pending

While all Spain is pending that their children learn English, in the Canary Islands they have another obsession: the German

by

The Canarian ties with Germany are strong. And they come from afar. They date back (at least) at the end of the 19th century And they have been reinforcing thanks to the Expats and the Huge weight which has the German market in the Canarian tourism sector, capital piece in the economy of the region. This link explains that in its classrooms it is studied more German than anywhere else in Spain and Parents committed in which their children learn at the same time the languages ​​of Cervantes and Goethe. It is the ‘Germanization’ of Canarian education. What happened? That Canary Islands show signs that little by little in a key area is being germanized: early childhood education. At least if we compare it with the rest of Spain. German influence on the archipelago (and more in zones With a strong foreign presence) it is nothing new, but there are indicators that help to better understand what extent they are pending in their classrooms and homes. The last one left it a few months ago The confidential in A report which shows how parents are betting on their children speak of Goethe’s tongue (almost) from the cradle or even cases of children who chapurre them before the Spanish. Are there figures to try it? Yes. Those of the Ministry of Education, which reflect how the teaching of German stands out in the archipelago against other regions of Spain. Although Canary Islands is one of the communities Less populated of the country is the one that has the most students studying German in the classrooms. At least in the 2020-2021 course They added 31,300considerably above the Community of Madrid (28,300), Catalonia (24,600), Andalusia (18,100) or Balearic Islands (13,800), two regions in which there is also a strong presence of tourists and Expats. And who studies it? That is the most interesting. The language is not only learned by young people who study ESO or university students. In the archipelago he has also penetrated among the youngest children. The 2020-2021 course there was almost 500 students Studying German in the Early Childhood Education stage, data that exceed only Catalonia and Andalusia, with much greater population. If we talk about Primary the figure, the largest registration in the country is triggered. In general the learning of German It is less extended than that of English or French, but still reaches a notable weight in the Canary classrooms. The region stands out For how extended the study of the second languages ​​is. What is the reason? There are several factors that explain that clear Germanization, but two stand out above the rest: the first are the Historical ties Between the Canary Islands and Germany, which date back to 19th century And they explain that there is a German school in Las Palmas de Gran Canaria and another in Santa Cruz de Tenerife. According to the Canarian Institute of Statistics (Istac), the Germans are one of the main foreign population groups in the region, although they are significantly below nationalities such as the Colombian, Venezuelan or English. The second factor is tourism. The sector has A crucial weight In the GDP of the region, where it generates thousands of millions of euros every year. And much of that flow of money comes out of German pockets, such as I recognized Recently the Canary Islands government itself, taking stock of the 2024 campaign. statistics From Exeltur they show that in 2024 the German was The second market International most relevant to the tourism sector of the region. Only the British is overcome. What supposes that in practice? That speaking German becomes a key tool, both in the Canary Islands (work or not in tourism) and when looking for a job in the rest of the country or the EU. “Everything that is science and engineering is very enhanced in German, but nothing happens if the girl later chooses to be a hairdresser and not continue studying. I try to give her best for her future,” Explain to The confidential A Canarian mother who pays 600 euros per month (activities included) so that her daughter is formed at the German school. “I know people who have studied in this school and thanks to that they work or live outside.” Is it important? There are those who believe it. “Learning this language here is a priority for two reasons. First because it gives you the possibility of leaving the islands to, for example, exercising as an engineer or sanitary in other places. It is also essential to work in the southern area of ​​the island (Gran Canaria), where tourism is concentrated and people are always needed to deal with Germans,” Marta García reflectshistorian of the University of Las Palmas de Gran Canaria. “Here is key to accessing certain positions and ascending.” That influence explains that there are also adults who throw themselves to study the language to prosper, that the Canarian government has reinforced your bet For the linguistic immersion scholarships to study in Germany (and Ireland) or that there are even cases of children who begin to Chapurrean German before Spanish. Although it is not a generalized trend, a few months ago The confidential He reviewed A specific case, that of a four -year -old girl who entered the German school in Santa Cruz de Tenerife without speaking at all Spanish and surprised her parents by expressing themselves first in German. “I had a delay in language and I worried when I saw her speaking first German. I thought I was wrong and went to see the pediatrician, but luckily she started speaking Spanish last year.” Images | Norbert Braun (UNSPLASH), Guillaume Didelet (UNSPLASH) Via | The confidential In Xataka | For the first time in ten years, La Palma has shown the best creatures of its parties: the disturbing dwarfs that dance Polca

Toledo promised them very happy putting music at their festivities. Until the SGAE arrived with pending invoices

by

Who does not like a good verbena with his musicite and his dances. In Toledotodos the years celebrate the August Fair, the Corpus and other events and in all, of course, they put music. The problem is that between 2017 and 2021 the invoices were not paid to the General Society of Authors and Editors. Now they will have to pay more than 143,000 euros. Imposses. The Commercial Court No. 1 has issued a sentence and condemns the City Council of Toledo to pay the invoices not paid to the SGAE, which amount to 143,513.92 euros, plus 30,000 euros of coasts of the trial, as reported in Europa Press. Unpaid invoices correspond to the period between 2017 and 2021. Disproportionate. According to the City Council, the rates of these invoices were “arbitrary and disproportionate”, which is why they were not paid at the time. In addition, in the case of the Lux Toledo event they alleged that it was the company Actiona who should pay the copyright. In the case of this event, the judge cites in the sentence that if the company does not pay it, “the City Council would assume it subsidiaryly.” The City Council has already approved a credit modification to deal with payment. There have been more cases. Toledo’s is not the only case of a town hall to which the SGAE takes to court for non -payment. In September last year, Vigo had to pay more than half a million euros for not paying bills between 2018 and 2023. The list continues: Miranda del Ebro, Zalamea de la Serena, OBEJUNA SOURCE… Confusion. There are few municipalities that have left SGAE invoices without paying, it seems that they have agreed, but sometimes it is the result of ignorance. According to him Orb and Associated Lawyers Officewhen a City Council hires a band, it often occurs that “he has been hired as an interpreter, as a musician performer of his own repertoire and that the SGAE does not have the exclusive management of those works.” In addition, there is a lot of confusion around Who should pay when a public event is held. For example, although the City Council only gives the space and is a promoter who organizes the concert, corresponds to the City Council to pay the payment to the SGAE. Bad communication. There have also been cases such as Medina del Campo where the fault was the lack of communication. The SGAE did not communicate that they had to pay anything until 2007, when there were already 76,000 euros. Something similar happened in Miranda del Ebro When in 2018 the SGAE sent the invoices corresponding to 2014. Image | Pexels In Xataka | A town in Toledo has tired of the squatters.

While Spain was pending the rains, something strange was happening with the polar vortex

by

The meteorology of the month of March has been marked by the wave of storms that have left intense rains throughout the Iberian Peninsula. While many monitored attentive to the possibility that the channels overflow in their surroundings, in the high layers of the atmosphere there was an important phenomenon, the disruption of the polar vortex. New animation. NOAA (National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration), The agency responsible for analyzing weather and weather in the United States, has shown us the disruption of the polar vortex occurred during last March. He has done it through a new animation in which the drastic changes can be seen The polar vortex. First of all, remember that Polar vortex It is an intense atmospheric current that transports cold air around the pole at stratosphere. In winter, the polar circle stops receiving sunlight so the air at the height of the stratosphere cools. In contrast, the warm air of sub -reliable areas continues to be tempered at these altitudes, which leads to expand north. The terrestrial rotation makes this pressure a powerful current of air that surrounds the pole in winter. Although the current is always active, it suffers important changes throughout the year. The first change is in intensity: it is during the winter months that the winds of this current reach greater force, reaching its middle peak towards the beginning of January. The second change is in the direction. Due to the inclination of the earth’s axis, approximately between spring and autumn, the current moves away from the pole to the torque that loses intensity because the sun enlightens the pole again, heating his stratosphere and reducing the contrast with lower latitudes. This implies that high latitudes the current stops moving from west to this but does it from this to west. When the vortex breaks. However, the current can suffer a sudden change, a disruption. These cases are usually due to sudden stratospheric warming in the pole. This “pushes” the current out. This is what happenedexplains the NOAA, last March 9: rapid stratospheric warming generated a disruption of the current that has led her to circulate in reverse and intense in high latitudes. Return to normal. If a disruption occurs during winter, it is common for the vortex to return to its usual circulation after one of these disruptions. If this disruption occurs during spring, it is likely that the circulation will pass to its summer shape, outside the pole. It can be expected, due to the dates, that the evolution of the vortex now takes it back to the average. Last year We saw a vortex disruption that reversed the dominant direction of the wind in early March, however the vortex recovered its direction and intensity of these dates before reversing its spring channel. Graph in which the speed and direction of the stratospheric wind is illustrated in the 60ºN latitude. The fine blue line marks the average evolution in the 1991-2020 period; while the thickness marks the evolution between 2024 and 2025. The shadow represents the variability observed and the pink forecasts. Laura Ciasto/NOA “Like an atmospheric diva. ” This year the models indicate that this will not be the case, which implies that we are facing the change in earlier in the records since 1958. This concludes the “season” of activity of the polar vortex, a season marked by a high intensity circulation and important volatility. A closure that has lived up to the season, according to NOAA. “For a good part of this winter season, the polar vortex has been strong, stretched, and not very interested in interacting with the troposphere. But like a real atmospheric diva, the polar vortex had a last ace in the sleeve, disintegrate in a spectacular way and bring with him some cold air,” NOAA itself explains in a piece in his blog dedicated to the polar vortex. And then what? In the result of all this is that the circulation of the vortex is now maintained in northern Europe and that can reach affect weather of the continent. How this arrival will depend on factors such as the interaction between this mass of air and the troposphere or what low latitudes could reach circulation in that month of April.

The Government finally approves the great advance pending in our identification

by

The expected digitalization of the National Identity Document (DNI) has taken a key step today. This Tuesday, the Council of Ministers has approved The regulation that establishes the basis for the implementation of this document in digital format. Thus, full validity is granted to the document in digital formatprovided that the holder carries it through the official application ‘Midni’. It is not a complete substitution of the physical ID, but the digital version will act as a virtual replica that will identify us before the authorities. The digital ID. The Interior Ministry, in collaboration with the National Police, has detailed how the application ‘Mi DNI’ will work. This will allow access to our National Identity Document and be accredited to public and private entities. “With the DNI on the mobile, identity identity can be accredited in person, but for the moment it will not be used to do so through the Internet, to use it as an electronic travel document for border step, to prove identity in other countries or make telematic efforts of authentication and/or electronic signature.” Home Office. This digital ID will serve any public or private registration process, acting with the same legal validity of the physical document. The digital ID will carry an QR code incorporated, similar to what we already saw with the digitally legalized driving license in the Midgt app. How exactly does it work? Through the ‘MIDNI’ application, the user will be requesting their identity data from the National Police so that they can be requested by third parties. The QR, which will have limited validity (will only be valid for a few minutes), will be signed and sealed by said police force. What can I do with Midni. The Interior Ministry itself indicates that the digital DNI will act the same as the physicist, allowing identity accreditation in the face of face -to -face procedures, establishing any type of legal relationship, writing signature, opening of bank accounts, realization of commercial transactions and, in the future (2026) telematic efforts. In other words, the legality of the digital ID is the same as the physical ID, and it is expected that by 2026 it will be possible to perform all kinds of procedures, both face -to -face and online, with it. Midni app interface. Downloading the app. The app will be available on both Google Play Store and App Store. How do they point in Xataka Mobileit is crucial to look well in the name and developer. Since 2024 there is an application called ‘My DNI’ without any legal validity and developed by the American International Eidas LLC. The original app is ‘Midni’, without spaces in its name. This is the only valid application to the administration, and the only one in which we can introduce our ID with security guarantees. It will be available from tomorrow Wednesday at 8:00 a.m. in the two large apps. We will update this piece as soon as they are ready for download. Deployment and registration of the digital ID. It will not be enough to download an application and enter our data. For the digital ID registration, it will be necessary to have electronic ID and digital certificate in force, in addition to access to a card reader. In case of not having one, we can carry out the procedure in any nearby police station. The process will be carried out through The website enabled for this purpose. A curious fact is that users can choose what data they appear after showing the QR, with three options available. DNI + Age: It will show photography, name and majority. Simple ID: will show photography, name, surname, sex and validity of DNI. Complete DNI: All elements of the ID The margin time is set in a period of twelve months so that private administrations and entities adopt the necessary measures for their proper functioning. During this period, its acceptance will not be mandatory, a point to take into account in this moment of transition.
