José Antonio Zarzalejos, analista político y colaborador habitual de 'Herrera en COPE', ha calificado este miércoles como un “fiasco” la ronda de reuniones que el presidente del Gobierno, Pedro Sánchez, ha mantenido con sus socios parlamentarios en los últimos días. Durante 'el sexto sentido', el periodista ha afirmado que Sánchez no solo no ha obtenido respaldo, sino que ha quedado aún más debilitado política y estratégicamente.Según Zarzalejos, los socios de investidura han mostrado un claro distanciamiento con el presidente: algunos, como ERC y el PNV, se negaron incluso a fotografiarse con él; otros, como Podemos y el BNG, directamente no acudieron a la cita. Solo EH Bildu mostró cierta disposición.“Sánchez no te vamos a echar, pero no te vamos a ayudar. Cuécete en tu propia salsa”, resumía Zarzalejos sobre el mensaje que, a su juicio, han transmitido los aliados parlamentarios al jefe del Ejecutivo.Además, en un contexto de creciente tensión ...

Tras la trama de presunta organización criminal y corrupción conocida ayer sobre Santos Cerdán, Koldo García y Ábalos en el informe publicado por la Unidad Central Operativa de la Guardia Civil, el presidente del Gobierno, Pedro Sánchez, pidió disculpas y descartó un adelanto electoral. En Las Mañanas de RNE le preguntamos sobre esta tensión política a Noelia Núñez, vicesecretaria nacional de Movilización y Reto Digital del PP: "Lo que estamos viendo es una situación insostenible, no confiamos en Sumar [...] pero hemos interpelado a los socios de Junts, del PNV, de ERC o Podemos por si quieren acabar con estos escándalos de corrupción, nosotras estamos a la disposición".Respecto a si el presidente del Gobierno agotará o no la legislatura, Núñez es clara: "Espero que no porque los españoles necesitan un tiempo nuevo". Insiste en que desde el año 2024 "estamos hablando de la implicación de Santos Cerdán en la trama de Koldo [..] "la víctima de Sánchez son los españoles por el dinero que se ha robado presuntamente de todos los ciudadanos". Desde el Partido Popular desconfían de la encuesta del CIS y su apuesta por el PSOE: "No se lo cree ni Sánchez. Si el resultado es a su favor no tiene más que convocar elecciones", concluye.

La paera en cap de Balaguer diu que “els comptes del pressupost del 2025 estan ben fets, i que sempre es poden fer modificacions”. Lorena González ha explicat aquest divendres al programa Actualitat plural que l’equip de govern format pel PSC i Treballem per Balaguer, “varem confeccionar al 2024 uns pressupostos de legislatura i per aquest motiu es va demanar un crèdit per executar aquestes inversions plurianuals pels grans projectes de ciutat. La paera en cap diu que s’arrosseguen projectes, inversions i falta de manteniment de l’equip de govern anterior d’ERC. Ha afegit que “fa molts anys que s’arrossega l’ampliació de l’Escola Montroig, que ja venia per la inoperància de l’anterior equip de govern”. En quan al Refugi d’Animals, Lorena González, ha insistit que “és un problema de comarca, perquè molta gent porta gossos abandonats de pobles veïns al refugi”. González diu que va enviar una carta a Miquel Plensa informant de la situació, i que encara no han rebut cap resposta. Pel que fa a la neteja de la ciutat, la paera en cap ha avançat que es programaran durant l’estiu intensius de neteja, però ha tornat ha insistir en l’incivisme de la gent. —Balaguer ha acollit aquest divendres la Comissió de presidència de la Federació Catalana de Municipis, que s’ha celebrat a les instal•lacions del Centre d’Empreses i Innovació Castelló de Farfanya inaugurarà aquest divendres la restauració del seu castell.

A la espera de que el 24 de junio el Tribunal Constitucional dicte sentencia sobre la Ley de Amnistía, la ponencia previa indica que que va a dar su visto bueno a la norma. Salga como salga de los tribunales, no beneficiará, de entrada, ni a a Carles Puigdemont ni a Oriol Junqueras, líderes de los dos principales partidos independentistas. La sentencia llegará al borde de que el equilibrio parlamentario que sostiene al gobierno de coalición, del que forman parte Junts y ERC, cumpla dos años.

Este martes saltó la noticia de que la militante del PSOE implicada en los audios filtrados contra la UCO, Leire Díez, solicitó su baja como afiliada del partido. Además, este miércoles ha convocado a todos los medios de comunicación a una rueda de prensa. Podemos y ERC han pedido la comparecencia de Sánchez y, sobre este asunto, en el '24 Horas de RNE' hablamos con Ione Belarra, secretaria general de la formación morada."Yo creo que quienes tienen que dar las explicaciones pertinentes sobre lo que ha pasado son los máximos responsables del Partido Socialista", apunta Belarra. Posteriormente, destaca que España lleva una década en la que ha surgido una "guerra sucia judicial y guerra sucia dentro de las cloacas del Estado". Respecto a las medidas que se han llevado a cabo desde el PSOE, la portavoz de Podemos insiste en que "todo lo que se ha hecho, en un caso como este, apunta a que se han utilizado las mismas prácticas que se pretendía combatir"."El primer interesado en dar todas las explicaciones es el propio presidente del Gobierno", argumenta Ione Belarra, aunque insiste: "Debería comparecer motu proprio, ya que hay votos suficientes en el Congreso para que comparezca".En cuanto a la postura del PP en este asunto, la secretaria general de Podemos afirma: "En este momento, el Partido Popular sigue siendo el partido más corrupto de Europa, una formación que ha utilizado todas las herramientas legales e ilegales para perseguir a sus adversarios políticos".Por último, Belarra se ha pronunciado sobre el hecho de que Més, fuerza mayoritaria de Compromís, proponga abandonar el grupo parlamentario de Sumar en el Congreso: "Me apena profundamente que todo este lío esté tapando la necesidad de ofrecer verdad, justicia y reparación a las víctimas de la dana".Escuchar audio

29 Mayıs 2025, Laflijazz bu hafta sevgili Ercüment Orkut'u misafir ediyor. Müzik eğitiminden girdik, son derece başarılı ve sadece cazı değil dizi ve film müziklerini de kapsayan kariyerinde bir mola verdik ama bu sezona has konuğumuzun hiç bilinmeyen yönlerini de sizlere aktardık. Bu keyifli programa hepinizi bekleriz...

Es un mal de la polarización eso de asumir que, por el miedo a que gobierne la derecha, partidos como ERC, Bildu e incluso Junts y el PNV ni se inmuten, como si su labor no fuera también fiscalizar externamente lo que eventualmente hubiera podido ocurrir en el PSOE o el Ejecutivo. Por ejemplo, por qué ha dimitido el número dos de interior, si es cierto que Leire Díez actuaba por su cuenta o si es posible sostener que su papel se limitara al de mera periodista. 

El Dr. Emilio Sánchez, nuevo presidente de la Sociedad Española de Nefrología, busca mejorar la prevención y el diagnóstico precoz de la Enfermedad Renal Crónica (ERC), que afecta al 15% de la población española. La ERC ha aumentado un 30% en la última década, generando un elevado coste sanitario. Sánchez destaca la necesidad de un Plan de Salud Renal que se enfoque en tres áreas, diagnóstico temprano, prevención de la progresión y mejora de la calidad de vida en pacientes avanzados, promoviendo tratamientos domiciliarios como la diálisis peritoneal. A su vez, hablamos con Adriá Montoro, donante de un riñón a un desconocido. Escuchar audio

La situación de deterioro del Gobierno es tan asombrosa como su capacidad de supervivencia. Es cierto que se han unido factores que no habían sucedido hasta ahora. En primer lugar, está la firme determinación de Sánchez de mantenerse en el Gobierno a cualquier precio.

El Congreso ha aprobado la iniciativa de Sumar, ERC, Podemos y BNG para blindar el embargo a la compraventa de material militar con Israel. Verónica Barbero, portavoz de Sumar en el Congreso, ha afirmado en el informativo '24 horas de RNE' que lo que ha sucedido hoy en la Cámara Baja "es una victoria": "Hemos conseguido que en el Parlamento español se apruebe una norma que es histórica con un posicionamiento de la mayoría a favor de Palestina para acabar con este genocidio atroz", afirma. Hay países como el Reino Unido que ya han advertido de represalias contra Israel por su intención de tomar Gaza cada vez con más fuerza, Barbero cree que es el momento para que la comunidad internacional responda: "Lo que está pasando es un exterminio de un pueblo y estamos siendo conscientes de que esto tenemos que pararlo". Sobre la regularización de personas migrantes que lleva atascada durante más de un año, la portavoz de Sumar ha aclarado que "el ministerio está trabajando mañana, tarde y noche para que se haga una realidad y garantizar cuanto antes los derechos de los menores", concluye.

Episode 60 Enforcement Priorities of the Second Trump Administration: Employee Retention Tax Credit Five years and two presidential administrations later, tensions remain — with the IRS and tax credit applicants — over the pandemic-era Employee Retention Tax Credit (ERC). While the IRS has been continuing a Biden-era restrictive policy, a new mandate may be coming when a new IRS Commissioner is confirmed. Fox attorneys Brian Bernhardt and Jonathan Wasser join host Matt Adams for a comprehensive look at the current state of the ERC. They also discuss Billy Long — the current IRS commissioner nominee — and how his background may shape his plans for the agency's approach to the ERC. Brian and Jonathan also forecast what's likely to come for the IRS and the ERC in light of staffing reductions.

L'endemà de la compareixença a la comissió d'esports del parlament de Catalunya, l'ex-tresorer del Club Natació Sitges, Carles Fernández, i l'ex-vocal, Esteban Sánchez, han fet balanç de com va anar la jornada. I el balanç és agredolç, però amb un bri d'esperança motivat pel fet d'haver-se sentit acompanyats per tots els portaveus de les diferents formacions parlamentàries presents a la comissió, Junts x Catalunya, ERC, PP, VOX, Aliança Catalana i PSC, i de la possibilitat de poder trobar una solució que passi per l'anul·lació del procés de subhasta de les instal·lacions del club i la seva municipalització, per a poder cercar un operador extern. Esteban Sanchez s'ha refermat en el fet que l'informe dels tècnics municipals sobre la liquidació del Consorci considera la subhasta com a la darrera -que no l'única- opció, sempre i quan no hi hagi una consignació pressupostària que contempli la compra de les instal·lacions. L'entrada Un bri d’esperança pel Club Natació? Parlem amb Carles Fernández i Esteban Sanchez ha aparegut primer a Radio Maricel.

'Penseu en els nens i en la cantera que tenim'. Així ha acabat la compareixença dels representants del Club Natació Sitges aquesta tarda, a la comissió d'esports al Parlament de Catalunya. Després de posar en context a les diputades respecte la història centenària del Club, Carlos Fernandez, ex-tresorer, i Esteban Sánchez, ex-vocal, han defensat el que creuen que és la solució per garantir-ne el futur: que s'aturi la subhasta de les instal·lacions, i que l'Ajuntament les municipalitzi. I en aquest argumentari han trobat la complicitat de totes les formacions polítiques presents a la comissió (Junts, ERC, PP, VOX, AC i PSC) que s'han mostrat disposades a donar suport a la continuïtat del Club Natació, malgrat que hi hagi incògnites obertes sobre si la subhasta es pot aturar i les instal·lacions municipalitzar-se. Alguns regidors dels partits de la oposició a l'Ajuntament de Sitges han acompanyat Fernández i Sánchez, i Eva Garcia del Partit Popular, en la seva condició de diputada intervinent a la sessió, ha apuntat l'absència de representants del govern municipal. Amb tot, Carles Fernández ha estat molt clar quan ha afirmat que aquest assumpte ja no va de sigles polítiques, mentre Esteban Sánchez ha conclòs que amb el govern actual ja no tenen cap mena d'esperança si algú no hi intervé. I en aquest sentit s'ha interpel·lat a la diputada d'ERC Marta Vilalta. L'entrada Els representants del CNS demanen al parlament que s’aturi la subhasta de les instal·lacions i que es municipalitzin, per a garantir-ne el futur ha aparegut primer a Radio Maricel.

In this episode of The Dental Boardroom Podcast, Wes Reid, founder of a dental CPA and financial planning firm, dives deep into the Employee Retention Credit (ERC)—what it was, how it worked, and the lingering tax implications that dentists still need to address in 2025. From qualification rules and tax amendments to why the IRS is still behind on guidance, Wes breaks it all down with clarity and real-world insight. If you're a dentist who claimed the ERC or are still navigating its aftermath, this is a must-listen.Key Points Covered:What the ERC is: A government stimulus program that provided financial relief to businesses during COVID closures, especially valuable to dental practices.How eligibility was determined: Based on revenue drops and specific calendar quarters in 2020–2021.Claiming the ERC: Typically filed retroactively through amended 941 payroll tax returns.Why ERC resurfaced in 2025: The amendment window has closed, and many dentists are left wondering how to finalize tax treatment of ERC funds.Tax implications explained: Receiving ERC impacts labor expenses, corporate profits, and personal tax returns—requiring multiple amendments.When to file amendments vs. report ERC on current returns: Wes explains how to navigate reporting ERC on 2024 or 2025 returns if amendments weren't done in time.IRS delays and confusion: Lack of consistent IRS guidance caused delays and headaches for dental CPAs and clients.Important advice: Include the ERC in your current or next year's tax return if you're too late to amend previous years.#DentalBoardroomPodcast #DentalCPA #EmployeeRetentionCredit #ERCTax #DentalPracticeFinance #COVIDRelief #IRSUpdates #DentalTaxPlanning #PracticeOrbit #DentalBusinessTips #TaxAmendments

Con el calendario de este año, con 24 carreras, la Fórmula 1 viaja, en una semana, más de 8.000 kilómetros, cambiando la primavera japonesa por el desierto de Baréin. El segundo episodio de la semana del Podcast Técnica Fórmula 1 nos prepara para esta prueba y nos cuenta la experiencia vivida a pie de cuneta en la primera prueba del Campeonato Europeo de Rallies, el Sierra Morena. Una pista radicalmente diferente. La F1 llega al circuito de la pretemporada, Baréin, así que todos tendrán muchos datos con los que trabajar a la hora de configurar los coches y elegir las mejores estrategias para la clasificación y la carrera. Los compuestos serán los mismos que en Suzuka, los más duros de la gama 2025 de Pirelli. Sin embargo, las características de la pista de Sakhir, sobre todo las temperaturas, requerirán un enfoque radicalmente diferente al adoptado la el fin de semana pasado en Japón. El circuito tiene una superficie muy abrasiva, a pesar de ser ya bastante antigua. Eso sí, es una superficie con un buen agarre a los neumáticos. El problema, como siempre, será la arena que entra en la pista desde el desierto y que puede ser una molestia. Ni el desgaste ni el graining suelen ser factores limitantes: aquí lo es la degradación térmica en el eje trasero, principalmente. Eso sí, para compensar lo ocurrido en Suzuka, esta es una pista donde es posible adelantar, especialmente en las frenadas fuertes de las curvas 1, 4 y 11. En cuanto a los frenos, según los técnicos de Brembo, y también para diferenciarse de Suzuka, la pista de Baréin es muy exigente con el sistema de frenada. En una escala del 1 al 5, obtuvo una calificación de dificultad de 4 porque, en una vuelta, hay 4 instancias de frenado clasificadas como duras, 3 como medias y una como ligera. La curva más dura es la primera, porque la recta de 1,1km que la precede permite alcanzar velocidades de 313 km/h, así que en la curva, los pilotos desaceleran hasta 66 km/h en 2,89 segundos y experimentan una deceleración de 4,2 g. Horarios “más europeos”. Esta vez, tras 3 carreras en las que hemos tenido que madrugar (o trasnochar) mucho, tenemos un horario más europeo. Así, en este fin de semana que vuelve a ser tradicional, tendremos sesiones de libres el viernes a las 13:30h y a las 17:00h. El sábado disfrutaremos de la tercera sesión de libres a las 14:30h y veremos comenzar la clasificación a las 18:00h. El domingo, los semáforos se apagarán a las 17:00h. Espectacular inicio del ERC. El Rally Sierra Morena, por su parte, estuvo espectacular, con unos tramos de asfalto impresionantes. El problema principal fueron las neutralizaciones de los tramos tras varios accidentes. 117 participantes hablan del interés por este rally, aunque a veces la distancia entre ellos fue un poco excesiva para tantos coches. Pero, en general, gran nota para la organización y para el espectáculo vivido en Córdoba. Escucha el episodio completo en la app de iVoox, o descubre todo el catálogo de iVoox Originals

Intenso fin de semana de motor con muchos frentes abiertos, especialmente, por lo que se refiere al Gran Premio de Japón y el Rally Sierra Morena, inicio del ERC. Esta semana, el Podcast Técnica Fórmula 1 analiza un Gran Premio más bien aburrido, en el primer episodio, pero habrá tiempo esta semana para preparar el siguiente y analizar el Sierra Morena. Belleza, velocidad,… y falta de emoción. A pesar de la increíble belleza de la pista japonesa, de la tremenda velocidad de los F1 en ella, incluso llegando a batir el récord de vuelta más rápida en el trazado, el fin de semana en Suzuka sólo tuvo un punto de emoción, la clasificación. Verstappen sentenció el fin de semana el sábado, sacando petróleo de un coche que tiene problemas y que fue de menos a más durante todo el fin de semana. Él sabía que adelantar aquí con estos coches es muy difícil y se sacó una vuelta estratosférica, apenas unas milésimas mejor que la de los McLarens. Es Verstappen y, como dijo Alonso, ahora mismo solo él es capaz de hacer esto. La carrera no tuvo prácticamente nada, ni siquiera la salida y, como mucho, destacar la parada en la que Norris intentó adelantar a Verstappen a la salida del pitlane. Sin embargo, el holandés ni se despeinó y dejó a su rival a raya, recortando la hierba del circuito japonés… seguramente para que no volviera a incendiarse. Las claves de la carrera en Japón. En resumen, en esta pista hay poco espectáculo porque, como bien apunta Jeremy Clarkson, las pistas en las que es difícil adelantar, no dan espectáculo (aunque él es más drástico y propone sacarlas del calendario…). Aquí, lo importante es conseguir la Pole, pues se ha ganado desde ahí en 8 de las últimas 13 carreras… y en 12 de ellas se ganó desde la primera fila. Después de Verstappen, Norris y Piastri terminaron Leclerc, Russell y Antonelli. Y sólo tras el rookie de Mercedes terminó Hamilton, que aún no se ha adaptado totalmente a su nuevo coche y equipo. Tsunoda, recién subido en el Red Bull, tan sólo consiguió ser 12º. Por otra parte, y hablando de los equipos y pilotos españoles, pobre desempeño de Sainz (14) respecto de Albon (9) - aunque ya sabemos que el madrileño siempre empieza bajo la temporada y luego va mejorando, máxime adaptándose a nuevo monoplaza - y poco que decir de Alonso, que se quedó a la puerta de los puntos. Eso sí, su compañero, Stroll, que había hecho tan buen inicio de temporada, estuvo totalmente perdido (20).

Vuelve la Fórmula 1 y vuelve de madrugada, en Asia, en esta ocasión comenzando un triplete en Japón, una de las pistas más queridas por los aficionados. En el segundo episodio de la semana del Podcast Técnica Fórmula 1 terminamos de prepararnos para un fin de semana al estilo tradicional (con sus tres sesiones de libres) y con muchas incertidumbres sobre los equipos. Una carrera más rápida que en 2024. Tal y como indican desde Pirelli, tras las simulaciones previas al evento, realizadas a partir de los datos suministrados por los equipos, parece que los tiempos por vuelta bajarán gracias al efecto combinado del agarre adicional de la nueva superficie y el aumento del rendimiento de los coches de 2025, que se calcula que rondará el segundo y medio. Un circuito exigente con los pilotos. Según nos indican desde Brembo, el Autódromo Internacional de Suzuka está clasificado como uno de los circuitos menos exigentes en cuanto a frenada: en una escala del 1 al 5, ocupa el puesto 1 en el índice de dificultad, sólo igualado por Silverstone. Esto no significa que requiera menos esfuerzo por parte del piloto; lejos de ello, para completar una vuelta realmente buena en Suzuka, hay que prestar atención a todos los detalles debido a las subidas y bajadas de la pista y al trazado en forma de 8 que lo convierte en el único circuito del mundial con un paso subterráneo (entre las curvas 9 y 10) y un paso elevado. De los 12 puntos de frenada del Circuito Internacional de Suzuka, sólo 2 se consideran exigentes para los frenos, 3 son de dificultad media y los 7 restantes son ligeros.

In Rescue and Remembrance: Imagining the German Collective After Nazism (U Wisconsin Press, 2025), Kobi Kabalek examines how the rescue of Jews during the Holocaust has been understood and represented in Germany from the Nazi period to the present. In many regions outside Germany, a small number of known Holocaust rescuers are often held up as exemplars of broad pro-Jewish sentiment among that country's population during World War II, thereby projecting an image of national moral virtue. Within Germany, by contrast, rescuers are often presented in both scholarship and public commemoration as a small minority; their examples condemn the majority by showing what Germans could have done but did not do. Kabalek argues that such simplistic depictions of the majority versus minority obscure the complex motivations and situations that led people in Nazi Germany to help persecuted Jews. Against the view that the rescuers were "forgotten" after the war, he shows that portrayals and interpretations of helping Jews appeared in various media and social discourses in East, West, and unified Germany and were used to actively debate questions of collective morality. Rescue and Remembrance analyzes the varied and changing depictions of rescue in the distinct German politics from the Nazi period, examining how the very notions of "majority" and "collective" were articulated and reformulated. Kobi Kabalek is Assistant Professor of German and Jewish Studies, Penn State University, since 2019. He earned his Ph.D. in history from the University of Virginia, with a dissertation on “The Rescue of Jews and the Memory of Nazism in Germany” (2013). In 2014-2017 he was a post-doctoral fellow at the Hebrew University in Jerusalem as part of the ERC project “Experience, Judgment, and Representation of WWII in an Age of Globalization,” and examined conflicting perspectives concerning the war in Mandatory Palestine and their impact on the postwar historiography of Israel and Zionism. Former editor of The Journal for Holocaust Research and assistant editor of History & Memory. His research focuses on historical perceptions, moral sentiments, and memory in film, literature, auto/biography, oral narratives, art, etc., in German, Israeli, and global Holocaust history. He currently explores marginalized and extreme phenomena in Holocaust testimonies, historical writing, and popular culture – with special attention to the role of fantasy, imagination, and horror – and their impact on our understanding and representation of the Holocaust.

Segundo episodio de la semana para el Podcast Técnica Fórmula 1, que se centra esta vez en otras dos competiciones, no sólo en la Fórmula 1. Por un lado, el vistosísimo Rally de Kenia; por otro, la fabulosa carrera, sin un segundo de descanso para aburrirse, de la Indycar en Thermal, California. Montaña rusa en Kenya. La edición de 2025 del Rally de Kenya fue una montaña rusa: al principio, todo parecía caer del lado de Hyundai, luego de Toyota y al final tuvimos mezcla de todo. Eso sí, brutal la victoria de Elfyn Evans (2ª consecutiva), que mantiene a la marca japonesa en el Olimpo de este rally, y que se está mostrando con más confianza y seguridad que nunca. Sin embargo, la prueba no fue fácil para nadie: los problemas mecánicos, los errores, las salidas de pista, el fes fes, el aquaplanning y los pinchazos dieron duro a todos. Como siempre, un rally que no deja indiferente, sin duda. En resumen: una prueba que parece que pertenece a Toyota, pero que no le fue mal tampoco a los Hyundai, que ocuparon el segundo y el tercer puesto en el podio. Por cierto: los trofeos del Rally, quizás los más bonitos de todo el año, no sólo del WRC, sino de todas las competiciones deportivas de motor. Thermal: Territorio Palou. Y no pudimos terminar el fin de semana de mejor manera: si la carrera de Fórmula 1 en China había sido muy buena y el final de Rally de Kenya, espectacular, lo de la Indycar y Palou en Thermal fue la guinda del pastel. Así uno no se cansa nunca de coches. Thermal, carrera que el año pasado fue de exhibición, este año ha sido también una exhibición, pero de Alex Palou. Antes de empezar la carrera ya lo avisó su jefe, Chip Ganassi: “de Palou sólo hemos visto el inicio de una carrera llena de éxitos”. Aquí tuvimos que frotarnos los ojos con un Palou de otro planeta (es el Max Verstappen en Estados Unidos, vamos), que ganó la carrera en el último stint, cuando todo apuntaba a un doblete de Arrow McLaren con O’Ward y Lundgaard incontestables. Pero una estrategia excelente con las gomas blandas, más un Palou implacable cambiaron todo el panorama en las últimas 15 vueltas de la carrera. Qué manera de cuidar las gomas y, al mismo tiempo, ganar tiempo a sus rivales vuelta tras vuelta… un auténtico espectáculo. Este próximo fin de semana toca descansar de las 4 ruedas (aunque tendremos MotoGP en el COTA, y estamos deseando volver a ver a Márquez con una moto competitiva en “su feudo”). Pero el siguiente, para comenzar bien el mes de abril, vuelve la acción y, además, tendremos ERC en Córdoba, con el Sierra Morena, donde veremos caras muy, muy conocidas.

Santiago González comenta lo sucedido en el Congreso y palabras de tonnntos patrios. El Pleno del Congreso de los Diputados vivió este jueves un episodio de gran tensión después de que el PSOE se negara a aplazar la votación del proyecto de ley de desperdicio alimentario, a pesar de la petición del Partido Popular. La controversia surgió porque la Mesa del Congreso, con los votos del PSOE y Sumar, excluyó varias enmiendas previamente aprobadas en el Senado, lo que también provocó protestas de ERC y Junts. Ante esto, el PP solicitó posponer el debate hasta que se resolvieran las reclamaciones y se emitiera un informe de legalidad, pero la Junta de Portavoces rechazó la petición al no haber unanimidad.Dura bronca en el Congreso entre Tellado y De Celis por "mutilar" una Ley enmendada en el SenadoMaite Loureiro | Leticia Barquín El enfrentamiento se produjo cuando el portavoz del PP en el Congreso, Miguel Tellado, pidió intervenir para insistir en el aplazamiento. Sin embargo, el presidente en funciones de la Cámara, Alfonso Rodríguez Gómez de Celis, le negó la palabra en ese momento, asegurando que podría hablar antes de debatir el punto correspondiente. Ante la negativa, Tellado protestó golpeando su escaño y permaneció de pie, lo que llevó a que el resto de los diputados populares se levantaran en señal de apoyo. La tensión se incrementó con intercambios de reproches entre la bancada popular y la Presidencia, que realizó dos llamadas al orden antes de continuar con la sesión. La Presidencia de esta Cámara trabaja a las órdenes del Gobierno. Exigimos que se someta a votación la alteración del orden del día porque se han mutilado enmiendas aprobadas por el Senado.

In this episode, I sit down with Hart Lambur, the co-founder of Risk Labs, the team behind UMA and Across Protocol, two projects solving some of the biggest challenges in crypto—cross-chain interoperability and on-chain data verification.Ethereum has scaled, but in the process, it's fragmented into over 50 Layer 2s, creating a messy user experience. Hart and his team are pushing for a cross-chain intent standard (ERC-7683) to make blockchain transactions feel instant and seamless—because let's be real, waiting minutes (or days) to move assets across chains is a joke.We also dive deep into:The “two-second rule” for crypto UX and why speed is kingHow ERC-7683 enables cross-chain swaps without waiting for block confirmationsWhy Ethereum's fragmentation problem could kill adoption if we don't fix itThe future of prediction markets and decentralized oraclesHow Chainlink maintained dominance in the Oracle space—and whether that's changingWhy AI-powered agents will need blockchain-based dispute resolutionIf you're into DeFi, cross-chain tech, and the future of Ethereum, this episode is packed with insights you won't want to miss.Key Takeaways:✅ Ethereum has scaled, but it now feels like 50 separate chains—interoperability must be solved.✅ The two-second UX rule: If a transaction takes longer, users will lose focus and abandon it.✅ ERC-7683 introduces cross-chain intents, allowing instant swaps by having solvers front transactions.✅ Optimistic oracles (used by UMA) enable decentralized dispute resolution, powering prediction markets like PolyMarket.✅ AI agents will need on-chain contract enforcement—blockchain oracles will play a crucial role.Listen & Subscribe:

On this episode, rural sociologist Dr. Irna Hofman explores how Tajikistan's cotton fields illuminate shifting power dynamics in Central Asia, historically and in the present. She discusses how the Soviet Union once showcased cotton production to visiting delegations—particularly from Muslim-majority countries—as evidence of its development model. Now, as global powers, including Russia, China, and the EU, vie for influence in the region, cotton has again become a strategic commodity—used to forge political ties, secure resources, and drive infrastructure projects. Hofman highlights local communities' active role in shaping these developments, emphasizing that rural landscapes are not simply backdrops for a “New Great Game,” but sites where broader geopolitical forces and grassroots agency intersect. Through her long-term fieldwork, she illustrates how Tajik farmers navigate and negotiate these overlapping external interests, and in doing so, reframe Central Asia's future amidst geopolitical tensions. Dr. Hofman specializes in agrarian and social change in Central Asia, where she has worked since 2012. She completed post-doctoral research at Oxford's Faculty of Asian and Middle Eastern Studies as part of an ERC-funded project "China, law and development." In 2019, she obtained her Ph.D. from Leiden University in the Netherlands with a dissertation focused on the political economy of agrarian transformation in Tajikistan: "Cotton, control, and continuity in disguise: The political economy of agrarian transformation in lowland Tajikistan." Her research interests span political economy, political ecology, and political sociology. In recent years, she has focused on rural labour, gender, and commodity politics. Dr. Hofman is completing a monograph based on her dissertation and post-doctoral research projects. Her research agenda for the coming years centers on the rural everyday of geopolitics, focusing on China's growing assertiveness in the global agrifood regime, shifting geographies of production, and rural labour.

Vinyl collectors - are you the customer for luxury records? In this episode of SURFACE NOISE: B-Side, we break down the booming market for high-end audiophile pressings: those super deluxe, ultra-limited, $100+ vinyl releases that sell out instantly. Are they actually worth it, or are we just falling for the hype?

On this episode of Anchored, Jeremy is joined by Christopher Loesser and Andrew King from Hundredfold Consulting. They discuss how schools could potentially claim hundreds of thousands of dollars in Employee Retention Credit (ERC) funds as compensation for the COVID-19 restrictions they had to accommodate. They outline qualifications and the consulting and filing processes schools must complete before the April 15 deadline. They also talk about how the money can be used, and the ERC success stories they've already seen.
