In its eagerness to become one of the car brands with a wide variety of electric models, Kia Motors Corporation created the "Plan S", a medium and long term strategy that includes mobility and electrification services, as well as connectivity and vehicle autonomy. As part of this strategy, Kia intends that by the end of 2025 it will have a full range of 11 electric vehicles with battery (BEV). With this offer, the Korean brand tries to reach a 6.6 percent share of the global electric vehicle market (excluding China) and, at the same time, make a quarter of the company's sales be green cars. Similarly, by 2026, Kia expects to market 500,000 electric vehicles annually and one million electrified vehicles worldwide (excluding China). In order to achieve these goals that are part of the Plan, Kia Motors will invest until the end of 2025 a total of 22,500 million euros to establish leadership in the electrification of vehicles and diversify its business. At the same time, the company will look for innovations in all areas, ranging from brand identity, corporate identity, design identity and user experience, among others. Basically, Kia's goal is to allow customers to experience, feel and directly understand this evolution as that of a company that defends electric vehicles and mobility solutions. All this new era of Kia focused on electrification will begin in 2021 with the launch of an exclusively electric vehicle, which will be built on a specific platform designed to house the propulsion system and electrical technologies. At the same time, it will offer a design that will blur the boundaries between SUVs and sports cars, a future-oriented user experience, a driving autonomy with a single load of more than 500 kilometers and a high-speed charging time of less than 20 minutes In emerging markets, Kia will focus on expanding sales of vehicles with an internal combustion engine, while reviewing the selective entry of electric cars based on the demand of each market.

The last Golden Globes gala set a precedent by offering guests a meat-free meal Joaquin Phoenix in the latest edition of the Golden Globes, proud to attend, he said, after learning that a vegetarian menu was served. MIKE BLAKE REUTERS First, cold beet cream decorated with citrus oil, pistachios and amaranth sprouts. As main course, a mushroom risotto with king oyster mushroom scallops. And, for dessert, opera cake with praline and caramelized hazelnuts. This menu, which seems taken from the menu of a Michelin star restaurant, was the one offered at the Golden Globes. One 100% vegetable that has dedicated this edition as the first to offer food free of animal products. The Hollywood Foreign Press Association, organizer of the event, made the decision to feed its plant-based guests for environmental reasons. As they say on their website, this initiative aimed to "raise awareness about the need to adopt sustainable lifestyles." A determination that in no way compromised the quality of the food served. In fact, Matthew Morgan, the executive chef of the Beverly Hilton Hotel and responsible for creating the menu, looked forward to the challenge and claimed to be excited to be part of this "statement of intent." During the press conference after the awards ceremony, the award-winning best actor, Joaquin Phoenix, said he was “very moved by the decision to have made a plant-based menu (with plant-based foods)” and, after pointing out that livestock is one of the main culprits of the climatic emergency, he said he had never felt "so proud to attend an awards ceremony." This pride that Phoenix felt for attending some Golden Globes with a 100% vegetable menu could not be felt by the more than 20,000 people who participated in the COP25 last December in Madrid. Because at the United Nations Conference on Climate Change there was only one vegan food truck, which forced those who wanted to feed sustainably to always make a long line. It is ironic that at a conference on the weather emergency the food is less sustainable than at a film awards ceremony The rest of the food that circulated through COP25 was far from being 100% vegetable. In the cafeterias the free options of animal products varied in number, reaching 70% of the menu in the best of days. In the services of meals, the serrano ham and the cheeses were offered everywhere. Fast food chains did not include options of plant origin. Not even Burger King, who didn't offer his vegetable burger, the Rebel Whopper, until the second week of the event. The previous year, at COP24 in Katowice (Poland) the gastronomic offer was even worse. In it, only 20% of the dishes were vegan. Because of this situation, the Food and Climate Alliance, a group of organizations that advocates a shift towards a more plant-based food system, and Vegetarians Today, a Chilean organization that promotes vegetarian food, struggled to reach an agreement with the COP25 organization in Chile to offer a 100% vegetable menu by default. The agreement was reduced to a menu that was 75% but, with the change of headquarters of the COP25 from Chile to Spain and the characteristics of the site in Madrid, its implementation was impossible. However, it seems that there is a willingness to change and that the United Nations is increasingly aware that they must offer at their summits products that reflect what their reports preach: the need for a radical change of the food system. It is still ironic that in a conference where solutions to curb the climatic emergency are discussed, less sustainable food is offered than in a movie awards ceremony. But, looking at it optimistically, it can be said that the Golden Globes have opened the way and set a precedent. Contacted by this environmental awareness, the Critic Choice Awards, held on January 13, also served a 100% vegetable menu. In Spain, the Goya ceremony will be carbon neutral, but the question remains whether the food service will be 100% vegetable. Also what will happen at COP26 in Glasgow, United Kingdom, this 2020. Will a menu finally be adapted to the climatic emergency we are experiencing? They have in their hands to demonstrate how to revolutionize the food system, betting on one (more) plant. And, apparently, they have "movie" teachers.

Meanwhile, the death toll from the new coronavirus has increased to 18. The Chinese authorities have announced the closure of the city of Xianning, with a po[CENSORED]tion of 2.5 million inhabitants, to prevent the spread of the new coronavirus, local media reported. This is the fourth city in the central province of Hubéi in the last 24 hours to experience this type of measures. First, in Wuhan, with more than 11 million inhabitants, then in Huanggang, with more than 6 million, and then in Chibi, with about half a million inhabitants, the circulation of buses and rail transport was suspended. In addition, checkpoints were installed at the entrances and exits of the cities where passengers and drivers are checked for signs of illness. Health authorities in China have announced that the death toll from the new coronavirus has increased to 18. Meanwhile, the number of infected people has already risen to 644 people. The National Health Commission of the Asian country believes that the new virus, which originated in Wuhan last December, could mutate and spread, since it is transmitted through the respiratory tract. That is why they make a series of recommendations to contain the virus, including disinfection and ventilation in airports, train stations and shopping centers, precisely in a week in which hundreds of millions of people travel the country on the occasion of the holidays of the Year New Chinese

With the boom of SUVs, the South Korean brand adds a new member to its ranks, it is the KIA Seltos 2020. This new van is located between the Soul and Sportage. Although the Seltos has several design elements that separate it quite a bit from the rest of its range sisters, such as the large chrome frame that in some parts is smooth and in others has a machined finish, as well as the three-dimensional elements of the black chrome grill . The lower part of the front has a finish that simulates satin-tone metal, which is used for the periphery of fog lights and there are also the red inserts of the GT Line version. KIA Seltos maintains the DNA of the brand with the tiger nose grill but is very subtle, sports spoiler, floating roof, 16 or 17 ”wheels and double exhaust that is combined with the lines of the rear diffuser. Regarding motorization, there are two options; a 1.6L MPI engine with 121 hp and 111 lb-ft of torque, coupled with a 6-speed manual transmission offers 16.25 km / l while with a six-ratio automatic transmission, 15.80 km / l - EX and EX Pack versions- . Both yields are in combined cycle. Or a 1.4L turbocharged engine with 138 hp and 179 lb-ft of torque, coupled to a 7-speed DCT transmission offers 17 km / l in combined cycle - GT Line version, we already drive it. As standard, it equips six airbags in all its versions and disc brakes on all four wheels. In addition, it has ABS brakes; brake distribution system -EBD-; Stability control -ESC- and slope control assistant -HAC-. The input version will have an 8 ”touch screen compatible with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, and the remaining with a 10.25” with the “split screen” option, which allows you to divide the screen into three sections, to have in sight Driver and passenger references. In the case of the top of the range, the info-entertainment screen has a 7 ”color cluster with speed and RPM, transmission temperature, driving modes, turbo pressure, torque and fuel consumption as well as a Wireless charger for smartphones - Qi- charge. The trunk offers a cargo space of 853 mm long, 1,025 mm wide and 813 mm high. Like the KIA Forte sedan 2019, Seltos will also have connectivity to the MyKIA + app, which is available for IOS and Android operating systems.

Aiming an intimate appointment on the agenda, between work meetings and visiting the dentist, is just what some couples need to encourage their sex life At first glance it seems a cold and forced solution, but those who see how sexual encounters are reduced by stress, because the responsibilities of the home have overwhelmed them, by the dedication that requires the care of children or other relatives, even by having numerous social commitments, maybe they should try it. It might surprise you. In fact, it is one of the favorite options of sexologists for cases in which lack of desire is not the main cause of sex escaping in the couple. The strategy is called the sexual agenda and consists of looking for a place in the planning of the week to intimate with the couple, establishing in advance the place, date and time. Literally. That the prescription of this ultra-organized and optimized version of the classic 'Saturday, sabadete' comes from a specialist brings confidence, but does not prevent the idea from provoking rejection. After all, how is it possible to program something that should come naturally? The therapist and sexologist Inma Ríos explains: "We give a lot of value to spontaneity in our sexual relationships. It seems that the best encounters we remember emerged without being expected and we have the faith that, without doing anything, the time will come to enjoy new from an extraordinary experience ... In this way we make it a pleasure to enjoy very rarely and by chance ". The truth is that pretending that everything will come by magic, as it seems to happen at the beginning of a relationship, can be a way to condemn sex life to failure. The sexologist Irene Valverde also insists that this strategy is perfect for those who do not have time to have an erotic encounter, and invites not to consider the cold pages of the agenda as an impediment, as we do with other things, such as dining with the Friends: "We spent the day planning; the food we are going to make, the clothes we will wear, the weekend trip ... endless scheduled events, and, as far as sex is concerned, it was not going to be different". In a sense, what Valverde says is most logical; If one strives to take time to go to the cinema at the time the movie begins or to make the purchase before the refrigerator is empty, why not look for a place to have sex with the couple? Isn't that what you usually do at the beginning of a relationship? Moreover, why not turn the agenda into a pretext to add some spice to the relationship? Meetings prepared, with surprise, in a hotel ... The reluctance to this plan arises from the fact that "we usually think that if we plan our sexual encounters, the magic is lost," says Ríos. According to the expert, if we think so, we are most likely to be seriously wrong. "The anticipation of the moment is already pleasant in itself. Having in mind that you are going to enjoy and prepare what is going to be done predisposes us for the moment. Activate our fantasies and feed the libido", remember for those who have forgotten the feeling . Of course, for a scheduled sex session to be a memorable event, and appointments do not become less than obligations such as visiting the dentist (which is not usually pleasant), it is important to know how to plan the moment. Not only do we have to look for a space in which both members of the couple expect that they will be relaxed, "the duration must also be agreed, taking into account that this appointment is just as important as any other," said Valverde. You also have to take care of the details so that the experience is appealing, and to achieve it there is nothing better than planning the dynamics. The game can begin before the encounter itself, the only barrier is the lack of imagination. "We can pay a visit to an erotic shop and select an accessory for that day," Valverde suggests. And he adds: "Everyone can decide how to plan it. You can agree as a couple or set up meetings prepared by a member of the couple each time, as a surprise", even prepare something special like a date at a hotel. Of course, it must be clear that this solution is not to comply quickly, but to dedicate quality time to the couple when circumstances make it difficult. And if, despite all the effort, the thing does not stop flowing, there is no need to make a drama. You can always convert a sexual date into another in which to meet again, talk or enjoy a while hugging skin to skin. The important thing is to organize and take time to get intimate with the couple, whether or not erotic relationships. "You can start with different gratifying activities that involve intimacy, laughter and pleasure: massage, dance, caresses, bath or shower, dinner ... and go see how the moment unfolds," concludes Rios.

"They have only two paths: leaving the country or the prison," said the Peruvian authority. The Interior Minister of Peru, Carlos Morán, announced Tuesday that "the presence of Venezuelans has generated shock" in the country and that is why he has decided to form a special police brigade to "fight foreign criminals." In an interview with Radio Nacional, Morán pointed out that the new elite group will especially work on the "phenomenon" of "Venezuelan criminals." According to Morán, "criminals who discredit the Venezuelan community have arrived in Peru" and said there are gangs with citizens of that nationality "involved in crimes, pimping, sicariate." Similarly, he stressed that "more barriers at the border have been established, with controls with biometric cameras," while acknowledging that "in recent months, Venezuelan migration has declined dramatically." The minister also said that he has held a meeting with the Prosecutor's Office in Peru on the issue of "criminal migration" to work under the same line. "They have only two paths: leaving the country or jail," he added. Xenophobia in Peru Since the end of September 2019, the dissemination of hate messages against Venezuelans reached alarming levels in Peru. Even, there were a series of demonstrations, convened on social networks, to demand his departure from the country with xenophobic phrases such as "outside the Venecos" or "Maduro, take your trash." Although some conservative sectors of that country have tried to attribute responsibility for crime exclusively to Venezuelans, a study called 'Impact of migration of foreigners on the incidence of crime in Peru' showed that from 2016 to May 2019, Venezuelans were involved in 5,767 complaints of crimes. From 2016 to 2018 there were a total of 941,788 complaints for crimes in Peru, according to the statistical yearbook of the Police of that country, so the percentage of Venezuelans related to criminal actions corresponds to 0.61%, without taking into account 2019. However, discriminatory expressions against this group have not ceased. In fact, Fujimorista lawmaker Esther Saavedra said during a session of the Peruvian Congress that Venezuelans "bad or good have to leave Peru, leave." At that time, the Venezuelan Foreign Ministry issued a statement expressing "its most resounding repudiation of acts of xenophobia, aggression and persecution against Venezuelan citizens and citizens who have migrated to the Republic of Peru." "These are shameful and inhuman acts, allowed or committed by authorities of the Government of Peru and instigated by hate campaigns against the Venezuelan gentilicio," said the letter.

We travel to the artificial island of Rokko, in Japan, to portray a set of halftime garments that summarize all that style will be in 2020 The island of Rokko is named that way because the materials with which it was built between 1973 and 1992 came from the Rokko Mountains, located about ten kilometers inside Japan. Located next to the city of Kobe, in Osaka Bay, this artificial island is a paradise of modern architecture that, in a dozen streets, houses offices, hotels and homes. Precisely in this maze of concrete, stone and glass our team has photographed a selection of garments that, like this landscape, are on horseback between the winter season that ends and the spring season that already appears on the horizon. Avant-garde, sporty, luxurious and contemporary fashion that takes on new meaning in this inhospitable and attractive place at the same time.

In an interview with Caracol, the US secretary of state considered that the "project" will give "a result": "Maduro will leave and Venezuela will have free elections." The US secretary of state, Mike Pompeo, said in an interview that his "mission" is "to get (Nicolás) Maduro to leave" and to have elections in Venezuela. "We are in this project that will give a result: Maduro will leave and the people of Venezuela will have free and fair elections," he said in an interview published by Caracol. Pompeo participated last Monday in the III Hemispheric Summit against Terrorism, which was held in Bogotá, and which was attended by Venezuelan opposition deputy Juan Guaidó. "Get Maduro to leave" The US secretary of state said that his Government, which does not recognize Maduro as president of Venezuela, is in talks with "all of South America, Central America, European countries and others around the world", in order to join efforts to depose the Venezuelan president. In this regard, Venezuelan Foreign Minister Jorge Arreaza recently reported on a document distributed by US embassies. in the world with the purpose of coercing their governments to support a possible transitional government in Venezuela, through the National Assembly, with an opposition majority. "The purpose of the mission we have together is to get Maduro to leave," Pompeo said, adding that he had met with Guaido, who told him about the "terrorist threat to the citizens of his country." The President of Colombia, Iván Duque, with the US Secretary of State, Mike Pompeo and the Venezuelan opposition deputy Juan Guaidó, in Bogotá, Colombia, on January 20, 2020. At the Summit against Terrorism, both Colombian President Iván Duque and Pompeo agreed that Caracas financed and housed terrorist groups in its territory. "The strategy" When asked about the strategy, considered a "failure" that his country would be applying to depose the Venezuelan president, the head of US diplomacy said it was underway. "You know, what I hear is that the strategy is working," he said. Pompeo ratified that his country has put "harsh sanctions on the regime making it harder for them to harm the Venezuelan people." For its part, the Venezuelan Government has presented figures to demonstrate that punitive measures are not only against senior officials, but have affected the po[CENSORED]tion. Maduro recently claimed that the US blockade against Venezuela it has generated losses in the order of 40,000 million dollars. Finally, Pompeo said that Washington will achieve "free and fair presidential elections," despite Maduro's six-year term culminating in 2025, according to the Constitution of that country. Abuse of allusions to 'democracy' These statements by Pompeo show that the American country "has never abandoned the tactic of interference in the affairs of sovereign countries and the policy of regime change," estimates the official spokeswoman for the Russian Foreign Ministry, María Zajárova. In his opinion, the US it abuses allusions to 'democracy' and 'democratic organization' in other countries as a tool to foster in them a "convenient domestic political situation in Washington."

Welcome ?

This hot hatch has all the spirit of the Yaris that competes in the WRC. Finally, the wait is over and makes its appearance the Toyota GR Yaris, a hot hatch that carries all the know-how of the Japanese brand in the WRC. Developed by Toyota Gazoo Racing, hence the initials GR, this sports car in the background is totally different from the “normal” Yaris, as it opens a platform, engine, suspension, aerodynamic kit and a four-wheel drive system. Other differentiating elements of this Toyota GR Yaris is the lower roof fall, the engine is located in a more delayed position near the center of the car, the body is made of lightweight materials, such as carbon fiber and aluminum polymer, to get An impressive weight-to-power ratio, a high-performance brake system, the rear is wider, the wheels are 18 inches and you get a new rear suspension system. To all this artillery must be added the most powerful three-cylinder engine of the moment, it is a 1.6-liter with 261 hp and 266 foot-pounds of torque. Among the innovations is the piston cooling with oil multi-injection, the large diameter exhaust valves, a mechanized intake port and a single-scroll turbocharger. When working together with the six-speed manual transmission and the four-wheel drive system, the engine has the ability to move the mass of 1,280 kilograms in an agile way, proof of this is the 5.5 seconds it takes to go from 0 at 100 km / h.

Throughout life we go through difficult times that are inevitable. Suffering, on the other hand, is optional and depends largely on us. SUFFERING has a purpose, but it must also have an end. That psychic pain and suffering walk hand in hand is a temporary necessity, but the former does not always have to involve the latter. When something bad happens to us, it is necessary to “suffer it”, cry it, express it. People do not exist in isolation. Things happen to us. The environment affects us constantly. Joy, happiness and well-being, such as suffering, discomfort and bitterness, are not the effect of the isolated event that happens: they are the effect of our way of handling the things that happen to us. How we integrate events in our lives. We can suffer, be passive to what happens to us, but we can also exercise our capacity for action in the environment, because in the same way that what surrounds us affects us, we affect what surrounds us and define our relationship with it. In these situations there are elements that provide the possibility of sharing, because pain is loneliness. It is radical loneliness. You can't define ..., "It's like a thousand needles together in my skin", "It's like a nail in my head", "It's like something is broken inside", "It's like ...". In the same way, intensity can only be measured in reference to oneself, "before it hurt ten and now it hurts seven", but we cannot quantify the pain of others or expect them to fully understand ours. The most effective way to reduce anxiety when we face the loneliness of pain is to share it. And the best relief, accompaniment, welcome and understanding. But after the acute phase of pain, we are alone before him again. Emotional pain invites us to be creative, because it forces us to face our loneliness, learn to accept it and live with it. Pain helps us to value well-being, happiness, friendship, health, presence, kiss. That is, based on pain, we acquire the ethical dimension of life. Nothing would have value if we did not know that pain exists. There is no virtue that should not overcome him or his threat. It is necessary, but if in his inevitable name we turn suffering into the reason of our life, in our identity, we are condemned to be sufferers, nothing but sufferers, to live for and for suffering. That means banishing joy, happiness, and well-being. The suffering being is a suffering being insofar as he gives himself to suffering. The suffering being accepts his pain, the cause of his pain and intensity, and introduces him into his life as something else that will always accompany him, which will be part of his biography, his being and his being in the world, but not It will make it the center of your life or your reason for living. The most effective way to reduce anguish when we face the loneliness of pain is to share it. And the best relief, accompaniment, welcome and understanding.

The suffering being is a suffering being who adds to his misfortune elements that are not intrinsic to pain and are unnecessary. It is neither necessary nor convenient to become someone who only suffers, because this limits their vision of the future from suffering, and not towards life. It is annoying for himself and for those around him. Do we want suffering to become our hallmark? It's easy to do it: don't think about what happened to you, but what they did to you; Do not enjoy what you have, worry about what you can lose. The suffering being is installed in reproach, in weakness, in guilt - appropriate or alien -, in bitterness, in self-pity and in the demand for commiseration. Or worse, in the "if I - or another - there were ...". Life is made. What has happened has happened, and it is quite impossible to know what would have happened had the circumstances or the attitude of those involved changed. It is turning feeling into resentment. Pain emerges from the victim, suffering emerges from victimhood. The victim is the person, and people are active beings, we are creative, fertile, autonomous, free, capable of action. It is true that when something sad or uncomfortable happens to us, we tend to shrink, to feel incapable, and when what affects us is joyful, the creative power grows in us. In this struggle our life passes, and we can choose between governing it or suffering it. In the Odyssey the gods assure in assembly: “Oh, oh, how do the mortals blame the gods! For from us, they say, evils proceed. But they too, because of their stupidity, endure pains beyond their due ”. Indeed, man alone is left over and enough to be miserable.

The senior German diplomat says that European countries seek to "make progress" through diplomacy, and not an escalation of tension. German Foreign Minister Heiko Maas said that the US and Europe have a "different approach" on Iran and the 2015 nuclear agreement. In his words, instead of following Washington's maximum pressure campaign against Tehran, the EU would opt for diplomacy, in order to avoid further escalation. of tensions in the region. "While the US unilaterally abandoned the nuclear agreement and imposed maximum pressure [on Iran], we want to make progress through negotiations. France, the United Kingdom and Germany want to maintain the agreement to prevent Iran from obtaining weapons nuclear, "Maas said in an interview with Bild, published this Sunday. The minister added that "pure threats" and military action have done "nothing" to change Iran's behavior. "We should not pretend that an externally induced regime change in Tehran will automatically improve the situation. That has gone wrong in other places, such as in Iraq," he warns. "We want to avoid a firestorm in the Middle East. The EU is committed to diplomacy instead of escalation," said Maas. This Thursday, German Defense Minister Annegret Kramp-Karrenbauet confirmed the reports that Washington pressured Berlin, Paris and London to accuse Iran of violating the 2015 nuclear agreement, threatening to impose auto tariffs on the opposite case. . "Non-reversible implications" On Tuesday, the United Kingdom, France and Germany declared that Iran's actions regarding the Comprehensive Joint Action Plan (JCPOA) "have non-reversible proliferation implications" and activated the dispute mechanism, explaining that the " general objective "of this measure is to" preserve "the agreement. At this step, which could lead to the restoration of the UN sanctions against the Islamic Republic, Tehran reacted by threatening to give a "serious and firm" response to any "destructive action" taken by any of the signatories of the JCPOA. On January 19, the president of the Iranian Parliament, Ali Larijani, warned that Iran could review cooperation with the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) if pressure from the European Union increases. For his part, the supreme leader of Iran, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, in a speech during Friday's prayers indicated that "you cannot trust" the United Kingdom, France and Germany, European signatories of the pact, from which he unilaterally withdrew USA, and said that the actions of those countries to pressure the Islamic Republic will not work.

Once again the German tuner plays its own in a McLaren super car. Thinking of those owners of the McLaren 720S Spider who seek to go beyond what this super car offers as standard, Novitec has developed a kit that elevates the image and performance. Limited to only 15 units, the N-Largo package increases the presence of the 720S by means of a wide body developed in the wind tunnel, this makes the body see a gain of 60 mm in the front and 130 mm in the rear. Visually, the appearance of the Novitec 720S N-Largo Spider is glorified by a set of 20-inch Vossen wheels on the front axle and 21 inches on the rear, which are accompanied by high-performance tires -Pirelli P Zero-. In addition to this more corpulent appearance, this McLaren improves its downforce by decreasing the height of the body by means of coilovers that lower the ground clearance by 35 mm. On top of these changes abroad, Novitec also personalizes the interior of this convertible with leather and alcantara upholsteries, as well as a long list of tones for these. All this tuning work by Novitec on the 720S Spider culminates with the increase in power by the 4.0-liter V8 biturbo, which when climbing 85 hp and 80 foot-pounds of torque registers a net force of 795 hp and 648 pounds -pieces of torque. Thanks to this increase in power, the convertible takes off from 0 to 100 km / h in 2.7 seconds, this is two tenths of a second less than the stock car. Potentially, to reach 200 km / h requires 7.5 seconds, this is three tenths less. Another figure that is also altered is the maximum speed that goes from 341 km / h to 346 km / h.

A new exhibition of the Complutense Art Center of Madrid collects works by 25 contemporary artists to unite research and imagination The face of a girl on a garlic clove, a piece of grass seen upside down, a dozen huge flowers made of paper mache or the head of a unicorn with a horn of more than a meter are some of the pieces found at the Complutense Art Center in Madrid on the occasion of the Herbarios Imaginados exhibition. Between art and science, which opened this Thursday and will remain until March 31. Four rooms constitute a journey that weaves close links between the rigor of science, ecology and artistic freedom from the works of 25 national and international contemporary artists. Luis Castelo and Toya Legido, curators and professors of the art, technology, image and cultural heritage research group of the Faculty of Fine Arts of the Complutense University of Madrid (UCM), have recovered the material hidden in the cabinets of the laboratories of the faculties to bring them to light and show them with language accessible to all. “They were wonderful. You had to make all this known and remove it from that plastic bag, ”they explain. Most of this unpublished content are creations that are inspired by science and nature while others are samples of a microscope or didactic sheets of the botany classes of previous centuries that become works of art. The first room, Poisons and Medicine, "is the link between science and magic," explains Legido. The unicorn horn welcomes you in bluish colors, sixteenth-century pharmaceutical vases, poisoned plants that give powers to witches and works such as Joan Fontcuberta's. This contemporary Catalan artist plays with the viewer: what appear to be scientific drawings of registered flowers are invented plants that never existed. "The artist seeks to break the scientific objectivity. He wants to show that it is not true because it is photography or science," says Legido. On his left, 12 vacuum bells protect dried tree leaves, tiny pieces of wood or garlic cloves on which are photographs of ancestors applied by the artist Lorena Cosba. “We wanted this space to show how the concept of botany changes with travel and exploration over time,” says the teacher when she reaches the next stage. Alfonso Galván's works convey surrealism and evasion while the more recent photographs of Paula Anta reveal a nature imprisoned by the industry. "These images show how green spaces have been conquered by the urban," says a viewer. In Tropología I, the Madrid artist Andrés Pachón, 35, plays with reality and incorporates the human being again into the purity of nature. Gardens and florilegios is the largest, most colorful and perhaps the most appealing room. The Faculty of Pharmacy of the UCM has yielded a dozen pieces that were used to teach biology in the twentieth century. They are reconstructed flowers with paper mache or jelly that measure about 40 centimeters, scattered around each corner like in a garden. Trees of life drawn by the Swedish artist Lotta Olsson rest in front of the work Eucaliptus Globulus, by the Chilean Rodrigo Arteaga, which seeks to denounce the death of nature. “Nature is a source of inspiration. Abstract art is born from the microscope sheets, ”says Castelo. In the last room and the darkest, Science and environment, details of the leaves and curious forms of the roots of the plants stand out. The main objective of this part is to demonstrate that “nature is to be heard and learn from it by sustainably mimicking its dynamics and processes,” explains Tonia Raquejo, a professor at the Faculty of Fine Arts of the UCM. The work Soup, by Mandy Barker, attracts the eyes. They are like pieces of flowers mixed in a black background, but, in reality, the composition is made of garbage. The movement of his figures follows an inspired flow of contaminated water to denounce consumption. Despite this clear message, the photographs of José Quintanilla represent a portal and the wheel of a car trapped between the plants and branches in the style of a spider web. His work and that of many others present at the Complutense Art Center definitely show that nature will survive us.

Leaders affirm that the objective of the Armed Forces is to eradicate the area's corals, on US orders. Bolivian Armed Forces (FFAA) troops entered Thursday on board eight buses, escorted by three armored tanker-type vehicles, to the Chapare region, in the Tropic of Cochabamba, to supposedly carry out relay activities and parachuting practices. According to the commander of the Ninth Division of the Army, Colonel Javier Espinoza Daza, it is a convoy with approximately 300 students from the Special Troop Instruction Center (CITE) that arrived for skydiving courses, "as has been the case for at least three years "in this area. However, days ago, the deposed president of Bolivia, Evo Morales, rejected this claim and denounced that the de facto government will start next Monday a plan to eradicate the area's corals, on US orders, "by land the successful model of social control weighted by the UN and the European Union. " Similarly, Morales warned this Friday that the military is preparing to repress the inhabitants of the tropics, one of its biggest political bastions, before the marches convened by coca growers in different cities of Bolivia on January 22. "The de facto government says that militarization of the Tropic seeks to relieve troops, then that it is for citizen security, and, finally, for a parachuting course. They do not know how to hide the war plan to repress," Morales wrote. After being consulted in this regard, the Minister of Defense, Luis Fernando López, said that the interim government does not need anyone's permission to enter Chapare. "Nobody can tell us that we have to warn, communicate, it is a dare. We do not have to ask anyone for permission and we will never do it. It is not so, we are simply fulfilling a tactical, strategic work, of the end of a parachuting course, nothing more, "López said from La Paz. However, coca growers reject the military presence in the area. "I feel that it is an act of provocation, insult and intimidation (...) We call serenity to the brothers of the Tropic area. We denounce that the Government is intimidating in the streets," the cocalero leader Leonardo Loza said in a press conference. . For Loza, it is contradictory that the de facto government speaks of peace and, at the same time, "send tanks to the tropics", so he warned that "if something happens, it will be entirely the responsibility" of Jeanine Añez and his team. According to the leader, it is an act of intimidation before the proximity of January 22, day for which mobilizations are enlisted nationwide to celebrate the Plurinational State Day, and listen to the message that the deposed president Evo Morales will give from Argentina . Since 1985, Morales is an advocate of coca cultivation, when he served as the union leader of coca growers in the Chapare region. The ex-president protects that item as part of the cultural identity of the Aymara Indians.

Welcome ?

When we talked about him during the past month we knew it was something big. The original Ford Mustang Bullitt, that 1968 GT Fastback unit that starred in the movie that bears his name with Steve McQueen at the wheel, was auctioned. There was no estimated price for its sale, but it was not necessary to be a genius to perceive that a record could be achieved. And indeed, so it has been, this copy finally sold for $ 3.74 million last weekend. With that outstanding figure it becomes the most expensive Ford Mustang in history. No wonder considering that it is a unique and unrepeatable unit. For the Bullitt film, two units of this very special Mustang were provided with Highland Green color paint and the rest of the modifications that have been replicated in the current special edition. One of them was discarded after being considered irreparable and the other is the one that was auctioned and that maintains its original state. Precisely that is the main peculiarity of this spectacular Mustang, which is exactly the same as when the film was shot. He received a series of modifications, such as reinforcements in the suspension to be able to withstand those 10 minutes of persecution through the streets of San Francisco. What remained unchanged was that V8 390 CI engine of the oval brand, which allowed it to exceed 300 hp and quite outstanding performance for the time. The history of this original Ford Mustang Bullitt is quite curious. After filming it was acquired by Robert Ross, an employee of Warner Bros., then it was handed over to Frank Marranca, a New Jersey detective, while in 1974 it was announced in Road & Track magazine. It was bought by Robert Kiernan, who was the owner until the auction, despite attempts by Steve McQueen himself, who wanted to recover the vehicle several times. When Kiernan became ill he stopped paying so much attention to his Mustang and when he died in 2014 it was his son who wanted to recover him. Luckily, the vehicle has taken the place in the history it deserved.
