What cars can circulate and which ones rest on April 26

by

Fourth week of April, week of (obviously) today restrictions does not circulate sabbatino. Because as you imagine, we maintain all the obligations to stay at home under fine if our car is affected by this type of restrictions. Because? Today does not circulate, that project designed by the CDMX Ministry of Environment (Sedema) with which he tries to breathe the quality of the air we breathe. But how is it defined? What must be taken into account? The idea is that at least cars circulating, less pollution we will have in the. atmosphere. Although they are a bit uncomfortable obligations, the idea is to leave the car at home for everyone’s good. Of course, where it applies. What is applied? In the 16 mayors in Mexico City and in the following conurbation municipalities of the State of Mexico: Atizapán de Zaragoza Coacalco de Berriozábal Cuautitlán Cuautitlán Izcalli Chalco Chicoloapan Chimalhuacán Ecatepec de Morelos Huixquilucan Ixtapaluca La Paz Naucalpan de Juárez Nezahualcóyotl Nicolás Romero Tecámac Tlalnepantla de Baz Tultitlán Chalco Valley What cars and plaques affect the Sabatino today Taking all this into account, what restrictions apply? And why do you have more things into account on Saturdays? Because, indeed, on days like today there are some specific restrictions. To define what are the restrictions and how they apply, they apply taking into account the hologram of each car. This is what marks whether or not a car can leave home. There are cars that have to rest every Saturday, others that rotate … In short, the following cases can be given: Cars that can circulate every Saturday Cars that have to rest every Saturday Cars that rest on a Saturday yes and another Restrictions, yes, do not apply all day. They are active between 05:00 and 10:00 p.m.. That is, at night we can move freely and without taking into account any type of restriction. But what if we are affected by today does not circulate? Well, basically, it will touch us at home if we don’t want to be fined. To do this, you have to be very clear who can circulate and who not. Thus, those of Hologogram 2 rest every Saturday. They cannot circulate any Saturday, there is not much to think. Nor do those of Hologram 0 and 00 have to take many laps because they can leave every Saturday without taking into account the restrictions. However, it is those of Hologram 1 who have to stop to think whether or not they can leave home. It depends, basically, on the week in which we are. As we are in the fourth week of April, the Saturday April 26, 2025 The cars with a plate finished in torque are obliged to stay at home. Next week, in the first week of April, they will be cars with Hologram 1 and plaque finished in odd number will have to stay at home. Despite this, there are some exceptions that must be taken into account because those cars can move with total freedom: Those that work for electricity, natural gas or are hybrid Those who have disabled plate All those dedicated to urban transport services (includes funerals) Those who offer school or passenger transport Those destined for public safety and/or civil protection In case of breaching these restrictions, the fine will be 20 to 30 times the unit of measurement and update (Uma), which is equivalent to 1,924.40 pesos and even 2,886.60 pesos.

His distance with NASA is narrowing

by

A long time ago that China set the year From his arrival on the moon by 2030, almost five years after the date initially planned by NASA to put the first woman on the satellite surface. NASA’s plans have been delayed, but China keeps theirs firm; and now the United States advantage in the new space race It is narrower than ever. Context. NASA sent 12 men to the moon Between 1969 and 1972. Apollo missions launched with Saturn V, one of the most powerful rockets in history. Astronauts were in a modular ship that orbit the moon, descended to the surface and returned, with different modules. Unlike the Apollo program, the New Artemisa program It raises the return to the moon with a SLS rocket for takeoff, an Orion capsule to orbit the satellite and a huge commercial ship, the Spacex starship, for the alunication. That the starship is not yet ready is one of the reasons for the delay of the Artemis III mission, now scheduled for not before 2027. Two rockets for two ships. Although its long -term plans are as ambitious as those of the United States (create A manned lunar base that serves as a springboard for future Martian missions), China plans to take astronauts to the moon with a much simpler architecture than Artemis III. He will do it with two consecutive releases of the new CZ-10 rocket, of the state company CASC. The first will launch the Mengzhou ship, where three astronauts will go. The second will launch the Lanyue ship, which will travel empty to the orbit of the moon, where it will be attached to the Mengzhou to access two of the three astronauts, which will then descend on it to the surface. Image published in Baidu that mentions the five launches of the Cz-10 rocket The Chinese lunar calendar. Although the date of the first mooning was already known, we have just known the road map of the Chinese manned space agency (CMSA) thanks to an image that appeared In a Baidu channel that collects Eureka. According to this filtration, the launch of the first Chinese astronauts who will step on the Moon will be the fifth mission of the CZ-10 rocket. The rocket debut is planned for 2027 in a mission without crew called Y1. The first CZ-10 will predictably launch the first Mengzhou ship to the moon. Two options. Most likely, the following year, in 2028, China lance another two CZ-10: the Y2 mission with the first Lanyue Empty ship and the Y3 mission with the second Mengzhou ship; In this case, manned by the first Chinese who will orbit the moon. It would be a general landing essay: the two ships would be attached and decoupled in lunar orbit, with the astronauts present, but Lanyue would go empty to the surface of the satellite to demonstrate that it is safe. It is also possible that the test is carried out directly next to the Y1 mission, coupling the first Lanyue to the first Mengzhou (both without crew), but it would be risky to try the rocket for the first time with a complete essay, which requires two releases. The Apollo 11 of China. Finally, not before 2029, but before the end of 2030, the Y4 mission would launch a Lanyue ship already validated for manned alunage. Shortly after, the mission Y5 would launch the Mengzhou ship with three astronauts, including the first two Chinese who will step on the moon. They will be the Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin from China, although predictably one of them would be an astronaut; Especially if Artemis III continues to delay and the symbolic milestone of putting the first woman on the moon is still available.

sperm races with live repetitions and statistics

by

In the world of billionaires, Extravagant ideas They seem to have no limits. The latest in exclusive entertainment is not a speed competitionof resistance or skill. Actually, contestants can be resting Quietly, while a part of them rises with victory: sperm races have arrived for millionaires. A career for your life. The initiative starts from the startup Sperm Racingwhich has already raised a million and a half dollars To organize this unprecedented event. The chosen stage is the historic Hollywood Palladium in Los Angeles, where on April 25 at 6:00 p.m. (April 26 at 3:00 a Spanish peninsular time) It will be held The first sperm race in history. According to the organization, it is planned that more than 4,000 attendees will witness live how two sperm samples They compete on a racing track specially designed to simulate the female reproductive system. The “contestants”. The event It consists of facing the signs of sperm of Tristan and Asher, two university vigorous of UCLA and USC, entities with a special rivalry. As detailed in the Competition Manifestotheir sperm will travel a track 20 centimeters long, in which a series of “chemical signals, fluid dynamics and synchronized signals” have been arranged, all thought to reproduce the real conditions of the human body. The movement of the tiny contenders, who measure only 0.05 millimeters, will be captured by “high -resolution cameras trace each microscopic movement. Everything is broadcast live, with statistics, classification tables and instant repetitions.” The show is served. In order for the public to follow the development of the race, the image will be expanded 40 times, allowing to trace the progress of each sample. Taking into account that sperm usually swim for about five millimeters per minute, each race will last at least 40 minutes to complete the 20 centimeters to the goal. The sperm that before crossing the goal will be the winner, giving his donor the glory in this peculiar tournament. The background is not nonsense. Eric Zhu, the young co -founder of Sperm Racing, argues that this race is not only a viral joke, but a serious attempt to raise awareness about the male reproductive health. “The sperm races are not limited to competing with the best specimens, although, being honest, it is hilarious,” Zhu said in his manifesto. “It’s about making male fertility something that people really want to talk, continue and improve.” Beyond the show and curiosity of the new competitive discipline, the truth is that the science has already certifiedthat the quality of the semen of western men It has descended. In the 70s, the average count was at 99 million gametes, compared to the 47 million that on average were counted in the early 21st century. Athlete care. A study From the Bernabeu Institute, based on 8,000 samples analyzed during the last five years, it reveals that the sperm count per milliliter has fallen 16.75%, and its motility has decreased by 12%. As they joked in The Cuttaking into account Elon Musk’s effort for having childrenit would not be strange if you were fond of this sport to Encourage birth throughout the planet.

Spotify will rise in price this summer in Europe and Latin America, according to FT. Some countries will be out of adjustment

by

Everything indicates that Spotify will adjust its prices again. According to Financial Timesthe streaming giant plans a new climb that will affect several countries in Europe and Latin America as soon as this summer. It would be a strategic change that, for the moment, has not been officially announced and that relies on anonymous sources. What seems clear is that the United States would be out of movement. It is not a minor detail: it is its largest market and already lived a price increase in July last year. The scope of the adjustment is not yet confirmed. There is no concrete list of affected countries, but the British medium offers clues that allow anticipating the course. In recent weeks, and almost silently, Spotify has increased its rates in the Netherlands and Luxembourg. In both cases, the price of the individual plan has gone from 10.99 to 12.99 euros per month. For the rest of Europe and Latin America, however, there is talk of a more gradual approach. According to these same sources, the company would be considering a rise of only 1 euro in the individual plan. It would be a more content adjustment, probably to avoid any adverse reaction in markets where there are millions of customers. In the case of Spain, the history of upload is limited. For more than ten years, the individual plan remained at 9.99 euros. It was not until July 2023 when Spotify applied its first adjustmentraising the price up to 10.99 euros. If the rumors are confirmed, the new price could be at 11.99 euros per month from this summer. It should be remembered that in the United States, where the climb is already a fact, users are currently paying $ 11.99 a month for the same plan. It will be necessary to see how the market reacts if this new round of increases is formalized. And above all, what countries are finally included. At the moment, the only certain thing is that Spotify moves. And it is not an isolated movement. All this happens at a key moment for the company. Spotify has just registered benefits after 18 years accumulating losses. A milestone that marks a before and after in its financial strategy. Besides, The rumors point to work in a new subscription that would finally include audio in high fidelity. A long -awaited promise that could be part of the redesign of its offer to justify the new price positioning.

how Recall operates and the other functions that come from today

by

Microsoft had been talking about artificial intelligence in Windows 11. And although he had already launched functions such as live subtitles either The effects of Windows Studiohis great bet was still without materializing. Today the story changes: The company has started the deployment of recallits star function, and does it accompanied by other novelties such as click to do and an improved search. It is his clearest movement so far to mark ground in the race for AI on the desk, where Apple plays with Apple Intelligence. Recall, problems, solutions and launch Recall is a function designed to capture what you see on screen and allow you to look for it later. If you remember having seen the name of a restaurant days ago but you don’t know where, Recoall can help you find it through text coincidences and images, automatically organized according to its relevance. In addition, it allows you to return directly to the content where you left it. Presented in May 2024Recall had to arrive next to the first PC Copilot+Microsoft’s great bet for AI. However, sa launch was delayed after security criticisms that questioned their design. The function takes screenshots periodically, analyzes them by OCR and stores them in a local database. That base, as several experts pointed out, could be accessed too easily by malicious software, even without administrator privileges. In practice, you could expose all user’s visual activity, including personal data, deleted messages or confidential information. Microsoft responded after these criticism by introducing important changes. To start, Recall is no longer activated by default: during the initial system configuration, the user must explicitly accept if he wants to enable it. It is also possible to deactivate it at any time from configuration. In addition, the system now incorporates automatic filters to avoid storing sensitive content, such as passwords or credit card numbers. The processing and management of the data are isolated through safe enclaves (vbs enclaves), and access to the function Requires authentication through Windows Hello. Even so, the company recognizes that Recall is still in preliminary phase, subject to changes and improvements. This type of deployment is not exclusive to Microsoft. Apple Intelligence, although available without the need for betas, is also in preliminary phase. Artificial desktop intelligence, for now, is launched to evolve on the fly. Click to do and the new search: also in small actions Together with Recall, Microsoft has launched click to do, a function that remembers Google’s circle to Search. It is activated with the Windows key and a left mouse click, and allows Interact directly with texts and images of what you are seeing: from summarizing a paragraph to eliminating an object from an image. The Windows search is also reinforced. Now it allows to introduce unpelded descriptions and find results without remembering file names or exact words. What do you need to use them All the functions presented today, including Recall, Click To do and the new search, are available only on computers with the PC Co -cilot+label. Even if you have a powerful team, if you do not have this certification, you will not be able to access them. The reason is in the NPU (neuronal processing units) With at least 40 topsnecessary to process ia locally and with low energy consumption. The deployment begins with the April 2025 update not related to security. If you are not part of the Windows Insider program, you will receive these novelties in an update that will arrive during the next month.

The answer that recruiters no longer want to hear in work interviews

by

In each selection process, there is a moment That everyone fear And few know how to drive with ease because it implies facing personal weaknesses themselves: “What is your greatest weakness?”. The pressure to interpret the perfect candidate paper For the position, suddenly, he begins to make a dent and give a wrong answer can Make you lose points. The result is that, as the expert sociologist and Tiktoker Andrea Ramos (@Reclutidovoy,) counted In one of his videos: recruiters are already tired of always hearing the same. Although it seems impossible, there is an adequate answer for this question, and some recruitment experts have revealed the secret. Wonders for a good reason At some point in the selection process The inevitable question arises And candidates know that their words should measure a lot. They cannot answer simply with a: “I am Unable to wake up In time in the morning “or with a” I have a tendency to get out of problems“Because that, logically, would cause its immediate rejection. That weakness, clashes frontally with the responsibilities of the position and is not making amendment purpose. According to Sonia RodríguezSenior consultant in technical engineering in Randstad with more than a decade of experience in personnel selection, “the objective of this question is to know the level of self -knowledge that candidates have about their professional skills. What we are interested in knowing is what he would like to improve as a professional, not in the personal sphere.” For Lidia Sanz CostaTechnique of Selection, Development and Training in Companies IMAN, “The purpose of this question is not only to know what skills the candidate lacks, but to understand how he perceives himself, how he manages his weak points and if they can affect or not affect the role he will play.” “I am very perfectionist”: the answer that no longer works As Andrea Ramos pointed out in her video, the most common answer to this question is “I am very perfectionist”, and this is confirmed by the staff selection experts we have consulted. “‘I am very perfectionist’ or ‘I am very responsible’, I would say that 90% of the candidates comment one or both arguments,” says Rodríguez. According to the Tiktoker expert in human resources, This phrase has become a cliché So repeated that recruiters detect it instantly and discard it automatically. Simply, it doesn’t sneak. The problem of this answer is that it already sounds like a template taken from the Internet or LinkedIn, and does not provide real information about the candidate. “We expect sincerity. If a person comments that he is good to work as a team, but in the day to day he avoids participating in meetings, that is where we see that there is an incoherence with what he explained in the interview. That is why we value that the candidates can share a realistic weakness, but also to explain how it is minimizing it,” says Sanz. Common errors and the correct way to respond Among the most common errors When answering this question, it stands out to limit Respond with monosyllablesremain silent, or ensure that there is no weakness. “It’s about responding with sincerity and naturalness, in the end nobody is perfect and as I say in interviews to lead this issue: ‘We all have something to continue working to be better than yesterday,” says Randstad’s expert. For Lidia Sanz, the ideal is to show a real weaknessbut that does not directly affect the performance of the position. And the most important thing is to explain What is being done to improve it. Know recognize a weak point and be doing something to improve it It says a lot about a person at a professional level. “If someone says that it is difficult for him to speak in public, he can add that he is being formed or has begun to participate in meetings to gain confidence. It is also important arguments and positive speech,” the recruiter advised.

Latin millionaires set their residence in Madrid. Private bench has begun to open branches only for them

by

All cities of a certain size have certain neighborhoods in which the Density of wealthy people exceeds the average. In the case of Madrid that neighborhood has traditionally been the Salamanca neighborhood, and the type of housing that, by surface and qualities, in it, in it, is witnessing it, in it It has been built. That real estate valuehe has turned the central Madrid neighborhood into the new destination for the Latin American millionairesto those who do not tremble their pulse for Pay up to 13,000 the square meter for a second residence on this side of the Atlantic. Before the rise of these new neighbors in the neighborhood, the response of the bank has not been waiting. BBVA has announced The opening of a new exclusive office on Goya Street in Madrid only for Latin Millionaires. The requirements for you to meet: a minimum capital of 500,000 euros and economic interests on both sides of the ocean. The Spain of the two benches While in the rest of Spain the banks close physical branches (only in 2024, the Santander announced the closure of 200 offices) and mails must take care of giving coverage of Effective to Spain emptiedin the Wealthy neighborhoods in Madrid The trend is just the opposite. Financial entities have identified the potential of this capital flow and have opted to open specialized offices, such as the new BBVA private bank branch in the heart of the Salamanca neighborhood. Where if not. This office, the first of its kind in Spain, is designed exclusively to serve Latin American clients with high assets. As I pointed out The Economic newspaper Fifodiesthe branch manages a base of 583 clients, whose joint assets amounts to 440 million euros. The objective of this new “luxury” branch is to offer a personalized service to those who have investments and assets On both sides of the Atlanticfacilitating the management of its wealth in a global and coordinated way by focusing on both European and Latin Americans. To access this private banking service, customers must have a minimum financial assets of 500,000 euros. In addition, there are differentiated services for those who have between 500,000 and two million euros, and for ultra -ups with more than 10 million. At the global level, the BBVA Private Banking Division manages assets valued at about 140,000 million euros. The best bankers: yes, those of Madrid At the Goya BBVA Private Banking Office, he serves a team of five bankers specialized in managing assets in Mexico, Colombia or Peru markets. Each of these bankers makes periodic trips to their assigned country to maintain direct contact with customers and understand their specific needs. That is to say, They are the ones who queue To talk to your customers. Karma. According to statements by Fernando Ruiz, director of private banking of the entity in Spain, published in InvertiaThe average international client profile that is attended from this branch has an average heritage of 800,000 euros. By nationalities, 50% are Colombians; 30% Mexicans and the remaining 20% ​​are Peruvians. Beyond traditional financial management, BBVA offers a range of extrafinancial services specifically designed for this high purchasing power client profile. Do not think about the latest generation televisions, televisions or mobiles. As confirmed by the bankers themselves Fifodieswe talk about exclusive experiences, such as entries for Real Madrid parties or the mutual Open Madrid, private visits to museums such as Prado and Thyssen, and training courses on the transmission of family heritage. Although this personalized attention model is anecdotal in Spain, it already works successfully in enclaves with High concentration of millionaire populationlike Zurich and Miami. If the Salamanca neighborhood office works, perhaps this model could extend to Other areas of Spain who also host great Latin American fortunes, such as Galicia, Barcelona or the Costa del Sol.

In its darkest time Intel is receiving a crucial economic support from its best client: China

by

China is the largest market in which Intel is present. During the fiscal year of 2024 29% of its turnover Proceeded from this Asian countrycompared to 24% of the US. And is that of the 53,100 million dollars that This company entered last year nothing less than 15,400 million arrived from China. These figures reflect very clearly how important the country led by Xi Jinping for Intel is. And also how sensitive it is to the geopolitical context. In fact, SANCTIONS TO CHINA That the US government has deployed during the last two years have prevented this veteran company from selling its most advanced chips to its Chinese clients. Nvidia, AMD, Broadcom or Qualcomm has happened to them, but Intel is at a very delicate moment. Of the economic crisis facing We have spoken in depth In other articles. And, in addition, it can be aggravated by the commercial war that the US and China is currently. Mature chips are helping Intel to survive in China The company founded by Gordon Moore and Robert Noyce in 1968 does not design and manufactures only PC microprocessors, GPU for games and games artificial intelligence (AI) and quantum processors. An important part of the Intel business is supported by the commercialization of relatively old integrated circuits that come from their mature lithography nodes. They are not at all avant -garde semiconductors, but they are still necessary. At the current situation of tension between the US and China for this last country, these mature integrated circuits are crucial At the current tension situation between the US and China for this last country, these mature integrated circuits are crucial. Chinese chip designers and manufacturers are capable of supply your own market with The mature chips you need Appliances manufacturers, telecommunications or cars equipment, among other industries. However, many users, research centers and universities in China continue to use software for X86 and X86-64 processors, so at the moment they cannot do without the CPUs designed to execute it. Intel is currently benefiting from this need. And is that, according to ReutersChina is promoting in a very important way the demand for its oldest microprocessors for personal computers and servers. It is evident that in current circumstances this demand represents a very valuable fresh air breath for Intel, although a predictable future exchange of tariffs between the US and China in the field of integrated circuits could greatly degrade this business segment. We will see what happens, but there is no doubt about one thing: China continues to be very important for Intel.

How simple gestures tell us how good we are aging

by

In recent days, various media They have echoed of The statements what he did in his podcast Peter Attia, expert in longevity. In your program, The Peter Attia Drivethe toilet explained that a man between 40 and 50 years should be able to load his own weight (75% of his weight in the case of women) distributed between his two hands and walk for a minute. This raises a curious doubt: what does our grip force With longevity? Well, although it may seem surprising, our grip strength can tell us a lot about how we are aging. Several studies published in recent years seem to confirm this relationship, turning the grip force into an important biomarker linked to healthy aging. “People with better grip force age more slowly. Having a good grip force can slow down the immunosenescence process, or the deterioration of your immune defense associated with age,” Ardeshir Hashmi explainsdoctor at Cleveland Clinic. “You can also improve your ability to recover of diseases, or homeostenesis. Finally, it can prevent fragility. “ The lack of grip force is, for this expert, not only indicator of a faster aging, also a sign of a higher risk of chronic and even a lower life expectancy. Scientific literature seems to secondary this relationship. A study Published this year in the magazine Scientific ReportsIt is a good example of this. The study analyzed a population of 1,446 agent participants between 50 and 90 years of age, the majority (1,095) women. The team measured the grip force of each participant, who also filled a survey focused on estimate your quality of life. The team found a significant relationship between grip and the general evaluation of the level of quality of life. Another recent studypublished in 2023 in the magazine Journal of Cachexia, Sarcopenia and MuscleHe used biological watches to study the relationship between grip and aging force. Biological watches are different biomarkers that indicate to what extent or what rhythm our body ages beyond our standard chronological age. The study responsible for the study also found an inverse relationship between aging, measured through markers of the DNA methylationand the grip force. In other words: people with greater force of grip tend to age more slowly as observed in this study. Posted in the same magazine, but a year earlier, Another study He found that the little grip force was associated with a major risk of dementia Already greater mortality. This taking into account associated factors that could lead to establishing the relationship. These are some of the recent examples found in the literature. In 2019, A review of literature Published in the magazine Clinical interventions in aging He had already found, in previous analysis, evidence of the link between the grip force and health, through factors as varied as general strength, density of bone minerals, fractures, malnutrition, cognitive impediments, diabetes, depression or quality of life, among others. Remedying loss Some doctors, such as Dr. Hashmi recommend exercise to avoid the loss of this grip force, a loss associated with the age that tends to begin around the age of 50. According to hashmithis can be as simple as squeezing a ball (such as the classic antiestrés balls) for at least 10 minutes and twice a day. This without forgetting Conventional exercises that can help us to keep ourselves in form in more advanced ages. Although the recommendation to exercise and lead an active life is never more, it should be noted that the relationship between the grip force and our welfare and longevity is complex. Correlation does not always imply a direct cause ratio. For example, grip force can perfectly be correlated with our general health status. People who exercise will probably have greater grip force and also a better state of health. In addition, we know some forms of dementia and neurological diseases such as scleriosis not only reduce our quality of life, but also They affect our mobility and our ability to handle and develop when it comes to doing so.

Barcelona began to excavate to build a parking. Ended up discovering a medieval ship of 10 my and uncertain origin

by

His intention was to build a new parking, but the team in charge of the works of the Ciutadella del Coneixementin Barcelona, ​​has ended up doing something very different: finding an archaeological finding that has already captured the interest of the historians of the Catalan capital. And it’s normal. What technicians have located under the ground of the city, to five meters Under the sea level, it is neither more nor less than a medieval long -won over 10 meters long and three wide. The first studies estimate that the boat dates from the fifteenth or sixteenth centuries, but questions are left to answer. What happened? That the Barcelona subsoil has just given a surprise (and a joy) to historians. Another one. A few weeks ago, during the construction works of the future Parking of the BSM in the Ciutadella del Coneixement, archaeologists located the remains of a ship that, according to the first estimates, would date from the fifteenth or sixteenth centuries. It is not the first once the work on the site of the old Mercat del Peix brought to light remains of historical interest, but as Recognize The Archeology Service of the Barcelona City Council is “exceptional”. Good proof is that the town hall has launched A statement (and a wide image gallery) to value the wreck and team of archaeologists in charge of documenting the remains has spoken with the means to clear some doubts. What have you discovered? The “partial remains Of a sunk ship “, a boat that ended up wafraling or abandoned and priori (already waiting for her to advance her study), experts have dated between the fifteenth and sixteenth centuries. To be more precise, during their investigation, archaeologists have found a structure formed by thirty notebooks and part of the wooden pieces that covered the exterior of the fuselage. In total the pec ten meters long for just over three wide. “The tables are nailed in the notebooks with circular section timber, a kind of wooden nails that served to join the parts. Two longitudinal pieces set with iron nails are also preserved,” details The City Council Archeology Service. In the world’s surroundings, very fertile sand and alms have also been located that include “organic remains” of interest, such as hazelnut seeds or even pineapple remains. Do we know anything else? In addition to date it around the fifteenth and sixteenth, experts They point that the construction style of the ship was common in the Mediterranean medieval and extended throughout Europe from the mid -XV. They are however Some questions for responding, as its exact origin or what function I played. To clear some of those unknowns archaeologists are also investigating the remains of seeds and alms that surround the wreck. What will happen to him? The City Council He has stressed The importance of the finding because it is “a unique source of knowledge” on navigation and naval construction techniques that were used in the Barcelona of the fifteenth and sixteenth centuries. However, not everything is in his favor. The remains are found in a “very fragile state of conservation”, which forces experts to be cautious. To prevent the soaked from drying and degraded by being exposed to the weather, the technicians have partially kept it with the sand that has been used for centuries. The objective of the Archeology Service of Barcelona and the Archaeological Museum of Catalonia is now to document the remains and “guarantee the conservation” of the wreck, which has already been baptized as ‘Citadel I’. “The first actions have included three -dimensional documentation works, the marking of the pieces, the sampling and the preparation of the transfer in containers full of water that ensure the temporary conservation of the remains,” The Consistory requires. The materials will be transferred to “specialized facilities” so that they can treat them with water and hydrosoluble wax, a substance with which the structure is to be reinforced. What tells us about Barcelona? The wreck is not interesting only for the boat itself and what can be told about medieval navigation or naval. Another key is what can tell us about the development of Barcelona. After all, the remains appeared in the old Mercat del Peix, at a depth of more than five meters under sea level.
