While many of the leaks were true, does this card measure up to its competition and will it drive further loyalty.

Starting off hot with two updates in doping cases: first, Jannik Sinner has rehired one of the men responsible for the clostebol contamination. In Tara Moore's case, CAS ruled that the actual beef was legitimate, but the figurative beef with the ITIA, sadly, was not. The DC tournament had outsized buzz this year, thanks to Venus Williams' wild card and surprising performance, owner Mark Ein's boosterism for DC-area tennis, Fernandez's impressive run, and de Minaur's late-stage heroics. Later, we touch on the Canadian Open, coaching drama, some big local retirements, and answer a few fun listener questions.  01:30 Sinner rehires fitness coach Ferrara after a year in timeout  10:35 Tara Moore's case concludes with a 4-year ban 14:20 She's still The Venus Williams 30:25 de Minaur wins a heartbreaker against ADF 33:55 Leylah Fernandez wins biggest career title (+ scheduling complaint in Montreal) 39:50 Canadians in the Canadian Open: retirements, withdrawals, but at least Mboko remains standing! 46:30 Coaching changes: two “supercoaches” constantly putting themselves in the talk 51:30 Listener questions: Toronto recs 57:50 Tournament essentials 62:25 An FMK like no other

Ne costă peste 250.000 euro (SpotMedia)De ce întârzie cu orele trenurile din România? Pentru că proiectele feroviare întârzie cu anii. Studiu de caz: ruta Cluj-Oradea (Europa Liberă)  Prin cazul Anastasiu, liderii din business sunt avertizaţi direct să nu se bage în politică (Ziarul Financiar) După cazul Dragoş Anastasiu, care s-a  soldat cu execuţia în numai trei zile a vicepremierului, înainte să înceapă vreo reformă, viaţa îşi urmează cursul, comentează în ZF jurnalistul Cristian Hostiuc, director editoarial al publicației. Până la urmă, execuţia în direct a lui Anastasiu, unul dintre cei mai cunoscuţi lideri din business, a fost şi este un avertisment direct pentru liderii de business din sectorul privat să stea în banca lor, că poate fiecare are câte un “schelet” prin dulap, de care a uitat. Liderii din business, aşa cum au fost şi pe vremea lui Cioloş, nu sunt deloc bineveniţi în politica sistemului de stat. Acum, că vicepremierul Dragoş Anastasiu şi-a dat demisia, să vedem câteva teme economice care sunt pe masă: - se reîntorc pe piaţă miliardele de euro care au plecat în criza politică, dar  - băncile din România au expunere mult prea mare pe piaţa titlurilor de stat, - bomba arieratelor, adică datoriilor ştiute şi neştiute, poate exploda în orice moment,  - fără stabilitate politică suntem terminaţi. Dragoș Anastasiu a dat „șpagă de supraviețuire” timp de 8 ani, a denunțat și a mutat activitatea pe altă firmă, iar anul următor a vândut afacerea unui mare grup german. „Era o afacere de 150 de milioane de euro” (HotNews) Tranzacția s-a realizat prin mutarea activității de turism de la firma Touring Europabus Romania, cea care a dat șpagă, pe o altă firmă, Travel Brands, înființată în 2018. În 2019, Anastasiu a vândut toată afacerea de turism către grupul german REWE, care în acel an avea o cifră de afaceri de 55 de miliarde de euro și deține marca de turism Dertour. Vicepremierul Dragoș Anastasiu a spus la conferința de presă de duminică, 27 iulie, în care și-a anunțat demisia din Guvern, că șpaga care se dă în România se divide în ”șpagă de supraviețuire” și ”șpagă de îmbogățire”. Despre el, Anastasiu a spus că a dat ”șpagă de supraviețuire”. În anul 2009, trei funcționari ANAF au primit sarcină să controleze Touring Europabus Romania. Controlul a afirmat că a descoperit la firmă nereguli la neplata de către companie a taxelor și impozitelor pe salarii, potrivit judecătorilor care a condamnat pe principala autoare a controlului, pentru că a luat mită ca să nu consemneze neregulile și să nu aplice legea în cazul Touring Europabus Romania.

EXCLUSIV Zeci de angajați de la o Agenție de stat și rude ale lor au primit ajutoare de urgență de sute de mii de lei de la instituția unde lucrează / ANPIS: ”Probleme grave de sănătate” (G4Media) Zeci de angajați ai Agenției Naționale pentru Plăți și Inspecție Socială (ANPIS) au primit în perioada 2017-2025, din partea instituției în care lucrează, ajutoare de urgență de peste 185.000 de lei, după cum rezultă dintr-o investigație G4Media.ro bazată de informațiile unui avertizor de integritate și pe documente oficiale. 20 de angajați din structura centrală și din județe au primit din partea instituției ajutoare de urgență în valoare de 169.000 de lei, cel mai mic fiind de 4.000 de lei, iar cel mai mare de 20.000 de lei. Dubii asupra imparțialității modului în care au fost împărțite aceste ajutoare sunt susținute de inadvertențe descoperite de G4Media.ro în documente interne al Agenției puse la dispoziție de un avertizor de integritate. Agenția este instrumentul prin care Ministerul Muncii, Familiei, Tineretului și Solidarității Sociale plătește toate tipurile de indemnizații sociale din România, iar ajutoarele de urgență reprezintă, teoretic, sume de bani acordate de Stat, prin Hotărâre de Guvern, în cazuri excepționale, cum ar fi boli incurabile, rude ale unor persoane decedate în catastrofe naturale/accidente de muncă, situații de sărăcie cruntă. Luxul, marca Senatului României. Împarte, din bani publici, butoni cu pietre semiprețioase, serviete din piele, eșarfe, stilouri și alte obiecte scumpe. Ne costă peste 250.000 euro (SpotMedia) Peste 1,23 millioane de lei – adică mai bine de 250.000 euro  – a cheltuit Senatul României pe eșarfe, butoni cu pietre semiprețioase, serviete din piele saffiano, silouri și altele asemenea. Toate, cumpărate prin încredințare directă de aceeași firmă de apartament cu un singur angajat. 12 DAV Avenue SRL a fost înființată în 2012, este activă din 2015 și - potrivit agregatorului cu informații de business listăfirme.ro - are un singur angajat. Are sediul social într-un apartament dintr-un bloc din Ilfov, situat în vecinătatea pădurii Băneasa. La solicitarea spotmedia.ro, Senatul României a transmis că „bunurile au fost oferite de către demnitarii români români în cadrul acțiunilor parlamentare interne și externe”.

Studiu de caz: ruta Cluj-Oradea (Europa Liberă) România riscă să piardă trenul unor investiții majore prin PNRR din cauza întârzierilor de pe marile șantiere feroviare. În țara cu unele dintre cele mai lente trenuri din Europa – aceste investiții sunt vitale pentru a aduce transportul feroviar la nivel de secol XXI. Europa Liberă a verificat unul dintre marile proiecte. Am descoperit, printre altele, cum șinele dintr-o zonă aglomerată au fost demontate înainte ca măcar proiectarea construcției celor noi să fie făcută. În tot acest timp – CFR improvizează și își transportă călătorii cu... autocarul.

S-a constituit un grup de lucru pentru reforma companiilor de stat. Altul decât cel de experți privați criticat de PSD. Coordonat de Dragoș Anastasiu, flancat de Marian Neacșu (SpotMedia) - Opriți cenzura și falsificarea datelor de la vârful Educației! Ministrul David trebuie să plece (Edupedu) - Procurorii din cazul Piedone au uitat că trăim în UE. S-ar putea să plătim pentru asta (HotNews) Ce sacrifică românii în fața austerității. Mărturii din zonele cu venituri sub media națională REPORTAJ (Adevărul) Măsurile de austeritate ale Guvernului, mai ales creșterea TVA-ului dar și liberalizarea prețurilor la energie le dau coșmaruri românilor din zonele mai sărace, în special Moldova și Oltenia. Și asta în contextul în care oamenii se confruntă deja cu dificultăți majore, din cauza scumpirilor continue la alimente și carburanți din ultimii ani. Mulți se gândesc deja la ce-ar putea renunța în primul rând pentru a echilibra balanța financiară a familiei. Primele pe listă sunt vacanțele, micile plăceri, hainele, dar și mesele îmbelșugate. Citiți reportajul în ziar. S-a constituit un grup de lucru pentru reforma companiilor de stat. Altul decât cel de experți privați criticat de PSD. Coordonat de Dragoș Anastasiu, flancat de Marian Neacșu (SpotMedia) Guvernul a aprobat joi constituirea unui grup de lucru pentru reforma întreprinderilor publice, coordonat de vicepremierul Dragoș Anastasiu, care va analiza situația companiilor de stat și va propune măsuri de reorganizare. Decizia a venit după ce președintele PSD Sorin Grindeanu a contestat vehement ideea formării unui grup consultativ format din experți din mediul privat, amenințând chiar cu o plângere penală. Din noua structură de lucru vor face parte vicepremierul Marian Neacşu, precum şi reprezentanţi ai Ministerului Finanţelor, Ministerului Economiei, Digitalizării, Antreprenoriatului şi Turismului, Ministerului Transporturilor şi Infrastructurii, Ministerului Energiei, Ministerului Mediului, Apelor şi Pădurilor, Ministerului Sănătăţii, Ministerului Justiţiei şi Secretarul General al Guvernului. Amănunte pe pagina SpotMedia. Unde este transparența, când primăriile, consiliile locale și județene sau prefecturile nu publică numărul de angajați și cheltuielile salariale în fiecare lună? (ZF) Ziarul Financiar face campanie pentru o administraţie bazată pe date, pentru transparenţă şi eficienţă.  Guvernul Bolojan promite restructurări şi plafonări în administraţie, dar nu spune clar câţi angajaţi are aparatul birocratic local. Câţi oameni lucrează în primării, prefecturi, consilii locale şi judeţene? Ce salarii primesc? Ce economii reale s-ar putea face?  Dacă noul guvern vrea reformă, trebuie să înceapă cu publicarea datelor de bază. Fără ele, toate planurile de eficientizare sunt doar vorbe. Primarii și președinții CJ, chemați la raport de Bolojan (DW) O bună parte din primarii și președinții consiliilor județene sunt coloana vertebrală a corupției endemice, scrie jurnalistul George Arun. Unora li s-a spus „baroni“, pentru că și-au agonisit averile ilicite păstorind primăriile sau județele ca pe propriile feude. Unii au ajuns pe mâna justiției, dar alții încă circulă liberi în mașinile de lux de la primărie sau sediul județenei de partid la vilele de sute de mii sau milioane de euro. Nu puțini dintre aleșii locali au case de vacanță construite cu sume exorbitante, propriile heleșteuri, parcuri zoologice, piscine sau camere special amenajate pentru masaj, coafor, manichiură, pedichiură.   Polițiștii judiciari, procurorii, inspectorii Agenției Naționale de Integritate (ANI), care ar trebui să constate dacă între averea dobândită în timpul exercitării funcției și veniturile realizate în aceeași perioadă există diferențe care nu pot fi justificate, par să nu se întrebe uneori cum sunt cheltuite milioane de euro pentru confortul de nabab dintr-un salariu de bugetar, fie el oricât de generos. Jurnalistul DW reamintește că la La prezentarea raportului de activitate a Direcției Naționale Anticorupție pe anul 2015, fostul procuror-șef al DNA Laura Codruța Kövesi preciza că peste 100 de primari și președinți de consilii județene au fost trimiși în judecată într-un singur an. Cel mai eficient șef al DNA se întreba retoric: „Este o legătură între funcţia publică şi bugetul administrat? Cu siguranţă este rezultatul unei modalităţi netransparente de folosire a bugetului public“. Dacă faci o investigație la firul ierbii asupra corupției endemice din rândul primarilor și președinților de consilii județene, constați că infracțiunile marilor rechini din administrația publică locală sunt trase la indigo – abuz în serviciu și luare de mită. În unele cazuri se mai adaugă spălare de bani sau constituirea unui grup infracțional organizat.  Toate aceste infracțiuni sunt furt din banul public.  Opriți cenzura și falsificarea datelor de la vârful Educației! Ministrul David trebuie să plece (Edupedu) Edupedu.ro documentează de o săptămână ceea ce s-a dovedit una dintre cele mai mari mistificări instituționale pe care le-am văzut în domeniul educației: cenzurarea și falsificarea datelor de cercetare de către ministrul Educației și Cercetării, pentru că nu susțineau schimbările politice luate de Guvernul său. Un răspuns de 23 de pagini în care cercetătorii Institutului de Științe ale Educației avertizau asupra riscurilor Legii-Bolojan în educație a fost oprit la cabinetul ministrului, a fost editat masiv, pentru ca în cele din urmă să fie trimise către presă 2 pagini, și acelea modificate. Ministrul David a oprit astfel de la publicare singura analiză data-based care îi contrazicea șefii. Un ministru care reînvie practicile ceaușiste, într-o perioadă marcată oricum de o mare degringoladă valorică, trebuie oprit rapid și dat jos de la vârful Educației, consideră jurnalista Raluca Pantazi. Procurorii din cazul Piedone au uitat că trăim în UE. S-ar putea să plătim pentru asta (HotNews) Dacă ieri eram revoltați că Piedone și-a anunțat prietenul, un politician cu hotel, că urmează să vină în control, astăzi suntem din nou revoltați că fostul șef al Protecției Consumatorului a fost umilit public. Până la urmă are cineva de câștigat pe de urma scurgerii „informațiilor incendiare / bombă” despre viața de familie a lui Piedone? Justiția în niciun caz, contează jurnalistul Gabriel Bejan.     Articolul 2 din Tratatul Uniunii Europene stabilește valorile esențiale pe care se întemeiază UE. „Respectarea demnității umane” este prima pe listă. Probabil nu întâmplător. (...) DNA recunoaște că l-a înregistrat pe Piedone în timp ce vorbea cu soția exclusiv probleme personale, dar a făcut-o pentru a-și sprijini materialul probatoriu. Pe de altă, nu știe cum au ajuns respectivele convorbiri în spațiul public. Consiliul Superior al Magistraturii ar trebui să facă o anchetă. În spațiul public, deja se vorbește mai mult despre „victima” Piedone, decât despre șeful ANPC care aranja controale în urma cărora afacerile prietenilor să iasă bine. Și nici imaginea DNA nu iese prea bine după o asemenea gafă.  Integral pe HotNews.ro.

ANALIZĂ Ce industrie de apărare are România. De la scandaluri, politizare și subfinanțare, la noul context european, care aduce finanțări uriașe de Apărare pentru țările UE (G4Media) - Stafia regimului comunist încă îi bântuie pe români. Pericolele (re)evaluării regimului condus de Ceaușescu: „Și cuvintele pot deveni gloanțe” (Libertatea) - Bani și bași | Ar trebui festivaluri ca Neversea și UNTOLD să fie duse în afara orașelor? Câteva răspunsuri (Panorama) PSD, rupt între Stănescu și Grindeanu pe tema ieșirii de la guvernare (SpotMedia) De două zile liderii PSD transmit mesaje contradictorii, arătând că la nivelul partidului dezorientarea e mare, odată cu declanșarea unor reforme instituționale.  Social-democrații au fost de acord cu creșterea taxelor, dar când a venit vorba de reduceri de posturi în administrația centrală și locală, mai puțini bani pentru primari și mai puține privilegii pentru rețelele de partid din instituții, discursul s-a schimbat, iar unii lideri cer ieșirea de la guvernare. Cine și-ar fi imaginat în urmă cu un an, când PSD, aliniat în spatele lui Marcel Ciolacu, se pregătea să recâștige Palatul Cotroceni după aproape un sfert de secol și să controleze încă o lungă perioadă România, că marele partid va ajunge să fie prins, fără scăpare, între forța politică a unui președinte surpriză și cea a unui prim-ministru de coșmar din perspectiva elitelor bugetare. Conform mai multor surse, social-democrații sunt dezorientați, speriați de pierderea susținerii publice și fără soluții. În acest tumult al schimbărilor declanșate de premierul Ilie Bolojan, în PSD s-au conturat două tabere, una condusă de Paul Stănescu și cealaltă de Sorin Grindeanu. Primul, care deține și poziția de secretar-general al partidului, a cerut public ieșirea de la guvernare. Bogatul și influentul baron local se gândește că din Parlament PSD, folosind AUR, ar putea cenzura acțiunile Guvernului, blocând reformarea instituțiilor publice. Dar Paul Stănescu uită faptul că situația de astăzi e diferită de cea 2007, atunci când PSD a susținut guvernul minoritar al lui Călin Popescu Tăriceanu, fără să fie formal la guvernare. În acea perioadă, social-democrații erau Puterea și Opoziția în acelaşi timp, se aflau într-o alianță informală cu liberalii aflați la guvernare, alianță care i se opunea lui Traian Băsescu, președintele de atunci. Astăzi, în cazul unei ieșiri a PSD de la guvernare, nimeni din partid n-ar putea garanta că fără accesul la resurse bugetare, fără controlul unor ministere și instituții, partidul ar putea să-și revină.

De la scandaluri, politizare și subfinanțare, la noul context european, care aduce finanțări uriașe de Apărare pentru țările UE (G4Media) Noul context strategic european, care aduce finanțări fără precedent pentru industria de armament și muniție, tensiunile din NATO generate de președintele SUA, Donald Trump, și nu în ultimul rând războiul din Ucraina regăsesc industria românească de apărare în amorțire: subfinanțată, lipsită de tehnologie, de contracte internaționale și cu un management infliltrat politic. Pe de altă parte, fabricile de tradiție au încă personal calificat și mulți oameni capabili de inovație, o resursă prea puțin folosită. În plus, se anunță o serie de colaborări internaționale și proiecte noi de dezvoltare a unor facilități de producție.Analiza pe larg pe pagina G4Media. Stafia regimului comunist încă îi bântuie pe români. Pericolele (re)evaluării regimului condus de Ceaușescu: „Și cuvintele pot deveni gloanțe” (Libertatea) Ultimul sondaj INSCOP a arătat că tendința românilor e de a reevalua tot mai mult regimul comunist și pe Nicolae Ceașescu, cifrele fiind îngrijorătoare, după cum arată mai mulți specialiști, care au și dezbătut rezultatele studiului. Câteva dintre reperele sondajului arată că o parte a respondenților sunt nostalgici după o perioadă neagră a țării noastre, în timp ce aproximativ jumătate dintre tinerii chestionați mai degrabă văd cu ochi buni pe fostul dictator și practici condamnate oficial de instituțiile statului, România având un raport de condamnare a regimului comunist. 48,4% dintre cei chestionați consideră că se trăia mai bine înainte de 1989, 65,1% că era mai puțină corupție, iar 66,2% că Nicolae Ceaușescu a fost un lider bun pentru România, 85,1% că mâncarea era mai sănătoasă, cu toate că 80,9% recunosc că era mai puțină libertate și 59,2% că regimul e responsabil de abuzuri și crime. Amănunte în Libertatea. Bani și bași | Ar trebui festivaluri ca Neversea și UNTOLD să fie duse în afara orașelor? Câteva răspunsuri (Panorama) România a devenit o piață importantă pentru evenimente de acest fel, dar un festival ca Neversea Kapital sau ca UNTOLD adună și critici, an de an. Adesea, oamenii care locuiesc în zonă se plâng de deranj, în vreme ce organizatorii și autoritățile nu-și asumă vreo vină, din moment ce evenimentele sunt organizate, cel puțin la nivel declarativ, în acord cu ce spune legea. Realitatea e că, la mijloc, sunt foarte mulți bani. Iar când banii vorbesc, pare că nu mai contează nivelul de decibeli la care o fac, scrie Panorama. Anul trecut, România a fost vizitată de aproape 2,4 milioane de turiști străini, în creștere cu 13,5% față de 2023, arată datele oficiale. Bucureștiul conduce topul destinațiilor și e urmat de județele Constanța, Brașov, Cluj, Prahova, Bihor, Sibiu, Suceava, Vâlcea și Mureș. Deși nu știm numărul, e clar că mulți vin și pentru artiștii pe care-i pot vedea în acea perioadă pe scenele din România. În cazul Clujului, spre exemplu, UNTOLD prinde, de câțiva ani încoace, prima parte a clasamentului în mai toate topurile internaționale de festivaluri, având în vedere anvergura evenimentului. 80 mil. € /an este contribuția UNTOLD la economia Clujului, potrivit organizatorilor. „Sunt bani care rămân în servicii conexe – de la hoteluri, apartamente care se închiriază, taxiuri, servicii de car sharing, terase, restaurante, mall-uri, deci orice afaceri din oraș”, afirmă Edy Chereji, cofondator UNTOLD și organizatorul evenimentului de la București. Chereji punctează că impactul depinde, într-adevăr, și de dimensiunea comunității locale.

From humble beginnings as a mathematics student in India to overseeing Citi's payments operations across 94 countries, Debopama Sen's 29-year journey offers valuable lessons for aspiring leaders. Her perspective on leadership is refreshingly practical: find the signal amidst the noise, articulate a clear strategic vision, and focus on helping your team excel. "It shouldn't be about the leader," she emphasizes, noting that in today's AI-driven landscape, the competitive edge comes from developing adaptability, critical thinking, empathy, and collaboration rather than just accumulating knowledge.The conversation takes a fascinating turn when Debo discusses the inevitable shift toward real-time, 24/7/365 payment systems. This isn't merely a trend but a fundamental transformation that businesses must embrace to remain competitive. As she points out, even if your current business model doesn't demand instantaneous transactions, your customers, suppliers, or partners will eventually pull you in that direction. Citi has positioned itself at the forefront of this evolution with innovations like real-time liquidity solutions and 24/7 dollar clearing.Perhaps most inspiringly, Debo shares wisdom on mentorship and using your voice as a female leader. "You have a voice and therefore you have a responsibility to use it," she advises younger women in the industry. She encourages professionals to proactively seek mentors beyond formal corporate programs, noting that most leaders are eager to give back. Her collaborative approach to leadership - viewing partnerships between traditional institutions and Fintechs as opportunities where "one plus one makes five" - exemplifies how diverse leadership styles can drive innovation in payments.Join us for this thought-provoking conversation about redefining leadership through influence, impact, and innovation in the evolving payments landscape. 

Ant International, in partnership with Citi have launched their Falcon Time-Series Transformer (TST) Model to deliver an enhanced FX risk management solution for their customers. The new solution was iterated with relevant experts in the airline industry. If it succeeds the AI forecasting tool will provide a wider number of payment options for all key stakeholders in the skies. Many billions of financial transactions occur ever year, presenting a great opportunity for all involved. AI forecasting for airlines to help with risk management Ant International's Falcon TST Model is a transformer architecture-based big data model with close to 2 billion parameters. By integrating the latest time series forecasting algorithms, the TST Model predicts future data points by learning complex patterns from large historical data sets using AI technology, the model helps businesses improve the efficiency and accuracy of their cashflow and FX exposure forecasts, allowing them to reduce hedging and overall FX costs. By pairing the Falcon TST Model with Citi's Fixed FX Rates solution, an award-winning solution that simplifies the FX risk management process for businesses selling online in multiple currencies, the combined solution helps businesses mitigate the risks associated with currency fluctuations by securing FX rates for a defined period. FX rates are locked-in and agreed upon, giving businesses greater predictability in budgeting, pricing and profitability. Citi's Fixed FX Rates solution supports over 70 currencies and is widely used by clients in various sectors including Airlines, Travel and e-Commerce. With Ant International's AI-enabled forecasting capability, businesses may utilise Citi's enhanced solution to improve the accuracy of their sales and FX exposure forecasts. Ant International has already achieved an accuracy rate of more than 90% in the company's own use cases and expects the solution to help the airline industry reduce its overall FX hedging costs as forecast accuracy continues to improve. By combining Ant International's Falcon TST model with Citi's Fixed FX Rates solution, Citi has successfully completed FX transactions for one of the leading carriers in Asia, reducing the carrier's FX hedging costs in initial live transactions. Sam Hewson, Global Head of FX Sales at Citi, said: "We are constantly evolving our products and solutions to support new use cases built on our clients' priorities. Citi's Fixed FX Rates solution supports some of the world's largest e-Commerce and Travel names and this innovative solution sees us leveraging best-in-class technology capabilities in the broader ecosystem to accelerate go-to-market use cases." Kelvin Li, General Manager of Platform Tech at Ant International, said: "This is the first industry-tailored solution developed from our Falcon TST Model with a bank partner to serve their customers. It's an important milestone in our journey to leverage AI for FX management for our businesses, partners, and also merchants. The 30% hedging cost savings Ant International has achieved for the pilot airline customer shows the cost efficiency that can be achieved with AI-enabled FX hedging. We are excited to expand the solution with Citi to serve more businesses and industries."

Lai arī šogad par karstumu vasarā pagaidām sūdzēties nevaram, ierasti ik gadu pāris nedēļas kārtīgi svīstam. Cilvēks var patverties telpās pie kondicionieriem un ventilatoriem un plānot savas ikdienas gaitas, neuzturoties karstākajā saulē, bet kā tiek galā daba? Kā dzīvnieki pārcieš sauli un karstumu? Kādas stratēģijas tie ir radījuši, lai pasargātu sevi no tveices? Raidījumā Zināmais nezināmajā stāsta dzīvnieku pazināji - Latvijas Nacionālā Dabas muzeja pārstāve, zooloģe Inta Lange un Rīgas Nacionālā Zooloģiskā dārza pārstāvis Māris Lielkalns. "Cilvēkam it kā ir vienkāršāk, mums drēbes ļoti palīdz, vai nu mēs saģērbjamies, vai izģērbjamies. Brīdī, kad vairāk vairs nevar izģērbties, mums vienmēr ir iespēja vai nu ielīst ēnā, vai dzesēties kaut kur vēsumā, vai doties peldēties. Mēs tomēr savu dzīvi turam tādos rāmjos, ja jums ir jābūt ārā, mēs esam pieturā, gaidām autobusu karstumā, saulē. Bet dzīvniekus dabā tas skar mazāk, jo viņiem vienmēr ir izvēles iespējas - ielien ēnā, viņi ielien mitrā zemē, pārrok sev bedrīti, noslēpjas kaut kur. Mums ir grūtāk," vērtē Inta Lange. "Bet dzīvniekiem savukārt ir grūtāk izģērbties. Ja pēkšņi strauji ir karsts vai auksts, nevar kā  cilvēks noģērbt savu biezo jaku un pēkšņi ir mazajā t-krekliņā, tad dzīvnieks vēl ilgi pinkaini staigās, viņam kažoka noģērbšana ir krietni ilgāka un pēc tam uzaudzēt vietā arī ir ilgāk." "Dzesēšanas variantu ir daudz dažādi," norāda Māris Lielkalns. "Kā nu kurš māk. Viens attaisa muti, atver knābi, papleš spārnus un tad elso, mēģina tādā veidā atdzesēties, cits izrakņā kaut kādu iedobi, ielien un tādāveidā dzēsējās, cits atkal pamēģina atrast kaut kur vējaināku vietu, kur izstiept visas četras kājas uz visām pusēm un tā turēties. Citi vienkārši nenāk ārā dienas laikā, sēž savā alā, iedobē, slēptuvē un viss, čuč, atpūšas. Kad tas briesmīgais karstums ir pārgājis, sākās nakts dzīve. Piemēram, tuksnesī."  Ja pēkšņi uznāk liels karstums, vai dzīvnieki var un mēdz "pārplānot" savas dienas gaitas?  "Latvijas dabā viņi ir ļoti elastīgi. Dzīvnieki nenāk pa dienu, mēs viņus tikpat kā neredzam, viņi guļ kaut kur vēsumā, ēnā, krūmos, nenāk ārā. Viņiem varbūt plānošana ir mazāk sarežģīta nekā cilvēkam, jo mums ir jāiet uz darbu, ir savi pienākumi, ir saplānota diena, tad dzīvniekiem galvenais ir būt drošībā, paēst un varbūt par ģimeni parūpēties," atzīst Inta Lange. "Latvijā, kad ir karstākais laiks, daļai dzīvnieku jau bērni ir pietiekami lieli, viņiem par bērniem īpaši nav vairs jārūpējas, un tad viņi vairāk domā par kaut kādu savu komfortu, izdzīvošanu. Tad nakts un krēslas laiks ir īstais.  Lai cik sauss un karsts pa dienu Latvijā arī būtu, tad vakarā rasa ir klāt, mitrums zem krūmiem, nokritušas lapas, zāle, viss ir tomēr mitrs. Un Latvija ir tā laimīgā zeme, kur kilometriem tālu nebūtu neviena ūdens avota, mums ir vai nu upes, vai ezeri, vai dīķi, vai purvi.  Arī pilsētas dzīvē, kad uznāk ilgāks karstuma periods, tad visi uztraucas pilsētā par dzīvo dabu, jo pilsēta krietni vairāk uzsilst nekā ārpusē un arī krietni vēlāk atdziest. Tomēr kaut vai Rīgā ūdens avotu ir daudz. Un savvaļas dzīvnieki ikdienā diezgan tālu pārvietojas no savām ierastajām vietām. Cilvēki varbūt vairāk ap māju dzīvojas, bet dzīvniekiem tie ir pat vairāki kilometri dienā. Līdz ar to ūdens vienmēr ir sasniedzamā attālumā." Ir karsts laiks, cilvēkiem daudz jādzer, jo tā mēs svīstam. Vai citi dzīvnieki arī tā svīst? Zināms, mājas kaķi svīst tikai ar ķepiņām. Kā ir ar citiem dzīvniekiem? "Ir, kas svīst, ir, kas nesvīst. Tāpēc jaukais teiciens - nosvīdis kā cūka ir absolūti garām un nepareizs, jo cūka ir viens no tiem dzīvniekiem, kas nesvīst," bilst Māris Lielkalns. "Ja reiz nesvīst, ir jāmēģina savādāk dzesēties. Un to viņa dara, ne tikai viņa, arī degunradži, arī citi cūku radinieki. Viņi vienkārši sameklē dubļu peļķi un iegāžas tajā ar  lielu, lielu sajūsmu. Arī brieži ļoti labprāt zoodārzā, mums tāds purviņš ir uztaisīts, un tad viņi tur priecājas. Tad izlien laukā tāds dubļains un apmeklētāji nevar saprast - fui, kādi, jūs netīrāt un nepucējat  dzīvniekus, bet viņš ir sajūsmā par to, ka ir atdzesējies un ļoti labi jūtas." Dubļu kārta palīdz arī pret odiem, mušām un citiem kukaiņiem un ārējiem parazītiem. Viņi iekalst tajā dubļu kārtā, tad atliek tikai noberzēties un atkal ir tīrs. Vislabākais ir sveķains koks - egle, priede. "Arī bez biezkažokainajiem ir savas dzesēšanas sistēmas. Ir aita, vēl daži citi, kam ir biezāks kažoks, bet ausis ir plikas, tās ir gandrīz kailas. Tāpat arī trusim, zaķim ausis ir garas pietiekami daudz, ne jau tāpēc lai labāk dzirdētu, bet gan lai atdzesētos. Tur ir daudz sīkie asinsvadi un tādā veidā vienkārši - ausis gaisā, vējiņš staigā, ausis dzesējas, arī pats dzesējās," turpina Māris Lielkalns. "Ūdensputniem tīri labi noderētu arī pēdas. Protams, arī spalvu kārtai ir krietni plānāka vasarā nekā ziemā, bet vienalga, ja paliek par karstu, tad plunčājas un dzesējas ar pekām. Ziemā savukārt šīs pēdas kalpo pilnīgi pretēji." "Attiecībā uz pārkaršanu tomēr gribētu piebilst, ka visneaizsargātākie Latvijā ir mūsu mājdzīvnieki - suņi, kaķi, varbūt kādam mājās trusīši vai jūras cūciņas un kāmīši, jo cilvēks par sevi padomās. Zoodārzā arī par visiem ir padomāts, savvaļā dzīvnieki paši var aiziet un atrast savu komforta līmeni, bet mājdzīvniekiem tādas iespējas bieži vien netiek dotas, jo mēs viņus ieliekam dzīvokļos vai mēs viņus mašīnās atstājam, vai varbūt kāds suns laukos pie ķēdes. Vai kādi dzīvnieki palaisti aplokā, kur nav pat nojumes," atgādina Inta Lange. "Mājdzīvnieki līdz ar to paši nevar nodrošināt savu komfortu, atrodot ēnu vai atrodot vēsāku vietu, jo kur viņš ir, tur viņš ir diemžēl. Te gan gribētos teikt, ka pieskatām esam uzmanīgi, un pagalmos varbūt izliekam āra kaķīšiem un sunīšiem varbūt kādu bļodiņu ar ūdeni, šie dzīvnieciņi gan būs ļoti pateicīgi par to visu, jo viņi paši nepratīs. Tā ir cilvēku atbildība." Cilvēkiem svīst ir dabiski, bet ko svīšana var liecināt par mūsu veselību? Lai gan šovasar ilgstošu karstumu vēl neesam pieredzējuši, svīšana ir dabiska mūsu ķermeņa izpausme ne jau tikai karstās vasarās vien. Organismam svīst ir svarīgi, bet mums pašiem un apkārtējiem sviedri un to aromāts var radīt diskomfortu. Bet vai tie patiešām ir sviedri, kas smaržo, vai varbūt aromātu rada kas cits? To skaidro Anda Apine, dermatoloģe-veneroloģe Lāzerplastikas klīnikā un Rīgas Austrumu klīniskās universitātes slimnīcas Latvijas Onkoloģijas centrā, kā arī Latvijas Dermatoonkoloģijas asociācijas priekšsēdētāja.

June consumer inflation coming in as expected: Carl Quintanilla and Sara Eisen broke down the key categories to watch, sectors most impacted by tariffs, and what it all means for stocks alongside the Fed. Famed investor Mario Gabelli joined the team with his take on it all – along with some specific stock picks… While Former Fed Governor Randy Kroszner argued today's print doesn't move the needle on rates. Plus: a deep-dive on the big banks, as JPMorgan, Citi, and Wells Fargo kick off earnings from the group this week (all beating estimates).  Also in focus: the President's headed to Pittsburgh today for Pennsylvania's first ever Energy and Innovation Summit… with billions of dollars in deals and commitments around AI and data centers expected to be (or already) announced. U.S. Energy Secretary Chris Wright joined the team live from the ground with his answers to America's growing power needs – along with recent OPEC developments, and more.

On a record-setting day for the S&P 500 and Nasdaq, Carl Quintanilla and Jim Cramer delved into a number of big stories: JPMorgan Chase, Wells Fargo and Citi kick off earnings season with Q2 beats. Nvidia shares hit new all-time highs after the chipmaker said the U.S. is giving it the green light to resume sales of its H20 AI chips to China. CPI data show consumer inflation rose in June, but largely in line with economists' expectations. Also in focus: JPMorgan Chase CEO Jamie Dimon talks regulation and stablecoins on the company's earnings call, Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg on the company's AI hiring spree, Amazon-backed Anthropic's AI rollout, Jim Cramer's message for Apple CEO Tim Cook, stocks caught up in a downgrade parade.  Squawk on the Street Disclaimer

Citigroup (C) saw its 2Q profit jump 25% thanks to a strong reversal of momentum toward trading and investments through the big bank. CoreWeave (CRWV) soared after announcing a $6 billion investment into a new Pennsylvanian data center. The Trade Desk (TTD) also rallied more than 10% with prospects of joining the SPX on Friday. Diane King Hall takes investors through the biggest movers this morning.======== Schwab Network ========Empowering every investor and trader, every market day.Subscribe to the Market Minute newsletter - https://schwabnetwork.com/subscribeDownload the iOS app - https://apps.apple.com/us/app/schwab-network/id1460719185Download the Amazon Fire Tv App - https://www.amazon.com/TD-Ameritrade-Network/dp/B07KRD76C7Watch on Sling - https://watch.sling.com/1/asset/191928615bd8d47686f94682aefaa007/watchWatch on Vizio - https://www.vizio.com/en/watchfreeplus-exploreWatch on DistroTV - https://www.distro.tv/live/schwab-network/Follow us on X – https://twitter.com/schwabnetworkFollow us on Facebook – https://www.facebook.com/schwabnetworkFollow us on LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/company/schwab-network/About Schwab Network - https://schwabnetwork.com/about

Welcome to the Data Security Decoded podcast, brought to you by Rubrik Zero Labs. In each episode, we discuss cybersecurity with thought leaders and industry experts, getting their take on trends, themes, and how they see data security evolving. This is a must-listen for security and IT leaders looking to better understand trends shaping data security and how they can achieve cyber resilience. In this episode, our host, Caleb Tolin, is joined by Errol Weiss, Chief Security Officer at Health-ISAC and former cybersecurity leader at Citi and Bank of America. Errol shares his journey from the NSA to building one of the most collaborative threat intelligence networks in healthcare, discussing cyber recovery, the minimum viable hospital model, and why culture and community matter in achieving true resilience.

On today's podcast: 1) Nvidia surges to an all-time high on news it will resume Chip sales to China. US government officials told Nvidia they would green-light export licenses for the H20 artificial intelligence accelerator, according to the company. The move is seen as a "massive win" for Nvidia's Chief Executive Officer Jensen Huang, and is also viewed positively by Vey-Sern Ling, managing director at Union Bancaire Privee, who says it is "obviously positive" for Nvidia, the AI semiconductor supply chain, and China tech platforms.2) The European Union puts out new tariff targets if it can't reach a deal with the US. The European Union has finalized a list of countermeasures to target US goods worth €72 billion, including Boeing Co. aircraft, automobiles and bourbon. The list includes US machinery products, chemicals and plastics, medical devices, electrical equipment, wines and other agricultural goods, according to a document prepared by the European Commission. The EU trade chief Maros Sefcovic says the US tariff policy is "effectively prohibitive" to transatlantic trade, and the EU insists any settlement must be mutually beneficial to both sides.3) Big bank earnings begin with JPMorgan Chase, Wells Fargo, and Citi reporting. America’s biggest banks are heading into earnings season with tailwinds from trading and lending as they benefit from market volatility and steady borrowing costs. Investment banking may be a weak spot as sluggish closings offset a pickup in deal announcements, Bloomberg Intelligence said.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
