Everything turned into easy business for everyone. I didn’t hold back. But I, at least, have never impoverished anyone. I don’t know if the same thing can be said today, in the case of some artists and some evenings ». Yes, because long before the talks about pandemics, lockdowns, lockouts, refreshments, greasy discos to keep closed and so on, the clubbing system already showed heavy cracks behind the glittering face of Tomorrowland, the Balearics, Berghain, dance festivals full of people, of Kalkbrenner, of the EDM explosion with crazy numbers in streaming, as well as articles in newspapers and online magazines remotely controlled by Anglo-Saxon press offices and therefore always euphoric, always sparkling.

A crisis that was born – and still persists – perhaps precisely because the focus on music was lost and still has been lost, replacing it instead with that on fame, on the name. The focus on creativity has been lost and, Claudio loved to emphasize, also on ethics. In fact, always in that distant but profoundly prophetic chat: “We must bring ethics back to the center of every discourse. How many people today buy a thousand downloads of their song on Beatport, so they rise in the charts and make a name for themselves? And I shouldn’t be the one to tell you this shouldn’t be done, you should figure it out for yourself, damn it. And then again: we want to talk about the places that continue to book DJs as if they were the stickers of an album, just to collect famous names without any logic and without any artistic direction? And, speaking of art direction, those places that delegate all programming to external booking agencies, letting themselves be remotely controlled by them? Do we want to talk about it? Do we realize how insane is this what? “.

All this said with great awareness. «You understand now why I say that everything should be downsized. Overdoing it is bad for you, and bad for music. Oh, I know and understand the objection that can be made to me: “Well done, you have done your rounds in the carousel and now instead you say that we must stop everything: who are you to tell us? What do you want from us? “. Answer: just because I did the tour and I know what it leads to, I think I can afford to say that no, it’s not worth doing. In the long run it’s not worth it. ” Also because there was not only the fame of dj, of track filler, of king of the night and of house music: if Claudio Coccoluto became the dj-par-antonomasia it was at a certain point because you started to see him, and a lot, even in other contexts.

The situation could get worse, defaults increase and in the short term the losses could exceed the profits. But the high yield market potentially remains a great deal. Word of James Tomlins, manager of M&G Investments’ M&G (Lux) Global High Yield ESG Bond fund, that returns could be significant over the medium to long term. In fact, there are a number of reasons that play in favor of this market: the rapid and incisive policy response, the fact that the crisis triggered by the coronavirus should sooner or later have a certain end and the low valuations given that many of the bad news are already been priced.

“We have seen negative returns of -12.7% in the global high yield market. After a weak February, this brought first quarter returns to -13.7%. To put this into context, these were the worst second month and second quarter since 1998. Only in October 2008 and in the fourth quarter of 2008 was there a worse decline for the market ”.

“Yes, but probably not that much. In the long run, spreads have been wider (reaching over 2,000 basis points after the Lehman Brothers bankruptcy), and currently hover at just under 1,000 basis points. It is difficult to pinpoint the low point of this particular market cycle. It may have been a few days ago, it may be in a few months, but what gives me hope and comfort that the situation may not get much worse is that the policy response we have seen has been swift and incisive both in terms of support. to markets and direct fiscal support to companies and individuals. Remember that the last time spreads reached over 2000 was before the United States passed the Troubled Asset Relief Program directive. And we are also trusted by the fact that the coronavirus crisis has a very specific cause and therefore should have a certain end: once the infection rates drop significantly and life returns to a semblance of normalcy, the world will move on. . Of course, the economic impacts will be lasting, but not forever and, given the action of policymakers, I don’t think this is an existential crisis for high-yield markets “.

“Definitely. Global default rates stood between 0 and 5% for the high yield, before entering the current scenario.

We just have to note that this country has lacked, politically speaking, the human material.

They have tried and have even succeeded, but the question to ask is at what price? But above all who is paying this heavy fine. Those of us who do not remember the clear and clear political statements, pre-vote, which then led to the formation of the current parliamentary team. On the one hand, the then center-right, with the League in the lead “never with the five stars, never with the left. On the other, that of the center-left, “never with the five stars, never with the right”, paradoxically in the center in the anti-caste area the five stars “never with the populists of the right never with the left both guilty of having destroyed the country in the last 20 years “. After the elections, the first result was the Lega – Five-star government, the first Conte government, the second, always with Conte at the helm, the democratic party and the five-star government, all in just over a year.

The final result, without any concrete solution, in the continuous navigating between special powers, commissioners, phantom economic recovery plans and countless DPCMs was that after more than a year of pandemic, we are going to return to the red zone. Here is the unconditional surrender of the political class and its ruling class which cost, it is worth remembering, 100,000 Italians who died from Covid 19.

And so, pull the oars in the boat: Government of national salvation in a political jumble, certainly post ideological, with a pure technician and related external consultants at the helm for the most delicate issues that require real preparation, such as the question of the Recovery Plan in addition to all the logistics, to combat the pandemic, entrusted to the military. All disguised as a balance of survival with political ministers and undersecretaries, but who in fact, as they say in football jargon, “will not touch the ball”. In fact, even if they are all still firmly anchored in their seats, what in sociology would be called the Political Institution has failed, which has in fact lost its social function but even more so as to form the ruling class of a country. Between resignations, split coalitions, changes of shirt, expulsions from parliamentary groups and so on and so forth, in fact we just have to note that this country is lacking, politically speaking, the human material. Strong leadership, capable of making even drastic and unpopular decisions, but effective

Last year’s edition was epic, we can thank Bugo and Morgan with the story that has become a viral meme “What’s going on?”, Piero Pelù who, during the performance of the final, stole the handbag of a lady in the audience, Elettra Lamborghini with the duet with Miss Keta, Fiorello who imitates Maria De Filippi and many others.

It was certainly the last musical event that we were able to enjoy quietly before the pandemic broke out. So I wonder if Sanremo 2021 will be equally epic despite the bad moods of this period and the limitations imposed.

In my opinion it will be and will still be able to bring distraction and positivity in the midst of so much controversy.

But let’s go into detail. Let’s start with the cast of the Big category which for a good part comes from the indie scene but that’s fine because we finally have competitors who dominate the contemporary music scene. Here is a recap of the artists:

I approve of this artistic choice as there are different musical genres and lots of applause to Orietta Berti who had the courage to get involved, a sign of how much she cares about music and who participates without the ultimate aim of having to win but only for pure taste. to have fun. What if she really wins? Well we can only wish him that!

But let’s get back to us. As for the Sanremo Giovani category there are eight artists competing:

The Youth category will be presented during the first two evenings with four artists each. Only two will be the finalists who will perform during the final on March 5th where the winner will be decreed.

The whole event will take place inside the Ariston theater, with no internal audience, much less the external one because the municipality of Sanremo will be under special surveillance as well as being highly armored to avoid any kind of gathering. Unfortunately this will be a discordant note in that place that has always brought and continues to bring joy, but health and safety first of all.

How are we for guests? Amadeus and Fiorello do not disappoint even this year. We will see alternating conductors in all evenings Achille Lauro and Zlatan Ibrahimovic. As for the guests for an evening there will be both musicians and actors and sportsmen. Here are some of them: Alessandra Amoroso, Serena Rossi, Beatrice Vanzini, Vittoria Ceretti, Negramaro, Il Volo, Loredana Bertè, Mahmood, Ornella Vanoni with Francesco Gabbani, Mahmood, Alex Schwazer, Alberto Tomba and Federica Pellegrini. Laura Pausini was confirmed at the last moment, fresh from her Golden Globe victory as best song thanks to the song and soundtrack Io Sì (Seen) for the film Life in front of her.

Naomi Campbell was also supposed to be present to co-host the prime time but due to US restrictions currently in force she was unable to accept the proposal, instead of her there will be actress Matilde De Angelis.

For those who will not be able to follow the Festival, there will be The Jackal with the Tutto Sanremo podcast but it lasts less than it was inaugurated on February 24 on Spotify. They started by telling the past editions and will continue commenting evening by evening Sanremo 2021.

So why follow Sanremo? Because it is part of Italian culture and because it always manages to make us smile, for better or for worse. So let’s get comfortable on the sofa with a bottle of wine and enjoy the festival.

No twist, no second thoughts, at the end of the 2020 championship Valentino Rossi will say goodbye to the World Championship, at least as a rider. The champion from Tavullia confirmed this in some interviews released recently: «I signed my last contract and there won’t be another one. It wasn’t an easy decision, ”the Doctor said. First there is still a fascinating and prestigious goal to try to reach, the tenth world championship: “I still believe in it, I know it will be difficult but I want to try.”

Nine times MotoGP World Champion, 115 victories and 234 podiums in 402 races, 41 years old just yesterday, The Doctor, after 25 seasons, is preparing to end his wonderful career in MotoGP. Born on February 16, 1979, Rossi is one of the most titled riders on two wheels, by virtue of the nine world titles he won (five of which he won consecutively between 2001 and 2005), he is the only rider in the history of the World Championship to have won the World Championship in four different classes: 125, 250, 500 and MotoGP.

On 8 March, in Qatar, the great MotoGP circus will make the engines roar again. He will be there too, for the eighth championship in a row on the Yamaha. Rossi has come from some quite disappointing seasons. Many placings and a success that has been missing since 2017, from the Assen GP. A lifetime does indeed, but despite this there are still many who believe that he will soon return to victory. Maybe it’s just a question of the bike, the feeling with the rear that caused many problems last season, especially when the wear increased and the grip dropped, forcing him to fight too many times in the middle group. A giant that has become bulky even for Yamaha, in constant pursuit of Honda and Ducati. Marquez and Dovizioso run away, the Spaniard is one step away from overtaking Valentino in the world Olympus. It will not be a peaceful coexistence, certainly. Because Marquez is another aspect of the problem: too fast and hungry. Different from the various Biaggi, Gibernau, Capirossi and Stoner who, with and against Valentino, marked the golden age of the premier class.

Quartararo, his team colleague, will take his place on the factory Yamaha starting from 2021, eyes on the new season which will be the decisive one. Rossi’s performance in the first half of the season will be important to understand how the Italian 46’s career will continue; in agreement with his team, in fact, they will make the best decision for the future of both.

Unfortunately, time also passes for legends like him and from here at the beginning of the summer he will have to decide whether to continue or say goodbye to his world after more than twenty years of career, of triumphs, but also of defeats. A parable that resembles that of Francesco Totti, with doubts, reflections, hazards. Then the inevitable farewell dictated by technical and programming logic. Time is not kind to giants. Totti like Rossi, Roma like Yamaha. Stories that intertwine, myths that merge. And they get lost.

Valentino Rossi’s projects include endurance races on four wheels, but the hope of millions of fans is that his stay in MotoGP will be extended as much as possible. Is it still worth it?

The Romanian talent was the author of a good first half: he snatched the call-up with Romania for the World Cup qualifiers. First call to the senior national team also for Mihaila

Among the positive notes at Parma, very few, there is the debut of Dennis Man from 1 ‘. The expectations on the boy remain high, when he pays out many millions of euros it is natural to wonder if it is worth it. Perhaps it is too early to say, 45 ‘is certainly not enough to answer such a full and complex question. But Dennis has taken off the label of a tightrope walker, putting the ego aside and showing a good propensity for sacrifice. His talent at the service of the team can help, especially when he is sailing in muddy waters such as those that are hardly plowing Parma, you need people who know how to give the ball their own

The talent of Arad, a Romanian city on the border with Hungary, was limited by a blow to the head before giving way to his friend Mihaila, in the match against Inter. It took him a while to give up, tough as he is, before throwing in the towel he thought twice. And that’s not a way of saying. Before him he was checked by the doctors, after he was about to go out but he gritted his teeth and finished the first half, in order to send his friend Valentin to warm up to be more ready. And it was Mihaila who was the first to ascertain his condition, at half-time, when he went next to him to inquire about his state of health. His head was a bit heavy, some feeling of emptiness, but nothing more. He trained this morning and is ready to play. In Arad, a rebel city that fought against the communist regime together with the revolutionaries, he struggles to surrender.

A bit like Dennis, accompanied in Parma by a crowd of consensus and a very high waiting horizon such as to shake some certainty. Immediately after the game, the phone call came from his father, who closed the garage where he worked ahead of time to go and watch his son’s debut from 1 ‘in Serie A. Against Inter, the former team of his legend Adrian Mutu, Dennis had just enough time to swallow the feeling of playing a starter before getting dressed for the warm-up. No worries, no fears. D’Aversa changed the decision a few seconds before calling the technical meeting, he should have played Mihaila, who like his friend did well, but the choice fell on Man, good at playing the role of tightrope walker, to tie the game between midfield and attack, to enter the field to make room for Hernani to express himself wider. To finish, sew and dictate the counterattack. The passage to unmark Karamoh was splendid, it took everything in Barella to extinguish the spark.

But the sacred fire burns in the young Romanian talent, who studies Italian to be more ready and who paws in these 13 games left to carve out a place as a protagonist. It will be fundamental next year, regardless of the category. In Collecchio, where he lives with his girlfriend Alexandra whom he has known for 8 years, the young talent studies the language, devours hours of Fortnite at the Play Station and watches videos to improve himself. The bond with the family, who lives in Vladimirescu, is strong. His mother, a housewife, had predicted a great future for him, even though she had sometimes hidden it from him. For fear that football would take him away from Romania. But for every player, competing with Serie A is a unique challenge. Winning the challenge means demonstrating that you can live with the pressures. And Man knows how to live with it. Now he just has to get into the role well, he has the cuddles of the president and the esteem of D ‘Aversa from him, he has to wear the cape to become Super. Super Man, he also serves to drag the Crusaders out of limbo.

Despite the different nature and proportion of the two events, the comparison offers some insights because during the Second World War the economy of the main countries suffered the joint effect of three factors – the forced increase in savings; productive reconversion; the increase in public intervention – which can also be found to some extent in the Covid experience. Starting from the second half of the 1940s, while Europe slowly began its reconstruction, the American economy, contradicting the forecasts of economists who predicted recession, began an uninterrupted phase of growth that lasted fifteen years. The main engine of that economic miracle was the resumption of household spending propensity, which was so strong that it more than fully compensated for the reduction in military orders. Aggregate demand favored the rapid conversion of the economy from the war to the peace structure.

Some of those circumstances may reoccur today. A recent ECB study documents the sharp increase in the propensity to save individuals in 2020, more than 5 percentage points of household disposable income. These are precautionary or compulsory savings: expenses canceled or postponed either due to uncertainty or the inability to spend. The increase in the savings rate was added to the reduction in disposable income, equal to about another 5 percent. An equivalent rebound in the exit from the virus is to be expected, perhaps even higher, if part of the expenses have only been postponed.

The crisis has also caused or accelerated the productive reconversion towards sectors with high technological intensity, temporarily disadvantaging certain categories of services such as tourism, transport and catering. It does not seem unreasonable to hypothesize a scenario in which the recovery of household spending would be combined with a return of demand in these penalized sectors, while others that gained in the crisis (telecommunications, large online distribution, biotechnology, etc.) would not lose the advantage acquired but indeed they would continue to progress. To this should be added public intervention, now strategically addressed, especially in Europe, towards the implementation of public infrastructure investments and the enhancement of health, education and energy and environmental reconversion.

A possible virtuous scenario, but which for now can only be described with verbs in the conditional. What is certain is that the recovery will be uneven, precisely in relation to the different health strategies described above. The gaps can already be seen, with the emerging countries of Asia already launched and which have recovered the pre-crisis levels, the United States which in recent weeks continues to surprise with positive data, and Europe (with Italy near at the tail) still in the shallows of the recession. In the old continent, a boost is urgently needed to reduce the gaps and intensify efforts on the dual front of health strategy and economic recovery. Precisely what, as far as is known, President Draghi tried to impress last week at the meeting of the European Council.

Starting again with Excellence and C1 in 5-a-side football (also in the red zone), the FIGC gives the ok but is it worth it? Pros and cons for the resumption of tournaments

Starting again with Excellence and C1 in 5-a-side football (also in the red zone), the FIGC gives the ok but is it worth it? Pros and cons for the resumption of tournaments

Our pros and cons to eventual resumption of tournaments. The FIGC kicked off in recent days, on Wednesday the NLD will express itself on the formats, but there is a lot of perplexity on the part of clubs and members who “split” in two. Also in Trentino

A game phase of the Coppa Italia d’Eccellenza challenge between Gardolo and Lavis: will the championships restart?

TRENTO. On Friday, the Federal Council of the FIGC ruled in favor of the resumption of the top regional championships. For the body that governs the ball in Italy, the men’s and women’s excellence and men’s and women’s C1 5-a-side football tournaments must restart. A very short time with contact training (we are even talking about next week) and then, after Easter, start at the championships, which will end in a revisited format adapted to the timing.

The FIGC said yes, the (national) policy has not yet expressed itself and, in the meantime, the interesting companies (not only in the province of Trento) but throughout Italy are in limbo, even if the pressures not to restart are very strong and widespread. . Indeed, the party of the “no”, currently, is more numerous and fierce than those who, on the other hand, would like to return to the field.

Important note: the recognition of national interest for the aforementioned championships means that, at the current state of the provisions, athletes and teams would have freedom of movement and the possibility of taking the field even in the case of a red zone, as already happens for the Trentino and South Tyroleans participating in national competitions.

So what to do? Starting again or stopping? Postpone everything to next season or return to the pitch in front of empty stands and with the risk of seeing the activity interrupted after a few weeks and without any guarantee?

The FIGC is taking on an enormous responsibility towards clubs and members and the real risk for the highest national football body is that of being denied in the short term, which would mean an incredible loss of credibility.

And, wanting to go even deeper, because – as always – the last second was reached and the situation was not thoroughly evaluated months and months ago, when the tournaments were interrupted and it was self-evident that they would not restart immediately. ? Why not think of a “small” formula with protocols already in December to give companies time to organize themselves? All in extremis, as usual one would say, with a run-up that many, many presidents, coaches and players have no intention of making.

With this clear phrase, a friend liquidates my enthusiasm for an idea: to invent, dust off and research short lines that run through the towers and turrets of the Grignetta. We all know that a small mountain can never become big, or rather that a short climb will certainly not turn into a long one. But sometimes it escapes us that a short climb, due to its logic, beauty and “company” can easily become a “wonderful” climb, where pleasure knows no meter.

As I walk the length and breadth of the spiers above the house, sometimes the eye rests on invisible lines seen hundreds of times, where vertical paths are born for a play of fantasy. The stimulus is due to the fact that I fell in love with “sleep” and sleeping means getting up late and with less and less desire to (every weekend) endure long trips and meters of shopping paper to pay the toll.

The “It’s not worth it” sometimes makes me feel good, the search and the dusting off of the “old” are part of my desire … “Look at that crack, look at that plate, you saw that edge …” so saying, in company, we realize “our” short routes. With hammer and nails we mark our fast passage, memorizing everything leaving traces of our passage, small and pleasant works in the open air. Obviously, tastes are personal and what seems beautiful to us, or to us, maybe someone will not like it … but this is also part of the beauty!

A piece of paper, a page of a notebook is enough to trace the report, a few pitches that, from Sunday to Sunday, from season to season become many shots, short and long lengths of new or little repeated lines.

The names. The most intriguing thing is to decide on the name, “Spigolo delle Mamme”, “Via del Pietro”, “Diedro del Mystery” … Many nicknames suitable for the moment, a dedication to those who are to be born, a reminder to those who are not there plus, a tribute to whoever is important, this is the “It’s not worth it” spoken by a friend who doesn’t play my game.

One day, if it ever happens, I will put everything in order by putting together all the sheets of the notebook, and I will create a booklet. The man mountaineer, rock climber, ice climber, always needs news, he feeds on news! Each of us, mountain lovers, cold and hot as it is, has a notebook, his own and important notebook, where he transcribes with pen or memory the vertical days, so beautiful and important that they are sometimes … short!

Ps: some lines traveled were not named because we were unable to find out the name of the first climbers, we limited ourselves to “fixing” them by bolting stops and leaving lines in the numerous hourglasses.

To connect a third-party controller, you will need to open the settings and access the Bluetooth section; if you opt for an Amazon Luna Controller, download the app and follow the instructions. After configuring the controller and logging into your account, you will be ready to play.

This is the million dollar question and, so far, the answer is … fair; Although no longer in early access, Amazon Luna is still a work-in-progress.

During testing, we tested at least a quarter of the games, and overall, we’re happy to say that, with the exception of particularly fast-paced FPS titles, the experience is generally satisfactory. 2D platformers, real-time strategy titles, and even fighting games are played at their best. Only two IPs were nearly unplayable: Yooka-Laylee and Star Wars Pinball. The first is a 3D platformer from former Rare developers who, in a sense, is the spiritual successor to Banjo-Kazooie.

The problem with the latter was the framing, a defect also present in the console versions, which became even more annoying due to the latency; it made the title a bit unstable, not to the point of being unplayable, but enough to make the experience rather unpleasant.

The worst performance occurred on Star Wars Pinball: there was a fraction of a second delay between pressing the right trigger and activating the right pinball, enough to make us miss crucial shots and consequently the balls. Not all games require such timing, but for those that require low latency, Amazon Luna still struggles.

The good news is that we only encountered such drawbacks with two of the many games we tested, while Castlevania Collection, Lumines Remastered, Redout, Two Point Hospital, BlazBlue Cross Tag Battle, and others worked flawlessly.

Sure, running games from 10, 20, or even 30 years ago isn’t a great achievement, but Amazon Luna is still a work-in-progress.

At the end of January 2021, Amazon updated the list of devices compatible with Amazon Luna by adding several Android smartphones. The official announcement was posted on Luna’s Twitter account.

Among these we find several older smartphones including Google Pixel 3 and 3a, 3XL and 3a XL, in addition to the former top of the range Samsung Galaxy S9 and S9 +.

Luna is accessible via iOS smartphones in the form of an iOS 14-based web app. Although Apple has blocked access to Microsoft xCloud, Nvidia GeForce Now and Google Stadia services on iOS, Amazon Luna is immune to App Store guidelines not being a traditional app. It will in fact be a web app (PWA), which in practice is nothing more than a site from which you can start and play games regardless of your web server.
