Low salt diets were our ally to control blood pressure. We had been overlooking the importance of banana

by

Sodium and potassium are two key elements for the functioning of our body, one sometimes interconnected to the point of serving one as a counterweight of the other. The excess sodium that we associate with high blood pressure leads many to control their salt consumption. On the other hand, if there is a food that we associate with potassium this is banana. Although not the only remarkable one. Less salt … or more bananas. A study based on mathematical models He has found Tests that increasing potassium consumption can be even more effective than reducing sodium consumption when our goal is to regulate our blood pressure. This can help us increase the dietary options of people at risk of cardiovascular diseases. “Usually, when we have high blood pressure, we are recommended to eat less salt,” Explain in a press release Anita Layton, co -author of the study. “Our research suggests that adding more foods rich in potassium to your diet, such as bananas or broccoli, can have a greater positive impact on your blood pressure than just cut the sodium.” Electrolytes Both sodium and potassium function and electrolytes In our body, that is, substances that help our body conduct electrical signals, but that also fulfill other functions such as regulating the amount of water in our body or the level of acidity in the blood. Calcium, magnesium or phosphorus are other elements that enter this category. The sodium Specifically, it plays an important role in maintaining the volume of the blood fluid under control. Under normal conditions, if our body detects an excess of sodium or an excess volume in the extracellular medium, it reacts excreting sodium to return to normal. The lack of potassium is has related with greater difficulty in controlling the risks derived from sodium in our body. A mathematical model. The connection is well described in the scientific literature but the complexity of the biological mechanisms involved makes it difficult to estimate the magnitude of this connection between sodium, potassium and blood pressure. To estimate it, a team of researchers from the University of Waterloo, in Canada, has created a mathematical model that allows you to quantify this connection. The new model managed to identify how the potassium to sodium ratio consumed affects the body. The model takes into account aspects that affect this relationship such as sex or age. The team observed, for example, that, although men are more easily in an increase in blood pressure, they also respond to a greater extent to the increase in the proportion between potassium and sodium. The details of the study were published In an article In the magazine American Journal of Physiology-Renal Physiology. Evolutionary question. As explained by the team responsible for the study, evolution has been able to have a great impact on how these elements affect us. They point out that, during the recent evolutionary history of the human being, the presence of fruits and vegetables in our diet has been high, so it is natural that the regulatory systems of our body depend in such a degree of nutrients that these give us. Contemporary Western diets are, however high in sodium and low potassium. This could explain, they point out, why blood pressure problems are so prevalent in industrialized countries. Not only bananas. We usually associate potassium to bananas but these are not the only foods that this nutrient contributes. Among the foods that They stand out for their contribution in potassium They are vegetables such as spinach, tomatoes, avocados and brocoli; legumes such as beans, lentils and soy; The potatoes. Among the products of animal origin are some dairy products, and fish such as phatan, salmon and Verdel. In Xataka | Banana must die (and only science can resurrect it) Image | Pixabay

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.

How a German submarine cable is threatening to change energy control in Spain

by

European energy infrastructure is one of the more interconnected in the worldone in seven electricity units It is marketed through terrestrial and submarine cables. However, electrical networks They need more connections and improvements to guarantee stability and energy safety. Now, a German company has decided to challenge the monopoly structure of Spain. German initiative. The Europe Link Development Company has proposed Apollo-Link, a project to create underwater interconnection between Spain and Italy. From the project page They have explained that it is an alternative to continue promoting networks in Europe and more in A context of energy crisis. In this way, the initiative would allow Italy to reduce its energy dependence and take advantage of the renewable energy of Spain. Connection so far. Currently, the interconnection of Spain with the rest of the EU countries is done through France, except with Portugal. The Spanish electricity grid has exclusivity in the transport of electricity, so the German project will challenge the monopoly structure. However, there are exceptions for private international interconnection projects that can be described as “Merchant Lines”. Merchant Lines. European legislation allows third parties outside of transport networks (TSOS) to develop international interconnections under the “Merchant Lines” regime, which is eximicated from the regulations of the Spanish electricity sector. However, these projects must meet certain requirements, and the technical-economic viability of the interconnection must be demonstrated. Despite the possibility of these private projects, the TSO always have preference to execute projects that conform to the official network planning. Economic impact. As The economist has been able to have accesswithin the energy sector they have warned about the implications of this project. While Italy would benefit from Spanish renewable energy, on the other hand Spain would experience an increase in electricity prices due to the greater exchange with other countries. The negotiation of economic terms and the distribution of benefits and costs will be crucial to avoid disadvantages for the country, as already It happened in full crisis of 2022. In addition, before the implementation of the project, thorough studies must be carried out to evaluate its impact on the networks of both countries. What will it consist of? Europe-Link Development has mentioned which seeks to facilitate the exchange of electricity between Spain and Italy. The objective is to link the electrical systems of both countries through an underwater cable of 660 kilometers and an exchange capacity of 2,000 MW. However, it is in a preliminary phase and needs the approval of the managers of the electrical networks of Spain and Italy, Electric and Terna, respectively.

The control of the “blue line”

by

About a week ago it began to appear in specialized media a war legend that is repeated from time to time: the United States has a kind of Offer switch of the artillery that sells to the rest of the planet. The virality of the story was such that Washington has had to go out. Faced with lose miles of dollars now that Europe Talk about rearmathe nation has denied having something similar to that button in its F-35. The reality is that it does, although otherwise. Europe and the exclusion of the US. To understand why the rhetoric of a hunt is important we must expand the geopolitical map. The European Union has launched the ambitious plan “European Defense Readiness 2030”With the aim of strengthening its defense autonomy, and does so through a significant Increased military spending and a drastic expansion of its industrial capacity to produce local weapons. The initiative arises in a context of growing distrust of the United States, motivated by the signs of a strategic distancing from Europe, the volatility in the supply of weapons and the Trump decisions They have generated alarm among the allies. No doubt, this European turn towards arms protectionism could leave the United States out of billions of dollars in weapons sales contracts, as the new scheme exclusively prioritizes EU member countries and certain close partners, explicitly excluding both the United States and the United Kingdom. Ukraine turned on the fuse. The decision is influenced, among other things, by the abrupt arms and intelligence towards Ukraine during Trump’s mandate, which has generated concerns about the reliability of the American commitment. But there are more, since many of The reports that they have been moving these weeks have generated alarm by suggesting that the United States could have the ability to remotely deactivate armament high -tech as The F-35a fear fed by the operational dependence of these systems regarding the logistics, maintenance and software networks controlled by US contractors. The “truth” of F-35. We tell it A week agobut we are going to expand the abilities that the United States has on the functions of the hunt. Both the Pentagon and Lockheed Martin herself They have categorically denied The existence of A “Kill Switch” (off button) in the F-35 that allows to deactivate it remotely, however, the operational reality of the system equivalent functionally to the same. The F-35 global supply chain in 2018 (important: Turkish companies are currently not participating in the program) As? The logistics structure, maintenance requirements and, above all, proprietary software dependence It makes no country fully operate the F-35 without the constant support of the United States. This restlessness, which began as a rumor in defense circles, has climbed to such an extent that the F-35 Joint Program (JPO) and Lockheed Martin were forced to Issue official statements To placate international concern, stating that all operators have the necessary capacities thanks to “well established agreements.” Again, these statements undoluntarily underline The central problem: The plane is not autonomous for those who buy it, and it only flies if the United States wants to do so. A closed and controlled ecosystem. The F-35 is not just a combat plane, but a PSophisticated software canoformhighly dependent on a global support network controlled from the United States. Its operation It depends on systems such as Alis (Autonomic Logistics Information System) and its successor Odin (Operational Data Integrated Network), tools that not only manage maintenance and logistics, but also handle Critical information such as the Mission Data Files (MDF). It is not a trivial theme. These files define from threat parameters to detection flight routesthrough the fusion of sensors and the electronic war. To get an idea, if a country loses access to Odin or stop receiving updates from its MDF, the F-35 remains practically useless or severely degraded in their operational capabilities. This makes any buyer the closest to a technological hostage of the United States unable to maintain total control of their fleet. The perfect example is understood with the so -called “blue line.” The blue line. As we said, that “data package” of missions planning is a key factor for the survival of F-35. In fact, all this translates into a control of the called as “blue line” (The aircraft route to an enemy zone) projected by the system, which is based on the combination of numerous factorsfrom enemy air defense bubbles to the capabilities of stealth and electronic warfare of the aircraft, as well as the sensors and armaments on board, and the tactics integrated between the F-35 and other assets. It is, at least, one of the most powerful weapons of the F-35, possibly the one that most. In other words, without the absolute control of the blue line, the combat plane and its pilot have little to do when they reach enemy areas, becoming vulnerable to detection and demolition. A system designed for independence. All this leads us to a very simple simile. The logic behind the design of the F-35 is comparable to that of technological products such as the iPhone or the Tesla: complex, closed systems, whose repair or update is deliberately centralized. This implies that every time a critical component is damaged or an update is required, it is necessary resort to US contractors or personnel trained under American standards. In addition, the supply chain involves more than 1,400 suppliers throughout the nation And only 80 in other eleven countries, which demonstrates the absolute dominance of the American industry over the product, even in its exported versions. Billions at stake. With this map of the hunt we can get an idea of ​​the importance of the “trust” of the buyers. In essence, an authentic Fortuna for Washington in a global geopolitical context as unstable as unpredictable. Plus: Donald Trump’s choice, his antiglobalist rhetoric and his questioning of alliances such as NATO aggravated distrust. Governments begin to ask how sure their investment in a system that cannot be completely controlled and … Read more

Now the app has given them more control over their children’s accounts

by

Tiktok has established itself as una of the most popular applications Among adolescents. Although it is presented as a harmless platform, Full of dancessongs and Life Hacksmore and more voices warn about their possible negative effects on the youngest. Some studies point to an increase in cases of depression and eating disorders, while many parents They express their concern for the time their children spend doing Scroll non-stopneglecting other activities of your day to day. New tools for parents. The Tiktok social network, owned by the Chinese firm Bytedance, has announced New functions aimed at better protecting adolescents. These include the possibility that parents or guardians establish daily and customizable time limits. For example, it is possible to configure a maximum of 30 minutes during the week and expand that time during the weekend. Once the limit is reached, the application will be blocked automatically, and can only be unlocked with a code held by the responsible adult. 11 tricks to dominate Tik tok These tools not only allow to adjust the time of use to each specific case, but also offer parents the option to block the app at any time: during a family meal, school hours or when they consider it appropriate. In addition, they can see who follows their children, who are still and who has blocked them. Soon, the company states, a function will also be enabled so that adolescents can notify their parents every time they denounce a content they consider inappropriate. Parental Control in Tiktok: How to activate new tools for parents. Once the parental control tools are known, many parents will want to know how to activate them to manage the use that your children make of Tiktok. The process is not complicated and only requires fulfilling some basic steps. The first thing is that the father or legal guardian must have a Tiktok account. From there, you must enter your profile (below right), touch the three -line menu icon and access Settings and privacy. Within that section you will find the section Family synchronization. Tiktok will ask if it is the legal tutor. If the child has his mobile by hand, just scan a QR code from that device. If not, you can send an invitation through WhatsApp, Instagram, text messages or any other channel. Once sent, there are 48 hours to accept the link and complete the link. When both accounts are synchronized, the adult, in addition to those mentioned, may establish daily limits of use, control who can contact the minor and decide whether their account is public or private. The above tools. As we said, Tiktok has already launched the new parental control tools in much of the world. However, the users themselves, including adolescents, already had some control options for a long time. Among them stands out the function Time on screenwhich allows you to establish pauses in the use of the FEED of videos and configure reminders to go to sleep. These options can be activated from Settings and privacy > Time on screen. Images | Tiktok In Xataka | The videos of AI have broken the Instagram and Tiktok algorithms.

A Falcon 9 rocket rented without control over Poland. Poland has now fired the dome of its space agency

by

The fall of several remains of A Falcon 9 rocket from Spacex in Poland He has caused another fall weeks later: that of the president of the Polish Space Agency, fulminated by the government of his country. A little context. In the early hours of February 19, the second stage of a Falcon 9 rocket, which had failed by exorbiting two weeks before, rented without control in the earth’s atmosphere. The 13.8 meters long propeller by 3.66 meters in diameter disintegrated over northern Europe. The fragments that survived the heat of the reentry They fell near the city of Poznan. A meter and average length tank, covered with carbon fiber, hit the enclosure of an electrical material warehouse without causing damage. A warehouse employee gave the police to the police. The initial answer. The next day, the Polish Space Agency (PoSA) said he had reportedly informed various institutions of the Polish government about the incident. His space security department said, always monitor threats of artificial space objects, such as rockets. Spacex exorbitous normally the Falcon 9 on the ocean, far from populated areas. In this case, a technical failure after the deployment of the Starlink 11-4 mission on February 2 made the second stage of the rocket You will not be able to meet your engine To re -enter controlled. The rocket spin around the earth until entering the atmosphere due to gravity and atmospheric braking. He did it on February 19 at 4:43, Poland time. Contradictions. The appearance of several fragments of Falcon 9 in different parts of Poland triggered an internal crisis. Krzysztof Paszyk, the Minister of Polish Development and Technology, went out to contradict Posa, stating that the Polish Space Agency had not informed the authorities as he said, and asking for urgent explanations to the president of Polsa, Grzegorz Wrochna. On February 28, Pols European Spaceflight. To further complicate things, on March 2 Polsa suffered a cyber attack that forced her to disconnect her Internet systems until day 5. The dismissal. Finally, on March 11, the Ministry of Development and Technology of Poland officially announced the dismissal of the president of Polsa, Grzegorz Wrochna. The president was fired for inappropriate management of the uncontrolled fall of remains of Falcon 9 over Poland. For his part, Spacex clarified that I was collaborating with the Poland government in the tasks of recovery and cleanliness, and that there were no toxic materials present in the remains. The company has a specific phone and email to inform the remains of its rockets: 1-866-623-0234 and recovery@spacex.com.

TSMC is willing to take control of Intel chips factories. What you don’t want is to do it alone

by

The administration led by Donald Trump has asked TSMC to help rescue intel semiconductor factories. This is at least what media support almost always as well informed as Reuters either SCMP. If so, This initiative of the US government It changes everything. If the Trump administration did not agree with this strategy, its viability would be very small, but its support invites us to take this possibility very seriously. According to these TSMC media, it is preparing a proposal that will present both Intel and the US government to take control of Integrated circuit production plants of this American company. However, this Taiwanese chips manufacturer does not want to face this solo challenge; He prefers to do it with other companies that presumably also interested in participating in the management of Intel factories. According to the sources of ReutersTSMC managers are talking to their Nvidia, AMD, Broadcom and Qualcomm counterparts with the purpose of constituting a joint company that is responsible for plant management. TSMC would not have a participation in any case greater than 50% in this Joint Venture. At the moment there has been no official confirmation that supports these negotiations, but at the current situation this information is very credible. In any case, this plan will not come to fruition if it does not have the approval of the Donald Trump government. Some Intel relevant employees want to keep control of factories Ben Sell, Vice President of Intel Technology Development, confirmed At the end of last September that the 18A node already has the maturity necessary to enter large -scale production in 2025. and also assured that it will benefit from the resources that have been reallocated since the 20A node. In the current scenario the 18A node will be the true protagonist. In fact, and this is really important, Intel has confirmed which will receive a maximum of 3,000 million dollars within the framework of the ‘Chips and Science Act’ program to manufacture semiconductors for the US government in a reliable way. Lithography 18a is the best opportunity that Intel has to resume direction and improve its competitiveness The name of this plan, “Safe Enclave”, reflects one of the requirements required by the Administration: Chips must occur in the strictest confidentiality. And, as we can intuit, these integrated circuits They will be manufactured in the 18A node. This integration technology is definitely the best opportunity that Intel has to resume course and improve its competitiveness. In fact, voices are being raised within the company itself that demand a little patience to give this node the opportunity to place Intel on the path of recovery. This statement by Joseph Bonetti, main manager of Intel engineering programs, expresses this vision very well: “Intel leaders, Board of Directors of Intel and Donald Trump administration, please do not sell or give the control of Intel Foundry to TSMC just when Intel is taking the technological front and starting to take off. It would be a terrible and demoralizing error.” Bonetti also maintains that Intel is not lagging for its competitors, and that the advances that their engineers are achieving in the field of chips production are very important. At the current situation there is no doubt that the 18A integration technology is the best Intel asset to recover health, but it is important that we do not overlook that its technicians have been calibrating more than a year and adjusting their first teams of lithography of extreme ultraviolet (UVE) and haute opening manufactured by ASML. Intel has them in its Hillsboro (USA) plant. The first tests with this machine presumably They made them at the end of 2024and in 2025 the preliminary tests that pursue to manufacture integrated circuits in the 14A node will begin. It sounds exciting. We will follow the track to this machine very closely to keep you aware of all progress.

Parental control depends on a subscription

by

It is Sunday, February 2, and that means one thing: that the Mobile World Congress begins. The doors have not yet been opened, but the brands have begun to make presentations. One of them is Global HMD. The brand, which until relatively little manufactured nokia mobilesnow signs the smartphones with their own name, HMD, and it has been seen in the city to launch a new batch of products. One of them is a mobile for young people. And yes, it comes tied to a subscription. HMD Fusion X1. That is the name that HMD has given its new terminal, a device that has been developed in collaboration with Xplora. This brand may be familiar, since it is known for its Smart Watches with GPS for children. The company has not revealed its specifications or mentioned anything about the price, but it has commented that its key point (parental control) depends on a monthly payment. HMD Fusion X1 | Image: Xplora Parental control (payment). Leaving aside the technical characteristics, the Quid of this terminal resides in the Xplara subscription, whose price starts from 4.99 euros per month. According to HMD, this subscription “offers parents a total control over the experience of use of the smartphone of their teenage children (…) while offering a device for which young people can be excited.” What does it include? In HMD’s words, for 4.99 euros a month, parents can customize access to the internet applications. According to the company, this “allows parents to choose to restrict social networks and internet navigation or limit them.” Likewise, continuous monitoring of the location in intervals of 20 seconds with safe areas, emergency calls, low battery alerts and remote access to the device for parents is included. HMD Fusion X1 | Image: Xplora A “school mode” has also been added that “guarantees that distractions are reduced to a minimum during school hours blocking specific applications and functions when necessary.” All that, of course, can be controlled remotely from the parents’ phone. And more security. HMD has also announced a collaboration with Safetoneta system that offers “offers protection on the device based on artificial intelligence, automatically detecting and blocking the harmful content before it reaches the user, without depending on external applications that can be eluded.” This will be released in summer, thus being the first brand to do so.

The US is about to get all the minerals he wanted from Ukraine. The problem is that half control them

by

In the terms in which it seems that the United States wants to end the war, Ukraine does not seem to have much to win in A peace agreement with Russia. Except if he brought out his rare earth reserves, those minerals that presume that he counts in large quantity. So much so, that, in 24 hours it is expected that Ukraine firm an agreement of cooperation with the Trump administration with minerals as protagonists. There is more than one problem. The agreement. The president of Ukraine, Volodymyr Zelensky, will meet this Friday with his American counterpart, Donald Trump, in Washington to sign an agreement that gives the United States access to mineral resources Strategic Ukraine. Although Zelensky hopes that this pact will serve as a basis for future negotiations, he has recognized that does not include security guarantees concrete by the United States despite the fact that kyiv had insisted on this point during negotiations. Trump, meanwhile, has justified the agreement as a way that US taxpayers recover part of Help funds sent To Ukraine (the Biden administration raised the investment to More than 100,000 million dollars in assistance), arguing that the responsibility of Ukrainian security should fall in Europe. The terms. While the final details are still unknown, the Ukrainian prime minister, Denys Shmyhal, confirmed that both parties have agreed a preliminary version of the pact. According to this, it will be established An investment fund for the reconstruction of Ukraine, which will be jointly managed by kyiv and Washington on equal terms. Ukraine will contribute 50% of future income generated by their state natural resources, including minerals, oil and gas, and these funds will be reinvested in projects within the country. In this regard, a draft Obtained by the New York Times It suggests that the United States will have the greatest amount of participation allowed in the fund according to its legislation, although You will not have absolute control. Previously, Trump had demanded that Ukraine yield resources for Value of 500,000 million dollars As compensation for military and economic assistance received, but this point has been discarded in the final version. There are no guarantees. One of the most controversial aspects of the agreement is the lack of a formal security commitment by the United States. Zelensky insisted on the inclusion of a reference to security guarantees, although the final version only mentions that the United States “Support Ukraine efforts to obtain necessary guarantees for lasting peace.” No doubt, this does not imply a direct military support or specific commitments in case of Russian aggression. What Trump says. The President has declared that the United States will not provide security guarantees “beyond what is necessary” and that the protection of Ukraine It must fall on Europe. However, he pointed out that the presence of US workers in Ukrainian territory would provide “automatic security”, suggesting that investment in natural resources would deter Russia of attacking these strategic sites. He also said that the United States will continue to provide armament and ammunition to Ukraine “until an agreement with Russia is reached.” Why do minerals matter. We have told it before. Ukraine houses approximately 5% of world reserves of critical minerals, including graphite, titanium, lithium and rare earths, essential for the production of batteries, weapons, wind turbines and advanced technology. Thus, the United States, which seeks reduce its dependence on China In key materials for green technology and defense, see in Ukraine a strategic opportunity. According to The Ukraine Geological Service itselfthe country is one of the richest in the world in essential resources for energy transition and military industry. The problem: half are Russian. The main stumbling block that Ukraine has in the negotiation is that, paradoxically, almost half of its mineral reserves They are on land occupied by Russia Since the invasion in 2022, which has complicated access to these resources. We talk about something else 40% of these resources. To get an idea, the Minister of Economy of Ukraine, Yulia Svydenko, said that mineral resources in territories under Russian control They amount to 350,000 million dollars. In addition, the extraction of these minerals faces a greater obstacle: it is estimated that 25% of the Ukrainian territory is contaminated with land minesespecially in the east of the country, which hinders the development of mining projects without an adequate demin strategy. According to the Halo Trust organization, the nation has 150,000 contaminated square kilometers With these explosives. The Russian counteroffet. Not just that. In a twist of events, and knowing the negotiations, Vladimir Putin has declared in A televised interview that Russia is willing to offer to the United States access to your own mineral resourcesincluding, of course, those located in the occupied Ukrainian territories. In fact, he emphasized that Russia has “significantly more resources of this type than Ukraine” and that he is ready to attract foreign partners to exploit them in the so -called “new regions”in reference to the areas of Ukraine attached by Moscow. Moreover, Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov, fell importance to Zelensky’s visit to Washington and suggested that the final content of the agreement is not yet at all clear. Putin, meanwhile, mentioned the possibility of collaborate with the United States In the production of aluminum in Siberia, which would indicate an attempt of Moscow for interfering with the negotiations between kyiv and Washington and offering a more viable alternative for the United States. The challenge of access to resources. It is the last of the obstacles with respect to minerals. Despite its enormous potential, the exploitation of these resources Face significant difficulties. As we said, the Russian invasion has left Ukraine without access to much of its mineral reserves, particularly in occupied regions such as Donetsk and Zaporiyia. But, in addition, the country’s infrastructure has remained severely damaged After three years of conflict, which complicates the extraction and transport of materials. An uncertain future. Thus, the agreement that will be carried out in 24 hours is full of edges for Ukraine. … Read more

A Polish called the police for a fallen tank from heaven. It is from a spacex rocket that rented without control in Europe

by

The second stage of a Falcon 9 rocket of Spacex rented last night without control over Europe, illuminating the sky of several Central European countries with flashes as they burned in the atmosphere. Not all the rocket disintegrated. This morning they found a deposit in Poland. Night show. From Germany, From Denmark, From Poland itself. They were not even 5 in the morning, but on social networks they began to appear videos of the Metal remains Burning with drama in the night sky of central Europe. Atmospheric resentments are a show that we are increasing 13.8 meters long by 3.66 meters in diameter. A tank fell in Poland. It is not usual for a Spacex rocket to resent without control, so it is even less common for him to do so in a place as densely populated as Europe. But the rocket did not disintegrate completely and part of the remains fell, without causing damage, on the outskirts of Poznań, a city of half a million inhabitants west of Poland. At 9:20 in the morning, an employee of an industrial plant He warned the police that an object had “fallen from heaven” in its facilities. It was a pressure tank coated with carbon fiber (COPV) identical to the one that appeared on a Washington farm in 2021. Trajectory of the reentry of the rocket on Europe according to astrophysicist Jonathan McDowell On that occasion, it was confirmed that it was A helium deposit of the second stage of a Falcon 9. The object, of a meter and a half of length, is pressurized to 400 bars and is capable of resisting extreme conditions, including the reentry. In the Washington farm left a crater of 10 centimeters deep on the earth, a sample of the speed at which he re -entered the atmosphere. It was a rocket failure. Spacex is the Ryanair of Space, the company that launches most rockets with a difference: two to three per week. Does this mean that we will have to go out with a helmet to the street? Not necessarily. Like most rockets (China has notorious exceptions), The second stage of the Falcon 9 fuel reserve to exorbitite on the ocean with a motor re -desence once the load is deployed. In this case, the remains that fell on Europe are due to a technical failure in the launch of the Starlink 11-4 mission, which He failed to readece his engine to exorbitar on February 2. The rocket spin around the earth to enter the atmosphere naturally due to gravity. He did it on February 19, 3:43 UTC, in a trajectory extended to Ukraine and that coincides with the remains found in Poland.
