Continua el debat sobre el futur del Camí de Ronda de Can Juncadella. El govern municipal va retirar del ple d’aquest dilluns, el conveni que havia de permetre desencallar l’obertura d’aquest tram del Camí de Ronda on està ubicada la finca vinculada a l’expresident del Kazakhstan, després que diversos grups municipals demanessin més temps per analitzar-lo i expressessin dubtes sobre el seu contingut. L’acord recollia que l’empresa Flinder Data havia d’assumir el cost íntegre de la redacció del planejament i l’execució de les obres del nou traçat del camí, mentre que el consistori es faria càrrec de la tramitació urbanística. Un cop finalitzades les obres, el camí passaria a ser d’ús públic. El conflicte judicial, que s’allarga des de fa més de quinze anys, ha patit molts entrebancs. El 2016, policia local i agents rurals van obligar a obrir el camí en compliment d’una sentència de l’Audiència Provincial de Girona. Va ser aleshores quan l’empresa gestora va presentar un recurs de cassació i va anar posant traves a les persones que passaven pel camí. Fins al punt que es van arribar a produir enfrontaments entre veïns i la seguretat privada de la finca. Set anys més tard, l’any 2023, una nova sentència del Tribunal Superior de Justícia de Catalunya desestimava el recurs de Flinder Data i tornava a posicionar-se a favor del consistori. Aquest fet va provocar que es ratifiqués de manera definitiva la titularitat pública del camí de Can Juncadella, que va des de Cala Canyelles fins a Cala Morisca. Ara, tres anys després, el camí continua tancat, ja que només la meitat de tot el tram és practicable, i romandrà tancat fins que no es pugui garantir la total seguretat de la ciutadania. És per aquest motiu que l’Ajuntament de Lloret va intentar arribar a un acord amb Flinder Data, perquè el camí pugui ser accessible pels lloretencs, encara que s’hagi de modificar una mica el seu recorregut. Els grups de l’oposició, però, no acaben de fiar-se que l’empresa compleixi l’acord i els preocupa que aquesta trobi la manera de retardar, encara més, l’obertura del camí. En una roda de portaveus, hem recollit les diferents opinions dels grups municipals. Comencem amb el portaveu de Lloret en Comú Frederic Guich, que malgrat formar part del govern, es va mostrar crític amb l’acord per la desconfiança que genera la propietat. Guich explica, que els sembla bé que es retirés el punt de l’ordre del dia, ja que, segons ells, el conveni permetia dilatar a l’empresa, encara més, l’obertura del camí. «Les diferents sentències ens han donat la raó. El camí és públic i s’ha d’adequar la part que no és practicable. I no és practicable perquè durant aquests disset anys que portem, ja s’ha encarregat la propietat de malmetre el camí i de limitar el seu accés.»Frederic Guich Continuem amb Sumem Lloret, i ho fem amb la seva líder Lara Torres. Des de Sumem Lloret, des d’un principi es va dir que es votaria en contra del conveni, diuen que és un tema de fons i que la justícia ha de ser igual per tothom. El grup posa també especial atenció en la passera que la propietat preveu posar, per tal que el camí quedi el més allunyat possible de la seva finca. «La propietat preveu fer una passera de 200 metres, que pensem que l’Ajuntament no té la capacitat d’assumir-ne el manteniment. Creiem que s’ha de continuar negociant perquè aquest manteniment, vagi a càrrec de la propietat.»Lara Torres Des d’ERC, el seu portaveu, Albert Ferrández assegura que per l’actual govern socialista dirigit per Lamelas, la sentència ferma del Tribunal Superior de Justícia de Catalunya no ha estat suficient. Continuar negociant, diu Ferrández, ha estat el primer error. Considera, a més, que el conveni el que fa és posar sobre la taula un camí nou, que no té res a veure amb l’anterior i exigeix que el camí quedi obert de manera provisional, fins que el nou no estigui fet, com a garantia que la propietat compleixi amb la seva part. «No ens fiem ni un pèl de la propietat. És absolutament necessari que el conveni digui que mentre aquest camí nou no estigui executat, la propietat el que ha de fer és netejar el camí original i fer-lo practicable.»Albert Ferrández D’altra banda, Albert Robert, representant de Tots per Lloret, explica que tenint en compte el context del consistori amb la propietat, es van alegrar que el punt quedés fora de l’ordre del dia. «Hauria estat bo que la majoria dels partits representants en aquest Ajuntament tinguessin garantida la seguretat per tirar endavant aquest conveni i, per tant, aquest nou traçat definitiu.»Albert Robert Carlos Clos, portaveu de Junts, assegura que tot i no estar en contra de negociar, desconfien de la propietat, que segons ells, intenta allargar encara més el procediment. A més, explica, des de Junts, també tenen una manca de confiança amb l’alcalde Lamelas, qui lidera la situació. «El que volem tots és que s’obri el Camí de Ronda i hem de treballar perquè estigui obert com més aviat millor. Però creiem que els punts han d’estar molt clars, perquè la propietat ens ha donat moltes mostres de què la seva voluntat no és obrir el camí.»Carlos Clos L’últim a parlar-ne és Alejandro Pérez, representant del govern socialista, que assegura que negocien d’ençà que van entrar al govern i que el lideratge de Lamelas, ha aconseguit avançar fins on no s’havia arribat en tants anys. Tanmateix, entén la desconfiança de l’oposició cap a la propietat, però insisteix que les negociacions han prosperat de manera adequada i demana desembossar d’una vegada per totes la situació. «Entenc que les dificultats que s’han tingut durant aquests anys poden generar desconfiança, però les negociacions han prosperat de manera adequada i ara es tracta de desembossar aquest tema. Com més aviat comencem, abans podrem gaudir d’aquest tram del Camí de Ronda.»Alejandro Pérez Caldrà veure com es desencalla el conflicte i si finalment els grups de l’oposició i govern aconsegueixen arribar a una entesa que permeti als lloretencs poder tornar a gaudir d’aquest tram del Camí de Ronda.

Today for "Rails Report #4":-- When people talk about AI agents, they usually focus on what the agent can do. Can it plan? Can it execute? Can it make decisions? Can it complete a task end to end?But once agents start interacting with real-world systems, another question becomes just as important: how do we know what, or who, we are trusting? That is where modular verification matters.ERC- 8004, in simple terms, points toward a more structured way for agents and systems to prove things about themselves. Instead of relying on vague assumptions or one-off integrations, the idea is to create a modular layer where identity, capabilities, permissions, and verification can be checked more cleanly. Why does that matter?Because agents are only useful if they can operate in environments where other systems are willing to trust them enough to let them act. If an agent is going to move value, access services, trigger workflows, or interact with financial rails, then the system around it needs some way to verify that it is legitimate, authorized, and behaving within bounds.Today, that kind of trust is often handled manually, or through fragmented point solutions. One platform does one check. Another platform does another. A third layer tries to enforce policy. It works, but it is brittle. Modular agentic verification is interesting because it suggests a more composable future. Instead of forcing every application to reinvent trust from scratch, you can build a shared framework where different components handle different parts of the verification problem.That could mean proving an agent's identity. It could mean checking what permissions it has. It could mean validating that it is allowed to perform a specific action. And it could mean making those checks interoperable across systems.The big picture is simple: as agents become more capable, verification becomes more important. Without verification, agents are just software that can act. With verification, they become software that can act inside systems that care about trust, compliance, and accountability.So when we talk about ERC-8004 and modular agentic verification, we are really talking about the plumbing that makes autonomous systems usable in the real world. Not just smarter agents, but trustworthy ones.And once that layer exists, a lot of what comes next in finance, infrastructure, and automated workflows becomes much easier to imagine.-- The podcasts are authored, edited and produced by Raph Grieco (⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠raphael-grieco.com⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ | ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠olivecapital.vc⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠).

Empezar con la diálisis suele implicar replantearse la relación con la comida, y eso incluye comer fuera de casa. Pero salir a comer fuera no tiene por qué estar prohibido. En este episodio, hablamos de los aspectos emocionales y prácticos de comer fuera de casa, desde saber defenderse en los restaurantes hasta encontrar el equilibrio entre las necesidades dietéticas y la calidad de vida.   Notas del ponente Lauren Levy es la propietaria y dietista principal de una consulta privada que trabaja con seguros médicos y se centra en la salud renal. Lauren factura a las compañías de seguros y colabora a diario con pacientes con enfermedad renal crónica (ERC) y nefrólogos para prevenir la progresión de la ERC. A Melissa Bensouda le diagnosticaron enfermedad del riñón crónica tras dar a luz a su segunda hija. Tras el nacimiento de su tercer hijo, había perdido por completo la función renal. En junio de 2002 la incluyeron en la lista de espera de trasplantes. Aunque al principio Melissa comenzó los tratamientos de diálisis en un centro especializado, fue seleccionada para participar en un programa de hemodiálisis nocturna en casa. Tras seis semanas de formación exhaustiva, Melissa instaló una máquina en su dormitorio y se sometía a diálisis por su cuenta cada dos noches durante ocho horas mientras dormía. En abril de 2012 recibió el regalo de la libertad gracias a un donante fallecido. Casi cinco años después del trasplante, el riñón trasplantado a Melissa sufrió un rechazo, lo que la obligó a reanudar la diálisis en casa. La pasión y el compromiso de Melissa con la sensibilización se han reavivado tras un recorrido tan largo. A pesar de trabajar a tiempo completo y criar a tres hijos, Melissa está decidida a seguir defendiendo la tecnología, la educación y la investigación para mejorar los resultados de las personas afectadas por la enfermedad del riñón.   Alimentación para pacientes renales Información sobre cómo salir a comer fuera con confianza Cronómetro

Join Edwin Mata, CEO and Co-Founder of Brickken, for a forward-looking examination of the structural migration reshaping global private finance. For years, traditional private capital markets have remained plagued by manual legal paperwork, siloed asset registries, and illiquid secondary trading loops. While the first wave of real-world asset (RWA) tokenization successfully demonstrated how Web3 rails can represent equity, debt, and real estate on-chain, Edwin argues that tokenization alone is just the preliminary step. Drawing from his background in M&A corporate law and Web3 systems architecture, Edwin details how Brickken is building the operational asset layer for "Agentic Capital Markets"—a paradigm shift where machine-readable financial assets, programmatic compliance standards like ERC-7943, and autonomous AI agents converge to execute end-to-end asset issuance, investor onboarding, and cross-border capital allocation.

Starting a microschool or other innovative learning environment is about far more than curriculum and community. Founders also have to navigate a maze of zoning rules, fire codes, occupancy limits, licensing questions, and other regulatory hurdles that can make or break their schools. In this guest-hosted episode of the LiberatED Podcast, Education Entrepreneurship Lab senior contributor and Baker Creek Academy founder, Denise Lever, talks with Lynn Swanson, Chief Counsel, Education at Stand Together, about the organization's Edupreneur Resource Center (ERC) and how it helps education entrepreneurs tackle legal and compliance challenges before they become major problems. Lynn explains the ERC's free resources—including microcourses, state-specific compliance guides, checklists, and personalized coaching—and shares practical advice for founders facing inspections, regulatory questions, or enforcement actions. She also discusses the most common compliance pitfalls, why facilities issues are often the biggest obstacle for new schools, and how entrepreneurs can stay informed as rules evolve. Whether you're launching a microschool, hybrid homeschool program, learning pod, or other education venture, this conversation offers actionable guidance to help you navigate the legal landscape with greater confidence. *** Sign up for Kerry's free, weekly email newsletter on education trends at edentrepreneur.org.

Roger and Annie preview Roger's upcoming NATP presentation, using ERC and the Kwong case as case studies for how firms can turn disruptive tax changes into revenue rather than just extra work. They walk through the mistakes made during ERC (delayed action, existing-clients-only focus, missed growth opportunity), the closing window on Kwong refund claims, and what firms need in place internally and externally to capitalize on the next unexpected change. The conversation closes with a candid take on AI's role in reshaping the profession, and why proactive communication, not tax return production, is where firms will keep their value.SponsorsPadgett -  Contact Padgett or Email Jeff PhillipsGet NASBA Approved CPE or IRS Approved CELaunch the course on EarmarkCPE to get free CPE/CE for listening to this episode.Chapters(00:00) - Welcome Back Annie (00:50) - Previewing The Conference Talk (02:46) - Clients Want Advisory (08:09) - AI And The Future (10:03) - ERC Lessons Learned (15:16) - Tools For Fast Changes (17:29) - Marketing Beyond Clients (26:05) - OBBA And Data Mining (31:14) - Invest in Tech Stack (32:16) - OBB Client Communication (34:58) - Kwong Case Refund Window (39:29) - Data Mining and Online Accounts (41:45) - Communicate Even If Referring (46:18) - From Awareness to Action Plan (48:08) - AI as Drafting Assistant (49:39) - Future of Advisory Work (53:18) - AI Judgment and Pricing (58:08) - Wrap Up and Next Updates Follow the Federal Tax Updates Podcast on Social Mediatwitter.com/FedTaxPodfacebook.com/FedTaxPodlinkedin.com/showcase/fedtaxpodConnect with the Hosts on LinkedInRoger HarrisAnnie SchwabReviewLeave a review on Apple Podcasts or PodchaserSubscribeSubscribe to the Federal Tax Updates podcast in your favorite podcast app!This podcast is a production of Earmark MediaThe full transcript for this episode is available by clicking on the Transcript tab at the top of this pageAll content from this podcast by SmallBizPros, Inc.

Verds en Comú Podem Sitges atribueix la sortida del govern municipal a l'incompliment de la paraula donada per part d'ERC i Sitges GI en el pacte de govern del 2023 que va fer possible la investidura d'Aurora Carbonell en el que s'establia un relleu de l'alcaldia en el darrer mandat. Carme Gasulla assegura que tant ERC com Sitges GI en el moment de treballar per aquest relleu han modificat condicions i posat impediments per a que es produís aquest relleu que li havia de suposar l'alcaldia als Comuns. Gasulla confirma que les discrepàncies comencen a partir del comunicat de Guanyem Sitges on s'anunciava que no donarien suport al relleu a l'alcaldia i manifesta que "les exigències, les resistències i les noves condicions plantejades pels nostres socis han acabat fent inviables les possibles vies d'acord". Gasulla assegura que no es van garantir les condicions per complir el pacte, que es va traslladar als comuns la responsabilitat per buscar els vots necessaris i que alhora no es van facilitar els compromisos que haurien permès aconseguir aquests suports. El deteriorament de les negociacions per Gasulla arriba en el moment en que segons els Comuns la formació de SitgesGI va proposar a un dels membres dels Comuns entrar a formar part del grup municipalista. L'entrada Carme Gasulla anuncia que Verds en Comú Podem marxa del govern per incompliment del pacte del 2023 per part d’ERC i SitgesGI: «el que no pot ser és exigir a una formació que construeixi una majoria i simultàniament impedir que es doni resposta a les condicions que poden fer possible aquesta majoria» ha aparegut primer a Radio Maricel.

Aurora Carbonell assumirà la carpeta d'Habitatge, Turisme quedarà en mans del regidor Dani Martínez, Drets Socials passarà a Montse Garcia, David Martínez assumirà Educació i Cristina Guiu l'àrea de Platges. Més enllà de la nova redistribució d'àrees el govern assegura que no s'aturarà cap projecte estratègic i que la marxa de Verds en Comú Podem del govern no afectarà al dia a dia del municipi. La situació, assegura Aurora Carbonell, els ha sorprès i discrepen amb els Comuns pel que fa als motius. Tant ERC com SitgesGI hi veuen clau electoral i atribueixen la marxa dels Comuns a la negativa d'El Margalló a donar suport al relleu en l'alcaldia i per tant al no assoliment de la majoria necessària que facilités l'alcaldia a Carme Gasulla. Aurora Carbonell ha manifestat també que les condicions que El Margalló i Fets per Sitges van posar per a donar el sí al relleu i complir així el pacte de govern del 2023 eren, en alguns àmbits, inassumibles i fins i tot il·legals i feien referència a assumptes urbanístics. N'han parlat l'alcaldessa Aurora Carbonell i David Martínez, portaveu de SitgesGI. L'entrada Es presenta el nou cartipàs després de la marxa del govern dels Comuns que ERC i SitgesGI atribueixen a la negativa d’El Margalló al relleu en l’alcaldia ha aparegut primer a Radio Maricel.

La gestió de la futura residència per a la gent gran de Lloret de Mar continua generant debat polític. El ple municipal ha aprovat que el servei el gestioni l'empresa pública SUMAR, una decisió que aquest matí els grups municipals han valorat en una roda de portaveus. El govern defensa que es tracta d'una gestió 100% pública i directa, a través de SUMAR, una empresa íntegrament pública especialitzada en serveis socials, i insisteix que no es privatitza ni s'externalitza el servei. La proposta va prosperar amb els vots favorables del PSC, Junts, Tots i Vox, mentre que ERC i Lloret en Comú —que forma part del govern— es van abstenir. Sumem Lloret va ser l'únic grup que hi va votar en contra. Durant la roda de portaveus, les diferents formacions han exposat els seus arguments sobre el model de gestió de la residència, tot coincidint en la necessitat que l'equipament entri en funcionament com més aviat millor. Frederic Guich, portaveu de Lloret en Comú, s'ha mostrat crític amb la gestió tot i formar part del govern, i ha justificat l'abstenció del seu grup. «Som crítics perquè creiem que no s’han explorat prou vies, apostem plenament per la gestió pública per part de l’Ajuntament i creiem que la residència ha de ser 100% lloretenca».Frederic Guich D'altra banda, Sumem Lloret ha estat l'única formació que ha votat en contra de la proposta. Una negativa que justifiquen perquè el model de gestió plantejat no els acaba de convèncer. A més, Lara Torres, portaveu del grup, assegura que, tot i haver demanat en diverses ocasions les actes de les reunions on queda recollit el seu desacord, encara no les han rebut. «Considerem que s’ha de fer una anàlisi en profunditat. Hem estat defensores de la residència des del minut 0 i volem que s’obri, però creiem que les coses s’han de fer bé».Lara Torres Pel que fa a ERC, el seu portaveu, Albert Ferrández, s'ha mostrat molt contundent. Considera que la situació és conseqüència de la manca de gestió del govern i ha remarcat que fa un mes que l'Ajuntament té les claus de la residència, però encara no hi ha cap empresa que la gestioni. I ha afegit, que aquesta no és la primera vegada que fan tard, fent referència al Mercat Municipal i amb els pisos del carrer del Carme. «Fa un mes que tenim les claus de la residència i encara no tenim qui les gestioni. I això és perquè aquest govern no ha estat capaç en tres anys de fer la feina que havia de fer».Albert Ferrández Per la seva banda, Jordi Sais, avui representant Tots per Lloret, ha defensat el vot favorable del seu grup perquè considera prioritari que la residència entri en funcionament al més aviat possible, tot i que inicialment la formació s'havia mostrat crítica amb els terminis. «Nosaltres creiem en aquesta residència, però som crítics amb els tempos, és a dir, amb com s’ha anat produint tot el procés».Jordi Sais Des de Junts, Jordi Martínez explica que van votar a favor de la proposta per responsabilitat. També lamenten que no s'hagin explorat altres alternatives per gestionar l'equipament i insisteix en la necessitat que els lloretencs puguin disposar de places bonificades. «S’ha anat tard i no s’han buscat alternatives. El que hem de fer ara és treballar perquè la residència no continuï tancada més temps. Cada dia que passa, això costa diners als ciutadans».Jordi Martínez Finalment, Alejandro Pérez, portaveu del PSC, ha defensat la decisió del govern d’escollir SUMAR com a empresa encarregada de gestionar la residència, assegurant que ha estat una decisió molt meditada i consensuada. Alhora, ha demanat a l'oposició que sigui clara en el seu posicionament. «Els tempos són els que són, no ens agrada el protocol, ens fa anar molt restringits, però és el que hi ha. Ho vam acceptar nosaltres, i ho va acceptar el govern anterior. M’agradaria que fóssim clars».Alejandro Pérez La gestió de la futura residència continua, doncs, generant discrepàncies polítiques, tot i que la majoria dels grups coincideixen en una prioritat: que l’equipament pugui obrir portes com més aviat millor. Des de la ràdio hem contactat també amb Vox, però no hem rebut resposta.

Communities of Sound: Religion, Displacement, and Caste in the Bay of Bengal (Wesleyan University Press, 2026) brings together insights from religion, anthropology, sound, and migration studies to explore the sonic traces of untouchability and forced migration across the Bay of Bengal. Based on an immersive, multi-sited ethnography with Matua devotees—a low-caste, Bengali-speaking Dalit religious community fragmented by Partition, war, and postcolonial displacement—the book explores how sound sustains identity across fractured geographies. Using richly detailed descriptions, the book follows traveling archives of song, story, and ritual performance through West Bengal, Bangladesh, and the Andaman Islands. These sonic practices—congregational singing, drumming, and itinerant storytelling—forge belonging beyond nation-states, connecting the Matua's fifty million members across borders and seas. In a world dominated by visual culture, Communities of Sound centers listening as a mode of knowledge and care, revealing how sound shapes our sense of self and cosmos. More than scriptures or doctrine, it is sound—entangled with authority and power—that binds this transregional Dalit movement and animates its collective action. The book is generously illustrated and references an online companion with video and audio examples. Author bio: Carola E.

Communities of Sound: Religion, Displacement, and Caste in the Bay of Bengal (Wesleyan University Press, 2026) brings together insights from religion, anthropology, sound, and migration studies to explore the sonic traces of untouchability and forced migration across the Bay of Bengal. Based on an immersive, multi-sited ethnography with Matua devotees—a low-caste, Bengali-speaking Dalit religious community fragmented by Partition, war, and postcolonial displacement—the book explores how sound sustains identity across fractured geographies. Using richly detailed descriptions, the book follows traveling archives of song, story, and ritual performance through West Bengal, Bangladesh, and the Andaman Islands. These sonic practices—congregational singing, drumming, and itinerant storytelling—forge belonging beyond nation-states, connecting the Matua's fifty million members across borders and seas. In a world dominated by visual culture, Communities of Sound centers listening as a mode of knowledge and care, revealing how sound shapes our sense of self and cosmos. More than scriptures or doctrine, it is sound—entangled with authority and power—that binds this transregional Dalit movement and animates its collective action. The book is generously illustrated and references an online companion with video and audio examples. Author bio: Carola E.

This episode features a conversation about the Matua community with Carola E. Lorea, Professor of Social and Cultural Anthropology at the University of Tübingen. Lorea is interested in gender, oral traditions, and popular religious movements in South Asia, and she leads the ERC-funded project MANTRAMS: Mantras in Religion, Media, and Society in Global Southern Asia. Lorea is the author of Folklore, Religion and the Songs of a Bengali Madman (Brill, 2016), and with Rosalind Hackett, she also co-edited the volume Religious Sounds Beyond the Global North: Senses, Media and Power (2024, IIAS “Global Asia” series). Her latest book is Communities of Sound: Religion, Displacement, and Caste in the Bay of Bengal, published this year by Wesleyan University Press. Through an ethnographic approach that is both multimodal and multi-sited, the book explores how sound and performance shape the large community of Matua devotees across time and space. In this conversation, Carola discusses the centrality of music, performance, poetry, and storytelling within the history and contemporary religious lives of the Matua community across the Bay of Bengal.

L'alcaldessa de Sitges, Aurora Carbonell, ha anunciat que ERC i els Comuns Verds han arribat a un acord per facilitar el relleu a l'alcaldia a favor de Carme Gasulla que preveia el pacte d'investidura. Carbonell ha explicat que s'han hagut de refer aspectes d'aquell pacte, i ha manifestat que si es produeix el canvi -que necessita els vots favorables de dos regidors de l'oposició i de tot el govern- mantindrà l'acta de regidora. Amb l'alcadessa hem parlat també l'oposició a l'ampliació del termini d'explotació de les pedreres del Garraf, que serà objecte d'una moció al proper Ple, de les obres passades i futures del tren, o de la petició feta a la Generalitat per tal que s'autoritzi l'ús de l'edifici de l'antic Club de Mar. I també, de com resoldre les reivindicacions dels veïns de la Llevantina, la ubicació dels contenidors d'Artur Carbonell, o els permisos a entitats per organitzar activitats. L'entrada Aurora Carbonell confirma el suport d’ERC perquè Carme Gasulla assumeixi l’alcaldia ha aparegut primer a Radio Maricel.

Estamos a punto de iniciar un fin de semana de alto voltaje político en la Comunitat. Por un lado, el acto esta tarde que reunirá a Mónic aOltra, la candidata de Comrpomís a la alcaldía de València, y el portavoz en el Congreso de ERC, Gabriel Rufián, que escenificarán en valència esa búsqueda de un espacio común a la izquierda del PSOE de cara a próximas citas electorales. En el otro lado, el líder del PP, Alberto Nuñéz Feijóo estará mañana en Sueca, en un almuerzo organizado or el PP provincia, el que dirige Vicent Mompó, y en el que también estará Juanfran Pérez Llorca. Pérez Llorca que preside un Consell cuyo portavoz ha dicho hoy que no sabe si se está preparando or parte de la Generalitat algún acto conmemorativo del accidente de metro de València, del que en menos de dos semanas se cumplen veinte años. Lo de los gobiernos del PP y las víctimas, para hacérselo mirar.

La falsa pacificaciónPor Yaiza SantosTenía muy abandonada su sección boom boom boomer, y las declaraciones del presidente de la patronal sobre las bajas laborales de los jóvenes le ofreció la ocasión idónea para retomarla. Cuánta razón y qué simpática Empar Moliner, en ese periódico que para ser nacionalista tiene cosas que no están mal.Si quiere saber si un boomer va en una moto, dijo a Santos, obsérvese si gira la cabeza para ver si viene otro vehículo: en su época nadie miraba los retrovisores.No solamente encuentra papers para sí mismo, sino también para Illa, ¡y para el presidente del Tribunal Constitucional! Un grupo de investigadores ha encontrado que los episodios de "moderación" observados en Cataluña después del proceso, justo en el momento en que el PSC negociaba con ERC y Comuns, solo tenían un fin pragmático, y en ningún caso conllevaron una verdadera transformación de las "creencias subyacentes". Un disparo a la línea de flotación de la ley de amnistía, resumió, que en su preámbulo fijaba como hecho consumado la "pacificación". ¡Pacificación! Quia.Reconvino a Santos, que tanto recomienda esa serie Seinfeld, por no entender las referencias musicales escondidas en su columna de este jueves, a la cual un amable lector le pone una divertida puntilla, y pidió aprenderla de memoria.Le disgustó que el juez Calama, quince minutos después de finalizar la declaración de Zapatero, hiciera constar que el expresidente "no ha logrado desvirtuar los indicios racionales de criminalidad expuestos en el auto de imputación y que derivan de diversas y distintas fuentes de prueba". Y tampoco considera ejemplar el vocabulario utilizado por la portavoz del PP en el Congreso, haciéndole oposición a Rufián.Hoy, en cualquier caso, es un día ideal para leer los periódicos, pues en ellos se encuentran el ying y el yang de la vida. Entender de manera profunda que toda cara A tiene una cara B y viceversa haría más por la salud mental que todas esas bajas laborales pedidas por los jóvenes.Y fue así que Espada yiró.Bibliografía:- Arcadi Espada, "El café no es café, el café es sexo", EL MUNDO.- Boom boom boomer: Don Vaughn et al., "Modulation of attention and stress with arousal: The mental and physical effects of riding a motorcycle", en Brain Research.- Burning: Daniel Cetrà et al., "Words After the Storm: Elite Rhetoric and the Limits of De-Escalation in Postreferendum Catalonia", en Nations and Nationalism.

José Luis Rodríguez Zapatero declara en la Audiencia Nacional por el rescate de Plus Ultra, negando influencias. El juez no le impone medidas cautelares, lo que genera debate sobre su reputación y el caso Begoña Gómez. El Gobierno lo defiende, mientras la oposición critica. La estabilidad gubernamental es cuestionada. Sánchez reitera que las elecciones generales serán en 2027, aunque PNV y Junts piden un adelanto electoral si no se aprueban los presupuestos. Gabriel Rufián (ERC) apoya al Gobierno para evitar que el PP gobierne, evidenciando intereses personales. El conflicto entre Marruecos y el Frente Polisario se intensifica tras la muerte de un líder saharaui por un dron marroquí. España guarda silencio. El Gobierno español apoya la autonomía marroquí por temor a una "marcha verde" sobre Ceuta y Melilla. El INE revela proyecciones demográficas preocupantes para España: en 2041, los hogares unipersonales serán los más comunes; en 2076, un tercio de la población será pensionista y ...

What does it mean, three decades after the demise of the USSR, to inhabit cities built for a future that has never arrived? In pursuit of the question—what is left of the socialist city?—this book aims not only to trace the material and mnemonic remains of the socialist city,  but to show how the Soviet discourse of the city at times engendered radical ideas that challenged the narrow confines of state socialism itself. These ideas are, for instance, the efforts of Esperanto-speaking internationalists from Czechoslovakia to build the internationalist city from below in the Central Asian steppe, the quest of Armenian Futurists to root the architectural style of Soviet Armenia in the country's Persianate heritage, or a Jewish-Kyrgyz philosopher's vision of turning a science town in the hinterland of Moscow into the first ecopolis of the USSR. In an effort to rethink the life and afterlife of the Soviet city from its geographical South, The Death and Life of Southern Soviet Cities: Urban Futures and Their Afterlives (Routledge, 2026) explores the material and immaterial legacies of socialist-era urbanization in Central Asia and the Southern Caucasus. To this end, it embarks on a historical and ethnographic journey to urban sites in Armenia and Kyrgyzstan. In a quest to reconstruct competing visions of urbanity that emerged from within the Soviet South, using varied empirical sources in Armenian, Czech, Kyrgyz, and Russian, the book outlines four urban visions: bottom-up urbanity, rooted urbanity, polycentric urbanity, and ecocentric urbanity. By understanding the social vision of a "socialist city of the future" beyond the political center in its trans-local independence, the book highlights the cultural and linguistic diversity of the Soviet South and its historical embeddedness within the regional dynamics of the Global South. David Leupold is a sociologist, scholar of memory wars and research fellow in the ERC-funded research project REVENANT: Revivals of Empire. He is the author of the prize-winning book Embattled Dreamlands: The Politics of Contesting Armenian, Turkish, and Kurdish Memory (2021), the former principal investigator of the DFG-funded research project Future Images of the Past (2021–2025), and a current resource scholar for the Monterey Initiative in Russian Studies (Middlebury Institute of International Studies). He lives in Berlin.  This interview was conducted by Ernest Lee, PhD student at the University of Chicago. He researches the history of postcolonial energy through the lens of development, infrastructure and environment, with a focus on West Africa and Southeast Asia.  Learn more about your ad choices.

We sit down with Sarah Grace, a specialist mortgage broker who works closely with UK dentists, to unpack what is happening in the mortgage market as a huge wave of borrowers roll off two-year and five-year fixes. If you are moving from a sub-2% deal to something that starts with a four, you are not alone and you are not imagining the shock. We get practical on the decision that matters most right now: fixed rate mortgage versus tracker mortgage. Sarah explains why fixed rates can jump even when base rate holds, how swap rates and the money markets feed into lender pricing, and what that means during periods of global uncertainty. We also talk about the fine print that can save you money later, especially early repayment charges, and why a tracker with no ERC can offer flexibility if you want to switch when the mood changes. For associates and dentists early in their career, we answer a common worry: whether you need two years of accounts to get a mortgage after becoming self-employed. Sarah shares how some lenders can work from three months of pay schedules, how income may be annualised, and how to think about timing when your earnings are still building. Then we go deeper on interest-only mortgages, including equity requirements, lender rules around downsizing as a repayment plan, and alternatives such as using an ISA or an NHS pension tax-free lump sum as the repayment vehicle. ———————————————————————Disclaimer: All content on this channel is for education purposes only and does not constitute an investment recommendation or individual financial advice.

La comparecencia de Pedro Sánchez tendrá lugar tras la declaración del expresidente Zapatero ante el juez Calama. Se trata de una comparecencia que ya habían solicitado varios socios del Gobierno, como ERC, Compromís y Podemos. Además, desde Sumar, su líder Yolanda Díaz ha calificado la situación como "una vergüenza". El Partido Popular ha aprovechado los casos judiciales para volver a exigir el adelanto electoral. Un adelanto que también ha pedido el PNV. El líder del PNV, Aitor Esteban, ha dado por finalizada la legislatura, aunque ha descartado dar sus votos a los populares en una posible moción de censura. Además de las investigaciones que afectan al PSOE, también se están llevando a cabo los procesos judiciales sobre la mujer y el hermano de Pedro Sánchez. Este último se sentó ayer en el banquillo por un supuesto fraude en su contratación en la Diputación de Badajoz. En el caso de Gómez, el juez Peinado le ha dictado que declare el 9 de junio.

Wadoozie is a narrative-driven, on-chain attention network built on Ethereum, pairing a native ERC-20 token ($WADZ) with a real-world 48-state U.S. tour, 576 Signal Fragments redeemable for tokens (336 hidden across the 48 states, 240 in an online pool), and a Publishers Network that pays creators directly from a dedicated 7% of total supply.This episode features two guests from the Wadoozie team. The project is led by Mr. Wadoozie, Senior Internet Architect Engineer of Software, who brings more than a decade of experience in the cryptocurrency industry. He is joined on this episode by Tay, Operations Manager, who has a background in marketing and management and has run operations for multiple crypto projects.The token launches with a roughly one billion effective supply (two billion minted, 999,999,999 burned at launch), 0% buy/sell tax, a DAO-governed locked liquidity pool, and a renounced contract — every parameter publicly verifiable on Etherscan and audited by CertiK.At the center is Wadoozie himself: a returning signal that takes a character's form, traveling the country by tour bus to “activate” each state as a node in a fractured cultural network the mythology calls The Feed. The mission is structured as eight narrative Acts opening with the Austin Flagship and closing back in New Orleans, with seven Flagship cities — Austin, Los Angeles, Las Vegas, Chicago, NYC, Miami, and Nashville — anchoring the arc across roughly four and a half months. After the 48 states wrap, the network expands to Europe.About Our GuestsMr. Wadoozie is the Senior Internet Architect Engineer of Software on the project, with more than a decade of experience in the cryptocurrency industry.
