We already have them here, the Meteor Lake are a reality, and to whet our appetites, Intel itself wanted to show us comparative tests regarding the competition, in this case pitting one of its models against another from AMD Phoenix, to show what they are. able. Although to me personally it seems like it has a bit of a trick, but let's see everything and draw a conclusion together, and see what you think. We already have them here and soon we will be able to try it for ourselves. Meteor Lake better than AMD Phoenix? Specifically, the competing models would have been the Core Ultra 7 165H and the AMD Ryzen 7 7840U. Both supposedly of similar category, so it would show which one is superior in terms of technology and performance. To do this, 33 games were compared, all at 1080p and medium quality, and the result, according to Intel, is 23 to 9, with one where they tied. We can even see 70% better performance in one of them. However, I'm going to leave you the image, and now we'll give you our opinion. As we can see, it is true that in the games chosen by Intel, in the majority, its integrated graphics (Intel Xe-LPG) surpass those of AMD (Radeon 780M), however, these, as we say, would have been selected by the own company, so ours would not have to be entirely real. What's more, if we go to the games where he really loses, we see titles like GTA V, PUGB or CS:GO 2, among others, that is, we are not talking about a small thing, and honestly. With the expectation that there is for the future GTA VI, losing in the previous one does not give you a very good reputation. In summary, it is true that we see an improved processor, very competitive, and that will stand up to AMD in many aspects, and possibly winning it in general, however, this table does not tell us much, simply that there will be games where it performs better and others where not, so, despite generally outperforming its competition, we are not talking about anything out of this world. On the other hand, they claim that they have also made great progress in energy management, so we will really see how this is noticeable in the batteries of the equipment that runs it, and if this is really the case. Intel claims that the 165H is an average of 11% faster than the 7840U, and 9% faster than the i7-1370P, so nothing, we will have to pay attention to real tests carried out by unofficial users, and see if it is really true, although, whatever the case, it is true that we see an improvement, and, to a greater or lesser extent, it is good news, let's see how they behave. And you, what do you think of Intel's new processors and integrated graphics? Will they be up to par or will we have to wait another generation to really see something powerful? I think it's going to be half and half, we're going to like it, but they're going to fall a little short before the next models, which we hope won't take years. https://hardzone.es/noticias/procesadores/intel-procesadores-meteor-lake-superan-amd-phoenix/

There is a famous phrase that is heard everywhere, which is that everything in life is a matter of "renewing or dying." And in some way it is true, although there are cases in which it is very scary to see how a game like Prince of Persia has to start copying other successes, renouncing in some way the very spirit that saw its birth, in this case , almost 35 years ago. The fact is that Prince of Persia is one of those mythical sagas, which premiered on PC in 1989 and set the standards for many games of the time: a very careful platform, with practically photorealistic character animations and a intricate map that we had to overcome being very careful not to fall into traps or die after being attacked by an opponent's sword. The lost crown of Prince of Persia It must be recognized that Prince of Persia already moved away from the original essence a few years ago when Ubisoft also put the famous Sands of Time trilogy on sale, adapting the saga to the fashions of the time: 3D adventures that grew like mushrooms because of such famous hits as the Tomb Raider saga. Now, that genre that rules in many developments has a name, to which this The Lost Crown has stuck like a limpet: the metroidvania. And we come to Prince of Persia The Lost Crown, a new reboot of the saga but adapting its development to those releases in which we play within a huge map that has many inaccessible parts... Until we get the object that allows us to advance through them. This is how clear it is after seeing the video published by the French in the last few hours, which is a good example of everything it will have when it hits stores on January 15, 2024. As you can see, this title somehow recovers that original spirit of Prince of Persia, with that 2D platform map (some would say 2.5D) from which they have taken away all the care that we should have to move through it, measuring each step on the edge of cliffs. Now in The Lost Crown everything is more dynamic, faster, frenetic and electric, and it is clearly perceived in each frame published by Ubisoft. A joy to see Prince of Persia like this To the subscriber, who has played with practically all the Prince of Persia that have come out, on computers above all but also on consoles, it is a joy to see that unlike other sagas where the studios do not find the key to its evolutions, here They do have a clear path to follow and they do it in a masterful way. It already happened, not only with the first games of the late 80s and early 90s, but also with Prince of Persia 3D and the subsequent Sands of Time trilogy. Now, The Lost Crown promises to once again shine the light on this wonderful franchise, originally owned by a certain Broderbound. What times! https://hardzone.es/noticias/juegos/prince-of-persia-the-lost-crown-referencia-historia-videojuegos/

The Ministry of Housing and Urban Planning led by Carlos Montes (PS) issued a statement this Thursday night, in response to the leak of the statement of the former undersecretary of the portfolio, Tatiana Rojas, who assured that the Secretary of State—over whom he weighs a threat of constitutional accusation by the opposition as a result of the Covenants case—he learned about irregularities before the foundations controversy was published in the press. “There is no report from the former undersecretary that warned of irregularities, conflicts of interest or crimes, as the Minister of Housing and Urban Planning pointed out today from the region of La Araucanía,” they stated from Minvu. What does exist, declared the ministry, is a one-page minute that describes a “normal” situation in Antofagasta, the region where the events involving the Democracia Viva foundation occurred. “The content of said minutes refutes the rumors, speculations or whimsical and malicious interpretations and confirms what has always been pointed out, that Minister Carlos Montes was not aware of potential situations of irregularities, conflicts of interest or crimes in relation to the agreements signed. with Living Democracy in the Antofagasta region,” concludes the statement from the Housing portfolio. The Minvu minutes The document shared by the ministry led by Carlos Montes maintains that, in the Antofagasta region, the Housing Seremi has carried out three key actions since its assumption in 2022. And it details: first, an internal audit of the Precarious Settlements Program was requested, whose results are being studied to implement improvements. Second, work was done on the diversification of foundations involved in agreements, going from 3 to 10 foundations, with 9 in force and executing 74 agreements, only 3 with Living Democracy. Third, a local procedure was drafted for greater transparency in the process. The Minvu minutes add that the audit report issued in April 2023 is being reviewed by regional authorities to implement necessary measures and notify the Precarious Settlements Program. Regarding the diversification of foundations, several were called, validated by units of the Regional Service. In addition, they highlight that the seremi established a “protocol” to sign agreements with non-profit institutions, with stricter criteria, in line with the Procedure for Management of Transfers and Surrenders of the SERVIU Camps Program, issued in October 2019. Minvu emphasizes that the Precarious Settlements Program does not intervene in the selection of regional foundations, it only approves the resolution formalizing the agreement, ensuring the budget and legal form. The call and selection process, they emphasize, are a regional responsibility. https://www.elmostrador.cl/noticias/pais/2023/12/14/minvu-contradice-a-exsubsecretaria-rojas-no-existe-informe-que-alertara-de-irregularidades/

Temple City, California, is an unassuming city east of Pasadena that is home to the usual busy thoroughfares, shopping centers, and residential neighborhoods one expects in densely developed Los Angeles County. In addition to people and their pets, Temple City is home to a surprising avian po[CENSORED]tion. At dusk, hundreds of wild parrots, some in large flocks, others alone or in pairs, approach from all directions, squawking loudly and flying in circles before settling on various roosts. These brightly colored birds create a spectacle by perching on trees, power lines and cell phone towers, but what makes them so distinctive is the racket they make. In the fading light of a recent November afternoon, I watched as an especially large flock of green parrots perched on a nearby tree and, camouflaged, disappeared among the branches. Out of sight, the overwhelming cacophony of birds seemed to come from everywhere and nowhere at once. The commotion made us understand why in English a meeting of parrots is called a pandemonium: a place where there is a lot of noise and confusion, according to the Spanish Academy of Language. The squawks sounded chaotic and random, and suddenly the birds fell silent, as if a switch had been flipped. "Look," said Luke Tiller, my parrot guide and president of the Pasadena Audubon Association, as he pointed to a spot in the sky, "a hawk." Tiller explained that flocking behavior offers protection to parrots. Each parrot alerts the flock to danger through vocalizations, and many birds means many watchful eyes. Additionally, the size of the flock deters predators such as hawks and hawks from attacking the parrots. As soon as the hawk left, the parrots resumed their shrill cries. Witnessing the return of the parrots to their evening nest was a surprising and captivating experience, seemingly at odds with the dense urban environment. He also posed a question: How did these parrots, and others like them in Los Angeles, come to live so far from their native habitats in a completely different environment? Vibrant wings in the City of Angels Like most good Hollywood stories, the origin of Los Angeles' burgeoning wild parrot po[CENSORED]tion is debated and shrouded in myth. Some attribute this to the closure of Busch Gardens Van Nuys in the 1970s, which may have led to the release of captive birds into the city environment. There are also unconfirmed stories of mass releases of parrots during the 1992 riots, as well as accounts of parrots released during a fire at a Pasadena pet store in the 1990s. "I think there's some truth to most of those stories," says Jamie Gilardi, executive director of the World Parrot Trust. "I don't think anyone did it intentionally. Parrots are valuable, so they're probably accidental releases." https://www.nationalgeographic.es/animales

Doubly, Maxus decided to quickly expand its portfolio of SUVs, with the help of the D60 (you can read more in this note) and the enormous D90, which is the largest and most capable model that the brand represented by Andes Motor offers in the country. The D90, despite having three rows of seats, comes to fight in the segment of "true" all-terrain SUVs, based on a ladder chassis. Among these we can find exponents such as Toyota Fortuner, Chevrolet Trailblazer (discontinued), Mitsubishi Montero Sport (discontinued) and at the top, the Ssangyong Rexton. The Maxus D90 was officially released in 2016 in China and was also sold under the MG Gloster name in other markets. Just as the T60 truck has evolved over time, the D90 has done its thing, therefore it does not look much like the original model since its features are much higher; We could say that it is like the "SUV" version of the T90 truck. Maxus D90: dimensions and design Length: 5,046 mm Width: 2,046 mm Height: 1,876 mm Between axles: 2,950 mm Trunk: 343 liters to the roof (three rows deployed) 1,350 liters to the roof (third row folded) Clearance: 210 mm The D90, although it uses the base of the T90, is taller, narrower and shorter than the truck, but it is still a spacious model. Its design takes a lot from the T90 and we wouldn't blame you if you confuse them from the front, but they are different, especially because it has a grille with a different design, a higher hood, slightly thinner headlights (with LED technology as standard) and a very bulky. From the side, with the black handles and wheel arches, it looks like a new "Land Cruiser Prado", with a very square silhouette. At the back, it reveals elongated lights joined across the width of the tailgate and a bumper with square exhaust outlets. If we add the black roof, the spoiler, the sills, the black details and the two-tone wheels, it gives a very aggressive look that quickly sets it apart from the rest of its rivals. To identify the different versions, the base model (Elite) has a manual opening trunk, 18" wheels, automatic Full LED lighting, spoiler and electric mirrors with defroster as standard. The next two versions (Luxury, Flagship) have 20" wheels. ", electric gate and electric roof (sunroof in Luxury, panoramic in Flagship). In addition, the Flagship model comes standard with a tow hook with a 13-pin electrical connector. Maxus D90: interior and equipment The interior of the D90 does not resort to luxury like Rexton or the modernity of the Maxus T90 itself, but rather it looks more functional and off-road, with some very interesting details such as the larger air vents, the handle on the glove compartment and the two modules with knobs to select traction and driving modes. It also has two trays to store phones and some interesting storage compartments. The Elite model equipment includes: Dual zone air conditioning (actually first and second row) with own commands for second row and rear air vents Eco-leather tapestry Manually adjustable seats Electric windows Multifunction leather steering wheel https://noticias.autocosmos.cl/2023/11/28/maxus-d90-2024-en-chile-un-verdadero-suv-off-road-familiar

On August 8, 2021, Lionel Messi made his final departure from Barcelona official in a tearful speech. The club's all-time top scorer had to emigrate due to the new leadership's refusal to renew his contract. Paris Saint-Germain was his new home, but that departure was very close to happening a year earlier, when the star was one step away from arriving at Pep Guardiola's Manchester City. The 14 titles won by the duo at Blaugrana left a relationship full of success between them. After their paths separated, they reunited on August 18, 2020. That day, Messi and Guardiola saw each other in the coach's apartment in Bonanova, a residential area of Barcelona, according to the book God save Pep, written by Martí Perarnau, which offers details about the intimacy of the dialogue that occurred on a sofa at home four days after the historic 8-2 elimination against Bayern Munich in the Champions League. Pep's biographer, who has already written two other books about the coach such as 'Herr Pep' and 'Pep Guardiola, The Metamorphosis', specified that the conclave began at noon and lasted for more than six hours, ending at 18:30 in the afternoon, according to the Spanish newspaper Mundo Deportivo. And the newspaper added: “They were excited to work together again at City that same summer.” The fall of the English team against Olympique Lyon in the quarterfinals of the Champions League had left the coach discouraged and, on the other hand, Messi faced the “deceptions” of the president of Barcelona at that time, Josep María Bartomeu, of his coach, Quique Setién, and the latter's field assistant, Eder Sarabia. The “patches and juggling” of the resounding fall in Lisbon against the Bavarians strained the bond of the 10 with the leadership until the last moments and the book deepens the intersection of opinions maintained by the captain of the Argentine team with the driver who marked his career . - Guardiola: ”In Manchester we train very hard...”. - Messi: ”I will train hard, I'm not worried.” -Guardiola: ”And he continued making long tactical talks. Maybe you'll get bored..." - Messi: ”I'll hold on. I will put up with everything you do.” - Guardiola: ”Leo, we have grown older. Maybe we can't stand each other anymore." Previously, Perarnau said in an interview for the Catalan newspaper Sport that the eight-time Ballon d'Or winner was the main interlocutor in that talk: “It's like that, it may surprise because Messi spoke very little before but we have all seen how Messi has evolved and The speech he gave at the Ballon d'Or gala reaffirms this. He is not the same Messi as he was when he started playing. It was he who wanted to meet with Guardiola to find out if he could play for Manchester City. City did not move for Messi. What City told Messi is that if he left Barça they would study the possible incorporation of him. But he didn't give it.” Later, the writer avoided the question about whether the champion of the last Champions League would have gone all out for the Argentine, if he had signed his definitive separation from Barcelona: “We cannot know what would have happened but it is reasonable to think that without the link with Barça, Guardiola would not have said no to Messi. He is still the best in the world and we are talking about three years ago. But since Messi did not separate from Barça, there was no more story, this point was never reached.” https://www.infobae.com/deportes/2023/12/14/revelaron-la-intimidad-del-conclave-entre-messi-y-guardiola-para-fichar-en-manchester-city-en-2020-la-duracion-extra-large-y-los-enganos-del-barcelona/

Juan Dionisio Opazo Vera, a former conscript, was finally arrested early this Thursday by a team from the Carabineros OS9, after being a fugitive from justice since June of last year. Opazo, convicted for his role as the perpetrator in the 38 homicides of Paine peasants that occurred between September and October 1973, now faces admission to the Colina I Penitentiary Compliance Center by an order issued by Minister Marianela Cifuentes, of the Court of St. Michael's Appeals. The minister on an extraordinary visit for cases of human rights violations ordered the immediate admission of Opazo, who must serve a 10-year prison sentence for these crimes against humanity. Opazo's arrest represents significant progress in Paine's case, according to lawyer Nelson Caucoto, plaintiff in this case, who highlighted the work of the police forces and expressed his hope that other convicted and fugitive former agents will also be captured. “It is wonderful news that we receive from Minister Marianela Cifuentes in the Paine case because the fact that she has apprehended one of the escapees means that the police are fulfilling their task, so we hope that they will also be able to find the whereabouts.” of the other former agents who were convicted and who are still fugitives,” said the lawyer. Opazo Vera was part of the list of 14 former agents of the dictatorship convicted of crimes against humanity who were fugitives from justice. Along with the ex-conscript, Manfredo Enrique Jurgensen Caesar (doctor, CNI) has already been captured, sentenced as co-author of the qualified homicide of Federico Álvarez Santibáñez and who died last June after his capture; Olegario Enrique González Moreno (Army, DINA), convicted as co-author of 9 qualified kidnappings (forced disappearances); and Héctor Fernando Osses Yáñez (Carabineros officer, retired military union leader), convicted as the perpetrator in at least six cases of murders in the San Gregorio 9 neighborhood. While another 13 former agents and retired soldiers remain fugitives: Jorge Octavio Vargas Bories, Army officer, CNI Rubén Aroldo Morales López, Carabineros officer Luis Enrique Barrueto Bartning, businessman Federico Humberto Chaigneau Sepúlveda, Army officer, DINA José Miguel Meza Serrano, Navy, DINA Eduardo Alejandro Oyarce Riquelme, Army non-commissioned officer, DINA Víctor Álvarez Droguett, Army, DINA https://www.elmostrador.cl/noticias/pais/2023/12/14/exconcripto-capturado-y-enviado-a-prision-por-homicidio-de-38-campesinos-de-paine-en-1973/

December has become the month of recaps. From these reviews to all the activity we have carried out on social networks, streaming platforms, music apps and, of course, Google searches, where it is clear that what gamers try to find does not always coincide with what the users later say. awards. And something similar has happened with the best game of the year. And that "something similar" is nothing other than that Baldur's Gate 3 is not the most searched thing on Google in all of 2023 within the video game category, so it is far from the top positions, which are occupied by some names that will be familiar to you and which have been real successes in sales and income. Even number one, which we can consider as one of the big absentees at the Game Awards held last week. The most anticipated return to Hogwarts Indeed, the most searched for when it comes to gaming within Google has been Hogwarts Legacy, the Avalanche title that arrived at the beginning of the year and that has devastated sales to such an extent that a second part is already underway. The universe created by J.K. Rowling takes the lead and leaves everyone else far enough away to believe that this award is already more important than the one obtained by the RPG from Larian Studios in Los Angeles a few days ago. If you were one of those who did a search on Hogwarts Legacy, tell us if you also did any of the following. Like number two, which goes to The Last of Us, although in this case we are very afraid that it is not 100% due to the video game. Remember that 2023 is the year in which the live-action series inspired by the Naughty Dog game arrived on HBO, so most likely those Google searches have much more to do with that fact than with news that has left us unaware. PS5. The third in contention is Connections, the famous game published by The New Work Times and that has had millions of people hooked while trying to create connections with words every day. The top 10 searches on Google So, removing that top 3, there are many names left, although some are more representative of the Asian market, which as you know has its own life and its own search engines whose results are not reflected in Google. Even so, in fourth position we have PUBG for mobile phones in India, Starfield, which was one of the ones that raised the most dust from June and now, in sixth position, we have the best game of the year: Baldur's Gate 3. For the finale there is a Japanese game and three hits that still resonate in our gamer hearts today: Diablo IV, Atomic Heart and Sins of the Forest, which sneaks into the last position of this chart in a surprising way. Especially if we take into account that a new Zelda installment has been released. Below we leave you the top 0 in sight.

We all know Amazon's assistant, the Echo, whom we call by the name Alexa. They have multiple functions, each person uses them differently, but whatever this may be, today I bring you an offer that you cannot miss. A perfect gift for someone who doesn't already own one, or simply as extra equipment for another part of your home. Since today, the Echo Pop, the new Alexa model, is more than 60% off, practically given away. Let's see it. Alexa Echo Pop for 20 euros Yes, and today, for only 20.99 euros, we can get the latest model that Amazon has presented to us, the Echo Pop, which, except for the screen, has the same functions as the rest of the Alexa devices. Among these features we have the option to ask her anything and talk to her, from the time to the weather, or the age of any famous person, as well as asking her to play something with us, to entertain us. It is also a music player, which can offer us our favorite songs or simply the live station we want. Its speaker is quite powerful and we should have no problems hearing it perfectly. Also, thanks to its built-in microphones, we can make calls between Echo devices for free over the internet connection. And the best of all is its price, well, a simple speaker of this quality would be worth more, not counting the rest of the functions it offers us. Generally we usually see it at 54.99 euros, however, today, we have it at historic lows and for a limited time, at 20.99 euros. A bargain both for us and as a gift. Furthermore, if you are a fan of home automation and making your home something futuristic, thanks to Alexa we can turn on lights, turn off sockets, change the degrees of the air conditioning and all the things you can think of, we only need one smart product, most of them are compatible with the Echo Pop. And they are very cheap, from 5 euros for a plug that will allow us to turn on a fan without leaving the sofa, to a light bulb for the same price that will turn on that light in the hallway so that we can go to the bathroom at night without bother anyone. We currently have it in 4 colors, all of them on sale, to which we can add a smart plug or light bulb as I mentioned for only 5 euros in the same pack, obviously compatible with the device. So nothing, if we don't have an Alexa in your home, it's time to do it, you will never find them cheaper, especially because of their quality, since, as we said, even the speaker is already worth more than that. And you, how many do you have in your house? Are you happy with them? Do you see them as a good gift for a friend or family member? The truth is that I use it a lot, even as an emergency alarm or reminder it's great. Of course, you need internet for it to work, and for the power to not go out, since it is always connected. https://hardzone.es/ofertas/amazon/alexa-echo-pop-1223/

The Social Convergence deputy, Gael Yeomans, referred to the indications that the Government entered and that seek to partially alleviate the crisis of the isapres, especially after the ruling of the Supreme Court that annuls the increases in the GES premium. Among these measures was advancing the increase in the Health Cost Indicator. Let us remember that this initiative did not find a good reception among pro-government parliamentarians, who asked to separate waters and process this measure separately for insurers. In conversation with Al Pan Pan with Mirna Schindler, the parliamentarian said that these measures are not considered a “rescue” by the Executive, since she considers other things, such as mutualization, as “rescue”. “Rescue were other measures. I don't consider this one that way. Besides, we still have their procedure, we still have a conversation ahead of us,” she said. “I do see a problem in generating aid, if we want to put it in those terms, aid to cover his expenses by advancing a readjustment that was going to happen anyway, that is the issue. That's why I don't consider it that way, I don't consider it to the same degree as mutualization. That does seem to me like it was a rescue,” she added. “Obviously, we view these types of discussions with distrust when all the aspects and elements regarding a health reform are not comprehensively agreed upon, because that is what we are talking about. When we are going to generate this incentive, let's put it in those terms, in order to resolve the economic problem of institutions that have failed to comply with a ruling, I want to know what the reaction of these institutions is going to be and what the reaction of the opposition parliamentarians is going to be. moment, for example, of having to strengthen Fonasa, which seems to us to be a priority, understanding the number of affiliates that there are not only now, but even, as a result of this same debate, of how the system is being viewed of health in the future, may also lead to, because until now, that political sector, at least in Congress, has not been willing to generate sufficient resources to make this viable," he added. “Secondly, also, when we discussed the budget law, the necessary emphasis was not placed on strengthening this institution, but rather on other discussions, that is, on how the debt to the private sector is paid, which Okay, that is part of the obligations that perhaps the State should have, and the Isapres too, by the way, because they have debts with the private clinics, but where are the emphasis, where is the willingness to build agreements?. https://www.elmostrador.cl/noticias/pais/2023/12/13/diputada-yeomans-y-mutualizacion-en-ley-de-isapres-me-parece-que-es-un-salvataje/

Although much attention is usually paid to purebred and designer dogs, more than half of the dogs living in the United States are mixed breeds, while in Spain, a 2021 study claimed that more than 30% of the dogs in our households were mestizos (also known as chuchos or mil leches). The importance of this type of dog in the United States is such that they have been given their own day: December 2, National Mutt Day. No two are alike, which makes them unique companions. In addition to being adorable, mutts (especially those of many different breeds) are often healthier than purebreds, thanks to the diversity of their genes, which reduces the risk of hereditary diseases. Mixed-breed puppies largely come from mating unneutered dogs, and many end up abandoned and in need of a new home. In the U.S., of the nearly 3.3 million dogs that enter animal shelters each year, many are mutts. In Spain, where shelters collect about 200,000 dogs annually, in 2022 71% of adopted dogs were classified as mixed breeds. All types of puppies and adult dogs are available for adoption through animal shelters and rescue groups. Adoption not only helps save lives, but is also less expensive than buying a purebred puppy or a designer breed, a new trend halfway between the purebred and the common mil leches. How designer breeds emerged Purebred dogs have been treasured for hundreds of years, and people are deeply devoted to their favorite breeds. But in the 90s a new trend emerged: designer dogs. It all started when Australian breeder Wally Conron was asked to provide a guide dog for a blind woman living in Hawaii. The woman's husband was allergic to dogs. At the time, Conron worked for the Royal Guide Dogs Association of Australia (now Guide Dogs Victoria). After several failed attempts to train giant poodles as guide dogs, Conron decided to cross a giant poodle with a Labrador retriever. Three puppies from the litter ended up being good candidates for guide dogs, but the allergic husband could only tolerate one. That dog, named Sultan, was trained and sent to Hawaii. But the organization had trouble pairing the other two dogs with blind handlers; People wanted purebred Labradors, not mixed breeds. Conron asked the group's public relations department to inform the media that they had created a new "non-allergenic" guide dog called a labradoodle, a combination of the English names Labrador and poodle. The trick worked and suddenly people were clamoring for this new breed of guide dog. When the general public heard about Labradoodles, people began to demand them as pets. Other breeders began crossing Labradors and poodles, golden retrievers and poodles and, over the years, many other breeds with poodles, inventing cute names and fueling the doodle trend, dogs crossed from a poodle with a partner of another breed. . Variants of poodles in abundance Today, the poodle has been crossed with almost every breed imaginable, although the Labrador and golden doodle are the most po[CENSORED]r. Other designer breeds - such as the puggle (a pug crossed with a beagle) and the goldador (a golden retriever crossed with a Labrador retriever) - do away with the poodle and combine other breeds. https://www.nationalgeographic.es/animales/2023/12/diferencias-perro-raza-diseno-mestizo-sin-raza

While showing its new medium-sized pick-up in Algeria, FIAT sent a statement talking about the Titano, where it explains the abstract attributes of the product, but also shows for the first time an official full-length image of its new truck that it will market in Africa and Latin America, and which we have been hearing about since the beginning of 2023. With it, Stellantis will try to compete with its most important brand, in the populous segment of medium-sized one-ton pickups, where models such as the Toyota Hilux, Ford Ranger, Nissan Navara and Volkswagen Amarok reign, to name the best-selling ones in South America. What is the FIAT Titano? If you are not a fan of Autocosmos, here we give you a summary of the history behind the new truck with the FIAT shield, whose origins date back to Peugeot and Changan. At the beginning of 2020, the new Landtrek was officially unveiled, a joint development between Changan and Peugeot. In China it is marketed under the name Kaicene F70. For export it will use the logos of Changan (as in Chile) and Peugeot, with a differentiated configuration. The plan included launching it progressively in Latin America, with a second move to Mercosur, with regional production at the Nordex plant in Uruguay. The second stage of the launch was extended, and in the middle of that Stellantis was born, which merged PSA (Peugeot, Citroën, DS, Opel, etc.) with FSA (FIAT, Chrysler, Jeep, RAM...) Time continued to advance, the inter-group jump and in 2023 we began to talk about the FIAT Titano, which has been taking a slow striptease, showing parts until now that the first full-length image appeared. What do we know about the FIAT Titano? We know a lot and a little at the same time. Initially everything that applies to Landtrek passes to Titano, even the aesthetics, which are almost the same except for identity elements, such as the grille without side frames and the huge FIAT in the middle. They are so similar that the feline LED fangs remain. Independent chassis and load capacity of one ton must be maintained, however, we already knew that the Landtrek was not exported with its original engines to our part of the planet, namely: a 2.0 gas station with 210 HP and a 1.9 TD with 150 horses. The good news is that from 2023, the Landtrek will be marketed with an authentic Peugeot turbodiesel, a 2.2 BlueHDI from the DW family (DW12) with 180 HP and between 370 and 400 Nm of torque, depending on whether you choose the 6MT box or the 6AT. The engine is manufactured in France and exported to Uruguay. Everything indicated that the FIAT pick-up could use this engine, although its Euro 6 requirement complicates its sale in other markets beyond Chile. And when would the new FIAT Titano arrive in South America? Like its lion twin, FIAT's new medium pick-up would have to be produced in Uruguay, at least in the first stage, and should be formally presented in 2024. https://noticias.autocosmos.cl/2023/12/13/fiat-titano-se-devela-la-nueva-pick-up-mediana-basada-en-la-landtrek

In a tense and disputed match between the Golden State Warriors and the Phoenix Suns, veteran Draymond Green was involved in a controversy that culminated in his expulsion, after slapping Jusuf Nurkic in the face. The incident occurred with 8:23 minutes left in the third quarter, at which time the fight for position under the basket intensified. Green, who was trying to position himself in front of Nurkic in the paint, reacted with a slap that sent the Suns center to the ground. This act did not go unnoticed by the referees who, after reviewing the play, classified the action as flagrant type 2, a foul that entails the direct expulsion of the player. As a result, Green took the walk to the locker room, leaving his team one man down for a crucial part of the game. The situation became even more delicate when, at the end of the game that ended with a victory for the Suns (119-116), Green appeared before the media to apologize publicly to Nurkic. The Warriors player seemed remorseful and clarified that his intention was not to cause harm. “He was grabbing my hip and I was moving to try to get the officials to see a foul and making contact with him,” Green explained. “I apologize to Jusuf because he had no intention of hitting him.” Green repeatedly reiterated his regret, acknowledging the level of impact of his action. In a gesture of unusual candor, he classified the incident as unfortunate and stressed the accidental nature of the contact. On the other hand, Jusuf Nurkic gave his perspective on the events in a statement after the game, emphasizing in an ironic tone his concern for Green's mental health. “I'm glad he didn't try to drown me,” Nurkic said, alluding to another earlier Green incident. The Suns center expressed his desire to focus on the game rather than physical confrontations, suggesting Green might need help managing his on-court behavior. This event marks Green's third ejection of the current season and adds another chapter to his history of controversial encounters. Previously, in November, Green had an altercation with Rudy Gobert of the Minnesota Timberwolves, which also led to him being removed from the game and facing a five-game suspension imposed by the NBA. The league has indicated that his history of unsportsmanlike behavior has been a key factor in determining the sanctions he faces. In April, the 34-year-old power forward stepped on the chest of his opponent during a game against the Sacramento Kings. With seven minutes left in a vibrant game, Domanta Sabonis was on the ground after falling in the fight for a rebound, from there he grabbed the foot of a Green who wanted to go on the counterattack and the Warriors center did not hesitate to attack him. “The explanation (they gave me) was that I stepped on him too hard,” he said at a press conference after that meeting. While Stephen Curry and Klay Thompson depend on Green's presence on the court for his defensive input and competitive intensity, incidents like this underscore the challenges the Warriors face in maintaining composure and sports discipline. For this duel, Curry scored 24 points and was the leading scorer for the Warriors (10-13) in the emergency room with a terrible record of 4-11 in their last 15 games. https://www.infobae.com/deportes/2023/12/13/draymond-green-volvio-a-golpear-a-un-rival-y-recibio-su-tercera-expulsion-del-ano-en-la-nba-creo-que-necesita-ayuda/

The legal plot of Factop, a factoring company owned by the brothers Ariel and Daniel Sauer, and Rodrigo Topelberg, once again has a relevant milestone. The Barber Group SpA, owned by businessman Pablo Labbé, who operates barbershops, filed a criminal complaint before the 4th Guarantee Court of Santiago against all those who are responsible for the commission of the crimes of falsification of a private commercial instrument, use malicious use of false private commercial instrument and fraud. These are 42 false invoices issued between February 9, 2022 and May 3, 2023 by three companies and totaling $235,001,738: Inversiones DAS Limitada (7), Comercial Textil Ziko Limitada (26) and Asesorías e Inversiones ART SpA (9). “All the previously individualized invoices are ideologically false, since there has been no source of obligation between the issuing companies and my client that has generated any obligation of the latter towards the former, of any kind,” stated the criminal action. This complaint is the first legal attack that a company has undertaken for the false invoices issued by said companies, and it occurs a month after the audio was released in which the lawyers Luis Hermosilla and Leonarda Villalobos appear, together with Daniel Sauer, planning the eventual payment of bribes to officials of the Internal Revenue Service and the Financial Market Commission. “As we have been able to find out and as the investigation should clarify, the purpose kept in view by all the participants in this fraud machinery, to incur in the issuance of false invoices for non-existent obligations, has been to generate executive titles transferable to light. of the provisions of Law Number 19,993, which regulates the transfer and grants executive merit to a copy of the invoice,” the letter added. The incorporation of the company Asesorías e Inversiones ART SpA took place on September 4, 2020, before the Santiago notary office of Pedro Ricardo Reveco Hormazábal. An extract of said deed was registered on page 732, number 462, of the Commerce Registry for the year 2020, of the Registrar of Real Estate of Iquique. Its only partner is the company Inversiones Fanty SpA, whose only partner and legal representative is the defendant Bárbara Sabina Lichtman. For its part, the company Inversiones DAS Limitada was incorporated on July 9, 2007 before the Santiago notary office of Samuel Klecky Rapaport. “After various modifications, since May 13, 2021 - before the beginning of the series of crimes that are the subject of this complaint - its partners are the defendants Daniel Amir Sauer Adlerstein, with 37.5%, Ariel Isaac Sauer Adlerstein , with 37.5%, and Rodrigo Topelberg Kleinkopf, with 25%. The administration of the company corresponds to any of the defendants,” the text states. https://www.latercera.com/pulso-pm/noticia/empresa-de-barberias-presenta-querella-por-42-facturas-falsas-y-apunta-a-los-sauer-y-a-topelberg/BKYVESVQWRDDVBIULKEMN6UWFY/

MSI is one of the best-selling hardware manufacturers, especially because they tend to release aesthetically striking products at relatively low prices. But statistically, MSI is one of the manufacturers that generates the most warranty procedures, largely due to the low quality of its products, and now it has been known that at least one batch of its MSI MEG Coreliquid E Series liquid cooling has a defective pump. and it is causing problems for users. The problem has been such that MSI has been forced to act (and we have to say, personally, that MSI is a manufacturer that tends to dodge the problem when its products cause problems, at least in Spain) and is offering customers users who have located the problems the choice of either getting a replacement of the product or even a refund of their money. The problem with MSI MEG Coreliquid E liquid cooling The affected products are specifically the MSI MAG Coreliquid E240 with a 240 mm radiator and its older brother, the MSI MAG Coreliquid E360 with a 360 mm radiator, including the black and white variants. It must be said that this line of products came on the market at the beginning of this year, and it seems that it has not been until now that many users are encountering problems. It has been MSI Japan who has alerted us to the problem, which apparently concerns a defective batch of this liquid cooling. They have not given too many details, but in the press release they have sent they state that "when some pumps operate in a range between 1,600 and 1,800 RPM, the internal rotor rubs against the cavity", and this causes not only an unpleasant noise, But since there are two pieces rubbing together, wear occurs that could lead to catastrophic failure of the pump. What is a little strange is that it was MSI Japan that made the press release and not MSI in general, since this liquid cooling is sold all over the world and not just on the Asian island. This makes us think that perhaps the defective batches have only been sold in Japan, since no other MSI branch has issued this press release, but the truth is that it would be quite strange if they had the problem so highly focused, right? The fact is that if you have an MSI MAG Coreliquid E Series liquid cooling and you start to notice that the pump is making strange noises, we urge you to immediately process your warranty, lest you have one of these defective batches and the problems will continue. further. By the way, this is not the first time that MSI has had to come to the fore regarding its liquid cooling systems. Already last year the company had to recall some MAG Coreliquid R Series models with problems, and as is happening with this E series, in the end they offered customers the option of exchanging the device for a new one or obtaining a refund. . The difference is that on that occasion it was MSI Global who made the announcement. https://hardzone.es/noticias/componentes/refrigeracion-liquida-msi-defectuosa/

The Legend of Zelda Tears of the Kingdom has been, for many, one of the best of 2023. Not in vain, it has been nominated as one of the best titles at the Game Awards although finally, thank goodness, the injustice of raise it to the top of the award. Now, while we are still resting on the success of this cartridge, rumors of a new delivery are heard. This information indicates that Nintendo could already be working on a new Zelda that would continue the line released by Breath of the Wild and that would involve telling us a story in line with Tears of the Kingdom. That is, a kind of third installment of the games that have arrived for Switch. Which would be, in the eyes of any Nintendo fan, something practically unprecedented if we leave aside the inaugural releases on NES or Nintendo 64. Eiji Aonuma speaks out But it has been the thinking head of the last great Zelda, Eiji Aonuma, who wanted to put a stop to those rumors that the Japanese are already developing a kind of The Legend of Zelda Tears of the Kingdom 2 and has decided to cut it short . The next game in the franchise will not be a continuation of the one that arrived at the end of May 2023, so, we imagine, it will take a new direction. Aonuma has confessed that if a third installment of this saga that began with Breath of the Wild and continued by Tears of the Kingdom were made, it would be "a sequel to a sequel, which becomes a bit beastly when you think about it." Project that even for the famous producer it seems excessive to take advantage of to develop a new title that would once again take material that we have all seen and enjoyed since 2017. So nothing of that. And one of the big criticisms that have been leveled at Nintendo regarding The Legend of Zelda Tears of the Kingdom is that we had already seen a very high percentage of the content in Breath of the Wild and the – brilliant – addition of Crafting and construction can only be understood from the need to turn that defect into a virtue and give the game an extra depth that distracts us from focusing too much on what was identical to the previous installment. Nintendo couldn't afford a Breath of the Wild 3 Even if you are one of those who are part of Team Tears of the Kingdom and consider yourself a fervent defender of this second installment, we understand that you will be happy that Nintendo does not sell you for the third time a cartridge that is still basically Breath of the Wild with some additions and extra maps in what is one of the occasions in which the Japanese have managed to anger many of their most loyal followers. Not in vain, for many, playing The Legend of Zelda Tears of the Kingdom was like revisiting Breath of the Wild and that instantly took them away from enjoying it as it surely deserved. But faced with the possibility of repeating the play, Nintendo has preferred to say enough is enough. So thank goodness... don't you think? https://hardzone.es/noticias/juegos/continuacion-zelda-tears-kingdom-switch/

The former Minister of Health Emilio Santelices sent a message to the current head of the portfolio, Ximena Aguilera, in the midst of the Isapres crisis, ensuring that she has the solution to the problem in her hands. Let us remember that in this matter, the Government entered indications into the public sector readjustment project, which seeks to partially alleviate the Isapres crisis, especially after the ruling of the Supreme Court that annuls the increases in the GES premium. The measure will allow insurers to advance the increase in plans to April instead of June, in addition to including an extraordinary readjustment to cover the costs of children under two years of age. In conversation with Al Pan Pan with Mirna Schindler, Santelices assured that “what we have proposed to the government is to move forward, understanding that the Isapres are welcomed and incorporated into social security, a pool of risk among users, ending with pre-existence, consequently ending the health declaration and installing free mobility among Isapres users.” “All of this is available today and there will be the votes to approve it and it will be tremendous news for Chileans,” he added. This particular scenario that Santelices proposes has not occurred, because the Government has not provided solutions. “We must be clear, the Isapres are responsible for the genesis, yes or yes, and we should not hesitate to point this out. But the responsibility today to provide a solution to that obviously lies with the government,” he said. “The effort that has been made in the Senate Health Commission, with specialists and people involved in public health, is to make available to the government the foundations and legal frameworks by which this can be done. The government and particularly the minister, so to speak, has the table set. She can, with just her gesture, incorporate indications, take a leap that will be historic for this country,” she assured. Santelices added that “today the government has the last word and I think that within the government there are different approaches.” “There is still an underlying subgroup that thinks this is the opportunity to end the system. On the other hand, there are others who actually understand that the system has to be profoundly renewed, it has to be profoundly transformed, just as we have thought from the committees of experts, but that destroying it in a brutal way can have consequences,” he concluded. https://www.elmostrador.cl/noticias/pais/2023/12/12/santelices-afirma-que-ministra-aguilera-tiene-la-mesa-servida-para-resolver-crisis-de-las-isapres/

When hundreds of African savannah elephants fell dead in Botswana's Okavango Delta in 2020, conservationists were alarmed. As the death toll increased – from dozens in March to more than 350 animals in July – their concern grew, especially since no one knew what was happening. Shortly after, the mystery worsened when 34 more of this endangered species died across the border in northwestern Zimbabwe in a three-week period, and one more was found in November. "It was very fast," says Chris Foggin, a veterinarian with the Victoria Falls Wildlife Trust who examined the elephant carcasses in Zimbabwe. "That was the dramatic thing." A sensitive area and many suspects African savanna elephants in the five-nation Kavango-Zambezi Transfrontier Conservation Area, or KAZA, represent the majority of what remains of the species, says Steve Osofsky, director of the Cornell Wildlife Health Center in Ithaca, United States. . There are about 350,000 African savannah elephants left, and given the already significant set of threats to their survival, "a new disease could be what tips that last domino toward extinction," says Osofsky, who was not involved in the new investigation. In September 2020, the Government of Botswana attributed the deaths of elephants in the Okavango Delta to the presence of cyanobacteria in the water the elephants drank. Although without data to support this, scientists have questioned this conclusion. Meanwhile, bodies in Zimbabwe showed no signs that they had died from the toxic algae. And so the cause of the death continued to elude experts. They ruled out poaching because the tusks were intact and no gunshot wounds were found. Poisoning was unlikely because it did not affect other animals, such as the vultures that fed on the corpses. Now, new research published recently in Nature Communications points to a different culprit, at least in the case of Zimbabwean elephants: a bacteria not previously found in elephants of any species, called Bisgaard's taxon 45, that causes a massive systemic infection. of the blood called septicemia. Bisgaard's taxon 45 is related to another bacteria, called Pasteurella multocida, which can cause septicemia in livestock and was linked to the deaths of 200,000 endangered saiga antelopes in Kazakhstan in 2015. However, while it shares many of the same lethal genes, Bisgaard's taxon 45 is a separate species. "It's a disease that we know can kill a reasonable number of elephants in a short period of time," says Foggin, co-leader of the study. And "it has the potential to kill many more under the right circumstances." https://www.nationalgeographic.es/animales/2023/12/cientos-elefantes-africanos-muertos-2020-misterio-causas-cerca-resolverse

An American icon, one of Chrysler's best-known and long-produced cars, is about to leave us. We are referring to the already veteran Chrysler 300, which will suspend production towards the end of this month. However, in anticipation of that closure, the most desired model in the range, the 300C with a Hemi engine, says goodbye to the team of mechanics at the Brampton plant in Canada. The history of the 300C The 300 was born in 1955 as a luxury and customizable coupe. In 1957, engineers placed a 392 Hemi engine in the front, which changed the character of the model. This car was known as 300C. Then, in the Daimler-Chrysler decade, the 300 came back to life under the name 300M, albeit with front-wheel drive and as a successor to the futuristic Eagle Vision. The true heir would arrive in 2005, with the name 300 "plainly" and based on the rear-wheel drive LX platform, developed in conjunction with Mercedes-Benz (it has elements and developments taken directly from the E-Class and S-Class). Being for many the real successor of the original 300, due to its rear-wheel drive and its retro-futuristic design, it was obvious that it was also going to receive a Hemi heart. The first in 50 years for a car with the Chrysler badge. That car was the new 300C, powered by a 340 HP 5.4 Hemi. Then in 2011, the power rose to 363 HP and finally, in its last year of production, it already had a 6.4-liter Hemi with 485 HP, which allowed it to accelerate from 0 to 100 km/h in less than five seconds. It is worth noting that the Chrysler 300 had two generations, although in reality it was a profound facelift. The last of his kind Since the plans to resurrect Chrysler go hand in hand with electromobility, it was logical that the 300 had to be said goodbye at some point. The final 300C wears a Velvet Red color, Brembo calipers, an LSD differential, active suspension, black accents, and a special tricolor badge. "Our workforce here at Brampton Assembly has a reputation for building high-quality cars and the Chrysler 300C was no different," said plant manager Alex Pittas. "We are proud of the work and detail we have put into the last 2,200 units that have come off our assembly line in 2023." https://noticias.autocosmos.cl/2023/12/11/el-venerable-chrysler-300c-con-motor-hemi-concluye-su-produccion

Marcelo Gallardo already knows what pressure is like directing Al Ittihad. Several of the questions from the local press, in the context of his team's debut this Wednesday against Auckland of New Zealand for the Club World Cup, emphasized the hierarchy of the squad and the poor results it has been obtaining in the Arab league. “Beyond making a diagnosis of the past, it is already there and I cannot stop at that now. I've been there for only twenty days, so I can make a diagnosis of what happened, but I can't stop at that but think ahead and try to find a way for the team to play as well as possible," said the Argentine coach. “It must also be said - Gallardo continued - that we have had, since I arrived, a very tight schedule with many injured players in the process of recovery and we have been negotiating our commitments in the best possible way. Now we are settling in, recovering players and studying the different possibilities of developing small partnerships in the team to determine a way of playing from a tactical and strategic point of view.” Gallardo was surprised at the press conference held at the King Abdullah Sports Center stadium, the main venue of the Club World Cup, when next to him, and when asked how he feels with the Argentine technical director at Al Ittihad, Benzema indicated : “I am very happy to work with him, because he did very well in a very difficult tournament like the Argentine one and he is very close to the players. I like that a lot because it is always good to be able to sit down and talk about football with your coach, but I also want to say that he was a very good player and he only played with one or two touches, something that was not easy.” These statements motivated Gallardo to laugh and a small response from the surprised Argentine. “If he saw me play it means I'm not that old,” the coach joked. Gallardo played for Monaco between 1999 and 2003, and then for Paris Saint Germain between 2007 and 2008, while Benzema was born in Lyon and played for Olympique in that city between 2004 and 2009. Gallardo returned the flowers to the Frenchman by stating that one of the motivations for coming to Al Ittihad “was to coach players like Karim, who not by chance managed to remain in the elite for so many years, beyond discovering a different league and "Try to complement high-quality players." Both Gallardo and Benzema agreed to highlight the importance of psychology in football when they were asked about the chances of winning the Club World Cup by the local press. “I have hierarchy on the campus, but we have to work on a collective idea. The important thing is that I have players with a winning mentality and that shortens the path,” said the Argentine. "I understand the fans' enthusiasm, which is mine too, but I think that first we have to think about tomorrow's game, our debut, against Auckland," said Benzema, who added that "today's football is played in the field, eleven against eleven, and not on paper and whoever has more ambition, more strength and more hunger ends up winning.” https://www.infobae.com/deportes/2023/12/12/el-impresionante-elogio-de-benzema-que-sorprendio-a-gallardo-y-la-respuesta-del-muneco-en-la-previa-del-mundial-de-clubes/

In the midst of all the writings that have been linked to the bankruptcy reorganization of Factop factoring (before the Seventh Civil Court of Santiago), a large number of people and companies appear that are creditors of the bankrupt Sauer family company. Among the creditors are, for example, the lawyer María Leonarda Villalobos herself and her husband (who lent a billion pesos to the Sauers), but there is also a company from Concepción, M&T, which has a rather peculiar history, as it ensures having been a victim of Factop and also of Matías Ugalde, who became known nationally in 2020, when the Organized Crime Investigative Brigade (Brico) of the PDI arrested him, along with six other people, accused of having purchased an AK rifle -47. Although the story goes back 13 or 14 years, the lawyer who represents the owners of M&T, Pablo Faundes Beckdorf, points out that only as a result of Luis Hermosilla's audio were they able to have a more exact view of what happened to the money from their clients. The beginning of the story is told in a complaint filed before the Concepción Court, which explains that the owners of M&T, Mauricio Toledo and Patricio Maturana, were awarded an important subcontract with Valko SA in 2009, in the midst of the improvement of the road that connects the towns of Ensenada and Las Cascadas, at the foot of the Osorno volcano, which had been delivered by the Ministry of Public Works to Valko. In total, there were close to 1,500 million pesos that the Penquista company would receive. However, it is indicated in said judicial action, "just after the work began, Matías Alfonso Ugalde Vásquez appeared on the scene", who contacted Toledo, "presenting himself as a businessman and business manager, offering to develop a series of ventures in favor of the M&T company.” Since Ugalde claimed to have contacts in Valko, Toledo commissioned him to take charge of the works in the south, but money began to run out around February 2010 (shortly before the earthquake), as the first payments from Valko had not arrived. However, when they asked about it, the company told them that they had paid Ugalde on time. When asked how they canceled him, if he did not have the authority to do so, they were shown two mandates signed before the Santos Notary Office in Santiago, which authorized Ugalde to receive said money. Faundes explains that Ugalde's fingerprint is actually on the mandate, but – as he points out – the signatures of his clients were forged. The complaint also asserts that, in addition to the above, many M&T invoices were delivered by Ugalde to Factop without the knowledge of the company's owners, to such an extent that – the lawyer details – “in most of the invoices there is an acknowledgment of debt signed by Mr. Daniel Sauer for Factop, and Mr. Ugalde, in the notary office of Samuel Klecky Rapaport in Santiago.” https://www.elmostrador.cl/noticias/pais/2023/12/12/la-relacion-entre-el-caso-factop-y-el-sujeto-detenido-por-comprar-un-ak-47/
