The arrival of The Last of Us: Part I in its PC version occurred at the end of last month and there are already users who have begun to let their imagination run wild and design all kinds of mods that alter the gameplay of Naughty's great work. Dog. One of the most surprising that we have seen in the last few hours directly affects his point of view. The point is that the Voyagers Revenge channel has published a video in which we can see this particular mod in great detail, with which the point of view becomes first-person. That is what is shown in an extensive ten-minute gameplay in which we can observe everything that happens on the screen as Joel himself would. Thanks to this, the experience becomes even more immersive. However, as we can read in The Gamer, it is a project that has not been finalized at the moment and it is unknown when it will be available for anyone to try it in their own game, although apparently it will only be enabled on the Patreon page. of its manager. Of course everything looks really spectacular when shooting the clickers and the rest of the enemies from such a close point of view, so that the gameplay becomes more brutal and bloodthirsty. There is no doubt that it would be nice if Naughty Dog took note of this so that it was officially included as an optional game mode. https://www.vidaextra.com/accion/the-last-of-us-se-vuelve-inmersivo-que-nunca-al-pasar-a-ser-primera-persona-este-mod-para-pc

The Ring company has announced the arrival in Spain of one of the products that was presented at the last IFA fair and that, to date, were not available in our country. We are talking about the so-called Intercom, which has the task of making the management of answering the doorman and opening the door of the house much easier wherever you are. This device, which uses wireless connectivity to communicate with the users' phones (everything is managed through the use of a proprietary application that is available for iOS and Android), quite rightly adds options that make it much more useful and adapted to the times that run the intercom you have. In addition, it has something that increases its usefulness exponentially: it is compatible with the Alexa voice assistant. What you get with Ring Intercom There are two options that stand out above the rest: being able to communicate with those who are knocking on the door -or portal- of home; and, also, you can open them if you wish. In the first case, it must be said that bidirectional technology is used so that they can both hear what is being said and that those who are waiting can receive your answer. By the way, since Internet connection is provided, you can do this whether you are in a room or dining in a restaurant. In what has to do with opening doors, the functionality works in the same way that we have commented before, so everything is very simple. There is something that is important to know about this product once it is associated with the free control application: every time the intercom that is installed is called, a notification is received in real time so that you always know what is happening. It is also important to mention that this Ring accessory can establish checks for guests (as online keys), so that in this way a relative who has to visit you or a child who arrives from school can open it directly -and from the app- the door of the portal or initial access to the house without you having to pay attention to it. There is even an automatic verification system for Amazon deliveries that is very helpful in increasing security. Very easy installation and a great introductory price In the first case, this is done by the user himself, since everything is very intuitive and includes a guide that indicates step by step what has to be done (it is normal to place the Ring Intercom next to the telephone that is in the house). Of course, it is important to be clear that this is compatible with the new product, something that you can review at this link. As for the price, the one that has been established as an initial promotion in stores like Amazon is 49.99 euros, so it is a great discount considering the price that this Ring product will usually have: €129.99. Therefore, we are talking about an accessory that is most useful and that right now is an excellent purchase option. https://cincodias.elpais.com/cincodias/2023/04/14/gadgets/1681454170_657003.html

Surely you have ever thought about trying one of these Artificial Intelligences that everyone talks about, but you have not known where to start. And it is that there are more and more options and alternatives that allow us to experience first-hand what these machines are capable of doing. If this is your case, don't worry, because today we are going to show you one of the best Google Chrome extensions for AI that, when you try it, you will no longer be able to live without it. Artificial Intelligences are growing by leaps and bounds, and it is that, although we see it as very advanced, we must bear in mind that ChatGPT has not been with us for much more than 100 days. In that time, this chat has received great updates (such as the latest GPT-4), and great rivals have been born, such as Bing Chat or Bard, which are based on the same algorithms, but work in a totally different way. With a market that is so new and changing so fast, it is easy for us to ask ourselves, which AI should I use, gives me more accurate results, and best suits my needs? You don't have to worry about that anymore, since with this extension for Google Chrome you'll be able to have the three main ones at hand, and even use them at the same time to be able to compare the generated texts and choose the answer that best suits your needs. So is ChatHub. How ChatHub works ChatHub is an extension for Google Chrome from which we will be able to access the three Artificial Intelligences that currently have the most weight on the web: ChatGPT, Bing Chat and Google Bard, with plans to add more options in the future. One of the characteristics of this extension is the possibility of sending the same request to several chatbots at the same time so that we can compare the two results in the same window. Another of the most interesting features of this extension is the support for GPT-4, the latest version of the ChatGPT algorithm, which we can use thanks to the API mode, the plan for developers, much cheaper than ChatGPT Plus, in which you only we pay for the requests and responses obtained from the AI. When we install this extension, we find a window like the following. As we can see, on the left side we can find the three chats that we have already mentioned, as well as an option that allows us to send the response to two of these AIs at once to compare the results. By using this option we can choose the AI that we want to see in each of the two windows. Finally, within the options section of this add-on we will be able to configure the behavior of the AIs. For example, in the case of ChatGPT we will be able to choose if we want the Webapp mode (or the free mode, in other words), or if we want to be able to use the API Mode, for developers, in which we will pay for use. If we want to test GPT-4, this is the best option. Also, at Bing, we can choose the style of the conversation to best fit the results we ask for. At the moment, there are no configuration options for Bard, the Google assistant. There is no longer a valid excuse for you not to give these new Artificial Intelligences a chance, which, without a doubt, have not yet shown all that they are capable of, and which are going to give a lot to talk about this year. https://www.softzone.es/noticias/metabits/chathub-extension-chrome/

One of the controversies that have arisen in recent days, and what we have already warned about in its day, is that certain graphics cards from the NVIDIA RTX 30 range have a clear limitation: lack of video memory, which is a performance problem. to certain resolutions. But, what if everything was not the fault of the green brand? And if rather everything has been cooked by the memory manufacturers. That is why we are going to talk about the VRAM conspiracy. For some time now, an open secret has been known. Memory manufacturers originating in South Korea negotiate prices and availability among themselves in a kind of oligarchy turned plutocracy. Well, this has very negatively affected some models of the NVIDIA RTX 30 in something that we could call the VRAM conspiracy. The origin of everything, the geopolitical background What's more, given that the memories are built in less advanced nodes than the processors, the Chinese giant is rearing its head and endangering the largest source of semiconductors in the US quasi-colony. Which has allowed South Korean companies to mani[CENSORED]te the market in their favor for their own benefit. Taiwan has specialized in logic, as has the United States. So we find that whoever completely manages an entire market for such an important component is protected by the world's policeman, who forces Intel, NVIDIA, AMD, Apple and the rest of the multinationals to jump through hoops and use the RAM, NAND Flash or any other memory that comes from a capitalist Korean company. When designing a processor, be it a CPU or a more specialized one such as a GPU, a relevant part is the memory controller, which is designed according to the specifications given by the JEDEC. However, these specifications are within a range. So if we talk about graphics cards we have to take into account that things like the amount of memory available per chip and the bandwidth. All of this is information that will not be known until the memory vendor contacts NVIDIA or AMD during final card assembly. Subsection: it is impossible to predict the technical specifications years in the future Hence, it is not possible to know quantitatively what the generation leap of a graphics card will be while it is in the design phase. If someone tells you, for example, that the RTX 5090 is going to have 48 GB GDDR7, ignore it, since they have not yet decided the capacity of each chip. The same if they tell you that it will be 2.6 times more powerful. These are speculations that ignore that memory chips are usually delivered a few months before the launch of the graphics card. 1 GB GDDR6 should never have existed And here we come to the most important part of the story, that of the VRAM conspiracy. To understand it, we have to go back to 2013, when SONY decided to launch the PS4 with 8 GB of GDDR5 memory instead of 4 GB, but with the problem that there are no chips larger than 0.5 GB and they are limited by the bus. The best solution? Pull clamshell mode, in which two memory chips, on the front and back of the board, plug into the same interface. The bandwidth is not increased, but the amount of addressable memory is. The problem? The associated costs of having to put twice as many memory chips. In 2016, the Slim versions of Xbox One and PS4 appear, with this the number of memory chips is halved to 1 GB, Clamshell mode is no longer necessary and costs drop. The big problem? It comes when in 2018 instead of making the leap to 2 GB memory chips, which would be the natural step, we still have to settle for 1 GB capacities and the worst comes when Micron, NVIDIA's partner for GDDR6X in The RTX 30 unilaterally decides to continue with a density of 1 GB. Think about it, four years with the same density per chip in terms of memory is not normal and that is where we can think that: "well, GDDR6X was only for NVIDIA and, therefore, they may have agreed to that capacity" and This is where things get murkier. What is the VRAM conspiracy? The console contract is extremely succulent and even more if we talk about a system whose predecessor has exceeded 100 million and ensures a constant flow of money. SONY's conditions to manufacture GDDR6 memory for the PS5? 2 GB of capacity per chip, which left the inventory completely empty for NVIDIA. However, one of NVIDIA's strategies in recent generations is to look for exclusive manufacturing nodes and technologies to ensure its full availability. For example, they scrapped TSMC's 7nm node at the last minute so they wouldn't have to compete for manufacturing resources with Samsung, and went with GDDR6X for the same reason. And here we are already at an interesting point, this memory was designed to work with the AD102 chip, but not the AD104 of the RTX 3070 and RTX 3060 Ti at first. However, NVIDIA knew that adding faster video memory would be a benchmark boost and ended up sacrificing the 16GB versions as well as the 20GB versions of the RTX 3080 in the process. of the story, the other part is that their partner decided not to make 2 GB chips during the last generation said GDDR6 variant. The objective? Create a planned obsolescence so that users could jump to the next generation when the time came, as it has been. The question here is: If Micron had made the 2 GB GDDR6X chips available would they have been used by NVIDIA? We believe that yes, it does not make sense to have the lower-middle range with more VRAM than the upper-middle range. What have been the consequences of these decisions? For dire PC gamers out there, if you have an 8GB RTX 3070 and even worse, an RTX 3060 Ti, then you're a much better seller than 12GB RTX 3060 users due to lack of VRAM. The consequences? Much lower frame rates in certain parts of the games, annoying appearance, sudden textures and in some cases even having to lower the average quality of the games, having to completely waste the capacity of their GPUs, which is a real grief. It is not the only problem, in the event that we want to use the capabilities to encode video, now increased with the latest revisions of the drivers, we are going to be limited in terms of memory. Honestly, it is logical that NVIDIA does not want to give part of its market to its main rival for a limitation such as video memory. Although planned obsolescence is necessary in every industry to maintain a speed of consumption, there are things that do not make sense and are so absurd that they could be considered self-sabotage, which is total nonsense. Conclusion: yes, there has been a VRAM conspiracy So that you understand, NVIDIA is not interested in having games that work better in the competition than in their own graphics cards, and even less for something that they cannot control and that to solve it implies an increase in costs and, therefore, getting much lower margins. Hence, we think that there has been a VRAM conspiracy where hBasica sought to limit the availability of 2 GB GDDR6X chips for an entire generation to create a more than clear planned obsolescence. Which is a shame, as this move does more damage to the PC gaming hardware market, but it's all the same to them since they also sell their memory chips in consoles. What's more, we think we can all agree on this, there should have been no 1GB GDDR6 memory under any scenario, not even almost five years ago. https://hardzone.es/noticias/tarjetas-graficas/conspiracion-vram-nvidia/

These animals have become one of the most po[CENSORED]r types of cats, as they are recognized for their beauty, personality and their spots, which are not repeated in any other specimen. In La Red Zoocial we tell you some peculiarities of them that, perhaps, you did not know. These animals, also known as "calico cats" or "tortoiseshell cats", are recognized for having fur with various color combinations. However, contrary to what most people think, they do not belong to a specific race. This name simply refers to cats that have a particular coat pattern, which is why different species of cats, such as Maine Coons or Siberian cats, can enter their catalogue. Tricolor cats are separated into three distinct families, divided by their color variations: calico cats, tortoiseshell cats, and tabby cats. These three types of kittens are often confused with chimera cats, which are those that have two different fur colors: for example, they can have half their body black and the other half orange. This can also be seen represented in patches of color on their skin. However, some chimera cats can look completely normal on their surface. Calicos have a genetic mutation that causes their fur to have multiple colors. They are usually composed mainly of white tones and orange, black or gray spots. The color white normally appears predominantly on its chest, belly, and chin. According to La Vanguardia, the vast majority of these cats are female. This is because a male cat has an XY chromosome and a female cat has an XX chromosome. Because the orange hue comes from the X chromosome, passed down from the mother, it is more common to find calico females. The Lets get pet portal states that tortoiseshell cats have asymmetrical color mixing. Unlike calico cats, white fur is not as common on their skin. Their other colors are usually lighter, compared to those found in the other tricolor cats. Black is usually the predominant color in them. Also, their spots are often scattered on their fur like a color palette made by a painter. In fact, the reason they are called "hawksbill" is because their fur resembles the coloration of a hawksbill turtle. Finally, tabby cats, also known as "tabby", have a white-based coat, with softened spots: gray, light orange, cream or bacon. Several of them arose naturally, while others were born thanks to crosses made by human beings, who sought to give them a wild appearance. Some of the breeds that have this characteristic coat are: the American Bobtail, the Toyger and the European cat. Because tricolor cats don't belong to a specific breed, their personality traits often don't resemble each other. Therefore, their temperament usually depends a lot on the socialization they received from their owners, their training, and the environment in which they grow up. https://www.elespectador.com/la-red-zoocial/gatos-tricolor-curiosidades-caracteristicas-y-datos-sobre-estos-felinos-noticias-hoy/

The dollar has become a rare commodity in Bolivia. To the point that there are already experts who speak of "rationing" and a parallel market that has not been seen in the country for many years is growing. Since last March 9, the Central Bank has become almost the only place where currency can be obtained and long queues of citizens have formed daily around it and since the end of March the local media have reported that you have to wait weeks for your money to be delivered in foreign currency. The government assures that the Bolivian economy is stable and the Minister of Economy, Marcelo Montenegro, blamed what happened on "a speculative outbreak" that led to excess demand. The analysts consulted believe, however, that what is happening is the result of mismanagement of economic policy and years of fiscal deficits that have ended up consuming international reserves. BBC Mundo requested comments from the Ministry of Economy, but received no response. The shortage of dollars is seen as another sign of concern about the health of the Bolivian economy, a country that during the years of Evo Morales in the presidency (2006-2019) was presented as an example of sobriety and rigor in public accounts , despite its ambitious social programs. How did this situation come to be? What's going on The alarm signals jumped at the beginning of March, when large lines of people began to form at bank branches and exchange houses in Bolivia who wanted to withdraw or buy dollars. Local media began to report that in most of them customers left empty-handed or found that the banks imposed restrictions on the amounts to withdraw due to a growing shortage of currency. Until, in an apparent attempt to calm the situation, the authorities announced on March 8 that the Central Bank of Bolivia would sell dollars to anyone who requested it. Since then, large queues began to form at the bank's headquarters in La Paz. Roger Edwin Rojas, president of the Central Bank of Bolivia (BCB), promised the willingness of the Bank to "meet all the demand that may exist in the po[CENSORED]tion." But apparently the measure has not been enough. The latest twist in the crisis came on March 28, when it was learned that the Central Bank was making an appointment to deliver the dollars weeks late, which aggravated the fears of observers who believe that the lack of dollars reflects that the country is about to exhaust its available international reserves. "At first they were just rumors, but everything indicates that the situation in the country is not good at all," one of the Bolivians who lined up told the AFP news agency. Bolivia has a fixed exchange rate, established at 6.96 bolivianos per dollar, but the official reality seems to be being overwhelmed by the facts. The economist Jaime Dunn told BBC Mundo that "those who need the dollars now accept a higher exchange rate as the price for getting the dollars immediately and the parallel market is growing, something that for years was unthinkable in Bolivia." What are the causes The president of the BCB blamed the excess demand on the actions of disseminators of false news. "The amount of dollars that we have put up for sale, the service that we are providing, extending all the hours and so on, will allow us to mitigate this problem once and for all," he said in an interview with state television. Other experts are not so optimistic and see deeper causes. The former president of the Central Bank Juan Antonio Morales pointed out in a conversation with BBC Mundo that "Bolivia has accumulated high fiscal deficits since 2015 that have been largely financed with Central Bank credits and that is quite problematic." For Dunn, this has led to the fact that "international reserves have been aggressively consumed" Those reserves, which in 2014 were around US$15.5 billion, are now at a record low of around US$3.5 billion. With these resources, some of the most generous social programs of the governments of Evo Morales first and Luis Arce later have been maintained, such as the subsidy for the purchase of fuel, which Bolivia has to import and pay in dollars in international markets. Added to this is the problem of the drop in gas production and exports from the state-owned YPF-B, with which the volume of dollars arriving in the country has also fallen. Finally, there are the dollars that the Central Bank injects into the economy, often through state-owned companies, to contribute to exchange rate stability. What consequences does the shortage of dollars have? The dollar has traditionally had a leading role in the Bolivian economy. It is used in many transactions and is the currency in which the value of all assets of patrimonial importance, such as homes or cars, is calculated. Now the country is experiencing what Morales describes as "an exchange rate crisis." Many people think that the official value of the Bolivian, the national currency, with respect to the dollar does not correspond to reality. And the consequences are already being felt. Dunn affirms that "exporters are desperate and since they have to face payments in dollars that cannot wait, they agree to buy dollars at 7.40 per boliviano, well above the official exchange rate of 6.96." This means an increase in their costs that, sooner or later, will have to end up being passed on to the consumer, which "will cause tension on the price side," predicts the expert. This could break the exceptional trend in Bolivia, which stands out in the Latin American context as one of the countries that has best contained the inflationary wave that has swept the world in the last year. The export sector is one of the hardest hit. If the shortage of foreign currency continues, the operations with which Bolivia supplies itself with essential items, such as fuel, which are traded in dollars, may be in jeopardy. And then there is the question of trust. Bolivia has been considered for years an example of fiscal balance and proof that poverty reduction policies do not have to be incompatible with budgetary rigor. But in recent months, investors and financial analysts have been mounting doubts about the country's economic situation, which has become clear in the plummeting value of Bolivian bonds in the international market and the interest required to buy them, which has increased by 32% in 2023. However, the Ministry of Economy and Finance attributed the higher required yield on Bolivian bonds to "uncertainty in financial markets" caused by the war in Ukraine, the "international inflationary crisis" and the rise in interest rates throughout the world. What can happen The Central Bank reported in a recent statement of the "recomposition" of its special drawing rights, assets issued by the International Monetary Fund (IMF) to complement the international reserves of its member countries, with which it seeks to "strengthen the position of liquidity of net international reserves". Without giving more details of the exact meaning of this "recomposition", the Central Bank stressed that "the conversion of the Special Drawing Rights to US dollars is an operation proper to the administration of the international reserves of the central banks and should not be considered like a loan." A clarification apparently addressed to those who think that Bolivia may end up resorting to help from the IMF in the absence of alternatives. The government also announced an import substitution industrialization plan with which it hopes to increase the inflow of foreign currency through exports of gold, lithium and other raw materials. Dunn indicates that the Central Bank has already taken some measures, such as "defending the Boliviano with a higher interest rate." It is about discouraging everyone from wanting to exchange their bolivianos for dollars. But Juna Antonio Morales does not believe that this will be enough. "A major fiscal adjustment is necessary, and that adjustment could be painful," he says. He believes that the government of Luis Arce may end up running out of alternatives to layoffs in the public sector and a currency devaluation that would have been less traumatic if it had been carried out on time. If the devaluation were to take place, it would mean a reduction in national wealth and that the vast majority who have their bank deposits in Bolivians would see their value reduced. The key question in Bolivia is if the Bolivian will hold out and for how long. https://www.bbc.com/mundo/noticias-america-latina-65171402

This strange animal is easy to identify: it is brightly colored and floats on the surface of the water. In addition, in its extremities it stores poison in a very curious way. The coasts of Spain receive an unexpected visitor. In the Las Estacas cove, in Orihuela (Alicante), in August 2021, some bathers spot three strange organisms stranded on the seashore. Given the uncertainty, they alert the lifeguard services, who transport the animals to the Department of Zoology of the University of Murcia. Two days later, the same scene takes place in Torrevieja. These are specimens of the blue dragon (Glaucus atlanticus), a species that belongs to the family of nudribranch gastropods and whose natural habitat is the open sea. That is why its appearance on the Mediterranean coast is considered an exceptional event. The news becomes relevant almost two years later because, until now, there has been no official record of the apparition. Along with Mediterranean Marine Science, Quercus magazine has closely monitored the phenomenon and recently published: "The six blue dragons found in Orihuela and Torrevieja were found alive, although they ended up dying after a few hours." On the other hand, both entities have been in charge of transmitting to the lifeguard services a series of recommendations in case more specimens appear in the coming months. Although it is an animal that, by nature, does not frequent the Mediterranean coast, experts speculate that its appearance could be related to the increase in sea temperature. Identifying it is very easy since its peculiarity, as the name indicates, is its striking electric blue and gray color. It is a small animal: its size ranges between 2 and 3 cm. In fact, it fits perfectly in the palm of your hand. Furthermore, unlike other marine creatures, the blue dragon floats on the surface of the water. Is the blue dragon poisonous? Yes. This strange animal stores poison in the cerata (also called “feathered wings”) that decorate its body. The way in which it acquires it is curious: it extracts the poison from its prey (jellyfish or Portuguese frigatebirds) and uses it to attack future prey. In other words, their way of hunting consists of giving their prey their own poison. Precisely for this reason, it is not a danger to humans. It only attacks if it feels threatened and the friction is similar to that caused by a jellyfish. This is why, despite being an unknown species to bathers in the Mediterranean, an encounter with the blue dragon should not go beyond alerting the corresponding services. https://www.nationalgeographic.com.es/mundo-animal/dragon-azul-aparece-forma-excepcional-costa-mediterranea_19779

Alfa Romeo is one of the manufacturers with the longest tradition in competition. In fact, just a century ago they made their debut with one of their hallmarks at the 14th Targa Florio. The four-leaf clover or "Quadrifoglio" was present in the RL Corsa that won the race. Since then it has become an institution and to celebrate it they are now launching the Alfa Romeo Giulia Quadrifoglio 100° Anniversario. It is a special edition loaded with specific details and is available on a very limited basis. On an aesthetic level it is easy to recognize, since it mounts the new adaptive Full-LED matrix headlights and striking 19-inch burnished wheels, which hide golden brake calipers. You cannot miss the emblem to celebrate the 100 years of the Quadrifoglio or some exposed carbon fiber parts, such as the grill and the mirror housings. The bodywork is available in the colors Rosso Etna, Verde Montreal and Nero Vulcano. The interior of the Alfa Romeo Giulia Quadrifoglio 100° Anniversario also has some nods to the competition, with a new steering wheel that sports the four-leaf clover in a carbon trim that matches the center console. On the dashboard it has an inscription of the 100th anniversary and maintains the benefits already known. It mounts the latest 12.3-inch digital instrumentation and the Evolved, Relax, Heritage and Race configurations. What could not change is that 2.9-liter biturbo V6 engine that is the hallmark of the model. Now it reaches 520 CV of power thanks to some improvements and has the Akrapovich exhaust system and the mechanical self-locking differential as standard. That can only mean that this version derives from the powerful Giulia GTA and that it will offer behavior at the level of very few. It is the perfect way to pay tribute to the centenary of this icon so focused on competition, although it will be within the reach of very few lucky ones. The Alfa Romeo Giulia Quadrifoglio 100° Anniversario will have a limited production of 100 units (it could not be another number) and its price has not yet been revealed. https://noticias.coches.com/noticias-motor/alfa-romeo-giulia-quadrifoglio-100-anniversario/489076?foto=1

As interest in ayahuasca spreads around the world, many questions arise about how to integrate it into communities far from its place of origin. Ayahuasca, although well known to more than a hundred indigenous groups in the Amazon basin, is new to countries outside of this region. As the globalization of these practices becomes more po[CENSORED]r, governments often do not know how to approach ayahuasca in public health settings. In recent decades, ayahuasca research has expanded beyond the fields of anthropology and ethnobotany. Researchers are now applying a scientific lens to understand how ayahuasca works and its impact on human and community health. One angle of research that ICEERS has been exploring is the impact of ayahuasca on public health in countries where it has not been integrated into a particular society. According to a study recently published in the Journal of Psychoactive Drugs, ayahuasca can help maintain a healthy lifestyle. The research on the long-term impact was carried out by the ICEERS research team, in collaboration with the Autonomous University of Madrid, the Rovira i Virgili University, the University of São Paulo and the University of Leiden. The study evaluated 377 participants taking part in ayahuasca ceremonies in the Netherlands. "Investigation like this is extremely important to provide public health officials and law enforcement with evidence outlining the real risks and benefits of ayahuasca," Dutch lawyer Adele van der Plas said when asked to comment. comment on the importance of the study. This work echoes previous results from a 2019 ICEERS study of 380 participants in long-lasting ayahuasca ceremonies using health indicators published in the Journal of Psychoactive Drugs. Our research found that people who regularly participate in ayahuasca ceremonies in Spain had significantly better scores on exercise-related health indicators, cholesterol levels, and blood pressure compared to the national average. Respondents also reported a lower rate of physical limitations and chronic illnesses and a reduction in prescription drugs.2 The aim of this new observational and retrospective study was to assess the general health status of people who regularly participate in ayahuasca ceremonies in the Netherlands. This was the first research to use government-established health indicators to assess the well-being of participants in Dutch ayahuasca ceremonies and any potential benefits or risks. Health indicators help generate relevant scientific data to develop evidence-based policies. At a time when legislation has yet to catch up with the expansion of ayahuasca in the international arena, this new document creates a framework for policy makers to make evidence-based policy decisions on ayahuasca and other plant medicines. . In the Global North, extensive work is done to ensure that various natural remedies are safe for human consumption. In addition, international law has commonly categorized indigenous plants and mushrooms as “drugs” that pose a potential risk to public health.3 The results of our research did not raise concerns to suggest that people who regularly consume ayahuasca are at risk of suffer health problems possibly related to its consumption. In fact, we found that the health of the participants in the ayahuasca ceremonies is comparable, or better in some aspects, to the national average. Health indicators and the complexity of well-being Our team collected demographic data from study participants, such as age, gender, national origin, education level, employment status, and household income. We also include several indicators from the Dutch Health Survey to assess the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic. We asked questions about the total number of ayahuasca ceremonies respondents attended, the setting they were in, and the subjective effects on the individual's health. Health indicators can be used to incorporate the complexities of well-being and go beyond examining health as a series of aspects that only occur within the body. As understanding of the multidimensional aspects of mental health increases, more attention is being paid to social isolation and loss of connection to the community as major risk factors. Loneliness and fulfillment in life are examples of abstract, non-biological factors that influence general health. In our study, the presence of long-term illnesses, the use of prescription drugs, and the feeling of loneliness were found to be statistically significant variables related to less than ideal health. The feeling of fullness in life and strong personal values were aspects that led to higher scores in the health indicators. Health is a complex construct that is affected by a wide variety of factors. These results suggest that participation in ayahuasca ceremonies is a self-care practice or a stress reduction technique that people use to lead a healthier lifestyle. Main findings on veteran participants in ayahuasca ceremonies The current research data showed that the majority of the participants in ayahuasca ceremonies (94.7%) stated that they had a good or very good perception of health. They were also more physically active than the general po[CENSORED]tion. Seventy-four percent (74%) of the sample of participants in ayahuasca ceremonies performed a minimum of 150 minutes of moderate exercise per week. Normal body mass index was much higher among participants in ayahuasca ceremonies compared to the Dutch normative data. Participants in ayahuasca ceremonies also ate more vegetables, fruits and legumes and consumed less meat and grains per week compared to the national average. Respondents were found to be using more herbal remedies and fewer prescription drugs. They also reported a lower incidence of chronic disease, diabetes, and hypertension compared with normative data. It was also found that people who participated in more than 100 ceremonies tended to adopt active problem-solving and coping strategies in stressful situations. Those who participated in fewer ceremonies (from three to ten) more frequently adopted avoidance behaviors. Most of the respondents did not reveal significant changes regarding the use of tobacco, alcohol and other substances due to the COVID-19 pandemic. There were statistically significant differences regarding alcohol consumption between those who participated in three to ten ayahuasca ceremonies compared to participants who participated in more than one hundred. Participants in a hundred or more ceremonies ended up consuming less alcohol than at the start of the pandemic. Study participants also used the same amount of tobacco and heroin compared to the general Dutch po[CENSORED]tion and more cannabis, MDMA, LSD and psilocybin mushrooms. These results are consistent with previously published studies indicating that psychedelics, in general, have been suggested to promote positive lifestyle changes.4 Research has also indicated that it is common for people to stop using drugs or reduce their use. after a psychedelic experience.5 The data is difficult to interpret, as the health indicators used in this study showed no difference in drug-related harm compared to the general po[CENSORED]tion. Further research is warranted to compare these specific parameters to better understand the impact of ayahuasca on substance use. Considerations for future research It is important to note that these results do not claim that the better scores for health indicators in the study are directly due to ayahuasca. Our conclusion is, rather, that people who regularly attend ayahuasca ceremonies also engage in other self-care practices or ways of managing stress that ultimately lead to better health. Like any study, this research has several limitations and further research is needed to understand the impact that ayahuasca can have on health and well-being. The hope of this study is to provide public health and law enforcement officials with evidence outlining the actual risks and benefits of medicinal plants, such as ayahuasca. It can also contextualize the enormous complexity of human health and how many aspects beyond physiological factors influence it.

The European country set out to abandon atomic power after the Fukushima disaster, but delayed the "nuclear blackout." Germany closes its last three nuclear reactors this Saturday and thus culminates the abandonment of this type of energy, an old commitment sometimes misunderstood in a context of climate urgency. The leading European economy opens a new energy chapter, faced with the challenge of dispensing with fossil fuels while managing the gas crisis triggered by the war in Ukraine. "It will be a very moving act for colleagues to turn off the plant for the last time," says Guido Knott, president of the company PreussenElektra that operates Isar 2, a few hours after its expiration. By midnight at the latest, the power plants Isar 2 (southeast), Neckarswestheim (southwest) and Emsland (northwest) will be disconnected from the electricity grid. The German government agreed to a postponement of several weeks with respect to the originally scheduled date of December 31, but without questioning the decision to turn the page on this type of energy. Goodbye to nuclear energy "The risks linked to nuclear power are definitely not manageable," Environment Minister Steffi Lemke said this week. In fact, they worry large sectors of the po[CENSORED]tion and cemented the environmental movement. Greenpeace organized on Saturday at the foot of the Brandenburg Gate in Berlin a farewell to the atom, symbolized by the remains of a dinosaur defeated by the anti-nuclear movement. "Nuclear power belongs to history," proclaimed the NGO. In Munich, a "party for the exit from nuclear energy" brought together a few hundred people, AFPTV found. "Nuclear power, thank you," writes the conservative daily FAZ instead on Saturday, underlining the benefits that, according to him, it brought to Germany. Following an initial decision by Berlin in the early 2000s to phase out atomic energy, former Chancellor Angela Merkel accelerated the process after the Fukushima catastrophe in 2011, a spectacular political turnaround. Since 2003, Germany has already closed 16 reactors. "Strategic mistake" According to a recent poll for the public channel ARD, 59% of respondents think that abandoning nuclear energy in this context is not a good idea. Germany should "expand energy supply, not restrict it further" at the risk of shortages and high prices, lamented the president of the German chambers of commerce, Peter Adrian, in the Rheinische Post newspaper. “It is a strategic mistake in a geopolitical environment that remains tense,” said Bijan Djir-Sarai, secretary general of the liberal FDP party, a partner in Olaf Scholz's coalition government and environmentalists. The last three plants only provided 6% of the power produced in the country last year, while nuclear power accounted for 30.8% in 1997. In parallel, the percentage of renewable energies in total production has increased to 46% in 2022, compared to less than 25% a decade earlier. "After 20 years of energy transition, renewables now produce about one and a half times more electricity than nuclear power at its peak in Germany," Simon Müller, director of the Agora Energiewende research center, told AFP. in energy transition. Germany prefers to focus on its goal of covering 80% of its electricity needs with renewable energy by 2030 and shutting down its coal plants no later than 2038. https://www.eluniverso.com/noticias/internacional/alemania-desconecta-hoy-sus-tres-ultimas-centrales-nucleares-para-apostar-por-energia-del-sol-y-el-viento-nota/

The April update for Xbox includes two very interesting changes for users. Throughout this week the April update for Xbox will be released. An 'update' that promises to improve the experience for users of Microsoft consoles and that will focus on two very specific changes. On the one hand, there will be a great adjustment in terms of searches and navigability in the console. On the other, a tool that will allow us to save energy and reduce the impact of the machine on our bill, although it is more thought of as a global improvement to reduce the carbon footprint of the brand through the collaboration of millions of users. . The two big changes in the Xbox update Regarding the navigability improvements, they focus on searches. The console page dedicated to this purpose will have a renewed appearance with a more elegant and tidy style. There will be a selection of filters at the top of the screen that will allow us to search among recommendations, games, already installed items, movies, applications, or console settings. In general, a good way to be able to access anything we need from a common menu on the machine that has been missing for a long time. Even so, the energy saving system may be even more interesting. Going to the options menu (or using the new search tool) we can configure the console so that it is only active in a certain range of hours. In this way, it will turn off completely when our day is over and recover its functions only when we are about to wake up. "When your Xbox hours for the day are up, the console will shut down completely automatically, consuming 0.5 watts instead of the 10 or 15 it does when it's active." According to the company, if two users do this 20 hours a day for a year, it will reduce the carbon footprint by the equivalent of a tree planted and growing for a decade. This last option must be selected manually, since by default it will remain in the current always-ready mode for fast boot. From Xbox they remind users that during the hours of activity the functions will not change with respect to the current ones and that the system is completely automatic. If we want it to be active every day starting at, say, 8:00 in the morning, no additional manual action is required to get it working. Remember that the new update will be available throughout the week. https://www.3djuegos.com/xbox-one/noticias/actualizacion-llega-a-xbox-para-cumplir-importante-objetivo-microsoft-quieren-convertir-sus-consolas-ecologicas-mundo

Genshin Impact's monetization has caused many to invalidate it as a video game, but it's worth talking about seriously. At this point, saying that Genshin Impact has been successful only makes you the messenger of the obvious. Three years after its launch, there are still millions of active players and it's only been a couple of months since the HoYoverse title broke its revenue record. Some formidable figures that arrive almost in a paradoxical way, because it seems that the world is divided into two categories: those who regularly play the video game and those who hate it like no other. It is a particularly curious situation, especially when we think about the main critics of this second group of people. Genshin Impact is controversial from day one At its time of release, the sticks to Genshin Impact came from several fronts. Some mechanics too similar to Breath of the Wild were questioned, those who tried it were not always satisfied with an open world that did not fully take advantage of its full potential and a monetization system based on random rewards was questioned. The evolution of the HoYoverse video game has led to a good part of the arguments that supported the first two theses being dismissed and, since then, almost everything has focused on the monetary section. Go ahead, I hate systems with random rewards and I am very clear that Genshin Impact is worse and impossible to recommend to everyone because of this issue. However, one can only get a certain sense of injustice after hearing the constant criticism of the 'gacha' system. It's very tempting to defend this from the perspective of "yeah, but so many other video games do the same thing." This never seemed like a valid argument to me because things that are bad don't get better because a lot of people do them. The real difference is that when we talk about FIFA or Counter-Strike 2 we refer to the monetization system as a part of the title. Something that many of us would point out as a negative section or that we do not like. However, here the perspective is different. Genshin Impact seems to be invalidated from any discussion about whether or not it is a good game because of the random rewards. It's not a part you'd want to change or an element you'd want to never see again in future HoYoverse releases. It becomes something that goes much further, an unexpected representative of what many players like least. An inevitable clash between realities This is the section where there really seems to be some injustice. The discussion about whether Genshin Impact's monetization systems are good or bad is not on the table, because it is clear that there are much more friendly models for consumers. However, I don't understand why you have to make it the greatest exponent of a practice in which, moreover, it comes out much better than most of its competitors. There's a reason the game has been so successful and it doesn't just have to do with production values that, monetization system excluded, play in another league compared to most 'free to play' of its year of release. premiere. The greatest ambition of a 'free to play' game is accessibility. The companies want everyone to try it without barriers because "it's free" and then there will be someone who ends up spending money. On PC we have already gotten used to the fact that this system is quite neat, offering very interesting titles with better or worse practices in terms of monetization, but not very intrusive. However, there are two key elements that differentiate Genshin Impact: it is a video game also released on mobiles and much more similar to a 'singleplayer' experience than to a conventional multiplayer. It escapes no one that a free game is always going to be more attractive for people with less income who don't have a whole sea of possibilities before them. This is where Genshin Impact's strengths come in. Mobile games with high production values are very rare. Almost none offer a connected world and the experience breaks every few minutes with the return to an interface from which the adventure is managed or the appearance of ads. However, HoYoverse opted for a more ambitious idea. If you played on mobile, the jump from almost any other free to play to Genshin was like going from one console to another two generations more advanced. In addition to this, we must take into account a cultural factor. HoYoverse is a Chinese developer whose main area of influence is Asia. Mobile gaming is very powerful in this region and, hard to believe, players are not particularly critical of their monetization systems. Even League of Legends, managed in Southeast Asia by Garena until the beginning of 2023 (this company was in charge of monetization), had a whole assortment of 'lootboxes' and other similar mechanisms in the Indonesian area. Some complaints from time to time, but in general, users understood this system as "normal" and some even appreciated it since more cosmetics could be obtained. Due to the global economic reality, video games have historically excluded a large part of the po[CENSORED]tion. Europe, North America and Japan account for approximately 18% of the world's inhabitants. However, they accumulate 80% of the historical sales of PlayStation 4. Players from other latitudes have standardized monetization systems that are not beneficial because for years this has been their only way of accessing video games. In this sense, the current position depends a lot on the lack of interest in the not so distant past. Perhaps in this sense the term 'gacha' has hurt and, honestly, I've never liked it. Turning the word that refers to a monetization system into a kind of subgenre of video games is a harmful practice. A reductionism that is not carried out in the titles developed by large Western companies and that sins of creating stereotyped profiles. It denatures these titles from a perspective partly motivated by ignorance. Due to the global economic reality, video games have historically excluded a large part of the po[CENSORED]tion.

The company has detailed the changes that will be in Diablo 4 for the final release, all due to player feedback. If 2023 aims to be a brilliant year in terms of video games, it is partly thanks to Diablo 4. The work developed by Blizzard debuted last month with an open beta that has captivated thousands of fans. However, the game is not perfect as there are some aspects to improve, and fans have reported this to Blizzard, which has promised numerous changes to improve the final experience. As we read in Gamingbolt, Blizzard will improve the design of the dungeons, the classes, the interface and more aspects of Diablo 4, as detailed on its official website. The company has already set to work to also improve the behavior of the enemies. "Our main goal with the design changes was to reduce certain types of recoil that detract from the player experience," Blizzard notes. The changes will also reach all five classes in the game, with both the Barbarian and the Rogue benefiting the most. At the moment the victim is the Necromancer, since the power will be reduced to the explosions of corpses. However, many users care about the design of the dungeons as they were very similar to each other, at least in the beta area. Blizzard will now increase the chances of dungeon events appearing, PC Gamer reports. More Diablo 4 Features One of the aspects that matter most to players is the endgame of Diablo 4, but the company has already offered some hints on what it will be like. In addition, they have also indicated that on April 20 they will share more information about it and also about the progression systems. Diablo 4 will be released on June 6 for PS5, Xbox One, PS4, PC, and Xbox Series X|S. https://www.3djuegos.com/juegos/diablo-iv/noticias/blizzard-se-esta-tomando-serio-criticas-comunidad-diablo-4-ello-ha-prometido-numerosos-cambios
