Jpelirrojo and Soyunapringada star again on the Internet of the week

by

When it seemed that his time of controversial stardom had passed, here we have it again: Jpelirrojo, One of the first youtubers In getting some notoriety with a nascent YouTube around the mid -two thousands, he is again In the eye of the hurricane. And has not disappointed. The one who was the black Beast of the Internet in Spanish returns, thanks to a few unfortunate statements and the resurrection of his BEEF with Esty Quesadato be the most hated internet (this week). Jpelirrojo Prime. He Jpelirrojo who obtained fame on the Internet for a few years ago is no longer that of now: he promoted his steps in the rap and the interpretationits main channel came to exceed one million subscribers, won the Google YouTube Nextup contest in 2011, opened channels dedicated to sport, challenges or even their personal life, since it was one of the first Influencers in visible your relationship with youtuber Roenlaredanticipating the gossip internet we have now. And, of course, he has never been alien to the controversies: he celebrated in 2016 the death of a bullfighter on Twitter (which It cost an advertising contract with Nestlé), did controversial statements and of misogynist dyes about feminism, makeup or Friendzonewas criticized for his opinions about politics and relationships, and also when he entered the market of the coaches with A course of doubtful quality about obtaining happiness. Enter Soyunapringada. The confrontation between Jpelirrojo and Esty Quesada is one of the most popular controversies in the world of Spanish youtubers and influencers. Quesada He criticized Jpelirrojo years agoaccusing him of being a “shit macho” and a “cancer for feminism”, especially because of the way he treated Roenlared. Quesada defined the relationship between the two of psychological abuse and this hatred reached its culmination in A few viodeos where youtuber He let all his bile out Against his enemy, in historical pieces of verbal poison in Spanish. But if this was years ago … Why have the flames of the conflict been revived? More controversial. Although this year Jpelirrojo has not been oblivious to controversies (in June he published a video Raising weights in the hospital room where his partner had just given birth, with the text “Without excuses”), none has been as much as Your participation in expected podcastwhere he confessed to having been unfaithful to Roenlaredwith whom he had a relationship of more than 12 years. He explained how this situation conditioned the rest of the years together, ensuring that he lived “canceled” and always “in debt” for that error. His statements have been specially criticized for presenting themselves as a victim despite having committed the initial infidelity, which generated Debates on responsibility and toxic relationships. The interview was also sown with Conflictive political opinionslike “the only nazi than the Nazi is the extreme left Woke Today in social networks. “or his revelation on the habit of recording all his conversations” by paranoia “. Esty, to the jugular. After five years without publishing on him, I am anapringing has unearthed the war ax and has taken advantage of the media intervention of Jpelirrojo for launch a new attack. Tacha to your recent statements of “circus” and ridicule your complaints. In fact, she was the main defender of the theory that excuses is victimized and uses to justify her behavior and past errors. Quesada has continued to remove the controversy and the incin that already has a jpelirrojo in social networks, to end up making it one of the most hated people of the moment. Jpelirrojo, in the center of the hurricane. It is no longer about having a controversial behavior or seeking with your statements to generate the hatred of your opponents: Jpelirrojo has ended up converting the CRINGE In full -time work. Establishing the grimo as one of the Fine Arts seems to be the purpose of someone who seems aware that he will not achieve notoriety for conventional channels, and force the opposition with videos that knows that they will be badly received, such as that of the hospital, or with necessarily confrontational statements, such as those of the podcast. Let’s not forget that Jpelirrojo comes from an internet era in which to release the most daring provocation was rewarded with visits, although there were punishments in the form of Canceled Contracts. But sensibilities have changed and that is why these types of profiles always have the complaint about the “cancellation culture“. However, the wheel continues to turn: while there is a jpelirrojo there will always be a sty cheese to stir about its sins, in a spiral of hatred and affronts that is the one that signs the most bronch and rough side of the Internet.

If this week you do not find who fixes your phone, maybe he is competing in the mobile repair World Cup

by

If something can be gamified, we are going to gamify it. It is the best way to turn a daily task into something fun. Not surprisingly, there is a World Cup to collect garbage in Japan -How no-, but it is also something that allows demonstrating the skills in a program that many use, but not so many dominate: The World Cup. Cut by the same pattern is the CGC World Cupa competition that has become the World Cup to repair mobiles. It is an event in which knowledge is shared, workshops are held and in which the main course is a fight repairing a smartphone under very strict rules. CGC World Cup. During the last months, in countries such as Mexico, Colombia, Egypt or Indonesia, the qualifying phases of this competition have been held. The best talents of each region came with the hope of taking one of the squares in the final that will be held in the Chinese city of Guangzhou Los next September 17 and 18and it will be then when they have to expose their skills in front of the public and a professional jury. 20 minutes. That is the time that participants have in the tests. The competition seeks excellence both in the precision of labor and in the most difficult in these conditions: to fulfill the clock. The evidence is nothing unknown to competitors: Screen reconditioningwhich includes the replacement of damaged glass. CPU microsoration, such as the replacement of welding spheres. Repair of other terminal components, such as Wi-Fi modules or more common elements in repair workshops. In each job there is a counter and a red button that the participant clicks when it is over. At that time, the jury comes to verify the correct performance in the evidence. There are evidence from two hours 40 minutes Nothing easy. They are situations in which we seek to simulate daily work in a workshop like we can go to to repair our smartphone, but the demand is that the greatest precision is sought at work and, above all, to fulfill a time that is really adjusted (it is not the same in your workshop than in a streaming and with people judging your work at half a meter). As if that were not enough, there are factors that influence the “game.” For example, temperature. Professional attendees to the event comment They have air conditioning, yes, but precisely a temperature that they do not control can make their times vary because they may be more accustomed to higher temperatures in the workshop where they usually work and, even if they are a few degrees, it is something that can affect processes like him receptive. In addition, each professional is accustomed to their tools (some even customize them), but in the GCG World Cup they all compete with the same weapons. The mobile repair Messi. If the mobile lights, it is functional and the work has been done with maximum precision, leaving the smartphone in optimal conditions, wins. These events have also had their controversies, but in terms of experience, it is not only a competition, but a meeting point for the more top professionals of mobile repair worldwide, with panels and courses live. It is also an interesting meeting point for brand tools and distributors brands, so a synergy is created between the different legs of the sector. The truth is that these videos of people performing microsolduras attract a lot of attention, and many of those professionals that we see on YouTube are those who compete and attend these events. Among all, it stands out Wyman Lauconsidered the best ‘repair’ of smartphones in the world and what is a show see to work. In the video below you are performing microsolures between processor pins A17 PRO of the iPhone 15 Pro. It is a repair of the most advanced. It is called ‘CPU Jumper’ and consists of bridging two specific points of the integrated circuit of the CPU by means of a conductive thread, and it is something that is done when it is detected that one of the clues of the processor has been damaged by a fall, humidity or excess heat. Wyman Lau, with its G-Lon brand, is one of the top exponents of the CGC World Cup and someone who has been seen in the events. The World Cup problem of mobile repair? That, as a public that attends live, or you look at the screen on which it is broadcast or surely do not find out about anything if you look directly at competitors, since they do work at the microscopic level.

an atmospheric river threatens to await us the end of this week

by

A last Sunday for water. This is what awaits many areas of the Peninsula, according to experts’ predictions. The reason is on the arrival of a storm and an associated atmospheric river, a couple that has crossed the Atlantic to bring us the tropical moisture of the Caribbean to the doors of Europe. The return of the rain. Meteorological models advance the arrival of an atmospheric river to the western coast of the Peninsula. The forecasts of Meteored They point out that the arrival would occur between the last hours of Saturday and the beginning of Sunday. The river will come accompanied by a storm That, although it moves in higher latitudes, it will leave its mark on our meteorology due to the arrival of an associated front. An atmospheric river. But what exactly is this of the Atmospheric River? Atmospheric rivers, or moisture rivers, are meteorological structures that are characterized by covering elongated extensions in low troposphereloading them with moisture that is dragged between humid tropical areas and subrtropical latitudes. This implies that these events are of great route, both in space and in time: this humidity can travel thousands of kilometers over several days. Atmospheric rivers not only occur between the American tropics and Europe: a phenomenon like this He is also recurringfor example, in the Eastern Pacific, and is responsible for carrying rainfall from the center of the ocean to the west coast of North America. A current in intense jet. The arrival of these transoceanic events is driven by a strengthened stream current. This fortune of atmospheric current facilitates the transit of this type of phenomena throughout the Atlantic Ocean, bringing them direct to our neighborhoods. The calm before the storm. Until then, the forecasts indicate that rainfall will remain in the east of the peninsula, and that we could even see a rebound in the temperatures associated with the proximity of The storm and his associated front. The forecasts of the State Meteorology Agency (Aemet) also talk about the passage of the Atlantic Front during the last day of the week, with “rainfall in the northwest third that, less likely, can be accompanied by storms and can affect the rest of the northwest half.” Uncertainty, for now. We will have to wait to know how the passage of this front will evolve. The predictions of the European Center for Middle Term weather forecasts (ECMWF) They point that the rains could be maintained in some areas of the Peninsula, especially in the northern third. Aemet monthly predictions indicate A somewhat more humid week than usual in some isolated areas of the country, something that could be reversed in the middle of September.

Now we are in the phase of ingesting “30 plants a week”

by

For years, the public health message seemed clear: “five a day.” Five rations of fruits and vegetables were enough to take care of the body, although it was not always easy to fulfill it. The Zoe Williams columnist He remembered in his column for The Guardian That, when he took a food newspaper for a magazine, he discovered that in a week he had only eaten a vegetable, thanks to a hidden spinach sheet under a fried egg. Eating five daily rations was already a challenge for those who hated tomatoes or fruit. So when a new rule appeared – not five portions, but 30 plants other than week – the feeling was to be in front of an impossible challenge. 30 weekly plants? The idea is not to eat thirty giant salads. The “30 plan” consists in adding throughout the week 30 different plant foods: fruits, vegetables, legumes, nuts, seeds, whole grains, herbs and spices. Even coffee, tea or olive oil tell, although just like a quarterfinal, According to BBC. A report at The Conversation They explained that the concept comes from American Gut Projecta massive 2018 study with more than 10,000 participants in the US, United Kingdom and Australia. The researchers observed that those who consumed 30 or more different plants each week had a much more diverse intestinal microbiome than those that barely reached ten. From there came the magical figure. The color palette on your plate. The variety of colors not only makes a dish more attractive: it also fulfills a function in intestinal health. A more varied microbiome is associated with less risk of chronic diseases, better immunity and even a better mood. Dietitian Catherine Rabess has summarized in Women’s Health: “The combination of 30 plants other than week and 30g fiber daily is the golden ticket to revolutionize intestinal health.” In addition, the different colors and types of plants contain polyphenols, antioxidant and anti -inflammatory plant compounds that act as “intestine bodyguards.” Are we facing one more fashion? Scientific evidence supports the benefit of plant diversity. But it is also true that following the classic recommendations – five rations per day, whole grains, less red and out -of -process meat – already improves intestinal health, According to The Conversation. In other words: you don’t have to become obsessed with the 30th figure. Even small and sustainable changes have an impact. The challenge, in addition, is not the same for everyone. Buy 30 different varieties each week can be expensive and demand planning, storage space and time to cook. As have warned in the same medium You can even accentuate inequalities: not all families have resources, space or time to organize such a diverse pantry. That is why it is suggested to resort to canned, frozen or mixtures (such as vegetables or varied berries) to lower and facilitate the task, As pointed out in BBC. Beyond the diet. Despite what promulgates this new way of feeding, the intestine not only depends on what we eat. Sleep well, move daily, practice mindfulness or simply chew more slowly They are habits that also improve digestive health. In addition to avoiding Ultraprocessreduce alcohol and add fermented (kefir, yogurt, kimchi) and natural prebiotics (garlic, artichoke, nuts) still reinforces plus positive effects. A possible challenge. Zoe Williams ironized in his column With that, if today the challenge are 30 plants, tomorrow someone will ask for 60, and we will end up looking for ortigas. However, as dietitians and doctors point out in BBC and Women’s Healthreaching 30 is not so impossible: an oatmeal with cinnamon and nuts, a salad with chickpeas, an integral paste with spinach and basil, a mid -afternoon coffee and an ounce of black chocolate … and the points are already accumulated. The challenge of the 30 weekly plants does not intend to replace the classic guides, but to take a motivating turn: instead of talking about restrictions, talking about adding. Not everyone may achieve 30, but point at 20 or 25 already makes a difference. As The conversation concludes: “The important thing is not perfection, but sustainable changes.” Image | Pexels Xataka | The Spanish cherry had been dreaming of a stage that has just come true: open the doors of China

The hours worked are falling so much in the Netherlands that, unintentionally, they are adopting the four -day week

by

When talking about countries with high productivity, all eyes tend to Go to Germany or Ireland. However, the Netherlands has become a European reference when it comes to significantly reducing the volume of working hours in its days, naturally approaching the four -day week model. This trend attracts attention both for its impact on everyday life and for the country’s economic data, banishing alarmist theories About economic ruin. According to An analysis of the Financial Timesthe Dutch enjoy a high quality of life, partly thanks to their system of Flexible and well -paid employmentwhich has evolved to prioritize personal well -being over the traditional model Based on long days. Netherlands and its reduced day. According The published by the 4 Days Week FoundationThe Netherlands have structured its labor market so that the full day is not the most widespread model and a large part of the employees prefer to work less hours voluntarily. However, far from being conceived as a precariousness model, it has become an example of balance Between work and professional life. According to data Eurostat of 2023, the middle day in the Netherlands is the lowest in Europe with only 32.2 hours worked, compared to 36.4 hours in Spain or 35.5 hours in Ireland. According to the data published by the Financial Timesaround 50% of the Dutch work part -time, and the proportion is even greater among women, which reach up to 75%. Not only does you work less in part -time days. Beyond the obvious cut involved in working under a model of part -timefull -time days are also from the short ones in Europe with 39.1 hours, only surpassed by Denmark with 38.7 hours per week. In Spain, the Real full day It stands at 40.2 hours. Being shorter, the Dutch tend to compress it in four days instead of five. Bert Colejn, an Ing Bank economist, assured the Financial Times That “the four -day work week has become very, very common. I work five days, sometimes they criticize me for working five days!” Greater productivity and better salaries. The Eurostat data They emphasize that Holland is among countries with Greater productivity per hour worked, standing at 45.3 euros per hour, compared to 29.4 euros in Spain, but far from the productivity of the Scandinavian countries that or Ireland that exceed 60 euros per hour worked. This conjunction of high productivity and reduced days has caused a situation of salary precariousness to be generated, but, on the contrary, Holland has maintained wages above the European average. According to Eurostatthe average of the gross salaries of Holland, adjusted by purchasing power (PPA), is 16.2 euros per hour, while in Spain it is 11.8 euros per hour. The European average is 14.9 euros per hour. Netherlands does not have four -day work week. In strict terms, the Netherlands have not applied any day reduction policy (such as Yes, Spain tries to do it) or four -day workday. However, almost without proposing it, the Dutch labor market has adjusted so that, at the practical level, its companies have implemented the working day of four days without wage reduction after decades of conciliation policies.

manufactures in a week what the earth takes one billion years

by

For centuries, diamonds have been synonymous with luxury, shortage and geological time: a jewel that nature carries over one billion years underground. Now China has found a way to reduce times and create the perfect diamond. Made in China. 70% of synthetic diamonds Used in worldwide jewelry they are already manufactured in China, especially in the province of Henan. In a Financial Times report They have explained That companies like Jiaruifu, led by Feng Canjun, have managed to manufacture a three carat diamond – the typical size of a engagement ring – in just a week. But it is synthetic. Yes, but its irruption has meant an unprecedented disruption in the market of precious stones. As explained by Marty Hurwitz, director of the Grown Diamond Trade Organization, to the British environmentthis is “the first really competitive product that the natural diamond has faced.” And he has done it with devastating consequences: the prices of smaller natural diamonds have fallen to minimums of the last decade. According to data from the Tenoris consultantsynthetic diamond already represents 17 % of the volume of the retail market in the US, and more than half in commitment rings, a key category. 60 years of improvement. After the break with the USSR in the 60s, Beijing was forced to develop its own production capacity. As New York Times collectedthe Soviets used diamonds not only as raw material but as a diplomatic and economic weapon. Given that pressure and without relevant natural reservations, China opted for the technological and long -distance path: produce its own laboratory diamonds. What was born as a geopolitical survival strategy has become a globally dominant industry today. The creation process. As have detailed in FTcompanies such as Jiaruifu mainly use two methods: high pressure-high temperature (HPHT) and chemical vapor deposition (CVD), the latter most recent and effective for large gems. In addition, efficiency is not just technique. The carving process is subcontracts to India, where labor costs are lower, and transport is carried out through hubs such as Dubai or Antwerp, although on the label of the final product there is no trace of its Chinese origin. There is another differential. China does not stay with crossed ones as soon as it has a fixed goal, we have already observed that its plans are never in the short term, we can observe it in Your plans with oil. As detailed The Huanghe Whirlwind company are also making improvements in the diamond creation process, but they wanted to bet on a more sustainable model. In this project they have managed to integrate solar energy into their manufacturing process. This innovation not only drastically reduces the carbon footprint by quilate, but also positions China as a pioneer in “green” synthetic diamonds. A dramatic turn. The traditional natural diamond industry is in check. In 2024, by Beers – the historical giant of the sector— It accumulated an inventory of non -selling diamonds valued at 2,000 million dollars. Its synthetic diamond division, Lightbox, He closed recently After losing competitiveness in front of Chinese brands. To this is added a cultural change: younger consumers no longer demand natural diamonds, and many prioritize price and sustainability. As He has revealed British designer Fei Liu to the Financial Times, at first he resisted using synthetic stones, but the price “flew his head.” Another conquered sector. Beyond technological and commercial success, synthetic diamond is becoming a new strategic front for China. The Government has not left the market to operate freely: in Henan, the Provincial Administration has promoted the creation of a diamond association with the aim of stabilizing prices and avoiding a destructive career down. As He explained Feng Al Financial Times, a minimum price of $ 15 per caa has been set for the stones between one and ten carats. If a company sells below that threshold, its competitors can report it to the authorities, which will intervene. This policy reminds the strategy adopted in the electric car sector, another field in which China He has led technologicallybut where excess supply and fierce competition also caused price wars. In both cases, Beijing has sought to impose order in sectors considered key to industrial sovereignty and the country’s geopolitical positioning. Compressing times. In that process, the Asian giant has challenged a centenary industry, has democratized luxury and has drawn a new map for the global diamond trade. What was previously a symbol of rarity and eternity, today can be produced in mass, sold at a low cost and with a minimum ecological footprint. The diamond is no longer what it was. And it is very possible that, for most consumers, that is not necessarily a bad.

A study reveals that the best of the four -day work week is not what it achieves: it is what eliminates

by

There are discrepant voices among those who argue that it is impossible to reduce working hours Without bringing the economy to bankruptcy of the country, while others argue that applying the work week to four days without reducing salary is demonstrating to be beneficial Not only for employees but also for companies. International investigation published in the magazine Nature Human Behaviour It reveals that the reduction from working hours to a four -day work week model produces Clear improvements in well -beingphysical and mental health, and labor satisfaction of workers, without the change having any effect About productivity. A two -year study. The study ‘The reduction of working time through a 4 -day work week improves the well -being of workers‘, conducted by researchers from the University of Boston and Dublin, was carried out between 2022 and 2024. 2,896 employees of 141 companies in Australia, Canada, New Zealand, the United Kingdom, Ireland and the United States participated. The researchers divided participants into three groups according to the amount of weekly reduction hours: one with a reduction of eight hours or more (32 hours per week), another with reductions of five to seven hours and another with reductions from one to four hours in their weekly day. In addition, they formed a control group of 285 workers from 12 companies that were initially interested in reducing the day, but Finally they did not apply it. According to the authors of the study, these countries were chosen “partly by linguistic convenience, but also because their neoliberal labor systems are known and the stress levels among employees are high.” Before starting, some tips. As indicated in the study, on average, companies reduced the weekly work hours of 39.12 to 34.48 hours, which is equivalent to 80% of the usual schedule, but maintaining 100% of the salary. 30.8% of employees managed to reduce his day In eight hours or more per week, while 24.3% maintained the same amount of hours. As already demonstrated in the pilot tests of the four -day week, it is impossible to reduce the working day Without applying some changes in the way of working in companies. Therefore, the researchers had mentoring of the non -profit organization 4 Day Week Global, which has supervised the tests of the work week of tests such as the one that It was carried out In Valencia. However, as investigations point out, their role was limited to consulting to advise companies, but did not participate directly in the study of the study or in the interpretation of the data. The results soon arrived. Such and as indicated in Popular Sciencethe biggest surprise was that there was no surprise. The studies of the study coincide largely with the results obtained from the analysis of the different four -day work week pilot programs that have been carried out around the world. The more visible results indicate that the feeling of work exhaustion (Burnout) decreased by 16% in those who participated in the four -day work week, while in the control group it increased its exhaustion by 1.4%. General fatigue was reduced by 14%, and improvement in physical and mental health resulted in better self -perception by employees. In addition, sleep problems also descended 16%, showing the direct connection among less work hours and better capacity for rest. Better results are more reduced. The group of employees that reduced their working hours in eight hours or more recorded the highest percentages of improvement, including a reduction in exhaustion, increased job satisfaction and improvements in mental and physical health. For their part, groups with a minor day reduction Between one and four hours and between five and seven hours, they also experienced similar benefits, although in these cases the improvement percentages were lower. Improve because they are committed. Although the results confirm the positive effects of the four -day work week for the health and productivity of the workers, the researchers warn about some conditions. All participating companies were predisposed to apply the reduction of working hours, which can influence the positive motivation of the results. In addition, the information comes mainly from employee self -reports, so future research should include more varied methods and broader samples to consolidate these conclusions, at least to the same extent as this study consolidated the Results obtained by other researchers that have been collecting the data in the different pilot projects around the world. However, its authors consider that “despite their limitations, this study has important implications to understand the future of work, in which probably 4 -day work week will be a key component.” In Xataka | Not everything is 38.5 hours a week: the formulas for a waiter or temporary to benefit from the reduction of day Image | Unspash (INNN agency)

Andrew Huberman is determined to make 150 minutes of cardio a week to live more. Science is not so clear

by

It’s 3:52 in the morning and Ashton Hall Start your day: Mouth Tapingcardio on the balcony, statements, ice on the face, banana on the face, all in timed time. His extreme morning routine went viral a couple of months ago with more 99 million views on Tiktok. What started as Skincare with Journaling He has mutated in a culture cult. More and more men adopt millimeter routines with the promise of order, control and success. In that scenario, Andrew Huberman, Stanford neuroscientificpodcast, Guy supplement, Not only is a reference: he is an architect of this new biohackeada masculinity model. Science and Podcast. Huberman’s fame comes for his program Huberman Lab, where he dissects studies on health, sleep, exercise and supplementation, with serious voice, marked body and surgical safety. Talk about protocols, not advice and millions follow it to the letter. What proposes Sounds simple: look at the sun in the morning, train on an empty stomach, dive into cold water, take magnesium, sleep 8 hours and repeat. But it sells it as a high performance science and packages it in a self -control language, constant improvement and masculinity without cracks. But is it reliable? Not everyone is convinced. The researcher Joseph Zundell (Harvard) has pointed out in Times How Huberman draws hasty conclusions from studies with limited evidence. Many of the articles that he quotes – special about supplements or longevity – are based on animal models or are preliminary. However, it makes them “protocols” with appearance of certainty. And we must not forget the conflicts of interest, since it recommends supplements like AG1 (from Athletic Greens), a company that actively collaborates. Although it is presented as an independent disseminator, its content is also part of the well -being business. Even in the most personal field. An article in New York Magazine He collected former partner testimonies that accuse him of manipulative behavior, toxic relationships and contradictions between his mental health discourse and his private life. One more bro? Yes, but with a doctorate. Huberman embodies the university version of the Bro-fitness: sculpted body, extreme control and scientific discourse. It is less explicit testosterone, plus paers reviewed. However, the objective is the same: optimize body and mind, and project success. Its physical presence is not secondary: it is part of the message. And their theories are perfectly aligned with the new online masculinity referents, where to take care of the skin and make cardio coexists with protein smoothies and direct sunlight as if they were dogmas. In his crusade for longevity, He has emphasized what to do 150 minutes from Cardio A week you can lengthen life. That figure appears in several episodes and interviews. But is it really backed by evidence? Science behind. This is where enthusiasm collides with complexity. The data of the “150 minutes” is not invented, but is decontextualized. In the videos he explains that training in zone 2-moderate intensity, without reaching exhaustion-for 150-200 minutes per week improves cardiovascular health, metabolism and brain function. However, a meta -analysis, published in the British Journal of Sports Medicineanalyzed 26 systematic reviews of 199 cohort studies: a total of more than 20 million observations. The general conclusion is clear: higher levels of cardiorespiratory fitness are associated with a significant reduction in the risk of death and cardiovascular diseases. There is no universal magic figure. According to Justin Lang (Cheo Research Institute)the response to exercise varies between individuals according to age, sex, genetic, health and lifestyle. A high -level athlete will need to train much more to improve its aerobic capacity. Someone who starts can benefit with just walking at a light pace three times a week. Besides, As he warns The cardiologist Jayne Morgan (Piedmont Healthcare), the benefits of cardio are not linear or infinite: more exercise does not always equals more health. The threshold depends on the physical condition and other clinical factors. In fact, studies such as The one published in Missouri Medicine They already talked about an inverted j curve: moderate exercise protects, excess can have adverse effects, especially in the heart. In summary: yes, 150 minutes of weekly cardio is a good reference for most healthy adults, but it is not a closed formula to extend life. Science supports regular physical activity as a longevity factor, but with margins, adaptations and without absolute guarantees. The hidden cost of male self -care. Huberman’s message – orders, discipline, physical performance – connects with a silent anxiety growing among many men. Obsesting with diet, body or training is no longer perceived as a problem, but as willpower. But behind certain extreme self -care routines, what sometimes there is is control, guilt or fear of failing. As the journalist Noemí López Trujillo explains in Newtralthis aesthetic pressure is not understood only in image terms, but as an extension of the norms of traditional masculinity: like it without seemingly effeminate, rendering without showing weakness, improving without speaking of beauty. Therefore, many men seek to “maximize” their physique instead of simply taking care of themselves. And that is where phenomena such as looksmaxxingthat disguise emotional discomfort with improvement language, but push it towards isolation, guilt or even radicalization. There is something in your favor. Andrew Huberman has achieved something that few scientists achieve: to become viral. Has brought complex concepts to mainstream and has aroused the interest of millions in the body, the brain and aging. But its way of translating science into protocol has costs. His statements, such as the 150 minutes of cardio to live more, are based … but also many nuances that he rarely explains. And in a world saturated with productivity anxiety, these nuances are essential. Not everything that seems science is. And not everything that improves your health needs a timed routine at 4:00 in the morning.

This 2021 report confirms that hierarchically lower positions support an average of 11.3 hours of daily work and 6.97 days per week, accumulating around 80 hours per week. Working conditions prevent having 24 -hour consecutive days and, when the cruise is on the high seas, the crew “does not enjoy any full day of rest. At most, a few hours of holidays,” says its authors. The law of the sea and precarious contracts. Most cruises navigate under convenience flags (such as Panama, Bahamas, Bermudas), with which not only many taxes dodge: they also allow to avoid strict labor regulations. Workers on board lack union representation and there is hardly any margin to negotiate rights or schedules. Social protection is limited to the essential: basic medical care and minimum rest, stipulated by the Convention on Maritime Work. The interpretation of these regulations is very lax and there is no benefit for maternity or guaranteed compensation in case of accident, nor is the right to strike of employees ensures. According to what was published by I mondewages vary according to the position, but the most common ranges for unqualified employees of cleaning, kitchen or maintenance range between $ 900 and $ 1,100 per month. Contracts usually extend between 4 and 9 months, after which employees return to their country for a period of two to three months until they summon them again for a new season. These periods are considered on vacation, but are not paid. Precarious, but save. Despite the hardness of conditions, work on a cruise It is still an aspiration For many employees from Southeast Asia and Latin America. “Working on a ship is a dream for me. So I think I will continue to do it while I can, because after 40, it is difficult to find work in the Philippines,” he said I mondeVanessa, a 45 -year -old Philippine who cleans cabins in one of those cruises. Working on a cruise maintains its appeal for those who seek to save for a specific goal, such as buying a house or setting up a business when you return home. “I can pay the education of my children,” added Glitz, lifeguard and single mother who has left her two children with her parents in the Philippines. Not having maintenance or accommodation expenses on board, they can send virtually all the full salary to their families and plan a more stable future than their country of origin allows. A job with a lot of rotation. According to the Alba Sud study, 81% of the employees surveyed received a Increase in workload After the stop of the pandemic, and 56% say that their day lengthening in recent years. Precarious salaries linked to the long days and the time they spend away from their families, make work on a cruise an activity with high labor rotation. Companies have recognized that it is difficult retain employees Throughout the season. “The challenge for companies is to hire people who are not going to stay in a port port. It often happens, so the company reassures when an employee has a family to send money,” he tells the French newspaper, Cédric Rivoire-Perrochat, co-founder of the Compagnie Française de Croisières Compagnie Naviera.

The 22 -year CEO of a Tech company that demands 80 hours a week to its workers

by

In Silicon Valley, a new generation of technological entrepreneurs He is turning his back to the traditional workday of 40 hours. A case that has generated a heated debate is that of Daksh Gupta, founder and CEO of the STARTUP GREPTILwho has implemented an extreme day model that has raised a large dust in the Reddit threads. Gupta, only 22 years old, considers that working 80 hours per week is not only not excessive, but is necessary to survive in the current technology industry. An extreme workday. Daksh Gupta published in late 2024 in Your X profile That his company did not offer any type of conciliation between working and personal life, literally affirming: “Greptile does not offer balance between working and personal life.” As he said in that same message, the days in his company begin at 9:00 and end at 23:00 or even later. “We also work on Saturdays and sometimes on Sundays. I emphasize that the environment is very stressful and that poor work is not tolerated,” the CEO added without ambiguity. The work culture defended by Gupta shows An important change Among the managers and founders of Silicon Valley, who are erasing the boundaries between working and personal life. What was traditionally understood as labor exploitation, some see it now as An extreme form of commitment professional. In the case of Greptile, this commitment can mean days of 14 hours from Monday to Sunday. Competition as justification. In one Interview with Inc.comGupta argues that this time demand responds to the reality of technological startups. The CEO declared that “this is an extremely competitive space. Nobody cares about the third best company, not even the second best, in any software category. If you are going to strive 95%, it is the equivalent of striving to 0%.” His position generated an intense debate on networks and, as confirmed in Your X profilehe received numerous criticisms and even death threats for applying this policy. Gupta, however, insists that changing his work form would mean a competitive disadvantage that cannot be allowed. “We face very intense competition,” he said to justify the sacrifices required by his employees. Silicon Valley and the culture of hyperproductivity. What for many may seem an unsustainable work excess, in Silicon Valley begins to become a norm, such and as they publish in The confidential. The so -called “new culture of effort” to which Daksh Gupta gave visibility, is referring to figures such as Elon Musk, who has publicly defended The extreme days. “No one has changed the world working 40 hours a week,” said the millionaire CEO of Tesla in one of Your messages in x. At the same time, Tesla’s own investors They asked the tycoon Dedicate at least 40 hours a week to do your job as the CEO of the electric car manufacturer. Another outstanding name of this new culture of the eternal working days is Serguéi Brin, co -founder of Google, which also asked his employees a minimum of 60 working hours per week. The era of offices with ping-pong tables And free food has given way to marathon days where, literally, workers are expected to live for the company. As I said Reid Hoffman, founder of LinkedIn, work from 9 to 5 as we know it, is in danger of extinction. AI was going to end the eternal days. Beyond the regression in labor rights imposed on Silicon Valley, the most ironic thing is that these proposals for extreme days arrive precisely those companies that are developing AI models that promise reduce workload of workers. No less ironic it turns out that companies like Microsoft or Google ensure that between 25 and 30% of its code is already generated with AI agents, and at the same time they have hardened performance demands and commitment to carry out longer days, under the Shadow of mass layoffs.
