El aniversario de esta semana nos lleva a recordar a uno de los grandes genios de la historia del cine. Este 4 de octubre se han cumplido 130 años del nacimiento de Buster Keaton y en este episodio os contamos su historia. También tenemos aniversario en el cine español, los 30 años que se cumplen del estreno de “Nadie hablará de nosotras cuando hayamos muerto” de Agustín Díaz Yanes. Charlamos con el director Antonio Vicent a punto de estrenar su primera película, “Aves de corral”, y en la sección “En pos de la aventura” Jack Bourbon ha elegido esta semana “La princesa prometida” de Rob Reiner, una de las películas más idolatradas de los años 80.

Sanidad ha confirmado el brote de gripe aviar que causó la muerte de las aves en Sevilla y ya hay once focos activos en Andalucía. Espacios públicos como la Plaza de España o el Real Alcázar han cerrado de forma temporal, por lo que se mantiene activado el protocolo habitual. Manuel Fernández Zurbarán, director general de Salud Pública de la Junta de Andalucía, ha asegurado en el informativo '24 Horas de RNE' que no están preocupados porque "la transmisión de ave a humanos se produce de manera muy rara, muy ocasional".Sobre el procedimiento en estos casos, Francisco Moreno, secretario general UPA Córdoba, ha explicado que "dependiendo de la gravedad, lo primero que se hace es establecer el protocolo, aislar la granja y, si fuera necesario, sacrificar a todas las aves", pero, sobre todo, hace un llamamiento a la tranquilidad. Aunque, algo que preocupa es la posible llegada del virus a las puertas del Parque Nacional de Doñana, un ecosistema que alberga una diversidad única en Europa. Jorge Orueta, responsable de conservación de Especies de SEO/BirdLife: "En los medios acuáticos el virus sobrevive más tiempo, afecta a aves ligadas a especies que frecuentan estos medios y a sus depredadores".

Barcelona Principles 2025: What PR Pros Need to Measure Now (Episode 310) Episode Summary In episode 310 of That Solo Life, hosts Karen Swim, APR, and Michelle Kane break down the latest update to the Barcelona Principles and what it means for independent PR and communications pros. They cover the shift toward outcomes that matter to the C-suite, the stronger alignment with AMEC's Integrated Evaluation Framework, the role of qualitative and quantitative data, and why leveling up in measurement and AI will separate thriving practitioners from the rest. You'll walk away with practical next steps, resources, and a nudge to price your expertise for the true value you deliver. Keywords: Barcelona Principles 2025, AMEC framework, PR measurement, qualitative and quantitative metrics, AI in PR, PR outcomes, stakeholder sentiment, media relations, solo PR pricing, communications strategy.

El mar, las playas y los acantilados ofrecen alicientes que en ocasiones no imaginamos. La observación de fauna marina, como ballenas y aves costeras, es una actividad para todas las edades que siempre sorprende. En la península ibérica y sus islas, las costas españolas y portuguesas brindan numerosas oportunidades para el turismo de naturaleza en el mar, especialmente en lugares como Tarifa, uno de los destinos más destacados para el avistamiento de aves y cetáceos.

How many of us are stuck playing media relations hits-and-misses while the real opportunities to drive business transformation seem to be just out of reach? In this episode of The Trending Communicator, host Dan Nestle sits down with Kristel Valaydon, founder of KV Communications, to explore her revolutionary Five Spheres of Connection framework and our capacity to transform PR into a leadership strategy. After 25 years in the industry and 15 years developing her approach, Kristel challenges the traditional view that PR is a marketing function. Instead, she positions communications as a business strategy that creates community around ambitious founders and forward-thinking teams. Their conversation digs into why most communications work is just broadcasting, how the fractured media landscape demands new approaches, and why AVEs (advertising value equivalents) need to disappear forever. Kristel shares insights from working with what she affectionately calls "rebels and misfits" – innovative leaders trying to shift minds, models, and markets while building genuine communities around their missions. What We Talk About: The Five Spheres of Connection: Visionaries, Trailblazers, Champions, Discoverers, and Pathfinders Why PR as media relations is only one-fifth of what communications professionals should be doing How community building differs from audience development and why it matters The evolution of media companies and the rise of niche, trade, and newsletter platforms Why founders and rebels need different communication strategies than Fortune 500 companies The role of AI as a research and strategy partner while maintaining human-first approaches Moving beyond AVEs and impressions to business-aligned measurement frameworks Notable Quotes On the Evolution of PR: "I came out into the real world of business and an agency and I just noticed for pretty much the duration it was media relations. It was very much focused on celebrity." - Kristel Valaydon [6:50 → 7:05] On Measuring PR Impact: "We're having those business conversations and discovering actually no one's measuring this. How are we measuring this? And as it turns out, what benefits are we giving the clients here?" - Kristel Valaydon [7:35 → 7:50] On Working with Rebels: "We call them rebels and misfits, but it's a term of endearment. They don't call themselves that at all, but they're so creative and innovative and they are trying something completely different." - Kristel Valaydon [9:10 → 9:25] On the Role of AI in Strategy: "I love AI from a strategic point of view. It's a strategic, you know, sort of sparring partner for me. It's really testing my ideas and really going, how can we make this better?" - Kristel Valaydon [59:00 → 59:10] On Challenging Clients: "We're in services. We're not in servitude, and we are the experts." - Kristel Valaydon [1:06:13 → 1:06:14] Resources and Links Dan Nestle Inquisitive Communications | WebsiteThe Trending Communicator | WebsiteCommunications Trends from Trending Communicators | Dan Nestle's SubstackDan Nestle | LinkedIn   Kristel Valaydon KV Communications | Website5 Spheres of Connection | KV Comms WebsiteKristel Valaydon | LinkedIn Timestamps 0:00 Intro: The future of communications 5:43 Kristel's journey from agency to entrepreneurship 11:29 Working with rebels and misfits as clients 18:51 How media companies are adapting to change 25:12 The five spheres of connection framework 34:28 Discoverers: Customers and early adopters 41:00 Pathfinders: External partnerships and media 46:43 Measuring success across the five spheres 53:05 Starting with an audit and prioritization 58:11 AI as an enabler for the five spheres 1:04:37 PR's role in building a better world (Notes co-created by Human Dan, Claude, and  Flowsend.ai ) Learn more about your ad choices.

Ya son las 4:49 a.m. Es hora de contar aves. Es mi séptimo año de hacer esta ruta del Conteo de Aves en Reproducción, una de más de 4000 rutas a lo largo de Estados Unidos y Canadá que hacen voluntarios como yo una mañana cada verano. Para muchas especies de aves que se reproducen en Norteamérica, este Conteo es nuestra mejor herramienta para observar cambios en sus poblaciones año tras año. La pajarera montanense Harriet Marble empezó esta ruta del Conteo en 1979 y la hizo anualmente durante los siguientes 37 años. Cada junio pienso en ella mientras sigo sus pasos. Ya tengo todo listo. Tengo mi cuaderno en la mano, el letrero del Conteo está pegado al parte trasera de mi carro. Mientras las alondras cornudas tintinean y la pradera trata de entrar en los bordes del trigo, pongo un alarma para tres minutos. ¡Ya!Esta historia se trata de mi ruta del Conteo de Aves en Reproducción entre los campos de trigo del Condado de Chouteau, Montana, EU: una historia de la agricultura industrial, declives de las aves de la pradera y toda la vida que sigue persistiendo frente a todo. Muchas gracias a Harriet Marble por compartir sus experiencias de muchas décadas en esta ruta.Este podcast destaca las voces de varias aves de la pradera que grabé yo: alondra cornuda (Eremophila alpestris), escribano pico grueso (Rhynchophanes mccownii), tordo sargento (Agelaius phoeniceus), perdiz pardilla (Perdix perdix), escribano collar castaño (Calcarius ornatus), gorrión alas blancas (Calamospiza melanocorys), gaviota de Franklin (Leucophaeus pipixcan) y monjita americana (Himantopus mexicanus).Como siempre, dependo del apoyo de mis oyentes para seguir con este proyecto. Favor de compartir estos podcasts, dejarme un rating y (si puedes) hacerme una cooperación a través de Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/wildwithnature. Muchísimas gracias!!!Puedes encontrar la versión escrita con la historia aquí, con muchas fotos del campo: https://wildwithnature.com/2025/07/01/trigo-industrial-aves-en-declive/

  Where in the world am I? Brazil planning Hi there. I'm Dr. Mary Travelbest, returning from a recent trip to Asia. I'm in San Diego now, sharing my best travel ideas and working on another book for you to enjoy: 5 Steps to Solo Travel, Part C. I'm about to launch on a 90-day trip around the world. Listener Story Spotlight I want to tell you about a listener named Juliana who is from Brazil. She was a student of mine and now she works with me. She gave me a list of all the places in Brazil that I should be going to.She and I have known each other for 3 years. She's so beautiful and full of life. I'm so grateful for. Quick fire FAQ: The FAQ for today is:  Should I carry books with me to read on the trip? I recommend you download them from your local or cloud library. Then you read on the go. Don't carry more than you need. 3 things: neighborhood selection, daylight itineraries, scam avoidance Select neighborhoods that are walkable and have public transportation nearby if you don't drive. Read reviews on the AirBNB website before you select. When booking a flight or train, be sure it arrives at a daylight time, which can differ in winter months. If it comes after dark, it will be more of a challenge for you.  To avoid scams, be cautious when choosing passwords, logging out of websites, and making online purchases. These are very typical scams. If you are suspicious, you may be right to avoid that vendor and choose another. Don't look like a target, either   Today's destination is: Brazil.
