a care in the world. When the session finished we would chat about what we had to change for the next practice or for the race, and then, you saw the worry creep back onto his face. But he came through it, he rose above it. Indianapolis was the clearest example of that, and the clearest example of him making the bike his own. He had never finished on the podium in a wet race before and he finished third. Plus it would have been second if they hadn't stopped the race!'
Dani Amatriain's team began to dismember some time ago. Brazilian Marcos Hirsch, the driver's physical trainer, acknowledges some disagreements with the manager "two years ago." "I barely have contact with him, but I am like an external collaborator, I am not part of the team or its meetings," says Hirsch, who claims to have found out about the impending Lorenzo-Amatriain divorce "from a Catalan newspaper." "It is now said that Dani was Jorge's discoverer and that is not true; "Jorge's discoverer was his father, Chicho Lorenzo," Hirsch emphasized.
Hirsch: It's also true that he has been unlucky because this period with Amatríain was good on the sporting side... but on the personal side he has suffered a lot.
After there was speculation about the creation of a MotoGP team for Jorge Lorenzo, Dani Amatriain got his pupil to sign for Yamaha, leaving him in the background as the rider's manager. After a very irregular season, in which the first successes in the top category gave way to a carousel of serious falls, Jorge Lorenzo now decides to break with his mentor when he begins to straighten his sporting course after the last two podiums in Italy and USA. Lorenzo, protected by a great team of the stature of Yamaha along with Valentino Rossi, thus breaks with a tutor who was excessively absorbing.
Over the course of 2008, Hector Martin was a first-hand witness to the changes in Jorge's professional and personal life, taking an active role in his development and growth. 'Since the split with Amatriaín he wants to know everything. He gets angry if we don't tell him. He doesn't oversee everything because the wheels are often already in motion, but he wants to know if there's anything going on.' Jorge has taken control of his life and the evidence was there initially in the small details, with his helmet in the final round at Valencia bearing a small inscription that read 'FMT', meaning 'Free Man Team'. For 2009 he changed his number from 48 to 99. The message was clear: Jorge Lorenzo was a free man. 'Now I make the decisions,' he says forcefully. 'I will ask the people around me for advice but I will be free to do what I feel like and what I want. In the past I had my hands tied a bit. A bit no, a lot! Perhaps I could have realised that earlier but life happens the way it happens and the important thing is to react decisively and not to regret the things you can't change.'
In the end I quit with Amatriaín for quite dark and ugly reasons and I started a new adventure... with Marcos as my manager, or as he says, my right-hand person.
So at last Jorge was free, although a lot of things have been left unsaid - 'things that can perhaps be explained in the future or perhaps not, but for the time being they remain in the hands of the judges,' says Jorge. Marcos is keen to pick up the story, but Jorge finishes by adding, 'This year, on the track at least, I didn't think about Dani at all - he never once came into my mind. But when I was at home in Mallorca he called me and threatened me. He told me I was a coward, that I had no balls, that my mother didn't deserve to have such a cowardly son. "I'll get you", things like that. There were a lot of phone calls like that, a lot of messages. The truth is that he's a smart guy and he always knew how to push it to the limit of what is legal, without crossing the line.'
Lorenzo: Perhaps the worst thing, beyond the injuries, was what happened off the track, the whole Amatríain affair... and how he threatened me after I changed to a different manager. It took me a lot of mental strength to cope with that, switch off my private life... head to circuits and ride like nothing had happened.
In December 2008 a judge issued a restraining order and the pressure eased, but Marcos knew what a hard year it had been for Jorge. 'Jorge has forgotten a lot of things because my job was to make him forget them,' he explains. 'In fact, what Dani actually said in those phone calls was much more serious than what he remembers now. I have recordings of all of the phone calls because the lawyers advised me that it would be a good idea to gather as much evidence as possible for the lawsuits. In fact, all of the calls and messages have been transcribed and handed over to a notary for delivery to the court.
We spent the whole year like that — receiving messages, emails, threatening phone calls,' remembers Marcos, 'especially to Jorge, myself and Ramon Sostres, and a few to Hector. We had to cope with it and when Jorge called me all upset and frightened I would tell him to calm down, not to worry. "Let's speak to the lawyers and get them to do something or call the police so that they arrest him!" Jorge would say. The worst thing that happened was one day when we came out of the gym and Jorge was confronted by two heavies standing on either side of his car. There was another standing in the doorway of the hotel and a big black guy riding around the car park on a scooter. We went to get in the car and the guys just stood there, trying to intimidate us. It turns out that that was the day we were going to a meeting with the police in Les Corts [an area of central Barcelona], who I must thank for the impeccable and professional job they did. We set off and we were followed by a car with another guy in it, making out like he was going to ram us from behind. Hector was driving and I was in the passenger seat. I told him, when he had the opportunity, to get into a position where the other car would have to pull up alongside us. At the corner of another street the guy had no choice but to stop on my side of the car. I lowered the window and stared at him. He took off at the next crossroads and we went straight to the police station to inform the inspector in charge of the investigation into our case. After we made our statement we headed back and an unmarked police car followed us, with two of the four agents following our case inside. Sure enough, we head into the hotel and the two thugs are there again, wearing sunglasses, and then Dani Amatrían appears, making out like he's talking on his mobile phone. The agents walk in, ask them for ID and make a note of all of them. That was at the same time that Dani and his gang moved into the hotel. He was there for three or four days trying to join the gym where we train every day but Carles, the owner, told him there was no way because he knew we were training in there and it wasn't a good idea.
After all the bad things I have gone through, deceptions I had suffered with friends and Amatriaín... it will be very difficult for me to trust in anybody 100% again, but I think with the people around me now, I can trust at 99%.
'One Sunday morning I came out of my house to find a knife stuck through a photo of me into the seat of my motorbike,' continues Marcos. 'A few weeks ago he came to my door and stuck up a load of photos of me from an article FHM did about me last year. I know it was him because the guy went and left me a message admitting it! That happened all damn year. I took it to farcical levels to keep everything from affecting Jorge, and above all I tried not to give it too much importance. What else could I do? I know they can come and give me a kicking, stab me, whatever, because Dani spends most of his time planning his revenge against a world that has supposedly turned against him. And who am I? Jorge's manager? Bullshit! I am the person who makes sure his life is free of stress and prevents all this from affecting him when he is on his bike. 'Jorge is like a caged tiger, but if you run your hand over his back he calms down. Jorge has faith in me and when I tell him to forget everything he does it. What I tell him is this: if you appreciate me, if you love me, if you want to thank me for solving problems - all the 'Amatriaín" stuff, the threats we have put up with and all of the knives - if you care about everything that has happened then get on that bike and gas it! Jorge, get on that Yamaha and race! That is how you can pay me back . . . and you owe me! I am the screen that tries to block everything and every blow aimed at you will deflect off my back. Everything else will be decided in court,' Marcos concludes.
The Spanish press is reporting that Dani Amatriain, former manager of MotoGP star Jorge Lorenzo - as well as 125/250GP riders Pol and Alex Espargaro - has been arrested. Sportspaper Marca states that Amatriain was arrested in Barcelona, venue for this weekend's Grand Prix of Catalunya, after making death threats against his former riders. Amatriain [...] is alleged to have demanded money from the riders during early morning phone calls and face to face meetings.
JL: The bad relationship between our managers, Alberto Puig and Dani Amatriaín, has definitely influenced our own [relationship]. I don't think it should ever have been that way because at the end of the day we are the ones getting on the bikes to race and the only things we should be worried about are opening the throttle and giving the thousands of fans watching the race something to enjoy. The fact is that Pedrosa doesn't see it like I do and he has taken sides to the point that it has made any kind of relationship impossible. ER: Are you saying that you have paid the price for the fight between Amatriaín and Puig? JL: I don't think I should have to pay for anything. I think people should show themselves for who they really are and my virtues are that I am honest, I speak the truth, and I accept the consequences of my actions and words. That and the fact I'm not influenced every five minutes by what one person or another says to me. It's like Joan Olivé. Before he was with Puig we knew each other quite well and we used to chat. We're friends again now but when he was with Puig he didn't even look at me! Julito Simon's the same. We used to be friends at the track - I followed his races and he followed mine, and I'd be happy for him when he did well. Since he signed with Alberto Puig he barely says 'Hi'. It's the same with his mechanics, they daren't even chat with other teams. That's the way it is! The same thing happens with Dani Pedrosa. The only time there's been any good feeling between us was at their happiest moment - when they won the 125cc title for the first time. Alberto Puig congratulated me for finishing third in Malaysia and asked how the race had been. They almost seemed like nice people! So in front of of the press I lifted Pedrosa's arm as the champion. It was the only time they have ever seemed prepared to open up to other people.
Jorge Lorenzo confirmed in Assen [2012] his separation from Marcos Hirsch, who until the last race managed the Mallorcan Yamaha rider. Hirsch had looked after the world championship leader's interests for more than 10 years, especially on the physical and mental side and had been fundamental in 2008, the year in which Lorenzo had several falls as soon as he arrived in MotoGP. Here is what the Majorcan said as reported by Motocuatro.com. “As you know, after almost ten years I broke up with Marcos. There wasn't any disagreement or anything like that. The truth is that I was lucky enough to work with three key people in my career, three people who helped me a lot, the first was my father, then Dani Amatriaín and finally Marcos. They helped shape me into a better person and driver. Marcos helped me a lot physically and mentally. We have been a very good team in recent years. He has handled large contracts. But now I felt I had to change something, what I had was not enough to take a further step. Mark was a manager of course, he was a manager who came for other reasons, he helped me a lot when I had personal and professional problems in 2008 but now I don't think he is the person who can make me grow again. Albert Valera is now my new representative. He will help me in relations with the sponsors and I hope that everything goes well to ensure that he becomes an even more complete driver."
Jorge Lorenzo’s former team manager Dani Amatriain has returned to racing, and formed “Team 99” with the help of his former rider [in 2013]. The “Team 99” will compete in the Spanish 80cc cup, and will field three young Spanish riders; Gino Navarro, Alex Toledo and Iker Vera in this seasons series. The former manager who has managed the likes of Jorge Lorenzo, Emilio Alzamora and Pol Espargaro to name a few, but the Spaniard broke away from Lorenzo and motorcycle racing back in 2008, and has since suffered personal problems. But he is now back where he is at his best, scouting at “grassroots” level of two wheeled racing. In a statement released today by Amatriain, he said; “The project is encouraging, these are very young riders with a great future ahead and I should emphasise that the collaboration with Jorge Lorenzo, with whom we share many happy moments from the beginning, when he was only 10 years old, and I am proud and grateful for. It’s a major challenge to move all my experience to these kids, after having gone through some very delicate moments and thankfully I can say that I am fully recovered.”
Regarding the rivalry between two great legends like Dani and Jorge, [Puig says] “There are these situations in life where you have to do something like that and then you do it.” “Maybe they even took him out of the professional field at the time, but I recently spoke with Dani Amatriain. He defended his interests, I defended mine. At that time there was less 'good-nature' than now. It was tougher, but there was less hypocrisy. Today, many people think things, but they don't say them so as not to stray from what is right or wrong."
In an interview given to the Tot Es Mou program on TV3, Jorge Lorenzo's first manager admitted that he entered the world of drug use during his time as a representative: “While I was competing I didn't use. As I began to develop more of a role as a businessman and representative, towards the end, due to the environment, friendships, I began to play with this. And this is so dangerous that it led me to total disaster.”
In his book, Amatriaín recounts chapter by chapter the phases of his addiction, matching them with the people and moments in his life in which they were happening. His eleven years with Jorge Lorenzo and his subsequent stage in the Barcelona nightlife after his painful breakup caused the most fragile moment of his life. A harsh story, although seen from the distance of time and without delving into each of those traumatic moments, which serves to convey how cocaine took away everything from him: "My family, my friends and, although it is not the most important thing for me, also reputation, money and social position.” "My decline until I hit rock bottom was straight out of a movie. When Jorge informed me of our separation and his intention not to attend to the resolution of the contract, I fell into the clutches of drugs absolutely," he says in his book. "I learned that when you have a problem, a lot of people disappear and you are left completely alone," he says.

Is it possible to play wheelchair tennis if you are not disabled?
If you are not disabled, you may be wondering if you can play wheelchair tennis. There are other things to consider, including the player's ability to stand up. Some players can stand up while sitting on a chair, while others must use a table to support their legs. The capacity to stand up is crucial for some, while the ability to move freely is more important for others.
The history of wheelchair tennis is one of inspiration and perseverance. Wheelchair tennis has grown from a simple recreational therapeutic game in the United States to one of the world's fastest-growing adaptive sports. More than 150 worldwide championship tournaments have been held in the years since the initial tournament.
Wheelchair tennis was invented in the mid-1970s in the United States and is now a popular sport with over 150 tournaments worldwide. Wheelchair tennis is managed by the International Tennis Federation (ITF). It is a professional sport with three divisions: men's singles, women's singles, and pairs. Athletes must have physical limitations that limit their movement and necessitate the use of a wheelchair.
Wheelchair tennis was invented in 1977 by the Los Angeles City Park and Recreation Department. Yannick Noah organized an exhibition to lure 3,000 people to attend the game. This event also laid the groundwork for the inaugural wheelchair tennis tournament in the United States.
Tennis can be played in several different ways. You can sit, stand, or use a wheelchair or walker. Some players suffer from physical problems such as hemiplegia or cerebral palsy. Others have had limbs amputated.
The TAP World Tour (Tenis Adaptivo de Pie) is a global circuit of adaptive standing tennis matches. Enzo Amadei Jerez founded it in Santiago, Chile, in 2015. The tour was originally designed to bring together players with comparable disabilities.
Among its numerous advantages, adaptive standing tennis allows you to engage in a sport that isn't often thought of as a sport for the disabled. Aside from aerobic activity, the sport promotes confidence and tactical thinking.
Table legs aren't the only thing you can touch while on the court. You should maintain a healthy skepticism about what is and is not on your team's agenda. You cannot, for example, be on the same squad as someone who has a broken leg.
It's also a good idea to have a roster of players on hand who can be called upon in an emergency. A player with a fractured wrist should also be pulled from the game right away. This will either avoid a repeat performance or reduce the risk of one. The aforementioned rule of thumb will aid in the elimination of any potential bias or misunderstanding. A good line of communication is also essential.
In South Africa, there are wheelchair tennis tournaments where a number of elite players compete in a variety of disciplines. It is a competitive sport that has grown in popularity around the world. Players can compete in singles and doubles matches, as well as Grand Slams.
Wheelchair tennis debuted at the 1988 Paralympics in Seoul. At the 1992 Summer Paralympics in Barcelona, it was officially recognized as a full-fledged sport. This made it the first disabled sport to be included in the Olympic or Paralympic Games.
In South Africa, wheelchair tennis programs are available in all provinces, where young people with disabilities can learn the skills necessary to excel in their sport. South African wheelchair tennis is a member of the International Tennis Federation (ITF), and its players are recognized by the ITF.
Wheelchair tennis is a type of tennis that has been modified to accommodate players who are physically disabled. It is one of the world's fastest-growing wheelchair sports.
You must be medically diagnosed with a mobility-related handicap in order to participate. You can participate in either a stand-up or a wheelchair lesson.
The sport is practiced on the same courts as competitive athletes. However, there is one exception. Before hitting the ball, a player can bounce it twice. This is a one-of-a-kind feature that may make or break a match.
Since 1992, wheelchair tennis has been included in the Paralympic Games. Other international competitions feature the sport. More than 150 events are hosted across the world as part of the ITF Wheelchair Tennis Tour, which was started in 1992.

Addiction to Spirituality
Lian was meditating for a long time prior to Consulting with me for the depression of his. He'd been a part of a spiritual community which encouraged the members of theirs to consider God through meditation and prayer every time they had been feeling any painful or difficult feelings like anger, anxiety, hurt, or maybe depression. He'd been coached that Spirit will transmute the feelings of his for him and also take him the peace he sought.
Yet Lian was depressed. "I have faithfully practiced what I have was taught, so why am I nonetheless depressed? What am I doing wrong?"
Lian was experiencing what's called "spiritual bypass."
see this Jerez de la Frontera
Spiritual bypass occurs when individuals start using the spiritual practice of theirs as a method to stay away from dealing with and taking responsibility for the feelings of theirs. Something that's utilized to stay away from feeling and taking responsibility for thoughts turns into an addiction - whether it's alcohol, anger, shopping, spending, gambling, work, TV, food, drugs, withdrawal…and meditation. If, when a painful or difficult feeling comes up, you quickly go into meditation in the hopes of blissing away and eliminating the sense, you might be fans of spirituality.
All of it is determined by what the intent of yours happens when you're meditating. People are able to meditate for two entirely different reasons: to stay away from pain or to find out about love.
If you're meditating to link with yourself and the spiritual Guidance of yours to be able to find out more about loving yourself and some, then meditation is a great way to get out of the head of yours and into the heart of yours. It's a great way to link with a loving part of yourself so you are able to welcome and embrace the painful feelings of yours and also find out everything you may possibly be carrying out or even thinking that's creating the own pain of yours. When the intent of yours is usually to be loving to yourself and be responsible for the own feelings of yours, then deep breathing is able to enable you to start to be compassionate and centered adequate to accomplish an internal exploration with the feeling self of yours.
Nevertheless, in case you're using deep breathing to bliss out and stay away from the pain of yours, you're using the spirituality of yours addictively. You're using the spirituality of yours to avoid learning about and taking responsibility for the feelings of yours.
This's what Lian was doing. As he was staying away from learning from the feelings of his, he was continuing to believe and act in ways toward himself and some which caused him to feel really depressed. Next, rather than visiting what he was doing that has been leading to the feeling self of his, the inner child of his, to feel low, he was meditating to attempt to eliminate the thoughts.
From the work of his with me, Lian found he was consistently both ignoring his inner kid - his feeling person - or maybe he was in self judgment. The blend of ignoring himself - that he did largely through meditation - and judging himself resulted in his inner kid be unloved, unimportant, and unseen. Lian noticed that in case he treated the actual children of his in the manner he treated himself - ignoring the feelings of theirs and continually judging them - they'd additionally really feel maybe and badly depressed. But Lian did deal with his real children's needs and feelings. It was his he was ignoring and judging.
Lian realized he was treating himself the manner in which the parents of his had treated him. He was a better parent to the children of his compared to the parents of his were definitely with him, though he was parenting the own inner child of his in the manner he'd been parented. He wasn't merely managing himself just how he'd been dealt with, he was treating himself the manner in which the parents of his had treated themselves. As an outcome, he wasn't being an excellent role model for the children of his of individual responsibility for the own feelings of his, just like the parents of his were definitely a bad role model for him.
additional information tarot del amor
In the course of dealing with me, Lian learned the Inner Bonding activity that we teach. He learned to welcome the painful feelings of his during meditation. He discovered in order to quiet the self judgmental portion of himself and also for treating himself with thoughtful and respect. He discovered to have loving action in the own behalf of his therefore his inner kid don't felt abandoned by him. It was the internal abandonment which was causing the depression of his. He realized the depression of his was really a gift - how the inner child of his was permitting him realize that he wasn't being loving to himself. With training, Lian learned to have loving care of himself and also his depression disappeared. Currently the meditation practice of his was not a spiritual bypass.

Monday, May 21st – Day 17, Pau, Gan, Saint-Jean-Pied-de-Port, Larrabetzu, Amorebieta
I was woken up early by the sound of the street cleaning machines trundling around the Place Gourmande site on Place Georges Clemenceau, so between the noisy revellers the night before and the local council’s street cleaning department, I’d managed about 5 hours sleep. Thanks a lot, guys! It did look lovely and clean though…
The overnight rain had cleared away and it looked like it was going to be another lovely day. I was happy enough with that because there was quite a lot of driving to do. Actually there was slightly more than I thought, because R was leaving by bus from the University bus stop to get to the airport. Sensibly he’d ordered a taxi well in advance, which simply didn’t turn up, or at least hadn’t turned up 10 minutes after it was expected, and which meant he was starting to run out of time to make the coach. We threw his bag into the car and hared across town, hampered at every stage by closed roads, red traffic lights and the apparent sudden incompetence of my SatNav system. However, we eventually got there and the bus he was supposed to be catching was still there, with a queue of people waiting to get on. I dropped him off, went back to the hotel, and then loaded up the car as neatly as I could.
That done we pointed the car towards Gan again, and les Caves de Gan where we planned to buy some local wine, including a case of Jurancon doux, and some reds for everyday drinking. The Pyrenees were looking very attractive despite the ominous clouds lowering in the distance. However, apart from the Caves pretty much nothing in Gan was open, and we needed to refuel if we were going to make it all the way to Bilbao by the end of the day. I knew the Carrefour supermarket to the north of Pau was open despite it being a bank holiday, so we headed that way, and discovered that the Leclerc on the Rocade was also open. We pulled in, picked up some sweets and biscuits to take home to our colleagues, some creme de mure, and some local food specialities, and filled up with diesel.
Setting our next destination for Saint-Jean-Pied-de-Port, we made our way to our next way stop, driving into some lovely open country, all the while with the mountains getting ever closer. On getting close we saw some signs for vineyards open to the public, but closer inspection proved that because it was a public holiday, they were closed. Eventually we gave up and decided to drive into the centre of the town, given that we could do with a coffee and a break by then.
Apparently Saint-Jean-Pied-de-Port means Saint John at the foot of the pass, which makes sense when I think about it. It is, of course, a stopping point for the Camino Francés, one of the most popular options for walking the Camino de Santiago if you have taken the routes that run from Paris, Vézelay or Le Puy-en-Velay, as they all meet here prior to the mountain crossing. We certainly saw a lot of people laden with rucksacks with scallop shells, the traditional badge for pilgrims on the Camino, hanging from them.
The original town was razed to the ground in 1177 by Richard the Lionheart after a siege, and the new town was built on the current site by the King of Navarre, shortly afterwards. The town has a delightful medieval centre with houses overlooking the river Nive, as well as a citadel revamped in the 17th Century by Vauban, but unfortunately we didn’t have time to do it justice.
We did have time to buy more wine though, Saint Jean sitting right in the Irouléguy appellation, a much underrated and under-known source of some very good wine. I have a suspicion that it’s partly because they are keeping the wines to themselves, and partly that unless you’re born in those parts, most of the names are bordering on the unpronounceable what with all the Xs and Zs in them! We were beginning to wonder if we would find anywhere to sell us any when we stumbled upon the Caves des Etats de Navarre where they were not only prepared to let us try and buy some wines, but were also serving food.
It was now 14:00 and we were getting hungry so we ordered a plate of the local cheese (Ossau-Iraty of course) and another of Bayonne ham. What we got was massive and delicious and it went very nicely with a white Irouléguy.
We added the final two cases of wine to the car, and set off towards our final destination, the scenery becoming ever more dramatic as we hit the motorway again and crossed the border into Spain. It’s gloriously mountainous just back from the coast towards Santander and then on to Bilbao, and I think we now want to come back and have a closer look at this part of the world. We really don’t know Spain apart from the bits around the two race circuits we have been to, Jerez and Valencia. The rest of it’s a bit of a mystery to us. That may be a mistake, we’re starting to feel.
We were booked to stay in an agriturismo that was described as being close to the motorway. The street name wasn’t showing up in the SatNav whatever I tried, so we headed for the town named in the address, Larrabetzu. After we’d been round the place twice we stopped and wrestled the SatNav one more time, only for it to tell us we were around 3 miles away from where we wanted to be. We followed the instructions only to find ourselves on the roughest of rough roads, going up a massive hill and past a disused golf centre, going at around 8 mph for fear of breaking our wine bottles, or falling off the precipitous edge of the road. Cursing and sweating we eventually located the gate for the Casa Miamendi, and hauled ourselves up a ludicrously steep drive, coming to a stop outside a house that matched the photos on Booking.com but that seemed to be completely deserted. Eventually someone appeared, and led us to our room, which was very nice indeed, especially for €70. Sadly communication was almost impossible, because I don’t speak any Spanish or for that matter Catalan or Basque, and she didn’t speak English, French or German. We resorted to gestures, which seemed to work on both sides.
Settled in the room, we discovered that if we’d gone on to the next exit from the motorway, we’d have been around 200 yards from the gate. Grrr! Our route to the restaurant I’d booked us into for the night took us straight down that way and meant it took 10 minutes to get to for dinner. Getting back was another matter, but first the food and drink. This area of Spain is festooned with Michelin stars, including the 3-star Azurmendi that we could see from the hotel, though on a Monday night it’s not so much a matter of choosing where to go, but of finding somewhere that will actually be open on a Monday. We had opted, after an exchange in somewhat awkward English, for one-starred Boroa Jatetxea in nearby Amorebieta–Etxano. Apparently they only do a “limited” menu on a Monday. We were more than happy to settle for that actually, because what we got was superb. We didn’t feel in any way short-changed, that’s for sure.
First, however, the place itself. We drove up a well-kept drive way and parked to find ourselves in front of a somewhat rambling building, very much in the local architectural vernacular, low, set in a massive garden with lots of outdoor seating areas, some occupied by people who looked like they might be taking advantage of the weather to call in to the Taverna part of the establishment to have a leisurely Monday night drink with friends or colleagues. With a large, modern business park just down the road, I suspect that is where a lot of their custom comes from. We were greeted promptly on our arrival and were walked through the tavern and into the restaurant proper, a large room, divided up with screens, low ceilinged and with lovely large windows overlooking the gardens.
We opted to have the Bizkargi menu (possibly named after a local mountain peak) and settled in to enjoy the ride. We were still having problems with our lack of Spanish language skills, which was a shame, because our waitress was lovely and very keen to explain things to us. Sadly, she was pretty much wasting her efforts, though we did appreciate the sentiment. We started with a glass of cava, as seemed appropriate, and some lovely home-made potato crisps came to accompany them. We had to try and stop ourselves from scarfing the lot, knowing we had a tasting menu to get through.
Some very fine, very rustic bread came along too, dotted with seeds, with a beautiful crust and with a small dish of olive oil to dunk it in.
As an amuse bouche we were served a lovely soft ham and potato croqueta, with a gorgeous crisp shell.
The sommelier brought the wine we’d ordered, to the approval of the waitress who obviously considered this a good option with the next few courses, all of which were fishy. I’d not got too much idea what I was doing but what I’d understood of the description suggested that a bottle of the Itsas Mendi Artizar might be a very good thing.
It was certainly very well matched to the first course of Bermeo anchovy fillets (or loins, as the menu had it, though I can’t help but feel anchovies are too small to have loins!) served on a very delicate tapenade toast with a smooth, creamy, cool ajoblanco garlic soup.
The next course was described somewhat prosaically as parmentier potatoes, mushroom cake, sautéed garlic shrimp and sauce Americaine. It was rich and spicy and the prawns were redolent of garlic, rich with it. It was a glorious little plate of sheer pleasure if I’m honest. More would have been nice, but equally there were further goodies to come.
Next up was a portion of piper gurnard, again the loin which seems to be a popular cut here, an odd looking fish but very good eating. It’s quite meaty, a bit like monkfish (another weirdly prehistoric looking thing) with a suquet sauce, croutons and molluscs (which were actually mussels). Suquet is a Catalan word for sauce, and it’s a traditional dish, the fish-based sauce thickened with potato, and flavoured with peppers. It was also very good. So far, the chef hadn’t put a foot wrong, and didn’t look likely too either. I’d love to go back some time when they’re not doing their “restricted” menu to see what they are really capable of.
The white wine was now done and it was time for the meat course, so we were about to swap to a red. Like the white it was pretty local, and again the waitress seemed to think it was a good choice, so I was more confident now. We tasted it and liked it very much, it being a Bosque de Matasnos 2016 Ribera del Duero.
We reckoned it worked with the meat, a fillet steak burger, with red onions and a goat cheese spongecake.It was a very simple dish and that meant there was no place to hide, the meat had to be brilliant quality or it would not have worked. This was, cooked to still be slightly rare and juicy, with the lightest of goats cheese in the sponge cake. It was cleverer than it looked, and very, very good.
The dessert was upon us, and it too was clever, classy and tasted fabulous. It was curd with spiced parsnip sponge cake, sticking with the cake theme from the meat course, with a multi-fruit sorbet that had us identifying all sorts of different flavours and never being quite sure if we were right. It was lovely and elegant and it rounded off the meal very well.
There just remained the petit fours, which were thankfully very tiny, because by now we were flagging. Still, we’d be eating on the ferry for the rest of the trip and as we were putting ourselves in the hands of Brittany Ferries for the first time ever, we’d no idea what to expect. It wouldn’t matter because our last actual holiday meal had lived up to expectations and made us both very happy.
There was enough wine in the bottle for us to have another glass each, so we asked them to stopper it for us, and put it in my bag to drink back at the hotel, just in case we ended up having to go back over that accursed mountain if we failed to find the short cut. And that’s precisely what happened, to my utter frustration. Two attempts to locate the correct turn off failed completely and so instead of 10 minutes (which was how long it had taken from the hotel to the restaurant) it took 30 minutes to get back! A friend who lives in Spain has suggested that SatNavs do not tend to work especially well in Spain. I was just hoping it was going to be easier to get to the ferry in the morning… we’d be leaving in plenty of time, that was for sure.

THE STORY After graduating from Harvard, Bryan Stevenson (Michael B. Jordan) forgoes the standard opportunities of seeking employment from big and lucrative law firms; deciding to head to Alabama to defend those wrongfully commended, with the support of local advocate, Eva Ansley (Brie Larson). One of his first, and most poignant, case is that of Walter McMillian (Jamie Foxx, who, in 62, was sentenced to die for the notorious murder of an 2-year-old girl in the community, despite a preponderance of evidence proving his innocence and one singular testimony against him by an individual that doesn’t quite seem to add up. Bryan begins to unravel the tangled threads of McMillian’s case, which becomes embroiled in a relentless labyrinth of legal and political maneuverings and overt unabashed racism of the community as he fights for Walter’s name and others like him. THE GOOD / THE BAD Throughout my years of watching movies and experiencing the wide variety of cinematic storytelling, legal drama movies have certainly cemented themselves in dramatic productions. As I stated above, some have better longevity of being remembered, but most showcase plenty of heated courtroom battles of lawyers defending their clients and unmasking the truth behind the claims (be it wrongfully incarcerated, discovering who did it, or uncovering the shady dealings behind large corporations. Perhaps my first one legal drama was 624’s The Client (I was little young to get all the legality in the movie, but was still managed to get the gist of it all). My second one, which I loved, was probably Primal Fear, with Norton delivering my favorite character role. Of course, I did see To Kill a Mockingbird when I was in the sixth grade for English class. Definitely quite a powerful film. And, of course, let’s not forget Philadelphia and want it meant / stand for. Plus, Hanks and Washington were great in the film. All in all, while not the most popular genre out there, legal drama films still provide a plethora of dramatic storytelling to capture the attention of moviegoers of truth and lies within a dubious justice. Just Mercy is the latest legal crime drama feature and the whole purpose of this movie review. To be honest, I really didn’t much “buzz” about this movie when it was first announced (circa 206) when Broad Green Productions hired the film’s director (Cretton) and actor Michael B. Jordan in the lead role. It was then eventually bought by Warner Bros (the films rights) when Broad Green Productions went Bankrupt. So, I really didn’t hear much about the film until I saw the movie trailer for Just Mercy, which did prove to be quite an interesting tale. Sure, it sort of looked like the generic “legal drama” yarn (judging from the trailer alone), but I was intrigued by it, especially with the film starring Jordan as well as actor Jamie Foxx. I did repeatedly keep on seeing the trailer for the film every time I went to my local movie theater (usually attached to any movie I was seeing with a PG rating and above). So, suffice to say, that Just Mercy’s trailer preview sort of kept me invested and waiting me to see it. Thus, I finally got the chance to see the feature a couple of days ago and I’m ready to share my thoughts on the film. And what are they? Well, good ones….to say the least. While the movie does struggle within the standard framework of similar projects, Just Mercy is a solid legal drama that has plenty of fine cinematic nuances and great performances from its leads. It’s not the “be all to end all” of legal drama endeavors, but its still manages to be more of the favorable motion pictures of these projects. Just Mercy is directed by Destin Daniel Cretton, whose previous directorial works includes such movies like Short Term 6, I Am Not a Hipster, and Glass Castle. Given his past projects (consisting of shorts, documentaries, and a few theatrical motion pictures), Cretton makes Just Mercy is most ambitious endeavor, with the director getting the chance to flex his directorial muscles on a legal drama film, which (like I said above) can manage to evoke plenty of human emotions within its undertaking. Thankfully, Cretton is up to the task and never feels overwhelmed with the movie; approaching (and shaping) the film with respect and a touch of sincerity by speaking to the humanity within its characters, especially within lead characters of Stevenson and McMillian. Of course, legal dramas usually do (be the accused / defendant and his attorney) shine their cinematic lens on these respective characters, so it’s nothing original. However, Cretton does make for a compelling drama within the feature; speaking to some great character drama within its two main lead characters; staging plenty of moments of these twos individuals that ultimately work, including some of the heated courtroom sequences. Like other recent movies (i.e. Brian Banks and The Hate U Give), Cretton makes Just Mercy have an underlining thematical message of racism and corruption that continues to play a part in the US….to this day (incredibly sad, but true). So, of course, the correlation and overall relatively between the movie’s narrative and today’s world is quite crystal-clear right from the get-go, but Cretton never gets overzealous / preachy within its context; allowing the feature to present the subject matter in a timely manner and doesn’t feel like unnecessary or intentionally a “sign of the times” motif. Additionally, the movie also highlights the frustration (almost harsh) injustice of the underprivileged face on a regular basis (most notable those looking to overturn their cases on death row due to negligence and wrongfully accused). Naturally, as somewhat expected (yet still palpable), Just Mercy is a movie about seeking the truth and uncovering corruption in the face of a broken system and ignorant prejudice, with Cretton never shying away from some of the ugly truths that Stevenson faced during the film’s story. Plus, as a side-note, it’s quite admirable for what Bryan Stevenson (the real-life individual) did for his career, with him as well as others that have supported him (and the Equal Justice Initiative) over the years and how he fought for and freed many wrongfully incarcerated individuals that our justice system has failed (again, the poignancy behind the film’s themes / message). It’s great to see humanity being shined and showcased to seek the rights of the wronged and to dispel a flawed system. Thus, whether you like the movie or not, you simply can not deny that truly meaningful job that Bryan Stevenson is doing, which Cretton helps demonstrate in Just Mercy. From the bottom of my heart…. thank you, Mr. Stevenson. In terms of presentation, Just Mercy is a solidly made feature film. Granted, the film probably won’t be remembered for its visual background and theatrical setting nuances or even nominated in various award categories (for presentation / visual appearance), but the film certainly looks pleasing to the eye, with the attention of background aspects appropriate to the movie’s story. Thus, all the usual areas that I mention in this section (i.e. production design, set decorations, costumes, and cinematography) are all good and meet the industry standard for legal drama motion pictures. That being said, the film’s score, which was done by Joel P. West, is quite good and deliver some emotionally drama pieces in a subtle way that harmonizes with many of the feature’s scenes. There are a few problems that I noticed with Just Mercy that, while not completely derailing, just seem to hold the feature back from reaching its full creative cinematic potential. Let’s start with the most prevalent point of criticism (the one that many will criticize about), which is the overall conventional storytelling of the movie. What do I mean? Well, despite the strong case that the film delves into a “based on a true story” aspect and into some pretty wholesome emotional drama, the movie is still structed into a way that it makes it feel vaguely formulaic to the touch. That’s not to say that Just Mercy is a generic tale to be told as the film’s narrative is still quite engaging (with some great acting), but the story being told follows quite a predictable path from start to finish. Granted, I never really read Stevenson’s memoir nor read anything about McMillian’s case, but then I still could easily figure out how the movie was presumably gonna end…. even if the there were narrative problems / setbacks along the way. Basically, if you’ve seeing any legal drama endeavor out there, you’ll get that same formulaic touch with this movie. I kind of wanted see something a little bit different from the film’s structure, but the movie just ends up following the standard narrative beats (and progressions) of the genre. That being said, I still think that this movie is definitely probably one of the better legal dramas out there. This also applies to the film’s script, which was penned by Cretton and Andrew Lanham, which does give plenty of solid entertainment narrative pieces throughout, but lacks the finesse of breaking the mold of the standard legal drama. There are also a couple parts of the movie’s script handling where you can tell that what was true and what fictional. Of course, this is somewhat a customary point of criticism with cinematic tales taking a certain “poetic license” when adapting a “based on a true story” narrative, so it’s not super heavily critical point with me as I expect this to happen. However, there were a few times I could certainly tell what actually happen and what was a tad bit fabricated for the movie. Plus, they were certain parts of the narrative that could’ve easily fleshed out, including what Morrison’s parents felt (and actually show them) during this whole process. Again, not a big deal-breaker, but it did take me out of the movie a few times. Lastly, the film’s script also focuses its light on a supporting character in the movie and, while this made with well-intention to flesh out the character, the camera spotlight on this character sort of goes off on a slight tangent during the feature’s second act. Basically, this storyline could’ve been removed from Just Mercy and still achieve the same palpability in the emotional department. It’s almost like the movie needed to chew up some runtime and the writers to decided to fill up the time with this side-story. Again, it’s good, but a bit slightly unnecessary. What does help overlook (and elevate) some of these criticisms is the film’s cast, which are really good and definitely helps bring these various characters to life in a theatrical /dramatic way. Leading the charge in Just Mercy is actor Michael B. Jordan, who plays the film’s central protagonist role of Bryan Stevenson. Known for his roles in Creed, Fruitvale Station, and Black Panther, Jordan has certain prove himself to be quite a capable actor, with the actor rising to stardom over the past few years. This is most apparent in this movie, with Jordan making a strong characteristically portrayal as Bryan; showcasing plenty of underlining determination and compelling humanity in his character as he (as Bryan Stevenson) fights for the injustice of those who’s voices have been silenced or dismissed because of the circumstances. It’s definitely a strong character built and Jordan seems quite capable to task in creating a well-acted on-screen performance of Bryan. Behind Jordan is actor Jamie Foxx, who plays the other main lead in the role, Walter McMillian. Foxx, known for his roles in Baby Driver, Django Unchained, and Ray, has certainly been recognized as a talented actor, with plenty of credible roles under his belt. His participation in Just Mercy is another well-acted performance that deserve much praise as its getting (even receiving an Oscar nod for it), with Foxx portraying Walter with enough remorseful grit and humility that makes the character quite compelling to watch. Plus, seeing him and Jordan together in a scene is quite palpable and a joy to watch. The last of the three marquee main leads of the movie is the character of Eva Ansley, the director of operations for EJI (i.e. Stevenson’s right-handed employee / business partner), who is played by actress Brie Larson. Up against the characters of Stevenson and McMillian, Ansley is the weaker of the three main lead; presented as supporting player in the movie, which is perfectly fine as the characters gets the job done (sort of speak) throughout the film’s narrative. However, Larson, known for her roles in Room, 6 Jump Street, and Captain Marvel, makes less of an impact in the role. Her acting is fine and everything works in her portrayal of Eva, but nothing really stands in her performance (again, considering Jordan and Foxx’s performances) and really could’ve been played by another actress and achieved the same goal. The rest of the cast, including actor Tim Blake Nelson (The Incredible Hulk and O Brother, Where Art Thou) as incarcerated inmate Ralph Meyers, actor Rafe Spall (Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom and The Big Short) as legal attorney Tommy Champan, actress Karan Kendrick (The Hate U Give and Family) as Minnie McMillan, Walter’s wife, actor C.J. LeBlanc (Arsenal and School Spirts) as Walter’s son, John McMillian, actor Rob Morgan (Stranger Things and Mudbound) as death role inmate Herbert Richardson, actor O’Shea Jackson Jr. (Long Shot and Straight Outta Compton) as death role inmate Anthony “Ray” Hinton, actor Michael Harding (Triple 2 and The Young and the Restless) as Sheriff Tate, and actor Hayes Mercure (The Red Road and Mercy Street) as a prison guard named Jeremy, are in the small supporting cast variety. Of course, some have bigger roles than others, but all of these players, which are all acted well, bolster the film’s story within the performances and involvement in Just Mercy’s narrative. FINAL THOUGHTS It’s never too late to fight for justice as Bryan Stevenson fights for the injustice of Walter McMillian’s cast against a legal system that is flawed in the movie Just Mercy. Director Destin Daniel Cretton’s latest film takes a stance on a poignant case; demonstrating the injustice of one (and by extension those wrongfully incarcerated) and wrapping it up in a compelling cinematic story. While the movie does struggle within its standard structure framework (a sort of usual problem with “based on a true story” narrations) as well as some formulaic beats, the movie still manages to rise above those challenges (for the most part), especially thanks to Cretton’s direction (shaping and storytelling) and some great performances all around (most notable in Jordan and Foxx). Personally, I liked this movie. Sure, it definitely had its problem, but those didn’t distract me much from thoroughly enjoying this legal drama feature. Thus, my recommendation for the film is a solid “recommended”, especially those who liked the cast and poignant narratives of legality struggles and the injustice of a failed system / racism. In the end, while the movie isn’t the quintessential legal drama motion picture and doesn’t push the envelope in cinematic innovation, Just Mercy still is able to manage to be a compelling drama that’s powerful in its story, meaningful in its journey, and strong within its statement. Just like Bryan Stevenson says in the movie….” If we could look at ourselves closely…. we can change this world for the better”. Amen to that!

Cars Renault will launch in South Africa in 2020
Renault South Africa will be launching several new models later this year despite severe delays in production due to the coronavirus pandemic. The refreshed line-up of new cars for the local market includes an ultra-sporty Megane RS model as well as enhanced crossovers and SUVs.
Over the past five years, Renault South Africa has increased its share of the local new car market thanks to the introduction of the popular Kwid. Its Sandero range has also helped the French brand grow at the entry-level end of the market. Speaking at the launch of the refreshed Kwid compact car in Johannesburg late last year, Renault South Africa's marketing and communications vice president Jesus Boveda confirmed that the company was fifth-largest in SA in terms of new vehicle sales, with aspirations to climb a few rungs higher on the ladder.
These are the cars the brand will bring to SA to help its ascent...
Looking to pick fights with the recently facelifted Honda Civic Type R (we're awaiting confirmation that it's still coming in 2020) and the recently introduced Volkswagen Golf GTI TCR, the new Renault Megane Trophy will add some excitement to the performance hatch market.
Renault confirmed earlier this week that the 221kW hot hatch will feature breakthrough exhaust system technologies, bi-material brakes, a Torsen limited-slip differential and, most importantly, a firmer chassis for more precise control and handling.
The previous generation Megane RS Trophy was simply astounding to drive, with an Akrapovic exhaust at the back and a trick intake system upfront giving it a roar like no other factory-tuned hot hatch at that time.
The new Megane RS Trophy will also come with an F1-inspired splitter under its front bumper, a wide rear diffuser, bespoke hatch spoiler and custom central exhaust tips. 19-inch Jerez wheels with high-performance Bridgestone tyres also come standard.
Three Family-focused options confirmed.
Renault will be launching updated versions of its Koleos mid-size SUV and its Duster compact SUV during the third quarter of 2020. While mechanical treatment will be kept minimal, you can expect a smart styling update as well as tweaks to the interior. Exact specifications and the grade walk will be made available closer to the time of launch.
For those consumers who want to keep the budget tight, but without compromising on style, comfort and safety, Renault SA will also bring an updated Sandero Stepway to market later this year. Bearing the TechRoad nomenclature we first saw on the Duster, the new Sandero Stepway will serve to keep compact hatchback buyers satisfied until the all-new fifth-generation Clio arrives.
The best new models are still to come
While news that the updated Megane RS, Koleos, Duster and Sandero Stepway coming to SA this year remains exciting for the company and consumers, considering the state of the world, the fifth-generation Clio and the all-new Captur might not make it to SA this year, but they are still on the horizon...
Delays in production as well as pent up demand for these new vehicles in other parts of the world hint at a 2021 introduction for us, however if things change in the coming months, Renault SA will still look to bring the new compact hatch and the compact SUV to Group 1 Renault this year.
"These are models that have a good track record and are quite revered in some instances. The above-mentioned models are refreshing the range, staying fresh, staying relevant and staying appealing to meet and exceed customers needs and expectations," the company's media relations manager, Viviene Ward, says.
She adds that Renault SA will push to offer even better value for customers in the coming months: "Ongoing, extensive work goes into monitoring the competitive environment with the main aim to position ourselves to stand out in terms of value for money. One example of being sensitive to these challenging times is the offer we are running on the Kwid range that includes 1-year's worth of comprehensive car insurance, a 2-year Service Plan, and a 5-year mechanical warranty from only R1999pm.
"Another is the Sandero range that now offers customers a payment break of up to six months and it still comes with a 2-year Service Plan and 5-year mechanical warranty.”

Photoshoot of the Week: February 24th-March 1st 2020- Sabrina Alexandra & Yamaha R1M
Now in its fifth edition, the 2020 Yamaha Racing Experience is the initiative dedicated by the Japanese company to YZF-R1M owners who will have the opportunity to test their bike on the track, supported by the Yamaha Racing team's professional instructors and official riders. After Silverstone and Mugello, the 2020 edition of the YRE will take place from 20 to 21 April at the Misano World Circuit and, from 25 to 26 June, on the Le Mans circuit in France. Partecipation to the Yamaha Racing Experience does not require particular levels of driving skills or technical knowledge and is free for those who have purchased the YZF-R1M 2020. However, limited places are also available for owners of the models produced in previous years. To participate in the Yamaha Racing Experience, it is necessary to send an email to the dedicated address ([email protected]), indicating the bike's chassis, the year of registration of the same and which of the two events you wish to participate in. In both events there will be technicians and riders who will conduct workshops dedicated to participants with theoretical lessons on how to improve their driving style and motorcycle performance with the possibility, further, of being able to meet special guests from the Yamaha Racing world. I don't know about you, but I'm not letting this chance pass me by and I'll be in Misano in April ... and I truly hope to meet the beautiful Swiss socialite and bikes & cars addicted Sabrina Alexandra, who rides a total black Yamaha R1M 2015 in the streets of her homeland, Zurich. I think maybe she might be going to Le Mans, but her city is more close to Misano... Well, I guess I'll just have to keep my fingers crossed! *** *** The YZF-R1M is a purpose-built motorbike and it feels like a racebike. Yamaha has taken the wraps off its latest-generation flagship sportbikes, the 2020 YZF-R1 and the track-ready YZF-R1M, with both featuring refinements to their CP4 crossplane crankshaft engines, an augmented electronic rider aids package, enhanced suspension and redesigned bodywork. Here is where the R1M comes into its own: the same engine, electronics and fairing upgrades as the R1 but with a wider rear section rear tyre (200), carbon bodywork, polished tank and swingarm plus wireless communications via an app to assess your track performance, the race version is also equipped some of the highest specification Ohlins suspension ever seen on a production motorcycle – the same forks as on Ducati’s Panigale V4R but this time the NPX pressurised forks are electronically-controlled. And, for the press launch, a set of sticky slick Bridgestone V02 tyres, the racier partner of this 2020 duo showed even more agility. The 998cc inline-four powering the R1M was already potent, and for 2020 it gets new cylinder heads, fuel injectors, finger-follower rocker arms and camshaft profiles. Controlling the beast is an all-new Accelerator Position Sensor with Grip (APSG) ride-by-wire system with Yamaha’s Chip Controlled Throttle (YCC-T) that eliminates throttle cables and reduces weight while providing smoother throttle operation. A robust electronics package centered around Yamaha’s proprietary six-axis IMU now lets riders choose between two intervention modes for enhanced Brake Control (BC): BC1 is optimized for upright, straight-line braking and BC2 increases intervention timing deeper into the lean, for enhanced braking into corners. A new Engine Brake Management (EBM) system also allows the rider to select between three levels of engine braking force. Both the BC and EBM are adjustable through the onboard Yamaha Ride Control and Yamaha’s Y-TRAC smartphone (Android only) and tablet app (Android and iOS). Despite having new brake pads on this 2020 model, the unlinked brakes are not a patch on the impeccable Brembo’s used by Aprilia and Ducati for their litre sports machines. Pulling hard on the front brake lever at the end of the two straights made for a strenuous finger and forearm workout – so much so that the effort into the lever doesn’t match the stopping power. To caveat that point though, this was on track in hot conditions and at quick track day pace. On the road, the hard pressure requirement wouldn’t be too noticeable and quite frankly it’s handy to know the ABS works so effectively. Plus, Yamaha’s improved Engine Brake Management system allows for three levels of engine brake force as we mentioned earlier, so find the setting that suits you whether on track or on the road depending on how much engine brake interference vs. engine speed that you prefer. This new Brake Control system is more commonly known as cornering ABS on other models. The two settings give differences in brake and ABS sensitivity depending on cornering angle. Handy for those who prefer to trail brake deep into a corner. Turn one at Jerez, for example, an uphill and late apex right-hander is testing enough to carry corner enough speed and the correct corner entry to maximise a quick getaway towards two. Confidence grows with use because keeping the brakes on into the lean or even giving it an additional squeeze once in the corner would be discouraged by any road-based motorcycle instructor. Summing it up: R1M is a classy, well put together, Euro 5-compliant beauty that gets the 2020 holeshot in terms of sports bike bragging rights. Release it from its restrictions courtesy of a full after-market exhaust system and, despite the additional expense, this is going to be taking the superbike game straight to Ducati and its Panigale V4S… or R in the case of the homologated road-bike based Superbike Championships. The 2020 YZF-R1M will initially be available in limited quantities exclusively through Yamaha’s online reservation system in a Carbon Fiber color scheme for $26,099. #bikergirl #yamaha #yzfr1m #r3 #r1m #yzf #yamahayzfr1m #yamahayzf #bikergirls #bikergirlsofinstagram #bikelife #superbike #throttlezone #instamoto #instamotogallery #biker #bikerchicks #yamahagirl #revsyourheart #universalbikers #motorcycle #motard #superbikes #ridefast #bikeracing #motosports #motolife #fastbikes #RidinGirlsBlog #racing #motorbike #bikelife #bikersofinstagram #bikerfamily #riderich #girlsonbikes #ridemore #sportbike #sexybiker #bikerchick #bikerlady #motorbike #speed #roadracing #ridingsexy #girlswhoride #motorrad #girlsonbikes #motorrad #motogp #moto #helmetporn #yamahar1m #held

Hola a todxs!
Happy Nicaraguan Independence Day, and sincere apologies that my promise of a weekly blog post that has since disintegrated into fallacy. I’ve been in Nicaragua for about two weeks, existing in a perpetual sponge-like state, trying to soak up every moment and piece of knowledge that this place and its people have to offer. I’ve settled into my new home in la Colonia Maximo Jerez, a vecindario for Managua’s working-class families. La Máximo, as the locals call it, bursts and moves with life in every sense. Every morning, la calle principal fills with school-going children, economy cars, motorcycles, buses, the occasional horse-drawn carriage, stirring movement that continues into midday as toddlers play on the sidewalks and vendors push carts selling cheese, “Eskimos” (ice cream), and sweet beverages. They pass houses squeezed tightly together, built as one elongated brick row, the separation between households defined only by each casa’s unique, brilliant color pallet, animating every façade as if it too was alive. The sun beats down without reprieve, as Managua swims in thick, humid air and prompts its inhabitants’ routinized use of the phrase, “Que calor!”. By the evening, music and savory aromas drift from kitchens, through open airway patios out onto the streets, as the newly constructed public park at the end of the street populates with energized children and athletes seeking free wifi and sporting fields.
Despite my horrid (albeit rapidly improving) Spanish abilities, I’ve begun to weave myself into life in la Maximo, primarily from the help of my host family, Adela & Luis, and their three daughters, Julia, Ashley Nicole and Ximena, and of course, the family dog, Peluche. Each of them has been incredibly gracious and welcoming. Four-year-old Ximena has gifted me with many an original art piece, Ashley Nicole (age 9) has assumed the role as my personal Spanish tutor, Luis went digging in the closet for the classical guitar when he found out that I played, and Adela is consistently checking to make sure I’m okay and that I’m eating well (for the record, I am). The house is always filled with visitors and family and the sounds of Disney Channel español, and I’ve adjusted quickly in feeling a vague, but warm nostalgia for my own childhood and two sisters in the U.S.
Weekdays are packed as tight as the 8:20am bus ride from the School of International Training (SIT) Nicaragua’s study center in La Maximo to the Universidad Centroamericana (or UCA, pronounced “oooo-CUH”), where my classmates and I take a three hour Spanish class every day. I’d imagine such a thing would be dreary, if not for the fact that I’m certain the other people in my class were professional comedians in their former lives, and that our professor, Bismarck, somehow manages to smile for the entire duration of the class. Twice a week during lunch, we have the opportunity to meet and talk with Nicaraguan students our age who attend the UCA, and learn about their country from their perspective. Our afternoon lectures often take us out into Managua, meeting with leaders, organizations and activists who are working to create access to resources to marginalized communities, a more transparent and democratic government, and studying how migrants and millennials are contribute to social change within Nicaragua.
Managua itself is sprawling, a result of several post-earthquake rebuilds, the most significant following the 1972 earthquake that destroyed most of what is now known as “Old Managua”. A home to 2.2 million people (half the country’s population), there’s always plenty to do, and to set the record straight for everyone (including the internet) who tried to tell me otherwise before coming: there is running water, and power, and of course, McDonalds here. Yet, there are many disparities between Managua from cities in the global North. As I come to let these differences soak in and learn more about how they have come to be, how global inequality has been constructed over time, I hope to take the time to reflect on and illustrate these ideas in a way that is meaningful and nuanced for those reading this blog.
I’ll have even more time to think on this throughout the next week, as our group goes to visit “el campo” in Matagalpa, a more rural area of Nicaragua rich with coffee farms and other agricultural endeavors. We’ll be living on farms and learning from women who have started their own growing cooperative to toast and sell their coffee at competitive market prices. As an avid consumer of coffee, I’m looking forward to meeting and understanding the lives of those on the other side of my daily joe, to think about the ways globalization both has connected us but also left us more separate from the products we consume than ever before in human history. So, catch me next week to hear all about it, unless I die and go to heaven in the Matagalpa Coffee Museum.

Su comienzo en las redes En el 2012 antes de tener su canal de YouTube personal, Daniel colaboraba con uno llamado Spanish Queens, pero después de eso se decidió a crear el suyo propio, así que con solo 17 años empezó su canal Daniel Valero–Tigrillo, el cual se ha centrado en la comunidad LGTBQ+ y en sus propias experiencias de vida. Para entonces ya Daniel exponía sus ideas en su cuenta de Twitter @TigrilloTW, motivado por el acoso y maltrato que sufrió en su época de colegio. Durante varios años Tigrillo fue la imagen de la comunidad en Twitter y desde sus inicios ha dejado muy claro su postura, pues fue el momento en que él estaba descubriendo su propia sexualidad y las redes sociales fueron su forma de expresar sus sentimientos, además Daniel ha confesado que siempre fue un chico solitario por lo cual estar en redes sociales le resultaba muy cómodo.
${INSTAGRAM:Bbma3hPlGWp} Por la inclusión y la educación Existen muchos activistas de la comunidad LGTBQ+ en las redes sociales, pero Daniel es además un educador Web, su canal no solo se trata del mundo LGTB sino de educación para las personas de la comunidad, Daniel se ha convertido en un orientador en la red, un influencer que trata en cada post y en cada vídeo de dar información útil sobre la homosexualidad, sobres los tabús que existen y los prejuicios de la sociedad. Pero también es un influencer que busca ayudar a todas aquellas personas que están descubriendo su sexualidad, que sienten dudas o están buscando información para ayudar a otros y de esta manera cuenta con secciones como el Test LGTB, recomendaciones de libros sobre el tema y videos específicos sobre diferentes mitos que tiene la sociedad sobre alguna inclinación sexual. ${INSTAGRAM:BjM3cG4gS7G} LGTB para principiantes En el mundo existen altos índices de violencia en contra de los miembros de la comunidad LGTB, pero España ha resultado ser uno de los países más violentos, un informe del Observatorio contra el Odio asegura que en el 2019, el número de agresiones y vejaciones al colectivo LGTB ha aumentado un 7% y en Madrid existe un ataque diario a una persona de la comunidad, razón por la cual Daniel decidió crear un manual. Su libro LGTB para principiantes salió en junio de este año y se ha convertido el manual oficial de la comunidad LGTB donde se encuentran definiciones de términos, explicaciones, historias y hasta ejemplos, esto se le ocurrió, al hablar con amigos heterosexuales que no conocían mucho del tema y pensó que debería haber un libro que explicara los términos básicos para crear una sociedad más consciente e incluyente. ${INSTAGRAM:ByaNqSzi3nM} (Te puede interesar: Aida Domenech, la instagramer fashionista LGTB más influyente de España) El Activista Daniel no solamente trata temas como la homosexualidad, es un influencer preocupado por importantes temas como la política y la salud pública, su interés por tratar temas sociales, por educar, por romper paradigmas ha ido mucho más allá de las inclinaciones sexuales y lo los tabúes que tiene la sociedad sobre ellos, también se ha preocupado por hablar de leyes y políticas públicas. Uno de sus últimos videos ha sido sobre el VIH y el SIDA un tema que ha descubierto que la gente ignora y por el que tiene muchos prejuicios, en sus redes sociales Daniel se dedica a indagar entre sus seguidores, sobre los temas que los jóvenes ignoran o los que tienen más dudas para explorarlos y discutirlos en su canal de YouTube, aun cuando ha admitido que este tipo de temas le desmonetiza su contenido, él prefiere hacerlo para ayudar a otros. Curiosidades Su primer libro lo comercializó en su colegio, era una historia sobre dos compañeros de clases, solo fue comprado por dos personas. Es Vegetariano. Ha sufrido de ansiedad. Es un gran fanático de Harry Potter. Sus mejores amigos son youtubers e influencers, algunos de ellos son Roenlared a quien conoció en el programa Fama!, Abi Power, Holly Molly y Ana Cerezuela. Su lema de vida es Less egos, more amigos. Síguenos en nuestras redes sociales y déjanos tus comentarios

Negative Messages
Announcing Negative News to Employees
By: Gurpreet Singh Purewal
Announcing negative message to a worker before a gathering of associates can be thought about criticism or hurt, and in the coming cases might be noteworthy and include legitimate implications. Notwithstanding the lawful obligation, you have the general objective of exhibiting polished methodology as you speak to yourself and your organization in keeping up the association with the representative, regardless of whether the ultimate objective is end.
Workers have struck back against their associations from numerous points of view, from debilitating comments to vandalism and PC infections. You will probably maintain a strategic distance from such conduct, not out of dread, but rather out of polished skill and regard for yourself and your association. Open lines of correspondence show in a relationship can help decrease the danger of social weakening or ill will. The sidebar underneath gives an agenda to conveying a negative message.
Negative Message Checklist (unknown, 2014)
1. Clear goal in mind
2. Clear instructions from supervisor (legal counsel)
3. Clear understanding of message
4. Clear understanding of audience/reader
5. Clear understanding of procedure and protocol
6. Clear, neutral opening
7. Clear explanation without admission of guilt or culpability
8. Clear statement of impact or negative news
9. Clear redirect with no reminders of negative news
10. Clear results with acceptance or action on negative news
Ways to deliver Bad news
By: Gurpreet Singh Purewal
Presenting Negative News in personal
The greater part of us detest struggle. It might entice to keep away from vis-à-vis association because of a paranoid fear of showdown, however conveying antagonistic news in person can be very viable, even vital, in numerous business circumstances. While considering a one-on-one gathering or a huge, formal gathering, think about the readiness and usage of the dialog.
Here are some methods to deliver negative news in person:
· Collect all the information needed
· Prepare and plan what you are going to say
· Explain cause, current situation and the method to solve it.
· If you are not fully confident, take a partner
· Do deliver bad news when the listener is already stressed, think about timing
youtube
Presenting negative news in Writing
Composing can be intrapersonal, between two individuals, gather correspondence, open correspondence, or even mass correspondence. One unmistakable preferred standpoint of exhibiting negative news in composing is the arranging and arrangement that goes into the message, making the underlying correspondence more unsurprising.
At the point when a message is conveyed orally in a relational setting, we may interfere with each other, we in some cases hear what we need to, and it regularly takes arrangement and listening abilities to get a handle on significance. While a composed message, similar to all messages, is available to elucidation, the scope of conceivable outcomes is limited and introduced inside the edge and configuration planned by the source or creator.
While revising the message check if:
1. Buffer includes nice praise
2. Move smoothly from buffer to reasons
3. Explain refusals clearly
4. Be realistic while closing

New Post has been published on Superbike News
New Post has been published on http://superbike-news.co.uk/wordpress/temperature-catalan-gp-grip-levels-layout/
Up to temperature: the Catalan GP, grip levels and layout
It’s soon time for the Gran Premi Monster Energy de Catalunya at the Circuit de Barcelona-Catalunya, but ahead of race talk it was time for a little more tourism, with Aleix Espargaró (Aprilia Racing Team Gresini), Pol Espargaró (Red Bull KTM Factory Racing), EG 0,0 Marc VDS riders Alex Marquez and Franco Morbidelli and EG 0,0 rider Aron Canet heading to FC Barcelona Stadium Camp Nou for a tour to celebrate 25 years since the squad won their first European Cup at Wembley – as well as a quick kickaround on the pitch with some legendary players such as Jose Mari Bakero, Carles Rexach, Julio Alberto and Guillermo Amor.
Back at the track, this weekend there is a photo exhibit dedicated to Luis Salom, who tragically lost his life in an accident at the Catalan GP last year. Featuring contributions from many of the MotoGP™ paddock’s permanently accredited photographers, the shots remembering the ‘Mexicano’ are placed along the corridor outside the Media Centre, and have been visited by many – including Dorna CEO Carmelo Ezpeleta, Joan Fontseré, General Manager of the Barcelona – Catalunya Circuit, Pedro Mas, President of the Balearinc Motorcycle Federation, Marco Rodrigo, Luis Salom’s manager, Angel Vialadoms, President of the Managing Commission of the Spanish Motorcycling Federation. Also, riders as Julito Simón, Jorge Lorenzo, and Tito Rabat.
In addition, as part of KiSS Barcelona, reigning Champion Marc Marquez (Repsol Honda Team) has planted a symbolic tree at the Circuit de Barcelona-Catalunya in his role as FIM Ride Green Ambassador, accompanied by young representatives of the “Climate Justice Ambassadors Network”, who have planted millions of trees around the world in collaboration with private and public institutions.
On to the business of racing, Valentino Rossi (Movistar Yamaha MotoGP), Danilo Petrucci (Octo Pramac Racing), Andrea Dovizioso (Ducati Team), Maverick Viñales (Movistar Yamaha MotoGP), Alvaro Bautista (Pull&Bear Aspar Team) and Marc Marquez (Repsol Honda Team) were on duty for the Pre-Event Press Conference, with talk centering on tyres – as always – as well as the hot temperatures of Barcelona, and the new layout in the final sector of the track.
Championship leader Viñales was first to speak, assessing his feelings now we’re a third of the way into the season – and seeing the positives of the new chicane added towards the end of the lap at his home race: “I’ve become stronger every time I get on the track, my bike and my team. In this part of the season I have good communication with my team and I feel great, the bike is there so we just need to do a lot of laps with the new layout. With the tyres, we need to work hard, especially in the hot conditions. It’s difficult to believe I’m leading the Championship. I’ve always been fast here, I love the track and the fans, and it’s great that I also feel good with the bike. But the new layout will make a difference. Let’s see with the setup, but I think with my riding style it will be a good part of the track.”
Dovizioso first looked back at Mugello – his first win in the dry at both his and Ducati’s home race – before a more measured outlook for the next GP: “The race in Mugello was unreal for us. I really didn’t expect it during the race. My pace was really good – I was a bit surprised and really happy. I could keep the same laptime until the end and the feeling with the bike was great. There were positives and negatives, but a lot of positives. But here is a completely different track and the test wasn’t so good. So I have a big question mark about this weekend. It will be important to see our speed, and if we can confirm it here it will be important. But we know this track is difficult for everyone. The grip isn’t so good, the tyre drops…it’s not so easy to manage, and it’s very hot in the afternoon. It’ll be very difficult for everyone, but for sure we arrive here confident!”
Feeling a little more confident – although not at 100% – is Valentino Rossi, who arrives to Montmelo more hopeful than Mugello after a motocross crash before the Italian GP, and won the race here last year: “My condition could be better, to be at 100% I would have needed another week, but unfortunately these races are in a row – it’s a shame, also for the Championship because they’re two of the best races in the Championship so it’s so busy! But fortunately for me I had a good race in Mugello and rode in front of all the fans, I didn’t have pain, but I knew I had to suffer a bit more over race distance because I was struggling more to ride the bike. So I hope here can be better. We need to understand the lines, the right way to ride the new layout, and the potential of the bike. We just need to be more competitive – the target is to be on the podium and have a good race.”
Reigning Champion Marquez was less conservative, saying his aim is the win this weekend – and that tyres will be the key: “Every race is important but a home race it’s always a special feeling with friends, family and my fan club here, so I’ll try and give 100% but also something more, and try and fight for the victory on Sunday. We know we need to work hard because it will be very warm, and we need to choose the right tyres. In Mugello I didn’t feel so bad during the weekend, but on Sunday we spoke a little bit and we realised we couldn’t finish the race with the tyre I liked best. So I chose the tyre with no feeling but to be able to get to the end. Here we hope to have a different feeling with the front. It’s a bit different here now, it’s like it has two parts – it’s only two corners changed but it’s quite a big change. In the test it was hard to find the right line, but I don’t think it will be much different in terms of the overall lap.”
Then it was time to give the mic to Petrucci – Mugello podium hero at Pramac’s home race – who spoke more of his own increased consistency, and had a request for Andrea Dovizioso: “From Saturday in Mugello we knew I could be fast, but maybe top five or close to the top five – I didn’t expect to fight for the race or the podium. It was good, I think it’s part of my process to be faster in the dry. Here the tyre choice will be crucial, and trying to set up the bike to save the tyre. This year I’ve made a big step in consistency in the races. In Austin I was two seconds behind Dovi, in Jerez the same – and in Mugello the same. So maybe Dovi can wait two seconds for me on Sunday?”
Consistency is also the key for Alvaro Bautista, who got some of it back in the Italian GP and wants to keep that ball rolling – with finishing the race at the Circuit de Barcelona-Catalunya with some good points the target, rather than any concrete goal: “In other races we were fast and consistent in practice, but I crashed when we’d been quite competitive. In Mugello we improved qualifying a bit and I could start further forward, and then for me it was important to finish. So I just got my rhythm and was in the top five. It was important for me and the team, for motivation and confidence. From the beginning I felt really good on this bike, and in the races and in race pace. Austin was more difficult, but in the rest I felt good. We can finish in good positions, but then crashes are also part of the game. So I’ll try to keep this line we got in Mugello and try and be more consistent, finishing and taking points.”
25 of those points are on offer this weekend for the winner of the Gran Premi Monster Energy de Catalunya – what remains to be seen is who can navigate the low grip, tyres and setup the best, and all underneath the boiling sun of Barcelona. At 13:00 (GMT +2) on Sunday, we’ll find out.
