This is being destroyed one of the crown jewels of Spanish gastronomy

by

Until the middle of the twentieth century, the most consumed banana variety in the world was The Gros Michel. There was a huge international market around this variety and the future seemed prosperous to all: farmers, merchants and consumers. In the 50s everything changed. The Panama disease He began to devastate Gros Michel plantations and, although the producers engaged in a race against the fungus, took less than a decade to end them around the world. Today, it is almost impossible to find on a commercial level. Well, that is just what is happening to the bomb rice. The fall of the ‘King of rice gastronomy’. And as with the Gross Michel, the cause of this debacle is perfectly located: the pyricularosis fungus. This plague has a wide pathogenic variety; But, in general terms, Inhibits rice tissues growth And the performance has sink. It also makes it very fast. The problem is that, little by little, it is becoming resistant to the available fungicides and the pump rice is much more sensitive than other varieties. The trigger. It is not innocent that, when he described the problem of resistances to fungicides, he added the word “available.” The trigger for this situation has been that European regulations The maximum waste limits have dropped of the only useful pesticide – Triciclazole – until it is unusable. In fact, Brussels Does not let cultivated rice import With that pesticide. And what happened? Well, what as Vicente Lladró explained in summerthe fungus “Campa at ease in the fields and reduces productions to non -profitable minimums.” That has led to the harvest to historical minimums, has triggered prices (up to 8 or 10 euros per kilo) and has raised fixed costs. In summary, the situation is diverting producers to other varieties that better tolerate the effects of the disease. We have Arrived at the point that “In many cases there is already a lack of quality grain to prepare future plantings.” Is the problem so big? Compared to 7-8,000 kilos of conventional round rice that produces one hectare in the Albufera Parkthe previous campaign the pump gave a yield of 1,000. As much as prices rise, profitability seems impossible. A dead end. Because the background problem is that the pump rice is something that is only grown in Spain and if the variety becomes unfeasible, it will become a museum piece. In fact, many producers They are already going to the Albufera variety What happens to be the most similar to the pump within which the disease resists better. But despite the protests of the farmers, the regulation is still alive (and it is not clear that it will be changed). This shows us another of the big problems that the Spanish field will go through in the coming years. Because we are seeing How inumerable “new” diseases arrive at the Peninsula And that also includes those that affect the plants we grow. And what do we do? Preparing for this, while the sanitary requirements of the food chain increase, is one of the great challenges of our century. Even more in an environment like the European, in which One of the main tools (the genetic edition) It is also blocked. However, in the next decades we play a good part of our agricultural heritage in something as apparently simple as learning to keep it in the new world towards which we head.

A Spanish startup has found a way to put solar panels in less than three hours: with a container

by

Installing and disassembling a solar panel seems arduous work that requires a lot of time, and in part it is so. However, a Spanish startup has arrived to reduce that time in less than three hours. Short. The photovoltaic solar generator company Nomad Solar Energy has launched A set of photovoltaic solar panels connected inside a container, which can be easily deployed with folding support and wheels that fit the ground. Thanks to its assembly “Plug & Play”, This system can be installed in any environment and, in case of extreme climatic conditions, protect within a container. The product, known as Nomad Energy Box, has achieved 15 million euros of Tilt Capital Partners financing for its international expansion and the development of new products. Location. The set of solar panels, which unfolds like an accordion, It has been designed to be versatile and functional in a wide variety of environments. Its ability to deploy quickly makes it ideal for emergency situations or areas with limited access to electrical infrastructure. So it can be installed in humanitarian, military, construction, remote camps, islands out of network or mining sites. In addition, its robust design and easy transport make it an attractive option for regions with extreme climatic conditions or complicated terrain. Available in two versions. Nomad Energy Box is available at 42.78 KWP and 106.72 kWP, both with High Efficiency Solar Panels and Huawei investors. In addition, they have CSC certification (Container Safety Convention) to guarantee the quality and safety of the container, ensuring their resistance to transport and storage in extreme conditions. Within the system there are three types of models. The first is the network connection, the standard installation that requires the investor to be always connected to the network. Then, the batteries that complement the system with energy storage for later consumption during the night or on cloudy days. Finally, the Total Island mode, that is, without connection to the network that allows the interconnection of several units to increase the available power. Not to stretch. Solar panels are progressing towards new forms, integrating into everyday objects like jackets, umbrellas or even Parasols for cars. There are also portable photovoltaic cells that you can carry with you for its size. For its part, a new study in Japan has achieved that a photovoltaic cell can be extended without cracking, as well as An investigation in Australia where we can see solar panel candles. The opening of the possibilities of solar energy in different environments is only the beginning of a constant technology.

We already knew that Spanish wine was on its way to collapse. What we didn’t know was that drought was going to accelerate it so much

by

At this point of 2025, say that Spanish wine is on its way to disaster It cannot surprise Nobody. However, it is inevitable that, reading phrases like that, let’s think it is exaggerating. Soon we examine the data, we see that the coup can become huge. Two news that is better understood together. The first is from July 25, 2024: The earliest harvest Within Jerez’s framework since there are historical records. That is to say, For more than 130 years. As the winemakers themselves said, They saw that “In July the grape was already at its optimal point (the 10.5º Baumé demanded) and that if we expected more I was going to lose weight and deteriorate.” The second news is a couple of months later: the production of wine from the United Kingdom has doubled in a very short time and, in fact, the surface planted with vines has increased 75% in the last five years. This is very rare in a place where (despite have vineyards from Roman times and produce commercially since the 60s) the vines have never been good for cold and bad weather. Both news are the beam and the underside of a huge problem: the huge impact that climate change in the main wine regions of Europe has. And, especially, in Spain. A global problem that affects us especially. Traditionally, there are two planetary areas indicated for the cultivation of the vine: the one between the 30th and 50th parallels of the northern hemisphere and that located between the 30th and 40th in the south. The problem is that, like The National Institute for Agronomic Research predicted In France, around 2100 those areas will be completely blurred with the double “very warm” days of the historical average. According to a study published in Nature Reviews Earth & Environment In March 2024up to 70% of the current wine -producing regions could face a substantial risk to lose their suitability for viticulture. In that drawer we are. In Spain, as defends happiness in Herralde, researcher at the Institute for Agrifood Research and Technology of Catalonia, towards the end of the century “the water deficit could reach 200 liters per square meter.” That is, in many wine areas “half of the rainwater that is now available in a year may be missing.” Things are changing. “I have gone from harvesting to do it in a short sleeve and always looking at the sky. My father does not remember in all his youth or a hail storm and now they come to us in September shattering the harvest and even in spring, sweeping that of that year And the next one, because it takes all the yolks “, explained in Rioja2 Berta Valgañónfarmer and producer of the denomination of qualified origin Rioja. And when we say that “time is crazy” we are not entirely aware of what it implies. As Olivia García pointed out “In winter it does not snow, (…) in February it is hot and the plants begin to sprout before but the risk of frosts extends to May (…). In spring it hardly rains and summer is totally dry.” The result is that, when “the harvest arrives so hot that the level of sugar and acidity becomes totally unbalanced.” It is not uncommon. “In a reference period from 1972 to 2005 we have found that, for example, in the Penedès region the increase in average annual temperatures has already reached two and a half degrees,” explained of Herralde in the country. Estimates are terrifying. At the end of 2022, the Reading University published a report where it was concluded that “a fifth of the United Kingdom could have adequate climatic conditions to cultivate Chardonnay grapes in 2050”. But instead, “according to A study conducted over 15 years In vineyards from different areas of the world, 90% of current cultivation areas will not be suitable within a few years. “ To this we must add the problem of water. Not only is water missing at very important specific moments, but As Jordi Pastor defendedmost winemakers already grow with an amount of water lower than optimal. As with the olive tree, the agricultural strategy is to migrate production towards irrigation and, in fact, while 20 years ago the percentages of irrigated vine Today I already touched 50%. And yet, the situation is very complicated … With the available data of the denominations of Catalan origin, we can say that sprouting and flowering are being advanced around 11 days compared to half a century ago. But in addition, “the main cycles of the vineyard (sprouting, flowering, curd, envre and harvest) are faster, those phases are shorter.” Is What we saw too Within the framework of Jerez and In the rest of wine areas from Spain, Greece, Italy or southern California. France, much less affected, too He has seen him The ears to the wolf. … that goes beyond the future. This April, Freixenet presented an ERTE for 615 workers for drought. As they explainedit was an “exercise of responsibility” to “guarantee the operability of the business” in the face of grapes due to the lack of rain. Regardless of the details of that specific case, the truth is that the labor, financial and industrial ramifications The problem is here. And he will not go anywhere. How do we do the wine? “Spain will be a little suitable place to make wine, which means that wine production will not become impossible, but it will be increasingly difficult according to the degree of global warming,” defended Sébastien Zitoresearcher at the Institute of Vineyard Sciences and Burgundy Wine. He is right. Therefore, the world of wine Work already in a hurry for looking for solutions. And the truth is that the struggle to maintain profitability is not the only problem. After all, this environmental pressure also attacks the personality itself of the wines. Can Spanish wines survive while being themselves on the way?

The NFC takes its first big step in Spanish football. Atlético has adopted it to access its stadium

by

Atlético de Madrid has just become the first LaLiga club to implement technology NFC To access the stadium. It is good news that in turn uncovers the delay that this technology has had in Spanish football, who has opted much more for the codes QR as an alternative to entries and physical fertilizers. Why is it important. The NFC has been demonstrating more than a decade to be an efficient and safe system in payments and accesses, but Spanish football has remained anchored to the QRs, which have their advantages but slow down the process. The context. Asia or the United States normalized the NFC for a long time for all types of transactions, including access to enclosures and events. In Europe, and especially in Spain, we have maintained a certain resistance to adopt it. The NFC surpasses QR in three fundamental aspects: Speed: Transmission is immediate, without the need for focus or scan. Security: requires physical proximity and a biometric or PIN validation prior to the device. Reliability: It works in low luminosity conditions and does not depend on the brightness of the screen or the print quality. Between the lines. This Atletico movement tells us about the change in Spanish football mentality: technology is no longer just something to use in the field or in the locker room, nor a simple marketing tool: it is an element with which to improve the experience of the fan. The Atlético, in fact, is the first LaLiga club that has all the input and fertilizer formats: physical and digital card with QR, physical entrance or in PDF for mobile, and Wallet both of the fertilizer and the entrance.

There is a challenge to run seven marathons in seven days worldwide. And a Spanish with eight children is sweeping

by

In the world of sport there are demanding challenges, difficult, difficult, extreme challenges and then delusional challenges and within reach of physicists (and minds) with a iron resistance, such as the one he has decided to assume Estefanía Unzu Ripollbetter known in networks such as ‘Verdeliss’. Of 39 years and mother Outcutuplethis pamplonesa has proposed to end Seven marathons. The surprising thing is how you want to do it: the seven 42 -kilometer races are held in consecutive days… and in different parts of the planet. It has already begun. And he is not going wrong. Figure issue. Yes, the numbers are correct. All. Verdels is 39 years old, eight children and is embarked on the challenge of completing seven marathons that are held over seven days in seven different places on the planet. And by different we do not refer to small borders. No. The races that have already completed were held in Antarctica, Africa, Australia and Asia. The idea is to continue with Europe, South and North America. And all this, we repeat, in a period of Only 168 hours. Why’s that? There are several answers. If the question is why completing seven marathons in those seven places for seven days, the answer is simple: they are part of an international challenge that has already Some years celebrating, the World Marathon Challenge. The test has a limited number of squares and this year is celebrated over 168 hours in Antarctica, Cape (Africa), Perth (Australia), Dubai (United Arab Emirates), Madrid (Spain), Fortaleza (Brazil ) and Miami (United States). When they ask Verdeliss why he has decided to submit to such a test (and of course, it is something that They have asked him During the last weeks) she replies that he seeks to “live life intensely” and enjoy without the fears limited. Your participation It also has a solidarity component. As I explained recently At 20 minutes, he wants to raise funds for the investigation of a rare disease, the Menke-Hennekam syndrome. Verdeliss herself is in contact with Claudia’s mothera girl who suffers from it. Hard test, good results. The challenge is still underway and he has several days left to finish, but for the moment the Navarra is doing well. Quite wellin fact. In Antarctica he crossed the goal after 3 hours, 38 minutes and 53 secondsin Cabo del Cabo he did it in 3 hours, 10 minutes and 14 secondsIn Australia he toured almost 42 kilometers in 3 hours, 10 minutes and 30 seconds And in Arab Emirates completed the challenge in 3 hours, 9 minutes and 46 seconds. With such brands the Spanish has not only managed to finish all the races, but even becoming the first woman to reach the finish line or even getting the men who compete in the test. Ahead they have three races: that of Madrid, which is celebrated today, and that of Brazil and Miami, which it will face throughout Wednesday and Thursday to complete the circuit. “I have carbonized skin”. That meets its objectives does not mean that the extreme challenge is not taking its toll to the Navarra athlete. In his Instagram profile he has been recounting for example how he has encountered stomach problemssome difficulties To rest aboard the “military” plane in which they travel between continents, Discomfort in the quadriceps and also some other unforeseen. “My only discomfort is that I have charred skin … the rush is not good advisors and I forgot to apply the sunscreen,” I wrote From Cape City. Although Verdeliss has been running and has already achieved some notable feat, such as becoming Champion of Spain 100 km, in January I recognized to The country that the new challenge would force her to face the unknown. “I have run 27 marathons in 24 months, but this time one of them is extremely cold in Antarctica. I have never experienced such low temperatures, or running with some nails in the shoes.” Beyond the seven marathons. The challenge of the seven marathons in seven days has given him even more visibility, but the truth is that Verdeliss has been used to be under the spotlights. On Instagram, where he shows his facet as a athlete and mother of eight children he adds around one and a half of followers and on YouTube it has 2.1 million of subscribers. Also He has participated In ‘Big Brother Vip’ and ha called attention of the press for his sports successes. Professional, in addition to their work in networks acts as CEO of a cosmetics firm.

There are Spanish studies of authentic guerrillas programming games for nes: ‘Malasombra’ is the last example

by

5 years of development has invested the 4MHz study in developing ‘Malasombra’, an ambitious video game developed entirely for the legendary Nes of Nintendo. With the date of departure scheduled in the second quarter of the year, the game is already beginning to perform in places such as the IBI Vintage Museum, in Alicante, on February 15. A fantasy in 8 bits. ‘Malasombra ‘moves us to a fantasy world with an argument that is pure Lore eighties: Pirou is an aspiring magician who sees how the evil bad sorcerer snatches his beloved on the same day of his wedding and makes all guests in toad. You will have to gather the pages of a powerful grimoire that will allow you to acquire skills through transmutations to defeat the villain. 4MHz, devotees of the eighties. Behind Malasombra is this study specialized in the development of 8 -bit video games, which usually accompany physical editions in the original formats. So far they have specialized in titles for Amstrad CPC as ‘Goodbye to the caste’ and its sequel, ‘The Lost Treasury of Cuauhtémoc’, ‘Profanation 2’, ‘Baba’s Palace’ and ‘Operation Alexandra’, an excellent Survival Horror With touches of Metridvania set in an abandoned Nazi base, and that deserved international fame. {“Videid”: “x9d9p5w”, “Autoplay”: True, “Title”: “Malasombra – Trailer”, “Tag”: “”, “Duration”: “90”} Origins in the microororders. The first steps of ‘Malasombra’ are given, significantly, in Amstrad CPC, like the rest of the studio games. But the project was soon growing in ambition, to the point that in October 2018 they began to do graphic and programming tests to pass it to NES and thus have more technical slack. It was the first time they tried on this new platform, but the results were positive and launched into the Nintendo console. Relear to program. The biggest challenge for the team, as they count, has been to adapt their knowledge to the programming for NES, an environment to which they were not used. On a technical level, the game has demanded to develop a new C and assembly engine, on the Nesdoug’s neslib base. They have also created specific tools of the game to improve performance, which explains that development has prolonged so many years. In Xataka The most unexpected testament has been Gamer: a grandmother left a game of Game Boy and 26 copies of the same game The complete pack. Developing a cartridge adapted to the needs of the game has not been easy, so it counts 4MHz, and they have had to create a support with two specific properties. On the one hand, store games without the need for a pile fed WRAM memory, which does not have to worry about the battery; on the other, a system that replaces the specific chips of Mappers Classics, which guarantees the compatibility of ‘malasombra’ with modern emulators.

Half of all the frozen semen produced by Spanish men comes out in a single city: Granada

by

Neither Madrid, nor Barcelona; Neither Valencia, nor Seville: the place in Spain where more semen is donated the most It is Granada. And it is by far margin: of the 56,700 donations of male gametes between 2018 and 2023, 23,096 were made in this province. Practically half. Is something that was already knownbut Ana Requena It has just updated the data And it’s really surprising. Because if the question is “What is happening in that city?” The answer is not only curious … it is very interesting. Granada, national semen champion. It is true that obtaining reliable data is complicated. Above all, because (although clinics and hospitals are obliged to turn their data in assisted human reproduction information system) we have not managed to have a centralized record. However, in this case the reliability is the least: we talk about such a brutal difference that we can give it for good. Granada is the queen of the semen of Spain and is something completely recognized in the sector. But … why? The person responsible for this has names and surnames: Ceifer Biobanco, a private semen bank that was founded in the city almost 30 years ago and is a national reference. In fact, he works with about 500 reproductive centers in the country. That is key. Because, as explained at Eldiario.es Juan José Espinósthe president of the Spanish Fertility Society (SEF), having an authorized center to collect semen is not easy: “In the same way that most assisted reproduction centers collect ovules, there are few authorized for semen of donors.” “There are more donors where more promotion is made and concentrated in places where there are specialized banks,” Espinós explained. So it is not because the Grenadians are extremely fond of this? Yes and no. As Juan Pablo Ramírez explained a few years agomanaging director of the company, although Donor’s profile has been changing over the years (and older men, workers and parents have been incorporated), “students continue to assume 80% of the total donations.” That is one of Ceifer’s keys: that Granada is the student city per hintomasia. A city of about 250,000 inhabitants that has a university of 80,000 students (and that is only a part of its training offer). But, without a doubt, it is a management success. After all, Ceifer also has venues in Seville and Córdoba, others of the two leading cities in donations. And it is not easy either. As they explainedonly 10% of those who are interested end up being accepted. To the age requirements (less than 50 years), we must add a personalized interview with a psychologist and a whole battery of medical tests that discard hereditary diseases and ensure the quality of the semen. So yes, Granada is at the top. And it seems that it will continue to be a long time. After all, the two cities that follow it from afar are also feuded by Ceifer. Who was going to tell us that the geopolitics of the semen was going to talk about the importance of having long -standing institutions attached to the field?

The Spanish travel startup is worth 2.7 billion dollars and strengthens its expansion

by

Some Spanish startups are demonstrating to the world that talent, creativity and innovation can transcend borders. Examples of success are not missing: from Cabify to more recent cases such as Domestika, PLD Space and Travelperk. Today it is time to talk about the latter, which not only has received a juicy capital injectionbut has also acquired a company to further reinforce its position in the market. Travelperk, founded in Barcelona in 2015 with the aim of improving business trip management, has raised 200 million dollars in a series E, the type of financing that usually comes when a startup is already well consolidated. With this investment, the company has reached an assessment of 2.7 billion dollars and prepares to strengthen its presence in the United States, in addition to redoubled its commitment to artificial intelligence (AI). Travelperk bets for tomorrow with Yokoy’s acquisition The announcement of the atomic -led financing round and EQT Growth arrives accompanied by other interesting novelties for the future of the Spanish emerging company. Travelperk, that last year I had acquired a service platform called Amtrav2025 begins with Yokoy’s purchase. We are talking about a Swiss expenses management that will help Travelperk to offer a more complete solution to its customers. Taunay-Bucalo, president and director of Operations of Travelperk, has pointed out in a press release After the news announced today that “customers no longer have to make concessions. They can have the best travel management built on the world’s broader inventory, and the expense management product that best works for your business, combined for the best integrated experience that exists. ” Companies that use Travelperk can establish policies and budgets for the trips of their team members, as if it were a vacation trip. If we analyze some Travelperk figures we can discover that it is a very interesting company. In his first decade of life he has managed to reap more than 6,000 clients around the world and has more than 1,200 employees distributed in offices in the United States and Europe. The world seems to be more conducive than ever for the growth of a proposal like this. During the Covid-19 Pandemia, business trips stagnated, but over time they have begun to resurface strongly, driven by the need to restore face-to-face meetings. Although the sector still faces challenges, the future seems promising. With the passing of the months we will know if Travelperk has what is necessary to continue in the race.

Spanish: 7 of the most common mistakes we commit when it comes to speaking and writing

by

Image source, Daniel Arce/BBC Mundo Article information Author, Drafting Author’s title, There is festivalcartagena@bbcmundo January 27, 2025 If you receive such a message you can have several things for insurance, such as who writes it has confidence with you and belongs to the millennial generation. The phrase, which was originally part of a meme with a funny flame with chuecos eyes, is possibly the first with obvious errors that went viral. And it is more or less clear that, who writes it, knows that there are several spelling fouls – “Hello, what are you doing?” It would be the right phrase. But there are other grammatical errors that are also viral, only that they have sneaked in our day to day without being part of a meme. We talk to Mónica Helguera, better known in networks such as “La Profe Mónica”, a graduate in Castilian language and who is dedicated to the creation of educational content today With her we saw some of the most common mistakes we committed in Spanish, both when writing and speaking. 1. The verb to have If we could make a ranking of beaten and vilified verbs by the Spanish speakers, the verb would have won the first prize. It is one of the most used and, perhaps that is why, with which greater mistakes are made. “This verb has a very complex situation. It can function as the main and as an auxiliary and, at the same time, it can even accompany two verbs at the same time.” This, without a doubt, can generate a lot of confusion. In the first place, having, as auxiliary verb, is used to form compound times. To do this, all the simple ways of having are combined with the participle finished in -or of the verb that is being combined: he has bought, we wanted, he had come. Here comes one of the first errors, which is to use the form we have, archaic, to form the first person of the plural. ❌ We have seen your brother. ✅ We have seen your brother. Image source, Daniel Arce/BBC Mundo Its other use, as the main verb is, at the same time, impersonal. That is, it is a verb that is generally used in the third person of singular and, in this case, denotes the presence or existence of something, as in the phrase “there is bread.” In this case, errors are trying to make a concordance between the verb and the subject that has no place. “It is complex to think that a verb cannot pluralize, being that accompanies a plural subject, but in this case, it is a mistake,” says Helguera. ❌ There were several girls. ✅ There were several girls. Recently another meme became viral and, in some cases, the verb has appeared with this error: ❌ When I am a millionaire, I will say nothing, but there will be signs. ✅ When I am a millionaire, I will say nothing, but there will be signs. With the impersonal use of the verb having in the present there are also errors in the way of writing it. They have seen “ay”, “hai” or “there” where “there are”. A classic phrase that is usually taught to differentiate how it sounds about how it is written is as follows: There is a man who says Oh! There – adverb of place. There are – the impersonal form of the verb to have present. Oh! – Interjection to express many and different spirits, from pain to joy. The fourth of errors with this verb is perhaps the most curious and quite repeated and is born by confusion in pronunciation. Let’s see. In this case, the auxiliary verb is confused in infinitive, having, with the sequence constituted by the preposition and the verbal infinitive see. 2. Homófonas words What are homophones? Well, they are pronounced the same, but they are written differently. And here are great confusion that lead to errors, for example: The confusion between AS/has/beam .. and yes, here we have an example that includes the verb having. Have you looked for that AS of football? Look for it. Do what I tell you. Has – form corresponding to the second person of the singular of the present of indicative of the verb to have. AS – One of the cards of the deck or a person who stands out remarkably. Do – imperative form corresponding to the pronoun you of the verb make. “Especially in the difference between you and do, I always try to explain it in the simplest way for people to understand. And I usually do it by asking people to look at the participle. If there is a word that follows that ‘you have ‘or’ do ‘and it is observed that it ends in ado, gone, to, so and cho (as in erased, eaten, broken, printed and said), it will tell me that the previous word is (you have slept, you eaten , you have broken, you have printed, you said), “says Mónica Helguera. Another way to distinguish between you and do is see that the latter indicates an order. Other words that usually confuse because they sound the same are going, berry and fence. Go to the fence to collect berries. Go – third person of the imperative of the verb go. Valla – Cercado or Wall. Bayas – a type of fruit. Image source, Daniel Arce/BBC Mundo Another example of homophones are there, be there, find and aya. Find this detail: there, next to the tree, which is a beech, there are children with their aya. Find – Second person of the singular of the present of the verb find, which means finding. There – demonstrative adverb that place. Hay – a type of tree. Aya – person in charge of caring for children. Another problem with the homophones are those that go with V with B, both sounds that less and less Spanish -speaking people distinguish themselves by pronouncing … Read more
