In this map we can see the countries in which cannibalism is technically legal. It falls very short

by

He cannibalism It is one of the stars of horror cinema, but also of the most cases Morbose of serial murderers. Some of the most rugged (if you haven’t seen ‘Dahmer‘, in Netflix, it is very good) They have inspired films and series. And although we might think that it is illegal to be associated with serial killers And it may seem to us A prehistoric actwe would be wrong. At least, in much of the world. The act of eating the neighbor. Eate for each other It is something that has been present for millennia. Some societies enemies ate as supremacist actsreligious or simply to obtain nutrients. In other situations, it is the despair that leads us to cannibalism. Currently, we know that it is nonsense because We don’t have too many nutrients. Now, cannibalism continues to exist. It is associated with erotic fantasies that involve eating or being eaten as part of a sex Jeffrey Dahmer either Dorángel Vargas They ate parts of their victims as an act of extreme possession and cannibal acts have also been performed as part of magical rites, such as Red Zwazulu-Natal dismantled in 2017 In South Africa. We have cannibalism stigmatized for a good reason, but a few years ago this Map by Reddit in which it was stated that there were countries in which cannibalism was legal. The image problem? Well, it falls very short. A mess. That cannibalism is technically legal in some places does not imply that it is … legal. And the keyword is “technically.” In them, and in many others, cannibalism is not explicitly prohibited by any specific law. Does not appear in the Criminal Code or in the Constitution and, For example in SpainWhen cannibalism is mentioned, it is done in the context of animal protection against cannibal practices of its species. But of course, although there is no explicit criminalization, the acts to be performed to eat human flesh do constitute a crime. The murder, the damage to the neighbor, the manipulation of human remains or the illegal exhumation are acts pursued by the law. Therefore, although we can think that there is a legal vacuum, if we want to eat the neighbor, we will have to make a crime that, usually, is persecuted. In fact, a Armin Meiwesthe ‘Canibal de Rotiburg’, He was condemned for homicidenot by cannibalism (the victim was supposedly consented, but died in the process). Legal vacuum. We entered an extremely rugged gray area here with two cases that were given in Europe not so long ago. In 2010, the Norwegian artist Alexander Selvik He ate himself. Specifically, he consumed remains of his hip extracted surgically to prepare a dish that ate as part of an artistic project. A year later, in the Netherlands, there were two television presenters who They ate fragments of their own flesh and on the other in a live program. Both cases were investigated, but since cannibalism is not a crime, as was under its will and no other crime were damaged by law, No charges were presented. What there was was a debate about ethics and the limits of art. Requests. Of course, sporadic movements have been given for politicians to study if it would be worth including cannibalism as a crime in itself. In Spain, although some voice has been manifested to legislate, no serious request has been recorded. In the United Kingdom, a citizen petition for cannibalism was included as a specific crime. After six months, the platform record 38 firms of the necessary 10,000. In the petition, they detailed the following: “Canibalism is potentially dangerous and we believe that it is a little ethical act that should constitute a crime, even if the person whose flesh and/or part of the body and/or organ is being consumed has given its consent. There should be a minimum mandatory penalty of five years in prison for committing said crime.” Asterisks. In Papua New Guinea has been mentioned as illegal Sometimes and in the Central African Republic It was missing due to social contexts such as war conflicts. It remains a gray area and that, in some cases, is an implicit activity in others that are considered punishable. For example, in Canada it is not typified as autonomous crime, but the Criminal Code sanctions “Any outrageous interference with a human body or human remains.” And then there is the case of the United States. Although a rule similar to the rest is followed in the country (there is no specific prohibition, but performing cannibalism implies acts that are crime), There is a state in which The law is mentioned cannibalism expressly, penalizing it With up to 14 years in jail. It doesn’t matter if consumed with or without consent and does not only imply direct consumption: in 2024 the law was modified so that it is also punished if another person is supplied. There is only something that would free you if you eat the neighbor in Idaho: that it is a case of extreme survival. It means that what it means (it has not been given the case, until now).

differences and how to configure your artificial intelligence to notify you

by

Let’s explain How to create reminders with artificial intelligencefocusing on those of Chatgpt and Gemini for being the most used. Both applications have two completely different systems to create these reminders, so we are also going to tell you the differences. You are already one of those people who use a specific application for reminders or of which a message with Telegram or a similar app is programmed to remind you something, this is a very interesting alternative. With this, you will give the artificial intelligence a new use, so that The day you want at the time you ask you send you a notification To remind you something. Two different ways of sending reminders Chatgpt and Gemini bet on two completely different methods To send you reminders. This is the reflection of the philosophy of each of the companies, one betting on its AI as an autonomous service and another integrating it into its service ecosystem. On the one hand Chatgpt sends you reminders autonomously. When you configure one, will send a notification in all devices where you have the application installed. Will also send you an email In case you did not have the apps installed or you have not given them permits to send you notifications. Besides, Gemini creates the reminders in the Google Task app. This means that you will have to link Gemini with your other Google services, and you will also need to have the Tasks application installed on your mobile. That on the mobile, because on the computer it will work through the browser and tasks. As you see, ChatGPT simplifies reminderswhile with Gemini they complicate a little when depending on another application that is also from Google. But if you are already a person accustomed to using Google apps, this will make everything be integrated into the ecosystem you already use. In addition, the fact that Gemini takes the reminders to a specific application for them will also facilitate the way to manage them. In chatgpt you will have to look for them in the chat Where you have configured them, but in the case of Gemini you can go directly to Tasks, something that will save you time. Come on, there are positive and negative points in both methods. Anyway, in both cases you can Create reminders by writing them or by voicesince both AI have hands -free functions to speak by voice or the possibility of sending audio messages. This will greatly facilitate things at those moments when you can’t stop writing the Prompt. Create Reminders with Chatgpt To create a chatgpt reminder, you have to write a prompt in which you ask that Create a reminder in a day and an hour concrete, then putting what you want me to put in the reminder after two points. For example, you can use this prompt: “Create a reminder for tomorrow at 4:30 p.m. saying: Visit Xataka Basics.” The structure and composition of the prompt can vary, You can write it in your way with natural text as long as you mention the key data of the date, time and content. Chatgpt will be able to understand what you have asked. At the time you make the request, A window will appear showing the reminder. In this window you can see the content, date and time, and you can ask you to do any correction simply by telling you what you want me to change. And that’s it. When the specific time comes, Chatgpt will issue a notification with the reminder. He will do it as a notification of the app, although he will also remind you in the chat where you did the request. In addition, you will also send you an email so that there is no way to forget. Create reminders with Gemini To create a reminder in Gemini, you have to write a prompt in which you ask you Create a reminder in a day and an hour concrete, then putting what you want me to put in the reminder after two points. For example, you can use this prompt: “Create a reminder for tomorrow at 4:30 p.m. saying: Visit Xataka Basics.” The structure and composition of the prompt can vary, You can write it in your way with natural text as long as you mention the key data of the date, time and content. Gemini will be able to understand what you have asked. Gemini will need you to activate your access to Google Workspaceand so I can use Google tools of your account. If you have not done it, you will see a picture where you have to click on Continue To go to a screen where you must activate the Intelligent functions in Google Workspace. When you have linked workspaces, at the time you ask you to believe the reminder, A window will appear showing the reminder on Google Tasks. In this window you can see the content, date and time, and you can ask you to do any correction or go directly to Google Tasks to do it. In the event that you do not have it, You will have to install the Google Tasks application On mobile, available In Google Play For Android and In the App Store For iOS. You will have to log in with the same Google account you use in Gemini. And that’s it. Now, when they arrive the day and time where you have configured the reminder, Google Tasks will issue notification To remind you what you have asked.

The Los Angeles Plan to turn waves into megawatts

by

They look like piano keys dancing on the Pacific, but they are blue floats that rise and go down to the rhythm of the waves in the port of Los Angeles. At first glance, they could go unnoticed, but in reality they hide a promise: transform the inexhaustible force of the sea into clean electricity for thousands of homes. Short. The company Eco Wave Power He successfully completed The operational evidence of its first pilot project in the United States just a few days ago. The key moment was the descent to the float water, Transmitted live by Good Morning Americaa symbolic gesture that marked the beginning of the operational phase within the Energy Mix of California. The company has an ambitious plan: it wants to cover with floats the 13 kilometers of the breakwater that protect the port of Los Angeles. This installation could generate electricity for about 60,000 homes, According to Eco Wave Power press release. More in depth. The system uses eight floats fixed to a concrete dock. At first glance they seem piano keys, but their function is much more complex: with each movement of the waves, the floats act on hydraulic pistons that push a biodegradable fluid through pipes to a unit of energy conversion (ECU) installed on the ground. Inside, it works almost like a small hydroelectric plant. The accumulated pressure moves a turbine and, with it, electricity is generated. The entire system fits in two 20 -foot maritime containers, which makes it easy to transport, mount and maintain. The key is in the location. Other projects were launched inside and ended up sunk by the cost of submarine cables and the damage of the storms. Here, however, the floats are anchored in existing port infrastructure. And if you arrive bad weather, they get up as if they were retractable awnings to avoid damage. “When the waves are too high, the floats simply go up until the storm passes, so there is no damage,” The CEO Inna Braverman explained to Techxplore. But not everything is perfect waves. Undimotriz energy has been promising for decades and fulfilling little. The teams in the open sea suffered constant damage, and the repairs were very expensive. The coastal model of Eco Wave Power seems to solve part of the problem, but it is still an experimental technology. We need to check if you can compete in costs with giants such as solar or wind, today cheaper than ever. “The Achilles heel of this energy is in the maintenance and inspection costs. Therefore, to have a device near the coast, from where you can walk and review it, it makes a lot in statements collected by Techxplore. However, we must not forget the current American political context. While the federal government REduce support for green technologiesstates like California continue advancing on their own towards carbon neutrality in 2045. In that pulse, the echo pilot Wave Power works almost as a statement of intentions: although Washington goes in another direction, innovation continues to find holes to emerge. A symphony of the sea for the future. The official inauguration is scheduled for September 9 in Altema, in the port of Los Angeles, and a new chapter in the state’s energy transition is expected to mark. For now, the floats continue to move like aquatic piano keys. But if they fulfill their promise, they could compose a different melody: that of a future in which the ocean sway illuminates an entire city.

When the Nazis occupied an island on the Channel of La Manchas they met an unexpected enemy: an indecipherable language

by

The enemies sometimes appear for the most unsuspected places. That is what the German soldiers who occupied the Canal Islandson the Canal de la Mancha. The campaign promised them happy and in fact it extended for several years, but shortly after putting the first foot on the island of Jersey the Nazi officers realized that they would have to deal with an unexpected enemy: a language that they did not understand their interpreters. And that was a luck for the locals. In a place on the Channel of La Mancha … It is found Jerseythe largest of the islands of the Canal, an archipelago located very close to the French coast but is administratively linked to London. In fact they are considered British crown dependenciesautonomous, self -governor territories and that strictly are not part of the United Kingdom, but they are linked to their crown. It is estimated that in 2001 a few resided in the archipelago 150,000 people distributed in Two dancers: Guersey’s and Jersey, where they live more than 100,000. An island, its own language. Jersey not only stands out for his geography, status and history. It also does it at the linguistic level: on the island you speak English, French … and The sweater (Jèrriais), a tongue related to The Normand and, They claim The island authorities, have a rich history of more than a thousand years. His first written record dates in fact the 12th century, with The poet Waceand on the island presume of its literary legacy of the late eighteenth century. The sweater He caught his attention Even from the prestigious French writer Víctor Hugo, who rescued one of his words, Pieuvre (octopus) in your novel ‘The sea workers’of 1866. “A Language of Peasants”. The history of the Jersejés is not exactly simple. Despite his age and the enormous roots he has had on the island, there was a time in which he considered a vulgar and stigmatized language, which has irremediably marked his base of speakers. “In 40 and 50 if you went to school the Jerseyés was prohibited. It was considered a language of peasants, spoken only by poor people. That was the attitude of all teachers, even those who spoke Jerseyes,” He recounts To the BBC François Le Maistre, a almost 90 -year -old man who explains that in his home, as a child, only the island language was used. … And a weapon in front of the Nazis. Interestingly and despite his stigmatization, the sweater played a relevant role during World War II. The Canal Islands hold the sad honor of being the only “British” islands that endured the occupation of German troops during World War II. The Nazis came to Jersey between June and July 1940 (with The battle of England as a backdrop) and remained in the archipelago until May 1945. The authorities evacuated 30,000 people From the Canal Islands before the arrival of the Germans, but even so when Führer’s troops landed in Jersey they met thousands of locals (the archipelago added in total 104,000 residents) With a disturbing peculiarity, especially for the Nazis: they spoke a seemingly unintelligible language, even for the Francophone Germans. Not even the collaborative interpreters understood at all. What devils are they saying? “The articles in Jerseyes published at the beginning of the occupation managed to transmit messages of resistance”, Point out to the BBC Geraint Jennings chain, linguist and expert in the island language. “The texts openly said that it was better to speak Jerseés so that ‘certain people’ could not understand it, that is, the Germans! Of course they soon realized and took drastic measures with censorship, but the sweater continued to be used as a secret language to transmit messages during the rest of the contest.” In the island’s passive resistance strategy, that language related to Normando became a valuable piece. Its complexity, even for the ears of the German soldiers who spoke French or the collaborative performers, made the Jerseés a key tool to exchange information, draw clandestine plans or even, remember The English chain, mock of the Nazis. “Everyone spoke”. “During those years everyone spoke Jerseyes simply because, unfortunately of the Germans, it was not possible for them to understand our language,” remember I maistre. Perhaps it sounds strange, but it is that within the jersey itself different dialect varieties of the language were used: despite the fact that the island is small, a good part of the islanders were related to their own communities, which favored surprising wealth of expressions, words and even accents, distinctive marks of groups of speakers. On other channel islands, such as Guerneey, Sark and Alderney They also had their own languages, some already disappeared. A dream for linguists, a nightmare for German soldiers who walked through Jersey. A tongue in retreat. That does not mean that the sweater was immune to war. His starting point was already delicate. Although in the 30s the mother tongue of most people born on the island remained, it was minorized and stigmatized. To that was added “the great social rupture” that, Jennings lamentscaused the German occupation: families evacuated to England with their children ended up adopting English as the main language, the same that happened to the islanders who enrolled in the Armed Forces and then returned home. This rupture is added that tourism and the island’s financial sector, key pieces in its economy, They contributed to boost English as a communication vehicle. And what is the situation now? Complicated. There are reasons for optimism, but also for concern. In recent years the language has managed to claim, with institutions expressly dedicated to its promotion and greater sensitivity on the part of local institutions. In February 2019 in fact the island authorities They declared it COOFICIAL LANGUAGE IN THE ASSEMBLY WITH ENGLISH AND FRENCH. Who today lands at the island’s airfield is also with a message that welcomes him in the language: “Seyiz Les Beinv’nus à Jerri”. That is the positive part. The refusal … Read more

There is a ‘good’ fat that hides a secret to aging better and being fit. It only remains to get the pill

by

Aging is inevitable, and with it it comes A progressive loss of physical capacity that causes it to be more difficult to walk or stand up. This makes Stay fit It becomes much more difficult and therefore the resistance begins to decline. But … what if this decline can be slow down? This is precisely what science is focused on. Fat as anti -aging. Researchers at the Rigers New Jersey Medical School They have discovered That a special type of adipose tissue, known as brown fat, could be the key not only for healthier old age, but also Improve physical performance. A study of great relevance, since it can open a new route in the anti -aging field. The team that has led this research has been able to identify an unusually powerful form of this ‘good fat’ in mice, which not only Increased his life expectancybut improved its exercise capacity by an impressive 30%. Now, the race has begun to be able to replicate these same effects in humans through a drug. Not all fat is bad. When we think of fat, the White fat or white adipose tissue. Its main function is to store excess calories in the form of triglycerides and is the one that can bother us aesthetically throughout our lives. Although in essence it is a large energy deposit. But, nevertheless, there is another type of fat that is much more interesting: brown fat or Brown adipose tissue. Unlike white, brown fat is specialized in burning calories to generate heat in a process called thermogenesis. This is possible thanks to the fact that their cells are full of mitochondria, which are the organelles that act as cellular power plants and that give it its characteristic brown color. In our life where we have more fatty fat in our body is when we are babies, since here it is crucial for Keep body temperature. But when we grow, the brown fat is lost until some cracks are around the neck and shoulders. But here the white fat is the one that dominates our body completely. One step further. Knowledge about brown fat already has a long journey in scientific literature. But it is now when this study goes further to point that it is linked to having a healthier longevity and with a much more appropriate physical exercise. How they knew it. To get to this conclusion, the researchers worked with a genetically modified mouse model to lack a protein called RGS14. The mice without this protein lived approximately 20% than their normal partners, and curiously the females lived more than the males in a pattern similar to that followed by humans. Even at the advanced ages, these mice avoided the typical signs of aging such as body atrophy, hair loss or the graying of the fur. But it does not stay here, since when submitting them to physical tests, the modified mice showed a 30% higher performance, both in distance traveled and in resistance. And all this because mice without RGS14 developed a dense and powerful brown fat than who expressed the protein correctly. The definitive test. To confirm that it was brown fat, and not another effect of genetic modification, scientists conducted a crucial experiment: transplanting the brown ‘supergras’ of mice without RGS14 to normal and healthy mice. The results were overwhelming. The mice that received this transplant improved their ability to exercise in just three days. On the other hand, when brown fat was transplanted from a normal mouse to another, an improvement was also observed, but much more and with eight weeks ahead to manifest its effects. Something that showed that the fat of the genetically modified mice was exceptionally powerful. Because? The mechanism seems to reside in an improvement in blood circulation. The indications suggest that brown fat promotes the creation of new blood cases in the muscles that improves the flow of blood and oxygen during exercise. The goal. Research suggests that this brown fat not only improves physical performance, but also protects against a series of ailments associated with age, such as obesity, diabetes, cardiovascular disorders and even cancer and Alzheimer’s. Vatner’s team is already working with collaborators to develop a drug that imitates the effects of this powerful brown fat, hoping to have a compound ready to be tested in approximately one year. But the idea is not only to increase life expectancy, but “healthy life expectancy.” That is, even if you live longer, these ‘extra’ years enjoy good physical and mental health. While we expect that future pill, there are techniques such as deliberate exposure to cold (the famous ice baths) that can naturally increase our brown fat levels. However, as Vatner points out, most people would prefer to take a pill to take an ice cream bath. Images | Tatiana Zanon In Xataka | Our brain has its own backup.

The great covered in the War of Critical Minerals is Tungsten. The US needs it and 83% have it China

by

On April 4, just 24 hours after Donald Trump announced the taxes that he was going to apply to the importation of most products from abroad, The administration led by Xi Jinping responded. And he did it with forcefulness. In early December 2024 He chose to prohibit The export of some critical minerals to the US, among which were three essential metals for the chips industry: Gallium, Germanio and Antimony. Shortly after the Chinese government added two more critical metals to its list of export restrictions: the Scandio and the Disposio. These chemical elements are probably less known than metals prohibited by China previously, such as Gallium or Germanio, but are at least as important as the latter because they have a fundamental role in the industries of integrated circuits, telecommunications and the manufacture of storage devices. The ability to put pressure from China had not yet been extinguished. Just ten days later, on April 14, the Administration did not hesitate take another step forward With the purpose of putting in check, in addition to the industries that I just mentioned, those of electric cars, aeronautics and advanced armament. To achieve this, it effectively suspended, in addition to the export of the most valuable rare earths, that of high -power magnets that have a critical role in the industries that I have cited in this same paragraph. Tungsten hunting and capture Tungsten or Wolframium (W) is a relatively scarce metal in the earth’s crust. It is very dense and extremely hard (understanding hardness as its resistance to being scratched), but its most exotic physicochemical property is that it has the second highest melting point of all the chemical elements that we can find in the periodic table only behind the carbon (nothing less than 3,422 ° C). It has a very wide range of applications, but, curiously, from World War II it is much appreciated for its suitability when intervening in the tuning of the armor of some vehicles and in the manufacture of ammunition. In February China announced that I was going to respond to US sanctions by enabling export controls of the strictest tungsten China currently controls 83% of the world’s tungsten, which has placed this country in a very comfortable position that allows it to drastically limit the amount of this metal that reaches rival powers, among which is USA. It is just what you are doing. In February, the Chinese administration announced that I was going to respond to US sanctions and its allies enabling export controls of the strictest tungsten. From that moment on, the price of this mineral has progressively increased to its historical maximum. Today Wolframio is 55% more expensive that in February. Beyond China, the main producers of Tungsten are Vietnam, Russia and some countries in Central Africa and South America. Anyway, Europe, Japan and South Korea are trying to ensure their supply of this metal by implementing political measures that seek to promote local production with the purpose of reducing China’s dependence. The US is even considering the possibility of replenishing its strategic tungsten reserve after selling it for many years.

The most expensive cities in the world to live in 2025, explained in a very illustrative graphics

by

In 2025, the cost of living in some cities is a combination of high prices in goods, services and housing, which can only face who have income enough for it. For those who do not reach enough income to cover those basic needs that each city demands are dedicated to poverty or to move to other cities More affordable, something that is already beginning to happen in our country in large cities such as Madrid or Barcelona. The “Numbeo Index” Numouso is a database Collaborative that collects the prices of restaurants, services and goods in the main cities of the world and, based on this data, it produces listings in which you can analyze which cities are the highest cost of life, in which the price of housing has a greater impact or determining the economic effort of its inhabitants to live in them. For establishing a reference point in the comparison, Numbeo uses New York data as a reference value 100 in all its data. That implies that, if another city has an index of 112 in one of its parameters, it means that, in that parameter, that city is 12% more expensive than New York. If the value of the index is 88, it implies that it is a cheaper 12%. Based on these data, the portal Visualcapitalist.com has elaborated a graph in which it is clearly represented in what cities in the world is more expensive to live. The most expensive cities to live The graph prepared by VisualcapitalistNew York leads the global ranking as the most expensive city in the world. According to data collected by Numbeo, New York is positioned as the most expensive city, with a fork in the rent price ranging from $ 1,100 to $ 4,108 for an apartment in a room and up to $ 8,174 for a three bedroom apartment. The Swiss cities of Zurich and Geneva are followed in the ranking, with an index of the Cost of life more rental of 93.2 and 90.6 respectively, indicating that living in them is around 7 and 10% cheaper than doing so In New York. In the fourth position there is San Francisco (85.3) that sneaks between the Swiss cities of Basel (83.9) and Lausana (83,4). If we focus on more expensive cities to live From Spain including the cost of life, we find Barcelona in position 137 with an index of cost of life including rental of 48.29, followed by Madrid (47.38) that occupies the 142nd position of the global ranking. Palma de Mallorca (43,79) and Malaga (39,24) follow them closely, occupying positions 180 and 203 of the world respectively. The weight of rent when living in a city The price of housing is a determining factor when establishing the cost of living in a city. For this reason, the list changes completely when the data is filtered to unlink the cost of the home of the equation. In that scenario, New York no longer leads the List of more expensive cities to livebut goes down to seventh place. Those who do maintain consistency are the Swiss cities, which remain the most expensive in the world to live, with Zurich (112.54) leading the list, followed by Geneva (111,41), Basel (110,71), Lausana (110.55) and Lugano (108,38). From the Spanish perspective, all cities fall several positions indicating the impact of the rental price at your cost of life. Barcelona (with a cost of life without rent of 57.03) goes on to position 183, while Madrid (55.79) falls less positions until 187. In the case of Palma de Mallorca (55,13) and Malaga (48,02) the fall is just ten positions, indicating that the housing price impact It is less than in Madrid and Barcelona, ​​but the cost of the rest of the index factors (food price, Public Transportation Pricerestaurants, services, etc.) It is higher in these cities. Living in some cities is more difficult A very important fact that can be extracted from this database on the cost of life in large cities, is the purchasing power index, which uses the salary average of that city and compares it to the base reference that is that of New York. The result leaves us a photo of which citizens do a minor economic effort to live In a certain city. In this scenario, the inhabitants of Mannheim in Germany are the ones who must make less effort to live in the city with an index of 198.64, which implies that these citizens can buy 98.64% more goods and services than a New York with their salary. The Swiss Basel (194,85), Bern (186.76) and Lausana (180,45) sneak into the top five, occupying positions two, four and five respectively. Only truncated Swiss hegemony the city of Erlangen (189,69) in Germany, which is placed in third position. Spanish cities draw a slightly different panorama, being Valencia (131,73) Alicante (113,27), Seville (102.62) and Madrid (101,39) the only ones in which its inhabitants They have greater purchasing power than a New Yorker in the field of his city. On the other hand, Barcelona (88,37), Málaga (86,34), Palma de Mallorca (86,34) are cities where the opposite happens, its inhabitants have a lower local purchasing power rate by having a lower average salary and a higher life cost.

Technological minimalism focused on health

by

Polar has just launched A fitness bracelet without screen for 199 dollars. No subscription. No notifications. Without digital vanity. It is the clearest sign that something is changing in our relationship with Wearable. It is the new technological minimalism that focuses on health monitoring, and nothing else. Why is it important. This trend comes due to the convergence of several contemporary obsessions: The optimization of physical performance. The obsessive quantification of the self. And yes, also digital exhaustion. WHOOP He first conquered elite athletes promising data that an Apple Watch could not offer, or not with such frequency: cardiac variability, training load, real recovery. It was not so much escaping from technology as deepening it until making it invisible. As invisible as the load: autonomy is two weeks. The market paradox. These bracelets satisfy two apparently contradictory wishes: We want more information about ourselves … … but less friction to obtain them. Whoop’s success was not to eliminate distractions, was to automate the obsession. You do not need to start a training manually when the device automatically detects that you are running. Amazfit offers your Helio Strap for 99 euros without subscription. Polar asks 199. Whoop maintains its model of up to $ 359 a year. Each price points to a different tribe: the curious, the committed, the obsessives. Between the lines. The real attraction is not the absence of screen but the promise of knowledge without effort. It is the same impulse that leads people to DNA test either Microbioma analysis: The fantasy that the data will reveal some hidden truth about ourselves. The difference is that now that data arrives every morning to your phone. The more devout users do not seek to disconnect. They look for a deeper connection with themselves through metrics as a traditional smartwatch, designed for the average consumer, would never prioritize. The contrast. A Apple Watcha Huawei Watch or a Samsung Galaxy Watch They are generalist devices that make everything moderately well. These bracelets are specialists: they do one thing – monitor your body – exceptionally well. As the sports watches niche chaired by Garmin, Suunto, Coros and Company, but without screen, notifications, etc. The second Wearable. Here is the key: these bracelets do not really compete with a Garmin or an Apple Watch except for those who want to lose sight of the screen. For the rest of the market, they complement them. Serious athletes are both: the Garmin to see rhythm, routes and heart rate during training, and the Whoop (or similar) in the biceps for monitoring 24/7. That is why Whoop and his clones offer biceps bands: to release the wrist during the sport. It is the birth of a new category: the Wearable complementary. It is not “or one or the other”, it is “east and that.” The Garmin to run, the invisible bracelet to live. The decisive moment. Polar entrance with a subscription free product is remarkable. He suggests that the market is maturing beyond the Whoop model, where you pay both hardware and the interpretation of the data. Now the question is whether the data is worth $ 359 a year if you can get something similar for $ 199 in a single payment. And now what. We are seeing the market fragmentation of Wearable. There will be devices for those who want an iPhone on the wrist and devices for those who want a laboratory in the background. Several trends converge: The professionalization of amateur fitness. The medicalization of well -being. And a certain fed up with notifications. The real test will be if these devices continue to loyalty when the novelty passes. Because after all, having hundreds of data on your dream are of no use if you don’t sleep anymore. In Xataka | After almost a decade with the Apple Watch I have spent a Garmin.

La Granola promised to be the perfect breakfast. Now we know that you can behave like an undercover dessert

by

A bowl with yogurt, red fruits and a rain of granola It is the most shared image on social networks When we talk about healthy breakfasts. But, as is usually the case, it is not all gold that shines. Behind the crunchy brightness of toasted oatmeal and dry fruits can hide a trap: as much sugar as a pastry cake and a metabolic effect that triggers hunger in the middle of the morning. The great change of the granola. To understand the phenomenon you have to go back to its origins. The first version was created in 1863 by the doctor James Caleb Jackson and was called “Granula”: Hard comprehensive grains, without sugar, conceived as dietary remedy. Far from what we see today on the shelves of the supermarket. Over time, the recipe was sweet to conquer palates. As The Independent recalls, 153 years later the sugar became an essential ingredient: first with honey and syrups, then with refined. Granola went from a austere food to mass consumption product, with industrial versions that have little “light”. The perfect combo for a sugar climb. The explanation behind this situation is physiological. Jessie Inchauspé, author of The Glucose Goddesss, explained in The Telegraph That the typical combination of granola – oatmeal, honey -free sugars and dehydrated fruit – is the perfect storm to shoot blood glucose. If you take as the first meal of the day and with an empty stomach, the peak is fast and tall. The problem comes later: that high is followed by an abrupt drop that translates into tiredness, hunger and craving as a sweeter. To this is added what Healthline call “ration effect”: Although many brands talk about portions of 30–45 g, it is usual to be served between 60 and 100 g. Double sugar, double calories, without realizing it, it is added that many granars carry vegetable or coconut oils. They are not “bad” in themselves, but they raise caloric density and facilitate excess. Benefits that are still present. Not everything was going to be bad. Despite the bad reputation of the most commercial versions, the granola also retains virtues if the ingredients are chosen well. As Healthline has pointed outoats, nuts and seeds slow down digestion, help control appetite, improve blood pressure, stabilize glucose and nourish intestinal microbiota. To this are added micronutrients such as magnesium, zinc, vitamin E and antioxidants that reinforce the immune system and fight inflammation. In parallel, The Telegraph He has cited studies They show how a daily intake of three grams of oats oatmeal can reduce the so -called “bad” cholesterol. So how to integrate it? The majority of nutritionists agree that the granola must play the role of companion and not of breakfast. In The Telegraph They recommend treating it as a toping: A couple of tablespoons on Greek yogurt or kefir, with fresh fruit – specially berries – to add fiber and antioxidants. For its part, According to Healthlineyou have to combine it with healthy protein and fats helps reduce the glycemic impact and prolong satiety. The important thing is not to banish it, but to measure the amount and balance the plate. The verdict. Granola is not the enemy, but neither does the panacea. According to dietitian Nichola Ludlam-Raine on The Telegraphit can be a healthy breakfast if you opt for low varieties in added sugars, rich in fiber and integral, and always in the recommended ration. Healthline coincides: It is nutritious and satiating, but many industrial versions are dense in calories and sugars. However, the counterpoint puts it The Independentsince he points out that some commercial granars rival sugar with pastries. In those cases, the result is inevitable: glucose peaks, low energy and early hunger.
