The existential battle between traditionalists and progressive for the control of the Church

by

We have not even reached his Ecuador, but 2025 has made it clear since it will not be a year to get bored. At Geopolitical tensions who have followed the return of Donald Trump to the White House, the Rearm of Europe and one Commercial War That is aggravated between recession drums, a new front has just been added: the Vatican. Francisco’s death It opens the debate (latent for a long time) on who will happen at the head of the Catholic Church. And while the process is not new or unknown, it does arrive at a sensitive moment in the Vatican, with a clear (and indisposed) tension between the most reformist and the traditionalist wing. The big question is … What to expect from now on? Pope Francis (1936-2025). The news He advanced it This morning the Vatican. Pope Francis has died. He has done it at 88, at his Vatican residence, after 12 years of pontificate and one Last reappearance public during Holy Week celebrations. For history there is one of its last public appearances In company of the US vice president, JD Vance. His death activates the Funeral ritual Approved by Francisco himself in 2024: wake, funeral, burial and really important (at least for the future of the Catholic Church), the cardinal conclave that will decide who will happen to the front of the Vatican. A priori the summit should begin in 15 or 20 daysalthough the runrún of names and pools about who will be the new pontiff It takes time ringing. In fact, the succession even He has felt In online betting houses. Click on the image to go to Tweet. Who will relieve it? The million dollar question. And without an answer right now. What is handled are some names, figures and trends. For example, The BBC remembers That right now there are 252 Catholic cardinals, of which 138 meet the age requirements to be eligible in the vote of the new Pontiff. The rest can participate in the debate on who should take office. Another relevant fact is that of those 138 ecclesiastical highs that may exercise the right to vote during the conclave, much, much, about 110were named by Francisco himself and the group as a whole will be more diverse than the one who participated in previous summits. History also tells us that, although Francisco was of Argentine origin (it was The first American Pope) and a Polish and a German preceded it, most potatoes to date (217 of 266) They have been Italian. Names on the table. Beyond the figures (which are nothing other than that: figures), are the names. Throughout the last months already measure that Francisco’s health became more fragile, in papal pools a few names have sounded. There has been talk of the Filipino Luis Antonio Taglethe Ghanaian Peter Turkssonthe Portuguese José Tolentino de Mendonçathe Italians Pietro Parolin and Matteo Zuppithe Hungarian Peter Erdothe Dutchman Willem Eijkthe American R. Leo Burkethe German Gerhard Müllerthe Maltese Mario Grech or the Canadian Marc Ouellet. Some have sounded more strength, others with less, and it is expected that noise will increase throughout the next few days and weeks. Even with speculation about names of Spanish prelates. If there is something really important and that it can already be valued at this point in the process, it is that in that extensive list of possible candidates two different trends can be identified that also reflect the drive within the Church: there are names that connect with the most open and progressive current, such as Tagle’s, and other conservative profile, Burke’s case. There are those who even add A third group: The establishment Vatican. Of names … and currents. If the figures are just figures, the names are just that: names. Much more interesting (at least at this point in the process) is the current of thought in which they are framed within the Vatican and if they show a more conservative or opening profile. Especially since the new Pope will have to complete a lot of the initiatives initiated by Francisco and for years the Church clearly transparent the different sensibilities that live in the institution, with obvious frictions for example In Germany either USA. The scenario is so complex and so relevant will be the figure of the new pontiff, that there are those who already He wonders openly to what extent Francisco has been in charge of leaving “armored” the changes he promoted during his pontificate, in which the debate was opened on some of the hottest issues of the Church: the paperthe Women’s figurehomosexuality (both Your presence In the bosom of the Church as the blessing of Couples) and the fight against abuse. Two examples: Germany and USA. The above are some of the most controversial issues in the Church and with which Francisco I has had to Bregar in his pontificate. To understand to what extent they raise internal differences in the Vatican, to what extent different mentalities coexist in its bosom and (above all) the capital importance that the next Pope will have, it is good to remember the challenges raised in recent years by the bishops of Germany and the US. In Germany the progressive Catholic movement Synod road impulse years ago A reformist wave focused on issues such as the blessings of gay couples, the ordination of women such as deacons or the marriage of priests that caused Certain friction (some Very popular) Among some Germanic and Rome bishops. “You cannot continue as until now, it is about transmitting the message of the Gospel here and now, and not always looking at the past,” argued in 2022 The president of the German Episcola Conference, Georg Gaetzing, reluctant to stop blessing believers of the same sex despite the repairs of Rome. Eeuu earrings… Francisco has also had to deal with the opposition from the US Curia. Although for a different reason. There the one that has left headlines is the ultraconservative faction, headed by … Read more

Apple had already lost the battle of alternative apps. Altstore just knew the last blow

by

The war between Altstore and Apple is a story of victories for alternative stores. In April 2024 we tried ALTSTORE PALthe first alternative to App Store that reached iOS after the entry into force of the European DMA. Although the store had been available since 2019, being able to settle from a computer. The app developers have just tightened the forearm on this pulse against Apple. The application store now allows you to install something even more curious than a console emulator: an app store. The beginnings of Altstore. To understand Altstore’s victory, it is convenient to meet his recent past. In 2019 Altstore was publishedan alternative store for the iPhone. The objective was clear and completely outside what Apple considered in its terms of use: allowing users to download emulators. The installation method was simple, although it required a PC. We had to download a .dmg in the MAC that acted as an installation server for the apps store. Made the process, and notifying Apple that Altstore came from “a non -reliable developer”, the application could be installed. One of its main limitations had to do with the development environment of the emulators. In iOS, JIT is needed (a compiler that allows optimizing its drastic performance), a tool that Apple did not allow in this type of apps. Apple responded with forcefulness. Apple didn’t take too long in Block some of the emulators that Altstore brought to his operating system. The company, since its inception, has been against emulation, Eliminating even your application store Those who have been published. With the arrival of the new digital market regulations, Emulators were no longer prohibited in App Store. Because, downloading a copy of a non -lawful game is illegal, but playing your own copies in an emulator does not violate any law. It is a ball that remains on each user’s roof. The first great victory. In the middle of the storm, Altstore managed to get a font after the entry into force of the DMA. The app could be installed without major problem From the iPhone and its developers signed alliances with giants like Epic Games. The latter allowed Altstore to become completely free. The door opened not only to emulators, but also to clipboard apps, apps for download torrents, and even virtualization of classic operating systems such as Windows 95. A store … that is installed from the store. When euphoria seemed to be able to go anymore, Altstore has moved again. At the beginning of this piece we talked about JIT, the key compiler to execute the Altstore apps. The app developers have returned the classic Altstore to iOS. An alternative store that can be installed … from the alternative store itself. In other words: Altstore Classic can be installed from Altstore. Beyond tongue twisters, this is one of the biggest victories of an Apple apps store. The reason? The classic Altstore allows the same thing that allowed the original app in 2019: install the apps that Apple did not want.

an internal battle within Apple Intelligence for the control of everything

by

The unfulfilled promises of Apple Intelligence have left Apple something exposed. The case suggests a company somewhat divided by opposite visions and structural problems that culminated in its greatest public stumbling in years. The background. The plan to renew Siri completely, presented at the WWDC 2024It turned out to be a fictitious demo that not even the engineers of the Siri team had seen work. According to a long and detailed report of The Informationthe only real element of the demo was the new interface that appears when invoking Siri. Advanced functions such as contextual postal analysis or integration with applications were practically non -existent. This break with Apple’s tradition of showing only functional technology has left him in an awkward position: have to delay some of the promised functions Until 2026. Between bambalins. The investigation of The Information Talk about an internal war between the AI ​​/ML team (artificial intelligence / Machine Learning, ‘automatic learning’) led by John Giannandrearesponsible for Siri since 2018, and the software group of Craig Federight Aka ‘Pelazo’. This conflict is the result of gathering two opposite philosophies: Giannandrea: Cauto approach, oriented to incremental improvements, focused on privacy. Federight: more agile, pragmatic and results -oriented approach. Apple engineers sarcastically nicknamed the AI/ml group as “Aimless” (without a goal), referring to generalized frustration with their leadership and lack of ambition. The crossroads. Siri’s course has been confusing from the beginning, marked by inconsistent decisions. Initially it was proposed to develop two language models for this new version: “Mini Mouse” to work at home. “Mighty Mouse” to execute in the cloud and oriented to the most complex tasks. Then, the team pivoted towards a single cloud model, before making other technical changes that engineers did not fit well. Script turn. In March 2025, Apple changed the chairs, putting Craig Federight and Mike Rockwell (architect of the Vision Pro) at the head of the Siri project. The first important change was to eliminate the restriction of using only internal language models. Now Federight has instructed to “do whatever it takes to build the best functions of AI”, even if that means using third -party models. This decision contrasts with the previous policy to only use external models as a comparative reference, despite the fact that internal models “did not give up as well as OpenAi technology.” In perspective. Apple’s stumbling block is the reflection of a major problem: its obsession with privacy and total control has collided with the reality of the development of modern. Rivals like Amazon (with Alexa+), Microsoft (COPILOT) and Samsung have been directly associated with Openai or Anthropic, Apple has tried to build everything internally. The results are not being spectacular. The new direction implies that Apple has understood that it needs to find a balance between its privacy principles and the need to advance rapidly in AI. It is that or, irremediably, losing relevance. And now what. Within Apple there is optimism that Federight and Rockwell, known for delivering complex projects on time, can straighten the course. The next one WWDC 2025 In June it will be key to see if Apple can recover the confidence of developers and users after one of the most delicate episodes in the company’s recent history.

Nintendo Switch 2 had one of its battle horses in retrocompatibility. Has resolved it in the Nintendo style

by

We had to wait, but after the official announcement of Nintendo Switch 2 Almost three months ago, Nintendo has finally celebrated the long -awaited Direct in which he has spoken long and lying about the successor of one of the most successful consoles in history. We already know the price, date and launch catalogbut there is a detail that makes a crucial difference with respect to its predecessor: Nintendo Switch 2 is retrocompatible. And although that was confirmed on January 16, its relevance goes far beyond what it seems. Supposes the return of a historical characteristic in Nintendo that disappeared, precisely when Switch It was launched in 2017. Now: It’s not like many expected. Or, well, seeing the direction of the industry, it may be exactly as we imagined … Fragmented history Let’s rewind a little historical review. Nintendo is a company that laid the foundations for the video game as we know it now, not only in desktop, but in laptop. Nintendo Switch was the union of the two ways of playingbut until his arrival, we had desktop consoles, on the one hand, and laptops on the other. Nes, SNES and Nintendo 64 were independent products. Each console had its own guts and none worried about looking at the past. There were unofficial accessories to play NES in SNES and the same in Nintendo 64, but when the Japanese launched a desktop console, they only looked at the future. It is logical: make a console retrocompatible implies that the new machine must carry the original circuitry of the previous machine. The first PS3 model carried a PS2 inside, something they eliminated with later versions to save costs. It could also be emulation by software as Xbox 360 did with the original Xbox, but it was not the same. That retrocompatibility was no stranger to the Nintendo laptops line. Game Boy Color was compatible with Game Boy games, Game Boy Advance admitted Game Boy Color and Nintendo DS games even had Port for Game Boy Advance games. In desktop, however, the villantazo arrived with Wii. After the commercial failures of Nintendo 64 and Gamecube, the ‘Great N’ opted for a Wii that DVD read, but also the disc format of its previous console. Wii was a Gamecube who could not only read his games, but to which we could connect his peripherals as controls and memory cards. It was a total retrocompatibility. And Wiiu, despite its failure, could also execute Wii games native. Nintendo Switch and his poor “virtual console” Ok, Wii and Wiiu read albums, but … What happened in laptops? Well, Nintendo 3DS lost retrocompatibility with Game Boy Advance cartridges, but admitted the huge DS catalog, thus being a very, very complete console. But 2017 arrived, Nintendo Switch was launched and retrocompatibility was lost. It was logical for two reasons. The first: I had no record slot, since its format are memory cards -I still call them cartridges, and I don’t get off this ship. The second: although it had a USB accessory to read albums, Switch’s architecture was ARM while the previous ones were PowerPC. Switch virtual console is a nintendo online section Come on, you could not play the previous games in a switch that totally broke with the past. But … And for software? In recent years we have seen how this software emulation has advanced a lot (especially thanks to Microsoft’s efforts), but Nintendo already had its Virtual console both in Wii and Wiiu, allowing generations such as NES, SNES and N64. He was one of his bastions, in fact, and did not need to have the circuitry of the previous machines to work. And there were even mega drive or PC Engine titles. It was a jewel for the nostalgic and you could buy for little money the title you would like. Switch 2 cartridges have the same format, but different color Switch, with his Nvidia Tegra chip, could do that perfectly. And yes, he did, through the ‘virtual console’ of the Nintendo Online subscription. It was not the same concept that we saw in Wii and the catalog, although it has been expanding, it is smaller (apart from the fact that the games do not belong to you, since you do not buy them individually, but that they are within the subscription), but at least it was shown that Switch could treasure part of that legacy of the company. The controversial retrocompatibility of Nintendo Switch 2 And here we are, eight years later, and getting closer to the launch of A Switch 2 that will not paste that door to the past. It is compatible with Nintendo Online, but the most important thing is that the machine repeats the play we saw in Game Boy and Nintendo DS: you can put the cartridge of a switch game and enjoy perfectly on Switch 2. There were only two details that we should know: what would be the improvements and if it would be free to put the game that you already had to enjoy. And yes, but no. In the Direct, Nintendo has mentioned that we can put our cartridge of a switch game and enjoy the new console, but the title will not have first changes. Now, some like ‘Kirby and the Forgotten Earth’, ‘The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild’ and ‘Tears of the Kingdom’, among others, will have a new version: Nintendo Switch 2 Edition calls. They will be launched in physical format as if it were a new version, but you can also enter the cartridge we have and buy a package that will unlock extra content or improvements for that game. Come on: a payment update to enjoy those improvements/new content. In the ‘Zelda’, they have confirmed that we will have a more stable second rate, as well as a higher resolution and HDR compatibility. In the title of ‘Kirby’, apart from better graphics, we will have a new exclusive story. Finally, GameCube retrocompatbility will arrive. … Read more

The mountains of Aragon are plagued by Christian crosses. Now there is a battle to tear them down or maintain them

by

Aragon lives his peculiar “Cruces War”. One that has begun in the mountains of the region, has jumped to the administrations and threatens Finish in the Courts. And all following a crucifix of several meters installed in the Sierra de Albarracín, a construction that has divided part of the Aragonese political class and society: for some it is a symbol that It must be preserved for its heritage, historical and symbolic value; For others, an element that must be withdrawn by representing a danger or directly crash with the aconfesionality of the State. The debate is served. The beginning of everything, a ray. If Aragon has faced his particular “battle of the crosses” for a few weeks, it is for lightning. A few months ago, In September of 2024, the Sierra de Albarracín suffered a storm that affected THE CROSS OF BEZASa monument of several meters high and several steps located on top of a rock. The cross did not fall, but it was affected by a ray that, Precise Diario de TeruelHe broke part of the concrete and gave a scare to a guard. What happened? The episode was a problem for several reasons. The ray was supposedly splintered part of the stone that covers the metal structure of the cross and the fragments fell near a guard. Enough for the Provincial Environment Service will send a letter to the town hall in which he proposed to withdraw the monument. Among other reasons alleged that it acts as a lightning rod during storms, a risk that could now increase that its metal is air. “An environmental risk”. The regional report in which it was argued that the cross represents “An environmental risk” convinced the Consistory, that He gave green light to demolition. Beyond the danger it can represent, the cross is popular in the area (it names the Peñasco on which it rose), but it is not especially old nor is there a clear unanimity about its historical value. The monument was installed in July 1939in memory of battalion 135 Bailén, but Alfonso Casas, expert in the Spanish Civil War, I explained recently In an interview with Diario de Teruel that in his opinion “it is not properly a vestige of the war.” Moreover, in his opinion he also does not have a special artistic value. And the debate arrived. Not everyone thinks the same. The decision to tear down the cross He didn’t like it For example to Christian lawyers, who a few days ago filed an appeal before the contentious-administrative court of Teruel. Its argument is simple: the cross has been in the same state for several decades (they presented a video in which they ensure that it can be seen how in the 80s the structure already had the pampering damages that now blame the lightning), so there is no reasons to remove it from the rock. “This monument, erected in 1939, reaches three meters with the base and is an important symbol of Christianity in the valley,” Highlight entitywho complains that “everything that recalls that Spain is and must remain Catholic” produces “a strange hives” in institutions. To reinforce his claim he has also initiated a collection of signatures that backed by more than 13,300 people. Beyond the Cruz de Bezas. So far the case is interesting but basically affects the municipality of Bezas and its neighbors. If you have caught the attention of state media It is because the debate has climbed and that September ray has put in the point of view other religious monuments distributed throughout the Aragonese mountains. One of the key actors of that debate has been Vox, which He has taken advantage to go beyond the decision of demolition of Bezas. His spokesman in the courts of Aragon, Alejandro Nolasco, has advanced Two party decisions. First, claim in the courts to keep the Cross of Bezas. Second, promote an initiative for “all historical and artistic goods that the Taliban of the PP and PSOE want to destroy” are declared BIC. “We are going to live times in which the crosses are going to tear down putting environmental, landscape excuses. Of course, free way for mills and plates.” “Contributes to degradation”. Vox has already proposed to achieve BIC’s tag (and armor) sights Located in the Old Pueblo de Belchite, Los Pinares de Venice, Monzón, Barbastro or Teruel, where he also wants protection to The cross located in the Plaza del Seminario. However, another group that advocates something very different: the Movement towards a secular state (Mhuel). In fact the entity has launched A campaign to demand the withdrawal of religious symbols distributed by the Summits of Aragon. “Aragonese mountains are fragile spaces that already suffer strong pressure from human activity,” The association arguesthat insists in that the presence of metal crossings affects the ecosystem and are a danger for hikers, especially during storms. “The installation of artificial elements contributes to the degradation of these spaces, many cataloged.” The great background debate. It is not the only argument that Mhuel wields, which also points to the great background debate: religious symbols in the middle of the mountain. “The presence of Christian symbols in public natural spaces contravenes the principle of aconfesionality of the State collected in our Constitution,” ditch: “The mountains are heritage of all citizens, regardless of their beliefs, and must remain free of religious symbols that represent only one part.” Hence the entity advocates extending Bezas’s criteria. But … how many are there? Good question, difficult answer. Bezas is not the only cross that crown rocks or peaks. In La Peña Oroel There is another very popular, just like that of The top of Anetowho jumped to the media in 2013 after the Benasque City Council decided to withdraw it to repair it. In 2024 Today Aragon needed That in the mountains there are different types of crosses with a religious or civil value, from indicators of sanctuaries or hermitages to guides for pilgrims, tributes to deceased or … Read more

Madrid libra a new existential battle in its tourist process: the invasion of the tuk tuk

As Spain Win weight in the International Capital Tourist Circuit as Madrid, Barcelona, Seville either Alicante They have begun to see how These vehicles Light and three -wheeled, they reached their neighborhoods, becoming passing through A headache For the authorities. In Madrid They know well. So much that the City Council has launched to the complicated task of regular Your activity. Fever Tuktukera.

In February we told you how in the center of Madrid there are already bass that They have passed to host banks to become private and payment WC. The tuk tuk They are another test. A few years ago they associated with cities like Bangkok. Now they are common in Spanish destinations (Valencia, Alicante either A Coruñato mention three) where they offer tours for tourists who want to save walks. Click on the image to go to Tweet. THE CASE OF MADRID. Another clear example is Madrid. At least in the summer of 2023 the sector calculated that they operated there about 50 tuk tuk managed by a dozen companies and freelancers. It is not bad if you consider that fever Tuktukera It started in Spain makes less than a decadetowards 2016. That is a quick search for that year and a half In networks either Google It shows that in Madrid there are still people who offer tours aboard these light vehicles.

Both in Madrid and other cities, including Seville, Barcelona either Alicante. The controversy usually revolves around several points: its presence in the streets (with the consequent Effect on traffic), its regulatory framework and the competition they pose for traditional mobility alternatives, such as taxis. The Tourism Area of ​​the City of Madrid I explained recently to The Spanish that belong to the category l of motor vehicles with less than four wheels and, therefore, have a circulation permission. Its normative lace seems, however, less clear. The city mayor itself, José Luis Martínez Almeida, I recognized A few months ago being “worried” about “the phenomenon of tuk tuk“ Click on the image to go to Tweet. Ordering the sector. In addition to recognizing your concern, in September Almeida revealed that had ordered the Councilor for Tourism to specify “the regulatory framework” that protects the tuk tuk. The objective: “to be able to make decisions about it.” The opposition itself He has shown In fact, their “doubts about the legal margins” in which these vehicles provide their tourist services, in addition to the competition they exert on licensed taxis. At the beginning of the year the City Council assured that he is studying “everything” related to the service, but warned that it is not the only administration that must act. “All this is being studied, but first it is necessary tuk tuk“, They remembered from the municipal area of ​​Finance. “They hinder traffic”. The debate around the regulatory framework has not prevented the tuk tuk Be well visible, especially in the points with the greatest flow of tourists in the city. “Apart from the Royal Palace, Bailén and Major the San Miguel market is horrible,” They recognized Recently from the sector. “Legally in these areas you can stop for a moment if it is to collect or leave the client; but many companies and self -employment stop, park, and offer their services to capture tourists, hindering traffic.” {“Videoid”: “X80ZM7F”, “Autoplay”: False, “Title”: “How your town or city has changed in 40 years: This is the new function of Google Earth”, “Tag”: “”, “Duration”: “135”} In Atocha as in Bangladesh. The taxi drivers are also very critical and in 2023 they warned of the competition they suffered. “We begin to see that they take tourists in the hotels with suitcases and take them to the stations. We have detected them around Atocha, as if this were Bangladesh,” regretted At that time the professional federation of the Taxi of Madrid.

As in any battle, you have to be prepared with a strategy

by

Ask for a salary increase is one of the most tense moments for employees, especially in Latin culture, where salary negotiation It is almost a taboo. However, it is a moment that, sooner or earlierall professionals face throughout their career regardless of WHAT IS YOUR POSITION. Coaling the moment correctly, and the attitude with which that request is addressed, is a important part for your success. To ask for an increase, look at the calendar According to Nicola Weatherhead, vice president of people’s operations and talent acquisition at The Stepstone Group, in An interview For the British Dailymaila petition for salary improvement can never be the result of improvisation. The first step is to choose the right time for both the person in charge of human resources, and for the company. For example, if you have evidence that the company A bad financial moment passesit is less likely to have Ability to increase your salary. Instead, a good moment can be just after making a positive economic balance public. On the other hand, regardless of the financial health of the company, it is also important to choose well the date on which the increase is proposed. For example, many companies prepare their annual budgets at the end of the year, and close at the beginning of the year. Therefore, the first months of the year may not be the best to request a salary increase because the budget items are already assigned. On the other hand, the perfect moment to request it will be just before the company begins to prepare those budgets for next year. In this way, your request may be taken into account and included in the accounts of the following year. Appointment to talk about your salary From the indeed labor platform, They point How important as choosing the right time for the company, is to choose it to speak with the head of human resources that manages it. Have one Conversation about your salary next to the coffee machine It is not the best of ideas, so the ideal is to set an appointment enough to ensure that whoever should collect your request is paying all their attention to a quiet and private environment. During that meeting, he speaks safely and assertively, but avoids aggressive or too shy. A balanced tone It generates empathy and facilitates establishing open and respectful negotiation. Companies may have quarterly or annual evaluation programs, and that can also be a good time to address the salary increase, since your performance data will be on the table to endorse it. That takes us to the next point. Do not compare yourself, let your work speak “Prepare a detailed summary of what you have achieved during the last year and what you plan to contribute to the future,” said Weatherhead. Take this List with your achievements It allows you to show, objectively and based on results, the worth of your work and the added value you contribute to the company. It mentions concrete figures, such as increases in sales or improvements in operational efficiency, if you have led new projects or everything that is relevant in your position or that has contributed to the team. The personal economic situation should never be the reason that justifies the request for salary increase. One of the most frequent errors is compare with other colleagueseven with those with similar tasks. Each employee fulfills their function and their metrics can be oriented to different objectives, although similar functions are apparently done. “In addition, refrain from making demands or ultimatums, since this can tighten your relationship with your employer,” says the expert. The last thing you want is to be a focus of problems for those who must manage their salary increase. On the other hand, involve a supervisor to validate your work, it is a good strategy since it is someone whose objective is precisely to report your performance. This confirmation of your results will have more weight than your statements when considering a salary increase. “They will need evidence and, if you have a high -ranking manager in the company to help you defend your position, the bosses will be convinced much more easily among them,” says Weatherhead. Investigate and ask accordingly Another important aspect is not to leave in the air the percentage of salary increase that you have in mind. Therefore, it is convenient to make a previous investigation of the average salary of your position in the sector, in your region and in the type of companysince wages vary depending on these factors. Knowing that data will allow you to present A reasonable proposal. Use tools such as salary comparators, Consult colleagues or review job offers similar to your profile and knowledge to obtain An adequate salary range. Avoid asking for an exact amountit is more appropriate to talk about salary ranges or increase percentages. That gives margin to negotiate and shows flexibility on your part. For example, you can say: “I have investigated and I think that an increase within the range of X A and would be fair considering my responsibilities and performance within the team.” A negative is not a defeat One of the communication strategies in this type of negotiation is not to propose the increase as a question of whether or not. If you do, the easiest thing for the company is to stand in the No. Instead, you can raise it as a goal to achieveIn that way, even if at that time you receive a negative, a schedule is drawn for a new request in the future. In an assertive and calm way, he asks the person in charge of what objectives and improvements he considers to achieve to obtain that increase in the future. That not only denotes a positive attitude of growth, but also highlights the commitment to the company. In fact, even in case of obtaining a salary increase, it may be below your initial expectations. Knowing that roadmap can serve … Read more

Pitched battle in Brazil – El Diario NY

The Curitiba classic between Coritiba and Athletico Paranaense, which has many episodes of violence over the yearsadded this Saturday a new chapter that exposes one of the most unfortunate sides of football and, especially, of this sport in South America. They faced each other for the fifth round of the Paranaense Championship, a competition that pits clubs from the state of Paraná against each other and has these two teams, precisely, as the top champions. However, the most controversial thing happened when the match ended where there was a complaint of racism and a pitched battle with pineapples, flying kicks, players and collaborators on the floor, and the intervention of the military police. The classic from the Curitiba area animated one of the state championships, the Paranaense Championship. Both teams had the opportunity to approach the top of the tournament. But, there were no goals, but the action was after the match where many players participated in the brawl. Before, in the middle of the match, an Athletico Paranaense player, central defender Léo, denounced racist chants by Coritiba fans.
