Elite Spanish sport is so precarious that athletes are beginning to be sponsored by OnlyFans

by

OnlyFans, the British platform that hosts primarily erotic content made by its own users, has begun to sponsor high-performance Spanish athletes in minority disciplines. The objective is to clean up the image of a business with questionable fame, taking advantage of the fact that sponsorships are essential for these athletes to continue competing professionally. A situation of dependency (mutual, although it is clear who handles the money here) that has raised the first suspicions. What OnlyFans has done. The paddle tennis player Vero Virseda, the boxer Jennifer Miranda and the surfer Alazne Aurrekoetxea now wear the platform’s logo on their kits, in a movement that the journalist and popularizer Mara Mariño described in an investigation for Article14 as part of a calculated normalization strategy. Mariño describes the strategy as “a masterful marketing maneuver” that seeks to reposition itself in sectors with massive reach and a good image such as sports and fitness. How he does it. The operation has a double aspect: on the one hand, it pays them to display the platform’s logo on their kits and where they compete; On the other hand, it offers them the possibility of opening personal accounts where they can monetize exclusive content showing workouts, sports routines, nutrition advice or aspects of your personal life. This hybrid formula also allows OnlyFans to present itself as a general content platform, not exclusively erotic. It gets complicated. Mariño warns in Article14 about the unforeseen consequences of this normalization: “When athletes display an OnlyFans sticker on their surfboard, they are legitimizing for youth audiences a platform that can attract young girls without awareness of the risks.” In 2022, Spain also approved the General Law 13/2022 on Audiovisual Communicationwhich forces video sharing platforms with pornographic content to implement effective age verification systems. At the moment the thing is in testing phase. Other European countries are also strengthening this restrictive trend. In 2024, France gave its regulator Arcom the ability to block pornographic sites that do not verify the age of their visitors. Germany blocked access to Pornhub and RedTube after determining that their parent company Aylo “prioritized its own financial interests over the goal of protecting minors.” A legislative tightening that contrasts with OnlyFans’ strategy of gaining legitimacy through sports sponsorship: just now that access to adult content platforms is facing the greatest regulatory restrictions in its history. International context. The phenomenon of athletes turning to OnlyFans has global reach and reveals the economic gap faced by high-level athletes in less high-profile disciplines. In Brazil, volleyball player Key Alves, who plays for the Osasco club, has publicly declared that her income on the platform multiply by fifty what you perceive as a professional athlete. Another striking case: the Canadian pole vaulter Alysha Newmanbronze medalist in Paris 2024, who has a turnover of approximately one million euros annually through OnlyFans. During the last Olympic Games they also talked about the topic the British diver Jack Laugher, the New Zealand rower Robbie Manson and the Mexican diver Diego Balleza. OnlyFabs has come to sponsor, in fact, complete sports teams, such as the American Racing Team in the second category of the Motorcycle World Championship. To whiten. The arrival of OnlyFans to the world of sports responds to a business need: transform its public image to attract investors. According to Bloombergthe platform has begun talks to obtain financing, seeking a valuation of more than $1 billion. But potential investors demand as a fundamental condition that they distance themselves from pornographic content that currently represents 50% of its creators’ profiles. Already in 2021, CEO Tim Stokely declared that “sportsmen and athletes are a field in which we are seeing great growth.” Some obstacles. This image-washing operation has encountered some significant institutional resistance. The International Cycling Union (UCI), for example, prevented Scottish cyclist Lewis Buchanan from participating in official competitions in April 2023. if it displayed OnlyFans advertising on his helmet, taking advantage of its regulations that prohibit showing advertisements of pornographic content. He sportwashing. What OnlyFans does bears similarities to this term coined in 2015 (in response to the European Games in Azerbaijan, which were used to divert attention from the country’s government’s human rights violations), which describes how countries with problematic histories use sport to whitewash their reputations. OnlyFans would be taking advantage of the prestige and visibility of sport to dilute its association with pornography. As sponsored tennis player Alexandre Müller said“OnlyFans wants to change its image, it’s not just about erotic things. That’s why they sponsor me.” Header | Alazne Aurrekoetxea In Xataka | A man from Cadiz is being the star of the Italian news. He has been fired from his job for using a hydraulic penis

How a disgusting organ became the symbol of the romantic heart

by

A few years ago, Twitter decided that giving gold stars to favorite tweets wasn’t enough. That love had to make its way in the shape of little hearts. Regardless of the resultthat made us think of the heart icon itself: ♥ How the hell a piece of meat designed as a blood plumbing pump became that clean shape? And at what point did we turn it into the symbol of love? We have reviewed the history of the symbol and the organ, from the caves onwards, in search of love. The simplest answer? Human beings have a tendency to adopt our mistakes as symbols. Even when we have already discovered that they were errors. The shape of the heart The best example is Pandora’s Box. Since Erasmus of Rotterdam translated the Greek myth into Latin and he screwed up with a wordthe jar that contained all the evils of the world became a box. That was 400 years ago. And something similar happens with the heart. Dutch neurosurgeon Pierre Vinken studied the history of the heart as a symbol in The Shape of the Heartwhere he reviews how our ancestors began to wonder what that thing was inside us. We’re talking about a couple of millennia before we discovered what it was for. But the history of the symbol goes back even further: in three French locations, anthropologist Genevieve von Petzinger identified a recurring heart-shaped figure. And in more European caves he observed a few more symbols, in common use. For von Petzinger, symbols represent the first leap from representing specific figures (bison and other prehistoric rock art) to abstract ideas. Maybe a proto-alphabet. The first emojis come from cave times. Boom. In this image from their research we can see the cordiform symbol (and a hashtag!) of those French caves. That is, heart-shaped. But that certainly did not represent one. Neither von Petzinger nor the rest of the scientific community yet knows what this symbol means. It certainly wasn’t anatomical. And the closest thing there was at that time to that figure – except perhaps leaves – were some ax heads. But hey, say what you want: what we use today as a heart is one of the original emojis. Get over that, thumb I like on Facebook! The center of man But let’s go back to the heart. The Egyptians, very fond of touching corpses to make mummies, had the habit of removing the viscera and preserving them in various ways. In canopic glasses, for example. But the heart remained inside: the intellect and emotions resided there, and the dead person needed that organ for their journey in the afterlife. The Greeks also had similar ideas about the function of the organ, although for them the heart was rather the center of reason: Aristotle established that the heart was The Head, the most important thing in the body. He also described his form that way. And this is where it all begins. For the philosopher, the heart was where movement, sensations and reason. And the brain was there to refresh it. But hey, the man tried. And we were in the 4th century BC, there was not much more to it, especially because about testing crazy theories Empirically, he did not go much with the philosopher. Fast forward four centuries and Galen appears, whose ideas guided “Medicine” for more than a millennium. Galen disputed Aristotle about the importance of the heart, also anatomically: the heart was a more or less symmetrical thing divided into two in the shape of a pine cone. That is the basis of our romantic heart. Because it was a pear! Well, no. Not even the first time it was used as such, back in the 13th century. In a French romance called Roman de la PoireDitto of the Pera. In the illuminated manuscript an allegorical love scene appears in which the man offers his heart to his beloved. It is, as far as we know, the first representation of the heart as a romantic symbol. And, although the heart still does not appear as the icon we know today, we do see it as something clean, without ventricles or valves or anything. Since then, the giving of the heart became, in that and other romances, a symbol of love that has survived to this day. But this representation has nothing to do with the title of the romance (the beloved offers a pear that she has peeled with her own teeth to the beloved. Sexy), but with the usual anatomical representation of the heart at that time. More examples? The Charity that Andrea Pisano sculpted on the doors of the Baptistery of Florence in the 14th century. He held a heart in his right hand. A more stylized representation than the one his teacher Giotto di Bondone had made a few decades before, which did represent the heart as an organmore or less. However, during that same century (at least since 1320) several miniatures began to detail the heart with the slit: an iconography that, although erroneous, spread and also changed the position of the heart, with the point downwards. Its popularization spread throughout art, until it reached something more popular a century or so later. When playing cards appeared in Europe (last third of the 14th century), each country adapted the cards that came from Egypt in its own way. And it was the French who, towards the second half of the 15th centurywhich included the heart with that split shape in one of the suits of the deck. From cups, golds, spades and clubs they went to hearts, diamonds, spades and clubs. With the shape and color we know today. And so on until you reach Twitter and all the heart tones on WhatsApp. Image | Unsplash In Xataka | The world has been speculating for decades about Hitler’s Jewish origin or his “micropenis.” DNA has given us the answer In Xataka | In 1878 a sultan of Borneo and … Read more

Oracle signed a 300 billion agreement with OpenAI. Two months later it has lost 315,000 million in the stock market

by

Since Oracle announced its $300 billion deal with OpenAI On September 10, its shares have lost $315 billion in market capitalization, as they have stated since Financial Times. The technology company He has bet everything on a single card: Become the premier infrastructure provider for the world’s most valuable AI lab. Investors are not convinced. The most expensive bet in its history. Oracle has tied its future to OpenAI in an unprecedented way in the technology industry. According to estimates At Jefferies, 58% of its future order book comes from a single customer: OpenAI. To put it in perspective, Microsoft has just 39% concentration with its largest customer, and Amazon 16%. Oracle has gotten into a mess and its business diversification has become a critical dependency on OpenAI. The plan is ambitious but risky. Oracle’s strategy is to reach $166 billion in cloud computing revenue by 2030, according to counted the company last month. To achieve this, its investment budget in the current fiscal year ending in May amounts to $35 billion. The analysts wait that this annual expenditure will stabilize around 80,000 million in 2029. But here’s the problem: Starting in 2027, most of that revenue would come from OpenAI, according to the calculations from RBC Capital Markets. That is, Oracle is not just building massive infrastructure, it is building massive infrastructure for a single tenant that has yet to prove its long-term commercial viability. The numbers don’t add up yet. Oracle’s net debt already stands at 2.5 times its ebitda (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization), more than double what it was in 2021, and is expected to almost double again by 2030. Its free cash flow is also expected to remain negative for five consecutive years, according to the forecasts collected by Bloomberg. The company is financing with debt a gigantic server farm with the hope that OpenAI will generate enough revenue to justify the investment. Meanwhile, as has shared Financial Times, investors are so restless that the cost of insuring against a potential Oracle default is at a three-year high. The contagion effect of OpenAI. Oracle is not the only company that has suffered after announcing agreements with OpenAI. Broadcom and Amazon too have seen their shares fallwhile NVIDIA has barely moved since its investment agreement in September. A few months ago, any type of association with OpenAI caused prices to rise, considering himself the King Midas of AI. The most notable case was AMD’s in Octoberwhen its shares rose 24% after announcing a chip deal that included company warrants. That halo effect seems to have completely faded. Between the lines. The initial theory was that OpenAI was in a frantic race to catch up. general artificial intelligence (AGI) and that Oracle was the only company capable of scaling the necessary computing capacity at the required speed. Oracle promised the lowest upfront costs and the fastest path to revenue generation because it acted as a data center tenant, not an owner. Now investors are sending the signal that partnering with OpenAI is no longer a guarantee of success. The alternative reality is less rosy: Oracle doesn’t have as much operating profit as its competitors to burn on R&D, so it’s betting everything to keep its only big customer in exchange for a promissory note. Amazon, Microsoft and Meta can afford to spend between 70,000 and 130,000 million a year in infrastructure. Oracle is juggling financials to keep pace. And now what. Oracle has until mid-2026 to prove that your Abilene data center in Texas, with capacity for more than 400,000 GPUs and 1.4 gigawatts of power, can generate the promised returns. Meanwhile, the market has spoken and is awaiting evidence that this partnership will bear the promised fruits.

The name China does not appear, everything else reminds us of Beijing

by

By 2025, countries like Finland, Sweden and Lithuania had published guides for its population focused on concern about a possible war with Russia. In Taiwan they have gone a little further if possible. The nation has decided to publicly assume something that until a few years ago was avoided even being mentioned: that the military threat from China is no longer a remote hypothesis, but rather a daily pressure that forces to prepare to the entire population to stages. And they have done so without naming Beijing at any time. A manual for an island. The guide has a “trap”, since there are scenarios that range from natural disasters to a coordinated invasion by land, sea, air and cyberspace. That said, it is the first time that the Government sends a security manual to every home in the country (23 million inhabitants), an unprecedented gesture that reveals both the seriousness of the strategic situation and the political determination to show that civil society will not be a weak link in the event of conflict. The guide, redesigned to be understandable for any citizen, combines practical instructions, technological warnings, psychological guidelines and a central idea that structures the entire message: the defense of Taiwan depends on each person knowing what to do from the first minute of a crisis. Prepare at home. The manual starts from a basic principle: In a real crisis, public infrastructure may be disrupted and initial survival will depend on each family’s ability to be self-sufficient for at least a week. The guide explains how to evaluate the logistical needs of the home, from dry food, water and medicines to batteries, radios, hygienic materials and basic utensils for cooking without electricity. It is requested to maintain a “revolving stock”consuming and replenishing so that reserves are never lacking. It also introduces the need for consider vulnerable people (seniors, babies, dependents) and to always have chargers, cash, copies of documents and alternative means of communication in case the internet or mobile phones are sabotaged. Emergency luggage. The heart of the manual is the go-bag preparationa kit that should be able to be picked up and carried in seconds if the situation forces you to leave home. It includes water, ready-to-eat food, basic first aid kit, clothing for rain and cold, flashlight, radio, chargers, documents, simple tools and paper maps. This section insists that the population must internalize the logic of immediate mobilityunderstanding that in the first moments of a crisis, speed can be the difference between being trapped or reaching a safe point. Threat scenarios. One of the most striking new features is the explicit enumeration of hostile scenariosall of them based on patterns already observed in Chinese military exercises or on forms of coercion that Taipei identifies as part of a sustained hybrid war. They include the cable sabotage submarines, maritime blockades disguised as inspections, the creation of false no-fly zones, intrusive drones over Taiwanese space, disinformation campaigns, cyberattacks and the possibility that enemy forces try to infiltrate or simulate identities to confuse the population. The manual warns that, in such an environment, distinguish allies and enemies can be difficult, so the rule is simple: stay away from any detected military activity and do not broadcast images that could reveal Taiwanese defensive movements. Taiwanese army training How to act during bombings. The document also pragmatically details how survive an air raid If there is no time to reach underground shelter: move away from windows and walls, lie down on the ground, cover your head and open your mouth slightly to cushion the impact of the shock wave. For those who are on the street, we insist on adopting a protective position and facing the opposite direction to the explosion. The manual, in addition, updates evacuation routeshelp points and location of shelters, and highlights the importance of establishing three previously agreed upon family meeting places to avoid the fragmentation of groups in the midst of chaos. The psychological dimension. Another essential part is emotional management. It is encouraged to reduce exposure to irrelevant news to avoid saturation, to maintain rest and eating routines, and to talk openly about fear as a way to prevent it from growing uncontrollably. In the case of children, the guide recommends including them in the preparation of go-bags, explain to them what is happening with appropriate language and teach them to identify fake news, a threat that Taiwan suffers every day as part of the information harassment from abroad. Cybersecurity and technology. The manual dedicates an entire section to warning about the risks of using applications and technological devices linked to Chinese companies. The guide points out platforms such as TikTok, WeChat, RedNote or AI tools such as DeepSeek, and remembers that certain devices with cameras can be vectors for data collection. The instruction is clear: reduce its use, deactivate sensitive functions and be wary of any anomalous behavior in electronic equipment. Civic offensive. If you also want, the most relevant thing about this massive deployment is not only its content, but its strategic significance: Taiwan wants to show Beijing that its society is not passive or fragile, that it knows what to do and that the human, social and political cost of an invasion would not be low. The campaign, which will distribute more than 11 million of copies, seeks to reinforce the idea that the defense of the island does not depend solely on its army, but also on a prepared, conscious and coordinated civil fabric. The political message is explicit: the Taiwanese resistance does not expect a “D-Day”, possibly because it already lives under daily threat, but is willing to assume the consequences of defending itself if that day arrives.

We Spaniards have been calling all donuts with holes “donut” all our lives. Now it is private property of Bimbo

by

Cases of all types and types pass through the Supreme Court table. That’s nothing new. What is curious is that its magistrates rule on a lawsuit in which pastries, linguistics and brands are combined, all well mixed in a legal dispute so full of chiaroscuro that justice has taken a while almost a decade in reaching a conclusion. As if that were not striking in itself, at the center of the dispute was one of the most famous sweets in the country: Donut. We explain ourselves. Word of the RAE. If you open the RAE online dictionary and type “donut” you will see that the meaning From the word is clear, at least to academics: a donut is basically a “spongy, donut-shaped piece of pastry, fried and usually glazed or covered in chocolate.” A type of donut. The RAE also clarifies that the term comes from the registered trademark Donut. The million dollar question is… Is donut (like that, in lower case and with an accent) the same as Donut? Does the fact that the first word has been in the Royal Academy’s dictionary for years allow any Spanish company to use it freely or is it the exclusive property of the company that popularized it, Bakery Donuts (Bimbo), owner for decades of the DONUT brand and others that have included the term? Almost a decade of lawsuits. The above questions are more than just questions thrown into the air or theoretical reflections. They are at the bottom of a dispute that may date back to beginning of 2017when a long legal tug-of-war began centered on the word “doughnut.” Around that time, Bimbo Donuts Iberia filed a lawsuit before the Commercial Court No. 9 of Madrid when it detected that another third-party company (Atlanta Restauración Tematica) was offering donuts on its website that, although they were called Redondoughts, were described as “doughnuts.” For Bimbo, this represented a violation of its trademark and it decided to sue. Why’s that? The Confidential has had access to the last ruling in the case, which allows us to understand the arguments put forward by both parties. For Bimbo, the fact that another company used the term represented two things: first, a use of its brand, which has been cared for for decades; second, an example of unfair competition that affects their interests in the candy market. For Atlanta things are different. In your opinion“donut” is nothing more than a word in common use, a word recognized by the Royal Academy. As if that were not enough, he claims that he has not even used it “as a trademark”, but rather on his website, where at the time it had an “insignificant” reach. In fact, the company is dedicated to selling to professionals in what is known as ‘Horeca’ channela label that basically refers to establishments such as hotels, restaurants and cafes. To the Supreme. Bimbo’s claims were unsuccessful in the first instance. Not in second either. As remember Five Days, This last court even recognized that the word donut is descriptive, in common use and appears in the RAE dictionary. The multinational did not give up and the issue ended up in the Supreme Court, which is the one that has had the last word. The most curious thing is that for its magistrates the reality is somewhat different than for previous judges. “It cannot be ignored that the use of the same word by Atlanta may imply per se an improper use of the reputation or notoriety of the Donut brands, with the consequent impairment of their distinctive character and reputation,” reasons the ruling of the Supreme Court, which even speaks of the risk of “loss of prestige.” “The third party unfairly benefits from the attractive power of the brand.” In case there were any doubts, the ruling recalls that Atlanta did not exactly use the term RAE (with a lowercase letter and an accent), which leads the court to point out that the company did not act in a “loyal” manner towards the “legitimate interests” of Bakery. “It affected its renown, distinctive character and exclusivity,” he remarks. An armored brand. The conclusion? Whatever the RAE says, the unauthorized use of the word ‘Donut’ for commercial purposes (at least in Spain) violates the rights brand of Grupo Bimbo. Hence the multinational spoke of a “historic legal victory.” In his opinion, the ruling recognizes “the renown” of his brand and grants it “maximum protection.” In reality, since Atlanta has already removed the word from its website and its use was “limited,” it does not impose compensation or a fine.

Hundreds of billionaires pledged to donate their fortune. The philanthropic era of Bill Gates and Warren Buffett has come to an end

by

In 2010, Bill Gates and Warren Buffett teamed up on an unusual project: convincing hundreds of millionaires that They didn’t need half his fortune and they owed billions of dollars to philanthropic projects. Sounds crazy, right? Well they got it. However, the model promoted by these two regular figures in the top 10 with the greatest fortunes in the last four decadesappears to be reaching a tipping point. They are coming tax reforms and moral incentives are not supported by the always convincing fiscal incentives. The golden age of philanthropy among millionaires could be in its final stages. Gates and Buffett’s original plan. The project The Giving Pledgelaunched by Gates and Buffett 15 years ago, invited hundreds of the world’s billionaires to sign a non-binding pledge promising to donate at least half of their fortune to charitable causes during their lifetime or after their death. Since its creation, more than 250 billionaires from 30 countries have signed this commitment, adding a combined fortune close to $600 billion in potential donations. according to calculations of Business Insider. Despite the magnitude of the figures, in recent years the viability of this model of collective philanthropy has been questioned. Warren Buffett himself recognized in his last letter to Berkshire Hathaway shareholders that its plan to engage and motivate the ultra-wealthy “hasn’t worked,” assuming the idea of ​​a golden age of mass philanthropy may be coming to an end. According to a recent report of the Institute of Political Studies, of the 256 signatories of the commitment to donate half of their fortune, only nine have fulfilled their promise. Open doors to philanthropy. The approval of the “One Big Beautiful Bill” Act, a fiscal package that imposes a 10% tax to foundations with more than $5 billion in assets, has significantly altered the philanthropic plans of many billionaires. The withdrawal of tax incentives makes donations They are no longer such a priority for great fortunes. According to what he told Fortune Kathleen McCarthy, director of the Center on Philanthropy and Civil Society“The insidious thing about this is that it will seriously affect the large liberal foundations like Gates, Ford and Soros”, which contributed millions of dollars to social, health and educational projects. “Whereas conservative foundations are much smaller and will pay a much lower rate,” McCarthy stressed. New ways to donate. This new scenario, which alienates large foundations from the front line of giving, is pushing philanthropists to look for alternative ways to give and modify their strategies. “Billionaires will begin to look for alternative mechanisms when they realize that they are being forced to close their foundations,” explains McCarthy. Practices like direct donation practiced by MacKenzie Scott, ex-wife of Jeff Bezos, and her Yield Giving foundation are gaining ground. Your strategy: donate the money directly to the organizations that develop the projects. Without intermediaries or segmentation of funds. According to a report of the Center for Effective PhilanthropyScott has already awarded more than $19.25 billion to 2,450 nonprofit organizations. This is how Bella DeVaan, from the Institute for Policy Studies in the article Fortune“I think she sets the trend and is an ethical reference in the way of donating money, as Gates has been.” Buffett’s family legacy. Although the era of massive philanthropy seems to end, Warren Buffett has not stopped giving. With Buffett’s retirement as head of Berkshire Hathaway, the investor has delegated part of his fortune in donations to the charitable foundations of his three children and his late wife. Annually, the veteran investor has been distributing billions in the form of actions to strengthen the family legacy and ensure that its wealth benefits society. However, in his latest donations from the millionaire a striking absence has been noted: the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation has already does not appear among its beneficiaries.

turn them into the largest battery network on the planet

by

In Spain, if you ride a self-consumption system with solar panels at home and you generate more energy than you need, there is a mechanism called simplified compensation through which you can return that energy to the grid and receive an economic bonus. Well, China wants to bring this concept to its electric cars. what’s happening. They count in Rest of World that the Chinese government is developing two-way charging stations for electric cars. The goal is for cars to charge during off-peak hours (when energy is cheaper) and be able to return energy to stabilize the grid during peak demand. According to government testsowners could earn 1,400 yuan for each download, about 170 euros. The plan. At the moment the system is being tested and 30 bidirectional charging stations have been installed in nine different cities. The plan is to have 5,000 by 2027 and by 2030 they expect the energy capacity to reach 1,000 million kilowatts. Why is it important. China is not only the largest manufacturer of electric vehicles in the world, it is also the country with the largest fleet of electric cars in the world, with more than 40 million vehicles in circulation. If they manage to implement it on a massive scale, they would also have the largest network of electric batteries available that would help them diversify energy sources, reduce dependence on coal and stabilize supply. Others have tried. China is not the first country to have this idea. According to the V2G-hub listthere are around 150 similar projects around the world, many of them already abandoned, but others still underway. However, none have come close to nationwide adoption. In Spain there have been at least six initiatives, one of them still underway in Menorca. Challenges. Bidirectional charging faces many challenges and technical difficulties. To start the price. A bi-directional charger costs between $2,100 and $2,800, almost triple what a normal charger costs. It is the main reason why scaling such a system is complicated, but in China they have the advantage that the government is betting heavily on subsidizing energy. Another difficulty is that not all cars are compatible with this energy, so its mass adoption would be delayed at least until a greater number of vehicles support it. Finally, there is the issue of battery degradation, a major consumer concern that could slow adoption. Electrostate. Not long ago China was the biggest polluter of the planet and, although still depends a lot on coal to generate energy, it is giving a radical turn to become an “electrostate”. The bidirectional charging initiative is another example of China’s commitment to investing in renewables. There are more, like construction of the largest solar park on the planet in Tibet or the giant Three Gorges Dam, so big that even changed the rotation of the Earth.
