Nvidia's 4000-series is too close to release to be dropping serious money on today's hyper-expensive GPUs. The fact some graphics cards have dropped below their MSRPs for the first time since release is absolutely good news. The perfect storm of a cryptocurrency crash and the current generation nearing the end of its natural life means the hunger for Nvidia's Ampere and AMD's RDNA 2 GPUs is abating. The thing many of us have been waiting two years for is finally coming to fruition, but that doesn't necessarily mean now is the best time to upgrade your graphics card. Our sister site, Tom's Hardware, has been tracking graphics card prices for a while now, and the latest figures show plenty of cards at far more tempting prices. There are even a few that are below the official MSRPs, although it's telling which cards are, as it tends to be the most expensive offerings. You can for instance grab the GeForce RTX 3090 Ti for around $1,800 at some retailers, which is $200 less than the $2,000 MSRP. It's a similar story for the RTX 3080 Ti, AMD Radeon RX 6950 XT, and the RX 6900 XT, which have all dropped down to less than their original listing prices. It's as you head down the product stacks that the reductions are less impactful though, with our fave GPU of this generation, the Nvidia GeForce RTX 3080, still sitting some 10% above its MSRP at around $770-$800. Our next pick, the AMD Radeon RX 6800 XT, can be had for the same money. This begs the question though, at what point do you pull the trigger and grab one of these much sought-after cards? Well, hold that thought a second, because there's a reason the more expensive cards have seen bigger price drops, and that will impact the pick of the bunch too the next-generation cards are imminent. We may have been waiting for GPU prices to normalise for two years, but it's hardly like the red and green teams have been sat twiddling their thumbs in that time. Both Nvidia's Ada Lovelace and AMD's RDNA 3 will be released before the year closes out—potentially as early as September—and they're both promising big improvements on the current generation. We're in deep rumour territory here, but leakers have suggested the RTX 4090 will offer up to 2x performance of the 3090 at 4K. It won't be 2x gen-on-gen with every GPU, but we'd expect to see a decent performance uplift across the whole product stack. Even if that means the RTX 4080 equivalent is just, say 50% better than the RTX 3080, that still makes dropping $700 on the current-gen card today look questionable if the new one is potentially just three months from launch. Even allowing for a price increase due to the high demands on TSMC's production lines, the proposed uplift in performance still makes the next-gen cards the ones worth holding out for. At the very least you should find that the current generation of cards will continue to drop in price if there is still a wealth of cards sitting on the shelves, so holding off isn't going to bite you on the ass either. We're expecting the high-end cards to be released first, exactly as they did this generation, making these difficult to recommend right now. The likes of the RTX 3060 Ti, and lower, aren't expected to be replaced until well into 2023 though, so those are the cards that are worth keeping an eye on as they near their MSRPs. Although right now, RTX 3060 Tis are still selling for $100 more than their $400 launch price, so there's no rush here. One thing that could happen, of course, is that Nvidia and AMD could respond to a potential glut of graphics cards by holding off the release of the next-gen cards. Even if this were to happen, there's surely a limit to how long either would want to wait, which means any delay might not be for particularly long. Maybe pushing the release to the end of a month as opposed to the start, due to the demands on silicon production. There's a caveat to all of this of course, and that's if you do need a new graphics card right now if yours suddenly dies for example then that puts you in a very different place than if you just fancied an upgrade. If that's the situation, then you could make a case for picking up the best of the current crop. Although that's going to make for some nervous times as we head into the autumn and the benchmarks for the next generation cards start to appear. It's great that we're finally seeing GPUs at their MSRPs, but it's important not to be blinded by the fact they're available at close to MSRP or even below. It's taken so long to get here, that the next-gen is just around the corner. If you possibly can, therefore, it's worth holding off for now if your upgrade sights are pointed towards the top of the GPU stack. But if your aim is lower down the stack, things are looking good, as they still won't be replaced for a while yet. https://www.pcgamer.com/dont-buy-an-rtx-3080-now/

Apple is facing a £750 million (US$918 million) lawsuit in Britain after a consumer rights champion today filed a claim accusing the US tech giant of secretly slowing down older iPhone models. Justin Gutmann says Apple “throttled” the performance of older iPhone handsets after users installed upgrades that they were told would improve the performance of their device. He claims Apple never told users that the update could slow their device and that the tool was introduced to mask the inability of older iPhone batteries to cope with the demands of newer operating systems. Apple said in a statement that “we have never – and would never – do anything to intentionally shorten the life of any Apple product or degrade the user experience to drive customer upgrades. “Our goal has always been to create products that our customers love, and making iPhones last as long as possible is an important part of that,” it added. Gutmann’s claim with the Competition Appeal Tribunal seeks damages for 25 million iPhone users to the tune of £768 million. The complaint revolves around a power management tool included in a 2017 software update, which slowed down older iPhone models and prevented abrupt shutdowns as they struggled with the overhead of a new operating system. Gutmann says Apple never told users that the update could slow a user’s device and claims the tool was introduced to prevent costly repairs or recalls. “Instead of doing the honourable and legal thing by their customers and offering a free replacement, repair service or compensation, Apple instead misled people by concealing a tool in software updates that slowed their devices by up to 58%,” said Gutmann. “I’m launching this case so that millions of iPhone users across the UK will receive redress for the harm suffered by Apple’s actions”. Apple apologised at the time and said it would replace batteries at cut price and would allow users to turn off the power management tool manually. It has faced legal action in several countries over the issue and agreed to pay up to US$500 million to owners of older models in the US in 2020. French authorities fined the group €25 million in the same year for failing to warn that updates could slow down older models. The claim seeks compensation for owners of the iPhone 6, 6 Plus, 6S, 6S Plus, SE, 7, 7 Plus, 8, 8 Plus and iPhone X models. https://www.freemalaysiatoday.com/category/business/2022/06/16/apple-faces-750-mil-lawsuit-over-iphone-software-update/

National Hardware Limited (NHL) today opened its new $400 million superstore located next to its existing establishments at Industrial Site Ruimveldt, Greater Georgetown. This new facility features a wide variety of hardware and industrial products in a more modern setting complemented with spacious aisles and air-conditioning. NHL’s Managing Director Eddie Boyer, during the commissioning ceremony, expressed that this new store adds to the company’s already impressive establishments – which he contends, provide all of the hardware needs of the country. “…sometimes I can’t remember what we have in stock, but we have it,” Boyer remarked. He noted that the design of this newest facility is influenced by NHL’s US-based partner, Do It Best. “This flagship store, which has been patterned by Do it Best, was designed by Do it Best and this is their modeling…” A unique factor to consider, Boyer explained, is that the building of the store was done by locals. “In most countries, Do it Best normally send their people to do these stores but this one, they didn’t because of COVID and we managed to do every single thing locally, all the designing, fitting up the racks, assembling the store, everything…and they were so surprised…,” Boyer revealed. Meanwhile, delivering feature remarks at the ceremony, Minister of Tourism, Industry, and Commerce Oneidge Walrond posited that an investment of this magnitude speaks to the confidence of the private sector in the Guyanese economy. “I’m advised that this is significant facility, covering some 10,000sqft of showroom space and 4000sqft of warehousing space…each new establishment, each new expansion, each new investment, serves to confirm your confidence, not only in our country’s economy but also in our stewardship of affairs,” the Minister said. She noted too that this investment will support the government’s aggressive housing drive. “Many of the products, which will make their way into thousands of homes, which we, as government, are determined to make available to our citizens, will be supplied by companies such as National Hardware. And in order to make all these products available to citizens, government has reduced, or completely remove taxes of a wide range of building materials,” Walrond reminded. “The second objective which can be impacted by the establishment and expansion of businesses like this is government’s objective of developing our manufacturing sector to become locally, regionally and internationally competitive.” “It is here that we have a special opportunity through firms like National Hardware and others like it, to develop, promote, and showcase our quality, locally manufactured building products,” the Minister added. Also attending the event were President of the American Chamber of Commerce and Industry Guyana (AmCham) Devindra Kissoon and President of the Georgetown Chamber of Commerce and Industry (GCCI) Timothy Tucker, both of whom congratulated the NHL team on the opening on their newest establishment. “This partnership has caused National Hardware to embark on a completely new trajectory, a trajectory of greatness of which it was always destined for,” Kissoon remarked. “Evolution, that is what we are looking at, you’re looking at a family business that is evolving at a rapid pace and to embrace the needs of Guyana and of course Guyanese in general,” Tucker expressed. https://www.inewsguyana.com/national-hardware-opens-new-400m-superstore/

According to the Chilean media, the goalkeeper has proposals from Aucas and Liga de Quito. His wife doesn't want to stay in Santiago either. Hernán Galíndez (l), goalkeeper of the Ecuadorian national team Hernán Galíndez, an Ecuadorian nationalized Argentine goalkeeper who plays for the University of Chile, has asked to leave the Santiago club by denouncing "harassment" on social networks after FIFA ruled in favor of Ecuador in the Byron Castillo case. The National Association of Professional Football (ANFP) sued the planetary football body for an alleged irregularity in the nationality of the current player of the León de México, with the aim of qualifying for the Qatar 2022 World Cup. Last Friday, FIFA dismissed the claim and the Araucanian leadership specified that they will appeal the decision and ultimately go to the Court of Arbitration for Sport (TAS). “Hernán Galíndez is pressing for a quick exit from the University of Chile. The Ecuadorian goalkeeper, who participated in the delegation that played the friendly in which his team won Cape Verde by the minimum score, seeks to disassociate himself as soon as possible from the team that trains in La Cisterna, ”says a note published this Wednesday in the newspaper The Third of Santiago. “Acusa is being harassed on social networks after the fall of FIFA against Chile, according to information collected by El Deportivo. He claims to be uncomfortable. To the point that his wife has already warned him that she does not want to continue living in Santiago,” added the newspaper. According to the version of the Chilean newspaper, the goalkeeper communicated his wish to the university coach and his representative is already making arrangements for his departure. “Galíndez, through his representative, Rodrigo Abadie, has been negotiating with Azul Azul for several days. This Monday, even, on his return to the club, he already personally transmitted to Diego López, the new blue DT, his desire to leave the institution. He has also discussed it with the sports manager, Manuel Mayo. He wants to leave as soon as possible”, indicates the site. “In the university they want the goalkeeper to respect his contract that unites him with the club until December 2023. They know that within their squad they have a World Cup player who can bring them an important sale for the future, especially after Qatar 2022 ″, added The Third. The newspaper mentions that Galíndez, who was a member of the Catholic University of Quito, has proposals from Aucas and the Quito League.

"Venezuela was fixed" is a phrase that has been circulating for months on social networks creating controversy inside and outside the South American country. Many pronounce it with a strong charge of irony, while others see in it the reflection of changes that have been taking place in recent years and that point to improvements in some of the serious economic problems that the country has faced in recent years. Some users attribute that phrase to a supposed strategy of the government of Nicolás Maduro to project a more favorable image. The Venezuelan president, however, has not endorsed that sustained, although he has wanted to gain revenue from the recent changes in that country. "Venezuela today can say that we deserve the Nobel Prize in Economics because we have gone ahead alone, alone, humbly alone with the Bolivarian economic agenda," Maduro said at the end of March, who sees how certain liberalization policies are having positive consequences. . A month later, he made direct reference to the phrase. "Some people have come out to say that 'Venezuela has been fixed'. No, it hasn't been fixed. It is improving, Venezuela is going to improve, grow, but there is still a lot to do," he stressed at an event with entrepreneurs, according to local media reports. Maduro affirmed that Venezuela deserves the Nobel Prize in Economics. Luis Vicente León, president of the consulting firm Datanalisis, points out that the perception of improvement depends on the point of comparison and that Venezuelans have just experienced a "macro-crisis" in 2018, in which they experienced "brutal hyperinflation", with food shortages. and medicines throughout the country; in which you had to stand in long queues to buy basic products and that these times were obtained above their international price. In addition, people could go to jail for carrying out operations with dollars. “So, when you compare yourself against 2018, there is no doubt that you are better off,” says León, who warns, however, that between 2013 and 2021 the Venezuelan economy shrank by 75% and that in the last year there was hardly any a growth of between 6% and 8%. "It's like a plane that was flying at 10,000 feet and started to plummet and before it hits the ground it manages to lift its nose and now it's flying at 2,500 feet. It didn't crash, but it's a long way from its initial height." comment. The effect of this long crisis is reflected in the daily reality of Venezuelans, as shown by the Encovi study on living conditions, carried out in 2021 by the Andrés Bello Catholic University and which reveals, for example, that there are 24.8% of Venezuelans in a situation of extreme poverty and that 60% of the po[CENSORED]tion lives with moderate to severe food insecurity. That does not mean that there have not been changes or improvements. Below we will explain the causes of this recovery, but now we will tell you 5 factors that indicate the change in the economic conditions of the country. 1. End of hyperinflation In January 2022, the Central Bank of Venezuela announced that the country had completed the cycle of 12 consecutive months with an inflation rate below 50%, for which it formally abandoned the hyperinflationary spiral in which it had been immersed since 2017. Hyperinflation caused the Venezuelan bolívar to lose so much value that its bills ended up being used for decorative purposes. That good sign was granted shortly after, in March, when the South American country had a monthly inflation rate of 1.4%, the lowest recorded since September 2012. Last April, the latest date available, monthly inflation rose to 4.4% but is still well below the 24.6% registered in April 2021. 2. Increase in oil production Venezuela's oil production peaked at over three million barrels a day in 1998, then began a slow decline under Hugo Chavez that accelerated under his successor, Nicolas Maduro, in power. In 2020, oil production in Venezuela fell to mid-20th century levels. As of January 2019, Venezuela was extracting just 1,106,000 barrels per day, indicating a reduction in production by two thirds over 20 years. It was then, when the United States government sanctioned the Venezuelan oil industry, from which crude oil production suffered a historic setback that led to levels typical of the mid-20th century, registering an extraction of just 434,000 barrels per day. for November 2020, always according to OPEC data. However, in the last semester of 2021, the production of crude oil, the main source of wealth for the State, began to increase until reaching some 718,000 barrels per day by December of that year and has remained slightly below 700,000 barrels since then. A very small figure for the country that presumes to have the largest proven oil reserves in the world, but almost doubles that registered during the historic fall in 2020. 3. Economic growth forecasts Among institutions and economic experts there is an almost unanimous consensus regarding the possibility that the Venezuelan economy will continue to grow in 2022. A Credit Suisse report projected 20% economic growth for Venezuela. The estimates, yes, vary significantly. Thus, the International Monetary Fund projects a growth of 1.5%, while a report by the Credit Suisse bank quoted by the Reuters agency estimates the increase in Venezuelan GDP for this year at 20%. Asdrúbal Oliveros, director of Ecoanalítica, points out that this consulting firm expects GDP to grow 8% and private consumption to grow 12%. "That has to be understood in the context of a GDP that has shrunk by 80%, so we're talking about an economy that's in the pit, that has fallen too far. That makes it entirely possible to grow at that rate because you're growing 8%. over 20 and not over 100, which is where you were in 2013. To put it in numerical terms: 8% of 20 is just 1.6, so you're going from 20% to 21.6% compared to your starting point which is 100", explains the expert to BBC Mundo. It also analyzes that this growth is very focused on sectors such as commerce, technology, the food and health industries, while others such as manufacturing, construction, banking and insurance continue to be highly affected. He warns that territorially the growth is not generalized, since it is focused on Caracas and a few other cities. "It should also be noted that it is an unequal growth because in Venezuela the gap between those who have access to goods and to be able to cover all their needs and those who do not is very wide," he points out. 4. Product Sourcing Improvements In recent years, stories about the shortage of products in Venezuela have gone around the world. From the intermittent lack of basic products such as milk, toilet paper or corn flour to make the typical arepas, it went in a few years to a general shortage of all kinds, including essential medicines and even gasoline. Currently, the images of the long queues of citizens waiting to be able to purchase basic products in Venezuela have disappeared with an important exception in the case of gasoline, which still requires queues and waiting by those who want to purchase it at subsidized prices. "Today you are not queuing at the supermarket to buy milk. Today you get practically full supply. The problem now is prices," says León. Oliveros agrees and points out that the food shortage index prepared by Econanalítica shows a very significant reduction, which has gone from 80% in 2016-2017 to 15-20% today. However, the problem of access to the goods that are now available to those who can afford them is not a minor issue due to the low income of the majority of Venezuelans. According to Oliveros, a study he carried out in January shows that around 50% of the Venezuelan po[CENSORED]tion earns less than US$100 a month, while another 30% receives between US$100 and US$300. "With these levels, it is clear that people's ability to feed themselves properly is extremely limited, since the minimum food basket (an indicator that includes the food that a family must consume to survive) is around US$350 a month, for which, in the end, the gap is very large," he explains. 5. The return of airlines and international artists After an absence that lasted for years, many international airlines and many foreign artists (or Venezuelans residing abroad) are returning to Venezuela. Oliveros warns BBC Mundo that he is not aware of any economic literature that uses these elements as indicators of economic growth. However, both have been strongly incorporated into the debate around the phrase "Venezuela fixed itself." Air Europa is one of the few international airlines that flies to Venezuela. The economic debacle experienced by Venezuela in recent years led to a massive reduction in the number of international airlines operating in the country, whose number ended from 25 to 5 between 2014 and 2022. Many of these companies decided to leave the Venezuelan market because they were unable to get the Venezuelan government to pay them an outstanding debt that was then estimated at around US$3.3 billion, derived from the sale of air tickets in bolivars at an original price subsidized by the State through exchange control. However, recent statements to the press by the president of the Venezuelan Airline Association, Humberto Figueras, indicate that at least eight international airlines have initiated approaches with a view to the possibility of operating in Venezuela again. In the case of the visit of international artists to the country, their concerts turned out to be reduced around 2014 -in principle for political reasons since there were artists like the Spanish Alejandro Sanz who criticized Maduro's repression of the protests against his government- and, then, they stopped for economic reasons around the year 2017. In recent months, however, there has been a remarkable return of international artists (and local artists but living abroad) to the Venezuelan stages. Among the groups and singers that have performed in the country is the Colombian band Morat, the Mexican singers Emmanuel and Christian Castro or the Mexican singer-songwriter Fonseca, who had not visited Venezuela for a decade. Mexican Emmanuel is one of the first artists to sing again in Venezuela. Among the artists who have concerts planned soon is the duo Sin Bandera, the Puerto Rican singer Olga Tañón, the Venezuelan singer José Luis Rodríguez "El Puma" and the Argentine rocker Fito Páez, among others. Show producer José Luis Ventura explained to BBC Mundo that the dollarization of the economy has been key to the return of international artists to Venezuela because these artists are paid in foreign currency. He added that the estimated cost of tickets for this type of show ranges between approximately US$30 and US$200. But, how is it possible that in a country where the minimum wage is around US$30, people can afford these concerts and, in some cases, fill the venues where they are held? "I think that all of us who worked on this are clear that they worked for a sector that still has purchasing power. It is a minimum sector, I don't know if it will be 5% of the po[CENSORED]tion, but it is working," Ventura responds. Line The reasons for the economic recovery and its limits Asdrúbal Oliveros points out that there are three factors that have come together to improve the supply in Venezuela: the abandonment by the government of the "draconian" policies of exchange and price controls; the dollarization of the economy and the opening to imports. As he explains, these measures allowed the private sector to operate in better conditions, knowing that it would be able to adjust its costs and guarantee its profitability, at the same time that thanks to dollarization it obtained certainty because it could set its prices in that currency and reach agreements with its suppliers to pay them in the same currency. The frequent electrical blackouts that Venezuela suffers are an obstacle to its economic recovery. However, both Oliveros and León agree that this incipient recovery of the Venezuelan economy is very limited - "a recovery in the background", as Oliveros describes it - that it will be difficult to take it further if other important changes do not occur. And, at the same time, a growth rate like the current one of around 6% or 8% is insufficient for the Venezuelan economy to experience a full recovery. "If you decreased 75% in GDP, in order for you to recover the levels of 2013 you will have to grow in GDP around 400%. You were at 100, you ended up at 25 and, then, to return to 100 you will have to quadruple and that you raised was 6% to 8%. At that rate you will need decades to be able to return to the level of 2013, "says León. Both point out that these higher rates require infrastructure that can count on electricity, water and all kinds of services that currently lack and for which investments are needed that the government is not capable of making. "Venezuela does not have access to services. It is a very important element. Neither public nor private financing. The big problem that companies in Venezuela have is the lack of credit. It also has a collapse of the State and a collapse of the public, which also it is reflected in a significant decrease in production capacity. The most emblematic case is the lack of electricity. Without electricity, it is very difficult for the industry to grow," says Oliveros. The expert believes that the required growth cannot be achieved without a profound reform and without the construction of a political agreement that allows Venezuela to access financing from multilateral organizations with whose support, added to the arrival of foreign investment, a payback within 8 to 10 years. "We cannot access the Monetary Fund, nor the World Bank and their support -which is essential for a program of certainty and reconstruction- we will not have it until the political issue is resolved. Nor will we achieve the elimination of economic sanctions until that this political issue be resolved," he says. Government and opposition have been at odds for years and many countries do not even adopt Maduro as president. But what will happen to the Venezuelan economy if there is no such political agreement? "If the conditions do not change significantly, Venezuela may take between 40 or 50 years to recover. Now what we have is an economy that has stopped falling and if those political and economic conditions do not change, it will stay there. It will probably not continue to fall. , but it is not going to grow either. It will remain stagnant and that is the danger that we see moving forward," concludes Oliveros.

This debate is philosophical, but it draws on the scientific evidence provided by the study of animal behavior Recently, an academic book entitled The Oxford Handbook of Moral Psychology has been published, in which philosophers and psychologists reflect on contemporary moral psychology. Of the 50 chapters that the book contains, one is dedicated to the rest of the animals. Specifically, it addresses the question of whether morality is an exclusively human characteristic, or whether we can also find it in other species. This is a controversial topic on which philosophers have not yet reached a consensus. The authors of the chapter, Susana Monsó and Kristin Andrews, specialized in animal ethics and philosophy, are committed to approaching the debate from a scientific perspective that analyzes the existing evidence on animal behavior. Monsó and Andrews addressed a question that they considered key: Do the rest of the animals care about the others? That is, are they able to identify with and meet the needs of other individuals? Are they affected by your misfortune? Empathy, compassion, pain and love are necessary emotions in every moral being. In order to answer these questions, ethologists have been looking for three different behaviors: mourning, consolation, and helping. Nowadays, there is enough scientific evidence to affirm that certain species show some of these behaviors or even all three. For starters, grief over the death of a mate has been described in elephants, primates, dogs, cetaceans, giraffes, and peccaries. Among all, possibly, the elephants are the ones that show the most moving behavior. The Save the Elephants organization studies the behavior of elephants in the Samburu National Reserve. They have personally identified all the elephants in the area and, since 1998, have recorded their movements by GPS. On October 11, 2003, members of this organization observed the death of Eleanor, the matriarch of one of the groups, documenting the behavior and movements of all the elephants in the area. For example, they narrate how another elephant named Maui doubtfully approached Eleanor's body, sniffed her with her trunk and touched her. Next, he rested his right leg on the corpse and wiggled it for a few minutes. In total, five families visited the matriarch's body, including her own. The funny thing is that most of these families were not related to Eleanor, in fact, it is possible that Maui did not know her because she came from another area. Elephants take an interest in other dead or sick individuals, regardless of their genetic relationship. Explaining this behavior from an evolutionary point of view is quite a challenge, especially if we take into account the diseases that can be contracted when inspecting a corpse. According to the study authors, this is evidence that elephants and humans share emotions such as grief, as well as an interest in death. Regarding consolation behavior, it has been documented in primates, elephants, cetaceans, rodents and crows, but the case that touches us most closely is that of dogs. Whether by having experienced it in person or by having seen it in a video, almost all of us know stories in which a dog comforts a human. But this is not just anecdotes, scientific studies confirm that these pets are able to identify human emotions and respond accordingly. For example, one study compared the reaction of dogs to a crying human and another that was simply humming, showing that they spent significantly more time touching and licking the crying human. Another study wanted to see if dogs also comfort each other. They conducted the experiment with 16 dogs, which we will call subject dogs. They put them in a room and played different vocalizations through a loudspeaker. Sometimes it was caused by the crying of a familiar dog, others by an unknown dog and others by an artificial sound that acted as control and was similar to these cries. The familiar dog then entered the room and the reaction of the subject dog was studied. When they had heard the cry of the familiar dog, they were much more affectionate towards the newcomer than when they had heard an unknown dog or the artificial sound. So, thanks to this evidence and many others, scientists can conclude that dogs are empathetic beings who comfort their friends. The last behavior that indicates whether an individual cares about another is helping. As in the previous cases, it has been observed in different species of primates, in dogs, in elephants, in rodents and even in pigeons. In po[CENSORED]r stories, an animal that is often shown off for its heroism is the dolphin. We tend to portray them as friends and confidants, capable of risking their lives to save bathers from sharks and guide lost ships. What the scientific evidence says so far is that, at least, they do help other dolphins. In 2012, Korean scientists were conducting a census of small cetaceans in the East Sea. Suddenly, they realized that there was something strange about a group of common dolphins (Delphinus capensis), because they were swimming very close to the surface. They counted a total of twelve dolphins, among which one of them stood out more than the rest and balanced on the body of the others. Sadly, the dolphin was sick and will not survive despite the best efforts of his friends. Mothers had been observed several times before pushing their calves to the surface to help them breathe, but this was the first time scientists had observed this among adult dolphins. In addition to describing in detail what happened in an article, the witnesses of the event recorded it on a video that is accessible to everyone. So the conclusion is clear: There are animals that care about others. As to whether this makes them moral beings, we can continue the debate. Above all, a philosopher seeks to ask good questions. Perhaps that is why Monsó and Andrews conclude the chapter like this: “As long as we are willing to consider ourselves moral, we think it is necessary to ask: Can animals also be moral?” Link: https://elpais.com/ciencia/2022-05-28/pueden-ser-morales-el-resto-de-los-animales.html

Pecco Bagnaia tested a new fairing in the Barcelona test "that improved the 'top speed' of the Ducati", but recorded that "the one that wins is the slowest bike". This weekend the German Grand Prix is held, the tenth stop on the 2022 MotoGP calendar, or what is the same, we reach the halfway point of the season. Ducati will reach half of the races of the course without having introduced the aerodynamic evolution to which all riders are entitled, by regulation, during the year. Since the pre-season, the riders who, on paper, use the 2022 prototype have not changed their fairing. At the Barcelona test, held in Montmeló on the Monday after the grand prix, Jack Miller, Enea Bastianini and Pecco himself will be able to test the evolution of the 2022 fairing, which was also used by Luca Marini, although only a few turns. "I tried several things and the most important thing was the fairing," Pecco explained at the end of the test. "It worked quite well, I'm happy with it, but it was just to test it. I don't know if we'll use it this year," the leader of the Borgo Panigale project blurted out like a jug of cold water. Pecco Bagnaia already surprised in the preseason by ruling out the latest evolution of Ducati's 2022 engine, asking to face the course (the propellers are sealed and cannot be changed) with a hybrid of the 2021 engine, the one that the factory took to the Jerez de November 2021. Now the boy from Turin has also closed the door to aerodynamic evolution and doubts that the new fairing is really the solution they need. "It can help maneuverability, but it also gives us more top speed. It can help, but this year I prefer more handling and less top speed," he says. "That's the most important thing, Yamaha is the perfect example of that." Pecco is clear about the rider he has to beat if he wants to be world champion: Fabio Quartararo. In the race of the Grand Prix of Catalonia, Miller set the maximum speed in the race with the Ducati (348.3 km/h), while among the riders who finished the test, the slowest bike was that of Quartararo, the winner , with a top speed of 337.5 km/h). "The handling [of the Yamaha] is better at the moment. We can clearly see that top speed is not everything. This year we have improved this a lot, but we still have to work on the grip in lean, like the Yamaha. We are studying that," he valued. The Italian is now waiting for Ducati to evolve this new fairing before making it final and homologating it for use in racing. "If it arrives, it will surely help us in the 'top speed', but as we have seen, the bike that is winning does not have top speed. I have improved a lot with a fairing (the current one) that does not give me as much speed, but it helps in handling. And I would like to continue like this", in reference to the bike's agility in the corners. While Pecco does not see the need to use the new fairing, Miller assured that he does not care what they mount on him, not in vain at the end of the season he will go to another factory. However, who did see the new piece very positively was Enea Bastianini. The one from Gresini has a motorcycle and a 2021 aerodynamic package, and after testing the first 2022 aerodynamic package at the Jerez test (early May), he preferred to wait for the second (the one in Barcelona) before making a decision, assuring that he expected be able to use it after the summer. For Pecco, the fact that other drivers homologate it does not change his plans. "I don't know how it works, it's not me who should decide who can or cannot homologate it, it's a decision that Ducati must make," the #63 settled.

At 64, Gareca brought in midfielder Edison Flores to give his team more offensive power, which was suffering without finding variants in attack. At 68, Cueva took out a left shot that hit the side of Mathew Ryan's goal. With set pieces and long-range shots, Australia also had their share in Gallese's goal.
