  2. Vinicius will pinch himself several times to make sure he is awake, that that video game soccer player control is not part of the dream of a child who dribbles shadows like a briefcase makes moons. No. That control, the goal and another are part of the day he became a man with the Madrid shirt, because of the work and because of his importance, in the first leg of a Champions quarter against a colossus, Klopp's Liverpool and Salah, on a night when there were 19 European Cups (3-1) on the grass. Dreaming of one of them is free. Better awake. What Vinicius finished began in Kroos, the first link. The German raised the periscope. Fire the one! The ball came out with the precision of a torpedo, perfectly calibrated and measured to meet the Brazilian's career. Vinicius was right where he always errs. Fire the two! This time the trajectory was intercepted by Liverpool's anti-aircraft guns, but by its worst element, Alexander-Arnold. The defender involuntarily yielded to Asensio, whose completion, a hat above Alisson, in no way detracted from Vinicius' control and goal. In just over half an hour, Liverpool were traveling with two waterways that would alleviate Salah's isolated goal and his mind set on the return at Anfield, but without Vinicius having said the last word about him. It is the word dream. The two goals with which Madrid went to rest say a lot about the development of the game. In particular, Madrid's success in interpreting where the Achilles heel of Klopp's team was. Everyone knew it was his defense, where casualties accumulated, but you had to know how to attack it. Given that the German coach changed the pieces but not the dynamics, the formula was to look for the back of his wings and centrals when the line advanced. For that no one like Kroos, due to the combination of his peripheral vision and the precision of his foot. He acted like a true 'quarterback' in search of the best possible 'running back': Vinicius. The Brazilian also had the fortune of finding the worst Liverpool player in front of him, at least in Valdebebas. Alexander-Arnold is a good player in offensive progression, but he is diluted in the pure defense role. The mistake in Madrid's second goal was really rude. For Vinicius, the first of many was, finally, one of those round actions that justify what is expected of the Brazilian. He was it for the execution, with a control oriented with the running chest that is 'hors catégorie'. The second and third of Madrid had the courage to put the tie in luck. Anfield is not the same without an audience. KLOPP'S DESPAIR The presence of the Brazilian among the headlines, along with Benzema and Asensio, was already a declaration of intent on the part of Zidane. Despite the absence of Sergio Ramos and Varane, due to a positive for Covid, he decided on a 4-3-3, without the alternative of the three centrals. Nacho was joined by Militao in the center of the area. He did not want to speculate, but to attack, and that is what Madrid did from the first minute. There was the second of his good readings, because he snatched Liverpool's hallmark: a very high pace of play. If anyone had it from the beginning, it was Zidane's team, dynamic, fast, precise in circulation and with greater anticipation in duels, to which antidives such as Lucas Vázquez were delivered. The two-goal lead before the break was the consequence, to Klopp's despair, who minutes before retiring to the locker room he signaled Keita with a substitution. Thiago entered the scene. Liverpool, despite the high pressure exerted, had not been able to compromise Courtois once in the entire first half. Sané was desperate and Salah was not able to control the ball. Either he changed drastically or he succumbed before the turn in Anfiled. Klopp should have been clear in the booth. The first mistake that Madrid had, perhaps confident in their income, allowed the first against Liverpool, resolved by Salah after a shot from Jota that bounced off Modric and found the Egyptian in front of the goal. Away from home, a goal is a treasure. The crash was no longer the same, with a more active Liverpool and a less comfortable Madrid, but no less ambitious. Those of ZZ were prepared to the against. Asensio was able to give the third to Vinicius, but the last defender interrupted him. The Brazilian, however, was anointed and everything that previously supposed a world to him was easy, ethereal, like the blow with which his dream is, today the dream of Madrid.
  3. page from where the news was taken: https://www.abc.es/salud/enfermedades/abci-bares-si-claves-propagacion-comunitaria-covid-19-202104061350_noticia.html Yes, bars and restaurants are ideal places for the transmission of SARS-CoV-2, the virus that causes Covid-19. This is assured by a study published in the Morbidity and Mortality Report of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention of the United States, which collects on the case of a celebration inside a bar in a rural area of Illinois in February that gave lead to 46 new cases of Covid-19 and the spread of the virus in other areas of the state and the closure of a school. The CDC researchers note that this case should serve as a warning about how these indoor events can affect communities. Four of the attendees had symptoms similar to Covid-19 that same day; Of the 46 linked coronavirus infections, there were 26 cases among clients, three in staff members and 17 secondary cases in people infected by them. Secondary cases included children and residents of nursing homes. "The transmission associated with the opening event also caused the closure of a school that affected 650 children and the hospitalization of a resident of a care center for the elderly with Covid-19," the researchers said. Opening environments such as bars, where the use of masks and physical distancing are challenging, can increase the risk of community transmission of SARS-CoV-2 The study authors note that their results demonstrate that "openness to bar-like settings, where mask use and physical distancing are challenging, can increase the risk of community transmission of SARS-CoV-2." The report's authors write that similar gatherings that involve eating or drinking, such as restaurant dinners, weddings, and nightclubs, have already been associated with an increased risk of acquiring Covid-19 and have the potential to become super-spread events for the SARS-CoV-2. But furthermore, they add, this research further demonstrates that inconsistent wearing of masks and inappropriate physical distancing in an indoor environment can increase the risk of transmission, regardless of whether or not there is a celebration. These findings show that the transmission of SARS-CoV originating from a business such as a bar affects not only the customers and employees of the bar, but also an entire community. According to the CDC's Covid-19 guidelines for restaurants and bars, it is important to reduce customer capacity, ensure adequate room air ventilation, prioritize outdoor seating, and promote behaviors such as staying home when you are. sick, wash hands frequently, wear masks, and maintain physical distance. Experts conclude that bars can play a relevant role in the community spread of Covid-19 due to the relaxation in the use of masks when eating or drinking and the lack of permanent physical distancing. Furthermore, "these findings show that the transmission of SARS-CoV originating in a business such as a bar affects not only the customers and employees of the bar, but also an entire community."

  7. The Red Dot Awards is an international design competition organized by Germany's Design Zentrum Nordrhein Westfalen, which has been evaluating and selecting the most aesthetically exciting, functional, smart and innovative products from around the world since 1955. Every year, this prestigious competition rewards excellence in the field of design and communication of products and brands at a global level, with criteria that are constantly updated to the sociocultural context. A jury of 50 international experts chooses the products in almost fifty different categories, from fashion to accessories, through furniture and even vehicles. Davide Grasso, CEO of Maserati, comments: “Our mission was to develop a car that would be remembered in the future as the model that ushered in the New Age of Maserati. And I think we have achieved our goal with the MC20. Maserati is innovative by nature, driven by passion and unique in design: the new supercar embodies all these values and becomes a milestone, being the founding model of this new phase in the brand's history. " Klaus Busse, Head of Design at Maserati, adds: "We are proud to receive this coveted accolade, as it recognizes the work of an entire team that has worked hard on this unique project, creating a car that opens a new chapter in life. history of Maserati ". The MC20, designed by the Centro Stile Maserati in Turin, is a combination of elegance and sporting prowess, a true masterpiece of style, ushering in a new Era for the Trident brand. The focus on performance led to the conception of a vehicle with a distinct personality, with refined aerodynamics and unmistakable lines that do so. The new supercar represents the pure form of speed in Maserati style: a sculptural work of engineering that shows the way to the brand's aesthetic future. The MC20 is innovative by nature, and every detail of the design is functional: the butterfly doors are not only incredibly beautiful, but also improve the ergonomics of the car and allow optimal access to the cabin.

A vehicle whose superb appearance hides an uncompromising sporting soul, with the new 630 hp Nettuno V6 engine capable of accelerating from 0 to 100 km / h in less than 2.9 seconds and with a top speed of more than 325 km / ha. The patented engine was conceived, developed, designed and built entirely by Maserati, using pre-chamber combustion technology derived from Formula 1 engines.
  8. Asier Illarramendi, whose soul had hurt in the previous 24 hours, suddenly everything stopped hurting. Jokin Aperribay, his president for more than 12 years, always so measured, grabbed him and kissed him when he saw him pass by the box towards the dreamed moment, for Felipe VI to give him that Cup frozen in time for a year. And still lame because of the injury in the twin that had left him out of the game in the training before the final, Illarra corresponded to the carantoña, picked up the trophy and went to the center of the field to lift it there, which is where they should raise the titles. "We have deserved it, there is a lot of work behind it," said the captain of the Real while the one who served as such in the game, wiped away his tears as best he could. It was Mikel Oyarzabal, the author of the winning penalty, who in his day resisted twice the millionaire temptation presented by Athletic to become the new idol and leader of Real Sociedad. When he did, the txuriurdin was a team whose course alternated lashes. Today he heads a solid and defined project, with a recognizable style of play and since last night undoubtedly effective. "This is the host," Oyarzabal was right to say, undoubtedly a symbol of this team. Who for a time was and ended up giving up being one, Iñigo Martínez, was also the protagonist, with that false expulsion and the penalty that decided everything. Ondarroa's is proud and brave, but that did not prevent him from approaching Jokin Aperribay, the president who was left composed and without a central on January 30 to sign for the eternal rival, to congratulate him on the victory. Aitor Elizegi also received a sincere congratulatory hug from the president of the Real. "This is just the beginning," promises Aperribay, pondering the courage of Imanol Alguacil, the man who has definitively fitted the pieces of the project. "I am very proud. I have been fortunate to be in the right place at the right time," said the Oriotarra, the most fervent of Real fans, a club legend since yesterday.
  9. Although banks are free to decide what services they offer to their clients and to set rates and surcharges, there are cases in which the amounts of the commissions are subject to limits and also, they cannot be applied without order or measure. From the OCU consumer organization they emphasize that there are caps in the case of commissions for early cancellation of a mortgage and that charges or expenses for services not accepted or firmly requested by the client cannot be established. Nor can surcharges be imposed two or more times for the same concept. Therefore, a commission is considered to be undue when the entity does not provide the service charged, if the client did not request the service or renounced it and also in the event that an amount is charged that exceeds the agreed rates. “In effect, entities can freely agree commissions with their clients for the services they provide. Of course, they must first inform them personally and in advance of their costs, "they recall from the OCU. Change of conditions Despite the inadmissibility of some commissions, banks can modify the conditions of the products they offer to their customers at any time. However, in the case of contracts of indefinite duration, the entity must notify the client of the change at least two months in advance. Therefore, if the increase in a maintenance commission, which can now reach up to 240 euros per year, has been executed without having communicated it or without meeting the deadlines, the client may claim this amount, as they remember from the OCU. The first step must go in the direction of trying to reach an agreement with the entity so that it returns the amount overcharged. If this is not achieved, the customer can resort to filing a claim with the customer service or the customer ombudsman of his bank. To check which services are of each of the entities supervised by the Bank of Spain, you must enter the website of the Bank of Spain's banking client portal and click on the Claims the entity section, where you must fill in the requested data. If after completing this procedure, the client does not agree with the answer or there is no answer; The next step would be to file a claim with the Bank of Spain's Market Conduct and Claims department. However, the resolutions of the Bank of Spain are merely informative -they are not binding-, they are not considered an actionable administrative act and neither do they oblige the disbursement of compensation in the event of financial damage since only the courts of law can order it. Despite this, more and more entities decide to abide by the resolutions of the Bank of Spain, stand out from the OCU. Commission increases in 2020 After the strong increases applied in 2020 to less connected clients, the cost of maintaining an account now ranges from 67 euros to 240 euros per year in some cases. The rest of the commissions must be added to this amount, such as those applied to cards or certain transfers. There are also surcharges of 37 to 43 euros per year for the credit card; from 22 to 35 euros for the debit card and from 37 to 45 euros for transfers.
  10. FCA noted that commercial vehicle fleet sales also saw a sharp increase of 24 percent during the first quarter. Fleet sales accounted for 19 percent of the company's total in the quarter. "Despite strong sales at the beginning of last year, before Covid-19 shook us all, this quarter there was a very strong recovery in sales to individuals compared to a year ago," said the FCA sales manager in the United States, Jeff Kommor, in a statement. Of the six FCA brands, four experienced sales increases and only Dodge and Fiat reduced their demand compared to 2020. One more quarter, Jeep, the brand specializing in SUVs and SUVs, was the group with the highest sales, with 197,545 units, 8 percent more than a year ago; and followed by Ram, the manufacturer of pickup trucks and vans, with 162,920 units, a growth of 16 percent. Chrysler sold 39,737 units, up 32 percent from a year ago, while Alfa Romeo grew 25 percent to 4,646 vehicles. For its part, Dodge sales fell 28 percent to 63,988 units, while Fiat's fell to 815 units, also 28 percent less than in 2020. One of Jeep's biggest models, the Wrangler, had its best first quarter ever with the sale of 49,646 vehicles, a 25 percent increase from a year ago. Grand Cherokee sales increased 10 percent to 55,198 units.
  11. This previous one, a year ago and without Covid in between, would have been about the mother of all parties. Imagine the scene, even if it hurts. The hubbub of the wonderful Sevillian Holy Week seasoned with the visit to the Andalusian capital of tens of thousands of Basques, many more than fit in La Cartuja, arrived from Bilbao and San Sebastián with their happy pockets and their healthy coexistence regardless the colors of your shirt. The reality these days, however, has been very different. Contained Holy Week, just a handful of Sevillian peñistas and, tonight, tens of thousands of Basques resigned to watching the game on television and locked in their homes. The circumstances, in short, are far from what was desired and unfortunately it was useless to postpone the final for a year instead of playing it last summer. But what nothing can take away from this party is its historical significance. With or without the public, in 2020 or 2021, the Basque derby that takes place tonight at the La Cartuja Stadium will be eternal. Because many years from now, even generations, those who win today and their children, and their grandchildren ... will still remind their neighbors that in 2021 one of them touched glory at the expense of the other. A denouement that, on both sides of the A-8, haunts even more than hopes of a triumph. Specifically in Bilbao, with the prospect of another final against Barcelona in 14 days, there is no doubt: if you have to choose victory in a single final, let it be today. And it is that never in history has there been a Basque derby with greater significance than this one. Due to the rivalry itself and due to the drought that both teams are going through. Athletic has not raised the title since 1984, despite having already had three chances, all against Barça; while the Real triumphed for the last time in 1987 and played its last final the following year. Only Silva, Monreal and Moyá had already been born in the San Sebastian squad, none in Bilbao. Aduriz had done it, but the postponement of the final prevents him from playing it, a circumstance that he shares with, among others, Beñat and San José in Athletic, with Odegaard, Willian José and Llorente in La Real. All of them will be champions if their former team wins today. In return, new protagonists appear, such as Berenguer, Silva and four players who, curiously, had been eliminated in the semifinals, all from Real: Merquelanz, Guridi, Sagnan and Carlos Fernández. And Marcelino himself, of course. ILLARRAMENDI INJURY The scenario will be the same one in which Athletic won the Super Cup a couple of months ago. «When you enter here, the first memory that comes to mind is the great moment of happiness that we lived. But that's history, "said the Athletic coach on Friday, who added one more personal challenge to all the aforementioned challenges: revalidating his status as current Cup champion, achieved with Valencia in 2019. If he succeeds, he will be the first coach in history to win two titles in a row with two different clubs. It is difficult to predict a favorite. La Real is better in the League -10 points ahead-, but Athletic has grown a lot since the arrival of Marcelino - a victory in the Super Cup and this year's Cup final - and has more footballers with experience in finals. “The team that faces the game with the most personality is going to have a lot to win. The small details will be decisive ”, predicted Imanol Alguacil, minutes before seeing how Illarramendi was injured in the previous training. A drop, if confirmed, of draft. If he can do it, the captain will force. Nobody wants to miss the derby of all time.
  12. It's impossible to know if ex-cop Derek Chauvin will take the stand to defend his innocence in the George Floyd death trial. The episode of police abuse against the black minority that last summer shook the US and the world has reached the end of its first week. At least another two weeks of evidence and witness questioning remain, and it is unclear whether the defense will choose to call Chauvin to defend his thesis that Floyd did not die from the suffocation of the policeman's knee against his neck, but rather there is reason to believe that the determining factor in his death was a mixture of drug use, medical condition and the adrenaline of the moment. This week, at least, the jurors who will decide the fate of Chauvin, who faces murder charges, could see what the police reaction was as soon as the arrest that ended with Floyd's death was completed. The Prosecutor's Office presented this Wednesday unseen recordings of the personal cameras of the police officers who participated in the operation, including that of Chauvin. In an excerpt, Chauvin interacts with one of the passers-by who witnessed the arrest. The policeman had suffocated Floyd, handcuffed and lying on the ground, pressing his knee against his neck, for almost ten interminable minutes that several witnesses witnessed, and that some recorded on their mobile phones. Right after an unconscious Floyd was taken away by an ambulance, one of those, Charles McMillan, confronted Chauvin, telling him that he had no respect for the way he had treated the victim. "It is the opinion of one person," replied the policeman, the first time that public opinion had heard anything about Chauvin's reaction to his performance, recorded with his body camera. "We had to control this guy because he's a big guy," he justified before adding, "Looks like he was probably wearing something." Those few words distill the defense that Chauvin's lawyers will use: Floyd had to be controlled by the cop because of his size - "it was not an easy fight," said Eric Nelson, who leads his defense, in opening statements at the trial - and the The drugs he had used were a decisive factor in his death and not so much the drowning tactic the officer used. Those images have not been the only novelty contributed by the first days of the trial. In Wednesday's session, a reconstruction of the last minutes of Floyd's life was made with other recordings not seen until now. For example, the security camera at Cup Foods, the Minneapolis store where the tragedy began. In the image you see a smiling, animated Floyd, who greets a client affectionately - he was a regular in the establishment, the typical local neighborhood where basic necessities are sold, food, fast food, snacks, drinks, cafes, there are millions of them in the US - chat with one of the employees. Floyd wears the same clothes in which he appears in the video of his arrest, the one that ran like wildfire on social networks and caused protests throughout the country, a narrow black tank top that barely covers his great muscles and wide pants. Then the moment that triggered it all. He fingers a wad of bills and pays with a $ 20 bill. The clerk soon realized that he was a fake, he went looking for him and ended up calling the police. At trial, the clerk, 19-year-old Christopher Martin, showed guilt: if he had let it pass - the employees pay with his salary if they slip false bills - Floyd would not have died. "Don't shoot me, man." Images recorded by the body cameras of the other three officers who participated in the arrest could also be seen. All three, like Chauvin, were expelled from the Minneapolis police force and are awaiting trial for complicity in Floyd's death. In them you can see how they are going to get Floyd, put in his vehicle after passing through the store, they point their guns at him and demand that he show his hands. "Don't shoot me, man," Floyd begs from the car. "I just lost my mother!" The victim resisted for several minutes to enter the car under arrest. At that moment Chauvin was already on the scene, who ended up executing the maneuver in which Floyd lost his life. Many pieces are missing to be explained in the trial of Floyd's death. Some may have been lost. This Thursday it was learned that Chauvin's defense will not be able to count on the testimony of Morries Hall, the man who was in Floyd's car when he was arrested. In his initial statement, the police attorney said that Hall and another person in the car, Shawanda Hill, were going to testify that Floyd had taken two pills - presumably opiates - just before the officers arrived.
  13. Prosenjak began his career as a journalist during his college years. He took his first professional steps on Slovenian radio and television stations. With the rise of digitization, he turned to general online media and only a little later to motor journalism. His great work in the sector soon earned him recognition as responsible for all issues related to Formula 1 on Avtomanija, the country's main automotive website. She has also created the online publication Njen avto, focused on car-loving women. "As one of the few women in the motor world in Slovenia, I have detected a lack of information in this regard: despite the large number of female drivers and the large number of fans interested in cars and motorsports , there is no voice that represents them, and no one that addresses this specific demographic. In the automotive world there are still many prejudices and stereotypes associated with women. I like to help clarify misconceptions and normalize things in this field ". "For this reason, given my condition as a journalist, it seemed to me that the most natural thing was to approach this type of content. I believe that I can also contribute to improving road safety, in addition to continuing to delve into everything that technology can offer to lovers of the automotive world. As a woman in a predominantly male profession, my goal is to present content in a different way, from a different point of view. " Avtomanija is the oldest automotive website in Slovenia (created in 1998). It covers a wide range of topics related to the world of motorsport, in addition to motorsport - F1, the WRC, MotoGP, etc. Its paper edition has for years been the only printed medium dedicated to motors in Slovenia. On the other hand, Njen avto is also an established publication in Slovenia. It is aimed primarily at a female audience. It offers points of view on the product and the sport with which women identify. It is a means that not only contributes to redefining the role of women in this sector, but also facilitates the exchange of experiences and knowledge. For Slovenians, the car is a fundamental element in their lives and one of the most important acquisitions for an average family. Most of the po[CENSORED]tion over 18 years of age have a driving license and also their own car. As in other markets, crossovers are becoming more po[CENSORED]r and electrification is also on the rise. Slovenia, with its two million inhabitants, is a Central European country that serves as the link between Western and Eastern Europe and the Balkans.
  14. Spain is a coin in the air. And like all coins in the air, it can fall from either side. It can be expensive, and you even have a chance of winning the Euro if you get down the road and have some luck. But it can also be a cross, and be eliminated at the first change in a group where Sweden, Poland and Slovakia will be (falling in this group stage is almost impossible because three of those four pass). Edge, the coin cannot fall. Spain is a coin in the air from the lineup, which Luis Enrique shakes like a goblet moves a dice during a game of Parcheesi. Spain is a coin in the air against any rival, also against one as weak as yesterday, which he shook for 20 minutes in the second half. Spain is a coin in the air, in short, and the question is whether it can be something more than that with the wickers it has. Surely yes, but it is not clear how. With this coach, of course, he will continue to be what he is. A coin in the air. Once the quartermaster recommended by the Government to avoid calling Kosovo Kosovo, and also overcome the astonishment of not seeing Sergio Ramos in the eleven when, theoretically, he did not have any health problems, the game was what everyone expected him to be . Something more entertaining than the sessions against Greece and Georgia, mainly because Kosovo (which is called Kosovo) plays much more open than previous rivals, and of course, when you are so inferior and on top of that you open up, you facilitate the work of a team like Spain, which still took more than half an hour to break the scoreboard. He did it with two goals from his two extremes, Dani Olmo and Ferran Torres, two of Luis Enrique's most determined bets, if such a term can be applied to the coach. The rest of the first part hardly served to intuit where the shots are going to go in the next Eurocup. The Asturian coach reduced the changes in the eleven from seven to four, and the first thing that became clear is his bet on goal. Unai Simón is the starting goalkeeper of the Spanish team. That would be the headline. But that only means that, if the Eurocup does not start tomorrow, Simón would be the goalkeeper. But of course, who knows what will go through the head of the coach in two and a half months, which is when the tournament is played. Other convictions, firm today, tomorrow who knows, of the coach are Eric García, who has played everything in this series of matches, Ferrán and Olmo, Morata (who have participated in most of the minutes) and even Koke or Busquets, with two parties each. And Pedri? Well, Pedri played the last half hour against Greece and then chained two starts, and that against the Greeks, on the first day, he was much more discreet than his teammate Bryan Gil, whose flash in Granada only served to start against Georgia and last Half part. They are twists and turns of the owner of the bench, delighted with his fixed proposal that there is nothing fixed. Against Kosovo (which is called Kosovo), then, the team started with more dynamism, but little by little it faded. He was happy, of course, with the goals, but he did not discover any outbreak, neither green nor of any color, that makes us suspect which version of this team we are going to find in the Euro. In the second part, the coin followed through the air. There is no better way to define how Kosovo shook Spain for 20 minutes, and how thanks to a rude, very rude mistake by Unai Simón (who knows if this will fuel the goal debate again) the small Balkan team came to put yourself in a position to tie the game. He did not do it because in a corner Gerard Moreno scored the third to give way from that moment to the other attraction of the night: Sergio Ramos. The captain played the last four minutes to add 180 caps. It is worth wondering if an official party is an acceptable scenario to make such a concession, which is not the first. One wonders why the captain, always indisputable, has been a substitute twice in a row if, as all the parties say, he was physically well. One wonders why, if he has been a substitute, he has to play those last four minutes. In short, it is worth wondering what has surrounded Ramos this week. It is difficult to manage worse a presence or non-presence in the field of a myth, stained like it or not by the show.

The annual report on Human Rights of North American diplomacy affirms that, during the exceptional circumstances of a global pandemic, the Chavista regime in Venezuela has taken the opportunity to establish itself in power, increasing its corruption and repression with the help of its Cuban partners. In fact, in its list of priorities, this report, relative to 2020, assures that "the corruption of Nicolás Maduro aggravated the terrible humanitarian crisis of the Venezuelan people", something that puts the harassment of the Venezuelan people at the level only of the war in Yemen. opponents of Vladimir Putin in Russia, crimes against humanity in Syria and the persecution of ethnic and religious minorities in China. According to the report, “the illegitimate Maduro regime threatened, harassed and arrested journalists, opposition politicians and health workers for reporting on Covid-19 and the response to the pandemic. [The organization] Espacio Público documented at least 59 arrests as of September for Covid-19 coverage. This document, made public this Tuesday, denounces that Maduro renewed three times a state of alarm issued on March 13, alleging the Covid-19 pandemic as a reason, "and was granted the power to restrict the rights provided for in the constitution." “The 60-day emergency decree, which by law is renewable once and requires an endorsement to be effective, allows the president to block any action that he considers could 'undermine national security' or 'obstruct the continuity of the implementation of economic measures for the urgent reactivation of the national economy '". The report collects the many complaints of extrajudicial killings, kidnapping and torture by the regime with the help of the Cuban intelligence and security services. This report also states that on December 6, "the illegitimate Maduro regime organized rigged parliamentary elections in favor of the regime, and almost 60 countries and international organizations publicly declared that the elections were neither free nor fair." The US diplomacy also includes the list of abuses by Chavismo, which is long: «Illegal or arbitrary executions, including extrajudicial executions by the security forces of the illegitimate Maduro regime and the collectives; enforced disappearances; torture and cruel, inhuman and degrading treatment by the security forces; harsh and possibly deadly prison conditions; arbitrary detention by the security forces; political prisoners; serious problems with the independence of the judiciary; and illegal interference with the right to privacy ”. The report has been produced since 1977 and it analyzes the situation of Human Rights throughout the planet. To develop it, the Department of State's Division for Democracy, Human Rights, and Labor Affairs uses reports from US embassies, foreign governments, and nongovernmental organizations. Each year, this detailed analysis is sent to the Capitol to be recorded in the legislative chambers and to serve as a guide for the approval of laws that affect the country's foreign relations.
  16. Bleep is a program from Intel that filters voice chat so players don't have to suffer insults. They want online gambling to be more secure and inclusive. Thanks to online gaming, we can play with people from all over the world and communicate with them through text chat and voice chat. But this type of communication presents the possibility that we will come across toxic players who make anti-minority comments, such as homophobic or sexist comments. Text chat is relatively easy to moderate, voice chat is not, and is something Intel wants to address with its Bleep software. A control to voice chat to make it safe Intel has introduced software designed to filter out harmful language and hate speech in voice chats when gaming. Bleep will use artificial intelligence processing to eliminate insults and hate speech, even before they reach the other extreme. The software will constantly record the conversation as text, filtering out any abusive language and monitoring the conversation to remove the hate message when appropriate. The content that can be censored is the misogynistic message, insults, racist and homophobic messages, among others. Users will be able to say to what degree they want the filter to act, in case users can take some of the insults. According to Intel, 22% of users can end up leaving games after being insulted or after receiving hate messages. Bleep was announced in 2019, but now Intel has plans to release a final version to consumers this year. They have not specified how they will distribute it, but they can easily integrate the program into prefabricated computers or laptops that carry some of its components, as well as put it as a free download on their website.
  17. Samsung has unveiled a new RAM module that shows the potential of DDR5 memory in terms of speed and capacity. The 512GB DDR5 module is the first to use High-K Metal Gate (HKMG) technology, which can deliver speeds of 7,200 Mbps. That's more than double that of DDR4 RAM, according to Samsung. Right now, this 512GB DDR5 RAM from Samsung is targeting data supercomputing, artificial intelligence, and machine learning functions. But DDR5 technology is expected to eventually make its way to home PCs, powering games and other applications. Advances in RAM technology Samsung first used HKMG technology in 2018 with GDDR6 chips originally used in GPUs. Developed by Intel, it uses hafnium instead of silicon, and metals replace normal polysilicon gate electrodes. All of that allows for higher chip densities, while reducing leakage. Each chip uses eight layers of 16GB DRAM chips for 128GB or 16GB capacity. Samsung needs 32 of them to make a 512GB RAM module. In addition to having both higher processing speed and capacity, Samsung said the chip uses 13 percent less power than non-HKMG modules. This would make it ideal for data centers to save on their electricity consumption, and also for home computers when this technology is more accessible to consumers. Reaching a speed of 7,200 Mbps, the latest Samsung module would offer transfer speeds of around 57.6 GB / s on a single channel. In a Samsung press release, Intel noted that its 512GB DDR5 RAM would be compatible with its next-generation Xeon "Sapphire Rapids" scalable processors. That architecture will use an eight channel DDR5 memory controller. They estimate that they could reach memory configurations of several terabytes with memory transfer speeds of up to 460 GB / s.

  19. With the addition of Daqing, Volvo Cars' global manufacturing network is now almost 90 percent powered by climate-neutral electricity, an important step towards achieving the climate-neutral goal of all the company's manufacturing operations for the year. 2025. In the future, the Daqing factory, located in Heilongjiang province, will run on electricity from biomass (83 percent) and wind power (17 percent), which are estimated to reduce the annual CO2 emissions of the factory at approximately 34,000 tons. Specifically, the biomass power plants supplying the Daqing factory use locally sourced and sustainably sourced agricultural and forestry waste. "For Volvo Cars, sustainability is as important as safety," says Javier Varela, Senior Vice President, Industrial Operations and Quality. "To achieve our ambitious environmental goals, addressing the emissions from our manufacturing network is critical and I am very pleased that Daqing is running and on 100 percent climate-neutral electricity." Apart from the Daqing milestone, Volvo Cars has made progress in reducing emissions from all of its factories in China. In recent months it has been in close contact with its local suppliers to encourage them to do the same and switch to 100 percent climate neutral energy. So far the response has been very positive. To achieve its goal of climate-neutral manufacturing operations by 2025, Volvo Cars needs access to climate-neutral electricity and heating. Achieving this objective forces the company to find partners in governments and companies that support the development of sustainable alternatives. "We can only achieve our climate action goals by working with our suppliers," says Javier Varela. "We are encouraged by the support we have received so far in China and we want to be a benchmark in sustainability for the sector." The climate neutrality target for Volvo Cars' factories is part of the company's climate plan, one of the most ambitious in the automotive industry. The key element of the plan is Volvo Cars' goal to become an all-electric vehicle manufacturer by 2030. However, this plan is not limited to the goal of reducing exhaust emissions through electrification, but also addresses the carbon emissions of the company's overall operations and its supply chain, as well as the recycling and reuse of the materials. In the short term, with this and other measures we want to reduce the life cycle carbon footprint of all our vehicles by 40 percent between 2018 and 2025. By 2040, Volvo Cars wants to be a company without impact on the climate.
  20. Because of the renewed strength of some, because of the weakness of others, because of the general equality ... few times has a Euroleague been so competitive. To the point that, with three days to go, there is only one team, Barça, mathematically classified for the quarter-finals and, furthermore, as seeded. The rest are in a mess. Well, not all. Some classics have not even had a chance to fight for the crown for days. Who remembers a quarter-final without Maccabi, Olympiacos or Panathinaikos? In the last 25 years, up to 13 Euroleague have carried his stamp. The calculators fume, although perhaps none like that of Real Madrid, another 'noble' in serious trouble. With three games to go, his chances of not being in the top eight are a reality. Because his calendar is one of the most complicated among those involved and because his feelings lately have not been the best. The only relief for Pablo Laso is that he recovers Rudy Fernández for the key week. "DEPEND ON US" Of the three games, it is very likely that he will not be worth it with only winning one. To begin with, this Tuesday he receives Anadolu Efes from Shane Larkin and Vasilje Micic. After Barça, perhaps the team with the most favorite ballots. And the Turks, who did not start the course on the right foot, play the home court factor in their favor in the fight for the Final Four in Cologne. "We play against, if not the best, one of the best teams in Europe. They have very determined players. We must maintain defensive strength and regain our offensive freshness. We aspire to compete at the best level because, if not, winning at Efes is very difficult "Laso warned. Then on Friday, also at the WiZink, they host Olympiacos. A priori the most affordable stake, as the Greeks will be mathematically eliminated. And the whites will close next Thursday the 8th at Sinan Erdem, visiting a Fenerbaçe who, depending on the results, could not risk anything or life itself. "There are three games left, in the situation we are in, we must depend on ourselves. We have to win all three but I'm only worried about tomorrow. I can't think later," warns the white coach. Therefore, the white options are to prevail in the final three games (they could even be seeded), win two and most likely be the eighth and face them against Barça or win one or none and be out. Keep in mind that he has the lost average with both Baskonia and Valencia. Leaving Efes and CSKA out of the equation for the quarterfinals, everyone else down to the very Valencia Basket who now occupies 10th place are in the fray. What's more, if logic were followed, the taronjas would have a very good time to advance, since their tasks seem the most affordable: they receive Olympiacos (although they have never beaten them at La Fonteta), they travel to Berlin and the week that is coming, they will face Baskonia in a fratricidal and decisive duel. Of course, those of Ponsarnau will need to win their three games. Like those of Ivanovic, who this Tuesday visit Panathinaikos and then receive Efes.
  21. The Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs, Latin America and for the Caribbean, Cristina Gallach, has extended her Central American tour to visit Venezuela for two days, according to the cabinet led by Arancha González Laya in a statement. This visit, although officially aimed at "taking an interest in the humanitarian response to the Covid-19 pandemic, as well as supporting the national dialogue in the search for a political solution to the country's crisis," occurs with the rescue crisis. to the Hispanic-Venezuelan airline Plus Ultra hot. According to Foreign Affairs, Gallach will maintain, as of tomorrow, "numerous contacts with the main Venezuelan actors." Among them she includes "representatives of the Maduro government, the democratic opposition, civil society, academia, companies and NGOs." Foreign Affairs emphasizes that, with these meetings, it is intended to evaluate "in what way Spain can contribute to the resolution of the current situation in Venezuela and the Venezuelans." Gallach will also have the opportunity to hold meetings to inquire about the vast Spanish colony in Venezuela, where more than 150,000 Spanish citizens reside.

  23. A lawsuit against Apple agrees that Apple has infringed digital rights patents. A Texas court estimates the fine at 308 million. A federal court in Texas has ordered Apple to pay $ 308 million for infringement of digital rights patents, or DRM, on the iTunes service. Given this result, Apple has decided to appeal it so that this trial will extend several sessions and calls before having a firm result. PMC sues Apple for iTunes patent infringement Late on Friday, Texas federal jurors ordered Apple to pay royalties to PMC, which is generally based on the amount of sales of a product or service. Apple has commented that it is not satisfied with the verdict and planned to appeal. He commented that "these types of lawsuits based on companies that simply patent instead of offering services and products, attack their innovation and consumers." PMC, a company dedicated to the registration of licenses, sued Apple in 2015 alleging that the iTunes service of the technology giant infringed seven of its registered patents. Apple successfully challenged PMC's case in the United States patent office, but an appeals court in March last year reversed that decision. It is what has caused this result that makes Apple have to pay 308 million for breaching these patents. Having appealed the result, it will go to a higher court. PMC may continue to accuse Apple of breaching its patents on iTunes. This case will continue until no further appeal can be made or one of the parties decides to be fully satisfied with the result and accept the fine in the case of Apple, or to accept Apple's defense of using the DRM registered by the PMC company.
  24. No stable prices for graphics for up to a year With the limited supply of GPUs available to the public and the high demand, it is normal for prices to rise. Today it is very difficult to purchase an RTX 3060 at the originally advertised price. The manufacturer MSI that is dedicated to marketing GPUs from both NVIDIA and AMD, warns that in the near future, prices will rise to reflect reality. It has not elaborated on what could cause graphics card prices to drop or stabilize. For now, users can only wait for prices to stop rising. That could happen when the Covid-19 pandemic reduces its impact on factories and with it the production of components and semiconductors returns to its usual rhythm. And it is that this shortage of components is affecting every manufacturer of hardware or electronic devices, as it happens to Samsung. Another factor that could affect the availability of graphics cards and their prices is for AMD and NVIDIA to tackle the problem that modern GPUs are too juicy for cryptocurrency missionaries. NVIDIA is preparing models without video laida to be what the miners want and have the limitation of hashing by drivers, but AMD does not want to lose that market.
