Both GIGABYTE and PowerColor have finally unveiled their two water-passed models for the high-end graphics card. In the case of GIGABYTE this has focused on the NVIDIA range, specifically in its custom model for the RTX 2080 SUPER, while PowerColor has finally shown its RX 5700 XT Liquid Devil. What can we expect from both models? One of the curiosities of the GIGABYTE model is its name, since, possibly, it is one of the longest in history: GIGABYTE GeForce RTX 2080 SUPER GAMING OC Waterforce WB 8G, something that in the case of PowerColor does not occur, since They have been more direct with naming. GIGABYTE RTX 2080 SUPER GAMING OC Waterforce WB 8G This GIGABYTE is a model focused on the most demanding users and who obviously have custom liquid cooling. Its chip has been selected through the certification of the GIGABYTE line of technologies called Gauntlet, which ensures that these chips will have a greater overclocking potential. This system is nothing more than the typical binning but focused within the parameter line that GIGABYTE has for its GPUs. Like the AORUS models, this RTX 2080 SUPER Gaming OC Waterforce WB 8G (not to be confused) has a full cover block that will cool not only the GPU, but the VRM and VRAM, which will guarantee lower temperatures and a higher degree Overclocking It will have a customized backplate for the model, an RGB lighting system and a series of components already traditional within the Ultra Durable series of the brand, something characteristic in its premium models. Unfortunately, GIGABYTE has not disclosed information about the frequencies or which company has been responsible for manufacturing this block, although it seems that by its terminations it could be either EKWB or Bitspower. What the brand has revealed is that after three years of standard warranty it offers, if we register the graphics card on its website within 30 days after purchase, GIGABYTE will extend another year for such warranty free of charge. The teaser that unveiled the brand has finally been forgotten, since through Facebook the same company has shown one of the most anticipated Navi cards by users, the PowerColor RX 5700 XT Liquid Devil. As we intuited, the block is signed by EKWB and the PCB of its RED DEVIL model will be used, where together we can already imagine the overclock capabilities that we can achieve. The block itself is composed of an acrylic cover that will cover the entire PCB and that arrives with a novel design, covered by another kind of superimposed black cover where the card logo is appreciated. Apparently it will include RGB lighting and will be the first 7 nm graphics card that will arrive water cooled in the world. The company, as in the case of GIGABYTE, has not revealed frequencies, but some photos of what we can expect from this beauty have already been leaked.

Both are Ford. Both are Mondeo. Both cost the same. And, at the same time, they couldn't be more different. These two cars sold in the Argentine market represent the technological gap that the automobile industry is going through. In Autoblog we already tested the Mondeo Ecoboost (read review) and we also evaluated the Mondeo Hybrid (read review). However, now we are going to handle them again, although this time the focus will not be on the design, equipment, mechanics, dynamic behavior or performance. We explain all that in those other notes. It is time to talk about other types of numbers, which are often more defining when deciding on a purchase: costs. How much does a naphtero car cost in comparison to a similar one with hybrid mechanics? What is the value of maintenance? What happens to taxes and patents? The full report will be published next week.

The tyrants of the twentieth century demonstrated that they did not know the meaning of the word compassion, but they perfectly mastered the synonyms of horror and put them into practice with tenacity over the peoples they subdued. When did they become brutal murderers? Did your childhood have anything to do with that conversion? For psychology, childhood is a key moment in people's lives, in that vital phase the codes that explain later behaviors are hidden. This has been the research field of Véronique Chalmet, which has entered the black hole in which the horror of the past century was incubated: the childhood and adolescence of the most bloodthirsty oppressors. The French writer published last October The childhood of the dictators (Gedisa), a synthesis in which he addresses the first years of these executioners, who at some point lost their innocence even though it is difficult to imagine that innocence in them. MORE INFORMATION When the tyrants of the twentieth century were in shorts The tyrants at the table When the tyrants of the twentieth century were in shorts My father is a tyrant The writing of horror “No one is born a murderer. These dictators grew up in a coercive environment and when they reached power, they released all the accumulated hatred, ”says Chalmet, a regular contributor to po[CENSORED]r science magazines such as Ça m’intéresse, in response to questions from EL PAÍS made by email. "As Nelson Mandela said, people learn to hate," he adds. The French writer, an expert in psychology and criminology, believes that "many frustrations, traumas and physical and psychological violence generated a total loss of ethical values" in the childhood of these despots. Already as adults, "they didn't care about what was right or wrong - although they knew the difference perfectly - and this is a characteristic of psycho criminals," he explains. Chalmet had the opportunity to study sociopaths and psychopaths recently in a health institution for dangerous mentally ill and deduces many similarities in their behavior and that of tyrants. "In fact," continues the expert, "we are dealing with the same type of personalities. These abused children became insensitive adults unable to empathize. ” The main difference between anonymous sociopaths and tyrants would be, according to the author, in the achievement of power: “They seduced the people to get command and then kept terrorizing people. Hitler, Pol Pot or Mussolini were charismatic and perverse mani[CENSORED]tors. ” The childhood of the dictators shows some circumstances that these evil characters shared. Interestingly, these dictators had "a desperate need for protective parental models," Chalmet describes, "but they were trapped in dysfunctional families. For most of them, the father was absent or cruel. In front, the mother often hid or repressed her feelings, even if it meant leaving the child in a state of confusion, fear or loneliness. ” Here are some brushstrokes of the childhoods of some of these sinister characters: Stalin (1878-1953). During his tenure at the head of the Soviet Union, 20 million people lost their lives. Yosif Vissariónovich was so fragile when he was born that he was nicknamed Sosso (the delicate one). He also had an abnormality in his left foot. Soon he began to suffer the alcoholic fury that his father, drunk every day, unloaded in the form of beatings on him and his mother. At age 10 he went to the parish school of Gori, his town in Georgia, where he stood out as a child prodigy of the choir. He suffered two horse car abuses that left him with physical consequences. In 1894, he was admitted to the seminary of Tbilisi with the maternal illusion that he became a priest. There, the 16-year-old teenager discovered "an austere life, marked by prayer, corporal punishment and study" with the monks, and when he returned to his room, "the marks of the requisitions made in his absence [...], a police spirit and a well-oiled coercive system, ”describes Chalmet.Franco (1892-1975). It triggered a civil war in Spain that caused more than half a million deaths and tens of thousands of people shot in subsequent years. The son of a general mayor of the Navy of Ferrol (A Coruña), at birth he was a baby “enclenque” and during his growth he remained so thin that his mother, Pilar, called him Cerillita. In his childhood he avoided expressing himself in public because he was ashamed of his pouty voice. His devoted mother instilled in him the sacred value of the family, a concept that he later wanted to extrapolate totally to Spain. His father maintained extramarital affairs continuously and ended up recognizing a Filipino boy three years older than Franco. Finally, in 1907, the father abandoned his wife and children and went to Madrid. The self-conscious teenager never forgave him and never saw him again.

After completing the ticket to the final of the Argentine Cup, the press conference of Marcelo Gallardo post victory of River 2-0 against Estudiantes de Caseros had a lot of relief. For the duty fulfilled but, above all, because the horizon was cleared to target the most desired target: the definition of the Copa Libertadores against Flamengo on November 23 in Lima. "We had been playing quite often and we repeated many players, this break comes barbaric to clean the head and face the final with everything," said the coach, 43. “Unconsciously the players feel and see that they have something very important to play in ten days and automatically like we lose some game. Beyond that it was important to classify another final. It was a complex game to play, especially mentally. I rescue the result and we go back to a final, ”continued the Doll. The crossing before the Pincha de Caseros left some injured. Enzo Pérez suffered a shoulder trauma with sprain clavicular acromium. “He ended up with a sore shoulder, which doctors tell me is nothing in importance to worry about here in ten days. You will be done control studies more than anything. You don't have to worry about the account anymore, ”he said of a vital footballer in the structure and position of the team. Matías Suárez, meanwhile, did not go to the bank because of muscular fatigue. "I took care of him because he was one of the players that came with some problems, I was to play, but I tried to give him rest so that he reached the final well," he deactivated another scare. "It is an important team. I don't want to analyze their game yesterday, because they can analyze ours today or Central's and it can be a mistake. We are going to face a very good rival, where the advantage we both have is we have the same chances of winning the final. We are very good and similar teams in terms of performance and quality of players. River's "mental role" “The mental role also plays in this kind of games, we will see who supports better. It is not easy to reach a Cup final, it has a lot of merit. Getting to play three Copa deliverables finals and a semifinal has a lot of merit. Talk about a great effort and the spirit of competitiveness of this group. It does not relax and year after year we try to be protagonists in the Copa Libertadores ”. The date of the final of the Argentine Cup “It was scheduled for 27, not confirmed. I didn't get the confirmation of the Argentine Cup. I imagine, since we are going to play on 23 with a much longer trip than Santiago, surely the organizers will have the chance to reverbe to play a little later ”. The "downturn" before the final of the Liberators “Our last games may not have been the best performers. It has to do with having several games, which are all important if we want to fight or go for everything. We need energy, clarity and focus, and we could achieve it so far. In the Super League we lost points that we regret today, but I am very happy with what the players have given so far. ” He praised Homemade Students "This game was very difficult, against a rival with a lot of enthusiasm." The key to this River that goes through everything “Work, commitment and not relax. Take advantage of this good dynamic that the club has achieved and continue to insist; You do not know how much time will pass to relive this stage, and when you have it you have to hug it and keep trying. You can win or lose, but be there in the permanent fight ... This year we add a plus that is to stay competitive in the league too, that gives us reasons to continue. ”

V.1 text and effect -
I must be one of the oldest Autoblog readers and I know C.C. personally, although he still did not invite me to eat roast in the Republic of Béccar (Editorial Note: “ups!”). During some exchanges for WhatsApp, I told him that I was going to Italy to see Charles and his Ferrari win in the Holy Land. And I told him that he would take advantage of the trip to give me the pleasure of touring everything that included Italian cars, including Pagani Automobili. DC He threatened me that if I didn't make a note with a practical guide to visit the Horacio Pagani Museum, which opened in December 2017, he would give me a direct ticket to the Planet of Poochie. The reality is that, taking out the fact that one has to be in San Cesario sul Panaro on a Tuesday in September at two in the afternoon, everything is very easy and everything can be done in a few steps. You just have to make the reservation of the visit to the factory on the website, with the chosen day. They will send you an email with the language options they have for that day and you just have to answer which of the options is the most convenient for you. There was no Spanish and it is much simpler to understand English than Italian, so I chose that option. During the reservation they will validate your data and you can choose to pay on the spot on the day of the visit. I opted for that option, for the doubts that he could not introduce me. This is a difference from other museums, such as Ferrari or Lamborghini, where the entry is valid for one year. The entrance, which includes visiting the Horacio Pagani Museum and touring the factory, costs 50 euros per adult. It is not cheap, but after seeing it I tell you it is worth it. I made the reservation six months in advance, as soon as I had more or less armed the trip. For the number of people who go and that are only two visits per day, I suggest booking in advance. It cannot be reached and hooked at the moment. This was explained to me at the reception. THE MUSEUM I had the visit scheduled for 3:30 p.m., but I arrived an hour before and after signing up I toured the Museum. It is not a large museum, but complete. It has all the history of Pagani represented and a few cars of its two models: Zonda and Huayra. You can admire every detail and take all the photos you want, because you have them in centimeters and with all the entrails in sight, to enjoy. All they ask is that you don't touch anything. And nobody touches anything. At the agreed time, they make you leave cameras, cell phones and backpacks in the lockers that are at the entrance and the formal visit begins. First, touring the Museum and telling you the whole story of Pagani, since Horacio was a child. The guide, who only worked for two months at Pagani Automobili and had not yet climbed on any one to walk, told us everything with a clarity and sympathy that surprised me. He told details of each of the exposed cars, serial numbers, fancy name of that particular car, technical features with luxury of details, and so on. On display, there were the Formula 4 that Horacio designed and built. A Zonda “La Nonna”, a Zonda S 7.3, a Zonda F Coupé, a Zonda F Roadster, a Zonda Cinque Roadster, a Zonda R, a Huayra and Mercedes-AMG engines in several versions. The Sulky carbon fiber racing that was manufactured at the plant, which is hung on the wall, is also exposed. The models are also shown in 1: 5 with the personal annotations of Horacio, to modify the design. FACTORY Once we have traveled the Museum, we enter a hall to the factory. In that corridor, through some small windows, we see a red Huayra, in the final adjustment phase, almost ready for delivery. This corridor leads to the main ship of the factory. There are all the stations of the assembly of a Pagani: chassis, the sets of front and rear suspensions, engine and box, interior, dashboard, doors, and so on. Each of these stations only has the parts of that car that is being mounted. There are no stocks of parts in the warehouses and what is in the manufacturing process goes directly to the assembly. The delivery period of the Pagani is two years, since the formal order is made. After touring the assembly stations of the car, we move on to the production area of the carbon fiber parts. From the chassis to the door handles are made of this material. Some compounds vary and have combinations with kevlar and titanium, depending on the requirement of the piece. The same goes for the thicknesses. During this part of the visit they gave us samples of different components at different stages of completion and it is surprising how light the pieces are and the degree of completion they have. On the first floor is the upholstery and interior area, where everything is done on site, in an artisanal way. One detail: all the parts of the car have the serial number of the car. Up to the hood logo. So, if they steal it, you have no choice but to send CONCLUSION The visit ends again at the entrance of the Museum, where there is also the merchandising sales hall, with prices that scare even the owners of the Pagani, so I just dedicated myself to look. I left a funny anecdote for last. While we were in full didactic talk, my son tells me: "Look at that Ferrari that happened!" I replied: "I'm not interested in Ferrari now ..." When we go out, he shows me a red Ferrari F12TdF, which was parked at the factory door. It was the personal Ferrari of Capo, by Horacio. He wanted to kill me. Just thinking that I could cross it in the factory lobby made me [CENSORED] in Arameo. And now yes: send me to the Planet of Poochie.

"To be able to work you have to have a roof. And have food. If you are not rested and have not eaten, you have no energy," explains Manuel, a Madrid man who does not turn 40 and who badly lived a few weeks on the street. He also says that he only slept three weeks in a park. Now he lives in a shelter. "What I want is to have a stable job. That would mean having a stable economy and a roof and table for every day. I want to: I want to live. That will be my victory," he says. MORE INFORMATION Breaking the cycle of poverty Nobody homeless The fish you eat and inequality Manuel, like so many others, is condemned to survive. He repeats that he falls into homelessness and that in three days, that trip may have no return. "It depends on the time. In summer, with lighter clothes, it is less hard. But imagine in winter, with cold and ... you have it on; nothing more." ADVERTISING inRead invented by Teads His story speaks of the reality of poverty, a journey whose cycle is more than difficult to leave. "Day 1 without a house. Start the day, start walking, get food in a social canteen ... You walk, you walk, the night falls and you look for a place to sleep. You pretend whole and the next day, you get up and ... where do you clean yourself? In a bar? Bad: they look at you badly and you start, unintentionally, to lose hygiene and encouragement. And you are left alone, more and more alone. Then, you talk to someone and you interact more than with other people without a home and create a closed circle of friendship. And another day. And another. And another. And more isolated and you see that you have nothing, only reality, which says that you do not come out easily, "he says. He has just finished a job as a warehouse boy and hopes to be called for the Christmas campaign. The discontinuity in the work and the precariousness continue being, next to the lack of access to housing, the main limitation so that Manuel reaches "his victory". Miguel Ángel, 51, also from the capital, lives with a family who pays rent for a room: 250 euros per month. Now he works as a cleaner. It is almost 'mileurist', he says, but when he does not have that landline he knows how to survive with 380 euros, those of a subsidy he receives for a 60% disability; A money that counts you lose when you clean. I bring their stories here to talk about inequality and poverty even for those who work. The two today have minimal needs met, but "poverty," underlines the United Nations, is an urgent human rights problem and is both the cause and consequence of human rights violations, as it is characterized by multiple and interconnected violations of human rights. civil, political, economic, social and cultural rights. " Reducing poverty and eradicating it is therefore an obligation of all societies. And do not go to remote sites: inequality in Spain grows, as do the number of users who come to our centers every day (dining rooms, flats and employability centers for those who suffer most). In Spain, as published in January Oxfam Intermón in its report Inequality 1, Equal Opportunities 0, "last year there were an increase of 16,500 households in which no income entered, reaching 617,000." And there, as always, those who suffer most are the segments of the most vulnerable po[CENSORED]tion: women, migrants and children. According to Oxfam Intermón, last year there were an increase of 16,500 households that did not enter any type of income, reaching 617,000 in Spain. At this point again it is important to go and look for the gender perspective. Because they are more invisible, but they are still poor and exclusion is especially primed in them (with or without a home). This is demonstrated by the data published recently by the INE. They show that almost a third of women between 16 and 30 are at risk of poverty in Spain. That is why policies that break this cycle of inequality and provide the necessary opportunities for equality are necessary. It is necessary that the work is not precarious and is a guarantee of a decent life. We need that the National Poverty Eradication Strategy be permanently on the political agenda, be provided with budgets for its development and constitute a political commitment to which social entities also join. From Luz Casanova we look for situations such as Manuel and Miguel Ángel to be reversed, through accommodation and the employment program, which accompanies access to work and training to improve opportunities. Julia Almansa is director of the Luz Casanova Foundation, which works mainly with homeless people and women and minors victims of gender violence.

Finally, Mauricio Macri will not sign for now the decree that establishes the transfer of the protected witness protection program to the judicial orbit. It happens that in the last hours members of the judicial table of the national government heard some objections raised by authorities of different organs of Justice that indicated that the text could be challenged by some technical shortcomings. In particular, they argue that assuming custody of defendants and witnesses whose criminal responsibilities have to be tried in the same area would not be the most convenient. They also say that the program requires the intervention of the security forces and for that they require attributions that they do not have today. Similarly, there are questions about the budget needed to finance the initiative. Infobae agreed to the text of the decree that the government intended to publish tomorrow in the Official Gazette, something that will not happen in the end. In its 6th article, it sti[CENSORED]tes that “all the assets, assets and assets affected to the National Witness and Imputed Protection Program” must be transferred to the Magistracy Council, for the exclusive use of the Program. On the other hand, in Article 4, the Chief of Staff is empowered to “carry out the budgetary restructuring that may be necessary to meet compliance with this (decree) until the General Budget is approved”. And in article 5 that “the necessary resources (finally) will be included in the General Budget for the National Administration with imputation to the budget program 'Justice of Cassation' of the Council of the Magistracy, from the year following the date of this act " The outgoing President seeks to ensure that the program continues under an authority independent of the political power of the day. Last night, when the first versions of the decree emerged, Alberto Fernández said in social networks that he was never consulted about this initiative. Among the fundamentals used by the administration of Cambiemos in the text that is under review by Minister Germán Garavano, he explains that the Program “for the first time incorporated people who provided information in judicial investigations related to crimes that would have been committed in the exercise of the public function from the National Executive Power ”and that - that is why -“ could generate the incongruity that the design of the security plans with respect to the witnesses and accused under the care of the Program is in charge of those who depend hierarchically and functionally of people involved in such judicial investigations. ” It even recognizes that “recently, the protected persons themselves, expressing uncertainty about the future development of their security plans and their continuity within the Program, a circumstance on which the mass media have realized”, which “could affect the incentives for other people to collaborate with judicial investigations. ” And he even accepts "that the concern has reached civil society, which promoted a campaign to gather accessions to demand that the Honorable National Congress transfer the Program to the orbit of the Judiciary." He also notes that a prestigious non-governmental organization dedicated to transparency and institutional strengthening (refers to Citizen Power) has formulated a requirement in the same direction "to the Ministry of Justice.Finally, the text defines the Program as an instrument of the Judiciary and, in that sense, evaluates the Federal Chamber of Criminal Cassation as the most convenient area to assume responsibility for the protection of witnesses “for its nature as the last federal criminal court and only judicial structure in the matter with territorial competence in the whole Argentine Republic ”.

Trying something new in After effects ?❤️

Perhaps the appropriate title, summarized, broad and opportunistic for this time in Argentina, is the abbreviation: "F v F". For a change, here we will have another, more forgettable and tasteless: "Against the Impossible." I keep the chosen one to exhibit it in Europe: "Le Mans 66". Yes, we have a good performance of the two main protagonists. Matt Damon is Carroll Shelby, and Christian Bale is Ken Miles. Seconded by other well-executed roles, the film is a dramatic comedy (now called "biopic"), which may have some bump in the middle, but is well endowed with complex action scenes, on different circuits. It installs you from the very beginning in a recreation of the triumph of Shelby in Le Mans 1959, with an Aston Martin, and the appearance of the fearsome ghosts that the traditional gala test interposes so that you do not take it from above. It is known that Le Mans decides for himself who wins; and he usually does it at the last minute. There is no sure win (ask Toyota). Since always, since it was first disputed, making a car that can last without breaking, and completing a race day traveling as far as possible is a technological nightmare. It starts, and it takes you to the final triumph of Ford in 1966 (it was not easy or immediate) and that victory was not without controversy. The film shows you that only with guts and delusional doses of unconsciousness those pilots could handle four-hour shifts, fighting each other, against cars of other categories, against the night, against the rain and against fatigue. That is Le Mans. But the final scene did not reveal it to you. You know the story, but maybe not its protagonists. I leave it for you to find out. Watch it at the cinema, if you can. If you saw Grand Prix with Ives Montand, if you saw 24 Hours of Le Mans with Steve McQueen, if you saw Indy 500 with Paul Neuman and if you saw Rush with Daniel Ruehl, how are you going to miss this one? Then there will be your criteria to order them. Autoblog readers, present at the cinema, gave us their car movie rankings in this note. Now, there is one more to add. The technique for the big screen So we could find out in the special effects magazine VFX Voice, for this film 30 different cars were built, with special designs each, to mount the camera devices and movements and thus give the true driving sensation, without resorting to Green screens or digital effects in action scenes with cars. Yes, the picture was completed with the images of environment and context of the time, as was done in the other epic film of Formula One, the great Rush by Ron Howard. The director James Mangold and his director of photography Phedon Papamichael have already been working together for five films, something essential to achieve that non-verbal communication that allows to anticipate and project what will be needed, and in what way it should be shown, to get the viewer into history . When it comes to racing cars, and more when a distant situation must be reflected for more than fifty years, it must be introduced to the public in a world where the sound was the heady roar of eight and twelve cylinder engines. A technological war that confronted two schools: the European and the American. A huge complication was to recreate that Le Mans of 66, a scenario where the challenge takes place, since in the current circuit it is impossible to record and it brings absolutely nothing. According to its producers, they had to rebuild the old French semi-permanent circuit with action sections shot in other locations in California and Georgia today, and assemble everything as a Frankestein. A nightmare of planning for the production, since they also had to have continuity in the shots and add the climatic or hourly condition, since in a 24-hour race there are situations of rain, night, sunrise and noon. Here the visual effects and postproduction equipment have been worn, which have had long hours of work in terms of correction and masking of defects and discontinuities. A feat only possible with the technical and artistic arsenal that is counted today. Without going any further, an example of this is the trees next to the circuit. In Europe they have cold colors of rainforest, and are different species from those of California or Georgia, which tend to warm or yellow different tones. Another challenge, which is common in vintage productions, is to eliminate cell phone communications towers, or advertisements. Filming was carried out with Arri Alexa cameras, for digital information capture; and with the optical quality of the Panavision T Lenses, refined instruments that combine the legendary analog photography with the digital image processing of the current cameras, to which the postproduction processes are added, which operate miracles. Another great protagonist in Le Mans in all its editions is the public, so it has also become a logistical challenge for other production departments. Production design, extras management, and costumes, among others. For this purpose, royal stands were built, to which both the architecture and the crowd in them were cloned. Thus they have had to place royal stands with a certain amount of people occupying them, and surrounded by racks with blue fabrics of 15 x 15 meters, as background, and constantly moving them between take and take, so that they function as parades. The same has happened with certain period buildings that were built in 1959 and remained similar to the years in which the action took place. All a job of finding suitable locations, something that in the cinema is the daily bread. It is remarkable the recreation of the time of the town of Le Mans, where the pilots lived in hoteluchos, and the improvised garages of the visiting teams were erected in chicken coops. The vision of the director and his power of conviction is to take you to that year and that career, to a place with a basic technology that only expressed itself very brutally in the car and around it barely. All human and corporate conflicts could well be set in medieval times. And they would be the same. For certain scenes that were to take place in the North American stage, circuits were recreated such as its configuration of yesteryear, so that old Daytona was filmed using the current location of the Fontana circuit. Maybe finding out about all this disappoints you a little. I try to be illustrative and to refer you that beyond the criticism that we are doing about this film and about the story itself, it is to tell you that the film of today and always is a great deception to which we all look above, accepting that what is seen and happens there is real, while we are experiencing it. If that pact is maintained during the screening, and the director manages to get you into his artistic work, the cinematic phenomenon has occurred and you accept the deception. The article of marras perfectly defines that a spectator accepts in a Marvel or Star Wars production the creation of infinite worlds, planets or technological states, since that is fantasy and science fiction; This is why here, in the world of Le Mans 66, the commitment of the people who do it is to take you to a hyperrealistic world, that puts you in context in a world and a past tense and that will not come back. This degree of detail should transport you to subtleties such as the typefaces of the commercials and the signage that was seen in those times. A thorough and detailed investigation that successfully fulfills its mission, if it goes unnoticed. If there were an incompatibility or a temporary disorder, certain sharp spectators and error professionals would point it out. Another difficulty in the perception and appreciation of the public perfectionist of these films is when race cars circulate in different circuits. On those tracks that are surrounded by trees, such as Le Mans itself or to name another, Monza, a car launched at 70 km / h is perceived as going to 150. On the other hand, in the inverse relationship, a car that marches through a track nestled in a desert, as are many in the United States, you throw it at 100 km / h and it seems to be dragging at 50. To overcome this deficit you have to manage with wide-angle lenses and objects (especially those that may be motionless) ) near cars; as well as providing cameras on board with controlled movements so that they can develop travellings or approaches to pilots while driving. The director's slogan was very simple. This should not occur or be seen as an advertising spot for a car, or as a Transformers movie, where the effects and speeds reach an unbeatable figure. That is for popcorn movies. Here the challenge was another: give realism and present the difficulties of those times. It is one of the minimally enforceable likelihood commitments for a creative team that deigns to respect the protagonists of those years. Each specially built auto camera could carry up to six Arri Alexa Mini cameras and an Insta 360 Pro camera used to be installed at the top, to capture environment vision at the same time. In addition, old Panavision T or C anamorphic lenses were used to cover the huge sensors of the current Arri Alexa cameras The V8 and V12 were silenced, the projector was turned off, the room was silenced by applause, and we climbed wearily to our four cylinders parked in the garage of the mall. You have to rework. If you want to read more, the excellent note of Gabriel Tomich, recently appeared. Or the note on the Ferrari 330 P4 Or the note I produced about Ford's foray into Le Mans, for the Salvat collection of the Ford Falcon. Ford and Le Mans Ford had defeated the fearsome Ferrari on the North American tracks with the Shelby Cobra, but that didn't seem enough, they had to beat them in Europe and especially in Le Mans, the traditional 24-hour event. Started as a few, Henry Ford II wanted to gain the automotive prestige of the Maranello house, so he used a subtle tactic: he offered a little less than ten million dollars at the time for the purchase of Ferrari. In May 1963, representatives of both brands sat down to negotiate; the American giant was going to buy from the small Italian manufacturer that dominated in Le Mans. At the last moment, Ferrari objected that his decisions (and budget) on the team depended on Detroit, and the operation reached a point of no return. Faced with this scenario, there was no other option but to invest in engineering and development to go to the field and compete equally with the best cars, the best drivers, and more: much, much budget. Such the bet in its magnitude, they got to work, Ford completely lacked experience in competition (due to an old American law that prohibited automakers from participating in competitions, and in making use of power as an advertising argument), something that was abundant in Ferrari and a reason for existence; So they went out in search of talent and experience. Ford had already won in the Daytona 500 of 1963 with an impressive 7-liter V8, so it was well pointed in the right direction. That same year, in June at the 24-hour appointment a Cobra Ford came in seventh place behind six Ferrari (3rd in the GT category) The Ford GT 40 is born A special sports division was created to create a car that should have a central rear engine, with a wide wheelbase to develop good stability in rectilinear, (especially suitable for the long straight that dominated the La Sarthe circuit) and a height no more than 40 inches from the ground (hence the figure 40 in the name). For the direction of everything they summoned John Wyer (someone who would eventually become a legend in himself), who summoned rookie Bruce McLaren (another called to make history) and the American and Le Mans expert Phil Hill. The team's base was operating near London's Heathrow Airport and there the Ford GT40 / 101 was introduced and in its first foray into Le Mans in June it did not work out. During the race they left the three cars for lack of reliability, although they were quick. It was under the direction of Carroll Shelby (who was commissioned to develop) that the model would evolve, proving to be a contender to consider. But that was not the case, the Ford GT40 Mark II version also ended up failing in the 24 Hours of Le Mans of 1965. Only in 1966 was there a car that could end the five consecutive wins that Ferrari had (the Italian brand would not return to have an absolute victory in the mythical race, and still remains the third most winning brand, behind Porsche and Audi). In a race in which Ford led from the beginning; towards the end of the 24 hours the advantage over his rivals was undeniable. The three positions of the Le Mans podium were occupied by three Ford GT40 Mk II. The victory was for number 2 piloted by Bruce McLaren and Chris Amon. Then the GT40 No. 1, led by Ken Miles and Denis Hulme, and the one with the number 5, which Ronnie Bucknum and Dick Hutcherson piloted were located. Ford had not only got a deed for posterity, he had defeated Ferrari in his temple. And then? By 1967 Ford returned recharged, this time they had developed a new GT40 version Mk IV that had reduced by 130 Kilograms using a tubular frame built in aluminum. The Ford Navy had seven cars and began leading the race; but when arriving at the feared night of Le Mans three cars were lost in two accidents. On the other hand, the number 2 car driven by Dan Gurney and A. J. Foyt remained fast and regular (so he could beat the Ferrari that were 2nd and 3rd) after making lap records and averaging 218 km / h for 24 hours. Gurney and Foyt's Mk IV gave Ford his second Le Mans victory; something that was repeated in 1968 and 1969. This last one was very disputed since the duel this time was with Porsche and it extended during the 24 hours. The GT40 Mk1 of Jacky Ickx and Jackie Oliver beat them for only two seconds at the Porsche 90

“Then we will sign here. In case anyone has the whim ”, warns Josele Santiago socarrón while he ends his show in a shopping center in Callao. Some forty or fifty unconditional ones participate in the intimate ceremony as a mini-concert (“they know what they are coming from; if not, they would not come”) that serves as a promotion for the discobook (plus DVD) Count Duque live, a summary of his two performances with last year's band (October 9 and 10) in the former barracks converted into a cultural center. Although the object shows the facet of Madrid, the voice and guitar format is an abundant part of its diet since the crisis in the sector. “They are performances where it is essential to measure the times and talk between topics, because otherwise the public starts chatting and doesn't even look at you. A bit in the folklore tradition. ” His solo career has never given up rock but he has opened his palette and revealed him as a craftsman of the song. Five albums under study precede the new live ("although the first two were already recorded like this because of my obsession then with the spontaneity of jazz"), in a way not without doubts: "I got to work in veterinary clinics some months but then came the return of Los Enemigos [2012, Josele is his singer and songwriter], other bowling of mine and my 2017 album ”. This album, Transylvania, brought together but not too public in the corresponding tour. “Small and medium sized rooms, it was hard at first but then improved with word of mouth. In summer they don't usually call me for festivals: people want to dance in them, and I'm not much in garlic either. ” Another thing was the Malasaña Sound cycle, directed by the musician Suso Saiz, who hosted the two dates of Josele in Conde Duque. The cartel was po[CENSORED]ted with artists related in one way or another to the neighborhood: Josele founded Los Enemigos there in the eighties. Although this castle of Puerta del Ángel, a former student of the Salesians of Paseo de Extremadura, has been living in Catalonia for almost a decade, after a time of life in the countryside. “My intention was to continue on a rural plan [I already sang it in Cachorrilla], but I was crossed by a blonde. We live in a satellite city of Barcelona, Montcada ”. The musician and his roots: “I miss many friends from Madrid and the way to be more open to people, but I am very well here. And I am very sorry for what is happening, I am going through a very skeptical moment: I do not understand what any of the parties do, and I no longer know if it is a whole theater: it is decided what is agreed, covering it with a fatter one until that things get out of hand. " The fact is that Josele embarked months ago on "an eggplant" when someone in the management office suggested recording his quarterly performances and, incidentally, "give the album a little more attractive." When he imagined more of a direct to use, like some of his header discs: “I can think of, for example, Rock and roll animal by Lou Reed. I always had it at an altar. ” The first setback involved rehearsing forced marches with a new band: “The musicians of the Transylvania tour, after small internal problems, gave way to others who had already exercised replacement in some bowling and knew the repertoire. Something not so traumatic in the end. ” In fact, together they sound like a cannon, insufflating new aspects to topics such as Ole papa or Let the sun speak. "A musician always fantasizes, me too: if I could re-record that or that ..." Josele compliments his companions of any stage: “I am fortunate to have very good musicians who liked my songs. They are not here for the pasta, with me you earn very little. ”There is no shortage of guests in Conde Duque live, despite Josele's initial reluctance: guitarists Amable Rodríguez and David Krahe, DePedro, Leonor Watling (“ his brown voice is going to the hair to black Magic ”), Niño de Elche (“ takes the civil guard further south ”) and Johnny Cifuentes, leader of Burning,“ which makes the stanzas in Tragón's duet grubby [a reference to past additions de Josele] to be even more Madrid, almost zarzueleras ”. There is hardly a composition of The Enemies in the setlist: the emotional From the jar that serves as closure. While Josele still enjoys the solo debut of Fino Oyonarte, the bassist of the group ("I was finally excited about a record with his name, I carry it in the car"), announces the band's new album for the beginning of the year: " It is already recorded, it is very brown rock, I like it a lot ”. It will mean the continuation of Intelligent Life (2014), the return work, illustrated as now Count Duque live by the Madrid painter Santiago Bueno: “This book with the lyrics of the concert seems fantastic although somewhat morbid, but it is his vision of the songs. That of my father's best friend, also a painter, who never thought of asking for something like this in life. ”

Some fifty people, mostly children, were injured in a nursery school in China where an individual sprayed caustic soda on students and teachers, local authorities announced Tuesday. The assault took place on Monday at 3:35 p.m. local time (7:35 GMT) in the city of Kaiyuan, in Yunnan province, authorities said on the Weibo social network. The city council said a 23-year-old suspect named Kong scaled the school wall and threw caustic soda at the victims. A total of 53 children and three teachers were admitted to the hospital for care. Two people have "severe symptoms" but are not in danger, local authorities said. According to the city, the behavior of Kong, the main suspect, is explained because his parents divorced and "the lack of family love caused a psychological imbalance." In China there were other similar attacks against schools. In November 2018, a 20-year-old man killed a student in a polytechnic school, also in Yunnan province.

He landed on a flight from Europe. And it was hosted at the Ezeiza Cargo Terminal. The first Toyota GR Supra is already in Argentina. The new sports of the Japanese brand is in the process of being launched for sale in our market, but next week it will make a debut as an avant-premiere, at the Autodromo de Buenos Aires.

Seven decades long after his death, with John Maynard Keynes - one of the parents of the modern economy and, in the words of his colleague Arthur Pigou, "the most influential economist of his time" - something happens that illustrates well the acceleration of Times: When things go smoothly, his figure goes to the back room of the story and his name disappears from the stage. When curves are feared, his last name returns to the stands. And when the economy bottoms out, its legacy is used as a last resort to get out of the hole. Today, when we are on the second stage and the snowball of bad economic news threatens to become an avalanche, his theory about animal spirits — that shed light for the first time on how emotions are as important as reason to understand the shot of decisions; that psychology makes the economy not behave exactly the same as what the ultra-rational economic models predict — returns to the front line. Stagnation, trade conflicts left and right, slowdown in the labor market and precarious employment, Brexit, globalization decline. The bad news is the new normality in the salmon pages of the newspapers: the specialized press reader - and not only - has breakfast any day with a bad unemployment data and goes to bed with a disturbing bad news about the evolution of the German industrial sector , the great European giant immersed in a technical recession that has raised doubts throughout the eurozone. To what extent are we really exposed to this cascade of pessimism? Is there a real risk of contagion to the real realm? What remains of the dreaded theory of self-fulfilling prophecy? In economics, the band is always put before the wound: "We still don't have", shoots Raymundo Campos, economist at the Bank of Mexico and author of Economics and Psychology (Fondo de Cultura Económica, 2019), "enough evidence to understand the relationship between bad news and growth, nor do we know the possible transmission channels. ” But the background - some of them very recent - is there: as Philippe Bacchetta (University of Lausanne) and Eric van Wincoop (University of Virginia) demonstrated, the rapid contagion between countries of the brutal crisis of 2008 not only had to do with the globalization of international finance or with the restriction of credit - which was not even uniform between countries -: “Credit did not decrease, at least not significantly, beyond the United States (...) It was the fear he who seized consumers and businesses. And as several members of the global economic ecosystem revised their expectations downwards, their fears were self-fulfilling, the demand dried up and the anticipated depression became a reality, ”they wrote. Today, again, the avalanche of bad news "obscures the horizon", completes the first. “Of course, the spiral of self-fulfilling prophecy could happen again if a generalized pessimism is unleashed. But, fortunately, I don't think it's happening now: I only see a slowdown. ” When bad news is good in decision making The other side of the coin was exhibited in 2017 by four professors from the University of Southern Denmark - Helle Mølgaard, Svensson Erick Albæk, Arjen van Dalen and Claes de Vreese. In an eloquent headline study - Good news in bad news: how negativity improves economic efficiency - they concluded that, "against the ideology of negativity, the effects of which are widely documented," the economic news Adverse effects could, in fact, be good news: in some cases, exposure to negative information about the future of the economy "leads to positive changes in efficiency and decision-making." Also that, the more interest a person shows in the economy, the less effect the negative news has on him or her. Whether a recession arrives or not depends, to a large extent, "on po[CENSORED]r narratives," Nobel Laureate Robert Shiller delved into the New York Times last month. "Virtually none of us has a formula for deciding on our plans, so we let ourselves be influenced by the emotions and theories suggested by the stories we hear from others." There is, however, a key distinction: between bad business news - which may, at most, affect a specific sector and have no widespread effect on the future of the economy - and macro - GDP or unemployment - which , stresses Alex Imas, Professor of Behavioral Economics at Carnegie Mellon University, "if they make people nervous, they have the potential to depress investment and consumer confidence." There, yes, the problem may come: if citizens fear a more bleak horizon, restrict their consumption, retract their investments and increase savings, hampering growth. The beginning of all good economic flu. Most analysts point to a deepening of the slowdown - and not the apocalypse that some draw - as the most likely scenario in which the global economy will develop in the short and medium term. The CEO of Bankia, José Sevilla, expressed it in his own way in the last presentation of the entity's results: “In society, due to the influence of the media and the situation in general, it seems that the economy has stopped . But the demand for credits continues: there is a decoupling between the prevailing message and reality, and we should not self-generate the idea that everything is going wrong because the information can help slow the cycle. ” Despite the reduction in forecasts, Spanish growth will fall to around 2% this year according to the latest Brussels macro chart, a figure that would sign much of the advanced and even some emerging economies, such as Mexico or Brazil. Data for reflection, but not for alarm: you can see the glass half full or half empty, but not completely empty. The trauma of the Great Recession Humans have an almost natural tendency to think that the vital signs of the economy are worse than they really are, something that increases when the wounds of a recession remain so open. Surveys, as José Luis Ferreira, a professor in the Department of Economics of the Carlos III University, often shows a curious duality between the general economic sentiment and the individual financial health of the respondents. “It is a pattern that repeats itself: the tendency is to exaggerate in negative when asked about the economic evolution, but when asked about the individual situation or the position of each of the respondents is measured, it turns out that it is better than believe. " Part of this overreaction stems from trauma: the severe blow of the Great Crisis, so hard in the US and - especially - in Europe that it will take time to disappear from the collective subconscious. A decade later we remain anchored in that same fear: few saw the hit coming and now nobody wants to be the last to perceive a change in trend, stumble twice with the same stone. A look at the windows of the bookstores is the best proof of this trend: the books on how to survive the next recession and where it will arrive have covered the lists of economic essay publications in recent times. "But, by definition, a recession cannot be predicted," Ferreira completes. "That the cycle takes time in bonanza phase is no reason to think that it will end: there is no theory of the cycles that say they have a certain duration." The only certainty is that, in the next click of the economy, emotions, and not just the reasons, will have much to say. As Franklin D. Roosevelt (1933-1945), author of the New Deal that brought the United States out of the Great Depression, said, "the only thing we have to be afraid of is fear itself." Seven long decades later, in October 2008, when the financial cataclysm was already underway, George W. Bush Jr. paraphrased it in his own way: "Anxiety feeds more anxiety." Time, relentless, dictated sentence: it was too late.
