Now, it has to face a new enemy: the general rise in prices. The CPI? An unusual…

Russia continues with its partial mobilization of the civilian population, a campaign (actually massive and not very “partial”) aimed at reinforcing the vacillating war of almost eight months in Ukraine and bolstering the credibility of the Kremlin. Thousands of Russians are being summoned in a process that is reportedly chaotic and messy. Images of recruits sleeping on the ground, armed with obsolete rifles and ordered to get their own supplies they pile up in the nets. Without training or knowledge of where they are deployed, they are denouncing “inhumane” conditions, shortages of weapons and food, and mistreatment by officers. homeless.…

Its possibilities have heated the imagination of engineers, architects and politicians for a few decades, but the Spain-Morocco underwater tunnel project is currently just that, a project. It may not always be so. It may even be that the key step has already been taken so that the idea finally comes out of the drawers and one day closes a strait with high strategic value. At least that invites us to think about the last movement of the Government. An injection of 750,000 euros. Difficult to promote a project of the magnitude of the Spain-Morocco tunnel without funds, so that…

JRR Tolkien was the architect of one of the universes more epic and extensive of all existing literature. His ability to build a world as vast as Middle Earth and other continents he invented remains an incredible feat today.

In fact, the descriptions, the sketches and notes Tolkien’s detailed descriptions are so specific that he completely configured the different creatures and what…

Companies and employees around the world have been experimenting with a new range of work models for two years as telecommuting has been installed in society.

Now, workers are finally getting alternatives to restructure their days and have more flexibility and control over their routines. Hence another term that you have surely heard lately: non-linear work. The era in which the worker organizes himself to be more productive and does not follow a set schedule has arrived. The change. Arriving at the office at 9 in the morning, stopping…

Some interior design and architecture experts have called some malls “jungles” or “labyrinths”. Various users have reported their bad experiences on Twitter when it comes to finding the outlet in department stores such as El Corte Inglés or Ikea. All this leads us to talk about gren effectthat psychological phenomenon that people experience making them susceptible to buying impulsively and that has been deliberately caused for years. Dropped jaw, slightly glazed eyes, and a sense of confusion are some signs that someone is experiencing it: as zombies, we begin to walk more slowly as this state of mind is established.…

The world population is growing disproportionately. And hunger with her. According to the UN, 690 million people (8.9% of the world’s population) are hungry. First, because of poverty and second, because of a constant threat: climate change. The number is expected to increase by 10 million people in one year and 60 million in five. At the same time, there is the problem of plastic: there is too much of it. Of the 6,300 million tons that are manufactured each year, 79% accumulates in landfills. And it doesn’t go away soon, some even take hundreds of years. A remedy to…
