Tenerife disappeared from the game in the last quarter (30-7). Urbas Fuenlabrada flies towards salvation after achieving its second victory in just 48 hours, beating a Lenovo Tenerife this Sunday, which it defeated 98-65 with a coral basketball, dominating the rebound and hitting the triple to get closer to permanence. The courage of the soul, the relief of a team comforted by its victory in the crucial derby on Friday against Movistar Estudiantes (86-87), brought out the best of a Fuenlabrada that added its eleventh victory and is four above the decline. Key to the victory were the Congolese Christian Eyenga (15 points and 3 rebounds), the Nigerian Obi Emegano (18, 4 and 5 assists) and the American Kyle Alexander (17 and 4) in a choral duel in which all scored, including the teenager Bassala Bagayoko (2), again with minutes after breaking the precocity record a week ago with 14 years and 7 months. The Madrid triumph, despite its four casualties -Osas Ehigiator, Estonian Siim-Sander Vene, Marc García and Álex Urtasun- reduces the income of Lenovo Tenerife, which still has 26 wins, four over TD Systems Baskonia, although the Vitorians they have three games less. In the Lagunero team, the flashes of the Brazilian Marcelinho Huertas (12 points and 4 assists) and the American Spencer Buterfield (12) were not enough to take victory in their last game before going to the Final to Eight of the Champions League that It will start on Wednesday in Nizhny Novgorod (Russia). The Fuenlabreños were sweet after beating Estudiantes and came out wanting more: change defense over Georgian Giorgi Shermadini, a voracious start to steal and rebound, and three triples out of four gave them a quick advantage (19-6, min . 4), which forced Txus Vidorreta to renew the quintet, without much success because the locals continued to dominate: 7-2 the rebound and 28-18 at the end of the quarter. They went for more than those of Raventós, with the teenager Bassala Bagayoko on the court and an Eyenga on a roll that unleashed two triples and a mate (42-23, min. 16). Huertas entered the scene distributing game for a 2-10 visitor that shortened the Fuenlabran frenzy: 44-33 at halftime. Lenovo Tenerife returned eager to finish the job, with the speed of Bruno Fitipaldo at the controls and Butterfield's wrist, but the 'Fuenla' resisted (54-44, min. 25). Huertas and Shermadini joined the work, but Emegano appeared to chain six points that were pure oxygen for a Fuenlabrada that reached the last quarter while conserving ten income (68-58). Those in green began to see themselves winning a game that could put them one step away from salvation, and they recovered their aggressiveness in defense to put a 6-0 start (74-58, min. 33). Vidorreta stopped him, but the locals went to two dozen after a 2 + 1 by Jovan Novak and a mate by Kyle Alexander (82-62, min. 36). It was practically the sentence for a match that ended in 'showtime' with robberies, dunks and moments for the enjoyment of a Fuenlabran team that with its eleventh victory sees its continuity in the Endesa League increasingly clear, while Lenovo Tenerife already puts the mind 100% in the challenge of the 'Final to Eight' of Russia. Data sheet: 98 - Urbas Fuenlabrada (28 + 16 + 24 + 30): Samar (4), Meindl (9), Eyenga (15), Cheatham (10), Alexander (17) -initial quintet-, Novak (6), Diallo ( 7), Emegano (18), Trimble (8), Bagayoko (2) and González (2). 65 - Lenovo Tenerife (18 + 15 + 25 + 7): Huertas (12), Salin (6), Doornekamp, Cavanaugh (3), Shermadini (7) -the starting five-, Sulejmanovic (6), Guerra (10), Fitipaldo (5), Yusta (4), Butterfield (12) and Rodríguez.

Incidents: match of the thirty-fifth day of the Endesa League, played at the Fernando Martín de Fuenlabrada Pavilion (Madrid), behind closed doors due to health measures against the coronavirus pandemic.

It is a useful source of carbohydrates that adds nutritional diversity, occupies an important place in the preparation of traditional foods. Honey is the result of a process carried out by bees, which use as raw material the nectar obtained from flowers, secretions from living parts of plants or excretions of plant sucking insects (aphids), which mix it with other minor items and process. During the collection of pollen and nectar from flowers, bees contribute to the pollination of commercial crops, improving production cycles and wild flowers: in this way they favor environmental biodiversity. According to the website Ecocolmena, Social Innovation in Beekeeping, honey is one that has not been heated above 43 degrees or subjected to any process, unlike industrial honey, which is pasteurized. In it we can find calcium, copper, iron, magnesium, manganese, zinc, phosphorus and potassium. Also, amino acids; organic acids; vitamins B, C, D, E; and antioxidants. The nutrition and dietician specialist Sthefania Esparza Rendón details some of its benefits: It provides us with antioxidants: polyphenols that help us attack free radicals that accelerate the degeneration of cells. It has antimicrobial and antifungal properties: it contains hydrogen peroxide, which has antiseptic properties; but it is certainly a home remedy, as it does not provide a cure for a serious infection. Helps heal wounds: as long as it is a sterile honey and not bought in the supermarket. Helps a sore throat and home treatment of the common flu virus. Effective for gastrointestinal problems: it is an aid in the treatment of Helicobacter pylori and is prebiotic, which means that it serves as a food substrate for the good bacteria that live in the intestine. Caution in babies However, this beneficial food can be counterproductive for patients with fatty liver, patients with irritable bowel syndrome; It is also not recommended for people with fructose intolerance or children under 1 year of age, since it may have a bacterium, known as Clostridium botulinum, which can cause serious neurological symptoms. The expert adds that it is better that honey is not consumed by diabetic, hypertensive patients, with high cholesterol and triglycerides.

Doctors believe that a small number of people may simply have forgotten that they need a second dose. 8% of the US po[CENSORED]tion has not had the second dose, according to a New York Times report. While 8% of Americans do not return for a second inoculation, 92% of Americans do. Dr. Angela Rasmussen, a virologist with the Vaccines and Infectious Diseases Organization (VIDO), believes that “the data [from the Centers for Disease Control (CDC)] was quite encouraging. While 8% are still millions of people, this also means that the vast majority of people get back on their second dose, which is really good, compared to many other vaccines, "she told DW. Why do people skip the second dose? According to Rasmussen, "there are some people who may have read that a single dose is sufficient", which is a false sense of security. Another reason could be post-vaccination symptoms. "Some people may have had unpleasant side effects related to the first dose and decided for themselves that they didn't want to experience that again with the second," she said. Also, a small number of people may have simply forgotten that they need a second dose. “I think their health care specialists have advised other people not to get a second injection, depending on whether they had an allergy or a history of a reaction to a vaccine. Probably very few cases, but I think that some people, for medical reasons, will have been advised not to inoculate with the second dose, "said Rasmussen. Demographic and socioeconomic factors can also play a role. Likewise, according to Dr. Lisa Cooper, director of the Johns Hopkins Center for Health Equity, African-Americans particularly face structural barriers to accessing even the first dose of the coronavirus vaccine. Meanwhile, US President Joe Biden has urged employers to grant paid leave for vaccination and in return offered tax credits to small and medium-sized businesses to cover those costs. Is a single dose enough? Experts have explained that, to have better long-term protection against COVID-19, two doses are necessary. Two recent studies from the UK Office for National Statistics and the University of Oxford showed that people experienced a strong antibody response after receiving either vaccine. One of the studies found a 72% reduction in symptomatic infections after a dose of Biontech / Pfizer or AstraZeneca. However, after two doses of BioNTech / Pfizer, there was a 90% reduction in symptomatic infections. Astrazeneca has no data yet. Koen Pouwels, study author and researcher at the Nuffield Department of Health at the University of Oxford, says that receiving a second dose of vaccine leads to longer protection, as well as better protection against COVID-19. “If he looks at the antibody responses, the decline will be relatively rapid. The second dose is very protective and raises antibody levels a lot, especially in older people, ”he told DW. "It is very important to get that second dose," he assured. Is a single dose of vaccine enough for those who have already had COVID-19? A US study, conducted by the health care organization Cedars Sinai with more than 260 participants, showed that a “single dose of BioNTech / Pfizer vaccine for people who previously had COVID-19 generates an immune response similar to that of of people receiving both doses ”. “Many people have had COVID-19, and the availability of the vaccine is still limited in most regions. Therefore, giving a single dose to people, who have overcome COVID-19, could significantly accelerate the number of individuals protected by immunization and help reach community levels that stop the spread of the virus, "he told DW by email Jonathan Braun, Professor of Medicine at the F. Widjaja Foundation's Immunobiology Research Institute, Cedars-Sinai, and a co-author of the study.

Having a pet helps counteract feelings of isolation and experience less anxiety and stress, especially in difficult situations such as those experienced in times of pandemic. Many people who seek the company of a dog feel lonely for some reason and trust that this affectionate and playful pet can improve their mood. For the scientist Frank Nestmann this is by no means a far-fetched idea. "There is no doubt that people who have pets are less lonely," said the specialist, who is part of a group of researchers at the Technical University of Dresden, in Germany, that studies the relationship between animals and humans . Pets structure everyday life. According to Nestmann, these are good company and bring joy. "But, above all, they structure daily life, because the animal must be fed and cared for." "In this way, the person feels useful and that, in turn, increases their own self-esteem," said Nestmann. Also for Annette Rost, from the Berlin Animal Protection Association, it is very enriching that a lonely person lives with a domestic animal. This idea now comes up very frequently during the coronavirus pandemic. Rost revealed that a large number of shelters, especially smaller ones, put up many animals for adoption at the start of the coronavirus pandemic. Demand increased in times of pandemic One of the animal shelters that has been in great demand is located in the town of Fulda Hünfeld, in the center of the country. "The demand for cats has increased above all," explained its director, Eva-Maria Stollberg. According to Petra Karolewicz, a feline expert, this is because many people think that cats are easier to raise than dogs. "But this is not true, especially if a cat is kept exclusively inside an apartment," said the expert from the consulting firm Catissimio in the city of Hamburg. Your pet needs more than food, water, and regular vet visits. "Owners must meet the animal's needs for exercise, play and adventure," Karolewicz stressed. Otherwise, he adds, behavioral problems, illnesses, or even depression can arise. Rost agrees with this statement. The pet owner also has to consider veterinary costs and who will be in charge of changing the cat litter for older people. The bonding hormone Although Nestmann is reluctant to compare the bond between humans and animals with the relationship between people, he believes that there is a similar phenomenon to the bond between mother and child: a bonding hormone is also released when a person cares for an animal. In addition, the act of stroking and entertaining an animal is beneficial to health, for example, in the case of an older adult who has no other possibilities of experiencing the closeness and affection of another person. But does this replace the closeness of another human being? “Yes and no!”, Responds Karolewicz. "Surely there are people who feel that. As long as that person and the animal feel comfortable this way, that's fine, ”he stressed. Don't treat animals like humans Rost, however, stressed that it is important to respect the needs of the animal. It must be treated like an animal and not like a human being. “After all, a cat is still a cat and a dog is still a dog. And it would be sad if someone had their pet as their only social contact, "she added. However, the animal shelter adds that just a pet can promote interpersonal communication. When you walk with the dog, you come into contact with other people much faster than when you walk alone.

The first SUV with the letter N has just arrived in Hyundai's range. The small 4.2 meter long Kona N 2021 arrives to compete for example with the Ford Puma ST and the Volkswagen T-Roc R. Although with the display of power that it carries under the hood, it cannot be said that it will be a fair fight with the first. This will be the fourth model to receive the high-performance version, after the i30, Veloster and i20. Although Hyundai's commitment in this regard is not going to be limited precisely to a few vehicles. According to those responsible, the number of cars with the logo N or N-Line will rise to 18 before the end of 2022. However, it is a somewhat ambiguous way of announcing it, since there is a huge difference between both versions, in everything that it is not about design. More 'N' than expected What's more, despite its small size, which places it rather in the B-SUV segment, the Kona N has more in common with the i30 N (Seg. C) than the new i20 N (Seg. B). Since, as it has been presented by the Korean brand, it has more features dedicated to improving its performance and driving sensations. Even one designed to improve your performance on the track. Among them, the first that we have mentioned is its great power that separates it a lot from the small i20. It is equipped with a 2.0-liter four-cylinder turbocharged gasoline engine with 280 hp and 392 Nm. Figures that are closer to the 300 hp that carries, for example, the T-Roc R. Systems to improve the sportiness of the Kona N Like the rest of the N models, this energy is transmitted to the ground only with the front wheels (not like the Volkswagen Rs). But in this case, only with an eight-speed dual-clutch automatic gearbox, called N DCT, which according to the dossier allows better acceleration and faster upshifts ”. The behavior of this gearbox, together with the response of the engine, are modified thanks to the different systems to improve its sportiness. The first is the N Power Shift, which automatically kicks in if the accelerator is pressed beyond 90% of its travel. Thanks to it, torque losses are reduced when shifting to higher gears. In such a way that it improves acceleration and achieves a smoother speed increase than the typical steps. Designed for road and track The next system is the N Grin Shift, which releases all the power from the engine for a maximum of 20 seconds and automatically shifts to the most suitable gear to get the most out of it. The downside is that it can only be used every 40 seconds, or what is the same, once every minute. So it is designed mainly for the circuit or for fast overtaking on the road. The last of the sports systems is designed exclusively for the track: the N Track Sense Shift. Analyze the driver's driving to optimize gear changes for faster lap times. The performance of the Hyundai Kona N On paper, the Hyundai Kona N is capable of accelerating from 0 to 100 km / h in 5.5 seconds, provided Launch Control is used. This means improved traction management so that the front wheels do not skid on the asphalt. Its maximum speed is 240 km / h. One of the features that allow for this acceleration is Pirelli's custom-made P Zero tires. High-performance vehicle wheels that increase grip. These include 19-inch light alloy wheels that reduce the profile of the tire to minimize deformation and improve cornering grip. In addition to this, there are also more effective front and rear brakes and reinforcements in the body to reduce its deformation in curved doors. Something that we already saw for example in the i30 N and that can be seen in the trunk. Its dynamic capabilities are also significantly enhanced by an electronically controlled limited slip differential, called the N Corner Carving Differential. With it, faster cornering is achieved by reducing understeer and wheel slip. Like its high-performance siblings, the 2021 Hyundai Kona N has electrically tuned power steering for precision and driver feel. In addition to an electronically adjustable suspension it stiffens or softens depending on the riding mode or selected preferences. Equipment of the Hyundai Kona N Visually, the Kona N has an aerodynamic kit adapted for the high speeds it reaches. Also wider wheels and an exhaust with variable exhaust valves. Regarding the non-functional design, it has specific bumpers and wheels, N details in the interior and its own color called Sonic Blue for the bodywork. The infotainment screen is larger at 10 inches from corner to corner. Showing lap times, circuit maps and other performance information. The instrumentation is also digital with an aspect that varies depending on the selected mode, being noticed especially in Mode N and in Sport.

Karim Benzema doesn't need to convince anyone at this point. The Frenchman, at the peak of his career, is the great culprit that Real Madrid remains alive in the semis of the Champions League. He scored at the precise moment, when Chelsea was an irrepressible hurricane. His goal restored balance in the duel, pure European Cup. In the final draw, the referee, Makkelie, had nothing to do with it, who was impeccable despite widespread fears. Excellent news for everyone. Real Madrid is a team made for the Champions League, it is indisputable. Only a club with an idyllic relationship with this tournament can survive the perfect storm for half an hour. As if he sensed that a door would open for him in the tie, as it ended up happening. Despite protecting themselves with three centrals and looking for the offensive projection by bands of Carvajal and Marcelo, the white team did not have the ball or presence because of Chelsea, far superior. Also with three centrals, Tuchel's team prevailed where it was least suspected, the center of the field, clinging to the verticality and power of Kanté and the distinction of Mason Mount. Pulisic began warning, between the centrals, and then Werner forgave a resounding goal. He was saved by Courtois, who became great in a point-blank shot. He was winning Chelsea in all facets, waiting and going against or in positional attack. They did not need to elaborate, it was enough to move the ball with speed. As in the first attack, a long, exquisite ball from Rüdiger between Varane and Nacho was enough to prepare the 0-1. He controlled Pulisic, hedged to the left, dodged Courtois and scored with mettle. Karim's prodigy However, the worst thing was not the goal, but the overwhelming feeling of the London team. It is not the Chelsea of Di Matteo, a defensive rock who lived off the finishing talent of Drogba. This is a more leading team, and with much less goal than that. He forgave situations of superiority to the counter. A sin against a team like Real Madrid, capable of surviving a tsunami. It was enough with the minutes of glory of Benzema, leader in the worst moment. He patiently led the first serious attack, outlined left-handed and made a shot to the post. Shortly after, in a corner, Casemiro and Militao prevailed from above to take the ball into the area, Karim controlled with his head and volleyed violently into the net. Tie. Seeing is believing. The draw lowered Chelsea's expectations. Despite Kanté's dominance in the wide area, the sides were held further back. Vinicius contributed to this, facing Azpilicueta again and again. Werner had a counterattack in superiority that crashed into the net on the outside. The break was good for Zidane to clarify some concepts because, without changing parts, Madrid improved performance. Casemiro anchored back and Kroos and Modric appeared. Without exaggeration, either. At least the Croatian suffered less than in the first act. Like all his team. To the surprise of the staff, Zidane made the first change and the substitute was not Marcelo. The captain yesterday did not find the place with the ball or without it, especially on the cons. Hazard came in, as part of filming for the London finale. Tuchel's reply was to renew the attack in full: outside Werner and Pulisic, inside Ziyech and Havertz. 200 kilos in a couple of changes. Chelsea regained presence in the opposite field, but it was Kanté who was scary, a marvel. The game was closed, as if both were accepting the first round. Madrid pressed at the end abusing the aerial game, where Chelsea showed a surprising weakness. He was able to achieve the carom Varane, after playing Chilwell. It wouldn't have been fair. The blues leave Di Stéfano with an advantage, but Madrid knows every corner of the Champions League. Beware the.

With more people staying indoors during the pandemic, some may have been deprived of vitamin D. The human body produces vitamin D after its skin is exposed to sunlight, but due to restrictions dictated by the coronavirus pandemic, several people have spent much more time in their homes than in previous years, and would not receive enough light in this moment. With more people staying indoors during the pandemic, some may have been deprived of vitamin D. Vitamin D is important for healthy bones, teeth, and muscles. Its lack can lead to a bone deformity disease called rickets in children and a similar condition of weak bones called osteomalacia in adults. There are also studies that suggest that vitamin D boosts the immune system and helps fight infection. The recommended daily intake of vitamin D is between 600 and 800 IU (International Unit, unit of measure of substances), according to the National Institute of Health of the United States (NIH, for its acronym in English). Although this vitamin is produced in our body when we are exposed to the sun, it can also be obtained through food. Here is a list of foods that are high in vitamin D. Salmon The health benefits of this po[CENSORED]r fish are plentiful, from supporting a healthy immune system to reducing the risk of chronic diseases like heart disease and cognitive decline. Three ounces of cooked sockeye salmon contain 570 IU of vitamin D. Sardines This fish is rich in heart-healthy omega-3 fatty acids. Not only do two canned sardines contain 46 IU of vitamin D, but they are also a great source of calcium, which together can support bone health. Sardines are also rich in vitamin B12. You can enjoy them straight out of the can, add them to a salad, or grill them if you have fresh sardines. Mushrooms Not only are mushrooms packed with flavor and antioxidants, they are one of the few vegan sources of vitamin D. A 1/2 cup serving of sliced white mushrooms contains 366 IU of vitamin D. Eggs Eggs are a great addition to any meal of the day and are packed with essential nutrients. Egg yolk contains vitamin D, so opt for whole omelettes rather than just egg whites. A large egg has 44 IU of vitamin D. Liver The liver is packed with nutrients. A standard three-ounce serving of braised beef liver includes 42 IU of vitamin D. Liver is used in many dishes, such as a steak or casserole.

India breaks records of infections every day and is the third with the most deaths in the world. This Monday the World Health Organization (WHO) announced that it has mobilized aid to India, where the pandemic has recorded record numbers of more than 350,000 daily cases, a situation that it describes as "heartbreaking." "WHO is doing everything in its power there, mobilizing equipment and sending aid including oxygen cylinders, prefabricated mobile hospitals and laboratory supplies," said WHO Director General Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus. The Ethiopian expert indicated that the WHO has relocated 2,600 members of its staff to the country to support the response of the Indian health authorities on the ground. Tedros added that, "globally, the pandemic continues to intensify, with cases rising for the ninth consecutive week and deaths for the sixth." "There have been as many cases globally in the past week as in the first five months of the pandemic," exemplified the head of the WHO, who clarified that in some regions of the world (including America and Europe) weekly cases are decreasing slightly . According to the WHO, global cases of COVID-19 since the beginning of the pandemic amount to 146 million, of which 3.1 million died, while national health networks indicate that more than one billion have already been distributed on the planet of doses of anticovid vaccines.

Has it happened to you that you are walking your dog, you approach another and feel how you are being pulled on the leash, barked or agitated? Many pet owners are aware of these behaviors, and now a study confirmed what many believed: dogs are jealous. A study led by the University of Auckland tested this type of behavior in 18 dogs and their owners. The results? Dogs are one of the few species in which jealous attitudes are identified, similar to those of children and their mothers. The study of this type of behavior in animals is of great relevance for scientists, since, to feel jealousy, self-knowledge is required, a mental process that has always been of interest to researchers. What was the study about? Unlike previous work, this study focused on the pet-owner relationship to recognize these patterns. According to the chief researcher, Amalia Bastos, from the University of Auckland, this made it possible to ensure that the attitudes that were seen corresponded to jealousy and not something else. "Previous studies confused jealous behavior with gambling, interest or aggression, because they never evaluated the reactions of the dogs to the owner and the social rival who were present in the same room, but did not interact," said the expert. To test it, the researchers asked the owners to care for a fake dog that played the role of rival for the pet. Despite the fact that they were on the other side of a screen that made it difficult for them to see, they were forcing the straps to get closer to their humans. Even when the fake dog was replaced by a wool-covered cylinder, the animals showed the same attitudes. In this way, it was proven that dogs feel jealous, when they see or even think that their owners are with another animal. For Amalia Bastos, this is enough evidence to demonstrate their attitudes, but there is still a lack of research associated with the relationship of cognitive processes in animals. "It is too early to say if dogs experience jealousy like we do, but it is now clear that they react to situations that induce it, even if they occur out of sight," concluded the researcher.

Although many may not know it, the Jaguar I-Pace has the honor of being the first premium electric SUV to hit the market. The problem is that the shadow of Audi, BMW and Mercedes-Benz is so long that the English cannot shake it off. No matter what they do, the multiple virtues of the I-Pace are overshadowed by others that took longer to arrive. In fact, it was just the winner of the 2019 Car of the Year award in Europe. Be that as it may, the life cycle of the Jaguar I-Pace must continue and those responsible want it not to lose its shine. To do this, from time to time they launch a special version with which to increase their appeal. The last one has just been presented and, although simple, it adds a touch of glamor to an already very well finished set. It is called Black Edition and is twinned with the Black Edition collection that the F-Type sports car has released. Jaguar I-Pace Black Edition refreshes its image with new decorative moldings If we look at the aesthetics of the Jaguar I-Pace Black Edition we see that the basic design lines do not change. Despite having been on the market for three years, it remains fresh and youthful like the first day. On this occasion, the design team has focused on introducing a series of ornaments and appliques finished in Gloss Black. They extend across the front grille, mirror caps, window frames, and front and rear logos. As a complement there are 20-inch alloy wheels finished in Gloss Black. For its part, the color palette remains as in the other versions of the range. Inside there are also changes. Highlights are sporty seats dressed in Ebony leather to match the headliner. The panoramic sunroof occupies the entire upper part, bringing an extra touch of light to the cabin. Where there will be no change is in the Jaguar I-Pace Black Edition powertrain. It will maintain the configuration that we already know, that is, two permanent magnet synchronous electric motors. Thanks to them, it can offer a combined power of 294 kW (400 hp) and all-wheel drive 4WD. The 90 kWh energy capacity lithium-ion battery remains unchanged, with an average WLTP range of 470 kilometers. For now we do not know if it will reach the Spanish market, but in the British market it can already be ordered. It remains to be seen if it serves as an incentive for customers to notice him and not his Bavarian rivals.

The coach congratulates himself on the return to the triumph of his players but is not carried away by the euphoria: "Going to Europe is very difficult, even winning everything is not enough for us". Marcelino once again celebrates a victory, which is something that has been denied him since his team beat Granada on March 7. "The Cup finals conditioned us excessively, in the way of thinking and acting. I think that just like the fans we fixed everything there and after the Super Cup it seemed that everything was headed for the finals ... and we forgot Winning, which was the best way to win. There is no doubt that by losing the two finals these players had a very bad time. How we lost to Real left us very touched, but little by little we are rebuilding ourselves. I also say that in many games in Those of us who have tied before winning the leader deserve to win. The footballers deserve it and receive an award for their daily work. Now we have to continue and the challenge is to maintain a high competitive level, "he said. The commitment to Villalibre-Sancet in attack: "It leaves me satisfied with both, supported by a very good team game with good circulation and presence with the ball. Sancet played his best game since we were here. Along with the work of the rest of the team, the contribution both were very satisfactory. " "Sancet played his best game since we've been here" The mourning for the lost finals: "The mourning will take time to go away. If the fans see responsibility and work they will feel satisfied. And that's what we have to do. These players work very well on a day-to-day basis, they are responsible , noble and obedient. They are very responsible with their work. I am proud of them and very satisfied by them " "Capa's injury does not look good, but we have to wait" Capa's injury: "It doesn't look good. We'll see it with an MRI or whatever the doctors decide. Hopefully he'll be with us as soon as he can because this very good game has been the most damaging. The fight for the League and the favorites: "Everything is very even. Now Sevilla is in, they are going to play a Barça-Atlético. Maybe whoever wins that game can be champion, although Real Madrid and Sevilla are very close. Atlético is proving that he can be champion and there is also Sevilla. That everything is so even benefits our League. " "That everything is so even benefits our League" The fight to be seventh and reach Europe: "It is very difficult. We would have to win everything and even then it may not reach us. Now we have to keep adding and the objective is to get two consecutive victories for the first time."

To maintain the diversity of your intestinal inhabitants and support them in their tasks, the researchers recommend an equally varied diet. The defense system and the metabolism of a person are influenced by the bacteria of your intestinal flora, so paying attention to the microbiota is necessary for a comprehensive health. Nutrition is an important factor in the balance of intestinal bacteria; with balanced and healthy diets it is possible to recover the intestinal flora, according to the specialized portal Biomes World. Therefore, the intestinal flora and its function depend on the eating style, which is why the researchers recommend consuming the following foods. Complex carbohydrates from whole grain products and fruits Fiber like whole grain pasta High-quality fats and proteins from flax seeds, walnuts, soybeans, sunflower oil and fish Opt for foods little processed and cooked as lightly as possible Fermented vegetables Polyphenols from tea, blueberries, grapes, tomato, cherries, kiwi, cocoa and legumes Liquids Cut down on alcohol Probiotics such as fresh sauerkraut, kefir (a dairy product similar to liquid yogurt), or miso With regard to probiotics in the body, Dr. Gregory Celis, a doctor at Bagó laboratories explains that these microorganisms help the immune system, strengthening the respiratory and digestive systems. In addition, on the benefits of him he points out: They lower the risk of colds and viral illnesses. It boosts the body's immune defenses and reduces the discomfort that respiratory diseases can cause. Also, probiotics can recognize and attack other invaders such as bacteria or parasites. However, it warns about its adequate consumption and recommends ingesting them for scheduled periods; that is to say, it is not necessary to consume them daily. The scheme that Celis proposes is for 10 days in a row for four weeks, for a period of 3 months and then rest for 6 months. What Foods Have Probiotics? Raw cheese Kombucha Plain yogurt Olives and pickles Remember that probiotics have fixed doses determined by the WHO, so the person should be guided by the instructions for these supplements. In addition to food, it is recommended to carry out exercise routines to avoid stress and not damage the intestinal flora.

With this new batch, there are already 420,000 doses sent through the international initiative. This Saturday afternoon, Ecuador received 336,000 doses of the AstraZeneca vaccine through the Covax Facility initiative led by the World Health Organization (WHO). In recent days, the deputy director of the Pan American Health Organization (PAHO), Jarbas Barbosa, had anticipated that nine countries in America, including Ecuador, would receive compensation since in the first round of shipment they had a reduced number of doses ( in March, the country received just 84,000). With this Ecuador already adds 420,000 doses of the 7'057,200 contracted in the mechanism. Upon arrival of the doses, President Lenín Moreno specified that there are already 1,944,270 vaccines that have arrived in the country between the initiative and contracts with pharmaceutical companies. The doses were received by the Vice Minister of Comprehensive Health Care, Salomón Proaño, and he was accompanied by Adrián Díaz, PAHO representative in Ecuador, and Juan Enríquez, from Unicef. “This new shipment will allow to reach more places and people with the vaccination. Now the country has close to two million doses to benefit the most vulnerable po[CENSORED]tion ”, highlighted Proaño.

Something strange happened 35 years ago, when primatologist Mike Huffman was studying a group of chimpanzees in western Tanzania. Chausiku, one of the females, left her baby with the others, climbed a tree and lay down in a nest that she had made. "It's unusual for chimps to sleep during the day," Huffman explains. But then came the extraordinary. Chausiku came down from the tree, took the infant from her, walked slowly and with difficulty, followed by the group, until she sat down in front of a bush. "His name is mjonso," Huffman was told by his research assistant Mohamedi Seifu Kalunde, a renowned Tongu expert on the local flora who was trained by his parents and grandparents in the art of herbal medicine. "It is a very powerful and important medicine for us." Indeed, what in Spanish is called bitter vernonia (Vernonia amygdalina), is used by the Tongues to treat malaria, intestinal parasites, diarrhea and an upset stomach. And many other groups in tropical Africa and Central America - who know it by various names but generally as "bitter leaf" - also use it to treat ailments such as malarial fever, schistosomiasis, amoebic dysentery and other intestinal parasites and stomach pain. Chausiku tore some branches, removed the leaves, which ingested in large quantities can be lethal, and the bark. The funny thing - besides the fact that it was not a plant that these primates normally consumed - was that he chewed the marrow but then spit out the fibers. Could it be that the chimpanzee was doing it not to feed but to feel better? In other words, he was deliberately using it as a medicine? The next day Chausiku went to sleep in his nest earlier than usual. The next day, Huffman and Kalunde noted that she continued to feel ill: she needed to rest often, moved slowly, and ate little. Suddenly, about 24 hours after ingesting the bitter sap of mjonso, everything changed. The chimpanzee ran through the forest to a swampy meadow where she devoured large quantities of figs, ginger marrow, and elephant grass. The observations Huffman and Kalunde made during those two days in November 1987 became the first documented evidence of an animal consuming a plant with medicinal properties and recovering. Had they discovered animal medicine? Deep connection While it is true that this was the first scientific evidence of self-medication in animals, Huffman emphasizes that it is not a discovery but a "rediscovery" of something that some cultures let slip into oblivion. But not all. Among the Tongues, for example, that deep connection with nature was still alive. "We know from our tradition that when animals get sick, they look for plants to improve themselves, so we use those plants to treat our ailments as well," Kalunde explained to Huffman. The episode with Chausiku was also not the first time scientists had observed what seemed like self-medication in the animal kingdom. More than a decade earlier, primatologist Richard Wrangham and his colleagues saw that chimpanzees often swallowed whole leaves without chewing, and they wondered if they did so to cure parasitic infections. They even coined the term zoopharmacognosia - from the Greek zoo ("animal"), pharmacon ("drug or medicine") and gnosy ("knowledge") - to describe behavior. But they couldn't prove that these leaves contained chemicals toxic to parasites, or that the chimpanzees were sick in the first place or that they were cured after self-medicating, so they couldn't overcome the skepticism. Aware of this, Huffman arranged for his fellow biochemists to analyze Vernonia amygdalina; They found more than a dozen new compounds with antiparasitic properties. In addition, the primatologist collected fecal samples from the Chausiku group and found that after they chewed the bitter plant, the parasite eggs in the feces decreased by up to 90% in one day. Furthermore, subsequent observations showed that they tended to chew more bitter leaf during the rainy season, when parasites were most abundant. "That was the beginning of this journey that I embarked on 35 or more years ago," during which time Huffman, a professor at Kyoto University in Japan, became a leading expert on animal self-medication. Chowsiku and its bitter leaf plant were the key to further studies, which showed that event was far from unique. In fact, we now know that this type of behavior goes far beyond that of chimpanzees. Other mammals, birds, and even insects have been seen to treat their own diseases in different ways. Strange habit Huffman himself began investigating reports from another place in Tanzania where monkeys had "the strange habit of taking rough leaves and folding them into their mouths and swallowing them." "For years I looked for a system to properly study this type of behavior", until he discovered "that they were actually expelling parasites." Because the leaves are difficult to digest, they "decrease the amount of time it takes for food to pass through the intestinal tract"; they were cleaning his system. "In exactly 6 hours, they expelled the parasites." After discussing it with colleagues, they began to investigate. Today it is known that there are 40 different species of rough leaves that 17 different po[CENSORED]tions of chimpanzees, bonobos and gorillas use to rid themselves of their parasites. And primates are not the only ones to use that technique. "Now we know that small mammals like the civet also fold and swallow leaves and expel parasites, and large ones like the brown bear and the black bear. "Also the Canadian snow geese, usually the young ones, who do it just before migrating in the winter, when they go south and have a long way to go. They clean their systems before going through this long and stressful period without being able to feed." . Not only that... "Last year there was a really interesting observation in Borneo of orangutans chewing on certain plants, but not swallowing them but grinding them with their teeth into a paste that was then rubbed for 15 to 45 minutes," he told the BBC Dr Kim Walker of the Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew, London. "What's really interesting is that it was the same plant that the local human po[CENSORED]tion used for joint pain." "There are many, many animals that use all kinds of drugs to treat their own pathogens and infections," says Jaap De Rhoda, a biologist at Emory University, Atlanta, USA. "But I was interested in understanding whether animals with brains smaller and more different from us could also use forms of medication. " And the insects turned out to be a group of animals that have developed a wide range of different medication strategies. An example is monarch butterflies, which when they are caterpillars can only eat milkweed or milkweed plants ... and these plants contain chemicals called cardenolides, which make them toxic. Butterflies are immune to these compounds that build up in their system and protect them from predators. But in addition, the milkweed species that have higher concentrations of these compounds, defend them from a deadly parasite: Ophrycocystis Electroscirrha. The question is whether, when sick, monarch butterflies specifically seek out those medicinal species of milkweed. "To our great surprise, we discovered a strong preference among infected monarchs to lay their eggs in those medicinal plants that will reduce the infection in their future offspring; those that are not infected, they choose at random." And there is another fragile, small and lazy creature who has medical knowledge. Lost knowledge "Honey bees have different ways of treating their infections," says De Rhoda. "One example is that they collect resins from trees, the sticky substance that trees produce as a defense. "Bees mix it with their wax, use it in their hives, and it's proven to reduce the growth of all kinds of pathogens." Not only does it serve as a defense in their homes but "now they have also been shown to consume it, to reduce disease in their own body." For De Rhoda, "one of the interesting things about this is to think that medicine is a profession that can evolve over time, but that it can also be lost. And what we are seeing with bees." "The stickiness is annoying so, over the years, beekeepers inadvertently eliminated this drug by selecting bees that used less resin." "Now we should rethink things and let the bees collect their own medicines that they have been using for millions of years, because that can really benefit the colonies and therefore the beekeepers."

The year 2020 has been one of the hardest of all we can remember. The crisis caused by the Coronavirus almost collapsed society and the world economy. The automobile sector has been one of the most affected, as the strict house confinements have prevented us from leading a normal life. However, if there is something that defines the human species, it is its ability to overcome misfortunes and this occasion was not going to be special. Taking these precedents into account, we were looking forward to the list of winners of the World Car Awards 2021 to be made public. A few weeks ago we presented you with the list of finalists who would compete in the different categories that make up these awards. Among all, the Wolrd Car of the Year is the most coveted as it provides a "plus" of exclusivity compared to the rest of the categories. Well, there is already a winner and he is German ... And the rest of the winners of the World Car Awards 2021 are the following ... The winner of the Wolrd Car of the Year 2021 award was the Volkswagen ID. 4. The all-rounder of the Bavarian firm has captivated the more than 90 members of the jury and follows in the wake of other models of the brand. Among the reasons that have made it the winner of this distinction is respect for the environment due to the absence of emissions or the technical advances of its electrical system. In addition, active driving aids or the ID Light assistant.

Not only because it is one of the most important automotive awards in the world, but because the jury also recognized a great idea and a great team. The first Volkswagen ID model for key markets in Europe, China and the US takes our electric offensive around the world. A compelling car, a great idea, and the world car of the year award? That suits us well together! " The rest of the categories that make up the World Car Awards also have winners. In the attached list you can check the name of the lucky ones. As a curiosity, to mention that only the ID.4 and the Honda e are powered by batteries. The Mercedes-Benz S-Class wins, once again, with the World Luxury Car award and the Land Rover Defender regains global prominence with the best design of the year. Congratulations… World Car of the Year: Volkswagen ID.4 World Luxury Car: Mercedes-Benz S-Class World Performance Car: Porsche 911 World Urban Car: Honda e World Car Design of the Year: Land Rover Defender

The Catalans tied the series (1-1) after beating the Russian team in extra time. The drama flew over the ancient Palau Blaugrana for many minutes, where Barcelona had to sweat ink to defeat Zenit in extra time (81-78). The Catalans equal the series (1-1), but will fly to Saint Petersburg with a ton of doubts on the plane. Only the heroic performance of Brandon Davies (22 + 😎 and an incredible car of free throws (37/44), almost half of their points came from 4.60, allowed them to defeat the Russians, who without the injured Gudaitis , but with Pangos (23) and Thomas (17) as bosses, they stood up to the end. Jasikevicius said in the previous one that his team had worsened since the Copa del Rey. And he is not wrong. Without a compass in attack, with Mirotic missing in action (8 points with 2/8 shots), only Davies and Higgins's wrist (15 points with 9/9 free throws) saved him from burning on a day when Pau Gasol , a starter since his debut, did not play for a minute. He did not deserve the Spanish legend, and less at his age, to suffer on the court as his team did. Because the tragedy was chewed from the initial jump. Barça perpetrated a horrifying first act. Haunted by anxiety and the great Russian defense, he only scored four baskets in play (2/8 t2 and 1/3 triples). For 13 minutes they played the tran-tran proposed by Zenit, pure chloroform by Xavi Pascual. Pangos, less lucid this time, Thomas and Black set the slow but sure pace of the Russians (15-21, min 13). Each attack by Barça was an ordeal. Neither fluency, nor shot, nor anything despite the eight changes of Jasikevicius. Collective madness. Davies had to appear, stubborn as he alone, to attack with everything and everyone and get his team out of the flat encephalogram with nine points that fueled his team's self-esteem with a 12-0 in four minutes (27-21, min 16 ). The pivot spurred on Barça, who began to believe and took command from defense while Smits consolidated his advantage with two triples (38-29, min 20) and many free throws, 19 until halftime (15/19), for only five of the Russians (4/5). Higgins put the maximum (41-31), but Zenit slept the game again, anesthetizing the attack of the Catalans, who only scored three baskets in play in the third quarter. Mirotic (five points until then), personified better than anyone so much nonsense. And the Russians grew with a partial of 5/15 with two triples from Hollins, one from Thomas and the percussion of Baron and Pangos (46-46, min 30). Zenit already had the game where they wanted and the triples from Pangos and Hollins confirmed their faith (53-54, min 33). Then Davies appeared again to revive his team with 10 points (61-58, min 37). Pangos missed a technique on Jasikevicius when he missed two free throws, but a 2 + 1 from Black, two free throws from Thomas and another two from Pangos tightened the rope around Barça's neck (66-66, 40 seconds from the end). Mirotic, completing an unfortunate day, forced a bad shot at 20 ', but Pangos also did not score on the horn and the game went into extra time (66-66). Zenit pushed in overtime, first by Black and Hollins (68-71, min 42) and then by Pangos (71-74, min 44). But Barça resurfaced with a miraculous triple by Hanga, the only Barça basket in an overtime in which he fired 12 free throws. In the face to cross, a robbery of the ball from Hanga to Baron 15 seconds from the end, and another to Pangos at the end decided the balance of the culé side (81-78).

It may not keep vampires away, but it does bring us closer to a more balanced and healthy diet. Garlic is a food surrounded by legends. According to stories that have circulated for centuries and until today, it is able to protect us from colds, heart disease and is also a weapon against vampires. Are all its attributes true for the benefit of health? "There is some hype," says Kristina Petersen, assistant professor in the Department of Nutritional Sciences at Texas Tech University in Lubbock. Garlic enhances the flavor of food and is a key ingredient in heart-friendly diets, such as the Mediterranean. Some consider it a vegetable, because it is edible. Others call it an herb, like any other used for flavoring or as a natural remedy. But it is also a spice, a stuffed substance, derived from a plant, used to flavor food. A clove of garlic has only 4 calories, but relatively high amounts of nutrients, such as vitamin C, vitamin B6 and manganese, reports the American Heart Association. It is also packed with sulfur-based components, which give it its tangy, strong flavor. One of the most studied components is allicin, which is produced by mincing the garlic clove. A 2020 study in the scientific journal Antioxidants showed garlic's anti-inflammatory properties. It can also help lower cholesterol, blood pressure, and blood sugar. There is a but. "Those effects are seen when someone receives very high supplemental doses of garlic powder," says Petersen. The effects of putting two cloves of garlic in a recipe are much less than that. But before she goes to find the bottle of garlic powder in her cupboard, Petersen has more to say. "I would not recommend that someone take garlic supplements," she says. "There could be situations in which it may be indicated, but it should be done in consultation with a doctor." The investigations on the abilities of garlic in the feeding in cancer do not allow to give any conclusion. Similarly, a review of studies on the effects of garlic on the common flu, done in 2014 and published in the Cochrane Library, concluded that the evidence in this area is not of sufficient quality. Instead, garlic can interact with some medicines, including blood thinners. People who take these medications are also advised to avoid garlic one week before surgery or dental procedures. Once this is cleared up, garlic in normal amounts in food can be great, says Petersen. "I think there are many ways to enjoy it," she says. "It's good in salads, but also with baked vegetables, it really brings out the flavor." It is particularly good with mushrooms and tomatoes. This type of combination can also be the greatest contribution of garlic to health. Because if vegetables and other healthy foods taste good, they can lead to people eating them more. Bad breath: the troublesome side of sulfur in garlic Garlic can be a problem for your breath, precisely because of the sulfur-based components. Researchers at Ohio State University tested various remedies to see that it could reduce the effects, which can cause someone to avoid using garlic in food altogether. Chewing mint leaves, lettuce, or apples, all raw, works best. "It is a versatile food and has its place in good eating habits," says Petersen. "And although it does not have miraculous effects on health by itself, it is part of a balanced and healthy diet."

Experts recommend that people who have suffered adverse effects after the first injection should not be given the second. Vaccine experts from the World Health Organization (WHO) decided on Thursday to collect more data on the incidence of thrombi in people who have received the AstraZeneca vaccine against COVID-19 outside of Europe. The WHO Strategic Advisory Group of Experts (SAGE) on vaccination has reformulated its precautionary recommendations on the use of the AstraZeneca vaccine, taking into account data on thrombus cases arising in Europe. "WHO continues to support the conclusion that the benefits of these vaccines outweigh the risks," the organization stressed in a statement. On April 7, the SAGE estimated that the relationship between the vaccine and thrombi was plausible but not confirmed, and stressed that the reported cases were "very rare." Its recommendations have been updated with the help of new data from ongoing vaccination programs. AstraZeneca's vaccine is used in 157 territories, according to an AFP tally. Most cases of thrombi have been reported in the United Kingdom and the European Union, while in other countries "very few" have been reported, SAGE notes. Experts recommend that people who have suffered thrombi after the first injection should not be given the second. "An estimate of risk outside Europe needs to gather more data and analysis," the experts say in their new recommendations. AstraZeneca's vaccine accounts for the majority of the doses used under the Covax device, which enables countries with fewer resources to obtain vaccines thanks to donor funding. More than 40.5 million doses of the vaccine have been shipped to 118 territories under Covax to date. "Countries should take into account their epidemiological situation, individual risks and po[CENSORED]tion level, the availability of other vaccines and other options in order to mitigate risks," says SAGE. "The benefit-risk ratio is higher in older age groups," he says, specifying that "it is currently unknown whether there is a risk of (thrombosis) with the second dose" of the vaccine.

Few animals have this characteristic, which is due to natural selection processes. Few animal species, especially mammals, have blue, lavender, or purple tongues; but there is much curiosity that this characteristic causes in scientists, since this organ is highly vascular, which causes its pink or red color and that it is blue can be a symptom of health problems in some organisms. Although it is known how the substance that causes this color on the tongue, melanin, works, it has not been possible to determine exactly its biological usefulness in the digestive organ. These are some hypotheses depending on each species. For example, the giraffe is the tallest land mammal on the planet and is a herbivore. According to biologists, its blue tongue is due to the fact that since this mammal uses it to uproot the shoots that grow in the treetops, this higher amount of melanin on its tongue protects it from dangerous ultraviolet rays and their consequences in the organisms. Due to or previous, experts consider that the blue color of its tongue, produced by the melanin present, is due to natural selection processes of this species to ensure its survival over the years. However, there is another process that could lead to a blue tongue. This is the case of the Chinese breed of dog Chow Chow, which would have the tongue and all the mouth blue or purple due to artificial selection processes carried out by humans in search of a special characteristic in said breed of dogs.
