  1. The Allegheny woodrat (Neotoma magister) is a species of "pack rat" from North America. It is the second-largest member of the native North American rats and was once believed to be a subspecies of the Eastern woodrat (Neotoma floridana).The Allegheny woodrat is a medium-sized rodent with long whiskers. About 50 whiskers are found on each side, consisting of a mixture of stiff black hairs and softer white ones. The fur is long, soft, and brownish-gray or cinnamon in color, while the undersides and feet are white. They have large eyes and naked ears. Their most distinguishing feature is their tails: while the tails of European rats are naked with only slightly visible hairs, the tails of woodrats are completely furred with hairs about one-third of an inch long, and predominantly black above and white beneath. https://animalia.bio/
  2. From price changes to production pauses, domestic and foreign automakers are all reacting differently to the Trump administration's sweeping 25 percent tariffs on vehicles imported to the United States, which have now taken effect. Tariffs on imported car parts, such as engines and transmissions, won't start until May 5. Trump's wide-ranging "reciprocal" tariffs also won't apply to the auto industry, meaning they won't be tacked onto the 25 percent tax. How automakers respond to the tariffs is expected to evolve over the coming days and weeks, but we've compiled a list of what we know so far. We'll monitor the situation and update the list below as new information is reported and released. Last updated 6:00 p.m. EDT on April 4, 2025. Audi Last updated April 4, 2025. Audi is holding all models imported to the U.S. after April 2 at the ports, according to a report by Automotive News. Meanwhile, Audi models imported before April 3 will still make it to dealer lots, with AN also reporting that the automaker is identifying non-tariffed models with "No Added Import Fee" and a $0 option code on their invoices. Car and Driver has reached out to Audi for comment, and while they didn't address the above reports, a spokesperson shared an official statement from Audi's parent company, VW Group. Here's an abridged version: "The Volkswagen Group–and therefore also AUDI AG—has taken note of U.S. President Trump's decision to impose tariffs of 25 percent on all imports of passenger cars and light commercial vehicles into the United States. . . . We are closely monitoring developments and will comprehensively assess internally the potential impact on supply chains and our production network. . . . We share the assessment of most experts that U.S. tariffs and any counter-tariffs will have negative consequences for growth and prosperity in the U.S. and other economic areas. . . . At the same time, we continue to advocate constructive talks between the trading partners in order to ensure planning security and economic stability and to avoid a trade conflict." BMW Last updated April 3, 2025. BMW confirmed it will cover tariff costs for cars built in Mexico, but only through May 1. Those tariffs apply to the 3-series sedan, 2-series coupe, and M2 models, which are built at BMW's factory in San Luis Potosí, Mexico. https://www.caranddriver.com/news/a64375899/automakers-trump-tariff-response/
  3. Manchester United and Manchester City played out an uninspiring goalless draw that underlined the need for change at both clubs this summer. City did threaten twice at Old Trafford through Omar Marmoush but the Egypt forward could not beat United goalkeeper Andre Onana on either occasion. United created a succession of half-chances. But once Alejandro Garnacho had been sent sprawling by Ruben Dias on the edge of the City box in the opening seconds, a familiar story unfolded. As on so many occasions this season, Ruben Amorim's side did not seem as though they believed they could score. The nearest they came was 13 minutes from time when substitute Joshua Zirkzee turned a Patrick Dorgu cross goalwards but Ederson was able to push the Dutchman's effort to safety. A draw keeps United anchored in the middle of the lower half of the table but City are now sweating on a Champions League spot, remaining in fifth - which would almost certainly be enough - but with Newcastle two points behind them with two games in hand. Arguably the most inspiring moment of the whole afternoon came before kick-off when United captain Bruno Fernandes accompanied seven-year-old mascot Bobby Moore from Belfast on to the pitch. The Portugal international invited Moore to Old Trafford after seeing a video of the youngster celebrating his goal in a previous Manchester derby. In the process Moore became United's first-ever wheelchair/powerchair-using mascot. https://www.bbc.com/sport/football/live/c2dep9ejpykt
  4. Val Kilmer, who has died at the age of 65, was often underrated as an actor. He had extraordinary range: excelling in comedies, westerns, crime dramas, musical biopics and action-adventures films alike. And perhaps his best performance combined his skills as a stage actor with a fine singing voice, to bring to life 1960s-counterculture icon Jim Morrison, in Oliver Stone's film The Doors. Critic Roger Ebert wrote: "If there is an award for the most unsung leading man of his generation, Val Kilmer should get it. "In movies as different as Real Genius, Top Gun, Top Secret!, he has shown a range of characters so convincing that it's likely most people, even now, don't realise they were looking at the same actor." Val Edward Kilmer was born, on 31 December 1959, into a middle-class family in Los Angeles. His parents were Christian Scientists, a movement to which Kilmer would adhere for the rest of his life. He attended Chatsworth High School, in the San Fernando Valley, where future actor Kevin Spacey was among his classmates and where he developed a love of drama. Kilmer's ambition was to study at the Royal Academy of Dramatic Art (Rada), in London, but his application was rejected because, at 17, he was a year below the minimum entry age. Instead, Kilmer became the then youngest pupil to enrol at the Julliard School, in New York, one of the world's most prestigious drama conservatories. https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/c4n7xy3ew8mo
  5. France's far-right National Rally (RN) leader Marine Le Pen has called a court ruling banning her from running for office for five years a "witch hunt". "I won't give up," she told thousands of flag-waving supporters in Place Vauban, close to the Eiffel Tower in Paris on Sunday. She was on Monday found guilty of helping to embezzle €2.9m (£2.5m) of EU funds between 2004 and 2016 for use by her party. Le Pen has appealed. At the rally on Sunday she claimed the ruling was a "political decision", adding: "We are not asking to be above the law, but to not be below the law." Bardella, the president of the RN party, told the rally on Sunday that the court ruling was "a direct attack on democracy and a wound to millions of patriotic French people". He said he did not want to "discredit all judges" but claimed that the judgement against Le Pen was aimed at "eliminating her from the presidential race" in 2027. In reply on Sunday Gabriel Attal, the head of French President Emmanuel Macron's centrist Renaissance party, responded by saying "you steal, you pay". Attal also denounced "unprecedented interference" in France's affairs, pointing to support for Le Pen from several right-wing leaders, including Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni and Hungary's PM Viktor Orban. US President Donald Trump called her conviction a "very big deal". A poll by BFMTV after Monday's ruling showed that many people in France believe that justice was service in the Le Pen case without bias - 57% according to the poll. The Paris Court of Appeal said on Tuesday it should be able to provide a decision on the case by the summer of 2026 - several months before the 2027 presidential election. Le Pen was gearing up to run for the presidency for a fourth time and had a good chance of winning. On top of the ban on running for public office, Le Pen was also handed a €100,000 (£82,635) fine and four-year prison sentence, of which two years will be suspended. This will not apply until the appeals process is exhausted, which could take several years. RN spokesperson Laurent Jacobelli said that although the party would fight to have Le Pen as candidate, its 29-year-old president, Bardella, was "the most naturally legitimate" alternative. Bardella has steered clear of being drawn into the discussion at this stage, refusing to say whether he was National Rally's "plan B" and saying after the ruling that the French should be "outraged" by the sentence. However, a poll published a day before Le Pen was sentenced showed that around 60% of RN voters would back Bardella over Le Pen at the presidential election if he were to run. France's President Macron is not entitled to stand for another term at the next presidential election. https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/c8dg90l7ymlo
  6. Songs of Conquest's mobile port is exactly what the doctor ordered. The doctor, that is, of the long-overdue hardcore-strategy mobile renaissance. It feels like after half a decade of premium games on mobile declining - not least in part due to efforts to try to save the spirit of early 'mobile premium' options - we’ve reached a point where games that people struggle to put down are finally being considered for mobile on a regular basis. It's ironic, as mobile is arguably the one form that everybody has access to almost 100% of the time. Songs of Conquest, for those who have completely slept on it since it was first announced, is a spiritual sequel to the incredibly po[CENSORED]r Heroes of Might & Magic series. However, this isn't simply picking up where the old series left off - at the time of its Early Access launch, HOMM had basically been dormant for seven years. No, Songs of Conquest is exciting and feels like the start of something. Certainly, it has tactical combat and a degree of army construction. Certainly, you'll build up that army through base development and point control. And, certainly, its moody Euro-fantasy feels a little familiar. However, everything feels juicy, dynamic and, dare I say it, cinematic. Perfectly Polished Port I'll get to the meat and bones of it all in a minute, but what makes it sing is the fine garments and decorations that it wears, rather than the structure it's built on. Every tile, interaction point and (contrasting in artwork) pixelated unit feels vastly more detailed (and in the case of units, animated) than they need to be. When you interact with points on the map or fell the final enemy in combat, camera control is wrestled from your grasp and the camera pulls in to highlight exactly what's going on. It's polish, Craftsmanship, attention to detail and polish. And, hey, the music's pretty great too. https://www.pocketgamer.com/songs-of-conquest/review/

  16. Google es consciente de que quedarse rezagado en el campo de la inteligencia artificial puede tener consecuencias catastróficas a medio plazo. Por ello, ha estado trabajando en mejorar su motor de búsqueda con tecnología de IA. Como resultado, tenemos el AI Mode. Esta función ha sido diseñada para profundar en las búsquedas de Google con la ayuda del modelo de lenguaje Gemini. A través del AI Mode, Google sabe que puede enfrentarse directamente con plataformas tan potentes como ChatGPT y Perplexity. Estas dos opciones han revolucionado la forma en que interactuamos con internet gracias a su potencia y a su capacidad de búsqueda de información en tiempo real, respectivamente. Pero, ¿qué supone exactamente la llegada de AI Mode?, vamos a verlo. Qué es el AI Mode de Google El AI Mode es una función desarrollada por Google que consiste, básicamente, en utilizar su modelo de lenguaje Gemini para mejorar la comprensión de la IA y la generación de resultados en nuestras búsquedas. Esto permite a los usuarios obtener resultados muchos más certeros con respecto al buscador tradicional de Google. Utiliza el modelo de lenguaje Gemini como base. Lo que permite a Google aprender, procesar y generar texto de manera más optimizada. Ello conlleva que el AI Mode proporcione respuestas más detalladas, con información más completa y contextualizada. Además, gracias a su naturaleza de chatbot, nos permite una interacción conversacional con ella, lo que refina aún más la el potencial de AI Mode. Es cierto que, en nuestra opinión, aún está en una fase muy temprana de su desarrollo. Pero Google ha demostrado que está apostando fuerte por este nuevo sistema de búsquedas basado en IA, por lo que muy pronto mejorará, evolucionará, y marcará el camino hacia el futuro del buscador. Competencia con ChatGPT y Perplexity Como hemos dicho al principio, ambas plataformas de IA se han ganado a pulso una bien lograda fama gracias a su capacidad de generar respuestas coherentes y bien informadas. La primera se centra en una perfecta integración de texto que mantiene el nivel en nuestras conversaciones. La segunda es genial para obtener información de fuentes contrastadas. Pero, ¿qué podemos decir de AI Mode con respecto a ellas? Encontramos ciertas ventajas al respecto sobre ambas: La integración con el motor de búsqueda de AI Mode aprovecha las capacidades del buscador de Google. Con ello, es capaz de indexar y analizar y analizar titánicas cantidades de datos en tiempo real. Como puedes intuir, el hecho de que la base de datos sea mayor, arrojará resultados más completos. El acceso a información actualizada es una característica de la que dispone Perplexity, pero que ahora AI Mode también utilizará. En este aspecto, puede proporcionar resultados recientes, contrastados y relevantes gracias a su integración total con la base de datos de Google. Las noticias volarán en AI Mode. Google no olvida la privacidad y seguridad. La empresa ya posee políticas para ello bastante restrictivas. Ello favorece la interacción de los usuarios más reservados con la IA, al cerciorarse de que sus datos se encuentran a salvo. Como puedes ver, la nueva funcionalidad del buscador de Google no es un mero adorno. La IA va a estar presente en la búsqueda online, siempre que queramos activarla. La competencia en cualquier sector siempre es positiva para los servicios ofrecidos a los usuarios, y esta no será la excepción. https://www.softzone.es/noticias/metabits/ai-mode-google-chatgpt-perplexity/
