parties and 2,000 euros for conceiving in a stay

by

The Demography has become one of the final bosses against which different countries are battle. Countries like China And above all, Japan and South Korea They have become the greatest exponents when we talk about “demographic crisis“, but There is no need to go to Asia to look at the problem. In Europe Many countries are immersed in this same crisis And, when policies seem not to work, it is private entities that take action on the matteras with a hotel chain in Poland. The demographic engine of countries like Spain It is gripped Because few babies are born and They are not enough for generational relief. They are also being born More mothers babies over 40 years than 25 forks Immigration The one that is capeando A little temporary. This situation is not exclusive to Spain and countries such as Switzerland, Netherlands, Nordic, Belgium or Italy are in our same fertility rate. Poland is also in that situation, and the owner of a chain of hotels has occurred to him to start rewarding couples who conceive a baby during the stay in one of their hotels. Come to my hotel, conceive a baby and give you a check Poland’s fertility rate is on the floor and among the lowest of the European Union block. It is estimated that it was 1.3 children per woman in 2023, being far from the 2.1 children who should have to guarantee that generational relief. Why is it so important? Japan is already living: Without young people, there is no one who works in certain positionsthere are elders who must work even after their retirement And the welfare state is not supported, Entering elements such as pensions. Because the population is dying, the pyramid is invested and, in the case of Poland, the population fell into 123,000 people in 2024. It was the greatest decline among the countries of the European Union… And it occurred for the second consecutive year. In Financial Times We can read that a vicious circle is mounted around this situation, something that even affects the experience that doctors have when helping in delivery. If there are not so many births, they do not gain experience and, when a complicated delivery occurs, they may not know what to do. The Government has tried to promote birth through aid such as the Rodzina 500+ program that grants a monthly subsidy per son of 800 Zlotys (about 188 euros per month) until it meets the age of majority. In the same medium we can read the proposal of the Władysław Grocchowski businessman, owner of the Arche chain that operates 23 hotels throughout the country. Your idea? Organize a baptism party or secular celebration For ten babies that have been conceived in one of their hotels, in addition to a 10,000 zlotys check, which are about 2,100 euros. And your company’s 2,000 employees can also access this bonus. To demonstrate it, interested parents have to present an invoice from the hotel dated, approximately nine months before the birth of their child. Grochowski also comments that, Being at the barrel bottom of the European demographic situationwe must address it as it is and urgently. His proposal is totally seriously, but also comments that it is both an incentive and a humorous marketing maneuver. Beyond those 2,000 euros or 188 per month of government subsidy, which never come bad, there are those who point out that The real background problem It is one that sounds like the inhabitants of many countries: Another crisis, that of housing. The estimate is that the country faces a deficit between 1.5 and 2 million homes, especially in large cities, where the Average price From the square meter exceeds 1,500 euros. Up to 16% of Poles They spend more than Half of your salary in housing and a third cannot afford to buy or rent something that meets their needs. It is something that seriously affects young people, that if they do not have money for housing, they also think of having children or changing work for a better one, since they have no stability in the accommodation. For this, the government has also promised to invest to Create social housingbut it is something that is designed in the future when the problem is present. It is, as we say, a problem that we know well and the fish that bite its tail, complicating good family planning and, in many cases, making the decision to have offspring.

become a sponge or a mousetrap

“Weather -related disasters” have increased since the 70s. The World Meteorological Organization says it. And not a little: they have multiplied by five throughout the last five decades. According to your calculationsin the 80s 1,400 incidents were recorded – their tables include extreme weather, climatic and water phenomena – and in the 90s, just over 2,200. In the first decade of the 21st century, 3,500 were reached and during the last one, which covers from 2010 to 2019, 3,200 were touched. That, as we have seen these days, includes floods. Each degree of more, is 7% more moisture In the atmosphere. Unfortunately, we are not prepared. How are we not prepared? The list is almost endless, but let’s leave it in the most obvious: bad decisions in urbanization, soil sealed, occupation of flood areas or obsolete and infradimensive infrastructure … you just have to take one of those factors to find tons of evidence that They show that we have created a huge problem To ourselves. The good news is that that does not have to be so. At least, that is what they believe in Denmark. Copenhagen is deploying a “city-sponge” strategy from which (if they are right) we would have much to learn. How to change your city in three comfortable steps? The first is to believe that there is a problem. Copenhagen believes it: according to its own documents, the city Wait for an increase of up to 30% more rain before the end of the century. He also knows that he has too many sealed surfaces, which infiltration is not allowed and increases the risk of runoff. That means many things; But, above all, money. When in 2011, Copenhagen suffered an extraordinary episode of rainfall, the damage it caused They are valued at more than one billion. The second step is to have a plan. The Danish capital plan It is simple: combines nature -based solutions with others of engineering. The intention is to “absorb, infiltrate, store, filter and reuse rainwater” before it causes floods. It sounds good, but how it would be done: Permeabilizing surfaces: drainage pavements, cobblestones with holes, etc. Creating green areas Promoting vegetable covers (green roofs, for example) Adapting the gaps and ponds to turn them into temporary retention areas. Convert channels and ditches as drainage runners. Integrate the “gray” infrastructure (pipelines, sewerage, etc …) to take advantage of it The third step is to start it. Because the concept is not new (China He has turned it in a national policy), but it has been very difficult to start it. In fact, Copenhagen only got to work after the 2011 disaster. But the key is the long term: there is no way to change the face of a city in three news. He Cloudburst Management Plan Danish contained 300 projects within 20 years. Things ranging from the redesign of streets or parks to the creation of a large rainfall. Is this the way? If that is the question, the only full answer is that we do not know. But it is an encouraging to see that there are people working on looking for alternatives to chaos that We see year, year too In our country. It does not often happen that the most viable alternative is also so extremely expensive. But this is the situation we have and it would be fantastic to be able to learn from all previous experiences.

The plan is to convert the ocean into its energy muscle

Invisible, but there are. Much of the seabed is occupied by very long roads that connect virtually all countries. ANDl map of submarine cables It does not stop expanding and, if something has shown us the war in Ukraine, is that it is a key infrastructure. They are vital for communication systems. Beside him, there are other types of pipes: Those that transport fuel and those that allow connecting all the Offshore energy infrastructure. And China has just achieved a milestone in its network: they have installed More than 10,000 kilometers of underwater pipes with the aim of continuing to develop its energy independence. China and the offshore. China has a vast terrestrial territory, but although it is exploiting it with Huge solar ‘farms’ and the largest hydroelectric plant in the world (more another one on the way), they are also developing offshore energy. It is the one that allows access to resources at sea, such as Marine wind (For what they are developing science fiction wind turbines), natural gas, solar or oil. The country is promoting megaprojects such as Chaozhou wind park either floating solar plants while drilling Looking for oil independence (Something complicated Due to the volume they need). It is a strategy that responds to two objectives: the aforementioned energy independence and decarbonization betting on renewables. And, to grow in installed capacity in the sea, they need pipes that connect with land plants. Accelerated development. That is where the more than 10,000 kilometers of pipes that China has already installed, one “megaconstruction”, In its own way, which has experienced an accelerated development in recent years. Only between 2021 and 2025, the country installed more than 1,500 kilometers of new pipes, some at depths of more than 1,500 meters, entering the ultra -proprafundas waters. These pipes have different diameters. Thus, there are some of less than three centimeters in diameter, but others much larger that exceed 120 centimeters. Imagine a pipe with the diameter of a 50 -inch TV. Independence. This huge investment translates into projects such as Hohai Bay. It is the one that concentrates the densest pipe network in the country, with more than 3,200 kilometers and focused on both crude and gas transport. Another project is Deep Let No.1the first “field” of Ultraprofundo Gas developed entirely by China that opera 1,500 kilometers deep. Resistant. To install these pipes, the country developed the Hai Yang Shi You 201. This is its first boat designed to tend pipes at even greater than DEEP is No.1. We are talking about that you can perform facilities at depths of 3,000 meters and, for this, the pipes themselves must be resistant. They are designed to resist both high temperatures and a very high pressure, but also They tell with anticorrosion treatment and internal capacity to transport gas and oil currents that reach 120 degree temperatures. Its thickness is considerable: about four centimeters. Projection. In the end, this pipe network is both a technical achievement and the foundations on which the China’s independence desire at energy level. The idea is to exceed 13,000 kilometers of pipes by 2030, further strengthening the country’s energy transport network, while continuing to develop its offshore capacity. And, although we talk about gas and oil, we cannot forget that the country also has an interest in transporting ‘green’ fuels such as hydrogen or shale gas, fuel they recently discovered Gigantic deposits that will help in that objective of reduction of import dependence.

Play board games

by

Ask any devotee of the games in their many forms (table, of role …) If the circumstances in which it is played are important, and will surely tell you Que not. The company matters, comfort imports, but once that is resolved, the worlds to which the players move with their imagination are the ones that matter and in which hours and hours will spend. But … what if the environment where you are also given as much importance as to mount Cruises around the games? What is a playful cruise. A Thematic holiday experience that combines a traditional cruise trip with an intense programming of activities dedicated to board games, role, wargames and geek culture in general. Unlike a simple event aboard a conventional cruise, the ship becomes a large floating convention where travelers play, compete and even attend talks and workshops, and participate in parties and thematic activities. How it started. Cruises of this type have their origin in the United States, with pioneer events such as the Tower Cruise says and the Congress of Gamerswhich since the mid -2010 popularized this new way to enjoy the games. From there, the phenomenon began to expand regionally with local versions. In Latin America, Brazil had its KRIATIVES ON BOARDwhich in its third edition in April 2025 congregated more than 400 participants, with the presence of international designers. How could it be otherwise, this Brazilian variant brought to the extreme the mixture of recreational days with more conventional costume parties and celebrations. At European level, the proposals have also been multiplied: Boardgame Cruise Island Tourfor example, he was born in the United Kingdom, but has already been organized as a franchise in countries such as Iceland, Germany or the Netherlands. Find your cruise. No amateur typology runs out of their corresponding cruise, because these proposals are diversified in a very funny way, although the most common are the “generalists”: gigantic floating playbins with hundreds of titles of all kinds. This is the case of those mentioned, says Tower Cruise or Boardgame Cruise, but also of Bgg@be either Meeples at itmeeting place for families and groups of fans who also seek a more traditional cruise experience. But from there the thing diversifies: there are cruises specialized in Wargames and miniatures, oriented to a more specific audience, such as ‘Warhammer40k’ fans and other miniature games. Also, of course, there are For role playerswhere live games are organized, continuous narrative campaigns and role -playing talks. The variations are infinite: Comic with The Cruise, Gacuon (with a cosplay accent) and Saltcon Cruise (for board games) are other possibilities. The analog returns. The reason for the proliferation of these cruise ships is clear, and connects with the proliferation of conventions as the recent Comic-with Malaga: fans increasingly value the social component of their hobbies, and therefore Hobbies like cosplay They become forms of collective expression. Cruises are only another way of socializing, and organizers They are very attentive to the tastes that are shaping pop culture. Where there are fans, there are money, and cruise companies are perfectly aware.

Spain always longed for the US to look at it like Italy and France. Now that desire is becoming dangerously

by

In the middle of the year the rumor of A boycott from Europe to the United States in one of its most profitable sectors: tourism. Among the cultivation broth there was talk of a political situation that had generated rejection, noticing even in reservation falls for summer (up to 25%). Interestingly, this does not happen, or remotely, in reverse. In fact, Americans like Spain so much that an avalanche of citizens is expected in the coming years. We talk about millions. The personal discovery. The truth is that the relationship between American travelers and Spain It is not understood only from statistics, but also of individual stories that have captured attention on social networks. In 2023, the Smith family, originally from Kansas, It was installed in Logroño After deciding to change life in full pandemic. Their Videos on Tiktok and Instagram, just like those of Morgana creator of Michigan transferred to Madrid, made visible the contrast between the American and Spanish lifestyle: the sociability of the dinners at ten o’clock at night, the peace of mind of having a public health system, the culture of sitting down to breakfast instead of eating fast or the naturalness that children’s parks are next to a bar. For millions of followers, their vision served as a country mirror that offered security, quality of life and a different sense of community, aroused renewed interest in experiencing Spain from within. The quantitative jump. That personal interest was later reflected in the numbers. In 2024, Spain received almost 94 million tourists International and broke all records, with a 12% increase in arrivals and 18.6% in spending only in the first seven months of the year. He CaixaBank report Research stressed a especially striking fact: the expense of the visitors of North America in August was 90% higher to 2019, which made the United States one of the most dynamic and lucrative markets. Reasons? The dollar strength And American economic growth explained part of the trend, which was consolidated in destinations such as Catalonia, Balearic Islands and Canary Islands. Meanwhile, airlines and United Airlines took advantage of the juncture for multiply direct routes To Spain, opening connections with Mallorca, Málaga, Tenerife and Bilbao. The future projection. The euphoria was confirmed this September with the Publication of the report Portrait of American & Canadian International Travelers, commissioned by Turespaña. According to the study, 70%of Americans plan to visit Spain in the next three years, an even greater proportion among millennials (81%) and high -purchasing power travelers (76%). The figures draw a sustained growth panorama, with spending projections of more than $ 13,000 per traveler and a remarkable interest in authentic cultural experiences, gastronomy and nature. Madrid and Barcelona lead the desired list of destinations, followed by Valencia and Seville, while in the island Tenerife and Gran Canaria stand out, with an interest that exceeds 70%. Because. The big question. The reports indicate Key factors to explain this enthusiasm: security (91%), climate (87%) and cultural activities (87%) are decisive in choice. It also underlines greater sensitivity towards sustainability, With 84% Of the Americans willing to pay more for services responsible for the environment, a provision led by the younger generations. In addition, the Planning habits: The growing weight of online and social networks reviews Like Instagram or YouTubethe preference for multi -city itineraries (84%) and the expansion of the airbnb tourist accommodation market, which competes with traditional hotels and resorts. Spain in front of the competition. On the global board, Spain appears as a destination “balanced and versatile”capable of combining culture, gastronomy and nature in a unique offer. He Report places to the country ahead of France, Portugal or the United Kingdom in the North American market, and in a direct pulse with Italy and Greece for leadership in Mediterranean cultural experience. The data of 2024 and the first semester of 2025 They confirm it: The United States has become the fourth issuer market in total expenditure, with 9,014 million euros and more than 4.3 million visitors, a high -purchasing capacity tourist profile that stays eight days on average and spends more than 270 euros daily. From personal experience to the phenomenon. What started as a phenomenon of discovery staff (families and young people who shared in networks their astonishment from Spanish customs) has become a massive flow that BRAND EXPENSE REGRESS and Project millions of arrivals in the next three years. Spain has not only become a tourist destination of reference for Americans, but also a mirror of values ​​and lifestyles that contrast with those of their country of origin. Among the crowded terraces At midnight, the Mediterranean cuisinethe safety of cities or Public Healthan image is drawn that attracts both travelers in search of leisure and those who wish to rethink their entire life. The challenge, from now on, will be to manage this wave without being Dilute the quality of life That, paradoxically, it is The greatest attraction from Spain for those who discover it from afar.

Spain has dozens of abandoned unique roads. Now he wants to save them making them “historical roads”

by

If we have the roads we have today, it was because 125 years ago A Scottish and a Welsh were fed up with the dusty roads In those early years of the car. We start to asphalt those paths, some of them part of the country’s spinebut over time they were abandoned when they were advanced by the highways. The Government of Spain wants to give them a second life. Throughout geography, there are Kilometers of national roads that are in a deplorable state. He Maintenance of highways and roads More used is the one that takes the budget, while others are at your fate. Therefore, this 2025, the Government launches a program that aims to recover and enforce those roads. And the first ‘historical road’ will be a section of the N-IV that passes through desaperros. Spain and its new “historical roads” At the beginning of September this year, the Ministry of Transport and Sustainable Mobility and the foundation of the Spanish Railways They signed A collaboration agreement with an objective: recovery of the historical roads of the State Road Network. The idea is to catalog certain ways as “Historical assets linked to transport”which implies that these roads, at some point before being replaced, helped territorial expansion with population or merchandise movements. To do this, the agreement has a budget of 300,000 euros (200,000 by the Ministry of Transportation and 100,000 covering by the Foundation of the Railways) and, during the next four years, they will have to Identify which roads are suitable to become “historical road.” It is an action that will follow the example of the Program of ‘Green Roads’ which has managed to transform more than 3,500 kilometers of old railway paths for non -motorized use. There are numerous towns and cities that have some of these kilometers of ‘Green via‘With trees, some park, pícon areas and roads to hiking or bike. And it is something similar to what is proposed for these historical roads with the objective of curbing the situation of deterioration and loss to which certain pathways are exposed, as well as to value their contribution to the historical infrastructure of the country. The project has the name of Ivapchete And, in addition to identifying the roads, it must hierarchize the sections according to the patrimonial value of the paths of their linked elements. In principle, the initiative focuses on the Spanish road network, but can be expanded to study roads that are competencies of other administrations, provided they have that historical link with the state network. Perhaps the Map of the National Special Firm Circuit of 1926 can give us a clue what other candidates would be Apart from the initiative, There is already a pilot project: The Deseñaperros. During the coming months, the General Directorate of Roads of the Ministry will promote the elaboration of a recovery project of the Posqued of the old N-IV. It is a segment of 28.6 kilometers between Almuradiel in Ciudad Real and Santa Elena in Jaén. It is not surprising taking into account your Historical importance being the main access between Castilla-La Mancha and Andalucía, Territorial Unity Symbol which facilitated both trade and mobility between the plateau and the peninsular south. For centuries, before being called N-IV, of course, it was an essential artery, but the opening of the most convenient A-4 highway left the N-VI in the shadow. Now, will return to life as the first “historical road”becoming a way associated with non -motorized mobility and valueing its cultural importance. It remains to see what the impact of the project will be and, above all, what other ways can recover in this way. Images | Emilio J.

A paleontologist discovered a frozen bison for 50,000 years. Then he stewed him to eat it with vegetables

by

Almost half a century ago, in the middle of the Summer of 1979the American paleontologist Dale Guthrie received one of those calls that accelerate the pulse of any fossil lover like him. Some miners had found close to Fairbanks, in Alaska, which seemed to be part of the body of a bison of the ice age. At least that was what suggested the confusing knead of hooves, legs and skin that had peeked between the mud while the operators were looking for gold. Years after that call (and after intense work through) Guthrie and his colleagues celebrated the one who has probably been one of the most delusional banquets in the history of humanity: a stew with flesh of 55,000 years. What the hell is this? Something such that Walter Roman and his family have to think about the summer of 1979, when they discovered in a mine north of Fairbanks (Alaska) something that little or nothing had to do with the gold they were looking for. While working in the area they realized that something appeared between the frozen land: the remains of what seemed like a Ancient ancient creature of tens of thousands of years. They were so surprised that they warned of the finding and the news ended up arriving at Guthriepaleontologist at the University of Alaska Fairbanks (UAF). Something better than gold. Guthrie had to drive about an hour On gravel roads to get to the Roman mine, but the effort was worth it. Once there he observed what they looked like muscle tissues, bones and black hair, the remains of an ancient semi -soured steparia creature between the ice. “Roman’s finding was a novelty for both. He had found an authentic mummy, an exceptional event,” I would report Years later Guthrie in one of his books. The body had peeked thanks to the force of the hose with which the miners worked, powerful enough to remove part of the frozen mud, but not to completely release the body. Seeing him Guthrie decided to finish the task to prevent the meat from breaking down. With you, the Bison Priscus. The paleontologist concluded that what he had before him was a Bison Priscusan exceptionally well -preserved steparium bison if you take into account that tens of thousands of years had lived. Unfortunately, not everything was good news. Ice accumulations prevented removing the body quickly. And the summer heat played against him. To get out of trouble Guthrie took A decision Worthy of King Solomon: he waited for a large part of the body to appear, cut what could be preserved in one of the powerful freezers of the UAF and then excavated the rest of the body that was still embedded in the icy mud, which included the head and neck of the animal. When he had all the pieces he assembled them with the help of a specialized taxidermist. Not just that. As it details An article Published in 1986 in the Magazine of the University of Alaska (UA), the researchers were responsible for preserving the bones, hairs, insects, wood fragments and plants … any fragment that would be hidden among the ice, however insignificant, to rebuild the last instant of the life of the bison. For that same reason, the geology of the area analyzed in detail, in addition to the orientation and position in which the body was. Once the work was completed they baptized the animal ‘Blue Babe’. Why ‘Blue Babe’? For a double wink. The first, to the coloration that acquired the body for the chemical reactions that occurred during the excavation. The body was covered with a layer of Vivianita that, when exposed to the air, acquired a bluish hue. The second is a reference to American folklore: Blue Babe It is the name of the blue ox that accompanies Paul Bunyan, a popular US and Canada figure, a strong and large lumberjack. A bloody story. So far the funniest part. What Guthrie and his colleagues discovered (in the excavation His wife also participatedMary Lee) when examining the body was much less enjoyable. On the back they found brands of claws and teeth that led them to conclude that Blue Babe was killed by a Panthera Leoatrxan extinct and related feline with the African lions. The beast opened the side of the bison, killing and leaving exposed vertebrae, ribs and muscles that later were responsible for devouring other carnivores. A first radiocarbon dating of a skin fragment led them to think that this event occurred some 36,000 yearsalthough subsequent studies have proven that they fell short and traced it to 50,000 years. Much more than a fossil. He Panthera Leoatrx And the rest of the beasts who participated in the bloodthirsty Festin were not the only ones who put the vote at the coast of Blue Babe. When examining the body the scientists found out something else, that the bison died towards autumn or winter, which favored the body to cool quickly and ended up freezing before their 50,000 -year -old dream. Your state of conservation It was so extraordinarily good That the paleontologists found blood coagulated in the skin, bone marrow, fat … and something else: they found that the muscle tissue that the lion and rest of the beasts had not realized had a color and texture very similar to that of fresh meat. So, why treat it the same? “A small part of the neck”. “All of us who worked on this had heard the stories of the Russians who excavated things like bison and mammoths at the north end and were frozen enough to eat them,” He came to confess Guthrie in statements collected by Obscure atlas. “So we said: ‘Do you know what we can make’ prepare a meal with this bison ‘.” No sooner said than done. The paleontologist and his colleagues decided to try a piece of one of the best preserved parts of Blue Babe, the neck. The banquet was held in … Read more

How to create Gemini Gems to have your personalized view of artificial intelligence

by

Let’s explain How to create your own Gemini Gemand thus have a personalized version of Google’s artificial intelligence. The Gemini Gems They are like a kind of light and very simplified version of the Artificial Intelligence Agentsnot so complete, but easier to create. The idea of ​​this article is to have a mini guide to understand these personalized versions of Geminiand help you create the first to be able to adapt it to your needs. You will see that they are easier to do than you think, and the options are simple. What are the gems exactly The gems are Personalized versions of Geminithat allow you to use a personalized version of this artificial intelligence assistant. So you can adapt it to perform concrete tasks, play specific roles, or get answers of certain topics that interest you. It is something similar to Chatgpt GPTSbut for Gemini. Gems will allow you to create a version specialized in something concrete of Gemini. Thus, instead of the generic version of the AI ​​you can have one that is centered on the programming, on making a personal tutor or even reviewing your writing. For this, you will simply have to Write instructions telling you what your role and purpose isand from then on all the interactions will start from those rules that you have established. You can even add concrete articles or files to take into account your content in your answers. Although initially the gems were a payment function, currently You can create and use them with a free account from Google with Gemini. However, even being a function that is no longer paying is subject to the general limits of the free account, which means that you can only use the most basic AI model, with a very scarce limit in the use of the advanced model. Another of the limits to be used is in the context window, which is 32,000 tokens or around 50 pages of text, while The file limit for the knowledge base It is only 10. How to create your own gems To create your own Gemini Gems, you have to open the lateral menu of the web or the mobile application. Once inside, click on the option Discover Gems That will appear. This will take you to a screen where you can see a list of gems created by Google itself, and below the section where you have created. Here, click on the + buttonNew gene that will appear to start the process of creating a new one from scratch. This will take you to the screen where you will have to fill in the three necessary fields to create your Gem. You will have to give it a name, instructions and a knowledge base In the event that the latter is necessary. Three fields to define your new gem The first thing you have to do is name your gem. This is the distinctive name it will have, and with which it will appear on your list of gems created. It is recommended that it be a clear and distinctive name. Come on, it is better to call him “expert in SEO writing” than simply “Julián”. Then comes the most complex part, because you will have to Write detailed instructions of the Gem. This is the most important step, because it serves to define the role, tone and rules that this automatism must follow. You have to specify everything you can When you are writing these instructions. These are any of the most important aspects to be defined in the instructions When you are going to create your Gem: Personality: You will have to say what your role is, the character you must interpret and the tone you must use. For example, you can ask you to act as a rigorous but friendly university professor, or an editor of casual content and focused on Reels. Whatever you want, but this personality is important to define it to establish behavior. Objective and rules: It is also also important to specify what the main task of the GEM is, and what are the rules to be used. For example, you can say “Your work is to review the texts to find spelling, grammatical failures and improve the structure”, for example. You can also say things like “Never talk about issues that are not about …” to make it focus on that concrete task. Format: This is something optional, but you will also be able to define the structure of the answers. For example, you can ask that you always start with a summary and then make a list at several points, or whatever you think is necessary. In the end, the question is to define a response structure that is useful and according to the tasks you want to do this customization of Gemini. If you don’t clarify writing the instructionsyou have at your disposal the option to use Gemini to help you write them. For that, write two or three phrases describing the instructions, and then click on the pencil button Use Gemini to rewrite the instructions. By doing so, AI will develop instructions from your phrases, and then you will only have to modify them as you consider necessary. And last place, you have The field of Knowledge Where can you add files. This is something optional, you can simply give your Gem an additional information or context base to reference in chats. These files can upload them from Google Drive or your device. Here, when you upload files keep in mind that They will have priority over general knowledge When you ask the Gem. Come on, that version of Gemini will first look for the answer in those files you have sent, and if you ask you questions that can be answered with them. But if the GEM does not find the answer in its content, then it will resort to Gemini’s general knowledge. Try the Gem before saving it Once you have … Read more

In his career for the total domain of the solar panels, a rival has come out: the Spanish Perovskita

by

The sun will continue to shine, but the way we take advantage of it is changing at vertigo speed. While China and other countries are focused on improving the efficiency of Perovskita solar panels, Spain has set the point of solving another great challenge: stability. And he does it with a clear message: say goodbye to the silicon. Jubilating the silicon. Until now, talk about solar energy It was talking about silicon. Today, that equation begins to break through the Perovskita. In Madrid, an Imdea Nanocencia team has achieved that a cell reaches 25.2% certified efficiency, almost matching The world record of 26.7%. With this, Spain enters the first line of the race for the solar future. Not only that, they have also manufactured a mini-modulus of 25 cm² that maintains an efficiency of 22.1% and extraordinary stability, something that historically has been the Achilles heel of this technology. “These cells already exceed the commercial silicon, which barely reaches 18% efficiency, and open the door to the next generation of solar panels,” explains Nazario Martín, principal researcher of the project. The jump is not only academic. In research, Published in Advanced Materialsthey explain that Perovskita promises to reduce costs, be flexible, light and recyclable, in front of the silicon, whose production process is expensive and controlled almost exclusively by China. But the essential here is not so much efficiency and durability. The cells developed with the new PTZ-FL material maintain 95% of their performance after 3,600 hours of tests in demanding conditions (ISOS-D-1 protocol). In other words, we do not talk about fragile laboratory prototypes, but of devices capable of resisting the passage of time under sun, humidity and heat. The fund of the project. The advance is based on the design of molecules called Spiro-Fenotiazines, which act as “hollow transporters”, an essential layer in the solar cell. The PTZ-FL compound prevents lithium-ion migration, which is usually one of the main causes of degradation. In the words of the researchers, it is about building a “compact interface” that protects the material and improves its efficiency. In practical terms, it means that Perovskita modules are not only more powerful, but also much more resistant. China takes the lead. As he advanced above, China has focused its efficiency efforts. A study by the Huazhong University and Technology achieved a 28.8% record With a tandem cell totally from Perovskita, without silicon. This type of advance, such as Spanish, confirm that Perovskita can not only compete with silicon, but to overcome it in scenarios where it never shone: facades, windows, offices or even portable devices. There are very specific challenges. Beyond laboratory records, the great challenge is to bring this technology to the market. Today, the European Union depends largely on China to manufacture solar panels, According to an Ember report. Projects such as IMDEA not only seek efficiency, but also reduce this strategic dependence. In addition, the most expensive component of a solar panel is no longer silicon or glass, but aluminum frames, which represent 14% of the total cost. A reminder that the transition to Perovskita will require innovations not only in laboratories, also in factories and supply chains. Forecasts The solar future is no longer written with silicon. Perovskita has gone from being a fragile promise to real candidate for the market. The question is not whether it will come, but how and from where. Spain, with the advancement of IMDEA nanocencia, wants part of that response to have European seal. Image | Freepik Xataka | India needs more crops and solar energy than any other country.

Science has reviewed everything we know about sleeping well. The most important thing is the most obvious: light

by

In a saturated world of ‘life and gadgets that promise a perfect break, since face mask until Mantas with weightscience reminds us that the key to have a good sleep quality It is not in the product that appears in Tiktok, but in have a good sleep hygiene. And this happens to synchronize with our internal biological clock, what we know as the circadian rhythms. A concept on which it continues to be investigated and that allows us to know how our body is scheduled to sleep. The issue in this case is that modern life, with its artificial light and its chaotic schedules, It is the main enemy of these rhythms. And therefore of ourselves. A business. The market that exists around products that promise to help us have a better rest, the truth is that it generates billions of dollars a year. A figure that is logical, since nobody wants to spend the night and be the next day asking for coffee for the corners. And to avoid this we many times turn to whatever we see that they tell us that it works. However, many of these remedies are not only ineffective, but can be counterproductive. Andrew Mchill, a scientist specialized in circadian rhythms of the Oregon Health & Science University, warns That failed attempts can discourage people to seek professional help, worsening the situation. The solution. If we stick to science, the solution is completely free. The key is in Understand and respect our internal biological watches. A system of ‘watches’ that is present in each cell of the organism and that needs to be synchronized with the ‘central clock’ of the organism that is in the hypothalamus and specifically in the supraquiasmatic nucleus. To do this, this nucleus receives light signals that come through the eyes by the optical nerve that allows you to synchronize vital body functions such as the sleep-vigilia cycle and the production of hormones such as melatonin, which, which it is increasingly important Beyond allowing us to reconcile the dream such as repairing the data in our body. With a small nuance of basic physiology, Melatonin production It is suppressed or inhibited due to light collection. At the time the environment darkens, the pineal gland begins to release melatonin. And his mismatch has consequences that go beyond morning fatigue by affecting cognition, mood and reaction time. The contrasts. One of the keys is in the light as we have said, especially in the blue wavelength. This makes the daytime light rich in these blue tones, Synchronize our circadian rhythms throughout the day. But when the night comes and we are on the couch watching the last Instagram or Tiktok reos this blue light of the screens makes our body end up dislocating. Literally, with this constant exposure to the blue light we are indicating the body that is still daytime and that has to be underway and not decay. Something that ultimately triggers the hated insomnia. A study of Global Health Institute of Barcelona (ISGlobal) He warns that overexposure to the “blue light” of electronic devices alters our sleep-vigilia cycle when interfering with melatonin production. The solution, according to experts, is to seek contrast: expose ourselves to natural light during the day and reduce exposure to artificial light at night. A simple outdoor walk or work near a window can make a big difference. At night, it is advisable to lower the intensity of the lights, turn off the screens or use applications that adjust the color temperature to warmer tones. Or even bet on red lights that does not interfere with melatonin production. Meals. Our digestive system also has its own schedule, causing hormones that cause or inhibit hunger, digestive or even Insulin itself also works by rhythms. This makes eating on the undo, especially late at night, alters these watches and can cause digestive problems, an increase in body temperature and an increase in glucose levels, which makes sleep difficult. And it makes enough sense. When the end of the day is approaching and the sun begins to wear, the body begins to prepare to sleep, reducing insulin, which is a fundamental hormone to control blood glucose levels. In the event that we give us a binge during the night, we are causing these insulin levels to have to rise compulsively when the body is going down. Something that completely dislocates to the body. The recommendation is to follow what you have surely heard: “Breakfast like a king, eats like a prince and dinner like a beggar.” The last meal of the day should be at least three hours before bedtime. The consistency. Sleep The right time is as important as the amount of hours we sleep. Our body has an optimal sleep window, which varies according to our chronotype (if we are “evening” or “morning”). However, work and study schedules often force us to ignore our biological clock. The Spanish Sleep Society (SES) He insists on the importance of maintaining regular sleep schedules, even on weekends, to keep our circadian rhythm synchronized. The generalized use of alarmrs is proof that most of us live in conflict with our constant biology. Seek help. Something very important in these cases is to seek help from professionals in the event that the biological clock is completely uncontrolled. In many situations, exogenous melatonin can be administered at high doses accompanied by a plan to improve sleep hygiene. But beyond this, Mayic Mayic It offers different tips that can be obvious how to create an adequate rest environment, exercise regularly, control food and especially establish the most appropriate relaxation routine. Although clearly getting away from the screens and maintaining an adequate schedule is the most recommended so that we can finally sleep peacefully.
