  3. The new product range offers a very high image quality Samsung has launched a new range of monitors on the market, and they are models that combine great design with very striking features. We are talking about the Smart Monitor range, a family of screens that are an ideal complement for both offices and home desks. If you are thinking of renewing your workspace, they have a very good image quality. The new range of Smart Monitor monitors for 2023 has presented three different versions: M8, M7 and M5. These variants offer a variety of sizes and features to meet the needs of different types of users. As is usual in the products of the Asian company, intelligent functions are integrated that allow the possibility of connecting to the Internet and, also, enjoying video transmission services (in addition, they offer compatibility with voice assistants such as Alexa -in the case of the models M8 and M7-. The new models in the Samsung Smart Monitor range All versions support the use of a small webcam that can be used directly with the Google Duo application. However, this accessory is only included in the M8 model, so in the other models it must be purchased separately. This is the highlight of each purchase option: SmartMonitor M5 The cheapest option includes a Full HD panel available in 32-inch and 27-inch sizes. The brightness reaches up to 250 cd/m² with 4K resolution. It offers compatibility with HDR10. For the rest, it has some interesting shared features and does not lack access to the Smart TV platform as the main attraction. SmartMonitor M7 It is a slightly more advanced version of the M5. It maintains the 4K resolution on a 32-inch screen, although the brightness is increased to 300 cd/m². Color options are limited to a white model, so the alternatives are more limited. This monitor offers a more affordable price compared to the high-end model and allows you to enjoy very good image quality. SmartMonitor M8 With a minimalist and colorful design that is inevitably reminiscent of Apple's iMacs, this monitor is the most advanced model in the family. It has a panel that reaches a brightness of 400 cd/m² and offers compatibility with HDR10 +. Available in a single 32-inch version, this model stands out for its spectacular design and will surely become one of the most desired due to its exceptional performance. Its native resolution is 4K at 60Hz and, like its siblings, it has a completely flat screen. Something to keep in mind Unlike other monitors aimed at the gamer public, Samsung's Smart Monitors have a different approach. As you may have seen, these monitors stand out for their elegant design, sophistication and, above all, for the versatility offered by their integrated Smart TV platform. The main idea is that, in addition to using the screen with your PC or laptop, you can use it as a smart television to enjoy content from platforms such as Netflix, Apple TV and other streaming services. Therefore, these Samsumg monitors provide a wide range of entertainment and productivity possibilities. Thanks to its ability to connect to the Internet, you can access a variety of applications. Can you play with them? Well, the truth is that yes, since its response time is below four milliseconds, but this is not its main focus. For anyone else, they are completely redundant. https://cincodias.elpais.com/cincodias/2023/05/24/gadgets/1684938362_281807.html
  4. PowerToys is a free application that adds a set of extra functions to Windows that are not available in the Microsoft operating system and that allow us to improve our workflows in a very easy and intuitive way. This application has just added a new function in its latest update, a function that allows us to manage up to 4 computers with the same keyboard and mouse. With the launch of the new version of PowerToys, number 0.70, Microsoft has just added a new function that for many is a blessing, since if we have several computers it allows us to manage them directly from one as the main one using the same keyboard and mouse. We are talking about Mouse Without Borders, whose operation is similar to other applications dedicated solely to offering this function, and where we have to move the mouse cursor towards one of the edges of the screen or using keyboard shortcuts (Ctrl + Alt + e) to start controlling the computer with which we want to work at that moment. One of the main reasons for working with several computers is due to the hardware limitations that one of these may have, so if we use a computer to perform certain tasks we need to transfer the content easily and quickly. The guys at Microsoft have taken this need into account and, in addition to managing other computers, we can also transfer files with a maximum limit of 100 MB. It also allows us to synchronize the content of the clipboard between connected computers, although this function is available natively in Windows. Like all the features that PowerToys puts at our disposal, setting up this feature is very simple. Manage multiple computers with one keyboard and mouse The first thing we must do is install the application on all the computers that we want to manage. The latest available version of PowerToys, number 0.70, can be downloaded from its website on GitHub or from the Microsoft Store. Next, we open the application on the computer where the keyboard and mouse that we want to use are located and we go to the Mouse Without Borders function to activate the corresponding box. Next, in Encryption Key we must write a password to access the computer or use the New Key button so that one is generated automatically. Now we carry out the same process on the computers that we are going to manage through the main one, activating the Mouse Without Borders box, copy the password that has been generated or the one that we have entered and the name of the equipment (it is shown next to the password ). We return to the main computer and click on the inverted triangle located to the right of New Key, enter the name of the computer and the password to finally click on Connect. From this moment on, when we move the cursor to one of the sides of the screen, we will start working on the other computer. https://www.softzone.es/noticias/programas/controlar-4-ordenadores-teclado-raton-powertoys/
  5. Intel wants to step into the future and forget about old technologies. For this reason, with its new Intel x86S architecture, it would set aside support for 32 and 16 bits and focus exclusively on 64 bits. It is a risky step but one that must be taken, since most of the utilities are already in 64 bits and continuing to support 32 bit systems is very expensive and unnecessary. Intel x86S Its new architecture is based, as we have mentioned, on focusing only on 64-bit systems, that would be your idea and therefore it will no longer have compatibility or support for systems with less. The 32 bits no longer support more than 4GB of memory, something that right now is ridiculous to think that in the future a computer or system will not carry more. Today it is already difficult to see computers that use less than 64 bits, since there are operating systems such as Windows 11 that do not allow it. However, Intel continued to make them with any compatibility in case the user needed it. From now on it will be the other way around. Regardless of the operating system we use, if we have the new Intel x86s we will not be able to run it unless we use at least 64 bits. It is well thought out since, if Windows 11 does not allow this, future versions will not go backwards either, and, therefore, all new computers that are sold will be in the latest version, that is, include something that the user will not be able to use it is nonsense and an extra cost. But this would not only focus on costs or deprecation but also on efficiency for the user, since the new models would have a higher speed due to not having to page the previous modes during boot. Possibly it's about milliseconds, but hey, every improvement matters. Intel tries to convince us of these improvements with some points detailed by them with the benefits of the new architecture. They would be next. Use of the simplified 64-bit segmentation model for 32-bit application segmentation support, matching what is already used by modern operating systems. Removal of rings 1 and 2 (which are not used by modern software) and deprecated segmentation features such as gates. Elimination of 16-bit addressing. Removed support for ring 3 I/O port access. Removed chain port I/O, which supported an obsolete CPU-driven I/O model. Limit the use of the local interrupt handler (APIC) to X2APIC and remove support for the legacy 8259. Remove some unused operating system mode bits. Given this, we are sure that AMD will not take long to rule on the matter and copy the strategy of its rival, since for them they are all advantages as well. In short, the era of less than 64 bits is a thing of the past, from today we will see more modern and faster systems based on new features that make us advance by leaps and bounds to a totally technological future. https://hardzone.es/noticias/procesadores/intel-x86s-64-bits/

  10. Colvin professionals reveal 5 curiosities about one of the most beautiful and desired flowers in the world. Do you know everything about peonies? Peonies are one of the most beautiful and elegant flowers that exist in the world of gardening and floral decoration. With their large petals, their vibrant colors and their unmistakable fragrance, these flowers are a true delight for the senses. But in addition to their beauty, peonies have many interesting curiosities that you probably did not know about. In this article, the professionals at Colvin tell you five fun facts about peonies that will surprise you. ORIGINS OF PEONIES: HISTORY AND SYMBOLISM Peonies have a very rich and fascinating history dating back over 2,000 years. The peony plant is believed to be native to Asia and Europe, although most species originated in China. In this country, peonies have been cultivated for more than 1,500 years and are considered a symbol of prosperity, honor and love. According to Chinese legend, the peony was named after a Greek god named Paeon, who was the physician of the gods in Greek mythology. The story goes that Paeon used the root of the peony to heal a war wound to Hades, the Greek god of the underworld. The plant was considered sacred and became a symbol of healing and protection in Greek culture. In ancient China, peonies were grown in imperial gardens and were considered a symbol of wealth and honor. During the Tang Dynasty (618-907), these flowers became a symbol of royalty and were used to decorate the gardens of emperors. The Tang Dynasty is also known as the golden age of peonies, as many new varieties were cultivated and cultivation techniques were improved. During the Song Dynasty (960-1279), they became one of the most po[CENSORED]r plants among the nobility and the literati. Many poets and artists created works of art inspired by it, and the plant became a po[CENSORED]r subject in literature and poetry. In Japanese culture, peonies are also highly valued and are considered a symbol of honor, love, and prosperity. The plant has been cultivated in Japan since the time of the samurai and used in tea ceremonies and festivals. Today these flowers are grown all over the world and are po[CENSORED]r for their beauty and symbolic value. THERE ARE MANY VARIETIES OF PEONIES Peonies are very po[CENSORED]r plants around the world for their beauty and symbolic value. There are more than 30 species of peonies, each with unique characteristics that make them special and desired. These are some of the most common: Shrub peonies: they are the most common peonies and are characterized by having a strong and rigid stem that makes them ideal for floral arrangements. Shrub peonies are divided into two types: early-blooming and late-blooming. Herbaceous peonies: they are the most po[CENSORED]r peonies and are characterized by weak and flexible stems that bend under the weight of the flowers. Herbaceous peonies bloom in spring, producing large, showy flowers in a wide variety of colors. Tree peonies: Also known as woody peonies, they are characterized by having a thicker and more woody stem than shrub peonies. Tree peonies can grow up to 5 feet tall and produce large, showy flowers. Double Flowering Peonies: These are peonies with a large number of petals, giving them a rose-like appearance. Double-blooming peonies are very po[CENSORED]r in floral arrangements and are highly valued for their beauty. Single-flowering peonies: These are peonies with a single row of petals, giving them a simpler, more elegant appearance. Single-bloom peonies are highly valued for their beauty and elegance. Itoh peonies: Also known as intermediate peonies, they are a combination of herbaceous and tree peonies. Itoh peonies have stronger stems than herbaceous peonies, but less woody than tree peonies. They are highly valued for their long flowering and for the wide variety of colors in which they are presented. Dwarf Peonies : These are varieties of peonies that grow to a maximum height of 12-18 inches. They are ideal for small gardens or miniature flower arrangements. Exotic Peonies: These are rare and hard-to-find varieties of peonies. Exotic peonies may have unusual shapes, rare colors, or unique patterns on the petals. They are highly valued by collectors and plant lovers. WHEN IS THE FLOWERING TIME? The flowering time of peonies varies depending on the variety and the climatic conditions of each region. In general, however, peonies typically flower in spring and early summer, although some varieties may flower later in the season. Those with early flowering are usually the first, in March or April and some of them are "Paeonia tenuifolia", "Paeonia officinalis" and "Paeonia delavayi". They tend to have smaller flowers than mid- to late-blooming peonies, but are just as beautiful and valued. Mid-blooming peonies typically bloom in late spring and early summer, between late May and early June. This group includes the po[CENSORED]r "Paeonia lactiflora", which is one of the most common and valued throughout the world. There are also other varieties such as "Paeonia suffruticosa", "Paeonia veitchii" and "Paeonia rockii" that flower in this period. Late bloomers typically flower in mid-summer, often in July or August. These peonies include varieties such as 'Paeonia lutea' and 'Paeonia ostii'. These peonies typically have larger blooms than early- or mid-blooming peonies, and are often highly fragrant. It is important to take into account that the flowering time of peonies may vary depending on the climatic conditions of each region. In some cooler areas, peonies may bloom later in the season, while in warmer areas they may bloom earlier. Also, peonies can bloom later if they are not provided with enough sunlight, water, and nutrients. In summary, the flowering time of peonies varies depending on the variety and the climatic conditions of each region. In general, however, peonies typically flower in spring and early summer, although some varieties may flower later in the season. If you want to grow peonies in your garden, it is important to research the varieties that are best suited to the climatic conditions in your region. ARTISTIC INSPIRATION: THE BEAUTY OF PEONIES Peonies are not only known for their beauty and scent, but also for their ability to inspire artists and creators around the world. For example, in traditional Chinese painting they are considered a symbol of wealth, honor, and feminine beauty. Chinese artists often depict peonies at different stages of their life cycle, from tiny buds to lush, mature flowers. The shape of peonies has also been used in Chinese calligraphy and is considered a very elegant decorative element. Apart from painting and calligraphy, peonies have also been a source of inspiration for literature. In the novel "The Peonies" by Pearl S. Buck, these flowers are a symbol of life and death, beauty and pain. The story takes place in 19th century rural China and follows a family struggling to maintain their traditions and customs amid the social and political changes taking place in the country. A very decorative flower Peonies have also been used as a decorative motif in architecture and fashion. In architecture they have been used as a decorative element in temples, palaces and other important buildings around the world. For example, the Temple of the Peony in Luoyang, China, is one of the oldest and most famous dedicated to this flower and has a large number of paintings, sculptures and other artistic objects related to it. In fashion, peonies have been used as a decorative motif in dresses, jewelry and accessories. Designers have used its shape and colors to create unique and elegant patterns and designs that have been po[CENSORED]r all over the world. A MEDICINAL FLOWER In traditional Chinese medicine, peonies have been used for thousands of years to treat a wide variety of ailments and diseases. You can take advantage of almost all its parts: Peony roots have been used to treat gastrointestinal disorders, such as dysentery and diarrhea, as well as to relieve menstrual pain and treat liver disease. They are also used as a sedative and to calm anxiety. The root bark is used for fever and infections, as well as to reduce inflammation and pain. The root bark is also used as an antispasmodic and to relieve muscle cramps. Peony flower can be a good remedy for disorders of the liver and gallbladder, as well as to reduce fever and inflammation. Another use it has is as a muscle relaxant and to improve blood circulation. The seeds make it possible to treat kidney and urinary disorders, as well as reduce inflammation and pain. They can also be a sedative and calm anxiety. As well as on its own, peonies, in Chinese medicine, can be combined with other herbs and plants to create more effective remedies. One of the best known is the one that mixes peony root and licorice root, and it works very well for gastrointestinal disorders; another combination is that of peony root and angelica root, which is used to treat menstrual disorders. Of course, you must be careful when using them, since some parts of this beautiful plant can be toxic in large quantities. Furthermore, it is always advisable to consult a health professional before using any herb or plant to treat an ailment or disease. https://www.elmueble.com/plantas-flores/curiosidades-sobre-peonia_51036
  11. For 5 years, since the first appearance of the pest in the region (in Colombia in 2019), Ecuador has remained free of Foc R4T Fusarium Race 4 Tropical (Foc R4T) has been present in the region since 2019 when it was detected in Colombia, in 2021 it arrived in Peru and in January of this year Venezuela confirmed the appearance of the pest that affects bananas and other Musaceae. Ecuador has not yet reported the fungus and for that status to continue, close to $115,000 are invested in analytical capacity for the early detection of the pest. This was revealed by Patricio Almeida, executive director of the Phytosanitary and Zoosanitary Regulation and Control Agency (Agrocalidad), during a simulation of action and symposium to prevent the entry of Foc R4T, developed in Ecuador with the Inter-American Institute for Cooperation on Agriculture (IICA), the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) and the Inter-American Development Bank (IDB). The activity was carried out within the framework of the International Day of Plant Health. Almeida recalled that bananas are one of the country's main export items in which more than 16,000 producers are involved. “The banana industry provides employment and well-being to the country, Fusarium is already present in neighboring countries; however, to prevent their entry into the country, the Agency strengthens its action programs. Prevention, surveillance and biosecurity to prevent the entry of the pest into the country. Nearly $6 million and 200 technicians are in the field collecting information through timely detection," said the official. While the production sector also makes investments to keep the disease out of the borders. The producers calculate that they invest between $0.08 and $0.13 per box of bananas. In Ecuador there are approximately 300,000 hectares of banana planted, of which 44,000 are in the province of El Oro. According to data from the Central Bank of Ecuador, in 2022, 7 million metric tons were exported with an FOB value of $ 3,500 million representing a 15.5% participation in non-oil exports. According to the Regional Fund for Agricultural Technology (Fontagro), countries that also have the plague such as Indonesia, Taiwan and Malaysia had an economic loss of $380 million in 2021 in the banana industry, a problem that has spread to more than from 20 countries in the world. Meanwhile, the simulation carried out in Ecuador was attended by authorities from the Ministry of Agriculture and Livestock (MAG), the National Institute for Agricultural Research (Iniap), delegates from banana and plantain producer and exporter associations, academia, among others. who make up the Inter-institutional Work Committee for the prevention of the entry of Fusarium Race 4 and consisted of the live transmission of the activities established in the contingency plan against the plague, biosecurity measures, phytosanitary surveillance, sampling and intervention of a outbreak. On the other hand, the Symposium 'Key factors for the detection, management and control of Foc R4T' was attended by national and international experts from the FAO, the International Regional Organization for Agricultural Health (Oirsa), the Colombian Corporation for Agricultural Research (Agrosavia), Biodiversity-CIAT among others, which issued recommendations for the improvement of phytosanitary protocols and the updating of the National Contingency Plan for the prevention, detection and control of this pest.
  12. If you like large dogs, we have bad news for you, but luckily, things can always improve. Whether you have a big or small dog, depending on your tastes, there is something you might need to know: in the animal kingdom it is governed by that rule that the bigger you are, the longer you live. Nobody expects a house mouse to live more than two years, but an African elephant can live 65 or more, and we're not even talking about the Antarctic blue whale, which can live up to 90. However, there is an exception to this rule, and that is the domestic dog. Here the rule is that the smaller you are, the longer you live. For example, the tiny Yorkshire Terrier, which has an average weight of three kilos, has an average life of 15 years. Compare it to an English Mastiff that has an average life of only eight years and can weigh 104 kilos. Why is this happening? As reported by 'Psychology Today', before tackling the question of why different breeds of dogs age at different rates, one would need to address the aging process itself. The general consensus on how we age is based on the concept of wear and tear. That explains how we age, sure, but not why we age, which could be posed as an evolutionary question: "Since some species have evolved to live longer than others, why haven't all species evolved to have greater longevity?" . Since some species have evolved to live longer than others, why haven't all species evolved to have greater longevity? The answer that evolutionary theorists give is that there are two different paths that any type of animal can "choose", based on the idea that each species has only a fixed amount of biological resources. Remembering Darwin and the fittest, it should be mentioned that these are the species that produce the largest number of healthy offspring. It sounds a bit cruel, and perhaps that is why there is another alternative theory; that of Self-Preservation: Here the genetic programming is for a slower growth rate, fewer offspring, and the maintenance of enough resources to build defenses against harmful mutations and conditions that will adversely affect the animal later in life. Live fast, be big, leave a pretty carcass A new study collected data on 164 dog breeds. It included information on adult body mass, birth weight, at what age breeds reach 50 percent of their adult mass, litter size, average age of death, and, of course, typical causes of death. The first review of this data confirmed what others have shown, which is that larger dogs tend to die younger than smaller dogs. It also showed that larger dog breeds tend to have more offspring. For example, the diminutive Yorkshire Terrier has litters averaging three puppies. By comparison, the giant English Mastiff typically has litters averaging nine pups in size. Larger breeds are more susceptible to physical ailments after reaching their adult size, which is typically two years of age. The authors suggest that the development of dog breeds larger or smaller than ancestral gray wolves actually occurred through genetic mani[CENSORED]tion of the initial growth rate. The pressure to breed larger dogs has resulted in faster early growth velocity. Unfortunately, this means that instead of dedicating resources to general body maintenance and health, breeding for larger dogs emphasizes the use of bodily resources for rapid early growth, rather than using them to strengthen the immune system, repair the damaged DNA and improve resistance. The data shows that this is reflected in the fact that larger breeds are more susceptible to physical ailments after reaching their adult size, which is typically two years of age. Furthermore, the same mutations that increase body size in dogs also lead to an increased risk of cancer. Basically, the data shows that the bigger the dog, the more likely it is to suffer from this disease. The researchers divided the causes of death into four categories: trauma or accident, infection, toxic exposure, and cancer. Their analysis revealed that deaths from trauma, infection or toxin were not related to the size of the dog. However, the chance of dying from cancer increased steadily with the dog's weight. Data shows that the bigger the dog, the more likely it is to get cancer Does that mean if you have a big dog you should start thinking about an epitaph? Not quite, actually. There is hope for them, however, in the longer term, as natural selection should allow larger dogs to develop better cancer defenses and longer lives at the expense of smaller litters. https://www.elconfidencial.com/alma-corazon-vida/2023-05-19/perros-grandes-viven-menos-esperanza-vida_3630375/
  13. There are few hot hatchbacks with as much tradition as the Volkswagen Polo GTI. It has been on the market uninterrupted for a quarter of a century, always following in the footsteps of its older brother, the Golf GTI. And precisely now it's time to celebrate that 25-year milestone with a special edition that wants to live up to it. It has been called Volkswagen Polo GTI Edition 25 and has practically all the equipment available in the model, as well as some specific details to make its exclusivity clear. So much so that only 2,500 units of the model will be made, which will go on sale this summer. It is announced from a price of 35,205 euros in Germany, a rate that could vary in our country and that is high due to its exceptional nature. It drinks from that tradition that began with the Polo GT in 1979 and increased with the arrival of the GTI version in 1998. Just 3,000 units were made of that first copy that sold out quickly, although the truth is that it has little to do with the current beyond being a limited copy. Based on the MQB platform, the current Volkswagen Polo GTI carries the 2.0 TSI four-cylinder gasoline engine. It reaches up to 207 hp and 320 Nm of torque, always with front-wheel drive and with a seven-speed DSG automatic transmission. With it, it achieves interesting features, such as acceleration from 0 to 100 km/h in 6.5 seconds. In the Edition 25, the sports suspension with special adjustments to lower its height by 15 mm and also the XDS electronic self-locking differential to improve its capabilities come standard. Among the specific equipment of this model you can see details in black such as the 18-inch Adelaide wheels, the roof or the mirrors. Also some red accents such as the decorative strips or the brake calipers. There is no lack of the own design of the grill grid or the chrome exhaust outlets. In the passenger compartment it continues with the sports seats with leather upholstery in those two previously named colors, in addition to some decorative moldings and the numbered plate. The sports steering wheel bears the "25" logo and comes as standard with virtually every system available on the model. This means that the Volkswagen Polo GTI Edition 25 has the Matrix LED IQ.Light headlights, the IQ.Drive assistance package with Travel Assist or the Ready2Discover multimedia system with an 8-inch screen. It is one of the few things that can be improved, as two others are optionally available. https://noticias.coches.com/noticias-motor/volkswagen-polo-gti-edition-25/491803
  14. The German team equalized at home (0-0) and with a 1-0 aggregate in favor of the Italians, they cut their way in the second most important UEFA club tournament. Bayer Leverkusen's Ecuadorian Piero Hincapié was eliminated in the Europa League semifinal after losing the series against Roma, which has Portuguese José Mourinho on the bench. The Italian team managed to defend the 1-0 win in the first leg in Germany, a global that after an insipid match this Thursday was enough to qualify for the final. The Romans arrived at the second leg with the advantage that the goal of the young Edoardo Bove gave them in the first leg, and they resisted the pressure of coach Xavi Alonso's pupils, showing themselves without cracks in the defensive facet, with a defense of five, reinforced with the Serbian destroyer midfielder Nemanja Matic. The departure due to injury at the end of the first half of Leonardo Spinazzola, replaced by Nicola Zalewski, did not disturb the Roman defensive wall. At 60, Mourinho will play his seventh European final on May 31, plus the three European Super Cup finals he lost. It is true that he will not have the prestige of his Champions League titles with Porto in 2004 and Inter Milan in 2010 (plus a final loss to Chelsea in 2008), but if he wins he could give his team a ticket. to play the next Champions League. Doing it via Serie A seems more complex for Roma, with six points less than fourth place with three dates to go in the championship. Roma will face the winner of the clash between Sevilla and Juventus on May 31 in Budapest. https://www.eluniverso.com/deportes/futbol/bayer-leverkusen-de-piero-hincapie-se-queda-a-las-puertas-de-la-final-de-la-europa-league-nota/
  15. The World Health Organization (WHO) has published a new guideline on non-sugar sweeteners on Monday, in which it advises against their use to control body weight or reduce the risk of non-communicable diseases. The recommendation is based on the results of a systematic review of the available evidence, which suggests that the use of non-sugar sweeteners does not confer any long-term benefit in reducing body fat in adults or children. The results of the review also suggest that there may be potential undesirable effects of its long-term use, such as increased risk of type 2 diabetes, cardiovascular disease, and adult mortality. "Substitution of free sugars with non-sweetened sweeteners does not help with long-term weight control. People should consider other ways to reduce their intake of free sugars, such as eating foods with natural sugars, such as fruit, or non-sugar foods and beverages. sugary", declared the Director of Nutrition and Food Safety of the Organization. Francesco Branca has further clarified that these types of sweeteners are not essential dietary components and have no nutritional value. "People should totally reduce sweetness from the diet to improve their health from an early age," he added. Products affected The recommendation includes the results of studies conducted with adults, children, and pregnant women. However, the evaluation of the effects of sweeteners in people with pre-existing diabetes has not been incorporated as this was outside the scope of this guideline according to the authors. On the other hand, the document refers to all synthetic and natural or modified non-nutritive sweeteners that are not classified as sugars and are found in manufactured foods and beverages, or are sold plain for consumers to add to foods and beverages. Common non-nutritive sweeteners include acesulfame K, aspartame, advantame, cyclamates, neotame, saccharin, sucralose, stevia, and stevia derivatives. According to the authors, there are certain products that contain these types of sweeteners that would not be affected by this guideline, such as toothpastes, skin creams and medicines, nor those that contain low-calorie sugars and sugar alcohols, which contain calories and therefore, they are not considered non-nutritive sweeteners. Conditional recommendation Following the Organization's processes for developing guidelines, the recommendation has been classified as conditional. This means that policy decisions based on it may require discussion depending on the specific national context, which may be linked, for example, to the extent of consumption in different age groups. According to the WHO, the guideline has received this classification because the link observed in the evidence between sweeteners and disease outcomes could be affected by the baseline characteristics of the study participants and the complicated patterns of use of sweeteners. Improve diet With the aim of improving the quality of the diet and reducing the risk of noncommunicable diseases throughout the world, the World Health Organization has developed and plans to publish a series of recommendations on healthy diets, among which is the guideline distributed this Monday. The recommendations are directed at politicians at the national and local level; managers and non-governmental organizations of programs related to nutrition and the prevention of non-communicable diseases; healthcare professionals; nutrition scientists and researchers; educators; and representatives of the food industry. https://news.un.org/es/story/2023/05/1521027
  16. Two new human skeletons have been found in the ruins of Pompeii, the ancient Roman city south of Naples that was buried by the eruption of the Vesuvius volcano in 79 AD. The skeletal remains were recovered in recent excavations at Pompeii's House of Chaste Lovers and are believed to belong to two men aged at least 55. The director of the Archaeological Park of Pompeii, Gabriel Zuchtriegel, reported that both did not die from volcanic ash but from the collapse of buildings, noting that fragments of walls were found between their fractured bones. The quake is believed to have knocked down a wall in the room where they were seeking refuge. One of the skeletons had one arm raised, which "perhaps alludes to the tragic image of a futile attempt to protect itself from falling masonry," the Pompeii Archaeological Park added in a statement released on Tuesday. "They probably died due to multiple traumas caused by the collapse," the park said. The skeletons were found lying on their sides with their legs bent and one of them was wearing a ring on his left hand. Traces of what is believed to be a bundle of cloth were also found next to one of the victims, containing bead necklaces and coins. Inside the room were an amphora and a collection of bowls and jugs, while an adjacent room contained a homely shrine in the form of a fresco and a narrow bathroom with a toilet. A great tragedy Earthquakes before and during the eruption, as documented in the letters of the Roman author Pliny the Younger, had numerous fatalities. "Among the causes of death, the collapse of buildings, in some cases due to the earthquakes that accompanied the eruption, proved to be a lethal threat," the park said. "Modern excavation techniques help us better understand the hell that completely destroyed the city of Pompeii for two days and killed many inhabitants: children, women and men," Zuchtriegel said. The Italian Ministry of Culture estimates that "at least 15-20% of the po[CENSORED]tion" of Pompeii, then about 13,000 people, was buried under ash, pumice and dust. The Vesuvius eruption was equivalent to the explosion of numerous atomic bombs at once. Over the past two and a half centuries, archaeologists have recovered the remains of more than 1,300 victims. Intense archaeological activity The Pompeii site, which was not discovered until the 16th century, has seen a recent boom in archaeological activity aimed at halting years of decay and neglect, thanks largely to a €105 million (US) EU-funded project. $115.6 million) recently completed. Italian Culture Minister Gennaro Sangiuliano stated that conservation efforts and archaeological research will continue. "The discovery of these two skeletons shows us that we still have to study a lot, do more excavations to get out everything that is still [hidden] in this immense treasure," he said. In the House of Chaste Lovers, colorful frescoes and the skeletons of mules that worked the millstones for grain have been discovered in the past. https://www.bbc.com/mundo/noticias-65641942
  17. Strauss Zelnick, CEO of Take-Two, has assured that these new versions of the next-generation consoles probably exist, but they will not affect the company's business too much. For some time there has been talk of the possibility of seeing both the PS5 Pro and a new version of Xbox Series in the future, that is, reviews of the next-generation consoles from Sony and Microsoft in the style of what happened in the last generation. with PS4 Pro and Xbox One X. There is more and more information pointing to it, and that is why different industry executives are beginning to be asked about the subject. The revisions of these consoles will not affect your business, according to the CEO of Take-Two One of those who has spoken about this very specific issue has been Strauss Zelnick, CEO of Take-Two, the multinational known for having other prestigious video game companies such as Rockstar or 2K in its portfolio. In an interview with Games Industry on the occasion of the presentation of the latest financial results, he has assured that we will probably see these revisions. Of course, he has not shared any more details, although he explains that, from his perspective, he does not believe that the launch of these new versions will affect the company's business too much. They will not leave aside Nintendo Switch Likewise, Zelnick has also referred to Take-Two's plans with Nintendo Switch. "Yes, we will continue to support it", he has commented in relation to supporting this platform. It should be noted that these statements are made despite rumors of a new Nintendo console in the short term and that recently one of his games, Midnight Suns, has canceled its Switch version. In addition, the CEO of the company points out that they will also continue to launch games for previous generation consoles as long as their audience does not decrease to a point of no return. As we say, these words come within the framework of the presentation of Take-Two's most recent financial results, where the company has revealed that they will launch "several innovative titles" in fiscal year 2025, which corresponds to the period from 1 from April 2024 to March 31, 2025. This, of course, has once again triggered speculation about whether we will end up seeing Grand Theft Auto VI on the market during those months. https://www.3djuegos.com/ps5/noticias/ps5-pro-nueva-xbox-series-radar-despues-ultimas-declaraciones-duenos-gta
  18. Alex Seropian, founder of the Industrial Toys studio who was working on the Electronic Arts mobile game, points to the poor reception and rule changes from Apple Earlier this year we learned of the announcement of the cancellation of Battlefield Mobile, an adaptation of the Electronic Arts shooter franchise to mobile devices that finally did not see the light of day (it only carried out a testing phase), unlike the one that was also closed. Apex Legends Mobile, which was available on iOS and Android. Alex Seropian, founder of Industrial Toys, which is the study responsible for this adaptation that made EA disappear, has explained in Mobilegamer.biz the reasons why Battlefield Mobile was wiped off the map by the company. Most surprising of all, he takes aim at Battlefield 2042, explaining that the poor reception of Battlefield 2042 due to its disastrous launch was a key factor in the closure of the project. "During the last year several things happened. Battlefield 2042 was released and the reaction from the community was not good. This caused a lot of introspection," explains Seropian, who assured that before that everything was going well because the genre of mobile shooters were growing and they had a big IP on their hands. Apple was also responsible But the founder of the studio, who also ended up shutting down along with a team of 120 people, not only blames the disastrous launch of Battlefield 2042, but also Apple: "Apple also changed the IDFA rules [paid distribution], meaning it made user acquisition much more expensive. Because of that, organic growth was affected by the 2042 launch, and paid distribution was became quite a bit more expensive per the IDFA rules". Finally, Alex Seropian also slides that the closure of Apex Legends Mobile also had something to do. "Then Apex came out and I don't know if EA has explained why they canceled it, if it was for economic reasons or whatever, but without me saying anything you could fill in the blanks, I guess," he explains, to end by making it clear that, according to him, Electronic Arts did not have confidence in the project nor did it invest enough time and money after the testing phase. https://www.3djuegos.com/juegos/battlefield-mobile/noticias/desastre-battlefield-2042-provoco-desaparicion-otro-juego-ea-hay-otro-gran-responsable-cierre-battlefield-mobile
