Andalusia wants to recover the experience of its retired teachers, but sets one condition: that they do it for free

by

The Junta de Andalucía has created a new figure in Spanish public education: emeritus collaborating teachers. The idea is that retired teachers They can rejoin training tasks in schools and institutes to share their experience with active teachers and students. The Board’s proposal It is collected under the Red Share Experience program and can mobilize up to 2,500 retirees a year throughout the community. There is a detail in this measure that has not gone unnoticed: the retired teachers who participate will do so completely voluntarily and will not charge anything, as indicated in the Decree 12/2026 It was approved by the Government Council on February 4, 2026 and has just come into force after its publication in the Official Gazette of the Junta de Andalucía. ​The objective: not to lose the experience. The Ministry of Educational Development and Vocational Training has presented This measure is considered “pioneer in Spain”, and its objective is to take advantage of the knowledge accumulated by teachers who have spent decades in the classrooms and put it at the service of centers that need it. In the standard, the Board defines the figure of emeritus collaborating teachers, retired teachers with a long teaching career who maintain their link with educational centers and carry out advisory, training and support tasks in complementary activities. The program has legal backing under the Andalusian Education Law of 2007, which in its article 23.4 already contemplated the possibility of retired teachers collaborating in libraries and support management teams. This new decree expands and regulates that framework for the first time. What requirements must be met to participate?. It is not enough to have been a teacher to participate in the project, a series of requirements are required. You must be retired for any reason other than permanent disability, be under 75 years of age when submitting the application and have worked for at least 15 years in public or subsidized non-university centers in Andalusia. Furthermore, you cannot have received a firm sanction for serious or very serious misconduct in the five years prior to retirement, nor have you been convicted of crimes against sexual freedom. A maximum limit of 2,500 places is set for the entire community for each annual call. a report of the UGT union of 2022 confirms that in Spain 34.5% of non-university teachers are over 50 years old, while in secondary school this percentage rises to 38.4%, which indicates that there will be a significant number of potential candidates for this project in the coming years. What they can do and what they are prohibited from doing. The decree that has just been published imposes a very clear red line from the beginning: the emeritus “will not occupy jobs or perform functions typical of active professors.” What they can do is accompany newly arrived teachersmentor intern students, energize the school library, organize talks and workshops, participate in innovation projects, guide students in their academic path or collaborate on the center’s social networks and publications, among other activities. However, although they do not receive a salary for their contribution, the emeritus do have some compensation. The Board guarantees them insurance that covers accidents, illness and civil liability. At the end of each course they will receive an official certification and will have free access to cultural institutions under the same conditions as active teachers. How and when to apply for a place. The program works through two methods of incorporation. On the one hand, there is the open route that allows retired teachers to present a project that any center in Andalusia can incorporate if interested. The concrete route, on the other hand, is designed for those who want to collaborate with a specific school or institute. In both cases, the project must fit into the center’s plan and have the prior approval of the Teaching Staff and the School Council. If there are more candidates than places available in a single center, the tiebreaker is resolved in order of seniority in that center or in the teaching staff.

The International Space Station, that orbits the earth since 1998it does not go through your best moment. In fact, according to the Security Committee that advises NASA, it is entering a critical phase that threatens to put its last years of life at risk. Maximum concern. The experts of the Aerospace Security Advisory Panel (ASAP), an independent committee created to advise NASA on security issues, expressed their “deep concern” for the aging orbital station at a public meeting on April 17. “The International Space Station has entered the riskiest period of its existence,” said Rich Williams, a member of the Committee, According to the SpaceNews chronicle. Williams did not refer to new problems, but to an accumulation of technical problems and budgetary deficits that now pose a critical threat to operations aboard the station. Cracks that do not close. One of the persistent problems we have covered in Xataka They are the air leaks in the Russian module Zvezda. Specifically, in a small transfer tunnel (called PRK) that connects the main module with an coupling port. The cracks were detected in 2019, but the air leak has been increasing since then, reaching its highest level in April 2024. Despite the years of joint research between NASA and its Russian counterpart, Roscosmos, there is still no clear solution, or consensus on the root cause of leaks. A meeting in Moscow. The Committee considers leaks one of the “most concern” points of the ISS, with a Risk level “5 of 5”the most serious of the classification, since August 2024. Williams said there is a meeting in Moscow this month to discuss new mitigation measures. For now, the space agencies have limited the repairy of the affected tunnel and keep the hatch that connects it with the rest of the station. Fear of unexpected fall. The current plan is that the International Space Station be withdrawn in 2030 or 2031. NASA has commissioned Spacex The development of a special ship (the USDV) to tow the station to the Pacific, where it will resent the atmosphere safely. The Security Committee indicates that there is no emergency plan to exorbit the ISS before that this vehicle is ready. “If the exorbitous international space station before Spacex delivers the USDV, the public risk for the disintegrated remains of the ISS will increase several orders of magnitude,” Williams said. Let’s not forget that we talk about a structure of about 450 tons. Other age aches. To these “main” concerns we must add the lack of spare parts. Keeping enough spare parts for critical systems, such as vital support, becomes increasingly complex, since some components are about 30 years old, and their original suppliers no longer exist. Similarly, space costumes for extravehicular activities, some designed in the 70s, are also giving problems. In June 2024, A refrigerant leak forced to cancel a space walk for fear of repeating the 2013 incident in which Astronaut Luca Parmitano almost drowned When his helmet began to fill with water. To these we must add the scares of the spacecraft that supply the station, such as the Boeing Starliner ship failure, the nauseabundo smell detected after the arrival of the MS-29 shipthe delays of the Dream Chaser of Sierra Space and the cancellation of the Mission Cygnus NG-22 of Northrop Grumman for the damages suffered during the transport of the ship. A matter of money. According to the ASAP panel, all these risks have a common denominator: “a great budget deficit.” Although experts did not detail the exact nature of the deficit, the data shows a slight reduction in the budget of operations and maintenance of the International Space Station (from 1,030 million dollars in 2023 to 993 million in 2024). Already in its 2024 annual report, the Committee had warned that the costs of the exorbitant vehicle (the USDV) and the financing of future commercial stations could exert pressure on NASA’s capacity to safely carry out the normal and contingency operations of the ISS. Elon Musk proposed as a solution exorbiting it early, in 2027. Image | POT In Xataka | “Did you say, from Irigoyen?”: When an Argentine taxi signal sneaked into the International Space Station

Your Android mobile will begin to restart only every three days if a condition is met. It’s excellent news

Google is deploying a new security function inherited from iOS. The source code I made believe that this characteristic would be exclusive to Android 16but now we know it will be universal. Your Android mobile will restart every three days, automatically, if it remains inactive during that period. A function that a priori may seem lower, but whose impact is much higher than it might seem. What will happen. The new notes of Google system versionrelated to the updates of Google Play services, refer to a new exclusive function for mobile phones. “(Telephone) With this function, your device will restart automatically if it remains blocked for 3 consecutive days.” The explanation cannot be easier: if you do not use your phone for 72h, that will restart automatically. It is something that It has been happening in iOS from version 18and that addresses a main reason. Why will it happen. That your Android will restart every three days if you do not use it is not a whim, it is a security measure. A newly restarted phone is a safer phone. ROMs as Grapheneos They restart the phone every 18h (even if we are using it), and is one of the most recommended practices to protect the mobile. The importance of restarting. Security reports point out that We should never have the mobile on 24/7. Restart the phone eliminates certain processes and data stored in memory. Some of these temporary data are precisely those used by attackers to exploit system vulnerabilities. Restarting the phone is not a magical solution, but one of the best ways to keep the mobile somewhat more protected. In addition, in the case of Android, it is something that can help your useful life. During the week we accumulate apps processes and processes that do not close, and restarting the phone everything returns to its initial state. The face b. It is more than likely to have a secondary mobile. A mobile of work, one that you use as GPS, or any telephone oriented to specific functions. Many of these phones are almost always lit and we may have not restarted months. If this is the case, make sure you know the unlock code and the PIN code of the SIM card, since in each restart you will be required. And if you forget the pinyou just have to use the Puk or contact your operator. If you forget the mobile unlock codeyou are in trouble.

Wallapop has been filled with Thermomix that cost 1,200 euros at half price (and almost all in perfect condition)

The new kitchen ally of Thermomix, The TM7 modelis now available for reservation in Spain. Is the successor of a Themomix TM6 that had been with us since 2019 and that I was already asking for renewal cycle. In addition to finding a home in the Spanish cuisine, the Thermomix has found another home: Wallapop. The sale platform is full of these devices and, although there is no unique reason, there are several suspects on the table of which we may not inform ourselves when buying a Thermomix. The Thermomix, Wallapop’s whim. 1259 euros. This is what it cost to buy a Thermomix TM6 in 2019. It is not an economic device, but it is a price that many are willing to pay to earn something that is even more than money: time. A look by Wallapop It lets us see many, many TM6. “It is sold due to lack of use” and “in perfect condition” is what is allowed to be seen. The average price is around 700 euros, just over half of what it cost in its day. Taking into account that the TM7 is priced at 1,549 euros, it is not a bad idea to get the previous model. As long as we know what we are buying, of course. The price does not end when you pay it. To the more than 1,000 euros that the device costs, we must add 60 euros of the payment subscription to Cookidoo. They are annual, but there are 60 euros. It is not mandatory and the Themomix works without it, but that easy access to recipes from the device’s own screen has this price can be an important deterrent. Its accessories are not forever. Like every kitchen apparatus, he suffers wear. Thermomix accessories They have to replace them with time, which adds new costs to the initial disbursement. Spatula, butterfly, glass base, blades, joints … The list of pieces that may need replacement Over time it is not small. Some of these pieces can be found on Amazon or Aliexpress for less than 10 euros, but prices on the official website are the following. Spatula: 16 euros Varoma tray: 15.90 euros Glass base: 16 euros Cestillo: 20 euros Knife game: 69 euros Together, between 3 and 9 euros It is a huge device. Practically we have ended a pot of excessive dimensions in the countertop. Thermomix, Airfryer, bread kneading … and the fate of many is oblivion in a drawer, or Wallapop. The Themomix has the peculiarity of being one of the kitchen devices that occupy the greatest volume. Specifically, 34.1 cm long, 32.6 cm wide and 36.6 deep. Vorwerk doesn’t care. Vorwerk’s numbers, a company after the Thermomix, They are quite healthy. The “culinary” division (Themomix/Bimby and Cookidoo) recorded record sales in 2023, entering 1.7 billion euros. While there is talk of a small fall in 2024, the group’s financial situation is solid and bullish. By 2025, the company wants to expand by international markets, relocating the current focus in Europe. Image | Vorwerk In Xataka | Best kitchen robots.

now imposes a difficult condition to back down

Elon Musk launched earlier this week An offer of 97.4 billion dollars for the non -profit organization that controls Openai. The unexpected acquisition proposal became a Potential problem For the plan set by Sam Altman to transform the startup commercial arm In a public benefit corporation (PBC)freeing it in addition to the control of the entity Nonprofit. Now, so that this restructuring can come true, Openai should have to compensate for the organization without profit. As we pointed out a few days agothe point is that it is not known how much the Nonprofitalthough Openai has pointed out in the past that as part of the process he would receive “PBC actions on a fair assessment determined by independent financial advisors.” Elon Musk’s movement and the value of the Nonprofit Bloomberg points out that Openai has been studying the organization without profit with a 25% participation of its commercial arm. Taking into account the valuation of 157,000 million dollars, the aforementioned percentage would result in some 40,000 million dollars. In other words, it is an amount of money much smaller than that offered by the group of investors led by Musk. Altman’s legal team It soon expose Musk’s movement before the Tax, and assured that the owner of X cannot try to buy the aforementioned organization when he is also trying to avoid by the judicial route OpenAi becomes a PBC. Recall that both entrepreneurs are wrapped in a judicial battle that has given many laps, but without a conclusion in sight. Musk’s lawyers, meanwhile, They have said that Your client will withdraw the acquisition offer if the Openai Board of Directors undertakes to “Preserve the mission of the beneficial and stipulate organization that the sign of ‘is sold’ of its assets stopping its conversion ”. This movement also exerts pressure on Altman, who probably did not expect to find himself in this situation. In New York Times they highlight Openai’s need to continue with the plan drawn. According to documents seen by the American newspaper, the conditions of its last financing round establish that the conversion must be completed within a shorter than two years. If it does not occur, the financing will become debt. Musk is also willing to increase its offer if there are equivalent proposals.
