The fascinating network of “Arab Cuevas”

by

Brihuega is the name of a municipality in Guadalajara that may not tell you anything. But it may sound to you if I tell you that it is the ‘Spanish lavender capital‘. This town of the Alcarriaof just 2,800 inhabitants, multiply its population during July thanks to Lavender festival. But under the surface of Brihuega There is more, much more: Almost eight kilometers of tunnels that make up the largest underground labyrinth in Spain. Arab Caves. The caves, tunnels or galleries always have a fascinating point. They are natural or excavated by humans, imagine the stories that occurred among its narrow walls always have a point of attractiveness. Visit a mine, How can Almadén’sIt is always interesting … and a business. Capadocia with its secret citiesAnd tunnels knows it well, but it turns out that you don’t have to go to Türkiye to see something similar. Between the 10th and XI centuries, in the municipality of Brihuega, the inhabitants They built An intricate tunnel system. It is a complex maze of about eight kilometers in total that travel practically the entire subsoil of the town, as well as parts that give abroad. And, although they are called ‘Arab caves’, the symbology found in the galleries is not Mudejar. War and peace. As in this type of structures, they are naturally protected from inclement and a constant temperature of about 12 degrees Celsius throughout the year is maintained. This allows, traditionally, galleries have been used as a food warehouse. In some parts of the tour, in fact, you can see great jars that would have been used to store food or drink, each with the potter’s label that built them. However, they have not only used in peace times, and they will probably be initially built as an escape and refuge. Brihuega was a Strategic point In the face of toledo by Christians in the reconquest, and what allowed the tunnels was that, in times of siege, the population could escape outside the perimeter of the walls. Brihuega also witnessed a homonymous battle in December 1710, during the Spanish Succession War. Civil war. Let’s say that, in any conflict of this type, the population has an insured escape and refuge, and it is something that they also took advantage of during the civil war. During the conflict, one of the battles was to Guadalajara. In March 1937, the nationalist troops, with the support of Italian forces and tanks, tried to penetrate Madrid through the north. In a Televisilla-La Mancha television report, it is noted that there are parts near the breathing rooms that have soot on the roofs. They are the points where the population, taking refuge from the siege of the Italian troops, lit fires to cook and heat. Tourist interest. Currently, Brihuega caves are the memory that the history of some cities is not only on the surface, but unfortunately you cannot travel the eight kilometers of galleries. They have only enabled about 700 meters for visits subject to schedule and payment of three euros per person. The tour lasts a little less than half an hour and it is always interesting to visit these sites … unless you have claustrophobia.

North Korea tried strategic cruise missiles launched from the seaannounced the state press agency KCNA, adding that the missiles reached their objective with “precision.” The North Korean president Kim Jong-un, who according to the agency attended the evidence, said that “the means of deterrence of the Armed Forces of the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea are more deeply perfected.” The missiles reached their goal after traveling 1,500 km trajectories In the form of eight and elliptical, Kcna said, without specifying where the tests were carried out. He said that “there was no negative impact for the safety of neighboring countries.” This is the first trial of North Korean weapons since Donald Trump’s return to the White House. Shortly before his presidential investiture on Monday in Washington, North Korea triggered several short -range ballistic missiles to the sea. Trump, who held several meetings with Kim during his first government, said in an interview released on Thursday that he would contact the North Korean leader, which he called an “intelligent type.” Continue reading:• Historical Defense Treaty between North Korea and Russia between officially in force• North Korea enlists more troops and “suicide drones” in support of Russia, according to Seoul• North Korea and Russia ratify Treaty of Defense and Immediate Military Aid (Tagstotranslate) North Korea

This is conquering the key technologies of the future

by

The tension held by the US and China for more than five years is due to a very evident purpose: these two countries are disputing world supremacy. It is no secret. In fact, the government led by Joe Biden Openly recognized In the document that collects your National Security Strategy October 2022 that China has the necessary capacity and resources to dispute the US Its world leadership position. The following literal extract of this document reflects very clearly why the US government considers China a threat: “The People’s Republic of China (RPC) is the only competitor that has both the intention of remodeling international order and every time, every time Moreover, the economic, diplomatic, military and technological capacity to do so. The social, economic, military and technological development that the country led by Xi Jinping has experienced during the last two decades supports this conclusion. In fact, China is currently a world leader in five key technologies from a strategic point of view because of the relevance they already have, and, above all, due to what they will have in the future. And in other bids increasingly high. Even so, there is an area in which this gigantic Asian country still seems to be far from reaching a domain position: The semiconductors. These are the five strategic technologies in which China has already managed to lead One of the objectives of SANCTIONS TO CHINA that the US and its allies have deployed during the last two and a half years is to stop the development of the Chinese semiconductor industry. And to achieve this, the US governments, the Netherlands and Japan have banned their manufacturers of lithography equipment, among which are ASML, Tokyo Electron either Apply materialssell your most advanced machines to your Chinese customers. China is world leader in unmanned aerial vehicles, solar panels, graphene, high -speed trains, electric vehicles and lithium batteries Chinese lithography equipment manufacturers have the support of the XI Jinping administration to develop machines from extreme ultraviolet lithography (UVE) as soon as possible, but due to its complexity with all probability They will not be ready before five years. In addition, most semiconductor experts, including Chinese technicians, defends that China is Between 5 and 10 years more backward than the West in the development of photolithographic equipment. The country of Xi Jinping, as we have just seen, does not lead in chips. However, as we can verify in the graph that we publish under these lines, it is the world leader in non -manned aerial vehicles, solar panels, graphene, high -speed trains, electric vehicles and lithium batteries. This graph has been prepared by JOSTEIN HAUGEwhich is professor of economics at the University of Cambridge (England), taking as reference the data collected by Bloomberg Intelligence and Bloomberg Economics. This leadership position in these areas is the result of the “Made in China 2025” plan announced by XI Jinping himself in 2015. His starting point in some of these technologies, such as solar panels or practical graphene applications, was very solid a decade ago, but still there is no doubt that this strategy has been a success. And, in addition, it will remain in force to allow China to fight from you with other great powers for leadership in semiconductors, Quantum computers, artificial intelligence either Robotsamong other technologies that have enormous strategic relevance. Key Technologies of the Plan ‘Made in China 2025’ 2015 (real data) 2024 (real data) 2030 (expectation) Unmanned aerial vehicles Global leader Global leader Global leader Solar panels Global leader Global leader Global leader Graphene Global leader Global leader Global leader high -speed trains Competitive position Global leader Global leader electric cars and lithium batteries Competitive position Global leader Global leader Liquefied natural gas transport ships (LNG) Competitive position Competitive position Global leader medications Behind market leaders Competitive position Competitive position Great tractors Behind market leaders Competitive position Competitive position industrial machinery Behind market leaders Competitive position Competitive position Robots Behind market leaders Competitive position Competitive position artificial intelligence Behind market leaders Competitive position Competitive position semiconductors Behind market leaders Competitive position Competitive position Commercial aircraft Behind market leaders Behind market leaders Competitive position China’s domain is indisputable The “Made in China 2025” plan has a very clear purpose: cease to be the world’s factory and consolidate as THE MOST SUPPLIER OF SERVICES AND PRODUCTS high value of the planet. As we have just seen, the country led by Xi Jinping has failed to lead in integrated circuits, artificial intelligence, robots, commercial aviation or medicines, among other areas, but its domain of the market of solar panels is overwhelming. China’s quota in the world photovoltaic cell market Broken 80%and for the moment only India seems to have the ability to disturb him in the long term. Its manufacturing capacity is 17 times greater than the rest of the planet togetherwhich has encouraged the Chinese administration to support the manufacture of More than 1,000 GW in N -type cell capacity As the other countries fulfill their net emission commitments. Of course, a good part of Chinese solar panel manufacturers is selling to losses with the purpose of growing as much and as fast as possible. China produces 60% of the world graphite because it has the largest natural reserves of the planet, and graphene is manufactured from this raw material We are now with unmanned aerial vehicles. China controls 90% of the world market of consumer drones and professionals thanks to the success that in recent years are having manufacturers such as DJI (Dà-Jiāng-Innovations), FIMI or Autel Robotics, among others. The domain of this country of the markets of drones and solar panels is the result of a recipe in which the support of the Chinese government, the continuous improvement of the technologies involved in the product and Extremely competitive prices. In the graphene market, the same thing happens essentially as in the two we have just explored. China produces 60% of the world graphite Because it has the largest natural reserves of the … Read more

How wealth and land passed from mothers to daughters (and not to men) in Britain 2,000 years ago

by

Image source, BOURNEMOUTH UNIVERSITY photo caption, The investigation found several skeletons of women buried with valuable objects such as pots. Item information Author, Georgina Rannard Author’s title, Science reporter, BBC 1 hour 2,000 years ago women in Britain passed land and wealth to their daughters, not their sons, as communities were built around the female bloodline, according to new research. Skeletons unearthed in Dorset contain DNA evidence that Celtic men moved to live with their wives’ families and communities. Scientists found evidence of an entire community built around a family’s female bloodline over generations, probably originating from a woman. “This points to an Iron Age society in Britain in which women had a lot of influence and could shape its trajectory in many ways,” explains Dr. Lara Cassidy of Trinity College Dublin, Ireland, lead author of the investigation. Image source, BOURNEMOUTH UNIVERSITY photo caption, Archaeologists found well-preserved skeletons in the clay soil of Dorset. It is the first time in the history of ancient Europe that this evidence has been documented. of communities built around women. Scientists believe that the communities also invested heavily in their daughters, as they would likely inherit their mother’s status. “It’s relatively rare in modern societies, but it might not always have been that way,” Cassidy says. The team found evidence that this occurred in numerous places in Britain, suggesting that the practice was widespread. The communities analyzed lived around the same time as Boudica, the warrior queen who led a rebellion against Roman invaders in eastern England around AD 61. Dr. Cassidy sequenced DNA taken from the bones of 57 individuals from a tribe called Durotriges. People lived in Winterborne Kingston, Dorset, around 100 BC to 100 AD The skeletons were unearthed from a cemetery by a team of archaeologists from Bournemouth University, England. By tracking mitochondrial DNA, which is only passed between women, Cassidy discovered that most of the women in the community were related by blood ties that went back to previous generations. Instead, there was a lot of diversity in the Y chromosomes, which are passed from father to son, indicating that men from many different families married into the community. Image source, BOURNEMOUTH UNIVERSITY photo caption, The skeletons of people from the Durotriges tribe were very well preserved. DNA analysis also indicates that most of the ancestral line can be traced back to a single woman. The work shows that this society was what is known as matrilocal, meaning that a married man moved to live in his wife’s community. “The most obvious benefit for a woman is that if you don’t leave home, you don’t abandon your support network. Your parents, siblings, family members are still around you,” says Dr. Cassidy. “It is your husband who arrives, he is the stranger in the community and depends on your family for his livelihood and his land,” she adds. The researchers they found the same evidence of matrilocality in bones from other cemeteries, including those in Cornwall and Yorkshire. The researcher says evidence of powerful women in ancient communities has often been dismissed as isolated, not the norm, but these findings challenge that way of thinking. Archaeologists Miles Russell and Martin Smith found other evidence that women had high status. Image source, BOURNEMOUTH UNIVERSITY photo caption, The team from Trinity College and Bournemouth University excavated and analyzed skeletons of 57 people “We found tombs decorated with great care and with objects of great value. In each of the cases they were tombs of women, so we believe that wealth was transferred through the female line,” says Professor Martin Smith of Bournemouth University. The findings also support Roman writings of the time which suggested that women in Britain were quite powerful, more so than in Rome. But the Romans, like Julius Caesar, saw it as a sign of backwardness. “Women in Britain had power and it was a more egalitarian place. That was the biggest problem the Romans had with the British because Rome was a deeply patriarchal society. For them, it marked the British as the quintessential barbarians,” she says. Professor Miles Russell of Bournemouth University. Most societies today are patrilocal, meaning that women move to their husbands’ communities. But there are some matrilocal communities today or in the recent past, such as the Akan in Ghana, West Africa, and the Cherokee in North America. Scientists say Iron Age Britain may have been matrilocal because men were frequently outside fighting. Dr. Cassidy compares it to World War II, when women gained more political and economic power. Matrilocal societies are also less likely to experience internal conflict, he says. “They can promote feelings of unity between communities and neighboring towns. They disperse groups of related men, preventing them from developing strong loyalties and starting disputes with related men who live nearby,” suggests the researcher.

NVIDIA’s story is that of a survivor when all its competitors disappeared or were bought

by

In 1998 NVIDIA was on the verge of go bankrupt. The rivalry that graphics chip manufacturers sustained during the 90s of the last century and the first decade of the current one killed many of them. In fact, as Tae Kim explains to us in the highly recommended essay book ‘The NVIDIA Way’only the company led by Jensen Huang survived in a saturated industry that still suffered from obvious immaturity. During the second half of the 1990s, between 80 and 100 companies competed in the PC graphics market, as Kim confirms in his work. Some of them were well known to users, such as Matrox, 3dfx Interactive, S3 Graphics, ATI Technologies, Hercules, Cirrus Logic, Intel, Trident, Number Nine Visual Technology or Rendition, while others were fighting to make their way in a market whose size It was at that time much smaller than today. Tae Kim argues that only NVIDIA has survived for one reason: it is the only company of all those I have mentioned so far in this article that remains as it was at that time. Most of them no longer exist, and those that remain have either been bought by other companies, such as ATI Technologies, or have had an unstable presence in the PC graphics hardware market and have made a living from other businesses, such as Intel. Jensen Huang is where he is thanks to his perseverance and intuition In his book Tae Kim assures that NVIDIA has overcome the critical moments it has faced thanks to Jensen Huang. Many of the decisions this executive has made during his career have been guided by ‘The innovators’ dilemma’one of his favorite books. Its author, American university professor Clayton M. Christensen, maintains that not dedicating the resources necessary for innovation It leaves the way free to do so for other companies that can afford to risk and bet everything on innovation with the purpose of consolidating themselves in the market. Jensen Huang has always been attentive to both talent coming from universities and strengthening his competitors. Christensen’s teachings have inspired Jensen Huang and helped him define NVIDIA’s business strategy, but, according to Kim, the company is still competing today thanks to two qualities of Huang: his perseverance and his intuition. In 1998, TSMC, which already then manufactured NVIDIA chipsran into a production problem. The latter company was running out of money, but Jensen Huang reacted and convinced three of the PC graphics card manufacturers he worked with. “Our technology is good. We will give you a 10% discount on the IPO when we go public. You just have to give us some money now,” Huang promised them. And it worked. His conviction and firm belief in the potential of his products got NVIDIA out of the quagmire, but the recipe for his success has other ingredients that we cannot ignore: his intuition and his good eye when it comes to recruiting talent. Huang has always been attentive to both talent coming from universities and strengthening his competitors. The signing of Dwight Diercks proves it. Jensen Huang followed Scott Sellers closely before he co-founded 3dfx Interactive. When the latter company went bankrupt in 2000 and was bought by NVIDIA, Huang questioned Sellers: “Which engineers are really good among all those who have been part of your team? Who are the stars?“Sellers did not hesitate to praise Dwight Diercks. And he ended up at NVIDIA. Jensen Huang is the alma mater of his company, but it is clear that he is fully aware of how essential the people he works with are.

For Tarantino, there is only one trilogy that can be said to be “perfect.” Although it was not originally intended as such

by

Quentin Tarantino may be many things, but he certainly isn’t fooling anyone: neither ‘Star Wars’ nor ‘The Godfather’ are his favorite trilogies. It makes all the sense in the world that, watching his films (especially ‘Dyango Unchained’ or ‘The Hateful Eight’, but also ‘Inglourious Basterds’ or ‘Kill Bill’), the director has Sergio Leone’s Dollar Trilogy on an altarthe three films that completely reformulated the classic Western and launched it into a universe of ruthless characters and deadly environments. This is the trilogy composed of ‘For a handful of dollars‘ (in Movistar Plus+ and FlixOlé), ‘Death had a price‘ and ‘The good, the bad and the ugly’ (in FlixOlé). The international success of all of them generated an immense market for farms in Mediterranean countries such as Italy and Spain, which began to imitate them without any complexes, but their influence continues to this day. Today it is impossible to see a western that, voluntarily or not, does not have the imprint of Sergio Leone in its DNA. Tarantino said about her in an episode of the ‘Club Random’ podcast that did “what no other trilogy has been able to do. The first movie is great, but the second one is so good and takes the entire first idea onto such a large canvas that it nullifies that one. And then the third, ‘The Good, the Bad and the Ugly’, does the same thing with the second, and that’s what never happens. You’ll see this big jump from first to second, but they never get to third. For example, ‘Mad Max 2’ is not overshadowed by ‘Mad Max: Beyond Thunderdome.’” The curious thing is that Leone did not conceive these three films as a trilogy: Clint Eastwood appears in all of them playing a similar character, a man with no name dressed in a poncho, but it is not clear if he is the same person in all of them. Other actors, such as Lee Van Cleef, appear in several or all of the films in the trilogy, giving life to openly different characters. But the box office success of the films was such that United Artist distributed them in the United States as if they were part of a trilogy, given their aesthetic and plot similarities.
