January 23, 2025 by usatoday24

Firefighters in Southern California are tackling the Hughes Fire, which continues to expand, which has forced the evacuation of thousands of people in the region and caused the evacuation of at least 31,000 residents.

David Acuña, Cal Fire battalion chief, reported that, so far, no material damage or injuries have been reported. “As we progress through the day, we will be able to better evaluate the situation,” Acuña said. Red flag warning will be until Friday Meantime, The National Weather Service has issued a red flag warning that will extend through Friday morning for much of Los Angeles and Ventura counties.. The combination of Santa Ana winds and extremely dry vegetation creates a high risk that new fires could emerge in the region. David Ortiz, spokesman for the Los Angeles Fire Department, noted: “The Santa Ana winds are blowing against this fire, so we had that in our favor.” However, firefighters are still working hard to make sure there are no hot spots left that could be revived by the wind. “We continue to expect some dry moisture and then possible wind gusts up to 60 mph.”Ortiz warned. “It’s very dry. Any spark can cause a new fire to start and spread quickly.” The National Weather Service has issued a red flag warning that will extend through Friday morning for much of Los Angeles and Ventura counties.

‘Emilia Pérez’ breaks record for a film not spoken in English with 13 Oscar nominations

January 23, 2025 by usatoday24

Shortly after the devastating wildfires in Los Angeles that hit the heart of the film industry, a beleaguered Hollywood lined up this Thursday behind Netflix’s narco-musical about trans identity “Emilia Pérez” in the Oscar nominations. Jacques Audiard’s “Emilia Pérez,” a Spanish-language film filmed in France, dominated with 13 nominations, including best picture and best actress for Karla Sofía Gascón, making her the first openly trans actress nominated for an Oscar. The film also earned nominations for direction, original screenplay, two of its songs, and for Zoe Saldaña.

(Vianney Le Caer/Invision/AP) Netflix, despite its leading role in Hollywood, has never won the best picture award. Many of its top contenders have racked up a number of nominations, including “Mank,” “The Irishman” and “Roma,” but have gone home with only a handful of trophies. “Emilia Pérez,” however, may be her best opportunity yet. It became the most nominated non-English language film in history, surpassing Alfonso Cuarón’s “Roma,” which earned 10 nominations. Only three films — “All About Eve,” “Titanic” and “La La Land” — have earned more nominations in Academy Awards history. Another non-English language film that featured prominently was “Ainda Estou Aqui” (“I’m Still Here”). The Brazilian film by Walter Salles about the family of a politician who disappeared during the military dictatorship was nominated for best film, international feature film and had a mention for its protagonist Fernanda Torres as best actress. The musical, “Wicked,” the hit adaptation of the Broadway musical, earned almost the same number of nominations. The lavish production inspired by Jon M. Chu’s “The Wizard of Oz” earned 10 nominations, including best picture and acting for its stars Cynthia Erivo and Ariana Grande. “The Brutalist,” Brady Corbet’s VistaVision-shot postwar epic, also picked up an impressive 10 nominations, including best picture, best director and nods for actor Adrien Brody, Guy Pearce and Felicity Jones. The nominees for best film are the Brazilian film “Ainda Estou Aqui”; “Anora”; “The Brutalist”; “A Complete Unknown”; “Conclave” (“Conclave”); “Dune: Part Two”; “Emilia Pérez”; “Nickel Boys”; “The Substance” and “Wicked”. Alessandro Nivola and Adrien Brody in a scene from “The Brutalist”. (TIFF) In a very open Oscar race, the six most nominated films — “Emilia Pérez,” “Wicked,” “The Brutalist,” “Anora” (with six nominations) “Conclave” (with eight nominations) and “A Complete Unknown” ” (eight nominations) — met expectations. The biggest surprises were “Ainda Estou Aqui” and “Nickel Boys” by RaMell Ross, a drama filmed from the perspective of its protagonists that had been overlooked by many guilds in previous votes. Those nominees likely displaced some best picture prospects in “Sing Sing,” “September 5” and “A Real Pain,” though those films earned nominations in other categories. One of the boldest films of 2024, “The Apprentice” surprisingly scored a pair of nominations, for Sebastian Stan and Jeremy Strong. The film dramatizes President Donald Trump’s formative years in New York real estate under the tutelage of attorney Roy Cohn. Trump has called those involved with the film “human scum.” In the best actor category, where Stan and Brody were nominated, the other nominees were Timothée Chalamet (“A Complete Unknown”), Colman Domingo (“Sing Sing”) and Ralph Fiennes (“Conclave”). Notably absent was Daniel Craig, acclaimed for his very un-James Bond performance in “Queer.” In this image provided by Mubi, Demi Moore in a scene from “The Substance.” (Mubi via AP) Best actress, a category that Demi Moore seemed to have secured for her impressive performance in “The Substance,” also had nominations for Moore, Gascón, Torres, Erivo and “Anora” star Mikey Madison. What is perhaps the most competitive category of the year left out Marianne Jean-Baptiste (“Hard Truths”), Pamela Anderson (“The Last Showgirl”), Nicole Kidman (“Babygirl”) and Angelina Jolie (“Maria”). In the directing category, “The Substance” filmmaker Coralie Fargeat made it into the otherwise all-male group of Sean Baker (“Anora”), Corbet, Audiard and James Mangold (“A Complete Unknown”). Most expected Edward Berger to be nominated for directing the papal thriller “Conclave.” “This has certainly been a difficult time for Los Angeles, where many members of our film community work and live. But the past few weeks have proven what we already know to be true: our film industry and Los Angeles are resilient, and for nearly a century, the Oscars have brought us together to celebrate our global film community,” said Academy President Janet Yang. , before the nominees were announced. Nominations were originally planned for January 17. But after wildfires began burning through Pacific Palisades, Altadena and other areas around Los Angeles on Jan. 7, leaving historic levels of destruction, the academy extended its voting window and twice postponed announcing the elections. nominations.

More and more cities are saying goodbye to horse-drawn carriages for tourists. Málaga has decided that this will be its last year

January 23, 2025 by usatoday24

Malaga no longer wants horse carriages. That its City Council does not feel comfortable with the tourist buggies that still roll through the city is something known and that its mayor, Francisco de la Torre, recognized no holds barred in summer. What the coachmen who continue to exploit the 25 current carriage licenses probably did not imagine is the extent to which the Consistory is in a hurry to say goodbye to them. A few days ago De la Torre announced that his goal is to eliminate all cars this same yearwhich would bring forward the end of the concessions by a decade. Surprise to start 2025. 2025 has started with a surprise in the capital of the Costa del Sol. A few days ago, during the Debate on the State of the Cityits mayor announced that he wants this to be the last year in which horse-drawn tourist buggies roll through the municipality. And it was not limited to expressing a wish or a simple declaration of intentions. De la Torre revealed that the City Council is already negotiating with the coachmen who remain in the city. What exactly did he say? His speech It can be consulted in full on the Consistory’s website. And it’s pretty clear. “We have set ourselves the goal of completing the amortization of the licenses for the horse-drawn passenger transport service this year,” he says. the document. “There are 25 left and we are in talks with the owners to compensate them, since their concessions have almost 11 years of life left.” Animal welfare and image. The councilor goes further and give the reasons why the City Council wants to dispense with a service that, in reality, has been losing weight in the city over time. “We take this step thinking about the well-being of animals and the image that the city offers to the world. In 2025 there are much more efficient and respectful ways to move.” In case there were any doubts, De la Torre remembered that Málaga is already working on an electric bike loan service to reach 1,000 and more than 100 stations. “The sooner the better”. The important thing in the councilor’s announcement is not so much the substance as the tempo. That horse-drawn carriages have their days numbered in Malaga is actually nothing new. In 2018 elDiario.es published a report about the precariousness of stables, animals and workers, in 2023 Ciudadanos (C’s) presented a motion to eliminate the service and just five months ago, during an interview With the Efe agency, De la Torre himself admitted that the idea was to put an end to the carriages “the sooner the better.” The key: when. Although that was the slogan (eliminate the service as soon as possible), the reality is that the coachmen who continue to work in Malaga do so thanks to licenses that still have years of validity left. In 2015 An ordinance was approved that contemplated that the permits would remain in force for two decades, meaning that they would not expire until 2035. However, De la Torre assured in August that he had encountered “a certain receptivity” among the drivers to reach a consensus. The question remained as to how on track the talks were and, above all, when the buggies could be removed from the streets of Malaga. The surprise came when a few days ago the councilor revealed that the City Council intends for the service to be abolished now this yeara decade before licenses expire. And under what conditions? That is the great unknown. in summer the mayor I remembered that the 2015 regulation was accompanied by a plan to rescue concessions. And it doesn’t seem to have gone badly for him. If in their day they operated in Malaga 60 licenses and a decade ago there were 55 in force, today their number has been reduced considerably to remain at 25. The average price of the rescues has been around 35,000 euros, according to the data managed by Efe. Going into detail. Media like ABC, SOUTH DIARY and Digital Freedom They say that a payment of 120,000 euros per license would be on the table. ABC even precise that the sum would be paid in two payments of 60,000. The professionals who exploit these 25 licenses and have responded to the press recognize However, there is something that worries them as much or more than compensation: their future work. “I’ve been here since I was born, since 1998. I’m already 45 years old. Where are they going to want me?” he wonders one of those affected by the suppression of the service who also works with a license of which he is not the direct holder, as frequently happens in taxis. “I leave with one hand in front and one behind.” The mayor already has shown willingness to offer coachmen a training plan to find employment. Crossover of arguments. The debate about the continuity (or not) of horse carriages is more complex. In fact, there are a good handful of arguments both for and against. Their supporters allege that there are dozens of families who live off the service, the horses are “well cared for” and they wonder what will happen to them once the service is discontinued. “What’s going to happen to them? They’re going to the slaughterhouse.” Among the detractors, it is questioned the conditions in which the horses work or the image that the city conveys by maintaining the service and they argue, as De la Torre mentioned in his speech, that there are alternatives “more respectful” so that visitors get to know the urban area. To all this would be added a strictly practical matter: the high cost of cleaning and maintaining the streets, whose pavement ends up deteriorating due to horseshoes. Losing ground. Whether you share one position or another, the truth is that horse-drawn carriages have been losing space in the capital of the Costa del Sol. SOUTH DIARY remember that a few … Read more

an electrical grid that works 24/7 with solar energy

January 23, 2025 by usatoday24

We tend to assume that solar energy is intermittent, but there is nothing that petrodollars can’t solve. And Abu Dhabi is precisely the first city in the world to announce a large-scale solar plant designed to operate 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. The news. The pulse of the United Arab Emirates does not tremble investing what is harvested with its fossil fuels in renewable projects that will one day replace them. Its capital, Abu Dhabi, has just signed for 6 billion dollars the installation of a photovoltaic plant on a public service scale with a particularity. According to Masdar, the developer, it will be the first solar plant designed to supply clean energy 24/7 thanks to the combination of the Emirati sun, millions of solar panels and a huge storage system. The details. The huge project, participated by the state company EWEC (Emirates Water and Electricity Company), will combine a 5.2 GW photovoltaic plant with a 19 GWh battery storage system. Once connected, the plant will not only power millions of homes, but will be responsible for up to 1 GW of the grid’s base load, the minimum power required by the electrical grid that is traditionally covered by more stable thermal sources, such as coal. and gas. Alliance with China. As is happening in neighboring Saudi Arabia, the Emirates is strengthening ties with Chinese companies for this renewable drive. JA Solar and Jinko Solar They will supply 2.6 GW of solar panels each based on TopCon technology, which has higher efficiency and lower degradation rate. For its part, CATL will supply the batteries directly integrated into its HAVE storage systemwhich promises zero degradation in five years and a capacity of 6.25 MWh per container. POWERCHINA and the Indian multinational Larsen & Toubro will be in charge of the design and construction of the plant, which will generate 10,000 jobs. Green Emirates. The Abu Dhabi project, whose roadmap marks the start of operations in 2027, is framed in a long-term plan of the United Arab Emirates: the Energy Strategy 2050. The country hosted the COP28 summit, in which United Nations countries emphasized the urgency of installing more sustainable energy solutions. Sultan al Jaber, who chaired the summit, is also Minister of Industry and Advanced Technology of the United Arab Emirates and president of Masdar, promoter of the solar plant. “For the first time, we will transform renewable energy into 1GW of reliable baseload power, at unprecedented scale,” highlighted al Jaber in a statement.

the movement that shows that it is serious about mixed reality

January 23, 2025 by usatoday24

At this point, it is already evident that the Pixels have completely changed the Android mobile sector, in a way that Google could not achieve with the Nexus (although it is not that it wanted to). Instead of simply being the reference mobile phones, the Pixels are full-fledged competitors in the market, and the new Google Pixel 9 and Pixel 9 Pro This is how they demonstrate it. That is why the company’s latest move is so important for its future. In 2017, Google bought a good part of HTC’s smartphone divisionadding approximately 2,000 employees specialized in mobile development. The results of this multimillion-dollar investment have already been noticeable, with the Pixel phones, which since the sixth generation have used a processor designed by Google itself and which are already one of the most recommended phones in the Android sector. It can already be said that the investment of 1.1 billion dollars in purchasing HTC equipment has been worth it. Today, Google may have repeated history. Google announced today that it has acquired part of the HTC Vive virtual and mixed reality engineering team; The movement, which has cost him 250 million dollars, will be very familiar to readers of EL ESPAÑOL – El Androide Libre who have been with us for a while. In fact, the goal seems to be the same: to make it easier for Google to gain a foothold in the relatively new mixed reality sector. Google itself is very clear with the objective of this acquisition: accelerate the development of the Android XR platformalthough for the moment, it has avoided confirming whether it will create its own mixed reality glasses. Let us remember that Android XR will be released thanks to a collaboration with Samsung, which will be the creator of the glasses that for now have the code name Moohan, a collaboration in which Qualcomm also participates with its new chip for wearable devices. Samsung The Free Android However, Google has already hinted that this acquisition may have important consequences for its future products. Although the main motivation for this move has been to get HTC software engineers to work on Android XR, Google has also confirmed that it has received a license to use HTC’s intellectual property, and has even opened up to the possibility of “explore future collaboration opportunities” between HTC and Google. Therefore, the possibility of Google mixed reality glasses created in collaboration with HTC is on the table. An important detail is that HTC has not sold its Vive division to Google, and will continue with the development of virtual reality and augmented vision glasses for video games and companies, such as the HTC Vive Focus Vision launched last year. Therefore, this news does not mean the end of HTC in the sector, as the sale of its smartphone division unfortunately did; Although HTC has continued to launch mobile phones from time to time, it has done so in a very limited way and only in some markets.
