A new report related to Dead Island 2 claims that the long-awaited open-world game is closer to release than many fans expect. Announced in 2014, publisher Deep Silver has gone on to claim multiple times over the years that a Dead Island sequel is still in the works. And while these promises haven't translated into any major game reveal over the past decade, it looks like this silence should be coming to an end very soon. On a recent episode of the Sacred Symbols podcast, host Colin Moriarty shared that he's heard that Dead Island 2 might end up being re-released and released sometime later this year. Moriarty cited people who say they have knowledge of Dead Island 2 and its development. As for when the game might end up coming out, Moriarty said that September or October 2022 could be when the game will launch. If this comes to fruition, then a new presentation of the title would be expected in the coming months. Overall, this would be a very logical move on Deep Silver's part given how long Dead Island 2 has been in development. With an eight year gap between its announcement and its possible release, this is a game that people might have lost interest in, it will all depend on the next big trailer. Dead Island: Riptide is clearly a DLC from the first Dead Island, although it is true that they fix many bugs from the first installment, it still has too many. Gameplay: It's still like the first game, plus it becomes repetitive until saying enough, the weapons are the same, the levels are the same, the zombies don't change, only some new ones come out. Graphics: Copy & Paste from the first one, there is no graphic improvement, at least I haven't seen it enough to notice a big difference. Despite being "compliant" graphics, they leave much to be desired. Sound: Another copy and paste, a game that is not dubbed into Spanish and the ambient sound is not very good. Complete, nothing more. Innovation and duration: Innovation gets a star, it does not innovate anything except some landscapes and zombies and little else. Regarding the duration, it is the only thing that saves it, supposedly lasting more than 20 hours, but the game is so boring and repetitive that you will want to finish it as soon as possible. https://www.gamecored.com/un-informe-sobre-dead-island-2-afirma-que-la-fecha-de-lanzamiento-esta-mas-cerca-de-lo-esperado/

One of the most complex garden materials to understand is the substrate. To understand it, you have to start with the definition. A substrate is simply a growing medium for plants in a container. And what is a container? Any container with a limited height where plants are grown. It is almost essential that this container has an outlet for excess water from irrigation, so that there are no root rot problems. To that substrate that fills a pot, one of the many types of fertilizer is applied from time to time, which are the necessary nutrients for the correct growth of the plant. With these three concepts explained —substrate, container and compost— it would then be necessary to make it clear that garden soil, no matter how good it is, should not be used to fill a pot or a planter. Many times it is thought that this fertile, moist and spongy soil can also work well in a container. But the reality is different, and it ends up becoming a hard and compacted stone, in which the roots grow with difficulty. In a growing medium we need very specific parameters. We must not forget, even if it seems obvious, that the roots of a plant cannot explore beyond the prison that a pot represents, and that within that container we must provide everything that the root needs: air, water, nutrients. An ideal substrate should have, first of all, a high aeration capacity, which is achieved with a pore space greater than 80%. Those who have taken a handful of some good substrate in their hand, and have squeezed it, will have verified how it is impossible to compact it. This is due to this quality that it must have: that of allowing a good amount of air in the substrate, even when it has just been watered. A very heard phrase is this: "What a bad land, as soon as I water it, the water comes out of the holes!". This is precisely what is sought in a good and professional substrate, that there is no excessive water retention once that substrate has been hydrated. In this way, the root will enjoy two of the things that make it happy, such as oxygen and water. Thus, we see how the substrates that are marketed are made up of different components, which in turn can also be called substrates: peat, coconut fiber, perlite... Each one of them has a function and contributes some quality to that mixture. On the one hand, organic materials are usually needed in a substrate (such as the aforementioned peat or coconut fiber, pine bark, wood fiber...), which provide water retention and nutrient reserves, thus explained in a simple way. . On the other hand, in the mixtures of substrates, mineral materials are added (such as silica sand, river sand, perlite, vermiculite...), which mainly provide drainage and aeration, although many of them also offer water to the roots of the plants. floors. Others are added to these organic and mineral components, such as clay or calcium carbonate, which improve nutrient retention or make the pH more suitable for cultivation. Finally, it should be mentioned that the prepared substrates incorporate a background fertilizer, which is a contribution of nutrients so that the plant has a fertility that allows it to grow in the first two or three months of cultivation. https://elpais.com/estilo-de-vida/2023-04-02/raices-sanas-plantas-felices-como-elegir-el-mejor-sustrato-para-las-macetas.html

Ariel, the English firm that created the Ace, Atom and also its off-road version, the Nomad, have released their first model in quite some time, which for now we will know as Hipercar (which also means High-Performance Carbon Reduction). And what is the hypercar? Due to its design, it looks like a car taken from Cyberpunk 2077 or a kind of miniature Batmobile, full of spoilers, air intakes and of course everything made of carbon fiber. It's an oddball that looks like a cross between a Group B rally car and a fighter jet. But underneath all this fancy architecture lies the magic, because you won't see a Honda engine here like in previous Ariels. This is an electric car and a very powerful one, which combines four independent 285 Hp and 332 lb-ft motors (manufactured by Equipmake), with a 62 kWh battery and an 800 volt system. The result? 1,185 Hp and 1,328 torque. With this, the new Hipercar reaches 100 km/h in less than 2.5 seconds. But there is another figure that is also surprising, what it takes to recover from 60 to 120 miles, which is something like between 100 and 200 km/h (97 to 193 km/h, to be exact): just 3.51 seconds. In other words, as if to recommend not eating anything before handling it. The only problem is that the autonomy is not very good, let's say only 241 kilometers. Of course, here comes the second Hipercar gadget, a "mini-jet" manufactured by Cosworth that generates 47 Hp and that will serve to extend the range of this car. In addition, according to the brand, this turbine could work with hydrogen. Just in case, its dimensions are 4.29 meters long, with 2.68 meters between axes and a height of just 1.35 meters. According to Autocar colleagues, it is almost 10 centimeters smaller than a BMW Z4. For now the car is still in evaluations, but without a doubt, it will be a little beast. What remains for the brand, apart from defining the final name, the interior and the final details of this car, is to see how to make the Hipercar have the same dynamism as the Atom, because this car weighs a ton more, that is 1.5 tons. Aluminum chassis, Michelin Pilot Sport Cup 2 tires, coilovers, AP brakes and more will come into play here. The final version of this model should reach the market during 2025, with a price of 840 thousand dollars. A single-wheel drive version will also be developed, which is sure to be crazy, no matter how less powerful it is. https://noticias.autocosmos.com.ec/2022/09/07/ariel-hipercar-es-un-mini-batimovil-electrico-con-mas-de-1000-hp

The United Nations declared the period 2022 -2032 as the International Decade of the World's Indigenous Languages (IDIL) approved with resolution A/RES/74/135[1] with the purpose of preserving the native languages of the world, and whose organization such as UNESCO would be in charge of carrying out related activities. It is important to promote public policies with an inclusive approach and achieve the participation of governments and achieve more sustainable indigenous peoples (economic, social, environmental, etc.) with equal opportunities and recognition of their rights. There is currently a platform that promotes the participation of the global community of indigenous languages[2] within the framework of this International Decade. In Peru, the linguistic panorama turns out to be very varied, since the country is considered to be multilingual and multicultural, and that, according to the National Document of Original Languages of Peru[3], there are 47 original languages in force, of which 43 are Amazonian and 4 are Andean, with Quechua being the language spoken in most regions of the country. Having current information on the situation of languages in the country makes it important for decision-making and for generating links with other sectors, such as the education sector, which seeks to give better attention to the current demands of girls, children and adolescents with an intercultural and bilingual approach, this prioritized as part of a National Policy for Intercultural Education and Bilingual Intercultural Education approved by Supreme Decree No. 006-2016-MINEDU. In addition, knowing that there are writing guides and manuals focused on this language is key material and of important use for teachers, as a result of different spaces for co-creation and consensus, as is the case of the Quechua Alphabet Plan, approved with Resolution Ministerial No. 1218-85-ED, and that as these exchanges take place between indigenous leaders, community authorities, among other participants, some modifications of their variants are generated.

It is important to generate initiatives with an intercultural approach because it reinforces the role of inclusion at the educational level due to the participation of those involved (girls, boys and adolescents, parents, tutors, principals, among others) inside and outside the classroom. , recognizing the challenges that exist in terms of learning, and regarding teachers their interest in generating an impact on students through the use of appropriate educational training tools to create knowledge in accordance with the reality where they exercise their functions, promote the integration and participation of the students, as well as proposing strategies towards the adaptation of the study plans according to the worldview of the community, since it is a great job that requires not only the participation and involvement of bilingual teachers, but also for those who are in the process of learning other languages, so having efficient methodological tools that allow generating a validation space with the members of communities, especially recognizing their relationship with education and their current demands, such as participatory processes as part of an educational policy and the promotion of interculturality with a vision of the future. And, as part of the creation of spaces for participation, it would allow students to have better opportunities and learning achievements in the medium and long term, even to face technological development, as long as they preserve their local culture and without impediments from the barrier of other languages. https://iqlatino.org/como-pensar-en-una-educacion-inclusiva/

Artificial intelligence programs such as ChatGPT also have a "dark side" in the eyes of the European Police, Europol, an entity that warns that criminal networks can take advantage of this type of tool for their own benefit. The report 'ChatGPT, the impact of broad language models in the application of the law', aims to shed light on possible unwanted effects of tools aimed at processing, mani[CENSORED]ting and generating texts and with access to a wide range of data. Europol has identified several areas of "concern" about these programs, whose ability to produce "very realistic" texts could make them attractive for phishing tactics to trick potential victims by posing as companies or individuals. The institution also fears the effects in terms of "misinformation", since it allows users to generate texts with a very specific narrative and with little effort, which allows "the model to be ideal for propaganda purposes." On the other hand, it has warned that the fact that ChatGPT is also capable of producing programming codes can lead to criminals "with little technical knowledge" being able to access "malicious" systems with little effort, details Europa Press. ChatGPT can be used to obtain information on a large number of potential crime areas without prior knowledge, ranging from breaking into a home to terrorism, cybercrime and child sexual abuse, it says. Europol has stressed that this report aims to raise awareness about the challenges of artificial intelligence, give rise to a new dialogue with companies and help them also get involved in the development of "safe and reliable" systems. In fact, the institution has made a larger study available to the security forces than the one it has made public. ChatGPT is an artificial intelligence system that can generate highly coherent written content that is very similar to that created by humans. Despite the errors and shortcomings that still exist, the capacity already demonstrated by the program, and its potential to improve in the long term, arouses not only admiration, but also fear. The European Union (EU) is working on a bill to regulate artificial intelligence applications. https://www.wradio.com.ec/post/inteligencia-artificial-incrementará-diversidad-de-delitos-advierte-informe-de-europol

The question of whether or not dinosaurs had lips has been the subject of debate among hobbyists and some experts for years. Discussions have often centered on whether the addition of lips, like the fluffy body coverings, made dinosaurs less impressive and frightening to their fans than traditional toothed representations, and what evidence might justify such a change. AND The new study finally offers some tangible evidence to settle the question, going beyond aesthetics to delve into the biology of extinct animals. "There are many interpretations in paleoart. It's good to have scientific data to back it up," says Brink, a paleontologist at the University of Manitoba. The proof of the discovery: the evolution of the dinosaurs To determine whether dinosaurs like T. rex had exceptionally long teeth, Cullen (now at Auburn University), Brink, and their colleagues examined the anatomy of living lizards and crocodiles, the microscopic structure of dinosaur teeth, and compared the tooth size with skull dimensions in species ranging from T. rex to smaller carnivores such as Velociraptor and Coelophysis. The star specimen, however, was the T. rex nicknamed Sue, the largest and most complete representative of the famous species (and exhibited at the Field Museum in Chicago). Although Sue appeared to have extra-long jaws, paleontologists found that her teeth had the same ratio to skull size as those of modern-day monitor lizards, and therefore did not require extraordinary lips to cover them. A fundamental part of the research was to find modern analogues. Modern birds (descendants of dinosaurs) lack teeth, and crocodiles are evolved reptiles that live in water. However, while not as closely related, reptiles like monitor lizards are more useful because of their kinship with dinosaur anatomy. (Discover more: They find a bird from the age of dinosaurs trapped in amber) "This study is great paleontological forensic detective work," says University of Edinburgh paleontologist Steve Brusatte, who was not involved in the new research. General analysis of it suggests that T. rex and other similar dinosaurs did not have very long teeth for their size: the lips could have easily covered their teeth. Most tellingly, dinosaur tooth enamel is relatively thin, and would have been prone to drying out if constantly exposed to air. The lips would have kept their teeth moist and functional, something crocodiles don't have to worry about as aquatic animals. "Cullen and his colleagues make an excellent case for the presence of extraoral tissues in non-avian theropods," says University of Pennsylvania paleontologist Ali Nabavizadeh, who was not involved in the new study. Lips may not be unique to theropods. Recent studies of various herbivorous dinosaurs, such as long-necked sauropods and horned ceratopsians, have found evidence of gums, cheeks, and other soft tissue covering their teeth. https://www.nationalgeographicla.com/ciencia/2023/03/se-termino-el-mito-el-tiranosaurio-rex-tenia-labios-y-cumplian-un-rol-impensado#:~:text=A pesar de que Sue,unos labios extraordinarios para cubrirlos.

You better start memorizing your wishes now, because in 2025 hundreds of shooting stars will rise into the sky, after being launched from a satellite. These will constitute the world's first artificial meteor shower by space company ALE, which will take place over Japan. Shooting stars appear when Earth passes through a cloud of debris left behind by comets and asteroids in their orbit. The particles emit light because they heat up rapidly as they travel through the atmosphere at high speeds. For this project, called "SKY CANVAS," repeating meteor particles will be stuck onto a satellite at an altitude of 250 miles (400 km) and then shot over a defined area. The world's first artificial meteor shower will be carried out by space startup ALE over Japan For this project, called "SKY CANVAS," the particles will be attached to a satellite at an altitude of 250 miles (400 km) and then released over a designated area. Pictured: ALE-1 satellite These metallic particles will be balls about 0.4 inches (1 cm) in diameter and a few grams in mass. What is star photography? Shooting stars are the appearance of meteorites (small pieces of dust or rock) that pass through the Earth's atmosphere. They emit light because they heat up quickly as they travel through the air at high speeds. There are between six and ten "scattered" meteors each night throughout the year, but during "meteor showers" this increases dramatically. Showers occur when Earth passes through a large cloud of debris left behind by comets and asteroids in their orbit. READ The Red Planet Mars Landing Rover's Last Selfie Shows Why Its Mission Ended The pea-sized balls contain a secret chemical formula that causes them to ignite from the friction of reentry, at speeds of up to five miles ( 8 kilometers) per second. ALE says they will travel slower and brighter than normal stars, up to ten seconds each. It will be visible to stargazers within 125 miles (200 km). The ingredients in the pellets can be modified to change the color of each glowing streak, meaning a multi-colored fleet of shooting stars can be created. After about two years in orbit, the backpack-sized satellite will re-enter the atmosphere and disintegrate completely, preventing it from becoming space junk. The light show will not only be a visual treat for stargazers, but will also help collect data about the third layer of Earth's atmosphere – the 'mesosphere'. This is not an easy area to study, as aircraft and planes cannot fly high enough to reach it, but it is too low to be observed by satellite. But scientists will be able to gather information about wind speed and atmospheric composition by tracking the trajectory and light emission of artificial meteorites. ALE engineers will be able to control the position, speed, and time of meteor particles to help conduct experiments. https://prematch.com.ar/la-primera-lluvia-de-meteoritos-artificiales-del-mundo-tendra-lugar-en-2025-sobre-japon/

We are on our way to two months since Netflix announced the end of free shared accounts, but not all the controversy that this issue generated has made them back down, nor do they seem to be thinking of changing their advances in the field of video games. Because yes, maybe you didn't even know it, but Netflix has had mobile games since they landed first on the Android app in 2021 and then on the iOS app. And apart from continuing to release new titles like the exclusive version of 'Exploding Kittens' launched almost a year ago, the platform seems to be willing to bring its video games to televisions as well, although perhaps not natively. At least first, since the latest indications that have appeared make us see their intentions that they continue to be mobile games, but with the ability to take them to a large screen like a television. In the absence of controls, good are the mobiles As we already said, the Netflix video game catalog is relegated to the mobile platform on Android and iOS. However, researcher Steve Moser has discovered in the code of the iPhone app a clear sign that these titles can be played on a television, although using the iPhone as a controller. Although at the moment it is only a track and not a functionality announced by Netflix. Specifically, there is a message alerting that a controller is necessary for Netflix games on a television, using an iPhone for it. This a priori tells us that the option that the iPhone could serve as controls for the games would be being explored, but it leaves some doubts in the air. The first is whether these games will run on the iPhone and be sent to the television via AirPlay or if, on the contrary, they will be one hundred percent native games from television systems such as Android TV, tvOS, WebOS, Tizen and company that require an external element. with which to control it. The second option makes all the sense in the world if we take into account that television controls seem like accessories that are not suitable for video games. https://www.xatakamovil.com/aplicaciones/netflix-quiere-que-juegues-a-sus-videojuegos-tele-tener-movil-compatible-sera-clave

An excellent game for racing fans! Asphalt 9: Legends is one of the most po[CENSORED]r racing games. With blazing speed mechanics and excellent visual effects, the game attracts players from all over the world.

If you choose to play "Career Mode", you will be able to challenge players from all over the world to become one of the best racers on the planet. A fast paced game with outstanding graphics. Asphalt 9: Legends is quite po[CENSORED]r among casual mobile gamers. However, the game has gained a lot of attention with a great PC release. The latest version of the po[CENSORED]r racing game series comes with easy controls, arcade-style experience, and stunning graphics. Although you have the option to choose between several cars and more than 70 tracks, Asphalt 9 Legends Windows 10 has been especially famous for the visual details and enhancements. Is Asphalt 9 a good game? When you start playing Asphalt 9 Legends for PC you will notice some striking similarities to the previous version of the game. There are "Daily Events", "Online Multiplayer Mode" and "Career Mode". While "Career Mode" comes with unlockable seasons that require you to complete each race with excellent results, Asphalt 9 focuses on a wide range of events to keep you interested.

Overall, Asphalt 9 is an excellent game that keeps you hooked thanks to the improved graphics, simplicity and the large number of tracks and cars. Subtle gameplay improvements When it comes to the racing itself, you'll notice that Gameloft hasn't changed the gameplay much. However, there are some nice additions that make downloading Asphalt 9: Legends more fun and interesting. For example, you can use the "Nitro" button on the screen to get an extra boost. There is also a feature called "Nitro Shockwave" that returns from Asphalt 7: Heat. When the "Nitro" bar is full, this button gives you an impressive boost of speed. In "Shockwave Mode" you can see a purple contrail, which looks amazing in terms of graphics and detail. It's worth mentioning that "Shockwave Mode" drains the fuel tank fairly quickly and should only be used in certain scenarios. Similarly, with the brake button you can drift around corners to gain momentum. Depending on the circumstances on screen, you can perform a 360-degree spin, which quickly adds more nitro to the fuel tank. With simple controls yet packed with features, Asphalt 9 for PC is an excellent game for racing fans. https://asphalt-9-legends.softonic.com/

Lolita, the orca at the Miami Seaquarium, will be released after more than 50 years in captivity. Florida aquarium officials reached an agreement with volunteers from the Friends of Lolita, an animal rights organization, to release the animal and move it to the Pacific Northwest within two years. The plan to return Lolita to the sea is not immediate nor will it be easy. The complicated logistics to move the orca, weighing more than 2,260 kilos, requires coordination between different actors. Miami-Dade Mayor Daniella Levine Cava called the deal "historic." "Many have waited and prayed for this result for many years," she said Thursday at a press conference, and assured that Lolita will be supervised by the municipality until her release is finalized. For half a century, 57-year-old Lolita, also known by the name of Toki, was the aquarium's top attraction, but also a symbol of environmental groups. The previous owner of the Seaquarium, SeaWorld Entertainment Inc, progressively reduced the shows with orcas as of 2016. In March 2022 Lolita was removed from shows, after a management change at the aquarium, according to Reuters. "There is still a lot of work to be done. But I think we are up to it," said Pritam Singh of the Friends of Lolita organization. Life in the sea Keiko, the whale on which the movie Free Willy was based, was able to survive for only a year after her release. Therefore, the question is now what will happen to Lolita after a lifetime in captivity. To guarantee her survival, she will first be in a marine pen with a net, where the trainers will accompany her in the process of joining the natural environment. But Lolita will not be alone. Two dolphins will accompany her in the plan to release her in the Pacific. The orca will have to travel the country from end to end: from Miami, in the southeast, to the northwestern coast. The animals will be transferred in a traveling tank, then in the lower part of an airplane, later in a truck and finally, a barge with a crane will leave them at sea, according to the Miami Herald newspaper. Orcas are social mammals that have no natural predators and can live up to 80 years. The prohibition of animal confinement, as well as the use of them for entertainment, is one of the main criticisms of animal protection groups. https://www.bbc.com/mundo/noticias-internacional-65144430

The Vietnam War (1955-75) was one of the bloodiest in recent history, with more than 2.5 million deaths. But, above all, it is remembered as the biggest defeat for the United States in a war. This week marks the 50th anniversary of the departure of the last US troops from Vietnam on March 29, 1973. The withdrawal order by then-President Richard Nixon was decisive, as the weak peace process that accompanied it paved the way for the victory of the North Vietnamese army two years later. When war broke out in 1955 between communist North Vietnam, with Hanoi as its capital, and capitalist South Vietnam led from Saigon, the latter began to receive US support in the form of logistics, training, weapons, and ammunition. In 1965, the North American country sent its first troops and entered the conflict fully, confident that its overwhelming military superiority would bring it a quick victory. Equipped with modern aircraft carriers, fighters, bombers, helicopters, and missiles, it was up against the rifles, grenades, tanks, and flak artillery of the much thinner North Vietnamese Army and Viet Cong forces. The United States dropped some 7.5 million tons of bombs in North Vietnam, South Vietnam, Laos and Cambodia, more than those detonated in all of World War II by both sides and the largest amount recorded to date in a conflict. armed. To these were added some 400,000 tons of napalm, 75 million liters of Agent Orange and other herbicides, and hundreds of millions of artillery rounds, according to estimates. Against all odds, however, the communists led by Ho Chi Minh - and, after his death in 1969, by his successor Ton Duc Thang - emerged victorious. How could this happen? Ruthless leadership and determination "You can kill ten of my men for every one of yours we kill. But even so, you will lose and we will win." Ho Chi Minh's omen would come true, although he was never able to see it when he died of heart failure at the age of 79 in the middle of the war. https://www.bbc.com/mundo/noticias-internacional-65059687

The Amazon is the most biodiverse biome on the planet, but some of the incredible animals found in the jungle (even if they are not aggressive) can seriously injure humans. National Geographic selected 4 of these animals and this is what you need to know: 1. Dendrobatidae: the colorful and poisonous frogs Coming in a variety of brilliant yellows, oranges, reds, greens, and blues, frogs in the Dendrobatidae family are considered one of the most toxic or poisonous species on Earth. Originally from the Amazon, they use their colors as warning signals to potential predators and humans. This is because its poison is quite powerful. According to the Butantan Institute, these frogs feed on ants, beetles or mites which, in turn, feed on poisonous fungi. An article in this medium points to a specific species of the Dendrobatidae family: the golden arrow frog (Phyllobates terribilis), considered the most poisonous vertebrate in the world. In addition, the institute indicates that the venom of this deadly species is 8,750 times more lethal than that of a yarara snake. Candiru, the "vampire fish" Another Amazon species that causes alert is the candirú fish (Vandellia cirrhosa), known as "vampire fish". According to data from the Encyclopedia of Life, maintained by the Smithsonian's National Museum of Natural History, the animal is hematophagous, that is, it feeds on blood, usually from other fish, but it can also attack people, causing cuts. superficial. However, what scares those who enter the waters of the Amazon rivers the most is that this animal is capable of entering body openings, such as the penis, anus and vagina. The city council of Belém, capital of the state of Pará, in Brazil, warns in its official publications about the animal. The "vampire fish" is found throughout the Amazon basin, such as in the Amazon, Negro, Tapajós, and Madeira rivers. The velvet snake: the most common in the Amazon The Bothrops atrox (commonly known as the velvet snake, yellow beard, nauyaca, nauhyacatl or four noses, and mahuaquite) occurs in almost all of northern South America, being widely distributed in the Amazon basin, which rises in the Peruvian Andes and flows into in the Atlantic, at the mouth of the Amazon River. According to the Amazon Museum (MUSA), a research and cultural institution that occupies 100 hectares of the Adolpho Ducke Forest Reserve, of the National Amazon Research Institute (INPA), in Manaus, the animal (which is poisonous) reaches a average length of 1.5 meters, and is one of the most common and abundant species in the Amazon biome. The electric fish why MUSA explains that the rechargeable biobatteries occupy 3/4 parts of the animal's body and power the creation of an electric field that surrounds it like a sensitive layer. (Read also: Meet 5 dangerous marine animals) This layer works almost like a "GPS" for the fish, allowing it to detect obstacles and other fish, since its vision is poor. When this layer is disturbed by predator or prey, it intensifies the electrical field, causing a discharge that either drives away the attacker or paralyzes the prey, which it locates and devours. One species in particular, the Electrophorus voltai, is capable of producing electrical discharges with a voltage of 860 volts, which can paralyze or even kill a person. https://www.nationalgeographicla.com/animales/2023/03/estos-4-animales-amazonicos-pueden-ser-peligrosos-para-los-humanos

It may be about to get even more attractive, because a Japanese source indicates that Toyota plans to finally offer a high-performance Prius under its GR brand, just like the 86, Supra and Corolla. A high-performance Prius available this 2023 According to Best Car, which predicted the Corolla GR in 2020, Toyota plans to introduce a high-performance Prius between late 2023 and spring 2024. Tentatively named the GRMN model (technically above GR level), this Prius will receive an upgraded body, with additional tack welds and industrial adhesives to reinforce the GA-C chassis that it shares with the Corolla GR. It will also get upgrades to the brakes, suspension and the unique interior trim you'd expect from a GR model. There's no word on what Toyota will do with the GR Prius' powertrain, but Best Car is sure it will be based on the plug-in hybrid model, which we know as the Prius Prime. There seems to be some doubt about the potential of its naturally aspirated 2.0-liter four-cylinder Atkinson-cycle engine, so there's no telling what will power it. But even a modest increase in power would put it in Subaru WRX territory, with better fuel economy and much better looks. Since the Prius shares a platform with the Corolla, another option might be to use the GR version's furious 1.6-liter turbocharged three-cylinder engine. However, that would shoot up the development cost (and thus the price), since that powertrain has yet to be combined with hybrid power. Whatever the solution, it looks like we won't have to wait long to see what pans out. Let's just hope Toyota doesn't strictly limit its production like it does with the GR Corolla, though let's not cross our fingers. https://siempreauto.com/un-informe-revela-que-se-acerca-la-version-de-rendimiento-del-toyota-prius-grmn/

control your weight Although the mechanism is not clear, different studies suggest a causal effect of increased body mass index in MS and speak of a possible inflammatory role of this. In addition, obesity is a cardiovascular risk factor. The World Health Organization recommends balancing our body weight in order to reduce the risk of suffering from health problems such as diabetes, hypertension and other cardiovascular diseases. Reduces salt intake There are researchers who associate the consumption of salt in the diet with an increase in the activity of the disease. It is also associated with numerous health problems such as hypertension, cardiac disorders, fluid retention... You can choose to add herbs or spices to season your meals (pepper, garlic powder, cumin, saffron...) or low-sodium dietary salt. Remember that sausages, pre-cooked products and snack foods tend to have a high salt content. sleep enough hours Sleep is involved in the restoration of the central nervous system and allows us to restore physical and psychological functions. If we do not rest well we will experience an increase in fatigue, drowsiness during the day, decreased physical and mental performance. If you have trouble sleeping, and you want to achieve a healthy lifestyle, avoid the consumption of stimulating drinks or foods, do relaxing activities before going to sleep and eat some food that makes you sleep easier. Try to reduce stress In studies with animal models and in clinical observations with humans, stress hormones have been shown to modify the functioning of the immune system. To avoid this, you should integrate into your daily routine activities that can help you relax: breathing exercises, meditation, painting mandalas or listening to music. Get regular physical activity Almost any type of regular physical activity has a positive impact on the evolution of the disease, disability and some symptoms such as fatigue. In addition, physical activity, among other healthy habits, is essential to prevent overweight and cardiovascular diseases. Practice mild-moderate intensity physical exercise, such as walking for 30 to 60 minutes, at least three days a week. https://www.fem.es/es/10-estilos-de-vida-saludables-que-debes-tener-en-cuenta-si-tienes-esclerosis-multiple/#:~:text=Realiza actividad física regularmente&text=Además%2C la actividad física%2C entre,menos tres días por semana.

Finland will become NATO's 31st member on Tuesday, the Secretary General of the Atlantic Alliance announced. The Russian invasion of Ukraine has been the trigger for which this Nordic country, which shares a border with Russia, decided to apply for membership in the organization. "We will fly the Finnish flag for the first time here at NATO headquarters. It will be a good day for Finland's security, for Nordic security and for NATO as a whole," said NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg. , in Brussels. "Sweden will also be safer as a result," he added. The country applied to join the organization in 2022, but its entry was delayed by reluctance from Turkey, which complained that Finland supported "terrorists". Sweden applied to join NATO at the same time as the Finnish government, but Ankara continues to block its entry over similar complaints. Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan has accused the Swedish government of harboring Kurdish militants from the Kurdistan Workers' Party, which the Ankara government views as terrorists, and allowing them to demonstrate on the streets of Stockholm. Any expansion of NATO needs the support of all its members. How Finland has prepared for decades for a potential conflict with Russia Finland, a country that shares a 1,340 km border with Russia and boasts one of the most powerful artillery arsenals in Western Europe, decided to abandon its neutrality and join the alliance in response to the large-scale invasion of Ukraine by from your neighbor. Although Sweden has no border with Russia, the war has also motivated Stockholm to opt for membership. One of NATO's fundamental principles is that of collective defense, which means that an attack on one member country is treated as an attack on all. https://www.bbc.com/mundo/noticias-internacional-65163112

In the United States, more than 4,000 people were killed in automobile accidents in 1913. This was the same year that Henry Ford mass-produced automobiles with his assembly line. The roads that were used were not designed for such high levels of traffic. When vehicles, cyclists, and streetcars met at an intersection, chaos often ensued. Many times there were collisions. Police officers found themselves in a dangerous situation when they stood in the middle of this traffic, blowing whistles and waving their arms to direct drivers. Many drivers did not pay attention to the police. gas operated device The official use of the first traffic light occurred in London on December 10, 1868. On this date, a traffic signaling device was placed in Parliament Square in London. The system consisted of two mobile signals. Each was attached to movable arms that were controlled by a lever. At the top was a gas-lit traffic light designed to provide visibility. It only lasted two months. That's when the device exploded, killing the police officer operating it. wire bird classroom Lester Wire was a police officer in Salt Lake City in 1912 and was the head of the traffic squad. He created the first electric traffic signal. The first device was a wooden box that had a sloped roof. It had red and green lights on all four sides. Wire had dipped the lights in red and green paint. His device was then attached to a 10-foot pole. It was connected to the electric lines of the trams. The device was operated by a police officer on the side of the road. People often referred to it as "the wire bird cage" because of its appearance. His next version was made of durable metal from an old locomotive engine smokestack. The system is said to have worked well. Wire was considering patenting his device, but was drafted into World War I and was unable to complete the patent process. cleveland There was quite a bit of traffic chaos on the streets of the city of Cleveland, OH, during 1913. An engineer named James Hoge was from Cleveland and thought he would provide a way to handle it. He patented a device similar to Lester Wire's. He used the red and green signals used by the railways. Hoge's device also used the electricity that was used on the tram lines. He is credited with the patent for the first municipal traffic control system. The first official electric traffic light was installed on August 5, 1914. The location was Cleveland, Ohio, on Euclid Avenue at 105th Street. Drivers entering this intersection would see two lights over the road and a police officer sitting in a booth located on a nearby sidewalk. The policeman would control the signals by flipping switches. https://tibtit.com/487498/sabias-que-la-historia-de-los-semaforos/

Italy became the first Western country to block the ChatGPT artificial intelligence program. The Italian government agency for data protection announced that there are privacy concerns related to the chatbot created by the American company OpenAI and which is backed by Microsoft. Italian authorities reported that the ban and investigation of the matter have "immediate effect" . Millions of people around the world have used ChatGPT since its launch in November 2022. The program can answer questions using human-like language and mimic different styles of writing. Microsoft has spent billions of dollars on the chatbot that has been added to the Bing search engine since February. It also recently said it will incorporate a version of the technology into its Office applications, including Word, Excel, PowerPoint and Outlook. Concerns about the risks AI's potentials have been rampant in recent months, including its ability to kill jobs and spread misinformation. "Out of control" This week, a group of AI experts and tech industry executives, including Elon Musk, called for a six-month hiatus on training powerful AI systems, arguing it is a potential threat to humanity. The statement, signed by more than 1,000 people, notes that there is an "out-of-control" race in the development of this type of technology. The Italian regulatory body said it would not only block the OpenAI chatbot, but also investigate whether it complies with the General Data Protection Regulation. "User conversations and payment information" Prior to the decision to block ChatGPT, authorities had noted on March 20 that the app incurred a data breach related to user conversations and payment information. At the time, the regulator maintained that there was no legal basis to justify "the massive collection and storage of personal data for the purpose of 'training' the algorithms on which the operation of the platform is based." It also said that since there is no way to verify the age of users and that the application "exposes minors to responses that are totally inappropriate compared to their level of development and awareness."Bard, the rival artificial intelligence chatbot developed by Google, It is currently available only to users over the age of 18. https://www.bbc.com/mundo/noticias-65142505

The pink dolphin (Inia geoffrensis), known locally as bufeo, is the largest species of river dolphin, with a maximum length of 2.5 meters in length. Although it is called the pink dolphin, adults can be pink or gray in color and newborns are always grey. The female gives birth to a single calf after 11 to 12 months of gestation, and it remains with its mother until it is 2 years old. It feeds on more than 50 different species of fish, sometimes eating crabs, mollusks, and freshwater turtles. It is the only dolphin that has a flexible neck, which can be moved from side to side, which is an advantage when navigating through the trees in flooded forests. The pink river dolphin is a solitary species, mothers are generally found with their young, or maximum in groups of up to 4 individuals. The pink dolphin is widely distributed between the river systems of the Orinoco and the Amazon, of Venezuela, Colombia, Ecuador, Peru and Brazil. Also known as Boto, Tonina or Amazon dolphin, because it lives in the river of the same name, although it also lives in the Orinoco basins and the upper part of the Madeira River in Bolivia. It is the most po[CENSORED]r of the five river-dwelling dolphin species due to its unusual color, as well as being the largest species. According to Amazonian tradition, the Boto is an enchanter, a magical creature that sometimes takes human form and emerges from the river to seduce men and women and lead them to its enchanted underwater city. It is said to pose as a person wearing a hat to hide the blowhole and a bulbous forehead. THREATS The pink dolphin is listed as an Endangered (EN) species, both on the Ecuadorian Red List and on the IUCN Red List. The greatest threat that this species faces is the contamination of rivers by oil activities, disposal of fuel oils, and fishing with dynamite (Tirira, 2017). https://ecuador.wcs.org/es-es/Especies/Especies-acuáticas/Delfín-rosado.aspx

complicated picture If you read comments on social networks, we all love two-door sports cars. In addition, there are many voices that are raised against the "Crossoverization" of the market, blaming the brands for this trend. However, when we look at the sales figures, the story is very different. Sedans, hatchbacks, coupes, convertibles, minivans and station wagons all fight for a small share of the market, while buyers leave dealerships with SUVs/Crossovers or, at best, pick-ups. Chevrolet Camaro Concept 2006 Farewell to the Chevrolet Camaro Thus, it is not uncommon to hear of a model that disappears; Unfortunately, this time the one that bites the dust is a classic that had received a second chance: the Chevrolet Camaro. The swan song for the General Motors Muscle Car comes with the 2024 model, which will leave the Lansing Grand River Michigan assembly line for good in January of next year. Camaro Collector's Edition Of course, there will be a final Collector's Edition Chevrolet Camaro, available in RS and SS models for 2024, with a few units, number yet to be determined, trimmed in ZL1. With an initial print run between 1966 and 2002 that spanned four generations, the Chevrolet Camaro went on hiatus after failing to withstand the first onslaught that the Coupe segment received, right with the first wave of body-on-frame SUVs and the timid beginning of Crossovers. monocoque, which would end up dominating the market. Renaissance and debacle His return in 2010 received a lot of attention, both for its aggressive and sharp retro-Techno design and for its connection to the Transformers saga. The smoother, more streamlined design of the sixth generation received a rather lukewarm response, which the 2019 redesign, corrected just a model-year later, didn't fix. Despite powerful models with strong track polish, such as the Chevrolet Camaro ZL1 1LE, staying away from the performance war between the Mustang and the Challenger did not help much either, showing that GM was no longer willing to invest more on the plate. https://queautocompro.com/chevrolet-anuncia-el-final-de-uno-de-sus-modelos-mas-iconicos/#:~:text=El 2024 será el último,el final para la placa.&text=KIA K5 GT vs.
