Like the smaller EV6, the EV9 rides on Hyundai Motor’s E-GMP electric-car platform. While similar in size to the hugely po[CENSORED]r Kia Telluride, the EV9 has a longer wheelbase and a bit more interior passenger room. Brewing an EV, it’s unsurprisingly more expensive, with a base price of $54,900 and this top-trim GT-Line tester stickering for $79,390. (Right now, Kia imports EV9s from Korea, but in the summer, it will begin manufacturing in the US. Those EV9s should qualify for some of the $7,500 federal tax credit on EVs.) What immediately strikes you is the refinement. Yes, EVs are quiet and smooth in general, but the EV9 is especially hushed and silky. The GT-Line comes with motors at the front and rear combining for 379 horsepower and 516 pound-feet of torque. It is damn quick for something this large—Kia quotes a 0-60 mph time of 4.5 seconds—but the power delivery is expertly calibrated never to be jarring. There’s no slamming-into-the-headrest histrionics, and just a faint whine under acceleration. I spent some time in a Toyota Grand Highlander Hybrid Max just before testing the EV9, and while that car has a very nice hybrid drivetrain, the Kia shows just how much nicer things are when you get rid of internal combustion in a car like this. The effortless acceleration and near silence make the EV9 feel like a true luxury car by comparison. All long-range versions of the EV9 come with a 99.8-kilowatt-hour battery pack, and for the GT-Line, Kia quotes a 270-mile EPA range. I didn’t do any scientific range testing with it, but on one relatively fast highway drive I easily saw 2.7 miles/kWh, and on a slower drive that included a mix of highway and city traffic, I managed 3.1 miles/kWh. These were both on a dry, overcast 45-degree day and suggest that you should have no trouble matching or beating the official range figures. The efficiency is especially impressive when you consider the EV9’s size and weight, over 5,800 pounds as tested. Like the rest of its E-GMP family, the EV9 uses an 800-volt electrical architecture that provides for very fast charging speeds. At a busy Electrify America station and with minimal battery pre-heating, I managed around 160 kilowatts from around 40 percent state of charge. Kia says maximum charging is 210 kW, which is far better than most electric SUVs on the market. Overall, the EV9 is a very comfortable car, though the driving dynamics are what you’d expect from an SUV. It’s a nitpick, but I think the car is a little underdamped—roll over a big bump and it takes a little while for the body to settle down. And while the center of gravity typical of EVs helps with handling, this thing still weighs close to three tons. But, none of these are really points against, and certainly not for the EV9’s target customers. If you’re coming out of an internal-combustion three-row and into this, you won’t be disappointed. source:https://www.motor1.com/reviews/711436/2024-kia-ev9-gt-line-road-test/

CHICAGO (AP) — There is no one like Shohei Ohtani in the major leagues. Just last year, the two-way star took the mound and reached 103.5 mph during spring training with the Los Angeles Angels. It was an incredible display by Ohtani after Tommy John surgery. For the surgeon who performed the 2018 procedure, who heard about the impressive session through the Angels’ staff, it was a bit alarming. “Everybody was ecstatic,” said Dr. Neal ElAttrache, the head team physician for the Dodgers. “I was maybe the only one concerned because a jump in velocity, especially after a Tommy John operation, over the course of two to three years to that magnitude is exponentially more strain and stress on the ligament.” ElAttrache’s concern proved prophetic, and he operated on Ohtani’s elbow again in September — this one an enhanced version of Tommy John surgery. With the 50th anniversary of the first Tommy John procedure approaching in September, ElAttrache and Ohtani are at the center of what might be the operation’s most compelling case study. The Dodgers are betting on a successful conclusion, too. They handed a record $700 million contract to the 29-year-old Ohtani in free agency in December. source :https://apnews.com/article/ohtani-dodgers-elattrache-9a87de3cf0ea31d1bb78420d6b505cc7

In the last few seconds of his life, Rami Hamdan Al-Halhouli lit a firework and held it above his head. Then there were three sharp cracks - the first was a police officer's bullet, the second was the firework leaving Rami's hand, the third was the sound of the firework bursting over Rami's body in a bright shower of red and gold. Rami al-Halhouli was a 12-year-old Palestinian boy born and raised in Shuafat, a refugee camp in occupied East Jerusalem that is home to about 16,000 people. On Tuesday night, Rami was playing with his brother and friends in front of the family home when they urged him on to light a firework. He pointed it away from him, roughly in the direction of some Israeli border police, but aimed up into the sky. According to video of the incident, before even the firework could go off Rami was hit by a bullet fired by a border police officer positioned some distance away. In a statement, the police said a single shot was fired at a suspect who had "endangered the forces while firing aerial fireworks in their direction". The police have not yet released Rami's body to the family. The police did not respond to specific questions about the shooting, but the family told the BBC on Wednesday that the bullet hit Rami in his heart. "There was no hope," said his older brother Mahmoud, 19, who rushed to Rami the moment he was shot. "He was already dead." Source :https://www.bbc.com/news/topics/c2vdnvdg6xxt

Healthy lifestyles A healthy lifestyle can help you thrive as you move through your life's journey. Making healthy choices isn't always easy - it can be hard to find the time and energy to exercise regularly or prepare healthy meals. However, your efforts will pay off in many ways, and for the rest of your life. Steps you can take: Be physically active for 30 minutes most days of the week. Break this up into three 10-minute sessions when pressed for time. Healthy movement may include walking, sports, dancing, yoga or running Eat a well-balanced, low-fat diet with lots of fruits, vegetables, and whole grains. Choose a diet that's low in saturated fat and cholesterol, and moderate in sugar, salt and total fat. Avoid injury by wearing seatbelts and bike helmets, using smoke and carbon monoxide detectors in the home, and using street smarts when walking alone. If you own a gun, recognize the dangers of having a gun in your home. Use safety precautions at all times. Don't smoke, and quit if you do. Ask your health care provider for help. UCSF offers a smoking cessation programme. If you drink alcohol, drink in moderation. Never drink before or when driving or when pregnant. Ask someone you trust for help if you think you might be addicted to drugs or alcohol. Help prevent sexually transmitted infections (STIs) and HIV/AIDS by using condoms every time you have sexual contact. Keep in mind, condoms are not 100 percent foolproof, so discuss STI screening with your provider. Birth control methods other than condoms, such as pills and implants, won't protect you from STIs or HIV. Brush your teeth after meals with a soft or medium bristled toothbrush. Also brush after drinking before going to bed. Use dental floss daily. Stay out of the sun, especially between 10 a.m. and 3 p.m. when the sun's harmful rays are strongest. Don't think you are safe if it is cloudy or if you are in the water, as harmful rays pass through both. Use a broad spectrum sunscreen that guards against both UVA and UVB rays, with a sun protection factor (SPF) of 15 or higher. Select sunglasses that block 99 to 100 percent of the sun's rays. Healthy Outlook You may feel pulled in different directions and experience stress from dealing with work, family and other matters, leaving little time for yourself. Learning to balance your life with some time for yourself will pay off with big benefits - a healthy outlook and better health Steps you can take: Stay in touch with family and friends. Be involved in your community. Maintain a positive attitude and do things that make you happy. Keep your curiosity alive. Lifelong learning is beneficial to your health. Healthy intimacy takes all forms but is always free of coercion. Stay in touch with family and friends. Be involved in your community. Maintain a positive attitude and do things that make you happy. Keep your curiosity alive. Lifelong learning is beneficial to your health. Healthy intimacy takes all forms but is always free of coercion. Learn to recognize and manage stress in your life. Signs of stress include trouble sleeping, frequent headaches and stomach problems; being angry a lot; and turning to food, drugs and alcohol to relieve stress. Good ways to deal with stress include regular exercise, healthy eating habits, and relaxation exercises such as deep breathing or meditation. Talking to trusted family members and friends can help a lot. Some women find that interacting with their faith community is helpful in times of stress. Get enough sleep and rest - adults need around eight hours of sleep a night. Talk to your health care provider if you feel depressed for more than a few days. Depression is treatable illness. Signs of depression include feeling empty and sad, crying a lot, loss of interest in life, and thoughts of death or suicide. If you or someone you know has thoughts of suicide, get help right away. Call 911, a local crisis center, or (800) SUICIDE. UCSF Health medical specialists have reviewed this information.

Whale is a common name given to various marine mammals of the order Cetaceans. The term whale is sometimes applied to all cetaceans but more often it excludes dolphins and porpoises, which belong to the suborder Odontoceti (toothed whales). This order also includes the sperm whale, killer whale, pilot whale, and beluga whale. There is another species called baleen whales (in Latin: Mysticeti) and includes filtration whales that eat small creatures after hunting them, by filtering sea water through the comb structure in the mouth called baleen. This family includes the blue whale, the humpback whale, the bowhead whale, and the minke whale. All whales have forelimbs in the form of flippers, a horizontal tail, and nostrils on the top of the head. Humans have been hunting whales for centuries for their meat and as a source of valuable raw materials such as oil for lighting. humpback whale Anatomy Whales have torpedo-shaped bodies with inflexible necks, limbs modified into flippers, and a nonexistent external ear remnant. Whales also have large tails and flat heads, except for beaked whales. Whale skulls have small eye sockets, long suture points except for toothed whales and beaked whales, and eyes hanging on either side of their head. Whales range in size from the 2.6-meter (8.5-foot) long, 135-kilogram (298-pound) pygmy whale to the 34-meter (112-foot) long and 190-meter (210 short tons) blue whale. The blue whale is the largest creature on Earth. The size of many species that have sexual dimorphism favors the female more, as the females are larger than the males, with the exception of the sperm whale, whose males are larger than the females. Toothed whales, such as the sperm whale, have teeth with cells lined with ivory. Unlike human teeth, which consist mostly of enamel on the part of the teeth outside the gums, whale teeth have cementum outside the gums. Only in large whales is cementum eroded away from the tip of the tooth and enamel is visible. Baleen whales have bones made of keratin in addition to their teeth. Baleen whales have two blowholes, unlike toothed whales, which only have one. Respiration in whales consists of expelling air through the nostril in a strong, thick fountain, followed by inhaling fresh air into the lungs. The lungs of a humpback whale can inhale approximately 5,000 liters of air. The shapes of the blowholes vary between different types of whales, making them easy to identify. The heart of a whale weighs about 180-200 kg. Their hearts are 640 times larger than the human heart. The heart of the blue whale is also considered the largest heart among animals, and the walls of the arteries in the heart have been described as being as thick as the length of an iPhone 6 Plus mobile phone. All whales have a thick layer of blubber. In species that live near the poles, the skin can be up to 11 inches thick. This blubber can help increase buoyancy, which is beneficial to a 100-ton whale, and somewhat protective as predators would have a hard time getting a thick layer of blubber and the energy needed to fast when moving to the equator. Man used that fat in a way to protect him from the harsh climate. They can make up to 50% of a whale's body weight. Calves whales are born with only a thin layer of blubber, but some species make up for this with thicker layers of lint. Whales have a two- to three-chambered stomach, similar in structure to land animals. Baleen whales have a glandular stomach as an extension of their esophagus, which helps them digest food better. Whales also have gastric chambers and pylorus. the movement Whales have two fins on their forehead and a fin on their tail, and the flippers have four fingers. Although whales do not have fully developed lower limbs, some species such as the sperm whale and beaked whale have separate rudimentary limbs that may include feet and toes. Whales are very fast swimmers compared to dogs, which typically move at 5–15 knots, or 9–28 kilometers per hour (5.6–17.4 mph). Whales, by comparison, can swim at speeds of up to 47 kilometers per hour (29 mph). The sperm whale can reach speeds of up to 35 kilometers per hour (22 mph). Fusion of the neck vertebrae in whales, while increasing stability when swimming at high speeds, reduces its flexibility. Whales can't turn their heads. When swimming, whales rely on their tail fin to propel them through the water in a continuous motion. Whales swim by moving their tail fin and lower body up and down, propelling themselves through vertical movement, while using their flippers mainly for steering. Some species also emerge from the water, which may allow them to move faster. The skeletal anatomy also allows whales to be fast swimmers, as most species have a dorsal fin. Whales are adapted to dive to great depths. In addition to their streamlined bodies, they can slow their heart rate to conserve oxygen. They can also divert blood from endometrial tissues to increase water pressure to the heart and brain, among other organs. Hemoglobin and myoglobin in the bodies of whales store oxygen in the tissues of the body. Because whales have a lower concentration of hemoglobin than hemoglobin, many whales exhibit a behavior known as sounding before diving to great depths. In this behavior known as sounding, the whales stay close to the surface and make several dives to shallow depths; So that their bodies can re-store oxygen, and then make a sound while diving. the senses The whale's ear has specific adaptation mechanisms to the marine environment. The middle ear functions in humans to compensate for the low resistance of the outside air and the resistance of the cochlear fluid. There is no significant difference between the external and internal environment in whales and other marine mammals. Instead of sound passing through the outer ear to the middle ear, whales receive sound through the throat, which passes through a cavity of little fat before the inner ear. The whale ear is isolated from the skull by air-filled sinuses, which allow for greater directional hearing underwater. Toothed whales send high-frequency clicks from an oval-shaped organ called a melon. The melon's organ is made of fat, and the skull of any melon-bearing creature contains a distinctly shaped depression. The size of the watermelon varies between species the more they depend on it. For example, beaked whales have a small bulge on top of their skull, while sperm whales have a large melon on top of their skull. The whale's eye is relatively small for its size, yet it retains good eyesight. In addition, the whale's eyes open on both sides of its head, so that its vision consists of two fields rather than binocular vision like humans. Whale lenses and corneas can correct short-sightedness due to refraction of light. They also contain rod cells and cone cells, which means that they can see under dim and bright light conditions, but they have rod cells in a larger amount than cone cells. Whales, however, lack short-wavelength sensitive visual pigments in their cone cells, indicating that they have limited color vision unlike most mammals. Most whales have flat eyes, large pupils that constrict as they emerge to the surface to prevent damage, slightly flattened corneas, and a transparent membrane. These eye adaptations allow large amounts of light to pass through, so the whales get a very clear picture of the area around them. Whales also have glands on their eyelids and a layer of corneal epithelium that acts as a protective layer for the cornea. communication Whale vocalization likely serves several purposes. Some species, such as the humpback whale, communicate using melodic sounds known as whale vocalization. These sounds can be very loud, depending on the species. Humpback whales may only communicate using so-called clicks, while toothed whales use sonar waves, which may generate up to 20,000 watts of sound (+73dB) or +43dBW, and can be heard for many miles. Captive whales have sometimes been known to mimic human speech. Scientists have suggested that this indicates a strong desire in whales to communicate with humans. Since whales have a very different vocal mechanism, imitating human speech requires a lot of effort. Whales emit two different types of acoustic signals, which are called whistles and clicks: Clicks are rapid, broadband pulses used for echolocation in animals, although some lower frequency broadband sounds may serve a non-ecological purpose such as communication between beluga whales for example example. The pulses fire in a clicking train at intervals of 35–50 milliseconds, and these intervals between clicks are generally slightly larger than the round-trip time of the sound to the target. The second type is whistles, which are narrow band frequency signals, and are used for communication purposes such as phone calls. The intelligence of whales Whales are known to learn, cooperate, plan and grieve. The cerebral cortex of many species of whales contains elongated spindle neurons, which prior to 2007 were known only to exist in embryos. In humans, these cells are involved in social behavior, emotions, judgment, and theory of mind. The location of these elongated spindle neurons in whales is similar to that of humans, suggesting that they perform a similar function. Brain size was previously considered a major predictor of an animal's intelligence. Since most of the brain is used to maintain bodily functions, increasing brain-to-body-mass ratios may increase the volume of the cerebral cortex available for more complex cognitive tasks. Phonometric analysis indicates that mammalian brain volume measures approximately at ⅔ or 3/4 of the body mass. By comparing the brain size of a given animal with the expected brain size based on such an outgrowth analysis, a brain quotient is available that can be used as another indicator of an animal's intelligence. Sperm whales have the largest brain mass of any animal on Earth, averaging 8,000 cc (490 in) and 7.8 kg (17 lb) in mature males, compared to the average human brain averaging 1,450 cc (88 in) in mature males. Brain-to-body mass rates in some toothed whales such as beluga and narwhal whales are second only to humans. Young whales are known to engage in complex play behaviour, which includes things like producing an underwater airy vortex or bubble rings. There are two main ways to produce a bubble ring: quickly blowing a blast of air into the water and allowing it to rise to the surface, or forming a ring and swimming repeatedly in a circle and then stopping to spiral the air in, forming eddies. Young whales also seem to enjoy biting the vortex rings, so that they explode in many separate bubbles and then quickly rise to the surface, and some believe this is one of the whales' means of communication. Whales are also known to produce bubble nets for the purpose of foraging. Southern right whale Larger whales are also thought to be somewhat involved in the play. For example, the southern right whale raises its tail above the water and stays in the same position for an extended period of time in what is known as whale sailing. This is believed to be a form of play and is commonly seen off the coasts of Argentina and South Africa. Humpback whales among other species are notorious for this behaviour. life cycle Whales are fully aquatic, which means that their behavior at birth and courtship is very different from that of terrestrial and semi-aquatic creatures. Because whales are unable to go to land to protect their young, their fetuses are born tail-first. This prevents the fetus from drowning, either at or during childbirth. Whales pump milk into the mouth of their young to feed them. Being mammals, whales have glands that make milk for their young, which are weaned at 11 months of age. This milk contains high amounts of fats which are intended to accelerate the development of lipids. It also contains a lot of fat, which is similar in composition to toothpaste. Females give birth to a single young with a gestation period of about a year, followed by care for up to one or two years, and a maturation period of about seven to ten years, which varies between species. This mode of reproduction causes few whales to have offspring, but increases the likelihood of both whales surviving. Females referred to as cows are responsible for caring for their young, while males referred to as bulls play no role in caring for the young. Most baleen whales live in the poles. Therefore, this species migrates during the mating seasons to protect its unborn young from death due to frostbite. They stay there for a few months until their young develop enough blubber to withstand the very low temperatures at the poles. Young whales, referred to as calves until then, feed on the fatty milk of their mother. With the exception of humpback whales, the migratory season of whales is largely undefined. Most of them move from the Arctic or Antarctic to the tropics to mate, and to raise and educate the young during the winter and spring. Whales migrate back to the poles in the warm summer months, so the young can continue to grow while the mother can continue to eat, as she fasts in the breeding grounds. The southern right whale is the only exception to this type of life cycle. Whales migrate to Patagonia and western New Zealand, both of which are outside the tropics. sleep Unlike most animals, whales sleep conscious. All mammals sleep, but whales cannot afford to lose consciousness for a long time because they may drown. Since the ability to sleep in wild whales is limited, it has been recorded that toothed whales may sleep one side of their brains at a time, so they can swim, breathe, and avoid other predatory species and social contact during the sleep period. A 2008 study found that sperm whales sleep in an upright position below the surface of the water when diving to shallow levels generally during the day, as the whales do not respond to passing ships unless they are in contact, leading to the suggestion that whales may be sleeping during these periods of dives.

The government of the Republic of Korea was launched on August 15, 1948. Three months earlier, the first 198 members of the National Assembly had been elected in the country’s first general election held under UN supervision. On July 17 of the same year, the first National Assembly promulgated the Constitution. Its members elected Rhee Syngman as the first President on July 20. Rhee Syngman was widely known both inside and outside of the country as a leader of the country’s independence movement. The 3rd UN General Assembly held in Paris in December of that year passed a resolution that the government established in the south of the 38th parallel was the only legitimate government on the Korean Peninsula. South Korea’s Constitution was promulgated on July 17, 1948 after a month and half of work for its enactment. The government observes it as a national holiday. The first amendment to the Constitution was made in July 1952, while the 9th and last amendment was passed by referendum on October 27, 1987. The country’s Constitution adopts liberal democracy as the basic principle of governance. The Constitution guarantees the people’s freedom and rights under various laws. It also guarantees equal opportunities in all sectors, including politics, economy, society and culture, and recognizes the necessity of establishing a welfare state. The Constitution also sti[CENSORED]tes that all people have the obligation to pay taxes, engage in national defense, educate their children, and work. The Constitution states that the country should endeavor to maintain international peace. It sti[CENSORED]tes that international treaties signed and promulgated by the country and generally accepted international laws have the same effects as domestic laws. Under the Constitution, the status of aliens is guaranteed in accordance with international laws and treaties. Source :https://www.koreanculture.org/korea-information-government

What is a domestic dog? The term “domestic dog” refers to any of several hundred breeds of dog in the world today. While these animals vary drastically in appearance, every dog—from the Chihuahua to the Great Dane—is a member of the same species, Canis familiaris. This separates domestic dogs from wild canines, such as coyotes, foxes, and wolves. Domestic dogs are mostly kept as pets, though many breeds are capable of surviving on their own, whether it’s in a forest or on city streets. A third of all households worldwide have a dog, according to a 2016 consumer insights study. This makes the domestic dog the most po[CENSORED]r pet on the planet. Evolutionary origins All dogs descend from a species of wolf, but not the gray wolf (Canis lupus), like many people assume. In fact, DNA evidence suggests that the now-extinct wolf ancestor to modern dogs was Eurasian. However, scientists are still working to understand exactly what species gave rise to dogs. When dogs broke off from their wild ancestors is also a matter of mystery, but genetics suggest that it occurred between 15,000 and 30,000 years ago. While it’s impossible to say exactly how a wild wolf species became a domesticated dog, most scientists believe the process happened gradually as wolves became more comfortable with humans. Perhaps wolves started down this path simply by eating human scraps. Many generations later, humans might have encouraged wolves to stay near by actively feeding them. Later still, those wolves may have been welcomed into the human home and eventually bred to encourage certain traits. All of this is thought to have unfolded over thousands of years.

[Toyota GR Supra] We’re going to be upfront in saying Toyota is going to carry a large amount of this list. That’s mainly due to former Toyota president Akio Toyoda’s dedication to upholding the brand’s motorsport heritage. With that said, it’s perhaps a bit sardonic to kick things off with the Supra, a sporty coupe with a bit more Bimmer in it for some people’s liking. Still, its short throw shifter and waggy backside can’t help but endear you to it. [Kia Forte GT] We’re hard-pressed to call the Forte GT a “favorite” but apart from pickings being terribly slim these days, it bests each car on this list in one specific area - affordability. Starting at around $25,400, the Forte GT is a reasonably priced car that’s fun to toss around, something we have a particular history with. Source :https://www.topgear.com/car-news

The Dortmund left-back on leaving Chelsea, feeling free in Germany and his determination to succeed at the top level an Maatsen feels free. A bit-part player at Chelsea during the first half of the season, the left-back has found a new lease of life since joining Borussia Dortmund on loan in January. “The coach, the board, gave me a lot of confidence because they really wanted me,” Maatsen says. “They put trust in me and I put trust in them. I think that’s why it went so well. “I had trust at Chelsea but with the pressure they are under it is sometimes difficult for a manager to let everyone play – especially young talents with potential. He has to make decisions for the team. You have to deal with it as a young player. Sometimes it’s not fair but maybe it’s the best decision for the club and other teammates. I appreciate that. But I want to play football.” There was no chance of Maatsen, whose contract contains a £35m release clause, accepting a year on the sidelines. The 22-year-old was determined to establish himself at Chelsea last summer. He felt ready after returning from an outstanding loan spell at Burnley, whose romp to the Championship title owed much to the Dutchman’s electrifying performances on the left. “My plan was to stay at Chelsea,” Maatsen says. He enjoyed pre-season and impressed his new manager, Mauricio Pochettino. He even stood firm when Chelsea accepted Burnley’s bid on the final day of the summer transfer window. “I’d done my loan spells,” he says. “I thought I was ready to compete for the big clubs. But sometimes football works like this. I didn’t get a lot of opportunities. It’s not the end of the world but you have to be ready. You always have to believe because football can go quickly.” There is no bitterness towards Chelsea on Maatsen’s part. He is likely to leave on a permanent basis this summer but he does not have anything negative to say about his parent club. Staying put was not an option, though, in the winter. Maatsen did not hesitate when the offer from Dortmund arrived. “That was the best solution for me,” he says. “It was a big club where young players can develop. They have had players like Bellingham, Hakimi, Dembélé. I am happy to be here. At Chelsea I trained at a high intensity. I kept believing that when my chance came I would take it. You want to play every game. It was just being patient. Don’t let your standards drop because if you do then you put yourself in a position where the coach says: ‘Maybe that is the reason why he doesn’t play.’” Source :https://www.theguardian.com/football/2024/mar/13/ian-maatsen-interview-borussia-dortmund-chelsea
