Send us Fan MailTrent sits down at AFA with 2nd Air Force Command Chief CMSgt Colin Fleck to talk about what may be one of the biggest shifts in Air Force Basic Military Training in decades.The conversation starts with legacy. Trent wears his father's jacket and talks about how one generation of service can change the trajectory of an entire family. Chief Fleck shares his own family story — grandparents who served, a father in the Army, joining after September 11th, a son who became a Marine, another who just graduated Air Force BMT, and a daughter who married an Airman.Then they get into why BMT is changing.The goal is not to trash what came before. BMT built generations of successful Airmen. The question is whether the Air Force can do more to prepare the next generation for a fight that probably will not look like Iraq or Afghanistan.That means putting the Air Force back into Air Force Basic Military Training.Instead of learning discipline, teamwork, attention to detail, and military bearing without always seeing where those skills connect to the mission, trainees are now getting hands-on mission context. There is already an F-16 on the ground. C-130s are coming. Trainees are working simulated weapons loading, cargo movement, aircraft refueling, runway repair, casualty movement, planning, risk management, debriefs, and after-action reviews.The point is not to make every trainee a maintainer, defender, or weapons troop. The point is to make them understand what it means to be an Airman first and how every career field contributes to generating airpower.Chief Fleck also explains where the culminating exercise is headed: an austere airbase environment, ground and air threats, small UAS, CBRN, limited sleep, noise, pressure, aircraft generation, cargo, refueling, and a real test of whether trainees can operate as a team.And for the NCOs waiting for these Airmen?Do not squash them.They may show up more mission-focused, more willing to plan, more curious about risk, and more proud of being Airmen than previous generations. Challenge them. Teach them. Ask them questions. And get back to the basics that can actually save lives: TCCC, small arms, CBRN, physical fitness, and preparing people to do hard things.Because as Chief Fleck puts it: Airmen joined the military to do military shit.Links:- www.bmt.projects-af.com- OnesReady.com- OperatorTrainingSummit.comChapters:00:07 - CMSgt Colin Fleck at AFA01:08 - Why Trent Wore His Father's Jacket02:30 - Chief Fleck's Family Legacy04:45 - What the Name Tape Means05:21 - Why People Really Join07:01 - Building the Next Generation07:44 - The Moral Imperative to Prepare Airmen09:52 - Changing BMT Is Not an Indictment of the Past11:44 - So What Is Actually Changing?13:54 - Putting the Air Force Back Into BMT15:54 - An F-16 on the Drill Pad17:37 - C-130s Are Coming Too18:37 - What Training Got Rebalanced20:03 - Why MTIs Are Buying In21:54 - From the Drill Pad to the Airfield24:21 - Building a Culminating Event Airmen Earn25:40 - What NCOs Need to Do Next31:03 - What Comes Next for BMTSupport the showJoin this channel to get access to perks: HEREBuzzsprout Subscription page:  HERERegister for our Operator Training Summit:  OperatorTrainingSummit.comFind an Air Force Recruiter: AirForce.comCollabs:Ones Ready - OnesReady.com 18A Fitness - Promo Code:  ONESREADY ATACLete - Follow the URL (no promo code):  ATACLeteDanger Close Apparel - Promo Code:  ONESREADYDFND Apparel...

Covid-19-pandemin innebar stora utmaningar för besöksnäringen. Inte minst för dem som arbetade i den, till exempel hotellarbetare. Elin Storman undersöker i sin arbetsvetenskapliga forskning hotellarbetares erfarenheter av organisatorisk omstrukturering och förändringar av arbetets innehåll under covid-19-pandemin. Elins doktorsavhandling bygger på fyra empiriska delstudier och ett stort antal intervjuer med hotellarbetare. I vårt samtal förklarar Elin att omstruktureringarna i spåren av pandemin orsakade betydande förändringar för samtliga informanter. De som stannade kvar i arbete mötte varierande arbetsbelastning, arbetstid och inkomst, förändrade arbetsuppgifter samt minskade karriärmöjligheter. De som blev uppsagda hamnade ofta i undersysselsättning och hade begränsade möjligheter att byta arbete, även om vissa såg möjligheter till en ny karriär. För att bättre förstå dessa erfarenheter introducerar avhandlingen en ny kategori, ”liminals”, för personer som befinner sig mellan arbete och arbetslöshet. Studien visar att vägen genom och efter en omstrukturering är komplex och att interna och externa arbetsmarknader är nära sammankopplade. Studien är finansierad av Afa försäkring.

Aviation Week Military Space Editor Vivienne Machi reflects on what we learned at AFA on space and the Iran war, as well as launch concerns for the Space Force and how that resonates with what Executive Editor for Defense and Space Robert Wall heard at World Space Business Week.

Sam, English Dan, Chris, Santi B and Andrés met this week to discuss the movers and shakers in the group stage of the 2026 Torneo Clausura group stage, because most of the way in it's now finally worth discussing who might and might not make the cut for the next stage. Elsewhere, Estudiantes de La Plata are through to the semifinals of the Copa Libertadores, and off the pitch River Plate have returned to executive committee meetings at the AFA, where they have some proposals that sound eminently sensible (and, as a result, absolutely will not be accepted).

Scaloni habló de su renovación y AFA confirmó que comenzaron las conversaciones con Tapia. Analizamos sus ganas de continuar, el recambio post Mundial, las situaciones de De Paul y Lo Celso y cómo convenció a Messi para su despedida. Además, el primer equipo que probó, las nuevas caras de la convocatoria y las novedades de las selecciones juveniles.PALABRA DEL EPISODIO: PLATACompañía de Selección Argentina, todos los viernes.

Send us Fan MailAaron, Trent, and Peaches are back, and Trent just returned from AFA with a firsthand look at where the Air Force is trying to take Basic Military Training.Apparently some people at AFA thought BMT was a company selling rockets, so we are off to an excellent start.Underneath the jokes, though, there is a serious shift happening. Trent talks about seeing senior Air Force leaders getting behind a renewed investment in the enlisted force and asking a question that probably should have been asked more often:How do we prepare Airmen from day one for the missions they may actually have to perform?That means connecting BMT to the Air Force mission earlier. Not just marching, folding clothes, saluting, and surviving basic training — but understanding how every Airman contributes to generating combat airpower.Aaron gets into why that matters strategically. America's enlisted force is one of its biggest advantages, and developing Airmen earlier means introducing mission context before they are an E-7 sitting through their first serious brief on the threat.Then Trent casually reveals he has been teaching MTIs palm strikes and muzzle strikes because apparently BMT needed more violence.Naturally, that turns into drill-sergeant tough-guy fantasies, Ohio, night jumps, Air Advisor tabs, retired PJ reunions, and Vegas weather.The crew also checks back in on the Chapman documentary discussion, JTAC qualifications, the difference between being JTAC-qualified and doing air-to-ground integration professionally, and why CCTs exist on other SOF teams in the first place.That leads into a bigger issue: why are Special Warfare communities still fighting each other like staff sergeants in the team room?Competition is built into these communities. People compete for schools, deployments, opportunities, reputation, and resources. But eventually somebody has to stop fighting over beret colors and start solving the actual problems.Especially when the latest SWAS numbers still are not producing enough people to sustainably feed PJ, CCT, SR, TACP, officers, and the rest of the enterprise.Also: old Ones Ready episodes recorded from Africa, Chief Bass, internet mistakes, and the disturbing realization that Aaron may actually own an Air Advisor tab.Links:OnesReady.comOperatorTrainingSummit.comChapters:01:05 - Modern Athlete and OTS Updates04:54 - Trent Comes Back From AFA05:50 - People Thought BMT Was a Rocket Company07:40 - Why the Air Force Is Rebuilding BMT08:32 - Start Preparing Airmen Earlier10:15 - Connecting Every Job to the Mission11:07 - Aaron's Prestigious Air Advisor Career13:37 - PJ Reunions and Getting Old17:02 - Why “Airman First” Matters19:53 - Trent Teaches MTIs Palm Strikes21:42 - “I'd Punch the Drill Sergeant” Guys22:54 - Chapman Documentary Check-In24:17 - JTAC Qualified vs. CCT25:57 - Why Special Warfare Keeps Fighting Itself29:10 - Beret Colors Need to Stop Running the Conversation30:18 - SWAS Still Isn't Producing Enough People31:58 - Recording Ones Ready From Africa32:37 - Chief Bass and Taking Social Media Risks33:41 - OTS and Wrap-UpSupport the showJoin this channel to get access to perks: HEREBuzzsprout Subscription page:  HERERegister for our Operator Training Summit:  OperatorTrainingSummit.comFind an Air Force Recruiter: AirForce.comCollabs:Ones Ready - OnesReady.com 18A Fitness - Promo Code:  ONESREADY ATACLete - Follow the URL (no promo code):  ATACLeteDanger Close Apparel - Promo Code:  ONESREADYDFND Apparel...

Send us Fan MailTrent goes solo for a short one before heading to Washington, D.C. for AFA, and somehow the haircut actually matters.He explains that he'll be at the Second Air Force booth for his day job, helping highlight work being done around Basic Military Training and the future of how the Air Force builds new Airmen. But this episode is not really about Trent, the booth, or anyone trying to turn AFA into a Ones Ready meet-and-greet.It is about the MTIs.Trent makes the case that Military Training Instructors are the single most important link between civilians and the Air Force during those seven and a half weeks of basic training. Policies change, commanders change, paperwork changes, standards get debated forever, and everyone online has an opinion about whether BMT was harder “back in my day.” But the MTIs are still the ones standing in front of flights every day trying to turn brand-new civilians into Airmen.Basic training may not be the most physically demanding thing in the world, especially for people headed toward Air Force Special Warfare, but that is not on the MTIs. Their job is bigger than push-ups and yelling. They are teaching standards, legacy, expectations, discipline, and what it means to put on a uniform that says U.S. Air Force.So if you are going to AFA, especially if you are a chief, colonel, general officer, or anyone with enough rank to make someone's day, Trent has one request: go talk to the MTIs. Ask them about the job. Ask them about the work. Show them some appreciation. A few honest words from the right person can change how someone sees the last few years of their life and the next few years of their career.Also: Ones Ready, Outside The Wire, members-only chaos, OTS, AFA awkwardness, contractor-life boundaries, and Trent asking you not to tell the MTIs he said nice things because that would be embarrassing.Links:OnesReady.comOperatorTrainingSummit.comChapters:00:02 - Trent Solo With a Fresh Haircut01:02 - Ones Ready, Members, and Outside The Wire01:43 - Why OTS Exists02:22 - What Members Only Really Is03:15 - Trent Is Heading to AFA03:59 - Why He'll Be at the Second Air Force Booth04:43 - Keeping Ones Ready Separate From the Day Job05:27 - Come See the BMT Work06:18 - The Focus Should Be the MTIs07:05 - What Basic Training Should Actually Do07:58 - BMT Is Not Hard Because of the MTIs08:44 - MTIs Affect the Next Generation09:22 - The Hours and Responsibility Are Real10:10 - Show Some Appreciation at AFA11:49 - The MTI Link in the Chain12:40 - Senior Leaders, Be Real People14:12 - Focus on the MTIs, Not Trent15:21 - Civilians Become Airmen Here16:06 - Show the MTIs Some Love16:32 - Like, Subscribe, and Trent EscapesSupport the showJoin this channel to get access to perks: HEREBuzzsprout Subscription page:  HERERegister for our Operator Training Summit:  OperatorTrainingSummit.comFind an Air Force Recruiter: AirForce.comCollabs:Ones Ready - OnesReady.com 18A Fitness - Promo Code:  ONESREADY ATACLete - Follow the URL (no promo code):  ATACLeteDanger Close Apparel - Promo Code:  ONESREADYDFND Apparel...

What does the Bible have to do with how judges read the Constitution — and why should Christian parents be worried about AI chatbots raising their kids? In this episode of Refining Rhetoric, host Robert Bortins talks with Abraham Hamilton III — lawyer, homeschool dad of six, and General Counsel for the American Family Association — about biblical hermeneutics, constitutional originalism, and the fight for religious freedom in America. Abe unpacks why the Founders expected lawyers to understand Scripture, how the "living Constitution" mindset severed law from its original meaning, and what Europe's collapse into censorship should warn American Christians about. He also gets personal — sharing why Ephesians 6:4 convicted him and his wife to start homeschooling 15 years ago, and how AFA is pushing back on AI's growing influence over kids. Whether you're wrestling with how faith should inform civic life or just want a homeschool dad's take on keeping your kids safe online, this conversation is packed with conviction, clarity, and a challenge to be wise, not woke.   Follow Abraham Hamilton III: @HamiltonCorner (X, Instagram, Facebook) Listen to The Hamilton Corner podcast: wherever you get your podcasts Watch on AFA Streaming: https://www.afa.net/ American Family Radio: https://www.afr.net/

Send us Fan MailAaron, Trent, and Peaches are back in the team room talking about something the Air Force should have fixed forever ago: when someone turns down a promotion or loses a line number, that stripe should not just vanish into the bureaucratic shadow realm.Chief Master Sergeant of the Air Force Wolfe is pushing an initiative that would allow those unused promotions to go to the next qualified Airmen in line. Wild concept: if the Air Force says a career field needs ten Tech Sergeants, and two people cannot or will not take the stripe, maybe promote number eleven and twelve instead of kneecapping the career field for no reason.The boys break down how cutoff scores actually work, why the number is not magic, how career fields get hurt when stripes disappear, and why this is one of those rare Air Force changes that is just objectively good.Then it turns into classic Ones Ready: AFPC smoke, Total Force Service Center manning insanity, why knowing a guy at Randolph can magically make the system work, why centralizing admin into one mega-machine broke the personal side of personnel management, and why treating every Airman like a number is not actually fair.To close it out, Aaron pulls up audio from then-Lt Col Dave Goldfein after being shot down over enemy territory. Calm voice. Dead airplane. “Start finding me, boys.” The crew talks about the rescue team, General Tom Palenske leading the helicopter package, Robbie Bean, missiles flying through rotor discs, and why sometimes you launch with incomplete information because Americans go get their people.Also: Trent's new headphones, Peaches explaining crypto delay, Fat Tony-adjacent bureaucracy energy, Operator Training Summit updates, and the ongoing demand that Ones Ready deserves 100K subscribers.Links:OnesReady.comOperatorTrainingSummit.comChapters:00:00 - Ones Ready Intro00:59 - Peaches Steals the Team Room01:39 - Trent's Headphones Deserve Respect02:06 - What Is Going on in the Air Force?02:15 - CMSAF Wolfe's Promotion Fix03:05 - Why Stripes Used to Disappear04:48 - Aaron Missed Master by Almost Nothing05:23 - Air Force Testing Is a Shell Game07:47 - Turning Down Stripes Hurts the Career Field08:30 - Cutoff Scores Are Not Magic09:05 - Space Force Figured This Out First09:26 - Declination Letters and Chief Stripes10:30 - When Tiny Career Fields Break the System12:16 - Good Ideas Still Hit Red Tape13:52 - The “Back in My Day” Crowd14:14 - Wolfe Gets a Huge W15:01 - A1 Might Have to Do Their Job15:39 - AFPC Smoke Session16:06 - AFPC Has Way Too Much Power18:20 - If a Friend Can Fix It, the Rules Are Fake19:46 - How Centralized Admin Broke the System20:48 - Six People Running Total Force Chaos21:31 - Airmen Became Numbers22:02 - Clovis, Family Reality, and Assignment Pain22:43 - Functionals, Favors, and Doing the Work23:49 - Goldfein Shot Down25:23 - “Start Finding Me, Boys”25:39 - The Rescue Team Tradition26:17 - Tom Palenske Led the Rescue27:41 - Playing the Name Game at Dinner28:04 - Missiles Through the Rotor Discs29:30 - Launch Now, Figure It Out30:24 - Operator Training Summit Updates31:00 - Help Ones Ready Hit 100K31:37 - AFA, Travel, and Final Chaos32:27 - Go TrainSupport the showJoin this channel to get access to perks: HEREBuzzsprout Subscription page:  HERERegister for our Operator Training Summit:  OperatorTrainingSummit.comFind an Air Force Recruiter: AirForce.comCollabs:Ones Ready - OnesReady.com 18A Fitness - Promo Code:  ONESREADY ATACLete - Follow the URL (no promo code):  ATACLeteDanger Close Apparel - Promo Code:  ONESREADYDFND Apparel...

Aircraft carrier catapult systems, Peraton's performance as the Prime Integrator for the FAA’s Brand New Air Traffic Control System, the Department of Homeland Security's luxury jets, Google's purchase of Spirit Airlines' data for AI training, American Airlines economy seatback screens, and a Li-ion laptop battery that caught fire in flight. Also, Micah's first flight, Delta's requirements for portable chargers, and the real reason they are called bear straps. Aviation News Trump orders Pentagon to redesign US aircraft carrier to use steam catapults to launch jets President Trump signed a national security memorandum directing the defense secretary, Pete Hegseth, and the acting Navy secretary, Hung Cao, to come up with a plan to replace the Electromagnetic Aircraft Launch System (EMALS) and Advanced Weapons Elevators with steam and hydraulic systems for the construction of the Ford-class aircraft carrier USS Doris Miller. Critics of the change point to the major redesign and expense required.

Naval Marine Archive. See also: Why The Ford Class Carrier's Island Superstructure Is Located So Far Back and Navy considers major aircraft carrier revamp to better suit Trump's aesthetic. Trump's FAA picked an unlikely contractor to lead its air traffic overhaul. The agency is having second thoughts. In December 2025, DOT/FAA selected Peraton as Prime Integrator for the FAA’s Brand New Air Traffic Control System (BNATCS), a $1.5 billion contract. Peraton, which had little direct experience working with the FAA, was chosen over Parsons Corp., which has extensive experience with FAA contracts. Peraton is a national-security and government-services contractor owned by Veritas Capital, and is known for its defense, intelligence, and IT/communications work. (Veritas also owns Peraton Labs, the former Bell Labs). Some reports indicate that the FAA is frustrated with Peraton. A source notes that “Peraton has basically not done any work since they got in” and admits that the FAA was partially at fault because it “stonewalled Peraton's efforts to work seamlessly with FAA counterparts.” The FAA has micromanaged the project, and Peraton has failed to manage the project. An In-House Private Jet Service, Senators Say The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) purchased two Gulfstream G650s, two G700s, and eight Boeing 737s to be used by the Trump Administration. U.S. Senate Appropriations Committee vice chair Patty Murray (D-Washington) and ranking homeland security subcommittee member Chris Murphy (D-Connecticut) are calling for an investigation. In a letter to both DHS Secretary Markwayne Mullin and the DHS inspector general requesting the investigation, the purchases are characterized as a “gross misuse” of tax dollars. Spirit Data Sale to Google Prompts Flight Attendants' Objection After 34 years of operations, Spirit Airlines ceased all flight operations on May 2, 2026. Spirit's Chapter 11 reorganization failed, and the airline went into full liquidation. The bankruptcy court entered a Wind-Down Order covering the sale of LaGuardia slots, the corporate campus, the loyalty program, and operating equipment. For $10 million, Google won the auction for Spirit’s approximately 100 million emails, calendar data, 500 million Microsoft Teams chats, documents, spreadsheets, and software code. Google will use them to improve its products and AI models. The Association of Flight Attendants-CWA, AFL-CIO, voiced a limited objection to the US Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of New York, raising privacy concerns. The union is concerned about the confidentiality of disciplinary records, payroll history, and internal communications, noting that the deal’s privacy provisions are designed to protect consumers, not employees. The union also raised concerns about links between payroll, timekeeping, and communications data; whether there will be an independent screen for employee confidentiality; and provisions on later transfers to third parties. The AFA asked the court to reject the sale unless changes are made to exclude all flight attendant information, including training records, time cards, and payroll, as well as any Microsoft 365 content containing flight attendant data. Alternatively, the court should require a review protocol for labor or disciplinary records and communications, and prohibit using the data to profile any identifiable group of flight attendants, the AFA said. See also: Flight attendants freaked out that Google is buying tons of Spirit employee data American Airlines U-turn: Seatback screens coming to all classes in 2028 American Airlines plans to start rolling out personal inflight entertainment displays on its narrowbody fleet in 2028, and complete the upgrade by the early 2030s. American will begin offering Starlink inflight connectivity on 500 planes beginning in 2027.  The lack of screens in economy cabins dates back to the US Airways merger in 2014. Doug Parker argued that the cost of screens was not worth the investment since most fliers brought their own portable device. United and Delta followed a different path. Laptop catches fire on American Airlines flight, passenger suffers minor burns Injuries occurred on American Airlines flight 2398 between Atlanta (ATL) and Dallas-Fort Worth (DFW) on August 21, 2026, after a laptop battery caught fire. The pilots reported smoke in the cabin to ATC. The cabin crew extinguished the fire (reportedly using a thermal containment bag). The A321 landed without further incident.

Vermietung von Immobilien als Steuersparmodell? Kann eine vermietete Immobilie Deine Einkommensteuer reduzieren und gleichzeitig Vermögensaufbau ermöglichen? In dieser Folge geht es um die wichtigsten steuerlichen Hebel bei Vermietungsimmobilien. Einkünfte aus Vermietung und Verpachtung werden nach § 21 EStG besteuert, Verluste können grundsätzlich mit anderen positiven Einkünften verrechnet werden. Gleichzeitig können Immobilien im Privatvermögen nach Ablauf der zehnjährigen Frist grundsätzlich steuerfrei verkauft werden, § 23 Abs. 1 Satz 1 Nr. 1 EStG. Ein Schwerpunkt liegt auf der Abschreibung. Für begünstigte Neubauten ist nach § 7 Abs. 5a EStG eine degressive AfA von 5 Prozent vom jeweiligen Restbuchwert möglich. Zusätzlich kann unter den Voraussetzungen des § 7b EStG eine Sonderabschreibung von bis zu 5 Prozent jährlich für vier Jahre genutzt werden. Die Kostenobergrenze liegt bei 5.200 Euro je Quadratmeter, die maximale Bemessungsgrundlage bei 4.000 Euro je Quadratmeter. Auch bei gebrauchten Immobilien kann eine höhere Abschreibung möglich sein, wenn eine kürzere tatsächliche Restnutzungsdauer nachgewiesen wird. Der BFH hat mit Urteil vom 23.1.2024, IX R 14/23, bestätigt, dass dafür kein Bausubstanzgutachten zwingend erforderlich ist. Weitere Anforderungen konkretisieren unter anderem das FG Münster, 14 K 654/23 E, und das FG Hamburg, 3 K 60/23. Wichtig ist außerdem die Kaufpreisaufteilung zwischen Grund und Boden und Gebäude, denn nur der Gebäudeanteil ist abschreibbar. Vertragliche Aufteilungen sind grundsätzlich anzuerkennen, BFH vom 16.9.2015, IX R 12/14, solange sie die tatsächlichen Wertverhältnisse nicht grundlegend verfehlen, BFH vom 21.7.2020, IX R 26/19. Wie riskant künstliche Gestaltungen sein können, zeigt das OLG Brandenburg vom 13.5.2026, 5 U 37/25: Eine Aufteilung eines Kaufpreises von 1,95 Mio. Euro auf 1,05 Mio. Euro Grundstück und 900.000 Euro angebliche Kunstgegenstände wurde als Scheingeschäft beurteilt. Weitere Themen sind erhöhte Abschreibungen bei Denkmalimmobilien und Sanierungsgebieten nach §§ 7i und 7h EStG, grundsätzlich 8 Jahre mit jeweils 9 Prozent und anschließend 4 Jahre mit jeweils 7 Prozent, sowie die Fußstapfentheorie bei Erbschaften und Schenkungen nach § 11d EStDV. Bei Renovierungen ist entscheidend, ob sofort abzugsfähiger Erhaltungsaufwand oder Herstellungskosten vorliegen. Überschreiten Instandsetzungs und Modernisierungsmaßnahmen innerhalb von drei Jahren nach dem Kauf 15 Prozent der Gebäudeanschaffungskosten, entstehen grundsätzlich anschaffungsnahe Herstellungskosten nach § 6 Abs. 1 Nr. 1a EStG. Auch Finanzierung und laufende Kosten spielen eine große Rolle: Schuldzinsen sind grundsätzlich Werbungskosten, Tilgungsleistungen dagegen nicht. Vorweggenommene Werbungskosten und Kosten während eines Leerstands können ebenfalls abziehbar sein, wenn eine konkrete und ernsthafte Vermietungsabsicht nachweisbar ist. Bei Ferienwohnungen ist das BFH Urteil vom 12.8.2025, IX R 23/24, relevant: Die Einkünfteerzielungsabsicht wird grundsätzlich angenommen, wenn die ortsübliche Vermietungszeit nicht um mindestens 25 Prozent unterschritten wird. Bei Auslandsimmobilien ist schließlich das jeweilige Doppelbesteuerungsabkommen entscheidend. Zusätzlich sind insbesondere § 32b EStG und bei Drittstaaten § 2a EStG zu beachten. Die zentrale Frage der Folge lautet: Wann ist eine vermietete Immobilie wirklich ein Steuersparmodell und wann bleibt sie trotz Steuervorteilen ein schlechtes Investment?

In this episode, I sit down with Matt Hillegas, CJF, a farrier from New Windsor, Maryland, whose nearly 40-year career has been shaped by a commitment to never stop learning. Matt shares how pursuing his AFA certification after decades of shoeing challenged long-held beliefs and opened the door to becoming a tester and board member. We also talk about shoeing hunters, jumpers, and equitation horses, how small changes can make a big difference in performance, and why slowing down has made him a better farrier. Matt shares many tidbits of wisdom he has accrued over the years as well as his philosophies on teaching and learning new concepts.   I hope you enjoy this conversation as much as I did.

La más elaborada: un pacto entre Infantino, la UEFA y los Kushner donde Argentina se dejó perder a cambio de no sancionar a la AFA y darle el negocio de la FIFA a un nuevo vehículo de inversión valuado en 20 billones. La lógica detrás de Thrive, el fondo de Kushner, es fascinante: creen que con AI el mundo digital se va a saturar y el futuro está en las experiencias en vivo. Deportes y conciertos primero.Después viene el dato que nadie dice en voz alta: una de las fintechs más grandes y conocidas de Latinoamérica hace una parte importante de su plata con apuestas online y pornografía. Está vista como una fintech innovadora. El negocio real es otro.También hablamos de la ronda semilla más grande de la historia de LatAm: 85 millones de dólares para Decade Wealth, fundada por el ex-CTO de Nubank, con Benchmark como lead. Un movimiento que apuesta a democratizar la banca privada en la región donde históricamente fue terrible.Luego el debate sobre emprender después de los 50. Jeff Dean, empleado número 30 de Google y responsable de DeepMind, Gemini y TensorFlow durante 27 años, acaba de anunciar que se va a emprender. La conclusión: los mejores emprendedores de 50 son los que llegaron al máximo en su campo, no los que recién arrancan.Mickey Malka, uno de los inversores más importantes de LatAm, publicó su nueva tesis de inversión de 40 páginas. Su diagnóstico: el mundo se quedó sin energía para soportar la AI. Su apuesta: generación, almacenamiento, traslado y comercialización de energía son el próximo gran mercado. El mismo que fue fintech, ahora va por la energía.Cerramos con 7 oportunidades concretas que AI está abriendo para emprender: soledad, desconexión, longevidad, nuevas necesidades de la vejez, micromercados ultra específicos y el tiempo libre que la AI va a generar. Una lista para guardarse.

Més de 5.200 racions del menjador de l'escola Àngels Alemany s'han pogut recuperar a través del projecte Rexcatering. Això representa que aquesta prova pilot ha evitat el malbaratament de més d’una tona d’aliments (1.046 quilos exactament) i ha generat un important estalvi ambiental i econòmic. El projecte va arribar al municipi de la mà de l’AFA de l’escola Àngels Alemany, amb l’objectiu de conscienciar sobre la importància de reduir el malbaratament alimentari i donar una segona oportunitat als excedents del menjador escolar. La regidora de Medi Ambient i Salut, Vereda López, en fa una valoració molt positiva i recorda que l'escola Àngels Alemany i la seva AFA fa temps que treballen d'una manera molt responsable en el seu menjador. “Haver pogut enllaçar aquest projecte amb aquesta base social i que al final tota la ciutadania s'aprofiti d’aquests aliments que estan en perfecte estat, que a més són boníssims i que segueixen una alimentació súper equilibrada, crec que és tot un cicle tancat”, ha afegit la regidora. “És una escola que ha treballat des de fa molt temps amb un ús responsable al menjador, per intentar malbaratar el menys possible, amb tot un treball pedagògic darrere i això ha estat la culminació de tot aquest projecte”Vereda López Recordem que a través de Rexcatering, s'aprofiten els àpats cuinats que han sobrat del menjador escolar, que estan en perfecte estat per al consum i s'ofereixen a la ciutadania a través d’una màquina expenedora. El personal de cuina els envasa i, amb la col·laboració de l’alumnat, s’etiqueten abans de dipositar-los a la màquina expenedora, situada a l’exterior del centre educatiu. D’aquesta manera, es promou un consum més responsable, es redueix el malbaratament alimentari i s’impulsa l'economia circular. A més, els resultats de la prova pilot també evidencien un important impacte ambiental. En aquests mesos de funcionament s’han evitat 14.053 quilos d’emissions de CO₂, a banda de generar un estalvi econòmic estimat de 32.430 euros. Durant aquesta primera prova pilot, les racions s’han distribuït de manera gratuïta. De cara al curs vinent, el preu serà simbòlic, d'un euro per àpat. A més, hi ha la voluntat d'anar aplicant el Rexcatering en altres escoles i també diverses entitats que hi puguin estar interessades, tot i que s'haurà de fer de mica en mica. “S'ha de fer a poc a poc, perquè requereix d’una inversió i de molts factors que s’han de lligar i hem de preparar-ho tot molt bé, perquè surti tan bé com ha sortit aquesta vegada”. “La intenció és ampliar-ho a altres escoles i altres entitats, perquè som conscients que a altres escoles evidentment també sobra menjar”Vereda López Quan es va posar en marxa el projecte, el setembre passat, Lloret de Mar es va convertir en el segon municipi de Catalunya a adherir-se a aquesta iniciativa, impulsada per la Fundació Residuo Cero i coordinada per la plataforma Aprofitem els Aliments, amb la col·laboració i el finançament del Departament d’Agricultura, Ramaderia, Pesca i Alimentació de la Generalitat.

En su paso por el aire de Radio 5, Miqueas Dávila, fundador de la escuela de fútbol infantil Malvinas FC, brindó detalles sobre su labor como captador oficial de San Lorenzo de Almagro en la región, la actualidad del club de Boedo con los juveniles y el presente formativo de su propia escuelita.Respecto a su función y su vinculación formal con la institución azulgrana, Dávila confirmó su rol y relató cómo se dieron los primeros pasos de esta alianza: "Gracias a Dios me abrieron las puertas con el coordinador de allá de Buenos Aires, de San Lorenzo. Y justamente hace dos semanas volví yo de Buenos Aires, fui a llevar chicos de acá de Pico, de la zona. Y bueno, le dieron el visto bueno a todos los chicos y uno solo fue fichado en AFA. Yo arranqué con esto hace tres años, cuando fui a llevar dos nenes que fueron elegidos para una prueba en San Lorenzo. Y desde ahí se me abrieron las puertas y comencé con este proyecto de captador. Y ahí empecé a llevar chicos a San Lorenzo justamente".

"Hay una relación fluida entre los dirigentes de la AFA y los jueces y fiscales"Nicolás Pizzi cuestionó las demoras de la Justicia en la investigación y afirmó: “Tienen las pruebas al alcance de la mano y no hicieron nada”.

Send us Fan MailGuest: Ed Vitagliano, Executive Vice President, American Family AssociationAmerica as an independent, sovereign nation is now 250 years old. The founders of our nation, who were mostly Christians or were in large measure influenced by Christianity, brilliantly wrote and adopted our nation's founding and guiding documents—the Declaration of Independence on July 4, 1776 and the US Constitution, the supreme law of our land on Sept 17, 1789.The founders understood from studying Scripture and history that separation of power is necessary to avoid tyranny and individual liberties, bound by personal restraint, are God's intent for a flourishing society.They were right. For about 200 years, America grew, developed, and course-corrected into one of the greatest empires in human history—militarily, economically, culturally, and yes, spiritually. The pulpit of Christian churches influenced the majority of our citizens through proclaiming biblical truth and the gospel. Generally speaking, our people and institutions largely revered God and His Word.But as with all nations throughout history before us, including God's own people the Jews, the hearts of our people began to wander and be seduced from reverence of the Creator. The Christian worldview that pervaded our land now has been replaced by a man-centered ethic where “every man does what is right in his own eyes.” We are now at the point where right is called wrong and wrong is called right.So where will America go from its 250 anniversary—deeper into sin and societal collapse or repentance and revival? What do Christians need to understand about our situation and what should they be doing?Ed Vitagliano is our guest this weekend to help answer these questions. Ed is the executive vice president of American Family Association (AFA) and the longtime co-host of Today's Issues radio program on American Family Radio Network. An award-winning writer, Ed wrote a column titled Foundations from the Past in AFA's The Stand magazine, which also appears in the July-August issue of The Christian Worldview Journal to be released soon.

Buenos Aires, 20 de julio de 1994. Un hombre entra en un bar de Bajo Flores, pide un sándwich de jamón y queso y una Coca Cola, y espera. Cuando el dueño le da la espalda, saca un bidón de combustible y lo convierte en una hoguera humana. Antes de morir, la víctima solo pronuncia dos palabras: "el gallego". Y en la Argentina de los 90, todo el mundo sabe de qué gallego habla. Francisco Ríos Seoane había llegado a Buenos Aires escondido en la bodega de un barco, entre maletas y ratas. Décadas después era dueño de medio circuito gastronómico de la ciudad, presidente del Deportivo Español y un hombre capaz de ofrecer seis millones de dólares por Maradona sin que nadie supiera de dónde salía el dinero. Le llamaban el Vito Corleone de Buenos Aires. No era una metáfora inocente. Este es el primer capítulo de una historia en dos partes sobre el ascenso de un emigrante gallego que llegó a codearse con dictadores, embajadores y presidentes de la AFA, y que confundió el fútbol con el poder absoluto. Todavía no ha llegado el bidón de combustible, pero ya se huele. Bienvenidos al Ríos Seoane que todo el mundo en Argentina conoce y casi nadie en España recuerda.

Palestra realizada no dia 08/11/2025 durante o 14º Encontro Espírita da AFA e do Grupo Espírita Irmão Gabriel, em Pirassununga/SP.

This week, I'm joined by Heidi Stoer, CJF, from Midland, Ontario. Known to many as "Bam Bam," Heidi shares her journey from growing up around horses to building a successful farrier business. We talk about her experience at Heartland Horseshoeing School, the challenges of building a client base, lessons learned working with difficult horses, and the importance of horsemanship and client relationships. Heidi also dives into her AFA certification journey, the persistence it took to earn her CJF, and the study methods, mentors, and resources that helped her along the way. Whether you're working toward certification yourself or simply enjoy hearing how others have built their careers in the trade, Heidi's story is full of valuable insight, determination, and practical advice. I hope you enjoy this conversation as much as I did.

És un projecte que l'escola el tenia més o menys al cap ara farà uns tres anys i en aquest 2026, coincidint amb el 50è aniversari, es farà realitat. L'Escola Miquel Utrillo afronta el repte de confeccionar l'altar i la catifa del Cap de la Vila, amb l'objectiu que els sitgetans i els visitants que vinguin diumenge a Sitges hi vegin quelcom més que, com expliquen al programa d'enguany, una creació artística efímera. Alguns dels detalls de tot plegat els hem comentat amb Marc Macià, president de l'AFA de l'Escola Miquel Utrillo.

Water Mamas: Climate Fiction That Challenges Everything | Mona Shomali on Geoengineering, Indigenous Rights, and the AmazonIn this episode, I sit down with author and visual artist Mona Shomali to discuss her debut novel Water Mamas — a gripping work of climate fiction that explores the collision of indigenous human rights, environmental justice, and geoengineering in a near-future Amazon on the brink of collapse.Mona's background is as rich as her storytelling. Before writing Water Mamas, she spent years as a college professor teaching Indigenous Human Rights and International Environmental Governance, worked as a case researcher on the landmark indigenous rights case Kichwa Indigenous People of Sarayaku vs. Ecuador, and served as an environmental policy analyst lobbying the UN on behalf of small island states facing extinction due to sea level rise. This is a conversation that goes deep.Water Mamas doesn't give you easy answers — and that's exactly what makes it so powerful. If you care about climate change, indigenous sovereignty, and the ethics of technological intervention in our ecosystems, this episode is for you.Timestamped Highlights:(00:00) Introduction to Water Mamas and its themes of climate crisis and indigenous rights(03:12) Mona's academic background — teaching Indigenous Human Rights and International Environmental Governance(03:52) Her work on the landmark case Kichwa Indigenous People of Sarayaku vs. Ecuador and indigenous land rights(08:06) The central conflict: cloud seeding, geoengineering, and indigenous consent in the Amazon(10:16) Why geoengineering is more complicated than it seems — and who it's already helping(13:18) Meet Afa, the protagonist: a UN representative torn between mission and conscience(14:44) How Mona's work with small island states facing sea level rise shaped Afa's backstory(18:32) The water mamas: indigenous spirituality, mythology, and a chilling dream sequence(21:38) The real Macuxi mythology behind the water mamas — and why it matters(24:33) Vishnu, the love interest: a character you'll keep changing your mind about(28:42) Could there be a sequel to Water Mamas?

El fallo de la Cámara de apelaciones fue una bocanda de aire fresco. La actividad de enero se confirmó buena, la inflación de marzo será alta y la baja de tasas promete algo de reactivación por el lado del crédito. Las cuentas externas por ahora no son un problema peso a que el peso se viene fortaleciendo. El chiqui cumple 9 años en la AFA, pero no consigue ser querido. No le importa.

This was a great conversation we had with Brian Buckner! We learned a lot from him how even when life can dang near cripple you... literally! That through faith, dedication, community and hard work you can pick yourself up and still accomplish and achieve life long goals you've set out for yourself. There's a bunch of inspiring moments Brian shared with us that I think people will like to hear and apply to their lives. There's also a big part of joining the AFA that helped Brian become the successful farrier that he is today that resonated with me when he told us his story. Coming together with a group of like minded individuals is a great way to achieve things in life that you set out for yourself.Also check out our website-www.forgingbrains.comOur Proud Sponsors of the Showwww.farrierbox.com use code BRAINS for 25% off your first month's order!www.well-shod.com use code BRAINS for a surprise product in your order!www.worldchampionshipblacksmiths.com use code BRAINS for 10% off in their online store!
