In Italy, farmers are so fed up with tourists who are installing lathes in the mountains. Literally

by

There are many places where one would expect to find a lathe. In museums, airports, subway stations, libraries, gyms, bathrooms, stadiums … the list is long and wide. But where nobody would probably expect to see an access tourniquet is in The dolomitesthe steep mountains of the Italian Eastern Alps. After all, what does a metallic closure paint in the field? If that question is asked the farmers of Seda The answer is to remove tourists. That is why they have installed a lathe on a busy route in the area An unexpected landscape. Alps have accustomed us to postal landscapes, but not to what can be seen for weeks on one of its most popular paths, the SECEDA ODLE PANORAMIC ROUTEa mountain of the dolomitas located in Val Gardena. In addition to green slopes, steep summits and film sunset, from early July In the area there is a new element that alters the landscape: a metallic lathe, with its bars, its coin slot and A poster in which you can read “Input for the famous Ruta de las Rocas € 5”. And who put it there? A group of local farmers tired of seeing the continuous transfer of tourists in search of photos for Instagram or the best Selfie. The Telegraph Precise that the initiative started from four land owners that crosses the path. It is not just that the area receives thousands of visitors in high season (recently There was talk of 8,000 in a single day), which already exerts remarkable pressure in the environment, is that this influx, They denounce The owners of the plots, arrives accompanied by “damage” to their lands and garbage. “The authorities must understand that while the cable car operators receive large amounts of money due complaint Georg Rabanser, owner of one of the land that crosses the path. Hence the decision to install a lathe with a toll of five euros (children and locals are exempt) and a person who is responsible for controlling access and demanding the payment of the rate. A QUITA AND PUT TORN. The initiative of Italian farmers could stay there if it were not because the lathe unleashed a considerable controversy in the country. A few days after jumping the news, the device I was already canceledwith which the hikers rose again without problem (or tolls) to the Mirador de Odle. Was that the end of the story? No. Yesterday the newspaper Il post He informed that the lathe is again operation with its controversial rate. OBJECTIVE: launch a SOS. Its promoters decided to recover it to achieve what, They assureThey have always sought: to agit consciences between public administrations to seek solutions to the intense flow of tourists, “the abandoned paths and the meadows full of garbage.” “Ours has been a call for help. We expected a call from the provinces authorities. But nothing. We only read communicated in the press, rumors, nothing concrete.” “We have not even received warning letters, so we move on. The province must understand that, while the facilities (tourist) earn a lot concludes Rabanser. The debate, served. The debate of course is served. The owners of the plots through which the path passes allege that their lands suffer the avalanche of tourists, but the situation is much more complex. Italian law allows free access to environments such as Dolomitas, although in the country there are certain placeslike the popular Via dell´amorein Cinque Terre, which charge access rate. In the background there is an even broader debate and with implications that go beyond Seeda: if farmers are allowed to install lathes, the same will be allowed to the owners of other plots crossed by tourist paths? A lathe field? “I do not want the southern tyrol to become a territory of tourniquetes,” insists Carlo Alberto Zanella, from the Italian Alpine Club. “It is unthinkable that every owner of land crossed by routes begin to collect tolls for access.” Torns are not the only way to prevent tourists from damaging the environment. Moreover, the authorities have already hired more forestry to prevent visitors from leaving the trails or using drones. Images | Robert J.

The Italian Carabinieri are fed up with Alfa Romeo Tonale. Alfa Romeo is also fed up with the Carabinieri

by

For many of us, the car is a means of transport and a pleasure when traveling. For security forces, cars They are essential tools In your day to day. Sometimes, also a nightmare, as is the case with the Alfa Romeo Tonale owned by the Carabinieri -the Italian counterpart of the Civil Guard-. And a scandal so large has been mounted that Alfa Romeo threatens to denounce the Carabinieri if they continue to stain their image. Historical relationship. If you have ever been in Italy, you have surely seen that the Alfa Romeo are the cars of the security forces. It has also been seen in films. This relationship It comes from afarof the 50s, to be exact. The security forces needed fast cars and the Alfa Romeo were the chosen ones. Alfa Romeo 1900 became the vehicle of both the police and the Carabinieri. They were fast, agile and easy to drive, which made them ideal cars for that police work. Over the years, fleets have been renewed with new models, some high performance. But in 2023 it was the turn that a SUV occupied the police garages next to the imposing Giulia Quadrifoglio. The Giulia Quadrifoglio The tonale. To the Alfa Romeo Tonale Things are not going well. This SUV did not start well in the market due to Poor sales. It is a car designed to enjoy driving quietly, without being nervous and enjoying a powerful infotainment system. And these concepts are not aligned with police requirements. In June 2023, however, 400 Alfa Romeo Tonale in its hybrid version of 163 hp with 1.5 engine and automatic change were delivered to the Carabinieri. They had been modified with lights, siren, partial armor, police radio and detainee cell, but the motorization is not the most powerful that can be chosen in that family. THE JALEO. They were definitely not happy. This May, the union union that represents part of the Carabinieri has presented a formal complaint Before the prosecutor of the repubblica of Rome alleging that the Tonale is inappropriate for the police service. Your arguments? It is a car with stability problems and road behavior, especially in emergency situations such as high -speed persecutions, does not grab well and the step is not safe on unstable roads. This puts both the safety of the agents and the effectiveness of the missions, but the complaints do not stay there. UNARMA continues to argue cannot “accept that colleagues work in potentially dangerous conditions” and that “it is the duty of the administration to guarantee safe, reliable and fully appropriate vehicles to the operational demands.” And the alpha Romeo Tonale And Stellantis response. Imagine being the brand behind the creation of a car that came to relive a not very prolific segment that runs from Bruces with a security body that will squeeze the car saying that it is unstable and not sure. Well what the brand has done is … counterattack. In a releaseAlfa Romeo responded with the following official note: “Our vehicles comply with the strictest safety standards and are subject to rigorous evaluation tests. Alfa Romeo remains completely available to the authorities for any clarification and reserves the right to defend their image and reputation before the competent bodies.” In the rest of the note they limit themselves to reviewing that historical relationship between the brand and the Carabinieri. In the end, it is a morrocotudo mess that stains a 75 -year relationship that has contributed to that good image of the Alfa Romeo in their native country. But something important here is that, from the brand’s porpholio, the tonale is cheaper than the Stelvio, another SUV, and much more than the giulia (both the standard and the quadrifoglio preferred by the Carabinieri). We will see what happens, since the National Secretary of Unarma ends the statement stating that they will not stop “until everything that happened is clarified.” Images | PetrachpStellantis In Xataka | The controversy of the 380 unemployed electric cars: what do we know about the Civil Guard and the lack of loaders

People are fed up with Skincare’s thousand steps so the last Beauty trend is just one thing: exosomes

by

A couple of years ago, beauty routines passed through multiple steps that combined tonic, essences, serums, acids and mists, among other things. Today, some extreme trends such as “Morning Sheds” – as viral routines involving masks and adhesive tapes to mold the face – they have shown that perhaps the issue of the Skincare too far. Faced with this exhaustion, social networks They are driving A new approach: do less, but better. And within this more minimalist beauty philosophy, a word begins to resonate: exosomes. More than a new trend. According to The Spanish Society of Aesthetic Medicine and some specialized publications such as Elleexosomes have become a revolution within the beauty sector. The hashtag #Exosomas on Instagram exceeds 51.5 thousand publications, and in English, #Exosome already accumulates more than 247,000. Also its popularity does not stop growing in Tiktok, where creators like @ROGERWHO has shared His experience: “It hurts, but the change in my face is unique.” But the boom has a name and surname. If something characterizes beauty products is that the boom is born with the Celebrities: Kim Kardashian, Lindsay Lohan, Sofía Vergara, Jennifer Aniston or Paris Hilton have already tried them. Here in Spain names such as Úrsula Corberó, Blanca Suárez, Jessica Goicoechea or Berta Vázquez have also declared fans. And finally, social networks have made the rest: Videos of the post-treatment “glow”, Real results (not sponsored), and A new narrative focused on taking care of the skin from its base. An aesthetic medicine revolution? Exosomes are small vesicles generated by stem cells (human, animals or vegetables) that act as cell messengers: they transport protein, lipids and genetic material with the mission of regenerating, repairing and improving the skin from within. Such as Glamor Spain has collectedthey function as “natural cellular activators”, capable of improving skin quality, stimulating collagen and elastin, and returning firmness, elasticity and light. Dr. Lidia Maroñas, dermatologist and Clinical Director of Ooneskinmed, has detailed Thus for Hola magazine: “They act as if they spoiled the cell. They are indicated how to behave to improve the skin. In our clinic we use E-50 Primacure exosomes, from salmon cells grown in bioactive media of dermis.” Where to perform the treatment? Although there are already products with exosomes to use at home, clinic treatments remain the most powerful. In medical and aesthetic centers, exosomes are vehicle with advanced apparatus (microneedling, fractional laser, radiofrequency with needles or morpheus 8), which allows them to penetrate in the deepest layers of the dermis and multiply their regenerative action. Besides, According to Elle SpainThey are integrated with other techniques such as LASH, especially useful for treating scripts, stretch marks or sensitized skins. A Hype more or a real change? Unlike other viral products, exosomes not only generate noise in networks, they also have clinical and dermatological support. Since the like They have explained that its use is consolidating within aesthetic medicine as one of the main collagen stimulators, even more promising than classic treatments such as polynucleotides or growth factors. In addition, they have an extra advantage and that they do not depend on the season to prepare or repair the skin against sun damage. In a world obsessed with doing more, we will see how this new beauty routine adapts where it is less, time will say it.

Fed of excess speed on her street, a Frenchman did the only thing she could do: install a false radar

by

This 2025 will be installed more than 120 new radars in Spain. The location of fixed radars is not a secret and can be easily consultedbut the objective is clear: that the drivers respect the speed limits. There are some who have no machinery And they are only as a deterrent. And, appealing to that deterrence, a Frenchman tired of speeding on a road from his town placed a homemade radar. A shabby, plastic and that has ended up being effective. So much that has even caught the attention of the mayor. The radar. In France they have several guys of fixed radars. They are huge black or gray boxes with a yellow and black tape, but one of them is cylindrical and has technology capable of distinguishing between vehicles and lanes. Thus, it captures the speed of trucks and vehicles separately in case both types come out in the photo. That is the one that is anonymous neighbor of a town called Bezannes has decided to imitate. On January 22, Jean Monnet Avenue, limited to 30 km/h, dawned with a new radar. The City Council had not reported its presence, but there was, imposing, in the median of an area with a high volume of traffic. Its design was exactly the same as HGV radars, with the imitation of the two windows for the sensors, so the neighbor created it conscientiously to pass through a real one. Security: 1, Cost: 0. One of the people who ran into him recognized It shows that it is false, but also that, from a distance, “one might think that it is a real radar.” He also confessed that he was surprised the first time he saw him and raised his foot from the accelerator because “no one leads at that speed” and that he does not understand the limit. Bezannes is a fairly small town, of just over 1,200 inhabitants, but the avenue connects with the city of Reims, a much larger with about 180,000 inhabitants to the northeast of the country. Therefore, that connection avenue has a high traffic volume, but a limit speed of 30 km/h. Before it was 50 km/h, but as in Spain, they decided to limit the speed due to the presence of two pedestrian crossings. Of the mayor’s taste. Who liked the idea was, perhaps, the most unexpected. The morning of that day, the police had already seen that there was an element that should not be there and informed the mayor. Your reaction? “It’s quite well done.” The mayor, Dominique Potar, completed his argument wondering if he was a work of a joker or a conscious citizen who wanted to contribute to security in his own way, but that was something that did not change the result of the action. “Perhaps, we should even congratulate him because he has had a real impact on traffic,” he said. The results seem obvious, since Potar said that, in the area, there were times that the speed was exceeded in 100 km/h what was allowed, so they installed Badenes that managed to reduce it, but that it is not yet enough and there are times that there are times that They place spy radars, which serve to measure those infractions, but that are not useful as a deterrent method. To the ground, of course. Potar joked that “perhaps we should place it in another place in the city”, but not everyone took this joke or action of a neighbor tired of traffic as something as positive. Proof of this is that, soon after, the radar ended on the ground because someone had tried to destroy it. The legality of false radars. As much as it may be, and although the radar was quite shabby, it is evident that it has fulfilled its goal by pointing out that we are going very fast and that we only respond when we touch our pocket. Now, the most curious thing is that this of false radars is not so weird. In fact, in France, any You can put one at home. They do the neighbors who live in areas where the speed is high and fight to try to stop it. There are examples of radars such as the one placed in Bezannes, but also others like a camouflaged mailbox as if it were a radar. According to its owner, it works, but it has already had to screw it because they have thrown it on occasion. There are also some Much elaborate that also seem, clearly, a real radar, with cameras, flash and everything.
