  1. If you hate Mondays, you can be sure that you are not the only one. After a couple of days off, many of us have a hard time getting back to our work routines and tasks. You may even feel fear and anxiety seeping into the weekend in the form of "Sunday syndrome." But while you won't always be able to change your schedule or obligations to make Mondays more appealing, you can "reprogram" your brain to think about the week differently. Our brains love predictability and routine. Research has shown that a lack of routine is associated with decreased well-being and psychological distress. Although the weekend heralds a pleasant time, our brain works hard to accommodate this sudden change in routine. But not so hard: the brain does not need to make a lot of effort to adapt to the freedom and lack of routine of the weekend. It's a different story, however, when it comes to getting back to less enjoyable activities, like a Monday morning to-do list. 1. Keep routines One way to adapt to post-weekend change is to introduce routines that last throughout the week and have the power to make our lives more meaningful. These might include watching your favorite TV show, gardening, or going to the gym. It helps to do these things at the same time every day. Routines enhance our sense of coherence, a process that allows us to make sense of the puzzle of life's events. When we have an established routine, whether it's the routine of working five days and taking two days off or participating in a series of activities every day, our lives become more meaningful. 2. Do not change the alarm clock Another important routine that you should establish is your sleep routine. Research shows that maintaining a consistent sleep time may be just as important to enjoying Mondays as the duration or quality of sleep. Changes in sleep patterns on the weekends trigger social jet lag. For example, sleeping later than usual and sleeping longer on days off can trigger a discrepancy between the biological clock and socially imposed responsibilities. This is related to higher stress levels on Monday morning. Try to stick to a set bedtime and wake time, and avoid naps. You may also want to create a 30-minute "wind down" routine before bed, turning off or putting away your digital devices and practicing relaxation techniques. 3. Hack your hormones Hormones can also play a role in how we feel on Mondays. For example, cortisol is a very important multifunction hormone. It helps our body control our metabolism, regulate our sleep-wake cycle, and our response to stress, among other things. It's usually released about an hour before we wake up (it helps us feel awake) and then its levels drop until the next morning, unless we're under stress. Under acute stress, our bodies release not only cortisol, but also adrenaline in preparation for fight or flight. This is when our hearts beat fast, our palms get sweaty, and we can react impulsively. This is our amygdala (a small almond shaped area at the base of our brain) hijacking our brain. It creates a super fast emotional response to stress before our brains can even process and think if necessary. But as soon as we can think, activating the prefrontal cortex of the brain, the area of our reason and executive thinking, this response will be mitigated, if there is no real threat. It is a constant battle between our emotions and reason. This could wake us up in the middle of the night when we are overly stressed or anxious. It should come as no surprise then that cortisol levels, measured in saliva samples from people who work full time, tend to be highest on Mondays and Tuesdays, with the lowest levels reported on Sundays. As a stress hormone, cortisol fluctuates daily, but not constantly. During the week, as soon as we wake up, cortisol levels skyrocket and the variations are usually greater than on weekends. To combat this, we need to trick the amygdala by training the brain to only recognize real threats. In other words, we need to activate our prefrontal cortex as quickly as possible. One of the best ways to achieve this and reduce overall stress is through relaxation activities, especially on Mondays. One possibility is mindfulness, which is associated with a reduction in cortisol. Spending time in nature is another method: Getting outside first thing on Monday or even during your lunch break can make a significant difference in how you perceive the start of the week. Give yourself time before checking your phone, social media, and the news. It's good to wait for the cortisol spike to subside naturally, which occurs about an hour after waking up, before exposing yourself to external stressors. By following these simple tips, you can train your brain to believe that weekdays can be (almost) as good as the weekend. * Cristina R.

  2. A plan to build the world's first octopus farm has raised deep concerns among scientists about the well-being of these intelligent creatures. The farm's project in the Canary Islands, Spain, is to raise around a million octopuses a year to be eaten as food, according to confidential documents to which the BBC had access. These mollusks have never been intensively farmed and some scientists classify as "cruel" the method proposed to kill them with ice water. The Spanish multinational behind the plans denies that the octopuses suffer. The confidential documents of the proposal of the company Nueva Pescanova were delivered to the BBC by the organization "Eurogroup for Animals", which seeks to improve the treatment of animals in the European Union. slow and stressful death Wild-caught octopus with pots, lines, and traps are eaten all over the world, including in the Mediterranean, Asia, and Latin America. The race to discover the secret to breeding them in captivity has been going on for decades. It's difficult since the larvae only eat live food and need a carefully controlled environment, but Nueva Pescanova announced in 2019 that it had made a scientific breakthrough. The prospect of intensively farming octopuses has already drawn opposition: Washington state lawmakers have proposed banning the practice before it even begins. Nueva Pescanova's plans reveal that the octopuses, which are solitary animals accustomed to the dark, would be kept in tanks with other octopuses, sometimes under constant light. The creatures - the octopus vulgaris species - would be housed in some 1,000 community tanks in a two-story building in the port of Las Palmas de Gran Canaria. To kill them, they would place them in containers of water at -3 °C, as specified in the documents. There are currently no animal welfare rules protecting them, as octopuses have never been commercially farmed before. However, studies have shown that this culling method using "ice sludge" causes a slow and stressful death in fish. The World Organization for Animal Health says it "results in poor fish welfare" and the Aquaculture Stewardship Council (ASC), the main certification scheme for farmed seafood, proposes a ban unless the fish are stunned. beforehand. For this reason, some supermarkets in Europe have stopped selling fish that was slaughtered with ice. Professor Peter Tse, a neurologist at Dartmouth University in the US, told the BBC that "killing them with ice would be a slow death...it would be very cruel and should not be allowed." Adding that they were "as smart as cats", he suggested that a more humane way would be to kill them as many fishermen do: by hitting them over the head.
  3. Bohemian Grove, an exclusive club for rich and powerful men, is in the news after it is reported that Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas visited the retreat with a billionaire friend. A report by US investigative news outlet ProPublica revealed that Judge Thomas accepted luxury trips around the world from billionaire Republican donor Harlan Crow, when Supreme Court justices are required to declare their gifts annually. According to ProPublica, the trips included several on Crow's luxury yacht and private plane. This included a visit to the Bohemian Grove. The exclusivity and secrecy of Bohemian Grove - located in remote Sonoma County, north of San Francisco - have inspired both protests and conspiracy theories. In the club it is forbidden to talk about business. But reports say some of America's most powerful men have made deals and hooked up amid a bizarre array of performances and rituals at this 150-year-old venue. How it began? The Bohemian Grove was started in 1872 by a group of journalists, artists and musicians in San Francisco. Author Mark Twain was one of the first members. Members of the Bohemian Grove photographed in the early 20th century The two-week campout at Bohemian Grove - a rural retreat with 2,700 trees - began six years later as a send-off for an actor moving to New York. Over time, the club's artistic roots expanded to include businessmen and politicians. Members are welcome to bring guests, but the meeting is closed to the media and outsiders. Who belongs to the club? The list of 2,500 members is secret. However, some information has leaked. Former partners include US Presidents Herbert Hoover, Ronald Reagan and Richard Nixon, plus a litany of famous writers, actors and businessmen. The club's motto, taken from "A Midsummer Night's Dream," is "Weaving Spiders Don't Come Here," a warning against business talk that has often been ignored. The 1942 Manhattan Project planning meeting, held at the Grove, led to the development of the atomic bomb. https://www.bbc.com/mundo/noticias-internacional-65223352

  7. The capture of businessman Bernardo Arosio made it impossible to continue the project to bring gas from the neighboring country to the local market After the Venezuelan attorney general, Tarek Saab, announced the arrest of 10 officials and 11 businessmen after an anti-corruption investigation focused on the state oil company PDVSA, the effects were felt in Colombia by the capture of Bernardo Arosio, who is a shareholder of the company Prodata Energy C.A., news that makes a project to import gas from the neighboring country impossible. This decision was announced after an extraordinary shareholders meeting of Integral Energy Plus S.A.S. during the morning of Saturday, in which the decision was made to dissolve and liquidate the company immediately. The Board explained that Arosio does not have any participation in Integral Energy Plus S.A.S., but his status as a partner in Prodata Energy C.A., of which one of Integral's partners is a shareholder, "makes it unfeasible to continue with the project that was being carried out to the importation of gas from Venezuela to Colombia”. To date, no gas sale contract had been advanced nor had the aforementioned project been executed, since it was subject to the approval of the Sanctions Coordination Office of the United States Department of State, in accordance with the request that was submitted in November 2022,” they explained in a statement. That investigation was initiated by the president of Venezuela, Nicolás Maduro, in October of last year, and led to the resignation of the oil minister, Tareck El Aissami. The decision to import gas from Venezuela or not has been controversial, not only in environmental matters but also in terms of the impact it would have on the industry. “In my opinion, that project started dead in the short term. It is not viable to import gas from Venezuela for different reasons; first, Colombia is self-sufficient for at least the next eight years; Second, the neighboring country does not have an exportable surplus of gas, since 90% of what is produced is associated with oil, which has fallen from four million barrels of crude oil per day to 750,000," explained Amylkar Acosta, economist and former Minister of Mines and Energy. These figures were corroborated by the 2021 National Hydrocarbons Agency (ANH) reserves report, in which it was reported that Colombia has proven natural gas reserves of 3,164 giga cubic feet, for between six and eight years. This project had initially been controversial because there was talk of stopping exploration for new contracts, but a few weeks ago the Government confirmed that it will continue with exploration and exploitation of liquid fuels and gas, in the midst of the energy transition. https://www.larepublica.co/economia/por-el-escandalo-de-corrupcion-en-venezuela-se-cayo-el-proyecto-para-importar-gas-3577660

  9. In the last decade, the lodging industry experienced a revolution thanks to the appearance of digital platforms such as Airbnb. This site transformed the way travelers find accommodation... and the most adventurous created luxurious spaces. Airbnb is a platform that started in 2008, and as its website says, it was created by two designers who hosted three travelers in their home. Since then, millions of hosts and guests have come together to offer a wide variety of unique accommodations, from cabins to penthouses. According to Statista, Airbnb currently offers more than 5.6 million accommodation options with a wide range of prices, styles, and locations. This platform became professionalized and raised its prices along with its standards. This is demonstrated by a study carried out by S Monkey to identify the most expensive accommodations, designed for those looking to experience an exclusive stay. The Australian company ran an Airbnb search and hand-checked the results to ensure their accuracy. The most expensive places on his list include locations in the Bahamas, Switzerland, Indonesia, Spain, and Barbados.

  10. The renaturation of the Besòs, historical victim of spills for decades, attracts citizens and species such as flamingos The croaking of several amphibians looking for their partner marks the beginning of spring in Besòs. “It's a green frog: objective achieved, Joan”, the biologist Tomàs Carrión comments excitedly to his assistant as they wander along the riverbank. After a while they record with their mobile a group of five bees that they find in a flower as if it were gold. A week ago even biologist Pat Gallart sighted a migrating flamingo. These findings are the green shoots of the renaturation of a river that was one of the most polluted in Europe, the great sewer of Barcelona. The first phase of the rehabilitation finished a couple of weeks after a year of works, four of planning and one million euros. Barcelona and Santa Coloma de Gramanet, the main towns that surround the Besòs, went from living behind an open sewer in the eighties to embracing its river park: now two million people spend every year walking, doing sports or whatever activity throughout this green lung of 115 hectares. Even the Catalan Water Agency plans to reuse and make the water of its final section drinkable. The Santa Coloma City Council plans for this public leisure space to also become a paradise of biodiversity for education and research by the end of the decade. Three lagoons to house more than 200 species and combat climate change For Carrión, the renaturation is "a second stage" in the life of the river that has materialized between the Old Bridge of Santa Coloma and the Can Zam park. It consists of this natural space, affected by human intervention for decades, self-regulating itself through three artificial lagoons. They have been designed to combat climate change and are home to more than 200 native species, most of them birds, followed by butterflies, fish and mammals. https://elpais.com/espana/catalunya/2023-04-05/el-renacer-del-rio-mas-contaminado-de-barcelona-lo-llena-de-vida-salvaje.html
  11. Macron and Xi, who have agreed to hold annual meetings, agree on the importance of "promoting global security and stability." France and China have issued a joint declaration, after the meeting between presidents Emmanuel Macron and Xi Jinping, in which they are committed to resolving the conflict in Ukraine based on international law and the principles of the United Nations Charter. "Both countries stress the importance that all parties to the conflict scrupulously observe Humanitarian Law," says the statement, which stresses avoiding armed attacks against nuclear power plants and guaranteeing security at the Zaporizhia power plant. Likewise, France and China agree on the importance of "promoting global security and stability", with special attention to preventing a nuclear war and avoiding an arms race. They have also agreed to increase coordination and cooperation to "safeguard" the effectiveness of arms controls and treaties for the non-proliferation of weapons, as well as move towards nuclear disarmament and the "peaceful use of nuclear energy", according to of the document shared by the Élysée. Macron and Xi have agreed to "strengthen political dialogue and promote mutual political trust" with "annual meetings" between the two heads of state and strengthening the exchange of positions at the economic and financial level, as well as in humanitarian matters. https://www.eitb.eus/es/noticias/internacional/detalle/9166175/francia-y-china-apuestan-por-derecho-internacional-para-resolver-conflicto-en-ucrania/

  13. One of the Bengal tigers rescued during the operation of the State of Mexico Prosecutor's Office. There are the photos. A white lion lying quietly in the sun, an African tiger sleeping in the shade of his cage, and a white fox prowling the grounds. The search carried out by the authorities in a piece of land in the State of Mexico has revealed 47 live animals, seven stuffed exotic animals, and several clandestine taps for the huachicoleo, the illegal extraction of fuel for sale. The police have arrested eight people and the property has been secured until they determine what they are going to do with the animals. Upon entering the property, the agents found 25 exotic animals. In addition to the lion and the tiger, there were two pumas, a Bengal tiger, a deer, a gray fox, a coyote, an owl, and several eagles, "among others," adds the Prosecutor's Office in its report. Inside the house there were 7 stuffed animals. One of the photos shows a deer in an awkward position, with its hind legs in the air, as if it is in full flight from the stuffed fox behind it. The first clues suggest that, to finance this kind of private zoo, the detainees were selling stolen fuel. The property had everything necessary to carry out this activity: a container with 14,000 liters of diesel, buses, machinery, pipes, motorcycles, and an installation connected to the subsoil that could possibly lead to a clandestine intake of hydrocarbons. A possible clandestine tap for water extraction was also found, reports the Prosecutor's Office. The regulation on exotic animals in Mexico varies depending on the animal in question. The Secretary of Environment and Natural Resources (Semarnat) considers that tigers cannot be taken for a walk or be considered pets, because they are predators and are regulated by the General Law of Wildlife. Even so, Mexican laws allow you to have an exotic animal as long as they are not considered endangered, such as the scarlet macaw or howler monkey. In addition, the papers must be in order and the animal must receive dignified and respectful treatment. The authorities have not reported on the status of the animals found on the property. The images that the Prosecutor's Office has released show the lions and tigers, apparently, in good condition. Although they have not left the enclosure in which they have been confined for a long time. The laws allow having these animals but not walking them, because they are considered too dangerous for the general po[CENSORED]tion. Although getting them is becoming easier thanks to social networks. https://elpais.com/mexico/2023-04-06/dos-pumas-un-tigre-de-bengala-y-un-leon-blanco-la-policia-encuentra-47-animales-en-un-predio-del-estado-de-mexico.html
  14. In central Paris, riot police intervened to disperse protesters after objects were thrown and containers were set on fire. During the protests a fire broke out in the marquee of the cafe where President Emmanuel Macron celebrated his electoral victory. The police fired tear gas and charged the protesters. Similar minor incidents were reported in other cities. The Ministry of the Interior deployed 11,500 agents throughout France. The policing of protests has become a national debate in its own right. Complaints of the use of disproportionate force by the police have returned. France's interior ministry has blamed the radical left as it has done since the start of the protests. https://es.euronews.com/2023/04/06/francia-la-mayoria-de-las-protestas-han-transcurrido-sin-incidentes
