A mountaineer who happened to stumble upon a box of emeralds, rubies and sapphires that had been buried for decades on Mont Blanc in France, received half the treasure as a reward. The mountaineer, who has not been named, discovered the gems in 2013. The box is believed to have belonged to someone aboard an Air India plane that crashed into the bush 50 years ago. The climber was praised after handing the box over to the police, as sti[CENSORED]ted by the law in France. But now he has been rewarded with half the treasure of hundreds of precious stones, while the local authority in Chamonix, in the French Alps, took the other half, after it was not possible to locate the family of whom it was in India. the owner of them. The gemstones have been divided into two equal parts worth US $ 170,000, Chamonix Mayor Eric Fournier told the AFP news agency. The mayor praised the mountaineer for his "integrity" in turning over his find to the police. Two planes of the Air India airline crashed into Mont Blanc, the first in 1950, and as a result 48 people died. In 1966, a second flight of the Indian national airline crashed into the mountain with 117 people on board. Authorities believe the gemstones may have come from the 1966 flight from Bombay to New York when it crashed. No human remains have ever been found on the mountain, nor the luggage of those who were on board. In 2012, a diplomatic bag from India was found containing newspapers, agendas and a personal letter dated 1966. LINK: https://www.bbc.com/mundo/noticias-59548912

Left-wing news website Vox published an article this week that claimed it was time to stop demonizing "invasive" species, arguing that the ongoing use of the term divided life on Earth, including people, between native and non-native. In the Sunday piece, freelance journalist Marina Bolotnikova blamed climate change for the forced migration of certain species, criticized measures taken by some governments to terminate those species, likened their treatment to the experiences of immigrants and suggested the term "invasive" wasn't appropriate to describe the migrating groups. "Ecologists expect climate change to create mass alterations in the habitats of these 'range-shifting' or 'climate-tracking' species, as they're sometimes called, which will reshuffle ecosystems in ways that are hard to predict. The migrations are critical to species' ability to survive hotter temperatures, "Bolotnikova wrote, citing instances of dark unicorn snails migrating from Mexico to California as an example. Bolotnikova said that the scientific community largely viewed that sort of habitat shift as a "good thing," but that governments and the general public were "less forgiving." "'Invasive species' is a concept so ingrained in American consciousness that it’s taken on a life of its own, coloring the way we judge the health of ecosystems and neatly dividing life on Earth into native and invasive," she wrote. "For decades, invasion has been a defining paradigm in environmental policy, determining what gets done with limited conservation budgets. Species deemed invasive have often been killed in gross ways," she added. "Even though invasion biologists readily point out that many non-native species never become problematic, the invasion concept almost by definition makes scientists skeptical of species moving around." Bolotnikova claimed that a growing number of scientists and environmental philosophers were starting to question if a concept "defined by a species' geographic origin" could actually capture the "ethical and ecological complexities of life on a rapidly changing planet." She argued that it was "crucial" to get right how to handle continued disruption of ecosystems in the 21st century, something she said would become more true as climate change and habitat loss accelerated. She then detailed arguments by some scientists that species referred to as "range-shifters" shouldn't be referred to as "invasive," but rather as "the refugees of climate change that need our assistance."

The Ford Maverick Hybrid pickup may be the most appropriate vehicle you'll find in any automaker's lineup today. The brand is all-in on trucks and SUVs and going big on electrification, so it makes perfect sense that its new entry-level model would combine those things. At a starting price of $ 21,490, the Mexican-made Maverick isn’t just the lowest-priced Ford, but also the lowest-priced pickup and lowest-priced hybrid currently on sale. So think of it as a three-for-one deal. Unlike the body-on-frame Ranger and F-150, it's built on a version of the same unibody platform as Ford's Bronco Sport and Escape compact SUVs and has a front-wheel-drive, 191 hp four-cylinder hybrid powertrain that's good for 37 miles per gallon of combined city and highway driving. That’s by far the best of any vehicle equipped with a bed. The bed is only 4.5-feet long, but its wide enough to fit a standard-size pallet between the wheel wells and a 4-foot-wide sheet of plywood on top of them with the tailgate down. The payload capacity for the vehicle is 1,500 pounds, but that should cover a lot of mulch, even if you bring a couple of friends with you to the garden store. They shouldn't mind the trip. The cabin is easy to step into thanks to a ride height more like a crossover’s than a truck’s and is at least as roomy and accommodating as midsize Ranger’s. Reflecting the bargain-basement price point, the interior is almost entirely trimmed in hard plastics, but with a design and detailing that makes it look functional and fun. There are floating door handles with exposed screws, tall bottle holders in the door pockets, odds and ends bins in the center console and a storage compartment under the flip-up rear seat that's deep enough for a basketball. The dashboard has plenty of work or ski glove-friendly knobs for primary functions and there’s an 8-inch touchscreen infotainment system with wired Apple CarPlay and Android Auto integration. Maverick XL and XLT trims have a 4.2-inch digital display in the instrument cluster, while the top of the line Lariat gets a 6.2-inch version between analog gauges.

Dylan Smith, who goes by the handle @ohana_trender on TikTok, posted a video last week showing how to make the drink. He shot the video after a comment on a previous video wrote, "If you find the secret formula to the green tea please fill a sister in." In the clip, Smith takes a cup, fills it with ice and then fills it with the green tea. After filling the cup, the TikTok video cuts to a large container of "Passion Fruit Papaya Green Tea" concentrate from The Republic of Tea. The container even shows how to prepare the concentrate into tea, which just involves combining one jug of concentrate with five jugs of water. Since Smith posted it on Nov. 22, the video has been viewed more than 1.1 million times. Many of the commenters on Smith’s video asked him to show them recipes and secrets behind other menu items such as the iced chai latte, iced shortbread cookies, souffles and broccoli cheddar soup. "Someone tell me where I can buy this," one person wrote. Another person said: "Commenting to see if anyone can find this concentrate or something similar bc I love this drink too." Smith, who has been working at Panera for a year and a half, told Fox News in a message that Panera’s green tea is "immensely po[CENSORED]r," and easy to make, which is why he decided to show the formula on his TikTok page. Smith has been posting behind-the-scenes videos of his experience of him at Panera on TikTok since June of this year. In August, he started revealing how certain menu items are made, including how Panera prepares its soups, which also went viral. Smith told Fox News that he decided to start showing those behind-the-scenes videos because "countless friends and family members" were asking him how to make their own version of Panera’s menu items.

Tensions between Russia and Ukraine are mounting and, with them, the concern of the West. US President Joe Biden has warned the country that he will not accept Moscow crossing the "red line" as fears mount that the Kremlin is planning an imminent invasion of Ukraine. For weeks, Russia began again to gather troops on the border with the neighboring country, with whom it has been fighting since the invasion of Crimea in 2014. This week intelligence sources leaked to the US press reports that there are fears that Russia is planning a multi-front offensive early next year involving up to 175,000 troops. Officials have also reportedly seen an increase in propaganda efforts by using proxies and the media to denigrate Ukraine and NATO ahead of a possible invasion. The US president said he will make it "very, very difficult" for Russia to invade its neighbor. "What I'm doing is putting together what I think is the most comprehensive and meaningful set of initiatives to make it very, very difficult for Putin to go ahead and do what people are concerned about him doing," Biden said. This Saturday, it was reported that the president will hold a videoconference next Tuesday with Putin to discuss the Russian escalation on the border with Ukraine. On Thursday, US Secretary Anthony Blinken met with Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov also to discuss the issue and threatened to impose new sanctions on the Kremlin. What russia says The Russian government has questioned the invasion reports as "hysteria" from the West and has justified the troop movement over recent NATO military exercises in the Black Sea. In an appearance on state television in November, Putin said Moscow was concerned about unannounced drills involving a "powerful naval group" and aircraft carrying strategic nuclear weapons. In his view, this represented a "serious challenge" for Russia. What Ukraine says The Ukrainian government initially denied the reports of the Russian deployment, until finally the advance of the troops became undeniable and put its army on alert. Since taking power, Ukraine's President Volodymyr Zelensky has made several moves against the Kremlin's interests in Ukraine, imposing sanctions on a powerful friend of the Russian president and banning the broadcasts of three pro-Russian television stations. He has also stepped up efforts to get Ukraine accepted as a NATO member, which Russia fervently opposes. LINK: https://www.bbc.com/mundo/noticias-internacional-59527875

That morning, the Japanese imperial forces advanced under the cover of darkness and began a series of air strikes that caught the Western powers by surprise, starting World War II in the Pacific. By then, the sun had not yet risen in Hawaii and the bombing of Pearl Harbor was still over an hour away. And it is that although traditionally reference is made to the aggression against that US naval base, located in Honolulu, as the starting point of the War of the Pacific, that December 7, 1941 the Imperial Japanese Navy launched a series of coordinated and parallel attacks to the of Pearl Harbor that lasted for about seven hours against territories controlled by the United States and the United Kingdom in Southeast Asia. In a sweeping campaign, Japan defeated US forces on Guam and the Wake Islands; as well as in the Philippines and did the same with the troops of the United Kingdom in Hong Kong and in what was then called British Malaysia. "The Japanese victories were very, very fast; and when they entrenched themselves, they made it very difficult for the allies to reconquer those areas," says Mark Roehrs, professor of history at Lincoln Land Community College (Illinois, USA) and co-author of the book "World War II in the Pacific: never look back", to BBC Mundo. The consequences of these Western defeats would be felt even after the end of World War II and would indelibly affect geopolitics in Southeast Asia. But what was Japan looking for with the conquest of these territories? Clearing the way for war Japan was not at war with either the United States or the United Kingdom when it attacked these territories in Asia. However, since 1937 it was immersed in a regional war with China that was generating friction with the West. "The main reason why Japan was expanding in the Pacific is because their own territory is not very rich in natural resources, so they were looking to get colonial possessions that would provide them with the resources they lacked. They were looking for things like rubber , rice, tin and bauxite, resources that they would find in the islands of the center and the south of the Pacific ", says Roehrs. Of all raw materials, the one most required by Japan was oil. "Oil was the really crucial issue, because the Japanese had nothing and if they were going to fight a war they had to have a secure source of oil," says Raymond Callahan, Professor Emeritus of History at the University of Delaware, to the BBC. World. He points out that, paradoxically, the territories that simultaneously attacked Pearl Harbor were not particularly rich in those resources. "The oil fields they were targeting were not actually in the Philippines or British Malaysia. They were in the Dutch East Indies, now Indonesia. And they knew they had to eliminate US forces from the Philippines and British troops in British Malaysia and Singapore, because those forces were on the sides of the Japanese route to the south, towards the Dutch East Indies, "he says. Once most of the European powers had transferred their local forces to the Old Continent to deal with the war raging there, the greatest obstacle facing the Japanese in the Pacific was the US military presence. "The reason Japan attacked the United States was to try to neutralize its fleet, the only force that remained intact and that posed a real threat to Japan's advances into the South and Southwest Pacific," says Roehrs.

Magdalena Andersson's rise to power has been nothing short of a political soap opera, and the season finale may still be yet to come. In just one week, the Swedish Parliament elected her as the country's first woman to become prime minister, saw her resign seven hours later amid political turmoil, and instructed her to return to office after a second vote. Why it all unfolded and what could happen next has highlighted the complexities posed by an eight-party coalition in a divided nation. Why did Sweden need a new head of government? It all started with the retirement of Stefan Lofven, who had led a social democratic-green coalition government since 2014. The first vote to choose his successor or successor was last Wednesday. Magdalena Andersson had already replaced him as leader of the Swedish Social Democratic Party at her conference in early November. But to replace him at the head of the government he needed the approval of Parliament. With the green light from it, she became the first female Prime Minister of Sweden, a historic event that happened exactly 100 years after women won the right to vote in the country. What happened in that first vote? Under Sweden's political system, Andersson did not need the favorable vote of the majority of MPs, but rather to prevent the majority from voting against. However, in such a fragmented Parliament, he saw that it would be a difficult decision. The governing coalition led by the Social Democrats is weak and depends on the support of other formations. The vote took place after 11 hours of negotiation with the Left Party and previous talks with the Center Party, a center-right party. Both agreed to abstain and Sweden thus became the last Nordic country to elect a woman as prime minister. But that did not commit Parliament to supporting her in a crucial budget vote later that afternoon. Instead, the Center Party helped pass an alternative proposal from three right-wing parties, including Sweden's Democrats, a formation with a strong anti-immigrant discourse. Faced with this, the Green Party resigned from the coalition government, arguing that it did not want to participate in a budget negotiated by the nationalists. At the same time, Andersson asked to resign from her as prime minister, claiming that she did not want to lead a government "whose legitimacy will be questioned."

When tourists reach the north Canadian community of Churchill they have long been greeted by two sounds: the howling of sub-Arctic winds and the rattle of diesel engines. Over the years, hundreds of thousands of visitors have come to the “polar bear capital of the world”, in the hopes of spotting the predators. They journey on “tundra buggies” - hulking, spacecraft-like vehicles that rumble over the stark landscape. Now, one of the town’s tour companies has unveiled the region’s first-ever electric buggy - a vehicle that can move almost silently into areas where the polar bears congregate. The buggy has an estimated range of three days worth of tours and can operate in frigid temperatures. Frontiers North Adventures, which provided transport to the Guardian and other media outlets to view the vehicle in Churchill, plans to convert the remainder of its fleet over to electric motors, reducing more than 3,600 tonnes of carbon dioxide emissions over the next 25 years - the equivalent of 353,635 liters of diesel fuel. The company pitched it as part of a move to address the climate crisis, which experts have long said will have an outsized impact on polar bears. Advertisement The company’s maiden voyage for its electric vehicle came as the area remained ice free for the first time in years - a scenario that may prove deadly for the bears. A handful of kilometers from where the vehicles parked, the dark waters of Hudson Bay lashed at the shore - a rarity for late November and a warning sign for 800 or so polar bears in the region waiting to begin their hunt on sea ice for ringed seals . In recent years, that wait has grown longer and longer. While the timing of the ice formation varies from year to year, experts say the trend over recent decades is cause for concern.

The 2022 Acura TLX doesn't have the premium pedigree enjoyed by sport sedans from Audi, BMW, and Mercedes-Benz. Where the Acura does have an edge is its exciting driving persona combined with its strong value proposition. Aside from the undisputed champ of luxury-class value — the Genesis G70 — the TLX undercuts its German competition where American greenbacks are involved. Speaking of involved, that's how drivers feel behind the wheel where its sophisticated chassis tuning is revealed. Even those TLX models with the standard 272-hp turbo-four have the skills to impress. Add Acura's torque-vectoring all-wheel-drive system (SH-AWD) into the mix for maximum effect. While the 2022 TLX isn't quite as luxurious or magical to drive as the segment's best, and its back seat is smaller than its size suggests, the 355-hp Type S proves that Acura still makes cars that can raise your pulse. What's New for 2022? One year after Acura introduced a new generation of the TLX, the automaker doesn't make any significant changes to the 2022 lineup. However, fans of the brand's Integra nameplate will be pleased to learn that it's being revived for the 2023 model year. The 355-hp Type S occupies the top spot in the TLX lineup in both performance and price. While it's the former trait that makes it our favorite, its price only adds to its attractiveness, especially compared with the Audi S4 and BMW M340i. The all-wheel-drive Bimmer is nearly $ 4000 more expensive, and the S4 starts about $ 1000 the Type S, but its bottom line balloons to over $ 56k when fully equipped. The Type S is less expensive and comes standard with luxuries such as adaptive dampers, leather upholstery, and an ELS premium audio system. We'd also opt for the $ 800 Performance package that brings unique 20-inch wheels on summer tires for maximum cornering grip and stopping power. LINK: https://www.caranddriver.com/acura/tlx
