ULTIMATE ROBERTO DA COSTA

Ultimate Universe: One Year In

Spoiler-ish information about Roberto's role in the story below:

So Emmanuel gets blood transfusions to maintain his youth. Because Roberto is still a mutant in this verse, Emmanuel temporarily gets Roberto's superpowers from the transfusions. The narration notes Roberto is only one of several "blood boys."

I'm just happy to see my favorite character again!

NEW X-MEN: THE ANIMATED SERIES - SEASON 2, EPISODE 10

 We open in the hallways of a private school. A blonde teenage girl in a uniform struts down the hall with her nose in the air and a look of smug superiority on her face. At her locker, a mousy, plain, brown-haired, and timid Emma Frost is terrified of her as she approaches. 

Emma awkwardly greets the girl, whose name is Matilda, unable to even look her in the eye out of fear. Matilda mocks her for being such a little wimp. She’s an embarrassment to girls everywhere. 

MATILDA: “And with how you looked after getting your report card just now, you must be a disappointment to your family too.” Emma hugs herself, ashamed of her failures. “All the money in the world can’t make a loser anything else I suppose.” 

As Emma whimpers, we cut between a rapid montage of Emma swallowing pills, drinking, and snorting substances. 

Still in the past, at Emma’s family’s old estate, Emma sheepishly tries to sell her B-filled report card to her father as a good thing, only to get berated for her continued failure, nothing like Adrienne. As she’s on the verge of tears, she looks to her mother for support. Her mother sees her looking her way but only sips her whiskey. 

Emma runs off in tears to her room…where she shrieks as she finds all of her stuff broken. 

Behind her, a pre-teen girl snickers. 

CORDELIA: “That’s for telling Mother and Father I snuck out last month.” 

As Cordelia laughs and walks off, Emma falls to her knees, hugging her torn-up stuffed bunny. 

Another rapid montage occurs, with a glassy-eyed Emma continuing to spiral via drugs and liquor. 

A few years following her high school days, Emma sits in a dressing room, having just finished a performance as a stripper. As she’s getting ready to go home, Sebastian Shaw barges in. Before Emma can ask what he’s doing, he grabs her and smashes her face into the mirror, screaming at her for daring to invade his mind with her illusion. 

Emma, no longer a child, doesn’t cower, but instead forces him to let go and step back with a psychic attack. This is exactly what Shaw hoped would happen. He got the feeling she was extremely powerful when she was in his head. At his side, he could show her how to use her abilities for so much more than simple survival. And together, they could take over the whole world. 

Emma’s eyes fill with uncertainty and fear before she smirks evilly. 

Hard cut to a Hellfire headquarters, where Emma and Shaw, nearly naked, laugh as they sip their drinks and watch Hellfire soldiers chase down a completely stripped Matilda with machine guns. 

In the present, Emma tosses an unconscious Storm onto the floor of a Hellfire base, surrounded by 18th-century regalia. She declares that with her finally dealt with, they can proceed with destroying the rest of the X-Men, transforming Cyclops into the perfect White King, and taking control of the entire next generation of Mutants. 

She’s joined in cheers of victory by Shaw, Selene Gallio, and Emmanuel Da Costa. 

At the Grindstone, Luna is chatting on the phone, twirling her hair. The friend group is seated in a booth, and Brian and Cessily are role-playing as her and who she's talking to, acting over-the-top lovey dovey. 

Sooraya tells them to knock it off. She's happy Karma found a girlfriend. 

JULIAN: "She deserves better than some Flatscan."

NORIKO: "Yeah, Luna's a pretty chill boss, but he's right."

Sofia narrows her eyes at the two. 

SOFIA: "Did you two find Magneto and take a class with him when we weren't looking?"

JULIAN: "Something like that. So, what are we doing this weekend?"

Cessily and Roxy gleefully remind everyone that they're gonna be out of town filming the Washingtons' music video, Noriko is working, and Sooraya is going to be getting ready for finals so she doesn't need to cram in a few weeks, while also helping Brian, and Laura was assigned a solo mission by Ms. Frost. 

Julian and Sofia turn to each other as they realize they're the only ones without plans. Julian shoots her a small, boyish smile, with her turning her head away, blushing. Noriko cringes, only to snap at Laura as she notices her staring at her, asking what she's looking at. Laura shrugs. 

Back in the Hellfire base, Emma informs her companions of the next steps, as the audience sees them play out. Storm was the biggest hurdle she needed to overcome because she's more powerful than her, she didn't trust her, and she has the strongest psychic defenses she's ever seen in a non-telepath. The rest will fall much more easily. 

Iceman's psychic defense is substantial thanks to Xavier's personal tutoring, but the poor fool actually trusts her. At a club, Emma casually subdues Bobby as they drink together. 

Wolverine's only advantage is that her dear students will worry about her if she goes missing. Hence why she's told Laura, who she knows will tell her friends, that she's been assigned a mission along with Storm and the other easy targets. Emma knocks Laura out as she heads into one of the X-Men's jets. 

EMMANUEL: "What of my son?"

SELENE: "And the demon. Perhaps I can play?"

Emma shakes her head. She assures Emmanuel that she can handle Sunspot, and that they'll help him see the light in due time. Roberto may be cautious, but Cable hardly spent time on training his mind. He goes down without any trickery on Emma's part. 

As for Magik, her mind is strange and difficult to play with…but a subtle suggestion to stay in Limbo for a little while should be doable. By the time she returns, she'll be too late. As Magik passes by Emma in the hall, her eyes glow blue, and she opens up a stepping disc, returning her to her domain. 

EMMA "Besides our future King, that only leaves one of them remaining. The only one besides Storm who could potentially ruin everything for us."

Emma takes a dagger, and stabs a picture of Kitty belching with it. 

At the Institute, Kitty, with Lockheed on her shoulder, barges into Scott's office, phasing through the door, and asking what the deal is with this mission Storm, Iceman, Magik, Sunspot, and Wolverine were sent on. Why isn't she with them, why aren't he and Emma, and why hasn't she seen Ororo since the France trip? 

SCOTT, sipping coffee from a "World's Most Acceptable Boyfriend" mug: "Good morning to you too."

Kitty and Lockheed both stick their tongues out at him. 

Scott explains that they received word from Wakanda that Shadow King was back. He's always been a personal matter for Storm, so he let her take a team to deal with him. She just thought after dumping the school on her, she could use the rest. 

Kitty doesn't appear convinced, but Cyclops asks her to just trust him again. Things have finally been put to bed between him, Storm, and Emma. He wants things back to normal for them too. 

Kitty glares at him with narrowed eyes. 

KITTY: "We'll see."

Kitty walks out, telling Lockheed he can poop in the Blackbird if Scott's lying. Once she's gone, Scott gets a headache. 

SCOTT: "Wait…when did Ororo and I last talk? Didn't we–"

Scott's train of thought is interrupted as Emma enters the office.

Emma: "Not another headache." Emma makes her way over to Scott and sits in his lap. "I'll have someone fetch an aspirin. Let me in, and I'll soothe what I can while we wait."

Scott pulls her into his arms, groaning as he thanks her. Jean used to do this all the time for him too. As Scott allows Emma free reign in his head, Emma sneers. Scott's eyes glow blue.

SCOTT: "Actually…this is much better than when Jean did it."

Emma: "I know, Darling. I know."

In the school’s dance studio, the Cuckoos are performing a routine. Dazzler watches and assesses them while nodding and sucking on a lollipop. As the Cuckoos finish, Dazzler shuts of the music and gathers the girls around. 

Allison has to admit, she’s a little surprised. She thought the bad attitudes they have were compensating for a lack of talent, but they’ve actually got something. 

ALLISON: “Poor taste in music aside, but we can work on that. Other things I noticed…” 

While Dazzler gives critiques of their performance, the Cuckoos ignore her, speaking with each other telepathically. 

PHOEBE: “She’s insulting us.” 

IRMA: “She just told us we did well! DAZZLER thinks we have talent!” 

ESME: “Then she shouldn’t be speaking like this right now. We should make her forget how to speak.” 

CELESTE: “Sophie?” 

Sophie narrows her eyes at Dazzler, but rather than do anything to her, she lights up her own eyes, as well the those of her sisters. They postures all become more at ease. 

Dazzler finishes speaking. 

DAZZLER: “Any questions or are you ready to run it again?” 

The Cuckoos smile politely as Allison. 

SOPHIE: “Thank you, Ms. Blaire. We’re ready.” 

Later, out in the hall, the Cuckoos are quietly excited with what just happened. They actually kept a lid on their cruel impulse. Dazzler definitely didn’t like them at the start, but she actually seems to be warming up to them. 

CELESTE: “Ms. Frost will be thrilled.” 

SOPHIE: “Don’t get ahead of yourself. We still have a lot of work to do. But maybe we are ready to try setting things right.” 

That night, Kitty is in her classroom grading papers. She sighs in disappointment as she has to give Noriko another D. She knows she can do better. 

“Never had to worry about that with you, kiddo!” 

Kitty jolts up to her feet. 

KITTY: “Daddy?!” 

“Not just the book stuff,” she hears Logan’s voice say. “You were a natural at everything.” 

KITTY: “Logan?” 

Kitty tenses up, but quickly exhales. 

KITTY: “Whoever’s messing with me…whatever supervillian is trying to use my dad to get to me, you better hope I’m not the one who finds you.” 

Kitty rushes out of the classroom, contacting Cyclops on her communicator. She wants his location so they can rendezvous. Someone’s messing with her mind. Maybe Shadow King. Emma needs to run a scan of everyone in the school immediately. 

There’s no response. 

KITTY: “Oh come on, Scott. Please tell me you aren’t in b…” 

Kitty trails off as she screams. As she enters the common area, she finds Dani, Xuan, Kurt, Hank, Jean-Paul, Allison, and James dead and hung on meathooks. 

Kitty stumbles back and her heart pounds. She reminds herself that there’s nothing to be afraid of. She’s seen this kind of thing a million times. None of this is real. 

“Oh, I’m afraid this is very, very real, Kitten.” 

Kitty spins around and sees Emma, who appears most pleased with her handiwork. 

Kitty clenches her face and her fists. 

KITTY: “I may not trust Emma, but you have to be pretty dumb to think I believe she’d ever do THIS.” 

Emma proceeds to blast Kitty into the wall with her psychic lightning. As Kitty’s eyes fill with panic, she phases through the floor. 

EMMA: “Oh. How fun. A chase.” 

In Sofia’s room, she’s lying in bed with a notebook and pen in hand. On the pages, there are countless potential nicknames for her followers she’s crossed and scribbled out. There are also various swears written above, below, and next to them, in both English and Spanish. This might be getting to her a little bit. 

SOFIA: “I will figure this out if it is the last thing I do.” 

Her eyes glow blue, prompting her to put the book down and leave her room. 

Julian is in the bathroom, getting ready for bed, and lamenting the fact he’s running out of his skin cream and is going to have to start buying cheap shit. He should ask Ashida where she shops. 

His eyes flash blue, and he leaves the bathroom without any of his things. 

Sofia and Julian end up wandering over to the same spot in the hallways, where their senses return to them. The two are both flustered to see each other and unsure of how they got here. 

JULIAN: “Wait…I know which hall this is.” 

The door they’re at opens, revealing Phoebe, who welcomes them both and asks them both to come inside. 

SOFIA, pissed: “What do you think you are doing?” 

JULIAN: “Taking control of us AGAIN? What is your damage?”

PHOEBE: “We know that you hate us. We understand why. But we wish to make amends. And we knew you wouldn’t speak to us if we came to you.” 

Julian and Sofia exchange an uneasy glance, unsure if they should trust this. 

Through the dark hallways, Emma stalks Kitty, her heels clacking against the wooden floor. 

EMMA, telepathically: “You aren’t going to find help, Kitten. The teachers are dead, Cyclops is elsewhere, and the rest of the X-Men have already been taken care of. Unless you plan on endangering our dear students, you’re all alone. Don’t fear for the children though. This is for them. Under Hellfire’s guidance, they’ll all have bright futures to look forward to.” 

Emma stops in front of a mirror and dons a slasher smile. 

EMMA: “Did you really think you could hide from me?” 

Emma is met with a punch to the face as Kitty phases her fist through the mirror and breaks Emma’s nose. 

EMMA, stumbling back: “Why you–! Do you have any idea how much that nose bloody cost?!” 

From beneath her, Kitty comes up through the floor and kicks her upside the chin. Kitty’s face is red and she’s sobbing in rage. 

KITTY: “WHY?!” 

EMMA, wiping up the blood on her face: “Oh, please. Don’t act so betrayed. This was the plan all along. You X-Men and your ineffective methods will never cost our people their lives again.” 

Emma tells her it’s not too late for her though. Scott will be ruling their new Mutant-run world alongside her, but they’re also planning on turning Laura, Bobby, and Beto to their side as well. And if Kitty joined them, Magik would follow suit. 

EMMA: “Come. Be what you were born to be.” 

There’s a moment of tension, but not an ounce of consideration from Kitty. Kitty rushes Emma. Emma tries to put her down with a psychic attack, but all she can do is give Kitty an equally bloody nose. She’s forced to send her flying with telekinesis. 

EMMA: “You’re out for blood, aren’t you? Good. You touch my chest or head and I’m dead. Go ahead. Keep trying.” 

Kitty, realizing there’s no point in continuing to try upfront assaults, slams her hands down on the floor and makes the parts directly underneath the two of them immaterial, causing them both to fall through it. 

In mid-air, Kitty runs on the air toward Emma, who’s been caught off guard. Emma still manages to react in time, however, tossing her away again, but Kitty pushes down against the air so she can hit the floor a split-second faster and phase them both through it. 

Emma is once again forced to hesitate, and this time Kitty launches herself off the air flinging herself at her opponent. But once again, she fails to reach Emma as she unleashes psychic lightning from her whole body, blasting up their surroundings, as well as Kitty. Kitty, slowed down by her injuries, isn’t able to phase the two into the basement before Emma goes into her diamond form and smashes the floor, this time catching Kitty by surprise. Emma catches them both in mid-air and takes the opportunity to once again strike as Kitty telepathically. 

Kitty screams in agony as blood drips out of her nose and eyes. 

EMMA: “Last chance.” 

KITTY: “F…ff..fuck you.” 

Kitty utilizes the Red Triangle to send Emma’s attack back at her. They both fall to the floor, but Emma lands on her side, while Kitty, although her knees are buckled, lands on her feet. Kitty approaches her. 

EMMA, her eyes practically mocking Kitty: “Go ahead…do it.” 

Kitty looks down out at her with burning hatred. 

KITTY: "You are everything that is evil and wrong. I won't let you hurt anyone else…ever again!"

Kitty sticks her hand inside Emma’s chest, but before she can do anything, her eyes glow blue. She harmlessly phases out of Emma and falls unconscious. 

Emma pants in relief as she stands up. Kitty almost had her. But the mind can’t fully defend itself while consumed with rage. 

Shaw enters the basement. 

SHAW, condescendingly: “I thought you were going to require some assistance.” 

EMMA: “Oh, do shut it.” 

In the Cuckoos’ room, the rest of the sisters thank Julian and Sofia for giving them a chance. Sofia asks why they decided to do this so late, with Sophie answering that they didn’t wish to speak to the rest of their friends yet. 

Sophie further explains that, when the sisters first arrived at the school, Ms. Frost had intended to introduce them to Hellion and Wind Dancer. She thought the best should mingle with the best. But they had their own plan. That failed. And they made another plan. That failed too.

SOPHIE: “We’re tired of failing.”

ESME: “It isn’t what Cuckoos do.” 

PHOEBE: “If you’re willing to give us one more chance, we’d like to start over.” 

CELESTE: “Do what we should have done from the start.” 

Julian can’t believe them. After how they tormented them, their friends, and the entire school, they think they can just start clean? 

SOFIA: “I believe in second chances. If you all want to turn over a new leaf, and this isn’t just a trick, I am rooting for you. But I’m not sure what you want from us is possible.” 

Irma promises them this is no trick. 

IRMA: “We only wish to stop being alone together.” 

ESME: “To be loved, not hated.” 

That last part naturally connects with Julian, whose disgusted sneer morphs into a look of frustration. 

JULIAN: “Well…maybe we could–” 

Julian is cut off as the Cuckoos scream. He and Sofia ask what’s wrong as the five-in-one pant. 

PHOEBE: “Something on the astral plane.” 

SOPHIE: “Something…is very wrong with Ms. Frost.” 

A limo drives through the city underneath the sky. Scott sits in the back. A peaceful, but joyful smile is on his face as he scrolls through pictures of him and Emma having fun on their France trip. As he flips through, however, he gets a headache, and he starts seeing things. 

When he looks at a picture of the two of them eating in a fancy restaurant, he imagines the two of them back there, only he makes Emma laugh by blasting away the waitress after she doesn’t get what she ordered. When he looks at a picture of the two of them by the water, he imagines Emma making him laugh by mind-controlling someone and making them jump in the river, and whispering in his ear that she made him forget how to swim. Finally, as he looks at a picture of the two of them on the helicopter ride he enjoyed so much, he imagines holding Emma in his arms and telling her that, one day, this will be theirs. 

EMMA: “That goes for the whole world, Darling.” 

As Scott experiences each of these flashes, his outfits become more and more white. 

Scott’s head is throbbing as the car stops. 

SCOTT: “Wait…where am I right now?” 

Bumpkin opens the backseat door and tells Mr. Summers he can go inside. Ms. Frost will be meeting him here soon. 

BUMPKIN: “I hope you have any idea what Ms. Frost is doing in a place like this.” 

Scott steps out of the car. The audience doesn’t get a clear look at where he is. 

SCOTT: “What the Hell?” 

Back at the school, Emma is on her way out, telekinetically carrying Kitty’s unconscious body behind her. Honestly, a part of her is going to miss this place. It was fun while it lasted. 

Emma psychically opens the door, but before she can step through it…

HELLION: “Ms. Frost! The Cuckoos felt something was wrong with you. Are you okay?” 

SOFIA: “What happened to Ms. Pryde?” 

CUCKOOS: “And to your nose?” 

Emma places Kitty down and turns to face the eight children who just rushed into the foyer.

EMMA, with a large, bright smile: “Just the bright, incredible children I was hoping to see. Come along. I shall explain on the way.” 

HELLION: “On the way where?” 

Emma asks if Julian and Sofia remember that little scheme they helped her with last semester. Well, that was only one part of a much greater plan. She’s taken her place back as the White Queen of Hellfire, the world will soon be hers, and she’d very much like her favorite students to join her. 

EMMA: “All of your friends and classmates will get to be a part of the dominant species on Earth. And the eight of you will enjoy lives of unimaginable wealth and power. I promise this is no trick, no game.” 

The Cuckoos seem to be tempted and Julian is just confused, while Sofia…

SOFIA: “Is that what happened to Ms. Pryde? You made that offer to her and she said no?” 

EMMA: “Yes it is. You know that I always wanted to teach her as I do you. And I know that you’re all much smarter than–” 

Emma is cut off as Sofia raises her hands and blows Emma back into the wall with a fearsome wind. Julian is shocked, in disbelief that she’d attack Ms. Frost, but Sofia reminds him that they’re X-Men in training, and she just admitted to being a supervillain; they HAVE to stop her. Emma looks at Julian with judgmental eyes, hoping he’ll see reason, but he just lights up with TK energy, still shoulder to shoulder with Sofia. 

JULIAN: “I don’t know what’s going on, but I don’t believe one word out of your mouth. This isn’t you.” 

Emma sighs in annoyance. 

EMMA: “Girls, please take them out.” 

The Cuckoos glare at Emma. 

SOPHIE: “Sorry, Ms. Frost.” 

PHOEBE: “We’re following your previous advice.” 

CELESTE: “Being better.” 

Julian and Sofia’s eyes turn blue and stay that way. The Cuckoos tell them they aren’t powerful enough to harm Emma psychically, but they can shield the two of them from her telepathy so they have a chance here. 

EMMA, shaking her: “Foolish children. Please do not force me to harm you. This isn’t a fight you can–” 

Julian telekinetically smashes a vass into Emma’s head. Emma seethes, going into her diamond form. 

EMMA: “Fine. Disciplinary measures are necessary. Prepare yourselves, my students! Class is in session.” 

In a dark, unknown location, Iceman’s eyes flicker open. Realizing he’s shackled against a wall by his wrists and ankles, he tries to go into his ice form, but his powers don’t work. He tries again in frustration but to no avail. 

“Don’t bother.” 

Bobby sighs, happy to at least hear Ororo’s voice, and hoping she has some idea what’s going on here. Storm asks Bobby if he’s dressed. Bobby looks down at himself and realizes that, no, he is not. 

BOBBY: “Hellfire?” 

STORM: “Emma."

Bobby asks what she’s talking about, with Ororo explaining how Emma tricked her into lowering her guard back in France. Before she was knocked out, Emma took the time to mock her. She’s been planning on betraying them from the start. He doesn’t believe that, as he’s been…

BOBBY: “Well, not friends, but not enemies either…” 

…with Emma longer than the rest of them, but Storm is sick and tired of people trying to excuse her, even now. 

Bobby turns his head and sees that, along with him and Storm, Wolverine and Sunspot have also been captured and stripped, but are still unconscious. Bobby casts his head down. He doesn’t get it. She went out of her way to recruit him. Why would she power up the team if this was her endgame? 

Storm doesn’t know and she doesn’t care. She’s putting her full faith in Kitty, and in Scott finally opening his eyes, and trusting the two of them will stop whatever she’s doing. Then, after she herself has had the chance to beat Emma within an inch of her life, and seen to it that she will never trouble them again, they need to start over. 

STORM: “Sunspot and Wolverine have done well…but we must return to what worked best.” 

She wants Laura to go back to being a normal student, Sunspot to be allowed to do whatever he wants, just not with the X-Men, and the remaining team to find a way to deal with “Magik” permanently. 

STORM: “There is so much darkness for us to purge”. 

And once that’s done, the two of them, Scott, and Kitty can rebuild the X-Men properly. No “New X-Men”. Just their family. 

STORM: “I know this will be difficult, Robert. For all of us. But for the good of everyone, it must be done.” 

Bobby is hesitant, but quickly nods in affirmation. 

Back in the school, Hellion and Wind Dancer float themselves and the Cuckoos into the air to keep them out of Emma’s reach, knowing that she can’t use any of her other powers while she’s in her diamond form. But with the strength Emma possesses in her diamond form, she’s able to simply kick herself off the ground. Hellion creates a shield, but it’s easily shattered by Emma. He’s only saved from her fist himself thanks to Sofia blowing him away. 

Emma, knowing that her other non-telepathic abilities can’t keep up with the children, elects to not catch herself in mid-air, instead choosing to fall back to the floor. 

SOFIA: “If you were a villain all along, why did you work so hard to train us as X-Men?” 

EMMA: “I was TRYING to open your eyes to how useless they are.” 

In the corner, Shaw, now joined by Selene, snickers. 

SHAW: “That’s not a very good answer.” 

SELENE: “What WERE you thinking?” 

EMMA, turning her head to them: “Silence!” 

Sofia and Julian exchange a confused glance. 

Frustrated and off-kilter, Emma sets her eyes on the Cuckoos. 

EMMA: “Sorry, girls.” 

Emma throws herself at their airborne Cuckoos. Julian drops them down to the floor before Emma can reach them, while Sofia creates a wind in mid-air to keep Emma from returning to the ground. At the same time, Julian directs all the energy he has stored up into his hands. If she goes back into her human form for even a second to use her telekinesis to escape, Julian will take her out. 

Emma glares at the two, as well as the terrified Cuckoos below her, before exiting her diamond form and NOT using her telekinesis. 

EMMA: “Don’t shoot!” Emma wells up. “Please. Let me explain. Honestly.” 

SOFIA: “Don’t believe her, Julian.” 

JULIAN: “Obviously. But there has to be something we don’t know. None of this makes sense.” 

Emma sniffles. When they went to Manchester with her, they helped her stop her older sister, Adrienne. But she isn’t her only sister. She has a younger one. One far more chaotic. She didn’t take her for much of a planner but now…now…

JULIAN: “Now what?” 

EMMA: “Now…” Emma grins evilly. “She’s in Hawaii.” 

Emma breaks out of Sofia’s winds. Julian, getting really sick of this, blasts at her, but that’s exactly what Emma was counting on, once again taking using a split-second advantage, and telekinetically tossing the Cuckoos into the line of fire, blasting them not into a wall, but through one. 

Julian and Sofia both scream in horror, unsure if they’re even still alive, but their fear isn’t given the chance to last long. With the Cuckoos out of play, it only takes a thought for Emma to put Hellion and Wind Dancer to sleep. 

Emma descends to the floor and clutches her heart. She hadn’t planned on two consecutive fights. 

EMMA: “Rest easy, children. You shall wake up to a brighter tomorrow.” 

Emma looks down at Julian and Sofia. Her expression softens. Guilt overwhelms her. 

EMMA: “Goddess…what am I doing?” 

Emma hangs her head, but before she can think on this any longer, Shaw puts his arm around her shoulders. 

SHAW: “The only thing you’re good for.” 

Emma is shaken but steels herself. Shaw is right. 

Leaving the kids behind, she picks Kitty up, and the Hellfire members make their way out. 

In the luxurious Hellfire base, Emmanuel plays the piano. Emma, with Shaw and Selene behind her, enters and tosses Kitty down on the floor, having already equipped her with depowering handcuffs on the car ride there. 

“Emma!” 

Emma proudly smiles to greet her guest of honor. 

EMMA: “There’s my king.” Emma saunters over to Scott and places a gloved hand on his face. “I hope the servants have accommodated you well.” 

SCOTT: “Serv…?” Scott pulls Emma off of him. “What is going on here? What did you do to Kitty?” 

Emma casually dismisses his concern and says she’s alive. What matters is how he’s feeling. 

SCOTT: “Like I need you to answer my other question.”

Emma is annoyed. She couldn’t WASTE her opportunity to take out Storm, but her work with Scott wasn’t finished yet.

SELENE: “I warned you.” 

EMMA: “And now, I have to rush things. Believe me when I say this is for your own good.” 

Emma psy-blasts Scott, filling his head with thoughts of not just what she’d put in there during the car ride here, but thoughts of leading a powerful mutant army across the globe, interspersed with sexual thoughts of the two of them. 

Scott falls to his knees as he tries to resist. Emma tells him not to fight it. With Hellfire’s help, she is going to do what she’s dreamed of since she was 22 and take over the world. And the only thing she wants more is for the only man to ever be her equal to be right alongside her. Become her White King and rule at her side. 

Scott’s breath weakens and his muscles shake as Emma grins. But Scott grits his teeth. And the visuals in his head are replaced with ones the audience has seen before. Emma walking into his office on that first day of school, bringing her back onto the team after he fired her, when they first started talking for real, killing Stryker and saving her from the Sentinels, their first time sleeping together, executing Nova together, becoming a couple, the highs and lows of their mission in China, the gifts they’ve gotten one another and all the genuine fun they had in France, and, finally, something we haven’t seen before: Emma shielding Scott on Genosha from the sentinels, from Scott’s POV. 

Cyclops breaks free from Emma’s attack and blasts her back. 

Emma is outraged that Scott would strike her. 

EMMA: “Can’t you see everything I’m offering you? The X-Men are gone, defeated all by my hand. Right here is where you belong!” 

SCOTT: “Right here?! Right HERE?!” 

EMMA: “Yes! What is the problem?! Would you like to move to a different room? For Shaw and our other partners to leave and give us some privacy? Would that make you feel better?!” 

Scott’s face falls. He isn’t angry. He’s scared. 

SCOTT: “Emma…where do you think we are right now?” 

The audience stops seeing this room from Emma’s perspective and sees it for what it is, as the piano music abruptly cuts off, replaced with nothing. Scott and Emma aren’t in a Hellfire base. Shaw, Selene, and Emmanuel aren’t even really there. 

The two are in a defunct factory. One which, based on what’s all around them, used to produce sentinels. 

Emma’s smile and confidence disappear in a flash. 

EMMA: “I…I don’t know what you’re talking about.” 

Scott says he’ll explain then. He doesn’t know what’s going on with her, but right now, they’re in an old sentinel factory. He’d questioned why Emma would have her driver bring him here, but she doesn’t realize what she did, does she? 

Scott slowly approaches Emma, but she screams at him to say back. She’ll crush his mind like a bug if he takes one step closer. 

Scott stops for a moment. And then takes a step. Emma roars as blasts him with psychic lightning, tormenting him physically as she also assaults him mentally, reducing him to a curled-up ball on the floor. 

EMMA: “I know exactly what I’m doing! I know exactly where we are! And I know exactly what needs to happen here! I am the White Queen! Enemy of the X-Men! Taker and destroyer of countless lives! I am the evil villain of the story, and you the bold, noble hero. Yes! We’re in a sentinel factory! But not the one we destroyed together, no, no. This one’s close to home. This is one I helped fund. One of several! Because someone as heartless as me only cared about the money to be made from it. No matter how many of my own people they murdered.” 

Emma halts her attacks. Scott vomits up blood and pants, unable to get off the floor. 

EMMA: “Here’s the situation! I’ll explain it like one of your training scenarios. Your X-Men have been captured by the White Queen. You stand alone. If you fail to save your team, they will all be killed, and the world will be crushed under her heel. What do you do?!” 

Scott tries and fails to speak, coughing up more blood. Emma gives him a boost by standing him up. 

SCOTT: “D…do…” 

EMMA: “Either skip the talking or spit it out!” Emma sneers. “Better yet, I’ll make this easy for you.” 

Both of their eyes glow, as Emma travels inside Scott’s mind. 

Inside Scott’s mindscape, the two stand in an endless red void where faded memories swim across the non-existent walls. 

EMMA: “Tell me, Cyclops. Tell me what you do.” 

Scott takes a breath. 

SCOTT: “See that’s a tough one. Because I don’t know if you want me to kill you or kiss you.” 

EMMA: “What?” 

SCOTT: “One second, you’re acting like you want me to be your “king”. The next you’re trying to make me fight you. Either take us out of my mind and let me see yours or talk to me. Please! Talk to me.” 

Emma finally snaps completely. Of course he can’t understand her! No one ever has! That’s by design. She is a diamond, by definition her own best friend, and cold, and hard, and sharp. 

EMMA: “I am a monster, Scott Summers! That’s why I’ve hurt and killed so many, and relished every moment of their pain! That’s why you’re the only man, only person, ever to be stupid and naive enough to care about me! That’s why every man, woman, and child I try to protect always dies!” 

And just like that, Scott puts it all together. 

The mindscape fades away. In the real world, Scott is on his feet, breathing normally again, while Emma is sobbing on her knees. 

EMMA: “All I’m good for is being the villain. And if you, the remarkable idiot I don’t deserve won’t be one with me…then just keep me from ever hurting anyone again.” 

Emma apologizes. To the Hellions. To Synch and Skin. To the Genoshans. 

EMMA: “I will burn with you all soon.” 

Scott bends down. His visor lights up. Emma prepares for the sweet release of death. But it doesn’t come. Cyclops removes his visor, but no lasers come out. He just looks Emma in the eyes. 

Emma is confused, before realizing she’s an idiot too. Scott’s as well trained mentally as Storm. They’re still in his mindscape. 

Scott tells Emma that he’s sorry…

SCOTT: “...and before you can question, “What the bloody Hell are you talking about?”...

…he explains that he’s sorry he wasn’t able to earn her trust to a point she felt like she could talk to him about these thoughts, whenever they stated. Because if she had, he would have told her he sometimes thinks about himself like this. 

SCOTT: “I’ve never been a “villain”. but we’ve both been people we don’t want to be anymore. Both sculped by people who only saw us one way…ones who hurt us. Both carrying the guilt of 16 million deaths on our shoulders. Both responsible for the deaths of all the people who’ve looked to us for guidance. Who loved us. Who we loved. I look at myself in the mirror every day, and I’m not questioning who I’m looking at, I’m questioning why I should even keep going after so many failures. And that’s what amazes me such about about you. Even after all those failures, everyone you’ve lost…you still keep fighting.” Illusions of Julian and Sofia, followed by the rest of the squad, and then the entire student body surround them. “For them..” 

Emma tears up as the tiniest hint of a smile breaks through her rage and desperation. 

Whatever you’ve done in the past, whatever you blame yourself for, however you see yourself…I don’t care. You are the most narcissistic woman I’ve ever met, you look down on everyone around you, you can be needlessly cruel, you refuse to be open about anything…and there is no one I’d rather have at my side, defending our people. Maybe I am an idiot for this, but I love you, Emma Frost.” 

Emma shrieks at the top of her lungs, letting it all out, as she becomes a sobbing mess in Scott’s arms. The mindscape is shattered, as the two hold each other in the real world. 

EMMA, barely audible: “I love you too.” 

Scott holds her tight as he kisses the crown of her head, and presses their heads together. 

Morning finally arrives at the school. It’s shown that the teachers were never actually killed, that much was an illusion, and they’re all now just waking up. A grumpy Magik pops into Dani and Karma’s room from Limbo to shout about killing whoever messed with her mind. With somber expressions, Storm, Kitty, Sunspot, Iceman, and Wolverine sit in the teacher’s lounge sipping coffee and tea. Laura ends up spitting hers out. She forgot she hates coffee. That’s enough to make everyone laugh a little…except Storm. 

In the med bay, Julian and Sofia wake up. Beast welcomes them back, but also calls out Julian, asking him to PLEASE stop ending up here; it feels like it’s every other week. 

As Beast departs, Julian and Sofia turn to each other.  Everything seems normal. Was it all just a dream? 

“I wish it were that simple.” 

Julian and Sofia tremble as Emma enters. As they do, they notice the five-in-one are also in the med-bay, and haven’t woken up. Julian panics over if they’re okay, but Emma puts his fears at ease. Yes, his attack very easily could have crushed every bone in their bodies, but Emma put a psychic field in between them and the TK blast, so they were merely concussed. 

SOFIA: “You protected them? So WAS this another of your schemes? Or were you possessed?” 

JULIAN: “It had to have been something, right?” 

 Emma sighs, and mentally projects the cliffnotes of what’s gone on into their heads. Julian and Sofia are speechless. 

EMMA: “I am not well. And there are no words to express how sorry I am for harming all of you. Cyclops and I have called for Professor Xavier. He will be arriving soon to me ensure nothing like this ever happens again.”

Emma tells them that she will do anything she can to make this up to them. And that she completely understands if they would like her to step down as their co-mentor. 

EMMA: “I have run away from my students after hurting them before. I will not do that again. But I will walk if it’s what you want.” 

Julian is the first to speak. He doesn’t get anything about all that mental health crap, but it sounds to him like she brainwashed herself. She wasn’t herself, and that means there’s nothing to be angry about. Besides, she still took out the X-Men while not even in her right mind. Why wouldn’t he want to learn from someone who can do that? 

Emma is silently pleased her boy still trusts her. As for Sofia, she insists that Julian is wrong. Everything Ms. Frost did was done by at least a real part of her, no matter how much it was hurting. 

SOFIA: “But I remember what it’s like to almost lose yourself. What’s important is that you stop before it’s too late.” She looks lovingly at Julian. “Or that you have people who care enough to stop you.” 

Emma thanks the two for their forgiveness. And, if that’s all the case, then she hopes they won’t mind hearing how proud she is of all of them. 

EMMA, eyes on the Cuckoos: “The Cuckoos stepped up. They did all they could to assist you in stopping me. I wasn’t sure my lessons with them were bearing fruit.” 

EMMA, eyes on Julian: “Hellion, your loyalty and belief in me did not go unnoticed. Nor your bravery in being willing to fight in spite of it.” Julian grins as Emma turns to Sofia. “And you, Wind Dancer, impressed me most of all. You assessed the situation, you struck first, and you brought the others in line with you, despite knowing you stood no chance. That sounds like a future X-Man to me.” Sofia grins as well. 

Emma thanks them once again, and apologizes once more as well, and tells them to come see her when they’re feeling up to it; their lessons are about to get much, much more difficult. 

Once she’s gone…

JULIAN: “So, um…”

SOFIA: “No, me first. I just wanted to say that we–um…

JULIAN: “Maybe I should just say that I–” 

The two laugh together. 

Julian telekinetically moves one of his hands right over to Sofia’s so she doesn’t need to strain herself by moving. 

JULIAN: “Wanna catch a movie this weekend?” 

SOFIA, taking his head: “That sounds nice. But I guess I’m the one paying now.” 

JULIAN, cringing: “Ashida told you.” 

Sofia laughs again. And Julian can’t help but laugh with her. 

In Scott’s office, the 8 X-Men are gathered. Everyone has been made aware of the situation. And now, they must decide what to do about it. 

Cyclops knows everyone has to be angry. Rightfully so. They were hurt. Physically. Mentally. Trust was broken. And that can’t always be rebuilt. 

Storm looks over at Emma with a smug, victorious grin. Finally, she will be forced to face consequences. 

CYCLOPS: “Some of you already hated Emma. Some of you may hate her now. And as leader of the X-Men, all I can say is…I don’t care.” 

Storm’s face falls as Emma grins back at her. 

No matter what any of them have to say, he and Emma are partners. She isn’t going anywhere. 

Ororo forces Scott’s desk out of her way with her winds. She walks right up to him. Her expression becomes more gentle. 

ORORO: “Please do not do this, Scott. I can pity what she went through, but that does not change that what we faced is who she still is on the inside. Who she will always be. If you care for her so deeply, I cannot stop you. But the time to remove this cancer from the X-Men is now. Before she dooms us all.” She touches Scott’s face. “Please, brother.” 

Scott looks at Ororo’s heartfelt eyes, but all he can do is apologize. 

SCOTT: “I’m sorry, my sister. No.” 

Storm, welling up but holding her emotions back, breathes. 

STORM: “Then my time here is done.” 

Kitty, Bobby, and Roberto are shocked (Laura and Magik not so much). Ororo tried to make this allyship work, but her mistrust has only proven right again and again and again, and yet Scott remains blind. 

STORM: “Long ago, I challenged you for command of the X-Men. Even without my gifts, I soundly defeated you.” Scott hangs his head in shame. “We will not do battle again. Because this isn’t just about our family. It’s about all the children we look after. Simply striking you both down and taking your place? That will not work.” She glares at Emma. “Especially not when our future X-Men are all loyal to her.” Emma, enjoying this, gives a mocking shrug. “There are other Mutants who need me. If you need me, you will find me among them.” 

Cyclops, stuttering, says he doesn’t accept that resignation, but Storm says his words are no longer of meaning to her. Storm turns around and exits the office. A distressed Scott falls into his chair, while Kitty and Bobby chase after Ororo. 

Emma put her arms around Scott’s shoulders. Scott puts his hand on hers. Roberto and Laura aren’t sure what to say. Magik found this all hilarious. These guys are great. 

In the hall, Kitty asks Storm what the Hell she’s doing, with Bobby following up that she didn’t even give them the chance to back her up; she knows they would have. 

STORM: “Yes. You would. For you are both heroes of the highest caliber. And that is why we must part ways for now.” 

Ororo explains that, although she can no longer bring herself to be a part of it, and she believes it will fall apart in due time, right now, the X-Men are still Mutantkind’s first and best line of defense. Were they to lose Kitty’s brains, Bobby’s strength, and both of their hearts, the team would fall even sooner. 

Bobby doesn’t like it, but he gets it. And he respects Ororo’s choice. Ororo shakes his hand and wishes him well. 

STORM: “Good luck finding yourself, Robert.” 

With that, Ororo asks for some privacy with the now-crying Kitty. Bobby obliges. 

KITTY: “Don’t go. I’ll hate you if you leave.” 

STORM: “You mean like you hated me after I cut my hair?”

KITTY: “Yeah.” SNIFFLE. “Just like that.” Kitty sobs. “Please let me come with you. I can’t do this without you.” 

STORM, brushing her tears away with her thumb: “Do not be ridiculous. You are Kitty Pryde. The best of us. You can do anything.” 

A hysterical Kitty wraps her arms around Storm, who hugs her back. 

STORM: “You are the heart of the X-Men. The one person Frost could never hope to corrupt. Do what I couldn’t. Save Cyclops. Save our students. Save the X-Men. And kick Emma’s teeth in.” 

Kitty pulls away. She composes herself and nods. 

KITTY: “I will. I promise.” 

Storm leaves her with a gentle smile and a comforting breeze. 

As Storm flies away, the visuals are intercut with Scott and Emma going to bed together. Ororo tries to remain stalwart, but she can’t help but shed one last tear.

reddito di cittadinanza stile impero

Bisogna tener presente una cosa: come in ogni società preindustriale, anche nell'Impero il lavoro produttivo era l'agricoltura, e l'agricoltura, come si sa, si pratica in campagna. Cosa facevano allora quelli che abitavano in città? Non molto, appunto. vivevano di assistenza. I ricchi, proprietari terrieri che accumulavano enormi profitti, offrivano ai poveri cibo e divertimento - panem e circenses, secondo la formula di Giovenale - per evitare che la fame e l'ozio facessero venire loro l'idea di ribellarsi. Due giorni su tre erano festivi. Le terme erano gratuite. Infine, siccome per vivere serve comunque un po' di denaro, la società urbana era divisa, non tra datori di lavoro e dipendenti, con i primi che pagavano il lavoro dei secondi, ma fra patroni e clienti, con i primi che mantenevano i secondi per non far niente, se non mostrare la propria gratitudine. Oltre che terre e schiavi, il ricco aveva a sua disposizione una clientela, cioè un numero di individui meno ricchi di lui che ogni mattina andavano a casa sua per ricevere una piccola somma chiamata sportula, minimo sei sesterzi, che in un mese faceva l'equivalente del salario minimo in Francia, mille euro e rotti. I romani poveri vivevano di questo - e anche i meno poveri, solo a un livello più elevato: avevano patroni più ricchi, che erano a loro volta clienti di patroni ancora più ricchi. Marziale era un poeta noto, piuttosto soddisfatto della propria vita, ma ogni mattina dei quarant'anni che ha vissuto a Roma ha dovuto piegarsi a quel rituale - e Dio solo sa quanto gli pesi. Alzarsi presto è una cosa che odia. Avvolgersi nella toga - odia anche questo: la toga è rigida, pesante, scomoda, e in più gli costa una fortuna di tintoria, ma per andare a salutare il patrono tocca mettersela, come per andare in ufficio ci si mette la cravatta. Scapicollarsi, a piedi, perché Marziale non ha soldi per pagarsi una lettiga, su stradine strette, sconnesse, fangose, dove può capitare di tutto, come minimo sporcarsi la toga. Dal patrono, fare anticamera con tutta la banda degli altri parassiti e guardarli con disprezzo e diffidenza. Quando finalmente il patrono si degna di farsi vedere, non meno seccato dei suoi clienti, aspettare il proprio turno per sussurrargli qualche parola con il tono giusto - questo tono si chiamava obsequium, termine che non ha bisogno di commenti. Alla fine, passare alla cassa gestita da una specie di usciere, e soltanto allora, con la propria magra sportula, cominciare una giornata di ozio più o meno produttivo. Si può pensare che non sia un prezzo molto alto per il diritto di non fare niente, ma si può pensarlo anche dell'indennità di disoccupazione, che pochi riscuotono senza un senso di avvilimento. Quel rito mattutino era una schiavitù e un'umiliazione, ed è uno dei motivi per cui, ormai vicino ai sessanta, Marziale ha preferito tornarsene nella natia Spagna, dov'è morto di noia. Roma era fantastica, ma lui non sopportava più la sportula, gli ingorghi, i discorsi vacui: riteneva di non averne più l'età.

Penúltima jornada, con la tercera dorada para Noah Lyles

Los equipos de Estados Unidos dominaron los relevos 4x100, en la penúltima jornada del Campeonato Mundial de Atletismo en Budapest, este sábado 26 de agosto. Y de ese modo, Noah Lyles consiguió el “triplete dorado” de la velocidad (100-200-relevos), algo que no sucedía desde la presencia del jamaiquino Usain Bolt. Este lo logró por última ve zen Beijing 2015. Nombres que vienen brillando en lo más alto del atletismo mundial como la keniata Faith Kipyegon -en su temporada de gracia- y el sueco Armand Duplantis también figuraron entre los campeones de este sábado. Y en el Decathlon, el canadiense Pierce LePage consiguió su primer título mundial, aventajando en gran duelo a su compatriota y campeón olímpico Damian Warner. LePage había sido subcampeón mundial en la temporada pasada en Oregón. Ahora sumó 8.909 puntos, delante de Warner (8.804) y bronce para Lindon Victor,de Grenada, con 8.756. El alemán Leo Neugebauer, quien lideraba trsa el primer día, concluyó en el 5° puesto con 8.645. Y el brasileño José Fernando Ferreira Santana fue 14° con 7.935, en una temporada muy intensa para él. El recordman mundial, el francés Kevin Mayer, se lesionó en el tendón de Aquiles y se retiró luego del salto en largo. Las postas 4x100 ofrecieron los acostumbrados duelos entre Estados Unidos y Jamaica. En la competencia femenina, EE.UU. marcó 41.03 y se llevó el título, superando a las jamaiquinas (41.21), con bronce para Gran Bretaña con 41.97. La escuadra USA incluyó a Sha´Carri Richardson, la campeona individual y bronce de 200. En la prueba masculina, Noah Lyles remató la actuación de EE.UU. que había incluido a dos ex campeones individuales (Christian Coleman, Fred Kerley) y a Brandon Carnes. Estados Unidos marcó 37.38 para terminar delante del campeón olímpico Italia (37.62) y Jamaica (37.76). Brasil consiguió insertarse en la final de esta posta, pero sufrió la descalificación. Brasil presentó a Rodrigo Pereira do Nascimento, Jorge Henrique da Costa Vides, el recordman nacional Erik Felipe Barbosa Cardoso y Felipe Bardi do Santos. "Aquí no tuvimos buenos pasajes, ni en la clasificación ni en la final, pero entrenamos mucho en los campos, nos preparamos. Pero es un proceso. Trabajemos y sigamos adelante porque este grupo es muy bueno y puede traer medallas a Brasil", afirmó Rodrigo do Nascimento.��"Estaba preparado para la final, estábamos entrenando, estoy acostumbrado a hacer el paso con Rodrigo, es solo para seguir trabajando", agregó Jorge Vides. Vides reemplazó en esta final a Paulo André Camilo de Oliveira, quien había participado en las eliminatorias. Otra de las finales del día fue el lanzamiento de bala para damas, donde la estadounidense Chase Ealey revalidó su corona de Eugene con 20.43 metros. La canadiense Sarah Mitton la escoltó con 20.08 la china LiJiao Gong fue tercera con 19.69. En los 800 metros de hombres se impuso el canadiense Marco Arop con 1:44:24. Fue una carrera táctica y algo lenta, resuelta en la última recta con el keniata Emmanuel Wayyoni como subcampeón (1:44.53) y el británico Pen Pattison, tercero con 1:44.83. El español Adrian Ben, campeón europeo indoor, tuvo que conformarse con el cuarto puesto en 1:44.91.   "Fue una carrera lenta, de muchos atletas, y yo he intentado pasar como siempre pero con Ben Pattison era difícil. He dicho aquí me freno y no he podido. Ha habido un momento que he colapsado, he intentado llegar más rápido, he visto que metía el pecho, pero no pudo ser. Vamos pasito a pasito", dijo Ben. "Me he planteado correr de muchas maneras pero al final nos está saliendo bien lo que estamos haciendo. En Silesia me precipité porque la carrera era rápida y lo pagué. Al final Arop a 52 segundos la vuelta va mejor que yo, es superior a mi, por eso toca seguir entrenando. Ir atrás te evita problemas y hoy nos ha penalizado una o dos décimas", confesó. El superstar del salto con garrocha Armand Duplantis revalidó sin demasiadas dificultades su título mundial, pasando los 6.10 metros. El filipino Ernest John Obiena fue subcampeón con 6.00 m. y el bronce quedó para el australiano Kurtis Marschall con 5.95. Luego se ubicaron el estadounidense Christopher Nilsen -ex subcampeón- con 5.95 y el francés Thibaut Collet, quinto con 5.90. Duplantis posee el récord mundial con 6.22 (febrero en Clermond-Ferrand, indoors) y ahora intentó los 6.23, aunque sin éxito. El año pasado había triunfado en Eugene con 6.21. Este sábado en Budapest pasó en primer intento y con total seguridad sus alturas de 5.55, 5.85, 5.95, 6.00, 6.05 y 6.10.   El prodigio sueco también fue campeón olímpico en Tokio y además, campeón mundial indoor en Belgrado 2022, además de acumular otros dos títulos europeos. En los 5.000 metros femeninos, Faith Kipyegon se consagró como la reina del atletismo femenino de mediofondo/fondo de estos tiempos, tras ganar los 1.500 por tercera vez. Es la primera mujer que hace doblete 1500/5000 en un mundial, distancias en las que viene de pulverizar los récords durante el tour europeo. Este sábado Kipyegon ganó con 14:53.88. La neerlandesa Sifan Hassan fue subcampeona con 14:54.11 y la keniata Beatrice Chebet -segunda del año pasado- ahora quedó tercera con 14:54.33.   Read the full article

@dreamsofalife- “He built his own fortune, it makes sense he'd admire people who did the same “ CORRECT! He goes through this wholeass ordeal in the 80s to get Emmanuel Da Costa to join the Inner Circle as Black Bishop not because he has any powers (he doesn’t), not because he was born anyone important (he wasn’t), nor because his son is one of the New Mutants, but purely because, like Shaw, Emmanuel was born dirt poor and became an incredibly wealthy businessman.

Anne-Sophie Bajon, conhecida como La Bajon, é uma atriz, autora e humorista francesa, nascida em 27 de junho de 1978 em Yerres (Essonne).

Infância e Formação.

Nascida com o primeiro nome Souad Yasmina e renomeado quando foi adotada com um ano de idade de 2 anos , Anne-Sophie Bajon cresceu em Yerres, nos subúrbios de Paris.

Na adolescência, ingressou em uma trupe de teatro na qual praticou improvisação e fez um dos cursos de Jack Waltzer. Fez uma das suas primeiras atuações aos 15 anos, no liceu Saint-Pierre de Brunoy, em Essonne.

Depois de obter um BTS( Bacharelado) em turismo, formou-se no curso Simon.

Após uma série de audições que terminaram em fracassos, pequenos empregos e desemprego,ela co-criou, com o comediante Martin Darondeau, uma websérie humorística intitulada Souad que faz um balanço social, retratando as dificuldades da vida de casada, depois criou uma coluna, Souad TV, oferecendo uma visão pessoal dos acontecimentos atuais. É por este espetáculo que em 2014 esteve entre as finalistas do concurso Les Impertinentes.

Em 2010, ela estrelou uma série de esquetes para o programa de televisão Le Soiring transmitido pela France 210 e decidiu deixar seu emprego como assistente versátil para começar a escrever seu programa individual, intitulado "Ça Va Piquer".

Em dezembro de 2011, ela abriu para Jérôme Daran no Bobino.

Em 2012, tocou no Point-Virgule após ser achada pelo diretor artístico.

De outubro de 2012 a maio de 2013, atuou no espetáculo "Les Wanted" ao lado de Julie Villers, Marie Lanchas e Carole Guisnel no Théâtre du "Point-Virgule". Na época, o "20 Minutes" descreveu seu humor como “politicamente incorreto” com tom atrevido.

Com personagens que têm como traço comum a denúncia das elites, ela tem ao seu redor uma comunidade de torcedores da classe trabalhadora( conservadora em sua maioria).

O sucesso de seus vídeos no YouTube se baseia em grande parte na criação de personagens diretamente ligados à atualidade.

"O advogado", seu personagem principal, que defende Penelope Fillon, Nicolas Sarkozy e Emmanuel Macron;

figuras próximas do mundo político: um deputado à Assembleia Nacional, um assistente de Marine Le Pen, uma faxineira do Eliseu, um médico de Jacques Chirac ou mesmo o novo guarda-costas do Presidente da República;profissões representadas de acordo com os acontecimentos midiáticos: a carteiro, a gestora de obras, o ferroviário, o banqueiro, o professor de francês;

personagens ligados à religião, como a Mãe Natal ou a Irmã Marie La Bajon;

autoridades públicas como o sistema de saúde;personagens que denunciam abusos econômicos: a herdeira mais rica e o Tesouro Público.

Seus vídeos tendem a despertar dúvidas entre seus personagens e sua personalidade durante as entrevistas, quando ela desempenha, notadamente, o papel de uma esquizofrênica que fugiu do hospital psiquiátrico para chegar ao palco.

Le Z'Élue( O Eleito- Um animal que se multiplica e sedimenta num círculo vicioso pela ignorância da maioria da população.)

Por: Fred Borges

Onde está o humor negro? Onde estão todos os comediantes que utilizavam os canais tradicionais da televisão e rádio para exprimir suas críticas cortantes aos políticos brasileiros, do corte "Tramontina", foram cortados pelo " crime de opinião" e utilizando de inteligência e sagacidade criticar a classe política? Onde está? Foram todos comprados pela "Lei Rouanet" pela lei que deveria servir o pequeno, diminuto artista popular e só servem aos grandes?

O humor se apagou, a censura acendeu e ascendeu o semáforo, a escada vertical social,do semáforo amarelo e principalmente vermelho.

Le Z'Élue é um vídeo que crítica a classe política na França e ele é parte de uma grande produção e criação de Anne- Sophie Bajon e sua equipe, um humor ácido e negro, que só floresce em uma populacão que lê em média 21 livros por ano!

A título de dados e informações: Os franceses leem em média 21 livros por ano, o que é cinco vezes mais do que a média de leitura dos brasileiros.

No Brasil, a média de leitura é de 4,9 livros por ano, de acordo com a pesquisa Retratos da Leitura de 2016. 44% da população brasileira não lê e 30% nunca comprou um livro.

O governo francês realiza a cada dois anos a pesquisa "Os franceses e a leitura", publicada pelo Centro Nacional do Livro da République.

Em países desenvolvidos, a média de leitura é de 7 livros por ano na França, 5,1 nos Estados Unidos e 4,9 na Inglaterra.

Se não há leitura, não há inteligência, se não há inteligência não há análise, crítica, o humor é raso, superficial, comum, e até nos Stand-up Shows é difícil provocar risadas e principalmente percorrer o Brasil com esses shows, imagine alguém ao seu lado dizendo que não entendeu a piada, e pior...pedindo para explicar!Já passou por isso?.Está cada vez mais frequente, normal, natural ou comum!

Difícil, muito difícil, a situação do Brasil , o humor do Brasil é superficial, de " cócegas provocadas em partes do corpo, menos em cérebros, em mentes ou na inteligência emburrecida aborrecida, chata, pela falta de cultura,de educação, de literatura, de leitura.E "a coisa" ou o "It" tende a piorar, medidas da chamada "Fake News" são uma censura, uma cortina de fumaça, assim como o 8 de Janeiro, Francisco se implodindo em frente ao STF, cassação de direitos da candidatura da oposição, menos do Centrão, fora a decondenação de condenados, uma " lavagem das escadarias do Bonfim cerebral", numa escravidão cerebral, num WOKE cerebral, num SLEEP cerebral, coma induzido e aí...vemos o que estamos vendo: uma autocracia petista, uma corrupção deslavada, um "louvor" que apóia políticos de esquerda como na Nicarágua, um banana de pijama no poder, com CA, com Janja em pronunciamento público mandando Elon Musk F.You, manjar ou caviar dos Deuses olímpicos que contorcem nas suas tumbas milenares evocando a filosofia; amantes do pensar, mas para pensar o quê e para quê?

A indústria alimentícia nos alimenta com super processados, a indústria farmacêutica nos " cura" , cura a doença do pensar, questionar, argumentar, discutir, do fazer humor crítico e ácido, para quê realmente pensar se podemos vegetar em óleo saturado, em coca-cola ou colas, cola de sapateiro inclusive, que provoca câncer, em um clímax de saturação de políticos corruptos?

Le Z'Élue são os animais estúpidos, em sua maioria que legislam em causa própria, patrocinados por cartéis chineses,russos, cubanos, venezuelanos ou nicaraguenses, pelo BRICS, pelo G20 do ambientalismo politicamente correto, de Marina tartaruga do Olímpio, da linguagem neutra, das cores neutras, onde só o vermelho se destaca, atraca no Porto Seguro na Bahia e nunca saiu, e de lá se ouve o silêncio que ecoa e reverbera, vírus maior de toda uma população opaca, omissa, passiva, parcial, pacífica, num pacto da mediocridade que é estúpida a tal ponto que diz detestar falar em política e que provavelmente não sabe que está sendo vítima de uma "antropofagia cultural, educacional", que cega, cala, paralisa,pega,mata e come-Carcará, torna tetraplégico a maioria da população brasileira pela simples falha, falta, incompetência de políticos que fazem de tudo pelo continuísmo da mediocridade dos estúpidos que não entendem, e nunca irão entender o Z'Élue animal político e perverso ( os políticos eleitos para desviar o erário público em benefício próprio)!

Eyes on the world #201

Nel vano tentativo di non squagliarci, prosegue il nostro cammino nel mese di luglio. 

Settimana ricca su diversi fronti, dal conflitto tra Israele e Hamas fino ai risultati delle elezioni in Francia. Passiamo poi alle ultime dall’Europa e dalla guerra in Ucraina, per finire con alcuni sviluppi che riguardano Boeing e la giustizia italiana. 

Non vi anticipo altro, cominciamo 👇 

🇮🇱 ISRAELE-HAMAS: I NUOVI ATTACCHI, IL MOLO AMERICANO SMONTATO, L’EVACUAZIONE DI GAZA 

1) Dopo una settimana senza grossi sviluppi, torniamo a parlare della guerra tra #Israele e #Hamas. Martedì l’esercito israeliano ha bombardato un'area di una scuola a Abasan al Kabira, est di Khan Yunis, nella Striscia di #Gaza, dove si rifugiavano sfollati dall’invasione israeliana in corso da nove mesi. Almeno 31 persone sono morte, inclusi otto bambini. Le Forze di Difesa Israeliane (IDF) hanno dichiarato che l’attacco mirava a un terrorista di Hamas coinvolto nel massacro del 7 ottobre e stanno verificando la presenza di civili tra le vittime. Un testimone ha riferito alla BBC che l’area colpita era affollata da circa 3mila persone. Questo attacco è il quarto in quattro giorni contro scuole-rifugio per sfollati palestinesi. Sabato scorso, un altro attacco su una scuola dell'#UNRWA a Nuseirat ha ucciso almeno 16 persone. Domenica, un bombardamento ha colpito la scuola "Sacra famiglia" a nord-ovest di Gaza, uccidendo tra gli altri il viceministro del Lavoro Ihab al Ghussein. Lunedì, un altro attacco ha ferito diverse persone in una scuola #ONU a Nuseirat. Philippe Lazzarini, direttore dell’UNRWA, ha chiesto – a questo proposito – indagini indipendenti sugli attacchi alle scuole. Hamas ha descritto gli attacchi come i più intensi degli ultimi mesi e ha dichiarato che potrebbero compromettere i #negoziati per il cessate il fuoco. Il ministero della Sanità di Hamas riporta che più di 38mila palestinesi sono stati uccisi dall'inizio dell'invasione.  

Nel frattempo, mercoledì alcuni funzionari del governo statunitense hanno riferito anonimamente che il molo galleggiante costruito davanti alla costa della Striscia di Gaza per portare aiuti umanitari sarà smontato definitivamente. Il molo, costato 320 milioni di dollari, è stato smontato e rimontato più volte a causa di vari problemi e ha operato solo per una decina di giorni da metà maggio a fine mese. A giugno ha accumulato aiuti senza riuscire a consegnarli. Inizialmente previsto come soluzione emergenziale dall’amministrazione #Biden, il molo non ha mai soddisfatto il fabbisogno previsto e ha affrontato difficoltà logistiche e di sicurezza nella distribuzione degli aiuti. Sempre mercoledì, l'esercito israeliano ha distribuito volantini su Gaza City, ordinando l'evacuazione della città, considerata una zona di combattimento pericolosa. Questo è il secondo tentativo di evacuazione dall'inizio della guerra, con una precedente a gennaio. Circa 250.000 persone vivono ancora a Gaza in condizioni precarie. Pochi residenti hanno seguito l'ordine a causa dei continui trasferimenti e dei bombardamenti su aree definite sicure. Per questo motivo, il ministero dell'Interno di Gaza e l'UNRWA hanno sconsigliato di seguire l'ordine di #evacuazione. Nel frattempo, sono ripresi in #Qatar i colloqui per un cessate il fuoco. 

🇫🇷 FRANCIA: L’NFP TRIONFA E FA SCIVOLARE L’ESTREMA DESTRA AL TERZO POSTO. INCERTEZZA SUL GOVERNO 

2) Le elezioni legislative in #Francia sono state vinte dalla sinistra del Nuovo Fronte Popolare (#NFP), che ha ottenuto 182 seggi nella nuova Assemblea Nazionale. Il NFP include il Partito Socialista, Europe Écologie Les Verts e La France Insoumise di Jean-Luc #Mélenchon. La coalizione centrista del presidente Emmanuel #Macron, Ensemble pour la République, ha eletto 168 deputati, un risultato inferiore rispetto ai 250 seggi della precedente legislatura, ma migliore delle previsioni. Il partito di estrema destra Rassemblement National, nonostante fosse il più votato al primo turno, ha ottenuto 143 seggi, mentre i #Repubblicani ne hanno conquistati 45. L'affluenza al secondo turno è stata del 66,63%, la più alta dal 1997. I risultati hanno sorpreso, ribaltando le previsioni che davano Rassemblement National come vincitore. Nessun partito ha raggiunto la maggioranza assoluta di 289 seggi, rendendo incerti gli equilibri per una futura alleanza di governo. Jean-Luc Mélenchon ha commentato i risultati, definendoli un sollievo per milioni di persone e chiedendo a Macron di nominare un nuovo primo ministro dal NFP. L'attuale primo ministro, Gabriel #Attal, ha annunciato le sue dimissioni (poi rifiutate dallo stesso Macron, che prima vuole attendere la composizione del nuovo governo). Si parla di una possibile "coabitazione" tra un presidente e un primo ministro di schieramenti diversi, come avvenuto in passato, ma senza una maggioranza assoluta in parlamento. Le opzioni in discussione includono la formazione di una coalizione, un governo di unità nazionale, un governo tecnico o un governo per gli affari correnti. Tuttavia, formare una coalizione appare complesso a causa delle differenze politiche e delle dichiarazioni contrarie da parte dei leader di sinistra. Nuove elezioni legislative potrebbero tenersi solo dopo luglio 2025, a meno che non si riesca a giustificare uno scioglimento anticipato dell'Assemblea. Macron, pur esprimendo l'intenzione di restare in carica fino al 2027, potrebbe essere spinto alle dimissioni in caso di stallo insuperabile, con conseguenze significative per la politica francese. 

🇪🇺 UE: NASCONO NUOVI GRUPPI DI ESTREMA DESTRA SOTTO ORBAN. INTANTO URSULA VON DER LEYEN... 

3) Facciamo un salto in #UE. La scorsa settimana, il primo ministro ungherese Viktor #Orbán ha annunciato la creazione di un nuovo gruppo parlamentare di destra nel #Parlamento Europeo, chiamato "Patrioti per l'Europa". Questo progetto, nato in alleanza con Herbert Kickl del Partito della Libertà Austriaco (FPÖ) e Andrej Babis del partito ceco Azione dei Cittadini Insoddisfatti (ANO), ha ricevuto l'adesione del partito portoghese Chega, guidato da André Ventura. Il Rassemblement National (RN) francese, con 30 eurodeputati, e Matteo Salvini della Lega hanno mostrato interesse a unirsi. Venerdì scorso, Santiago Abascal di Vox e Geert Wilders del Partito per la Libertà (PVV) olandese hanno annunciato la loro adesione, seguiti sabato dal Partito Popolare Danese (DF), consentendo a Orbán di raggiungere i numeri necessari per formare un gruppo nel Parlamento Europeo. Il nuovo gruppo intende difendere gli Stati membri dall'interferenza dell'Unione Europea e restituire potere ai singoli stati, opponendosi al "centralismo" di Bruxelles e alle forze globaliste, promuovendo le identità nazionali e fermando l'immigrazione clandestina. Tuttavia, i membri del gruppo hanno posizioni divergenti sulla politica estera, soprattutto riguardo alla guerra tra Russia e Ucraina. Orbán ha incontrato recentemente Vladimir #Putin a Mosca, mentre altri membri, come Wilders e il DF, sostengono l'Ucraina. Secondo l'europarlamentare danese Anders Vistisen, la politica estera rimarrà di competenza nazionale all'interno del nuovo gruppo. 

Mercoledì invece il partito di estrema destra tedesco Alternative für Deutschland (#AfD) ha annunciato la formazione di un altro gruppo nel Parlamento Europeo chiamato "Europe of Sovereign Nations" (#ESN). Questo sarà il terzo gruppo di estrema destra dopo ECR e, appunto, Patrioti per l’Europa. La composizione del gruppo non è ancora confermata, ma secondo fonti come Euronews ed Euractiv, ESN dovrebbe includere 25 membri provenienti da otto paesi, superando la soglia minima per la formazione di nuovi gruppi parlamentari. AfD, che ha eletto 14 europarlamentari nelle recenti elezioni, era stato espulso da Identità e Democrazia (ID) per dichiarazioni indulgenti sul nazismo. Anche il partito ceco Libertà e Democrazia Diretta (SPD) dovrebbe aderire al nuovo gruppo. La formazione di ESN frammenta ulteriormente l’estrema destra europea, pochi giorni dopo la creazione di Patrioti per l’Europa.  

Per ciò che riguarda le nomine chiave per la Commissione, la presidente uscente Ursula #vonderLeyen sta intensificando la sua campagna per ottenere il sostegno necessario alla sua riconferma. Il 18 luglio, il Parlamento Europeo voterà per approvare la sua nomina per un secondo mandato, per il quale von der Leyen necessita di almeno 361 voti. Appartenente al Partito Popolare Europeo (#PPE), il gruppo più grande del Parlamento, von der Leyen sta cercando di assicurarsi il sostegno dei gruppi parlamentari della “maggioranza Ursula”: PPE, Socialisti (S&D) e Renew. Tuttavia, come detto, la composizione del Parlamento è cambiata dopo le recenti elezioni, con una crescita dell'estrema destra e una diminuzione dei seggi per Socialisti, Renew e Verdi. Von der Leyen sta incontrando i leader dei vari gruppi per negoziare il loro supporto. I #Socialisti hanno posto condizioni legate al Green Deal e alla crisi abitativa, mentre i Verdi non escludono il loro sostegno se saranno rispettate le condizioni climatiche. Cruciale per la riconferma è anche evitare alleanze con l’estrema destra, compresi i nuovi gruppi Patrioti per l’Europa e Europe of Sovereign Nations (ESN). Nonostante l’esclusione di qualsiasi alleanza con questi gruppi, von der Leyen ha mostrato apertura verso i Conservatori e Riformisti (ECR), suscitando preoccupazioni tra i suoi alleati. Se non dovesse raggiungere la soglia richiesta, la sua nomina verrebbe scartata, portando il #Consiglio Europeo a nominare un altro candidato, scenario che potrebbe causare una crisi politica. Alcuni osservatori ritengono che la mancanza di alternative potrebbe favorire la sua riconferma. 

🇺🇦 UCRAINA-RUSSIA: PESANTE ATTACCHI SU OSPEDALI E FABBRICHE. MEMBRI DELLA NATO RIUNITI IN USA 

4) Torniamo, purtroppo, in Ucraina. Lunedì mattina, la #Russia ha effettuato uno dei più gravi attacchi missilistici contro l'#Ucraina degli ultimi mesi, colpendo diverse città, tra cui #Kiev. Sono state uccise 41 persone e ferite oltre 170 in tutto il paese. A Kiev, due ospedali civili, tra cui l'ospedale pediatrico Okhmatdyt e una clinica per la maternità, sono stati colpiti, causando la morte di 27 persone. Nella regione di Dnipropetrovsk sono state uccise 11 persone e ferite 68, principalmente a Kryvyi Rih, città natale del presidente Zelensky. A Pokrovsk, nella regione del #Donetsk, tre persone sono morte in un attacco a una fabbrica. Gli attacchi sono stati condannati da vari paesi occidentali: il ministro degli Esteri italiano Antonio Tajani li ha definiti «crimini di guerra», e l'Alto rappresentante UE Josep Borrell ha chiesto nuovi sistemi di difesa antiaerea per l'Ucraina. Martedì i leader della #NATO si sono riuniti a Washington, con la partecipazione di Zelensky. Il presidente statunitense Joe Biden ha criticato gli attacchi definendoli «un terribile promemoria della brutalità russa». Nell'attacco all'ospedale Okhmatdyt, due adulti, tra cui un medico, sono morti e diversi bambini sono rimasti feriti, costringendo all'evacuazione dei pazienti. 

✈️ BOEING COLPEVOLE PER GLI INCIDENTI DEL 2018 E 2019. NESSUN MIGLIORAMENTO ALLA SICUREZZA 

5) Domenica scorsa #Boeing si è dichiarata colpevole patteggiando con il dipartimento di Giustizia degli #StatiUniti in merito a un'indagine riguardante due gravi incidenti del modello 737 Max nel 2018 e 2019, che causarono 346 morti. L'indagine coinvolgeva i voli Lion Air 610 e Ethiopian Airlines 302. Il processo era iniziato a maggio, quando Boeing fu accusata di aver violato un accordo del 2021 che richiedeva miglioramenti significativi alla sicurezza degli aerei, evitando così un processo. L'accordo di domenica prevede che Boeing si dichiari colpevole di cospirazione per truffare la Federal Aviation Administration (#FAA) e prevede una multa di 487,2 milioni di dollari e un investimento di almeno 455 milioni di dollari nei prossimi tre anni per migliorare i programmi di #sicurezza. Boeing era stata accusata di aver nascosto alla FAA cambiamenti nel software di volo automatico MCA, responsabile degli incidenti. Il dipartimento di Giustizia ha presentato l'accordo a un tribunale federale in Texas, che ora dovrà decidere se accettarlo. 

🇮🇹 APPROVATO DEFINITIVAMENTE IL DDL NORDIO ALLA CAMERA. ABOLITO IL REATO DI ABUSO D’UFFICIO 

6) Mercoledì la Camera dei deputati ha approvato definitivamente il disegno di legge promosso dal ministro della Giustizia, Carlo #Nordio, che modifica il codice penale, il codice di procedura penale, l'ordinamento giudiziario e quello militare. La riforma, nota come "ddl Nordio", ha suscitato ampie discussioni, specialmente per l'abolizione del reato di abuso d'ufficio. Questo reato puniva i pubblici ufficiali che sfruttavano la loro posizione per vantaggi personali, ma è stato contestato per la sua applicazione troppo estesa. La riforma mira a facilitare il lavoro dei pubblici ufficiali, limitando le accuse infondate e dando loro maggiore libertà d’azione. La #riforma modifica anche il reato di traffico di influenze illecite, restringendolo ai casi in cui la mediazione mira a far compiere un reato a un pubblico ufficiale. Le relazioni del mediatore devono essere reali e utilizzate per essere punibili. Inoltre, la pena minima è stata aumentata a un anno e mezzo. L'avviso di garanzia dovrà ora contenere una descrizione sommaria del fatto contestato e verrà consegnato con maggiore riservatezza per proteggere l'indagato. Le misure cautelari, come la detenzione preventiva, richiederanno un interrogatorio preliminare dell'indagato e le decisioni sulla custodia cautelare in carcere saranno prese da un collegio di tre giudici. Le #intercettazioni dovranno escludere informazioni su persone non coinvolte nel processo e non potranno essere pubblicate se non utilizzate in giudizio. La copia delle intercettazioni sarà disponibile solo per le parti coinvolte e i loro avvocati. Infine, è stato reintrodotto il divieto per il pubblico ministero di appellarsi contro una sentenza di assoluzione in primo grado per reati minori. Inoltre, i giudici popolari delle Corti d'Assise non potranno avere più di 65 anni al momento della nomina. 

------------ 

Andiamo velocemente su un paio di brevi 👇 

📱 Il sindacato nazionale dei lavoratori di #Samsung Electronics ha annunciato uno #sciopero a tempo indeterminato, estendendo quello iniziato lunedì, a causa di una disputa sugli stipendi e sulle condizioni di lavoro. Circa 6.500 dipendenti sono in sciopero, con la possibilità che il numero aumenti. La controversia sui salari è in corso da gennaio, con i lavoratori che chiedono un aumento del 3,5% e un bonus legato agli utili dell'azienda. Samsung ha registrato un utile di 7,5 miliardi di dollari nel secondo trimestre dell'anno, con un forte aumento del prezzo delle azioni grazie alla domanda di chip per lo sviluppo dell'#intelligenzaartificiale. Le negoziazioni non hanno ancora portato a un accordo, e il sindacato insiste che lo sciopero continuerà fino a quando tutte le richieste non saranno soddisfatte. Sebbene il sindacato affermi che lo sciopero stia rallentando alcune produzioni, gli esperti ritengono che l'impatto sull'azienda sia minimo a causa dell'automatizzazione delle fabbriche, e il mercato non mostra preoccupazione per una possibile riduzione delle forniture. 

🇮🇹 Nell'ultima settimana, diverse #carceri italiane sono state teatro di intense #proteste, causate principalmente dalle pessime condizioni di vita all'interno delle strutture, tra cui sovraffollamento, scarsa igiene e caldo insopportabile. Al carcere Ernesto Mari di Trieste, circa 100 detenuti hanno protestato lanciando oggetti in strada e incendiando arredi, costringendo la polizia a intervenire con lacrimogeni. La rivolta è nata per problemi nella gestione dei colloqui con i familiari e per le dure condizioni di vita. Al carcere di Cuneo, una violenta rissa tra detenuti è stata seguita da una protesta con distruzione di arredi e lancio di oggetti. A Viterbo, i detenuti hanno reagito alla morte di un compagno incendiando materassi, mentre a Sollicciano, a Firenze, una protesta è scoppiata dopo il suicidio di un detenuto, portando al trasferimento di molti detenuti a causa dell'inagibilità delle sezioni. Queste rivolte evidenziano il grave problema del sovraffollamento e delle cattive condizioni delle carceri italiane. 

Alla prossima 👋

HAUSER

"LULLABY"

El violonchelista de fama mundial HAUSER desvela "Lullaby", tercer single de su esperado nuevo álbum CLASSIC II, que saldrá a la venta el viernes 19 de abril.

Escucha el adelanto AQUÍ

Mira el vídeo AQUÍ

HAUSER capta maravillosamente la esencia intemporal de la "Canción de cuna" de Brahms, infundiéndole su característica armonía llena de gracia. El vídeo que lo acompaña es un retrato pintoresco, rodado a la luz de las velas en su tierra natal, Croacia. Escúchalo aquí y mira el vídeo musical aquí.

"La "Canción de cuna" de Brahms es LA canción de cuna universal", dice HAUSER, "y es la forma perfecta de cerrar el álbum CLÁSICO II".

Con más de 1.000 millones de streams de audio y 4.000 millones de visitas a vídeos, HAUSER sigue hipnotizando al público con su maestría artística y su inquebrantable pasión por la música.  Su último álbum CLASSIC II continuación del aclamado lanzamiento de 2020 CLASSIC, contiene 18 melodías inolvidables, con arreglos magistrales que realzan la expresividad del violonchelo.  Grabado con la prestigiosa Orquesta Sinfónica de Londres bajo la dirección de Robert Ziegler, y con arreglos de Robin Smith, el álbum promete redefinir las obras maestras clásicas con nuevas y elegantes formas.

"Es imposible equivocarse dándole al violonchelo una melodía bella y cantarina", dice HAUSER sobre su nuevo álbum. "¡Siempre hay muchas posibilidades de que suene incluso mejor que el original!"

A principios de este año, HAUSER deleitó a sus fans con el lanzamiento del primer single, una interpretación profundamente evocadora de "Kiss the Rain" de Yiruma. El videoclip que lo acompaña, una obra maestra visual por derecho propio, ya está disponible. Recientemente lanzó su segundo single "Emmanuel" junto con un impresionante videoclip rodado en el bosque de su Croacia natal.

Tras finalizar 2023 con el lanzamiento de su primer álbum navideño, HAUSER no da señales de bajar el ritmo en 2024, mientras se prepara para su primera gira en solitario por Estados Unidos esta primavera. La gira, que comenzará el 31 de mayo en el Hard Rock Live de Hollywood, Florida, incluye paradas en lugares emblemáticos como el Carnegie Hall de Nueva York, el Festival Ravinia de Chicago, el Ryman Auditorium de Nashville y el Orpheum Theatre de Los Ángeles. Las entradas para la gira estadounidense 2024 de HAUSER ya están disponibles en  HAUSERofficial.com/event-directory.

Israele: raid contro 400 obiettivi Hamas a Gaza. Rinviata operazione di terra, si tratta su ostaggi

(Adnkronos) - Mentre proseguono i raid israeliani nella Striscia di Gaza a oltre due settimane dall'attacco di Hamas lo scorso 7 ottobre, Israele - che sta trattando sul rilascio degli ostaggi - ha deciso di "rinviare l'operazione di terra". Raid contro Hamas a Gaza, le notizie di oggi Secondo le ultime news di oggi 24 ottobre, le Forze di difesa israeliane hanno reso noto di aver condotto raid contro circa 400 obiettivi di Hamas nella Striscia di Gaza nelle ultime 24 ore, uccidendo diversi comandanti e operativi. Le Idf sostengono che i militanti, molti dei quali nascosti nelle moschee, si preparavano al lancio di razzi contro Israele. Colpito anche l'ingresso di un tunnel sulla costa e centri di comando. Tra le vittime ci sono i vice comandanti dei battaglioni di Nuseirat, Shati e Furqan. Israele ha deciso di "rinviare l'operazione di terra" nella Striscia di Gaza. In attesa dell'arrivo di altri asset americani nella regione, la rivelazione è arrivata dalla radio dell'Esercito israeliano a meno di una settimana dalla missione in Israele di Joe Biden, che a Benyamin Netanyahu ha confermato il sostegno Usa, ma ha anche ricordato agli israeliani "gli errori" fatti dagli Stati Uniti dopo gli attacchi dell'11 Settembre 2001. Gli Stati Uniti ora cercano di prevenire lo scenario di una guerra più ampia nella regione in un quadro in cui le speranze dell'Amministrazione Usa di espansione degli Accordi di Abramo, sottoscritti da Israele con alcuni Paesi arabi all'epoca di Donald Trump alla Casa Bianca, sembrano almeno 'archiviate'. La diplomazia però non si ferma Prima di Biden erano stati in missione nella regione il segretario di Stato Usa, Antony Blinken e il capo del Pentagono Lloyd Austin che poco dopo il summit del Cairo di sabato ha annunciato il dispiegamento di altri asset Usa nella regione. E, evidenzia il Washington Post, sebbene Biden sia riuscito a ritardare l'avvio di un'offensiva israeliana a Gaza, la probabilità di una estenuante guerra di terra resta alta. Intanto il ministro dell'Energia israeliano Israel Katz ha dichiarato al quotidiano tedesco Bild che Israele continua a fare pressioni per il rilascio degli ostaggi del gruppo islamista Hamas dalla Striscia di Gaza. "Stiamo trattando con tutti gli attori per ottenere il rilascio dei rapiti", ha dichiarato alla Bild. "Stiamo facendo tutto il possibile per riportarli a casa". Katz ha detto che gli ostaggi trattenuti a Gaza non fermeranno gli attacchi aerei israeliani o l'offensiva di terra pianificata dall'IDF nell'enclave costiera. "Hamas vuole che ci occupiamo dei rapiti e che i nostri militari non entrino per eliminare le loro infrastrutture. Questo non accadrà", ha detto Katz. Israele "eliminerà Hamas, le sue infrastrutture come esercito, organizzazione e governo. E libererà coloro che sono stati rapiti". Un'offensiva di terra da parte di Israele a Gaza è ampiamente prevista. Biden e Netanyahu Nel frattempo Joe Biden ha avuto in nottata un nuovo contatto telefonico con Benyamin Netanyahu. Secondo quanto riferito dalla Casa Bianca, il presidente ha accolto con favore il rilascio di altri due ostaggi da Gaza e ha riaffermato il suo impegno nei confronti degli sforzi in corso per assicurare il rilascio di tutti gli altri ostaggi presi da Hamas - compresi gli americani - e per garantire un passaggio sicuro ai cittadini statunitensi e agli altri civili a Gaza. Biden ha anche sottolineato la necessità di sostenere un flusso continuo di assistenza umanitaria urgentemente necessaria a Gaza. A Tel Aviv è arrivato il presidente francese Emmanuel Macron per esprimere la sua "piena solidarietà" a Israele. Nel corso degli incontri che avrà con il premier Benyamin Netanyahu e con il presidente Isaac Herzog, Macron ribadirà l'importanza di "preservare la popolazione civile" a Gaza, hanno fatto sapere fonti della presidenza. In una nota, l'Eliseo sottolinea "i tre grandi obiettivi" della visita del presidente: "mostrare la piena solidarietà della Francia a Israele di fronte a uno dei più gravi attacchi contro la sua popolazione dalla fondazione dello Stato, continuare a mobilitarsi per evitare una pericolosa escalation nella regione e ribadire l'importanza di preservare le popolazioni civili; infine, aprire una prospettiva politica e trovare un ampio consenso internazionale, che richieda l'impegno di un gran numero di partner per la sicurezza di Israele e la ripresa decisiva di un vero processo di pace".  La visita dopo i raid Il programma della visita prevede, dopo un incontro con un gruppo di famigliari degli ostaggi, un colloquio con il presidente Isaac Herzog, poi con Benyamin Netanyahu. Al termine di una dichiarazione alla stampa insieme al premier, Macron vedrà anche Benny Gantz, l'ex premier entrato nel gabinetto di guerra del governo di emergenza nazionale, e il leader dell'opposizione Yair Lapid. Il ministro degli Esteri cinese Wang Yi ha avuto contatti telefonici, i primi dagli attacchi di Hamas del 7 ottobre scorso, con i ministri degli Esteri di Israele, Eli Cohen, e dell'Autorità nazionale palestinese, Ryad al Maliki. Secondo quanto comunicato a Pechino, Wang ha sottolineato a Cohen che "tutti i Paesi hanno diritto all'autodifesa, ma che devono proteggere i civili e rispettare il diritto internazionale: il compito più urgente adesso è impedire che ci sia un'ulteriore escalation che porti a un disastro umanitario ancora più grave". Escalation "in corso" per la quale il capo della diplomazia di Pechino ha sottolineato la sua preoccupazione. Ad al Maliki, Wang ha espresso "la profonda solidarietà" cinese: "Quello di cui il popolo di Gaza ha bisogno di più al momento sono sicurezza, cibo e medici, non armi e munizioni".  ---internazionale/esteriwebinfo@adnkronos.com (Web Info) Read the full article

No Dia do Médico, Hospital Aliança recebe o projeto itinerante que será instalado também no São Rafael e Cárdio Pulmonar Vinte médicos de diferentes especialidades, a maioria da Rede D’Or, participam com trabalhos fotográficos da exposição "A cura, uma questão de olhar", lançada no Hospital Aliança. A mostra, que poderá ser visitada pelo público externo, será aberta oficialmente com uma cerimônia na quarta-feira, dia 18, Dia do Médico. O projeto tem curadoria do artista visual e educador, Uiler Costa Santos, que selecionou duas fotos autorais do acervo de cada fotógrafo Segundo a organização, o projeto foi feito para reunir médicos que utilizam a fotografia como expressão artística. “O objetivo é divulgar o trabalho fotográfico dos autores, mostrando seus olhares e formas que enxergam o mundo, a vida. Além disso, trazer a arte também para dentro dos hospitais onde ocorrerá a exposição”, comenta um dos organizadores e integrantes da mostra, o anestesiologista Amadeu Martinez. Ele explica que foram escolhidos profissionais que já tem alguma atuação no circuito artístico. “Temos duas paixões em comum, a medicina, como a arte elementar do cuidar, e a fotografia, como linguagem artística, ambas como experiências humanas”. Participam da exposição médicos das mais diferentes especialidades, anestesiologia, cardiologia, cirurgia de cabeça e pescoço, cirurgia vascular, clínica médica, gastroenterologia, ginecologia, medicina intensiva, medicina paliativa, obstetrícia, oftalmologia, pediatria, pneumologia, radiologia, reumatologia e urologia. O texto oficial de apresentação da mostra é assinado pela fotógrafa Marcela Bonfim. "Não há melhor remédio do que a direção dos nossos olhos, do nosso desejo, dos nossos sonhos, daquilo que nos tira para fora do corpo e que nos coloca diante da nossa própria visão, isto é, das nossas imagens ideais. Isso é medicinal." Os médicos que integram a exposição "A cura, uma questão de olhar" são Adrian Berenguer, Adrielly Martins, Alini Orathes, Allan Nogueira da Silva, Amadeu Martinez, Anselmo Hoffmann, Cláudio M B das Virgens, Emmanuel Correia, Francisco Assis, Fred Mascarenhas, Ivana Coutinho, Jairo Brandão Freitas, João Claudio Lyra, Luciana Brito, Marcelo Araújo, Murilo Fonseca Rebouças, Plácido Lima Filho, Roberto Pastor, Sergio Jezler e Sulivan Hübner. Para os hospitais Aliança, São Rafael e Cárdio Pulmonar, fazer parte do Grupo Rede D'Or, que tem a arte como parte intrínseca de seu DNA, reforça ainda mais a importância dessa conexão: saúde e arte. A presença da arte em todas as instalações e operações da Rede cria um ambiente que não apenas atende às necessidades clínicas dos pacientes, mas também valoriza a humanização dos espaços de saúde. Isso não só torna o ambiente mais acolhedor, mas também reconhece o poder da arte em inspirar, curar e comunicar.
