How to Live the College Life

Most, if not all high school students, anticipate living the college life. At first, I thought it was about independence that I finally get to decide things on my own, but as I go through the span of time, I realized some thoughts that people have to keep in mind as they step foot on the journey of their college life:

1. Enroll to your dream program

One of the main foundations of your college life is the program that you’re enrolled in. Make sure that it is the program that fits your passion and happiness, not just something that you were forced to take. Are you willing to spend 4 years of your life surviving the program that you don’t like in the first place? It would be hard to persevere, and the only tendency is that you will have the thoughts to shift your program and restart your environment all over again. So as early as enrolling for your freshman year, choose the path that your heart desires.

2. Choose your circle

In college, not everyone is your friend. Every student came from different parts of the country –with diverse beliefs, cultures, routines, and mindsets. While it is true that you should bear with everyone, keep in mind that you have to be cautious on whom you trust. Unless you found a home in a circle, never settle to a group that does not fit your morals and standards. Find a circle that lifts everyone up and supports you in every step of the way –not a random group just “to belong”. This is the phase when you will realize that it is all about the quality of friendship rather than its quantity. Nonetheless, it’s alright to be all by yourself.

3. Decide for yourself

There are cases wherein you will be the one to chose your schedule –the reason why time is certainly in the palm of your hands. Make the most out of your idle time for you have the liberty to do whatever you want. Be independent of your decisions that you do not have to rely on other’s vacancy in order to fill yours. Remember that in every choice you make, you and only you will suffer its consequence: If you choose to have a night out rather than to study for an exam, your choice. If you choose to sleep rather than to accomplish your requirement due tomorrow, again, your choice. Do not be swayed by peer pressure because the choice is yours. Be matured enough to take responsibility of yourself.

4. Learn to adjust

In college, not everyone and everything will adjust for your convenience. Learn to adjust and adapt in order to scrutinize what works despite the situation. If your home is far from school, adjust your after class activities so that you’ll still have time to rest and do your works at home. If your daily allowance needs to be compromised with a sudden school fund collection, adjust the amount of money that you spend on food and cravings. If you’re not used to studying for hours, learn to adapt the habit to survive your course. College will not adjust for you, so adjust for college.

5. Utilize resources

Your resources are your best friends. Use your books, modules, and lectures to study for a certain subject. If you have taken notes of the previous discussion, use them. Although it works sometimes, do not rely on your stock knowledge. As long as you have your resources at hand, utilize them. Go to the library and find the materials you need. Research. Review your syllabus all the time to keep track of your study plan.

6. Know who, where, and how

You are not a toddler anymore that everything and everyone spoon-feeds you. Know who to contact in case that you need something or to whom will you confer about your program matters. You should know where to go in circumstances that you need to settle something or where the most convenient terminal to go home is. One tip is to use your phone to save contacts, take down notes, search, and download helpful apps. You should know everything, every connection, that will be of help to make things more bearable, so that along the way, you’ll get the hang of the college system.

7. Join organizations

If your time permits, join clubs and organizations that best suit your interest. Take part and be active! Aside that it will serve as a training ground for your future career, it lets you meet new people that have the same interests as you do. You will learn a lot from your mentors and create that sense of awareness around you that will widen your perspective and make you even more mature. You will also instill the value of leadership by being initiative and a problem solver in the group. After all, college life isn’t just about your academic endeavors. While it shapes your career, extra curricular activities shape your personality.

8. Do requirements strategically

It’s not just all about working right, but also working smart. Design your own game plan on how to accomplish tasks and fit them in a certain period of time. While most students hustle following exactly what is expected, go beyond the box and expand your resources to work on the task more strategically. This idea does not suggest to do illegal strategies, but to do a more practical tactic.

9. Aim for a clean record

Like any other universities, there are policies that you have to abide. While college life is not simple, do not do things that will stain your record whether it is on tardiness, absences, or minor infractions. You can still have fun without breaking the rules. It is not likely that you will be perfect for 4 years, but you can always do what is right.

10. Don’t forget to have fun

It is true that college may be more complicated than your high school life because there are a lot of expectations waving around your path, but do not forget to have fun while doing these things. There is fun in adjusting, there is fun in studying, there is fun in complying, and there is fun in being independent. It’s just a matter of how you put boundaries on having fun without jeopardizing your goal in life.

There are a lot of take aways from every college student, and I must say that these are not everything that you have to keep in mind. You can also build your own reminders as you go along the way. Feed your mindset that this journey is a training ground and a step closer into setting foot on your dreams –there is no turning back. Remember that it is better to suffer for 4 years, then enjoy the rest of your life; rather than enjoy for 4 years, and suffer for the rest of your life.

Good luck on your college journey!

Xoxo, Pau. ♥️

Why Rising U.S. Consumer Prices Could Mislead: Live Updates Here’s what you need to know: The latest Consumer Price Index is expected to show a jump in inflation, but central bankers say the price pressures are likely to be temporary.Credit…Andrew Spear for The New York Times Consumer prices are expected to jump sharply in April data that will be released on Wednesday, a move resulting mainly from a technical quirk — but one that investors will be watching carefully as they try to determine if inflation could alter Federal Reserve policy. The Consumer Price Index probably climbed by 3.6 percent in the year through April, economists surveyed by Bloomberg expect. The increase in prices from March to April is expected to be more muted, at 0.2 percent. The Labor Department will release the figures at 8:30 a.m. The annual jump would be the fastest increase since 2011, and a sign that prices are shooting higher as inflation figures lap extremely weak readings from 2020 and, to a lesser extent, as supply chain disruptions begin to bite and demand climbs. Central bankers think the jump in prices will be short-lived, and have made it clear that they plan to look past a temporary increase when setting policy. The technical quirks at work in April will last only a few months, officials point out, and while it is less clear when shortages will be resolved, they are expected to eventually work their way through the system as businesses ramp up production to meet demand. But the concern on Wall Street, and among some economists, is that the fast recovering economy, huge stimulus efforts from Washington and pent-up demand from consumers could mean that price gains are more pronounced or sustained than the Fed can tolerate. April 2021 forecast: +3.6% Percent change in Consumer Price Index from a year ago Some of April’s expected jump can be explained through what’s known as base effects — prices fell significantly last spring, so the increase now from the year prior is larger, even if prices are not rising as dramatically. 2021 Consumer Price Index April 2021 forecast: +3.6% Percent change in Consumer Price Index from a year ago Some of April’s expected jump can be explained through what’s known as base effects — prices fell significantly last spring, so the increase now from the year prior is larger, even if prices are not rising as dramatically. 2021 Consumer Price Index A key part of the central bank’s role is to keep price increases contained, so a steep acceleration in prices that is expected to last might prompt it to dial back policies that keep money cheap and credit flowing. Reducing the support would probably cause stock prices to sink. While the Fed defines its inflation target using a separate measure, the Personal Consumption Expenditure index, that metric relies on data from the C.P.I. and is also expected to move above the central bank’s goal. Fed officials aim for 2 percent annual inflation on average. Central bankers have been clear that they would react if, contrary to their expectations, signs of a persistent price takeoff emerged. But they have also said they want to avoid withdrawing support from the economy early, which could leave the labor market incompletely healed and put longer-run inflation at risk of returning to uncomfortably low levels, where they have been mired for much of the past decade. Lael Brainard, a Fed governor, said during a speech on Tuesday that “remaining patient through the transitory surge associated with reopening will help ensure” the economic momentum to “reach our goals.” SoftBank reported a net profit of more than $36 billion for the year ending in March.Credit…Philip Fong/Agence France-Presse — Getty Images The comeback continued for SoftBank on Wednesday, as the Japanese technology investment firm posted a net profit of more than $36 billion for the year ending in March. Yet a recent slide in confidence in technology stocks could make it more difficult for Masayoshi Son, the founder of the technology conglomerate turned investment powerhouse, to keep up the momentum after what seemed like an impossible change of fortune. Last May, SoftBank was in crisis after posting a loss of more than $12 billion. Its big bets on Wall Street favorites, like WeWork, the troubled office space company, and Uber, resulted in huge losses. But it was not down for long. Riding high on a post-pandemic stock boom, SoftBank has since notched seemingly unthinkable gains. When compared with its previously released figures, the year-end results implied a profit for the first three months of 2021 alone of more than $17 billion. In a live-streamed press event Wednesday, Mr. Son opened by showing a photo of the humble town where SoftBank began, before calling the huge earnings numbers “lucky plus lucky plus lucky.” Mr. Son told investors on Wednesday that he would not deny that he is a gambler. But he said he regretted some decisions. The question now is whether his current run of luck can continue. SoftBank’s profit, mostly paper gains from increases in investment values, was based heavily on a jump in the price of South Korean e-commerce firm Coupang after it listed earlier this year. Results were also lifted by strong share price rises from other SoftBank investments, DoorDash and Uber. The share price of all three companies has fallen sharply over the past month on a broader pullback in technology shares, in part related to fears over inflation out of the United States. Investors appeared more interested in the broader tech sell off than Mr. Son’s luck, as SoftBank’s shares fell more than 3 percent on Wednesday, despite the solid gains. With the Colonial Pipeline, a vital fuel pipeline stretching from Texas to New Jersey, shut down after a ransomware attack, airlines, consumers and state leaders are responding as gas prices rise in part of the country. Industry analysts said the impact of the shutdown would remain relatively minor as long as the artery was fully restored soon, but drivers scrambled to fuel their vehicles at filling stations across the Southeast on Tuesday in a panic-buying spree that left thousands of outlets out of gasoline. Gasoline in Georgia and a few other states rose 3 to 10 cents a gallon on Tuesday, a price jump typically seen only when hurricanes interrupt Gulf of Mexico refinery and pipeline operations A gallon of gas increased an average of nearly 7 cents in South Carolina and 6 cents in North Carolina on Tuesday, while gas in Virginia rose about 3 cents a gallon. Filling stations in Southern states were selling two to three times their normal amount of gasoline on Tuesday, according to the Oil Price Information Service, an organization that tracks the oil sector. Some stations are running out of fuel while others are limiting purchases to 10 gallons. Gov. Brian Kemp of Georgia signed an executive order suspending his state’s gasoline tax through Saturday, which amounts to roughly 20 cents a gallon. Gov. Roy Cooper of North Carolina and Gov. Ralph Northam of Virginia each declared a state of emergency in an effort to suspend some fuel transport rules. American Airlines said it had added stops to two daily flights out of Charlotte, N.C. One, to Honolulu, will stop in Dallas, where customers will change planes. The other, to London, will stop in Boston to refuel. The flights are expected to return to their original schedules on Saturday. Southwest Airlines said it was flying in supplemental fuel to Nashville, and United Airlines said it was flying extra fuel to Baltimore; Nashville; Savannah, Ga.; and Greenville-Spartanburg International Airport in South Carolina. Shopping for books in Barcelona last month. Spain’s economy, hit hard during the pandemic, is expected to grow nearly 6 percent this year.Credit…Pau Barrena/Agence France-Presse — Getty Images The economic outlook has brightened considerably across Europe after lockdowns restricted growth at the start of the year. Now, economists can foresee the complete recovery by the end of next year from the early effects of the pandemic. The British economy grew 2.1 percent in March from the previous month, the Office for National Statistics said on Wednesday. The reopening of schools was one of the biggest reasons for the larger-than-expected jump in economic growth, as well as a rise in retail spending even though many stores remained closed because of lockdowns. The statistics agency estimated that gross domestic product fell 1.5 percent in the first quarter, slightly less than economists surveyed by Bloomberg had predicted, while the country was under lockdown with nonessential stores, restaurants and other services such as hairdressers shut. Though the British economy is still nearly 9 percent smaller than it was at the end of 2019, before the pandemic, the Bank of England forecasts it to return to that size by the end of this year. The European Commission also upgraded its forecasts for the region on Wednesday. It predicted the European Union economies would grow 4.2 percent this year, up from a forecast of 3.7 percent three months ago. Germany’s economy is forecast to grow 3.4 percent this year and Spain, which suffered Europe’s deepest recession last year, is expected to grow nearly 6 percent. “The E.U. and euro area economies are expected to rebound strongly as vaccination rates increase and restrictions are eased,” the commission, the executive arm for the European Union, said on Wednesday. The recovery will be driven by household spending, investment, and a rising demand for European exports, it said. Still, despite the optimistic outlook, the commission warned that the risks were “high and will remain so as long as the shadow of the COVID-19 pandemic hangs over the economy.” Even as millions of people were vaccinated, the number of new coronavirus cases globally reached a peak in late April as the pandemic has struck especially hard in India. The uneven distribution of vaccines around the world and the emergence of new variants has the potential to set back the recovery. The National Institute Of Economic and Social Research in London said on Monday that it did not expect the British economy to return to its prepandemic size until the end of 2022, predicting a slower recovery than the central bank. Economists at the institute expect lower global growth because of uncertainty about the global vaccine rollout and lingering doubts about the end of the pandemic inducing more people to hold onto their savings, rather than spend it. The electric Endurance pickup truck made by Lordstown Motors. An investment firm claimed the company had inflated the number of orders for its pickup trucks.Credit…Tony Dejak/Associated Press Lordstown Motors is one of a dozen electric vehicle start-ups that have wowed investors with big plans to revolutionize the auto industry. But in February, a prototype it was testing in Michigan caught fire. Then, in April, another prototype dropped out of a 280-mile off-road race in Baja California after just 40 miles. Lordstown is also being investigated by the Securities and Exchange Commission, and its stock has tumbled from a high of about $30 last year to less than $8. The swift rise and stunning decline of Lordstown are emblematic of the recent mania for E.V. businesses that are far from making a product, let alone selling it, Neal E. Boudette and Matthew Goldstein report for The New York Times. That frenzy has been driven by investors looking for the next Tesla, a pioneer in the industry that has a strong sales lead over other electric-car makers. But Lordstown seems far from achieving its goal of churning out electric pickup trucks starting in September and becoming a challenger to G.M. and Ford Motor. It’s not alone. Shares of Nikola, which is developing heavy trucks, have fallen from around $65 to about $11, for example. The S.E.C. is looking into allegations by an investment firm that Nikola made false statements about its technology. Buying protective face masks following a small outbreak of coronavirus disease in Taipei, Taiwan, on Wednesday.Credit…Ann Wang/Reuters Growing concerns in Taiwan about a small but worsening coronavirus outbreak drove a sharp intraday plunge in its stock market on Wednesday, as investors worried about new government restrictions on businesses in a place that has largely escaped the pandemic. On Wednesday morning, Taiwan’s health minister, Chen Shih-chung, said that the island’s new outbreak has reached a “very severe stage” and that restrictions could be upgraded in “the coming days.” He spoke after the government reported 16 new cases of local infection on Wednesday and seven on Tuesday. The Taiwan Stock Exchange weighted index slumped as much as 8.6 percent intraday following the news, a nearly 13 percent loss from its April peak. The market regained some ground later in the day and finished down 4.1 percent. Taiwan has been a rare success story in a pandemic-stricken world. The island democracy threw up its borders when the pandemic first began to spread from mainland China and has heavily limited travel. It has recorded only 1,210 total cases, according to a tally by The New York Times. But the authorities haven’t been able to trace the handful of cases that have popped up in recent days, raising questions about whether the government will limit the number of people who can gather within restaurants or other businesses. Taiwan instituted some Covid-related restrictions on Tuesday, the first in a long time. It suspended large events, limiting outdoor gatherings to 500 people and indoor gatherings to 100 people. On Wednesday morning, the health minister said that the restrictions might be stiffened within days. Source link Orbem News #Consumer #Live #Mislead #Prices #rising #Updates

Ancient Greece as depicted in ‘Assassin’s Creed Odyssey ‘

The study of women in ancient Greece has historically been limited and scarce. Although, this situation began to change in the 1990s and with the rise of feminist movements. It was only then that scholars began to explore women who lived alongside men and were part of the ancient Greece society and economy.

There are a number of reasons for this overlook. For instance, some scholars believe that women were not studied because scholars had not thought of them as worth looking for (Morris, 1998, p.193). It is an inevitable fact that men had higher status in ancient Greece as well as more freedom and privileges as citizens than women who were often denied of equal opportunities. This difference in status and restrictions on women meant that women were also less likely to be the subject matter of an artist or craftsman’s object, unless they were goddesses who were important to Greeks’ faith and religious.This inadequate representation of women in general in ancient Greece in addition to limited number of archeological objects that remains today that could be properly analyzed led to this lack of scholarly study of ancient Greek women. Furthermore, some scholars believe that this underrepresentation was intentional.

“Women and slaves remain invisible not because of the inevitable methodological problems with attributing gender and legal status to excavated remains, but because Athenian male citizens wanted it that way.”

(Morris, 1998, p.220)

Regardless, there are still a number of archeological remains that could give us an idea on how women lived in ancient Greece. A great deal of our knowledge on ancient Greece women comes from illustrations done on household object such as vases. These illustration often tell a story or depict a specific scene and by analyzing them scholars are able to understand ancient people.

Below, we will take a look at some of these objects.

Name of object: Women at fountain house Approximate date of object: ca. 510–500 B.C. Material of object: Terracotta Dimensions of object: H. 14 3/4 in. (37.5 cm) Made in: Attica, Greece Current Location: The Metropolitan Museum of Art

Significance of the object: This hydria (water jar) depicts a scene where a group of Athenian women are shown to be chatting while filling their hydrias. On the right of the scene, a woman is depicted while she is waiting by the fountain and filling her hydria with water. Behind her, four woman are depicted while they chat with each other. Two of the women are carrying their hydrias on their heads. The other two are using hand gestures while they chat with each other. Providing the daily supply of water was often a woman’s domestic duties in ancient Greece.

Name of object: Hydria with a scene at a fountain-house Approximate date of object: 520BC-500BC Material of object: Pottery Dimensions of object: 50.80 cm Findspot of object: Vulci, Italy Made in: Attica, Greece Current Location: The British Museum

Significance of the object: This hydria depicts a scene in which women are preparing for a ritual while getting water from the fountain-house. There are six women in total in this scene. On the far left and far right we see two women on each side carrying hydrias on their shoulders as they leave the fountain-house. In the centre of the scene we see a pilaster and two Ionic columns, above them a pediment. Behind the pillars, we have two other women drawing water from the fountain shaped like the head of lion, as they pour them into the hydrias. One of the most important role of women in Ancient Greece was preparing for and performing rituals. According to the British Museum, where this hydria is currently on display, the leafy branches that some of the figures in the painting appear to be carrying is often seen in religious contexts suggesting this is a scene from a ritual for the gods Hermes and Dionysos. This ritual known as Hydrophoria, would take place “on the second day of the spring festival of the Anthesteria, and involved the ceremonial pouring of water into a particular chasm.” (The British Museum).

There are a number of household remains that depict women near water fountains. According to The Metropolitan Museum of Art, where the first hydria is on display today, after Peisistratos and his sons changed and improved the water system of the ancient Athens, these type of depictions became more common. These fountains provided an opportunity for women to socialize with each other, update each other on recent events and gossips, and take a break outside from their domestic responsibilities at home.

Name of object: Amphora likely depicting Sappho Approximate date created: 450BC (circa) Material of object: pottery Made in: Attica (Greece) Dimensions of object: 33.02 cm Type: Hydria Findspot: Kimissalla Current Location: The British Museum

Significance of object: This hydria (water jug) depicts four women in a room. One of the women is shown to be seated and is reading a scroll. The three other women appear to be attending her. The attendant on the left is shown to be standing with her left arm on her hip, her gaze down at the seating women, and her right arm holding an object that looks like a spindle flask. The women on the right also have their eyes down at the seating women. One of the women is holding a box and the other is holding what appears to be a flower.

Name of Object: Red-Figure Amphora with Musical Scene Approximate Date Created: 460-450 BC (Classical Greece) Material: terracotta Dimensions: 44.7 cm Type: amphorae Object Findspot: Attica, Greece Current Location: The Walters Art Museum

Significance of object: This amphorae (ancient Greece jar with two handles and a narrow neck) is the work of a prominent painter known as the Niobid Painter (named after his most famous vase). It depicts three affluent Athenian women whom appear to be playing musical instruments. According to the Walter’s Art Museum where this amphorae currently has been placed, the women appear to be wearing the attire of maenads, the female followers of Dionysus' cult (also known as Bacchus). The woman on the right appears to be holding double flutes while the woman in the middle is sitting on a chair and holding a barbiton (a stringed instrument). The third woman on the left appears to be opening a box. On the background we see a lyre (small u-shaped harp used in ancient Greece) hanging above them. This is one of the important pieces of art that remains today and could tell us how the ancient Greece women lived and spent their leisurely times.

Name of Object: Attic Black-Figure Mastos (Side A and B) Approximate Date Created: 520–500 B.C Material: terracotta Dimensions: 12.1 × 20.5 × 13.3 cm Type: Mastos Object Findspot: Athens, Greece Current Location: The J. Paul Getty Museum

Significance of object: The side A of this Mastos (drinking vessel shaped like a women’s breast), depicts a young woman who is playing a double flute. The Side B view, depicts another women dancing while holding a branch and an ivy spring. According to The J. Paul Getty Museum, these attributes as well as their attire which is made of animal skin indicates that they are maenads, female followers of Dionysos (the god of wine). The Mastos were rare type of pottery that were only produced in Athens in the late 500s B.C. and were meant to be used at a symposium (aristocratic male drinking party).Since the nipple did not provide a support for the cup to be put down on the table, the wine had to be consumed all at once.

Name of object: Cup with a Woman Drinking in a Storeroom Approximate Date Created:460–450 B.C. Location Created: Athens, Greece Material of the object: Terracotta Dimensions: 15.3 × 27.5 × 17.9 cm Type: Skyphos Current Location: The J. Paul Getty Museum

Significance of object: This skyphos (a two-handled deep wine-cup) depicts a scene from the daily life of two Athenian women. On the front, an older woman is depicted while she drinks wine from a skyphos. She appears to be out of balance and perhaps drunk. She is unattractive with a misshaped neck. On the left, another younger girl, perhaps a servant, is depicted while she holds a wineskin on her shoulders and carries a jug. According to the J. Paul Getty Museum, where this skyphos is currently on display, aristocratic women in ancient Athens were forbidden from drinking wine and getting drunk as it may have led them to commit adultery or may have harmed their babies. Such bans would have been lifted past child-bearing age. Therefore, this is an unusual piece that remains today which could tell us about these women’s daily lives.

There are a number of vases, jars, cups, and other household objects that depict women playing musical instruments , reading books, drinking wine, or dancing around. These depictions tell us women in ancient Greece did have other hobbies and were involved in a variety of activities besides their domestic duties. Yet, some scholars believe that these portrayals should be treated with cautious because we do not have any testimonies from these women themselves and all we have are illustrations and writings made by men.

“Although some vase paintings depict a rather rosy picture of women reading, playing musical instruments, and dancing that challenge the more conventional view of women as repressed and uneducated, we cannot know how typical such scenes are of daily life.”

(Garland, 2008, p.84)

Name of object: Attic Red-Figure Kylix Approximate Date Created: about 490 B.C Location Created: Athens, Greece Material of the object: Terracotta Dimensions: 8.5 × 36.9 cm Type: kylix Current Location: The J. Paul Getty Museum

Significance of the object: This kylix (cup with a shallow bowl and a tall stem), depicts a nude woman lying down on a bed with her left leg bent underneath her right leg. The woman is shown playing kottabos (a drinking game) and she holds a skyphos (drinking cup) with her right hand index finger. According to The J. Paul Getty Museum, since symposiums were events exclusive to men, the women who attended were either hetairai ( a courtesan) or hired prostitutes.

Name of object: Red-figured Psykter: Four Hetaerae Approximate Date Created: 505-500 B.C. Location Created: Attica, Greece Material of the object: Clay Dimensions: 35.5 cm Type: Psykter Current Location: The State Hermitage Museum

Significance of the objet: This Psykter (a vase used as wine cooler), depicts a nude woman who is laying down on a bed and drinking wine. According to The State Hermitage Museum, this vase is the only signed work by Euphronius, a leading Greek vase-painter. On her either side are also two other nude women. Similar to the previous picture, these women are most likely at a symposium and they are either hetaeraes or hired prostitutes for entrainment of men.

In a male dominant society such as ancient Greece where women had many restrictions and limited freedom, depictions of nude women can only mean one thing: they are either courtesans or hired prostitutes. Most of these women are believed to have been slaves or immigrants. In fact, foreign women are almost always discussed as sexual labourers (Kennedy, 2014, p.2). However, remained inscriptions and records indicates that these women also worked as nurses, midwives, woolworkers, musicians, and vendors at markets (Kennedy, 2014, p.3).

“As the Athenians further developed a sense of ethnic and social superiority over the course of the fi fth century, metic women found themselves the victims of a form of ideological warfare. They became the ultimate enemy of the Athenian state and thus found themselves spoken of and represented only as courtesans, concubines, and slaves. But we should not mistake this ideology of the metic woman, this tragic fantasy, for reality. The reality of these women’s lives was probably quite different“

(Kennedy, 2014, p.59)

New Post has been published on https://www.freenews.today/2021/03/30/transfer-talk-juves-dybala-linked-with-swap-for-barcas-dembele/

Transfer Talk: Juve's Dybala linked with swap for Barca's Dembele

The January transfer window may seem like a distant memory, but that doesn’t mean the rumour mill has shut down! Speculation over summer moves is heating up, so check out the latest gossip below, and see all official deals here.

TOP STORY: Juve’s Dybala linked with swap for Barca’s Dembele

Juventus‘ Paulo Dybala and Barcelona‘s Ousmane Dembele have been linked with a swap as both players’ contracts come to an end in 2022, according to Calciomercato.

– Insider Notebook: Haaland fee set at €180m – UEFA WC qualifiers on ESPN+: Stream games, replays (U.S. only) – Stream ESPN FC Daily on ESPN+ (U.S. only)

Dembele, 23, has definitely made an improvement on his previous campaigns in a Barcelona shirt, contributing nine goals and four assists in all competitions this term.

However, the aforementioned contract situation does mean he could still depart Camp Nou, due to Barcelona’s delicate financial position meaning. The club is especially wary of losing the winger for free after signing him for €105 million plus €40m in add-ons from Borussia Dortmund.

This comes despite club president Joan Laporta saying that he’s a fan of Dembele and stating that he is looking into a contract renewal.

Dybala, 27, has previously been linked with a swap deal to Barcelona — for Dembele’s teammate Antoine Griezmann. Dybala has also been mentioned to go to Paris Saint-Germain for Mauro Icardi.

There is a feeling at Juventus that Dembele is worth investing in — even if they lose Dybala — especially due to Dembele’s age.

PAPER GOSSIP

– Real Madrid are in a good position to sign David Alaba, but AS have suggested that Los Blancos are making backup plans in case they miss out. The report states that Sevilla FC‘s Jules Kounde, Villarreal‘s Pau Torres and Napoli‘s Kalidou Koulibaly are on the club’s list. They could also potentially turn to Jesus Vallejo, who is on loan to Granada — something that would save money in a tough financial climate.

– Following Monday’s announcement that Sergio Aguero will be leaving Manchester City in the summer, the Daily Mail has compiled a list of players who could replace the Argentine talisman. The first name is Borussia Dortmund’s Erling Haaland, who is said to be the main priority. City are also eyeing Tottenham Hotspur‘s Harry Kane and Southampton‘s Danny Ings. There is also interest in Barcelona great Lionel Messi, Paris Saint-Germain’s Kylian Mbappe and Internazionale frontman Romelu Lukaku.

As for Aguero, sources have told ESPN’s Mark Ogden that he is drawing interest from Juventus, Barcelona and PSG after ruling out a return to boyhood club Independiente.

– AC Milan are considering Lorient‘s Armand Lauriente to replace Alexis Saelemaekers, according to Calciomercato. The Italian giants have been looking at other Ligue 1 talent to fill that position, with Lille‘s Jonathan Ikone another option.

– Aston Villa have joined the race to sign AFC Bournemouth starlet Ajani Burchall, according to Football Insider. Arsenal, West Ham United and Leeds United are said to have already been looking at the 16-year-old attacker who hails from Bermuda.

9.02 h Blanc, de 54 anys i que com a jugador va estar una temporada al Barça, es va guanyar cert prestigi com a tècnic entrenant el Girondins de Bordeus, la selecció francesa i el PSG, i guanyant fins a 15 títols domèstics, entre ells 4 lligues franceses. Però porta 4 anys sense seure en una banqueta des de que l'any 2016 va deixar el club parisenc . D'acord amb aquesta informació, Blanc arribaria al Barça amb l'aval d'Éric Abidal i només firmaria per una temporada per no comprometre el president que s'imposi a les eleccions del 2021 a l'hora de triar tècnic per al seu projecte.

14.19 h Lampard vol un porter d'elit de primer nivell mundial i el Chelsea tempta el Barcelona o l'Atlètic de Madrid a vendre els seus preuats porters amb Kepa com a moneda de canvi. Segons Mundo Deportivo, però, el Barça no ha rebut cap contacte del Chelsea i tampoc té la intenció de deixar-lo sortir. Ter Stegen ha tingut grans actuacions les darreres temporades i es considera un dels pocs jugadors intransferibles.

EL BARÇA NO COMPTA AMB UMTITIEl Barça hauria comunicat a Samuel Umtiti que no compta amb ell per a la pròxima temporada. Segons informa el diari Sport, el central francès no entra en els plans de la direcció esportiva blaugrana després del seu baix rendiment i el club li estaria buscant una sortida en forma de cessió. Ara mateix, un dels clubs que veuria de bon ull la incorporacioó d'Umtiti és el Nàpols, precisament el rival del Barça als vuitens de final de la Champions i que busca un recanvi a la possible sortida de Koulibaly, amb ofertes importants d'altres clubs europeus. Malgrat les intencions del Barça, Umtiti té contracte fins al 30 de juny del 2023 i la seva intenció és complir-lo, segons avança Mundo Deportivo.

NEYMAR POT SEGUIR LES PASSES D'MBAPPÉSegons el rotatiu francès Le Parisien, les probabilitats que Neymar continuï a París una temporada més també s'apropen al 100%. Totes els inputs recollits del club i l'entorn del jugador apunten en aquesta direcció.Neymar i Kylian Mbappé junts. Les dues estrelles, contractades per un total de 402 milions d'euros a l'estiu del 2017, continuaran l'aventura junts com a mínim fins al proper mes de juny. Des del seu retorn del Brasil, on estava confinat, Neymar ha marcat quatre gols als partits de preparació del PSG, demostrant un excel·lent estat de forma.. Passa el temps publicant missatges de compromís i alegria a les xarxes socials. L'últim "post" que hi ha a la data d'avui és a sobre una bicicleta estàtica i un missatge contundent: "Estigueu contents! ".

MARIO GÖTZE A UN PAS DEL SEVILLAMario Götze no continuarà a les files del Borussia Dortmund, tal com ha confirmat el director esportiu del club, Michael Zorc. Després d'haver-se classificat per a la Champions League, el Sevilla s'ha convertit una de les opcions preferencials per al jugador alemany. Als seus 28 anys, Götze ha passat per les files del Borussia Dortmund i el Bayer de Munich, on va ser entrenat per Josep Guardiola. A més, també és recordat per marcar el gol que va donar el Mundial a la seva selecció davant l'Argentina de Leo Messi.

L'INTER VOL RENOVAR ELS SERVEIS DE LAUTARO MARTÍNEZL'Inter de Milà no està disposat a deixar marxar Lautaro Martínez aquest estiu. Segons informa La Gazzetta dello Sport, el club italià té intenció de renovar el contracte del davanter argentí, objectiu prioritari del Barça per reforçar l'atac la temporada que ve. Lautaro, de 22 anys i amb contracte fins al 2023, tindria una sucosa proposta de renovació de l'Inter, que estaria disposat a apujar-li el sou dels 1,5 milions actuals als 5 milions per temporada.

CAVANI APUNTA A LA PREMIEREl fins ara davanter del París Saint-Germain, l'uruguaià Edinson Cavani, podria fitxar pel Leeds de Marcelo Bielsa la temporada vinent. Així ho ha explicat a Sky Sport el propietari del club anglès, Andrea Radrizzani que pretén aconseguir un fitxatge de garanties per la davantera del Leeds en el seu retorn a la Premier League. Edinson Cavani, de 33 anys, va acabar la seva relació amb el PSG el passat 30 de juny i el seu nom ha sonat amb força com un possible reforç per l'Atlètic de Madrid de Diego Pablo Simeone.

A FRANÇA SITUEN LAURENT BLANC A LA BANQUETA DEL BARÇALa treva a Can Barça per afrontar el "rush" final de la Champions no implica que Quique Setién tingui garantida la seva continuitat a la banqueta més enllà del mes d'agost. De fet, ja son diversos els futuribles que han anat apareixent als mitjans en les últimes setmanes. Un d'ells és Laurent Blanc. L'opció del tècnic francès ha agafat més força aquest dimecres quan el diari "L'Equipe" l'ha situat a la portada, amb una bandera blaugrana de fons.

MBAPPÉ CONFIRMA QUE ES QUEDA AL PSGKylian Mbappé ha assegurat aquest dimarts que es quedarà al París Saint-Germain la pròxima temporada. El davanter francès ho ha confirmat en declaracions a Bein Sports durant el descans del partit amistós entre el PSG i el Celtic de Glasgow al Parc dels Prínceps.

"Estaré en el projecte del PSG per quart any consecutiu", ha afirmat Mbappé, que d'aquesta manera tanca la porta al seu possible fitxatge pel Reial Madrid aquest estiu.

EL CHELSEA APUNTA A TER STEGENEl Chelsea sap que té molt difícil fitxar Marc-André ter Stegen aquest estiu. El Barça l'ha declarat intransferible. Però Frank Lampard està fart de les actuacions de Kepa Arrizabalaga i busca portar un nou porter. El club de l'oest de Londres ja ha contactat amb Jan Oblak, tot i que probablement costaria més de 100 milions d'euros. Però ara el diari The Telegraph afirma que qui volen és a Ter Stegen.

DAVID GALLEGO, CANDIDAT A LA BANQUETA DE L'SPORTINGDavid Gallego és l'entrenador millor situat per ocupar la banqueta de l'Sporting de Gijón la temporada que ve. Segons informa Mundo Deportivo, el tècnic de Súria encaixa en el perfil que està buscant la direcció esportiva del conjunt asturià pel seu gran coneixement del treball amb el planter, com va demostrar durant la seva etapa al futbol base de l'Espanyol.

EL MANCHESTER UNITED VOL FITXAR JAMES RODRÍGUEZJames Rodríguez no compta per a Zinedine Zidane al Reial Madrid i el colombià busca una sortida per a la pròxima temporada. Tot i que el destí escollit pel colombià és l'Atlètic de Madrid, el seu sou de 8,5 milions d'euros fa inviable l'operació per al club "colchonero". D'aquesta situació en vol treure profit el Manchester United. Segons informa el Daily Star, el club anglès està preparant una oferta per aconseguir el fitxatge de James, per qui el Madrid demana una xifra al voltant dels 50 milions d'euros.
