The choice of the first American Pope has nothing casual in it

by

Sinodal Church, blessing of gay marriages, sacraments for divorced, celibacy, deacons women … the first hours of the pontificate of Robert Francis Prevost (Now and for eternity, Leo XIV) have been marked by The debate The elucubrations on their ideological coordinates and to what extent it will advance or put the reverse in the measures promoted by Francisco I. Beyond religious issues, the new Pope has before him another cyclopean task of a much more mundane nature: to replace The huge financial mess in which the Vatican is plunged and in which The powerful church The US can play a key role. The task is not less if they are taken into account open wounds With the most conservative sector of the American Church during the Pontificate of Francisco I. In his favor, Leo XIV has an important factor: he knows the country well, its culture and its prelates. After all, he was born in The Bronzeville neighborhoodin Chicago Question of faith (and money). The Vatican is the heart of Catholic Christianity, but also a complex and prone economic challenge with which Francisco I had to deal during his 12 years of pontificate, just as he will have to do it from now on León XIV. Although the Roman Catholic Church handles a lavish portfolio of real estate, art and investments and the Vatican bank manages assets by value of value of value of billions of dollarsthe Holy See Receive income basically from Three sources: Donations, entries to museums and investments and the performance obtained with its property portfolio. The picture is complex, but usually all “Task lists” which must assume Leo XIV include two priorities: to advance in the improvement of the supervision and transparency of finance initiated by Francisco I and face the deficit of the Holy See. In An article entitled “The financial mess of the Vatican that Francisco could not solve”, Wall Street Journal (WSJ) slides two revealing data on an “more and more indebted microstate”: its budget deficit has grown with Bergoglio and Your pension fund supports A millionaire liabilities. Red numbers in Rome. The theme has been very present these weeks in Rome. And it is logical. In September Francisco sent A letter to their cardinals in which they asked them “greater effort” to “that the ‘zero deficit’ is not just a theoretical objective” and advocated the “cost reduction”. In another posterior letter Bergoglio went further and faced another fundamental issue, the delicate health of the Vatican pension box. All this between news of the Salary cut of the prelates or information that have come to place the Holy See “On the verge of bankruptcy”. Last summer the newspaper The repudica revealed That in 2023 the Vatican registered an operational deficit of 83 million euros, five more than the previous year, with a short -term perspective not especially flattering given the evolution of donations. As for the pension system hole, over the last months different data has been published, but they are not usually flattering: The Pilar Calculate that a decade ago its undefined liabilities amounted to almost 1.5 billion euros and Reuters talks about a deficit of 631 million In 2022. In search of donations. In addition to seeking greater transparency and supervision in finance, Francisco proposed Another challenge Before dying: achieve more donations. In fact, days before he entered the hospital, he ordered the creation of a “donation commission for the Holy See.” The movement is understandable. The income received by the Holy See through its museum network suffered a varapalo with the pandemic and in 2024, according to Reutersthe Vatican reported a profits of 45.9 million with their investments. The other crucial leg in the financial architecture of the Holy See are donations, which throughout the last decade have remained on average in the 45 million euros Annual, although some year that figure has come to exceed 70 million. His contribution to the Vatican coffers is fundamental. According to the data provided by the Vatican in 2023 the bottom of the San Pedro Obol It reached an income of 52 million euros, of which 48.4 correspond to offerings and the remaining 3.6 to financial income achieved with the remuneration of goods. Two data: 52 and 109.4. In The statement Shared by Vatican News, the information portal of the Holy See, it is underlined that compared to 2022 donations increased by almost five million euros, but that does not prevent the balance sheet from being bittersweet: the agency itself recognizes that the total expenses were much superior and amounted to 109.4 million euros. The data is interesting for several reasons. The first, because the background is dedicated to meet the needs of the Church and sustain initiatives. The second is because that deficit is not new and is added to the one already registered in previous exercises. In addition, although between 2022 and 2023 there was effectively an increase in donations, the obolus remains below the proceeds Just a decade ago. A crucial country: USA. The statement From the Vatican slides another important fact: most of these funds left diocese (31.2 million), well above the flow of private donors (2.1 million), foundations (13.9) or religious orders (1,2). What countries left the contributions? Because largely from the United States, from afar the greatest benefactor, with a contribution that in 2023 amounted to the 13.6 million euros28.1% of total income. Italy, secondly, contributed 3.1 million, and Brazil was the third with 1.9. Why that weight? Partly because the US is one of the countries with greater Catholic population from the world and its church has a strong financial muscle, which has conferred an influential role in the Church .. in September 2015, when Francisco had just two years of papacy, BBC I slipped now that the US parishes collected through Sunday donations about 8.5 billion euros per year. A good part of that money stays in the communities themselves, but still Jack Ruhl, professor at Western Michigan University, highlights the “important role” played … Read more

It will exempt some American chips from retaliation tariffs

by

On April 11, the Chinese government announced that it would apply some 125% tariffs to the products imported from the US. This measure was the expected response after the government led by Donald Trump gradually increased taxes About Chinese imports until reaching 145%. The commercial war had just entered its cruel phase, but shortly after, on April 14, the US decided to give a provisional respite to The technology industry. And it is that the Trump administration temporarily paralyzed tariffs linked to The import of semiconductorselectronic devices and some strategic components. Just a few hours ago the Xi Jinping government He has responded using the same US tone: exempting tariffs at least eight different categories of integrated circuits manufactured in the country governed by Donald Trump. Interestingly, memory chips are still in force. China has chosen to reduce tension and protect its supply chain The Chinese administration has taken approximately two weeks to approve this exemption from the moment it announced the implementation of the 125% tariffs to the products imported from the US, but has remedied it. Customs authorities have informed Chinese companies that tariffs that have paid between April 10 and 24 for semiconductors who are now exempt from taxes will be returned to them. The longevity of this measure will be linked to the decisions that the US government will make during the next weeks At the moment we do not know how long this measure will last, but in all likelihood its longevity will be linked to The decisions you will make during the next few weeks The US government. In fact, the latter has anticipated that within a period not exceeding two months will announce to which tariffs they will be subjected Imported chips. In any case, this decision has two very beneficial consequences for China. On the one hand it relieves the pressure on their own economy by allowing their companies to import without additional taxes some critical integrated circuits that at the moment do not produce the manufacturers of local semiconductors. In addition, at the current situation this strategy allows China to protect its own supply chain. If all the chips designed or manufactured in the US had a 125% tariff load the tension to which it would be subjected China’s supply chain would be hardly bearable. All probability this would trigger a critical chip shortage that would degrade the competitiveness of Chinese companies. This measure of the Xi Jinping government is clearly a tactical adjustment. It maintains the pressure on some chips from the US, but, at the same time, it avoids shortage in its internal market for essential integrated circuits.

TSMC will manufacture its best chips on American soil, although presumably they will be 30% more expensive

by

Taiwan’s silicon shield It has definitely fallen. The government of this island was determined to protect its economic interests preventing TSMC from manufacturing integrated circuits abroad using your most advanced lithography nodes. This plan entered into conflict with the expansionist strategy of the semiconductor manufacturer most important on the planetespecially at a juncture in which the US is forcing the displacement of chips manufacturers to their own territory. “Since Taiwan has regulations that seek to protect their own technologies, TSMC cannot produce 2 nm chips abroad today,” Jw Kuo saidMinister of Economic Affairs of Taiwan, on November 8 during a meeting of the Taipéi Economy Committee. “Although TSMC PLANS MANUFACTURE 2 NM CHIPS Abroad in the future, its central technology will remain in Taiwan. “ Kuo’s statements reflected at that time that TSMC could not produce integrated 2 Nm circuits in the US or Europe until it was ready its lithography A14 (1.4 Nm). From that moment the latter would remain in Taiwan and could move the production of 2 Nm chips to other countries. For TSMC this restriction was a problem. And it was because the demand for its most advanced integrated circuits is very high because of the undoubted success that semiconductors are having for applications of artificial intelligence (AI). Chips manufactured by TSMC in the US will be 30% more expensive, according to Walter Bloomberg Finally, the Taiwan government has moderated its protectionist strategy. Jw Kuo He pronounced again In the middle of last January to declare that TSMC may produce 2 Nm chips in its US plants, although the Taiwanese administration will cautiously evaluate the use of this technology in the country led by Donald Trump. “Private companies must make their own commercial decisions covered in their own technological progress (…) TSMC is building factories in the US with the purpose of serving their US clients because 60% of the world’s chips designer companies are based precisely in the US. “ Lisa su and CC Wei have taught the first EPYC ‘Venice’ chip produced in the N2 (2 nm) node of TSMC Today, just four months later, we can be sure that the manufacture of integrated 2 NM circuits on a large scale in the TSMC plants in Arizona (USA) will arrive. Lisa her, the general director of AMD, and CC Wei, the president and general director of TSMC, have taught the first Epyc Chip ‘Venice’ produced in node N2 (2 nm) of this last company. This CPU has been manufactured in Taiwan, but both managers They have confirmed their commitment When strengthening the production of the plants that TSMC is putting ready in Arizona. The first of these factories is about to produce large -scale chips, but its plan does not end here. The second plant will be operational in 2028 and will produce integrated circuits in N3 (3 Nm) and N2 (2 Nm) nodes. And finally, the third factory will not be listed at all until the end of this decade and will produce chips in the N2 (2 nm) node. At the current situation and under the pressure of the US government, which is Pertrechado with its tariff policyit is very likely that the production of 2 Nm semiconductors in Arizona arrives long before 2028. It is not official information, but in the current circumstances it is a very reasonable forecast. However, there is something else that is worth not overlooking. According to G. Dan HutchesonAnalyst in Techinsights, producing a 300 mm wafer in the new Arizona plant costs TSMC less than 10% more than manufacturing that same wafer in one of its Taiwan facilities. It is explained by something that we should not overlook: the cost derived from labor represents less than 2% of the total cost. However, according to the financial journalist Walter Bloomberg TSMC will increase the price of integrated circuits produced by 30% in the US to compensate for the costs triggered by tariffs on the production equipment of imported chips from Europe and Japan. The Government led by Donald Trump has not yet revealed how the import tariffs of photolithography machines used by TSMC, Intel or Samsung plants in the US will affect the import tariffs. Will do it within a period Not exceeding two months. But it seems that Bloomberg assumes that the increase in chips will arrive. We’ll see.

An American who wants to dedicate him to tourism

by

For years Castro Saltoa town in the municipality of Fonfría, west of Zamora, stood out above all for two reasons: its idyllic Natural environmentin full reserve of the Iberian plateau biosphereand above all his link with the neighbor of Castro. In fact the village It was created to welcome employees who work in the hydroelectric installation and was injured in death In the late 80s when he was automated and his presence there ceased to be indispensable. Now Salto de Castro is famous for something else: it has become one of the great symbols of The emptied Spain. After a complex recent story, marked by abandonment and its Departure and reentry In the real estate market, an entrepreneur claims to have bought it to dedicate it to tourism. The most curious thing is that the businessman is from the US, he barely speaks Spanish and never had Europe before. In a place of the line … Salto de Castro is part of the municipality of Fonfría, Zamora province, but is closer to Portugal than from the Zamora capital. Located next to the line this small town formed by 44 homeslodge, bar, pool, church, sports facilities and a barracks was driven In the mid -twentieth century by Iberduero To welcome the workers (and families) who worked in the Castro dam, located right next to each other. From Iberduero to Idealista. In 40 Salto de Castro welcomed the workers who raised the dam and during the following decades it worked as a hydroelectric town, just like others many distributed For Spain. TO late 80s That changed. His employees and the Civil Guard post were relocated and the town was touched, converted into A ghost town that attracted curious … and occasionally to some businessman who dreamed of taking advantage of his idyllic environment to turn him into A tourist complex. For a time the town was owned by a Galician society. Then, in 2022, He went to hands of the person responsible for a construction company of Toledo for 300,000 euros. Neither with one nor with the other came to take off. Shortly after idealist announced that the town was on sale for 580,000. Although then I know slid that there were interested buyers from Saudi and Miami, in the end Everything points that its owner has not left the Middle East or Florida, but from the west coast of the US. “I knew it was my future”. The last name to sneak into the history of Villa is that of Jason Lee Beckwitha Californian with a profile quite different from that of the previous owners of the town: Jason is from the US, he spent a large part of his professional life in a printing press, a business of Bed & Breakfast In your country and at least until recently He barely spoke Spanish nor had Europe stepped on. Neither one thing nor the other threw back in his last project: to become the owner of Salto de Castro. The reason? One day, while looking for options to continue with his hospitality vocation on the other side of the Atlantic, he learned that there was a town for sale right on the border between Spain and Portugal. “It was as if a switch was lit on my head”, He reported Recently to the EFE agency. His wife, Brazilian, did not seem too excited about the idea, but Jason had just decided when visiting the town in person. “I knew that this was my future,” he says. From plans to euros. Throughout the last months the name of Jason and his sudden love for Salto de Castro has starred news in means from all over the country, regional, state And even foreigners. In them the Californian has been renovating his plans for the town and has also given brushstrokes of something equally crucial: the economic part. In January Jason He confirmed the mayor of Fonfría that he had already made a first payment to “acquire the town to the former owners.” This same week, in one of his Last interviewsgranted to Efe, went further and slid that he would have already bought the town by about 310,000 euros. Of course, recovering the old buildings and carrying out the project you have in mind will cost you much more. Jason estimates that the total investment could stem the five million of euros. There is talk about eight million To restore the entire area. A project, a Crowdfunding. For now there is already active A campaign of microenazgo to his name in Gofundme with an ambitious objective: to raise $ 300,000. “With this first collection of funds it is intended to complete the acquisition of the village and the land that surround it, hire a specialist in subsidies and aid, complete the studies on the main systems of the village, prepare a precise general budget/calendar and start working in the church,” Point out The campaign. At the moment he has managed to gather 500 dollars with half a dozen contributions, even far from the 300,000 marked as a goal in Gofundme, where other sources of income are needed that consider their drivers to continue with the project, including subsidies and subsidies. A few days ago Jason Lee explained to The newspaper which is about to “complete the paperwork” to complete the transfer of the town, which could be closed “even several months earlier.” And what is in mind? Basically return to life Saltro, orienting it to tourism Without ruling out The possibility of rentals for long stays. In An interview granted in February Zamora’s opinionJason explained that he had in mind to offer different types of accommodation: “luxury villas”, “Boutique Apartments” and “A shelter with several bedrooms” for travelers with more tight budgets. Another market in which it aspires to fishing is that of the Digital nomads. “My goal is to open a hotel, shelter and there will also be short and long -term apartment rentals for those who want to change the … Read more

Right now there are 4500 North American students advised psychologically by a chatbot. It’s just the beginning

by

Right now, while I write this, there are about 4,500 North American students being “psychologically advised” Through an application Sonny called. It is nothing surprising. In the US, around 17% of secondary schools have no counselor or school psychologist. Most of them are in rural areas or in economically depressed zones and applications of this type bring psychosocial assistance to everyone. The problem is not that. The problem is that Sonny is An artificial intelligence chatbot. Is the chatbot? Let it be put. The idea is not new: in fact, it is one of the first ideas that comes to everyone worried about mental health. In the last 50 years We have concluded that psychotherapy is tremendously effective. For now we have not been able to climb it: that is the promise of the chatbots. Sonny’s example Help to understand it: Students have access to chatbot 18 hours a day (from 8:00 a.m. to 2:00 a.m.) and the “Solo” service costs each district between $ 20,000 and $ 30,000. Much less than a school advisor to use. It is true that it is not so effective that the counselor, but for many environments it is the best that can be allowed. And, in fact, according to some of its users explainbeyond its final therapeutic effectiveness, these types of approaches allow school to identify almost real problems among students. In Berryville (Arkansas), they discovered that more than half of the users sent messages just before exams and allowed them to develop emotional support interventions. Is this the future? A couple of years ago, Zara Abrams published an extensive analysis In the American Psychological Association, where it was concluded that “artificial intelligence chatbots (AI) can make therapy more accessible and less expensive.” Just what Sonny does. However, as also explained Abrams“Despite the potential of AI, there are still reasons to worry: the tools used in the health field have discriminated people depending on their race and disability status and there are malicious chatbots have widespread erroneous information, They have professed their love for users either They have sexually harassed minors“That is precisely what Sonny tries to avoid. How is it possible? In principle, as they explain from the company, Sonny has a team of people with “experience in psychology, social work and online support” that supervise and even rewrite the Bot responses. Each technician supervises between 15 and 25 chats at the same time. It is the form that has HEALTH mental soundthe company behind the app, to avoid the great original sin of the LLM: its tendency to delir, fantasize and give advice that may not be correct. In addition, the hybrid chatbot is designed to notify parents and teachers to the slightest possibility of danger (either for oneself or for others). Have you solved the problem? The truth is that we do not know (because there are no studies on it), but it is honestly unlikely that they have achieved it: we are in a very early phase as for trust that all associated problems are resolved. But it is a radical step. As Abrams said, It is possible that “psychologists and their abilities are irreplaceable”, but since the arrival of AI is inevitable we have to bet on a “reflexive and strategic implementation.” Something that, indeed, is very similar to saying anything. There is much that we still do not know and, therefore, making concrete predictions is dangerous. What is clear is that the question is not if we will have gpteraputas, we already have them. The question is how we can use them to Not worsening the attention that is being given today (a temptation always preset) and turn them into a key tool to reduce human suffering. Let’s hope to answer it soon. Image | Dream / Sigmund In Xataka | 50 years of research on depression psychotherapy leave a surprising fact: we have not improved anything

half billion dollars to invest in American soil

by

Apple has promised to invest 500,000 million dollars in the United States over the next four years, which lasts a legislature, in what seems like a maneuver to avoid Trump’s tariff threat. What has happened. Apple has announced This Monday an investment of 500,000 million dollars and the creation of 20,000 jobs in the United States over the next four years. The plan includes … A new AI servers factory in Houston, which will open in 2026. An industrial training center in Detroit. Why it is important. This investment represents the greatest financial commitment in Apple’s history and is a remarkable increase compared to previous ads: In 2021, during the Biden administration, Apple promised to invest 430,000 million in the US in five years. The press release that Apple published then is it still available. In 2018, during Trump’s first term, he promised to contribute 350,000 million to the US economy. The note too is it still available. The context. Apple manufactures most of its devices in China through Foxconn. The Trump government has just imposed 10% tariffs on all Chinese products this month, and threatens to extend them to other important commercial partners. TSMC, Taiwanese manufacturer, has already begun producing chips for Apple at its Arizona facilities, a project initiated during the Biden administration that received 6,600 million in federal subsidies. Between bambalins. The announcement comes just a few days after the meeting between Tim Cook and Donald Trump, who hinted last week that the company was changing its plans to avoid tariffs. “They don’t want to be in tariffs,” Trump saidsuggesting that Apple had canceled Construction projects in Mexico. Between the lines. Although Apple presents investment as a commitment to American innovation, UBS analysts cited by NBC They doubt that the company can really deploy such amount of money within the announced period, given its history and its dependence on foreign suppliers. Apple’s strategy to avoid tariffs follows the same pattern as during Trump’s first mandate: allow the president to attribute the merit of initiatives that were already underway or planned. Meanwhile, its large products as the iPhone continue to manufacture entirely outside the country. In Xataka | This is how Apple Intelligence works in Spanish.
