Game Informations: Developer: Telltale Games Production: Telltale Games Distribution: Xbox Live Format: Download Texts: Spanish Voices: English Online: Bookmarks Release date: 06/25/2020 We have to admit that after having played the third chapter of Batman: The Telltale Series, it is becoming increasingly difficult for us to understand the problems that its developers are having to make this episodic game a memorable experience worthy of the Dark Knight. By "logic", the combination of the narrative talent that Telltale has shown to have when it comes to creating good stories, building charismatic characters and writing great dialogue, with the enormous potential that such an iconic hero has and with as many possibilities as Batman, should result in something unique and at the height of the Bat Man, but the sad reality is that having already passed the halfway point of the season, things do not seem to be getting better. As you can imagine, the "gameplay" is the same as always, that is, see how the story progresses through videos while we make decisions and choose our dialogue options. Obviously, the action scenes are developed again by means of anodyne QTE in which we have to press the buttons that are indicated to us, sequences that despite being well choreographed and being very showy in their approach do not contribute anything at the playable level or offer a challenge. any. Therefore, the script remains the main axis that underpins the entire appeal of the game. However, New World Order maintains the slow pace seen in its predecessors. Throughout the scarce hour and a quarter that it lasts we will see how the plot barely progresses until the final minute, at which time there is a surprising and unexpected plot twist (by far, the best of the chapter) that will leave us with a lot of desire to know what is going to happen next, as it poses a very promising new scenario for the remainder of the season. The rest of the episode is simply limited to putting good old Bruce Wayne in a delicate and frustrating situation, to delve into the relationship between him and Catwoman, and to show us the beginning of Harvey's descent into madness (somewhat accelerated in our opinion). Dent to turn him into the villain we all know he will end up being. As we say, only a moment in the middle of the episode and especially the end they advance the argument, so a little more rhythm is missed. In addition, the type of situations that we will see and the relationships that occur between the characters we have already seen many times in other stories of the Dark Knight, which takes away some interest. This probably wouldn't be such a problem (after all, the dialogues are very expertly written and easily enjoyed) if it weren't for Telltale's worrying tendency to make its projects less interactive every time. In this chapter we have reached a point where we have felt like mere spectators without voice or vote, since any decision we made always ended up having the same result as a consequence, removing any type of emotion and tension from supposedly important and decisive moments. . Do you want to hide so they don't see you? Anyway, a cat will appear and reveal your position. Do you decide to go against an order that someone gives you? Relax, because something will happen right next so that it does not have any kind of importance. This is the trend throughout the episode, so in the end we will end up choosing our responses mechanically and without worrying too much about the possible and non-existent consequences (hopefully, perhaps in the two remaining episodes we will notice their impact, although we doubt) that our choices may entail. It is a real shame, since because of this the title has a really bad time when it comes to getting involved in its history, feeling more like a movie and less game than ever. Yes, the previous Telltale games were also somewhat tricky in this sense, but they managed to create that false feeling of being the protagonists and they knew how to put us between our back and the wall so that we suffered each and every one of our decisions with a series of answers which used to consist of opting for the option that we considered "least bad". What we did like a lot is to re-enjoy the multitude of winks and references that are made to the character's comics, giving new explanations to things we thought we knew, introducing the occasional classic character and telling us little details such as the origin of the Batseñal. We will see first-hand what this new and mysterious villain is capable of in one of the best action scenes of the game. Graphically, there is not much more to add to what we already told you in the analysis that we dedicated to its first two episodes: bad animations that tarnish the moments of action (although these leave us a couple of images in particular that are pure Batman), tremendously basic modeling, highly improvable textures, and uneven performance. The positive part is put back in its artistic section, very successful and with very good and recognizable designs. Finally, from the sound, to say that the soundtrack is once again purely environmental (in fact, many songs that we could hear in its predecessors are reused) and it adapts very well to what we see on the screen, although it still lacks a bit more variety . The effects are simply correct and the English dubbing is, to say the least, outstanding, thanks to its performances of unquestionable quality. The texts are kept in Spanish with that strange mixture between the names of the Latin and Spanish versions. Conclusions Batman: The Telltale Series Episode 3 - New World Order leaves us with a great final twist with which we are presented with a new and very interesting scenario for the last two chapters, but that beyond that does not contribute much to the general plot, with a very slow development and in which almost nothing happens. In addition, the decisions we have to make are purely anecdotal, reducing our role to that of mere spectators and removing much of the excitement and appeal that Telltale titles often display. Luckily, the fourth episode promises to be really exciting judging by how little we have been able to see in the brief preview that has been included before the credits, so we only have to cross our fingers and activate the Batsignal for the Bat Man to return. coming with more force than ever.

Birds Venezuela Icterus icterus Venezuelan turpial Icterus icterus map.svg The Venezuelan turpial or troupial (Icterus icterus) is a bird belonging to the ichteridae family, native to the American continent. Small in appearance, measuring between 15 and 22 cm, it has a black head and wings and the rest of its body is yellow. They can live alone or as a couple and their melodious singing (? · I) is very peculiar. It is the national bird of Venezuela, thus being chosen in a contest sponsored by the Venezuelan Society of Natural Sciences and officially declared on May 23, 1958. Description This beautiful bird has black plumage on the head and upper chest, while the rest of the body is dark yellow turning orange. The wings are completely black with the exception of a white stripe that runs along each wing when they are closed. The eyes are yellow with a light blue skin outline. Its beak is conical, sharpened and compressed, being one of the most beautiful songbirds in Venezuela. Subspecies Two subspecies of this bird are known (I. i. Metae and I. i. Ridgwayi) while there is still scientific controversy about two other possible subspecies (I. i. Croconotus and I. i. Jamacaii). The specimens of I. i. metae have a higher proportion of yellow plumage on the back and the white stripe on the wings is divided into two sections. The specimens of I. i. ridgwayi are generally stronger and therefore make up the majority of the po[CENSORED]tion of this bird in proportion to the other subspecies. Habitat The turpial is found throughout Panama and the entire north and central zone of South America and is particularly common in the eastern Colombian plains, as well as in practically the entire territory of Venezuela. The Venezuelan turpial frequents warm and not very rainy areas such as the savannah and gallery jungle, where they find abundant essential food for their diet, characterized by insects, fruit, eggs of other birds and eventually other smaller birds. Their varied and melodious song is heard at dawn and is highly appreciated in homes. You can live alone or as a couple. Breeding The mating period takes place between the months of March and September. The Venezuelan turpial does not build nests to incubate its eggs. Instead, they invade abandoned nests, although it is also common for them to take possession of the nest by force, aggressively expelling its occupants. Once it finds a place to live and feed its young, the turpial fiercely defends its territory, so that it can eat the eggs or even the young of other birds that dare to try to occupy its home. In each laying, the turpial lays 3 to 4 eggs, which hatch after two weeks of incubation.

Finally, the second generation of the Audi Q3 is in our country, a model of great importance for the firm in our market, since it generates a very interesting volume. If you were wondering the causes of the delay in the recent Audi launches, this is due to the new approval process that came into force, the brand could previously request the manufacturing of the units from the plant and approve the products at the same time, now it is not thus, no car is manufactured if the plant does not have the homologation documents first and this change has greatly impacted the speed with which Audi can bring its new launches. However, the above is only part of the movie, since the fall of the premium segment last year was 11%, going from 67,670 units in 2019 to 60,248 in 2019. That is, the luxury market fell more than the volume, economic uncertainty and insecurity that prevails throughout the country are the main causes. But returning to what concerns us today, the new Audi Q3 2020, arrives with two engines, surprisingly the new 1.5-liter turbo that is already available in the new Audi A1 2020 is not among the options. The reason, again the issue of homologations, waiting for that engine would have delayed even more the launch of a strategic product for Audi in our country, so at the bottom we have the Q3 35 TFSI with the old known four-cylinder 1.4T 150 hp and 184 lb-ft of torque associated with a six-speed dual-clutch S-Tronic transmission that sends power to the front end. While at the top is the Q3 40 TFSI that uses a 2.0 turbo with 180 hp and 236 lb-ft of torque associated with a transmission also S-Tronic with double clutch but with seven gears that sends the power to all four wheels. By adopting the MQB platform, the new Audi Q3 2020 grows in dimensions, it is 96 mm longer, 77 mm larger in terms of wheelbase. The measurements are as follows: 4,484 mm long, 1,849 mm wide and 1,856 mm high. For its part, the wheelbase is 2,680 mm. The gain does not seem to be very great, but thanks to a better use of the interior space, the rear bench is much wider than before, without considering that it can be traveled up to 150 mm, either to leave more space for the legs of the riders. rear occupants or gain cargo space. Since we are talking about the trunk, the capacity is 525 liters that can grow to 625 when the bench is moved as far forward as possible, while, when folding the backrest of the rear seats, the space increases to 1,525 liters. Inside doors, a very ad hoc cabin welcomes us with what the brand has presented in recent times, straight lines and a marked prominence for the central infotainment screen that for our market is 8.8 inches and has both Android Auto like Apple Carplay, while the standard virtual cockpit is 10.25 ", although optionally you can choose the 12.3". As always, both the quality of the assembly and the finishes have no complaints, and we even found some inserts in alcantara (they can be brown, gray or orange) that both on the board and doors that give it a very pleasant appearance and touch, at the same time. that prevent abuse of piano black surfaces. As for the equipment, obviously there are changes depending on the version, but we find two-zone automatic climate control with air outlets for the rear passengers, induction charger, panoramic roof, as well as access and start by smart key as the most prominent elements. In this first contact in Mexico, only the Q3 35 TFSI was available, that is, with 1.4-liter mechanics, to know how the 2.0-liter variant performs we will have to wait until May, when Audi launches the new Q3 Sportback, and that, for the effects of actions with press, they will be those that are available with the most powerful motor. There are no surprises here, this powertrain is already an old acquaintance and we have tested it in different applications, both Audi, SEAT or Volkswagen. Although it is a somewhat veteran mechanical assembly, the response capacity is good and except for the already known turbolag that the 1.4 turbo has, the operation, especially in the mid-range of revolutions, is excellent. Audi chose the route from Guadalajara to Puerto Vallarta so that we would have the opportunity to thoroughly test its new Q3 2020, the first section, as you probably know, is of highways, where we were able to verify once again that although the adjustment of the Suspension is more oriented to comfort, it is perfectly capable of controlling the vehicle at very high speeds, the Q3 is very well planted and transmits a lot of confidence. The steering also provides adequate feedback and in general the refinement is very good, particularly the acoustic insulation is outstanding. The steering also provides adequate feedback and in general the refinement is very good, particularly the acoustic insulation is outstanding. Already in the second part of the route, the trucks and traffic lights can make you forget that the road offers some quite complex sections of curves and that in a car with good credentials, they can be quite fun. The Audi Q3 proved that it is capable of entering winding roads with a lot of poise, the natural tendency is to understeer, but the limit is much higher than you would think in the first instance, and when it is presented, it is very easy to correct, it is enough release the accelerator a bit to fix it (within the limits of physics of course). Even when it comes to the front-wheel drive version, the grip is good and makes you forget that the center of gravity is higher. At the moment, the most frontal rival for the Q3 is undoubtedly the BMW X1, which has mechanical options of 1.5 liters or 2.0 liters turbo as well and the price range is similar. The new-generation Mercedes-Benz GLA is not yet available, although knowing the price positioning of the brand's latest launches, it is highly likely that the next GLA will be considerably more expensive than its competitors.

10 things people with Alzheimer's want you to know alzheimer Keep these things in mind if someone close to you has Alzheimer's Memory loss can be scary, but patience, confidence, and encouragement can help someone with this disease continue to live a meaningful life. One of the first things that comes to mind when you think of Alzheimer's is memory loss. But there is much more about this condition that healthcare providers, loved ones, and people who have just been diagnosed with Alzheimer's need to know. There are a number of important facts and misconceptions about the disease. Each stage of Alzheimer's disease is unique You can assume that someone with Alzheimer's cannot strike up a conversation, but that is not the case. "Those in the early stages have memory problems that make it easy to miss or forget conversations, while personality changes or agitation can appear during the intermediate stages," explains Mary Mittelman, director of Alzheimer's disease. and related dementias. When the last stage arrives, the patient may have difficulty dressing or eating. "The symptoms of Alzheimer's disease change over time," says Dr. Mittelman. Life is still pretty normal in the early stages "I lead a largely normal life, but there are specific areas where I rely on a calendar, an alarm clock or a smartphone," said Eric Thompson, advisor to the Alzheimer's Association Early Stage Advisory Group. After being diagnosed with Alzheimer's about four years ago, he had to reprogram himself again and made some changes to his routine. For example, he finishes his daily chore checklist early in the morning so he doesn't forget them. However, Eric says that people are surprised at how well he remembers the conversations. Things are not forgotten on purpose It may bother you to have to repeat things to someone with Alzheimer's, but don't let your impatience get the better of you. Instead, simplify the way you say things so your words are more likely to be remembered. Reminding someone that your loved ones have died is terrible When someone with Alzheimer's asks about a deceased loved one, don't cause unnecessary distress by saying the person has passed away. Instead, offer to take the person for a walk to find them, says Jackie Pinkowitz, president of the Dementia Action Alliance. "You can't expect that person to go back to where you are, but you can be nice and be where they are," said Pinkowitz, who cared for his mother and her father-in-law, both with dementia. "Share the moment, but be willing to delve into his world a bit." Socializing is important Those with Alzheimer's should not be urged to stay home, especially in the early stages, when they only have mild cognitive impairment. In fact, it is good to spend time with friends and family. "Unfortunately, some family members just make them more incapacitated rather than empowering and encouraging them to participate," says Pinkowitz.

CNN) - US President Joe Biden reiterated that he intends to raise taxes for the wealthiest Americans. During an ABC News interview broadcast on Wednesday, the president spoke about his plans. "Anyone who makes more than $ 400,000 a year will have a tax increase, which will be small to significant," explained Biden. He also promised that people who earn less than $ 400,000 - that is, more than 90% of taxpayers - "will not pay an extra penny in federal taxes." Biden says Putin will "pay a price" for Russia's efforts to undermine the 2020 US elections. The president said Republicans' criticism of his $ 1.9 trillion COVID-19 relief bill stems from tax breaks from his plan going to the lowest 60% of the po[CENSORED]tion. While the "idea" of the Republicans "of a tax cut is to grant the Trump tax cut in which 83% went to the top 1% of the US po[CENSORED]tion," he argued. Biden acknowledged that he may not get any Republican support for a tax increase, but said he will "get Democratic votes." He then added that he believes that the Senate's obstructionist tactics should return to those that are "dialogued." But, he did not say that he wants the 60-vote threshold removed to end debate on the bills. Something that could make a tax increase without Republican votes unlikely. “If we go back to the tax rate from when (George W.) Bush was president, the top rate paid 39.6% in federal taxes. That would raise $ 230 billion. However, are they complaining because I am handing out a child care tax benefit? For the poor? For the middle class? ”Biden added. The Difference in Tax Discounts with Trump and Biden 2:00 The president presented several proposals during his presidential campaign that would increase taxes for the wealthy and corporations, by reversing some of the tax cuts that Trump enacted in 2017. On Monday, White House press secretary Jen Psaki said that Biden believes that "those at the top are not doing their part." And "obviously corporations could be paying higher taxes," she added. Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen suggested Sunday that a tax hike would be on the horizon, when she said she expects the White House to come up with proposals to control deficits. What you need to know about the new child tax credit stimulus “(Biden) has not proposed a wealth tax. But, he has proposed that corporations and wealthy people pay more to meet the needs of the economy, the spending that we have to do. And, over time, I hope we come up with proposals to control deficits, "Yellen told ABC. The president had also proposed changing the way 401 (k) retirement savings accounts are treated in the tax code. This in order to give low-income people a greater upfront tax exemption.

Although it is not usually a problem that an application has access to the internet, and we are usually interested in having it, especially in the case of online games or browsers, among other programs, sometimes there are also occasions when we want to block access to internet of a specific application. This can be due to several reasons, for example, to avoid the automatic update of an application that does not need internet access for its correct operation, to heal us in health and have greater control over what the application can do out, or even when We use programs obtained in less legal ways, where it is not surprising that we need the application not to be able to connect to the internet to continue working. In any case, in this guide we will show you how to block internet access for a specific application in Windows 10, so that we can be sure that it cannot communicate from or to the outside. Locate the desired program to block Internet access One of the first things that we will have to do is locate the executable of the program to which we want to block access to the internet, and that is that, although we might think that direct access is sufficient, there are cases in which updates to a program are managed by a separate executable, so we will have to take a quick look in the program folder to verify this. In this case, where we have a shortcut on the desktop, we will right-click on the icon and click on Properties, where a window will open with the properties of the shortcut. Once there, we will click on Open location, and it will take us directly to the folder that houses the executable. Geeknetic How to block the internet access of a program in Windows 10 Firewall 1 As we can see, it is a simple application that does not have multiple executables, so we can be sure that blocking the main executable will be enough. In the case of programs that have a separate service, we will probably find names that end in "update" or similar, so that if we find multiple executables, we can search for information online to determine which files we want to block. . In any case, we will not close the window, as we will need it later. How to access and navigate Windows Firewall Now we will proceed to access the Windows Firewall, something that we can do in several ways, as we will see below. The simplest thing is to open the start menu and write Windows Defender Firewall, where the option that will appear selected is the one that interests us despite having a longer name. We can also choose to look for the Windows Firewall in the control panel, and once inside, look for the advanced settings, something that will take us to exactly the same place. Geeknetic How to block the internet access of a program in Windows 10 Firewall 2 Finally, we can also make use of the Windows execution window, because by pressing the Windows + R key combination and typing "wf.msc" in the window that will appear, it will allow us to quickly access the Windows Firewall configuration . In any case, we are already in the advanced configuration window of the Windows Firewall, something that may seem somewhat intimidating at first, but it is really simple to use. Block internet access for an application in Windows firewall At this point is when we can begin to block the internet access of our application, something that we will do by applying inbound rules and outbound rules. Geeknetic How to block internet access of a program in Windows 10 Firewall 3 The first field will be that of entry rules, and as we click we will see how there are a good number of applications that we will be able to recognize having allowed their access to the internet over time, something typical when we start a game or program for the first time and we request internet access through Windows Firewall. To create a rule, we will click on the “New rule…” button in the Actions menu on the right side, and we will select the “Program” option among the options that are given to us, where by clicking Next we will be asked for the application path . Geeknetic How to block internet access of a program in Windows 10 Firewall 4 This is where we can return to the folder where the application is located, where we can see the properties of the program to copy the path where it is located and the name of the application, as we see in the example screenshot.

Virtual machines usually have limited support for the hardware of the system in which they are running, this is a problem for those who work in a mixed environment between Windows and GNU / Linux where the main Operating System is the first and the second runs on one. virtual machine. Well, NVIDIA on its latest GPU has just activated virtualization on its GeForce graphics cards. Within the world of applications for Linux there are a large number of scientific applications that make use of the unique functions of the GPUs, but we do not usually have access to it if we run a virtual one, unless we are combining a dedicated graphics card with a integrated. What is virtualization on a GPU? GPU virtualization The command processors of a GPU can normally only execute a list of graphical commands to display the next frame on the screen, which is a problem under two conditions. The first is when we have mounted a server in the cloud and we have several clients to whom we must grant a graphical interface in real time to each of them, the second is when we run one or more virtual machines on an operating system. Virtualization requires the use of a custom command processor for this, there are systems such as Microsoft's Xbox One that run two environments at the same time, the game environment and the console menus, it uses two command processors at the same time. weather. In other cases, special versions of the GPUs are created with the modified command processor, especially with support for SR-IOV, but it must be taken into account that these GPUs are not sold for desktop PCs. That is why support for virtualization on desktop GPUs is something that is appreciated, especially if you have a system that lacks an integrated GPU and you cannot assign a second GPU to the virtual machine, having to run an emulated VGA. Limited virtualization on NVIDIA GeForce GPUs NVIDIA virtualization Starting with the R465 driver, the following GeForce series GPUs support virtualization: Desktop: Kepler (GTX 700 and GTX 800), Maxwell (GTX 900), Pascal (GTX 1000), Turing (RTX 2000 and GTX 1600) and Ampere (RTX 3000). Laptops: Maxwell (GTX 800M and GTX 900 M), Pascal (GTX 1000M), Turing (RTX 2000 and GTX 1600) and Ampere (RTX 3000). However, since it is not a hardware implementation but through the controller, we are limited to a virtual machine and the SR-IOV is not active. so if you want to have virtualization for several virtual machines you will have to acquire a card from the professional range of NVIDIA such as the RTX Enterprise, Tesla or Quadro. So if when you started reading the news you were planning to create a server in the cloud with GeForce graphics cards, forget about it, since this NVIDIA solution through its drivers is limited. In any case, given NVIDIA's tendency to unify its architectures in a single design along with the growth of Cloud Gaming, especially if we take into account its GeForce Now, which helps NVIDIA to reposition its unsold graphics cards for Cloud Gaming.

A judicial embargo measure was executed this Friday on the headquarters of the newspaper El Nacional, located in Caracas. After a long judicial process that lasted for six years, the deputy Diosdado Cabello, number two of Chavismo, took over the building where one of the main print media in the country operated, with 77 years of history, also one of the most critical of the government for the past two decades. The measure ended up being dictated by the Supreme Court of Justice, which established a month ago that El Nacional had to pay the "moral damages" suffered by Cabello, as a result of the dissemination that it made of reports published in The Wall Street Journal and ABC of Spain in which it was revealed that he was being investigated by US prosecutors for alleged links to drug trafficking. The sentence ordered compensation for 13.2 million dollars, which the media refused to pay and the seizure was carried out. This is the latest blow by Chavismo to a systematic strangulation of the independent press in Venezuela. Since 2018, El Nacional had suppressed its printed edition due to the obstacles that since Hugo Chávez's time have been placed on the purchase of paper by private media. From being a company of almost a thousand employees a little more than a decade ago, with several brands of newspapers and magazines and a publishing house, there were only a few dozen workers left on the premises who feed the newspaper's web portal in a desolate and ghostly newsroom. Included in the lawsuit are the daily Tal Cual - now converted into just a website - and the La Patilla portal, which published, like many other international media and agencies, the information from the US newspaper, whom Cabello also tried to sue without success. Only with El Nacional has this outcome occurred, which adds to the exile in which its editor-in-chief, Miguel Henrique Otero, has lived for five years to evade criminal prosecution for the same cause. At the end of Friday afternoon, a group of military officials and a judge placed the embargo sign on the door of the building, while Cabello himself published the document on his Twitter account. “I report that in the afternoon, the competent courts, within the process of my claim to El Nacional, have carried out the measures of posting posters and notification of executive embargo and the process of payment of compensation has begun. We will win, ”he wrote in a tweet. Cabello turned this lawsuit into political revenge. For years he has been threatening his plans to keep the building, where he assures that he will install "the University of Communication." This blow to the press touches the political sphere at a time when opposition factors and the government of Nicolás Maduro agreed to initiate a new process of negotiations, with international mediation, to seek a way out of the prolonged institutional crisis in Venezuela, which would include a progressive lifting of sanctions conditional on the democratization of the country. In this context, Otero responded to what happened: “It is proven that the owner of Venezuela is Diosdado Cabello. Those who negotiate conditions in the country are negotiating with the wrong person, because the one in charge is Diosdado, "he said in an interview with the Colombian channel NTN24. In addition, the editor denounced the defects of the procedure. “Due process has not been followed. It is an outrage that we must denounce to the whole world. They want to eliminate us, close us down, that we disappear from the map ”. A month ago when the Supreme Court ruled in favor of compensation for Cabello, Otero had indicated that if the facilities were seized, they would continue to report through his website. Between 2013 and 2018, 115 media outlets in Venezuela closed: 41 printed, 65 radio stations and 8 television stations, according to data from the National Press Union. Other organizations such as the Press and Society Institute have warned that at least 10 states out of the 24 countries were left without newspapers. In a recent investigation they determined that at least 5 million Venezuelans live in informational deserts, regions without sufficient means to inform their po[CENSORED]tion. The harassment of the exercise of journalism has worsened with blockades and attacks on digital portals such as El Pitazo, Runrunes and Armando.info and with the arbitrary arrests of 66 journalists and media workers in 2020, during the state of alarm due to the pandemic. The takeover of the complex where El Nacional operated, which has a large area of workshops with the huge press that was on until three years ago, has been condemned by various sectors of civil society, culture, academia and politics. Juan Guaidó gave his support to the media in several messages on his social networks: “The censorship was not enough, denying the role, the purchase of media by front men, the persecution of journalists and their managers. Using a kidnapped justice, the regime seizes the headquarters of a medium that has been reporting the truth for more than 77 years ”.

Once we have sat down in front of the desktop PC or laptop and start it up, in most cases we will find Windows 10. This is the most common and used operating system, but it is not the only one. We could also see an older version of Windows, or one of the many Linux distributions out there. Admittedly, Linux has improved a lot in recent years, at least it has become more affordable for most users. However, it still does not have the acceptance that perhaps your community would like. On the other hand we find Microsoft Windows that does not stop growing over the years. But this does not mean that it is an operating system neither better nor worse than open source. What do exist are important differences between the two proposals. It is for all this that in these same lines we will talk about some of the things that perhaps should change or improve in these distributions. All this with the healthy objective that a greater number of users finally opt for its daily use. Greater support of official drivers in Linux Keep in mind that in the beginning, a good part of the Linux kernel is made up of the long-awaited drivers. These are the small pieces of software that keep the operating system from having communication problems with the components that are part of the computer. This is something that over the years, Linux distros have gradually surpassed and improved. However, what perhaps many could be missing in certain cases is a greater availability of official drivers for their components. So they could get more out of these, as in Windows. Fewer hardware incompatibilities In addition, all this, in parallel, would mean that Linux would have fewer hardware compatibility errors with some elements of the equipment. It is true that this is also a section that has gradually improved substantially. This is something that becomes especially clear if we compare the current situation regarding hardware compatibility in Linux, with that of more than a decade ago, for example. More compatible games Another of the sections that would probably attract a lot of attention from countless users around the world, is an increase in compatibility with games. More if we take into account that the use of juices on the PC platform does not stop growing more and more. However, in this sense Windows at the moment has a lot of advantage over Linux, which is an unfavorable point. linux games vs windows games Have more professional programs like Photoshop As with the gaming world, there are certain big-name applications that are also missing from Linux distros. This is something that is even more lacking when we refer to certain more professional titles as in the case of Adobe Photoshop, for example. It is precisely for this reason that some are forced to continue working with Windows. More support for Linux from PC manufacturers And of course no one can deny that a somewhat greater support of the major PC manufacturers for Linux would not hurt. Most of the desktops and laptops that we buy come by default with Windows 10 pre-installed, which generates a clear market trend towards that system. If the tables turned a bit in this regard, the Linux community would surely appreciate it.

Since the Dennard scaling broke in the mid-2000s that the advancement in CPUs stopped being based on clock speed to be based on multicore designs and generation after generation we have seen how the number of cores has evolved, but , Is there an ideal in the number of processors? First of all we must clarify that this article is not about what physically limits the number of cores of a processor, but about whether there is a configuration that, regardless of this limit, which could be the ideal and therefore with which the designers and chipmakers are more comfortable. Is 8 the ideal number of large nuclei? CPU Reverse Render One of the changes that we are going to see is the adoption of heterogeneous configurations in PC CPUs, something that we know in the face of the Intel Alder Lake architecture and that is rumored for future processors from AMD. Which means that the number of cores will be increased, but cores of the same complexity will not be added, but much simpler. There are two reasons why these little cores can be added. On the one hand, they take care of the simplest instructions, for which the more complex CPU cores do not have an advantage in speed, but they do have a disadvantage in the energy consumption of each instruction. On the other hand, there are execution threads or processes of the different programs that are sent to one type of kernel or another. The adoption of this strategy in the future by Intel and AMD hides a clear message, the fact that we will not see a leap beyond 8 cores as the standard size of CPUs for PCs. It is clear that it will be possible to buy configurations with a greater number of cores, we have the case of the future Intel Alder Lake where the measurement of "large" cores is 8. Small versus multi-threaded cores big.LITTLE Diagram Multithreading in any type of processor is based on using the dead times or the execution bubbles of a processor to execute a completely independent thread of the first one. Just because an x-core CPU runs 2x threads doesn't mean it runs twice as fast. Multi-threaded CPUs are seen as additional cores in the eyes of the operating system. It would be physically possible to increase the number of threads of execution of a CPU core, but these depend on the bubbles created by the previous threads of execution. That is why it is much more efficient to add more cores of lower power than to increase the number of threads. As the number of small cores may increase in the coming years, it is not for nothing that operating systems and programs today are composed not of a single thread of execution, but of dozens of smaller ones that can be executed. easily in those little cores. Which are going to grow more and more.

Game Informations : Developer: AYAX BELLIDO Plataforms: Xbox One, PS4, Switch y PC Initial release date: FEBRUARY 23, 2021, At 3:32pm PDT To begin with, I am one of those people who are not very resistant to the horror genre. I always go trembling and heartbroken before those works that are conceptualized in advance to scare people, and that incidentally, confront them with fears that have been unresolved along the way. Therefore, I can say that Little Nightmares II, a game developed by Bandai Namco and available for Xbox One, PlayStation 4, Nintendo Switch and PC, is a title that I suffered from beginning to end, but that paradoxically I greatly enjoyed due to a narrative that keeps you captive, above all, to the feelings of horror that the user is experiencing and which are woven through a very well implemented gameplay. And it is that Little Nightmares II is in my opinion, a work that has perfectly understood that shocks, blood and excessive violence are not necessary to create scenarios and narratives that cause shivers. All it takes is haunting atmospheres and a constant sense of vulnerability to experience the dread of living in a nightmare. Childhood nightmares Before continuing, it should be clarified that a server has not had the possibility to play the first installment of this saga. Little Nightmares II has been my first approach to the franchise, and without a doubt, it has become one of the video games that has made me the most tense in recent years. Here, we will play as a little boy named Monkey, who will try to make his way through a huge and dark world full of monsters represented by adults. In this sense, Little Nightmares II opts for the use of the childhood nightmare to make us feel afraid: the characters from whom we must flee are a terrifying school teacher, a ruthless doctor, or a strange man with long arms and a lanky figure who comes out of the television with every intention of ending us. Each one of them could well be a protagonist drawn from the deepest and darkest dreams of our childhood and, of course, they are contextualized in immense scenarios that make the sensation of terror grow, like an old and abandoned academy where students do not They will be your friends, or a doctor's office full of scary patients. All you want is to escape the place as soon as possible. review little nightmares II bandai namco Image: Bandai Namco The nightmare becomes even deeper when feeling helpless accompanies you through each of the corners, because in order to avoid our adversaries and the frightening final bosses we will only have a couple of basic mechanics at our fingertips: run and hide. It is a childish nightmare with overwhelming spaces and perspectives, and with repulsive creatures that perhaps we have all feared at some point in our lives. I mean, who didn't have nightmares about their school teacher or the doctor who, dressed in strange gadgets, was about to check on you? The imagination and the unconscious sometimes follow very mysterious paths. Run and don't look back Little Nightmares II is a 2.5D platformer, so as usual in genre titles, the game mechanics will be based on exploration and puzzle solving. In that sense, at first glance all the levels of the game seem very similar, and as such they are played under the same dynamics, however, the developers have managed enough to print some elements that give the player certain variations. review little nightmares II bandai namco Image: Bandai Namco In essence it is a chase game, but it would be unfair and simplistic to just reduce it to this as it would mean ignoring aspects that challenge the ingenuity of the players such as the different puzzles that will be presented to us, and in which we will have to show off our intuition and deduction to achieve progress without falling into the immense darkness through stairs, beams or ventilation ducts. In that sense, Little Nightmares II seeks to squeeze every last drop of creativity in each of its scenarios, achieving more than acceptable results in most of them if we take into account the basic purpose of the game. Although the main dynamics are running and jumping through the different platforms until the level is exceeded, there is also a grip mechanic that we will use constantly throughout the game. We can execute this element individually or with the help of Six, partner and protagonist of the first video game, who will give us a hand when passing certain tests, completing certain puzzles or giving us some clues about the level when we are stuck. Also, we should add that protecting Six is basically the plot that drives much of the game's narrative. During one facet of the game, a small flashlight will also be included in the character, which works to ward off certain dark entities that seek to attack you. The light will make these beings stop, in a dynamic that reminded me of Alan Wake. Also the televisions turned on will be part of the mechanics of the game in some levels, since they will allow you to transport yourself from one point to another, and you will have to find the most ingenious way to use them to advance. On the other hand, aesthetics play a key role in enhancing the chill and terror that is inherent in the title, creating a sense of anguish and doubt in every step you take. Practically all the scenarios are distinguished by a grayish-blue tone with very little lighting, which makes shadow play a constant during each of the tours that we must do. In that regard, we can also say that the art design is terrifying enough with each of the characters that we see on screen, and that particularly the final bosses have been conceptualized in a neat and terrifying way, therefore, for no time will it pass. for your head to face them, you will only want to run and not look back until you find a way out. In the world of nightmares Little Nightmares II is a game that takes advantage of open spaces, and there will be occasions when we can explore the back of the stage in search of a collectible (such as the different hats that the protagonist can use) or an Easter egg that is kept hidden Between shadows. The latter are not many, but at least they are enough to add an extra interest in the game. Of course, it is an exploration delimited by the camera and by the walls of the stage itself, because at some point you will collide with an invisible wall or find a bottomless hole. However, this little freedom and concession in exploration makes Little Nightmares II's levels feel more like real places than simple lines of passage; and therefore, the video game universe feels more alive and immersive. Puzzles also make the most of space, but in the opposite direction. In other words, if exploration makes scenarios appear larger, puzzles will often need to be solved in small spaces, which makes it much easier to search each corner to find that hidden key or secret lever we need. The result is that the levels and puzzles do not become frustrating, because you know that the solution is hidden close to you, and that it only takes a little patience and intuition to find it. Where there will be frustration, regardless of whether they are large or small spaces, is in the combat system implemented for the game. If you ever have to struggle to get out of a difficult situation, prepare to feel desperation on great levels, because all the weapons you can find are too big for you. This results in a slow and totally predictable attack, as your little protagonist must drag the object with difficulty and lift it with great difficulty and then try to hit an enemy. This combat system is really very frustrating, but I don't dare to pigeonhole it as a completely negative element, as I understand that it is an aspect that aims to boost the feeling of anxiety that is trying to convey within the game. In addition, fortunately there are few situations in which you must fight directly, in addition, you can always find an ingenious way to do it. Where if I think a bit remains to be owed is in the audio design, as it is a section that had the mitigating factors to highlight more and better accompany the atmosphere and thick narrative of the game. The typical suspenseful melodies and the sound of a music box rumbling in the lonely nothingness are present, but not enough to make your skin crawl. Finally, to say that Little Nightmares II is a short game that simplifies each of its dynamics to make it feel fluid despite the inherent tension that exists in each of the levels, and in which it will take between 8 and 10 hours to finish it. We can say that Little Nightmares II is a simple game that does most things well: it has a brilliant character design, creates an eerie atmosphere, and the puzzles are very entertaining. Perhaps it falters in elements such as the combat system, the monotony that can be felt in some of its levels and the sound section that could give more, however, we are talking about a very well executed horror game that takes us to the shadows to face our fears. It is not a horror video game that seeks to make you scream or jump out of your seat, perhaps for many lapses it does not even have the goal of scaring you. Little Nightmares II only tries to take the idea of a bad dream to mix it with a clear and irrefutable idea: nobody likes to be chased by something bigger, nobody likes to feel helpless in the face of the immensity of our deepest nightmares. Here is a video about the game

At first glance it draws attention. His appearance from another age stands out from the rest of the fish and his long saw full of sharp teeth instills fear and keeps those who see him at bay. The sawfish inhabits the waters of the Pacific, the Caribbean and the main rivers of the northern zone of Costa Rica. They are active at night and sleep during the day, they can reach up to eight meters and feed very close to the bottom of the water on crabs, shrimp and other fish, in fact they use their saw to hit their prey. These animals are not very reproductive because they have to spend approximately 10 years to reach sexual maturity, their gestation periods are very long (more than nine months) and when they have young, between two and eight individuals are born. These specific characteristics of reproduction, added to fishing, the deterioration and destruction of its habitat and climate change have caused the distribution of the animal to be experiencing a reduction of more than 95%. This is why, with the intention of determining the current status of the species in Costa Rica, Jorge Valerio Vargas and Mario Espinoza Mendiola started a research project in 2016 to find out how it is distributed in Costa Rica and what its main threats are. "We were very concerned that this species would disappear in Costa Rica without anyone doing anything about it," said Espinoza. The study The objective that both researchers had was to try to talk to the po[CENSORED]tion so that they would give them as much information as possible about the sawfish. They mainly focused on fishermen, but also included other people in the community. This survey led them to travel for two years along the Pacific and Caribbean coasts, as well as the main rivers in the northern part of the country. “We knew from historical reports that the species was distributed in all these environments. We asked the fishermen how much they knew about this fish, if they had caught it, when and where, if they had released it or if it had died, if they sold it, if they ate it, ”said Espinoza. Out of a total of 275 interviews conducted in 42 communities, they were able to confirm 206 encounters with the long-toothed sawfish (Pristis pristis) and only two with the small-toothed sawfish (Pristis pectinata). The data collected reveals that these individuals have experienced a substantial decrease, as the number of sightings or captures went from 89 historical records more than 20 years ago to 24 in the last five years. Many of the interviews gave them information about where the species was two or three decades ago and where it is now. This helped them rebuild the redistribution and begin to settle where the species is currently seen. “It filled us with hope to know that there are still many reports and that there are two 'hot' areas (Térraba-Sierpe National Wetland and in the north of the country in several of the large rivers that flow into the San Juan) in which we have to work with the community so that the species can last ”, added the researcher. The study was developed based on a total of 275 interviews carried out in 42 communities. ... The study was developed based on a total of 275 interviews carried out in 42 communities. Photo: courtesy of Mario Espinoza. Two places, two problems Despite the fact that the Térraba-Sierpe National Wetland is located in a region of importance for tourism, the expansion of areas destined for monocultures is affecting the habitat of the sawfish. In the north the story is different. The problem of the fish is linked to the socioeconomic and bordering condition of the place. Many of the reports indicate that, due to harpoon fishing and by confusing it with real shad - commonly consumed by the inhabitants of the area - people kill it. Illegal trafficking in the mountains is also very present in the country. These parts are used as ornaments, trophies and, recently, it was discovered that the teeth of the saw are intended for the manufacture of spurs, which are used in illegal cockfights in several Latin American countries. What's next? Although the study by Valerio and Espinoza is recent (it was published in November 2019), since 2017 actions have been implemented to protect the species present in Costa Rica. At the end of this last year, several articles were approved in the Legislative Assembly to prohibit sea hunting and the capture of sawfish. In 2017, a social projection work was also started at the UCR that consists of educating, raising awareness and sensitizing the Costa Rican po[CENSORED]tion about the species, through urban advertising campaigns in the Greater Metropolitan Area. Likewise, trainings were carried out in schools and colleges in the areas where they have seen the sawfish. In addition, a phase of fishing expeditions began in Sierpe de Osa to be able to capture the species and study it better, mark it and measure it, which has not yet been achieved. Most of the catches and reports of sightings of the fish have been by local fishermen. The next steps that the researchers propose are to continue with the explorations, not only concentrated in Sierpe, but also in Corcovado, in the Osa peninsula, in the north and in Barra del Colorado, in the Caribbean, in order to “be able to carry the sawfish to people's houses ”. The idea is that there is a rapprochement between this animal and the communities in order to make the conservation message bigger and bigger. In 2019, a study called Global Sawfish Search (led by James Cook University, Australia) was started, which seeks to improve global conservation efforts targeting sawfish through the use of environmental DNA techniques. Through this methodology, it is about detecting the species through water samples that are analyzed to obtain small traces of DNA and thus be able to locate a species without the need to have seen an individual. Based on the interviews conducted, Valerio chose a series of sites and collected water samples. At the end of the previous year, he traveled to Australia to examine these water samples and identify if there are traces of the sawfish. The results of the environmental DNA study will be overlaid with the information collected in the interviews to definitively determine which are the most important areas where this species is found, and then organize expeditions to try to observe it. Everything that biologists have been doing during these years has been an initial phase to prepare a later stage that deserves much scientific evidence necessary for the conservation of sawfish.

(CNN) - Economic development is a good thing ... but not when it comes to the risk of developing colorectal cancer. According to a recent study, as a country develops, the rates of this type of cancer also increase along with it. The study revealed a 10-fold difference in cases globally, based on a country's level of economic development. The "western" lifestyle that accompanies a country's growing economy is believed to be behind the rate hikes. "Colorectal cancer is the clearest marker of social and economic transition," says cancer epidemiologist Melina Arnold of the International Agency for Research on Cancer who led the study. Also known as bowel cancer, this is the third most common type of cancer in the world. It affected 1.4 million people in 2012 and is projected to increase by 60%, to more than 2.2 million cases - and 1.1 million deaths - by 2030. This form of cancer is a common result of poor lifestyle choices such as poor diet, low levels of exercise, smoking, and heavy alcohol use. "This is largely preventable because it is related to lifestyle factors," says Arnold. Arnold and other experts in the field were already aware of the geographic variation seen in the rates of this type of cancer specifically, but its extent was a revelation. "There is a growing disparity," says Arnold. Does prosperity lead to cancer? Arnold's team analyzed colorectal cancer rates at all levels of the Human Development Index (HDI) in 184 countries and found that the higher the HDI, the higher the bowel cancer rates. Very high HDI countries had levels, on average, six times higher than low HDI countries. More importantly, this type of cancer was found to be on the rise in low- and middle-income countries as their economies developed. "Decades ago you didn't see it much in low-income countries, they had more infection-related cancers," says Arnold. An example of an infection-related cancer is cervical cancer, which can result from infections caused by the human papillomavirus (HPV). However, lifestyle diseases — and cancers — are becoming more prevalent today. "Low-income countries are catching up with the rest," she says. Countries where colorectal cancer numbers - and death rates - were increasing, or stable, include China, Russia, Brazil, and the Baltic countries, which have seen rapid economic development in the last decade. With this change there is a rapid progression to a Western diet and lifestyle. The study was observational, in which the findings were based on aging and living po[CENSORED]tions, but experts have long known that lifestyle plays an important role in the emergence of this type.

The pandemic has been handled disastrously in Venezuela. I am a head nurse in a hospital in Caracas and I could say that we really work out of passion. The difficulties are enormous. The salary is very low and there is no element of protection. I decided to give this testimony anonymously so that many know what is happening in my country, understand why thousands flee to Colombia. But I keep my name so I don't have any retaliation. In the Nicolás Maduro regime, no one can complain about anything. When the pandemic arrived in Venezuela there was no planning. Despite the fact that the outbreak had acquired international importance for months and had become a pandemic in January 2020, in the country there was never the required information. A fact that shows how little was known and the improvisation with which everything was done is that supposedly 46 hospitals were set up, but none were prepared. Out of 20, only 4 were sentinel hospitals. And one of them was closed. Covid in Venezuela (AP Photo / Matias Delacroix) - Photo: AP That cheerful way of handling the pandemic makes us have a serious situation today. Review. And may the peaks take us more inclemently. Subscribe! 6 months of total access for $ 25,000 View deal The presence of a new variant of Covid, from Manaus (Brazil), much more aggressive and with a high level of contagion, has put the country in check. Today we see how our hospitals continue to collapse. The endowment is quite meager. We have our intensive care units full and the work already exceeds health personnel in human terms. CARACAS, VENEZUELA - FEBRUARY 17: Nicolas Maduro President of Venezuela smiles in a press conference in Miraflores Palace on February 17, 2021 in Caracas, Venezuela. Nicolas Maduro President of Venezuela announced the country will start vaccinating health workers from Thursday with the Covid-19 Vaccine Sputnik V. (Photo by Carolina Cabral / Getty Images) Due to the increase in infections in Colombia, Maduro To date we have 442 deceased medical staff. Nobody answers for them. And we have had to make collections to be able to bury them. One of the great problems that Venezuela has had is that it is impossible to determine the infected and the deceased. PCRs are very rare, if not non-existent. Today there are health workers, more than a year after the pandemic, they have not undergone a diagnostic test. Covid in Venezuela (AP Photo / Matias Delacroix) - Photo: AP If someone in a hospital has symptoms, the policy is to send them home for 14 days without testing, you will never know if it is an infection, if it is another viral process or if it is indeed Covid. In hospitals we lack everything. We do not have water services in more than 80 percent of the hospitals. the total and absolute loss of the purchasing power of Venezuelans. So much so that social networks in Venezuela are today a social security institute. It is very common to see financial support on Twitter or Facebook to be able to buy any medically, to have masks, because there are none. In Venezuela health should be free, and it is free at all levels, but if there is no way to care for people, then it does not matter if it is not. The situation has been so dire that even the private sector is collapsing. Many people go to clinics where there is no material and are exhausted looking and seeking care. Today, in addition, the number of infected people is impressive. In addition, the restriction measures in Venezuela are unreal. The radical quarantine in Venezuela is impossible because there is no way to eat. In other countries where there is a sufficient salary, these measures can take place, but here people have to go out to find bread. No one can afford to isolate and protect themselves. Covid in Venezuela (AP Photo / Ariana Cubillos) - Photo: AP In the case of healthcare workers, we are all exempt from quarantines. But our situation is deplorable. We do not even have a salary that allows us to live. we do not have the necessary supplies. We have no food. We can die infected because we do not have biosafety equipment. Today in Venezuela the handling of the pandemic has become very irresponsible. The gap between what we earn and what we need to live is apocalyptic. Our salary is US $ 10 dollars when the minimum that is needed to achieve the basic basket is US $ 300. How do we continue? very simple: for the love of what we do. Many of us must leave hospitals to search for other trades. We are in solidarity, we have that social responsibility and that is why we do not resign. But many have to go to the informal economy after their long and arduous days, to sell potatoes to make cakes so they can bring bread home. We have an overload of work to be able to finance our going to the hospitals, to buy a mask. Others, very few, who have families abroad receive something to be able to shovel. We ask for a sufficient salary. The vast majority of us are women who have to assume the maintenance of our homes. Covid in Venezuela (AP Photo / Matias Delacroix) - Photo: AP The future does not look promising. Nobody even knows if there really is a national vaccination plan. We know that some Russian and some Chinese vaccines have arrived, but no more. Venezuela is also not given vaccines from the Covax mechanism because the country has a debt of millions with the Pan American Health Organization. And health personnel have not been a priority in vaccination. That is why we see with great helplessness and a lot of anger how the environment of Mr. Nicolás Maduro says to the four winds that they were vaccinated. And he himself too. Who claims to lead Venezuela, when he is the first to be vaccinated and those who put the breast are denied? Mature WEEK Maduro offers oil for vaccines We also question the political and unscientific handling of the pandemic. In Venezuela there is a National Academy of Medicine. We have a demonstrated capacity in immunization plans, but today they are not taken into account. The one who claims to be president of Venezuela announces, instead, some magical goths for the Covid. In the whole world the situation is serious, but in addition to the pandemic we must add the condition of extreme poverty, galloping hyperinflation, not having gasoline to reach hospitals. We are an oil-producing country, but you have to stand in line for six hours to fill up the car.

Videos are the most consumed type of content nowadays, hence more and more people are starting to make their first steps in video editing. One of the benchmark tools in this task was Windows Movie Maker for years, however, a long time ago Microsoft stopped supporting the famous video editor. Specifically, it was in the summer of 2012 as part of the discontinuation of Windows Live Essentials. Luckily, today we can find other tools that allow us to edit our videos easily. Next, we are going to show you some of the best alternatives to Windows Movie Maker. If you are looking for an application with which to edit your videos, you have probably found that many of them are paid or their use is quite complex and requires that we have a lot of experience in using these types of tools. In the compilation that we show below, you can find some of the most interesting and easy-to-use applications if what you are looking for is a tool to edit videos, many of them are even more complete than Windows Movie Maker itself. Alternative video editors to Windows Movie Maker Wax One of the great alternatives to Windows Movie Maker is Wax. It is one of the most veteran video editors, but it is undoubtedly still a great tool, especially for those users who are new to this type of task. Its great simplicity makes it ideal for amateur users, but that does not mean that it has numerous tools that allow us to edit and apply numerous effects to our videos to achieve quality results. wax alternative Windows Movie Maker Of course, the only drawback that we can find is that it is not compatible with some type of modern video file format. In that case, we will have to find an alternative tool or convert this format to another compatible with Wax. Download Wax. It is the most complete free video editor for most of the users of this type of tool. It even offers more tools than some of the paid programs designed for clip editing, hence its great po[CENSORED]rity. VSDC alternative Windows Movie Maker VSDC offers all the basic tools to edit our videos, but in addition, it also has everything necessary to make corrections, transitions or to apply effects and filters to all types of videos. And, last but not least, it also has an integrated desktop capture tool with sound. On the negative side, it must be said that certain options are a bit hidden. Download VSDC Free Another of the free and interesting video editors th at we can use as an alternative to the disappeared Windows Movie Maker is VideoPad Video Editor. A tool that, in addition to offering all the typical video editing tools, also has the option of exporting 4K videos and tools for importing videos, adding audio and photos, etc. Download VideoPad Video Editor. Videopad alternative Windows Movie Maker Avidemux Avidemux is another great alternative when we want to edit videos, although it also offers the possibility of making montages in a really simple way. It is compatible with Windows, mac OS and Linux and together with all the options to edit videos or create them quickly, it has a lot of video and audio filter so that we can adjust all the transitions or add subtitles in a simple way. One of the drawbacks of this tool is that it does not allow us to combine videos of different dimensions, that is, with a different height or width. To be able to combine them correctly, they must have the same dimensions. Download Avidemux. As far as its interface is concerned, perhaps it is the alternative that most closely resembles the famous Windows Movie Maker for its appearance, buttons and the timeline it shows. In addition, it is a very easy to use tool that also includes really interesting functions such as adding filters or transitions to our videos. An open source tool that we can get totally free and with which we can easily retouch our videos regardless of the experience we have in this type of task. Download Shotcut. Jahshaka It is another of the alternatives to Windows Movie Maker multiplatform, since it is available for Windows, Linux and Mac. It is a very complete video editor that we can also get for free and that offers multiple options for both video and audio. Precisely, one of its main characteristics is that it has unlimited audio space, while perhaps its biggest drawback is that its use requires certain prior knowledge, since it offers a certain level of complexity when handling it. Download Jahshaka. Openshot Another tool available for Windows, Linux, and Mac is OpenShot. A video editor that offers great possibilities and is, for many, another of the most complete alternatives to Windows Movie Maker. In addition to all the basic tools for video editing, OpenShot has other interesting functions such as being able to record video directly from a webcam without the need for an external camera or being able to edit and export content up to 4K UHD at 60 fps. Download OpenShot. VirtualDub If we are inexperienced users in this matter, but we want to make our first steps in video editing, VirtualDub is another great alternative to consider. A program from which we cannot ask for certain advanced functions either, but which nevertheless allows simple video editing within the reach of anyone. It allows the editing of large videos and has numerous filters to achieve different effects. It offers the possibility of recording video directly from a webcam and is compatible with video files of the most common formats. Download VirtualDub. Lightworks Last but not least, we could not forget Lightworks, a video editing program that we can get completely free, although it also offers a paid version with other functions. Its interface is different from that of the rest of the editors of this compilation, but for that reason it does not offer worse functions and features. So much so that it is used by many people in the professional field and offers us high quality results. In addition to the ability to edit video, with Lightworks it is also possible to edit audio. Download Lightworks. Wondershare Filmora Video Editor It is another of the great alternatives to Windows Movie Maker, regardless of the use that we are going to give it, more than walking around the house or even at a more advanced level. And it is that it is a fairly powerful program but very simple and intuitive to handle. It has more than 300 effects included to create videos with incredible effects and in the simplest possible way.

If there is one thing that SD memory cards have bad, it is that they are quite slow compared to other Flash memory devices, but this is going to end because the new SD Express controller has already been created that takes advantage of the NVMe protocol and that will allow these devices achieve a throughput of 1,700 MB / s. It has been Silicon Motion who has presented a new controller based on the SD Express standard, called SM2708. Unlike the Phison PS5017 controller based on the same standard until now, the SM2708 uses two PCIe 3.0 lanes and can literally double the performance of the fastest SD cards to date. SM2708 controller for SD Express cards, with twice the performance According to Silicon Motion this is the first SD Express controller to support the new SD 8.0 specification. The controller offers two memory channels and operates under the PC Ie 3.0 x2 interface with a raw data rate of up to 1,969 MB / s, which is subtracted for the performance "overhead" of the controller itself and results in a actual speed of about 1,700 MB Until now, Phison's PS5017 controller SD Express memory cards (PCIe 3.0 x1) in accordance with the SD 7.0 specification introduced in February this year maxed out at 870MB / s, which is not bad for an SD card but now they have been left behind very quickly, almost literally doubling their performance. In both cases, these SD Express memory cards far outperform today's UHS. In the datasheet, Silicon Motion reveals more details about the SM2708 controller, which is supposed to still handle about 900MB / s with a single PCIe 3.0 lane (per SD 7.0). The control unit is NVMe 1.3 and PCIe 3.1 compliant and supports L1.2 power saving mode as well as the new ONFI 4.1 and Toggle 3.0 NAND interfaces. The error correction measures include an LDPC engine and end-to-end data path protection, which means that the data will not be easily corrupted even if we remove the card while it is writing or the power goes out suddenly. The first commercial products will take time to arrive Similar to its SSD controllers, Silicon Motion offers the SM2708 as a "kit" that includes firmware for third-party storage product vendors. In other words, Silicon Motion "sells" its controller directly to SD memory card manufacturers so that they can implement it in their products, and this means that although the controller is already real, it will still take a while to see the first products that have it implemented. These extremely fast memory cards will be aimed, among other things, at drones and action cameras with high resolution video recording (keyword "8K"). In any case, the SD association responsible for SD standards already has more plans for the future, and the move to PCIe 4.0 x2 will result in a transfer speed that will double again in a very short time. Here you have the roadmap that they have already published. SD roadmap As you can see, the use of the PCIe 4.0 standard is already in their plans and will offer transfer speeds of up to 3,940 MB / s (raw data), which will later become approximately 3,400 MB / s of real speed. What is clear is that the SD standard is finally getting the hang of it and SD cards with just 10 MB / s of performance are destined to disappear in favor of much faster models.

The Municipality of Lima announced that, during the period of national emergency due to the spread of the coronavirus, there were the births of a vicuña baby, two of a lion monkey and one of a water buffalo, in the Parque de las Leyendas. The little vicuña (Vicugna vicugna) was born on March 28, in the place called Pampas Galeras, located in the Sierra area of this important center of entertainment and culture, which closed its doors to the public since the beginning of the quarantine decreed by the Government Central. Both mother and calf are in good health. The little vicuña is being fed and cared for by its mother at all times, which is favorable for its development. This birth is of the utmost importance for the Parque de las Leyendas, since the last of its kind occurred in 1996. Meanwhile, in the Selva area, the family of lion monkeys (Cebuella pygmaea) increased with the arrival of two young that were born on March 27. This species of monkey is considered the smallest in the world, weighing between approximately 100 and 120 grams. Gestation time is 135 days. The rearing of the lion monkeys is exclusive to the parents, who share the transfer of the young, from one place to another, during the day. Likewise, the family of water buffalo (Bubalus bubalis), a species native to Asia, has a new member, who was born on March 16. This little one is in good health and is fed only breast milk. In total, the Parque de las Leyendas now has 21 buffaloes in the International zone. Sanitary controls The Municipality of Lima, from the beginning of the state of emergency, reinforced the cleaning and disinfection protocols in the personnel who take care of the animals of the Parque de las Leyendas. The use of gloves, a mask, soap and alcohol is mandatory for workers. It is also important to go through bleach foot baths, to disinfect footwear, before entering the animals' enclosures. It should be noted that the supply of food in the Parque de las Leyendas is carried out with total normality. The vehicles with the provisions enter very early, in normal hours, to proceed with the respective distribution. "The Municipality of Lima receives the news of these new births in the Parque de las Leyendas with excitement, as this shows that even in difficult times such as the current one it is possible to harbor hope and life. Furthermore, it reiterates its commitment to safeguard the well-being of the workers, animals, archaeological monuments and green areas of this important entertainment center of the city, "he said.

Worldwide, the impact of preventable non-communicable diseases is growing steadily and they represent the most important cause of death, with 63% of the total number of annual deaths. Worldwide, cardiovascular diseases rank first in deaths from chronic diseases, followed by cancer, respiratory diseases and diabetes. Venezuela does not escape this reality, since among the five main causes of death in the po[CENSORED]tion, four are related to chronic non-communicable diseases: Heart disease as the first cause, followed by deaths from various types of Cancer and Cerebrovascular Diseases that ranks third, but no less important the death figures for Diabetes that rank fifth. These diseases share four risk factors: poor diet, physical inactivity, tobacco use, and harmful use of alcohol. Clearly the call for lifestyle changes is a global health priority. It is time to create awareness, establishing social values and public responsibilities that guide the development of strategies and behaviors that allow us to preserve health and improve the quality of life. A healthy life is the basis of a healthy society, which guarantees its individuals to fully enjoy their years of life. Based on these changes, the idea has arisen of providing a list of steps, which serve as a tool for society in general, to implement healthy behaviors, to ensure, in a large percentage, a better and greater longevity: nutrition Adequate, appropriate physical activity, avoiding harmful habits and having a good attitude towards life, are undoubtedly the best qualities to achieve a healthy life ..

Review Article How to achieve a healthy life Abstract Globally, the impacts of chronic non-transmissible diseases that can be prevented is growing steadily and are the leading cause of death, representing 63% of all annual deaths. Worldwide cardiovascular diseases rank first in deaths from chronic disease, followed by cancer, respiratory diseases and diabetes. Venezuela does not escape this reality, where four out of five main reasons of death within the po[CENSORED]tion, are related to chronic non-transmissible diseases: Heart disease is the leading cause, followed by deaths from various types of cancer and cerebrovascular diseases. Deaths caused by diabetes rank fifth. These diseases share four risk factors: poor nutrition, physical inactivity, smoking and alcohol abusement. The importance of making changes in our lifestyle is a priority for global health. It’s time to raise awareness through social values and public responsibilities to guide and develop strategies and behaviors which preserve health and improve quality of life. Healthy living is the key for a healthy society, which guarantees its individuals to fully enjoy their life. Based on these changes, there has been pointed out a list of steps that can be used to practice healthy behaviors and ensure a better and longer life: proper nutrition, appropriate physical activity, avoid harmful habits and have a good life attitude, are certainly better qualities for a healthy life. An Venez Nutr 2014; 27 (1): 129-142. Key words: Healthy habits, proper nutrition, appropriate physical activity, healthy life 1 I am healthy Request correspondence to: Samar Yorde Erem E-mail: samarelena@hotmail.com Introduction All human societies have highly valued health, so enjoying it has always been appreciated as a privilege, and even in many cultures it can be considered a predilection of the gods. Over the years it has been possible to demystify health as simply a state of bodily well-being, opening up new fields for the study and research of this science as a whole. "Health is life in the silence of the organs", wrote the French surgeon René Leriche (1879-1955); But a state of well-being goes beyond the functioning of our organs and senses, it involves every area that makes up the human being and that moves him away from physical, emotional and social ailments. World Health Organization (1946), health is considered a state of complete physical, mental and social well-being, and not only the absence of diseases or illnesses. Health is a fundamental human right without distinction of race, religion, political ideology or economic or social condition. When we speak of health in a po[CENSORED]tion, we must take into account aspects as diverse as family structure, leisure preferences, eating habits, means of transport, housing conditions, means of communication, work aspirations and free time; All of this marks social evolution and triggers changes that determine many aspects of an individual's life, up to the point of modifying their customs and way of life, conditioning towards routines that are not always favorable. In the case of Venezuela, a large number of these changes have led to the abandonment of physical activity as a dynamic of life, which together with inadequate eating habits, lead to situations of health risk and increase the rate of diseases such as obesity, arterial hypertension, cardiovascular diseases and others. One of the most important indicators of po[CENSORED]tion health and quality of life is life expectancy at birth, which reflects the number of years, based on known statistics, that individuals of a certain age can reasonably expect to live. Although the world average when talking about life expectancy is 69.64 years (1), there are abysmal differences between the different areas of the planet, since many factors can influence the increase or decrease of this value, such as a greater increase in the per capita income, greater access to education (education of the person), access to health and sanitary services, decrease in per capita spending on health, increase in the number of doctors, an advantageous geographical location, among others. (two) The World Health Organization estimates that the Venezuelan po[CENSORED]tion has an average life expectancy of 72/79 years (3), well above world life expectancies, however there is sufficient empirical evidence to the effect that an improvement in The living conditions of citizens, promoting healthy habits and reducing the rate of diseases, proportionally influences their longevity, which should be reflected in a decrease in the number of deaths from preventable diseases. Worldwide, the impact of preventable non-communicable diseases is growing steadily and they represent the most important cause of death, with 63% of the total number of annual deaths. Worldwide, cardiovascular diseases rank first in deaths from chronic diseases, followed by cancer, respiratory diseases and diabetes. (4) Venezuela does not escape from this reality, since in 2010 there were 138,504 deaths from all causes. Among the five main reasons for death in the po[CENSORED]tion, four are related to chronic non-communicable diseases: Heart disease as the first cause, followed by deaths from various types of Cancer and Cerebrovascular Diseases, which occupies the third place, but no less important. the numbers of deaths recorded by Diabetes ranking fifth. These causes represent 50.86% of the total deaths in the country for that year. (5) In addition, these diseases share four risk factors: poor diet, physical inactivity, tobacco consumption and the harmful use of alcohol. High blood pressure and obesity are the main risk factors for chronic diseases, and official figures indicate that high blood pressure is responsible for about 51% of deaths from strokes and 45% of heart diseases that occur. recorded annually in the world. It is considered directly responsible for approximately 7.5 million deaths annually. On the other hand, every day the world weighs more, and that is that each year 2.8 million people die due to overweight or obesity. The worldwide prevalence of obesity with a body mass index greater than 30kg / m2 almost doubled between 1980 and 2008, with the highest percentages of obese people in the Region of the Americas. (4) Clearly the call for lifestyle changes is a global health priority. It is time to create awareness, establishing social values and public responsibilities that guide the development of strategies and behaviors that allow to preserve health, improve quality of life and increase longevity. A healthy life is the basis of a healthy society, which guarantees its individuals to fully enjoy their years of life. Based on these changes, the idea has arisen to provide a list of steps, which serve as a tool for society in general, to implement habits and behaviors that lead to a full and healthy life.

(CNN Spanish) - Juan Gonzalez, assistant to President Joe Biden and principal director for the Western Hemisphere of the National Security Council of the White House, said in an interview with CNN that a process of rapprochement with the Government of Cuba would be gradual and not they hope to resume Barack Obama's policy towards the island. “Joe Biden is not Barack Obama in policy towards Cuba, I believe that both of them… the political moment has changed in an important way, the political space has closed a lot, because the Cuban government has not responded in any way, and in fact the oppression against Cubans is even worse today than perhaps it was during the Bush administration. So, I believe that at this time those are the commitments that have been made, they will be made in some moments, we are very focused on various crises around the world, and also on the domestic situation, ”the official explained. The senior director of the National Security Council for the Western Hemisphere, Juan González, talks to @jclopezcnn about Cuba and Venezuela. He assures that "the oppression against Cubans is even worse today than perhaps it was during the Bush administration." Today 5 P.M. (Miami). pic.twitter.com/wDm5iu9YHx - CNN in Spanish (@CNNEE) April 8, 2021 In 2014, then-President Barack Obama announced the start of a process to normalize relations with Cuba. In 2016, with Donald Trump in power, the White House changed focus and reinstated various sanctions against the island's government. At the beginning of his term, Biden still does not give signals to resume the diplomatic rapprochement of the Obama era. http://primicias.com.do/wp-content/uploads/2019/05/1072406170.jpg On the other hand, Gonzalez sent a message to the questioned president of Venezuela, Nicolás Maduro. He does not anticipate direct dialogue by the United States with whoever exercises power in that country: “The conversation that Nicolás Maduro, Jorge Rodríguez should have is not with us, it is with Guaidó, it is with the broad front that he has been trying to form, that includes sectors of civil society, the private sector, on the future of the country. We are not going to impose conditions on that process, it is a totally Venezuelan process ”.

Although we found out late last year through a leak, the HBM memory usage in the next generation Intel Xeon caught everyone by surprise. Months after that "leak" from Intel have already confirmed that the next generation of Xeon Scalable Processors, known as Sapphire Rapids, will have models that equate HBM memory as RAM. The artificial intelligence market is being occupied by accelerator brands, such as NVIDIA GPUs. Intel wants the market for AI servers not to depend on having to buy an external accelerator with their next Xeons, even if they have to add HBM memory to do so. Specifications of the following Intel Xeon Intel Sapphire Rapids DieXeon HBM Specifications Intel Sapphire Rapids DieXeon HBM Specifications Intel has published a table where we can see the specifications of its Xeon that will come out after the recently launched Ice Lake-SP, which are called Sapphire Rapids, but have been referred to as EAGLE STREAM instead of Xeon by Intel itself. . Its specifications as you can see in the table are the following: The number of cores per CPU will go from 40 of the current Xeon to 56 Golden Cove cores, the same that will be used in the Alder Lake for CPUs for notebook CPUs and desktop PCs later this year. Unlike current Xeons, Intel will adopt a chiplet-based design for the first time. Which will be composed of 4 symmetric processors of 14 cores each. Configurations of 2, 4 and 8 processor sockets, on the other hand the TDP has increased from 270 W to 350 W. The RAM will not be DDR4 but DDR5 with 8 memory channels. The maximum speed supported will be DDR5-4800. 80 PCI Express 5.0 lanes, compared to the 64 PCI Express 4.0 lanes of the current Xeon, also with CXL support. UPI 2.0, the Ultraprocessor Interconnect now uses 4 lines and its speed has increased to 16 GT / s. Improvements for Deep Learning, with the addition of AMX units, But what really stands out is the ability to use HBM memory, specifically each CPU has a 4096-bit HBM2 interface, with which it can be connected to 4 HBM2e stacks with a total capacity of 64 GB and a bandwidth of 1 TB. / s, which results in monstrous bandwidth for what a CPU is. What do you need an Intel Xeon HBM memory for? HBM 2 A few months ago when we told you about the HBM memory support, specifically HBM2E, in the next generation Xeon we mentioned the fact that an HBM memory stack supports up to 8 memory channels, so in the same way that we can connect the 8-channel DDR4 or DDR5 CPU we can do it with 8 HBM memory channels. What we weren't expecting was a configuration that made use of a 4096-bit HBM interface, which translates into an impressive 1 TB / s bandwidth, which is overkill for what a CPU is, the explanation? The addition of the Intel AMX units, which is a systolic array similar to those used in the Tensor Cores of NVIDIA GPUs and Google TPUs. All of these cores require large amounts of bandwidth to function. This means that Intel will stop using the inefficient, in consumption and architecture, AVX-512 units to bet on a type of hardware already proven in the face of everything that surrounds artificial intelligence in its next generation Xeon. We do not know if it would include it in the Alder Lake, given the bandwidth required by the algorithms for AI.

According to the Wall Street Journal, industry sources indicated that both Micron Technology and Western Digital would be exploring possible transactions with Kioxia Holdings Corp. that could bring the valuation of the Japanese semiconductor company to a sales figure of $ 30 billion but Is KIOXIA for sale then? What will happen to the last redoubt of Japanese storage in case they sell it? Kioxia's predecessor was Toshiba Memory, one of the best established companies in the field of Flash memory that has R&D institutions in Japan, the United States, the United Kingdom, Israel and India and produces NAND Flash memory chips for phones. smart phones, computer servers and many other devices. Currently, Kioxia is the world's second largest Flash memory chip maker with a 20% market share, and it is also the only remaining manufacturer in Japan. If the acquisition goes through, this will mean that the Japanese warehousing has come to an end. From glory to loneliness: the Japanese memory market In essence, the development of DRAM memory in Japan began at the same time as that of the United States, around 1972. At that time, Japan pioneered the successful development of 1 KB DRAM that was introduced to the market at the same time as the DRAM from Intel, and they pioneered the invention of NAND Flash memory around 1987. Info KIOXIA In 1976, led by Japan's Ministry of International Trade and Industry with Hitachi, Mitsubishi, Fujitsu, Toshiba and NEC as the backbone, Japan invested some 72 billion yen in joint research for integrated circuit manufacturing technology. In 1980, the joint research and development body VLSI of Japan announced the completion of a four-year project, the main research results of which include various types of electron beam exposure devices, plate-making devices using ultraviolet rays. and dry etching devices. The technical integration of several companies ensured that the DRAM mass production rate of return was above 80%, far exceeding the 50% that the United States had at the time and constituting an overwhelming cost advantage, establishing the dominant position of Japan at that time. Following this, the Japanese industry successfully developed 1MB DRAM, and Mitsubishi soon released 4MB DRAM technology. Hitachi began using a 1.5-micron process to produce DRAM, and in 1988 Toshiba's monthly production capacity surpassed one million units. In the same year, the market share of Japanese companies reached almost 80%, and for a long time NEC, Toshiba and Hitachi were the three dominant companies on the world stage. EDRAM-cover At the time, the US DRAM market share was less than 20%, and tech startups like Intel and AMD were ousted from the throne by leading Japanese companies. The US government realized that it could lose its strategic command position in the computer industry, so they changed their trade policy towards Japan from support to containment, something similar to what they are doing now with China. . In 1986, a 100% penalty was imposed on the $ 300 million in chips that Japan exported to the U.S. In September of that year, Japan and the United States signed an agreement containing a clause guaranteeing that Japan would open its market to USA and that in five years it would allow the country to have a market share of 20% within Japan. After that, the Korean storage industry took advantage of the situation, causing the Japanese semiconductor industry to suffer a sharp decline in the 1990s. By 2001, its share of the world market had lost half of the total. South Korea and Taiwan adopted a technology development model that far exceeded Japanese technology, putting very aggressive pressure on Japan. Faced with this situation, the main semiconductor companies in the world took countermeasures and initiated important strategic adjustments, reducing costs, transferring their production lines abroad and outsourcing businesses. All of this led to a decline in the Japanese industry that, in the end, left Toshiba alone as a major player in the storage business since Elpida went bankrupt in 2012. If Kioxia sells, it will be the end of Japanese storage It was not long ago that Toshiba Memory became KIOXIA with the aim of promoting a better brand image, and as we pointed out before they are currently the second largest producer of flash memory in the world with a 20% share. The interest of Micron Technology and Western Digital, although not confirmed, would make a lot of sense for both companies.

Again I say hello to the whole band and hoping that everyone is having a little fun, we begin the following analysis. Last time we talked about Resident Evil Darkside Chronicles, one of the best games Capcom released last generation and I want to follow the same zombie trend with the next title, Dead Rising 2. Before starting to say how much I like the first part, it is a tremendously fun game that perfectly captures the riot caused by a zombie invasion, hundreds of enemies on the screen trying to eat you and the freedom to defend yourself with practically any element of the stage. We do not have to continue saying much to confirm how much I fell in love with the approach and from the second part I only expected the correction of errors, a larger environment and the preservation of the playable base with greater possibilities. Did it manage to satisfy me? Of a ***** I say yes. The story of Dead Rising 2 follows a chronological order to take place several years after the first installment. The zombie epidemic that began in a small town where the main attraction was a supermarket could not be contained and more outbreaks have devastated the United States but given that as a race we are sons of ******, we have not been slow to find a use for it to create morbid and attract attention, through an insane contest hundreds of zombies are annihilated in bloody tests where the participants receive large amounts of money and this is where the protagonist, Chuck, comes in. Chuck is a family man, he lost his wife in an outbreak and his daughter was infected by a bite on the arm, forcing the child to total dependence on Zombrex, a medicine that fights symptoms and prevents transformation for 24 hours. the costly treatment forces Chuck to enter these contests. The headquarters of one of the tests takes place in Fortune City where shortly after the contest another zombie invasion happens and the maximum suspect turns out to be the same. Chuck will have many tasks from this point on, keeping his daughter alive with Zombrex, surviving until the arrival of a rescue party at the shelter where he and several survivors have finished, and discovering the culprit who has framed him in this whole affair. The story is very simple but it is enough to keep Chuck busy all the time, to this we add the confrontation with [CENSORED] diverse psychopaths and the constant rescue of survivors with also some small sub-plots, they do not go beyond finding the partner of a a survivor refusing to leave without him or a deranged woman threatening to blow up the venue if her demands for a show are not met. The protagonist represents a topic too burnt for the generation of "Don't worry, I'll take care of everything", putting a bit of emotional and dramatic charge on it for having a sick girl. As for the secondary ones, they are not very important either, let's say, yes, they help Chuck to finish his exploits and give very important information for our hero but up to there. Those who do have their charisma are the psychopaths, true sons of ****** fired up and extremely dangerous in a critical state of mind due to the sudden invasion, who want to kill Chuck is totally justified, after all, all the tests identify him as the cause. of the release of the zombies used for the contest. In this game, the story really is secondary in my opinion, because it is only a pretext to put ourselves against all kinds of situations and not only with zombies or psychopaths. In fact, the story is more direct, it really is worth it, one or another little surprise is saved at the end but in general everything is so predictable that halfway through the game I knew who the final boss was. Even so, I must mention that there are several endings depending on the missions we complete or not. Let's stop [CENSORED] around, what really matters to us is the gameplay mechanics and this is where all the charm of Dead Rising 2 lies, a more direct, disproportionately violent and frenetic beast of fun. I have read the few or no inclusions in the matter with respect to its predecessor, putting it as a delivery inferior to its older brother, because I disagree at all, although it is true that the novelties are not presented in industrial quantities the title fixes many failures of the first part. The approach remains the same, a character who starts the first game with practically zero skills with the obligation to overcome main or secondary missions in a certain time to level up and thus stop being the defenseless little girl to give way to the almighty God Destroy massive ninja reach zombies. However, this type of event that we do not know about the first time is part of the fun of the game, restarting games to adjust times, do missions before others, avoid certain areas at some time or face challenges better armed than the previous time and above all manage time and prioritize if it is more important to continue rescuing or progress in the story, with time so tight that we have little we will have to play the kaffir by killing zombies at will. The last said is not entirely true, the game is worth a dick if we complete the cases or save Chuck's daughter, surviving until the arrival of the army is more than enough. In itself, the game raises the missions to make it a challenge, let's add the fact that zombies also evolve, becoming more dangerous at night and as time passes they become more and more numerous. The most notorious change, as I have said well with respect to its predecessor, is the behavior of the survivors; In Dead Rising every civilian who accompanied us was perfect prey, not because the matter of going with 10 survivors against a crowd of hungry zombies has eggs but because they are complete idiots who do not pay attention to you no matter how many orders they make, they get stuck for any object and they were ridiculously annoying, come on, some even had the crazy streak of committing suicide by going directly to a group of zombies or crossing each other when you're shooting ... what's more, putting them in the shelter was another test of patience, all the assholes want to enter the same time and it may take time to get them all up onto the concrete pad that connects to the safe area vent. Going deeper into this matter to say that it was not advisable to give him weapons to defend himself as a [CENSORED] joke, because there you would see them hitting every dead person who crossed. http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-KEvlE-Yu4UQ/UtX2kBeAqPI/AAAAAAAAAsM/mhbnYIF3POU/s1600/ZZZZZ.jpg In Dead Rising 2 one only cares the least about the survivors, they dodge the attacks much better and do not go into a rampage if it is not strictly necessary, this makes bringing a large number much more bearable than taking care of a couple of idiots from the first part. The base in the combat system is still intact, we can grab practically any object in addition to firearms such as pistols, shotguns, precision rifles and others to defend ourselves but combos weapons have also been added, a kind of special mothers resulting from a combination Of two things, this is a limited but very fun system that is capable of the greatest tricks, from a spiked bat, a killer bear, a deadly handicapped chair or a motorcycle with saws embedded in the front to [CENSORED] every monkey that is move. http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-x4hORu3nOqk/UtX3BAZw1QI/AAAAAAAAAso/uH_a1SyCuvE/s1600/ZZZZZZZ.jpg The confrontation with psychopaths is still just as crucial, both for the optional and the mandatory ones, all of them leave special weapons much more powerful than the rest in addition to providing more combo cards and thus creating new weapons. Although we continue to depend on Chuck's punch to defeat bosses easier, it is not mandatory to go so high to beat them, it is enough to learn the attack patterns and take advantage of the environment to suffer minimal damage. However, as the game progresses, things get complicated not only by the increasingly aggressive and numerous zombies but by a wave of secondary missions that coincides with the appearance of several bosses at the same time that they break the patterns probably followed, such as forcing us to Surround or stop to defeat a group of snipers who have taken over the central area that connects all the squares and casinos. The map where all the action takes place is considerably larger than that of the first Dead Rising, already counting not only with squares, outdoor areas and areas under construction, but also with hotels, an arena, several casinos and various secret areas or rooftops. The perfect knowledge of these areas is vital due to the possible shortcuts to shorten time or to locate special weapons. The duration of the game is worthy and obviously re-playable, I recommend not watching any video or guide to experience the events as a surprise. There is not much more to say, it is a joy in this section, the large number of areas to explore and the possibilities to kill our enemies have no problem, it may seem continuous but it is still very [CENSORED] fun, each game is allowed to play as more you want either by following the canons established by history, saving every survivor or simply eliminating hundreds of thousands of zombies. Technically, the game looks very similar to its predecessor with respect to characters and their models. Chuck looks good as well as the most important secondary and of course the psychopaths, but the survivors in some cases look good [CENSORED] ugly, especially for the face and hair, a bunch of cardboard glued to the head is how you can see in some modeling. The variety of zombies is very acceptable and more when we find some with special suits that we find depending on the site, whether with construction suits, employees or security guards. The number of zombies on the screen becomes [CENSORED] high but only at a short distance this looks good, because if we look later we notice a filter that gives a strange blurred appearance. What I did like is the setting where it takes place and the notable difference between squares and shops inside. You can notice the pampering and care when entering the shops, restaurants or casinos, some are themed - recreated in the old west, a Hawaiian palapa. The exteriors are not far behind and we notice the strong inspiration drawn from Las Vegas with all the huge and spectacular neon signs. The blood and other offal when we leave zombie mothers looks exaggerated, just how we like it, being a joy to see the bloody show while we burst them, just that yes, it is not likely to admire all our work with bodies thrown away since after a while they disappear, but it would be too much to ask to see so many elements thrown on the floor plus those that are approaching us. The soundtrack is not so remarkable to tell the truth, the themes within the squares are the same as those used in Dead Rising 1 and if anything some licensed themes like "Own Little World" are the most I remember when we face the bosses. The voices seem correct to me and the endless sound caused by the constant bellowing and screaming of the zombies is brutal. To end. I loved the game, it will not have the same freshness as its predecessor but that is why it stops having all the magic of the saga. If you have not played it yet by this time I highly recommend it as it is available for PS360 and PC. Now, I have the game thanks to my brother's subscription to the Xbox Live service, which is totally free, but if you can get hold of the "Off the Record" version more than better, because it has a free mode and the story the truth is the least ...
