Andrés Bello (Caracas, 29 de noviembre de 1781 – Santiago de Chile, 15 de octubre de 1865) fue un humanista, jurista, filólogo, poeta, pedagogo y diplomático venezolano, considerado uno de los intelectuales más influyentes de América Latina en el siglo XIX. Nació en Caracas, en el seno de una familia modesta. Estudió en la Real y Pontificia Universidad de Caracas, donde se formó en derecho, literatura y lenguas clásicas. Fue maestro del joven Simón Bolívar, a quien acompañó en sus primeras lecturas de clásicos. En 1810, tras los primeros movimientos independentistas en Venezuela, viajó a Londres como parte de una misión diplomática. Allí permaneció casi 20 años, dedicándose al estudio, la traducción y la enseñanza. En 1829 se trasladó a Chile, donde desarrolló la parte más trascendental de su obra: Fundó y fue el primer rector de la Universidad de Chile (1842), institución que organizó siguiendo un modelo humanista y científico. Como jurista, redactó el Código Civil de Chile (1855), uno de los más modernos de su tiempo y que sirvió de modelo para otros países latinoamericanos. Fue senador, consejero del Estado y figura clave en la consolidación cultural y legal de la república chilena. Gramática de la lengua castellana destinada al uso de los americanos (1847): obra fundamental para la unificación y estudio del español en América, con un enfoque propio frente a la tradición peninsular.Principios de Derecho de Gentes (1832): texto de derecho internacional, precursor en la materia.Poemas: como Silva a la agricultura de la zona tórrida (1826), donde exalta la riqueza natural de América.Tradujo a clásicos como Virgilio y escribió ensayos de filosofía, historia y crítica literaria. Se le recuerda como figura clave en la formación cultural, lingüística y jurídica de Hispanoamérica. Su nombre está asociado a universidades, instituciones y centros culturales en Venezuela, Chile y otros países. Fue un puente entre la herencia ilustrada europea y la construcción de una identidad propia en el continente.

Fuertes lluvias afectan a las comarcas del Barcelonés, Maresme y Vallès, con Badalona (76 litros/m²) y Granollers (63 litros/m²) entre las zonas más impactadas, causando desalojos de 26 vecinos en un edificio de cinco plantas y el arrastre de una furgoneta en Vilassar de Mar.

Nuria Richart y Manuel Llamas en su sección contra el wokismo hablan de la persecución religiosa y las tradiciones de Occidente. En una nueva entrega de No Te Equiwoques, ensalzamos la figura de Giorgia Meloni como la gran líder de Europa frente al wokismo imperante. A través de un emotivo mensaje de la primera ministra italiana sobre la importancia del Belén, se destaca la defensa de los valores tradicionales y los pilares de la civilización cristiana —como el respeto y la solidaridad— frente a una corriente que pretende erradicar estos símbolos para no ofender a otras culturas. Profundizamos en las raíces históricas de este sentimiento anticatólico, vinculando el wokismo actual con los excesos de la Revolución Francesa. Con el historiador Alberto Bárcena, autor del libro La guerra de la Vendée. Una cruzada en la Revolución desmontamos la imagen idealizada del proceso revolucionario, recordando que el régimen del terror y la guillotina supusieron una masacre absoluta. En este periodo se estableció por ley la desconexión del hombre con Dios para sustituir la religión por el culto al Estado y al Ser Supremo. Bárcena repasa los detalles del genocidio de La Vendée, considerado el primer genocidio de la historia contemporánea. Explica cómo la República Francesa persiguió sistemáticamente a los campesinos católicos y al clero refractario que se negó a jurar la Constitución Civil del Clero. Un acto de persecución religiosa radical que buscaba el exterminio de toda oposición tradicionalista. El autor dice que el memoricidio de la Revolución Francesa tiene mucho en común con las actuales leyes de memoria en España. Las víctimas de La Vendée, unas 200.000, sufrieron también el crimen del olvido hasta mediados de los años 80. Aquí, al igual que ocurrió en Francia, se pretendía silenciar la persecución sufrida por los católicos durante la Segunda República y la Guerra Civil.

A scandalous Netflix documentary called an unconventional sex-based therapy business an “orgasm cult,” all based on a sole source whose account has several flaws. But the Court of Appeal dismissed the defamation case on anti-SLAPP grounds. Tim and Jeff discuss whether any California defamation case against a media company could survive the one-two punch of anti-SLAPP and NY Times v. Sullivan. They also discuss California's unique approach to standing—it's not jurisdictional, it's purely pragmatic.Anti-SLAPP meets documentary defamation: OneTaste Inc. v. Netflix illustrates how courts evaluate actual malice when the plaintiff is treated as at least quasi-public, and how journalistic discretion can sink a claim even where the plaintiff says it provided contrary evidence before publication. Tim flags the built-in squeeze: if public-figure status and the controversy are intertwined, the plaintiff may need discovery to prove merit, but cannot get discovery without first showing merit.Standing without injury, by design, not accident: Kashanian v. National Enterprise Systems tees up a standing fight over technical FDCPA disclosure issues, think small-font compliance, with no alleged real-world harm. The takeaway is not subtle: in California, legislative authorization can do a lot of work, and no harm does not necessarily mean no case.When the statute creates the bounty, sanctions become the guardrail: The hosts debate whether CCP 128.5 and CCP 128.7 actually deter nuisance filings when the underlying enforcement scheme invites penalty-driven litigation. Is it appropriate—or wise—to use our courts as civil bounty enforcement, devoid of any harm requirement?Juror privacy is real, ask the team that wrote the $10,000 check: Don't research prospective jurors on social media.Minute entry, real consequences: A timing skirmish over whether a minute entry can function as an appeal-triggering order ends, for now, with the U.S. Supreme Court declining review.

Hour 3 opens with lighter banter and updates on the Brown University shooting before transitioning into policy-focused discussions. Jessica Rosenthal breaks down President Trump's efforts to accelerate U.S. pharmaceutical manufacturing and curb costs, emphasizing tariffs, domestic production, and fast-track approvals. Congressman Bob Onder weighs in on the recent House vote to defund pediatric transgender treatments and broader healthcare issues, critiquing federal subsidies and the influence of insurance companies. The hour closes with a look ahead to CBS's Things That Matter town halls, highlighting the need for civil, substantive debate between conservative and liberal voices like Ali Bestucky and JD Vance.

Chuck Todd breaks down Donald Trump’s prime-time address to the nation, arguing that it functioned less as a governing update and more as a rapid-fire campaign rally designed to rehab Trump’s political image. Todd explains how the speech sidestepped real policy challenges, leaned heavily into grievance, and once again spoke almost exclusively to Trump’s base—underscoring what he sees as the former president’s biggest weakness: a profound lack of self-awareness. From healthcare and energy costs to AI and economic anxiety, the episode examines how Trump’s fixation on personal slights and image management continues to shape his priorities, even as frustration grows among Republicans and voters alike who are still waiting for results instead of rhetoric. Then, businessman, venture capitalist and political strategist Bradley Tusk joins Chuck Todd for a wide-ranging conversation about leadership fatigue, the erosion of America’s rule of law, and the long-term consequences of the Trump era. Tusk argues that many of today’s institutional crises—from weakened economic pillars to America’s retreat from global leadership—are inseparable from Trump’s choices, and that “pay-to-play” politics may linger even after he’s gone. The discussion also explores capitalism’s successes and excesses, the growing public unease around AI, and why uneven, state-by-state regulation is both inefficient and, at times, a necessary laboratory for innovation. The conversation then turns to the future: how AI-driven inequality could spark massive political upheaval, why crypto only works with regulation, and whether mobile voting could dramatically reshape democracy by boosting participation and accountability. Tusk weighs the risks of low-information turnout, the challenges of selling reform in rural America, and why JD Vance may be the biggest wildcard in restoring the rule of law. The episode closes with reflections on missed turning points in presidential history, the changing nature of political communication, and what it will take for candidates in 2028 to be truly battle-tested for the moment ahead. Finally, he answers listeners’ questions in the “Ask Chuck” segment and previews the upcoming weekend in college football. Get your wardrobe sorted and your gift list handled with Quince. Don't wait!

In this episode, we discuss Disney and artificial intelligence. In early December 2025, Disney made a deal with OpenAI and simultaneously sued Google over Artificial Intelligence. At first, it sounds contradictory. But once you understand Disney's goals, it's actually very on-brand. We break it down in plain language, explore why people are anxious about AI, and look at the arguments on both sides. What are your thoughts on our discussion? Civil discussions encouraged. Please let us know at show@magicourway.com or call 815-669-4226, or slide into our social media DMs. Every thought and opinion will forever be welcome on this Disney fan podcast. This is show #607.

Osvaldo lleva 9 años y 3 meses en prisión, sentenciado a 47 años por EXTORSIÓN, un delito que jura no cometió.Ingeniero civil del Politécnico, trabajador de Grupo Carso instalando puntos de venta a nivel nacional, su vida cambió radicalmente el 29 de agosto de 2016, cuando fue detenido el día del cumpleaños de su hija de 4 años.00:00:00 - 00:06:52 | Ingeniero civil con vida normal / Civil engineer living a normal life00:06:52 - 00:09:16 | Muerte de mi madre tras sentencia / My mom's death after my sentencing00:09:16 - 00:10:41 | La acusación de extorsión por $100 mil / The $100K extortion accusation00:10:41 - 00:18:44 | Detenido el cumpleaños de mi hija / Arrested on my daughter's birthday00:40:10 - 00:42:05 | Mi hija me dejó de hablar / My daughter stopped talking to me------------------------------------Osvaldo has been locked up for 9 years and 3 months, sentenced to 47 years for EXTORTION—a crime he swears he didn't commit. He was a civil engineer from Politécnico, working for Grupo Carso installing retail locations nationwide. His life got turned upside down on August 29, 2016, when he was arrested on his 4-year-old daughter's birthday.-------------------------------------Lo acusan de haber estado afuera del domicilio de la víctima en San Vicente Chico López junto a tres sujetos que se hicieron pasar por ministeriales, exigieron $100,000 y amenazaron con entregar a la familia "en pedazos". Osvaldo asegura que lo confundieron con otros extorsionadores que fueron detenidos semanas antes cobrando $6,000.Desde entonces, Osvaldo ha perdido todo: su madre murió de un derrame cerebral justo después de escuchar la sentencia de 47 años, su hija dejó de hablarle a los 7 años acusándolo de mentirle, y su padre de 82 años lo visita incansablemente desde las 4 de la mañana. En esta conversación, Osvaldo revela cómo una acusación de extorsión destruyó su vida, el dolor de no poder despedirse de su madre, la angustia de ver a su hija crecer a través de llamadas telefónicas que ya no contesta, y sus sueños de libertad para cumplir las últimas voluntades de quien más amó.Una historia de extorsión, justicia fallida, amor familiar inquebrantable y la lucha por mantener la esperanza después de casi una década tras las rejas proclamando su inocencia.----------------------------------He's accused of being outside the victim's home in San Vicente Chico López with three guys who posed as federal agents, demanding $100,000 and threatening to deliver the family back "in pieces." Osvaldo insists they got the wrong guy—that he was confused with other extortionists who'd been busted weeks earlier collecting $6,000.Since then, Osvaldo has lost everything: his mom died from a stroke right after hearing his 47-year sentence, his daughter stopped talking to him at age 7 because she says he lied to her, and his 82-year-old father visits him relentlessly, leaving home at 4 AM. In this conversation, Osvaldo opens up about how an extortion charge destroyed his life, the pain of never getting to say goodbye to his mom, the heartbreak of watching his daughter grow up through phone calls she won't answer anymore, and his dreams of freedom to fulfill his mother's final wishes.A story about extortion, a broken justice system, unbreakable family love, and fighting to hold onto hope after nearly a decade behind bars claiming he's innocent.----------------------------------Para ver episodios exclusivos, entra aquí: https://www.patreon.com/Penitencia_mx¿Quieres ver los episodios antes que nadie?

Introduction to the SolutionUC Davis researchers are examining a novel approach to combating climate change: turning our buildings into carbon sinks. The solution is based on incorporating biochar, a carbon-rich material obtained from plant material, into common construction materials like concrete, brick, and asphalt. By embedding carbon directly into long-lasting infrastructure, this approach reduces atmospheric CO₂ and also transforms one of the most carbon-intensive industries in the world into a tool for climate mitigation.Background: How Carbon Storage in Building Materials WorksBiochar is created through pyrolysis, a process involving heating organic material, such as crop residues or wood waste, in a low-oxygen environment. This process locks in carbon that plants absorb during photosynthesis and prevents it from being re-released into the atmosphere through decay or burning.The research team at UC Davis, headed by Professor Sabbie Miller and Dr. Elisabeth Van Roijen, proposes the use of biochar as a partial replacement for the materials in concrete and other construction compounds. Since more than 20 billion tons of concrete are produced every year by the construction sector, substituting 10% of that with biochar-based mixtures could store up to 1 gigaton of CO₂ annually, or the equivalent yearly emissions from Japan.Unlike temporary carbon storage methods, like soil burial, embedding biochar in durable infrastructure ensures long-term sequestration, potentially spanning decades or even centuries. It also leverages the global scale of construction as a medium for climate action.Advantages of This SolutionApart from net carbon emissions reduction, the introduction of biochar-enriched building materials has tangible engineering benefits. It has been found that the addition of biochar can enhance thermal insulation, fire resistance, and durability in some uses. The process also fits well within the circular economy principles because of the organic waste used and reduced need for virgin materials.Because construction is already a high-volume, resource-intensive industry, integrating biochar into existing supply chains could make climate-positive practices scalable and economically viable without requiring dramatic infrastructure overhauls. Equally important, this solution provides dual benefits: supporting both carbon sequestration and the development of sustainable materials.Drawbacks and CritiquesThe approach faces several scientific and logistical obstacles despite such a promising premise. Producing biochar requires energy in quite significant quantities, with sourcing biomass at large scales risking unforeseen ecological impacts such as nutrient depletion or habitat disruption. Some critics even ask whether its broad adoption might inadvertently encourage the removal of older buildings in favor of the construction of newer, carbon-storing ones, offsetting any climate gains.Another factor is the life cycle of the biochar-infused materials themselves. While they can store carbon for decades, it remains undetermined how these materials at the end of a building's life are to be managed to avoid re-release of CO₂. Future policy frameworks and recycling technologies will be required to address these challenges if there is to be long-term effectiveness.About the GuestDr. Sabbie Miller is an Associate Professor of Civil and Environmental Engineering at UC Davis. Her research focuses on sustainable infrastructure materials, life-cycle assessment, and reducing the environmental footprint of the construction industry.Further ReadingUC Davis News: Storing Carbon in Buildings Could Help Address Climate ChangeNature Geoscience: Carbon Sequestration Using BiocharScience Magazine: Building Materials as Carbon SinksScienceDirect: Alternative Sequestration Options in Construction MaterialsFor a transcript, please visit https://climatebreak.org/sequestering-carbon-in-building-materials-with-dr-sabbie-miller/

Hundreds of Papamoa residents are fighting back against a council proposal that they help pay for their own road repairs. Seven streets are set for roadworks in January, but because the streets are considered "low-volume", Tauranga City Council has opted for chipsealing, rather than asphalt. After locals voiced their opposition to that idea, the Council came back with an offer: You want asphalt, you can pay the difference. Dr Daniel van der Walt, senior lecturer in Civil and Environmental Engineering at the University of Canterbury and Phillip Brown is the Chair of the Papamoa Residents and Ratepayers Association talk to Jesse.

Religious freedom, especially for Christians, is under attack across the globe, including in the West–including right here in the United States. Whether insidiously in the form of diversity, equity, and inclusion programs that block Christians from employment and advancement opportunities, or, overtly, like vandalism against churches, or, in some parts of the world, murderous violence against Christians themselves, in terms of sheer numbers–and this fact is often ignored–Christians are, by far, the most persecuted religious group in the world. While defending religious freedom is important for people of all faiths, or no faith at all, it is thus especially urgent for believers in Christ. How, then, can we work together as a church and as a society to make progress on this front? Taking a step back, what, specifically, is religious freedom and why is it a universal human right? What is the relationship between the free exercise of religion and freedom of speech? And how can we respond to the secular charge that religious freedom is merely a backdoor means for the faithful to impose their beliefs on others? A listener asks how we can grow in confidence that Catholicism is the one true religion.

Rupert Soames speaks to Felicity Hannah for his final interview before he stands down as Chair of the Confederation of British Industry (CBI). He describes his surprise at the limited understanding many ministers and policymakers have of the realities faced by business leaders, particularly when it comes to employment, investment, and economic growth. With the Employment Rights Bills ping-ponging its way between the House of Lords and the House of Commons, Soames expresses concern over measures that have increased the cost and risk of employing people, particularly younger workers. He points to the Bill as a source of uncertainty, saying that while compromise was reached on some aspects, the overall effect may be to discourage job creation and make it harder for those with gaps in their employment history to find work, especially post-covid. Brexit and its economic consequences are explored with Soames describing the outcome as “really, really, really bad" for the UK's economic prospects. However, he acknowledged the need to move forward and reset the UK's relationship with the European Union, but expresses concern about the slow pace of doing so, and the persistence of unproductive patterns in UK-EU relations, calling this "Code Red".Soames does credit the Labour government with progress in areas such as global trade agreements and regulatory reform, insisting they've done better in this regard than many before, but highlights a persistent gap between rhetoric and action. The interview also covers the challenges faced by Soames when he joined the CBI in 2024, following allegations of sexual abuse that were reported April 2023 in the Guardian. He reflects on restoring the reputation of the organisation and convincing swathes of major organisation to re-join, after many quit or suspended their memberships.Presenter: Felicity Hannah Producer: Olie D'Albertanson Editor: Henry Jones00:00 Sean Farrington and Fliss set up interview 02:40 Rupert Soames joins pod and discusses CBI scandal 13:40 Budget impact on business 20:00 Employment Rights Bill 23:55 Is government creating climate for growth? 25:00 Civil service has grown too large 27:15 Shocking how little government understands business 29:00 Government doing better than EU and US on AI adoption 30:00 Some people were seduced by then opposition govt; It was performative 32:53 Brexit has played out really, really, really badly 38:00 What is Rupert optimistic about?

The New Yorker staff writer Andrew Marantz is joined by the political scientists Steven Levitsky and Daniel Ziblatt, who teach at Harvard, and Lucan A. Way, who teaches at the University of Toronto, for an installment of “How Bad Is It?,” a monthly series on the health of American democracy. In a new essay for the journal Foreign Affairs, “The Price of American Authoritarianism,” the scholars of government assert that President Trump's rapid consolidation of power in the first year of his second term has tipped the United States into authoritarianism—specifically, into competitive authoritarianism, in which elections persist but the ruling party rigs the system in its favor. The panel discusses how they arrived at their conclusions and suggests that not all is lost: America's authoritarian moment could be temporary. “The United States is in a very good place to resist,” Levitsky says. “Civil society is very robust and so there is a very high likelihood that Trump will fail.” The Political Scene draws on the reporting and analysis found in The New Yorker for lively conversations about the big questions in American politics. Join the magazine's writers and editors as they put into context the latest news—about elections, the economy, the White House, the Supreme Court, and much more.
