He is the internet's favorite fish, a charmer of the deep with a face that only Mother Earth could love. Still, the blobfish, a lazy chubby relatively new to science, has bewitched humans, inventing memes, squishy toys, and emoticons inspired by it. But what do we really know about the smudge fish? Why does he look so taciturn? And what can it teach us about the conservation of species or their secret habitat? The term 'blur fish' is used to describe a number of species, as well as the broader family of fish known as Psychrolutidae. For most of us, however, the smudgefish is a particular species (Psychrolutes microporos), the first specimen of which was found by a research ship off the coast of New Zealand in 1983. Another decade passed before it was formally described and identified. And even now, there are huge gaps in our understanding of this enigmatic sea creature, despite the fact that several other samples have been found in fishing trawls. The smudge fish became famous after a specimen was photographed in 2003, and its jelly-like appearance made it a gift to internet culture. Slimy and very easy to anthropomorphize, it was named the world's ugliest animal in a survey by the Ugly Animal Preservation Society, a conservation group that argues it's not just cute creatures that deserve our protection. The specimen was nicknamed "Mr. Blobby." 1. What is a smudge fish? Before becoming famous as an internet meme, the smudge fish was a scientific curiosity. From the Psychrolutidae family, it is sometimes called a sculpin or "fat head" (for obvious reasons). Its po[CENSORED]r appearance, however, can be confusing: it only looks like an '80s dessert when brought to the surface. Blotfish species live in the deepest corners of the oceans, between 600 and 1,200 meters deep. Down there, the pressure can be up to 100 times stronger than the atmospheric one you feel right now. That is why the fish adapted to it. Its body is soft, with loose bones and little muscle. When the fish is caught in the nets and brought to the surface, decompression causes it to expand and its skin relaxes, distorting its features. And on land or on the deck of a ship, its gelatinous tissue does not support its structure, so it collapses into a mass that looks like a washed jellyfish. "The picture everyone knows is really gruesome because he's dead," says Simon Watt, the biologist, comedian, and science communicator who created the Ugly Animal Preservation Society. "In nature, they are not exactly kings or queens of beauty, but they don't seem that depressed." In the depths of the sea, a blur fish looks like a fish. They have slightly bulbous heads, pronounced black eyes, and feathery pectoral fins. Their greyish pink bodies taper towards the tail a bit like a tadpole. Blotfish are typically less than 30 cm in length and weigh less than 2 kg. 2. How does a smudge fish swim? With the least possible effort. Like many deep-sea fish, the blur does not have a swim bladder, the air sac-like organ that helps fish closest to the surface control their buoyancy. Instead they use their body fat as they are denser than the water they live in. "It's similar to how oil floats on water. Being high in fat means it makes them more buoyant," says Watt. Blotfish simply bobs on the water or seabed, staying almost still and using as little energy as possible. "Being lazy is a survival strategy, and being fat to help be lazy is a survival strategy." 3. What do they eat? Given its lethargy, the smudge fish tries to eat whatever happens in front of them. Their neutral buoyancy means that they are washed away by the water and when small crustaceans, sea snails, or other edible matter get too close, they become dinner. This stalking strategy is common among deep-sea predators. 4. Where do they live? The Psychrolutidae family is quite widespread with species found in the Atlantic, Pacific, and Indian Oceans. However, some species of puffer fish, including the nicknamed "Mr. Blobby", are found in fairly small regions. The Microporous Psychrolutes (and its very close cousin Psychrolutes marcidus) live in the waters near Australia and New Zealand, always at depths greater than 500 m. 5. What do the smudgefish hatchlings look like? There are a number of bogus images on the net, but it is unclear what the blurfish hatchlings actually look like. Little is known about their behavior because it is difficult to observe any creature when it lives in the dark depths of the ocean. This includes mating, although marine biologists suggest that, given their limited movement, the pairs could simply cling to each other. Some species of Psychrolutidae have been observed laying thousands of eggs, often on rocks that they patrol from nearby. It appears that pregnant females cluster and nest close to each other, presumably for protection. 6. Conservation of the smudge fish It is unclear if it is a threatened species, in part because it lives in an alien world so deep that we know little about it. For example, we don't know how many there are, if they have natural predators, if ocean acidification affects them, or how long they live. "With the smudge fish, it's questionable whether your species is threatened, but that applies to almost all fish," Watt says. "It is difficult to understand the territory of a fish. We know the risk posed by trawls." If this species is confined to the region around Australia and New Zealand, their numbers are unlikely to be huge. It's hard to know how much damage the po[CENSORED]tion suffers when even a single smearfish ends up in the nets, Watt says. "We know that everything that lives in the depths tends to have a long life. For example, an orange roughy, which is a fish that we see on tables all over Europe, reaches maturity around 30 years. 30 years earlier for that po[CENSORED]tion to recover. " Whether in danger or not, effective work has already been done in raising smudgefish awareness, thanks in large part to Watt's survey of the world's ugliest animals and other ongoing projects. Watt's approach to conservation has an irreverent twist, but the humor uncovers an important fact. Their website claims that invertebrates, for example, make up 79% of animal life, but are only covered in 11% of the conservation literature. Ugly animals are less likely to be investigated, much less protected. "Conservation is so depressing that we needed a groggy way to talk about it," she says. "People who know the giant panda are already on board. People who have the puffer fish as their spirit animal were not being talked to."

Kia, who has seen you and who sees you. This phrase suits one of the brands that has changed the most in recent years. The South Korean manufacturer has managed to get rid of the low cost sanbenito to be considered one of the most technological. And this transition has not been a coincidence, because if it had not been for the help of Hyundai it would never have been possible. Now, with the debut of the Kia EV6 he confirms his intentions ... Days ago we were able to show you the first official images of the Kia EV6. This crossover is the first electric model presented on the new E-GMP platform. It is twinned with Hyundai's IONIQ 5 and aims to revolutionize the market. So much so that now that we know its technical data we are convinced that it will be so. Attentive, because it has overtaken the German premiums on the right and without flashing. Now you will read it ... The Kia EV6 advertises up to 510 kilometers of autonomy or 350 kWh recharge As we have already mentioned, the Kia EV6 is created from the E-GMP platform. Thanks to it, its powertrain can be made up of one or two electric motors. In the "basic" version there is one and it is on the rear axle, making it a propulsion model. The "most complete option" will offer all-wheel drive thanks to the fact that the second electric motor sits on the front axle. The batteries are 58 kWh or 77.4 kWh and can be combined with either option. Regarding the power level, the EV6 with a 58 kWh battery and an engine offers 170 hp. The combination of two engines increases performance to 235 hp and 605 Nm of torque. For its part, the EV6 with a 77.4 kWh battery and an engine offers 229 hp. The version with two engines and 325 hp completes the range. But here the thing is not left, because the Kia EV6 will receive, later, the GT version. This combination adopts the larger battery and two motors and is capable of developing 585 hp and 740 Nm of torque. These numbers will be transformed into performance worthy of a supercar. It will accelerate from 0 to 100 kilometers per hour in 3.5 seconds and will sign 260 kilometers per hour of maximum speed. In terms of autonomy, the EV6 offers 510 kilometers according to the WLTP cycle. For charging, the 800 volt system allows speeds up to 350 kW. This means that it can go from 10 to 80 percent of the charge in about 20 minutes. Therefore, to recover 100 kilometers of autonomy, it takes about 4.5 minutes on an ultra-fast charging station. In addition, it has "Vehicle to Load" technology. EV6 Raises the Flag of Active Safety with New Features ... The onboard technology and safety in the Kia EV6 will also be of reference. The driver will be able to enjoy a renewed infotainment system with a 12-inch central touch screen. The digital instrument cluster is the same size and can be customized in various modes. In addition, the information is complemented by a new Head-Up Display with augmented reality projected on the windshield. In terms of equipment and safety possibilities, the EV6 will enjoy the latest active driving aids. Among the novelties we can mention aids such as Safe Exit Assist (SEA), Highway Driving Assist 2 (HDA 2) or Remote Smart Parking Assist (RSPA). All of them are in addition to others already known such as adaptive cruise control, active lane maintenance or emergency braking. According to statements by Ho Sung Song, President and CEO of Kia Motors ... “The EV6 is the embodiment of the new Kia. Born to inspire every journey, through bold design, progressive engineering, innovative technologies and exciting electrical performance ”[…]“ EV6 also represents the beginning of Kia's long-term commitment to sustainable mobility, accelerating the transition not only to clean transport, but also to products, materials and manufacturing" If all goes according to plan, the Kia EV6 will be produced in South Korea for the whole world. It will go on sale in select global markets from the second half of 2021. To measure its impact, online reservations were opened on March 30 and it has already registered more than 21 thousand reservations in its native country. We will have to wait a bit to know how the range for Europe will be composed, but everything indicates that it will be a success. Dont you think.

Cucumber is a vegetable that, in addition to providing vitamins and minerals, is rich in potassium, fiber and folic acid. The cucumber is a member of the Cucurbitaceae family, along with the squash and melon. It is a well-known food in the world, as it is frequently used in the preparation of various types of recipes and drinks. In addition, it has the ability to treat certain diseases and prevent health problems. According to Organic Facts magazine, this vegetable can help the elasticity and hydration of the skin. Thanks to its high fiber and water content, you will be able to reduce your size and lose weight, it stimulates hair growth and strengthens it, contains vitamin B, silicon and sulfur and is able to combat joint pain and reduce inflammation of any wound. A test-tube study published in the Journal of Young Pharmacists found that cucumber contains flavonoids and tannins, two types of antioxidants that help block the damaging effects of free radicals. Antioxidants are molecules that block oxidation, a chemical reaction often associated with an increased risk of chronic disease. Cucumbers, by providing a significant amount of antioxidants, are ideal for promoting well-being. According to a publication in the European Journal of Clinical Nutrition, cucumber is made up of approximately 96% water. For this reason, it is one of the most effective foods to promote hydration and stimulate body functions associated with the expulsion of retained fluids and water balance. Adequate hydration is essential to regulate temperature, transport nutrients and eliminate waste. There are no studies that directly link cucumber consumption with better heart health. However, it is important to note that this food contains fiber, potassium, magnesium, and antioxidants that are suitable for promoting cardiovascular health. A study in the journal Nutrients highlighted that regular consumption of some vegetables can help reduce the risk of heart disease, high blood pressure, high cholesterol and inflammation. A dehydrated organism is exposed to problems such as constipation, since the fluid balance is affected and it generates a difficulty for the passage of stool. Cucumbers, being composed of a high percentage of water, hydrate. According to information from a study in the medical journal Nutrition Reviews, a hydrated body improves stool consistency, prevents constipation, and maintains regularity. It is important to keep in mind that although these foods are rich in nutrients, they do not have miraculous properties. In order to benefit from them, they must be included in the framework of a varied and balanced diet.

The country's health minister said it 100% avoids serious cases. This Monday, the Minister of Health of Chile, Enrique Paris, said that the vaccine made by the Chinese laboratory Sinovac prevents 100% of the most serious cases of coronavirus and fights the Brazilian and British variants, after the controversy that arose this weekend for its effectiveness. "I want to convey absolute tranquility regarding this issue and tell the po[CENSORED]tion that this vaccine is being used in multiple other countries, not only in Chile, and because it is an inactive virus and has the entire protein composition of the virus, it creates a large quantity of antibodies ", assured Paris. Chile, with 19 million inhabitants, is one of the countries with the highest percentage of vaccinated po[CENSORED]tion in the world and since February it has already inoculated more than 7.3 million people with at least one dose, the vast majority of them with the vaccine. of Sinovac. In a controversial statement, the director of the Chinese Centers for Disease Control, Gao Fu, told a conference on Saturday in the southwestern city of Chengdu that Chinese drugs "do not have very high protection rates" and that the Asian giant is studying increase the doses and the interval between them. After the media uproar, the Chinese official said in an interview with the Global Times that the controversy "was a complete misunderstanding" and that "the protection rates of all vaccines in the world are sometimes high and sometimes low." "The (Sinovac) vaccine is 100% effective in preventing the patient from entering the intensive treatment unit and dying. It is 80% effective for moderate cases and up to 60% effective, according to another study, for mild cases that do not they need medical treatment, "said the Chilean minister. Chile, which has committed more than 35 million doses from different laboratories, has authorized the administration of 4 vaccines to date: Pfizer / BioNTech, Sinovac, the British one from AstraZeneca and recently the one from the Chinese laboratory CanSino. Next you come the country will publish a study on the efficacy and effectiveness of the vaccine carried out by Chilean universities together with the Ministry of Health, which will be one of the first in the world to demonstrate how the Chinese vaccine works in the real po[CENSORED]tion, beyond of clinical trials. "We continue to trust the Sinovac vaccine," the Chilean official insisted in a press conference in which he also reported that in the last 24 hours 6,372 new cases and 137 deaths were detected, bringing the total balance since March of last year It amounts to almost 1.1 million infected and 24,483 deaths. Despite the fast pace of vaccination, the country is experiencing the worst moments of the pandemic, with hospitals on the brink of collapse, more than 83% of the po[CENSORED]tion in strict home confinement and borders closed until May.

Before an asteroid forever changed the course of evolution on our planet, numerous dinosaurs lived on Earth and, according to new research, precursor animals of modern mammals, which lived in burrows that they dug in the ground. . The new study provides details about two recently identified species. The first one is a reptile named Fossiomanus sinensis; the second, a mammal called Jueconodon cheni. The remains of both animals were found in the region that is now northeastern China and date to approximately 120 million years ago. While F. sinensis was a mammal-like reptile of an extinct group called tritylodontids, J. cheni was of the order of the also extinct eutriconodonts. The latter were evolutionarily close to the common ancestor of modern day marsupials and placental mammals, Gizmodo details. Both animals, which were less than about a foot long, were burrowers, a striking feature, according to the study authors. "Each of the two represents the only known burrowing species in its own group (tritylodontids and eutriconodonts, respectively). In other words, the other members of their own group do not dig," said Jin Meng, author of the study and paleontologist at the Museum. American of Natural History in New York. Researchers do not know for sure the reason behind this behavior in the animals in question. Some of the factors that may have contributed to the underground lifestyle of F. sinensis and J. cheni are, according to Meng, hiding from dinosaurs and other predators, staying warm or cool at different times of the year, and foraging for food. The fact that both animals, which were not closely related, although they coexisted, spent much of their time in burrows suggests that this was an efficient way to survive in the prehistoric ecosystem. Another curious characteristic shared by these animals is the fact that they had elongated vertebral columns. The tritylodontid had 38 vertebrae, while the eutriconodontid had 28. For comparison, Gizmodo emphasizes, mammals typically have 26 vertebrae from neck to hip. "Animals that live in burrows tend to have more vertebrae, probably to make their bodies more flexible so they can rotate back and forth in narrow burrows," Meng said. The study authors suggest that the largest number of vertebrae in the discovered species could be attributed to genetic mutations in the early stages of embryonic development. However, due to its age, it is difficult to give a definitive answer to this genetic question. Extinct millions of years ago, F. sinensis and J. cheni highlight the great variety of fauna on our planet during the Cretaceous beyond the dinosaurs that people often remember when talking about this period. The study detailing the discovery of the two new species was published in the scientific journal Nature on April 7.

The evolution of the Volkswagen Group in the world of SUVs has been dazzling. It has gone from being one of the last manufacturers to bet on them to being one of the ones with the most members. If it hadn't been for them, their current situation would be much more complicated. Therefore, taking into account that they are sold like hotcakes and that the public has not satisfied their cravings, they will continue to launch more proposals. The Volkswagen Taigo is your last bet. To announce the Volkswagen Taigo the firm has published three sketches. However, we must give you bad news: this is not a model developed from scratch. Yes, because in May of last year we told you that Volkswagen had launched an SUV called Nivus in Mercosur. Well, in the debut ceremony they confirmed that they would sell it in Europe and that it would be manufactured in Spain. Well, the Taigo is the Europeanized evolution of the Nivus. The Volkswagen Taigo will be manufactured in Pamplona (Navarra - Spain) for all of Europe Before you scream, we will tell you that the Volkswagen Taigo will differ from its brother Nivus. At least it is what it looks like looking at the posted images. As seen from the front, the Full LED optics are slimmer and appear to be joined in the center by a thin LED strip. The hexagonal grille is sharper, rather than using the Nivusl's flatter design. For its part, the bumper has more muscular and hard lines. The rear is another area that seems to evolve. The optics of the Nivus of Brazil and Argentina seem larger, although this detail will be appreciated well when we see the final Taigo. Lastly, we must focus on the bumper. The basic format is similar, although the Taigo has a reflective strip that runs along its entire width. Already, in the lower area, a diffuser that integrates the false exhaust outlets in the corners. According to the brand itself, the new Volkswagen Taigo offers a charismatic design, a new operating concept and a multitude of assistance systems. They complete the press release announcing that for the European market it will be manufactured in the center that the consortium has in Pamplona, Spain. Finally, they confirm that its official presentation will take place at some point this summer and that it will be launched on the market at the end of 2021. We will have to be very attentive, because by size and mechanical range (at least in Mercosur) it will be positioned between the T-Cross and T-Roc. Careful…

Belgium is going through a third wave of the pandemic. The incidence of coronavirus infections continues to increase in Europe, as authorities try to accelerate the rate of vaccination, a complicated task, among other reasons due to the shortage of vaccines and the confusion about whether any of them, such as Astra Zeneca, is applied restricted to certain age groups and to which ones, an aspect on which there is no unified criterion either. Italy registered 17,567 new coronavirus infections in the last twenty-four hours, an increase in line with those of these days, and 344 deaths, the Ministry of Health reported this Saturday Regarding vaccines, 12'652,847 people have already received the injection, especially among health personnel and the elderly, but those completely immunized, with both doses, are only 3'853,704, according to official data. The media reports that a third of those over 80 have not received a dose. The objective now is to give the highest priority to these elderly people to guarantee their safety, and to accelerate the campaign, still below the half a million daily injections expected in mid-April (currently around 300,000 daily). In Belgium, which is going through a third wave of the pandemic, the cumulative incidence stands at 505.3 cases per 100,000 inhabitants in the last fourteen days, according to the Sciensano public health institute. The average number of deaths per day in the last week reached 41.1 deaths, while cases reached 3,594 per day and hospitalizations were 250.3 each day. Regarding vaccination, 1,677,523 people have received at least one dose, representing 14.6% of the po[CENSORED]tion, but only the two doses have been given to 605,395 individuals, 5.3%. In the Netherlands, more than 3 million doses have already been used to vaccinate 17 million people against COVID-19, although it is not clear how many people have already received the two injections necessary to achieve protection. So far in Greece there have been 2,114,222 vaccinations. 12.7% of the 11 million inhabitants of the country have received the first dose of the vaccine and 6.5% both. Since the pandemic began, Greece has registered 290,964 cases and 8,758 deaths from coronavirus. This Friday, according to the latest available data, Greece confirmed 2,747 new cases after the analysis of 57,370 tests, the vast majority of them rapid tests. Although this figure reduced the positivity rate, Greece again broke its record for intubated patients by reaching 790 as ICUs continue to battle weeks of saturation. While in Germany, the cumulative incidence in seven days rose to 120.6 cases per 100,000 inhabitants, compared to 110.4 yesterday and 131.4 a week ago, with 24,097 new infections in the last 24 hours, almost 6,000 more than the last Saturday. The death toll in one day rose to 246, after 120 a week ago, according to data from the Robert Koch Institute (RKI) of virology updated this morning. The president of the RKI, Lothar Wieler, pointed out that there are other factors, such as the occupation of the UCIS, updated to the day, that show the evolution of the pandemic, and in this sense he spoke of a “very, very serious” situation. Until Saturday in Germany, 4,831,522 people had received the two doses of the vaccine - 5.8% of the po[CENSORED]tion - and 112,204,176 (14.7%), at least one. France set a new daily record of vaccinations with 510,000 on Friday, announced the Minister of Health, Olivier Véran, so that there are already more than 10.5 million people who have received at least one dose, 15.7% of the po[CENSORED]tion. Regarding the epidemic situation, the most significant thing is that the tension remains at a very high level in hospitals, and in particular in the ucis, with a high volume of infections. This Friday 41,243 cases were reported, in line with what happened in the previous days (on Wednesday and Thursday together there were 84,999) and 301 deaths in hospitals (343 the day before).

A mechanism will be established to validate the behavior of each animal, regardless of its breed, to assess the danger of the dog. The behavior of each animal will weigh on its breed to avoid "unfair" prejudices. That is the essence of the new regulations that the Government is preparing and that will end the lists of potentially dangerous dogs. It is a draft law to modify Law 50/99 on potentially dangerous animals. They hope to present it in May and with it look at the individual behavior of companion animals without taking into account "the specific breed with which they were born" and thus avoid "unfair" prejudices. The standard will establish a behavior validation mechanism for each horse. In addition, it foresees that dogs that need some "particular handling" should be educated with behavior improvement techniques so that they stop being dangerous. This has been stated by the general director of Animal Rights of the Government, Sergio García Torres, in a conference organized by the Royal Spanish Canine Society (RSCE) in which he has also explained the regulatory changes that the Animal Welfare law will entail prepared by the Executive . Precisely, during the day, the Royal Canine Society of Spain has requested a new Law that universalizes canine identification, education of children and young people in values that promote respect and animal empathy, protection and promotion of autochthonous breeds and recognition of the work of ethical and responsible breeders. Homogenize 17 regulations One of the challenges faced by this draft is to standardize the 17 regional regulations to establish a common general framework and, in turn, include a 'System of Animal Protection Records' (SRPA), of which different identification systems will be part. Among them, a registry of animal welfare centers will be created, by which the professionalism of the sector will be guaranteed; that of the collection of abandoned animals or animal protection entities. Likewise, a National Registry of Canine Behavior and Education Professionals will be implemented in collaboration with the Ministries of Labor and Education, so that a training framework will be established so that professionals can join it in a regulated manner and for clients can access professionals with a "guarantee". Another of the "key pieces" of the regulation will be the obligation to identify companion animals before they can be bought and within the first three months of life so that the breeding is controlled, while a National Registry of Disqualification for the Keeping of Companion Animals, which will include all those convicted of abuse, who may not register any animal in their name. Tougher penalties for abusers The bill also plans to modify the civil code to recognize that animals are sentient beings in line with the Lisbon Treaty, as well as another modification of the Penal Code to update the penalties for crimes of animal abuse upwards since the current ones are they are "quite lax" since the maximum is 18 months. Likewise, the general director has added that they are considering a draft law for assistance dogs that includes homogeneous criteria and that equates, in particular, their access in public spaces. "The draft national law on animal protection that will be the combination of projects," defended García Torres, who insists on the need to move towards zero abandonment and zero sacrifice. Dogs now considered PPP Right now, the breeds considered potentially dangerous in Law 50/99 are: - Pit Bull Terrier - Staffordshire Bull Terrier - American Staffodshire Terrier - Rottweiler - Argentine Dogo - Fila Brasileiro - Tosa Inu - Akita Inu Likewise, those that meet all or most of these characteristics are considered hazards: - Strong musculature, powerful appearance, robust, athletic configuration, agility, vigor and endurance. - Outstanding character and great value. - Short hair. - Thoracic circumference between 60 and 80 centimeters, height at the withers between 50 and 70 centimeters and weight greater than 20 kg. - Head voluminous, cuboid, robust, with a broad and large skull and muscular and bulging cheeks. - Strong and large jaws, robust, wide and deep mouth. - Wide neck, short and muscled. - Solid, broad, large, deep chest, arched ribs and short, muscular loin. - Parallel, straight and robust forelimbs and very muscular hindlimbs, with relatively long legs at a moderate angle.

When General Motors announced that it was "digging up" Hummer, we were overjoyed. This mythical all-terrain firm was reviled by the public when the 2007 crisis crept into our lives. It is true that the consumption of its models was not measured, but with a twist to its concept it could have had a new life. Be that as it may, the electrification of the automotive sector has allowed it and here is your new model. Once the pick up body was presented in society, it was time to meet the GMC Hummer EV SUV. We were looking forward to this moment, as it was the only way to know if the GMC design team was able to maintain the essence of the early Humvees. And gentlemen, the result has been spectacular, so much so that it does not seem that much time has passed. In addition, it has everything good about its electric platform. GMC Hummer EV SUV keeps original Humvee DNA intact As expected, and teasers announced, the evolution of the GMC Hummer EV SUV is lagging behind. To re-body the cargo bath, the creative team has expanded this volume and introduced a roof reminiscent of its predecessors. In fact, we cannot ignore several charismatic design elements: the "C" pillar, the width of the wheel arch, the floating black roof, the spare wheel hanging on the tailgate or the rear window. Inside everything is still as we knew it. The design of the center console and the high number of electronic aids and assistants are at a high level. The quality of materials (at least visually) does not seem to be his strong suit, but we must not forget that he is a Yankee model for the Yankees. However, General Motors wants to distance it from its pick-up brother with equipment items that are not yet present in its range. As announced by GMC, we must mention the Enhanced Super Cruise mode, the Crabwalk system with all-wheel steering, the Extract mode and the explosive Watts To Freedom mode. From the moment of sale, Edition 1 equipment will be available, which includes 22-inch alloy wheels and other customization options as standard. In addition, optionally, the Extreme Off-Road package will also be available. In terms of technique or powertrain, the GMC Hummer EV SUV remains unchanged. Thanks to the Ultium platform from General Motors, you will have several electric motors and a performance of up to 841 hp. The batteries and the charging possibilities are also maintained, although there could be changes when configuring the range. What is clear is that it will not reach Europe, but its sale in the United States will start in early 2023.

Some guidelines to consume this food daily without regrets. Bread is eaten daily in many households. From a health point of view, there is nothing to oppose. "The low calorie craze makes people feel guilty if they eat a lot of bread," says dietitian Claudia Krüger. But they shouldn't. Of course, she clarifies: "At least half of the bread eaten per day should be whole." The guideline values of the German Nutrition Society (DGE) are between four and six slices of bread, that is, between 200 and 300 grams per day. Or between three and five slices of bread (between 150 and 250 grams) and between 50 and 60 grams of cereal flakes. To compare: a 50 gram slice of whole wheat bread provides 99 calories and four grams of fiber. To achieve the same with white bread toast, you would have to eat four slices of 30 grams each, which is equivalent to 312 calories. Whoever wants to orient themselves to these values, in addition, should not equate a slice of bread to a muffin "A whole wheat bread loaf can be equivalent to two slices of bread," explains Krüger, "because twice as much flour is often used for bread rolls ”. Is whole wheat or white bread better? Better a slice of whole wheat bread than toast. This is recommended by many nutritionists and with good reason. White bread also has its advantages, but it should not be eaten too much. Let's get to the facts: whoever eats bread made from whole wheat flour will feel satiated much sooner thanks to the many fibers. "You fill your stomach without taking in too many calories," explains nutrition and home economics expert Maike Groeneveld. Fibers can help reduce the risk of type 2 diabetes, metabolic disorders, colon cancer, and also cardiovascular disease. True whole wheat bread is made from ground whole grain cereal. But that does not mean that the inside of the bread is grainy or that the grains can be seen. The cereal can even be ground very finely. But appearance isn't everything: "Don't be fooled by color," recommends the German Nutrition Society. A darker color can also be generated by adding malt extract. "Many times the color is related to whole wheat bread, but in many cases it is due to the caramel used as a coloring." In other words, it is best to examine the container well. For real whole wheat bread, it says “whole wheat bread” on the packaging. In the list of ingredients it should first say “whole wheat flour”. In the bakery you have to pay attention to what it says in the window.

According to the WHO, the mechanism is on the right track to deliver vaccines to all countries that have requested it during the first half of the year. The World Health Organization (WHO), through its Covax program, has shipped 38 million vaccines to more than 100 countries since it began distributing doses in February, although it faces delays from its three main suppliers: AstraZeneca, Pfizer and BioNTech, and the Serum Institute of India. The WHO reported Thursday that these delays in March and April are due to manufacturers optimizing their production processes in the initial phase of launch. The case of the Serum Institute of India is particular and the inability to fulfill the promised shipments is due to the growing demand for vaccines by the Indian Government, which faces a new wave of the pandemic. Of the 102 countries where the Covax program has distributed doses, 61 are among the poorest in the world. “More than 37 million doses of our vaccine have been distributed to date and they are protecting the most vulnerable po[CENSORED]tions around the world,” commented AstraZeneca CEO Pascal Soriot, who said he was proud that his vaccine represents the great most doses that are distributed through Covax. According to the WHO, Covax is on the path to delivering vaccines to all countries that have requested it during the first half of the year. "We are proud to work with Covax and all of its partners and remain firmly committed to working toward equitable access for all to end this pandemic," stated Pfizer CEO Albert Bourla. For its part, the United States announced that it will organize an event to increase Covax funding and thus accelerate access to vaccines around the world. "Through unprecedented cooperation among donors, manufacturers, and participating countries, Covax has achieved extraordinary milestones in equitable distribution of doses to the global community in record time," said US Secretary of State Antony Blinken. On the other hand, the president of the European Commission, Ursula von der Leyen, celebrated that Covax has managed to administer vaccines in some of the most vulnerable countries in the world, such as Afghanistan or Yemen. "Team Europe has invested heavily in Covax and I urge all partners to support Covax to ensure that no one is left behind," she stated. WHO expects to distribute at least 2 billion doses of vaccines in 2021 through the Covax program.

The work that Hyundai Motor Group is doing with Genesis is very laborious. Those responsible for the South Korean builder know that creating a premium firm from scratch is very difficult. Above all, when they have to carve out in the minds of consumers an image of quality and sophistication that they lack. To do this, and although it sounds like a copy, they are following the same steps that Toyota, Honda or Nissan took in their day. Yes, because to shape Lexus, Acura and Infiniti first they looked at their German rivals and then they went to the market that could be the most favorable for them: the US. If to that you add models of great invoice and with a picturesque design, we have as a result the path that Genesis is walking. Now they are back to introduce the new Genesis X Concept, a logical and natural evolution of the Essence they showed the world a couple of years ago. The Genesis X Concept is a high-performance GT powered by electricity According to statements by SangYup Lee, Genesis Global Design Director ... “The Genesis X Concept can be described as the ultimate vision of athletic elegance, the inherent design language of Genesis” […] “The distinctive theme of Two Lines and sustainable luxury will be the blueprints of the futuristic designs and technologies of vanguard that Genesis seeks to adopt in its future models » With this in mind, it is enough to take a look at the prototype to realize that it could arrive in the series with very little changes. Among the design elements that make up its silhouette we can highlight the long and under hood or the Full LED optics. The front grille follows a three-dimensional G-Matrix pattern to underline the Genesis identity. For its part, the side view is typical of a GT, with a sharp drop from the roof line. The rear also presents a minimalist design although not lacking in style. In it, Full LED optics stand out that maintain the same format as the front ones. Three elements come together in the integration of the third volume: the muscular waist line, the stretched rear window and the integrated spoiler on the boot lid. The bumper closes the horseshoe shape that opens the hood and integrates a discreet diffuser decorated with chrome lines. Inside, the execution and quality of materials (at least visually) is at a high level. The driver is surrounded by a console that integrates a large screen to manage the infotainment system. For its part, the instrument panel is digitally configurable and the mirrors include cameras. As for its technique, they have only confirmed that it is pure electric, but have not announced its power or battery capacity. Nothing is known about its possible arrival on the market, although perhaps in the future ...

Through food, people can avoid and fight diseases. The important thing is to strengthen the immune system. A well-nourished individual is prepared to face any pathogen that enters to invade it. That is why immunonutrition is the science that provides the basis for providing adequate nutritional support to obtain a correct immune response. Food is composed of nutrients that are not only assimilable substances that allow the body to obtain energy, build and repair tissues and regulate metabolic processes, but are also capable of influencing the physiological functions of the individual such as the immune system. Today we emphasize that nutritional imbalances contribute to an increased risk of infections, so that our current nutritional status directly influences the quality of our immune system. Age, hormonal status, sedentary lifestyle, stress, consumption of tobacco, alcohol, drugs, obesity and malnutrition are key factors that we must take into account as a source of variation in our immune status. It is also important to remember that almost 70% of the immune system depends on the second “brain” of the body: the intestines, since our intestinal microbiota (families of microorganisms, which are living bacteria that have colonized our intestines mainly at the level of the colon), which in turn depends on everything we eat. They eat mainly complex carbohydrates rich in fiber and also contribute to the production of vitamins K, B12 and folic acid. On the other hand, zinc, selenium and vitamin A, C, E and D deficiencies directly affect the maintenance of the immune system, so choosing foods that are varied and rich in this set of micronutrients and prebiotic fiber - contained in foods such as radishes , garlic, onions, asparagus and vegetables— will help us maintain a state of eubiosis, which is nothing more than having a healthy intestinal microbiota, which will stimulate an effective response, especially in times of a SARS-CoV-2 pandemic. One of the main recommendations to achieve a correct nutritional state is to give the body at least three servings of fruits and two servings of vegetables a day, as well as ensuring that protein foods, whether of animal origin, are present in the main meals or vegetable, such as eggs, white or red meats (preferably organic), fish and legumes such as lupines and chickpeas. Five tips to meet immunonutrition in your body 1. Increase your intake of fruits rich in antioxidants: guava, kiwi, orange, lemon, papaya, red berries and soursop. 2. Include vegetables in your meals every day, such as red / yellow bell pepper, cabbage, spinach, asparagus, broccoli, tomato, red onion, and radishes. 3. Enhance your seasonings and enhance the flavor with natural spices such as garlic, turmeric, chives, rosemary, cinnamon, dijon mustard, and ginger. 4. Don't forget to include healthy fat sources, such as extra virgin olive oil, nuts, and seeds; consider activating them first, as in the case of almonds: consume them after soaking to take better advantage of their nutrients. They can be added to salads so that they do not forget to consume them during the day. 5. Remember to consume foods with probiotic characteristics, kefir and natural yogurt. Given the importance of nutrition in the body's immune response, it is key to take care of the diet and the way it is eaten. Start the day with a good breakfast, never skipping this meal or omitting another, since it is very common that they do not eat. Remember that every moment is key, do not miss the opportunity to fulfill yourself with immunonutrition on a daily basis. It is not advisable to self-medicate by ingesting vitamins without nutritional monitoring, as they can cause accumulation of metabolites that can later affect your kidneys. The pandemic is not over yet and we are responsible for facing it in the best way possible. Whether you have already had COVID-19 or not, your progress depends on your diet.

According to its forecasts, Latin America will grow in 2021 at a rate of 4.6%, half a point above the January forecast. The economic recovery in Latin America and the Caribbean will be "slight" compared to other regions of the world and will have "various speeds", with large differences between exporting countries and those dependent on tourism, the International Monetary Fund (IMF) stressed on Tuesday. "After a sharp decline in 2020, only a mild, multi-speed recovery is expected in Latin America and the Caribbean in 2021," the Fund noted in its new Global Economic Outlook (WEO) report. According to its forecasts, Latin America will grow in 2021 at a rate of 4.6%, half a point above the IMF forecast for January. "Much to do" in Argentina" In their analysis, the experts explain that the expected development for this year is largely due to the growth of the region's large exporting countries, such as Argentina, Brazil and Peru, which have been positively impacted by the rebound in world manufacturing in the second half of 2020. However, the Fund's chief economist, Gita Gopinath, assured that "much remains to be done" for the macroeconomic stabilization of Argentina, one of the countries that currently has a rescue program from the multilateral organization. "Argentina faces very important challenges, since inflation is very high" and "it is not very clear yet" how this indicator will evolve. For this reason, "much remains to be done in terms of macroeconomic stabilization," Gopinath said at the press conference presenting the IMF report. The reality is that foreign trade in Latin America had its worst performance in 2020 since the Great Recession (2008), collapsing 13%, but the drop was 10 points less than expected due to the rebound in demand in the main partners of the region, especially China, according to a study by the Economic Commission for Latin America and the Caribbean (ECLAC). The three major economies of Latin America, Brazil, Mexico and Argentina, will grow this year 3.7%, 5%, and 5.8%, respectively, according to the IMF. Brazil and Mexico, benefited by the US stimulus. Regarding the main economies of the region, Gopinath and the deputy director of the IMF's Research Department, Petya Koeva Brooks, argued that the Brazilian and Mexican economies will be one of the “main beneficiaries” of the fiscal stimulus package launched by President Joe Biden. In U.S.A. "Mexico will be one of the main beneficiaries of the rescue package of 1.9 trillion dollars of the Biden Administration," Gopinath said in this regard, after Brooks, also present at the press conference, affirmed the own of Brazil. Despite the positive impact of the US fiscal stimulus, Gopinath considered that Brazil's priority should be vaccination, the rate of which "should be much higher than the current one." In this regard, the IMF also warns in the report that the longer-term prospects "continue to depend on the trajectory of the pandemic." "With some exceptions - such as Chile, Costa Rica, Mexico - most of the countries have not obtained enough vaccines to cover their po[CENSORED]tions," the multilateral organization highlights in its document, which analyzes the economic outlook for the entire world. The Caribbean continues to be affected by little tourism Beyond the large economies of the region, the IMF revised down the 2021 projections for the Caribbean region, highly dependent on tourism, one of the sectors most affected by the coronavirus pandemic globally. Thus, the Fund cut its forecast for the Caribbean by 1.5 points, to 2.4%. Other Latin American countries, such as Colombia, Chile and Peru, will advance 5.1%, 6.2%, and 8.5%, respectively. On the contrary, Venezuela will suffer an economic contraction of 10%. The IMF is holding its spring meeting this week with the World Bank, again virtually due to the pandemic, in which economic leaders will discuss the main global challenges.
