What does experience with past outbreaks suggest about the strengths and gaps of the current system of care for rare but serious infectious diseases?
How might the current system be strengthened or more formalized to address those gaps?
How could a more formalized system be financed, both in terms of initial investments and long-term sustainability?
While the current system of care for treating rare but serious infectious diseases—which was developed in response to the 2014–2016 Ebola outbreak—provides an important foundation, a number of issues remain. In particular, a system of care must be able to sustain capacity and capabilities, manage the distribution of needed resources, and meet high demand for services. In this report, RAND researchers consider the need to strengthen the current system of care, discuss potential opportunities, and identify key financial considerations for the sustainability of the system.
This research suggests that the United States may benefit from a strengthened or more formalized system of care for rare but serious infectious diseases. The authors identify several opportunities to strengthen the current system of care, including enhancing or building upon the three tiers of acute care facilities that were established during the Ebola outbreak of 2014–2016, developing a brain trust of clinicians and others who can provide advice to health care providers, using mobile teams, and enhancing air and ground systems for safely transferring infected patients. The authors also lay the groundwork for future discussions around key financial considerations to ensure the sustainability of a system of care for rare but serious infectious diseases.
A more formalized system of care would be beneficial
There was strong consensus among working group members and other experts that a more formalized system of care for serious infectious diseases would be beneficial.
A more formalized and organized approach to care could integrate existing systems and resources, with the goals of harmonizing the response across federal agencies and reducing unnecessary variation in care.
The system should build on existing systems and resources
There was consensus within the working group that a strengthened system should neither start from scratch nor be superimposed on the existing approach to care.
Elements that could strengthen the existing system include enhancing the three-tiered system of facilities established during the Ebola outbreak of 2014–2016, developing a brain trust of clinicians and others to provide advice to health care providers, creating mobile teams, and enhancing air and ground systems for safely transferring infected patients.
Financial sustainability is critical
Existing incentives may not motivate health care facilities and systems to invest in increasing their capacity to respond to rare infectious threats when there is no clear or immediate return on investment.
Researchers identified and assessed a range of funding options that leverage existing assets and resources, create new funding streams, and create incentives that encourage hospitals to invest in providing care or that remove barriers to investment.
Federal funding sources may be important elements of a comprehensive strategy for financing a system of care.
Because many of the key assets and capabilities involved in caring for patients with rare but serious infectious diseases lie outside direct federal control, any effort to design and implement an improved system should engage a broad array of stakeholders.
The complex interactions among different organizations require a design process that features continuous experimentation and learning.
Given the difficulty in planning for highly infectious threats of uncertain origin, timing, and size, facilities could identify a range of plausible scenarios (based on past experience and expert opinion) and identify the likely amount of capacity and capability needed.
Regularly convening a mix of stakeholders in a standing working group meeting could help ensure that the various components of the system are designed to function effectively as a whole. An important charge for such a group would be to consider both financial sustainability challenges and such broader sustainability challenges as maintaining expertise, training, and operational readiness.
Regularly obtaining on-the-ground feedback on prototypes will be important. Prototypes might consist of verbal descriptions and diagrams of processes or tabletop exercises that ask participants to "play through" a proposed process using a written scenario. This approach would provide high-level, early input on system components to avoid further investment in ideas that are not feasible.

Tellus well flows basement oil on test
Lundin Norway has completed a side track appraisal well to its Tellus discovery in the Norwegian North Sea.
STOCKHOLM, Sweden -- Lundin Norway has completed a side track appraisal well to its Tellus discovery in the Norwegian North Sea.
Well 16/1-15 A, drilled by the semisub Bredford Dolphin in license PL 338, proved a 50-m (164-ft) oil column, including a thin lower Cretaceous sandstone with good quality reservoir quality overlaying fractured basement. The location was 0.5 km (0.3-mi) southwest of the 16/1-15 that led to the discovery well.
According to the Norwegian Petroleum Directorate (NPD), there were two productive formation tests in the discovery well – one constituted the first full-scale production test offshore Norway of a reservoir comprising cracked and porous bedrock.
Lundin estimates Tellus' reserves in the range 11-55 MMboe, of which around 90% is oil. Tellus, a northern extension of the Luno discovery, will be included in the Greater Luno Area development program.
Bredford Dolphin will next drill another wildcat for Lundin Norway, well 16/3-4, in license PL 501.
Concurrently, Lundin issued a letter of award to contractor Fred Olsen Energy to take the rig for a one-year, six-well program on the Norwegian shelf, starting next January, with the option to extend the campaign for a three further wells. The contract value for the firm period is $133 million.
In a separate development, NPD has approved Lundin's request to drill its first exploration well in Barents Sea license PL 438, using the Transocean Leader.
Well 7120/2-3 S will be drilled 30 km (18.6 mi) northwest of the Snøhvit field. The license, awarded under Norway's APA 2006 round, consists of parts of blocks 7120/1, 7120/2, 7120/3, 7120/4, 7120/5, and 7120/6.

Mongolia is a pretty safe place for most travellers to visit.
Mongolia is one of the least crime-ridden countries to visit. With one of the lowest crime rates in Asia, you won't have to worry too much about getting into trouble while visiting, so long as you play it safe and use common sense.
The biggest concern when travelling in Ulaanbataar or any other Mongolian city is that you might get your purse slashed or your wallet stolen. It's petty theft but really annoying and troublesome if you lose your passport and all your cash. Put them in a money belt or locked up back at the hotel.
Mongolia has seen a recent rise in ethnically-motivated violence. Ultra-nationalist Mongolian groups single out individuals with Caucasian, African or Chinese features just because of the way they look.
Xenophobic and nationalist groups are most likely to target you if you're a white, black or ethnic-Chinese man speaking with a Mongolian woman.
If you are a single male travelling alone, be very aware of this dynamic and try not to flirt too much at bars or in clubs. There has been a string of racially-inspired attacks since the spring of 2010 against inter-racial couples ranging from deliberate, planned attacks to assaults of passion at bars.
Don't travel by yourself late at night. Keep a low profile at all times (as best you can being Caucasian, African or Chinese!) and simply enjoy yourself. Getting into political arguments with locals at bars or acting in an antagonistic manner is sure to have consequences you don't want.
There are limits when it comes to trying to blend in, guys!
These areas see a variety of organized criminal groups operating on a daily basis, so if you plan on walking through, be sure you have your money stashed in a safe place.
The airport is rich pickings for thieves because many travellers are so weary from their flight they forget to pay attention to their money and easily parted from it. Don't rest your mind until you get to your hotel room!
If you're travelling on the train or bus for extended periods, such as on the Trans-Mongolian Railway, strap that money belt under your shirt. This way, you can sleep on the train without worrying about your things. Try not to wear expensive jewellery or accessories when you go out.
Thieves won't just steal your cash, they even flogged a prayer wheel..
Also be aware that unmarked cars often drive the streets of cities with the window rolled down, offering to give you a ride. Be wary! At best, these unmarked cabs will offer poor service for an overly expensive price. At worst, they will be in on a scam where you are held up for all the money you're carrying. If you need to take a cab, be sure to schedule one from your hotel, restaurant or store and have people there assist you.
Large groups of teenagers or kids may harass you for your money upon leaving a bar. Generally, as long as you keep your money hidden and out of sight, they will leave you alone to try to find someone showing more obvious bling. These groups are generally harmless if you move through them, but they may seem scary at the time because there are so many people.
Times to be aware of increased criminal activity are the Naadam Summer Festival in July and the Tsagaan Sar Winter Festival, when lots of tourists are around. Don't keep your valuables in your pockets, because organized crime syndicates with plenty of experience pickpocketing are sure to be trawling the areas discreetly to steal whatever money they can find.
It may seem like a fun idea to travel across the desert or scrubland by horse, especially if you are travelling with other tourists or a guide you picked up locally. Armed bandits may follow your group across the desert and steal all your stuff, including your horses, while you sleep. The local guide may either be a patsy or in league with the thieves. Either way, you will end up out of luck and stuck in the desert.
If you want to travel further afield and see some of the stunning natural beauty that Mongolia has to offer, make sure you travel with a respectable touring agency.
How generous, they left one behind..
Finally, one common scam if you're crossing the border from Mongolia into either Russia or China is to be stopped and harassed by someone in an official-looking uniform. This person will attempt to inform you that you are required to have travel insurance in order to travel across the border and will sell you the "required travel insurance." This is a flat-out lie designed to trick westerners into giving up money for nothing. Don't do it! There is no such thing as required travel insurance, and the uniforms were probably borrowed, stolen or manufactured, and you already have a great WorldNomads policy!
Ultimately, crime in Mongolia isn't a huge deal. Just don't trigger local nationalist or xenophobic elements, don't keep your money where anyone can see it, use your head and your wallet and life will both remain safe.
Stealing your horses is a national past-time. Almost a guarantee if you are not with a group led by a Mongolian. I know two different instances last summer of Europeans buying horses and traveling with only a friend and no Mongolian guide. They were lucky to get out alive was the word they got from their local consulate.
Seems like the further north you go in Asia, the more dangerous the scams and crime become.
I am a Mongolian citizen as well as a lifetime resident of this country. The statements made in comment of this article are all, despite being true to an extent, are insidious and pessimistic in their nature, with a doctrinaire and opinionated depiction.
I have been raised, learned and lived in this country. There are just as many affable and honourable people as there are criminals, in fact, even more so. When visiting do not fester fear to a point of paranoia. It is not as bad as some make it out with embittered words.
Mongolia is an LEDC so there will, of course, be some faults but it is mostly due to the structural strain present in many a person's socialisation with the large poverty tarnishing the economy, as well as certain cultural transmissions among destitute areas.
Of course you must always have a cautious awareness and utilise the archaic tool of common sense and your brain. But with self-awareness and conscientious cognisance of your surroundings, there should not be any drastic or cataclysmic events in your visit.
Ask trusted or educated locals about particulars and small tips for travelling and figuring out the societal functions and dangers, to help. But this is something that will help you adapt to the culture, it is polite and should be an interesting experience for foreigners .
-Have fun and all my best wishes!
Mongolia is finally a good place to travel to, it was very pleasant time to work and live there for several months, it was amazing place and lovely people, safe and beautiful.
i was living in area near Lenin Museum, in diplomatic apartments, i was moving alone in all direction of Ulaanbaatar, no single incident happened to me (Caucasian), all what i can say i wish if i have the time and will to go there again.
I have lived in Mongolia for more than 10 years and during these years I have had a great experience. There are some thief but the police here would handle it . Living here at Mongolia, ub has encouraged me to not be worried if something bad is going to happen. Visiting the city is a good idea but the true nature is in the countryside. Mongolians have an unique tradition. During the summer it's reall hot up to about 30-50 degrees , well maybe from were you come from it may not be hot .
Mongolia has a magnificent nature and history . The nature built statues and places that have many legend are totally magical.
Mongolia is not a safe place. Period. As a Mongolian, I have first-hand experience. It's NOT safe.
Well in UB you have to pay the police for a crime report ans odds on if you get attacked and robbed the police will be close at hand to protect the thieves.
My robbery was all caught on Camera. Nota chance in hell the police would do anything and 3 days to get a police report without being interviewed!
I think mongolia has.. or atleast had by far the highest murder rate in asia. Viloent crime and assult are more common..
Alcohol is a big factor and in isolated areas its just a lack of police.
I have seen people carrying guns in some rural areas and when asked they said it was less for hunting and more to shoot robbers. sks and ak47variants.. not bolt action rifles. So there is crime but i think its not geared specificaly to tourists its just the nature of the country... generally id say mongolia is much better than kazakhstan or for crime and the violent street thug type is not so common. Gopniks ect.
And over the boarder russian parts are really violent. I passed through tuva and its is a dangerous place. The locals can kill for something small and most people carry around knives. In broad dayligh murder on the street of kizil is pretty common . Maybe one guy swears at the other or dosnt share the vodka.. or his cousin stole a horse 50 years ago. No hesitation just stab him bash his head..
But tuvans were great hospitable peopleand many are quit good natured so it was to understand how they were so lawless. Murder rate was 85 or90 per 100,000 its the highest in the world.
They just thought if you fight you got to kill the guy.. still in the medeival culture..
Mongolians just next door were not like this. Drunks could have a fight and let it go.. tuvans would know the other guy down and slice off his head and just hide in the forest for a few years till the police gave up.
If you travel with native person (Mongolian) nothing bad is going to happen.

Your Comprehensive List of Nut Butters and Their Health Benefits

chevron_right NEXT: 5 Great Things About Working O ...
If you're eager to eat more plant-based protein, consider adding nut butter to your menu. These healthy spreads are brimming with vitamins and minerals, and they're available in enough flavors to appeal to nearly every palate.
"The variety of nut butters allow us to have more options, resulting in a greater variety of nutrients in our diet," says Katie Hake, RD. If you don't love peanut butter and jelly sandwiches, there are plenty of other ways to eat nut butter. You can bake with it, add it to smoothies, soups and more.
Some research has shown nut butter consumption is associated with a lower risk of Type 2 diabetes in women. Other research found people who regularly consume nuts have a lower risk of heart disease. While the nutritional profile of each nut butter varies depending on its main ingredient, all forms can be beneficial to your health (for those who don't have allergies).
"Nut butters provide healthy fats, vitamins, minerals and plant-based compounds important for good health," says Marie Spano, MS, RD, sports nutritionist for the Atlanta Braves, Atlanta Hawks and Atlanta Falcons. And a little goes a long way since nut butters average about 200 calories per 2 tablespoon serving.
When you're at the grocery store and trying to look for the healthiest option, keep in mind you should look for ones that "have the shortest list of ingredients, because our bodies can process them better," says Sandra Arévalo, RD, a New York-based spokesperson for the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics. Try to find a brand that doesn't have added sugar, sodium or other additives.
Here, RDs weigh in on seven great nut butters to include in your diet:
This tried-and-true product isn't technically a nut butter, since peanuts are considered legumes. Nonetheless, it's the most commonly consumed nut butter in the U.S., with the longest history on supermarket shelves. It holds a distinction among the nut butters: "Peanut butter tends to be the highest in protein, compared to its competitors," says Hake. It's also rich in vitamin E, vitamin B6 and a number of minerals, including magnesium and potassium. "It can help combat cholesterol and improve conditions such as anemia [and] heart disease," says Arévalo. It's also super versatile, making it easy to pair with something like a banana for a well-balanced snack.
"Almond butter has become more popular over the years, due to its more unique texture and taste," says Hake. "Just two tablespoons can provide important minerals like calcium, iron, magnesium and potassium." It's also rich in vitamin E, "which is great for the maintenance of healthy skin, and contains copper and phosphorus which help improve bone strength," adds Arévalo.
Although it's technically a seed, this spread is "a great option for those with tree nut or peanut allergies," says Spano. "It's an excellent source of pantothenic acid, magnesium, phosphorus, copper and manganese. It is also a good source of protein, folate and zinc."
What's more, sunflower seed butter may be particularly beneficial for women. "Sunflower seeds have high amounts of B6 and magnesium that have been linked to reduction of cardiovascular disease, menstruation difficulties and premenstrual syndrome," explains Arévalo.
When you think hazelnut, you may be tempted to reach for a jar of Nutella. Instead, look for natural varieties without the chocolate, salt and excess sugar. "Hazelnut butter is an excellent source of vitamin E, copper and manganese and also contains thiamin and magnesium," says Spano.
This nut butter is also rich in folic acid and potassium, which "aids the production of hormones and helps reduce the risk of certain cancers," Arévalo says. "It can even help reduce high blood pressure."
If you're looking for a lower-calorie option, try pistachio butter. "It's a good source of protein and lower in fat than most other butters," says Spano. "It also contains thiamin, vitamin B6, phosphorous, copper and manganese."
"Walnut butter contains the highest amounts of omega-3 fatty acids, which are beneficial to both brain and heart health," says Hake. It can have a creamier, thicker texture compared to other nut butters, but pairs nicely with spices like cinnamon.
"Cashews are rich in many B vitamins like B12, B1 and B5, which help correct metabolic disorders," says Arévalo. "Pay attention to how much you consume though, because it is the highest in calories."

Your gutters play an important role in protecting your home. They keep water from accumulating and standing around your home. When you know the dangers of stagnant water, you understand the importance of taking care of your gutters. In addition, making sure they stay free from debris and in good repair!
Increased pressure on the foundation.
Are your gutter downspouts depositing water too close to your foundation and allowing it to stagnate? Are they overflowing and allowing water to pool next to your house? If so, that water can put undue pressure on your foundation. If you can see puddles of stagnant water around your home, that means the soil underneath is fully saturated with water. That heavy, water-laden soil can put pressure on the sides of your foundation. Consequently, this can lead to bulging or cracked walls in your basement.
The second problem with an accumulation of water against your foundation? Water draining away. If stagnant water has been putting pressure on your foundation, when that water finally drains away, your home's foundation can shift and settle. A settling foundation can lead to uneven floors and cracks in the walls or foundation. It can also lead to cracks or shifts in other home structures, such as your masonry chimney.
Stagnant water around your home's foundation also can cause excessive moisture in your basement. That can mean flooding in your basement during rain events, or mold growth along your basement walls. Dampness or flooding in your basement can damage walls and ceilings and ruin furniture. Even destroying flooring or any possessions you might keep stored there. At the very least, all of that excessive moisture can make the environment in your basement unpleasant. This causes damp air and a musty, moldy smell.
Stagnant water also can have a detrimental effect on your health or the health of your pets. Standing water serves as a breeding ground for insects like mosquitoes and flies. Mosquitoes carry a host of diseases that can infect humans, such as West Nile Virus. Plus, mosquitoes can infect your pets with heartworms. When you allow standing water to stagnate near your home, you are inviting pests and the diseases they carry into your backyard!
To prevent stagnant water from accumulating around your home, you need a clean, functioning and properly designed gutter system. Make sure you clean your gutters at least twice a year — or have them fitted with gutter guards to keep debris out. Also, watch for defects in your gutters, such as cracks, sagging and leaking.
If you notice that your gutter system is allowing water to pool and stagnate around your home's foundation, call The Gutterman of TN to schedule an appointment today! We can evaluate your existing gutter system and come up with a solution that will keep your home and your family safe from the dangers of stagnant water.
When you look up at your roof line do you see the beginnings of a national forest growing from the saplings in your gutters?
Have you ever been trying to unlock your front door when its raining outside and the water pours down on you from your overflowing gutter and gives you an unwelcome shower?
When you look up at your gutters do they look as if someone got creative and tried to stripe them?
If you answered yes to any of these questions, it means there is a problem with your gutters overflowing and water not being properly directed away from your home. It is important that you contact a gutter professional to fix the issues before you have serious damage to your home. Homeowners living in the Nashville area know all it takes is one phone call to the experts from Gutterman of Middle Tennessee and their gutter issues will be solved.
Gutters are designed to channel the water away from your roof and the foundation of your home. If you don't have gutters on your home, or if your gutters are not properly functioning, or they are damaged, the water runoff will pool around your foundation and cause major structural damage. Gutters provide a necessary function in protecting the structural integrity of your home.
The harm caused from overflowing gutters includes cracked driveways and concrete, flooded basements, roof and siding damage, and mold growth…all of which are expensive and complicated repairs. And of course, whenever mold is involved, it means a health hazard as well.
Other signs that your gutters are overflowing include a drip line or trench under the gutter area around your house, dried leaves/dirt/debris on the gutters, rotting or peeling paint, and/or gutters that have pulled away from the house.
"Unfortunately, gutter systems take more abuse from extreme weather conditions, particularly ice and snow, than any other component of the building envelope. They are also subject to damage from ladders and being stepped on, as well as from falling tree limbs and debris.", according to the Old House Web How To Advice.
Therefore, it is important to walk around your house and pay close attention to the condition of your gutters and the area adjacent to them. Look for streaks from water that has not been directed through the gutter into the strategically placed downspout. Water run off will leave its tell tales signs of brown stripes and lines both on the actual gutters and the sides of your home. Look to ensure that all the gutters fit tightly along your roof line and there are no gaps and the gutters are not pulling away from the fascia. Make sure that your downspouts are fit properly and are correctly attached to the gutter, the water is being directed away from your home, and there is no pooling of water.
If you are unsure of what to look for or see anything that looks suspicious, then call your gutter professional to inspect your gutter system and make sure is functioning properly and able to handle the run off in your area during all four seasons.
If you are in the Nashville area, Gutterman of Middle Tennessee is available to share or knowledge and expertise with you to provide you the best gutter system possible to keep your home protected from water damage.
If you own a home, or are looking to purchase a home in the future, you have probably been made aware of the importance of drainage. Draining excess water from your home is one of the most important things you can do in order to protect your home from damage and maintain the integrity of the exterior AND interior of your home. Without proper drainage, you could see water pool around your home that may damage the foundation. You may even see some leaks and interior damage. Rainwater from your homes gutters and downspouts may also be flooding your yard and property and soaking it making for a poorly maintained lawn. Simply put, you want to get any water away from your home and property as fast and the best as possible. What is the easiest way to do that?
A French drain system is a widely used method for diverting water away from your home. This type of system involves digging a trench along the slope of your property and covering it with gravel. In some cases, piping is installed in the trench to expedite the movement of water away from the home or structure.
There are a variety of benefits to this sort of drain system, all of which should be considered by homeowners. One of the biggest draws of a French drain system is that the homeowner can choose where the water is diverted. In traditional drain systems, the water is simply run off and away from the house, but with a French drain, the trench can lead as far away from other structures as the homeowner desires. Additionally, this type of system is cost effective, and does not require as much intensive installation as other types of systems. One of the features homeowners like best is that French drainage systems are often attractive. The trenches can be covered with gravel and decorative rocks that lead to a pathway towards your house. Having a drainage system that is effective as well as attractive is a real draw for many homeowners.
The International Association of Certified Home Inspection recommends a thorough inspection of any French drainage system installed in a home you are planning on purchasing. In many cases, homeowners take this project on themselves, but if not installed properly this type of drainage will not work and can wreak havoc on surrounding structures. Similarly, if you are planning on installing a French drain system, consult with a professional contractor or drain company to ensure the project is done effectively and correctly.
The Gutterman Of TN knows drainage systems and can recommend the right system for your home, as well as your budget. It is important that whatever style drainage system you use, you choose one that will work with the gutters around your home to properly divert water away from the structure, as well as any surrounding structures. The Gutterman will come to your home, look at your existing structures and recommend the best course of action. Don't tackle an important task like installing a drainage system on your own. Trust the experts to recommend and execute a system that will work for you and your home for years.
As The Gutterman of TN, I understand the desire for combining beauty and style with function when it comes to the look of your home. One way to improve the aesthetics of your gutter system is to install rain chains to protect the foundation of your home from soil erosion by diverting rainwater runoff from your gutters. Widely used in Japan for hundreds of years, installing a rain chain can add a bit of Eastern decor to your house. Rain chains can also play a creative yet important part of a rain collection system. I would like to tell you more about these attractive alternatives to downspouts.
Often mistaken as wind chimes, rain chains are generally made from durable copper that will become even more attractive as it ages with that classic green patina. Most commonly, rain chains consist of a series of cups or links chained together, and the rainwater travels downwards through the hole at the bottom of each cup or around the links. One of the benefits of a rain chain is the soothing, meditative sound it creates as the water cascades down the chain through each cup or link.
The Japanese use rain chains as a pathway to a rainwater collection container, such as a decorative basin or a rain barrel. By diverting water directly to a catchment device, a rain chain serves an essential function. If you do not have a rain barrel or other container for collecting rainwater runoff from your gutters, you can arrange for the water to go straight into a planting area. The Gutterman has experience with installing rain barrels with rain chains, and we know the best places to put your rainwater collecting system.
As the popularity of using rain chains as downspouts is growing in our country, you can find different types of rain chains, other than the traditional Asian minimalist style. Cups can be found in shapes such as umbrellas, watering cans, and flowers, according to the Mother Nature Network. When shopping for a rain chain, you will also see a variety of materials, including stainless steel and bamboo, being used to create the chains. Whether you prefer the look of a traditional copper cup chain or a whimsical, fun, and modern creation, you should consider all of the options you have when looking for the perfect rain chain for your home.
The reason why The Gutterman of TN recommends we install your rain chains is to prevent drainage problems due to installation mistakes. When rainwater is not diverted away from your home, the water begins to pool around the foundation. This can cause mold, mildew, a breeding ground for mosquitoes, and possible cracks and other damage to your home's foundation. We know the best ways and locations to install rain chains to save your house from drainage issues.
If you would like to know more about rain chains and rain barrels, contact The Gutterman of TN today. We will be happy to teach you about this way of conserving water and protecting your home from drainage problems.

Electric VW Crossover Coming to Canada in Early 2021
By Sam McEachern
Sam McEachern
Volkswagen has confirmed it will launch its first electric crossover in the Canadian market in 2021.
Speaking to Automotive News Canada, VW spokesman Thomas Tetzlaff said the VW e-Golf hatchback will be discontinued toward the end of 2020 in order to make way for the arrival of the new electric crossover in early 2021.
Tetzlaff also confirmed the crossover will fall under the automaker's new ID family of electric vehicles and will be called the ID Crozz. All ID-branded vehicles will ride on the automaker's new MEB architecture - a dedicated new platform for electric vehicles.
Life with an EV: 2018 Volkswagen e-Golf
VW ID. R's Fast Nurburgring Lap Used Less Juice Than Your AC Today
First Drive: 2018 Volkswagen Golf GTE
Test Drive: 2019 Volkswagen Golf
VW first previewed the ID Crozz at the 2017 Shanghai Motor Show, when it debuted a concept vehicle of the same name. The concept featured a 301-horsepower battery electric powertrain (consisting of a 101-hp front motor and 201-hp rear motor) and was described by VW as "an affordable and stylish electric SUV."
The first MEB-based vehicle, the VW ID 3, has already debuted in Europe and will go on sale in select European countries in mid-2020. The battery electric hatchback will be offered with two different batteries: a standard 45 kWh battery pack and a larger 77 kWh one. The 45 kWh ID 3 will be able to travel up to 330 km on a single charge (as per the generous WLTP test cycle), while the 77 kWh version will have up to 550 km of range on tap. It is powered by a single electric motor rated at 201 horsepower and 229 lb-ft of torque. The ID 3 is expected to be priced from 30,000 euros in Germany, which is roughly $44,000 CAD.
VW has no plans to offer the ID 3 in Canada, though its range and performance may give us an idea of what to expect from the Canadian-spec ID Crozz, as the two vehicles will share the MEB platform.
No matter what's in store for the ID Crozz, you can bet its range will be far superior to the e-Golf. The electric hatchback, which is currently the only VW EV on sale in Canada, can travel a maximum of 201 km on a single charge and features a 35.4 kWh battery. It produces 134 horsepower and 214 lb-ft of torque from its single electric motor.
The VW e-Golf will be discontinued to make way for the new electric crossover. 10/31/2019 5:31:59 PM 10/31/2019 5:31:59 PM

En la historia de los videojuegos, la novena generación de videoconsolas es un término que describe la generación de consolas de videojuegos que sucede a la octava generación (PlayStation 5 de Sony y Xbox Series X|S de Microsoft).

Estas consolas representan mejoras significativas en el rendimiento de las consolas anteriores PlayStation 4 y Xbox One, agregando procesadores gráficos y de cómputo más rápidos, soporte para gráficos de trazado de rayos en tiempo real, salida para resolución 4K y, en algunos casos, resolución 8K, con velocidades de renderizado de 60 fotogramas por segundo (fps) o más. Internamente, ambas familias de consolas introdujeron nuevos sistemas internos de unidad de estado sólido (SSD) para ser utilizados como sistemas de memoria y almacenamiento de alto rendimiento para juegos para reducir o eliminar los tiempos de carga y admitir transmisión en vivo en el juego. La PlayStation 5 Digital Edition y la Xbox Series S carecen de una unidad óptica de discos, pero conservan la compatibilidad con la distribución en línea y el almacenamiento de juegos en dispositivos USB externos.

El posicionamiento de estas consolas como dispositivos informáticos de alto rendimiento coloca a competidores como Nintendo Switch y servicios de juegos en la nube como Stadia y Amazon Luna como superposiciones de la octava generación de consolas de videoconsolas.

Historia
Durante 2019, tanto Microsoft como Sony anunciaron sucesores de sus consolas de octava generación, con planes de lanzarlas a fines de 2020.

Microsoft reveló la Xbox Series X|S bajo el nombre de desarrollo "Project Scarlett" durante E3 2019, con el primer vistazo del sistema a The Game Awards 2019, y especificaciones técnicas detalladas lanzadas en marzo de 2020. La consola está diseñada para proporcionar un alto rendimiento y soporte gráfico para trazado de rayos, con un valor nominal, un rendimiento objetivo de 60 fotogramas por segundo a una resolución 4K pero capaz de renderizar hasta 120 fotogramas por segundo y con soporte para resolución 8K. Además de sus propios juegos, la Xbox Series X admitirá retrocompatibilidad de software y hardware, incluidos todos los juegos de Xbox One, así como los juegos originales de Xbox y Xbox 360 que son compatibles con Xbox One, así como controles que son compatibles con la Xbox One.

Sony hizo un anuncio formal de PlayStation 5 en la Conferencia Sony CES en enero de 2020, y las especificaciones detalladas se lanzaron en marzo de 2020. La PlayStation 5 admitirá el trazado de rayos y la resolución de 8K, con énfasis en una costumbre, incluirá una unidad de estado sólido de disco duro (SSD) para optimizar la transmisión de datos para estos modos de representación de alto rendimiento. Se espera que la PlayStation 5 sea retrocompatible con las consolas anteriores y la mayoría de los 2500 títulos de PlayStation 4 y PlayStation VR debido a una arquitectura de procesador similar, aunque Sony está validando las diferencias de tiempo y las alteraciones específicas del juego que pueden ser necesarias.

Consolas de sobremesa

PlayStation 5

 es una consola de videojuegos de sobremesa desarrollada por Sony Interactive Entertainment. Es la sucesora de la PlayStation 4 y su lanzamiento mundial fue el 12 y 19 de noviembre de 2020. Es la quinta consola de sobremesa de la marca PlayStation y la tercera en ser diseñada por Mark Cerny. De lanzamiento la consola contó con dos modelos: una PlayStation 5 estándar con lector de discos Blu-ray Ultra HD y una PlayStation 5 Digital Edition sin el lector, además de entrar en competencia con Xbox Series X de Microsoft, en esta novena generación.

La PlayStation 5 utiliza una CPU de la marca AMD con la microarquitectura Zen 2, e introduce una unidad de estado sólido (SSD) personalizada diseñada para la transmisión de datos de alta velocidad que permiten mejoras significativas en el rendimiento gráfico. El hardware también incluye una GPU AMD personalizada que posibilita la renderización por trazado de rayos, soporte para pantallas de resolución 4K y una alta tasa de fotogramas por segundo, efectos de audio 3D en tiempo real y retrocompatibilidad con la mayoría de los videojuegos para PlayStation 4 y PlayStation VR.

Xbox Series X|S

Las Xbox Series X|S (nombre código: Project Scarlett) son unas nuevas consolas de videojuegos desarrolladas por Microsoft. Fueron lanzadas el 10 de noviembre de 2020, y entraron en competencia con la PlayStation 5 de Sony.

Microsoft declaró que Xbox Series X sería cuatro veces más potente que Xbox One X; Microsoft también ha promovido el "modo automático de baja latencia" y la "entrada de latencia dinámica" para mejorar la capacidad de respuesta. Algunas de sus características incluyen la incorporación de una CPU de 8 núcleos y 16 hilos de ejecución a 3,8 GHz de la arquitectura Zen 2 de AMD y una GPU de 52 unidades de cómputo de la arquitectura de gráficos RDNA 2, que ofrece hasta 12,1 teraflops de potencia. También incorpora una unidad de estado sólido de 1 Terabyte de diseño personalizado, 16 GB GDDR6 SDRAM y soporte para trazado de rayos (Ray Tracing) en tiempo real, procesamiento de hasta 120 cuadros por segundo y resolución 8K. También tendrá incluida una SSD combinada con un software optimizado para esta consola, que permitirá reducir considerablemente los tiempos de carga y de cambio de juego, según un test hecho por Microsoft el tiempo que la consola cambiaba de juego era de solamente 1,8 segundos, algo que se diferencia mucho de la Xbox One que tardaba hasta 12 segundos, aunque puede variar dependiendo del juego en cuestión.

4 different coloured fun and ironic notebooks, full of patterns and hectic and expressive geometries. Each side of the covers reproduces an illustration on its own, which is completed by its opposite. The Write Sketch & logo is reproduced in two different versions on the front and on the back cover. In this way the notebooks could be used from both sides, giving the feeling of having 8 designs instead of 4.
The size of the notebooks is DIN A5 with 64 blank pages – well, they don't have lining, but going along with the cover design there is a few millimeter print area at the edge with a nice black pattern. We love details! They are therad sewn and made from beautiful Fedrigoni papers in Italy.

Canopy Growth Announces Partnership with Martha Stewart
By Mark P -
The world's largest cannabis company let the world know they were making a big partnership with one of America's best-known female television hosts. Martha Stewart will now advice Canopy Growth Corp (TSX: WEED)(NYSE: CGC) on a new CBD-infused product line across multiple categories, including pet care.
Martha Stewart has a history of success in publishing, broadcasting, and merchandising, but also is one of the most vocal animal care advocates in the public space. The partnership with Canopy growth would see the award-winning television host help develop new products in the animal health care space.
"I am delighted to establish this partnership with Canopy Growth and share with them the knowledge I have gained after five years of experience in the subject of living," said Martha Stewart. "I'm especially looking forward to our first collaboration together, which will offer sensible products for people's beloved pets."
This isn't the first time Martha Stewart expressed interest in the world of marijuana. She filmed multiple seasons of a cooking show alongside hip-hop artist Snoop Dogg, who also is a major cannabis proponent, making a batch of pot-infused brownies in one of her episodes. Canopy Growth has already made a partnership with the Snoop Dogg earlier last year.
"As soon as you hear the name Martha, you know exactly who we're talking about," added Canopy Growth co-CEO Bruce Linton. "Martha is one of a kind and I am so excited to be able to work alongside this icon to sharpen our CBD product offerings across categories from human to animal."
Canopy Growth is backed by a multi-billion-dollar investment from Corona owner Constellation Brands (NYSE: STZ) and announced a deal with Sequential Brands Group (NASDAQ: SQBG), which is the company that bought Martha Steward Living Omnimedia back in 2015.
Canopy has also been making massive inroads in the newly legalized U.S. hemp market, promising to spend between $100 million to $150 million to set up the Hemp Industrial Park in New York much to the praise of state politicians such as Senator Chuck Schumer. Although the 2018 U.S. Farm Bill has opened the door for hemp-derived CBD production, the U.S. FDA will still be investigating whether to legalize CBD-infused food products in April.
According to a newly released report this week, roughly 7 percent of Americans are already using some sort of CBD product. Cowen & Co, the analysis firm that authored the report, figures that there will be 25 million regular consumers of CBD products by 2025, making it a $16 billion market according to BNN.
In response to the news, shares of Canopy Growth increased around 3.7 percent, continuing the week-long bull streak that the company has been seeing.
Canopy Growth Corp Company Profile
Canopy Growth (TSX: WEED) (NYSE:CGC) is a world-leading diversified cannabis and hemp company, offering distinct brands and curated cannabis varieties in dried, oil and Softgel capsule forms. From product and process innovation to market execution, Canopy Growth is driven by a passion for leadership and a commitment to building a world-class cannabis company one product, site and country at a time. The Company has operations in 12 countries across five continents. – Canopy
