Carrying your ID on your cell phone is very easy. You just have to take advantage of your next visit to the police station

by

Just a year ago it hit the app stores MyDNIthe official app of the Government of Spain for carry your ID on your cell phone. Honestly, carrying the ID was the only reason I still carried the wallet in my pocket. I already have a driver’s license thanks to MiDGT and I haven’t used a coin or bill to pay in years, so the only thing left was the DNI. And why am I telling you all this? Because since my license was expiring in a few days, I made an appointment to renew it this morning. And since I was at the police station, I took the opportunity to do that step that, to date, has prevented me from using MiDNI: in-person activation. Visiting the police station. Unlike MiDGT, to use MiDNI it is necessary to register in advance in the system. Basically, we have to associate the phone number with our identity, and we can only do that in three ways: On the National Police website using the physical DNI and a DNI reader, a device that I do not have. At a Documentation Update Point (PAD) that you will find, in fact, in police stations and documentation units of the Police. In person at said documentation units. Electronic DNI Update Point at the Villanueva de la Cañada Local Police headquarters | Image: Villanueva de la Cañada City Council The easiest? What I have done: use the PAD. It is a kind of ATM like the one in the photo above. You insert the ID with the chip facing up and follow the steps, which consist of entering your email, your phone number and a password. Once the process is completed, you just have to verify the account by entering the code that they will send us and that’s it. Here I am forced to slap the National Police on the wrist for a usability issue. If you show a digital keyboard on the screen and the number 2 shows the @ above, what the user, who is used to using a mobile phone or tablet, will understand is that they must press and hold 2 to select the @. At no time will it assume that you have to press “Caps Lock” first to be able to enter the symbols. The simplest solution would be to put a button dedicated to @. And why the PAD? Because you don’t need an appointment. If you are going to renew the DNIyou can take advantage of the fact that you are there with your brand new license and its five-ten years of validity (depending on your age), and register it in the system. If you don’t have to renew it, but you pass by a police station, you can take the leap and do it in just a few minutes, especially now that you know how to put the @. Don’t keep your physical ID far away. Although carrying your ID on your cell phone sounds outrageous, the truth is that it will still be necessary to continue having your physical ID on hand. As the National Police points out, the physical DNI and MiDNI are “complementary”, there are use cases in which the physical DNI will continue to be necessary: If your cell phone runs out of battery, is offline, or breaks, you will have to use your physical ID. You cannot use MiDNI as a travel document to cross borders or in other countries. Nor can you use it for online operations or telematic procedures that require authentication or electronic signature. These continue to depend on Cl@ve, digital certificate, etc. And if this were not enough, until April 1, 2026 it is not mandatory that public and private entities accept your digital DNI. But hey, at least it’s a step. Cover image | Xataka In Xataka | How to share your ID online safely to avoid dangers

If you don’t know what to visit when you go through Zamora, Palencia or Ciudad Real, this map is the solution to your problems

More than half a century after mass tourism began in Spain, the country is among the most visited of the world. Around of 80 million people They arrive in Spain annually, a figure only surpassed by France (+89,000,000). The number is impressive, especially if we compare the scale of its two immediate pursuers, the United States and China. And the reason is simple: 8,000 kilometers of coastline, a wonderful climate and years and years of tourist tradition behind it, with all that this implies in terms of infrastructure. The international nature of the average tourist has caused numerous breakdowns of heads to the authorities during the last years. Spain has tried to attract as many European, Asian or American travelers as possible in a context of tourism recession. During the pandemic parenthesis this was a complicated mission. It was then time to raise the flag of “national tourism”, one that has been flying for two consecutive summers. But what to see in Spain beyond the beaches once crowded by Germans or English? The question has crossed the minds of millions of Spaniards in recent seasons. To answer it, Musement has elaborated this map in which it analyzes the number and quality of scores received by more than 4,500 “points of interest“, that is, attractions and monuments, spread throughout the country. And from this data they have chosen one for each province. An advantage and a problem of this approach: it is useful to know what image the average Spaniard produces when he thinks of places like Palencia or Jaén; but at the same time it summarizes the many positive attributes of each province in a popularity contest. The attractions or monuments numbered here are not necessarily the most interesting, satisfying or beautiful in each place. They are the most famous. It is a personal matter to assess its degree of recommendability. (Musement) If we look at the palette of colors and categories, the north stands out for its large volume of “cathedrals, churches and basilicas.” From the ubiquitous Sagrada Familia of Barcelona to the Santiago de Compostela Cathedralvisiting other highlights of the Camino, be it the Cathedral of León, the Sanctuary of Covadonga, the Cathedral of Burgos, the Co-Cathedral of Santa María de la Redonda or the Basilica del Pilar. Other unique architectural elements sneak in through there, such as Gaudí’s Capricho (Comillas), the Royal Palace of Olite or the Seu Vella. There are also outstanding landscapes: from the La Florida Park in Vitoria to the imposing Ordesa and Monte Perdido National Park, surrounding the Sil Canyons, the Sanabria Lake or the Palentina Mountain Natural Park in between (some of them in the center of what has come to be called Empty Spain). The natural or national parks are the protagonists of Andalusia, starting with Doñana, continuing through Sierra Nevada and ending with Sierra de Cazorla (in Jaén). Otherwise, a little of everything. From urban monuments of very historical rank (the main squares of Salamanca, Trujillo, Seville or Teruel, although in this case “del Torico”; the Hanging Houses of Cuenca) to heritages of civilizations that thousands of years ago forged the present character of Spain (the Roman theater of Mérida, the wall of Ávila, the Aqueduct of Segovia, the New Bridge of Ronda). Also, not surprisingly, there are a lot of fortresses and palaces fortified: from the Peñarroya Castle in Ciudad Real to the famous Alhambra in Granada, passing through the Alcázar of the Christian Monarchs, a surprising winner in the province of Córdoba, also home to the mosque. There is even room for modernity: whether in the form of the City of Arts and Sciences, Dalí’s Theatre-Museum, the Guggenheim Museum in Bilbao, Portaventura or of Loro Parque in Tenerife. A little bit of everything. Not always the most notable thing about each province, but a good way to discover corners of the geography that are still hidden for the Spaniards themselves.

The Caspian level has dropped so much that it now has a new island. But you can’t visit (still)

by

Climate change has caused the oceans to have raised their reach in a few centimeters, but human action escapes also the opposite in other environments. The most obvious case is almost missing from the Aral Sea, but we find a more recent one in a nearby basin, that of the Caspian. A new island. A new island It has emerged from the waters in the Caspian Sea. The geographical accident is due not volcanic activity (as usually happens occasionally) but to the progressive decrease in sea level in this inner basin. The existence of the island was confirmed this summer by the Shirshov Institute in Oceanography, part of the Russian Academy of Sciences (IO Ras) On the ground (or almost). According to Explain the institutionthe first sighting of this new sand bank in the middle of the waters of Caspo was held from space, in November last year. However, the existence of the island was not confirmed and the unknown of its existence lasts for a few months. Until the end of May, when the IO Ras brought an expedition to the land. According to the oceanographic body, the expedition could not make land on the island due to the low depth of the waters and the weather conditions, but could see it and perform a first analysis that included the deployment of a drone to be able to approach it. The island without name. The island has not yet been named and there is little we know about it. As Io Ras points out, it is about 30 kilometers Southwest of Maly island Zhemchuzhny, another small islet formed in front of the Delta del Volga. The description made by its discoverers of the new formation is that of “a soaked plain”, a kind of marsh in the middle of the sea, as can be seen in the photos. In addition to appointing it, the team Point out that we will still have to study it in better detail to investigate in its “biohydrochemistry, hydrobiology and (in) the dynamics of sea behavior.” To facilitate the study, the team placed an oceanographic station about 40 cm deep in the waters surrounding the island. Experts expect the continued descent of the sea level in the Caspus to make the island expand over time. The end of summer would be a conducive moment for the study of the new island since the evaporation of sea water during the summer, along with a lower flow in its tributary rivers also implies a slight seasonal drop in this sea level. Importance for marine life. It will be interesting to see how the appearance of this islet to the ecology of the environment affects. The land could be used for some of the bird species that inhabit the Caspian to nest or make a break in the environment with other reasons. The other new islands. The warm -up of the planet is also able to “give” new islets to the geography of the planet through the withdrawal of the ice from the poles. It is what It has happened too Recently in Alaska, where the withdrawal of Alsek glacier has allowed the appearance of an island in the homonymous lake. However, the main engine in this creating new formations in our seas and oceans is volcanic activity. A recent example is The island that arose with the eruption of the Hunga Tonga volcano. It was the already missing The island of Hunga Tonga-Hunga Ha’apai, the result of the fusion between two existing volcanic islands. It is not necessary to leave the caspian waters to find another example. At the beginning of 2023 a mud volcano erupted in this sea, creating a new island that faded little by little. These examples do not predict a long life expectancy for the new training, but the scientists who study it believe that the progressive decrease of sea level will imply that this island grows, at least for now. If it will be later that is razed by the sea, that will be another story. In Xataka | In 1940 the Nazis invaded a British island.

How to design your own visit cards with artificial intelligence and leave them ready to print

by

Let’s explain How to design your own business cards using artificial intelligenceand how to leave them all prepared to print.

And then, we will also propose other alternatives that you can also use. Before starting, some tips Before you start creating your visits card, you must first think what type of design you want use. You may want it to be casual, childish, you may want it more rocker for a festival, and so on. Think if you want to include an image, in the design composition, and even in colors. All this you can specify or use then to make your design. You should also think about The sector for which it is directed. If you write about technology, you may want to use some details or graphic elements related to it. It is also convenient Having your company or your personal brand on hand In the event that you want to put one on the card. In case of a generative AI, you can upload the image of the logo to tell you that the vintage, and in other tools you can put it by hand. You should also be clear and defined what elements you want them to appear on this visiting card. Obviously, you will have to put Your name and surname and a description of your position In the event that it is something professional, but you may also want to put your phone, email or even postal address. It is also convenient that you define Where do you want to place each element and the size of each of them. Even if you are going to do it with chatgpt, you will have greater control of the result if you define the position within the card that you want each of the elements to have. Finally, You should always check the result Before giving the design good. IA make mistakes, and you can meet poorly written words or letters, with drawings with defects or elements that make no sense. Do not be afraid of repeating the creation of design as many times as necessary until you give with the optimal result. Create your card with chatgpt and similar To create your visiting card using a generative AI with drawing functions such as chatgpt and similar, you can use a Prompt or simple request, carefully describing what you want That appears. We have left this one: “I want you to generate the image of a business card in which I put as a company name” (company name) “, with its logo located on the right. In the center to the left with large letters” (name) “, and underneath put with smaller print” (place in company). “You must include some information such as email (mail).

Do not be afraid to correct the results and continue improving the elements until everything is as you want. Once you have created the card design, You have to turn it into something printable and cut -out. For that you can ask Chatgpt or the AI that you have used to generate a PDF, describing the folio A4 size or the one you are going to use, and that there are several cards on the page to be able to cut them. Use a prompt like this: I want to print this card. I want you to make an image in A4 size of a folio in which there are eight of these cards in two columns to be able to print and cut them. Do it in PDF. And with this, Chatgpt will make you a preview to print the way you have asked. Nor are you afraid to repeat the process if the result is not how you want. Ideogram is also another option When creating images by AI, IdeOGram It is another very good alternative that you can also use for your visiting cards. It is an AI dedicated exclusively to create imagesand you have several free credits to use from time to time. Here, simply describe what you want it to appear, giving all the details you can. This tool has some points against. You cannot raise a logo to use because attaching images is a payment option. In addition, not to look for logos online, and Nor can you turn PDF The resulting image. Therefore, in the designs you will not generate the logo correctly, something that at the business level can limit you. But it is also a complete tool with good results using the same prompt that we use in chatgpt. You also have many factors to choose a format that you really like. You can also Use another image created in ideogram as a reference or styleboth yours and those of other people. And you can even add several images at the same time as style. After adding some, you can create a new image by writing the prompt you want, but the style and colors of the images selected for it will be used as a reference. All this can be done on the web ideogram.ai. Make your card with Canva And finally, You can … Read more

A productivity guru went to visit Disneyland. And there he found the secrets of silent productivity

by

Recently, Cal Newport was in Disneyland. Newport is one of the great productivity gurus, and its most widespread thesis is that of Power of the concentration of the deep. His analytical eye allowed him, tail comes, get some interesting lessons about productivity even in the middle of a theme park. First, it describes the experience of attractions as “hyperreality”: worlds that are impressive and artificial at the same time, designed to offer a purified and safe version of the real adventure. Disney has perfected that creation of artificial experiences, and also productivity through the design of systems that eliminate cognitive friction. Something of what We already talked in the past. Every detail of the park is designed so that the visitor does not have to make too many decisions and can concentrate their mental energy on enjoying. Some examples: The posters are placed just where they are needed. The queues serpente so that it is more difficult to estimate their real length. Employees anticipate the questions that visitors usually ask. The show schedules are designed to distribute crowds without noticing manipulation. Even garbage containers are strategically located so you never have to load with remains. It is a great accumulated example of the philosophy of Do not understand productivity how to do more thingsbut to eliminate everything that does not matter to do well what does matter. And something deeper: Newport connects this experience comparing it to what happens when we use our mobile. Instagram, X or Tiktok offer us diluted versions of real experiences: The morbidity of traveling without traveling. Outrage without consequences. Entertainment effortlessly. Pirates of the Caribbean in 6 inches. The difference is that Disney designs for our well -being as a visitor (and potentially so that we want to return or so that we have easier to spend there). Social networks design for our addiction as a product. Disney wants you to go happy after a couple of days, social networks want you to never leave. And that is the lesson that we can apply: in the same way that Disney designs experiences that minimize the cognitive burden of its visitor, We can design our days to minimize trivial decisions. Automate the routine, systematize the repetitive, eliminate what it distracts. The mantra of creating an environment where we can concentrate on what generates value, and not simply work more hours.

More and more are those who visit Antarctica. We have just realized the magnitude of the problems they cause

by

We often hear about the damage suffered by the Antarctic ice layer, especially as a consequence of climate change. However, the icy continent is not only changing on the surface. The impact of the human being can also be noticed in the depths New images. A team of researchers He has published images of the seabed in the immediate vicinity of the Antarctic coast in which the effects of human activity in the region can be seen. Specifically they show us the impact on the marine soil that the anchors of the ships that arrive in the coasts of the southern continent. The problem is not simply landscape, it also affects the sea life of the seabed. The team showed special concern for the communities of sponges that inhabit this remote region of the ocean. Unprotected environment. The trail of human activity in this region is the result of various changes in the environment of the Antarctic Ocean. On the one hand, climate change has made waters that once remained vetoed to navigation are now accessible not only to oceanographic ships and breakfast but Also to tourist and recreational vessels. According to the team, during the 2022-23 season, at least 195 tourist, scientific and fishing vessels approached the coastal region in which possible to throw the anchor (areas with depths of no more than 82.5 meters). After the trail of ships. The group of researchers used underwater cameras to study 36 points of the seabed located in the vicinity of the Antarctic Peninsula and San Pedro Island (or Georgia del Sur). As explained, The images Captured to different depths showed disturbances both in the seabed and in underwater life, a consequence of the anchors of the ships that arrived in the environment. “The documentation is late, given the importance of these ecosystems and the protection we assign. The impacts of anchoring are infrastudiated and underestimated globally. It is important to recognize and mitigate the impacts throughout all industries and limit planned anchors,” explained in a press release Sally Watson, co -author of the study. Analysis details have been published Through an article In the magazine Frontiers in Conservation Science. Sponges in danger. The anchors are a risk to the life that extends in the seabed. According to the team, the affected areas showed few signs of marine life. What they did find were the traces of colonies of crushed sponges By effect of the arrival of humans. In contrast, in the adjacent areas “marine life flourished”, they emphasize. Especially vulnerable. An added problem is in the fact that life in these cold environments (part of this endemic life of the environment) tends to be slow growth, which makes it especially vulnerable to these types of problems. An example is found in volcano sponges (Anoxycalyx Joubini), A species found by the team in their expedition to which specimens belong that can be considered among the oldest living animals: they can reach 15,000 years of age.
