Metaverse University opens in Barcelona in September with a hybrid, face-to-face and telematic format Àlex Moga was a deputy for three years and trained at MIT Ana Jiménez "Technology can make everything worse depending on which hands are left." It is not a Luddite saying it, it is a warning from Àlex Moga, CEO of Horizon Metaverse and promoter of Metaverse University, a school of digital economy with a hybrid format that will open its physical and virtual doors next September in Barcelona. This businessman, who was a deputy of the Parliament between 2012 and 2015 and has no interest in remembering that stage, warns that the inequality caused by the digital divide may be even greater, in a context in which humanity is experiencing "the acceleration largest” in its history. In 2019 Moga updated his computer science studies at MIT specializing in digital transformation – blockchain, artificial intelligence, internet of things, cybersecurity and the cloud – and in March of last year he took the Metaverse brand, before Mark Zukerberg announced last October the mutation of Facebook to Meta. “The blockchain is here to stay and it is going to change everything,” says Moga, who adds that this has a very large impact on the economy. The blockchain – chain of blocks – is a mechanism that allows anonymous transactions and interactions between people, without intermediaries, he explains. Until now there were transactions that passed through centralized systems, such as banks, which act as mediators. With the blockchain you can avoid that actor who acts as an intermediary. For this reason, the school will prepare students for what Moga defines as "the economy of the 21st century", which, according to predictions, will leave behind the traditional economy. The academic program will address what it is and how it works, issues such as the aforementioned blockchain -which will be the leitmotif of the training-, cryptoactives and cryptocurrencies -such as bitcoin and other digital currencies-, payment systems such as tokenization, finance decentralized (DeFi), digital works with a certificate of authenticity that may also have value in real life (NFTs), financing through cryptocurrencies (ICO) and investment. "If you don't know how cryptocurrencies and markets work, you can't invest in them, even though many people do it to speculate and without knowledge," says Moga. At the school, which will offer basic and intensive one-week courses and later a four-month master's degree for profiles with prior training and executives, they do not intend to train investors. The intention is for students to gain an in-depth understanding of the digital economy and the possibilities it offers, as well as the metaverse, a virtual environment that recreates reality and in which you can interact with avatars, with anonymous profiles, and which allows you to provide services that now the barriers of the physical world prevent. A business that has generated a euphoria of investments in recent months and that, according to economic and technological forecasts, will grow significantly in this decade and an ecosystem in which aspects before the academic program play a fundamental role. The forecast is that there will be, thanks to the hybrid format, 458 each month, and they hope that there will be registered both in Spain and in Latin America. Students will be charged based on income, about 300 euros for those in Spain, and 120 for those in South America. There will also be a scholarship program. The business plan provides for an initial start-up capital of 465,000 euros and to date a first round of financing of 100,000 has been reached, but there will be more. Revenues for the first year are calculated at over 4 million, with profits of over one million. In the fifth year, income of more than 10 million and profits of more than 6 million. The project will be presented next Tuesday, in person and online, at the Foment del Treball headquarters.

They have different qualities that allow them to anticipate earthquakes and storms. These help them to protect themselves The progress of research suggests that many animals are capable of detecting minimal vibrations, subtle atmospheric changes and even magnetic currents that humans cannot perceive (Reuters) Human beings have a great technological development that allows us to achieve many advances, but, although we can build models based on theories or data collection, we are unable to predict an earthquake, while many animals have the ability to escape to safe areas before that such a disaster occurs. The Greek civilization described how mice, snakes, weasels, centipedes and beetles left cities days before a devastating earthquake. Recently some tsunamis that killed more than 200,000 people claimed the lives of very few animals. Based on this reality, the researchers proposed several lines of work that try to discover the origins of these mysterious abilities in animals. The progress of research suggests that many animals are capable of detecting minimal vibrations, subtle atmospheric changes and even magnetic currents that humans cannot perceive. In that sense, rodents and dogs can hear much higher frequencies than humans. Elephants perceive lower frequencies than we do, and a large number of insects are very sensitive to vibrations through their legs. Elephants perceive lower frequencies than we do and a lot of insects are very sensitive to vibrations through their feet. The set of this special sensitivity of many animals, by means of different perceptions, would be a reasonable explanation for the anticipation of the coming of a disaster. All this could help them detect small changes in the environment and motivate them to flee. Many animals reacted to the arrival of an adverse natural phenomenon with very unique manifestations by exaggerating behaviors and behaviors. Meows, they appeared at the doors, squawks, maddened races are just some of the manifestations that, together with the hasty flight, allow disasters to be presented when observing them. A clear example is that of Chile, a naturally seismic country in which many studies have been carried out in Valdivia. There it has been possible to detect that the horses began to neigh a few seconds before each seismic movement, at which time their whole bodies trembled. Many birds announced each tremor with a particular loudness about ten seconds before people noticed it. And the dogs announced with plaintive howls the slightest jolts while other animal species, such as sheep and chickens, were indifferent to the seismic movements. A special case is that of ants since this faculty of foresight saves their lives. They are able to leave their anthills, predicting a natural phenomenon up to an hour before they are prohibited. Returning to the generality, a special case is that of the ants since this faculty of foresight saves their lives. They are able to leave their anthills, predicting a natural phenomenon up to an hour before they are banned. In the mines, the rats that leave their dens, screaming insistently and running wildly, are the ones that, with that premonitory attitude, save the lives of the miners. This behavior constituted an alarm signal for them, who left the galleries in a hurry. Undoubtedly, this occurs due to the conjunction of the most perceptive senses of many animals that, in their joint actions, allow us to obtain a detailed and anticipated panorama of the environment much superior to ours, to which is added the fact of compulsively following their conservation instinct. *Prof. Dr. Juan Enrique Romero @drromerook is a veterinarian.

Only 10 units based on the competition version have been manufactured After manufacturing a new mount for the Lloyd Brothers Motorsports team, which will be adapted to the standards of the American Flat Track, Fuller Moto has taken the opportunity to create 10 street legal units based on the competition version. One of them is for sale on the Ebay internet portal. When the American Flat Track North American Championship ended changing the regulations regarding the maximum displacement allowed regarding the engines of the participating motorcycles, the Lloyd Brothers Motorsports team that competed with a Ducati equipped with a Hypermotard 939 engine, had to resort to the Fuller trainer Motorcycle to recreate a new motorcycle that would adapt to the legality imposed in the championship. Two good things came out of that union. The first is the motorcycle with which Lloyd Brothers Motorsports has been able to compete since 2018. On the other hand, Bryan Fuller, founder and owner of the preparation company, thought that it would not be bad to create a small run of those Ducati intended for flat track, but homologated for use on the street. In other words, a "registrable cucumber" with which to emulate your favorite dirt-track drivers. Ducati/Fuller Street Tracker 2018 Sides Now we have known through Bike-urious the existence of one of these units that is for sale on the Ebay portal. In addition, it is the pre-production copy that shares, even more so, a greater number of elements with the competition version. A long list of extras and "black leg" components make this bike the ideal companion to go with the rear wheel constantly crossed. Mechanically, it is equipped with a Ducati Monster 796 engine, which has been brought up to 798 cc. According to the seller, it is currently delivering a power of 65 hp to the wheel. All this for a final weight of just 145 kilograms. Both the wiring and the ECU have been modified by The Duc SHOP. It also has a custom-made exhaust system with stainless steel collectors and double silencer. Ducati/Fuller Street Tracker 2018 engine The chassis is tubular type with competition specifications. It is designed by CNC technique, laser cut and supported by the best components. Proof of this is the Ohlins FG511 inverted front fork with TTX Racing legs. Behind a Fox Shox Racing monoshock is in charge in this section. On the other hand, it mounts Sun brand aluminum wheels in 19”x 3.5” measurements. The tires for their part are 27"x7"x19" in front and 27.5"x7.5"x19". Finally we find a set of EBC discs bitten by Brembo calipers in measurements 320 mm at the front and 240 mm at the rear. In terms of equipment, this Ducati-Fuller Street Tracker 2018 has a fully customized silhouette, as well as the paint. It has a digital instrument panel with varied information, although minimalist in appearance, and also full-LED lighting. But everything in it is designed and thought to be enjoyed on a dirt-track oval. If you are thinking of getting it, at this very moment the bid is for 7,100 dollars, with 1 day 5 hours to go until the end of it. As we already assumed, the minimum reservation price has not yet been reached. If you want to bid you are still on time and you can do it by accessing this link.

Ralf Rangnick's team, who were without Cristiano Ronaldo due to illness, have only managed one victory in the last four games. Marcus Rashford laments A languid Manchester United did not pass the draw at Old Trafford against Leicester (1-1) and dropped from the fight for Champions League positions in the Premier League, which this weekend achieved the thirtieth day. Ralf Rangnick's team, who could not count on Cristiano Ronaldo due to illness, has won just one win in the last four games. The downturn is evident in the 'reds', surpassed by a more motivated rival but anchored in the middle of the classification without any objective in the remainder of the season. The damage could have been greater for United. David de Gea, with a couple of decisive performances, denied the goal to the foxes, who scored a second goal that was annulled by the VAR. Without conviction, he tried to take control of Manchester, which hardly bothered Kasper Schmaichel. Only the meeting was shaken in the last half hour. It was Leicester who took the lead in the 63rd minute when a James Maddison pass was headed in by Nigerian Kelechi Iheanacho, who beat De Gea. United responded immediately, finding the equalizer four minutes later. A shot by Marcus Rashford, who had left minutes before, from the edge of the box was neutralized by Schmaichel, but his clearance was used by the Brazilian Fred, who took the ball into the net. Leicester could win. A header from Wesley Fofana put De Gea to the test, triggering a great intervention. Then came Maddison's goal that invalidated the VAR. The point leaves Manchester United sixth, three behind Arsenal, fourth, which has two fewer games. Leicester are ninth.

Walking on water has been considered magical or supernatural. But nature is exceptional. In fact, it is so great that there are numerous cases of animals that can walk on water. These animals are not magical or anything like that, but rather they have characteristics that make it possible for them to walk on water. In this EcologíaVerde article we will explain how this works and the animals that walk on water. Why do some animals walk on water? Water is a knowingly flexible and fluid medium that can be transferred without problem. But surely you have seen animals that can suspend and walk on water, how is this possible? Insects can do this because their weight does not break the surface tension of the water, where hydrogen bonds are used to "shape" and control the boundary of the water. In order not to break the surface tension they have to be: very light small in size With impermeability in its extremities: to avoid the absorption of water On the other hand, there are cases of vertebrate animals that are not so small and not so light. In this case, they hit the water with their legs like a slap, which generates forces that propel them and support their weight. The reason for this strange ability is oriented towards feeding, both to hunt and to escape predators. It also works so that certain organisms have a safe environment to lay their eggs. Next we will present some animals that can walk in the water and what particularities they have to achieve it Raft spiders (Dolomedes fimbriatus) Spiders have a very particular system to be able to walk, not only in the water but also out of it. Specifically, we can talk about raft spiders (Dolomedes fimbriatus). They are invertebrates without muscles, so they need to exert force outwards so that their legs do not bend inwards. They exert hydraulic pressure, where hemolymph is pushed into the spiders to create pressure. This same pressure is sustained when they are walking on water. Being their legs very thin, and having multiple, the already reduced weight of the spiders is distributed among the eight legs, exerting minimal pressure on the water and without breaking the hydrogen bonds. We leave you this other article on the Parts of the spider so that you have more information on the subject. Cobbler (Gerris lacustris) Gerris lacustris are insects that have the typical six legs of similar size but, unlike the other insects, they have the second pair of very long legs. It uses them to take advantage of the surface tension of the water with the minimum possible force. On the tips of these legs they have water-repellent hairs, where they create a water bubble to keep them afloat. The back legs of these water-walking animals are also a bit long, and they use them for support and direction when moving. The front legs are short and it uses them to maneuver. Mosquitoes (Aedes aegypti) Mosquitoes need water to complete their life cycle. This is where they lay their hydrophobic eggs. These will hatch and go through the larva and pupa phase in the water. With this information it is easy to understand that adult mosquitoes need mechanisms to walk on water and be able to lay their eggs. These water-walking animals also use surface tension and lean on their hydrophobic legs to support themselves without breaking the water. If they do, it may be impossible for them to get out of it, especially since their wings get wet and they can't detach to fly. Many of the Aedes aegypti are of medical importance for transmitting multiple diseases to humans. Among the prevention measures is the cleaning of stagnant water, due to the need that mosquitoes have towards this environment. Discover what mosquitoes are for in this other article that we recommend from EcologíaVerde. Jesus Christ lizards or basilisks (Basiliscus spp.) These lizards are very agile and can run on water. So far we've only seen arthropods, and this is an amazing example of vertebrates that can walk on water. To achieve this, they have a very long and thin tail that gives them stability and hind legs with tiny fins that hit the water, and that can go back when they walk on land. In addition to these structures, the Basiliscus spp. They use a very fast speed of 1.5 meters per second to cross over the water, managing not to break the surface tension. If they run slightly slower, they will sink. They use this strategy to escape predators and can drop from trees to run on water. Geckos (Gekkonidae) The Gekkonidae are very skilled. They are not only animals that can walk on water, but can also run on it at similar speeds as when on land, using different tactics. They have a hydrophobic and water-repellent skin that reduces drag and water drag. Being of medium size, they use the surface tension strategy but also the one of hitting the water with their legs to walk on the water. In addition to this, air bubbles form under its legs that support it on the surface. Lastly, they undulate their body and tail to create forward propulsion. Snails (Helix aspersa) A particular case among mollusc animals are the snails (Helix aspersa) that can walk underwater, but we do not mean that they walk on the underwater floor, but that they walk hanging and submerged right on the dividing line of the atmosphere with the water and holding on to it. This was achieved in a dynamic in which the participant: the mucus The surface tension. The creation of waves. pressure differences. In addition, these animals that walk on water also help themselves to the buoyancy of the air that they keep in their shell. Jacana or bird Jesus Christ (Jacana jacana) These birds, also called lily walkers, appear to walk on water, but actually spend virtually their entire lives walking on the leaves of water lilies, rarely making it to dry land. They even make their nests on these floating leaves. They are not good at swimming but they are good at flying. Their toes are exceptionally long, so they have more surface area when they step on them to spread their weight over floating vegetation.

The coffee footballer did not hide his sadness at what happened to his team in the qualifying process. Juan Guillermo Cuadrado regretted that Colombia was left out of Qatar 2022 Colombian Juan Guillermo Cuadrado, a Juventus player from Italy, assured this Thursday, after not qualifying for the Qatar 2022 World Cup with the coffee team, that this was his "last chance" to play the World Cup. “No one but us, as a family, knows the sadness (we feel); and more when thinking that it was the last chance for me. But even in the midst of it (sadness) we must get up and move on, ”the 33-year-old player expressed in an Instagram story, thus leaving his continuity with the Andean team in doubt. Colombia said goodbye to the dream of qualifying for the World Cup on Tuesday, despite defeating Venezuela 0-1 as a visitor on the last day of qualifying. Those led by Reinaldo Rueda needed to beat Vinotinto to win the playoff spot, an instance that Peru reached, which will play the playoff against a team from Asia. In this line, Cuadrado recorded that Colombia played the World Cups in Brazil 2014 and Russia 2018, which meant the country's return to the cup after 16 years of absence, something that the Juventus player considers as a "reason to thank". The Colombian players lament after failing to qualify for the Qatar 2022 playoffs. The World Cup will be in Canada, Mexico and the next United States in 2026, and a coffee restructuring is supposed to begin in order to qualify under the leadership of players like Luis Díaz, Carlos Cuesta or Luis Sinisterra, who will take the witness left by references like James Rodríguez, Falcao García, Cuadrado or David Ospina. If Cuadrado gets to play the 2026 World Cup, he will do so at the age of 38. On the other hand, James regretted on Wednesday that Colombia had not been able to qualify for the 2022 Qatar World Cup, while questioning his continuity with the national team. “I don't know if he's coming for the next processes, I don't know if he's here or not. What I do know is that it breaks my soul to lose, it makes me uncomfortable not being classified and this cannot happen again, ”wrote the player, who currently defends the colors of Al Rayyan.

It is surprising that an economic proposal already tried and failed, with a high economic, political and institutional cost, returns unchanged. Legislative initiatives and various opinion notes have been entered regarding, for now, the project to dollarize the Argentine economy, inspiring, they say, in the purpose of contributing to the reduction of inflation and providing solidity to the national economy. It is surprising that an economic proposal already tried and failed, with a high economic, political and institutional cost, returns unchanged. As almost always happens with these economists, they have an undeniable ignorance of the Argentine institutionality; very especially of the National Constitution and the International Human Rights Treaties, which today make up the supreme law of the Nation (arts. 31 and 75, inc. 22°, C.N.). It is that, among the powers of the National Legislative Power, art. 75, Inc. 6, provides for "Establish and regulate a federal bank with the power to issue currency, as well as other national banks." Then the Inc. 11° of the same norm establishes: “Have currency stamped, fix its value and that of foreign ones; and adopt a uniform system of weights and measures for the entire Nation”. The first provision, which copies (when not) the US regime, has not become operational to date, so the powers established in both paragraphs of the C.N., have institutional corporeality in the Central Bank of the Argentine Republic. Now let us suppose, to relieve the absurdity of the dollarization proposal, renouncing a section of our sovereignty as a Nation, which is the issuance of our currency and fixing the value of foreign currencies, that a currency is adopted that we cannot issue nor circulate as representative currency all of our wealth and natural resources, and of the goods and services that make up the gross domestic product of the Nation. We will never see how to adapt the monetary expression to the entire set that it should represent. Every economist must know that the scarcity of a currency that is not in the power of any national authority to issue it, and therefore its circulation will always be limited to its existence and availability, implies the rise in the value of the substitute currency, The U.S. dollar. Perhaps it is what these sectors intend, to produce the adjustment that they both proclaim and yearn for. Impoverish the Argentine people and prevent their access to food, housing, health and education. Make the provisions of the UN International Covenants a dead letter. Of Economic, Social and Cultural Rights; pact that begins, as well as that of Civil and Political Rights, recognizing the right of free or self-determination of the peoples, their right to economic independence and the ownership of the peoples – not of the States or their Governments, but of the peoples- on the set of wealth and natural resources existing in their territory. This is, I remind you once again, of the highest-ranking norms of international human rights law, to whose compliance the 193 States that make up the UN must obey. Now I delve into the legal/institutional aspect; that which is rarely addressed when economic proposals are launched for the nation's people as a whole. Will they not warn these propagandists of the US dollar that it is unreasonable to introduce a legislative proposal when the institutional fence is at the highest level of our institutions: the National Constitution and the International Human Rights Treaties (arts. 31 and 75 of the CN ) ? Or is it that they propitiate a Constitutional Reform (art. 30. C.N.) to impose the submissive monstrosity? I predict the infeasibility of giving treatment, in the National Congress, to a grossly unconstitutional initiative, leaving as a safeguard, always, that of going to the National Judicial Power to annul the null act, of absolute and incurable nullity. And I prevent what is established in art. 36 of the C.N. –duty of obedience to the supremacy of the National Constitution–, when it recognizes the right of the Argentine people to resist acts of institutional violence and the disqualification of the promoters of these initiatives, as infamous traitors to the country (art. 29, CN) . *Eduardo S.

If you plan to adopt a pet or in fact, your children are going to go to the home of a relative or friend who has animals, it is important to know how to introduce them so that the treatment is appropriate. There is no doubt that animals are usually something that attracts a lot of attention to most children, but not all of them are suitable for us to pick them up and play with them, no matter how pet they are. For this reason, introducing animals to children is recommended, it is not complicated at all and, in fact, it can bring innumerable benefits. To do this, you will need to take some safety precautions. Here is everything you need to know. How to introduce animals to the child. Let's know some of the (simple) guidelines with which you can introduce animals to your children in an appropriate way. Set limits from the start. No, the animal cannot sleep with the children and we cannot give him the toys either. He has to have his own bed and his own toys. Use training guidelines to teach children. In case it is a dog. For example, teaching your children to make the dog obey them when they say "no" or "sit" will avoid situations in which the animal may want to overdo it and perhaps, for example, take its stuffed animal or take away its snack. Get your pet used to receiving proper care early on. The child should get to know the pet or animal in a quiet environment and with nothing to distract from each other. Let the child touch the animal if he feels like it. The first time can be quite impulsive. You must know that it is better to caress it little by little and if it is small, for example a hamster, you should not hold it with force or perhaps it is better to hold it with the cage. No strength nothing. In case the child does not want to approach or does not want to touch the animal, you should not force him. It is better to go little by little and let the child see for himself that he is not in danger and that the animal is not going to do anything to him. For this, it may be good for us to interact with the animal so that the child sees that it is something safe. Cut the child's nails before meeting the animal, so that in the case of being small it does not hurt him if he grabs it hard. Similarly, in the case of cats and dogs, it will be good if they also have their nails in good condition so as not to harm the child if they start playing. Let the pet sniff something on the child before introducing him. If it's a dog, be sure to establish that the item is yours and keep it at arm's length so it can smell it. If you are presenting a dog, take it for a long walk before the presentation and keep the child inside when you return. Be sure to hold the child when the dog comes in and let him sniff you from a distance. Let the dog approach gradually, but stay in control of the situation.

The AMB 001 is the first motorcycle created by Aston Martin, a fact that made this vehicle an object of desire for the most staunch collectors of the British brand back in 2019. On that occasion it surprised us with a unique image, state-of-the-art technology level and power in abundance. However, it was only a prototype that the brand itself along with Brough Superior had to put a point. Now, three years later, the bike has been perfected to the last, achieving a higher level of finish without leaving any of its specifications behind. For this reason, the first 30 units have been delivered to their legitimate owners. AMB 001, 180 hp turbocharged but only for track use If something characterizes Aston Martin, it is the exclusivity that it manages to imprint on any of its creations. So with his first superbike it was not going to be less. Named AMB 001, it has been developed together with Brough Superior, another mythical brand in the world of two wheels that has 100 years of history. We met it for the first time at the EICMA in Milan back in 2019 in the form of a prototype. It would not be until 2020 when it enters the production phase with the intention of delivering the first units as soon as possible. However, the pandemic totally changed the planes, delaying the production and delivery of this beautiful motorcycle for a whole year. Now, in 2022, we can announce that its first units are reaching its customers. Aesthetically it has a radical image that is closely related to the aerospace sector, since it has been developed with the help of Mecano ID, using materials as resistant and light as carbon fiber, titanium or aluminum. Thanks to that, this impressive motorcycle has stopped the dry weight at an impressive 180 kilograms. But beyond its weight and its image, its engine stands out. This has a V2 and 997 cc block tuned by Brough Superior with which it is capable of developing 180 CV of power thanks to the use of a variable geometry turbo that blows through an intercooler. To transmit the power to the ground, it has a removable 6-speed gearbox, along with an APTC clutch and a chain final drive. As for its part of the cycle, a Hossack-type front suspension inspired by the BMW Duolever system but with fixed bars stands out. Of course, this motorcycle is so special that it can only be used on the circuit since it does not have the homologation to ride on the road. As we said in the introduction, both British firms intended to deliver the only 100 units manufactured by the end of 2020. However, the pandemic totally changed the planes, delaying their production for a whole year. However, after this long year of waiting, the first 30 customers will receive their motorcycle at the official Aston Martin dealers, having paid an amount as spectacular as the motorcycle, 108,000 euros.

A defensive error by Macedonia opens the doors to the World Cup for the long-suffering Portuguese team, who only let go when they were able to counterattack (2-0) Portugal qualified for the World Cup in Qatar after going through several years of fire. The disappointment against Serbia in the ordinary phase, the trouble against Turkey in the semifinal of the playoffs, and a full-blown traffic jam against North Macedonia in the decisive match, this Tuesday in Porto. As is often the case when everything is so nerve-wracking, it was an opponent's mistake that triggered the liberating counterattack. Yes, the kickback. The opportunistic blow was the only way that this power of world football found against the hard-working Macedonian boys who had just disgraced Italy in Palermo. Bruno Fernandes, with two goals, took over the stage to the detriment of Cristiano, who signed up for his fifth World Cup under the new condition of companion. This time he has teammates who are better than him. The pressure suffocated Portugal, forced before their fans, by history and by hierarchy, to overcome their very modest rival. The players showed signs of drowning. Hasty decisions followed. The ball rolled slowly, like a ball of fresh cheese on heavy grass, and the Macedonians hardly had to correct positions to turn the approaches to their goal into inaccessible paths. Lost in the confusion, even the judicious Bruno Fernandes was sending balls from the front to his strikers, when it was clear that the Macedonian centre-backs were winning them all. Velkovski and Musliu did not allow themselves to be anticipated and the centers rained down on an impenetrable ceiling. The fort in the visiting area was forbidden territory for Cristiano and Jota in an unexpected scenario. Far from shutting themselves away, Macedonia took its players away from their natural habitat. Deployed, they stretched into the opposite field in a fit of Balkan bravery that closely resembled recklessness. They left spaces but not even like that did the Portuguese get elaborated with depth. Not even comfortable Cristiano and his teammates prospered against it, and in the O Dragao stadium only the strident voices of the 2,000 Macedonians could be heard. Portugal had barely produced a cross from Cristiano – which went wide of the goal after a counter pass from Otavinho – when the sky opened in Porto. The blessing came in the form of self-inflicted damage. The culprit was the Macedonian captain, Stefan Ristovski, who drove down the right flank and could think of nothing better than to send a pass into the middle, to the most sensitive part of his defence, when his teammates were not expecting the ball but were deploying in attack. The ball landed at the feet of Bruno Fernandes, who was passing by. United's hitch combined with Cristiano and his teammate returned the wall with a pipe to Musliu on the edge of the area. Only against Dimitrevski, Bruno opened the ankle and adjusted the cross shot. After half an hour of anguish, the 1-0 brought Portugal to the surface of the well. scorer and hero The advantage allowed Portugal to lower their pulse and find their place in the field against an opponent that seemed too limited to carry out the initiative. Even so, he did not control the game, with so much emotion and so little empathy that these players generate that they would not understand by heart continuously. In moments of doubt, only Bernardo Silva knew how to handle the times with sense. It was not enough to tie down Macedonia, who continued to lurk in the Portuguese area until a fortuitous loss, caused by an intervention by Pepe, enabled Bruno Fernandes. The skinny man opened long for Otavinho and had the most beautiful counterattack —for a change— of the night. Otavinho galloped to the left and crossed in the middle of the field to connect with Bruno Fernandes, who has become a hero of Porto —his small homeland— with another definition of category.

For the war in Ukraine and to reinforce NATO's eastern flank, the Biden administration seeks to allocate $6.9 billion. File photo of dollar bills, in a file photograph. The Government of the President of the United States, Joe Biden, presented this Monday a budget project of 5.79 billion dollars, with greater spending on defense that coincides with the war in Ukraine, which he wants to finance by raising taxes on corporations and More rich. In its 277-page proposal, the White House requests that Congress approve a budget of 5.79 billion dollars for fiscal year 2023, which begins next October, compared to 5.85 billion in 2022. In total, the US government wants to allocate 813,000 million dollars to defense, which represents an increase of 4% compared to fiscal year 2022, of which 31,000 million dollars would be in new spending. For the war in Ukraine and to reinforce the eastern flank of NATO, the Biden Administration seeks to allocate 6.9 billion dollars in order to “counteract” the Russian invasion of Ukrainian territory. In a statement, Biden requested that spending continue to respond "to aggression" by Russian President Vladimir Putin on Ukraine, "with US support for the economic, humanitarian and security needs" of kyiv. In a subsequent press conference, the president stressed that the increase in defense spending is due to the fact that "the world has changed" due to the competition posed by countries such as China and Russia, which will require against cyberattacks and in new capabilities in space, including hypersonic missiles. "This will be one of our biggest investments in national security," Biden said. On the domestic front, the budgeted initiative includes 17.4 billion dollars for the security forces to fight crime in the US, of which 1.7 billion will be used to combat firearms trafficking. Basically, as Biden himself explained in his press conference, the Government wants more police officers on the streets and for this it is going to dedicate more funds to the security forces to reduce crime. The Government wants to finance this budget while reducing the federal deficit by 1.3 trillion dollars this year, in "the largest annual reduction in US history", raising taxes on the wealthiest and large companies . Taxes for the rich and corporations This will be possible, in part, by raising the corporate tax from 21% to 28%, something that is opposed by the moderate wing of the Democrats in Congress. The Executive also wants to impose a new minimum tax of 20% for the richest in the country, that is, fortunes greater than 100 million dollars. On taxes, the director of the White House Office of Management and Budget, Shalala Young, assured in a call with journalists that this project "guarantees that no one who earned less than $400,000 a year will pay a penny more in new taxes. ”. Young stressed that they have prepared this proposal based on economic data that indicates that the US has created more than 6.5 million jobs in a year, with growth of 5.7% and a decrease in unemployment of 3 .8%. However, this project is separated from the certainties established by Biden in the budgets for fiscal year 2022, the first of his term, where social policies and the climate fight were marked as priorities, some of which have not gone ahead in the Congress. Still on track to recover from the pandemic, the US government is asking Congress in its current bill for $9.9 billion to bolster the capacity of health systems against covid-19 and $81.7 billion over of the next five years in health security against future pandemics. For a better USA Biden recorded at the press conference that his father used to say "don't tell me your value, show me your budget", and pointed out that his initiative sends a clear message that the Government "values fiscal responsibility first; security second; and third, investments in human capital to rebuild a better America." The White House projects that in 2023 the GDP will grow 5% compared to its forecast of 7.3% in 2022, in addition to predicting inflation of 4.7% next year, one percentage point more than in the current one. It also predicts that unemployment will fall to 3.9% in 2023, compared to its projection of 5.4% for 2022. Earlier this month, the Federal Reserve (Fed) carried out the first interest rate hike since 2018 in a shift towards a contractionary monetary policy to combat high inflation, aggravated by the Russian invasion of Ukraine. The US central bank raised the official interest rate by 0.25 percentage points, which places it in a range of between 0.25% and 0.5%, after two years anchored at levels close to 0 to try to mitigate the effects on the economy of the covid-19 pandemic.

Judging by the snakes, the evolutionary solution to limblessness is a success. Now, a fossil found in Illinois offers the oldest known legless reptile, and suggests it could be an ancient condition. Artist's impression of Micraroter recumbirostran microsaur, a contemporary of Nagini, but still has forelimbs while Nagini does not. Locomotion is good, but sometimes, losing one’s leg seems to confer an evolutionary benefit. This is evidenced by the fact that limblessness has evolved over 60 times just in squamates (scaled reptiles). It has evolved in other groups too, though never in mammals. Inquiring minds wonder when all this began, and how. Did all four limbs disappear at the same time? The front ones first? Back ones first? Did it happen the same way in all limbless animals? What exactly is that on a python’s bottom, insofar as it has one? In short, did our very, very distant ancestors possess an adaptive ability to lose legs? That could be a yes. A new paper published in Nature identifies the earliest-known complete loss of legs among amniotes. Meet Nagini mazonense, an early reptile that lived in Carboniferous-era Illinois at least 307 million years ago. This animal, a type of microsaur, had an elongated snakelike body and had lost its front legs, but not its back ones. Though those hind limbs seem somewhat reduced. Not only did Nagini have no forelimbs whatsoever: It had even lost its pectoral girdle, the bones to which the arms would have connected, if there had been any. This is the earliest known complete limb loss detected in an amniote, say Arjan Mann of the Smithsonian Institution, Jason Pardo of the University of Calgary, and Hillary Maddin of Carleton University. All four-legged animals are tetrapods, meaning they evolved from fish. Amniotes are a subset of tetrapods. Amniotes include all animals that develop immersed in amniotic fluid (even inside the egg) such as mammals, birds and reptiles. Fish and amphibians are not amniotes. A viper, an example of the lack of legs as a good evolutionary solution Remarkably, Nagini's fossilization in shale at Francis Creek was good enough to preserve well-defined impressions of its soft tissue. These impressions support paleontologists' interpretation that the animal's body was serpentine, Mann explains. He adds that in practically the same place and from the same time, he and other paleontologists found another microsaur, Joermungandr bolti, with a similar body pattern: lengthening and shortening of limbs, but it still had limbs. Including the forelimbs. Nagini is the first amniote known to lose legs, as far as we know, but it's not the first tetrapod to do so. That honor goes to extinct amphibians called aisopods that lived in the Carboniferous and Early Permian in Europe and North America and some were quite large, up to a meter long. The discovery of complete loss of forelimbs in Nagini, a creature at or near the base of Amniota, argues that limb loss is an ancient choice among amniotes. When considered together with the lack of limbs in early amphibians like the isotopod that lived at the same time, it is possible that the feature may be even more entrenched and ancestral to Tetrapoda, the team write. Vestigial snake legs? Not quite Technically, Nagini is a recumbirostrant molgophid, which is believed by some, but not all, paleontologists to be an ancient reptile. Their evolutionary pattern of losing their front legs first is the same as that of snakes. In other parts of the animal kingdom, the legless lost their hind legs first, the authors explain. An example is the Mexican burrowing lizard known as Bipes, po[CENSORED]rly called axolotl or mole lizard. They still have vestigial front legs. The burrowing Mexican lizard Bipes, po[CENSORED]rly called ajolotes or mole lizards, still have vestigial front feet So one conclusion is that the evolutionary serpentine pattern of losing the front legs first may not be as rare among the amniote set as previously thought. It bears adding that studying leglessness in ancient animals is tricky: One is looking for fossils of things that are not there as well as exquisite preservation of the being’s vertebral column. Also, if it had vestigial limbs, being small and delicate they might not preserve well. Nagini however had completely lost its pectoral girdle, which says it all. But why would ancient animals lose legs anyway? Running is good, whether to hunt or evade being eaten, so why has this pattern of leglessness on land evolved time and again – in reptiles, mind you (and some salamanders and another amphibian, the caecilian)? A snake's mating spurs. No they are not vestigial legsCredit: Dawson Note that the limb loss is accompanied by elongation, as exemplified by snakes and caecilians, and that there are zero mammals that went this route. That could indicate that losing limbs is an inherent privilege that developed within the squamate set but not a potential solution for all tetrapods and one would assume it has to do with niche capture, for instance, burrowing through sand and dirt. In separate work, paleontologists believe they have identified limblessness in early snakes in correlation with starting to burrow for shelter and to hunt. But a lot of mammals do that too – take the naked mole rat, the vole and the badger. Legless, they are not. The authors suggest that the absence of serpentine forms in mammals, frogs and turtles may be due to evolutionary constraints within these groups. Finally, remember we said snakes lose their front legs first? There had been a theory out there that the boa constrictors, anacondas and pythons have vestigial hind legs nestled in their rear-sector muscle. They do not. Experts reassure us all, what you’re seeing, if you’re looking there, are mating spurs. Mating spurs are fun. Giant snakes utilize this clawlike feature while moseying along the ground, to help them along when need be, when climbing trees, and when courting – to caress and stimulate the lady snake. We are not making this up. It’s in Herpetological Review. Link: https://www.haaretz.com/science-and-health/.premium-when-did-animals-first-lose-their-legs-we-finally-have-the-answer-1.10703606

Yamaha wants to introduce power steering on its production bikes and for this it has created a first prototype that will be tested in the Japanese motocross championship. The system will ease movement of the handlebars at low speeds but will also act as an active steering damper when raised. At the moment it does not have a date of arrival on the market but knowing that it will be tested in competition, its development could end up in production vehicles very soon. A bike-inspired power steering Power steering has become an essential element in cars. However, this device has never been seen as something necessary on motorcycles as it initially lacks sense since the effort required to move the handlebar of a motorcycle is not the same as that of a car's steering. However, Yamaha wanted to go beyond this first assumption by creating an electric steering prototype with the aim of improving the motorcycle's stability and agility. In addition, to accelerate its development, it has been introduced in the motorcycles of the Japanese motocross championship, serving as a unique testing laboratory. This EPS steering assistance system is part of the 'Transforming Mobility' project, which in turn is integrated into ART's 'Long-term vision for human possibilities' strategy, with which the brand intends to bring robotics to the market with solutions that help people have fun, safety and comfort, but also create technologies that help solve social problems. But back to the subject, the EPS works in a similar way to the electric motor of pedal-assist bicycles. Thanks to a sensor placed on the handlebar, the amount of force exerted to move it is measured. This sends a signal to the ECU (or control unit) to order the electric motor the amount of assistance it should grant based on the extracted data. Thanks to this, two things are achieved: on the one hand, moving the steering at low speed in a much more comfortable way, while at high speed it works as an active steering damper. According to Yamaha, in the first tests carried out, the movement feels as natural as when it is not carried. The system is physically made up of a magnetostrictive torque sensor that, as we said before, detects the rotation of the steering head. Coupled to this instrument we find the control unit and all of this united in the upper yoke of the suspension system. As convoluted as the system may seem, it has not brought about a dizzying change in direction for motorcycles or added excessive weight. In fact, the brand ensures that it is quite light, although it has not revealed its weight. Those of Iwata intend to introduce this system in their production models in the future, although they have not yet set a date for it. At the moment, those in charge of gathering information about this system and its development will be the Yamaha Factory Racing Team that will compete in the Japanese Motocross Championship, with its two YZ450FM and YZ250F, equipped with this EPS system.
