In the midst of the cocaine furor, in 1990 they thought that the message should be clearer. So they called the Ninja Turtles

by

Who better than a large group of television animation stars to warn the creatures addicted to the cathode tube of the dangers of drugs (those not related to the cathode tube). This happened in 1990, in a clash of animated titans that had international reach: here we saw it on Antena 3 and presented by the famous Reina Sofía. How and why was this firefighter idea born? Be good. There was something that the cartoons of the eighties were very good at, and that was preaching. We all remember the taglines that Mattel added to the ‘He-Man and the Masters of the Universe‘ to cushion accusations of excessive violence and in which the heroes reminded the kids to brush their teeth and listen to their elders, unless that elder was a stranger who told them to get in his car. And while here a generation was duly seasoned by the messages of disturbing anti-capitalist terrorism of the Electroduendes, in the United States they brought together successful cartoon characters of the time so that the kids could say no to drugs. To the rescue. ‘Cartoon All-Stars to the Rescue’ is a 1990 half-hour animated special focused on drug prevention, which brought together popular characters from several animated series (ten in total: the Smurfs, ALF, Garfield, Alvin and the Chipmunks, Winnie from Pooh, the Little Ones, Slimer from ‘The Real Ghostbusters’, some Looney Tunes, a Turtle Ninja and Donald’s nephews from ‘DuckTales’). The plot revolves around a teenager who uses marijuana and puts his younger sister at risk due to his addiction. Cartoon characters come to life for emergency intervention. Important financing. The production was financed by McDonald’s and its children’s charity Ronald McDonald Foundation. The White House supported the invention with an introduction by President George HW Bush and First Lady Barbara Bush, something that would be repeated in different countries with different presenters. The four major American television networks (ABC, CBS, NBC and Fox) collaborated to broadcast it and the franchise owners gave up the rights for a good cause. It was produced by the Academy of Television Arts and Sciences and animated in Taiwan (because shit is shit) by the very prolific Wang Film Productions. To end the avalanche of stars, Alan Menken and Howard Ashman, at the time on the crest of the wave thanks to their soundtrack for ‘The Little Mermaid’ just a year earlier, composed an original song, ‘Wonderful Ways to Say No‘. In Spain, the queen. The version broadcast in Spanish-speaking countries was called ‘Cartoon stars to the rescue.’ In Spain It was broadcast by all television networks, but at different times: La Primera, the international channel, Antena 3, regional channels with programming in Spanish (Canal Sur, Telemadrid, TVG, ETB-2 and Canal Nou), Tele 5 and Canal+. There were also various presenters: in Mexico, President Carlos Salinas; in Chile, the first lady Marta Larraechea; and in Spain, Queen Sofía, at that time very involved in drug prevention campaigns and protection of the rights of minors. Avoid drugs. Since Nixon got muddied in the early seventies in a interested war on drugsthere have been relentless educational campaigns aimed at removing glamor and providing tools so that the youngest people do not fall into addictions. Often sinning naivety and Manichaeism (and this cartoon special has plenty of both), many of its slogans have remained embedded in pop culture: ‘Just say no‘, ‘This is your brain in drugs‘… and in Spain the legendary “Avoid drugs” (which at the very least generated a great song by Esteban Light) and “Say no to drugs“, with cocaine ray worm spot included.

It is called Soratnik and its soldiers carry it on their heads to get ahead of the enemy.

by

It was in the month of August when Russia demonstrated that its advances were not only about drones, also on helmets. Aware of the technological developments in Ukraine, Moscow presented an unprecedented system of portable electronic warfare designed specifically for each combatant, one more step in the miniaturization of anti-drone defense. Now, that effort has been multiplied with a version 2.0 of the helmet. His name: Soratnik. Tactical thinking. More than a century after the horrors of World War I forced a rediscovery of the importance of the combat helmet, Russia has decided to reinvent it completely. He new “Soratnik”developed by the state consortium Frente del Pueblo, represents the definitive transition from the helmet as a simple physical shield to an intelligent platform integrated into the modern warfare network. This model incorporates a artificial intelligence module capable of collecting data from the soldier himself, from his colleagues equipped with the same technology and from drones deployed on the ground. All this information, processed in real time, offers commanders a dynamic map of the situation on the front and shows the position of allies and enemies in an internal display, transforming the perception of the battlefield into an immersive and synchronized experience. The “smart” helmet. The “Soratnik” is not an isolated project: its development is part of a global competition for the integration of artificial intelligence and augmented reality in the soldier’s equipment. In the West, Meta and Anduril Industries They work on the “Eagle Eye”a helmet equipped with AR screens and connection to the Lattice command and control system, with which they intend to achieve the same information superiority that Moscow seeks. Both projects symbolize a doctrinal change: he soldier connected as node of a network of sensors, cameras and drones that turns war into a continuous flow of data. If the “Soratnik” manages to balance weight, comfort and technological capacity, could mark the beginning of a new generation of personal equipment in which information is as valuable as ballistic protection. From steel to silicon. Paradoxically, combat helmets They have not evolved as much as other pieces of modern weaponry. From the steel models of 1915, such as the Frenchman Adrian either the German Stahlhelmits design has changed little beyond the materials used. a study from Duke University even concluded that those helmets from the Great War offered better protection against shock waves than the currentmore designed to resist projectiles and shrapnel than to mitigate the effect of explosions. For decades, progress was limited to lightening weight and improving ergonomics, but never to redefining its function. An auxiliary brain. From that perspective, “Soratnik” intends to take that leap. By integrating a digital layer over the combatant’s field of vision, the helmet ceases to be a passive barrier and becomes a cognitive extension of the soldier, a system capable of interpreting the environment and anticipating threats. The difficulty will be maintaining the balance between technology and physical reality: a helmet that is too heavy or uncomfortable ends up being useless, no matter how smart it is. Russia and its competitors know this, and their challenge is to ensure that technical progress does not sacrifice basic functionality. From clay to the digital age. If we look back, the history combat helmet modern begins in the trenches of World War I, when injuries from shrapnel and artillery forced armies to recover forgotten protection since the Middle Ages. In 1915, France introduced the Adrian modelfollowed by the German Stahlhelm and the british brodieall made of steel and designed to resist projectile splinters. Those helmets marked the beginning of a new relationship between the soldier and his equipment: they were no longer an ornament, but a survival tool. During the 20th century, its design adapted to the change of wars (from European mud to the jungles of the Pacific, from desert to cities), replacing metal with composite materials and reducing weight. However, despite the advancement of military technology, the helmet remained almost unchanged in its basic purpose: to protect the head, not to think for it. Today, more than a century later, that paradigm appears to be changing. War as a data network. If it achieves that balance, the “Soratnik” could inaugurate a new era in which the helmet stops symbolizing only individual defense to represent the total connection between the combatant and his army. It is no longer about protecting the head, but about turning it into a processing center mobile, a link point between humans and machines. In the evolution of the “brain bucket” The “smart helmet” summarizes a century of war history: from tempered steel to silicon, from the physical blow to the flow of informationfrom survival to control of the environment. A change that redefines not only the soldier’s equipment, but also the very nature of war. Image | VPK In Xataka | Ukraine brought its drones closer to the Russian army.

While the world desperately seeks rare earth, China has an overwhelming advantage: it’s called Wem

by

It seems clear that it has begun A race On the planet: the search for Rare earths and the essential critical minerals for many of the sectors that mark the geopolitical agenda. The problem for 99.9% of nations is the same: when they seem to have reached a deposit there are already A Chinese flag. What is not usually explained so much is how Beijing does. The miliar origin. Deep in the mountains of center of China extends A monumental installation that transforms both the landscape and the global competition for strategic resources. It is a gigantic antenna of 500 kilowatts, with lines that are deployed over 80 and 120 kilometers, originally conceived to maintain communication with underwater underwater. This electromagnetic colossus, whose extension exceeds in five times the New York surfacehas been converted into a decisive instrument for the exploration of critical minerals, projecting signals capable of penetrating kilometers in the earth’s crust and revealing deposits that previously remained out of human reach. What began as a military project has become a Scientific and Technological Weapon which gives Beijing a remarkable advantage in the race for the resources that will define the future of energy and industry. Electromagnetic exploration. A study of the China Geological Survey (CGS), published in the Geophysical & Geochemical Exploration magazine, has detailed how the country has managed to monopolize Electromagnetic systems of ultra-high power. All platforms that exceed 100 kW are in Chinese territory, while the most powerful tool in the United States barely reaches 30 kW. The difference is not trivial: this technological leap has allowed Chinese geologists to discover in recent years sites of historical magnitude, such as the Greater gold deposit of the world, reserves Lithium ultra-extends and uranium veins in depths Never achieved. The research led by Chen Hui and his team affirms That these innovations consolidate China’s world position in electromagnetic exploration theory and technology, placing it far ahead of any western competitor. The challenge. As the superficial deposits of copper, lithium, cobalt and rare earths are exhausted, the exploration has moved to what geologists call The “Second Mineral Space”: An underground strip that extends between 500 and 2,000 meters deep. In this environment, the signs issued by mineral bodies are extremely weak and are usually buried under the cultural noise generated by electricity lines, urban infrastructure and extractive operations. The Chinese response has been to redefine the scale of prospecting: multiply the transmission power by above 100 kWflooding the subsoil with signs capable of crossing interference and reaching depths of up to 3,000 meters with unprecedented clarity. Advances in the subsoil cartography. The jump is not limited to power. While conventional techniques relied on two -dimensional models not suitable for complex structures, Chinese systems use Sensors distributed networks and multidirectional field sources that allow a real three -dimensional image of the subsoil. In the Jiama copper mine, in the Tibet, a controlled audio-magnetothelúrica tensorial study (CSAMT) reached unpublished resolutions at more than 3,000 meters, subsequently confirmed with drilling nuclei. These results They far exceeded to the Magnetotheluric of Natural Source, usually ineffective in saturated noise environments. The methods. One of the most prominent advances is the Electromagnetic method wide field, developed by Professor He Jishan, which allows you to obtain reliable data even in the so -called “nearby field zone”, where the records were not very useful. At the same time, the time-frequency electromagnetic systems are expanding the available information by measuring not only the resistance of the materials, but also its polarization and permeabilityessential parameters to distinguish between different types of deposits. The Wem project. And so we reach the clearest symbol of this ambition: The Wem project (Wireless Electromagnetic Method), whose colossal structure crosses China’s heart with two antenna lines arranged almost at right angles. This system, which began as a naval communication tool, has become the First electromagnetic transmitter of continental scale used in the prospecting of resources. In a national test carried out in 2023its signs were detected from Tibet to Interior Mongolia and Guangdong, more than 2,000 kilometers away. In the area of ​​Xiong’an there were magnetic fields up to seven times higher than the natural background noise, an unequivocal demonstration of the system’s capacity to impose itself on the most complex interference. Strategic advantage. In other words, with these Beijing technologies It is placed at the head of the struggle for the essential mineral resources for the energy transition and the green technologies: lithium for batteries, cobalt for high resistance alloys and rare earths essential in modern electronics. In contrast, most Western countries lack comparable systems and, except Russia, almost none use ultra-high power instruments in terrestrial prospecting. Even the most powerful teams manufactured in the West have been designed at China, which underlines the existing technological dependence. A new geopolitical board. China’s ability to identify deep deposits quickly Not only is it a scientific advantage, but also strategic. Control over technology and data places Beijing in a position to mark the rhythm of the discovery of resources in the coming decades. If you want, in a context where the energy transition redefines the global value chains, who controls access to lithium, cobalt and rare earth will control much of the industrial future. With the deployment of Giant antennas and electromagnetic systems Of unpublished power, China is making it clear that it does not intend to participate in the race: its goal is to win it.

Ryanair has put the Spanish province airports in check. Fortunately for them, there is a thing called “capitalism”

by

Spanish airports are living a tremendous snake in recent months, and the absolute protagonist is Ryanair. The Irish airline has been using smaller airports for months, such as negotiating weapon in battle against airport ratesthreatening to leave them lying if their conditions were not met. Threatened … and fulfilled, being Valladolid’s one of the most affected airports. But there Where Ryanair closedother companies have seen a chance. And, as the Minister of Transportation says: “To dead king, king on.” What’s happening. AENA is the public company that is responsible for the management of airports in Spain. A few months ago he announced that, as of March 2026, it would increase airport rates by 6.5%. This implies that the maximum entrance per traveler will go from 10.35 euros to 11.03 euros, a rise of 68 cents. The reaction Ryanair was … sound, so to speak. Through several very public profiles, including that of its controversial CEO, Michael O’LearyThe company described the increase as unjustified, stating that regional airports would be less competitive against other European destinations. In general, the defense of Ryanair is based on affirming that Aena acts as a monopoly when the benefits of travelers and regional connectivity are put. Affected. The manager justifies the climb to the need to face a Investment Plan of about 13,000 million euros with the aim of modernizing the network in the coming years before an expected increase in demand. All this led to the president of AENA and the Ministry of Transportation accused Ryanair of being blackmailing the country. Also accuses To the company to use that increase in rates as an excuse to stop operating in regional airports, moving to the “airports in which they can set higher prices in their tickets to earn more money”. In fact, a pulse can be allowed like this. Ryanair’s response? Trim a Million places Facing the Christmas campaign of this 2025 through the cessation of operations in those regional airports in which the airline was the main mode of connection with other airports. The most affectedin addition to Valladolid, Son Vigo or Santiago de Compostela, but also Tenerife Norte, Asturias, Santander, Zaragoza, Jerez or Vitoria. airport Capacity cuts for winter 2025 & 2026 Santiago Base closure (two less aircraft, 80% less capacity) sherry Closing Valladolid Closing Tenerife Norte Closing Vigo Closing Santander -38% Saragossa Closing Asturias -16% Vitoria -2% Canary Islands -10% Dead king, king. The truth is that Ryanair is one of the most powerful companies at European level, especially in these smaller airports, since its model is the one that allows connections between cities that other companies do not cover. However, his withdrawal of some Spanish airports is not something that worries one of the protagonists of this story: the Minister of Transport and Sustainable Mobility. Óscar Puente defended A few days ago, Ryanair’s march would be compensated with the arrival of other companies. The minister argued that “no company will condition airport policy with threats, underlining That “to dead king, king placed”, and it seems that those new ‘kings’ are already appearing their heads. To attack. It was the bridge itself who announced that airlines as Vueling would “immediately” cover the routes abandoned by Ryanair for this winter, ensuring that he has worked in negotiations with both vs. with other companies to fill that void left by the Irish company. Vueling will reinforce its presence in Santiago and Tenerife Norte, but it is not the only company that has seen an opportunity in this situation. Iberia Express or Wizz Air They also work to cover part of the routes operated by Ryanair. Specifically, from Independent comment which turning will increase its capacity by 15% in Santiago (reaching 578,000 seats) and 11% in Tenerife Norte (900,000 seats). Wizz Air, meanwhile, will open 40 additional routes until March 2026. Another of those who I could enter the game It is volotea, an airline that is focused on connecting small and medium cities that has already collected the Guante of Ryanair’s abandonment of French airports. Because this struggle of Ryanair against rates are also having it in parallel in France. And the train? Of course, Ryanair has put the increase in rates in the center of the debate, but there is something that has been forged in recent years: the expansion of high speed. A few weeks ago we already commented that that of Santiago and Vigo, airports in which the Irish has closed operations, are two cities to which The arrival of high speed is especially affecting. In Asturias There are still complicationsbut new sections are planned that will allow the train to fight the plane soon. And in Zaragoza not only Renfe operates: Ouigo and Iro They joined not so much. Now, where the train is not an option is in the Canary Islands, where Ryanair will reduce 400,000 places in winter, canceling 36 connections. There will be companies such as Vueling, Iberia Express or Binter who will have to demonstrate whether they can operate without travelers missing Ryanair. This next winter will be the fire test. In the end, Ryanair has been able to blackmail Aena (and other European organizations) to some extent, since if he leaves his routes, due to competition, there are other companies that are looking forward to occupying their place.

is called F110 and is ready for any war

by

It has not been any summer for Spain in defense. In August He knew he resigned to around 50 F-35 that the Ministry of Defense had “applauded” with the United States. It was also said that the idea was to bet on European investment In defense. The truth is that Spain has almost ready that will be a source of pride of its Navy. It is called F110 and it is a portent. A new generation. The Bonifaz frigate launchfirst of the Class F110in the shipyards of Navantia in Ferrol, it has marked a milestone for the Spanish Navy and for the country’s own naval industry. With a degree of progress greater than 70% and delivery planned in 2028, the ship opens a series of five units conceived to replace the VETERANAS F80 SANTA MARÍAin turn heirs of American architecture Oliver Hazard Perry of the eighties. F110 represents not only a generational relief, but also a strategic commitment to a versatile design and Highly automatedconceived from the beginning to grow and adapt to new demands. The construction of the other units already advances: the F112 has the keel placed since April 2025 and the blocks of the following frigates are mounted in parallel in the Ferrolan workshops. A flexible ship. From its conception, the F110 was designed as a frigate Antisubmarine war First order, with a technological package that places it among the most advanced in Europe in this field. Incorporates a helmet sonar combined with the powerful Captas-4 Compact Towed of Thales, capable of detecting submarines at a great distance and precisely, in addition to a NH90 helicopter either SH-60 Dedicated to this task, accompanied by a second hangar thought for drones or unmanned systems. All this makes the new class a multiplier of underwater forces, an increasingly relevant field in a context in which Russian underwater activity He has recovered prominence In the North Atlantic. But F110 does not give up other dimensions: it is also a Multipurpose ship with large areas of mission and space to accommodate future teams, which makes it an open platform to technological evolution. The bonifaz frigate launch in Ferrol on September 11 The strategic dimension. One of the most distinctive elements of design is its huge mast, which houses the AN/SPy-7 radar (v) 2 From Lockheed Martin, derived from the long -range discrimination system installed in Alaska. Its high position gives you an exceptional field of vision and makes it a sensor capable of continuing even objects in space. Although the frigate does not carry weapons capable of Intercept ballistic missiles In full flight, your data can feed allied networks, reinforcing NATO antimisile defense and complementing the capacities of Spanish F100, optimized for anti -aircraft war. The integration of this radar with the management system of National Scomba Combat It symbolizes technological cooperation with the United States without giving up its own industrial control, a balance that enhances the strategic autonomy of the Navy. Balanced armament. In terms of aerial defense, F110 surprises with a relatively moderate arsenal compared to its predecessors: two MK 41 modules that house up to 64 Essm Block 2 missileseffective against short and medium range threats. It is a configuration that guarantees local protection and some area coverage, although the door to be integrated into the future Standard family missiles is open, which would expand the defensive scope. In the surface fight, the ship combines the missile Naval Strike Missile of Kongsberg, with a discreet but precise and difficult scope to detect, with a 127 mm cannon in bow, two of 30 mm and light machine guns. To this are added Electronic War Systemscountermeasures, launch of fast boats and a set of sensors that reinforce their role as an escort and as a presence ship in NATO missions or the European Union. International comparisonss. The F110 approach is part of a global trend of Polivalent frigates with anti -submarine emphasis, similar to that of the British Type 26also chosen By Australia, Canada and Norwayoa la American constellationbased on Italian design FREMM. Paradoxically, the US Navy rejected the Spanish proposal of a F100 frigate, opting for the FREMM, and today Pay the consequences with a program that accumulates delays, overweight and cost overruns. In contrast, the Spanish calendar progress promptlywith the bonifaz even advanced to the expected. This industrial discipline reinforces the attractiveness of F110 as a possible export product in an international market that demands versatile, modern and controlled costs. Multiple relevance. If you want also, the Incorporation of the ship War will consolidate the transition from the Navy to a fleet of complementary frigates: The F100 as specialists in area air defense and the F110 as submarine hunters with a sufficient balance in surface and air capabilities. Together, they will offer Spain a strategic combination of media adapted to the challenges of the Atlantic and Mediterranean, while projecting full interoperability with NATO allies. Thus, F110 is not just a new ship: it is the materialization of a national strategy that combines its own technology with international integration, a bridge between tradition and future that, unlike other international programs (Many in trouble), seems to advance with a firm step and could place Navantia in the world showcase as a reference construction company.

May your cat ignore that appetizing food has a scientific explanation. Is called neophobia and it’s life insurance

by

You open one of the littleirs that you have bought your cat and flips with the good f see, it almost makes you want to try it, but when you offer it, all bad. It smells it, looks at you with contempt and leaves. Yes, it has happened to me and I have thought that my cat enjoyed watching me money on food that was not going to eat. Your cat does not hate you, it is its nature. Food neopobia in cats A search on the subject returns hundreds of results of Tutors asking for advice to get their cat to eat something new and tips to get it. The most common are usually cats that reject wet food and They just want to eat their feedwhich is not recommended because it can lead to the dreaded kidney disease. What happens to cats? Neophobia is the fear of something new, in this case new foods. Although food neophabia is not exclusive to cats (It also happens in humans), it is a fairly common behavior in cats and one of the reasons that have made them win the Fame of Sibaritas. It is not a feline whim, it is pure instinct, An adaptation strategy to protect yourself from possible poisoning. It is not a feline whim, it is pure instinct, an adaptation strategy to protect itself from possible intoxication. Beyond the inheritance of its wild ancestors, neophy and domestic cats may appear for other causes and one of them is stress. Cats are very sensitive to changes. In This study They analyzed stress in cats and the consequences it can have on their behavior and health. A stressed cat tends to eat less, but it is also more prone to develop neophobia. If a new meal is offered in a stress situation, it is more likely to reject it. Cat’s food preferences In This complete article of Vet Times magazinedelve into the mechanisms that form the food preferences of cats. In his first months of life he is strongly influenced by his mother’s. In fact, this influence begins even before birth, by transfer of flavors through amniotic fluid and milk. It has been proven That the kittens whose mother ate unusual foods in the cat such as milk or banana, showed inclination for these foods. “Eat it” Genetics only plays a small role, but the food to which the cat is exposed in their first months of life will be decisive when forming their adult preferences. In this sense, a kitten that only eats a type of food is more likely to develop neophobia towards unknown foods, while A more varied diet will become familiar with more flavors and textures. Experience is another decisive factor and is the one that is defining how the cat selects food during your life. For example if they eat something and feel bad, they will create a negative association and will not eat it again. The food to which the cat is exposed in their first months of life are decisive when forming their adult preferences. Of course it also influences palatability, that is to say, how nice the smell, taste and texture find of a specific food. As strict carnivores, they are attracted to protein -rich foods and tend to reject bitter or sweet flavors. In the case of feed addicted cats several factors come together and palatability is one of them. Feed manufacturers have “hacked” the feline palate with flavor enhancers (palatal) to make them more attractive and want to eat it all the time. If we add that we usually have the feed at the disposal of the animal, the habit is reinforced to the point that some cats do not want to eat anything else. In addition, the crunchy texture of the feed further reinforces that preference, making wet food something strange to them. My cat rejects food. What I do? The first, be patient. Getting a cat with a very strong neopobia start eating new foods is a background race. The first step is Get familiar with the new food. In This study He gathered fourteen adult cats that showed neophobia towards a lamb flavor food. What they did was vaporize the smell of food while cats ate their usual food. The result was that neophobia was reduced considerably. I like this. You can start by putting A bowl with wet food by feedso that I associate that it is a safe food. It is important to offer variety, because it can be the case that we are determined to eat a single option and that it turns out that you simply do not like. If your cat does not eat any wet food, there are Nutritionists who advise starting with little cans that are unhealthy. The reason is that they usually have a very attractive and flavoring smell more similar to those of the feed. In this way, it is first familiar with wet food and little by little you can introduce healthier cans. It is also recommended slightly heat the fooddo not give it directly from the fridge because it will almost certainly reject it. To start eating something new, the obvious is important: to be hungry. I think freely is not recommended. To start eating something new, the obvious is important: to be hungry. In this sense, I think freely 24 hours is not the most recommended. You can serve food three or four times a day or use An automatic feeder. Yes indeed, A cat should never be more than a whole day without eating since it can develop Hepatic lipidosis and even die. Each cat is a world and There are many more tricks That you can use, such as soaking or crushing the feed and putting a little on wet food. Also You can use others TOPPINGS like a churu -type liquid snack and sprinkle supplements such as Fortiflora (is a probiotic) or Green lip mussel powder. In Xataka | Genetics offers … Read more

In Japan, the average trains delay is 96 seconds. It is not magic, his secret is called “Paka-Yoke”

by

We are not going to discover anything if we tell you that the high Spanish speed has not lived its best summer. To get an idea, Four out of 10 Renfe trains They have suffered some type of delay. We have had breakdowns, Lost trains during the night and the final tip of the fires. But beyond summer, the truth is that the Spanish road network is giving important symptoms of fatigue. Only last June, The birds arrived with a medium delay of 19 minutes About the scheduled time. In April the figure was almost 21 minutes. According to the published report by the company, of the 9,607 trains that circulated last June, only one in three arrived in time Or they were delayed less than five minutes. We know this because Renfe herself has published it but the breakdowns have also affected the trains of Iryo and Ouigo that have to circulate on the same ways. The data point to two possible reasons. First, Spain begins to give symptoms of having an infradimensive infrastructure to host the arrival of new operators (OUIGO and IRYO) and a Growth sustained in the number of trips. Second, the data warn that not enough has been invested in maintenance and modernization of the roads. It is very likely that the situation we are living is a mixture of both reasons. But a question overwhelm: if in Spain we have problems with three trains companies … how do they work in Japan where six different companies operate? 96 seconds Move by Japan, especially for Honshu (his main island in which cities like Tokyo, Kyoto or Osaka are found) is very simple if you decide on the high -speed train. The frequencies are so bulky and the delays so exceptional that the reliability in the system is absolute. The known as Japan Rail It can, also, be chaos for those who visit the country for the first time, taking into account that even Six companies operate on their lines. However, each of them has its own reserved space so they do not compete on the same roads as it happens in Spain where Renfe has to deal with Iro and Ouigo. Despite this, four of those Six companies (JR East, JR Central, JR West and JR Kyushu) are completely privatized and only two (JR Hokkaido and JR Shikoku) are state -owned. There is, however, a fundamental difference. In Spain, following European orders, the management of the roads falls exclusively on Adif (which was public and also had to be privatized) that charges some canons to companies that want to operate in their railway framework. AND The roads are shared partly between medium distance and high speed trains. In Japan, however, companies manage infrastructure and maintenance of the roads in which they operate but the network of Shinkansenthe famous bullet trains, have a completely separated infrastructure from the rest of the trains and is managed by the Railway Construction, Transportation and Technology Agency of Japan (JRTT). This physical separation allows to reduce the risks (a fault of a slower train does not impact bullet trains) and install systems specifically designed for this type of trains. That has allowed them to evolve the acquaintance concept of Paka-Yoke which can be translated as “failure proof”, referring to the fact that all human decisions are supervised by an exahustive system monitoring system, which shields the network of those possible human errors. This has allowed Japan to be a reference in world high speed. Until Spain and China surpassed the country in railway kilometers of this type of trains, the Japanese country was a leader but it still is in punctuality. In 2024, The average delay in the Tokaid line was 96 seconds. However, systems are designed for trains to enter a margin of 15 seconds at the station. Most of them stop in the first 6 seconds scheduled. Japanese punctuality is an extremely valued quality. Culture forces to ask for public forgiveness when schedules are not fulfilled, sometimes reaching surreal extremes. Like the day that a railway company had to make its face because one of its trains He left the station 20 seconds earlier than expected.

There is a reason why Oracle has become the new beautiful AI girl. That reason is called Project Stargate

by

OpenAI has reached an agreement with Oracle for which it has pledged to hire computing capacity worth $ 300,000 million within five years. The data come from The Wall Street Journalwhere sources close to that agreement cite. The implications are huge. Why is it important. Yesterday Oracle shot in the stock market after announcing that he had had good results, but above all Future income would increase by 359% up to 455,000 million dollars. Although there were suspicions about what could have happened to that extraordinary growth, we now know what happened. And what happened is the Stargate project. The numbers do not fit. The agreement will begin in 2027 and priori seems very risky, especially since OpenAi has no money. Its annual income will be about 10,000 million dollars in 2025, but will have to pay for 60,000 million annually to Oracle to comply with the agreement. Not only that: Oracle will also depend on receiving that income, because now a large part of them will come as a single client. As they point out in WSJ, Oracle is likely to have to borrow to buy the chips necessary to create those data centers that OpenAi will use as part of the agreement. 4.5 GW of calculation power. The contract will make OpenAi access a 4.5 GW computing capacity. It is a way to measure the energy consumption of the center or data centers that will be used to serve the firm’s AI models. The figure is huge, and to put it in perspective, it represents almost 40% of the entire current computing power of Europe, which amounts to 11.9 GW According to IEA. The Stargate Resurge project. The announcement of the Project Stargate, which raises an investment of 500,000 million dollars in data centers for AI, returns to the present. The accounts seem not to leave Despite the recent idyll Between Openai and Softbank, but in July the company of Sam Altman announced that his company and Oracle They had arrived to “an agreement to develop 4.5 additional capacity of capacity in Stargate data centers in the United States.” More bubble indications. The agreement between Openai and Oracle is absolutely huge and confirms that disturbing tendency of the extraordinary expense in data centers that we have been living for months. That figures dance states with the fact that for now all the companies of AI are burning money as if there were no tomorrow And they are far from profitable. That has caused alarms and alerts to be triggered on a IA bubble potential. Microsoft begins to go to the background. The agreement confirms that progressive separation Between Openai and Microsoft, which after the multimillionaire investment of 2023 had become the great technological partner of OpenAI. Each of these companies this now working in their respective plans b. The contract between Openai and Oracle makes that separation of roads once clearer. Doubts about Oracle. This agreement has turned the company into the new beautiful AI girl, but it is not clear if you can fulfill a commitment as ambitious as the one that arises with this contract. To begin with, Oracle has many more debts regarding the money in cash, and its debt ratio on heritage (Debt to Equitiy) is 427%, a very high figure. Microsoft in comparison has 32.7% according to S&P Global Market Intelligence data cited In WSJ. A huge challenge. In addition Microsoft had a cash flow of 136,000 million dollars for the fiscal year that ended this June, while its Capex was 88,000 million dollars. Meanwhile, Oracle had a cash flow of 21.5 billion dollars and its Capex was $ 27.4 billion. Its capex in the coming years will have to shoot, and it is evident that the company has a huge challenge with this project.

There is only a great beneficiary at Ryanair’s departure from regional airports. One called “High Speed ​​Train”

by

Ryanair threatened and fulfilled. As he turned a few months ago. The company confirmed yesterday, September 3, which removes more than one million places from regional airports. In total, its activity will be reduced by 41 % in this type of aerodromes and 10 % of its activity in the Canary Islands will also be affected. The movement has unleashed an wave of indignation among Spanish institutions that qualify the exit as blackmail or extortion. The company, meanwhile, defends itself by ensuring that the increase in Aena’s rates are incompatible with its operations in this type of airports. But what the movement leaves us is the confirmation that regional airports are less and less competitive. A good part of them have based their operations on a huge dependence on the company. And the Good train health It is making operating in them, more and more complicated. A good example is that the company will increase its operations in larger airports. The controversy As we explained yesterday, with its latest Ryanair movement it will reduce 400,000 places in the Canary Islands in winter, being the autonomous community most punished by volume. In total, 36 connections are canceled. It remains to be seen if the flights to the Canary Islands are held by other companies. A good example is the Binter expansion that in recent times it has begun to increase its routes in the connections between peninsular Spain and the islands. In addition, Ryanair has announced the closure of Santiago de Compostela and the suspension of all flights to Vigo as of January 1, 2026. It maintains the closure at the airports of Valladolid and Jerez de la Frontera. And will reduce its operations in Zaragoza (-45 %), Santander (-38 %), Asturias (-16 %) and Vitoria (-2 %). The company attacks Aena and the Government, to whom it accuses of “failing to the Spanish regions, whose airports are almost 70 % empty.” For its part, the airport manager attacks that “the communication and institutional relations policy of Ryanair is guided by Phariseism, bad education and blackmail”, while trying to “falsify reality.” All these words pick them up eldiario.es from the mouth of Maurici Lucena, president and CEO of Aena. The excuse Ryanair has used to abandon or reduce its operations at these airports is at the rise of Aena rates. Those rates are the ones guarantee basic services of airports such as cleaning or safety, to put only some examples. At the moment, there are substantial discounts than in airports with the lowest volume of passengers make them insignificant. On the contrary, where it is paid the most is in the airports of greater volume. That rate has been frozen in recent years but will rise if the CNMC approves it. From the beginning, the company’s opposition has been found. They defend that in countries such as Italy, Morocco or Croatia have been lowered to attract tourism and that, with these increases, “Spain is closing” to the same. A statement that The data denies. According to Aena, The increase is just 68 euro cents By passenger but they put the company that their rates have increased by 21% in the last year. But this is just the surface. Spain is not the only country in which Ryanair has reduced operations. The Irish have also retired more than 700,000 places from the French regional airports. And it is also not accidental that their operations to Morocco travel almost empty. For a long time, the company has exploited institutional advertising to maintain open paths that would not be profitable without these substantial pluses. In fact, that Ryanair trip to Daklha is only explained since The interest that Morocco has in exploiting that areanear the Sahara, as a holiday destination. Ryanair as a symptom And the train as a disease that hurts regional airports. To all of the above we must add the loss in competitiveness of many of the airports of which Ryanair leaves. The company has closed operations in Santiago and reduces its connections in Vigo. Casually there are two cities to which The arrival of high speed is especially affecting. Until not so long ago, the only way to travel quickly between Madrid and Galicia was by plane. Now, the High speed It allows you to reach the center of the capital more or less the same time as you travel by plane. And without the discomforts of this means of transport. In Asturiashigh speed is not yet working in full performance but the opening of new sections (and others on the horizon)place the region in a position where the train, again, will compete with the plane for faster connections. It will remain faster to travel by plane but its connection with Madrid is already competitive by train. What to say about Zaragoza where in recent years Renfe has joined Ouigo and Iroyo. The corridor maintains a hard competition And although the tickets are not the cheapest on the market, the volume of trains is very high and the latest connections already allow Zaragoza to be linked with Galicia in four hours (making transford in Madrid). In addition, the possibilities to get to Seville or Malaga are multiple with the aforementioned Renfe rivals. Eliminate air connections with the main Spanish cities should result in greater use of this means of transport. And from Aena they are clear that reality is “more prosaic.” “Ryanair moves her planes to airports where can set higher prices In their plane tickets and earn more money, such as Great Spanish airports“, despite being” substantially higher, “they insisted on words collected by RTVE. In Santander, where connections with Madrid are not so advanced, four international destinations have been withdrawn (Rome, Milan, Vienna and Paris) but the flights to Valencia and Malaga are maintained. In Santiago, however, connections with other Spanish cities die. And in Vigo he retires from the line he had with London. Casually when the contract ends Between the City Council and the company … Read more
