Venezuela will seek technical cooperation from the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) in a project for the use of nuclear technology for peaceful purposes.

According to the Minister for Science and Technology, Yván Gil, the objective is to “incorporate the use of nuclear technology and knowledge for peaceful purposes in the inspection of infrastructure, the health sector and industrial processes.”

According to the announcement, engineers from the Venezuelan Technological Scientific Pole and the Presidential Commission for the Evaluation of Habitability of Infrastructure received training in Non-Destructive Testing (NDT) for the “review of structures after seismic events.

The use of ionizing radiation in NDT tests seeks to determine possible internal failures and properties of the materials without compromising their usefulness.”

During the END tests, the integrity, properties and defects of materials are analyzed without altering or damaging their functionality or physical-chemical properties, which reaffirms the “peaceful use of nuclear technology and ionizing radiation as fundamental pillars for the analysis of critical structures,” indicated Gil on his Telegram channel.

Representatives of the Technical Cooperation Division for Latin America and the Caribbean of the IAEA analyzed the need to strengthen academic and scientific training in medical applications, research and microbiological sterilization.

In addition, “international delegates and national authorities reviewed the provision of technical supplies for the country’s health network and the security protocols required for the handling of radioactive material.”

Continuing with “The Sales Hero’s Journey,” the director and founder of Neurosales Consultants (Carlos Rosales), a specialist in business and sales management, explains to readers and users another stage or phase of this journey.

“After crossing the threshold, the salesperson enters different territory. They no longer sell as before, but neither do they completely master the new approach. In B2B sales, this stage marks the beginning of the real work: fewer certainties, more tests, and a constant feeling of learning as they move forward.”

Meetings no longer follow a predictable script. Some questions generate awkward silences. Others force the client to think more than they expected. The answers aren’t always clear and often contradict what seemed to have been agreed upon. Here, the salesperson discovers that selling better doesn’t mean selling more easily, but rather having more demanding conversations.

“The tests are usually small, but cumulative. A key decision-maker who doesn’t show up. A process that drags on without explanation. A client who seems to move forward and then backs away. Each situation tests the salesperson’s conviction and their ability to maintain focus without resorting to improvisation or falling back into old habits.”

Along this path, allies emerge. Clients who appreciate the clarity, even if it’s uncomfortable. Internal contacts who share relevant information. Colleagues who confirm, from their own experience, that the new approach makes sense. They aren’t spectacular or visible supporters, but they serve as signals that the change is heading in the right direction.

“Enemies also emerge, and they aren’t always external. The rush to close, the ego that demands quick validation, and the temptation to return to the product when the conversation becomes uncomfortable. In B2B, these enemies are subtle and persistent because they present themselves as reasonable shortcuts.”

“This stage isn’t about immediate results. It’s about judgment. The salesperson begins to differentiate real opportunities from mere distractions. They learn to listen better, to intervene less, and to choose more carefully where to invest their time and energy.”

“This is where sales muscle is built. Not with spectacular closes, but with more conscious decisions and better-focused conversations. The salesperson stops measuring themselves solely by activity and begins to evaluate themselves by the quality of the dialogue they generate.”

“The tests, the allies, and the enemies don’t disappear. But from this point on, the salesperson no longer faces them based on pure intuition, but rather on experience that begins to take shape.”

The Central Bank of Chile recently indicated that the tests started in May 2022 for the launch of a new digital currency will be expanded.

In the announcement made last Thursday, the Central Bank of the South American country indicated that there will be tests in a controlled environment, which is known as a sandbox, “to better understand the challenges and implications in technological and operational terms that the eventual issuance of a digital currency.”

The measure has been included in the second report “Issuance of a Central Bank Digital Currency in Chile”, which records the dialogue and interaction with the public carried out by the regulatory entity on the potential issuance of a CBDC.

This year, the explorations will include the relevant processes to complement the analysis and study, with an applied instance, so that the Chilean economy aligns with the advances of other countries in this area.

The bank has made it clear that the evidence does not indicate that the decision to issue a digital currency in the country has already been made. Much less is it a replacement or substitution for traditional Chilean means of payment, particularly cash.

“The Central Bank of Chile continues to consider that there is still not enough information to make a definitive decision regarding its issuance,” according to the report.

With these tests, Chile seeks to follow in the footsteps of other central banks in the international environment, added to the increasingly marked digitalization of payments, as a sign of technological evolution.

The Central Bank of Chile is betting with the measure to achieve greater benefits related to or derived from the digital economy.

Netflix announced that selected users in the United States can now test its new video game streaming platform for televisions and PCs with compatible browsers, an option that until now was only available to some testers in the United Kingdom and Canada.

The company proposed the creation of a cloud game streaming platform in August 2022, something that was known through an announcement on its official LinkedIn profile, where different job vacancies related to this new product were available.

It was in August of this year when Netflix began testing this technology for Windows and Mac televisions and computers in Canada and the United Kingdom, with the beta version of the games Oxenfree and Molehew’s Mining Adventure.

Then, the company commented on its blog that this was the first step it had taken for players to test the experience, with a limited beta version for a small number of users in those countries.

This new platform option was announced a week after the launch of the Netflix App Controller application for iPhone and iPad users, which works as a video game controller and can be used to play from a television with a Netflix account logged in. .

The company has now updated its blog post to announce that it has begun rolling out this limited beta test for users in the United States. With this, he has announced that he hopes to hear the comments of these testers and share more information about this streaming platform as it progresses in its development.

Microsoft began testing the new Xbox interface, which is scheduled to launch in 2023. Players will be able to get a good idea of ​​the news they will have in a few months.

The Redmond company has pointed out that players spend a large part of their time on the Home screen of their systems, a “very personal” space on which they receive comments to improve, as stated in a statement published on the Xbox website.

For this reason, Microsoft has announced the start of a series of “experiments” to “learn how to create” a “more personalized” user interface that adheres to the most popular requests of its Xbox users. Among the novelties of this first design, the new section that shows the recently played titles and allows you to access them immediately through the Quick Resume stands out.

Other access considered relevant, such as those that lead to Settings, the Microsoft Store and My games and ‘apps’, also appear more prominent than in the previous version. Also, when the user scrolls down, they will be able to see recommended games based on their history and tastes.

Microsoft bets on visual coherence

Microsoft has stressed that, despite these developments, the design will bet on visual coherence and will include updated identifiers that at the same time result in a familiar experience for players.

The technology company has announced that the first tests have started this week with a group of members of the Alpha Skip-Ahead ring within its Xbox Insiders program, which it has randomly selected.

From then on, Microsoft will test different approaches, with the goal of releasing the final version in 2023. In addition, the company plans to offer new content based on user activity and tips to get the most out of your Game Pass subscription.

The streaming audio platform Spotify is currently working on the development of paid subscriptions for podcasts, with which users can pay directly to the creators, and for which the company will not get a commission.

This was assured by sources familiar with the matter, who say that Spotify’s new podcast subscription system will be announced next week on the service.

This novelty comes just days after Apple announced its intention to introduce paid subscriptions to its Apple Podcasts service in 170 regions in May, with prices that creators can choose and a commission between 15 and 30 %.

In contrast, the alternative that Spotify plans to introduce next week does not contemplate any commission for the platform, nor will it require creators to pay to use the service. They can also choose the subscription price they want.

The new subscription service will be available in its app for both Android and iOS, and in the case of Apple’s system, the Swedish platform plans to use an external payment system through a website, to avoid getting a commission about payments.
