that the weekend are two and a half days

by

The work week four days It is still An experiment In most of the planet where companies have carried out evidence To understand what are the benefits on both sides, both for workers and for the company. In the background, the debate of the Reduction of the working dayand in a city in China they have thought that the best idea is halfway to the rest: a weekend of two and a half days, or a working day of four and a half days. The leisure experiment. It Nikkei had. In an effort to revitalize internal spending and combat an increasingly suffocating work culture, the Chinese city of Mianyang (key industrial center of the province of Sichuan) is considering adopting a 4.5 -day work weekthus promoting a “2.5 -day weekend” model that would close offices on Friday afternoon. With a population of 4.9 million and a powerful electronic sector led by signatures such as Sichuan Changhong ElectricMianyang represents a significant scale to test this type of reforms. The government stimulates. The initiative, still in the coordination phase with local government agencies, responds directly to the national priority of stimulate domestic consumptionestablished in the last popular national assembly as part of a structural plan for Reequibly growth Chinese economy. In fact, the central authorities have begun to Actively fight The phenomenon of Illegal overfoundestablishing limits to extensive days and betting on a stricter regulation of working time in cities. Between productivity and well -being. There is much more, since the context that motivates this proposal reveals deep tensions in the Chinese labor market. In 2023, urban workers averaged 48.3 hours per weekwith a notable increase among young people between 30 and 34, the demographic group with the highest spending potential. This pattern has been promoted for years through an intensive business culture, synthesized in the famous and controversial standard “996” (work from 9 to 21 hours, six days a week), which was officially declared illegal in 2021 by the Popular Supreme Court. An extended standard. However, the Practice has persistedfed by an economic slowdown that has hardened the conditions for university graduates, many of whom feel forced to prolong their schedules to demonstrate commitment. This work pressure has resulted in a phenomenon that we have counted before known as Neijuana spiral of internal competition that consumes time, mental health and real productivity, and that the government now seek to deactivate before SOCAVE even more national economic dynamism. From the pilot to the precedent. While Mianyang studies formalizing the extended weekend model, some companies have already given The first steps. Measurean appliance manufacturer based in Foshan, has begun to recommend to its employees that Leave the office Punctually at 6 in the afternoon, a practice that although not mandatory, has become almost universal in the company. Other technological firms Like Dji have adopted similar measures, imposing a Maximum limit from day at 9:00 p.m. Decisions that, partly motivated by external pressure and the desire to cut costs, also reflect a slow but firm turn towards a business culture less focused on Toxic hyperproductivity. Even so, even in these environments, Nikkei had That many employees continue to work after abandoning the building, prolonging technical discussions and reviews in front of the laptop into night calls, indicating that the real change is still far. Structural challenge. It is the last of the legs that should be analyzed, because the precedent is not entirely encouraging: previous attempts to establish weeks of 2.5 days in other Chinese locations They failedabandoned in the absence of institutional commitment or business resistance. However, the magnitude of the challenge current forces rethink balance between economic competitiveness and social sustainability. To succeed, the Mianyang case It could become a replicable model for other second -line cities, not only helping to improve the quality of life of millions of workers, but also Promote consumption (The real background objective) by creating more free time. In an economy where the growth of private spending is essential to replace the Measurement of exports and the state investment, release Leisure hours could be as strategic as building factories.

is that these types of events will become increasingly frequent

by

Since the end of May the meteorology in Spain has been A roller mountain in which summer heat days have alternated with days of thermal drops and abundant storms. And if the last of these episodes of instability has been characterized by something has been for the intense hails seen in some points of the peninsular center. After the beak. After reaching Wednesday its peak of activity, the last stormy episode begins to love the Peninsula. However, the chronicle of a hail leaves us that in some places reached the ground with a considerable size such as three centimeter balls Views in Madrid. And suddenly, Pedrisco. The big question is how we have come to see such a situation in the middle of June, when the weather spring has come to an end. The key may be precisely in the thermal oscillations that we have lived during these weeks. According to they explain from Eltiempo.essurface heat generates ascending convective currents. These are entered into clouds of great vertical growth and raise water drops to large heights. From water to ice. These drops, in their ascent they can reach very cold layers of the atmosphere, when reaching the -15º Celsius They begin to form hail. Ice falls by gravity, but can rise again trapped by convective currents. When descending, hail captures moisture dragged by the warm air that returns it to the high and cold layers. The result is hail balls that increasingly accumulate more water, more mass and greater diameter. Finally, atmospheric instability ends up unleashing storms in which accumulated hail is precipitated against the surface. End of the stormy episode. Meteorologists point out that the last stormy episode has come to an end: the Dana responsible for instability seen these days moves away from the peninsula. However, storms will not complete has issued several notices For storms and possibility of hail. Among these notices are orange notices due to an important risk of storms, in force tomorrow on the Ebro banks in Zaragoza and in the province of Huesca. In some areas, storm notices of these days will coexist with notices due to high temperatures. A problem that will go to more. Climate experts point out that the frequency and intensity of extreme weather phenomena will increase as a consequence of climate change. Although we associate storms to instability and cold, heat plays an important role. The heat not only generates ascending currents that alter the structure of the clouds, there is also the fact that hot air causes the atmosphere to accumulate more moisture. More water in the atmosphere means greater rainfall associated with storms such as those lived during these days.

Ozempic and blindness, we have been on the track of an extremely rare adverse effect for months. Now the AEMPS has taken a step forward

by

A few days ago the The United Kingdom warned on an unexpected effect associated with the use of Ozempic and treatments based on the same principle, the phenomenon of Ozempic Babies. Now the Spanish Agency for Medicines and Health Products (AEMPS) has also issued a statement but this time as a consequence of a very different effect. Adverse reaction. This week the AEMPS, the agency in charge of ensuring that the drugs meet the required standards, has issued A statement To warn of a very uncommon ocular adverse reaction “associated with treatments based on the semaglutida, the active compound of drugs such as Ozempic, Rybelsus or Wegovy. The notice occurs after the Committee for the Risk Assessment in Pharmacovigilance (PRAC) of the European Medication Agency (EMA) reviewed the risk of developing an ocular condition called Niana, which can cause loss of sudden vision. While the agency affects that the frequency of appearance of this type of eye problems is “very low”, it recommends that a sudden loss of vision is carried out an ophthanmological examination for Evaluate the possibility to interrupt the treatment. Noiana. Noiana is an acronym that refers to calls Previous ischemic optical neuropathiesNaion in English. These ailments are caused For the infarction of the optic nerve head. In other words, blood does not reach this eye region and a loss of vision occurs, which is typically fast but painless. It is an unknown and infrequent disease, not only in the context of those who follow a trailer treatment: its prevalence in the general population is approximately 10 cases per 100,000 inhabitants. A year on track. A year agoa study I found indications of the relationship between the treatments of Semaglutida and Niana. Indications such as those that gave rise to the evaluation by the Pract. The Committee reviewed clinical and preclinical essay data together with suspicion of adverse reactions, explains the AEMPS. This work resulted in the conclusion that trailer treatment can be associated with a risk of developing this disorder but indicate that with a very low frequency. The AEMPS speaks of “an increase in the risk of developing Niana of approximately double compared to people not exposed to this treatment. This corresponds to an additional case of NOIANA for every 10,000 patients treated with semagglutida for a year.” And what about the “other ozempic”? The AEMPS statement focuses on the drug -based drugs such as Ozempic, Rybelsus and Wegovy but does not indicate whether similar effects have been detected on similar treatments such as those based on the tirzepatida, such as Zepbound and Mounjaro. A medication with side effects. Like any drug, the semaglutida has a series of Contraindications and side effects. It should be remembered in this sense that the success of drugs such as Ozempic began when it was observed that this treatment against diabetes made those who followed it lost weight.

You will fold your advertising

by

In January 2024, Amazon introduced ads in its programming. It was one more (the last important one, in fact) on the long list of platforms that were embedding them in their catalog, seeking to improve their results and Following the steps of which already marked the rhythm of changes in industry, Netflix. And although he promised a very specific percentage of advertising in his programs, now – a year and a half after that ad – is increasing it without warning. Three to six. The treatment seemed reasonable: two to three and a half minutes of advertising for each hour of programming. But According to Adweek From a study made with six advertisers and documents to which the medium has had access, that percentage has been bent in recent months, until it reaches about four-seis minutes per hour of programming. Earlier this month, Amazon herself announced it in an email aimed at her advertisers, according to Adweek. Why do they. The Amazon movement has a clear objective: to increase the number of spaces available for advertising, which goes in line with the improvement of its services for advertisers, which also details the medium: an information system to its customers about the performance of their ads that, apparently, exceeds its competitors, auctions private space and improvements through artificial intelligence facing the future. At present, its average advertisements is comparable to that of other platforms, but it is still far from traditional television, where advertising is around fifteen minutes per hour. Advertising arrives to stay. Virtually none of the great platforms are already broadcasting without ads. Netflix was not only the first, but is eliminating the basic plan without advertisingso that subscribers have no choice but to pay more if they want to avoid it. They followed him Max from Warner, Disney+ and Skyshowtime. Only Apple TV+ seems to resist at the moment to implement them, although He will do it In the future. And the thing is not going to change at the moment: they are generating income, so Amazon’s passage makes sense. Better ads. Although the increase in advertising is not good news for anyone (not even for advertisers, who see how the exclusivity halo disappears that these spaces could originally have), it is true that it is more sophisticated advertising than that of traditional television, more online than what happens on the Internet, but less massive. In this way, advertisements can not only be segmented according to interests and demographic groups of the audience based on the data that Amazon keeps over us, but technological advances can be implemented such as the possibility of buy directly from the ad. In the Amazon store, of course. The experience falls. Of course, there is a principal harmed in all this: the client who sees how the ads multiply without being able to do anything to stop them. All this happens while the promised higher qualities in image and sound, such as 4K among others, are not standardized except the opposite. On Amazon herself, for example, Dolby Vision and Dolby Atmos They disappeared from the Basic Prime Video Planwhich, for practical purposes is a rise in the cost of the service even if the rate does not change: less quality, more advertisements, in increasingly degraded services. In Xataka | Netflix has tired that all its series and movies look like Netflix series and movies. And you have a plan to change it

The SOC Kirin 9020 of Huawei demonstrates how much China has advanced with the chips. And also how much you have to do

by

Huawei and SMIC (Semiconductor manufacturing international corp) They go hand in hand in their adventure to sustain the Chinese semiconductor industry. The sanctions that The US government has deployed During the last two and a half years they seek to stop the development of Chinese companies that are dedicated to the design and manufacture of integrated circuits. The country’s semiconductor industry led by Xi Jinping brings together hundreds of companies, but these two are its spearhead. And they are because presumably are the ones that have the most resources at their disposal to innovate. And they are doing it. In fact, SMIC currently has the ability to manufacture Integrated 6 and 7 nm circuits. In addition, you are about to start 5 Nm chip production and plan to start Its first 3 nod nodes equipped with gaa transistors (Gate-alall-around) in 2026. It is not but that we are bad if we keep in mind that Chinese manufacturers do not have access to equipment extreme ultraviolet photolithography (UVE) of ASML, which are the ideal to produce these semiconductors. The Soc Kirin 9020 is a half success The launch of the new smartphones family Huawei pure 80 It invites us to take a look at your SOC to identify what it proposes and what integration technology is involved in its manufacture. This chip has been produced by SMIC in its 7 Nm node and class N+2. This terminology indicates that it is a 7 Nm and second generation lithograph Mate 60 Pro of Huawei. SMIC already has the ability to manufacture integrated circuits of 6 nm. And soon you can also produce 5 nm chips We have not yet had the opportunity to try any of the pure family 80 smartphones equipped with this SOC, but it is reasonable to anticipate that it will give users a satisfactory experience. Even so, it is evident that your performance by watt will not be comparable to that of The soc that manufactures TSMC in its nodes of 3 and 5 nm. As I mentioned a few lines above, SMIC already has the ability to manufacture integrated 6 NM circuits, and soon it can also produce 5 Nm semiconductors, but it is limited by the performance of the deep ultraviolet lithography equipment (UVP) you have in your possession. It is meritorious that SMIC and Huawei engineers have managed to refine their integrated circuit manufacturing processes what is necessary to produce chips of 5, 6 and 7 nm with the ASML UVP equipment, but a priori it is very unlikely that with these machines they will be able to go beyond the 3 Nm. And it is because the technique of Multiple patterningwhich is what they are using, imposes important limitations. A note: This strategy in broad strokes consists in transferring the pattern to the wafer in several passes with the purpose of increasing the resolution of the lithographic process. His problem is that he usually has an upward impact on the cost of chips and the decline in production capacity. For China it is a big problem not to have the necessary technology to produce avant -garde semiconductors comparable to those who manufacture Intel, AMD or Qualcomm, among other western alignment companies. The great hope of the country led by Xi Jinping is having as soon as possible Your own UVE photolithography teamsand it seems that they are close. In fact, A filtration has revealed that Huawei is already testing a prototype of one of these machines. If this information is finally confirmed and China has its commercial UVE machines in 2026 will have taken a crucial step in its pulse with the US.

The US had launched a pulse to China with tariff

by

United States and China reached last Wednesday a preliminary agreement to reactivate the commercial truce for a period of six months. The two -day trade negotiations in London They culminated in a temporary frame to implement the consensus of Geneva, through which the United States establishes new tariffs and China more flexible the export licenses of their rare earths. The context: May 10, the United States and China They gathered in Geneva For your first meeting aimed at negotiating the reciprocal tariffs. Two days later, they reached an agreement for the de -escalated: United States reduced Chinese export tariffs from 145% to 30%while China established 10% tariffs on US imports. There were no changes to the most sensitive measure: the restriction of rare earth export imposed by China after meeting The first tariff fees of the US government. Since then, the dancing of measures and counterweights has not ceased. The novelty. After new rounds of conversation in Landinense Lancaster A new agreement To reduce commercial tensions. On the part of the United States, a 55% tariff is proposed to the importation of Chinese products, the admission of Chinese students in their universities, and export controls to products such as reaction engines and gases such as ethane, a key raw material for the petrochemical industry are flexible. China maintains a 10% tariff to imports from the United States and relaxes license concessions for six months to exports from the key to move or paralyze a good part of the world industry: Rare earths. It is not a victory for the United States. That China temporarily flexible the export of rare earths is not a symptom of commercial weakness, It is a symptom of power. The country led by Xi Jinping has control over the extraction and processing of rare earths (and all the necessary elements to work with them). The agreement is proof that, each time China wants to negotiate, it has only to open or close the tap. These materials are and will be critical as ammunition for future negotiations. If the United States squeezes, China will drown with the export of licenses. Rare earths are the center of the Chinese defensive strategy, and key to stabilize the trade of key components for strategic sectors such as the electric, defense, computing or chemical industry. Nor will it go free. Financial Times sources They ensure that the granting of rare earth licenses will be subject to strict export controls. Among them, the demand for commercial information as a currency to the supply. The Ministry of Commerce would be requesting details about the production process as part of its approval process. Concrete data about its operations, personnel, final use applications, production information, product images or facilities, are some of the data that China would be demanding from its customers, according to Frank Eckard (Executive Director of Magnosphere, German manufacturer of magnets). The consequences. Licenous restriction measures for rare earth export was beginning to drown certain industries. In the United States, companies like Ford They had to stop part of their productionand they have not been the only ones. Is A measure with global impactsince the supply chain is interconnected. Suzuki in Japan had to stop Swift productionand The tensions about the future of the data centers were in the air. On the United States side, it is especially relevant that their currency is the admission of Chinese students in their universities. China is the first worldwide “factory” of students Stem: 38% of the experts in Americans come from there. The tariff, raised to 55%, remains a sign of the tension and commercial pulse. A constant dance figure with which Trump tries to mark his dominant position. Image | Lio voo In Xataka | The US will not be able to contain the technological development of China.

The drones of the greatest attack against Russia lost the signal before reaching the target. Ukraine had an ace in the manga

by

On June 1 and the agreed time, trucks parked for weeks in several points from Russia They opened their doors. A swarm of more than 100 advanced drones thus began a mission that was destined for several air bases in Moscow. Upon reaching the designated objectives, explosive loads were automatically activated. The mission was historic for The sophistication level in the Uncianned war. In fact, the drones even lost every signal before achieving the goal. And at that time the algorithms came into play. The face that changes the war. We had slipped it weeks agobut now it has been The Financial Times The one described that AS in the Ukraine manga so that the Spiderweb operation was a success. The war in Eastern Europe has entered a new phase marked by accelerated integration of artificial intelligence In attack and defense systems, and in “Spiderweb”, where the drones successfully attacked Russian military airfields even beyond the Arctic Circle, it was key. A new generation. The operation, carried out by the Ukraine Security Service (SBU), not only evidenced Kyiv’s technical and strategic capacity for enemybut exposed the growing importance of Automation On the modern battlefield. Behind the attack was a new generation of drones designed by the First Contact companydirected by Valeriy Borovyk, whose flagship, The Osastands out for its sophistication, high -end materials and autonomous navigation capabilities resistant to adverse conditions and interference systems. These devices, five times more expensive that conventional drones were scheduled to continue their flight following pre -established routes even After losing signal and automatically detonate when reaching the goal. SBU map that illustrates drone transports in trucks from Cheliábinsk to the five target air bases Assisted autonomy. He counted the medium that the development of these drones has not been exclusive to a single company. Yaroslav Azhnyuk, creator From The Fourth LawHe explained that both Ukraine and Russia are expanding their deployment capacity of autonomous systems in early stages, although still with partial human intervention in the terminal guidance. For a year, Adehnyuk He has delivered To the lines of the Front Systems with these experimental functions, and other Ukrainian companies have followed the same path. The idea of ​​delegating final decisions to AI in environments where signals can be easily blocked by the enemy has become a tactical need rather than a technological ambition. In parallel, the Ministry of Digital Transformation of Ukraine recently announced the activation of carrying drones capable of Fly 300 kilometers and launch two free FPV, thus expanding the operational dimension of these tools in strategic depth. Invisible war. We had already talked about the term With optical fiber. In this war of wear, technology not only responds to advances but also to deficiencies. The lack of anti -aircraft missiles, artillery or ammunition has forced Ukraine to reinvent continuously. Civil foundations like The Prytula Foundationheaded by Bohdan Danyliv, they have contributed hundreds of fixed wing interceptors They have managed to demolish almost 250 Russian drones, demonstrating how improvised solutions have compensated for the shortage of traditional systems. Russia has not been left behind. He has identified Ukrainian drones and has counterattacked with improved modelsmany of them equipped with autonomous technology, optical fiber and even components from American video game consoles, According to services of Ukrainian intelligence. This evolution reveals a technological career in which the borders between civil and military are increasingly blurred. The Russian challenge. It We have explained: One of the most surprising turns has been the effectiveness of Russian drones connected by fiber optic cable, a seemingly rudimentary solution but brutally effective in front of Ukrainian interference systems. This technology, which allows operators to control drones without worrying about electronic blockages, has been decisive in the recent Russian offensive In the Kursk region, where they have made faster advances than at any other time since November. The Ukrainian reaction has been slow. Oleksandr Yakovenko, director of Taf Drones, recognized having underestimated the potential of this technique, and your company now tries to recover land by increasing production to 10,000 fiber optic drones per month, although he admits that they would need to manufacture at least 70,000 to match the Russian offensive capacity. New war balance. It seems clear that drone war It is no longer a complement to the conflict, but its central operating core. In an environment saturated with interference, scarcity of resources and geostrategic pressure, Ukraine and Russia face in a duel where innovation is not a luxury, but A vital imperative. Artificial intelligence, autonomous systems, improvised production networks and unexpected adaptations such as the use of cables or video games are redefining the limits of the possible. Seen, the question that looms over the coming months does not seem to be who has more drones, but who will adapt faster in a war where intelligence, in any of its forms, has become the decisive factor.

France and Spain wanted to ban social networks to children under 15. The European Union has stopped their feet

by

France threatened yesterday with prohibiting access to social networks to those under 15 years If the EU did not rule on a community policy that unified the criterion for all the countries of the Union. Brussels’s response to this demand has been equally overwhelming. Each country is a world. Brussels He ruled out Wednesday The possibility of establishing a minimum community age to access social networks. There was a proposal led by Greece, France and Spain to establish it in 15 years, but those responsible for the European Union have it clear: there will not be a unique criterion, and each country must establish their own. Of community prohibition, nothing. Thomas Regnier, spokesman for technological sovereignty of the Community Executive, He indicated yesterday In the daily press conference that although they took note of the announcement of Emmanuel Macron, “a prohibition of social networks at European level is not something that the commission is promoting. This is prerogative of the Member States.” The tragedy. The Macron statements And his attempt to accelerate the implementation of a community access to social networks It comes from afar. However, that debate was urgently reactivated After the tragedy occurred on Tuesday at a Nogent school, in the Haute-Marne region. There a 14 -year -old student was arrested after killing a 31 -year -old watchman who performed routine backpacks. There is no evidence that this attack occurred for something that the adolescent saw on social networks. The community proposal does not advance. Several European Union countries They have been maintaining a debate on whether a minimum age must be established at the community level to access social networks. The initiative was led by Greece, France and Spain, but Italy, Denmark, Croatia, Slovakia and the Netherlands also supported it. Precisely Spain and Slovakia were the ones that were most shown and proposed to establish that minimum age in 16 years, while France, Greece or Denmark proposed to establish it at 15. That proposal, however, has not advanced. The RGPD as an instrument. He General Data Protection Regulation (RGPD) already has article 8, which is specifically oriented to regulate the access of minors to “information society services”. According to said regulations“Member States may establish by law a lower age for such purposes, provided that this is not less than 13 years.” And the DSA prepares changes. The Digital Services Law is also preparing to establish regulation that affects minors. In fact, guidelines are prepared that theoretically will be published this summer and that will force the platforms – social funds among them – to protect the safety and privacy of minors. Private accounts, age verification. Among the measures that they must adopt is that the accounts of the minors are believed as private by default, in addition to the implementation of age verification measures. AGE VERIFICATION APP. As he points out The European Commission, in parallel to these guidelines, an age verification application is being developed that provides a solution until the European digital identity The EU is ready at the end of 2026. The technical specifications of said app are now available In Github. Image | Markus Spiske In Xataka | The Japanese are ceasing to consume paper pornography.

In full birth crisis, the ice cream industry has found a new reef in Spain: dogs

by

No, it’s not yours. For a long time in the parks of Spain (and in the streets, squares, shopping centers and thus a long etcetera of places) it is easier to find pets than with babies. Some calculations They point out that in our country there are already six companion animals for each child under four years. Hence the sector dedicated to your care be growing and tante new business roads, such as Cruises canines or the elaboration of ice cream and “Cafes” Suitable for dogs. In Barcelona there are already a few examples. Pet ice cream? That’s how it is. And we don’t talk about ice cream for pets suitable for pets, but ice cream specifically elaborated For dogs and cats, thinking about the foods that tolerate and advertise as such. One of the most recent examples leaves it Zampa Gelatothat He just launched In Barcelona Tarrinas that are announced with A slogan that leaves a few doubts about his approach: “The ice cream one hundred percent natural that makes your pet happy and veterinarian.” In its catalog it includes watermelon options and red fruits, apple, pear and kiwi or coconut, pineapple and banana, elaborate ice cream, says, based on pasteurized yogurt without lactose without lactose, lyophilized and mineral fruits. “It is not another product within a range, it is our specialization. Zampa Gelato focuses exclusively on developing healthy pets for pets,” They claim From the firm. Is it an isolated case? Not at all. The pet ice cream market is perhaps still far from the centered in humans, but there are more examples. Bibì e Bibò ice cream shops, with a presence in Madrid, have created a Special line “100% suitable for dogs” that elaborates, among other ingredientswith several fruits, ill -free yogurt without lactose and dispensing with added sugars. The newspaper of Catalonia Precise also that one of the partners who has embarked on the launch of Zampa in Barcelona is in turn part of the team behind Il Gelato Dell´amorea “Mixed ice cream shop” which boasts of having ice cream for both humans and their four -legged companions. They are just a couple of examples, but there is more. Now A couple years Barcelona’s Badiani ice cream shop also elaborated a GELATO For dogs. They called him Dog Gelato and in 2023 the magazine Elle I presented it as a sweet refreshing with 96.65% less lactose than the rest of its ice cream and basically made with whipped cream, egg yolk, plant fibers, water, fructose and whole milk and low dust in lactose. In 2024, to give him More visibilityBadiani launched a campaign that offered customers a portrait with their pets. But … why? Basically because there are interested owners and especially willing to pay for those services. “Given the growth and demand of premises Pet-Friendly We did a small market study, “said Nebot recently to The newspaper. “The acceptance by the clients was fulminant. The idea is to go out for something with your pet and that is not under the table sucking an ice or waiting for the last piece of cookie of your ice cream.” As a reference last year Il Gelato Dell´amore sold More than a thousand tarrines Canines in August. Are there only ice cream? No. ice cream are just one more example (perhaps the most summery) of the growing range of pet products and services. The list is wide and includes articles that we so far believed exclusive for humans, such as “coffees”, “cocktails”, “snacks” or even “champagne benjamines”. All this with proper quotes because these are products designed for dogs that play with recognizable formats in the market for their owners. The Ciudad Ciudad has just left another good example. Not long ago opened its doors there Voilà Concept Storean exclusive cafeteria for dogs and that includes in its letter “dogguccinos”, “dogtails”, meat lollipops, donuts (“Woof-Waffle”) or empanadillas and special cakes. The canine capuchino is made, for example, with cream without lactose and puppy milk and TOPPINGS They are used are pork, chicken or fish. In the establishment there are also pet accessories. What shows us? Beyond the concrete articles or businesses, the previous examples tell us about two clear trends: the changes of a society in which it is increasingly common to meet pets than with children and the business that is promoting. In February The country did A poll Between veterinarians and it came out that at the end of 2024 in Spain there were 1.6 million cats and 9.3 million dogs.
