This May 1, 2024 marks the 30th anniversary of the death of Ayrton SennaFor many, the best driver of all time. The 1994 San Marino GP, at the Enzo e Dino Ferrari circuit, will forever be marked as one of the most tragic in the history of F1. Because it was a weekend marked by major accidents, starting on Friday itself.
During free practice, Rubens Barrichello suffered a shocking accident on the Bassa Variation, at about 225 km/h. He lost control of the Jordan-Hart he was driving after hitting a curb and crashed violently. The Jordan went airborne, hit the tire wall and landed on its side. The F1 world held its breath at the serious incident, and even the Brazilian himself later said in an interview with motorsport.com that he was “dead for six minutes.” Rubens also claimed that he swallowed his tongue on impact and that it caused memory loss for a month. Fortunately, the brutal impact resulted in a much more benign diagnosis than the images offered: a dislocation of a rib and a small fracture in his nose.
The next day, April 30, Saturday, the most tragic weekend in the history of F1 experienced its first unfortunate episode. In the qualifying session, the Austrian Roland Ratzenberger went out to fight against the clock and destiny aboard the Simtek S94-Ford. At 300 km/h his car lost its front wing, believed to have been due to a collision with David Brabham. As a consequence, the Simtek lost adhesion and He went straight to hit the wall at the Villeneuve curve, reaching the Tosa variant with the Austrian inert. and already deceased, due to a fracture of the base of the skull, inside the car. Nothing could be done to save his life.
On Sunday, May 1, the tragedy continued. And it is the most remembered day of the infamous weekend. The serious and worried face of Ayrton Senna before taking the start with his Williams did not suggest the tragedy that was looming just seven laps after the traffic light went out. It was his first season with that Williams Renault, a work of engineering that was also not easy to tame. But the Brazilian, after his three world titles with McLaren, decided to accept the challenge. 1994 did not start as Sao Paulo expected, with three abandonments in the first two races, in Brazil and the Pacific GP in Japan.
The Ímola event was almost crucial for the Brazilian’s aspirations, uncomfortable with a car that he was not capable of taming. After his departure, he almost experienced another tragedy after a collision when the traffic light went out. He took out the safety car and retired on lap six. In the seventh, Senna headed into Tamburello, a curve that will remain forever in the memory. The turn was, and is, although now with a chicane to reduce speed, left, very long and very fast.. The Brazilian’s Williams did not turn as it should and He went straight to the wall. The speed was over 300 km/h and the subsequent investigation reports concluded that Senna hit the wall, almost head-on, at 218 km/h. km/h. The right front wheel detached and hit the pilot, while one of the suspension bars went through his helmet, causing skull fractures with loss of brain mass. The assistance that performed a tracheotomy almost with live television cameras, in front of an audience that was watching the death of a legend who would later become even more so, could do little.
The pilot was taken to the Bologna hospital, where he remained in an induced coma until his death was announced a few hours later. The race was won by Schumacher, but that didn’t matter. Senna remains in the collective memory ever since and I always remember him in Tamburello. There, in the adjacent Acque Minerali park, a monument was erected in homage to the Brazilian, a place of pilgrimage for F1 and motor sports fans. Approaching his statue is to experience the special aura that the place gives off. Full of admirers, the silence surrounding the place is thunderous. It is the tribute to what many consider the greatest and who left before his time.
Questions in employment interviews in the city of Gothenburg are deleted
#Questions #employment #interviews #city #Gothenburg #deleted
A proposal on a new routine for how and when background and register checks must be carried out during recruitment will be presented to the municipal board in Gothenburg next week.
All parts of the city of Gothenburg are tasked with “identifying positions in their operations that are deemed to be exposed to a high risk of infiltration”.
At the same time, the so-called interview guide with questions about the candidate’s background to assess suitability will be updated.
However, the administration writes to the politicians that the pilot project that was run last year in the city’s four social services on the candidate’s background to assess suitability for the position was not without problems.
Ten managers then conducted interviews with 72 candidates for positions such as youth consultants and leisure assistants. But, the administrative management writes: “Asking in-depth questions about the candidate’s background was experienced in two out of four administrations as controversial and associated with a work environment risk”.
The managers believed that the questions “risked being perceived as provocative by the applicants and that it could lead to unpleasant situations for managers and employees participating in recruitment.”
Furthermore, it was reported that the managers felt uncertain about how to assess the information they might receive.
Therefore, the interview guide was reformulated before the interviews began and the assessment after the pilot project ended is now that the questions “did not provide the in-depth information about the candidate’s background that the project aimed for”.
The administration writes that the probability that the candidates who intend to infiltrate the city’s operations are open and transparent with their background “is low”. In order to get more information about the candidate’s background, background and register checks are therefore also suggested.
The City of Gothenburg’s HR and communications director Lotta Sjöberg tells DN that it has been agreed that the interview guide should be supplemented, among other things, with information about the city’s core values.
– But if you want to achieve what the policy has given us, we need to do more. The background is that we must reduce the risk of employing people with established links to organized crime or violent extremism.
Some suggested questions were perceived as difficult to ask. How do you see it?
– One thing is that questions may have felt uncomfortable to ask. But we will still supplement the interview guide.
The proposal that is now being put on the municipal board’s table comes after an almost four-year process.

In October had the party Democrats’ Martin Wannholt made a proposal about tightened procedures in reference to two high-profile cases in which a substitute teacher linked to Islamist extremism had been hired, and a case involving a youth supervisor who himself had connections to gang crime.
Then, as well as later during the political process, the Left Party and the Green Party chose to vote no to the tightening of the routines that the other parties supported.
When the municipal board in 2021 had the issue up wrote V and MP, which today constitutes Gothenburg’s city board together with the Social Democrats: “When an individual recruiting manager receives more information about an employee that does not directly relate to the work duties, he must have clear support not to, knowingly or unknowingly, use the information to discriminate against certain applicant.”
Parallel to Gothenburg’s city’s work on the issue has the government appointed an investigation with the aim of assessing which expanded opportunities employers have to obtain information about people, both before and during employment.
The investigation should be completed in October.

Ortega says that assault on the Mexican embassy ‘is inadmissible’
The president of Nicaragua, Daniel Ortega, said yesterday Tuesday before Celac that the assault on the Mexican embassy in Ecuador “has no precedent” and that it is “inadmissible” for a government in the region to act in this way “staining the national sovereignty of another Latin American country”.
Ortega sent this message – read virtually by the Nicaraguan Foreign Minister, Denis Moncada Colindres – at the summit convened by the Community of Latin American and Caribbean States (Celac) to analyze the situation generated by the police assault on the headquarters of the Mexican embassy in Quito, to capture former vice president Jorge Glas, convicted of corruption.
“Nicaragua reaffirms its condemnation, denunciation, rejection and repudiation of the crime committed by the Government of Ecuador, a neo-fascist, neo-colonialist act of imperial dictation, against the sovereignty and national dignity of the brother people and Government of Mexico,” said the president.
Ortega recalled that his Government, “upon learning of these reprehensible acts that have no precedent, nor can they set a precedent,” issued an official statement in which it repudiated “that crime and informed the severing of all diplomatic relations with the Government of Ecuador.”
“Also our State, in the midst of a sovereign act, has said that our decision is against that irresponsible Government and not against the noble Ecuadorian people to whom we reiterate our affection, support and solidarity,” he said.
