The Danish ITV has suspended one in four Tesla Model 3 in one year and is a music that sounds to us

by

The Tesla Model 3 is, without a doubt, one of the most interesting electric cars in the autonomy/price relationship. Since arriving on the European market, he has played to stay at the level of the rest of competitors but always offering an extra autonomy and with the security network provided by Tesla superchargers. Year after years, Tesla sales in Europe They have continued increasing What has filled the car market that adds years. That is what has happened in Denmark, where the electric berline is facing the First mass calls to ITV. Last year, for example, they had to go to the periodic exams to certify the good condition of the vehicles Tesla Model 3 Buy in 2020. And the results have not been good. One in four The Tesla Model 3 arrived in Denmark in 2019. According to the accounts of ‘FDM Test & BILSYN’the main organization of ITV in the country, about 35,000 units of the completely electric Berlina circulate on its roads since they began to be sold just over a five years ago. Every year that passes, periodic inspections receive more and more cars in their facilities. Specify that in First 11 months of 2024some 28,000 electric cars underwent the ITV. Of these, many are units are a Tesla Model 3 that, four years after their arrival at the hands of the drivers, the examination of the inspectors passes for the first time. And the results have been extremely bad. As reflected in their accounts, of the 4,668 Tesla Model 3 examined between January 1 and November 21, 1,051 units suspended the test. That is, almost one in four units of the electrical model were left without approved. That 22.5% of Tesla Model 3 units that did not receive the approved one is far from the average suspensions between electric cars, which is 9%, according to the data collected by the country’s ITV stations. “This percentage is alarmingly high and reflects quality and durability problems in the first generations of Tesla Model 3,” they affirm from the association. The problems referred to are recurring in brakes, lights, axes and direction. And emphasize: “The Tesla Model 3 accumulated more than triple failures compared to other inspected electric cars. “ When talking about ITV it is easy to ask whether the problem is really in the vehicle or in the neglect and lack of interest of drivers. In Spain, for example, The most recurring failures Among the suspensions is a malfunction of the lights or excessive wear in the tires. The latter is not a minor issue. In fact, doubts about the little maintenance that must be done to an electric car has led some to wonder If the car uses oil or not. The Spanish Association of Collaborating Entities of the Administration in the Technical Inspection of Vehicles (AECA-ITV) indicates that, before going to the ITV, some of the simpler elements to review are tires. In spite of everything, we must not overlook that it is not the first time that Tesla is pointed out by an ITV organization. The Tüv Süd, the German ITV, also prepared its own report alerting that The Tesla had recurring failures and that Dacia won them in reliability. In that case, the German organism remembered the importance of keeping the car In the best possible state. They pointed out that an electric car also had to comply with minimum maintenance And that, again, the most recurring failures collected in the Tesla suspensions had to do with the tires and lighting. These are the most recent reports but already in 2022 The OCU pointed to Tesla as one of the least reliable brands of the market. And JD Power, a specialist in this type of reports in the United States, showed the same results in 2023. While Japanese brands occupied the first positions, Tesla was one of the least reliable manufacturers. Photo | Tesla In Xataka | The Tesla Model and should be the change of paradigm in Europe.

Getting an infusion with olive leaves sounds very good and healthy. Science has much more doubts about it

by

Olive oil is a fundamental ingredient In the Mediterranean diet. Spain is one of the great producers That, for years, he focused on being a large world producer of consumer oil, Leaving Italy The high ranges. That changed a few months agobut of course: in addition to olive or olives, we have to talk about by -products, Like the bone or the leaves. With them, we can make infusions, buy bread with embedded leaves and in the herbalists and brands Its multiple benefits are cited. But science is not done alone, and researchers have tested these properties of olive leaf infusions. Oleuropein. All those supposed benefits of the infusions of the olive leaf come from the hand of an antioxidant called oleuropein. This is the majority phenolic component of the pulp of green olives and is the one that gives a certain bitter taste in extra virgin olive oils. It turns out that it is also a main component of the olive leaves. In 2011 a study and it was stated that this antioxidant could show antifibrotic and anti -inflammatory effects. The interesting thing is that the oleuropein concentration depends on the color of the leaf: the greener, the more oleuropein it contains, so the leaves collected in spring have higher levels compared to those collected at another time of the year. The studies. These properties such as antioxidant have led us to consume the infusion sheets, but … are they really safe and healthy? In The Conversation we can see two recent studies. One of them, of 2022, combined data from 12 experimental studies in which 819 people participated, concluding that the olive leaf extract (managed in capsules with dose of between 500 milligrams and 5 grams during periods of six to six 48 weeks) improved heart disease risk factors and reducing blood pressure. Data. In people with high blood pressure, the effects were greater. In a study More recent, from 2024, data from other experimental studies with a sample of 703 participants were again studied. The doses were this time between 250 and 1,000 mg -very minors -, administered in capsules or incorporated into the PAN. Some of the participants had high and overweight blood pressure, but others were in healthy parameters. Significant benefits were observed in blood glucose control and a reduction in blood pressure, but when all data crossed, no significant effects were appreciated and it was indicated that it was necessary to continue investigating. Safe levels. In these cases, we are talking about an “the olive leaf can improve the hypotensive effect, since, as we say, it is not a certainty and we must continue to investigate. But something that studies seem to coincide is that, a daily supplementation of this extract, with a dose of a gram per day, has no adverse effects or contraindications. What is indicated in others studies It would be good for pregnant and infant women to avoid consumption, since effectiveness and safety have not been proven during this phase. Toxicity. It is interesting, however, that some cases of aggressiveness have been reported after excessive consumption. It is suspected that a high dose, 85 mg/kg of body weight, is toxic, causing an event similar to that of an excess of dopamine, taking a 67 -year -old woman to aggressive behavior. This woman took 5.5 grams of dry olive leaf per day to treat hay fever, experiencing changes in mood and the aforementioned aggressive behavior after intake. Researchers think that the culprit is hydroxythritic, a component of the olive leaf extract that has a structure similar to dopamine, altering levels. It is still an isolated case, but there it is. Head. Therefore, that olive leaf is sold to make infusions is not negative, because the effects as an antioxidant in our body are there, but the usual thing is important: to have head and common sense so as not to self -medicate with chemical drugs … or with natural remedies with remedies . Are they healthy? Yes, in small doses, but of course they do not replace medicines and treatments made by professionals. And, if they love each other Take as a complementit can be infused, but also in smoothies or as a salad and bread complement.

Frank Black celebrated the anniversary of an album that sounds better than ever now

by

Regarding the grooves of his first album, Black changed things a bit in relation to what he had offered a couple of days before at the Fillmore in San Francisco; not in terms of the presence of the chosen songs, but in the order in which he presented them, because instead of performing “Los Angeles” in the first part of the concert, before launching into the entire “Teenager of the Year”, he left the piece for the closing segment. He did so with full knowledge that this is a cut that, for natural reasons, occupies a special place among his local fans, even though the lyrics seem to hint somewhat maliciously that he is referring to “another Los Angeles.” Before playing it, the host of the evening, who keeps his distinctive voice intact, introduced the musicians who accompanied him, almost all of whom came from our city; and at other times, he mentioned some of the experiences he has had in Southern California, implying the appreciation he has for a place where he has spent a lot of time. But he did not talk about the current fires, which could have left any casual viewer stunned, but which makes sense when it comes to an artist little inclined to public sentimental manifestations and even physical movement on stage. It was also appropriate that he ended the concert with “I Heard Ramona Sing”, another song from the debut album that attracted attention from its premiere for its catchy nature, and which once again achieved notoriety seven years later due to its inclusion in the band. soundtrack of “Scott Pilgrim vs. the World”, a film with which it had nothing to do (beyond the fact that the main character was in an ‘indie’ band), but whose female protagonist was precisely named Ramona. Made up mostly of the personnel who recorded “Teenager” – that is, bassist and keyboardist Eric Drew Feldman (who also produced the work), guitarist Lyle Workman and drummer Nick Vincent -, and with the addition of multi-instrumentalist Rob Laufer , Black’s band for the occasion naturally offered a particularly faithful interpretation of the plate; and he did the same with the cuts from the first album that were heard, in which Feldman and Vincent also participated. Aside from one mistake or another, the musicians established an impressive unity that was even more remarkable given that, outside of the two previous dates in the city of San Francisco, they had not really played together in a long, long time. And all they had to do was dedicate themselves to their thing, without fuss of any kind, to give life to an unforgettable night.

The “Finnish trick” to insulate your house from the cold by hand sounds great. Has major leaks

by

We all know those videos that started on Facebook and reached TikTok of fixes or repairs in less than five minutes. Some were useful, others logic itself told you that it couldn’t be like that. In this line and with the arrival of the cold, ingenuity sharpens, last winter the trick was simple: Use a plastic film that adheres to the window frame and is sealed with tape, creating an additional layer of insulation. However, they have now changed it to a Finnish trick that uses bubble wrap. Finnish trick. The trick consists of using bubble wrap as insulation for windows during winter. By spraying water on the glass and placing the smooth side of the plastic, the bubbles act as a layer of air that improves thermal insulation, reducing cold entry and heat loss. It’s a cheap and easy solution, although visibility will be somewhat blurry. You can keep it all winter if placed correctly. But is it safe or recommended? A video taken from social networks must be taken with a grain of salt, because we do not know if it really works. In this case, the trick can offer A temporary, economical and easy solution to improve the insulation in windows. In this Finnish trick, the efficiency lies in the layer of air trapped inside the bubbles, which acts as a thermal insulator. However, this method is not a long-term option and can become damaged over time if not installed properly. Along those same lines, the use of plastic and poor installation can cause humidity between the plastic and the window, favoring the appearance of mold. In addition, you have to seal the material with tape, which can cause air leaks. Although the technique may be useful as a quick or temporary solution, it should not be considered a replacement for more effective and permanent methods of isolation. Alternatives without reforms. Among the different options, the most popular is the use of thermal insulation window films, which offer a more resistant barrier to the cold without compromising visibility. These easy-to-install films cling to windows and create an insulating layer of air, but unlike bubble wrap, they are thinner and less prone to damage. In the same line is the sealing of windows and doors with weather stripping or special tapes that prevent air leaks. For their part, without the need to carry out a renovation, there are thermal curtains, which can be a simple solution to keep the heat inside the rooms, since they are designed to block the cold outside and maintain the inside temperature. Invest money. Now if your goal is to continue improving your home, then install double-glazed windows, because they offer superior insulation and reduce heat loss and the entry of outside noise. And if you are going to continue investing, another alternative is gas condensing boilers, which can reduce energy consumption while reducing CO2 emissions. The impact of plastic. While the hacks circulating on TikTok, like this one from Finland, may seem like clever and inexpensive solutions to dealing with the cold, it’s important to consider their environmental impact. Excessive use of plastic, even in small quantities, contributes to the growing waste problem. For this reason, although these ideas may be effective in the short term, we must be responsible when using it and think about the long-term environmental impact.
