“I have so many beautiful memories tied to my hair. The relationship we have with our hair is a deeply personal journey. From spending my childhood in my mother’s salon to my father applying oil to my scalp to treat my psoriasis – these moments were sacred to me”, said the singer who is launching a hair care line.

Namely, psoriasis is a common, chronic disease and is not contagious. It is an auto-inflammatory disease that causes the appearance of reddish lesions that peel on the skin.

Furthermore, in the interview, Beyoncé also talked about the very short pixie cut she had in 2013.

“I remember the day I decided to cut all my hair,” he said. “I didn’t have a specific style in mind. It wasn’t an aesthetic choice, but it was a huge emotional transformation and metamorphosis that I was going through.”

A year earlier, the singer had given birth to her first daughter, Blue Ivy.

“Cutting my hair was a rebellion against being this woman that society thinks I should be,” she says. “I was a new mom, and something about the liberation of becoming a mom made me want to just let go of it all. It was a physical representation of me letting go of the expectations placed on me. I just wanted that.”

On the 11th, Beyoncé announced “Act 2” from the album “Renaissance”, which will be released on March 29th. She has already presented two tracks from this new work, “Texas Hold ‘Em” and “16 Carriages”, both with a strong country influence.

“This morning, Ukraine’s military was forced to withdraw from Avdiivka after soldiers had to ration ammunition due to dwindling supplies as a result of Congressional inaction, resulting in Russia’s first notable gains in months”. 

“President Biden has emphasized the need for Congress to urgently approve the supplemental national security funding bill to resupply Ukrainian forces,” the White House said on Saturday (17).

With this, the call between the leaders takes place in a week defined by the US’s attempts to reaffirm its leadership on the world stage.

Biden also highlighted the urgency of sending additional funds to Ukraine amid the withdrawal from Avdiivka, a key town that in recent months has become the battlefield center of the eastern European war. The American leader also commented on the news of the death of Kremlin critic Alexei Navalny.

It is worth remembering that early last week, the Senate approved with bipartisan support a $95.3 billion foreign aid bill, which includes $60 billion to support Ukraine. However, Republican House Speaker Mike Johnson said he does not plan to move forward with the bill.

Additionally, U.S. officials have recently expressed concern about Russian gains in the war, suggesting it is a reflection of a slowdown in aid.

With this, the text is also against a military action that the Israelis intend to take in Rafah, in the south of the Gaza Strip. 

Members of the Israeli government said the country will invade Rafah during Ramadan, a month of prayer and fasting for Muslims that begins on March 10, if Hamas does not release the hostages it has held since the beginning of the war, on October 7, 2023.

However, it is still unclear whether the draft will be voted on by the Security Council and there is no date set for a meeting of representatives from the countries that make up the group.

The council has 15 members, and for a resolution to be approved, 9 of them must vote in favor and none of the permanent members (USA, France, United Kingdom, Russia and China) must veto the proposal.

It is good to remember that the USA and Israel are considered historical allies. The US even vetoed resolutions calling for a ceasefire in the war:

The first, in October last year, was a text written by Brazil’s representative on the UN Security Council.

The second, in December 2023, in a meeting called by the UN Secretary-General.

Accepting the BAFTA for best supporting actor on Sunday (18), for Christopher Nolan’s film, the actor made fun of the trajectory of his career [via Variety].

“When I was 15, I wanted to be like Peter O’Toole. When I was 25, I worked with Richard Attenborough and Anthony Hopkins [on Chaplin]. When I was 35, I finally understood why Richard had told me that Anthony was a better career model than Peter. When I was 42, I made two films with Guy Ritchie [in the Sherlock Holmes franchise] and discovered how it was possible to make huge Hollywood films with a British style”, began the actor.

“And then I played a guy named Tony in the MCU for about 12 years. Recently, this guy named Chris Nolan suggested that I should try more subtle acting in a desperate effort to salvage my credibility.” “I share this award with the other nominees. It has been an exceptional year.”

As a result, Downey Jr.’s award was one of seven trophies that Oppenheimer took at the BAFTA, making his status as a favorite for the 2024 Oscar even greater.

The film is available for streaming and for rent and purchase on various digital platforms.

The midfielder will miss the next game against Brentford on Monday (19). “I’m just disappointed — more so because I’m working hard to get myself back into a position where I can help and now I’ve got to miss a game”, said Phillips.
