A new electric thoroughbred is about to disembark, the Pursang E-Track, almost ready ... The Pursang E-Track, an aesthetically pleasing electric scrambler inspired by Flat Track bikes, is going to be one of the most interesting electric bikes of the year. And it is that in addition to being interesting in itself, the best of all is that it is manufactured in our country and all its components are national, except the engine. The founder of the brand and creator of the E-Track is Jim Palau Ribes, an engineer with extensive experience working for brands such as Mazda, PSA Peugeot Citroën, Lamborghini, Seat, Audi and GASGAS - Torrot. The Pursang E-Track can now be booked on its website The name Pursang is inspired by a mythical off road model of the disappeared brand of the rampant finger, Bultaco, as you all know, with which Jim is in love. The Pursang E-Track is a scrambler equipped with an inverted fork, rear monoshock, 18 ”spoke wheels and lobed disc brakes - 320 and 240 mm - bitten by JJuan calipers. It is powered by an 11 kW Bosch electric motor installed in the chassis, which drives it up to 120 km / h. You can take it with the A1 or B + 3 car license. It is powered by a pack of three lithium-ion batteries that are not removable - in the prototype they were removable by lifting the tail - thanks to which it has a range of about 140 km, performance close to those of a Zero FXS. All its components are of national origin except for the Bosch engine It has three power modes, Go, Cruise and Boost with 140, 115 and 80 km of autonomy, as well as a Crawl mode, which advances at a human pace. And the lighting is full LED and the instrumentation is a color TFT screen with all the necessary data, and with Bluetooth connectivity and app. It recharges completely without problems in the home socket in 6 hours. Its sale price is 12,700 euros, in line with other models on the market, but you must reserve it if you are interested ... A limited series of 60 copies is also launched, the Founder’s Edition, with carbon, gold logos and other details, at a price of 13,700 euros. Later will come the E-Street, more affordable and with a more asphalt approach.

Too much heat could affect and destroy some of the vitamins and minerals that food contains, so it is important to know the most recommended cooking methods In recent years, people's lifestyle has changed in terms of food. There is more and more overweight and difficulties to achieve a full and balanced diet. The stress, the races of the day can cause us not to pay the necessary importance to what we consume or how we prepare it, but the truth is that the quality of what we consume depends not only on what we eat but on how we cook it. Nutritionist Melania Cevo from Nutrition Consultations shares some tips to be able to lead a healthier life when choosing and preparing our food. Eat healthy and be satisfied Many times people think that eating healthy means eating things that are not filling; even more so when many professionals base their meal plans on reducing calories and prescribing completely light food. However, we must think about the nutritional quality of the products. Melania Cevo explains that, "currently there are new trends and words such as artisan, homemade, organic, healthy, or clean, have come to thicken the characteristics of healthy eating." Light is not always favorable Research has shown that people who eat "light" eat more. Likewise, it was found that, if the term “nutritious” was used instead of “healthy”, and products that met nutritional needs were recommended and not based on the amount of calories, people achieved more satiety, that is, they were full. How do we cook? Part of being more mindful includes informing ourselves of the best ways to prepare our food and which we shouldn't continue to use. "Although there are multiple ways of cooking food, many of these can not only dramatically reduce the nutritional content in them, but could even make food a product that is even harmful to health," explains Cevo. Too much heat could affect and destroy 15-20% of the vitamins and minerals in fruits and vegetables (especially vitamin C). As well as the vitamins known as hydro-soluble, they are lost in water, and the fat-soluble ones (vitamins A, D, E, K) are lost in the fats with which they are cooked. Some studies show that certain foods are rather healthier if they are consumed cooked such as potatoes, spinach, among others. These help to improve the digestion and absorption of the fibers and nutrients that the food contains. Also cooking food on the grill will not only increase the flavor of the food, but it is a type of cooking that uses little or no fat. It is recommended to use it with meat, fish, vegetables and even fruits. It is important not to let them burn in the process as it can increase the production of carcinogens. Another quick and healthy way to prepare food is baked, since it does not need fat and increases the quality of the flavor. It is ideal for meats and vegetables, since it maintains most of its minerals and fibers; In the case of vegetables, it is recommended not to cook them at high temperatures, since they could lose up to 40% of their minerals. Steaming food is also a favorite because it is simple and quick, and does not use fat. If it is steamed, a product of excellent quality can also be obtained if the cooking time is short. It can be steamed by placing a basket or strainer over boiling water and with the steam it will cook. Foods like meats, fish, fruits and vegetables, and even potatoes and sweet potatoes, or pasta are great for steaming. Learning to choose what feels good to the body, and combining it with a good method in the kitchen, will help you stay healthy and fit, accompanied by a professional guide who will help you know what food you will like and will give you what you need to have a healthier life.

The coronavirus has rocked the world, with more than 2.5 million deaths and 115 million confirmed cases Jane Corbin of the BBC Panorama program tracked the pandemic around the globe to find the best examples of strategies to combat the virus. I have been reporting on the coronavirus for the last year; Now my mission is to find out what the virus-fighting priorities have been from world leaders and health officials on four continents. The most important findings I have made are four key areas that have been most effective in containing the spread of the virus and preventing deaths. Early and effective action to control borders and monitor traveler arrivals Testing, tracking and tracing of all suspected cases of infection Social assistance for those in quarantine to contain the virus Effective leadership and consistent and timely public messages No one can claim to have done everything right. But the steps listed below show policies around the world that have proven effective. Putting them together, we have the outline for the "pandemic playbook" - a guide to managing future infectious disease outbreaks. STEP 1: preparation Stanley Park lives in Seoul, South Korea. When she went to the airport to pick up her daughter, Joo Yeon, he greeted her not with a hug but with a mask and a bottle of sanitizer gel. For Stanley, this is not his first experience with a pandemic. Remember the devastation and fear that the Mers outbreak brought to Southeast Asia in 2015. It is an experience that his country has learned from. The government carried out 48 reforms to strengthen preparedness and response to public health emergencies. And these have paid off. When the coronavirus emerged, officials were able to flatten the epidemic curve quickly, without closing deals or implementing tougher restrictions nationwide. After her arrival from Atlanta, Joo Yeon completed a two-week quarantine at her parents' home, downloaded an app that tracks her movements, and received six control calls from authorities. She took her quarantine so seriously that she "didn't even go to the garden, just in case." "From the beginning, we implemented comprehensive preventive measures to prevent the same thing from happening again - history repeats itself," said Prime Minister Chung Sye-kyun. STEP 2: test, track and trace "It's a big challenge right now, I have no idea whether the patients I see have coronavirus or not," David Hodges, a doctor from North East England, told Panorama in March 2020. "We could have hundreds of cases that have not been registered." Most East Asian countries began tracking cases in January 2020. In South Korea, hospitals like Yangji, in Seoul's Gwan-Ak district, were designated to handle covid from testing to treatment. Here, people do not even need to enter the building: they are tested at arm's length in a special, completely sealed booth. The hospital processes all of its own tests on site and the results are usually available within four to five hours. One street from the hospital, a track and trace team follows up on each suspected case. The team carries out a detailed, quasi-forensic analysis and has access to credit card and mobile phone data. He monitors cameras across the district, sending teams out into the community to scan the streets when he sees something that worries them. Prime Minister Chung Sye-kyun personally took charge of the situation before the country even had a confirmed case of covid, prioritizing the three essential factors: testing, tracking and tracing. "By applying that strategy, we have achieved a good and significant result," said Sye-kyun. The death toll in South Korea, a country of 52 million people, stands at 1,693. STEP 3: help with quarantine "Keeping people at home is the main reason we have been able to contain COVID," says Usha Kumari, a community health worker in Kerala, India. Usha is one of 30,000 accredited social health activists, known as Asha workers. Usha's role has been to ensure that everyone who needs to isolate themselves in her area does so. She does their shopping for them, collects their medicines and everything they may need, so that they do not leave home. Support for those who isolate themselves does not end there. Community kitchens have been providing up to 600 free meals each day for self-isolating people at home or in hospitals and mental health services have been offered since the start of the pandemic. Financial assistance has been provided and, in some cases, accounts receivable were temporarily frozen. Kerala Health Minister KK Shailaja learned important lessons three years ago from dealing with the deadly Nipah virus and has applied them to tackle COVID. She insists that by ensuring support for those who confine themselves, officials were able to control the spread and prevent hospitals from being overwhelmed. With a po[CENSORED]tion of 35 million people, Kerala went from having the highest number of cases in India in March 2020 to having one of the lowest COVID-19 death rates in the world. STEP 4: protect the elderly In early April, Dr. Lisa Federle began testing nursing homes in the city of Tübingen, in Germany's Baden Württemberg state, to prevent virus infections and allow visitors to enter. The mayor of the city, Boris Palmer, thought: "We have to build a special protection shield for the people who are most at risk." She had seen the impact of the virus in Italy and Spain on the older demographic. "These are the oldest people, so we need special protection for them." Palmer used his local budget to prioritize care and support for the city's elderly po[CENSORED]tion, including a subsidized taxi service, free masks delivered to homes, and special shopping hours. That meant that the city's university hospital received fewer Covid-19 patients and was not forced to cancel other medical procedures. The elderly have been one of the biggest victims of the pandemic and, especially in Europe, those who live in residences. STEP 5: a vaccination strategy More than 26 million people in the UK have received at least one dose of a coronavirus vaccine, as part of the largest inoculation program the country has ever launched. While far behind the world leader Israel, which has so far fully inoculated more than half of its po[CENSORED]tion, the UK has been extraordinarily successful with its vaccine program. The UK's success is due in large part to a tremendous planning effort. The Department of Health and Social Care began planning a mass vaccination program even before the first case of covid-19 was confirmed in the United Kingdom. In the summer, the government signed a contract for 100 million doses of the Oxford-AstraZeneca vaccine and 30 million doses of the Pfizer-BioNTech vaccine. The story is different in Europe: planning started later and implementation has been slow. Only 8% of people in Europe have received a vaccine so far, compared to 36% in the UK. UK vaccine deals were closed three months earlier than the European Union. The situation is even worse in the developing world. While almost all of Europe and the Americas have started vaccination campaigns, only a handful of African countries have. In Cape Town, South Africa, Michael Kuta is one of many people in the municipalities who volunteered to participate in a trial conducted by Dr. Linda Gail-Bekker for the Johnson & Johnson vaccine. Michael doesn't know if he got the vaccine or a placebo, but says it was worth it for him. “It is the only possibility that I have to receive the injection for the pandemic. To live, ”he says. "My family still needs me." Many poor countries depend on deliveries from Covax, a scheme run by the Alliance for Vaccines (GAVI) and the WHO, which aims to ensure everyone's access to vaccines. The UK is the largest contributor, with a donation of almost $ 700 million. South Africa has joined the initiative. However, a vaccination strategy must be an international effort. In countries where access to a vaccine is limited, the virus has the opportunity to mutate, as it has done in South Africa and Brazil, creating new variants that are more transmissible and that can spread abroad. Scientists fear that these variants may be more resistant to existing vaccines and therefore threaten countries that have had a successful vaccination rollout.

In an interview with the Director of Animal Health Yobani Gutiérrez Ravelo, he explains that as a result of the work carried out by the Temporary, intersectoral and multidisciplinary Working Group constituted in January 2020 and made up of forty-two representatives of different Organizations of the Central Administration of the State (OACE), research centers, producers, breeders and associations related to animal breeding and production, as well as the decisive and enriching participation of our people, through different means of communication with opinions, suggestions and recommendations, this 26th of February 2021, the Decree-Law of Animal Welfare was approved by the Council of State, a legal norm that supports the implementation of the Animal Welfare Policy in Cuba, approved on January 19, 2021. With the approval of the Decree-Law of Animal Welfare, a response is given to the numerous opinions, expressed in the po[CENSORED]r consultation process of the draft Constitution of the Republic of Cuba, on the need for the existence of a specific legislation on animal welfare. As background to this Decree-Law, it should be remembered that on May 22, 2018, the Policy for the Improvement of the Animal Health System in the country was approved, which included among its principles the development of the Policy and legal norm (Decree- Law) to guarantee animal welfare as an indispensable component of animal health under the global focus “One Health”. The Ordinary Official Gazette No. 11 of January 29, 2021 published the legal regulations for the implementation of the Animal Health Policy. In the international order, Cuba has been a member since 1972 of the World Organization for Animal Health and welcomes the international standards, norms, guidelines and recommendations of said Organization, which assumed the leadership of the science of animal welfare and established its regulations in the Code Terrestrial Animal Health. Since 2000, the country has been working on the development of animal welfare at the initiative of veterinary professionals, the Cuban Association of Veterinary Medicine and the Directorate of Animal Health, through the National Committee for Animal Welfare of Cuba (CONBAC) and links were established with the National Association for the Protection of Animals and Plants (Aniplant), as well as other civil society organizations recognized by the Ministry of Justice related to animals, related institutions, the media, students of different educations and the po[CENSORED]tion. usually. The Decree-Law approved today has as fundamental premises the conservation of biological diversity; the comprehensive general culture of the po[CENSORED]tion (including knowledge, ethical values, awareness and respect for animals) and the need to avoid mistreatment, abuse and cruelty to animals, as sentient beings who experience pain and pleasure and that are part of the human-animal-environment interface. The essential proposals of the Decree-Law of Animal Welfare in Cuba are aimed at regulating the principles, duties, rules and purposes regarding the care, health and use of animals to guarantee their welfare, with a focus on One Health, assuming welfare as animal: the physical and mental state of an animal in relation to the conditions in which it lives and dies. The approved legal norm establishes the responsibilities of the State Bodies and associative forms related to the welfare of animals and the principles that govern this activity. In addition, the individual responsibility that the owners, holders and holders of animals have to satisfy their basic needs and the obligations of the breeders in this regard. The Decree-Law defines the obligations of veterinary doctors to exercise veterinary assistance, under strict state regulations and the control of the competent authority in order to guarantee the prevention, diagnosis, treatment and control of diseases that affect animal welfare and compliance with disease prevention and control programs. The need to comply with the biosecurity and zootechnical management standards is ratified in the establishments dedicated to the breeding of productive animals, according to the characteristics of each species. The body of the norm establishes the obligations that people related to productive and working animals must comply with to avoid any form of animal abuse and ensure their well-being under normal conditions or in disaster situations. In the text of the document a chapter is dedicated to companion animals, defining them as: the species that are domesticated to accompany people or with the aim of their enjoyment. The conditions that they require when they remain in the exterior spaces of the house and the obligations that their owners, possessors or holders have to provide their well-being are established. Regarding the control of street po[CENSORED]tions, the Decree-Law confirms that the management of street canine po[CENSORED]tions is carried out according to what is regulated by the Ministry of Public Health in the National Rabies Control and Prevention Program and establishes the conduct to be followed with the stray animals once they have been collected and transferred to observation centers. The standard provides the requirements that must be met for the use of animals in sports, entertainment and exhibition, approval that will be the authority of the competent animal health authority. The obligations of the natural and legal persons responsible for these animals are established, in order to avoid the occurrence of acts that may damage their health and well-being. With what is regulated in the standard, the aim is to strengthen the surveillance, protection and security systems and the procedures that guarantee the welfare of the animals exposed in zoos, aquariums and fairgrounds. The use of animals for experimental purposes is dealt with in great depth in the body of the Decree-Law; Its content establishes the obligation to operate the Institutional Ethics Committee for the Use and Care of Animals in the institutions where they are used and regulates the basic principles that the aforementioned institutions must comply with in order to preserve the welfare of animals. live used in experimentation. Under the precepts of this legal document, the conditions for the use of live animals in technical and professional education are established, establishing as a requirement that teachers must have professional qualifications in veterinary medicine, biological sciences or other related. In the same way, the hygienic-sanitary and biosecurity conditions that the facilities where the animals are kept are regulated. It is the primary objective of the legal document to promote, in the study plans of general education and in the po[CENSORED]tion, issues related to the care, protection and welfare of animals, with an emphasis on new generations through different methods and means of communication . The Decree-Law updates the sanitary-veterinary requirements for the commercialization, transportation, housing, subjection and slaughter of animals. The obligations that people must meet to be authorized in these activities are established, as well as the hygienic-sanitary requirements that must be ensured in the means of transport, both for terrestrial and aquatic animal species, and in the facilities for stabling and slaughter. thereof. Regarding the slaughter of animals, it is established that it is carried out compassionately and quickly, avoiding pain and stress, guaranteeing correct handling and humane killing. The standard regulates the aspects that must be complied with for the slaughter of animals destined for human consumption and slaughter for prophylactic purposes in case of presentation of serious diseases of animals, of rapid spread and in emergencies or health contingencies that justify it, complying with established in the emergency plans approved by the competent animal health authority; in such a way as to ensure their well-being until their death. The criteria to be considered for the selection of the slaughter method to be used are established. The causes that justify the sacrifice are also regulated for the control of po[CENSORED]tions of animals in the wild. On the other hand, the regulations regulate the use of euthanasia, the persons authorized to carry it out and the causes that justify their choice as a last resort to be used to induce the death of animals, specifying the need to act compassionately. Finally, the Decree-Law establishes that infractions of what is regulated in its body and its Regulations constitute violations, as well as the provisions established on animal welfare. A Decree Law in which everyone legislated As part of the effort of the Cuban Government and State to give participation to the po[CENSORED]tion in the construction of the country's public policies, the Ministry of Agriculture has carried out multiple actions, among which is the call to legislate from the 3rd to the 23rd. November 2020, stimulating our po[CENSORED]tion to participate in the construction of the content and legal precepts that were considered should regulate the new legal norms, with the general objective of constructing the postulates of the specific legal framework of animal welfare, by the actors linked and the Cuban po[CENSORED]tion. For this, various communication channels were opened through the social networks Facebook and Twitter, emails and the institutional website of Minag, with the aim of facilitating interaction with the po[CENSORED]tion and being able to listen to their opinions, suggestions and recommendations on the subject. in question. Through these channels, it was possible to issue criteria for adding, deleting, modifying or leaving a comment regarding the proposed legal structure. This call had a great impact on those interested in this topic, since almost 7 thousand readings and more than 2 thousand comments and opinions were counted, as well as a notable impact on social networks. Likewise, the authorities and specialists of the Minag have held meetings with people interested in animal welfare, who have expressed their concerns and have provided valuable criteria on the subject, have clarified concepts and definitions and have referred to the importance of having a legal body that establish regulations on the behaviors and actions of people in their relationship with animals. Now it is time to work on the implementation of what has been approved. To achieve this, the preparation of our po[CENSORED]tion, of the authorities in charge of enforcing the provisions, associations, owners, holders and keepers of animals, and entities is vital. It will be necessary to continue developing a broad social communication campaign through the channels provided to achieve the expected impact with this regulation, convinced that it is a significant step forward towards a more humane society.

The Kia K8 is, in its own right, the flagship of the South Korean firm. With the development of it and put on sale they will hit the table. Above all, because they will demonstrate to the market and its main rivals that they have the financial and technical muscle necessary to create premium height models. Now, after unveiling its exterior and interior design, they go one step further and announce with great fanfare the mechanics that will make up their range. As we all know, because we have already told it here, the Kia K8 will have its main sales bastion in the US. South Korea, the Middle East and other regions of the globe are also in their sights. All of them, in addition, have similar mechanical tastes so when choosing the engines they have had it easy. Following the expression “Big donkey, walk or not walk”, we can get an idea of what will not reach Europe. The Kia K8 range is made up of four GDi gasoline mechanics The version that, for now, opens the range is an atmospheric four-cylinder. We refer to the 2.5 GDi with 197 hp and 248 Nm of torque. As a performance option there are two derivations of the new 3.5 V6 Smartstream GDi. The first gives a correct 240 hp and 314 Nm of torque that combines gasoline with liquid propane (LPI). At the top of the range, the K8 boasts 300 hp of power and 359 Nm of maximum torque along with a modern AWD all-wheel drive system. Later, in a second commercial phase, a mechanics of smaller displacement will arrive, although of medium power. We refer to the latest evolution of the modern 1.6 T-GDi that we already know in the range of Hyundai and Kia. Its power has not been announced, but it should exceed 200 hp. As a common point, all mechanical options will be associated with a modern 8-speed torque converter automatic transmission. To offer the best driving dynamics, the Kia K8 features a MacPherson strut front and a multi-link rear. Regarding the possibilities of equipment, it will have a curved screen that will group the digital instrument panel (12 inches) and the infotainment system (12 inches). Driving aids are new, including features like head-on collision avoidance or emergency braking. The arrival to the American market of the Kia K8 will take place in a few weeks. Meanwhile, the Asian firm does not announce prices or levels of equipment. Therefore, we will have to wait to know its position in the market and, above all, if it will have something to do with its rivals. Would you like to see it in Europe? Do you think its sale would make sense? What if it was hybrid or electric? Be that as it may, we will not have the pleasure of enjoying it.

More and more people are turning to real food, which is in its natural state, without any industrial processing. Today, many are trying to change their habits in order to be and feel healthier. That is why they opt for new lifestyles or alternatives that pursue this goal. This is how more and more people are leaning towards the so-called real foods, which come from natural sources and are in their natural state, without having any industrial processing, explains nutritionist Sthefania Esparza. From this concept, realfooding was born, a movement that defends and disseminates real food, rejecting the obesogenic environment caused by ultra-processed foods (foods that are industrially processed, that is, packaged). Basically it is a lifestyle based on consuming real food and avoiding ultra-processed ones, fighting against the dark side of the food industry. But is it possible to eat a diet based solely on real foods? The specialist points out that "it is possible if you know well what you can or is advised to consume and not demonize all products packaged as ultra-processed." What would a menu with real foods look like? Esparza details what a menu could be like by choosing only these foods, which ones can be consumed and which ones are located in the category of good processed and ultra-processed foods. Menu example Breakfast Boiled green banana Boiled eggs Strawberries Cup of black coffee or aromatic water without sugar Midmorning Guineo Peanut Lunch baked potato Grilled chicken, cook with extra virgin olive oil Mixed vegetable salad Avocado Mid afternoon Almonds Grapes Dinner Fish steak Baked sweet potato Cooked vegetable salad Extra virgin olive oil and lemon Allowed foods Vegetables Nuts Vegetables Fish and shellfish Tubers 100% whole grains Eggs Raw meat Fresh milk Spice Coffee and herbal teas Good processed Extra virgin olive oil Milk, yogurt 100% whole wheat bread Dark chocolate> 70% or unsweetened cocoa powder Canned fish Vegetable drinks without sugar Real frozen food Ultra-processed Fizzy drinks Energy drinks Cardboard juices Flavored dairy and sugar Bakery and pastry Processed meats Precooked frozen Cookies Box and bar cereals Fried snacks Sweets and ice cream Light products Sauces Recommendations According to the expert, those who want to start a diet only with real food can follow the following recommendations: - Find out well or seek the advice of a nutrition professional. - Make purchases in markets and not so much in supermarkets. - Real food requires cooking, it is not simply opening a package and consuming. - Don't focus on calories, focus on food. - Make good choices when shopping and eating out. - Learn to read labels, especially what the foods you buy are made of (ingredients). - Plan and organize your menu. Shop weekly. - Do not go to the market to buy hungry. - Eat without distractions (cell phone, television, etc.).

To be fully immunized, it is essential to receive that second dose and take into account the recommendations of the experts. If you received the first dose of the COVID-19 vaccine, that means you are on your way to being protected against the coronavirus. But it should not be neglected, as you are not fully immunized without first receiving the second dose, experts say. "We've told everyone that these vaccines are 95% effective," says Infectious Diseases specialist Dr. William Schaffner of Moderna and Pfizer-BioNTech's two-dose vaccines currently being administered in the United States. at the University Medical Center in Nashville, Tennessee. "But they are only 95% effective if you give that second dose." Side effects can be stronger According to research by the AARP news portal, a large number of people who did not feel any reaction to the first dose of the vaccine, have claimed that the second dose is stronger, which has surprised the researchers. Dr. Greg Poland, an infectious disease expert at the Mayo Clinic in Rochester, Minnesota, and director of the institution's vaccine research group, had only mild symptoms after the first dose of it. But the second left him shivering, with chills and a temperature of 101ºF. However, he told journalist Michelle Crouch; “I took a Tylenol and went to bed, and the next morning I woke up 90% recovered, and by noon I was back to normal,” says Poland. “This is not an indication that something is wrong; it is indicative of a vigorous immune response ”. Participants in the clinical trials of both vaccines had experiences similar to those of Poland, in those of Pfizer, 31% of participants between 18 and 55 years old reported having a fever after the second dose, compared to 8% after the first. Avoid painkillers at all costs before vaccination Some have talked about the 'side effects' of the second dose, which may tempt you to take a pain reliever before your appointment. However, according to Poland and Schaffner, it is not a good idea unless advised by your doctor. Taking painkillers preventively before a vaccine could decrease the effectiveness of the vaccine, explains the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) of the United States. On the other hand, they recommend taking acetaminophen (Tylenol) or a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory like Advil or Motrin after the vaccine if you experience side effects such as pain, fever, chills, or headache. The second dose must be from the same manufacturer as the first CDC allows Pfizer and Moderna vaccines to be combined only in "rare situations," such as when the vaccine used for someone's first dose is no longer available due to a supply shortage, or if it is unclear which vaccine they received. for your first dose. Still, the organization suggests avoiding it: Moderna and Pfizer vaccines "are not interchangeable with each other or with other COVID-19 vaccine products," it has been exposed in official statements. "The safety and efficacy of a series of mixed products have not been evaluated." Temporarily avoid other types of vaccines Please be patient if you are interested in getting the poster herpes vaccine or Tdap, as there is no data on the safety and efficacy of COVID vaccines given at the same time as other vaccines, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. US Disease Prevention. The CDC recommends avoiding other immunizations in the two weeks before and after both doses. Waiting also helps avoid confusion about the cause of a reaction if you do experience one. On the other hand, the organization allows exceptions in circumstances where avoiding vaccination would pose an emerging risk, such as a post-injury tetanus vaccine, or hepatitis due to an outbreak.

Scientists suggest that we only know about 20% of all living species on Earth. Where is the remaining 80% hiding? There are scientists who say that the sixth mass extinction is on our heels. In addition to the climatic emergency due to climate change, the environmental situation of the planet alarms biologists, conservationists and a wide variety of experts in different areas. For this reason, a map of animals that have not yet been discovered was drawn for the first time. A map with information to know Representations of Earth's geography and spaces are intended to map out the known. For the first time in history, however, a team of scientists set out to achieve the opposite goal: to design a map that attempts to delineate the places on the planet where there are still species to be discovered. This effort responds to the global biodiversity crisis. With increasing speed, the variety of species and ecosystems is reducing, generating significant ecological imbalances in various parts of the world. The spirit of knowing new species not yet analyzed is awakened by the interest of not losing them. The map's authors suggest four countries with the greatest potential for finding new species: Brazil, Indonesia, Madagascar, and Colombia. According to the Yale scientists in charge of The Map of Life - as this study was called - documenting, classifying and saving these animals will be a simpler task with a graphical representation of places to be known: "CONSERVATIVE ESTIMATES SUGGEST THAT AT THIS TIME ONLY BETWEEN 13 AND 18% OF ALL LIVING SPECIES CAN BE KNOWN, ALTHOUGH THIS NUMBER COULD BE AS LOW AS 1.5%," THE RESEARCHERS EXPLAINED IN A COMMUNICATION. Under this assumption, we still have about 80% of the species to be known on the planet. Conservation efforts and international commitments, according to scientists, should be aimed at not losing species that are not yet recorded until now: “[…] these [undiscovered] species and their functions can be lost forever in ignorance ". How to tackle this ‘biodiversity deficit’? The 'biodiversity deficit' has problematic ramifications in various fields of study. The most worrisome of these, without a doubt, is the growing ecological debacle looming in the not-so-distant future. For this reason, ecologists at Yale designed a model that pinpoints where unknown species of terrestrial vertebrates are likely to exist today. This algorithm is based on biological, environmental and sociological factors related to human activity. The possibilities of discovering and describing species quickly enough vary from animal to animal. This means that larger species are unlikely to have cousins that are not yet known. Although initially the animal map may be imprecise, it is likely to be a useful tool for preserving amphibians and reptiles that have not yet appeared in the eyes of science. "After centuries of efforts by biodiversity explorers and taxonomists, the catalog of life still has too many blank pages," the authors write.

The alliance between Daimler AG and Chrysler Group LLC was clearly a dismal failure. The German group wanted to consolidate its position in North America, and the Yankees needed technology and to improve its quality as necessary. Well, neither one nor the other understood each other and as a result models such as the maligned Jeep Patriot were born. And the most curious thing of all is that its design and creation was a technological "hodgepodge". Many may not know it, but the development of the Jeep Patriot was divided into three areas. Its design was carried out by Jeep. The powertrain and on-board technology were inherited from Mercedes-Benz. Finally the platform, which was called GS, was created together with Mitsubishi. However, its success in Europe was very limited, although in the US it lasted until 2017. Well, now the rumors indicate that it could revive, but would this make sense? The "resurrected" Jeep Patriot would be the 7-seater version of the current Compass According to several sources, including Rushlane, Jeep is preparing a derivative of the Compass. Several spy photographers have captured this model loaded with camouflage and, due to the aesthetic differences, they would be right. In addition, there is another piece of information that makes us think that Stellantis would be interested in resurrecting the Patriot name. If we go to the United States Patent and Trademark Office’s (USPTO) we see that they still have their property. And you may wonder, what is the point of recovering a name that gave so many headaches to the defunct FCA Group? Well, we have two paths to investigate. For one thing, the Jeep Patriot did not meet the needs of European customers for quality. However, its efficient all-wheel drive system, called Freedom Drive II, helped it build a good reputation in many countries in Central and South America. In addition, to this good reputation we must add that it offered a cabin and cargo space greater than its brother Compass. Well, if we add its virtues and subtract its defects, the following result would come out: the new Jeep Patriot would be a seven-seater SUV that would once again be twinned with the current Compass. The doubt is that nobody knows yet if it will keep this denomination or its managers will bet on another. Finally, this source points out that this "resurrected" Jeep Patriot could be sold in markets such as Brazil or India. In addition, they indicate that we will know its official name and more details of this project on April 4. So we will keep up to date to keep you informed of everything.

Experts explain the reason for some myths regarding the consumption of certain foods during the day. Do you have to give up certain foods at certain times of the day? Over and over again this type of advice is heard. One of them points out that you should not eat salad at night, as it makes digestion difficult. But this idea is part, like many others, of the realm of myths. According to the ecoanthropologist Astrid Donalies of the German Food Society (DGE), there is no strong scientific evidence that it is good to limit some foods such as raw fruits and vegetables to until 2:00 p.m. Burping prevents you from falling asleep People who have heartburn should be careful about consuming fruits at night, especially those with a lot of acid, such as citrus fruits, as this can lead to burping. "This is especially uncomfortable when you are lying down and uncomfortable when it comes to falling asleep," says Sabine Holzäpfel, advisor to the Food and Nutrition department of the German state Baden-Württemberg consumer advice center. Something similar goes for the salad. But, according to Holzäpfel, this varies from person to person and she confirms Donalies' sayings: "There is no scientific evidence that you should give up raw veggies at night," she says. The biorhythm of the digestion system Before it was believed that everything depended on the total calorie intake for the day and not on when or how often it was eaten. “But currently there are indications that timing (food is consumed) also plays a role. Some studies show health benefits if breakfast is large and dinner is less caloric, ”explains Holzäpfel. This makes sense, since the digestive system depends on the biorhythm. This is more active in the morning hours, while in the afternoon-night it works less. But this does not mean that the statement according to which everything that is eaten after 18 hours is not digested is correct. "Digestion begins when you chew and with saliva in your mouth," explains Donalies. And the gastrointestinal tract does not completely suspend its work overnight. However, some foods are easier to digest and others more difficult. Highly seasoned foods, hot or fried, and large dinners, such as very heavy casseroles, stay longer in the gastrointestinal tract and are digested more slowly. Alcohol also slows digestion. This can lead to discomfort such as heaviness, bloating, or heartburn. "Those who have these problems should not eat so much at night, and a maximum of three or four hours before going to sleep," advises the DGE expert Donalies. Liquid foods, such as soups and porridges, have a shorter retention time and are therefore usually more digestible. A matter of habit What to give up at night depends a lot on your own customs. If the main dish is eaten at night, the body usually gets used to this. "In these cases it is recommended to eat calmly and chew well, as this improves digestion," explains Holzäpfel. Feeling full and having gas are not good starting points for restful sleep. So if you feel very full after eating, it is best to try a little movement or go for a walk before going to bed. In general, the idea is to pay attention to your own body and to try with which foods you feel most comfortable. Don't eat a lot of white bread at night According to Astrid Donalies, there are observations that show that certain late intakes can lead to the appearance of overweight and diseases such as type two diabetes. For this reason, it seems to make no sense to consume a lot of simple carbohydrates at night, such as sweets or white bread. However, for this ecoanthropologist, what is really decisive for the development of body weight is the energy balance: the calories contained in food must correspond to the energy consumption of the body. What is the use of fasting? Timing is also key when doing intervals of fasting. In these cases you can eat almost everything, but only at certain times. Among the most po[CENSORED]r diets are 16: 8 and 14:10. This means that, for example, you only drink water, unsweetened tea or black coffee for 14 to 16 hours. In the remaining 10 to 8 you can eat normally. Domalies affirms that doing this alone does not change the type of diet or opt for a healthier diet. However, some data indicate that this type of diet can have positive effects on health and thus benefit weight loss. “The studies do not show a clear picture. Neither in terms of the long-term consequences, "he adds. On the other hand, the specialist sees the separation of carbohydrates and proteins critically. "It is not necessary to separate them in time", she assures, since - according to her she says - the human body is able to digest both foods at the same time.

More than 4.65 million people have already received two shots of the Pfizer vaccine. More than 50% of Israel's po[CENSORED]tion was inoculated with both doses of the coronavirus vaccine, Health Minister Yuli Edelstein reported on Thursday. “We have crossed the threshold of 50% of all Israeli citizens vaccinated with the second dose. Thanks to them, the State of Israel is defeating the coronavirus, ”the minister said today through his Twitter account. Despite the optimism, Edelstein urged the po[CENSORED]tion to "continue to obey the restrictions so that the coronavirus does not return." More than 4.65 million people have already received two injections of the Pfizer vaccine, representing 50.7% of the po[CENSORED]tion. Thanks to its swift vaccination campaign, the fastest in the world in terms of po[CENSORED]tion percentage, daily infections in Israel have dropped rapidly in recent months. While a month ago the country registered daily case figures of around 4,000 and positive rates around 6%, the latest figures show that yesterday no more than 470 new infections were detected, with a positive rate of 1, 1 %. These numbers are even more shocking considering that in the same period the de-escalation of the third confinement in the country has advanced rapidly, including the reopening of cafes, restaurants, places of worship and even halls of cultural events almost three weeks ago. With the reopening of nightclubs this week and the easing of air traffic limitations, Israel is thus moving towards near normality, at least for those who carry the so-called "Green Pass" for immunized, required to enter many places. Since the beginning of the pandemic, the country has registered about 830,000 cases of coronavirus, of which just under 13,000 are active, 482 of them in serious condition.

Not only sharks, green turtles, penguins and certain marine mammals do something quite unusual: swim in circles, according to a study that indicates that this behavior could be used to search for food, interact with other specimens or for navigation. This is the main conclusion of a work published in the journal iScience, of the Cell group, in which the researchers indicate that they do not yet understand the reasons for this curious pattern. "We found that a wide variety of marine megafauna exhibited similar circling behavior, in which the animals circled more than twice at a relatively constant speed," summarizes Tomoko Narazaki of the University of Tokyo in a note. Narazaki's team, which used technology to reconstruct these movements in 3D, made their discovery while studying the reproductive behavior of green turtles. "To be honest, I couldn't believe my eyes when I first studied the data because the turtles were going around in circles so constantly, like a machine!" Narazaki details. When she returned to her lab, she reported this "interesting discovery" to her colleagues who use the same 3D data records to study a wide range of marine megafauna taxa, the researcher says. What came next surprised the researchers even more: They noticed that various species of marine animals showed more or less the same movements in a circle. "This finding is surprising, in part, because swimming in a straight line is the most efficient way to get around," says Narazaki, adding that there must be some good reason for the animals to go around in circles. The scientific team points out that some circular movements were recorded in the feeding areas of the animals, which suggests that this behavior could have some benefit in finding food; for example, a total of 272 events like these were observed in four tiger sharks tagged off Hawaii. However, it was observed that sea lions circulate mainly during the day, although they feed mainly at night. Other circling actions that were not related to foraging were also observed. For example, they saw a male tiger shark circling to approach a female for courtship. The researchers add that evidence in sea turtles suggests that the circles may also play a role in navigation. "What surprised me the most was that the home-seeking turtles move in circles in seemingly important places from a navigational point of view, such as just before the final approach to their target," Narazaki concludes. The circles may help these animals detect the magnetic field to orient themselves.

The Japanese brand proposes an impressive concept that looks more like an SUV than a citycar. For those who do not remember, the Aygo was Toyota's urban proposal for Europe and the occasional export market, it was launched in 2005 and received a deep update in 2014. It was manufactured in the Czech Republic in conjunction with the Peugeot 107/108 and the Citroën C1, and focused on offering a compact proposition for the city and a respectable level of equipment. With the SUV onslaught, Toyota was not expected to replace the Aygo after ending the PSA deal; however, the brand surprises with the new Aygo X prologue (with a lowercase p), its new citycar for Europe, although from what can be seen, it has rather little urban subcompact. As is the trend in almost all brands, traditional designs tend to "crossover" to attract a greater number of customers, and that is exactly what happens with the Aygo X prologue, which explains the X accompanying the name of the car . Basically, Toyota repeats the Yaris Cross and Corolla Cross formula here, but with the little Aygo. There are several elements that justify this Cross designation: a five-door body despite its reduced format, the two-tone exterior, the roof bars, the thick plastic wheel arches and a generous clearance to the floor. But the new Aygo X is not just adventure, since Toyota designers were daring with other very modern elements, such as the front with the inverted C-shaped lights, linked by a light strip that goes from side to side and the handles concealable, which are hidden to be at the same level with the body. It also highlights its large front grille and, above all, that the double tonality of the body is not limited only to the roof, but to a good part of the sides, including extensions, rear area and rear paral. Everything is crowned with a very wide rear, with headlights also connected to each other below the trunk door. Of course it's a concept model, which shows in the slim side cameras fitted to the mirrors, but we're betting a lot of what we're looking at will make it to production. The brand also indicates that the size of the tires has been increased so that "the driver benefits from a higher point of view, for better and greater visibility". In addition to the side cameras built into the mirror housings, the brand adds a bike rack hidden in a rear skid plate. What's coming The manufacturer indicates that the Aygo X will be built on the group's modular TNGA-B platform, the same as the Yaris. However, neither engines nor estimated production dates are reported. We assume that it will not be soon, since the brand has not revealed any image of the interior, which should be just in development. Toyota's idea is that when it hits the streets, it will rank below the Yaris Cross and C-HR, offering traditional and hybrid mechanical options. For now we will have to wait, but what looks looks good.

It is advisable to follow some guidelines that will help us achieve a healthy diet. It is probable that with the drop in temperature during the day, especially in our Ecuadorian Sierra and with less solar exposure typical of the time, our eating habits will vary significantly. Even now, due to the continuity of teleworking, we spend more hours at home and tend to eat more. Many of you are accessing higher calorie foods, which have already caused weight gain. In a pandemic in itself, they have moved away from a balanced and complete diet, which is what allows us to increase our defenses and strengthen the immune system to face COVID-19 and infections characteristic of this time such as the flu. Just as in summer time we like to eat cold and light foods, winter invites us to opt for more caloric and hot dishes that provide us with a greater sensation of satiety. Therefore, it is advisable to follow some guidelines that will help us achieve a healthy diet, which we are called to promote throughout the year. We need to maintain regular and fractional feeding times during the day, this is something that is established in a personalized way. Breakfast is essential, many people have stopped taking it both children and adults, it is the first fuel that the body has since we spend eight hours of fasting in general since the last meal of the night. For everyone, a basic and very practical breakfast to take in the morning can contain dairy (milk, yogurt, kefir), eggs, fruits and nuts or seeds. The consumption of seasonal vegetables and fruits is vital, including strawberries, kiwi, lemon, apple, orange, pear, chard, radish, broccoli and peppers, essential in strengthening our body's defenses. Most of them provide us with vitamin C and minerals that our body needs. The fruit is better to eat whole, remember that the best way to take advantage of the nutritional qualities of any fruit is to consume it raw in its natural version, without overdoing it, it is a good source of fiber and also concentrates a greater amount of vitamins. If you always eat it with the peel, do not forget to wash it to remove any traces of pesticides and other contaminants that may be found. If you are going to chop or chop the fruit, you must consume it at that time, since there is greater contact with oxygen, so the loss of vitamins due to oxidation is greater. Hydration is also essential to maintain it, even if we are not thirsty. As less water is usually ingested, we must integrate foods rich in water into our daily diet, it is valid to take homemade soup based on green leaves and grains. In addition, the intake of infusions and hot drinks, which do not have added sugar, help us to stimulate blood circulation to better withstand lower temperatures, in the case of the Sierra. It is important to include good sources of carbohydrates, whole grains, whole grains and tubers such as sweet potatoes offer us vitamins and minerals. They are very satisfying foods and a source of energy necessary to face the cold. Regarding the consumption of fats, it is necessary to take care of its content and avoid its excess. Although the body needs to increase calories to maintain body temperature, it is necessary to avoid excess of these types of foods, especially those that are high in saturated and trans fats, for example, meats with a high percentage of fat or French fries; good sources are nuts, avocado, peanuts and extra virgin olive oil. All of these have a great energy value, provide quality fatty acids, antioxidants. You may tend to prefer simple carbohydrates like chocolates and desserts. This within a limit must be consumed eventually and do not have to be part of our daily diet. If you consume 70% chocolate it is the most optimal. It must be remembered that respiratory diseases and allergies are the order of the day this season, therefore nutrition at home cannot be neglected. Finally, we must remember the importance of physical exercise in winter to strengthen the defenses and face winter infections, accompanied by a healthy diet that prevents weight gain.

Vladimir Putin criticized Europe's position on the vaccine in his country and said that on Tuesday he will be vaccinated. The European Union (EU) continues with its vaccination while putting pressure on producers with whom it has already made contracts and leaves the analysis of the Russian vaccine for later. European officials such as Spain's Minister of Foreign Affairs, Arancha González Laya, have defended the European blockade of vaccine exports as a tool to “force” pharmaceutical companies, mainly AstraZeneca, to fulfill their contracts. The minister assured that this measure "is not intended to penalize any third country, but to force pharmaceutical companies to fulfill their contract," reports EFE. González referred to the warning that the president of the European Commission, Ursula Von der Leyen, made to the United Kingdom last week that Brussels could block the shipment of vaccines to that country if London continues without exporting part of the drugs to the EU of AstraZeneca manufactured in two British plants, which, according to the contract signed with the company, correspond to the 27 countries of the EU. However, González Laya said that "the smartest thing would be for the EU and the United Kingdom to work together to support AstraZeneca's efforts to expand its production", as it has already warned that in the first half of the year it will distribute only 100 million dose to the EU, in breach of what was agreed. This is why she will be one of the foreign ministers I spoke to with her British counterpart, Dominic Raab, at a NATO meeting this week. Meanwhile, AstraZeneca continues to defend the use of its vaccine after the doubts that have arisen in recent weeks and now claims that it is 100% effective in preventing severe forms of the disease and does not increase the risk of blood clots, after tests clinics conducted in the United States. This vaccine is cheaper and easier to store than many of its rivals, but its use was questioned when several European countries and other parts of the world suspended its distribution last week due to isolated cases of blood clots. The European regulatory agency and the World Health Organization have said that the injection of the vaccine developed by Anglo-Swedish AstraZeneca and the University of Oxford is safe and that there is no evidence of risks about clot formation, prompting France and Germany to resume vaccinations. But public confidence in the drug has plummeted, according to a survey by market analysis firm YouGov, conducted between March 12 and 18. New data The laboratory offered new guarantees on Monday, noting that trials in more than 32,000 people in the United States showed that the vaccine is 79% effective in preventing symptomatic COVID-19 in the po[CENSORED]tion and 100% in avoiding severe forms of the disease. and hospitalization, and it does not increase the risks of blood clots. It is 80% effective for those over 65, according to the laboratory. Several countries had suspended the drug to older people due to a lack of data among older participants in previous trials. "This review recognizes the AstraZeneca Covid-19 vaccine as one of the much-needed vaccination options," said Ann Falsey, a professor at the University of Rochester School of Medicine and one of the researchers who conducted the trials. . Russian vaccine relegation When consulting him about the possibility that Spain buys other vaccines such as the Russian Sputnik V in view of these delays, Laya assured that Madrid will only acquire drugs validated by the European Medicines Agency (EMA), among which is not the one in Moscow. Regarding this issue, the European Commissioner for the Internal Market, Thierry Breton, said that Europe does not "need" the Russian vaccine, in statements to the French channel TF1. "Sputnik V is a complementary vaccine, we have 350 million doses," declared the European commissioner, who also assured that "the Russians have difficulties to manufacture it and (that) without a doubt we will have to help them," according to AFP. Other officials have confirmed that they are not negotiating to buy doses of this vaccine. For these positions, the president of Russia, Vladimir Putin, affirmed that the European authorities are slowing down the approval of the Russian vaccine. "We do not force anyone to do anything (...) but we ask ourselves about the interests that these people defend, those of the pharmaceutical companies or those of European citizens," Putin pointed out. In addition, Putin also claimed that he "intends" to get vaccinated on Tuesday, a long-awaited announcement, set as early as December he said he planned to do so. Meanwhile, Russian Health Minister Mikhail Murashko said the EMA had promised to send a group of experts to review the results of the vaccine trials on April 10. While that happens, new manufacturers of Sputnik V continue to be added, as the Indian pharmaceutical group Virchow Biotech agreed to produce 200 million doses. A total of 500 million doses will be produced in India, including this contract and two more with other companies, according to AFP.
