Los científicos nos traen cada día más descubrimientos insólitos. Últimamente han conseguido revivir una diminuta criatura que permaneció congelada por miles de años. Su nombre es bdeloideo y permaneció congelado en el permafrost siberiano hasta hace poco. Pero los científicos consiguieron devolverlo a la vida. ¿Significa esto que cualquier organismo puede pasar un tiempo en criptobiosis y luego volver a vivir? Learn more about your ad choices.

Paypal: https://www.paypal.com/paypalme/editorialtpv Este libro parte de una intuición inquietante: “ya estamos viviendo en el siglo II”. En Santificación cultural: Interactuando con el mundo como la Iglesia Primitiva, Stephen O. Presley sostiene que la iglesia occidental ha vuelto, por otro camino, al mundo pagano de los Césares. En lugar de elegir entre la guerra cultural o la huida tipo “opción benedictina”, Presley nos invita a revisar cómo los cristianos de los siglos II y III navegaron ciudadanía, trabajo, ocio, vida intelectual y persecución sin ceder su identidad. El libro recorre cinco ejes: identidad (catequesis, liturgia, los “dos caminos” de vida y muerte), ciudadanía (Policarpo y el dualismo político activo), vida intelectual (Justino, Orígenes, los apologistas como “intelectuales orgánicos”), vida pública (trabajo, espectáculos, ejército, familia) y esperanza (mártires, resurrección y reino venidero). Presley llama a una “santificación cultural”: indigenizarse en la sociedad y, al mismo tiempo, vivir como peregrinos que transforman su entorno por medio de una comunidad santa, pensante y llena de esperanza escatológica. Un episodio perfecto para quienes sienten que el cristianismo ha perdido poder cultural y, aun así, no quieren renunciar a la misión pública del evangelio. Basado en: Stephen O. Presley, Santificación cultural: Interactuando con el mundo como la Iglesia Primitiva, trad. Diego Lazo, serie Ética y Apologética (Lima: Teología para Vivir, 2025).

This week we sat down with Jody Maginley, a professional doubles tennis player and co-founder of The Changeover Podcast, one of the fastest-growing shows in tennis.Jody takes us from growing up in Antigua (population ~90k) with limited access to high-level tennis, to navigating US college and chasing points and paychecks on the pro tour. We get into the realities most fans never see; money, logistics, late-night travel and tough losses, and how that experience pushed him to build a platform that shines a spotlight on players outside the Grand Slam bubble.Topics we get into:What it takes to go pro coming from a small island nation.Wild tour stories from life on the road.Why the US College tennis system still has major gaps.Jody´s motivation for setting up The Changeover Podcast.How the show went from zero views to interviewing names like Kyrgios & Tsitsipas.Early-stage podcast growing pains (production, consistency, distribution)How Jody funds his tennis career.We debate whether doubles gets enough respect from singles players.The mindsets, role models, and motivations that keep him improvingLinks Mentioned in this Episode:Check out Jody´s show The Changeover PodcastListen to the CTC guests discussed in this episode: Denmark´s August Holmgren, Pat Cash & Sir Andy MurrayFollow Control the Controllables on Instagram & YouTubeControl the Controllables is Hiring!We´re offering a university student the chance to spend their placement year working on the Control the Controllables Podcast here in Spain.

REVISITED in 2025 - Episode 5 - To Travel Solo Or Not?In this episode, I go back to one of the earliest recordings I ever released on the Winging It Travel Podcast. My original episode, To Travel Solo or Not, captured a moment when I was still finding my voice, building the show from my bedroom, and trying to make sense of my own travel experiences. Now, years later, I'm revisiting those stories with fresh eyes.I take you through some of the pivotal solo travel moments that shaped who I am as a traveller today — from navigating Bolivia on my own after a last-minute change of plans, to driving around Antigua as the only tourist in sight, to the chaotic hostel scenes in Puerto Rico where life happened right in front of me. I also look back on the randomness of meeting a QPR legend in St. Kitts, getting stranded in Toronto with no way out, and being rescued by a friend I'd met years earlier on the road.These stories reminded me why solo travel can be so powerful. It gives you freedom, vulnerability, unexpected friendships, and moments of real growth. But I also talk honestly about the challenges — the loneliness, the missteps, the uncertainty — and how I see those experiences differently now in 2025.I also reflect on how travelling with friends and partners has shaped me, and how those dynamics contrast with going it alone. Revisiting this episode felt like opening an old journal and realising just how much has changed… and how much hasn't.If you're thinking about travelling solo this year, or if you're curious about how our perspectives evolve as we keep exploring, I think you'll get something out of this one.If you enjoy the episode, come say hello on Instagram at @wingingittravelpodcast, and check out more at wingingittravelpodcast.com. I'd love to hear your own solo travel stories.To finish, I am not sure what to think of my early episodes; they are a tad cringe from me in terms of the sound and production, but a reminder of the progression I have made in five years.Want to travel with me to El Salvador?

La novena edición del Festival de las Flores convirtió a la ciudad histórica de Antigua Guatemala en un jardín monumental, con instalaciones florales de hasta 10 metros que atrajeron a cerca de un millón de visitantes ansiosos por contemplar color, aroma y arte efímero. Un reportaje de Diana Fuentes, corresponsal de RFI en Guatemala. En Antigua Guatemala, Patrimonio Cultural de la UNESCO situado en el departamento de Sacatepéquez, las creaciones florales que adornaban estructuras de metal, madera y bambú alcanzaron alturas impresionantes de entre 3 y 10 metros, envolviendo cada rincón de la ciudad colonial en un arte efímero. "Ahorita ya estamos a punto de culminar nuestra novena edición; vamos rumbo a 10 años de este festival", dice a RFI Andrea Contreras, fundadora del Festival de las Flores. Además de convertirse en un jardín, este año el Festival tiene como objetivo resaltar la creación artística. "El Festival está dedicado a todos los artistas que han roto el molde. En esta ocasión es la fiesta de los artistas. Quisimos poner la mirada en el talento de nuestros artistas locales, entre ellos escritores, bailarines y pintores, no solo los locales, sino también los internacionales", explica Contreras. Importante fuente de ingresos "Es la única temporada del año en que se ve florecer a Antigua. El ambiente es muy alegre", dice uno de los visitantes. El Festival convoca anualmente a casi un millón de turistas, lo que satura hoteles, restaurantes y calles, pero también genera importantes ganancias para el país. "Yo he venido todos los años desde el primer Festival de las Flores. Antigua Guatemala es mágica: se pone uno feliz y ya no quiere irse. Pero hay una cierta hora del día, aquí en la Calle del Arco, en que ya no se puede ni siquiera pasar", comenta una mujer. Por eso, una visitante que ha acudido varias veces recomienda "venir tempranito para poder disfrutar más las cosas, mirar todo con calma y pasear un poco más por todas las áreas". Van Gogh y la Mona Lisa, fuentes de inspiración En cuanto a las fuentes de inspiración, la florista Catherine Morales, creadora de una de las obras de arte que participa en el concurso del Festival, cuenta: "Nos inspiramos en Van Gogh, la Mona Lisa y las pinturas más famosas del mundo. Empezamos a trabajar desde hace una semana. Aquí traemos el vinilo y las pinturas. Hay que prepararlo todo para luego venir a armarlo aquí. Así es más fácil. Armarlo toma aproximadamente una semana, aunque la idea viene ya de algunos meses". Otro eje de esta novena edición es la protección de la naturaleza. Por eso, Andrea Contreras resalta: "Ahorita estamos apuntando a mucho más con un festival más verde. Desde el año pasado estamos recolectando todas las flores que se utilizan en el Festival para llevarlas luego al compostaje. De esta manera volvemos a retribuir a la tierra". Coincidiendo con el inicio del equinoccio, Guatemala lo celebra con flores y arte que reafirman la belleza y el estilo inigualable de Antigua.

A late-night call, a closed clinic, and a stack of unanswered emails set the stage for one of the most determined quests for justice you'll hear this year. We walk through Kaitlin Hurley's drug-facilitated rape in Antigua, the UK police officer who tried to outrun accountability, and the father who refused to let an international border or a slow bureaucracy be the end of the story.We start with the numbers—why sexual violence remains vastly underreported and how rates in the UK and the Eastern Caribbean highlight a global crisis—then move into the granular realities of response: trauma-informed policing that helped, harmful missteps that nearly derailed the case, and the crucial role of preserved messages and medical evidence. From there, we open the black box of extradition. You'll hear how errors stalled requests, why a UK judge first denied removal over prison conditions, and how coordinated diplomacy, detailed prison audits, and a high-level sign-off finally brought the perpetrator back to face trial and a 15-year sentence.Beyond the courtroom, we tackle the cultural work that actually reduces harm. We discuss practical safety for online dating without shifting blame to survivors, and we press into prevention that starts with men—building respect, empathy, and consent as norms. Derrick Hurley shares how this case reshaped his life, from writing Antiguan Justice: A Father's Fight to delivering trauma-informed training and supporting communities with high rates of missing and murdered Indigenous women.Subscribe for more conversations that pair survivor-centered storytelling with actionable insight.

This episode is brought to you by Villa Carina Apartments in beautiful Bonaire. In this episode, we catch up with Jake Kelsick, a seasoned kitesurfer, wing foiler, and content creator from the beautiful island of Antigua. Joining Luc from his island paradise, Jake shares his lifelong passion for water sports, his journey from early kiting days to running a successful school, and the evolution of foiling in a tropical haven. From epic adventures in Bora Bora to dissecting ideal setups for beginners and pros, Jake offers an authentic glimpse into island life, the thrill of progression, and the joy of sharing the stoke with newcomers.- Island Roots and Early Days: Jake reflects on growing up in Antigua, getting hooked on kitesurfing since 2003, and how the island's warm waters, reefs, and consistent winds made it a dream spot. He discusses the shift from kiting to wing foiling, the local culture's relaxed vibe, and standout locations like Half Moon Bay for rolling waves.- Building a Water Sports School: Jake dives into starting Kelsick Kiteboarding (now expanding to water sports) in 2020 amid COVID, transitioning from pro freeriding to teaching 50/50 kiting and winging. He shares insights on demographics (mostly 30-50+ adventurers), the forgiving conditions for learning, and why Antigua strikes a balance between beginner-friendly and progression-focused—plus tips on affordability compared to spots like Bonaire.- Adventures and Pro Journey: From a wild birthday invite to Bora Bora's aquarium-like lagoons (saved by kite foiling in light winds) to competing in Russia and demo tours, Jake recounts standout trips that expanded his horizons. He talks about the realities of pro life—cool perks but tricky monetization—and how content creation bridged the gap, evolving from DVDs to YouTube gems like "Cruise Mode."- Gear Evolution and Teaching Tips: Jake breaks down his North gear loyalty, from beginner setups to high-performance foils (like the SF series), and how tech advancements made winging accessible. He emphasizes board sizing, foil progression behind boats, and why winging lowers barriers vs. kiting—allowing safer self-practice and quicker stoke moments, even for cold-water riders.- Community and Future Vibes: The conversation explores winging's explosive growth, its potential to rival windsurfing by attracting foil newcomers, and the addictive "rep game" of foiling. Jake highlights family life (with his wife and young daughter joining the fun), the transformative power of sessions for mental reset, and Antigua's long season (November-July) as a home base for camps and content.- Looking Ahead: Jake teases more island explorations like the Cook Islands, gear tweaks for evolving sports, and growing his school—while keeping the focus on fun, safe progression for all ages.Follow Jake - https://www.instagram.com/jakekelsick/
