The narrow cave of the Thai children has come out well at the end, except for the brave Saman Gunan, the veteran Navy swimmer who has drowned in the rescue. Those of us who suffer from claustrophobia have experienced the drama in an especially intense way. The sinuous and meandering Tham Luang, named after Conrad and malignant topography, is already in our worst nightmares. There are nights when I still wake up with a choking crisis, a touch of neoprene and the sensation of having a stone wall in front of my face and not being able to move forward or back away. I would not have been taken out of there, that way, diving, although, of course, I would not have gotten involved either. The children-cave association is precedent in Altamira and especially in The Adventures of Tom Sawyer, when Tom and his girlfriend Beckie Thatcher are lost in the cave of MacDougal to have separated from the rest of the group of schoolboys to go to their own. Tom is already leaving the phase in which the best thing you can think of doing with a girl is to put a frog in your pocket (which I have tried and it is fun, and still - at the time - does not constitute a crime). Panic in the cave Twain writes in the novel that the cave, which he knew since he was a child (found in Hannibal, Missouri, and now called Mark Twain Cave), "was nothing but a vast maze of twisted galleries that separated from each other, they found again and did not lead anywhere. It was said that you could wander days and nights through the intricate network of cracks and fissures without ever reaching the end of the cave, and that you could go down and down to the depths of the earth and everywhere was the same: a labyrinth below of the other and all of them without end or end. " What a fright. It is true that it was not flooded but instead infested millions of bats. And worse things. It seems that Jesse James hid there (he left a graffiti) and around 1850 a doctor from Hannibal bought the cave and used it to carry out experiments with corpses. The most interesting included the attempt to petrify the remains of his 14-year-old daughter into a copper cylinder filled with alcohol.

AMD's Zen 2 architecture takes the company's processors down a new path that takes them away from the monolithic designs of the past. This movement has caused the company to depend on several manufacturers to manufacture the same product, and that offers AMD much more versatility when it comes to managing its lines. According to Semi Wiki sources, AMD plans to split the manufacturing of its new 5 nm chips between Samsung and TSMC, and expects to reach the mass production pace at the same time. TSMC was the first to manufacture in 7 nm, so AMD had to bet everything for TSMC. Samsung will have to put the batteries with their 5 nm if you want to be up to the task. With regard to the manufacturing nodes of the future, AMD wants to leave its options open in order to take full advantage of the competition in the semiconductor industry. It is expected that the 5 nm nodes of TSMC and Samsung will come to be used en masse at the same time and with similar performance and uses. According to the TSMC road map, that should happen during the second half of 2019.

The Detroit giant, which is in the middle of a restructuring phase, announced in November the closure of factories and the elimination of thousands of jobs in the United States, to the annoyance of President Donald Trump.

Tesla revealed plans to reduce its full-time workforce by 7% as one of the corporate moves to increase production of Model 3 and reduce vehicle prices, according to an email sent by the company's founder Elon Musk this Friday, published later on his website. These cuts will affect more than 3,000 employees, according to a figure that Musk announced last year, which indicates that the company has a workforce of 45,000 employees. In June of last year there was a similar round of layoffs. It may interest you: The euphoria for becoming an 'intelligent company' Tesla shares fell about 8% in the operations prior to the opening of the market. Musk said the "small" profits and the pressure to deliver lower-cost Model 3 vehicles "in all markets" later this year mean that "the road ahead is very difficult." Likewise, he told the workers that the company will only retain the most critical employees and contractors. In the letter, he stressed that Tesla is "against massive and established competitors" and must work "much more than other manufacturers to survive while building affordable and sustainable products." "To those who leave, thank you for all you have done to advance our mission, I am deeply grateful for your contributions to Tesla." The layoffs come after unexpected gains of US $ 312 million for Tesla in the third quarter, boosted by the solid sales that the Model 3 vehicle is having. However, Musk warned that from unaudited results Tesla is projected to produce less profit in the third quarter. fourth trimester. "This quarter, as in the third quarter, the shipment of Model 3 variants at a higher price (this time to Europe and Asia) will allow us, with great difficulty, effort and some luck, to aim for a small profit "wrote Musk. The businessman is aware that Tesla's products "are still too expensive for most people" and emphasized that the competition is fierce on the part of more established rivals. Musk did not specify which personnel are most at risk of being fired, suggesting that the layoffs could spread throughout the company. Tesla will release its quarterly report, with its fourth quarter earnings, on February 5. Reflecting on 2018, Musk said it was the most challenging but successful year in Tesla's 16-year history. "Looking forward to our mission to accelerate the advent of sustainable transport and energy, which is important for all life on Earth, we face an extremely difficult challenge: making our cars, batteries and solar products competitive in fuel costs. fossils, "he added.

To face this challenge you are accompanied by the former basketball player and Olympic medalist, José Luis Llorente; the writer, lecturer and businesswoman Pilar Jericó, and Jesús Vega, who has served as director of Human Resources for companies such as Inditex or Banco de Santander. The three have added their experience and knowledge to write "Vitamin X" (Alienta Editorial), a book with which they intend to "challenge" people "to be the best version of themselves". EFEsalud has talked with the three to know what is the magic formula they defend, what they base what they call "energy proposal", and what we insist, day after day, on doing wrong. According to Jesús Vega, the error "most common and most intense in almost all people is to be influenced by the environment", delegating energy to what happens outside: "We arrived at the office and we found angry, unmotivated people, and there is an environment that somehow contaminates negatively our way of being." The second, he points out, is not being aware of that reality. "Sometimes we get carried away by these dynamics, and we do not reflect much on how to stop this situation to start new habits, which are also very simple." Pilar Jericó observes: "many people do not know what we want. I do not say five years from now with such an uncertain world, but at least be clear about what we want in the professional world, even if we only have the perspective of a month. " "But that we are not masters of the agendas of others, but have our own agenda, our objectives, a purpose whatever, and among them, have positive energy." "Maybe I do not know what I want, but I can have a friendlier life. Become aware that we can do it, but for that we must know what we want to do with our life. " "If I think about my own life, when I was 20 years old I had a lot of physical energy, but emotional energy failed me, I was more vulnerable."

Giulliana Loza, Keiko Fujimori's lawyer, asked Judge Elizabeth Arias, who replaces Richard Concepción Carhuancho in the Preparatory Investigation Court of the National Criminal Chamber, to refrain from the cocktails case. Through her Twitter account, the lawyer published a series of messages making her request. "Today I informed Keiko Fujimori that her judicial process has been referred to Justice Elizabeth Arias. I know his moral and professional solvency; However, my client and I have decided to immediately request his inhibition of this case, "he wrote in the social network. According to Loza, the decision to request her removal from the case is because her law firm sponsored her in a process that has already concluded and thereby avoid any questioning of this magistrate.

1. John Franklin and the ships 'Erebus' and 'Terror' Archaeologists continue to search the Canadian Arctic for the remains of the ships HMS Erebus (the flagship, 378 tons) and HMS Terror, under the command of British explorer Sir John Franklin, missing with all their crew (130 men) when they were looking for the Passage of the Northwest. The Franklin expedition was last seen in July 1845 west of Baffin Bay by the Whaling Enterprise. For decades, their search became an obsession for the British Admiralty: up to 25 expeditions set out in search of news. In 1854 they found, on the islands of Beechey and King William, corpses frozen in the permafrost of several members of the crew, along with various objects and notes, and skeletal remains that showed evidence of cannibalism. The series The Terror, produced by Ridley Scott and based on the novel by Dan Simmons, relives the polar tragedy and the mystery of Franklin's expedition mixing history and fiction. 2. Ernest Shackleton and the schooner 'Endurance' In the South Atlantic there is a lost archipelago that emerges from the sea as a mountainous link between the Andes and the Antarctic mountain ranges: the South Georgia Islands (United Kingdom). An inhospitable territory po[CENSORED]ted by large king penguin colonies dotted with abandoned whaling stations like Grytviken, where the Anglo-Irish explorer Ernest Shackleton is buried. Shackleton starred in one of the most exciting and supportive deeds of polar exploration: that of the schooner Endurance. The Endurance sailed on December 5, 1914 from the South Georgia Islands to Antarctica, a continent that Shackleton intended to cross on foot, but that year was especially cold and could not even reach the mainland. The Endurance (which means Resistance) was trapped for months in the frozen sea until the pressure of the large blocks of ice shattered it, forcing a group of 23 people to a hellish journey that would last for 22 months. The amazing thing is that they did it: in the end they were rescued without losing a single man.

Gears of War is a series of video games and comics of the survival horror and action-adventure genre, developed by Epic Games. The four games that currently make up the series take place on the fictional planet Sera and focus on a war between humans and creatures known as Locust. In Gears of War, the protagonist is Marcus Fenix, a soldier or "Gear" in the Coalition of Ordered Governments, leads his team on a mission to install the light mass bomb and destroy the Locust horde in their underground fortresses. The sequel Gears of War 2 takes place six months after the events of the first game, and follows the Delta Squadron and the CGO Army, which launches a direct assault against the ravine in an effort to end the war. The third installment, Gears of War 3, is about Marcus and company looking for Adam Fenix to end the current story arc, this is the most worked game of the whole saga. On March 19, 2013 Gears of War: Judgment was released, this being a prequel to the main saga. Unlike the original trilogy, the main character is Damon Baird along with Augustus Cole. The game introduces important news in both the campaign and multiplayer modes. Gears of War takes place on a fictional planet called Sera, which has a history of conflicts that brought it to the brink of destruction. After a crisis in global energy demand, humans discovered the Imulsion underground. This radioactive liquid became a key source of energy once scientists discovered how to use it. The control of the Imulsion led to a war of 79 years, until the Coalition of Ordered Governments (COG) was formed to end the war and establish peace. Soon after, humans were attacked by the Locust, a race of beings that lived underground. Much of humanity was annihilated during the first attack of the Horde Locust, also known as "Emergency Day". At that time the COG took the command and took the necessary steps to ensure the survival of the human race, establishing martial law and fighting against the Locust. Most of the survivors took refuge in a city called Jacinto located on a plateau of hard rock that the Horde could not drill. At that time, the COG used the "scorched earth" tactic, which consisted of firing orbital laser beams on the surface of the planet before the Locust captured their main cities. The COG forces and the Horde Locust remained at war, each one longing for the complete destruction of the other.
