  1. The association Integridad por el Perú also denounced members of the Cabinet for the issuance of three emergency decrees that transferred items between ministries without going through the parliamentary process. A civil association filed a constitutional complaint against the Peruvian president, Pedro Castillo, and some members of his government, for making adjustments to the budget without the approval process that had to go through Congress. Integrity for Peru, defined on its website as a citizen movement that promotes "the development" of the country, denounced the issuance of three emergency decrees to make "unconstitutional" modifications to the budget of the Ministry of Economy and Finance, which contravenes the Articles 77, 80 and 118 of the Constitution. In addition to Castillo, the president of the Council of Ministers, Mirtha Vásquez, and her predecessor, Guido Bellido; as well as the Minister of Economy and Finance, Pedro Francke. Modifications The Emergency Decree 86-2021 authorized the incorporation of 2,900 million soles (about 725 million dollars) in favor of the Economy portfolio through a complementary loan, according to the association. Likewise, through Emergency Decree 100-2021, an additional 2,900 million soles (725 million dollars) were authorized to the Ministry of the Economy; and the transfer of 151.3 million soles (37.8 million dollars) from the budget of said portfolio was endorsed to the ministries of Agrarian Development and Irrigation and Health, as well as to various regional and local governments, to finance the execution of 44 investment works. In Emergency Decree 105-2021, the complainants accused that the transfer of 615.2 million soles (153.8 million dollars) from the budget of the Economy portfolio to the Ministry of Labor was authorized "to finance the payment of the bond extraordinary"; and the transfer of 52.5 million soles (13.1 million dollars) in favor of governments of different levels to pay another bonus to formal workers in the private sector. "The supplementary credits and the transfers of items are not made through emergency decrees, as the defendants have wrongly done," reads the complaint filed by the association with the Congressional Subcommittee on Constitutional Accusations. Admission process After the complaint presented by Integridad por Peru, the Congressional Subcommittee will analyze and assess whether the constitutional accusation is admitted, and subsequently issue a final report. "The qualification on the admissibility or origin of the complaints will be carried out within a maximum period of ten business days", as established by the Regulations of Congress.

  2. There were few of us who the other Sunday preferred to attend an outreach day in Viladrau about the wild cat instead of, what do I know, play paddle tennis or go looking for tickets. They, those who opted for other, much less interesting ways of using the day, missed it: it was exciting. The wild cat (Felis silvestris) or wild cat -the British wildcat-, which in Catalan we know as gat fer, is a small but stout and fierce little beast, solitary, surly and aggressive, wonderful, that lives quietly in our forests and together with the lynx, they are currently the only species of wild cats in Europe. It's a shame not to have tigers, lions or leopards (all of which we had in prehistoric times, when walks in the countryside were supposed to be much more exciting), but the positive side is that now there is nothing that can eat you and start a Sinister career as a man-eater from the Montseny in the style of the spotted devil of Gummalapur or the striped terror of the Chamala valley. The wild cat, of a bland nature, can give you a scare, essentially if you piss him off, corner him or is a female with young, and there have been very exceptional cases of attacks on humans (the death of a certain Percival is accredited Cresacre, although it was in York in 1477), but the truth is that meeting one of those elusive and extraordinary animals is something exciting and as rare and portentous as winning the lottery. So, with my usual enthusiasm for these things, I went to the Espai Montseny where the event El Gat Fer was held, el felí dels nostres boscos, which included a traveling exhibition on the bug, with attention to its presence in the Montseny area and Guilleries, and a didactic program consisting of an informative conference and a “family” outing to visit the wild cat habitat. The excursion seemed to imply the observation of an individual, something quite unlikely given that, as has been said, the wild cat, "ghost of our forests", is not seen by his aunt. I myself, for example, I go out a lot in the mountains, I move silently Comanche style, I disguise myself as a Russian sniper and I have had unusual experiences with the ciborium - once I was circled around, within arm's reach, a genet (gat mesquer) in what I interpreted as a courtship pattern - I have only seen a wild cat in Viladrau in fifty years. And it was pure churro: I was hidden one evening behind a tree observing in the fields of Can Batllic a badger that was eating the fallen fruits of a fig tree when a gat fer crossed my line of sight, moving with the overwhelming arrogance and at the same time the dissimulation of a Shere Khan in small. It was an unforgettable sight. Even more so because I carry the wild cat in my heart - and the image it seems of Kate from The Taming of the Shrew, where by the way Shakespeare compares the wild cat with the wayward girl. I have been doing it since I was 12 when I read The Wild Cat, by Allan W. Eckert (Molino, 1969), a beautiful novel starring a hybrid of a domestic cat and a bobcat, what they call a wildcat in North America, where our Felis does not exist. silvestris, and which is actually the bobcat (Linx Rufus). In the story, a beautiful story of nature, adventure and love for animals, the little mongrel is rescued and cared for by a boy, Toddy, who names him Yowler, howler (although he does not seem to have read Allen Ginsberg) , and that he escapes with the feline when his father wants to shoot him. The novel, in which the wild cat is lost and travels to the bayous of Louisiana, is very emotional and has clear influences from Huckelberry Finn and the Call of the Wild. Eckert, by the way, is the author of the famous Incident at Hawk’s Hill, a novel in which a child is cared for by a badger. The Espai Montseny de Viladrau is a dynamic and spectacular center on the outskirts of town that serves as a tourist information point for the Montseny Natural Park and which hosts exhibitions and other activities. It occupies an immense and absolutely unique building, the Park Hotel, with the absurd air of a southern mansion like Gone with the Wind, built in the fifties and which, abandoned by its owner, was never inaugurated. In Viladrau it has always been the case that the project of a large luxury hotel and casino failed as gambling was not authorized then, as expected, in Spain. For almost half a century the building deteriorated until it looked like a cursed Stephen King house (the Martens mansion or the Overlook Hotel) and teenagers used to sneak into it to hunt bats, tell each other horror stories or, bigger, replace the romantic fields of the Uncle Leopoldo on rainy days. Refurbished with funds from the European Union, it is now a cultural center devoted to nature. Anyway, there I was, in the Alicia de Larrocha room of the renovated old Park Hotel, named in honor of the pianist, with so many roots in Viladrau (married to Joan Torra and a vacationer in Can Torra since the 1950s). The photos of the artist on the walls contrasted with the theme of the wild cat, far removed from music other than that of Orpheus, who tamed the beasts. Ferran Sayol and Xavier Soler, who work on the Gat Fer project, devoted to animal research in Catalonia and especially to determining the state and distribution of its po[CENSORED]tions, were waiting for the public to arrive. When it was clear that no one else was coming, they began the session. There were five of us, including the two of them. Since the others were the director of the Monografies del Montseny -who asked them for an article- and a companion, we were like family. "Well, it's a very good day, it's normal that people prefer to do other things," the biologist Sayol started with great sportsmanship. news brought by https://elpais.com
  3. This system debuts on the SEMA360 via an all-electric 1977 Chevrolet Blazer K5. In the same way that it offers its range of engines in the customization projects of classic or modern vehicles, now General Motors through Chevrolet will commercialize an electrical system to make the transformation to zero emission of any model. Having created a couple of prototype systems for the eCOPO Camaro in 2018 and the E-10 in 2019, Chevrolet finally managed to develop a configurable kit, with great power and autonomy. Under the name of Electric Connect and Cruise System, this kit demonstrates its functionality in any type of car, and to show of this Chevrolet Performance transformed a 1977 Chevrolet Blazer into a fully electric vehicle. 1977 Chevrolet Blazer converted to electric car In the case of the Blazer-E K5 makeover, the makeover kit keeps as many of the original parts as possible and approximately 90 percent of the new parts installed for the eCrate package are factory Bolt EV components. To convert this Blazer into an electric vehicle, the team removed the original 175-hp V8, the three-speed automatic, as well as the fuel and exhaust system. Then the Bolt EV electric motor was installed, delivering the equivalent of 200 hp and 266 lb.-ft. of torque, and an electronically controlled four-speed automatic transmission. In the case of the remaining powertrain, it remains intact, including the transfer case, driveshaft, and axles. Another adaptation of this Blazer is the Bolt EV battery pack - 400 volts with 60 kWh - installed in the cargo area, the electric power steering, an electric pump that provides vacuum to the standard brake system and an electronic controller. to boost the inputs to the old Blazer gauges, this to display the battery charge status on the original fuel gauge. Chevrolet Electric Connect and Cruise Kit 60 kWh battery pack 200 hp electric motor DC to AC power inverter to drive the electric motor DC to DC power converter for powering low voltage systems Connectors, cables, controllers and water pumps to heat and cool the coil The 60 kWh Electric Connect and Cruise package is expected to be available in the second half of 2021. In the long term, the team will work to integrate the technologies of GM's Ultium modular battery system. News brought by http://noticias.autocosmos.com.ve/
  4. THE PASTA IS RICH IN FIBER, VITAMIN A, FOLIC ACID AND ZINC, BEING ONE OF THE MOST NUTRITIVE AND VERSATILE FOODS ON THE MARKET. Did you know that since 1995, World Pasta Day has been celebrated every October 25? This year, Divella Costa Rica wants to celebrate it in style, learning more about the various types of pasta, sharing some tips for its best preparation and dismantling some myths that we are used to hearing but are not necessarily true. MYTHS AND REALITIES Much is said about pasta and its preparation and we all have different ways of making it, but… Are we correct? Chef Fabián Alvarado de Alpiste helps us find out. Myth 1: Pasta cooking water must have oil so it doesn't stick. Reality: The correct thing is that it only contains salt, approximately 10 grams per 100 grams of pasta. Myth 2: Pasta should be in the pot when the water boils. Reality: The correct thing is that the water is already hot when the pasta enters the pot. Myth 3: The cooking water should only cover the pasta. Reality: For every 100 grams of pasta, you should use 1 liter of water. Myth 4: To confirm that the pasta is cooked to its point, we must throw it on the wall and see if it sticks. Reality: This is not correct, each type of pasta has an established cooking time, it must be checked in its respective packaging. Myth 5: When the pasta is ready, we must cool it with cold water. Fact: Pasta should not be cooled, only if it is left over and is to be used in a cold salad. Myth 6: All sauces go well with all types of pasta. Fact: No, there are recommended sauces for each type of pasta. Short pasta with white sauces and long with red sauces. ADVICE After knowing the reality of things, or in this case, of pasta, it is necessary then to summarize some tips so that now our pasta is absolutely perfect, as made in Italy: • The sauce must always be ready before the pasta, you must always wait for the pasta and not the other way around. • Heat one liter of water for every 100 gr in a saucepan. of our chosen pasta, the recommended measure per person. These proportions, which are normally indicated on the packaging, help the pasta not stick together. And always try to use a large casserole, the largest in the kitchen, if possible with high edges, since this way you can move the pasta well so that it does not stick. • For the pasta to be al dente we have to be very aware of the time indicated on the packaging, each type of pasta has a different cooking duration. • Correctly salt the cooking water of the pasta. • Use the most suitable sauce for each type of pasta. MORE THAN A CARBOHYDRATE Although it is one of the favorite and most versatile foods, pasta is often discredited for being a carbohydrate. However, despite being a caloric product and rich in carbohydrates, its fat content is minimal and it has many other benefits such as: • It has a large percentage of iron. • Contains vitamin A. • Folic acid. • Zinc. • It is a basic product of the Mediterranean diet and can be combined with a wide range of sauces, and accompanied by salads and meats. • The Mediterranean diet is considered the healthiest in the world. • It is a very versatile product to combine with vegetables. • It is a food very liked by children. • It will help balance the digestive process since fiber is part of its composition. • Its high energy value makes it an ideal food for people who perform high physical activity. Thanks to the cultural exchange of our country, pasta has become an essential dish in our gastronomy, with ingredients that give it a more Creole touch. It is consumed with achiote, tomato and pork in pieces. Other favorite dishes are noodle soup, fettuccine, snails (Tofe), gnocchi, noodles (Tagliatelle), calzone, focaccia, cannelloni and lasagne. “Around the year 1990, the free trade economy opened and there was a significant reduction in taxes on imported products, which made it possible to bring more premium, high-quality products to Costa Rica at a more accessible price. That opened a window of opportunity, along with the presence of many Italian restaurants that helped to publicize new pasta recipes. This has allowed the Divella brand to reach Costa Rican homes for more than 30 years ”, stated Pietro Poma, general manager of Alpiste Costa Rica. Many of these pastas would achieve such a strong cohesion that they are now an integral part of the casado, the most traditional dish in the country, and in the Caribbean bochinche. “We live in a country where Italian culture has contributed to us in all aspects of development as a multicultural country, and we thank the ethnic exchange and we see it reflected in our spoon by mixing the Creole flavor with the Italian essence, so much so that we do not we see a Costa Rica without tasting delicious pasta-based dishes ”, concludes Chef Alvarado.

  5. The incident occurred shortly after three in the afternoon (local time) this Thursday on the Pan-American highway, on a section that goes from Chiapa de Corzo to Tuxtla Gutiérrez. The overturning of a trailer carrying a hundred migrants in southwestern Mexico left 49 people dead and 58 injured, as confirmed by the Chiapas Civil Protection Secretariat. Preliminarily, Civil Protection detailed Thursday afternoon that 37 people were slightly injured; three are in serious condition; and 18 more are stable. The accident occurred shortly after three in the afternoon (local time) this Thursday on the Pan-American Highway, on a section that goes from Chiapa de Corzo to Tuxtla Gutiérrez. Emergency personnel came to the site to assist people injured by the fatal incident. The reports state that the trailer hit a retaining wall, subsequently crashed into a pedestrian bridge and that caused the body of the truck where more than 100 migrants were traveling to detach. The president of Mexico, Andrés Manuel López Obrador, deeply regretted "the tragedy caused by the overturning of a trailer in Chiapas that was transporting Central American migrants." "It is very painful. I embrace the families of the victims," added the president on his Twitter account. For his part, the Secretary of Foreign Relations (SRE), Marcelo Ebrard, reported on his Twitter account that they had established contact "with the Foreign Ministries of the affected countries", since the truck was transporting, for the most part, to migrants. The president of Guatemala, Alejandro Giammattei, also expressed his solidarity with the families of the victims. Although at the moment the nationality of the victims and injured people is unknown, Giammattei offered "all the necessary consular assistance, including repatriations." The governor of Chiapas, Rutilio Escandón, expressed his solidarity for the victims of the road accident in the state. "I have instructed to give prompt attention and assistance to the injured. Responsibilities will be determined according to the law," he wrote on his Twitter account. News brought by https://actualidad.rt.com/

  8. The commemorative act of the 43rd anniversary of the Constitution evidenced the confrontation and lack of understanding between the parties that prevent reaching a broad consensus. The request of the president of Congress, Meritxell Batet, to the political groups to preserve constitutional loyalty, to recognize the legitimacy of the other and not to prosecute politics fell on deaf ears given the reactions of the various formations. The PSOE applauded his words, which he considered directed to the PP and Vox –Santiago Abascal did not attend the tribute ceremony–, while in the ranks of the po[CENSORED]r they criticized that he did not address those who attack the Constitution, the independentists who were not in the celebration, or to the representatives of United We Can who consider the Magna Carta “an old suit”. Therefore, it is difficult to recover those great consensuses. So much so that it was even news that Pedro Sánchez and Pablo Casado greeted each other during the event. Due to the pandemic, Pedro Sánchez and his government attended the event, held on the steps of Congress, in the open air, except for the first and second vice-presidents, in Brussels, and the head of Universities; a dozen regional presidents, with the usual absences of the Catalan and Basque presidents –Pere Aragonès and Iñigo Urkullu–, to which were added those of the Andalusian Juanma Moreno and the Balearic Francina Armengol, with tributes in their territories. Yes, there were the newly elected president of the Constitutional Court, Pedro José González Trevijano, and Ombudsman, Ángel Gabilondo, in addition to the president of the Judiciary, Carlos Lesmes. The distance required by the pandemic further cools the celebration of the anniversary of the Magna Carta The act was limited to a speech by the president of Congress, Meritxell Batet, with a fiery defense of the role of the parties as they are "essential for pluralism", since they are the ones "in charge of transferring the plural debate to the institutions and articulating agreements ”. For this reason, Batet stressed that "whoever discusses compliance with the Constitution" is placed above it, something that cannot be allowed, because democracy "faces new risks", which lead "to exclusion". In this sense, she also warned of populism that in times of crisis offers "simple solutions" to complex problems. The president of Congress warned about the danger of delegitimization of political parties. She claimed "constitutional loyalty", which does not prevent criticism, but does "recognize the legitimacy of the other" and "avoid constitutional reproach", which too assiduously translates into taking politics to court. For Batet, "the judicialization of politics means politicizing justice." And while the president made these warnings, directed, interpreted by many, on the right, the president of the PP, Pablo Casado, vindicated the validity of the Constitution, "against the suicidal revisionism" of the Government partners. He made reference to some government decisions such as the pardons granted to the Catalan pro-independence activists, "condemned for hitting the Constitution", or "the homologation of the political arm of ETA as a priority partner of the Government." He also criticized "the worrying revisionism of the transition", questioning the Amnesty law. For this reason, he asked Pedro Sánchez to "deny his partners who even want to withdraw the title of King from Felipe VI." On his part, the Vox leader planted a tribute to the Constitution and wanted to lower the profile of the representation of his group. For Abascal, these types of acts are "an authentic mockery" and "a comic show", since they only represent what he called "the progressive consensus." News brought by https://www.lavanguardia.com/
  9. Two of the rescued species are in danger of extinction and another in a vulnerable state of conservation. The nature and animal park Terra Natura Benidorm has hosted 21 turtles in its facilities that had been seized by the Civil Guard in a supposedly illegal hatchery, located in Mallorca. Specifically, four Blanding's turtles (Emydoidea blandingii), nine Pearl River map turtles (Graptemys pearlensis) and eight common box turtles (Terrapene carolina) have been received. Of the three species delivered for their care to Terra Natura Benidorm, two are in danger of extinction according to the IUCN. These are Blanding's turtles and Pearl River map turtles, species that are included in Annex II and III of CITES (Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora). In the case of common box turtles, they are part of the CITES annex and are considered a vulnerable species by the IUCN. As soon as they arrived at the park, the team of veterinarians carried out a stool analysis and a physical examination of the turtles, where an examination of the mucous membranes, skin and shell, among other parts of the body, has been carried out. Initially, they have been installed in the quarantine zone in the nature complex to ensure that they are in good condition and acclimatized to their new environment. news brought by https://manhwas.net/
  10. The historic brand is sustained by one model and in a single market: Italy. And it still sells a good number of cars a year. The Lancia thing is worthy of a survival story. Founded in 1906 and owned by Fiat since 1969, the brand triumphed on the main circuits of the world rally and launched some of the most spectacular cars in memory, such as the Flaminia (1957), the Fulvia (1963), the Stratos ( 1973) and the Delta (1980). For many specialists, the Delta HF and its evolution, the Delta Integrale, are the best car in the history of the world rally championship, winner of 46 races in 64 participations, of four drivers and 6 manufacturers' titles between 1987 and 1992 . But the brand was losing global presence and falling in sales from the turn of the millennium onwards, to the point that during Sergio Marchionne's administration, FCA decided to make an inexplicable synergy with Chrysler, and that is how in 2011 they were launched for the market. European the Lancia Thema, Flavia and Voyager, which were nothing other than the Chrysler 300C, 200C and Town & Country, with a change of logo. How could it be otherwise, the project was a failure and Lancia fell sharply in sales, to the point that by 2016, FCA decided to remove Lancia from all European markets except Italy, which to date represented 90% of your sales. Not only that, but the last real Lancia model was the second-generation Ypsilon released in 2011, and it's the only one that remains alive. Today, Lancia only sells Ypsilon and only in Italy, and it does not badly: almost 35 thousand units in the first half. The Ypsilon, as is known, uses the same mechanical base of the Panda and competes in the segment of city cars. It is equipped with a 1.2-liter engine with 69 Hp and 77.4 Lb-feet, associated with a five-speed mechanical gearbox, but it is also offered with a natural gas engine that generates 80 Hp. The equipment is quite complete considering the segment: 5 ”screen with U-Connect system, climate control, cruise control, electric windows, rain and light sensors, multifunction steering wheel. It is offered in four color versions (black, gold, silver and blue), each one betting on a very fashion style in its interior aesthetics. And, the main thing, it is very cheap: from $ 14,000 with bonuses, less than Panda himself. The surprising thing is that Lancia is doing better than Alfa Romeo, which this year has fallen dramatically in its global sales, and in Europe alone it sold less than 30 thousand units in the same period in which Lancia sold 35 thousand. The clear thing is that there are no plans to revive Lancia, or launch new models. When the Ypsilon ride is over, it will end more than 100 years of automotive history.

  11. Medtronic plc, a world leader in medical technology, announced that the first colorectal procedures were performed with the Hugo Robotic Surgery System (RAS) at Hospital Pacifica Salud in Panama City, Panama. The colorectal cases included a left colectomy and cecectomy, as well as a cholecystectomy under the indication of general surgery, performed last week by doctors: Dr. Homero Rodríguez and Dr. Moises Cukier. “Being able to use the Hugo RAS System in general surgery provides me with a new minimally invasive treatment option for my patients, including those requiring hernia surgery, gallbladder removal, or colorectal resection,” said Dr. Rodríguez. In Latin America many patients lack access to minimally invasive treatment options. As a reference, of all the surgeries performed in the region today: ~ 70-75% are open procedures ~ 25% are minimally invasive surgery (MIS) procedures Less than 1% are done with the help of a robot Robot-assisted surgery offers the benefit of minimally invasive surgery, including fewer complications, shorter hospital stays, and faster return to normal activities; however, adoption has been stifled by historical costs and utilization barriers. Medtronic designed the Hugo RAS System to change that, so that more patients have access to the benefits of minimally invasive surgery. “As surgeons, we are in a constant search to take advantage of the most innovative technologies available to our patients, like Hugo. I am confident that robotic assisted surgery systems will continue to grow as a key ally of the surgeon in the operating room, ”said Dr. Cukier. Pacifica Salud made history earlier this year when it became one of the first hospitals in the world to use the Hugo RAS system and the first in the world to use it in a gynecological procedure. "At Pacifica Salud, we are proud to continue to be at the forefront of the development of this new era of medical technology," said Mr. Rafael Cohen, Executive Director of Pacifica Salud. "That's possible thanks to Hugo, our partnership with Medtronic, and our talented team at Pacifica Salud." "Medtronic Panama is proud to be a key player in the development of robotic surgery around the world," said Ana Claudia Álvarez, Medtronic Country Leader in Panama. “We are aware of the crucial role we play for Latin America in the process of adopting medical technology, and we are grateful to have strong healthcare partners, such as Pacifica Salud, who share our bold vision for the future and our strong commitment to the patients. " A modular multi-quadrant platform designed for a wide range of surgical procedures, the Hugo RAS system combines wrist instruments, 3D visualization, and a cloud-based surgical video capture option in Touch Surgery ™ Enterprise with dedicated support teams that specialize in optimizing robotics, service and training programs. The Hugo RAS system is commercially available in select geographies. The regulatory requirements of each country and region will determine the approval, authorization or availability in the market. In the EU, the Hugo RAS system is CE marked. In the US, the Hugo RAS system is an investigative device that is not for sale. Touch Surgery Enterprise is not intended to direct surgery or to aid in the diagnosis or treatment of a disease or condition. News brought by https://www.vidayexito.net/
  12. Images from the security cameras of a hotel showed that the two infected individuals never left their rooms during the quarantine period. Researchers from the University of Hong Kong (China) recently published in the journal Emerging Infectious Diseases a preliminary study in which they claim to have detected a possible transmission of the variant of covid-19 omicron between two fully vaccinated people who were staying in rooms separated by a corridor in a quarantine hotel in that city. According to the scientists, the patients were two men vaccinated with two doses of Pfizer. One of them arrived in Hong Kong from South Africa on November 11, while the other arrived from Canada a day earlier. Both had tested negative for covid-19 within 72 hours before their arrival in Hong Kong. "Both patients stayed in the same quarantine hotel and had rooms on the same floor," the researchers explain, stressing that the rooms were separated by a corridor. Images from the hotel's security cameras showed that the two infected individuals never left their rooms during the quarantine period. "No items were shared between the rooms and other people did not enter any of the rooms," the study noted. In fact, the only time the men opened the doors was to collect the food that was placed in front of them by the hotel staff. "Airborne transmission through the corridor is the most likely mode of transmission," the researchers wrote, adding that such spread could suggest that omicron is more infectious than previous variants of the virus. David Edwards, a scientist at Harvard University (USA) told the Insider medium that it is possible that the virus exhaled by the traveler from South Africa (who tested positive for the omicron variant on November 13) has slipped through under the doors and you've reached the room across the hall. The other man developed "mild symptoms" on November 17 and tested positive the next day. Blame for drafts and poor ventilation? "If the hotel had air conditioning and, in particular, low relative humidity, the exhaled droplets from the South African may have been even smaller [than a thousandth of a millimeter], and the passage under the doors and corridors is easily plausible. "Edwards explained, adding that imperfect ventilation in the hallway or even a draft caused by open windows in rooms could have increased the likelihood of viral spread from room to room. The omicron strain was first detected in late November in South Africa and has since spread to more than 40 countries, setting off alarms around the world and promoting the preventive closure of borders.

  13. Support for the democratic regime falls seven points and up to 13 among young people Institutional act for Constitution Day, in streaming The Constitution has become a totem as well-worn as it is untouchable. Those who most appeal to the Magna Carta are those who show the least interest in updating it. And that the constitutional text has completed more than 40 years without a single retouch that rejuvenates it. However, the complex reform procedure and the irreconcilable antagonisms beating in Spanish society make any project of change an impossible task. Meanwhile, citizen support for the democratic regime loses strength in a context of the rise of populist offers such as Vox. THE HEALTH OF DEMOCRACY, BY YEARS Of course, it is not easy to pin down the impact of constitutional sclerosis on declining support for democracy. In the last two years, the world has experienced the anguish of a pandemic and its effects on the economy and well-being, and this situation has undoubtedly contributed to accentuate pessimism and skepticism towards institutions; especially among young people with poorer future expectations. But it is also true that since the Spanish Constitution was approved, the main countries of the European Union have introduced numerous - and sometimes profound - changes to their constituent texts.

  14. The Congress of Deputies definitively approved this Thursday the new regulations by which animals will no longer be considered "real estate or things" to recognize their nature as "sentient beings" or endowed with sensitivity. The plenary session gave the green light to the proposed Law of the PSOE and United We Can that provides for the modification of the Civil Code, the Mortgage Law and the Civil Procedure Law on the legal regime of animals so that they stop being treated as objects. The initiative was ratified with the support of all parties except Vox, which voted against, and the PP, which was won. The text includes the distribution of time and the burdens of pets in the event of family ruptures, whether they are marriages or common-law couples, and, if there is no agreement, it establishes that the final decision will be made by a judge. Vox: "A nonsense" The deputy of the socialist parliamentary group Sandra Guaita stressed that the text reflects "the fight against mistreatment and cruelty" in general, because "violence is related; those who are violent with animals are also violent with people" and we must defend "empathy and respect." From Vox, the deputy Ángel López Maraver accused the Government of "advancing in nonsense and folly for humanizing the animal and dehumanizing man", with a "dangerous legal review" that "opens the doors to animalism." The deputy of United Podemos Juan Antonio López de Uralde called this approach "troglodyte", assuring that it was "a good day for our country, where more than 200,000 pets are abandoned a year." In addition, he recalled that "40% of Spanish households have pets, some 16 million dogs and cats," so the rule represents a "moral victory" when it comes to legally resolving situations such as divorces or separations, deaths and liens. .

The Niro, born in 2016, has been KIA's mainstay in electrification matters and also one of the first models to take the hybrid car formula, adapting it to a crossover format. The task of the new Niro, according to the brand is "to make sustainable mobility accessible to all." "KIA continues to take steps towards a more sustainable future and invites everyone to join the movement for a new era in mobility," said Ho Sung Song, President and CEO of Kia. "The new Niro makes it easy to lead a sustainable lifestyle, thanks to its environmentally friendly materials, advanced technology and electric powertrains, while meeting the practical needs of customers." The HabaNiro as the main influence The new Niro has been developed under the company's "United Opposites" design philosophy, complying with the "Joy from Reason" principle. It is inspired by nature not only in the design, but also in the choice of colors, materials and finishes, seeking to reflect that sustainable spirit. Del HabaNiro was inspired by absolutely everything: The two-level headlights, where the first level is attached to a fine grille and the lower ones have a very intricate light signature The trapezoidal air intake at the bottom. The wheels: the same design, but with six openings in the HabaNiro and five in the Niro 2023 The molding that emerges from the front towards the doors, was reinterpreted in the Niro, with a less enveloping style in the front, but keeping the straight section that runs along the bottom of the doors. Most evident: the single-colored C-pillar, highlighted by fine vertical lights in a boomerang pattern, the clearest reference to the concept. It reminds us a bit of the new Toyota Aygo. This section has an aerodynamic treatment, which helps to minimize friction. Kia Niro 2023: interior The interior has been completely renovated, where everything looks elegant, modern, but not flashy either, using upholstery in neutral tones and minimalist concepts. The screens of the instrument panel and the multimedia system go together and accompany a suggestive drop in design towards the passenger side. The center console is easy to use and features a dial-type electronic control for the transmission. It is located on the wide, high-gloss black surface for a simple, modern look. Mood lighting helps deliver a cozy atmosphere The seats are designed to give a feeling of space, meaning they are smaller in certain key areas. That is if they have ecological upholstery, a coat rack and a lightweight structure so as not to add so much weight to the car. Ecology is key in the Niro and KIA has applied some particular concepts to make the proposal more coherent. The ceiling covering is made from recycled wallpaper The seats are made of Bio PU (bio-based polyurethane) with Tencel fibers from eucalyptus leaves. Non-BTX paint (made with a water base and does not contain benzene, toluene or xylene isomers) is used on the door panels to minimize impact on the environment and reduce waste.

  16. As we age, our body undergoes physical and metabolic changes, which predispose us to weight gain and loss of muscle mass. Dr. Stephen Anton, Research Expert in Metabolism and Longevity at the University of Florida, gave almost 200 health professionals from around the country the talk: "Relationship between ideal weight and healthy aging", with the aim of educating on the importance of maintaining a healthy body weight and thus opting for a better quality of life now and in old age. According to the specialist, from the age of 40, both men and women experience changes in body composition such as loss of muscle mass and increased accumulation of fat, especially in the abdominal area. This visceral fat has inflammatory effects throughout the body, increasing the risk of metabolic syndrome: high blood pressure, heart disease and type 2 diabetes. This state of inflammation is called low-level chronic inflammation and although it does not cause physical pain, it causes the secretion of inflammatory substances that can impact the brain, cognitive function and general health. “If obese and overweight people lose weight and regain it cyclically, their ratio of muscle mass to body fat will progressively deteriorate, to the detriment of their health. This low-muscle, high-fat body composition has a negative impact on the way they age, ”explained Dr. Anton. “Upon reaching the desired weight, most people gradually abandon changes to their diet and physical activity. It is estimated that, among people who lost 10% of their body weight, in 1 year they regained 2/3 of the weight they lost, and almost all of it in 5 years. This cycle of weight loss and regain can outweigh the benefits of weight loss, "added Dr. Anton. He also commented that as we age, the muscles, bones and joints undergo changes that cause discomfort, joint stiffness and reduction of physical activity, which favors weight gain. HOW TO MAINTAIN THE IDEAL WEIGHT FOR A LIFETIME? The expert's recommendation is to acquire a habit of exercising, for 200 to 300 minutes per week, and supplement with a balanced diet. "It has been proven that, in people who are overweight or obese, the loss of only 5% of body weight - which in some cases is only ten pounds - represents benefits such as lowering blood glucose levels and blood pressure" Anton stated. Ideally, people should combine cardio, resistance / weight training, and flexibility. In addition, add a healthy diet, in which good quality proteins predominate, avoid added sugars and over-processed foods. For people with sedentary lifestyles, the specialist recommends starting with small changes such as climbing stairs before using an elevator, parking the vehicle away from the access doors and walking your pet. These practices contribute to better blood flow and a positive impact on the muscles and the brain. Additionally, Anton made a call to control and manage stress. When facing an episode of stress, the pulse quickens, you breathe faster, the muscles tense, and the brain uses more oxygen; As a result, if the stress response lasts too long, it can harm your health. Dr. Anton visited Costa Rica to give a talk to almost 200 health specialists, thanks to the education efforts on nutrition and lifestyle issues of the Nestlé company and the support of the Costa Rican Association of Dietitians and Nutritionists (ACDYN) and the College of Nutritionists. “At Nestlé, we are committed to education issues that contribute to a healthier future. Nutrition, as the central axis of the company, moves us to promote this type of space, with the aim of promoting healthier lifestyles and greater well-being for individuals and families ”, said Patricia Vial, manager of Nutrition, Health and Well-being Nestlé Central America.

  17. According to the first investigations, the skeleton belongs to a male in his 40s who was about 170 centimeters tall. A group of archaeologists found in the surroundings of the city of Yakutsk, in the Far East of Russia, the remains of a man who was buried in a birch bark coffin between the years 1480-1640 and was apparently "a dangerous dead "In other words, he was a suicide, a shaman or an outcast, according to a study published recently in the journal Vestnik arheologii, antropologii i etnografii. According to the first analyzes, the skeleton belongs to a man in his 40s who was about 170 centimeters tall. The remains were on a birch bark mat and covered with a rectangular cloth measuring 162 × 55 centimeters. Scientists suggest that it was "a dangerous dead", since the orientation of the head of him was directed towards the east (contrary to the traditional orientation) and the skeleton was upside down. Likewise, this type of deceased was buried without any accompanying object, unlike the common dead, who used to be buried with weapons or handicrafts. News brought by https://actualidad.rt.com/

  20. The new S-Cross will debut at the end of the year on the European market with a micro hybrid engine and a lot of safety. Suzuki finally takes the veil off one of its strongest products, the new S-Cross (or SX4 S-Cross in some markets). Manufactured in the Hungarian plant, it will start its sales later this year in Europe, and then continue in Latin America, Oceania and Asia. According to the brand, the S-Cross has been a fairly accepted car in many markets, especially Europe, for its crossover type proposal. Although this recipe is not unique, Suzuki has managed to bring it at a good price. This new generation has a bit more of an SUV than a hatch, which helps in dimensions and design. The Japanese brand has not provided all the details of the new S-Cross, but it has specified the most important things regarding this model, which we will discuss in different sections: Suzuki S-Cross 2022: dimensions Length: 4.3 meters Width: 1.78 meters Height: 1.58 meters Between axles: 2.6 meters Trunk: 430 liters Suzuki S-Cross 2022: design Bold, Sophisticated, Versatile, these are the three concepts that Suzuki uses to describe the S-Cross The S-Cross 2022 sports a huge grille in a piano black finish.

In profile, the squarer wheel arches and a gentle curve at the shoulder line stand out. From behind, the lights and fascia are positioned higher, to continue to appeal to the codes of aesthetic robustness of an SUV. The skulls have a chrome background and a transparent casing, these are joined by a black bar in the center, as is the fashion today. Suzuki S-Cross 2022: interior and equipment The brand has not referred to further details in the interior, apart from its three-dimensional design and the new multimedia system with a 9 "screen with support for Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, which also provides complete information about the car and the deployment of the cameras. in 360 degrees. The materials have improved, at least from what we see in photos, such as the dash with visible seams, or the wraparound design towards the doors (a la Subaru). Looking at the high resolution photo, we know that this model, at least in its most equipped versions, will have keyless access with a power button, dual climate control and heated front seats. In terms of safety, the brand points out that the S-Cross equips autonomous emergency braking, traffic sign recognition, adaptive cruise control with "stop & go" function, lane keeping system, blind spot and cross traffic monitor.

  21. Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is one of the most common neurodevelopmental disorders of childhood. Children with ADHD may have trouble paying attention, controlling impulsive behaviors, or being overly active. The most common symptoms also include fantasizing a lot, forgetting or losing things easily, squirming or fidgeting, and talking a lot. Children with this neurobiological disorder face more obstacles in their school progress than average students. The inability to pay attention, the difficulty to stay in one place and control impulses, can make it more difficult for children with ADHD to do well in school. Determining if a child has ADHD is a multi-step process. There is no single test to diagnose it, as there are other comorbidities, such as anxiety, depression, and certain types of learning disorders, that can present similar symptoms. A first step in the process involves a medical exam, which includes hearing and vision tests. Another part of the process may include completing a checklist to rate ADHD symptoms and collecting the infant's history from parents, teachers, and sometimes from the child himself. In most cases, ADHD is best treated with a combination of behavior therapy and medications. "Pharmacological therapies are indicated as an integral part of a total treatment program for ADHD that can include other measures (psychological, educational, social)," explains Dr. Jorge Irías, Janssen's medical manager. When measures alone are insufficient, the decision to prescribe stimulant medication will depend on the physician's assessment of chronicity and the severity of the patient's symptoms. Drug therapies can help children with ADHD in their daily lives and be an effective way to manage symptoms. In addition, they help to control some behavioral conditions that have generated difficult situations with family, friends and at school. Currently, stimulant medications (psychostimulants) are the most commonly prescribed to treat attention deficit / hyperactivity disorder. These types of therapies seem to raise and balance the levels of brain chemicals called "neurotransmitters." In addition, they can help improve the signs and symptoms of inattention and hyperactivity, sometimes effectively in a short period of time. News brought by https://www.vidayexito.net/
  22. The Government rushes to close ranks with the vice president in the face of the PP offensive In Moncloa and the PSOE they admit that they are observing "carefully" Yolanda Díaz's movements to create a new political space with which she could attend the next general elections. With care and prevention, but warn that "without any concern." Today, they assure that the second vice president is an "asset" for the Government, like all the members of the Council of Ministers, but they do not consider her an "electoral threat" for the PSOE. Rather, on the contrary, the socialists will need United Podemos, or the space that Díaz could lead at the polls, "not to deflate and hold out." In the PSOE they trust the electoral resistance of that space, in addition to their own strength, that a progressive government can be reissued after the next general elections. In front they will have a bloc on the right, made up of the PP and Vox, whose votes would be profitable with a greater translation in seats thanks to the disappearance of the map that they predict to Citizens. However, they consider that Díaz's movements to promote what could be a new political project with which he will stand in the elections would be a bit “hasty”. The Labor Minister defends the management against the virus and accuses Casado of creating an "artificial controversy" In Moncloa they thus wield the determination to exhaust the legislature, with new budgets that again seem on track after the latest negotiations with ERC and the PNV, and the intention of presenting another draft of accounts next year. In other words, according to their calendar, the generals would not be held until the end of 2023 or the beginning of 2024. Too long, perhaps, to keep the flame alive. After the last clash between Yolanda Díaz and Nadia Calviño for the internal organization of the Government before the negotiation of the labor reform, the Minister of Labor returns to star in a controversy that generated discomfort in the socialist sector of the Executive and the PSOE, and that they take advantage of the PP, Vox and Cs to deploy a renewed offensive against the Government. Socialist sources thus admit that the statements Diaz made on Thursday about his warnings in February 2020 about the impact that the coronavirus could have were "unfortunate" or "an error", later reflected in a guide with precautions for companies that He acknowledged that it was very controversial even within the government itself. Regardless of the fact that some inscribe these statements in their political strategy, above all they criticize that they serve as ammunition for the right wing, which interpreted them as recognition that the Government had prior information on what was to come and, despite everything, later allowed large concentrations such as the feminist demonstration on March 8. Diaz herself, however, insisted yesterday on trying to settle the controversy. "We have been exemplary in managing the pandemic," she reiterated after the Council of Ministers. And she directed her criticism to the right, especially against a Pablo Casado who yesterday wielded the Prosecutor's Office on suspicion that the Government could "hide information" and delay the adoption of measures. PP, Vox and Cs claim to investigate whether information was withheld from the public. "This is indeed a great artificial controversy," replied Díaz, who recalled that at that time the PP also branded it as "alarmist." "The PP does the same today: generate a great artificial controversy," she insisted. And she did not want to enter to assess whether her statements could generate discomfort in the Government and the PSOE, or if they could have been a mistake in giving wings to the confrontational strategy of the right. She stressed that even the World Health Organization (WHO) set Spain "as an example in the management of the pandemic." The harsh offensives of the right, however, are always the best glue to dissent in the government coalition, which hastened to close ranks. The minister spokesperson, the socialist Isabel Rodríguez, assured that the entire Executive is at one, focused on the economic recovery, agreed to denounce Casado, and used the same arguments as Díaz when placing Spain, according to the WHO, "as an example of the best management of the pandemic ”.
