Bandai Namco has unveiled the opening animated sequence for Blue Protocol, a massively multiplayer online action role-playing game that has garnered a lot of attention from the very beginning for the quality of its anime visual style. The project developed by Bandai Namco Online fell out of the public eye in April 2020, when a closed test was conducted in Japan. During the last The Game Awards event, a trailer was shown confirming its launch in Spain and the rest of the West in the second half of 2023 for PC, PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X/S. Blue Protocol is an action RPG set in a future -but not futuristic- world that is threatened by the awakening of a monster. Players will have to discover the world of Regnas (halfway between the technological and the medieval, since it has gone through millennia of conflicts), unravel its past and avoid its destruction. The story that is structured with missions that can be completed solo or cooperatively. There will be exclusively multiplayer content, such as boss fights and some missions. The Bandai Namco Online title (responsible for the hero shooter Gundam Evolution and the music game IDOLiSH7) co-developed with Bandai Namco Studios will allow players to express themselves playably and aesthetically. You will be able to choose between five classes (Iron Warden, Dual Warrior, Clever Walker, Elemental Sorcerer and Deadly Ravager) and hundreds of combat abilities with the powers of creatures called Echoes. Also, the character editor promises to be ambitious. Amazon Games will be in charge of distributing in the West "Amazon's commitment to quality and attention to detail in bringing Blue Protocol to new audiences is exemplary," said Sokichi Shimooka, executive producer of Bandai Namco Online's Blue Protocol last December. "The Amazon Games team's wealth of experience in operating massively multiplayer games, combined with Amazon's publishing resources and transmedia opportunities, made them the ideal publisher for Blue Protocol in the West. We are excited to work together to bring players an incredible experience". https://vandal.elespanol.com/noticia/1350761392/blue-protocol-el-rpg-de-accion-online-de-bandai-namco-presenta-su-secuencia-de-animacion/

It has been a long time since the nomadic men decided to settle in fixed places on the planet, changing its geography. Despite this, there is something that has not changed yet: the settlements must be understood, in part, according to the needs of each town and their social and historical contexts. And something else, in the little space that still remains unconquered in this world, you have to manage to be able to live, although the Earth itself and its inclemencies sometimes make it difficult for us. A fairly clear example of these social and historical needs, which produce curious results to say the least, is the Ciudad Lineal devised by Arturo Soria. At the end of the 19th century, the architect conceived a true linear city that could travel across Europe (or even the world) and would be a link between specific cities, going as far as Saint Petersburg or Beijing. For Soria, the shortage of housing for workers, the lack of hygiene in them and the price of land were the main problems in Madrid during the 19th century. Contrary as it was to orthogonal planning, he proposed this linear city where a main street that could have no limit depending on the needs, served as a communication axis, with parallel streets where the houses, single-family and with gardens, were linked in a American style. Consequently, his proposal tried to correct the overcrowding problem of the Spanish working class, in accordance with the hygienist principles of the time. In addition, he was inspired by the ideas of some utopian socialists like Owen or Cabet, or urbanists like Olmsted and Herbert Spencer. It has about 6,000 inhabitants and extends along two impressive farmlands which, as we pointed out at the beginning with the settlements and needs, are what have marked the structure of the town. Throughout the nine kilometers that the town lasts, there are houses, hospitals, schools and even an impressive castle (Pieskowa Skala), built in the first half of the 14th century by Casimir III the Great. So we can say that this concept of a 'linear city', without having anything to do with hygienist measures, was already thought of long before, at least in Poland. https://www.elconfidencial.com/alma-corazon-vida/2023-04-07/curiosa-historia-pueblo-polaco-vive-linea-recta_3606036/

The Minister of Health, José Ruales, released details on the guidelines and protocols that correspond to that State portfolio to grant certificates for the possession and carrying of weapons for civilian use for personal defense, in accordance with the Executive Decree 707. Two of the requirements for the carrying and possession of weapons, established in the decree, provide that people must have a psychological test certificate issued by the Ministry of Public Health (MSP) and also obtain a certificate of passing the toxicological test , which determines that the person does not ingest substances subject to control or is not an alcoholic, also issued by the ministry. What requirements must be met to obtain a permit to carry weapons and who issues it? With this context, Ruales explained in an interview with Radio Sucesos, on Thursday, April 6, that a technical team of mental health and the legal area of the MSP met with the Ministry of Defense, which has six months to structure the secondary regulations to the decree. The protocols are concentrated in three fields, the minister described: Psychological certification, which must be issued by a forensic psychologist who determines the characteristics of the individual's personality. This will not be awarded by a general or clinical psychologist. The professionals who are in charge of this task must be qualified according to a technical regulation that is being developed. Toxicological tests to determine the presence or not of controlled substances. This will also have a rule, because the exams must be carried out at different times, with equipment and supplies that will be worked with the National Institute of Public Health and Research (Inspi). Psychiatric determination, because the review of alcoholism and substance use is also considered. A technical standard is also being prepared for this. Three State institutions have six months to update the corresponding regulations and the Weapons Control Information System In approximately six weeks, the MSP hopes to have ready the three regulations that will be submitted to the Ministry of Defense for their incorporation into the final regulation. Ruales said that "it will be complex" the process that natural persons must follow to obtain the certificates, because all the technical and legal safeguards have to be determined. https://www.eluniverso.com/noticias/politica/

There are the photos. A white lion lying quietly in the sun, an African tiger sleeping in the shade of his cage, and a white fox prowling the grounds. The search carried out by the authorities in a piece of land in the State of Mexico has revealed 47 live animals, seven stuffed exotic animals and several clandestine taps for the huachicoleo, the illegal extraction of fuel for sale. The police have arrested eight people and the property has been secured until they determine what they are going to do with the animals. Upon entering the property, the agents found 25 exotic animals. In addition to the lion and the tiger, there were two pumas, a Bengal tiger, a deer, a gray fox, a coyote, an owl, and several eagles, "among others," adds the Prosecutor's Office in its report. Inside the house there were 7 stuffed animals. One of the photos shows a deer in an awkward position, with its hind legs in the air, as if it is in full flight from the stuffed fox behind it. The first clues suggest that, to finance this kind of private zoo, the detainees were selling stolen fuel. The property had everything necessary to carry out this activity: a container with 14,000 liters of diesel, buses, machinery, pipes, motorcycles, and an installation connected to the subsoil that could possibly lead to a clandestine intake of hydrocarbons. A possible clandestine tap for water extraction was also found, reports the Prosecutor's Office. The regulation on exotic animals in Mexico varies depending on the animal in question. The Secretary of Environment and Natural Resources (Semarnat) considers that tigers cannot be taken for a walk or be considered pets, because they are predators and are regulated by the General Law of Wildlife. Even so, Mexican laws allow you to have an exotic animal as long as they are not considered endangered, such as the scarlet macaw or howler monkey. In addition, the papers must be in order and the animal must receive dignified and respectful treatment. The authorities have not reported on the status of the animals found on the property. The images that the Prosecutor's Office has released show the lions and tigers, apparently, in good condition. Although they have not left the enclosure in which they have been confined for a long time. The laws allow having these animals but not walking them, because they are considered too dangerous for the general po[CENSORED]tion. Although getting them is becoming easier thanks to social networks. In addition to the most remote areas of some street markets where prohibited animals have always been found, Facebook has a large market for exotic species. Just a few clicks away on the computer, you can find Facebook groups with the name “Sale of wild animals”, “Animales exóticos CDMX [Mexico City]”, as this newspaper found in a recent report. There you can get everything from jaguars, an endangered species, to hawks, Russian tortoises and chameleons. If the user wishes, in a matter of days he can have one of the strangest owls at the door of his house. And all without signing a single piece of paper. https://elpais.com/mexico/2023-04-06/dos-pumas-un-tigre-de-bengala-y-un-leon-blanco-la-policia-encuentra-47-animales-en-un-predio-del-estado-de-mexico.html

OMODA is the new brand that Chery's Asians have come up with to sell their range of models in Europe. The new OMODA 5 is ready to land in Italy, but also accompanied by JAECCO, a sub-brand that has advanced a new SUV. Chery is ready to land in Europe with the new OMODA 5, an attractive SUV that will be offered with a gasoline engine and a 100% electric version, standing out for a more innovative and distinctive design. An ambitious bet with which to win over the European public, especially the Italian and Spanish ones where the model is already on sale. But it is not the only novelty of this Asian brand of new cars, as they have just announced the premiere of JAECCO in the transalpine country, a sub-brand whose objective is to capture the customers most attracted to SUVs and SUVs. A launch that will not take long and that has been presented accompanied by a teaser showing a new camouflaged model that has nothing to do with the OMODA 5.

At some point in our lives, almost all of us have been able to have some therapeutic experience with the cold. We put on a cold compress when we have suffered a blow or we put our hand in the cold water if we have burned ourselves with oil. The cold seems to have restorative properties that we should take into account. A few years ago, it was striking to see how Pau Gasol put ice packs around his knees after a game. But now it is common to see LeBron James or Cristiano Ronaldo routinely get into an ice tub after an intense workout, and share it on their social networks, which helps spread the word about the benefits they can have for health and physical recovery. One of the most famous people for his ice baths is the Dutchman Win Hof (called Iceman due to his ability to tolerate the cold), who has broken several Guinness records by swimming in icy waters, immersing himself in ice or running a half marathon on ice. . His Wim Hof (or WHM) method combines cold therapy with breathing and meditation techniques, with the aim of improving ailments such as rheumatoid arthritis, multiple sclerosis or Parkinson's. However, several people who practiced it drowned, which has raised doubts and suspicions about the real benefits of the method. It is always convenient to ask science about serious questions and, in this case, analyze the benefits that cold water can bring to people's health. What history tells us is that its use is very old, and that science has to be there to make that use beneficial. Cryotherapy (from the Greek κρύο(ς)/kryo(s), cold and θεραπεία, cure) encompasses both immersion in cold water and the use of ice or cold air to cure or recover. A very recent historical review reveals how it has been used throughout history for therapeutic purposes to eliminate heat, reduce body temperature and reduce muscle inflammation, as well as to modify blood flow. And, in addition, it is a powerful reducer of the perception of pain, an analgesic that promotes a healthy sensation of well-being. The great physician Hippocrates already suggested cold water therapy in Ancient Greece to relieve exhaustion of strength and energy, as well as the use of ice or snow to reduce edema, being a pioneer of cryotherapy with his treatises entitled About air, water and places. From there, throughout history, interest in the physiological effects of cold water on body temperature, pulse, respiration, blood pressure and the nervous system grew. In fact, icing was a method employed by Napoleon's surgeon, who used ice or snow to help reduce pain in amputee soldiers or during operations. https://elpais.com/salud-y-bienestar/enformate/2023-04-07/como-usar-el-frio-para-recuperarnos-despues-de-hacer-ejercicio.html

The state Congress of Tennessee, in the USA, made an unusual decision on Thursday in the politics of this country: to expel two congressmen from the Democratic party for participating in mobilizations to request greater control over the sale of weapons within the state. . The legislative body, where the Republican party is in the majority, voted to expel Justin Jones and Justin Pearson. But at the same time, Gloria Johnson, another Democratic congresswoman who had participated in the protests, kept her position thanks to the fact that the vote did not reach a majority to expel her from it. This story effectively begins with a shooting: on March 27, six people, including three children, were killed in an attack at Covenant Elementary School in the city of Nashville. The attack had an enormous repercussion, especially due to the death of minors. So the senators, now known as the "Tennessee Three," were part of a massive mobilization on March 30 toward the state capitol to demand control over gun sales. "Undemocratic" Capitol sessions that day were interrupted for more than an hour. Democratic congressmen chanted "enough is enough" and "power to the people." Political analysts pointed out that Johnson was not expelled because she did not use a megaphone. However, she herself has indicated that the Republicans did not expel her because she is white, while Jones and Pearson are black. US President Joe Biden, who belongs to the Democratic Party, criticized the decision, calling it "undemocratic, unprecedented and shocking." Jones told the BBC that this decision has left around 78,000 people from one of the most diverse districts in the state unrepresented. "An extreme Republican supermajority, almost entirely a white caucus, ousted the two youngest black legislators because we were demanding action against gun violence," Jones explained. The Tennessee State House of Representatives is made up of 75 Republican congressmen and 23 Democrats. Chamber members discussed the expulsions for hours on Thursday. It is the first time such a decision has been made without bipartisan support in the modern history of the state. https://www.bbc.com/mundo/noticias-internacional-65212848

It's normal to see the OnePlus logo on a new phone, but the Chinese company also makes headphones. We've seen the Nord Buds 2 leak multiple times in recent weeks, and now the company has confirmed they're on the way. In fact, you won't have to wait much longer for OnePlus to answer all your questions. In a post on Twitter, OnePlus has confirmed that it will make the Nord Buds 2 official on April 4, 2023, which isn't that far off as we write. The company hasn't given too many details about what these headphones will do - apart from emitting sound, presumably - but we have been able to see a photo of them. They are black, although they may be offered in other colors. And they look like headphones. So at least we can confirm that the name fits. At least we have a small hint that comes in the form of confirmation of a dynamic 12.4mm titanium driver. This will be familiar to users of the original Nord Buds, so don't expect huge improvements in overall sound quality. OnePlus hasn't yet said how much these earbuds will cost, either, and while we know the release date, there's no guarantee the Nord Buds 2 will go on sale at the same time. The expectations are obviously for OnePlus to stick with the Nord Buds 2 given the end of the market they are likely to move into. But we will have to wait a bit to have a full confirmation The OnePlus Nord Buds 2 are a pair of true wireless earphones, complete with 12.4mm drivers, Bluetooth 5.3 support, IP55 sweat and water resistance, and a design that slightly resembles AirPods and AirPods Pro. supports active noise cancellation (ANC), with OnePlus promising "up to 25dB of active noise cancellation." ANC isn't unheard of (pun intended) with headphones in this price range, but it's less common than with $100+ wireless headphones. The headphones are compatible with any Bluetooth audio compatible device, but there are some features that only work when paired with a compatible OnePlus phone. There's a quick pair popup when opening the headphones, and support for Dolby Atmos sound. If you have an iPhone or a non-OnePlus Android device, you can change the settings via the HeyMelody app, but OnePlus devices don't need a separate download. https://www.pocket-lint.com/es-es/camaras/guias-del-comprador/156971-mejores-bolsas-de-camara/

Twitter has been devalued. The company has launched an incentive plan aimed at its employees that takes as a reference a company valuation of 20,000 million dollars (about 18,500 million euros, at the current exchange rate), according to an internal communication to which the media have had access. American specialists. That figure is less than half of the 44,000 million that the company was valued in the operation with which Elon Musk bought it. Musk already paid a price for Twitter that overvalued the company, not only because of the control premium he offered in the deal, but also because market conditions had suddenly changed, with digital advertising on the wane. To this was added the chaos of the arrival of the tycoon born in Pretoria (South Africa), with the dismissal of half of the staff of 7,500 employees and the resignations of hundreds. Advertisers fled at the rise of hate speech and the change in content moderation policies. In addition, a large part of the members of the commercial teams were laid off. The company also supports a large debt that it assumed as part of the operation and that not only entails a high interest charge, but also, at the same value of the assets, directly implies a lower value of the shares. The valuation of 20,000 million is not strictly a market price, but it is in the same line as the value correction that was applied at the end of last year by the manager Fidelity, whose funds are shareholders of the company. Musk maintains in the same message, however, that the social network has the opportunity to multiply its value by more than 10 if it does things right and reach 250,000 million dollars. The social network continues to apply the changes that Elon Musk has implemented, among which the promotion of the subscription model that implies that the blue check mark is paid stands out. After a transitory period in which the network has maintained the verification mark for those who had it with the previous system (which prioritized the public relevance of the user), from this April 1 only those who pay will have their blue badge. On the other hand, this weekend it has emerged that part of Twitter's source code has been leaked and has been exposed on the internet for an indeterminate period of time. The social network itself has revealed it in a legal document presented before the District Court of Northern California. According to that document, advanced by The New York Times, Twitter has asked GitHub, an Internet hosting service for software development, to remove the code from where it was published. The platform complied, saying the content had been disabled. In fact, the content of the request made by Twitter to remove the code has been posted on its website. Twitter has also asked the court to identify the alleged infringer or infringers who posted Twitter's source code on systems managed by GitHub without the social network's authorization. The leaking and exposure of the code implies risks that vulnerabilities in the platform or related to the private data of its users have been exposed. https://elpais.com/economia/2023-03-27/la-valoracion-de-twitter-cae-a-menos-de-la-mitad-desde-que-la-compro-elon-musk.html

At the end of last year, NVIDIA released its new generation of graphics cards known as the 40 Series with Ada Lovelace architecture, which came hand in hand with its most powerful models for the most demanding players, although what many others are waiting for is the arrival of the medium and entry ranges to consider its entry into this new generation. Luckily, it seems that these players are going to have to wait a short time since, according to a new leak, NVIDIA plans to launch the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4050 (the entry-level graphics card of this generation) during the month of June, closing the first half of the year. year with its main GPUs of this generation already on sale. As you can imagine at the moment there are not too many details about the desktop RTX 4050, simply that it would have 6 GB of GDDR6 memory accompanied by a 96-bit bus and that it will be based on the AD107 chip but we do not have any more official details. In case you want to get an idea of what we could find, the RTX 4050 Mobile for laptops that arrived last February has 2560 CUDA cores that is very likely to exceed the desktop version in addition to a consumption of 115W. The 4070 in April, the 4060 Ti in May... next to the 4060? If this leak is confirmed, NVIDIA would launch 4 graphics cards in 2023. Remember that the RTX 4070 Ti arrived last January and that the RTX 4070 is scheduled to arrive in April. In addition, just yesterday we told you that the RTX 4060 Ti and 4060 would be launched during the month of May, although the same leaker that points to the launch of the 4050 in June indicates that in reality NVIDIA has not yet decided on the launch date of the 4060. Actually, it points to the fact that the 4060 Ti would arrive at the end of May, but the "normal" 4060, basic or whatever you want to call it, could change dates and arrive in June along with the 4050. We'll see what happens. https://vandal.elespanol.com/noticia/w5987/la-nvidia-geforce-rtx-4050-se-pondra-a-la-venta-en-junio-segun-fuentes

The document, titled the Gateway Intermediate Workbook, can be found on the CIA website and comes from the Monroe Institute of Applied Science. This is part of his Gateway Program, a training system intended to alter states of consciousness and lead to a "gateway to different modes of perception." Inside it is a strange technique that promises to "reduce pain signals" by visualizing the body part in pain while repeating a number. The technique can be found in a part of the workbook used by the CIA that describes a number of "everyday tools," which it claims are "for use in your physical waking life." In a section on how to 'reduce pain signals', he says: "Look with your eyes closed at that part of your body that is the source of the pain signals." "While looking, repeat in your mind the number 55515." “When you do these two things, the pain signals will slowly reduce until they are no longer important.” However, the document also includes an ominous warning for those attempting to use the pain relief technique on their own. On the first page it is stated that: “The material contained in this document is intended for the personal and private use only of those who have completed the first Session of the Gateway Program. Attempted enforcement by others may result in undesirable and uncontrolled effects detrimental to any unauthorized user." The workbook was first declassified in 2003, but recently went viral on TikTok, where users say the technique works. https://www.eluniverso.com/larevista/salud/la-tecnica-secreta-de-la-cia-que-se-usa-para-eliminar-cualquier-tipo-de-dolor-nota/

In the Izu-Ogasawara Trench, in southern Japan, the team managed to film the deepest record of a fish. Scientists filmed and captured snailfish at depths of more than 8,000 meters, setting a new record. “We have spent more than 15 years researching these deep-sea snailfish; there's a lot more to them than just depth, but the maximum depth they can survive is truly astounding," said Alan Jamieson, a professor at the University of Western Australia (UWA) who worked on the study. In September 2022, the DSSV Pressure Drop research vessel set out on a two-month expedition to the deep trenches around Japan in the north Pacific Ocean. The mission was to explore the Japan, Izu-Ogasawara, and Ryukyu Trenches at 8,000m, 9,300m, and 7,300m depths, respectively, as part of a 10-year study of the world's deepest fish stocks. Jamieson, founder of the Minderoo-UWA Deep Sea Research Center and the expedition's chief scientist, worked with a team from Tokyo University of Marine Science and Technology (Japan) to deploy baited cameras in the deepest parts of the trenches, details Europe Press. In the Izu-Ogasawara Trench in southern Japan, the team managed to film the deepest record of a fish, the unknown species of snailfish in the genus Pseudoliparis, at a depth of 8,336m. A few days later, in the Japan Trench, the team collected two fish in traps at a depth of 8,022 m. These snailfish, Pseudoliparis belyaevi, were the first fish collected at depths greater than 8,000 m and have only been seen at a depth of 7,703 m in 2008. https://www.eluniverso.com/larevista/ecologia/filman-y-capturan-peces-a-mas-de-8000-metros-de-profundidad-en-japon-nota/

This initiative was born from Galapaxy with the support of the South Korean car manufacturer to increase the number of water dispensers nationwide. The indiscriminate use of single-use plastic bottles in Ecuador, which reach the rivers, which flow into the ocean and end up in the Galapagos Islands, is what Hyundai and Galapaxy, a brand focused on environmental protection in Ecuador, are trying to reduce. , with the implementation of free drinking fountains. These intelligent tools have the function of optimizing water consumption and bottle recycling and will be located in different universities in the country, the first being at the headquarters of the Catholic University of Quito and Cuenca and at the Casa Grande University of Guayaquil. The Hyundai brand is carrying out this project, based on being able to slightly lower the consumption of plastic bottles. The drinking fountains are made of purified water and people can load their thermos or drink as many times as they want. Héctor Quirós, Marketing Manager of Hyundai Ecuador. This initiative was born from Galapaxy with the support of the South Korean car manufacturer to increase the number of water dispensers nationwide and thus avoid the consumption of plastic bottles. Quirós revealed a real issue when talking about the consumption of water in this type of container. “The message is direct, avoid using single-use plastic, that is, if you have your thermos, use it, because you change it every year or every six months, on the other hand, a bottle is thrown away after using it, it is not even recycled ", mentions. In Ecuador, about five million tons of solid waste are produced, of which 25% is potentially recyclable. However, in the country only 3% of plastic bottles are recycled, according to the Hyundai executive, so the optimal thing will be to lower that consumption. https://www.eluniverso.com/larevista/ecologia/hyundai-impulsa-programa-para-disminuir-el-uso-de-botellas-plasticas-nota/

On the work table of Garbiñe Muñoz (San Sebastián, 38 years old), better known by her stage name Garbi Galatea, there are needles, scissors, awls and threads of all colors. Also hundreds of photographs, bits of other people's lives or her own that, consciously or purely by chance, have ended up in her hands. And, in her hands, a needle. He selects one of the photographs on the table: a snapshot of an unknown couple, a man and a woman, in black and white, dating from the 1960s, judging by their clothes and hairstyles. Immediately after, she begins to meticulously sew the man's face: "It seems important to me to relive memories, but it is also important that bad memories can be covered, I think the process has something of a healer." Garbi Galatea uses the photographic embroidery technique as the surgeon uses the threads to close a wound. In her project, Erased Embroidery, she covers the faces of men who have invaded or assaulted a woman with threads of pastel shades, traditionally feminine. It is a personal project, but also a collective one: “The women tell me their testimony and I search my photo archive until I find a photo that is similar to that situation. For example, if a girl experienced an invasion by her father, I try to find a photo of a father and a daughter, the same age as she was at that time, and then I cover it up, delete it, delete it”. "I always say that this technique is like doing Photoshop in a manual and artistic way," Lorena Olmedo, a plastic artist specializing in photography and textile embroidery, explains to EL PAÍS and who, like Garbi, gives workshops to get started in the world of embroidery. photographic. A technique, an art and even an unconventional form of therapy that, like other activities related to crafts such as crochet or pottery, has experienced a surge of interest during and, especially, after confinement, either to channel artistic expression, to stimulate the imagination, to free ourselves from daily stress or to disconnect from the noisy world that surrounds us. https://elpais.com/estilo-de-vida/2023-04-06/el-arte-del-bordado-fotografico-o-como-transformar-el-pasado-reciente-con-aguja-e-hilo.html

On April 1, President Guillermo Lasso signed Executive Decree 707 and authorized the possession and carrying of weapons for civilian use nationwide. In what cases can a firearm be used as legitimate defense? With this decision, people who have authorization and meet the requirements established in the Law on Weapons, Ammunition and Explosives may carry a firearm, exclusively for personal defense. After this decision by the President, the following question arises: To what extent is self-defense legal in cases where the integrity or life of a person is at risk? Penalists consulted by El Comercio assure that using legitimate defense is legal, since the person acts to defend any right, whether their own or that of others. For example, his life or his physical integrity. However, criminal defense attorney Mauricio Pacheco warns that even though a person legally carries a firearm, he will not be able to use it in the face of any threat, but only when legitimate defense is established, otherwise a crime would be committed. For a shot from a firearm to be considered legitimate defense, it must meet three requirements established in article 33 of the Comprehensive Penal Code (COIP). the three requirements The first: current and illegitimate aggression. That is, there is an imminent, real, and unjustified attack. The second: rational need for defense. This principle means a balance between the level of aggression that the victim receives and the level of defense. The third requirement: lack of sufficient provocation by those who act in defense of the law. The lawyer Wilson Velasteguí explains this requirement with an example. If the victim is at her home, sleeping, and a stranger enters, then there is a "sufficient need" to protect himself and remove the risk. Who uses the firearm should face a judicial process? Pacheco points out that whoever uses a firearm against another person will face a judicial process and a magistrate must determine whether or not they acted in legitimate defense. For example, if a person is assaulted and uses his weapon against a suspect and kills him, he will have to be detained by the Police and taken before a judge from the Flagrancy Unit. Finally, a magistrate must analyze the evidence collected by the Prosecutor's Office and the Police and determine if the shot was fired in legitimate defense or there was an overreach. https://www.elcomercio.com/actualidad/en-que-casos-se-podra-usar-un-arma-de-fuego-como-legitima-defensa.html

All this would motivate us to continue improving our equipment in order to face the missions and dungeons in search of better objects and weapons. Josh Shely, director of Diablo 4, has pointed out that the fundamental pillar is "play your way", which means that "as you progress through the story towards the content of the end you will unlock new activities with progression systems regardless of your playing style. game". "We've created an entire world of Sanctuary for you. You'll never run out of things to do," says Ash Sweetring, the game's producer. They have also detailed that there will be a total of 120 additional dungeons to be played on a much more challenging difficulty. As we increase in power, we will move from the skill tree to the legend system, offering more depth, customization, and more options.

ç Battling the hordes of blazing hells on a smartphone is just as fun and addictive an experience as it is on PC and console. But in the same way that every rose has its thorns, Diablo Immortal is not exempt from problems that keep it from excellence with a controversial system of micropayments and loot boxes that are giving people more talk than the game itself. It's no secret that the Diablo Immortal announcement hit fans like a jug of cold water, among other things due to the distrust that usually exists with free to play experiences on mobile phones. And unfortunately, some of these doubts have ended up becoming certainties with the new from Blizzard and NetEase Games already in our hands. Although this RPG action game collects a good part of the essence that makes the Diablo saga great and puts it in the palms of our hands, as we told you these days, it also has a great sin that betrays its legacy. Throughout this week we have been battling tirelessly in the world of Sanctuary both on mobile and PC, and it cannot be denied that here at 3DJuegos we have really enjoyed those cooperative games that keep you glued to the screen for hours, exterminating demons and getting a good loot. All this is present in this new free game, which I'm already telling you about, it's at a high level compared to other games of the style on mobiles and tablets. In this analysis you will notice how much I have enjoyed the experience but also, I think, you will see reflected the disappointment that I have felt before certain details. Because regardless of the quality of the action, graphics and design of Diablo Immortal, this mobile game is still prey to the main defects that characterize free to play games. Hence, in recent days there has been practically no talk of anything else, with a shower of criticism of Blizzard and some crazy situations, such as seeing a player spend $4,000 and then not receive legendary loot. I talk about all this in the analysis of Diablo Immortal. https://www.xatakandroid.com/listas/mejores-juegos-para-android-2020
