  1. I don't want to be this kind of animal anymore," says Disco Elysium. "Want to be a minotaur then?" says Sovereign Syndicate. As our associate editor Tyler Colp recently put it, the fate of Disco Elysium 2 is uncertain, but other games might make up for it. One such potential plug for the Disco-shaped hole in our hearts is Sovereign Syndicate, a CRPG set in an alternate Victorian London. You can tell it's an alternate reality because the menu screen shows it's got zeppelins, as all alternate realities are required to have by law. The minotaur's a bit of a giveaway as well. While the final version of Sovereign Syndicate will have three player-characters to choose from—Clara the corsair, Otto the automaton, and Atticus the minotaur—the current demo is restricted to the minotaur. An alcoholic in a top hat, Atticus Daley is a small-time illusionist and big-time loser who begins the game in extremely Disco Elysium fashion by waking up from a bender with a head full of voices and a gut full of bad booze. The similarities extend to the interface, which scrolls dialogue down the right-hand side of the screen as abilities like Wit and Spryness offer their opinions, each illustrated with a stark portrait. One difference is the addition of an external voice called the Crone, who the other chatterers are upset to find cohabiting your skull. The first quest in my journal is to figure out who she is and what she's up to. More pressing matters emerge in the shape of the masked stranger who wakes me up, insists we have business, then waits for me to pull myself together. This opening scene involves meandering around a grubby London street, examining discarded junk. From a newspaper and a poster I pick up a couple more quests, one to find some missing orphans, the other a mysterious "courtesan killer". From the other garbage I pick up my handy sword cane, and some gears and cogs I'll be able to sell later, immediately reminding me of all those bottles I recycled in Martinaise. One exit from this street is blocked by an electrified fence, beyond which is the Werewolf Containment Zone. I can't remember the last time three words made my imagination feel so fizzy, but tragically the Werewolf Containment Zone is beyond the scope of this demo. Instead, we move on to the Red Lotus, an opium den where I'm a regular customer. Things can go a couple of different ways here, depending on whether I cast an illusion to make myself look a little more human, or stay bull-shaped and force a confrontation with the bigoted centaur behind the front bar. Attempting skill checks, like the one to cast an illusion, costs Nerve. That's a resource lost whether you pass or fail, based not on dice, but drawing tarot cards face down then choosing one to flip. Each of the four suits relates to one of your four abilities, and while the rules aren't clearly explained, I muddle through just fine. Picking dialogue responses and making decisions flagged with abilities gives you points in the bodily humor(opens in new tab) linked to each one. Animal Instinct is yellow bile for instance, while Self Discipline is phlegm. They're the equivalent of experience points, with every 10 letting you choose to either increase that ability by a point, increase one of the skills related to it by three points, or take a card from the major arcana that has some kind of special bonus. One major arcana card I earn highlights whichever facedown card I draw during a skill check has the lowest number, while another gives me back three Nerve points every time I flip a face card. It's a flavorful idea, as is the character sheet styled after a phrenology exam—though given my bull's head, it also looks kind of like a diagram for cuts of meat. Successfully hiding my horns makes the next interaction easy, but on a replay I try dealing with this bouncer the hard way. Confrontations are shown as comic strips, each panel a separate step, whether it's an attempt to bribe your way out of trouble or rapping someone on the chin with the pommel of your cane-sword. The black-and-white pictures are another flavorful touch, like old-timey newspaper illustrations or some of Kevin O'Neill's art for The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen. These blow-by-blow comics get in the way of the story less than another combat system full of range penalties and movement modifiers would. Sovereign Syndicate's demo covers a few more interactions inside the Red Lotus, then wraps up. It's clearly got a long way to go, with a suggested release window of "holiday 2024(opens in new tab)." Right now there's no way to move the camera, and the ending's pretty abrupt. It remains pretty high on my list of anticipated games, not out of any particular interest in steampunk—never a big fan of Arcanum, I'm afraid—but because I'd love to see more wordy, Disco-like CRPGs that emphasize story, and squeeze in characterful oddities like the Werewolf Containment Zone. You can try the demo for yourself on Steam(opens in new tab). link: https://www.pcgamer.com/sovereign-syndicate-is-shaping-up-to-be-steampunk-disco-elysium/

  3. The Ford Fiesta could be discontinued as early as next year because it won't get an electric successor, a report has claimed. The supermini has fallen out of favour with the British public in recent years, with buyers flocking to the rival Vauxhall Corsa – the UK’s best-selling car in 2021 – and the Ford Puma crossover. The Puma is the third-best-selling model in the UK so far this year, trailing only the Nissan Qashqai and the Corsa. Meanwhile, the Fiesta doesn't feature in the top 10 best-sellers to date, despite a recent facelift. It was speculated earlier this year that Ford earns more from Lego licensing deals than the hatchback. This trend is mirrored in Europe: according to data from Jato Dynamics, Fiesta sales by the end of August were down 45% compared with 2021 levels, at 38,911 units. Meanwhile, Puma sales were down 14% compared with the same point in 2021, at 90,893 units. In August alone, the Puma placed 12th for European sales, with 9891 examples leaving showrooms. The Fiesta failed to place in the top 50, at just 2735 units. The Fiesta could be axed as early as 2023, The Sun has reported, likely to make way for the Puma EV launching in 2024. This would bring to an end a 46-year history spanning eight generations. Autocar understands that an official announcement regarding the Fiesta’s future is imminent. Ford said in a statement: “We are accelerating our efforts to go all-in on electrification and therefore review our vehicle portfolio in line with our business strategy. We do not comment on speculation and will share more information in the coming months.” This follows June’s news that production of the larger Ford Focus will come to an end in 2025, without a direct successor tipped for production. It's instead expected to be replaced by an electric crossover – one of four new EVs due by 2024 – to sit between the Puma EV and the existing Ford Mustang Mach-E. Arriving in 2023, this model may be based on the Volkswagen ID 4 and be built at Ford’s new state-of-the-art EV manufacturing centre in Cologne, Germany. A similar model, expected to be a coupé-bodied sports SUV based on the Volkswagen ID 5, will follow the year after. Ford of Europe boss Stuart Rowley said in March: “Let me assure you these products will absolutely look like Fords, drive like Fords and the experiences that we provide will give customers unique purchase and ownership experiences.” The company expects to sell some 600,000 EVs annually by 2026 under its Ford Model E division, which operates separately from its ICE car and commercial vehicle divisions (Ford Blue and Ford Pro, respectively). Ford previously stated that it will sell only EVs in Europe from 2030. https://www.autocar.co.uk/car-news/new-cars/ford-fiesta-production-set-end-next-year

  4. Tottenham's 2-2 draw against Liverpool was a game that had everything: loads of chances, Harry Kane's first goal in ages, both sides coming back, a red card... and controversy. A lot of controversy. Earlier in the day, BBC pundit Alan Shearer said the officials "have been awful for a long time now. The people running VAR don't seem to be good enough" after Newcastle were refused a penalty in their 4-0 defeat by Manchester City. And the theme continued at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in the final Premier League game before Christmas. "I have no idea what his problem is with me," said Reds boss Jurgen Klopp about referee Paul Tierney, who he approached with some angry words at full-time. "That is two wrong decisions from him and one right - all three against us." The angry German added he had wondered if there was anybody in the video assistant referee office before Andy Robertson was sent off. What happened in the game? 13 mins: Harry Kane scores Spurs' opener 20 mins: Kane catches Andy Robertson with a reckless sliding tackle and is booked. VAR does not upgrade it 35 mins: Diogo Jota equalises for Liverpool 37 mins: Jota is pushed over by Emerson Royal in the box, but a penalty is not given 39 mins: Klopp is booked for dissent 53 mins: Spurs' Harry Winks is nudged over by Joel Matip on the edge of the area, but a penalty is not given 69 mins: Andy Robertson puts Liverpool ahead, the ball hits Mohamed Salah's arm in build-up 74 mins: Son Heung-min equalises for Spurs 77 mins: Robertson is sent off for kicking Emerson's legs by the VAR, after initially being shown a yellow card What did Klopp have to say? On Jota not winning a penalty and Klopp being booked: "Mr Tierney told me Diogo stops on purpose because he wants the foul. First and foremost, if you want to shoot you have to stop because you cannot do both. "It is incredible. He had the best spot on the pitch and doesn't give it. "When you see the situation back, the VAR is there. Why is he stopping? I don't understand." On being booked: "You will have to ask him what his problem is with me. "I was a bit more emotional in the game but the referee gives me a yellow card - but it is not allowed in a situation like this? He comes over and gives me a yellow card but I'd have preferred the right decisions on the pitch." On Kane not being sent off: "That is a clear, absolutely 100% red card. I just need to ask two people, Mr Tierney and whoever was the VAR. Harry should not have been on the pitch in the second half and then tell me how the game goes. "This situation, if Andy Robertson's leg is still on the ground his leg is broken. We all agree on that.It is still a red card but the ref saw it differently." On Robertson's red card: "It's not the harshest ever but it is not the smartest as well; he knows that,he is a really good boy but he lost it a little bit. "This red card you can give, but is there proof that the VAR was there today because before that we thought he might not be in his office because of the two other situations." On Tierney's performance: "You don't need a ref that helps you. You need a ref who is clear and objective. In three decisive decisions, he was once right and that was with Robbo, and twice wrong. All three were against us." How about the view from Spurs? Spurs boss Antonio Conte said: "I don't know if Jurgen wanted to comment on this but I can tell you my staff said to me that it was incredible to give the second goal and not to disallow it because there was a clear handball from Salah. "I don't like that we have to speak about refereeing decisions at the end. I think that's not good for anyone." Kane did not even think he should have been booked, let alone sent off. "At the time, I thought it was a good strong tackle," he told BBC Sport. "Maybe it looks a little worse when you slow it down. That's what VAR is there for [to make the right decision]. "There are going to be strong tackles in a game like this. I wasn't worried. I was quite surprised [to be booked] to be honest." 'A joke of a decision' - what did the pundits say? Former Liverpool midfielder Ray Houghton said on BBC Radio 5 Live: "What we need from VAR is accountability, we don't hear from them. "They are just people in a room that make these decisions. Nothing is put on them about why they make a decision? "That's why you get situations where Jurgen Klopp is in his technical area absolutely furious. He could have got sent off. He's seen a possible red card not given and a penalty not given." Ex-Wales midfielder Robbie Savage said: "I thought VAR was supposed to come to the correct decision. Honestly, I'm getting fed up again." And former Celtic forward Chris Sutton added: "What frustrates is the inconsistency. It is one rule for Tottenham today and one rule for Liverpool." Former Liverpool defender Jamie Carragher, speaking on Sky Sports, said: "You cannot condone speaking to a referee but managers are emotional. We want managers to be honest and emotional and the decisions that go against Liverpool, it was a blatant penalty. Harry Kane should have been sent off. "We were frustrated with VAR a year or two ago; we are OK with it at the moment but we have gone right the other way. Now we are thinking what is the point of VAR with penalties? It is not VAR, it is who controls it." On the penalty that wasn't given, ex-Reds midfielder Jamie Redknapp said: "He just barges him. At least get some opinion from VAR. There is not a fan of football, ex-player who would say that is not a penalty. It is a joke of a decision." link : https://www.bbc.com/sport/football/59722235

  5. The Conservatives have had a miserable time in England's local elections. The problem the Tories have faced is a range of competitive opponents. Labour, the Liberal Democrats and even the Green Party have capitalised on the shrivelling of Tory po[CENSORED]rity. Liberal Democrat smiles were sufficiently broad that party leader Sir Ed Davey was found comparing himself to a Cheshire cat. The Lib Dems appear to have finally banished the baggage of their years in coalition government. Plenty of Lib Dems are proud of their time serving alongside the Tories between 2010 and 2015, but plenty of their voters were horrified by it and they were near obliterated eight years ago. Memories of it for many seem to have retreated sufficiently far into the rear-view mirror that it is no longer a drag anchor on their prospects. "We are the none-of-the-above party again," one party source observed. This was the Green Party's best ever set of local election results. For the first time, they've secured a majority on a council, in Mid-Suffolk. Labour optimism The only Conservative comfort blanket on an otherwise cold night for them is the scale of a bounce back Labour has to make to win a general election. Some have suggested the numbers from this election suggest they would have fallen short of a majority had there been a general election this week. Labour are continuing to insist these local elections results would have led to a majority Labour government, because of progress they believe they can make in Scotland, plus the geographical distribution of their vote share. Party strategists reckon, with all the problems the Scottish National Party is facing, they could win 20 seats in Scotland at the next general election. They currently hold one. And Labour say their vote is much more "efficient" than it has been. What do they mean by this? They point out Labour won the general election in 2005 on 35% of the vote, but lost in 2017 with 40% of the vote, because the party was stacking up voters in places where it was already dominant - such as big cities and university towns. They argue this week's results show, for them, a much better distribution of their vote in places they need to beat the Conservatives - including good performances in places that voted to leave the EU and places with smaller proportions of graduates.

  6. The RSPCA has expanded its food bank partnership to cover nearly the whole of Lancashire as well as new plans to include parts of Greater Manchester, Cheshire and Merseyside. In November (2020) Deputy Chief Inspector Alison Fletcher, who works in Lancashire, decided to link-up with food banks in the area to provide them with pet food for owners who were struggling to make ends meet. Starting with five areas across Lancashire, the scheme now includes 11 food banks covering almost the whole of the county. Alison said: “We are absolutely thrilled with how well this project is going and how responsive the food banks have been in helping provide people with pet food. We also hope to expand and incorporate Greater Manchester, Cheshire and Merseyside in the project very soon! “We know just how important our pets are to us. They really do become part of the family but sadly, since the start of the coronavirus pandemic we are seeing more families being unable to afford to provide for their pets. "Many people are experiencing tough times at the moment and the last thing we want is for a loving owner to have to give up their companion and real source of comfort, so we set up this scheme in the hope that we could provide as much pet food as possible and keep families and their pets together.” Jason Barbour, from Accrington in Lancashire, uses the Maundy Relief Foodbank in Accrington. He has a two-year-old crossbreed dog called Captain Jack and the food bank means he can provide food for his much-loved dog as well as himself. Jason Barbour with Captain Jack Jason said: “When I got Captain Jack as a two-month-old puppy, I only expected him to grow to the size of a staffy. He has actually grown to double that size which means he needs double the amount of expected food. "He’s my life and my main source of support - I couldn’t imagine life without him as he is always by my side 24/7. "If the food bank couldn’t support us with pet food, I could never give him up. I always would have found a way, even if that meant not eating myself. I’m not the sort of person to give him away. He’s everything to me. “He is my reason to get up in the morning. I just wouldn't be me without him, he is my family and my comfort. He has got me through lockdown and Covid. We just take care of each other.” Jason, who has now used the food bank for the last five years added: “The team at Maundy Relief are fantastic people. They do everything they can for you. They are a lifeline to so many people and I can't thank them and the RSPCA enough for the assistance they offer to me and Captain Jack.” Over the last few months, the RSPCA has been able to donate 3,500kg of pet food to food banks in Lancashire, helping people like Jason, and dogs like Captain Jack. Pet food brand Purina has donated six pallets of cat food to the project meaning Alison and her colleagues have been able to provide even more pet food for those who need it.

  7. https://www.stiripesurse.ro/consilierii-lui-donald-trump-ajung-pe-mana-procurorilor-in-urma-atacului-asupra-capitoliului_2330655.html Membri ai Camerei Reprezentanţilor SUA s-au pronunţat miercuri în favoarea urmăririi penale împotriva a doi apropiaţi ai lui Donald Trump pentru că au refuzat să depună mărturie în cadrul unei anchete parlamentare privind atacul asupra Capitoliului, notează AFP. Dan Scavino, însărcinat cu reţelele sociale ale lui Donald Trump când acesta se afla la Casa Albă, şi Peter Navarro, consilierul economic al fostului preşedinte, sunt amândoi trimişi în faţa procurorilor federali care vor trebui să decidă dacă îi pun sub acuzare pentru "tentativă de obstrucţionare a unei anchete a Congresului". Niciunul nu a fost de acord să depună mărturie în faţa unei comisii a Camerei însărcinate să investigheze asaltul asupra Capitoliului, când mii de partizani ai lui Donald Trump au invadat sediul Congresului SUA în încercarea de a-i împiedica pe congresmeni să certifice victoria lui Joe Biden la alegerile prezidenţiale, informează Agerpres. Dan Scavino este suspectat că a fost cu Donald Trump la 5 ianuarie 2021, cu o zi înainte de acest atac, şi că a participat la o discuţie despre cum să-i convingă pe membrii Congresului să nu meargă până la capăt cu această certificare. În ce îl priveşte, Peter Navarro "nu a făcut un mister din rolul său în manevrele vizând să răstoarne rezultatelor alegerilor din 2020 şi chiar a menţionat sprijinul fostului preşedinte pentru aceste proiecte", a subliniat şeful anchetei parlamentare, democratul Bennie Thompson. Această comisie a Camerei, cu majoritate democrată, a recomandat deja urmărirea penală împotriva fostului şef de cabinet al lui Donald Trump, Mark Meadows, şi a unui fost consilier al miliardarului republican, Steve Bannon, pentru refuzul lor de a depune mărturie. Ea speră să-şi publice concluziile înainte de alegerile legislative din noiembrie, în cursul cărora republicanii ar putea recâştiga controlul asupra Camerei şi să-i îngroape munca.

  10. A team of researchers from Riga is developing technology that will one day help change the course of asteroids heading for Earth, Euronews reports. High-precision hand-built chronoscopes in the laboratory of the Latvian start-up Eventech are used today to track the movements of satellites. But this year, the company won a contract from the European Space Agency (ESA) to develop tools capable of assessing the possibility of deflecting the course of an asteroid before it gets too close to our planet. In turn, NASA plans to launch the first phase of the AIDA mission next year to deflect the trajectory of an asteroid and assess the impact of such an operation, called the Double Asteroid Redirection Test (DART). Also, as part of DART, on July 22, 2021, a Falcon 9 missile from SpaceX, Elon Musk's company is to launch a 500-kilogram probe, equipped with a camera, in the direction of the asteroid Didymos to hit and change its current course, which risks approaching Earth in 2123. Eventech chronoscopes should be ready for the HERA tracking mission, scheduled five years later, to determine if this impact has really changed the course of the asteroid. "Our new technology, which will equip the second ESA spacecraft called the HERA, will measure whether the impact removed Didymos from the previous course, thus avoiding hitting Earth," said Imants Pulkstenis, Eventech engineer. "It's much more interesting to go where no man has ever been than to make consumer electronics for huge profits," he added. Eventech chronoscopes are part of Latvia's tradition of space technology, dating back to the Soviet era, when Sputnik - the first man-made satellite to orbit the Earth - was launched in 1957. They measure the time it takes for a pulse of light to reach and return from an orbiting object. Eventech devices can record time measurements of up to a picosecond - or a thousand billionth of a second - allowing them to be converted to distance measurements with an accuracy of up to two millimeters. Every year, about ten chronoscopes are produced by the Latvian laboratory to equip observers around the world. They make it possible to observe the Earth's atmosphere, increasingly crowded by new waves of private satellites, to which are added traditional scientific and military devices

  12. Apex Legends has gone pocket-sized with Apex Legends Mobile, an entirely separate version of the battle royale game for Android and iOS devices. Apex Legends Mobile is quite different from its older sibling, featuring a unique roster, maps, modes, and progression track--some of which unfortunately detract from the overall experience. However, Apex Legends Mobile streamlines the process of playing a battle royale to create a fairly rewarding experience that's fun to play. Apex Legends Mobile is a battle royale game first and foremost. You and your squadmates pick from a roster of hero characters called "legends," before then dropping onto a map. To win, you need to loot supplies and weapons, escape the encroaching energy wall that slowly corrals squads into an ever-dwindling space, and be the last team standing. When you fall in battle, your allies can grab your banner from the deathbox you leave behind and respawn you, keeping the whole team in the fight. There's a satisfying heft to shooting and smoothness to movement, and the unique strengths and weaknesses of each playable legend encourage teams to stay and work together. Color-coded attachments and ammo types ensure the momentum of the match is constantly moving forward--at a glance, you know whether a pile of loot contains anything you might want or need--so you aren't wasting time navigating menus and can get back to the action. All of this, of course, is directly pulled from the already superb Apex Legends. If it ain't broke, don't try and fix it. The game features two other modes beyond battle royale: Arenas and Team Deathmatch. Arenas is a 3v3 mode in which teams compete in a collection of rounds where items, legend abilities, and weapons need to be purchased with currency at the start of every match. Arenas offers a much higher skill threshold than the standard battle royale mode, as there are no respawns. TDM, meanwhile, is far more approachable, putting players into 6v6 matches where you can change your weapon or legend whenever, with infinite respawns. Arenas is great. TDM isn't. Arenas leans into why the battle royale's combat is so compelling: Teams have to work together, intelligently using their firearms, abilities, and knowledge of the map to plan an attack, execute, and adapt if necessary. None of that exists in TDM, which is your standard mindless shoot-'em-up game mode seen in practically every shooter--it lacks the same uniqueness and brand of flavor Respawn has captured in Arenas and battle royale. Even as an on-ramp for new players, the mode is not compelling, since TDM has to be unlocked and you'll likely have a few hours under your belt by the time you do. And with a firing range and non-ranked playlists, TDM isn't an ideal warm-up mode either. Apex Legends Mobile offers rewards to players in a number of tracks. Daily and weekly challenges are available to further your progression in both the free and premium tiers of a battle pass, experience points earned by playing the game contribute to your player level, Apex Packs unlock cosmetics for legends and weapons, and there is also the perk system. All those different types of progression are a lot to keep track of, but it ensures that you're often earning something or working towards unlocking some sort of reward with every match you play. Most of it is your typical live-service game fare and provides a compelling enough reason to turn on the game every day and play a quick match or two, though the perk system, in particular, presents an interesting twist. In Apex Legends Mobile, playing as a certain legend nets you points towards unlocking unique perks for them, allowing you to further customize a character to fit your ideal playstyle. You can make the speed demon Octane even more difficult to catch by equipping the ¡Vámanos! perk, for example, which gives him a speed boost if his armor is ever shattered, or dabble in a riskier playstyle with his Stunt Mode perk, which changes his Stim so it can be toggled on and off--allowing you to maintain your enhanced speed at the cost of constantly losing health. Each character can only be equipped with three of these perks at a time, and they're divided into categories to prevent any unfair combinations from forming (at least, from what I've seen). The system adds a welcome complexity to every character in Apex Legends Mobile--none of these perks can fundamentally alter a legend's place in the meta, but they do add fun considerations in every match. Plus, perks ensure you're still feeling a sense of progression and variety even if you're only playing with the same two or three characters. Regarding characters, Apex Legends Mobile starts with a healthy ensemble of 10 (though only a few are unlocked from the get-go). Thankfully you unlock new characters far faster than you can in Apex Legends, so you won't be stuck with the same faces for long. Interestingly, Apex Legends Mobile has an exclusive legend named Fade. Fade is a fun characte and a much-needed addition for Mobile--with no cross-progression or cross-play between this game and Apex Legends, having a strong incentive like a new legend to play ensures Mobile remains a complimentary choice for long-time Apex Legends players. Jumping into this game doesn't feel like simply starting over in the literal same experience, largely for how Fade affects the in-match meta. The only true downside to his inclusion is that he contributes to Apex Legends Mobile's offensive legend overstuffing. This is also an issue in Apex Legends, but is especially egregious in Mobile where half of the starting roster is geared towards attacking other teams (in Apex Legends, only three of the starting legends were offensive characters). The roster is seriously lacking in options for players wanting to focus on defense, recon, or support. Whereas Apex Legends' control scheme is designed in a way to encourage players to use the ping system, Apex Legends Mobile is, at least mechanically, more focused on the fact that players can only play with their thumbs. As such, all inputs need to be condensed so you can play with just two fingers. Apex Legends Mobile implements some smart quality-of-life improvements to streamline the mechanics of its battle royale. The game is never playing for you--victory remains a rewarding result as it is still largely determined by individual skill and a squad's teamwork. Instead, Apex Legends Mobile automates the process of looting deathboxes, for example, quickly grabbing the attachments and ammo that fit your equipped guns. If you want to slowly scroll through a deathbox's contents for grenades, extra healing, or attachments you can't use right now but may want to hold onto for later, you still can, but Apex Legends Mobile speeds up that process for anyone who may not be dextrous enough to do so in the midst of a firefight. Features like this ensure the small amount of real estate available on a smartphone's screen isn't wasted on buttons that may not add as much to the experience as the actual shooting. Though most are aimed at speeding up the looting process, allowing you to get back to the fight as quickly as possible, a few exist on the combat side, as well. For instance, you automatically aim down sights when shooting, removing the hassle of needing to press and hold down an additional button while trying to hit a target that's further away. Playing on the screen is still not an ideal setup--this is a fast-paced shooter after all, and a touchscreen just isn't as responsive as a good ol' fashioned gamepad. Plus, even on a substantially sized phone screen (I play on a Samsung Galaxy S10), I still accidentally fire my gun on occasion when I only mean to look around--everything is just so close together that if my thumb drifts even a little, I accidentally pull the trigger. And if my teammates' habit of randomly firing into the air or at a wall where there is no enemy is any indication, I'm not the only one accidentally doing this. In a game like Apex Legends Mobile, where conserving your ammo is crucial and ensuring enemies you're sneaking up on can't hear you, shooting when you don't mean to is frustrating. Support for every gamepad controller and handheld attachment isn't available at launch, but Respawn says full support is coming eventually. Like the Switch version of Apex Legends, Apex Legends Mobile compromises on graphical detail, draw distance, and the speed at which assets are loaded in order to run on Android and iOS devices. This means long-range precision weapons are harder to use (especially with touchscreen controls), which unfortunately favors the meta towards needing automatic and semi-automatic firearms in order to win. Regular frame rate issues also persist, often dipping when you're redeploying, bouncing off a jump pad, or traveling on a zipline. Apex Legends Mobile can also stutter if multiple squads are fighting within the same enclosed space. Unlike the Switch version, Apex Legends Mobile does not support cross-play with the Xbox, PlayStation, and PC versions of Apex Legends, so these technical issues aren't as drastic a problem. However, these issues are annoying whenever they pop up (brief as they may be) and become frustrating when the result is a missed shot or poorly timed dodge. Overall, Apex Legends Mobile is exactly what's being advertised: This is Apex Legends, but on mobile devices. This means Respawn has made some serious concessions to its battle royale in order to make the whole thing work, especially when it comes to visuals and performance. And not all of the new additions to the formula, like Team Deathmatch, add anything compelling.

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

  15. Turtles are always close to the surface in the sea. Therefore, they could be the key to the timely prediction of strong storms in Asia. Artificial satellites are no longer enough. Faced with the ecological pressure that the climate crisis is imposing on the planet, human devices in space are proving not to have sufficient capacity to predict the damage that some severe weather events can have on Asia. And what's more: scientists who monitor hurricanes, tropical storms and other similar events are failing to identify where they form. Therefore, a team of scientists decided to look back at nature. From the conservation of turtles, they realized that those who have trackers can identify tropical storms in early stages. We suggest: What are bomb cyclones, another consequence of climate change See the birth of storms from the sea According to a study recently published in Hakai Magazine, the strength of tropical storms comes from the water. For this reason, the turtles that inhabit the Indian Ocean are ideal for predicting their birth and observing their development. As they swim close to the surface of the sea, from 25 to 200 meters deep, they can identify the temperature and conditions of the most superficial layer of the oceans. This alternative was born from a study conducted by Olivier Bousquet, director of research at the French Ministry of Sustainable Development. In the absence of information on climatic conditions in the Southwest Indian Ocean, he teamed up with biologists at Kélonia, a sea turtle observatory on Réunion, a French island about 950 kilometers east of Madagascar. Researchers knew that turtles spend a lot of time feeding in storms and giant whirlpools. According to Bousquet, the information collected based on the movement of the turtles would provide unprecedented data on how the structure of the oceans changes over time. We suggest: Injured by boats and fishing nets, a leatherback turtle dies off the coast of Spain The new sentinels of the climate crisis In 2019, the team of researchers released 15 tracker-tagged turtles to monitor conditions in this area. That's how the researchers realized that "tagged turtles could help climate studies by giving scientists a way to calibrate ocean models and satellite data," as documented by Smithsonian Magazine. WITH THIS STEP, THE BIOLOGISTS WERE EXCITED THAT THEY WOULD KNOW FIRST-HAND THE TEMPERATURE, DEPTH AND LOCATION OF THEIR MARINE ENVIRONMENTS. AND WHAT'S MORE: THEY COULD BETTER KNOW THE DIVING BEHAVIOR AND OTHER TYPICAL MOVEMENTS OF TURTLES, EVEN WHEN THERE ARE NO STORMS. Over time, the turtles fed the satellites 20 to 50 times a day with new information. Just as Bousquet expected. However, the movement stopped dead in its tracks. When investigating individual cases, the team realized that some of the specimens were trapped in fishing nets. "We were shocked," laments Bousquet. Despite the tragedy, the three-week voyage of some of them had produced an unprecedented amount of oceanographic information. But Ilona's three-week trip had produced a great deal of data. Despite the losses, researchers at the French National Center for Space Studies want to replicate the success of this project. For which, STORM: Sea Turtles for Ocean Research and Monitoring was designed. Other institutions, such as the Interreg ocean research program of the European Union and the University of Reunion Island, are joining these conservation efforts, so that the model can be replicated in other areas of the world —if industrial fishing allows it, Sure. https://www.ngenespanol.com/animales/las-tortugas-contribuyen-a-la-prediccion-de-tormentas-fuertes-en-asia/
  16. The 316bhp Tiguan R might be the most exciting addition to Volkswagen's newly facelifted and hugely successful family SUV line, but this here e-Hybrid model is arguably the most significant. The reasoning behind this is simple, really: it’s a plug-in hybrid. So it should offer the sorts of fleet manager-friendly CO2 ratings that make PHEVs a tempting business choice, while also affording private buyers who are able to regularly charge its 13kWh battery flexibility and lower running costs. That powertrain is the same as you will find in the likes of the Volkswagen Passat GTE and Skoda Superb iV. It’s based around a turbocharged 1.4-litre four-pot petrol engine, which is mated to an electric drive motor and a six-speed dual-clutch automatic gearbox. Combined, these elements make for a system output of 242bhp and 295lb ft, all of which is deployed to the road via the front axle. Select E-Mode to run solely on electricity and, on a full charge, you will be good to travel about 31 miles or so. And once you run out, you can hook up to a 3.5kW wallbox to charge the battery again in just over three and a half hours. What's it like? That’s all grand, but there are of course a few penalties that arise from opting for a Tiguan with a plug socket. The drive battery is rather large, so the fuel tank has been moved to the boot floor. You’ll lose 139 litres of boot capacity as a result, leaving you with 476 litres. The battery itself also adds 135kg of weight. But anyway, it remains an impressively civilised machine to drive. Let the electric motor take charge of proceedings and you will find adequate thrust and a keen throttle response on offer at lower speeds, all of which is accompanied by a subtle whirring that could sound like a high-pitched Subaru boxer to someone with a very active imagination. As you roll out of town and decide to bury your foot a little deeper into the pedal’s travel, the manner in which the petrol engine then sparks into life and pitches in is pretty seamless, too. It’s a slick, refined powertrain this, and one that doesn’t really seem to run out of punch unless you purposely spin the engine’s revs right up to the redline. However, if you choose to engage GTE mode and absolutely nail the accelerator, you will notice a few things. First is a rather dramatic rearward weight transfer that makes the already quite light steering go a wee bit lighter; and second is a tendency for the car to tug from left to right ever so slightly as it deploys its power to the road. But really, these are fairly minor complaints, because the Tiguan quickly composes itself and the performance it then conjures is surprisingly potent. You won’t have too much trouble performing overtakes, that’s for sure. Its handling isn’t what you would call sporting but is entirely agreeable nonetheless. It changes direction keenly and accurately enough, with a bit of body roll and squealing of tyres if you find yourself barreling into a corner a bit too enthusiastically. Grip doesn’t feel drastically short either, but if you’re apeish with your inputs, you will set the traction control light flashing. The ride is pretty good, too. Its vertical body control over long-wave inputs is decent and the few bumps we could find on our test route were smoothed over in a decidedly nonplussed fashion. Should I buy one? Really, it’s quite easy to see how the Tiguan eHybrid would fit into your life as a pleasant, totally inoffensive family runabout. It’s punchy enough, economical and has a suitably plush cabin that could easily seat four tall adults in plenty of comfort - or two adults and three children, for that matter. Prices for the Tiguan eHybrid are yet to be announced, but a figure around £38,000 seems like a reasonable guess to me.
