The “eternal chemicals” are already everywhere. And that includes one of our favorite places: Spanish wine

by

The “eternal chemicals” have become a hot issue. These chemicals are widely used in a variety of contexts but their increasingly common presence in the environment worries both environmentalists and the health sector. And for now we know little about the possible impact of these substances on the health of people and in ecosystems. “Eternal” chemicals in wine. A study by the environmental association European bread(PHASE Action Network Europe) He has warned of the presence in the European wine of one of the substances we usually refer to as “eternal chemicals”: trifluoroacetic acid. PFAS and TFA. PFAS are the acronym with which we often refer to the category of perfluoroalized and polyfluoralized substances. It is a family of synthetic molecules (there are about 4,700 compounds of this type) that stand out for resistance that imbues the union between fluorine and carbon atoms. These compounds They are useful For example, in the manufacture of non -stick objects, but they can also be found in pesticides, containers or hygiene products. This is a molecular union Extremely stabledoes not react to external agents so it is extremely difficult to make these substances decompose, either by natural processes or otherwise. That is why these substances tend to accumulate in nature and, potentially, in our body. Interestingly, one of the problems with these substances is in one of the products as a result of the decomposition of the PFAS, the trifluoroacetic acid (TFA). This is precisely the “eternal chemist” on which the new study has focused. 49 wines. The analysis It began with a dozen Austrian wines of relatively old vintages and was expanding to include more recent crops and other countries. In total, 49 wines were analyzed, including at least one produced in Spain. They observed that wines prior to 1988 They did not contain traces of TFAbut that from that year the concentrations were increasing, first little by little and, as of 2010, significantly. The average concentrations in the vines of vintages between 2021 and 2024 was 122 µg/l, although peaks of up to 300 µg/l were detected. Although the phenomenon extended throughout Europe, the team indicated that Austrian wines were the most affected. Other Detail highlighted By the association it was the correlation between the concentrations of TFA and waste of synthetic pesticides. Ecological production The study of European bread He noted that ecological production wines also did not get rid of the presence of these substances, although it is true that they showed some concentrations less than those found in other wines. To what extent are a risk? Today we do not know for sure the effects of “eternal chemicals” on our health, but there are some indications that allow us to get an idea of ​​these possible effects. TFA has been linked, for example, problems for Fertility; But other compounds of this family have also been related to immune problems and even a greater risk of cancer.

There is a revival of the two thousand aesthetics in Tiktok. And that includes something that has alarmed the EU: extreme thinness

by

Social networks They have become In the main mirror of society, reflecting obsessions and beauty ideals. If less than ten years ago It was celebrated The rise of the “postive body” movement, which fought for the inclusion and acceptance of all kinds of bodies, the current reality It seems to go back until the beginning of the century. What seemed to be a closed stage has revived under a new format that is worrying experts, governments and digital platforms: the phenomenon Skinnytok. The viral trend. The hashtag #Skinnytok accumulates more than 57,000 videos in Tiktok, in which young girls appear mainly giving advice on how to lose weight quickly, often through extremely restrictive diets either Excessive exercises. In all of them, most women are visibly thin, promoting these behaviors as if they were healthy practices. This type of content has been associated with an increase in eating disorders among the youngest, generating a growing alarm around the harmful effects of these trends, According to Libération. One more background problem. When you are looking for the hashtag, the first thing that appears is a message that says: “Your weight does not define you”, but then all the videos are observed where you can listen to phrases such as: “If you want to be skinny? You have to do skinny activities” either “Fat trauma”the latter accompanied with photographs of how they were before. In short, it is another sample of the normalization of eating disorders. Charlyne Buigues, nurse specialized in eating disorders, He explained For The Guardian that this type of clips not only encourages restrictive diets, but also creates a culture that glorifies physical suffering as a synonym for success. Also Dr. Also Chema, specialist in internal medicine, has detailed For Forbes that the advice of Skinnytok They can teach young people to interpret hunger as a sign of success, which is actually a natural biological signal. Eating disorders, such as anorexia, are having an alarming prevalence among adolescents, and this type of content exacerbates an existing problem. The target audience. The main problem is that the Tiktok base is teenagers. According to data from the Spanish Society of General and Family Physicians1 in 20 young people in Spain may suffer a problem of eating behavior. In addition, a study has demonstrated that visualizing this type of videos can cause damage to self -perception, only with eight minutes of Thininspiration It is enough to increase body dissatisfaction in young women. This adds to what He explained For Forbes, the mental health expert Stephen Buchwald: “Constant bombardment with unattainable beauty standards can create a vicious circle of self -criticism and low self -esteem, seriously affecting mental health, especially in adolescents.” The responsibility of the platforms. Before the growth of #SkinnytokEuropean governments and institutions have begun to take strict measures. According to politicianthe Arcomen France regulator, together with the European authorities, is investigating the phenomenon to determine if Tiktok is complying with current regulations for protection for minors, especially the EU Digital Services Lawthat forces platforms to mitigate the risks of harmful content. As mentioned, the social network has added a warning when looking for the label. However, some experts They have assured That these measures are not enough, since the algorithms of the platform continue to prioritize the most viral contents, without considering the consequences of spreading dangerous messages on body image. The 2000s revival. It is not just a phenomenon of social networks. The resurgence of the beauty canons of the 2000s has returned to the catwalks with the figure in the purest Kate Moss style: Ultradelgada. From The return of the Victoria’s Secret parade last year, with Adriana Lima’s transformationto the change of celebrities like Christina Aguilera, who recognized Using Ozempic to lose weight, reappear the aesthetic codes that dominated two decades ago, where extreme thinness is associated with success and glamor. It is not just about being thin, but about adjusting to a set of trends that prevails the image on health. The dangerous cult of extreme thinness. One of the central concerns around the Skinnytok phenomenon is the perpetuation of the Gordophobia in society. Social platforms, like the fashion and advertising industry, continue to promote thinness as the only ideal of beauty. This biased vision of aesthetics leads many people to be ashamed of their bodies for not adjusting to an unreal standard. Before this trend there was a filter known as “Chubby Filter”which ends up being deleted from the platform after numerous complaints of users who denounced humiliation. Now, with #skinnyTok, the effect is inverse: extreme thinness stands out as a personal improvement goal showing the long road that must be traveled again.

Starship flight 9 includes such a risky maneuver that will be tested at sea, not to destroy the tower

by

After Two consecutive flights in which the Starship ship exploded shortly from separating from the propeller, a conservative approach could be expected by Spacex for the ninth launch. Nothing is further from reality. Double Tirabuzón without a network for the Super Heavy. Elon Musk’s company knows how to maintain emotion for flight 9, and the riskiest plans focus on The largest part of the rocket: The Super Heavy propeller. Spacex will not only reuse for the first time one of the three super heavy who have successfully landed in the arms of the launch tower. At the same time, plan to test With only two available engines For braking and landing maneuver. It is a deliberate resistance test to verify what would happen if a propellant engine fails during the reentry. Straight to the Gulf of Mexico. In this case, Spacex will not try to catch the propeller for the second time. The landing maneuver is so extreme (first super heavy used, with only two lit engines and without failure tolerance) that the rocket will discard. Instead of returning to the tower, he will make an essay of the maneuver in the Atlantic Ocean, finishing his mission with a shocking. Spacex already has a second Mechazilla tower in Starbase Able to catch rockets with his robotic armsbut he needs both for when, in addition to the 70 -meter Super Heavy propeller, the 50 -meter Starship ship begins to land in the other tower. Something that Spacex would have tried for the first time on this flight 9 if it had not been for the catastrophic failures of flights 7 and 8, which have delayed those plans. Even so, we are going to have fun. 29 used engines. Spacex has already done a proof of the propeller which will launch the Starship in this ninth launch: the Booster 14. He took off for the first time on January 16 and was successfully captured by the tower a few minutes later, while the starship lost control. The first time Spacex reused a falcon 9 propeller A year had passed Since its launch. With the Super Heavy just three months have passed. In addition, there is no trap or cardboard: 29 of the 33 engines that wears the booster 14 are used. Of course, Spacex is still far from rapid reuse type “Zero-Touch reflight“(land, load propellants and take off again) to which he aspires. Especially with the ship and its thermal shield. All eyes put on the ship. To land a used rocket of 70 meters high with a less engine is impressive, but the super heavy will not be the protagonist of this flight. It must necessarily be the Starship 35 because it is the third ship of version 2 that will launch Spacex. His two predecessors had an abrupt ending for excessive vibrations near the engineswhich led to leaks, fires and explosions. The S35 ship completed its cryogenic tests in mid -March, but has not made a long ignition like the S34, and there are doubts about how Spacex will face its launch, because the flight profile has not yet been published. Nor the results of the investigation on flight 8, nor the flight license of the Federal Aviation Administration, so it seems unlikely that Spacex takes off at the date initially scheduled (April 18). Mars does not expect. Yes, on the other hand, the investigation of flight 7 is closed, whose 11 corrective actions were implemented before flight 8. Without much success, since it failed again. Flight 9 is not expected to require a modification of the flight license, but the approval of the FAA is indispensable to schedule the launch. Spacex needs to accelerate the step to meet Elon Musk’s goal of an unmanned mission to Mars (with Robots Tesla Optimus) By the end of next year. The earth-marte transfer windows occur every two years, and Musk does not want to waste time. But Starship is already pushing the limits of technology and the last thing he needs is a third explosion about the Caribbean.

‘The Brutalist’ is so long that it includes an intermediate of 15 minutes. And to the surprise of the director himself, people are delighted

by

Since we began talking about ‘The Brutalist’, Brady Corbet’s movie that It is nominated for ten Oscar And that is presented as one of the favorites to take the lists of the best of the year, all chronicles and criticism emphasized their duration, unusually long, three and a half hours. And also the even more unusual decision to be screened divided into two parts, separated by a fifteen minutes intermediate. But why. Was the intermediate necessary? According to Corbet and his coguionist Mona Fastvold, yes. In An interview with Indie Wire They said that “he was always scripted, the intermediate. He is curious, in a way he has caught the attention of what we expected. I personally have trouble sitting still for three and a half hours, so I needed it. And it was a decision of face to the public “. And they added that “people feel at home and see between eight and sixteen hours of a limited series with small breaks, so if you apply that idea to this movie, you are zampando with a little break in the middle.” Longer and longer movies. There is a very fashionable calculation in these times, in order to maximize the time we dedicate to leisure and that values ​​the profitability of cultural works: the longer, the more value we are giving our free time. In the video game industry, the number of hours needed to finish a game is a detail that is made public before it goes on sale. And the increasingly extensive films and series, guaranteeing the viewer that he can invest a good part of his day (or the whole day) in devouring a story. Only in that context are less and less extraordinary films such as’WICKED‘(160 minutes),’The Batman‘(176),’Oppenheimer‘(180),’ Avengers: Endgame ‘(182) … but none has intermediate. Of course, none lasts 215 minutes. Before there were intermediate, but as you are young you don’t remember it. Decades ago the films passed several times: the change of roll in the projector demanded a pause that was soon eliminated, when the projectors arrived that did not demand to interrupt the projection for the change of roll. And then, the arrival of digital cinema was loaded with that characteristic flicker in the image and sound that the oldest of the place identified with analog cinema. That is, the intermediate of ‘The Brutalist’ is completely unnecessary (unless we have the need to go to the bathroom and stretch our legs, which is not little), and still is done. ‘The Brutalist’ also looks like a movie from another time. A very thoughtful intermediate. The interesting thing about ‘The Brutalist’ is that it is not a cut, as was the case in old films, which happens when a film roll ends, or as it happened in some cinemas with the monstrous ‘also’The Moon Killer‘(206 minutes), when the room seemed convenient. It is a very thoughtful intermediate, which divides the film into two parts that differ in tone and style. The film is something in its first half, and after the intermediate, it is something else. The intermediate helps the viewer prepare for that change, and also reinforces the operatic quality of the film: because in the theater and opera they continue to be intermediates. Everyone loves intermediate. This apparently inconsequential aesthetic decision has become one of the hallmarks most celebrated from the film. It is being said that it is a way of recovering cinema as a total experience, which forces us to comment on what we have seen, to consider what we expect from what remains, and see the film as more than a mere procedure of going to any room To consume passively. Along with his celebration of the mastodontic formats And his classic and precious style, ‘The Brutalist’ has become, beyond an admirable film, a cinephile party.
