Sarah and Simon team up for another week to bring you the latest in the parkrun world. There are roving reports from Lyndell at Highfields, Ruth at Pont y Bala and Heather from Taree parkrun. There's mention of a rodeo, lots of launches, endemic species and let's not forget a tongue twister or few.

The penultimate Matchday in LaLiga proved to to be dramatic and decisive in a ten-game multi-match thriller!Matt Clark (@MattClark_08) and Paco Polit (@pacopolitENG) recap it all and decipher what it all means for the table and the ramifications.Villarreal went to the newly-crowned champions and got the win they needed to secure a coveted return to the Champions League. Barça didn't mind losing this one, as they were in full fiesta mode to receive the title trophy and say farewell to Montjuïc.Betis waved goodbye to their chances with a heavy defeat at Atlético, but their final is the Conference League next week. Julián Álvarez shone once again as compatriot Ángel Correa got a heavenly send-off of his own.Kylian Mbappé kept on scoring as Real Madrid beat nine-man Sevilla. All eyes are firmly on the Xabi Alonso reign now, as the signing of Dean Huijsen was also confirmed this weekend.In the European race, Rayo came from behind to win a massive six-pointer at Balaídos. Celta will be kicking themselves because it was all in their hands to qualify here, but they let their first chance slip. Osasuna beat Espanyol to stay in the hunt too: two teams will make Europe, one will miss out next week.At the bottom, Alavés and Getafe secured their respective statuses with narrow wins, but Espanyol must sweat another week after suffering a fifth consecutive defeat. From what looked like safety has become a shoot-out.Leganés maintained their survival hopes with a win at recently doomed Las Palmas. Both Lega and Espanyol face home games against Segunda-bound sides, so the drama is sure to be cranked up next weekend.Lastly, we salute Imanol Alguacil as he waved goodbye to his public with a win, sadly roo rare for Real Sociedad this season. Fittingly, Mikel Oyarzabal was on the scoresheet from the spot, while a youngster scored the winner. Imanol's tenure and legacy in a neat nutshell.With more to play for, keep up to speed by subscribing at lllonline.substack.com. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

En pleno proceso electoral, Veracruz vuelve a ser escenario de violencia política. La reciente ejecución de Yesenia Lara, candidata a la alcaldía de Texistepec en Veracruz, junto a otras cuatro personas —incluida la hija de un policía municipal— pone en evidencia una constante que se repite en cada elección local: el crimen organizado no solo influye, sino que decide quién vive, quién muere y quién puede contender.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Natalie Holloway, founder of Bala, joins us Elizabeth week to share her incredible journey from advertising executive to redefining fitness accessories with one of the most recognizable wellness brands today. After meeting her now husband and co-founder while working at an ad agency, Natalie made a bold decision to step away from corporate life to create something new. What started as an idea during a yoga class while traveling turned into Bala—a company that quickly captured the attention of Shark Tank investors Mark Cuban and Maria Sharapova, and grew from two million to twenty million dollars in just one year.In this episode, Natalie talks about the power of slowing down to create space for big ideas, learning hard lessons around growth and delegation, and her approach to building a brand that marries fashion, functionality, and fitness. She also shares her favorite Bala products, her go-to wellness rituals as a busy mom, and what it really looks like to evolve personally and professionally while leading with intention. Episodes Here Say Hi To Elizabeth and Purely Elizabeth: Website | InstagramBala: Website | Instagram - Balacize | Instagram - Bala  Mentioned: Fuze House Skinny Confidential Mouth Tape VI02 tape   Votary LMNT Electrolyte

In a candid episode of The New Stack Makers, Kubernetes pioneer Kelsey Hightower and AWS's Eswar Bala explored the evolving relationship between enterprise cloud providers and open source software at KubeCon+CloudNativeCon London. Hightower highlighted open source's origins as a grassroots movement challenging big vendors, and shared how it gave people—especially those without traditional tech credentials—a way into the industry. Recalling his own journey, Hightower emphasized that open source empowered individuals through contribution over credentials.Bala traced the early development of Kubernetes and his own transition from building container orchestration systems to launching AWS's Elastic Kubernetes Service (EKS), driven by growing customer demand. The discussion, recorded at KubeCon + CloudNativeCon Europe, touched on how open source is now central to enterprise cloud strategies, with AWS not only contributing but creating projects like Karpenter, Cedar, and Kro.Both speakers agreed that open source's collaborative model—where companies build in public and customers drive innovation—has reshaped the cloud ecosystem, turning former tensions into partnerships built on community-driven progress.Learn more from The New Stack about the relationship between enterprise cloud providers and open source software:The Metamorphosis of Open Source: An Industry in TransitionThe Complex Relationship Between Cloud Providers and Open SourceHow Open Source Has Turned the Tables on Enterprise SoftwareJoin our community of newsletter subscribers to stay on top of the news and at the top of your game.

Después de que el diario 'El Mundo' publicara en la mañana de este lunes una serie de informaciones que apuntaban a la posible "manipulación de las puntuaciones" de las distintas sedes para el Mundial 2030, la noticia ha corrido como la pólvora. El Excel publicado por el medio señalaba como, en apenas 48 horas, las puntuaciones del Estadio de Balaídos y del Anoeta Reale Arena cambiaban: el campo del Celta pasaba a quedar fuera de los elegidos y el donostiarra entraba en la lista, generando la indignación del alcalde de Vigo, Abel Caballero, que ya ha pedido explicaciones a la RFEF.

Welcome to the Financial Freedom & Wealth Trailblazers Podcast! In today's episode, we're diving into the biggest financial pitfalls even the wealthiest professionals face—and how you can avoid them.Bala Mangia is a Financial Reinvention Expert who transformed his own money story—and now helps others do the same. Growing up with little money and facing tough financial times, he learned the realities of money through the school of hard knocks. He went to college to study movies, not finances, yet the phrases “we can't afford it” and “we don't have enough” were the soundtrack of his youth. His perspective shifted dramatically when a book by Kevin O'Leary on the 50 common money mistakes challenged those beliefs and set him on a path of transformation.Today, Bala blends smart strategy with a deep mindset shift to help people heal past financial wounds and build a future of clarity and confidence. He guides others in rewriting their financial narrative, turning limiting beliefs into a foundation for growth and success.Connect with Bala Here: @bala_pkshttps://www.facebook.com/freddy.mangiahttps://www.linkedin.com/in/bala-mangia/Grab the freebie here: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1cvbb0nU4x5KJ6-gRZHSZtHsKdeMDo1tSSbpwAnPLClM/edit?usp=sharing===================================If you enjoyed this episode, remember to hit the like button and subscribe.
