"What3Words", la aplicación que te ofrece una dirección - hi-tech

Rocinha ha sido durante mucho tiempo considerada como la mayor favela de Brasil. Allí viven 70 000 personas pero solo unas cuantas calles tienen nombre oficial. Algo que complica mucho, por ejemplo, el trabajo de las empresas de distribución.

“What3Words”, una nueva aplicación diseñada por una empresa británica, puede ser la solución. “What3Words” ha asignado un nombre de tres palabras a cada parcela de tres metros cuadrados del planeta.

“Con las coordenadas que presenta un GPS es muy fácil mezclar los números de dos casas, por ejemplo. Puede ocurrir que pidas una pizza y que el repartidor se equivoque de dirección e intente entregarla en otra casa. Nuestra oficina por ejemplo está en Index, Home, Raft pero si me equivoco y escribo Index, Home, Rafts, con s, el mapa me lleva a algún lugar en Australia. Así que el chico de la pizza también puede equivocarse”, explica Chris Sheldrick, de What3Words.

En el pasado, varios países africanos intentaron establecer un sistema eficaz de calles y números de casas. Países como Ghana lo intentaron. Pero algunas casas tienen hoy, por ejemplo, hasta cinco direcciones diferentes. En este caso la aplicación “What3Words” puede ser muy útil, aseguran los responsables de la empresa.

Batumi, la capital de la vida nocturna georgiana - life

Es una maravilla del Mar Negro, la capital de la vida nocturna en la región: en este nuevo episodio de Georgian Life, hemos venido a Batumi. Ciudad principal de la república autónoma de Ayaria, en el suroeste de Georgia, Batumi es donde los jóvenes vienen a buscar el agua templada del mar, clubes de moda y el espíritu unas vacaciones inacabables. Un vistazo al paseo marítimo revela una ciudad que cambia muy rápido, con nuevos y lujosos hoteles y restaurantes, esculturas modernas, fuentes y zonas de diversión por todas partes. La naturaleza en Ayaria no se parece a la del resto de Georgia. La costa delineada por los picos cubiertos de nieve es un paraíso para miles de especies de animales y plantas. El Jardín Botánico de Batumi es un lugar muy popular para descansar, respirar y disfrutar de la naturaleza como dice una de sus responsables, Marina Tatarishvili: “Tenemos plantas de todo el mundo, algunas no las puedes encontrar naturalmente en ningún lugar más del hemisferio norte. El tiempo es muy bueno durante todo el año. Estamos en el Mar Negro, así que la mitad del año hace un tiempo veraniego, e incluso en invierno florecen plantas exóticas”.

El atardecer del Mar Negro marca el comienzo de la vibrante vida nocturna con sus clubes, casinos y restaurantes. La cocina georgina depende mucho del gusto. Sus recetas elaboradas combinan las verduras frescas y frutas con nueces y especias. Platos de carne, habitualmente a la parrilla, se sirven con salsas picantes, quesos salados y vinos locales.

THE SUNDAY'S EDITORIAL OF INC NEWS

THE SUNDAY'S EDITORIAL OF MIKHAIL LERMONTOV

ITALIANO

Venerdi è stato davvero nero, per l'Europa, il Kuwait e la Tunisia, con i tre attentati dove sono morte differrenti persone. Ecco io non mi soffermo su questo di argomento  per il quale potrei essere tacciato di qualunque cosa, bensì sul caos che regna nel mondo in questi ultimi mesi, sia politicamente che tecnologicamente,  e chi più ne ha ne metta.

Mi riferisco al chaos che una persona può riscontrare nel leggere tutte quelle notizie che ci toccano nel nostro intimo, che possono interferire con la stessa nostra vita e/o libertà di azione/espressione. Se si scorrono le notizie dall'inizio dell'anno a ieri ci accorge che  molto ordine non sembra ce ne sia. Vediamo una somma delle cose:

1-Linguistica, romanzi, filmografica, fotografia: sono ormai ben pochi coloro che scrivono la loro lingua in modo verosimilmente comprensibile, in genere i romanzi sono scritti da un computer, i films sono fatti in serie da programmi specializzati e le fotografie ormai tutte ritoccate per non far vedere la realtà.

2-Ambiente: peggio di così non si può andare, tra allagamenti, piogge, vulcani in eruzione, tornadi, alluvioni, terremoti, non si contano più nè i morti e nè i danni causati, quasi fosse tutto un progetto naturale di selezione delle persone da eliminare e delle cose da distruggere.

3-La tecnologia: stiamo osservando una escalation circa la volontà di avere a tutti i costi un androide che faccia tutto per noi, ma non solo, stiamo arrivando ad eseguire trapianti impossibili e ad applicare protesi da fantascienza, i computers stanno per essere sostituiti da altri macchinari  che usano particelle anzichè circuiti, e i nuovi sistemi visivi ci mostrano una realtà che tale non è più.

4-Dulcis in fundo, pure l'uomo stesso si è messo a fare la guerra e tra attentati terroristici, incidenti aerei e automobilistici, senza dimenticare gli omicidi di ogni tipo, possiamo concludere che non si dorme certo tranquilli, neppure andando in vacanza!

Contro Madre Natura non si può andare ma aiutarla a farci vivere meglio si, e dovrebbe spettare agli uomini di comando e di scienza l'onere di guidare l'Umanità verso momenti di serenità e non di scompiglio per il magro successo di uno solo, che se poi dovesse rimanere davvero solo, a chi darebbe più gli ordini?

Mikhail Lermontov, per INC NEWS, 28/06/2015 

ENGLISH

Friday was really black, for Europe, Kuwait and Tunisia, with the three attacks where different people have died. Here I do not dwell on this topic for which I might be accused of anything, but the chaos that reigns in the world, in recent months, both politically and technologically, and so on and so forth. I refer to the chaos that a person can experience in reading all the news that affect us in our hearts and soul, which can interfere with our life and / or freedom of action / expression. If you scroll through the news since the beginning of yesterday, we find that very order does not seem to be there. Let us see a sum of things:

1-Linguistics, novels, Filmographie, photograph: they are now very few people who write their own language in a manner so presumably understandable, usually novels are written by a computer, the films are made in a series of specialized programs and photographs now all retouched so as not to see the reality.

2-Environment: worse than now you cannot go, including floods, rains, erupting volcanoes, tornadoes, flooding, earthquakes, do not count the dead and neither more nor damage, if it were all a project of natural selection of people to remove and destroy things.

3-Technology: we are seeing an escalation about the desire to have at all costs an android that does it all for us, but not only, we are coming to perform impossible transplants and to apply prosthetics as in science fiction, computers are being replaced by other machines that use particles rather than circuits, and new visual systems show us a reality that is no longer the same as before.

4-Last but not least, even the man himself, he began to make war, and from terrorist attacks, plane and car crashes, not to mention the murder of all kinds of killing, we can conclude that someone cannot sleep peacefully, even going on vacation!

Against Mother Nature we cannot go, but help her for living better yes, and should be left to men of science/politic the burden of command and to lead humanity toward a moment of peace and not of confusion for the meager success of just one, which if we were to be truly alone, who would give more orders?
