The brand, founded by well-known actor, singer, and trendsetter William Chan, has seen a surge in po[CENSORED]rity in recent years with young customers and the streetwear industry. This very special Ghibli Hybrid was born through the Maserati Fuoriserie personalization program and embodies the ability to personalize a bespoke Maserati based on the unique personality of the customer. "Breaking the Rules" is a call to action that combines the attitude of trendsetters, mold breakers and styles with the brand's bold new voice. The Maserati Fuoriserie program aims to be the blank sheet where customers can write their own stories and become the medium to unleash their creativity, and the Ghibli Hybrid Love Audacious is an obvious example of this. The date chosen for the announcement is not accidental. 520 [May 20] is a set of numbers related to love that in China has the secret meaning of "I love you" and, in addition, it is a day when it is customary to celebrate love. Thus, as an ode to this celebrated day, Italian boldness meets love-inspired Chinese style. In terms of appearance, the Ghibli Hybrid Love Audacious is characterized by a special new body color: Digital Aurora. The Aurora Digital is a unique and emotional color, born out of the common concept shared by Canotwait_ and Maserati in their love of being bold. Love and Audacity were inspired by sunrise and the magical light of Dawn - a combination of burnt purple with soothing, calming hints of blue. To make this three-layer coating even bolder, an experimental glass-flake pink pigment has been introduced that produces a digital effect that follows the current Phigital trend. From an idea and a range of colors, Canotwait_ and Maserati gave life to this exclusive exterior paint, specifically created for this “few off” edition and which is inspired by the contemporary trend of the Unica collection. The purple color is one of the main features of this Fuoriserie Edition. A particular shade that was not only selected for its long tradition as a color associated with luxury and exclusivity, but also to add a slight touch of mystery and rarity. It is very difficult to find a better way to represent the extraordinary marriage between a young streetwear brand and the bold and daring spirit of Maserati. As a curious fact, it should be noted that purple is one of William Chan's favorite colors. To complete its exterior appearance, the Ghibli Hybrid Love Audacious is fitted with 20 "Teseo wheels in Dark Miron, which are also available in the Maserati Fuoriserie catalog. Finally, this model bears two custom Canotwait_ badges, one on the outside of the car, just above the iconic Maserati air vents, and the other inside, to further emphasize its exclusivity. One of the most unique aspects of the campaign is the opening of a pop-up store in Shanghai on May 20 (520), where young customers and urban fashion influencers can experience the journey of this new car, from its conception and inspiration until its final production. Sales of the new Ghibli Hybrid Love Audacious start in May with a limited number of 8 units (only for the Chinese market).

Elon Musk and China have caused bitcoin to collapse at a dizzying pace in less than a week, until at times it remains close to losing more than 40% of its value at that time. First, with the announcement last Thursday by the controversial South African businessman and CEO of Tesla, that the electric car company would stop accepting cryptocurrency as a form of payment. And since this morning, with the notice of the People's Bank of China that it will prohibit payments with digital currency. Two events that have also caused bitcoin to fall to $ 37,000 late in the afternoon (February levels). 20,000 less than last week and about 15% less than yesterday. Even by the minute he walked below $ 30,000, 30% less than its value on Tuesday. Which is equivalent to less than half its maximum registered price, when it reached 64,000 greenbacks on April 14. But not only is bitcoin sinking, it also drags the rest of cryptocurrencies. Thus, Ethereum lost more than 18% throughout the day on Wednesday, and Dogecoin - the meme currency promoted on social networks by Elon Musk - lost about 20% throughout the day. Among the experts, a diversity of forecasts, but all highlight the strong shock “from which it will take them a long time to recover, as the German cryptocurrency analyst Timo Emden told AFP. For his part, the CEO of Panxora, Gavin Smith, explained that “any asset that has risen as much as bitcoin over the past year can be expected to have setbacks as some investors withdraw profits, as we are currently seeing. While it is often a brilliant investment opportunity, traders should remember that bitcoin remains an emerging asset class and will continue to experience large price swings.

The research they are conducting is to fight against Covid-19. It would be beneficial to the whole society. They work directly with SARS-CoV-2 in massive quantities. In other autonomous communities they have been vaccinated, but for researchers in Granada there is no immunization. They have been asking to be vaccinated since February, but the response has been negative from the territorial delegation of the Ministry of Health in Granada. In the research group of the López Neyra Institute of Parasitology and Biomedicine of the Higher Center for Scientific Research (CSIC), led by Carles Suñé, they have decided that they cannot take any more risks. They have paralyzed the research in the laboratory, although they continue with other tasks. "He couldn't even sleep," says the scientist, thinking that something might happen to one of his companions. "We couldn't go on like this anymore," he claims.

the clock is already ticking the countdown to the approval of the labor measures sent to Brussels within the Recovery Plan based on the deadlines that have been set by the Government. "We will never again hear a government tell citizens that they have to tighten their belts", defended yesterday the third vice president and Minister of Labor and Social Economy, Yolanda Díaz, despite the fact that the document includes tax increases to be able to achieve, in the long term, close the public revenue gap with Europe. A plan that has also qualified the head of the Treasury and Government spokesperson, María Jesús Montero, stating that the measures contemplated would be insufficient to enter the 80,000 million that it aspires to achieve the level of collection with Europe. On the side of the reforms, Díaz was blunt in stating that all the reforms "have to be published in the BOE before the end of 2021" because "the deadlines in law are not discussed, they are met." In response to journalists' questions, Díaz also advanced that she will reach agreements with social agents before the end of this year because "European funds depend on these country transformations." "Component 23" is well known by those who meet on the fourth floor of this Ministry. Although I never give deadlines in case they are not met, in this case we risk our country. And I think that the precariousness figures cannot be extended any further, ”added the Minister of Labor. "We have set a date and it must be met," she added. During the presentation of the measures in labor matters sent to the EU, Díaz considered that the Government is going to "provoke a real revolution in the Spanish labor market." For the third vice president, "the legislature begins now" and she did not hesitate to express that the president of the Government, Pedro Sánchez, and she are "more united than ever." "We are not going to Europe to learn, Europe also learns with what Spain is doing," said Díaz, who reviewed laws such as that relating to 'riders' –which reaches the Council of Ministers today–, that of labor to distance or the royal decree of salary equality. Along these lines, the Minister of Labor affirmed that "a new social contract" will be rewritten with job stability as the central axis so that young people and those over 45 years of age do not stay out of the labor market at the same time as guarantees access to a retirement pension. For Díaz, the labor reform that she raises not only supposes an «amendment» to the one of the PP of 2012, but it goes much further by its «ambitious» content. Díaz commented that these transformations in the labor market cannot be carried out without putting young people at the center to pay off the "enormous debt" of Spanish society with them. One of the novelties that Trabajo wants to implement is the simplification of long-term unemployment protection aids or for the unemployed who have not covered the minimum contribution period, as well as the creation of a new benefit that would integrate all existing ones and that It would come into force from 2022. According to the document, the amount would amount to 80% of the Iprem, that is, 451.90 euros per month, according to the 2021 indicator. Tax cuts? On the fiscal side, the bulk of tax changes that the Government will approve this legislature will come into effect when GDP reaches its pre-crisis level. In the Recovery Plan sent to Brussels, the Executive undertakes that the fiscal reform will erupt in 2023, the date that corresponds to when the macroeconomic framework estimates that the economy will regain its 2019 level, the Finance Minister explained at a press conference, Maria Jesus Montero. The Government expects a growth of 7% in 2022, yes. What will happen if these estimates are not met? Everything will go according to plan. If we do not get to that moment, the whole calendar changes, "said Montero, noting that the reform will graduate as the economy recovers. The also Government spokesperson opened the door, even, to approve specific tax cuts in 2023, the last year of the legislature, within the tax reform: "If so proposed by the committee of experts, there could even be tax cuts" . In any case, she defended that with the proposals included in the plan, Spain will continue without closing the public income gap with Europe, 7.2 points of GDP, equivalent to 80,000 million euros. She also added that it will continue to collect less from environmental taxation than the Eurozone average. Anyway, the taxation that affects mobility will go in a separate package, she pointed out, in what will affect the fiscal changes to diesel, registration and circulation.

Microsoft has announced that it will permanently remove the Adobe Flash Player component from its Windows 10 operating system, with an update that will be released to all users starting in June. Official support for Adobe Flash ended on December 31, 2020, and since the beginning of December the service has not received security updates and Adobe itself blocks its reproduction. Microsoft has now announced that Windows 10 will receive a specific update to remove Adobe Flash Player, with the technical name KB4577586, which will begin to be disseminated among users of the operating system in versions 1809 (October 2018 update) and later from June. The US company has explained in a statement that it has made this decision to "keep its users safe", because Flash no longer receives security updates. Microsoft has recalled that users who go to the next big update of Windows 10, 21H1 or ‘May 2021’, will already have Flash removed, and has also announced that this will be extended to all their systems with support. For Windows 10 versions 1607 and 1507, as well as monthly updates for Windows 8.1, Windows Server 2012, and Windows Embedded 8 Standard, the update that completely removes Flash will be released in July.

Chinese motherboard manufacturer Onda has launched the new Chia-D32H-D4 motherboard with 32 SATA ports for hard drives and SSDs. It is obviously designed for mining and not to compete with gaming motherboards. The Chia-D32H-D4 motherboard is probably a rebranded version of Onda's existing B365 D32-D4 motherboard. It measures 530 x 310mm, so the Chia-D32H-D4 is not your typical motherboard. The unspecified 800W PSU arrives 80Plus Gold certified, while the case features five cooling fans. If you have 32 hard drives, this motherboard will get you Chia The selling point of Chia-D32H-D4 is obviously the 32 SATA ports on the motherboard, allowing you to take advantage of up to 32 hard drives. The B365 chipset can only provide a limited number of SATA ports, so Chia-D32H-D4 relies on a third-party SATA controller to increase support up to 32. At 18GB per drive, the motherboard can accommodate up to 576GB of storage for all your Chia mining activities, enough for around 5,760 101.4 GiB plots. Based on current Chia network statistics, that would be enough for about 0.05% of Chia's total network space, although it is likely to decline rapidly in the coming days if the cryptocurrency continues to become increasingly po[CENSORED]r. It comes equipped with a standard 24-pin power connector, an 8-pin EPS connector, and up to two 6-pin PCIe power connectors. The latter is designed exclusively to power hard drives. It supports Intel Skylake, Kaby Lake, Coffee Lake and Coffee Lake Refresh processors. The motherboard uses a modest six-phase power supply subsystem, but it should be sufficient to house processors up to the Core i9 level.

RAV4 arrived on Mexican soil in 2003 and immediately became the truck par excellence to transport, comfortably and safely, many Mexican families. Its excellent performance in any type of road caused its consolidation over time, until 2016 became its best year of sales in Mexico with 14,848 units sold. Now, Toyota celebrates that one of its spoiled vehicles exceeds more than 150,000 units sold (154,050 units sold at the end of April), which are a reflection of the confidence that this SUV of the Japanese brand has built over 18 years in Aztec territory. This is how RAV4 has managed to position itself in the top 3 of Toyota's best-selling models throughout its history in Mexico, only below Hilux and Corolla. In 2019, the fifth generation of this SUV once again surprised our country with an electrified hybrid version, joining the Prius, Prius C and Camry at that time in the Toyota family of sustainable mobility, which would later be strengthened with the arrival of Corolla Hybrid and a hybrid Sienna in all its versions. Now its 2021 model year has the task of continuing to forge the RAV4 legend, and it has everything to achieve it, since its gasoline versions have a 2.5 in-line 4-cylinder engine with a maximum power of 204 HP and an automatic transmission of 8 speeds. But that's not all, the XLE version includes significant changes such as the automatic lights system, wireless charger and electric lumbar adjustment in the driver's seat. For the more adventurous, the Adventure is the best choice to explore any road thanks to its five driving modes (Normal, Eco, Sport, Mud & Sand, Rock & Dirt and Snow), with its AWD system that produces an intelligent delivery of torque in all 4 wheels. While the hybrid version is the most powerful because it has an Atkinson cycle Dynamic Force engine that produces a total power of 219 HP, not bad for a vehicle that takes care of the environment and that also integrates a panoramic roof in this model year. All versions of RAV4 2021 boast the new Toyota Global Architecture (TNGA), and now they take even more care in safety matters, because in addition to the electronic assistance of the well-known Star Safety System, it now arrives in Mexico with the exclusive Toyota Safety Sense, system developed by the brand to increase road safety and that focuses on three areas of driver and passenger protection: Pre-collision System, Dynamic Cruise Control with Radar, Lane Keeping Assist and Lane Tracking Assist. But we cannot leave aside its 7 airbags, plus the advanced and complete Star Safety System, coupled with various systems such as ABS, EBD, BA, TRAC, and VSC. RAV4 2021 does not neglect comfort, it has a power button and Smart Key, halogen headlights from the XLE version, 8 "touch screen from the Adventure version, which it shares together with the Limited 19-inch wheels Regarding connectivity, all versions include a bluetooth system, in addition to Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. There are plenty of reasons to ensure that this is only the beginning of more milestones to be achieved for this SUV in Mexico, which comes another 150,000 more units, RAV4.

Podemos has denied ABC the access of its photographers to its headquarters in the Madrid district of Ciudad Lineal this Tuesday to offer information on the electoral results that the training achieves after the closing of the polls of the regional elections in the Community of Madrid. The formation led by Pablo Iglesias guaranteed ABC access this Sunday at noon along with the graphic editors of Efe, Europa Press and 'El Periódico de Catalunya'. However, 24 hours later, he changed his mind and denied our newspaper its entry into the headquarters to introduce the GTres agency into the news coverage approved by the populist formation, without giving any reason. ABC has been developing its informative work without any impediment on the part of the purple formation until this electoral campaign. Podemos' position coincides with today's celebration of World Press Freedom Day. Pablo Iglesias began his electoral pre-campaign in the Community of Madrid by refusing to hold press conferences or answer questions beyond the agreed interviews, as well as for the photographers of any media to graphically collect his actions, which were mostly not notified until after his execution. Two days before the beginning of the electoral campaign he rectified. The change of opinion of Podemos and the refusal of our graphic editors to access its headquarters coincides with the publication in ABC of both information last Sunday and this Monday, accounting for the arrest of one of its employees and a second directly related to the populist formation due to the riots that took place on April 7 in the Plaza de la Constitución in Vallecas during a Vox electoral act. ABC has also reported that a leader of the Bukaneros, a radical left-wing group, is part of Pablo Iglesias' security during this electoral campaign. Podemos also denied access to the ABC photographers to the campaign closing ceremony held on Sunday in the Cuña Verde park, in the Vicálvaro district, under the anti-Covid regulations. It did allow the entry of an editor.

The companies took advantage of the loose limits of Bizum to avoid paying commissions. In June you can only receive money 60 times a month. Today almost everyone uses Bizum, the app that still transfers from the most important banks in Spain to spend money quickly and without commissions. CaixaBank, Santander, BBVA, the old Bankia, Sabadell, Kutxabank, Caja Rural, Unicaja Banco, Ibercaja, Cajamar, Abanca, Bankinter, Liberbank, Laboral Kutxa, Banca March, Banco Mediolanum, Caja de Ingenieros, Cajalmendralejo, Arquia Banca, Bankoa, Banca Pueyo, Caixa Ontinyent, Cajasur, Deutsche Bank, Imagin Bank, ING, Openbank, Orange Bank and Targobank are the banks that operate with Bizum. And these banks have seen that there are companies using it to avoid paying commissions and they want to limit it. More limits on shipments by Bizum Starting next June 15, an individual will only be able to receive money about 60 times a month. And this is the maximum limit because any of the aforementioned banks can decide to allow fewer transactions. Businesses and freelancers were using this platform to charge for products and services, which has been accentuated by the pandemic due to the recommendation not to use physical money. It is true that Bizum has a plan for companies and freelancers, but many wanted to send money instantly and not pay commissions. With 15 million users, a large part of Spanish society has the ability to send money instantly to users of other banks. Bizum's basic plan is designed for individuals, but companies and freelancers that move about five income of money a day could enter within the limits of the basic plan. With the new Bizum limitations, they are left at 60 cash receipts per month, with amounts between half a euro and 1,000 euros, with a maximum of 2,000 euros per day. It is designed to send money between friends, family and small transactions, not businesses. This may affect merchants who sell at consumer fairs, such as a craftsman's stand at a medieval fair and want to attract customers through the option of paying with bizum: but there would have to be many purchases through the app for the duration of that fair .

Thoroughly tested by a team of engineers at Nissan's test facility in Hokkaido, Japan, every element has been carefully reviewed and refined - from acceleration intensity and driving agility to overall silence and comfort. The rigorous development program applies a global approach to better meet the needs of drivers around the world. For example, the winding asphalt at the Hokkaido test facility is designed to simulate the most common roads in other regions. For better evaluation and increased customer safety, Nissan Ariya is also tested at other locations to demonstrate the vehicle's performance capabilities. For example, in European driving environments it is subjected to sharp bends, fast motorways and mountain roads. Nissan vehicle evaluation specialists in Japan and research and development technicians at the Nissan Technical Center in Cranfield, UK work together to share knowledge and best tailor the vehicle to the needs of each local customer. “Creating the Nissan Ariya has been a very intricate but incredibly rewarding journey. As part of this process, we have collaborated with our colleagues in Japan, introducing European customer requirements in the early stages of development, and now conducting final product validation right here on European roads, ”stated Ian Shepherd, Principal. of Project Management of the Nissan Technical Center in Europe. "Thanks to this knowledge and the extensive testing program of our colleagues, we are confident that Nissan Ariya will exceed the expectations of our customers around the world," he added. The most important advantage for customers when it comes to Nissan global engineering is that each new model is tailored to the particular needs of each market, to offer a unique, rewarding and safe driving experience on all roads of the world.

This Wednesday afternoon, the po[CENSORED]r television character Juan Joya Borja, better known for 'El Risitas', died at the Virgen del Rocío Hospital in Seville. 'El Risitas' had to be transferred this noon from the Hospital de la Caridad de Sevilla (where he resided) to the Virgen del Rocío University Hospital in Seville, after a sudden relapse of his illness, where he died in mid-afternoon, according to the sources consulted by ABC de Sevilla. In September 2020, "El Risitas" was admitted to the Hospital de la Caridad in Seville, where he has resided ever since. At 65 years of age and after suffering a leg amputation as a result of an illness, 'El Risitas' requested admission to the institution that was promoted by the Venerable Miguel Mañara and manages the brotherhood of Santa Caridad de Sevilla. The po[CENSORED]r Sevillian actor and comedian rose to fame around the year 2000 from the hand of Jesús Quintero with his appearances in the programs 'El vagamundo' or 'Ratones coloraos', where he recounted his experiences together with the now disappeared 'El Peíto'. His laughter, jokes, his personality and his famous tagline of 'cuñaooo' made him po[CENSORED]r with the nickname 'El Risitas'.

Apple faces two class action lawsuits over the meaning of the words "rent" and "buy" on its AppStore. In the first lawsuit, the lead plaintiff, David Andino, argues that Apple's definition of the two words is misleading, as the company can cancel people's Apple IDs and, along with them, access to the content they purchased through the button buy. Andino argues that Apple allows consumers to rent content rather than buy it outright. If he had known that his access could be cut off at any time, he says he would not have spent as much on iTunes content. A lawsuit that could change how iTunes and the AppStore work Apple responded by arguing that no reasonable consumer would believe that content purchased through iTunes would be available on the platform indefinitely. But the judge of the United States District Court, John Méndez did not consider it valid. The judge rejected a motion filed by Apple that sought to dismiss the lawsuit, thus Andino has gone ahead with its lawsuit for misleading advertising and unfair competition, although it could still be resolved before going to trial. A second class action lawsuit against Apple claims that a user lost $ 24,590 on iTunes, the App Store and in-app purchases along with $ 7.63 in credit on an account that became inaccessible. Apple argues that it is not possible to download each and every one of its videos and apps on a single device because they would occupy more than 1 TB. No Apple device has that capacity and Apple argues that they offer cloud storage and access and download, and that is what you pay for. These lawsuits could set a precedent in the area of user rights. If they go ahead and rule in favor of the plaintiffs, users could have indefinite access to their digital purchases and not be bound by the conditions of the App Store even if their accounts have been deleted to access any digital store.

After several delays, NVIDIA will finally release its new RTX 3080 Ti graphics card in May according to various sources. A source has provided a first photograph of the new Ampere GPU. As previously reported, the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3080 Ti GPU is based on the GA102-225 GPU, and the variant will feature 10,240 CUDA cores paired with 12GB of GDDR6X memory. It is speculated that it will have hashing limitation to discourage Ethereum mining, but it seems that the first models that have been leaked do not have it. The first benchmark of the RTX 3080 Ti is mining Ethereum Reportedly by a leaked version of the NVIDIA RTX 3080 Ti, it appears that the graphics card is not recognized by the driver because the sample being tested is dated before NVIDIA introduced its alleged cryptocurrency mining limiter. Before this was reported to the AIBs, the GeForce RTX 3080 Ti rating samples did not have the limiter. This was revealed by the Igor’sLAB portal. It is not known which rating sample was tested by the leaker, or whether this rating is true. But it is possible that the mining performance depicted in this leak belies the inclusion of the limitation that NVIDIA promised. Based on the screenshot, this particular GeForce RTX 3080 Ti sample would deliver an ETH mining hash rate of 118.9 Mh / s after optimizations like lowering the TDP to 278W and the memory clock to 21.4 Gbps. This makes the NVIDIA RTX 3080 Ti highly desired by miners. This benchmark based on a leak also reveals clock speeds of the NVIDIA RTX 3080 Ti of 1365 MHz and increase of 1665 MHz. That makes it lower than the RTX 3080 and RTX 3090. The 12 GB GDDR6X memory appears to be set to 1188 MHz by default, confirming a speed of 19 Gbps, just like the regular RTX 3080.

The study “An Agenda for Equity-Centered Clean Transportation” found that the clean transportation policies applied in the last decade in the state have not benefited all Californians in the same way. . The researchers found that the low-income communities most affected by pollution have been largely left behind in the “green transition,” which threatens to impact communities of all economic levels through climate change. Following the findings, the researchers recommend creating a regulatory framework to ship zero-emission vehicles on a large scale to low-income areas. "Our state's zero-emission vehicle strategy must take equity into account from the beginning of its creation," the researchers stressed in a statement. The biggest obstacle to achieving environmental goals appears to be the difficulty of offering access to zero-emission vehicles (ZEVs) to moderate- and low-income drivers, who are more likely to own older, polluting vehicles. In response, the researchers recommend continuing reforms to lower the purchase price of new and used zero-emission vehicles, subsidize vehicle financing, and lower the cost of both fuel and electrical infrastructure. The study is revealed as state lawmakers deliberate Governor Gavin Newsom's 2021-2022 budget, which includes a $ 1.5 trillion fiscal bill to meet ZEV vehicle goals for decades to come. “As California transitions to a zero-emission transportation system, a robust and multifaceted agenda of clean transportation policies focused on equity is needed,” said J.R. DeShazo, director of the Luskin Center for Innovation.

The rush that cryptocurrencies have been experiencing since last year is leaving a millionaire hangover for thousands of small investors. In recent months, the 'brokers' of dubious qualification have multiplied which, with the bait of the revaluation of digital currencies such as bitcoin, offer great returns in exchange for large investments. A high-risk business that, on some occasions, hides gigantic fraud. Justice is already following the trail of these cases. Both nationally and internationally. Thus, the Turkish Prosecutor's Office on Friday opened an investigation for "scam" of billions against a po[CENSORED]r cryptocurrency exchange, Thodex, which could have attracted some 390,000 investors. In Spain, this same week it was learned that the judge of the National Court, José Luis Calama, has accepted the inhibition of a court in Arona (Tenerife) to investigate a pyramid scheme related to investments in digital currencies through the company Arbistar 2.0 . A case that would initially have 1,127 affected - but this number could go up to 32,000, according to the bank accounts involved - and an economic loss of more than 41 million euros. But this is not the only case that has reached the Hearing. More than 300 people have filed a macro-complaint against the broker Javier Biosca for the alleged scam of more than 250 million euros through investments in digital currencies. A cause that, according to the lawyer in charge of the case, Emilia Zaballos, could reach 3,000 million euros. The lawyer explains, in statements to this newspaper, that "up to 4,000 investors, both Spanish and other places such as Latin America, have been affected by the plot of Javier Biosca", which began by offering returns close to 34% to its clients. "At first he complied with the agreement, but in the autumn his operations got out of control and he began to delay in payments and even falsify bank documents," she highlights. The investor, whose business is considered a financial bar by the CNMV, has been missing since November. Zaballos, who also chairs the Association of People Affected by Investments in Cryptocurrencies (AAIC), believes that this case perfectly reflects the fever that exists on the internet for cryptocurrencies such as bitcoin. "Well managed, it can become a profitable investment, the problem is that many scammers take advantage of the state of need in which many users have been left by the pandemic to offer products of a very high risk without the necessary knowledge." "There will be more complaints like this in the coming months," the lawyer abounds. Bitcoin has been one of the main assets during the pandemic. In the last year it has multiplied its value by seven, which has hooked certain internet users to the currency, especially a young audience that was already tempted by online sports betting. On this particular path to the top, bitcoin has also hit it hard; it has become even more volatile. So far in April it has yielded almost 20% of its value. Meanwhile, Ethereum, the other major cryptocurrency, dropped more than 10% on Friday. Different analysts also warn that the downward streak will intensify during the next sessions. The CNMV has been tracking this digital money for years. And while he acknowledges that dubious practices already existed in the past, he also admits that these have increased sharply with the arrival of the pandemic. “We have detected an increase in offers and advertising. In recent months, a good part of the warnings we have issued are related to these products ”, explain sources from the market supervisor. The Internet has become a haven for this type of fraud. The network allows you to quickly close and open web pages, and it is also not necessary for the company in charge of these matters to be located in Spain. This makes these types of scams more difficult to detect. "Before, telephone fraud proliferated, now it is through the internet," they explain from the CNMV. Restricted advertising Faced with this increase in investments in cryptocurrencies, the Government approved in March a modification of the securities market law by which it orders the CNMV to regulate the advertising of these assets. Before drafting the corresponding circular, the body led by Rodrigo Buenaventura has launched a public consultation to the sector from which it has obtained 18 responses that it is analyzing. Among the measures that are considered, they explain from the CNMV, are some such as that this advertising has the same conditions as regulated products or that they use clear language and the option of exorbitant returns remains in the background. Warnings are also contemplated, such as including a message similar to that used in the advertising of medicines, or that mass campaigns have to have prior authorization. "A regulation is necessary to protect the small investor and it would be convenient for different courts to specialize in this type of cases," highlights Zaballos, who also demands that the CNMV act ex officio in these plots.

The consumer has rediscovered bleach, a product with two centuries of existence that our grandparents already used and that is now reborn as an effective weapon against the coronavirus thanks to its ability to disinfect surfaces, food and clothing. During the months of strict confinement, when it was very difficult to find masks or gloves in stores, bleach or sodium hypochlorite became a resource that could be found on the supermarket shelves and within everyone's reach. “During the first month of the pandemic, the consumption of bleach skyrocketed in Spain, up to 145%. Consumers went looking for hydroalcoholic gels, but everything was sold out. Therefore, people wiped out bleach, which is the most basic and safest cleaning product, ”says Carlos Prieto, CEO of the Gelt application. The bleach was always available to the end consumer. In the factories they received a flood of requests from the distributors. «In March 2020, the general po[CENSORED]tion became very nervous and needed quick solutions. One of them was bleach, something that was at hand and easily accessible compared to other products ", says Mª de los Llanos Gómez Ferro, Director of Quality at Industrias La Tuna. “We bleach manufacturers were overwhelmed. We have our own brand, but we are closely linked to the distribution brand, we manufacture for large companies at the national level, which are the ones that move the large numbers. There was a time when requests soared that we had to make risky decisions so that everyone had access to the product and a series of quotas were established to be able to distribute it among all, ”says Gómez Ferro. Only during the first months of the pandemic, specifically in the months of March and April, up to 52% more liters of bleach were produced than during the same period in 2019 at the La Tuna factory located in Mejorada del Campo ( Madrid). Faced with this scenario, they had to manage to be able to service all the orders always received in order to redistribute the bleach products in the most equitable way possible so that they reached the largest number of people. "Work shifts were increased, production was restructured with the aim of optimizing it as much as possible and giving priority to the manufacture of bleaches suitable for disinfection of drinking water and bleaches with detergent for their double disinfection and cleaning action", he remarks Gomez Ferro. In almost 90% of homes In general and encompassing all bleach brands - manufacturer and white or distribution - the sales data collected confirm the boom that this disinfectant is experiencing in our country. Its demand shot up 30% in 2020 with penetration in 87.1% of households, that is, 7% more, according to the consulting firm Kantar. During an exercise marked by the coronavirus pandemic, an average of 17.1 liters were purchased for each household in our country. From the figures provided by the consultancy it is also extracted that two-thirds of the liters sold were private label. Although, the manufacturer brands were able to increase the liters sold by 51% more, an advance that allowed them to gain four share points in 2020. Henkel, one of the best known bleach manufacturer brands in Spain with products such as Estrella, Conejo or Neutrex also confirms this spectacular rise in sales. "It is a product that has always been present, but has not grown in recent years and is now experiencing a boom with the pandemic, also due to the very good relationship between quality and price it offers," says Oriol Marín, marketing director for Henkel Laundry & Home Care. “There are alternative products that do not contain bleach, but the level of disinfection is more limited; they are also more expensive and you have to add more product ”, adds Marín. Change of habits Recommendations by different health authorities, including by the World Health Organization (WHO), to use bleach as an effective surface cleaner against COVID have also played an important role in boosting sales of sodium hypochlorite. . “In most of the cleaning and disinfection protocols of the different authorities, its use was recommended, alluding to its disinfectant efficacy together with its availability -at least just before the pandemic- for the consumer. In addition, given the uncertainty of the moment, it resorted to those products that for decades have been associated with disinfection.In addition, to the fact that, due to the confinement and subsequent restrictions, we spend much more time in our homes, we must add the concern for our health, which has led consumers to clean more frequently and more thoroughly, "says Pilar Espina, general director of the Association of Detergents and Cleaning, Maintenance and Related Products Companies (Adelma). The pandemic has also brought a revolution in customs that will continue over time. "There has been a structural change in consumer habits, which is here to stay," adds Xavier Closa, Head of R&D at Henkel Laundry & Home Care. For this reason, bleach maintains sales with a rise of 10 points in the first months of 2021, according to Henkel figures. «We are more at home and it is cleaned more; The concern about eliminating viruses continues ”, points out Marín, also from Henkel. “Perhaps disinfectants, including bleach, will moderate their demand once concerns about the spread of the virus have subsided. On the other hand, it is logical to think that after these months, and with fear that in the future there will be outbreaks or new viruses, we will continue cleaning and, of course, disinfecting our house as a method that we all have at our fingertips, "he says, meanwhile, Espina, from Adelma. "People are afraid and the consumption of bleach is maintained, although they are not the increases of last year and if you compare it with March of last year you obviously see falls. In addition, other alternative products have emerged in the fight against covid, ”Prieto sentence from Gelt.

Google released the third and final developer preview version of its new mobile operating system, Android 12, introducing new features with camera enhancements for video encoding and faster machine learning performance. Before the launch of new versions of Android, Google tends to first launch several previews for app developers, so that they have time to fine-tune their 'software', and later other beta versions to test the stability of the system between the community of testers. This third preview version will be the last before the arrival of the first beta of Android 12, as confirmed by Google in a statement, after launching the first preview in February and the second, in March. In the new version of Android 12, Google incorporated new features in the camera, with improvements in video encoding to ensure the quality of high-resolution video playback. Android 12 also adds support for pixel fusion technologies, which combine four or nine pixels into one to improve image performance in low light conditions, as well as a set of extensions to house the image functions of the camera library. Android from different mobile manufacturers. The new operating system will also improve the performance of machine learning technology, speeding up its operation by reducing inference to less than half. The third preview for Android 12 developers is already available from this Wednesday on Google Pixel phones (Pixel 3, 3 XL, 3a, 3a XL, 4, 4 XL, 4a, 4a 5G or Pixel 5) so that the creators of application adapt their software to the new operating system, and the system is expected to be stable in August.
