  2. Surely all of you have dreamed of having a BMW M. What I am not so clear about is that, in your dreams, it was an electric M. But times and mobility change by leaps and bounds, so it won't take too long to see an electric BMW M available. The German brand has confirmed that during this 2021 it will unveil the first fully electric BMW M. Of course, it is not yet official which will be the first EV with the legendary M emblem, a symbol of high sportsmanship and performance. In any case, we can get some ideas. Taking into account that the most historical of the BMW M is the 3 Series / 4 Series, some rumors (as they say in Autocar) suggest that the first could be the BMW i4M (or whatever the company finally calls it). The Bavarian brand presented the Concept i4 some time ago; a somewhat futuristic coupé saloon whose production version will begin its commercializations this year. The M variant could improve the approximate 530 hp advertised for the BMW i4, but will go further. Like all Ms, a more dynamic set-up should not be missing. Among other things, it would have more reactivity when pressing the accelerator, more sporty suspensions and a faster steering feel. Hopefully a higher torque on the rear end as well. On the other hand, BMW i is also working on electric SUVs. In fact, the BMW iX3 is already available as the electric brother of the X3. It has enough power and considerable autonomy. Seeing that there is no lack of SUV in the M portfolio, it would be strange that in a while we will not see a BMW iX3M, for example. The sports division of the German firm has a lot of experience and it sure manages to create good sports electrical products. But of course, the question is the same as always. Would an electric BMW M be capable of approaching any of the traditional M range in emotions? We will see how they resolve that important section ...

  3. Tom Brady, who will turn 44 in six months, will play the tenth Super Bowl of his career after winning the National Conference Finals leading the Tampa Bay Buccaneers against Green Bay Packers 31-26. It will be the first franchise final for which he signed in March since 2002. It will also be, at his stadium, something unusual in the history of the NFL. And after having won every playoff game on the road for more glory. It took Brady three drives, four minutes, to connect with Evans and make it 7-0 in the score. He tied Green Bay with a great reception from Valdes-Scantling and the myth's response was even more forceful. Again with the water around his neck, on the third attempt, he threw a 48-meter bomb at Godwin, the genesis of the second touchdown in a superb run by Leonard Fournette. Brady's work was joined by the Tampa defense, which held off Rodgers' attack - three sacks in the first two quarters and an interception - and company. They withstood the siege just six yards from the mark zone, forced the Packers to a kick between sticks from Crosby, and managed to return the Tampa quarterback to the position where he is touched by the gods. With just six seconds left until halftime, he pulled off another 45-yard bomb and led the Buccaneers to dominate 21-10. His particular numbers at the time were superb. Over 200 yards on passes off his arm, (he finished 280) Brady was walking towards another legendary episode. A minute was enough to reaffirm it. A fumble returned the ball to the February 7 hosts of the Super Bowl for another TD on the Tom-Brate connection that put up a 28-10 frank. But in front of him was Rodgers, a front-line quarterback, 346 yards in the game, and he began to connect without delay. He connected with Tonyan (28-17) and Adams (28-23) with the entire fourth quarter remaining. Then came the nightmares of the defenses. For Brady it was Alexander, author of two interceptions; for Rodgers, Pierre Paul, author of two more sacks. The match was unblocked by Succopp with a field goal (31-23) and was pressed by Crosby (32-26), after a superb resistance from the Tampa defense. The other part of the success.

  4. "How to eat in this new normal?" could be seen as a curious and unusual question. However, after having been in quarantine periods since March, it is possible that eating habits have changed. And now that we are living this new stage of selective isolation, it is worth it ask yourself the question. “The habits to return to normality involve the entire family nucleus. It is important to get the family to start thinking differently about food preparation, recognizing the kitchen setting as a space for all household members ”, says Dr. Jannet Arismendi Jiménez, dietitian nutritionist, master's degree in food and nutrition, and speaker who will be part of the Week of healthy habits and lifestyles, which will take place between September 21 and 25 through the social networks of the Secretariat for Social Integration. The nutritionist highlights the importance of creativity and the rotation of what you do at home to achieve this goal and adds: “The most important elements of the kitchen are inspiration and love. Look for those details of love that make food look good. That taste of montage and the combination of colors when we serve a dish ”. The Nutrition and Supply Directorate and the Nutrition Sub-Directorate of the District Secretariat for Social Integration carry out a constant work to accompany the people who attend social services with food support and the projects that are worked on in the entity, in order to motivate them to have healthy habits and lifestyles. “We are living a process of new normality and it is important that people adapt, not only to their life cycle, but also to their environment. In our programs we encourage food consumption that is within the food and nutrition patterns established by the national government, from the dietary guidelines for the Colombian po[CENSORED]tion and according to the calorie and nutrient requirements for each age group ”, he says. Dr. Jacqueline Londoño, Deputy Director of Nutrition at SDIS. Healthy eating starts at home In times of pandemic it was necessary, for some people, to combine teleworking with homework. “This could have a negative effect on consumer habits. It was also affected by their income and surely they chose to consume fast foods. When we consume these types of foods frequently, there may be metabolic disorders that give rise to potentially preventable diseases such as obesity, being overweight, diabetes and hypertension ”, adds Dr. Arismendi. To that extent, it is essential to generate learning scenarios. According to Dr. Londoño, “the people who attend the community kitchens receive, through nutritionists, a card called 'Nutricartilla'. There appear the indications so that they can follow parameters of a healthy diet together with an accompaniment from us ”. The task of learning to eat well should start from home. Dr. Arismendi mentions the importance of respecting meal times with five times of consumption a day. Also to control the portions and find a balance between flavor, color and textures. “Cooking techniques can be varied. It can be steamed, baked, or sauteed, for example. It is also important to ensure that you consume two servings of vegetables and three servings of fruit a day. They can be mixed with quinoa or chia seeds, which provide vitamins and minerals. It is essential to ensure that, at each meal, there is one food from each group, including meat and dairy products that provide protein for tissue renewal. Minerals are essential for the proper functioning of the body; fruits and vegetables provide vitamins, minerals and fiber; cereals, roots and tubers provide energy ”, explains Arismendi. The programs of the SDIS Department of Nutrition have a special emphasis on children. “We are going to work with the parents so that they take the information home. They may attend a dining room alternately or permanently, but they always keep these habits in mind, ”says Dr. Londoño. “We cannot demonize anything. Everything in its measure and in its proper proportions. We must look at the quality, the portion and the frequency of consumption ”, says Dr. Arismendi. Critical nutrients The speaker advises that you should consume no more than two fried preparations a week and clarifies that olive oil is ideal for dressing salads, not for frying. It also does not recommend frying with margarine, this ingredient can be used in pastry preparations. Salt helps the balance of cells and the recommended amount is one teaspoon per person per day distributed in the different preparations. Sugar should be controlled by its use in home drinks such as juices or hot drinks and it is recommended to mix two fruits for a smoothie without added sugar. Learn to eat well and enjoy the process From September 21 to 25, the Week of Healthy Habits and Lifestyles will take place, a space in which with specialists in health, diet and physical activity issues, it will be possible to learn about what it means to eat healthy, how to exercise properly and how we can do it at home. The lectures will be available on the social networks of the District Secretariat for Social Integration. On Wednesday, September 23, at 10 a.m., Jannet Arismendi will talk in detail about the ingredients that we should use, what are her nutritional contributions and she will give some tips on how to enjoy a delicious meal that breaks with routines.

  5. The European Union (EU) is trying to pressure pharmaceutical companies to deliver the doses of coronavirus vaccines that they had pledged to provide during the first quarter of the year, following announcements of delays by Pfizer and AstraZeneca. The president of the European Council, Charles Michel, assured this Sunday that the laboratories will maintain the initial schedule of vaccine deliveries in the European Union from January 25, after Brussels intervened so that the contracts were respected. "We are going to enforce the contracts that have been validated by the pharmaceutical companies and we are committed to transparency using all the legal means at our disposal," Michel said on the French radio station Europe 1. The President of the European Council insisted that from Brussels they have had to "fight and strike a blow on the table" to ask for clarity on the reasons why delays have been announced and have also asked companies to speak transparently about the reasons for which they have sometimes had difficulties in the production chain. "When delays have been announced, for example in the case of Pfizer, we have acted firmly, hit the table and finally the delays of several weeks have been reduced to slowdowns in delivery," he added. This same Sunday, the Prime Minister of Italy, Giuseppe Conte, announced that his country will take legal action against the pharmaceutical company Astrazeneca for reducing the batch of coronavirus vaccines, as it has already done with Pfizer and BioNtech for the same reasons. "We will use all instruments and all legal initiatives, as we are already doing with Pfizer-BioNtech, to claim respect for contractual commitments and protect our national community," Conte said on his social networks. In any case, the majority of Member States have limited themselves to expressing their discontent or discomfort and urging companies to speed up the delivery of injections and comply with the agreement. Belgian Prime Minister Alexander De Croo this week refused to take action against Pfizer in court, calling litigation "not the solution." The Belgian Minister of Health, Frank Vandenbroucke, went on to specify that Italy has decided to go to court because it does not have enough injection reserves to apply the second dose. "That will not be our situation," he confirmed. On January 15, Pfizer confirmed a change in its production capacity for the coronavirus vaccine that would reduce the number of them that would be distributed in Europe in the coming weeks. The company explained in a statement that "it is working hard to deliver more doses than initially planned for this year" and that it must modify the production process to increase its capacity, which "requires additional regulatory approvals." "Although this will temporarily impact shipments in late January and early February, it will provide a significant increase in the doses available to patients in late February and March," the drugmaker said. On Thursday, the European Commission said it expects the pharmaceutical consortium Pfizer-BioNTech to fully regain its production rate "next week." "Starting next week, deliveries continue according to plan," European Commission Health spokesman Stefan de Keersmaecker told a news conference. The spokesman reported that last week the European Commission, responsible for the joint vaccine purchase program for the EU, was informed by the pharmaceutical company that "there would be delays in deliveries." The president of the Commission, Ursula von der Leyen, contacted "immediately with the CEO of the company and guarantees were offered that deliveries in the first quarter of the year would be respected and that production would increase in the following months". The pharmaceutical company has reported that "there will be delays for a week: this week we are in now", but next week deliveries are expected to regain the usual pace and, despite the problems, Pfizer has committed to Brussels to deliver by March the originally signed doses. On the other hand, AstraZeneca informed the European Commission on Friday that, after the approval of its coronavirus vaccine by the European Medicines Agency (EMA), which is expected at the end of the month, it will not be able to initially deliver the amount expected dose. Given this scenario, the community club will speak with the British pharmacist next week. As announced on Saturday by the Dutch Ministry of Health, the EU is "still in dialogue" with the company, which announced that it will reduce by 60% the total batch of vaccines it will deliver to Brussels in the first quarter of 2021, citing production problems. On the other hand, the President of the European Council also indicated in his interview today with Europe 1 that he has asked the European Medicines Agency to pronounce clearly and with scientific arguments on the number of doses available per bottle, which according to the laboratory Pfizer is limited to five, although the health authorities consider that there are six, which has balanced the delay. "It is necessary that throughout Europe we have the same interpretation," urged Michel.

  7. Defense and Justice made history at the hands of Hernán Crespo, consecrating himself for the first time internationally. The Copa Sudamericana is the result of an institution that year after year keeps in constant growth to the top. And this Saturday it happened. Undoubtedly, one of the pillars of this title is forward Braian Romero, an absolute scorer of the competition with 10 goals, who owns a history of constant improvement in his life. "You will not be able to play football anymore" He was running in November 2012 and the illusion of his career as a soccer player received a deep blow. He was a member of Acassuso, a team of the third division of Argentine soccer, when after not being able to train for a few days he was diagnosed with rheumatoid arthritis. This disease the joints and surrounding tissues, which made it difficult not only to play ball, but also to walk. " He took three pills a day and a corticosteroid a week. But nothing worked and the rheumatologist recommended that I stop playing football, which he already was. They told me that he could even have problems walking in the future. It was a very hard blow. I was playing well in Acassuso and had entered a list of footballers of the Metropolitan B, "he said in dialogue with La Nación. He fought her for a year and two months to return to a playing field and since the leadership of Acassuso they were already thinking of giving him a job in another sector of the club. However, at that difficult time, his grandmother insisted that he go to church. "I believed in God, but up to that point. Always with respect, but I didn't give it too much importance. Then one day I went and met a pastor. He helped me a lot, he talked to me about healing. I asked him things, he read, I started to get interested. One day I heard something very nice: he was talking about faith. Then I started to get closer and closer. And without any suggestion, neither from the pastor, nor from my grandmother, nor from anyone, I stopped taking the pills. It was a absolutely my decision. At the time my studies and my body began to improve, "he said in the same interview. At the same time, Romero began to walk, jog and run in the best way. When he intensified, he realized that the pain was gone." The doctor that he told me that he would not be able to play anymore, he could not believe it when he saw that he was recovered. He did everything in his power. And I think thanks to God I got well. It was a miracle ", he does not doubt it. From illusion to discarding in Independiente Braian Romero continued his career in Acassuso and in 2015 his goals led him to Colón de Santa Fe in the First Division. Later, he stood out in Argentinos Juniors where he became a figure and a very important piece of Gabriel Heinze's team that was promoted in the 2016/17 season. Again, his good performances led him to be in the crosshairs of Independiente. Ariel Holan did everything to sign him and the transfer of him arrived with great enthusiasm. However, in 'Red' he never found his place. The trust placed in the transfer was not the same when it came to betting on him on the court and he ended up going on loan. First to Athletico Paranaense and then, when in the middle of the pandemic they told him that they were not going to take it into account, to Defense and Justice. Crespo's confidence and glory Destroyed by Independiente's decision not to take him into account in the midst of a difficult situation such as the pandemic, Hernán Crespo did not hesitate to take him with him to Defense and Justice. He gave him a leading role in the team and positioned him in the center of the attack, when he usually played on the flanks. What did Romero do? He more than complied. He scored 10 goals in 9 Copa Sudamericana games, was the top scorer of the competition and a fundamental piece for the coronation at the Mario Alberto Kempes stadium. One more sample that football always gives revenge.

  8. The Covid-19 pandemic, little by little and with some setbacks and many tragedies, will be remembered. This coronavirus can disappear and then reappear, continue endemically under the control of the vaccine, or simply fade and disappear. The economy and healthcare systems will return to a new normal, some parts faster than others. Like the multiple plagues that humanity has endured since our ancestors met in cities - warns an investigation published by the National Center for Biotechnology Information of the United States (NCBI for its acronym in English) - this pandemic will generate recriminations for slow and wrong responses, speculations and exaggerated or insufficient reactions to economic, social and health events that, in retrospect, will be obvious. The individuals and organizations most guilty of exacerbating the disaster will escape responsibility as they scapegoat others and try to rewrite history. Heroes, whether they are people who helped provide clear risk communication and leadership or groups who persevered in the face of life-threatening fear and danger, are going to excel. Without fanfare, most will return to their normal jobs, scarred but proud of their efforts. As they have done before, experts and scholars will write endlessly about the cause, effects, and ways to ameliorate the brutal destruction of lives and ways of life of the next pandemic. "The problem is, we've done all of this before and we don't seem to have learned the lessons our predecessors taught," warns Dr. Kenneth V. Iserson, professor of Emergency Medicine, director of the Arizona Bioethics Program at the College of Medicine. from the University of Arizona and lead author of the research. Approximately one new disease emerges each year (AFP) For most people, the new coronavirus appears to be an anomaly; it is not. The 20th century began with devastating waves of the Spanish flu that killed 50 million to 100 million people worldwide. About one new disease emerges each year. Not all have human-to-human transmission, but they do have it to scare those tasked with monitoring global health. To highlight the danger and prioritize research, each year the World Health Organization (WHO) instructs a committee of experts to update its list of the most threatening infectious diseases that lack effective treatments or vaccines. The current list includes COVID-19, since the entire world is now focused on that pathogen. "What should act as a wake-up call to seriously fund surveillance, research and treatment of the wide variety of possible pandemic agents is the entity at the bottom of the short list: 'disease X'," says Iserson. Since 2015, the WHO has used this designation for a disease that could cause a pandemic due to a currently unknown pathogen to cause human disease. Last year's disease X now has a name: COVID-19. However, the next unknown and nameless entity may already be lurking. One might wonder: why don't we come up with a plan to identify these pathogens early and mobilize scientists, the health community, politicians, and the public to combat these scourges? The answer is that we already have. We know what steps to take to limit a pandemic. Detailed plans have been developed and disseminated by WHO, the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), and the Departments of Homeland Security and Health and Human Services. "It is clear that there are multiple X diseases in our future; we have to be prepared" (AFP) “After the SARS pandemic, for example, the WHO detailed the steps necessary to control a pandemic. These vital steps were ignored during the initial period of the COVID-19 pandemic. WHO is chronically underfunded, has to endure a bloated, slow and uncoordinated bureaucracy that has to answer to 194 countries. He has been convicted of both overreacting (2009 H1N1 pandemic) and overreacting (2014 Ebola epidemic and COVID-19 pandemic) and failing to act. The CDC is chronically underfunded and lacks political power. Academics are voices in the desert whose advice is generally sought too late in the process to have much effect, ”says the specialist. And he concludes: “As the threat of COVID-19 diminishes, politicians will make big promises to implement plans to stop, or at least prepare for, the next pandemic. The recovering economy will be too weak at first to support the effort, although more funds will be promised in the future. Ultimately, they will make changes that are politically expedient and will not authorize the changes necessary to produce faster and more flexible responses. Memories of heartbreak and social disruption during COVID-19 will fade. Our strongholds against pandemic diseases will continue to be underfunded and inadequate for the job. Even so, it is clear that there are multiple X diseases in our future; We need to be prepared".

  11. The Volkswagen Polo Harlequin was released in the mid-1990s as a special edition. It was tremendously eye-catching for using an exterior panel of each color. It was born after the main idea of showing the world the ease of changing car parts, modular construction, something inherited from the 60s with an advertisement for a similar Beetle. They had originally produced only twenty units of the Harlequin for promotional purposes. Later, and seeing that it was very po[CENSORED]r, it was decided to create a circulation of 1,000 units for sale to the public, which was finally extended to 3,806. But most importantly: Is the Volkswagen Polo Harlequin back on the market? Unfortunately, the answer is no. The Polo unit that we see in the images has been made by the Volkswagen Holland division. This traces almost entirely the style carried out by the model of the 90s. It uses the same colors in each piece, with only difference in the upper door frames, which are now built in a different way. Another detail that the current unit has not replicated is the case of the steering wheel. And we remember that in the 1995 Volkswagen Polo Harlequin, the well-known 6N generation, had the steering wheel rim in blue. But what is the real reason for this new unit? The Volkswagen of the Netherlands points out that this unit of the current Volkswagen Polo Harlequin has sought what could be called a therapeutic effect. And it was presented last Monday, which coincided with Blue Monday. Some say that day is the saddest of the year… With the Harlekin Polo they wanted to give Blue Monday a little more color.

  12. Kylian Mbappé smiles again with PSG. The Frenchman silenced his critics with two goals and a previous match against Montpellier. And it is that he is already the top scorer in Ligue 1, but it was almost the least ... The forward spoke after the game of his future and opened a door to a possible exit, but also making it clear that if he renews with PSG is to stay for many more years. With Real Madrid lurking, Mbappé pointed out that he is negotiating with PSG, but that to this day he is not clear about it. He says he is in a period of reflection, not ruling out leaving, and that he will soon make a decision: "We are discussing with the club. I am in a period of reflection to think about where I want to be. If I renew it will be to stay for many years," he said. Thus, Mbappé confirmed what Leonardo, PSG sports director, said when he assured that they were negotiating with him to extend his contract, but also that he is not clear about it and it will take little time to decide. "We are discussing with the club to find a project. I am thinking about it because I think that if I sign, it is to spend a long time. I am very happy here, I have always been very happy here. The fans, the club, have always helped me. That already, I will always be grateful to the club. But I want to think about what I want to do in the coming years, where I want to be, "commented Mbappé. "A decision will have to be made soon, but I'm in the process of thinking. If I had the answer today, I would have said it today." The Frenchman also pointed out that he has to make that decision soon: "Yes, a decision will have to be made soon, but I am in the process of thinking. If I had the answer today, I would have said it today. But it is not a desire to save time, it's really a reflection. I don't want to sign a contract and say a year later that I want to leave because I didn't want to sign the contract. No ... If I sign it is to stay. And that deserves a reflection. " Thus, Mbappé revealed that he has a debate in his head. His contract with PSG ends in 2022 and he is wondering if he will sign an extension or not. Real Madrid, meanwhile, awaits his decision, which he has been waiting for so many years. The soap opera regains strength.

  13. Experts argue that Western eating habits do not help maintain good cardiovascular health A diet high in fried foods significantly increases the risk of suffering serious cardiovascular events, such as heart attacks or strokes, according to a study published this Monday in the journal Heart. That risk grows exponentially with each weekly increase of just 114 grams of fried foods, warn the authors of this research, led by the Center for Health Sciences of the University of Shenzhen (China). In general, experts say, Western eating habits do not help maintain good cardiovascular health, but, until now, it was not clear how exactly it affects the intake of fried foods. To clarify this, the researchers selected 19 relevant studies published up to 2020. Thus, they first collected data from 17 studies, which included 562,445 participants and 36,727 serious cardiovascular events - such as heart attacks or strokes - to assess the risks of cardiovascular disease. They then collected data from six other studies, including 754,873 people and 85,906 deaths recorded during a mean follow-up period of 9.5 years, to assess the possible link between the consumption of fried foods and deaths caused by "cardiovascular disease" and by " other causes ". They found that, compared to the lowest category of weekly consumption of fried food, the risk of suffering a serious cardiovascular event in the highest increased by 28%, while the risk regarding coronary heart disease and heart failure increased by 22 and 37 %, respectively. These risk percentages increased 3, 2, and 12%, respectively, with each weekly increase of just 114 grams of fried foods, the authors note. They specify that all these figures could even be quite conservative, since several of the studies analyzed for this work only included one type of frying, either fried fish or chips, instead of a general intake of fried food. It is also not entirely clear, they observe, how, exactly, fried foods could influence the development of cardiovascular disease. This type of food, the authors believe, increases energy intake due to its high fat content, while generating "trans fatty acids", harmful to health, from the hydrogenated oils used for frying. This cooking method also increases the production of other chemical derivatives that affect the inflammatory response of the human body. Other dishes, such as fried chicken or French fries, have a high salt content and, in addition, they are usually served with highly sugary drinks, especially in fast food restaurants, they conclude.

  14. An investigation by Stanford University has discovered two characteristics of the new variant of coronavirus, which originated in the United Kingdom, and which causes the covid to spread more quickly, although with the same force. "The new variants of the virus can acquire an increased transmissibility, by increasing the propensity of the protein to expose the receptor of the union with the cell, and a greater sensitivity to elastase", was explained in the study, cited by Medical Writing. This allowed the new variant to become the most dominant in Europe and little by little in the countries where it has arrived. "It is important to note that the Asn614Gly mutation does not affect the ability of the antibodies to neutralize this variant. However, given that the virus continues to mutate at a very high rate, it is necessary to continue active surveillance for the appearance of new variants", warned in the investigation. In addition, it was recalled that it has not been determined that vaccines against covid lose efficacy in the face of new variants. "Although point mutations in the peak protein can affect the therapeutic benefit of one or the combination of two monoclonal antibodies, the benefit of polyclonal antibodies, such as those generated in infected individuals or, when passive or active vaccines are used, is less likely to be adversely affected, ”it was added in the post.

  16. Opel starts production of its light commercial vehicle in an electric version, the Opel Combo-e Cargo. It has a range of up to 275 kilometers on a single charge, so it can be an interesting option for those companies and workers who need a good cargo space, but who always move in a close and urban environment. This Opel Combo-e Cargo is available in two lengths. The normal body measures 4.4 meters and has a wheelbase of 2.78, being able to transport objects up to 3.09 meters in length. For its part, the extra-long XL body is 4.75 meters long. The battle expands to 2.97 and can carry items up to 3.44 meters inside. Opel Combo-e Cargo: 275 km of range and 136 hp But going back to the electrical system section, this Combo-e Cargo uses a 50 kWh lithium-ion battery. The German brand comments that in a 100 kW DC public charging station, recharging to 80% of its capacity is done in around 30 minutes. Of course this is a fast charge. In a domestic outlet or in a Wallbox, it will be several hours, although Opel does not specify the data. This battery is in charge of feeding the electric motor, which goes in the front part. It produces 100 kW (136 hp) and 260 Nm of torque, so it does not have enough performance outside the city. In terms of performance, its maximum speed is set at 130 km / h to maintain the battery, while it can do the 0 to 100 km / h in 11.2 seconds. Equipment of this electric light commercial One of the most striking things is that this Opel Combo-e Cargo comes with a new driving mode in the Intelligrip system. The usual thing is to have programming modes such as mud, sand or snow, for example. In this case, the "work" mode is added, which will adapt the response of the engine and the management of the electronics in a different way. Other assistants include Hill Descent Control, Lane Keeping Assist, and Trailer Stability Control. In infotainment there is an 8-inch screen with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, as well as two different systems: Multimedia Radio and Multimedia Radio Navi Pro.

  17. Eliminated from the Cup and without a place in the Super Cup, we had not heard from the leader for some time. At this point in such a strange course it is no longer clear whether such an interval between games is beneficial for the physical or harmful for the competitive. If we have to judge by the result we would aim for the first, if we have to judge by the performance to the second. But Koke wasn't there, which puts the latter in quarantine. Without the captain there is no paradise ... but with Suárez there are goals. And the Uruguayan's double, the decisive one forcing a last-minute penalty, served to win a match that Atlético surely did not deserve, but that rises equal to the classification. Of Panenka, in addition, perhaps to compensate for what he had experienced a long time before with another maximum penalty. Simeone had resolved the loss of Hermoso by moving Giménez towards that left sector, which is not as comfortable as any other in the line of three. Add that Carrasco is not a side, at most lane, and the result is the space left between Uruguayan and Belgian in the first substitution for a local long ball to fly towards Muto's domains. Yannick backed down, attending precisely to the ball, not the rival, with the consequence that he stepped on it. The rest they put between Dmitrovic, throwing it, and Mendilibar, allowing it to throw it. Eibar lived an almost unusual experience, that of getting ahead of Atlético in this championship. At that time the goalkeepers had scored almost 15% of the goals that the leader concedes: one of seven. This is how such a statistic would be, good are these people for that. Carrasco's next two actions also gave us food for thought, a gifted corner, an absurd (and involuntary) ball to the referee, so El Cholo took action on the matter: Lodi to warm up. That blood did not reach the river, in any case, because Atlético gradually became a match that had been born uncomfortable and in which in any case they always missed one more point of precision. The rojiblanco team gained meters, finally causing the always advanced armera defense to retreat, but that barely allowed a Correa volley to caress the crossbar. The leader seemed to deflate again in the final stretch of the first act. But football is unpredictable, we will never tire of writing it, and where there was nothing there was a draw. Because Sergio Álvarez was slow to clear a ball, so that Llorente arrived in time to intercept it under pressure, and because Sergio Álvarez, already in a hurry, screwed up the second attempt to ward off danger. Luis Suárez, always on the prowl, had no choice but to exercise the trade of a gunman. There was still time for a furious reaction from Eibar, which put several disturbing centers to an area that the three visiting centrals did not finish dominating, rather the opposite this time, but a header from Kike García went off course and in the intermission he arrived with boards. It was not the worst possible news for an Atlético that on the 21st day of the 21st century had started the wrong way due to an error on their number 21. Seen in this way, it even has a certain logic. Simeone did not wait any longer and made changes: Joao Félix defends less than Correa but Torreira defends more than Lemar, so the double movement tended to a balance that did not prevent the repetition of the previous events, read that Eibar got involved much earlier than Atlético. A mistake by Saúl, more inside than midfielder already, offered the first chance to Kike García; a spectacular foul by Felipe, who was late for almost all of them (yellow and serious flirtation with the red one as a result), caused Arbilla's second. They both left by a span. Definitely the substitutions had seated the leader in that way, the game was definitely going back to play much closer to Oblak than to Dmitrovic. No loot to bag, but closer anyway. Until at the last minute the Cholo squad reappeared. With a career of Suárez towards the door that Arbilla interrupted and to which the referee applied the minimum punishment in the form of the color of the card, first. With a shot from Joao to which Dmitrovic responded with a great hand, later. And with the decisive play, finally, in which the local center back sinned naively to which the Uruguayan protected the ball. The technology granted what was already indicated by the whistle, because there was contact, the intensity is what is discussed, and the ram did the rest. The 9 is not bored of winning. The leader, either.

  18. Eating a healthy and balanced diet is one of the most important habits to help strengthen our defenses or immune system. Living healthy habits is essential to reduce the risk of disease. And having and maintaining a healthy and balanced diet is one of those habits, a fundamental pillar that can help us protect and maintain (more) strong our immune system, that is, our body's natural defense against infections. How should our diet be to make our immune system stronger? José Manuel Fernández García, head of the nutrition group of the Spanish Society of General and Family Physicians (SEMERGEN) explains to EL ESPAÑOL that the most important thing is to follow a healthy diet, the one that is recommended to reduce the risk of cardiovascular diseases, because this diet also improves the immune system. "The essential thing is to eat a diet based on the Mediterranean diet pattern where fruits, vegetables and vegetables predominate mainly, which is a diet rich in antioxidants and micronutrients, which is fundamentally what our body needs ", says Fernández. In this way, the diet that we must follow must be made up of some basic rules that mark the nutritional recommendations. These are the following: A consumption of five servings of fruits, vegetables and vegetables daily; whole grains and complex carbohydrates, that is, unrefined products; a weekly consumption of meat and fish, preferably more fish than meat and preferably white meat over red meat; I consume legumes in all their varieties (according to the recommendations 2-3 weekly servings); daily consumption of dairy products (in the form of cheeses, yogurts and milk) and weekly consumption of eggs (nothing happens, it saves medical contraindications, by taking an egg a day). One of the basic essentials of our diet must be olive oil, both for cooking and for dressing and it is also important to include nuts daily (raw or toasted). "Processed meats and processed foods / products should only be for occasional consumption," says the expert. As for salt, it is important not to exceed the 5 grams per day indicated in the recommendations and as for sugar, you should take the least refined sugar possible, both in the form of sugar and in the form of sweets and industrial pastries (according to the Organization World Health, no more than 25 grams a day, however in Spain we take an average of about 110 grams per day). A healthy lifestyle In addition to food, it is essential to exercise regularly and get adequate rest. "About 30 minutes of physical activity a day, along with a healthy diet and a good rest, is the best protection for the immune system," says Fernández. "It is important to maintain common sense at all times. You must eat a healthy and balanced diet, good hydration, practice physical exercise regularly and sleep and rest properly." The most important thing is not to take specific foods or others, because each person has a different metabolism, the fundamental thing to protect our immune system and our health in general is to "lead a healthy lifestyle." In spite of everything, the SEMERGEN expert wants to make one thing very clear: "There is no specific diet to protect against viruses, nor from the SARS-CoV-2 coronavirus," he assures. There are protection measures against viruses, such as, above all, the annual flu vaccination. Also and in the specific case that concerns us these weeks due to the coronavirus emergency, "it is important to follow the recommendations of the authorities, such as washing your hands, not coughing on top of others (doing it on the elbow) and staying away from the spotlights. contact ", concludes Fernández.

  19. This January 20, the 8,000 doses of vaccines against COVID-19 arrived in Ecuador; made by the pharmaceutical company Pfizer and BioNtech arrived at the Mariscal Sucre airport. Since this Thursday, the vaccination of first-line doctors began in three cities of Ecuador. Pfizer's vaccine, whose official name is BNT162, uses genetic engineering to generate an immune response in the body by introducing into the body the information necessary to make the virus protein that causes human cells to become infected and an immune response is generated in his against With the vaccine, strands of genetic instructions named messenger RNA, that is, the molecule that tells our cells what to do, are injected into the body. The RNA of these peak proteins are those used by antibodies to recognize the virus, therefore, this molecule, protected by a layer of lipids, is an essential part of the vaccine. Genetic information orchestrates the production of spike proteins, thereby generating immunity against COVID-19. These proteins are harmless in themselves and are released by cells after receiving the vaccine instructions. The immune system, in response, will produce antibodies. "The vaccine does not contain any live virus, nor does it contain the parts of the virus that can make a person sick," Pfizer experts explain. The downside is that this vaccine, wrapped in a protective lipid capsule, must be stored at a minimum temperature of minus 75 degrees Celsius. To meet this requirement, freezers are needed because RNA is fragile. His arrival in the country has the support of the same pharmacist and comes in refrigerated planes for his ideal transfer. Ecuador announced that it will vaccinate some 9 million citizens. In the preliminary phase that began this Thursday, doctors who have been part of the front line for almost a year since the pandemic began are vaccinated. Subsequently, health authorities expect to have a total of 18 million vaccines, due to the double dose required by the Pfizer vaccine. There are at least five groups who cannot get the SARS-cov-2 vaccine: those under 16 years of age, pregnant women, people with catastrophic (immunosuppressed) illnesses, people with bleeding problems, and people with severe allergies.
