No one can deny that he was the protagonist of the political year, as much for his historic election and his achievements in Congress as for the intense and strong polemics that he has generated. January started with the echo of an interview with EL TIEMPO: "The first decision I am going to make is to stop the new oil exploration contracts in Colombia", he responded to what he would do on August 7 if he won the elections presidential. “There will be a smooth, but safe and serious transition. It will be my clear message to all the actors in society and the economy: we are starting another type of economy,” he added. (In context: Gustavo Petro: 'This victory is for God and for the people and his history') At that time, he was a candidate for the inter-party consultation of the Historical Pact, a coalition of minority parties and left-wing social movements. On March 13, coinciding with the congressional elections, Petro prevailed with 80 percent of the votes in that referendum and doubled the number of votes that was emerging as his main rival at the time: Federico Gutiérrez, winner of the referendum in Team for Colombia (Centre-right coalition). But that day, in addition, Petro gave the left the greatest victory that this political strip has experienced in elections for Congress. With billboards in which only his face appeared, the Historical Pact achieved 20 seats in the Senate and 27 representatives in the Chamber. Winner in two rounds In the presidential elections on May 29, he obtained eight and a half million votes, 40 percent of the vote. On the way he left behind Federico Gutiérrez and Sergio Fajardo. In the second round, June 19, he won with more than eleven million votes, 50.44 percent of the vote, compared to 47.31 percent for his rival Rodolfo Hernández. Never before in the history of Colombia has a presidential candidate obtained so many votes. “But it also became clear that 10.5 million went to the polls to vote against him,” says analyst Andrés Segura. The country had just been the scene of a social explosion, during the government of Iván Duque, which was marked by the prominence of a new phenomenon: the front line. In his victory speech, Petro said: “How many people are imprisoned, how many young people find themselves chained, handcuffed, treated as bandits just because they had hope and love. I ask the attorney general to release our youth.” (You may be interested in: Gustavo Petro: 'The State must guarantee the right to water in La Guajira') "If the president-elect wants to seek the release of young people who committed crimes, he must ask Congress to change the law and not the attorney general," Francisco Barbosa replied. From various sectors it was interpreted that Petro was coming to collide head-on with the institutionality. However, his first date was with his longtime antagonist, Uribe Vélez. "I believe that you do not have to pass bills," said the former president. "The era of dialogue began," replied the president-elect. It was a meeting that for many put an end to the polarization in which the country was immersed. the ground pole With the appointment of the experienced José Antonio Ocampo in the Treasury portfolio, he tried to send a message of calm to the markets. However, he also put together a cabinet with figures who have generated controversy for their excessive activism on environmental issues and against the use of fossil fuels. An issue that caused enormous concern inside and outside the country, as this is the main source of foreign currency income for the country's coffers. (We suggest you read: Petro's position against Pedro Castillo sparked a political confrontation) In his possession, on August 7, before a crowd and with his hand raised by his vice president, Francia Márquez, who was waiting to be sworn in, Petro gave his first order as head of state: "I request the Military House bring the sword of Bolívar”. It was the sign of a government for which speeches and symbols are a priority. Both inside and outside the country. In his speech to the UN General Assembly in New York, he said: "The war on drugs has failed." “The climate crisis”, he noted at the United Nations Conference on Climate Change, COP27, in the city of Sharm el Sheikh, (Egypt), “is only overcome if we stop consuming hydrocarbons”. These two obsessions —achieving global consensus on a new anti-drug approach and accelerating an energy transition— have not yet shown tangible results, as have other objectives announced in the campaign: reestablishing bilateral relations with the Venezuela of Nicolás Maduro, resuming peace negotiations with the ELN; move forward with his legislative agenda and embark on the search for 'total peace'. https://www.eltiempo.com/politica/gobierno/gustavo-petro-es-el-personaje-del-2022-para-el-tiempo-724866

In order to promote the conservation of threatened cats, the Jaguar Sanctuary opened a Wild Breeding area to incorporate jaguars into the wild. One of the biggest concerns that currently exist in Mexico regarding large cats is the fragmentation of their territory. Megaprojects such as the Mayan Train or the wall that crosses the border with the United States have not only invaded their natural habitat, but have rendered po[CENSORED]tions cut off. Part of the Jaguar Sanctuary's mission is to reverse this damage, rehabilitating specimens so that they can once again live in freedom. Located in the State of Mexico, a few kilometers from the archaeological center of Teotihuacan, this refuge for wildlife is part of Reino Animal: a conservation project that "seeks a balance between animal welfare and environmental education for visitors." , explains Ithiel Berrum, general director of the space, in an exclusive interview with National Geographic in Spanish. One year after the opening of Santuario Jaguar, the refuge continues to expand. Recently, the space inaugurated its Wild Breeding area. This is what we know about it. A space for rehabilitation and meeting An increasingly large team of veterinarians, biologists, guides, engineers, landscapers and maintenance personnel ensures that the Jaguar Sanctuary continues to be a suitable space for cats to recover. More than anything, because the bulk of the po[CENSORED]tion that is being rehabilitated there was seized by the authorities. In collaboration with the Secretary of the Environment and Natural Resources of Mexico (SEMARNAT), hundreds of rescued jaguars have been received in the last year. "We must know that the jaguar is a threatened and declining species," emphasizes Berrum. Above all, due to the ecological pressure that human beings exert on their ecosystem and habitat. Looking for a genetically diverse po[CENSORED]tion As a veterinarian graduated from the National Autonomous University of Mexico (UNAM), the specialist knows that the sanctuary plays a key role in two ways: It is a space to concentrate a genetically viable po[CENSORED]tion for controlled reproduction. It allows human beings to get to know the problems that the species faces, based on an "educational thematic route that visitors take in the Jaguar Sanctuary", details the director of the space. For this reason, the director of the Jaguar Sanctuary is clear that the collaboration between "the business sector, universities, government and other conservation centers". More than anything, adds Berrum, because a large amount of economic resources is required to maintain a refuge of these dimensions in the necessary conditions for the fauna. Due to the magnitude and impact that the project has had, Santuario Jaguar is hosted by the Kinder Sorpresa and Kinder Chocolate brands. In this regard, Solange Massimi, director of Public Relations and Corporate Communication for Ferrero de México and Central America, emphasizes the importance of children visiting this type of space: "[...] IT IS A ROBUST, WELL-ESTABLISHED AND GROUNDED PROJECT THAT HELPS THE NEW GENERATIONS TO SEE SOCIAL RESPONSIBILITY IN ANOTHER WAY", HE CONCLUDES IN AN EXCLUSIVE INTERVIEW FOR NATIONAL GEOGRAPHIC IN SPANISH. https://www.ngenespanol.com/animales/santuario-jaguar-inaugura-un-area-de-crianza-salvaje/

Donkervoort will end the D8 GTO era with the new F22, claimed to be the lightest two-seat supercar in the world. Weighing in at just 750kg, the F22 is the the most powerful car yet produced by Donkervoort. It has a power-to-weight ratio of 657bhp per tonne, thanks to a 493bhp turbocharged 2.5-litre five-cylinder engine linked to a rev-matching five-speed gearbox. Top speed, which hasn't been electronnically limited, is expected to exceed 180mph. Much of this lightness comes from a completely reworked chassis made from a mix of tubular steel and in-house-built, Formula 1-grade Ex-Core carbonfibre – which is stronger, lighter and can be made into more complex shapes than standard material. This allows for a 100% boost in torsional and bending rigidity over the outgoing D8 GTO Individual Series, which in turns brings better grip: it can handle a maximum lateral acceleration of 2.15g while cornering. The first car to come under the guidance of new boss Denis Donkervoort (who has replaced his father, founder Joop Donkervoort) is also the Dutch firm’s largest – at only 5cm slimmer and 50cm shorter than the Lamborghini Huracán – and most civilised. This is down to a more spacious cabin and, for the first time, a twin-plate targa-style carbonfibre roof that, the firm says, brings better everyday usability. A completely redesigned interior is the key to this, which boasts an extra 80mm of shoulder width and 100mm of cabin length over the car it replaces. It comes complete with custom-designed, lightweight Recaro seats, into which occupants are strapped by what's claimed to be the first six-point harness approved both for racing and road use. “The F22 is the pinnacle of what we know with lightweight engineering, strength, combustion engines and pure speed,” said Denis Donkervoort. “The F22 gives Donkervoort drivers new levels of speed, handling, driving purity, design and practicality and shows the world where Donkervoort is going in the future.” It will look to rival other premium lightweights, such as the new KTM X-Bow GT-XR (which also now comes with a roof), Dallara Stradale and Radical Rapture when it arrives next month, priced from €245,000 (£211,560). Just 75 examples will be made, up from an original 50 – all of which sold out after initial sketches were released. https://www.autocar.co.uk/car-news/new-cars/donkervoort-f22-750kg-supercar-arrives-£211k-price-tag

A Libyan man accused of making the bomb which destroyed Pan Am flight 103 over Lockerbie 34 years ago is in United States custody, Scottish authorities have said. The US announced charges against Abu Agila Masud two years ago, alleging that he played a key role in the bombing on 21 December, 1988. The blast on board the Boeing 747 left 270 people dead. It is the deadliest terrorist incident to have taken place on British soil. All 259 passengers and crew on board the jumbo jet bound to New York from London died while another 11 people were killed in Lockerbie when wreckage destroyed their homes. The latest headlines from Scotland 'New suspect to be charged' over Lockerbie bombing Timeline: Lockerbie bombing Last month it was reported that Masud had been kidnapped by a militia group in Libya, leading to speculation that he was going to be handed over to the American authorities to stand trial. A US Justice Department spokesperson told the Reuters news agency that Masud would make an initial appearance in a federal court in Washington. Five years ago he was serving a prison sentence in Libya for bomb-making. In 2001 Abdelbaset al-Megrahi was convicted of bombing Pan Am 103 after standing trial at a specially-convened Scottish court in the Netherlands. He was the only man to be convicted over the attack. Megrahi was jailed for life but was released on compassionate grounds by the Scottish government in 2009 after being diagnosed with cancer. He died in Libya in 2012. It is alleged that while in jail in Libya, Masud confessed to being involved in the conspiracy with Megrahi to blow up the flight. Aamer Anwar, Megrahi's lawyer, said Masud was actually in the custody of a war lord "widely condemned for human rights abuses" - he said the circumstances in which such a confession was extracted would be "strongly opposed" in any US or Scottish court. Megrahi, who always proclaimed his innocence, launched two appeals against his 27-year sentence. One was unsuccessful and the other was abandoned. In the 34 years since Pan Am 103 was brought down, the story of the Lockerbie bombing has taken many twists and turns. The prospect of a first Lockerbie trial, let alone a second, seemed extremely unlikely until Nelson Mandela brokered a deal which led to two Libyan suspects being handed over to a Scottish court sitting in the Netherlands. One of them was convicted of bombing the plane, but it was always the prosecution case that Abdelbaset al-Megrahi acted with others. The collapse of Colonel Gaddafi's regime in 2011 raised hopes that more suspects could be brought before a court until the country fell back into violent political instability. In 2020, the outgoing US Attorney General William Barr announced charges against Abu Agila Masud and behind the scenes, prosecutors at the Crown office, detectives from Police Scotland and their US counterparts continued to work on the case. The announcement that Masud is now in US custody means a second trial over the biggest mass murder in British legal history could now happen, under American rather than Scots law. But many challenges lie ahead, not least the legal status of Masud's alleged confession when he was held in prison in Libya. Its contents also appear to undermine and strengthen the prosecution case against Megrahi. As ever with this story, it's wise to expect the unexpected. A spokesperson for the Crown Office and Procurator Fiscal Service (COPFS) said: "The families of those killed in the Lockerbie bombing have been told that the suspect Abu Agila Mohammad Mas'ud Kheir Al-Marimi ("Mas'ud" or "Masoud") is in US custody. "Scottish prosecutors and police, working with UK government and US colleagues, will continue to pursue this investigation, with the sole aim of bringing those who acted along with Al Megrahi to justice." Police Scotland said it remained "deeply committed" to the investigation and to supporting the families and communities who suffered such devastating losses. A spokesperson added: "We continue to work closely with the Crown Office and Procurator Fiscal Service in Scotland, along with our partners within the UK government and the authorities in the United States, in supporting the continued pursuit of justice against those responsible" https://www.bbc.com/news/uk-scotland-63933837

What is known about the Colombian woman who appeared lifeless in a Miami Beach hotel This Tuesday, the Miami Beach police, in southeastern Florida (USA), arrived at the Sherry Frontenac hotel, located on the po[CENSORED]r Collins Avenue in Miami Beach, and found the lifeless body of a woman, after her co-worker reported that she hadn't seen her for three days. (In context: A Colombian woman is found dead in a Miami Beach hotel). "The Miami Beach Police (MBPD) received a call from a woman requesting a welfare check for a co-worker, who had last been seen on Saturday, December 3," authorities said. The agents who answered the call reported that they had to use force to enter the bedroom because the door was blocked with a mattress. (Also read: Viktor Bout, 'merchant of death' who was exchanged for Brittney Griner). Although the case has been handled with secrecy, it emerged that the woman would be Marelbi Ruiz Lara, a 47-year-old Colombian who had only been in the North American country for a year. Apparently, according to Nelson Tabares, the victim's son, Ruiz lived in the hotel with her sentimental partner, Ricardo Mesa, who made some arrangements in that place. For Tabares, Mesa is the main suspect in the alleged homicide, but he took his own life last Wednesday, when a highway patrol stopped him for frantically driving. Apparently, Ruiz's boyfriend got out of the car he was driving and injured himself. (Of interest: Young Latino wakes up after nine months in a coma in California). At this time, however, authorities have not confirmed any link between Tabares' death and a reported suicide at a traffic stop in Sarasota. What is known about the death of the Colombian? Nelson Tabares spoke with "Telemundo" and explained that they still do not know anything about the causes of his mother's death: "About 6 in the morning, we called the officers and around 9, they returned the call and gave him the news to my sister that they had found my mother dead. They gave us no details, they only told us that we found her mother dead. (Also: The 'daddy's boy' who became a serial killer after killing his father). Thus, the family is awaiting the results of the autopsy to find out what happened. The truth is that the US authorities are investigating the case as a homicide. As for Ricardo Mesa, Tabares revealed that he was a very jealous man: “he was a person, so to speak, possessive, he was very jealous. Hence, we have him as the main suspect and that is what we told the authorities," the man told the aforementioned media. On the other hand, Adrian Gonzalez, who identified himself as a co-worker of the victim, told 'Local10' that the last time he saw Marelbi was on Saturday, when he excitedly told him that he was going to go to another job with their partner because they would receive a better salary.

Cockroaches cannot live without a head forever. However, this survival mechanism allows them to make it for a while. Insects are the most diverse class of animals. According to data from the National Commission for the Knowledge and Use of Biodiversity (CONABIO), there are 915,350 species on the entire planet. In addition, these beings have a key role for the subsistence of ecosystems, as an example, some help the proliferation of plants thanks to pollination. As if that were not enough, they show peculiarities that continue to amaze scientists. One of them is the ability of cockroaches to survive without a head. Cockroaches: 320 million years on Earth, and counting Cockroaches make up the order Blattodea, in which there are 4,600 species distributed in 500 genera and 7 families, says Mauricio Ramirez, an entomologist at the University of Minnesota. These insects are distributed throughout the planet. Some, like the German, the Oriental and the American, are adapted to urban spaces. Britannica notes that cockroaches are characterized by their flattened, oval bodies, long threadlike antennae, and the sloping head. Another feature that distinguishes them is that the mouthparts point backwards. Besides, the males, in most species, have two pairs of wings, while the females usually lack them. It may interest you: How many species of cockroaches are there? Cockroaches are reptorial organisms. That is, they do not totally depend on the flight to move. This condition means that, evolutionarily, they have developed the speed and agility that distinguishes them so much. They are omnivorous, and much of their diet consists of fruits, fungi, and decaying wood. The variety of species means that some are diurnal while others are nocturnal. Why can cockroaches survive without a head? Mauricio Ramírez explains that in order to understand the reason why cockroaches, and some other insects, can survive without heads, it is necessary to understand that they are animals with body segmentation and that their vital systems (respiratory, circulatory and nervous) are benefited by this structure. To illustrate the previous point, the human could be taken as a reference, a living being that has its systems centralized in some organ. As for the nervous system, cockroaches have a brain that also directs activities, but each of the segments of their body has ganglia, which, in the absence of the head, can continue to carry out the work of the brain. It may interest you: What would happen if there were no insects? In the circulatory system, the situation is very similar. That of cockroaches is open, contrary to that of human beings. The segmentation of the body of these insects means that in each one of the compartments there are "atriums" through which the blood pumping continues. In other words: if the cockroaches were headless, they would not bleed out on the spot. Finally, there is what happens with the respiratory system. Cockroaches carry out this process thanks to organs called spiracles. Depending on the species, these are distributed in different regions of the thorax and abdomen. In case of losing their head, these insects can continue breathing, thanks to the fact that this part of their body is not essential to carry out vital functions. Of course, there is a limit to this, since eventually the cockroach will need to feed and without a head, ingestion is impossible. https://www.ngenespanol.com/animales/por-que-las-cucarachas-pueden-sobrevivir-sin-cabeza/

There is a delicious irony about our first drive in the Lamborghini Urus S happening in Qatar. In the wealthiest country per capita in the world, Qataris aren’t actually that interested in the S, the new ‘base’ version of the Lamborghini Urus. They’re all about the Urus Performante. Because if you’re going to buy a family car (and that’s what it is out here, even with the S’s £188,000 starting price), then you might as well get the top one. Overall, Qataris have embraced the Urus with gusto, earning it a healthy market share. And offering a more powerful starting point into the Urus range will hardly hurt Lamborghini. What’s staggering isthat even these punchier versions don’t cannibalise sales off the Huracán and Aventador super-sports cars. The SUV is simply an additional purchase, such is the rarefied world of the Middle East. The Urus S gets a reworked version of the bi-turbo V8 that appears in everything from the Bentley Bentayga to Porsche Cayenne, this time producing an additional 16bhp to take it to 657bhp and 627lb ft. Don’t tell the locals, but that’s actually exactly the same power as the Performante. There’s a retuned exhaust and some front and rear styling tweaks. The S also has a matt black stainless steel front skid plate, designed to match the grille, and a carbonfibre bonnet with optional body-coloured or carbon vent surrounds. (Plain black is standard.) Again, whisper it to the locals: the Performante has a carbonfibre bonnet. At the rear, the bumper has been tweaked, with more matt black parts lower down and a new exhaust tip design. More personalisation options are now available and Lamborghini is heavily pushing its Ad Personum programme, where most of the world’s colour palette is open to customers. Inside, there’s a newstitching pattern with fresh leather colour options, while drivers can choose from Bi-colour Sportivo or Bi-colour Sophisticated seats. In the least surprising news of 2022, given the power upgrade, the Urus S is a mighty fast car, to the point where no 2.2-tonne machine really has any right to be. And yet the impressive thing is how benign it can feel. No Lamborghini is subtle but it’s not tricky to thread it gently through a city centre. Drop it into Sport mode and the exhaust takes on a more aggressive note that’s only added to with all the popping and banging on the overrun. We criticised the exhaust note as being overly digitisedand not that charismatic when we originally road tested the last ‘normal’ Urus, but it feels less so now. It doesn’t seem to be as forced. One annoying character flaw remains, which is that you can only scroll through the car’s set driving modes (Strada, Sport, Corsa, Sabbia, Terra and Neve) in order. So if you drop into Sport for a B-road, you then have to cycle through five more to make the car more manageable for urban spaces. There is active torque vectoring via the rear differential, so that the car feels really keyed into the Tarmac in tight turns with far more bite and aggression than you might think, also assisted by thefour-wheel steer. You’ll get higher cornering speeds in a Performante (wider track, higher downforce) but if normal roads are your thing, the S is more than enough. Same goes for the ride quality. Disclaimer alert: the roads in Qatar are incredibly smooth. So despite our car’s whopping 23in wheels and low-profile tyres, I never felt a whisper of suspension wobble. I had a brief go in the Performante and that was much stiffer (coil springs versus the S’s standard adaptive air suspension) so the S is probably the one to go for in the UK. It feels like it could be better at the dual-purpose role of the everyday sports SUV, albeit if it’s only really in Qatar that it could be classified as ‘everyday’. https://www.autocar.co.uk/car-review/lamborghini/urus/first-drives/lamborghini-urus-s-first-drive

Russia and Iran's relationship has warmed to a fully fledged defence partnership, the US has said. Russia is giving an unprecedented level of military support, said US national security council spokesman John Kirby. The US has seen reports that the two countries are considering joint production of lethal drones, he added. Australia has announced it is sanctioning three Iranians and one Iranian business for supplying Russia with drones to use against Ukraine. Co-operation between Russia and Iran has been highlighted recently, with Ukraine accusing Russia of using Iranian drones in its attacks. After initially denying sending any drones to Russia, the Middle Eastern country later admitted it had supplied some before the invasion of Ukraine. Mr Kirby said that a partnership between Iran and Russia to produce drones would be harmful to Ukraine, Iran's neighbours and the international community. Zelensky accuses Iran of lying over Russia support Russia-Iran ties over Ukraine pose new dangers "Russia is seeking to collaborate with Iran in areas like weapons development, training," he said, adding that the US fears that Russia intended to "provide Iran with advanced military components" including helicopters and air defence systems. "Iran has become Russia's top military backer..." he said. "Russia's been using Iranian drones to strike energy infrastructure, depriving millions of Ukrainians of power, heat, critical services. People in Ukraine today are actually dying as a result of Iran's actions." In response to Mr Kirby's comments, UK Foreign Secretary James Cleverly said that Iran had become one of Russia's main military supporters and that the relationship between them was threatening global security. The "sordid deals" between the two countries have seen Iran send hundreds of drones to Russia, he said. "In return, Russia is offering military and technical support to the Iranian regime, which will increase the risk it poses to our partners in the Middle East and to international security," he added. He said the UK agreed with the US that Iranian support for the Russian military would grow in the coming months as Russia tried to get hold of more weapons, including hundreds of ballistic missiles. Ukraine accused Iran of supplying Russia with "kamikaze" drones used in a series of attacks which killed at least eight people on 17 October. After denying this, Iran later admitted sending a "limited number" of drones to Russia, "many months" before the war in Ukraine. Ukraine's President Volodymyr Zelensky said this was a lie and that Ukraine was shooting down about 10 Iranian drones a day. On Saturday, Penny Wong, Australia's foreign minister, said in a statement: "The supply of drones to Russia is evidence of the role Iran plays in destabilising global security. This listing highlights that those who provide material support to Russia will face consequences." She also announced measures against 19 other people and two entities, including Iran's Morality Police, for the brutal treatment of anti-government protestors following the death of 22-year-old Mahsa Amini in custody earlier this year. In other developments: Russia has turned the Ukrainian city of Bakhmut into "burnt ruins", President Zelensky says, following months of deadly fighting in the eastern Donbas region The United Nations says Belarus will allow the transit of Ukrainian grain through its territory for export from Lithuanian ports The head of a Ukrainian human rights organisation that was jointly awarded this year's Nobel Peace Prize - Oleksandra Matviichuk of the Centre for Civil Liberties - has called on nations to set up an international tribunal to try Russian President Vladimir Putin for Russia's war in Ukraine The International Olympic Committee says it will explore a proposal to allow athletes from Russia and Belarus to take part in sporting events in Asia - despite an international ban https://www.bbc.com/news/world-europe-63921007

Beta tests often function separately from full game releases—that is, what you do in the beta won't count when the full game comes along. The good news for Warhammer 40,000: Darktide(opens in new tab) players is that any progress they make in the ongoing pre-release beta will carry over to the full game when it launches on November 30. Fatshark left some doubt in an update posted yesterday, November 24, saying that it wanted to allow beta progress to carry over to the full release, but couldn't guarantee it. "The reason is that we are still using this period to test our progression systems, and we want to reserve the opportunity to change or reset things in the event something unforeseen or critical happens," the studio wrote. Apparently the studio has made enough progress on that front to be satisfied, though, because earlier today it committed to saving progress on Twitter. "Some may forget the promise of progress," the studio said. "We did not. Progression will carry over from the beta to the full release." Reaction to the promise was largely positive, although a few replies complained about the state of the beta, which has struggled with bugs and performance issues(opens in new tab). But there's a bright side for players deeply dissatisfied with their beta experience as well, as Fatshark said the Steam refund policy shouldn't kick in until Darktide goes into full release, so people can get their money back regardless of how much time they've spent in the beta. "We believe you will have the ability to refund with the same refund rules applying once Darktide launches and after November 30th," the studio wrote in a recent FAQ(opens in new tab). "Please send an email to (Steam support) for further details or additional clarification." It's not carved in stone, but it makes sense: As Fatshark implied, it's Steam policy so the call ultimately lies with Valve, but Darktide doesn't launch until November 30, so all the playing you're doing now (arguably, at least) doesn't count. I've reached out to Fatshark and Valve for more information on the Darktide refund policy and will update if I receive a reply. https://www.pcgamer.com/warhammer-40000-darktide-progress-will-carry-over-into-the-full-game-fatshark-confirms/

OnePlus 11 powered by the new Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 SoC is in the works. The Chinese smartphone brand is yet to announce the exact launch date of the smartphone, but ahead of it, its colour options have already surfaced online. The OnePlus 11 is said to come in glossy green and matte black colour options. The upcoming handset is expected to succeed the OnePlus 10 Pro. It is said to offer up to 12GB of RAM and a maximum of 256GB of storage. Reliable tipster Max Jambor (@MaxJmb) on Twitter suggested that the OnePlus 11 will be offered in glossy green and matte black colours. The OnePlus 10 Pro that launched in March this year also came in two colour options – Emerald Forest and Volcanic Black. The OnePlus 10T too debuted in Jade Green and Moonstone Black shades. However, there might be more colour options for OnePlus 11 when the phone officially launches. The Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 chip, which was announced last week, is confirmed to power the OnePlus 11. While OnePlus has not shared any other details on the upcoming handset and its launch, there have been several leaks in the past shedding light on the possible design and some specifications. The OnePlus 11 is tipped to run on Android 13-based OxygenOS 13 and will have a 6.7-inch 2K LTPO display with a 120Hz refresh rate. The display could feature a hole-punch cutout to house the selfie shooter. It is said to come in two RAM variants — 8GB, and 12GB — and two storage options — 128GB, and 256GB. It could include an alert slider as well. For optics, the OnePlus 11 is expected to carry Hasselblad-branded triple rear camera unit, comprising a 50-megapixel IMX890 sensor, a 48-megapixel ultra-wide angle sensor, and a 32-megapixel sensor. It is said to carry a 32-megapixel selfie shooter as well. OnePlus could provide a 5,000mAh battery on the OnePlus 11. It could come with support for 100W wired and 50W wireless charging. https://www.gadgets360.com/mobiles/news/oneplus-11-colour-options-glossy-green-matte-black-leak-3555184#pfrom=topstory
