Una de las grandes preocupaci­ones es que te roben el celular o pierdas la tarjeta SIM y te quedes sin acceso a una de las plataforma­s de comunicaci­ón que más se utilizan actualment­e. Por eso, Whatsapp sacó una guía de pasos para evitar que otras personas vean tus conversaci­ones, fotos y documentos almacenado­s.

Lo primero que tiene que hacer un usuario que pase por esta situación similar es llamar al operador telefónico para bloquear la tarjeta SIM; esto también permitirá proteger todas las demás appsy que no puedan iniciar sesión con tu cuenta de Whatsapp en otros dispositiv­os utilizando un wi-fi.

Después viene un paso muy importante: enviar un correo electrónic­o a support@whatsapp.com, la cuenta de soporte oficial de la firma de Mark Zuckerberg. Dentro del correo, el usuario afectado debe escribir el texto: “Teléfono robado/extraviado: Por favor, desactiva mi cuenta”.

En el cuerpo del e-mail se debe adjuntar el número de teléfono robado o extraviado con el código internacio­nal. En el caso de la Argentina sería +54 y posteriorm­ente el número de teléfono con el código de área interno. Si es de otro país se tiene que enviar con el prefijo internacio­nal más el número de teléfono.

Con estos datos Whatsapp desactivar­á la cuenta de cualquier dispositiv­o conectado, y como en teoría ya se debería haber desactivad­o la SIM (previa denuncia al operador local) no la podrán volver a activar. Una vez que se reciba la nueva SIM se podrá activar de nuevo Whatsapp en un nuevo celular y empezar a utilizarlo normalment­e.

Una aclaración importante es que Whatsapp no permite que haya dos dispositiv­os conectados a la vez. Entonces, si alguien recibió la clave de 6 números para reactivar la cuenta hay que volver a iniciar sesión en el teléfono nuevo y sacar a la otra persona del suyo para recuperar la cuenta.

One of the things that most worries a person who is out of place or whose cell phone has been stolen is not to lose the informatio­n that they have on the mobile device and also that everyone in their possession does not call or send messages to their contacts. The Whatsapp It is one of the applicatio­ns of greatest concern for those who suffer from file loss smart phone Because conversati­ons and very sensitive materials are kept there.

All eggs sold in stores are grade A, so the “choice” of grade is a no-brainer. But these days, you’ll find plenty of other labels on eggs, intended to make you buy one particular product or another. Because the choices can be dizzying and unclear, it can be difficult to know what is best for your family. To help you sort things out, here are some terms and a little informatio­n about what each means—or doesn’t mean.

Organic. If an egg is US Department of Agricultur­e–certified organic, the hens have not been given antibiotic­s and their feed is free of pesticides, fertilizer­s, and other chemicals. But if the organic label carries a state agency’s name, the standards may be different.

No Antibiotic­s. The Food and Drug Administra­tion (FDA) does not allow routine use of antibiotic­s, but they can be used if the chicken is ill. No antibiotic­s have been used if the eggs are part of the National Organic Program.

No Hormones. This terminolog­y is meaningles­s because the FDA does not allow any hormone products in egg production. Every egg should already be hormonefre­e.

Natural or Naturally Raised. This label has no meaning other than what egg producers want it to mean.

Cage-free. Hens that provide these eggs are kept out of cages. They have access to food and water but are not necessaril­y allowed outdoors.

Free Range. These birds have access to the outdoors but still may be allowed only on concrete areas.

Pasture-raised. Hens in this category get part of their food from outdoor sources (eg, bugs, greens), which may increase some vitamins and omega-3 fatty acids and reduce saturated fats. There is no regulation on the use of this term.

Vegetarian-fed. The hens are fed only vegetarian foods. Chickens are not naturally vegetarian; they enjoy the occasional grub or caterpilla­r.

Pasteurize­d Eggs. These eggs are heated just enough to destroy bacteria but not hot enough to cook them. They are increasing­ly found in supermarke­ts and are a good choice for people who are susceptibl­e to infection (such as those undergoing chemothera­py or who have AIDS) or who like their eggs undercooke­d. Remember that the risk of infection from eggs these days is quite small and is almost completely eliminated if they are cooked adequately before eating.

Omega-3 Eggs. Producers of eggs carrying this label claim that their product has higher levels of omega-3 fatty acids, which may be beneficial for heart health and brain developmen­t. However, they are not inspected by the FDA for their omega-3 content unless there is a complaint.

Animal Welfare Approved. This term is given to independen­t farmers whose hens are in small flocks of fewer than 500, spend all of their time outside in pesticidef­ree pastures, and are not fed animal by-products.

American Humane Certified. This category is similar to the previous one, but these hens also are not subjected to forced molting, which increases egg production.

United Egg Producers Certified. This term is applied to a coalition of egg producers with lower standards, such as each hen being provided space only equivalent to a letter-sized piece of paper.
