The person treated urgently in Toledo at the end of February for a rattlesnake bite is not a casual victim but a fan of the collection of this type of dangerous animals. At first, the agents of the Nature Protection Service (Seprona) of the Civil Guard who investigated the case believed that it could be an accident caused by a rattlesnake abandoned in the wild (in an area so unsuitable for this species as the municipality of La Puebla de Montalbán (Toledo), but after several inquiries they have been able to clarify some of the details of the event. The Civil Guard is now investigating the 31-year-old man who was bitten by a rattlesnake for "a crime of animal abuse, another related to the protection of flora, fauna and domestic animals, and a third against collective security" after having discovered that he is in possession of more than 40 snakes, most of them highly poisonous and lethal, as reported by Seprona. The man bitten by a rattlesnake is a snake collector VIDEO The 112 Emergency Service of Castilla-La Mancha received a call on Saturday, February 28, that a man claimed to have suffered a bite by a rattlesnake when he was walking through a field in La Puebla de Montalbán (Toledo). After a first medical attention, the affected person was finally admitted to the "Virgen de la Salud" Hospital in Toledo. The police officers began a search device to find the snake that, according to the victim, was a rattlesnake, an exotic species with a very lethal poison, which on Sunday 28 was found dead at kilometer 31 of the CM-4009 highway. within the municipality of La Puebla de Montalbán, after being crushed by a vehicle. Read also The Civil Guard is looking for a snake that bit a man who is in the ICU AGENCIES Rattlesnake The Nature Protection Service (Seprona) of the Toledo Civil Guard took charge of the lifeless body of the animal and began investigations to determine its origin and the possible criminal or administrative responsibility of its owner. After the appropriate inquiries, it was found that the man who suffered the snake bite was fond of collecting exotic animals on the farm of his residence located in Val de Santo Domingo. Collector or dealer The facts were brought to the attention of the judicial authority, in this case the Torrijos Guard Court, to request an entry and registration in the home of the now being investigated and verify the state and care of the animals, their legitimate ownership and the specific danger existing for both people and the environment in case any of them escape. With the authorization of entry and registration, Seprona troops, with the collaboration of the Santa Olalla Firefighters, accessed the farm this Friday and in an annex to the house, in a building used as a museum, with permanent air conditioning use to ensure the ideal heat temperature always above 20 degrees, it was found that the researched harbored numerous snakes and scorpions in their corresponding terrariums. Very dangerous reptiles With the help of several specialists in the management of dangerous exotic animals, they were able to identify by means of a chip installation and to correctly catalog the more than 30 species of reptiles present, up to 45 snakes among vipers, cobras -one royal- and mambas -two green- , plus a boa constrictor. Along with the reptiles there were also 12 scorpions and various material for their feeding and care, such as a freezer chest full of mice and small animals. Snakes intervened by the Civil Guard at the home of the investigated Snakes intervened by the Civil Guard at the home of the investigated Seprona By not providing documentation proving their legitimate origin and authorization for the possession of these exotic and highly poisonous animals, the Seprona proceeded to their immediate apprehension, in total 44 very toxic snakes and 12 lethal scorpions, finding a dead reptile.

Recently I was talking with Rubén Hoyo, our editor-in-chief, about the peculiar case of the Grand Cherokee and that is that, despite the veteran of the fourth generation, its sales not only remain firm, but also, without necessarily being a vehicle premium, it does have the perception of a large part of the public to be premium. What's going on? It might seem that this SUV is proof of everything, even time, but the reality is that a generational change was urgent, since it is also true that despite the efforts of FCA, each time it was lagging behind against last-minute rivals baked. And yes, after much speculation, the fifth generation of the Jeep Grand Cherokee is finally unveiled, which is presented as the most refined, technological and sophisticated in history. So much so, that now more than ever it could establish itself as a vehicle of the so-called premium lineage. The new generation sports a design that, while easily recognizable as a member of this dynasty, has little to do with the now outgoing model. In fact, they have a certain neo-retro air (the brand insists that it is inspired by the original CJ), which at the same time is inspired by what is seen in the Grand Wagoneer Concept, with the front and rear LED light clusters being slim, as well as the grille. and the general square lines which are most reminiscent of the next new flagship of the brand. By the way, if you're wondering what the "L" that accompanies the Grand Cherokee means, it is now available with three rows of seats and the capacity to carry six or seven passengers. With this, now more than ever it can compete against most of the rivals that already had this handy configuration (70% of sales in the segment where it participates demand with this characteristic). Those looking for the traditional five-passenger configuration will have to wait until the end of 2021, when the 4xe plug-in hybrid version could also debut. Well, let's not get ahead of ourselves and get to know the details around this icon of the American automotive industry: Jeep Grand Cherokee L 2021: Engine 3.6-liter Pentastar V6 engine 290 hp and 257 lb.-ft. of torque 5.7-liter HEMI V8 engine with cylinder cut-out 357 hp and 390 lb-ft horsepower Eight-speed automatic transmission with torque converter for both powertrains Three all-wheel drive systems: Quadra-Trac I, with single-speed transfer case; Quadra-Trac II, with a two-speed transfer case; Quadra-Drive II adds a rear electronic limited-slip differential (Overland 4x4). Air suspension that varies the ground clearance between 210 mm and 277 mm. Giorgio platform (shared with Alfa Romeo Stelvio) 2021 Jeep Grand Cherokee L: Dimensions Length 5,205mm 3.091mm wheelbase 484-liter trunk capacity (1.328L with third row lowered) 2021 Jeep Grand Cherokee L: Equipment 10.3-inch digital instrument cluster Up to 10.1 inch touch screen Uconnect 5 system compatible with wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto 19-speaker McIntosh sound system 4G internet connection WiFi connection 12 USB-A and USB-C ports Palermo leather upholstered seats Heated front seats with massage function 2021 Jeep Grand Cherokee L: Safety Adaptive cruise control, Autonomous emergency braking Fatigue detection Parking assistance Digital rear view mirror Traffic sign recognition Blind spot detector Lane departure warning Collision warning Cross traffic detector Rear seat monitoring system A semi-autonomous level 2 system will be added by the end of 2021 The new 2021 Grand Cherokee L will be built at the Mack Avenue plant in Detroit and its positioning will position it as a rival to, for example, Ford Explorer and until you see it live, it is likely to also uncomfortable or even face each other. For example, Lincoln Aviator. Do not forget that it is the strongest bet of FCA (now part of Stellantis) in recent times.

You cannot be fat, but healthy. A study finds that physical activity does not cancel out the negative effects of excess body weight on heart health. This is the main conclusion of a study, with Spanish participation, published this Thursday in the European Journal of Preventive Cardiology, of the European Society of Cardiology. The research refutes the idea that a physically active lifestyle can completely cancel out the harmful effects of overweight and obesity, explains Alejandro Lucía, from the European University of Madrid, who stresses: "You cannot be fat, but healthy" . The study used data from 527,662 workers in Spain, with a mean age of 42 years and with 32% women. Participants were classified as normal weight (with a body mass index of 20-24.9), overweight (25-29.9), and obesity (30 or higher). In addition, they were grouped by activity level: regularly active, defined as those who do the minimum recommended for adults by the World Health Organization; insufficiently active (some moderate to vigorous physical activity each week, but less than the WHO minimum); and inactive (no exercise). Risk of heart attack and stroke Cardiovascular health was determined based on the three main risk factors for heart attack and stroke: diabetes, high cholesterol, and high blood pressure. About 41% of the participants were normal weight, 41% overweight, and 18% of the people were obese. Most were inactive (63.5%), while 12.3% were insufficiently active and 24.2% were regularly active. 30% had high cholesterol, 15% high blood pressure and 3% diabetes, explains a statement from the European Society of Cardiology, which details that the researchers studied the associations between each group of body mass index (BMI) and activity and the three risk factors. At all BMI levels, any activity (regardless of whether or not it met the WHO minimum) was associated with a lower likelihood of diabetes, high blood pressure, or high cholesterol, compared to no exercise. "This tells us that everyone, regardless of their body weight, should be physically active to safeguard their health," sums up Lucía. At all weights, the odds of diabetes and hypertension decreased as physical activity increased - more activity is better, so walking 30 minutes a day is better than walking 15. However, overweight and obese participants had a higher cardiovascular risk than their normal-weight peers, regardless of activity levels. For example, compared to inactive normal-weight individuals, the actively obese were about twice as likely to have high cholesterol, four times as likely to have diabetes, and five times as likely to have high blood pressure. "Exercise does not seem to compensate for the negative effects of excess weight," concludes this researcher, who points out that the findings were generally observed in men and women. For Lucía, "the fight against obesity and inactivity is equally important; it should be a joint battle. Weight loss must remain a primary objective of health policies, along with the promotion of active lifestyles."

"In Galicia there are several victims of the violation of the human rights of Nicolás Maduro", explains Leopoldo López in an interview with Europa Press. During his visit to Galician lands, he points out that he has met with "the team of Venezuelans that works with migrants" and with exiles, which "is a relatively experience for Venezuelans, because the boom in the Venezuelan exodus was accentuated from 2016 and 2017 ". "Here's an experience that I'm sure is going to help a lot," he adds. In addition, as he did in Madrid, in Galicia he has meetings with "several people who have been victims of human rights violations", relatives of people who "have been arbitrarily tortured, detained and deprived of liberty by the dictatorship. by Nicolás Maduro ". "We are wondering who is willing to make his complaints public," he asserts, since "the International Criminal Court has already determined that there are sufficient reasons to prosecute Nicolás Maduro as responsible for crimes against humanity." "The idea is that many testimonies can continue to be added," he adds. SANCTIONING RECORD IN CAMBADOS Last Tuesday, the Local Police of Cambados (Pontevedra) initiated a sanctioning file against Leopoldo López for skipping the perimeter closure. The opposition leader was on a terrace with his wife, Lilian Tintori, and another couple. Now the Xunta will have to decide on whether to impose a sanction or not - as the city council is adhering to an agreement with the Galician Government to process the anti-coronavirus fines. "We were in Cambados visiting a highly respected artist, Manolo Paz, we stopped for a coffee, the authorities approached us and asked us for documentation," López explains about what happened. "Yesterday I was not informed of any type of violation of the rule or fine. Yesterday there was no mention of that," he says. "I don't know what the process is like here in Spain, if that is notified later," he says. In addition, he points out: "I left Madrid before March 26, which was the day that Madrid was closed." And he had an "agenda to share with Venezuelans" in Galicia. THE VENEZUELAN FEDERATION OF GALICIA, "AN EXAMPLE" FOR EUROPE On the afternoon of this Wednesday, Leopoldo López visited the headquarters of the Venezuelan Federation of Galicia (Fevega) in Vigo, where he met with the president of the entity, Manuel Pérez Vidal, as well as with María Fernanda Ruiz, head of the retired area. On the occasion of that visit, Leopoldo López maintains that "the Venezuelan Federation of Galicia is an example for Spain." "And I would dare to say that also for Europe", he assures. A model of this federation of organizations, the "main" and "best articulated" in Spain, which he sees as exportable to "promote" in order to organize the Venezuelan diaspora throughout "all of Europe." Asked if on this trip he plans to meet with the president of the Xunta, Alberto Núñez Feijóo, or Galician authorities, he points out that he "is not raised", although he is "very interested in continuing to come to Galicia." "VENEZUELA HAS A VERY DEEP GALICIA BRAND" This is the "first time" that Leopoldo López has visited Galicia, but he considers it "a place very close to Venezuelans." "Venezuela has a very deep Galician brand," he says. In this interview with Europa Press, he emphasizes that there are areas around his native Caracas that remind him of Galicia, places like Altos Mirandinos or Los Teques, which are "very similar." Even "different urbanizations are the same as Galicia, the architecture, the businesses, the people ...". "In Venezuela the presence of Galicians is so important that Spaniards are called Galicians," he remarks. "The image that Galicia has for Venezuelans is very powerful because there are many Galicians in Venezuela, many have returned." And it is that "the Galicians and Spaniards had to go to Venezuela in the middle of the 20th century", but "now Venezuelans are coming to Spain and they are being very well received." "I am sure that we are going to achieve freedom and democracy in Venezuela. More than half a million Venezuelans who are in Spain will return to Venezuela with talent, knowledge and creativity, and they will help a lot to rebuild our country." , concludes.

Although RivaTuner Statistics Server (RTSS) is best known for being integrated with MSI Afterburner and used to monitor and overclock the graphics card, in reality this program can be used independently and is, in fact, the most used by gamers to be able to monitor your system parameters while playing games. Today we are going to tell you what the Scanline Sync and Cap FPS tools are and how they work within RivaTuner, so that you can see the full use that you can get from this software on your system. RivaTuner Statistics Server (generally abbreviated as RTSS) is a hardware monitoring application whose main feature is that it allows an on-screen display of the frame rate per second (FPS) and other performance metrics even while we are playing (with an Overlay) , including the utilization and the temperature of the GPU, very useful parameters for all the cases. However, with or without Afterburner, RivaTuner is capable of applying FPS limits and enabling Scanline Sync on any monitor and we are going to tell you what you need to do to achieve it. What is Cap FPS? In this answer, the FPS is the frames per second that the graphics card sends to the monitor, and on PCs where the FPS exceeds the monitor's refresh rate (such as having 100 FPS on a 60 Hz panel) they can There are screen tearing problems and a highly variable FPS rate that can spoil the gaming experience and even pose a competitive disadvantage, especially in eSports-type games. tearing In most games, the best way to fix this is to enable vertical sync (V-Sync) or have a compatible monitor with variable refresh rate, although it is true that activating V-Sync in games can cause latency of fairly large entrance. With Cap FPS we can set the frame rate per second right at the refresh rate of the screen, making them synchronize. If the game you are playing offers an FPS limit, it is very likely that you want to use this instead of Cap FPS in RivaTuner, but the advantage of doing it with RivaTuner is that you will configure it universally, for everything. What is Scanline Sync? Scanline Sync, like FreeSync from AMD and G-Sync from NVIDIA, is a technology that seeks to replace the V-Sync standard. However, FreeSync and G-Sync are hardware-enabled functions while Scanline Sync uses software for the same purpose. It is particularly ideal for screens that do not have FreeSync or G-Sync (for example, the television in the living room if you use it with the PC connected). Cap FPS Where Scanline Sync differs from other V-Sync alternatives, it is actually hinted at in its name: Unlike other techniques that work with full frames as much as possible, Scanline Sync allows you to choose a specific scan line, one in the that the tearing of the screen is almost guaranteed and yet contained. With the correct settings, this scan line can be practically moved off the screen and provide an alternative without tearing and without the latency of V-Sync. When should you use Cap FPS or Scanline Sync? While RivaTuner offers FPS limiting with Cap FPS and Scanline Sync, you won't actually be able to use both simultaneously, so this is something to keep in mind to start with: you have to choose one or the other. The main way to decide between the two functions is to take a look at your hardware: FPS limits will work on most systems with the least amount of issues, and Scanline Sync is preferred if you already have a FreeSync or G-Sync monitor. In this case, the Scanline Sync job is already being done by the monitor and the GPU, so it won't need to be enabled. Scanline Sync is best used to compensate for the lack of FreeSync or G-Sync, but it also has a downside: it raises GPU utilization so FPS can be lowered. In addition, it can cause tearing on the screen, although as we can "move" it in principle it should not bother; If you're looking to run games on a 60Hz screen and your GPU has power to spare, this shouldn't be a problem, but if you're experiencing any we highly recommend lowering the settings or using Cap FPS instead. How to limit FPS with RivaTuner The first thing you should obviously do is open the RivaTuner server; You will find the icon in the Start menu, through an icon next to the system clock. From the main window, click on the «Global» profile and set the FPS limit of your choice under the «Frametime Limit» parameter, ideally matching the refresh rate of your monitor (that is, if your monitor is 60 Hz, put 60 FPS).

Photographer and biologist Romi Castagnino introduces us to new animals captured on camera traps from around the world. Although they belong to the canine family, African wild dogs are not wolves or dogs. They have their own gender. The African wild dog is also known as the Cape hunting dog, the hyena dog, and the painted wolf. This last name is precisely associated with its scientific name, Lycaon pictus, and refers to the coloring of the animal's spotted coat. Red, black, brown, white and yellow spots are drawn along the body of the canid.

Its largest po[CENSORED]tions are found in the plains, savannas, and open forests of Botswana, Zimbabwe, Namibia, Zambia, Tanzania, and Mozambique. They are very social animals that form herds with more than 60 members. They live and hunt in groups that are often dominated by a monogamous pair. African dogs feed on a wide variety of mammals, including small rodents and larger animals such as antelopes. Chasing their prey can last up to 2 km and dogs can reach speeds of up to 72 km / h. They have a higher hunting success rate than lions and leopards. Instead of suffocating their prey like big cats do, they bite them until they stop running. However, if it is a smaller animal, they pull it in order to dismember it and consume it quickly to prevent hyenas from stealing it. Dogs regurgitate food for other members of the pack that were left behind, such as puppies, injured dogs, or pregnant females. Since cubs are crucial to the future survival of the pack, everyone takes care of them.

Its participation is considered by experts as essential to try to stop warming, since it is the second largest emitter of greenhouse gases after China. Biden stops Trump-led arms sales to Saudi Arabia and UAEJoe Biden presents his "wartime" strategy against the pandemicJoe Biden returns the United States to the Paris Agreement and the WHO The United States today officially rejoined the Paris Climate Agreement, one of the commitments of the new US president, Joe Biden, Secretary of State Anthony Blinken has reported. "The Paris Agreement is an unprecedented framework for global action," Blinken said in a statement. "We know this because we help design and make it happen. Its purpose is simple and broad: to help us all avoid catastrophic global warming and build resilience around the world to the impacts of climate change that we are already seeing," he added. the head of American diplomacy. The United States returns to the international pact to stop global warming after its departure during the previous government of Donald Trump (2017-2021), who showed his skepticism in the face of climate change. According to Blinken, "Addressing the real threats of climate change and listening to our scientists is at the center of our domestic and foreign policy priorities." Shortly after assuming power on January 20, Biden announced that he will convene a Climate Summit for April 22, aimed at trying to coordinate measures and renew the effort for the transition to a more sustainable economy. Washington was one of the original signatories of the great pact sealed in 2015 in the French capital, during the Barack Obama Administration (2009-2017), in which Biden was vice president. The participation of the United States, the second largest emitter of greenhouse gases behind China, is considered by experts as fundamental to any attempt to curb global warming.

Intel is not going through its best moment and even so, it is competing with AMD in sectors such as laptops or gaming. But where it is not present is precisely in the high-performance desktop HEDT sector, since the last thing it presented was Cascade Lake with its Core i9-1980XE. Is Intel finished here or is it just playing dead to strike when we least expect it? It has been a long time since Intel has shown a sign of life in the HEDT range. You just have to look at that the top of the range of its processors for this sector was launched in Q4 2019, that is, we are going for a year and a half without news. AMD is moving in with the new Threadripper 5000s, so this could spell the final blow to a dying Intel looking to catch its breath after a great uppercut from its rival. Are you on the verge of KO or just preparing for something big? After 14 nm and 18 cores Intel will try to storm the HEDT throne of CPUs Intel-Sapphire-Rapids The AMD Ryzen Threadripper 3990X has meant a direct hit in the jaw of its rival, without response, without even trying, Lisa Su's men knocked the giant down, sent him to the canvas, but they have not defeated him. The 64 cores of the AMD option seems to finally have an answer, and it is that although the Threadripper based on Zen 3 and within the 5000 range do not increase the number of cores as such, the performance will, being bones hard to crack. So what is Intel doing in the meantime? The answer is simple: Sapphire Rapids with a rather curious concept of chiplets with interposer. The first thing we have to keep in mind is that Intel is going to go a step and a half beyond AMD, since, although it is based on chiplets, the design is much more flexible than that of AMD. The information that is handled is that the company will integrate 4 different chips: two chips that will be the CPU cores, these based on Golden Cove, a chip that will be destined to an HBM module manufactured by Samsung and the last one will be the GPU under the architecture Xe. Two versions that will raise the core count Intel-Emerald-Rapids Although there is no official confirmation on the total count of cores that Intel will integrate in this new architecture, it is rumored with two versions more than interesting. The first will integrate 56 cores as 14 per chip (4 chips for CPU), which would leave us 112 threads, which is perfectly possible given that we are talking about the company's 10 nm SuperFIN process. The second talks about a version that is somewhat more complicated to envision today: 72 cores spread over just two chips with 36 cores each. This theory is based on the rumors and supposedly leaked slides where it was said that Ice Lake-SP could reach those 72 cores at 10 nm. It is true that we are talking about Sapphire Rapids as a platform for HEDT as such, but the reality is that this is the server version of Intel. The real HEDT version would have the same properties and characteristics, but it would come under the name Emerald Rapids. The most obvious question is the most pertinent, when will they hit the market considering that the new Threadripper 5000 will be out at the end of the year? Well, according to rumors in early 2022, so in principle Intel will enter the game again, we will see if it is really competitive and can face AMD.

The seventh generation of consoles gave us titles which were memorable experiences, be it for their story, soundtrack or gameplay. They are basically video games that have been in current memory even though they were published not very long ago, and among them is one written by Ken Levine and his best-known work: BioShock. This title was developed by Irrational Games and distributed by 2K Games, which is available on PlayStation 3, Xbox 360 and PC. It was currently re-released in a remastered form for PlayStation 4 and Xbox One in the so-called: Bioshock The Collection, which includes the first game and its sequel, BioShock Infinite. The story of the game takes us to 1960 where our protagonist named Jack Wynand was traveling on a plane to go see his cousins in England, when suddenly the plane crashes and falls into the sea. Jack survives and realizes that everything is on fire. Our protagonist sees a lighthouse and decides to go there discovering that it is the entrance to a secret place. He decides to go down a bathysphere (a means of transport used in the game) and immediately arrives in Rapture, a city under the sea founded by a certain Andrew Ryan. The place is a dystopia, which is not ruled by capitalism, communism and religion, where there is no moral limit for science and art. But a world without a moral limit can have serious consequences. I don't want to talk any more about the plot, as it is one of those stories that is best discovered and contemplated on your own. Many of those who have already played it know what happens and the whole background of the story of Jack and the city of Rapture, but if you have never played this game, I will only describe the mechanics and gameplay, but when we get to the progression system , the thing will be a little different. Gameplay BioShock is a first-person shooter with exploration elements, where we will have to do missions and explore various areas of the city following the orders of Atlas. But our adventure through Rapture will not be friendly at all, since on our way we will run into the Splicers, citizens addicted to ADAM, a substance that later we will cover in depth, which are hostile and will attack us with firearms or some blunt object. In addition to the Splicers, there are security cameras and turrets that will make your life impossible if you don't destroy them. In case of cameras, you will need to hack them to avoid problems. Regarding this, hacking is one of the weakest characteristics, I could even say that it is the worst of the game, since it consists of making a mini-game of pipes, where there is an inlet nozzle which must be joined with several pieces to Getting to the goal is simply like making a puzzle by putting pieces together and making them fit together. Unfortunately this can become repetitive and tiring, since you will do the same thing over and over again, even if it is random, it does not stop becoming a nuisance. While we are touring sectors of the city we will be able to loot various furniture and surroundings, where we will have things like money, food and first aid kits to be able to heal you, ammunition for your weapons, liquor and cigarettes, which are distributed in various places on the map or in the area you are. exploring. It is advisable to explore all the hidden corners and places to get more things that will be useful on your trip. If you kill your enemies you can also loot them and get what you need. Even on the way we can find diaries in audio form, which are narrated by the citizens of Rapture and important characters in the plot, where they tell us about various things that happened before and after various events in the city and various characters. . You can also obtain EVE, a genetic substance that when occupying the plasmids is lowered until you have to recharge yourself. These plasmids are genetic enhancements created through the ADAM that you will occupy during your adventure in Rapture and they exist of many types, lagnos generate powers of electricity, incineration, telekinesis, ability to summon insects, etc. Some you will find them in an obvious way and others will be hidden. There are also the tonics, which are qualities that give advantages to the character and that can be used during your journey. They are separated into Physics and Genetics and enhance some of Jack's characteristics, but passively. There will be a time when you will have so many plasmids and tonics that many you will not use. If you are in this situation you can go to a Genetic Bank to place or remove what you need. If you have a shortage of bullets or health, you can use the money that you find thrown in the city to buy medicine kits, EVE and ammunition in various centers that you find on your route. Now, if we talk about the weapons that you can use, it is quite varied. At first you start with a wrench and then have a pistol, machine gun, shotgun, grenade launcher, crossbow, a camera for certain missions and a chemical launcher that shoots electric gel and liquid nitrogen. This arsenal can be upgraded in upgrade terminals, but unlike ammo and medical centers, you can only upgrade one weapon. If you want to improve another weapon or the same one, you will have to access another level to do it. There is only one upgrade terminal per level and they are heavily hidden. The first is easy to find, but to find the others you will have to explore each area very well. One of the most important characteristics of this game is ADAM, as mentioned before, it is a genetic substance that the Splicers want the most. The ADAM is collected by modified girls called Little Sisters who roam in Rapture who are accompanied by the Big Daddys, armored colossi that protect the little ones from any threat. They are capable of murdering whoever dares to disturb them and facing them is difficult because they are tough and it takes time to defeat them, but in doing so the Little Sisters are left alone and this is where the karma system of the game that affects the ending is covered. When the little girl is helpless, you have two options: free her or harvest her. If you do the first one, the Little Sisters will stop being a monster and will be human again, but the ADAM that you will obtain will be very little, on the other hand if you harvest them you will have more ADAM and you will obtain the slug from which this substance comes. Now how does it affect the karma system and the ending? Well, if you free all the girls you will have the good ending and you will get a gift, which can be ammunition, first aid kits, money or even tonics, but if you do the opposite you will get the bad ending. But what does ADAM work for in the game? This substance is the second currency of the game, which serves to improve characteristics of our character. This can be done in the Gatherer Gardens where you can raise the life, the EVE, buy runes for the plasmids and tonics, even buy them or get the same but of a higher level. In general, that would be BioShock. If we refer to the gameplay, which despite not being quite solid in various aspects such as hacking or combat, is quite good and you might like it. Perhaps because they are from the same people responsible for System Shock 2, you may not like the gameplay, but it is not disposable either, it is just different. In the visual and sound aspect it is quite competent and complies with being able to transport you in the city of Rapture from the moment you enter the city. As for the graphic section, it is quite acceptable, especially the remastered version, which is the one that was tested for this review that has lighting improvements and some details. Regarding the performance of the game. It complies without problems, the version of the game was the PC version and runs at 60 stable frames, and with respect to bugs or crashes, since none have been seen, the whole experience was without any problem on the part of the game. BioShock is one of those titles that can demonstrate why some video games can be art, it is a jewel that you cannot miss. You can get it for both PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 as well as PlayStation 4 and Xbox One, but I recommend the PC version that is cheaper than the console versions. If you have never played it, you are missing a work that for many who have played it, is an unforgettable work and that you will remember as a pleasant experience. Just enjoy this game.

The fight against mosquitoes and any other insects treated as pests is complicated. Several studies have detected that these animals have increased their resistance to the usual chemical insecticides to extend the immune po[CENSORED]tion to entire areas, as reflected in the latest research published in PLOS Biology, and that this survival is generalized in many of the more than 3,500 species of mosquitoes of the world. In the common (Culex pipiens) resistance has been registered to the four types of insecticides currently authorized and even to DDT, banned in Spain and in a hundred countries due to its toxicity, but which the World Health Organization (WHO) allows in case of epidemic outbreaks. This resistance is developed by the widespread use of chemical compounds to combat insect pests, which are transmitters of pathogens that cause global diseases such as Zika, dengue (six cases were detected in Spain in 2018), chikungunya, West Nile virus fever or malaria. “It is a genetic mechanism. If a certain biocide is used, the most resistant specimens survive, which are the ones that reproduce and transfer that capacity to new generations ”, explains Santiago Ruiz, biologist in charge of the Mosquito Control Service of the Huelva Provincial Council and one of the leading experts in this field in Spain. The most common insecticides are pyrethroids (permethrin, deltamethrin, and cyhalothrin). They are synthetic molecules based on pyrethrin, a natural compound that is modified to infer particular characteristics, such as greater resistance to light. It is present in most domestic and industrial insecticides to kill adult specimens, and among its advantages, according to Ruiz, is its safety when used in areas with vertebrates. But carbamates (bendiocarb and propoxur), organophosphates (pirimiphos-methyl) and organochlorines (DDT) are also used. Most insects treated as pests develop resistance SANTIAGO RUIZ, BIOLOGIST RESPONSIBLE FOR THE MOSQUITO CONTROL SERVICE OF THE COUNCIL OF HUELVA "Most insects treated as pests develop resistance," confirms Ruiz. An investigation carried out during five years in Spain and published in the journal PLOS ONE, showed that pyrethroids, although they are effective against the tiger mosquito, are no longer effective against the common mosquito (Culex pipiens), capable of resisting the most common insecticides and even the banned DDT. The ability of insects, as reflected in the PLOS Biology study, occurs in several ways. The mutations in the species to survive the compounds include from the thickening of the cuticle (the outer layer of organic tissue that covers the body) so that the pesticides do not penetrate to the increase in the generation of detoxifying enzymes that biodegrade the insecticides. At present, new generations of pyrethroids are marketed that are combined with regulators of the growth of insects or inhibitors of the metabolism that makes the mosquito resistant. "But the selection mechanism that favors the resistant ones continues to act, as it also happens with antibiotics", warns Jordi Figuerola, deputy director of Research at the Doñana Biological Station and leader of a CIBER group (Consorcio de Investigación Biomédica en Red) from Epidemiology and Public Health). Mutations to survive the compounds range from thickening of the cuticle to increased generation of detoxifying enzymes that biodegrade insecticides "The product portfolio is shrinking and you have to develop new effective methods or extend the useful life of existing ones," he adds. In this sense, Figuerola indicates investigations that are directed to the sterilization of males by radiation or by means of the genetic modification of the specimens so that the progeny are not viable. "But the ideal strategy is to reduce the breeding areas", highlights the researcher after noting that "the remains that remain on a plate under a pot after watering it, an abandoned pool or the bucket that collects the air conditioning liquid can be breeding sites for mosquitoes ”. Martina Ferraguti, a biologist trained in Rome who works at the University of Extremadura after receiving awards for her research at the Pablo de Olavide University in Seville and the Doñana Biological Station, advocates understanding how the environment and human activities influence distribution and abundance of mosquitoes to mitigate the diseases they cause. The biologist points out that, given the resistance of mosquitoes to insecticides, other forms of control have been developed, such as Bacillus thuringiensis israelensis, a bacterium of natural origin known by the acronym BTI that is found in soils and whose spores produce toxins that attack mosquito larvae, black fly and fungus gnat. It is the system applied by the Ruiz team in Huelva, but with preventive measures to identify if the mosquito also develops resistance to this bacterium. “Every year we do tests and we still haven't detected it. However, we alternate biocides so that the pressure on the pest is not done in one direction ”, she warns. The method is effective, although not in 100% of the areas or in the entire po[CENSORED]tion, so the control of adults is carried out with pyrethroids and the resistance mechanism, complemented by its generalized domestic use, continues to work. The mosquito is part of the natural system as a food source or part of the decomposition process of organic matter JORDI FIGUEROLA, VICE DIRECTOR OF RESEARCH AT THE DOÑANA BIOLOGICAL STATION Ferraguti also recalls the enormous impact on the environment of chemical products. The following warning can be read on most anti-mosquito or household insecticides: “Very toxic to aquatic organisms, with long-lasting harmful effects. To avoid it's releasing into the environment". "They also have serious effects on birds," adds the biologist. In her opinion and in Figuerola's, the best insecticides are natural ones, such as bats, birds (such as swallows and airplanes) or spiders; those using BTI, which are safe for people, and human behavior. "If we do not favor their habitat by leaving traces of water or we reverse global warming, for example, the po[CENSORED]tions of these insects will decrease," she concludes. In addition, according to the Doñana researcher, we must not forget that the mosquito is part of the natural system as a source of food or part of the process of decomposition of organic matter through the larvae. Therefore, extinction is not an alternative and a balance must be found.

This three-row, seven-passenger pickup gets the classic mid-life facelift. Suv Teramont Volkswagen 2021 Volkswagen Teramont debuts Four years after the debut of the Atlas (Teramont for Mexico), Volkwagen has made the respective facelift to this SUV that came to replace the Touareg in North America. This time around, the three-row truck offers a more attractive design, interior upgrades, a higher level of technology and more safety systems. Visually, the Volkswagen Teramont 2021 follows in the footsteps of the Atlas Cross Sport by obtaining the same front design. To achieve this, you get a redesign to the grille, fascias, headlights, and taillights. It is worth mentioning that because the fasciae are more robust, the length of the body is 7.5 centimeters longer than its predecessor. In the case of the R-line version, this new stance is more aggressive, through uniquely designed fascias, side skirts and 20 or 21-inch aluminum alloy wheels, as well as R-line badging. Volkswagen Teramont 2021 also gets updates to the interior, this can be noticed on the steering wheel, in the contrast stitching on the leather seats and door panels, and in the 8-inch infotainment system. It also includes a digital instrument cluster, a Fender premium audio system, ambient lighting, three-zone air conditioning, ventilated front seats, heated rear seats, wireless phone charging and remote start. To the above, we must add the suite of security systems composed of frontal collision warning, autonomous emergency braking with pedestrian monitoring, blind spot monitor and rear traffic alert. Optional equipment is Adaptive Cruise Control, Lane Keeping System, Park Distance Control, Park Steering Assist and Aerial Vision Camera. As a 2021 model year, the Teramont is available with two engines: a 276-hp V6 and a 235-hp turbocharged four-cylinder TSI engine. Both engines are mated to an eight-speed automatic transmission and are available with Volkswagen's 4Motion all-wheel drive system. Assembled at the Volkswagen factory in Chattanooga, Tennessee, alongside the Volkswagen Passat and the new Atlas Cross Sport, the Atlas (Teramont) will make its appearance in the course of 2020.

(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. Of cancer. Lifestyle and cancer "Diet and lifestyle play a very important role in this type of cancer," says Amanda Cruz, deputy director of the Cancer Detection and Prevention Group at the Imperial School in London. Cross investigates the role of red meat and processed meats in the development of this type of cancer. "Those who ate the most meat were at higher risk," says Cruz. This finding was again observational. However, excessive consumption of red meat often comes with other poor lifestyle choices that also affect the chances of developing this type of cancer. "People who tend to eat more red meat tend to be more overweight and less active," says Cruz. Men are at higher risk for the disease, but the reasons for this trend have not been fully understood. How it unfolds "Colon cancer is a slow-growing disease and symptoms only develop at a later stage," says Christian Von Wagner, an epidemiologist at University College London (UCL). Symptoms mainly affect the intestines and the abdomen region and include blood in the stool, pain in the abdomen or rectum, or lumps in the same region.

Its participation is considered by experts as essential to try to stop warming, since it is the second largest emitter of greenhouse gases after China. Listen to the page Biden stops Trump-led arms sales to Saudi Arabia and UAEJoe Biden presents his "wartime" strategy against the pandemicJoe Biden returns the United States to the Paris Agreement and the WHO The United States today officially rejoined the Paris Climate Agreement, one of the commitments of the new US president, Joe Biden, Secretary of State Anthony Blinken has reported. "The Paris Agreement is an unprecedented framework for global action," Blinken said in a statement. "We know this because we help design and make it happen. Its purpose is simple and broad: to help us all avoid catastrophic global warming and build resilience around the world to the impacts of climate change that we are already seeing," he added. the head of American diplomacy. The United States returns to the international pact to stop global warming after its departure during the previous government of Donald Trump (2017-2021), who showed his skepticism in the face of climate change. According to Blinken, "Addressing the real threats of climate change and listening to our scientists is at the center of our domestic and foreign policy priorities." Shortly after assuming power on January 20, Biden announced that he will convene a Climate Summit for April 22, aimed at trying to coordinate measures and renew the effort for the transition to a more sustainable economy.

We explain what system software is, what it is for and examples. Also, what is programming and application software. System Software The system software allows interaction with the Operating System. What is system software? In computing, it is known as system software or base software to the series of programs pre-installed in the computer or computer system and that allow interaction with the Operating System (the software that governs the operation of the entire system and guarantees its operability), to support other programs and ensure digital control of hardware. Ads by scrollerads.com The basic software is usually very simple, inaccessible to most users and manages the physical potential of the computer, according to the instructions of the operating system, with which it should not be confused. Different operating systems can control the same basic software, for example, since these are the commercial presentation of a program to manage the system software in one way or another. However, in many cases both terms are used synonymously. Among the main functions of the system software is the control of the transfer of resources, the administration of the RAM memory, the access to peripherals or the hard disk, in short, basic and fundamental tasks without which no system could function properly. BIOS The BIOS ensures that the computer communicates with the outside world. Some possible examples of system software are: Program loaders. Programs in charge of the execution of other programs and of guaranteeing the stability of the system. Operating systems. In fact, many of its components, since a certain part of the OS is part of other aspects of the system's operation. Basic utility programs. As the guarantors of the correct state of the hardware, or the energy, temperature, etc. meters. BIOS. Acronym in English for Basic Input-Output System, it is the elementary information control program of the system, which guarantees that the computer communicates with the outside world. Command lines. Instructions pre-programmed in the system that allow to carry out very basic and essential functions, with priority execution. Programming software builds and designs other programs. A programming language or programming software is known as the programs that allow the construction and design of other computer programs. They are called that way because they include formal languages or protocols for the organization of algorithms and logical processes, which are then executed by a computer system to perform various purposes. With this type of software, pieces of application software, system software or even other programming languages are composed. Video games are application software. Application software is understood to be all programs that do not concern the operation of the computer, but are installed in the system to achieve specific and determined functions: work tools such as spreadsheets, word processors, graphic design programs, among others; entertainment programs such as video games, audio or video players, etcetera; or simply information software, such as digital encyclopedias, Internet browsers, among others.

It cannot be classified as a secret, since everyone is jumping, but AMD is going to go directly to the graphics market in one or two more generations, at the latest. What was revealed today is from last Thursday and shows a registered patent said day 1 where Lisa Su's already have planned how to connect chiplets: Unified Last Level Cache arrives. Chiplets are the future of both CPUs and GPUs, where the problem as we already know is the interconnections between them and the resources that AMD, Intel and NVIDIA leave to share between them. The patent tries to explain how AMD would launch a state-of-the-art shared memory resource that in turn would be unified for everyone, a design very similar to what we saw in Zen 3. A unified, shared and modular architecture: Unified Last Level Cache AMD-Active-Bridge-Chiplet-Patent-Fig1 In the details is what is important and although the explanation above summarizes what Lisa Su's plan, the truth is that if we look closely at the patent it leaves open the possibility of an "N" number of chiplets. This is important, because it assumes that this new technology will be the cornerstone of a future project that assumes that the number of chiplets will increase as the nodes allow it. However, there is one concept that is not fully defined: Primary GPU Chiplet. As can be seen in the slides, it will be the cached data that determines and goes to the "Active Bridge Chiplet" or the "Caching Chiplet", implying that as in Zen architectures we would have a supposed I / O die called Bridge Active Chiplet. It is this that distributes the tasks for the GPU chiplets through their memory channels and through the Unified Last Level Cache. That is, instead of having independent chiplet caches as if they were CPU cores with their L1 and L2 cache, AMD with this specific chiplet would act as a monolithic cache. Addressable memory, a single top-level cache, and logs AMD-Active-Bridge-Chiplet-Patent-Fig2 The play seems well marked: not making the programmers have to change all their software and way of working to compile the loads to the chiplets individually. On the contrary, with this the developers do not have to take into account if we are talking about 1, 2 or 20 chiplets, since it is the Active Bridge Chiplet that is responsible for distributing the loads and work. Therefore LLC would be like a kind of L3 in the purest Infinity Cache style, so we do not know if this will keep or change its function or simply take a new approach while maintaining its essence. AMD-Active-Bridge-Chiplet-Patent-Fig3AMD-Active-Bridge-Chiplet-Patent-Fig6AMD-Active-Bridge-Chiplet-Patent-Fig3AMD-Active-Bridge-Chiplet-Patent-Fig6 In any case, AMD is going for the graphics card market, now it remains to be seen if we are facing a blow for data centers and AI, for gaming GPUs or for both as a fundamental piece of chiplet design within the company. What we do know from the January patents is that the design is very advanced and although these patents are simple diagrams, the work on the design table is finished, so it should not take too long to start with the real tests for these designs, if they are not already in it ...

After the events that occurred in the violent and discolored world of MadWorld, Jack Cayman is back in a title that maintains constant action and the desire to brutally beat any mutant that crosses our path. Anarchy Reigns is a beat ‘em up with brawler features in the third person, located in Altambra, a city corroded by a nuclear and biological war that ended everything and, incidentally, caused serious mutations in living beings. It is here where Jack will once again serve as our protagonist along with a new character we will know as Leo Victorion, who will take over half of the campaign so that we can also see the events from his point of view. We have a story divided into 2 parts: Blackside and Whiteside. Regardless of which one you choose, both are made up of 5 scenarios that in the end will lead us to a point where they intertwine, because ultimately the objective of both protagonists is to locate the same man for totally different reasons and circumstances, so they will constantly meet. The way the campaigns are presented is through small open worlds (not so open) in the form of scenarios with 2 types of missions to be carried out: those of history and free ones. There are approximately 4 missions of each type per scenario, a very limited number for the campaign; However, when combining them, the feeling that we are facing a very short game is dissolved, especially since it takes some time to unlock the missions. That's right, at first the objectives and challenges are locked and we must accumulate hundreds of points before we can release them; For this, the scenarios are designed in such a way that adversaries of different sizes and abilities appear again and again –and endlessly- so that we eliminate them as many times as necessary and thus increase our score. This is where free missions come in, because, in addition to imposing challenges that range from eliminating waves of enemies in a certain time to escorting a harmless robot from one point to another (to mention a few examples), they also have the objective of being a Alternative option to get the points imposed by the game, so we can repeat them over and over again until we unlock other free missions, and more importantly, those of history. Altambra is a very dangerous city, but luckily for Jack and Leo there is a great variety of items and vehicles that, along with their Killer Weapon, they can use to beat those who dare to attack them. ALTAMBRA IS A VERY DANGEROUS CITY, BUT FOR THE LUCK OF JACK AND LEO THERE IS A GREAT VARIETY OF ITEMS AND VEHICLES THAT, ALONG WITH THEIR KILLER WEAPON, CAN BE USED TO APPEAL THOSE WHO DARE TO ATTACK THEM This, rather than encouraging replayability, is a serious repeatability problem that breaks the fluidity of the story by offering missions that, although they are mostly varied, quickly become tedious and boring. To this must be added that the skill of the player will be an indispensable factor for the time it takes to progress, which may cause inexperienced players to lose their patience, especially on the highest difficulty, which is truly challenging. Fortunately, the combat system is fast, simple, and very enjoyable. Regardless of whether you use Jack or Leo, the layout of the control and the commands is exactly the same for both, so there is no need to worry about memorizing an immense range of movements for each. However, the way of executing the attacks and their abilities are totally different, so that Jack will be a little slower in exchange for strength, while Leo will be the opposite; learning to use their movements in conjunction with the weapons you find in the scenarios will help create devastating combos and, as a consequence, the score you get will increase much faster.

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.
