strategy

Ibai is going to launch its own football team to start from the lowest. There is actually a very thoughtful strategy

by

Ibai Llanos is, without a doubt, The most ambitious Spanish streamer. Restless and little given to be in a single type of content, it is stretching the limits of what can be expected from a creator on the Internet to use, to the point that its new project is out of the merely virtual environment: it has announced that it will finance a football team that will start in the most modest categories with the intention of ascending what you can. From the fourth division. Nothing less than in the fourth Catalan division will start the team, as the streamer From your Tiktok account. “We are going to start in the lowest category in Spain and we will try to ascend over the years, as far as we arrive,” he says (although it is not exactly the lowest possible category). The digital confidential revealswith information arrived from the environment of Ibai, which there is already a field in which to train, whose location will be revealed soon. Aspects such as the name and other issues will be chosen collaboratively. Starting. At the moment, there are no players: they need 20 and a coaching staff, and the search has already begun. He has opened the call for players in his networks, and we sympathize with whom he has to manage the avalanche of children’s videos giving touches. The choice of the fourth Catalan division is not accidental, of course: Ibai resides in Catalonia and that regional category allows you to enter the federated football system. This team still without a name is, therefore, Ibai’s next step within soccer management, after Your football team 7Porcinos fc, will achieve win the world championship of the Kings League devised by Piqué. Buy the Murcia. It is not the first time that Ibai enters the field of soccer management. In 2021 he expressed his desire to Buy Real Murciaproclaiming his desire that “a humble team is respected the shield.” The mention of Murcia is not accidental: although the team is not at its best (especially considering that it was in 1st division, it is now in the first federation, the third level of Spanish football divisions), it has a great stadium, much follow -up in the city and a long history of famous interested in it: Auronplay and Djmariio They were shareholders And they also The presenters of modern life. Investor problems … Football club management for large business or famous groups has generated abundant controversies in recent years. For example, Valencia is plunged into A serious crisis Under the property of Peter Lim, Singapore businessman, who has been accused of bad financial management, lack of investment, sale of key players and disconnection with the local fans. Granada CF has suffered similar problems, managed by Chinese investors and subsequently sold to other funds. In this context, he has suffered management problems and has accused the lack of a stable sports project, with frequent changes of coaches and directive. … and the celebrities. Valladolid suffered a similar image and results crisis that has lasted until very recently: Ronaldo Nazário acquired 51% of the club in 2018 promising to take it to the elite. A roller coaster of promotions and descents led to the disgust of the fans. After a disastrous season, Ronaldo has sold its participation majority to an American investment group. This case is perhaps the clearest of a media personality with a past linked to football that took the controls of a club with disastrous results, and that possibly Ibai is very present. THE INTER CASE. There is another case, very recent, and that concerns other personalities of the sphere of the streaming: The Madrid International Football Club, founded in 2002, amounted from the Madrid regional until reaching Second Division B. in 2020 He merged with the eSports Dux Gaming teambecoming called Dix International of Madrid. Behind the pioneer union, which linked traditional football and eSports under the same seal, were the players Thibaut Courtois and Borja Iglesias, and the Djmariio youtuber. However, economic and administrative conflicts with the Royal Spanish Football Federation in 2022 led Dux Gaming It will separate from the project. The result was that, since then, any approach to traditional football from the orbit of the Streamers It is seen with suspicion. An important challenge. Ibai is accustomed to assuming large -scale challenges, and to get out of Niche appearance projects like the evening. Therefore, your first decision, not to buy an existing team to save time and resources, but to found it from zero and start from below, has a clear strategy. Now it only remains to see if the innumerable decisions that have ahead takes them with the same common sense.

Venice established a rate to combat tourism hordes. Japan has copied the strategy: the one that arrives, pays

by

It happened recently with the arrival of the “Holy Week.” Venice enhanced a little more That pioneering toll years ago. The figures that threw the input rate had gone so well, that the city He folded his price. A measure for which Italy sought to restore the balance between the rights of residents and the massive arrival of visitors. A nation has followed the popular enclave: Japan. Mass tourism and fiscal burden. We have been telling: Japan does not stop Receive touristsand given the unstoppable increase, a growing number of Japanese municipalities It has begun To look at the rates used in other enclaves Like Venice: Implement specific taxes for foreigners, in an effort to compensate for the growing costs that tourism activity imposes on local communities. According to Nikkeithese measures mainly include accommodation taxes per night, but are also expanding towards more innovative taxation forms that seek to exclude local payment residents, applying the principle of “who causes, pays.” The objective is clear: preserve fiscal viability of towns and cities that face a reverse demographic pressure (populations in decline in front of booming tourism) and sustain fundamental public services without moving the burden to those who live there permanently. Accommodation tax. Since Tokyo pioneered a pioneer fixed tax per person And by night in the accommodations, others 11 locations They have joined, the most recent of them Atamiin the prefecture of Shizuoka, which began to collect a tribute from 200 yen per night April 1. This tax, which will generate about 600 million annual yen, will serve to finance the new Atami Tourism Office and local activities such as fireworks festivals. The model adopted by most cities consists of fixed rates, staggered depending on the price of accommodation, to facilitate their collection and minimize the administrative load on hotels and hosts. However, there is a unique case with Kutchanin Hokkaido, which since 2019 imposes A 2% tax On the cost of accommodation in its resort area, a pioneering measure that other municipalities, such as Rusutsuthey study to replicate. Miyajima and the model. One of the most significant developments has been the tax applied by Hatsukaichi for access the island of Miyajimathat since October 2023 gravel with 100 additional yen to each ferry passenger. The measure, inspired by the principle of the so -called as “cause pays”seeks that visitors (not residents) absorb the costs derived from their presence, such as waste management, traffic and water and sewerage services. Unlike other rates aimed at promoting tourism, this is a general tax that can be used for any area of ​​the local budget. With a population of just 1,400 people and 4.85 million visitors in 2024, Miyajima was has become a symbol how mass tourism can overflow the operational capacity of a heritage enclave without adequate corrective measures. Biei: Combined taxes. Another illustrative case occurs in Bieialso in Hokkaido, who proposed A double taxation to balance the impact of tourists: a 200 yen accommodation tax per night and a parking charge in the Shirogane Blue Parkone of its main tourist attractions. With 2.39 million visitors in 2023 but only 158,000 overnight stays, most tourists are one -day hikers, which motivated A mixed scheme For everyone to contribute. Both measures are expected to collect more than 239 million annual yenresources that will be used both to maintain services and to support agricultural policies, in an attempt to reinforce the local economy from multiple fronts. Challenges and risks. As both prefectures and municipalities adopt their own variants of these taxes, new challenges arise, including the double taxation risk in areas where regional and local rates coincide. In addition, given that the fiscal performance of these measures depends directly on the concentration of accommodation facilities, the regions with the highest proportion of visitors without prolonged stay can be at a disadvantage, accentuating territorial inequalities. Solution? Some local governments (such as Sadoin Niigata) have considered alternatives such as Input taxes generalized to the island, which would simplify the collection and guarantee a more equitable distribution of the tax burden between short and long -term visitors. Local response to a global phenomenon. In short, the backdrop of this proliferation of tourist rates is still A paradox Increasingly common: destinations of international fame that at the same time face the collapse of their resident population and the overload of their services for the massive influx of those tourists once longed for their economies. As He counted in Nikkei Mneaki AokiProfessor at the University of Kanagawa and advisor to the tax systems of Miyajima and Biei, the “cause pays” adapts well to places where tourists exceed largely in number to the permanent inhabitants. Faced with tourism as a blessing and burden, these mechanisms seek a more pragmatic solution: conserve hospitality without sacrificing tax sustainability (or local quality of life). In that sense, Japan, with its meticulous normative approach, becomes a RARE Av of policy laboratory that could inspire other countries under the same dilemma, going from “copying” Enclaves like Venice to become a pioneer with their own initiatives.

Nuclear power plants have a very valuable resource so as not to collapse if electricity fails: the “flex” strategy

by

The refrigeration system of The reactors of nuclear centrals It has a fundamental purpose: to guarantee that Fuel bars will remain at all times within Its operating temperatures range. If this parameter increases excessively they could melt and trigger a serious accident. To avoid it Conventional nuclear reactorslike those we have in Spanish nuclear plants, have a triple cooling circuit. The primary circuit consists of the vessel that contains the fuel bars and a deposit known as heat exchanger. The hot water from the vessel circulates between both deposits thanks to the action of a pump, so that it cools in the exchanger before returning to the vessel. This circuit is closed. In addition, the heat exchanger acts as a steam generator, so a second circuit is responsible for introducing the cold water inside that, when coming into contact with the hot water of the primary circuit enters boiling. From there the necessary steam proceeds to transfer to the turbine the kinetic energy that will make it possible to obtain electricity thanks to the action of the alternator. Once the fluid crosses the turbine the water steam is cooled and condenses inside an additional tank to promote the appearance of water in the liquid state that will be introduced again in the heat exchangerthus giving rise to a second closed circuit known as secondary circuit. Again a pump is responsible for the water to circulate between the condensation tank and the heat exchanger. So far we have described two different closed circuits, the primary and the secondary, but we have left a loose end. In order for the water vapor of the secondary circuit to be condensed inside the condensation tank it is necessary to introduce in the latter cold water. And to do so it is necessary to resort to a third circuit known as external cooling circuit. The water of this last installation comes from the sea or from a river near the nuclear power plant, hence it is necessary to accommodate this type of centrals near one of these two natural resources. In modern nuclear centrals flexibility and redundancy are everything As we have just verified, so that the water that acts as a refrigerant element circulates correctly inside the primary and secondary circuits the action of at least two pumps is necessary, one for each circuit. And, of course, the pumps need electricity to function, like many other elements of the nuclear reactor, such as the pressor, the external cooling circuit pumps or the safety injection pumps. We explain everything in more detail in the article that we dedicate to The control rooms of nuclear centrals. Portable equipment allows all these functions to be performed without having to depend on exterior power supply After Fukushima The safety of all the world’s nuclear power plants was reinforced. They underwent very important stress tests during which all the central parameters were reviewed, especially those that were related to what had happened in Fukushim Baskets on the electricity grid. And once everything was reviewed, the incorporation of a series of measures to mitigate and prevent such accidents was standardized worldwide. This strategy is known as “flex”, which is the flexibility apocope. Nuclear centrals have been designed to Prevent Design Base accidents. This philosophy consists in thinking about what can happen with the purpose of implementing security measures to mitigate them in case they occur. What happens is that in practice, of course, there are accidents that you can not have planned, so in addition to the security systems prior to Fukushima, a series of portable equipment that allow all those functions from outside without having to depend on exterior power supply have been incorporated. They are totally portable and autonomous equipment that are already incorporated into all nuclear plants, and that can also be transported from one central to another in case of need via helicopter or through the military emergency unit (UME). In addition, there are also A central warehouse in Technatom Madrid where there are portable equipment that could be transferred in two or three hours to any Spanish nuclear power plant. As we have just seen, the redundancy of the equipment is also a crucial strategy in nuclear facilities. However, there is another resource that is even more important: The security culture. The training of all people who work in a nuclear power plant is individualized and permanent throughout their professional career.

The strategy that is paying fruits in China

by

After the exchange of Fulfilled, kisses and public hugs between Pedro Sánchez and Xi Jinping During the last days in Beijing there is more than diplomatic protocol. A calculated maneuver is at a critical moment. Spain, with a commercial deficit with China of almost 40,000 million (more than 70% of its total deficit), see in this commercial war a window of opportunity. The strategy is direct: while Europe in internally debate what position to take Before Trump’s commercial war, Spain has chosen unilateral action. Take advantage that China needs European allies against isolation imposed by Washington for get commercial concessions that would be difficult in normal circumstances. The Four signed protocols To unlock pigs of pigs, cherries, medications and cosmetics are the result of this approach. And the interesting thing is that both parties They stage this friendship by finding exactly what they need: Jinping gets the photo that shows that it has not been diplomatically isolated. Sanchez achieves concrete commitments that can begin to correct the commercial imbalance. When the Spanish president says that “Spain sees China as an EU partner” (softening the “competitor and systemic rival” of the European Official Dictionary) is using diplomatic capital to try to get economic advantages. Thinking that this movement is risking a crisis with the United States is an incomplete thought. Spain is in that intermediate and gray space created by Trump when it paralyzed tariffs worldwide except China. This three -month parenthesis is an opportunity to make commercial advantages to China and have better cards when the truce ends and the tension returns. For now Spain has achieved concrete agreements and not only statements of intentionsunlike Brussels, at the moment focused on funambulism between China and the United States. Time will say whether this is enough or not to really advance in the rebalancing of the trade balance. Or if they are nothing more than small symbolic concessions by China. At the moment it seems clear that Spain has achieved something that Europe is still debating: Convert the tension between blocks into good opportunities for its exporters. In other words: fish in a scrambled river. Spain has been able to strain through a narrow and perhaps temporary slit, but it can bear fruit when the world commercial situation stabilizes.

China has responded to the US by putting the global chip industry against the strings. This is your strategy

by

Last April 4 The Chinese government formalized its response to the tariffs approved by the administration led by Donald Trump. On April 10 China will impose a 34% tariff To all Imports from the US. The choice of that day is not casual. And is that the tariffs approved by the Donald Trump administration will take effect on April 9. Just a day before. Presumably the Chinese government has chosen to keep a few days of margin in the hope of reaching an agreement with its American counterpart and relax a little tension. However, China’s response to the US does not only happen to establish new tariffs; He has also chosen to suspend the import licenses of products belonging to six US companies, as well as imposing More export controls of some rare earths. This is not at all the first time that the Xi Jinping government decides to pressure the US and its allies establishing limitations to the export of these raw materials. In fact, on December 21, 2023 the Chinese administration decided to restrict export of some of its rare earth processing technologies, shaping a maneuver that seeks to defend their strategic interests in full confrontation with the US and its allies. And at the beginning of December 2024 He chose to prohibit The export of critical minerals to the nation currently governed by Donald Trump. The US is going to run out of the scandio and beaming from China Since last December China does not export to the US three essential chemical elements for the semiconductor industry (Galio, Germanio and Antimony), as well as some materials that are characterized by their extreme hardness, and which, therefore, can be used for military applications. However, in response to the last tariffs approved by the US The Chinese government has decided Include in its list of transition metals subjected to export controls the Scandio and Disposio. China’s export controls will further tension the global supply chains of the chips These chemical elements are probably less known than metals prohibited by China previously, such as Gallium or Germanio, but are at least as important as the latter. In fact, the Xi Jinping administration has chosen them because it is fully aware of the deep impact that these restrictions will have Not only in telecommunications industries and the manufacture of storage devices, which directly affect, but in the entire global supply chain linked to the semiconductor industry. The scandio is usually used in the radiofrequency modules used by smartphones, base stations and Wi-Fi modules, while the Disprosius is involved in the manufacture of reading and writing heads used by hard discs, and also in the manufacture of electric cars. He China Ministry of Commerce It has prohibited the US export of these metals with immediate effect, so Chinese companies can no longer export products containing scandio, disposium, gadolinio, terbio, lutecio, samarium and ititrio. Presumably the export licenses of these critical minerals will only be granted under certain very strict conditions. However, the ban not only conditions the export of finished products containing these metals; also Denies the export of these gross mineralsin the form of metal or as compounds. Some of the companies that will with all likelihood suffer from the new prohibitions of China’s critical minerals are American, such as Broadcom, Qualcomm, Seagate or Western Digital. But there are also Taiwanese and South Korean companies, such as TSMC or Samsung. In the short term it seems that global geopolitical tensions will not love.

Apple and Samsung have been fleeing from China for years to save costs. Tariffs just torpedo their strategy

by

The Trump administration has announced New tariffs. Some that expand the Commercial War to even more countries and that, inevitably, will have severe consequences in the production and distribution chain of large technological ones. Some of them, such as Apple or Samsung, had been trying to reduce their dependence on Chinese manufacturing, moving part of production to countries like Vietnam. A new tariff of almost 50% for countries like Vietnam has just launched its strategy through the air. The new tariffs. Donald Trump has announced a new set of tariffs for all those products that are imported to the United States. The most affected is the main commercial enemy of the country At the moment: China. Adding previous movements, tariffs to the Asian country amount to 54%. Attending to the rest of the victims on the list, there is a country that is specially injured: Vietnam. The United States has imposed a 46% tariff on one of the barracks of the two technological giants, Apple and Samsung. China’s escape. The production of Apple and Samsung products has been linked to China for years. To reduce this unit, both companies have been trying to diversify the supply chain Moving manufacturing to countries like India or Vietnam. This last country has become one of the most attractive destinations for large technological ones, mainly due to their economic but highly qualified workforce. Its port proximity with China also makes it a strategic point, minimizing friction when importing electronic components. Key products. Apple has been manufacturing the AirPods for years of Vietnam, and the assembly of some key products, such as iPad, has been starting its steps in the country for a few years. Some of its strategic business partners, such as Foxconn, They have been investing for years millions of dollars in the Asian country. More relevant if possible is the case of Samsung, who produces much of its phones in Vietnam. The Korean company has been betting on this country for almost 20 years, having consolidated as one of the main producers of electronic components and devices in the country. Leaving Vietnam, pointing out that India was another strategic points in the supply chain of both manufacturers. One in seven iPhone is already manufactured in Indiaand Samsung carries Since 2018 giving life to Galaxy devices in this country. No one was prepared. Apple and Samsung had been moving production out of China for years not only to minimize costs, but to avoid the consequences of the commercial war between the United States and China. Diversifying the supply chain was key to avoid depending on a single region, as well as to bring production closer to emerging markets with great growth margin. Vietnam, Malaysia, Thailand, India … Each and every one of the alternative destinations to China will suffer a very high tariff load. After years of strategy focused on running from China, the new tariffs make the foundations they had been building for years staggered. And the question is clear. What consequences will they have? Who will pay the duck. Although it seems unlikely that both companies kindly invite consumers to accept an increase in the cost of between 26 and 46%, which seems inevitable is that the products of both manufacturers rise in price not only in the United States, but globally. The tariff storm will force a complete readjustment of the current margins of the main Big Tech, since they will have a significant impact on the global supply chain. Voices of the sector, like Mark Gurman, point out what is “essentially impossible” That there is no price increase in the United States, and members of the Federal Regulations Code (CFR), they point out that these rates will mean an increase in about $ 150 per device.

If we want to eat less, eating more slowly is a valid strategy. In Japan they are investigating how to achieve it

by

Losing weight, or maintaining our weight under control is more than solving the simple calorie equation consumed against burned calories. Numerous more or less hidden factors can unbalance this balance, factors ranging from the metabolic to the sociological. The other factors. A Japanese researchers team He has investigated in how factors such as the number of bites, the rhythms we perceive in our environment and gender affect the duration of food. The goal is to eat more slowly to make us easier to have our weight under our control. Slowly. The idea of ​​stopping the rhythm with which we eat to eat less and be able to lose weight is not new but we can find it in guides and recommendations of More than a decade ago. It is not an infallible recipe, but According to expertsaid. The logic behind has to do with how the stomach and other organs of the digestive system transmit information to the brain and how it processes it. This occurs in two ways: first through nerve impulses, and then through the chemical signal that some hormones transmit. Replicating one of the hormonal signals that indicate that food has satiated us is precisely one of the mechanisms for which the consumption of Drugs like Ozempic makes us lose weight. An aid. Now, even when we talk about a “trick” like this, say it is easier than doing so. That is why the new study has analyzed how different factors affect the speed with which we swallow food. And in this, men and women have differentiated guidelines. “While the science of nutrition often deals with the metabolism and absorption of food, and dietary content, there are limited evidence in Japan that eating behavior connects both (points). This intrigue led me to study eating behavior, which involved gender differences,” pointed in a press release Katsumi Iizuka, co -author of the study. 33 participants. To put these ideas to the test, the team responsible for the study He put pizza portions to 33 participants, healthy adults between 20 and 65. They measured the number of bites and the times they already chewed what rhythm. They also used metronomes and headphones to induce more or less accelerated rhythms to check the response of the participants. As expected, the team observed important differences in the habits of men and women: on average these took longer to eat their portion (87 seconds in front of the 63 d them men). They also chewed more (107 times against 80 on average) and took more bites (more than double). Change the rhythm. However, gender was not the only factor that affected eating habit: rhythmic stimuli affected the time required to consume food. A 40 pulse tempo per minute (BPM) markedly elongated the duration of food compared to those who ate without rhythmic stimulation. The details of the study were published In an article In the magazine Nutrients. Facilitating work. Now, there are also reasons why being cautious when generalizing the results of the study. First, we must take into account the limited sample (33 participants). Second, also for the existence of cultural differences between our context and Japanese. These differences both to gastronomic culture and gender differences between men and women and the way in which each society expects to behave when they eat in public. Despite this, the results can help us design strategies to facilitate weight loss that best suits each person, taking into account, for example, their gender. The study can also allow us to know more about how changes in context can help us influence our eating behavior, such as using music with slow tempos to force more leisurely meals.

Google’s strategy to be the perfect partner of writers and programmers

by

Artificial intelligence chatbots (AI) have come to lend us a hand when words do not come out or the code stuck. They can help write that speech that does not finish flowing or solving doubts in the middle of a programming line. But there is a problem: to move forward with Prompts, one after another, it can end up being an obstacle, especially when we want to focus on a concrete part of the project. So much Chatgpt as Claude They have faced this challenge With a function that acts like a canvas, allowing to work directly on specific parts of the content. Now is Google’s turn, which has just presented the canvas of Gemini. As in the other proposals, we find an interactive window aimed at helping us to improve our work in real time thanks to several commands and format tools. It all starts with a draft. Returning to the example we mentioned at the beginning, if you are thinking of writing a speech to honor someone special, you can start creating a rather basic draft and gradually work the text. We will not have to elaborate a very precise prompt to indicate to Gemini to modify this or that part. It will be enough to mark a paragraph and ask him to rewrite him with a new style. And in programming? If we are working in software development, Gemini Canvas also promise to be very useful. In addition to receiving the classic, it helps to chop code that the wizard can offer us, the “canvas” will allow us to generate and prevail HTML/React code. This will result in that we can have a visual prototype of our web applications, which should help us in programming tasks. But this does not end in the preview. Once we have the preview of our project we can ask Gemini to modify input fields or add action buttons more easily. The combination of Gemini + Canvas should allow us, according to Google, work with Python scripts, as well as creating games that we can try directly in the browser window and run simulations. When will Canvas available in Gemini? Google has just announced the function and is now available worldwide, including the European Union. Acting it is as simple as having a Gemini or Gemini Advanced account. Once inside, you just have to look at the bottom of the chatbot text box, where a new button next to Deep Research now appears. From there, you can directly access this tool. Images | Google In Xataka | The videos of AI have broken the Instagram and Tiktok algorithms. Welcome to the new “AI landscape”

The US strategy before China’s unstoppable naval growth has an unexpected protagonist: Japan

by

The United States has been lagging behind in a field that previously dominated with iron fist. Its Marina fleet (sub) has been reduced to the same time as its budget. While China, Russia or even North Korea have been developing A new type of “war” Under the sea giving special importance to the “nuclear” theme in the UUV, Washington was still paralyzed. He Arctic case It is another perfect example. Perhaps for this reason, the approach has turned radically: Japan. Japan as an example. Before the growing Maritime Power of China And the difficulties facing the naval industry of the United States, Congress is evaluating the possibility of Adopt the Japanese model of constant production of submarines. Unlike the American system, where the amount of built vessels varies annually according to the budget, Japan (next to South Korea) has maintained for decades a production rate of A submarine per yearan approach that has provided stability to its naval industry and cost efficiency. The Naval Congress Specialist, Ronald O’Rourke, presented this model at a hearing of the Subcommittee for the Projection of Forces and Maritime Power of the House of Representatives, arguing that the Japanese strategy allows to maintain an constant acquisition rate Without affecting the total size of the fleet. Instead of increasing production, Japan manages the number of submarines in service through the extension of its useful life. The success of the Japanese model. To understand the formula we must go back in time. For decades, Japan has followed this strategy for protect your maritime interestsespecially in the soybeans, Tsugu and Tsushima, key routes where Russian and Chinese ships travel. Initially, its fleet consisted of 16 operational submarines and two training, but in 2010 it extended its objective to 22 submarines without increasing productionsimply prolonging your service time from 16 to 22 years. There is another key: the Japanese system allows Mitsubishi Heavy Industries and Kawasaki Heavy Industries alternate the manufacture of submarineswhich avoids fluctuations in the workload of the shipyards and guarantees the maintenance of a highly specialized workforce. This strategy has caused the Japanese naval industry to be efficient, competitive and adaptable to changes in defense needs without generating extra costs or logistic problems. In front of the US decline. On the other sidewalk we have Washington. While Japan maintains its stability in naval production, the United States Navy faces A worrying scenario. The construction of your ships has become increasingly expensive and slowand the data corroborates it, since the total cost of the 46 ships currently under construction was tripled in a single year, from 3.4 billion to 10.4 billion dollars. But there is more. The aircraft carriers, which used to take 8 years to build, now They require 11 years. Here, China is advancing on the right too, As we explain. The attack submarines, whose construction took six years in the 2000s, now take nine. Even the Navy faces the shortage of personnel, both in the shipyards and in the crews, which further aggravates delays. All challenges that make the option of adopting the Japanese approach or that of South Korea, two of the world’s largest naval builders, win traction in Washington, especially when the number of US attack submarines is on the way to decrease in the coming yearswhich could affect the balance of power in the Pacific. Japan as a strategic complement. All this leads us to the proposal of Congress. In addition, the strengthening of the Japanese underwater fleet not only reinforces Tokyo’s defense, but also benefits the United States By having a better prepared ally in the region. O’Rourke pointed out that if Japan decided to expand its fleet to 30 submarines, it could do it maintaining its current production rate and extending the useful life of their vessels at 30 years. The recent delivery of RAIGEI Submarineof the Taigei class, by Kawasaki Heavy Industries to the Japan Ministry of Defense, it is a sample of the efficiency of the system we are talking about. Mitsubishi did the same with him Jingei submarinereflecting a constant production scheme that contrasts with the problems of the American naval industry. The challenge in an uncertain political context. While the Japanese model offers clear solutions, its implementation in the United States is not so simple. The main reason? The American system depends on annual budget negotiationswhat generates fluctuations in naval production and hinders long -term planning. In addition, political and economic uncertainty, including possible commercial restrictions and Threat of new tariffs On the part of the Trump administration, they could further complicate any attempt to stabilize the industry. Thus, the things already measure that competition with China in the maritime field intensifies, the US Congress is forced to reconsider its naval construction strategy. Adopting the Japanese model could represent a viable solution to improve efficiency, reduce costs and ensure that the Navy keeps its position on the global stage. A complicated equation that would require deep structural changes In the way in which the country finances and manages its industry, a challenge that is yet to be resolved.

The Z generation has returned to the office with a new strategy against stress: pretend to be very busy

by

In general, all employees are suffering, in one way or another, their own process of Adaptation to the office. However, generation Z is the only one that has not had a Previous work experience Since that context since it has joined the labor market in the middle of the teleworking. That has generated that 36% of Genzers has adopted a new strategy for face the office: The “tasking”. A tactic, which consists in appearing to be superocupated, without really being to fill out the free time they have left after doing their job. Tasking Tasking: The art of looking occupied. If you have been sailing lately for the Instagram or Tiktok reels, they will probably have appeared Some videos (Medium in a half joke seriously), showing how to look very busy in the office, without really doing anything productive. This phenomenon has gained importance as companies require more time in the office, which leads some employees to find ways to demonstrate their worth without necessarily increase their real productivity. Actually, what is hidden after this practice is a deeper problem related to time management, workload and business culture. Returning to the office has no impact on productivity. According to A recent survey carried out by the Workuman Human Resources Platform among 3,000 US participants, the United Kingdom and Ireland, 36% of young people admitted to appear who worked, when in reality he had already finished their assigned work. 70% of them acknowledge that Tasking Tasking has had no effect on their rhythm to carry out their usual work and the tasks assigned in a time below their day have ended. But having to spend more time in the office, they must appear that they still work on them so that their bosses Do not overload them With more work. Yes, in reality, they are more productive. If you have reached this point, having read the two previous paragraphs probably your conclusion, they have managed to do your work in less time of the expected. That makes them more productive employees. Why mask that quality? According to experts consulted by Fortunethe lack of commitment to the values ​​of the company and the belief that their work is not being valued enough, is what could be leading young people to implement this variant of the Silent resignation. The young people only do the work assigned to them, filling the rest of the day with a show in the “productivity theater“That has brought the return to the office. It is not limited only to employees. Pretending to be very busy is not something that is limited to younger employees. The workhuman study has revealed that 38% of senior executives and 37% of intermediate managers pretend to be more busy for the gallery than they really are. Gene generation employees feel their worth It is measured by its presence in the office and their apparent dedication, instead of the real results they deliver. This perception is reinforced by the culture of some companies that The hours worked more value than efficiency. “Your career is not built on the hours you spend on your desktop, but about the results, relationships and reputation. If you do not see the value of being in the office, have an open conversation with your employer. If the culture continues declared to Fortune Victoria McLean, founder of the Labor CITY CV. The causes that cause it. According to the answers obtained by the workhuman study, the main reason for this behavior is to improve the balance between personal and work life, something that generation Z values ​​above all. If your bosses find out what they can do More work in less timethey will assign them much more. When they cannot face him, they must sacrifice personal time to get him forward. That is a red line that They do not plan to transfer. The stress cycle. However, pretending to be productive so that bosses do not assign more work and grow their stress, it contributes precisely to generate a new focus of stress: the constant mental burden involved in maintaining a credible appearance of being busy. Jenni Field, founder and executive director of Redefining Communications assured Fortune that: “If people must be in the office, there must be a clear purpose beyond just being seen, especially if the work could be done from home. If there is no that purpose, employees and managers should work together to define how the witness work should be and address the fundamental causes of the task masking.” In Xataka | Generation Z is being a challenge for companies: 95% of young people manage to escape Image | Unspash (RAD MINE)
