The extreme cold has not touched Spain for two years and experts fear that we are about to see a third. With all that implies

by

Spring is just around the corner and, we like it or not, this means that we can start drawing conclusions. The first is that every minute that passes is more likely to finish winter without seeing any “cold wave.” And that is not even what most worries meteorologists. Because the real problem is that it would be the second consecutive winter without cold waves and a third would be at hand. With all that this entails. Isn’t it a bit precipitated to give the winter for dead? The truth is not. Although this week an extremely cold mass of air will cover a good part of Europe, Spain will escape from it. And on March 1 (which is when climate spring begins) is very close to be able to house realistic hopes about an extreme cold episode. And, in the background, what we are going to see this week summarizes very well what has been going on two winters: we have not suffered powerful cold irruptions. They have all stayed north. It is a story that is repeated again and again. But it’s not so weird either, right? That is true. The cold episodes become more and more rare in Spain. In fact, this January can only be described as very warm (Although we have suffered a handful of cold nights). A example that Roberto Granda puts It is that of Molina de Aragón. The average minimum between 1991 and 2020 is -3.3º, but this year it has been at -0.3. The data speak for themselves. In the end, As I pointed out A few years ago our partner Javier Pastor, “is not that it is very cold now, it is that we do not do it because it is no longer so common.” With this in mind, the question begins to be … how long can this last? “Unusual and worrying.” That is, what would happen if the winter of 2026 is still on the same line? The answer, According to Samuel Biener de Meteoredit is summarized in those two words: “Unusual and worrying.” Because we have documented other consecutive warm winters (those of 97 and 98, those of 2000 and 2001 or those of 2023 and 14); But we have not seen three consecutive yet. And we know it will arrive. Because, As Biener points outwarm winters are being increasingly frequent. It is a matter of time that we fit three. And what is the problem? More than a problem (that too), we talk about a fear: that warm winters stop being an anomaly and become the norm. That change is a large-scale disruption of the country’s socio-ecological system. It is no accident that, a few months after the drought, The data begin to be so bad. Again. Not only climatic pressures They hit us stronger than everthe thing is They don’t let us replenish. And that will lead us to the edge of the precipice again and again. Yes it’s true. The current climate is full of paradoxes: Historical ice minimums live with snow maximumstudies on The weakening of the Gulf current They coexist with others that point to nothing has changed in substantial terms and thus a long etcetera. However, there is something that Yes we know is that we are vulnerable And if we don’t prepare ourselves, Let’s be much more.

This is how Ech works, the Technological Shield of Cloudflare that has put the operators between the sword and the wall

by

The LaLiga fight against illegal soccer broadcasts It has encountered an unexpected obstacle: Ech (Encrypted Client Hello), an encryption protocol that stars in the great conflict and the collateral damage of this battle, which splashes thousands of companies. Turning point. It all started when Cloudflare implemented in October 2023 (Encrypted Client Hello), an extension of TLS that prevents operators from identifying which specific domain is requesting the user. This protocol makes it technically impossible for operators to see which specific domain requests a user. The contrast. ECH works as an additional encryption layer that completely hides the final destination of a connection: When a user tries to access a website, his browser initiates an encrypted “negotiation” (Handshake TLS) With the server. Before ECH, although this connection was encrypted, the name of the domain was traveling “in clear” so that the intermediate servers could enrut the traffic. With ECH, the name of the domain is also encrypted, making it impossible for the operators to know which concrete website the user is accessing. The system is even more complicated because Cloudflare uses shared IPS: The same IP address can house hundreds or thousands of different websites. Without ECH, the operators could see what domain each user requested and block selectively. With ATU activated, they only see an encrypted IP that could be serving both legal and illegal content. This leaves two options to the operators: block all the IP (affecting hundreds or thousands of sites) or not blocking anything. When they choose the first thing the Blocked legitimate websites. To avoid blockages, which also translate into a reputational crisis, some operators are resorting to alternative techniques such as: Traffic patterns analysis. Deep inspection of packages (DPI). BLOCK BY SNI (Indication of the server name) when ECH is not active. But these solutions are complex, expensive and not always effective. The conflict has climbed, Movistar has softened his blockages, Digi has hardened them and Vodafone says to have a more precise solution although it has not revealed details yet (since Xataka We have asked them for this without having received an answer at the time of publishing this article). They possibly use one of the last points. The next. Ech has supposed a huge change in Internet architecture. The precedent of Austria, where IPS blockades were prohibited To protect the neutrality of the network, it suggests that the current regulation model needs to adapt to this new reality. Meanwhile, the pulse between LaLiga and Cloudflare persists, and thousands of Spanish companies also remain trapped in the midst of the conflict.

Renfe and Ouigo prepare their artillery against the Railway Liberalization of Cercanías

by

The first battle has already occurred but there is a lot (a lot) for the war to end. Because after the liberalization of the high Spanish speed, the opening of the market arrives in vicinity and medium distance. A space that is still Monopoly of Renfe but which should be able to arrive new actors in the coming years. Among those actors is, of course, ouigo. Liberalization. In 2021, the Spanish roads lived a historical moment: Ouigo began to operate in our country. For the first time, Renfe had competition and came from the hand of a French origin company. Later it would arrive Iro From Italy. They are currently the three companies that offer high -speed services in the Spanish roads. Liberalization was forced with the guidelines of the Fourth Rail Package of the European Union with the idea that competition will help offer more efficient and cheap services for the user. High speed liberalized, Spain has to take the next step: near and medium distance. A delicate theme. High speed liberalization has already meant a clash between the government, Renfe and Ouigo. But opening the doors to near and medium distance is an even more thorny issue because we talk about rail services that have public service obligations. They explain in Five days that in 2023 these services transferred 492 million passengers and that most of them have revenues below the average. Entering this market is a real risk for companies since they must deal with accessible prices and, at the same time, costs that allow them to earn money. A first advance. Following the railway services provided with public service obligations, government and ouigo have already collided for this reason. From the Executive They lamented in April 2024 that the new operators had the advantage of deciding where they wanted to be, while Renfe did look at the obligation to reach many more cities. According to Óscar Puente, Minister of Transportation, this prevents Renfe from competing in the same conditions as its rivals that can afford some flexibility when playing with prices. A flexibility that from the government consider excessive in the case of Ouigo to those who have directly accused throw prices below cost sustained by the French state. Yes, but. What we expect with the liberalization of near and medium distance is a new battle between Renfe and operators that are about to be revealed. We already know that one of them is an ouigo but the rest (at least three) remains in anonymity. They explain in 20 minutes that now the battle to define what aspects are key to getting the future tender has begun. In Ouigo they already press to make it clear that they will only be presented to the contest if they can have access to the rolling material and the staff, which would be subrogated. In this way, the risk to run would be much less. From Renfe they have another proposal: commission the work to the operator “that is in a better disposition to provide the service”, in words collected by the Digital newspaper. The company fears that competitors choose to offer too low prices and then cannot fulfill their obligations Yes, but (part 2). In addition to the above conditions, Ouigo would have put another condition: compensation of one million euros if, finally, the tender would not be taken after being presented to the contest. They defend that the cost of preparing for this tender already involves a cost of three million euros, so they require being able to recover part of the investment if it goes wrong. In The Spanish They pick up that the company also wants the first tenders to open the door to simple and little complex services. That is, start with lots that do not present cross -border circulations, for example. When? At the moment, what we have left is to wait because the liberalization of near and medium distance can still take several years. At the moment, The Renfe contract is active until 2027 and contemplates an extension of another five years. However, the services that barely suppose 3% of the contract, can be liberalized as of January 2026. Therefore, we would be talking that the bulk of the amounts and medium distance services operated by a player other than Renfe would not reach up to 2028 or, even, 2033 if the contract that he has right now is reached. The CNMC, yes, has already opened a Public Consultation Phase so that interested operators register their claims.

How many things they presented then have reached our lives

How young we were all ten years ago. How different everything was, also in technology. How different? A good way to understand it is to take a look at the Great products and trends that occurred in CES 2015. The Fair par excellence of technology and consumer electronics gave Much to talk (and write) in Xatakabut what remained of all that? That is, what products really raised changes that were durable? What trends ended up making sense? And of course, what products did they fail? This is a small review in which we precisely explore how and how much things have changed a decade later. A small time trip confirming something we have always known: that technology moves fast. A lot. OLED 4K TELES (Or was UHD said?) Enter and increasing The Smart TV segment then accelerated clearly. The manufacturers began to aim a future in the OLED technology It would be the protagonist, as has finally happened. The thrust of the 4K resolutions It was also evident, and little by little I would conquer absolutely all the catalogs of the different brands. In fact it was then when He was born The UHD Alliance call. There was some confusion with the terms 4K, UHD or DCI 4K. In fact, many of the current alternatives are evolution of those first OLED models, and in CES 2015 we saw how for example LG resisted To leave the LCD panels. This firm also promoted Your operating system, Webos 2.0to govern your smarttv. That was a singular advance, because thanks to the arrival of Quick Start the start -up time of Webos became 3 or 4 seconds when until then it had been 30 seconds !! Inconceivable! Samsung, his great rival, bet in his place for Tizen. It was clear that televisions wanted to be the absolute center of the entertainment experience at home, although here Google would end up taking the cat to the water with Android TV. Samsung tried to continue betting on Tizen for a long time, but last year He said goodbye to this platform In his smart TV with a clear objective: that the witness in 2025 takes. Curves for not all, thanks Ten years ago there was a great trend in all types of screens: make them curves. That for example we saw On LG’s teles and even in all-in-one teams like the Samsung Ativ One 7 of the time, which presumed a screen (slightly 4000r) curved. Samsung Ativ One 7 Of course, Samsung was not the only one, and HP raised for example Curved monitorsUHD and up to 5k with which to increase productivity. The curve in monitors has become little frequent: only some ultrapanoramic monitors such as the Samsung Odyssey have a real party. But if there were devices with striking curved screen, those were mobile phones. In this CES 2015 Samsung He bet again For this option and launched the LG G FLEX 2a mobile that even today attracts attention for that design. That trend remained in that, and soon the manufacturers understood something that consumers saw from the first moment: the practical advantages of that were almost non -existent, although certainly The “wow” effect was patent. Over time that trend was transformed into another type of curved screen: those that made the screens “wrapping” the sides of the mobiles, something that has not finished curdling either. Today the trend is clear, and Manufacturers have said goodbye definitive (or almost) to this type of designs. Recording everything that happens to us In recent weeks, interest in devices that record everything we say or do so that AI allows us to extract data seems to have been reactivated. The pendants and other wearables launched recently demonstrate it. However, the idea is not at all new. 10 years ago the call was presented in CES 2015 Narrative Clip 2a small device that was easily placed in our clothes and that allowed to capture a photo every 30 seconds, although it also allowed to capture videos of 30 seconds. That did not prosperand not even AI could be enough for these products that listen to us and record everything today. Blessed screens without frames Not long ago, in a not too distant place, the frames dominated everything. Smartphones, tablets, and of course laptops had notable frames on their screens. Thus were the screen frames before 2015 (laptop from behind) and then (XPS 13, in front). What a difference. And then Dell arrived, who presented his Dell XPS 13 (9343) and changed everything. Those laptops stood out for almost completely eliminate screen frames. It was wonderful. That seemed impossible, but that obvious improvement in design also accompanied him a functional and practical: a 13 -inch laptop occupied what he used to occupy an 11 -inch, for example. Dell showed that reducing the frames to their minimal expression was something we didn’t know we wanted. That idea soon conquered all kinds of devices, and little by little we saw how the frames They disappeared also of our TVs “I had some.” brave attempt years ago, but the trend resurfaced strongly In 2014– and Our mobiles. There was another consequence of that. A staff. Dell XPS 13 (9343) left me so hallucinated that I would end up buying that team shortly after. Ten years later, by the way, he continues to war: he still uses it with some frequency, but who uses it daily is my daughter, which I will have to teach him how the laptops “before.” Curiosities: some triumphed, others not These trends were accompanied by that 2015 several significant releases. Nvidiafor example, he presented that year His Tegra X1 chipswhich seemed to be aimed at mobile devices and even vehicles, but that have become famous for being the heart of the Nintendo Switch. Of course at that time it was impossible to know: that console would not arrive until March 2017. This Asus Zenfone 2 stood out for putting aside the Qualcomm chips and betting on … Read more

some of his advice to achieve it

As main sales responsible, Steve Ballmer was a key piece to build the foundations of what is the current Microsoft. Your energy and charisma They captivated Bill Gates when both coincided in the halls of the Harvard residence. A few years later, Bill Gates would claim him at his side to turn Microsoft into one of the more prosperous technological ones of the next four decades. While it is true that his time as Microsoft CEO It cannot be considered of the brightest of the company Regarding productit was regarding the development of the company. As published FortuneBallmer tripled the annual income of Microsoft, and prepared the land for Satya Nadella to catapult the company to the place it occupies today, with a capitalization of 3.2 billion dollars. However, unlike Bill Gates, Steve Ballmer is part of that exclusive company managers club that have been made Milmillonarios without founding the company which has made them a millionaire. According to the Forbes Millionaires ListBallmer’s fortune amounts to $ 121,400 million, surpassing his mentor and friend Bill Gates with 108.8 billion dollars. These are the five keys to Steve Ballmer that have led him to reach the business success. You have to see the pitch Steve Ballmer owns the NBA Los Angeles Clippers team, but since his university time he has been closely linked to team management, as Bill Gates recalled in his newly published book ‘Code Source: My beginnings‘in which he pointed out that Ballmer directed the University Soccer Club. “If the CEO does not see the playing field, no one else can do it. The team may need to see it too, but the CEO really needs to see all the competitive space,” explained Steve Ballmer to Fortune in An interview 2013. Ballmer let out The mobile telephony trainbut he focused on the climbing of his Cloud computing model anticipating what really made a difference a decade later. Following sports parallelism with the mythical Wayne Gretzky phrase: “I patino where the album will be, not where it has already been.” Surround yourself with the best talent While he was in charge of Microsoft, Ballmer surrounded himself with some of the best talents from Silicon Valleyas Steven Sinafskywho was in charge of Windows, or J. Allard, one of those responsible for the project Xbox will not be forgotten In a drawer. “We are better when we have very talented people with whom we also worked together,” said the millionaire to Fortune In 2013. In An interview with The Wall Street Journal In 2009, Ballmer said that “to be dynamic”, companies should promote internal workers “70% or 80% of the time” and someone really committed to the project. The manager said that, one of his favorite moments during the hiring process was when he asked the candidates “‘Tell me something you are proud.’ He could see the passion in his eyes,” said Ballmer. Get it on everything and change your mind Something that Steve Ballmer learned is that, in technology, everything changes very quickly and is necessary constantly rethink the land on which it is stepped on not to be suspended in a vacuum. It is something that also learned Steve Jobsrethink everything and change your mind when the evidence leaves no doubt. “There was a time when people said that all the money was in the software; “Then someone will say: ‘Oh, the most important thing is advertising’”, alluding to the Google model. “The only certain thing is that the playing field is constantly changing,” said Ballmer. Therefore, the important thing is know how to adapt to changesand not remain static. Something that came out very expensive to Kodak reference companies Like Nokia, or Blackberry. Act in the short term, plan in the long term One of Bill Gates’ greatest concerns at the head of Microsoft was to make a mistake and not be able to pay the payrolls of its employees. He said In an interviewIn 2017 with Ellen Degeneres. “I was always worried because the people who worked for me were older than me and had children, and always thought: What happens if they don’t pay us? Can I deal with the payroll?” Gates spread that obsession with his friend Ballmer, as well as his strategy to prevent this fear from conditioning his decisions. The solution was to have a vision long -term optimistic, but a more pessimistic attitude immediately. “To do well the important things that generate all the money requires a very long period of time. Executing in a way that allows you to do it is a short cycle,” said Ballmer. Of course, it is something that has put into practice in its current main business, transforming a team that was falling in a fallen layer until it became one of the most profitable, while still projecting to the future With a totally new stadium. Know your weaknesses and learn to overcome them “Obviously I understand the business issues than technology. I have grown up, and when you grow up, you say: ‘Go, I was not aware of how much I did not know,” Ballmer said in 2013. In that aspect, Ballmer coincided with the decalogue of knowledge for Get success Professional Sam Altman published on his blog staff. Build yourself and Find personal growth makes it transit by new roads that open new opportunities.

How $ Libra and the cryptocurrency macroestaf

by

Around al Memecoin $ Libra everything has gone at a speed of infarction. It was The ball of its price, which on Friday triggered its global value until it adds several billions of dollars in a matter of hours. It was his collapse, just as resounding and accelerated. And now his controversy is being, with an intense crossing of criticism and accusations of Macroestafa Among the protagonists of what promises to be one of the most rocambolesque chapters of the brief cryptohistory. In the eye of the hurricane is Javier Milei, president of Argentina and an essential figure to understand what happened. For now, $ Libra seems to be costing him a cascade of accusations for fraud and considerable erosion of its popularity. In fact there are already those who, pulling irony and black humor, have baptized it “Ponzidente” In a wink to the famous system of Ponzi pyramidal scams. A name: $ Libra. To understand what happened, you have to go back late Friday, when Javier Milei published in networks, for the 3.8 million of followers that adds in X and the six million of Instagram, a message in which it basically promoted a cryptocurrency called $ Libra. Exactly, just like the name of his own party, La Libertad advancesLla. That the head of state of Argentina gave visibility to what he called “private project” focused on “growth” was understood as something else: an endorsement, a support, a guarantee of reliability. After all, Milei spoke from the same platforms that he often uses ads, launching opinions or heading to other world leaders. The result was expected. He lifted his mood. And there were Argentines who took advantage of their huchas to invest. Click on the image to go to Tweet. A phrase: “encourage growth”. That in networks, media and forums have not stopped commenting The tweet Published by Milei on Friday at the last minute, even though that message has already been deleted from the Argentine leader’s account, it makes enough sense. Without him it is difficult to understand everything that happened later and The consequences that may have for him in the future. After starting with a “Liberal Argentina grows !!!”, Milei presented $ Libra as an entrepreneurship focused on the development and capture of wealth. “This private project will be dedicated to encourage the growth of the Argentine economy, anchoring small Argentine businesses and ventures. The world wants to invest in Argentina.” The tweet It included a link to a platform that –Cryptopolitan needs– He already invited to suspicate and linked to a Google form to process financing applications. Other heavyweights From the extreme right Argentina helped give visibility. A figure: 4.5 billion. $ Libra grew like foam. Even more. Despite the misgivings that did not take the project and that everything indicated that the domain had been registered just a few hours before Of the launch, Milei’s tweet seemed to give wings to the Memecoin. In a very short time its market capitalization shot until they were around 4.5 billion of dollars. However, with them and after that vertiginous growth, it collapsed to the ground. The Kobeissi Letter has elaborated A thread To explain step by step the sequence in detail, but it is summarized in a simple way: in full spiral of optimism and growth, large owners of $ Libra began to liquidate huge sums of dollars in minutes, achieving millionaire earnings. Cryptopolitan Explain that when people started asking questions Insiders of $ Libra there were taken 87.4 million dollars. In just three hours. A concept: ‘rug-pull’. Shortly after the launch of the Memecoin He began to sound Anything else: a concept, Rug-Pull (“Plush pull”, in Spanish), which basically describes the fraudulent practice of those who create cryptocurrencies, attract investors and then disappear quickly, withdrawing their funds. In summary, inflate an asset artificially to capture investors and step back when the spiral is at its peak taking millionaire gains. In Your report Regarding the firm Kobbeissi Letter says that “in five hours more than 4.4 billion market capitalization was erased.” Moreover, there are means that already speak of more than 40,000 investors who have seen their money trapped in the project endorsed by Milei. Hours after launching a post promoting $ Libra, the Argentine leader’s account erased the original publication and hung Another messagevery different tone, in which it basically marks distances with the Memecoin and charge hard against their critics. A tweet: “I have no link”. “A few hours ago I published a Tweet, like so many other infinite times, supporting an alleged private venture that obviously has no link,” the Argentine leader starts in Your second message. “I was not internalized from the details of the project and after having internalized I decided not to continue disseminating (that’s why I erased the tweet).” Little has served him. After what happened the weekend, they have not stopped the reactions. The case has raised comparisons with the Trump launchwhich also grew strongly before disinfied, has given rise to criticism of the opposition and above all he has focused the focus on who is behind $ libra and to what extent he was milei aware of the risks and what ended up happening. Click on the image to go to Tweet. A reaction: complaints. Yesterday was presented a criminal complaint against Milei for “illegal association”, “scams” and “breach of the duties of a public official” and already There is news They point out that the number of claims has continued to grow. The opposition threat now With a Impeachment while the leader load against “The unclean rats of the political caste that want to take advantage of the situation” and alleges that has been directed to anti -corruption.

Share meetings with Boomers and Millennials

by

The Z generation is marking its own standards in the workplacewith substantial changes in relation to label and behavior with respect to their classmates. The survey made by papersowl to 2,000 young people between 18 and 34 years old revealed that Rules of behavior They seemed basic, they did not have the same consideration for the youth of generation Z as They are incorporated into the labor market. With the return to the offices, the youth of the Z generation are entering a new scenario in which they must physically live with colleagues from other generations, so they must adapt to avoid confrontations in Work meetings. Arrive 10 minutes late, is to be late One of these new rules of label that has relaxed generation ZIt is punctuality. When it comes to meetings, that is one of the most common mistakes and is one of the main fouls of Respect for the rest of the attendees. As he counted Arden Clise in An interview for Business InsiderExpert in Protocol and Professional Relations, “if everyone is late, you cannot start a meeting on time and what is needed to achieve is not achieved,” said Clise. In that case, the recommendation is to give a couple of minutes of courtesy, but start the meeting on the scheduled time not to waste time those who have arrived on time. The presence of the remote assistant If people are remote people in the meeting, the right thing is keep the camera on at all times to reinforce the presence of the person. Turn it off (except for technical problems or specific incidents) while intervening or during a direct conversation lack of respect is considered. It would be the equivalent of one of the attendees heading to another turning his back. In person you would never do it, so a way to maintain that “visual contact” is to keep the camera active. Video -ollal meetings already suppose a challenge in itself for the complexity of the Human communication systemspreventing that the entire context of microgests are effectively transmitted that, subconsciously, we transmit human beings being face to face. Keeping the camera off ruins any possibility of communicating efficiently. No multitasking during meetings Multitary is one of the main enemies of productivity And, in addition, according to Clise a disrespect for the rest of the attendees. “If you are not present at the meeting, if you are doing another job, you will not listen to what is happening. You are not going to participate because you are losing that opportunity,” said the label expert. Unless you are Taking notesor reviewing the documentation of the meeting, refraining other tasks during the course of the meeting. One of the objectives of the meetings is to share certain problems or solutions, so the contribution of the attendees is necessary. That implies Keep attention On the subject that is being treated in case you can contribute something. If on the contrary, you think your presence at that meeting is totally unnecessary and makes you waste time, you might deny you to attend. It is something that Elon Musk imposes on his employees: If you get bored or your presence does not contribute anything, go. Write excessively in chat Another error that should be avoided in remote meetings is Write too for chat. This channel can be used to add links to documents or information about what is being discussed, but comment on the meeting in parallel through the chat generates distractions to others. “Chatting is like maintaining a parallel conversation in a meeting in person,” said Clise. It is best to use it with moderation and only for specific things that provide additional data to attendees. Monopolize the conversation The opposite end to do other things during the meeting is to monopolize the conversation with constant interventions, without leaving other thoughts and option to share their thoughts and obstruct communication. If your role is to explain a certain project, space should be left for the comments of other assistants, doubts or possible questions, instead of monopolizing all the time or trying eclipse or interrupt comments of third parties. “Sometimes it is difficult at a meeting, especially in a virtual meeting, knowing when someone ended or will end. But if you are someone who interrupts others regularly … that can be very offensive,” said the relationship expert labor. Right to speak, but also to shut up Meetings, especially face -to -face, are a whole Challenge for introverts. Such and as stood out Itziar García, Director of Communication and Institutional Relations of Blablacar, not all have the same ability to speak in public, even in front of co -workers, so someone He prefers to stay silentyour decision must be respected and not increasing for it. Instead, what is indicated is to ask in an polite way what they think about a specific point, reinforcing their security by commenting that the good ideas they could have in the past. Comply with the commitments acquired One of the reasons for Take notes during meetings is to ensure that all attendees are clear about tasks that must be completed and the deadline To do them. Arden Clise assures that one of the most common mistakes is to forget them as soon as he leaves the meeting because They have not been noted Neither tasks nor deadlines. Failure to comply with it is a lack of respect for the rest of the classmates who have taken the trouble to do their job. “Not fulfilling your part of work tasks does not speak well of you. If you do not do your work, you do not help your colleagues and do not allow the company to achieve its goals,” says the expert.

Almost a year ago, towards the end of the Southern Summer, the Antarctic Expedition team of the National Museum of Natural Sciences (MNCN-CSIC) He detected the arrival From the highly pathogenic avian flu virus (H5N1) to Antarctic fauna. On that occasion the detection was in marine mammals but They would soon arrive The news of the detection of the pathogen in the penguin populations of the region. An expanding virus. Now the same, the CSIC-UNESPA expedition has confirmed The expansion of the virus in the most remote continent in the world: all animal species analyzed In the Weddell Sea surroundings they showed the presence of highly pathogenic avian flu virus (HPAI). As the team explains, the analyzes left 42 positive tests. 28 corresponded to corpses of species such as Crab, Skuas (Paxos), Gaviota, Antarctic Paloma, Adelia Pingüino and Papua Penguin; While the remaining 14 positives were obtained from analysis to living specimens from skuas, and Adelia and Papua penguins. Antonio Alcamí, who led the expedition, pointed in a press release That the viral load detected in the bodies was “very high, which indicates a risk of exposure to virus in the proximity of the bodies.” Contrasting new technologies. The team used various methodologies in its analysis, some of them, innovations that could help in the detection of outbreaks in very different contexts. This is the case of air sampling. This methodology was applied in penguin colonies and consists of the installation of a pump connected to a nanofiber filter. Once the sampling is done, a laboratory performs a PCR test to determine if it has captured the virus. According to Explain Alcamíthe results obtained have allowed to validate this air sampling test as a virus detection method. Its use could allow virus detection without manipulating animals. A year later. The analyzes have allowed the team to conclude that the infection can be extended in the colonies of penguins without causing great mortality that of the presence of its presence. This raises an additional issue: if the penguins are more resistant to the virus than we believed or if this resistance is the result of the immunity of the specimens that were exposed to the virus last year. The arrival of the virus to Antarctica was a matter of time. In 2022 the arrival of the HPAI virus to South America was confirmed, so the first detections in mammals and birds in the icy continent was not entirely surprising. The new data now allow us to know better the magnitude of a problem that affects both wild birds and the farms of poultry and that has already extended to other areas of the livestock industry such as that of the milk production.

15,000 euros of fine and nine months in jail

by

Use the driving card of a third to get rid of the withdrawal of points. The practice is so common that it is possible to find ads in digital purchase and sale spaces, such as Milanuncios. That is what a driver did in 2015. Now, the Supreme Court has settled its case and has bad news. Identification. When on a highway or highway we circulate above 150 km/h, the driver risks the withdrawal of two to six points from the driving card. The economic amount exceeds, in these cases, 200 euros and can reach 600 euros. However, when this speed is recorded by a Fixed radar (or with Pegasus)the DGT will force us to identify the driver with the intention of subtracting the person who was driving the corresponding points. A lagoon in which many drivers found a good basket. I prefer to take my money. That obligation to identify the driver has led to a repeated scam: endorse the fine for loss of points to a third party. It is usually relatively simple with older people who have stopped conducting those who do not care about the points they have in their license. The situation can be much more harmful for those who work at the expense of maintaining an active driving license, such as a delivery man. It is not strange, therefore, that in digital spaces of sale we come to find ads in which the purchase of other people’s driving card is proposed for an amount that, in some cases, reaches 1,000 euros per retired point. Documentary falsehood. The maneuver is recurrent because, like fixed radars “hunt” the vehicle behindit is difficult to confront the version that a 90 -year -old was not the one after the steering wheel of a car that has registered a speed of 160 km/h. However, it has many risks since those who endorse their points to the license of a third party will be incurring a crime of documentary falsehood, which multiplies the problems in case justice discover that we are trying to deceive them. It is what happened to this León driver. 15,000 euros of fine. The case of this man was recorded in 2015. Then, he was sanctioned for speeding with a punishment that forced the withdrawal of points. To avoid this, he registered his 82 -year -old father as a offender. Paid the fine, everything should have been left in what often happens: a hoax to the administration. This case, however, is particular because the driver did not maintain a good relationship with his father who, upon learning of the trick, denounced the driver, explain in The country. Now, a decade later, the Supreme Court has reaffirmed in the sentence imposed by lower instances: 15,000 euros of fine and a nine -month prison sentence. The Supreme Court ensures that the driver lacked the truth when answering the requirement of the sanction and is reaffirmed in the conviction of the Provincial Court of León, who alleged that there had been a crime of documentary falsehood. Inconsistencies. To defend himself, the driver claimed that during the previous years, justice has not followed a specific jurisprudence. Likewise, he assured that in his way of acting there was an “ideological falsehood” or, what is the same, missing the truth in the narration of the facts. However, the Supreme Court ensures that this is not true. They understand that when the driver’s registration is falsified, an alteration of the document itself occurs. Thus, this makes the “document in its entirety constitute a fallacy”, while recalling that it has produced direct damage to the figure of the father.
