What is Mapy Mapy is a map application that He was born in 1998 in the Czech Republic. During all these years it has been a local service in this country, initially with cars maps in certain cities. Then, the service was growing progressively. One of the keys to its growth was to have been bought by the Czech company Seznam.cz, which began to boost the application.

A TIKTOK TYPE AND SEARCH WITH THE CONVERSATIONAL

by

In a few weeks – or maybe a few months – you may be trapped in an infinite series of series like ‘Bridgerton‘,’Black Mirror‘ either ‘Adolescence‘. And it won’t be Tiktok The app you have open. It is also possible that you are asking for recommendations with phrases “I want to see something fun and with good vibes”, and not Chatgpt Where are you writing that. It is Netflix, which is renewing in an ambitious way. The American platform He has more paid users than any of his rivals. In other words: he leads the streaming market with weight competitors such as Amazon Prime Video, Disney+ or Max. However, he is striving to maintain that leadership. And he does not only with more content, but also renewing his experience of use. A good part of these changes has to do with technical decisions and integrating concepts that are already familiar to us. Everyone has ever used a Tiktok style feed or chatted with an AI. The company founded in 1997 by Marc Randolph and Reed Hastings, now bets on combining them within its own platform. He is not inventing anything, but stepping on the accelerator. A new way of searching. One of the most relevant changes is the new natural language -based search. It will no longer be necessary to know the exact name of the content. Netflix’s generative AI wants to help you just write something like “I want to see something fun and with a good vibes.” An interesting point is that Netflix has not developed this technology completely. The company has confirmed that it works with different suppliers to enhance its artificial intelligence functions. In the case of generative search, the system relies on OpenAI technology. Netflix’s ‘tiktokization’. A new vertical feed with infinity scroll also arrives. These are short content of content of the platform itself, selected by the algorithm according to your tastes. It is not a social network, but it behaves like one: you can save the content, see it instantly or share it with whoever you want. Many users recognize They spend more time choosing what to see than seeing something. Netflix wants to attack right there. Vertical feeds have something that hooks: time drains between clips and recommendations. Now it remains to be seen how this formula fits on a platform like Netflix. A new experience for televisions. Netflix has also redesigned its TV app. Now it will be easier to find something interesting to see. Useful labels have been added such as “winner of an Emmy prize”, direct accesses have been moved such as searching and my list to the upper part, and everything is wrapped in a cleaner and more modern aesthetic. When will these news arrive? Netflix says it will display all these functions “in the coming weeks and months.” The good news is that they will not be limited to certain countries: the deployment will be global. And yes, Europe is included. Images | Netflix In Xataka | Unraveling the financial “miracle” of Spotify: how he has declared benefits after 18 years losing money

People are completely obsessed with the ‘GTA VI’ trailer. And you are looking for clues and theories in every detail

by

It is inevitable: when a New Trailer of a long -awaited cultural artifact as’GTA VI‘, immediately the second to second analysis of each of their plans in search of clues, details, Easter eggs. Internet in full becomes a field of culture for amateur detectives, in search of clues that sometimes set in facts and sometimes not. And that search is part of the game. Some examples. For example, there are some of the most notorious examples of what has been found in this new trailer of ‘GTA VI’, beyond general deductions such as the Importance of love story Among the protagonists or the colorful graphic impulse that has received this delivery. There was Rumors That this delivery will give considerable space to manage in the gym, and an image of a weightlifter on the beach seems to confirm it. It was already an important mechanic in ‘San Andreas’. Finally we have different images of the same characters, and a wide variety of haircuts, stature, facial features, body structure … in a similar way, we see the same house increasingly improved and decorated. It seems that the customization of the appearance will be the order of the day, and it is something that fans are talking about For months. Fight Clubs! That seems to be deduced from a fleeting plane of Lucia fighting in a ring surrounded by public that jelly after a fence. One of the most juicy and commented winksfrom what it implies at the “GTA Multiverse” level, it is a very direct to ‘Vice City’: an advertisement of a weapon store, presented by someone who could be Phil Cassidy. The curious thing is that Cassidy is part of a temporal line (the one known as 3D GTA) apart from ´RSTA (the HD line). Are the multiversos, with the possibility that we see characters from ‘VC’, like Tommy Vercetti? Is it a simple wink? Is this of Phil so even the same character? AND A tipfrom the trailer, but of the launch date. He May 26, 2026 It is the 92 anniversary of the funeral of Bonnie and Clydethe gangsters couple in which Jason and Lucía are obviously inspired. The city of vice. Those examples mentioned above are only the tip of the iceberg: some of the rumors and theories directly extracted from the trailer and their surroundings. But there is much more: getting carried away by the underworld of the Fan theories gives a good measure of the passion that unleashes a game, which in the case of GTA VI is excessive. Normal, taking into account that the franchise has sold 440 million copies. And as it deepens that Meme’s own icebergtheories are going crazy. The theory that the trailer weapons seller is Phil Cassidy derives from another much crazier: ‘Vice City’ and ‘GTA III’ are films that see the most realistic game characters such as ‘GTA VI’. The relationship between Jason and Lucia, of course, branches in many theories, which cover all probabilities: since there will be more playable characters than Jason is a policeman. Reddit is an authentic hotbed of theories about the particular (here There is an example, here another, and too here either here). Crazy dates. Where the Delirio Fan really unleashes is in the theories to guess launch dates and upcoming trailers. We already have a definitive date (esoterically linked to Bonnie and Clyde), but until it was announced, attempts have been occurred to predict all kinds. Numerology and hidden patterns are always very juicy (they set, for example, from previous games releases that They pointed to the last Thursday of January). They are not the only secret codes that are traced: there are direct references to previous games of Rockstar as ‘Max Payne 3’. A Mixture of conspiracy and numerology That, first of all, it denotes a spectacular ingenuity. A unique phenomenon. With ‘GTA VI’ a series of circumstances meet, beyond the spectacular sales we mentioned, which shape a phenomenon that is transcended a simple long -awaited game, and that configures this devotion, which sets in the continuous search for Easter tracks and eggs. For example, there is the long time space that passes between the launch of the games: when ‘GTA VI’ will go 13 years of the launch of ‘GTA V’. And Rockstar It has not been lavished with other games: Only ‘Red Dead Redemption 2’ in 2018. Cultivation broth. All that time has served for ‘GTA’ to become a phenomenon of cult, transgenerational in terms of video games and sufficient than the previous titles of the franchise acquire the category of mythical. It is a phenomenon that very few games can boast and that has an extra incentive: ‘GTA’ is not linked to any concrete console or system, so fanaticism for the franchise is oriented to games itself, not marks or console wars. The secret is in the fomo. The phenomenon of Fear of Missing Outor fear of being left out, it is essential to understand the way that companies like Rockstar have to manage these crises: for a year we will have the feeling of needing news about ‘GTA VI’ to placate the desire. And therefore, these trailers full of Easter Eggs That they promise very attractive news and game modes (they don’t really promise anything, but make the public imagine those promises) are not, at all, a patch to appease the crisis. Rather the opposite: they are an essential tool for fever for ‘GTA VI’ not to decline.

Spanish nuclear have been criticized for their role in the blackout. This was what they did before, during and after collapse

by

On April 29, just a few hours after Total collapse of the electricity grid Spanish, Pedro Sánchez, the president of the Government of Spain, He made these statements: “Citizens should know that during this crisis nuclear power plants, far from being a solution, have been a problem Because they were turned off. And it has been necessary to divert large amounts of energy to maintain their stable nuclei. At this time there are two nuclear centrals activated, and they are not because they are needed, but because their activation was already planned. “ His words require several nuances if we want to know in some detail what was the role of Spanish nuclear facilities in this incident and what they did before, during and after the total blackout. The first thing is worth repairing is that only three of the seven nuclear reactors of the Spanish park were turned off: the Trillo because the technicians were recharging fuel barsand those of Almaraz I and chests due to the needs that the electric market had at that time. The other four nuclear reactors, those of Almaraz II, Ascó I and II and Vandellós II, were operating normally before the blackout occurred. If we have this present the statement of Pedro Sánchez in which he argues that “(…) nuclear power plants, far from being a solution, have been a problem because they were turned off (…)” is not right. As we have just seen, Four reactors were delivering electricity to the network with total normality. In any case, the most interesting is what happened just when the collapse occurred. Security systems went into action to guarantee a safe stop Nuclear reactors are prepared to stop fission reactions whenever. The procedure that is used, very broadly, consists of introducing the control bars in the active section of the vessel, which are made of metal alloys of boron, cadmium or hafnio because these chemical elements have the ability to absorb a large number of neutrons. Fission reactions stop very quickly thanks to the effect of control bars, but, and this is very important, nuclear reactors have a great thermal inertia. This simply means that once the flow of neutron has stopped completely the reactor continues to generate residual heat due to the disintegration of products derived from nuclear fission. The main consequence of this behavior is evident: It is essential to sustain core cooling of the reactor even although this machine has stopped by introducing the control bars and modifying the composition of the refrigerant By adding boric acid to the primary circuitwhich also has a very high index of neutron absorption. Active and liabilities refrigeration systems must ensure that residual heat does not compromise the integrity of the reactor Active and passive cooling systems have to ensure that residual heat does not compromise the integrity of the reactor, and, curiously, thermal inertia can last even for several days. When on April 28 there was the collapse of the Electric Red the four reactors that were in operation were automatically stopped and the security systems that have been designed to hold a safe stop were activated. The first thing that happened was that autonomous diesel generators started automatically and generated the electricity that was necessary at that time to keep the entire installation on a safe stop. Everything was executed as planned according to the Nuclear Safety Council. A few hours later, when the supply of electricity from abroad resumed, the autonomous diesel groups were disconnected and the emergency plan was deactivated. From that moment on, nuclear centrals have been resuming the production of electricity, although before doing so the technicians have carried out the security checks that are necessary. An important note once we have reached this point: the recovery of the activity of nuclear power plants and their synchronization with the electricity grid are carried out as the system operator, which is Red Eléctrica de España, and the electricity market requires it. A week after the total blackout we have no solid reason to conclude that Spanish nuclear power plants have put us in danger.

The magic number that puts Mercadona very much ahead of its competition and that has a hidden cost

by

Mercadona has achieved something that seemed impossible in the saturated food distribution sector: A net margin of 3.88% in 2024. Well above not only Spanish or European rivals, but even world giants such as Costco (2.95%), Walmart (2.88%) or Tesco (2.87%). The figure, a trifle compared to other sectors, is stratospheric if we compare it with rivals such as Carrefour, with just 0.93%. Others, such as Dia, Casino or Auchan directly record losses. The supermarket business Historically operates with megic margins (1-2%) compensated for its high volume and cash flow. Mercadona, touching 4%, It is an anomaly. And he has achieved it mainly in the last five years, in which it has gone from 2.7% of 2019 to 3.88% of 2024. In addition, its net benefit has shot 37%, to 1,384 million euros. The 6 keys to unprecedented profitability “Total Efficiency” Model. The figures obey a polished strategy for decades. Juan Roig described the results of 2024 as “from ‘very good’ to ‘spectacular’” during his presentation at the central offices in Paterna. He attributed them to “the good progress of the economy, a great business model and brave decision making,” according to Castellón Plaza. One of Mercadona’s distinctive elements is its commitment to an “efficient assortment.” In other words: a short catalog. Other chains offer between 15,000 and 20,000 references, Mercadona has a rather lower number, prioritizing high -rotation products. It is one of the points that highlights the analysis of Food retaila strategy that “allows you to be more efficient, reach economies of scale and boost the quality of your own brand, all this while offering low prices.” That goes in the next point … Own brand domain. The weight of the distributor brand in Mercadona is overwhelming: its landowner brands, green or deliplus forest represent 58.2% of its sales, according to data from Actuality distribution About 2018. The chain then controlled approximately 44%of the total Spanish market of white brands, far ahead of competitors such as day (16%) or Lidl (11%). This strategy eliminates marketing costs and intermediaries associated with commercial brands. And allows you to set competitive prices without sacrificing margin. Mercadona has constantly invested in improving the quality of these products, developing them together with specialized suppliers to match or overcome the quality of leading brands. A unique relationship with suppliers. The Valencian chain has changed the distributor-professional relationship since the late nineties, when Roig promoted the “interproved” model. As it details INFORETAIL MAGAZINEMercadona “selected a manufacturer by category and granted long -term exclusivity to produce its brands”, working in “open book”: the chain knew the costs of the supplier and jointly set objectives of productivity improvement. Although this model has evolved since 2018 to a broader base of 1,400 “Totaler suppliers“, The philosophy of vertical integration and joint optimization remains. Mercadona negotiates block for all its stores, and that allows you to get conditions that other distributors do not get. The success of this symbiosis is such that, according to The economist“Mercadona suppliers are made of gold”, with growth of more than 10% in their sales during the last year. Logistics and automation. Mercadona operates one of the most sophisticated logistics networks in Europe, with 16 large highly automated blocks that supply their 1,674 supermarkets daily. In 2024, it allocated 276 million euros (26% of its total investment) to strengthen this infrastructure, according to Digital economy. The company has implemented advanced technologies such as the system Figa bridge picking (PPG) In its fresh warehouses, which speeds up the preparation of orders: it allows you to carry fresh products from the field to the store in 24 hours. Less losses and better perceived quality. This obsession with efficiency has raised productivity per employee at 313,545 euros per year, the highest in the sector. Almost null expense and marketing control. Unlike other chains with a lotHere is an example in this house) and not so much to announce products. Trust more on the mouth-a-or and the repetition of purchase. This savings in marketing, which for competitors can mean 1-2% of sales, is direct to the net margin. The company also maintains a relatively simple directive structure. In 2024, he even reduced his management committee to only six members, in front of the sixteen he came to have, according to reports Castellón Plaza. The six members of the Management Committee with Juan Roig in the presentation of results of exercise 2024. That committee came to have sixteen members. Image: Mercadona. No promotions or discounts. Mercadona has no loyalty program, points, coupons or specific discounts. Instead, opt for stable and competitive prices throughout the year. He no longer entrusts his motto ‘Always low prices‘which started at the end of the nineties, and in fact He has explicitly said that it is not his goal to be cheapbut the idea of ​​SPB remains in a certain way: fixed prices instead of specific offers. This saves you promotional marketing costs and constant price changes. In 2024 He reduced 2,000 pricesbut permanently and without this affecting its profitability, according to the company itself. In fact, its gross commercial margin remained stable at 24.7%, confirming that the increase in net profit (37%) compared to sales (9%) is mainly due to internal efficiency improvements, not to make products more expensive. Internationalization problems Mercadona has a 28% market share in Spain and is a baggy leader, but it is having difficulties when leaving other markets. In Portugal he has been for five years but “only” has sixty stores. Although the Portuguese is a market that has begun to give benefits (7 million euros in 2024), Roig has admitted that “it costs a lot” to grow there. As collected The avant -garde“after being forty years in Spain” it is not easy to adapt the model, and international expansion requires “generating managers in the country through internal promotion, which is a long process.” Mercadona has had to adapt its assortment to Portuguese taste and develop a local supplier network. According to Merca2although store sales in Portugal … Read more

Since the end of World War II there have only been two countries with nuclear weapons at war. They just restart it

by

And suddenly, the Indian army has launched An aerial offensive as it is not remembered in a long time against several positions in Pakistan and in the Kashmir administered by Islamabad. As we will see below, the tense story between the two territories came long, but above any other interpretation at this time, there is something that completely changes the hostility between the two nations. He Theme “Nuclear”. Context of a history of distrust. The conflict between India and Pakistan for Cashmerea region of the Himalayas disputed from the partition of India in 1947, has been a Constant source of tensionswars and insurgency between two nations that today have nuclear weapons. Its origin dates back to the decision of Maharajá Hindu of join the territory to India After an incursion of Pakistani militias, which unleashed the first war between the two countries. Since then, military clashes have occurred (1947, 1965, 1971 and 1999), provisional agreements such as the high fire of 1949 and the creation of the “Control line” in 1972as well as repeated reconciliation attempts that have failed, as happened after The Peace Summit of 1999, which was followed months later by a new armed conflict. More deaths. The situation is worsened in 1987 With the emergence of a separatist insurgency in the Indian part of Kashmir, fueled by the political discomfort and support of Pakistan, which led to a decade of intense violence. To get an idea, throughout the years 2000 and 2010, Kashmir more militarized on the planetwith regular bursts of violence. In 2019, after an attack that He killed 40 Indian soldiersIndia responded with Air attacks In Pakistan and, subsequently, the Narendra Modi government suppressed autonomy Constitutional of Kashmira, imposed a communications blackout and arrested thousands of local leaders, causing international criticism, although with the argument of restoring order and reducing terrorism. In April 2025, a brutal attack in which 26 civilians diedmostly Hindu tourists, turned on the polvorín again. India accused terrorists based on Pakistan, although he denied all involvement. A symbolic retaliation. The attack of a few hours ago, An aerial offensive against nine goals in Pakistan And in the Pakistani part of Kashmira, it is a retaliation for the terrorist attack of April 22. The military operation, Baptized Sindor (In reference to the red dust that symbolizes marriage in the Hindu tradition), it was presented by New Delhi as “measure, responsible and non-escalative”, directed exclusively against terrorist groups camps linked to Lashkar-E-Taiba and Jaish-E-Mohammad, both based on Pakistan. However, the scope of the attacks (which for the first time have hit areas outside the disputed region, within the heart of the Punyab Pakistani) represents a dangerous climb that leaves us on a new stage. Pakistan denounced the action as a “flagrant war act” and promised to respond with a “measure but forceful” retaliation at the time and place of his choice. The immediate tension has been aggravated with reports of fallen aircraft (at least two in Indian territory) and civil victims by fire of Pakistani artillery On the border. Map of states with nuclear weapons in the world The nuclear threat. We already said it at the beginning. This last round of clashes between two nations is not “one more” for one reason: its Nuclear weapons They revive ancient fears. They both possess Developed nuclear arsenals After atomic essays in 1998 that formalized their status as states with this type of weapons. According to Stockholm International Peace Research Institute estimates (SIPRI), India has around 172 nuclear eyelaces, while Pakistan has approximately 170, which makes them two of the nine countries with a nuclear weapons in the world. Different doctrines. The difference is that both maintain different doctrines. India holds one policy of “not first use”although its doctrine allows massive reprisals to a nuclear attack, while Pakistan has not adopted A formal posture of not first use and maintains a “plausible” deterrence strategy, supported by tactical nuclear weapons to counteract Indian conventional superiority. Although neither nations has deployed missiles with eyelets Permanently, both have land, aerial and, in the case of India, maritime launching systems, which constitutes a capacity of second developing attack. Persistent rivalry, border scarves and the current risk of rapid climbing make the situation a new focus of concern on global nuclear safety. Unprecedented from 2gm. The truth is that, if we stick to the definition of war, from World War II There has been no such worrying confrontation Between two nations. The “nuclear” theme changes everything. The closest thing to the current dispute between India and Pakistan and that “as nuclear” was halfway, in the Korea Warwhen direct clashes occurred Between US and Soviet fightersalthough Moscow never officially recognized them at that time. These fights occurred mainly in the called “Callejón de los Mig”near the Yalu River, on the border between North Korea and China. So, Soviet pilots, with MIG-15 aircraft and using North Korean or Chinese badges, they met American fighters, especially F-86 Sabre. Although it remained a secret to avoid open confrontation between both superpowers, subsequent records confirmed that hundreds of Soviet pilots They participated directly In the Air War. That said, it was not technically a war between the two nations, at least not in the terms of the current conflict. A fragile balance. In short, events after The air attack of India mark a very serious intensification of the conflict, with unpredictable consequences If a rapid offalized is not achieved. The activation of air defenses in India, the closure of civil airports in sensitive areas and the reports of victims by cross -border fire indicate that the region is in A critical moment. While India affirms that her operation was precise and surgical, limited to terrorist camps, the fact of bombing areas outside of Kashmir has redraws the limits of the conflict. In the absence of a bilateral mechanism of effective containment and with the international community limited to rhetorical exhortations, the risk of an uncontrolled escalation between two nuclear powers remains very present.

The Supreme Court has just resolved who is responsible when you steal all your money for Phishing: the bank

by

The Supreme Court has just failed in favor of users and against banking in one of the most recurrent issues in recent years: Scams through the Internet. He declares that banking is the main responsible in these cases of fraud, being forced to immediately replenish all money stolen from the client. It is not a user thing. The Supreme Court has confirmed A sentence issued on April 9in which the Civil Chamber rejected the appeal filed by Ibercaja against a resolution issued by the Provincial Court of Zaragoza in November 2022. In this sentence 571/2025 it is underlined that good banking practices require the activation of systems capable of detecting suspicious activities, as well as blocking or verifying high -risk operations. Almost 60,000 euros, back to pocket. Unless it can be demonstrated that the client acted negligently, the bank is obliged to assume responsibility and return the money immediately. In this case, Ibercaja Banco SA must reintegrate a client 56,474.63 euros stolen from his account through Sim Swappinga system to supplant our identity stealing the telephone number. Judge Manuel Almenar Belenguer uses the European Directive before payment servicesas well as the Spanish regulations, concluding that if there is no negligence, the user’s only obligation is to notify the bank about any type of unauthorized operation. The new jurisprudence. This case feels a fundamental precedent since it establishes that, from now on, the banking entities will be the main responsible in cases of Phishing banking. Consequently, they must respond for user -unauthorized operations, thus marking a significant change in customer protection against electronic fraud. “The advances of current technology make relatively easy to design ideal computer systems or applications to detect certain anomalies in the provision of payment services. Operations that, in the case of companies or companies with a concrete corporate purpose, can be described as ordinary, must immediately raise suspicions and give rise to an answer when they affect natural persons outside of such activity.” Banks will no longer have an excuse. Based on Judisprudence, it is stated that contractual clauses that exempt the banking entities of their responsibility with users regarding unauthorized operations must be declared knots. Until now, banks could hide in alleged bad practices carried out by the user, such as having introduced their data on websites or malicious links. After this sentence, they are responsible for any unauthorized operation. A plague with which the government tries to end. Scams per call and SMS are a plague. So much, that the Ministry of Digital Transformation It has been trying to put a brake over a year. He End of commercial calls It arrived in February 2025 under ministerial order, but this is just a tiny part in the cybethaf cake. False calls, Scams by WhatsApp, malware in stores like Google Play, Identity Supplant by SMS… tactics change and evolve to continue having an affectation and result. Recently, The Civil Guard dismantled a network of cybers allegedly led by a 19 -year -old student. User’s responsibility. Despite the additional protection that the clients of the entities will enjoy in case of cybetafa, it falls on the roof of the user not to fall into practices that can end up being considered as negligence. These have not established themselves, but it is worth not introducing our phone, personal email on the websites whose origin we are not clear.

The Chandra X-ray Observatory shows us how a neutron star has “fractured a bone” to our galaxy

by

As if it were the radiography of a broken bone, the last image that has come to us from NASA shows us the image of a whitish structure whose natural silhouette has been “fractured” by the passage of a mysterious object. An object in whose nature we have been able to investigate thanks precisely to the recent observations. The fracture. The new image It was captured Combining captures of different astronomical observatories and shows us the fracture in G359.13142-0.20005 (abbreviated as G359.13) as well as the object that would have caused this fracture: a neutron star or pulsar. The “bone.” G359.13, the “bone” of this photo, is a cosmic structure called sometimes also as “snake.” This cosmic filament expands over about 230 light years and is about 26,000 light years from the earth, near the core of our galaxy. Filaments that emit radio waves that make them detectable from our planet. These structures are directed, NASA explainsby magnetic fields that run in parallel to them. The radio waves that come to us are caused by particles loaded with energy that form spirals along these magnetic fields. Joint work. The image has been possible Thanks to the combination of observations taken in different segments of the electromagnetic spectrum. As we pointed out, the “bone” of the photo is a visible structure in radio lengths, and its observation has been possible thanks to the Radiolescopes of the Merkat Observatory. When “diagnosing” the cause of this fracture, however, resort to X -rays. Those of Chandra Space Observatoryto be more exact. The reason is that the main suspect of causing this fracture is hidden in the structure itself. Fortunately, this mysterious object also emits in the frequency of X -rays, since what is hidden after this “fracture” seems to be a neutron star or, probably, a pulsar. According to NASA, this object would be emitting light both in the form of radio waves and X -ray, to which an additional x -ray source caused by electrons and positrons (its antiparticles) accelerated to large energies should be added. To millions of km/h. The fracture itself would have been caused by the irruption of the pulsar at exorbitant speeds. According to astronomer estimation, this speed would be between 1.6 million and 3.2 million kilometers per hour. A study linked to this image was published last year In an article In the magazine Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, Change perspective. The image is a memory that sometimes things are not what they seem. The light that our eyes perceive is a tiny fraction of the emissions that exist in the cosmos. Sometimes the invisible to our eyes can be made visible using the correct instruments, while other times the opaque may not be so much if we change perspective.
