American Gymnastics Exemplifies American Racial Diversity

Fernanda Roldan. Peninsula 360 Press

Historically, some Olympic disciplines tend to be dominated by certain countries, which, in order to maintain the dynasty, have resorted to settling their selections with migrant athletes and willing to compete for the nation beyond the stereotype.

Such is the case in the United States in women's artistic gymnastics. The team that represented the country of the 'stars and stripes' at the Rio 2016 Olympic Games marked an unprecedented era in the sport of appreciation after winning the second consecutive title in the category, with a score of 184,897, and a margin of 8 points over second place Russia, 176,688 points, in addition to the 176,003 points that kept China in third place.

History also holds that among the already famous Final Five Three members remained outside the stereotype of American supremacy: Simone Biles, an African-American from Spring, Texas/World Champions Centre; Gabby Douglas, an African-American from Tarzana, California/Buckeye Gymnastics; and Laurie Hernandez, a Puerto Rican migrant from Old Bridge, New Jersey/MG Elite. 

The other two members were Madison Kocian from Dallas, Texas/WOGA Gymnastics; and Aly Raisman from Needham/Brestyan's American Gymnastics.

In an account of the U.S. gymnastics team's victories, one can see the participation of athletes from different backgrounds. The first team gold medal was won in Atlanta in 1996 by The Magnificent SevenThe most prominent of these are gymnasts Shannon Miller, Dominique Moceanu, Dominique Dawes (first African-American to win Olympic gold), Kerri Strug, Amy Chow (first Asian-American to win Olympic gold), Amanda Borden and Jaycie Phelps, 

Years later, another historic team like the Fierce FiveThe gold medals were also awarded in London, 2012, where the presence of Kyla Ross, born in Honolulu, Hawaii, was a highlight. 

Regarding her participation in Rio 2016 as an American athlete born in Puerto Rico, Laurie Hernandez mentioned that "I was just doing my thing without realizing that millions of people were seeing that I was representing the Hispanic community, but I think about the United States, I think about freedom and the fact that I am able to compete internationally and representing the United States is one of my best skills. 

In 2017, the winner of the silver medal for the individual balance beam competition encouraged respect for athletic conditions beyond racial origin. "I hope that after seeing the Rio 2016 Olympic team, they will realize that we have whites, Hispanics, African Americans. We have a diverse team, it's a beautiful thing. Fortunately, no matter what race or color you are, you can aspire to do something great with your life. You can do anything you set your mind to.

Within the global support that has the mentality of winning and imposing conditions, sport does not remain isolated; the need to send a message to the world about supremacy today implies that in one of the countries with the greatest problems of racism and xenophobia, they accept within their own people those who will possibly give them glories and make their anthem sound on an Olympic podium.

The Mictlán: the path of the dead in the Aztec culture
Listen to this publication. In compliance with sound accessibility.

It is known for certain that there are four places that occupied the cosmogony of the ancient Aztecs: The House of the Sun in Teotihuacan; the House of the Warrior Women and the Corn God: CincalcoThe Tlalocán or Paradise of the God of Water, and the Mictlán or "place where the dead dwell."

         These points correspond to the four cardinal points but, unlike the western vision, there is a centre on its three cosmic planes called Omeyocan where the creative couple resides: OmeteóltIn the centre of this central plane is the Huehuetéolt and, at the bottom of these plans, the lord of the underworld: Mictlantecuhtli and his kingdom which is the Mictlán or place of the dead. 

         This place is a spacious, windowless place from which one cannot leave or return, it is the place of the damaged, the house of darkness: the Yoa ichan or house of the night, the Yoalli ichán region of mystery, the Ximoayánwhere the flesh is. 

         To enter this site, one had to go through various sorrows which were generally located towards the north; however, it is believed that they thought there were also four entrances - in relation to the four cardinal points and there was also a fifth one located in the centre: Tlaxiccobut it was also common to hear that this main entrance into the darkness was at the western point in the cave of Cincalcoo Cicalco  which, as we mentioned before, was the entrance of the warrior women, the same direction where you see them disappearing every afternoon into the sun and where they live Tótec Chicahua and Hueman.

         The way to get there was mysterious and full of sorrows, but those who died were prepared, according to Friar Bernardino de Sahagún their heads were wet and they were buried with a pitcher of water because they should pass through: 

  • First, by two saws that are meeting each other.
  • Then, by a place where a snake is waiting for them.
  • Later, where the green lizard called Xochitónal.
  • Then, across eight moors.
  • Next, through eight hills.
  • Then, where the cold wind cuts like razors.
  • Later, by the River Chiconahuapán and cross it on the back of a dog Xoloescuincle.
  • Before finishing, by the place where the offerings due to Mictlantecuhtli.
  • And after four years, the nine hells: Chicunaumictlán.

         The gods that inhabit the infernos are like most Aztec gods, a duality made up of a male and a female god: Mictlantecuhtli and Mictecacíhuatl. The chroniclers know that his scepter is made of precious objects such as bones, skulls and ribs and that he used them Quetzalcóatl when he went down to the Mictlán to forge the dust from which it would form human beings.

         As messengers they had the Yaotequihua -messenger of the God and Goddess of Hell-, which are the owls and the technoloths which if they appeared in the bed or around the sick and that was an unmistakable sign that they would die.

         The Mictecas were the agents of the underworld, who were charged with preventing anyone who set foot in that kingdom from leaving. In addition, there were inferior beings dedicated to inhabit the suburbs of the underworld who had various functions that are mentioned and presented themselves as couples in their domains: the Ixputequewho has a broken foot; Nexoxochitlthe one who throws flowers; Nextepehua who blinds with ashes; Micapletacalli which is the dead man's box; Tzontémoc which is the one who falls on his head; Chalmecacíhuatlor the sacrificial and Acolnahuácatl the one in the crooked region.

         To Mictlán All those who died of disease, whether they were princes, lords or macehuals, those who did not die in the war, nor those who died through sacrifice to the gods, much less those warrior women who died in childbirth - considered almost goddesses; nor did those who died by drowning or some event related to water or burned by lightning, like the lepers. Those who had died by fire were not to go there.

           They thought that the paths taken by the souls of the dead did not depend on their behavior in life, but on the kind of death they had gone through. The Mictlan, more than being a punishment for sin, was a way of purification with which the souls found eternal rest, and one where there was no room for social differences as on Earth.

Texas, California and Florida, states with the highest number of votes

Peninsula 360 Press

With less than a week to go before the November 3 elections in the U.S., states such as Hawaii and Florida have already surpassed the voting figures compared to the same period in 2016, while Texas and California have cast the most votes.

According to information from the U.S. Election Project, more than 7.3 million people have voted in the state of Florida as of this Thursday, representing some 700,000 more votes compared to 2016, when some 6.6 million had been registered.  
As for party preferences, Michael McDonald, professor at the University of Florida and director of the U.S. Elections Project, said that "the early vote in Florida is confirming that the statewide elections will be closed. 

It should be noted that in the U.S. the vote is indirect, so the most important votes to win the election are largely in "swing" or "swing" states, such as Florida, which have a larger population and therefore more polling stations.

California, with 55 points, is the state that brings the most votes to the presidential election, but traditionally favors Democratic candidates; it is followed by Texas, with 38 points, which usually votes for a Republican candidate; and third, with 29 votes, it is followed by states such as New York and Florida. 

However, the New York state tends to favor Democratic candidates, while Florida, not having a strong preference, is a key state that can be contested by both candidates.  

On the other hand, McDonald points out that the first state to break the record of votes compared to 2016 was Hawaii, in dode have been returned just over 457,000 ballots, of the 795,000 requested.
While other states that are also close to breaking this barrier are Texas, with about 8.5 million votes, representing 95 percent of the 2006 turnout.
Followed by Montana (85.5%), New Mexico (83.1%), Tennessee (82.9%), Georgia (82.3%), Oregon (82.4%), Washington (82.1%) and North Carolina (81.1%).

By number of votes, the states with the most votes are Texas with 8.5 million, California with 8.4 million and Florida with 7.3 million. In total, just over 80 million people have voted in the US so far.

Such were the days of the dead in the Nahuatl world

The celebration of death for the ancients was not only a nametag for the fallen, but an opportunity to give life in death to those who had left a mark and admiration among the living.

Rober Diaz. Peninsula 360 Press.

The Day of the Dead is a tradition that has maintained its validity and now has a new boom worldwide. The vision that the dead continue to have a decisive influence on the destiny of the living and therefore it is important to show them our respect, is a tradition that various ancient cultures practiced. 

         The Nahuas continued to call out to people who had been important to their community and had died a dignified death as were those who were overcome by old age or sacrificed in the name of their gods. There were four places where the dead ended up: 

Mictlán or "place of the dead." This place was reached after passing many obstacles: two mountains that closed when the one who would be dead passed by, while being threatened by a snake, a place protected by a lizard called XochitonalAfter passing seven hills and seven moors, we reached a place where the winds were blowing with obsidian knives. They had to be guided by a dog that had to be red and were left facing the ChiconaumictlánThere, in front of Mictlantecuhlti, they offered him papers and clothes, in "the place without chimneys", Atlecallocán"the place of the flesh-eaten", the Ximoayán. 

Tlalocán"Tlaloc place". The equivalent of paradise, There is no shame and everyone eats corn, pumpkins, green peppers, tomatoes, there are always vegetables and summer. Those who arrive there were killed by lightning or drowned, the lepers, buboos, mangy, gouty, and hydropic. There were those who were torn away by the gods of human suffering. There reigns Tlalocatecutlitogether with their priests the Tlaloques and their big sister, the Goddess ChalchiuhtlicueThe goddess of water, the one who had the power over the sea and the rivers, the one who had the power to create whirlwinds and storms in the water. There she dwells. Side of the Ahuizotl a being the size of a dog that would submerge and attack those who had the misfortune to peek into the water near its abode.

Tonatiuh ichan"the house of the sun." Home of HuitzilopochtliThe warriors, those who died from obsidian and also those who were sacrificed, ended up there. This is where women who died in childbirth, considered to be defeated warriors, ended up, to whom it was attributed that after expiring they became demi-goddesses, Cihuateteo. Those who remained there lived on a beautiful plain where they became birds, hummingbirds, sacred yellow birds with black feathers that whistled at the earth, looking at the flowers.   

Cincalco"the house of corn." Governed by HuémacThe site where children who die in their early childhood and are buried near the barns will live, cuetzcomatlso that they would give up their life energy to the corn.

At the King's funeral Ahuitzotl who died after enjoying a great feast, once the mourners with their wailing, they would make screams and sobs. They rubbed the body and cried in front of the crowd to raise the tragic sense of loss. Shortly before shrouding the body, a lock of hair would be placed in its shroud, the piochtliThe body of the man, cut off on the day of his death along with another lock of hair cut off on the day of his birth and specially stored for this day in the same carved box where his ashes would be placed. Torquemada assured that this ritual was done because the soul was found in the part of the tuft, which had to be reunited with the body, the bone, that is, the ashes. The piochitl for the Nahuatl Indians contained the vital principle of every individual: their tonal.

            After they were neatly washed and wrapped in blankets, they were placed on carved mats and a jade stone was placed in the mouth of the deceased, Chalchihuitland he would make a speech. Later he was taken to his tomb where he was cremated or buried according to his social status; at the end of the funeral, the jade stone was collected, which they believed was guarding the Tonal, which from that moment on was called Quitonaltíaand kept as a symbol against ash, a sign of regeneration.

         After the death of the character, his domestic servants had to be sacrificed so that they could help their master in the misfortunes that would occur in the afterlife. With them, his red-haired dog was also sacrificed to help him cross both waters and ravines that were in his way.

         Once they were buried, a ceremony was held every year for four years where the mourners wore, in addition to the mourning of not bathing, much less changing, figurines made of ocote and paper. 

         The festivities that would be celebrated for each person corresponded, again, to the form of his death. While those who had to access the Mictlán a figurine made of ocote was made for them, those who went to the TlalocánThe mountains and streams to which they brought roses and grasses were closely related. 

         For the warriors, who were going to the house of the sun, Tonatiuh ichanThe celebration was much more provocative and particular, since it is known that they raised a very high stick where a person remained. From below, with some ropes, other people tried to pull the one that was on the tip of the stick. Down below he ate the tamales called "tamales", teoucallebread of God. What followed was a butcher shop where men were skinned and ritually roasted.

         Finally, the children who were going to the cincalcoThe "House of Corn" was punctured as part of the celebration of the coming feast. They were given small pricks with thorns in their ears, tongue and lips to prepare them for the feast that followed, that is, for the elderly dead.

Latino Vote Could Make a Difference in this Presidential Election

Latino Vote Could Make a Difference in this Presidential Election

Pamela Cruz. Peninsula 360 Press

With only one week to go before the U.S. presidential election, the pressure is mounting for the two strongest contenders: Republican and incumbent President Donald Trump, and Democrat Joe Biden, where the Latino vote could make a significant impact. 

Currently, there are 32 million people of Latino origin in the U.S. with the right to vote, and for the first time they may be the racial minority with the largest number of voters in the country, with 13.3%. 

This means that just over half of the country's 60 million Hispanics are eligible to vote (the smallest proportion of any racial group), because while the Hispanic population has grown rapidly in recent decades, they are not eligible voters. 

Unlike other racial or ethnic groups, many Latinos are young (18.6 million are under 18) or non-citizen adults (11.3 million, more than half of whom are unauthorized immigrants). 

States like Texas, Arizona and Florida have a large Hispanic community, so they are considered key points in defining the election, where at least 8 out of 10 Latinos registered to vote exercise their right. 

According to the Pew Research Center, registered Hispanic voters in the U.S. are expressing growing confidence in Joe Biden's ability to handle key issues like Covid-19, while Trump's is on the decline. 

However, unlike other registered Hispanic voters, most Cuban Americans identify themselves as Republicans, a pattern that could have electoral implications as President Trump seeks to regain the important state of Florida this year. 

That's because about two-thirds of Hispanic voters who are non-Cuban (65%) identify themselves as Democrats or lean toward them, while 32% is affiliated with the Republican Party. 

Nationally, 58% of registered Cuban voters say they are affiliated with or lean towards the Republican Party, while 38% identifies with the Democratic Party. 

Even Cubans in Florida have helped make the state's Latino vote different from that of the nation as a whole. In 2016, 54% voted for Donald Trump, compared to 35% for Latino voters in the state as a whole and 28% for Latinos nationwide. 

Likewise, participation among Cuban Americans has consistently been one of the highest among eligible Hispanic voting groups. In 2016, 58% of Cubans voted, compared to 55% of Dominicans, 49% of Salvadorans, 46% of Puerto Ricans and 44% of Mexicans.

On the other hand, an X-ray of eligible Latino voters in the U.S. shows that two out of three voters live in five states: California, with 7.9 million; followed by Texas, with 5.6 million; Florida, with 3.1 million; New York, with 2.0 million and Arizona, with 1.2 million. 

The states with the highest percentage of eligible Latino voters are New Mexico (43%), California (30%), Texas (30%), Arizona (24%) and Florida (20%). 

Texas' 20th Congressional District is home to 359,000 eligible Latino voters, the highest number of any in the country. However, Texas' 16th, 34th and 23rd districts, and Florida's 26th, make up the top five, each with at least 321,000. 

California's District 40 has the highest proportion of Latinos (80%) among its eligible voting population, while Texas has four districts where at least seven out of ten eligible voters are Latino: District 34 (79%), District 16 (77%), District 15 (73%), and District 28 (71%).  

In 26 congressional districts, Latinos represent 50%s of all eligible voters, the majority in California (11 districts) and Texas (eight districts). Florida (Districts 25, 26 and 27), Arizona (Districts 3 and 7), New York (District 15) and Illinois (District 4) also meet this threshold. 

It should be noted that the proportion of the Hispanic population that is eligible to vote varies greatly by state, with 71% of Maine's Hispanic population eligible to vote, as does 68% of Montana's, the highest proportion in the country.

Performance explores the impact of climate change on the disability community

Bay City News / P360P

The performance "We love like barnacles, Crip Lives in Climate Chaos", presented by Sins Invalid, is a show exploring the impact of climate change on the disability community.

According to the Sins Invalid performance project's website, the show is "a performance that centers our communities in the midst of climate chaos and our dying planet.

"From the storms that batter our coasts to the fires that threaten our homes, the social, political, and economic disparities faced by disabled queer and trans people of color put our communities on the front lines of ecological disaster."

For Maria Palacios, who performs under the name Goddess on Wheels Goddess in the performance, with climate change have come more hurricanes and fires, and people with disabilities are being left behind.

"Mother Nature is angry," he explains, "for this year's show, the narrative has become survival. It's become resilience. It has shifted to realizing that our lives are in danger, that people with disabilities are in danger of dying when the world around us comes to an end.

According to Palacios, the word "crippled" in the title of the program is controversial, and even within the disabled community itself, due to the negative connotation of the word, as it has been used as an insult.

But "in the world of disability culture, especially among people who are artists or activists, and who have become comfortable enough with our disabled bodies, we embrace the word crippled as something powerful, something that represents our reality, as something that represents and explains the oppression we have survived."

"When we say crippled as part of our identity, we do it with power; we do it with love. We may have to explain the word crippled to others, but we don't have to deny it. We do it without shame.

Sins Invalid is a justice-based performance project that supports people with disabilities, with a particular focus on LGBTTTIQ+ and Afro-descendant artists. 

The organization has been at the forefront of disability justice advocacy since its founding in 2006. It offers creative workshops and political education, and promotes leadership opportunities for people with disabilities.

Cases of children with Covid-19 increase to 800,000 in the U.S.

Peninsula 360 Press

Of the more than 8.5 million people infected with Covid-19 in the United States, nearly 800,000 are children, the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) said Monday, noting in its latest report that cases among minors are on the rise.

He added that only in the last two weeks (from October 8 to 22) 94,555 new cases were registered in children, representing an increase of 14 percent, from 697,633 to 792,188.

The document states that positive cases of children, for now, represents 11 percent of the total registered in the whole country, which means 1,053 cases per 100,000 children.

In terms of testing conducted, it was noted that children accounted for between 5 and 16.9% of the total statewide tests, and between 3.5% and 14.5% of the children tested were positive.

It is worth noting that, so far, hospitalizations and deaths from Covid-19 in children are very rare, as according to the report, only between 1.0 and 3.6 percent of the total reported hospitalizations were in this population.

Children, they said, accounted for between 0.0 and 0.23 percent of reported Covid-19 deaths, while 16 states reported that no children had died as a result of the virus.

The AAP conducted the report in conjunction with the Children's Hospital Association based on data from 49 states, New York City, Washington, D.C., Puerto Rico and Guam.

Presidential Election to Decide Future of Medical Care for Millions of Americans

Presidential Election to Decide Future of Medical Care for Millions of Americans
Pamela Cruz. Peninsula 360 Press.

The 2020 presidential election will be critical for Americans, as every vote will count in shaping the country's future, and health care is no exception, as millions of people could gain or lose their health coverage.

With just days to go before the U.S. presidential election, the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (PCA) is on the line to continue or disappear, leaving more than 20 million people uninsured.

An unfavorable Supreme Court ruling on DCA could mean that millions of middle and lower class people will lose their health coverage in the midst of the COVID-19 pandemic, which has plagued the country for months.

Thus, several judges from the conservative wing could invalidate in large part or in its entirety this law, which was pushed by former President Barack Obama and which is known by many as "Obamacare", after Donald Trump is urging them to do so.

If Democrat Joe Biden wins the presidency, he could even serve a term to expand health coverage to millions more Americans, thus creating for the first time a government health insurance plan as an alternative to private coverage for middle-class workers.

Even people who live in states that have not expanded Medicaid (the U.S. government's health insurance program for people in need) could be enrolled in that new plan, which would mark a milestone in public health issues by including those who have been denied service for years.

Thus, Democrats see Trump's new Supreme Court nominee as a threat to ACA, as actions that allow low- and middle-income people access to a quality health care system could be thrown away, especially in these times when comprehensive insurance is so necessary because of COVID-19.

For his part, and in the face of a possible court ruling to eliminate the DCA, Trump says he has a "much cheaper and better" program than the current one, yet the White House has not shown that the plan exists.

But if the Democrats are in office again, they will have to deal with an economic recession and a pandemic, situations that will make them decide how ambitious the health care program will be.

According to Democrat Joe Biden's campaign estimates, 97 percent of Americans would have health insurance with their plan. While the Urban Institute modeled a program very similar to Biden's and found that all U.S. citizens would be covered, 6.6 percent of undocumented immigrants would remain uninsured.

The Congressional Budget Office (CBO) estimates that six million uninsured Americans are not legally present, which means Biden's plan would provide coverage to 24 million people currently uninsured, if Urban's projections are correct.

So the future of health care in the United States is at stake and, in one of its most extreme scenarios, 20 million people could lose their health insurance; in the other, 25 million could get coverage.

In November, voters will have in their hands the decision of who they want to write the next health chapter in the country.

Twitter, cultivation of hoaxes in favor of Trump

Twitter, cultivation of hoaxes in favor of Trump
Christian Carlos. Peninsula 360 Press [P360P]

hoax
Maybe from the caló bul 'rubbish'.
1. m. False news spread for some purpose.

https://dle.rae.es/bulo

In April, strong criticism was levelled at now-runner-up for re-election to the U.S. presidency, Donald Trump, when the president suggested, at a public event, the injection of disinfectants to combat COVID-19, a disease caused by the new coronavirus SARS-CoV-2 - whose outbreak was located in an exotic market in Wuhan, China. At that time, the President of the United States declared at a press conference that if there was "some way to clean up, like an injection. It would be interesting to check.

This information was quickly distributed on Twitter; however, the company did not stop the messages encouraging people to inject household disinfectants, so much so that the New York Poison Control Center immediately reported a hundred emergency calls during April for ingesting household cleaning products. However, Twitter's action to stop and push for accurate information from the scientific community was overshadowed by Trump's statements, so much so that it became a trend with the absurd #InjectDesinfectant hashtag. Any self-medication without expert consent should be discouraged. If you have symptoms of COVID-19, please see a health care professional.

In time, Twitter clarified - via email - the Reuters news that the hashtags in trend had to be manipulated at will so that they would not be suggested on the social network; however, the damage was already done, but that was not all, the Twitter response supported Trump's "satirical" statements; in an official statement, the social network said that: "Context matters. Tweets that are clearly satirical in nature, that discuss or report on timely issues about COVID-19 that do not prompt action do not violate our rules.

With this, we can deduce that Twitter will not take action against false information that could cause physical harm to people, since it is up to the user to decide if the information he receives on this social network is satirical or not. It follows that Twitter is not there to verify whether the information in trend, like Trump's, is true or not.

This is important because, as Twitter states, "context matters". On October 22, it was revealed that Victor Gevers, an ethical hacker from the Netherlands, was able to access Donald Trump's Twitter account with his username and password - "maga2020!", in case you're interested in the data-, this lack of attention from both Twitter and the US president -which is in the spotlight given the upcoming presidential elections to be held on November 3-, puts at risk the strong public opinion with which the president influences the global context.

Fortunately for mankind - since Twitter will not be responsible for Trump's satire - Gevers "only" took screenshots from the @realDonaldTrump account. Obviously, this is not only the fault of the president of the United States, but of Twitter. Well, nowadays, Twitter, upon detecting an uncommon login, immediately informs the account holder, in this case, Trump and his cabinet... the situation becomes more alarming when we realize that the national security of the country that dropped the atomic bomb on Japan in World War II is also compromised.

On this occasion, Twitter did not suggest identity verification, as many of us who logged in are required to confirm; either by correctly entering the email linked to the account or the phone with which the Twitter account was registered. Neither of these things happened. This situation highlights Twitter's lack of attention and makes us doubt the role it -not- plays in people's safety.

In the end, it had to be Gevers who alerted the U.S. Federal Secret Service agency to please change the password and activate the two-factor authentication. The Secret Service welcomed the suggestion of the Dutchman. Twitter had nothing to do with the alert about the security flaws of the president, but as a matter of fact, in October 2016, the same Twitter account with the password "youarefired" was also violated.

An unfortunate tweet can lead to catastrophe. We're talking about people who successfully followed Donald Trump's instructions in suggesting the erroneous indication to inject household disinfectant. But... if Gevers had had other intentions? Surely Twitter would have washed its hands of it.

It is important to note that the United States, according to Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists "United States nuclear forces, 2020"In early 2019, the United States Department of Defense possessed an estimated 3,800 nuclear defenses that could be launched by 800 ballistic missiles and aircraft.

Sports summary of the weekend

Jimmy Garoppolo returned to Gillette Stadium to exacerbate Patriots' crisis

After the San Francisco Forty-Niners beat the Los Angeles Rams in Santa Clara last week, they traveled to Foxborough to take on a weakened Patriots, who have struggled since the departure of Tom Brady and are on a losing streak.

In the match the locals could not score any touchdown, because the two times they made themselves felt on the scoreboard was by way of field goal, which questioned the performance of Cam Newton, as the quarterback threw just 98 yards, completed 9 of 15 attempts and was intercepted three times.

For their part, the Bay Area team is starting to improve with a team that is gradually coming out of injuries. Jimmy Garoppolo, an ex-patriot, completed in what was once his home, 20 of 25 deliveries, 277 yards and a pair of touchdown passes, figures that ended in a lapidary 33-6 final.

Lewis Hamilton overtakes Michael Schumacher to become the most victorious driver in Formula 1 history

After winning the Portuguese Grand Prix this weekend, English driver Lewis Hamilton managed to break a new record: the most podiums won in the history of motorsport.

With his 92nd victory, the Mercedes leader accumulates one more than the German Michael Schumacher, who with 91 trophies held the honors. However, 'Schumi' still has the best record in terms of winning seasons is concerned, with seven, although Hamilton could tie him at the end of this session and overcome the next, because, for experts, is the most dominant driver with the best car right now.

Real Madrid beats Barcelona in the Clasico de Liga
