Most of the users use Windows as the operating system on their computers and are delighted, although this software also has many detractors. There are some concepts, as in this case, that Microsoft should take into account when developing its projects. This is the case of this design based on the old Windows 8 that probably most of you will remember. And it is that in the past year 2012 the software giant launched this version of the operating system on the market that was far from successful at first. One of Microsoft's main goals in this case was to unify the experience across all devices, both desktop and mobile. However, the general public in most cases ended up rejecting this version. Hence many remember Windows 8 as a dismal failure from Microsoft in a failed attempt to redefine the user experience. All this after the enormous success of Windows 7, a system that many still miss today. However, there are some who think that this operating system was simply ahead of its time. Hence, a well-known concept developer now shows us what Windows 8 would be like in the middle of the year 2023. So that you get a better idea of what we are talking about, we are going to show you a new concept designed by one of the best-known developers of this type of project, Kamer Kaan Avdan. We tell you this because in the past he has already shown us his own designs about updated versions of Windows 95, XP and Windows 7, among others. This Windows 8 you would love right now What's more, he even showed us his idea for Windows 11 long before it was announced by the software giant. He has also recently shown us his vision of what Windows 12 should be. However, at this moment he has released a new project of his own in which he presents us with a more modern version of Windows 8. Obviously it is an updated version to 2023 to adapt to current technologies. In fact, we are going to find a completely modernized operating system based on the old Windows 8. Here we are going to find elements both functional and belonging to its interface that we would like to see reach the real version of the system. This is something quite common in the concepts that we have already been able to observe from this same designer in the past. For example, we found some impressive looking Live Tiles, contrary to what happened in the original Windows 8. We would also have an innovative way to start our favorite games and the bar improves significantly. Likewise, we would have the possibility to adjust our windows to it or to create our own personalized collections. We can also access the clipboard from this same section. Perhaps one of the most striking elements of this concept of Windows 8 2023 is the enormous customization capacity of the operating system itself. We have multiple functions and features to adapt its interface to what we need in each case. There is no doubt that Microsoft should take a look and learn from some of these changes to apply to future versions of Windows. https://www.softzone.es/noticias/windows/reedicion-windows-8-2023-diseno-perfecto/

Despite the fact that the new NVIDIA RTX 4070 has just seen the light of day, the first references to the next release of the green giant are beginning to appear in online databases; This is the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4060 Ti, the "little sister" that will be the next to come to the fore and on which there are many expectations for users looking for a good graphics card for games at a contained price. Here we tell you everything that is known to date. The RTX 4070 can already be found in stores at prices ranging between 650 and 800 Euros, the lowest of this generation of graphics cards but which, without a doubt, still represent too large a part of the budget for many users. Fortunately, NVIDIA is gradually releasing cheaper models, and next on the list will be the RTX 4060 Ti, of which, as we mentioned before, custom models are starting to appear in benchmark databases and online stores. . Let's see what he can offer us. The RTX 4060 Ti will be a vitaminized RTX 3070 Ti One of the first models about which information has been leaked has been Colorful's iGame RTX 4060 Ti Ultra W OC, an obviously custom model and factory overclocked but that can tell us a lot about what we can expect from this range model. half; to begin with, and although it will have a different cooling system and PCB from the reference model, we can see that it will work at 2,580 MHz, which is 45 MHz more than the NVIDIA model. As for the rest of the specifications, the only thing that has also been leaked is that it will have 8 GB of VRAM, most likely GDDR6, while the rest are just rumors. There is talk that it will have an AD106-350-A1 chip, a trimmed version of the AD106 with 34 SMs and 4352 CUDA cores. Its 8 GB of GDDR6 memory would work at an effective 18 Gbps over a 128-bit bus delivering 288 GB/s of bandwidth, and it would have 32 MB of L2 cache (which is an 8-fold increase over what the 3060 Ti had). ). All this data suggests that the RTX 4060 Ti would offer about 22 TFLOPS of computing power in its base model, approaching 24 TFLOPS in factory overclocked models. Essentially, all this data makes us think about the logic that we have already seen for several generations, and that is that the RTX 4060 Ti would have slightly higher gaming performance than the current RTX 3070 Ti. Ok but how much will it cost? Many users have complained about the fact that the RTX 4070, which are no longer high-end graphics considering the number of models above it, have been released at too high prices and that they are out of the reach of the consumer. vast majority of users, and they are right (after all, not everyone can spend €800 just on a graphics card). Logically, since it is a lower graph, its price will also be lower, but again we are entering the realm of rumors and speculation. If we take into account that at the time the RTX 3070 Ti was launched at a price of $599 (which was later around €800 when they arrived in Spain), the RTX 4060 would be positioned at a price of around $399, which then it will be more like €500 including taxes and others. Sure, the price is still expensive but it's much more attractive, isn't it? https://hardzone.es/noticias/tarjetas-graficas/nvidia-rtx-4060-ti-detalles/

Two hours and 40 minutes were enough for the Titanic, the most famous ship in history, to become oceanic wreckage on April 14, 1912, a story that became a legend thanks to the cinema and the many curiosities it contains. The fateful sinking of the Titanic, the best-known ocean liner in history, turns 111 years old. A ship of 269 meters in length with a weight of 46,000 tons. An icy ocean to cross, the Atlantic. More than 2,000 passengers full of dreams to fulfill their way to North American lands. About 1,500 deaths. Just 700 survivors. A tragedy turned into a movie. A love story (or many). The protagonist of the greatest naval disaster of the 20th century began to be built in 1910 by the White Star Line shipping company with the aim of becoming the largest and most luxurious ship built up to then. She had planned to sail on April 10 from the south of England (Southampton) to New York and she did. What no one knew is that after its inauguration it would end up in pieces at the bottom of the ocean at almost 4,000 meters depth after colliding with an iceberg on the night of April 14-15, a day that became night forever for many. The construction of the Titanic was quite a challenge for the 20th century, not only because of its size but also because of its luxurious appearance, both outside and inside, and because of its advanced engineering: it came to have up to four chimneys (the fourth, false) with 24 boilers and four generators that produced 400 KW. Her 840 cabins were divided into three classes: lower class, middle class and upper class, thus creating a reflection of the different strata into which British society was divided at the time. Its construction, its journey, its sinking, its rescue and a love story, gave James Cameron one of the highest grossing films in history in 1998, winning eleven Oscars from the Hollywood Academy: ' Titanic'. And it is that, nobody imagined that this "unsinkable" ship would become a milestone in history, enclosing numerous secrets and curiosities, unknown to many. Curiosities about the Titanic Despite seeming to know everything about the famous most imposing ship in the world, there are many singularities surrounding the Titanic, a ship whose official name was RMS (Royal Mail Steamer) Titanic, for the acronym that refers to steamships that transported mail. Postcard. We tell you some of those peculiarities: Initially the Titanic was going to have 64 lifeboats, which were enough to save all the people on board, but finally they were reduced to 20. The first lifeboat only carried 24 people (of the upper class) despite have capacity for 65. After the Titanic catastrophe, a new rule was approved that is still in force today: cruise ships are required to carry enough lifeboats to save 25% more of the crew on board. The book entitled 'Futility', by Morgan Robertson, predicted the catastrophe of the sinking of the Titanic in the year 1898. The protagonist ship of the literary history was called Titan. The youngest passenger on the ship was just nine weeks old and she became one of the survivors of the shipwreck. Her name was Millvina Dean and she died at the age of 97. Twelve dogs were traveling on the ship, of which only three survived the tragedy. The Titanic had two more brothers, the Olympic and the Britannic, which were ordered to be built as the largest, most luxurious and safest ships in the world, but all three were involved in fatal accidents. The Titanic's rudder was 24 meters high and weighed about 100 tons, it was so big that special steam engines were needed to move it. The price of the third class ticket was about 7 pounds (about 800 current pounds), the second class cost 13 pounds (about 1,500 current pounds) and the first class cost about 30 pounds (which is equivalent to 3,300 current pounds). , according to the BBC. On the ship there were rooms reserved exclusively for men where women could not enter: the smoking rooms. A drill was scheduled the same day as the sinking, but for some unknown reason, Captain Smith canceled it. The ship could go up to 42 kilometers per hour and had 55,000 engine horsepower. The remains of the Titanic were not located until 1985, 685 kilometers south-southeast of the Newfoundland (Canada) coast. https://www.lasexta.com/noticias/cultura/titanic-barco-lleno-curiosidades-secretos-que-probablemente-desconocias_202304146437d9df1b5f5b000146c619.html

Producers and exporters have high expectations with the opening of more markets. Work is already underway to reach Argentina, Chile, South Korea and Japan. The pitahaya from Ecuador had a good week opening markets abroad. On the same day that the first shipment of 7,745 kilograms of yellow dragon fruit bound for China left China by air, a container with almost 16,000 kilograms of red dragon fruit also began its journey to Russia by sea. The shipment to China arrived in two days, after the opening of that market to Ecuadorian producers who managed to complete the sanitary authorization process. The other shipment will arrive at the Russian port in approximately 25 or 30 days, says Remigio Villavicencio, owner of Pitarem S.A., which has been producing pitahaya for six years and exporting red dragon fruit for four, and also offers a co-packing service, that is, it packs and ships the products. The container carries 15,820 kilos, which is approximately 3,520 boxes. This export to Russia is not done alone. "This time we did a co-packing service, basically a strategic alliance between friends and we were able to position the fruit from Pitarem, packed in Pitarem and exported by our friends at FruExSur," says Villavicencio. Although he knows that shipments of this fruit have been made by air to that market, he assures that they are the first to bet on this journey. He says that for the process before shipping they were very careful. "It is a very delicate fruit, its treatment is very exhaustive and it has to be very careful, for this we employ about 180 people, 90% - 95% of these personnel were female." Villavicencio's expectations with this shipment are high and not only for them, he believes that it will open up the market for other producers. "I think that we are going to have a very good response from the customer, we hope that they will continue to buy more from us." The negotiations took time because Russia has been at war with Ukraine for more than a year. This conflict between the two Eastern European countries generated problems, especially in terms of logistics, he explains that it took a little longer for the negotiations to take place; however, "the hard work managed to reach agreements." The company has already exported this variety of fruit to countries like the United States, specifically to Florida, which was the destination of its first export. They have also shipped to Spain, Canada and Peru. "We have been shipping for four years, we were the first exporters of white-fleshed red dragon fruit," he says. Each year they send more than 25 containers to their clients abroad and with the opening of the Chinese and Russian markets, according to Villavicencio, they plan to export 10 more containers annually. Exporter FLP hopes to double shipments of yellow dragon fruit to China Other companies also project their plans to grow in exports, especially the recently opened Chinese market. This is the case of FLP, one of the four exporting companies that sent the first shipment of yellow dragon fruit to China this week, which expects to at least double the amount shipped this year. "Our expectation of export volumes is important, we hope that hand in hand with our clients, with our producing partners, our team and the support, as it has always been, of government entities, we will be able to consolidate growth that at least doubles our current figures" , says Ana Andrade, manager of FLP. This company also exports to other destinations such as Italy, Spain, France, Holland, Sweden, England, Russia, Germany, Switzerland, Belgium, the United States, Canada, Uruguay, Singapore, Malaysia, Hong Kong, the Philippines, Cambodia, the United Arab Emirates, among others. Of the 7.7-ton shipment that arrived in China this week, FLP shipped 840 kilograms. Andrade says that the fruit comes from two couples of producers from Palora, in the province of Morona Santiago. Andrade also has good expectations after the tariff that the pitahaya currently pays to enter China, which is 20%, drops to zero after the signing of the trade agreement that is pending between Ecuador and the Asian giant. She assures that once the tariff drops to zero, the market will continue to be regulated, according to supply and demand. "When the tariff drops to 0, the impact of the freight on the final price being considerable and therefore considered as a premium fruit that does not have a low price, the tariff will directly benefit the producers, in the first line, and proportionally to the entire chain, above all by encouraging consumption and generating greater demand and therefore, the possibility of having a greater exportable volume”, comments Andrade. In addition, regarding new markets for the fruit, it reveals that the Phytosanitary and Animal Health Regulation and Control Agency (Agrocalidad) works with its peers from other countries to open the market for pitahaya in countries such as Argentina, Chile, South Korea and Japan. , mostly. "Work is being done according to the prioritization list for each product in each country," explains the executive. https://www.eluniverso.com/noticias/economia/buen-momento-para-fruta-ecuatoriana-15820-kilos-de-pitahaya-roja-viajan-con-destino-a-rusia-nota/

The research may lead to an understanding of the evolution of traits that made us human, such as limbs A study by the Higher Council for Scientific Research (CSIC) reveals the genetic mechanism that explains how rays evolved to develop wing-shaped fins, organisms that are also very relevant for understanding the evolution of the traits that made us human, such as limbs. Precisely, the genetic cause behind the shape of their fins has been the object of the study carried out by CSIC researchers at the Andalusian Center for Developmental Biology (CABD), in Seville, and at the Biomedical Research Institute of Barcelona. (IRBB), according to the entity in a statement. The results, published in the journal Nature, confirm that alterations to the three-dimensional structures that DNA forms when it folds in on itself, known as topologically associated domains (TADs), determine which genes are turned on and off. at a certain point in evolution. The researchers point out that genomic changes that alter TADs may be a driver of evolution. Until recently, the study of the evolution of the genome focused mainly on the coding regions, that is, on those parts that contain the genes that give rise to proteins. However, this new study focuses on the role of TADs and non-coding regions. "This is a new way of understanding how genomes evolve," says Darío Lupiáñez, a geneticist at the Max Delbrück Center for Molecular Medicine (Germany) and one of the main authors of the study. More than 450 million years ago, the genome of a primitive fish, the ancestor of all vertebrate animals, doubled twice. The expansion of genetic material fueled the rapid evolution of more than 60,000 vertebrates, including humans. One of our most distant vertebrate relatives are rays, organisms that are very relevant to understanding the evolution of the traits that made us human, such as limbs. To do this, the researchers have studied a type of stingray (Leucoraja erinacea) that, due to the similarity of this species with ancestral vertebrates, "allows us to compare its characteristics with those of other species to determine what is novel and what is ancestral during the evolution," explains CABD biologist and one of the first authors, Christina Paliou. A turning point for evolutionary genomics In 2017, the late CABD researcher José Luis Gómez-Skarmeta, an essential figure in evolutionary genomics in our country, brought together scientists from all over the world to study the evolution of the skate. His interest was to investigate how genomes evolve structurally and functionally to promote the appearance of new traits. That moment was pivotal for the field of evolutionary genomics. The scientists gained completely new insight into how the DNA of each cell, which can be as long as two meters, folds into a cell nucleus just 0.005 centimeters in diameter. These new studies showed that the packaging of DNA in the nucleus is far from random, but rather organized into 3D structures called TADs, which contain genes and their regulatory sequences. "These 3D structures ensure that the appropriate genes are turned on and off at a given time, in the right cells," explains Juan Tena, one of the lead authors of the study. Center geneticist Max Delbrück and one of the first authors, Rafael Acemel, conducted experiments using Hi-C technology to elucidate the 3D structure of the TADs. But interpreting the results was challenging, as the scientists needed the complete genome of the skate as a reference point. "At the time, the reference consisted of thousands of little pieces of DNA sequence that were completely out of order, which didn't help much," he stressed. To overcome this difficulty, the scientists used long-read sequencing technology, along with Hi-C data, to assemble the DNA pieces like a puzzle and map the jumbled sequences to the chromosomes of the streak. With this new reference, reconstructing the 3D structure of the TADs was finally possible. With this new genome they were able to make comparisons with the genomes of their closest relatives, sharks, in order to identify TADs altered during the evolution of rays. These altered TADs included genes for the Wnt/PCP pathway, which is important for fin development. They also identified a specific variation in a non-coding sequence near the Hox genes, which also regulate fin development. "This specific sequence can activate several Hox genes in the front part of the ray's fins, which does not happen in other fish or tetrapod animals," says Paliou. Subsequently, the scientists performed functional experiments that confirmed that these molecular changes contributed to the evolution of the characteristic fin shape of rays. TADs drive evolution Previous studies have shown that changes in TADs can affect gene expression and cause disease. In this new study, the scientists show that TADs are also involved in the evolution of traits in certain species. "TADs are important for gene regulation, since 40% of them are conserved in all vertebrates, while the remaining 60% have evolved in one way or another. This mechanism of evolution could be relatively common and explain many other interesting traits of species that we observe in nature. This is an important finding, since it suggests that the 3D structure of the genome influences its evolution", concludes Lupiáñez. https://www.elperiodico.com/es/ciencia/20230412/estudio-revela-evolucionaron-rayas-desarrollar-aletas-alas-85925638

It seems that the Aston Martin DBS Volante has little left. Its commercial life cycle is over and we also see versions like the Aston Martin DBS 770 Ultimate Volante that could be its swan song. The convertible adopts that same facet that its coupé brother already took a few months ago, a more powerful and more equipped special edition that left no one indifferent. In this case, it is limited to only 199 units, all of them already assigned, which will begin to be delivered in the third quarter of the year. If we start with its mechanics, we could not miss that already legendary 5.2-liter biturbo V12 that has given the Gaydon firm so much joy. If when the DBS Superleggera came out it was announced with 725 CV, in this edition it has taken a very considerable step forward. It reaches 770 hp and 900 Nm of torque, making it one of the fastest convertibles in the world. In fact, it does 0 to 100 km/h in 3.6 seconds and has a top speed of 340 km/h. Always with that eight-speed ZF automatic transmission as a reference. The behavior of this model is also improved with some adjustments to the chassis. The suspension has been recalibrated and features firmer adaptive dampers. The brakes are carbon ceramic with 410mm front discs and 360mm rear discs to put some control. In addition, the steering has been modified to have a firmer setting. The Aston Martin DBS 770 Ultimate Volante can also be distinguished by a distinctive aesthetic configuration both outside and inside. The front splitter is more prominent on this example and the hood air intakes are accented with carbon fiber. The 21-inch wheels have a very characteristic finish and help to maintain the sportiness along with its rear diffuser, which integrates the four exhaust outlets. And if the exterior delighted anyone, the interior presents an equally spectacular configuration. The Sports Plus seats are upholstered in full semi-aniline leather and Alcantara, in a camel color that suits the whole, but can be chosen by the customer through the Q by Aston Martin personalization program. With the 300 units of the DBS 770 Ultimate coupe and these 199 of the Volante, the last series of the model will be completed with that total of 499 units. https://noticias.coches.com/noticias-motor/aston-martin-dbs-770-ultimate-volante/489272?foto=3

Running is much more than just a hobby or a training style. For many it is a lifestyle. And it is that running is an integral activity that not only conditions the physical, but also the mind. Running requires discipline, concentration, commitment. And what often happens (especially among those who have never trained) is that the practice becomes so satisfying that it promotes changes in routine, diet, habits, and even life goals. If you still have doubts about the changes that running can bring to your life, here are a few: 1.Prevents or improves health conditions Running helps prevent coronary diseases, helps lower bad cholesterol (LDL), contributes to the regulation of insulin, blood pressure, among others. 2.Improves the respiratory and cardiovascular system The practice of running strengthens the muscles involved in breathing and this generates greater and better oxygenation of the blood. In addition, running helps the heart pump blood with greater capacity and less effort. While this benefits all runners, it has a particularly positive impact on smokers or ex-smokers, as it helps them recover and improve their ability to breathe properly. 3. Helps obtain vitamin D The moderate exposure to natural light obtained by running stimulates the production of vitamin D. This vitamin is responsible for the absorption of calcium, an essential element to maintain bone health and avoid the risk of osteoporosis. It is important to remember that just as sun exposure has benefits, it is important to apply sunscreen to prevent photoaging of the skin. 4. Helps regulate weight Running helps speed up basal metabolism, which refers to the minimum amount of energy required by the body to maintain its vital functions. When the basal metabolism is accelerated, energy expenditure is greater and the amount of calories burned increases even while at rest. For this reason running is an activity used for those who want to reduce or control their weight. And this will work more efficiently if it is combined with a good diet. 5. Stimulates the production of endorphins and serotonin Endorphins and serotonin are neurotransmitters that, among other functions, are responsible for mood states. Running stimulates the production of both, which explains why many runners experience a sense of well-being (and even happiness) when they finish running, even despite physical exhaustion. This is one of the reasons why new runners get hooked on the discipline, as it is a natural way to improve spirits. These and other benefits make running an integral activity that stimulates the physical and mental well-being of both experienced runners and those just starting out. Also, if the training is constant, its results can be seen in the short term. https://www.caf.com/es/actualidad/noticias/2023/03/5-beneficios-del-running-para-la-salud/

As a boat carrying 400 migrants ran out of fuel adrift along a dangerous migration route in the central Mediterranean last week, Italian authorities led a major rescue operation after Maltese authorities refused to rescue those who were on board. The desperate pleas for help from the passengers went unheeded for almost a week before they finally reached Italian shores on Wednesday, along with 800 migrants stranded for more than 10 days on another ship. Many of the migrants fell to the ground once they reached land, severely dehydrated and covered in vomit from the rough seas, witnesses said. Few wore life jackets. NGOs operating in the area, including the German organization Sea-Watch International, said they repeatedly alerted the Maltese authorities about the ship, only to be ignored. “Malta would rather take the huge risk of 400 people dying than take care of these people,” Sea-Watch noted. The Armed Forces of Malta (AFM) told local media that the people on board the ship did not request ransom, according to the Malta Independent. They did not respond to CNN's request for comment. This event, another dispute between European Union (EU) countries, sheds a new light on the bloc's inability to negotiate who should adapt to a surge in migrant arrivals, something critics say only leads to more suffering and tragedy. When the occupants of the first two boats finally made it to safety, two more, both containing around 450 people, were seen at sea. Once again, Sea-Watch International alerted the Italian and Maltese authorities, he confirmed to CNN, but neither country immediately launched a rescue. The number of undocumented people arriving on European shores by sea has skyrocketed so far this year due to conflict, global inequality and the climate crisis. More than 36,000 migrants arrived in Europe's Mediterranean region from January to March this year, almost double compared to the same period in 2022, according to the latest figures from the UN refugee agency (UNHCR). It is the highest number since the refugee crisis that peaked in 2015 and continued into the first months of 2016, when the arrival of more than a million migrants on Europe's shores caused EU solidarity to collapse. in disputes and border chaos. So far this year, more than 98% have arrived by sea, compared to 2% by land, the highest proportion since 2016, according to the UN. And an estimated 522 migrants have died or gone missing along the way, UN data shows, reflecting the lack of safe and legal routes available to refugees and asylum seekers. “People are fleeing because they have to get away from these very difficult situations at home,” said Jenny Phillimore, a professor of migration and super diversity at the University of Birmingham in central England. “Why are they taking these risks and getting on the boats? Because there are no safe and legal routes, they have no other option.” A lack of cooperation Every year, tens of thousands of migrants fleeing war, persecution and poverty risk treacherous routes to Europe in search of safety and better economic prospects. But the lack of safe and legal migration corridors available to refugees and asylum seekers can have deadly consequences. In March, at least 28 migrants died after their boats capsized off the Tunisian coast as they tried to cross the Mediterranean to Italy. The previous month, at least 93 people died after a wooden boat carrying migrants from Turkey crashed onto rocks off the coast of Calabria in southern Italy. Further north, four people died in December after a small boat believed to be carrying migrants capsized in the English Channel, on one of the world's busiest shipping lanes. In many cases, migrant boats are overcrowded and unfit for the voyage, and the need to expend resources to rescue those on board can lead to European countries shifting responsibility because authorities "don't want the people landing on its shores," added Phillimore. “Italy has long been one of the countries that (has) seen a higher proportion of arrivals via the Mediterranean, compared to northern European countries. While the EU Commission has tried to instigate repartition and quotas, it hasn't really worked,” he said. Italy's cabinet issued a state of emergency on Tuesday after the arrival of the migrant boats. Those on the boats are considered migrants, even if they come from countries that qualify for asylum status. They are not recognized as refugees until the long process is complete. Italy's populist and right-wing Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni will present new legislation this month that will tighten the rules to include the forced repatriation of migrants who do not meet the refugee status requirements. Currently, migrants who do not meet those standards are given a notice to leave the country, but unless law enforcement stops them, removal is rarely enforced. The amendments are likely to pass with strong support from opposition lawmakers and the European Union, as well as Meloni's vast majority in parliament. Italy asked its EU partners for help in the repatriation and processing of immigrants, as well as in the reception of those who do qualify for refugee status according to the protocols sti[CENSORED]ted by UNHCR. "Not Pulling Your Weight" Elsewhere in Europe, aid agencies criticized leaders for proposing policies aimed at restricting border access to ease pressure on wealthy countries, where systems for dealing with undocumented migrants are overwhelmed. Opposition lawmakers and human rights campaigners recently criticized the UK government for its "cruel" and unfeasible plans to house migrants on military bases and disused barges instead of hotels. It came as the cabinet of UK Prime Minister Rishi Sunak faced accusations of breaking international law with a proposed illegal migration bill, which plans to send refugees and asylum seekers arriving in the UK by boat to Rwanda or your country of origin. In 2022, 74,751 asylum applications were made in the UK, according to the government. The total number of people waiting for an asylum decision more than doubled between 2020 and 2022, from around 70,000 to 166,300, according to the Interior Ministry. Critics say the UK's immigration system is sloppy and failing. “The bill would prevent a large group of extremely vulnerable refugees from relying on the protection of human rights, by leaving it up to the Home Secretary to decide who should be protected and who should be deported, and almost completely excluding the courts” Adam Wagner, a leading human rights lawyer, told CNN in March. In Italy, 77,195 applied for asylum last year, according to the Italian Ministry of the Interior. Of these, 52,625 applications were examined and 53% were denied asylum. Those who are denied can appeal the decision, but most slip away and are left without documents. Further west in France, of the 137,046 asylum applications that were registered in 2022, 56,179 were granted, according to the French Interior Ministry. Germany's Federal Office for Migration and Refugees said 244,132 asylum applications were submitted in 2022. Of those, 72.3% were granted, and some of the approved applications include backlogged applications from the previous year. In Greece, 37,300 asylum applications were submitted, around a third more than in 2021, according to the European Union Agency for Asylum. Of these, 30,886 were examined, of which 19,243 were granted and 11,643 were denied. A month earlier, UNHCR condemned reports that nearly 100 migrants were stripped of their clothes at the Greece-Turkey border. In 2021, Greece finished building a 40-kilometre (25-mile) wall along its border with Turkey amid concerns that the Taliban's takeover of Afghanistan could cause an influx of asylum seekers. Greece was at the center of Europe's migration crisis in the mid-2010s, when millions of refugees and migrants from Syria, Afghanistan and Iraq traveled across the continent. She has taken a hawkish stance ever since, rejecting pleas from Turkey and international organizations to allow more migrants across its borders. “The response to this problem is not just the response of one country, certainly the countries that have fueled geopolitical inequities and created the kind of problems that people are fleeing… also have a responsibility and the Global North is not doing their part,” added Phillimore. "(Countries in the) Global North have more money, but they accept much less people." "Save Human Lives" The failure of European leaders to coordinate a cohesive response to increased migrant arrivals and to relocate asylum seekers across the continent creates a "political stalemate," according to the researchers. During the 2015 migration crisis, a confluence of political conflicts, including the rise of ISIS, the Syrian civil war, and instability in Afghanistan in the Middle East and elsewhere, led record numbers of people to leave their homes and try to cross to Europe. That year, 1,000,573 people reached Europe via the Mediterranean by sea, and nearly 4,000 are feared to have drowned, according to UNHCR. The largest number of refugees entering the EU traveled through Libya. At that time, the EU entered into a new agreement in the Mediterranean based on "cooperation with the Libyan authorities", said Luca Barana, a researcher at the Istituto Affari Internazionali (IAI) and coordinator of the Working Group. on Migration T20 Italy. After the Libyan civil war, Tunisia became the new gateway to Europe, but while there is an agreement between Italy and Tunisia, there is no similar agreement at the EU level. Departures from Tunisia also increased due to the "growing adversity and discrimination against sub-Saharan migrants residing in Tunisia," Barana added. Instead of taking a "cooperative" approach with Tunisia, "the European Union is investing in improving border control infrastructure and increasing the number of returns and readmissions," Barana said. Human Rights Watch (HRW) said it is "deeply alarming" that EU countries are trying to renege on commitments to rescue refugees and asylum seekers stranded at sea. “As more people are forced by conflict and human rights violations to undertake perilous journeys across the Mediterranean to seek safety in Europe, it is deeply alarming and disappointing that EU countries are attempting to abdicate their duties of rescue people in distress at sea under international law," a spokesperson for the international NGO told CNN. Liz Throssell, UN human rights spokesperson, also called for an end to policies that allow human rights violations against migrants. “UN Human Rights has also repeatedly deplored the prevention or obstruction of humanitarian search and rescue efforts, including through the seizure of vessels and the criminalization of aid providers and other migrant rights advocates.” Several NGO workers face legal obstruction after attempting to rescue migrant ships stranded at sea. In January, human rights groups and the European Parliament roundly condemned a trial of 24 emergency workers in Greece, after they were arrested in 2018 for helping refugees trapped on a boat after leaving Turkey. Daniele Fiorentino, a professor of political science at Roma Tre University in Rome, Italy, said refugees whose lives are at stake should take precedence when it comes to EU policies regarding the arrival of migrants by boat in the region. . "Maybe today the situation is less critical than in 2015, but the tragedy... is the result of a weakness or inefficiency in the decision-making process both in Italy and in Europe," he told CNN. “Whose responsibility is it to rescue people lost at sea, who oversees the process and makes the decisions? When doing this, the authorities, and all of us, must always keep in mind that the main issue at stake here is very immediate and clear: saving human lives." https://cnnespanol.cnn.com/2023/04/16/politicas-migratorias-europa-caos-aumentan-llegadas-migrantes-trax/

Senator Kevin Cramer of North Dakota has raised concerns about PlayStation's third-party deals, and demands to see all the documents. It is not the first time that there is some concern with the practices that Sony has been carrying out for many years. A US senator recently pointed out that "Sony controls a 98% monopoly of the game market" in Japan. However, she forgot the impact of Nintendo in the Japanese country. Regardless, PlayStation already had to submit documents to the FTC about its agreements with third parties. The Axios medium has echoed that Senator Kevin Cramer of North Dakota has expressed in a letter his "concern about Sony's efforts to protect its video game console business from competition." Cramer demands that Sony share with him "unredacted copies of all agreements that give Sony the exclusive right to distribute a game developed by an independent publisher, that is, agreements behind PlayStation-exclusive games like Final Fantasy XVI that are not announced." also for Microsoft's Xbox". He also wants to see the agreements he signs with third parties to prevent games from launching on Xbox Game Pass. In addition, Sony has been required to provide documents pertaining to Sony's internal strategy around the purchase of Bungie in 2022. Likewise, Senator Cramer calls Sony hypocritical in its purchase of Activision Blizzard. He also calls Sony's lobbying of the FTC "anti-competitive conduct." The senator from North Dakota justifies these words because the video game industry contributes to the territory with more than 20.6 million dollars in the economy of said state. There are also more than 221 gaming-related jobs, and it has the potential to grow to 6,320 over the next 10 years. Senator Cramer's opinion is complemented by some arguments signed by 11 other members of Congress last month. Sony accused Microsoft of "blatant harassment" It was a couple of months ago when Sony got tired of Microsoft's insistence on reading demand private documents. The Japanese company called those from Redmond "blatant harassment" when requesting files and documents from 7 PlayStation executives in the case against the FTC. https://www.3djuegos.com/industria-gaming/noticias/estados-unidos-se-esta-cansando-sony-sus-acuerdos-exclusividad-senador-quiere-ver-documentos-privados-playstation
