The new species is likely to be found only in the area where it was found. A new species of land frog described in the Cordillera del Cóndor by Ecuadorian researchers has been named Pristimantis ledzeppelin, in honor of the mythical British rock band Led Zeppelin. His finding, in the community of Río Blanco, in that mountain range of the Ecuadorian Andean system, has been published this month in the scientific journal Neotropical Biodiversity. It is likely that the new species is only found in the area where it was found, say the researchers who wanted to honor the British band formed in 1968, of enormous influence on later rock, by giving its name to the new frog found. The research was developed by a team from the San Francisco de Quito University (USFQ), in collaboration with the National Institute of Biodiversity (INABIO), reported this Wednesday this entity attached to the Ministry of Environment, Water and Ecological Transition of Ecuador. The new species is characterized by having finely tuberculated skin on the back and flanks, a distinctive sca[CENSORED]r fold, and a rounded snout with a small rostral papilla, the institution specified. It also has truncated digit discs, English, and hidden yellowish thigh surfaces and distinctive blackish-brown markings and coppery-red irises. According to researchers David Brito-Zapata and Carolina Reyes-Puig (associated with INABIO), land frogs of the genus Pristimantis are an extremely diverse group of vertebrates that currently comprise 569 known species. Only in the last two years, twenty-eight species of this genus have been described in Ecuador, of which fourteen are from the southern Andes, a region that has proven to be one of the most diverse in small vertebrates and with high endemism. The Cordillera del Cóndor is a mountain range with rugged topography in southeastern Ecuador and northern Peru, located east of the main body of the eastern Andes. The great biodiversity of this region is still unknown, although in recent years there have been several discoveries of amphibians restricted to this endemic area. This mountainous system is part of one of the most threatened ecoregions in the world, due to the expansion of agriculture and livestock frontiers, logging, small and large-scale mining, also due to the introduction of diseases, as well as possible effects of the climate change, scientists say.

The Kia Telluride is one of the most important all-terrain vehicles in America. Its history is very recent, so much so that at the moment it is the first, and only, generation that the South Korean firm commercializes of it. However, it was to launch it on the market and kiss the saint, especially in terms of prizes and order volume. The proof is that, almost without disheveled, he won the prestigious "World Car Award" that took place in the 2020 financial year. Now, after two years on sale, its managers have decided that it should undergo a subtle restyling. The reason for this we do not know, since the equator of its life cycle has not yet arrived. However, it is to be understood that his rivals "hate" him and therefore want to take away his position as a pretty boy. So they have not broken their heads and have updated some sections of their aesthetics and endowment. Although, yes, do not expect big changes ... Kia Telluride revamp focuses on front grille and logos If we look closely at the photos that Kia USA has posted, we can see how the Telluride has evolved. Especially on the front, including the new logo that is gradually reaching the rest of the models in the range. The Tiger Nose grill remains as is, although a new decorative mesh seems to have arrived after it. And so far we can read, because the rest of the elements that make up the aesthetics of this all-terrain seem to remain as is. However, customers who want to add a touch of "darkness" to their Kia Telluride can opt for the Nightfall Edition. The novelties that it introduces in its aesthetics are not radical, although they can be seen with the naked eye. Especially since the different chrome trim and appliques disappear to turn black. Nor can we ignore that the bodywork, roof bars and alloy wheels are dressed in a glossy black tone. Inside, the revamped Kia Telluride also gets some changes. These do not focus on its design, which remains unchanged from the version that is still sold. Its managers, in this regard, have decided to increase the standard endowment from the access levels. Thus, there will be no lack of elements such as the 10.25-inch central touch screen, automatic climate, active cruise control or roadside driver assistance. All these improvements, of course, will have an impact on a higher sale price. However, the difference with respect to his main rivals continues to be beneficial for him. Still, the first units of the updated Telluride will hit Kia dealerships in the United States later this year. A pity that Europe still does not reach, because with a hybrid or plug-in hybrid version it could make a lot of pupae.

The coach showed his confidence in being able to qualify for the next round, for which he must obtain good results in his duels with Peru and Brazil. The Ecuador coach, Gustavo Alfaro, assured this Sunday that his team is taking a toll on "the deconcentration", after the Tri drew 2-2 with Venezuela on the third day of group B of the Copa América. "Today we create opportunities, but once again the deconcentration has cost us," Alfaro said at the post-match press conference. In his opinion and in order to continue progressing, the team must increase its "defensive concentration" and work the game times "with maturity" to know that "a lost opponent is going to throw your body up." That, he considers, "is corrected with work", although he stressed that sometimes learning can be "painful because they take away points and lose possibilities." Ecuador was twice ahead on the scoreboard of a Venezuela that has a dozen casualties due to a covid-19 outbreak and the injuries of its biggest stars. The last loss was that of midfielder Yangel Herrera, who was injured in the match of the second day against Colombia and will not be able to play any game in the remainder of the tournament. Despite this, he was able to take advantage of two defensive insecurities to score two goals that gave him the second point for La Vinotinto, provisionally keeping it in third position in the group. Fourth was Ecuador, thanks to the point achieved this Sunday and after the defeat in the first game with Colombia. The result of Peru this Sunday was yet to be defined, precisely against the coffee growers. For all this, Alfaro claimed to end the day with a "bitter" taste because, he considered, they had everything to face to win but they did not. However, he highlighted the good response from the players, especially from the youngsters. In fact, Gonzalo Plata, 20, scored this Sunday the second goal of the Ecuadorian team after a great personal move that he began with a ride almost from his area to the rival goal. Finally, the coach showed his confidence in being able to qualify for the next round, for which he must obtain good results in his duels with Peru and the host, Brazil.

Lack of vitamins can lead to premature aging. Good nutrition is key to avoid having different health problems, even more so as the years go by. According to the World Health Organization (WHO), the lack of nutrients also causes malnutrition. “Inadequate intakes of vitamins and minerals (the so-called micronutrients) can be grouped together in the same group. The body needs micronutrients to produce enzymes, hormones, and other substances essential for proper growth and development. Iodine, vitamin A and iron are the most important in terms of public health on a global scale, ”he noted. Although the po[CENSORED]tion that is most affected and vulnerable to these problems are children and pregnant women, as adults advance in their age there are nutrients that should not be neglected. According to the portal Your doctor, there are vitamins that you should not leave out of your diet after the age of 30, such as vitamin E, which provides antioxidants and delays the appearance of premature wrinkles. The foods that have these nutrients are raspberries, strawberries, blackberries, walnuts, blueberries, among others. Another component that should not be overlooked is iron, which is included in red meat and seafood, its deficiency causes anemia. Calcium is also important in the human body because it prevents osteoporosis, the foods that provide this are cheese, salmon, broccoli and milk. Vitamin C should not be lacking in your diet either, taking greater prominence during the pandemic, as it can reduce skin blemishes. Finally, folic acid is essential for those women who plan to have a baby and you can find nuts, avocado, among others.

The Chinese authorities have not given the green light to any foreign vaccines and are immunizing with seven local drugs. China has already administered more than 1 billion doses of its COVID-19 vaccines in its national territory, the National Health Commission of the Asian country reported this Sunday. In a brief statement, the institution points out that more than 1.010 million doses had been inoculated in China as of Saturday. The number of injected doses represents more than a third of the world total. By Friday, the world had passed the barrier of 2.5 billion doses, according to an AFP tally based on official sources. The local press highlights that 100 million of these injections have been administered in the last six days, which shows the acceleration of the vaccination campaign. The objective of the authorities is to vaccinate at least 70% of the po[CENSORED]tion - the groups that can be inoculated include minors between 3 and 17 years old for a few days - before the end of 2021, says EFE. The Chinese did not rush to get vaccinated because the virus has been almost eradicated in the country for more than a year, thanks to mandatory quarantines, mass testing and mobile applications to control movements. The lack of initially available data on Chinese vaccines and past adulterated dose scandals in China also contributed to the demotivation of some people. Given this, the government and companies strongly urged residents and employees to get vaccinated. In some cases, the authorities offer purchase vouchers or eggs to encourage vaccination. Of the seven vaccines authorized by China for emergency use - four also have a marketing permit - so far, five require two doses; one, of three, and another, the one developed by CanSino, only of one. At the moment, the Chinese authorities have not given the green light to any foreign vaccines for use in the mainland of the country - they are used, for example, in the semi-autonomous region of Hong Kong - despite the fact that, for example, the pharmaceutical company local Fosun Pharma has had an agreement for months to distribute the Pfizer-BioNTech preparation. Meanwhile, the health authorities reported this Sunday 23 new cases of the virus in the last 24 hours, all from abroad and who were placed in isolation. There have only been two deaths from COVID-19 in thirteen months in China. Shops, restaurants and bars reopened in the spring of 2020 and public opinion is generally very satisfied with the management of the crisis by the government of President Xi Jinping.

A group of researchers has described a new species of starfish -animal similar to starfish-, which was baptized 'Ophiojura', said this Thursday Dr. Tim O'Hara, main curator of the Victoria Museums (Australia) and main author of the study, published in the journal Proceedings of the Royal Society B. The animal was discovered by scientists at the French National Museum of Natural History at a depth of 500 meters at the top of the Banc Durand seamount, located 200 kilometers east of New Caledonia in the South Pacific. Ophiojura, unique in its kind, has eight long arms armed with a series of hooks and thorns. The expert explained that a CT microtomography revealed rows of sharp teeth on all the jaws, which supposedly serve to trap and destroy prey. "If I had found this creature, I would have died," Christopher Mah, a researcher at the US National Museum of Natural History and an expert on starfish, who reviewed the article, told The New York Times. "That thing is all teeth," he added. DNA analysis showed that the species evolved from its closest living relatives about 180 million years ago, between the Triassic and Early Jurassic, when dinosaurs first emerged. "We now call them 'paleoendemic,' that is, a branch of life that was once widespread and is now limited to a few areas," O'Hara said. "Regarding the life of the seabed, the center of paleoendemism is in the continental margins and in the seamounts, in tropical waters between 200 and 1,000 meters deep," he pointed out.

When it comes to super sports cars, its name does not usually come out in the top positions, but the Porsche 911 GT3 is a real giant killer. This model, in its many and different versions, is one of the most desired by fans of four wheels. It is not strange, since the Stuttgart house has managed to maintain its essence throughout the more than 50 years that it has been for sale. However, not all customers want equal attention. This axiom is applicable as the volume of the client's portfolio increases. To prevent them from setting their eyes on models that are just as sporty but less "scandalous to look at", Porsche has the solution. Take a 911 GT3 and add the Touring pack to the endowment. This is not the first time that it has carried out a similar commercial movement, since with the previous delivery (the 991.2) there was already a Porsche 911 GT3 Touring. We tell you the secrets of the new ... The image of the Porsche 911 GT3 Touring is more sober and elegant ... As we mentioned before, the Porsche 911 GT3 Touring brings a touch of discretion to the image of the GT3 that we already know. In fact, the main aesthetic difference between the two versions lies in the large rear wing. Rather, in the lack of this element, because on this occasion the engineers have opted for a retractable spoiler that folds or unfolds depending on the speed. However, it is not the only difference in its design. The grille has revised lines and the line of the windows adds a discreet chrome appliqué. Nor can we overlook the silver finish on the dual tailpipe or the GT3 Touring logo on the rear bumper. For its part, the wheels are on 20 and 21-inch alloy wheels. In terms of customization options, the interior is dressed in black leather on the upper part of the dashboard and other shades in the rest. To finish we must take a look at his heart. Under the hood remains the 4.0-liter naturally aspirated six-cylinder boxer block with 374 kW (510 hp) of power and 496 Nm of maximum torque. The novelty is that customers who do not want the PDK automatic transmission can mount a manual Speed GT with 6 relations. However, its sale will start at the end of the year and when the time comes we will know more details.

A few days ago the important Spanish newspaper AS after observing the performance of the different teams in the first two dates that compete in the Copa América drew its conclusions about the level of several of them and included Ecuador. Unsurprisingly, the host was labeled the strongest candidate to win the title. About Argentina he said that he should improve if he aspires to be the winner. He described Chile as a complicated team, because it knows how to defend itself and dangerously counterattack. De Colombia said that the triumph over La Tri represented a key victory, without fanfare. And about our selection, the newspaper made a diverse reflection, but very close to the truth. The comment revealed the unfortunate performance that the Ecuadorian cast has shown in their latest performances: “A remarkable step back in recent months for Gustavo Alfaro's team, from which much more was expected in their match against Colombia. Very far from generating the danger that he showed not so long ago in the qualifying matches to Qatar 2022. The talent accumulated by La Tri must take a step forward ”. This analysis of AS, in its context, reveals a general framework that without much effort is envisioned by those of us who live day to day with our championship and the performance of our players abroad. Those of us who know the sad stories of tied calls, the best moments of the National Team, but also the deplorable eliminations, know that in Copa América we have always been closer to pitiful failures than to successful events. Those of us who are aware of all these elements do have the obligation not to remain only in the context of the Spanish newspaper, but to deeply analyze the reasons. The Ecuadorian fans would not forgive us if we dedicate ourselves to giving diagnoses without analyzing the reasons and giving a prescription that could be adequate, a journalistic style that does not always appeal to leaders and selectors. What happened to Alfaro so that he has lost the north of the team, so that in such a short time the applause has been exhausted and the criticism has arisen? I think that, in understandable words, he has dived his belly, because with his initial successes, a product of the logic in his actions, he himself now took charge of doing the opposite of what he had accustomed us to prematurely. What is striking is that, being Alfaro a strategist with a career, it is very rare that all that has happened so quickly. There is still a veil of intrigue about where he should have more certainties than nonsense, such as: a good call, an adequate alignment and a successful tactical disposition. To everyone's shame, in these last three games not even the modifications made, which they tried to correct, were decisive, because they were all late amendments. The use of players without rhythm, without ownership in their clubs has also attracted attention, a subject of which no one has dared to give a credible explanation. What he has surprised in recent press conference interventions is that, in the style of a pulpit priest, Alfaro insists that he is following the steps necessary to find the philosopher's stone that others have led him astray. He referred, trying to mitigate errors, to extra-football issues that to date have not had an explanation. The arguments only tried, without success, to explain and even justify the reason for the defeat against Peru in Quito (1-2). The DT must know that this old habit of putting the blame on motives without identifying them makes him a partner in an accomplice silence. Something similar happened in the fall against Colombia (0-1), where his explanation went more to make us believe that we should have triumphed, when we know in practice that Colombia won the game by playing badly. However, the key question at the moment is: is it feasible that Gustavo Alfaro can set course? I sincerely believe that, as long as the Argentine coach echoes his own convictions, he must understand that in times of crisis he should find the solution in himself. He has to land on reality, being self-critical, logical, consistent, firm and autonomous. Alfaro must re-commit himself to all those people that he himself deluded. To achieve this, he must be reactionary enough and modify his work plan, under his sole responsibility. That he has in mind that, in football, at the moment of triumph, the truck will be full of heroes and in failure he will be left alone without anyone helping him to get off. A question that took shape in the Ecuadorian soccer society after the three losses in a row was: who advises Mr. Alfaro? And that questioning has weight when analyzing the alignments that give the impression of not being his absolute responsibility, because of how misguided. Only one stroke of the rudder will help the technician to show us that, both in victory and in defeat, everything is his absolute responsibility and responsibility. I am convinced that what Alfaro did in the first round of the qualifying rounds was not a stroke of chance or a coincidence in Pascuales. Those triumphs against Uruguay (4-2), Bolivia, (3-2) and the beating of the linajuda Colombia (6-1) were the product of his knowledge. For that reason, I still trust that I can recover the identity and originality that the football of our team showed the world a few months ago. Hopefully the Copa América does not become a laboratory again, claiming that the main thing is qualifying for the World Cup, as the Guarachero from Medellín repeated a thousand times. Turning this contest into an experiment is nonsense, because, although Conmebol has made great efforts to discredit it, it is still, due to its history, an important and desired cup by most countries, even by those who have already registered their name. as champions. With these antecedents that surround our performances from 1949 to date in the tournament, even the following question could be valid: is the Copa América a ‘damn’ tournament for Ecuador? If we stop to review the numbers that confirm the resounding failure, it would seem that a curse has always been lurking, but those of us who believe in football and its intrinsic nature know that the origin of failures is not curses, but bad decisions and treating of the America's Cup those reasons have abounded. Will Brazil 2021 be the same as always for our national team? A timely correction releases future regrets. Alfaro must be clear about it and demonstrate it. He is the project leader. That his power depends less on words and more on the quality of his governance, without allowing anyone or anything to distract her. That everyone in the environment, including the players, understand that the success of the results is closely linked to external and internal preparation, on the court and in the offices. Let the coach remember that phrase he uttered when he first took over the Tricolor: "This is a matter of belief and I can tell people to stay calm, because everyone in the team is predisposed and committed." That's right, Mr. Gustavo Alfaro, we also hope that this is the case, because, after all, a po[CENSORED]r illusion is at stake.

Intermittent fasting is a voluntary abstinence from food and beverages, except water, infusions or coffee alone. Fasting is totally or partially abstaining from eating or drinking. It can be in a natural way, from twelve o'clock in the preceding night —which gives rise to breakfast—, but also by religious precept. Additionally, dietary guidelines that include periods of voluntary fasting have become po[CENSORED]r in recent years. Fasting diets focus primarily on when you can eat. There are many different fasting diets, sometimes called "intermittent fasting." In time-restricted eating, you can eat every day, but only for a limited number of hours. Therefore, you can only eat six to eight hours each day. For example, you can have breakfast and lunch, but skip dinner. On alternate day fasting, you can eat every other day and no or very few calories on the days in between. Another type restricts calories during the week, but not on the weekends. The Spanish Society of Endocrinology and Nutrition (SEEN) defines different formulas for intermittent breakfast: Daily frequency: at least 12 hours of fasting, the best-known pattern being 8/16, that is, fasting 16 hours in which 8 hours of sleep are included. The most common feeding window is from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. Weekly frequency: one or two days a week. The most po[CENSORED]r is the 5/2 diet, eating normal five days a week, accompanied by a severe reduction in intake the next two. Monthly frequency: fast a couple of days in a row every month. Less frequent. To lose weight The US National Institutes of Health (NIH) indicate that for many people, the main reason to try fasting is to lose weight. Today, most people try to lose weight by restricting the number of calories they eat each day. Intermittent fasting diets are more of an eating program than a "diet", so maintaining weight loss will depend on how well the person adapts to that pattern in the long term, British nutritionist Kerry Torrens tells the BBC. There are different patterns of intermittent fasting diets, and according to Torrens, no matter what the specific pattern is, the important thing is that for these diets to be safe, effective and healthy, the food consumed must have great nutritional value. The specialist recommends including essential and healthy fats such as fish, nuts and seeds, lean sources of protein, whole grains and many vegetables and vegetables to supply all the necessary fiber, vitamins and minerals. Fasting at specific times Intermittent fasting is a voluntary abstinence from food and beverages - except water, infusions or coffee alone - in specific and recurring periods and depends on the lifestyle and tolerance of each person. “It is not about stopping eating, but about doing it at specific times. For example, fasts of 12 or 16 hours during the night ”, Vanessa Martín, nutritionist at OBSalud of Spain, tells Europa Press. “Nor is it necessary to do it every day. It can be done two or three days a week or on alternate days, ”she adds. The nutritionist assures that the benefits of this practice are many: apart from helping in weight loss, it improves glucose regulation and insulin sensitivity, blood pressure and heart rate. In addition, it increases the effectiveness of resistance training. "We must add to the arguments in favor that intermittent fasting directly influences the improvement of the intestinal microbiota (flora), which is essential to increase the body's defenses and immune response to viral and infectious processes", emphasizes Martín. "There are even bacteria in saliva that change with the timing of meals, have an impact on the gut, and are linked to inflammatory bowel diseases," she adds. It is not necessarily for everyone The SEEN details, based on studies, that intermittent fasting could provide health benefits, to a greater extent than can be attributed to the reduction of caloric intake, “improving obesity, insulin resistance, dyslipidemia, hypertension, and reducing markers of systemic inflammation and oxidative stress that are associated with atherosclerosis ”. But Valter Longo, an NIH-funded longevity researcher at the University of Southern California, cautions that there is still a lot we don't know. For some, fasting can cause problems. For example, he notes that studies have found that people who regularly fast more than 16 to 18 hours a day have a higher risk of gallstones. Also, they are more likely to need surgery to remove the gallbladder. Longo explains that eating for 12 hours and then fasting for 12 hours is safe for most people. "This eating pattern is very common among people who have recorded their longevity," he says. "It seems to coincide with science and tradition." However, it is cautioned that if you are considering fasting, first speak with your healthcare provider. People with certain diseases or who are taking certain medications should not attempt fasting at all. Intermittent fasting is discouraged for people with eating disorders, stress, or anxiety. In addition, according to SEEN, this intermittent fasting could cause some side effects such as headache, dizziness or lack of concentration.

In the case of the US, more than 10,200 cases of infections have been reported in vaccinated people. The pharmaceutical company Pfizer announced on Tuesday that it will carry out a study on a group of people who, after being vaccinated, contracted the COVID-19 virus, to determine if a booster injection is necessary and, if so, when to give it. This was announced by David Swerdlow, an expert in clinical epidemiology at this company, during the World Conference on Precision Medicine that is being held virtually these days in the city of San Francisco. "We will look at real-world data to help us understand when we might see a change in the effectiveness of the vaccine," Swerdlow said, the Bloomberg agency reported Monday. The expert added that they will monitor this situation "closely" and use "immunological data, clinical data and real world data" to determine when a booster vaccination might be necessary. "We will look at real-world data to help us understand when we might see a change in the effectiveness of the vaccine," Swerdlow said, the Bloomberg agency reported Monday. The expert added that they will monitor this situation "closely" and use "immunological data, clinical data and real world data" to determine when a booster vaccination might be necessary. As of April 30, more than 10,200 cases of infections have been reported in vaccinated people in the United States. About 44% of the nation's po[CENSORED]tion has been fully inoculated, with some 311 million doses administered so far, according to the Johns Hopkins University tracker. Booster, or follow-up injections are for patients who have received the full dose of their initial vaccine (one or two doses, depending on the brand) and whose immune system may need an extra boost along the way to combat variants or boost the decrease in antibodies, says the expert. In this situation, “we are working to understand the impact of booster doses. We will get data from ongoing follow-up of our clinical trials to see how long immune markers last, ”Swerdlow said. There are still "unanswered questions," said Julie Louise Gerberding, executive vice president of Merck & Co. and former director of the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. "Even with the amazing and wonderful efficacy of the vaccines that are currently licensed, we do not know the durability of long-term protection," she stressed. A real-world study called HERO-Together, led by the Duke University Clinical Research Institute, is designed to address the health outcomes and long-term effects of COVID-19 vaccines, but is limited to those health workers. Pfizer indicated that its researchers could expand beyond that po[CENSORED]tion, Bloomberg says. "There are many scientific advances that need to be monitored and evaluated as we move forward, we are certainly not out of the woods" with COVID, Gerberding added.

Genetics can also help explain why some dogs perform better than others on social tasks. Dogs have a great ability to communicate with people and their social skills can be present from a very young age without having to be learned, although some puppies start out better than others based on their genetics. Research from the University of Arizona published today by Current Biology indicates that puppies respond to people's social gaze and can successfully use information provided by a human from a very young age and before extensive contact with them. The team, which has studied canine behavior for a decade, used 375 two-month-old puppies who had not been separated from their litters, so their interaction with humans was limited. All of them came from an organization that trains future service dogs. The study's lead author, Emily Bray, explained that most dogs were capable, among other things, of finding hidden food by following a human's finger to the indicated location. "There was evidence that these types of social skills were present in adulthood, but here we found evidence that puppies - like humans - are biologically prepared to interact in these social ways," she said. The researchers knew the pedigree of each puppy for several generations and the degree of kinship between them, so they could create a statistical model to evaluate genetic factors versus environmental factors. Genetics "accounted for more than 40%" of the variation in the puppies' ability to follow human gestures of pointing, as well as the variation in the time they maintained eye contact during a task designed to measure their interest in people. indicated the University. Genetics can also help explain why some dogs perform better than others on social tasks like following signaling gestures. The puppies had to participate in tasks such as following the indication with the finger to get a hidden treat, looking at a person's face while talking to them or trying to get a prize locked in a container, to observe, in this case, what often the animal sought help from the human. Although many of the pups responded to physical and verbal cues, very few sought help to try to open the container, suggesting that, although they are born knowing how to respond to human-initiated communication, the ability to initiate it may come later. Puppies are adept at the outset when it comes to gesture and eye contact-based social communications, but this only worked when people also initiated the interaction by speaking to puppies in a high-pitched voice. Now, the team is collecting cognitive data and blood samples from adult dogs to conduct a genome-wide association study, with the goal of identifying genetic markers associated with these social behaviors.

Tuning fashion seems to have happened thousands of years ago but it is not. There are still passionate about this way of seeing and understanding the automotive sector. The preparations are as wide as tastes and economic possibilities. Some are questionable for going from baroque to tacky, and others elegant for being more restrained. The fact is that, although it sounds strange, there are still brands that bet on this philosophy, although with more taste and modesty. The Toyota Highlander Bronze Edition is one of the best examples of fine tuning. The D-SUV of the Japanese firm wants to please US customers and for this it has become "handsome." In this case, do not panic, because it is a limited version that from this market, so special, it seems that it will not come out. We tell you its secrets, although just seeing those alloy wheels takes away your desire to keep looking. Quiet… The Toyota Highlander Bronze Edition, for now, will only be sold in the US As you can see in the images, the basic design lines of the Toyota Highlander Bronze Edition remain unchanged. On this occasion, the bodywork is dressed in two new shades: Cement Gray and Wind Chill Pearl. Regardless of the tone chosen, the 18-inch five-spoke alloy wheels are finished in a bronze tone. The rest of the changes that this special version assumes are inside, inside the doors. As soon as we open the door, we see finished and illuminated thresholds in a bronze tone. This same color also extends to the trims that adorn the floor mats, the cargo floor of the trunk or the seats. In this case, there are textured inserts that Toyota claims are inspired by mid-century modern styling. In a third order we have the endowment, which is enriched with elements seen in higher finishes. The Toyota Highlander Bronze Edition comes standard with optional items such as light and rain sensors, digital interior rear view mirror or wireless smartphone charger. If the customer opts for the XLE version, they will add LED ambient lighting, a 10-way electric driver's seat or a passenger seat with height and tilt adjustment. Where there is no change is in its hybrid powertrain with the possibility of all-wheel drive. Its arrival on the American market will take place at the end of the year and, for now, its price is not official. We will have to see its sales success and if the move is repeated later with other models in the range. From time to time it is lucky to live in Europe, don't you think ...?

Nuggets beat the Portland Trail Blazers 147-140 in two overtime times and left the key 3-2. The Brooklyn Nets already fought the first round of the NBA playoffs in the Eastern Conference by defeating the Boston Celtics, while LeBron James has put himself against the wall after his Lakers fell on Tuesday against the Phoenix Suns. In the early hours, with a triple-double by star James Harden, the Nets beat the Celtics 123-109 and closed their first-round playoff series 4-1, cutting a ticket to the Eastern Conference semifinals. Harden overflowed with 34 points, 10 rebounds and 10 assists and was seconded by the other two of the Big 3: Kyrie Irving, with 25 points, and Kevin Durant, with 24. The stellar trio combined to score 83 of the 123 points of the team. For the Boston team, their scoring star Jayson Tatum had an excellent game with 32 points, nine sacks and five assists. Despite that performance, Tatum fell short as he has 50, 40 and 40 point games in this year's play-in and playoff games. Despite this, he is the first Celtics player with three 40-point games in a postseason since Larry Bird in 1984-85. The Celtics lost in the first round of these playoffs for the first time since 2016. Meanwhile, the victory secures the Brooklyn Nets their ticket to the Eastern Conference semifinals for the first time since 2014. This time they will face the Milwaukee Bucks, who swept the Miami Heat (4-0). Harden, Nets engine The game had a much calmer atmosphere at the Barclay Center, away from the electricity that accompanied Irving's return to Boston Garden in the previous two games. On the court, Harden was the engine of the Nets. Author of a triple-double that he guided on several occasions, he allowed his team to take off on the scoreboard, either by his shots behind the arc or by attacking the painted area. Without giving the impression of force, Brooklyn gave a big push in the middle of the fourth quarter, with four consecutive three-point actions: a basket plus Harden's free throw, followed by two long-range shots from the other two members of “ Big3, ”Durant and Irving, before Harden hit another. All in two minutes to lead 106-91. “We did a very good job. Today we were able to toughen up the game in the fourth quarter. We closed the defense and since we know how to do it at the back offensively, we have fun, ”said Harden after the game. Up front, the pace was too high for the Celtics, thanks to the injury absences of Kemba Walker and Jaylen Brown, although Tatum, playing with pain in his right foot, scored 32 points. Therefore, the logic in favor of the Nets was respected, who will have to assume a little more their status as favorites in the next round, starting on Saturday, against the Bucks of the Greek Giannis Antetokounmpo, Khris Middleton and Jrue Holiday. LeBron, against the wall At the end, in Phoenix, the host Suns were too much for the Lakers to easily beat them 115-85 and make them uncomfortable in the West, as the Laguners are down 3-2, and LeBron against the wall. True, the Lakers didn't count on Anthony Davis, the man who posted back-to-back 34-point performances to give the Los Angeles quintet a brief lead in their first-round series, but a knee injury first and then a left groin strain. they questioned it very much for Game 5 this Tuesday. However, LeBron was the best man for his team with 24 points, but his effort fell on deaf ears as the Suns took 30 cards from his team. The big man for the Suns was Devin Booker with 30 points, seven rebounds and five assists. A four-time MVP, LeBron surely had the orientation to shoulder the team, but he really was quite controlled. However, LeBron had said that “for me, he is putting our team in a position to be successful. I start with my focus, my responsibility, it trickles down to everyone else. So these shoulders are built for a reason. If it takes me to put a little more on top, so be it. I am ready for the challenge ”. The Lakers' next game will be this Thursday at their home, where the Angelenos could tie the series for the best of seven games. Nuggets subdue Blazers In Denver, with the Serbian Nikola Jokic at the helm, the Nuggets beat the Portland Trail Blazers 147-140 in two overtime times to also go ahead in the West 3-2. After a first overtime tied with 14 points each team, the Nuggets went comfortable with a 12-5 offense to clinch the win. Jokic signed a great game with an offensive waste of 38 points, 11 rebounds and 9 assists, escorted by Monte Morris, with 28 points coming off the bench, and Michael Porter Jr. with 26 cards. Two others who stood out for the Nuggets were Aaron Gordon, with 14 points and 10 balls recovered under the boards, and Austin Rivers with 18 points. The Nuggets also made 20 3-pointers (60 points) in 44 attempts, and 27 of 32 free throws, in addition to good dominance under the boards with 52 rebounds for 45 of their rivals. On the other hand, the Blazers once again had the excellent performance of their scoring star Damian Lillard, who overflowed with a whopping 55 points, in addition to 10 serves for scoring.

From the age of 40, our reserves of proteins, hormones, vitamins, minerals and trace elements suffer a significant decrease. Vitamin supplements are our companions throughout the different stages of our life. When we are young, they provide us with extra energy, vitality and nutrients that are important for our development. Then we focus more on getting vitamins and natural compounds for health. And for our more adult stage, we need a special supplement to help us keep our bones, body, memory and energy in good condition. Vitamin B12 is essential for the proper functioning of the brain and blood. As we get older, the body has more difficulty absorbing the food we eat, because our stomach acid levels decrease. This vitamin helps to fulfill this function, it is highlighted in the Better with Health portal. Calcium helps functions in our body such as muscle contraction, as well as the proper functioning of the heart and nerves. If you don't get enough calcium in your diet, the body will begin to extract it from the bones, leaving them weaker. You can find it in foods like dairy, sardines, tofu, almonds, spinach, and broccoli. Magnesium has multiple functions in the body, but its role in supporting bone health is the most important for women over 40. It works in building bones and balancing the concentration of certain hormones and vitamin D , all important in preventing bone weakening. You can find magnesium in almonds, broccoli, spinach, beans, dairy, and fortified cereals. Upon reaching 40, the joints should be protected, the supply of vitamin E should be improved, which will be the precursor of estrogens and will improve the menstrual cycle. We can achieve this by taking especially omega 3. Omega 3s also play a key role in maintaining memory and general brain function. Omega 3s can be obtained through two sources: Animals: From fish oil and krill oil. Vegetables: From plants such as flaxseed, chia seeds, hemp seeds and soybean oil, these fatty acids will also improve skin hydration. It is not always necessary, but many times it is advisable to resort to an extra supply of vitamin D. We can obtain it with foods enriched with it, as well as with supplements, which in addition to preserving the calcium content in the bones, will help to improve the mood and avoid depression, something that many women suffer after reaching 40 years, due to fatigue or stress from overwork and responsibilities. Vitamin D is easily obtained by exposure to sunlight and by consuming eggs and milk. This vitamin is essential for the absorption of calcium in the body, so it also has an important role for the development of the skeleton.

Joe Biden confirmed that the US will donate 80 million vaccines abroad, 75% via Covax. The president of the United States, Joe Biden, confirmed this Thursday the announced donation of 80 million anticovid vaccines to be distributed globally, 75% of which will be distributed by the Covax program in regions such as Latin America. There are 6 million doses for Central and South America, according to the statement. Ecuador is one of the countries that are considered in this donation, as are the majority of Latin Americans, among which are Argentina, Brazil, Colombia, Costa Rica, Peru, Paraguay, Bolivia, Guatemala, El Salvador, Honduras, Panama, Haiti , Dominican Republic and Caricom countries. Also, 7 million vaccines will go to Asia, 5 million to Africa. “We share these doses, not to obtain favors or to obtain concessions. We share these vaccines to save lives and lead the world to end the pandemic with the power of our example and our values, ”Biden said in a statement. The White House reported that for the doses to be distributed through the Covax mechanism, Washington will prioritize countries in Latin America and the Caribbean, and in South and Southeast Asia and Africa. This will be the first time that the US has shared with the rest of the world vaccines approved for internal use - those from Moderna, Pfizer and Johnson & Johnson - since it had previously announced the shipment between May and June of 60 million doses of AstraZeneca, which has yet to get the go-ahead from US regulators.

Strategy would allow them to understand each other better. New research has found that monkeys will use another species' "accent" when entering their territory to help them understand each other better and potentially avoid conflict. Published in the journal Behavioral Ecology and Sociobiology, the study is the first to show asymmetric convergence of calls in primates, meaning that one species chooses to adopt the call patterns of another species to communicate. The study, co-authored by Dr. Jacob Dunn of Anglia Ruskin University (ARU), investigated the behavior of 15 groups of bald tamarins (Saguinus bicolor) and red-handed tamarins (Saguinus midas) in the Brazilian Amazon. Red-handed tamarins are critically endangered and have one of the smallest ranges of any primate in the world, largely around the city of Manaus, while red-handed tamarins are found throughout the northeastern Amazon region. The researchers found that when groups of red-handed tamarins entered shared territory with bald marmosets, the red-handed tamarins adopted the long calls used by bald marmosets. Red-handed marmosets have greater vocal flexibility and use calls more often than bald marmosets, and scientists believe they could alter their calls to avoid territorial disputes over resources. Lead author Tainara Sobroza, from the Instituto Nacional de Pesquisas da Amazonia, said: “When groups of tamarins move rapidly through the mature Amazon forest, it can sometimes be difficult to distinguish the species, but during our research we were surprised to find that they also they sound the same in the areas of the forest that coexist. “We found that only red-handed marmosets change their calls to bald marmosets, and this only happens in places where they live together. It is not known with certainty why their calls converge in this way, but possibly it is to help with identification when defending territory or competing for resources. " Co-author Dr. Jacob Dunn, associate professor of evolutionary biology at Anglia Ruskin University (ARU), said: “We have long known that when closely related species overlap in their geographic ranges, we are likely to see interesting evolutionary patterns. One example is the Galapagos finches, studied by Charles Darwin, whose beaks evolved to specialize in different foods on the islands to avoid competition. In some cases, instead of diverging to become more different from each other, some closely related species converge to display similar traits. Our study is the first to show an asymmetric convergence of calls in primates, and the call of a species becomes the ‘lingua franca’ in shared territories. "Because these tamarin species depend on similar resources, changing their 'accents' in this way is likely to help these small primates identify with each other more easily in dense forests and potentially avoid conflict."

EuroNCAP, as we mentioned a few weeks ago, has started 2021 calmly. That does not imply that it is not 100% committed to the safety of the new models that are coming to market. Now come back with a new round of tests that you will surely like. Especially because it has tried two models of a new brand that is not yet for sale in our country or continent. The third, in discord, if he is known. We refer to Genesis, Hyundai's premium firm. As we already told you some time ago, this new brand will land in Europe once summer comes into our lives. For this, it will have the invaluable help of two of its best-selling models in the American continent. We are referring to the G80 saloon and the GV80 all-rounder. The third model that has gone through this round of testing is the new generation of Citroën C4. Surprised? EuroNCAP gives 5 stars to the Genesis and 4 to the Citroën C4 As you can imagine, the three models that have faced these EuroNCAP tests have passed them with flying colors. Some better than others, but with a score more than enough to keep up with what the market demands. And you wonder how the Genesis models have behaved? Well, the G80 and GV80 have deserved the highest note, with five stars each. In this way they demonstrate their premium character. For its part, the Citroën C4 has left a bittersweet taste in the mouth. Yes, because the French model has everything to succeed and, at the last moment, fails. The commercial policy of including the minimum active safety equipment, depending on the versions, has penalized it. In addition, EuroNCAP has not been able to count on a second unit, with this endowment, to contrast the result. In this way you have to settle for 4 stars. However, if you want to take a look at the test results, here is a summary table that explains them perfectly. Hopefully Citroën will improve the score of the new C4 by including more active safety equipment as standard in the near future.
