The blockade of ingredients to Nazi Germany led Coca Cola to throw away whey and apple pulp

by

When you open a Fanta, you hardly think about World War II. However, this fruit-flavored drink was born in 1940 within Nazi Germany. It was a solution from Coca-Cola, owner of the brand, to the blockade of ingredients that the allies imposed on the country. Quite a commercial turn that would result in one of the company’s most popular drinks. To block. In September 1939, when Germany invaded Poland and the United Kingdom and France declared war on the Third Reich, the economic consequences spread far beyond the battle fronts. American multinationals that maintained industrial ties with German territory saw communication with their subsidiaries interrupted. The British naval blockade closed the ports; Trade with the United States, which had grown throughout the previous decade, stopped. The Coca-Cola situation. The company had been operating in Germany since 1929. Max Keith was a German manager who had assumed control of the subsidiary and built a giant infrastructure from scratch with bottling plants and distribution networks. He had even managed to produce on his own seven of the nine secret ingredients. But the concentrated syrup traveled to Germany from Atlanta, headquarters of Coca-Cola. When the embargo cut off that supply, the plants ground to a halt. The alternative was closure, but Keith did not give in. The remains. What he did was look for substitutes in what he had at hand, waste from other food industries. How did I count? expert Mark Pendergrast“what was left of what was left”: whey, a byproduct of cheese making; leftover apple pulp from cider presses; fruit peels; beet sugar, because cane sugar was a luxury… the resulting liquid was a brownish yellow, much less sweet than any modern soft drink, and its flavor changed from batch to batch depending on what ingredients were available. A name. Keith gathered his team to name the drink. He asked them to use their imagination, Fantasy. And from there the name came directly, with the advantage that it worked in almost any language without the need for translation or phonetic adaptation. It was an immediate success: in 1943 Coca-Cola sold approximately three million cases of Fanta in Germany. AND although the soft drink never had a direct connection with the NazisKeith did manage to integrate his advertising into the regime’s events, including the 1936 Berlin Olympics. In fact, he could have registered Fanta in his own name, but he did not do so. A success. Fanta was not drunk solely as a soft drink. Sugar rationing was so severe in wartime Germany that in many German homes it was used for sweeten soups and stews. Keith had obtained a partial exemption from sugar rationing in 1941, making it not only a soft drink, but also an accessible sweetener. It was not an isolated case. Fanta was not a rarity. The World War II food industry reformulated several products forced by embargoes and rationing. Nescafé, launched in 1938arose from the need to dispose of surplus Brazilian coffee at a time of commercial crisis: its soluble format allowed it to be distributed under difficult logistical conditions, and it became a standard supply for the American army. Margarine was a substitute for butter in times of Napoleonic shortages, and experienced a second massive expansion in Europe in the 1940s because butter was rationed. Post-war. When Coca-Cola relaunched Fanta in Naples in April 1955 with an orange formula made from local citrus, the name was the only thing connecting it to post-war Germany. The Italian company SNIBEG had developed the recipe on its own and Coca-Cola bought itgiving it the name of the one who already had the intellectual property. From there it grew: it arrived in the United States in 1958 and expanded globally throughout the 1960s and 1970s. Conflictive spot. However, the drink’s German past loomed large over the brand in 2015, when Coca-Cola launched a special edition in Germany for Fanta’s 75th anniversary. It was a reissue of the original recipe, with 30% whey and apple extract, distributed in glass bottles that evoked the design of the 1940s. He video campaign was especially inappropriatesince he only talked about ingenuity in times of scarcity and ignored the reason for that ingenuity: war embargoes against Nazi Germany. He concluded by inviting viewers to recover “the feeling of the good old days.” The video was removed after frontal rejection by the public and press. It was inevitable then to remember brands like Volkswagenwhose name directly alludes to the Nazi regime’s automotive program and whose plants used forced labor during the war; or like Hugo Bosswhich made military uniforms for the SS and Wehrmacht; or as the German subsidiary of IBM, Dehomagwhich provided the regime with punch card technology that allowed entire populations to be censused, classified, and tracked with a speed that manual methods made impossible. Origins that are sometimes murky due to the context, but that leave a few questions in the air about the inhumane role of any industry. Which includes the sparks of life. Header | Wikipedia

Yes, next year I am going to carry the V-16 beacon because they force me to. It doesn’t even occur to me to throw away the triangles

by

January 1, 2026 we will say goodbye to the triangles. Or maybe I would have to say that “we should say goodbye to triangles.” Because that is what the DGT wants. Traffic has decided that in just over two months, the V-16 beacon will be the one that signals breakdowns or accidents that occur on the road. And by the way, it prohibits the use of triangles. And I will say that, when I need them, I will continue using them. It’s not a tantrum. It is not a question of simple rebellion because I have to spend 30, 40 or 50 euros on a new accessory for my car. It is as simple a question as deciding what is best for my safety, that of my passengers and that of my car. A good (but improvable) idea I am not one of those who rant about the V-16 light for the simple fact that the DGT forces us to spend money on a new accessory for our car. I think it has its good parts but I also think it has some things that could be very improved. And, above all, I don’t understand why both devices cannot be combined. According to the DGT, we are experiencing a kind of epidemic of abuses when it comes to put emergency triangles in our country. Well, there are reasons to be skeptical. Between the years 2018 and 2022 (that is, a period that includes before and during the COVID-19 pandemic), an annual average of between 18 and 26 people died in accidents “after getting off the vehicle” on high-capacity roads, as reflected in the document itself which explains why the regulations and technical requirements of this connected V-16 beacon are changed. The DGT highlights the year 2019, the year in which 58 pedestrians lost their lives on high-capacity roads, of which 18 people were run over “after getting off the vehicle” by a particular group. In those five years, there were 108 pedestrian deaths on our roads that can be classified in that particular group. According to data collected by Statista8,615 people died on our roads between 2018 and 2022. That is, 1.25% of those killed on Spanish roads died from a collision under these circumstances. But the most problematic thing about the matter is that these very particular circumstances do not reflect the abuses that occurred while a person placed a triangle. Are you looking for that number? The DGT does not offer it. It talks about accidents on high-capacity roads but does not pay attention to the number of accidents when putting the triangles. That is, the organization is putting a patch on a problem for which we do not have clear or verifiable data. Yet, I break a spear for of the connected V-16 beacon. It seems like a good idea to have a system in the car that warns of an obstacle on the road and that can be installed on the roof of our car without having to get out of the vehicle. And all this despite the fact that it is already mandatory to start the car flashing. It also doesn’t seem like a bad idea to me that the beacon connects with the DGT in its platform 3.0 and so from Traffic they can give notice through the road panels that there is an obstacle on the road. Of course, notifying the emergency services is the responsibility of the driver and passengers. It would be appreciated if, since there is connectivity with DGT 3.0, Traffic would study fluid communication with these emergency services. Not to mention that in all new cars sold there is already the function eCall to sound the first alarm. I will continue wearing the triangles That said, I will continue to carry emergency triangles in my car. And I threaten to use them! (Insert image of Abraham Simpson yelling at the clouds here) No jokes. I have already seen the V-16 beacon in operation connected to the DGT in operation and I am sorry to say that its visibility level during the day and in good light tends to zero. I fully agree with what A few days ago José Lagunar expressedroad safety expert Auto FMin the article in which we asked three voices to give us their opinion. In broad daylight, the differences between setting the DGT V-16 beacon and activating the car’s flashing are: none. In fact, it should give us a clue about this that Netun Solutions, the creators of the invention and the first beacon approved by the DGT, are already selling us “more powerful” lights than the minimum required by Traffic. Will I put the beacon on the roof of my car? Well yes, because it is of no use to me to buy it and carry it in the glove compartment. Furthermore, the connection with DGT 3.0 to alert by the lights is welcome. But I will also put the triangles. With great care and with all the caution in the world but I consider that it improves visibility in case of breakdown. And we’re talking about a highway in broad daylight. But, What happens on a secondary road with a sharp curve? And with a pronounced change in gradient? Not putting emergency triangles in those situations, especially during the day where the light beam from the V-16 beacon is diluted, seems at least dangerous to me. In those cases, it is essential for me to place the emergency triangles. I am firmly in favor of the fact that both systems can coexist. The connected V-16 light doesn’t seem like a bad invention to me. At night, for example, the visibility of the triangles improves and even in a secondary vehicle in the above conditions it is likely to alert the rest of the vehicles sooner than the triangles. But if you use a battery, you are only forced to run it for 30 minutes. What happens if I am left stranded with … Read more

Russia wants to know how trips will affect us to Mars, so you will throw a thousand flies and 75 mice in a rocket

by

He Baikonur Cosmodrome, in Kazakhstanhe has witnessed the launch of the Soyuz-2.1b rocket that has put the mission into orbit Bion-M No. 2. This Russian space agency project, Roscosmos, is a crucial step in the investigation of the effects of the microgravityand above all, the Cosmic radiationabout living organisms. But on board they are not human, but travel flies or mice, among other organisms. A varied crew on the ship. As if it were Noah’s ark, 75 mice are found in this ship, more than 1,000 fruit fliescellular crops, microorganisms and plant seeds. For a month, these ‘bionautas’ will orbit the earth in a polo pole trajectory, at an altitude that will expose them to the levels of cosmic radiation significantly higher than those experienced in the International Space Station. A “high -tech mice hotel”. The true protagonists of this mission are the 75 mice, who will travel in a specially designed passenger cabin: a “mini hotel”. Each unit is equipped with food, lighting, ventilation and waste systems to guarantee their well -being during the trip. In addition, chips have been implemented in some of the rodents to be able to monitor the constants in real time. Scientists have divided mice into three groups to compare the results. The first will remain on earth in normal conditions, which is what we call in science ‘control group’. The second will live in a land laboratory in flight equipment identical to those of the satellite. The third group, of course, will be the one who travels to space. In this way, the effects of the space flight of other variables can be isolated. Why are they chosen to mice. It has already become an iconic image to see how in biomedical research Mouse is used as the ideal test ‘subject’. And it is not a coincidence. The mouse has a genetic very similar to human, they have a short life cycle to see changes throughout several generations and are very economical to maintain and feed. On the other hand, for this specific investigation the mice They are very radiation sensitiveso they make it the ideal subjects to give us more information on the effect of this physical phenomenon. It has important implications for our health. The objective of this mission is clear: knowing how this radiation will affect astronauts traveling to the moon or Mars. Cosmic radiation In the long term you can damage cell DNAdrastically increasing the risks of long -term cancer, and what you want is to quantify the real damage and prove countermedons as armor for ships and drugs that avoid these undesirable effects. But it also has medical applications here on Earth. Its results can give us more weapons to fight aging, since the rapid loss of bone and muscle mass suffered by astronauts is a perfect model to study osteoporosis and sarcopenia to find new treatments. There are more research apart from mice. In collaboration with the Vernadsky Institute of Geochemistry and Analytical Chemistry, the mission transports 16 test tubes with dust simulations and lunar rocks. The objective is to study how radiation and space emptiness affect these materials, information of great value for the future development of lunar bases. Other experiments on board will investigate the susceptibility of organisms to radiation, the development of new life support systems and possible medical benefits in the earth derived from spatial biological research. Continuing the legacy of the bion-m No. 1. This mission It was launched in 2013 And he also spent 30 days in the orbit. However, the new mission will orbitate a 97 degree inclination, which will increase exposure to cosmic radiation compared to its predecessor. It is not the first time that it is investigated in space. There are many precedents that exist of space missions that have aimed at investigation. For example, I know analyzed the potential risks of fertility in space in mice or even the Japanese wanted to see If you can procreate in space through mouse embryos. Images | Spacex Joshua J.

After weeks of concern, the Mediterranean is very close to normal. The heat wave threatens to throw everything into the fret

by

Something has changed sharply in the Mediterranean Sea: its temperature. If a few weeks ago the sea that unites Europe, Africa and Asia burning, now the surface temperature of the sea has plummeted to almost normal values, only slightly above what we could expect during these summer dates A few tenth. The latest data on the surface temperature in the Mediterranean Sea have given us good news in the form of stabilization. According to the data Of the coastal observation and prediction system of the Balearic Islands (Socib), as of August 7, the Mediterranean surface is, on average, at 26.03º Celsius. This implies an anomaly was 0.54º Celsius, that is, the sea is more than half a hot than what would correspond at this time. As a contrast, in the middle of June We reported that this anomaly was 2.26º. East to the west. The sea temperature has decreased on average, but has also changed in its distribution. A few weeks ago the focus of the heat was in the Western Mediterranean, while to the east the temperatures were warm but more moderate. Now it happens just the other way around. According to the Socib datathe average west temperature of the Mediterranean is 25.01º, which implies a thermal anomaly of 0.29º. Meanwhile, the eastern side is at 27.06º, 0.81º more than what would be normal in that area and on these dates. A very diverse sea. The data allow us to analyze the change in different regions and, perhaps the area where this change is most palpable, the Northwest Mediterranean. Here, at the beginning of July the thermal anomaly was around four degrees. Now is the most “normal” area of the sea, with a positive anomaly of only 0.17º. Another of the spotlights a few weeks ago was in the surroundings of the Balearic Islands, especially in the waters of the National Park of the Cabrera Archipelago. In these areas, thermal anomaly on June 12 was 3rd and 3.18º respectively. Now, the environment of the Balearic archipelago is only 0.36º above the average, while the waters of the Cabrera archipelago have an anomaly of 0.35º. What happened? June was an extremely warm month in Spain, but it was also hotter than normal in other areas. The absence of section of section and high insolation made the Mediterranean a boiling pot, but the month of July was different. The arrival of a time less torrid in a month of July in which the storms took the prominence in the Mediterranean basin changed this. “Thanks to the dynamics of atmospheric circulation in recent weeks, with the passage of different troughs, the surface waters of the Mediterranean already draw a panorama with a more normal spatial variability,” explained on social networks The physicist, disseminator and researcher at Aemet JJ German. Without throwing the bells on the flight. The descent of temperatures is great news: a Mediterranean too warm increases the risk of storms and copious rainfall like the ones we see in Danas and in episodes of “cold drop”. The question now is to know if this stabilization will be lasting or if we will see a new thermal rebound in marine waters. August has started with a heat wave in Spain with reach beyond the peninsula. June’s thermal rest has ended and we do not know how this change to the waters of the Mediterranean will affect. The issue is relevant due to the environmental and meteorological problems that this overheating would imply.

airlines that throw the towel

by

The arrival of AVE Ha Galicia has completely changed flights between Santiago de Compostela and Madrid. The increase in frequencies and the possibility of reaching the city in three hours has made the train a more than attractive option to travel in the day. That has its direct consequences on the plane: less squares and more expensive. Four more times. Right now, traveling from Santiago de Compostela to Madrid and returning in the day is up to four times more expensive by plane than by train. According to The voice of Galiciaflying with Iberia early in the morning from Galicia and returning the next day, also early in the morning, you can shoot at 480 euros. However, going out with Avlo at 5:47 hours and returning to Santiago at 10:19 p.m. on the last train that leaves Madrid to Galicia costs about 123 euro. That is, choosing the plane would be up to four times more expensive than traveling by train. Not only in the short term. In Xataka We wanted to check if the situation is repeated in the long term. Using the flight comparator Skyscanner To find the cheapest combinations and look for the lowest pricing days, we have gone to Tuesday, July 15. That day, go by plane From Galicia to Madrid with departure early in the morning and further at night, at least 217 euros is always combined with Iberia and Ryanair. Of course, we would arrive at least at 11:35 to Madrid. To arrive an hour earlier to the capital you have to disburse 311 euros if you travel with Iberia and 395 euros if it is done with Vueling. Nor is it cheap for those who work in Madrid and want to enjoy the weekend in Galicia. Thento leave Monday early in the morning and return on Friday at the last minute costs a minimum of 169 euros (combining Ryanair and Iberia). If we fly alone with Iberia, it’s 240 euros. Day and back comparison on the day by plane and train And by train? With an eye on the long term, go and return in the day by train from Santiago de Compostela to Madrid costs on Tuesday, July 15, 76.40 euros, both trips with avlo. If we chose to leave a Monday early and return Friday in the late afternoon, everything stays at 98 euros. That is, the round trip on the day is much cheaper by train (76.40 euros compared to the, minimum, 217 euros) but it is also cheaper if we choose to spend the whole week in Madrid and travel to Galicia on the weekend, with options that are at least 71 euros cheaper. Comparison Airplane and train on Monday and return on Friday What happened? In The voice of Galicia They explain that the price of traveling with Iberia has triggered because they have delegated the service on Air Nostrum, which use aircraft with 80 less seats, which significantly reduces the offer of seats by plane. This makes them more expensive and, they emphasize, more complicated to get. In Santiago de Compostela they do not understand the change. Carlos García, from Civic Forum, points to the local newspaper that “it is not understood that Iberia’s first flight with Madrid, which was going to the flag every day, become operated by Air Nostrum (…) We are paying the most expensive locations than ever. “ Two business models. To the reduction in the places offered that the plane has lost competitiveness of schedules in front of the train, especially for those who aspire to spend a work day in Madrid in a timely manner but want to return to Galicia that same day. Right now, the first flight that lands in Madrid from Santiago de Compostela does so at 10:35 am, when the working day is already well advanced. To this you have to add the time of displacement From the plane touches land until you arrive from Barajas to the city. And the time in advance that must be used to get to the airport adds to the last flight of Iberia leave at 19:50, significantly reducing the possibility of taking advantage of the full day. The train, however, comes out and reaches the city itself. It has an exit from Santiago de Compostela before six in the morning, arriving in Madrid before nine. That is, more than an hour and a half before (to which the subsequent displacement must be added). Although the last avlo leaves at 8:23 p.m., it is also more competitive because it requires less logistics to arrive. More competitive. Although the plane, in theory, takes an hour and a half less than a journey, the train has become the ideal means of transport for those who aspire to have a work day in Madrid and return that same day. If the time spent to get to the airport is added, pass the security control and embark, the three hours of train are already compensated. And, in addition, they allow you to take better advantage of time on board if we need an internet connection because, although they continue to have connection problems, On the plane it is completely disconnected If you want to work with some fluidity. Cases that are repeated. The Santiago de Compostela-Madrid case is another example of how high speed can be eaten to the plane. The reduction of seats and the renunciation of trips early in the morning reflects how airlines have thrown the towel on this concrete route. At least to look for that “worker” audience. In China they have experienced a very similar case With their high -speed trains that, despite having routes of more than 1,000 kilometers away, have caused airlines to ask for help because they have fewer and fewer travelers. Good Internet connections and the possibility of reaching the center of cities have caused passengers to prioritize this option in front of the plane.

In the new macOS 26 Tahoe there is change of interface, yes. But the surprise is to be able to write an email or throw a shortcut from Spotlight

by

More than 40 years of history They contemplate the Mac. It may not be the protagonist of the Apple ecosystem, but Macos always has a relevant study in the updates that the company announces every year. This time it has not been the exception, and this year we have a new version that not only changes its name (Tahoe), but also jumps rumored in numbering. Thus, the traditional sequence after MacOS 15 Sequoia It should have brought us Macos 16, but instead Apple has decided to adopt a version number that corresponds to the “year of launch+1”, which in this case is 26. In this new version of macOS A good face washing was expectedand that’s what we have with MacOS 26 Tahoe. The changes in the interface are the absolute focus, although the most striking novelty is the one that reaches Spotlight, the launcher/search engine integrated in macOS. The interface changes, although not radically. Liquid Glass raises an interface in which for example the taskbar is transparent and that is customizable, such as the control center. The latter can be configured to our liking, adding a lot of direct icons and accesses, even that they can correspond to iPad apps. These customization improvements also reach the folders, in which we can change the color or add a small badge to differentiate them from the rest. The new version of continuity allows us that for example we can have a “twin” of our iPhone on the screen to be able to do things like enjoying calls directly on the MAC screen and also doing it using options such as the Real -time translation. However, where the most curious improvements arrive in Shortcuts and in Spotlight. In Shortcuts, a powerful Automatizon tool, now we can create more powerful shortcuts thanks to the so -called “smart actions”, which take advantage of Apple Intelligence’s functions. But It is in Spotlight where things change especially. We are facing that Apple states that it is the most important update in the history of this component. This pitcher allows you to search for files or launch applications – even those of the iPhone that we have matched with continuity – starting to write its name in the text field. But it is also that we now have a way to access very striking functions without leaving Spotlight using small keyboard shortcuts. Thus, if for example we write “SM” (Send Message) we can start the writing of an email message without opening the mail application. There are several of these personalized commands that make Spotlight into A kind of custom “terminal” In itself from which to execute commands, launch applications and even access the history of the clipboard. The last great novelty of Macos 26 Tahoe comes from the hand of video games. Apple, who has never paid too much attention to this area in the Mac, now offers a control center called Apple Games that reminds us of the Xbox application in Windows. As in that case, in Apple Games We have a form from which to access our library and from which to launch the games that we have bought or buy new. There is a new Game Overlay that allows us to chat with friends, invite them to play or adjust our configuration to play. The developers and users will also benefit metal 4, the new rendering technology specifically designed for the Apple chips GPUs and that allows games that take advantage of it improve its visual quality remarkably, promise in the company.

North Korea was going to throw his greatest war boat and ended up sinking it into the sea. Everything points to a culprit: Kim Jong-un

by

Making a fool of it is something that It is not anyone’s pleasure. Surely you have ever stumbled down the street and looked around to see if someone had seen you. Now, imagine that what stumbles is a Military ship of 5,000 tons and several million dollars and sinks at the time of its premiere. That is what happened last week when Kim Jong-un He witnessed how His brand new war ship sank before the impotence of all those present and under the watchful eye of the rest of the planet. And everything indicates that the error was because, as the Spanish proverb points, the hurry are not good. Short. Days before the event, satellite images They showed both the vessel and a scenario in which what seemed to be an observation zone. Probably, the place from which Kim Jong-un was going to witness that historic moment. And the truth is that it was historic, but not for the reasons he would have wanted. On May 23, during the launch ceremony of the new North Korean destroyer (the second of its most advanced class), all attendees in the front row and the world was witnesses of a Technical failure that ended in disaster: the ship overturned. That symbol of power, with 143 meters in length and 74 vertical missile launch cells, ended up ridiculous. How do we float it? Satellite images later Analyzed by the Center for Strategic and International Studies, or CSIS, they showed the ship partially sunken with tarps that covered the disaster. And, although at first the rush was blamed, we now have more clues about everything that could go wrong. Obviously, there is no official information from North Korea, but in The New York Timeswe can see that there are analysts who are quite clear what the problem was. Or the sum of them. Image | CSIS/BEYOND PARALLEL/MAXAR When a ship is finished, there is Several ways to ‘throw it’ into the water. We have the sliding launch in which the ship slides on a ramp into the water. The dry dock in which the ship is built in a dry dock and, once finished, the water dike is filled (That is done with cruises). Also the mechanical launch by cranes, the launch with airbags that are placed under the ship and allow it to slide to the water. And the side launch that drops the side ship into the water. Normally, a single technique is used, but in the North Korean destroyer disaster it seems that sliding and side techniques were used. And not because that’s how it was planned. Perfect storm. As noted The New York TimesIt was the first time that analysts watched North Korea use the side launch to throw a war ship. This technique is sure if it is done well, but in Large ships It is more likely that a problem appears, with dire consequences if it happens. The reading of the analysts is that, using that technique for a 5,000-ton ship points to a lack of experience added to the political pressures by Kim Jong-un to achieve rapid results. The destroyer was manufactured in the port city of Chongjin that has experience assembling ships of such magnitude, but not something as huge as this ship. This puts on the table that a possible trigger was that inexperience When throwing such large ships. In the absence of a dry dike of the appropriate size, it is estimated that the engineers tried the lateral launch to throw it into the water, but the angle was not correct and, when trying to slide it, the ship was unbalanced and ended up lying on the right side. When it goes well, as happened with this fighting ship of 3,500 tons in 2013, it is worth seeing: And it can also go wrong: The hurry are not good. Interestingly, this destroyer is from Choe Hyun classwhose first model was inaugurated successfully Last month. It was going to be the second great frigate of North Korea and the new example of that naval remodeling that Kim Jong-un is promoting. And the precedents were good: the first It was built In the city of Nampo and, because it is a larger shipyard, they could put it afloat through the technique of dry dock. There were no major problems and, at the inauguration, the ruler saw how test missiles were thrown successfully. However, there are hurry in the government dome to follow demonstrating to the world its military potentialwhich has led the president to visit the shipyards who are building new ships to accelerate delivery deadlines. In addition, there are information They point out that, although the ship could have thrown out correctly, the ocean exit street is narrow and has a questionable depth. I made a. pic.twitter.com/urflog6leo – Dr. Jeffrey Lewis (@armsControlwonk) May 22, 2025 Firm hand. And who will pay for this? At the moment, the ridiculous has resulted in several arrests of members of the responsible shipyard itself. The Central News Agency of Korea reported that the chief engineer, a senior armament official and another member of the installation had been arrested, and Kim himself described The accident as a “criminal act”, demanding An urgent restoration of the ship before June. Country engineers estimate that, pumping seawater, they can straighten the ship and repair damage. And it will take about ten days to do it, but it seems complicated because, after a week, Keep as it was. Sentinel-2 images of May 23 and 28. Despite the clouds, we can see that the destroyer continues exactly at the same point And sarcasm. From South Korea, which always have an eye and a half placed in what their neighbors doThey think something else. Yang UK is an expert in North Korean military affairs of the Asan Institute for Policy Studies in Seoul and, as Tnyt comments, the incident may not be only an accident, but something caused by a structural imbalance on the ship itself. … Read more

There is a fever to see the weddings of others in social networks. And that is causing them to throw rice shovels to the bride and groom

by

As always, fashion is not new but social networks bring it in the fore. In recent weeks, very particular wedding videos flood Tiktok and Instagram. In them, the old habit of throwing some stab of rice to the bride and groom is being replaced by throwing dozens of kilos of rice with the help of shovels. A maximization of The old customs that has a simple explanation beyond that everything is worth in order to create viral content: the spectacularization of weddings. More rice. Already in 2023 we read that In Galicia The guests had launched 200 kilos of rice to the bride and groom with blades and wheelbarrow. And last year, also in Galicia, a wedding was viralized in which The bride and groom were buried in confetti. Broak rice and confetti mixture had A recent wedding with the virtually indistinguishable boyfriends under a hell of paper and cereal. AND The most viral and next time It has been that of a couple who has also been buried under kilos of rice thrown with blades towards them. The impact on networks of the latter has been impressive: 35,000 I like and almost 5,000 comments record the importance of networks in the spread of these phenomena. Weddings: more and better. The progressive spectacularization of weddings is something that is in the same nature: since the nineteenth century, real weddings consolidated alliances and exhibited institutional power, and it is something that has not stopped seeing since then. The advent of social networks and the possibility of making everyone have our moment of glory, with thousands of people attending from the other side of the screen to the links if the hook is striking enough, has turned the weddings into events where everything is calculated to imitate those of the celebrities and nobles, who remain the mirror in which to look (at least, the mirror of a high percentage of people They decide to organize a wedding). More show, more price. In 2023 we talked How the price of a wedding had shot in recent years, already around 20,000 euros. To that amount we must add the honeymoon, and all this in a country, Spain, where the average salary is lower than that of other countries that entered this comparison. An amount where dress and accessories of the bride, photos and video, music, groom suit, organization, flowers … This does not make more weddings: after the pandemic: after the pandemic: after the pandemic There was a very remarkable rebound of the quantity, with a zipper of 20’5%, but in 2023 it descended again until it was similar to previous years. But although there is no more, they are more visible. Tatus and crazy cotillion. The thing goes furtherbecause this spectacularization in search of the most shocking or more glamorous wedding includes “syringes” with sucksneons, makeup kiosks, Thematic tattoos… what is known as a Glitter barwhere the least daring can opt, if it is not a tattoo, for a less permanent makeup. And everything often often oriented to provide good performance in social networks. Weddings keep liking. Weddings are still a notorious care center for a high number of people who come to social networks (primarily, women) to see foreign weddings. Influencers Like Ale Navas, Carla Vico or Claudia Jiménez They have recently married And the process in their networks, with millions of followers and covering from the hand request to the boyfriend’s trip, have broadcast with great detail. They are the mirror in which couples looking for dream weddings comparable to those of these are looked Influencers. The success of dating programs such as ‘Love Is Blind’ in Netflix, whose center are blind weddings, are the proof that weddings continue to generate interest. The cm of the wedding. But not just Influencers They monopolize the interest of weddings in social networks. Everyone wants to turn their wedding into something memorable or viralizable, and thus arise professions like him Wedding Social Manager (a cm focused exclusively on the wedding) or, as usual in the weddings of Influencerscontent creation (videos, photos, ReelsStories, moments when boyfriends and guests replicate memes in vogue) expressly thought for networks. Behind it there is a Spectacularization of the ceremony and the party whose ultimate goal is to look like Influencers successful … and something else. The wedding as show. Becoming a wedding into a spectacular party is also an incentive for boyfriends and guests, which perhaps consider the wedding of their friends or cousins ​​if they cannot talk about it in networks for months. Hence the content is favored Instagrameable of the wedding (the tatus, the avalanches of rice) in the face of more traditional issues (more classic photos and videosbut that cannot be shared). Our Devotion for gossip Do the rest: we love to frequent social networks to comment on the bride’s dress, something we have been doing since the heart press exists. But now we can carry it out putting people as conventional as oneself.

In their search to make the increasingly productive olive trees, these researchers have had an idea: to throw coal

by

The jungle floor is between reddish or yellowish; He is sterile and ungrateful, blinding and distemper. It is plagued with mineral oxides or empty of calcareous materials. It is and has always been a bad ground. Therefore, when in the middle of the Amazon, the settlers met the ‘Terra Petra‘They couldn’t believe it. It was a black, tremendously fertile land, incredibly resistant to the decomposition of organic matter. For decades, nobody knew where he had been able to leave. A dark enigma for a bright future. Some said that the Andes volcanoes could have come, others suggested that they should be a product of sedimentation of the tertiary lakes. But, When analyzing they realized that they were truffled with ceramic remains, fish swords, jewelry and human objects. The miracle of the ‘Terra Preta’ was the miracle of huge agricultural communities mixing land, vegetable coal, organic material of all kinds and favoring the growth of an own ecosystem within them. Charcoal? Indeed. That same face The researchers stayed. The jungle peoples often use a burning system to create fertile soils. The problem is that they lose fertility quickly. With the ‘Terra Preta’ it does not happen and the secret is in that coal. What in jargon is known as ‘biochar’. And that is really working? That is what The European Soil O-Live project has been askedif the olive trees could treat with a mixture of biochar and compost. The result is what brings us here: what Yes it works. According to researchers at the University of Jaén, coal treatment increases oil production between 7 and 24%. That is, between 0.4 and 1.7 kilos of oil per olive tree. It is true that it is a preliminary investigation, but without a very promising place. And what do we want it for? That is, without this type of “treatments” Spain is already the place of the world where more oil occurs and not for: grows 15% per year. The problem is that the machine cannot stop because demand It grows even more. Where will this race take us, that voracity? That is one of the great questions of the century.

China became famous for its eternal working days. The solution has been to throw employees at their time

by

The Reduction of the working day It seems to be a path of no return that many countries have proposed to move. Some, Like GreeceThey do not do it with a determined step. Instead, others whose self -denial It seemed immovable, they are surprising the world with day reduction measures. China is one of those countries that, unexpectedly, has proposed to cut its workday. Labor culture 996. While in a large part of the West the eight -hour workday begins to be seen as a vestige of the last century and fights for the reduction of working hours, in China the culture 996 still continues: work from nine in the morning to nine o’clock at night and six days per week. Such and as they tell In ethic, that pace of work is taking Chinese society to the extreme, pulling on the soils The birth rate in a country that for years has sinned just the opposite. Chinese authorities have been trying for years Eliminate the culture of 996 of the workplace, but Without too much success. Dji has seriously proposed. According to The published by SCMP, Since the end of February something very curious is happening in DJI, the Chinese drone manufacturer. When the clock marks nine o’clock at night, a squad of human resources managers travels through the brand’s central offices in Shenzhen. Their mission is to make sure that all employees without exception leave their jobs and go home as if it were a fire drill. Instead of evacuating the building for security, employees are “guests” to leave their cubicles to meet a new rule: no one can work beyond their day. The fault is “Neijuan”. No, Neijuan It is not the name of the company’s Human Resources Manager. The term could translate to something as “involution” and, as they explain in SCMP, It refers to the need to reduce excess competition in certain areas of the economy. The measure is imposed as a New economic policy of China in which it is intended to reduce the excess of competence that makes companies in certain sectors such as The technological either Renewable energiesinvest an unnecessary amount of resources without obtaining an improvement in their profitability or in their R&D in return. Therefore, it implies outbound templates without registering a significant advance generating inefficient competition. It is something unpublished in China. Until recently, it was common to see the offices of DJI illuminated until the early hours of the morning with employees who lengthened their days until infinity. Now, the image is very different and has impacted many who have commented on social networks. The Asian media highlighted the publication of a worker surprised by the measure that commented “it was the first time they threw me from the office.” Other technological giants are adding. Although the work culture 996 has the support of prominent names of the Chinese technology industry Like Jack Mamore and more international companies such as Haier or Measure They are adding to the call of the Chinese government of limit the days of its employees. According to sources of SCMPHaier would have ordered all the staff of his headquarters to respect the breaks of two days of the weekend, while Midea has begun to demand that the workers file their departure at 6:20 p.m., instead of 9 pm.
