En este capítulo, Bicameral regresa en una semana decisiva que marca el fin de una era legislativa, a pocos días del cambio de mando presidencial. Analizamos las tensas negociaciones para la conformación de las nuevas mesas del Senado y la Cámara de Diputados. El debate más polémico de la semana fue la aprobación en general de la moción que regula la suspensión y el cumplimiento alternativo de penas privativas de libertad (Boletín N° 17.370-17), que abrió la posibilidad de reclusión domiciliaria total para condenados por crímenes de lesa humanidad y delitos graves, generando una controversia inmediata y una ofensiva del Ejecutivo en contra.También abordamos la discusión en la Comisión de Relaciones Exteriores sobre la revocación de visas de EE.UU. a funcionarios chilenos y el polémico proyecto de cable submarino conocido como Chile-China Express. En este contexto, la Comisión de Hacienda despachó el proyecto de ley que busca crear un screening o apreciación estratégica de las inversiones extranjeras en sectores críticos y de seguridad nacional, inspirándose en modelos como el CFIUS de EE.UU. Además, revisamos el avance de iniciativas sobre la prohibición de llamadas telefónicas publicitarias no solicitadas y la creación de un sistema de negociación colectiva multinivel.
Our returning champion is Clive Cable, who was here a few weeks agotalking about his new book Neurocopy.As Nathan and I got to know Clive a little better, we found out he hasbeen doing a LOT with AI and copywriting that frankly we haven't seen anyoneelse do.For example, he has a story-lede generator that comes up with a big idea for asales letter or VSL, and then writes a unique story lede to start the piece.Clive's created a bot that writes like Gene Schwartz–but he only uses itto write the FIRST PART of a piece of copy. He has another bot that writesprobably the best kind of close he's ever seen.And he's taken research to a whole new level using AI.Beyond that, he's taken the late Chris Marlowe's brilliant 21 questionprocess for creating copy briefs, and automated it using AI.And there's even more.Clive is putting together an agency to help copywriters and companies,using his suite of AI tools, to do one of four things:1. Beat a control2. Do in-depth research3. Figure out why something's not working, and4. Write brand-new copy, right out of the box.We'll talk later about how you can reach out to Clive if you'd like tofind out more about what he's doing.But for now, you might want to know Clive got started as a door-to-doorsalesman, offering home improvement products and services for as much as$25,000 a pop–and closing an amazing two out of every three people he talkedto.He's also an experienced copywriter, and has generated over £40 million,which is over 50 million dollars, across 12 different industries.Clive also built a supplement company that generated £24,000 a month,selling products including colloidal silver, prebiotics and aerobic oxygen.We'll dig into what Clive's doing with his virtual AI copywriters.https://clivecable.com/
Lunes 09 de marzo: La recta final del gobierno del Presidente Gabriel Boric va a ser menos tensa tras el sorpresivo encuentro de ayer, pactado a última hora del sábado y que, tras alguna vacilación en el gobierno entrante, permitió un encuentro entre ambos presidentes que, más allá de sus resultados prácticos, le dio al país una señal de distensión bien necesaria.
These days people talk about neurochemicals a lot. Chemicals like dopamine, and cortisol, and the love chemical, oxytocin.I've always wondered how these chemicals are affected by copy, and how much it matters.So imagine my surprise when I discovered what our very special guest was doing! His name is Clive Cable, and he's not only written a book about this, he has a complete system to evaluate copy based on the neurochemistry the copy will cause, and the buying behavior that chemistry will lead to.The book is called Neurocopy, and it's the first systematic work I've ever seen that shows how copy stimulates certain chemicals, and how those chemicals make people want to buy.Clive is a trailblazer with his pioneering work. But I want to make it clear that he's not some ivory tower guy sitting in a white coat in a lab measuring blood levels of dopamine and endorphins with a clinical chemistry analyzer.No, Clive's one of us. He got started as a door-to-door salesman, offering home improvement products and services for as much as $25,000 a pop–and closing an amazing two out of every three people he talked to.He's also an experienced copywriter, and has generated over £40 million, which is over 50 million dollars, across 12 different industries.Clive also built a supplement company that generated £24,000 a month, selling products including colloidal silver, prebiotics and aerobic oxygen.All of which to say that nothing he says about the process of buying and selling is theoretical. He's lived it and he lives it.And he's a great salesperson!I can also say that after I read through his book, I started to feel the effects of cortisol, which is a feeling of high stress, right before high-stakes events, and the effects of endorphins, which is a feeling of relief and satisfaction, after those events ended well.There's a lot more to all this, as we'll find out today.Link to get Clive's new book, “Neurocopy”https://www.lulu.com/shop/clive-cable/neurocopy/paperback/product-w4qjdmn.html
This episode of the Peachtree Corners Life Podcast features Dr. Paul Cable, High School Principal at Greater Atlanta Christian School, and Stephen Carter, leader of the school's Business Innovation Program. The conversation explores how education is evolving beyond traditional classroom models to better prepare students for an unpredictable future.Key Themes from the Conversation 1. Education as a CallingBoth guests describe education as more than a profession—it's a form of ministry and service focused on shaping students as people, not simply transferring knowledge.2. Personalized Learning at GACRather than a rigid one-size-fits-all model, GAC emphasizes personalized experiences that help students pursue their individual passions and purpose. 3. Real-World Learning Through the Business Innovation ProgramA major example is the student-run Spartan Café, which operates as a real-world business laboratory where students handle:Customer serviceInventory and operationsProfit and loss statementsTeam collaboration and leadershipThis hands-on approach helps students understand why they are learning skills instead of questioning the relevance of classroom lessons. 4. Building “Agency” in StudentsThe program focuses on helping students develop agency, meaning they can:Set meaningful goalsGather resources to achieve themAsk for help when neededThis mindset prepares them for careers and challenges that don't yet exist.5. Responsible Use of AI in EducationThe guests discuss how schools must avoid two extremes: banning AI entirely or allowing it to replace real learning.Instead, GAC teaches students to use AI as a tool while maintaining human connection, creativity, and ethical responsibility.6. Confidence Through ExperienceDr. Cable shares a story of a shy student who gained confidence working at the Spartan Café—illustrating how hands-on programs can transform students by helping them discover their abilities.
Welcome back, cortexifans, to our fifth and final season! We are kicking things off a tad unconventionally by starting off season 5… with a season 4 episode! “Letters of Transit” was Fringe's whacky, out of the box 19th episode of season 4 and truly behaves as the backdoor premiere to season 5 which is why we ultimately decided to watch it and cover it that way. The post S5E1 Letters of Transit appeared first on Golden Spiral Media- Entertainment Podcasts, Technology Podcasts & More.
Something interesting happened today.Joe Biden made a public appearance… and suddenly the internet decided the last four years never happened.Cable news panels and political influencers immediately started telling Americans how “presidential” Biden looked simply for walking into a room and shaking a few hands.But tonight on Throwback Thursday, we're bringing receipts.Because if Americans forget what actually happened during the Biden presidency… someone will try to convince them it never did.Tonight we revisit the Biden Years:• The censorship era and the Disinformation Governance Board• Corporate America's DEI obsession and cultural insanity• Inflation that hit the highest levels in 40 years• Gas prices that made commuting feel like a luxury purchase• The Afghanistan withdrawal disaster• The Ukraine war and global instability• The Chinese spy balloon crossing the United States• Record border crossings and overwhelmed cities• And of course… the presidential gaffes that the media pretended not to seeBecause memory matters.If a country forgets what just happened… it becomes very easy to repeat it.This episode of The Last Gay Conservative is a reminder of what America actually lived through — and why remembering it matters.00:00 Cold Open – Biden's “Presidential” Appearance02:30 Show Intro05:20 Segment 1 – Culture & Censorship07:10 The Disinformation Governance Board09:30 Big Tech and Government Censorship12:30 The DEI Corporate Era16:30 Pronouns and Cultural Enforcement20:45 Segment 2 – The Biden Economy22:00 Inflation Hits 40-Year High25:10 Grocery Prices and Shrinkflation27:30 Gas Prices Surge29:45 Housing Market Shock31:50 Recession Definition Controversy34:00 Segment 3 – Global Chaos35:20 Afghanistan Collapse38:30 Ukraine War Begins41:30 Chinese Spy Balloon Incident43:20 Border Crisis and Record Crossings47:10 Segment 4 – The “Presidential” Years48:10 Biden Gaffes and Media Double Standards50:30 Trump vs Biden Leadership Contrast53:00 Lockdowns and Pandemic Aftermath56:30 Reagan Reminder58:30 Episode Close#BidenYears#ThrowbackThursday#Politics#ConservativePodcast#LastGayConservative

A sólo ocho días del cambio de mando presidencial en el país se dio por quebrado el proceso de traspaso de mando coordinado entre el gobierno entrante, del derechista José Antonio Kast, y la administración del presidente de izquierdas Gabriel Boric.
La disputa por el cable submarino transpacífico dejó de ser un asunto técnico para transformarse en una señal del nuevo escenario global. En un mundo marcado por la rivalidad estratégica entre Estados Unidos y China, las decisiones de infraestructura digital se vuelven decisiones geopolíticas. Chile, históricamente abierto al comercio con múltiples socios, enfrenta un dilema creciente: cada proyecto, inversión o alianza tecnológica puede interpretarse como un alineamiento. El debate sobre el cable expone una pregunta mayor para la política exterior chilena: ¿es posible seguir siendo un socio económico de todos cuando las grandes potencias exigen definiciones?

War in Iran continues — and the fellas are not holding back. Does Iran have a Navy or just expensive toys? And why do Democrats suddenly sound like they don't know what they believe? Josh Holmes, Comfortably Smug, Michael Duncan, and John Ashbrook jump straight into the politics of war. The fellas break down what the Iran operation signals about American power, why the isolationist panic might be missing the point, and how the left keeps getting the messaging wrong. From Chuck Schumer confusion to House Democrat word salads, it's a masterclass in political incoherence. Then it's off to Texas — where John Cornyn shocks the field, Ken Paxton gears up for a runoff, and Jasmine Crockett flames out in spectacular fashion. What does it mean for 2026? Who's up? Who's cooked? Special Guest: NASA Administrator Jared Isaacman

Energy’s brightest innovators. This is the Progress Powering Tomorrow. Allen Hall: Peter, welcome to the program. Peter Giddings: Thanks for having me out. Allen Hall: The UK right now is just a global leader in offshore wind, which I think a, a lot of us in the United States don’t even realize that, but the UK is a. Giant leader in offshore wind. Uh, but we keep hearing about the supply chain constraints that are threatening some of the timelines here. What are some of the fundamental problems that the UK offshore wind supply chain has today? Peter Giddings: We are in a great situation for supply chain, but the 2000 companies, some of them with 25 years experience. At the scale where we can deliver the four gigawatts a year for the next five years that we need to hit our 2030 deployment targets and to keep that deployment rolling. So we are [00:01:00] brilliant at the UK of planning, developing and deploying wind farms. We have a really strong maintenance base. We do some great supply chain work, and IWGP Offshore Wind Growth Partnership has helped those businesses grow, but we don’t have as much capacity as we would like. For the major items. So we have a great set of facilities making blades. We have good facilities, uh, great facilities in JDR making cables, but we don’t capture as much of the manufacturing value of our deployment as we would like. That means we create fewer jobs, we create less economic benefit, and those developers are exposed to more supply chain risk. Specifically, we want to build globally competitive supply chain capacity. We, we we’re, we’re not a charity. We are building businesses that can win contracts. They are attractive to the procurement teams and they’re sustainable, they grow, right? Competitive capacity is what we’re after. Um, and that’s, that’s really what [00:02:00] we’re after. Allen Hall: And if the UK doesn’t really address these problems now, what does that look like for the supply chain? Because you’re talking about moving from roughly 16. Gigawatts in the water to approximately 50 gigawatts, 45, 50 gigawatts by 2030 and beyond. So that’s, you know, it’s roughly a tripling of the amount of capacity in the water supply chain becomes then really critical to that and in order to feed that. But what happens here, if the supply chain has not grown locally, Peter Giddings: it’s a missed opportunity. I mean, the businesses that are here today would be an incremental growth. And that’s not bad. That’s an okay outcome. But if your deployment is a huge opportunity and you get an okay outcome, that’s not acceptable. That’s not a way to run an industry, right? We have this massive opportunity in front of us. There’s a huge amount that we could do that the UK is great at that the opportunity is to stretch [00:03:00] and help communities all around the coast have. Hundreds, thousands of jobs that are there. They’re stable, they’re good quality, and they are prosperous. It’s a real community initiative. Those towns, which are probably seeing a decline in oil and gas revenue or are strapped to tourism or kind of don’t have an industry, those towns, those people as humans are gonna have a much better future. There’s a, actually a really nice exemplar, um, it’s not. The biggest component, but Cable protection Systems is something that the UK is already globally renowned for. If you open up a tender pack, if you’re allowed to in other markets kind of anywhere, and you look to the CPS package, you would more than likely see a couple of, if not all four of CRP techmark, sub C and Balmoral, right? They, they serve the UK market real well, but they are globally renowned. [00:04:00]That’s, that’s one example. We are looking to do that for the priority sections of the industrial growth plan. You know, we’re going to pick and are picking the areas of the supply chain where we think the UK can be genuinely competitive and we have something to offer. A developer is not gonna choose a substandard product that’s a bit more expensive, but we can build up supply chains that offer fantastic products. Cable protection systems, and we can capture big market share there. Develop a product that can be exported, or if it’s a bit too far to ship, develop a business which can open up a new base. You know, so we, we get that, um, combination of local demand being served. And when I say local, I mean like the North Sea in Baltic and that global opportunity. So it’s, but it’s not gonna be everything. You know, people might. I might get a little bit heat for this, but [00:05:00] if you spread the jam too thin, it doesn’t taste very good. You haven’t committed to win a few things rather than come second and third everywhere. We have to choose what we win at. Allen Hall: Let’s get into the industrial growth plan, ’cause I wanna understand that a little bit better and how OWGP. Fits in that as the delivery body. Right? So you have this industrial growth plan, OWGP is, is sort of administering it and, and taking action on it. How does this system work and, and why is it different than other attempts at supply chain development? Peter Giddings: Uh, a couple of years ago, 2023, um, most of the major institutional stakeholders came together and said, oh, that we see this big opportunity coming. We want to make sure that the UK benefits from having all that deployment. So if you’ve got a bunch of demand and you [00:06:00] don’t have much supply, you don’t have as much supply as you want, that’s an obvious gap to fill. And the Crown of State, the Crown of State Scotland, the departments from government, the Offshore Wind Industry Council, a consortium of developers in the uk, uh, came together. Um. And funded a piece of work that allowed, um, a team to bring in lots of industry input. Look at what the big opportunities were in the market. So where is there substantial value? Where is there substantial demand? And match that up to where does the UK have capability and where could we grow a competitive advantage? So. What prizes are worth winning? What prizes can we win? And we’ve matched those up and there’s kind of five priority areas that we’ve selected. Um, it’s kind of the first things we’re gonna go after. Um, [00:07:00] they’re, they’re quite broad, those five. It’s advanced turbine technologies, deep water foundations, cable and electrical systems, uh, smart environmental services, and, uh, smart operations and maintenance. If you kind of open those boxes up, there are some very specific supply chains that are prioritized. So I’ll take the one that, uh, is the first one that we’re looking at. Advanced turbine technology. Uh, we talked just before we started recording, um, that the UK has real strength in blades. Blades is a big opportunity. We have a really well established composite industry. We have a great facility up in Hull. We have an r and d base and an onshore, um, factory on the isle of White with Vestas. And I think the thing we don’t really say is we have chief engineer for blades of Vestas in the UK structures lead. The r and d team is 140 strong down on the island [00:08:00] and we have a really productive facility in Hull. Um. That is putting product out, has been making, um, recyclable blades, is making the one 15. We have depth, so it’s a good opportunity. We have strength, we have a massive innovation ecosystem, so that’s a really obvious win. And we’ve been through the rest of the supply chain taking cables, good capacity, excellent experience from oil and gas, and so that’s a priority area. Okay. Going through those supply chains, finding big opportunities that the UK has, the ability to win contracts in, and then mapping out what do you need to do to make that capacity happen? How much capacity, at what cost, with what performance? And that’s, that’s kind of the OWGP role is owning that plan, bringing input from industry, [00:09:00] bringing input from experts. Turning the ambition of we want to have the ability to supply 50% of UK demand and export into a tangible plan of, cool, these businesses need this investment by this time to stand up a facility so they’re ready. It’s not just a blade factory. Right. That’s, um, that’s important. It’s the 20 businesses that sell product, that sell services into that. We talk about pyramids, right? You’ve got one facility at the top and a big wide base with lots of people who are employed in that big wide base. And I think, you know, it’s natural. Everybody looks to the top of the mountain. We’re looking to build the whole thing, and that’s a really powerful reason for industries to stay for the long term. So I think tracking back to your [00:10:00] question. What’s our role? We own that plan. We bring together the expertise and convert it into a set of measurable steps really. And that kind of second part is coordinate. Everybody needs to be playing the same game, aiming at the same targets. And that’s a really important part. Allen Hall: Well, I think for a lot of people outside the UK, it’s hard to envision the amount of industry that exists. In the UK you’re about 70 million people, so you’re roughly maybe a quarter of the population size of the United States roughly. But you’re, you, you have internal industries there and other areas that have that supply chain growth. So you’ve watched it in aerospace, which is one I’m familiar with, but in other industries, you, automobiles and a number of other areas, uh, you have that supply chain. So you know how to, the UK knows how to do that, but, but that hasn’t really necessarily happened in offshore wind, which I think is where the [00:11:00] opportunity is because I think watching. Being around this industry for as long as I have. One of the key elements is that, uh, the, the smaller businesses are sort of tier twos or tier threes that make the tier ones possible are kind of forgotten about. But the UK historically has looked at tier two and tier three as being the fundamentals to a successful product delivery and, and a, a global marketplace. Is, is that where the initial focus is? Because just listening to. And going to your website, uh, which I encourage everybody to do, you see where there’s smart decisions being made to create that base and what does that look like? And when you’re trying to attack that base on offshore wind, obviously cables and turbine technology, anything to do basically with being in the water, which the UK is great at. Do you see that being a relatively quick exercise because the UK has done it before in other industries? Or [00:12:00] is this problem just a little bit different because of the scale of it? Peter Giddings: It’s really similar to, uh, the way supply chain’s been supported in aerospace, for example. Um, the Airbus has a deep supply chain in the UK and has a very strong voice into government. Their supply chain is supported. They’ve built that base. Um, and so from the outcome, that’s gonna be pretty similar? I think so. We, we have a template. I’ve worked in aerospace, many colleagues, um, that we’re, we’re calling on have, um, I guess the difference is, uh, maturity of industry. So the developers are very mature businesses. They’re global. They have been big for time. They know how to do supply chain development from oil and gas, where you build enormous unicorns. Exactly. Once, [00:13:00] then move on. You know, an oil and gas project is, is a one time deal. It’s tremendous, but you don’t have to make a hundred of them and it’s slightly different. So you end up with a, a single point, and if you are. Experience and your, um, relationship with government sits with developers that can create some really, um, it, it takes time to build up your supply chain so that they have the same experience of running, um, large development programs. They have the stability as businesses to kind of build through. It’s really important to remember that turbine OEMs and the tier ones haven’t had 30 years of stable business modeling wind. Because 30 years ago, wind wasn’t really a big industry, right? They have had plenty of success scaling their business, and we’re just entering the phase now where you can, um, pretty credibly say that wind is [00:14:00] a global business with a long-term future. And it needs to find the right way for those OEMs, those big tier one manufacturing businesses to support their business in the long term. That is, I would say quite new. Um, hopefully I don’t get pilled for saying that, but Airbus, spin Airbus for 2, 3, 4 generations. Right. So they know their game. Same with roles, same with, you know, Nissan and Toyota. It’s, it’s gonna take a little minute for the manufacturing part of the wind industry to settle and learn what works. We think OWGP and our partners, GB Energy, crown State, we think. We have a good starter for 10. You know, it’s modeled off what we’ve done in other industries. It provides stability, provides capital and a plan. I think that’s a really good mix. Um, [00:15:00] and I think it’ll just take a bit of time to mature those relationships and get everybody comfortable. Um, the developers have been really supportive. The OWGP money comes from. A developer contribution. So they are playing their part. Absolutely they are. We need to find the right way for manufacturing businesses to scale and then start pumping in innovations into that capacity so it stays competitive. You know, it’s a build capacity that’s competitive today. Feed it with innovation so it stays competitive and gets better and better and better. Allen Hall: How far off the technology chain do you want them to be before you consider them to be part of the supply chain Peter Giddings: today? Uh, 21st of January, 2026. There is good money for people that are within about a year of getting their technology to market. So that’s the, the approximate. Um, you’ll notice I dodge TRLI don’t think it’s super helpful. Um, time to market is, uh, is, is [00:16:00] really a good indicator. Yeah. Alan’s, give me the thumbs up of someone that’s done a TRL assessment or two. Um, we, we are looking for businesses that are commercially. Viable. They have relationships with customers. Um, they’re trading the earliest currently, and it’s currently, um, is like a year, maybe two years to market at the outside and up, um, we’re working with. And so that’s not just OWGP, that’s across the funding streams that are available. Um, and there are many we are working with and hopeful in the next week or two to have, um. A positive result from the UK government on earlier stage innovation funding so that we can align the early stage innovation at the problems that really count for making businesses competitive. You know, to be super clear, that’s not gonna be OWGP Cash. Our hope is that it’s OWGP derived questions [00:17:00] delivered by the innovation institute’s offshore renewable energy catapult, the high value manufacturing catapults. Academia, innovative businesses. Those guys do the innovation and we work together with them and with industry to really find the questions that count and we can focus our attention on commercializing that and scaling up the things that are commercial. Allen Hall: Peter, walk us through how a UK supply chain company actually engages with OWGP. Uh, what does that. Uh, look like. And what are the, sort of the different options to, to engage with OWGP? Peter Giddings: So I, I think the first thing to say is you, you don’t have to be UK today. We would love to attract businesses from overseas. Um, you can start a UK entity quite quickly. The first people, first place people tend to engage is in our, um, business, uh, support services. So we help, uh, businesses orientate themselves commercially. Understand how the contracting works, understand who [00:18:00] their, their pot potential customers are. Um, and that’s, yeah, it’s on our website. It’s Business Transformation Services, the West Program, wind Expert Services. There’s a t in there, there’s something else. Um, but that’s really the entry point for businesses that need to orientate themselves in the UK market. And we, and that. Intensity and the, the depth of the commercial support kind of ramps up through base and up to sig sharing in growth. Um, and you’ll also see us in the next year or two, um, take a, a more proactive approach to supporting businesses commercially. Um, I’m actually down with a, a fantastic business in the blade supply chain, um, composite integration in Saltash, helping them build a strategic, um, business plan. So a little more than just going, oh, this is where you get your contract. Actually helping them model what a future bigger business would look like and what they will need to do to, to reach it. You know, commercial support is growing for us. I think it could be really important, right? It’s [00:19:00] new for us, so, you know, we’ll learn. But the first point of call, go to the website, get in touch with the team, um, and often people choose that commercial support, the business transformation. We also run grant funding. Um, we have innovation calls. Um, we have a whole range of different calls going from innovation up to development into Dev X. So manufacturing, um, facility support program, they’re all grant. You can choose to pay them back. You do need to be UK entity, but you need to be quite close to market that one to two year zone with commercial traction. Um, and again, information is available. There is a team of people. Who are really great at taking those triaging, figuring out what’s right for you, what’s not, and if it’s not something from us, we do and we are delighted to pass you on to other people. You know, if you talk to us, we will make sure you find a home.[00:20:00] I think that’s really important to say. Allen Hall: I think that’s very critical and one of the more difficult. Periods for, uh, it’s a smaller company to become bigger and be part of this massive supply chain, is that sort of 1 million pound, the 5 million pound kind of business, which has a technology which has proven itself and is delivering something or very close to delivering something. That transition is incredibly hard and getting some help there and some advice even would make the transition so much shorter and more efficient than what it typically is. That’s what OWGP does. So it’s not just the money. Obviously money helps everything generally. It’s the context, it’s the advice, it’s the knowledge that, uh, OWGP brings to the table that helps you grow your technology, your small business, into that mid-tier business and takes that mid-tier business into that gigantic world leader business. Those are the things that are, [00:21:00] are so hard to quantify, to put some, uh, some people in place. Boy, OWGP can really ramp up and has, the UK in general has done this many, many times. So I, I, I just encourage everybody who’s listening to this podcast to think about OWGP as a contact point and reach out. And Peter, how can they do that? What are the first steps to contact OWGP? Peter Giddings: It’s always best to come in through our website. So my contact details will be in the, um, in the show notes, but you, you can look at the different programs there are contact US buttons all over it. Um, it also gives you sight of the industrial growth plan, um, and the priority areas. We are trying where we can to focus our efforts on those priority areas, and we would absolutely be delighted to hear from businesses active in the IGB priorities. Um, if you are, if you are not in one of those, you’re not excluded, come talk to us and we, we are supporting ambitious [00:22:00] businesses. We’re just focusing most of our efforts on the ones that are aligned to priority. We’re, we’re on your team. We would like to hear from you. Um, yeah, do, do start with the website. Hit one of the contact buttons you’ll come into to one of the team and we will connect you in. Um, I think that’s probably the, the best way Allen Hall: and the website is ow gp.org.uk. Very easy to get to. You can just Google it and it’ll come right up. There’s a ton of information on that website. Peter, thank you so much for being on the podcast. I really appreciate this. Learned a lot and very excited for what the UK is about to do. Peter Giddings: I’m looking forward to talking to you again.
Sobre el quiebre la fractura entre la Administración Boric y la futura Administración Kast equipo, que marca el inicio de una auditoría administrativa, además de los preparativos del Presidente electo para una cita clave con Donald Trump (y sus implicancias), Iván Valenzuela conversó con las editoras Angélica Bulnes y Andrea Vial en un nuevo Rat Pack de Mesa Central.
El presidente electo de Chile, José Antonio Kast, puso fin a las reuniones de transición con el gobierno del saliente Gabriel Boric tras acusarlo de no compartir información sobre un proyecto de cable submarino chino. Boric aseguró que es "falso" que Kast no haya sido informado y dijo, incluso, que el 18 de febrero informó al mandatario electo que había recibido amenazas de EE. UU. por la tramitación de este proyecto de ruta digital que uniría a Hong Kong con Valparaíso. La construcción de un cable de fibra óptica que une a Asia con los países de América Latina a través de Chile se ha convertido en un nudo gordiano para el traspaso de mando del próximo 11 de marzo. Según Ignacio Walker, ex ministro de Exteriores de Chile, la idea de esta nueva ruta transpacífica para ampliar y diversificar la cobertura fue propuesta hace diez años por el gobierno de Michelle Bachelet a multinacionales chinas, pero desde entonces el cable se ha ido enredando. Walker recuerda que se trata de 19.000 kilómetros y de una inversión de unos 500 millones de dólares. “Esto se interrumpió en el gobierno del presidente Sebastián Piñera cuando la visita del entonces secretario de Estado, Mike Pompeo a Chile, hizo ver el inconveniente desde el punto de vista de Estados Unidos de este cable submarino y se detuvo su tramitación”, explica. El proyecto volvió con el gobierno del presidente Gabriel Boric. “Pero lo que ocurrió es que ahora, en noviembre, estas dos empresas chinas solicitan una concesión al Gobierno de Chile y en dos meses se firmó un decreto el 27 de enero otorgando esa concesión. Esto es el punto de partida, no es el punto final”. El ex ministro detalla que quedaban otros trámites legales y administrativos. “Pero fue muy extraño esta suerte de ‘fast track' que no se supo, que trascendió en un medio de prensa. Entonces, claramente ha habido un manejo poco prolijo de parte del gobierno del presidente Boric. No puede ser que en un proyecto de tanta envergadura exista esta suerte de ‘fast track', cuando el problema con los proyectos de inversión en Chile es al revés: el mucho tiempo que toma años y años aprobar proyectos por estudios de impacto ambiental”. Los gobiernos de Estados Unidos se han opuesto a este proyecto entre China y Chile. Según la administración Trump, se trata de un proyecto que socava la seguridad regional y bajo este argumento revocó en febrero, a pocos días del traspaso de mando, los visados de tres funcionarios chilenos, entre ellos el ministro de Transporte y Telecomunicaciones. “Esto fue visto con malos ojos, con razón, por el gobierno del presidente Boric. El ministro de Transporte es muy respetado transversalmente. Por supuesto que hay una exageración de parte de Estados Unidos porque nunca ha podido señalar en qué consiste este detrimento de la seguridad regional. Chile es una economía abierta de mercado que no discrimina entre los inversionistas extranjeros. Entonces, esto demuestra que estamos geopolíticamente hablando en el mundo en una confrontación entre Estados Unidos y China y que en la era Trump tú o estás con ellos o estás con nosotros. Eso también le va a tocar al próximo gobierno”, asevera Walker. Cabe precisar que este proyecto de cable submarino a cargo de la multinacional china móvil todavía está en etapa de evaluación.
En Columnistas de Mesa Central, Iván Valenzuela y Kike Mujica conversaron con Allan Álvarez y Rodrigo Álvarez sobre la fractura durante el periodo de traspaso de gobierno, a partir de la información entregada sobre el cable submarino chino.
Representantes de la oposición cuestionaron la postura del Presidente Gabriel Boric en medio del quiebre del proceso de traspaso de mando con José Antonio Kast ante una supuesta falta de entrega de información sobre el cable submarino chino. En El Primer Café, la secretaria general de la UDI, María José Hoffmann, dijo que "queda la sensación de que el Presidente Boric ha tratado de involucrar de alguna manera en esta mala puesta en escena al Presidente Kast (...) es una niñada del Presidente Boric que es bastante imperdonable".

Caden and Patrick run Cable Family Farm in Piedmont, North Carolina, where they manage a small 80 bed no-till market garden along with pasture-raised eggs and chickens. Caden started the farm at 18, and then a few years later was able to convince Patrick to join him. Their main concern starting the farm was how would they make money? This tour shows how they produce their crops and animals in a healthy, sustainable way, along with their marketing and production approach to creating a viable small-scale farm production. It was fascinating and productive to hear from these young farmers how they approach farming, why their not organic, the systems they run to stay viable and efficient, and understanding why they chose this career path over everything else (hint, farming food can be incredibly meaningful).

En Columnistas de Mesa Central, Iván Valenzuela y Kike Mujica conversaron con Isabel Plá y Tatiana Klima sobre la fracasada reunión entre Gabriel Boric y José Antonio Kast, a raíz de las distintas versiones respecto del cable submarino con China.
En una nueva edición de Página 13, Consuelo Saavedra y Kike Mujica conversaron con las columnistas Andrea Vial y Paula Comandari sobre la experiencia internacional de cables submarinos, tras la polémica por el proyecto que busca conectar Hong Kong y Valparaíso. Además, comentaron lo que reveló el informe interno de Codelco respecto del accidente en El Teniente.
Buenos días. ¿Alguien miente? ¿Quién dice la verdad? ¿Versiones a medias? Es de esperar que el “cara a cara” que tendrá este martes el Presidente Boric con el Presidente electo Kast ayude a aclarar el entuerto del cable chino. Para las 8:00 horas de hoy está previsto que comience la esperada bilateral, que ayer sumó más condimentos. En entrevista con Mega, el Mandatario dijo que su gobierno ha actuado con transparencia. “Hablé con el Presidente electo semanas antes de que esto fuera una polémica, para transmitirle mi percepción respecto al asunto y ya que Estados Unidos había ya manifestado estas amenazas. Le dije que quería conversar sobre específicamente el cable submarino, porque me parecía que es una decisión delicada, dada la situación geopolítica”. Estas aseveraciones fueron desmentidas por el futuro ministro del Interior, Claudio Alvarado: “El Presidente electo nunca fue informado ni tuvo conocimiento de esta situación que dice relación con el cable chino, por lo tanto acá no hubo información y no se transparentó nada sobre el particular”. Complejo escenario… en un contexto internacional cada vez más inestable.

I thought I had it all figured out. I'd driven that route dozens of times. I knew exactly where I was going. I didn't need any help. So I turned off the GPS and relied on my own knowledge and experience. And that's exactly when things went sideways. Sometimes I turned it off too early and ended up heading the wrong direction. Other times I turned it on too late and missed my opportunity to avoid trouble altogether. In both cases, the problem was the same. I thought I knew better. I thought I could handle it on my own.

En una nueva edición de Página 13, Consuelo Saavedra y Kike Mujica conversaron con los columnistas Ascanio Cavallo y Rocío Montes sobre las tensiones por el cable submarino que busca conectar Chile con China. Además, comentaron el último Día Internacional de la Mujer que se conmemora el 8 de marzo del Gobierno del Presidente Gabriel Boric.
Buenos días. El “cablegate” está lejos de terminar. Ante la falta de información precisa y completa por parte de la actual administración, el Presidente electo José Antonio Kast -junto a un grupo de quienes serán sus ministros- llegará a La Moneda para reunirse con el Presidente Boric la próxima semana. Se espera que en la ocasión las futuras autoridades tengan toda la información del polémico proyecto del cable Chile-China y todas las gestiones que ha desarrollado el Ejecutivo. No sólo Transportes está involucrado en la materia, existen nuevos antecedentes del rol que habría jugado de Defensa. De este modo, a prácticamente diez días del cambio de mando, la crisis se tomó la agenda y poco y nada se habla de balances y legado del gobierno que termina.
Can the truth be both our salvation and our damnation, depending on how desperately we need to escape ourselves? "Nervous Man in a Four Dollar Room" follows small-time hood Jackie Rhoades as he confronts his reflection in a mirror that forces him to face his true self and choose between continuing his criminal life or finding redemption. Meanwhile, "The Whole Truth" centers on a used car salesman who acquires a cursed car that compels anyone who owns it to tell nothing but the absolute truth, ultimately destroying his dishonest livelihood and forcing him to confront his own moral bankruptcy.

Buenos días. Aumenta la tensión entre el gobierno saliente de Boric y el entrante de Kast. La información por “goteo” que las actuales autoridades han entregado del polémico caso del cable submarino Chile-China se suma a que La Moneda tratara de endosarle la responsabilidad a la administración que asume en marzo. En ese contexto se entendería que el futuro ministro de Transportes y Telecomunicaciones no asistiera a una nueva bilateral con el actual jefe de la cartera que se encuentra en medio de la polémica. A este escenario se suma otro capítulo en la tirante relación izquierda-derecha: la ex Presidenta Michelle Bachelet no asistirá al cambio de mando el 11 de marzo. Esta situación, como relata hoy El Líbero, es vista como un desaire al Presidente electo y como un aviso de que la ex Mandataria llevará adelante su candidatura a la secretaría general de Naciones Unidas independiente del respaldo que pueda darle la administración de Kast.
This week on Cleaning Up, host Bryony Worthington sits down with investor and energy strategist Laurent Segalen, co-host of the Redefining Energy podcast, for a sweeping conversation that spans carbon markets, uranium trading, battery innovation, and Laurent's bold plan to connect Canada and Europe with a 5,000km subsea electricity cable. Laurent shares the personal moments that shaped his obsession with energy security, from witnessing Cold War division in Germany to cleaning an oil spill off the beaches of Brittany, and how those experiences led him to the heart of Europe's carbon trading system and into high-stakes commodity markets. Along the way, Laurent recounts: How he became becoming one of the most profitable uranium traders on the market The financial mechanics behind interconnectors, and why east-west cables make money Why sodium batteries could reshape grid storage His experience designing carbon markets, and whether they are working or not. At the centre of the discussion is NATO-L (North Atlantic Transmission One Link): an audacious proposal to link Canadian hydro and wind to European markets through ultra-high-voltage subsea cables. Leadership Circle: Cleaning Up is supported by the Leadership Circle, and its founding members: Actis, Alcazar Energy, Davidson Kempner, EcoPragma Capital, EDP, Eurelectric, the Gilardini Foundation, KKR, National Grid, Octopus Energy, Quadrature Climate Foundation, Schneider Electric, SDCL and Wärtsilä.

Cable ops are going with FTTP in most greenfield buildouts, but a new report from cable industry vet Jay Rolls suggests that some operators are pivoting to fiber in legacy HFC areas, too. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
Buenos días. No terminan de ser, a lo menos, erráticas las explicaciones del gobierno sobre la polémica generada por el cable submarino Chile-China. Hablaron de defender la soberanía ante las sanciones tomadas por Estados Unidos contra funcionarios del gobierno; dijeron que estaban sorprendidos por el actuar de la administración Trump; reiteraron que el proyecto estaba en una etapa de evaluación… hasta que El Mercurio dio a conocer que el ministro de Transportes había firmado un decreto aprobando la concesión del cable chino, es decir, la decisión política estaba tomada. Aunque horas después fue anulado, ya la explicaciones del comienzo poco servían, claramente no era sólo una evaluación. Pero anoche en su cuenta de X, el Presidente Gabriel Boric volvió con esa versión… y entregando la responsabilidad al nuevo gobierno : “El proyecto de cable submarino presentado por una empresa de origen chino está en evaluación siguiendo la institucionalidad que nuestro país tiene ante iniciativas de estas características. Durante el proceso he instruido a todas las autoridades sectoriales recabar los antecedentes necesarios para tomar una decisión fundada, que por cierto excede en plazos a nuestro mandato y deberá ser continuada o desechada por las próximas autoridades”. Antes de esta declaración, el Presidente electo José Antonio Kast ya había pedido que La Moneda aclarara esta trama que podría tener nuevos giros.
Heroes have been a part of American pop culture for decades. We've seen them come to life on the pages of comic books and movie screens, and heard them sung about by some of our favorite musical artists. Songs by David Bowie and Foo Fighters are some of my favorites, but I think Mariah Carey's song about heroes is probably the best one to match up with today's story.

En Columnistas de Mesa Central, Iván Valenzuela y Kike Mujica conversaron con Allan Álvarez y Pablo Ortúzar sobre las relaciones de Chile con Estados Unidos y China, a raíz de la sanción del gobierno norteamericano a tres funcionarios del Ministerio de Transportes.
Buenos días. La revocación de visas estadounidenses a funcionarios de gobierno, a raíz de la negociación del cable submarino entre China y Chile, siguió generando repercusiones durante el fin de semana. En medio de la controversia, la Oficina del Presidente Electo (OPE) confirmó que José Antonio Kast viajará a Estados Unidos el próximo 7 de marzo para participar en la cumbre Shield of the Americas, que se realizará en Miami. Allí, sin embargo, el foco estará puesto en otro tema: la inmigración ilegal y el nuevo escenario que plantea Venezuela. En paralelo, otra discusión que marcará la semana —más allá del Festival de Viña del Mar— estará en las reacciones a la defensa que hizo el exministro de Hacienda, Mario Marcel, de la gestión fiscal del actual gobierno, junto con sus críticas a los recortes anunciados por Kast, a los que calificó de tener un “sesgo ideológico”. Según la encuesta semanal de Cadem, el 40% considera que esta será la medida económica más relevante de la nueva administración, pero también la más compleja de implementar.

Who doesn't love a good Comcast rant? My wife and I moved over the holidays – but this story starts way before that. We couldn't do Fiber internet in our old house for technical reasons, so we reluctantly switched over to Comcast and Xfinity. At the time, we were both working from home – and we BLEW through the data limits for their residential service. I figured it was all of these live podcast recordings, uploads, and downloads. Turns out, it was her being on Microsoft Teams calls all day. At any rate, we had to upgrade to a Comcast Business account. Fine. In December, we were fortunate in that we had a couple weeks of overlap, where we were still in the old house, but transitioning into the new house. So I called Comcast, and explained I needed the service in BOTH locations. The sales rep seemed OK with that, but told me to contact him as soon as the new service was installed, so he could try and keep up all my discounts, which were unusually high, in his estimation. I emphasized, DO NOT TURN OFF SERVICE to the old house when the new house is turned on. Cut to December 18th – my birthday, no less. I spent the entire afternoon at the new house, waiting for the install. The older gentleman tested the line and told me the connection wasn't great. So he climbed the utility pole in our new neighbors' yard, and ran a coax line across the top of their fence, and ours, into our house. Turns out, our electricity line is underground here – great for a storm – bad when the cable company has to, by law, follow that line. So they opened a ticket to have someone come out and bury the line once the ground thawed. Meanwhile, there's a giant red coax cable strung across our neighbors' yard (fortunately they are super nice), and ours. Cable comes on, and my wife calls from the old house – sure enough, they turned the service off, over there. What followed was 15 minutes of me cussing out an automated system at Comcast, because it was after hours. Finally, I get a human being, overseas, who tells me to unplug it and reset it. I explain, no, it's not a technical issue – it's a YOU issue. “Oh I'm sorry, you'll have to call back after 7am.” Uh, no. This may be a first world problem, but I have too much stuff in my house that relies on the internet to have it off overnight due to your incompetence. I said it a little nicer than that. Miraculously, they turned it back on. First bill comes – for FIVE HUNDRED DOLLARS. This includes the install (fine), and two months of service – at $50 per month more than I'd paid all last year. That's the straw that broke the camel's back. I called AT&T about fiber. They came in at $80 per month cheaper, no data limits, and excellent customer service. Not to mention they are symmetrical – their upload speed matches their download speed. I'm doing more video for my podcast clients – and an hour podcast, at 1080p resolution can be around 6 Gigabites. To upload a file of that size would take an hour on Comcast. With AT&T, it's usually a few minutes. SOLD. So I cancel Comcast. But in the interest of being a good neighbor, I need to get the cable removed from their yard and ours. Dead end, after dead end on phone, and chat. I'm pretty sure, Comcast having the monopoly that they do – the system is designed to get you frustrated and just give up. But then my good friend Diane entered the picture. She told me there's a REDDIT thread for Comcast support. And she suspects the agents that are too good for the phone and chat get “banished” there. It's some sort of secret society. Long story short – I posted about the issue. A moderator DM'ed me, and despite a few hiccups, eventually someone came and removed the line. So THAT problem was solved. That only leaves the bill. Reddit couldn't help me there because once I admitted it was a business account, they very quickly said “not it!” On January 15th when I cancelled the service, they had the audacity to tell me I was past my 30 day cancellation window. I told them no, I spent my BIRTHDAY on the 18th waiting around for your installer. So they processed the cancellation. Look, I'm a reasonable person. I don't expect a refund for the installation, nor do I expect to get my money back for the first month of service that I used. But I damn well better get my money back for the second month of service that was NOT used. They told me to wait until the February 14th bill to see the refund. I got the Feb 14th bill – and have a credit OF…18 dollars and 18 cents. Still no refund for month 2. So I tried the chat – oh you have to call our retention department – which sounds like AI but I think is a person. After 30 minutes on the phone, I come to find out – they are insisting I'm was out of my 30 day window on the cancellation because even though the install was on the 18th, the CONTRACT started on the 15th. They waived my cancellation fee as a COURTESY. How nice. As for the refund on the second month of service – when I went back over the fine print of the cancellation document I signed – it said the cancellation will take 30 DAYS to process and I'm responsible for those charges. You win, Comcast. I'm tapping out. When you own your own business, you have to think about what your time is worth. And even though I wanted to die on this hill, I can't spend any more time fighting for $150. But I sure can post this rant on the internet and hope a bunch of people see it. It's the equivalent of the strongly worded letters my parents taught me to write in the 80s. I will say though – if you are stuck in Comcast or Xfinity automation hell – try Reddit. You might find a diamond in the rough. And a note for podcasters – fish where the fish are. Leave no stone unturned for where your audience might be hanging out on the internet. Next on my to do list – trying to get money back from Verizon. They charged me for an ipad I traded in – for 14 months after I no longer had the device. Wish me luck.

These days people talk about neurochemicals a lot. Chemicals like dopamine, and cortisol, and the love chemical, oxytocin. I've always wondered how these chemicals are affected by copy, and how much it matters. So imagine my surprise when I discovered what our very special guest was doing! His name is Clive Cable, and he's not only written a book about this, he has a complete system to evaluate copy based on the neurochemistry the copy will cause, and the buying behavior that chemistry will lead to. The book is called Neurocopy, and it's the first systematic work I've ever seen that shows how copy stimulates certain chemicals, and how those chemicals make people want to buy. Clive is a trailblazer with his pioneering work. But I want to make it clear that he's not some ivory tower guy sitting in a white coat in a lab measuring blood levels of dopamine and endorphins with a clinical chemistry analyzer. No, Clive's one of us. He got started as a door-to-door salesman, offering home improvement products and services for as much as $25,000 a pop–and closing an amazing two out of every three people he talked to. He's also an experienced copywriter, and has generated over £40 million, which is over 50 million dollars, across 12 different industries. Clive also built a supplement company that generated £24,000 a month, selling products including colloidal silver, prebiotics and aerobic oxygen. All of which to say that nothing he says about the process of buying and selling is theoretical. He's lived it and he lives it. And he's a great salesperson! I can also say that after I read through his book, I started to feel the effects of cortisol, which is a feeling of high stress, right before high-stakes events, and the effects of endorphins, which is a feeling of relief and satisfaction, after those events ended well. There's a lot more to all this, as we'll find out today. Link to get Clive's new book, “Neurocopy” https://www.lulu.com/shop/clive-cable/neurocopy/paperback/product-w4qjdmn.html Download.
There's something disarming about simple honesty. When someone messes up and immediately says, "I'm sorry. This was my fault. Here's what happened, and here's how I'm going to make it right," it stops the blame game before it starts. It shifts the conversation from finger-pointing to problem-solving. It builds trust instead of eroding it. The post SILY 685- The Honesty Advantage appeared first on Golden Spiral Media- Entertainment Podcasts, Technology Podcasts & More.
