Singer, Lana Del Rey, is the star of Skims’ Valentine’s Day collection.

The great singer, Lana Del Rey, is the new sensation of Kim Kardashian’s brand, Skims. In celebration of Valentine’s Day, held at the beginning of the year in the United States, the businesswoman invited the artist to star in the brand’s new campaign.

The news was also shared, first hand, by Kim Kardashian on her Instagram. Inspired by the retro glamor of the Golden Age of Hollywood, the collection has similarities to aesthetics already worked on by Lana Del Rey in her own discography.

In her images, the American singer appears in pieces that mix sensuality and delicacy, such as lace dresses, sweaters, and bodysuits. In total, 29 limited edition pieces will be made available on Skims e-commerce from the end of January, more precisely on the 23rd.

And with increasing strength in the international clothing scene, Kim Kardashian’s brand is one of the experts in increasing engagement on social media.

Lana Del Rey for Skims

Lana Del Rey ‘s relationship with the label goes back a long way. “I’ve been a huge fan of Skims since the beginning, so being featured in the Valentine’s Day campaign is a big deal,” Lana Del Rey said in a press release.

Created in 2019, Skims started on the market with a focus on lingerie and physical activity items. Over the years, the brand has had a large team starring in campaigns.

Names like Kim Cattrall, Nelly Furtado, Hari Nef, Lana Condor and Coco Jones recently posed for the American socialite and businesswoman’s company.

In this great process of stabilizing herself as a prominent mogul in the fashion industry, Kim Kardashian uses the lessons she learned in show business at Skims. The invitation to athletes, artists, and celebrities, like Lana Del Rey, indicates that she knows exactly what she is doing, exactly in the age of social media.

Lana Del Rey is a prominent American singer, well known for her nostalgic style and tragic lyrics.
She was born Elizabeth Woolridge Grant in 1985, and began writing songs at the age of 18 and singing in bars at the age of 21.
Lana Del Rey released her first album in 2010, however, she became better known to the public after the release of the song Video Games at the end of 2011 and the album Born to Die at the beginning of 2012.
Other albums like Lust for Life, Paradise, and Norman Fucking Rockwell! They were nominated for awards at the Grammys, however, she did not win. She had to deal with alcohol problems as a teenager and was taken to a boarding school, where she only became sober after three years. She even studied philosophy at college, however, she dropped out to dedicate herself to music.
Before the singer established herself in this musical universe, Elizabeth Grant (her real name) tried to gain leverage using other aliases. And sometimes, participating in a band. For 5 years, however, she set up her own team to work on her image towards success.
And it worked. Elizabeth left the scene for Lana’s triumphant entry, following a model that has already worked with other big stars, including some aesthetic procedures and adaptations in musical style. So much so, that the singer herself has no problem admitting that it is a product made to work. And in this case, a good product.

For Manuela Freitas, a specialist in music marketing, Lana shines because she is coherent, combining efficient communication and a lot of work.

The main thing today is to create a good narrative around you. It’s about storytelling. For example, there is no combination of Lana being caught at a club every weekend.

The priority strategy is to align all communication with the musical — explains Manuela, adding that one of the strengths of the singer born in New York City is to always seek to renew her audience. — She has a mainly adolescent communication, with all those feelings, with the melancholy, that we experience in this young phase of life.

Piedad Córdoba, Colombian senator, dies.

She was the protagonist of the most important events.

Colombia: The senator of the party currently in power, Piedad Córdoba, an ally of the Latin American left, died this Saturday at the age of 68 in her hometown of Medellín (northwest), said Gustavo Petro, the country’s president.

“A true liberal has died. As a congressman I met her and as a senator she died.”, he announced on the social network X.

According to the local press, the senator, who recently aspired to the presidency in 2017, died in a clinic after having a heart attack.

She, a lawyer, is remembered for her humanitarian management in 2007 in favor of the release of hostages from the former guerrilla group of the Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia (FARC) and for being an unrestricted ally of the late Hugo Chávez, Venezuelan president.

Born in 1955, she became interested in the politics of her country at a young age, when she joined the Liberal Party of Colombia. Her first elected position was that of councilor of Medellín in 1988.

In 1994, he secured a seat in the Senate for the first time. Since then, she has had a long career as a congresswoman, being elected five times, including in the current period, being part of the government bench.

In 2010, she was disqualified as senator and ineligible to hold public office, for exceeding limits in her functions as a mediator between the government and the former guerrilla, even though a higher court later restored her political rights.

Before her death, the courts were questioning her for alleged relations with the FARC.

According to the press, she was also being investigated for “alleged unauthorized contacts” with drug traffickers arrested and in the process of being extradited to ask for Petro’s support in the campaign that led him to become President.

In May 2022, Córdoba was detained for a day in Honduras for not declaring 68 thousand dollars (about 350 thousand reais) in cash when leaving the country. She maintained her innocence and the detention was revoked.

At the beginning of 2023, his brother, Álvaro Córdoba, was sent to the United States on charges of drug trafficking and links to a Colombian guerrilla faction and a Mexican cartel.

At that time, he told the press that “they are actually looking for my sister”.

She was found dead.

Colombian politics lost one of its most representative figures this Saturday. Piedad Córdoba  , an Afro-Colombian woman who, since Congress, has been the protagonist of the most important events of the last three decades, was found dead by her bodyguards. 

When she was admitted to the Los Conquistadores clinic, in Medellín, her hometown, she had already died of a heart attack. 

Its Struggles, Mediations, its roots.

Known for her fight to reach a negotiated solution to the armed conflict with the then FARC guerrillas and for having participated in negotiations with this armed group, which led to the release of several kidnapped people, she has always been a controversial figure.

The turban, which he wore almost always and which highlighted his Afro roots, as well as his direct way of speaking, were his two most distinctive characteristics. Córdoba managed to advance in a world dominated by men, in a Congress with a much lower female representation than the current one, when it barely reaches 30%. 

He also defended the search for a negotiated solution to the conflict, in decades – the 90s and 2000s – in which this idea was seen not only as distant, but also rejected by a large part of public opinion. 

However, as a mediator between the government of former president Álvaro Uribe and the FARC guerrillas, she managed to free many kidnapped people who had been in the jungle for years. For this work, in 2008 she was nominated for the Prince of Asturias Prize by Concordia, and was even nominated as a candidate for the Nobel Peace Prize.

Trips for all tastes.

In the “Oscar” of travelers,  US News & World Report  ranked the  best places to travel  in the world. From the Great Barrier Reef in Australia to Argentine Patagonia, there is a trip for all tastes. If you are looking for places to spend your holidays, you will definitely find good inspiration here.

If your budget is tighter, it’s worth leaving options closest to Brazil on your vacation list – such as Argentina, the Caribbean and even destinations in Europe (there are tickets on sale all the time on sites like  Best Destinations,  Passagens Promo  and  Unmissable Tickets ). If you can spend a little more on your budget, we highly recommend destinations like Bali, Australia and Bora Bora. It all depends on your travel style, how many days of vacation you will have, but there are options here for all types of people.

Check out the best places to travel in the world:

1. The Great Barrier Reef, Australia

Among the seven wonders of the world and a UNESCO World Heritage Site, the Great Barrier Reef is a place that needs to be seen as soon as possible. This is because the location is facing a severe risk of coral “bleaching”, due to the increase in ocean temperatures. According to the US News report, it is a trip worth taking soon, as corals as they are seen today could disappear quickly. Sad, isn’t it?

How much does it cost and how to plan a trip to Australia?

I lived in Australia for two years and I can say that it really is one of the best places in the world to visit. The good news is that you can find good deals there, especially with the new LATAM flight (SP, Rio to Melbourne). The ideal is to spend two or three weeks there.

Promotional Tickets to Australia:  To start your search, see the  ticket prices on offer at  Passagens Promo . 

What to do in Cairns, Great Barrier Reef:  Diving, of course! But make no mistake, the corals near the city of Cairns are not cool and are already going through this bleaching process, in addition to being full of tourists. It’s worth taking a boat trip or taking a small plane to go to the islands a little further away. Then, head down to experience the incredible Whitsundays and drive to Brisbane or Sydney.

Paris is a more accessible destination than Australia, especially if you find good flight deals (which is what weighs most on your budget).

Promotional Tickets:  Start by viewing the  ticket prices on offer at  Passagens Promo . Who knows, maybe you’ll get a great opportunity?

What to do in Paris:  After visiting the ‘musts’ such as the Louvre Museum and Eiffel Tower, walk to the bohemian neighborhood of St. German, discover Shakespear & Co. Don’t forget to take a trip to the Palace of Versailles.

3. Bora Bora, French Polynesia

  The small island of Bora Bora, located in French Polynesia, came in third place this year with a bang. It’s no wonder: the paradisiacal beaches are those that we only see in films, they are so singular and unique. Nowadays, lodges and large resorts have occupied the island and provide a super structure for tourists who can invest a little more in their vacation.

The future has already arrived, Smart Cities.

A smart city, the future.

No flying cars or giant advertising holograms. The future that has already arrived for large cities is more sober : recordings in images and via sensors, energy savings and data analysis have been some of the hallmarks of private and public initiatives within the scope of so-called “smart cities”.

A possible description is in the book “Paths for Smart Cities: From Traditional Management to the Smart City”. “ We call a Smart City one that has people at the center of development, adding information and communication technologies to urban management”, says the publication. “ Smart Cities  favor integrated and sustainable development by becoming more innovative, competitive, humane, attractive and resilient, improving lives.”

When  Mauricio Bouskela  wrote this description for the  Inter-American Development Bank (IDB) , he was coming from a project to transform the municipality of Parintins (AM) into a smart city. At that time, still working for Intel, the specialist describes that there were three pillars for the project: connectivity, devices, management centers and communication with citizens. Today, he is coordinator of the Smart Cities and Big Data Center at Insper’s Arq.Futuro de Cidades Laboratory.

Connectivity and the evolution of Broadband.

Connectivity is a central point of a smart city  and the evolution of broadband in recent years has enabled municipal governments to improve citizens’ access to the internet, but also to use it in public management. By connecting devices such as cameras and sensors, management centers are able to analyze data and guide better decisions, as well as better deal with emergencies, such as flooding and traffic.

A survey by Technavio points out that the  smart cities market is expected to generate US$2.1 trillion in 2024 around the world , but Brazil is not yet a major reference on the topic. The country, for example, does not have any municipality listed in the  Smart Cities Index , an index developed by universities such as the Korean Yonsei and the English Cambridge to analyze smart cities across the globe.

However, some municipalities have been making progress. Rio de Janeiro is mentioned by experts as an example of a city that is seeking solutions based on data  and partnerships with private companies.  According to the Connected Smart Cities ranking , by Urban Systems , the capital of Rio de Janeiro is the 10th smartest city in the country, behind municipalities such as Florianópolis (1st), Curitiba (2nd) and São Paulo (3rd).

In 2022, the city created a data office to bring innovations in data science implemented by the Department of Transport to other municipal departments. The person responsible for the transport project was João Carabetta, who was transferred to the role of  chief data officer  at the Rio Data Office after implementing a bus monitoring project via GPS capable of monitoring the efficiency of concession companies in serving their lines and, thus, improve the distribution of subsidies to those who follow their routes correctly.

Projects and problems.

Even though the projects do not solve all the problems at once, it is possible to unlock some new possibilities through a more organized data infrastructure —  Rio’s datalake  is on Google Cloud.

The city’s partnerships with big tech have even increased. According to Carabetta, the city has been using the Gemini artificial intelligence model  , recently launched by Google , to identify flooding through the approximately 3,500 cameras spread across the city and help the control center prevent incidents. “The tests have worked. The only AI errors were in images where not even humans could identify the flooding, such as when the cameras were swallowed by water,” she explains.

Big tech itself announced, in November,  a project developed with the Rio de Janeiro Traffic Engineering Company (CET) called “ Green Light ”, which aims to create green waves at traffic lights based on artificial intelligence . Using information such as traffic trends from Google Maps, the AI ​​model suggests schedules for traffic lights that improve traffic flow.

According to Google, preliminary data points to a potential reduction in vehicle stops by 30% , and CO2 emissions at intersections by more than 10% — carbon dioxide emissions are up to 29 times greater at intersections than on roads , points out research published by “Environmental Science: Processes & Impacts”. At the moment, only two intersections in Rio have the technology and another 70 around the world.

The smart cities agenda is, according to experts, directly connected with sustainability issues, whether in reducing pollutant emissions or optimizing the use of energy resources.

ABB, a technology multinational based in Zurich, Switzerland, has operated initiatives in Brazil focusing on smart homes and buildings, as well as mobility. “Since the Industrial Revolution, what has been the most common human movement? Leave the countryside and come to the city”, points out Gustavo Vazzoler, director of  smart building products and solutions  at ABB Eletrificação. For him, this movement makes the issue of housing and transport become central when it comes to making cities smart.

As in public management, the internet of things (IoT) — the use of interconnected devices to improve solutions — is the center of smart homes. Resources from locks to smart refrigerators are already commercialized and help to create an integrated system within homes that promotes greater practicality and lower energy use.

“Take for example the use of air conditioning. On hot days, I come home, press a control, set the temperature to the minimum possible and let it burn as much as possible”, explains Vazzoler. “So imagine: using the geolocation of your cell phone, the air conditioning unit is turned on when the resident arrives at a certain distance from your home, but with a temperature higher than the minimum, with less energy expenditure”, completes the example.

According to Vazzoler, on a basic basis, the reduction in energy consumption in a smart home or building is at least 30% . According to him, as a rule, anyone who builds a smart home is thinking more about practicality. But in a commercial building, a 30% reduction in energy expenditure has a major rational factor: financial savings.

Acclimatization with air conditioning, responsible for the largest energy expenditure in a building, is a good example of how smart commercial floors work. Consolidated data from light and temperature sensors can, for example, identify what adjustments a device called a variator must make to the temperature to keep it pleasant without having to make large variations between the minimum and maximum of the air conditioner.

There are several factors that come into play. Has the light outside increased? With data intelligence, it is possible to reduce the amount of indoor light to save money . But what if the sun is heating the environment too much to the point of increasing air conditioning costs? The calculation is made: will the expense be greater on air conditioning or lighting? If the answer is air conditioning, then the blinds are activated automatically.

“The automation system replaces all human interaction which, no matter how good it is, will not have the performance of the machine”, says Vazzoler. “A sensor can turn off all the lights in the building when there are no more employees, while someone from maintenance or a security guard would need to go around the entire building to turn them off,” he points out.

The company also develops products for charging cargo and passenger vehicles. The Connected Smart Cities ranking itself   takes into account low vehicle emissions as one of the cities’ classification factors. There is, however, a data science aspect involved. The charging points are connected to manufacturing companies, which facilitates remote maintenance and can even generate new sources of income.

“It is possible to put the chargers to work without anyone even touching them, reset the product, resolve charging problems, all through remote support. Press a button, there is an intercom so the user can talk to that person or the owner of the gas station”, explains Vazzoler. “And it also collects car data that can even be used for market purposes, indicating, for example, the brand that has the greatest autonomy and consumes the least in that particular type of pump.”

The Spanish powerhouses had been fast to say victory and reward the choice by the European Union’s high court docket on Thursday to rule in opposition to the try by UEFA and FIFA to block plans for the breakaway competitors.

However because the hours handed, there have been no indicators that they’d get anyone else to hitch their campaign regardless of the favorable ruling.

Madrid and Barcelona confronted an uphill battle attempting to convincing different golf equipment to get again on board, however they weren’t possible to surrender anytime quickly.

“With permission to inform the European golf teams that we are in the maturation of a new period that will allow us to work openly, based on the construction concept dialogue, with out threats, with out performing in opposition to something or anybody, and with the purpose of innovating and modernizing soccer as a way to proceed sustaining the followers’ passions,” Madrid president Florentino Pérez stated in an announcement.

The difficulties, including financial ones.

The Tremendous League deal could be particularly vital for Barcelona, which may doubtlessly resolve its monetary difficulties if the competitors was to be shaped. The membership stated it was time to take motion and invite “the events to interact in a brand new part of discussions.”

“As one of many golf equipment driving the Tremendous League mission, FC Barcelona feels that the sentence paves the best way for a brand new elite stage soccer competitors in Europe by opposing the monopoly over the soccer world, and needs to provoke new discussions as to the trail that European competitions ought to take sooner or later,” the Catalan membership stated.

Menopause is “having a second”. What’s next for workplaces, healthcare.

Menopausa, progresso nos cuidados de saúde e no local de trabalho.

Com a menopausa se tornando mais popular neste ano, os defensores no Canadá estão esperançosos de que essa mudança possa contribuir o progresso nos cuidados de saúde e nos locais de trabalho para ajudar melhor as mulheres no que geralmente é uma fase muito difícil de suas vidas.

Numa população cada vez mais velha, mais mulheres na faixa dos 40 e 50 anos falam descaradamente sobre sua própria experiência com a menopausa nas redes sociais e em outros lugares.

“Acredito que se tornou mais popular porque as mulheres da geração X estão conduzindo o diálogo e exigindo uma experiência diferente de suas mães e avós”, disse ela à World Information em uma entrevista.

Apesar do esforço para melhorar a consciência, as mulheres em todo o país continuam a enfrentar o estigma em torno da menopausa e há falta de apoio nos locais de trabalho, dizem os especialistas.

E isso vem com um fardo monetário.

Um relatório da Fundação Menopausa do Canadá, em outubro, descobriu que os sintomas não controlados da menopausa custam à economia canadense cerca de US$ 3,5 bilhões anualmente.

O relatório disse que os investidores sofrem um impacto financeiro de US$ 237 milhões anualmente em produtividade perdida, e as mulheres perdem US$ 3,3 bilhões em ganhos devido à redução de horas de trabalho, redução de engenharia ou abandono total do mercado de trabalho .

Canadá, mais de 10 milhões de mulheres com mais de 40 anos.

No Canadá, existem mais de 10 milhões de mulheres com mais de 40 anos, então cerca de um quarto da população atingida pela menopausa ou está na perimenopausa.

A maioria das mulheres atinge a menopausa – marcada por não ter tido um intervalo menstrual durante um ano – entre as idades de 45 e 55 anos.

A perimenopausa é o período de transição, que dura seis anos, chegando até a menopausa, quando os ciclos menstruais das mulheres podem se tornar irregulares devido à flutuação dos níveis hormonais.

Estes são os anos de “renda privilegiada” das mulheres trabalhadoras que podem ser prejudicadas pelos desafios de saúde física e psicológica associados à menopausa, disse Helena Pagano, diretora de pessoal e diretora de cultura da Sun Life.

Alguns dos sintomas comuns da menopausa incluem períodos irregulares, ondas de calor, suores noturnos, complicações, alterações de humor e dores nas articulações.

As mulheres na menopausa podem não ter energia, ter problemas para dormir, sentir depressão e problemas de controle da bexiga.

“Isso está impactando-as no trabalho em um momento em que as mulheres deveriam estar… otimizando sua carreira, otimizando seu potencial de renda, sendo as melhores, entregando o máximo no auge de sua carreira”, disse Pagano em entrevista ao World News.

A menopausa afeta a carreira das mulheres, de acordo com um relatório recente

A Solar Life, em parceria com o MFC, tem defendido um escritório mais inclusivo para funcionários na menopausa.

Como parte desse esforço, realiza um manual para trabalhos que foi lançado em outubro e que destaca um plano de cinco etapas para fornecer ajuda para a menopausa no trabalho.

Para reduzir o estigma, o manual incentiva o diálogo aberto sobre a menopausa com mesas redondas casuais e com os homens nessas conversas.

A criação de apólices de seguro específicas para a menopausa ou a incorporação da menopausa nas apólices de seguro atuais também fará parte desse plano de ação.

Sempre que necessário, os funcionários deverão ser acomodados com horários de trabalho flexíveis, trabalho remoto e ajustes de horário de turno, reivindicando as disposições.

Para deixar os funcionários mais confortáveis, deve haver melhor fluxo de ar, banheiros com recipientes de lixo grandes ou suficientes e acesso rápido à água fria. Se for necessário um uniforme, o foco principal deve ser fibras naturais respiráveis, com opções de camadas.

Os funcionários também devem garantir proteção suficiente do bem-estar psicológico para ajudar os trabalhadores na menopausa. Eles também estão motivados a iniciar seus fornecedores de cuidados digitais para aumentar a experiência associada à menopausa.

Eu disse que gostaria que os locais de trabalho no Canadá realizassem essas mudanças que fariam uma “grande diferença” para um “grupo importante de mulheres trabalhadoras” no país.

“Queremos que os locais de trabalho interrompam o estigma, fechem as lacunas de dados e recebam manual e tomem medidas para garantir que criem um consultório inclusivo na menopausa para mulheres no auge de suas vidas”, disse ela.

Pagano disse que há um desejo crescente por comida para conversas abertas e seguras sobre o assunto no escritório.

Ela está esperançosa de que mais funcionários canadenses participem e ajudem a preencher a lacuna de saúde de gênero no país.

O Canadá está melhorando o tratamento da menopausa?

No Canadá, existem várias opções de tratamentos disponíveis para os sintomas da menopausa, incluindo terapia hormonal, medicamentos de venda livre e medicamentos prescritos.

O tratamento hormonal (HT), que pode ser administrado por meio de medicamentos ou por via transdérmica por meio de um adesivo ou gel, é aprovado pela Health Canada e administrado mediante receita médica.

Os especialistas dizem que é mais fácil fazer que as opções não hormonais lidar com os sinais da menopausa.

Se não houver contra-indicações para iniciar o tratamento hormonal da menopausa, deve ser o tratamento de linha para sintomas vasomotores, como ondas de calor e suores noturnos, de acordo com um artigo publicado no Canadian Medical Association Journal em maio.

Dra. Michelle Jacobson, especialista em menopausa do Ladies’s College Hospital em Toronto, disse que é ótimo ter uma ampla gama de opções de medicamentos que chegaram ao mercado canadense recentemente.

No entanto, ela disse que o país ainda está lutando contra o acesso a boas opções não hormonais e apenas alguns especialistas em menopausa, acrescentando que ainda há temores sobre o uso de medicamentos hormonais – embora tenham sido comprovados que são seguros e eficientes.

“A terapia hormonal da menopausa pode ser iniciada com segurança em mulheres sem contra-indicações com menos de 60 anos de idade ou menos de 10 anos após a menopausa”, de acordo com recomendações da Sociedade de Obstetras e Ginecologistas do Canadá.

O risco da medicina hormonal da menopausa. Considerações.

Ao dizer que a maioria dos profissionais de saúde precisam estar atentos às dicas de práticas científicas usadas para tratar a menopausa e ficar mais confortáveis​​ao conversar com os pacientes.

Um relatório do ano passado da Menopause Foundation of Canada descobriu que 41 por cento das mulheres entrevistadas entre 40 e 60 anos de idade que procuraram aconselhamento médico, 72 por cento descoberto que isso não era útil ou era apenas consideravelmente útil. Quase 40 por cento das mulheres também sentiram que seus sintomas foram subtratados, disse o relatório.

“Infelizmente, nossos profissionais de saúde quase não recebem educação sobre a menopausa, por isso são muito indispostos para ajudar as mulheres”, disse Ko.

Ela também disse que as províncias deveriam cobrir todos os tipos de tratamento hormonal da menopausa e apoiar outras novas opções de tratamento não hormonal que estão no horizonte.

Dado o impulso do ano passado e o aumento da pressão das próprias mulheres, tanto Ko quanto Jacobson estão otimistas em ver progresso no combate à menopausa.

“Estou muito confiante de que o próximo ano trará uma melhoria significativa na maneira como enfrentamos a menopausa, na maneira como lidamos com a menopausa”, disse Jacobson.

Commercial ships can safely pass through the Red Sea again:

The organization and implementation, to allow trade to safely cross the Red Sea.

Business vessels are actually capable of safely cross by way of the Crimson Sea with the assistance of a brand new safety initiative, the world’s largest transport agency has introduced.

Maersk stated in a press launch Sunday that it has obtained affirmation that U.S.-led Operation Prosperity Guardian (OPG) has been arrange and deployed, permitting commerce to soundly cross by way of the Crimson Sea utilizing the Suez Canal as a gateway between Asia and Europe.

“That is most welcome information for your complete trade and certainly the performance of world commerce,” Maersk stated within the launch.

The multinational security initiative.

U.S. defence secretary Lloyd Austin introduced the multi-national safety initiative earlier this month, saying in a launch that OPG is important to sort out the “current escalation in reckless Houthi assaults originating from Yemen.”

The operation is supposed to guard business vessels traversing the Crimson Sea amid escalating missile and drone assaults by Iran-backed Houthi rebels in Yemen which have threatened international commerce.

A Canadian authorities official informed International Information final week that Canada might be deploying “a handful of personnel” to the area “within the coming days” as a part of the mission.

Oil large BP joins rising listing of corporations pausing Crimson Sea shipments

The Iran-backed Houthis have focused Israeli-linked vessels since Israel started its army response to Hamas’ brutal assaults on Oct. 7. However these assaults have escalated in current weeks, with ballistic missiles and drone-launched projectiles hitting or simply lacking ships with out clear ties.

The seriousness of the assaults, a number of of which have broken vessels, has led a number of transport corporations to order their ships to reroute or maintain in place and never enter the Bab el-Mandab Strait till the safety scenario may be addressed.

About 10 per cent of the world’s items move by way of the Crimson Sea, which spans the Bab el-Mandab Strait within the south to the Suez Canal within the north. It’s one of the crucial beneficial commerce routes connecting Asia to Europe and North America.

With the OPG in operation, Maersk says it’s engaged on sending out the primary vessels as quickly as operationally potential. Although it’s nonetheless assessing “the speedy results of the decision.”

“Though safety measures are in place to allow the transit of the Crimson Sea/Gulf of Aden for our vessels, the general threat within the space just isn’t eradicated at this stage. Maersk is not going to hesitate to re-evaluate the scenario and as soon as once more provoke diversion plans if we deem it needed for the security of our seafarers,” it stated.

Wi-Fi 7, the next generation should be completed now in 2024

Wireless network technology for all environments by 2024.

Certification of Wi-Fi 7 – this next generation in wireless networks for domestic, commercial and industrial locations – is scheduled for the end of the first quarter of 2024, according to a submit on the Wi-Fi Alliance web site.

“Wi-Fi Licensed 7, primarily based on IEEE 802.11be expertise, will likely be obtainable earlier than the tip of Q1 2024,” the Alliance, an business group that units Wi-Fi requirements, in addition to drives adoption and evolution of the expertise, famous in its submit.

“Wi-Fi 7 devices will be on the market today, and Wi-Fi Licensed 7 will help global interoperability and bring greater Wi-Fi performance to the next generation of connected devices.,” it added.

The group maintained that Wi-Fi 7 will deliver cutting-edge capabilities to functions that require excessive throughput, decrease latency, and better reliability, functions that faucet into applied sciences corresponding to augmented, digital, and prolonged actuality, immersive 3D coaching, and ultra-high definition video streaming.

Velocity Demon

“Wi-Fi 7 affords dramatically elevated speeds over Wi-Fi 6 and 6E,” stated Kristen Hanich, an analyst with Parks Associates, a market analysis and consulting firm specializing in client expertise merchandise, in Dallas.

“Wi-Fi 7’s key differentiating function over 6 and 6E is its help of extraordinarily excessive throughput, reaching speeds as much as 46 Gbps in comparison with a max of 10 Gbps for Wi-Fi 6E,” she advised TechNewsWorld.

“This is so far beyond what the overwhelming majority of residential subscribers want today, and it is also far beyond what most residential Web service providers offer today,” she continued.

“A quicker benefit for users is to decrease the power consumption of consumer devices such as laptops or phones, but who knows how much of a difference this makes underneath real-world situations,” she added.

Dynamic Band Switching Benefit

One of the anticipated new options of Wi-Fi 7 is multi-link operation (MLO), famous Andrew Spivey, a senior analyst with ABI Analysis, a world expertise intelligence agency.

“This would better resolve the spectrum congestion duels that consumers and enterprises are currently experiencing, greatly improving spectrum efficiency,” he told TechNewsWorld. “MLO does this by enabling the aggregating of a number of radio hyperlinks to type wider channels than would in any other case be mandatory.”

“Today, if you connect to a local Wi-Fi hotspot, you need to decide which band to connect with. — 2.4 GHz, 5 GHz or 6 GHz — and that’s it. For so long as you’re linked, that’s the band that you just’re utilizing,” Ross Rubin, the principal analyst with Reticle Analysis, a client expertise advisory agency in New York Metropolis, advised TechNewsWorld.


“What multi-link operation does,” he continued, “is dynamically join multiple bands.”

Spivey added that one other key advantage of Wi-Fi 7 is that it permits entry to the lately launched 6 GHz band, which successfully doubles the obtainable spectrum — and subsequently capability — within the U.S., which may even assist overcome spectrum congestion challenges.

Gaining Market Traction

Rubin also said that in recent times, the Wi-Fi Alliance has advanced its standardization time in relation to the pace of the first generations of Wi-Fi.

“One way 6E was adopted so slightly after 6 was due to the US.

authorities authorized the 6 GHz band — the primary function of 6E — and the alliance wished to accommodate that,” he stated.

“Against this,” he added, “Wi-Fi 7 is extra within the vein of what we’d count on to see in enhancements over a earlier technology.”

These earlier generations — Wi-Fi 6 and 6E — have been gaining traction out there since their introductions in 2019 and 2021. In keeping with the Wi-Fi Alliance, greater than half the Wi-Fi-enabled units shipped in 2022 have been 6 or 6E licensed.

“The Alliance anticipated over 350 million Wi-Fi 6E units to hit the market that 12 months,” Hanich stated. “That is a lot sooner than prior Wi-Fi generations.”

The market’s taste for Wi-Fi 6 units is not likely to diminish. “But whereas Wi-Fi 6 demand will proceed, Wi-Fi 7 will see speedy traction, because of demand for its many new options, significantly pent-up demand for the extra community capability that Wi-Fi 7 can provide,” Spivey maintained.

Competing With 6 and 6E

Hanich noted that newer criteria always rival older ones – in value, if nothing else.

“Wi-Fi 6 and 6E adoption was helped by the Wi-Fi 5 chipset scarcity, which made the chips onerous to search out and costly after they have been discovered,” she stated. “7 will not have this advantage and will have to compete directly with Wi-Fi 6 and especially with 6E.”

“Though 7 does provide dramatically increased bandwidth than Wi-Fi 6E, it’s far past the wants of most customers right now,” she continued. “There are niches the place it would do very properly, nevertheless — AR/VR functions, enterprise environments the place individuals want to maneuver giant portions of information shortly, and so forth.”

There are indicators, nevertheless, that Wi-Fi 6E could not damage Wi-Fi 7 gross sales that a lot.

In his research report that Spivey wrote in the month of November, his known expectation for Wi-Fi 7 was high throughout the year 2023. On the identical time, he continued, few Wi-Fi 6E deployments have been made within the 12 months so far, reflecting a broadly held perception that Wi-Fi 6E was merely a steppingstone normal and that its relevance would quickly lower upon the arrival of Wi-Fi 7.

Gradual Market Integration

Being certified by the Wi-Fi Alliance is just the beginning of the Wi-Fi 7 market journey.

“The time it takes for a brand new Wi-Fi normal to be included into the market varies, nevertheless it usually takes two to a few years for widespread adoption,” Mark N. Vena, president and principal analyst with SmartTech Analysis, in San Jose, Calif., advised TechNewsWorld.

He cited a number of elements affecting adoption, together with gadget availability and value, perceived advantages of the usual, and the way advertising and marketing builds consciousness of the usual.

Hanich agreed that it takes years for the market to embrace a brand new normal. “It relies on how a lot of a leap ahead the expertise represents and the way in-demand it’s,” she stated.

“Wi-Fi 6 and 6E had fast uptake in comparison with prior generations, partially as a result of pandemic — ISPs upgraded their routers, and customers went out and acquired new merchandise,” she continued.

“There are already some pre-certification Wi-Fi 7 units in the marketplace, and premium merchandise are prone to embody 7 as quickly as licensed chips can be found,” she added, “nevertheless it typically takes longer to trickle out to the remainder of the ecosystem.”
