Sharks may star in the bloodiest blockbusters—and sure, spiders tend to monopolize the phobia department—but when you get down to the facts, those are merely two classes of creatures among the scariest to stalk the planet. In fact, there are many ferocious beasts, both large and small, that are downright deadly. From actively contributing to signifiant loss of human life, to packing enough venom to put unlucky travelers out of commission, here are the 13 most dangerous animals in the world—and where to find them. Cape Buffalo Getty 13. Cape Buffalo Cape buffalo, which number around 900,000, are a relatively mild species when left alone, preferring to travel in massive herds to graze in early morning and late afternoon hours, or to gather around watering holes to stay hydrated. However, if an individual (or its calf) is threatened or wounded, they become the incarnation of their nickname: Black Death. Reportedly responsible for killing more hunters on the continent than any other creature, these behemoths, which can grow up to nearly six feet tall and weigh close to a ton, circle and stalk their prey before charging at speeds of up to 35 miles per hour. They’re even known to continue charging no matter where they’re injured and will not hesitate to attack moving vehicles. Suffice to say, you don’t want to mess with those horns. Where to find them: Sub-Saharan Africa, including Kruger National Park in South Africa Cone Snail Getty 12. Cone Snail Found in the warm waters in the tropics, these beautiful creatures—instantly recognizable for their highly prized brown-and-white marbled shells—can be seen in shallow depths closer to shore, near coral reefs and rock formations, and beneath sandy shoals. But do not dare to touch the 4- to 6-inch long gastropods: Their concealed, harpoon-like “teeth” contain a complex venom known as a conotoxin, making them one of the most venomous species of snails. Only a handful of people ever stung, but, quite unfortunately, there is no antivenom. The toxin stops nerve cells from communicating with one another; so the creature not only causes paralysis within moments, but, per its nickname of “cigarette snail," affords you about enough time to smoke a stick before you die. Where to find them: The Caribbean, Hawaii, and Indonesia WATCH Summertime in Sydney ADVERTISEMENT Golden Poison Dart Frog Getty 11. Golden Poison Dart Frog The poison dart is a large, diverse group of brightly colored frogs, of which only a handful of species are particularly dangerous to humans. The most deadly, the golden poison dart, inhabits the small range of rain forests along Colombia’s Pacific coast, and grows to around two inches long (roughly the size of a paper clip). Its poison, called batrachotoxin, is so potent that there’s enough in one frog to kill ten grown men, with only two micrograms—roughly the amount that would fit onto the head of a pin—needed to kill a single individual. But what makes the amphibian especially dangerous is that its poison glands are located beneath its skin, meaning a mere touch will cause trouble. Little wonder the indigenous Emberá people have laced the tips of their blow darts used for hunting with the frog’s toxin for centuries. Sadly, deforestation has landed the frog on several endangered lists, but even if you do have a rare sighting when hiking, don’t go reaching for it. Where to find them: Northern South America Box Jelly fish Getty 10. Box Jellyfish Often found floating (or slowly moving at speeds close to five miles per hour) in Indo-Pacific waters, these transparent, nearly invisible invertebrates are considered by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration as the most venomous marine animal in the world. Their namesake cubic frames contain up to 15 tentacles at the corners, with each growing as much as 10 feet long, all lined with thousands of stinging cells—known as nematocysts—that contain toxins that simultaneously attack the heart, nervous system, and skin cells. While antivenoms do exist, the venom is so potent and overwhelming that many human victims, of the hundreds of reported fatal encounters each year, have been known to go into shock and drown or die of heart failure before reaching shore. Even if you are lucky enough to make it to the hospital and receive the antidote, survivors can sometimes experience considerable pain for weeks afterward, and bear nasty scars from the creature’s tentacles.

Indian Saw-Scaled Viper While plenty of snake species pack enough venom to easily bring down a human, not all of them take the multifaceted approach of the Indian saw-scaled viper, which is why they are one of the top contributors to snakebite cases. Sometimes called the little Indian viper or simply the saw-scaled viper, these reptiles live in some of the most po[CENSORED]ted regions of the range they occupy, which stretches well beyond India. They remain inconspicuous by using their natural camouflage to blend into desert surrounds. Because they are typically active at night, it’s best to listen for their defensive sizzling sound; this comes from a behavior called stridulation, in which the snake forms coils and rubs its scales together. Even with a warning, saw-scaled vipers are extremely aggressive, with more than double a lethal dose into each bite. (Luckily, there is an effective antivenom.) Where to find them: Parts of the Middle East, Central Asia, and the Indian subcontinent Puffer Fish Getty 8. Pufferfish Pufferfish, also known as blowfish, are located in tropical seas around the globe. Though they’re the second most poisonous vertebrate on the planet (after the golden arrow dart frog), they’re arguably more dangerous as their neurotoxin (called tetrodotoxin) is found in the fish’s skin, muscle tissue, liver, kidneys, and gonads, all of which must be avoided when preparing the creature for human consumption. Indeed, while wild encounters are certainly dangerous, the risk of death from a pufferfish increases when eating it in countries like Japan, where it is considered a delicacy known as fugu and can only be prepared by trained, licensed chefs—even then, accidental deaths from ingestion occur several times each year. The tetrodotoxin is up to 1,200 times more poisonous than that of cyanide, and can cause deadening of the tongue and lips, dizziness, vomiting, arrhythmia, difficulty breathing, muscle paralysis, and, if left untreated, death.

Black Mamba Though species like the boomslang or the king cobra are dangerous thanks to their respective poisons, the black mamba is especially deadly due to its speed. The species (which can grow up to 14 feet long) is the fastest of all snakes, slithering at speeds of up to 12.5 miles per hour, which makes escaping one in remote areas that much more difficult. Thankfully, black mambas usually only strike when threatened—but when they do, they’ll bite repeatedly, delivering enough venom (a blend of neuro- and cardiotoxins) in a single bite to kill ten people. And if one doesn’t receive the correlative antivenom within 20 minutes, the bites are almost 100 percent fatal. Where to find them: The savannas and rocky areas of southern and eastern Africa Sydney FunnelWeb Spider Getty 6. Sydney Funnel-Web Spider Some spiders flaunt their lethality with flashy colors or alien-like appendages, but few are as capable of following through on that promise as the glossy black Sydney Funnel-Web Spider. A funnel-web’s bite is a serious cause for alarm: Fatality among adults can occur within 30 minutes, since the atraxotoxin in their venom causes the human nervous system to short out. (Interestingly, their venom is not particularly bothersome to non-primate mammals, including household pets.) What makes funnel-webs especially dangerous is their proximity to humans, and the natural behavior that drives them to seek shelter and build webs in sheltered burrows—like shoes and lawn ornaments. Aggressive to begin with, and prone to wandering, funnel-webs’ fangs can pierce a human fingernail or even a shoe, which they will do repeatedly when threatened. The bite of a funnel-web is so fearsome that doctors recommend seeking antivenom after tangoing with any black spider in the funnel-web family, just in case.

Stonefish The most venomous fish known to humans is an easy one to miss—which is exactly what it wants. Stonefish, after all, are named for their visual similarity to rocks, sitting perfectly still and blending right into the seabed where an unsuspecting foot can easily step down on their dorsal fins, primed and ready with potent neurotoxins. The unluckiest clodhoppers will step hard, applying more pressure and increasing the amount of venom that gets injected; they may also trigger the stonefish’s secondary defense mechanism known as a lachrymal saber, which has been likened to a switchblade of the face. Fatality from stonefish venom can occur within an hour, so it’s recommended to seek antivenom immediately, applying water heated to over 113 °F (45 °C) in the meantime to denature the venom. Most importantly, watch where you step. Where to find them: Coastal Indo-Pacific Ocean, The Red Sea, and the Great Barrier Reef Image may contain Animal Reptile Lizard Alligator and Crocodile Getty 4. Saltwater Crocodile Florida's alligators may be scary, but they have nothing on their cousin, the fearsome crocodile, which is more short-tempered, easily provoked, and aggressive toward anything that crosses its path. Of all the species in the world, the largest—and most dangerous—is the saltwater crocodile. These ferocious killers can grow up to 23 feet in length, weigh more than a ton, and are known to kill hundreds each year, with crocodiles as a whole responsible for more human fatalities annually than sharks. Saltwater crocodiles are especially dangerous as they’re excellent swimmers in both salt and freshwater (yes, their name is confusing), and can strike quickly with a bite delivering 3,700 pounds per square inch (psi) of pressure, rivaling that of the T. Rex. If that’s not enough to scare you, put it in perspective: Humans chomp into a well-done steak at around 200 psi, a mere five percent of the strength of a saltie's jaw.

Tsetse Fly Often regarded as the world’s most dangerous fly, the tsetse fly—a small speck of insect that measures between 8 to 17 mm, or about the same size as the average house fly—is commonly found in Sub-Saharan Africa, especially throughout countries in the center of the continent. While the flies themselves are nasty bloodsucking bugs that usually feed during the peak warm hours, their true terror lies in the protozoan parasites they spread known as Trypanosomes. These microscopic pathogens are the causative agent of African Sleeping Sickness, a disease marked by neurological and meningoencephalitic symptoms including behavioral changes, poor coordination, as well as the disturbances in sleeping cycles that give the illness its name. If untreated, the condition can be fatal. While there are no vaccines or medications available to prevent infection, methods of protection include wearing neutral-colored clothing (the tsetse fly is attracted to bright and dark colors, especially blue), avoiding bushes during the day, and using permethrin-treated gear in more remote areas. Where to find them: The Sudans, the Democratic Republic of the Congo, and Angola Mosquito Getty 2. Mosquito Clocking in at just three millimeters at their smallest, the common mosquito, even tinier than the tsetse fly, ranks as the second most dangerous. Our reasoning: the sheer number of deaths each year, caused by various pathogens that several species of mosquitos (of the more than 3,000 in the world) carry to humans. The irritating insects—primarily those from the genera Aedes, Anopheles, and Culex—are the primary vectors of diseases like malaria, Chikungunya, encephalitis, elephantiasis, yellow fever, dengue fever, West Nile virus, and the Zika virus, which collectively afflict an estimated 700 million and kill roughly 725,000 people each year. As the World Health Organization notes, more than half of the human po[CENSORED]tion is currently at risk from mosquito-borne diseases. Given that the pests are attracted to our body temperatures and the CO2 we exhale, our best tools to prevent infection lie in the usage of insect repellents high in active ingredients like DEET and picaridin. Where to find them: Every region on the planet except Antarctica humans Getty 1. Humans Surprised? After all, we’re animals too, and since we’ve been killing each other for 10,000 years, with the total deaths from war alone estimated at between 150 million and 1 billion (and that was a decade ago), it’s a no-brainer that we top the list. Though human beings are said to be living in the most peaceful period now than at any other time in our history, we still assault each other with incredibly high rates of senseless brutality, from gun violence to terrorist attacks around the globe. We're dangerous to other animals, too—think global warming, the destruction of forests and coral reefs, and overtourism. Given the threat we pose to countless other creatures—and the fact that we often act irrationally and have the capacity to annihilate our entire planet with a host of horrifying weapons like nuclear devices and genetically-modified superbugs—we are squarely atop the list as the most dangerous animal in the world.

[News] Top ally announces closing Navalny's offices amid crackdown

op ally announces closing Navalny's offices amid crackdown A top ally of imprisoned Russian opposition leader Alexei Navalny says the network of the politicians' offices in Russia is being closed as authorities seek to have it and Navalny’s Foundation for Fighting Corruption outlawed as extremist groups By DARIA LITVINOVA Associated Press 29 April 2021, 12:19 • 6 min read On Location: April 29, 2021 Copy and paste to share this video Copy and paste to embed this video 3:09 On Location: April 29, 2021 Catch up on the developing stories making headlines. MOSCOW -- A top ally of imprisoned Russian opposition leader Alexei Navalny said Thursday that the network of the politician's offices in Russia is being closed as authorities seek to have it and Navalny's Foundation for Fighting Corruption outlawed as extremist groups. Also on Thursday, Navalny made his first public appearance in weeks, facing a court via video link from behind bars. The politician looked gaunt after a three-week hunger strike, but still was able to slam the Kremlin in an emotional speech. His embattled team has faced a major challenge this month. The Moscow prosecutor's office petitioned a court to declare both the regional offices and Navalny's anti-corruption organization as extremist groups, a label that would outlaw their activities, expose members and supporters to lengthy prison terms. Leonid Volkov, who as Navalny’s top strategist runs the regional offices, said Thursday that preserving the network of regional “headquarters” in its current state “is impossible” because of the extremism charges but rebranding them wouldn’t help either. “Unfortunately, it is impossible to work in these conditions. We’re officially dismantling the network of Navalny’s headquarters,” Volkov said on the messaging app Telegram. Volkov's statement comes amid a sweeping crackdown on Navalny, President Vladimir Putin’s fiercest critic, and his organizations. The politician is currently in prison, and dozens of his aides and associates have been under arrest, targeted for raids by law enforcement, or facing criminal charges. While imprisoned, Navalny said he developed severe back pain and numbness in his limbs, and he spent more than three weeks on a hunger strike to protest authorities refusing to allow his doctor see him. Instead, they moved him to another prison with a hospital ward. On Thursday, Navalny appeared in court via a video link from prison for an appeal of his conviction and fine for defaming a World War II veteran. The politician was convicted in February and ordered to pay a fine of 850-thousand rubles (the equivalent of $11,500). Even though the quality of the video link was poor, it was visibly clear that the politician has lost a lot of weight. His head was shaven clean, and he wore a prison jacket with a black T-shirt under it, and glasses. Navalny took an active part in the court hearing and spoke energetically despite his gaunt appearance. During a break, he asked his wife, Yulia, who was present at the hearing, to stand up so he could see her. He told her he’s now eating several spoons of porridge each day — part of winding down his hunger strike. “When we saw each other during visitation (in the colony), I weighed two kilograms more — it was 74 (163 lbs.) and now it’s 72 (159 lbs.),” Navalny said. “72 suits you better than 74,” Yulia responded with a smile. In his statement to the court, Navalny referred to Putin as “the emperor with no clothes” and charged that Russia under his rule “continues to degrade every year.” Shortly after his emotional speech, the judge rejected the appeal. Navalny's foundation and regional network are also subjects of legal proceedings. Earlier this week, the Moscow prosecutor’s office issued an injunction ordering the offices to suspend their activities pending the court ruling on whether to ban them as extremist groups, and a court in Moscow imposed restrictions on the Foundation for Fighting Corruption. The foundation's director, Ivan Zhdanov, said the organization will continue to work despite the restrictions. Navalny set up the network of offices in dozens of regions when he was campaigning to run against Putin in the 2018 presidential election. He eventually was barred from running but kept the infrastructure in place. The regional “headquarters,” as the team called them, allowed Navalny to spread his reach beyond Moscow and gain influence across Russia's vast geography. They helped him challenge the government by running their own investigations of graft by local officials and recruiting local activists, some of whom later ran for public office themselves. They were also instrumental in organizing nationwide protests in his support and implementing the Smart Voting strategy — a project designed to promote candidates who are most likely to defeat those from the Kremlin’s dominant United Russia party in various elections. In 2019, Smart Voting helped opposition candidates win 20 of 45 seats on the Moscow city council, and regional elections last year saw United Russia lose its majority in legislatures in three cities. In a video statement Thursday, Volkov assured supporters that Navalny's team wasn't giving up and that most of the regional offices will continue to exist as independent political entities. “The networks of Navalny's headquarters doesn't exist anymore, but there are dozens of strong and tough regional politicians, thousands of their supporters, there are strong and independent political organizations which will work on investigations and elections, public campaigns and rallies. You will help them, and they will succeed,” Volkov said. In Perm, a city of 1 million about 1,000 kilometers (620 miles) east of Moscow, Sergei Ukhov on Thursday unscrewed a plaque saying “Alexei Navalny's Headquarters” off a building wall. Ukhov, a coordinator of Navalny's now closed office in Perm, told The Associated Press that shutting it down was “a great disappointment —- four years of my life have passed here.” “Of course, for me it’s not the end," Ukhov added, echoing Volkov's sentiment. "I will continue my personal political career, and I will work on the elections, which will be held in September, so I look to the future with hope, no matter what.” Navalny was arrested in January upon returning from Germany, where he spent five months recovering from a nerve agent poisoning that he blames on the Kremlin — accusations that Russian officials reject. His arrest triggered protests across Russia that proved to be the biggest show of defiance in years. But they didn’t stop authorities from putting Navalny on trial for violating the terms of a suspended sentence while he was in Germany. The sentence stemmed from a 2014 embezzlement conviction that Navalny has characterized as politically motivated. He was ordered to serve 2½ years in prison and last month was transferred to a penal colony notorious for its harsh conditions. Some of his top allies were slapped with criminal charges and placed under house arrest, and dozens of his associates in the regions were targeted with detentions and raids. The case against Navalny’s foundation and regional offices is scheduled to be heard by the Moscow City Court on May 17. It remains unclear what evidence authorities have against the organizations because some of the case files have been classified as secret. Ivan Pavlov, the lawyer representing Navalny’s organizations in court, said after a preliminary hearing Thursday that the defense team has filed a lawsuit to declassify the files. He said a motion also was filed to allow Navalny to participate in the court proceedings, “since his name is mentioned on every page of the lawsuit.” Pavlov also revealed that a criminal case has been launched against Navalny, Volkov and Zhdanov on charges of creating an organization that infringes on people’s rights, a criminal offense punishable by up to four years in prison. -

Desde la antigüedad, la figura del gato ha estado rodeada de mitos que le atribuyen poderes sobrenaturales, desde la capacidad de transmitir "mala suerte" hasta la capacidad de anticipar eventos que aún no han ocurrido. Dejando a un lado la superstición, la verdad es que hay 7 cosas que los gatos pueden predecir. No tienen que ver con magia o prodigios milagrosos, pero ciertas características de los felinos los hacen más sensibles a algunas situaciones que pasan desapercibidas para los humanos. Si quieres saber cuáles son, ¡sigue leyendo! También te puede interesar: 7 cosas que tu gato sabe de ti Índice Temblores y terremotos Desastres naturales Algunas enfermedades 4. Diabetes y epilepsia Estado de ánimo Visitas Muerte 1. Temblores y terremotos En diversas catástrofes, se ha podido observar como minutos, e incluso horas antes de que ocurriera un terremoto o un terremoto, ciertos animales mostraron comportamientos relacionados con el estrés y la ansiedad y comenzaron a huir de sus hogares o nidos hacia áreas más altas o más remotas. Estos animales incluyen pájaros, perros y gatos, pero hay muchos más. Pero, ¿qué perciben exactamente los gatos antes de un terremoto? Hay varias teorías. Uno de ellos indica que los gatos son capaces de percibir los cambios estáticos que ocurren justo antes del terremoto. Técnicamente, es posible que algunos humanos también los perciban, sin embargo, es más frecuente que confundamos esta percepción con un simple dolor de cabeza o malestar. Otra teoría asegura que los gatos perciben las pequeñas vibraciones que se producen en el suelo antes que un gran temblor a través de las almohadillas de sus patas, ya que es una zona de su cuerpo extremadamente sensible. Sea como fuere, hay quienes afirman reconocer este movimiento, 2. Natural disasters As with earthquakes, it has been observed that cats are able to perceive phenomena that occur prior to certain natural disasters, thanks to their keen senses. This is not magic, cats can detect some changes through their senses. They are able to detect certain events that humans miss. Many cats will notice a volcanic eruption, a cyclone, a tsunami, and even a hurricane approaching. Of course, it does not mean that all cats perceive them, but most do. For what is this? Because all these natural "disasters" are announced, they do not appear from one moment to another. Before they are unleashed, there are changes in atmospheric pressure, temperature, wind direction and earth movements, among many others, that your feline is prepared to perceive. 3. Some diseases More than predicting them, various studies have shown that cats are capable of detecting the presence of certain diseases in the human body, as well as in their feline felines. There are many testimonies from people who discovered that they suffered from cancer after their furry friend insistently perched on a certain area of the body. 7 things cats can predict - 3. Some diseases 4. Diabetes and epilepsy These two diseases are characterized by the possibility of dangerous attacks manifesting in both, which can be sudden for the human being who suffers from it, call it a high blood sugar or an epileptic attack itself. As with cancer, there are testimonies and cases of owners who have seen their lives saved by these felines, who have been especially nervous just before one of these crises breaks out. In this case, cats would also perceive the changes that occur in the body through smell. 5. Moods They cannot predict moods, but they can perceive them almost perfectly. If you're feeling depressed, distressed, or worried, your feline friend will most likely adjust to your mood sympathetically, keeping you company during those difficult times. Likewise, when you are happy and active he will want to play and have fun with you. 6. Visits Surely you have noticed that your cat changes its attitude shortly before one of the family members arrives home, becoming restless and expectant. This is because, indeed, cats are able to detect that that loved one is approaching. All this thanks to his wonderful nose and his prodigious hearing. Felines sniff out familiar scents from great distances, allowing your cat to wait for you at the door long before you arrive. Likewise, they are able to discriminate the sounds you make with your keys or the way you walk. 7. Death Much has been speculated for centuries about whether or not cats are capable of predicting when a person is about to die. Some studies seem to indicate that this is indeed the case. This is due, again, to your keen sense of smell. All living beings secrete certain substances when we are close to dying, due to the physical changes that the body is undergoing. Felines are capable of perceiving them. That is why there are so many testimonies of pets that have remained with their owners before their last breath. 7 things cats can predict - 7.

Our Global Wealth and Lifestyle Report analyses consumption trends by tracking the price developments of premium goods and services in the Julius Baer Lifestyle Index. This year’s report focuses on how these trends relate specifically to lifestyle, regions and cities, and wealth. Here is a closer look at what you will find in the report: How is my lifestyle changing? The world’s consumers are becoming more and more conscious, and COVID-19 has accelerated this trend. We explore how the pandemic has raised consumer awareness and commitment to buying ethically and sustainably – changes in behaviour that we believe are likely to endure long after the pandemic. How is my region changing? According to our Lifestyle Index, Asia Pacific continues to be the most expensive region. But some major shifts have taken place since our last report, for example, the Americas are now the cheapest region – and home to two of the three cheapest cities. We look at the most important findings of the index and hear what residents from cities around the world have to say about their home town. How is my wealth changing? Inflation and other factors such as exchange rates and local regulations can result in major changes to how far your wealth will go. We explore how developing a greater understanding of your purchasing power, as well as implementing the right wealth management strategy to reach your financial goals, can stem against the erosion of wealth in real terms.

The Suzuki GSX-S1000 naked sportbike gets a substantial reworking for 2021, at least in Europe. Although the styling is the most immediately noticeable change, with stacked LED headlights, there are changes to the motor, electronics, and ergonomics. Let’s dive in and take a look at the 2021 Suzuki GSX-S1000 that Europe is getting. To reduce emissions to satisfy Euro 5 standards, the 2021 Suzuki GSX-S1000 gets major new internal engine parts. The intake and exhaust camshafts are new, along with the throttle bodies, valve springs, airbox, exhaust, and catalytic converter. There’s also a new clutch on the GSX-S1000. 2021 Suzuki GSX-S1000 First Look: Price Peak horsepower is increased, along with a smoothing of the powerband. The new GSX-S1000’s motor pumps out 150 horsepower at 11,000 rpm. Suzuki claims an overall increase in torque, along with a more linear power delivery. The new camshafts have a new profile with reduced valve overlap. This change, driving by Euro 5, makes the motor more controllable, according to Suzuki. The new throttle bodies are electrically actuated and designed for smoother engagement. Expect the new 2021 Suzuki GSX-S1000 to be less abrupt off-idle. Suzuki Throttle Bodies There is no internal separator in the new airbox. Suzuki tells us this means there’s less intake resistance. The new clutch has assist-and-slipper functions. We’re always fans of those features. Suzuki calls the 2021 GSX-S1000’s new electronics SIRS—Suzuki Intelligent Ride System. It’s a ride-by-wire system that includes three engine maps, five traction control settings (plus off), and an up/down quickshifter. The GSX-S1000 also has Suzuki’s Low RPM Assist function, plus single-push starting—features we’ve seen on previous Suzukis. 2021 Suzuki GSX-S1000 First Look: MSRP The traction control system monitors the throttle, transmission, and crankshaft positions, along with the speed of both wheels. The ECU then makes adjustments to the throttle valve, fuel injection rate, and ignition timing. You can keep track of all of this on a new LCD dash. Sorry, no TFT yet. Roadsport 2 tires, designed explicitly by Dunlop for the 2021 Suzuki GSX-S1000, are employed. 2021 Suzuki GSX-S1000 First Look: For Sale The tapered handlebars are wider and closer to the rider. This puts the grips up nearly an inch, as well as back three-quarters of an inch. The tank capacity increases to a full five gallons. Suzuki claims fuel consumption of 46 mpg. The math says you can squeeze over 200 miles from a tank. The 2021 Suzuki GSX-S1000’s extended range might come in handy with the motorcycle’s new seat. Suzuki claims the 2021’s seat offers “greater comfort.” 2021 Suzuki GSX-S1000 First Look: Specs The bodywork is completely new, offering a highly angular design. The triple-stacked headlight/running light combo is bound to be controversial, as will the plastic. The taillight and turn indicators are also LCDs. The plastic isn’t just for show—there are integrated winglets. Suzuki calls them “MotoGP-inspired.” 2021 Suzuki GSX-S1000 First Look: Photos The list price in the UK for the 2021 Suzuki GSX-S1000 is £10,999. There are three colors to choose from—Metallic Triton Blue, Matt Grey, and Gloss Black. We’re waiting to see if the 2021 Suzuki GSX-S1000 makes its way to the United States. We don’t see anything on the stateside Suzuki website yet! Keep an eye or two out.

Antony White, a lawyer for Google, told the first day of a two-day hearing that any maiden, US-style data protection lawsuit could only seek redress under English laws if a data breach led to claimants suffering damage. London: A proposed multi-billion pound British class action against Google, which alleges the internet giant secretly tracked millions of iPhone users, is not viable and should not be allowed to proceed, the Supreme Court was told on Wednesday. Antony White, a lawyer for Google, told the first day of a two-day hearing that any maiden, US-style data protection lawsuit could only seek redress under English laws if a data breach led to claimants suffering damage. "It is not my case that loss of personal data may not have serious consequences, but it may not always do so in a way that attracts compensation," he said, adding that any uniform award would also fail to take into account differing phone usage. Richard Lloyd, former director of consumer rights group Which?, is leading the landmark claim that seeks to extend Britain's fledgling class action regime and could set the scene for vast, similar data protection claims against tech giants such as Facebook, TikTok and YouTube. The case, brought on behalf of more than five million Apple iPhone users, hinges on what damages can be recovered by consumers for data breaches and whether class actions can be used to claim them. Lloyd, who says he wants to hold the world's biggest companies to account, has estimated that people who used iPhones between 2011 and 2012 could be owned redress of more than 3 billion pounds ($4.2 billion) if any future trial succeeds. He alleges that Google illegally took iPhone users' personal data by tracking internet browsing histories and used this to sell a lucrative, targeted advertising service. "Google makes billions of pounds in revenue from advertising based on our personal data every year," he said in a statement. "It is only right that they should be held to account for profiting from the misuse of that personal data." Experts say the case is "hugely significant" and urge businesses to be fair and transparent when harvesting and using troves of personal data for commercial gain. "If the judgment goes in favour of the claimants, we will see the floodgates open to a tsunami of representative data class actions in the UK," said Julian Copeman, a partner at Herbert Smith Freehills. Critics of "opt out" class actions, which automatically bind a defined group into a lawsuit unless individuals opt out, say they can lead to claims without merit and lush profits for litigators and their funders. Proponents say they allow easier access to justice, especially when individual claims are too small to pursue individually, and that alternative "opt in" lawsuits, where every claimant signs up, are costly and time-consuming. The Confederation of British Industry, a trade body, says such cases could be "highly detrimental", noting the risk of ruinous damages awards could prompt settlements regardless of the merits of a case. "It's a ground-breaking case that could result in a bank-breaking financial hit," said Rafi Azim-Khan, head of data privacy at law firm Pillsbury.

Complete skeleton of a 15 foot Mosasaur: Clidastes propython. Clidastes would have looked very similar to a snake in life. Name: Mosasaur (pronunciation: "moh-suh-sawr") - it means "Lizard of the Meuse River" 'Mosa' stands for the Meuse river in Holland - the location where mosasaurs were first described. 'Saur' (Sauros) is greek for lizard. Taxonomy: Class: Reptilia - Order: Squamata - Superfamily: Mosasauroidea - Family: Mosasauridae Subfamilies: Halisaurine, Mosasaurinae, Plioplatecarpinae, Tylosaurinae Mosasaurs ARE NOT DINOSAURS. They are reptiles and are closely related to snakes and monitor lizards. Age: Cretaceous Mosasaurs went extinct at the end of the Cretaceous during the end Cretaceous mass extinction event. Jurassic World vs Real Life: Half the Size The Tylosaurus mosasaur shown on the Jurassic Park movie was the largest mosasaur to exist. In real life it grew up to 50 feet in length. It's hard to figure out the exact size of the mosasaur in the movie, but it's conservatively somewhere around 100 feet, which is at least twice the real life size. Also, the Tylosaurus shown in Jurassic World looks more like an aquatic godzilla. In real life, evidence shows they had a caudal fin (tail) like a shark and very smooth snake-like skin. Remember, the movie is an action packed Hollywood blockbuster, it's not meant to be scientific. Discovery: Holland, 1764 The first described mosasaur fossils were found in a limestone quarry on the Meuse River in Holland in 1764. Native Americans in the Midwest U.S. had found mosasaur fossils long before the first described fossils. They drew images of them, thought the fossils had special powers, and may have thought they were the remains of the mythological beings Wakinyan (Thunder beings) and Unktehila (Water monsters). Distribution: Nearly Global: Mosasaurs lived in the seas during the Cretaceous. Fossils are found in Cretaceous rock units on almost every continent from North and South America, to Europe, Asia, and Australia. In Hungary, A freshwater Mosasaur has even been found! Body Size: 3 to 50 feet Some, such as Dallasaurus were only 3 feet in length. While others, like Tylosaurus, grew up to 50 feet in length. Most mosasaurs were over 10 feet in length. Diet: Anything! Stomach contents of mosasaurs reveal ammonites, bony fish, sea turtles, plesiosaurs, and even sea birds! It appears they could eat whatever they wanted. Physical Appearance: Mosasaurs were sleek, streamlined, and fast! They had flipper like paddles for arms and legs and a tail fin. They propelled themselves by mianly moving the large fin on their tail in a side to side motion. Mosasaurs were also covered in smooth scales which were very dark in color. Snake-Like: Similar to snakes, Mosasaurs had jaws could expand to help swallow large whole prey. Also, like a snake, mosasaurs had two sets of teeth in their upper jaws. This second set was smaller and set further back in the jaw. These teeth would help hold on to struggling prey as the animal swallowed it whole. They Breathed Air: Although mosasaurs were aquatic, they were reptiles, which means they had to surface to breathe air, like a sea turtle today. Live Birth: A 2015 study found that Mosasaurs gave live birth in the open ocean.

Toyota is poised to re-enter the electric vehicle segment with the 2022 bZ4X crossover, which boasts edgy styling that sets it apart from Toyota's gasoline-powered SUVs. Unlike the last all-electric vehicle the company offered—the RAV4 EV—the bZ4X will be sold at Toyota dealerships nationwide. Although only the bZ4X has been announced so far, Toyota has recorded several trademark filings using other bZ names, which leads us to believe the company is planning a family of electric vehicles using the moniker. The production version of the bZ4X is expected to hit Toyota showrooms in mid-2022. When it does it will join a growing group of non-luxury EV SUVs which includes the Chevrolet Bolt EUV, the Ford Mustang Mach E, the Hyundai Kona Electric, the Kia Niro EV, the Tesla Model Y, and the Volkswagen ID.4. What's New for 2022? The bZ4X will be an all-new vehicle and nameplate for the Toyota brand and we expect to see it in showrooms sometime in 2022. Pricing and Which One to Buy LE $37,000 (est) XLE $39,000 (est) Limited $42,000 (est) 0 $10k $20k $30k $40k $50k $60k $70k Toyota hasn't said how much the bZ4X will cost or how many trim levels will be offered, but we expect a starting price in the high $30,000-range with loaded models cresting the $40,000 mark. When we know more about pricing, features, options, and trims, we'll update this story with details and provide a recommendation on which is the best buy. Engine, Transmission, and Performance Toyota hasn't released much information yet about the bZ4X's powertrain, except that it will offer all-wheel drive as standard. That could mean dual electric motors with one powering each axle, or it could refer to some sort of all-wheel drive system that routes power from one electric motor to both axles. We'll know more about the bZ4X's powertrain closer to the SUV's on-sale date.

Two Spanish citizens have been killed in an ambush in eastern Burkina Faso, the Spanish government said on Tuesday. The Spanish journalists and an Irish citizen went missing during an attack by gunmen Monday near a national park, said Arancha González Laya, Spain’s Foreign Affairs Minister in a Press conference. The two Spaniards are from northern Spain and were working on a documentary on how Burkina Faso’s authorities were tackling poaching and on the communities of people living in the park. At the time of the attack, they were traveling with an anti-poaching patrol with about 40 people, she said. “It is a dangerous area where terrorists, bandits, and jihadists usually operate,” said González Laya. The Irish government said it was “aware of the reports and is liaising closely with international partners regarding the situation on the ground.” An audio message heard by The Associated Press that purports to be from jihadist group known as JNIM that is linked to al-Qaida praised the attack claimed responsibility for the attack.

conservacionistas que trabajan para salvar a los grandes felinos en estado salvaje. ¿Has oído hablar de un ligre? Es la descendencia de un león macho y una tigre hembra. También está el tigón, que tiene una madre león y un padre tigre. Y el leopon, la progenie de un león y un leopardo, que no debe ser superado por el jaguar, una mezcla de jaguar y leopardo. Los híbridos felinos no se encuentran en la naturaleza. Los leones y los tigres no se superponen en la naturaleza (excepto en el bosque Gir de India, donde hasta ahora no se han encontrado ligas). Y los grandes felinos en el mismo territorio no cruzan la línea de especies; no están interesados entre sí, al igual que los humanos no se sienten atraídos por los chimpancés. En cambio, estos animales son descendientes de grandes felinos que se cruzan en cautiverio y están destinados a convertirse en curiosidades en zoológicos y parques naturales. Si bien puede parecer divertido ver a uno de estos bichos raros en persona, los defensores de la conservación de los grandes felinos dicen que esta hibridación tiene un lado oscuro. “Con los híbridos hay muchas más posibilidades de que la genética se estropee”, dice Luke Hunter, que dirige la organización de conservación de gatos salvajes Panthera. Esto significa que hay una mayor probabilidad de infertilidad y otros defectos, dice. Se desconoce la prevalencia de estos problemas en los híbridos de grandes felinos: debido a que los animales no existen en la naturaleza, los científicos no los han estudiado mucho. Pero muchos de los cruces llevan vidas saludables, y algunos incluso han tenido descendencia: una hembra de ligre en un zoológico ruso se apareó con un león macho y dio a luz a un llamado liliger en 2012. Tampoco se sabe cuántos de los diversos híbridos de grandes felinos existen, pero Usman Masood, que ha recopilado informes en línea de ligre y dirige el sitio web ligerzoos.com, calcula que los números de ligre son aproximadamente cien. Ligers, po[CENSORED]rizados por el clásico de culto de 2004 Napoleon Dynamite, son minas de oro debido a su tamaño. Las criaturas con rayas tenues crecen hasta un metro y medio de altura y pueden pesar hasta mil libras, más del doble del tamaño de sus padres leones y madres tigre. Los informes de nacimientos de ligre ocasionalmente surgen de países de todo el mundo; a multas de enero, un zoológico ruso anunció el nacimiento de un cachorro de ligre llamado Tzar. Pero ligerzoos.com postula que la mayoría de los ligre están en manos privadas en los Estados Unidos. Los zoológicos acreditados fruncen el ceño ante el cruce de grandes felinos. "Estos gatos míos son tipos grandes y suaves" y están sanos, dice Gregg Woody, propietario de Woody's Menagerie en Mulberry Grove, Illinois, de sus dos ligre de siete años, Hank y Charlie. Woody lleva a Hank y Charlie por todo el país como parte de una exhibición itinerante de ligre. Su tamaño, dice, es "impactante" para la gente. Según Woody, los padres de los ligre pasaron mucho tiempo juntos y finalmente se aparearon, lo que los científicos dicen que pueden suceder cuando un león y un tigre viven en espacios reducidos y carecen de otras opciones. “Los leones son tigres y están separados por unos siete millones de años de evolución”, dijo anteriormente a National Geographic Craig Packer, director del Centro de Investigación de Leones de la Universidad de Minnesota. "Pero todavía están lo suficientemente relacionados como para que puedan hibridar". NO HAY UN BENEFICIO PARA LA CONSERVACIÓN Los híbridos felinos no son útiles para la diversidad genética de los grandes felinos y no tienen valor de conservación, dice Rob Vernon, portavoz de la Asociación de Zoológicos y Acuarios, que representan 230 zoológicos en los EE. UU. Y un puñado de otros países. un ligre Este ligre, Bahier, nació en Arche Noah, un zoológico privado en Alemania en el Mar Báltico. Los expertos en grandes felinos dicen que los ligre no tienen valor de conservación. FOTOGRAFÍA POR CHRISTIAN CHARISIUS, REUTERS Según la asociación, se supone que los zoológicos de hoy son arcos para animales amenazados y educan al público sobre los esfuerzos de conservación. “La reproducción de animales que no representan las características normales y la variación de la especie crea un mensaje confuso educativo”, afirma la política de la asociación contra la cría intencional de animales para producir rasgos raros. El científico conservacionista Luke Dollar dice que cualquier cruce entre especies de grandes felinos no es ético y es el resultado de la codicia o la reproducción irresponsable. “No se me ocurre ninguna excusa legítima para que exista un ligre o un tigón”, dice Dollar, director del programa de la Iniciativa Big Cats de la National Geographic Society. "Si queremos reconocer y honrar a los grandes felinos tal como se encuentran naturalmente en la naturaleza, ¿por qué posiblemente experimentaríamos con estas prácticas completamente antinaturales y sin fundamento biológico?" HÍBRIDOS SALVAJES Si bien sabemos que los leones y los tigres aún no se han vuelto juguetones en la naturaleza, ciertamente es posible que dos especies produzcan un híbrido en la naturaleza. “La hibridación ocurre entre los carnívoros en la naturaleza cuando las oportunidades reproductivas se vuelven muy, muy limitadas”, dice Hunter. Los coywolves, descendientes de lobos y coyotes, se cuentan por millones en los EE. UU. Y el este de Canadá. La deforestación, la caza y el envenenamiento de lobos en el este significó que cada vez más se reproducían con coyotes que se extendían hacia el territorio oriental de los lobos desde el suroeste de los Estados Unidos. El cambio climático también puede tener un efecto. Los científicos predicen que el derretimiento del hielo ártico hará que más de 20 mamíferos marinos se hibriden. Ya se sabe que los osos pardos que se mueven hacia el norte hacia latitudes más altas se aparean con los osos polares. El resultado: "pizzlies" de patas marrones y bata blanca.

Nombre: Carcharodon megalodon Eslora: Entre 14 y 20 metros. Altura: 4 metros. Peso: 50 toneladas. Dieta: Carnívoros. Período: Cenozoico. Años: Hace entre 19,8 y 2,6 millones de años. Se encuentra en: América, Australia, Asia e Islas Canarias. El Megalodon es un animal extinto que durante la antigüedad fue un gran depredador de todos los mares del mundo. Grande y voraz, podría identificarse o definirse como un enorme tiburón blanco. No se conoce con exactitud su tamaño real ya que su esqueleto no ha llegado a la actualidad en forma fósil, ya que estaba basado en cartílago, pero sus dientes lo han hecho, teniendo en cuenta las referencias actuales del tiburón blanco Se cree que este animal Podría medir hasta 18 metros. Características del megalodón The Megalodons were therefore a species of gigantic white sharks with black eyes and mouths that could be up to two meters long and up to 280 huge saw-shaped teeth of more than thirteen centimeters, with a bite force of up to 18 tons, so no prey escaped from them. What did the Megalodon eat? Megalodons are defined as super predators since in their adult size they could hunt any type of animal no matter how large their size. Thus, they fed from whales to turtles or other types of smaller sharks. They had a huge appetite and were all day looking for food that they used to live on alone. To hunt their color that allowed them to camouflage themselves, it was ideal to be able to surprise their victims since they were white and gray. Seen from below, its prey could not differentiate it from the water and seen from above they could not observe it due to the darkness that was in the oceans. Thus, it took a lot of momentum with its tail and opened its mouth to wound its victims. Then he left them to bleed to death and later devoured them. There used to be fights between the specimens of this species to dispute the dead victims, as well as with other very large animals such as sperm whales, which were also very aggressiveWhen and where did the Megalodon live? From the different studies and investigations carried out, it has been extracted that the Megalodon was a super predator present in all the oceans of the planet during the Neogene, one of the periods of antiquity, specifically its samples date from between 28 and 2 million years ago, in the period between the Oligocene and the Pleistocene. Megalodon remains have been found in Australia, America, Asia and even the Canary Islands. It is believed that its distribution was truly cosmopolitan, but that it mainly centered its breeding areas in the warmer coastal areas. Of course it had a great impact on the marine communities with which it lived, since it was a great predator The largest species of sharks tend to move around many places and their geographic distribution is very wide and varied, and this is also what happened with the Megalodon. Fossils have been found in all kinds of latitudes, but especially in the tropics and also in temperate zones.. curiosities of the Megalodon Below are some curiosities of the Megalodon to get to know it even better. In the first place, it is very interesting that the Megalodon is the largest shark of all those that currently exist in the world and of all those already extinct, with which, it can also be extracted that at the time it was the largest fish that existed. It is an extinct animal that is clearly a relative of the great white shark and many scholars consider it to be the ancestor of this species. Como dato particularmente interesante, cabe señalar que después de mucha investigación, algunos expertos y científicos han podido estimar que su longevidad osciló entre 50 años y 100. Esto se ha encontrado observando las vértebras fosilizadas de los megalodones encontrados. . Más o menos como los troncos de los árboles, las vértebras de los tiburones tienen una especie de bandas que hacen referencia a los años de vida que tiene cada organismo. Así, es posible saber qué tan rápido crecieron este tipo de animales, y también su edad, ya que las bandas más anchas indican un mayor crecimiento.

Con cierto retraso, el DS 3 Crossback llegó al mercado local. Este SUV Premium de linaje francés está disponible en una única versión, con un motor Turbo de 1.2 litros y 155 CV, y una transmisión automática de ocho velocidades. Después de una larga espera, el nuevo DS 3 Crossback está disponible en la DS Store de Bogotá. Hablamos del SUV subcompacto de alta gama de la marca francesa, que llega a nuestro país en una única variante de equipamiento propulsado por el motor más potente de la oferta global. Según la marca, este es el resultado de llevar a cabo la "alta costura" al mundo del automóvil. Este modelo debutó en el Salón del Automóvil de París en octubre de 2018. Está construido sobre la plataforma EMP1 del antiguo grupo PSA (ahora Stellantis), que a su vez comparte con los actuales Peugeot 208 y 2008, y con los Opel Corsa y Mokka. También tiene una variante 100% eléctrica, que probamos en Francia a finales de 2019. La producción del DS 3 Crossback tiene lugar en Poissy, Francia, y de ahí viene a competir con otros prestigiosos representantes de su segmento como el Mercedes GLA, BMW X2 y los Audi Q2 y Q3. A primera vista, las formas voluminosas del DS 3 Crossback y su silueta tipo cupé son sorprendentes. Delante, luce faros estrechos con bordes en ángulo, unidos a una rejilla de panal prominente (DS WINGS) y luces de circulación diurna de forma ondulada, dispuestas en posición vertical. Su inspiración en el viejo DS 3 coupé es clara, con una [CENSORED]tura en la parte inferior de la luneta trasera, como la que tenía ese coche, junto con hombros y cintura ensanchados, y un efecto de techo flotante. Sus anchos pasos de rueda cubren los neumáticos con llantas de aleación de diamante de 18 pulgadas, mientras que las manijas de las puertas se pueden desplegar u ocultar de forma motorizada. La parte trasera incorpora luces delgadas, unidas entre sí por un borde negro mate suave. Mientras tanto, el parachoques tiene un diseño esculpido con dos salidas de aire laterales, junto con un protector de plástico negro que alberga el soporte de la matrícula y una luz antiniebla central. El modelo para Colombia tiene una salida de escape doble cromado / satinado.

Pablo Monge Share on Facebook Share on Twitter Share on Linkedin Go to comments Madrid 26 APR 2021 - 14:08 CEST The airlines with activity in Spain, represented in their vast majority by the Airline Association (ALA), estimate that this year they could recover 58% of the flights that operated in the summer season prior to the pandemic, which was from March 31 to October 31, 2019. With this, the high season of this 2021 could yield an improvement in the volume of operations of 114% compared to the summer season of 2020, now reaching slightly more than 780,000 flights with departure or arrival in Spain. What ALA does not offer, at the moment, is an estimate of travelers in view of the fact that operations are being carried out with load factors below 60% and it is still too early to know how they will go in the coming months: "The pattern The purchase of the ticket has changed and travelers make their reservations very close to the departure date of the flights ", commented this morning the president of ALA, Javier Gándara, at a press conference held at the CEOE headquarters. Uncertainty plays against the commercial strategy of any airline and doubts about the maintenance, or not, of the restrictions to fly are the main barrier to the return of customers. That, according to Gándara, and the price of the PCR tests. Against these obstacles, ALA demands the acceptance of cheaper alternatives to the aforementioned Covid-19 test, such as the antigen test, and the opening to mobility with health security guarantees. ALA supports the joint action of the EU Member States to coordinate de-escalation policies in the restrictions. However, the meeting with the media has been used to demand that the Spanish Government pay maximum attention to the movements of countries that compete for tourism, such as Greece. From the point of view of the president of ALA, Spain must make a move before the introduction of the digital green certificate and create safe tourist corridors, while travelers with a vaccination certificate have to be accepted, without imposing the mandatory negative PCR on them. Another of the measures that is strongly demanded is the recognition of the referred antigen test to allow the mobility of people. Greece, for example, will accept vaccines without CRP as of May 14, which has triggered the interest of US tourists in this alternative market to the Spanish. Exceptional measure for employment The airline sector will continue to need public support to put the return to higher levels on track of activity. In this sense, ALA demands the maintenance of the ERTEs system until December 31, compared to the current expiration date at the end of May. "81% of the workers in the airline sector who were in ERTE during the first state They continue to be alarmed. No matter how well things are going this summer, there will still not be a great recovery, "said the president of ALA. The association points out that there are 14,134 professionals in the sector affected by temporary employment adjustments. According to the association that encompasses airports, ACI, the pandemic has left 8,500 routes inactive throughout Europe, of which 2,000 have disappeared in the first quarter of this anus. Summer will be key for a certain recovery of the same, so ALA urges the aforementioned measures to support safe mobilityPresident Gándara has expressed the expectation of the sector that 2021 will be the year of reactivation and that in 2022 we can speak of high levels of recovery. Despite this, this spokesman for the airline sector has been cautious in any of the estimates in view of the fact that the behavior of supply and demand during the winter season disappointed the forecasts. Where a 75% recovery was expected, only 35% was achieved, amid new waves of the pandemic and restrictions on mobility. Passenger traffic figures in the last six months, from October 2020 to March 2021 included, have fallen by 83% compared to the equivalent period prior to the pandemic. Now, Javier Gándara affirms, variables such as vaccination and the digital green certificate have been introduced, which strengthens the hope about the return of trafficlagging behind, and if Spain does not want to miss the boat with respect to its main competing destinations such as Greece, it should not waste time and open its borders to vaccinated international tourists without asking them for PCR tests. "To save the summer campaign and promote the recovery of the sector we must use the vaccination certificate in Spain to gradually lift the restrictions," he said.
