Regina Garcia Cano, Andes correspondent at The Associated Press, discusses the Trump administration's latest escalation against alleged drug boats from Venezuela, as the most advanced U.S. aircraft carrier is expected to reach the waters off the country in a few days in a show of American power.
En este episodio hablamos con Diego Martínez, mentor del Centro de Emprendimiento de la Universidad de los Andes, sobre el verdadero camino para emprender desde la vida universitaria. Exploramos por qué la universidad no siempre enseña a emprender, pero sí puede convertirse en el mayor impulso: qué recursos existen, a quién acudir, errores frecuentes, primeros pasos y casos reales de estudiantes que transformaron una idea en un proyecto viable.
Aujourd'hui, j'ai le b-honneur immense d'ouvrir une nouvelle mini-série de 4 épisodes avec Camille DENOY sur les sagesses ancestrales d'Amérique latine. Ce premier épisode est dédié aux sagesses des plantes médicinales de ces terres si riches, diversifiées et nourricières du continent sud américain que Camille explore depuis plusieurs années maintenant.Camille vit à Medellin en Colombie, au cœur de la cordillère des Andes, avec son compagnon et ses trois filles. Elle revient sur sa double casquette professionnelle : l'une en tant quedoula, un métier qu'elle exerce depuis plus de 8 ans, après avoir connu une première grossesse arrêtée in utero ; l'autre en tant que conseillère dans les filières responsables avec les producteurs de terroirs, en France, en Europe, en Asie et en Amérique latine. Camille nous inonde d' informations sourcées sur les plantes qu'elle a reçues soit par transmissions orales, au contact des populations locales, soit au travers de sa grande passion d'investigation qui l'anime tant.Camille nous décrit ici ce qu'est la medicina en Amérique latine, un usage des plantes quotidien en prévention et non en curation comme on le pratique dans nos frontières. Un riche échange sur les vertus des plantes de la main de celle/celui qui les cultive, les récolte jusqu'à leur utilisation.Camille met l'accent sur la richesse naturelle incroyable de la Colombie, reconnue comme le deuxième pays les plus riches en biodiversité au monde, après le Brésil. Elle revient aussi sur le pillage de certaines terres et sur l'importance de tout à chacun de prendre ce temps d'explorer l'environnement qui nous entoure, de ré-apprendre la magie des plantes de nos terroirs en les ressentant et en les consommant en conscience.Entre la coca, le viche et les multiples rituels autours de la maternité, Camille vous embarque dans un voyage qui vous transcendera de multiples façons afin de vous permettre d'ouvrir de nouveaux horizons et vous proposer une nouvelle lecture des plantes qui nous entourent, nous portent et nous apportent depuis la nuit des temps ...Un immense MERCI à Camille pour sa présence et sa confiance !➡️ Pour retrouver Camille sur Instagram : @mamacam__ / @soror.collective
¿Cómo enfrentar la crisis de los anfibios sin perder la esperanza? El biólogo y divulgador científico CARLOS GUARNIZO, Ph.D. en Ecología, Evolución y Comportamiento, habla sobre su investigación en biogeografía de ranas en los Andes colombianos y la URGENCIA de comunicar la ciencia. Las ranas llevan millones de años en la Tierra, pero enfrentan amenazas recientes causadas por acciones humanas: PÉRDIDA DE HÁBITATS por deforestación, CONTAMINACIÓN del agua y el hongo quitridio que las asfixia. El tráfico de especies es el tercer negocio ilícito más lucrativo del planeta y mata ocho de cada diez de sus víctimas. Guarnizo explica que muchos animales incautados no pueden regresar a sus ecosistemas y requieren de espacios y cuidados profesionales adecuados para especie. Guarnizo subraya, además, que la divulgación de las ciencias es una RESPONSABILIDAD para lograr que las sociedades mejoren su calidad de vida y conozcan mejor el entorno que las rodea. "Si un investigador encuentra algo novedoso y solo lo comunica en congresos y artículos académicos, esa información se queda atrapada", explica. La solución requiere MÚLTIPLES ESTRATEGIAS: enseñar a los científicos a comunicar desde la formación, salir de las universidades a los barrios y experimentar con FORMATOS DIVERSOS —danza, poesía, hip hop, conciertos, libros infantiles— que lleguen a nuevas audiencias. CARLOS GUARNIZO es biólogo, divulgador científico y creador de iniciativas como Ciencia Café Pasu Mercé. Coautor del libro "Tiburones, una experiencia submarina", creador del programa de TV Andbuster y autor de "Dinosaurios, una travesía cretácica". CRISTINA ROMERO RÍOS es ingeniera ambiental con maestría en Comunicación de la Ciencia de la Universidad de Edimburgo, Escocia. Es coautora del libro “Colombia de arriba abajo” (Editorial Lazo), autora e ilustradora del libro infantil "El Bosque Seco" y ”Vumbora pra Caatinga!”.

erasureemulating sand mandalas(note: you can read the original posting here)It's November 1st, 2025 and as you can hear, I'm not at home. We've been traveling for the last couple of weeks in Ecuador. We're now in the Amazon near Tena in the territory of the Kichwa people (Anaconda Lodge).I'm reading you this a calm presence posting called erasure. What I've just done, or I will do soon, is erase all 81 postings that I have made in French and in English, on this Substack.I'm starting from scratch, and it feels good.Let me explain…When I first launched a calm presence in February of 2024, my intentions were to share my learnings ‘for those in need of a calm presence'. That's a term that I borrowed from Dharma teacher Catherine Ingram.And it was successful. People would respond and I would essentially think out loud.But I've come to realize that these essays and opinion pieces - heartfelt as they might be - are snapshots in time that quickly become outdated. They weren't meant to be kept, really, but I kept them anyway, because that's the way we do things.We don't throw things out, partially because of vanity, but also to have a trail of one's work or thinking. A few days ago we were hiking in the Andes and the Tibetan Buddhist tradition of sand mandalas came to mind, so I went to Wikipedia. Sand mandalas are defined as :the creation and destruction of mandalas made from colored sand. Once complete, the sand mandala's ritualistic dismantling is accompanied by ceremonies and viewings to symbolize Buddhist doctrinal belief in the transitory nature of material life. The transitory nature of material life, which is more or less what a calm presence is about. This got me thinking : what if, with all due respect to Tibetan culture and any cultural borrowings, I emulated the creation and the destructive process of sand mandalas with the content and form of a calm presence. If not emulate, then at least be inspired by this way of creating, knowing that it will be returned to the Earth, so to speak.And since this is a digital art or digital project, I started thinking about what it meant for all those digits that retain the knowledge somehow, or at least carry it, what happens when they get dispersed? And so it opened up a whole new world, new way of thinking about writing and dissemination and memory and related issues. I was inspired by the sand mandala tradition. I'll read you a quote of how it's described : into flowing water to symbolize the cycle of life and the dissolution of the physical world.So when the sand is returned, it is through water and then dispersed back into nature. And there's the healing energy side to things that also interests me and that I will explore further. I think the idea is when somebody reads a calm presence posting, it is metabolized. They retain whatever they want to retain. It can be a word or two, a couple of thoughts, and then that's it. There's no need to go back to it. After a few weeks of it being present in our lives, it disappears.And another comes along when it's relevant and so on and so forth. There isn't the accumulation, there's simply an experiencing that goes on as part of day-to-day life. I like that and I'm going to give it a try. And if you so wish, you can continue to follow and hear or read these postings, which won't be much longer than this one today. And before leaving, I want to thank the 290 subscribers to a calm presence. It's been good to have the company and the exchange, but I also want to remind you that you're more than welcome to unsubscribe if you want to take a break. Don't feel obliged, I won't be offended.This is a kind of word-of-mouth activity. The way that I read and share, I think, is the way I like to work. If something inspires you or motivates you or resonates somehow, I just let that be shared in whichever way you want. Sometimes it's a story, sometimes it's an electronic transfer passing on. This is the first of these new postings, the Sand Mandela inspired series which will disappear soon. I wish you all the best.*Cover photo of moss at 4100 meters, Quito, Ecuador by Claude Schryer *END NOTES FOR ALL EPISODESHey conscient listeners, I've been producing the conscient podcast as a learning and unlearning journey since May 2020 on un-ceded Anishinaabe Algonquin territory (Ottawa). It's my way to give back.In parallel with the production of the conscient podcast and its francophone counterpart, balado conscient, I I publish a free ‘a calm presence' monthly Substack see https://acalmpresence.substack.com.Your feedback is always welcome at claude@conscient.ca and/or on social media: Facebook, Instagram, Linkedin, Threads, BlueSky, Mastodon, Tik Tok, YouTube and Substack.Share what you like, etcI am grateful and accountable to the earth and the human labour that provided me with the privilege of producing this podcast, including the toxic materials and extractive processes behind the computers, recorders, transportation systems and infrastructure that made this production possible.

Long before recorded history, ancient myths described gods descending from the sky — beings of light who gave humanity knowledge, language, and power. Were they divine... or extraterrestrial? In this episode of Conspiracy Files with Paige Carter, we dive into the Ancient Astronaut Theory — from the mysterious carvings of Sumer and Egypt to the impossible architecture of the Andes. Could ancient gods have been ancient visitors? The evidence is older, stranger, and far more compelling than you think.
There’s nothing in the night sky quite like the Pleiades. The star cluster forms a tiny dipper. Depending on sky conditions and the viewer’s eyesight, anywhere from a half dozen to a dozen stars or more are visible to the naked eye. Its unique visage has made the Pleiades one of the most important sky objects in many cultures. The people of the Andes timed the start of the harvest season to its first appearance in the dawn sky. The Aztec year began at about the same time. In Hawaii, the Pleiades was known as Makali’i. And the year began when Makali’i first appeared in the evening twilight – the middle of November. The year, the new year, and a festival period shared a name: Makahiki. The customs varied from island to island. But they had a lot in common. The celebration lasted for several months. Warfare and most work were banned. Instead, people danced, feasted, played sports, and reconnected with family and friends. And they made offerings to Lono, a god of agriculture, music, and peace. The Pleiades is just climbing into the evening twilight, in the east-northeast, across Hawaii and most of the rest of the country. In some Hawaiian traditions, Makahiki doesn’t begin until the first appearance of the crescent Moon in the west after the Pleiades returns. That’s coming up on the 21st – the start of the new year and the celebration that honors it. Hau’oli makahiki hou! – Happy New Year! Script by Damond Benningfield

JohnsonFans of Richard Price, Charlie Huston, and Jonathan Lethem will love this coming-of-age New York-centric detective noir debut from esteemed filmmaker and screenwriter Alex R. Johnson. New York City, 1998. New York is changing around Nico Kelly, and he can feel more coming. A private investigator and self-proclaimed photographer, Nico is stuck in a loop of city contracts and self loathing. What little middle class there was is disappearing—long-standing factories are moving out and taking their reliable neighborhood jobs with them, and Mayor Rudy Giuliani's police force has the streets in a stranglehold. Nico spends his days looking for fraudsters while taking photos of municipal employees on disability claims. He spends his nights trying to get rid of the nagging feeling that his day job makes him a professional snitch—traversing dive bars, playing pinball, and fighting through the haze of hungover mornings and blurry evenings.Pushing thirty years old and feeling split between his American and Latin heritage, between youth and adulthood, Nico finds himself at a precipice—who is he and what should he become? When Nico witnesses and records a murder during one of his insurance fraud investigations, bodies start to turn up all around him and he's forced into solving a mystery he didn't ask to solve. Humorous, gritty, and real, Nico's search for what it means to be human takes him through the deepest and darkest parts of New York City.https://www.brooklynmotto.com/Support the show___https://livingthenextchapter.com/podcast produced by: https://truemediasolutions.ca/Coffee Refills are always appreciated, refill Dave's cup here, and thanks!https://buymeacoffee.com/truemediaca
Sinopsis:VIENTOS DE LIBERTAD Una mujer humillada y desposeída. La tentación de recuperarlo todo. Un secreto vital que obtener tras la cordillera. Un general con un desafío por cumplir: cruzar los Andes. Provincias Unidas de Sudamérica, 1816. Las tierras del antiguo Virreinato del Río de la Plata han declarado su independencia de la Corona española, en el peor de los momentos posibles. El nuevo país, libre pero cargado de dificultades y retos, apuesta a remontar sus derrotas en el Alto Perú, con el audaz plan de formar un nuevo ejército y cruzar la cordillera para batir a los realistas por el oeste. En Chile, Sebastiana Núñez Gálvez ha visto desbarrancar su mundo de lujos, pero también de oscuridades, tras la reconquista realista del país. Ajusticiado su esposo por liderar el bando patriota y confiscados todos sus bienes, malvive en la extrema necesitad. Una falta de todo que la ha hecho abjurar de cualquier creencia y hasta de su reputación, para conseguir subsistir. El mariscal español Marcó del Pont lo sabe perfectamente, y le ofrece devolverle todas sus posesiones y alcurnia, a cambio de pasar a Mendoza y obtener el secreto mejor guardado del gobernador de Cuyo y general en jefe de ese nuevo ejército, José de San Martín: por dónde pasarán sus tropas a Chile. Sebastiana es una mujer decidida a todo para averiguarlo; apuesta para lograrlo a su antiguo y fuerte vínculo de amistad con la esposa del gobernador y general en jefe, Remedios de Escalada. No le importa tener que mentir, engañar o traicionar viejas lealtades. Pero la imprevista relación con un oficial de granaderos trastocará sus planes. Alguien que, precisamente, debe mantener los secretos de su jefe a salvo de los espías realistas. Edad recomendada: Adultos. CARRANZA TORRES LUIS Luis R. Carranza Torres nació en Córdoba.

Juan Ramon Matta Ballesteros began life as a pickpocket in his hometown of Tegucigalpa, before heading out on the perilous border roads of Latin America as an emerald smuggler. Soon he was making friends in high places, scoring deals on consignments of cocaine - and connecting coca producers in the Andes with up-and-coming narcos in Mexico. All the while, Matta forged ties with the elites and corrupt soldiers who'd run Honduras for a century, capturing the small state and ensuring its future as a coup-happy transshipment point for years to come. But when Matta took part in the narco world's most notorious murder, in 1985, his world came crashing down. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
In the late 1700s, Indigenous peoples in the Spanish colonies of the Andes were forced to work for the Spanish. They tilled the land, worked in the textile mills and the mines. Those that didn't faced heavy taxes. But in early November 1780, Indigenous Incan leader Tupac Amaru II led an uprising against the Spanish that he hoped would end it all.It was the largest revolt against colonial Spain. Thousands would join the months-long rebellion. It would inspire uprisings elsewhere across the continent, and independence leaders. South America would gain its freedom from Spain just 40 years later.BIG NEWS! This podcast has won Gold in this year's Signal Awards for best history podcast! It's a huge honor.

https://vimeo.com/1131876810?share=copy&fl=sv&fe=ci As we look around the world today, there's so much going on that is traumatizing so many people, and we're seeing all these repeating patterns of human history, and you might wonder, have we learned anything from the past? Why do we keep repeating these things? What's going on? And it's possible, it's just possible, for a moment, that what's happening is actually calling us back to wholeness. That all these traumas are actually some kind of evolutionary intelligence, a sacred survival mechanism that, when we meet with compassion and presence, can become a gateway to wholeness. And we're gonna hear about that today from our guest, Michael Stone, who is the author of the book "Traumatized: A Love Story, Healing the Wounds That Separate, Alienate, and Marginalize Us." Tune in, to find out more! Michael Stone was born committed to healing. Michael has led many transformational programs. He is a Gestalt Awareness practitioner, certified as a 5Rhythms Teacher, Trance Dance and Soul Motion. Michael Stone was a faculty member of The Shift Network and currently offers workshops and healing circles.

Healing begins when we stop pathologizing trauma and start listening to our bodies. MICHAEL STONE BIO Michael Stone is a spiritual teacher, author, and organizational consultant whose work integrates modern trauma understanding with ancient practices of soul healing. For more than five decades, he has led individuals and groups through processes of awakening, embodiment, and transformation. As a trauma integration facilitator, and author of "Traumatized: A Love Story – Healing the Wounds that Separate, Alienate, and Marginalize Us"s, Michael's work reframes trauma not as a flaw to be fixed, but as an intelligent, sacred response—a misunderstood love story embedded in our nervous systems, calling us back to wholeness. Drawing from his background in Gestalt psychology, somatic awareness, and shamanic traditions, Michael's teachings illuminate trauma as an evolutionary intelligence—a sacred survival mechanism that, when met with compassion and presence, becomes a gateway to wholeness. Through his Healing & Integration Circles, retreats, and mentorship programs, he supports people in releasing inherited wounds and reclaiming the creative vitality of the nervous system. A lifelong student of teachers such as Thomas Hübl, Gabrielle Roth, and Sandra Ingerman, Michael bridges science, mysticism, and human connection to address the wounds of separation within the individual, the family system, and the collective field. His recent book, "Traumatized: A Love Story — Healing the Wounds that Separate, Alienate, and Marginalize Us", offers a powerful vision of how love, awareness, and embodied community can restore balance in a fragmented world.

This week on Hold Your Fire!, Richard talks with Crisis Group experts Phil Gunson and Renata Segura about U.S. military build-up off Venezuela's coast, strikes on alleged drug smuggling boats and whether Washington could depose Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro.In this episode of Hold Your Fire!, Richard speaks with Crisis Group's Venezuela and Andes expert Phil Gunson and Latin America & Caribbean director Renata Segura about the escalating tensions between the U.S. and Venezuela. They assess the large-scale military build-up off Venezuela's coast, officially framed as a counter-narcotics operation but widely seen as part of a broader campaign to pressure Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro. They unpack U.S. strikes on suspected drug smuggling boats and how effective such measures are in curbing the narcotics trade. They talk about the evolution of U.S. policy toward Venezuela, divisions within Donald Trump's team over policy and how Venezuelans view the latest escalation. They look at the role of Venezuela's military and armed groups and how they might respond to foreign intervention. Finally, they consider Washington's next steps and assess Trump's approach to the Western hemisphere more broadly and how Latin American leaders view his policies.

Where in the world am I? In San Diego, talking about Machu Picchu Are there any tips to help me avoid being cheated or robbed while traveling? Yes, you can take precautions like removing your expensive jewelry before traveling and not carrying expensive purses or shoes. Don't look like a target. Look like you belong, and try not to stand out from the usual crowd. Check reviews of any Airbnb or turo car rentals you book. Be careful not to walk alone in the dark at night, as much as possible. Think of the odds whenever you go out. Please put them in your favor, not a criminal. If you like today's Confidence Challenge, my book series dives deeper into safety and security while traveling solo—link in description"" See Book A for addressing this challenge. You can find it on our website at https://www.5stepstosolotravel.com/ or on Amazon; it's a several-part series. Today's special destination is: Machu Picchu, Peru. I finally got there, after so many years of wanting to visit. And I had a great time. I hope the same goes for you. Peru is a wonderful place, but you do need to be prepared, and I was. I t'ss almost always a good time to book your ticket to Machu Picchu. So book it now if you are planning it. There is a daily cap of 5600 people. Once you get there, it will be too late to reserve a ticket. You could get lucky, so if you're in an emergency, you may be able to obtain one from a broker, but that will incur an additional cost. I was delaying the purchase for a few weeks, and I'm glad I booked my tour three months in advance. The tickets are not expensive, but it may be a challenge to afford them. I found a travel agency, but they wouldn't accept my credit card over the phone, and when I tried to set up a Western Union money transfer, it was a terrible experience. I'll share that in my mistakes later on. https://www.ticketmachupicchu.com/ticket-machu-picchu-2019/ Machu Picchu tips and insights on the travel for you. Step What to do Tips & costs 1. Tickets (book now!) Buy on Tuboleto.c ultura .pe – choose Circuit 2B (Classic Lower Terrace) for the iconic postcard view with moderate stairs. Cost 172 PEN ≈ US $45. Sales for 2025 opened on 19 Dec 2024; the daily cap is 5,600, so June slots sell out early. Peru RailEl País 2. Train 06:10 Inca Rail or 07:45 PeruRail Expedition from Ollantaytambo to Aguas Calientes; arrive 08:30‑09:30. Sit on the left‑hand side for Urubamba River views. Peru Rail 3. Bus up Buy a Consettur round-trip ticket (US$24) at the kiosk the night before; the first buses roll at 05:30, with a 25-minute ride. Ticket to Machu Picchu 4. Entry window Aim for the 09:00–10:00 slot (good light, less 6 am crowd, still before midday haze). Passport, ticket & small day pack only. My ticket was in the afternoon, and for that it was great. It was hazy that morning, I was told. 6. Optional short hike Huchuy Picchu add‑on (easy 1 km, 30‑40 min, extra 48 PEN) – great summit photo without the steep drop of Huayna Picchu. Ticket to Machu Picchu 7. Lunch & return Picnic outside the gate (no food inside), stamp passport, bus down, 16:20 train back to Cusco (arr. 20:30), or stay one more night at Aguas Calientes if you prefer a slower pace. Packing checklist: passport, printed tickets, layers (for cool mornings/hot sun), rain shell, 1 L refillable bottle (no disposables), DEET, sunblock, walking poles with rubber tips, cash for snacks & toilets (2 soles). Quick Tips for a Smooth Trip Book everything online in advance, including flights, trains, Machu Picchu tickets, and buses, to avoid lines and secure cheaper fares. Cash is still king in small villages—carry small bills; ATMs are plentiful in Cusco. Solo safety basics: use registered taxis (Taxi Beat or Cabify apps), avoid isolated beach areas at night, and keep photocopies of your passport in separate bags. Enjoy Peru's vibrant coast, Andean culture, and the wonder of Machu Picchu—then you'll be perfectly primed for Brazil's beaches a few days later. ¡Buen viaje! Hard to use Western Union for a payment to my travel expert. Very challenging. It didn't happen; I brought it in person to Cusco. Paid by CC in person, but not to the travel agent. She had to find someone willing to accept the credit card payment in another shop. It was both a great deal and a great pain. The total cost was only $275.Here's a breakdown of my trip to Machu Picchu Machu Picchu: My One-Day Experience (start/finish in Cusco) Timeline & logistics 03:00 woke up; 03:30 ready; 04:00 pickup. Bus from Cusco → Ollantaytambo, then train to Aguas Calientes (Machu Picchu Pueblo)—you even shared the carriage with a few actors. Reached town around 08:30 in the rain; explored, then rented a bathing suit and towel and relaxed at the hot springs (20 soles entry; 5 soles suit; 5 soles towel). Met Eduardo, my English-speaking guide from Cusco (now living locally). I treated him to tea before we got started. Noon: lined up for Machu Picchu entry; private tour from ~12:00–16:30. You tipped 50 soles—he was excellent. The weather shifted from rain to cloudy to sunny, perfect for walking among the ruins. Stats: ~48 flights of stairs and 6.4 miles walked; lots of steps. Afterward, enjoy a massage (~$20), a chocolate bar, and plenty of water before heading back to Cusco at around 11 pm. It was a long, but so valued day. What I saw & felt The town is small: church (Virgen del Carmen, where I said prayers), district offices, train stations, and police clustered together. Wildlife moments: five llamas, including a 3-day-old nursing and another 3-month-old—adorable. The scenery felt grand and expansive—it reminded you of Yosemite for its scale, but with open, terraced mountains rather than dense trees. Photos turned out great. You loved the entire experience and happily checked off another of the Seven Wonders of the World. Language tidbit from your guide:"'ach'= old, 'icch'= mountain. You noticed so many other peaks around the citadel. What I learned….. The tour weaved together the Incas' worship, daily life, food, farming practices (especially corn/maize), and burial customs—you noted that mostly women's skeletons were found in the areas you discussed with your guide. Inca history (brief context): The Inca civilization flourished in the 15th–early 16th centuries across the Andes, constructing extraordinary stone architecture and terraced agriculture without the use of iron or the wheel. Machu Picchu itself sat hidden in the mountains for centuries, its location contributing to its preservation until its 20th-century reintroduction to global attention. The expansive mountain range around the site made it feel concealed and sacred, "hidden for centuries," much like the aura people describe with Angkor Wat (your comparison). Small moments that mattered Tea with Eduardo (my treat) set a relaxed rhythm for the afternoon, and since it was raining, it gave me a chance to dry out. Hot springs soak before the ruins helped counter the early start and altitude. I loved that I could rent a bathing suit for the morning. That was a first. The hot springs were soothing and an unexpected pleasure. Bring your suit if you remember. Private guiding made the history feel personal and clear. I thought I would be in a group, but this was a private tour. One-line takeaway A long, early start bloomed into a perfectly paced day—rain to sun, hot springs to high terraces—guided insight, baby llamas, countless stairs, and a deep, peaceful sense of awe among the Incas'""old mountain" Connect with Dr. Travelbest 5 Steps to Solo Travel website Dr. Mary Travelbest X Dr. Mary Travelbest Facebook Page Dr. Mary Travelbest Facebook Group Dr. Mary Travelbest Instagram Dr. Mary Travelbest Podcast Dr. Travelbest on TikTok Dr.Travelbest on YouTube In the news

As technology continues to evolve at a rapid pace, the ways in which people, governments, and other entities engage with it morph right along with these generational changes. This is true for the current wave of protests sweeping the globe that got its start in countries from the Andes to the Himalayas. What ties these protests together are not only the demands for a better future, in each country's context, but also the marrying of A.I. with social media to mobilize at hyper-speed. From Nepal, to Madagascar, to Peru and beyond, people are jumping online to then organize and bring people to the streets in protest of the "nepo-babies", living standards, and a lack of a clear path to a better future. In this month's episode we speak with Dr. Janjira Sombatpoonsiri, a Research Fellow at the German Institute for Global and Area Studies, about the features of these protests, what ties them together, and what drives them to change. Looking at the issues of how social media can be used to organize or infiltrate, provide anonymity or easy tracking, and a open playground for manipulation and rage. These trends have all been supercharged over the past several years, as Artificial Intelligence has allowed protest movements and governments to amplify their own messages at the speed of thought, creating catchy graphics, videos, and re-post chains that brings the fight online. Dr. Janjira Sombatpoonsiri is a political scientist whose work sheds light on how people organize, resist, and find their voices under authoritarian pressure. Based at the Institute of Asian Studies at Chulalongkorn University in Thailand and as a Research Fellow with the German Institute for Global and Area Studies, she studies social movements, digital repression, and nonviolent activism across Southeast Asia. The author of Humor and Nonviolent Struggle in Serbia, Dr. Sombatpoonsiri brings a unique perspective on how creativity and courage shape movements for change in today's complex political landscape.
Harrison Viers Newberry has spent decades searching for life's deepest truths. After early success in corporate America, he faced unimaginable loss—losing his entire family in quick succession. Struggling with grief and alcoholism, he nearly gave up before finding salvation through a spiritual awakening that completely transformed his life.Drawing from his inner journey, Harrison rebuilt himself, launching a successful nationwide consulting business and later finding lasting love with his wife of over thirty-five years. His search for enlightenment took him across the Andes and into the Amazon, where he studied the ancient teachings of the Q'ero people of Peru.After losing his right foot in an accident, Harrison again turned tragedy into purpose, devoting himself fully to writing and research. Through this work, he uncovered profound insights into human happiness and the spiritual evolution of humanity. Today, his mission is to share those discoveries and guide others toward the lasting peace and joy he finally found within.https://a.co/d/8fP4vEwhttps://www.instagram.com/harrisonviers?igsh=NTc4MTIwNjQ2YQ==Represented by Joseph A.

Donald Trump no ejecutó este lunes su amenaza de decretar nuevos aranceles a las exportaciones colombianas pero tampoco la ha retirado. Además, el día terminó con un encuentro entre el presidente Gustavo Petro y John McNamara, embajador interino estadounidense, lo que marca un respiro en la crisis entre Colombia y Estados Unidos, un día después de su fuerte choque con Donald Trump. Recordemos que el despliegue estadounidense en aguas del caribe ha matado ya 30 personas que Washington considera pertenecen a carteles de droga venezolanos y a la guerrilla colombiana del Ejército de Liberación Nacional. Petro sin embargo ha denunciado que estas operaciones no se produjeron en aguas internacionales, sino en aguas colombianas, violando así la soberanía del país. La maraña de insultos cruzados entre Donald Trump y Gustavo Petro apenas deja entrever los estrechos lazos que aún mantienen Estados Unidos y Colombia en materia de comercio, migración y seguridad. Las operaciones militares desplegadas por Trump en el Caribe son contrarias al derecho internacional, pero eso no parece un problema para el presidente estadounidense. “Sin duda, se trataría de una violación al derecho internacional. Sería un irrespeto a la soberanía territorial colombiana, porque eso sería mar territorial colombiano, si efectivamente el gobierno colombiano logra probar que tuvo lugar esa incursión“, explica a RFI Sandra Borda, politóloga y profesora de Ciencias Políticas en la Universidad de los Andes en Colombia. “No sería la primera violación al derecho internacional desde el despliegue de la flotilla en el Caribe Internacional por parte de Estados Unidos, porque lo que ha estado cometiendo Estados Unidos con los tripulantes de estas lanchas que en teoría están transportando droga, son ejecuciones extrajudiciales que también están prohibidas por el derecho internacional humanitario”, añade. De acuerdo con su análisis, estas operaciones responden a una estrategia de Trump para involucrar a varios gobiernos de América Latina con el tráfico de drogas, lo que le sirve de excusa para llevarlas a cabo sin la aprobación del Congreso estadounidense. Primero lo hizo con el presidente venezolano Nicolás Maduro y ahora sin escrúpulos, ha calificado a Petro de líder narcotraficante acusándolo de fomentar los cultivos ilegales. “Es un mecanismo de disuasión. Es un mecanismo de retaliación fuertísimo que está destinado a mostrar el músculo de Estados Unidos en la región. A retornar a las épocas en las que había un tutelaje claro de Estados Unidos sobre los países latinoamericanos y a dejar en claro cuáles son las consecuencias si no hay sumisión frente a eso”, asegura la especialista. Donald Trump amenaza a Petro con suspender la ayuda financiera a Colombia, el país latinoamericano que más fondos recibe de Estados Unidos, más de 740 millones de dólares en 2023, de los cuales la mitad se destinan a la lucha antidrogas. Frente a esto, Gustavo Petro ha elevado el tono comparando a Trump con Hitler e incitando a darle un golpe de Estado. “Petro ya no tiene nada que perder electoralmente hablando y está en proceso de gestar su liderazgo internacional justamente oponiéndose a Trump. Y el problema que tenemos es que a este paso, el daño que le pueden causar a la relación binacional puede ser un daño irreparable”, advierte Borda. A falta de diplomacia, las relaciones entre Colombia y Estados Unidos están en la cuerda floja y la alianza entre ambos países irreconocible.

La inteligencia artificial ya no es solo una promesa del futuro: hoy se usa en hospitales y clínicas para apoyar decisiones que antes eran exclusivas de los médicos. Desde corregir recetas en tiempo real hasta diseñar tratamientos más seguros y personalizados, la IA ya está transformando la medicina.Pero cuando una máquina empieza a tomar decisiones sobre la salud —y la vida— de las personas, los principios clásicos de la bioética, como la autonomía, la justicia o la no maleficencia, entran en tensión.En este episodio de IA, luego existo la 4ta temporada de Clase a la Casa, hablamos sobre los dilemas éticos de usar inteligencia artificial en medicina. Y lo hacemos con dos invitados que ya están trabajando con IA en sus campos:Iván Felipe Gutiérrez, infectólogo pediatra, implementó un sistema que revisa automáticamente las fórmulas médicas de antibióticos en clínicas en Bogotá.Y Ricardo Alfonso Peña Silva, profesor de medicina y doctor en farmacología, investiga cómo la IA puede mejorar la eficacia y seguridad de los tratamientos médicos.Una producción de 070 Podcasts y la Dirección de Comunicaciones de la Universidad de los Andes.
Nobel in Medicine for a leash on our immune systemOur immune system has enormous power to defend us against the wide range of pathogens and invaders that nature sends at us. But it's a double-edged sword, and can target its powerful weapons against us as well. This year's Nobel prize in Medicine or Physiology went to a group who discovered a critical mechanism that keeps the immune system in check, under normal circumstances, giving them new insights into the diseases that occur when it goes wrong.Yogurt with a creepy-crawly secret ingredientA team of researchers has duplicated an ancient recipe for yogurt that uses a unique ingredient to initiate fermentation: ants. They added squished ants to fresh milk, buried it in an anthill to incubate it, and enjoyed zesty yogurt soon after. A microbiological analysis showed that the ants contributed a bacteria to the yogurt that is also present in sourdough starter.An ancestor of the largest dinosaurs was a dog-sized bipedResearchers have discovered a 230 million year old fossil high in the Andes of Argentina that is the precursor to the giant, long-necked sauropod dinosaurs like the iconic brontosaurus. This animal, however, is a two-legged herbivore that likely weighed less than 20 kilograms.Nobel in Physics for making particles ghostlyQuantum tunneling is a strange phenomenon in which subatomic particles can pass through apparently impenetrable objects like magic. This year's Nobel prize in physics was awarded to a team that discovered that this strange quantum phenomena can happen on larger scales too, and this has been exploited in all sorts of modern technology, including quantum computers.Neanderthals systematically rendered fat from animal bonesScientists think that the fragmented bones of hundreds of animals discovered at a neanderthal site in Germany represent the remains of a large-scale processing site where they extracted nutritious and useful fat. This could be used for a range of things, from skin protection to preserving meat similar to pemmican.Moose are hot. Are they bothered?During the fall rut moose, particularly the males, are very active searching for mates and competing with rivals. This activity generates a large amount of heat, which could be a problem as moose don't sweat. Scientists are investigating if, in a warmer climate, this might be interfering with their reproductive success.
The ancient Inca citadel of Macchu Picchu is one of the new Seven Wonders of the World, but still to this day, no one knows what it was for or why it was abandoned.

It was once called Columbus Day, and it still is in many parts. A day to celebrate the Italian explorer Christopher Columbus, who supposedly “discovered” America. But America was there long before Columbus came. And so were millions of people up and down the continent. Experts estimate that there were anywhere from 60–90 million people in the Americas at the time. Possibly even more people in the Americas than in Europe at the time. But disease and successive wars by waves of invading Europeans decimated the local Indigenous populations. Over the next century, roughly 90% of Indigenous peoples in the Western Hemisphere had been wiped out.But they have constantly resisted to this day.Please consider supporting this podcast and Michael Fox's reporting on his Patreon account: patreon.com/mfox.

This week, we're thrilled to welcome Terry Cumes, Managing Director of the world-renowned retreat center Willka T'ika, nestled in Peru's Sacred Valley of the Incas. Raised in the U.S. yet deeply rooted in the Andes through family and spirit, Terry bridges two worlds, blending modern Western sensibilities with the ancient wisdom of Andean cosmology.Terry takes us on a transformative journey through the lush landscapes and spiritual heart of the Sacred Valley, where mountains are revered as living deities and the Quechua people honor Pachamama, Mother Earth, through rituals of gratitude and reciprocity. He shares the remarkable story of his mother's vision to build Willka T'ika nearly 30 years ago, creating one of Peru's first luxury wellness sanctuaries devoted to yoga, nature, and the spiritual traditions of the Andes. What began as a family dream has evolved into a destination for seekers from around the world, drawn to its sacred gardens, ancient energy, and timeless wisdom.In this episode, we explore the essence of Andean cosmology, including its three worlds of spirit, earth, and underworld, its deep reverence for the mountains known as Apus, and the practice of ayni, a guiding principle of balance and reciprocity with the natural world. Terry also shares how his Western business training and his father's background in both medicine and shamanism inform his unique approach to leadership, wellness, and purpose.Join us for a rich and soulful conversation about finding harmony between modern life and ancient truth, reconnecting with the spirit of the earth, and discovering what it means to live in true reciprocity with the world around us.

In this second part of our conversation with Oliver Treviso, we explore his experiences in the final two countries of Colombia and Venezuela. By all accounts, Colombia and Venezuela were believed to be the most risky countries to hike the Andes in, but what did Oliver experience? And so, Richard McColl of the Colombia Calling podcast continues his conversation with Ollie Treviso, who shares his incredible journey hiking through South America. They discuss Oliver's experiences in Ecuador, the challenges he faced while crossing into Colombia, and the kindness he encountered along the way. Oliver reflects on the dangers he encountered, including a mugging, and the resilience he found in the people he met. The conversation also touches on his experiences in Venezuela, where he was welcomed warmly and even invited to speak at universities. As Oliver contemplates his future adventures, he emphasizes the importance of storytelling and the lessons learned from his journey.
