surprising

Against forecast, Mayan languages ​​are seeing a resurgence. The most surprising is where: USA

by

Destiny sometimes has the most unexpected surprises. The arrival of Donald Trump to the United States presidency has put in Diana to immigration as one of the problems Washington administration priorities. At the same time, in a turn of events very difficult to anticipate, Mayan languages ​​are making their way and extending … in the United States. From the highlands to Oakland. I told it in an extensive BBC report last week. Aroldo, a young man from San Juan AtitánGuatemala, undertook a trip of more than four months to arrive in California after the death of his father, carrying little more than his mother tongue: THE MAM. This language, with roots in the Mayan civilization that flourished thousands of years ago, is today one of the many that are finding A new home in the United States through indigenous migration from Mexico and Central America. Yes, far from disappearing, Mayan languages ​​such as Mam and K’iche ‘ They have gained strength On the other side of the border: not only are they heard in streets, Radios and local media of places like San Francisco Baybut they have become some of the languages more common in court United States migratories. Invisibilized community. The story has many readings. One of them: the rise of these languages ​​shows a cultural complexity that has been ignored for decades. The American immigration system Classify as “Hispanics” To all immigrants from Spanish -speaking countries, overlooking that many (such as Aroldo and thousands more) They do not have Spanish as a mother tongue, and even some simply They don’t speak it. This classification erases the social, cultural and linguistic differences that exist within Latin American migrant communities and, very important, complicates the provision of basic services. In this regard, The BBC counted that researchers such as Tessa Scott linguistspecialized in Mam language at the University of California, Berkeley, denounce that grouping all Guatemalans under the label of “Hispanics” generates errors of interpretation, lack of adequate performers, legal difficulties and rising before traumas or structural discrimination, often origin of the exodus itself. Of ancestral languages ​​to today’s rights. There is much more, since the expansion of Mayan languages ​​is not only a consequence of physical displacement, but also cultural resilience. At present, it is estimated that more than six million people speak one of the More than thirty languages existing Maya, with mam, k’iche ‘, Yucateco and q’eqchi’ as the most spoken. These languages, which come of the proto-demand spoken before the year 2000 AC, they are so different from each other that a Mam speaker cannot understand THE K’ICHE ‘and vice versa. Many survived centuries of colonizationto extermination of the hieroglyphs during the Spanish evangelization and to subsequent institutional oblivion. However, its vitality (and use) continues thanks to the orality and use of the Latin alphabet, imposed in colonial times, which allowed them to keep them alive in civil records, testaments and community acts still preserved in files. Mayan codices The Mayan heritage. The British media counted in his report that some of these languages They have left their mark In global languages ​​without many knowing it. He term “cigar”for example, derives from the Maya Siyar, and “cocoa” (chocolate base) also has Mayan origin, being introduced In Europe By Fray Bartolomé de las Casas. Although the hieroglyphic writing was eradicated by being considered pagan, its modern rediscovery, driven from the second half of the twentieth century by American linguists, Russians and more recently by native speakers, has allowed recover your complexity and beauty. Today, groups Like ch’okwoj either Chíikulal uuchben ts’íib They organize workshops, manufacture t -shirts and print cups with old glyphs to bring new generations to their written legacy. A growing diaspora. It is another of the legs that reflect this Language expansion. Mayan migration to the United States has left a mark both in countries of origin and in receiving communities. In places Like San Juan Atitánthe economic model has gone from subsistence agriculture to remittance dependence (sending money from abroad). “Migrating is what our people argue,” affirmed to the BBC Silvia Lucrecia Carrillo Godínez, Mam teacher. Migration has not only transformed its economy, but also its aspirations: learn to add, subtract some Spanish and leave for the United States has become A common strategy of social mobility. Transforming cities. In the Bay of San Francisco, the Mayan communities initially They settled in the Mission Districtbut by increasing the costs of life, many moved to the East Bay, especially Oakland and Richmond. In fact, so much so that they said that in San Juan it was enough to say “I come from Oakland” so that the inhabitants understand the migratory context. There, in the midst of Californian fogs, Aroldo and as many as he has found a community united by language and traditions. Participate in festivities, they receive Mam messages by WhatsApp And they dream of once again built a house in their homeland. Language as shelter. If you want also, in a world where migrations often imply loss, the persistence of Mayan languages ​​represents a form of cultural resistance. In it case exposed in the BBC Through Aroldo, the MAM is not just a means of communication: it is a link with childhood, family and history. In the house where he lives with his cousins, he insists that his nephew (who is already going to an English -speaking school) speaks first Mam, then Spanish, and finally English. As He indicates“The language makes the earth less surprise.” Thus, far from being a vestige of the past, the Mam de los Maya travels with him as a compass and testimony of a living civilization that reinvents himself in an unpublished and surprising way: in the United States now.

We have found bacteria at the Chinese space station. The most surprising thing is that it is a new species

by

Space exploration has an obsession with cleanliness. It is not for less: if we want to look for life on other planets of our solar system we have to make sure that our ships do not lead with them terrestrial life that can lead us to confusion. This is the main reason why space agencies pay enormous attention to microorganisms that may appear in their ships, even in those who do not travel to other planets. Sometimes life gives us surprises. Bacteria on board. Sample analysis taken in the Chinese Space Station Tiangong It has allowed to detect traces of the presence of an unknown bacterium in this aseptic space environment. The newly discovered bacteria would have mechanisms that would have allowed her to stay alive in the extreme conditions of life aboard an orbital station. Niallia tiagongensis. The new species has been baptized as Niallia tiagongensisin reference to the name of the space station placed in orbit by China. Name in turn can translate as “Celestial Palace” N. tiagongensis Share taxonomic gender with the species Niallia Circumsa pathogenic bacterium capable of causing sepsis in immunocompromised patients. The New bacterium It has a cane shape, but it would be able to form spores, oval structures that protect the genetic information of the species in extreme conditions such as high temperatures, radiation or lack of water. N. tiagongensis It could have arrived in this way to the station that has given it. A space bacterium? The evolutionary origin of this bacterium is on earth, but We do not know for now If this new species can be found on the surface or if on the contrary it is the result of the evolution of another bacterium. An evolution that could have occurred aboard the station, allowing the survival of the bacterial colonies. It is also possible that the species has an almost fully terrestrial origin but that its “space colonies” have evolved to better adapt to the new extraterrestrial environment. Two years of study. The samples that have given rise to the finding were collected inside the station In May 2023 by astronauts of the Shenzhou-15 mission. The study of the remains found has allowed to know details on the survival strategy of this microorganism. Genes have been found that encode some responses of these bacteria to some extreme conditions, such as their response to oxidative stress or their ability to repair the damage caused by radiation. For example, we know that this bacterium is capable of generating protective particles obtaining nitrogen and carbon from the decomposition of gelatins. The details of the finding were published In an article In the magazine International Journal of Systematic and Evolutionary Microbiology. From ISS A Tiangong. It is not the first time that we find bacteria aboard a space station. We have detected bacteria years In the International Space Station, so much so that their astronauts began recently began the Life search abroad of the ship. What we can intuit from the fact that we would not have detected the new bacteria in other ships such as the ISS is that there is diversity in the populations of microorganisms that populate the different vehicles and stations that we send to space. A lost race? The news of the new finding has been produced almost at the same time that The announcement by NASA of the detection of numerous species of microorganisms inside one of its “clean rooms”, allegedly aseptic environments designed precisely to maintain devices and vehicles safe from pollution. Bad news, not only before we send (or we have already sent) microorganisms aboard the probes that explore planets and satellites where we suspect can exist or have existed extraterrestrial life. The fact that we know that this life is able to survive in the low terrestrial orbits It does not necessarily imply That these microbes can resist an interplanetary trip, but it is a bad indication.

A French people have to deal with an surprising incidence of ALS. The main suspect is a fungus

by

Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, also known as ELA (ALS in English) is a disease capable of wreaking havoc in our nervous system. Today It has no cure And what we know about its origin is quite limited. Throughout decades of study, we have been discovering risk factors related to the appearance of this disorder but perhaps the strangest was detected a few years ago in a town in the French Alps. The unique case of Montchavin. A few years ago, a group of researchers discovered that the French people of Montchavin, located near the Alpine border with Italy, has a high incidence of ELA. After investigating the case, the team pointed out as possible culprit To a very concrete element of local gastronomy, the fungus Gyromitra gigasa type of false colmenilla or false morilla. ELA. The Amyotrophic lateral sclerosisknown among other names as Lou Gehrig’s disease, is a disease that affects neurons, both in our brain and spinal cord. It is a disease that is progressing until it ends the life of who suffers it. Today we do not know a cure, although there are treatments that relieve Some symptoms and increase the life expectancy of patients. The symptoms of this disease usually appear from the age of 50, although there are earlier cases, and They can start With problems walking, writing or speaking. The disease It generates the loss of muscle strength and coordination capacity, problems that extend to different muscle groups. Unknown cause. Today we have no accurate record of what mechanisms unleash this ailment, although we know Some risk factors correlated with their appearance. What we do know is that about 10% of cases are related to a genetic variant, and that the disease is more common among men than among women. Among the known risk factors are tobacco and exposure to certain environmental toxins. A higher prevalence has also been detected among people who did military service. The incidence of this disease It is between one and 2.6 annual cases per 100,000 inhabitants; with an approximate prevalence of about six cases per 100,000 per 100,000 people. An enigma in the French Alps. A few years ago, the cases of Montchavin unleashed the curiosity of the French neurologist Emmeline Lagrange. The health and its team accounted for 14 cases of ELA diagnosed between 1990 and 2018 linked to residents in this town, including migrants and people who had their second residence in Montchavin. Examining the case, the team did not find genetic factors that could justify the high incidence in the town. Although they found cases of smokers, they also ran into healthy habits in the group. Nor did they find clues of possible pollutants in land, air or water, or radon traces, a pollutant that could also be linked to this disease. From Pacific to France. As the journalist Terence Monmany narrates In an article For the medium Knowablethe team found a thread to throw on the remote island of Guam. On this island located in the archipelago of the Mariana Islands, in the Western Pacific, another team had detected a possible relationship between the consumption of potentially toxic seeds and the prevalence of neurological diseases (including ELA) among the natives. Although science is not settled in the causes of this epidemic, this hypothesis placed the consumption of food in the center of the debate. According to Detaine Monmanythe native chamorros treated these seeds with water to reduce their toxicity before their culinary preparation. This process would not be able to eliminate all toxins, giving rise to subsequent neurological damage. Gyromitra gigas. Something similar could be happening in Montchavin, not with seeds but with a mushroom. As the team observed, the cases could be drawn up to people linked to the collection and consumption of the fungus Gyromitra gigasa type of false morilla. It is a fungus in a toxic principle, but that, as in the case of Guam, can be treated to reduce its toxicity. In spite of this, the team maintains in its work that the incidence of the ELA in the town can be linked to its toxins and DNA lesions caused by these in the long term. The details of that study were published in 2021 In an article In the magazine Journal of the Neurological Sciences. A spurious relationship?

The European car industry has a problem with US tariffs. Your solution is surprising: India

by

An attack in a commercial war, a negotiation proposal and a closed door to lime and song. This can be summarized in the last days in the relationship between the United States and the European Union. On April 2, Donald Trump confirmed that the 25% tariffs on cars and the pieces for their production that will go through their borders. At the same time, he also confirmed that he would apply tariffs to almost all countries in the world. The base rate of these last tariffs is 10%. From there, the United States will apply tariffs that climb depending on the commercial deficit that has with those countries and that, according to its president, apply hidden commercial barriers. The European Union will pay 20%. Japan 24%. The threat already amounts to 104% for China. The answers have been diverse. China answered the first tariffs raising commercial barriers, which has cost him the threat we wrote above. Japan has sent emissaries to try to reach an agreement. Europe has put its own proposal on the table: 0% tariffs in the two directions For cars and industrial goods. The answer has been overwhelming. For Donald Trump this is not enough and is not open to negotiate in those terms. In the air a trade is at stake that in 2024 moved 38.9 billion euros. They are the ones paid by the United States for cars from Europe. To them we must add those manufactured by European companies in Mexico and Canada, to which these commercial barriers are also applied. The measure is hard and puts a sector, that of the automobile, which uses more than 13 million people in Europe and did not cross their best moment. In China, European manufacturers are finding huge difficulties in placing their cars now that the market has set their eyes on local manufacturers. In the United States, the production of the product only leaves three ways. One of them is to stop sending cars or stop selling them, as Volkswagen and Mercedes are doing with some models. The second option is manufacture locally But limiting the pieces that arrive from the outside, which is a expensive reinvestment. The third, and last, is to absorb tariffs to a greater or lesser extent and try to limit the rise in the final price. All these options attack the results account of the great European manufacturers. Good because they will sell less, because it will cost them more expensive to manufacture or for the sum of both conditions. Therefore, they already look where their factories or their products can be transferred. India seems to open the arms. 100% to 10% The Indian market is unexplored by large European manufacturers. The difficulties in operating there are maximum. The example is totally contrary to Japanese. In the Japanese country There are no tariffs to the importation of vehicles for local sale. However, the client is particular. In the big cities You can barely sell cars Because regulations on space force a parking space. They do not require Kei Caran extremely narrow and cheap type of car that in Japan dominates perfectly. India, however, is a very protectionist country. Tesla knows the challenge. In 2016 he already tried to enter there opening reserves of their cars for 1,000 euros. Almost a decade later their owners did not have the car or money. Tariffs are 15%… as long as Do not enroll more than 8,000 units When it comes to an electric. An extremely low figure that discourages the industry to sell large amounts of vehicles. Especially since they demand three -year investments seen In addition, so far they have had another problem. The potential client needs extremely cheap cars and with Very specific technical issuesas a free height to the ground higher than usual since the roads are in very poor condition. Adapting cars is a company to spend money on developing a product that must compete in extremely low prices. However, Europe seems to be willing to reach an agreement with India. And India is willing to listen to Europe and open the door. This is what they maintain in Reuters which ensure that the European Union and the Asian country are looking for a Agreement to reduce tariffs of import that are now 100%. In the news agency they point out, however, that although India is willing to reach a 10%tariff. Local manufacturers such as Tata or Mahindra press to impose their conditions. These are not going down 70% in tariffs on gasoline cars and gradually reduce tariffs up to 30% in successive phases. Of course, in the case of the electric car they do not want to reduce tariffs until 2029. Negotiation comes just when the United States has also pointed in the same direction. As we counted, Tesla has long wants to enter the market but Negotiations have intensified Since 2023. A four million vehicle market is juicy enough to seek solutions now that relations between the United States and Europe harden. Manufacturing in India is also an opportunity for manufacturers to give out to their lowest vehicles. The industry has long proclaimed that selling electric cars of 20,000 euros is not profitable in current conditions. That’s why Automotive News He pointed out that the Volkswagen Group has been evaluating this possibility. Carlos Tavares, at the head of Stellantis in 2022, I also pointed that India was one of the markets to conquer. And, according to ReutersByd has also shown interest in entering the country.

Tomtom has studied cities with the worst traffic jams and in Spain there is a surprising own name: Valencia

by

In many cities, life is what happens between Atasco and traffic jam. It is an evil with which you have to live in the big cities: a great offer, but also a high car mobility that generates those jams. And the big problem is not that traffic jams stole time, but They take money from us. How long do we lose the Spaniards in traffic jams and what are the most angry cities? The annual ranking elaborated By Tomtom he has the answer and Barcelona does not surprise anyone as the most stuck city in Spain. What is a surprise Optra City of the Mediterranean: Valencia. The analysis. First of all, it must be said that Tomtom, one of GPS navigation specialists, has published his ranking for almost 15 years. In it, we can see worldwide circulation data that includes 500 cities of six continents and more than 737,000 million kilometers traveled by cars are taken into account. Important: the data They correspond to the paths in 2024 of the cars that incorporate their GPS technology in one way or another, so, although it is representative due to the popularity of the brand, the minutes may vary with respect to other analysis. That said, the ranking of Spanish cities with more jams is as follows: Time Lost in Transcos per year Average time to make 10 km Barcelona 87 hours 31 ‘, 13’ ‘ Madrid 64 hours 24 ‘, 44’ ‘ Valencia 62 hours 26 ‘, 18’ ‘ Valladolid 54 hours 20 ‘, 5’ ‘ Seville 54 hours 21 ‘, 46’ ‘ Palma de Mallorca 49 hours 17 ‘, 5’ ‘ Malaga 45 hours 20 ‘, 7’ ‘ Las Palmas 44 hours 18 ‘, 50’ ‘ Vitoria-Gasteiz 44 hours 22 ‘, 54’ ‘ Murcia 43 hours 17 ‘, 16’ ‘ Grenade 43 hours 17 ‘, 49’ ‘ Santa Cruz de Tenerife 42 hours 17 ‘, 5’ ‘ La Coruña 40 hours 19 ‘, 26’ ‘ Pamplona 40 hours 21 ‘, 52’ ‘ Saragossa 37 hours 21 ‘, 5’ ‘ Alicante 37 hours 20 ‘, 16’ ‘ Vigo 37 hours 20 ‘, 53’ ‘ Gijón 36 hours 21 ‘, 53’ ‘ Cartagena 35 hours 19 ‘, 45’ ‘ Santander 35 hours 18 ‘, 44’ ‘ Oviedo 33 hours 16 ‘, 42’ ‘ San Sebastián 28 hours 16 ‘, 10’ ‘ Cordova 27 hours 16 ‘, 54’ ‘ Cádiz 26 hours 17 ‘, 13’ ‘ Bilbao 24 hours 16 ‘, 48’ ‘ Top 3. Something interesting is that, above and we take the indicator we take as a reference, the photo does not change too much. That is, if we apply the medium time filter through a 10 -kilometer route, Barcelona, ​​Valencia and Madrid are the first three, in that order. If we apply the lost hours every year, the thing changes a bit with Barcelona first and, far from the Catalan city, Madrid and Valencia, much more couples among them. vs 2023. There are other indices that we can play with, such as the level of congestion (being, again, Barcelona that rises with first position) and the one that can be more interesting: the change in second time by traveling 10 kilometers between 2023 and 2024. Many cities go that time (30 seconds less in Zaragoza or Valladolid, 10 seconds in Murcia, Granada, Málaga or Madrid), but in others, that time increases. The palm is taken by Barcelona (50 more seconds in the average compared to 2023) and Valencia (40 seconds). In this sense, we might think that Dana I could have a role in statistics. More affected the surrounding areas and municipalities, but also In important roads and Valencian ringings, such as the V-30 surrounding the capital. Kilometers of withholdings were generated that could have negatively affected this ranking and we will have to wait for the 2025 version to see if the times are consolidated or, as we comment, they are the result of an unfortunate event. Not far from neighbors. Ok, but … what happens to the rest of Europe? Well, everything depends on the indicator we take. According to Tomtom, Dublin data with 155 hours, Bucharest with 150 and Brussels with 118 hours are the ones that make their drivers losing the longest. If we apply the average time in traveling 10 kilometers, the thing changes. London is the one that takes the palm with 33 minutes and 17 seconds, Dublin the second with 32 minutes and 45 seconds and Barcelona the third with 31 minutes and 13 seconds on average. Urban tolls. As we say, we must bear in mind that these are data obtained based on the time of devices and Tomtom software, so the photo can vary a bit if other indicators are taken into account. And the big question is … Is there a solution to the traffic jams in the big cities? There are those who think they have the answer. New York was in 2023 a hell, but in two weeks and applying an urban toll for driving through the center, The situation changed radically. With tolls of almost 14 euros for driving, the effects soon made note. According to the City Councilthe average travel in the area affected by the toll were made to an average about 11.4 km/h. They ensure, however, that the speed in the entrance bridges to the city have increased between 30 and 40%. In London this measure It was also applied A while ago, reducing rolled traffic in 30% In some areas, but as demonstrated by Tomtom, the British city remains a monster colossal dominated by traffic. We will see how the photo of the Spanish cities is in 2025 and, above all, what happens to cases such as Barcelona and the Valencian, which is the one that really surprises in the Tomtom table. And, beyond Tomtom’s numbers, as a curiosity for interactive map lovers, the DGT has one in which, in real time, we can see the Status of Spanish Roads. Image | … Read more

The surprising thing is that you are winning those judgments

by

Luxury car manufacturers lead the extreme care for reputation of their brand and, for that reason, Ferrari or Bugatti can put in Black lists to customers They have not used their cars with due respect to which your brand represents. However, Tesla is going much further in China. Is demanding By defamation to anyone who criticizes their cars: the most striking thing is that they are winning almost all judgments against journalists and clients disenchanted with the quality of their cars. Without the right to complain Elon Musk, CEO of Tesla and owner of X has described himself as an absolutist of freedom of expression. However, the same does not seem to comment when others who exercise that Freedom to express your anger or disappointment with the quality of the cars that Tesla manufactures in its Shanghai factory in China. In recent months, the company has taken energetic measures against criticisms of their cars, demanding clients and journalists who express negative opinions about their products and services in the Asian country. According to The published By Associated Press, that was the case of Zhang Yazhou, owner of a Tesla Model 3 who suffered an accident due to defective brakes that ended with his injured parents in a hospital. After the incident, Yazhou publicly showed his indignation sitting on the roof of his injured tesla, which was waiting for repair against a Tesla dealership, with a megaphone by proclaiming the manufacturing defects of his car. On the side of the car you could read on a banner “Failure in the Tesla brakes”. The image went viral in China. Tesla responded to Yazhou’s complaints demanding it by defamation. The Chinese court failed in favor of Tesla, condemning Yazhou to pay a compensation of $ 23,000 to the brand and to apologize publicly for its criticisms. “As a consumer, even if I said something wrong, I have the right to comment and criticize. I talked about my feelings as a car user. It has nothing to do with damaging his reputation,” Yazhou told AP. Tesla gigafactoría in Shanghai This is not an isolated case. According to published Associated Press In another article, Tesla has won 11 of these demands presented to clients, bloggers or media that have criticized the brand, while others are in the process of appeal or have been resolved outside the courts through agreements. One of the reasons why Tesla has achieved such a remarkable judicial support In China it is because of the support that Elon Musk’s brand receives from the Chinese government. It should be remembered that the company was the first foreign brand to have permission to build a factory in China without the need to associate with local companies or the government. A mandatory practice that all foreign companies had to comply. In addition, Tesla enjoys advantages such as tax exemptions and better advantageous credit conditions that do not enjoy other companies. This preferential treatment also extends to the regulatory sphere. Tesla obtained the approval of the Chinese government, Elon throughto test the FSD autonomous driving system in its territory. This institutional support to the company directed by Elon Musk also It has its reflection in Chinese justice And according to Associated Presshas a name and surname. “The commercial and political success of Tesla in China has depended on the support of a powerful patron: Li Qiang, the former head of the Shanghai party who is now China’s prime minister,” published the American media. The relationship between Tesla and Li Qiang has been key, since the now number two of Xi Jiping has acted several times as a facilitator in the implementation of Tesla in China, and Elon Musk boasts of your good relationship With the Chinese politician. During a visit to the Shanghai factory in 2020, the then Secretary of the Communist Party already admitted that Tesla could count on all his support. “We will give all our support to the next construction of Tesla projects and we hope that Tesla will expand cooperation with Chinese companies in clean energy and transport.” The Chinese market is one of the most important for Tesla. According to Tesla datadespite high competitiveness, in 2024 the model and remained as best -selling car in China with an increase of 5.24% compared to the previous year. However, 2025 has not started with good foot And the figures begin to falter with a decrease of 11.5%, As published Hybrids and electrical. Sueing those who are critical of the brand do not seem to have stopped that decrease in sales.

50 years of research on depression psychotherapy leave a surprising fact: we have not improved anything

by

Since the 70s, hundreds of studies have examined the effects of psychotherapies against the depression. They have done it with many different experimental approaches and designs. They have done it insistently and, as if that were not enough, in an increasing number. That has allowed us to know two things: the first is that psychotherapies They are effective. The second is that this effectiveness has not moved an apex in 50 years. How can we know? To begin with, thanks to Pim Cuijpers, Professor Emeritus of Clinical Psychology at Amsterdam University. He and a team of researchers They gathered 562 randomized controlled trials that had been published in the last 50 years. These essays are the highest methodological quality that are currently (although, as the authors point out, average Caldiad is not as high as it should). In total, the researchers gathered information of 66,361 patients. Most American adults, but with a significant number of people from other countries. From there, they only had to weigh the interventions, the results and see what happened. What did they find? To begin with, they found that psychotherapies work. In fact, his conclusions were that, as the years go by (and studies), the “evidence that psychotherapies are effective is solid and grows over the years.” The surprise was not that, of course. The surprise was that, for many studies that have been added over the years, “they found no sign that the effects of therapies (psychological against depression) have improved.” None. The effectiveness of these treatments has remained surprisingly stable throughout all these years. And how does all this leave psychotherapy? In a strange situation. In a context in which the consumption of benzodiazepines does not stop growing (and, remember, Spain is World Ansiolithic Consumption Leader With more than 91 daily doses per 1,000 inhabitants), psychotherapies appear as an effective solution; But we are not improving. That is, we have a tool, but we cannot climb it. If the problem continues to grow (and is doing it), we will need more and more resources. Resources that, from the financial crisis and despite the concern of recent years, do not seem to be arriving. The question is no longer “What are we failing“,” Why we can’t improve more “,” where is what limits us to go further “, which also: the question is how we do it better. And it is urgent to find an answer. Image | Cuijpers et Atls | Nik Shuliahin In Xataka | Work stress as germ of depression: work pressure enhances mental disorders

Her best looks and her surprising makeover on her 25th birthday
