The children belong to the Huitoto group. It believes the siblings escaped the wreckage and trudged through the jungle in search of help. These children are today the children of peace and the children of Colombia." Colombia's Civil Aviation Authority issued a statement regarding how the children survived. They themselves accomplished an example of total survival which will remain in history. A news agency said people from the Huitoto indigenous group in the jungle aided the soldiers' search.Ĭolombia's President Gustavo Petro said news of the children's discovery was "a joy for the whole country" and a "magical day". The children had been missing for 40 days when members of Colombia's military found them. Moments later, it disappeared from radar screens. Before the plane disappeared, the pilot issued a mayday alert, citing engine failure. The children's mother, the pilot and co-pilot perished in the crash. The siblings, aged 13, nine, four and a one-year-old baby, were on a plane that crashed in the Amazon jungle in Colombia on May the first. Four children who were missing and feared dead after a plane crash a month ago have been found alive and well. Nominally.An uplifting story has popped up in our news feeds.

Rationale: The limits in these figures represent safe levels of If you can provide standard 1-g environment, you should do that. There may be astronauts who can tolerate higher accelerations (and indeed, there have been tests subjecting humans to a week-long 1.5G regimen), but you don't want to stress cardiovascular system without need. Human G tolerance, like other physiological strains, is limited by different physiological factors at different levels of G stress. However, our esteemed fellow user cites Claude Piantadosi from Duke U.'s Center for Hyperbaric Medicine and Environmental Physiology. I have not found any studies of chronic high-G exposure (beyond 1 hour limit). Although no immediate ill effects were found, extrapolation of the data to longer periods may be dangerously risky. Human subjects have been exposed to continuous high-G environment at most for seven days at 1.5 G. It is hypothesized that the only acceleration that can be tolerated for looong time without side effects is the normal acceleration. ![]()

![]() This part, unfortunately, has not been updated from the previous Helios 500. Nothing you can do about that always lit power button and those massive status LEDs, though, both placed in the line of sight, under the screen, and annoying when using the laptop at night. In fact, the entire interior is fairly clean looking once you peel of the multitude of stickers plastered all around. The Predator branding has been replaced with more subtle Predator logos, and the one under the screen is rather minimal. Materials aside, Acer have also partially cleaned up the design of this 2021 Helios 500. The picture below shows the laptop after using it for about a week, I purposely took some pics before cleaning it up for the photo shoot, so you’ll know what to expect. The lid, on the other hand, is metal, and it does smudge and even scratch much easier. The interior deck, edges, and underside are all plastic, with a matte finishing on the arm-rest and around the keyboard, the kind that does an excellent job at repelling smudges and scratches. I haven’t noticed any flex, creaky noises, or anything of this sort during my time with this Helios 500. That’s because of the massive thermal module inside, designed to cope with the i9 processor and RTX 3080 GPU, but also because Acer chose thick and solid quality materials for this notebook, not compromising on the build quality in any way. In all fairness, though, the chassis has been shrunk down a little bit from its predecessor, and you can tell that by the narrower bezels around the display, but even so, this is nonetheless one of the largest, thickest, and heaviest 17-inch performance laptops of this generation. At 4 kilos for the laptop and 1.3 kg extra for the charger, you’ll mostly want to keep this on a desk and not grab it along during your travels or commute. Design and exteriorīuild-wise, this 2021 Helios 500 has not changed much from the previous generation and remains a thick and heavy full-size computer that makes no effort at being portable in any way. Furthermore, this article covers a wider selection of performance laptops with 18-inch displays. Lower-tier configurations are also going to be available for the 2021 Helio 500 series, starting at an i7-11800H processor, RTX 3070 graphics, and either FHD 360HZ or QHD 165Hz IPS displays.Īcer haven’t followed up on this series in recent years, but just recently launched a potential successor with the full-power Acer Predator Helios 18 18-inch notebook. ![]() Per-key RGB backlit keyboard, NumPad, 2x front firing speakers and subwoofer, FHD webcam WiFi 6 (Killer AX1650i) with Bluetooth 5.2, Realtek E3100 2.5G Ethernet LANģx USB-A 3.2 gen2, 2x USB-C with Thunderbolt 4, HDMI 2.1, miniDP 1.4, LAN, headphone and mic, Kensington Lockģ99 mm or 15.7” (w) x 320 mm or 12.6” (d) x 35.3 mm or 1.39” (h)ģ.98 kg (8.77 lb), 1.3 kg (2.86 lbs) power brick and cables, US version Intel Iris Xe + up to Nvidia GeForce RTX 3080 Laptop 16GB (up to 165W with Dyn Boost)ģ2 GB DDR4-3200 (2x 16 GB DIMMs, single rank)Ģx 1 TB SSDs in RAID 0 (Samsung PM9A1 drives), 2x M.2 slots + 2.5″ SSD/HDD bay Intel Tiger Lake, Core i9-11980HK, 8C/16T Specs sheet as reviewed– Acer Predator Helios 500 PH517-52Īcer Predator Helios 500 PH517-52 2021 gaming laptopġ7.3 inch, 3840 x 2160 px resolution, mini LED, 120 Hz, matte, AU Optronics B173ZAN06.6 panel I did spend the last weeks with an early-production sample of the Predator Helio 500 PH517-52, in the Core i9-11980HK + RTX 3080 150W + 4K screen configuration, and I’m going to share my thoughts and impressions of this series in the review down below, so you’ll know what to expect if you’re considering this behemoth performance notebook as your next purchase. On top of that, the Helios 500 could be more competitively priced than its direct piers, such as the MSI GE76 Raider or the Lenovo Legion 7i, but we’ll have to see about that, as the laptop is still not yet widely available in stores at the time of this article. This is a full-size 17-inch laptop built on the highest-end specs available at this point, with a thermal module to match these specs, and arguably one of the better displays available now, a mini-LED 4K 120Hz panel. ![]() ![]() Our BMW iDrive software update lets you individually update the software of your iDrive, letting you solve compatibility or other issues.
