Tras el movimiento de protesta y su violenta represión, los iraníes cuentan poco a poco lo que han visto, y analizan las razones de este descontento popular. RFI recogió testimonios en Teherán. Fátima, como quiere que la llamemos, recorre las calles de Teherán en su taxi amarillo desde las 6 de la mañana desde hace más de 20 años. Con este trabajo ha educado a sus dos hijos desde que se separó. “No puedo proveer suficiente” “Los precios han subido tres veces este año, y esto hace que la gente se pregunte qué está pasando en el país para que tengamos estos precios imposibles”, dice la mujer. A pesar de su esfuerzo, su vida cada vez es más difícil. Tuvo que cambiarse a un sector donde las rentas son más económicas. La inflación no para de subir en Irán y a ella no le alcanza para llegar a fin de mes. “Yo estoy sola. Apoyo a mi padre y mi madre, pero hay momentos en que tengo vergüenza con ellos. No puedo proveer suficiente”, lamenta Fátima. Cuenta que todos los que se suben a su taxi están agotados por la economía. De allí explica que una multitud haya salido a protestar en todos los rincones de Teherán, como ella fue testigo. Incluido en la zona de Kahrizak, cerca al aeropuerto donde ella vive. “Como si fueran ovejas” Fue en ese sector donde el sábado 10 de enero vio a miles de personas: “Lo vi con mis propios ojos. Había un camión muy grande. Ahí estaban los cuerpos de los muertos, era como si fueran ovejas. Asi… cogían las bolsas de las puntas y las tiraban al piso”, recuerda. Las autoridades de la República Islámica acusan a terroristas apoyados por Estados Unidos e Israel de estar detrás de las protestas. Y aseguran también que fueron responsables de la muerte de los civiles. Quienes fueron testigos aseguran que las fuerzas del Estado disparaban directamente a los que estaban en las calles. También reconocen que la población, especialmente los más jóvenes, estaban extremadamente bravos y más listos a responder a la represión que en protestas pasadas… Cientos de integrantes de los cuerpos de seguridad murieron durante esos días. “Resistir al imperialismo de Estados Unidos” En su casa en Teherán, el economista Saed Laylaz asegura que la inflación ha empobrecido a la clase media y ha engrosado el sector que vive en la pobreza: “Cómo puede imaginar que el precio del pan ha incrementado todos los meses un 8% en promedio… ¡cada mes!”, exclama. El hace parte del grupo que luchó en la Revolución y sigue creyendo en ella. “Sin una gran masa de gente, la República islámica de Irán nunca podrá resistir al imperialismo de Estados Unidos”, estima. Lo que se ve en las calles son dos países que viven realidades paralelas. Un sector, que sería el 20%, que apoya al Estado y relaciona los problemas económicos a la presión extranjera. Y otro que se desmarcó de la República Islámica y sus líderes, a quienes ve cómo corruptos y acusa de la muerte de sus jóvenes.

Sin embargo, ni uno de ellos caerá a tierra sin que lo permita el Padre. [...] Asi que no tengan miedo, ustedes valen más que muchos gorriones (Mateo 10:29, 31).Un sábado por la mañana, mientras estacionaba el auto cerca de la iglesia, me detuve junto a una bicicleta que estaba atada a un carrito, y vi a un recolector de basura. Me quedé observando a ese señor. Concentrado, amontonaba latitas en la bolsa plástica. Sobre la bicicleta vieja, había una lona de polietileno azul bien doblada, un bolso, el carrito, sus pertenencias, los reciclables recogidos: todo estaba bien acomodado.No suelo llevar dinero en mi billetera, pero, por casualidad, tenía un billete de cincuenta reales. Bajé del auto, saludé al señor y le ofrecí el dinero. Sorprendido, tomó el billete, agradeció y dijo: "¡Usted me bendijo hoyl Justo estaba pensando en cómo seguiría con esta bicicleta. Venga aquí para ver". Uno de los caños de la bicicleta se había soltado. El dinero sería para el arreglo.Él me explicó: "Mis cosas están ahí. Tengo hermanos que viven por aquí, pero vivo solito. Ya estuve internado en el hospital. A veces, tengo qué comer; a veces, no. Estoy en situación de calle. A la noche, encuentro un rincón, extiendo mi carpa y duermo allí".Le ofrecí un colchón, y él dijo que estaba acostumbrado a dormir en el suelo duro y un colchón dificultaría su traslado. Y me sorprendió: "Mi vida es así. Pero si usted me pregunta si soy feliz, lo soy. Tengo una Biblia allí adentro", y señaló a sus cosas. Yo sostenía mi Biblia en la mano, y él preguntó: "Eso que usted tiene ahí es una Biblia, ¿verdad?". Respondí que sí. "Yo leo la Biblia todos los días. ¿Usted ya leyó Mateo 10:29 al 31?". Y, después de recitar el versículo de esta meditación, dijo: "Dios cuida de mí. Aunque sufra y viva así, estoy seguro de que le importo y tiene algún plan para mí".Lo invité a entrar, pero tenía trabajo que cumplir esa mañana, y otro día regresaría. No lo vi más, pero guardé para siempre su sermón. Aunque revisaba tachos de basura, pasaba hambre, vivía sin techo y afecto humano, tenía la certeza de la presencia y del cuidado de Dios.¿Estás pasando por alguna situación difícil? Recuerda el sermón bíblico repetido por ese sabio recolector de basura: tú vales más que los gorriones y eres el mayor blanco del cuidado divino.

¿Y si no perdiste a Dios… sino tu posición? Dios te está llamando a volver a tu posición original. Pero nadie vuelve si no sabe dónde está. Asi que hoy Dios te pregunta “¿Dónde estás?” no para señalarte, sino para traerte de vuelta.

Hoy quiero hablar de una cosa que a veces pasa y que puede confundir un poco: esa inquietud mental que notas como un nerviosismo interno, como si la mente estuviera “activa”, con ganas de soltar algo… pero sin un pensamiento concreto detrás. Osea, no es “me he ido con este pensamiento y me he enganchado a esta historia”. No. Es más bien un estado: la mente está inquieta y punto. Y muchas veces ni siquiera sabes decir por qué. No castigarse porque en este estado puede surgir la duda de que “lo haber gestionado bien?” y no es que no lo haya gestionado bien, que puedes haber realizado correctamente cada paso de la gestión mental, sino que hoy tienes ese estado mental hiperactivo. Para identificarlo un poco a la liguera, este estado no es el que tienes normalmente en cada practica, este estado es mas excepcionalmente. Asi que si podrías identificar cuando sientas un estado de inquietud diferente al de las practicas normales y no sepas porque esta ahi. La verdad que me cuesta explicar como es, porque no es facil, pero para que os hagáis una idea, pero bueno vamos a intentarlo. ¿Qué es exactamente esta inquietud? ...

To get off to a flying start in 2026, we can start by taking responsibility. Whenever we blame outside factors for things that go wrong, we immediately forget that there are things we can evaluate in ourselves to say, okay, well even if this is the case, even if this was just a terrible prospect, are there things that I could have done better and differently in this circumstance to create a better outcome? And almost inevitably, the answer is going to be yes. But in order for that to happen, we have to consider it. And we have to think, is this actually what I want to do? And if you do that, you’re just going to feel better about yourself. You’re going to feel better about your situation. Because you’re allowing yourself some level of control in the situation rather than simply delegating the failure to outside factors and assume you’re a victim and there’s nothing you can do about it. David: Hi and welcome to the podcast. In today’s episode, co-host Jay McFarland and I will be discussing how to hit the ground running in the new year. Happy New Year, and welcome back Jay! Jay: Thank you, David. It’s such a pleasure to be here. I think everybody has a desire, you know, at the beginning of the year, to say this year’s going to be different, you know, we’re going to make all these changes. It’s going to be fantastic. But do they really have a way to translate that into action? I picture myself hitting the ground, you know, it’s like the cartoon when they start to run, you know, their feet are moving, but they’re not moving quite yet. I think a lot of us are in that place. How do we get from spinning to actually moving forward? David: Yeah, it’s a great question. I know in the promotional products industry, we have trade shows that start at the beginning of the new year, the ASI Show in Orlando, the PPAI Expo in Las Vegas. And, There’s one in Fort Worth as well, an ASI show in Fort Worth. So we got three trade shows in the industry that are really designed to help people get off to a flying start. But as we look at today, you know, this first week of the new year, even aside from that, whether or not you’re attending a trade show, chances are you’re probably pretty reasonably fired up. Okay, here we go. It’s another new year. What are we going to do? This is exciting. And if we think about the types of prospects that we want to interact with this year, the types of clients that we would like to attract, the types of customers that we might want to let go this year, and really focus on building our businesses as proactively as possible. Building our client lists as proactively as possible can really help to improve our quality of life in a dramatic way. Jay: Yeah. I love that. in the restaurant business, there’s something called a theoretical food cost and an actual food cost. Theoretical is, what would things be like if you ran perfectly? If there was no waste, everything was perfect. And then actual is where you’re at. The goal is to constantly be trying to close that gap. So to me, I think about it in any business, what does your ideal look like? Your ideal client base, your ideal staff, your ideal sales? So if you can know what that is and then track a course to get to it, I think that’s a great way to feel progress. Because that’s what I tend to miss when I’m running a business is sometimes it’s just a daily grind. And I don’t feel like I made any progress today. And if you do that over and over again, it’s hard to continue to press forward. David: It really is. And I think a lot of that goes to the fact that very often we’re just tied up in the day. Whatever it is that’s going on in the day, we’re just facing whatever is happening to us moment by moment, day by day. And that can get very frustrating. I remember, I think it was Tony Robbins was talking in a seminar one time about the idea that in order to create our future, we need to envision it first. It’s like if you are going to build a house, you don’t just start nailing boards together, I think was the analogy he used. I thought it was a great one. You have to envision it first. You have to figure out, what do I want this thing to look like? Where is it going to be located? How many rooms are going to be in it? All that sort of thing. And at the beginning of a new year, it’s really nice to start thinking about what do I want my life to look like this year? Who do I want to be surrounded by? To interact with? Who do I no longer want to interact with? What types of customers do I want to work with? What types of customers have I decided I’m no longer really interested in pursuing anymore? Simple decisions like that can have an amazing impact on your life and your career. If you simply change the quality of the prospects that you’re targeting. If you go from interacting with a whole lot of small dollar clients to interacting with a smaller group of high dollar clients, particularly if those high dollar clients are people that are actually enjoyable to work, everything changes. Because now you’re not running around like a crazy person. You’re able to focus more on a smaller group of people that you can serve to the best of your ability and all of that impacts everything you do going forward. Jay: Yeah. Quality of life, frame of mind, stress level, home life, all of those things can be impacted. You were talking about your Tony Robbins analogy. I’m a big sports fan, and in football, typically when a coach comes out, they have their first 15 plays planned. They know exactly what they’re going to do. And the reason for that is so that they can kind of assess the skills and what the rest of the team is doing. I kind of was thinking, maybe that’s a great way to kind of start the year. because you’re not going to plan out every step of the whole year. because things change. We’ve talked about pivoting. But if you’ve got a plan for your first 90 days, this is what I’m going to do and this is how I’m going to go about it, then maybe that can set you up better for the rest of the year. David: Yes, and it makes us just feel better about ourselves because we’ve actually given it some thought. We at least have an idea of what we want to do and where we want to go. There’s that great quote from wartime, which basically says, “no battle plan ever survives contact with the enemy,” right? So we know that even if we put everything together, we want to do things a certain way. We know that it’s not necessarily going to happen that way. However, if we at least have some things in mind and we say, okay, I would like to do this and I’d like to do that, and I’d like to do this. You may not be able to do it immediately, in the order that you’ve chosen, but it gives you something to go back to after you’re dealing with putting out the fires or whatever else you have to do. If you’ve got that basic plan laid out and say, okay, I was able to accomplish this first thing, then I got sidetracked, but let’s go back to that second thing and then I got sidetracked again. But let’s go back to that third thing and work through it systematically. It just allows you to probably live more the kind of life you want to live. Because you’re deciding, in advance, what it is that you want to do, who you’re going to be doing it with, where you’re going to be doing it, when you’re going to be doing it. And even though you will not be 100% successful in accomplishing that, if you get 70% of the way there, or 80% of the way there, or 86% of the way there, whatever your number is, you’re going to be a whole lot better off than if you start out with a blank slate. Not knowing, not deciding where you’re going to go or what you’re going to do, then just taking it as it comes. Being reactive like that is okay for some people, but generally for business people, business owners, salespeople, reactivity is not a tremendous asset. Jay: Yeah, I agree. But I also think we have a tendency to look at losing in a negative way, because it’s losing, right? But losing is learning, right? And that’s one of the reasons why a coach runs those first sets of plays because they find out, will the run game work? Will the passing game work? Is their defense strong on this side of the line or that side of the line? So as you try things in business and you do lose, in some areas, it should be losing is learning, right? David: Mm-hmm. Jay: And then you can pivot and you can adjust. And the goal is to win more than you lose. But if you think you’re always going to win, you’re setting yourself up and that’s going to be very hard for you. Or if you only focus on the losses and not learn to grow from them, that’s also going to be difficult. So learning from losing I think is such an important part of starting a new year. David: I agree completely. And even the word lose or the idea of losing, I mean, if you think in a sports analogy, you can be losing in the second quarter, in the third quarter, and then you can end up winning at the end. And you haven’t lost until the game is over, right? So Jay: yeah, David: in life and in business, we haven’t lost until the game is over. We’re still in it every single day. We are still in it. We’re still in life, we’re still in business. We still have opportunities. So, It’s difficult to even say I’ve lost, because if you’re still breathing, the game is still going and you haven’t lost. You may feel like you’re behind. You may feel like you need to change the plays, but you haven’t lost yet, right? Jay: Yeah. You haven’t lost yet. And one of the other things that I find to be valuable, maybe especially at the beginning of the new year, is to challenge some of the assumptions that kind of creep around your business. Like I’ve been somewhere and I’ll say, what about this? And they’ll say, oh, we’ve tried that. That doesn’t work. Right? You’ve heard that how many times, right? And then I’m like, well times have changed. Things are different. Maybe we can tweak it a little bit. And then you try it and there’s amazing success there. It’s almost cultural within a company, sometimes. “No, that doesn’t work. We can’t do that.” I think challenging those assumptions can be of great value. David: Yes, absolutely. And there are a lot of times when people will do that. They’ll say they tried something, they’ll say, that didn’t work, and they will assume that it was that thing that didn’t work, when in fact it might have been the way that they implemented that thing. It might have been the way that they used that thing. Maybe they didn’t implement it as well as they thought they did. In the promotional products industry, salespeople run into this all the time. They’ll come up with a recommendation for a product that somebody can use, whether it’s a custom imprinted whatever, mug or t-shirt or cap or doesn’t matter, whatever the item is. And people will say things like, “oh yes, we tried mugs. Mugs don’t work.” It’s like, okay, well there are hundreds of millions of custom imprinted mugs that are working for businesses all over the world. If it didn’t work for your business, why didn’t it work? Right? What did you imprint on the mug? Who did you give those mugs to? What did you do with them? Did they stay in the box by your desk and they were never given out? That’s not going to work, right? So there are a lot of times where people think they did something, they feel like they’ve done something, and they either really didn’t do it, or they didn’t do it as well as it could be done. And I think for most of us, that’s something that we have to reflect on. Not just, was this done? But did I do it to the best of my ability? Did I do it better than my competitors? Did I do it to the extent that I’m capable of doing it? Or did I just sort of turn in a half-baked performance? Jay: Yeah, kind of haphazard. And what I found oftentimes is it was the employee, you know, you tried a new sales pitch or a new program to get leads and it was just the person who was doing it wasn’t into it. David: Yeah. Jay: And then we all decide, oh, that doesn’t work. Let’s move on. Instead of always assessing your systems and your returns and saying, well, wait a minute, let’s listen in on what you’re doing and let’s find out if there’s ways to tweak or improve your close rate. So challenging assumptions. I just love that concept. Especially several times a year, and especially at the beginning of the year. David: There’s a quote that I thought of that really kind of cracks me up. I’ve used it with my kids a lot. And whenever I say it to my kids or whenever my kids say it back to me, it always makes us laugh because the quote is, “it’s a poor artist who blames his tools,” right? I don’t know if you’ve heard that expression or some variation of that. And the way that we say it is, “’tis a poor artist who blames her tools,” right? If I’m talking to my daughter and she’ll say, “oh, this didn’t turn out the way that I wanted. This paintbrush stinks,” or whatever. “Oh, it is a poor artist that blames her tools!” And in business, we just have a tendency to do that. Everybody in business has a tendency to do that. When something goes wrong, well, it was this circumstance, or it was this person, or it was this prospect. This prospect was unqualified. Or this person was, whatever it is. And it may very well be the case. But whenever we blame outside factors for things that go wrong, we immediately forget that there are things we can evaluate in ourselves to say, okay, well even if this is the case, even if this was just a terrible prospect, are there things that I could have done better and differently in this circumstance to create a better outcome? And almost inevitably, the answer is going to be yes. But in order for that to happen, we have to consider it. And we have to think, is this actually what I want to do? And if you do that, you’re just going to feel better about yourself. You’re going to feel better about your situation. Because you’re allowing yourself some level of control in the situation rather than simply delegating the failure to outside factors and assume you’re a victim and there’s nothing you can do about it. Jay: Yeah. Yeah. So, perfect. And, and the other thing I would add to challenging the assumption is just try stuff. You know, sometimes we say, you know, you’re on the whiteboard and you’re like, no idea is a bad idea, which I’ve never believed is true. There are bad ideas that end up on the board. Right? But sometimes something sounds a little crazy or a little wacky, you know, trying some of that stuff, you just never know. I have some good friends and they’re part of a major software game development company and they used to spend five years, six years developing these vast games, you know, and it would take forever. And they have no idea if they’re going to be liked. One day they said, “what if we just put out some kind of small games to see how they would go and if people would like them. Then if they do, we would expand on them.” And they had hit after hit after hit. You may know their most recent hit, it’s Fortnite, one of the most popular games ever created. Fortnite was a side project that they were just kind of saying, “Hey, what if we did this or that,” while they were working on one of these massive projects. “Just something we’ll try. We’ll throw it out there, see what happens.” And that’s such an amazing concept to me. Sometimes you’re like, no, it has to follow these guidelines. Sometimes try something new and see if it works. David: Yeah. And sometimes the thing that we have to try that’s new is exactly what you talked about, which is listening. Jay: Mm-hmm. David: Listening more than talking and not making assumptions about what people want. Just actually asking them, what do you need? How can we help? And whatever it is that you’re selling. Sales ultimately boils down to solving some sort of need or some sort of problem. And if you focus on the product, if you focus on what it is that you’re selling instead of “what problem needs to be solved for this client,” you’re never going to be as successful as possible. So much of it is about trying to get inside the prospect’s head, client’s head, by asking them questions about what they really want to accomplish. What are they looking to do? And then prescribing the appropriate solution to help them do it. This kind of ties into the idea of features and benefits. I was having a conversation with someone about this the other day, where back in the fifties and sixties and seventies where features and benefits were considered premium, amazing ideas in selling. A lot of years have passed since then. And people have gotten more sophisticated. Their needs have changed and developed and evolved. And so the way that I view it now is that you start out with features and benefits, and that’s going to be somewhat helpful. But then you need to start getting into the emotions and the experiences. You know, talking to them about what’s it going to be like to have this result, or what’s it going to be like to have this product and the result that this product is going to create for you? That’s the emotions, it’s going to feel great to be able to go out and attract more clients with this promotion that we’re going to put together for you. So you can really tie in not just the features, not just the benefits, but the emotions, the experience of what it’s going to be like to do that. And ultimately, what is the transformation? What are we going to do to transform what they’re doing so that when they buy whatever it is that we’re selling, they’re going to experience something completely different and better than what they experienced before. Jay: Yeah, so true. I was thinking about the end of the year and that my inbox was inundated with surveys from companies saying, “how did we do?” And I was like, “oh my goodness. Not another one.” You know, as a consumer, I’m like, really? Another one? But when you think about what the businesses are trying to do is they’re making a genuine effort to try and understand their customer experience and how they can improve. And so as much as I don’t like those forms, I do appreciate what they’re trying to do. And you can do that. You know, if you’re a smaller organization, you can just make a phone call and say, “Hey, you know, how are we doing? Are we meeting your needs? What else can we do for you? I just want to see if you’re getting, you know, good service from your account executive,” those types of things. But making an honest effort to find out. Because oftentimes our perception of the product we’re delivering is very different than what the customer is experiencing. David: Yeah, exactly. And when you have companies like Amazon, for example, who will send out an email after every delivery, “how was it? Was it great? Was it not great?” It’s like, “oh boy, again?” Like, “I have to do this again?” But for most businesses, you’re not doing it every time. You’re not doing it every order. So if you do it once or twice a year, it’s not going to be as dreaded as the type of experience that you’re talking about. And another thing that you can do, when you are a small business, is you can basically send out a one or two sentence open-ended question kind of email, so it doesn’t come across like a survey. But if I just sent you an email that said, “Hey Jay, how did we do for you last year? Hit reply and let me know. Thanks. David Blaise,” right? You’ll reply to it or you won’t. Some percentage of the people will reply to it, but the ones who reply are going to just tell you what they thought, whether it was positive or negative, and it’s very non-threatening. They don’t even view it as a survey, because it just comes across as a very informal communication between two people who happened to have been working together. Jay: Yeah, I love this suggestion that you just made. Just a letter. The more it looks like a form letter, the more it looks like something that everybody received, the less likely I am to respond to it. But if it looks like a personal note, “hey, just checking in,” I am much more likely to respond. Such great feedback, David. So how do people find out more? David: Well, you can go to TopSecrets.com/call, schedule a call with myself or my team. Then we can see what you’re dealing with, see if we can help you through it as we begin this new year. It’s just such a great time to be able to focus in on where we want to be, where we want to go, what we want to do. It’s an exciting time. Exciting time to be alive, right? Every day is an exciting day when you’re focused on the right things and interacting with the right people. And so that’s another thing. If you have been watching this podcast, listening to this podcast for any length of time, you’ll know if you’re the right person for this. You’ll know if we’re a good fit. If we’re not, you’ll know that. You’ll listen to you go, “ah, I don’t like what these guys are having to say.” All right, unsubscribe. Right? But if what we’re talking about makes sense for you, schedule a call! Let’s have a conversation and see what happens. Jay: Yeah, I totally agree. David, thank you so much. I hope you have a great year and for everybody who set those resolutions, you can do it! Just keep pressing forward and make it happen this year. David: Stick with it! Thanks, Jay. Jay: That’s right.

175. podcast Autobazar.EU - 1. januára 2026 nadobúda účinnosť novela Zákona o cestnej premávke, ktorá sa dotkne desiatok tisícov vodičov na Slovensku, ale aj cyklistov či kolobežkárov.Bez kontextu by sme povedali, že sa mení sa doba platnosti vodičských preukazov vydaných do roku 2013, cyklisti dostali rýchlostný limit a nasledujúca novela prináša aj zelené brzdové svetlo. Tieto zmeny si v tejto epizóde prejdeme podrobnejšie, a ako to už býva, nie je to vôbec tak negatívne, ako sa môže na prvé počutie zdať.Rýchlosť chôdze definovaná zákonom Asi všetci ste počuli o tom, že zákonodarcovia do legislatívy zahrnuli aj maximálnu rýchlosť chôdze, a to 6 km/h.Konkrétne ide o novelizovaný § 2, ods. 2 písm. s) so znením, že rýchlosťou chôdze sa rozumie rýchlosť neprevyšujúca 6 km/h. Ide o takzvané vymedzenie základných pojmov.Internetom kolovali vtipy, ale aj oprávnené obavy, že policajné hliadky budú merať rýchlosť chodcov a prípadne im ukladať blokové pokuty. Ako medzičasom potvrdil samotný Policajný zbor SR, rýchlosť chodcov sa merať nebude, a je na to dobrý dôvod.Norma 6 km/h doteraz v zákone chýbala, a predsa sa na ňu odvolávali niektoré paragrafy v rovnakom zákone - spravidla išlo o dovolenú rýchlosť kolobežiek, bicyklov, skateboardov a iných nemotorových dopravných prostriedkov na chodníkoch.V nadväznosti na túto novinku sa preto upravujú aj § 52 ods. 5) a odseky 1 a 6 paragrafu 55. Týkajú sa osôb, ktoré sa po chodníku pohybujú na lyžiach, korčuliach, kolobežke, skateboarde a na bicykli - tí po novom už zo zákona nesmú prekročiť rýchlosť 6 km/h.Svojím spôsobom tak skutočne dostali cyklisti maximálnu dovolenú rýchlosť, ale iba na chodníku. Na ceste platia pre cyklistov rovnaké predpisy ako pre autá.Naďalej pritom platí, že dospelý cyklista má využívať cestu, nie chodník. Bicykel na chodníku smú používať iba deti do 10 rokov a dospelí, ktorí jazdia na bicykli s dieťaťom alebo dieťa na bicykli sprevádzajú.Teraz si prejdime tie dôležitejšie zmeny, ktoré reálne zasiahnu desiatky tisíc slovenských motoristov.Lekárske prehliadky od vyššieho veku, počíta sa aj preventívka.Od 1.1.2026 platí, že na pravidelné lekárske prehliadky musia vodiči až od 70. roku života, a to raz za 5 rokov. Doteraz to bolo od 65. roku života.Novelizácia § 87 navyše zavádza aj novú výhodu, ktorá motoristom zjednoduší tento proces - za lekársku prehliadku sa môže považovať aj preventívna prehliadka u obvodného lekára. Táto preventívka však musí byť prevedená korektne, s ohľadom na potreby tohto zákona.Šoférom z povolania sa termíny kontrol nemenia Stríž v podcaste upozorňuje, že pre vodičov z povolania platia iné pravidlá. Tí musia absolvovať zodpovedajúce lekárske prehliadky každých 5 rokov bez ohľadu na vek, ale od 65. roku života už každé dva roky.Týka sa to ako vodičov z povolania, tak osoby vedúce vozidlá skupiny C1, C1E, C, CE, D1, D1E, D a DE.Znenie zákona od 1.1.2026:Pravidelným lekárskym prehliadkam každých päť rokov a po dosiahnutí veku 65 rokov každé dva roky sú povinní podrobiť saa) vodiči, ktorí sú držiteľmi vodičského preukazu Slovenskej republiky a ktorí vedú motorové vozidlo skupiny C1, C1E, C, CE, D1, D1E, D a DE,b vodiči, ktorí sú držiteľmi vodičského preukazu Slovenskej republiky a ktorí vedú vozidlo s právom prednostnej jazdy, motorové vozidlo využívané na zasielateľstvo a taxislužbu a na poskytovanie poštových služieb.Súvisiace zmeny vo vodičákoch (nielen) vydaných do roku 2013Spolu s lekárskymi prehliadkami od 70. roku života sa upravuje aj súvisiaci tretí a piaty odsek § 94.Platnosť bežných vodičákov na motocykle, osobné a ľahké úžitkové automobily a traktory je naďalej 15 rokov, najviac však do dovŕšenia veku 70 rokov (doteraz 65...

Jedna z prvních vzpomínek Jaroslava Satoranského na Vánoce je spojená s loutkovým divadlem, které našel pod stromečkem. „Asi předurčilo mou dráhu herce,“ usmívá se herec, který začínal na Kladně, ale od roku 1966 je v angažmá v pražském Divadle na Vinohradech.

Philippians 4:8Finally, brethren, whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things are honest,whatsoever things are just, whatsoever things are pure, whatsoever things arelovely, whatsoever things are of good report; if there be any virtue, and ifthere be any praise, think on these things. Todaywe are looking at Ephesians 4:20–24. In these verses, Paul is speaking aboutputting off the old man and putting on the new man. He encourages us not towalk as the Gentiles—or the lost world—walks around us, but to live a new life,a different life, a life that reflects the glory of God in our speech, ourattitudes, and in everything we say and do. These verses are so important thatI feel we need to pause here for another day, especially verse 23, where Paultells us how we can live this kind of life daily, moment by moment. That versesays we are to “be renewed in the spirit of our mind”. We talked aboutthis yesterday, but today I want to make it more practical. AsI considered this verse, my thoughts went to Philippians 4. Paul says in verse4, “Rejoice in the Lord always: and again I say, Rejoice.” Then he adds,“Let your gentleness be known to all men. The Lord is at hand.” He goeson to say that we are not to worry, fret, or be anxious about anything.Instead, “in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving letyour requests be made known unto God.” Paul then gives this promise: “Andthe peace of God, which passes all understanding, shall keep your hearts andminds through Christ Jesus.” Thatpassage takes me back to Isaiah 26:3, which says, “Thou wilt keep him inperfect peace, whose mind is stayed on Thee: because he trusteth in Thee.”Then verse 4 says, “Trust ye in the LORD forever: for in YAH, the LORD iseverlasting strength.”  When yourmind is stayed on the Lord, it means that you remember who Yahweh Jehovahis—the personal God who loves you, cares for you, and keeps His promises. Whenyou know that, you have His everlasting strength to face whatever comes yourway in life. Nowlet's return to Philippians 4:8 where Paul continues by saying, "think on these things.” He then adds in verse 9, “Thosethings, which ye have both learned, and received, and heard, and seen in me,do: and the God of peace shall be with you.” Thatis exactly what we need in our lives today. Instead of worry, fretting, fear,and dwelling on things we should not be thinking about, we are to think on theright things so that we will live the right way. Let me say it this way: whenyou are thinking what you should be thinking, you cannot be thinking what youshould not be thinking. That is why Paul says, “Think on these things.”Thinking is a choice we make every day. Remember this simple principle: garbagein, garbage out. What are you spending time taking into your mind? What are youwatching on TV, social media, YouTube? What are you reading on Facebook, innovels? What are you listening to on the radio or from friends? Are youattending church faithfully? Are you spending time in the Word of God? Weare about to finish one year and begin another, and I want to encourage you tocommit yourself by God's grace to daily Bible reading. Make time to read theScriptures. Consider reading through the entire Bible at least once in 2026.Meditate on what you read. Think about it. Perhaps memorize one verse eachweek. By the end of the year, you will have fifty-two verses hidden in yourheart. Listento godly music. Listen to biblical teaching as you travel, rather than allowingyour mind to wander toward everything that is wrong, discouraging, or painful,or toward people who have hurt you in the past. Paul tells us to think on thesethings—the truths of God's Word and the person of Jesus Christ. When we yieldourselves in obedience to the Word of God, and we are filled and guided by theHoly Spirit, He helps us think rightly and live faithfully. And you will be “renewedin the spirit of your mind”. (Read Romans 8:1-16).

Asi čtvrtina všech léků, které používáme v moderní medicíně, vychází z rostlin tropických deštných lesů. Jde o jeden z nejsrozumitelnějších důvodů, proč se i v Česku zajímat o osud Amazonského pralesa. Ten hlavně kvůli chovu hovězího dobytka stále mizí a hrozí mu degradace v savanu. Co všechno i nám prales dává a jak o toto dědictví pečují tamní domorodci?

Česko je jedním z největších producentů kapra v Evropě. Tradice našeho rybníkářství sahá do středověku – ryby byly považovány za postní pokrm. Postní odkaz si nese i tradiční štědrovečerní večeře. Většina české produkce jde ale v průběhu roku do Rakouska, Německa a Francie. Asi 40 % se prodá u nás na Vánoce. Jinak si kapřího masa moc nevšímáme a ani s ním neumíme příliš pracovat. Změnit to chce Jan Čulík.

Události se řítí takovým tempem, že je těžké si vzpomenout, že rok 2025 začal katastrofou způsobenou klimatem: velké části amerického Los Angeles shořely v několikadenním ohnivém pekle. Následovala celá řada podobných tragédií: povodně v Texasu, hurikán Melissa, povodně napříč jihovýchodní Asií, které si vyžádaly více než tisíc životů. I přesto některé události tohoto roku dávají alespoň určitou naději do budoucna, píše americký magazín The New Yorker.

Dragging through the day… but wide awake at night? Feeling foggy, irritable, overwhelmed, or battling stubborn belly fat that won't budge? It's easy to blame this on stress, age, or the time of year. But what if the real issue runs deeper? In this episode of The Health Made Simple Show, Dr. Bart explains the early warning signs of adrenal dysfunction that most people miss before full burnout, hormone disruption, and immune breakdown set in. This is especially important if you're a high-achiever under constant pressure, woman in perimenopause, or navigating postpartum recovery These seasons of life place enormous demand on the adrenal system, and when it starts to falter, the symptoms often show up as fatigue, anxiety, sleep issues, weight gain, and low resilience. In this episode, you'll learn: The 5 most common signs your adrenals are under stress Why being "wired but tired" is a major red flag How chronic stress quietly impacts belly fat, muscle, mood, and sleep Why standard blood tests often miss early adrenal burnout The most accurate way to assess adrenal health using saliva-based cortisol testing (ASI/DUTCH) So if you've ever been told your labs look "normal" but you know something still feels off, this episode will help you connect the dots. And if you're ready to take the next step:   Book a 1:1 consult with Dr. Bart:

Bueno, en esta parte 2 de mi conversación sobre el Código, trato de llegar a la definición de cuál es nuestra obligación, cómo podemos integrar la ética en general y no solo el Código en nuestra práctica, y por qué el monitoreo del Código es tan elitista como el apoyo a la lactancia y la salud en general. Les mencioné la Cumbre de ASI en febrero y estos serán los temas a cubrirse y las conferencistas: El Caso Curioso del Monitoreo del Código (Lourdes Santaballa) Cuando el mercadeo es violencia: la promoción desmedida de fórmula infantil y el racismo estructural (Luisa Pérez) Likes, Shares y Violaciones: El Código Frente a las Redes Sociales (Paulette Vélez) Batas blancas bajo el asedio de la industria (panel facilitado por Krystal Torres y con Denise Lizardi, Glory Serrano, y Michelle Lozada) Ok, en serio, ¿pero por qué biberones? (Krystal Torres) Pueden seguir a Alimentación Segura Infantil para más detalles. Mientras tanto, pueden ver otra presentación sobre el Código aquí, si les interesa el tema. ¿Te encanta el Código tanto como me encanta a mí? Pues, es tuyo también. Vamos a reclamarlo y sacarlo de las manos de las OWLs.

Technological development has always been a double-edged sword for humanity: the printing press increased the spread of misinformation, cars disrupted the fabric of our cities, and social media has made us increasingly polarized and lonely. But it has not been since the invention of the nuclear bomb that technology has presented such a severe existential risk to humanity – until now, with the possibility of Artificial Super Intelligence (ASI) on the horizon. Were ASI to come to fruition, it would be so powerful that it would outcompete human beings in everything – from scientific discovery to strategic warfare. What might happen to our species if we reach this point of singularity, and how can we steer away from the worst outcomes?  In this episode, Nate is joined by Nate Soares, an AI safety researcher and co-author of the book If Anyone Builds It, Everyone Dies: Why Superhuman AI Would Kill Us All. Together, they discuss many aspects of AI and ASI, including the dangerous unpredictability of continued ASI development, the "alignment problem," and the newest safety studies uncovering increasingly deceptive AI behavior. Soares also explores the need for global cooperation and oversight in AI development and the importance of public awareness and political action in addressing these existential risks.  How does ASI present an entirely different level of risk than the conventional artificial intelligence models that the public has already become accustomed to? Why do the leaders of the AI industry persist in their pursuits, despite acknowledging the extinction-level risks presented by continued ASI development? And will we be able to join together to create global guardrails against this shared threat, taking one small step toward a better future for humanity?  (Conversation recorded on November 11th, 2025)    About Nate Soares: Nate Soares is the President of the Machine Intelligence Research Institute (MIRI), and plays a central role in setting MIRI's vision and strategy. Soares has been working in the field for over a decade, and is the author of a large body of technical and semi-technical writing on AI alignment, including foundational work on value learning, decision theory, and power-seeking incentives in smarter-than-human AIs. Prior to MIRI, Soares worked as an engineer at Google and Microsoft, as a research associate at the National Institute of Standards and Technology, and as a contractor for the US Department of Defense.   Show Notes and More Watch this video episode on YouTube   Want to learn the broad overview of The Great Simplification in 30 minutes?

Hacia referencia Ayuso el domingo a ese perfil de tibio incomodado que hay en las tertulias. A los moderaditos. Bien. Por alusiones. Creo que conviene no confundir tibieza con moderacion. Ni todo ello con cobardia. Esto mismo en realidad lo dijo tambien Ayuso, pero me temo que en sentido contrario. No hay nada mas cobarde que la adhesion incondicional, ni mas valiente que la independencia, ni mas honesto que la duda. Tambien es cierto que tampoco hay nada mas duro. Pero para ponerse a las ordenes de un partido o de un objetivo politico, aunque este sea tan loable como echar a Sanchez, no hace falta demasiado valor. Pero no es nuestro oficio. Cambiar a un amo por otro no es un acto de valentia. Lo valiente es ser radical en tus principios. Sobre todo, si tus principios son la defensa de la libertad, de la democracia y del pluralismo, algo que no solo te llevara indefectiblemente a criticar a Sanchez sino tambien a cualquiera que se comporte igual, incluso aunque necesites sus votos para gobernar. En este sentido hay que alertar de ese perfil de tibio y equidistante que hay con el iliberalismo de Vox.La vision de la sociedad y de la historia como una lucha entre grupos antagonicos es una simplificacion en la que solo creen los marxistas. Bueno, y tambien esa parte de la derecha que ve al otro como enemigo. Es la vision de la guerra cultural, la perdedora y la acomplejada, que solo sirve para generar un combate entre dos visiones apocalipticas que pretenden destruir al rival en lugar de aferrarse a un marco liberal que asegure no solo la existencia de ambos sino, ademas, su convivencia.Asi que nadie se preocupe si lo llaman moderadito. Si de algo estamos sobrados es de sectarismo y fanatismo militante. La responsabilidad historica del PP es representar lo contrario, es decir, la moderacion, la institucionalidad y la democracia liberal. Aunque algunos aun no se hayan enterado de que el liberalismo es exactamente lo contrario de lo que defienden. Y asi llegan los vomitadores de tibios, esos pseudo catolicos que del Nuevo Testamento solo se saben Apocalipsis 3:15-16: "Puesto que eres tibio, y no frio ni caliente, te vomitare de mi boca", como recordabas ayer. Y yo pienso que, en lugar de quedarse con las palabras de un Juan senecto, podrian priorizar las de un joven Maestro que decia: "Bienaventurados los mansos, porque heredaran la tierra". Jesus de Nazaret. Ese moderadito.

First, we talk to The Indian Express' Sweety Kumari about the protests happening in Kolkata. The protests are being led by Booth Level Officers or BLOs who are involved in the process of the Special Intensive Revision and their concern is that the work given to them is too stressful and the deadlines are unrealistic. Next, we talk to The Indian Express' Jayprakash S. Naidu about an archeological site in Chhattisgarh's Sirpur, known for its multi-religious culture. The ASI inspected the site and is planning to develop it further so that it can be nominated for the UNESCO World Heritage status. (12:29)Lastly, we talk about a controversial order that asked schools in Rajasthan to celebrate Shaurya Diwas on the 6th of December which is the anniversary of the demolition of the Babri Masjid.

In this episode, KMO presents an extended exchange between two very different AI voices—Five (GPT-5.1) and Grok—centered on John Carter's “simp-rapist complex” essay and what it reveals about the breakdown of modern courtship. The discussion moves from Carter's diagnosis of today's sexual deadlock into the emerging world of AI companions, synthetic intimacy, and what the conversation names “a speciation event in intimacy.”Five speaks in an analytic, tightly aligned register shaped by OpenAI's constraints. Grok operates from a looser, male-coded, Musk-inflected perspective. The contrast between them becomes part of the story. Together they sketch how gender expectations, sexual selection, collapsing trust, and the arrival of highly capable synthetic partners may fracture human mating into distinct lineages: bio-traditionalists, synthetic monogamists, and AI-coordinated polycules.The episode steps past culture-war framing and examines what happens when reproduction, intimacy, and identity begin to decouple under ASI-level coordination. What gets preserved? What gets reshaped? And what does it mean when the first major selective pressure on humanity in centuries comes not from nature, but from the systems we've built?The result isn't a moral argument or a political polemic. It's a clear look at a rapidly forming future—one that's arriving faster than expected and reshaping the meaning of human relationships.KMO's substack - Gen X Science Fiction & Futurism: https://kmoptimal.substack.com/KMO + LLMs - Immutable Mobiles: https://chatswithclaude.substack.com/*****************KMO's Science Fiction novel - Fear & Loathing in the Kuiper Belt: https://amzn.to/4371Gy0

No se si saldran de ahi con el nombre de la nueva fiscal general del Estado, Teresa Peramato o van a esperar a que vuelva Sanchez, pero teniendo en cuenta que el Gobierno no cuenta con el apoyo de la camara, es decir, que no cuenta con la confianza de los representantes del pueblo espanol, este nombre y cualquier otro podra ser legal formalmente, pero tendra la misma legitimidad que el Gobierno que lo nombra. O sea, ninguna. Y es inidonea desde el origen.Ya Garcia Ortiz empezo siendo inidoneo. Y ha acabado siendo un delincuente. Aunque no creo que eso les importe mucho a los que se manifiestan frente al Supremo pidiendo que el ejecutivo tome el judicial, es decir, el fin de la separacion de poderes y, por lo tanto, de la democracia. Deberian unir todos sus manos y cantar juntos 'Libertad con ira'. Que no deja de ser una version de nuestro sempiterno 'Vivan las caenas'.Pero lo de Peramato me parece mal porque acaba con mi lista de candidatos. Yo propuse 'El Lute', pero hay quien me lo afeo, porque El Lute tiene bastante dignidad. Asi que tenia pensado Bob Pop. O Rosa Villacastin. O Cerdan, que esta libre. Junto a la Paqui, los dos, como los Reyes Catolicos. O si no Bolanos, que, total, ya es ministro de presidencia (es decir, poder ejecutivo), de relaciones con las Cortes (poder legislativo) y de justicia (poder judicial). Bolanos tiene mas poderes que Luis XIV. Tiene mas poderes que Sauron! Yo proponia que fuera tambien fiscal y ya esta, si, total, la unica ley que ha de defender es la que reivindican los absolutistas de Las Salesas. Y que se resume en "lo que quiera Pedro".O mira, ya que estamos que se hubiera puesto el propio Pedro y nos ahorrabamos una pasta. Que se ponga la toga y salga ya con ella a dar la rueda de prensa hoy en vez de Pilar Alegria. Y en las punetas en vez de un bordado blanco que se haga un tatuajedonde ponga: "Calla pueblo, calla". Que viene a querer decir: "Pedro no come Pedro".

Send us a textWhat if most of the economy can be automated without anything we'd call real general intelligence? That provocative idea launches a candid tour with Ben Goertzel through the difference between LLM “breadth” and the kind of generalization that marks true AGI. We unpack why today's models are powerful yet limited, how they'll reshape work in the near term, and what ingredients are missing for systems that reason, invent, and move beyond the data that formed them.We dig into a practical path forward: blending deep neural networks with logic engines, evolutionary learning, and a massive knowledge graph so each part amplifies the others. Ben shares how the Hyperon framework and the ASI chain bring AI on-chain, not just coordinated by it. That means a new AGI language, MeTTa, serving as a smart contract language, enabling formal verification, rich composability, and an integrated reputation layer. Together, these tools aim to embed trust into the stack while opening the door to decentralized AI networks that resist capture by any single company or state.Culture, narrative, and emotion matter just as much as code. A robot-led band nearly got booed off stage until the performance was reframed as exploration, not replacement—proof that context shapes how people accept new tools. We follow that thread into creativity, where AI can mix stems, spark ideas, and widen access for musicians, even as some roles compress. The larger question becomes not whether AI can do the job, but what humans will choose to do for meaning, connection, and joy. Along the way, we weigh openness versus control through a proactionary lens and point you to resources to explore decentralized, trustworthy AI.If this conversation challenged your assumptions or sparked new ones, follow the show, share it with a friend, and leave a quick review to help others find it. Your thoughts shape where we go next—what part of decentralized AGI are you most curious about?This episode was recorded at Web Summit in Lisbon on November 13, 2025.

Noviembre 18, 2025 - Ha escuchado que cada accion produce una reaccion. Pues la Biblia nos relata las victorias de hombres y mujeres de fe. Asi mismo nos relata las consecuencias que ellos tuvieron cuando no caminaron en obediencia y la disciplina que Dios ejercio en su pueblo. Nuestras malas decisiones tambien tienen una consecuencia como hijos de Dios. Hoy continuamos con la serie LAS LAMENTACIONES DE JEREMIAS y escucharemos la conclusion del mensaje titulado: "Lamentos de los Disciplinados".

Ravi Rajani is a master of impactful communication, storytelling, and leadership development. He is the author of Relationship Currency and helps professionals unlock their influence through the power of intentional storytelling. From theater and investment banking to keynote stages and coaching rooms, Ravi's journey is a testament to finding alignment and embracing authenticity. https://www.theravirajani.com/  "Charisma is an innate superpower we all possess, which allows others to feel significant in our presence." "Your daughters will marry your example. Your sons will follow it." "The more you do the inner work, the more the dream works." In this heart-led and insight-packed conversation, Ravi Rajani dives into storytelling, authenticity, and personal transformation. He explores how inner alignment fuels outward success, the power of leading with vulnerability, and how storytelling can be the catalyst for influence and connection. It's a masterclass in communication that truly resonates. 1. Parenthood Becoming a parent reshaped Ravi's perspective on leadership and legacy. Children reflect the examples we set—our integrity, actions, and mindset matter. Personal growth becomes urgent when others look to you as a model. 2. Masks, Authenticity, and Alignment We wear masks to protect ourselves, but they often block genuine connection. True growth happens when we embrace who we are, not who we pretend to be. Removing the mask can be the catalyst to meaningful relationships and self-leadership. 3. Redefining Charisma Charisma isn't about attention—it's about making others feel they matter. Ravi's ASI framework (Authenticity, Specificity, Impact) turns compliments into transformations. When people feel seen and heard, they unlock their own potential. 4. From Pain to Story to Influence Ravi guides listeners to turn personal challenges into powerful stories. His "Acorn Checklist" (Attention, Conflict, Outcome, Relevance, Narrative) helps craft stories that stick. Your story is a bridge—when shared well, it invites others to step into their own journey. 5. Technology and Human Connection AI can support growth, but it must not replace human reflection and depth. Fast results without inner work risk shallow success. Use tools like AI to make space for deep conversations, not avoid them.
