Asia’s generation is challenging his old guard

by

The world is pending Nepal. And it is logical. In just a few days the young democratic federal republic (proclaimed in 2008 after A long monarchy) has seen how the government gave A 180 degree turn In your social networks policy, resigned its powerful prime minister and (most importantly) the nation shook with a wave of street protests That has left dozens of dead and at least a thousand injured. There may be discrepancies about drifting who has taken the revolt, but not on its engine: a ‘gene z’ that Ask for changes. And Nepal is not the only country in which it does. The ‘D’ day of Nepal. It is not easy to identify the ‘D’ day of revolts like the one that lives Nepal. If you had to look for one, the turning point is probably the September 4when the Government of Sharma Oli ordered the blockade of 26 social networksincluding Facebook, YouTube, Instagram, WhatsApp or X. The Executive justified it as a matter of national sovereignty, but critics soon interpreted it as a cut of freedoms and the population (especially the youngest) as the loss of one of its main windows to the world. The discomfort resulted in protests Earlier this week in the capital, Katmandú, a mobilization that in principle should be peaceful but ended up the worst possible ways, with disturbances that arrived at Parliament and those who responded with a forcefulness with a forcefulness More than questionable. So much, in fact, that Human Rights Watch (HRW) has already asked to investigate. What was the result? Shots Victims. Fires that have affected Parliament and other government buildings. And an escalation in the protests that has spread beyond Katmandú. Little served the Resignation waterfall of ministers that followed the police repression or that the government turned back in your social media policy. He didn’t even matter The resignation of Sharma Oli, who had been holding the position of Prime Minister alternately since 2015. The protests climbed, clearly claiming A political changeand leaving a tragic balance. On Wednesday the local newspaper ‘The Kathmandu Post’ He spokeciting the Ministry of Health, of at least 30 dead and more than a thousand injured. Of ‘Nepo Kids’, networks … and much more. Choking what happened in Nepal only to WhatsApp or Instagram block would be a mistake. Or at least excessive simplification. Before the government’s decision, in the country he had been warming up for a long time the Nepo Kids (A sum of “nepotism” and “child”, in English), word that identifies the children of politicians and the Nepali bourgeoisie that shows its high standard of living precisely in networks. Actually that discomfort is another symptom of the real problem that has resulted in the wave of protests: the anger of a country in which 20.3% of the population Live below the poverty threshold and thousands of young people are forced to emigrate. Some extra data. To understand the reality of the country, it is good to handle certain keys. The NGO aid in action ensures that (at least in 2019) every day 1,600 Nepali They are forced to make their bags to look for life in countries like China or India, which explains the brutal dependence that the nation has of remittances. That data (and others, such as the poverty rate we quoted before) adds to the problem of nepotism and corruption denounced these days in the streets. In the ranking of “Perception of corruption” Prepared by Transparency International the Asian nation occupies the 107th of a total of 180 nations. Eight out of ten people (84%) in fact consider it a “big problem.” The ‘gen z’, in the focus. Nepal’s protests do not stand out only for their impact and consequences. They also do it for something that they coincide The majority of Analysts: Its epicenter is a very concrete population sector, the Z generation, the cohort born between the late 90s and the early 2010s. They are the ones who suffer unemployment in a special way, in which the discontent has been dug for the ostentation of the ‘neo kids’ or the blockade of the networks and those who (in view of what happened in Kathmandu) institutions. Hence They claim changes In the country. “Known as the ‘manifestations of generation Z’, Nepal’s youth mobilizations show the growing political influence of a digitally active generation that seeks to forge the future of the country,” Reflect An analysis published by the Asia Pacific Foundation of Canada Foundation. “The protests reflect the deep frustration for the precarious economic perspectives, inequality and corruption. They highlight the discontent of one of the world’s youngest nations in the face of the shortage of opportunities.” @cnn Protests in Nepal’s Capital Kathmandu Were Initially Triggered by A Ban on Social Media, But Quickly Expanded To Include Issues of Wider Corruption, Lack of Economic Opportunities and Police Violence Against Demonstraors. CNN’s Kristie lu Stout Breaks Down the So-Called “Gen Z” Protests that has seen Young People Criticize “Nepo Babies,” Or entitled Children of Government Officials. #CNN #News #Nepal #Protests ♬ Original Sound – CNN Why is it important? First, because it helps us better understand what happens in Nepal. Second because it connects with a broader trend that can be traced in other parts of Asia, such as Point out in Bloomberg The columnist Karishma Vaswani. In An article entitled “The protesters of generation Z challenge the old Asian guard”, the analyst relates what happened in Nepal with other similar (and recent) revolts in Indonesia, Sri Lanza and Bangladesh. All apparently with a common denominator: the role of the youngest population. “Asian youth is furious. Protests show a generation that is not willing to accept inequality and injustice as a destination.” Beyond Nepal. Vaswani refers to three episodes that have shaken Asian politics. The most recent leaves it Indonesia, where The decision of the House of Representatives to improve wages (and Prebendas) of its legislators unleashed a wave of protests that resulted in dead and … Read more

Amancio Ortega has built a second brick -based empire. The funniest thing is that Pontegadea hates to do works

by

Amancio Ortega founded one of the world’s largest textile multinationals: Inditex. The Dividends of this empireits founder has created Pontegadea: a International Real Empire with assets valued at more than 20,000 million dollars. However, according to The published by Digital economyin recent months the real estate arm of the Spanish millionaire has carried out two very unusual operations: sell two buildings. A rental -based strategy. Pontegadea has become the Major Inmobiliaria de España for the value of its assets. Its portfolio has been built by investing the annual dividends that Amancio Ortega receives for his inditex actions, which gives him a strategic advantage with respect to his competence because every year he receives a millmillionaire injection of capital to invest without issuing debt. The buildings that has been buying Amancio Ortega’s investment arm have a very diverse use: high -end apartments, strategic commercial premises, office buildings, hotels, Logistic centersetc. However, they all have something in common: solvent tenants who already pay their income even before Amancio is interested in it. That is, unlike other real estate companies, the Pontegadea business is not the sale of real estate, but the Purchase and long -term rental of its properties. It is not usual to sell. The Amancio Ortega real estate business has surprised in recent months with an unusual decision. However, Pontegadea has chosen to get rid of two outstanding buildings in just under six months. The objective of these divestments has been to avoid expensive Reform works that the properties required. One of the properties was actually divided into two buildings, and was used, for more than 20 years and until the end of 2024, as one of the headquarters of the Bank of France in Paris. The offices occupied an area of ​​6,724 square meters, but after the exit of the banking entity it needed a deep reform. That has made the investment group choose it for an amount of 80 million and recover the surplus value. The key: ensure profitability, minimize expenses. More paradoxical is the Sale of the second asset. It is an office building of 15 plants in Manhattan that has recently been put up for sale for the same reason as Paris: I needed A deep rehabilitation Before rented again. However, in this case the sale has been announced for a price of 50 million dollars, which represents 57% less of the 115.5 million dollars that the investment fund paid in 2006 for the property. The sale of these two buildings responds to a strategy mainly oriented to maximize profitability by obtaining an immediate investment return through rentals, avoiding large update expenses in old real estate. Pontegadea usually operates under the principle of maintaining almost the entire portfolio occupied with Tenants of maximum solvency. Assets sales, especially those that imply a devaluation of their purchase price, are very anecdotal. The expansion does not stop. Despite these sales, Pontegadea investments have not stopped in recent months. Among the latest acquisitions, the purchase of an offices building in Paris, which will go to house the group’s offices in the neighboring country, and reinforces its presence in Europe. In addition, Pontegadea He bought recently A 163 -room hotel in Amsterdam for 85 million euros, and a logistics distribution center in the nearby city of Hofddorp for about 145 million euros.

More than 800 vehicles are still missing after the Dana. And without a car, there is no help

by

Soon a year of the devastating Dana that swept Valencia and there are still many affected who have not found their car. More than 800, as reported Levante-EMV. As the vehicle cannot unsubscribe, many of them either They can collect aid To get a new one. We have talked to one of those affected who lost his vehicle in the Dana. 125,000. It is the number of cars affected by the Dana: The greatest scratch in the history of Spain. The owners of the sinister vehicles have received aid of up to 10,000 euros to get a new vehicle. The problem is that many of them have not yet found their vehicle after floods and is necessary to start the process. Videos and photos. Given the impossibility of peritating so many vehicles in situ, insurers requested videos or photos to be able to certify the damage of the vehicle. Only in this way could they leave it to subsequently be able to opt for the help of the Insurance Compensation Consortium. Jessica Rojas, photographer Resident in Catarroja, he tells us that he was trying to find his vehicle for a long time to be able to make the video-pursue that they asked: “I never found my car. I threw months and months looking for it, I went to all the carees of cars in the area and nothing,” he recalls. Dead end. The impossibility of certifying the damage of the car has left many owners with their hands tied. As they point out in Levante-EMV, in the section of frequent questions of the Insurance Compensation Consortium, This problem appears: The insurance compensation consortium, under the insurance contract that covers the damage of your vehicle, cannot compensate the damage as long as it has no verification of the damage to it. Once the fields currently enabled by the different municipalities have been emptied, the consortium will analyze, case by case, the actions to be carried out. Find the car. Jessica was not the only one who lost the car in her area: “Many neighbors made as a network with the videos we had done in the streets to search for cars.” He believes that he was stolen because he managed to find a couple of cars that the water took next to his, but did not appear. Tools were created to locate lost cars such as the Generalitat or of the affected municipalitiesbut there are still vehicles that nobody knows where they have ended. There are not many options and some of those affected have organized in This Facebook group. In the end yes. Jessica’s case is curious because, although she didn’t have the video they asked for, she did have a video she recorded from her window in which his car was seen before sinking underwater. After many months fighting, he managed to grant him the aid. The amount was much lower than the value of the car, but it could be worse. “I know many people who have not paid anything because they have not found them,” he confesses.

We believed that Nvidia was the company that had benefited most from AI. Micron is ridiculous

by

Micron is at historical maximums in Nasdaq, and rightly. The American manufacturer is taking a lot of benefit from the FEVER through the AI ​​and the data centers. The demand for memory chips is growing extraordinarily, but that has two faces. A good for micron, and another bad for customers and consumers. They all love micron. Citigroup analysts They promoted these days Micron’s target price from $ 150 to 175. The reason: according to its data, the company will have financial results “much better than consensus” when these are presented on September 23. Micron is doing so well that it even exceeds the growth of Nvidia. Source: Bloomberg The chips devastate. Yeah A week ago The shares were around $ 125, yesterday they closed at $ 150 and before market openings that figure is $ 155. This year the value has already grown by 81%, exceeding 33%Nvidia growth, although it is also true that the company led by Jensen Huang grew especially in 2024 (approximately 170%). Other companies such as Broadcom (55%), SK Hynix (91.88%in the South Korean bag), or TSMC (31%) also show an outstanding growth in the bags. Micron’s “Compute Networking” division is the one corresponding to the data centers. As can be seen, sales in that segment are already more than half of all of the last quarter. Source: Paul/Note. The commitment to HBM memories goes well. Micron has dedicated many resources to boost the manufacture of HBM memories, used precisely in the accelerators (GPUS) that are used in data centers. Independent analysis confirm the increasing weight of both these memoirs and the AI ​​segment in the micron business Micron will raise prices. According to Citi analysts, workloads for the inference of AI need more DRAM and NAND memories, and demand is spectacularly. The problem is that this demand will overcome the supply, and Micron will take advantage of the occasion to do something logical (for her): upload prices. Up to 30%. This is what it indicates Trendforce And also Some media In China, according to which Micron has notified its distribution channel partners today that the prices of their storage products will rise between 20% and 30%. In fact, the quotes of the DDR4, DDR5, LPDDR4 and LPDDR5 memories have been suspended among others: “All prices agreed with customers will be canceled and the quotes will be suspended. All products are expected to stop quoting for a week. “That involves not only industrial and consumer memories, and the chips for the automotive industry will rise in price by 70%. Sandisk and TSMC have already announced up. Both TSMC and Sandisk announced Price increases For memory chips in the past days. That will affect its great clients –apple, Nvidia, among others – and as indicated In Techpowerup It is a clear confirmation that manufacturers want to maintain their gross margins. In Sandisk there have been 10% prices due to the “growing demand” of the AI ​​market, data centers and mobile devices. At the moment, they indicate In Trendforcethat climb has encountered resistance from customers. In Xataka | Intel’s recent history is that of a failure. Now he has found a niche from which to resurface: HBM memories

Novo Nordisk has found the formula to recover the profitability of Ozempic: fire 9,000 employees

by

The Pharmaceutical Novo Nordisk, manufacturer of Ozempic and Wegovy, is living one of the biggest turbulence in its history recent. After losing the favor of investors and a good part of its stock market value in the last year, the company has announced a drastic reduction of workforce that affects 9,000 employees around the world: 11.5% of the total staff. 9,000 layoffs, most in Denmark. Novo Nordisk has confirmed Through a statement the cut of 9,000 jobs in the coming years, a figure that represents 11.5% of its template globally, composed of 78,400 employees. Denmark, a country of origin of the pharmaceutical, will be the country that will receive the greatest impact of that measure, accumulating about 5,000 of the planned dismissals. The firm has not yet specified how layoffs will be distributed in the rest of international venues, since the decision is subject to “to the relevant consultations in accordance with local labor legislation.” The multinational has remarked that “this is a global transformation, and each country, headquarters or region will be affected differently,” underlining the international dimension of its labor adjustment process. Multimillionaire savings and business reorganization. With this cut, the pharmaceutical enhance business lines centered on the Research for new treatments For diabetes and obesity, putting greater emphasis on commercial initiatives. It should be remembered that, in origin, both Ozempic and Wegovy were born as a new treatment to enhance insulin generation, but its satiating effects turned out to be much more profitable. Among the objectives mentioned in the official statement include organizational simplification, the increase in speed in decision making and the reallocation of resources towards the strategic fields of the company. According to the statement, Nordisk “must evolve in a market that has become more competitive and consumer oriented”, which implies “a change of mentality and approach that allows us to be faster and faster.” According to published by Reutersthe company would have asked its employees to return to its full -time offices within that same restructuring and optimization plan for its operations. Bursatile bleeding as a trigger. The collapse of the stock market suffered by Novo Nordisk during the last year is the main trigger for the adjustment measure. As published the BBCthe price of your shares was reduced by 60% Since June 2024, losing 430,000 million in stock market capitalization. The situation was especially aggravated on July 30, with a decrease in 23% in a single day After the downward review Growth forecasts and the announcement of the relay in the executive direction. The official presentation of Mike Doustdar as the new CEO of the company has marked the beginning of this stage of changes, which aims to recover the confidence of investors and redefine the corporate culture of the company. Its first measure has had a positive impact on the markets, and after the announcement of the template cuts the value of its shares has increased by 3%.

After months of indecision, meteorologists already see the girl in Pacific waters

by

Meteorologists pay their attention again in the strip that runs through the center-east of the Pacific Ocean. The strip whose temperature warns us of the activity of the oscillation of the southern El Niño, Enso. And, according to these observers, the pendulum gets back. The girl appears on the horizon. The latest data from the NOAA climate prediction (CPC) (National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration) United States They estimate 71% The probability that a girl’s event will arise throughout the last quarter of the year. Taking this into account, the center places the Enso alert state in “Surveillance of the girls.” This state is declared when “when the conditions are favorable for the development of El Niño or the girl within the next six months”, and is the first of the alert states provided by the CPC, the other being the other the “warning of El Niño or La Niña” and the “final warning of El Niño or La Niña”, which indicate the beginning and end of an event. A perhaps brief event. The forecasts indicate that we could be facing a relatively brief event of the girl. According to the CPC, the probabilities of the event in the quarter between December of this year and February 2026 are still favorable to the girl, In 54%. However, if the first quarter of 2026 is considered, the most likely conditions are neutrality: 54% probabilities compared to about 39% possibility of the girl. The girl, the cold event. And what does all this imply? The girl is the phenomenon that is opposed to that of El Niño in the homonymous oscillation. If the boy arises associated with a heating of the Equatorial Strip of the West of the Pacific, the girl is associated with a cooling of this oceanic region. At the meteorological level, Enso mainly affects the regions close to this strip, the Pacific coast of South America in particular. It is there where the consequences of this oscillation can cause widesarves. In addition to a cold event, the girl is a dry event that can lead to droughts. This has an impact on agriculture in the region among other factors. And what about Spain?Although to a lesser extent, the consequences of the alternation between the boy and the girl have global repercussions, and can affect the Spanish and European climate. In Spain the girl’s events tend to be noticed, bringing us a colder and dry climate. After a remarkably humid year, this could change the trend for the start of the hydroogical year. A measurement problem.The Unso status update occurs shortly after another organism, the Australian Meteorological Office or Bom (Bureau of Meteorology), will announce the need to introduce changes in its way of monitoring this climatic oscillation. Meteorologists use the temperature of the Pacific reference region as an indicator based on a threshold: if the temperature exceeds that fork, we are facing the child, if the temperature falls, the girl, and if it is maintained inside the parameter, the neutral state is considered. The problem arises because the increase in the average temperature of the waters in the region, the variation occurs with respect to a higher average. The result: there is a risk of detecting more El Niño events than they really occur, as long as the girl’s events are stopped.

Zaragoza trees are dawning full of bites. The mystery is not who does it but how to solve it

by

The Ribera del Ebro as it passes through Zaragoza is filling with nibbled trees. Tens. Dozens of tens. It has been confirmed by the City Council itself, which has counted around 70 damaged specimens in different parts of the urban section of the river. Actually the phenomenon has little mysterious and there are less doubts about who is responsible. What is not so clear is how to avoid it. In Spring Environment he already launched a plan to protect his poplars and poplars, which has not avoided that he has to withdraw one. The key is in a particularly voracious rodent. What happened? That Zaragoza has encountered dozens and dozens of nibbled trees. Literally. The technicians of the Aragonese City Council have identified neither more nor less than with 70 trees with marks of dentelladas in several sections of the Ebro riverbank as it passes through the city. One of them, a black poplar (Populus nigra) Located in the parking lot, it is so deteriorated that the Consistory has come to the conclusion that he has no choice but to withdraw it. Is it so serious? Not all trees are equal to damaged, but in the specific case of the Park of the Eyes, municipal technicians have concluded that there is a “collapse risk”. “Being in an area of ​​playful use is a considerable risk for citizens,” Apostille The City Council. And as an image always says more than a thousand words has shared a photo in which it can be seen how the trunk is stripped of bark and shows a crescent -shaped gap on the side. Around it, the floor is full of splinters. Who is responsible? The Zaragozano Consistory has few doubts about it: The beavers. Moreover, its presence in the area and the damage they cause to trees are no novelty for technicians, who have been trying to protect the trees from the most punished parks for these large rodents. In March, the Ministry of Environment, hand in hand with the conservation unit of the natural environment, launched an initiative to ‘shield’ some specimens of the Ebro banks: it placed meshes so that the beavers had more difficult to reach the cortex. The works began on the left bank of the river, in the Blacón de San Lázaro, one of the affected areas. “For a few years the presence of beavers has been detected on the banks of the Ebro River, who would be demolishing trees to use them in the construction of their burrows and dams, or as food. In recent months the damages have been located in the trees of both margins of the Ebro riverbank and its tributaries” The City Council recountswhich has counted more than 70 affected specimens, especially in the section between the Ebro azud, the Yacht Club and the San Lázaro balcony. Traces have also been seen on the banks of the Huerva and Gállego. Castores in Aragon? Exact. And this is not the first time they jump to the headlines. A year ago the farmers of the Jalón River environment already They showed their suspicion Due to the impact of these rodents on their fruit trees, an issue that even came to Congress and led the Ministry for the ecological transition to confirm that there are indications that point to the presence of beavers in the region since 2019 corroborates in statements to eldiario.es. But … where do they come from? The story From the European beaver it is quite long. And complex. It is known that Fiber castor It was well distributed by Europe and that at the end of the 19th century it was almost on the edge of extinction, with just 1,200 copiesdue to human harassment. As we altered their habitat or pursued them to get their skins, meats or even the glands (for the perfume industry), they losing ground. It is also known that they lived in the Iberian Peninsula, although there are different opinions about their history and the date of their collapse here. It is usually located towards the 18th, 18th or 19th century, although There are those who believe that there are hardly solid evidence that confirms the presence of rodents in Spain in recent centuries. About what there is more consensus is how they resurfaced in the peninsula: it is usually pointed to a unauthorized loose of 18 copies in the Ebro and Aragon rivers more than two decades ago. With the passage of time the species has been extending and experts have detected it in the Tormes River, more than 300 km from the populations that had already been identified in the Ebro, or in the Guadalquivir basin. What do we do with them? In The statement In which he informs of the nibbleed trees, the City of Zaragoza slides a key fact. Almost a paradox. While the species reintroduced without permission in the rivers of Spain, it is armored by Europe. “He Fiber Castor o European Castor is, according to the Ministry for Ecological Transition and the Demographic Challenge, a native species of Spain that was extinguished for anthropic reasons and whose current presence is a consequence of an illegal reintroduction. Despite this, community regulations force their protection. “ The theme is complex because the liberation without permission from Castores, a practice known as ‘Beaver Bombing’ and that usually carry out activists convinced of the benefits of the species for the environment, does not fit the guidelines that usually follow species reintroductions. “As established by IUCN it is necessary to carry out a series of studies that are almost common sense”, emphasize in Climate Francisco José García, expert in Mammals of the SECEM. Why is it important? More graph was still the biologist Jacinto Román in 2023, in An interview with The country: “It is not that they are good or bad, but to know how a species that had been extinguished, studies are needed that, for now, do not exist. They cannot be made are visceral decisions.” … Read more
