  2. as you said that I did all this in just one month I want to tell you very frankly, I never felt that it was a month and it passed after my mistake on the first order. I learned a lot and as I said earlier, I am a person. I refer my mistakes and successes to the experience and benefit of every human being, regardless of his mentality. I also benefited from you personally so i want to thank You A lot Bro ❤️ 1- as you said, I started from Ts3 and our team's ts3 was 23rd or 21st, and now we're ranked 12th, not only my best, but the efforts of the entire team. I have some ideas or persuasive methods that can be reinforced later, but I need to think more about their negatives and I will give you an example that I made a friend of mine speak Swedish by talking to someone but with my plan , and in fact convinced him, but I do not know how things went wrong 2- Answer A - I love Devil Harmony as my favorite project because I see music playing a huge role in getting people to communicate and communicate with them more than anything , other than the pleasure and comfort that you feel when listening to your favorite music B- In the second place, journalists, but I think it is equal to the first. This project provides you with new information and things that you did not know it and discover, and you can benefit a lot to develop from yourself. Other things give you some things and videos that make you laugh and feel happy. C - Latin I think it is in second place because it is a very difficult thing and needs a lot of caution, experience and work, but one of its disadvantages is that you will receive some insults and insults that make you feel frustrated. but You say to yourself i am helping my friend in this ts3 3-A very nice question. There is a big difference between failure and loss. The loss relates to the conditions and requirements that can be profitable and that can be lost, and through a loss a person can achieve something greater then. As for failure, it is weakness, recklessness, indifference, lack of will, killing ambition, and failure to use capabilities in the right way. It is my answer you know what is most effective for me . 4 - Create a plan and work with it, I have a clear reason to choose this thing because I am working on it now in my life When you finish the plan that you have made, you will feel a sense that you are a great person in the eyes of yourself and the eyes of others, you have made something of your effort and work and the plan that you have put in your hands Thanks for your questions and i am sorry for late ❤️

  5. The real story behind CsBlackDevil The fairy tale The story of our community, as most know, starts like this. Not long after when the two brothers (Love & Sethhh) discover the gaming world and start their first CounterStrike 1.6 server , making their way through the crowd of people, fishing from them every teaching it can sustain a bright future. The first server, an affiliation with CsRedDevil , the first gaming friends, opening CsBlackDevil, the first top server, activity, work, projects, first rank in leading, all of these in a virtual world. Finally, here we are, together , 51,000 people happy and strong. What is CsBlackDevil and who founded CsBlackDevil Autumn of 2010 was the right time to open a the first classic Counter Strike 1.6 server, Lupta.CsRedDevil.Com - and it's membership in the old community, CsRedDevil.Com, whose host was only 5 euro. The desire to make the server more powerful and known, especially in front of the community administrators motivated us total. Therefore, a server with a high average, with the owners at quite early ages (at the time the undersigned had about 17 years and Sethhh only 1 meter tall, around 13 years old), seemed to be high hopes in gaming for Zeus and Kleopatra, two of the CSRD administrators (csreddevil.com). Therefore, the server, Lupta, was a bridge between us and the two spouses, who in turn they were managing the server of the founder. Time passed easily, and their move to our server was imminent and after this the problems started because the CSRD founder lost two important administrators. In November-December 2011, Zeus and Kleopatra decided to open a new community with [dvl]aditza, Hattrick and Pool, whom we followed with our whole soul. So was born CsBlackdevil community, and its first four servers: - NewLifeZm - Zmoldschool - HighlifeZm - CSDM, with promise and hope that at some point, both I and Sethhh, we become administrators of CSBD. The addons for Zombie Plague had been created, the server CSDM ran one of the best respawn addons, and the first places in the GameTracker.Com top were already reserved for us. But also divergences had appeared, and Hatrick had to leave us. On May 1, 2012 we made the transition to IPBoard, good time for me and my brother to start work and continuous activity. Our old friends, Zeus and Kleopatra, and also the people we learned from, receded slightly, and me and my brother, Sethhh, had taken over the reins, under the guidance of [dvl]adita, as a single account with the administrator rank. Meanwhile, even if DVL gave us little chance to succeed in something , we started the partnership CSBD – Krond SOLUTIONS, one of the most important steps in the history of CSBD. When everything was going smoothly, DVL proposed the sale of the community and license ... that moment came like rain after a secular drought, after that it followed the proposal from Krond to become official resellers. Our experience in gaming had a wonderful course and this was due to the pleasure of working on each project and server, the respect we offered to the people we've met and we will always remember. It is easy to understand that regardless of age, size, nationality, color or geographical position, we can have a great influence in the collapse or in building an empire. Currently I am proud of what I have created together with Sethhh and glad that we met people who have always been with us. "It doesn’t matter how good you are, but how good you want to be." [ Paul Arden ] Special thanks to: Zeus & @Kleopatra, @adA, @PoOL, @Jully , @Loading, @LuMiX ,@RaMpO, @TwixQ#, @DOri. _____________________________________________________________________________________ Adevarata poveste din spatele CsBlackDevil The fairy tale Povestea comunitatii noastre, așa cum majoritatea o știu, incepe asa. Nu la mult timp dupa momentul in care cei doi frati ( Love & Sethhh ) descopera lumea jocurilor si pornesc primul lor server CounterStrike 1.6, isi fac loc prin multimea de oameni pescuind de la ei fiecare invatatura ce ii poate sustine intr-un viitor stralucit. Primul server, o afiliere in CsRedDevil, primii prieteni gameri, deschiderea CsBlackDevil, primul server de top, activitate, munca, proiecte, prima functie in conducere, si toate acestea intr-o lume virtuala. In cele din urma, iata-ne aici, impreuna cei 51.000. What is CsBlackDevil and who founded CsBlackDevil Toamna lui 2010 a fost momentul prielnic deschiderii primului server clasic - counter strike 1.6, Lupta.CsRedDevil.Com - si afilierii acestuia in vechea comunitate CsRedDevil.Com, al carui host era doar 5 euro. Dorinta de a ne face serverul cat mai puternic si cunoscut, mai ales in fata administratorilor comunitatii, ne-a motivat total. Tocmai de aceea, un server cu un average destul de mare, cu owneri la varste destul de fragede ( la acea vreme subsemnatul avea aproximativ 17 ani, iar Sethhh la numai 1 metru inaltime, in jur de 13 ), pareau a fi sperante mari in gaming pentru Zeus si Kleopatra, doi dintre administratorii CSRD (csreddevil.com). Asadar, serverul Lupta, a fost o punte de legatura intre noi si cei doi soti, care la randul lor se ocupau de administrarea serverului fondatorului principal. Timpul a trecut usor, iar mutarea lor pe serverul nostru a fost iminenta ceea ce a pornit si problemele pe care fondatorul CSRD urma sa ni le faca datorita pierderii celor doi importanti administratori. In noiembrie-decembrie 2011, Zeus si Kleopatra au hotarat deschiderea unei noi comunitati alaturi de dvlAditza, Hattrick si Pool, pe care i-am urmat cu tot sufletul. Asa a lua nastere comunitatea CsBlackdevil, si primele ei 4 servere: - NewLifeZm - Zmoldschool - HighlifeZm - CSDM, cu promisiunea si speranta ca la un moment dat, atat eu cat si Sethhh, vom devenii administratorii CSBD. Addonsurile Zombie Plague fuseseram create, serverul CSDM rula unul dintre cele mai bune addonsuri respawn, iar primele locuri din topul GameTracker.Com deja le rezervasem pentru noi. Insa totodata divergentele au si aparut, iar Hatrick a fost nevoit sa ne paraseasca. Pe 1 mai 2012 am facut trecerea pe IPBoard moment prielnic pentru mine si fratele meu sa pornim lucrul si o activitate neintrerupta. Vechii nostrii prieteni, Zeus si Kleopatra, si in acelasi timp oamenii de la care am avut destul de multe lucruri interesante de invatat s-au retras usor, iar eu si Sethhh am preluat fraiele comunitatii sub indrumarea lui dvlAdita sub forma unui singur rank administrator adaugat contului meu. Intre timp, chiar daca DVL ne dadea slabe sanse in a reusii ceva, am pornit si parteneriatul CSBD - KROND SOLUTIONS, unul dintre cei mai importanti pasi din istoria CSBD. Cand totul mergea ca pe roate, Adita ne-a propus vanzarea comunitatii si a licentei...moment care a venit ca ploaia dupa o seceta seculara, urmata si de propunerea din partea KROND de a devenii reselleri oficiali. Experienta noastra in gaming a avut un curs minunat si asta s-a datorat placerii cu care am lucrat la fiecare proiect si server, respectului oferit si oamenilor pe care i-am intalnit si de care ne vom aminti mereu. Este usor de inteles ca indiferent de varsta, marime, nationalitate, culoare sau pozitie geografica, putem avea o mare influenta in prabusirea sau construirea unui imperiu. Actualmente sunt mandru de ceea ce am creat impreuna cu Sethhh si bucuros ca am cunoscut astfel de oameni care au fost mereu alaturi de noi. "Nu conteaza cat de bun esti, ci cat de bun vrei sa fii." [ Paul Arden ] Multumiri speciale, Zeus & @Kleopatra, @TwixQ#, @PoOL, @adA , @Jully , @Loading, @LuMiX , @RaMpO, @DOri.

  8. Contactless payments are just the beginning for a whole new way of making money Cash has long been king, but times are changing. Due to technological advances and worries about handling paper money and coins, the move towards digital payments is speeding up. Consumers want convenience and business owners want a healthy turnover, while everybody wants to stay safe. Therefore, moving your business towards an increasingly cashless setup makes a lot of sense. It’s also pretty easy to achieve thanks to lots of payment processing products and services aimed at offering simplicity all round. Pick the right cashless business model and you and your customers will be able to enjoy all of the benefits that brings. Going virtual Small business owners have a number of options at their disposal, which can facilitate payments from customers who are present and have a card they want to pay with. But there are also options available for when the customer might be making an order on the phone, or by using your e-commerce website. If you’re a small business owner who expects to regularly deal with customers who want to give you their payment details over the phone, or are sending you a mail order, then a virtual terminal is one option. Having this hardware at your disposal means you can still process a transaction, even when the customer isn’t there in person Cost factor Clearly one of the best ways to eradicate the need for physical cash as well as reducing the level of germs that are present is to offer contactless payments. Regular card terminals are well know for being far from hygienic due to the numbers of people who handle them over time. Even though you can be as diligent as you like cleaning the PIN pad, card machines are by their nature, going to be pretty grubby. Contactless cards, which more and more consumers now own, are much better as the built-in Near Field Communication (NFC) technology gets rid of the physical contact needed to process a payment. Mobile wallets Staying with the contactless theme, a neat variation on ways to pay comes via the digital wallet. Now that most customers have a smartphone there’s been a surge in the po[CENSORED]rity of digital wallets, which include the likes of Apple Pay, Google Pay and Samsung Pay. Again, these use NFC technology to process the transaction via your handset. Generally speaking, if you’re going to be set up for accepting contactless payments via card then it’s more than likely you’ll be able to extend this capacity to include digital wallets too as our guides explain. E-commerce website Putting together your own e-commerce website makes a lot of sense if you’re in the business of selling pretty much anything. While some websites can be used solely as a profile-building exercise, others can be used to sell your products and services. There are plenty of options if you want to use a website building service, which does away with the need to know much about web design. However, if you’re looking to sell then make sure that any package you pick is able to handle online shoppers, with all of the payment options that comes with that kind of functionality. The good news is that many of the site-building tools out there do already have provision for this. Some even let you scale up your business as demand requires it. Payment links If you’re looking to add convenience to your e-commerce experience and tend to sell products rather than services then it's a good idea to consider having payment buttons on your website. In essence, these are payment links that can be triggered when a customer clicks or taps on them, either via a desktop experience or when using their mobile device. Payment links are great as they’re a no-fuss option that don't usually require you to possess any major e-commerce website building skills. The functionality of the button or payment link does tend to vary however, depending on which provider you're using to implement it. But it’s worth perusing the products and services in our payment link guides to see which ones provide the sort of functionality you’re after. Social media Lookout too for an increasing number of opportunities to trade online using the social media might of Facebook and Google. Facebook business pages, for example, offer up the option of product and services listings. Google, meanwhile, is really trying to assist small business owners with a recent initiative to help them get their products more efficiently listed on Google Shopping. There’s even been the option of a Buy on Google checkout facility and lots more convenience offered by the search giant in a bid to boost the lot of the small business owner in the wake of the coronavirus pandemic. A pilot is already being run in the US, so hopefully we can all look forward to improving trading conditions in the near future. Better still, unlike days gone by, we should all be able to make some money without even touching it.

  10. Smartphones have come a long way when it comes to gaming, and now along with the casual games that still prove very po[CENSORED]r you can also get full console-quality experiences on a phone. But of course, that kind of experience takes some serious power, for which you’ll benefit from having one of the best gaming phones. Since ‘power’ is the key word, many of the best phones for gaming are simply high-end handsets like the Samsung Galaxy S20 range, the OnePlus 8 Pro, and the iPhone 11 Pro, but there are also other considerations such as refresh rates, screen size, gaming modes, cooling systems, and more, which tend to be more directly targeted by phones built with gaming in mind. We’re talking handsets like the Black Shark 2, Razer Phone 2, and Nubia Red Magic 5G, all of which are aimed specifically at mobile gamers. These handsets and more are included in our list below, so there are plenty of options, and not all of them cost a fortune. For each you’ll find full details of its specs, features, and highlights in our guide below, so you should have everything you need to get your game on. 1. iPhone 11 Pro Max / iPhone 11 Pro The best gaming iPhones available right now Release date: September 2019 | Weight: 226g / 188g | Dimensions: 158 x 77.8 x 8.1mm / 144 x 71.4 x 8.1mm | OS: iOS 13 | Screen size: 6.5-inch / 5.8-inch | Resolution: 1242 x 2688 / 1125 x 2436 | CPU: A13 Bionic chip | RAM: 4GB | Storage: 64/256/512GB | Battery: 3,969mAh / 3,046mAh | Rear camera: 12MP + 12MP + 12MP | Front camera: 12MP The iPhone 11 Pro Max is the bigger, better brother of Apple's newest flagship smartphone in a few key ways, but if you're picking either model for gaming, you might as well go with the best. The 6.5-inch screen on the iPhone 11 Pro Max is bigger than the one on its 5.8-inch sibling and its larger battery manages to stay working longer than the standard iPhone 11 Pro. Those perks will give you more of an edge than with the iPhone 11 Pro, but both benefit from this Apple phone generation's true advantage: the A13 Bionic processor. In our tests, it loaded up Clash Royale and PUBG even faster (vs the iPhone X), and speed is crucial in online gaming. All this in a Apple's sleek, modern look – though it's the most expensive mainstream phone on the market, even before including all the bells and whistles. 2-OnePlus 8 Pro Release date: April 2020 | Weight: 199g | Dimensions: 165.3 x 74.35 x 8.5mm | OS: Android 10 | Screen size: 6.78-inch | Resolution: 3168 x 1440 | CPU: Snapdragon 865 | RAM: 8/12GB | Storage: 128/256GB | Battery: 4,510mAh | Rear camera: 48MP+48MP+5MP+8MP | Front camera: 16MP The OnePlus 7 Pro used to rank high on this list, but it’s been bettered in every important way by the OnePlus 8 Pro, a phone that has both all the power you need for games, and a screen that helps them look their best. There’s a top-end Snapdragon 865 chipset inside this phone, along with up to 12GB of RAM, so you get flagship power. As for the screen, the OnePlus 8 Pro has a 6.78-inch 1440 x 3168 one with a 120Hz refresh rate, so it’s big, sharp, and smooth. 5G is also supported, so you can game online without lag wherever you are (as long as there’s 5G signal), and with its big 4,510mAh battery you’ll be able to game for a long time between charges. When it comes time to charge you won’t be out of the action for long either, as the OnePlus 8 Pro also supports both fast and wireless charging. 3. Samsung Galaxy S20 / S20 Plus Samsung's top flagships Release date: March 2020 | Weight: 163g/186g | Dimensions: 151.7 x 69.1 x 7.9mm/161.9 x 73.7 x 7.8mm | OS: Android 10 | Screen size: 6.2-inch/6.7-inch | Resolution: 1440 x 3200 | CPU: Snapdragon 865 / Exynos 990 | RAM: 8GB/12GB | Storage: 128GB (S20) or 128GB/256GB/512GB (S20 Plus) | Battery: 4,000mAh/4500mAh | Rear camera: 12MP + 64MP + 12MP | Front camera: 10MP The Samsung Galaxy S20 and Samsung Galaxy S20 Plus are obvious inclusions for this list, seeing as how they’re the latest entries in the most high-profile Android flagship range around. They’re not just coasting on their name though, these phones really are great for games, thanks in no small part to the top-end computing power at their heart. You get either a Snapdragon 865 chipset if you’re in the US, or an Exynos 990 in most other places, and in both cases these are flagship smartphone chipsets. You also get 8GB of RAM, so not much should slow these phones down. And games will look great on them, as both models have a QHD+ screen with a refresh rate of up to 120Hz. They also pack big batteries, giving you either 4,000mAh or 4,500mAh to play with in the Galaxy S20 and Galaxy S20 Plus respectively. 4. Black Shark 2 The best gaming phone for those on a budget Release date: March 2019 | Weight: 205g | Dimensions: 163.6 x 75 x 8.8mm | OS: Android 9.0 Pie | Screen size: 6.39-inch | Resolution: 1080 x 2340 | CPU: Snapdragon 855 | RAM: 6/8/12GB | Storage: 128/256GB | Battery: 4,000mAh | Rear camera: 48MP + 12MP | Front camera: 20MP The Black Shark 2 is the second generation gaming phone from Chinese firm Xiaomi's gaming arm, and it builds well on its predecessor adding more power and a better screen into the mix. Combining a great camera, excellent internals and improved gaming credentials over the original, the Black Shark 2 is a triple threat that betters most of its gaming phone rivals. It's lumbered with a handful of instabilities and quirks, but even with those accounted for, the bang for buck it delivers is off the chart. The only thing to watch out for is its availability. It's not easy to find in some countries, such as the US. 5. Nubia Red Magic 5G Magic for gaming, less so for some other things Release date: March 2020 | Weight: 218g | Dimensions: 168.6 x 78 x 9.8mm | OS: Android 10 | Screen size: 6.65-inch | Resolution: 1080 x 2340 | CPU: Snapdragon 865 | RAM: 8/12GB | Storage: 128/256GB | Battery: 4,500mAh | Rear camera: 64MP + 8MP + 2MP | Front camera: 8MP The Nubia Red Magic 5G has the world’s first 144Hz smartphone screen, which makes it ideal for gaming, as that’s a silky smooth refresh rate. But that’s not the only thing that makes this ideal for gaming. In fact, it’s designed specifically for this pastime, with shoulder triggers to give you increased control, a fan and a liquid cooling system to keep the handset cool under pressure, a dedicated ‘Game Space’ to let you customize your gaming experience, and a ‘4D Shock’ feature that adds vibration to games. That last feature isn’t supported by many titles at the time of writing, and nor is the 144Hz display, but if game developers embrace them then this could be one seriously future-proofed phone. It also supports 5G of course, and has plenty of power. It’s only let down slightly by a 1080 x 2340 screen, which isn’t among the sharpest around, along with some software bugs and a design that will prove divisive. 6. Asus ROG Phone 2 Built from the ground up for gamers Release date: September 2019 | Weight: 240g | Dimensions: 171 x 77.6 x 9.5mm | OS: Android 9 Pie | Screen size: 6.59-inch | Resolution: 1080 x 2340 | CPU: Snapdragon 855 Plus | RAM: 12GB | Storage: 512GB/1TB | Battery: 6,000mAh | Rear camera: 48MP + 13MP | Front camera: 24MP The Asus ROG Phone 2 has almost all the features mobile gamers need, including a staggeringly large 6,000mAh battery (for extended gaming sessions), and a slick 120Hz AMOLED screen, in a large 6.59-inch size. Add to that truly top tier specs, with the combination of a Snapdragon 855 Plus chipset, 12GB of RAM and masses of storage, and you can see why the Asus ROG Phone 2 makes our list. Being designed specifically for gamers, it also has features you won't find on most other phones, such as a clip-on fan, which is generously included in the box, and a range of other accessories (such as a gamepad), which you'll have to buy separately. There's also built-in software to help you tailor your gaming experience, through, for example, overclocking the already meaty CPU, and adjusting the fan speed. There are some issues with the Asus ROG Phone 2, but most of them don't affect gaming. It doesn't have wireless charging or water resistance for example, and the design is sure to be divisive. If all you want your phone for is gaming though, and you either like this design or don't much care, then the Asus ROG Phone 2 is hard to beat. 7. Razer Phone 2 Gaming-specific features that outshine its everyday ones Release date: October 2018 | Weight: 205g | Dimensions: 158.5 x 78.9 x 8.5mm | OS: Android 9 Pie | Screen size: 5.72-inch | Resolution: 2560×1440 | CPU: Snapdragon 845 | RAM: 6/8GB | Storage: 64GB/128GB (up to 1TB with card) | Battery: 4,000mAh | Rear camera: 12MP f/1.75 wide angle / 12MP f/2.6 telephoto | Front camera: 8MP f/2.0 The first Razer Phone was a solid first effort to bring the gamer-specific brand to a mobile device, but it had a few shortcomings that dropped it further down our list. The second version has addressed some and come out with a stronger device for it, though it's still aimed primarily at gamers. What does that mean? The camera and display aren't nearly as impressive as other phones that cost this much, so casual gamers might want to look elsewhere. But if you're more serious about mobile gaming and can afford it, this is a solid choice. Outwardly, the Razer Phone 2 hasn't changed much from its predecessor, though it's upgraded to the Snapdragon 845 chip and switched to a glass back for Qi wireless charging. It's also added a slick vapor chamber to cool the device as you game. At the end of the day, the phone's beefy chipset, 8GB RAM, great speakers, 120hz refresh rate screen and 4,000mAh battery, as well as extensive settings to tweak battery life and performance, make this a great choice for gaming.

  11. The company plans to reduce these losses in the second half but highlights the uncertainty caused by the outbreaks. Seat has suffered strongly from the stoppage of activity caused by the Covid pandemic. The operating result for the first half of the year showed a loss of 271 million euros. In the same period of 2019, Seat earned 216 million euros. This means that in the second quarter the Spanish company lost 223 million. In this period it suffered the cessation of activity in its main European markets, including Spain where its main factory, that of Martorell, was stopped from March 13 to mid-May. "Seat has suffered strongly from the effects of Covid in key markets such as Spain and other European countries," according to Volkswagen Group Chief Financial Officer Frank Witter. This slowdown in activity has also been reflected in sales that fall almost half since in these first six months it has sold 197,000 cars for the 310,000 it marketed in the first half of 2019. This has caused revenues to have fallen dramatically to 3,749 million from the 6,266 million obtained in the first half of 2019. These results were known during the presentation of results of the Volkswagen group, owner of the Spanish company, in the first half of 2020. The German consortium obtained a negative operating result of 1,490 million euros. "We cannot know when or how the second wave of Covid will affect many regions," Witter said. "There will be recovery and we will work hard to get the best figures, but we do not know what that recovery will be like," explained the head of finance at Volkswagen.

  12. The Civil Guard located him this Wednesday on the M-404, a few kilometers from the place where the events occurred The Civil Guard has located hidden in the M-404, in the trailer of a beer delivery truck, the vehicle that was allegedly used in the fatal accident in El Álamo that resulted in the death of two people. In the afternoon of this Wednesday, this car, a black BMW, was located at kilometer 15 of the M-404, between the municipalities of El Álamo and Serranillos del Valle, according to the armed institute. Investigators are now analyzing the tourism found and collecting evidence to verify its relationship to last month's outrage, although, in principle, both the color and the model agree with the version pointed out by the witnesses to the event. Last Sunday night a party was held in El Álamo between two family clans, some from the Madrid neighborhoods of Vallecas and Moratalaz and others from the Navalcarnero settlement. The celebration ended in a brawl, with a first hit with at least three wounded, including a child. The Civil Guard located two days ago the vehicle with which this first run-in was carried out. Later, already in the early hours of Monday, a fatal crash at kilometer 6 of the M-404, left two fatalities and left an 18-year-old girl in hospital serious. The deceased are a young couple of 27 and 28 years old from Vallecas who attended the party as a guest and had four children, according to what their relatives have declared. While the owner of the bar and relatives have explained that the brawl was a confrontation over the music that was playing at the party, investigators do not rule out that in addition to that problem, there were previous disagreements between the clans.

  13. How to increase FPS on your PC or laptop to improve gaming performance: 1-Update your graphics drivers 2-Give your GPU a slight overclock 3-Boost your PC with an optimization tool 4-Upgrade your graphics card to a newer model 5-Switch out that old HDD and get yourself an SSD 6-Turn off Superfetch and Prefetch 7-Defrag & TRIM your hard disk for faster access 8-Tweak your Intel, AMD or NVIDIA Control Panels 1. Upgrade your Graphics Drivers for an immediate FPS boost Your graphics card is the centerpiece of your gaming experience (more on that below), but it can’t unfold its true performance without the proper software installed on your PC or laptop. Going from the driver that came either with your PC or with your graphics card to the latest version can make a large performance difference. Just look at nVidias latest graphics drivers, for example: GeForce GTX SLI scaling improvements graph Nvidia GeForce owners: Go to http://www.geforce.com/drivers. Next, select your graphics card and your Windows version from the list and hit the “Start Search” button. My tip: Always go for the driver marked as “BETA”. This isn’t quite a finished driver, but they all run as stable and good as the final release these days and will likely give you even more performance! ATI Radeon owners: ATI fans go to http://sites.amd.com/us/game/downloads/Pages/downloads.aspx and select the appropriate device. This will give you access to the latest official driver which you can download and install. To get the beta driver with more performance improvements or features, head over to http://support.amd.com/en-us/kb-articles/Pages/latest-catalyst-windows-beta.aspx. For Intel HD Graphics owners: Mostly found on ultrabooks or tablets, the Intel graphics chipsets are the weakest of the bunch. I wouldn’t recommend doing any sort of gaming on the older integrated Intel HD chipsets (such as the HD 3000 or earlier) – unless you’re heavily into slideshows instead of smooth gameplay – but their latest graphics chipsets are powerful enough to play even recent titles, albeit not at the highest possible resolution or with all the bells and whistles turned on.To get updated drivers go to the Graphics driver page of the Intel Download Center. Wait, how do I even know what graphics card I own? Not a problem: To find out the maker and exact serial number, all you need to do is follow these steps. First, go to “Control Panel” and head to “Hardware and Sound”. From here, click on “Device Manager”: This will bring up a list of all the built-in devices of your system. Head over to where it says “Display adapters”: In these cases, you’ll see an Alienware X51 gaming rig with two graphic chips (the nVidia is usually always the faster one) and a laptop with a GeForce GT 650M. At any rate, make sure you’re using the latest drivers! 2- Supercharge your Graphics Card: A slight overclock doesn’t hurt! Your gaming performance is mostly dependent on the power of your graphics chip – even more so than on how much memory you have or how fast your processor is! The bottleneck and the reason for stuttering gameplay is in almost all cases the graphics chip. To improve performance, you may want to look at running the graphics card beyond the factory speed setting – or in other words: overclocking! Now, 5-10 years ago, I wouldn’t have recommended overclocking as it posed a significant threat to your hardware, but nowadays most systems turn themselves off automatically before they take any damage. Besides, I only recommend a slight overclock by about 10-15%. On my desktop gaming PC, an Alienware Area 51 R2, I pushed the two GeForce Titan Xp (2017) (SLI) roughly 15-20% above their factory clock On my main laptop, a MacBook Pro 2016 with a Radeon 460 Pro running Windows 10, I always push the GPU from by plus 100 MHz on the chip and memory by 300 MHz. . Bear in mind that overclocking increases the stress on and temperature of all of your hardware, not just the CPU or GPU, so it should be done with extreme care. In both cases, I ended up with a system that’s 5° Celsius hotter than before, but still well within the limits. To overclock the GPU, I recommend to read our article on How to Overclock Your GPU for More Gaming and Multimedia Performance. Using 3DMark 11 I measured that overclocking my system as described above yielded a 10% performance boost: 3. Boost your FPS with AVG TuneUp’s “Uninstaller” and “Program Deactivator” Windows® keeps getting slower and slower with each program you install on your PC or laptop – and that has a direct effect on all of your games! The reason for this is that a lot of programs run some sort of background activity, even when they’re not being used. AVG makes it easy to uninstall programs that you don’t use and even reduce the impact of ones that you need. 4. Upgrade your Graphics Card [Desktop only] Once I treated myself to a 4K projector a year ago, I noticed how my old gaming PC really couldn’t keep up: While Witcher 3 ran “ok” in Full HD, my two GeForce 970 (in SLI mode) really struggled with 4K which is essentially 4x the resolution: We’re talking 4096x2160 pixels versus 1920x1080. Only recently and with NVIDIAs Pascal GPU generation did we get the graphical power to really render 4K games at a butter smooth 60 frames per seconds. Note that only the highend GPUs 1080 TI or the Titan Xp are really made for these kind of requirements… * Tests were performance on a 2016 Alienware Area 51 Gaming PC: Core i7 4.5 GHz, 16 GB RAM, 2x 970 SLI and 2x Titan Xp SLI As you can see, upgrading from the older GeForce 970 to the two beasts that are the Titan Xps brought an increase of about 4x. That’s probably still the most effective way to boost performance.

  16. Since i live in U,S the po[CENSORED]r cars are Ford i will talk about them but i own BMW And Mercedes Ford is still saying "spring 2021" for the first deliveries of the 2021 Ford Bronco. Well, technically June is still in the spring. If you still haven't made a reservation, though, then it's likely that you won't get your new Bronco until some time later in 2022. The 2021 Ford Bronco Sport, on the other hand, is still on track to be delivered later this year. A big part of Ford's massive Bronco revival messaging was that anyone interested in owning one of the upcoming sport-utility vehicles should go plunk down a $100 refundable deposit for either the Bronco or the Bronco Sport. Ford asked, and people listened. So many, in fact, that getting in line now means an 18-month wait to take delivery.

  17. One minor has died and another has been seriously injured when he was hit late yesterday afternoon by a train in Calahorra. Two young people died on Wednesday hit by a train in Cantabria One minor has died and another has been seriously injured when they were hit in the late afternoon of this Thursday by a freight train, direction Castejón, in the area known as Melero, in Calahorra (La Rioja). The minors were reportedly walking near the train track when they had been run over by the iron bridge over the Cidacos River, located on the outskirts of the city. At this time the train remains stopped in the accident area, while the investigation continues. This event occurs a day after two young people were killed by a train in Cantabria. The convoy circulated between Torrelavega and Barreda. The event occurred at an "unauthorized crossing point" near the Torrelavega station, according to Adif, after 10:50 p.m., when the first alert call to 112 was registered.

  18. In the first country, the bonus can reach 12,000 euros, for 9,000 in the second. In our case, the maximum will be 5,500 euros In addition to the already known program for electric companies, there will be grants for the purchase of gasoline, diesel, gas and hybrid cars, always focused on the most efficient. The Government has admitted this. It remains to be seen the emissions limit established by the plan, the bonus it will offer, the funds - about 300 million - and how long it will be in force. Regarding the latter, it seems obvious that it will be a conjunctural tool to get out of the crisis. And then goodbye. Because the original idea of the Government was to exclusively subsidize 100% electric and, in fact, there is talk of continuing to do so until 2025. By then, they calculate that their prices will have been equal to those of conventional cars. In France and Germany, this comparison may be almost immediate in the cheapest models, at least while the plans they have approved last: they promise subsidies that will double the Spanish ones. PRICES LIKE LITTLE, 40% HIGHER Because an electric has great advantages and, still, great disadvantages. The price is at least 40% higher than that of an equivalent combustion model. For example, a battery-powered Opel Corsa with 340 kilometers of autonomy is around 30,000 euros; one thermal of similar power and equipment, is at 19,000 euros. And if we talk about average models such as the Hyundai Kona or Kia e-Niro with batteries, versions with a 440 kilometer range, they go over 40,000 euros. As provided in the Moves II Plan, parked until the full sectoral program is approved, these amounts may be reduced by a maximum of 5,500 euros if, in return, a vehicle with more than 10 years is scrapped. If not done, the aid falls to 4,000 euros. The Moves II will also subsidize electrical infrastructures and is endowed with 65 million euros, in principle until they are exhausted. As a maximum of 70% of that amount can be allocated to vehicles, 11,375 cars would result in the best case scenario. TWO PLANS IN THE CASE OF FRANCE The figures are far from the French case. There, from June to the end of the year, two complementary programs are in force. On the one hand, the already existing ecological bond that rewards the acquisition of a new battery-powered model and will now offer 7,000 euros. If, in addition, the buyer discards a gasoline vehicle prior to 2006 or diesel until 2010, he can add 5,000 euros thanks to the conversion program. That is also the (only) bonus if we change it for an electric or a plug-in hybrid with more than 50 kilometers of autonomy, zero emissions, but second-hand. For ecological bonds, France has endowed 535 million euros (they would give for 76,428 electric cars). The second package, which also offers aid of 3,000 euros for a new thermal car, is even more generous: 800 million, but limited to only 200,000 units. CONTRIBUTION OF BRANDS IN GERMANY As for Germany, the direct bonus to diesel and gasoline cars was finally ruled out, which will benefit from a 19% to 16% discount on the VAT they pay. At the expense of adding plug-in hybrids - which has not been ruled out - the Merkel government has bet everything on electricity: 2.2 billion euros that, during 2020 and 2021, will allow doubling aid for battery-powered cars. From 3,000 euros they go to 6,000. In addition, the brands agree to contribute another 3,000 euros, as they have been doing until now. In Spain, this contribution from the industry was part of the old Renove and Pive. Not so in the first edition of the Moves nor, as far as is known, in the second.

  19. The microgravity of the International Space Station allows scientists to explore a form of exotic matter known as the Bose-Einstein condensate. Ground tests of the Cold Atom Lab, with which the experiment was carried out in space It is estimated that around 68% of the universe is made up of dark energy and that another 27% corresponds to dark matter. That means that the nature of most of the mass of the cosmos remains a mystery. Clearing these unknowns requires progress in the development of physics models and improving the precision of the instruments with which some of the fundamental phenomena are observed. That is why NASA scientists have tested their Cold Atoms Laboratory (CAL) aboard the International Space Station (ISS), with which they have managed to generate the fifth state of matter, called Bose-Einstein condensate. The details of the experiment are described this Thursday in the journal Nature. The Bose-Einstein condensate is halfway between the microscopic world, where the rules of quantum mechanics rule, and the macroscopic world, where those of classical physics apply. This state of matter is formed when a gas of bosons (in this case, rubidium atoms) is cooled to bring it to near 0º Kelvin (-273ºC, or absolute zero), the lowest possible temperature. "This state is only obtained at the lowest temperatures and at the highest densities," explains Jim Kohel, one of the paper's co-authors. "So the set of atoms, which can be seen with a camera, behaves like an individual particle. It could be described as atoms acting collectively, like a wave." Experiments of this type provide scientists with a unique opportunity to study fundamental properties of quantum mechanics. The problem is that, on Earth, any precision analysis of this state of matter is hampered by the planet's own gravitational pull. To overcome this limitation, the NASA Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL) team decided to ship their instruments on the ISS. "The goal is to provide humanity with one of the most sensitive instruments ever built," explains Robert Shortwell, project manager. FREEFALL Because in the station's microgravity (which is in a perpetual free fall state) the laboratory is able to generate a Bose-Einstein condensate, confine it in a shallow atom trap, and observe it for much longer periods than on land before. to scatter. The Cold Atom Lab, about to be packaged for space travel According to the authors, the advantages provided by these conditions will also allow the creation of much colder condensates than have been achieved until now, since the expansion of atoms outside their container causes lower temperatures, in which the quantum effects Exotics are becoming more prominent. "One of the things that allows us to cool atoms beyond the point where Bose-Einstein condensation occurs is that we can weaken the trap," explains Robert Thompson, one of the project's researchers. "That allows the atomic cloud to expand and, as it expands, it cools. It's kind of like what happens when you use an aerosol can, because by spraying the gas inside it expands, cooling the can " At the moment, a temperature of one ten millionth of a degree above absolute zero has been achieved, making it the coldest object known in space (the record was set by MIT on Earth). Possible applications range from the search for dark energy and gravitational waves to space navigation or prospecting for underground minerals of planetary bodies, in addition to verifications in the Theory of General Relativity. "But one of the most important implications is that maybe we have a new paradigm for how physics is done," says Thompson. "So far our understanding of the inner workings of nature has come from particle accelerators and astronomical observatories, but in the future I think precision measurements with cold atoms are going to play an increasingly important role." A CENTURY OF INVESTIGATION In 1924 the young Indian physicist Satyendranath Bose wrote a letter to Albert Einstein. "Dear Sir, I have dared to send you the attached article. I am eager to know what you think of it." The article in question, which had already been rejected by a scientific journal, maintained that any object emits a certain light and that this luminosity depends on its temperature. It also described certain rules for determining whether two photons should be considered identical or different. Einstein immediately understood its importance, personally translated it into German, and recommended its publication to the Zeitschrift für Physik magazine The Cold Atom Lab, about to be loaded onto a Cygnus ship.NASA / JPL-Caltech / Tyler Winn One of the implications was that, below a certain temperature, these types of particles, which will be called bosons in memory of the Indian scientist, tend to adopt the same microscopic state: the Bose-Einstein condensate. This fifth state of matter passed from theory to reality 70 years later, when Carl Wieman and Eric Cornell managed to generate it in the laboratory of the University of Colorado at Boulder, a milestone that earned them the Nobel Prize in Physics in 2001. Cooling down the clouds of atoms at such low temperatures requires suspending them using magnets or lasers, but once they are turned off for observations, the condensates fall and dissipate. "We want to study the atoms and observe them for longer periods of time," says Thompson, "and that is only possible in microgravity." To be able to board the ISS, its creators have had to adapt the instruments to the station's strict requirements for mass, volume and power consumption, while achieving a design robust enough to function for years without need for maintenance. "Typically, experiments with Bose-Einstein condensate involve enough equipment to fill a room and require almost constant monitoring by scientists," Shotwell says. "While CAL is about the size of a small fridge and can be remotely operated from Earth."

  20. The electric vehicle company sold 205% more cars in May than in April after the revival of the Asian giant Various Tesla models ready for sale Wall Street cares little if Elon Musk says Tesla stocks are too expensive, as he noted a month ago in a gesture that left investors speechless. On Monday they set a record for the closing in the midst of a bullish current due to the gradual reopening of the economy in the United States. Its $ 949.92 - 7.62% higher - is a product of the prevailing climate and its promising numbers in China in May. The return to normality after the covid-19 crisis seems closer for the leading brand of electric vehicles worldwide. According to the China Passenger Vehicle Association, Tesla last month sold 11,095 of its Model 3s, the brand's most po[CENSORED]r vehicle, compared to less than 4,000 it shipped in April, even with the coronavirus wreaking havoc on the Asian giant economy. All those vehicles left their factory in Shanghai, released in late 2019. In total, the improvement has been 205% between April and May, with the goal of producing around 200,000 Model 3s a year and starting deliveries of the brand's Model Y, a compact SUV, in early 2021. According to the report by Wedbush Securities, a Los Angeles-based financial firm, Tesla's market penetration in China equals $ 300 a share, "with significant progress over the next 12 to 18 months in a standardized environment." They believe that in a bullish climate the action can go up to $ 1,350. That would help propel Musk onto the list of the world's richest men. Right now it is ranked number 31, according to Forbes, with more than $ 24 billion under its belt. Tesla confirmed in late May that Musk earned the right to receive a compensation package - valued at more than $ 770 million - for meeting certain goals, including maintaining the company's value above $ 100 billion. by market capitalization. At the close of today, the total exceeds 176,000 million. China is one of Musk's great ambitions. It is its main market outside the United States and number one worldwide in the field of electric vehicles. "Our goal is to make all vehicles electric," Musk said on one of his visits to Shanghai. "And still, even in China, a very small percentage of all cars are electric, which represents a very significant opportunity for all companies." Despite the direct competition it means for Chinese companies like BAIC Motor and BYD, the authorities of the Asian power have welcomed Tesla with open arms. Shanghai has done everything possible to accelerate the plant's opening after the pandemic, including donations and equipment to protect workers from the virus.

  21. In an hypersensitive and burdened Argentina before the economic crisis aggravated by the coronavirus, opponents of the Alberto Fernández government raised a slogan: "Venezuelización" Alberto Fernández, at the inauguration of a diesel refining plant in Buenos Aires The inexhaustible ability of Kirchnerism to change the agenda and surprise its political rivals comes back to the fore in Argentina: with the announcement of the intervention of a powerful agro-export firm and its almost certain expropriation, President Alberto Fernández opened a Pandora's box politico-economic and enabled the question. Is Vicentín the new YPF? Vicentín, with 7,000 employees, is the main Argentine oilseed milling company, and that is saying a lot in one of the largest soybean producers worldwide. It is also the largest biodiesel producer in the country, something that partly explains why the oil company YPF takes control of the company. Kirchnerism (and Peronism in general) has a long history of expropriations, also of privatizations and re-nationalizations. This is the case of YPF and Aerolineas Argentinas, privatized by the Peronist Carlos Menem in the 90s and nationalized by the Peronist Cristina Kirchner a little over a decade later. In an hypersensitive and burdened Argentina before an economic crisis that could reach unknown levels in the midst of the covid-19 pandemic, opponents of the Fernández government raised a slogan: "Venezuelization". Fernández, who was exhausted, irritated and hesitant on Monday when making the announcement, spent part of this Tuesday morning explaining in a radio interview that the decisions are made by him and not by Cristina, his vice president: "I say this publicly to finish fanning this black story that Cristina challenges me and gives me two screams to do what I don't want to do. That does not exist and I would not allow that to exist. " The phrase is dangerous in a country historically addicted to presidential authority, especially if the ruler is from Peronism. But beyond the political intrigues of the Casa Rosada, the question now in Argentina is why the government dares to expropriate a company that is large, but not monopolistic or essential, at a time when it is maintaining a delicate negotiation for the external debt with private creditors, to whom he says he does not have money to pay what was agreed. And the memory of the "YPF case" is unavoidable: Repsol expropriated in 2012, the then Minister of Economy, Axel Kicillof, who today governs the always turbulent province of Buenos Aires, assured that staying with the oil company would not cost Argentina anything. "What's more, they are going to have to pay us for environmental liabilities," he ventured. None of that: Argentina paid Repsol $ 5.6 billion, but it did so in bonds that imply $ 9 billion for the State today. As long as you don't reprogram them. And there is a pending trial in New York that could cost Argentina between 3,000 and 12,000 million dollars. That was a ruinous operation, recalled analyst Carlos Pagni, who warned that Fernández is requesting functions that correspond to the justice system by appointing an auditor in Vicentín. It could be "big business" for Sergio Nardelli, owner of Vicentín, "who will surely already be consulting lawyers to start a trial against the State." The government's idea is another: to keep Vicentín at zero cost, enforcing the debts that the company has with state banks and the Treasury.

  22. sabel Díaz Ayuso, J. L. Martínez Almeida and Clemente González, president of Ifema, today. Ifema today presented the expansion of the fairgrounds in Valdebebas in which it will invest 180 million euros until 2024 "after the painful parenthesis" of the CoVid-19, which has not diminished the self-confidence of one of the leading fairgrounds in Europe , which closed 2019 as the best year in its history, with a turnover of 187.2 million euros, and a profit of 22.5 million, doubling the previous year. The event, held outdoors in the place where the works will begin, very close to the Ciudad Deportiva del Real Madrid, was attended by the president of Ifema, Clemente González Soler; the general director, Eduardo López-Puertas; the president of the Community, Isabel Díaz Ayuso, and the mayor of the capital, José Luis Martínez-Almeida. "The ability to generate resources has allowed us to have muscle to face this expansion," said Clemente González. The Ifema expansion works will be undertaken in various phases on a plot that has a total area of 500,662 square meters and a maximum buildable area of 250,000 m2, which is already linked to the current premises with a large connection tunnel under the M -eleven. The mayor of Madrid indicated in his speech that Ifema "is going to be the symbol of the future of Madrid" for the next few years thanks to public-private collaboration and the unconditional support of the institutions. During his speech, the mayor recalled that in January the 40th anniversary of Ifema was celebrated, some years that, in the words of the mayor, "represented the best of the social, economic and cultural evolution of the region and the city", so "Ifema had become the symbol precisely of said transformation of the region and the city." Almeida stressed that he had achieved it with fundamental principles, such as public-private and inter-institutional collaboration without prejudice to the political color that governed at any time in the capital or in the Community. In this sense, the Madrid councilor valued the significant contribution of economic activity that Ifema makes to both the Community and the city of Madrid, since it represents 3.8% of GDP and 2.2%, respectively. Both the mayor and the president of the Community have fired the president of Ifema, Clemente González Soler, who is finishing his term at the head of Feria de Madrid, and whom they have given as an example of "irreproachable businessman". The regional president has thanked him "for all the effort he has always made without ever caring about his personal interests" and welcomed the "new stage" of the institution, which presents challenges such as the digitization and internationalization of Business. "Thank Clemente for all his work and the entire Ifema team, a symbol of Madrid," he remarked. For his part, the mayor stressed that if Ifema and Madrid have grown, it is thanks to González Soler, his "solidarity" and "the vision of a person from civil society who at one point decided to take a step forward" , believing that "public service was one of the most honorable ways of serving the country."

  24. The search for the bodies lengthens after screening just 10% of the mass of 1.7 million cubic meters of discharges A woman places flowers in front of the consistory of Eibar (Guipúzcoa), in memory of the two disappeared in Zalbibar. On February 6 at 4:40 p.m. the technical director of Verter Recycling telephoned a technician from the Basque Government's Department of the Environment to report that the Zaldibar landfill (Vizcaya) had collapsed. Four months later, the huge 1.7 cubic meter tongue of industrial waste - including asbestos - keeps the bodies of worker Alberto Solaluze and subcontracted technician Joaquín Beltrán trapped. A human and environmental catastrophe that is prolonged because the excavators have only managed to screen 8% of the total collapse and the causes of the tragedy are postponed by the judicial investigation, while the Basque Government points to the company and is angered by the unforeseen irruption of the European Union. The Iñigo Urkullu government faces the electoral campaign with the ballast of the Zaldibar landfill as a Damocles sword that questions its public management. The collapse of the private facility located on a hill next to Ermua undressed an elephant in the hall, which generated tax revenues of half a million euros per year and facilitated the cheap management of 511,000 tons of steel and waste from paper mills, including 4,253 tons of material. of construction with asbestos. Almost 2.8 million tons stored by a family clan company - headed by José Ignacio Barinaga - with only six workers on staff and who had subcontracted Joaquín Beltrán to manage the continuous arrival of industrial waste. According to the latest data from the Basque Government, the corpse search device has screened 137,755 cubic meters of rubble - out of a stored total of 1.7 million cubic meters - without locating either of the two workers. 60,000 NEIGHBORS MOBILIZED The autonomic Executive assumed from the afternoon of February 6 the emergency work, first, and the search and stabilization of the collapse, later, before the magnitude of an environmental catastrophe that has mobilized a large part of the 60,000 residents residing in municipalities such as Ermua, Eibar, Elgeta, Zalla, Markina and Zaldibar. Grouped on the Zaldibar Argitu platform -Clear Zaldibar, in Euskera-, hundreds of residents of these towns demonstrated this Saturday demanding not only the location of the buried workers, but demanding political responsibilities from the Basque Government for the lack of control of the landfill. The request for "responsibilities" in the shouts of the marches held in half a dozen municipalities in the area goes beyond the intense search work in which up to 100 people participate, among the technicians of several subcontracted companies, the workers of a dozen of heavy machines -excavators and trucks- and of emergency personnel and ertzainas with search dogs. A slow screening of tons of waste - on June 3, 2,192 cubic meters were screened - with results well below social expectations. The discovery of Alberto Sololuze's car turned into a jumble of irons on April 5 gave rise to the hope of a nearby discovery of the bodies, but the buckets of the excavators on the point of screening the entrance area to the landfill without finding a trace or Alberto or Joaquín Beltrán. The Basque Government has already budgeted an expenditure of nine million euros (with VAT) to meet the expenses made in these four months and on June 5, a first invoice of 3.4 million euros was issued to the company that is now studying the responsible for Verter Reciclyng. THE JUDICIAL INVESTIGATION Sources of the company assured that they have insurance policies and that they deposited a deposit of 1.1 million euros in 2012 when it began its activity. José Ignacio Barinaga's company faces two alleged crimes in the courts and three administrative files opened by the Basque Government and the Vizcaya Provincial Council as a result of a collapse that occurred two days after its workers detected cracks in the mass of spill. The judicial investigation opened in the Investigating Court number 1 of Bilbao has stopped the political and social debate on the causes of the tragedy and its responsibilities. The counselor Iñaki Arriola (PSE-EE) has stressed in his public appearances that the company was responsible for fulfilling the conditions established in the authorization to start the activity, granted in 2011, which were later modified allowing other materials such as asbestos to be stored. Arriola, pointed out by the opposition, explained in Parliament that, in both 2017 and 2018, settlement reports minimized the effect of "significant horizontal movements" on the landfill slope. And it showed a report from the Gipuzkoan company Lurtek, delivered by the Basque Government on January 21, 2020, which assured that the landfill was "stable". Just two weeks later the landfill collapsed along a 300-meter slope, 150 meters wide, until it stopped on the three lanes of the highway that connects Bilbao with San Sebastián. THE EUROPEAN INVESTIGATION The Basque Government must maintain before the European Union that it fulfilled its inspection and control obligations after the decision communicated last May 13 by the Commissioner for the Environment, Oceans and Fisheries, Virginijus Sinkevicius, to intervene after detecting the "serious deficiencies" in landfill and lack of administrative control. An answer to questions asked by MEPs from the PP and Citizens, which places Zaldibar on the EU's agenda in the face of the unrest of Lehendakari Urkullu. The also PNV candidate to be re-elected on July 12 knows that Zaldibar will be one of the pillars of the opposition to question his leadership. Carlos Iturgaiz, aspiring lehendakari for the Basque PP, denounced this Saturday next to the Zaldibar landfill "the thunderous silence" installed in the Basque Country to "hide the shame of the PNV". An argument with which Iturgaiz links Zaldibar with the patronage network of nationalists, especially with family companies that exploit public concessions such as quarries and landfills. Precisely, the PP, through its MEP Dolors Montserrat, is pressing in Brussels for the EU to analyze whether or not the management of Basque landfills meets European guidelines, and has already registered requests for information about the presence of asbestos in Zaldibar when This residue was not foreseen in an authorization granted in 2007 with Juan José Ibarretxe as lehendakari. The truth, demanded by the relatives of Sololuze and Beltrán, will also have to wait.

  25. The robust and austere Romanian SUV of the Dacia Duster is 10 years old and its Limited Anniversary Series is already adopting a new version powered by liquefied petroleum gas (LPG), less polluting and more economical. Also more practical, since the car is awarded the ECO label of the DGT that allows to overcome some restrictions of entry to the center of the main cities. Dacia already offers versions of this type of fuel in its entire range of passenger cars. The Dacia Duster TCe 100 ECO-G GLP is sold in Spain for 16,700 euros. Underlines the brand's philosophy of affordable prices, robust and spacious vehicles with appreciable standard quality. The Dusters manage to overcome the 1,000 kilometer barrier without refueling thanks to their two tanks: the petrol tank, with a capacity of 50 liters, and the LPG tank, with 42. The data collected by the Renault Group company from the Spanish Association of Liquefied Petroleum Gas Operators (AOGLP) is remarkable: LPG fuel emits 68% less nitrogen dioxide and 12% less compared to gasoline CO2. It is also noted that the annual savings that can be generated by filling the tank can be 37%. A common stumbling block to accessing this more sustainable technology has been the shortage of service stations with availability of LPG, but it is already being rectified throughout the Spanish territory, where this fuel can be found in 600 gas stations that cover all regions. LPG increases the life of the gasoline engine, since its combustion is cleaner and stops the deterioration of mechanical components. LPG is not the only news from the Dusters, who have already sold 100,000 units in Spain. The version with the turbocharged three-cylinder Turbo Control Efficiency engine reaches the range with 100 HP of power and a maximum torque of 160 Nm accessible in low ranges, according to Dacia. It complies with the Euro6Dtemp standard and must not exceed the emission of 100 grams of CO2 per kilometer. The price of the Dacia Duster Prestige TCe 100 is 16,000 euros and is available at the brand's dealers in Spain.

  26. The Malaga actor faces the main promotional campaign for Andalusian Tourism, with a very emotional message focused on Andalusians and the national visitor The vice president of the Board, Juan Marín, along with Javier Banderas, brother of actor Antonio Banderas. EFE After years beating visitor and income records, Turismo Andaluz faces an uncertain summer, marked by the coronavirus pandemic, and which the tourism sector is trying to save by seducing the national market and transmitting confidence abroad. A hope that the Andalusian Government has wanted to embody in the face of the actor Antonio Banderas, who once again becomes the image of a promotional campaign. The vice president of the Board and counselor for Tourism, Regeneration, Justice and Local Administration, Juan Marín, has appeared this Friday in Malaga to present the promotional action for the Andalusia destination and which is gaining momentum after the first data on hotel reservations -60 and 75 per One hundred in July and August, respectively-, the announcement of a fifteen airlines to start operating with the Costa del Sol within a month and a move to phase 3 of the de-escalation that will allow inter-provincial transfers. Marín has made a play on words with the surname of the interpreter from Malaga to state that "today we are giving the 'starting signal' to this summer campaign." "It will not be the same as others" because "we will not break last year's records again, but we will begin the path of growth, because the forecasts for this year and for 2021 are again magnificent", assured the counselor, who has predicted that This summer period "will be better than many said." "We have to give the best version of ourselves," the leader of Ciudadanos has stressed to underscore a message of optimism that he believes Antonio Banderas perfectly embodies. He is someone "motivated by love for this land" and who, after the heart attack suffered a few years ago, "invites you to bring out the best in yourself, even in the worst moments." The actor, who could not be present at the event, wanted to express himself through a full video in which he defends the Andalusian spirit "to get ahead": "We have been victims, like the rest of humanity, of a pandemic which has left not only a very important health crisis but very serious collateral damage. But we are Andalusian, we are going to continue, we believe in hope, we have courage, courage, strength and I believe that we are going to know how to unite so that, together, we can move towards forward our economy, our workers, the people who are suffering, supporting them [...] Surely we have all learned something from what has happened to us. And we have to put it into practice now. Go ahead, Andalusia ". STRATEGY The campaign has a cost of 400,000 euros, to which must be added the 300,000 invested in two other advertising initiatives that revolve around the distinctive 'Safe Andalusia'. One of them, which will start next Monday, June 8, will be held through social networks and aims to inform companies how they can get the seal. ADVERTISING Ads by Teads The second will begin on the 22nd of this month and will be aimed at the general public, so that they know that those places and businesses where the badge appears comply with all the regulations of the World Health Organization (WHO), the Government of Spain and of the Junta de Andalucía. Juan Marín has assured that even the Minister of Tourism, Reyes Maroto, has given this stamp as an example for other autonomous communities to replicate. In this first week, as detailed, more than 15,000 businesses have already been interested in this label, and more than 170 have already obtained it. Andalusian Tourism has revealed that at the same time another series of promotional actions will be developed under the idea of "the desire we all have to travel and receive those who want to visit Andalusia". In this way, travel agencies will be supported "for being one of the key players in the tourism sector, for connecting the traveler with many tourism professionals and for being essential in helping travelers improve their experience." Taking into account that 20 of the 32 million visitors who chose Andalusia as their vacation destination were national tourists, a campaign specifically aimed at Andalusians with the message "Andalusia wants you" will be launched. In addition to being present in the main communication media of the community, it will serve to publicize the first virtual fair organized by the Ministry of Tourism -an event that will put professionals and consumers in contact with the aim of capturing the first reservations a Once there are no mobility restrictions. The strategy will be completed with various initiatives aimed at visitors from other regions of the country, encompassed under the slogan "I want you to come" and which will be present in a special way in the bordering communities -Castilla-La Mancha, Extremadura and Murcia- with insertions advertising on media websites. The counselor, who regretted the deterrent effect that the 14-day quarantine approved by the Central Executive can have for foreign visitors, points out that, when international tourism is reactivated, they will affect the German, French, Portuguese, Italian and Belgian markets. , Dutch and Luxembourgish. Although it has been considered to include the United Kingdom, the main issuing country, the health circumstances for the time being discourage a specific campaign. As the "green corridors" between countries are opened, new advertising actions will be activated. This initiative, "full of feelings and hope", will "go around the world and help the sector to face this tough stage, but we are going to continue to be very strengthened", said the counselor, who stated that, after the reformulation of the Action Plan, the Ministry of Tourism invests 22.5 million euros in communication and promotion of the destination.

  28. The Spanish Association of Automotive Suppliers (Sernauto) expects the auxiliary industry to experience a "sharp drop" in its turnover this year, with a drop of between 20% and 30% of revenue and between 6% and 10% of direct employment. As indicated by Sernauto, the crisis caused by the coronavirus pandemic has accentuated the "complex" situation in the sector, which was previously undergoing an "unprecedented" industrial and technological transformation. Even so, automobile suppliers will maintain their investment in research, development and innovation (R + D + i), in which they spend 4.1% of their turnover, "triple" the Spanish industrial average, as claimed by Sernauto. "These figures demonstrate, once again, the pressing need to implement a shock plan that allows for a faster revival of the sector, also combined with a medium and long-term country plan given the strategic role it plays in the economy and Spanish society ", stressed the association. As for the end of 2019, the automotive suppliers installed in Spain reduced their turnover by 3.6%, to 35,822 million euros, despite the fact that world vehicle production fell by 5.2% last year. "The reduction in vehicle production worldwide, uncertainty and commercial tensions, together with the profound transformation process that the sector is facing (mobility, autonomous driving, digitization and electrification), have made the turnover figure of Automotive suppliers installed in Spain in 2019 will be slightly reduced, "said Sernauto. In this way, there was also a reduction in direct employment of 2%, so that at the end of 2019 the sector employed about 225,400 people, 5,000 fewer people than in 2018. Among other figures, investment in R + D + i amounted to almost 1,460 million euros, while the sector's exports fell by 3.1%, to 20,754 million, almost 60% of its turnover. In the national market, 15,068 million euros entered, of which 9,798 million correspond to supplies of equipment and components (-4.6%) and 5,270 million come from the spare parts market (-3.9%). "We cannot afford to lose the leadership we now have at the European and global level because this would seriously affect the employment and well-being of millions of families. It is time to innovate, work together and boost the supply and demand for vehicles" , the general director of Sernauto, José Portilla, has added.

  30. The 'youtuber' Marta Díaz starred in a fun moment when she messed with Broncano in a huge plastic ball Marta Díaz visited La Resistencia in her delivery issued in the early hours of June 3-4. The 'youtuber' went to promote her book Everything I Never Told You, in which she answers 100 questions from her fans. In the program he also answered the classic questions that they usually ask guests. The guest did not give an exact number when it came to revealing how much money she has in the bank, but instead shared which band the figure was in. While he doubted, David Broncano jokingly asked him to tell what his brother David has, better known as AlphaSniper97 and who is also a 'youtuber'. The young woman finally shared that her fortune is between 300,000 and 500,000 euros. The presenter reacted with applause and then laughed. He pointed to a person in the audience and commented: "This girl has taken a hot flash. She said: 'But what do I do without TikTok? But what do I do with a Gmail e-mail as if nothing? What do I do? doing excel sheets here? 'What a disgust you have given people. " THE SEX QUESTION The 'influencer' also replied how many times had she had sex in the past 30 days. He indicated that "few" due to confinement. David Broncano asked if she was away from her partner, Sergio Reguilón, player of Sevilla. The interviewee clarified that she does not live with her boyfriend after saying: "Well, few, none, because I am not with him, I am at home." The presenter expressed the doubt that this answer had generated in him: "Few or none? Ojo. Go messed up ... Oh, my God." Ricardo Castella added fuel to the fire when he added: "I few and he none, I think." She stressed after a laugh: "None, none, zero, zero, really." The humorist concluded: "What a sudden suffocation, huh? You fall into a linguistic confusion and it leads to ruin." YOUR CHALLENGE WITH BRONCANO Marta Díaz starred in a fun moment at the end of her interview in La Resistencia. He accepted the challenge Broncano proposed and the two ended up getting into a huge plastic ball. It was the same one with which the presenter had arrived on the stage of the Teatro Arlequín in Madrid, in order to avoid having contact with people present in the audience. She confessed that she did not quite understand what the humorist had in mind. "Meternos the two is unfeasible," he declared at first. Then he proposed to the 'youtuber': "Do you want to try it yourself to go out bumping into things?". She pointed out that she couldn't go through the door: "I don't see it at all." It occurred to the presenter that the two of them would fit inside, standing back to back. Both decided to go ahead with this crazy challenge. Díaz was the first to get into the ball and then Broncano, getting on the sofa and with enough difficulties, managed to follow in his footsteps.

  34. The former director faces an "unfriendly" negotiation in front of unions, the Government and the Generalitat In trade union and business spheres, it was surprising that Nissan Motors appointed the Spanish Frank Torres to carry out the closure of Nissan Motor Ibérica's industrial activity in Barcelona, scheduled for the end of this year. The appointment also left in an uncomfortable situation who was still CEO of Nissan Motor Ibérica and director of Zona Franca, Genis Alonso. The Catalan executive in charge of the liquidation of Nissan in Barcelona worked for a decade in the Spanish section of the Japanese company and reached command between 2011 and 2017, a time when his encounters with workers and his unfulfilled promises were sounded, they recall, with which you will have to battle. ADVERTISING Promote health. Save lives. Serve the vulnerable. Visit who.int Negotiation with the Spanish administrations is not going to be friendly either, as the Secretary General for Industry and SMEs, Raül Blanco, literally warned last Monday. President Quim Torra also ratified it after meeting with the leadership of the Generalitat. They will be meetings in Catalan, since the liquidator appointed by Nissan is from Tarragona. The game board is completed by an indignant union part with the world leaders of Nissan and now with Torres and the European CEO, Gianluca de Clichy. "They have ended up killing a brand at a Spanish and European level," said the works council. BUSINESS HEAD IN RUSSIA The knowledge of Catalan society, the factory and its iron-clad attitudes - but with a negotiating profile - have made natural selection so that Frank Torres temporarily leaves his office in Moscow, where he has been director of Nissan in Russia since last spring. He landed in Barcelona two weeks ago and now he will have to roll up his sleeves so that the closure of what was his factory develops as the Japanese company intends. Spain has already said that the exit will cost Nissan 1,000 million euros, although it maintains its offer of a permanency plan that Nissan has ruled out. IT BROUGHT THE PULSAR AND THE NV200 Torres grew like foam at Nissan after he joined the Spanish delegation in 2007 as a Production Engineering analyst. In 2011, he was appointed CEO of Nissan Motor Ibérica SA and remained at the forefront until 2017, when he began to thrive in the European fabric as vice president of Corporate Strategy for Nissan Europe and head of the Office of Management Programs. During his term in the Free Trade Zone, he achieved the arrival of new models that on the one hand gave him a certain air, but did not free him from breathing a climate of strong union conflict, because they demanded sacrifices from the workers. Unfortunately, one of the models, the compact Nissan Pulsar (2014) was unsuccessful and four years after the start of its manufacture in Barcelona it was removed from the range of the Japanese brand. The Nissan NV200 commercial continues to be produced at the plant, which is barely 20% full capacity today. UNKEPT PROMISES What the workers most remember about Torres were his promises that did not come true. He promised a production of 200,000 cars, which was not fulfilled; with the arrival of Pulsar, it executed job cuts in exchange for 1,000 jobs that did not arrive. He promised that number of new jobs again when the factory accepted the manufacture of the Navara and it was not a reality either. Workers at the Ávila plant also complained of a breach by Torres: He promised to manufacture the NT500 truck, which also failed to produce more than 7,000 units. According to the criteria of

  35. Protesters defy curfew in major US cities, and the fifth night of race riots brings new clashes with police and looting in shops, with the National Guard deployed to contain the protests. The United States is living a new night of protests and riots despite the declared curfews in the main cities, when it is a week after the death of George Floyd, an African-American man who died of suffocation during an arrest at the hands of several white policemen in Minneapolis. A PEACEFUL PROTEST IS DISPERSED NEXT TO THE WHITE HOUSE SO THAT TRUMP CAN TAKE A PHOTO In the capital, Washington DC, some protesters continue to march in the city center, despite security forces trying to disperse them. Some groups are throwing stones and breaking store windows. After 23.00 local time (5.00 am Spanish time), there were still protesters in the streets and a military helicopter was flying over the area in an attempt to disperse the crowd by flying at low altitude to create a strong wind and to raise the dirt and grit from the ground. Minutes before the curfew, which began at 7:00 pm local time (1:00 Spanish time), the police dispersed with rubber balls and tear gas the protesters gathered next to the White House so that President Donald Trump could leave walk shortly after and take a photo with a Bible next to a nearby church. Trump has effectively posed for the cameras in front of the boarded-up windows of the church, in whose basement a fire broke out Sunday night amid intense riots. LOOTS ON NEW YORK'S FIFTH AVENUE Meanwhile, in New York, at sunset, the first looting began on the fifth consecutive day of protests in the city for the death of Floyd. At 9 p.m. local time, the huge Microsoft store on luxurious Fifth Avenue has been looted by young protesters despite large wooden planks placed on the doors of the establishment to try to avoid an attack, which have been ripped off. . The first assaults on stores occurred despite the significant police presence in the area, with several vehicles just two blocks from Microsoft. The security forces, however, were trying to maintain order in the privileged area of the Big Apple, where massive peaceful demonstrations were seen in the early afternoon, which have later turned into violence. After finally attending the Microsoft store, the police have arrested one of the assailants, despite the fact that dozens of people entered the store to steal electronic products, and have arrested at least two more people soon after in the vicinity . Nor have the stores of Nintendo, Michael Kors, Kate Spade or Barnes and Noble on Fifth Avenue been spared from the looting, while the police have clashed with a group of young people who broke into an establishment located at the Rockefeller Center. A CAR ROLLS THE POLICE IN BUFFALO In Buffalo, in New York State, a car has run over a group of police officers and left at least two wounded, the New York Times reports. Both the driver of the vehicle and other occupants have been detained. FOUR POLICIES INJURED BULLET IN SAN LUÍS Four police officers have been wounded by gunfire in a clash with protesters in St. Louis, Missouri state, Reuters reports. They have been transferred to the hospital although there is no fear for their lives, the state police have confirmed in a tweet. LACRIMOGENIC GASES AND 52 DETAINED IN ATLANTA Meanwhile, in Atlanta, the police have swept the streets of the center in an attempt to disperse the protests after the curfew took effect at 9:00 p.m. The CNN television network points out that the protesters have thrown stones at the agents who have responded with tear gas. Shortly after, the situation has calmed down, although the city police have reported that at least 52 people have been arrested on Monday. CHALLENGE TO THE CURRENT IN LOS ANGELES Meanwhile, on the west coast in Los Angeles, police have arrested dozens of people who remained on the street after the curfew began at Sunset Boulevar, in Hollywood, according to local media reports. Looting has also been reported on Van Nuys Boulevard. A BRIDGE BLOCKED BY DEMONSTRATORS IN TEXAS In another part of the country, in Texas, there have been altercations between protesters who had closed a bridge in Dallas and the police, who have proceeded to arrest them. Officers have fired tear gas at participants in the protest, some of whom have been detained. Many of them have sat on the ground to prevent the police from advancing across the bridge. LOOTS IN SEVERAL NEIGHBORHOODS OF CHICAGO On the other hand, in Chicago, in the state of Illinois, thousands of people participated in peaceful protests in the Lakeview and Uptown areas, and looting has occurred in various neighborhoods.

  37. It will reduce its global workforce by 15,000 people, 4,600 of them in France. But in Spain the capacity of the factories that it has in Valladolid, Palencia and Seville will not be touched. Renault has presented this Friday an adjustment plan with which it intends to reduce its annual cost structure by about 2,150 million euros and which will mean the elimination of some 15,000 jobs in the world, never traumatic, of which 4,600 in France. The adjustment, however, will not affect (or only marginally, in the case of some early retirements) the activities of the company in Spain. "There will be no reduction in the capacity of the factories that we have in Spain," said Clotilde Debos, interim CEO of the company. The French multinational has three industrial locations in Palencia, Valladolid and Seville where it produces cars (the Kadjar, Captur and Mégane models), engines and gearboxes. Its total workforce, including the commercial and networking part, amounts to some 11,000 people. 20% LESS WORLD PRODUCTION Also as part of this strategy, Renault will reduce its production capacities from four million vehicles in 2019 to 3.3 million in the 2024 horizon. Although in this case, the Spanish factories are in a much better position than that of Nissan in Barcelona, whose closure for the month of December was announced yesterday. In fact, compared to the 55,000 vehicles of the Catalan factory, the two of its ally in Spain mounted 477,000 vehicles last year, more than 10% of the group's world production and only 3% less than the year before. In addition, they are recognized for their high competitiveness and, thanks to the different industrial plans implemented in recent years, they have achieved high-demand automobiles, the case of SUVs. Some projects that have involved the investment since 2016 of about 750 million euros. FIRST PLUG-IN HYBRID IN THE BRAND, 'SPANISH' As a result, for example, the Valladolid facilities exclusively assemble the small Captur SUV that has already started to be produced in its plug-in hybrid variant. It is the first car of the French group to use this technology, which will also be implemented in the compact Mégane that is made in Palencia. The last industrial plan that companies and unions approved in these factories ends this year. This opens a door to seek opportunities for a future allocation of new models that will be conditioned by two factors. On the one hand, the French government's push for Renault not to relocate and, on the contrary, to focus strategic activities in the country, in the case of electric vehicles that the brand has assured it will develop and manufacture in France, including a new 100-battery kWh. In addition, it remains to be seen how the new global strategy of the Renault-Nissan-Mitsubishi alliance that establishes a distribution of regions and product development according to a leader-follower model operates. Under it, Renault will lead Europe and small SUVs, while medium-sized SUVs will be the responsibility of Nissan. Then, its production will be carried out where it is most competitive, which has not yet been decided but could mean, for example, that Renault assumed in Spain the production of the Captur models and its Nissan Juke counterpart; and its Japanese ally the Qashqai and the Kadjar in the facilities of Sunderland (United Kingdom) and which has remained its only factory on the Old Continent.

  38. Two NASA astronauts are traveling for the first time in a ship built by a private company. SpaceX yesterday suffered the explosion of Starship, another of its vehicles, during a test in Texas Douglas Hurley and Robert Behnken are already in space. The two NASA astronauts took off this Saturday, on time, at 3:22 p.m. local time (9:22 p.m. in Spain), starring in the first manned space trip in History aboard a ship that is not owned by a State, but by a company privately, SpaceX, the company created by South African-American billionaire Elon Musk. It is the first time since the space shuttle Atlantis returned on July 11, 2011 that the United States managed to send a crew into space on a rocket made in that country. In these almost nine years, he has had to use Russian rockets launched from the Baikonur (Kazakhstan) cosmodrome to send his crews to the International Space Station (ISS). The launch of the Crew Dragon has been achieved in the second attempt, since last Wednesday the bad weather forced to postpone the takeoff just a quarter of an hour before the scheduled time, when the two crew were already ready to begin their journey. This morning, the probability that time would allow the launch was only 50%. Just an hour before takeoff, it rose to 70%, and at 9:22 pm, the spacecraft took off from the mythical 39A platform of Florida's Kennedy Space Center. Accompanied by their wives, the President, Donald Trump, and the Vice President, Mike Pence, have not wanted to miss the start of this important mission that will allow the United States to stop depending on the Russian Soyuz ships to send their astronauts into space, for a fee. $ 86 million per ticket. "I am very proud of NASA," said Trump. All four were among the very few invited to launch due to the coronavirus crisis. The staff that has approached these two NASA astronauts these days to prevent them from contracting Covid-19 has also been reduced to the maximum. PRIVATE BUSINESSES To regain its own ship, Washington has had the support of the eccentric Musk, since both the Falcon 9 rocket and the Crew Dragon capsule, in which Hurley and Behnken travel, have been manufactured by Space X. One of the axes of space exploration of the future will be the greater involvement of private companies, which are expected to develop and operate their own rockets and ships that will lower costs and allow more people and institutions to travel to space. Both the SpaceX Crew Dragon and the Starliner spacecraft that Boeing is developing - and that will also transfer NASA astronauts to the ISS - are being closely supervised by NASA engineers. With this flight, the United States also removes a thorn in its national prestige, which had suffered a blow after the withdrawal of the expensive shuttle program, an attempt to create a kind of 'space plane' that not only did not fulfill all the expectations, but ended with two of its ships destroyed - the Challenger, in 1986, and the Columbia, in 2003 - in two accidents that caused the death of all the members of its crews. Now Washington's goal is not to make Falcon 9 and Crew Dragon make Russian rockets unnecessary, but to combine the use of those systems with those of SpaceX, and also allow Moscow to use squares in its new ships. In addition to SpaceX, in the future they will become part of the rocket and capsule crew launch kits manufactured by Boeing, a company that was devastated by its 737-MAX airliner and, now, the crisis of the Air travel due to the coronavirus has put it on the brink of bankruptcy and in need of a rescue from the State. That is not the case with SpaceX. Since its inception in 2002, the company has been at the forefront of the nascent private space exploration sector, managing to send spacecraft at space at a lower cost than NASA. Its declared objective is to initiate tourist flights to space in less than two years, a plan for which the launch today from Cape Canaveral is an essential step. In fact, the launch has been a major advertising hit for Musk, exemplified by, for example, the fact that Hurley and Behnken arrived on the rocket at Teslas, electric cars manufactured by the company of the same name, also founded and directed by Musk, whose fortune is estimated by the Bloomberg news agency at $ 41 billion (€ 36.9 billion). The main objective of this trip is none other than to check the reliability of the Falcon 9 and the Crew Dragon, so that both are authorized to carry out more missions for NASA and, in the near future, operate completely privately for SpaceX. EXPLOSION OF A SPACEX PROTOTYPE The high anticipation for the launch of the Crew Dragon today was partially overshadowed in the last few hours by the explosion of another SpaceX vehicle, Starship SN4. The prototype of this reusable vehicle that Elon Musk intends to use for his ambitious private exploration program - with planned trips to the Moon and even Mars - has been totally destroyed after a spectacular explosion that has caused a large fireball during a test of their Raptor engines in Boca Chica Texas, with no injuries reported. SpaceX has not yet reported the cause of this accident during a static test in which only the engines were started.
