New research has also found that trained dogs can also detect, with 96% accuracy, SARS-CoV-2 in urine samples, where the viral load is usually lower. The study, conducted by the University of Pennsylvania and published this week in the journal PLOS One, trained eight Labradors and a Belgian Malinois to learn how to identify urine samples taken from SARS-CoV-2 positive patients. After three weeks of training, all the dogs were able to identify SARS-CoV-2 positive samples with 96% accuracy, the researchers explain in their study. "It's not an easy thing to ask dogs for," said Cynthia Otto, lead author of the study and director of the Center for Working Dogs at the University of Pennsylvania College of Veterinary Medicine. "Dogs must be specific when it comes to detecting the scent of infection, but they must also generalize the background odors of different people: men and women, adults and children, people of different ethnicities and geographies," Otto explains. As this is an initial study, the researchers continue to work to translate this experiment into real-life applications. "The training should be done very carefully and, ideally, with many samples," they say in the statement from the University of Pennsylvania. This study seeks to join other current works that Otto and her team are developing, such as the so-called "T-shirt study". In this experiment, the dogs are being trained to detect whether a person is infected with SARS-CoV-2 or vaccinated, based on the smells left on their shirts worn overnight.

1/100 SLIDES © Motor1.com Copyright LEXUS LC 500 CABRIO 2021, FIRST TEST. We tested the new 2021 Lexus LC 500 Convertible. 2021 Lexus LC 500 Convertible, first test © Motor1.com Copyright Lexus LC 500 Convertible 2021, first test. The 5.0-liter block is a real treat. Presented in 2016, the Lexus LC is undoubtedly one of the most spectacular models not just from Lexus, but from the entire market, at least as far as design is concerned, because although we may have gotten used to its appearance, at launch it looked like a true saloon prototype taken to the road. Back in the month of September 2020 we were able to test the renewed Lexus LC 500 Cabrio, whose main asset, beyond the design of the model itself, is the great naturally aspirated V8 engine that hides under the hood. A propellant of those that are in clear danger of extinction. Today we want to show you a video with which to enjoy precisely the sound of the eight-cylinder block, a 5.0-liter that, as you know, offers a power of 477 hp at 7,100 rpm and a maximum torque of 540 Nm at 4,800 revolutions. The friends of AutoTopNL, who are used to unleashing all kinds of models on Autobahn sections without speed limitation, in Germany, are again responsible for this interesting video. According to the publication itself, the LC 500 Convertible can accelerate from 0 to 100 km / h in 5.1 seconds and from 0 to 200 km / h in 16.4 seconds. In addition, it reaches a marker speed of 281 km / h (269 km / h according to GPS), which is not bad for a convertible. In this case, however, the acceleration capacity or the top speed of the Japanese model take a back seat, since the true protagonist of this great convertible is precisely the atmospheric V8 block and its suggestive and musical sound.

Healthy lifestyles in adults and children are based on a healthy and balanced diet, frequent physical activity and avoiding bad habits such as smoking or drinking alcohol. Leading a healthy life is essential to stay healthy, prevent diseases, be productive, happy and maintain good relationships with those close to you. Here are several healthy lifestyles, based on diet, sports and mental attitudes. The lifestyle is not only food or sports, but a way of seeing life, and what activities are carried out. Lifestyles to have a healthy life 1-Veganism The vegan diet is one in which not only meats are avoided, but all products of animal origin, such as milk, eggs or honey. For many, veganism is not just a food option, but a way of life that tends to improve health, take care of the environment and protect animals from abuse and exploitation. The vegan diet avoids animal fats and tends to incorporate more fresh fruits and vegetables. In this way, the vegan diet helps reduce blood pressure, reduce the risk of type 2 diabetes and obesity, among other diseases. However, the vegan regime poses certain challenges. Any balanced diet must provide sufficient amounts of all the nutrients necessary for the good health of the body, such as proteins, vitamins and minerals. By not including products of animal origin, a vegan diet that is not well controlled can be deficient in iron, protein and vitamin B 12 in the long term, which is very harmful to health. If you are going to follow a vegan diet, remember that: You should avoid consuming refined carbohydrates in excess. It is best to incorporate fruits, vegetables and whole grains in all your meals. Taking a food supplement that includes vitamin B12 can be a very good idea. Accompany meals with a drink high in vitamin content Consulting a nutritionist is necessary to plan a healthy vegan diet that meets all your needs. Many people choose to follow a vegetarian diet and do not eat any type of meat but include some products of animal origin, such as milk or eggs in their diet. It is the so-called "ovo-lacto-vegetarian" regimen and it can also constitute a healthy lifestyle. The Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics of the United States and also the Association of Nutritionists of Canada affirm that balanced and well-planned vegetarian diets are healthy and provide certain benefits in the prevention and treatment of some diseases. For example, according to a meta-analytical study carried out in Japan, the vegetarian diet is capable of reducing blood pressure in some cases, without the need for medication. Learn more about the benefits of a vegetarian diet here. In addition, various scientific investigations affirm that the vegetarian diet can also reduce the risk of diabetes, cancer and obesity, among other diseases. On the other hand, the vegetarian diet is capable of improving blood glucose levels in diabetic patients, according to the results of a study published in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition. In summary, the ovo-lacto-vegetarian diet can be beneficial in many ways, as long as the eating plan is balanced and provides all the necessary nutrients. As in the case of veganism, it is best to always consult a nutritionist to help you plan your diet to avoid nutritional deficiencies. 3-Flexitarianism, the new option As you may have already seen, plant-based diets have many health benefits. Does this mean that you necessarily have to go vegetarian or vegan? No way. A short time ago a new word emerged that identifies eating habits that mainly include products of plant origin, but that occasionally also allow the ingestion of meat: it is flexitarianism. It would be like a semi-vegetarianism or a flexible vegetarianism. It is a diet that is based mainly on fruits, vegetables, grains and legumes, but those who follow it, from time to time also include fish, poultry or red meat, occasionally and in moderation. Eating less meat also has many benefits. In general, all balanced diets based on plant products help to have a good control of body weight and avoid chronic diseases. Eating meat once or twice a week will be enough to give you a treat if you feel like it, while maintaining the benefits of a vegetarian diet.

Russia's troop movements were important, but many in Moscow doubt that President Putin intended any further escalation. The unfolding of events has been impossible to ignore: thousands of Russian troops were deployed near the border with Ukraine, at a time when a group of American warships was supposedly heading to the Black Sea and the Russian Foreign Ministry He warned them to stay away "for their own good." As hostile rhetoric and military movements in Ukraine have intensified, Western politicians have begun to fear an open invasion and urge Russian President Vladimir Putin to "reduce the escalation." Russia has refused: the Defense Ministry insisted this week that its moves were in response to "threatening" NATO exercises in Europe. But then Putin received a phone call from the White House. "Biden blinked first" "In Putin's risky game, Biden blinked first," argues journalist Konstantin Eggert about the US president's call to the Kremlin, in which he proposed to meet with Putin "in the coming months." This happened just a few weeks after the US president said in an interview that Russia's leader was "a murderer." The passage of President Biden is now a matter of debate: perhaps he did it to prevent a disaster or perhaps it was a wrong concession. The truth is that in the run-up to a summit, a call like this makes the risk of major Russian military action wane. "It would be really unworthy of a politician: it would be a slap in the face for Biden," Eggert tells the BBC. "But the fact that it was Biden who suggested they meet gives Putin the upper hand." Putin shakes hands with US Vice President Biden during his meeting in Moscow in March 2011. IMAGE SOURCE, REUTERS Caption, Biden and Putin met in Moscow in 2011 and spoke on the phone Tuesday night. Determined to send signals, instead of soldiers Certainly Russian state television thinks so. Both presenters and guests on political programs have been praising Moscow's show of force, assuring that their country withstood hostility from the US and NATO. One commentator even suggested that President Biden's "nerves had failed." The "worrying" escalation of tension in Dombás, the border between Ukraine and Russia where Moscow has redeployed tanks and troops Senator Konstantin Kosachev was widely quoted as arguing that Washington had realized that it was "impossible to achieve military superiority over Russia" and that the two countries needed to return to dialogue. http://c.files.bbci.co.uk/66A8/production/_106808262_gettyimages-810246150.jpg A Russian commander watches during military exercises in Crimea on March 19, 2021. IMAGE SOURCE, GETTY IMAGES Caption, Russian forces have conducted exercises in Crimea. Russia's recent flashy troop movement always seemed rhetorical from a country that gave up its desire to be liked and now wants the West to fear it. When Vladimir Putin sent troops and equipment to eastern Ukraine seven years ago, he did so with covert operations that to this day he still denies he carried out. But this time, Russia seems more determined to send signals than to deploy soldiers. Kiev's "children playing with matches" "My opinion is that they try to dissuade," says Andrei Kortunov, director of the Council of International Affairs of Russia. The expert points to recent reinforcements by Kiev in eastern Ukraine and argues that Russia's actions are to prevent any move with the intention of retaking areas controlled by Russian-backed militants. A senior Kremlin official warned that such a military action would be "the beginning of the end for Ukraine," whose government consisted of children "playing with matches." Currently, Russia has an excuse to intervene: Around half a million people in the self-proclaimed "People's Republics" of Donetsk and Lugansk in eastern Ukraine have received Russian passports since fighting broke out in 2014. Map "I think it would be difficult for the Kremlin not to come to the rescue of these 'republics', if they faced the threat of a major defeat," explains Kortunov, arguing that now the Ukrainian army is significantly better equipped and trained thanks to the support from USA and Europe. But he still doubts that Vladimir Putin is planning an intervention.

There are dozens of Windows 10 settings that should be enabled by default. The fact that the icons are always grouped into icons on the taskbar means wasting a lot of space, although in that case we are not endangering our PC. However, there is one of the settings that are not activated that do put our PC at risk. We are talking about file extensions. We do not know why, but since Windows 10, Microsoft believes that it is convenient to hide them by default. This means that on many occasions we do not know what type of file we are opening beyond the icon. Thus, it is easy to identify if we are opening a .txt, a .docx, an .exe, etc. windows 10 files However, as it is disabled by default, we will not know the default file format. This is a serious danger, since it is possible to change the icon of the files regardless of the format. For example, it is possible to make an .exe file have a PDF icon that misleads the user into thinking they are opening a PDF, rather than malware. In the case of .exe files, Google Chrome tries to prevent us from downloading them, as well as analyzing them to see if they contain malware. The problem is that the files can come compressed, for example in .zip format, and with that they can bypass the blocking mechanisms and introduce the .exe file with the modified icon, since we can only see the file inside after unzipping it. That is why changing many of the settings that are disabled by default in Windows 10 is not something trivial, but it is something that is putting our security at risk when we use the computer, and therefore Microsoft should consider activating it by default. It makes no sense that the operating system depends so much on file extensions, and by default it is hidden from users to make it more difficult for them. It is similar to the trend of Google to eliminate HTTPS, although in this case at least it distinguishes between a secure web with a padlock, or an insecure web. How to enable the option to view file extensions In the event that we want to activate it, we have it quite easy. We just have to go to the file explorer, and at the top go to the View tab. There, on the right side, we will find an option called Filename extensions. With this, we will always be shown the extension of the files in any folder. By the way, it is advisable to also activate the option just below to show us the hidden files and folders. file name extension Source> Bleeping Computer

A GPU is actually a very complex type of processor, a heterogeneous system made up of several different types of units that have to be coordinated to give a coherent result. In this article we are going to describe the command processors, the part of the GPU in charge of this task. In every GPU there is always a central part that regardless of the architecture and the brand that we talk about is common in all of them, it is the command processors, the unit in charge of automatically managing the operation of the dozens of different units that exist. on a GPU. What is a command processor? NVIDIA GPU The command processor of a GPU is a microcontroller in charge of reading the screen list generated by the CPU, to do so it makes the DMA unit serve in the GPU itself to access not the VRAM but the main RAM of the system where this is stored. command list. After finding the screen list in RAM, it copies it to the internal memory of the microcontroller. The list of commands includes all the instructions that the different units of a GPU have to execute to render an image, either in 2D or 3D, but since the arrival of DirectX 11 to the PC, the so-called Compute Shaders have arrived, these are shader programs that are not associated with the graphical pipeline and that allow the use of the GPU to solve algorithms in which the CPU is less efficient. Today, a GPU is not only used to render impressive graphics for video games, it has many other uses and is used in several different markets, but the evolution of graphics cards towards these markets has gone in parallel with the evolution of the command processor. and its possibilities. What does asynchronous computing mean? ASYNC Compute First of all, it must be clarified that Compute Shaders are also used in the case of the graphic pipeline, especially in post-processing and pre-processing of the image. For example they are used to calculate lighting in delayed rendering. In those cases, because the execution of the Compute Shaders depends on the execution of the rest of the graphical pipeline, we say that it is synchronized, but there are tasks that benefit from the use of the GPU and that are not part of the rendering of the scene, therefore they work asynchronously. ASYNC Compute Command Processors To be able to visualize it better, we only need to see two different situations: In the first one, we are making bread but we find that we lack flour and therefore we ask someone not to go looking for it, this means that we cannot do anything while we wait for the flour to be brought to us. The second situation comes from the first, because we cannot make bread so we decide to wash the dishes. Something that we can do at any time and that has nothing to do with it. The designers of the different GPUs realized that in all the GPUs there were bubbles in the execution where some parts of the GPU of these did not do anything in small periods of time. That is why a few years ago they decided to implement asynchronous computing and collaborate in the development of APIs that make use of these, such as DirectX 12 and Vulkan. What are command lists? Processors Commands Types Today, the CPU itself is in charge of making the different command lists, either through a single core or multiple cores to create them in parallel. In video games, a core is usually assigned to create the graphics list, which is much more complex than the others and usually originates from a single memory ring. The lists of commands for computing are much simpler, they seek that the shader units solve a specific problem and provide the solution. In the case of the lists of commands for computing, these are usually made up of several different lists, which can be resolved simultaneously with each other and with respect to the screen list. The reason for this is that they are asynchronous and therefore do not depend on each other to function, this makes them totally independent and allows to take advantage of parts of the GPU that would otherwise be wasted due to inactivity. The other type of commands are those related to accessing the RAM or VRAM of the system, these commands are executed in both computing and graphics. In the case of graphics, memory operations are done solely and exclusively in VRAM, while in computing mode the data can be imported or exported both in RAM and in VRAM, since in some cases the GPU responds to a computation request from the CPU.

If you have not yet heard about the power of olfactory memory, let us give you an example to put you in context: Has it happened to you that after smelling the perfume of a stranger you were transported to a childhood memory? Or that, when perceiving the aroma of a food you remembered a relative? This association process is called olfactory memory. Read on to learn more about this sensory phenomenon that makes us travel back in time and savor dishes that are not in front of us. What is olfactory memory? The first thing to know about the subject is that olfactory memory is a brain process that takes place in our limbic system, but what does that mean? Well, the psychologist Sergio Muñoz in his text, 'The limbic system and its relationship with memory and emotions', defines this concept as a set of structures found in the lower part of the brain and that is responsible for our emotional life and integrates memory and smell. Having said this, olfactory memory is, according to the psychologist Xevi Molas, a set of associations that are produced from our experiences. The aromas are stored in our brain without knowing that in the future smelling them again will take us back to the past. We associate smells with moments and when we perceive them again, they take us back to a specific moment. That is why certain drinks can remind you of the boy you met in a dive, or a perfume can transport you around the world without leaving home thanks to the olfactory memory. © Getty Images What is the mental process like? Claudia Gómez in her text, 'The olfactory identity: an invisible and silent strategy', explains that for an aroma to bring you a particular memory, 6 steps must be carried out: perception, sensation, emotion, association, the imprint and the remembrance. Perception is the capture of said aroma; the sensation is the subjective interpretation that you give to it; emotion is the impulse to act on the olfactory stimulus; association is the meaning that your mind gives it and relates it to an event that occurred around said aroma; the imprint is the connection between the experience and the emotion (how you feel and what it means for you to smell it again); Finally, remembrance is literally the memory that comes to your mind when you smell that specific smell.

"The virus is attacking us and it is far from giving in." With unusual gravity, Argentine President Alberto Fernández announced on Wednesday night the beginning of a night curfew from Friday, as well as the suspension for two weeks of face-to-face classes in the city of Buenos Aires and its populous outskirts. Recreational, cultural and religious activities may not be carried out. Commercial activity must take place during restricted hours. Restaurants must close at night. Fernández was reluctant to take these measures in the face of social fatigue accumulated since March 2020, when the pandemic began. The exponential growth of positive cases and the growing fear of a hospital collapse has forced the president to put in place a new battery of restrictions and warn that he will appeal to all security forces for control in the metropolitan area. With the 368 deaths on Wednesday, Argentina accumulates 58,542 deaths. The infections reach more than 2.6 million. 71% of beds in intensive care units are occupied and, at this rate, they will soon not be able to cope. The speed of vaccination is much slower than that of infections. "We have more than doubled the number of infections in just one month. In the middle we try to call the social group to reflect. The advance of the pandemic is demanding a little more from us," the president told the po[CENSORED]tion. Thank you for watching Fernández gave his own case as an example. "I don't know how I got it, I can't find the link that infected me. I was able to cope well thanks to the vaccine I received," he said, after 12 days of isolation. The Peronist president reiterated that the main focus of infections is in social gatherings. "It is not in the factories, it is not centrally in the businesses that with social distance can serve customers. The central problem is where people relax." Difficulties The president seemed to speak alone and without the expected consensus of all the provinces. "I hope that the governors and mayors, who understand that they must accompany me at this difficult time, will do so." Fernández said that "the health system has also relaxed" by opening its doors to "attend to other types of surgical needs that could wait." In this way, "in the private system a number of used beds accumulated that today may be very necessary to attend to covid-19". Vaccination and opposition protests Some six million Argentines have been vaccinated so far. The country has one of the best regional averages and ranks 22nd globally, according to Oxford University's Our World in Data (OWD) database. "The vaccines keep coming, this weekend we are going to have more vaccines," said the head of state. Reportedly, 864,000 doses of the Oxford / AstraZéneca vaccine will arrive. The game will start immunizing people between 60 and 69 years old. The new restrictions were rejected by the right-wing parties that called for caceroladas in the more affluent neighborhoods of the capital and its surroundings. The noises reached the presidential residence. "President: decide against those who work, the parents who take their children to school, the businesses that merge. Decide for those who have their lives resolved against those who work. That is the crack that you have generated The oligarchy of the bureaucrats won, "said Patricia Bullrich, the president of PRO, the party of former president Mauricio Macri. Peronism accused her of seeking political-electoral profit in the midst of a situation aggravated by the economic collapse.

The new version of Windows 10, we refer to the 1903 or May 2019 Update, has already been among us for a few days, so some problems or failures have been gradually reported by users around the world, failures that Microsoft will solve with the launch of new updates, as is the case at hand. The truth is that so far no major errors have been found after the installation of the new version 1903, but as expected, there have been some complaints with some errors, both in the installation and in the start-up. That is why in these lines we are going to talk about the update KB4497935 for Windows 10 that has just been sent to all compatible computers, an update that was launched for Insiders last week so that they could test it before being publicly available in the today. Although there are numerous small problems solved with this update, without a doubt the most notable of all is the one that refers to the problems detected with USB drives or SD memory cards to which the drive letter is reassigned during the update. Specifically, we refer, as we already made known to you at the time, to a problem that caused Microsoft to block all updates to Windows 1903 if we had a USB device or an SD card inserted in the port. You can now update to Windows 10 May 2019 with the USB occupied This has come to generate enormous confusion among many users who, when it was time to update to Windows 10 May 2019 Update, they saw that the process was blocked, all because of something so inconsequential at first, such as having a mobile or Kindle charging through a USB port on the computer. And it is that this blockade was not only limited to external hard drives or pen drives, but to any connected device, which was somewhat annoying as well as confusing. USB Windows But this is something that has finally been fixed in the new patch KB4497935 that has just been sent bringing the operating system to version 18362.145. At the same time Microsoft at this time is fully aware that some games that use previous versions of BattlEye are not compatible with Windows 10 version 1903, so now BattlEye has provided an updated patch for the games that are affected. At the same time the firm recommends that we make sure that the game is updated with the latest version available, although if the error persists we can also uninstall BattlEye using "UninstallBE.exe" and then access the title, as well as try to uninstall and reinstall the video game affected. At the same time, the new patch solves other minor problems detected related to sections such as changes in the system language, in Internet Explorer, night light mode, games that run in full screen, or errors with the elimination of Bluetooth devices. .

Quantum computing is one of those technological advances soradicals that will surely change the world as we know it. Of course, we have not yet reached that point and there are years of development for us to see it at the consumption level, replacing the current binary system. Even so, in some very specific calculations, quantum computing has indeed revolutionized some areas that had long been blocked by the lack of power of traditional computing or by its excess consumption of resources. Companies like Microsoft offer through Azure the possibility of peering into the quantum world without the need to buy a computer of the future, for those problems that cannot be solved in a traditional way with current computers, and that it is possible that the premature state of quantum computing can solve them. Quantum has three basic application areas: process optimization, machine learning, and quantum simulation. Current quantum computers are not good at processing data, their RAM is not enough, so artificial intelligence or big data is out of their reach. AI so widely used today in solving problems and generating forecasts, as has happened in the COVID-19 crisis, works much better on traditional hardware. Something that Microsoft has done very well is that, without the need to expand development knowledge, just understanding how quantum computing works, it is possible to start developing in Azure Quantum with just Python and Q #. Also, for those who are used to using Azure, the system will be familiar, both for the development and for the deployment of the technology. Microsoft already has a few success stories behind it this year. To give an example, the consulting firm Jij has managed to get its client Toyota to improve traffic in the city by optimizing traffic lights using Azure Quantum. In this way, waiting times for cars are reduced by 20%, which also means less emissions and less air pollution. It's a good example of one of the areas we talked about earlier, optimization. Traditional hardware has a limit on the number of traffic lights that you can optimize on a route, but not the Quantum. Another area of use for quantum computing is simulation. The OTI company is able to design new materials by simulating the interaction of different molecules, using QIO or quantum-inspired optimization. In this way they do not create new materials by research, as they have done before, but rather design them depending on their needs. Until now, doing a three-molecule simulation was impossible for traditional hardware, a process necessary for OTI to be able to create new materials cheaply and efficiently, eliminating the bottleneck of traditional computing. The optimization of the use Microsoft Azure allows that instead of using 58,000 variables, the simulation can work only with 132 when working natively. Quantum computing still has a long way to go to replace the current binary, but there are already fields where it excels. Surely, as hardware improves, the application of this technology will move to more areas, but for now, Azure Quantum makes quantum computing accessible and applicable for any company.

The cafes where you can play with dogs and cats are already a classic in the big cities of China. So much so that some establishments have decided to go further and incorporate other far less common animals such as ducks, raccoons or even alpacas. In the eastern megalopolis of Shanghai, more and more cafes are trying to attract customers with animals that, until now, could only be seen in zoos. And it's not just about seeing them behind a window, but about interacting with them. China's booming animal cafes In his cafeteria, located in a shopping center in the north of the city, Xiao Qi, a 35-year-old man, has more than a hundred animals of 20 different species: from purebred cats to pigs, through chinchillas, rabbits, tarantulas. , snakes, ferrets or lizards. But the stars are a pair of alpacas, a male and a female - castrated so that they do not give "problems" - that attract the attention of the little ones while they graze, oblivious, in a small corral at the entrance of the business. , says its owner, it cost about 30,000 yuan (about $ 4,600 or 3,900 euros). China's booming animal cafes Anyone who wants to have a juice and caress one of them must make an appointment in advance and pay an entrance fee of 88 yuan (13.5 dollars, 11.4 euros), which gives the right to spend a maximum of two hours with the animals. Young couples and parents with children Most of the 600 or so people who come to this peculiar cafeteria each month are parents who bring their children or young couples, and the workers explain to them how they have to treat each animal. During Efe's visit to the establishment, a worker taught a little girl how to hold a ferret by the front legs and make it do cartwheels, without the animal giving any sign of resisting or being uncomfortable. "Normally the people who come are animal lovers and treat them well in their own right, but if they treat them badly we explain how they have to do it," explains Xiao Qi, who assures that none of his animals have reacted aggressively to the interaction with any of your customers. Of course, it is difficult to maintain harmony between so many different species in such a small space, and that is why they have learned not to remove the animals that get on badly at the same time, rotating them "regularly" and letting them rest in their cages. Others have found that alpacas prefer to be stroked on the head and that, if touched on the belly or hindquarters, they spit. "Although it happens more to us (the caregivers) because we clean them, brush them ...", she admits, laughing. Danger of contagion? Asked if a cafeteria is the best place to have alpacas, Xiao Qi explains that "they have a very good character" and that they are not always in their corral in the cafeteria, but they take them for walks "like dogs" in the vicinity and then at night they are taken to a "bigger" place to rest. China's booming animal cafes "All animals have their licenses," defends Xiao Qi, who explains that Chinese laws allow him to keep all his animals - even alpacas - as pets, and states that he has never received any direct criticism for his business. The pandemic has affected the cafeteria twice: first, because it was forced to close between January and March of last year, and only spending on food already amounts to between 10,000 and 20,000 yuan each month (between 1,540 and 3,080 dollars, between 1,290 and 2,580 euros). And, second, because scientific evidence points to the fact that the SARS-CoV-2 coronavirus could pass from the bat to an intermediate host - a wild animal - and from there, to humans, among whom it has caused havoc for more than a year. anus. Xiao Qi assures that there is no danger in his cafeteria, that all his animals are healthy and that "if they do not bite, they cannot transmit any virus, so everything is fine." But when it comes to less predictable animals, things change: in another Shanghai café, the stars are the raccoons. Its owner, Cheng Chen, 36, explains that all customers receive safety instructions and a kind of protective apron. In his case, the pandemic was an opportunity to give an animal a new home: of the eight he has in his establishment - among them, a three-month-old baby - one bought it from a Chinese zoo that was forced to sell some of their creatures because the absence of visitors due to covid-19 depleted their income. Although she has received scratches more than once, she says that her raccoons - which she feeds with dog food - are playful, respond to their names and can recognize people due to their good memory: «They are smarter than dogs and cats.

Yamaha MT-09 2021. Completely new It has already rained since in 2013 Yamaha launched its first MT-09, a Hyper Naked that not only revolutionized the market, but is here to stay… And in what way. 10/27/2020 Seven years have passed since the launch of the Yamaha MT-09, Yamaha's first Hyper Naked, which was supplemented, year after year, with the rest of its companions of different displacement. Since then, 250,000 MT models have been sold in Europe. From the small 125cc to the MT-10, a 1000cc 160hp bug. It may interest you: Yamaha MT-10 test, hypernaked The MT-09 appeared in the sector providing, not only an aggressive and striking aesthetic, but it also surprised with its three-cylinder engine and great torque, at a competitive price. All this is not going to change for the Yamaha MT-09 of 2021, but it is going to improve, and it is loaded with news. Yamaha MT-09 2021. Completely new Less weight, more power and the highest specifications The Yamaha MT-09 2021 is a lighter, more powerful and more advanced model in all respects. It offers more dynamic performance and more agility in driving. It features a new 889cc EU5 engine with CP3 3-cylinder crossplane technology that has been completely redesigned and has managed to reduce its weight. Seeking higher levels of power and torque at all speeds, Yamaha has left behind its 847 cc engine, giving way to a new era. It can be said that practically all the main components are new and, despite increasing its capacity, the whole is reduced by 1,700 grams, including its new exhaust, compared to the 2020 model. Those additional 42 cc compared to the previous model, contribute 4 hp to the MT-09 of 2021, reaching 119 hp at 10,000 rpm. But the most significant improvement is in the maximum torque, which is reached at 7,000 rpm, 1,500 rpm less than its predecessor. These higher levels of torque at lower engine speeds increase the performance of the new MT-09. Do not miss it: Yamaha MT-09 SP: path to perfection Yamaha MT-09 2021. Completely new What's new in the Yamaha MT-09 The 2021 version of the MT-09 is practically a new bike. It features a new fuel delivery system that contributes to a 9% increase in fuel efficiency.

For € 9,899, users of this Hyper Naked will enjoy a technologically advanced model that will cause an increase in adrenaline that, in Moto1Pro, we are wanting to feel in our meats. But for this we will have to wait since it will not be available in European dealers until March 2021. But do not worry, we will continue to report.

A study carried out this year by the National Federation of Human Management revealed that 98% of the country's organizations have implemented telework, to a greater or lesser extent, during the pandemic. The same has happened with educational institutions. In this way, millions of workers and students have gone, in a blink of an eye, from face-to- This situation has revealed the health risks of working and studying from home. In fact, not a few people have felt new pain due to the "home office" and associated bad practices, such as incorrect postures, sedentary lifestyle and lack of active breaks and physical exercise. What not many know is that several of these pains have a neuropathic component, that is, they are associated with nerve damage. That is where vitamin B comes into play, essential for the care of the nervous system. Take the example of the carpal tunnel, a disease that affects approximately 9% of adults, and which has been accentuated in the world po[CENSORED]tion by prolonged use of the computer. According to a study published in Nutrition Reviews, a supplement of 100 milligrams of vitamin B6 (pyridoxine), for a period of between six and twelve weeks, can represent an improvement of up to 68% in the symptoms of carpal tunnel syndrome1. Let us remember that there are several vitamins in group B. The aforementioned vitamin B6, for example, is essential for the synthesis or metabolism of practically all neurotransmitters, chemical substances that are responsible for sending messages in the nervous system. In fact, pyridoxine deficiency causes symptoms such as tiredness, nervousness, irritability, depression, insomnia, and difficulty walking2. Another important vitamin in this group is B1, also known as thiamine, essential for many physiological functions. Participate, for example, in the glucose metabolism, maintenance of nerve membrane function, and synthesis of various types of neurotransmitters. However, its most important function is to contribute to cellular energy metabolism. Precisely, it helps the conversion of carbohydrates, a task that provides energy to nerve cells. This contribution is very important because nerve cells, especially in the brain, consume a large amount of energy to maintain their functions and prevent, for example, premature aging3. It's not just the pandemic As seen in the cases of B1 and B6, the B vitamins perform crucial functions in the body that are not depleted in the ailments caused by the pandemic. In fact, we all have to take care of ourselves and try to maintain optimal levels of vitamin B. However, there are risk groups that should pay more attention to this issue, since, due to their living conditions, they may have a deficit of this group of vitamins. It is estimated, for example, that up to 80% of vegetarians or vegans, and up to 38% of older adults, may be deficient in vitamin B12 (also called cobalamin), which protects nerve cells, helps formation blood and supplies energy to the body4 5. It is also important to identify risk signs that may indicate low levels of vitamin B, such as pricks, burning, or sensations of numbness and numbness in different Several vitamins of group B, essential for ailments associated with the lifestyle imposed by the pandemic, but also for more general processes of our body, are found in foods such as meat, fish, potatoes, bananas and legumes. However, to ensure optimal levels, there are also supplements rich in vitamins such as B1 and B6, which can specifically help combat carpal tunnel and lower back pain, as well as maintain the proper functioning of the nervous system, essential for health. of human life.

Former US President Donald Trump and his attorney, Rudy Giuliani, are being charged with conspiring with far-right groups Proud Boys and Oath Keepers for inciting the January 6 insurrection. The civil suit was filed Tuesday in federal court by the Democratic chairman of the House National Security Committee citing a post-Civil War law designed to combat violence and intimidation by the Ku Klux Klan. The lawsuit, filed in a personal capacity by Mississippi Democratic Rep. Bennie Thompson, is the first civil action filed against former President Trump. It is related to the attack on the United States Capitol and comes days after the Senate acquitted Trump in the second impeachment trial against him. If the lawsuit proceeds, it would mean that the former president and others would be subject to disclosure of evidence and statements, which could expose details and evidence that were not disclosed during the Senate impeachment trial. ANALYSIS | The end of Trump's impeachment raises an oppressive cloud in Washington New explicit video of the attack on the US Capitol 0:32 Thompson pointed to Trump's words and tweets from months before the insurrection, to accuse the former president and his lawyer, Rudy Giuliani, of mobilizing and preparing his supporters for an attack and preventing Congress from certifying the results of the 2020 elections. , January 6th. The lawsuit cites a little-used federal statute, which was passed after the Civil War. This was aimed at combating the violence of the Ku Klux Klan; It allows civil actions against people who use "force, intimidation or threat" to prevent someone from fulfilling the duties of their office. “As part of this unified plan to avoid the Electoral College vote recount,” the lawsuit says, “the defendants Proud Boys and the Oath Keepers, through their leadership, acted in concert to spearhead the assault on the Capitol, while the The angry mob that the defendants, Trump and Giuliani, incited was descending on Capitol Hill. The carefully orchestrated series of events that unfolded at the Save America rally and the assault on the Capitol was no accident or coincidence. It was the anticipated and predictable culmination of a carefully coordinated campaign to interfere with the legal process required to confirm the counting of votes cast in the Electoral College. Former President Trump and many Republicans argued that the impeachment was unconstitutional because he was no longer in office. As such, Thompson points to Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell's speech on Saturday, where the Kentucky Republican appeared to encourage litigation against Trump. “We have a criminal justice system in this country. We have civil litigation, ”McConnell said after voting to acquit Trump. "And former presidents are not immune from being held accountable to either of them." These are the new and shocking videos of the attack on the Capitol 5:24 Jason Miller, a Trump spokesman, said the former president did not incite or work to incite the unrest on Capitol Hill. "[Former] President Trump has been acquitted in the Democrats' latest impeachment witch hunt, and the facts are irrefutable," Miller said in a statement. “[Former] President Trump did not plan, produce or organize the January 6 demonstration at the Ellipse. President Trump did not incite, nor conspire, to incite violence on Capitol Hill on January 6. " Giuliani did not immediately respond to a request for comment. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi has been briefed on the lawsuit, a source told CNN. "Trump's words fueled unrest" Thompson's lawsuit links Trump's repeated refusal to accept the election results in the weeks following November 3 to threats of violence against elected officials such as Michigan Secretary of State Jocelyn Benson, accusing Trump of endorsing the elections. threats rather than reporting them. The lawsuit also alleges that Trump's refusal to directly convict the Proud Boys during the first presidential debate in September encouraged his violent plans leading up to January 6. The lawsuit links the hours-long standoff on Capitol Hill directly to Trump's rally earlier that day where the then-president told his followers, "... if you don't fight like hell, you won't have a country anymore."

As with the rest of the companies involved in the development of Internet browsing software, Mozilla wants to take maximum care of the security of its users in its Firefox project, for which it does not stop implementing new functionalities, as is the case that concerns us here. We say all this because Mozilla is currently working on a new function for its web browser, Firefox, with which it aims to help its users with security issues through a generator of random secure passwords that they can use on platforms and services. in which they are registered. At the same time, what the firm wants is for this feature to join the browser's password manager so that they can work together on something as important as this. It all started with the implementation in Firefox 67 of new features to save passwords in private browsing mode and support for an authentication API, while Firefox Lockwise, a complementary application to the password manager, was launched. In fact, Firefox Lockwise on mobile devices brings all the passwords saved on the desktop to these platforms and supports options to log in in a synchronized way. In this way, the new password generator would be part of this set by working with the password manager, since it will be the browser itself that suggests a password during the registration process on Internet sites. Keep in mind that this new functionality will be activated in sites that use the "autocomplete = new-password" attribute, although it will also be activated in password fields that do not use it later. How the password generator works in Firefox 69 In this way, the program will show the option "Use generated password" when we access the corresponding field and then add the generated password to said field, automatically saving it in the software itself, something that we can consult in the "Saved accounts" button. as we will see later. Of course, to be able to make use of all this, first we will have to do with the latest version of Firefox Nightly, although we must also know that by default this is something that is not activated. To do this we load the page "about: config" in the address bar of Firefox Nightly and look for the entry called "signon.generation.available" where we double click to activate it and change its state. Then we will have the new function for generating secure passwords in Firefox, so we load the page "about: preferences # privacy" again from the address bar and go to the "Users and passwords" section to be able to activate the option called “Suggest and generate strong passwords”. As we have commented previously, next to this option we find the button "Saved accounts" so that we can check and manage the passwords that the browser itself has created over time. There is no doubt that Mozilla continues to work and add new functions with which it intends to increase the privacy and security of its users when browsing the Internet, an aspect highly valued by them.

False beliefs and superstitions contribute to cat phobia.Marko Blazevic / Pexels Having pets, especially if it is dogs or cats, perfectly adapted to the way of life of humans, can bring us many benefits, especially on a psychological and emotional level. However, there are people who cannot have them for various reasons, such as allergies or even phobias. And there are people who suffer from what is known as cynophobia - irrational fear of dogs - or ailurophobia - cats. Today we focus on the latter, its possible causes and how we can get rid of it. What is ailurophobia and how does it manifest? Being afraid of some animals can be normal, because we may think that they are going to scratch us, bite us, we are afraid if they jump, etc., but when this fear paralyzes us, it is irrational, it prevents us from leading a normal life and causes symptoms such as anxiety or panic, it is then a phobia. If this occurs when we are near a cat -or just thinking about the presence of it-, we would be talking about ailurophobia, an exaggerated and irrational fear of these felines. To distinguish a phobia from a fear, we must look at the following symptoms or reactions: Cinophobia usually appears in childhood and is generalized to any type of dog. Dog phobia or cynophobia: why it appears and how to overcome it • Fight or flight response. As soon as he sees a cat, he tries, either to flee or to confront, he animates, since he considers it a threat. • Hypervigilance (if the cat is present you cannot think of anything else), extreme nervousness, anxiety ... sometimes just hearing a meow. In the most extreme cases, even panic attacks can occur. • In the presence of the animal (or even imagining its presence), the person with ailurophobia may even have physiological reactions such as tachycardia, dizziness, sweating, chest pain, a feeling of suffocation, stomach pain, nausea ... • Avoidance behaviors. For example, avoid going to visit a family member or friend just because you have a cat at home. Although they are much more dangerous and being afraid of them would be more rational, people with ailurophobia do not usually experience the same fear towards other cats such as tigers or lions. What causes ailurophobia The most common is that the phobia of cats is present from childhood and the causes, as with other phobias, can be several. The most commons are: • Having suffered a traumatic event in the past. This traumatic event or negative experience can be, for example, having been attacked by a cat as children, having seen a fight between cats that has marked us, etc. If at that moment this fact caused us fear, anxie ning. This would be a ‘learned phobia’ or by observation, that is, if someone in our close environment - parents, siblings, grandparents ... - overreacts if they see a fato or tell us to move away, scratch, etc. our brain will learn to be afraid of cats. If this fear does not disappear and we have avoidance behaviors, it can turn into a phobia. Is there life after death? That is the big question, but for those who stay in this world. In the short term, it is clear that it will be different. Many will initially suffer from a phobia of going outside. Insomnia, anxiety, depression. Tendency to seek scapegoats. 20 rare but real phobias •Predisposition. There are people who are more predisposed than others to suffer from certain phobias. People with a tendency to suffer from anxiety are also more predisposed to suffer from phobias. • Po[CENSORED]r beliefs. Although, luckily, this is disappearing, traditionally cats, especially black ones, have been associated with superstitions, bad luck, witchcraft ... These false beliefs can make some people suggest themselves and end up developing a phobia. How is ailurophobia treated The best way to overcome this and any other phobia is to expose yourself to the cause that causes it. If the person who suffers from it is able to do it by himself or with the support of someone close, great, but the most common thing is that, to overcome a phobia, especially those that prevent us from leading a normal life, we need professional help. To treat ailurophobia, the psychologist can resort to various therapies, often a combination of these three. ty… our brain performs what is known as ‘associative learning’ and repeats that pattern of fear, anxiety… every time it sees a cat.• Vicarious conditio

undai Motor has revealed more details of the new KONA N. The company's first performance SUV will be available with an eight-speed wet dual-clutch transmission, known as the N DCT, which offers high-level performance to ensure a smooth ride. even more fun. The N DCT is the upgraded version of the company-developed 8DCT transmission, an eight-speed wet-type dual-clutch transmission. To accommodate the N models, the 8DCT transmission has received durability enhancements, allowing it to cope with the demands of high-performance cars. With the 2.0 T-GDI engine, it offers the best performance, applying transmission ratios without competition. The control unit on this transmission is specially calibrated, which translates into quicker shifts. In addition, it allows a series of exclusive driving functions. Hyundai's N DCT technology was first offered on the VELOSTER N, a model available in North America and Korea, and arrived in the New i30 N as a result of valuable feedback from the Hyundai's N community. In the case of the New KONA N, it is specified as standard with the N DCT transmission. © Provided by Revista del Motor The wet-type DCT transmission is structurally similar to a manual transmission, making it equally efficient in power delivery and shift response. Unlike a dry type gearbox, the wet type DCT uses two electric oil pumps to reduce the amount of friction between moving parts and for better cooling of the clutch, thus allowing greater transfer of torque through the the gearbox. The electric pump system consists of a high-flow electric oil pump, which is responsible for lubricating the gears and cooling the clutch, and a high-pressure electric oil pump, which supplies oil to the accumulator and maintains the pressure needed to control gear shifting. Together, they ensure that this wet DCT can operate with minimal loss of engine power, which translates into increased fuel economy at the same time. This new and updated pumping system increases the number of applications for the wet N DCT transmission, making it optimal for high torque vehicle applications. The benefits are twofold: this system results in better performance by increasing the maximum allowable torque, and at the same time, the vehicle is more fun to drive due to the higher efficiency in power transmission and acceleration performance. In addition to higher performance, the use of the N DCT also improves driving dynamics. The cooling oil constantly keeps the clutch at the optimum operating temperature, preventing overheating during high-performance driving when we push the car to the limit of its possibilities. However, even on congested roads or on steep slopes, situations where the transmission is put under greater stress, the N DCT ensures smooth and stable operation. © Provided by Revista del Motor The N DCT enables the development of exclusive high-performance functions that are sure to put a smile on the driver's face: N Power Shift, N Grin Shifty, N Track Sense Shift. These functions enhance the car's capabilities through specific logical shift management. The N Power Shift (NPS) system kicks in when the car accelerates with more than 90% of the throttle, mitigating any reduction in torque during upshifts to transmit maximum power to the wheels. This increases driving pleasure by offering a “push feel” when shifting up gear. The popping sound from the exhaust underscores the performance The N Grin Shift System (NGS) maximizes motor performance and DCT for 20 seconds. To obtain maximum acceleration, the car reduces directly to the most suitable gear. To activate it, the driver only has to press a specific button located on the steering wheel. A countdown then begins in the instrument cluster showing the seconds remaining for this function. Once the boost or overpressure is finished, the driver must wait at least 40 seconds to use it again. This function allows the driver to squeeze the full potential of the car with a single button, for example when pursuing the best lap time. It can also be an advantage when overtaking or merging onto a highway.

Only by touching three stages of the entire grid that has been given in this Colombiamoda that ends today, it feels that it has been a version committed to human thought, with current issues. Color and graphic design have been above what we call built collections. There are no trends, there is marketing. The fiber is confused with the vibe. It is not the first time we have seen him on a Colombiamoda catwalk. This time it came in alliance and under a brand that is well recognized by one of the large stores such as Grupo Éxito and its clothing brand Arkitect, which translates as a “capsule collection”, a way to sell faster with name of famous designers. This inauguration catwalk, they chose the best of the scenarios and without costing them a peso, because it was in the wide space of their distribution warehouses located in Envigado. The attraction was the work of projected images or mapping on the immense wall. Here the musical sound projected the memory of a Turkey and its colors, red, ocher, blue and the image of Custo who gave his greeting… Better in image than in person. And the collection? Flat and repetitive… and with a glossy model stripe, garments in a wide loose silhouette and others that are very tight. In memory? The great effort of Grupo Éxito and a loud applause for the impeccable work of InformaModels. Determined women This is a beautiful and humane collection that in its social sense made us have the tissue ready to shed tears with the story of the peasant woman in love with the town's heartthrob ... the same heartthrob who turned her on Wednesday in terms of abuse. María Luisa Ortiz is a lady designer and together with Don Diego Guarnizo, another man who knows this art of folklore but putting it at the height of a good job, they make the perfect union of a couple of designers who are not to be missed. They, in alliance with the Avon Foundation for Women, designed easy, loose and harmonious garments, where the printing on the different materials has strength and attractiveness. Collection that will only be sold by the "Avon" catalogs and this is the first time that a cosmetic brand sells under a designer name. Purification is the name of the sweet peasant in love. J.Balvin and GEF Simply out of the ordinary this alliance in which the great name of Gef always touched his pocket with a good investment of millions of dollars to have here in Colombiamoda a catwalk with more than two thousand something attendees, all driven crazy by a wonderful reggaeton artist, the great J.Balvin. Man who has his angel, his attractiveness and his great nose for business and fame. Here it is only necessary to say that everyone “vibrated with him”, that that staging with the spectacular group of Latin Union dancers and their clothes was brutal. They are sure to sell like hot cakes in Gef stores. Balvin is a star, he gives history for a long time and this will not be the last time on the catwalk.

Protests in Paraguay against the government's management of the pandemic ended in violent clashes on Friday and led the country's president to announce the departure of several ministers from his cabinet. Security forces fired rubber bullets and tear gas at protesters in downtown Asunción, while a group of people broke down police barriers, set fires and threw stones at officers, local press reported. The altercations left about twenty injured and turned the historic center of the capital into a kind of battlefield, amid the growing indignation of the po[CENSORED]tion over the increase in coronavirus cases and the lack of medicines and vaccines. What happened led the opposition, which accuses the executive of corruption, to request the departure of President Mario Abdo Benítez. The president, for his part, announced changes in his cabinet on Saturday, shortly after asking his ministers to make the positions available to him. The measures were announced while new citizen demonstrations were held demanding the resignation of the president. A man during the violence in Asunción. IMAGE SOURCE, REUTERS Downtown Asunción became a kind of battlefield. What the president said In a recorded message, the president indicated that the changes were made "for the sake of pacification" and in view of the expectations of the citizens. The president announced that the Minister of Education, Eduardo Petta, will be replaced; the Minister of Women, Nilda Romero; and the Chief of Staff of the Presidency, Juan Ernesto Villamayor, with the rank of minister. The head of the Ministry of Health, Julio Mazzoleni, had announced his resignation on Friday morning after a meeting with Abdo Benítez. "We have agreed together that I leave the post of the Ministry of Public Health so that the peace that is needed to face this challenge can really be generated," Mazzoleni said in statements to state television.

The president assured that the priority of the new head of Health is "to make all possible efforts to guarantee the po[CENSORED]tion the provision of medicines and supplies in a timely manner." Medical personnel denounce that hospitals have run out of drugs to treat covid-19 patients, while cases rebound. Furthermore, so far, only four thousand people have been vaccinated in Paraguay, a country of seven million. "Violence is never the way" As the Interior Minister, Arnaldo Giuzzio, did the day before, the president considered that Friday's demonstration was "clouded" "because of a few." "Violence is never the way, I express all my condemnation," he pointed out. A protester in Paraguay. IMAGE SOURCE, REUTERS Caption, The clashes occurred at night. "It is a pity that the young people have exceeded themselves and destroyed what was a civic party," the head of the Interior, Arnaldo Giuzzio, had told the Telefuturo news channel on Friday. The citizen demonstration began peacefully in the afternoon and was joined by a large number of young people, with national flags and protest banners in front of the Congress.

WhatsApp is finally beginning to introduce the dark theme in almost all its versions. WhatsApp for Android was the first to receive it a few weeks ago in its beta version 2.20.13, while the iOS beta has also started offering it a few days ago from 2.20.30.25. Now, WhatsApp Web is also preparing to receive the dark theme. This has been revealed by WABetaInfo, with a native function where we can finally do without plugins and other modifications that changed the color of WhatsApp Web. The appearance is very similar to what we find in the mobile versions, and it even seems to be slightly darker. Same colors as the dark theme for WhatsApp for mobile The feature is still in a very early phase of implementation, as it started just a few days ago, and is obviously not available to the public yet. This is why, for example, emojis don't look good yet and have a white box around them. The stickers, however, do look good and don't have any white frames around them. The colors remain the same as on mobile, where the background has a dark gray with a certain shade of blue, while the chats use a dark green. Thus, although it is still in a very early phase of implementation, the dark theme of WhatsApp Web is well advanced. To activate it, we still cannot find a setting in the Settings panel that allows us to activate it. The most logical thing for the future is that we find a switch in the navigation panel, or a whole new section in the Settings menu. The launch date of the function remains a mystery, although seeing how advanced it is, it would not be unusual for it to be launched throughout the month of March, coinciding with the inclusion in the stable versions of iOS and Android where it has been working correctly since the launch in both betas without presenting any bugs. When WhatsApp decides to officially launch them, it will make an announcement on its blog, so we will have to be vigilant. Regarding the version of WhatsApp for Windows 10, it would be expected that the option to apply the dark theme would also be included because it is still a webapp based on the version for browsers, so it is likely that when they launch the stable version, do it also for official computer applications.

The manufacturer GALAX has announced through its Facebook account that it already has its next generation of DDR5 RAM memory for the gaming segment in the mass production phase. With an image that shows dozens of memory chips and given that the announcement comes from the company's "OC Lab", we understand that these chips will be specially designed to overclock with them, since this manufacturer also tends to test all the memory chips one by one. chips to ensure its performance and stability. In the image we can see dozens of DDR5 DRAM chips manufactured by Micron Technology in a transport tray, which means that they must have received a generous batch of products with which to start the mass production of their RAM memories. Obviously in the photo we see a simple tray that is also half empty, but the reality is that these shipments - from Micron in this case - are palletized, which means that there are minimum quantities and these are usually counted in the thousands. GALAX DDR5 RAM getting closer and closer We have been talking about the next generation of RAM for a long time, and the reality is that there are already several models available (mainly engineering samples still) that have fallen into some lucky hands, but at the moment we are not seeing almost any commercial models that Furthermore, of course it has not yet reached the stores. DDR5 Micron Chips As we said, GALAX has only shown these DDR5 chips manufactured by Micron for now, but they will possibly be used to manufacture their RAM HOF memories since the announcement comes from the company's OC Lab, which is the one that markets these products precisely. We're at a point where major gaming and overclocking memory brands are beginning to announce the development of DDR5 memory products, and by now you wonder where the platforms are for these memories. It is rumored that the next 12th generation Intel Core processors (Alder Lake-S) with LGA1700 socket could already incorporate it for the first time, while in the AMD side there is still nothing with its own name, but the next generation is expected - which would also see a socket change to the AM5- will already incorporate it as well. Higher speed and density with less consumption DDR5 RAM is right around the corner and it has a host of advantages over current DDR4. To begin with, its base frequency will be 4,800 MHz and can be found in densities of 128 GB per module from the beginning, although we can expect higher densities as time goes by. Similarly, SK Hynix already showed the first functional DDR5 module with a frequency of 5,200 MHz and at only 1.1V that consumed 30% less power compared to normal DDR4 RAM. In this new generation of RAM memory, it has been sought to develop technologies that allow increasing the operating speed while maintaining the voltage, which will mean an improvement in efficiency. It has also sought to reduce electrical noise in data transmission (necessary to be able to increase the speed), for which a multiphase synchronization technology has been created that allows not to maintain but to reduce the voltage by integrating several phases on the same PCB. All these numbers are very promising, but until we have the first commercial models on the street and, of course, the first platforms that support them, we will not be able to talk about empirical figures to buy the performance improvement and consumption reduction that it brings. this new generation of RAM memory.

Title: Battlefield 4 Developer: DICE Publisher: Electronic Arts Players: 1-24 players (online) Platform: Xbox 360, PlayStation 3 and PC. Genre: First Person Shooter. It is not for less because one of the most impressive FPS that has been seen is already on sale, which launches a new graphics engine and gives us a taste of what we can see in the new generation of consoles. Battlefield 4 is the sequel to Battlefield 3, but as has always been the case, the stories are not related. On this occasion, history will take us to China, the great empire that is in chaos. We will take the role of Sergeant Daniel Recker, a member of a group of elite soldiers belonging to the Tombstone Squad made up of Clayton Pakowski (Pac, Marine Combat Rescue), Kimble Graves (Irish, Sergeant Major) and William Dunn. This squad will be in charge of stopping Chinese Admiral Chang who is planning a coup in China, if not, the Russians will back him and a bigger war could start. With this information, the USS Valkyrie (the ship where our factions are housed) heads to Shanghai. The Tombstone squad is sent on a covert mission in the city to extract a group of VIPs. Relations with China are somewhat strained after the US has been implicated in the assassination of Jin Jie, the future leader and voice for China's peace. Chang has canceled the elections and martial law has been declared. Both the US and Russia are positioned off the coast of China and the situation is rapidly escalating like a powder keg about to explode. Will we be able to stop this catastrophe? BF4 Many people have had the bad taste of the campaign in the last installment, but this time I assure you that the linearity of the story mode has ended up giving us more freedom to make decisions. A short but concise story where they show us from how to play to how to drive various vehicles, one of the most attractive points of this game. In addition to leaving behind the coldness of characters giving them representative features, surely you will fall in love with one of them. In the campaign we will no longer be a soldier, now we can give orders for attacks and although artificial intelligence is not entirely good, the truth is that they will help us kill enemies while we shoot or advance. This point gives it a bit of freshness with respect to the previous one where we had to do everything ourselves and our teammates did nothing about it. The version we are reviewing is the PlayStation 3, so the graphics are not as impressive as those of PC or the new generation. But despite this it looks improved. The effects of lights and textures give us an impressive view in open stages such as in the forest and even in the sea with the solar flares that blind our view, in addition to that thanks to the new Frosbite 3 engine it allowed them to take the next step with the destruction of objects in the environment. Everything is practically destructible (with some errors such as indestructible cars) but if in Battlefield 3 we were excited about a building falling, in this fourth installment we will be stunned to be killed because a structure was destroyed with a grenade in places that before we could be within except. Battlefield-4 I have always said that Battlefield is a purely multiplayer game and the campaign they added to it will not let me lie as it helps us a lot to practice for the online mode that is full of players from all over the world ready to fire the trigger. In multiplayer there are different modes, which we will explain below: Conquest The conquest mode is the classic mode where we must control territories, the more we control the greater chance of winning we will have, everything is based on working as a team and not letting the enemy take our already captured bases or take away the bases that they have already captured. TCT: Extermination One of my favorites is the extermination mode where basically you just have to kill and kill enemies, the team that has achieved the most casualties is the winner. Eradication The funniest and most hectic mode DICE has ever invented. This is a new mode where we have large maps, each team has its base and a bomb appears randomly on the map. The teams will compete to get hold of the bomb and install it in the enemy barracks. Assault A beastly mode where large maps are used to the maximum, where we will see all kinds of vehicles and wholesale destruction. The objective is for the attacking team to destroy two MCOM stations using bombs in two different places on the map. The defending team has to prevent this from happening before running out of comebacks. If the attacking team is successful, two more MCOM stations will appear farther away on the map. Assault Mode continues until the attacking team has destroyed six enemy MCOM stations or when the defending team has finished with the enemy's respawn tickets.

Ten people in southern Nepal have died from attacks by these animals The country set the goal of doubling the world's number of these cats by 2022, with a current po[CENSORED]tion of 235 tigers A tiger at the Bronx Zoo in New York in a file image A tiger in a zoo in a file image EVANPHOTO / WIKIMEDIA COMMONS The escape of a tiger, known to attack humans in Nepal, which had been recently caged after weeks of searching, has unleashed panic on Wednesday among residents near a nature reserve, forcing authorities to ask for caution. Last week, after an intense capture operation, a team of 24 experts from the Department of National Parks and Wildlife Conservation and military personnel, with the help of three elephants, managed to capture in southern Nepal two tigers accused of killing eight people. One of the cats was taken to Banke National Park. "On Tuesday, the tiger that had been transferred to Banke Park fled after breaking its iron cage," says the reserve's chief conservation officer, Shyam Shah. The tiger broke three metal bars of the cage, reveals Shah, who assures that "people who live near the park have been advised to avoid entering the forest and to be careful." Adult tigers, between the ages of 10 and 13, have been "spreading terror" in recent months in the Bardia National Park, the expert explains. So much so that ten people in this area of the country have died from attacks by these animals, and the authorities suspect that two felines are responsible for at least eight of the deaths. Among the victims are four women, who often fall into the task of venturing into the forests in search of fodder and firewood. "In the same way, members of marginalized groups have died because they are the ones who live in areas close to forests and depend on their resources," emphasizes the head of conservation. Dalli Rawat, 62, a resident of the town of Mohanpur, died on March 16 after being attacked by a tiger while searching for edible plants in a wooded area, an event similar to the one that led to the death of Renuka Sunar, 27. years old and a native of Kothiyaghat (southwest), on March 10. Nepal has a po[CENSORED]tion of 235 wild tigers, according to the last census carried out in 2018, almost double the 121 recorded in the 2009 census. However, the country has set a goal of doubling the world number of these cats by 2022. Since then, Nepal has worked to improve the habitat of these animals and develop a strategy that includes financial compensation to people attacked by felines, avoiding retaliation. But according to experts, competition for territory between male tigers sometimes causes some specimens to approach areas inhabited by humans.

In 1993 a model was born for many “strange” that mixed the technology and winning cycle part in superbike for the road with a daring look with a name that went to the hair. Many of us stole our hearts that 900 with its bright red and gold chassis. Now the firm continues in its incessant work of making those who look at it fall in love. After its long life with changes, the 2021 model is now presented, more compact, essential and as light as possible. With a front inspired by that of the Panigale V4, it has a short aluminum chassis, attached directly to the cylinder heads of the engine, achieving a total weight of only 166 kg. Do not miss: New Ducati Panigale V4 SP 2021: Crème de la crème You may be interested in: Ducati SuperSport 950 and Ducati SuperSport 950 S 2021 True to its essence, the new Ducati Monster 2021 remains a sporty Naked motorcycle within everyone's reach. Perfect for those who want to start but also to delight the most experienced pilots. Engine of the new Ducati Monster 2021 The Desmodromic Testastretta 11 ° 937 cc twin-cylinder engine with a weight reduction of 2.4 kg is responsible for giving life to the new Ducati Monster 2021. The engine block also serves as the chassis as it has been designed to be a structural element of the frame. With 111 hp (81.6 kW) at 9,250 rpm of maximum power and a maximum torque of 9.5 Kgm (93 Nm) at 6,500 rpm, the new Monster improves the figures of its predecessor, in addition the delivery is fuller to any speed, especially at low and medium revs. The maintenance intervals are distanced and the oil change now has a set expiration of 15,000 km, while the valve lash check is necessary every 30,000 km. Quick Shifter available as standard, different driving modes to change the character of the engine and clutch - very smooth in its operation - anti-bounce will delight the most demanding. Cycle part Ducati Monster 2021 Inspired by Ducati Superbikes, the new Monster is conceptually reminiscent of the Panigale V4 and its aluminum chassis is now 4.5 kg lighter than the previous one. It is also accompanied by a new aluminum swingarm that reduces no less than 1.6 kg and follows the philosophy started with the new Multistrada V4. All this places it at those brilliant 188 kg (dry weight 166 kg) in running order, thus reducing 18 kg compared to the previous model. Shorter wheelbase, now 1,474 mm, a contained turning radius that improves its performance and was another cornerstone of the Monster project. Regarding suspensions, the new Ducati Monster mounts a 43 mm fork, with a travel of 130 mm. The cantilever rear shock attached directly to the swingarm is adjustable and provides generous travel for the 140mm rear wheel. The suspension set is able to offer a balance between comfort and precision. In the brakes section, what to say ... here Ducati is never wrong and this time it was not going to do it. With the help of Brembo, the new Monster, on its front end, mounts two 320 mm discs bitten by a pair of Brembo M4-32 monobloc calipers with 4 pistons and radial pump. Meanwhile, on its rear wheel we find a single 245 mm disc held by a Brembo caliper. In both trains it has sintered brake pads that are able to improve their efficiency. New Ducati Monster 2021 And to finish with the cycle part, the new Nonster 2021 mounts Pirelli Diablo Rosso III tires, 120/70 at the front and 180/55 at the rear, on alloy wheels, which reduce its weight to only 1.7 kg compared to the models. Monster 821. Ergonomics in the new Ducati Monster 2021 As it could not be otherwise, the riding position of the latest Monster model comes with its hallmark of being a comfortable and dominant motorcycle, improving it with respect to the latest version and giving real-time information about what is happening down there. . Its seat, 820 mm from the ground and with a good 70 mm of padding thickness, is now closer to the handlebar (65 mm) and the footpegs are lowered 10 mm and 35 mm forward, thus achieving a more upright position and maintaining a high level of comfort thanks also to the thickness of the seat with a padding of 50 mm. Electronics in the new Ducati Monster 2021 Like all Ducati models presented for next year, the new Monster takes advantage of Ride-by-Wire technology and the bike's dynamic control systems to compose the Riding Modes (Sport, Touring and Urban) that modify the character of the bike. motorcycle adapting it to the road conditions and / or the skill of the rider. With ABS adjustable in three levels you can always find the right point in your driving.
