Abstract
Pakistan economy relay on agriculture. A significant piece of the GDP involves that salary which is produced by the agribusiness and agro-base exercises. Ladies are spine of the family unit economy and assume an extremely noteworthy job in agro-base exercises in rustic territories. This investigation comprise of practically half of the populace for example ladies interest in farming. Pakistan and India are the two different nations as the two different economies are comparative in financial societies. This paper likewise covers the reasons of change in ladies work in horticulture and measures which concerned specialists ought to receive so as to increments support as well as profitability of female work.Ladies have consistently assumed a significant job in farming, undertaking a wide scope of exercises identifying with food creation, handling and promoting. Past the homestead, ladies assume a key job in land and water the executives in every creating nation. Ladies are frequently the authorities of water, kindling and grain.
Introduction:
GENDER mainstreaming a way to deal with approach making that considers the two ladies' and men's inclinations and concerns. The idea of sexual orientation mainstreaming was first presented at the 1985 Nairobi World Conference on Women.Sexual orientation mainstreaming is a worldwide issue, contacting the delicate cerebrums of scholars, specialists and researchers of 21st century. Though the job of ladies in all circles of life isn't equivalent with the sources gave to them by the states and the social orders also. Despite the fact that ladies investment in farming division is noteworthy however consequently they are denied of their fundamental training and have least access to data sources; like tv،, newspaper, radio and different sources. Right now study was led to look at the deterrents to sex mainstreaming in the rural augmentation. For the current investigation 500 number of families were chosen as study test. The information were gathered with the assistance of pre-tried and approved meeting plan. Discoveries indicated least degree of training particularly for spouses. In addition, these ladies were having immaterial use of data sources. The investigation unequivocally suggests advancement of instruction and data hotspots for ranch families. The finding of research study featured the prompt consideration of Government, arrangement producers and social orders to have a look over such lacks.
Objectives
The manual is planned for use in preparing field augmentation operators and provincial advancement laborers working at the town level and it accept a general information on fundamental expansion standards and strategies.The general target of this instructional booklet is to help field expansion laborers in working all the more viably with ladies ranchers. Specifically, the manual plans to give preparing materials and data that could upgrade field laborers abilities to:
• recognize needs, needs, imperatives and openings notice by country ladies;
• guarantee that augmentation bundles meet explicit sex necessities;
• contact and discuss successfully with rustic ladies.
Main challenges
Land Ownership: Despite an expanding obligation regarding food and other cash crops, women do not have a secure entitlement to landandasset ownership. Men dominate this space. Without a male head of family unit, old ladies may accept this accountability. Once in a while this occurs by decision or unavoidable conditions, for example, the passing of husband, divorce, out-migration of men, etc. General society and private associations have never put forth a cognizant attempt to bring mindfulness among men and women regarding their rights ownership rights. A survey conducted by AKRSP indicates that 31 percent of the households have women holding assets and these include landhouse, shops, ornaments, gold, jewellery, fruit trees, forest trees and livestock.
infrastructure/technology: Major agricultural infrastructure including water channels and roads either dont exist or is in a poor condition. The storerooms are not accessible. Network constructed and oversaw water system channels are for the most part inclined to fiascos, for example, avalanches and frequent channel breakage.
poor inputs: This causes the families to depend on customary seed assortments, low milk production breeds, and local poultry breeds. They are both the general population and private parts they have not had the option to address these issues. There is a significant issue in the flexibly of improved excellent oat, vegetable seeds and seed potato. Without guaranteed flexibly of improved seed there is minimal possibility of improving yields.
Lack of decision making:As indicated by AKRSP, in 23 percent families, ladies settle on free choices in regards to cultivate costs while in 57 percent families, ladies don't have any dynamic force. It is additionally fascinating to realize that ladies with instruction, aptitudes and specialized preparing are bound to take an interest in choice making. than women exceptance of these characteristics .Ladies working in horticulture are less inclined to choose about the deal or acquisition of advantages.
strict limitations: Women's entrance to cultivate assets relies on the strict and socio-social frameworks winning in their general vicinity of living arrangement. In a few traditionalist regions, for example, Diamer and Astore, ladies are carefully precluded from managing outsiders. Women are not allowed to work out side . During these times they remain at the house. Maybe perhaps the best obstruction in ladies' support in ranch asset the executives is their absence of versatility
Showcasing Constraint's: Women make a solid effort to amplify creation from subsistence cultivating. Because of poor promoting offices, the vast majority of the ladies who are associated with horticulture related endeavors (vegetables, natural products, nursery, poultry and so on.) are confronting extraordinary with promoting, one of which is the absence of foundation. Without great items. Pay acquiring openings are additionally not accessible for ladies.
Womens work is not recognize:: Women's unpaid work isn't perceived at family and network level. The national monetary overviews have never deciphered ladies' remaining task at hand into monitory terms.
Sustenance Situation: The most recent National Nutrition Survey 2011 uncovered that ailing health is predominant in GB particularly among youngsters and ladies of childbearing age. Around 32 percent with low birth weigh.on Body Mass Index (BMI), about 9.5 percent moms are corpulent and 15 percent are underweight,Nutrient An, Iodine and Zinc among kids as long as 5 years and moms. In common and territorial correlation, breastfeeding was most elevated (92.2 percent) in Gilgit Baltistan The detailed utilization of iodized salt for cooking was 94.8 percent.
Requirements in the entrance to farming expansion administrations and social assurance wellbeing nets: Men and ladies ranchers don't have introduction to present day cultivating rehearses because of powerless augmentation administrations. Access and Accessibility to innovation are absent. As referenced before, absence of ladies faculty in totally concerned offices further confines ladies ranchers access to improved and motorized cultivating frameworks.
Recommendations:
Institutional and Policy Reforms: The state government needs to present and execute unique ladies shares up to 10% for enlistment in the general population and private area characteristic asset the executives divisions. Powerful institutional and lawful changes are required in all divisions counting horticulture that ought to energize ladies to work, particularly in the farming, domesticated animals, and ranger service divisions.
Women Focused Projects: Future activities structure and usage ought to be sexual orientation delicate. There is a requirement for explicit tasks intended for the individuals living in wretched neediness dependent on their particular issues and needs. The least fortunate families ought to be urged through various impetuses to turn out to be a piece of the institutional arrangement alread existing at the town, UC and locale level.
privileges: Women's interest in network land conveyance choices ought to be empowered. The two people ought to have equivalent rights to desolate terrains created by them. Mindfulness ought to be brought to consider ladies up in dynamic while selling and purchasing of land.
Water system Infrastructure Development: Rehabilitation of water system foundation through on-ranch water the executives and new water system framework is fundamental. The legislature foundations. Likewise, sufficient degree of financing for fix, upkeep and activityof water system frameworks ought to be given in the yearly spending plans. As ladies are the extreme directors of water at the homestead level, they by and large face water shortage issues both for water system and drinking purposes along these lines there is have to fuse ladies .
Quality Inputs: Provision of confirmed seeds and planting material of improved quality in expansion to game plan of essential horticultural sources of info, Such as concoction fertilzers, hardware. seeds, and so forth on financed rates to ladies ranchers will help improve neighborhood economy.
Limit Building: Capacity of ladies and men should be fortified to support them Sell their farming produce at better rates, to decrease post collect misfortunes, and improve on strategies forms engaged with picking, bundling, evaluating, item improvement, what's more, affirmation. Discount showcases likewise should be built up.
Money related Assistance: Considerable work has been done at government and common society level to improve individuals' entrance to moderate monetary administrations. Since ladies need resource possession, there is a need to make specific money related organizations or present monetary items in the current structures that can help address this issue and can encourage ladies to begin their own undertaking. These monetary organizations ought to likewise help create business abilities in ladies
Dairy Development: Dairy cultivating and handling is a region with high potential for focusing on ladies' advancement. This should be possible through presenting improved breeds, silage making, transpor tatiorn offices, improved grub assortments, better ranch the board rehearses, convenient and proficient accessibility of veterinary wellbeing administrations, and foundation of coordinated milk assortment and transportation framework.
Preservation of common assets: The legislature and improvement accomplices ought to put forth extraordinary attempts to include ladies through urging them to become of the protection boards individually of trust for preservation of regular assets and high fields lands. Association of ladies in the board of timberland and untamed life assets and connecting of preservation endeavors to salary creating openings, for example, trophy chasing, eco the travel industry and carbon exchanging, is fundamental to ration these rare assets
Improving Nutrition: In request to give the necessary nourishment, it will be imperative to advance nousenold vegetable creation. Poor and little tarmers don't nave the budgetary asset to purchase these things from showcase and vigorously depend on grain. This satisfies their caloric prerequisite however not the absence of sustenance. Developing vegetables and heartbeats will make up for the dietary benefit of the nourishment. Correspondingly heartbeats can make up for meat, which is by and large past the buying intensity of poor ranchers. Ladies can be developed and material of the soil to made the dietary substance of their family's eating routine particularly in lean seasons.

Pakistan-United States relations.
Relations between countries are always based on bilateral principles. Unfortunately, in case of Pakistan the ground reality has always been changed from United States of America. Pakistan was a newly emerged country during 1950s, and her leadership was busy to handle the worsened situation, other countries were busy in industrial and agricultural competition. After the world war II, states such as Soviet Union and United States (US) were in cold war. In this condition the newly born country received invitation from both sides. As Pakistan is a Muslim country and Soviet has Godless ideology which was not suited to leadership. So, the country's inclination had towards US. In 1950s, the country was US allied. Pakistan joined Southeast Asia Treaty Organization (SEATO) called Manila Pact in 1954 and the Central Treaty Organization (Baghdad Pact) in 1955. Pak- US enjoyed the relationship till 1960s, after which, Pakistan came in favour of China and US in support of India. The relationship in 1962, more wrecked when Sino-India war took place. Washington declared India as most closed ally in Southeast Asia. Before 1970s, US shown realistic ties. In 1971, war against India, US helped Pakistan by aid arms and military sharing intelligence. It was done due to Soviet fear, because losing war for Pakistan means paved way to Soviet. In the Zia-ul-Haq regime, both states enjoyed relationship during 1979-1988. Than the era of 1990s was started when Pakistan faced many restrictions. The country was degraded by Pressler Amendment to watched on nuclear proliferation. All types of aid for Pakistan were stopped by US. Although, India had detonated nuclear bomb in 1974 but on 18 May 1998, India conducted nuclear tests. In response Pakistan conducted nuclear tests on 28 May 1998. United States imposed further restrictions on both countries by Glenn Amendment. However, the sanctions were lifted in 2001, in the same year 9/11 tragedy occurred in US. This incident has changed world politics. For the compensation of American citizens US declared war on Afghanistan with the help of NATO. To target Taliban's chief such as Al Qa'ida, Haqqani network and Tahreek e Taliban Pakistan unmanned flying planes used in 2004. These drone attacks were targeting militants group in Pakistani territory. Meanwhile, President Musharaf has given permission for some attacks in tribal areas. But when Pakistan Peoples Party came into power has shown annoyance to US but these drones attack kept on to Pakistan Muslim League N government. In the result of 522 drone attacks from 2004 to 2015 approximately 3852 causalities afforded Pakistani nation. These attacks were not decreased until November 1, 2013 when Tahreek e Taliban Pakistan chief Hakeem ullah Mehsud was killed in Abbottabad (near Islamabad). The operation has given birth to mistrust. In these type of operations innocent people lost lives. After watching the inhuman violations Imran Khan took stance on drones. He compelled Obama's administration to stopped these erroneous attempts in Khyber Pakhtun Khwa (KPK). However, Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) kept on the country violation. CIA spy Ramyon Davis killed two men in Lahore, Pakistan in January 27, 2011. Than CIA conducted Operation Neptune Spear in Abbottabad and killed Ossam Bin Ladin in May 2,2011 by spy Dr. Shakeel Afridi who had done Ossam DNA test. Shakeel was later sentence 33 years jailed. Additionally, the violations are not stopped here in November at Salala Air base an offensive attack was did on Pakistani patrolling soldiers. In incident 28 soldiers were martyred by NATO near Afghanistan border. Consequently, on public demonstration the government has issued ordered to evacuate Shamsi Air base which was using for drone attacks on tribal areas. Alongside US was insisting on Pakistan for 'do more policy' regarding Pak- India border. India is considered enemy of Pakistan from the day of independence by Pakistan's. Several skirmishes has been occurred on Kashmir issue. Despite all these issues, Bush administration signed nuclear engagement with India. In 2005 and 2008 not only Defense Agreement but also Nuclear Civil Agreement deal signed with India. Additionally $14 billion military equipment deal and granting six nuclear projects to India are the factors beyond dilapidated relationship. These deal affected bilateral relationship between Pak-US. Pakistan has changed her foreign policy under the auspices of Prime Minister Imran Khan administration. He has rejected 'do more policy' from the first day of premiership. Prime Minister Imran Khan visited United States in 2019. During a meeting with President Trump on July 21, 2019 he stressed on peace dialogue and bilateral relationship. Khan was also appreciated for his speech which he delivered in United Nations General Assembly ( UNGA). Although, Pakistan was remained in socioeconomic from 2000 but she has given many sacrifices for world peace order. The war on terror brought to Pakistan due to US mistrust and operations. In result, the country has lost billions of dollars and humans life. Pakistan images was blurred in comity of nations. US must to reviewed her policy regarding Pakistan because Pakistan has great importance in Southeast Asia. The country can play vital role in Afghan peace dialogue and settlement. On the other hand, US must show some elasticity towards Pakistan. USA should to play role as mediator on Kashmir issue. The Americans should not violate the sovereignty of Pakistan which can hurt people. Dual police ought to not be about Pakistan because this type of diplomacy can not run for long. Setting on one table is best for both countries, because geopolitics has been rotating for cold war.

GRAFTING:
This is a agricultural manner in which the plant tissues are connected so as to continue their rise collectively. The upward part of the joined plant is known as scion and on the other hand downward part is known as root stock. The progression of this combination demands that the vascular tissues should grow collectively and this type of joining is known as inosculation. This method is extensively used in asexual propagation of plants grown on large scale for horticultural and agricultural dealings. In almost all cases a plant is selected for roots called stock or root stock. And then for stems, leaves, flowers, or fruits another plant is selected known as scion. The scion plant possesses desired genes to be cloned in future yielding by means of stock-scion plant. The vascular cambium of stock and scion should be set in association with each other for fruitful grafting. Studies have shown that attachment of phloem sets up after 3 days and in case of xylem it established after 7 days of pioneer grafting. Grafting joints are not much stronger than the natural ones because only the new formed tissues will fuse with each other not the older ones.
FACTORS FOR SUCCESSFUL GRAFTING
- Compatibility for stock and scion:
As grafting happen when the vascular tissues of stock and scion connects. The plants like monocots can’t be grafted because they are deficient in vascular bundles. It is a common perceptive that more the two plants resemble with each other genetically the more the grafting will be successful. The chance of success for grafting of plants from same species is greater than the plants from different species. Sometimes the plants of same genus also show successful grafting.
- Cambium alignment and pressure:
For successful grafting you should apply firm pressure on the joint where vascular cambium of stock and scion connects so that the tissue connects with each other quickly and the orientation of the joint should be in the line of normal growth. This will enhance the swift movement of water and nutrients from root stock to scion.
- Completed during appropriate stage of plant:
The time when stock and scion of plant are able to yield callus the grafting will be completed. Temperature also effects grafting and high temperature can cease callus formation.
- Proper care of graft site:
When the grafting is done it is necessary to take good care of plant till the plant restores its health. You can use different grafting tapes and waxes to save plant from excessive water loss at the joint of stock and scion. If the plant structure is weak you should provide support to the plant by twine or string.
GRAFTING TOOLS
- Cutting tools:
You have to make sure that the cutting tools are pointed and sharp so that they will give less damage to the tissues of plant; to prevent the transmission of disease it is necessary to keep the tools clean. Cutting knife for usual grafting should have blade of 3 inches and handle of 4 inches. The knives used especially for grafting are bud-grafting knives, surgical knives, and pruning knives. If the size of stock is too large cleavers, chisels, and saws can be used to cut.
- Disinfecting tools:
Using tools treated with disinfectants will make sure that the grafting place is free from pathogens. Absolute alcohol is a standard sterilizing agent.
- Graft seals:
These seals make the grafting spot hydrated. These should be tight enough to stop excessive water loss and loose enough to assist plant growth. Specialized types of clay, wax, petroleum jelly and adhesive tapes are used as graft seals.
- Tying and support materials:
If the structure of plant is weak then it is necessary to provide support to the plant to keep scion and stock in the place. Strips, twine, nails and splints are the support materials for grafting.
- Grafting machines:
Grafting machines are available to reduce the time consumed because doing it by hand consumes a lot of time and skill. There are machines which have ability to graft 800 seedlings per hour.
TECHNIQUES
- Approach:
This method is utilized to connect plants together that are tough to graft. In this method plants are grown near to each other and both have root stocks and then joined and grow collectively from that point of joining. Each scion and stock has its own parents. This grafting will complete at any time of year.
- Bud:
Bud grafting is also known as chip budding in which a bud is used in place of twig. The most usual example of budding is rose grafting. First cut off the shoot of the stock plant then a bud is taken from the host plant; the ground surface of bud is placed under the bark of the stem of stock plant. On stock plant any bud except grafted bud which starts emerging is cut off.
- Cleft:
In this method first of all give a small cut in the stock with the help of a sharp knife and then put sharp end of scion into the stock. The best season for this type of grafting is early spring. This method is best for scion of 1cm on a stock of large diameter. First give a clean from to the downward on the stock or branch to make a cleft of 3cm. The scion should have long deep edge. Now put the scion into the cleft and push it down to the end. Now tape the scion from the upper end of the stock to keep the scion in spot and now overspread grafting wax. It helps to prevent excessive water loss.
- Whip:
In whip grafting a slanting cut is given to the stock and scion and then connected. Then the grafted end is sealed with a soft sealant to reduce water loss and attack of germs. The most usual variation is a whip and a tongue and graft it is a tough variation but the chances of success is very high as the cambium connection between scion and stock is very good. This grafting method is used in fruit trees grown on large scale. This method is commonly utilized with stock of diameter 1cm and the diameter of scion should be nearly equal to stock.
- Stub:
In this method less stock is required as compared to cleft grafting and it will possess shape of a tree. Commonly 6-8 buds of scion are used in this technique. A cut is given on the branch of length 1cm and then the scion is inserted into the branch. Scion must have an angle of 35 degree to the stock. And then it should be covered with grafting materials.
- Four-flap:
It is also known as banana graft and is usually utilized for pecans. It is declared for most cambium covering but this technique is tough. In this the diameters of the stock and scion should be of same size. Skin of the stock is striped into four flaps and the hardwood is eliminated this will look like a striped banana. This technique is very tough to learn.
- Awl:
Awl grafting consumes minimum time and resources as compared to other grafting techniques. This method is discovered accidently by an experienced grafter. In this method grafting is done by utilizing a screwdriver to give a cut in the bark not to cut the cambium layer. Then the scion is inserted into the stock.
- Veneer:
Veneer grafting is also known as inlay grafting, this technique is utilized for stock having diameter greater than 3cm and the thickness of scion should be as pencil. A cleavage is made on the stock to same size of scion then it is inserted into the cleft and covered with tape.
- Rind:
In this method a small sized scion is grafted on a thick stock. On the thick stock 4cm parallel deep cut is given to the stock and then the bark is removed from the wood. The scion is of wedge shape, cambium showing off on both side is inserted into the backside of stock, with flat face towards the wood.

Bad Bunny llegó para quedarse - El Nacional
Amado por muchos y odiado por otros. Bad Bunny se ha convertido en un fenómeno sociocultural por su meteórico ascenso al estrellato, sus polémicas letras y su estilo
Amado por muchos y odiado por otros. Los más jóvenes lo consideran el artista que redefinió la música urbana y que logró que personas de todas las edades, clases y culturas conocieran, a través de él, el alcance de reguetón. Otros, los mayores y quizá conservadores, critican sus letras, para muchos vulgares y agresivas. Bad Bunny no ha dejado indiferente a nadie. El llamado “conejo malo”, cuyo nombre real es Benito Martínez, se ha convertido en un fenómeno sociocultural por su meteórico ascenso al estrellato, sus polémicas letras y su estilo, que rompe con los paradigmas establecidos en la industria musical por su imagen y los temas que aborda en sus canciones como la violencia de género y el empoderamiento femenino. En julio, el puertorriqueño fue noticia. No fue por un nuevo y sorpresivo lanzamiento, como ocurrió en mayo cuando publicó el álbum Las que no iban a salir. En esta oportunidad, la Sociedad Americana de Compositores, Autores y Editores (Ascap, por su siglas en inglés) nombró a Bad Bunny como Compositor del año y las redes sociales estallaron. Desde críticas por parte de sus detractores hasta el apoyo incondicional de sus fans, todos tuvieron algo que comentar en un debate interminable que tuvo al intérprete de “Callaíta” como protagonista. Tras el reconocimiento de Ascap, la discusión en redes sociales se centró en los méritos que tenía Bad Bunny para recibir un premio como compositor del año: muchos alegaban que sus letras son vulgares y con una carga sexual muy pesada. La conclusión, entonces, es que los premios se habían basado en el éxito comercial del cantante más que en el contenido de sus líricas. Foto Archivo Ascap toma en consideración el número de reproducciones y visualizaciones que los artistas consiguen con sus canciones. Sin embargo, la propuesta musical de Bad Bunny va mucho más allá de eso. Para Félix Allueva, presidente de la Fundación Nuevas Bandas y promotor cultural, lo más importante, en el caso del puertorriqueño, es el crossover que ha logrado entre la música de antes, los sonidos actuales, sus letras polémicas y sus éxitos en ventas. “La música es mucho más que música cuando abordas a un artista como Bad Bunny y lo que representa su género musical. La música vista como matemática del sonido es una cosa, cómo compones, los arreglos y las letras. Pero la música también tiene un fuerte componente sociocultural. Es muy difícil abordar como crítico a un músico sin tomar en cuenta su entorno y al mismo tiempo el momento que le tocó vivir. Entonces, ¿qué es más importante: la música, el mensaje o lo comercial? Esos tres elementos los puede tener Bad Bunny, porque sus letras generan cierta polémica, su música está asociada a lo malandro, al sonido del barrio, quizá hasta monótono que algunos músicos dicen ‘no es música’ y está la parte que es netamente de la industria, que es que el tipo vende mucho. Bad Bunny es la combinación de todos estos elementos”, explica. Para Yumber Vera, periodista cultural venezolano afincado en Argentina, se trata de un tema de prejuicios hacia la música urbana latinoamericana. “Cae el peso de que se valora más el éxito comercial que la calidad; sin embargo, la pregunta es qué es calidad. La calidad no necesariamente implica algo bueno, implica hacer algo correcto lo que carece a veces de sentimiento (…) Me parece que hay bastante envidia con muchos artistas que vienen de los sectores populares que hicieron un espacio a contracorriente de lo que establecía la industria musical, entonces se les rechaza porque generaron un lugar nuevo dentro de las escenas musicales”, comenta. Vera explica que, lógicamente, la industria musical intenta hallar un equilibrio entre el éxito comercial y la calidad. Sin embargo, las redes sociales han tomado un rol importante, al punto de que la propia industria perdió la posibilidad de determinar o imponer el gusto. “Básicamente, es como una mezcla de cosas, de buscar el equilibrio pero, al mismo tiempo, buscar la complacencia y otro rasgo más que es el ataque, digamos, del establishment o de figuras anacrónicas que ya no tienen ni siquiera participación en la música con respecto a artistas que calan en el gusto popular”. Bad Bunny no fue el único artista urbano o latino reconocido: Romeo Santos (Compositor y Artista del Año) y Daddy Yankee (Canción del Año por “Con calma”) lo acompañaron. Sin embargo, el que protagonizó la polémica fue el intérprete de “Safaera”, pese a que los tres pertenecen a la misma tribu urbana, aunque con marcadas diferencias. Coinciden Vera y Allueva que es más fácil atacar a un artista joven. “Bad Bunny le canta a su generación, a chicos veinteañeros y eso es muy potente. Creen que atacarlo es más fácil porque es joven, y eso tiene que ver con una manera latinoamericana, bastante vieja, de ver las cosas, piensan que por ser adolescente no te puedes defender y eres vulnerable. Pero es todo lo contrario, puedes ser mucho más efectivo en el ataque que cualquier otro”, afirma el periodista. Las críticas también surgieron de un pequeño grupo de artistas entre los que estaban las cantantes venezolanas Karina y Kiara, quienes consideran que Bad Bunny no tiene méritos como compositor. Allueva explica que sus comentarios se deben a un prejuicio histórico: “Ellas dos corresponden a nivel de concepto musical de otras épocas y posiblemente hacen análisis de la música actual con parámetros correspondientes a otras décadas. Ojo, no es bueno ni malo, es algo que pasa y todos estamos afectados por eso, son muy pocos los que logran romper con eso y tener unas barreras de apertura mental a los nuevos géneros”. Bad Bunny es mucho más que sus letras explícitas. Con cuatro discos en su haber: X100pre (2018), Oasis -con J Balvin- (2019), YHLQMDLG (2020) y Las que no iban a salir (2020), el cantante de 26 años de edad se convirtió en el portavoz de una generación con sus temas irreverentes, subidos de tono y que reflejan la época que le tocó vivir. “Es uno de los mejores artistas paridos en América Latina en al menos los últimos cinco años. Me parece que supo entender su tiempo, supo tomar expresiones anglosajonas para tratar de traducirlas a la idiosincrasia latinoamericana”, dice Vera. Desde el lanzamiento de su disco debut, X100pre, la carrera artística de Bad Bunny no ha dejado de crecer. Este álbum le valió un Latin Grammy como Mejor Álbum Urbano. En febrero de este año hizo historia con YHLQMDLG, con el que batió récords en ventas, con 179.000 copias vendidas en Estados Unidos en su primera semana. Un par de meses después, en mayo, Bad Bunny se convirtió en el primer artista urbano latino en aparecer en la portada de la emblemática revista Rolling Stone. En esa misma fecha, el puertorriqueño también sorprendió con el lanzamiento de su álbum sorpresa, Las que no iban a salir, a solo tres meses del estreno del disco que lo consolidó como máximo referente del género urbano en el mundo. Más tarde, en julio, se convirtió el primer hombre en aparecer en la revista Playboy, protagonizando la portada de su versión digital. View this post on Instagram los que aun no entienden, algún día lo harán el chamaquito de Vega Baja, Puerto Rico, el bobito que trabajaBA en el supermercado, el nene de Tito y Lysaurie, ese mismo, en la portada de @rollingstone A mi nadie, nadie, nadie, nadie pero nadie, me puede decir que puedo o no puedo hacer, YO HAGO LO QUE ME DA LA GANA!! Y desde niño, me dieron ganas de ser grande, me dieron ganas de perseguir y trabajar por mis sueños. GRACIAS A TODO EL QUE CREYÓ, A LOS QUE CREEN, Y A LOS QUE ALGÚN DÍA CREERAN! A post shared by @ badbunnypr on May 14, 2020 at 10:14am PDT Un hito histórico en el que participó Bad Bunny, junto con sus compatriotas Ricky Martin y Residente, ocurrió en julio del año pasado y fue la renuncia del exgobernador de Puerto Rico, Ricardo Roselló. “Ellos lograron algo que ninguno de esos músicos pop que lo están criticando pudieron conseguir, que fue un golpe de Estado. Tres artistas puertorriqueños salieron a manifestar y que la gente los acompañara por su alcance popular es importante”, destaca Vera. Sobre el prejuicio en torno al reguetón, que muchos mantienen actualmente, Félix Allueva asegura que ocurre lo mismo que pasó con otros géneros como el blues o la salsa: al principio eran menospreciados por sus orígenes, pero con el pasar del tiempo fueron aceptados. “El tiempo va poniendo las cosas en su lugar y lo que va a suceder con la música urbana, que ya está sucediendo, es que no será tan rechazada como hace cinco años atrás y que cada vez forma parte de nuestra cultura cotidiana”, afirma el promotor cultural. “Me sigue sorprendiendo que la gente todavía cuestione el valor del reguetón y que lo sigan atacando y demonizando. Si hay un género que ha sido flexible a la evolución de la música, al menos en la última década, ha sido el reguetón. Por eso ha tenido la capacidad de sobrevivir. Ha sabido adaptarse a las circunstancias”, afirma Yumber Vera. Foto Playboy En ese sentido, la música urbana o el reguetón no va a desaparecer. “El reguetón acota Vera- desde que nació, vino para quedarse, no va a desaparecer, así como sucede con todos los géneros musicales; lo que puede acontecer es que pueda tener una época apoteósica y otra decadente, pero los géneros musicales nunca desaparecen”. La música evoluciona, así como las letras y sus exponentes. Y Bad Bunny no será la excepción. “No soy partidario de las letras sexistas ni de la violencia de género. Entiendo que los géneros evolucionan y que así como la salsa tenía una letra muy fuerte, que progresivamente se fue adaptando, cambiando e incluyendo mejores líricas, así también pasará con el género urbano”, indica Allueva. El mensaje de la industria y de los premios Ascap es claro: entendieron que la música cambió, tanto en composición como a nivel de ejecución, que Bad Bunny llegó para quedarse y que tiene todo mérito como artista. “Es uno de los artistas más importantes de la nueva oleada de la música latina (…) Creo que Bad Bunny tiene su peso artístico por muchos factores: su manera de componer, de cantar, como integra la actualidad, la cotidianidad de su pueblo con todo lo que son las nuevas tecnologías y la nueva música, finaliza Allueva.
El mayor propietario de plataformas petroleras del mundo se declara en bancarrota - RT en Español
La administración de la empresa Valaris estima que el coronavirus exacerbó la prolongada crisis en el sector.
El contratista de perforación petrolera en el mar Valaris, con sede en Londres (Reino Unido) se ha declarado en bancarrota en Estados Unidos y ofrece a los acreedores intercambiar alrededor de 6.500 millones de dólares del monto de su deuda por 7.800 millones en acciones. La empresa es el mayor propietario de plataformas petrolíferas flotantes del mundo y su futuro ahora está en manos de la corte de quiebras de Houston, Texas, según informó este jueves el periódico The Wall Street Journal. La compañía ha tenido suerte, puesto que aproximadamente la mitad de los propietarios de sus bonos han aceptado el acuerdo propuesto, permitiendo liquidar la mayor parte de la deuda corporativa. No es la primera compañía del sector en recurrir al poder judicial para mantenerse a flote. Diamond Offshore Drilling y Noble han pasado por esta clase de procedimientos de salvataje y el diario señala la actual crisis sanitaria como una posible causa de los problemas que vive el segmento de perforación, tal y como lo hizo el presidente y gerente ejecutivo de Valaris, Tom Burke. "La recesión sustancial en el sector energético, exacerbada por la pandemia del covid-19, requiere que demos este paso para crear una empresa más sólida, capaz de adaptarse a la contracción prolongada en la industria y seguir mejorando nuestra posición a medida que mejoren las condiciones generales en el mercado", afirmó el empresario, cuyas palabras recoge un comunicado de prensa. Mientras tanto, la buena noticia para los titulares de bonos se vuelve un desastre para los accionistas, dado que la compañía pretende, dentro de su plan de reestructuración, hacer desaparecer las acciones actuales, destaca el sitio web Oilprice.com. Lo mejor que podrían esperar los accionistas de Valaris son las garantías para acciones futuras. Sin embargo, unos inversores ya se han proclamado dispuestos a prestarle 500 millones de dólares. Valaris pertenece a varios grupos administradores de activos, incluidos Luminus Management, BlackRock y Vanguard Group, y presta sus servicios a las petroleras de mayor importancia para la economía global, como Total, BP, Saudi Aramco y Petrobras. Puesto que los efectos de la pandemia y la caída del precio del petróleo perduran, varios analistas prevén muchas más quiebras en el futuro, ya que la demanda de perforación en alta mar es muy ajustada y los recortes de las petroleras afectan la costosa perforación en alta mar.
