  1. Several users have reported to Microsoft this bug that affects one of the optional protections related to kernel isolation. Windows 11 has proven to be a very complete operating system to play with, although it has not been free of problems and failures (in reality, no system is) that have been solved through updates that also add new content or cover security holes. However, the latest system update comes with an error under the arm that our reader Javier García has informed us about and that several people are complaining about through the official Microsoft forums because it makes one of the functions work erratically. protections of Windows Defender, the antivirus that Windows itself incorporates. Specifically, this failure causes local authority protection (LSA) to be deactivated, one of the optional protections that are included within the kernel isolation security features and that, simply explained, helps us protect the credentials that we have stored in the operating system in a more secure way by preventing drivers and other items without a secure signature from being loaded into the system. This protection, initially, is deactivated by default in Windows 11 but those who wanted to maximize their security and have it activated have found that it has been automatically deactivated and, when trying to activate it, they have found an erratic operation like that of a user called Setacraft that after turning it on, he found that "the option was still on, but it was still asking me to reboot, so I rebooted again, and despite the reboot, it kept telling me to reboot to get it on, so I tried turning it off. the option, reboot, and turn on the option and reboot... and it keeps telling me to reboot even though the option is on." At the moment Microsoft has not ruled on this bug and at Vandal Ware we are going to contact them to see if they are preparing some kind of update to correct the bug or if they have any temporary solution beyond not updating Windows 11 if you want to have it activated (or to go back to the previous version in case you have already updated the operating system). In the future LSA will be activated by default Just this week we learned that Microsoft plans for Windows 11 to activate this LSA protection by default, something that they have already applied in the beta versions of the operating system and that they will implement in the "public" version in the future. Precisely, it may be that preparing the system for this change is generating this conflict. As for the problem, if you dedicate yourself to playing, Microsoft itself recommends deactivating the kernel isolation protections to gain performance (and reactivating them when you finish playing, which is very tedious) so it is something that in principle does not always affect us too much. and when we go carefully on the internet (something that on the other hand we should always do). https://vandal.elespanol.com/noticia/w5980/la-ultima-actualizacion-de-windows-11-viene-con-un-error-que-afecta-a-la-proteccion-lsa
  2. We tested these Razer headphones designed for PS5 but compatible with all kinds of Bluetooth devices that have turned out to be comfortable, with great autonomy and very good sound. The world of headphones usually leaves us with all kinds of headsets to play and at Vandal Ware we have already analyzed all kinds of the most diverse models, usually focusing on the headband "headsets" that we usually wear in front of our PC. What we have not done so much is talk about wireless button options, headphones that are becoming more common, especially for their comfort of use with mobile devices, something that we are going to change today by talking about the Razer Hammerhead Hyperspeed, wireless headphones of this type especially designed for PlayStation consoles but which are also versatile with other devices and with which we have received a most pleasant surprise. Specifications Response frequency: 20 Hz – 20 kHz Impedance: 16 ohms Sensitivity: 91dB @ 1mW / 1kHz Headphone power input: 5 mW (maximum input) Driver: 10mm Connectivity: Hyperspeed Wireless and Bluetooth 5.2 Active noise cancellation Weight: 53g Autonomy: Up to 30 hours with the charge included in the case No-Drop Comfort As usual, we are going to tell you about the input experience at the level of comfort, repeating ourselves as always like a broken record, telling you that headphones that sound very good are useless if they are not uncomfortable or, in the case of this button model, if they are They don't fit well in the ear and fall out every so often. Luckily, these Razer headphones are very comfortable headphones that fit perfectly in the ear. As you can imagine, their weight is very light and as soon as we put them on we directly forgot that they are on thanks to their comfort, the absence of cables and they also adapt perfectly to the ears, staying well attached and not falling off at any time, even when we have used them together with a mobile device walking down the street from one place to another listening to music or our podcast. In addition, the headphones include three types of rubber bands that can be easily replaced and that adapt to all types of ears to precisely seek the greatest comfort and at the same time that they remain well attached and avoid the cumbersome thing it is to have to reposition or adjust this type of headphones every few minutes. Top sound for one earbuds The next point, as you can imagine, is the sound, counting here with a very good quality taking into account the type of headphones we are talking about, reacting very well to all types of frequencies and having very good audio behavior while we play. on all types of platforms, also highlighting the cleanliness or clarity of the dialogues in video games or other multimedia content. Along with this good sound we have to comment that we can also isolate ourselves from the outside thanks to its active noise cancellation system that works quite effectively and that we can configure thanks to the Razer Audio app in which we can choose to activate or deactivate this noise cancellation. noise or opt for a mode that lets in some ambient sound, reducing noise but leaving the sounds of human voices clear in case we have to have a conversation. Speaking of conversations, as you can imagine, Razer's headphones include microphones both for the use of noise cancellation and for talking with our fellow gamers. As usually happens in these cases, this microphone perfectly fulfills its function and offers a clear signal of our voice without frills. Total versatility and good autonomy One of the strongest points of the Razer Hammerhead Hyperspeed is its versatility. From the outset, this particular model is designed for PlayStation and that we can connect to PS5 or PS4 to use headphones with Hyperspeed Wireless technology that reduce latency to the minimum possible to be able to enjoy a good signal in games avoiding lip sync problems or of delay in the sound that we can find with other devices if they do not have a good quality of wireless signal retransmission. But in addition, this dongle can also be connected to other devices that have a USB port and in fact, these headphones are compatible with any device with a port of this type or with Bluetooth 5.2 connectivity that is also present. Without going any further, we have used them without problems on a PS5, on PC and on iOS and Android devices without having a single problem with them. In addition, the aforementioned Razer Audio app allows us to control various equalization parameters of these headphones and also control their RGB LED lighting. On the other hand, the autonomy of these headphones is about 5 or 6 hours (depending on whether we have the lighting or noise cancellation activated) and they include a case that recharges them to be able to use them for up to 30 hours, so we can use them a while, store them in the case and charge them until the next use. As for the charging time of the case, it is approximately one hour. Versatile headphones with good sound The truth is that we are quite satisfied with these Razer Hammerhead Hyperspeed (PlayStation) headphones both for their sound quality and for their comfort, performance and versatility, also having a price of €179.99 which seems quite well adjusted for everything these headphones offer us. https://vandal.elespanol.com/reportaje/ware-analisis-razer-hammerhead-hyperspeed-playstation-auriculares-de-boton-todoterreno

  5. Inner Ashes is a first-person narrative adventure about Alzheimer's. It will arrive on June 30 on PlayStation, Xbox, PC and Nintendo Switch. Inner Ashes is a narrative adventure about Alzheimer's. It is a development of the Spanish team Calathea Game Studio that will arrive under the Selecta Play edition. We already knew about the project, but now its release date has been confirmed: it will be available on June 30 on PlayStation, Xbox, PC and Nintendo Switch. Accompanying the announcement of its release date, those responsible for Inner Ashes have shared a new trailer for the project, as well as the PS Store, eShop and Steam pages where information regarding these platforms can already be consulted.

This protagonist "must embark on a journey through his mind to discover why Enid, his only daughter, distanced himself from him." Playably, Inner Ashes seeks to repurpose Alzheimer's therapies and its symptoms as game mechanics: "Solve tangram puzzles to boost Henry's memory and allow him to unlock key memories of his life with his daughter Enid. Use sticky notes to help Henry find recognize objects, remember how to use them and unlock past memories", we read in the press release shared by the authors. https://vandal.elespanol.com/noticia/1350761626/el-juego-espanol-inner-ashes-llegara-el-30-de-junio-a-playstaion-xbox-pc-y-switch/

  7. Warner Bros. has announced a new Quidditch game completely separate from other Harry Potter games. You will have a limited trial on April 21 and 22. Harry Potter fans have really missed being able to play Quidditch at Hogwarts Legacy, where we can fly around the field of this po[CENSORED]r magical sport but not participate in matches or tournaments. It seems that Warner Bros. have taken note, because they have officially announced Harry Potter: Quidditch Champions, a new multiplayer focused exclusively on this po[CENSORED]r sport in the Wizarding World. The game is being developed by Unbroken Studios and although it has just been announced, it already has a date for its first limited playtest: it will take place on April 21 and 22, that is, this weekend. What hasn't been confirmed yet is which platforms Harry Potter: Quidditch Champions will be available on, but when registering for the test we are asked what device we usually play on and mention PS5, Xbox Series X/S, PS4, Xbox One , PC and Switch. What is Harry Potter: Quidditch Champions and how do you access the quiz? At the moment there is very little information about this project, although we do know that it is "a standalone Quidditch gaming experience, where players can join their friends to compete as a team." Those who want to participate in this weekend's test will have to register through the web, although that does not guarantee access. Harry Potter: Quidditch Champions has been in development for several years at Unbroken Studios, which is also collaborating with Rocksteady Studios on Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League. "Fans have been asking for a Quidditch game for some time, and we've been collaborating with Unbroken Studios for several years to create a gaming experience worthy of their expectations," said David Haddad, president of Warner Bros. Games. "We are now reaching out to the fans and want to invite them to play Harry Potter: Quidditch Champions to help us create the experience during this phase." https://vandal.elespanol.com/noticia/1350761633/anunciado-harry-potter-campeones-de-quidditch-un-multijugador-con-beta-esta-semana/
  8. It was 1995 and the "War of the tails", started in the 1970s, was still going on. The bitter rivalry between Coca-Cola and Pepsi-Cola had started from the very moment the Pepsi Cola Company was founded, in 1902, 10 years after the Coca-Cola Company. Although Coca-Cola used to dominate, Pepsi used price cutting and other tricks to gain ground. But in 1975 he launched what he called the "Pepsi Challenge" that took direct aim at his rival, declaring that marketing war. Lots of commercials and two decades later, he rammed the "Pepsi Stuff" promo campaign, the tagline of which was "Drink Pepsi, Get Stuff." If customers kept the Pepsi tags, they accumulated points to redeem for merchandise such as T-shirts, hats, denim and leather jackets, handbags and mountain bikes. It turned out to be the most successful strategy of this conflict between soft drinks. But there was a stone in the shoe that was about to become a real rock. the jet The scheme was promoted in stores with dots adorned with huge photos of supermodel Cindy Crawford. But the catalogs themselves were unappealing, particularly to the so-called "Pepsi Generation" they wanted to win over. To make a real impact, the campaign had to be reinforced on the big battlefield: the movie and television screens. The creatives devised a commercial in which a boy was seen getting ready to go to school. Some of the items that the company offered were put on and the number of points needed to acquire them appeared. "75 Pepsi Points T-shirt." "Jacket 1,450 Pepsi points". "Now the more Pepsi you drink, the more cool stuff you get," the narration read. Dressed and proud, the boy would leave the house and get on a fighter plane in which he would arrive at school. On the screen was: "Harrier fighter 7,000,000 Pepsi points." And that's it. The next caption was the catchphrase. At no time, in the commercial originally released in the United States, did that legend appear in small print that we are always recommended to read, which in this case should have indicated that this last item was not included in the promotion. Arithmetric Obviously, no one at the company took out a pen and paper to do the math before setting that price in Pepsi points for the fighter jet. When it comes to big numbers, many of us tend to reach a point after which everything that follows means "a lot" or "a lot." 7 million, in this case, fell into that category, especially when you took into account how difficult it was to get the required points for any of the merchandise. Each bottle of soda represented just one point and with the packages of cans you did worse: those of 24, for example, gave 4 points. So you had to drink a lot of Pepsi just to get the t-shirt in the commercial... and an absurd amount to claim the Harrier. The truth is that those responsible for the commercial never stopped to think how much it was, because for them it was nothing more than a trick to attract attention. But at least one person did. Not only that, he got what it took to claim it. john leonard Leonard was a college student always looking for opportunities to earn money with which he financed adventures, particularly his passion for mountain climbing. He was 20 years old and had a long list of jobs that he had taken since he was a child for this purpose. He heard about a commercial that offered the chance to get an airplane and when he saw it, he noticed the absence of the disclaimer, so he did the homework that Pepsi hadn't. He added and multiplied to establish how many soft drinks he needed to buy to get the Harrier; he subtracted the amount he had to spend to stock the millions of bottles and remove the labels, and found that even though the numbers were high, the offer was still a bargain. It would cost you about $4,000,000 to purchase a plane worth about $23,000,000. He pitched the plan to millionaire Todd Hoffman whom he had befriended on a trip he had worked on as an assistant mountaineering guide. Hoffman, several years older than him and with much more experience, asked him the necessary questions to establish whether the plan was viable. One of them led to the collapse of the plan: what would happen if, when they were about to finish collecting all the labels, the promotion ended. What would they do with millions of unlabeled soft drinks? ping pong Disappointed, Leonard gave up, but one day, flipping through the Pepsi catalog, he read something that opened another path for him. Pepsi Points could be purchased for 10 cents each, meaning the seven million points needed for the jet would cost $700,000. Hoffman wrote the check and it was mailed. Thus began something similar to a slow-motion table tennis match. Pepsi's first response was along the lines of "Funny! Here's his check and some gift certificates." Leonard and Hoffman responded: "If we do not receive transfer instructions within 10 business days from the date of this letter, you will leave us no choice but to bring an appropriate action against Pepsi." But the company beat them to it, filing a lawsuit in New York, ensuring that any legal action took place in a place known to be more business-friendly. They were seeking "a declaratory judgment establishing that it was under no obligation to provide plaintiff with a Harrier Jet," according to the final ruling. This unleashed a media frenzy that began painting Leonard as David fighting Goliath Pepsi, but eventually ended up judging him as an opportunist who wanted to take advantage of the poor multinational soft drink company. Leonard vs. PepsiCo The dispute dragged on for years. Along the way, Leonard turned down a settlement offer that Pepsi offered him after suing him. They also filed a lawsuit with Hoffman in Florida, which is why the court case still taught in US law schools is called Leonard vs. PepsiCo instead of vice versa. At one point, the fight was even joined by Michael Avenatti, who would later become famous as the lawyer for porn actress Stormy Daniels during her legal battles with Donald Trump and, in 2022, would be convicted of defrauding four of his clients, including they the same Daniels. But when Avenatti wanted to threaten PepsiCo with using a previous case in which the company failed to honor the promise of a million-dollar prize to its customers in the Philippines alleging a computer error, Hoffman refused, believing the strategy amounted to blackmail. Finally, in 1999, the trial took place in Pepsi's favorite territory: New York. the trial For Leonard and Hoffman, the possibility of winning a fight against not only Pepsi's army of lawyers but that of its insurers and advertising company was remote. But they had a better chance if the decision was made by ordinary people. Unfortunately for them, Judge Kimba Wood ruled out the possibility of a jury trial. She opted for a summary judgment. Another possibility that could have worked to Leonard's advantage was depositions, the procedural means by which one party asks oral questions of the other party or witnesses under oath. position. However, Wood decided that he already had the relevant facts, so he did not allow the depositions either. After the hearing, another long wait, until the ruling in favor of Pepsi finally arrived. "No objective person could have reasonably concluded that the commercial actually offered consumers a Harrier aircraft," Wood wrote in a lengthy document in which he alleges things like: "No school would provide a landing space for a student's fighter plane, or condone the disruption that the use of the plane would cause." What happened? In addition to putting an end to Leonard's youthful dream, Judge Wood left us wondering why Pepsi made such a mistake. But Andrew Renzi found the answer in a documentary he made for Netflix, "Pepsi, Where's my Jet?" In it, Michael Patti, former creative director of the advertising firm in charge of Pepsi ads, revealed that originally the number of points that the commercial carried under the Harrier was 700,000,000 million. But when they presented the ad to Pepsi in their editing room, one of the executives said he found that number hard to read. Two Pepsi executives who were present confirmed in the documentary that this was the case, although no one remembered who it was. Patti says that he explained to them that it didn't have to be readable, that it was not necessary to know that it was exactly 700 million, that it was enough to "see that it was a 7 with a lot of zeros after it to understand that it was impossible and funny." But he did not convince them. They took a zero from it, but it didn't seem enough. Then another, and everyone agreed that it was better that way. "They should have thought better of it. It was their promotion. It went through their legal system who reviewed it to make sure everything was okay," Renzi says. Had that been the case, that 1995 commercial would have been relegated to oblivion. https://www.bbc.com/mundo/noticias-65254954
  9. Lidia Marcos, a veterinarian at Balmesvet Veterinaris (Carrer de Balmes, 205, 08006 Barcelona) recommends reinforcing protection against parasites from March to October. And it is that Leishmania, fleas and ticks are especially problematic in the warmer months. For this reason, she advises not to be overconfident because, according to her account, "it is quite common to let your guard down when temperatures begin to drop." In addition, since the transmission of Leishmania is possible at any time, prevention is recommended throughout the year. "The ideal would be to always use a method such as the pipette, and reinforce in the hot months with the antiparasitic collar," explains the veterinarian Lidia Marcos. Prevent fleas and ticks It is also very important to prevent fleas and ticks, since these infections could lead to anemia and other more serious diseases. For the smallest pockets, it is worth knowing that the antiparasitic collar is cheaper than pipettes. She recommends Seresto and Scalibor. Although sometimes it is not the most effective: "In some breeds of dogs, especially the smallest, the pipette is preferable, because they can remove the collar," Marcos details. Amazon Best Seller: Scalibor The active substance in Scalibor is deltamethrin. This necklace is waterproof and does not smell. This is released and distributed over the lipid layer of the dog's skin, protecting its entire body in a week. It serves to prevent tick and flea infestations and also helps prevent leishmaniasis. Bayer's: Seresto Seresto is Bayer's antiparasitic collar for dogs. Its active substances (imidacloprid and flumethrin) protect your dog for up to 8 months. Repellent against ticks and prevents parasites from ingesting blood. It also decreases the risk of contracting vector-borne diseases and treats flea infestations. Repels mosquitoes: Dewel The Dewel brand is for dogs and cats. It prevents parasites and its strong point is that it repels mosquitoes, and also that it is anti-allergic. It works like any other antiparasitic collar. Just place it around the neck and it immediately begins to take effect, forming a protective layer on the hair. Pipettes: listen to your vet In the opinion of the professional from Balmesvet Veterinaris, it is better to bet on the brands that are sold in veterinary centers and pet stores. Also avoid supermarket own brands. In a matter of pipettes, he recommends Stronghold, Vectra 3D, Effipro and Frontline, because they cover everything well except mites, for which he advises supplementing with pills. Finally, she remembers that animals should not be bathed until two days after its application. https://www.elperiodico.com/es/shopping/20230410/mejores-collares-antiparasitarios-mascotas-13629555
  10. The 2025 Polestar 4 debuts as a fastback electric SUV with no rear window. The Polestar 4 offers 272-hp rear-drive and 544-hp all-wheel-drive models, with the former targeting over 300 miles of EPA-estimated range. Polestar says the 4 will go sale in the U.S. later in 2024, with an expected base price of $60,000. Polestar has a penchant for designing painfully pretty concept cars such as the 6 roadster and the sedan-like Precept (a.k.a. Polestar 5). Both beauties are planned for production, and the brand appears fully committed to bringing its conceptual styling to the masses—even if some aspects are undeniably unconventional. For proof, look no further than the all-electric 2025 Polestar 4 that was revealed today at the Shanghai auto show. Kiss the Rear Glass Goodbye The Polestar 4's styling is heavily inspired by the Precept concept, including a nonexistent rear window. Instead, there's a rear-facing, roof-mounted camera that feeds a digital rearview mirror. Every model also has an expansive glass roof that extends past the heads of people in the back. This creates what Polestar CEO Thomas Ingenlath calls "a new kind of immersive rear occupant experience." Our biggest question is what kind of experience does the massive blind spot create for the driver? For those who don't rely on their side mirrors, it could be a pain in the ass. Don't get us wrong, we think the 4 looks handsome as heck, with its short overhangs and fastback roofline. Its split headlights and full-width taillights provide distinctive bookends, and dimensionally it's somewhere between the high-riding Polestar 2 hatchback and the Polestar 3 SUV. Measuring 190.5 inches long and 60.8 inches tall, the Polestar 4 exists in the evolving gray area between hatchbacks and SUVs. It's built on the Sustainable Experience Architecture developed by Geely, Polestar's parent company, and the platform will also underpin the Polestar 5. New Performance Benchmark The Polestar 4 is billed as the quickest model the brand has ever built. While that's not much to brag about—considering its limited benchmarks—the 544-hp dual-motor all-wheel-drive model is claimed to hit 62 mph in 3.8 seconds. That's slightly quicker than the 2023 Polestar 2 Performance we tested, which hit 60 mph in 3.9 seconds. The company doesn't mention acceleration claims for the 272-hp singe-motor rear-drive Polestar 4, but it does claim to be targeting over 300 miles of EPA-estimated range. Both configurations share a battery with 94 kWh of useable capacity. There's currently no word on charging times, but the peak charging rate is said to be up to 200 kilowatts using a DC fast-charger; a 22-kW onboard charger is also included. Thanks to bi-directional charging, the Polestar 4 can also be used to power other electronics. This vehicle-to-load capability is available on some other electric vehicles too, such as the Kia EV6 and Hyundai Ioniq 5. Along with wheels sizes between 20 and 22 inches, the Polestar 4 is offered with a Performance package that includes the largest rollers as well as Brembo four-piston brakes and unique chassis tuning. The upgrade also brings gold-colored brake calipers, seat belts, and valve caps. Other options include the Plus Pro pack with color-coded exterior details, illuminated interior bits, and electrochromic glass so the standard panoramic roof's opacity can be changed. Inside the Newest Polestar Despite the polarizing decision to not have a rear window, the Polestar 4's interior looks properly luxurious. Spanning an enormous 84.2 inches wide, and with a 118.1-inch wheelbase, the cabin should be incredibly spacious too. Along with available heat, ventilation, and massage for the front-seat passengers, the rear seats have room to recline, and there's ambient interior lighting that's said to evoke the solar system. The sophisticated dashboard features a horizontally oriented 15.4-inch touchscreen running Android Automotive OS with myriad Google-based apps. There's an optional 1400-watt, 12-speaker Harman Kardon sound system too. The driver faces a 10.2-inch digital cluster below a head-up display. The latter includes an innovative setting that changes the text color from white to yellow to improve visibility in snowy conditions. There's a host of standard driver assists, including a driver-monitoring system that Polestar points out "only relays data and does not record video"—lest anyone be worried about privacy. There's also an optional Pilot package that enables the electric SUV to change lanes by itself when commanded. For those who care about the sustainability of their EV, Polestar provides supply-chain transparency and a full lifecycle assessment. The new 4 model heavily relies on recycled materials, from knit upholstery made from recycled polyester to floor carpets made from reclaimed fishing nets to door panels that are said to save plastic and weight. Nappa leather is also available, but it's said to come from welfare-secured animals. Coming to America in 2024 The 2025 Polestar 4 will first go on sale in China, with production set to start this November at the Geely-owned plant in Hangzhou Bay, China. More information regarding the North American models will come sometime in 2024, with the 4 slated to reach U.S. driveways later that year. Polestar says pricing is expected to start at $60,000—roughly $25K less than the base price of the forthcoming 3 SUV. When asked if Polestar 4s in all markets would come without a rear window, a company spokesperson confirmed they would. We think that's a bold move, but there's no looking back now. https://www.caranddriver.com/news/a43619981/2025-polestar-4-revealed/
  11. Melbourne has overtaken Sydney as Australia's most populous city for the first time since the 19th century gold rush. Sydney had proudly held the title of the Oceanic country's largest city for over 100 years, but a change in Melbourne's geographic boundaries has propelled it to the top of the ranking. The rapid growth of the po[CENSORED]tion of the suburbs of Melbourne forced to modify the limits of the city, located in the southeast of Australia, to include Melton, a satellite po[CENSORED]tion 35 kilometers away. The latest government figures, for June 2021, put Melbourne's po[CENSORED]tion at 4,875,400; that is, 18,700 more than Sydney has. The Australian Bureau of Statistics (ABS) considers the "significant urban area" of a city to include all suburbs with more than 10,000 people. "With the inclusion of Melton, Melbourne has more people than Sydney, and has since 2018," ABS statistician Andrew Howe told the Sydney Morning Herald newspaper. The expert called the decision a "technicality." consolation prize The inhabitants of Sydney, for their part, insist that this city continues to be the largest, when comparing the figures on the respective metropolitan areas of both cities available for June 2021. For ABS, the metropolitan areas of a city encompass its "functional area" and the po[CENSORED]tions that frequent or work within it, but may live in the small towns and rural areas that surround it. However, the Australian government predicts that the Melbourne Metropolitan Area, also known as Greater Melbourne, will overtake Sydney sometime between 2031 and 2032. thanks to foreigners Melbourne's rapid growth is largely due to immigration, Australian National University demographer Liz Allen told the BBC. Allen noted that unlike Sydney, which has a "historical hangover" from a time when it "didn't want to be seen as anything other than white," Melbourne has a reputation for celebrating diversity. The city is an attractive destination for foreigners looking to settle in Australia, offering employment and education opportunities comparable to Sydney, but has historically been more affordable than the port city. It is not the first time that Melbourne has held the title of largest city in the country. At the end of the 19th century, when a gold rush broke out in the state of Victoria, where Melbourne is located, the city received a massive wave of immigrants and this led it to grow rapidly and surpass -po[CENSORED]tionally speaking- Sydney until 1905. https://www.bbc.com/mundo/noticias-internacional-65299452
  12. "It's a new Panama Canal": this is how Egon Neufeld describes the bi-oceanic corridor, a gigantic infrastructure project that will try to link the Pacific coast of Chile with the Atlantic coast of Brazil. Neufeld, a wealthy owner of vast lands in Paraguay, says the highway - which will run for about 2,200 kilometers and cut through Argentina, Brazil, Chile and Paraguay - will make life easier for the region's ranchers and peasants to transport cattle. and export products to the ports that are in the Atlantic and the Pacific. The governments of each of the countries involved in the project have expressed their support, but Paraguayan President Mario Abdo has been one of its main promoters. "Paraguay is the fourth largest exporter of soybeans in the world. For soybeans to reach the Pacific Ocean, they have to go through the Panama Canal. Once the new highway is ready, there will be savings for the entire productive sector of around 25% in logistics costs," the president enthused on the BBC. About 525 kilometers of this new highway pass through the region known as the Gran Chaco, one of the main environmental reserves in the country, po[CENSORED]ted by scrublands and wetlands. It is home to jaguars, pumas, anteaters and thousands of species of plants, one of the most biodiverse places on the planet. This place has not always been kind to those who have wanted to settle in these lands. When the Mennonites, a Protestant Christian community, landed here in the early 20th century, they called it "the green hell." Neufeld's grandfather was one of the Mennonites who settled in the Chaco in 1930, after escaping persecution in the Ukraine. Nearly 100 years later, his granddaughter continues to fight against the hostile environment. What is the bioceanic corridor? The bi-oceanic corridor is an infrastructure project promoted since 2015 by the governments of Argentina, Brazil, Paraguay and Chile to link four ports located in the Pacific Ocean through a highway such as Antofagasta, Mejillones, Tocopilla and Iquique with the port of the Brazilian city Of saints. It is estimated that the highway will be about 2,200 kilometers long and the approximate cost of the total investment is US$10,000 million. The highway will cross the regions of Mato Grosso do Sul in Brazil, the Gran Chaco in Paraguay, the provinces of Salta and Jujuy in Argentina and the regions of Antofagasta and Tarapacá in Chile. Each country has the responsibility of complying with some sections and deadlines, however, it is not clear what the final deadline for the delivery of the finished project is. In fact, in January of this year, the presidents of Brazil and Chile, Lula da Silva and Gabriel Boric, confirmed that they would accelerate the construction of the sections that correspond to their territories. Perhaps one of the countries that is most advanced with respect to the execution of the projects is Paraguay, which already has one of the three sections that it has within its territory ready. "Section one of the bi-oceanic corridor, which is ready, has already allowed much easier access for businesses, because before the road was unpaved and when it rained it was difficult to travel. Now you can easily reach the different Mennonite cities and their colonies," engineer Alfredo Sánchez, government spokesman on the issue of the corridor, told the BBC. "For us, the biggest problem is that we have to weed the fields. If you don't take care of them, the weeds come back and take over everything," he explains. His community has managed to establish itself successfully in some sections of the "green hell", especially they have managed to build a profitable cattle and dairy industry and now they travel in 4x4 trucks and not in horse-drawn carts as it happens in other communities. For Neufeld, the highway will give him more employment opportunities that will attract workers from other parts of Paraguay. But what for some is attractive, for others it is worrying. As it happens to Taguide Picanerai, a young leader of the indigenous community of the Ayoreo, one of the first inhabitants of the Chaco. The Ayoreo community is already suffering the effects of deforestation, as thousands of trees were cut down for the cattle industry to establish. About 20% of the Gran Chaco forest, the equivalent of the New York state area, has been converted to land for cattle grazing and agro-industrial production since 1985, according to NASA satellite photographs. "The new highway will mean there will be more cattle ranching, which leads to a great loss of biodiversity," says Picanerai, adding that he is also concerned about further loss of territory for the Ayoreo. He explains that in the past the producers moved to the ancestral territories of the Ayoreo, impeded their access to water and restricted hunting space for indigenous communities. Life for the Ayoreo has changed significantly in just one generation. Picanerai's parents used to live in the impenetrable forest, where they hunted wild boar and turtles. His community was convinced by American missionaries who came to Paraguay in the 1960s to abandon their life as hunters, put on clothes, and settle with other indigenous communities. And much of their land was sold to farmers and ranchers, which has led to years-long legal battles to reclaim some of that land so the community can resettle there. "That territory is vital for us," Picanerai insists. The environmental threat President Abdo acknowledges that the new highway "will lead to a greater po[CENSORED]tion in the Chaco" and will generate "more commercial activity." But he believes that as long as the laws are followed, the impact will be positive. The president told the BBC that there were already strict rules for landowners, including a provision that sti[CENSORED]ted that "the most that people can deforest in the Chaco is 50% of their latifundio, and less if the biodiversity of the area It is considered more delicate. For the environmentalist Miguel Lovera, these measures are not enough. "The construction of new roads leads to further deforestation and clearing of forest in small patches, which puts enormous pressure on the fragile ecosystem," says Lovera, who heads an organization that fights for the protection of indigenous groups in the Chaco. On the other hand, for Bianca Orqueda, a young singer-songwriter from the Nivaclé indigenous group, the road has some positive aspects. Orqueda, who runs a children's music school on the outskirts of the Mennonite town of Filadelfia, divides her time between her community and Paraguay's capital, Asunción. And the highway will help shorten travel times. She is not convinced that it is possible for her community to continue to live in isolation, adding that the Nivaclé need to "get ahead," which for some may mean leaving the Chaco and their way of life behind. "I tell children that if they want to be a doctor, an architect, a dentist or a musician, they will have to leave once they finish school and go to another city." "Here in Philadelphia there are no universities, there is nothing unless you want to go into agriculture," Orqueda says. For Picanerai, the conservation of the Chaco is more than just the way of life of her indigenous community. "The rich biodiversity of the Chaco means that it is a global problem that should concern everyone," she says, adding that he is determined to protect his land from newcomers who move here after the new highway is finished. . https://www.bbc.com/mundo/noticias-america-latina-65274560
  13. The galleon "Andalucía", belonging to the fleet of historic ships of the Nao Victoria Foundation, is available for visits in the port of Bermeo. Ander Iribar tells us "in situ". The impressive school ship, which has been docked at the Artza pier in the fishing village, can be visited until the next 16th, from 10:00 a.m. to 7:00 p.m. The crew is made up of 25 men and women, mostly from different parts of the State, although they also come from Mexico. Pablo Gálvez from Córdoba has joined the group in order to complete and experience his studies in Maritime Transport and Deep Sea Fishing. The most curious will have the opportunity to board the galleon and tour its six decks, in addition to knowing in detail what the life of its crew was like, navigation on board and the history of those crew members for more than three centuries sailing the oceans. The 'Andalucía' is 55 meters long and on its main deck the bowsprit and three tall masts that support its seven sails stand out. The stern is presided over by a Marian representation, "La Esperanza de Triana", whose replica, the work of the image maker Antonio José Labrador, is also on display in the officer's chamber. https://www.eitb.eus/es/radio/radio-euskadi/programas/mas-que-palabras/detalle/9173082/el-galeon-andalucia--mas-que-palabras-radio-euskadi/

  18. A global network of fraudsters stole more than $1 billion from ordinary investors. The BBC Eye program identified a shadowy network of businessmen who appear to be behind this network. First, you hear a phone ring. An elderly man answers. The person he calls introduces himself as "William Grant", from the trading company Solo Capitals. He says that he has a "great promotion" to offer. The old man sounds vulnerable and confused. "He doesn't interest me, he doesn't interest me," he says. But William Grant is persistent. "I just have one question," he tells the old man. "Are you interested in making money?" Jan Erik, a 75-year-old retiree in Sweden, is about to get scammed again. The call was made from the offices of Solo Capitals, an alleged Georgia-based cryptocurrency trading company. The recording is difficult to listen to because the old man, Jan Erik, not only sounds confused, but tells the caller that he has already lost one million SEK (about US$96,000) in scams. But the person he calls already knows. And he knows that makes the retiree a good target for a "repossession scam." He tells Jan Erik that if he gives up his card details and pays a 250 euro deposit, Solo Capitals will use special software to track down his lost investments and get the money back from him. "We will be able to recover the full amount," says William Grant. It takes him a while to convince Jan Erik out of exhaustion. But after about 30 minutes on the phone, the retiree starts reading his credit card details. The company saved the audio recording under the file name "William Sweden Swindled". The BBC obtained the file from a former employee, but the company had made no effort to hide it. In fact, he had given it to new employees as part of the company's training package. It was a lesson in how to con. The fraud For more than a year BBC Eye has investigated a fraudulent global trading network of hundreds of different investment firms that defrauded clients like Jan Erik out of more than $1 billion. Our investigation reveals for the first time the scale of the fraud, as well as the identities of a shadowy network of individuals who appear to be behind it. Police know the network as the Milton group, a name originally used by the scammers themselves but dropped in 2020. We identified 152 companies, including Solo Capitals, that appear to be part of the network. They operate by contacting investors and scamming them out of thousands or in some cases hundreds of thousands of dollars. An investment firm from the Milton group even sponsored a top-tier Spanish soccer club and ran ads in major newspapers, giving it credibility with potential investors. In November, BBC Eye accompanied German and Georgian police in raids on call centers in the Georgian capital, Tbilisi. On computer screens we saw row after row of British phone numbers. We called several of them and spoke to British citizens who told us that they had just invested money. On a desk was a handwritten note listing names and details useful to scammers: "Owner, no responsibilities"; "50,000 in savings"; "From Poland, British citizen"; "50,000 in shares." Next to the name of a British man, a note read: "Savings under 10,000, very cowardly, should be ripped off soon." Most victims sign up with companies after seeing an ad on social media. In less than 48 hours they usually receive a phone call from someone who tells them that they can get returns of up to 90% per day. On the other end of the phone is usually a call center with many of the hallmarks of a legitimate business: a modern office with a human resources department, monthly goals and bonuses, days off, and contests for best salesperson. Some call centers play background music. But there are also elements not found in a legitimate business: a written guide on how to identify a potential investor's weaknesses and use them against him. From their first phone call, victims can be directed to regulated companies or sometimes unregulated offshore entities. Some victims registered with regulated companies within the Milton group are directed by brokers to carry out transactions designed to lose money for the client and produce profit for the stockbroker, a practice that is illegal under UK regulations. Some victims are told to download software that allows the scammer to remotely control customers' computers and perform transactions for them, which is also illegal. According to former employees of Milton group companies, some customers think they are making real transactions, but their money is simply being diverted to other accounts. "The victims think they have a real account with the company, but in reality there are no transactions, it's just a simulation," said Alex, a former employee who worked at an office of the Milton group in Kiyv, Ukraine. To better understand how the scam works, the BBC posed as a potential investor and contacted Coinevo, one of the Milton group's trading platforms. They connected us with an advisor who said his name was Patrick, who told us that we could make "70%, 80% or 90% profit in a single day." He told us to send US$500 worth of Bitcoin as a deposit to start trading. Patrick pressured our covert investor to provide a copy of his passport, and after supplying a false copy, we were able to continue operating the account for approximately two months before Coinevo appeared to detect the forgery. At that time Patrick wrote us an email insulting us and cutting off contact. But the money from the BBC deposit was already in the system. We were able to track it as it broke up into small fractions and moved through many different Bitcoin wallets, all apparently associated with the Milton group. Experts told the BBC that bona fide financial institutions do not funnel money that way. Louise Abbott, a lawyer who specializes in cryptocurrency and fraud, examined the flow of money and said it was indicative of "large-scale organized crime." Abbott noted that the reason the money was distributed to different Bitcoin wallets was "to make it as complicated as possible and as difficult as possible for you, the victim, or us, the lawyers, to find it." the perfect target Often the financial and social circumstances of the victims of these phone scams are used against them. People who reveal large savings are persuaded to make large investments. With people who feel lonely, scammers are friendly. Jane (whose name we changed for this story) had recently retired and was a perfect target. She had just accepted voluntary redundancy and she had almost £20,000 (about US$25,000) which she thought, if she invested wisely, could supplement her pension for years to come. In June 2020, during the first pandemic lockdown, Jane saw an online ad for a company called EverFX. At that time EverFX was one of the main sponsors of the top-tier Spanish soccer team Sevilla. The club's stars had advertised the platform on social media, and Jane found that it was regulated by the UK's Financial Conduct Authority (FCA). Jane sent a message to EverFX through her website. They returned her call and connected her with someone she was told was a senior broker. He told her that he was calling from Odessa, in the Ukraine, and that her name was David Hunt. His accent seemed to be Eastern European, she said, Jane, but she couldn't place it. Hunt took an immediate liking to him. "He really knew what he was doing, he knew how all the markets worked," he said. "I got right into this." Soon they were talking almost every morning, and Jane began to reveal specific things she needed money for: expensive roof repairs on her house, a reserve for her pension. Hunt used that information against her, according to Jane, telling her that certain transactions would "give her that ceiling" and "help her future." Over the next few months Jane invested about £15,000 ($18,000). But her operations were not going well. Hunt advised her to withdraw the money from her and invest in a different platform, BproFX, where she could get better returns. At that moment, Jane had complete confidence in David Hunt. "I felt like I knew him well and I thought he was protecting my interests," she recounted through tears. "So I agreed to make the switch." What Jane did not know was that BproFX was an unregulated offshore entity based in Dominica. Actually, EverFX being regulated in the UK did not stop it from defrauding British citizens. But the move to BproFX stripped Jane of even the few protections she might have under UK law. The BBC found several victims who were convinced to move to unregulated companies in this way. In September 2020 Jane agreed to invest £20,000 in BProFX, and Hunt advised her on various transactions over the following months. But she somehow kept losing money. Other victims told the BBC they were scammed in the same way. Londoner Barry Burnett said he started trading after seeing an EverFX ad, but after some early gains, he suddenly lost more than £10,000 in 24 hours. The stockbroker then pressured him to deposit another £25,000 to get out of his black hole. "I must have gotten at least six calls in the space of about two hours," Barry said. "They begged me to put more money." Jane faced similar pressure from David Hunt. "He told me that the more I put in, the more I would get back," he said. Instead, both Jane and Barry finally decided to stop investing. Barry had lost £12,000 (about $15,000); Jane, £27,000 (about $33,000). "I'm horrified, like stunned," Barry said. Both made dozens of phone calls to find out about their losses, but to no avail. David Hunt stopped answering Jane's calls. She knew that she had lost everything. "The day I found out was my birthday," she said. "It was during the pandemic. My family had a little outdoor gathering and brought me a cake and I was trying to be happy but I felt so humiliated. I felt like I didn't want to be on the planet anymore." It would be months before Jane could work up the courage to tell anyone what she had done. putting the pieces together The Milton group's operations were previously investigated by Swedish newspaper Dagens Nyheter and others, but the BBC set out to identify the main figures behind the global scam. We begin by reviewing publicly available corporate documents to map the connections between the Milton group companies. Five names appeared again and again as heads of Milton's business platforms or supporting technology companies: David Todua, Rati Tchelidze, Guram Gogeshvili, Joseph Mgeladze and Michael Benimini. We checked the five names in the Panama Papers, a massive 2016 leak detailing offshore companies, and found that four of them - Tchelidze, Gogeshvili, Mgeladze and Benimini - were listed as directors or senior figures in a group of offshore companies or companies. subsidiaries that preceded the Milton group. Many of these non-Milton companies can be traced back in some way to one individual: David Kezerashvili, a former Georgian government official who served for two years as the country's defense minister. Kezerashvili was ousted as defense minister and later convicted in absentia of embezzlement of more than 5 million euros of government funds. At the time of the conviction he was living in London and the UK he refused an extradition request from Georgia. There were no publicly available documents linking Kezerashvili to this pre-Milton network. However, when we examined the Panama Papers, his name appeared again and again as the founder of the parent companies in the network or as one of its initial shareholders. Behind the scenes, Kezerashvili seemed to be at the center of that web. In regards to the Milton group, there was also no publicly available documentation linking Kezerashvili to the scam companies, and no evidence that he had any direct financial involvement in Milton's ventures. But several former employees of companies linked to Milton told us in confidence that they had had direct dealings with n Kezerashvili and knew that he was involved in the Milton group. Kezerashvili has frequently promoted the platforms used in the scams on his personal social media accounts. And on LinkedIn, the site that connects companies with professionals, he has used his account almost exclusively to promote jobs and share posts about companies linked to Milton. The BBC was able to find other evidence linking the former defense minister to the Milton companies. Several companies owned by Kezerashvili used a private email server where the only other users were Milton group companies. His venture capital firm, Infinity VC, owned the logo and web domains of companies that provided the technology behind the platforms used to scam. Kezerashvili also owns an office building in Kiyv that housed both the fraudulent call center that sold EverFX and the tech companies that provided the software. These offices were raided by the police in November. He also owns an office building in Tbilisi that housed some of the same tech companies. When the BBC examined the social media profiles belonging to the four senior figures in the Milton group, it was clear from published images of weddings and other social events that they all had close social ties to Kezerashvili. Kezerashvili is friends on Facebook with at least 45 people linked to the Milton group scams, and one of the four main figures identified by the BBC is his cousin. The BBC tracked down Kezerashvili to his £18m London mansion and asked to speak to him, but were told he was not available. He told the BBC through his lawyers that he strongly denied any involvement in the Milton group, or having obtained financial gain through scams. Kezerashvili noted that, to his knowledge, EverFX was a legitimate business, and his lawyers argued that other connections we found to the people and technology behind the company "prove nothing." online, but in some cases the operations are not real. (Joel Gunter/BBC) Chelidze and Gogeshvili also strongly denied our accusations and said that EverFX was a legitimate and regulated platform. Both denied knowledge of the Milton group or any connection between EverFX and the companies we identified, suggesting that those companies may have misused the EverFX brand and computer codes to mislead users. Chelidze and Gogeshvili claimed that EverFX had never had a cryptocurrency portfolio and had no control over how its third-party payment processors channeled funds. Mgeladze also denied our accusations. He told us that he has never owned any call center that has fraudulently sold investments and that he is not aware of the Milton group. Benimini did not respond to our questions. EverFX denied our accusations and stated that it is a legitimate and regulated platform where the risks are fully explained. He noted that Barry Burnett's case had been investigated and he was found to be liable for their losses. In Jane's case, EverFX said her losses were due to her moving her money to an unrelated company. The company also stated that it had fully cooperated with the UK Financial Conduct Authority and that there were no pending regulatory complaints in the UK. The Sevilla football club only told the BBC that once its contract with EverFX ended, it had no further contact with the company. Last year the amount of fraud crimes in the UK amounted to more than 4 billion pounds sterling (about US$5 billion), and online investment scams are believed to run into hundreds of millions of pounds a year. But UK police have faced criticism from victims for what they see as a lack of action against scammers on behalf of British citizens. Jane took various routes, in her country and abroad, in search of her lost retirement funds, but she got nowhere. London police sought a report, but "it came to nothing," Jane said. Her bank couldn't help either, "other than to write a few letters." "And really, why should they?" she said, shrugging sadly. So she Jane did the only thing she could think of. She went to a dozen sites online and wrote reviews of the business companies that had scammed her. "I just wanted to warn anyone who might fall for it," she said. "I put a lot of effort into it. I hope someone sees it." https://www.bbc.com/mundo/noticias-65242210
  19. Raise your hand who doesn't feel sympathy for Snoopy. Now look around you, you will hardly see any hands raised. Because the comic strip 'Peanuts', starring Charlie Brown, the unmistakable and adorable white Beagle and his gang, has permeated the collective imagination and is the symbol of many generations. With few words, but thanks to his human behavior, Snoopy likes him, as does his double in real life, the dog Bayley, a celebrity on Instagram. Bayley is a mini Sheepadoodle dog (a cross between a poodle and an Old English Sheepdog) who has her own account on the social network. He is doing more than well: he has more than 217,000 followers, a figure that will be obsolete at the end of this story because the animal is now more successful than the one created by cartoonist Charles Schulz in 1950 and whose cartoons are published in more than 700 newspapers in everyone. The dog, who will be two years old in May, lives in the United States, and is identical to the comic book character. You do not believe it? Look at the following images and think for yourself. But we already told you that he has the same black floppy ears, and that big button nose so characteristic. Even the shape of his head matches Charlie's best mate. Although Bayley is a clone of Snoopy, in character they are two polar opposites. "Snoopy's personality is a bit bittersweet. But he's a very strong character. He can win or lose, be a mess or a hero, and still end up solving everything. I like the way he escapes through his fantasy when he's in it in real trouble," Schulz said of his creation, which in comics understands the importance of being realistic in and with life. On the contrary, Bayley exudes sweetness. Also, she likes to wear different doggy outfits and loves to eat whipped cream. In fact, she is a regular at Puppuccino, the special Starbucks drink for dogs without theine or caffeine that does not appear on the menu. As if that were not enough, she is surprisingly photogenic: she calmly poses in countless photos and videos that have catapulted her to success. The Doodle Dogs Club Instagram account presented the dog to its thousands of followers on Tuesday, on the occasion of National Pet Day in the United States. At that time, the account of the cuddly stuffed animal barely had 40,000 followers. At the end of writing this news, the spitting image of Snoopy already has 10,000 more fans than an hour ago and is close to 228,000 fans. https://www.elperiodico.com/es/extra/20230414/snoopy-es-real-bayley-doble-perro-tiras-comicas-triunfa-instagram-dv-86000277
  20. Porsche has teased the refreshed Cayenne's front end before its Shanghai auto show debut next week. In addition to a freshened-up exterior, the 2024 Cayenne has a slick new cabin, as well. We've already driven a prototype, and the refresh also picks up some engineering tweaks. The 2024 Porsche Cayenne will make its official debut at the Shanghai auto show early next week (Monday, April 17, in U.S. time zones). Even though we're just a couple days away from that reveal, Porsche has seen fit to throw one last teaser into the mix. The teaser reveals a small portion of the Porsche Cayenne's mid-cycle refresh, and none of it really comes as a surprise. The headlights, which we've seen under camouflage, look a lot closer to those of the electric Taycan. The recently refreshed Macan appears to have loaned the Cayenne its full-width lower front fascia too. On the whole, things shouldn't look too different, but it'll bring Porsche's larger SUV up to date with the rest of its lineup. The Cayenne's interior will pick up a healthy dose of new tech. Analog gauges are dead and gone, and in their place is a 12.6-inch curved display, again similar to the Taycan. There's also a 12.3-inch dashboard touchscreen running the Porsche Communication Management infotainment system, in addition to a 10.3-inch optional passenger touchscreen—because reaching an extra three inches to change the radio is so last year. Looks only tell part of the 2024 Porsche Cayenne's story, though. Earlier this year, we took a prototype for a spin to get an early taste at what's to come. In addition to some adjustments to the tire and suspension setup, Porsche's engineers also went to town on the powertrains; power is up on both ends of the trim spectrum, while the mid-tier 2.9-liter twin-turbo V-6 is gone and replaced with a 4.0-liter twin-turbo V-8. Hell yeah. The 2024 Porsche Cayenne makes its debut at 10:40 p.m. ET Monday night. Schedule your coffeemakers now. https://www.caranddriver.com/news/a43604042/2024-porsche-cayenne-shanghai-auto-show-teased/
