The world of cinema is in mourning. The popular actress from Pomáda has died
The world of cinema has lost another important face known to people all over the world. Susan Buckner, best known for her role in the famous film Pomade, has died at the age of 72.
In 1978, Susan Buckner shone as blonde cheerleader Patty Simcox in the film Pomade. Together with co-star Olivia Newton-John, she gave a performance that won the hearts of audiences around the world. The actress died last week, the magazine reports People.
“Susan died peacefully on May 2 surrounded by her loved ones,” said Melissa Berthier, close to the family. The family has not released the cause of 72-year-old Susan’s death. “The light she brought to every room will be forever missed,” the actress’ daughter Samantha Mansfield told the magazine.
Buckner was born in Seattle in 1952 and won the Miss Washington pageant in 1971. She became known seven years later thanks to a supporting role in the film Pomade. Viewers were also able to see her, for example, in the film Police Academy 6.
But he didn’t stay in the film industry for long. Already in the 80s he decided to focus on his family and abandoned acting. Buckner raised two children, daughter Samantha and son Adam. She was also a grandmother of four, the website says Variety.
After he finished acting, for example, he directed a children’s theater at a Florida elementary school or taught dance

May 9 strike: what will happen to flights?
ENext May 9th The General Confederation of Labor (CGT) will carry out the second general strike against the government of Javier Milei and there are many questions regarding the operation of air transport.
In this sense, some airlines have already announced that they will reschedule flights, others have canceled and others are waiting to see if a mandatory conciliation could be issued at the last minute.
General strike on May 9: Which bus lines could operate with reduced service?
Authoritarians don’t like this
The practice of professional and critical journalism is a fundamental pillar of democracy. That is why it bothers those who believe they are the owners of the truth.
It is worth considering that the majority of airlines operating in the country will be affected by the strike, to which were added the Airline Pilots Association (APLA), at Association of Aeronautical Technicians (APTA), the Senior Staff Union (UPSA) and the Aeronautical Personnel Association (APA) that nThey employ workers who perform ground tasks and provide ramp services, as well as porters and controllers.
For these reasons we comply with the call made by the Argentine Confederation of Transport Workers (CATT) for May 6, a day in which we will hold various assemblies (at times and format to be determined), and we also join the strike on May 9 of May.

Linda Evangelista in white at the Met Gala: the return of the top model after the treatment that disfigured her
They have been difficult years for Linda Evangelista: health problems (two tumors and a cosmetic treatment that disfigured her) have severely affected the former supermodel, who disappeared from the media radar for a long time. But today the icon of Nineties fashion is ready to get back into the game, and to prove it returns to tread the most glamorous red carpet in the world, that of the 2024 Met Gala: Linda Evangelista pleasantly surprised the public and guests by participating in the event which took place on the night between 6 and 7 May, after nine years of absence.
He did it wearing an outfit that doesn’t seem to have taken much account of the dress code, that is The Garden of Timewhich most guests played with variations on the floral theme. Linda Evangelista instead chose a outfit total white, characterized by a light drape in silk gazar, accompanied by a pair of long and sheer gloves: the garment was designed especially for her by Catherine Holstein, founder of Khaite, a brand that the top model frequently wears. The outfit was embellished with green tourmaline and diamond drop earrings made by designer Ana Khouri, with whom she posed on the red carpet.
The last time the Canadian model, now fifty-nine years old, attended the annual gala of the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York was 2015, and on that occasion the opening of the exhibition was celebrated China: Through the Looking Glass. The dress chosen to pay homage to the theme of the evening was a red garment, a reference to Chinese culture, with a maxi black bow by Moschino.

4 bad habits that affect your memory as you age and how to correct them
– 2024-05-08 15:22:52
This is how the Irish writer Oscar Wilde (1854-1900) defined memory.
However, as we age, some of the pages in that record of our lives can become misplaced or lost. And this is not only disconcerting but painful.
Professor Charan Ranganath, director of the Dynamic Memory Laboratory at the University of California (United States) and one of the most important neuroscientists in the study of memory, assures that the risk of this occurring can be minimized.
In conversation with BBC Mundo, the author of the book “Why we remember: the new science of memory” identified Four bad habits that most of us fall into and which, according to him, affect our brain’s ability to remember things.
And he offered a roadmap to correct them.
1. Not getting enough rest
As humans age they tend to sleep fewer hours and, as if this were not enough, work, economic and health problems can affect the quality of sleep, a combination that can be very detrimental to health.
“We now know that the brain has a system that drains the toxins that accumulate in it, including the amyloid protein, which is involved in the onset of Alzheimer’s. This system is activated during the night.“said Ranganath.
The neuroscientist, who has spent 25 years studying how the brain works, explained that sleep also has a restorative function.
“If a person does not get enough sleep, the frontal function of the brain is reduced, as is their level of tolerance to stress; and, therefore, is not able to focus properly,” she pointed out.
But, during the night, the brain not only expels harmful elements and recharges its batteries, it also organizes our memories.
“During sleep, memory is reactivated and that is what many attribute the origin of dreams to (…) Sleep makes it easier to retain information we have learned“added the specialist.
Not using phones and computers, avoiding heavy meals and drinks with alcohol and caffeine before going to bed were some of the recommendations that Ranganath made to try to have a restful sleep.
And for those people who, for one reason or another, have trouble sleeping at night, the expert said that A nap during the day can also be very beneficial.
“The benefits [de dormir] for memory can also be obtained during the day,” he indicated.
2. Multitask
In today’s competitive and busy world, the ability to multitask is seen as a positive. However, Ranganath cautioned that this may be “very bad” for memory.
The reason? “The prefrontal cortex helps us focus on what we need to do to achieve our goals, but that wonderful ability gets bogged down if we continually jump from one goal to another,” he said.
He explained that in our brain there is a competition between the sets of neurons that participate in different tasks and that competition is what makes it difficult for us to multitask correctly and efficiently.
Next, the neuroscientist assured that checking email while listening to a lecture or class will only lead to one thing: not remembering what you were listening to in the first place.
“When you change objectives (start checking email) the neurons are distracted and record fragmented memories of the conference, because you are using many executive functions to manage the change between one activity and another and that makes it difficult to form a lasting memory“, he pointed out.
However, as with every rule, there is -at least- one exception: tasks that are associated or related.
“If you’re baking a cake you have to preheat the oven and then make the dough again or something like that. But if you unite all those tasks into one big task you will be able to do it,” he illustrated.
To eradicate multitasking, Ranganath not only recommended trying to finish one activity before starting another, but also avoiding what can distract us from the objective.
So he suggested put the phone on silentparticularly email and message notifications, while an action is running.
He also recommended taking breaks to daydream or stretch your legs.
The issue of the time we spend checking the smartphone also opened another question: what effects will this have for today’s youth?
“Possibly there will be some positive and other negative consequences, but the important thing is that They are developing habits that are not good for their memories“said the expert.
A study published in 2023 revealed that American teenagers and children spend between five and eight hours a day glued to their cell phones.
3. Fall into monotony
Contrary to what you might imagine, the human brain is not programmed to remember everything. On the contrary, it is selective.
“Most of the experiences we live or the information we have been exposed to will be forgotten”Ranganath explained.
Only those events or experiences associated with fear, anger, desire, happiness, surprise or other emotions that are capable of releasing chemicals such as adrenaline, serotonin, dopamine or cortisol in our brain will end up fixed in our neurons.
These chemicals help brain plasticity, which is essential for memory.
“Plasticity in the brain helps us perform tasksespecially those that are repetitive, more efficiently,” explained the University of California professor, who indicated that this capacity decreases with age.
And, therefore, actions such as remembering the password we just changed to access our bank account, cell phone or email become more difficult as time goes by.
“Once you change the password you will have the neurons that had the old password saved fighting with
