Testing Tiktok’s most viral anti -manners seemed like a good idea. Until I did

by

I am one of those people who, if there are twenty people with me and a single mosquito, will chop me. They worship me, what am I going to do? I actually try to do everything I can, because in addition to the standard itch, it makes me reaction and the bites are put ON FIRE. The Tiktok algorithm must know, because they often appear to me trick videos to prevent mosquitoes from picing you, All homemade, super simple and, according to their creators, infallible. Without too much faith, I chose the three that seemed more interesting and I prepared to try them. Everything is for science. Why mosquitoes bite us First of all a little science. The main reason why a mosquito chooses a dam to chop it is the blood group. It has been proven that people with type 0 blood have More lactic acid in the skin And this attracts mosquitoes more. But this is not the only factor, so is Carbon dioxide What do we emit. Mosquito females, which are the ones that bite, can smell the CO2 60 meters away. If our body temperature is also higher, for example by making an effort, we are the perfect target. Tiktok to the rescue During the summer, in my bag you can not miss the repellent spray, it is the only thing that works for me, but of course, it is not the most pleasant in the world because it smells very strong and leaves your skin as sticky. Over the years I have tried all kinds of things Like citronela candles, smoke spirals, repellent bracelets (luck if someone pretends not to pique a mosquito carrying one of these) and I have even planted citronela at home. Let’s see if Tiktok experts save me from this cross. Trick 1: Simple and with surprise He First trick I tried is the simplest. You just have to put half a liter of cleaning vinegar in a glass boat and add a lemon cut into slices. It smells a bit strong, but it doesn’t smell bad and it is quite decorative. I put it in the kitchen, which is where more flies and mosquitoes usually enter because the window is usually open and I waited. To my surprise, the best of all. A few days later I had my verdict in the form of three new bites. It does not seem to have a lot of the mosquitoes, but to my surprise it had an unexpected benefit: I barely saw flies. In the video they say that it is effective against flies and mosquitoes, but my perception is that, to work, it only works for the first. Nor does it look like a very durable method and after a few days it smelled. It would be necessary to renew it to maintain the effect. Trick 2: The spiritual In This video We receive a soft voice that promises that the trick will end with flies, mosquitoes, mosquitoes and cockroaches. A complete. The method consists of taking a glass bowl and putting coffee poses, half a cup of flavoring, clove and a wick of a candle. Must burn for an hour And our expert ensures that we will never see an insect again. Run, take the photo that goes out! In the explanation of the recipe I already began to lose faith because it does not even explain what that of the aromatizing is, so I had to skip that step. The truth is that I cannot say whether or not it is effective because I did not get the fuse to burn more than 1 minute in a row. I tried several wicks and nothing, when I arrived at the coffee he went out (and that was dry). From what I have read in the comments, the same thing happened to many more people. Of course, it smelled very well. Trick 3: The scientist He said that one of the reasons why mosquitoes are biting us is because of the CO2 that we emit and is precisely the basis of this trick. In the video it explains us How to build A carbon dioxide trap With water, sugar, yeast and a cut plastic bottle. The result is quite horrible from the decorative point of view, but it also smells weird. I gave him a vote of trust because it is the method that had the most scientific basis. A beautiful If I have to summarize the result in a word, it would undoubtedly fail. In the time I had the trap placed Not only did they chop me mosquitoes, it was not even one. In the comments of the video there are people who had similar results and also point something striking: at no time in the video teaches us the mosquitoes that have fallen into the trap (for whatever). I threw it three days. What does work and is endorsed by science I didn’t have much faith and my suspicions have been confirmed. None of the three methods have freed me from mosquito bites, but there are remedies that free us with a much higher success rate, mainly the Industrial repellent with Icaridin and Deet As an active substance. The DEET is the most common ingredient in the repellent spray. With a 20%concentration, it is effective in protecting us for 5 hours. The bad thing is that It has greater toxicity. He IR3535 It is a bit softer and equally effective against some mosquito species, although it would not be so much against others that transport dangerous diseases. There are also natural alternatives such as Essential oils of mint, basil or citronella that are much more respectful of the skin, the problem is that the softer, less effectiveness. Putting chemical substances on my skin is not excited, but they are the only thing that I am not going to end up bitter by itching. In addition, we must not forget that Mosquitoes are considered the deadliest animal that … Read more

Nothing “anti children” series

by

Russia wants to have children ” be fashionable“Not only that. A few months ago Vladimir Putin acknowledged that it aspires to be common to meet large families in the country, with seven or even 10 members,” as it used to be “, Apostilled. With that purpose the Kremlin has deployed a range of measures ranging from the delivery of Aid to families to Declare war To abortion, advance as much as possible motherhood or directly muteto those who defend a lifestyle without children. Now to that arsenal of measures will add another: nothing of films or series in which that same idea comes, the possibility of leading a life free of offspring. What happened? That the Kremlin has decided to close the door to the series and films that, in his opinion, can harm one of their great objectives: refloat birth of the country. Parlaméntskaya Gazetathe Federal Assembly Magazine has published An article in which he reveals that the Ministry of Culture will deny the distribution certificate in Russia to those works that “promote” life without children or “propaganda” related to the subject. It is a measure similar to that applied, for example to films with pornographic content, violent and bloody scenes or “demonstration of non -traditional sexual preferences.” Parliament magazine Precise In addition, the order was published on May 15 and will enter into force in September. With it, he insists, the organism does nothing but adapt to the norm that already prohibits disseminating ideas contrary to procreation. What standard is that? One of the tools with which the Kremlin tries to raise the birth of the country. As remember own Parlaméntskaya Gazetain September of last year there was a bill in Russia that proposed to restrict the dissemination of ideas contrary to paternity. The proposal came endorsed by heavyweights of the Duma, such as Vyacheslav VolodinPresident of the Chamber, and was approved months later together with a series of changes in the Code of Administrative Infractions that contemplate fines for those who do not meet that pattern. To be more precise, sanctions of 400,000 rubles (4,400 euros) for individuals, 800,000 (8,800 euros) for officials and up to five million for companies, about 55,200 euros. What series will be affected? The Order of the Ministry of Culture will not enter into force until September, which is when the criteria to classify the works that do not pass the cut will be set. “Based on this, the agency will block content on the Internet,” Collect the Gazettethat advances in any case that the Russian authorities will focus on those pieces that encourage not having children, raise “distorted ideas” at a social level or transfer a negative image of pregnancy, motherhood or paternity. In those cases the films risk disappearing from online platforms or blocked, regardless of when they have been released. “In each specific case the decision is made by experts,” Concrete Alexander Yushchenkoof the Information Policy Committee of the State Duna. Are there concrete examples? Although it makes it clear that the Russian regulator (Roskomnadzor) has not yet carried out any official analysis, Parliamentskaya Gazeta He has launched a couple of titles that help understand where the shots will go. “In autumn of 2025 films that in one way or another contain information about people without children or with a similar ideology could disappear from platforms. For example (…), among them the popular series may be ‘House of Cards’in which Claire heroine always puts his career before. “Another example he refers to is’Sex in New York ‘focusing on the character of Samantha. Are they the only ones? No. The publication suggests More titles. For example, Brienne’s character in ‘Game of Thrones’ Or even points to one of Hollywood’s most popular sagas, inspired by JK Rowling’s youth novels. “Even in the harmless saga of Harry Potter We believe to find an indication of Childfree: Professor McGonagall had no children “, Point out the magazinealthough he adds: “We must recognize that it is not clear if it was a conscious choice or if something did not work.” How bad is Russian birth? His figures are not good. And that access to their demographic statistics It has been complicated coinciding precisely with the “puncture” of birth. According to ROSSTAT data cited by Idhusduring the first two months of this year the country counted 195,400 births, 3% less than in 2024. The demographer Alexéi Raksha estimates that in February, a particularly bad month, the Russian birth rate stood at its lowest level since the 19th century. That panorama is aggravated with 331,100 deaths registered in a country at war with Ukraine (the conflict has generated Thousands of casualties Between both sides), which has resulted in a loss of population. The graphics The World Group shows that the country’s total census has fallen over the last years, moving away from the 150 million inhabitants that reached in the early 90s. In 2023, and without counting the territories occupied in Ukraine, it is 144 million. Some projections estimate that in just two decades that figure will have dropped to 132 million and in the worst stage at the beginning of the next century It will have stayed at 83. “Let it be fashionable again”. Kremlin’s position before these figures is clear. A few months ago Putin It was set as a goal That his government makes it possible for “having many children to be fashionable again”, with large families that help the country’s demographic engine not flu. With that purpose Moscow has deployed a wide range of measures, just as other nations have done with their demography in low hours, Like China either South Korea. In the case of Russia that recipe book “pronatality” includes aid to families, a position tougher with abortion and controversial decisions, such as Incentives For pregnancy among young people or measures that seek to silence the “propaganda” Against birth. “Protect from ideology”. “It is important to protect people, especially the younger generations, from the ideology about the lack of … Read more

Mercedes broke out for uncovering the anti -petitive pact

by

The European Commission has imposed A sanction of 458 million euros to 15 car manufacturers for its involvement in an illegal pact on recycling. Paradoxically, the scandal was uncovered thanks to Mercedes-Benz, who participated in the framework, but when exposing him to European regulators he obtained total immunity. A pact not to compete. According to the commissionthe manufacturers involved agreed two key practices. On the one hand, not paying vehicle dismantlers, starting from the idea that recycling was a profitable enough business to not have to remunerate it. They did it under a strategy that they baptized as “zero treatment cost.” On the other, they agreed not to make public data on the percentage of recyclability of their vehicles or on the amount of recycled materials used in the manufacture of new cars. The objective was to prevent this information from generating competitive pressure between brands or expectations among consumers. The infraction. These practices went against the Directive 2000/53/CE On vehicles out of use, which establishes that the last owner must be able to deliver his car to a drain without any cost. If necessary, it is the manufacturers themselves who must assume that expense, in addition to adequately informing the recycling and reuse data. The detail of the fines imposed by the EU. The highest sanction has been for Volkswagen, with 127.7 million euros. They are followed by Renault/Nissan with 81 million, and Stellantis with almost 75 million. Toyota, BMW, Ford, Hyundai, GM, Suzuki, Mazda and Volvo also appear on the list, with amounts ranging between 1 and 25 million euros. The ACEA (European Association of Automobile Manufacturers) has also been sanctioned, in this case with a fine of 500,000 euros. The investigation concluded that it acted as a facilitator of the Pact, having organized numerous meetings and coordinated contacts between the manufacturers involved. Mercedes-Benz is fought from fines. Although he participated in the illegal agreement, Mercedes-Benz has not been fined. It was the company that went to the commission in 2019 and activated the clemency program, revealing the existence of the cartel and providing key evidence. If he had not done it, he would have faced a penalty of 35 million euros. Stellantis, Mitsubishi and Ford also subsequently collaborated, which allowed them to obtain reductions in their fines under the same procedure. A pact that crossed borders. The European Commission did not act alone. The investigation was coordinated with the United Kingdom competence authority (CMA), which announced additional sanctions for more than 77 million pounds (about 92 million euros). Among those fined by the British competence authority are Ford and Volkswagen. Challenging times. The news does not arrive at the best time for the sector. The European car industry is under pressure, partly because of the accelerated growth of the sector in China, which threatens to change the global balance. To that are added commercial tensions with the United States, which recently announced new vehicle import tariffs. In the words of Teresa Ribera. The Spanish Commissioner who leads the competition efforts in the European Commission has left a forceful statement: “Today we have taken energetic measures against the companies that were conspired to prevent competition in recycling.” Along these lines, he pointed out that they will not tolerate this type of practices.

Trump orders to build an anti -mile shield “iron dome” for the USA.

by

President Donald Trump ordered by Decree on Monday the construction of an antimile shield of the “iron dome” type for the United States, like the one that Israel uses to intercept thousands of rockets. “We need to immediately begin the construction of a state -of -the -art antimisile defense shield, the iron dome,” Trump told Republican congressmen in Florida. Hours later, aboard the Air Force One that led Trump to Washington, a White House official confirmed that the president signed a decree “To develop an ‘American iron dome’, an antimile defense shield to protect the US territory.” The name “iron dome” comes from the system installed in Israel since 2011 which has allowed neutralizing thousands of rockets against their territory. How does the antimile defense system work iron dome? In the case of Israel, each system consists of a radar unit and a control center, which can detect approximate projectiles, such as missiles. After taking off, calculate your career and your goal. It happens in seconds. You have to do it, because depending on the distance from the Gaza Strip, the Israelis only have 15 to 90 seconds to be safe from a missile that is approaching. The third element is missile launches. There are three to four per system, each with space for 20 rockets. A defense missile is only launched when it is clear that a projectile is aimed at an inhabited area. It is maneuverable in the air. The interceptor missile does not directly impact the other projectile, but exploits in its vicinity, destroying it. However, the debris that fall can cause damage. The systems are mobile and can be relocated. Ten of them are currently in use in Israel. According to the manufacturer, the Israeli state defense company Rafael Defense Systems, a single battery can protect a medium -sized city. The system can intercept projectiles with a range of up to 70 kilometers. According to experts, 13 systems would be necessary to protect the entire country. How reliable is the system? The manufacturer declares a 90%successes. The head of the Israeli defense organization Antimisiles, Moshe Patel, told the AFP news agency that until January the iron dome had intercepted more than 2,400 projectiles in the last ten years. The arms manufacturer Rafael figure in more than 2,500 launches successfully. “Any intercepted missile would have impacted an inhabited area, which could cause serious damage and cause victims”is stated on the website of the Armed Forces of Israel. According to the Israeli army, during the current escalation 1,600 projectiles against Israel were shot, of which it is said that 400 fell into the Gaza Strip itself. The Radical Islamist group Hamas seems to bet on the strategy of launching large full -successing downloads and testing the iron dome or even taking it to its limits.
