We have been confusing celiachy and gluten intolerance for years. The difference is important but invisible to the naked eye

In recent years we have seen that celiacía or celiac disease and gluten intolerances They were visible. Although today society is more familiar with these terms, the fact that the element that unleashes both adverse reactions of our body is the same, gluten, implies possible confusion between one disorder and another. Let’s start with the basics: What is gluten. Gluten is a protein that we can find in the grains of some plants, among which we can highlight wheat, rye or barley. Gluten can even be extracted and used as an additive to give some texture and flavor. However, in the supermarket we will also find products that highlight in its packaging the absence of this protein. The reason is that many people feel adverse reactions to their consumption. These reactions have different origins but similar symptoms, which makes many people not familiar with the differences between these two disorders. Celiacy It is an autoimmune disorder. When celiac people consume buttocks, their immune system is unleashed and damages intestinal villi. These are microscopic projections that are part internal lining of the intestine, fundamental when absorbing nutrients. The damage caused hinders precisely the absorption of nutrients after the autoimmune reaction is unleashed. We do not know of the existence of a cure for this disease and it is little that we know of its origin. We do know that there is a hereditary component: people with celiac relatives are more likely to suffer from this disorder. Among its symptoms, abdominal pain, gases, constipation, apparently inexplicable weight loss, among others, can be found. Gluten intolerance, gluten sensitivity or Non -celiac gluten sensitivity (NCGS) is also unleashed as a reaction to gluten consumption and presents some similar symptoms to celiac disease. However, in these cases, experts are not clear about the intervention of the immune system because antibodies are not detected in our body’s response to protein consumption. This adverse reaction can also make symptoms arise in our digestive system, including gases, diarrhea or constipation; as well as symptoms of other types such as headache, joint pain or rashes. Little by little we study this type of problem, but there is still little we know about this intolerance. Similarities and differences The fundamental difference between gluten and celiacan intolerance is what makes the latter a more serious disorder, and it is the damage that appears in the intestine and that can affect how our body absorbs our body nutrients. This damage does not occur in intolerant people. He Autoimmune origin It can also be seen as an important difference. Both disorders share some symptoms but it is also important to cut the gluten of diets also leads to a rapid improvement of these symptoms. So how is each condition diagnosed? When we feel that gluten feels bad for us We can submit to some tests that tell us if we have celiacy. A Antibody test You can tell us if our body is generating an autoimmune reaction by processing gluten. We can also make a genetic test that tells us if our genes are related to a propensity to suffering from the disease. Finally, a biopsy can indicate if we present intestinal lesions of celiacism. If the tests do not indicate the probability that we suffer from this disease but our symptoms refer by ceasing to consume gluten, it is likely that the diagnosis is NGCS. “Celiac disease is a disorder of the immune system that damages your small intestine even when you eat a small amount of gluten. Celiachy also runs in the blood,” Explain Alberto Rubio Tapiaof the Cleveland Clinic. “(Non -celiac gluten sensitivity) is a digestive disorder, not an immune system problem. NGCS does not damage your intestine and does not tend to repeat itself in families.” As if this were not enough, there is another disorder that can sometimes lead us to confusion. Celiacía and intolerance should not be confused with food allergiesespecially with the Wheat allergy. Being wheat, an important gluten source, falling into this error can be easy. A not very severe food allergy can cause similar symptoms that could be confused with those of celiac disease or with gluten intolerance. Other symptoms of allergies, such as itching in the eyes or respiratory problems can help us distinguish this third problem. Distinguishing between the three conditions is more important than it seems. The most severe food allergies can put our lives at risk, but celiachy is also related to serious health problems that can occur in the long term. Celiac people tend for example to present a Greater risk of suffering from intestinal cancer, lactose intolerance or type I diabetes.

The great debate about whether iOS is safer than Android, myths and realities of ‘Breaking Bad’ and much more in 1×09 crossover

Can anyone manufacture your own drugs How did it happen in ‘Breaking Bad’? To tell us about the myths and realities of that series and many other things, he has accompanied us In this 1×09 crossover A very special guest: Breaking Vlad. This well -known scientific disseminator is also an original content creator because of his way of talking about chemical experiments, and in the interview we have been able to do, he answers striking questions about the radiation of phones or about the future of hydrogen cars. Presented as sowing by Jaume Lahoz and Carlos Santa Engracia, in this episode the collaboration of Xataka serves to reactivate an old and controversial debate: If iOS is safer than Android. Both platforms have been really reliable for a long time, and perhaps the problem, as the interview reveals, is another. It is also necessary to separate that debate from another in which Apple does take advantage of Google. One thing is security – things are balanced – and another very different privacy, where Apple’s business model – which is not focused on advertising – allows the company to give more guarantees. In 1×09 crossover there is also a place to make a fun debate about false news that we have seen these days – a Chromecast with integrated Tinder? -, and as we always expect your comments and ideas to improve in upcoming episodes.

Thousands of ASUS routers have been committed to an intrusion campaign: restart them does not eliminate the threat

A new intrusion campaign has put several models of ASUS routers. According to GraynoiseSpecialized in cybersecurity, at least three different devices would be exploited by an actor “highly trained and with sufficient resources.” Sophisticated threats are usually aimed at very specific objectives, but this campaign has a broader pattern. Researchers have already detected about 9,000 committed devices, and ensure that the number continues to increase. It is believed that the foundations could be laying for a future botnet, Key piece for DDOS attacks. Persistent access without malware The attackers get initial access through brute force techniques And the use of evasion strategies that still do not have an identifier Cve. In cybersecurity, a CVE (acronym for common vulnerabilities and exposures) is a standard reference that is used to catalog known vulnerabilities publicly. {“Videid”: “X801AZU”, “Autoplay”: False, “Title”: “How to protect your Android from viruses and malware: tricks and advice”, “tag”: “”, “duration”: “271”} After that first step, cybercriminals take advantage of a specific vulnerability already documented, identified as CVE-2023-39780to execute arbitrary commands and modify the router configuration from within. The objective is not to install a traditional spy virus or software, but something more subtle: open a remote rear door. To do this, they enable SSH access in a specific port (TCP/53282) and insert their own public key into the NVRAM memory, a type of internal storage that It is not erased by restarting the router nor when updating your firmware. In this way, the attacker’s access persists in time, without leaving obvious signs. The researchers have replicated the attack on several specific models, including the ASUS RT-AC3100, RT-AC3200 and RT-AX55. It is not an official list of committed devices, but a clue to which they could be in the spotlight. At the moment, it is not ruled out that there are other models also exposed. Greynoise has not officially attributed the campaign to any specific group. However, he points out that the techniques used (the use of legitimate functions of the system, the deactivation of the activity records and the absence of visible malware) are usual characteristics of Very elaborate attacks and long -term planned. These types of operations are usually linked to the calls APTacronym in English of Advanced Persistant Threat. These are cyber -cyber -acting groups that act with advanced technical means, great discretion and very defined objectives, often related to strategic or governmental interests. The finding occurred the past March 18thanks to SIFTan analysis tool developed by Greynoise. The publication of the details It was intentionally delayed to facilitate coordination with public agencies and companies in the sector before making it public. How to know if your router has been committed Asus has corrected vulnerability CVE-2023-39780 In a recent firmware update. However, if the device was compromised before applying that patch, remote access can remain active. Greynoise offers a series of steps that can help detect whether a router has been affected, although it is true that some of them They can be complex for those who are not familiar with technical concepts or do not handle with ease in the advanced device configuration. Even so, it is convenient to meet them: Access the configuration of your router and verify if the access by SSH is enabled in the TCP/53282 port. Check the file called Authorized_Keyssince it could contain an unauthorized public key. Block these IP addresses, associated with the campaign: 101.99.91.151, 101.99.94.173, 79.141.163.179 and 111.90.146.237. If you suspect that your device is affected, perform a complete factory restoration and configure it manually. In Xataka Openai has just demonstrated that the AI ​​no longer completely obeys: O3 sabote its own shutdown to continue working The scale of the attack and its ability to stay hidden reinforce a key lesson: the safety of domestic routers should not be taken for granted. Although in this case malware has not been installed, the attackers They have left an open door. We have contacted Asus to request comments on this campaign and know if they plan to offer new additional measures or recommendations.

No one understands why the former Google CEO has bought a rocket company. He says it: Datacenters in space

If the New Space is full of something, it is from Billonario Technological CEOS, but what Eric Schmidt Shopping Relativity Space He caught the sector by surprise. He has offered an explanation. Context. Whatever it was Google CEO for a decade He surprised the space sector two months ago acquiring a majority participation in the Relativity Space rocket company. The Californian startup has never reached orbit, but made a test launch of a 3D printed rocket, Terran 1, and It is developing a partially reusable commercial rocketTerran R. After the acquisition of the company, Eric Schmidt assumed the role of CEO, a position he did not occupy since he left the Mountain View giant in 2011. Data centers in space. Eric Schmidt is obsessed with the amount of energy and computing capacity that will need to move artificial intelligence. It was the journalist Eric Berger, from Ars Technicawho joined the points. The idea of ​​displaying data centers in space, feeding them with solar energy and keeping them cold without using water “probably explain why Schmidt bought relativity space,” Berger commented on X. The next day, Eric Schmidt responded with a monosyllable: “Yeah.” The unprecedented scale of AI. In an appearance before the Energy and Commerce Committee of the United States Congress, Schmidt put some figures on the table: “10 gigaw data centers are being raised, when an average nuclear power plant in the United States generates 1 Gigavatio. One of the estimates that I think is most likely that data centers will require 29 additional energy gigawatts by 2027, and 67 more gigawatts for 2030. These things are industrial to a scale that I have never seen in my life.” The money is in the datacenters. Since no country is prepared for such an energy escalation, Schmidt has in mind to get the databases from the Earth. Although incredibly ambitious and challenging, the hypothetical space data centers could make sense if energy is a bottleneck on earth. With reusable rockets to launch satellite constellations, photovoltaic solar energy always available for part of the constellation and dissipation of heat in the emptiness of the space, they could even be profitable or safer than the Earth Data Centers. But everything is about to demonstrate, from cheap throws to heat dissipation. What state is Relatity Space. The reality is that far from competitors such as Spacex, although it is a much younger company. He had bet in full for 3D printed rockets, but removed Terran 1 after his debut flight, in which he could not reach orbit. Terran R is designed to be a direct competitor of Falcon 9, with the capacity to launch 33.5 tons to the low terrestrial orbit in disposable mode and 23.5 tons with a first reusable stage. Although its development has been erratic, capital injection and leadership of Schmidt, whose fortune is estimated at 20,000 million dollars, could revitalize the project and bring it closer to a first launch planned by the end of 2026.

Believing that the healthy lasts less is changing how we eat (and how much we waste)

Today, knowing how much a food really lasts has become almost a mystery. How much does a pepper in the fridge endure? Why does that apple have been in the fruitman for a week and nobody eats it? Have you spoiled or simply believe it? This confusion could be causing something else, an unnecessary increase in food waste. Short. Many foods come with labels such as “consuming preferably before”, “expiration date”, or even “packaged the …”, which has always been interpreted as a deadline for food security. However, According to EFSA (European Food Security Agency), this type of labeling does not mean that food is not safe after that date, but could lose quality, not security. There is a study behind. Between 2018 and 2024, more than 3,500 consumers from the United States, Canada, the United Kingdom and South Korea participated in an academic study in eight parts, Published in the Journal of Marketing Research. The objective of research was to understand how the perception of “healthy foods” affects their management and consumption. In one of the experiments, scientists asked participants to classify six products (cereals, snack bars, protein bars, yogurt, cookies and fried potatoes) in two categories: those who considered healthier and those who believed they would expire faster. The majority assumed that the food considered “healthier” were the ones who thought they would spoil before. Jeehye Christine Kim, professor at the University of Virginia and co -author of the study, explained it as follows: “This is due to the lack of knowledge about the deterioration of food. Consumers apply what they know about fresh fruits and vegetables to packaged foods, even when it is not logical to do it.” But there is something else. Research has shown that consumers were more likely to throw healthy food as their expiration date approached than to discard less healthy products in the same situation. However, researchers have given him a name: Heuristic Health. An automatic assumption that leads to think that, if a food is healthy, it must also be more perishable. That belief is born from the real experience with fresh fruits and vegetables – which are spoiled quickly – and is erroneously applied to packaged products such as yogurts or bars. To that is added another factor: the fear of making mistakes. As we do not always know how to identify whether a food is still safe or not, and since the labels do not help, we prefer to discard it “just in case.” But that “just in case” has a cost: more wasted food, many times without need. A search to waste less. Researchers suggest that one of the keys to solve this problem is on labeling. As explained by Brent McFerran, professor at Simon Fraser University and Co -author of the study, to The Wall Street Journalboth the food industry and governments must act, since “many perfectly healthy and safe foods for consumption usually throw themselves in the trash due to ignorance of how long they can be consumed without danger.” For its part, EFSA promotes information campaigns so that consumers learn the difference between expiration labels and preferred consumption, and drives manufacturers to improve the clarity of their containers. Beyond choosing healthy. Eating healthy should not mean throwing more food. But while confusion persists on what a date printed in a container really means, thousands of perfectly edible products will continue to end in the trash every day. Understanding what the labels mean, demanding clarity and rethinking our perceptions can have a real impact, not only on our health, but also on the planet. Because choosing healthy should also include taking care of what is not wasted.

Ibai is going to launch its own football team to start from the lowest. There is actually a very thoughtful strategy

Ibai Llanos is, without a doubt, The most ambitious Spanish streamer. Restless and little given to be in a single type of content, it is stretching the limits of what can be expected from a creator on the Internet to use, to the point that its new project is out of the merely virtual environment: it has announced that it will finance a football team that will start in the most modest categories with the intention of ascending what you can. From the fourth division. Nothing less than in the fourth Catalan division will start the team, as the streamer From your Tiktok account. “We are going to start in the lowest category in Spain and we will try to ascend over the years, as far as we arrive,” he says (although it is not exactly the lowest possible category). The digital confidential revealswith information arrived from the environment of Ibai, which there is already a field in which to train, whose location will be revealed soon. Aspects such as the name and other issues will be chosen collaboratively. Starting. At the moment, there are no players: they need 20 and a coaching staff, and the search has already begun. He has opened the call for players in his networks, and we sympathize with whom he has to manage the avalanche of children’s videos giving touches. The choice of the fourth Catalan division is not accidental, of course: Ibai resides in Catalonia and that regional category allows you to enter the federated football system. This team still without a name is, therefore, Ibai’s next step within soccer management, after Your football team 7Porcinos fc, will achieve win the world championship of the Kings League devised by Piqué. Buy the Murcia. It is not the first time that Ibai enters the field of soccer management. In 2021 he expressed his desire to Buy Real Murciaproclaiming his desire that “a humble team is respected the shield.” The mention of Murcia is not accidental: although the team is not at its best (especially considering that it was in 1st division, it is now in the first federation, the third level of Spanish football divisions), it has a great stadium, much follow -up in the city and a long history of famous interested in it: Auronplay and Djmariio They were shareholders And they also The presenters of modern life. Investor problems … Football club management for large business or famous groups has generated abundant controversies in recent years. For example, Valencia is plunged into A serious crisis Under the property of Peter Lim, Singapore businessman, who has been accused of bad financial management, lack of investment, sale of key players and disconnection with the local fans. Granada CF has suffered similar problems, managed by Chinese investors and subsequently sold to other funds. In this context, he has suffered management problems and has accused the lack of a stable sports project, with frequent changes of coaches and directive. … and the celebrities. Valladolid suffered a similar image and results crisis that has lasted until very recently: Ronaldo Nazário acquired 51% of the club in 2018 promising to take it to the elite. A roller coaster of promotions and descents led to the disgust of the fans. After a disastrous season, Ronaldo has sold its participation majority to an American investment group. This case is perhaps the clearest of a media personality with a past linked to football that took the controls of a club with disastrous results, and that possibly Ibai is very present. THE INTER CASE. There is another case, very recent, and that concerns other personalities of the sphere of the streaming: The Madrid International Football Club, founded in 2002, amounted from the Madrid regional until reaching Second Division B. in 2020 He merged with the eSports Dux Gaming teambecoming called Dix International of Madrid. Behind the pioneer union, which linked traditional football and eSports under the same seal, were the players Thibaut Courtois and Borja Iglesias, and the Djmariio youtuber. However, economic and administrative conflicts with the Royal Spanish Football Federation in 2022 led Dux Gaming It will separate from the project. The result was that, since then, any approach to traditional football from the orbit of the Streamers It is seen with suspicion. An important challenge. Ibai is accustomed to assuming large -scale challenges, and to get out of Niche appearance projects like the evening. Therefore, your first decision, not to buy an existing team to save time and resources, but to found it from zero and start from below, has a clear strategy. Now it only remains to see if the innumerable decisions that have ahead takes them with the same common sense.

These are the chips that are capable of manufacturing without resorting to the most advanced Machine of ASML

TSMC is not the largest semiconductor manufacturer on the planet by chance. Morris Chang He founded this veteran Taiwanese company in 1987, but his leadership took several years to consolidate. At that time the most important integrated circuit manufacturer was Intel, but The TSMC domain In this industry during the last two decades it is irrefatable. Today monopolizes approximately 60% of the market of the manufacture of integrated circuits, and nothing indicates that in the short term Intel or Samsung, its two main competitors, will be able to dispute your leadership. The success of this company has mainly based on its ability to manufacture large -scale chips using the most advanced integration technologies available and with a very high wafer performance. Here lies its very high competitiveness. And, in addition, he has managed to preserve this position for many years, which has helped him transmit confidence to his solid clients such as a rock. His economic performance is nothing other than a consequence of his career: in 2024 he entered 34% more than in 2023. TSMC claims to be able to bring asml UVE lithography equipment to the limit This integrated circuit manufacturer has confirmed that the tests of its 2 Nm node are being successful, so you can start the large -scale manufacture of semiconductors using this photolithography during the second semester of 2025. However, its medium -term plans do not end here. And is that at the end of last April advance During his North American Technological Conference that is also testing his next avant -garde integration technology. It will call it A14 (1.4 Nm), will enter large -scale production in 2028 and we already know some of its most interesting characteristics. Kevin Zhang ensures that TSMC does not need the ASML UVE High-Nna lithography team to make 1.4 Nm One of its most important spots will consist that you will use transistors Nanosheet Gaa (Gate-alall-around) Second generation. The first generation will arrive next to the Lithography N2 (2 Nm) this year. In addition, this integration technology will land with the promise to make possible the manufacture of integrated circuits with higher performance, higher energy efficiency and a more flexible design. The usual. However, TSMC, fortunately, has been wet and in its event some figures made public that allow us to assess to what extent the arrival of the A14 node will be important. And, according to this company, the integrated circuits produced with the A14 lithography will be 15% faster than the chips manufactured in the NEN N2 with the same consumption; They will reduce energy expenditure by 30% at the same speed, and, in addition, they will put on the table the possibility of increasing the density of logic by 20%. According to Kevin ZhangSenior Vice President and Deputy Director of Operations of TSMC, the A14 node will be attractive to make chips for consumption devices and for strictly professional applications, such as, for example, GPU for artificial intelligence (AI). There is no doubt that TSMC’s promises about their lithography A14 sound good, but there is more that we should not overlook. Zhang says that they will not use the equipment of extreme ultraviolet photolithography (UVE) and haute opening (High-na) that manufactures the Dutch company ASML in this node. This is a technical capacity exhibition. These machines, the most advanced that currently exist, are suitable for producing integrated circuits of 2 nm and beyond. In fact, The lithography 14a (1.4 Nm) It will be the first in which Intel will use the Uve High opening equipment of ASML. However, as we have just seen, TSMC says it can produce chips capable of dealing with comparable semiconductors of Intel and Samsung using conventional UVE equipment. 2025 will be the year in which the lithographs of 2 nm will start, and, therefore, it will be the prelude to a presumably even more bloody battle: that of the 1.4 Nm.

Byd surpasses you in sales and the best -selling electric car is a surprise

Although we are already looking at June and summer, the consolidated car sales figures for Europe have just made an appearance. Like every month since we started the year, there is no good news for Tesla. On the contrary, Volkswagen can be extremely happy and Byd manages to make a place. This is all that have given themselves the first four months of the year. The first four -month period. Europe has closed this first four -month period with a small brake on its sales, according to data from Acea. Between January and April, 3,640,211 cars have been sold in Europe, about 40,000 units less than last year by these dates. We write down a 1.2%drop. Electric cars, however, are growing at a good pace. Last April 145,341 cars of this type were recorded, which are almost 40,000 units more than last year and, above all, a growth of 34.1%. In the accumulated of the year, 558,262 have been counted in the Europe 26.4% more than in the same period of 2023. Tesla. It is, without any doubt, the most striking fact. At this point, last year he had placed 77,314 cars on the market while this year he has only managed to get 41,677 units. It is a 46.1%drop. The fall is of such wingspan that its market share has also been reduced by half, standing at 1.1%. And that if we talk about the accumulated of the year. In April the company’s fall has been 52.6%. The first year of each quarter in Tesla is always complicated, so in April 2023 he added a market share of 1.3% but, this time, up to 0.6% has been reduced. An April to forget. The data is even more worrying if we look with magnifying glass the April data. The Tesla Model and, the one that was its great superventas, has only managed to be the ninth best -selling electric car in Europe with a 53% drop compared to last year, According to Jato Dynamics. To find those of Tesla Model 3 you have to dive to the twenty position. In this case, the fall is 42%. If we attend to the data by brands in April, the situation is even more complicated because we must look in the eleventh place to find the company of Elon Musk. To this we must add that the company depends exclusively on two models to the point that the Tesla Model S and Model and have sold less than 100 units last April. A sorpasso. For the first time in what we have been placed among the 10 companies that sells more electric cars. He does it at a key moment. The month of April has reported more sales than Tesla and its growth compared to the same month of 2023 is 169%. The appearance of ByD is no accident. Little by little it has been adding more and more cars to its electric fleet and, above all, a hole in Europe has been becoming. But there is something else, none of its cars is among the 25 best -selling models of the month that reflects its strength to diversify market and aim for many different types of audiences. Byd’s advantage over its competitors is that most have a flag model that adds most of their sales. He Renault 5 He added 5,662 of the 10,328 total electric units that he put on the market. He KIA EV3 accumulated 5,680 sales of the 9,101 units sold in April. He Skoda Elorq He added 7,998 units of 13,598 Czech brand registration. The great winner. Without any doubt, Volkswagen. With 107,153 units sold in April, the German company has led the month in Europe and with 410,141 units sold in what we have been for the year, it is the only brand that has exceeded 400,000 units … and also 300,000. Toyota, its great rival worldwide, is the second manufacturer that has sold the most cars until April and registered 287,521 units. But, above all, it is the electric plane what best reports to Volkswagen. Their Volkswagen ID.3, ID.7 and ID.4 They occupy, in this order, the second, third and fourth position of best -selling electric cars last April. Especially relevant is the growth of 34% that adds the Volkswagen ID.3a car that has cost a lot to start starting and has been in the market since 2020. And it’s not just that. Leading. If we attend to the sales of the Volkswagen Group, April was accompanied by excellent news for the company. The Skoda Elroq was the best -selling electric car and the Enyaq He slipped as the last of that honor list of the 10 best -selling electric cars on the continent. In sum, Skoda was placed in third position among the manufacturers that sell the most electric cars. And we must add that Audi has also accompanied. It was the fourth manufacturer that sold more electric cars last April. Only the Volkswagen Group has cast three companies between the four that sold more electric cars and half of the 10 best -selling electric cars if we serve the specific models.

make shareholders join with him

As part of its compensation and incentive To improve your managementthe CEO of the big companies usually receive Bonds by objectives. Elon Musk has had to pass several times By courts to collect His Milmillonario Bono of Tesla after far exceeding all the objectives that the shareholders put in 2018. Michael O’Leary, CEO of Ryanair is about to achieve his of 100 million euros that Ryanair promised him. The Ryanair CEO justified its compensation compared to other high -performance industries: “I think we are providing a remarkable value for Ryanair’s shareholders at a time when the Premier League soccer players and trainers earn between 20 and 25 million euros per year,” published The British The Telegraph. The announcement of this achievement by the CEO occurs just when the company He faces a labor conflict with part of the template to which claims the return from your salary. A millionaire dividend According to collected BloombergO’Leary’s bonus was agreed in 2019 and extended after the renewal of his contract in 2022 for five and a half years. However, the collection of this bonus is not automatic. O’Leary can only access 100 million euros if Ryanair’s shares remain above the 21 euros for at least 28 days consecutive natural. According to data of The Telegraph and Expansionthe actions of the airline have been maintained above that threshold since last May 2, thus accumulating 27 days in a row above the limit, so the objective could already be reached. This condition had never been fulfilled for so long, since the previous contribution record was only five days in March 2024. O’Leary has been prudent about the imminence of payment, pointing out that “many things can happen until the objective is completed.” However, rather than not achieving the objective of contributions from his shares, the manager is cautious because the payment of the bonus It will not be effective until 2028and only if the CEO continues to lead the company until that date, according to the terms of its contract. O’Leary’s key: repurchase actions The good behavior of the company’s actions has occurred even though Ryanair record A decrease of 16% for its annual benefit with respect to the results of the previous year, reaching 1,610 million euros. This result is partly due to a cunning operation of shares repurchase worth 750 million euros that the company raised in mid -2024. That repurchase has reinforced the value of the shares making it a more profitable asset for its shareholders. According The information of ForbesMichael O’Leary’s personal fortune is estimated at some 1.1 billion dollars. That heritage places it as one of the richest people in Ireland and is characterized by having an extravagant character and not hesitating to apply measures that walk to the edge of the razor in order to get yours. Something that also applies in airline policies.

Health has just confirmed that the new tobacco law goes after the terraces. And it is not the only environment that wants smokeless

Terrazas, Marquesinas, University Campus, Teaching Centers, Sports Facilities and Labor Vehicles will be some of the new environments where smoking will be prohibited. At least that’s what the Ministry of Health seeks, that is working to reform the current anti -tabaco legislation, with the objective of “protecting public health and” denormalizing tobacco consumption in shared spaces. ”The plan is part of a broader strategy that seeks to reduce the impact of smoking, a threat that, according to Minister Mónica García, causes 30 % of cancers. A commitment that had been paused for years. The measure is not new, but so far it had not left the drawer. In 2021 a draft had already been written With proposals in this line, also including an increase in tobacco taxes and a stricter regulation of vapeo.
