Djokovic: Injured and then?

Victorious at the Australian Open, Novak Djokovic won the tournament despite an injury that handicapped him very early. An impressive performance for the 36-year-old athlete who can now dream of becoming the most successful Grand Slam tennis player in the history of his sport.

And by 22 ! This Sunday, January 29, 2023, the Serbian Novak Djokovic entered a little more in the legend of tennis. By winning his 22nd Grand Slam, a record he shares with Rafael Nadal, and his 10th Australian Open, the Serbian offered a performance that will remain in the memories. Indeed, according to Craig Tiley, boss of the Australian Open, Djokovic would have won the tournament with a tear of 3 centimeters in the left hamstring, contracted in the second match. In an interview with SEN Sportsday, the former player said: "There has been a lot of speculation about the veracity of this information, it's hard to believe that you can achieve such things with this kind of injury, but he is remarkable. He handled it very professionally," he added. In this interview, the Australian wanted to highlight the qualities of the now world number one, recalling that "even if he is hated by many, he is capable of doing unimaginable things".

"From a medical point of view, it is incredible and dangerous!"

If this performance is impressive, the side effects on the body of the Serbian can question. Maxime Itiar, an osteopath working with tennis players, warns about the condition of the athlete. He explains: "playing a match with a tear is dangerous at any level. Then to play one of the biggest competitions, I dare not imagine his condition at the end." According to him, if the tennis legend was able to achieve this performance, it is mainly thanks to "his impressive physical condition and the recovery work of his staff." Despite this, this tennis fan can't help but admire the performance of one of the best players in history who "showed that hard work and talent can work miracles". But this is not the first time that Novak Djokovic has performed while injured. Indeed, he had already won the Australian Open 2021 with a torn abdomen that, in addition to worsening, he missed several weeks of competition, including the first major events of the season. This raises questions about the usefulness of taking such risks.

Black Panther

Released in France in 2019, Ryan Coogler's Black Panther was a smash hit. Praised by the majority of critics, welcomed with fervor by the public, which took it to the top of the list of the world's biggest box-office successes, the film brought in $1.3 billion in revenue. Enough to make Marvel Studios confident that they would immediately launch a sequel to the adventures of their first African superhero, T'Challa, whose role was given to Chadwick Boseman. The sudden death in August 2020 of the actor, then aged 43, after the shock, forced a reworking of the script and postponed the shooting. In the second opus, Black Panther. Wakanda Forever (by the same director) the king of Wakanda is dead. And it is now his mother, the majestic Queen Ramonda (Angela Bassett) who reigns over the kingdom.

Alongside them are Okoye (Danai Gurira), commander of his personal guard; Princess Shuri (Letitia Wright), his daughter, a brilliant scientist who is struggling to recover from the disappearance of her brother; Nakia (Lupita Nyong'o), a vigilante and spy who was once T'Challa's fiancée; and the formidable fighter, Ayo (Florence Kasumba). The women who, in the first part, served as beautiful supporting roles now occupy the leading roles. They have taken the lead, the power and for one of them, the place of the invincible character. Shuri becoming, in Black Panther. Wakanda Forever, the worthy successor of her brother, the superheroine of the film.

We understand that feminization and mourning impose their marks. They will later appear as the pillars of the story, providing its two main threads: the mother-daughter relationship (in exchange for the father-son dynamic highlighted in the previous opus); the upheavals and repositioning to which the loss of a loved one forces us, both individually and collectively. The loss of a loved one affects the film's teams and is embodied in the characters, who are also forced to move forward. The strength of the story depends on this, which, after a somewhat muddled set-up, ends up taking us on board, with both the danger and a new superhero emerging in the process.

Sunken City

Still prosperous thanks to its gigantic vibranium deposit, a metal that has allowed it to develop a technology surpassing that of other countries, Wakanda cannot hope to live in peace. Jealous and coveted by other powers, the threat grows, a worldwide attack is taking shape, and another kingdom, also a holder of wealth and, for this reason, also in danger, appears in the sights: Talokan, a city sunken under the waters of the ocean, whose existence had until then escaped the surveillance of the Wakandans. It is revealed to them by the visit of its ruler, Namor, a winged leader, who has come out of the water to explain his project to Queen Ramonda. An alliance that would lead their two peoples into a war against the rest of the world.

An important fight in a voluntary society:

First I will learn about breast cancer itself, I will go to the sites: Medical Research Foundation which already informs me that more than 12,000 women are killed each year; The National Cancer Institute also allows me to support my future remarks by understanding how this disease is detected.

Now I find out more about what the month “Pink October” is: The FRM has also written an article about this month of pink October, they propose to make a donation to this organization to fight on our scale against this scourge. This may be an important point of my article with a possible subtitle on things to do. . .

I am now interested in the same subject but I try to compare my sources with the website: “Rose Ribbon”. To honor women and this difficult fight, as part of the Pink Month, an awareness campaign was set up at the foot of the Eiffel Tower. Thus, women affected by this disease have been able to testify. . .

The website “Rose October Challenge” offers to fight in their own way against this disease by offering a challenge! Drive as many kilometres as possible (walking, cycling, swimming. . . )

A cancer that women and men do not take lightly and is committed in different ways that I will be able to mention in my article by explaining what breast cancer is, how to fight it by locating it upstream, but also how to fight breast cancer in original ways (donation, sporting challenges. . . )

Senegalese journalist arrested for reporting against "national security

Pape Alé Niang, director of the information website Dakar Matin, was taken into custody on Sunday for disclosing "information of a nature to harm" security. In addition, a Buur News videographer was roughed up by police, according to the Coordination of Press Associations.

In Senegal, a journalist in police custody for information « harmful » to security. On Sunday November 6 at 2 pm a journalist was taken into police custody in Dakar.. He was put in the central police station in Dakar for three "offences", his lawyer Ciré Clédor Ly told AFP. The police accuse him of having "brought to the attention of the public information the propagation of which is likely to harm national defense and acts and maneuvers of such a nature as to involve public security and cause disturbances. The last offense is a "breach of professional secrecy ». according to his lawyer, who delivered "a mountain of heresy, intimidation and an attempt to muzzle the press. The coordination of press associations (CAP), which brings together local press organizations, said it was going to "provide all the assistance required" to the journalist, in a press release. The arrest of Pape Alé Niang was announced by local media as well as the cap before being affirmed to AFP by a police source.

The arrest came after publications by the journalist relating to accusations of rape, mainly targeting Ousmane Sonko. 48year old Ousmane Sonko, candidate for the 2024 presidential election, has been charged with rape and death threats.

The Senegalese president communicated, on Sunday, November 6, a drop in rent and food prices. As well as rice, oil, sugars and school supplies. The day after a meeting on consumption, Saturday November 5 in Dakar in the presence of traders and industrialists, the decision was taken. The reductions will be 5% and 20% for rents of 500,000 FCFA, and for rents of 300,000 FCFA the reductions will be 10% and 20%. Since 2014 the rent has risen sharply and has increased by 200% . According to the Dakar government, thousands of homes are missing.

The Senegalese parliament adopted a law to alleviate the poorest tenants in 2014. The text was to introduce a mandatory 29% reduction in rents below 150,000 CFA francs, but the measure was unsuccessful. Regarding food by Wednesday or Thursday orders will be taken and prices will be applied. According to the authorities, a recruitment of young people has been set up in order to enforce the prices.

Customers expressed to the press their hesitations about the effectiveness of these new measures due to the reluctance of traders. Senegal, like all African countries, is a victim of covid and the war in Ukraine, which has increased the cost of several products.

The Automotive Exhibition Mondial de l'auto Returns After 2 Years

By William Morel

This weekend the Mondial de l'auto, World’s top car show, drew to a close. Absent for 2 years because of Covid-19, the show returned to Paris Porte de Versailles this year, but many manufacturers were absent. On the other hand, the public showed up in droves, and the show attracted more than 180,000 visitors in four days.

Only four known manufacturers were present: DS, Peugeot, and the Renault group with Dacia and Alpine. The French manufacturers presented their new models like the 408, the e208 for Peugeot or the austral; and the new Mégane etech for Renault,

Most of the stands were foreign brands of cars, often electric, such as the recent Vietnamese manufacturer Vinfast, which presented its brand new range. Or the little-known NamX HUV, an SUV that has the particularity of running on hydrogen !

Hydrogen was a big theme at the show where the public was able to discover the first hydrogen car from the French manufacturer Hopium. It will arrive on the roads at the beginning of 2026. But its price is very high, more than 120,000 euros for this large and luxurious sedan. Cheaper solutions exist such as the small company Lormauto which offers for rent an electric Twingo 1 for 100 euros per month.

Special stands included one from the gendarmerie which showed the new 3008 hybrid and the new Alpine the famous car of the BRI; (Brigade Rapide d’intervention). Netflix had also made the trip to present the 2 main cars of their new film "Lost Bullet 2"

Known cars, there were many! Like the real star of this show, the 1000tiplat with which the youtube channel Vilebrequin came with several of their other famous cars, including the Citroën saxo, the radio-controlled BMW, or the very exclusive Pagani huayra a luxurious racing car

Indeed, environmental activists came to the Ferrari stand and damaged many cars. The stand was able to open again the next day partially. The four-day show is now over for 2022. See you next year for the 2023 edition.

Canada

By : William Morel

Ottawa wants to welcome 500,000 migrants per year until 2025 to fill the labor shortage in certain high-demand professions. Today, almost 1/4 of the population is foreign. Canada is short of people and today even almost 39 million peoples are no longer able to fill all the positions and jobs available.

The transport giant Alstom used Canada to cover up a major corruption and money laundering operation. It has emerged in a new trial. The company, which paid millions of dollars to a close associate of Tunisian dictator Ben Ali in 2006, was convicted by a British court in November 2019 because of Illegal financing..

A new attraction is proposed for tourists visiting Niagara Falls since July 2022. Located on the Canadian side, it is a tunnel that leads to an observation platform almost at the foot of the Horseshoe Falls. « The best place to see the falls, » according to CNN.

The tunnel is 670 meters long. It is part of the decommissioned Niagara Parks hydroelectric plant. A site that operated between 1905 and 2006, and powered regional industry. It was originally operated by the Canadian Niagara Power Company. Its purpose: to create electrical power from the water of the falls.

Paying without stopping: are the new barrier-free tolls really greener?

By: William Morel IEJ1A group B

With air quality deteriorating and fuel prices rising, are the new barrier-free tolls the solution? This new system, which has been introduced in the Allier region of France, reduces journey times while protecting the environment.

How do they work?

Motorists on the A79 will have to remember to pay: France's first toll-free motorway opens on Friday in the Allier. These "free flow" motorways already exist abroad. Users can travel at the authorized speed, without slowing down or stopping, by passing under gates equipped with cameras and sensors that identify their vehicle.

The easiest way to pay is to get a standard electronic toll tag. But it is also possible to pay on the website. The last option is to use one of the 16 kiosks along the motorway to pay by card or in cash. The customer then has 72 hours to pay. If they fail to do so, a fine of 90 euros will be added to the amount of the toll, and even 375 euros if they do not pay within 60 days.

Are the benefits for the environment real?

The barriers will be gradually replaced by gantries by mid-2025. The aim is to return 28 hectares to nature. This is the equivalent of 40 football pitches, which are currently occupied by the toll infrastructure.

The company also promises to save time, fuel, and CO2 emissions. This is because cars no longer need to stop and then accelerate again, which is a very fuel-intensive phase.

This solution seems so relevant that other motorways such as those in Haute-Savoie or the Mont Blanc tunnel are planning to convert their old tolls. Citing air quality in the Arve Valley as the reason.

Highways without barriers: how to pay?

Friday November 4, 2022, the A79 becomes the first French toll motorway but without toll stations. With an investment of 120 million euros, this new innovative model offers deferred payment. But beware of fraudsters: measures have been put in place to avoid non-payment.

The opening of the A79 as the first French toll-free motorway raises many challenges. From an economic point of view, the stakes are essential, we are talking about an investment of 120 million euros and a new payment model.

What are the means of financing?

There are three ways to pay. First, the simplest solution is to get a classic electronic toll tag. You can also pay on the motorway's website: all you must do is register your registration number and bank details once and for all to pay for each passage. Finally, it is possible to pay on the spot thanks to one of the 16 terminals at the edge of the motorway which allow you to pay by card or in cash. To settle the payment, you have 72 hours, says Pierre Méau, deputy customer director of the Paris-Rhin-Rhône motorways (APRR). After this period, a fine of 90 euros accompanied by the amount of the toll is required, increased to 375 euros without payment within 60 days.

Already established abroad, this type of motorway was adopted for the first time in France. Next on the list: the Normandy motorway.

Air Greenland will take possession of its first and only Airbus A330-800 on 30 November in Toulouse. The inaugural flight of the "Tuukkaq" took place on 25 October 2022. It is configured to accommodate 42 passengers in Business Class and 263 in Economy. It is scheduled to enter service in the fourth quarter of 2022, with routes including Air Greenland's base in Kangerlussuaq and Copenhagen Airport in Denmark.

China is getting closer to Greenland, in particular to assert itself in the polar conquest. This rapprochement will take the form of major investments in some of the region's infrastructure in the region

A new cooperation agreement between Iceland and Greenland was signed yesterday at the Arctic Council conference in Safnahúsið in Reykjavík, Iceland. Prime Minister Katrín Jakobsdóttir gave a speech in Danish and Greenlandic, among others, before she and Greenlandic leader Múte Bourup Egede signed the agreement.

The Great wealth of Morocco

It is a conflict that is deepening between Algeria and Morocco, indeed for some years a rivalry between the two countries around Western Sahara that economically paralyzes the countries of Africa. This conflict has deepened since Donald Trump recognized the "Moroccanness" of the Sahara against the normalization of relations between Rabat and Tel Aviv. This "agreement" did not delight the Algerians, because it means support from the United States and Israel.

Franco-Moroccan relations have never been so cold. For the past 1 year there has been a cold between the two countries since France decided to reduce the number of visas granted to Morocco and Algeria by 50%, which has annoyed the countries of North Africa. The Moroccan government called this act "an insult", which created a wave of indignation on social networks and in the media.

This Sunday, Morocco celebrated the 47th anniversary of the Green March. It is a tribute to former King Hassan II. It is with an envelope to enable infrastructure to be built to create employment from 77 billion dirhams that King Mohammed VI wishes the economic development of the Sahara to boost the creation of jobs and infrastructure.

According to the king, the Saharan province will make it possible to create a link between Morocco and other West African, to this end, great efforts are being made to transform the cities of the southern provinces into truly radiant and prosperous urban centers and attractive and promising economic hubs.

End of toll barriers on motorways: what are the advantages and disadvantages

The first to open on Friday 4 November 2022 is the A79 in the Allier region. We take a closer look at these new motorways with their many advantages and disadvantages.

This is a step forward for motorists. It is the end of toll barriers. This toll system has already been adopted abroad. It works well and has been accepted by motorists. All users will be able to drive continuously at the permitted speed and pay later. For motorists, this saves time and fuel. They only need to pay via their mobile phone before or after their journey, or acquire an electronic toll tag.

While many people are pleased with this new development, there are disadvantages. A minority of people have little or no access to the Internet: they are unaware of this new feature. They risk receiving a 90 euro fine if payment is not made within 72 hours. Finally, mobile payment saves time, but for users without a telephone who have to stop at a payment terminal to pay for their motorway journey, there is little difference with the old model.

Cyberbullying: 60% of young people are victims, what are the consequences?

According to a survey by the Audirep Institute, there has been an increase in the number of young victims of cyberbullying. This study shows the harmful consequences of these attacks on the Internet for the mental and physical health of individuals.

More than one in two young people between the ages of 18 and 25 is now a victim of online harassment, which is "a huge proportion", says Justin Atlas, Director General of e-Enfance. The 3018 hotline for cyberbullying situations has seen a 31% increase in calls. In fact, in 2022, they had 25,000 cases handled, compared to 19,000 in 2021.

A study shows that a majority of victims have been confronted with cyberbullying before the age of 21 on social networks such as Tiktok or Instagram. Most of these young people are registered on several platforms, which increases the risk of having to deal with cyberbullying. It can also be seen from surveys that more people who register on social networks or online games are male and uneducated.

According to the association e-Enfance, 49% of victims of cyberbullying think about suicide, which has "serious" consequences on their physical and mental health. On the other hand, 69% of victims declare having suffered from appetite problems, insomnia or feelings of despair

The end of the adventure in the French Cup for rac basketball.

On wednesday, November 23, the inhabitants of Rueil had an appointment with their destiny during the round of 16 of the Coupe de France. For this Gala match, they were opposed to the French first division club Le Mans Sarthe basket. A poster that will undoubtedly remain marked in the annals.

The sports hall of the Stadium displayed full; the atmosphere was at its height. Despite the difference in level between the two teams, the people of Rueil were ready to fight it out "we have nothing to lose, we are outsiders" testifies the young Parisian leader Elias kherzane. The Manseau had to make up for the absence of French international Terry Tarpey (wrist fracture), the Parisians had to deal with the withdrawal of one of the executives of the Jean-Frédéric Morency team.

Beat the odds in 40 minutes.

Reduced by this injury, the locals were surprised at the start of the game, conceding 21 points in the first quarter. In a much more balanced second act, the rac players believed in it, as did the supporters "they show us that they are capable of causing them problems, in particular by moving the defense," explains Raphaël, supporter of the Ile-de-France club. At the pose, the rac basketball players find themselves behind by only 8 small units.

A respected logic.

Returning from the locker room, Le Mans relied on its collective resources to knock out their evening opponent, helpless the third division players could do nothing to contain the 3-point address. For their part, the loss of balls and the missed baskets do not allow them to come back to the score. The small club found themselves behind by 23 points before the last quarter. If the chances of victory are moving away for the locals, the pleasure remains omnipresent for the players.

In this last act, the Manseaus eased off, to give the youngsters some playing time, while on the other side the people of Rueil took the opportunity to show their individual talents. Like Steven Richard, who completes a match with 16 points at 55% on shots. The Sarthois won 94-60, in a very good match played with respect. The supporters go back on it but are proud of their team which has not been unworthy. "We certainly lost, but we never gave up. Now we are concentrating on Friday's match," reports Warren Racine, captain of Rueillois.

Cyberbullying: 60% of young people aged 18-25 are affected

According to a survey published by the e-Enfance association, which answers the 3018 national number for victims of digital violence and is financed by the Caisse d'Épargne, nearly 60% of young people between 18 and 25 are victims of cyberbullying.

One young person in two is a victim of cyberbullying. The damage is heavy on the mental and physical health of those injured: 69% say they have experienced insomnia, appetite problems or despair and 49% have thought about suicide. Victims are confronted with cyberbullying before they are 21 years old, which causes them to drop out of school and lose confidence. The e-Enfance association, which manages the 3018 number to help victims of digital violence, has seen an increase in the number of cases handled, with 25,000 cases at the end of September 2022, compared with 19,000 cases in the whole of 2021. Another helpline, 3020, shows a clear increase in calls handled. The subjects for this number are mainly parents of pupils between the ages of CM1 and 5e.

Social networks play their part

Mocking, sharing photos without consent, and insults are the tools used by social network stalkers towards their victims. The use of social media is becoming increasingly common among young people, which greatly increases the risk of cyberbullying. The survey shows that the platform with the highest number of reports of harassment of young people is Tik Tok.
