This discovery casts doubt on the theory, established for decades, that animals appeared on Earth only after the atmosphere and oceans received a major injection of oxygen. But until now, no sponge fossils from that period, known as the Neoproterozoic, have been detected. Elizabeth Turner, a professor at the Canadian Laurentienne University, searched for these fossils in geological layers of reefs dating back 890 million years, reefs "made" by bacteria that were depositing calcium carbonate. The researcher identified tiny tubular structures containing contemporary reef calcite crystals, which closely resemble the skeleton found in modern sponges. If this discovery, published in the journal Nature, is confirmed, the age of these fossils would exceed by about 350 million years that of the oldest animal remains known to date. “The most primitive animals that appeared in a process of evolution were probably sponges. Which is not surprising since sponges are the simplest animals in the tree of animal life, "he explained to AFP. If it is confirmed that the fossils that the scientist found, barely one centimeter in length, were sponges, those first traces of life lasted about 90 million years, until the Earth accumulated a sufficient level of oxygen for the appearance of animal life more complex, in the Neoproterozoic. "If my interpretation is fair, the early animals ... tolerated relatively lower oxygen levels than current conditions," he explained. Animals

That hasn't really been true for decades, but it's especially wrong right now. Used car prices have been pushed to extremes recently thanks to a combination of demand from consumers wary of taking public transportation and a severe shortage of computer chips needed to make new cars. That overheated market is driving prices up, even for cars and trucks with six-digit mileage. Chevy Bolt electric vehicle fire hazard warned Historically, even as used car prices have generally risen, prices for cars over 100,000 miles haven't moved that much. But that's definitely not the case this year. Last summer, the average used vehicle with between 160,000 and 170,000 kilometers on its odometer was worth about $ 12,700, according to Edmunds.com. That was only a few dollars more than it had been worth the year before. This year, that same type of vehicle would be worth about $ 16,500, an increase of about 30% in value. These days, cars and SUVs can routinely survive for at least 200,000 miles. Therefore, a vehicle in good condition with just over 100,000 miles should have a lot of life left. It may show some wear and tear, and given its age, it won't have the latest tech and safety features, but it still has plenty of time to drive someone around town. "In the past, it was like 'A hundred thousand miles? You're stranded,' while today it could be 'My phone won't connect because it's too old,'" said Ivan Drury, data analyst at Edmunds car pricing website. .com. That kind of increase isn't just limited to these high-mileage vehicles. Trucks, cars and SUVs of all ages are rising in value, according to data from Edmunds.com. In part, this is because prices depressed slightly, or at least were stable, a year ago during the depth of the coronavirus lockdowns. However, it mainly has to do with a higher demand for cars now. Average used vehicle prices, overall, have risen about 27% since last year. For cars and trucks that are beyond the 100,000 mile threshold, the increase in value is less, but still noticeable. For example, vehicles with just over 150,000 miles have risen 25% in average value over the past year. Again, that compares to very little increase in value normally. Cars that have been driven 160,000 kilometers but less than 177,000 are, on average, 7.5 years old, according to Edmunds.com. That's still well below the average for all passenger cars on America's roads, according to research by IHS Markit. The average car, light truck or SUV driven today is just over 12 years old, according to the most recent report from IHS Markit. (The average age of vehicles increased slightly last year due to the lack of new vehicle sales during the pandemic, according to the consultancy) Auto

The European football industry has contracted for the first time in a decade, registering total revenues of 25.2 billion euros in the 2019-20 season, 13% less than in the previous year, according to the 30th edition of the Deloitte report 'Annual Review of Football Finance', which analyzes the economic and commercial impact generated by the main football leagues in Europe. "It is still too early to know fully and in detail the economic impact that the crisis derived from COVID-19 is having on European football, although the scope of this in clubs is already beginning to be seen. Specifically, it is possible see the impact that the pandemic has had on the 'matchday', considering that the combined income of LaLiga teams fell by 19% on match days, due to the closure of the stadiums and the entry ban on fans ", indicated Javier Moncada, manager of Risk Advisory, an expert in Sports & Entertainment at Deloitte. In total, the five major European leagues generated revenues of € 15 billion in 2019-20, 11% less than the previous season. The Premier League continues to be the leader in the European ranking, with 5,134 million euros in revenue, although it suffered a historical drop of 13% compared to the previous season (2018-19). For its part, LaLiga recorded revenues of 3,117 million euros in the 2019-20 season, 8% less than the previous one, and yielded second place in the ranking to the Bundesliga, with 3,208 million euros in revenue and that won 4 % less compared to the previous season. Italy's Serie A, with revenues of 2,100 million euros (18% less) and France's Ligue 1, the only one that canceled its season early in response to the pandemic, with revenues of 1,600 million euros (16% less) , complete the total revenue of 15,100 million euros reached by the five 'top' leagues in Europe, which represents a fall of 11% compared to the previous year. The report includes the impact of the pandemic on matchday income in the 2019-20 season, as well as the effect on the two largest sources of income in the five major leagues: television broadcasting, which represents 51% of the profits of the clubs, and commercial (36%) However, the outlook is optimistic for the sector, especially in terms of broadcasting rights in the five major European leagues. The Premier League, for example, opted to renew their local partner agreements for the same value, while Serie A agreed to a 5% reduction in value in their new local agreement. "Despite the general uncertainty that the pandemic has caused, football has shown a great capacity for resilience, so it is worth looking at the 2021/22 season with optimism, which may become the definitive leap towards normality and recovery. solid in terms of income for the following seasons. Returning to activity safely, not only for athletes but also for fans, is a key aspect to limit the total economic impact that results, "concluded Moncada. Sport

Samsung Electronics, the world's leading television maker for 15 consecutive years, announced today that it will launch a 65-inch version of its lifestyle television, The Serif. As consumers are buying more large-screen TVs than ever *, Samsung is expanding its acclaimed portfolio of lifestyle TVs and adding the 65 "version of The Serif to the current lineup of 40", 43 "and 55" models. . The newest size of The Serif will launch first in South Korea and then in other regions. The Serif is a domain of form and function, inspired by the letter "I" in a Serif font, which eliminates the boundary between furniture and television. It was created in 2015 in collaboration with Ronan & Erwan Bouroullec, world-renowned French furniture designers, to connect with the space around you through a poetic design that functions as a shelf space. Now with a larger screen, The Serif can provide an even more immersive viewing experience and blend into its surroundings more than ever with enhanced functionality. In addition to its unique design, The Serif also offers Samsung QLED image quality, displaying 100% color volume for a rich and realistic image across all content. It also provides consumers with a comprehensive Smart TV experience powered by Tizen OS with an extensive content library and enhanced smart features. Through NFC technology, the new The Serif model also supports Tap View *, which allows users to play content from a smartphone on the TV screen by simply tapping the device on the side of the TV. Users can also easily connect to a mobile device through connectivity features like Apple AirPlay2 support for more ways to view content. And when it's off, Magic Screen can display environmental images and helpful information like date and time. While most televisions are designed to hang on the wall or on top of a TV stand, The Serif has been designed to be placed anywhere. With an intentionally designed rear, the TV can be placed in the center of the room, and with its “I” -shaped design it can be placed on any flat surface that consumers choose. Samsung also offers a metal stand that perfectly matches the TV so that it can stand on its own, being easily removable for added versatility. Lifestyle

Do you want to have your Covid Certificate in Google Pay? Well, it is simpler than it seems: we will tell you how to save the QR in your account to always have it available on all your phones, also on your watches with Wear OS. The Covid Certificate is not mandatory to travel or to move around destinations, but it is convenient to request it in order to speed up travel-related procedures (including access to restaurants and other places of entertainment). Requesting the Covid Certificate from the mobile phone does not involve complications, nor does downloading the certificate to the phone in order to present it from the screen. And there is an even more complete way to have it on Android: add it to Google Pay. Google announced the upcoming availability of the Certificate in the Android payments app, but that feature hasn't arrived yet. Even so, it is not difficult to download the QR to Google Pay: it is a process that is carried out in a few steps and without the need to be excessively complicated. For this we will use an intermediary app. Since Google Pay does not yet allow the incorporation of the certificate's QR directly (it can be entered as a loyalty card, but it removes part of the code when creating said card), an application such as Pass2Pay can be used to solve this problem. We have tested the process with several Covid Certificates and we can guarantee that it works correctly. 1)You must download Pass2Pay to your Android. It is an application that is responsible for creating cards suitable for Google Pay, either from a Passbook file or from scratch. 2)Download the PDF of your Covid Certificate to your mobile. You can also capture the QR code as an image. 3)Open Pass2Pay and choose the option you want. You can use "Open PDF" if you downloaded the Certificate in that format or "Open image" if you saved the QR capture. 4)Upload the file you need and accept the text identification: Pass2Pay will locate the QR code and use it as a Google Pay card. After the process, you will already have your Covid Certificate saved in Google Pay. It is possible to carry out all the steps without an Internet connection except for the generation of the pass, that point does need access to the network. You can delete Pass2Pay once you have created (and saved) the Google Pay card. News

The ministers of Economy and Finance of the EU (Ecofin) have given their approval on Monday to the reform and investment plans of Croatia, Cyprus, Lithuania and Slovenia to access aid from the EU recovery fund created after the crisis generated by the coronavirus. "We confirm the positive evaluations of Croatia, Cyprus, Lithuania and Slovenia, with them more than half of the national plans have been adopted", announced the Slovenian Minister of Finance and rotating EU presidency, Andrej Sircelj, after the meeting by videoconference of the 27 ministers. Although the ministers confirmed this Monday their agreement with the initial recommendation of the Commission to approve these four plans, the decision has yet to be formalized in the next few days by written procedure given that this Monday's meeting was of an informal nature. "The Commission will pay the first advances as soon as the technical agreements are closed with the Member States, which will happen in a matter of weeks, in some cases in a matter of days," said the Vice-President of the European Commission responsible for the Economy, Valdis Dombrovskis. With the adoption of these four plans, a total of 16 countries have already received the necessary approval to access the anti-crisis funds of the European Union, including Spain, whose plan was approved by Ecofin on July 13 with the first twelve plans validated. The EU has a recovery fund of 800,000 million with which it wants to lift the economies of the 27 from the crisis caused by the coronavirus pandemic and accelerate the green and digital transitions.

Visiting the Barcelona cemeteries of Montjuïc and Poblenou in these weeks can be intimidating. Between May and June the seagulls are in the nesting process and the graveyards are one of the quiet places chosen by these birds, which as soon as they suspect that their young may be in danger, they do not hesitate to fly low to frighten people or animals and don't get too close. The municipal company Cemeteries of Barcelona is aware of this problem, but denies having made recommendations on how to protect oneself with umbrellas inside Barcelona cemeteries and, of course, they do not distribute any type of umbrella to protect themselves from the attack of these birds. The gulls attack will cease in a few weeks when their chicks are safe. According to Joan Navarro, one of the researchers at the Institute of Marine Sciences, however, the people of Barcelona are not in danger from the attitude of these birds. The yellow-legged gull is a native species that lived on the coast and fed on fish. For a few years everything has changed. “It is a species that is not migratory and did not usually settle in cities, until the first nest in Barcelona was detected in 1978. It used to fish in the sea but it is an opportunistic animal that has learned to eat at landfills. Their diet is now based on hunting doves and Argentine parrots ”, Navarro highlights. In Barcelona, the yellow-legged gull can be seen on the cliffs of Montjuïc and a significant part of the po[CENSORED]tion nests on the roofs and roofs of almost every neighborhood in the city with the exception of Pedralbes, La Trinitat and Torre Baró. There is no sign of the seagull either in Collserola or in the Tres Turons. Most of the nests located on the rooftops are usually solitary, but up to five have been found together on the same roof. “The po[CENSORED]tion that reproduces ranges between 200 and 250 breeding pairs. The total po[CENSORED]tion should be around 1,000 gulls. It is a po[CENSORED]tion that has been stable for years ”, the researcher maintains. Intimidation “It is not dangerous and with its low flights it is very difficult for them to harm a human being. The problem is that it is a bird that intimidates and that is the inconvenience with which the neighbors are, ”warns Navarro, who maintains that the yellow leg is a bird that has also spread to other cities. “They have no predator, but when they have no food they stop reproducing. It is not protected and at some point it could be classified as a plague in southern Europe ”, the researcher maintains. Joan Navarro maintains that the great novelty since 1978 in the attitude of yellow-legged birds is that they now base their diet on Argentine pigeons and parrots. "There are so many that it is very easy for them to capture them," sums up the researcher. Navarro believes that the confinement after the state of alarm was decreed has caused the people of Barcelona to pay more attention to the presence of these seagulls, which is the most majority species but not the only one. “In a part of the Free Zone there are also audoin gulls. That they are in danger precisely because of the yellow leg ”, he laments. “In winter there is a type of gull, the laughing one, which is migratory and comes from northern Europe. It is very curious because there is a ringed specimen that comes from Poland to Barcelona every year ”, he points out. Animals

When it introduced the new water-cooled Sportster S last week, Harley-Davidson dropped the first hints about more Sportster-brand machines for the future. The next model has now appeared on the web thanks to a questionnaire sent by the Yankee firm itself. The new Sportster S is an intentional departure from any existing model. With a 1252cc 121hp V-twin with water cooling, dual overhead camshaft heads and variable valve timing, this is a genuinely modern bike. The monoshock rear suspension, inverted forks and a chassis that uses the engine as a structural component show that this is not your father's (or grandfather's) Harley. However, the old air-cooled Sportster models have already disappeared from the European market due to the latest emission limits. The handful of models still sold elsewhere - the Iron 883, the Iron 1200 and the Forty-Eight - have been registered by Harley as cruisers rather than "Sportsters" and are expected to be discontinued in the near future. The introductory video of the new Sportster S contains some highlights of the upcoming Sportster model, including a circular headlight with a small visor, the water-cooled Revolution Max engine that is powered by a two-in-one exhaust system mounted on a low position, and a traditional style rear fender with double shock absorber. All three items perfectly match the images in Harley's customer questionnaire, which showed the bike in six possible finishes. One of them - the most similar to the photos in the video preview - shows the engine in silver with a chrome exhaust and silver wheels. Other versions were one with the engine in bronze color, black wheels and chrome exhaust, another with the engine and silver wheels, but with the black exhaust, and another the same but with the engine finish in bronze. Finally, two options with a black engine and silver wheels were shown, one with chrome tubes and the other black. Colors aside, the bikes were the same, and all featured center-mounted running boards instead of the forward-mounted design on the longer, lower Sportster S. They are combined with relatively low and wide bars, suggesting a more comfortable day-to-day riding position than that offered by the Sportster S. The wheels are also more conventional than the S model, which features an unusually wide 160 front tire on a 17-inch rim. The new model appears to have an 18- or 19-inch front with a relatively narrow tire - probably 120 - allied to a smaller 16-inch rear. In addition to the traditional double shock absorber, the bike has conventional forks. Like the Sportster S, the bike has a single front disc, but unlike the S model the caliper does not appear to be radial. This could be an indication that the bike will make a difference to the S model, either with a lower specification version compared to the 1252cc Revolution Max engine or the 975cc version that was originally scheduled to go into production this year with the canceled one. Bronx streetfighter with 115 hp and 95 Nm. This figure compares with the 121 hp and 92 of the Sportster S and the 150 hp and 94 of the Panamericana that debuted the Revolution Max engine. Moto

If what we want is to burn fat efficiently, the ideal is to opt for training routines that combine strength and cardio exercises, an approach that also allows to develop muscle mass and improve cardiovascular skills at the same time. And it is not a free recommendation. The latest scientific evidence confirms that interventions using high intensity aerobic exercise and high load resistance training are more effective. It does not mean that exclusively cardio or strength training are not beneficial, but the combination of both offers better results in decreasing abdominal fat, improving lean body mass and increasing cardiorespiratory fitness. At least it is the main conclusion of a recent work by researchers from University College Dublin (Ireland) published in Obesity Reviews. Strength and cardio routine For this reason, we share, courtesy of Rubén García, fitness expert and personal trainer, a complete training routine with which we can develop the upper body, Korea lower body muscle groups without neglecting our cardiopulmonary fitness. In addition, we will be in a position to burn a good number of calories and we will be closer to losing weight or staying within healthy parameters. 5 compound exercises to transform the body Jump Lunge + Kick Lateral Plank Raise Scaler Jumping Lunge Jacks Sprint + 1/2 Burpee Jump Routine dynamics Warm up before starting training Work per exercise: 30-45 seconds Rest between exercises: 15 seconds Number of rounds: 3-4 rounds Rest between rounds: 1-2 minutes Lastly, the ideal is for physical exercise to become the norm rather than the exception. For this, adherence and consistency are essential if we are to achieve results. It is essential that we choose those activities that are most rewarding for us so that they become an indispensable part of our lifestyle. And remember, a little exercise each day is already a lot.

The San Sebastián Musical Fortnight, the Soriano Autumn Festival and Musikaste are some of the most outstanding events in the repertoire of performances programmed by the Young Orchestra of Euskal Herria (EGO) for the coming months, which will begin after their usual summer meeting . As reported in a note, after the change of model and the management team last year, marked by the pandemic, the EGO faces 2021 "with an intense and ambitious programming" with "projects and programs in new settings and contexts." A new stage "marked by the repositioning of the project and the diversification and intensification of its own activity", which will lead the orchestra to collaborate with directors and soloists of the highest international level and to participate in important music festivals, "raising the standards of quality and taking it to the threshold of professionalism. " The EGO activity will start with its usual "summer meeting", which will culminate with a tour that will take them to the Euskalduna Palace in Bilbao (July 25), to the Principal Theater of Vitoria (July 26), to the Victoria Eugenia Theater in San Sebastián (July 27) and the Itsas Etxea Auditorium in Hondarribia (July 28), with a program dedicated to Mozart and Brahms. Likewise, the EGO will attend the Musical Fortnight on August 8, the Soriano Autumn Festival (September 19) and the Errenteria Musikaste festival (October 23). Ego

For more than half a century, humanity has faced the challenge of finding out the form of the basic building blocks of life, a knowledge that would help cure diseases that today have no remedy. In 1969 a biologist predicted that it would take more than 14 billion years to figure out the possible configurations of a single protein, but the AlphaFold system has managed to do it in just a few minutes. The "instructions" of more than 20,000 types of proteins that are responsible for replicating genetic material, obtaining energy or producing antibodies, among other functions, are stored in human DNA. Biologists try to understand their structures in processes that take months or years, but this artificial intelligence system that belongs to Google is capable of doing it in a few minutes. This system, called AlphaFold predicts the structure of proteins after reading the long chains of molecules that compose it, it is as if you could predict the appearance of a recipe just by reading the ingredients. DeepMind, the company that created this system, and the European Molecular Biology Laboratory published this Thursday in the journal 'Nature' more than 350,000 protein structures. An unprecedented advance in biology The scientist Venki Ramakrishnan, winner of the Nobel Prize in Chemistry in 2009, affirms, as collected by ‘El País’, that it is “an amazing advance”, with unpredictable consequences. “It has happened much earlier than many experts would have predicted. It is going to be exciting to see the many ways in which biological research is going to radically change, "said the scientist in a statement. These structures could be used to investigate treatments for diseases such as Alzheimer's, cancer and even COVID, since all of them are related to the form of some protein. The director of the company, Demis Hassabis announced that in the coming months he will publish 100 million structures calculated with this AlphaFold system. Prediction with errors The Spanish biologist, José Antonio Márquez has explained to 'El País' that elucidating the shape of a protein with a synchrotron, or with the alternative method of electronic cryomicroscopy, may require “months or even years”, while this novel system done in a few minutes, albeit with errors. “These are computer predictions, not the experimental determination of the structure. And the precision is 58% ”explains the biologist. The scientist assures that, although it is not exact, this system will save a lot of time in research. In addition, he also points out that there is another limitation, since proteins tend to interact with others, and what AlphaFold does is predict isolated molecules, so it is not capable of predicting interactions between cells. "It is going to accelerate discoveries in practically all areas of biology," says Márquez. Biology
