Jose Juan Macias, who recently completed a move to LaLiga outfit Getafe, was also deemed surplus to Martino's requirements. Though Chicharito is recovering from an injury (and hasn't been called to the national team in nearly two years), the decision to not select Alvarez seems puzzling considering the depth of options. Like Lozano, Real Betis winger Diego Lainez remained in Europe, while the LA Galaxy duo of Efrain Alvarez and Javier "Chicharito" Hernandez were not considered. Both have proven to play a notch above their usual club level with El Tri, and Vega's impressive performances in Tokyo prompted calls for a European move.īeyond the aforementioned understudies, Mexico's choices up front are severely limited. Without two of them, we can expect Rogelio Funes Mori to play Jimenez's role, while Uriel Antuna or Alexis Vega might be called upon to replace Lozano. Within the confines of Martino's preferred 4-3-3 system, a front line featuring Corona, Jimenez, and Napoli's Hirving Lozano - the latter who remained with club Napoli - three of Mexico's most accomplished attacking players, is to be expected. Meanwhile, Jesus "Tecatito" Corona will suit up having failed to complete a long-rumored move to AC Milan. However, Mexico fans will likely have to wait longer to see the former Benfica man suit up for the national team, due to the Britain's travel ban relating to COVID-19.

![]() ![]() Polar bears hunt seals by waiting for them to come to the surface of sea ice to breathe. They mainly eat ringed seals, but may also eat bearded seals. ![]() ![]() Unlike other bear species, polar bears are almost exclusively meat eaters (carnivorous). Permanent, multi-year ice that doesn’t ever melt is more important to polar bears than the annual ice that melts and reforms every year this multi-year ice is increasingly rare, but will likely persist for longer in the island archipelago of northwestern Canada than in Alaska or off the northern coast of Russia. During periods of ice breakup, polar bears frequently swim between floating ice islands. These long swims and storms are also often difficult for cubs. However, if a storm kicks up during these increasingly long swims (caused by the warming ocean), they can drown. Polar bears are excellent swimmers, and they travel long distances between shore and the sea ice if necessary. They will spend time on land when sea ice is not available (and most pregnant polar bear females make their dens on shore near the coast). Polar bears depend on the sea ice, which forms above the open waters where their seal prey lives. Polar bears live in Alaska, Canada, Russia, Greenland, and some northern islands owned by Norway, such as Svalbard. There are some populations south of the Arctic Circle in the Hudson Bay of Manitoba, Canada. Most polar bears occur north of the Arctic Circle to the North Pole. The cubs would otherwise freeze to death in the frigid temperatures of the far north. Pregnant female polar bears must den so that their tiny newborn cubs are born in a warm protected environment dens can be 38 degrees Fahrenheit warmer than the outside temperature. The exception to this is pregnant adult females. In contrast, most polar bears have access to their food of choice (seals) all winter long, so there is no need for them to den. When grizzly bear food is covered in snow during the winter, this species must den because there is nothing to eat. Polar bears have evolved something else that is different from their ancestor: most polar bears don’t den, however all brown bears do. Unlike the massive polar bear, which can grow huge on a diet of abundant seals, its ancestor in the Arctic is small, has very lower reproductive rates, and eagerly eats almost anything that exists in its environment. The polar bear evolved one to three million years ago from the brown bear, which still ekes out a marginal life along the northern shore of the Arctic oceans. The webbed feet results in making polar bears, unlike other bear species, considered to be “marine mammals” along with seals, sea lions, walruses, whales, and dolphins. The wide paws prevent sea ice from breaking by distributing the polar bear's weight as it walks. Polar bears have strong legs and large, flattened feet with some webbing between their toes, which helps with swimming and walking on ice. The polar bear's footpads have a kind of “non-slip” surface, allowing them to get traction on slippery ice. The bear's large size reduces the amount of surface area that's exposed to the cold per unit of body mass (pounds of flesh), which generates heat. This is especially important while swimming and during the frigid Arctic winter. Polar bears also have a thick layer of fat below the surface of the skin, which acts as insulation on the body to trap heat. The skin under the polar bear's fur is actually black this black is evident only on the nose. The bear's outer layer of fur is hollow and reflects light, giving the fur a white color that helps the bear remain camouflaged. Many of the polar bear's physical adaptations help it maintain body heat and deal with its icy habitat. A newborn polar bear weighs only about 1.5 pounds. Bears can weigh about 50 percent more after a successful hunting season than they do at the start of the next most of this additional weight is accumulated fat. A large male can weigh more than 1,700 pounds, while a large female is about half that size (up to 1,000 pounds). Male polar bears are much larger than the females. They are about seven to eight feet long, measured from the nose to the tip of their very short tail. Polar bears are the largest carnivorous land mammals on Earth. ![]() ![]()

Mtn Dew exhilarates and quenches with its one of a kind, bold taste. Furthermore, Mtn Dew’s campaign for the Indy 500 also marks a shift toward out-of-home (OOH) advertising that had been dormant as pandemic lockdowns kept people indoors and disrupted daily routines like commuting to work or attending school in person. In December, Mtn Dew collaborated with pizza chain Papa John’s to sponsor the “Power Up, Play On!,” a livestreamed video game contest to capture the attention of younger consumers. Mtn Dew created a “lost episode” of “The Joy of Painting,” the instructional show hosted by the late landscape painter Bob Ross, to reach YouTube viewers. Many of the brand’s more recent campaigns have tended to focus on digital channels to reach consumers who have spent more time on social media or playing video games while stuck at home. Mtn Dew is positioning itself as a brand that gives back to communities. Mtn Dew’s campaign also has an inspiring message that should help to encourage good will towards its brand. With studies indicating consumers tend to favor brands that show how they’re supporting others during the pandemic, Mtn Dew is more likely to ingratiate itself with Indianapolis residents.

I have a Symetrix SX-202 (definitely high quality) preamp I used for acoustic guitar with condenser mics, but I couldn't seen to get enough gain from it from the soundhole pickup, to compete with the undersaddle pickup going through the Pod.

Most brands that do this are not open about it, even though it is legally allowed, but there are some that proudly proclaim themselves as being additive-free-you can find a decent list of these here. This results in what some unflatteringly call “agavodka," which is often infused with additives to boost the flavor. A diffuser is basically a giant machine that extracts sugar using hot water (and sometimes sulfuric acid). Of course, technology has advanced and many distilleries use more modern methods, replacing the tahona with a roller mill, cooking the pinas using steam in a pressurized autoclave, or even using something called a diffuser to “cook” the agave. The traditional method of making tequila involves harvesting agave, cooking the piñas (the heart of the plant) in an oven, shredding and crushing them with the tahona (a large stone wheel), and then fermenting and distilling the juice (or mosto).
