The warning of the rattlesnake, that famous chi-chi-chi, is one of the noises in nature that makes our hair stand on end, because when you hear it, you are already too close. But, according to a new study, published August 19 in the journal Current Biology, that warning is more complex than we thought. By analyzing the warning vibrations of the western diamondback rattlesnake (Crotalus atrox), scientists found that the snakes shake their rattles at low frequencies of up to 40 hertz, or slower, when the threat is far away. But when the intruder gets too close to its comfort zone, a distance that varies depending on the specimen, the rattle suddenly changes to a higher speed, emitting a warning at a higher frequency of between 60 and 100 hertz. When people in the study were asked how far away the rattle was in a virtual reality meadow, their answers were fairly accurate when the rattle was slower, or at a lower frequency. However, when the rattle accelerated, humans were fooled into thinking that the snakes were much closer than they really were. When a rattlesnake shakes its tail slowly, the human ear perceives each rattle well. But at a higher frequency, the individual sounds merge into a continuous song, which sounds "completely different to our human ear," says Boris Chagnaud, a neuroscientist at the University of Graz in Austria and lead author of the study. What's more, due to a perceptual quirk, rattling at high frequencies sounds louder to us even though it is basically at the same wave amplitude, or volume, Chagnaud says. "Maybe that's another function of the rattlesnake, trying to confuse predators," says Bree Putman, a herpetologist at California State University in the United States, who was not involved in the study. The secret language of bells Rattlesnakes are native to America and there are more than 35 different species that live between southern Canada and Argentina. When threats are seen, the snake shakes the tip of its tail like a natural rattle, rattling interlocking sections of cupped keratin, the same protein that makes up nails and hair. While humans are now beginning to investigate the intricacies of rattlesnake language, other species have been listening to the rattles of these snakes for much longer. For example, squirrels use the frequency of a rattle's rattle to know how dangerous the snake is. This works because snakes are cold-blooded or ectotherms. "Their performance depends on how hot they are," Putman explains; "Thus, a hotter snake is more dangerous and rings its bell faster." https://www.nationalgeographic.es/animales/2021/08/como-enganan-las-serpientes-de-cascabel-a-los-humanos-sobre-donde-estan-exactamente

When we talk about American brands in Mexico, it is more than clear that there is one that completely dominates the entry-level car segment in our country. Chevrolet, through the strategic alliances that General Motors formed in China, has brought cars to Mexico from brands or groups such as SAIC, Baojun, Maxus and Wuling. From Wuling we have the most important model of all in the entry segment for Chevrolet in Chile, the Chevrolet Sail, whose most recent generation was even reinvented with a hatchback variant. Now from China, Wuling presents the Xing Guang, a compact sedan with plug-in hybrid mechanics that promises a lot of efficiency at an affordable cost. The image really has a nicer design work with a front full of details in the grille, headlights placed in the low area and chrome contrasts in certain areas. The sides reveal a traditional sedan silhouette, while the wheels can vary between 17 and 18 inches. The rear part has lighting that runs throughout the trunk and that to a certain extent reminds us something of the Kia EV6 GT. Now, what catches our attention is its size, 4.8 meters long. If it were a traditional brand, it would be measuring itself against cars like the Mazda 6 or the Peugeot 508, but we are sure that Wuling will play the "more size and less price" card, very typical of access Chinese manufacturers, so with that size, it will surely look to target C-segment sedans like a Nissan Sentra or a Hyundai Elantra. Mechanically, it is powered by a 1.5-liter combustion engine and an electric motor that together develop 174 hp. The battery is 9.5 kWh which, according to the brand, would give it a range of about 70 km per charge. Inside, it uses a fairly simple and minimalist design, practically copied from that already seen in other cars of origin, although to the taste of the Chinese customer, they add a 10.1" screen to the center, a 7" digital instrument panel and some color accents to raise the perception of quality. Wuling even announced that they have plans to launch a completely electric variant. If the General Motors collaboration continues beyond the Sail, this model could be an important addition to the range in Chile for the compact segment. Clearly we are just speculating, but due to the characteristics of the model, it could well suit our market. https://noticias.autocosmos.cl/2023/12/18/wuling-xing-guang-un-sedan-de-gran-tamano-a-precio-razonable-y-que-podriamos-ver-en-nuestra-region

During recent seasons, FC Barcelona has established itself as a reference team also in women's football. With up to 13 major titles in recent times (four Leagues, two Champions Leagues in the last three, four Queen's Cups and three Super Cups), the Barça team is experiencing its most golden era both in Spain and in Europe. To this day, the dominance is maintained, with an unappealable first place in the F League (nine points ahead of Real Madrid, second placed) and in the top European competition (full of wins so far in the group stage): To date, there has not been a single defeat to regret. Which does not mean that the future, lost to the coach and sports director cause in the first months of the course, now seems uncertain until the opposite is said. “This is Barça, the club is above all people. I know that the section's project is continuous, continue betting and continue improving budgets,” Jonatan Giráldez explained this Monday. Paradoxically, he did so at the press conference in which he announced that he would stop being Barça's coach once the campaign concluded: “I had never considered leaving Barça. At that time I had received offers, but I was not looking for a team. “I was very happy with the decision I had made, at no time did I look for another offer.” You may be interested: Giráldez will stop being Barça coach in June And yet, this one has ended up arriving. And, in the words of president Joan Laporta, “one of those that cannot be rejected.” Everything indicates that he came from the United States. Specifically, as reported by Relevo, from the Washington Spirit, which manages figures so astronomical as to ruin the renewal already agreed upon with Barcelona. “He knows that we have limitations and a sense of logic that we do not want to change so that situations from the past are not repeated,” the culé boss resigned himself. Therefore, Giráldez will stop his season count at the head of the Barça bench at three. The double was Markel Zubizarreta, another victim of impossible-to-park proposals, in sports management. He closed the cycle at the end of September, when he broke his contract (until 2024) to become the new director of women's football at the RFEF. The 'no' was not an option in his case either, with the possibility of transferring the success story of Can Barça to the Spanish team thanks to the World Cup won in the summer. It was the first greedy opportunity that was not missed. And, given what we have seen, perhaps more will come. Several key players end their contract in 2024 “It is an opportunity to clean up and not have to run in March and April, which is when the important things are played,” Giráldez commented. It is true that the announcement of his departure allows Barça to gain a lot of time. However, the dilemma about who will replace him in the 24-25 and which players he can count on is a tricky one. All roads lead to the same problem: the economy. https://www.infobae.com/espana/2023/12/18/crisis-en-el-barca-femenino-giraldez-y-zubizarreta-fuera-mala-economia-y-muchas-renovaciones-clave/

During the tenth day of the appeal trial in France, Nicolás Zepeda, accused of the disappearance and death of his ex-partner Narumi Kurosaki, began his statement with fortitude: “I have waited a long time for this moment, despite the pressure, despite the stress , even though they are horrible accusations for something I did not do.” He went on to say, “the time has come, I am ready to answer the questions and above all, I am no longer afraid to answer them.” Zepeda, who was previously sentenced to 28 years in prison, expressed his confidence in the French judicial system: “If he had had something to fear and if he had not trusted French justice, he would have escaped. I was free for years.” In his detailed statement, he addressed several key aspects of the case. Regarding the end of his relationship with Narumi, Zepeda explained: “It happened in different phases. We had a certain geographical distance. I wish it had gone better. "I wouldn't have wanted us to have sometimes stupid, adolescent, unproductive discussions." Furthermore, he admitted that they were both jealous people. When asked why she “demanded” Narumi delete male friends from Facebook, Zepeda said: “I thought she was going to refuse. And yet she hesitated. She told me can I delete one and not the other? I didn’t think she would… That’s so stupid,” he lamented. Later, he was consulted about a video where he appears to give an ultimatum to Narumi, in which the accused warned her: “you are going to be the best girl from now on.” “You did not respect my conditions, you will never lie again or hide things from me,” Zepeda told him in an erased record that the police recovered, dated September 6. In response to the Court's doubts, Nicolás explained his perspective on the video: “Somehow he was talking to himself. Like in a diary. It's a mirror. To tell myself that you are stupid! Look where you are!” The supposed meeting with Narumi During his long, unflattering statement, he again admitted to having lied in the first trial about his trip to France in 2016, initially citing academic reasons: “Yes, it was very difficult for me to admit that I wanted to see Narumi again.” . “I know it's stupid, but it was used to make an accusation that was false. “I told myself that if I admitted that, they would use it against me,” he defended. Regarding the preparations for his meeting with Narumi, he explained the purchase of suspicious items: “The can was so as not to run out of gasoline on the journey.” About the matches, he said: “I didn't see any harm, I told myself it would be useful anyway. I go to church so I buy this for the candles (…). I tell myself that it could be useful for something when I return to Chile.” Regarding the detergent, he stated, it was to wash the car. Continuing on December 4, Zepeda said he met Narumi that Sunday and they went to a restaurant in a hotel in Ornans. “I didn't expect anything. However, things turned out well. “She was happy to see me.” https://www.elmostrador.cl/noticias/2023/12/18/un-contradictorio-nicolas-zepeda-explica-compra-de-gasolina-y-pasajes-interes-por-la-asfixia-y-mas/

GTA VI is now official and Rockstar has promised us that we will be able to play with it in 2025 so it is assumed that, by then, Nintendo will already have the successor to Switch in stores, so in recent days the trend has grown of fans who are playing to imagine that the studio could announce whether or not we will have a version for the Japanese hybrid machine. You too? We all know that Nintendo is not a company that in the last 20 years has wanted to lead the technology-based console market, so that decision has brought it some serious headaches, as it cannot aspire to receive in its some AAA machines that everyone buys year after year. This is the case of Call of Duty, Assassin's Creed, etc. GTA VI on Nintendo Switch 2? Many players are asking this question and now there are experts who wanted to answer it. One of those mentioned has been Richard Leadbetter from Digital Foundry, the YouTube channel that compares the performance of the different versions of each game and shows us how they behave on any known system and platform, so it is assumed that it has a sufficient knowledge base to give its verdict. It is true that Richard does not know what hardware the future Switch 2 will have, but we can get an idea from the leaks. And his opinion regarding the possibility of seeing GTA VI in the guts of the future machine are... can you imagine them? The Digital Foundry member has commented on what everyone thinks, that it will be “very, very complicated” for the Rockstar game to run, although he confesses that he would “love to say that it will happen.” What's more, he points out that "I don't think it will happen, if I'm realistic. It is a mobile chipset. We've seen a lot of amazing things on Switch. Switch 2 will be much better and will represent a proper generational leap that is forward-thinking in many ways. But the things that they seem to be implementing for GTA VI possibly go beyond that.” What if Rockstar takes a step back? Apart from remembering that Red Dead Redemption arrived this year on Switch, 13 years late and because the hardware of the Nintendo hybrid is like that of a PS3 or an Xbox 360, a theory that we could embrace is the following: What if instead of a GTA VI we will have a GTA V in the future machine? That scenario is more realistic and we could guarantee 99% that it will happen throughout the useful life of this new generation. Switch 2 aims to match its technical potential with that of a PS4 or an Xbox One that arrived in 2013, so we can imagine that a port of GTA V is very, very feasible. So fans of the Nintendo machine would be, in some way, satisfied by such a decision from Rockstar. Don't you think so? https://hardzone.es/noticias/juegos/gta-vi-nintendo-switch-2-tecnicamente-posible/

2,602,948 young people between 20 and 29 years old are eligible to vote today, according to Servel data. Added to them are about 760 thousand who are between 18 and 20 years old (INE projection according to the 2017 Census), of which about 250 thousand are 18 years old and voting for the first time. This is a generation strongly marked by the social outbreak and the pandemic: they are those who spent two years with online classes, which made their socialization, mental health and conversation about citizen issues difficult. They are much more demobilized than their predecessors and less interested in politics. A year ago, it was expected that this segment would concentrate the pro-Approve climate, mainly because many of the issues promoted were of interest to them, but more than half of the young people opted for Rejection. “Political science says that when uncertainty is great, people put ideals as a second level of priority in order to ensure a little stability. The effervescence of the outbreak, which was very youthful, began to calm down and an important part of the young people who previously wanted drastic changes, last year had already changed their minds and found that to maintain stability it was better to go more gradually," explains Nicolle. Etchegaray, executive coordinator of the Ciclos UDP survey. For this reason, today practically none of our interviewees dare to make predictions. There isn't much data about it either. The 10th National Youth Survey (2022) of the National Youth Institute (INJUV), says that more than 70% are not interested in politics. Despite this, “it is the highest interest recorded in the last 10 years, with 28.9%,” the conclusions point out. Even so, 80.5% consider that voting is a factor of change in society, 63.8% talk about politics with other people and 54.1% would participate if it were a social cause. The UDP-Feedback survey (November 2023) asked a series of questions associated with the constitutional process. 33% indicated that they would vote in favor in the December 17 plebiscite, while 53% stated that they would vote “against.” When looking at the profile of those who lean toward the “against” option, they tend to be mainly women, young (18 to 39 years old), center-left or left, and live in the Metropolitan Region. When cross-referencing the group of young people with the total survey in general, we see that those of younger age are particularly concerned about the rise in the cost of living due to inflation. But they are satisfied with the way democracy works and consider this system preferable to another form of government. https://www.elmostrador.cl/noticias/pais/2023/12/17/jovenes-y-plebiscito-rechazo-a-todo-lo-que-tiene-que-ver-con-la-clase-politica/

Just two decades ago, it seemed as if we had to write a eulogy for the saiga antelope. Decimated by widespread poaching and waves of disease, in 2003 only 6% of these flexible-nosed ungulates remained in Kazakhstan, Mongolia, Russia and Uzbekistan. But today, scientists rejoice at the saiga's unlikely recovery. There are now 1.9 million saiga antelopes across Eurasia, according to the most recent estimates released this week. In fact, there are so many saiga that the International Union for Conservation of Nature has raised the species' status on the Red List from critically endangered to near threatened. "There's a lot of pessimism about conservation and not much attention to the successes," says E.J. Milner-Gulland, a scientist at the University of Oxford and co-founder of the UK-based Saiga Conservation Alliance. "It is a vindication of 20 years of hard work by many people." To give you an idea of how far this species has come, in 2015, more than half of the world's saiga antelope po[CENSORED]tion was lost to a mysterious blood disease. "This is phenomenal news," Joel Berger, an ecologist at Colorado State University and senior scientist at the Wildlife Conservation Society, said in an email. “At a time when so many species and po[CENSORED]tions are in deep decline, witnessing the recovery of the saiga – a species that deserves more recognition in its own right. Is something we should all celebrate,” he says. The downward spiral of the saiga Those who have paid attention to the saiga saga know that it has been a wild ride. "Twenty years ago it was the mammal whose threat status had increased most rapidly," explains Milner-Gulland. "The po[CENSORED]tion had plummeted more than 90% in a really short period of a few years, so it was directly in critical danger." Regarding what happened, Milner-Gulland explains that the fall of the saiga can be attributed to several factors. To begin with, saiga horn has great value in China, Singapore, Vietnam and Malaysia as a component of traditional medicine. And this demand, together with the disintegration of the Soviet Union, caused a spectacular increase in hunting. "The economies of these countries collapsed," he explains. "And they lived in very harsh conditions in the steppe. So they resorted to poaching." Fences along the border between Kazakhstan and Uzbekistan also put a barrier in the middle of the saiga's migratory route, while infrastructure development cut into saiga habitat. Finally, an unknown trigger turned a microbe naturally present in the saiga's characteristic snout into a virulent pathogen, causing mass die-offs. For all these reasons, the IUCN has chosen not to completely delist the saiga. "The near-threatened category is appropriate for the saiga, because we know that at any time a large number of specimens could fall dead again," says Milner-Gulland. "They are very vulnerable." https://www.nationalgeographic.es/animales/2023/12/antilope-nariz-flexible-saiga-casi-desapare-aumenta-esperanza-recuperacion-salvacion

On December 13, the last unit of the Kia Rio, a model that was exported to Chile from that plant, left the production lines of the Pesquería plant (Mexico). This news does not take anyone by surprise, for the simple fact that the K3, its replacement, has already been presented regionally and has a debut date in Chile. The Rio began manufacturing in Mexico in December 2016, and since then it has become one of the protagonists of the local market, being exported to all regional markets in both sedan and hatchback bodies. Let's talk about the new K3. It measures 4,545 mm long, 1,765 mm wide, 1,475 mm high and has 2,670 mm between the axles. If we compare it with the Rio sedan, it is 160 mm longer, 40 mm wider, 15 mm higher and has 90 mm more between the axles. The trunk capacity also grows from 505 to 544 liters. Thanks to these new dimensions, the brand emphasizes that the interior habitability and loading capacity of the new model is at the level of the upper segment. Regarding the exterior design, the first change that stands out is its style inspired by what Kia already showed with the new K5, and which is based on the 'Opposites United' design philosophy, with a much more daring and futuristic appearance. , and at the same time advances in sportiness by taking the fastback-type silhouette of its older brother. With this we see a more aggressive front and elements that give it a sharper stance, where the traditional reinterpreted Tiger Nose grille stands out, and which is flanked by new headlights that include a very distinctive LED lighting signature. On the sides there are black applications on the wheel arches, and a chiseled double-line waist that grows from the fender to create a more robust appearance. The drop of the roof, as we said, shows off an elegant style, while at the rear, the new K3 shows off a clean design, with a thin line of LED lighting that connects both lights as a decorative element. Inside, the new Kia K3 offers a modern atmosphere and a good appreciation of quality. The brand says it combines functionality with a level of fit and finish that surpasses its competitors. Highlights include the integration of the instrument cluster and 10.25-inch infotainment screen into a single unit, the debut of a newly designed steering wheel inspired by the EV6, and a rather minimalist dashboard designed horizontally. Connectivity is guaranteed with the wireless connection to Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, but up to two devices can also be linked simultaneously via Bluetooth. It also offers USB Type-C ports for front and rear passengers. The brand indicates that "a deeply reinforced structure" is used for the development of the new K3, although we do not know if it is completely new or was improved with structural reinforcements and the use of better steels. The suspension system was also redesigned "to offer an excellent balance between comfort and control." It is worth saying that the Rio sedan today has independent McPherson front suspension and torsion beam rear suspension. Another important change is the abandonment of the 1.4-liter Kappa engine currently used in the Rio sedan, and its replacement by the 1.6-liter four-cylinder from the Gamma family, which is also fitted in the Cerato. This block delivers 121 HP and 157 Nm of torque, and will be associated with a six-speed manual or automatic transmission. https://noticias.autocosmos.cl/2023/12/17/kia-finaliza-la-produccion-del-rio-en-mexico-y-comienza-la-era-k3

Real Madrid's visit to Aranda de Duero fell like the Jackpot of the lottery in the Burgos town, however, logistical problems have turned that first feeling into uncertainty. “Maybe if another team came here, it wouldn't have been played today.” These were the words spoken by Sergio González after Cádiz's cup elimination at the hands of Arandina. That match was marked by the state of the grass, waterlogged by rainfall. The coach of the Andalusian team slipped the idea that the suspension of the match would have been on the table if Arandina's rival that night was someone with a greater magnitude. His words gained more strength once the draw for the round of 32 took place in which Real Madrid was paired with the Burgos team. Just a few hours later, the Burgos City Council offered El Plantío, Burgos' stadium, for the clash. “It is an opportunity for the city and an obligatory gesture for the team of the neighboring town of Aranda de Duero,” said Cristina Ayala, mayor of the city. The answer was immediate. Antonio Linaje, mayor of Aranda de Duero, spoke immediately. “We thank you very much, but the game will be played in Aranda, at the Juan Carlos Higuero.” A phone call unleashes the storm “I thank you for your personal call and your availability as mayor of the capital of our province, at a time when we might need it. It is what has the most value. If I have fought for something, it is because Arandina is Aranda de Duero, as Aranda is Arandina,” said Virginia Martínez, president of the club. After the friendly declarations, the storm arrives. Maximum tension between Arandina and the Aranda de Duero City Council. After disagreements over economic figures and legal mechanisms to receive the money, the exchange of accusations between the two sides has ended up surpassing all types of institutional barriers. A call between Francisco Galán, secretary of Arandina, and Belén Esteban, Councilor for Sports, blew everything up in the air. Also present were Virginia Martínez, president of the club, and Antonio Linaje, mayor of Aranda. According to the Correo de Burgos, the tension took shape when the club secretary, according to the mayor, “snatched Virginia's phone” and snapped at her. “You are going to eat my eggs.” “I told him: you are making a mistake, you are not saying it to me like Antonio Linaje but to the mayor of Aranda. And then he repeated 'you're going to eat my balls, you and your [CENSORED] councillor.' I don't know who she thinks she is, but it's the worst thing that's happened to this shitty town,' and she hung up the call." Club and town hall, distanced The club has broken relations with the city council. They point out in their official statement that, “given the serious public accusations of Antonio Linaje - by questioning the balance of accounts for ticket sales in the matches against Cádiz and Murcia - and the bad attitude of the council towards the club, they request a new interlocutor to “be able to begin the preparation work for the event of greatest general, social and sporting interest in the history of our club.” https://www.infobae.com/espana/2023/12/17/terremoto-en-la-arandina-por-el-partido-de-copa-del-rey-ante-el-real-madrid-me-vais-a-comer-los-huevos/

The Chilean Maite Alberdi (Santiago, 1983) has won the Forqué Award for the best Latin American film in the 29th edition of these awards granted by Spanish audiovisual producers, a gala in which some of the winners asked to stop the war in Loop. Alberdi's film, a documentary that tells the love story between journalist Augusto Góngora and actress and former minister Paulina Urrutia in a country marked by dictatorship, also aspires to the Goya for best Ibero-American film.

They are like a tsunami that begins with a rumor, a sound that can be heard in the distance, but one day when you realize it, it is already upon you. Something like this has happened with the so-called Suika Game – also known as Watermelon Game – which is becoming the game of the moment due to its simplicity of approach and the madness of fun it is capable of causing. Don't think he's the first to achieve something like this. We have already seen similar cases in the past of titles that arrive without making too much noise and suddenly, from one day to the next, they are on everyone's lips.

If you have an AMD brand processor, you have to know one thing, and that is that, apparently, the company itself would have placed fuses inside its CPUs to find out if we would have voluntarily overclocked the component, in order to avoid covering our lives. warranty. It is a very common process. Snitches have been in our teams for years, for example, the most common would be a sticker that changes color when in contact with liquid, in order to know if it has suffered water damage or not, also avoiding having to repair it for free. Snitch fuse on AMD This device is not found in all processors, only in the highest-end ones, and where repairs due to failures can be more expensive for AMD. Of course, the company itself ensures that even if you overclock, and they detect it, if the error comes from somewhere else, the warranty will still cover you. However, if we start doing experiments and load the CPU for exceeding the allowed limit, AMD will wash its hands, show you that you overclocked and you will be left without a processor. The models that currently have this fuse are the Ryzen Threadripper Pro 7000, so if you have another version, you can rest assured, although be careful anyway, breaking your processor, I don't think it's something anyone wants, although at least no one will know the reason. If you have one of these, you already know, if you do it, even just once, it will be stored forever, just like we mentioned about liquid damage. Months may pass, you have a problem elsewhere, and the warranty does not cover it because the report is positive, so, even if you do it carefully, it is not recommended, because of what may happen to you in the future, regardless of the overclock. The company assures that they will not reject any guarantee, even if the fuse is positive, if the error does not come directly from the overclock, however, we all know how things work, so I would not risk it. One of the messages that AMD shows us in its disclaimer is the following: "Overclocking mode will now be permanently enabled for this processor and will effectively void the warranty, as stated above" This tells us what we were talking about. Once activated, even for a single moment, we lose any option to discuss the warranty when the time comes to need it, so we will have to pray that they determine that it is not the fault of the overclock. In short, if you plan to increase the frequency of your AMD processor, be careful, from this moment you know that it is your responsibility, and any damage caused will be paid by you. So if you do it, go little by little and don't blow up the CPU. And you, did you know this about AMD? Have you ever damaged a processor by overclocking? If so, did you use the warranty or, despite not having a snitch, did you know that they could reject it and you made the mistake? Leave us a comment with your experiences and opinions. https://hardzone.es/noticias/procesadores/overclock-procesador-amd-fusible-detectarlo/

The Minister of Finance, Mario Marcel, asked citizens this Friday to “become aware of the enormous social damage that tax fraud represents” after the historic coup perpetrated against tax evasion and after which at least 55 businessmen were arrested. “It is the largest tax fraud that we have known so far,” said the head of the tax portfolio, who assured that the magnitude of what was defrauded “is equivalent to the construction of 25 family health centers, three highly complex hospitals and more.” of 15 high schools.” It is worth mentioning that the Money Laundering Investigative Brigade of the Investigative Police (PDI) arrested 55 businessmen for issuing nearly 100,000 false invoices that would represent a tax loss of approximately 240,000 million Chilean pesos (about 275.5 million dollars). . Police personnel raided 83 homes in 10 regions of the country on Thursday night to disrupt this alleged criminal organization that has operated since 2015 with medium-sized companies, many of them linked to the construction and services area. Marcel stated that “these people created companies with the sole purpose of issuing fictitious invoices that would later serve to allow nearly 3,300 companies to make charges or generate false credits and thus reduce their tax payments.” This case, he added, “makes us aware of the magnitude and enormous injustice that tax fraud represents in Chile.” The Secretary of State also took the opportunity to call for the fiscal pact promoted by the Government. “A series of measures have been proposed to increase tax compliance and combat tax evasion. These include, among other things, the figure of the anonymous whistleblower, effective collaboration and increased penalties, among other things, for the issuance of false invoices,” he mentioned. 9 thousand Carabineros patrols, two high security prisons and nearly six thousand houses The head of the General Secretariat of Government (Segegob), Minister Camila Vallejo, also addressed the case, highlighting that the arrest of more than 50 businessmen shows that “the SII complaint bore fruit, the institutions function and justice acts once further". The head of Segegob also stressed that this is a crime of such magnitude that it is equivalent to several Cesfams, but also more than nine thousand Carabineros patrols, two high-security prisons and nearly six thousand houses. In short, Minister Vallejo concluded, “all improvements to the living conditions of people do not reach those who need it most.” Therefore, in her opinion, “this blow to collar and tie crime is another concrete example that our country is making progress in the fight against organized crime, drug trafficking and corruption.” The publication was shared by President Boric on his X account. https://www.elmostrador.cl/noticias/pais/2023/12/15/gobierno-llama-a-tomar-conciencia-del-enorme-del-dano-social-causado-por-empresarios-detenidos/

My love of wildlife comes from my parents, who raised me to love and respect the natural world. As a shy teenager, I felt that nature was a place where I belonged. I have been taking photos for 39 years. Documenting nature comes naturally to me: we are all part of it. You don't need to ask permission to be there: you just have to behave like a guest and you will be accepted. Some of my favorite wildlife projects feature everyday beings that are taken for granted. Here are my tips for photographing wildlife. Start at home If your goal is to become a professional photographer, photograph a rare animal, or simply improve your technique, look closer to home first. Pigeons, squirrels, and deer are wild animals, and most of the time, a striking, unique image of a "run-of-the-mill" animal is better than a mediocre image of a rarer one. Look for a habitat that you can visit again and again: the more opportunities you have, the more likely you are to get a photo you'll be proud of. Do your homework and be patient Before you shoot, prepare yourself. First, find out what species are common in the area. It can be helpful to explore a local park or even around your block. As you explore, use apps like iNaturalist and Merlin Bird ID to identify local species and familiarize yourself with them. Animals are like us, creatures of habit: you will see that they frequent the same places at certain times of the day or under certain weather conditions. Pay attention to these habits as you explore, and take several scouting trips to see them in action. Over time, you may even notice the traces these animals leave behind, from droppings to footprints. Go the extra mile When using a phone, one surprising detail that people tend to forget is cleaning the lens. Carry wipes with you to clean the lens or use a cotton shirt. Forget digital zoom and get physically closer to your subject. Position yourself on the ground or high up to be at their height, which will create a more intimate image. You're not going to get an amazing picture if you keep your clothes clean: you may have to crawl through the mud to get the photo; You'll have time to worry about laundry. Also try experimenting with black and white, which can eliminate the distraction of colors and focus attention on the composition, action, and scene. On most modern phones, you can turn the image back to color if you change your mind. https://www.nationalgeographic.es/fotografia/2023/12/como-hacer-fotos-animales-salvajes-profesional

The Spanish women's soccer team continues to break barriers in 2023. The most outstanding year in its history will close with nothing less than first place in the FIFA ranking, as announced this Friday. Becoming the best in the world is an achievement within the reach of very few, but the national team has managed to get into a select group, of which only three teams were part before Spain burst into the foreground. From today, ours sneak into a conversation limited, until now, to the United States, Germany and Sweden. They are the only women's teams that have led the world ranking since it was created, with Spain being the fourth of all time to hold that status. The Swedes were first previously, but have fallen to fifth place with the new update. The world champions have achieved 2066.05 points, unsurpassed by the United States, with 2045.12, and France, which has remained at 2021.69. Beyond the podium, England, Sweden, Germany, Netherlands, Japan, North Korea and Canada complete the top ten positions. It will be at the top of the table, at least, until March 15, 2024. There is another milestone for Spain as a result of what happened: only Germany had ruled in both the men's and women's FIFA rankings before. A reality that has changed the great season of the girls, who dream of qualifying for the Olympic Games for the first time thanks to the good work they have been doing in recent months. You may be interested: Alcaraz is already an example for its rivals to follow World champions and qualified for the Final Four of the Nations League Of course, this summer's World Cup title overshadows absolutely everything. In an almost perfect tournament, La Roja dominated at practically every moment to take the first star, second overall in the Spanish king sport, in Australia and New Zealand. The doubts only arose against Japan at the close of the group stage and were completely dispelled in some more than solid matches. Aitana Bonmatí, new holder of the Ballon d'Or, was the undisputed leader of the squad, whose sporting success has transcended society. Players like her, Alexia Putellas, Olga Carmona and Jenni Hermoso, among others, are more po[CENSORED]r than ever among ordinary people. Something that is undoubtedly due to having lifted the planetary trophy. Despite the fact that the Rubiales case somewhat clouded the feat and that Montse Tomé's first steps as a coach could not have been more complicated, the team has continued to be close to being outstanding on the field of play. Hence, the Final Four of the Nations League has been reached without complications, in which they will try to reach Paris 2024. The Netherlands will be the rival in the semifinal of the European competition, which will be held on February 23. There is a good chance that reaching the final will mean earning an Olympic ticket, so this is a momentous clash. On the other hand, winning third and fourth place would entail a prize in the event that France, already in the Games as hosts, is a finalist. https://www.infobae.com/espana/2023/12/15/espana-hace-historia-en-el-ranking-fifa-femenino-el-logro-que-solo-estados-unidos-alemania-y-suecia-habian-alcanzado-antes/
