Argentina wants to get rid of parents who do not pay their children’s pensions. So he kicked them out of the football stadiums

by

To enjoy a soccer match in an Argentine stadium it will no longer be enough to have a ticket. From now on, fans must comply another extra requirementequally or even more important: being up to date with your children’s pensions. In an attempt to hit where it hurts most, the football heart of the nation that gave birth to Maradona, Messi or Di Estéfano, the authorities have activated a system that prohibits access to the fields to parents who ignore the costs of feeding their children. The Government has 13,000 people in its sights, defaulters whom it just got complicated for them also the USA World Cup. “They don’t enter the fields anymore”. The phrase is from Alejandra Monteoliva, Minister of National Security, who recently announced, via Xthe decision to close the stadium doors to those who are not up to date with their pensions. “Delinquent food debtors no longer enter the fields. Starting today, together with the Government of the City of Buenos Aires, we incorporate debtors into the Safe Tribune program. And they will no longer be able to go in to watch a soccer game,” explains Monteoliva before underlining the basic idea: “He who does not comply with his children, off the courts.” Is it something new? Yes. And no. ‘Safe Tribunes’ It is not a new program. Carry years applying in Argentina and its objective is to reinforce access control to sports events, although until now the focus has been focused mainly on violent fans, accused, convicted or with arrest warrants. It is basically dedicated to checking the documentation of those who go to the camps to check their history or even if they are carrying drugs or knives. For a while now some jurisdictions of the country, as Buenos Airesalso decided to veto sporting events for those who do not comply with the alimony of their minor children. As a reference, the Buenos Aires authorities they assure that since March 2025, 173 controls have been carried out that have made it possible to identify 150 “delinquent food debtors”, fans who were prevented from accessing stadiums or concerts. “So far in 2026 alone, 84 have already been carried out with 75 offenders.” What’s new then? That Argentina has decided to go one step further, combining and reinforcing both initiatives: ‘Safe Grandstands’ and restrictions on access to stadiums for parents with debts. For this, the Ministry of National Security and the Government of the Autonomous City of Buenos Años have signed an agreement that “marks a qualitative leap” in field controls throughout the country. The key is in the exchange of information, which will allow thousands of new names to be included in the ‘Safe Tribune’ red list. To be more exact, we talk about 13,000 people, “delinquent obligors” registered in Buenos Aires and 13 other provinces spread across the country, such as Chaco, Entre Ríos, Formosa, Tierra de Fuego, Santa Cruz or Tucumán. From now on all of them will have a difficult time when they want to watch games in the stadiums, at least as long as they do not catch up with the food pensions they owe. Click on the image to go to the tweet. “Consequences”. Alejandra Monteoliva has not been the only one to insist on the advantages of the system. Something similar has been done, too. via Xthe head of Government of the Autonomous City of Buenos Aires, Jorge Macri: “In the city a year ago we prohibited the entry of food debtors to stadiums and mass shows. Now, in joint work with the Government, we added our database to the Safe Tribune program to reinforce these controls throughout the country. Anyone who does not comply with an obligation as basic as feeding their children must have consequences.” Where it hurts the most. In his message, dated May 26, Macri left bouncing another fundamental idea: access controls with the debtor registry in hand will not only be done in the country’s stadiums; The idea is that they will also be applied during the World Cup. Milei’s team has sent a list to the US with more than 30,000 Argentine fans who have restricted access to the World Cup stadiums, which will start in a week in Mexico. And these include, confirms Monteolivathe 13,000 delinquent parents. It is not just another announcement or a declaration of intent. The new restrictions in Argentine stadiums have become official already in the Official Gazette and the Executive has also published a resolution (444/2026) announcing the sending to the US Embassy of information on people with restrictions to access sporting events. The measure is adopted based on the cooperation agreements signed between both Governments and its list would include the “alimony debtors”. Some sources they assure that the veto will extend to Canada and Mexico, the other hosts of the FIFA Cup. Is the problem so serious? In case the 13,000 registered in the system do not give a clue, in 2024 Unicef ​​provided another even more emphatic one: that year it published a report in which it warned that 56% of mothers living in Argentina do not receive child support when the father does not reside in the home, a percentage that rises to 68% if we include mothers who do not receive it regularly. Field access restrictions will only apply when there is a judicial or administrative resolution that demonstrates non-payment and the affected person appears in the official registry of defaulters.

He showered them with 500 million dollars

by

Larry Ellison He is known for being a co-founder of Oracle, a close consultant on AI in the Council of Advisors on Science and Technology of Donald Trump’s second term and the second largest fortune in the world, according to the list of millionaires of Forbes. The millionaire invested hundreds of millions of dollars in a technological agriculture project on Lanai, his private island in Hawaii, as published The Wall Street Journal. His idea was to revolutionize the way they produce food through an innovative and sustainable approach, combining advanced technology with methods of modern hydroponic farming. To carry out the project, Ellison created the company Sensei Ag, which promised to develop an innovative vegetable growing model that would multiply the food production in the future. However, this ambitious plan has not developed as Ellison expected and has become another example of the technological challenges that agriculture faces. Lanai, Ellison’s Paradise In 2012, Larry Ellison bought 98% of the island of Lanai, in Hawaii, for just under 300 million dollars. Their intention, in addition to turning it into their vacation retreat, was to transform it into a sustainability laboratory. One of its key projects was the development of vertical farming by Sensei Ag, which aimed to produce fresh and healthy food using less land area and natural resources. According to WSJEllison allocated an initial investment of 500 million dollars with the objective of building six greenhouses equipped with high technology and design a smart irrigation system that optimize water use. “Greenhouse structures were optimized for tulips in Holland in the 17th century and have not undergone major improvements since then,” said David Agus, a friend of Ellison and one of the founders of Sensei Ag. Sensei Ag built greenhouses and equipped them with advanced sensors, artificial intelligence and climate control systems. These greenhouses had to ensure the conditions conducive to producing fruits, vegetables and other high-quality foods, reducing the environmental impact. Furthermore, the Oracle founder planned to use renewable energy to power these facilities to create a complete sustainable model, so that it could be deployed in other parts of the world. The island did not make it easy for them. If something can fail, it will fail In the 1920s, Lanai became a huge estate dedicated to pineapple cultivationto the point of producing 75% of the world’s supply of this fruit. This intensive cultivation and chemical agents used To accelerate ripening, they wreaked havoc on the fields, which reduced the productivity of the island’s soil. The island’s climate also posed problems as the Israeli engineers who built the greenhouses did not take into account either the island’s humidity or its gusts of wind. Therefore, the coverage of 12 million dollars from the greenhouses flew through the airshooting up the repair cost to $50 million. Elon Musk, a personal friend of Larry Ellison, was in charge of provide solar panels that would feed greenhouse technology. However, again the strong winds They constantly dirty the panels that were left unusable. As pointed out in the article The Wall Street Journalon many occasions they had to obtain electricity by connecting diesel generators. In addition to failing roofs, solar, and land, Sensei Ag employees had to deal with an unexpected problem: Wifi coverage failures. It may seem like a lesser evil, but in a high-tech greenhouse where there are hundreds of sensors that regulate light, temperature, humidity or ventilation, having Wi-Fi makes the difference between a successful harvest or a failure. 500 million dollars worth of cherry tomatoes Although the Sensei Ag plans were very ambitious, the project faced the same profitability dilemmas that farmers suffer in any corner of the planet. “The vision was very big, but then it slowly became diluted as we faced the realities of implementation on Lanai,” said En Young, former general manager of the Lanai facility. The operating costs of advanced facilities and the maintenance of the greenhouses were too high compared to the income generated from the sale of food. And Sensei became the largest producer of different types of lettuce and cherry tomato from Hawaii. Its founding goal of “feeding the world” has been an absolute failure. Now, the project will focus on the development of agricultural management software, using its greenhouses as a testing laboratory, with the aim of selling the necessary software and hardware in the form of a package that other farms can franchise. In addition, it has begun operations in southern California to implement robotic cultivation systems to automate the care of the plantations, and acquired 11 hectares south of Austin (Texas) and the former headquarters of the robotic farming company Iron Ox. The investment amounts to 40 million dollars with which it intends to expand its market beyond Hawaii. For Lanai, the partial closure of the Sensei Ag project raised questions about Ellison’s long-term plans for the island. Some residents criticized that their agricultural resources were used for technological experiments rather than to help the island’s supply of provisions, which must import between 80% and 90% of the products it consumes.

It is charged by the sun and costs less than 100,000 pesos

Mexico has just joined in this affordable electric mobility. And the company TT Automotive presented the TT01 a few days agoalso named “Totally Tlaxcalteca”, a small electric and solar vehicle manufactured almost entirely in the state of Tlaxcala. The meeting was at Hacienda Soltepec, in the municipality of Huamantla, where businessmen, state and federal authorities, and representatives of the automobile sector attended. It is the pride of the region, since the project boasts that around 80% of its components are of national origin. We tell you everything in detail. Why is it important. The TT01 is proposed as one of the cheapest electric cars that can be found today in Mexico. According to the brand, its price part of the 99,000 pesos (about 5,000 euros to change) and goes up to 160,000 pesos in its most equipped versions. That entry figure places it even below Oliniathe electric car project promoted by the federal government of Claudia Sheinbaum, which has not yet reached the market. So basically the company has preempted the state initiative. Simple and without airbags. The TT01 stands out from the rest of the urban electric cars in that it uses a charging system using solar panels integrated into the roof. According to their creator, Edgar Guzmán Carreto, founder of TT Automotive, these panels generate up to 50 kilometers of autonomy after eight hours of exposure to the sun. The car can also be plugged into any conventional household outlet. The company talks about a total autonomy of up to 250 kilometers per charge, a maximum speed of 50 km/h (little, but designed especially for the city and short trips), capacity for five passengers and a body with a high-strength steel structure. The Herald of Mexico itself says that this first model incorporates very very basic security measures. And because it doesn’t have, it doesn’t even have airbags. Between the lines. In the presentation, Guzmán Carreto counted that TT Automotive was born “not only as a company, but as a declaration of principles”, with the idea of ​​putting technology at the service of people. The approach is to have a cheap car ready, manufactured locally and aimed at families, delivery people and neighborhood transportation. The assembly is carried out in the Xiloxoxtla Industrial Park, which, according to those responsible, should generate employment and strengthen the supplier chain in the area. Pay attention to the nuances. The TT01 that was shown in Huamantla is still a prototype, and there are details that deserve our attention. On the one hand, the vehicle can also be recharged with gasoline in the event of possible unforeseen events. On the other hand, the company itself recognizes that it is still looking for investors to be able to manufacture on a large scale. Guzmán Carreto estimates that in about six months they would be able to produce in series, with an initial goal of 20 units per week and first sales through its website. It is worth remembering the history of delays of the project, since it was first announced in September 2025 with the promise of going on sale in December of the same year, and in the end it was postponed until it was officially presented a few days ago. And now what. The company also works in other variants with greater speed and pricewith versions for personal, family and distribution use, according to pv magazine. Now we need to know if TT Automotive meets the deadlines, since if so it would be ahead of Olinia’s proposal. It remains to be seen whether this type of vehicle, so special and with very basic security systems, will arouse interest in the region.

everything for a giant battery

The energy transition has accustomed us to focusing on what is most visible: solar panels on roofs, wind turbines on mountains, renewable parks spread across the territory. But a decisive part of the electric future is not only in producing more, but in better managing what we already produce. It is not enough to generate more clean energy if we are not able to store it when there is excess and return it when it is needed. That is the logic behind the project being built in Laufenburg, Switzerland: an underground battery designed to store electricity on a large scale and help stabilize the grid. The project. FlexBase, the Swiss group behind the project, is building that facility in Laufenburgin the canton of Aargau, next to the German border and on a site that plans to connect to the national high-voltage grid. The group is digging a 27-metre-deep pit, longer than two football fields, to house the storage system underground. The battery will be part of the future Laufenburg Technology Centera 20,000 square meter complex with computing infrastructure, offices and laboratories. A grid-scale battery. The Laufenburg project has been defined with a planned capacity of 1.5 GWh of storage after the choice of Invinity Energy Systems as technology partner. The comparison helps ground the figure: this would be equivalent to storing enough electricity to supply about 200,000 average homes in the United Kingdom for one day. In subsequent phases, the installation could grow to 2.1 GWh, if FlexBase moves forward with this expansion. How this technology works. The easiest way to understand a redox flow battery is to forget about a mobile phone battery for a moment. In a lithium-ion battery, the energy is stored within a fairly compact structure. In a redox flow battery, however, the energy is in liquid electrolytes stored in large tanks. When the system has to deliver electricity, these liquids are pumped into stacks of cells, where the reaction occurs that converts that chemical energy into electricity useful for the grid. The tanks are, to put it graphically, the place where the energy is stored. The cells are the part that allows it to be removed and used. The Swiss system will be recharged with renewable surpluses, mainly solar and wind. But no one talks about AI? Maybe you were missing a word that lately appears in almost any technological conversation: artificial intelligence. And yes, it’s here too. Not because the battery will “work with AI” but because the Laufenburg complex will include an artificial intelligence-oriented data center that will operate within the Laufenburg Technology Centre. The storage system is designed to smooth out the variable electrical demand associated with this computing and, at the same time, offer stabilization services to the network. Partner enters the scene. FlexBase will not develop the technological part of the battery alone. As we say, the Swiss company has selected Invinity Energy Systems as a strategic partner to design and deliver the Laufenburg vanadium flow system. According to FlexBase, the British-Canadian company won the selection process for its entire technical proposal. The main argument is a combination of lifetime costs, safety, non-flammability, cycle stability and modularity. Now the project enters the engineering phase, where the teams will have to adjust the control software and the electrical connection with the existing network. The next step. Swissgrid wants to connect the national high-voltage grid to the Laufenburg site, in what would be the first connection of its kind in Switzerland. For the operator, large batteries can become a relevant piece of the future of the network because they allow electricity to be moved over time: absorbing it when it is abundant and delivering it when it is needed. It is not a battery for everything. The very logic of a redox flow battery helps to understand its limits: if you need large tanks to store energy, it will hardly be the best option when space and weight rule. Its lower energy density makes it less suitable for applications such as electric vehicles. It should also be noted that vanadium flow batteries remain at an earlier commercial stage and are usually more expensive than lithium-ion ones. Its promise is not to replace all batteries, but to fill a very specific niche: stationary, durable and long-lasting storage. The calendar, for now, looks to 2029. FlexBase plans to launch the facility that year and expects to generate around 300 jobs linked to the future Laufenburg Technology Centre. The company presents the project as a privately financed initiative, with an estimated investment between 1,000 and 5,000 million Swiss francs (between 1,090 and 5,450 million euros). If the deadlines are met, Laufenburg will not only house a huge underground battery: it will also become one of Europe’s most ambitious bets to store electricity where the grid begins to need it.

a 4.5 billion bridge over the Panama Canal

by

Panama-David. That is the name of the most important railway project in the Central American country. A 450 kilometer long route that aims to connect the country by train, crossing its width at speeds of up to 180 km/h. A route that also includes routes for the transfer of goods and that has a critical step over the most famous canal in the country. And to verify that everything is going correctly, Panama has trusted Renfe. Panama-David. It is “the flagship project” of the Panamanian Government. So, in fact, It is how the state website itself defines to the Panama-David railway line. The project aims to connect the entire country by crossing its width with a high-speed train line that can travel at 180 km/h. This railway line, which will employ more than 50,000 Panamanians, according to official information, will have 14 stations and the capacity to transport goods on rails at a maximum of 100 km/h. The plans included starting the works this year and, for this, Renfe will be key. The approval. And Renfe will be in charge of approving the technical reports that have already been developed by AECOM (Architecture, Engineering, Construction, Operations and Management), the American company to which Panama commissioned the evaluation of the project in 2024. Now Renfe will have to certify that the project, according to the bases designed by this company, are viable. The feasibility of the planned train stations and workshops will be studied, among other aspects, but it is a bridge that is really worrying. A bridge that will cross the Panama Canal. The Bridge. At one end of the line, the fifth bridge over the Panama Canal has been planned. This bridge will be in charge of carrying the line to the border with Costa Rica, where the project ends. It is estimated that building this new step would cost about 4.5 billion dollars. From the little that is known, it has been published that the bridge would be parallel to the Centennial Bridgethe second to be built in this enclave and which was designed to relieve traffic from the Bridge of the Americas, the first to be built over the Canal. Why Renfe? They explain in the local newspaper The Press that the Panamanian Government has chosen Renfe because of the prestige that the company has when evaluating technical railway projects. The assignment falls on Renfe International Projectsthe division of the company that is responsible for offering service or advice outside our borders. In Panama they highlight that Renfe will be key to understanding if the preliminary report is viable and if the bridge can be built as planned. The company will also analyze future expansion possibilities and technical concepts such as work to be carried out underwater or evacuation routes. All of this will allow, according to the National Railway Society (SNF) of Panama, “to reduce technical and operational risks, and strengthen informed decision-making to guarantee the viability, efficiency and sustainability of the railway project.” another assignment. As we said, Renfe International Projects is the company in charge of carrying out railway work outside our borders. Last year it had a turnover of 20 million euros (the Panamanian project will bring in more than 300,000 dollars, according to local media) and its star project is the AVE to Mecca. In addition, the company is also interested in operating on the French high speed and look for your place in Italy but it is also present in Latvia, Estonia and the Czech Republic.

“When making a will it is wise to leave specific assets to each child and the home to only one”

by

There are few situations so capable to break up a family as the distribution of an inheritance. Lawyers know it. Notaries know it. And those involved also know it, sometimes too late, and the always wise proverb already warned: “You know your brothers when there is an inheritance.” They were warned. According to published data by The Newspaperinheritance is main source of legal conflict for 77% of Spaniards. Every year, tens of thousands of families have to decide what to do with an apartment inherited between several siblings, and of course, there are differences of opinion and from them the spark of discord is born. According to the latest data From the INE of March 2026, 47,474 homes transmitted by inheritance have been registered in Spain. Many of them do so under the ownership of several heirs. Trends collected that the distribution of these indivisible assets is the main focus of conflicts between heirs, for this reason, lawyers, notaries and jurists recommend leave the home to a single heir and compensate the rest to avoid co-ownership. You inherit a floor and a problem When two or more siblings inherit a home in equal shares, what the law calls community of property, or condominium. In theory, all They have the same rights about the good. In practice, no one can do anything without the others agreeing. One proposes to sell, another wants to rent and a third I would like to stay and live there. Since no decision can be made without unanimity of the owners, the most frequent result is a complete blockage. The floor is frozen and the relationship between siblings, deteriorated. In an interview for InfobaeAntonio Martínez, founding partner of the Martínez Lafuente Abogados law firmpoints out without hesitation: “when making a will it is wise to leave specific assets to each child and leave the home to only one,” ensuring that sharing property ends up being “a source of problems between the family, unless there is a very close relationship between the siblings.” The most delicate scenario is when one of the heirs already lived in the property or moves in after death. The situation becomes what Martínez calls the “squatter heir”: someone who occupies the good without compensating the rest and who is very difficult to throw out without going to court. What lawyers and notaries propose: assign, not share Instead of making an “equal” distribution among the heirs leading them to become co-owners of the same property, lawyers and notaries agree that the best way to avoid these conflicts is to make use of current legislation, and assign each asset to a specific heir compensating the rest with other goods or money until the value equals reduces the risk of conflict in the resolution of inheritances. The most typical case in Spain is that of an estate made up of an apartment, money in the bank and some land in the town. With two children as heirs, the most practical thing is not to distribute everything 50/50 as one might think, but for one to keep 100% of the home and the other to be compensated with the money and the land, as long as the values ​​are equivalent. Spanish legislation establishes that the distribution is equitablenot that all heirs must be co-owners of all assets. The notary María Cristina Clemente Buendía points out in one of his posts on social networks that this option, the most practical and the least knownalso has a tax advantage: it saves the heirs a subsequent condominium extinction deed so that they can decide who ultimately gets the property, with the corresponding property transfer tax that is generated. And there is another common fear that the notary also clarifies: that monetary compensation between siblings generates additional taxes. a sentence of the TSJ of Madrid of September 2024 made it clear that this economic compensation, intended for offset excess value between the property that one of the heirs was going to receive and the distribution that the rest was going to receive, does not imply an increase in the settlement of inheritance tax. The consensus among professionals in the sector about the convenience of this type of inheritance distribution is broad. Lawyers like Martínez, notaries like Clemente and specialized jurists like David Jiménez agree on the same premise: allocate specific assets to each heir to prevent them from having to share properties they don’t want to share. What does the law say when the conflict has already arrived? The will already exists, the assets are distributed equally and the brothers cannot agree. What options remain? The first is to negotiate. It seems obvious, but many times it does not happen because each party hopes that the other will give in. If dialogue does not work, the Civil Code offers the condominium extinction (articles 400 and 1,062) because no heir is obliged to remain undivided indefinitely. In this way, as David Jimenez explained in one of his videos“one is awarded 100% and financially compensates the other.” The tax advantage of this 100% award is important since, while a conventional sale would be taxed between 6% and 10%, documented legal acts are around 0.5% and 1.5%. according to the autonomous community. Furthermore, as Jiménez points out, “there is no need to pay municipal capital gains when the condominium is terminated, unless there is an excess of allocation.” If the negotiation becomes entrenched, there is figure of the counter-splitter: a lawyer or notary who resolves the distribution objectively and with a binding nature. The judicial route is the last resort, and the most expensive. In a judicial auction, Martínez warns, “the valuation of the property will always be much lower than the market value.” Everyone loses something, but the conflict is unlocked.

In two days the international blockbuster that has restored the luster to the erotic thriller genre arrives on Prime Video

by

In December 2025, Lionsgate released a psychological thriller based on a self-published novel that had gone viral on TikTok. Paul Feig, known until then for comedies such as ‘My Best Friend’s Wedding’ or ‘Spies’, was in charge of directing it, and the film, starring Sydney Sweeney and Amanda Seyfried, ended up being the biggest box office success for both actresses, the director, and one of the most profitable thrillers in recent years. It is about ‘The assistant’which this Friday the 5th comes to streaming from the hand of Prime Video. In it we will meet Millie (Sydney Sweeney), on parole for involuntary manslaughter, who accepts a job as a live-in maid for a wealthy family. And little else can be said without ruining the experience, because Millie soon begins to detect strange behavior in her boss (Amanda Seyfried) and that the relationship between her employers is not what it seems, in a trotted return to the erotic thriller of the nineties that actually plays as much at being a fast-paced pocket book full of twists and humor as it is an intuitive piece of post-feminist pulp. The film works as a box of surprises where Sweeney and Seyfried shine with two interpretations that seem to have been raised differently: The first is more B-series, the other is more melodramatic. It is this clash of registers that gives a self-conscious and unpredictable touch to the film, and also what makes the genre mixer work at full capacity: serious psychological thriller at the beginning, revenge fantasy later (also changing, for the better, the final stretch of the original novel). ‘The Housemaid’ opened in third place at the US box office with $18.9 million, behind a colossus like ‘Avatar: Fire and Ash’ and the animated film ‘David’. It was not a spectacular exit, but its secret was that word of mouth worked and it did not fall: it barely fell from its privileged position for weeks, and it performed very well at the international box office. The final gross was $401.7 million worldwide, against a production budget of $35 million. It is not surprising that the sequel is already in the works.

“Investing in the development of full electric cars would be an expensive hobby”

by

something like It happened to Luca Cordero di Montezemolo It has happened to Stephan Winkelmann, CEO of Lamborghini. He did not want to say but he said when asked about the new Ferrari Luce and all the controversy that has surrounded the Italian company’s first all-electric launch. And Lamborghini, unlike those from Maranello, canceled its all-electric project a long time ago. And both positions have their reason for being. “The right way”. It is the one they have taken at Lamborghini, according to Stephan Winkelmann. Those three words are part of the answers he has given to CNBC in relation to the new Ferrari Luce. Although Winkelmann assures that “each brand, each company has to decide for itself,” he has not hesitated to defend his position. And the head of Lamborghini considers that canceling its first fully electric car has been “the right path.” According to their internal reports, they claim that interest in a completely electric car from Lamborghini had slowed down and that is why they decided to stay with plug-in hybridization. “An expensive hobby”. This is how resounding Winkelmann himself was a few months ago when he confirmed that the project for Lamborghini’s first electric car had been cancelled: Investing heavily in the development of full electric vehicles when the market and customer base are not ready would be an expensive and financially irresponsible hobby towards shareholders, customers and towards our employees and their families. The words were collected by media such as Motorpassion and they emphasize the purchase intentions of Lamborghini customers, who They still prefer the company’s V8 and V12 engines. The company, however, has used its research on the electric car to carry out the Lamborghini Revueltoits first plug-in hybrid. Because?. As we told you during our introduction to the Lamborghini Revueltothe company was always very clear that electricity had to be a means to increase the sensations on board and improve dynamics, not aiming for a more language ecofriendly. This decision, like that of canceling its first electric car, has its own internal logic within a company like Lamborghini, which clearly opts for hypermuscular and hypermasculine cars where sportiness is almost its only reason for being. The only concession they have made is the Lamborghini Urus and its creation falls within the Volkswagen Group’s logic of cost utilization. a lot of sense. If the approach proposed by Lamborghini was that of an electric supercar, the truth is that there does not seem to be a market for this type of car. Mate Rimac, CEO of Rimac and creator of, perhaps, the sportiest electric car in the world, complained that political pressures to jump to electric cars They were precisely slowing down the potential sales of their electric cars. Beyond the fact that the customer may miss the sound of a V12 engine and the feel of a gearbox, the truth is that if the average driver is forced to skip the electric car, driving a combustion supercar will be even more elitist. It is very likely that more electric supercars will arrive but right now the context is against them. The public for this type of car seems to be revolting against the regulations that, supposedly, force them to jump to electric cars. By pure physics, the electric car needs to be much heavier than a combustion car right now. And finally, obviously lacks that sensory part which can only be associated with the sound and smell of a combustion engine. And the Ferrari Luce? It is logical that Lamborghini defends its position and claims that its customers are not looking for an electric car, but the public profile is different between Lamborghini and Ferrari. Or, what is certain, Ferrari is trying to catch a different audience. The Ferrari Luce is not an electric supercar, it is not an aggressive and aerodynamic sculpture on wheels as has been the norm in its history. It is a car designed to send the message that whoever has it is up to date and embraces innovation and groundbreaking products. Since we saw the interior of the car it is something that seems more than evident. The fact that the car was shown in a light blue color and without a trace of moving videos underlines that we are looking at the launch of a car as a fashion accessory for walking comfortably through the center of any city without the discomforts typical of a supercar. Click on the image to go to the original tweet A little pull. Although Stephan Winkelmann says he does not mean to say, the truth is that he says a lot with his response. Despite not wanting to get into controversy, his defense that Lamborghini customers do not opt ​​for this type of car is a way to distinguish the two types of customers. A reaffirmation of Lamborghini’s identity. It adds up Lamborghini’s social media post coinciding with the launch of the Luce, which reads “proud to keep you dreaming” or “proud to keep your dreams” and four attached images of a Lamborghini Revuelto in a tone of blue very similar to that used by Ferrari for the presentation of its Luce.

We were already using fire 800,000 years earlier than we thought

by

He dominion of fire isWithout a doubt, the greatest turning point in the technological and evolutionary history of our lineage. It gave us warmth, it scared away predators and, by allowing us to cook food, it triggered the development of our brains and also our own lives. Until now, the scientific consensus placed the strongest evidence of its early use at around one million years, although this is no longer the case. A new study. a new study published in PLOS ONE takes us to Wonderwerk Cave, in the northern Cape province of South Africa. This site was already “old acquaintance” for paleoanthropologists, since in 2012 a team demonstrated the existence of fire on site in layer 10 of the cave, dated to approximately one million years. And this is important because from here the consensus was created about when humans discovered fire. But the story didn’t end there. The new study has descended one more step in time, specifically to layer 11 of the same cave and there they have found burned bones with an age that ranges between 1.07 and 1.79 million years. And it is vital. The location of the remains is vital, since they were found 30 meters deep inside the cavern. This completely rules out that the fire marks are the product of a random forest fire or a lightning strike, but rather that someone had to carry those flames there after learning to control the fire. A new debate. The evidence that suggests that our past knew how to make fire is much later, since in sites such as Gesher Benot Ya’aqov In Israel, total control of technology is already shown. What this new finding raises is whether these Homo erectus early people did not know how to light a fire from scratch. What is proposed is that instead they were “thieves” of nature, since they took advantage of natural fires caused by lightning or volcanoes, collected the embers and transported them inside the cave to keep them alive as long as possible. A technique that, although it seems simple, entails great cognitive and social complexity. The technology. If the fire in layer 11 had not been confirmed until now, it is because it is incredibly difficult to distinguish a bone burned almost two million years ago from a fossilized bone that has undergone chemical alterations. And it is no wonder, since with the passage of millennia, diagenetic processes such as fluoridation or the accumulation of manganese can darken the fossils, giving them a false appearance of having been carbonized. But now we have very important tools, such as luminescence techniques combined with Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, which allow us to reveal chemical secrets at the molecular level. A new paradigm. The experts who have given their opinion on this study through the Science Media Center Spain such as Joaquín Panera or researchers specialized in fire such as Aitor Burguet-Coca agree in describing the methodological protocol as “innovative”, highlighting that it opens the door to reevaluate huge collections of fossils in other sites, such as Koobi Fora in Kenya, where there are ambiguous signs of fire 1.5 million years ago.
