That the SEAT Ateca has been one of the most successful cars of the past decade is no secret. The Spanish brand entered the crossover segment in 2016 with a compact model in which its philosophy was applied to its fingertips. Although it was a highly contested segment and had rivals such as the Nissan Qashqai, the public responded to the Ateca and quickly achieved very positive sales levels. After marketing more than 300,000 units worldwide and becoming prominent in the total market (more than 66,000 copies), it was decided to update the SEAT Ateca. If it was already a model with remarkable qualities, the goal was to make it the best compact SUV, an ambitious goal and, at the same time, difficult to achieve. Although after having tried it first-hand, it must be said that it has arguments to approach that goal. The design is not that it changed much, but it evolved enough so that the update is appreciated from the outside and it is also a language that is proven to be liked. The interior itself has had an exemplary renovation and is updated in the technological section. It is really complete in terms of connectivity options, so it will satisfy the most demanding users in this area. It was already quite spacious both in its cabin and in the trunk, so it has not been necessary to grow in this regard either. Where it does grow slightly is in its mechanical range. Between its three and four cylinder engines there are more efficient options, available with both the manual transmission and the automatic DSG. The pity is that this generation will not be able to incorporate the new plug-in hybrid powertrains. In any case, at the level of dynamic behavior we continue to face one of the best in the segment. The chassis is a strong point of the SEAT Ateca, which stands out from other rivals for its balance and precision. Arguments to be king? Definitely…

Humanity faces unprecedented revolutions, all our old stories are falling apart, and so far no new stories have emerged to replace them. How to prepare ourselves and our children for a world of unprecedented transformations and radical uncertainties? A newborn will now be 30-somethings in 2050. If all goes well, that baby will still be alive by 2100, and could even be an active citizen in the 22nd century. What are we to teach that boy or that girl to help them survive and prosper in the world of 2050 or the twenty-second century? What kinds of skills will you need to get a job and understand what's going on around you? Unfortunately, since no one knows what the world will be like in 2050 (not to mention 2100), we have no answers to these questions. Of course, humans could never accurately predict the future. But today it is more difficult than it has ever been, because once technology allows us to modify bodies, brains and minds, we can no longer be sure of anything. A thousand years ago, in 1018, people did not know much about the future, but they were convinced that the basic characteristics of human society would not change. Had we lived in China in 1018, we would not know that by 1050 the Song Empire could crumble, that the Kitans could invade from the north, or that the plague could kill millions. However, it would be clear to us that even in 1050, most people would still work as farmers and weavers, that rulers would still rely on humans to staff their armies and bureaucracies, that men would still dominate women, that life expectancy would still be around 40 years and that the human body would be exactly the same. So in 1018, poor Chinese parents taught their children to plant rice or weave silk, and wealthier parents taught their children to read Confucian classics, write calligraphy, or fight on horseback; and his daughters to be modest and obedient housewives. It was evident that such skills would still be needed in 1050. On the contrary, today we have no idea what China or the rest of the world will be like in 2050. We do not know what people will do for a living, we do not know how armies and bureaucracies will work, and we do not know what the relations of gender. Some people are likely to live much longer than today, and the human body could experience an unprecedented revolution thanks to bioengineering and direct brain-computer interfaces. Hence, many of the things kids learn today will be irrelevant in 2050. Too many schools today focus on rote information. In the past it made sense, because it was in short supply, and even the slow trickle of existing information was repeatedly blocked by censorship. If you lived, say, in a small town in Mexico in 1800, you would hardly know much about the rest of the world. There was no radio, no television, no newspapers or public libraries. And even if you were cultured and had access to a private library, there wasn't much to read, other than novels and religious treatises. The Spanish empire harshly censored all locally printed texts, and only allowed a few revised publications to be imported. The thing was very similar if you lived in a provincial city in Russia, India, Turkey or China. When modern schools appeared, which taught all children to read and write and gave them the basics of geography, history and biology, they were a huge improvement. In contrast, in the 21st century we are inundated with information, and not even the censors try to prevent it. Instead, they are busy spreading misinformation or distracting us with unimportant things. If we live in a Mexican provincial town and have a smartphone, we can spend many entire lives just reading Wikipedia, watching TED talks, and taking free online courses. No government can think of hiding all the information it does not like. On the other hand, it is alarming how easy it is to flood people with conflicting reports and false leads. People around the world are only a click away from the latest reports on the bombing of Aleppo or the melting of the polar ice caps, but there are so many conflicting reports that we don't know what to believe. Plus, there are so many more things that are just a click away as well, making it difficult to focus; And when the politics or science seem too complicated, it's tempting to drop by to watch some hilarious kitten videos, celebrity gossip, or porn. In such a world, the last thing a teacher has to provide their students is more information. They already have too much. Instead, people need the ability to make sense of information, to tell the difference between what is and is not important and, above all, to combine many bits of information into a general picture of the world. Truth be told, that has been the ideal of liberal education for centuries, but so far many Western schools have been quite lazy in fulfilling it. Teachers allowed themselves to focus on accumulating data while encouraging students to 'think for themselves'. Due to their fear of authoritarianism, liberal schools had a particular horror of great storytelling. They assumed that as long as we gave students a lot of data and a little freedom, students would create their own picture of the world, and even if this generation could not synthesize all the data into a meaningful and coherent world account, there would be plenty of time to build a good synthesis in the future. Now we have run out of time. The decisions we make in the coming decades will shape the future of life itself, and we can make these decisions only from our current world view. If this generation lacks a complete conception about it, the future of life will be decided at random. 'Hack' humans So the best advice I can give a 15-year-old boy or girl stuck in an outdated school somewhere in Mexico, India, or Alabama is: don't trust adults too much. Most have good intentions, but they don't quite understand the world. In the past, following adults was a safe bet, because they knew the world very well and the world changed very slowly. But the 21st century is going to be different. Due to the increasing speed of change, you can never be sure whether what adults are telling you is timeless wisdom or old-fashioned prejudice. So what can you trust? Maybe in technology? It is an even riskier bet. Technology can help you a lot, but if it ends up wielding great power over your life, you could become a hostage to their plans. Thousands of years ago, humans invented agriculture, but this technology enriched only a tiny elite, while enslaving most of its fellow humans. Most of the people found themselves pulling weeds, hauling water, and harvesting corn under the scorching sun from dawn to dusk. It can also happen to you. Technology is not bad. If you know what you want to do in life, maybe it will help you get it. But if you don't know, technology will find it very easy to shape your goals for you and take control of your life. Especially since technology is increasingly sophisticated when it comes to understanding humans, so you can see yourself serving it more and more, instead of it serving you. Have you seen those zombies roaming the streets with their faces glued to their smartphones? Do you think they control technology, or does it control them? So do you have to trust yourself? This sounds great in "Sesame Street" or an old-fashioned Disney movie, but in real life it doesn't work as much. Even Disney has realized it. Like Riley Andersen, most people hardly know themselves, and when they try to 'listen to themselves' they easily fall prey to external mani[CENSORED]tions. The voice we heard in our heads was never trustworthy, because it always reflected state propaganda, ideological brainwashing, and commercial advertising, not to mention biochemical viruses. As biotechnology and machine learning improve, it will become easier to mani[CENSORED]te people's inner emotions and desires, and it will be more dangerous than ever to simply follow our hearts. When Coca-Cola, Amazon, Baidu or the government know how to pull the strings of our hearts and push the buttons of our brains, will you still be able to appreciate the difference between you and their experts in 'marketing'? To be successful in such a daunting task, you will have to put a lot of effort into knowing your operating system better. To know what you are and what you want from life. This is, of course, the oldest advice in the book: know yourself. For thousands of years, philosophers and prophets have encouraged people to know themselves. But this advice was never more urgent than in the 21st century, because, unlike in the time of Lao-Tzu or Socrates, you now have serious competition. Coca-Cola, Amazon, Baidu and the government are rushing to hack you, to 'hack' you. Not to 'hack' your smartphone, your computer or your bank account: they are in a race to 'hack' you and your organic operating system. You may have heard that we live in an age of 'hacking' computers, but that's only part of the truth. Actually, we live in the age of 'hacking' humans. Right now, the algorithms are watching you. They observe where you go, what you buy, who you see yourself with. Soon they will monitor all your steps, your breathing, your heartbeat. To get to know you better and better, they rely on big data and machine learning. And when these algorithms know you better than you know yourself, they will control and mani[CENSORED]te you, and you will be able to do little about it. You will live in 'The Matrix' or 'The Truman Show'. Ultimately, it's a simple empirical question: if algorithms really understand what's going on inside you better than you do, authority will pass to them. Of course, you could be perfectly happy giving up all authority to algorithms and trusting them to decide for you and the rest of the world. If so, just relax and enjoy the ride. You don't need to do anything - the algorithms will take care of everything. If, on the other hand, you want to retain some control of your personal existence and the future of life, you will have to outrun the algorithms, faster than Amazon and the Government, and get to know yourself before they do. To run fast, don't take a lot of luggage with you. Leave all your illusions behind. They weigh a lot.

British Prime Minister Boris Johnson has announced a month-long lockdown for England. Portugal has also ordered the confinement of 70% of its po[CENSORED]tion. While in Euskal Herria the restrictive measures are divided between the curfew and the perimeter closure of the Basque Autonomous Community and the Foral Community of Navarra, and the domiciliary confinement imposed in Iparralde by the French State, the rest of the European countries are also returning to take measures reminiscent of those that swept across the continent during the first wave of the coronavirus pandemic. In the United Kingdom, the British Prime Minister, Boris Johnson, has announced this Saturday a one-month confinement for England that will begin next Thursday and end in principle on December 2. The po[CENSORED]tion will only be able to leave home for justified reasons: educational, health, work or to stock up. Johnson has appeared at a Downing Street press conference and stressed that "there is no alternative" to this second confinement to stop the coronavirus infections. "No responsible prime minister" could ignore the increase in infections in England, he stressed. In addition, he has warned that this winter there could be more deaths than in the first wave of the pandemic last spring if drastic measures are not taken. Italy was the worst hit European country at the beginning of the pandemic, but it has been able to contain the second wave better than some neighbors. The Government is already studying a new decree that will toughen the current restrictive measures. Daily cases of coronavirus have exceeded 30,000 infections this Friday for the first time. "We have to analyze whether it is necessary to anticipate movements to prevent the curve from getting worse. Incessant meetings are being held for the next decree, which will undoubtedly be more restrictive," said Foreign Minister Luigi di Maio. The last measure approved has been the closure of bars and restaurants at 6:00 p.m., and the total closure of cinemas, theaters, gyms and other activities. Di Maio has guaranteed that the Executive's objective is to keep productive activity and schools with face-to-face classes running. In Germany, new restrictive measures agreed to by the federal and federal governments will come into force next Monday that contemplate the closure in November of bars and restaurants, as well as leisure, cultural offerings and amateur sports in closed spaces, but as far as possible school activity and commerce will be maintained. Belgium has announced a battery of new restrictions, including the closure of all its "non-essential" shops until mid-December, with the aim of "avoiding the collapse" of health services. "They are the measures of the last chance", stressed Prime Minister Alexander De Croo. The President of Wallonia, Elio di Rupo, called it "confinement without isolation". The new measures are almost the same for the entire country, and they come into effect from Monday, November 2 to Sunday, December 13. Portugal has also exceeded its record of infections and deaths in a single day since the pandemic began, as well as the number of people admitted to intensive care, which exceeds the peak recorded during the first wave. The Portuguese Government has announced the confinement of municipalities with a high risk of contagion of coronavirus as of November 4, a measure that reaches 70% of the po[CENSORED]tion and that establishes that one should only leave home for essential activities such as work, go to school or shopping. In Sweden, particularly hit in the first wave compared to neighboring countries, the daily data is also record high. However, the main epidemiologist of the Government, Anders Tegnell, has affirmed that Sweden has registered "a slightly smaller increase" than other countries in the area, and has defended that the "voluntary measures" promoted by the authorities seem to have worked. The most po[CENSORED]ted regions have recommended their citizens not to go to shopping centers, museums, gyms, bookstores and swimming pools until November 18 to minimize risks. Tegnell has also exhorted the po[CENSORED]tion to avoid contact with people they do not live with and to work from home whenever possible. In Austria, the Government has announced a new, more moderate confinement, starting next Tuesday and for a month, with restrictions on movement and private contacts, as well as the closure of hotels and gastronomy, leisure and cultural venues, among other measures . Among others, a curfew is imposed from 8:00 p.m. to prevent meetings and private parties at night, but it is allowed to leave the house individually to walk, play sports and work. The new restrictions will last until November 30 and the hope is that "it will have the desired effect of achieving a massive decrease in the contagion figures, in order to be able to gradually ease them in December," according to Federal Chancellor Sebastian Kurz. The measure has been decided today in an extraordinary council of ministers and will be applied as a general rule to municipalities with an incidence greater than 240 cases per 100,000 inhabitants in the last 14 days, a situation in which there are currently 121 Portuguese towns, among these are Lisbon and Porto, with 7.1 million inhabitants. "If we do not have to do anything essential, we must stay at home. We can go to work, to school, to shop, go out to do physical exercise, assist people who need it ... But the rule is that we must stay at home ", explained the prime minister, António Costa, after the advice.

When we talk about the facelift of the Fiat Type, one of the main novelties was the arrival of a new variant, previously unpublished. Sitting on the compact five-door bodywork, the Fiat Tipo Cross makes its star appearance. As its name suggests, what it seeks is to take advantage of that pull that crossovers currently have and it does so by applying a formula that we have already seen in other brands and models. It is a transformation on an aesthetic level, purely of design, to gain appeal and better enter the eyes of some users. Because precisely the Type Cross seeks to attract a different audience, offering more emotions and maintaining values such as interior space or affordable price. It introduces the new front with the renewed logo with the name of Fiat el letters, as well as that distinctive grill and bumpers. But at the same time, the height is raised by almost 4 centimeters thanks to a recalibrated suspension and new rims shod by larger tires. This solution, which also applies to the Fiat 500X, allows for a higher driving position and more comfortable access. In total they are almost 7 centimeters more than the conventional Type and it has details such as the moldings of the wheel arches or the protections on the bumpers. Not to mention the roof bars, an item that was only available on the Type Station Wagon to date. For the rest, it maintains the same novelties as the rest of the Tipo family. Inside it has the Uconnect multimedia system with a 10.25-inch screen and some benefits such as connectivity with Apple CarPlay and wireless Android Auto. Also a complete list of driving aids, which includes systems such as signal recognition, intelligent speed assist, lane control, fatigue alert or blind spot detector. As for the mechanical range, it is a bit limited by only having the new 1.0 GSE T3 available in gasoline. This turbocharged three-cylinder engine replaces the previous 1.4 and has 100 hp and 190 Nm of torque. On the other hand, there are two four-cylinder MultiJet diesel options, with 95 or 130 hp.

The great of the NBA, LeBron James, acquires a luxurious mansion, belonging to a great television legend, for $ 36.8 million in Beverly Hills. LeBron James's interest in a new mansion became known a few months ago and it has not been until now that the great legend of the Los Angeles Lakers finally acquired an imposing property. And it is that, as expected, the mansion acquired by LeBron is not just any property, since the basketball player appropriated a luxurious mansion of 36.8 million dollars in Beverly Hills, whose previous owner was nothing more and nothing less than the legend of telenovelas, Lee Phillip Bell, co-creator of the most relevant telenovelas in the history of American television, "The Bold and the Beautiful" and "The Young & The Restless", as reported by TMZ. It is worth mentioning that, unfortunately, Lee Phillip Bell passed away at the beginning of this year, which is why his property was put up for sale for the modest amount of 39 million dollars. Among the list of potential buyers for the mansion were entrepreneurs Richard Hilton and Jeff Hyland, however, it was LeBron who ended up acquiring the property. The details about LeBron James' luxurious mansion According to what is expressed in the aforementioned medium, this luxurious property has nothing more and nothing less than 9,100 square feet in the main house, in addition to 2 guest houses. Inside the main house there is a projection room, a large swimming pool, tennis court, motor court, several fountains and of course, a sublime view of the city. Although of course, for the moment, the basketball great will not be able to move since he is still in the NBA bubble in Orlando. The immense fortune of LeBron James Although for many this may be an insane sum to pay for a property, the truth is that for the great of the Lakers it is nothing, because this season alone LeBron earned approximately $ 37 million with his contract in the NBA. In fact, the Celebrity Net Worth site claims that LeBron James' fortune is valued at $ 480 million, with an average of $ 100 million as annual income.

The 6.8-magnitude earthquake has caused at least a dozen buildings to collapse in various neighborhoods of Izmir (Turkey), causing small tsunamis. At least twelve people have died and another 120 have been injured in the Turkish city of Izmir, during the earthquake that hit the Aegean coast of Turkey and the Greek islands this Friday, reports the Turkish emergency service AFAD. The earthquake, measuring 6.8 magnitude on the Ritcher scale, with its epicenter in the Aegean Sea, occurred at 11:51 GMT and caused at least a dozen buildings to collapse in various neighborhoods of Izmir, the third largest Turkey city. The rescue efforts, coordinated by AFAD, are underway and so far four bodies have been recovered and 120 injured have been treated, according to this public body, but the work continues. One dead and five injured in Samos (Greece) The strong earthquake has also left two dead and six slightly injured, as well as material damage to several buildings on the Greek island of Samos, which was only 13 kilometers from the epicenter. The deceased are two teenagers who after the earthquake were going home from school when they were trapped by a wall that has collapsed in a narrow street. The bodies of the minors have been located thanks to the fact that their parents have found their mobile phones next to the rubble. In addition, the earthquake has caused several small tsunamis, which have flooded many businesses located on the seafront and have flooded the roads closest to the coast.

What began in 1920 as a company dedicated to cork and its derivatives, has now become a benchmark in the automotive world. Having the opportunity to test drive the Mazda MX-5 RF is the best way to celebrate the centennial of the Hiroshima brand. The main reason is that it is one of the few current cars that have that X factor, that something so special that you can only experience getting behind the wheel as we are going to do next. It must be said that the Japanese sports car has more than three decades behind it and that this is the fourth generation, the ND. In this time it has become the best-selling convertible in the world and, in addition, now there are two options to choose from. On the one hand, the more traditional and purist soft-top convertible is maintained, and on the other hand this RF also recently arrived, the Retractable Fastback that introduces a retractable hardtop to be a different option. The tendency to buy only SUVs and their reduced practicality has significantly reduced the number of compact openers available on the market. Despite being practically niche vehicles, they still have an aura that makes them very special in the eyes of the most purist fans. If they are accompanied by qualities such as the naturally aspirated engine, propulsion or low weight like this Mazda MX-5 RF; the formula gains integers enormously as we will analyze next. In a world in which cars have grown in size generation after generation, the truth is that it is surprising to have such a small size as this Mazda MX-5 RF. It is a two-seater that does not even reach 4 meters long, specifically it is 3,915 mm in length, 1,735 mm in width and just 1,236 mm in height. The wheelbase is 2,130 mm. When we see the exterior, the truth is that the Kodo design language so characteristic of the brand is perfectly perceived. In this convertible, it is transformed to have sharper lines and is enhanced by a front end with an elongated hood, teardrop-shaped LED headlights and a grill located in a very low position. On both sides there are small air intakes in which the fog lamps have been placed. The side of the Mazda MX-5 RF is probably its most unique sight. This is where it differs from the soft top variant, because here we have a targa silhouette that is achieved with these humps behind the seats, which correspond to the rear arches. With that long hood, the cabin is in a very backward position. Although the really interesting thing is to show you the opening of the retractable hard roof, something that is done in just 12 seconds by pressing and holding a button. When it is convertible, there are no pure cabrio shapes left, but rather the targa that we mentioned by only dispensing with the roof section just above the heads. In any case, we move on to a well-recognizable rear in which circular rear lights stand out that want to wink at previous generations, a rather bulky bumper that gives it presence and a double exhaust outlet on the right side.
