It is known as liquid gold for its multiple properties, but do we know how quality is determined, what factors influence it and how they impact the body? Olive oil is one of our hallmarks. Intimately linked to our landscape and our gastronomy, it is an essential part of the Mediterranean diet; in fact, many of the health benefits attributed to this diet are due precisely to the presence of this healthy fat in it. "The quality of an olive oil," explains Belén Fontán, a Pharmacy graduate and expert in nutritional coaching at the Ruber Juan Bravo Hospital Complex, "is defined by its chemical characteristics (acid value, peroxide value, vitamins... .), as well as its organoleptic characteristics such as colour, smell, flavor or density”. Focusing on health, we are going to be interested in an oil with a high level of oleic acid, a monounsaturated fatty acid that stands out for its heart-healthy properties. In this sense, it must be remembered that the olive harvest season usually oscillates between the end of autumn and the beginning of winter, a moment in which the fruit has a higher percentage of oleic acid, which will allow us to obtain a better quality of oil. In addition to the harvest season, other factors such as the weather, the treatment of the olive once harvested or the storage of the oil obtained will also have a significant influence on the quality of the final product and, consequently, on its nutritional benefits. Aware of this, manufacturers are currently paying special attention to all these factors and to the production processes in order to optimize the healthy possibilities of this 'liquid gold'. This is how it benefits us To understand why the virtues of olive oil are extolled so much, the Nutrition specialist explains that: Prevents cardiovascular diseases. Oleic acid has the ability to reduce LDL (bad cholesterol) levels and increase HDL (good cholesterol) levels. "The presence of this oleic acid also increases arterial vasodilation, improving blood circulation and lowering blood pressure," she stresses. Strengthens the bones. It contributes to bone mineralization, which is why it is essential for proper growth in childhood, as well as in adulthood to avoid bone problems and diseases such as osteoporosis. https://www.elconfidencial.com/alma-corazon-vida/2022-04-08/aceite-oliva-beneficios-salud-bra_3403324/

On the surface of our planet we find different elements that remind us, thanks to their presence, of the passage of time. This is the case of ancient architectural constructions, such as temples still standing or the remains of roads and buildings from antiquity. But if we are looking for a living being, still alive, that is the same age or even older than an old church, those are the trees. In California they have huge sequoias, very long-lived trees that can reach 1,800 years old. But, without going that far, in Europe we have a tree equal to or older than the famous American sequoias: an olive tree that is almost 4,000 years old. This is the Vouves olive tree, which is located on the Greek island of Crete. Experts say that the tree is between 2,000 and 4,000 years old, something difficult to determine given its age and its size. The existence of two geometric cemeteries next to the tree indicate that it was already planted at least in the year 900 BC. C., being one of the oldest olive trees in the world. A tree that still produces fruit This olive tree has a perimeter of 12.5 meters and a diameter of 4.6 meters. Since 1997, it is considered a natural monument protected by the Association of Cretan Municipalities of the Olive Tree. For its part, and given its tourist interest, in 2009 it was used to inaugurate the Vouves Olive Tree Museum nearby. This museum was installed in a 19th century house, and it shows the tools used in the manufacture of olive oil and the traditional process of olive cultivation. Curiously, some twigs of this thousand-year-old tree were used to weave the triumphal crowns of the winners of the Olympic Games in Athens in 2004 and those in Beijing in 2008. A real honor for the athletes who wore these crowns. To this day, the Olive Tree of Vouves still bears fruit every year, with an estimate of 150 kilos of olives per year, which are used to make olive oil. If we look at it with perspective, it is a tree that has lived during the Empire of Ancient Egypt, and has seen the birth, growth and fall of the Great Roman Empire, among many other civilizations and disputes. All this makes this olive tree of great historical and cultural importance, and is a milestone in the field of olive oil production, an ancient art highly valued in the Cretan civilization. https://www.elconfidencial.com/alma-corazon-vida/2023-04-11/olivo-mas-viejo-y-grande-mundo-creta_3608175/

Aesthetic changes and little else; this is what we can expect from the next generation of Intel NUC mini PCs, with the NUC 13 Pro “Arena Canyon” model as the spearhead, but with a format that returns to the model known as “4-by-4” (4 x 4 inches) that they have been using almost since they were introduced to the market. In this article we tell you everything about them. “Now more than ever, businesses need flexible, scalable systems that are environmentally conscious and AI-ready, offering the peace of mind that comes with proven technology. The NUC 13 Pro is our latest step forward in giving our customers the high-quality, reliable, enterprise-grade computing they need,” said Brian McCarson, Intel NUC Group General Manager. This is the Intel NUC 13 Pro, the mini PC "without news" You have already seen the statements of the head of Intel's NUC division: we are dealing with "proven technology", that is, used in previous generations. As much as Intel strives to present news, in reality they are quite empty when there are no real news but only word... concerned about the environment? Artificial intelligence? Enterprise-level computing? This all seems pretty complicated in a NUC format, don't you think? As you can see in the image above, the 4 x 4-inch format returns to the Pro models, with some aesthetic changes such as a homogeneous outer shell and matte black color (until now they were silver below and glossy black above). The position of the power button has been changed, which is now on the front instead of on the top, and larger ventilation grills have been added to the sides… no more, no less. Fortunately, the connectivity has been updated, and in addition to the two HDMI outputs that we already had in previous versions, an RJ-45 2.5 GbE connector is now included instead of the usual Gigabit, in addition to a total of two UCB-C 3.2 Gen.2 connectors, three USB 3.2 Gen 1 and one USB 2.0. Under the hood we can find an M.2 socket compatible with PCIe 4.0 x4 SSDs, as well as integrated Wi-Fi 6E and Bluetooth 5.3. It is true that this range of NUCs are designed for businesses, but NUC mini PCs have always also been a powerful tool for people who need a mini PC to work, since they take up little space, are silent and powerful enough to do anything. type of task (except games) in a solvent way. But it is also true that they are still barebones to which RAM memory must be added (in this case, up to 64 GB DDR4 at 3,200 MHz in SO-DIMM format, already from the Pleistocene) and SSD at the user's expense, and its price It's not exactly cheap ($340 to $1,080 depending on hardware configuration). Really, who needs these "news" that this generation of Intel NUC 13 Pro introduces? If we look back at the two previous generations, we continue with SSD in M.2 format, we continue with DDR4 RAM memory, and the only real novelties are found in the form of connectivity, 2.5 GbE LAN (who currently has a built-in network environment 2.5 GbE? With Gigabit is more than enough) and WiFi 6E. It is up to each one to decide if it is worth jumping to the new generation, but of course, we do not see that the news is really worth it because there is no real performance jump. https://hardzone.es/noticias/equipos/intel-gama-nuc-novedad/

What a CPU does is execute the instructions of a program located in a memory. But did you know that they all follow the same general rules? They all follow the same instruction cycle, which is divided into three distinct stages called Fetch, Decode, and Execute, which are translated as fetch, decode, and execute. We explain how these stages work and how they are organized. In order to simplify and make the concepts explained in this article more understandable, we have decided to describe an extremely simple processor for these times, so in this article you will see an explanation of what instruction cycles are in a general way that can be apply from the first 8-bit processors to the most complex ones that exist today. The processors are not different from a certain point of view to a combustion engine, which always carry out a continuous process of fuel explosion in different stages, whether they are 2-stroke or 4-stroke. The reason for this is that the processors work in three different stages in their simplest version, which are the following: Fetch or Capture: In which the instruction is captured from RAM memory and copied into the processor. Decode or Decoding: In which the previously captured instruction is decoded and sent to the execution units. Execute or Execution: Where the instruction is resolved and the result written in the internal registers of the processor or in a memory address of RAM. These three stages are fulfilled in every processor, there is a fourth stage which is Write-Back which is when the execution units write the result, but normally this is counted within the execution stage of the instruction cycle. The first stage of the instruction cycle is responsible for capturing the instructions that are in the RAM memory assigned to the processor through a series of units and registers that are the following: Program Counter or Program Counter: Which points to the next memory line where the next processor instruction is located. Its value is incremented by 1 each time a complete instruction cycle is completed or when a jump instruction changes the value of the program counter. Memory Address Register or memory address register: The MAR copies the contents of the PC and sends it to RAM through the address pins of the CPU, which are wired with the address pins of the RAM itself. Memory Data Register or memory data register: In the event that the CPU has to perform a memory reading, what the MDR does is copy the content of that memory address to an internal register of the CPU, which is a temporary step register before its contents are copied to the Instruction Register. The MDR, contrary to the MAR, is connected to the data pins of the RAM and not to the address pins, and in the case of a write instruction, the content of what is to be written in the RAM is also written in the MDR Instruction Register or Instruction Register: The final part of the capture or fetch stage is the writing of the instruction in the instruction register, from which the processor control unit will copy its content for the second stage of the instruction cycle. These 4 sub-stages occur in all processors regardless of their utility, architecture and binary compatibility or what we call ISA https://hardzone.es/tutoriales/rendimiento/ciclo-instruccion-cpu/

Many times having the best architecture does not mean having the most performing CPU, this paradox has occurred several times in the history of computing. Especially with optimized versions of already mature architectures compared to newer ones. That is why AMD decided to join its Ryzen 7000 with the V-Cache of its 5800X3D to create what for a long time will be the best processor for games and its successor. We are talking about the 7800X3D and we will tell you why we are waiting for it like rain in May. There is no doubt that in the PC the freedom to choose the components allows us to build systems suitable to our budget and needs. The problem comes when we want something with high performance and the differences between one chip and another may seem insignificant on paper or unimportant, but once the concept of performance compared to price enters, the whole tower of mud collapses. It is at this point where it is important to know how to choose well. Add more cache, a sure bet on performance After the release of the AMD Ryzen 7 7800X3D, which is composed of a single CCD and, therefore, with all the cores benefiting from the V-Cache, the 5800X3D finally has its true successor on the market. Although, as we have said several times, the benchmarks do not get better results on a CPU with much more last-level cache memory, in general applications, yes, and we could already verify that with the 5800X3D, which with this small change was capable of to match the Ryzen 7700X in most workloads. On the other hand, it is no secret that the speed of access to RAM is the biggest bottleneck. Therefore, it is a safe bet for any processor to alleviate this problem and the addition of cache memory is the safest and most classic of all. Of course, the common user is not interested in those details of how, but what and precisely what is Caesar's, although we criticize AMD for how it is doing in graphics cards, in processors it is a totally different song. The AMD Ryzen 7 7800X3D is the best processor for games Not long ago, the folks over at Techpowerup decided to do a mock review of the Ryzen 7 7800X3D using the Ryzen 9 7950X3D for it. Since both CPUs are the same, except for the addition of a CCD without V-Cache in Ryzen 9, they decided to disable it to have their younger brother on a practical level. Of course, the Boost speed of AMD's symmetrical eight-core processor is slightly less than sixteen asymmetrical of the same brand, but most likely with a slightly higher base clock speed. At first glance, losing 8 cores is losing performance, however, the fact that there is a higher latency between them since they are on another chip and perform worse because they do not have the V-Cache is counterproductive. On the other hand, there is not a single game currently, within the PC world, that requires more than 8 cores and 16 threads to run smoothly and less if these have improvements. https://hardzone.es/noticias/procesadores/7800x3d-mejor-procesador-juegos/

Beyond the mediocrity and disaster that the Resident Evil movies and live action series have been, the legacy of the franchise as a video game is well protected in CGI productions and this summer we will be able to enjoy a new installment that today has given a lot of what talk. RESIDENT EVIL: DEATH ISLAND ALREADY HAS A JAPAN RELEASE DATE First thing in the morning, official Resident Evil: Death Island material for the Japanese market was leaked on social networks, which consists of an official poster and images that anticipate the great adventure full of fan service that is on the way. At first, the official poster, impressive from the first sight, reveals that the film will be released in Japan on July 7, although there is still no information about what will happen with the release in the Rest of the World although the expectation is high and more with the success of video games in recent years. THE DREAM TEAM OF THE FRANCHISE IN RESIDENT EVIL: DEATH ISLAND As the official Resident Evil: Death Island poster anticipates, the film and its story will allow an authentic Dream Team of franchise heroes to be put into action. As seen in the material and in the image that we share below, this story will unite Chris Redfield, Jill Valentine, Rebecca Chambers, Leon S. Kennedy and Claire Redfield in a new affront against the disaster created by the Umbrella Corporation. THE HEROES OF RESIDENT EVIL IN ONE MOVIE Resident Evil continues well and good because at this moment it enjoys the honeys of the success of Resident Evil 4 Remake whose sales have surprised and are on their way to breaking records for the IP and the Japanese company. Also, this great result has taken Capcom to the top of the financial sector as its share price reached an all-time high. https://www.levelup.com/noticias/732584/Resident-Evil-Death-Island-ya-tiene-fecha-para-Japon-comparten-impresionante-arte-oficial

SEGA's blue hedgehog and some of the most emblematic characters from the Japanese company fight for copper in a fun karting game for iOS and Android. If you have an iconic character, or a major franchise, turn it and tweak it all into a kart game. Combining pets, settings and sagas in a karting title is what seems like one of those unwritten rules in the world of video games. In short, if you don't have a kart game, you can't consider yourself a character with a tradition in electronic entertainment. Mario set a trend, which was followed by Crash Bandicoot, followed by Sonic -by the hand of Sumo Digital-, and now recently, continues to Angry Birds, the last of the great franchises that have decided to switch to the driving genre. Even Star Wars characters and creatures and Formula 1 championship drivers had their own! The first approach of the charismatic hedgehog from SEGA to the world of karting was remarkable, and now, several years later, and after a delivery for PS3 and Xbox 360, we have a second installment that treasures playable changes that can add that extra touch of originality that perhaps it was conspicuous by its absence in the first part. By sea, land and air Sonic & All Stars Racing Transformed allows us to race in the most diverse environments and circuits, with a car capable of adapting to the terrain, either transforming into a plane to cross the skies or a motorboat to enter the most rugged waterways. This manages to bring two new playable dimensions to the well-known driving and kart formula already known in the genre, which continues to cling to the most classic canons seen to date. SEGA has done a good job of this, as the three systems complement and link in an instant and accessible way, resulting in natural gameplay. The approach of Sonic & All Stars Racing Transformed is the same as always -if something works, why change it?-. We have just over fourteen different characters to play with -some of which are not accessible until well into the game-, a good number of circuits, with their own variants and a series of very classic and common game modes -such as tournament mode or the one of challenges-. In Sonic & All Stars Racing Transformed you will find a large part of the catalog of mascots, characters, icons and stars of the SEGA franchises, with the best representation of the Japanese company. We can ask Sonic, Tails, Amy, Ulala -Space Channel 5-, B.D. Joe -Crazy Taxy- or Ryo Hazuki from Shenmue himself. There is a lot to choose from… And a lot to unlock. https://vandal.elespanol.com/analisis/android/sonic-allstars-racing-transformed/22659#p-71

The 'Ranked' mode has been announced for the famous battle royale of Call of Duty: Warzone 2.0. After being requested by fans, it seems that ranked matches will finally be making an appearance in Warzone 2. This mode has been announced along with a host of other new features coming in Season 3, including the FJX Imperium sniper. and the Cronen Squall rifle. In addition to an all-new battle pass dubbed the “BlackCell Battle Pass”, Season 3 will also bring the long-awaited ranked matches into the battle royale. However, the information provided via the Call of Duty blog has been rather scant. Therefore, it should be noted that this entry will be gradually updated as more information is revealed. Warzone 2 Ranked Match Release Date Activision-Blizzard has not provided an exact release date for this game mode in Warzone 2. It is confirmed that it will not arrive at the start of Season 3, but it should arrive during Season 3, as stated by the developers: "more information about this new experience [ranked matches] available in the middle of the season." So, most likely we will receive this content in the mid-season update (Season 3: Reloaded). It is currently unknown how this mode could work or what rewards it could bring to players.

An unprecedented event in the canton of La Libertad, in the province of Santa Elena: the image of the Virgin Mary in the invocation of La Dolorosa would have shed tears during the night of last Friday, when the procession with the holy sepulcher was taking place. However, the event had a greater connotation when the tour ended at the Nuestra Señora de la Esperanza mother church. Holy Week: what is Glory Saturday and what are the Liturgy of the Hours and of the Word “The parishioners approached me and told me the Virgin cries. I got closer and first I thought they were the artificial tears of the image, but then I saw that three tears flowed from her left eye, ”said Wider Vivas, parish coordinator. He commented that there has not yet been a pronouncement by the parish priest, but it is expected that the case will be made known to the diocese and investigated, just as it happened when the image of the Mystic Rose in Olón cried tears of blood. The event has had such diffusion that yesterday the parishioners continued to come to the church to see the image, although now they only observe the false tears that are part of the plaster and wood sculpture. Cotton and handkerchiefs are passed through the face of the image; people take them as a sacred gift. Holy or Glory Saturday is a day of absolute silence for the Church, which reflects "on the Passion and Death of Our Lord Jesus Christ, as well as his descent into hell and his subsequent Resurrection". This is how AciPrensa explains the important "day of waiting" for Catholics. On Glory Saturday it is the Virgin Mary “who comforts the apostles of Jesus. She reminds them of what her son said: "On the third day I will rise again," reports El Comercio. For this support for those who believe "that everything is over", that day Mary is remembered not only for her pain, but for "courage and keeping hope alive". The Catholic Church dedicates Saturday to the Virgin Mary because, among other reasons, on Holy Saturday when Christ is dead and everyone is gone, she continues to confidently wait on the promises of her Son Jesus. She is full of pain, but she keeps standing the flame of Faith pic.twitter.com/qBjYdMnppX – Dr. Everardo López-Padilla (@drever77) March 18, 2023 The Christian community watches over the tomb.

What is celebrated every day of Holy Week What is the Liturgy of the Hours Holy Saturday is an aliturgical day; officially, the Church focuses on the Liturgy of the Hours, notes Aleteia. That liturgy "is the set of prayers (psalms, antiphons, hymns, prayers, biblical readings and others) that the Church has organized to be prayed at certain hours of each day." https://www.eluniverso.com/noticias/ecuador/imagen-de-virgen-de-la-dolorosa-en-la-libertad-habria-derramado-lagrimas-durante-procesion-nota/

High-end displays and hardware As we said, we are facing a high-end computer that has an Intel Core i9-13900H processor accompanied by an NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4090 graphics card in its version for laptops, CPU and GPU that will help us play with the maximum possible FPS during the next years. This hardware is inside a new chassis that allows the inclusion of a larger full-width heatsink that, together with ASUS Tri-Fan technology, allows air to circulate thanks to three fans that improve cooling efficiency and, therefore, improve the temperatures of the equipment, something that positively affects both performance and durability. The screen is also high-end with a Nebula Display that is committed to a 16-inch size in 16:10 format along with high resolution, fast refresh rate, a maximum response time of 3 milliseconds, at least 500 nits of brightness ( which allows us to enter a rather interesting HDR) and a coverage of 100% of the DCI-P3 color space. To all this we must add a secondary screen on the lid of the laptop for personalization and known as AniMe Matrix, also 16 inches that has glitter in thousands of holes to give a unique look to the computer with different images or effects. all this for a price starting at €3,599 in Spain. https://vandal.elespanol.com/noticia/w5977/asus-lanza-en-espana-el-rog-zephyrus-m16-su-portatil-tope-de-gama-a-partir-de-3599-euros

Microsoft has included a new option in the latest Windows 11 update for Insiders with which users can download free apps and games directly from the Microsoft Store search results without having to access the product. The company has released its latest version of Windows 11 Insider Preview Build 25330 for the Canary channel, which includes updates related to the Microsoft application store, as well as some changes and improvements in design aspects. Among the novelties of this update is the option to install free applications and games directly from the search results of the application store. In this way, the download of the 'apps' is facilitated in a more accessible way, without having to navigate through the application or game page itself. To do this, as Microsoft explains in a statement on its blog, the user will only have to place the cursor over the application they want to download among the results options that appear on the search page. After that, a window will open with application information and an install button. Once this button has been pressed, the installation will be activated automatically. In addition, during the download process of the 'app' in this same window also appears the option to cancel the download or pause it. Following this thread, Windows has also updated the design of the Microsoft store when it comes to buying applications. In this case, the styles of the dialog that appears in the development of the purchase "are better aligned with Windows 11", as indicated by the company itself, to offer the user "a more pleasant payment experience". In the same way, the design of the user interface of the box that appears in the Microsoft store to rate and qualify the application has been renewed. Now displays a "faster, more reliable" rating experience that's better aligned with the Windows 11 style. As for other OS updates, the company has introduced changes to the settings page for wheel or circular dial devices, such as the Surface Dial design activity plugin, which opens in the 'Settings' app within the 'Bluetooth and devices' tab. This page now better aligns with Windows 11 design principles, as detailed by Microsoft. On the other hand, with this update the 'print screen' key will open the 'Snipping Tool' by default. Also, in the course of encrypting a drive with BitLocker the user will be able to minimize the encryption process dialog. These Windows 11 news are part of the preview version of the Canary channel, so they are still in testing before they are released to users generally. https://www.europapress.es/portaltic/software/noticia-windows-11-permite-descargar-apps-resultados-busqueda-tienda-version-insiders-20230331155512.html

In this strategy game we have to recover wastelands devastated by pollution. It is called Terra Nil and it is as precious as it is brilliant in its design. The Free Lives thing has no name: in barely a decade, this South African studio has touched all the sticks of the video game, from the most frenetic arcade with Broforce to the bloody commitment to virtual reality with Gorn, all of this going through projects as indescribable as the brilliant Genital Jousting satire, which is also a hilarious party game, or the vibrant Anger Foot, which is in development for computers. As if that were not enough, in their new project they have teamed up again with the publisher Devolver Digital and the support studio 24 Bit Games to launch Terra Nil, an ecological strategy game that has just been released on PC, iOS and Android through Netflix . In Vandal we have already played it and we will tell you what we think about it below. More puzzle and strategy than traditional management Terra Nil looks like a management game, but it's not even close to a traditional tycoon. It is more of a strategy game, a puzzle in three stages that challenges us to recover devastated environments: by placing buildings in squares we will have to decontaminate the area, plant new biomes and attract animal species, all paying points for each machine that we place, but without a time limit or random events that force us to react. The third and last step consists of retracing the path, collecting everything that we have placed to leave the place and let the animals and plants take care of it. For this reason we say that it is not a management game, because we do not have to make a place to stay prosperous but to solve a pollution problem and leave. In addition, the buildings and technologies that we place do not have a loading or research time, they are immediate, and the only values that we have to take into account are the humidity, the temperature and the contamination of the place, nothing of happiness, resources or things for the style It is also clear that Terra Nil has little interest in management in things like the fact that the machinery that we can deploy is subtly different in the four main biomes that we will have to recover before the credits roll. That amount, by the way, is later doubled with alternative versions of each one of them, which is where we have truly found a challenge due to how the ideas that we have been learning in the initial levels are combined. The duration in that sense can be somewhat short, although between secondary objectives and procedural generation the replayability is more than assured. Environmentalism applied to mechanics Thematically it can become a complicated game, as are all green-themed video games that are based on systems that perpetuate consumption rates contrary to what they propose. Not even if part of its profits go to the Endangered Wildlife Trust, an NGO that protects ecosystems in real life, Terra Nil gets rid of the contradiction inherent in any ecological video game. However, on this occasion, it fully complies with a didactic task that knows how to take advantage of the value of video games as a means of expression: Terra Nil teaches things from its mechanics, such as that sometimes destruction is a fundamental process for the creation of life or that the will to safeguard ecosystems is useless if we look at it from selfishness instead of basing ourselves on the real needs of the species. https://vandal.elespanol.com/analisis/pc/terra-nil/101892#p-71

It is likely that if you have a Steam Deck you will be very satisfied for many reasons. Valve's machine is being a complete success and one of its most problematic aspects has been completely improved: the stock. Although the laptop's battery lasts less than many would like, it has a large catalog of compatible games whose number exceeds 8,000 titles. You're probably wondering how Steam Deck sales are doing, but Valve hasn't revealed the data yet. However, the GamesIndustry medium has echoed what a company specialized in technology and research has pointed out. Omdia has pointed out that throughout 2022 Steam Deck has managed to sell 1.6 million units. However, it considers that throughout 2023 it could even exceed 3 million. James McWhirter, Lead Analyst at Omdia, explained that Steam Deck is targeted for a niche player: "It's clear that Steam Deck remains a niche player in the PC gaming landscape. However, this is unlikely to deter players. Valve, which has plans beyond the mere sale of hardware units," he says. He also says that sales are limited by its zero retail presence because it can only be purchased through the website, which is a clear disadvantage when it comes to aspiring to more units sold. One of the best features of Steam Deck is its extensive support based on updates. One of the last ones added ray tracing, although it only went to Doom Eternal. On the other hand, we must not forget that the developers are talking about an OLED Steam Deck, but they point out that its implementation is not easy at all. https://www.3djuegos.com/pc/noticias/cuanto-vendera-steam-deck-2023-pese-al-silencio-valve-hay-quien-pone-numero-al-que-pueden-aspirar

In the world of video games, the Metal Gear saga is considered one of the most important in the history of the medium. The work that Hideo Kojima gave birth to together with Konami has left us with some of the most outstanding titles and moments of his time, with the Japanese creative lavishing originality, mechanics, and narrative in each installment that hit the market. Unfortunately, with the publication of Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain (2015), Kojima and Konami parted ways, and since then we've hardly had any great news from what is considered one of the reference franchises in the stealth genre. But, if you still have some games in the saga pending or you want to properly enjoy all the games available on the different platforms, then we will tell you in detail about the complex timeline of Metal Gear and Metal Gear Solid. There isn't even just one Snake or one protagonist, so take a look at the timeline to enjoy their convoluted story in the right order. Next to the name of the games we leave you the year in which each of them is set. Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater - 1964 Originally released in 2004 and available on PlayStation 2, PlayStation 3, Xbox 360 and PlayStation Vita, the third numbered installment of Metal Gear Solid is the beginning of the whole story and is also considered the best game in the series by many. In it, we control Big Boss and go through endless jungles against some of the most formidable enemies. Although it works well as a standalone game due to its status as a prequel, Snake Eater plants the seeds of the general conflict between the main characters, and it becomes even more important after learning about the impact that The Boss and Major Zero have on the rest of the games. Metal Gear Solid: Portable Ops - 1970 Originally released in 2006 for PSP, we are talking about a spin-off of the franchise that is canon. It details the start of Fox Hound and in his story we see how Big Boss meets a young Roy Campbell. It is interesting to play, although the fact that it has not reached more platforms makes it somewhat difficult to play today. Metal Gear Solid: Peace Walker - 1974 Originally released in 2010 and set four years after the events of Portable Ops, it became even more important once Ground Zeroes and The Phantom Pain hit the market. Big Boss lives in Costa Rica with his new army, and Kaz Miller and Paz are postulated as the most relevant characters in the story. Metal Gear Solid V: Ground Zeroes - 1975 Originally released in 2014, this is a prologue to The Phantom Pain that can easily be completed in less than two hours. While Konami's decision to release such a small product at such a high price caused a lot of buzz, there's a lot of side content to do and it's the starting point of the Venom Snake story. https://www.3djuegos.com/juegos/metal-gear/noticias/que-orden-jugar-a-saga-metal-gear-cronologia-definitiva-obra-hideo-kojima

Three years and four months. It is the time that has already elapsed since in Wuhan, a city in China whose name was then not familiar to almost anyone outside the country, cases of a strange pneumonia began to be detected. Despite the time that has elapsed, the origin of the coronavirus remains a mystery, embroiled in a debate that is more political than scientific and fueled by the opacity of Beijing. Although from time to time new clues appear. The last one points to the raccoon dogs (a species from Asia) that were in the Huanan market, in Wuhan. The climate is not conducive to impartial investigation. The World Health Organization reproaches China for its opacity when it comes to providing essential data to try to prevent an episode of that caliber from repeating itself. Where and how the virus jumped to the human being continues to be the subject of reproach between Beijing and Washington. In the capital of the United States, how the covid arose confronts the political class, divides the intelligence agencies and occupies hearings and sessions of legislators in Congress. On April 18, a room with high wood paneling and thick blue carpeting, room 2154 of the Rayburn building on Capitol Hill in Washington, will see the appearance of some of the former officials in charge of analyzing the origin of the pandemic. A group of legislators, the subcommittee on the origins of the covid, has summoned them for a hearing in which they will be questioned for hours about "China's role in the origins of covid-19 and the intelligence around where the virus came from." covid-19″. It is the second hearing of its kind in the US Congress so far this year and many more are being announced. President Joe Biden has signed legislation to declassify what his secret services know about how the coronavirus arose. An investigation that he ordered produced inconclusive results last year and the agencies in charge of scrutinizing the case are unable to agree. All possible theories still stand, although their defenders cling more to their ideology, or their concept of China, than to the available scientific data. The most widespread thesis among scientists is that it was a zoonosis, a jump from an animal —probably a bat— to the human being through a third species, perhaps a pangolin. Or another animal. It could have happened in nature. It could have happened on a farm. It could have happened in the Huanan market, that center for the sale of food in the center of the city in whose 653 stalls animals of all kinds —alive, dead, domestic or wild— were crowded in more than dubious hygienic conditions for consumption. Or it could have happened, according to the opinion of even some US government agencies, in a laboratory in Wuhan. https://elpais.com/sociedad/2023-04-07/pangolines-perros-mapache-laboratorios-las-nuevas-hipotesis-sobre-el-origen-del-coronavirus.html

For most drivers it is logical that you cannot drive while intoxicated because it incapacitates the senses and makes them more prone to causing traffic accidents. However, not everyone knows that sleeping less than five hours causes the same effect as alcohol when driving a car. A study published by a group of Australian researchers in the journal Nature and Science of Sleep, was based on the statistics that 20% of car accidents in Australia in the last 20 years were attributed to fatigue or exhaustion. Using other data, the research team concluded that sleeping less than five hours is associated with twice the risk of having a car accident, the same as drunk drivers. In addition, the risk increases while there is less sleep. “Some studies have even suggested that when a driver slept between zero and four hours the night before, they may be up to 15 times more likely to be in an accident,” the authors added. The blood alcohol concentration limit in Australia is 0.05%, more than that is considered impaired driving. But there is no way to measure exhaustion like alcohol concentration is measured. "There is no current way to assess roadside fatigue: there is no breath test or blood test that can assess how much sleep you have had or how affected you are," the scientists explained. https://www.eluniverso.com/larevista/salud/estudio-demuestra-que-conducir-con-menos-de-cinco-horas-de-sueno-es-igual-de-peligroso-que-conducir-ebrio-nota/

"That almost sounds like Marx," says Glory Liu, a professor of social studies at Harvard University. Although they are words of the so-called "Father of capitalism". "There are parts in 'The Wealth of Nations,' where Adam Smith talks about societies where the division of labor has advanced and become highly specialized and workers do the same thing over and over again, and he says that this it has a tendency to degrade the mind and body (...) That you lose your humanity in overwork." Liu thus summarizes some of the concerns felt by the Scottish philosopher who lived in the 18th century, who is seen by many as a pioneer of political-economic thought. And though he only used it three times - in two of his books and in one essay - his iconic expression about an "invisible hand" has been used repeatedly as a synonym for the goodness of the free market. Where is the house According to Liu, the explanation of what Smith meant when he used the expression "invisible hand" is a theory of unintended consequences: regardless of my intentions in performing an action, with it I can promote the public good. "For example, when he uses the phrase in 'The Wealth of Nations,' he is really talking about why investors choose to invest closer to home instead of going abroad," he tells BBC Mundo. "And he explains that it's because they have a better sense of community, they know the laws, they have a clearer idea of where their investments could pay off." "Deep down there is less uncertainty than if they invest in another country they don't know, with different rules and culture." "It is not yet a question of free market capitalism," warns the expert. Smith is only addressing the topic of "investing at home or abroad" and says that by doing the former, you end up promoting something you didn't intend. "Let's say I decide to invest in a corner business and even though my intention is not to revitalize the neighborhood, I end up creating space for public participation, new jobs open up, and that helps people earn more and spend more." in the other stores. "This is a way of illustrating the kind of social perception that Smith has that under certain circumstances an individual's actions, guided purely by his own self-interest, can have socially beneficial consequences." "And that's nice, it's a powerful idea," says the teacher. "But neither does it mean that all individual actions will end up promoting the public good." inequality In fact, according to some researchers, Smith recognized the dangers of commercial society and how it could produce great inequalities. You have to place yourself in his time: "The Wealth of Nations" was published in 1776, in London. "The kinds of inequalities he thinks of are both economic and political," Liu says. He saw how companies in his day were motivated by self-interest to increase their profits. "But they do it by convincing the legislators, the state, using the power of law and government apparatuses to create their own monopoly privileges so they can go to India and other countries in South Asia to exploit an entire nation in his own benefit." "Smith is not only concerned about what happens to people in India, who are living under British rule, he is also concerned that mercantile power has become political power in Britain and that creates political inequality that reinforces this dynamic. that people who have wealth have more political power to gain more wealth. "I think that when academics say that Smith was concerned about the kind of inequality that might arise in commercial society, they mean precisely a tendency toward this vicious circle in which people with wealth can somehow bolster their own positions. of power through the state. A "socialist" Eamonn Butler, director of London's Adam Smith Institute, also has a reading on what Smith was worried about. "He thought that one of the main causes of the great inequality that existed in his time were the controls that were imposed on the processes of the markets." https://www.bbc.com/mundo/noticias-64486571

We all, from time to time, have hiccups. And sometimes it seems like it will never happen. Hiccups consist of involuntary contractions of the diaphragm - the muscle that separates the thorax from the abdomen, which plays a crucial role in breathing - followed by a sudden closure of the vocal cords. The medical term for hiccups is singult, a derivation of the Latin word singult, meaning "to catch one's breath while crying." For most of us, hiccups are annoying things that don't last long. But in some people it can be persistent and last for more than two days. The good news is that there are simple ways to relieve the common hiccups and treatments for when they persist. What causes hiccups? Hiccups are caused by a reflex arc: a neuromotor pathway that translates a sensation into a physical response. Sensations in this arc come from the brain, ear, nose and throat, diaphragm, and organs in the chest and abdomen. The sensation signals travel to a part of the brain that, along with the upper part of the spinal cord, is known as the "hiccup center." From the hiccup center, signals return to the diaphragm and the muscles between your ribs (intercostal muscles), causing them to contract. Contraction of these muscles draws air into the lungs, and this sudden inhalation causes the opening between the vocal cords, or glottis, to close tight. This quick closing produces the typical hiccup sound. Triggers Anything that affects the arc can cause hiccups. The most common trigger is the stretching of the stomach that occurs when we eat a large dish or consume fizzy drinks. This means that the sensation signals we have in the stomach can trigger the reflex arc. Hot chili peppers, alcohol, smoking, and overexcitement can also trigger the reflex arc and cause hiccups. Hiccups have also been observed in healthy fetuses during follow-up prenatal ultrasounds. In fact, some researchers believe that hiccups are a mechanism that helps the lungs prepare to breathe soon after birth. How long does it last? And what can we do about it? A hiccup attack that lasts less than 48 hours is usually not worrisome. These types of attacks tend to end on their own. When it doesn't resolve on its own, there are ways to suppress the reflex arc. It is believed that the Valsalva maneuver (explained in the graphic below), drinking ice-cold drinks, and light pressure on the eyeballs can increase the activity of the vagus nerve that goes to the brain. https://www.bbc.com/mundo/noticias-65189233

The Israeli army reported in recent hours that it attacked targets linked to the Palestinian militant group Hamas in southern Lebanon and throughout the Gaza Strip. The offensive occurred after a rocket barrage into Israeli territory. In a statement, the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) indicated that targets including "terrorist infrastructure belonging to Hamas in southern Lebanon" were identified. Tensions escalated after Israeli police raided Jerusalem's al-Aqsa Mosque on several consecutive nights earlier this week as Ramadan, the holy month for Muslims, is observed. The mosque is the third holiest site in Islam, and the Israeli raids sparked violent clashes with Palestinians and sparked outrage in the region. Hamas said it had no information on who fired the missiles from Lebanon. The attack was the largest single bombardment of Israel's northern neighbor in 17 years. Israel reported that most of the 34 rockets were intercepted. Six of them caused damage to buildings. Hamas's response Hamas chief Ismail Haniyeh, who was in Lebanon when the rockets were fired, said the Palestinians will not "sit idly by" in the face of Israeli aggression. The IDF has stated that it will not allow Hamas to operate from Lebanon and held the government of that country responsible for every attack directed from its territory. Israeli warplanes also intensified airstrikes in Gaza. Around 20 missiles hit four places in 10 minutes. Palestinian militants also fired a fresh round of rockets into southern Israel. The Israeli planes attacked an underground weapons production site and three above ground, an IDF spokesman reported, according to the Jerusalem Post. These are the most intense airstrikes since August 2022, when the fight against Islamic Jihad took place. https://www.bbc.com/mundo/noticias-internacional-65209934

It's been almost two weeks since we learned that the UK Competition and Markets Authority (CMA) had changed its stance and is now leaning towards approving the purchase agreement between Activision Blizzard and Microsoft, after over the last few months it seemed that they were not going to give the green light to the movement. Now a response from Sony has been made public in which it protests this change of heart and accuses the CMA of having made errors in its analysis of the situation. "The change in position of the CMA (...) is surprising, unprecedented and irrational", can be read in Sony's response, collected by VGC. The PlayStation company assures that the CMA has made errors in its risk assessment of keeping the Call of Duty saga as an Xbox exclusive and that if it corrected them, it would realize that supporting the purchase of Activision Blizzard could be detrimental to the business of the videogames. It should be remembered that the CMA came to the conclusion that it would not be profitable for Xbox to keep Call of Duty as an exclusive, which led to a possible approval of the purchase. Sony wants the CMA to re-analyze the risk of approving the purchase With this response, Sony is trying to get the CMA to re-evaluate the benefits Xbox could gain from including Activision content in Xbox Game Pass and the benefits the company would get if it made Call of Duty exclusive to its gaming ecosystem. In any case, the CMA has yet to issue a solid response whether or not to approve the Activision purchase. We also await Europe's final response, which is due in May. https://vandal.elespanol.com/noticia/1350761383/sony-protesta-por-el-cambio-de-postura-de-la-cma-ante-el-acuerdo-entre-xbox-y-activision/

Not many will remember Supersonic Acrobatic Rocket-Powered Battle-Cars, the title released for PlayStation 3, but if we say Rocket League... things change. The Psyonix game has been a true revelation that since its debut more than six years ago has only grown, and now, with the financial support of the acquisition by Epic Games, it will continue looking for new fronts for those to expand. The first stop: mobiles. Same formula, new dimension Rocket League: Sideswipe is a sports and driving game that, like its big brother, combines rocket-jumping cars and a kind of soccer. It is completely oriented to play over the internet, in this case, with games for two or four players in 1 vs. 1 or 2 vs. 2 matches. It is possible to play solo against bots, but they are training matches that do not serve to progress; simply, as its own name indicates, to practice. The main change, yes, is the move to two dimensions, which requires obvious changes in its gameplay to work. Although it may seem like a simplification of the formula, Rocket League: Sideswipe is still very deep. It may sound silly, but Psyonix has done a fantastic job implementing these changes, and I appreciate that they went to the trouble of making a new game rather than just porting the desktop game to mobile, which might work. in most current terminals. Thus, Rocket League: Sideswipe is a completely new game, designed so that it can be played with our two thumbs and nothing else, although it is perfectly compatible with a controller. This new installment focuses more on mastering the flight, something that is "advanced" level in the main game. Being of two-dimensional movement, our position on the vertical axis becomes more important, but only being able to move in two dimensions also makes it easier to fly. In addition, the turbo now automatically regenerates whenever we have the wheels glued to a surface (ceiling included), so we will not lack turbo to fly. There has also been more emphasis on timing when hitting the jumping ball, as in the air the cars give the ball less momentum. The goals, being high, also enhance the gameplay designed around flight, since to score you have to lift the ball and to defend you have to be in the air. In general, they are small big changes that promote the dynamism of the games, and that constantly force us to look for the best position on the pitch. Note that the "Hoops" mode is also available, which is the basketball version, although it seemed to us that the transition to 2D is not as good as the main mode. https://vandal.elespanol.com/analisis/iphone/rocket-league-sideswipe/111086#p-71
