Sega Bodega, review of their album Dennis (2024)
Expert in creating immersive experiences more than regular discs, Mix Bodega resorts to his usual tradition of naming his works in the masculine singular to now present his third full-length, “Dennis” (24); a tubular and captivating exodus through the most dreamlike and experimental side of electronics that will make us question the fine line that separates reality from utopia.
Salvador Navarrete, the man behind the alias in question, let us know with his first previews that his intention with this album was to infect us with the confusion and bewilderment that defined his life a couple of years ago. And frankly, he could not have chosen a more successful color palette to portray and formulate in eleven tracks a mood as fragile, diffuse and unfocused as the one he recalls here.

Phase I of atmospheric environmental contingency due to ozone is maintained
The Environmental Commission of the Megalopolis (CAMe) reported that it maintains the Fase I of Atmospheric Environmental Contingency by Ozone in the Metropolitan Zone of Mexico’s valley (ZMVM)
At the 10:00 a.m. cutoff on May 4, the agency announced that the forecasts for today show that the high pressure system with influence on the ZMVM continues and that, when combined with the weak wind of variable direction, will lead to stagnation of ozone precursors.

Therefore, intense solar radiation and high temperatures of around 30 degrees Celsius are expected.
Likewise, the formation of cloudiness is expected in the afternoon, which can cause moderate to heavy rains in isolation. These conditions favor the formation of ozone, so it is estimated that the air quality will be in a range of Bad to Very Bad.
Due to the above, CAMe recommended that the population avoid doing civic, cultural and recreational activities, as well as exercising outdoors between 1:00 p.m. and 7:00 p.m.
Likewise, he recalled that derived from said environmental situation there are restrictions and exemptions on circulation in the Transportation Sector.

From dead chickens to diapers and wood waste in organic waste containers: “We are going to check incorrect sorters more strictly” (Sint-Niklaas)

Sint-Niklaas/Temse/Waasmunster/Sint-Gillis-Waas/Stekene –
Waste intermunicipal company MIWA, responsible for waste collection and the recycling parks in Sint-Gillis-Waas, Sint-Niklaas, Stekene, Temse and Waasmunster, will closely monitor the contents of the green organic waste containers in the coming weeks. Too often waste that doesn’t belong there ends up there, even dead chickens and used diapers.
“Gft stands for vegetable, fruit and garden waste. But we have noticed that many people use the containers to dump waste that does not belong there,” says Maxime Vanderhaeghen, spokesperson for MIWA. (Read more below the photo)

Up to 60 days: Why you have to wait so long for an MRI appointment
“We don’t have enough equipment capacity in Austria,” explained radiologist Franz Frühwald in the APA interview. The number of cash register devices is limited by the large device plan. The examination time has been shortened with new tomographs, but these are needed for more and more diagnoses.
Problems have recently been reported in media reports, particularly with magnetic resonance imaging (MR/MRI) in Vienna. Those affected have to wait up to around 60 days for an MRI examination in diagnostic centers in the federal capital, according to the social security online waiting time survey. The portal also shows similar periods for institutes in Vorarlberg, for example.
Rendi-Wagner measures from 2017
In 2017, the then Health Minister Pamela Rendi-Wagner (SPÖ) initiated measures to ensure computer tomography (CT) examinations within a maximum of ten working days and MRI examinations within a maximum of 20 working days, or faster in urgent cases. The situation for the patients then improved. The situation was different back then, reported Frühwald. All institutes had capped contracts and were no longer paid after reaching the previous year’s sales, which meant that the technically possible capacities were not exhausted.
“Now we have the situation where all the devices that are available outside of the hospitals are working at 100 percent capacity,” said the head of a diagnostic institute in St. Pölten. In more and more medical treatment guidelines, an MRI is required if certain illnesses or injuries are suspected because, for example, only one of ten possible diagnoses can be recognized on an X-ray, Frühwald explained about the increas
