Spain debuts in the World Cup with a match against Cape Verde. There is a remote town in Galicia where life is like a derby

by

At this point in the film it is very difficult to predict what will happen in the remainder of the term, if the peace agreement between Washington and Tehran will come to fruition or how the war in Ukraine will be settled. What is easy to predict is that this afternoon, starting at 6:00 p.m., a large part of Spain will be glued to the TV to follow La Roja’s World Cup debut against Cape Verde. There is, however, a small town in Galicia where this match will be experienced with special intensity: Burela. There, in fact, it is proposed almost like a derby. In a place in Lugo… It may not be the most famous nor the most populous municipality in Galicia, but Burela is exceptional in many ways. To begin with, it is a relatively young town. Although its history may trace back centuriesuntil the mid-1990s was part of the Cervo town hall. But above all, if something defines Burela, it is its multiculturalism. According to the Galician Institute of Statistics (IGE), almost 20% of its population was born abroad, in countries in America, Asia, the rest of Europe or Africa, which has a large representation with various nationalities. A “Galician-style” Cape Verde. Among this range of homelands there is one that stands out for its weight, history and mark on Burelense society: Cape Verde. The Country precise That in the census of foreigners there are almost 500, but if we take into account their descendants the figure is closer to a thousand people. Not bad for a population that does not reach 10,000 residents. For reference, in 2022 the INE had registered In Spain as a whole, 2,600 people of Cape Verdean nationality, of which almost 600 resided in Galicia. In net terms, it is the second largest community, only surpassed for Madrid. Some media they need that Burela is the municipality in Spain with the highest concentration of population with roots in Cape Verde, at least if we take into account its weight in the local census. This fact is explained by a very simple reason: the flow of Cape Verdean immigrants began there several decades ago. In fact, there are families living in Burela who are already the fourth generation. “They were among the first”. The link between Burela and the African archipelago is best understood by reviewing the story by Manuel Mendes Pereira, athlete and one of the many residents of Burela with family roots in Cape Verde. “My father, originally from Porto Mosquito, on the island of Santiago, came in 1978 to work in the construction of Alumina. He came through a brother of his who was already here. He liked the sea and ended up involved in fishing,” relates to Sport. “My mother arrived later, in 1989. They were one of the first. He always told me that Burela was practically nothing compared to what it is today.” Is it a unique case? No. Villablino, in the Laciana region of León, also maintains a strong bond with emigration of Cape Verdean origin. In the case of the Mariña of Lugo, the connection is explained by the industry and especially the fishing sector. In Villablino, the link, which can be traced back decades and decades agopart of the mining activity. This relationship extends to Bierzo, where in the 90s the Embassy had registered about 3,000 citizens from Cape Verde. Community members are called “capebertians”. And FIFA arrived. The World Cup has served to give new prominence to those ties woven in Burela or Bierzo, in which today they will experience with special intensity the Atlanta match in which will be measured you love selections The event will be special for both of them, who are making their debut in the World Cup and aspire for this tournament to occupy a prominent place in their chronicles. The Red comes as a favorite and dreams of adding a second star to its shield, the African team aspires to leave a mark in his first World Cup. “We are going a bit with a divided heart, but this time perhaps I am going more with Cape Verde,” admits Manuel Mendes. He won’t be the only one. In the Bierzo region there will be fans in a similar situation. Whatever happens, party. Although not even Burela is free of the signs of racism, what the Galician municipality aspires to today is to enjoy a day of party and celebration. Whatever happens, whether there are goals or not, whether one team or the other wins, one thing is certain: in the town of Mariña in Lugo there will be parties, music and dancing. The match will coincide with Cape to Cape Festivalpromoted by the Lugo Provincial Council and the City Council, among other organizers, and which will feature music by DJs and various groups, including Batuko Tabankaa set created ago more than two decades and formed by women of Cape Verdean origin.

Google is once again leading the AI ​​race and has something that no rival can match

by

Google has launched Gemini 3.1 Proan incremental update of its flagship model that comes loaded with surprises. And according to its benchmarks, the model has much more to say than it seems. In abstract reasoning, Google wants to start setting the pace on Anthropic and OpenAI. But their ace in the hole is not just that, because they have something that other startups cannot replicate: their entire ecosystem and how they are integrating AI into it. What just happened. Just three months after launching Gemini 3 ProGoogle has published Gemini 3.1 Pro. The curious thing is that the jump is much more impressive than it may seem if we only looked at that “.1” in front of it. According to the company, the new model significantly improves the reasoning of the previous one and represents the intelligence base that already fed the Gemini 3 Deep Think update, presented last week. It is available today in the Gemini app, in NotebookLM (for Pro and Ultra subscribers), in the API through AI Studio, and in enterprise environments through Vertex AI. Data. In the ARC-AGI-2 benchmark, designed to evaluate the ability to solve completely new logical patterns, without the possibility of having seen them during training, Gemini 3.1 Pro has achieved 77.1%. To put it in context: Gemini 3 Pro stayed at 31.1%, while Claude Sonnet 4.6 marked 58.3% and Opus 4.6 68.8%. That is, Google has not only closed the gap, but has gone over it. It should be noted that never before has a mid-term review of its models recorded such a pronounced advance in reasoning. What the numbers say in the rest of the benchmarks. In the comparative table that accompanies the advertisementGemini 3.1 Pro tops the majority of categories evaluated: it obtains the best result in Humanity’s Last Exam without tools (44.4%), it leads in GPQA Diamond with 94.3% in scientific knowledge, and it doubles the previous model in APEX-Agents, the benchmark for long-term tasks. It also excels in MCP Atlas (multistep workflows), BrowseComp (agent search) and MMMLU (multilingual question and answer). It should be noted that, according to these benchmarks, it is not better in everything: in GDPval-AA Elo, which evaluates tasks in real-world work environments, Claude Sonnet 4.6 surpasses Gemini 3.1 Pro with 1,633 points compared to 1,317. And in SWE-Bench Verified, the programming test with agents, Opus 4.6 scores 80.8% compared to Google’s 80.6%. However, in the global calculation, the balance clearly favors Google’s new model. In Arena Leaderboard (the classification based on user votes) still places Claude Opus 4.6 ahead in text and code, although here “the sensations” of each user take more prominence when it comes to rating, than anything else. A clear competitive advantage. The strongest argument in favor of Google does not even have to do with the power of its latest model. The company doesn’t need to convince you to use its AI: it’s already where you are. Search, Gmail, YouTube, Android, Docs, Drive, Google Photos, Maps… Its AI does not depend on you opening a specific application, but is integrated into the ecosystem that millions of people already use daily. For the rest of the startups (OpenAI, Anthropic…), they need you to use their models in specific environments (ChatGPT, Claude). Google is simply already there. It’s a moat that perhaps not even the best model in the world could sweep right now. And then there’s the price. Gemini 3.1 Pro comes to users with a subscription to Google AI Plus, Pro and Ultra, although you can also try it on a limited basis in the free plan. It should be noted that it is currently in a preliminary version. The narrative that Google wants us to have in our heads is that, for a modest price, you have access to that model, plus everything the company offers in its ecosystem, including storage. That, right now, is very difficult to overcome. Additionally, for developers, the API is also offered at a very competitive price. So, from a practical point of view and from the pocket, Google is giving everything so that all its users continue using its ecosystem, with or without the best AI. The “.1”. The AI ​​race has been at a frenetic pace for months. And the most interesting of all is that Google, which arrived late for the racehas had a hell of a year in which he has structured all the mess he had with his AI. The jump from Gemini 3 to 3.1 in reasoning is greater than what many rivals have achieved between full versions. And it has done so while maintaining the advantage of being the company that controls the most relevant entry points to the Internet. It remains to be seen how they solve monetizing your artificial intelligencebut they have certainly put in the work.

Space agencies do not match

by

The failed Soviet ship Kosmos 482, Designed to land in Venushas entered the earth’s atmosphere after 53 years giving tumbos around our planet. However, nobody knows where exactly has fallen. Context. As a twin of the famous Venera 8 capsule, Kosmos 482 was intended for Venus, but was caught in an elliptical orbit around the earth due to a rocket failure that in 1972 promoted it to space. Since then, atmospheric friction has gradually reduced its altitude, which has culminated today in its inevitable fall. Despite The reentry was an expected eventthe different space agencies and follow -up organisms handle varied predictions. According to Russia. The Russian Space Agency Roscosmos He published in Telegram that the Kosmos 482 probe had entered the dense layers of the atmosphere at 06:24 UTC on Saturday. He did it in the Indian Ocean, some 560 kilometers west from the island of Andamán del Medio. Or as some rushed to point out, west of The famous Northern Sentinel Islandthat of isolated indigenous people. According to Europe. For its part, the European Space Agency Space Waste Office Place the reentry between 06:04 UTC and 07:32 UTC. The ESA radars in Germany did not detect the probe after that time, so the reentry is confirmed, although no direct visual observations or ground impacts have been recorded. The central prediction of ESA points at 06:16 UTC, which would place the reentry south of Turkmenistan, on the border with Iran and Agfanistan. According to the United States. The United States space force published through its Space-Track system that the Kosmos 482 reentry had taken place between 05:20 and 05:44 UTC over the Pacific Ocean. This prediction not only It is not consistent With the ESA and Roscosmos reports, but it is invalidated by the detection of the ship over Germany at 06:04 UTC, according to ESA radar data. Where is the capsule. The Dutch Langbroek Satellites tracker It is “reasonably consistent” with its own modelwhich makes a difference of just 15 minutes. That fell into the Indian Ocean, relatively far from any populated area Already daylighthe explains that we have not seen visual material from the reentry. It could be floating. If the capsule survived the reentry, the surface of the Earth hit a speed of about 240 km/h, generating a kinetic energy comparable to that of a meteorite between 40 and 55 cm. The particular thing about this reentry is the robustness of the Kosmos 482 capsule, designed to survive accelerations of up to 300 g and pressures of 100 atmospheres in Venus. Not only is it plausible that you have survived. The space historian Pavel Shubin believes that, if he is intact, could be found floating In the ocean.

Eutelsat, the “European Starlink”, shot in the stock market. The reality is that no European company can match Starlink right now

by

The actions of the Franco-British satellite operator Etelsat shot earlier this week in the Paris Stock Exchange due to the possibility of replacing Starlink in the Ukraine War and In the context of the European rearme. There is no doubt that Europe will seek to recover its autonomy in space, but there is no company capable of replicating Starlink in the short or medium term. Eutelsat takes advantage of the geopolitical pulse. Between Monday and Wednesday, the Eutelsat titles came to quintupply their value, adding 1,000 million euros to the stock market capitalization, which came from historical minimums and had even been degraded to “garbage bonus” by Moody’sdue to the slow performance of OneWeb and high investment needs. The sudden interest, mainly promoted by retail investors and positions in short, dates back to February 28, when a heated public dispute between Volodimir Zelenski and Donald Trump led the United States to pause military aid to kyiv, with cutting threats Starlink satellite Internet service if Ukraine did not granted access to their minerals. While European governments were looking for an alternative, Eutelsat’s executive director said They would need “months, no years” To provide Ukraine as many satellites as Starlink, which ended up firing the company’s action (over the days, Relajusted down). However, reality is always more complex than a headline. How Starlink became vital for Ukraine. When Russia left conventional satellite networks out of service (VIASAT, Iridium, Immarsat…), Starlink gave a crucial advantage to Ukraine. The company directed by Elon Musk not only had the capacity to send more terminals and antennas to the front, but was more resistant to cyber attacks and electronic interference, The famous “Jamming”. The explanation is that Starlink is a constellation of thousands of satellites in low orbit that turn the earth every 90 minutes, so different satellites are going through the sky to serve a certain area. Russian cyberbrains and Jamming were more effective with companies that have geostationary satellites and remain fixed at 36,000 km altitude. Oneweb, the European alternative to Starlink. Since Ooneweb acquired, Eutelsat controls approximately 630 satellites in low orbitbacked by 35 geostationary satellites. It is the only operational global constellation beyond Starlink, although China has begun to also display yours. Unlike Starlink, whose main business is final consumers, Oneweb It has focused on military, governmental, maritime, aviation, industrial, logistics and operators. The reason is the enormous scale difference: Spacex has a 10 -time density of satellites, which allows you to serve more simultaneous users with Starlink. Everything is reduced to rockets. Europe just recover your autonomous access to space With the definitive entry of the Vega-C rockets and Ariane 6. But these pitchers are not reusable: each mission requires a new one, which prevents its use to display large satellite constellations. Not only would it be profitable: it would be logistically impossible, since the rockets in low orbit They have to be spare parts every few years. On the other hand, the Falcon 9 of Spacex is partially reusable. The company routinely recovers the propeller and halves of the Cofia, and thanks to that competitive advantage can launch two Starlink missions every week. In total, Spacex has launched more than 8,000 Starlink satellites, of which more than 7,000 are still in orbit. Falcon 9 is also One of the rockets that have put in orbit the satellites of Oneweb/Eutelsat. This situation is not going to be resolved until the European private industry, with ESA investments, has its first reusable rockets ready. The best positioned company is the French Arianegroup, which for decades has had the Duopoolio de launchers from Europe next to the Italian Avio. But its subsidiary Maiaspace is developing a relatively small rocket: Maia, with the capacity to put between 500 and 2,500 kg in Heliosíncrona orbit. In that range will compete with Miura 5 From the Spanish PLD Space. Image | Oneweb In Xataka | It is not that Elon Musk has managed to introduce its influence on NASA.

This is how climate change is making Valencia a match in the middle of a sea in flames

by

January has the days counted and the Valencian thermometers seem to be in the wrong month. In more than a century and a half of data, a temperature had never been recorded above 26.6 degrees In the city of Turia. Well, yesterday Aemet devices They reached 27.1. AND It is not an isolated fact: We can travel the entire community jumping from weather station to weather station and a surprising amount of them would be for 25 degrees. In Chelva, a couple of days ago, The 30 were touched. But is this weird? The truth is that. Normal, according to the historical series, is that temperatures They should range between 10 degrees during the nights and 16 during the day. Overcoming the 25 is nothing that can be classified as “normal.” But it cannot be said that it is just a meteorological curiosity, it is a much greater problem than only now we begin to understand. What is happening in that Mediterranean area? The seasonal forecasts of Aemet They already drew A warmer winter than normal. I should not miss anyone: 73% of the 2024 days had an average temperature higher than the historical average of reference (and, As they point from the agencythat “the average is already a warm period”). Cold peaks, on the other hand, are increasingly rare. It is almost unimaginable that the Valencian garden suffer a cold wave Like 1956 or January 1891. In the latter, Castellón spent days to -10 degrees and the people of Grau could see one “immense ice belt on the banks of the Mediterranean“ That, today, is science fiction. The world, little by little, has been heating. So it has to do with climate change? In general, attributing weather events to climate change is complicated. Because, deep down, we always talk about probabilities and, although probabilities are never zero, As Aemet explains“In a stable climate it is very likely that these warm days would not have produced.” That’s where climate change enters. And, “due to the form that this data is adjusted to a normal distribution, the increase of 1.5 ° C of the average temperature gives rise to the fact that values ​​before rare or impossible, Now they are probable“ What consequences does all this have? Halfway between the causes and the consequences are The very high temperatures that the sea has. Much higher temperatures than we could imagine just a decade ago and than They have experts intrigued. To all purposes, the Mediterranean is becoming a gigantic battery of energy that “Try the strength of atmospheric phenomena“. It is inevitable to think about THE GREAT DANA OF 2024but The impact Of these new scenarios it goes much further. Does this mean that complicated moments come? Means, above all, that socioclimatic balance in which we were installed it is changing very fast and we do not know for sure where it is directed. That complicates the forecast and hinders management, but emphasizes the need to be prepared. A task in which, as the Dana showed us, everything remains to be done.
