Helene Fischer: Secret behind her songs revealed!
Helene Fischer: Kristina Bach made her a superstar with “Atemlos” Schlager fans can sing along to the songs of her in rows: Helene Fischer (38) has been sitting unchallenged on the pop throne for years with her more than 17 million records sold. In November 2013, her song “Atemlos durch die Nacht” was released and quickly became a million-seller in Germany. With 1 million units sold, the track has already secured diamond status in Germany – unbelievable! However, anyone who thinks that the song comes solely from Helene Fischer is sorely mistaken. In fact, the pop singer had nothing to do with the composition. Instead, it was singer Kristina Bach (61) who put the hit on paper. Actually, she wrote the title for her own album, but when Fischer asked her for a song, the singer-songwriter changed her mind. A few years ago, Bach revealed to the “tz” how quickly “Atemlos” was finished: The composition lasted two minutes. It took me a day to complete the line. And for the entire text, then a maximum of one week. Although that’s a lot for me, actually I can do a text in one day or even in three hours. At the beginning, the singer didn’t expect the track to be so successful: “‘Atemlos’ seems to have hit the zeitgeist. The song has taken on a life of its own like a train that rolls inexorably, and that happens maybe once every ten years.” Helene Fischer: With Tim Peters’ song, she just won gold status In addition to “Atemlos”, Kristina Bach also wrote the song “Flieger” for Helene Fischer, which was also well received by her fans. On the current album of the pop star, however, another songwriter has immortalized himself. He is fellow pop singer Tim Peters (33). He wrote the song “Null auf 100” for Helene. It reached gold status just a few weeks ago. On Instagram, the producer and composer celebrated this success with a small video: After this little clip there is immediately a demand from the fans: They want a duet of Helene and Tim! Whether this will happen at some point remains to be seen! Sources used: Instagram
Manganiello and Sofía Vergara denounces each as couples
Actors Sofía Vergara and Joe Manganiello have gone their separate ways after seven years of being together as couples. Apexnewsgh.com report The statement released by the two says: “We have made the difficult decision to divorce. As two people that love and care for one another very much, we politely ask for respect of our privacy at this time as we navigate this new phase of our lives,” the statement reads. “Sofía and Joe have been growing apart for a while now and are taking some distance from each other to contemplate their future.” Vergara in a picture sighted by the platform on the Instagram photo dumps is currently celebrating her 51st birthday anniversary with an Italian vacation without her husband Manganiello and even without putting on her wedding ring. In another post from her trip, Vergara wrote in her caption, “When life gives u lemons u come to Italy to squeeze them,” seeming to allude to recent personal difficulties. For his part, Manganiello’s most recent post on Instagram was an illustration showing his support of the actors’ and writers’ strikes. Last week, he posted a simple birthday wish for Vergara alongside a grainy photo of a past birthday celebration, before the news of the couple’s split had been made public. Manganiello revealed that for their first wedding anniversary in 2017, he wrote a 40-page account of their love story, from courtship to wedding, and bound it into a book for her as a gift. Their wedding the year before boasted some 400 guests, and Manganiello serenaded Vergara with Guns N Roses’ “Sweet Child O’ Mine” at their rehearsal dinner. Vergara, too, publicly gushed about Manganiello, telling Ellen Degeneres ahead of their second anniversary that she was “very lucky.” “I must have done something really, really right in my life to get that reward,” she said. “I’m good, but not a very, very good person. I’m good, but he’s better than me.” Source: Apexnewsgh.com/Ghana For publication please kindly contact us on +233256336062 or Email apexnewsgh@gmail.com
Strengthening human resources and coordination in regional governments
According to information from the Senior Public Management, based on data from the Budget Directorate (DIPRES), Chile has a staff of 453,154 public officials who work in various centralized, decentralized and decentralized services. This represents 11.9% of total employment in the country, below the OECD average of 21% and around the average for Latin America and the Caribbean. Of this total, 36.7 per cent of civil servants work in the Metropolitan Region and 63.3 per cent in the rest of the regions. Of these, in the 345 municipalities 52,868 workers work as staff and contractors, not counting officials who do so as fees financed by external programs or with municipal financing, which in its totality exceeds 57,000 workers. On the other hand, the civil servants who work in the 16 regional governments of Chile do not exceed 2,003 people, which is equivalent to 0.44% of the total public sector workers in the country. This first approximation makes it clear that most public officials work in centralized, decentralized institutions and municipalities. As a result, with the meagre 0.44 per cent of civil servants working in regional governments, progress in decentralization, political, fiscal and administrative matters at the regional level is difficult. This is very important to note given that, at present, regional governments perform three essential functions, two of which have been performed since the beginning of the century. The first relates to planning regional development and, the second, to financing projects for that purpose. With the new law on the transfer of competences, a third function appears, which is related to the capacity to formulate programmes and the coordination of decentralized public services. As a result of the fact that the largest number of public servants are not in regional governments, their capacity to formulate and control the resources transferred to public services is reduced. Therefore, and given that the percentage of public employment in relation to total employment in Chile is below the OECD average, this indicates that it is necessary to strengthen regional governments in their different functions. Given the current institutional context in Chile, it is essential to strengthen with human resources the coordination capacity of regional governments with decentralized public services. Or what we might call the coordination capacity of the government of the region with the government in the region. As I have said in other columns, it is too important for regional governments to have human resources that guarantee the ability to coordinate decentralized public services, which have a large volume of public investment in regions. For example, of the total of 100 pesos that are invested in a region, between 85 to 90 come from funds from decentralized institutions between 10 to 15 pesos come from the regional government and between 0 to 2 pesos from municipal funds. Currently, the regional government is not the institution that coordinates the decentralized public services that invest in regions between 85 and 90% of public resources, but the central government does so through its respective regional presidential delegate. At present, the law is not sufficiently clear in establishing that coordination with this type of services is part of the attributions and competences of regional governors, without a programming agreement or other specific planning instrument that links the region with a ministry. In short, the difficulty seems to be in how to guarantee, through human resources and legislative tools, the capacity of regional governments to coordinate decentralized public services in the territory. After finding this consensus, human capital must be strengthened and formal and legal coordination mechanisms established in favor of one or another level of government, whether regional or national in the territory. Once this substantive discussion has been dissipated and regional capacities developed, progress can be made much more solidly in transferring competences or even all decentralized public services to regional governments. elpais.com

Dr. Bawumia’s Campaign team refutes Islamic funding support
The Vice President’s Spokesperson and Bawumia Campaign Team has refuted claims that Ghana vice president’s flag bearer campaign is being bankkrolled by ACF, an Islamic group in Nigeria. Dr. Gideon Boako writes: Allegations of Islamic Funding for the Bawumia Campaign is False The attention of the Bawumia Campaign Team has been drawn to a post by one David Humdeyin, a journalist in Nigeria, that the Bawumia Campaign is being funded by some Islamic group in Nigeria called the ACF. We notice that the same narrative has been copied by some persons and groups in Ghana on social media. This narrative is obviously false, fabricated, and only serves the propaganda purposes of its promoters. For the avoidance of doubt, the Bawumia Campaign has no funding or any linkage with any Islamic group in Nigeria or anywhere else. We also note that the said David Humdeyin has demonstrated a penchant for making similar claims against some persons and groups in Nigeria without any basis whatsoever The Bawumia Campaign is focused and will not be distracted by such vain untruths. The Vice President, Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia has been very diligent and transparent from his days as a scholar, banker, and politician throughout his life and will not depart from these now and forever.
