“Hilarie got in her car when she found out my husband had passed and drovestraight to my house overnight,” she said as she appeared Friday on the 1on1with Jon Evans podcast. “She showed up on my door, and she was like, ‘Okay,what can I do?’

“And she sat with me, and she was just, once again, showing me what a specialhuman she is. Her intention for being there was just to help in any waypossible. It wasn’t, ‘Look at how good I am .Look at what I’m doing for you.’And I’m just eternally grateful,” Prince added.

The actress recalled that the day Friend died over July 4 weekend as “like anyother day that we’ve done a million times,” adding: “The storm was far away,we’re on the boat, everything’s fine. And then in an instant… everything haschanged. There’s no normal, and there’s no playbook for it.”

Friend, who was CEO of digital media company Bisnow at the time, waspronounced dead after he was struck by lightning during a family boat outingon Sunday, July 3. Although Prince was not on the boat at the time, they werefortunately next to a boat with a nurse onboard, and a police boat was passingby.

“In my mind, there was absolutely nothing that could have been done. And Ihave to accept that this is larger than me and my understanding at this time,”Prince said.

After her husband was moved to the police boat, first responders beganadministering aid until he was transported to a nearby hospital. “So, we hadtwo hours that we were unsure of what his fate was, and that was awful,”Prince recalled.

At his celebration of life, which took place the next weekend on his birthday,friends showed up from all over the world, and Prince noted that Friend was”the most fiercely loyal person I have ever met in my life.”

“I learned so much from him by watching how he treats people and how he showsup for them,” she said. “And every single person was there to show up for himand me. So, you just gotta get up.”

Prince said speaking at the ceremony was difficult, but she “felt, in mybones, Will holding me up.” She added that she continues to feel an undeniablespiritual connection to her husband, whom she married in May 2016.

“I know that he can hear me, and I can feel him. There have been way too manythings that have happened that are just divine, and I know he’s there. It’snot a question,” Prince said, adding that he’s “played pranks on me. I knowhe’s trying to get me to expand even quicker.”

Prince explained when she realized that Friend’s death was “so much biggerthan me,” she was able to process the loss.

“Right before he was struck, he looked at my father … he lit a cigar and hesaid, ‘Mike, well if we get struck by lightning, this is a good place to be.This is where I want to be. ‘ And then it happened,” she explained. “That, tome, really allows me the ability to process a little bit more that this is somuch bigger than me, that it wasn’t coincidence and also, nothing could have

A red carpet was recently closed because his (young) fans got too wild withhim. Timothée Chalamet has become a phenomenon in just a few years. Teen idolsoften choose charming and safe roles, but the actor is in his new movie Bonesand All look like a cannibal. He thinks outside the box and that’s part ofhis appeal.

Chalamet die zijn tanden zet in de huid van zijn net om het leven gebrachteslachtoffer, zijn gezicht onder het bloed. Het is niet direct het beeld dat jeverwacht bij een acteur die harten op hol brengt. De zwervende kannibaal dieop het randje van de samenleving leeft in Bones and All is misschien welChalamets rauwste rol tot nu toe. Maar prinsachtige personages in voorspelbareromantische comedy’s stonden al nooit op zijn radar.

De nu 26-jarige acteur is al vroeg in zijn tienerjaren op televisie en hetwitte doek te bewonderen, met rollen in Homeland en Interstellar. Zijngrote doorbraak volgt in 2017 met de hoofdrol in het romantische drama CallMe By Your Name. Chalamet speelt Elio, een zeventienjarige student dieverliefd wordt op de acht jaar oudere onderzoeksassistent van zijn vader. Metzijn rol wordt Chamalet als een van de jongste acteurs ooit genomineerd vooreen Oscar. De film groeit uit tot een klassieker en maakt van de acteur eenfenomeen.

Na zo’n doorbraak ligt het in de lijn der verwachting dat Chalamet daarna inblockbusters verschijnt. Toch kiest hij een ander pad. De acteur gaat over hetalgemeen voor kleinere filmproducties en heeft er totaal geen moeite mee omeen bijrol te spelen. Zo is hij te zien naast Saoirse Ronan in Lady Bird en_Little Women_ van regisseur Greta Gerwig. Ook speelde hij kleinere rollen infilms als A Rainy Day in New York (Woody Allen) en The French Dispatch(Wes Anderson). In de Netflix-film Don ‘t Look Up met Jennifer Lawrence enLeonardo DiCaprio verschijnt Chalamet pas ver in de tweede helft van de filmvoor het eerst.

Chalamet wants to try everything

His first starring role since Call Me By Your Name plays Chalamet BeautifulBoy. Again he does not choose an obvious role: a son addicted to hard drugswho drives his father (played by Steve Carell) to despair. “To keep thecreative ball rolling, you have to remain ignorant to some extent about theway the audience perceives you,” he says of the roles he chooses and how hefills them. “It’s a combination of luck and getting good advice early in mycareer so I didn’t get pigeonholed.”

After several smaller projects, the actor still opts for a blockbuster in2021: Dune. He takes on the role of Paul Atreides in the film adaptation ofthe 1960s book about the battle between powerful families in space. Part twoof the well-received film will be released next year, again with Chalamet.

In 2023 he can also be seen in cinemas as chocolatier Willy Wonka in Wonka,_about the young years of the character from the book _Charlie and theChocolate Factory. Expectations for the film, in which Chalamet can be seensinging and dancing for the first time, are high. Wonka is made with_Paddington_ director Paul King at the helm.

In any case, the film will be a stark contrast to the gray Bones and All_from _Call Me By Your Name director Luca Guadagnino, which is now intheaters. Why did Chalamet grab the cannibal role with both hands? “It got meexcited because it’s so different from the first movie I did with Luca,” hesays. variety. “The foundation of the character was already there, but therewas still a lack of direction.” Guadagnino encouraged Chalamet to flesh outthe character with screenwriter David Kajganich. And with this film, the actoris also connected as a producer for the first time.

Chalamet likes to keep his career in check. He carefully chooses how hepresents himself to the public, not being guided by the biggest salary or themost screen time. “An artist’s dream is to try everything, you know?” says theactor, who tries to live as normal a life as possible outside the film set anddoes not express himself in interviews about, for example, his love life. “Inow realize that you can lead a boring private life, while your life as anartist is extraordinary.”

Hablamos del régimen de tutela masculina. F., casada, propietaria de unatienda de vestidos de novia, responde: “Podemos elegir, pero necesitamos suaprobación porque no queremos apenarlos, queremos verlos felices, orgullososde nosotras. Nuestros padres y nuestros maridos saben lo que nos conviene,quieren lo mejor para nosotras”. E. añade: “Claro, es que ellos tienen másexperiencia. Pedimos esa aprobación porque queremos. Todo se dialoga y hay unaconfianza mutua. Por ejemplo, a nosotras nos cuesta mucho entender que, enEuropa, si una chica tiene novio deje a su familia sin más”. “Es que no me lopuedo ni imaginar”, replica F.

Prueba de virginidad

La sharia (ley islámica) prohíbe and qatar el sexo fuera del matrimonio.Cuando la mexicana Paola Schietekat acudió en junio de 2021 a la policíacatarí para denunciar que un hombre la había atacado en su habitación mientrasdormía, terminó acusada de mantener una relación extramarital porque elagresor, que quedó libre, dijo que eran novios. La abogada local que leasignaron le recomendó “casarse con él” para evitar problemas y en uninterrogatorio de tres horas —a ella— le plantearon que se hiciera una pruebade virginidad. Paola logró salir del país —”nunca había respirado con másalivio que cuando me sellaron el pasaporte”—, pero el caso —contra ella, nuncacontra él— no se cerró hasta el pasado abril. Al teléfono desde México,explica que había llegado a Qatar en 2020 muy ilusionada para trabajar comoeconomista en el commissie organizador del Mundial. “Era el trabajo de missueños. Hablo arabe y me encanta el fútbol. Pensé que podía ayudar a cambiarlas cosas desde dentro”. Quiso denunciar a su agresor en Qatar porque cuandosu primer novio la violó cuando tenía 16 años no se había atrevido. El sueñose convirtió en pesadilla.

Hoy, con 28 años, aún sufre las secuelas de aquel terrible episodio: “Hetrabajado muchísimo en recuperarme, voy a terapia, pero sigo teniendo quemedicarme para poder dormir y todo esto ha afectado a la confianza hacia otraspersonas”. No era la primera y mañana puede volver a ocurrir. En 2016, unaturista de los Países Bajos fue condenada a un año de cárcel ya una multa trassufrir una violación. Las autoridades de su país lograron rebajar el castigopor haber sido violada a tres meses de prisión.

Es la interpretación más rigurosa del islam la que impide en estos casosconcebir que la agredida es la víctima, aunque el Código Penal de Qatarestablece penas de 15 años para quien fuerce a una mujer “a cometeradulterio”. Pero F. y E. no temen la sharia , sino todo lo contrario. “Lareligión es como un gran paraguas que te protege y en nuestro país,además, esla ley. Eso implica que desde pequeños nos enseñan como debemos comportarnos,cuál debe ser nuestra manera de estar en el mundo y estamos muy agradecidaspor ello”, dice F. “El islam hace nuestra vida más fácil en todos los aspectosporque es una referencia sólida y común. Es un alivio saber que a tu alrededortodos se rigen por tus mismos valores. Eso es la sharia. Y dependiendo de loque hagas, hay una recompensa o un castigo. ¿Por qué el testimonio de unhombre vale más en un juicio? Porque los hombres no tienen nuestrasensibilidad y hormonas. No es un asunto de igualdad, sino de justicia. ¿Y porqué heredan más dinero? Porque ellos tienen que atender a todas las mujeresque hay en sus vidas. Todo tiene un sentido”, abunda E.

Ambas se muestran preocupadas por las nuevas generaciones de cataries. “Tienenmás presión porque reciben muchos impactos externos. El mundo está abiertogracias a internet y los padres cada vez tienen más dificultades paracontrolar lo que piensan sus hijos. Deben ser conscientes del peligro”, afirmaF.

Dosmujeres esperan que acabe el partido de inauguracion del Mundial entre Qatar yEcuador a las afueras del estadio Al Bayt, en Doha.Jaime Villanueva

Qatar ocupa el puesto 137 en el índice de Brecha Global de Género del ForoEconómico Mundial, que mide la desigualdad en términos de salud, educación,economía e indicadores políticos. Los arabistas españoles Ignacio Álvarez-Ossorio e Ignacio Gutiérrez de Terán explican en su libro Qatar, la perla delGolfo que en parametros europeos “resulta ciertamente deficiente”, pero si secompara con “otras petromonarquías”, el emirato ascendería “a los primeroslugares”.

Primeras voces feministas

Un 51% de las mujeres dispone de empleo en Qatar, la mayor parte, en el sectorpúblico, aunque cobran menos que los hombres en el mismo desempeño. Ellas sonmayoría and las universidades del emirato. Muchos hombres van a estudiar fueray ellas necesitan el permiso de su padre para hacerlo. Amal Mohammed Al-Malkiconvenció al suyo y hoy es decana de la Facultad de Humanidades de laUniversidad Hamad Khalifa. Se presenta así: “Soy madre, mujer, catarí,musulmana, árabe, profesora y feminista”. Tras pasar unos años formándose enLondres, regresó a su país, abrió un blog y actualmente tiene un podcast,Mujeres de Oriente Medio donde entrevista a otras feministas arabes.

Al-Malki rechaza el sistema de tutela y en sus charlas suele repetir que esetipo de normas no tienen que ver con la religión, sino con una interpretación“patriarcal” del Islam. Está convencida de que la educación es “la granpalanca de cambio” y que el activismo debe hacerse desde dentro para cambiarno solo leyes, sino también mentes y actitudes. La cultura, explica, nunca esalgo estático. Y no debe ser la excusa para impedir que las mujeresdesarrolles todo su potencial. En 2012, con el jefe del departamento de Inglésde la facultad, publicó el libro Mujeres árabes en las noticias árabes,viejos estereotipos y nuevos medios , donde comprobaron su invisibilidad enla prensa. En uno de sus últimos podcast, la académica entrevistó a lacantante catarí Aisha, una de las voces de la canción oficial del Mundial. “Alprincipio yo misma veía imposible seguir este camino por todas lasdificultades que sabía que me iba a encontrar. Y en mi círculo cercano, mifamilia, aunque había mucho amor, les costó procesarlo, les parecía muyextraño. Tuve que aceptar que iba a perder gente, comodidad… Sabía que alestar en el foco iba a recibir comentarios, odio… que no todos iban a aprobarlo que estaba haciendo. Y tuve que hacerme fuerte. Puede parecer que es solouna canción, pero son cinco años de proceso de todo esto. Ahora soy yo misma ycreo que cuanto más soy yo misma, más ayudo a otras a que lo sean”, explica enel programa.

Cada cosa que hago depende de un hombre>> Asma, 40 anos

Tras entrevistar a 50 mujeres residentes en Qatar y analizar 27 de sus leyes,Human Rights Watch publicó en 2021 un exhaustivo informe de 103 páginas sobrela discriminación en el emirato. “Cada cosa que hago depende de un hombre”,explicaba Asma, de 40 años. “Cuando cumplí los 17, un primo mío —en Qatar sonhabituales los matrimonios entre familiares — pidió mi mano. Me dijo que élviviría en EE UU por trabajo. Y yo no lo vi como un matrimonio, sino como unaoportunidad de escapar”, relata. Se casó pensando que así se liberaría de latutela paterna, pero cayó en la de su marido, que la maltrató y restringió aúnmás sus movimientos. Dana, de 20 años, explica en el informe que tuvo quementir, decir que estaba casada y dar el nombre y número de un amigo como sifuera su marido para que la trataran de forma urgente de endometriosis: “Senegaban a hacerme una prueba medica por no estar casada”. Ghada, the 48,abundaba en la discrimination en caso de divorcio: “No podía casarme de nuevoporque perdería la custodia de mi hija”. El informe concluía con mediocentenar de recomendaciones que HRW remitió por carta a las autoridades deQatar. The momento, sin mucho efecto.

El emirato es una monarquía absoluta, donde no están permitidos los partidospoliticos. El poder ejecutivo corresponde al emir y al Consejo de ministros,donde hay 15 hombres y tres mujeres (ocupan las carteras de Sanidad, Educacióny Familia). EAM recuerda el dato en el desayuno con EL PAÍS: “Hay tres mujeresgobernando. Pero no tenemos que trabajar si no queremos. No tenemos nada quedemostrar. Es como lo de conducir. Se exagera en los medios que no se permitahacerlo a las mujeres —Arabia Saudí levantó la prohibición en 2018— o quenecesiten la aprobación de su marido para obtener el carné —así era en Qatarhasta 2020— como una forma de atacar nuestra cultura y derribar la unidad dela familia. Yo tengo un conductor que me lleva. Y no pasa nada”. Al igual quesu amiga, E. es licenciada en informática.

What if, as a Parkinson’s patient, you hear a success story about an operationthat can significantly reduce your symptoms, but that doesn’t seem to workthat way for you? It happened to Ger Geurts, who contracted the disease afteryears of working in roses.

Like more and more people, Parkinson’s patient Ger Geurts underwent the so-called Deep Brain Stimulation operation. A brain operation against thecomplaints he experienced due to Parkinson’s disease. Success stories receiveda lot of attention, including those of singer and presenter Ernst Daniël Smid.The operation turned out to work very well for him. But unfortunately itturned out differently for Ger, just like with other people. He tells hisstory.

Fail

“I can’t get any worse, I can only win,” says Parkinson’s patient Ger Geurtsin the podcast Do I get Parkinson’s? from EenVandaag reporter Laura Korsbefore undergoing surgery. He gives his life an unsatisfactory at that point.Too often he has to deal with the off-moments characteristic of PwPs. Thoseare times when his body feels restless and annoying and he can’t concentrateon normal daily activities.

Medication helps to suppress those moments, but if the disease worsens, thereis a moment when another increase in the dose is no longer possible. Thedamage to other organs would then become too great and there is a risk ofanother nasty side effect: hypermobility. In addition, the body makes grossuncontrollable movements with the arms and legs. “That looks very strange,”says Geurts. The operation can then offer solace.

What is Deep Brain Stimulation Surgery?

Electrodes are placed in the brain through two holes drilled in the skull.They are in contact with a box via subcutaneous cables behind the ears. Thatbox is also under the skin, just below the collarbone. From that box,electrical currents are sent to the brain, which reduces Parkinson’s symptoms.

‘Can do everything again’

Patient experiences vary widely. For singer and presenter Ernst Daniël Smid,the result of the brain operation was extremely positive. In the talk show OP1he said that he could do everything again, after he could no longer even dresshimself. Now he can sing, write and type again.

But Geurts’ experience is less positive, as the podcast shows. The more thansufficient that he hoped to be able to give his life after the operation hasnot materialized. “You have a DBS operation applied and then you think: afterthat it will go like a train again. But then it is a bit disappointing indeed.

Positive stories such as those of Smid create great expectations among otherpatients, brands and practitioners in practice. The nurse who assists Geurtsmust always temper the expectations of people who hope for an equally bigchange. And that is a tedious task.

Effects are not so great for everyone

After the interview with the singer, Parkinson’s expert Bas Bloem alsoreceives many more requests from people who also want the DBS operation andexpect a lot from it. “Of course you notice that, if such a celebrity,especially Ernst Daniël Smid, is larger than life , that shouts on TV. ” Healso has to temper expectations, because the effects are not so great foreveryone.

“We are now talking about DBS, but it has also been the case with cannabis.After a positive story about it on TV, I received all sorts of questions aboutit in my treatment room,” says Bloem. “In a broader sense you can say; peopleare desperate and cling to everything. I even see people who take out amortgage on their house because a Chinese miracle doctor offers stem cells,while there is zero point zero scientific evidence for this.”

Depressed by disappointing results

Psychiatrist Odile van den Heuvel recognizes the story. “Two years ago therewas also a TV broadcast about this operation, in which only a positive storywas told. People then think it is a panacea.” But she then sees theconsequences in the treatment room.

Some people become seriously depressed because the results are disappointing.”People who respond well to DBS surgery are put back in time 10 years, and cando a lot again. For others, the gain is more subtle. The variation in effectis large with almost every treatment in medicine.” According to Van denHeuvel, neurologists should therefore paint a nuanced picture of the expectedeffects.

‘The hope is still there’

Geurts remains hopeful that his situation will improve after all. “They giveit 3 to 12 months for all the settings to be optimal and every person isdifferent.” Geurts would love to play golf again, but whether that will workis the question. The operation has not brought him what he hoped so far. “Notyet, but it can still come. The hope is still there,” he says.

He would like his life to be a seven. “But I now keep it at a small 6.5. Afterthe operation you think: they turn on that box, and together with themedication, you go like a train again. But that is not the case.”
