Pharaoh Seqenenra Taa ruled southern Egypt around 1545 BC. Nicknamed The Brave One, he was the first Egyptian king to perish on the battlefield, where he was brutally murdered. Scholars have debated the exact nature of his death since his mummy was discovered in 1880. Now X-ray computed tomography has allowed Sahar Saleem, a professor of radiology at Cairo University, and the celebrated Egyptologist Zahi Hawass to produce a more complete account of the fatal fate of this king. Seqenenra Taa's brief reign coincided with the rise of the Hyksos, the dynasty that held power throughout the kingdom for about a century (c. 1650-1550 BC). It was the fight to expel them that cost Pharaoh his life. He is considered a key figure in history, since, after his murder, his son Amosis I managed to expel the Hyksos from the delta and reunify Upper and Lower Egypt, giving rise to the New Kingdom. Examinations of the mummy of Seqenenra Taa showed that he had suffered several serious head injuries, but no other injuries to his body. The most widespread theory was that he had been captured in battle and later executed, possibly by King Hicso himself. Other scholars have suggested that he was murdered in his sleep, the victim of a palace conspiracy. In addition, the poor condition of the mummy suggested that the embalming had been carried out hastily, far from the actual mummification workshop. Hidden wounds However, the CT scan of Seqenenre's mummified remains has revealed new details about his head injuries, including new ones that had previously gone undetected as embalmers had cleverly concealed them. Professor Sahar Saleem with the mummy in the scanner - The authors of the new work, which is published in the scientific journal "Frontiers in Medicine", offer a novel interpretation of the events before and after Seqenenre's death. The X-ray images reveal that the pharaoh was indeed captured on the battlefield, but his hands had been tied behind his back, so that he could not defend himself from the attack. This fact "suggests that Seqenenre was really on the front line with his soldiers risking his life to liberate Egypt," said Saleem, lead author of the study and specializing in paleoradiology. The images also suggest that the execution was carried out by multiple attackers at the same time. Scientists have corroborated this after identifying five different weapons belonging to the Hyksos that coincided with the pharaoh's wounds. "In a normal execution of a tied prisoner it could be assumed that a single assailant strikes, possibly from different angles but not with different weapons," Saleem explained. "Seqenenre's death was more of a ceremonial execution," says the specialist. The skull wounds speak of a brutal death. The pharaoh had a 7-centimeter-long gash on his forehead, which would have been caused by an ax or sword blow from above. This wound alone could have been fatal. Another life-threatening cut above the pharaoh's right eye was 3.2 cm long and was possibly made with an ax. Other cuts to the nose, right eye and right cheek came from above and could have been made with the handle of an ax or a blunt staff, according to the researchers. The CT study also determined that the pharaoh was in his 40s when he died, based on the detailed morphology revealed in the images, providing the most accurate estimate to date. Sophisticated mummification In addition, the CT study has revealed important details about the mummification of Seqenenre's body. For example, embalmers used a sophisticated method to hide wounds on the king's head under a layer of material that functioned similarly to fillers used in modern plastic surgery. This would imply that the rite took place in a mummification workshop and not improvised, as had been previously interpreted. Saleem points out that the study of computed tomography provides important new details on a crucial point in Egypt's long history: "Seqenenre's death motivated his successors to continue the struggle for the unification of Egypt and to initiate the New Kingdom." . Saleem and study co-author Zahi Hawass, an archaeologist and former Egyptian Minister of Antiquities, have pioneered the use of computed tomography to study New Kingdom pharaohs and warriors, including well-known names such as Hatshepsut, Tutankhamun. , Ramses III, Tutmosis III and Ramses II. However, based on available evidence, Seqenenre appears to be the only one of this illustrious group who was on the front lines of the battlefield. Saleem and Hawass's earlier work featured the celebrated "Mummy of the Screaming Woman." The body was embalmed with its head thrown back and its mouth open as if it were crying in terror. The CT scan then revealed that she suffered from a severe degree of atherosclerosis and the researchers assumed that the woman had a massive heart attack with a fatal outcome. The position of the remains suggests that the body was not discovered until hours later, so it suffered rigor mortis and the embalmers preserved the body as it was found.

Years ago, before the age of the Internet, being able to listen to radios internationally was not so easy. You needed certain equipment and knowledge of foreign stations that really interested you. But technology continues to make things easier for us, and now a simple website allows us to travel to thousands of radios around the globe with a simple click. Radio.Garden is, as its name suggests, a website to explore other radio stations internationally. But we can do it in our browser, since thanks to maps like the ones we see in Google Earth we can navigate through all countries and all their stations, including local ones. Through a simple navigation interface, we will be able to touch on stations to be able to listen to them via the Internet, whether they are local, national, etc. We just have to go to an area of the map, click on a point, and start listening, thus breaking barriers. Radios from all over the world The interface of this software is very similar to what we see in Google Maps or Google Earth. In fact, it is practically identical, although with the incentive of having the radio controls on one side of the screen. In the lower right corner, we have the controls to operate the radio that we listen to as well as some specific buttons. Depending on the area we go to, Radio.Garden will give us multiple options. Opening a top submenu, we can see all the stations in an area, listed in an area that we can edit. Each of the stations can be saved in a list of favorites with which we can interact. In fact, the software itself, through a process, allows users to upload our own radio stations to the platform so that those who use the application can discover them. We can perform searches, receive personalized software recommendations with some of your favorite stations, we can visit their associated websites and share the stations. A small player will allow us to increase the volume, go from one station to another, and so on. The interface is extremely simple and intuitive, and very easy to use. The best thing is that all this software is absolutely free, and there is no type of limit when it comes to using it or taking advantage of its functionalities. It's simply the easiest way to listen to hundreds of thousands of radios around the world without limitations.

Intel Z490 chipset motherboards may not support Rocket Lake-S processors To our knowledge Intel and motherboard builders have indicated support from the Z490 chipset to Alder Lake-S processors. Apparently Intel would have the firmware for the new BIOS quite advanced. But it is also that the Z490 chipset motherboards support PCIe 4.0, an interface that the Comet Lake-S does not support. Well, in a Chinese forum they indicate that Intel Rocket Lake-S processors will not work on Z490 chipset motherboards. What is the reason for this statement? As indicated the reasons would have to do with the lack of support at the chipset, BIOS and power supply system level. It appears that the power distribution in the Rocket Lake-S processors would be very different than in the Comet Lake-S. Intel has generated two classifications for the 400 Series chipsets. The PCH-H group includes the Z490, W480, Q470 and H470 chipsets. On the other hand, the PCH-V would be the B460 and H410 chipsets. The user who wrote the post explains that each CPU has a CPU_ID that is used by the chipset to know which processor is mounted. If the chipset does not recognize the CPU_ID of the processor, the system does not work. To correct this, you can disable the CPU_ID in the BIOS IME or modify the chipset. It is also indicated that it could be an Intel decision to force users to upgrade the motherboard as well. A restriction that could be circumvented by motherboard assemblers by using the 500 Series motherboard microcodes. Lack of compatibility due to power supply system But the biggest reason would have to do with the power supply design. We should note that Rocket Lake is an import of the 10nm node with heavy consumption. This would be the origin of the problem with these new processors. The power subsystem must transform the 12V and 5V voltages into lower voltages to power the processor. Comet Lake-S and Rocket Lake-S are practically identical with respect to Vcore and Vgt voltages. The VCCSA and VCCIO voltages had been remodeled. Due to the remodel the motherboard must have a PWM IC that conforms to Intel's IMVP8 requirements. So those motherboards that do not meet this requirement will not be able to support Rocket Lake-S processors. power supply intel z590 rocket lake Whoever created the post has even said that motherboard models will not be compatible with Rocket Lake-S: MSI Z490 S01 MSI Z490M S01 ASROCK Z490 Phantom Gaming 4 ASROCK Z490 Pro4, Z490M Pro4 ASROCK Z490M-ITX / ac ASROCK B460M Steel Legend by ASRock Better be cautious in this case, as it could be a rumor against Intel. The company has indicated on several occasions the existence of backward compatibility. We will wait for the launch and then we will know the truth.

The Pure ETCR will set the standard for electric racing around the world and accelerate the transition to zero-emission mobility. Hyundai's involvement is the company's latest step in its quest to make motorsport more environmentally friendly. Hyundai Motorsport will compete in the Pure ETCR with its new high-performance electric tourer, the Veloster N ETCR. This model heralds an exciting new era for Hyundai, which will see electric car racing become one of the pillars of the company. Along with its electrification strategy, Hyundai has also leveraged its leadership in fuel cell technology to develop its hydrogen generator. This generator will be able to charge electric cars by converting ecological hydrogen into energy for charging the vehicles. For Hyundai, the world of racing is a field where it can do more than experiment with new technologies that then serve as the basis for the development of future production cars. It reflects the pioneering spirit of the company, which translates into constant innovation and leadership in the mobility of the future. The knowledge transfer between Hyundai Motorsport and the Hyundai N brand has proven to be very fruitful, with significant successes both in the WRC and TCR championships, as well as in the production of road cars that are very well received by customers, such as the i20. N. “Hyundai is making great efforts to develop sustainable mobility for a better world, and the competition is not without this goal. So we are very excited to have the opportunity to build on our success in the WRC and TCR as part of the upcoming Pure ETCR, ”said Andrea Adamo, Hyundai Motorsport Team Principal. "With our holistic approach, we are able to significantly reduce emissions in the world of competition, while ensuring that the spectacular sport we know and love remains fun for drivers and fans." WRC and TCR: Hyundai's automotive heritage Racing is an extension of Hyundai's "performance" pillar. Despite being a new player in this field, the company has already been able to make its mark. The Hyundai Motorsport team was formed in 2012, at the time overseeing the establishment of its facilities in Alzenau, Germany and the development of its first rally car, the i20 WRC. Hyundai Motorsport entered the FIA World Rally Championship for the first time in 2014. After five successful seasons, the team won the World Rally Championship for the first time in 2019. This feat was repeated last year, thus reinforcing Hyundai its reputation within world motorsport. Following its successful foray into the WRC, Hyundai Motorsport entered the world of circuit racing in 2018 with the i30 N TCR. Gabriele Tarquini led the car to the top of the standings in the inaugural WTCR season in 2018. A year later, Norbert Michelisz led the i30 N TCR to its second consecutive championship. Technology transfer between Hyundai Motorsport and Hyundai N Hyundai Motorsport competes in the WRC with the i20 Coupe WRC, which is based on a highly modified version of the Hyundai i20. In WTCR, the team participates in the i30 N TCR. This touring car is based on the company's first high-performance production model, the i30 N. Both cars demonstrate how Hyundai's road models are an optimal basis for Hyundai Motorsport racing vehicles. The i20 Coupe WRC is equipped with a 1.6-liter turbocharged engine with direct injection, which is associated with a six-speed sequential transmission. It has four-wheel drive and provides a maximum power of 380 hp, with 450 Nm of torque. As a further demonstration of the company's commitment to sustainability in its high-performance models, Hyundai Motorsport is currently developing a lightweight hybrid powertrain for the i20 WRC. Its launch is scheduled for 2022 and it will be the world's first rally car with this technology. The i30 N TCR is powered by a two-liter, in-line four-cylinder turbo engine coupled with a six-speed sequential gearbox. It has front-wheel drive and is equipped with a 100-liter fuel tank. It provides a maximum power of 350 hp and 450 Nm of torque. In addition to competing in the WRC and TCR with road car-based models, Hyundai uses racing as a testing ground for new technologies. This approach has a direct impact on the company's future N production models through knowledge transfer. For example, the brand's latest hot hatch, the new i20 N, is directly influenced by the i20 WRC. The new i20 N has the minimum weight required in the WRC and features a rally-inspired roof spoiler to improve aerodynamics. Hyundai Motorsport Customer Racing, the racing-customer division, recently unveiled the i20 N Rally2, a completely new rally car intended for private teams and drivers. In another example of how Hyundai Motorsport and Hyundai N work together to improve performance, the i20 N Rally2 builds on the solid foundations of the chassis of the new i20 N. The i20 N Rally2 builds on the dynamic look of the road car, developed according to Hyundai's new “Sensuous Sportiness” identity, and includes several design elements inspired by the world of motorsports. Veloster N ETCR: Hyundai's first high-performance electric vehicle Ahead of the Pure ETCR championship, Hyundai Motorsport engineers designed and built, at its headquarters in Alzenau, the company's first fully electric high-performance vehicle, the Veloster N ETCR. Like the i30 N TCR and i20 N Rally2, it is based on a highly modified version of another Hyundai N car, the North American model Veloster N. Testing of the Veloster N ETCR began with the design of a prototype in September 2019, which the team continued to develop throughout 2020. It is a zero-emission, rear-wheel drive passenger car with centrally positioned engines and designed specifically for the vehicle. ETCR regulations. Equipped with a Williams Advanced Engineering 798-volt battery pack, located at the base of the vehicle, and a double wishbone rear suspension, the chassis is radically different from that used in any previous Hyundai Motorsport project. It generates a maximum power of 500 kW (equivalent to 680 hp) and a continuous power of 300 kW. The Veloster N ETCR's powertrain consists of four motors - two per wheel - connected to a single-ratio gearbox. “The ETCR is a test bed for Hyundai's future mobility concepts. With the Veloster N ETCR, we are demonstrating how cutting-edge technology can combine with eco-driving to make racing cleaner, ”said Till Wartenberg, vice president and managing director of the N brand and the Motorsport subdivision of Hyundai Motor Company. “By building an electric racing car, we will show that it is feasible to develop a high-performance electric vehicle. The knowledge and data collected through our experiences on the track are the basis for optimizing and improving our battery electric (BEV) and hydrogen fuel cell (FCEV) models. " The Hyundai Generator hydrogen generator The Pure ETCR offers Hyundai the opportunity to push its electrification systems to the limit in the most extreme conditions. However, while high performance is a key tenet for the company, the brand is also committed to making both competition and the future of motorsports and high-performance cars in general as environmentally friendly as possible. environment. For Hyundai, this is not limited to zero-emission powertrains; The company defends that the entire ecosystem has to be sustainable, from energy generation to fuel transportation. Hyundai will offer its new hydrogen generator as a charging system for electric vehicles. The Hyundai Generator is the latest in emission-free electricity recharging and consists of two fuel cells. First, the generator is refilled using compressed hydrogen tanks. Inside the fuel cell, hydrogen is exposed to oxygen. The resulting chemical reaction generates energy, which is used to charge electric vehicle batteries. In this way, participants can be sure that the electricity used to charge the cars also comes from sustainable and emission-free sources. The Hyundai Generator allows two electric vehicles to be charged simultaneously. In addition to having a high-speed charging capability, it also offers significantly lower noise levels compared to a diesel generator. Beyond electric car racing, Hyundai is confident that its hydrogen-powered generator also has a number of potential uses, such as festivals, construction sites, and emergency situations. “For Hyundai it is important to have a holistic vision of zero emission mobility. With solutions like the hydrogen generator, we can not only run electric vehicles, but we also ensure that electricity is produced without emissions by using green hydrogen to power the generator, ”says Thomas Schemera, Executive Vice President and Chief Marketing Officer, Hyundai Motor Company. "As Hyundai's journey to become a provider of smart mobility solutions, we will continue to develop zero-emission devices for different walks of life." How electric car racing combines sustainability and performance Electric car racing represents a perfect opportunity for Hyundai to combine environmental sustainability and competition, bringing together the brand's "progress" and "performance" pillars. In the future, EV racing will become one of the fundamental pillars of Hyundai Motorsport. The ETCR shows how the technologies of the future and cleaner racing can be combined. Electrified motorsports also offer Hyundai a way to reach new audiences. With the development of an emission-free racing car like the Veloster N ETCR, the company demonstrates the viability of high-performance electric vehicles. These models can be environmentally friendly and, at the same time, fun to drive.

A Saudi woman has been convicted of the murder of her Bangladeshi maid by a court in Saudi Arabia, in a sentence that human rights groups have described as a rare example of punishment for abusive behavior against a domestic worker. Ayesha Al Jizani was sentenced to death by the court on Sunday for the murder of Abiron Begum in March 2019, just two years after Begum traveled to Saudi Arabia to seek a higher-paying job, according to a Bangladeshi official. Begum's relatives called on the Bangladeshi government to crack down on intermediaries who "tricked" 40-year-old Begum into taking a job in Saudi Arabia four years earlier. "He wanted to travel abroad to earn more money, so that he could give to his elderly parents," Ayub Ali, Begum's brother-in-law, explained to Reuters. “They began to torture her two weeks after she left it. She called us and cried. We asked to be brought back, but they didn't listen to us. Jizani's husband was imprisoned for three years for not being able to help Begum access medical treatment and make him work outside the home illegally, ”confirmed Ahmed Saleheen, an official. Bangladesh is one of the main exporting countries for labor and relies heavily on remittances sent by relatives from abroad. Before the pandemic, some 700,000 Bangladeshis used to go abroad in search of work, with Saudi Arabia as the main destination country.

Although Clubhouse has barely managed to take off in Spain and other countries, its boom in po[CENSORED]rity has caused the application to already have some enemies. The main one has been China, which has already blocked the application in the country for fear that citizens have conversations outside the Government. The suspicions of the developers go further, and they believe that Clubhouse is being spied on. According to The Verge, Clubhouse would have detected vulnerabilities in its infrastructure through the Stanford Internet Observatory (SIO for its acronym in Internet). Vulnerabilities that could be exploited to carry out punctures and transmit information to the Chinese Government. According to the SIO, the company behind the back-end infrastructure of Clubhouse Agora could cause these leaks to the Chinese Government, and therefore from the application they plan to add additional encryption to prevent the information from passing to the Chinese servers. Suspicions of espionage The WIS discovered that Clubhouse identification numbers or IDs (not user names) as well as chat room IDs are transmitted in plain text, that is, in clean text files that can give Agora the ability to access raw audio from Clunhouse. This implies that anyone who conscientiously monitors Internet traffic could match these IDs to see who is talking to whom and with whom. The researchers discovered that they found metadata from a Clubhouse room being transmitted to servers that we believe are hosted in the People's Republic of China. "They discovered that the audio was being sent" to servers managed by Chinese entities and distributed around the world. "Agora Furthermore, it is a Chinese company so it could be legally obliged to help the Government locate and store audio messages if so required by officials of the regime. Of course, Agora has specified that it does not store user metadata or the audios that are shared in the Clubhouse, beyond what it saves to check the quality of the network and bill its clients. Audio stored on servers in the United States, says Agora, is inaccessible to China. The company "does not have access, share or store personally identifiable data of end users," a spokesperson said, adding that "voice or video traffic from users outside of China, including Americans, never passes through China."

NVIDIA confirms RTX 3060 launch on February 25 Acquiring a graphics card right now is unthinkable. Not only are there no new graphics cards on the market, but the second-hand market is inaccessible. You can find GTX 1050 for € 150 or GTX 1060 6GB for € 250, prices that are crazy for graphics that have been on the market so much. Going back to the NVIDIA RTX 3060, this graphics card features a GA106 silicon with 3584 CUDA Cores. The frequencies of this graphics card are a mystery, as well as its performance. The other data we know is that it will have 12GB GDDR6 with a 192bits memory bus. That this graphic has more VRAM than the RTX 3080 is one of the weirdest things NVIDIA has done. It is estimated that this graphics card could perform the same or better than an RTX 2070, which is saying. To talk about the simplest graphics card from NVIDIA with Ampere architecture, it points to great performance, as well as being the most economical with support for RayTracing. What is the problem with this graph? It really has two problems with this graph. The first is that it will arrive for a price of $ 329, and the second that the stock is surely low and they last seconds in stores. In exchange, this RTX 3060 would have a price of 270 euros, more or less, but we already know that the change is usually 1: 1, due to taxes and others. So the price in Spain is expected to be 329 euros, approximately. If someone is able to find this graph at this price or for a price lower than 400 euros at launch, they can go and buy a lottery ticket, because they will surely have to.

Jeremy Gabriel and Mike Ward want the Canadian justice to solve the case. A decade ago, as part of his number, a Canadian comedian started telling a joke about a young singer with a disability. That joke ended in front of the highest court in Canada. Jeremy Gabriel was born with Treacher Collins syndrome, a genetic disorder that can affect facial bone structure. In his case, it caused him severe deafness. Despite this, he fulfilled his dream of becoming a singer, and went on to perform before public figures, from singer Céline Dion to Pope Benedict XVI. He became a celebrity in his native Quebec. In 2010, a po[CENSORED]r comedian from that Canadian province, Mike Ward, known for his dark and daring humor, did a 90-minute monologue. In addition to thorny issues about race and religion, he focused on the "sacred cows," he said, of the province's celebrity system - people who, in his opinion, were for various reasons too rich or too powerful, leaving them off limits to humor. "He is not a 'bully', he has a disability that cannot be seen": the viral letter of a mother who defends the "invisible" disorders of her son The repercussions of that spectacle have lasted almost a decade in Quebec and culminate this February 15, when the long legal battle over a joke that Ward told about Gabriel will be heard by the Supreme Court of Canada. A joke repeated over 200 times As part of her number, Ward targeted people like Céline Dion and her late husband, René Angélil, among others. He also spoke about Gabriel, who by then was known in the press as "Petit Jeremy" and who had also released an album and an autobiography. Ward said that he had mistakenly believed that Gabriel's condition was terminal. He also joked about Gabriel's appearance in relation to his disability. In addition to thorny issues about race and religion, he focused on the "sacred cows," he said, of the province's celebrity system - people who, in his opinion, were for various reasons too rich or too powerful, leaving them off limits to humor.

Ward said that he had mistakenly believed that Gabriel's condition was terminal. He also joked about Gabriel's appearance in relation to his disability. It was then that the family filed a human rights complaint. When Ward's case was brought before the Quebec Human Rights Court, a specialized court that handles cases related to discrimination or harassment under the provincial bill of rights, the comedian lost. Beyond freedom of expression The court found that he had "exceeded the limits of freedom of expression" and that his joke was discriminatory on the grounds of disability. He appealed and, in a split 2019 decision, the Court of Appeals mostly upheld the court's decision, as well as a $ 27,500 award for Gabriel for moral and punitive damages. What is "swatting", the dangerous joke of the world of video games that can have deadly consequences The court's intention "is not to restrict creativity or censor the opinions of artists," the ruling said, but "comedians, like any citizen, are responsible for the consequences of their words when they cross certain lines." Ward had already decided that if he lost, he would seek to take the fight to the Supreme Court of Canada. "Comedy is not a crime," he said in a statement released after the Court of Appeals decision. "In a 'free' country, it shouldn't be up to a judge to decide what constitutes a joke on stage." He said that the laughter of the crowd "answered that question." Ward has said he is refusing to pay damages: "not for me, but for the young comedians, the comedians of tomorrow." He argues that it is fundamental to the trade that comedians can take risks. And he maintains that because Gabriel was a public figure he was open to satire. Gabriel, however, responds: "Being a public person does not mean that you no longer have any rights." "A line has been crossed, I strongly believe in that," he adds.

HDDs in 2020 have exceeded 1 Zettabyte of storage capacity adding all drives The advent of SSD drives has caused mechanical hard drives to take a secondary role. Although HDDs are slower than SSDs, their large storage capacity makes them quite useful. We have seen in recent years how HDDs have been increasing in capacity. This last factor is one of the main ones that has allowed all HDD manufacturers to supply more than 1 Zettabyte (ZB) of capacity for the first time in history. An SSD drive is characterized by offering high read and write speeds. The capacity of SSDs is still quite limited today compared to HDDs. Not counting the price differences, since a 1TB HDD is usually around 35-40 euros, while a 2.5 ″ SSD is usually around 100 euros. To give us an idea, 1 ZB equals 1,000,000,000,000,000,000 bytes (or 1 sextillion bytes). Also 1 ZB equals one million Petabytes, one billion Terabytes, or one trillion Gigabytes. We are talking about an astronomical storage capacity. According to the firm Coughlin Associates, who has led the hard drive market in 2020 has been Toshiba and its 16TB drives. As it could not be otherwise, they are followed by Seagate in second position and Western Digital in third position. Toshiba has led the market for drives for Nearline systems with growth of 35% in 2020. The company is the second consecutive year that it has positioned itself as a leader in this segment.

The Finn and his co-driver Mikko Lukka will begin their season on national territory at this month's Arctic Rally Finland Powered by CapitalBox (February 26-28). Huttunen will join Ole Christian Veiby in the Rovaniemi test with the Korean manufacturer's i20 R5. Oliver Solberg is the third member of Hyundai's WRC2 squad. Huttunen won both rounds of WRC3 last year en route to claiming the title in the final of the ACI Rally Monza and has similar ambitions in the top class. "Last year we were on the WRC3 podium in every event we participated in as we were aiming for victory every weekend," said Huttunen, who will celebrate his 27th birthday on the final day of the Arctic event. "We will have the same goal in WRC2 this year as we have a lot of the same rallies ahead of us, a car that I know well, and with the Kowax 2BRally team, which Mikko and I work very well with in 2020. So we have everything. prepared to show the same performance we had to win the WRC3 title. " Huttunen, who also bagged the Polish title last year, already has in mind to follow in Solberg's footsteps. The young Swede will compete in an i20 World Rally Car for the first time in Lapland. "My goal in rallying is to drive a WRC car in a WRC event, as is the case with Oliver in Finland, so I have to see them [Solberg and Veiby] a bit as my rivals when it comes to racing." added. Huttunen previously competed in WRC2 in 2018 and 2019, loading second at Neste Rally Finland in his most recent outing of the category. The three drivers will also participate in the development of Hyundai's new i20 N Rally2 in the coming months. Team Principal Andrea Adamo believes that a move to WRC2 was the only way forward for Huttunen. "To win the WRC3 and Polish national titles last year, he showed excellent pace on snow, gravel and tarmac, and there is no reason why the same form should not continue this season," he said. "We've been working hard for the past few months to find a way to work with him and reward him for his excellent performances, so confirming Jari in the Hyundai Motorsport WRC2 lineup for 2021 is great. I think at Arctic Rally Finland he can. start the season strong and fight for victory. "

Despite being a unique day in her life, Inés Guartambel did not alter her activities. She got up early and went to take care of her animals, in the lands that surround her house, in the Tarqui parish, 15 kilometers from Cuenca. There, together with her relatives who milked the cows, she was there until hers came to look for her, her son Yaku Pérez, presidential candidate for Pachakutik, the political arm of the Confederation of Indigenous Nationalities of Ecuador (Conaie). To go to the electoral precinct, in the Tarqui parish, they were joined by the candidate's daughters, Ñusta and Asiry. At 10 in the morning they all went to the Fausto Molina school, in the parish center of Tarqui, to be together in this historic moment. Inés wore the typical skirt of the peasant women of the area and the toquilla straw hat. She was blissful. Her son, the presidential candidate, was also optimistic. Until the eve of the elections, he was in third place in all the polls, although they could not be disseminated, since an electoral law prohibits it. Pérez announced that if he got to Carondelet (seat of the government) he would do a clean, bringing shamans. "He has to be with very heavy air," he said, and reiterated his decision to ask the Constitutional Court for a national po[CENSORED]r consultation so that prior citizen consultation is mandatory before mining exploitation throughout the territory. If Yaku gets a good percentage, his position will be key in the second round for the political future of Ecuador. At first it could be thought that he is closer to Arauz's positions, but Yaku Pérez does not hide his animosity for the "correísmo" that he represents. Pérez has been in jail several times for defending water and opposing mining; four of them during the Correa government, although one was for opposing the indefinite reelection that the ex-president wanted, whose government also imprisoned and expelled his partner, the Franco-Brazilian academic Manuela Picq, from the country. He talks about eliminating several state institutions, reducing the number of assembly members by half (today 137), working with businessmen and is open to signing a trade agreement with the United States, which distances him from the traditional Ecuadorian left. His relatives say that he never gets angry, which is attributed to him meditating and doing yoga. In 2013 he lost his wife, sick with cancer; with her he had two daughters, who have been fully involved in the campaign. He remarried Manuela Picq, in an ancestral ceremony, but the Civil Registry did not recognize the union. Along with her, who came from the United States, where he now resides, they have starred in videos that have been posted on Tik Tok, which have received criticism, "for trivializing politics", but which have led to many followers on the networks.
