Utilization problems are not to be complained regarding on this final evening of the season. If the Wiener Volksoper, the house on the Gurtel, had remained half empty, the never-ending initial applause for the outgoing director Robert Meyer would have created the illusion of pre-corona capacity utilization. Thursday evening is also a special one, because it’s a final one for the boss. With Say goodbye loudly! titled, a mix of what the director and mimes Meyer considers to be particularly successful is offered.

The pharma giant GSK is investing 70 million in Wavre to produce a vaccine against RSV, a respiratory virus

The “flagship” of the BW
The “vaccines” division currently represents 20% of the turnover of all of GSK’s activity, i.e. 39.5 billion euros in 2021. Emmanuel Amory considers them under a keyword, a neologism: “GloBELisation“, namely a globalization anchored in Belgium. GSK in figures, there are more than 20 different vaccines, and 21 candidate vaccines in development. The company claims that more than 90% of its vaccines offer protection greater than 90%. the Wavre site, GSK has 12 production sites around the world, and 17,000 employees, including 9,000 in Belgium alone, within a radius of 15 kilometers.
In Walloon Brabant, 3 sites are at the heart of the activities: in Rixensart, GSK focuses on research and development; in Wavre, on production and packaging; and in Gembloux, on distribution.
Alongside vaccines, the new boss insists on two other areas of development: immunotherapy and work on the resistance of bacteria to antibiotics.
And the Covid-19?
The first version of the vaccine once morest Covid-19 that GSK intended to develop with the French Sanofi will never see the light of day, for lack of sufficient effectiveness. The company is now betting on the second version, with the hope that it might become a “booster” that can be combined with previous vaccinations by other products and which, thanks to the use of an adjuvant, would be more effective on elderly populations.
The Utah Jazz’s plan after trading Rudy Gobert to Minnesota
written by Alexandra Hartman Editor-in-Chief
The second day of Free Agency 2022 started with practically the same force as the first. Not because of the number of signings and transfers announced, but because of the surprising exchange between Utah Jazz y The Minnesota Timberwolves that ended with Rudy Gobert as a new player in the Minneapolis franchise. This transfer was squared as follows:
- Minnesota Timberwolves receive: Rudy Gobert.
- The Utah Jazz get: Patrick Beverley, Malik Beasley, Walker Kessler, Leandro Bolmaro, four 1st-round draft picks (2023, 2025 and 2027 unprotected, and the 2029 protected Top 5) and a 2026 Draft swap pick.
After this ‘megatrade’, the Jazz have a plan that they want to develop during the rest of the market and extend it for the long-term future in the NBA: rebuild around Donovan Mitchell. This has been confirmed by the Salt Lake Tribune journalist, Andy Larsen.
The reality is that Utah no longer has a roster capable of competing for the NBA ring. In fact, following the information from Larsen, he does not rule out moving Mitchell this summer if a great offer arrives for his player that further enhances the reconstruction of a team that only looks to the competition with eyes to the future.
The Utah Jazz might still trade Donovan Mitchell, per @andyblarsen
“Sense is that the Jazz are keeping their options open here: they might retool around Mitchell, or trade him for a massive haul to jumpstart a rebuild.” pic.twitter.com/eymIWv3QWI

And Minnesota, to all
Quite the opposite in the Timberwolves. The franchise can no longer afford not to compete for the NBA ring. He has brought together, on the same team, Rudy Gobert with Karl-Anthony Towns, Anthony Edwards and D’Angelo Russell. Very strong years are expected for them.
Portuguese star Cristiano Ronaldo has asked to be allowed to leave his current club, Manchester United, if he receives an appropriate offer in the current summer transfers, according to the British newspaper, The Times.
Sky Sports quoted the newspaper as saying that the 37-year-old’s decision was motivated by his desire to play in the Champions League.
She added that Ronaldo participated in 19 consecutive seasons of the European Champions League since leaving Sporting Lisbon for English football in the summer of 2003, and he has never played in the European League, the tournament in which Manchester United will participate, following he finished sixth in the English Premier League last season.
The Portuguese star is confident in his ability to spend three or four years during which he can play at the highest level, and he wants to spend that period with a team in which he can add individual numbers to his achievements.
Those close to Ronaldo confirmed that he maintains a great position and great respect for the Manchester United fans, and in addition to the sporting reasons for his departure from the team, he has personal reasons represented in his family, which was not happy with life in Manchester.
Cristiano returned last season to Manchester United, 12 years following his departure from the team, where he played for Real Madrid and Juventus, before returning once more to “Old Trafford”.
