One of the most remarkable things about this Resident Evil 2 remake is that it makes zombies—the slow, shambling, groaning kind—exciting again. The undead in this game are incredible, horrible things: shuffling lumps of bloody meat who batter down doors, tumble through broken windows, and lunge hungrily from the shadows. They're physical and clumsy and an absolute joy to kill—if you have the ammunition to spare. Shoot a leg off and they keep coming, dragging themselves along the floor, reaching at you with pale, clawing hands. Turn a corner, and as your flashlight beam catches their glassy white eyes they screech and trudge towards you, arms outstretched, jaws slung with glistening blood. They don't sprint or explode or sprout thrashing parasites like they do in newer Resident Evil games. They just moan and lurch and grab, and there's something enjoyably back-to-basics about that—a feeling that echoes through every claustrophobic hallway of this confident remake. After the subversive, rule-breaking Resident Evil 7, with its grimy Southern Gothic aesthetic and intimate first-person horror, Resident Evil 2 is a return to a more familiar style of game. It's a remake, but it's never a slave to the source material, adding or cleverly remixing enough elements to make it feel brand new. You can still play as two characters—Leon S. Kennedy and Claire Redfield—and a few fan favourite bosses and locations have been recreated. But even moments of fan service are given some kind of interesting twist or fresh angle, which is, honestly, not what I expected from this remake at all. The grand, imposing Raccoon City Police Department was always a great setting, but the shift to three dimensions makes it magnificent. While the original game relied on fixed camera angles and the distant moan of unseen zombies to build fear, the remake uses light, shadow, and layout to get under your skin. Some parts of the station have been plunged into darkness, forcing you to pick through the gloom with a flashlight. The building itself is a labyrinth of blind corners, shadowy recesses, and warren-like corridors, creating a constant feeling of apprehension and unease. The station is essentially a giant box of puzzles, and an absence of objective markers, beyond a few marked points of interest, means you have to draft a mental map as you play. At first most of the building is locked up tight, or obstacles such as the burning wreck of a crashed helicopter block the way forward. But as you explore you find items that let you delve deeper, and slowly but surely the maze of halls, offices, atriums, and stairwells starts to feel familiar. I also like how dead zombies stay put, even after reloading a save, as I'd often use their corpses as a kind of macabre breadcrumb trail. But navigating the station and deciphering its many riddles and puzzles is only half the battle. The zombies, as much fun as they are to scrap with, can take a hell of a beating. Their health seems to be randomised, meaning that you can empty ten bullets into one and it'll keep crawling after you, while another will be put down permanently by just a few shots. And whichever dice roll governs the chance of an explosive headshot is weirdly stingy. This makes the zombies unpredictable and tenacious, as zombies should rightly be. But it also teaches you a hard lesson that every bullet in this remake is precious, and if you can slip past an enemy rather than killing it, you probably should. Then there's the Tyrant, a hulking great mutant in a trench coat (and a hat, which you can shoot off) for whom gunfire is little more than a minor inconvenience. At certain points in the game this merciless, invincible killing machine will hunt you around the station with grim persistence. You can track his movements by listening to the heavy thud of his footsteps, but other than blinding him with a flashbang, evasion is your only real option. He's also attracted to gunfire, which adds further weight to decisions involving fighting regular zombies. Do you waste ammo and risk alerting the Tyrant? The way he walks slowly towards you, unflinching and emotionless, is genuinely unsettling—especially when he suddenly appears at the end of a long corridor. And he's always lurking near items you need to progress, which is brilliantly cruel. But I would have liked more ways to interact with him, because eventually these run-ins start to feel rather one-note, and the fear can mutate into frustration. Even the ability to throw something to distract him would have made these sections more interesting, but as it stands the concept feels underdeveloped. Similar to Resident Evil 4, the difficulty of the game adapts as you play. How it actually works is obscured, but whatever's going on behind the scenes, the balancing is quite masterful. For the entire nine hours it took me to finish my first run as Leon, I felt constantly on the verge of catastrophic failure. I always had a handful of bullets, little or no health items, and I kept wondering if I'd backed myself into an inescapable rut. But I'd always scrape through, and it's hugely impressive how the game managed to maintain this knife-edge tension from start to finish. The good news is that if you sacrifice ammo to clear an area, it'll stay clear. More zombies can spill through open windows, but you can block these up with wooden boards. This gives you some breathing room, especially when you're being chased by the Tyrant. The last thing you need is zombies clawing at you when you're trying to run to safety. Counter-weapons can also tip the balance. If you have a grenade or a combat knife in your inventory and something grabs you while you're low on health, you'll avoid death: stabbing them with the blade or shoving a grenade in their mouth. So the game isn't completely relentless in its attempts to sabotage you, but for every inch it gives you, it rudely snatches one right back. It's never really that scary, though. Unnerving, tense, and sometimes overwhelmingly stressful, sure, but there's nothing particularly understated or psychological about it. But that was always Resident Evil's thing: zombie dogs crashing loudly through windows rather than the psycho-sexual mind-beasts of Silent Hill. Still, Resident Evil 7 had some effectively surreal, eerie moments, and I would have liked some of that to make its way into this remake. If you can't deal with the stress, there is an 'assisted' difficulty option that adds generous auto-aim and makes a small amount of health regenerate automatically. But, honestly, the game just isn't very exciting when your item box is heaving with an abundance of spare shotgun shells and healing herbs. When you finish your first playthrough, you've really only seen half of what the game has to offer. The second uses the same locations and has many of the same story beats, but the puzzles are different, enemy types and locations are mixed up, and you take a different route through each of the game's three major locations. What I love about this so-called 'B' scenario is how the game uses your knowledge of the setting against you. Walking into the RPD main hall as Claire, a protected haven for Leon, and seeing zombies in there was a fun subversion. It's just a shame the intensity of the Tyrant is amped up to such a preposterous degree. He's constantly looming over your shoulder, which I ultimately found a bit annoying. As a longtime fan of the original Resident Evil 2, I enjoyed the remake's many self-aware attempts to clarify some of the more abstract stuff in the game—such as why a sewer system is powered by plugs shaped like chess pieces, or why a police station would inexplicably theme its keys and locks around playing card suits. There are other cute references to the old games to find as well, but they're pretty subtle and don't feel forced. This could have easily been a game targeted squarely at diehard fans, but if this is your first Resident Evil you could get your head around everything in minutes—another example of how refreshingly simple the remake is. The story is really no more complicated than: zombies everywhere, get to safety. Which makes even the relatively pared-down narrative of Resident Evil 7 seem overly complex. Some of the voice acting and writing are pretty bad, and not 'fun bad' like in the old PlayStation games: just regular bad. The second act, which takes place in a dingy sewer, slows the action down to a crawl. And I was glad when the section where you play as Ada Wong, solving hacking puzzles while the Tyrant stalks you, was over. But otherwise, this is pretty much the ultimate refinement of the classic Resident Evil formula—but with the added intensity of RE4's slick, dynamic over-the-shoulder combat. The result is a game that is comfortably among the best in the series, and a thrilling survival horror experience in its own right. It's not as surprising as RE7, but as an evolution, and a celebration, of vintage Resident Evil, you couldn't ask for much more.

A great effort must be made to invest in energy efficiency, the use of clean energy and the promotion of the circular economy, both in hotel establishments and in destinations At the beginning of the year, the INE reported that the tourism sector, as a result of the pandemic, had lost its weight in GDP to 5.5% in 2020 compared to 12.4% in 2019. This trend has been reversed in the 2021 The fabulous vaccination campaign, the anticovid protocols, the savings stored during the hardest months of the pandemic and the global economic recovery have allowed the sector to recover a good part of its weight in GDP. This trend is expected to continue this year as a more intense arrival of international travelers is added to the recovery of national tourism. If so, it is expected that the tourism sector will represent around 10% of GDP this year, a trend that could be reinforced in 2023. This high weight of tourism in GDP is consubstantial to Spain due to its climatic conditions and its wealth of heritage. But beyond the debate about what should be the optimal size of the tourism sector in the midst of this commitment to the reindustrialization of European economies in order to make it more resistant to external shocks such as the recent pandemic, the reality is that a reconfiguration of the The tourism industry would already make a very important contribution to both the resilience of the sector and the economy in general. A reconfiguration that is already designed by the Government of Spain and that can receive a strong boost from European funds. In essence, the change implies adapting the industry to a new scenario where the motivations of travellers, increasingly aware of the protection of the environment and the fight against climate change, and increasingly eager for tourism experiences and knowledge, must be fully satisfied. Carrying out this adaptation process successfully requires a powerful use of new technologies. In this sense, a great effort must be made to invest in energy efficiency, the use of clean energy and the promotion of the circular economy, both in hotel establishments and in destinations, as well as in the care of nature in our environments. More than an added value to the tourist offer, we are talking about an inexcusable condition: given the growing pressure of demand on natural resources and destinations, and the consequent saturation and environmental degradation of certain spaces, or we face the problem of sustainability with determination or we will put at risk the viability of the tourism model and its contribution to the economic and social development of the country. On the other hand, it is necessary to spread our cultural heritage while always preserving its identity as a differentiating element. To make it attractive, it is necessary to integrate physical and virtual elements with new technologies to strengthen the exhibition discourse and offer higher quality products, tailored to the needs of visitors, so that their experience is as unique and complete as possible. . Obtaining quality data and managing it effectively will be essential to be able to develop these necessary products, above all, to promote rural and inland tourism. If we are successful in this adaptation, we will achieve an industry profile that is more committed to the green transition, more diversified and decentralized. This will not only promote the sustainability of the sector, with spaces less saturated and better distributed throughout the country, but above all, it will improve the quality of the contribution of the tourism sector to the Spanish economy in various ways: making coexistence of the tourism with the citizen; breaking the marked seasonality of the sector; creating new business models and higher quality jobs; and distributing in a fairer and more equitable way the benefits that visitors bring both throughout the territory and throughout the entire network of actors who dedicate their lives to inspiring and working for the high tourism values of the Spain brand.

BY JAY REEVES, Associated Press HALEYVILLE, Ala. (AP) — Tending a thrift store that displays a faded Trump flag in a nearly all-white Alabama county with a long history of going against the grain, Dwight Owensby is among the area's many skeptics of the COVID-19 vaccine Owensby, 77, said he doesn't often watch TV news or read the local paper, and he doesn't spend much time talking about the pandemic with others — it's just not a big topic in this rural, heavily forested part of the state. But he suspects the coronavirus pandemic was planned, as a discredited conspiracy theory holds, and he said there's no way he's getting any shot. “If it’s your time to go, you’re going to go. If it ain’t, it ain’t gonna bother you,” Owensby said. He isn’t alone in Winston County, which ranks last in terms of people who have been fully vaccinated in a state that has the country's lowest vaccination rate, according to federal statistics. To many here, the pandemic isn’t much of a concern. Businesses are open and relatively few people wear masks, even though Alabama’s rule requiring them to be worn in public wasn't scheduled to end until Friday. A Union stronghold where some pushed for secession from pro-slavery Alabama during the Civil War, Winston County is a prime example of a problem that health officials say they’ll have to overcome to end the pandemic: Many white conservatives such as Owensby aren’t lining up quickly enough for vaccines. The 25% of Americans who say they probably or definitely won’t get vaccinated tend to be Republican, according to a poll from The Associated Press-NORC Center for Public Affairs Research, and then-President Donald Trump carried 90% of the vote last year in Winston County, which was his highest margin in Alabama. The county’s po[CENSORED]tion of roughly 23,700 is 96% white, and many work in small manufacturing plants. More than 2,700 people have contracted COVID-19 in Winston County, putting it in the middle of the pack statewide, and 71 have died of the disease. Yet only 7.3% of the county’s residents, or about 1,730 people, had been fully vaccinated as of Thursday. That’s about one-third of the percentage in Alabama’s leading vaccination counties, which tend to be heavily Black and vote Democratic. As Winston County's sheriff and the publisher of the local newspaper, the Northwest Alabamian, which has covered the pandemic and vaccination effort closely, Horace Moore has a unique perspective. Whereas he and many of the paper's workers have gotten shots, Moore doesn't know of a single colleague on the sheriff's office's 33-person staff who has gotten one. “I wish they’d get it, but I’m the only one,” he said. Moore is baffled by the reluctance, which a poll commissioned by the state health agency in March showed isn’t unique to Winston County, which is about 65 miles (105 kilometers) northwest of Birmingham. It found that about half Alabama’s residents were either somewhat or very unwilling to be vaccinated. Skepticism cut across racial and ethnic lines in the poll, but a pattern is obvious: Both large and small, urban and rural, the counties with the state’s lowest immunization rates all have mostly white po[CENSORED]tions, and Trump carried all but one by wide margins in November. By contrast, counties with the highest vaccination rates are more likely to have large Black po[CENSORED]tions that favored Democratic President Joe Biden. The differences may reflect the politicization of the pandemic since its outset, with Trump repeatedly downplaying the virus' threat, at least early on, and Republican-led states pushing more aggressively to lift mask orders and restrictions meant to slow its spread. While state-funded public outreach and National Guard-run vaccine clinics have helped boost immunizations in mostly Black areas of Alabama, officials are trying to figure out how to increase them among rural white people who think shots are more dangerous than COVID-19, which has killed more than half a million Americans. “I would say we are struggling a little bit with how to develop a message to reach that group. It’s not clear what the most effective strategy would be to reach them,” said Dr. Scott Harris, head of the Alabama Department of Public Health. In Winston County — known as the “Free State of Winston” for its anti-Confederate tendencies during the Civil War — some say vaccine supply is more of a problem than vaccine reluctance. Lakeland Community Hospital in Haleyville said it has immunized more than 2,000 people and is awaiting additional doses. “Our only hurdle so far has been vaccine availability,” CEO Ashley Poole said in an email. Down the street from the hospital, a worker at a Walmart store was vaccinating people as quickly as she could on Monday, the first day Alabama expanded eligibility to everyone age 16 or older. Doctors at nearby Family Medical Associates often encourage patients to be vaccinated, but demand isn’t universal, said office manager Vijaya Reddy. “Some people want to take it and some do not,” she said. That description fits Sharon Harris and Kristie Mobley, co-workers at a rural convenience store. Harris already has had both her shots, and she wasn't nervous about getting either. “I was glad to,” she said. Mobley is among the leery, however. Her fiancé has gotten a shot, she’s helped others find vaccination appointments, and she knows people who had to go on ventilators after contracting COVID-19, but Mobley is waiting. She wants to see whether others suffer long-term side effects from vaccines, which officials say are extremely unlikely. “I’m just going to wait and make sure you don’t grow a third eyeball or something,” she said. ___ Associated Press writer Kim Chandler in Montgomery contributed to this report.

Equip a sailor with a breathing apparatus and they can enter flooded sections of the boat to repair the damage, and hopefully salvage at least some of the wet cheese. That pregnant, half-minute pause between launching a torpedo and seeing it connect with its target is as thrilling as always. It’s by far the best bit of any submarine game, as a hush of anticipation descends on the crew – like they’re waiting for the Eurovision results – and the sonar guy gravely counts down the seconds until impact. Then an almighty kabloom, and on the pitch-dark horizon a hot orange fireball illuminates a rising plume of thick smoke. You did it. Hundreds of British sailors are dead and burning, or singed and drowning in the English Channel. That’s one in the eye for Churchill, and one step closer to victory for the Nazis. Or if you’d prefer not to alter the course of history, just do as I did and get jammed sideways in a harbour on your third mission, while attempting an elaborate 47-point turn to extricate yourself from a narrow dock. All that it takes to defeat fascism is for incompetent men to get their dumb submarines stuck in a bit of the scenery for absolutely ages.

Lion famous for his gnarly face and exceptional mane was celebrated for long reign at top of many prides. It is seldom a death at 14 is celebrated with awe, but for conservationists, the passing of Scarface of natural causes marked a remarkable end for the most famous lion in the world. “With its death, the Mara has lost yet another iconic lion,” said the Nation newspaper, with the Kenyan Wildlife Service reporting he “died in peace without any disturbance from vehicles or hyenas”. Nicknamed because of the scar about his eye, he became sought after by tourists and conservationists, partly because of his gnarly face and exceptional mane but also because of his long reign at the top of many prides. The Scottish wildlife photographer George Logan behind the Born Free Foundation book Pride Before the Fall, described him as the “rockstar of the Mara”. “Lions are lucky to get to 15. For the previous week, we’d been receiving messages, photos and videos from Kenya, showing Scar obviously struggling and nearing the end. “It’s quite rare for a wild lion to die peacefully and of natural causes, but thankfully and fittingly, this is what has happened for Scar. He lived wild and free right to the end, in the land of his birth,” he said. Most male lions last two or three years as the king of the pride and are killed by rivals or become weak from their battle injuries and set upon by hyenas. But not Scarface. “Even near the end, he defied logic by dragging himself 25km back in the direction of his original territory, near to where he was born. We feared the worst when we saw him in close proximity to the Salas males [lions], a trio of the most ferocious young males in the Mara, but they respectfully let him be, even when he defiantly snarled at them,” said Logan. Scarface was the second surviving member of one of four male lions known as “the four musketeers coalition” because of their long domination over a variety of prides. “He had this exceptionally big mane, which apparently makes lions more attractive to females. He was quite unique and stayed at the top so long with this crazy appearance and big personality. I would say he was the most famous lion in the world,” said Logan, who is part of a campaign to protect the remaining lion po[CENSORED]tion which has gone from 100,000 in the 1960s to just 20,000. He says the pandemic and disruption to tourism has devastated funding of conservation efforts with revenue that pays for rangers and anti-poaching patrols completely “eroded”.

The affected person, asymptomatic and who according to Barça has not had contact with the players who will play the Champions League, is one of the nine players who started the preseason today The Football Club Barcelona has reported this Wednesday of the existence of a positive for Covid-19 in the group of nine players who today should start the preseason: the new incorporations (Trincao, Pedri and Matheus Fernandes), in addition to Todibo, Wagué, Aleñá , Rafinha, Miranda and Oriol Busquets, who were returning from their respective assignments. All of them are players who will not be part of the expedition that will head to Lisbon this Thursday, where Barça will face Bayern one day later in the quarterfinals of the Champions League. According to Barcelona, the affected footballer, who underwent PCR tests on Tuesday afternoon and has already been isolated, has not been in contact with the members of the first team that will play the continental competition. The Barça club, in any case, maintains that people who may have had some contact with the positive have already been traced so that they are subjected to PCR tests. The members of the Barcelona A-list squad who will play the final eight of the Champions League will go through a new test, already in Lisbon and before the game against the German champions. To date, and in the face of this ghostly return to the Champions League, only Atlético had to report two positives (Correa and Vrsaljko), who will cause loss in this Wednesday's duel against Atalanta.

Two women with incurable breast cancer whose lives were "flipped upside down" by the diagnosis have set up a group to offer hope to others. Nicky Newman and Laura Middleton-Hughes, both 31, have stage four cancer that has spread around their bodies. When Nicky, from Guildford, was told her secondary cancer was incurable, she said it sent her into a "blind panic". The pair said they hoped their online community, Secondary Sisters, would help others facing such difficult news. Laura, from Norwich, said it had given them both a "positive, therapeutic, way of talking about our cancer". "We both potentially face a very bumpy future, but we do have a future and we are going to live it," she said. "And if we can help even one person feel better about themselves and like they are part of a community, that's amazing." Both women are supporting Stand Up To Cancer, a joint fundraising campaign from Cancer Research UK and Channel 4. Nicky and her husband Alex were undergoing IVF treatment when she found a lump in her breast. She said even before cancer was mentioned she could "see it in the doctor's face". During tests, she mentioned back pains, so was referred for specialist imaging. "The surgeon said to me: 'I'm really sorry, there's nothing I can do'. It sent me into a blind panic," she said. However, she was given a drug called Palbociclib, which had only just been approved for NHS use. "If it hadn't, my prognosis would have been very different," Nicky said. What is secondary breast cancer? In stage four breast cancer, the breast cancer cells have spread to other parts of the body, such as the bones, lungs, liver or brain. It is also called advanced cancer, secondary breast cancer, or metastatic breast cancer. The cancer is not curable at this point but may be controlled with treatment for some years. Possible treatments include hormone therapy, chemotherapy, targeted drug therapy and radiotherapy. Source: Cancer Research UK Treatment may have halted the spread of the disease but it has robbed both women of the chance to have children. Nicky said when she left hospital, she was "grieving more for the fact that I had lost my chance to be a mother than because I had cancer". Breast cancer: Genetic screening for all call Sisters find out why breast cancer plagues family 'Cancer treatment broke my heart, but I've survived' Laura was diagnosed with breast cancer in 2014 after finding a lump while on holiday. She underwent a mastectomy and chemotherapy and recovered well. But in April 2016, pain in Laura's right shoulder got steadily worse and she was referred for a scan. A tumour had overtaken the head of the humerus - the bone in the arm between the shoulder and elbow. "It was terrifying, 2016 was a rubbish year, a really rubbish year," she said. Laura has traces of breast cancer in her spine, 12 vertebrae and pelvis but said: "I'm very grateful the treatment I'm having is managing to give me a fairly normal life."

[Auto] Ford recall of 3 million vehicles to cost $610 million
-HuNTeR- posted a topic in Auto / Moto
WASHINGTON -- Ford Motor Co. said Thursday it will recall 3 million vehicles for Takata airbag inflators that could rupture at a cost of $610 million. NHTSA on Tuesday ordered Ford to issue the recall for driver-side airbag inflators, rejecting the automaker's 2017 petition to avoid it. The defect, which in rare instances leads to airbag inflators rupturing and sending potentially deadly metal fragments flying, prompted the largest automotive recall in U.S. history of more than 67 million inflators. Worldwide, about 100 million inflators installed by 19 major automakers have been recalled. The recall includes 2.7 million U.S. vehicles and about 300,000 in Canada and other locations. Ford will include the cost in fourth-quarter results, it said in a regulatory filing. The vehicles were previously recalled for passenger-side inflators. "We believe our extensive data demonstrated that a safety recall was not warranted for the driver-side airbag. However, we respect NHTSA’s decision and will issue a recall," Ford said. NHTSA also required Mazda Motor Corp. to recall 5,800 airbag inflators in 2007–2009 B-Series vehicles. Takata inflators have resulted in at least 400 injuries and 27 deaths worldwide -- including 18 U.S. fatalities with two in previously recalled 2006 Ford Ranger trucks. The Ford vehicles being recalled include various 2006-2012 model-year Ranger, Fusion, Edge, Lincoln Zephyr/MKZ, Mercury Milan and Lincoln MKX vehicles. In November, NHTSA rejected a petition filed by General Motors to avoid recalling 5.9 million U.S. vehicles with Takata airbags. GM said the callback covered 7 million vehicles worldwide and would cost $1.2 billion. Ford separately disclosed Thursday it expects to record a pretax remeasurement loss of $1.5 billion in the fourth quarter related to pension and other post-employment benefits plans, driven by lower discount rates. Ford said the remeasurement loss is expected to reduce net income by about $1.2 billion, but did not change expectations for 2021 pension contributions. Ford shares fell nearly 1 percent to $11.42 in after-hours trading on Wall Street. -
Houston fell again after a consistent attack by Atlanta https://www.el-carabobeno.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/10/Atl-1-696x465.png With great pitching, which resulted in a No-hitter for seven innings, the Atlanta Braves shut out the Houston Astros 2-0 to lead the World Series (2-1). Atlanta took advantage of a blunder by Venezuelan Luis Garcia to go ahead with a hairline in the third inning, pushed by Austin Riley. Ian Anderson, on the other hand, was pitching a 5.0-inning gem without even allowing any concessions. And his superb performance was emulated by A.J Minter and Luke Jackson to preserve the no-hitter or game. Houston barely hit his first hit in the eighth inning and that wasn't enough to hit the plate. Travis D’Arnaud hit a solo homer at the end of the eighth inning off Kendall Graveman to dismiss any stark hopes. Will Smith climbed the mound after that and got the last three ous of the match to score the save. Anderson was left with the victory and the setback went to Garcia's account, who finished with three innings and two-thirds of a run, four walks and six strikeouts. The fourth game of the series will be played this Saturday in Atlanta, where the Astros will have to go with all the heavy machinery to be able to compete and not lag behind in this World Series.

KOLKATA: Leading smartphone maker Realme is aspiring to become a technology-driven lifestyle brand and will introduce new products in this segment, an official said on Friday. "We want to be known as a technology lifestyle company. We already have some products in the internet of things (IoT) and smart living space and will introduce multiple items in this segment," Realme India CEO Madhav Sheth said at the launch of new X7 series 5G handsets here. The company will also roll out affordable 5G handsets in future, he said. Speaking about disruptions in the market due to COVID-19, Sheth said the supply chain has normalised and demand is back to normal. The company had said 2020 was a "phenomenal year" for it. Realme clocked a 25 per cent growth in smartphone sales at about 19 million units even a quarter was lost due to the COVID-19 pandemic. "I think the minimum would be nothing less than 25-30 million handsets, that's what we are targeting for 2021," he said, adding that offline sales account for about 40 per cent. The smartphone maker is planning to add 500 new outlets under both franchisee and company-operated models.

The latest leak of secret Pentagon documents that include classified intelligence on the war between Ukraine and Russia, as well as on China and US allies such as Israel, South Korea and Canada, is one more in a long line of leaks that have had political and diplomatic repercussions in the world. Past revelations have cast doubt on US military campaigns, embarrassed several White House occupants, prompted the resignation of a president and created tensions with other countries and leaders. To this must be added the reaction of the public to see the activities of the government in the exercise of its internal and foreign policy naked. Experts say Jack Teixeira, the young military cyberspecialist suspected of leaking the latest confidential US documents, could serve a long prison sentence if convicted of participating in what the Pentagon has deemed a national security risk. "very serious". Teixeira faces charges under the Espionage Act, a federal law enacted in 1917 that formed the basis for previous convictions of spies and those who shared classified information with the press and the public. However, not in all cases there has been a conviction against those responsible for the leaks. Some have even been classified as "heroes" for having dared and risked exposing the -sometimes questionable- secret activity of the State. Here we remember four of the great and historic leaks that shook the United States. Line The Pentagon Papers In 1971, a man leaked thousands of pages of secret US government documents to various newspapers, including The New York Times and The Washington Post. The documents became known as the Pentagon Papers, a study of US military and political involvement in Vietnam, between 1945 and 1967, conducted by the US Department of Defense. The more than 7,000 pages of the secret study revealed that the government knew, from the beginning, that the war in Vietnam was unlikely to be won and that continuing it would only lead to more casualties. They also pointed out that the previous administration of Lyndon Johnson had lied to Congress and the American people about the status of their country's involvement in Vietnam. When The New York Times first reported on the matter, the administration of then-President Richard Nixon sought an injunction to stop any more documents from being released and launched a manhunt for the person responsible for the leak. But the Supreme Court of Justice ruled that the publication was justified and the reporting resumed. Two days before that ruling, the person responsible for the leak, Daniel Ellsberg, publicly acknowledged his role. A disenchanted military analyst Ellsberg was a military analyst who participated in the preparation of the secret study on the Vietnam War, commissioned by the Pentagon to the RAND Corporation, an independent analysis center for which he worked. Previously, he had been a Pentagon employee since 1964, under Secretary of Defense Robert McNamara (one of then-President John Kennedy's main foreign policy ideologues) and was in Vietnam for two years, representing the State Department. Upon his return in 1967, he began working again for RAND, with whom he had already been employed in the late 1950s. Ellsberg became disenchanted with US foreign policy and began attending antiwar rallies. So, in late 1969, he made several photocopies of the classified documents he had access to for distribution to the press. https://www.bbc.com/mundo/noticias-internacional-65276952
