The president of Mexico reveals how Apple told her about the attack

by

The president of Mexico, Claudia Sheinbaum, confirmed Monday that her mobile phone and email, both for personal use, were hacked by unknown attackers. As explained at his morning conferencethe alert came from Apple, which notified the Government about the violation of its safety. The attack occurs just when its administration has intensified its offensive against drug cartels in a context of growing international pressure, including that of the United States. The notice that uncovered the hacking. “They hacked my phone and my email account. Apple immediately called the Digital Transformation Agency”Sheinbaum said this morning before journalists. The aforementioned agency, created this year to unify the technological capabilities of the government and under whose orbit is the General Directorate of Cybersecurity, was responsible for managing the situation from the first moment. According to the president, “he took letters in the matter very fast.” An attack with Pegasus? When the attackers point to high profile objectives, it is easy to think about Pegasus. However, it has not been revealed what tools were used to compromise the security of the telephone and mail of the president of Mexico. Apple has been fighting this type of spy software for some time, with Pegasus of NSO Group at the point of view, and has developed an alert system which notifies the possible affected through their Apple account, email and imissage. The head of state, however, has pointed out that it was Apple who contacted the digital transformation agency, which suggests a different communication than usual. To clarify it, we have consulted Apple about the existence of specific protocols when attacks aimed at high profile figures, such as heads of state. Nor is it clear if the cyber attack committed at the same time the mobile and email of Sheinbaum or if they were separate incidents. For now, the government continues to investigate. Personal use media. Both the telephone and the email affected by cyber attack were for personal use of the president of Mexico. As he explained, his mobile number dates from 2008, when he worked at the National Autonomous University of Mexico (UNAM), and decided to keep it for attachment, although he almost did not use it. As collects group formulathis number had already leaked during the electoral campaign. “It was a (number of) phone that knew everyone” and that was published in a newspaper, said Sheinbaum on Monday. On her email account, the president explained: “I think it was the first account that I opened in Yahoo, so it is a very, very old address that a lot of people have. In addition, I have the government’s account, which does have all cybersecurity conditions and others. ” When consulted on possible measures, he affirmed that the government has security protocols in its official accounts and that, after the incident, now uses another personal phone number. A hacking after the delivery of drug traffickers. The hacking was known for the first time through Un article published by The New York Times last Friday. According to the medium, the attack occurred shortly after the Sheinbaum government completed the transfer of 29 drug traffickers to the United States and in a context of more aggressive measures against cartels, driven in the midst of the growing pressure of the Donald Trump administration.

Organilleros are part of the cultural fabric of Mexico City. The problem is that there is no longer the one to manufacture the instruments

by

The music is The language of the soul, and a universal language. The streets of large and small cities in half the world have musicians of all kinds that make a living, do so by hobby or to entertain in an act that would shudder to the SGAE. In Mexico, that street music is tradition, one that remains alive thanks to the organilleros. They have a couple of centuries behind them and the saddest thing is that they are the perfect example of natural obsolescence: organillos will not die because there is no one who wants to touch them, but because there will be no one who knows how to repair them. The organ. The figure of the organillero may be far away right now to those who live in Europe. It is possible to see them at popular festivals in some German municipalities, but it is somewhat more anecdotal and reserved for concrete moments than anything else. In Mexico, the thing changes: there are still listening daily in cities such as Mexico City. Also in Buenos Aires or Santiago de Chile. The cylinders The curious thing is that the organilleros were born in Europe, such as Organillos. It is a portable mechanical instrument that was invented in the 18th century, but that was perfected when it arrived in Germany during the nineteenth century. The box can be decorated with the reasons you want It is a mechanical instrument with cylinders that have protuberances or perforations that rotate through a crank and activate a series of tabs. In doing so, an internal flame expels air through tubes, which are those that produce musical notes at predefined height and rhythm due to the cylinder itself. You don’t have to know music, go, you just have to turn the crank. Crossing the puddle. In Germany they were tremendously popular, but also in Italy, France, the Netherlands or Spain. Each country could adapt them to their popular songs and the organilleros went through the streets and squares entertaining the room of the pedestrians. It was a way to popularize music and, at some point at the end of the 19th century, they arrived in Mexico. It was a bombing. Ganoa. ‘Wagner and Levien’ was a musical instrument house founded by German immigrants who not only brought the organs, but also rented them to those who wanted to make a living playing on the street. They continued to be manufactured in Germany, so it was necessary to import them and it is said that the most important in this regard was Gilberto Lázaro Gaona. HE esteem that there were 250 organillos that acquired in the 1930s, coinciding with the moment in which they stopped manufactured in Germany. And they are the ones that, modified to reproduce Mexican popular music, have been circling through the streets of the city. Tradition. These organs weigh their own. Some get to overcome the 50 kilos and, although there are models that can be carried in tow, the most common is to support them on a stick or on a wheel support that facilitates transportation. The organilleros are wearing their traditional uniform and are dedicated to … that, to turn to the lever to activate the mechanism and color some of the transitted streets in the city. Obviously, thanks to the sensitivity with the animals, now it does not happen, but before these organilleros could carry a monkey that collected the donations and completed the show. Also in Chile Controversial and counterpoling. They are, therefore, part of the cultural fabric of Mexico City and, as happens so many times, there are tourists who do not see those local traditions with good eyes. Famous was the case of an American tourist who complained through social networks because of the sound of this instrument. They soon Fall criticism that did not harass the young woman, defenders of the trade of the organilleros, of the cultural importance they have and, why not say it, of that zeal for the homeland that sometimes exalts when we feel attacked. In extinction. Now, the organilleros seem to be far from disappearing, but another song is what will happen with the organ. Due to the use, possible accidents and friction between the elements, these organs are wearing and must be repaired. Do you remember the 250 pieces that Gaona imported? Well, it is estimated that the rest were lost, they were stolen or sold to collectors, and those 16 are those that continue to rent to the organilleros. And the person responsible for that business and its repair is, as we read in Unknown MexicoMarcela Silvia Hernández Cortés, Gilberto daughter -in -law. Her husband was the one who had the business and she taught her because the two men told her to dedicate himself to the kitchen when she tried to learn the trade. Legacy. After the death of her husband, Marcela learned on her own to repair these organs that, if they have survived, is thanks to her expertise and dedication. The sad thing is that there is no school of organizers, nor new pieces, because the factories closed and the hope of the artisan, as he commented on the news, is that their granddaughters continue with the legacy. “It is very laborious, but sometimes I look good,” Marcela said in the news, who also comments that, beyond the tradition, the organizing trade is an opportunity for people of a certain age who have run out of work and that they cannot, for whatever reason, access one. The artisan is a precious profession and, as we saw with the popular response to the video of the American tourist, the role of the organillero is respected and appreciated by the Mexicans. So much that there is Organizations that work to conserve this tradition.

The US has decided that the Gulf of Mexico is called the “Gulf of America.” Canada has avenged the “Canadian coffee”

by

In a stage of tensions between countries, everything is political. To coffee. The Donald Trump’s arrival at the White House To fulfill his second term he is being a tsunami. He has put The chips industry abovehas arrived with Tariffs under your arm For Mexico and Canada, it has the Celectric eight at the point of sightas well as renewable energiesand plan to be harder with China. These actions, among others, have aroused a feeling of Boicot to American productsand it is so deep that neither coffee is fought. But not a brand or something, but an elaboration: Canada wants to steal American coffee. And Mexico also points. The American is not American. The history of American coffee is most curious. We have seen this preparation dozens of times in cinema and television. Also in coffee shops in half the world to discover that it is a cuffed coffee (in broad strokes, it has its “art” to know the proportions) and we might think that it is an American ‘invention’. But no: it turns out that it is European. Italian, to be more exact. In the United States they have the habit of filling the cup to the top with coffee alone. Filter coffee is very rooted in the country, but in the Europe of the Second World Warcoffee drank differently. It seems that, during the campaign in Italy, Americans who wanted coffee to enjoy the drink or Stay alert They couldn’t stand the espresso Italian (the roasted grains of more do not help) and the baristas prepared A combination of your palate taste: a espresso to which they added hot water to reduce it. Coffee voltage. That combination was baptized as ‘American’ and, in the end, the participation of Americans in their creation was simply that the most intense coffee was not for their taste. But well, it is still a preparation that is really settled, but as we say, to a scrambled river, everything is political and, in Canada, the ‘American’ is no longer so well seen. Recently, and due to political tensions between both countriessome coffee shops have made the decision to change the name ‘American’ for ‘Canadiano’. The elaboration is the same and, in summary accounts, among the American soldiers who fought in Italy there were also Canadians, so they will estimate that they have the same right to keep coffee. Marketing or rebellion? But it is not so much for ‘cultural’ appropriation, for defining it in some way, as to use it. Against what? Because against those tariffs driven by Trump (which are running with a Canadian response, on the other hand). It was the Kicking Horse Coffee cafeteria the first that started this movement that has penetrated between the press specialized in coffee and that has reached media such as CBC News. But, at the same time that there are those who see in this a way to reaffirm the Canadian identity, there are also critics that estimate that it is an orchestrated marketing strategy to sell more coffee among those who have that patriotic fire. And yes, Kicking Horse Coffee has been calling ‘Canadian’ for 16 years to elaboration, but as they explain In their networksnow they make it official and seek that the rest of Canadian coffee shops do the same. Some He has already taken the witness. “For 16 years, Kicking Horse Coffee has been called Canadiano to the Americans. Now, we make this official and ask the coffee shops throughout the country to join. Call it ‘Canadiano’” Mexico wonders things. In whatever, the idea has reached a Mexico that will be used to the change of name of the Gulf of Mexico for that of Gulf of America (America not for the continent, but for that American idea that they are America). In the Latin American country there are already those who are exploring The idea of ​​renowing American coffee as ‘Mexican coffee’ or ‘coffee of pot’. Now, Mexico already has a ‘pot of pot’. It is a typical way of preparing coffee in the country that consists of preparing it in a clay pot as if it were an infusion. It is more typical in rural areas than in large cities, but the issue is not so much the name and … politics. Boycott. We will see if it covers that campaign to replace the American with the Canadian (who, to propose, each country could now put the name he wants), but what is evident is that Trump’s arrival is causing movements worldwide. We have already commented that in Europe and Canada there are movements that ask for the boycott To American products, in networks there are lists European software and hardware to stop depending on the American and have even seen Virulent reactions to products like Tesla cars. Next to cars burning, the Canadian looks like a joke. In Xataka | The intricate technology behind a coffee capsule: how Nespresso has tried to create an “ecosystem” to Apple

Tariffs imposed by the US to Mexico are going to shoot many prices. Those of these car brands are going to be a problem

The United States decision of Implement 25% tariffs On the imports of Mexico and Canada it will have many and varied consequences, but there is a sector that will be specially affected by it: the automotive industry, especially from North America. After several postponements, the measure entered into force on March 4without the possibility of a new negotiation. There are already names of affected companies and models. An interconnected industry. Throughout the last three decades in the United States, with The signature of the NAFTA (Gasoline) in 1994 and its subsequent evolution towards the T-MEC (USMCA), car manufacturers have developed supply chains highly interdependentin which engines, transmissions and other components cross the borders multiple times before assembling in a final vehicle. The premise behind this model is clear: take advantage of the economic and logistics strengths of each country to reduce costs, improve efficiency and offer more competitive prices to its consumers. However, new tariffs could break this structure, drastically more expensive and generating uncertainty about what cars will be considered imported or national. What is really an imported car. It had the New York Times. Before talking about the repercussions, it should be explained how a vehicle is “mounted”. The central problem of tariffs is that defining what an imported car is is not so simple. In legal terms (and USA key), a vehicle is classified as imported when its final assembly occurs outside the United States. However, the complexity of supply chains This definition has become obsolete. The medium exposed concrete examples of this interconnection. Namely: the Chevrolet Blazer is assembled in Mexico, but uses engines and transmissions made in the United States, the Nissan Altim He assembles in the United States but with only 25% of its American parts (the engine comes from Japan and the transmission of Mexico). Extra ball. There is another problem: that the Trump administration has not specified How will you apply tariffs To these components that cross the border several times. This, no doubt, generates a climate of uncertainty for manufacturers, who do not know how to calculate production costs and define their commercial strategy. A true chaos. Affected companies and models. What seems clearly clear is that, if tariffs are permanently implemented, a summary of Several companies that could be forced to reconsider investments or even transfer production to other regions. Who is it? The main automotive with operations in Mexico and Canada that They would be impacted For tariffs they include: BMW: Its plant in San Luis Potosí, Mexico, produces series 3, 2 Coupé and M2 models, mainly intended for the US and global market. Ford: operates three floors in Mexico and exported almost 196,000 vehicles to North America in the first half of 2024, of which 90% went to the United States. General Motors (GM): It imported around 750,000 vehicles from Mexico and Canada in 2024, including key models such as Chevy Silverado, GMC Sierra and SUV medium. In addition, its Mexican plants assemble two of its new electric vehicles (EVS). Honda: with 80% of its Mexican production for the United States, it already warned that it could rethink its manufacturing strategy if tariffs become permanent. KIA: Its factory in Mexico assembles its own models and the Santa Fe SUV for Hyundai, which are also exported to the United States. Mazda: exported 120,000 vehicles from Mexico to the United States in 2024 and evaluates to stop future investments if tariffs enter into force. Nissan: Its two plants in Mexico produce the Sentra, Versa and Kicks models for the United States, with a total of 505,000 units assembled in the first nine months of 2024. Stellantis: Assemble in Mexico the RAM, Vans and Jeep Compass trucks, in addition to manufacturing Chrysler models in Canada. In 2025, he plans to restart the production of a new Jeep model in his Canadian plant. TOYOTA: Produces Tacoma in its factories in Mexico, with more than 230,000 units sold in the United States in 2024, which represented 10% of its sales in that market. Volkswagen (VW): Its plant in Puebla, Mexico, manufactured about 350,000 vehicles in 2024, including the Jetta, Tiguan and Taos, all for export to the United States. Audi: His factory in San José Chiapa, Mexico, produces the Q5 and uses more than 5,000 people. Only in the first half of 2024, exported almost 40,000 units to the United States. Plus: In Canada, Volkswagen is building a battery gigafabrica in Ontario, which will begin production in 2027, a project that, obviously, could also be affected by commercial uncertainty. Possible consequences. The first is the most obvious and we can Explain with an example: If a car manufactured in Mexico has a base price of $ 25,000, a 25% tariff would add 6,250 to the final cost. In the market, the impact would be enormous: the car would be less competitive in front of the United States automotive industry and generate a tension in the commercial relations of both countries, since Mexico would begin to look to other sides. But there is more. First of all, Price increase For consumers in the United States. Additional costs could be transferred to customers, making cars, trucks and SUVs assembled in Mexico and Canada. The reduction of competitiveness is also pointed out, since brands such as Ford, GM, Toyota and VW could lose market participation against production manufacturers in the United States or outside North America. Plus: the Reconfiguration of the supply chainsince some companies could seek to transfer operations outside of Mexico or Canada to avoid tariffs, although this would imply high costs and prolonged deadlines. Finally, analysts also point to Impact on employment and investmentsince automotive plants in Mexico and Canada generate hundreds of thousands of jobs. Uncertainty about tariffs could cause investment reduction, mass layoffs and lower expansion of the sector in the region. How much prices will increase. It is the big question. Manufacturers have analyzed the direct impact of tariffs on production costs. According to Patrick Andersonfrom Anderson Economic Group, … Read more

The Fyre Festival was the most ruined festival in history. Now his ideologues want to celebrate it in Mexico

by

There are festivals and then is the Fyre Festival. What happened several years ago on an island in Bahamas will remain for the Annals of History, a non -chaotic festival that ended with its founder in jail and with two documentaries about their won legend as “the worst” of the events of this type in modern history. In fact, there will always be the doubt of whether the productions of Netflix and Hulu always They scam us telling the scam. Be that as it may, for May everything is “almost” ready for the second part. Context: The first failure. The first edition of the festival took place in 2017 and became a epic dye disaster When the attendees, mostly wealthy young people who had paid thousands of dollars for a luxury experience in the Bahamas (with VIP packages that reached 400,000 dollars), they found an event without infrastructure, without musical acts and with deplorable accommodations. The catastrophe (and fraud) was Such proportions which resulted in Millionaire losses For attendees and investors. Its founder, Billy McFarland, was arrested shortly after. In 2018, it was declared guilty of fraud and fraudwith a sentence of six years in prison and A 26 million debt of dollars, although it was released after fulfilling just under four. In spite of everything, McFarland has enthusiast The Today Show program. The second part. This is how we get to these days, although with a certain Leave Vú In the slogan: luxury, exclusivity and exorbitant prices. That is what promises again Fyre Festival 2. Now, with a new scheduled edition from May 30 to June 2, 2025 in Isla Mujeres, Mexico. According to The festival websiteattendees can enjoy avant -garde experiences, musical shows on the beach and world -class hospitality. In fact, tickets They are already on sale From this week, with prices ranging from $ 1,400 to 1.1 million dollars. The latter, The “Prometheus” packageincludes tickets for eight people, flights in “Fyre Air” from Miami to Cancun, helicopter transport and accommodation on a yacht or a four -bedroom villa. Also supposed exclusive experiences such as diving with whale sharks and sessions of Mixology. The first doubts. However, something does not just quad. The details are rather scarce From the official page: Official artists or suppliers have not been announced so far. In fact, if we go to the web we find something very rare: GPS coordinates From the event they point to a point in the sea, west of Isla Mujeres. In Mexico they know nothing. However, what makes all alarm signs jump is that from Isla Mujeres they are not aware of the event. In this regard, Edgar Gasca, from the Island Directorate of Isla Mujeres, was blunt to affirm: “We have no knowledge of this event or contact with any person or company about Him. For us, this is an event that does not exist”. In fact, Gasca He explained to the Guardian that upon learning of the announcement he investigated with the Ministry of Tourism of Quintana Roo and with the hotels that would supposedly offer accommodation for the event. The answer? Everyone denied having been contacted by the organizers. One of these hotels, Isla Mujeres impression, assured the British environment that has not received any request or communication from the festival and that are currently investigating the situation. Even the municipal president of Isla Mujeres, Athena Gómez Ricalde, has expressed his bewildermentaffirming that the only thing he knows about the festival is what he has read in networks: “They are trying to take advantage of the peace and tranquility we have built here for their own benefit.” A doubtful strategy. McFarland has tried justify lack of details ensuring that attendees knew that “they were taking a risk” when buying tickets and that the event is no longer under their direct control, but in the hands of new partners. Local authorities, however, suspect that the organizers’ strategy is Simply announce the eventmeasure interest and then try to obtain permits on the fly. GASCA described this naiveunderlining that to organize a great magnitude event, prior municipal authorization is required. Given the controversy, the Government of Isla Women has issued A public statement denying the existence of permits for the event. The organizers insist. Despite the official refusal, the Lostnight producer company also issued a statement ensuring that the festival will take place from May 30 to June 2, 2025. According to this statement, the event will have “exclusive places, high -end hotels and compliance with local regulations.” For its part, Unik Travel, another company involved, said there ESTABLISHED CONTACT WITH THE AUTHORITIES municipal and state to guarantee the legality and success of the festival. However, again, none of these statements has been accompanied by concrete evidence. Second parts …: With all this panorama it is little less than a recklessness to buy one of the tickets. The Multiple alarm signalsadded to the lack of transparency and the refusal of local authorities, have generated serious doubts about the viability of the Fyre Festival 2. For Gasca, The situation is clear: “This festival will not happen. There are red flags everywhere.” As proof of the lack of planning, Gasca has indicated what we commented before: that the festival coordinates on its website lead to a location In the middle of the oceanbetween Cancun and Isla women, which illustrates, at least, the precariousness of the project itself. Thus, it is reasonable to think that Netflix already It has a bale The second documentary. Image | Fyre Festival In Xataka | Has the documentary that the Timo of the Fyre Festival counted us?

Calling Gulf of America to the Gulf of Mexico was just an occurrence of Trump. Until Apple changed its maps

by

The 1953 edition was the last one published in the volume Limits of Oceans and Seasthe text internationally accepted to name the seas and oceans of our planet. It is managed by the International Hydrographic Organization (IHO), But the curious thing is not that. The curious thing is why more than 70 years ago it has not been edited. The reason, they explain In The Conversationwe find it in the conflict between Japan and South Korea by the name of a sea. Specifically, by the Japan seaits best known and popular name. In South Korea they do not agree to call it that, and since then they try to change the name to “Mar del Este”. South Korea took the problem that created a East Sea Society 30 years ago, but the problem never solved. The IHO came to create a revised edition of its volume in 2002, but was never published. That is the clear demonstration of how difficult it is to change the name to any geographical element in our day. At least, to change it so that it is universally accepted. And that is what is happening these days with the controversy (another) created after Donald Trump’s decision, which He issued an executive order to call Gulf of MexicoGulf of America. That decision could have gone unnoticed, but it has become something especially significant. Not for the decision itself, but because to make it a standard de facto (no of iure) has forced Google Maps —which announced the change Monday— And above all Apple Maps Change the name on their maps. And if Google and Apple maps say it, the thing changes. He does it at least for the hundreds of millions of people who use these maps, who will end up seeing how that Gulf is no longer “from Mexico”, but “of America.” The popularity of these applications is exceptional, and if something changes its name in them, users They can end up accepting it as the official name. The problem is that it is not, because it is only in the US. But both Google and Apple have already introduced that change in their applications when they are used by US citizens there, and soon we will see all. That, of course, does not mean that the rest of the world accepts that new denomination and continues to use the name that that Gulf has always had. They will not probably do so in Mexico, where they responded with a sneer to the decision of the US president. His Mexican counterpart, Claudia Sherinbaum Pardo, did At a recent conference that maybe then we should Change the name to the United States to call it Mexican America. It was then that he showed a map of 1607 in which not only the Gulf of Mexico appeared as such: it is also the region now occupied by the United States was called Mexican America. The answer is absolutely valid. Sherinbaum probably does not propose that change in Google and Apple maps for Mexicans, and even if I did, Apple and Google are North American companies and would probably not accept the change. Be that as it may, the truth is that this change of names demonstrates how today changing the name to such important geographical areas is not easy, although Have Google and Apple from your side help. The question, of course, is what will happen within four years, when Trump’s mandate ends. Will the Gulf of Mexico return to be the Gulf of Mexico?

Years ago Mexico opted to offer longer school days for children. Caused an increase in divorces

by

A time ago a group of economists from the University of Tennessee It was done A peculiar questionfor the concepts and ideas that combines and also its implications: does the school’s school day influence The divorce rate parental? If the time children spend at school clearly affects To the dynamics of the families, conditioning as basic aspects as the hours of adults for other tasks, does that factor interfere with the couple’s breakdown? And if so, how? And why? After crossing school data and separations recorded for several years in Mexico, the experts reached A curious conclusion: The expansion of school days or have greater access to schools with extended schedules does seem to affect divorce rates. It increases them. School Conference (and something else). Over the years articles (many) have been published on how the different school day models They affect To students, their performancehe school abandonment or the “Child Wellness”. The debate It is old and root in a dilemma on which they have run ink rivers: Continuous school day or departure? There are those who ensure that this response has implications that go far beyond the classrooms, such as The gender gapthe Differences of opportunities or family poverty. Click on the image to go to Tweet. A new factor: divorces. María Padilla-Romo, Cecilia Peluffo and Marian Its derivatives: The separations. And they have done it based on a very specific question: how does the expansion of the schooling work affect divorce rates? To find out they basically handle two sources, the statistical records of marriage ruptures and school data on the expansion of the school day in the public primary schools. In Mexico they found databases for both fronts, so the country ended up becoming its particular (and huge) laboratory. The data they obtained and interpretation have just reflected them in An essay Posted in Journal of Public Economics. But what did they analyze? The researchers took advantage of a phenomenon that played in their favor: the “Large -scale expansion” of the model of Full -time school (Full-Time Schools, or etc, with a “Extended Day” of Between six and eight hours) In Mexican municipalities from 2007 to 2016. To be more precise, economists resorted to census data from the monitoring of the monitoring Program etc. of the Secretary of Public Education that corresponded to the 2007/2008 academic year, in which It began to applyand 2015/2016. Then they compared the degree of implementation of that program of school day expanded by municipalities and were fixed in women in divorce procedures in each of those locations. In short, they crossed data. The information on marriage ruptures was obtained from the National Institute of Mexican Statistics and Geography (INEGI), where the cases processed between 2000 and 2016 consulted. And the surprise came. After working with the different records, the researchers discovered that there seems to be A marked relationship between the extension of the school day in the primary centers and the ruptures. At least in Mexico. “We found that the expansion of the school day in 3.5 hours causes a significant increase in divorce rates,” explain economists in Your article. “In addition, the effect is increased with each year of exposure from municipalities to full -time schooling.” A well calibrated trend. The experts They go further and share their calculations on the relationship between both factors, broad teaching days and ruptures. “We found that, as a result of an average increase in the availability of etc. of 24 percentage points, the divorce rate increased by 0.041 divorces per 1,000 individuals (an increase of 12.6 in relation to divorces in the municipalities treated in the year prior to the opening of the first etc) “. Moreover, researchers even appreciate that “the effect increases over time” and the increase in the divorce rate is higher when families enjoy the longest teaching days for seven years. “Our main estimates suggest that the availability of ETC It gave rise to 23,119 additional divorces between 2009 and 2016, or approximately 4.7% of the total number of divorces presented during that period of time, ” The study abounds. Its authors also detected another key trend: the longest school days gave rise to greater divorce rates in areas where less traditional social norms overwhelmed on marriage, divorces and female work. Click on the image to go to Tweet. The question: Why? Extend a few hours the time that primary school The article From Padilla-Romo and his companions suggests that it is not. Maybe it’s a few hours, but influence classrooms. And the reason is that this extension of school days is in its own way “an implicit subsidy for children’s care.” Having their children during a broad period in schools – on its website the Mexican government points out that in etc From 8.00 to 16.00 h– Parents have more time. Especially women, in which It regularly falls The care of the offspring. And those hours can use them in working outside their homes, in exchange for a salary that reinforces their economic independence. Although the researchers recognize that the greatest job among women can have other consequences, such as generating “conflicts”, that mothers with an “abusive couple” remain less exposed to it or simply increase the flow of money that enters home, what That facilitates to face the expenses involved in divorce and separation, the researchers suggest that the economic factor is essential to understand the phenomenon. “A disproportionate fraction”. “Mothers and other female members of the family dedicate a disproportionate fraction of their time to the care of children. The longest school days provide them with an increase in their effective time provision, which translates in better opportunities to acquire individual income “, Zanjan The three authors of the study. “As a result, the negotiation positions at home are probable.” “Our results show that the extension of the school day gave rise to higher divorce rates in areas with less traditional social norms on marriage, divorce and the priority of women in jobs, … Read more

Sheinbaum says that the Gulf of Mexico will continue to be called like this despite the change of Google in the US.

by

The Mexican president, Claudia Sheinbaumsaid Tuesday that The Gulf of Mexico will continue to be called like this despite what Google has replaced its name for ‘Gulf of America’ To follow the orders issued by the American president, Donald Trump. “The Gulf of Mexico is still a gulf of Mexico“, Said the Mexican ruler at her morning conference. Sheinbaum minimized the implications of Google’s decision, which explained on Tuesday in the social network X that renamed the Gulf in its maps for the United States with the argument that is the current official name of that area in that country. The president showed Trump’s executive order that indicates that the name change is applied only on the American continental platformbut he reiterated that for the rest of the world he is still a gulf of Mexico, a name that appears on maps since the seventeenth century. “It is very important because that is what he signed, The United States continental platform, then let’s not speculatethis is what is signed by President Trump, ”he said. Claudia Sheinbaum, president of Mexico.Credit: Isaac Esquivel | EFE Trump fulfilled on his first day in office, on January 20, with his warning of calling ‘Gulf of America’ to the Gulf of Mexico for considering that Mexico is “governed by the cartels” of drug trafficking and is “a very insecure place” . But Sheinbaum defended his strategy of reacting with the “cold head” to the actions of the new US presidentwho has also declared an emergency on the border, has reinstated the Migratory program ‘Stay in Mexico’, and has designated terrorists to Mexican cartels. “I said it from the first day of the protest of President Trump, we have a responsibility. So what did we rely on? In what was signed, that’s why I say cold head, this is what was signed, which is its continental platform, ”he said. With EFE information.

New update on Google Maps: Gulf of Mexico will be renamed as a Gulf of Améric

by

In an ad that has generated controversy, Google Maps will begin to show The Gulf Name of America instead of Gulf of Mexico within the United States. This decision responds to an executive order signed by President Donald Trumpwhich instructed the use of this term on official maps and federal documents. In addition, Mount Denali, located in Alaska, It will also be renamed Monte McKinley On the map platform. Google explains its official name policy In a statement issued by the company, Google He explained that these changes obey their policy of reflecting the official names established in government sources. “We have received questions about the names on Google Maps. We apply changes when updated in official government sources, ”said the company. The decision to adopt Gulf of America in the US has been particularly controversial, since the Gulf of Mexico is an internationally recognized name and has a deep cultural, historical and geographical meaning. Google clarified that the new name will be visible only for users in the US, while in Mexico and other regions the term Gulf of Mexico will remain. In some areas, users can see both names. The controversy to rename the Gulf of Mexico as Gulf of America has generated a lot of controversy. (Photo: Shuttersock) The company also emphasized that this practice is not new. When official names vary between countries, Google Maps shows the corresponding local denominations. In the rest of the world, the platform presents the 2 versions of the name. “This is a long -standing practice,” said Google, stressing that change does not reflect a political position, but the fulfillment of the updates made by governments. Google clarified that the changes will not be immediate. The company will proceed with the modifications on its platform once the US authorities complete the update of its official databases. This process guarantees that the names reflect the official designations in each country, respecting local norms and denominations. The return of Mount McKinley Another significant update announced by Google is the change of the name of Mount Denali, the highest mountain in North America, which will recover its old name of Monte McKinley. This adjustment also responds to the executive order signed by Trump, who instructed federal agencies to use the name McKinley in honor of former president William McKinley. Mount Denali, officially recognized with this name in 2015 during the administration of Barack Obama, had been called Monte McKinley for more than a century. However, the change was celebrated by indigenous and local communities of Alaska, who considered that “Denali” (which means “the high” in the Koyukon language) better reflected the history and culture of the region. The decision to reverse the name to McKinley has generated divided opinions. Reactions to changes in Google Maps The ads have caused a wide range of reactions. While some sectors consider that modifications reflect sovereign decisions, others see them as unnecessary or even as an attempt to impose political narratives. Geography and diplomacy experts have indicated that these types of measures It could have implications in bilateral relations and in the international perception of the USA In Mexico, the change of the name of the Gulf of Mexico has been particularly poorly received by sectors that consider that it is a cultural and geographical appropriation. In social networks, the term Gulf of America has generated a wave of criticism and debates. On the other hand, in Alaska, the return of the name Monte McKinley has generated tensions with local communities that consider this measure a decline in the recognition of indigenous culture. Although Google has insisted that these adjustments do not represent a political position, the connection between government policy and corporate decisions is evident. Analysts point out that, following government provisions, technology companies also face the challenge of maintaining a neutral and objective image before a diverse global audience.

A city of tents. In the old fairgrounds, under an altar built for a Mass of Pope Francis in 2016, the Mexican government prepares for the thousands of deportees who expect to arrive from the United States in the coming weeks. Ciudad Juárez is one of the eight border towns along the 3,000 kilometers of border in which the country is preparing for the expected expulsion wave. Men with boots and baseball caps rise to the top of a vast metal structure to cover it with a thick white canvas, raising a rudimentary shelter to temporarily house men and women exactly the same the same. It is likely that eventual workers, domestic employees, cooking personnel and agricultural pawns are soon among those sent to the south, once the President Donald Trump calls “the greatest deportation in the history of the United States. “ Image source, Getty images Photo foot, In Ciudad Juárez, Mexican authorities are building a huge center to house deportees. Not only roof and food In addition to nature protection, deportees will receive food, medical care and help to obtain Mexican identity documents, within the framework of a deporteed support program that the administration of President Claudia Sheinbaum calls “Mexico hugs you”. “Mexico will do everything you need to attend to its compatriots and allocate what is necessary to receive those who are repatriated,” said the Mexican Secretary of the Interior, Rosa Icela Rodríguez, the day of Trump’s possession. For her part, President Sheinbaum has stressed that her government will first meet the humanitarian needs of those who return, stating that they will be able to benefit from the social programs and pensions of her government, and that they can work immediately. He urged Mexicans to “keep calm and cold head” about relations with President Trump and his administration, from deportations to the threat of tariffs. “With Mexico, I think we are doing very well,” said President Trump in a video speech against Davos’s World Economic Forum last week. President Sheinbaum has said that the key is in the dialogue and keeping communication channels open. However, it recognizes the potential tension that the Emergency Declaration on the US border by President Trump could assume for Mexico. It is estimated that 5 million undocumented Mexicans currently live in the US and the perspective of a massive return could quickly saturate and overflow border cities such as Juarez and Tijuana. Image source, Getty images Photo foot, Mexico is ready to receive the thousands of deportees that Trump expects to expel from the US in the coming weeks. A difficult task It is an issue that worries José María García Lara, director of the Hostel for Immigrants Juventud 2000 of Tijuana. While teaching me the facilities, which are almost at the limit of their capacity, ensures that there are very few places where you can host more families. “If necessary, perhaps we can put some people in the kitchen or in the library,” he explains. But he admits that there will come a time when there is no longer space, and donations of food, medical material, blankets and hygiene products do not supply. “We are being beaten on two fronts. First, the arrival of Mexicans and other migrants fleeing violence,” says Garcia. “But we will also have the mass deportations. We do not know how many people will cross the border needing our help. Together, these two things could create a big problem,” he warns. In addition, another key part of Trump’s executive orders includes a policy called “staying in Mexico”, under which immigrants waiting for dates to make their asylum cases in an Imigration Court of the United States would have to remain in Mexico before those appointments. Image source, Getty images Photo foot, Mexico has also reinforced security on its side of the border to try to stop illegal crosses. When “staying in Mexico” was previously in force, during Trump’s first term and under the presidency of Andrés Manuel López Obrador in Mexico, Mexican border cities fought to get ahead. Human rights groups also repeatedly denounced the risks to which migrants were exposed when they were forced to wait in dangerous cities where crime related to drug cartels abounds. This time, Sheinbaum has made it clear that Mexico does not agree with the plan and will not accept any US non -Mexican asylum seeker while waiting for her audiences. It is clear that “staying in Mexico” only works if Mexico is willing to fulfill it. Until now, it has drawn a line. President Trump has deployed about 2,500 soldiers on the southern border of the US, which will be responsible for carrying out part of the logistics of his offensive. In Tijuana, meanwhile, Mexican soldiers help prepare for consequences. The authorities have prepared an event center called flamingos with 1,800 beds for the returnees, with troops that bring supplies, install a kitchen and showers. Image source, Getty images Photo foot, In his early days in the White House, Trump has issued a series of orders that seek to launch the largest deportation of undocumented history. While President Trump signed executive orders last Monday, a minibus crossed the doors of the Chaparral border crossing, between San Diego and Tijuana, transporting a handful of deportees. A few journalists had gathered to try to speak with the first deportees of the Trump era. However, it was a routine deportation, which probably had been preparing for weeks and had nothing to do with the documents Trump was signing before a crowd cooling in Washington DC However, symbolically, while the minibus passed at full speed ahead of the media waiting before a refuge managed by the Government, these will be the first of many. Mexico will … Read more
