Durante la última semana la figura de Hernán Cortés ha trascendido a la historia y se ha convertido en motivo de disputa y polémica política. Nos hemos puesto en contacto con José Luis Corral, uno de los grandes historiadores de nuestro país. ¿Cuál es su opinión?

Mado Martínez junto a Juanjo Sánchez-Oro y Álvaro Anula son los tertulianos de la Zona Cero, en la que comentan qué repercusión puede tener la retirada del oro francés de EE.UU. ¿Qué ha pasado con la nueva creación de Anthropic? Además, hablamos de la supuesta sirena que será subastada próximamente. Contamos qué secuelas físicas han afectado a los astronautas recién llegados de la misión Artemis II. Cuál es el nuevo método para buscar vida inteligente extraterrestre. Si es cierto que Gigalmesh, el gran personaje mesopotámico, es un personaje histórico o la leyenda de la ciudad conocida como "Puerto hambre" en la Patagonia argentina donde murieron españoles por inanición. Y hasta qué punto tener relaciones tóxicas te puede acortar la vida.

Welcome to Vatican Insider at an exciting time for Pope Leo as we follow him in Africa on his third international apostolic trip, traveling in Algeria, Cameroon, Angola and Equatorial Guinea. He returns to Rome on April 23. After the news summary, stay tuned for my special guest this week in the interview segment – Andreas Widmer, an Associate Professor of Practice in Entrepreneurship at CUA's (the Catholic University of America) Busch School of Business since the fall of 2012.

Hey ya'll, Alex here with your weekly AI news catch up. It's one of those Thursday's where no matter how well I prep, the big AI labs are hell bent to show up before each other. Alibaba dropped Qwen 3.6 with Apache 2, confirming their commitment to Open Source, then Anthropic released Claude Opus 4.7 (not quite Mythos) and OpenAI followed with a huge Codex update that includes Computer Use among other things. The highlight of Computer User is the background usage, more on that below. This is all just from today!Previously in the week we had 2 incredible 3D world generators, Lyra 2.0 from Nvidia and HYWorld 2 from Tencent, Windsurf dropping 2.0 version with Devin integration and Google releasing a Gemini TTS, with over 90+ languages support and incredible emotions range, and Baidu open sources Ernie Image, rivaling Nano Banana. Today on the show we had 3 awesome guests, Theodor from Cognition joined to cover the new Windsurf, Kwindla is back on the show to talk about “the side project that escaped containment” Gradient-Bang, a multi agent, voice based space game and Trevor from Marimo joined to talk about pairing your agents with a Marimo notebook. Let's dive in!

Hay mucha gente estupefacta y preguntándose cómo puede estar Pedro Sánchez encendiendo palitos de incienso en tik tok mientras en el juzgado se está ofreciendo un cuadro tan siniestro de la forma de ejercer el poder en su gobierno. Con las ilustradas amigas de Ábalos pasando las horas muertas en la biblioteca. ¡Qué le den el premio de Fomento a la lectura a Ábalos! Claudia en la biblioteca mientras cobraba en Logirrail y Jessica se sacó Odontología mientras cobraba de Ineco. A ver si estamos viendo a un rijoso donde hay un mecenas. A ver si estamos confundiendo a Lorenzo de Medici con José Luis Torrente. A ver si confundimos… en fin… y con perdón… las tetas con las becas.Ya me he perdido… vuelvo… a mí me interesa la barrita de incienso del presidente. Me decía ayer Caraballo que da la impresión de vive ajeno a toda realidad, como en un lugar de contemplación alejado de la contaminación y el ruido.Yo en cambio creo que tiene toda la lógica y hasta toda la semiótica. ¿Para qué sirve? ¿Cuál la razón originaria del botafumeiro de la Catedral de Santiago? Claro… es el olor… llegaban los peregrinos exhaustos y escasos de higiene y allí no había quien respirara…. es el olor… mi único reparo al tik toker Sánchez es que va a necesitar algo más potente que una barrita para camuflar este hedor… porque estos peregrinos tan impíos que le acompañaron en su Peugeot vienen oliendo muy mal…

El reto matemático de esta semana: Dato 1: La luz del Sol tarda 8 minutos en llegar a la Tierra.

CULTIVATING SAINTS, SAGES, AND STATESMEN THROUGH THE GREAT TRADITION OF CHRISTENDOMFor this third week of Lent, we first read the beautiful opening paragraph of St. Gregory of Nyssa's "On the Christian Mode of Life," followed by continuing our series of Lenten sermons by St. Pope Leo the Great. This week, we read his Sermon 41, which was delivered on February 21, 443. Many of his exhortations and warnings are particularly timely as we are now amidst another war in the Middle East. We bolster his observations with a powerful reading from one of J.R.R. Tolkien's letters toward the end of World War II about how Catholics should ponder their enemies in wartime.May this Lent be arduous and sanctifying!You can purchase the CUA volume with St. Gregory of Nyssa's work here:https://www.cuapress.org/9780813209692/ascetical-works/You can purchase the CUA volume with St. Pope Leo the Great's sermon here: https://www.cuapress.org/9780813228297/sermons/VISIT OUR WEBSITEhttps://eternalchristendom.com/BECOME A PATRON OF THE GREAT TRADITIONAs a non-profit, you can support our mission with a tax-deductible gift.

Alberto Aparici nos ha abierto las puertas de su biblioteca para explicarnos que existen estrellas que no mueren con estruendo. No estallan, no iluminan el cielo como supernovas: simplemente se apagan. En esta charla viajamos al destino más silencioso —y desconcertante— del cosmos: las llamadas supernovas fallidas, estrellas que colapsan bajo su propia gravedad y acaban devoradas por el agujero negro que ellas mismas engendran.Entre poesía —con versos de Julia de Burgos— y astrofísica rigurosa, se explica el delicado equilibrio entre fusión nuclear y gravedad que sostiene a una estrella durante millones de años… hasta que el combustible se agota y todo se precipita. ¿Por qué algunas explotan y otras desaparecen sin dejar rastro? ¿Cuántas se han detectado? ¿Podría ocurrir algo así en nuestra galaxia… o incluso con el Sol dentro de millones de años?

CULTIVATING SAINTS, SAGES, AND STATESMEN THROUGH THE GREAT TRADITION OF CHRISTENDOMFor this second week of Lent, we are contemplating Sermon 44 of St. Pope Leo the Great (c. 391-461), which was delivered exactly 1,575 years before the publication of this episode. Like last week's sermon, it is brimming with incredible Lenten insights and vindications of the Catholic Faith, reminding us that we are not truly Christians unless we bear the cross of Christ.May this Lent be arduous and sanctifying!You can purchase the CUA volume we read from here: https://www.cuapress.org/9780813228297/sermons/VISIT OUR WEBSITEhttps://eternalchristendom.com/BECOME A PATRON OF THE GREAT TRADITIONAs a non-profit, you can support our mission with a tax-deductible gift.

CULTIVATING SAINTS, SAGES, AND STATESMEN THROUGH THE GREAT TRADITION OF CHRISTENDOMIn this Ash Wednesday episode, we enter into Eternal Christendom's traditional Lenten "hiddenness" in which we do audio-only episodes, reading and reflecting on Lenten sermons by the Church Fathers each week until we attain the joy of the Lord's Resurrection.This Lent, we will read the sermons of St. Pope Leo the Great (c. 391-461), a great Saint, Church Father, Doctor of the Church, and Pope. Our first reading will be Sermon 48, delivered on March 13, 455. It is full of insights about our Catholic Faith, as well as refutations of various heresies and errors that are popular in our day. He compares our Lenten preparation for the joy of the "Pascal Feast" (Easter) with cleansing the "temples" of our soul.May we sacrifice greatly for love of Christ this Lent, rightly preparing the temples of our souls!You can purchase the CUA volume we read from here.VISIT OUR WEBSITEhttps://eternalchristendom.com/BECOME A PATRON OF THE GREAT TRADITIONAs a non-profit, you can support our mission with a tax-deductible gift.

CRUCERO A MARTE | TRES PATITAS DE VIAJEMamá pata tenía dos hijas y le encantaba llevarlas de viaje a lugares lejanos. Las dos patitas tenían pocos amigos, pero salían a pasear muy a menudo.Jugaban en el corral haciendo como si fueran un grupo, e incluso el día de su cumpleaños, se comieron el pastel grande ellas solitas.Como regalo, Mamá decidió llevarlas de crucero a Marte. Organizó el viaje en una nave espacial para turistas, consiguió los billetes para una fiesta marciana intergaláctica, y salida lo antes posible — en menos de lo que se dice "cua cua".Mientras las tres estaban en el patio listas para el viaje, vieron un objeto extraño volando bajo sobre la granja. Al posarse en el suelo, por una escotilla se asomó una pequeña figura cuadrada que dijo:"Disculpe, ¿es usted la que tiene tres billetes para Marte y tres para la fiesta intergaláctica?"Las patitas se miraron asombradas. Nunca habían visto una criatura cuadrada — cabeza cuadrada, ojos cuadrados, hasta la sonrisa parecía cuadrada."¡Sí, somos nosotras!" respondió Mamá pata."¡Cua! ¡Cua! ¡Cua!" hicieron las patitas a coro, saltando de emoción."Por favor, suban a bordo," dijo el marciano con una pequeña reverencia cuadrada. "El viaje a Marte está a punto de comenzar."Y de un salto subieron a la nave espacial, tan curiosas y entusiasmadas por aquella nueva aventura. El extraño vehículo partió veloz como una ráfaga de viento.En el espacio era hora punta. La nave espacial se encontró en una cola, y el marciano-piloto tocó la bocina: "¡Blip, blip!"Se asomó por la ventanilla y refunfuñó: "¡Cada vez es más difícil viajar! Pero mira, hay hasta un planetita juguetón que se ha puesto a girar sobre sí mismo, ¡como si fuera un carrusel! Qué diversión — hazte a un lado, déjame pasar y sigue jugando."Por culpa del atasco cósmico, la nave aterrizó en Marte con un ligero retraso sobre el horario previsto."¡Qué maravilla!" exclamaron las patitas al ver una nave toda de cristal lista para el crucero, donde fueron invitadas a subir a bordo.Había un gran ajetreo de pequeños marcianos cuadrados."¡Buenos días, señora pata, póngase cómoda!" decían haciendo una reverencia, mientras las patitas — cua, cua, cua — charlaban y saltaban contentas.De fondo, guitarras cuadradas tocaban Rock interplanetario.Las tres viajeras, con sus caritas pegadas a los cristales, observaban maravilladas el color rojo del planeta.La nave partió lentamente sobre la arena, pero de pronto los motores empezaron a rugir y arriba, hacia la cima de una montaña, y luego abajo sobre las rocas rojas — parecía estar en una montaña rusa, arriba y abajo, arriba y abajo. Luego volvía a posarse y lentamente atravesaba valles inmensos."¡Qué espectáculo tan extraño! ¡Qué vehículo tan raro que viaja sobre rocas y arena!" comentaban las turistas.Pasaron las horas entre maravillas y descubrimientos. El tiempo voló.Llegó la noche. En la nave marciana, Mamá pata y las patitas se presentaron todas elegantes, con lazos y lacitos, a la fiesta de cumpleaños intergaláctica.Los camareros bailaban, ofrecían el brazo a las turistas y servían al ritmo de música Rock. Pequeños marcianos se acercaron a las patitas y, haciéndoles muchos cumplidos, saltando y bailando, jugaron con ellas.La fiesta había comenzado."¡Aquí todo es cuadrado — los vasos, las botellas!" cuchicheaban entre ellas las patas.Los dulces eran salados, los salados eran dulces, el pastel era... bah, bah, ¡pero qué mundo es este!Los globos con "Feliz Cumpleaños" escrito eran — adivinen — cuadrados.La velada llegaba a su fin y fuegos artificiales brillaron en el cielo para celebrar a los turistas... y también eran cuadrados."¡Qué amables y simpáticos estos marcianos!" dijo Mamá pata, y continuó: "A Marte hemos llegado, visto lo hemos visto, divertidas nos hemos divertido. Ahora pensemos en volver a la Tierra."De repente, la voz del comandante de la nave avisó a los pasajeros de la inminente llegada de una nave espacial para el regreso.Las tres patas no esperaban otra cosa. Se despidieron y, a través de un puente de conexión, entraron directamente en la nave. Y abajo, hacia su planeta.Observando la partida de los turistas desde los ventanales de la nave, los marcianos vestidos de camareros lanzaron al espacio decenas de globos de colores.En el universo, bajo un cielo estrellado, los satélites vagaban alrededor de la nave espacial. Venus brillaba a lo lejos y la Luna, cada vez más cerca, sonreía con su cara llena.Al llegar a la Tierra, bajaron al corral las tres felices.Globos cuadrados con "Feliz Cumpleaños" escrito flotaban en el aire.¡Qué sorpresa! Esto es sin duda obra de los marcianos.Y contando por ahí su aventura galáctica, las dos patitas hicieron muchos amigos. Todos querían saber de su viaje a Marte.Nuestro planeta será redondo, será grande, será pequeño, será hermoso, y siempre será nuestro hogar.— Escrita por Lucia & Marco Ciappelli Each story is currently written and narrated in both Italian and English.The translation from Italian (the original language) to English and the reading of the stories are performed using Generative Artificial Intelligence — which perhaps has a touch of magic...

VOV1 - Năm 2025, ASEAN ghi dấu mốc lịch sử khi chính thức kết nạp Timor Leste trở thành thành viên thứ 11 của khối, là thành quả sau hơn 10 năm bền bỉ xin gia nhập ASEAN của nước này.Đối với ASEAN, đây không chỉ là bước ngoặt quan trọng, đánh dấu lần mở rộng đầu tiên kể từ năm 1999 mà còn khẳng định tinh thần bao trùm, đoàn kết và gắn kết của khối.Dấu mốc lịch sử này càng có ý nghĩa hơn với Tuyên bố Cua-la Lăm-pơ về “ASEAN 2045: Tương lai chung của chúng ta” đạt được trong năm Chủ tịch ASEAN 2025 của Malaysia. Có thể thấy, Tầm nhìn 2045 của ASEAN cũng là bước chuyển quan trọng, trong bối cảnh khu vực châu Á-Thái Bình Dương đang trở thành tâm điểm cạnh tranh chiến lược giữa các cường quốc.

David Carroll, president & co-founder of CU Aerospace (UIUC B.S./M.S./Ph.D.), walked away from a top university post in 1998 to build a rocket company in the Illinois cornfields. A laser scientist by training, he didn't stay in theory—he shipped: electric CubeSat engines, plasma systems, high-energy lasers, and even a genetic-algorithm tool that jumped from lab code to a cancer operating room.This conversation is a builder's tour of how space actually gets made—and what's at stake now. We trace the arc from lasers to flight hardware, from test-to-failure scrappiness to NASA-level safety, and from a small Midwestern shop to engines headed for orbit. Along the way: why smallsats matter more than slogans, the case for high-power electric propulsion (magnetoplasmadynamic, or MPD, thrusters), and how China's Moon timeline and SpaceX/Starlink's launch cadence are quietly setting the rules of the game.If you're choosing what to study, where to live, or which problems to bet your twenties on, this is a field guide: build outside the coasts, turn bullets into cannonballs, ship before you polish, and keep going when the first three proposals get rejected. Cornfields to orbit isn't a metaphor. It's a map.This is The UIUC Talkshow, and this is our conversation with David Carroll.EPISODE LINKS:CU Aerospace WebsiteKim Stanley Robinson's AuroraGood to Great by Jim CollinsAbout CU AerospaceFounded in 1998, CU Aerospace (CUA) operates a 10,000-sq-ft mixed office/lab facility in Champaign, Illinois, with cleanrooms, a rapid-prototyping shop, and dedicated propulsion and plasma labs.

www.marktreichel.comhttps://www.linkedin.com/in/mark-treichel/NCUA Predictions: What Will the Do in 2025?Treichel: [00:00:00] Hey everyone, this is Mark Treichel with another episode of With Flying Colors. Today I am flying solo and I am calling this podcast something like what I expect from NCUA in 2025. In preparing for today's show, I took some notes going back and looking at NCUA's Agenda from their board action taken in 2025 and am gleaning based on the Trump administration and the Helpman leadership.What may or what may not happen in 2025 compared to 2024. When you go back and look at 2025. They had canceled two board meetings. So that was one takeaway. They canceled the March, 2024 board meeting, which was the first time in a long time that that had happened. And they canceled the June, 2024 meeting.So this was under then [00:01:00] chairman Todd Harper, who is now a board member at large, although he came close to being named vice chair, and you can check out some of my past podcasts for discussions on why that may have blown up anyway. It things continue to blow up at the board level, but I'll get to that here shortly.All right. They canceled 2 board meetings and they held for N. C. U. S. I. F. share insurance fund briefings. I report on those quite a bit here and on linked in because that's 1 of the few windows to generic camel code ratings. You can see when camel code ratings go up and they did 4 of those. in 2024.I'm expecting they'll do four of those in 2025. They did one cyber security update briefing and they did a new charter update and briefing and tip to what I might say in the future. I think there will be more briefings because I don't think the board will be acting on much because I don't think the board [00:02:00] is currently getting along because of the kerfuffle on NSF and overdraft fees.All right. So other things they did they did a proposed succession planning rule and a final succession planning rule. They did an incentive based compensation proposal, which I think will go nowhere in 2025. That was put out there because Biden's administration required it from all. Banking agencies and under the Trump administration there will be less or zero regulation.And I don't see them wanting to put proposals in on incentives. If you'd know what I mean. In July, there was a loan rate ceiling approval to. re approve utilization of the 18 percent rate. That's what they do every time. The trade associations come out saying you should allow that to go up or you should make it based on variability.If NCOA was ever going to raise it, it would have been last year and or the year before. They [00:03:00] didn't seize that opportunity because they thought it would have been egregiously harmful to credit unions and credit union members. I disagree with that, but they will vote on that again because they have to vote on it and they will likely just do what they've done umpteen years in a row, which is reaffirmed the 18%.I expect that to happen in July again. All right. What else is going to be happening? Potentially, they did have a board appeal in August. By the way, they typically don't have open board meetings in August. That was a closed a closed item where a credit union appealed something without revealing what I know relative to that.That was a field of membership appeal. There was a fair hiring and banking proposal, which doesn't need to repeat in 2025. They simplified the insurance rules. And then when you get close to the end of the year, what happens at the end of the year and CUA approves their budget. But before they approve their budget, they do a budget briefing.A little [00:04:00] bit of history on the budget briefings. The budget briefing started when I was the deputy executive director and they were started by Dennis Dollar. And I remember saying to that executive director, Len Skiles, if you do this, Make sure you want to do it and it was for transparency. But once you start something, it's very difficult to stop it.And I'll get to that and why I'm making that point. I'll get to it now, but I'll refer to it again. So NCOA did stop it. I believe it was under the Matt's administration and the trade associations got upset because that was their opportunity. One of their opportunities to show value saying your budget's too high.Here's why we think it's too high. And through assistance from Senator Mark Warner in Virginia, they were able to get the Federal Credit Union Act proposed, requiring NCUA to do a budget briefing. They are required to do a budget briefing. I believe they will do a budget briefing. I'm not so sure they will do a budget.They're not [00:05:00] required to do a budget, and they are required to do a budget briefing. They're not required to do a budget, and that's because there is a two year budget. So I'll get to that and why I think that they may not do a budget when we walk through what I think will happen in totality in 2025. The NCOA approved their annual performance plan, which is linked to their strategic plan, already in January.That was one of the last things they did prior to Hauptmann taking over. So they don't need to do that annual plan, but they do need to do another strategic plan, and that would be due by the end of 2025 for the years 2026 through 2030. Will they do that? We will see. All right. So when you look at what is going to happen and what I predict will happen in 2024, that's a little bit about what happened.What I'm predicting in 2024 is that the theme of canceling board meetings will continue. They, as I mentioned, they canceled March and June. I'm [00:06:00] expecting that they may cancel April or May. Or June or July, I don't believe they're going to have enough briefings to keep an agenda full. I don't believe they're going to agree on enough things because of the arguments they're having about about NSF fees and overdraft fees being reported by over a billion dollar credit unions.There's two approaches here. Kyle Hauptman canceled and changed the. Way that billion dollar plus credit unions were going were reporting for three quarters on NSFs and overdrafts saying that it's overkill and it's onerous on the credit unions, et cetera, et cetera, and that they would be looking at that during part of the examinations and then after he announced that at GAC and then.Board member Harper and board member Otsuka came out with their own press releases, and I understand they did a full court press on [00:07:00] Capitol Hill on the topic and came out saying that what's wrong with transparency? There should be transparency here. Why are you stopping something that was started and that credit unions had been providing and that's bad for members?So that's the nexus I wanted to say where I mentioned with Dennis Dollar that when he started the budget briefings, I thought they would never be stopped. And it's hard to stop something when you do. What happened? Debbie Matt stopped the budget briefings, and then lo and behold, the Federal Credit Union Act was changed and INSU 8 was required.to do that. So at some point, whether it's when the next time there's a D in the White House or there's a D in running the Dems have control of Congress. And the White House, you're going to see more on the fee situation. You're going to see NCOA go back to collecting this data. Will it be in 4 years?Will it be in 8 years? Will it be sometime sooner than that? [00:08:00] My guess is not before the four year period. I can't see how it went flip floppi...
