A certificate that converts any car into a luxury

In the city-state of Singapore, it is not uncommon that A Toyota Yaris Cross comes out for more than 120,000 euros. And it is that at the purchase of the car you have to add a certificate to circulate through its streets that It has become a luxury object. This certificate can cost tens of thousands of dollars, and it is mandatory to go through the hoop if we want to drive our own car through its streets. The most restrictive system in the world. Since 1990, Singapore forces its citizens to acquire a Certificate of Entitlement (COE) Before you can buy any vehicle. This certificate, which is obtained for auction every fifteen days, can reach 100,000 euros for vehicles with more than 1,600 cubic centimeters or 130 hp of power. The little ones require a certificate of about 72,000 euros. With this, the government intends to keep the car park below 950,000 vehicles throughout the country.

Fire and ash ‘converts the na’vi into their own hell

Pandora no longer looks bright oceans or spiritual jungles: there is fire, ash and a threat that burns from within. The trailer of ‘Avatar: fire and ash‘ It is now available and points to a conflict as we had not seen so far in the saga. What is shown is a brief advance, but enough to intuit the tone: darker, more visceral. The film will arrive at theaters on December 19 and will do so in premium formats such as IMAX 3D, Dolby Cinema 3D, Reald 3D, 4DX or Screenx. Pandora Arde: A new threat makes its way Everything continues to revolve around the Sully family, although the environment is no longer the same. We see the na’vi of the sea and the forest (the Methayina included) in front of a new threat: the Asha tribe led by Varang. That fire does not only sweep the landscape, he also redefines the conflict. What began as a fight between species now points to fractures within Pandora. The trailer suggests a more personal and dramatic story. Cameron again bets on a choral cast that combines known faces with key incorporations. They return Sam Worthington and Zoe Saldaña Like Jake and Neytiri, along with Sigourney Weaver, Stephen Lang, Kate Winslet and Cliff Curtis, in addition to young people who give life to the Sully family. The focus also moves to Oona Chaplin, who plays Varang, the leader of the fire clan. David Thewlis and Michelle Yeoh are also added. Behind fire and ash there is a vision of saga that Cameron has been designing for years. Avatar’s third installment is part of a colossal project conceived Like five films. The calendar has changed more than once, but the ambition remains intact: explore pandora by layers, clan clan, conflict conflict. What we see today as a new installment was born, in reality, next to ‘The sense of water‘. Both formed the same story until Cameron decided to separate them when he started writing. Pandemia delayed part of the process, but production continued and Avatar 4 and Avatar 5 They continue in the plan. Avatar: Fire and ash no longer only about colonizers and resistance. Talk about internal cracks that scale at new levels. The war continuesbut now burn from within. We will have to wait until December 19 to see history in all its splendor in cinemas.
