The club that everyone wants to belong to is called The Social Hub and it is a hotel, coworking... and much more!

 

We knew it was a different space, a hybrid concept that unites four-star hotel rooms, short- and long-stay accommodation, and space for coworking, but we have also found out that The Social Hub has what they call membership, which includes a monthly subscription (starting at €99 ) and gives you access to the three rooftops (bar, pool and solarium), gym, video game room, restaurant, cafeteria and play room. In the two The Social Hubs in Spain (you have them in Madrid and Barcelona) and in all the rest of Europe, which you can visit knowing that you have your home there.

Okay, this membership thing is not even remotely a new concept, but after knowing – and enjoying – the version of The Social Hub hotel, the coworking and the 'epicenter of cultural events', we found out about that we can be members of a club to which so many want to belong is like uncovering the jar of the essences of a concept that is breaking it wherever it opens new complexes (currently there are already in Germany, France, Austria, Italy, Holland...).

Specifically, The Social Hub of Madrid has an advantage, mainly because it is located in the capital's new golden triangle (Gran Vía, Plaza of Spain and Royal Palace), just occupying the old building that housed the Rivadeneyra printing press and of which, currently and on the outside, 'even the walkways' are preserved. Another thing is the interior: apart from the common spaces, 330 rooms await guests, who can find short- and long-term accommodation available.

Colombian Dollar: This will move it during the week

 The dollar in Colombia ended last week with new falls and leading the exchange rate to reach $4,000.

The US currency maintains its behavior tied to what is happening with the economic activity of the United States and various local scenarios that include some outcomes of political events.

In this way, the dollar in Colombia , after even having fallen below the $4,000 barrier , is now awaiting new messages from the FED about the future of inflation.

Although in its most recent meeting the FED stated that it did not rule out a new increase in interest rates at the end of the year, there are some data that may lead to a scenario of stability in the future.

On the one hand, for example, the United States labor market left an unemployment rate higher than what the market was predicting.

Will the dollar rise in Colombia?

The above led the market to understand that, at least from the consumption side, inflation could account for a context of stability.

Argentine Cardinal Eduardo Pironio will be declared blessed

 The Argentine Cardinal Eduardo Pironio (1920-1998), noted as the “inventor” of the World Youth Days (WYD) and considered “papable” in 1978, will be declared blessed. Pope Francis, who knew him well and promoted his cause, approved this Wednesday the miracle attributed to his intercession with the promulgation of the corresponding decree of the Dicastery for the Causes of Saints.

El #PapaFrancisco aprobó hoy, miércoles 8 de noviembre, el decreto de la Congregación para las Causa de los Santos que reconoce el milagro atribuido al venerable cardenal argentino Eduardo Francisco Pironio, nacido en 1920 en la localidad de 9 de Julio; fallecido en Roma en 1998. pic.twitter.com/RLmb97pcav

It is about the miraculous healing of Juan Manuel Franco, a one and a half year old boy from Mar del Plata - the city where Pironio was bishop -, poisoned by inhaling the glitter used by his mother for restoration work. The child had involuntarily aspirated and ingested it, which had caused acute respiratory distress syndrome (SDS) and he was about to die. As Vatican News recalled, it was December 2, 2006 and that day the so-called “March of Hope” was celebrated, an initiative devised by Pironio.

For the occasion the parish priest had distributed a small card with the figure of the cardinal. The little boy's parents, from that moment on, began to ask for his intercession, reciting the prayer that appeared on the card. Two days later, the first improvements began to be noticed. Five days later, the baby was reactive, lucid, and breathing spontaneously. And on December 13 he was discharged from the hospital, in a case that later laid the foundations for the advancement of the cause of beatification of 

Pironio, a remembered figure of the Argentine Church and the Roman Curia.

Symptoms that could indicate that a man has prostate cancer

 Prostate cancer is one of the silent diseases in the early stages. This condition occurs when prostate cells begin to grow uncontrollably, which ends up developing tumors in the prostate gland, which produces part of the seminal fluid. Although sometimes this disease does not show symptoms in its initial stages, it is extremely important to know the signs that could indicate its presence.

Prostate cancer can manifest itself in several ways, with adenocarcinomas being the most common. These types of cancers originate in the glandular cells of the prostate, playing a crucial role in semen production. Despite the wide variety of types, most prostate cancers tend to develop slowly, although in some cases they can spread quickly, making detection essential.

The most common sexual fantasies, their meaning and what they say about your needs

 Sexual fantasies are an essential part of the repertoire that contemplates our sexual behavior. They are completely human thoughts, which are part of the resources we use to explore our desires. And they arise in our minds to generate sensations and even make us feel better disposed to have a relationship.

Although it may be a taboo subject - like everything related to the enjoyment of sex - erotic fantasy nourishes our imagination, and our creative capacity, sometimes necessary to be able to disconnect from reality and get in tune for enjoyment.

It is possible that this thought arises from external stimuli, such as movies for example, or from internal stimuli such as memories. However, it is worth noting that it is not about thinking about how to put our desire into practice, because then it would no longer be a fantasy .

Erotic fantasies are influenced by the historical and cultural context, so that, although they can meet individual needs and feed on the experience of For each person, its intensity and nature can change depending on the time and location .

Unveiling the Arsenal: Israel's Ingenious Tactics to Confront Hamas's Underground Tunnels

 In the complex landscape of conflict between Israel and Hamas, the battleground has extended beneath the surface, into the intricate network of tunnels meticulously constructed by the latter. As the Israeli military gears up to face the challenges posed by the expansive "Gaza Metro," a multifaceted approach is emerging, featuring robots, attack dogs, and specialized units. In this comprehensive exploration, we delve into the arsenal that Israel brings to tunnel combat.

Understanding the Threat: Hamas's Underground Labyrinth

Hamas has spent nearly a decade constructing a vast labyrinth of tunnels beneath Gaza, some reaching depths of 70 meters. These tunnels serve as storage for weapons, fuel, and food, making their destruction vital for any Israeli success. To counter this underground challenge, Israel has devised a strategic plan encompassing both technological innovations and specialized forces.

Specialized Tunnel Combat Units: Sting and Weasel Commandos

Israel has established two specialized units to navigate and neutralize the subterranean threat:

1. Oketz or "Sting" Dog Units:

• Comprising highly trained attack dogs, Oketz units bring a unique canine perspective to tunnel combat.
• These dogs, likely led by the intelligent and aggressive Belgian Malinois, specialize in sniffing out explosives, locating entrances, and attacking armed personnel.

2. Samur "Weasel" Subterranean Commandos:

• Specially selected troops trained to operate in enclosed and claustrophobic conditions.
• Known for their ability to maintain a psychological distance from challenging situations, these commandos are tasked with entering the tunnels.

You could have $20,000 in your pocket without knowing it: these quarters are a treasure

 A series of 25 cent coins manufactured between 1975 and 1976 to celebrate 200 years of US independence could skyrocket in value

How to detect them?

Most bicentennial coins were “clad,” meaning they were made from multiple metals such as nickel, copper and zinc, layered “like a sandwich,” the Mint explains. But some are made up of 40% silver, an important distinction because silver coins are rarer and therefore much more valuable.

The condition of the coin also influences its value, with those in perfect condition fetching the highest prices. The bicentennial coins were minted in three different locations: Philadelphia (809,784,016 coins), Denver (860,118,839), and San Francisco (4 million 40% silver, 11,000,000 uncirculated 40% silver, and 7,059. 099 coated).

Each coin bears the initials of the city in which it was minted. The silver 1976-S Bicentennial, which broke an auction record at nearly $20,000, was struck in San Francisco. Being made for circulation, it does not have the same shine as proof coins, so it can be difficult to recognize as a valuable object.

The Professional Coin Grading Service (PCGS, in English) placed the 1976-S Bicentennial silver at grade MS69 (the best being an MS70) on the Sheldon scale, meaning that some minor flaws were noted.

The Essential Companion: Why You Should Always Have a Medium to High-End Smartphone

 In the fast-paced, interconnected world we live in, smartphones have become indispensable tools that go beyond mere communication devices. Whether you're a professional navigating the business landscape, a student juggling academics, or an enthusiast capturing life's moments, having a medium to high-end smartphone offers a myriad of benefits that can significantly enhance your daily life. In this blog post, we'll explore the reasons why you should always have a smartphone that falls within the medium to high-end spectrum.

1. Performance and Speed:

A medium to high-end smartphone typically comes equipped with powerful processors and ample RAM. This results in faster app launches, smoother multitasking, and an overall snappier user experience. Whether you're running demanding applications or playing graphics-intensive games, the performance capabilities of these devices ensure a seamless and enjoyable usage.

2. Advanced Camera Capabilities:

One of the standout features of medium to high-end smartphones is their advanced camera systems. With multiple lenses, improved sensors, and sophisticated image processing, these devices enable you to capture stunning photos and videos. From low-light photography to ultra-wide-angle shots, the camera capabilities go beyond mere documentation, allowing you to express your creativity.

3. Display Quality:

The display is the window to your smartphone experience, and higher-end devices typically offer superior display quality.

Choosing Your Digital Sidekick: iPhone or Android Phone?

 In the ever-evolving landscape of smartphones, the debate between iPhone and Android users remains a perennial topic of discussion. Both platforms have their dedicated fan bases, each with valid reasons for their allegiance. Whether you're a tech enthusiast, a casual user, or someone in search of a new device, the decision between an iPhone and an Android phone can be a significant one. In this blog post, we'll explore the key factors to consider when choosing between these two giants of the mobile world.

1. Ecosystem and Integration:

One of the primary draws of the iPhone is its seamless integration with the Apple ecosystem. If you're already invested in other Apple products like the iPad, MacBook, or Apple Watch, the iPhone offers a harmonious experience, with features like Handoff, AirDrop, and iCloud syncing effortlessly across devices. On the other hand, Android, being an open-source platform, provides more flexibility for integration with various devices, including those from different manufacturers.

2. Customization and Flexibility:

Android has long been celebrated for its customization options. Users can personalize their home screens, install custom launchers, and tweak system settings to suit their preferences. If you value the freedom to customize your device extensively, an Android phone might be the way to go. On the contrary, iPhones offer a more standardized experience, with limited customization options, providing a more consistent and controlled user interface.

3. App Availability and Quality:

The App Store and Google Play Store host millions of applications, but there are differences in terms of app availability and exclusivity. While most major apps are available on both platforms, some developers release apps or updates first on one platform before the other. Additionally, the perception of app quality can vary between the two ecosystems, with some users favoring the user experience on iOS over Android or vice versa.

4. Hardware Diversity:

Android, being an open-source platform, is used by various manufacturers, resulting in a wide range of hardware choices. From budget-friendly options to flagship devices with cutting-edge features, Android phones cater to diverse user preferences. On the other hand, Apple's iPhone lineup is more streamlined, with a limited number of models released each year, providing a simpler decision-making process for consumers.
