The Ford Maverick model was awarded as the Best Truck of the Year, while the Ford Bronco was awarded as the Best SUV SUV, and Honda Civic, as Best Car of the Year. The timeless Civic, which began in 1972 and is now in its 11th generation, clinched the North American Car of the Year title after beating another classic, the Volkswagen Golf, and the first product of the startup Lucid. , the luxury electric Air. Jack Nerad, vice president of NACTOY, the group that has presented North American vehicle of the year awards since 1994, said in a statement that "if automakers were limited to producing just one car, the Honda Civic would be that model." Nerad added that the Honda vehicle combines virtually "every positive attribute" imaginable. The new Ford Maverick claimed the coveted Truck of the Year title in North America's most competitive segment, beating the electric Rivian R1T and Hyundai Santa Cruz in the final vote. Karl Brauer, Chairman of the NACTOY Board of Directors, explained that "Ford has revived the compact pickup segment with one of the most attractive packages you can buy in 2022." Brauer said the Maverick's most impressive feature is its value, "an increasingly rare feature in modern vehicles." The latest award, Best SUV SUV of the Year, went to the Ford Bronco, which surpassed the Genesis GV70 and the electric Hyundai IONIQ 5. The judges noted that the Bronco is a "credible competitor" to the classic Jeep Wrangler, capable of comparing itself to the Land Rover Defender in trim and aesthetics. The NACTOY Awards have been awarded each year since 1994 by a group of 50 automotive journalists from the United States and Canada. NACTOY President Gary Witzenburg called 2021 "a very significant year in automotive history" for the emergence of revolutionary electric vehicles from numerous brands, as well as the creation of new segments in the sector. This year, 36 vehicles were entered in the NACTOY competition. After three rounds of voting, the judges chose the winners.

Web: https://www.abc.es/opinion/abci-editorial-abc-gobierno-desquiciado-202201120147_noticia.html The internal polls must go very badly for the PSOE to be forced, in the unprecedented way in which it did yesterday, to scorch a minister like Luis Planas, head of Agriculture, to counteract the damage that Alberto Garzón and United We Can are doing to the sector meat in full pre-campaign of the elections in Castilla y León. The internal crisis in the Government is not one more to which the two parties of the coalition have us accustomed from day one. This is not another typical struggle of this government of battered checks and balances and mutual jealousy, and they no longer even try to hide their differences, as they did in the past when Pablo Iglesias was vice president. The only plausible explanation is that both parties have entered an electoral panic because with just two weeks to go before the campaign begins, it is not logical that the eternal latent battle of egos and disavowals has so explicitly exploded into the air. Planas yesterday offered almost a dozen statements to different media attacking Alberto Garzón. He was overwhelming, overreacted even. It had never happened before with any minister, in the same way that it had never happened until now that the leaders of Podemos, including Iglesias, stormed directly against Pedro Sánchez. There had been skirmishes between Yolanda Díaz and José Luis Escrivá or Nadia Calviño; between Ione Belarra and Margarita Robles; between Irene Montero and Carmen Calvo…, but the direct target was never the Prime Minister. The tension, dragged by lousy polls for both parties, has even reached the point that Iglesias himself has attacked Sánchez, accusing him of spreading "hoaxes" about Garzón. However, it would be naive to claim that the coalition is in danger. It is true that many ministers do not support each other and that coexistence within the Council of Ministers can clearly be improved. When Planas was asked yesterday whether Garzón should resign, he responded eloquently with a simple "no comment." Podemos is causing irreparable damage to the prestige of Spain and the reputation of many business sectors by pure ideological indoctrination. But it is Sánchez who consents because, above temporary campaigns, the only thing that interests the PSOE is to exhaust the legislature by forcing whatever. And for Podemos, exactly the same: it is more motivating to cling to ministries than any consumer habit or the well-being of citizens. That is why the coalition is in poor health. Today, the PSOE without Podemos, like Podemos without the PSOE, can only be synonymous with the convening of general elections, and that is not on their agendas. Garzón lied because neither Spain exports meat in poor condition, nor can the accusation of animal abuse in our meat industries be happily sustained before the press. If Garzón has minimal evidence, he should go to the Prosecutor's Office because it is evident that Planas, precisely the minister in charge of food, does not seem to have anything to say to him. The true teamwork of this cabinet consists of stepping on each other, putting the credibility of our country at risk. Enough has been said about Garzón and the inanity of the Ministry. Also from his toxic prejudices, for example, towards macro-farms, which logically have their pros and cons. But there is nothing more absurd than attacking a substantial part of the electorate a month after the polls open, and that reveals a progressive unhingedness of the PSOE and Podemos.

The Spanish Carlos Sainz signed a meritorious day since, due to the problems in one of its shock absorbers of the innovative Audi hybrid vehicle, he was relegated to the 29th starting position, from which he accused the dust of his predecessors. Even so, he imposed a strong rhythm from the first moment, even becoming the fastest in kilometer 121 of the 421 that the timed section (special) had this Sunday, but he left 3'20 ”in the next 100 and already could not get them back; ending at 7'43 ”from Loeb. The French driver regains second place overall, to the detriment of Saudi Yazeed Al Rajhi (Overdrive Toyota), after once again showing that he has pace; but Al-Attiyah is aware that what he has to do to achieve his fourth Dakar (winner in 2011, 2015 and 2019) is to mark him closely. He did this throughout the special and gave up 5'26 ”, which leaves him with a 44'59” advantage in the general classification with five stages to play, and the last one without great difficulties. The Argentine Lucio Álvarez and his co-driver, the Spanish Armand Monleon (Overdrive Toyota) recovered the fourth position of the general since the South African Ginniel de Villiers (Toyota Gazoo) had problems in his vehicle at kilometer 198 that made him lose more than an hour. Although in their fight for the third box of the podium, they lost three minutes and 34 seconds to Al Rajhi. For her part, Nani Roma (Bahrain Raid Xtreme), with no options in the general classification after suffering a capsize, finished 15'50 ”behind the winner and teammate Loeb. Five first classified of the seventh stage: 1 - Sebastién Loeb (FRA-Bahrain Raid Xtreme): 3h9'32 ” 2 - Nasser Al-Attiyah (CAT-Toyota): 5'26 ” 3 - Carlos Sainz (ESP-Audi): at 8'43 ” 4 - Stéphane Peterhansel (FRA-Audi): at 9'40 ” 5 - Yazeed Al Rajhi (SAU-Overdrive Toyota): 10'3 ”.

So far the death of "a total of 10 people" has been confirmed, Marcos de Souza Pimenta, one of the organizations investigating the case together with the Firefighters and the regional commissioner of the Civil Police in the town of Passos, told reporters. The marine. The two people who remained missing since the accident were found this Sunday by rescuers, who continued to work in the area. On Saturday noon, a large rock fragment detached itself from a ravine and fell, perpendicular, on top of four boats that were strolling through the lake, a tourist region of Minas Gerais. In dramatic videos shared on social networks you can see the exact moment when the massif detaches itself and falls on the boats, to the panic of those who witness the scene from the other boats. One of those records shows the minute before the collapse, in which several people warned that "many stones are falling" and yelled at the occupants of the other boats to move away from the wall. The deceased were part of the same group of family and friends who were traveling in the boat that suffered the greatest impact during the rockfall, according to firefighters. During the searches "bodies and body fragments turned up," explained Pimenta. The victims were of Brazilian nationality and were between 14 and 68 years old, according to preliminary investigations. More than 30 people were injured, nine of whom required hospitalization. Brazilian President Jair Bolsonaro shared some videos of the tragedy on Saturday, which he described as a "regrettable disaster." The causes of the collapse will still be determined, but the intense rains that have fallen in recent days in southeastern Brazil favored the landslide, firefighters and specialists point out. A great tourist attraction The Capitolio region, 300 kilometers from the capital Belo Horizonte, attracts many Brazilian tourists with its rock walls and waterfalls that surround the green waters of Lake Furnas, formed by the hydroelectric dam with the same name. "The peculiar nature of that place, all the tourist attraction that the landscape provides, with the reservoir that forms the lake, the waterfalls and waterfalls, is created by the erosion of the relief, a natural and constant process," he explained to Frace Press (Afp) the geographer Eduardo Bulhoes, from the Fluminense Federal University (UFF). Added to this natural erosion are intense rains, which make landslides like the one that occurred on Saturday, called "mass movements", more likely. "December and January are the months with the most rain in Capitolio and consequently the months with the greatest potential for mass movements," said Bulhoes. To avoid further accidents, it would be advisable to "limit the recreational area and keep walks away from the walls and waterfalls" in the season of greatest risk, concluded the specialist.

The number of cars manufactured in Mexico was 2.98 million units in 2021, 2% less compared to the 3.04 million vehicles produced in 2020. Mexican vehicle exports rose just 0.94% in 2021, from 2.68 million units to 2.71 million units. Domestic sales showed more positive data, increasing by 6.80% year-on-year. In 2020, just over 950,000 light vehicles were sold and in 2021 they rose to more than one million. DECEMBER FALLS As has happened in recent months, December was again a bad month for the production, export and sale of vehicles, a phenomenon largely derived from the shortage of chips and supplies at a global level. If compared to the same month a year ago, vehicle production fell by 16.51%, from about 254,000 units to about 212,000 in the last month of 2021. While exports fell by 17.31% to take only 227,465 units abroad. In addition, sales to the public in the domestic market suffered a 7.80% drop from 105,603 units in December 2020 to 97,365 in December 2021. The importance of the automotive industry lies in the fact that it represents 3.8% of the national gross domestic product (GDP) and 20.5% of the manufacturing gross domestic product (GDP), more than any other sector, according to the Mexican Association of the Automotive Industry (AMIA). The automotive sector was completely paralyzed during the health emergency decreed by the Government of Mexico in April and May 2020, the year in which GDP contracted 8.2%.

Web: https://www.abc.es/historia/abci-brutal-asesinato-nicolas-y-cinco-hijos-primer-gran-crimen-terror-rojo-202201071259_noticia.html The execution of Tsar Nicholas II and his five children was as traumatic in 1918 as it remains controversial a century later. Sometimes the news about the Romanov family is the most picturesque, like the one that appeared a week ago, when it was reported that employees of the Hermitage in St. Petersburg, Russia's most important museum, had found a 118-year-old bonbon in the sleeve of one of the dresses of his sister, Grand Duchess Ksenia Aleksándrovna, one of the few who managed to escape from the escabechina. As explained by the restorer Galina Fiodorova, the sweet was hidden in the sleeve and fell when the specialist proposed to check the state of the imperial garment. "It was pink in color and an irregular shape," she declared. She later recounted that she was carried away by instinct and licked him, at which point she realized that he was a hottie and that he had been bitten by the Grand Duchess. Other times, the news is much more important, such as the one we advanced in July 2020, when the discovery of the bodies of two of the sons of Tsar Nicholas II was confirmed. Thus ended one of the great mysteries of that murder that changed history and that neither the Russian Army nor Alfonso XIII himself could prevent. "It was a shameful crime," said Boris Yeltsin in 1998. The King of Spain tried by all means to repatriate them to Madrid when he learned that the Russian royal family was in danger. He spent weeks pressuring the new Bolshevik government to let her out safely. He even wrote to King George V of England, Kaiser Wilhelm II of Germany and Pope Benedict XV to help him bring them to Spain as refugees, but the new communist government had already declared Nicholas II "guilty, before the people, of innumerable bloody crimes ”and he did not succeed. The crime When the Russian Army arrived in the city of Yekaterinburg, on July 30, 1918, to try to save the Tsar and his family, held in the Ipatiev house by the Bolsheviks after the triumph of the revolution, two weeks ago they had been children. brutally executed. Since then, the world has wondered where their bodies went. At dawn from July 16 to 17, 1918, Nicolás II, his wife and his children - Olga, Tatiana, María, Anastasia and Alexei - were transferred to the basement of the aforementioned house under the pretext of taking a photograph of them. . When everyone had positioned themselves, confident that it would only be a portrait, the head of the squad arrived from Moscow to act as executioner, Yakov Yurovsky, entered with a revolver and several soldiers armed with rifles and bayonets and informed them that they had been sentenced to death ... and the carnage began. In the first place they were shot for several minutes together with several servants, their doctor and the dog. In view of the fact that some of them did not finish dying, they had to be finished off with the knife and with the bayonets. The revolution thus ensured the future of the regime, which would take shape shortly after in the USSR. A year later, in 1919, the royal investigator Nikolai Sokolov claimed that the murderers had "stripped the bodies and loaded them onto a truck to transport them to a salt mine. On the way, however, the vehicle broke down and the Bolsheviks decided to hastily dig a shallow ditch on the side of the road. Then, to make it difficult to recognize the bodies, they sprayed them with sulfuric acid before filling the pit. ' A century of research The last episode of this mystery with more than a century of history took place in the summer of 2020, when the Russian Government announced by surprise that the human remains found in the summer of 2007 near Yekaterinburg belonged to the two sons of the last Tsar of Unidentified Russia: Princess Maria and Crown Prince Alexei, 19 and 13 at the time of their death. An identification that has been produced "through molecular genetic tests carried out on the remains of two people discovered near the place where nine other dead lie", announced the expert of the Russian Investigation Committee, Marina Molodtsova, in an interview with the newspaper "Izvestia ". Molodtsova confirmed the biological relationship between Alexei and María with their parents and warned that the small number of bone fragments found suggested that one or more burial sites of other members of the Royal Family could be found near the place of the discovery. Likewise, the Investigation Committee denied, as had been defended in recent decades, that the corpses were "eliminated by applying sulfuric acid and fire," according to EP. Six decades of silence have passed since Sokolov's investigation. In 1979, at last, a group of dissident investigators found the possible remains of the tsar, his wife and three of his daughters. Fearing reprisals from the USSR authorities, they kept their discovery a secret for 10 years. They made it public in 1989, during Perestroika, the thaw period that led to the dismemberment of the communist bloc two years later. In 1994, another team led by Dr. Peter Gill confirmed that the bodies had suffered violence and had gunshot and bayonet wounds, as stated in the main account. The faces had been beaten to the ground and their identification was difficult, requiring DNA analysis. The Orthodox Church All these bone fragments were also buried in the Cathedral of Saint Paul and Saint Peter in Saint Petersburg in 1998, although the Russian Orthodox Church did not recognize them for lack of evidence, they argued. In September 2015, she asked a team of Russian investigators to exhume the remains to confirm the Romanovs' ties to other relatives buried elsewhere in the country through further DNA tests. At the same time, the disputed and self-proclaimed heir to the imperial throne, Maria Vladimirovna, asked prosecutors to reopen the investigation into the murders. In July 2018, the Russian Investigative Committee confirmed that the remains of the people found near Yekaterinburg belonged to the Romanov family and their entourage, and that the man investigators identified as Nicholas II was closely related to the father of the latter. emperor, Alexander III. With the discovery of 2020, Russia closed one of the most shameful pages in its history, and it did so with a procession of 10,000 people who venerate the Tsar as a saint. “By the will of the revolutionary people, the bloody Tsar has happily perished in Yekaterinburg. Long live the red terror! ”, Could be read in the Russian newspaper‘ Biednata ’in 1918.

But it will only be necessary when you want to access the nightlife venues, that is, cocktail bars and discos. This was confirmed this Monday by the president of the Board, Juanma Moreno, after the celebration of the committee of experts that has analyzed the evolution of the pandemic. Moreno has pointed out that if you do not have the Covid passport, you can enter these premises with a negative PCR or a negative antigen test. According to the Minister of Health and Families, the need to present a Covid passport, test or negative PCR will only be to access the interior of the nightlife venues, not for the exterior.

Several years ago a new virus called LemonDuck was discovered, which uses vulnerabilities to steal data and mine cryptocurrencies. After a long time, it has been seen that Lemonduck has evolved and now attacks the Linux system. It is very rare that there is a virus that attacks Linux like the case that is presented to us today with LemonDuck. Viruses are usually made for the most widespread systems from which it is most likely to profit economically. For this reason, we almost only hear about Windows viruses, not so much about Mac or Linux viruses. Linux vulnerabilities give way to LemonDuck virus Among the new malicious functions that this new version of LemonDuck has, it is stealing credentials, deactivating computer security controls, going to the mail application and sending mass emails impersonating the identity of the sender, and opening security holes by itself to make it much easier to make future attacks. Without a doubt, it is a potentially dangerous virus, now more than it attacks Linux systems. Linux is not the most widespread desktop operating system, but it is widely used in massive storage, data centers and more services due to its versatility. And now all these devices are at risk of being exposed and being used for malicious purposes. Some flaws Lemonduck can take advantage of: CVE-2019-0708, CVE-2017-0144 CVE-2020-0796 CVE-2017-8464 CVE-2021-27065 CVE-2021-26855 CVE-2021-26857 CVE-2021-26858 We are advised to patch and fix these security flaws if we can. Although this virus is especially focused on users in China, we must not lower our guard because it has been seen in systems in the United States, United Kingdom and the European Union, among others. In addition, despite the fact that in this news we have emphasized that LemonDuck attacks Linux users, if we have Windows we will also be exposed, so we have to review the files and our security systems.

Link Web: https://www.portalautomotriz.com/noticias/corporativo-e-industria/el-grupo-volkswagen-aumenta-las-perspectivas-para-2021-tras This positive development was driven in particular by the premium brands Audi and Porsche and by Volkswagen Financial Services. The impacts of the Covid-19 pandemic and the global semiconductor shortage were successfully contained. There was strong customer demand for the Group's attractive model range as markets continued to recover. As a result, deliveries increased by 27.9 percent to 5.0 (3.9) million vehicles during the weakest period of the previous year, which was affected by the pandemic. Sales revenue increased even more strongly by 34.9 percent to € 129.7 (96.1) billion. The operating result was 11.4 billion euros (first half of 2020 before special items: –0.8 billion euros), far exceeding the previous record of 10 billion euros (before special items) of the year prior to the crisis 2019, with a strong 8.8 (first semester of 2020 before special items: –0.8 percent). The higher gains were mainly due to higher vehicle sales, improvements in the product mix and prices, as well as positive effects of the valuation of raw material hedges. Extraordinary restructuring expenses of € 700 million had a negative impact. Work on ongoing fixed cost programs was vigorously pursued. The Automotive Division generated a very high adjusted net cash flow of 12.3 (-2.3) billion euros and, therefore, once again demonstrated the great efficiency of its business model. The Division's net liquidity continued to grow to a very strong level of € 35 billion. The acquisition of Navistar and its financial impact are not included in the figures. As a result of extremely good business performance in the first half of the year, the Volkswagen Group has raised its operating performance outlook on sales for the full year 2021 by 0.5 percent, from 6.0 to 7.5 percent. Herbert Diess, CEO of the Volkswagen Group said: “We maintain our accelerated pace, both from an operational and strategic point of view. The record result in the first half of the year is clear proof of how strong our brands are and how attractive their products are. The premium segment performed especially well with double-digit returns, as did Financial Services. Our electricity offensive is gathering momentum and we will continue to increase its pace in the coming months. We are also realigning the company with our new New Auto group strategy so that we can take advantage of future earnings funds. By doing so, we are preparing Volkswagen to play a leading role in the new world of mobility. " Arno Antlitz, Volkswagen Group CFO: “The financial performance of the Volkswagen Group in the first half of the year impressively demonstrates the strength of our company. Our operating return on sales after six months was 8.8 percent. In particular, the second quarter was exceptionally strong. Our net cash flow of € 10.2 billion is also a solid result and was achieved despite our considerable future investments. We have successfully contained the impacts of semiconductor bottlenecks to date, although we anticipate somewhat more pronounced effects in the third quarter. However, our assessment of our business performance for the year as a whole has improved even more, so we have raised our outlook. " Operating business remains strong In the first half of the year, the Volkswagen Group increased its global deliveries significantly by 27.9 percent to 5.0 million vehicles during the same period last year, which was affected by the Covid-19 pandemic. The world market share of passenger cars declined slightly by 0.2 percentage points to 12.6 percent in the same period. While the Group was able to increase its market share significantly in its local market in Europe and North America, it recently saw declines in China, its largest single market, due to semiconductor bottlenecks. As planned, the Group has further increased the pace of its successful electric offensive. A total of 171,000 fully electric vehicles (BEVs) were delivered worldwide at the end of June, more than double the previous year period (+165 percent). After 60,000 BEV was delivered to customers in the first quarter, that figure increased significantly as planned to 111,000 BEV in the second quarter. The ratio of Modular Electric Drive Toolkit (MEB) -based vehicles to all BEVs was already over 60 percent in the second quarter. BEV's acceleration will accelerate further in the course of the year due to the expanded model range. The Group has also systematically expanded its model portfolio with a Plug-in Hybrid Unit (PHEV), and there is high demand from customers: a total of 171,000 PHEVs were delivered in the first half of the year, more than three times more in the year. period of the previous year (+204 percent). Premium brands Audi and Porsche performed especially strong, posting record deliveries for the first half of the year and double-digit operating performance on sales of 10.7 and 17.6 percent, respectively. Volkswagen Financial Services also performed very well, more than doubling its operating result year-over-year to 2.3 billion euros. Among other things, it benefited from a strong used car business and a positive trend in risk costs. Due to increased vehicle sales and higher demand for higher margin models, the Group's sales revenue increased significantly by 34.9 percent to € 129.7 (96.1) billion. Operating income was 11.4 billion euros (first half of 2020 before special items: –0.8 billion euros), far exceeding the previous record of 10 billion euros (before special items) of the year prior to the crisis of 2019. with a strong 8.8 percent. The higher gains were mainly due to higher vehicle sales, improvements in the product mix and prices, as well as positive effects of the valuation of raw material hedges. Extraordinary restructuring expenses of € 700 million at MAN had a negative impact. Work on ongoing fixed cost programs was vigorously pursued. Earnings before and after taxes also improved significantly to 11.2 (–1.4) billion euros and 8.5 (–1.0) billion euros, respectively. Earnings per preferred share thus reached a solid level of 16.20 euros (–2.33). Automotive Division: Strong cash flow performance further improved, net liquidity increases again Strong business and cost-cutting measures continued to have a positive impact on financial performance. The reported net cash flow in the Automotive Division was EUR 10.2 (–4.8) billion euros. Adjusted for mergers and acquisitions and cash outflows attributable to diesel, net cash flow was a solid 12.3 (-2.3) billion euros. Therefore, it was around 80 percent higher than the level of the year before the 2019 crisis. Net liquidity in the Automotive Division also showed positive growth again and rose to a very solid level of 35 billion euros. It was 29.6 billion euros at the end of the first quarter. The acquisition of Navistar and its financial impact are not included in the figures. Research and development costs increased to 7.7 (6.7) billion euros due to the necessary future-oriented investments in new models and technologies, as well as software. However, the R&D index fell significantly to 7.2 percent in the current year, following a figure of 8.7 percent in the prior year period that was due to low sales revenue related to the pandemic. Enhanced investment discipline and greater use of the Group's synergies led to significant progress in equity investments. These decreased by 8.5 percent from the prior year period to 3.8 (4.1) billion euros. Consequently, the investment index fell dramatically to 3.5 (5.4) percent, placing it significantly below the level of the pre-crisis quarter in 2019 (4.9 percent). Outlook 2021 Based on business performance in the first half of 2021, the Volkswagen Group is adjusting much of its forecast for core performance indicators. The risk of bottlenecks and interruptions in the supply of semiconductor components has intensified throughout the industry. The adverse impact expected as a result will tend to affect the second half of the year. Consequently, the Group is lowering its forecast of deliveries to customers and assumes that, provided the Covid-19 pandemic is successfully contained, in 2021 they will be markedly above the previous year amid continued challenging market conditions. The challenges will arise particularly from the economic situation, the increasing intensity of competition, volatile markets for commodities and currencies, the security of supply chains and the stricter requirements related to emissions. The Volkswagen Group's sales revenue in 2021 is expected to be significantly higher than the previous year's figure. In terms of operating result, the Group anticipates an operating return on sales of between 6.0 and 7.5 percent in 2021. In the Automotive Division, net cash flow is expected to be much stronger than the prior year due to lower cash outflows from diesel and significantly higher M&A effects. This will lead to a very strong increase in net liquidity. The plans are based on the current structures of the Volkswagen Group. The acquisition of all outstanding shares of Navistar International Corporation and the resulting effects on results of operations, financial position and net assets have not been taken into account in the Volkswagen Group forecast.

In the Japanese oven, with temperatures close to 40º and a humidity higher than 70%, competing in conditions is a chimera. Without the protection of a shadow and with the only protection of a cap, the fight is against the rival and against one's own body, which faints. Badosa has to retire in a wheelchair, dizzy. Daniil Medvedev suffers between point and point. He sighs, he leans on the racket with visible gestures of exhaustion and receives medical attention twice. Carlos Ramos, the chair umpire, asks him if he can continue playing, to which the Russian responds with a very hard blow, which remains unanswered: “I can finish the game, but I can die. Do you want me to die of heat? If I die, will you be responsible? ». At the Ariake Tennis Park, without an audience, only players, judges and ball boys absorb the heat. "I was ready to hit the court," he said after the game. But still Medvedev won. 6-2, 3-6, 6-2 over Italian Fabio Fognini to reach the quarterfinals. Badosa, however, could not bear that dizzying sensation of suffocation.

Intel has offered another hint that Microsoft plans to release Windows 11 in October. Windows Latest reported that Intel referred to Windows 11 as the "October 2021 Update (21H2)" in the DCH GPU Driver Release Notes 30.0.100.9684. That naming convention follows the same pattern as major Windows 10 updates, and the Windows 10 May 2021 update is also known as version 21H1, for example. Intel also clarified that it was not referring to an upcoming version of Windows 10 by identifying the operating system as "Microsoft Windows 11-64." Windows 11 would come out in October, with some Windows 10 update in between Microsoft could still release a notable update for Windows 10 in the second half of the year, of course, but Intel was specifically targeting Windows 11 with this driver update. There have been other signs that Microsoft plans to release Windows 11 in October, even though it is officially scheduled to launch over the holidays. Various widgets, messages, and user interface elements in the company's promotional materials refer to October. That's an Easter egg or an April Fool’s joke. However, not many people will be able to use Windows 11 at launch. Microsoft's Windows 11 requirements exclude many PCs with pre-2016 CPUs. Microsoft has said on Twitter that even Windows 10 devices capable of installing the update would have to wait to use it anyway because it won't start rolling out on their devices until the beginning of 2022. Everything indicates that the launch of Windows 11, possibly in October, will be something staggered and not something massive. They may do it to see how it adapts in different configurations and that way it gives the least amount of problems since the launch of Windows 11 is a very important one for the company if they want billions of systems to be updated.

The power outage, which has lasted for more than an hour and has now been reestablished, has been suffered by more than 600,000 subscribers. In Catalonia, more than 146,000 people have been left without electricity, according to data from Endesa that has provided Civil Protection of the Generalitat. In a message on Twitter picked up by Europa Press, Civil Protection has reported a "global supply shortage", which has affected 640,000 subscribers. According to Red Eléctrica (REE), the event originates from an incident with a seaplane that has generated a problem in the French very high voltage network, at a time when energy was being transferred from that country to Spain, "causing the temporary disconnection from the peninsula to the rest of Europe ”, as explained by the company on Twitter. A routine procedure that could have had worse consequences if it had occurred on a working day, when demand and consumption are much higher than those on the weekend. Although fortunately, the Spanish electricity system is highly branched, among other reasons, to deal with this type of event. So that when events such as this Saturday take place, there are occasional discharges in some areas and a general blackout does not occur, sources in the sector point out. In any case, both REE and Endesa assure that the problem is already solved, with the electricity supply being replaced throughout Spain. Civil Protection of the Generalitat has ensured that the situation in Catalonia has been normalized. In a note on Twitter collected by Europa Press, Civil Protection has ended the incident, which has affected 640,000 subscribers. For its part, the blackout has reached the capital, where in the western mountains of Madrid it has affected the po[CENSORED]tions of Colmenarejo, Galapagar, Nuevo Baztán, and some neighborhood of El Escorial for several minutes. According to 112 Región de Murcia, Iberdrola has reported a fault in a 400,000 volt very high voltage line of Red Eléctrica Española. In Guipúzcua, some municipalities have been without electricity since after 4.30 pm, including Irun, a city that has recovered its electricity supply after 5.15 pm, according to the 'Diario Vasco'. There had not been a blackout of this caliber in the peninsula for years. The last major event of these characteristics took place in the Canary archipelago, specifically in Tenerife, when on September 29, 2019 the entire island (around 900,000 inhabitants) was left without power for 9 hours.

ExecutableFix, a reputable hardware leaker, has leaked new information about AMD's next-generation Zen 4 mainstream processors. Apparently, the Ryzen 6000 (with possible code name Raphael) will be able to reach a maximum of 16 cores. The chips are rumored to come with TSMC's state-of-the-art 5nm process node. There were rumors that AMD could add a third chiplet to the Ryzen 6000 to increase the number of cores to 24, but ExecutableFix has debunked that rumor. Up to 16 cores in future AMD processors Barring surprises, the Ryzen 9 6950X CPU will likely be the flagship chip in the Ryzen 6000 series. The 16-core part will replace the existing Ryzen 9 5950X. Although we may not see more cores, the AMD Zen 4 will supposedly offer us other advancements in return, such as support for DDR5 RAM and four additional PCIe 4.0 lanes for greater connectivity. In terms of TDP, the Zen 4 is not expected to require much more power than the Zen 3. AMD has held onto AM4 for a while, so the chipmaker will, in all likelihood, transition to AM5 in the future. ExecutableFix has already provided a mockup of what Zen 4 might look like. In addition to the integrated heat sink, the processor will no longer have pins as the AM5 is rumored to have a Land Grid Array design similar to what Intel has done since LGA775. Since the new design doesn't look much different, there is a possibility that existing AM4 cooling solutions could work on AM5 with a converter kit. AMD's Ryzen 5000 chips, which are based on Zen 3 cores; They are among the most powerful CPUs on the market right now. And they recently revealed to me a new Zen 3 Ryzen processor with 3D V-Cache that can deliver up to 192MB of L3 cache per chip. This would make AMD in no rush to bring this model of CPUs to the market.

As the release of Windows 11 approaches, Microsoft is testing new features in its trial version. This is how we learn about many of the new features that Window s11 will offer us as a widget to buy movies, or customize the transparency of the right-click menu. They seem small but they are things that a part of the users will appreciate. These new features are from Windows 11 trial version 22000.71. This version is only available through Windows Insiders for Microsoft developers. Small news for Windows 11 The new build of Windows 11 introduces a new entertainment widget that promotes the purchase of movies through the Microsoft store, a new transparent shading in the right-click menus, an improved layout of previews when you mouse over the icons from the taskbar and a new style of "split button" in the File Explorer user interface. As part of build 22000.71, Microsoft has added a new type of "entertainment" widget to Windows 11 that shows you a list of movies that you can rent or buy. This widget will take us to a page in the Microsoft Store when you click on them. If we choose to enable this widget, you can scroll through a list of recent releases as part of the Movies Anywhere initiative, so they should be able to run on many different devices. It is possible that this widget ends up being very annoying for many users, as it has happened with the news and weather widget in Windows 10. Part of the move to Windows 11 is a change to the company's new "acrylic" design language, whereby the right-click menu now has this design language. This means that it is only a little bit translucent. Microsoft has made subtle changes to the appearance of the preview windows when hovering over the taskbar menu. Microsoft says it is testing the usability of a new type of user interface button where part of it is clickable and part of a menu is invoked. Finally there is the option to divide in the file explorer, in the button «New folder». When you click the left side of the button, you just get a new folder, but when you click the arrow on the right side, you get a submenu that offers more options.

Along with 300 other global companies, Hyundai Motor Group plans to further accelerate efforts on sustainable development and carbon neutrality. Hyundai Motor and Kia, along with Hyundai Mobis Co., Hyundai Wia and Hyundai Transys Inc., will submit applications to Korea's RE100 Committee later this month. While the five companies are aiming for a 100 percent renewable energy transition by 2050, each will make independent efforts to achieve goals ahead of schedule, depending on power supply and demand conditions at their respective overseas operations. To this end, the five companies plan to establish a system in conjunction with RE100 at the global sites where they routinely operate. The Group is considering various ways to acquire renewable energy, such as self-production through solar panels, Power Purchase Agreements (PPA) with wind and solar energy producers, as well as purchasing through Korea's "Green Premium" program. Electric Power Corporation (KEPCO). In addition to the companies mentioned, other affiliates of the Group agree on the need to make the transition to 100 percent renewable energy and plan to use it actively in their operations in the future. Prior to the announcement to join RE100, the main affiliates of Hyundai Motor Group were already expanding the implementation of renewable energy sources, as well as technologies to reduce energy use in production processes. Hyundai Motor installed rooftop solar power installations at its Asan, South Korea, automotive plant in 2013 to produce 13,000 MWh per year. The company is also producing 12,500 MWh of electricity through solar power facilities that were installed at the Ulsan plant last year, in cooperation with Korea Hydro & Nuclear Power Company. In 2019, Kia established a system to replace all the energy used at its Žilina, Slovakia production plant with renewable energy. In Korea, Kia's plants in Gwangmyeong, Hwaseong and Gwangju have achieved ISO 50001 certifications. Hyundai Mobis made a complete switch to renewable energy sources at its Slovak and Swedish operations earlier this year. In Korea, Mobis is pushing to reduce energy use by establishing the Mobis Global Energy Management System (GMEMS). At a special P4G (Partnership for Green Growth and 2030 Global Goals) session in May, Hyundai Motor Group President Euisun Chung said: "The most important thing to respond to climate change is action. We will contribute to global circular economy achieving carbon neutrality in the future ". RE100, which stands for '100 percent renewable energy', is a global initiative led by the Climate Group that brings together the world's most influential companies committed to 100 percent renewable energy and has been campaigning since 2014. To become a member, a company must have a significant energy footprint (i.e. 100 GWh per year) and must submit medium and long-term renewable energy protection plans within one year of joining. More than 300 global companies participate.
