Bratislava 26. júla (Teraz.sk) – Predseda vlády, ktorý by sám dlhodobo vetoval rozhodnutie všetkých ostatných členských štátov Európskej únie, sa ešte nenarodil. Slovenský premiér Robert Fico (Smer-SD) pri rokovaniach o protiruských sankciách „naťahoval čas“, aby získal od Európskej komisie garancie pomoci pri riešení definitívneho odstrihnutia Slovenska od ruského plynu, ale napokon, podľa očakávaní, schválenie 18. balíčka protiruských sankcií umožnil. V TASR TV to povedal publicista Juraj Hrabko. . Pri svojej zdržiavacej taktike podľa Hrabka premiér využil aj kritické vyhlásenia slovenskej opozície, ktorej umožnil vopred zaujať stanovisko k listu predsedníčky Európskej komisie (EK) Ursuly von der Leyenovej s ponukou garancií. „Tie garancie nemôžu byť iné ako politické, takže politické garancie tam sú,“ upozornil Hrabko...

V TASR TV to povedal europoslanec a predseda hnutia Republika Milan Uhrík. . Rada Európskej únie v piatok (18.7.) oficiálne prijala 18. balík sankcií proti Rusku, ktorý predtým schválili stáli predstavitelia členských štátov v Bruseli. „Sankcie určite nepomáhajú ruskej ekonomike, aj keď tá sa potom viac preorientováva na Čínu, ale poškodzujú aj európsku ekonomiku a uvrhávajú nás do recesie. A rozhodne nie sú riešením vojenského konfliktu na Ukrajine,“ reagoval Uhrík...

He shares a moment of panic when he thought he lost his expensive SLR camera and how, instead of spiraling into stress and ruining the trip, he chose peace. This unexpected act of mindfulness—of staying present despite looming loss—sparks a conversation about growth, mindset, and how long-term success as a creator is deeply tied to emotional resilience.Lee and Russell explore how years of professional challenges—from losing companies to surviving chaotic launches—have reshaped how Russell views control, money, and creative life. They touch on themes like letting go of perfection, managing emotional responses, and focusing on what's truly in your control.This episode isn't just a travel tale—it's a powerful metaphor for author life. Sometimes, you have to trust the process, accept uncertainty, and keep moving forward.Takeaways:* Emotional growth is a key part of author success.* You don't need to control every outcome to enjoy the moment.* Losing something can be an opportunity to gain perspective.

Slovensku by sa zišiel realitný zákon, hovorí šéf realitnej siete RE/MAX Ján Hrubý

Aký je rozdiel medzi realitným trhom v Česku a na Slovensku? V čom sa líši prístup k realitným kanceláriám u našich českých susedov a prečo stále nemáme na Slovensku realitný zákon? Odpovede na tieto otázky sme hľadali s výkonným riaditeľom najväčšej realitnej siete na Slovensku a v Česku RE/MAX, ktorá oslavuje 20 rokov svojho pôsobenia, Janom Hrubým.V podcaste sa dozviete: aký je rozdiel medzi českým a slovenským realitným trhom, prečo na Slovensku potrebujeme realitný zákon alebo reguláciu pre maklérov, čo ovplyvňuje výstavbu nehnuteľností na Slovensku a v Česku, aká je dostupnosť bývania v Česku a na Slovensku, prečo Slováci a Česi potrebujú vlastniť nehnuteľnosti, v čom sú iní českí a slovenskí realitní makléri, prečo pre realitnú kanceláriu RE/MAX pracuje viac ako 1600 maklérov, ako sa dá otvoriť v rámci realitnej siete RE/MAX frančíza, čo by priniesol realitný zákon na Slovensko a ako by sa zvýšila prestíž realitným maklérov.Rozdiely medzi českým a slovenským realitným trhomMedzi slovenským a českým realitným trhom nie sú podľa Jana Hrubého dramatické rozdiely, ako by sa mohlo zdať. „V Česku sa predá ročne zhruba 100 tisíc nehnuteľností a na Slovensku sa predá ročne zhruba 30 tisíc nehnuteľností, čo samozrejme ukazuje, že sú tam určité rozdiely. Nehnuteľnosti v Českej republike sa predávajú trošku rýchlejším tempom. Otázka ale je, či sa dá nazvať tempo obrátkovosti nehnuteľnosti 40 – 50 rokov, čo je plus mínus doba, za ktorú sa predá jedna nehnuteľnosť. Na Slovensku to bude o niečo viac,“ hovorí v podcaste Nehnuteľnosti.sk Ján Hrubý.Čo je iné medzi Českom a Slovenskom je situácia s hlavnými mestami. „Na Slovensku sú väčšie rozdiely medzi Bratislavou a zvyškom republiky. V Česku síce máme Prahu, no mestá ako Hradec Králové, Plzeň či Olomouc nie sú v takom závese ako ostatné slovenské mestá za Bratislavou. Keď sa pozrieme na cenovú hladinu nehnuteľností, ktorá sa väčšinou berie ako taká berná minca, ak nebudem komentovať index dostupnosti bývania, tak sa hovorí, že väčšina nehnuteľností v mestách mimo Prahy, tak sú približne na polovici ceny v porovnaní s Prahou. Ak by sme porovnali Bratislavu a niektoré iné mestá, tak sa dostaneme na pomer 3:1. Takže Bratislava vyčnieva ešte viac a tým pádom z pohľadu nejakej potenciálnej migrácie obyvateľstva a mobility, tak je situácia na Slovensku zložitejšia,“ vysvetľuje Hrubý v podcaste Nehnuteľnosti.sk. Zároveň zdôraznil, že Praha je extrémne medzinárodným mestom. Kumuluje sa tam zahraničný kapitál, žijú tam ľudia z celej Európy, no nestavia sa tam tak, ako by bolo potrebné, čo rovnako platí ale aj pre Slovensko.Na Slovensku chýba realitný zákon, prispel by k prestíži maklérovNa Slovensku stále chýba realitný zákon, ktorý by určoval podmienky, ktoré musí realitný maklér spĺňať, aby mohol vykonávať svoju profesiu. Ján Hrubý v podcaste spomenul, že sa snažili o presadenie regulácie realitného trhu v Česku. Nie v zmysle nejakých zákazov, ale aby sa stanovili minimálne podmienky pre vstup do tejto profesie. „Historicky maklér potreboval k výkonu svojej práce voľnú živnosť, tak ako je tomu dnes na Slovensku. A nám sa podarilo docieliť, že došlo k zmene a človek, ktorý chce dnes pracovať ako maklér v Českej republike, tak musí splniť zákonom stanovené požiadavky – štátnu skúšku. A keď ju spraví, tak až vtedy získa viazanú živnosť. Takže toto je zásadný rozdiel pri vstupe do tohto odvetvia, ktoré je veľmi citlivé z pohľadu hodnoty, ktorú spravuje a predáva maklér.Veľmi často ľudia cez makléra riešia nehnuteľnosti, ktoré predstavujú ich celoživotné úspory. A v tomto prípade chcete mať istotu, že to robíte s niekým, kto tomu rozumie, má na to vzdelanie, adekvátnu poistku a kto zaistí, že peniaze skončia tam, kde majú. Prípadne sa vyhnete rizikám s...

Publixing - Slovenské a české audioknihy

Vitajte v Bratislave, kde sa vôňa lacnej kávy mieša s pachom starých panelákov, kde sa v uličkách zažívajú tie najbláznivejšie dobrodružstvá a kde sa aj obyčajný výťah dokáže zmeniť na bránu do vesmíru. Boris Filan vám naservíruje audioknihu, ktorá je ako Bratislava sama – trochu hrubá, trochu nostalgická, občas krásne absurdná a vždy plná života. "Bratislavské krutosti" sú kaleidoskopom príbehov, ktoré plynú od veselých detských spomienok na staré ulice, cez drsné bitky medzi chlapčenskými bandami, až po tragikomické príhody zo života obyvateľov mesta. Audiokniha je plná láskavého humoru, šťavnatých dialógov a poetických odbočiek. Nechýba ani nostalgiou nasiaknutý pohľad na časy, keď bol svet jednoduchší, ale zároveň divokejší. Filan vám ukáže Bratislavu, ktorá vonia gitom, benzínom a rascovou polievkou, kde bol každý uličník tak trochu hrdina a každá facka v detstve mala svoju váhu. Je to spoveď človeka, ktorý vie, že život je hlavne o pohybe – po starých korzách, pod balkónmi plnými života a cez spomienky, ktoré chutia sladko aj horko naraz. Toto nie je len kniha, je to jazda plná zábavy, lásky a tých najkrajších krutostí, ktoré si na nás Bratislava dokáže vymyslieť.

In this fun and free 5 day summer workshop, you'll… ⭐ Learn about 5 fabulous short story options from me (plus SO MANY others from the thousands of other teachers at camp!) ⭐ Walk through 5 creative out-of-their-seats and/or outside-the-box short story lessons (bye bye, comprehension questions) ⭐ Take away 5 classroom-ready curriculum kits for next year (hello, major time-savers!) Each day's materials are designed to take just 10 minutes to peruse, and they come straight to your email so you can join us day by day or, if you're busy (or still teaching), catch up later.
