Very few countries in the world are dedicated to the industrial production of avocados. Now an unexpected one has joined: Japan

by

Tsutomu Uchida is 64 years old, is a retired entrepreneur and for a while now He spends hours working on a plot located in the Shizuoka districtwhere different cultivation techniques prove. So far unusual. The funny thing is that Uchida is not dedicated to Plant riceneither soy nor Mikana very popular citrus in the region. No. His interest has little to do with traditional vegetables. What is trying to grow since 2020 are avocados, a plant that wakes up more interest in Japanese agriculture. The reason: the market … and climate change. What happened? That in Japan, Rice landcherries and citrus, there are farmers who begin to Look with interest A new variety of crop, a very popular in other latitudes but that has so far had an almost testimonial weight in the country of the rising sun: avocado. And the most curious thing is what that curiosity is awakening. Beyond the growing Internal demand or the Production increase Worldwide, the factor that has led Japanese farmers to plant avocados is climate change. Shizuoka avocado. The news I advanced it A few days ago The Japan Times: More and more farmers in Shizuoka Prefecture show interest in avocados. The phenomenon is curious for several reasons. First, because the traditional cultivation of that region is another good, the Mikana citrus similar to mandarin. The second reason is that this interest It is promoted by local authorities. Shizuoka Prefecture has just activated a triennial plan that aspires, among other goals, to develop cultivation techniques and sales channels focused on avocado. With that purpose the institution plans to invest over the coming months 18 million yen (about 100,000 euros) in investigations to improve local production. Putting his head. If everything goes as planned, in three years you will publish a manual for farmers. It may seem like a modest initiative, but it is quite significant: Shizuoka is one of the main producing regions of Mikan From Japan and right now the avocado cultivation in the country is very small. According to the Ministry of Agriculture, in 2022 there were hardly any 34 tons who came out above all from Saga, Ehime and Wakayama, territories that (exact!) have always stood out for their citrus. TEMPERATURES QUESTION. The most curious thing is that this growing interest in avocado is not explained only for its internal demand or market prospects. At stake there is another equal or even more relevant factor for Japanese farmers: climate change. Their effects already They let themselves feel in the Rice crops and They threaten to punish to much of the plantations of Mikan of the country while They favor to those of avocado, a tree originally from Mesoamerica. “We cannot simply advance complaining about the negative impact of change on the agricultural environment. We are trying to convert this adversity into an opportunity and make the most of it,” Recognize to The Japan Times Yuji Hirano, responsible for agricultural strategies in the government of Shizuoka. With that clear idea, the prefecture probes the pros and cons of betting on a dozen subtropical crops in the region. Among them there was one that stood out for their “pull” in the market and that could also be favored by the weather: the avocado. But … what are they based on? In forecasts that draw such a promising scenario for avocado as a funeral for the Mikan. In March the National Organization for Agricultural and Food Research (Naro) public A report in which he warns that the future of citrus in Japan “will depend largely” on greenhouse gas emissions while avocado suitable areas could expand its current size more than 2.5 times by the middle of the century. An uncertain horizon. Nikkei It goes further And he warns that climate change can make that at the end of the Japanese century find that 80% of the areas that are right now for the cultivation of tangerines cease to be. With the land suitable for avocado plantations, a subtropical fruit, the opposite would happen: they would multiply by 7.7. “Maybe you think that a temperature difference of 1ºC does not mean much,” Clarify Toshihiko Sugiura, from Naro. “But for him Mikan It makes the difference. “ Hence the scenario can vary greatly depending on what happens in the coming years. If for 2100 the temperature rise does not exceed 1.4ºC the country may keep 80% of the current surface destined for Mikan. If the increase is 4.3ºC as soon as any. However, and although the increase in temperatures may make it easier, the avocado is not guaranteed in Japan either: the winter cold waves would mean a serious threat. The other key: the market. The other factor that explains Shizuoka’s interest in avocado should be sought in the market. The Japan Times remember that today the fruit is much more popular in the Japanese fruit shops than a few decades ago. And the data show it. In 1988, only 3,400 tons were imported. In 2020 there were already 80,000. That boom coincided with an increasing exposure of the fruit in the country’s media, which began to highlight its nutritional value as “superfiment” rich in vitamins and fiber. Today the avocado is already integrated from the diet of many Japanese and it is easy to find in supermarkets, although the nation basically depends on imports. The vast majority (at least in 2020) comes from Mexico, where they start around 85% of importsand Peru, which brings together about 11%. National production is scarce and is sold at prices greater than foreign fruit.

There are people asking Chatgpt how to inject Botox themselves

by

There are people injecting Botox and Hyaluronic acid themselves, in their homes. But there is not the thing. Some of them are asking chatgpt advice to know where to inject, how depth or what materials they should use. We have seen how there is people going to chatgpt instead of the doctor And there are even those who use them to Write medical studiesbut asking him how to fill his lips we didn’t see him come. What’s happening. They tell it in Futurism. In a Reddit community called DIYAESTHETICSusers share their experiences and exchange advice when carrying out medical-aesthetic procedures in their homes. There are a few who support Chatgpt to guide them. This user He used it to know if he should wear gloves while injected. In none of the 16 responses they shave the fact of having asked the AI. In fact, many other threads in this community mention similar things. In the case of This other userafter injecting herself she noticed that the cheek had deformed him and went to Chatgpt, who told him that perhaps a small amount of substance had migrated to that area, but that “it will surely dissolve.” This time there is A user that begs you not to use chatgpt for medical advice. And there is More examples. Doctor Chatgpt, what happens to me? We have already seen that more and more people are going to Chatgpt as if it were a psychologist And there is even chatbots that get through one. If it is happening with mental health, it is not surprising that it is also happening with physical health. There are even A study that affirms that chatgpt responded better for doubts than online care services with real doctors, although This other It concludes that it gives more than 30% wrong results. Anyway, There are more and more people who tell their symptoms to AI In search of a rapid diagnosis and, in many cases, cheaper than going to the doctor (the tendency to inject yourself at home is born precisely from this) AI and health. The irruption of AI has raised numerous ethical debates and that of its health use is one of them. However, there are countless examples in which AI is being a Very powerful tool in the health sector. Recently we have known that China has an AI that helps in the detection of pancreatic cancer. Has also helped Accelerate research in the resistance of some bacteria And there are companies dedicated to APPLICATION IN THE MEDICAL DIAGNOSIS. The AI ​​problem for everything. IA tools can be a great help and make ourselves more efficient, or we can end up using it to do something as risky as botox at home. There are studies that claim that Chatgpt is diminishing our intelligencea historical fear that has emerged with almost every new mass adoption technology. But the problem is not AI, it is How we use itand in areas such as health it is a particularly delicate issue. In summary: AI and health, yes. AI to get Botox at home, not better.

has been charging without working seven months

by

Imagine being hired by an important company in which you are going to collect a good salary but, when it is time to incorporate and assign your tasks, nobody does. They pay you for Do nothing Throughout your day. Would you give up such a job? Although the argument of a sitcom may seem, that is exactly what happened to a Reddit user who He told his experience in a job in which I had “working” seven months without doing anything. In spite of everything, the employee was satisfied with his work: “I will not get a second job while I do this. I am a vague auction and I do not even want to do this job, nor talk about a second.” Schrödinger’s employee: he is, but he doesn’t work The user resident on the east coast of the USA, counted in his publication that he was hired in one of the world’s largest real estate companies for an administrative position with a salary that almost reached the six figures. However, a week before joining the office, the person who hired him was fired. In fact, on his first day, someone from another department had to show him what his table was. “I’ve been sitting in an office behind the office that occupied the woman who hired me, completely alone.” This unexpected situation left the new worker without a direct superior to supervise him, and Without clearly defined tasks From the first day. Faced with such an unusual situation, the employee tried to contact other managers and department leaders warning them that he has no assigned tasks. However, their requests have not obtained an answer, and continues to perform minimum tasks that it has assumed on its own. Its only official activity is to develop spreadsheets on the list of the equipment, something that does not use more than 15 minutes a week. Then, send the files to the department head and attach a hidden copy to the office coordinator, only to save appearances. An exemplary employee Despite the total absence of tasks and supervision, the employee has chosen to religiously fulfill his working hours. He explains that, to leave registration of his assistance, he goes to the office three days per week to validate his credential and meets the agreed schedule. Even so, the employee confesses that some days leave early. We assume that it will do it without leaving pending tasks. Your company applies a Hybrid Day Modelso the other two remaining days does “his work” from home. The employee says that during the seven months he has been in the company, he has always received his salary promptly, despite not having real responsibilities. “They pay me every month, although I barely have a job. No one seems to realize that I exist,” he says in his publication. According to other users, when you need one day free, send a request by an application and someone approves it without major problems. But “I have not talked to anyone in months,” he confirms. Some users tell you the possibility of searching A second job remotely with which to entertain During “your work day” and, incidentally, get an extra income without having to spend more time. However, the employee has refused full assuming that his goal is to maintain the minimum effort. He really found work of his. Although the case of this employee may seem isolated and unusual, in reality work audits discover similar cases quite often, even in Spain We have had some cases. Meta, for example, hired engineers during the pandemic to prevent their competition from signing but, like later confessed, He really had no assigned tasks and They charged for doing nothing.

In the mid -twentieth century the nuclear was fashionable. So someone created “atomic” tomatoes and cucumbers

by

The human being has from the dawn of agriculture trying to improve their crops. Before the arrival of advanced laboratory techniques such as CRISPR or the tools that the transgenics gave them, our species tested with a retahíla of various strategies to obtain larger fruits and vegetablestastier or more resistant. Some more successful than others. Some that bordered the demential. To the latter group belongs to the atomic horticulture, Atomic Gardening. The name of the technique speaks for itself. Atomic horticulture started from the idea of ​​bombarding radiation plantations. The objective of atomic horticulture, or at least the nominal objective of this, was to force mutations that improve the properties of food that were extracted from them. For this, the orchards were arranged in concentric circles, in whose center the radioactive material was located (Generally cobalt-60) capable of emitting gamma rays. The disposition implied that the successive circles received radiation dose that could vary significantly. The closest plants ended up burned by radiation and many nearby developed lethal problems such as tumors. The rest of the plants would receive more moderate doses that would introduce small mutations in their DNA. These mutations could be harmful or beneficial: the technique could Accelerate the natural process Of genetic modification, the selection, natural or human, would make the rest. The origin of this practice is found in the first years of the nuclear era, in the 1950s. Behind this initiative could find an association called The Atomic Gardening Societydedicated to promoting this striking practice. In An article Posted in 1962 the magazine Naturethis agrarian society was defined as “a scientific, educational and non -profit body, which carries out research in plants reproduction using radiative and chemically treated seeds and plants.” The different members of the association could exchange through this different seeds and the organization also served to record the different genetic variations introduced into the plants. The Atomic Gardening Society He also published his own magazine in which members could share their experiences and knowledge. We pointed out before the objective of this practice was to improve the qualities of plants and their fruits, make the most productive and resistant crops and their most nutritious or tasty crops. However behind this practice there was something else: marketing. The 50s was the era of initiative Atoms for peacein whose bosom the atomic gardens were born. This initiative intended to show that the energy responsible for devastation in Hiroshima and Nagasaki could also be used for economic improvement, in this case, agricultural improvement. Atomic horticulture in Spain Atomic horticulture was not an exclusive idea of ​​great nuclear powers such as the United States or the Soviet Union but also various countries from Europe to Japan developed their own gardens. Spain also had Your own atomic garden. The so -called Atomic Jarín of Alcalá is what remains of the Spanish tante in this nuclear agriculture, the then called El Encín Gamma Radiation Field. The origin of this experiment, which did not use Cobalt-60 but Cesio-137is in 1959, when Spain began to leave its isolationist period and could receive this radioactive isotope from US nuclear power plants for the exotic objective of building its own atomic garden not far from the capital. Today atomic horticulture is history. As we pointed at the beginning, today we had less quirky techniques to introduce mutations into plants. The transgenic foods, despite all the controversy they generate, have been accompanying us for decades. In fact, the development of the “scissors” of CRISPR genetic edition has given a new push to the genetic edition of organisms. This tool allows a control never seen before, notably facilitating The work of those looking for Improve the quality, quantity or resistance of crops. Atomic horticulture is history, but their results still endure. They do it in the form of variants of fruits, vegetables and even ornamental plants whose origin is in one of the most unique agricultural practices in the history of humanity.

The ambitious video apps plans to land on Smart TV

by

There is no one who can with the TV. Although the hours we spend in front of the mobile are increasingly abundant, the big screen that makes up the neuralgic entertainment center and household meetings continues to exercise great power over us. And about advertisers. Therefore, even mobile apps giants such as Instagram or Tiktok consider a turn to television and prepare apps in that format. Tik tok and Instagram, to TV. Account ‘The Information‘That Tiktok and Instagram are developing apps to be viewed on television. The objective is to steal some advertiser of the juicy cake that are now distributed the platforms of streaming (that generated more than 26,000 million dollars in income in 2024) and also increase the number of users, appealing to new profiles and older than the usual ones on the platforms (In Tiktok About 70% of users are under 34 years old, and On Instagram around 60%) The future has returned. When the use of mobiles was generalized, the media looked at these new devices, transportable screens (laptops, tablets, smartphones) and They said “here is the future”. We would watch TV and movies on mobiles. They were wrong: TVs are still reigning in houses thanks to the arrival of streaming: Linear TV consumption is in historical minimumsbut Thanks to streaming platforms A lot of television is still seen. But the screen continues to be transformed and perhaps the next bombing we see comes from the arrival of native mobile apps. YouTube to power. Recent news resonates in this decision of the two gigantic social social networks: YouTube’s sustained growth in recent years. According to Nielsenthe video platform has experienced a constant and significant general growth, more than 120 % since 2021. But in addition, in May 2025, it occupied the leading position between platforms of streamingwith 12.5 % of the total viewing on television. That is, advancing traditional television on their own land and even its rivals of streamingan app born on the Internet has conquered televisions. Tik Tok already tried. The Chinese video app has already tried to enter the Smart TVS with an application that did not have much route and It was launched in November 2021. According to Sony and collects ‘The Information’, Tiktok stopped updating the app in June and there are other televisions brands, such as Samsung or LG, where it is not even available. It is a possible clue about changes in the Tiktok TV approach. Instagram has never had an app for Smart TVS. Advertising is what is sought. To those mentioned 26,000 million dollars that gives the streaming In advertising the 72% of the 50,000 million youtube revenues In 2024: the video format and its jump to television allows multiple formats (pre -rol, Bumper, Mid-RollShorts), very versatile and attractive for video social media apps, more limited in that regard. Television allows hybrid advertising practices (with the use of artificial intelligence That will begin to put into practice Netflix, for example), which generate more impact on television. All that also want to access Tiktok and Instagram.

Chips manufacturers seek talent urgently. In Europe only 100,000 more engineers are needed

by

During the next five years the global semiconductor industry will need to incorporate nothing less than One million qualified workers. This prognosis is no elucubration; It comes from SEMIan international organization that watches over the interests of the electronics industries and integrated circuits. According to their forecasts Europe will face a deficit of 100,000 engineers, and Asia will need 200,000 qualified technicians. These a priori figures may seem exaggerated, but they are not at all if we consider that for 2024 the chips industry grew by 19.1% compared to 2023 thanks to the demand for GPUs for artificial intelligence (AI) and consumer electronic products, as well as to the expansion of 5G communications throughout the planet and the development of the car market. In 2024 the global semiconductor industry invoiced 627.6 billion dollars. There are not enough professionals to support the growth of this industry TSMC, The biggest chips manufacturer on the planethe goes hunting again year after year to be able to meet his needs. During 2023 recruited 6,000 engineers For its Taiwan facilities, and presumably this trend also remained for 2024. And between 2025 and 2028 it will start several semiconductor manufacturing plants in the US, Germany, Taiwan and Japan. TSMC is one of the most successful companies in this sector, but with all probability other chips designers and manufacturers will also need to strengthen their templates. The average salary of an engineer without previous experience, backed by a master’s degree and newly arrived at TSMC exceeds $ 65,500 annually In this situation the salaries offered by these companies are very high. The average salary of an engineer without previous experience, endorsed by a master’s degree and newcomer to TSMC exceeds $ 65,500 annually (Approximately 56,000 euros), But this is just the starting point. It is assumed that as their salary acquires experience. The problem facing semiconductor companies, According to semiis that as many people with technical profile are not being formed in universities as they will need in the short and medium term. In addition, many of the most experienced engineers are retiring or will do so before 2030. As a button shows: in the US, a third of employees of integrated circuit companies have 55 years or more. And in Germany a third of the technicians who have developed their work career in the chips industry will retire throughout the next decade. However, there is another challenge that also compromises the future of these companies: the next batch of engineers will have to have advanced skills in AI and Automatic learning. The companies that are dedicated to the semiconductors are aware of the problem that already looms on them, which has caused some to have launched initiatives that initiatives that initiatives that initiatives that They go beyond offering good salaries. Some of these measures are to invest in the progression of their professionals and offer them flexibility to prevent them from leaving; in seeking candidates with non -traditional profiles in which their skills prevail and not their training, or in promoting the incorporation of women into this industry. At the moment Women represent only 17% of technical positions in the semiconductor industry.

North Korea has just opened its own “Benidorm” for 20,000 tourists. The mystery is now who will go there

by

To Kim Jong-un we usually see him dispatching with uniformed subordinates or supervising missile throws, always cooling in his everlasting MAO neck suit. Much less common is to see it as This Tuesdaywhen it was recorded sitting in a folding chair with a soda and a package of cigarettes while contemplating how people slid down a huge water slide. Nothing strange if we consider that what Kim was doing was neither more nor less than inaugurate The “New Benidorm” North Korea. The Great question Now, after the fanfare and pomp of the inauguration is: How the hell is intended to fill it a hermetic and suspicious country of foreign tourism? Welcome to Wonsan Kalma. North Korea already has His particular Benidorm. Officially, with opening tape cut and fireworks included. Tuesday The leader of the nation, Kim Jong-un, went to the new Megacomplex Kangwon tourist to preside over the start -up of one of its biggest projects: a Marina D´or to the Korean, with aquatic parks, hotels, beach kilometers and ability to accommodate 20,000 guests. MAO NECK WITHOUT. Kim Jong-un is more or less common to see him dispatched with subordinates, meeting with other leaders and supervising missile launches or warships (not always). And in all these cases its aesthetic is usually identical: gray or black suit, usually of the mao neck, and sober expression. Wonsan Kalma is a place of recreation, so there he offered a more informal picture and enjoyed a mass bath which K-pop star. Kim also appeared accompanied by his wife, Ri Sol-Juwho had had a year and a half away from the spotlights, and his daughter Ju-Aeof 12 years already the one that usually signs up as the future heiress of the family saga. Next to them Kim walked along Wonsan beach, inspected the hotels and even sat on a folding chair (refreshment and pitillo by hand) to see how a comrade slid down a water slide. Neither easy nor fast. Wonsan-Kalma is news because North Korea He has just given it By inaugurated, but in reality the project is not new, much less unknown. Moreover, he has been talking about him since 2013, when Kim Jong-un, then just enthroned in the Korea Workers Party advertisement His desire to turn Wonsan into a “tourist city.” Curious bet if one takes into account that the authorities had used the region to Try your missiles. That Kim opts precisely in that area of ​​North Korea is no coincidence: he grew up there, surrounded by luxury, and his coast is bathed by the sea of ​​Japan. The idea was that the new tourist complex was Ready in 2022but on the way several inconveniences crossed: the covid and a serious shortage of materials aggravated by international sanctions, so that his calendar was expanding until he went into the second half of the decade. Last summer the state agency KCNA slid that Wonsan Kalma could be ready in May. It will take something else: you will start receiving visitors July 1. And who will visit it? We know that Wonsan Kalma has hotels, aquatic parks, pools with slides, four kilometers of beachrestaurants and commercial areas, but what is not so clear is how North Korea will manage to fill it. Especially since the government itself remembers that it has the capacity for tens of thousands of visitors: their accommodations can host 20,000 people And in his day he slid that the capacity of the complex would be even greater. The KCNA agency only states that Wonsan-Kalma will begin offering services to “National Clients” As of July 1, without mention of plans to promote the complex or capture visitors outside the country. To the inauguration of Wonsan Kalma, yes, a delegation of Russian authorities including the ambassador, one more sample of the approach between Pyongyang and Moscow. Gesture question. It is not easy to know what plans Kim has in tourism, one of the few legal channels available to the nation to capture foreign currencies; But over the last months the North Korean regime has given forward steps (and Also some other behind) to open timidly to foreign tourism, knocked out after pandemic. By mid -2023 the restrictions They relaxedmonths later the country began to receive Russian visitors already early this year He surprised the world when opening its doors to a reduced handful of Western tourists. That did not last long. Weeks later He turned back. In April the capital celebrated a marathon in which allowed Run to foreigners, especially Russians and Ethiopians. Looking at Russia. The CNN Precise that at the moment the Russians seem to be the only ones who will have it more or less easy to step on the new tourist complex. One of his agencies, Vostok Intur, is in fact promoting several packages for the coming months with Pyongyang scale. Your price? Around 1,800 dollars. In 2019 North Korea received some 300,000 visitors foreigners, especially Chinese, who generated a flow of between 90 and 150 million dollars.

Melilla cyber attack points to a Russian cybercriminal group

by

On June 25 we echoed the news: the Autonomous City of Melilla indicated that, since Sunday 22 of this month, Its computer services were interrupted by a technical incidence. Although the causes were not known, everything pointed to a cyber attack. And there are already those who have assumed responsibility. What happened. Last Sunday, June 22, the City Council of Melilla reported technical problems in their computer systems. The president trusted that “in two days” they were active again, noting that the technicians had been working on their restoration from dawn. From the beginning, the hypothesis of a cyber attack that could subtract confidential information from the administration and citizens was considered. Keep passing. Despite what The incidence was expected to last a couple of daysMelilla has been plunged into computer chaos for almost a week. The computer blackout has interrupted the operation of the administration servers of the Autonomous City, preventing access to their systems and suspending all electronic procedures. The attack.
