CURS VALUTAR - 31 August 2017


Un cântareț de manele din Vâlcea a accidentat mortal o femeie

Un cântăreţ de manele din Vâlcea, cu numele de scenă Dany Chinezul, este cercetat pentru că ar fi lovit cu maşina o femeie de 87 de ani şi ar fi fugit de la locul faptei.
Bătrâna a murit două ore mai târziu, iar el s-a prezentat la poliţie abia a doua zi, însoţit de avocat. Anchetatorii vor să vadă dacă şoferul era băut când s-a întâmplat totul şi de aceea nu a oprit. Bărbatul susţine însă că nu şi-a dat seama că ar fi lovit pe cineva.
Femeie credincioasă, Filofteia Vlad mergea spre biserică, duminică dimineaţă. Mai avea doar câţiva metri, când a fost izbită de o maşină. A rămas pe marginea drumului, într-o baltă de sânge. Aşa a găsit-o un vecin, care a dat alarmă.




Incendiu la o fabrica din Timis

Mobilizare de forţe în Timiş, după ce o fabrică, unde se prelucrează aluminiu, a fost cuprinsă de flăcări violente. Zeci de pompieri s-au luptat cu vălvătăile mai bine de şase ore, iar fumul gros s-a văzut de la peste 20 de kilometri.
În interiorul fabricii se aflau mai multe butelii de gaz, aşa că a existat în permanență pericol de explozie. În orele în care s-a desfăşurat intevenţia, tensiunea a atins cote maxime.
Incendiul a pornit initial dintr-o incapere de 300 de metri patrati, insa flacarile s-au extins cu o repeziciune iesita din comun.
Cei 70 de muncitori aflati in fabrica au fost evacuati si,
din fericire, nu au fost victime. Mai ales ca in interior se aflau foarte multe butelii si substante inflamabile.
Martorii povestesc ca pana la sosirea pompierilor s-au auzit mai multe explozii, care au facut ca flacarile sa se extinda in numai cateva minute.
Oamenii speriati din imprejurimi au venit sa vada ce se intampla si daca le este pusa in pericol sanatatea.
O comisie formata din pompieri si politisti criminalisti a declansat deja o ancheta si urmeaza sa stabileasc de la ce a pornit totul.
Este vorba despre o fabrica unde se prelucreaza aluminiu pentru componente auto. Focul, care a cuprins initial o incapere, s-a extins in scurt timp la intreaga constructie, de 5 mii de metri patrati.
Cele zece echipaje de pompieri trimise la fata locului au avut o misiune dificila, pentru ca fabrica este construita din materiale care ard foarte repede. 70 de militari au muncit timp de sase ore la stingerea focului si au primit ajutor si de la pompierii din localitatea Deta.




15 Surprising Facts You Probably Didn't Know About Gossip Girl

Prepare to feel a wee bit old: The first episode of Gossip Girl aired almost 10 years ago.

Yes. Ten.

As you may recall, the CW hit made waves on Sept. 19, 2007, following the popularity of the book series written Cecily von Ziegesar, quickly catapulting Blake Lively, Leighton Meester, Ed Westwick, Chace Crawford and Penn Badgley to fame.

In honor of the major anniversary, Vanity Fair caught up with the cast and crew—including creators Stephanie Savage and Josh Schwartz as well as writer Joshua Safran—who revealed some surprising facts not even the show's biggest fans may have known about.
1. It Was Inspired After The O.C.'s Success: Schwartz and Savage were also the creators and showrunners of The O.C. They were looking for something just as exciting to execute after the show's end, and Gossip Girl was just the way to do it.

"We learned a lot of lessons [on The O.C.] and its kind of crazy four-year run that we wanted to take and apply to something moving forward," Schwartz said. "And we were really excited about doing something in New York."

2. Blake Lively Was Pegged for Serena Van der Woodsen From the Start: Thanks to the books' fan groups and message boards as well as Lively's popularity in Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants, the creators already had an idea Lively was the girl for the role.

"We didn't see a lot of other girls for Serena," Schwartz said. "She has to be somebody that you believe would be sitting in the front row at Fashion Week eventually."

3. But Lively Wasn't So Sure: She wanted to get her degree. "I said, 'No, I want to go to college. Thank you, though,'" Lively recalled. "Then they said, 'OK, you can go to Columbia [University] one day a week. After the first year [of the show], it'll quiet down. Your life will go back to normal and you can start going to school. We can't put it in writing, but we promise you can go.' So that's why I said, 'OK. You know what? I'll do this.'"

She never ended up finishing college.

4. Leighton Meester Was Underwhelmed By the Audition Process: "I think it was just the normal, typical pilot season audition for me," she recalled. "I auditioned, and then I tested once, and then we did a screen test with everybody. And then, that was it...I dunno. I got it."

But her recollection doesn't entirely match her actions at the time.

"She came in and she was really funny, and really smart and played vulnerable," Schwartz clarified. "But there was one problem: She was blonde. And Blake was blonde, obviously; Serena had to be blonde. So, [Leighton, who played Blair Waldorf] went to the sink and dyed her hair. She wanted it."

5. The Two Girls Couldn't Have Been Any More Different: "Blake is very much in the moment. Blake knows what's happening. She knows this movie's coming out, this band is happening," Safran recalled. "Leighton [on the other hand] was very removed and very quiet, and, after her scenes were done, she would wander the stage. I had this image of her just in these gorgeous dresses with a book in her hand, sort of a little bit out of focus out in the corners."

6. And They Weren't BFFs: "Blake and Leighton were not friends," Safran continued. "They were friendly, but they were not friends like Serena and Blair. Yet the second they'd be on set together, it's as if they were."


7. Ed Westwick and Chace Crawford Were BFFs: The two—who played Chuck Bass and Nate Crawford—actually lived together in an apartment in New York City's Chelsea neighborhood when the show started filming. They first bonded at an Arctic Monkeys concert.

"We had these girls coming up to us, and they were kind of freaking out about it: 'Oh, we love the books.' [Ed and I] kept looking at each other like, shit, man," Crawford recalled.

8. Westwick's Style Was Inspired by Jersey Shore: But not how you'd think. Rather, the reason Westwick was so put together and fashionable was to bring the opposite of Jersey Shore to TV.

"I think because he was a Brit and had a different understanding of clothing and what it means, he was game day one," Gossip Girl costume designer Eric Daman explained. "He had a very big influence on menswear and how men dress today, and on what getting dressed up means. Menswear, at that point, was still very Jersey Shore...I'm very proud we got to break through to the men and be like, 'No, it's OK to dress up. You're not gonna look like some big pansy because you're in a fucking suit, dude. Suck it up, put on the bow tie.'"

9. And Penn Badgley Was Very Much Dan: Despite often his obvious dislike for the show, Badgley (who played Dan Humphrey) was very much like his character both on- and off-camera.

"Penn didn't like being on Gossip Girl, but...he was Dan," Safran said. "He may not have liked it, but [his character] was the closest to who he was."

10. Badgley and Lively Kept Their Split a Secret for Two Months: The on-screen couple dated in real life for three years while filming the show. However, when they split in 2010, they didn't want it to interfere with the show or their careers.

"The shocking thing was, I found out on the set of the season two finale that Blake and Penn had broken up months before," Safran recalled. "They kept the breakup hidden from the crew, which you could never do now. I don't even know how they did it. They kept it from everybody which is a testament to how good they are as actors. Because they did not want their personal drama to relate to the show."

11. And Leonardo DiCaprio Eventually Had an Impact: When Lively started dating DiCaprio in 2011 (before she ended up with Ryan Reynolds), it inspired the Gossip Girl writers. In fact, they even moved the show's filming to L.A. for a little while.

"We learned a lot from Blake," Safran said. "When I think about shooting the L.A. episodes, Blake was dating [DiCaprio] at the time, and she had this thing where she had a doll that she took photos of that she sent to Leo. Blake was way ahead of the curve. It was pre-Instagram. She was documenting her life in photographs in a way that people were not yet doing."

12. It Felt More Like Marketing Than Acting: Lively admitted that her real life and the show often crossed boundaries, which only heightened its popularity. In fact, she said she never really felt like she was acting.

"It felt like we were in the center of a marketing machine, a cultural pop phenomenon," she admitted to Vanity Fair. "We were creating three episodes at once sometimes, we were given our lines at the very last minute, we didn't know where our characters were going; there was no planning or arc...It almost felt like a sketch show. We were basically sort of reading off of cue cards. There were people taking pictures the whole time and paparazzi jumping in front of the cameras—it felt like we were part of a cultural experiment...There was something neat about that."

13. The Show Actually Had Its Own Gossip Girl: Before hacking was even a major thing, someone was getting into Gossip Girl emails and stealing scripts to sell online.

"Our scripts were ending up online, and we couldn't figure out how," one of the show's producers recalled. "We hired a private investigator. We didn't understand what was happening, because everything was getting leaked, every detail...A teenager, I think either [from] Russia or Bulgaria, had hacked one of the writer's e-mails, and was selling scripts on eBay. But they were underage, so they couldn't be prosecuted. It was a f--king production nightmare. We would have to 'X' out every script. We would have to print on red paper...It was like there was a 'Gossip Girl' in our system."
Gossip Girl CastThe CW
14. Westwick Still Doesn't Know Who the Real Gossip Girl Is: Even though the season finale revealed who'd been signing "xoxo, gossip girl" all those years, Westwick didn't get the memo.

"I still am not sure who GG was lol," he admitted to VF.

15. A Reboot Isn't Off the Table: When asked about a potential spin-off series or reunion show, both the producers and the cast didn't completely deny it.

"Yeah, I don't really hear [talk of] that," Meester said. "I guess I hear that in fits and starts here and there, but it's hard to say. If everyone was into it and if the timing was right, you know? I don't want to say, 'No, never.'"
Lively, on the other hand, said she'd "of course" take a role on a reboot into consideration.

"I'm open to anything that's good, that's interesting, and that sort of feels necessary," she said. "I imagine we all would [consider it]. I can't speak for everyone else, but we all owe so much to this show, and I think that it would be silly not to acknowledge that."

Game of Thrones' Kit Harington and Emilia Clarke Sound Off on Finale's Big Jon Snow Reveal

Game of Thrones introduced a new character on Sunday night...except he's actually been around all along. (Warning: MAJOR spoilers from the season seven finale ahead. Read at your own risk!)
Sunday night's finale finally confirmed one of the GOT fandom's most popular theories: R + L = J. Yes, Jon Snow (Kit Harington) is the son of Rhaegar Targaryen and Lyanna Stark...and he's legitimate, as the two were indeed married in a secret ceremony, which we got to see thanks to Bran's (Isaac Hempstead-Wright) visions.
This, obviously, is huge for a number of reasons. 1. Jon's real name is Aegon Targaryen and he's not a bastard. 2. He's the rightful heir to the Iron Throne. 3. Just as Bran and Sam are piecing this together, Jon and Daenerys (Emilia Clarke) were consummating their relationship for the first time. (Yay to them finally hooking up! Boo to incest! But hey, they don't know they are aunt and nephew?!)
Freaking out? Us too! And even Harington and Clarke were blown away by the reveal.
"Ewwwww!" is how Clarke predicted Dany will react when she finds out she had sex with her nephew in the eighth (and final) season) in an interview with Entertainment Weekly. "I think that's how it's going to go. I get the toothbrush—"
As for how the Queen will feel about Jon (or Aegon, we gotta start getting used to that, we guess!) actually being the rightful heir to the throne? "I've worked so hard, I don't want to share that throne," she told the mag. "No. The throne's big enough for one dragon bum, and that's mine. That's it!"
Of course, the bombshell revelation will impact Jon and Dany's relationship in some way, but the actors aren't sharing that info just yet.
Game of ThronesHBO
"That part of it, I can't predict," Harington said. "It could be them walking off into the sunset. It could be them killing each other." (We'll take the former please.)
Well, it will surely change their relationship, according to Game of Thrones' bosses.
"Just as we're seeing these two people come together, we're hearing the information that will inevitably, if not tear them apart, at least cause real problems in their relationship, " co-showrunner D.B. Weiss said of the reveal happening at the same time as Jon and Dany's hookup happening on-screen. " And she's his aunt."
Co-showrunner David Benioff added, "It complicates everything on a political level, on a personal level, and it just makes everything that could've been so neat and kind of perfect for Jon and Dany and it really muddies the waters."
You can say that again.
In the interview with EW, Harington talked about how unusual the process was for them to develop their characters' chemistry after not working together for six years, despite knowing each other personally all that time.
"Usually you go into a movie and meet [your costar] for the first time and you develop that chemistry over that time. But if you've known somebody for seven years and shared this incredible journey in your own lives together," he explained. "We're both kind of freaking out about it. I would be like, 'What's the sexual tension in this scene?' and she's like, 'Stop talking about sexual tension!' It's a unique experience to be in as an actor and you know the world is watching."
Clarke then joked, "Yeah [I would say], ‘Would you just stop? Just give me some sexy eyes, don't keep talking about sexual chemistry all the time."
When it came to the sex scene itself, Clarke liked that it was all action, saying, "I love that when we get to the saucy stuff it's a beautiful acceptance of a wordless…yep."
What did you think of Game of Thrones' season seven finale? Do you want to see Jon and Dany together or is it just wrong for you? Sound off in the comments!





Prevenția cancerului de sân

Cancerul de sân este cea mai răspândită formă de cancer din România. În fiecare an, mii de femei primesc acest diagnostic, iar majoritatea lor ajung pe masa de operație, în fața mastectomiei. Statisticile sunt îngrijorătoare, mai ales luând în calcul avertizarea Organizației Mondiale a Sănătății, care susține că în următorii 20 de ani numărul diagnosticelor de cancer va crește cu 70%.
Este o viziune sumbră asupra vieții, îngrijorătoare pentru noi și apropiații noștri. Un factor de schimbare al acestui scenariu este educația privind sănătatea noastră și mersul anual la medic. A venit vremea să acceptăm că boala nu trebuie niciodată ignorată și tratarea ei amânată. Numărul femeilor din România care ajung pe masa de operații nu ar mai crește cu această viteză alarmantă dacă ne-am educa să prevenim, în loc să tratăm.
Controale periodice în funcție de vârstă
Indiferent de vârstă, trebuie să ne dăm timp să ne cunoaștem propriul corp. El este mult mai inteligent decât îi acordăm credit și ne dă semnale multiple, la timp. Secretul este să îl ascultăm și să fim atente.
Auto-examinarea sânilor, un exercițiu necesar
Cel mai la îndemână control este cel pe care îl facem chiar noi. Auto-examinarea periodică a sânilor, preferabil în fiecare lună, ne aduce două mari beneficii: ne dă ocazia să ne cunoaștem corpul și să observăm cea mai mică schimbare și putem descoperi un posibil nodul. De cele mai multe ori nodulii sunt chisturi mamare benigne, deci necanceroase. Cu toate acestea, este recomandat să consultăm medicul imediat ce am descoperit orice formațiune neobișnuită.
Ecografia mamară anuală pentru femei sub 40 de ani
Ecografia mamară este un examen neinvaziv, care se recomandă în fiecare an. Femeile tinere, cu vârsta cuprinsă între 20-30 de ani uneori neglijează acest aspect, pentru că imaginea cancerului de sân este în mod greșit asociată persoanelor de peste 40 de ani. Realitatea este că în ultimii ani apariția bolii ține cont mai puțin de vârstă și apare chiar și la 20 de ani. De aceea trebuie să luam în serios recomandarea medicilor și să efectuăm acest control anual, deoarece convingerea că „mie nu mi se poate întâmpla” poate reprezenta, de multe ori, condamnarea la suferință.
Mamografia anuală pentru femei peste 40 de ani
Riscul de apariție al cancerului de sân la femei cu vârsta de peste 40 de ani este mai mare, de aceea medicii recomandă un examen cu mai multă acuratețe în rezultate, mamografia. Ea nu trebuie să înlocuiască neapărat ecografia, ele pot fi făcute în paralel.
Să ne informăm cu privire la simptome
Pe lângă controalele anuale, putem observa pe cont propriu simptome ale cancerului de sân. Avem nevoie de puțină informare și multă răbdare cu noi. Nodulii sunt cele mai frecvente semne, însă nu sunt singurele. Putem să fim atente și să remarcăm pete roșiatice sau inflamații la nivelul sânului. Ele indică o formă rară de cancer, deci nu vor fi întâlnite frecvent, însă trebuie mers la medic imediat ce le vedem. De asemenea, o mâncărime persistentă și o durere constantă de sân sunt semne alarmante. Dacă sânul își modifică mărimea sau forma și aceste schimbări nu sunt asociate alăptării, sarcinii sau menstruației, nu rămâneți indiferente și programați un consult. Alte semne sunt reprezentate de către scurgeri mamare, inversarea mameloanelor sau schimbări la nivelul pielii.
Luate individual, nu întotdeauna înseamnă cancer. De multe ori ele sunt alte semnale ale corpului, de pildă durerile de sân pot fi cauzate de schimbări hormonale, stres sau sutiene care nu se potrivesc. Însă există și situații nefericite când ele semnalează un cancer. Ascultându-le, ne dăm o șansă la viață, șansă pe care toată lumea o merită. Să nu fim noi cele care ne-o răpim!
Și tu poți ajuta supraviețuitoarele cancerului de sân!
 Femeile care înfruntă această boală sunt eroine, care au nevoie de sprijin pentru o recuperare completă. După mastectomie multe dintre ele își doresc proteze externe de sân, care să le ajute în viața de zi cu zi, însă nu toate și le permit. Asociația Casiopeea este o organizație care vine în ajutorul acestor femei. Anual asociația organizează Cursa Roz și Marșul pentru familii, un eveniment caritabil care își propune strângerea de fonduri pentru achiziționarea protezelor.
La final, acestea sunt donate supraviețuitoarelor. Din 2010 până în prezent asociația Casiopeea a reunit anual peste 3000 de participanți și a donat peste 1900 de proteze. Anul acesta evenimentul are loc în data de 30 septembrie în București și își propune să aducă împreună oameni care vor să ajute cu oameni care se lasă ajutați.
