​Factors influencing price escalation

The rise in prices in most European countries is attributed to various factors, including the rise in gas prices on international markets. This fuel is used in combined cycle plants and has a significant impact on determining market prices during most hours of the day. In addition, the increase in the value of carbon dioxide (CO2) emission rights also contributes to this situation.

Three appliances that raise your electricity bill

When we buy new electrical appliances, it is important to take into account three fundamental aspects: their energy efficiency, using them correctly (some even have saving modes) and making sure that their consumption adapts to our electricity bill. However, there are some appliances that generally consume more electricity than others.

The dishwasher, although it is not an appliance present in all homes, is one of those that requires the highest light consumption. According to OCU calculations, it can consume up to 246 kWh per year, which represents approximately 7% of total energy consumption and translates into up to 74 additional euros on the annual electricity bill. The same happens with the washing machine, which can consume up to 255 kWh per year, that is, an extra 77 euros on the annual bill. Lastly, and logically, the refrigerator, which has an average consumption of 662 kWh per year, which means an increase of approximately 199 euros in the annual rate in the case of the PVPC.

Why does the price of electricity vary in each time slot?

Electricity bill prices are flexible and linked to the wholesale electricity market. For this reason, the price of electricity in each hourly period is determined based on the demand for energy at that time, which gives rise to a constant variation in the cost of electricity throughout the day.

For example, during periods of high demand due to extreme cold temperatures for heating or extreme heat for air conditioners, prices tend to rise. In addition, it is important to consider that the expenses associated with adjustment services, charges, capacity payments, marketing, expenses and the price for interruptibility, among others, can vary the price from one hour to another. With the entry into force in January 2024 of the new calculation methodology for the new regulated electricity tariff, it is expected to give more stability to the electricity market.

The Iberian exception

The so-called ‘Iberian exception’ has been extended until December 31, after the agreement reached by Spain and Portugal with the European Commission. Thus, it is extended for seven months, until the end of this year, and it is not excluded that it could be extended for a longer time if said framework is also extended.

Specifically, the agreement not only represents an extension of the Iberian exception that has already been applied, but also implies some adjustments to accommodate it, such as the price reference, which until now increased by five euros per month, and will now be softer.

In the original agreement, the aforementioned reference price for gas had an average value of 48.8 euros/MWh: it was 40 euros/MWh for six months, rising 5 euros/MWh every month thereafter. Now, it will increase by 1.1 euros/MWh from last April, to conclude at 65 euros/MWh.

Currently, the Mechanism has had no effect on the Marginal Matching Processes in the Wholesale Markets at the end of February, due to the drop in the price of Natu Natural Gas below the thresholds set for its application, but, if necessary, the extension It will allow maintaining a reasonable price, not so dependent on the evolution of natural gas.

New beauty spaces, as well as cleansing and toning treatments – in our regular selection

A new BTL Embody device for neuromuscular stimulation has appeared at Millefeu in Khamovniki – a real find for those who do not have enough workload in the gym. One procedure is equal to five active workouts, which means it works to sculpt the body and maintain muscle tone. The effect is created due to electromagnetic stimulation of neurons in muscle fibers. But the main advantage of the procedure is a proven result, confirmed by 13 clinical studies (FDA, CE, IRB). It is also suitable for rehabilitation after injuries and illnesses.

Since I work out regularly, it was interesting to see what the effect would be after five additional workouts (read: one treatment session). The pain in the muscles, of course, is difficult to surprise me, but it is quite possible to give new sensations, even if at first it is not always pleasant. BTL Embody is a great and useful thing that will also improve the quality of the body with regular use (along with a clean diet and your favorite sport). The effect of the procedure is cumulative. Knowing this, the next day I did a hot rod – my quads were delighted!

Another “Culture” opened its doors, now at the “Red Gate” (the other two spaces in Moscow are located near the “Belorusskaya” and “Sportivnaya” metro stations). White walls with geometric tiles, transparent cabinets with red gradient, stone hall and, most importantly, lots of natural light. As in other branches, haircuts, coloring, as well as care, such as K18 and Davines Naturaltech, are carried out in the salon.

Recently, I try to be careful when choosing a hairdresser. Six months ago, due to an unsuccessful lightening, my hair began to break and became shorter. In order not to aggravate the situation, I stopped painting them, but this was not enough. Based on recommendations, I signed up for Davines Naturaltech care at Kultura. Master Diana explained in detail what to do in my case and how to restore a healthy appearance to my hair. The treatment was like a spa. Massaging the head, the master alternately applied various nutrients. Then he dried and twisted voluminous curls on the brush (in moderation, I don’t like when they are twisted). I have to admit, he looked great. Hair after the procedure came to life – soft, smooth and still shiny. Why I didn’t get there earlier, I don’t know. Now I will make it a rule: periodically visit the care, and only in the “Culture”.

The Pores Control procedure aims to cleanse and eliminate oily shine and blackheads. It consists of several stages: ultrasonic cleaning, peeling, soothing mask + final active care. Everything is done on the basis of G-derm cosmetics.

Initially, I signed up for a new product – the TFO author’s massage (it was recommended to me by colleagues, I pass the baton of recommendations to it). But the beautician, after observing the condition of the skin, suggested a combined Pore Control cleansing. Priorities were set, and then peeling – cleansing – toning and care followed. From the pleasant: the face after cleaning did not look like a battlefield, there was a minimal amount of redness. I also noted for myself the approach of cosmetologists – the willingness to consult, together to choose the care that the skin needs in the first place. And there is very tasty coffee, which is always important.

Studioone specializes in thin gel coatings using acid free materials. As a result, a natural appearance of the nails and a slow growth of the manicure. For design lovers, they offer Korean minimalism or art films.

I am a fan of monophonic manicure, so I did not have to choose the procedure for a long time – I went to cover and model the nails with camouflage gel. It is worth noting that the usual technique of leveling and rubber bases are remembered as a long forgotten period. But I have to admit that a thick coat is the main option for most teachers / studios / salons / salon chains. I was pleasantly surprised that the manicure grows almost imperceptibly. Elegant architecture with a minimum amount of material looks harmoniously in the hands. No old-fashioned stickers, ridiculous drawings and monograms. Great place and service, I will be back again.

The charcoal peeling procedure is designed for combination and oily skin. In the care process, damaged cells are exfoliated, pores are narrowed, and the complexion becomes fresh. Among the main stages are heating of the charcoal lotion, laser exposure and laser skin toning. After the procedure, there is no rehabilitation period, slight redness will disappear within an hour.

I’m not one of those girls who can boast perfect skin after puberty. There were always small rashes on the face. Empirically, it turned out that some appeared due to cow’s milk, which I consumed in large quantities along with coffee; now my cappuccino is only in the alternative. And at the very moment when I was delighted with this discovery, there was an operation under general anesthesia, and after it acne on the right cheek. All attempts to stop the misunderstanding ended in an even greater growth of the problem. So I decided on a series of procedures and got to the Spectra Peel. Of the most important thing – it does not hurt at all (reminiscent of childhood electrophoresis) and there is no rehabilitation period (redness disappears after 15 minutes). After the first session, I can say that the regeneration processes began and I began to look many times fresher. But you will not be beautiful with a walk, so I am preparing for the next visit.

Do children have the right to bathe in the community pool if they are not neighbors?

In the midst of a heat wave in Spain, doubts related to the use of community pools in many urbanizations intensify. Can any child use them without restrictions? What does the regulation say about it? What rights do the neighbors have? How is the safety of the little ones guaranteed? To clarify these issues, we have relied on legal studies and testimonials from property management and community law professionals, as well as current health and safety regulations.

Can a child who is not from the community swim in the pool?

According to the Horizontal Property Law in Spain, the common areas of the urbanization, including the swimming pools, are for the enjoyment of all residents. However, it does not directly specify use by minors.

The communities have autonomy to establish specific rules for the use of their facilities, as long as they do not violate current legislation. Therefore, it is possible that age restrictions, hours and rules of behavior may be established.

Children’s safety first

It is imperative to ensure the safety of all pool users, and children represent a high-risk group. Measures such as adult supervision or the presence of lifeguards may be implemented. In addition, the infrastructure must be safe and comply with health regulations.

Rights and responsibilities of neighbors

All the neighbors have the right to enjoy the pool, but they also have responsibilities. If a child causes damage or disturbance, the parents will be responsible. It is essential that all pool users behave in a respectful and safe manner.

Possible conflicts and solutions

Conflicts can arise if children are seen as disturbing the tranquility of the community. In these cases, it is advisable to seek peaceful and negotiated solutions, possibly with the help of a mediator.

Although the law does not prohibit children from using the community pool, it is essential to guarantee their safety and respect for the rest of the neighbors. Community standards can help establish usage guidelines, as long as the rights and responsibilities of all users are respected.

The IndyCar star is torn in F-1. But Palou can’t be the next Montoya and Villeneuve.

 The IndyCar star is torn in F-1.  But Palou can't be the next Montoya and Villeneuve.

One of the main signings this summer has unexpectedly become IndyCar racer Alex Palou. According to internal sources, the Spaniard’s management was in contact with four Formula 1 teams. Until now, Palou follows in the footsteps of Montoya and Villeneuve, who also made a name for themselves in America before going out to conquer the Royal Races. However, despite the obvious parallels, Alex will not be able to repeat the path of the previous knights. And there are reasons for that.

Villeneuve and Montoya prepared intensely for F-1. today this is impossible

The last move to date on the America – Formula 1 route dates back to 2008: multiple Champ Car champion Sebastien Bourdet signed a contract with Toro Rosso. And the last to succeed on both sides of the ocean were Juan Pablo Montoya and Jacques Villeneuve. Interestingly, Palou’s racing trajectory bears some similarities to the careers of the two aforementioned gentlemen. For example, they all quickly achieved success in America: Montoya took the title in the first season, Villeneuve and Palou in the second.

The very fact of such comparisons already characterizes Alex as a very talented driver. Perhaps, in terms of talent, he is comparable to the younger versions of Villeneuve and Montoya, but it is unlikely that he will be able to repeat the path of the Canadian and Colombian.

Both Jacques and Juan Pablo made their debut in Formula 1 very confidently: Villeneuve came close to winning the first Grand Prix, Montoya fought on an equal footing with Schumacher already in the third race. Here too there were some lucky circumstances.

For example, Villeneuve from the first Grand Prix rode at the pace of his more experienced partner Damon Hill and at the end of the season only slightly lost to the British. However, in the story of Jacques’ brilliant debut, one important detail should not be missed: an extensive test program from Williams.

Arriving in Australia for the first leg of the 1996 season, Villeneuve did not quite fit the classic definition of a rookie. Yes, the Canadian had no competitive experience in F-1, but by then he had already managed to drive more than a thousand kilometers behind the wheel of a Formula 1 car. For four months (from November 1995 to February 1996), Villeneuve he trained 3-4 days a week, circling the track behind the wheel of the current Williams car: at first he tested the FW17, closer to the start of the season he switched to FW18. In total, Jacques drove some 10,000 kilometres, roughly the same distance that drivers covered in 10 stages of the F-1 championship (taking all racing sessions into account), and these were just tests.

The brightest rookies in F-1 history:

Hamilton, Montoya and 5 of the best rookies in Formula 1 history

For his part, Montoya, unlike Villeneuve, did not take an accelerated course for a young fighter, but he also managed to familiarize himself with the formula technique even before his debut in the Royal Races. In the 1997-1998 seasons, Juan Pablo served as a test driver at Williams, so he still received the training part from him.

As for Palou, the Spaniard doesn’t even come close to such an extensive testing program. Modern Formula 1 sports regulations prohibit spontaneous testing in current cars. Outside of the official stages of the season, teams are only allowed to use live cars in designated sessions: preseason, tire, and postseason testing. In terms of total mileage, all these races don’t come close to Villeneuve and Montoya’s testing schedule, plus Palou will only be able to participate in post-season testing, having already missed the first two sessions. Yes, in theory, Alex will be able to practice on the cars of past years as part of private tests or drive more than a thousand kilometers on the simulator, but, you see, this will not be the same at all.

Also, admiring the initial successes of Montoya and Villeneuve, we must not forget that they began their career in F-1 as part of elite teams: Juan Pablo started in Williams, which was capable of winning, and Jacques put at his disposal a championship car

Unfortunately, nothing like Palou threatens. Only strangers are interested in Alex, and getting into at least the average McLaren (the Spaniard is in the Orange support program) in the near future will be difficult, only in the event of an emergency exit from Norris , which is unlikely. It will be extremely difficult to issue a spectacular debut in the weak, so gigantic feats should not be expected from Palou in his debut season.

Montoya left F1 too soon:

Without proper preparation, the champions of the American championship failed in F-1

The stories of Villeneuve and Montoya show that it is very possible to succeed on both sides of the ocean, but there are also reverse examples: not all the winners of the US championships managed to shine in Formula 1.

The most recent example (relative to other stories) of such a failure is Sebastien Bourdais. For four years, the Frenchman dominated the Champ Car championship, having issued championship titles poker. In the end, Sebastian attracted the attention of Helmut Marko: the Frenchman was offered the job of fighter pilot for Toro Rosso. The mere fact of signing a 29-year-old driver (and not even an “academic”) to the “homegrown” team already speaks of some kind of recognition by Red Bull.

Unfortunately, Burda did not live up to the expectations placed on it. In 2008, he failed against the background of his teammate Sebastian Vettel, and the following year the Frenchman lost to another Sebastien, the rookie Buemi. Bourdet was so hopeless that Bulls bosses kicked him out midway through the 2009 season.

Here we can say that Bourdet’s example is not indicative, since during the years of his triumph the level of Champ Car was not very high, seriously inferior to IndyCar, however, some champions of the most competitive CART championship traveled a path similar. . Take Cristiano da Matta, for example, who entered F1 a year after his American Series triumph. The Brazilian had a relatively good debut season with Toyota, but the following championship was his last in Formula 1. Against the background of falling results and public criticism of the Toyota team, they decided to part ways with da Matta without waiting for the end of the season.

But still, the main failure in terms of “expectation-reality” was the transfer of Michael Andretti to McLaren. By 1993, the son of the great Mario was considered one of the strongest CART drivers, so his alliance with the still competitive McLaren seemed quite promising. But unfortunately, it turned out the way he did. As his teammate Senna battled for wins, Michael was throwing fireballs and displaying lame pace. The most the American achieved was third place at the Italian Grand Prix. Three stages before the end of the season in the McLaren cockpit, Andretti was replaced by Mika Hakkinen.

However, the failures of some champions of the “American formula” do not mean at all that Alex Palou will necessarily repeat his luck. We just want to warn against inflated expectations regarding the Spaniard’s formulaic debut. In the future, he may succeed in F-1, but in the beginning it pays to be more tolerant of possible failures from him.

Be that as it may, but Palou first needs to sign a contract with one of the Formula 1 teams, and only then will we know what he is capable of, competing with the best drivers on the planet.

In hall 10, the film studio built a set and recreated the interior of a Soviet apartment of the 1930s, in which, according to the plot, the main character of the film, the boy Seryozha, lives.

In addition to the old telephone and furniture, other details of the life of that time will appear in the frame. Historic Moscow of the 1930s and 1940s will be recreated on site No. 1, where the streets of the southern city (Kiev in Gaidar’s story) will be built next to the courtyards of the former capital, where the outcome.

According to the plot, the hero of the film Serezha, due to a number of circumstances, including dramatic – the arrest of his father, is left without adult supervision. Seasoned criminals (spies and former White Guards) take advantage of this moment and drag the teenager into a dangerous story, from which he emerges as a hero. The director and producer of the film is Anna Chernakova. She is also one of the script writers. Her co-author is Alexander Adabashyan. Alexander Artemovich is also a production designer. Starring: Oleg Mogutov, Vladimir Ilyin, Vladimir Bolshov, Maxim Kerin, Daniil Popov and others.

“KP” called Alexander Adabashyan to find out more about the film.

“Like Arkady Gaidar’s story, it will be a detective seen through the eyes of a child who gets into a dangerous story and doesn’t immediately understand what he’s gotten himself into,” Alexander Adabashyan told KP. – Gaidar has a wonderfully constructed plot that allows you to control the emotions of the audience. At first, everything that happens to the main character seems like a funny story, but then it becomes scary. At first, the boy seems like a fool who flies like a moth into the fire, not thinking that he will burn his wings. In the course of the action, he becomes a true hero. I think that not every viewer would have acted as heroically as Seryozha. Plus Gaidar’s wonderful text full of humor. This is a teen movie, which is so rare right now.

Of the famous performers of the film, Vladimir Ilyin, who plays “Uncle” Seryozha, is removed. According to Adabashyan, the “uncle” played by Ilyin is so sweet that one cannot immediately tell that he is a spy and a bandit. Old Yakov is played by Vladimir Bolshov.

– There are two Soviet adaptations of this story with Vladimir Samoilov and Viktor Khokhryakov, in the role of “uncle”, so charming that until the end it was not clear that “uncle” was a criminal and a scoundrel. I hope we keep the intrigue. Time of action – 1936 year. There is no point in modernizing this story, – says Alexander Adabashyan. – The action begins in Moscow. The plot is lame. Unfortunately, not all modern teen viewers have read Gaidar’s story. They may begin to guess long before that the “uncle” is not who he claims to be, but the extent of his villainy will become clear only at the end.

Inflation in the US surprises more than expected and returns to pre-pandemic levels

Inflation in the United States gives the Federal Reserve a break. Prices increased 3% in June, which is their lowest level since before the pandemic after chaining a consecutive year of falls, as reported by the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS). Specifically, the US CPI has fallen for twelve consecutive months since, in June 2022, it broke its record for the last forty years by standing at 9.1%.

The interest rate hikes approved since then by the Federal Reserve, as well as lower energy prices, have allowed the inflation rate in the United States to now stand at pre-pandemic levels and at its lowest rate in two anos In monthly terms, consumer prices rose two tenths compared to the month of May.

Precisely, energy prices have fallen 16.7% in one year according to the BLS, while food rose 5.7% in that time. The annual rate of underlying inflation, which measures the rise in prices without counting energy or food, stands at 4.8%. In monthly terms, energy prices rose six tenths and food prices only one tenth. The underlying rise was two tenths, the lowest since August 2021.

The significant drop in inflation will be one of the data to be taken into account by the Federal Reserve, which in two weeks begins a new meeting of its Open Market Committee to decide on interest rates. Although rates were not raised at their previous meeting, Fed Chairman Jerome Powell detected that a new hike was expected this next time to prevent the economy from overheating. The labor market continues to be strong, and in June 209,000 net jobs were cut, while the unemployment rate fell one tenth to 3.6%

New hit on Steam: what surprises Dave the Diver and how to play in Russia

2023 is becoming the year of the cool indies. Hundreds of thousands are still going crazy over BattleBit Remastered, which surpassed Battlefield 2042 in popularity, and now Steam is tearing Dave the Diver apart.

First place in the sales chart, 95% positive reviews, 100,000 one-time online players, even blockbusters like Dead Space remake never dreamed of such hits. But what is Dave the Diver’s secret?

The video is available on the MINTROCKET YouTube channel. The rights of the video belong to MINTROCKET.

Buy Dave the Diver in Russia

The game is not officially sold in Russia (and Ukraine), the reasons are unknown, however, users from other Steam regions (Turkey, USA, Kazakhstan) can buy the game from 650 to 1100 rubles, depending on the region.

This is a great bagel

Dave The Diver talks about a unique place in the middle of the ocean that changes every day. He goes underwater today and sees green algae, peaceful fish and a couple of cozy caves. But tomorrow you will find a new location there with frilly plants and toothy predators.

Isn’t this the perfect place to open a sushi bar? However, the menu will be constantly updated and surprise visitors.

Extraction of ingredients is one of the main mechanics. The hero regularly plunges into the depths, explores new territories and hunts. At this point, the game becomes a muffin: keep an eye on your oxygen supply, reserve space in your bag for valuable fish, fight off predators, solve puzzles, and repeat the process.

Over time, the diver will purchase volumetric oxygen tanks, get lethal weapons, and expand the inventory. Meanwhile, the exploration becomes more interesting and more dangerous. Formidable bosses will stand in the way, at the bottom there will be a beautiful city with sea people, and new biomes will surprise, for example, with complete darkness.

The variety of fish, locations, and tools make Dave the Diver a great roguelike. Of course, the novelty is inferior to such classics of the genre as Dead Cells and Hades, but it is still a lot of fun.

From the ocean to the sushi bar

Dave hunts during the day and runs a sushi bar at night. At first, the establishment is seedy: there are few customers, the food is simple, and there are not enough staff. But it’s up to you to change everything! If he sources great ingredients, makes a smart menu, and serves everyone well, he’ll make a lot of money. They will come in handy for hiring waiters, upgrading the premises, or pumping a harpoon for the next hunt.

Manager Simulator is full of interesting mechanics. Did someone order tea? Take your order and prepare your drink correctly. Has the chef prepared the dish? Serve it quickly to the visitor. Is the room empty? Request advertising on television. There are too many people? A second chef is urgently needed, because the chef alone does not serve everyone.

It’s good to worry about these little things. Still, the game fills up with tasks and keeps you in good shape, but never makes you nervous. Time is running out, dissatisfied customers leave, and you still relax. In addition, you can immediately see the results of your efforts: until recently, the cafe was falling apart, but now it is turning into paradise on earth.

The cocktails are prepared through a minigame.

Dozens of other mechanics

Spearfishing and restaurant management are closely related. Did you succeed in diving? This will lead the sushi bar to success. Made a mistake on shift and scared all the customers? Now there is not enough money for improvements. But don’t think that Dave The Diver only surprises with these mechanics! New dozens of other activities that affect the hero’s life.

Find a camera, film an underwater attraction and get a reward. Go to a seahorse race and bet money on your favourite. Watch the concert and dance with QTE. Step into a visual novel and discover the backstories of important characters. These are just some of the possibilities that will surprise you.

Unfortunately, not all the mechanics are truly captivating. What is boring stealth, where Dave sits behind crates and overlooks armed guys? But the game of hide-and-seek ends quickly, and other activities are good entertainment.

May the fastest win

beautiful and moving

Artists have long proven that pixels can be beautiful. Take at least Songs of Conquest, where I wanted to see each building. In Dave the Diver, the situation is similar: all the locations are full of details, the color scheme is perfect and the cutscenes are extremely stylish.

Add here a meditative sound and a touching story about a dream that never dies. The end result is one of the most relaxing and fun games in recent years.

simple but tasteful

Is it worth playing?

Dave The Diver is reminiscent of the legendary Stardew Valley. At first, you see a simple game with banal mechanics and a primitive image, but over time you notice a huge number of mechanics, admire their interconnectedness, and can no longer pass up. Therefore, if you are tired of blockbusters and are looking for a cozy game, take a closer look at Dave the Diver.

"Let's bring a motorbike and pick it up": Russian "combat anime" captured the American BMP M2 Bradley

In the video, the fighters greet Zelensky.

Fighter “animes” captured the American BMP M-2 “Bradley”. Not just knocked out, but completely taken! In the video they posted, you can hear the car running. Now it cannot move independently, but after repair it can be repainted in Russian colors and used in the zone of special operations, already on our side.

In the video, the fighters greet Zelensky, thank him for the team, and promise to tow the Bradley to our positions with the help of a motorcycle league.

About the detachment of attack aircraft – “animeshnikov” from the 42 division, the “Storm” platoon, they used to write on social networks. The detachment was recruited through an audience with memes. Some of the guys actually wear chevrons and camouflage T-shirts with anime images. But in general, these are informal volunteers with different political views and just ordinary guys who went to fight for the country of their own free will, and not by conscription.

They are not Texas Rangers, nor Rambo, some of them generally have health problems and “white tickets”, which makes them laugh, because even with a “white ticket” you can run to the assault. And even capture the vaunted American technology.

The guys demonstrate the trophies on the Leshy Notes telegram channel. And his platoon is called “the most sincere unit of the second army in the world.” There is only one question for these heroic guys: why the “second army of the world”? Already the first, it seems, after they themselves stopped the army of Ukrainian thugs trained, equipped and controlled by NATO.

Vice Minister of Science and Education spoke about startup studies and technology transfer centers at universities KXan 36 Daily News

– In the last year, 34 thousand students have passed through us, who understood what entrepreneurship is, and in particular, what technological entrepreneurship is. Technological development is a complex, long and quite difficult process that does not fit into the five years of students’ education, he says.

In addition, it is clear that from the first year a young person cannot start developing some kind of technology, unless he is a unique child prodigy. People begin to implement some kind of business project from the second, third, sometimes from the fourth year.

– A startup studio gives them the opportunity to work in fairly comfortable conditions, so as not to think that at some point the money will run out and the team will disappear. The startup study supports the development of the technology so that it does not sit on the shelf, does not get dirty, but is brought to an understandable level of technological maturity and then integrated into actual production,” explained the deputy minister.

Indexa rises in its debut on the stock market and seeks to accelerate with acquisitions in Europe

Indexa rises in its debut on the stock market and seeks to accelerate with acquisitions in Europe

Indexa Capital begins its journey in the BME Growth. The three co-founders of the Spanish automated fund manager have rung the bell today on the Madrid Stock Exchange with increases of up to 19%, although with a very small volume of transactions due to the fact that the shares in negotiation are limited. The company starts this phase with the intention of making the leap to the Continuous Market in the coming years and with the aim of growing organically and also through acquisitions throughout Europe and consolidating the market.

The company has come out with a valuation of more than 150 million euros. The way to land in the park is through a ‘listing’ in which the ‘free float’ is quite limited. Trading is done twice a day due to the smaller number of shares outstanding. At the first price set this Wednesday after the bell rings, the shares have risen to almost the limit set by the regulations. Thus, each title is listed in this first ’round’ at 12.3 euros -compared to the 10.3 with which it started-.

The co-CEO and co-founder, Unai Ansejo, assured during his speech after the bell that they have three objectives with this step of listing on BME Growth: increase customer and market confidence; offer greater liquidity to shareholders and greater ease for potential new investors, and achieve a window of liquidity and access to financing for possible future operations.

In this context, the director of the group and co-founder Ramón Blanco has pointed out that they intend to grow organically, but also through acquisitions: “We hope that the listing of our shares will place us in a position of consolidators in Continental Europe”. These purchases will not only be limited to the markets in which they are already present – Spain, Belgium and France – but also to others on the continent.

Both executives have stressed, like the other co-founder and co-CEO, François Derbaix, that this premiere in the park is a step further. “It is the beginning of a new stage,” said Derbaix, who has insisted that there is “promising growth” in Belgium and France. Along with the automated manager, Indexa also has the Bewater Funds business, a fund manager for the purchase of secondary startup shares.

The company has revenue forecasts of 4.8 million euros in this year 2023 (a growth of 23% compared to the previous year) and with a net profit of just over half a million euros. This gain on revenue will represent 11%, a proportion that will foreseeably increase progressively over the next few years. They seek to raise the assets under management to overcome the barrier of 2,000 million.

Today, the shareholding of the firm is very distributed, although with a specific weight of the founders and the ‘anchor investor’, which is the Spanish investment fund Cabiedes & Partners. Specifically, Derbaix is ​​the largest shareholder with 20.4% of the titles and the Spanish manager adds 19%. Behind are Unai Ansejo (16.7%), Ramón Blanco (8.4%); the former CEO of Banco Bilbao Vizcaya, Pedro Luis Uriarte (6%); the All Iron Ventures fund (5%) and Veriditas Ventures -of Yago Arbeloa, brother of the former Real Madrid player-, and Fides Capital (Iberagentes) with 5% each. There are another 28 partners who have less than 5%. They all have a commitment to limit stock sales.

Plushenko’s student made an unexpected move. Now Kostornaya will be tough in pair skating?

Plushenko’s student made an unexpected move. Now Kostornaya will be tough in pair skating?

Ekaterina Avdonina July 12, 2023, 15:45 Moscow time Audio version: Your browser does not support the audio element.

Alena Zhilina changed her discipline, although she had prospects, being a single skater. Will ultra-si jumps come sooner to pair skating?

Figure skaters-quadrists have already become commonplace for single skating. And if such appear in other disciplines?

There is such a possibility, because the talented student Evgenia Plushenko decided to try her hand at pairs. Alena Zhilina, who once trained three different quadruple jumps and performed a triple Axel, will now try to revolutionize pair skating.

Will she get ahead of Alena Kostornaya?

Plushenko’s student unexpectedly entered pair skating

The off-season in figure skating never ceases to amaze. Transitions occur not only from one venue to another, but also between different disciplines. Recently it became known that the talented student of Evgeni Plushenko Alyona Zhilina left single skating for pairs. The decision of the 13-year-old athlete was confirmed by the representative of the Academy of the two-time Olympic champion:

“Training, yes. While we wait a bit, we do not shoot. Let the guys get used to each other, work quietly, ”this was the answer to the question of whether Zhilina really changed her occupation.

Alena Zhilina

Alena’s partner, according to TASS, was Andrey Rud. The young man is 18 years old, much older than the skater and has been skating as a couple for several years. Last season he acted with Eva Khmelkova. Before that, he collaborated several times with Anastasia Chernyshova, Elizaveta Osokina and Anastasia Kostyuk. Now Zhilina and Rud are training at the Plushenko Angels skating rink under the guidance of Arina Ushakova, a stuntwoman who began her career with Nina Moser.

Zhilina taught the elements of ultra-si: what went wrong?

The news about Alena’s new role on the ice excited fans of figure skating, because the athlete showed promise as a single figure skater. Like her older sister, Veronika, she went from Eteri Tutberidze to Evgeni Plushenko, having a triple axel in her arsenal, and then learning quadruple jumps. In training, Zhilina Jr. performed several quads: sheepskin coat, salchow and rittberger.

The story of the confrontation between Plushenko and Tutberidze:

Poaching Trusova and Kostornaya and criticizing the judges. Who is right in the dispute between Plushenko and Tutberidze?

Interestingly, the head of the Angels categorically denied the transition of the older sister to pair skating:

“She was not going to move on to pair skating. But if we are given such a task, we can do it. Zhilina can go both to pair skating and ice dancing, she is a versatile athlete: she can skate anywhere, ”Plushenko noted in a conversation with TASS, referring to Veronica.

The Zhilins were, perhaps, Evgeny’s main asset: with them she was going to conquer women’s single skating, but Alena’s fate turned out differently. The results at the competitions did not meet expectations: in the 2022/2023 season, the skater won only one tournament for Maria Butyrskaya’s prizes, so she decided to move in a different direction.

Kostornaya has a rival in pairs skating

On the other hand, the appearance of Zhilina in pair skating is a success for the entire discipline, whose representatives have long been talking about the need for development. Alexandra Boikova and Dmitry Kozlovsky are trying to do quad flips and throws, and Anastasia Mishina and Alexander Gallyamov even dream that one day athletes will start jumping quads.

The strengthening of this kind of ultra-si can happen thanks to Alena, although it was originally expected from another girl with the same name. Now it will be more difficult for Alena Kostornaya to get the palm from her. The 2020 European Champion also entered pair skating and immediately set her sights on a high result:

“I want to do a parallel triple axis in the programs. I don’t know if it’s possible, but I think it will work one day. While I would like to do all the elements well, to the level. We’ll talk about the complication later,” he told Sirius magazine.

More about Kostornaya’s transition to pair skating:

Stories

What is known about the Kostornaya transition in pairs? Alena refuses to finish!

Alena’s competitor for the title of figure skater, who made a revolution in pairs, is, of course, serious, but first Zhilina needs to catch up and learn the basics. Considering that she has before her eyes a successful example of the same Kostornaya, who began to change at a more mature age, this is probably not a big problem for her. It remains only to wish Alena success and wait for the first results in pair skating.

What’s wrong with Zelensky’s speech at the NATO summit: Resigned to the fate of Ukraine and “excused” for the tantrums

What's wrong with Zelensky's speech at the NATO summit: Resigned to the fate of Ukraine and "excused" for the tantrums

Volodymyr Zelensky at the NATO summit table in Vilnius.

What was left for Zelensky to do after being dragged face-first across the dirty floor like a doormat on the first day of the NATO summit in Vilnius? That’s right, just report the next day on the endless string of successes and victories that he allegedly won at the top. This is what he did.

“STAND ON A STOOL, READ A POEM TO GRANDPA”

In the morning, Zelensky met Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albenizi, Dutch Prime Minister Mark Rutte and British Prime Minister Rishi Sunak.

– Meeting with Rishi Sunak. The third meeting and Ukraine’s third success at today’s summit, Zelensky happily reported tearfully on his social media account. Well, such successes, who would have thought: Canberra promised Kiev to send up to 30 Bushmaster armored personnel carriers, talked with London on all issues, on “defense, politics, general security”, and agreed with Amsterdam to train Ukrainian pilots in the F-16 in August. And about some air defense systems.

Too small? Aqueous? Well, another “gingerbread” has to be earned. For example, “stand on a stool, read a poem to grandfather.” Which? Yes, at least for Grandpa Joseph Biden, who flew in from abroad to hear the rhyme.

Such a “stool” for Zelensky was a joint press conference with NATO Secretary General Stoltenberg. The NATO Secretary General spoke in the spirit that Ukraine and NATO are like twins and brothers of Indian cinema, who were separated in their milky childhood, but will definitely reunite. After all the required “democratic and security reforms” are carried out. And, of course, they will fulfill the main main condition – to win a final victory over Russia. In other words, the poor brothers in this story will never meet, unlike in Indian cinema.

On the first day of the summit, the Ukrainian president seemed at a loss.

And then it was the turn of the “rhyme” of the President of Ukraine. And he did the best he could, he recited clearly and with expression, he recited a memorized lesson. First of all, he thanked Stoltenberg and the summit participants for canceling the MAP (NATO Membership Action Plan). It is true that the MAP was replaced by the GDP (the annual national program to fulfill the necessary conditions for an invitation to NATO, which will be updated annually), so that one abbreviation was replaced by another, and there was even more formalism and bureaucracy. than before. But if you don’t talk about it, then as if there was nothing like that.

Zelensky got a little bolder and announced that security guarantees should not replace Ukraine as a NATO member, but he immediately backtracked and wanted all G7 countries to confirm Ukraine’s security guarantees.

“I think that if this happens, we will work on it, it will be an important concrete success,” wished the president of Ukraine. Now only four G7 countries are ready to give Ukraine guarantees: the United States, Great Britain, France and Germany. What kind of security guarantees, except for the supply of weapons, no one has said, neither in NATO nor in kyiv. And all the parties here avoid any detail.

– In all my meetings I sounded confident that we will become members of NATO when the appropriate conditions exist. By this I understand that when it is safe on our land,” Zelensky realized. – If today the G7 agrees to the first major declaration on security guarantees, then it will be a concrete fact, because it is written in them that they are acting towards NATO. This will be a very specific signal.

– We understand all the fears of the allies, including the threat of a world war, this is understandable and logical. We are proper people, ”Zelensky declared from the podium, and fitness became a real fashion in his speech.

– It doesn’t matter how I feel about the results of the summit. We are proper people,” she repeated again when asked how she felt about the outcome of the summit. – We can affirm that the results of the summit are good, but if there were an invitation, they would be ideal.

UNSHAVED BOY – GOOD COMPANION, THOUGH AND REAL

Well, it just perfectly fit the “baby on a stool” image. Stoltenberg at that moment was probably even ready to kiss Zelensky on his unshaven cheek. But he did not give up.

– I want to thank Lithuania once again not only for this summit, but also for the energy that this summit is filled with. This is exactly what we see on the streets. All these flags, human relations. I want to thank you all for this. This is a great support for us, a lot of energy,” Zelensky said at the end of his press conference. – I am very grateful to you for this. This, it seems to me, is the most important thing.

Zelenskiy will leave Vilnius without achieving his most desired goal: a clear date for Ukraine’s entry into NATO.

Photo: REUTERS

Of course, energy is the most important thing. And another 33 thousand flags of Ukraine, which Lithuania promised to hang around Vilnius and the country in honor of the fact that Ukraine would become the 33rd member of the North Atlantic Alliance. And now it would be nice if Zelensky took all 33,000 of these flags with him to Ukraine. they will be very useful there and will save the state budget for the funeral of the Armed Forces of Ukraine.

But the unshaven boy is still a good fellow, he hasn’t quite deteriorated, although the day before he was capricious, as if not himself. I read the poem, they gave me the sweets. And he did not make a scandal. Let’s see if there’s anything else. On credit.

US Congressman issues alarming warning after seeing secret UFO footage KXan 36 Daily News

The congressman was pessimistic about access to UFO images. “We can’t handle it,” he was quoted by Fox News. “Alien life forms may have technology that humanity ‘can’t handle,'” Burchett said during an appearance on the Event Horizon podcast. “If they have that technology, they can turn us into a coal briquette. And if they can travel light years or the speeds that we’ve seen and fly underwater, don’t show a heat signature and all that, then we’re totally out of their league.”

His candid comments came after David Grush, a US Air Force veteran whom many experts consider credible, made allegations that the government was running a secret program to search for UFOs. The House Oversight Committee is preparing a hearing to review Grush’s allegations. Burchett and fellow Republican Anna Paulina Luna of Florida will lead the committee’s investigation.

The All Areas Anomaly Resolution Office (AARO), the Pentagon’s specialized UFO department, is investigating more than 800 UFO-related cases, but only two to five percent of them are “truly anomalous,” according to the channel. NASA is also involved in UFO research, operating in a separate but parallel line, as AARO. NASA and AARO are expected to release separate reports this summer.

general practitioner, former director of the Hillel Foundation in Saratov

Many scientists continue to explore possible ways to fight for a long and active life. One of them is Dr. David Sinclair, co-director of the Paul F. Glenn Center for Biological Research on Aging at Harvard Medical School.

The 54-year-old expert claims to have reduced his biological age by 10 years thanks to his technique.

The researcher is dedicated to genetics and biogerontology, which considers the evolutionary processes of aging and ways to overcome them. He calls aging “the greatest epidemic” and believes that humanity should dedicate resources to find a fight against it.

What advice does Sinclair give to stay young?

The information below is a guide only and should not be used as a diet plan or lifestyle recommendation. For personalized advice, contact your doctor.

Nutrition

David studied special proteins, sirtuins, which play an important role in regulating cellular processes. They are essential for longevity. In order for them to work, there are several nutritional rules that form not so much a diet as a nutrition system:

a small amount of sugar and starchy foods in the diet, adherence to a diet aimed at activating sirtuins: Dr. Sinclair skips breakfast, drinks plenty of water and eats mainly plant foods;

Using intermittent fasting according to the scheme, an eight-hour eating window, and a 16-hour fasting window, this style of eating activates the processing process of old or damaged cells in the body.

Compliance with such a diet is possible only with regular monitoring of one’s own well-being and test results.

Exercise

Dr. Sinclair recommends exercising at least 30 minutes a day, at at least an average pace. Even if it is not possible to allocate the entire half hour for this at once, short interval training will still have a positive effect on your health.

Recommendations for organizing activities:

alternate high-intensity interval training (HIIT) and other programs, such as running and walking;

How effective are Sinclair’s recommendations?

Such changes in the diet cannot be made on their own, they require the advice of a doctor. Intermittent fasting, proposed by a geneticist, and the rejection of animal proteins, sweets and starchy foods are not new trends in nutrition.

The exclusion of any food group must be accompanied by a search for an alternative that meets the body’s need for nutrients.

It must be understood that the proposed system is not a sprint. To achieve the ultimate goal of maintaining health for many years, the recommendations must be strictly and carefully followed. It is important not to be lazy to spend part of your time building new eating and behavioral habits that require strength and discipline.

The chance that Biden will die during his second term is about 50%

According to The Hill, there is a high probability that Biden will die in the workplace if he wins the 2024 election.

The health of US President Joe Biden has long raised questions not only among Americans, but also among many residents of other countries. Or he will say some words out of place, then he will fall out of nowhere. It would seem that you should retire to take care of your grandchildren, but no! The owner of the White House plans to run for another term and run a superpower for another 4 years.

It is true that, according to The Hill, there is a high probability that Biden will die in the workplace if he wins the 2024 election.

Biden is now 80 years old, just weeks after the 2024 election, he will turn 82, and at the end of the second term, the current owner of the White House will cross the 86-year-old milestone.

According to the US Social Security Administration, a man born in 1942 who is still alive today (at age 80) can, on average, expect to live another 8.4 years. But at the same time, according to an expert interviewed by The Hill, he has a 31.35% chance of dying in the next five years. In other words, the chance that Biden won’t finish his second term is close to one in three.

This estimate, however, is the average for all 80-year-old men. Biden’s health appears to be below average, even for an 80-year-old man, which is often discussed in the media. In addition, Biden is the president of the United States, which is considered one of the most stressful jobs in the world, so here you can even apply the coefficient for a year and a half or two, like in the Far North or in dangerous industries . . Eight years as owner of the White House dramatically ages even a spirited middle-aged man, and Biden doesn’t seem energetic, and certainly his age can’t be called average.

Given these factors, American journalists are increasing the chances of Biden dying in office from 31.35% to 50%.

Thus, it is very likely that if Biden wins the 2024 elections, his vice president Kamala Harris will become the first woman to lead the United States, since it is the vice president who will take the reins of power in the event of her death. of the owner of the White House. Given Harris’s low poll ratings and the unflattering media coverage of her work as her vice president, few people want to see this lady as a national leader.

And The Hill’s journalists even fantasized that, given such a weak commander-in-chief like Harris, China would immediately seize Taiwan, and “Vladimir Putin would happily rub his hands.” However, it seems that in this case, American citizens will finally turn their eyes towards their own problems and not teach democracy to other countries.

Brussels fines Ilumina and Grail for "ignoring" the merger veto in Europe

The European Commission has announced this Wednesday its decision to fine the biotechnological laboratory Illimina with the maximum possible sanction with 432 million euros and the ‘startup’ Grail for going ahead with its merger despite the fact that the community services vetoed such an operation, at the end that the alliance would jeopardize innovation and competition in the emerging market for early cancer detection tests.

To get to know this situation, from Brussels they have had to carry out rigorous investigations since September of last year, when the Community Executive warned the two companies that merging without waiting for their opinion contravened the regulations since the European Union had previously established .

The inconsistency of these two companies, Ilumina and Grail, made them continue with their project and community services. For their part, in December they opted to formally accuse the companies of violating common law and demanded the dissolution of the merger.

Brussels considers that as a result of this alliance Illumina has been able to exert a “decisive influence” on Grail and, “in fact, it exercised it”, which is why it has now decided to impose a fine of 432 million euros on the laboratory and 1,000 euros on the ‘startup’ absorbed.

Illumina receives a symbolic fine

Union because this base is key in the European competition control system and allows Brussels to act “before structural changes modify the competitive space” in the EU.

In this case, as reported by the community services, Illumina’s action is considered “a very serious infringement” and therefore the maximum sanction allowed by community regulations is imposed, this is 10% of the company’s global turnover. infringing, which in this case increased to 432 million euros.

In the case of Grail, Brussels considers that it had an “active role” by allowing the merger knowing that Illumina did not have the green light for it but has chosen to impose a “symbolic” fine, as it is the first time that action has been taken against it. the company being purchased.

The Russian striker was waiting for the KHL champion, but he chose a dream. Guryanov’s last chance in the NHL

Pavel Panyshev July 12, 2023, 15:00 Moscow time Audio version: Your browser does not support the audio element.

In CSKA, with the current composition of the army, Denis has nothing to do.

The NHL club “Nashville Predators” officially announced the signing of a contract with Denis Guryanov. The agreement is for one year and $850,000. Recall that the 26-year-old forward was selected in the 2015 draft in the first round under number 12 overall by the Dallas Stars. He spent seven years with the Stars and also played for the Texas Stars farm club. In 2023, Guryanov ended up in Montreal. Last season, Guryanov played 66 games in which he scored 17 (7 + 10) points.

In early 2017, he became a World Youth Championship bronze medalist as part of the Russian national team, scoring the game-winning goal after extra time in the match for third place. Guryanov spent two seasons in the KHL for Lada. In 55 games, Denis has scored four goals and provided two assists.

Not the most honorable list:

Two Russians on the list of the best remaining free agents in the NHL according to the Daily Faceoff

Alas, but recently Denis’s performance in North America leaves much to be desired, so the hockey player definitely should not have counted on a lot of money. Guryanov’s story is somewhat similar to the situation of Mikhail Maltsev, who went to Los Angeles for the minimum wage. For both players, this is the last chance to try to gain a foothold in the NHL.

In the KHL, the rights to the striker belong to CSKA – the army club acquired them from Lada. The president of the Muscovites, Igor Esmantovich, did not hide a year ago that the team showed interest in Guryanov and studied possible options for the striker’s return to Russia. But then it didn’t work out – the Russian striker signed a new one-year contract with the Stars. By the way, the player’s salary was $ 2.9 million. Over the year, the striker has decently dropped in price.

Guryanov’s story of last year:

CSKA couldn’t steal America’s Russian talent. Have the KHL champions already found a replacement for Guryanov?

Denis did not finish the season in Texas; as mentioned above, a trade to Montreal occurred. The Canadian club also did not offer Guryanov a new contract, so the chances of a return to the KHL increased. However, in the agency environment, there were active talks that the athlete himself was not eager to sign a deal at home, but he was ready to play for much more modest money abroad. And so it happened.

Nashville general manager Barry Trotz, the man who won the Stanley Cup as head coach with Washington and Ovechkin, believed in Denis. Trotz treats Russian hockey players remarkably, so his decision to give Guryanov a chance came as no surprise. The main thing is that the player himself took advantage of this opportunity.

As for CSKA, objectively speaking, there is simply no point in going to Russia for Guryanov with the current composition and ambitions of the capital club. Muscovites demand the most from their hockey players, the competition in the champion team is huge, and among the extreme forwards Sergei Fedorov has a great option. Here you have Okulov and the universal Grigorenko. There is Plotnikov, Abramov, Mamin, Slepyshev, the young and headstrong Poltapov. It will be almost impossible for Denis to break into the top 6, but in Nashville in his current form it’s quite a lot.

In any case, Guryanov will still have time to play in the Continental League if he wants to. By the way, it would be interesting to see him again in his native Togliatti, but it is unlikely that the army team and car factories will decide to invest the rights to the hockey player in the next few years. Although, of course, it is not worth guessing.

Mango shoots up its sales by 20% until June and exceeds the pre-coronavirus figures

During the first semester, Mango launched the ‘Capsule’ collection, which stands out “for the quality of its materials and finishes” and which is part of the commitment to improve products. The brand has highlighted “the good evolution” that key markets such as Spain, the United States, Turkey, Italy and India have had during the first six months of the year.

New openings in Spain

Named the Most Heart-Healthy Food Formula

Named the Most Heart-Healthy Food Formula

For heart health, include more fruits, vegetables, and nuts in your diet

Photo: Evgenia GUSEVA

A long-term study of scientists was recently published in the authoritative European Heart Journal (Diet, cardiovascular disease and mortality in 80 countries | European Heart Journal | Oxford Academic (oup.com). 80 countries A quarter of a million people participated in the study.

For one thing, cardiologists haven’t discovered anything new: the more fruits, vegetables, and nuts in your diet, the healthier your heart will be. On the other hand, it means that we are moving in the right direction! And if you follow the recommendations of doctors, you look and we will live to be 100 years old. Of course, if you do not forget to sleep enough and move properly. By the way, doctors and science also constantly talk about this (here, for example, the latest study Scientists have shown: if you do not get enough sleep, then sports will not help – KP.RU).

Still, there are some interesting points in the new study. After all, scientists have very clearly indicated how much we should eat various types of food, if we really care about the cardiovascular system. In principle, “the healthiest diet for the heart”, according to scientists, is the quintessence of the Mediterranean diet, DASH (developed by American cardiologists) and the so-called Planetary Health diet, that is, a flexible diet for all living on Earth (created by Lancet experts) /

These are their main messages:

* 3 servings of vegetables every day. It can be pumpkin, bell pepper, green beans, onions, greens, eggplants, tomatoes – in general, to choose from. At least 300 grams (remark of the compilers of the diet: a serving is a glass of vegetables, half a glass of other vegetables).

* 2-3 servings of fruit every day. The most useful for the heart are bananas, apples, persimmons, pomegranates, oranges and seasonal berries. Only about 250 grams per day (diet compilers comment: a serving is 1 medium apple or banana, or pear, etc.).

* 2 servings of dairy a day. For example, yogurt or kefir and cottage cheese. Do not forget about cheese, especially young. It is perfect for salads (diet compilers comment: a serving is a glass of milk or yogurt or 30 grams of cheese).

* Once a day – nuts. Ideally walnuts, almonds, hazelnuts, pine nuts, pistachios, and pumpkin seeds. Necessary for the elasticity of the walls of blood vessels (remark of the compilers of the diet: one serving is about 30 grams).

* 3-4 times a week for dinner or lunch – a side dish of legumes (peas, beans, etc.). They normalize cholesterol levels. (Diet compilers comment: One serving is half a glass of cooked beans or lentils.)

* 2 times a week – fish. But not fried! Best steamed or cooked in a sleeve in the oven. And ideally – sea. Omega-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids reduce the risk of thrombosis and improve blood flow (comment from diet planners: one serving equals about 100 grams of fish).

But what about meat, you ask? Of course, you can’t go anywhere without meat, because it’s a complete protein, and you won’t get far on just peas and fish. But the creators of the “healthiest diet for the heart” recommend it as a minimum, that is, literally: 30 grams of poultry and 50 grams of red and white meat every day, or once every 2-3 days, but a whole part. But they still make discounts that one serving, that is, 100 grams of boiled (!) Meat per day, does not contradict a healthy diet.

Scientists have deduced that it is precisely this ratio of products from different groups that is built into the ideal BJU (protein-fat-carbohydrate) formula: 56% energy from carbohydrates, 27% fat (including 8.9% saturated and 15.0% unsaturated fat), 17.2% protein.

But at the same time, the WHO experts, and with them the experts of the Russian Ministry of Health, recommend a different combination for a good diet: in their opinion, at each meal, the ideal should be a combination of 3:3 :4. , that is, 30% protein, 30% fat and 40% carbohydrates. It is what meets the needs of a healthy body.

The truth, as always, is in the middle. But it’s definitely worth adding more seasonal fruits and vegetables to your plate when, if not now! And the heart will be healthier, and extra pounds will not stick.

"Pioneer" and Arthouse will show a documentary on Helmut Newton

On July 27, a documentary directed by Gero von Boehm, Helmut Newton: The Disgusting and Magnificent, will be released in Russian cinemas. The tape is a dedication to the infamous icon of the 1970s, the German photographer Helmut Newton.

Almost every star of the era has been in his lens, from Claudia Schiffer to David Bowie. The film will be released jointly by the Pioneer film company and the Arthouse creative partnership. The audience premiere of the tape will take place on July 23 in Moscow at the Khudozhestvenny cinema.

Helmut Newton is a German photographer whose images of nude divas in the 1970s were called scandalous and fetishistic, and at the time of his death in 2004 they were elevated to classic status. In 2020, director Gero von Behm reflects on whether Newton empowered women or instead exploited their bodies without exposing the genius.

Andy Warhol, David Bowie, Twiggy, Elizabeth Taylor, and many other cult figures of the day revered Newton’s work and appeared in his lens. In the 80s, he switched to portrait photography, photographing Catherine Deneuve, Sting, Sophia Loren, Monica Bellucci, Julia Roberts, Angelina Jolie, and his work with Cindy Crawford “Lady with a Doberman” is still considered one of the photographs most popular of our time. Helmut Newton is also the author of the famous portraits of Margaret Thatcher and Salvador Dalí.

The trailer for Luc Besson’s The Dogman has just been released. This is the filmmaker’s first project in four years. We talk about it in more detail here.

Dunas Capital: "The stock markets have not risen, specific companies have appreciated"

Variable income has experienced a brilliant first part of the year that has helped them recover their tone after the fateful 2022 with growth above 15%. A rise that Dunas Capital considers to be distorted by increasing the thickness of this ‘rally’ by less than ten values. “The stock markets are not going up, only some companies are revaluing,” says the investment director of Dunas Capital, Alfonso Benito Domingo. In a meeting with the media, the expert has warned of the “concentration risk” of certain values, which have such a high representation in the indices in which they are listed that they can determine their behavior.

This is the case of the ‘magnificent seven’, a name that refers to Apple, Amazon, Alphabet, Microsoft, Nvidia, Tesla and Meta. The ‘rally’ experienced by these values ​​has pushed the Nasdaq to a historic semester, in part, due to its weighting, which represents half of the technological index. In fact, the New York Stock Exchange has announced changes in the composition to reduce its weight. In the Old Continent, this situation is led by the luxury goods conglomerate LVMH or the chip giant ASML.

This is one of the reasons why Dunas Capital underweights equities and opts for a defensive approach, away from sectors that are currently priced high, such as those dedicated to discretionary consumption or technology focused on the health area, known as ‘Medical technology’. On the contrary, they see value in companies in the pharmaceutical, telecommunications, integrated oil or ‘utilities’ sectors, while they have abandoned the automobile sector, except for Mercedes, their margins remain “solid”.

They now see more value in fixed income, especially after the recent rise in interest rates and it is being postulated as an “interesting option”. In this sense, José María Lecube pointed out during his speech that they have US state debt in their portfolio and that they are considering including Europeans as well, without a specific preference for a particular country. In this regard, they have highlighted the opportunities offered by bonds issued by financial institutions given the sector’s need to strengthen its capital and the reduction of the ECB’s balance sheet. “Following Credit Suisse, we have taken the opportunity to sharply increase our exposure to financial credit, especially seniors, which has raised our average ‘rating’ to BBB, reduced to corporate bonds,” he underlined.

A “bigger” recession than expected

Their investment strategy rests in a context due to the rise in prices, in whose central scenario they manage persistent inflation that would lead to further increases in interest rates or to keep them high for a long time, a decision that could lead to a recession “greater than expected”. And With Fiscal Policy “Quite Exhausted” the rate cuts by the ECB and the Fed.

Elina Svitolina – Marketa Vondrousova. Ukrainian woman is exhausted

Nikolai Pavlov July 12, 2023, 2:30 PM Moscow time Audio version: Your browser does not support the audio element.

The victory over Sviontek required a lot of strength. Matches with the first racket in the world are not easy.

On July 13, 2023, Elina Svitolina and Marketa Vondrousova will meet in the Wimbledon semifinals. Start: no earlier than 15:00 Moscow time. The experts have already made a prediction, they prefer the Czech tennis player: she can bet on her victory with a coefficient of 1.77. The success of the Ukrainian is estimated at 2.07.

The best predictions for today.

Bookmaker odds for the Wimbledon match Elina Svitolina vs Marketa Vondrousova on July 13, 2023

Bookmakers suggest that the match between Elina Svitolina and Market Vondrousov will turn out to be stubborn. The total of more than 20.5 games is worth 1.49 and the total of less than 20.5 games is worth 2.47. You can bet that the Czech tennis player will win with a score of 2:0 in sets by 2.72.

Analysis and prediction for the match Elina Svitolina — Marketa Vondrousova (13.07.2023)

On July 13 will be the first match of the Wimbledon semifinals. Elina Svitolina and Marketa Vondrousova meet. The Czech tennis player is in great shape and highly motivated to reach the final of the Grand Slam tournament.

USA on the way to the final:

United States – Panama. She shouldn’t have laughed at the Canadians.

Vondrousova may well be recognized as the discovery of Wimbledon. The tennis player rarely won on grass courts, preferring other surfaces. The fast style did not suit the 24-year-old Czech, as she did not have a strong serve. Everything changed in the 2023 season.

Rublev – the first quarterfinal, for which I am proud.

The sensation with the participation of Marketa struck already in the Wimbledon quarterfinals. Racket number 42 in the world defeated American Jessica Pegula with a score of 2:1 (6:4, 2:6, 6:4). The rivals spent 1 hour and 55 minutes on the field and kept the public on edge with the unpredictable development of the match’s plot.

Previously, Vondrousova’s best achievement at Wimbledon was the second round in 2021, for which the world’s fourth racket was rightly recognized as the most likely winner of the meeting. But Marketa was extremely calm and focused on her game. Thanks to this, she advanced to the semifinals.

Guillermo Ochoa will defend the gates of Mexico:

Jamaica – Mexico. Shamar Nicholson won’t get away

The Czech tennis player stood out precisely on her serve, surprising Pegula with seven aces and two double faults. Improving the quality of putting the ball in the game was the main asset of the Market, which in the third set was on the verge of defeat. Vondrousova trailed 1-4, but managed to make a blistering comeback.

Djokovic spoke about Rublev’s yelling.

Market will compete with Elina Svitolina to reach the final. Note that the 28-year-old tennis player played the first matches only in April 2023 after a break associated with the birth of a child.

The Ukrainian also surprised the fans when she defeated Iga Swiatek 2:1 (7:5, 6:7, 6:2) in the quarterfinals. The Ukrainian reached her second Wimbledon semifinal. Note that this victory was the seventh for Elina over the leaders of the WTA rankings.

Marketa Vondrousova appears to be the most likely Wimbledon finalist. Still, the victory over Iga Sviontek exhausted Svitolina, and in the match with the Czech tennis player, physical preparation will come to the fore.

Roman Safiullin spoke about the support he felt at Wimbledon.

Vondroušová drastically changed the way she played on grass courts and improved her first serve. Due to the strong and precise entrance of the ball, she gains an advantage for the aggressive development of attacks. Marketa’s win bet looks promising for a coefficient of 1.77.

Prediction and bets for the Wimbledon match Elina Svitolina – Marketa Vondrousova 13 July 2023

Svitolina spent all her energy to reach the semifinals. Already in the match with Sviontek, failures in receiving the ball were noted. If the world’s first racket showed maximum concentration, Elina would not have seen the semifinals. In turn, Vondrousova is improving during Wimbledon and has reached the peak of her form. Let’s bet on her victory.

Tender: Marketa Vondrousova’s victory by 1.77.

Express with a coefficient of 12.61.

Medvedev: I don’t want to stop at Wimbledon.

Andreeva, 16, recounted how she would spend Wimbledon’s €240,000 prize money.

Wimbledon spectators will not be warned about the lack of post-match handshakes.

Svitolina stated that she did not believe in reaching the Wimbledon semifinals before the start of the tournament.

Kazakhstan has become a leader in attracting investment in the post-Soviet space

Kazakhstan has become a leader in attracting investment in the post-Soviet space

The United Nations Conference on Trade and Development UNCTAD has released its World Investment Report 2022. According to the report, net foreign direct investment inflows into Kazakhstan amounted to a record $6.1 billion over the past five years, a 83% more than the previous year. This indicator became the highest among all the countries of the post-Soviet space.

61% of all investments in Central Asian countries

Following Kazakhstan on the list of record holders for foreign direct investment among post-Soviet states are Uzbekistan ($2.5 billion), Lithuania ($2.2 billion), Georgia ($2 billion), and Belarus ($2.5 billion). 1.6 billion).

It is worth noting that the inflow of net foreign direct investment to the Central Asian countries as a whole increased by 39% and amounted to $10 billion, of which Kazakhstan accounts for more than half, 61%.

As already mentioned, these data are taken from the report of the United Nations Conference on Trade and Development UNCTAD, which is a kind of think tank and headquarters for the development of recommendations of the UN General Assembly in the field of trade. and investment. Within the United Nations system, UNCTAD plays the role of focal point for finance, technology, investment and sustainable development. The main objectives of the organization are to promote the development of the world economy through the development of organizational and legal conditions and mechanisms for international economic relations. The organization conducts economic policy analysis, convenes intergovernmental meetings, interacts with civil society and the business sector around the world.

In an introductory article to the report, UNCTAD Secretary-General Rebeca Greenspan says that over the past year, prospects for international investment have looked downright bleak against the backdrop of a growing crisis in health systems, climate change and the economic crises that caused uncertainty in investors around the world. Rising inflation, fears of a recession and turmoil in financial markets halted many investment plans at the beginning of the year. In the end, international investment flows were still in crisis, but the system was more resilient than expected.

“While foreign direct investment worldwide fell 12% last year, falling to $1.3 trillion, its decline was limited and investment in developing countries grew, albeit minimally, so investors They announced new projects in industry and infrastructure by the end of the year.” writes Rebecca Greenspan. – As for the business as such, the situation in this area does not inspire optimism. Significant imbalances persist in global investment patterns. Investment growth in developing countries affects only a small number of young economies. Foreign direct investment in many developing countries is very modest, while investment in the least developed countries has fallen 16% from an already low level.

The author highlights the growth of some sectors of the economy, such as the production of semiconductors, whose recovery is due to the shortage of chips. However, this growth occurs in the context of weak performance in other industries that are important to the productive capacity of developing countries.

“While some investment sectors important for sustainable development (such as renewable energy) are attracting significant foreign investment, others, particularly water, sanitation and agricultural food production, are developing slowly. Foreign direct investment in agriculture, which is so important to maintain food security, is lower today than it was in 2015, when the Sustainable Development Goals were adopted,” the author writes.

“Together, with intelligence and determination, we must find the right path to overcome these challenges and build a more stable and just world for future generations”, concludes the Secretary General of the United Nations Conference on Trade and Development.

promising investments

Some economists call the investment climate – ie. economic, financial and political conditions of the country or region – the basic factor in the development of the economy and the well-being of the population.

In turn, the state of the investment climate is influenced by various factors. These are the standard of living of citizens, the level of crime and corruption, the state of national security, the degree of stability of the political regime, the fiscal policy of the state, the responsibility of the government before political institutions and citizens, the transparency of government decisions, the state of property rights, etc.

The factors that affect the entry of foreign investment are divided into soft and hard. The former include the regulatory and legislative framework, financial and tax incentives, the relationship between government and business, and administrative processes. Hard factors include the geographic location of a country or region, natural resources, infrastructure, the level of human capital development, and the size of the domestic market. An unfavorable investment climate becomes an obstacle to foreign investment in the country’s economy, which inevitably affects the standard of living of citizens.

A report from the United Nations Conference on Trade and Development UNCTAD points to a 6% increase in foreign direct investment in 32 landlocked developing countries. Kazakhstan once again leads this ranking, followed by Ethiopia, Uzbekistan and Mongolia.

The Republic of Kazakhstan also ranked fifth among the world’s emerging economies in attracting net foreign investment in renewable energy projects for the period 2015-2022 with an indicator of $56.3 billion.

Okko presented the documentary "Whales: Guardians of the Planet" with the voice acting of Sergey Burunov

Okko’s online cinema hosted an exclusive premiere of the documentary Whales: Guardians of the Planet by French director Jean-Albert Llevre. In the center of the plot is a humpback whale that has thrown itself into the ocean. A large group of enthusiasts are immediately led to save the animal. Together they try to prevent the mammal from dying. The film was distributed in Russia by Russian World Vision.

“French director Jean-Albert Lièvre takes the private history of the whale as a framework to tell about his relatives, their habits and amazing abilities. By illustrating the story with incredible images of underwater life filmed around the world, Llevre takes the viewer on an incredible audiovisual journey.

Filming took place in Greenland, Mexico, Argentina, Polynesia, Britain, the Mediterranean Sea, Normandy, South Africa, Australia, Tonga, Kamchatka, Antarctica, Norway, and Hawaii. According to the director’s idea, the voiceover belongs to the whales and they talk about themselves in the first person, Okko’s representatives explain. For Russian-speaking viewers, the film was played by actor Sergei Burunov.

The film’s soundtrack is made up of pre-existing compositions from various genres, from jazz to energetic synth-pop, rock, hip-hop, rap and art songs. Among them you can find the work of the famous Icelandic film composer Johan Johannsson, who created the music for most of Denis Villeneuve’s films, or a track from the latest album by legendary Canadian musician Leonard Cohen.

Let’s remember that since July 1, cartoons by Hayao Miyazaki and Studio Ghibli appeared in Okko. These include Nausicaa of the Valley of the Wind, My Neighbor Totoro, Princess Mononoke, and Spirited Away. We talk about it in more detail here.

Banca March launches a fixed income fund with an annual return of 3% APR

Banca March launches a fixed-income fund maturing in 2026 that aspires to have a net APR return that equals the return of the best deposits marketed in Spain. However, these funds are not guaranteed at 3% APR, as reported this Wednesday in a statement to which he has had access to Europa Press.

For its part, the entity has indicated that the product will be marketed through its online platform Avantio and that it will be managed by March Asset Management. In addition, this fund, called Fixed Income March 2026, is determined for moderate risk profiles that seek to protect their capital but at the same time be on the move.

The Spanish bank has indicated that the fund will invest its entire portfolio in public or private fixed income assets in OECD markets and with up to 15% exposure to emerging countries. However, it establishes some requirements that must be respected in order to obtain daily liquidity, such as, for example, that the minimum of the fund is 1,000 euros, with a maturity set for the beginning of June 2026. For its part, the marketing of the fund continues to until September 5, 2023.

Equals the profitability of Spanish deposits

The increases in interest rates by the European Central Bank (ECB) encourage deposits in the euro zone. In this race to attract customers and liabilities, European banks have taken the lead and are offering one-year fixed-term deposits that break the 4% barrier and even make it possible to offset the rise in Euribor. Regarding the number of deposits that they make available to customers, 76% of those that can be contracted today are from entities -most of them market their deposits in Spain through the online platform raisin- and s. with Spanish entities.

These time deposits behave in the same way as the Spanish ones. The investor must place an amount of money depending on the minimum amount that each bank requires and similar, respecting the maximum allowed. After the expiration of the determined term, the amount delivered plus the agreed interest will be obtained.

Inflation and the banking crisis trigger the arrival of money

Strong rises in bond market yields over the past year have strengthened buffers against rate volatility and led many investors to conclude that fixed income is back. To know whether investors have missed the moment or not, there are two main factors: the flows of funds and the entry point for the institutions. The first quarter flows of 2023 are likely to reverse the net aggregate negative fund flows into active bond funds that occurred in 2022.

Although the picture varies from one category of active bond funds to another, the total net inflow of $43 billion in the first quarter of 2023 was a fraction of the median quarterly net outflow in 2022 of $163 billion. But it is an important trend change that marks the new boom in this space. Investors have been cautious amid concerns about weaker growth prospects, the potential impact of the banking sector’s woes on the broader credit market and lingering inflation.

On July 13, the match of the first qualifying round of the Pyunik Conference League – Narva Trans will take place. The game starts at 18:00 Moscow time. The bookmakers have already given a forecast, they consider the hosts to be the favorites: you can bet on the victory of the Armenian club in bookmakers with a coefficient of 1.44. The success of the Estonian team was evaluated by experts at 8:00. Bets on a draw are accepted for 4.30.

The best predictions for today.

Bookmakers Odds for Pyunik vs Narva Trans Conference League Qualifying Game on July 13, 2023

Bookies doubt that the Pyunik-Narva Trans match will be productive: the total over 2.5 goals costs 1.90, and the total under 2.5 goals also costs 1.90. The hosts’ goal is available in bookmakers with odds of 1.10. If the guests score, the fee will be 1.84. You can bet that both teams will score by 2.14.

Analysis and forecast for the match of the first round of the Conference League Pyunik – Narva Trans (13.07.2023)

The group stage of the Conference League begins in September. Until then, teams that have not directly received entry have a chance to qualify. Many first qualifying round matches are scheduled for July 13. Among others, the match between Pyunik and Narva Trans stands out.

Panama will prevent the USA from reaching the semifinals:

United States – Panama. She shouldn’t have laughed at the Canadians.

Last season, Pyunik performed quite well in the European Cup tournaments. He first reached the third qualifying round of the Champions League, beating CFR Cluj and Dudelange. Crvena Zvezda did not let them go any further (0:7 on aggregate).

Abascal announced new signings at Spartak.

Then the Yerevan club lost to Sheriff in the Europa League playoffs. Both games were marked by draws (in both cases 0:0), but in the penalty shootout, the Moldovan team that put Real Madrid in trouble turned out to be more successful.

After that, Pyunik got into the group stage of the Conference League, in which he showed himself well, but still failed to reach the playoffs. Yeghishe Melikyan’s wards have won twice and lost three times.

Shamar Nicholson states:

Jamaica – Mexico. Shamar Nicholson won’t get away

At the same time, Pyunik took the silver medals of the Armenian Championship, and also reached the semifinals of the Cup of the country, losing to Shirak (1: 1, 3: 5 pen.). In the summer, the Yerevan club retained the head coach and the backbone. He gives up, and this season he will make a lot of sensations.

Messi flew to the United States to sign a contract with Inter Miami.

Compared to Pyunik, Narva Trans looks like an obvious outsider. Not only is the Estonian championship level lower than the Armenian, but the Narva team is still not their strongest club. At the end of the last season, he only ranked seventh.

Now things are not going better for Narva. It ranks eighth in the Meistriliga. The difference with Tammek, who is in the playoff zone for the right to keep his residence permit in the elite division, is three points, but the rival has a game pending.

For 20 rounds, the Narva club won only six victories and drew once. During this time period, he scored just 13 goals, the fewest, while he himself conceded the most 33. It is possible that Narva Trans will finish the season in the bottom place and be relegated to the second strongest Estonian division.

How, with all this, Narva Trans got a chance to play in the Conference League? At the end of last season, the club won the Estonian Cup, not without luck defeating Tabalasa (1-0) and Flora (2-1), which by then had already guaranteed access to European competitions and was focused in the fight. for gold medals with “Levadia”.

Khabib is proud of his teammate:

In the footsteps of Nurmagomedov. Will Makhachev break Khabib’s UFC record?

In this situation, a bet on Pyunik to win with a handicap (-1.5) is suggested for a coefficient of 2.20. An additional advantage will be given to you by the fact that the meeting will take place in Armenia. Over 18 rounds in the last home Premier League, Pyunik lost just four times. In all other matches he won.

Bayern is ready to pass the threshold of 100 million euros in the case of Kane.

It is also worth noting that the level of Armenian football has grown significantly. This is reflected in the success of the national team. In the three initial rounds of qualifying for Euro 2024, they lost to Turkey (1: 2) and also beat Wales (4: 2) and Lithuania (2: 1).

Prediction and bets for the qualification game of the Conference League Pyunik vs Narva Trans on July 13, 2023

Last season Pyunik stood out both internationally and domestically. It will most likely be the same with this one. As a Yerevan club they did not slow down. Somehow, it even got better. For example, I gained experience playing in European competitions. I think he will advance to the next phase of the tournament without any problem. Narva Trans is an outsider from the Estonian championship. He constantly loses and misses a lot. Yeghishe Melikyan’s charges shouldn’t have any difficulties with the Estonians at home.

Tender: victory for Pyunik with a handicap (-1.5) by 2.20.

Express with a coefficient of 6.96.

Calviño accuses the PP of including a snip of 20,000 million in the 23-J program

Calviño accuses the PP of including a snip of 20,000 million in the 23-J program

The electoral program of the PP for the general elections on July 23 incorporates a structural cut in income for public arcades of 20,000 million euros which, if not offset, would mean an increase in the deficit of 1.5 points of GDP. The warning was made this Wednesday by the First Vice President and Minister of Economic Affairs, Nadia Calviño, who has branded the economic plan of the main opposition party as “unknown.”

During his participation in an informative breakfast organized by Europa Press, Calviño explained that “unless there is a hidden agenda of massive cuts (…) Spain would not meet its fiscal objectives”, if it implemented the measures proposed by the formation of Alberto Núñez Feijoo. “I intuit that there is a hidden program, because if not, I don’t understand it,” he pointed out.

The ‘number two’ of the Executive has also registered that the popular’s promise to reduce personal income tax to incomes below 40,000 euros does not appear in his economic program. “One thing is what is said, another thing is what is written and I suppose that something else is what is done”, commented the Galician. Among other things, she has criticized the PP’s claim to eliminate the Iberian solution in gas, understanding that it has been a “key” measure to moderate inflation.

The CPI dropped last month at 1.9% in the annual rate, its lowest level since April 2021, and which places Spain as the first major economy in the Eurozone to place the rise in prices below the target at medium term rate of 2% set by the European Central Bank (ECB). The head of Economy has assured that she would like the Iberian mechanism not to be necessary in the future because prices have stabilized, although she defends that it is a “safety net” that generates peace of mind for Spanish companies.

Agreement to build a semiconductor R&D center

The vice-president has also announced an agreement of intent with Imec, the world reference institute for semiconductor research and development, based in Belgium, to establish its second microchip R&D center in Spain. This pact would be added to those previously reached with industry giants such as Intel, Cisco or Broadcom.

The last one was announced last week by the American chip company Broadcom, which has promised to build a semiconductor factory in our country in which it plans to invest 1,000 million dollars (around 920 million euros at current exchange rates). . The San Jose, California-based firm, listed on the Nasdaq technology, is a global designer, developer, manufacturer and supplier of a wide range of semiconductor and infrastructure software products.

Banks will remunerate deposits better due to competition

In relation to banking, the head of Economy considers that the entities will end up remunerating deposits better due to a mere question of competition. “If there is strong competition, then they have to compete for customers”, and he has indicated that the Government is working with the National Commission for Markets and Competition (CNMC) to verify if this competition problem exists.

“I refer to the statements of a representative of the bank, who said ‘we will remunerate the liabilities not because a person says so, but because of competition’. In short, they said it themselves: if there is competition they will have to start remunerating the liabilities” , has settled, citing the statements of the CEO of Banco Sabadell, César González Bueno.

Another of the arguments that he has given is that “there is a saving that is seeking remuneration”, which from his point of view is very well reflected by the fact that there is an “enormous retail demand” for public debt, especially bills of the Treasury, where the demand of small savers already reaches 17% of the total.

GDP can grow above 2.1%

After the wave of upward revisions to the growth forecast for Spain made by national and international organizations in recent weeks, the Government expects the economy to grow even above the 2.1% that it had incorporated in the Stability Program sent to Brussels a few months ago. “Right now, with the data we have for the first semester, it is clear that we are going to be above the growth forecast of the Government and that is what all the organizations see,” he assured.

However, it has influenced the message of prudence that is usually conveyed on this matter, stressing that, if the next legislature continues as financial manager, it will update the macroeconomic picture when the new budget plan is sent to Brussels in autumn. “I don’t see any benefit from constantly changing forecasts”, he reiterated, after recalling that Spain recovered the level of GDP GDP GDP It took a decade to return to growth prior to the 2008 financial crisis.

The new Lada Iskra will abandon an important family trait of the KXan brand models 36 Daily News

The new patent portion contains images of the car’s gas tank shield, roof liner, and C-pillar liner cap in two versions. The last item is especially interesting, as one of the users noted in the comments to the post on the “Autoflow” channel: “Lada without a window on the C-pillar, of course, is no longer a fret …” ( are preserved the author’s spelling and punctuation).

Previously, AvtoVAZ received patents for the interior elements of the new Lada Iskra, which before the announcement of the name appeared in publications as “new Lada Granta” or “Lada Granta 2”.

It is known that the model is built on the Renault CMF-B platform and will receive an unusual option for Lada models, typical for models of the upper segment. The right to use it is provided for by the business restructuring plan of a foreign company, developed when exiting the Russian market. Iskra is currently undergoing a series of road tests.
