When the Tonadillera took their stage tonight to open their show “Enamórate”, During the classic “Today I Want to Confess” the applause from the audience was so great that Pantoja had to wait several seconds to absorb the energy and endure the emotions.

Dressed in a yellow dress with pearls, a pronounced neckline and a yellow cape, when the interpretation of the song began, it was latent that the artist, born in Seville’s Triana district, intended to leave everything on stage. The undiminished vocal power corresponded to an impressive stage presence, as he always had throughout his musical career.

The nostalgic show, produced by LVR Forever, continued with the themes “Good Morning Sadness” And “Hold Me Strong”as a tribute to his loyal collaborator, the deceased John Gabriel. “Thank you. I love”hinted the 66-year-old artist, known as “La reina de la copla,” in her first spoken intervention.

María Isabel Pantoja Martín, who has shone in genres such as the Andalusian copla, flamenco, tonadilla and romantic ballad since the beginning of her career in the late 1970s, embarked on a musical tour of her greatest hits. Examples of this were the interpretations of songs such as “Marinero de luces”, “Tell me”, “He was my life” and “What am I going to do with you”.

At all times, Pantoja demonstrated her artistic and vocal prowess, getting audiences vibrating and excited, many who had seen her live at some point and others who were doing it for the first time. The singer was accompanied at all times by an orchestra of 12 musicians, including three violins and a cello, plus a grand piano and four choristers.

(Stephanie Rojas) Born in the Triana district of Seville, the artist came to leave everything on stage.

“It appears to be a lie. I would love to kiss everyone individually. In 11 years I haven’t stopped thinking about you. And I’ll tell you why I’ve been thinking about New York and the rest of the Latin American countries, but the thing is, I’ve been coming here for about 30 years.”commented the mother of Kiko Rivera and Isa Pantoja Martín. “You are a part of me and I of you. I did it, I will do it, and I will keep doing it, as long as those feet and my heart keep beating.he mentioned before the interpretation of the songs “Thinking of you”, “Why I like to die” and “Veneno”.

One of the best moments of the show happened during the song “My Soul is Falling in Love”, where the Spaniard interacted with the audience, who hummed the lyrics while Pantoja danced with joy and didn’t stop smiling mid-act. “And my soul falls in love with my Puerto Rico,” the song concluded.

Immediately afterwards, the notes of the classic sounded “That’s how it went”Moment when the audience applauded, stood up and, at the request of the singer, switched on the lights of the mobile phones. Pantoja did very little on the subject as the audience sang practically the entire song. This made the artist emotional and had to hold back tears. “You are wonderful”‘ Pantoja exclaimed, only to later add ‘For you Juan Gabriel’. Mexican singer-songwriter composed and recorded this song.

The costume changes were an element that drew a lot of public attention, as in the case of the Striking pink flamenco dress that is fitted to the body and is adorned with ruffles and a large train, in play with a red fan and a crown. This dress helped lay the groundwork for her take on the subject. “The Blackberry”which could definitely have been understood as a homage to the flamenco music legend, Lola Flores, who made said song popular.

The more than two-hour show ended with the emotional topics “Fall in love”, “My Way” And “America”, which earned a long and well-deserved applause that lasted several minutes and ended a very satisfying evening for everyone. This applause had the mission to thank the artist for the effort and the way to leave her soul in each of the songs she performed on stage.

career diverted

Jailed in Spain between 2014 and 2015 after being found guilty of money laundering, Pantoja resumed his artistic presentations in Spain from 2016. Since then he has also been part of several television programs in his native country to give several concert tours throughout Spain and several Latin American countries. As a matter of fact, the current tour “Enamore” was supposed to start in 2020 but had to be postponed due to the pandemic caused by COVID-19. The tour resumed in 2022 and reached the United States in 2023, including Miami, New York and Puerto Rico. The Spaniards are currently negotiating to add more cities in the United States to their Agenda 2023.

1677504314 SCANNER Ecuador the Yumbos and the sacred pools of Tulipe

SCANNER: Ecuador, the Yumbos and the sacred pools of Tulipe (+photos +video)

Although little known, these ancient stone structures are estimated to have been built between the years 400 and 1660 and are located about 70 kilometers from Quito in the Chocó Andino area.

They say that in these sunken spaces of various shapes, the shamans or “yachaks” held ceremonies and cults to the sun and moon, while the sages used them as mirrors and observed the sky reflected in the water for their astronomical studies.

Specialist Flor Sánchez of the Metropolitan Institute of Heritage told Prensa Latina that the existing archaeological evidence at Tulipe favors a number of histories among those living near the site.

There are those who are convinced that this area is a portal to other dimensions, that it is connected to other important sites in Mexico, for example, but experts do not support these theories, Sánchez commented.

With these beliefs, some people currently go to Tulipe to perform rituals, requiring the appropriate permits to do so, although it is forbidden to enter the pools because it is a sacred place and to maintain its state of conservation.

Not even in the times of the yumbos did everyone enter the pools, they were apparently intended for the city’s elite, the expert specified.

There are seven pools in total. Of those located in the central part of the complex, two are rectangular, and two more have a curved top.

The fifth is an irregular polygon with 19 angles and the sixth is very small, which is why it may have served a practical function, such as storing water for the entire complex, as all the pools are connected by an elaborate network of canals.

Farther away is the seventh basin, which is circular and whose walls contain a double row in the form of concentric rings where they appear to have invoked the sun and performed purification rites.

Some reports suggest that these pools, relatively close to the line dividing the planet into two hemispheres, may have been an outdoor astronomical observatory, where pooled water reflected the moon and constellations, a way Earth could be seen in capture this space… and the sky.

Every year, on March 20th, Tulipe celebrates the festival of the Equinox, a ritual of the Andean belief that begins the agricultural year, and at these times it is the indigenous people who make offerings to the deities to ensure the bounty of the harvests to guarantee .

CULTURAL AND MYSTICAL EVIDENCE

The complex, which displays the cultural testimonies of the Yumbo people, covers three hectares of land and is divided into two parts: the museum, which is a place of dissemination, and outside the pools, or ceremonial center, where the archaeological revelations are located.

A few meters from these structures flows the Tulipe River, although it is believed that the water used for the rites did not come from there but from nearby elevations and artificial terraces built to catch the rain.

The mysticism of the yumbos is preserved in this area and can also be seen in the petroglyphs, ancient stone engravings where circles predominate, a symbol of perfection, and spirals representing the cyclical and the movement so common in the pre-Columbian worldview .

A number of tolas remain nearby, truncated pyramids of earth and other materials about 20 meters high, which are said to have served as both dwellings and ceremonial or burial sites.

We can say that in Tulipe the ideas of nature are united with the balance of the cosmos and that’s how the Yumbos understood it, said Flor Sánchez, the expert and guide.

He told how this city was forced to emigrate both by the eruption of the Guagua Pichincha and Pululahua volcanoes in the second half of the 17th century and by Spanish colonization.

BEFORE CEREMONIAL CENTRE, NOW MUSEUM

To continue the history of the yumbos in Tulipe there is not only archaeological evidence but also a museum that has received international awards such as the Reina Sofía Award for Conservation and Restoration of Cultural Heritage (2011).

Between 2001 and 2004, the Cultural Heritage Salvage Fund, now known as the Metropolitan Heritage Institute, under the direction of Hólguer Jara, undertook a major excavation and restoration project at the site.

Thanks to his work, the museographic space was inaugurated on March 24, 2007, composed of three rooms that show the environment and geographical location of Tulipe, as well as ceramics, among other original objects and replicas.

They also state that the Yumbos were primarily a farming and trading people who also hunted and made handicrafts.

They used to carry baskets attached to their foreheads to carry fish, cassava, green bananas, papayas or meat, and they appear to have been robust people, as shown by wax models on display at the museum, derived from forensic studies of human remains, found in the zone .

The Yumbo culture left a historical, archaeological, and mythological legacy due to their familiarity with astronomy, geometry, and architecture, although some of their customs are still questioned.

Although the site was discovered in the 21st century, its history today attracts hundreds of people who visit this ancestral site, where questions feed the myths and legends surrounding the yumbos.

Model killed in Hong Kong: ex husband accused of murder

Following the murder of Hong Kong model Abby Choi, her ex-husband and two of his relatives were officially charged with murdering the 28-year-old today. The judge in charge refused to release the accused on bail. Choi’s same-aged ex-husband, brother and father now faces a life sentence.

Choi’s former mother-in-law was also accused of obstructing justice by destroying evidence. The judge adjourned the trial until May so that the investigation could be completed. A fifth suspect was arrested yesterday on suspicion of “assisting criminals”.

Parts of Choi’s remains were discovered in a fridge at a beachfront home. The police now assume that the model’s head, which they were still looking for on Saturday, is among the traces that were obtained.

Woman apparently attacked on her way home

Police officer Alan Chung said yesterday that police believe the model in the vehicle was attacked on the way home and was unconscious when they got there. According to investigators, the victim and her ex-husband’s family had financial disagreements.

Choi was reported missing for the first time on Wednesday. According to police, the family had previously lied to deceive investigators. Choi’s ex-husband was caught on Saturday trying to flee China’s SAR by boat.

This company is Finnish (Nokia Corporation), Taiwanese (Foxconn), French (Jean-François Baril) or even American (Google and Qualcomm). Is it the true descendant of the famous brand? Not really.

In fact, Nokia is still a Finnish corporation specializing in telecommunications. Its activity “Networks” consists of the use of antennas and infrastructures to manage networks. It is a key player in the rollout of 5G.

Some of the worlds finest weapons are now in Ukraine

Some of the world’s finest weapons are now in Ukraine and could transform the war

Arms worth tens of billions of dollars flowed into the United States from European and North American countries Ukraine. guns. Ammunition. rockets. Artillery.

At first, these countries insisted the weapons were “defensive” and intended to help Ukraine fight an aggressive Russian army that had entered the border without provocation.

A year later, as the battered but still powerful Russian army prepares to resume the offensive, the nature of weapons destined for Ukraine has changed dramatically. Armored vehicles, longrange missiles and advanced tanks are now arriving from the west.

The distinction between offensive and defensive weapons has always been somewhat arbitrary. But now Ukraine will have the opportunity to go on the offensive and possibly drive them away Russia of the country with some of the best weapons in the world. This means the stakes have been significantly upped for everyone involved.

And the reason for this is no secret. After successfully liberating vast areas in the south and northeast of the country in the second half of last year, Ukrainian forces are reportedly planning a new counteroffensive this year. The allied countries search their arsenals for any contribution that might give the planned counteroffensive the greatest possible chance of success.

Continued after the ad

When Russian forces invaded northern Ukraine in February last year and also advanced through the Donbass region in the east of the country US and other allies prioritized the use of ammunition, overtheshoulder antitank missiles, antiaircraft systems, and especially artillery, including hundreds of cannons compatible with Western ammunition.

Artillery, perhaps more than any other weapon, helped Ukrainian forces defend the capital, Kiev, and eventually stemmed the Russian advance east and south. After more than eleven months, Ukraine received no less than 750 artillery pieces and rocket launchers mounted on vehicles from the Allies. About 100 more such pieces are on their way.

“Despite the importance given to antitank weapons in the public narrative, Ukraine held back the Russian attempt to take Kiev with the concentrated fire of two artillery brigades,” wrote Mikhailo Zabrodski, Jack Watling, Oleksander V. Daniliuk and Nick Reynolds Study prepared for the Royal United Services Institute in London in November.

As the Russian attack slowed or even reversed in places like Kiev province, arms transfers to Ukraine began to include more weapons geared towards offense rather than defense. In consecutive deliveries that started in the second quarter of last year, Poland donated more than 200 old tanks. Some were old Sovietera T72s. Others were local variants of the same model.

Continued after the ad

These tanks were the first indication of a shift towards foreign offensive weapons. That shift accelerated in the middle of last year when the US and other allies began deploying armored transports, nimble tracked vehicles that bring infantry into battle so they can support tanks, which are usually the vanguard of an attack. UNITED STATES, Netherlands, Spain, Lithuania, Germany, Australia and other countries donated more than 1,400 of these vehicles, mostly American M113 models.

The armored transports arrived in time to take part in Ukrainian dual offensives in the provinces of Kharkiv It is Kherson northeast and south of the country respectively which started at the beginning of the second half. Exploiting gaps in Russian lines, Ukrainian brigades charged through occupied territory, cutting off Russian supply lines and forcing dozens of Russian soldiers to retreat.

The counteroffensives liberated thousands of square kilometers of occupied Ukraine and set the stage for another possible counteroffensive sometime in 2023. Kirilo Budanov, director of Ukraine’s military espionage agency, told ABC News early last month that Ukraine’s forces have a grand plan for a secondquarter attack. The attack would aim to liberate Russianheld Ukrainian territories “from Crimea to Donbass.” Meanwhile, Russian forces hinted at the possibility of launching their own attacks to consolidate their gains and thwart the Ukrainian offensive.

The prospect of clashing offensives has raised the stakes in Ukraine as its allies continue to adjust their weapons donations. As new weapons arrive and soldiers train in their use, “we will see that Ukrainians are also able to step forward and change the dynamics of the battlefield,” Laura Cooper, deputy deputy secretary of defense, told reporters last month . Defense for Russia, Ukraine and Eurasia. “Our focus is on that.”

This new urgency seems to have pushed the US and other allied countries to offer their surplus infantry fighting vehicles. They are like armored transports, but have more offensive weapons, including automatic cannons in turrets and antitank missiles.

Continued after the ad

With their heavy armament and speed, infantry fighting vehicles are particularly useful for offensive operations. The US and Germany each donate M2 and Marder combat vehicles to Ukraine. The donations “provide the necessary armaments to go on the offensive to liberate Russianheld Ukrainian territory,” Gen said. Markus MilleyChief of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, shortly after Pentagon announce the first donation of 109 M2 vehicles to Ukraine.

But the M2 and other vehicles like this were just the beginning. Other and better vehicles soon followed. O United Kingdom promised to donate 14 of his best tanks challenger 2. The US offered 31 tanks M1A2 State of the art.

Germany was slow to approve a Polish donation of about a dozen German tanks leopard 2to indicate to other European countries that they might do the same. So Germany offered Ukraine about a dozen of its own tanks.

Agile and powerful, tanks are inherently offensive weapons. And the donations of NATOstyle tanks with sophisticated armor, optics and fire control systems represent “an important step towards victory,” Ukraine’s President Volodmir Zelenskyy tweeted.

They are also the clearest sign that the weapons being sent to the war zone by Ukraine’s allies are increasingly geared towards attack rather than defence. And that signals some big changes on the battlefield.
