In Sintra a gala corresponding to the national semi-final of the New 7 Wonders of Portugal is about to begin, with live broadcast on TVI. The event marks another stage of the competition that aims to elect the most representative monuments and works of Portuguese heritage. The gala promises to be a moment of great expectation for the participating candidates.

The Aqueduto da Amoreira is one of the candidates for a place in the final, competing in the Large Works category. This historic monument is represented by a delegation from Elvas, the city that houses this important architectural structure. The presence of the Aqueduto da Amoreira in this semi-final reflects recognition of its heritage value.

In the Elvas delegation there is hope for qualification to the next phase of the competition. However, the natural nervousness that precedes moments like this is also present among the representatives of the candidacy. Expectation mingles with the anxiety typical of those awaiting the verdict of the contest.

Before being Calvin Harris: Rock in Rio DJ released songs at 18 years old under a different name

Calvin Harris, the headliner at Rock in Rio's Palco Mundo, didn't always use that name. At 18 years old, in 2002, the Scottish DJ released "Da Bongos" and "Brighter Days" under the stage name Stouffer, in physical formats such as 12-inch single and CD-EP. This phase lasted a short time, and in 2004 he was already credited as Calvin Harris on the song "Let me know," featuring Ayah Marar, on the compilation Electric Soul, Vol. 2, by duo The Unabombers. The name Calvin Harris only gained prominence a few years later.

Farming aura

The concept "farming aura" is a Gen Z trend that went viral on TikTok and Instagram, combining the "farming" mechanic from video games with personal magnetism. Instead of feeling embarrassed when going through an awkward moment, young people now say they "lost 500 aura points," as if it were a game. The trend represents a way for Gen Z to deal with embarrassing situations in a lighter manner, transforming embarrassment into something trivial and even humorous, in contrast to the anxious rumination that would be more common in previous generations.
