Welcome!

After yesterday's launch of the new AMD Radeon RX 5500 XT graphics card, NVIDIA is not going to cross its arms. This company expects that, as of next week, a price reduction of some graphic card model will be made. While trying to increase the availability of other models. Which are now more difficult to locate in the retail market. The launch of the new AMD Radeon RX 5500 XT graphics cards has become an excellent opportunity that this brand has lost. To make a difference with the NVIDIA catalog and its input range. Yes, it is true that the new graphics are as powerful as the GeForce GTX 1650 SUPER in most games. When they are not clearly superior to these. But their prices are too high. Keep in mind that the RX 5500 XT has arrived to compete with a graphic that, from the beginning, was already known to have an excessive price. But, the price of the new AMD Radeon models, come into direct conflict with the NVIDIA GeForce GXT 1660. Since many of Radeon's 8 GB models cost well over 200 euros. But they do not yield, nor by now, similar to the GeForce GTX 1660. Which are the models superior to the GTX 1650 SUPER. NVIDIA will lower the GeForce GTX 1660 to 200 euros Since AMD has made things so easy for them, NVIDIA hasn't thought much about it. And he plans to lower the price of his GeForce GTX 1660 range to 200 euros (currently around 230 euros). While the GTX 1650 SUPER will go down to 175 euros. And, above all, the manufacturer intends to increase the number of units that are available from this latest graphic model. Since, apparently, it is a model that is being quite demanded by users and its units in the market are scarce. In theory, what we are commenting should begin to be implemented from next week. We might ask why AMD Radeon has decided to put these prices on its graphs. And, in all likelihood, the answer would be that the company still has many Radeon RX 570, 580 and 590 models in the market. And, in all likelihood, they want their partners to get rid of them. If they had put the cheapest prices, it would have been difficult to do this for them. Since many of these models can currently be purchased for less than 200 euros. Even so, it is clear that this has been a golden opportunity that AMD has lost, to make a difference again with NVIDIA. They already did well once the play, when they presented the Radeon RX 5700 and 5700 XT. But this time, we are very afraid that the tables will turn. And NVIDIA will continue to be the brand that dominates the entire range of PC graphics cards.

WHAT IS IT ?: It is a special series of the Chevrolet SUV for Segment B (boy). It complements the offer of the Tracker 2017, which has been marketed since March 2017 (read review). It was developed on the basis of the Tracker Premier 2WD. It arrives imported from Mexico and is already on sale in our market. MECHANICAL: There is no news. It retains the same gasoline engine 1.8 ltros (140 hp and 178 Nm). Five-speed manual gearbox, front-wheel drive. THE MOST: A Tracker for black fans. Follow the line of the S10 Midnight, launched in July 2018. THE LESS: In markets like Brazil, this Midnight Tracker is offered with the 1.4 turbo engine (150 hp and 250 Nm). THE DETAIL: Like the FWD Premier Tracker, it comes standard with dual front airbags, ABS brakes and stability control (ESP). The Midnight version adds 18-inch black wheels, front logo with the Chevrolet Bow in black (called “Black Bow Tie”), front grille darkened with chrome accents, OnStar system and MyLink system (with 7-inch touch screen, with Android Auto and Apple Carplay). PRICES: 1,259,900 pesos. The price is discounted for the launch, for an unspecified time. That is why it costs 7,300 pesos less than the Tracker Premier FWD on which it is based (list price of 1,267,200 pesos). Three year warranty or 100 thousand kilometers.

A couple of years ago, the American writer Froma Harrop, a regular contributor to The New York Times or Harper's Bazaar, put our prejudices to the test with an article on the RealClear political information website entitled "A Nobel for Cosmetic Sciences?" . In his lines, not without a certain irony, he commented: "What a boring world that is not able to imagine that there are advances in a blush ...". Already in November 2019, a morning stained with that gray of postcard with which Paris so often receives us, Bruno Bavouzet, president of LVMH Recherche, the division that encompasses all the scientific research of the French conglomerate, is scrambled into place Listen to such a hypothesis about cosmetics. "No, no, no ... I feel very proud that my team is able to find relevant findings for basic research. But what we do, interesting as it is, is not going to change the world." Next to him, Dr. Knut Woltjen, right hand of medical researcher Shinya Yamanaka, asserts that he won the Nobel Prize in Physiology and Medicine in 2012 for his work with stem cells. Woltjen and Bavouzet have just participated in the conference that welcomes the Cell Energy line of Capture Totale, Dior's rejuvenating treatment, devised from the shared study. The history of this collaboration starts at the Center for Research and Application of iPS Cells (CiRA), in Kyoto (Japan), where Woltjen and Yamanaka (its director) work, and the place to which the research team of the cosmetic firm moved. Bruno Bavouzet relates: "We were developing skin models when we discovered that the stem cells that compose it [few but precious: because despite being only 0.2%, its activation is vital for the good appearance of the dermis] no they have the same energy in someone in their 20s as in their 40s, something we found measuring the respiration of the mitochondria. And it was a surprise, because we thought this type of cell never changed. When we went to tell Professor Yamanaka, he immediately accepted the challenge of trying to understand it together. And in that we are ... " In addition to sharing basic research, CiRA lends its iPS (induced pluripotency) cell banks, that is, stem cells artificially generated from other cells and end up being able to become that of any type of tissue. "It is a resource that interests us a lot that is managed, because we have them classified by age, from 20 to 70 years, and to better understand each category also opens up new medical routes," notes Professor Woltjen, who sees no conflict in allying with a cosmetic brand, although the law does not require that these products conform to the evidence: "We had a talk at a very high scientific level. And there is a mutual research interest. It is the first time that CiRA collaborates with a European cosmetics company ". To stimulate the regenerating motor of stem cells in mature skin, Dior has used four floral species in its new line: Madagascar's longoza, Chinese peony, white lily and yellow jasmine. "It's about balancing a reduction in activity. But we don't touch or alter the stem cells, we don't play anything dangerous," says the director of LVMH. In turn, CiRA has opened the door to the first transplant with iPS cells, documented in Nature: ophthalmologist Masayo Takahashi recently confirmed the success of the retinal transplant he performed with this technique two years ago. Its potential is overwhelming and would be a revolution in regenerative medicine, which has just begun. And that is how cosmetics and science intersect, separate, run in parallel and meet again.

The US government announced Friday sanctions against two businessmen and their companies for allegedly participating in money laundering activities in favor of the Lebanese Shiite militia party Hezbollah. The State Department has detailed that the sanctions have been imposed against Nazem Said Ahmed and Salé Assi, who operate from Lebanon and the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC) and would have "generated" tens of millions of dollars for Hezbollah. "These designations underscore the point at which Hezbollah and its affiliates participate in illegal economic activities that prioritize the economic interests of terrorist groups over those of the Lebanese people," said the Department. In this regard, the secretary of the treasury, Steven Mnuchin, has stated that “Hezbollah continues to use seemingly legitimate businesses as screen companies to obtain and launder funds in countries such as DRC, where they can use bribery and political connections to obtain unfair commercial access and evade taxes. ” "This Administration will continue to take measures against those who finance Hezbollah, such as Nazem Said Ahmad and Salé Assi, who have used money laundering and tax evasion to finance terrorist plots and finance their own lavish life trains while the Lebanese people suffer." , Mnuchin stressed. Ahmad, who has an important collection of weapons, is considered by Washington as one of the main donors of funds to Hezbollah, money that he obtains through his ties to "the trade in‘ blood diamonds ’." For his part, Assi would have laundered money through Ahmad's diamond businesses and given financial coverage to Adham Husain Tabaja, against whom the United States imposed sanctions in the past for delivering funds to the militia party. The United States considers Hezbollah a terrorist group, which has the support of Iran and has great weight in Lebanese political life.

AMD has just introduced its new Radeon RX 5500 XT graphics card model. The new model is intended to compete with the NVIDIA input range, with its GeForce GTX 1650 and GTX 1650 SUPER models. Which are the ones that are dominating the market entry range right now. And thanks to the attractive price with which they will be released, we believe that they will be able to do so fully. AMD Radeon wants to position its new Radeon RX 5500 XT graphics card, as the natural substitute for the old Radeon RX 480. Therefore, it is clear that the company is looking at the mid-range of graphics cards. And a model of this range should be able to move games with ease at 1080p resolution. Which means that, currently, it should have a performance quite similar to the current Radeon RX 580. The specifications of the new AMD Radeon RX 550 XT graphics card are as follows: These specifications are practically identical to those of the AMD Radeon RX 5500 that had already been submitted just over a month ago. Where they vary is in the game frequency, which rises from 1670 MHz to 1717 MHz. Although the Boost frequency between both models is maintained. Interestingly, it is the consumption that descends, from 150 W of the OEM model, to 130 W of the new Radeon RX 5500 XT. The Radeon RX 5500 XT is up to 30% more powerful than the GTX 1650 SUPER As we have already mentioned, AMD Radeon wants to position this new graphics card model, as the direct competition to the NVIDIA input models. This means competing against the GeForce GTX 1650 and GTX 1650 SUPER. And it seems that, at least for the figures provided by this brand, the new AMD Radeon RX 5500 XT would be able to do it without any problem. From what you can see in the graphs (which, you know you always have to take with a healthy dose of skepticism). The new RX 5500 XT 4GB are more than capable of beating the NVIDIA model. And by quite wide margins in some games. Like 15% of Gears 5, 20% of Battlefield 5. Or, even the 30% difference you get in the game World War Z. These performance differences in some games would put them in competition with NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1660 rather . As you have seen previously, there will be two models of these new RX 5500 XT: one with 4 GB of GDDR6, the other with 8 GB of GDDR6. In both cases the frequency of the VRAM will be the same: 14 GBPS. As you can see in the previous capture, depending on the game, the presence of double VRAM memory allows extra performance. If we consider that this is being achieved with a 128-bit memory bus, it is clear that AMD Radeon have worked hard to optimize the texture load in the graphics VRAM. Remember that the RX 480 graphics all had a 256-bit bus. Like the RX 580. Finally, the price at which the new AMD Radeon RX 5500 XT graphics cards will go on sale will be 184.90 euros for the 4 GB model of GDDR6. While the 8 GB model will cost something more expensive, reaching up to 217 euros. Seeing the prices of the GTX 1650 and 1650 SUPER, AMD Radeon has perfectly positioned its new graphics card in the market. You can read our analysis of this new graphics card tonight.

The reason is that those between 36 and 37 degrees protect us from infections. Different studies have shown that around 36.7 ° C is the most efficient temperature: body heat prevents us from being infected by viruses, bacteria and fungi with the lowest possible energy consumption. It is an adaptive mechanism. Millions of years ago there were no animals called "warm blooded." All living things had a body temperature that changed depending on the environment, they are called poikilotherms. But natural evolution selected some beings capable of regulating their own temperature regardless of what was in the environment and keeping it practically constant. It didn't matter whether it was summer or winter and that the ambient temperature varied greatly, their organisms remained at a constant temperature. These living beings are called homeotherms, also known as "warm blooded." Among vertebrates, birds and mammals - like humans - are homeotherms and reptiles, amphibians and fish are poikilotherms. In the nineteenth century, body temperature was studied in many people to find the average and found to be 36.5 ° C. Although more recent studies have set that average at 36.7 ° C. It has also been discovered that the fork between 36.5 ° C and 36.7 ° C is the most efficient temperature for humans since the body does not need to spend excessive energy in producing that heat and, on the other hand, it is the one it is possible that fungi do not attack our body. It is true that if the temperature rises, the attack of fungi and other microorganisms would decrease even more, but at the same time, this increase in body heat would be excessive for the body because it would spend too much on producing heat. The heat is produced thanks to the foods that provide us with the energy that allows the thermoregulatory mechanisms of our body to function Keep in mind that heat is produced thanks to the food that provides us with the energy that allows the thermoregulatory mechanisms of our body to function. To have a higher temperature, we would need to eat more, we would probably need to be continuously feeding ourselves, which would not be viable. In order not to have to be eating all day and maintain a low risk of infections, the evolution of the human being has maintained its ideal temperature (from the energy and microbiological point of view) at an average of 36.7 ° C. But the increase in temperature does not only act as a protective mechanism against infections. It is shown that the hypothalamus, the area of the brain that is involved in the regulation of temperature, before certain stimuli begins to release a substance called interleukin 1, which causes an increase in temperature. It's like a warning to alert us that something is happening. And it is that when our body temperature rises we are bad, we can have sweats and that gives clues to know that something is happening to the body. Also in the opposite case, if the temperature drops, the circulation begins to malfunction, the blood vessels begin to close (a vasoconstriction occurs), you can put cold fingers, even blue in some people, and you start to shiver as defense mechanism to produce heat, among other effects. Although humans are homeothermal beings, it should be noted that the temperature is not completely constant Although humans are homeothermal beings, it should be noted that the temperature is not completely constant. It changes depending on sex, the time of day, age, the performance of physical exercise, the menstrual cycle of women or even when we eat. There are people who, after eating, depending on how their metabolism is regulated, may feel bloated and be very hot or feel more cold. In conclusion, if there is no disease that alters it, the average temperature of the human body will always move in an approximate range of 36.4 ° C to 37 ° C.

The defections in the Bolivarian National Armed Forces are alarming: only so far in 2019 the number reaches 6,000 Troop soldiers in a single component of the four that the military institution has. That is why the general commander of the Bolivarian National Guard (GNB), MG Fabio Enrique Zavarse Pabón, ordered that they be removed from the component. They are exactly 5,976 sergeants. That is to say that there are no lieutenants, captains, elders, lieutenant colonels, colonels or generals, so that figure grows like foam. The communication with which Zavarse disincorporates them is No. 47238, dated December 7 and does so arguing to safeguard public assets. "To ensure the timely, effective, effective and efficient administration of human resources." In addition, reinforce the fundamental pillars of the Armed Forces. “Having as a north to deposit in the members of the National Guard principles and values that must be maintained in military professional life acting with honesty, equity, decorum, loyalty, vocation of service, discipline, efficiency, effectiveness, responsibility, punctuality, sense of belonging , belonging and transparency ”. He considers that this professional troop “is in a diffuse state within the component despite the repeated call to normalize its condition. To date, the majority of military personnel in this situation have ignored the appeal of their natural commanders, creating an environment of disobedience and indiscipline affecting the legal interest of public heritage. ” Expresses that "these military unilaterally decided not to return to the units or units to which they are written." This is how he orders the separation of the Armed Forces from almost five thousand professional troop members of the National Guard. Is not legal To separate a member of the armed institution there must be a legal procedure. Commander Zavarse Pabón makes an important omission, because no one can be discharged or unincorporated, even in the absence, but there must be a decision of the Research Council in this case. He is repeating what Nicolás Maduro in degrading or expelling several officers from the Armed Forces as he has done repeatedly, without performing a prior legal procedure. The GNB General Commander conceals his decision by citing several articles. Here we transcribe the norms he quotes and none support the decision he made. Constitution of the Bolivarian Republic, which cites articles 2, 137 and 141. The 2 says that Venezuela constitutes a democratic and social State of Law and Justice. 137 says that the Constitution and the law will define the powers of the bodies that exercise the Public Power. And 141 expresses that the Public Administration is at the service of citizens, explaining what it is based on. In the case of the Organic Law of the Armed Forces, General Zavarse cited articles 1, 4 (apart 17) and 63. The 1 is the object of the Law. The 4 that are the functions of the FANB, expressed in the separate 17: "Participate in the protection of public heritage in any form of manifestation." And 63 determines the military hierarchy of the Professional Troop. The article citing the Organic Law of the Comptroller General of the Republic and the National Fiscal Control System, No. 35, refers to Internal Control to safeguard its resources. As for what he cited about the Organic Law of National Security, Article 5 states that "the State and society are jointly responsible for security and integral defense of the Nation ...". The 8 states that "the State must strengthen, through its governmental bodies, democratic institutions ...". And finally the Law against corruption, of which he cites articles 1, 13, 17 and 19. Starting from the fact that 1 is the object of said Law, 13 says that “public officials and employees are at the service of the State and not of any political or economic bias ... ” The 17 on the administration of public goods and resources. And 19 states that public officials and employees will act in accordance with the provisions of the law. When a legal or regulatory provision leaves a decision, measure or providence in its judgment or discretion, it must be sufficiently motivated and maintain due proportionality and adequacy with the assumption of fact and with the purposes of the rule, and comply with the procedures, requirements and formalities necessary for its validity and effectiveness ”. Military expelled Military expelled This is how the following number of sergeants are formally left out of the Armed Forces, broken down according to their hierarchy: SS Sergeant Supervisor: 11 SA Assistant Sergeant: 8 SM1 Sergeant Major First: 11 SM2 Sergeant Major of Second: 36. SM3 Sergeant Major of Third: 413. S1 First Sergeant: 2468. S2 Second Sergeant: 3026.

This engine is combined only with eight-speed automatic gearbox. The equipment and prices will be informed next week.

Intelligence fascinates. Many parents want their children to have high IQs and there are companies that still select their candidates based on diagnoses of this type. We were wrong. The intellectual quotient does not guarantee success and, much less, in complex environments such as the current ones, as demonstrated by endless research. Let's see what are the most widespread po[CENSORED]r beliefs and how studies end them. First erroneous belief: the intellectual quotient (CI) is accompanied by success. The first study that dismantles this correlation of ideas was carried out by Lewis Terman, a professor at Stanford University, in 1921. Terman became obsessed with identifying and recording the evolution of the most intelligent children in the United States. He reviewed the records of 250,000 primary and secondary students and selected the 1,470 with the highest IQ. In some cases they exceeded 200 points. To get an idea of the intellectual potential we must remember that the estimate of Einstein's intelligence is marked around 160. Terman called the group of students as The Termites because, in theory, they were going to eat the world. However, the results were not as expected. ADVERTISING After decades of careful monitoring of his termites, which he collected in his books Genetic studies of genius, Terman found that children, already adults, had not obtained the expected public notoriety or made significant contributions to society. It is true that among them there were two judges of higher courts, some prominent official, businessmen of some success ... but most had normal careers and some, even, had failed. The standard of living of Termites was high, but not as much as expected. Moreover, it seems that if he had chosen 1,470 children at random, they would have achieved similar results. Therefore, a very high IQ does not guarantee success. This is where the window of opportunity opens for most of us, who do not even reach the 200 points of CI. more entries in this blog Three mistakes we make when relating intelligence and success Women's self-esteem: a matter of age Three mistakes we make when relating intelligence and success Tell me how your boss behaves and I'll tell you what mentality he has Three mistakes we make when relating intelligence and success Four ways to generate positive emotions at home The second misconception is to think that the intellectual quotient is fixed. We believe that we play roulette when we are born. The ball falls into a number and from there we do not move. Interestingly, it was the creator of the concept of CI, Alfred Binet, who in the early twentieth century received a commission from the French Government to assess the children's ability to learn. The authorities were alarmed by the huge school failure. Binet carried out this work in collaboration with other experts and his conclusion was clear: the intellectual quotient changes and varies over time. It depends on education and other attitudes. However, years later the pattern was standardized and we fell into the error of turning it into the game of genetic roulette. Decades later it has been proven that the growth mentality or the abilities of teachers and educators influence the scores. Obviously, it does not seem that it can be duplicated, but the intellectual quotient can vary over time. Third mistaken belief: the intellectual quotient is sufficient to achieve significant success. Happiness does not depend on intelligence, but it does seem that to achieve certain relevant objectives you must have a minimum IQ. The po[CENSORED]tion average is 100 points, but to highlight, different authors suggest exceeding the threshold of 120. Others place the bar below, as Malcol Gladwell beautifully describes in his book Out of series. As we see, the IC does not guarantee significant success, which depends more on other factors such as creativity, emotional intelligence or the ability to manage the emotions that American psychologist Daniel Goleman po[CENSORED]rized. Success also depends on our abilities to find practical solutions to everyday problems, as José Antonio Marina proposed with his executive intelligence; or the strength of determination, which causes a person not to give up on their efforts. In summary, over a certain threshold in the IC, to succeed in life, emotional management skills, our strengths or our determination are much more important than intelligence itself. Extraordinary achievements are less due to talent than opportunity.

The celebrations of the voters of Alberto Fernández in the hours before the assumption of the new Argentine president allowed the appearance of the most frequent merchandising. Thus, since Monday afternoon and Tuesday morning, one of the products that attracted the most attention in the immediate vicinity of the Congress was the so-called "Peronist Sweet Bread". The food is sold at a modest price of 200 pesos and has images of the faces of Juan Domingo Perón, Eva Perón, Néstor Kirchner and Cristina Kirchner in golden cardboard boxes. In addition, each package has the phrase "Christmas Eve is of the poor, of the humble, of the shirtless since Christ, despised by the rich who closed all the doors, was born in a stable", which was enunciated by Avoid on the eve of Christmas 1950. The production and sale of Peronist Sweet Bread was in charge of the Federation of Workers "De la Economía Social" Ltda (FeTraES). It is an organization made up of recovered companies, labor cooperatives and producers of family farming and whose objective is to provide assistance to the most needy sectors. The work of FeTraES in recent months was divided between the distribution of gas bottles, the production and distribution of food, medical care for eye controls or the production or sale of furniture with sustainable material.
