The idea of ​​”a house for a lifetime” without fear of move

by

In the Barcelona of the 21st century, the houses are no longer taken in which one is born, raised, pushes roots and even ends up founding a new family that takes over. Send the change. The horizons for a handful of years seen. That is one of the main conclusions of the report of the Economic and Social Consell of Barcelona (CESB) On the city’s residential park, its area and the Metropolitan Region. It reveals that more or less half Of the neighbors of the Catalan capital they have changed residence or will do so throughout the decade between 2018 and 2027. The big question is: why? Houses for life. The concept of “house for a lifetime” is falling in Barcelona. He last report On its residential park presented yesterday by CESB, it shows that the removals are the order of the day in the Catalan capital and many of its neighbors have changed their house or will do so over the next few years. “An important part of the population expects that it will change housing in the five years after the survey,” Clarify the report of CESB, which is based on a survey made in 2022. Although the survey was conducted several years ago their conclusions are interesting because they show an increase in moving plans among the Barcelona population. Specifically, it has detected an increase of 12.6% compared to the 2017 data. “The Condal city especially records a high change in housing,” They slide Its authors. And what does the report reveal? Thanks to the combination of several sources, the study of CESB provides an “radiography” of residential mobility in Barcelona, ​​the rest of the area and the whole of the Metropolitan Region, a wide territory by which they are distributed 2.2 million homes. The most interesting data is those of the Ciudad Ciudad, where 35.5%of the population provided for changing housing during the five years of the survey, conducted in 2022. In the rest of the Barcelona area they had move plans around a third (29%) of the neighbors and in the region 25.8%. That is the short -term forecast, between 2022 and 2027. The other great question that the report answers is … How many people have already changed residence in recent years? According to its calculations, during the five years prior to the survey, 30.4% of the population of the city. In the rest of the conurbation it was made by 23.1% and in the external crown that completes the Metropolitan Region 25.1%. And what is the general photo? “If changes are combined in the last five years and the forecast of the next five shows how about half of the population of each of the areas has changed housing or plans to do so during the 2018-2027 period,” collect the report Sector published yesterday by CESB. “The city is especially suffering from a high change, being the only area where more than half of the population (50.7%) is expected to change housing throughout that period.” Subscribers to the removals. That the specific case of Barcelona has caught the attention of the technicians is not explained so much for the number of people who have already moved or plan to do so as for those who fit both profiles. That is, Barcelona who have changed home in recent years and plan to do it again. In the Catalan capital They represent 14.9% of the population, compared to 9.1% of the conurbation and 8.5% of the rest of the region. “In conclusion, a high rate of housing is observed throughout the Metropolitan Region, with especially high figures in Barcelona, ​​where more than half of the people are expected during the period analyzed,” The report concludes. “Especially serious is the situation of that 15% of Barcelona who plan to change housing twice in just ten years, with the difficulties that this can behave when it comes to vital stability or roots in the territory.” Why do they move? CESB also answers that doubt. And its conclusion is striking: the main reason that leads the population to change home is “to improve housing or the environment.” That is the reason behind 34.7% of the removals counted in Barcelona and about 40% of those registered in the metropolitan area and the region. The second reason (28.2% in the Catalan capital) is the desire to form a home or other family reasons. Interestingly, the report itself indicates that in a significant part (and also growing) of homes reside only one or two people. And prices? The economic factor is also behind not a few moves, although it motivates less than the search for better locations or family motifs. The study indicates that almost a quarter (24.5%) of the changes registered in the city in recent years respond to “economic reasons” or “forced” reasons and alien to the will of those who reside in housing, such as a demolition, an expulsion or the end of a contract. That reason is far superior to that of moving for labor reasons, which explain between 5 and 10% of residences changes. “Regarding the forecasts for the next five years, about half of the people who plan to change floor plan to do so to improve their own home or environment,” They abound. The economic or force majeure reasons are maintained in third place in the ranking, behind the relatives, although they lose strength: it is estimated that they will go from 24.5% to 14.7%. What is the context? CESB has presented the study in a complex context, marked by The increase of housing (both in the lease market and in the sale) and The pressure exercised by holiday rental, which has even taken Barcelona to Declare war to tourist floors. Such is the situation that housing has become The main concern of its neighbors, tied with insecurity. The CESB report also provides other interesting data that help complete the radiography of the Barcelona Residential Park and its area, such as 15.9% of … Read more

I had been there for 30,000 years

by

It is no secret since some of the species that preceded the Homo sapiens They were able not only to use tools but also capable of molding and manufacturing them. And this not only refers to our “close relatives” of the genre Homolike Neanderthals or H. erectus: Millions of years ago that our ancestors already carved stones in their African habitat. A Neanderthal tool. However, it has not been until now that we have realized that a spearhead made with bone, the oldest found in Europe, It had been manufactured by a group of Neanderthals. The dating has placed its manufacture at a point between 80,000 and 70,000 years ago, before the arrival of our species to the continent. Although we knew that Neanderthals (like other previous species) were able to manufacture and use tools, to date we used to consider that Neanderthals only used stones as the main element of their utensils. The use of bones as a raw material was created a subsequent “invention”, of the sapiens. 2003. The protagonist of this story is a bone spearhead found in 2003 in the Russian cave of Mezmaiskaya, located in the northern Caucasus. The bone I could have belonged to an animal of considerable size, such as a bison. Before arrival. He study of this artifact He took the team responsible for the new study to conclude that European Neanderthals managed to develop this “technology”, before coming into contact with our species during the upper Paleolithic. Of course, the team indicates that the use of bone tip weapons was at a “nascent level” if compared to those introduced in Eurasia by the Homo sapiens. Bituminous residue. In addition to the bone, the team also lent Attention to adhesive Employee to join the tip to the body of the spear. Through various methodologies, including infrared and spectroscopy microscopy, the team studied the bituminous residue of what would have been the adherent used in the weapon and determined that it would have been linked to a body made of wood. The details of the study were published In an article In the magazine Journal of Archaeological Science. A key transition. Although the idea that Neanderthals were a species that in a matter of reasoning had little to envy ours, the notion that they always went “a rebufo” of the sapiens is difficult to eliminate. While the arrival of modern humans meant important changes in prehistoric Europe, It is difficult to determine In what instances were a transfer of knowledge and techniques and in what instances the Neanderthals were able to develop certain technologies. An example of this we have in The glue. Today we know that Neanderthals were able to develop compound glue that they used in their tools instead of simple glue (such as bituminous). This is not limited to the case of Neanderthals. A recent study Made in one of the oldest known African deposits, Olduvai’s, showed evidence of the use of bone tools more than one million years ago in time, even before the appearance of the first Homo sapiens.

Why we get eating spaghetti

by

The physics of little things is an expression that surely brings us atoms and subatomic particles, or takes us to the field of quantum physics. But we could also for refer to everyday lifewhich is also the object of the interest of this science. And in this everyday, we could say that spaghetti dishes score very high. A few weeks ago, the British chain BBC I reviewed Of the multiple times that this pasta dish had been the protagonist in some scientific research. From how to create ultrafine spaghetti to its viscoelastic capacity, through the problem of Feynman spaghetti, and without forgetting the science of their sauces. The list is not short. But among all these brave analyzes, perhaps the most daily is the one who tried to answer the question: why is it so difficult to eat spaghetti without staining? A little over 75 years ago, George F. Carrier set out to answer this question. Brown University mathematician enunciated the details of his solution through a Article published in 1949 In the magazine The American Mathematical Monthly Under the title “The problem of spaghetti”(The Spaghetti Problem). “There are two problems concerning with the lateral vibrations of the strings that should be of considerable popular and academic interest: (the first is) the problem of describing the motion of a rope in finite length that is vertically ocekerly through a hole (this is obviously related to the title (of the academic article)),” Carrier introduced. The second of the problems refers to a problem related to the oscillation of the guitar strings. In its section dedicated to the “problem of spaghetti”, Carrier formalized through equations the movement of these strings, a movement that we can apply to The lashes given by the spaghetti When they are absorbed, whipping that in turn are capable of spreading the sauce that bathes this pasta leaving everything lost around. Including, of course, the diner (and possibly its companions). The other food science As little ones, they probably teach us not to play with food, but it is not uncommon for scientists of very varied disciplines to experience it and do so in a way that might seem banal. Or even hilarious. From Convert an apple In the unexpected symbol of gravity until a certain obsession In trying things of the strangest, the history of science is full of examples that illustrate this obsession with food. For example, we have the collaborative effort that was unleashed when a microbiologist found that this soup that had forgotten in the fridge had become blue. The curiosity to know which organism had dyed that broth He unleashed a soap opera of several weeks in which different laboratories in different geographical areas collaborated to answer the question. An accurate formula for find experiments Rocambolescos is attending to the palmarés of the Awards Nobel IGthat every year they reward absurd and funny science, which “first makes people laugh, and then make them think”, according to the promoters themselves, the magazine Annals of improbable researcch. We found one of these examples at the 2004 ceremony, in which the Public Health Award was taken an analysis of the “Five second rule”That is, a study on whether the time elapsed between the fall of a food to the ground and the moment in which we collect it affects its health. Ten years later, the award would be for an IRTA-Food Safety Program team, which study If some gastric bacteria isolated from baby feces could serve as a crop to obtain probiotics. One of the most recent examples is found in 2023, with the Award to A study dedicated to the viability of enhance the taste of food through slight electric shocks. Because the science that answers the big doubts also serves to answer the small questions. In Xataka | We have found “spaghetti” on Mars.

Three methods to do it with few clicks

by

Let’s tell you three methods to release space in Windows 11 with few clicksso that you can delete a lot of leftover files. In the end, just using the computer you end up accumulating various types of temporary files that are useless, but occupy space. In Xataka Basics we have already told you How to clean Windows in depthbut now we are going to focus on faster methods. Thus, if you do not have time for thorough cleaning, you will be able to perform a quick eliminating a lot of leftover files and accumulated garbage. Access temporary files One of the fastest methods is to open the Windows start menu and write Execute. When you do, In the written dialog box %TMP% and click on Accept. This will open the file explorer in the folder where all the temporary files that you have compiled since the last time you clean. Once you are in this folder, you just have to select and delete all files temporal. Before doing, be sure to have all closed programs and applications to avoid problems. And do not worry, because in the case of erasing something that a program needs, the temporary file will be lowered. Use storage settings Another option is to resort to the tool designed by Windows for this task. To do so, enter the Windows configuration, click on Systemand then Storage. In it, you can see immediately The space you are using on your hard drivesalso indicating what things are going to you. Here inside, now you have to click on the section Temporary filesto access all of them with this method. Windows will take a few minutes to analyze and load the files. When finished, click on Remove filesand all the storms and the paper saving space will be erased. Use the storage sensor And the last option is activate and configure the Storage sensor of Windows. It is an internal program that is automatically and periodically erase the temporary files, the duplicates or those that have not used time, and thus save space. To access this option, go to the Windows configuration, click on Systemand enter the section of Storage. Here inside now Activate the option of Storage sensor. This will leave this program active to analyze your hard drive and clean it with garbage files every little time. When you do, you will also be able click on Storage sensor To enter your configuration. This will allow you to choose how it works, being able to delete the temporary files of applications you do not use, choosing every day how many days the content of the recycling folder is eliminated, or even automatically erasing the content of the folder every day Downloads. You can also choose when to execute this sensor, being able to make it only be done when it starts to take some space on your hard drive. In addition, you can configure how to act with the files that are lowered and are also synchronized in the cloud. And you don’t have to do anything else. You can click on Clean now To execute the storage sensor or leave it activated to act on your own when you see it necessary as you have configured.

Asve Arex is one of the most exclusive supercaries in the world. He has just sold for what a Dacia Duster costs

by

For car lovers, Supercars They are admiration articles. They suppose the culmination of aesthetics (Sometimes questionable) and the power at the service of a single purpose: The speed. We are accustomed to certain brands that Mark the guideline In the segment of this type of sports, but sometimes there are those who skip the ‘rules’ to create His own sports. It was the case of the extravagant ASVE AREX SUPER COUPE, a car created by a Disney retired actor. And the craziest is not that, but redefined brands like Toyota and that that unique sports in the world has been auctioned by what a dacia costs. Change of airs. The name of David John Stollery III It may not sound to you at all. He was born in 1941 and was a child actor who starred in Disney films in the 50 and some series in later times. However, there was something that did Tilín more than the performance: mechanics and cars design. That is why he retired from the Disney factory to study Art Center College of Design And, later, he joined the ranks of General Motors. There he worked as a designer, but it was not where he flourished. Something had to see Toyota in the young designer, who hired him to work in his center in California, where he also allowed him to open the first design center of the Japanese brand in US territory: the Calty Design Research. Toyota Celica ’78. It was in 1973 when he began working with Noritsuna Watanabe and the goal was not simple: redefine the future of the brand’s vehicles, with an eye on the tastes of the Americans, very different from those of the Japanese. Stollery and his team began to work and, after a couple of concepts, the Californian division gave birth to the new generation of the mythical celica that so many so many We have driven in video games. He Toyota Celica of 1978 remained that approach to Mustang of Ford, but now with 2.2 -liter engines for the US market and two finishes models depending on the buyer’s pocket. From there, generation after generation was improved to become a banner of Japanese consumption sports. The Celica del 78 Restless rear. In total, Stollery directed the design of 22 models of the Japanese firm between commercial and conceptual models, but the designer wanted something else. Thus, in 1983, Stollery founded his own design and prototyped cars study: the Industrial Design Research with which he could accept orders of external signatures, but also give free rein to his creative vision. Among those clients was Toyota, but also Subaru, Chrysler, Mazma, Renault or General Motors. And among the projects were the Foreaeroa rare mixture between 750cc car and motorcycle with three wheels of which only 30 and its great work were built: the Asve Arex. ASVE AREX SUPER COUPE. We are facing a supercar that Stollery perfected for almost two decades and had brutal benefits. With a tip speed of 320 km/Hy, an acceleration of 0-100 in three seconds, the 400 hp V8 engine of an LT1 Corvette with central location and rear traction should be like an indomitable horse. ASVE AREX has a double fork suspension on the four wheels, butterfly doors, very pointed lines and a strange nose inspired by the aviation segment. It was a unique unit, literally, since it was conceived as a sample of his company’s creative and technological potential. A bargain. It was never manufactured in series and Stollery, who used it until 2019 decided to donate it to the museum Zimmerman Automobile Driving That same year. However, things did not go too well and, with the closing of the museum, this juicy piece has been auctioned. There was no minimal price and … How much would you say that a work can achieve so unique created by a team that you knew what you did? Surely, think about the figure you think, it is too high for which it has ended up. Because, as we read in Car and DriverThe World Worldwide Auctiques House closed the bid at $ 25,000. It is an extremely curious price for what this car means and for what we say: it is a unique piece in the world. But well, the auctions sometimes have these things, as a rarity goes so unnoticed. And, speaking of rare things, IDR has also designed during these years … Towers for beach guards. It is curious and we can see the Designs on a website to which, Stollery, if you allow me the advice … we would have to take a walk as far as design is concerned.

Spain has made weddings a huge millionaire business that does not touch a roof

by

In Spain Give the “yes I want” It is more than a demonstration of love and commitment. Weddings are also a great huge business that moves every year thousands of millions of euros, he uses thousands of professionals and a considerable part of the savings of couples is carried. And to show a button: according to The last report of weddings.net, the average cost of the links held last year in Spain amounted to 24,618 euros, 17% more That only two years ago. And so Not counting with the 5,200 of the honeymoon. Question of love (and euros). Weddings in Spain are tradition. And business. One that moves thousands of millions of euros. That is no novelty. What is curious is that its cost has grown in recent years to Recover the land lost in the worst of the financial crisis. Let’s see. If we take a look at the historical series, we verify that in 2005 the “invoice” of the links stood in Spain above the 25,000 eurosfigure that was reduced during the worst years of the recession until it was below 13,000 in 2013. The trend in recent times has been different. According to statista, in 2019 organize a wedding in Spain cost on average $ 23,400about 20,800 euros to change. The data coincides with the one that managed by the same dates the wedes.net portal, which placed the total invoice in 20,808 euros. According to the same platform, in 2022 that invoice had already grown until lightly exceeding the 21,000 euros And now its most recent report estimates it in 24,618. An ascending curve. Although it may be shocking, weddings are not exactly the same in all of Spain. Weddings.net He manages studies that show for example that on average the number of guests to a link in Murcia or Castilla-La Mancha far exceeds that of the weddings of the Balearic Islands, Catalonia or the Canary Islands. If we take into account that, the different price between regions and the varieties of criteria when preparing the studies (what is taken into account when estimating the total cost of a ceremony) is understood that The calculation It is not simple. His latest report leaves a clear idea: marrying comes out more and more expensive. Of 21,056 euros on average per link three years ago 23,750 in 2023 and 24,618 in 2024. The figure that has been calculated thanks to interviews with 6,700 couples They gave themselves the “yes I want” last year. The authors of the study also ensure that they have taken into account people from all over the country and covered a diverse sample in terms of ages, ethnic groups, rent, age and sexual orientation. Is it a lot of money? There is an interesting way to answer that question: compare the average cost of weddings held in the country with what (at least) a Spanish worker enters on average for a year. Exercise shows revealing conclusions, such as if we add the average bill of a link (24,618 euros) and the honeymoon (5,178) The total invoice (29,800) is equivalent to a good part of what the Spaniards perceive over a year, at least via salarieswithout counting extra sources such as income. According to the INE, in 2022 the “average annual gain per worker” was in Spain in 26,948 euros while the medium salary marked 22,383 and the modal (the most frequent) was around 14,586. The most recent data show that in 2024 the Middle salary (before taxes) It was from 1,987 euros a month. One year of work. During 2022 the average wedding price was 21,056 euros, amount to which the honeymoon’s invoice was added: 3,000 on average For those who traveled through Spain and 6,000 for those who decided to leave the country. If we take into account that data, the result is that a wedding with a standard trip abroad added practically the same than an average annual salary. Reviewing the invoices. That weddings reach these high figures is greatly explained by the cost of banquets, which take a considerable pinched pinched. If in 2022 a link It cost average 21,056 eurosabout 10,600 corresponded to that chapter. The second expense, quite a distance, was the wedding dress and the accessories, which were around 2,150. To that amount It is added The price of the pedida ring and the honeymoon. Last year the average budget for the newly married trip was 5,178. Maybe it seems a lot, but According to Bodas.net 89% of couples ended up making their bags stop vacation or at least one getaway (NINIMOON). But … how do you pay? The report is interesting because it also answers that question. And the conclusion is that a good part of the invoices are financed with what the guests contribute. “48% of couples pay the wedding obtaining money as a wedding gift, while 39% use their savings account,” Precise. This distribution of expenses makes Spain a large extent one of the nations that most invest in links. In 2019 statista elaborated A ranking With a dozen countries and Spain occupied second place, ahead of France or Portugal. It only exceeded it, where couples were spent on average $ 29,200.

The latest creation of the productivity guru is not a new method, but a clock that counts the days that are missing to die

by

A little over a year ago, in Xataka We talk about ‘second brain‘, that concept popularized by the productivity guru Tiago Forte. His latest novelty is not another book or other method, but A tool as simple as disturbing: Death Clocka calculator that predicts with mathematical precision the date of your death based on 17 custom variables. The calculator tells you, after answering some questions about your life habits, the exact day in which you are expected to die. And although it sounds a bit macabre and childish, the idea makes sense. Obviously, it is not an exact prediction or intends to be. It is rather a Mori memento digitala modern way of practicing that old philosophical exercise of contemplating our mortality to live better. The application simply translates your habits into a longevity estimate: changes from “sedentary” to “intense daily exercise” and you will see how a decade of life instantly wants. A numerical visualization of how our daily decisions accumulate over time. The first questions of the questionnaire. Click on the image to go directly to the application. Image: Death Clock. And a technological curiosity: Forte does not know how to program, so he built the entire application in a few hours by resorting to the VIBECODING With ia. He basically told a programming assistant what he wanted and this was creating the code for him. What really matters is how your perspective changes knowing that you have already exhausted, for example, 40% of your life. Suddenly, that meeting that could have been resolved with an emailthat mediocre series that you are seeing by inertia or that project that you carry postponing for years take a completely different weight. It’s not about being morbid or depressed thinking about the end. Not even giving more importance than what it simply puts figures to what we should intuit. Simply becoming aware of our finitude helps us to filter the noise and focus on what we really want to do with the limited time we have. It forces us to ask ourselves if this is what I want to spend one of the days I have left. And maybe there is the key to productivity. Not to do more things, but to do the right ones. Those that really matter. In Xataka | The “Johari Window”: understand how others see us unlock a good part of our potential Outstanding image | Xataka with Mockuuuups Studio

has detected the transformation of lead into gold

by

Isaac Newton has gone down in history One of the most talented physicists and mathematicians that have existed. In fact, for many scholars it is The most relevant scientist who has existedand it is a very respectable statement if we ponder their contributions to science and the modest means that were available to the end of the 17th century. However, Newton did not dedicate his life only to physics, mathematics or theology; He also consecrated to the study of alchemy. The Royal Spanish Academy defines it in its first meaning as “the set of speculation and experiences, generally of a esoteric nature, related to the transmutations of the subject, which influenced the origin of chemistry.” The second meaning is also a bit disturbing: “wonderful and incredible transmutation.” Alchemy as Isaac Newton and other explorers saw it, for identifying them in some way, does not have a scientific support. However, serious science has identified mechanisms that explain under what circumstances a chemical element can be transformed into another. Newton would have loved to participate in this CERN experiment The stars are The authentic chemical elements factories of the universe. Inside the reactions of nuclear fusion They trigger the production of the chemical elements that we can find in the periodic table until reaching iron. From the latter it is not possible Extremely energy cosmic events. As it is, nature has taught us that there are mechanisms capable of carrying out the transmutation with which the ancient alchemists dreamed. In fact, Radioactivity It is one of these phenomena. We can define it as the process of natural origin that explains how an unstable atomic nucleus loses energy in the attempt to achieve a more stable state. And to achieve this emits radiation. A stable atom is “comfortable” with its current structure and does not need to do anything, but an unstable precise detach from a part of its energy to achieve a state of less energy and greater stability. On the way to a completely stable configuration, it will continue to detach itself from a part of its energy and will be transformed into other chemical elements. Despite its mass each lead core travels inside the LHC to 99,99993% of the light of light Since nuclear physics arose at one time halfway between the late nineteenth and early twentieth century scientists have achieved transform some chemical elements into others In his laboratories. CERN (European Organization for Nuclear Research) has done it recently. And he has succeeded causing the frontal collision of lead nuclei in its main particle accelerator, the LHC (large hadron collider). When these nuclei collide with a very high energy there is a plasma of quarks and gluones, which is nothing other than a state of extremely dense and hot matter. Each lead core has a considerable mass because it contains a large number of nucleons: 82 protons and 126 neutrons If we stick to the isotope of this most abundant and stable chemical element. Despite their mass each of them travels inside the LHC to 99,99993% of the speed of light, which triggers the production of a photon pulse. Under these conditions, the most interesting thing is that a process known as electromagnetic dissociation takes place. It consists of when a photon interacts with a lead core has the ability to trigger oscillations of its internal structure that can cause the expulsion of a small amount of neutrons and protons. A golden core contains 79 protons, so the expulsion of 3 protons from a lead core causes it to become gold. The physicists of the Alice of CERN experiment have observed, in addition to the conversion of lead to gold, Talium and Mercury production in these experimentation conditions. It is exciting that the human being has been able to design and build the machines that are necessary to carry out an experiment like this.

Harley-Davidson wanted to move from thunderous noise to electric silence. The joke has cost him 20 million dollars

by

20 million dollars. It is what It has cost Harley-Davidson The experiment of offering an electrical alternative to its classic custom motorcycles. Livewire, the brand that created by and to offer a different path to that of combustion motorcycles, has only managed to sell 33 motorcycles in the first quarter of 2025, 72% less compared to last year. A Lousimo Year Start. In the first quarter of 2025 Harley-Davidson sold 38,000 motorcycles. In the same period, he sold 33 Livewire. In the case of its electric motorcycle division it is a 72%drop, although 2024 was not a good year: they sold 117 Livewire compared to 57,000 Harley-Davidson. The company itself recounts in its account report that there is no demand for electric motorcycles, and that losses in this division amount to 20 million dollars. What Livewire offers. The world of motorcycles is passionate, even more so if it fits in the case of buying a Harley. They are faces, little efficient and with dynamic qualities at least debatable. Even so, they fall in love with thousands of users worldwide for their aesthetics, thunderous sound and quiet travel philosophy. It is not something they have managed to convey with Livewire. Although its slogan is that of “Electric motorcycles with soul”the reality is that the state of the electric motorcycle beyond the urban scooter, is gloomy. Models such as Alpeist S2 have a price of 19,148 and an official 194km autonomy in city, just over 100km on open road. Figures that make practically impossible to bet on one of these motorcycles to the minimum that we want to leave with them. Harley is not alone in this desert. Ego, one of the pioneers in electric motorcycles and the main protagonist of the Moto E category (the electric GP motorcycle), announced its bankruptcy in October 2024. Pioneer marks such as Zero, with barbarities such as SR/S (a motorcycle with 275km autonomy, recharges in an hour and a tip of 200 km/h), are sold in Spain for 23,790 euros. They are especially high prices compared to any of their combustion alternatives, practically double. The passionate element. The electrification in the car is inevitable: it is, for the most part, a utensil to move from point A of point B (a separate question is how much we want to spend on it and how fans we are of motor racing). But, on the road motorcycle, the thing changes. The only rational motorcycle is the scooter. Everything else is the result of passion for motorcycling, weekend routes and, on a great extent, sound. According to Anesdor data, as of April 2025, the electric motorcycle is 4% of the Spanish Total Spanish Park, completely starring scooters (both particularly and, mainly, rental fleets). The future of the motorcycle. Motorcycles, due to their low displacement, are usually much less polluting vehicles with respect to cars. It is something that will increase even more with the new regulations, Much stricter in noise and emissions.

“I tell the people I appreciate, he said, so I also tell you, that the important thing in work is security,” says the official Beni to her young interim partner Sara, thus encouraging her to oppose. We could change those names for almost any other because, although they are the ones he uses Sara Mesa In his latest novel ‘Opposition‘They are the reflection of a reality. And the writer captures the thought of the majority of the Spanish population with her last work: the tranquility of a stable work is synonymous with a public square. Once again, the writer of the awkward truths tells us about a fact that floods the conversations and the future of the population. The study ‘State of the discomfort: the labor turn towards the public sector’, prepared by OPPOSITATESThe states that seven out of ten Spaniards would leave a stable job in the private sector for a fixed position in the public sector. Besides, it makes clear Who would lead that change; 72% of women would abandon the private sector because of that dream of conciliation and stability that seduces the official, something that especially captivates the strip between 18 and 24 years. All this added to the duration of the working day, the possibility of accessing a better retirement or the good eyes of the banks when admitting a mortgage of a public worker. Being an official in Spain looks like a vital option More than attractive. (Unspash) In addition, the pulse of society is marked by social networks, and it is clear the interest among a sector of the population to oppose when there are many Dedicated videos To this on platforms like Tiktok. Give advice for the study, what you should know before starting, hauls of material … All this enjoys great success Within the vertical video platform. But there is even more revealing fact and that it seems that Sara Mesa drinks in ‘opposition’: the 42.4% Of these young people between 18 and 24, they confess that they consider opposing or are opposing for the fear that the employment situation raises. A writer who radiography to society Sara Mesa has become In a key figure of literature in Spainwith a work that challenges you and many times it bothers you. His narration feeds on what defines us as a society, of what blushes us as individuals, and becomes that internal voice and at the same time that is installed in your thoughts, moving as a dictation, word by word to the paper. That theme that frames us and places, in this case in the world of oppositions, serves to talk about many issues and set a photograph of the now. Already in ‘Scar‘(2015) tells us about a disturbing love story, but also of guilt, submission or consumerism. On the other hand, in ‘Bread face‘(2018) faces us without surroundings with the taboo and with the discomfort when narrating the relationship between an adolescent and an older man, exploring and exploring the issue of maladjustment. With ‘A love‘(2020) and its subsequent adaptation to the big screen by Isabel Coixet, tells us obsessions and drives, shows us a little explored place of female desire in its most primitive form, while reflecting on social classes or types of male. With the interesting elections made by Coixet in its adaptation of 2023 we can see in image that internal dialogue of Nat, as well as the roughness and acidity of the work. Already in 2022, ‘A family‘, repeated the pattern of addressing a topic that would already give for books and books such as family relationships, but took the opportunity to touch insecurities, emotional education and how power within relationships is an actor who forges and molds them. Its wealth is that, despite the variety of stories, the magnetic pen, dark and polished table is not lost at any time; Like your star theme, incommunication. Word after word we see on paper a complete breakdown of human relationships in the purest style Sally Rooney; immersing ourselves in the cause of the beginning of that personal connection between the characters, and the uncertainty and knot in the throat that holds the end of it. The terrifying hope of knowing your future On this occasion, ‘opposition’, it is a precise portrait of the pressure of a society that offers the opposition world as the only profitable future. The author introduces us to Sara, a young woman who has achieved an interim post in an administration office and who considers that the opposition may be the next logical step in her future. We find a reading of the public institutions that shows enough sneer, but without forgetting to be truthful and scathing. Sara arrives at a job where he literally has nothing to do, immersing himself to the Kundera in the unbearable lightness of the administration and thus beginning the doubt, tedium and discomfort. Those rigid hierarchiesthe hostility of the environment, the absurdity of many of the tasks of the official and unconditional obedience are wearing the protagonist, which is strengthening in his psyche the idea of ​​moving away from that day of the Marmota that replaces Bill Murray’s bed with an immense building that catches you and tries to expel you. The anguish of what your day to day will be after the opposition is another cause of restlessness. What is left of life is going to be like that? It is the question that, as a ghost, is around the protagonist daily, and what most likely is the same issue that much of the public staff is done and, why not say it, also the rest of society. Face to face we face what we are willing to give up To submit to the rigidity and stability it offers, such as a siren song, the public administration. The wet dream of all Spanish: a little year in a ministry. It would be perhaps a more simplistic story if we only stay in that layer, speaking of … Read more
