The CIA has organized coups d'etat in countries around the world. But this is not just history; it still happens today. US ambassador to Greece Kimberly Guilfoyle, a top ally of Donald Trump (and former fiancée of his son), threatened a Greek minister by pointing to the collapse of Romania's government and saying, “We can do that to any country we want. We can do that here”. Her remarks recalled a comment from oligarch Elon Musk, who declared, "We will coup whoever we want! Deal with it". Ben Norton analyzes US imperialism.

What does it really mean to be community-led?In the nonprofit sector, “community-led” has become a popular phrase, but what does it actually look like when an organization is willing to transfer real decision-making power to the people closest to the work?In this episode of Nonprofit Nation, Julia Campbell talks with Carolyn Daly, Executive Director of Nuya', a nonprofit partnering with Indigenous Maya women in Guatemala to improve health, education, and economic opportunity through community-led solutions. Carolyn has spent the past 13 years working alongside local women leaders as programs have increasingly been designed, led, and sustained by the communities they serve. She is now helping lead a long-term transition of executive leadership to Nuya's Indigenous Guatemalan leadership team. Carolyn shares how this experience has challenged her assumptions about leadership, philanthropy, growth, and sustainability and what nonprofit leaders may need to unlearn and let go of in order to make meaningful community ownership possible.We also dig into a question that many nonprofits and funders wrestle with: Does bigger actually mean better? Carolyn shares what a failed program experiment in Guatemala taught her about the idea of “enough,” and why sustainability and lasting impact may require organizations to rethink their relationship with growth. In this episode, we discuss: What “community-led” really means beyond simply asking for community input  The difference between community participation and community power What it takes to develop local leadership over many years—not just within a grant cycle  Why transferring leadership is about much more than changing someone's title  What Carolyn has had to unlearn about leadership and power How boards, staff, and organizational structures need to evolve when leadership is being transferred  The important work of community leadership that philanthropy often doesn't see or fund  Why leadership development can be difficult to fit into traditional funder metrics  The importance of patient and unrestricted funding What happens when funder priorities don't align with what a community actually needs  Who should define what “impact” means: funders, nonprofits, or the communities being served?  Why nonprofits and funders often equate growth with impact What a failed program experiment in Guatemala taught Carolyn about knowing when “enough” is enough Rethinking sustainability beyond simply having enough money to keep an organization running  Whether a nonprofit leader's success can eventually mean becoming less necessary One uncomfortable question nonprofit leaders and funders should be willing to ask if they genuinely want to become more community-led  About Carolyn DalyCarolyn Daly is the Executive Director of Nuya', a nonprofit that partners with Indigenous Maya women in Guatemala to improve health, education, and economic opportunity through community-led solutions.She is currently helping lead a long-term transition of executive leadership to Nuya's Indigenous Guatemalan leadership team. Over the past 13 years, Carolyn has worked alongside local women leaders to build programs that are increasingly designed, led, and sustained by the communities they serve.Carolyn writes about philanthropy, nonprofit leadership, and community-led development, exploring questions around growth, sustainability, and how philanthropy can better support local leadership. Before joining Nuya', she served as a Peace Corps Volunteer in Guatemala. Short DescriptionWhat does it really mean to become community-led? Carolyn Daly of Nuya' joins Julia to explore transferring power, not just titles, to Indigenous Guatemalan leaders, the challenges philanthropy creates for community-led work, and why nonprofit leaders should question whether growth always equals impact.Suggested Episode HookWhat if becoming a more effective nonprofit leader means learning to give up control?Carolyn Daly joins Julia Campbell to talk about what it really takes to transfer power to the communities nonprofits serve and why sometimes the most meaningful measure of success isn't how much an organization grows, but how much ownership it is able to give away.Take my free masterclass: 3 Must-Have Elements of Social Media Content that Converts

En 1987, Centroamérica llevaba años destrozándose en guerras civiles: Nicaragua, El Salvador y Guatemala sangraban por conflictos que parecían no tener salida. El presidente de Costa Rica, Óscar Arias, propuso algo que sonaba casi ingenuo en medio de tanta violencia: sentar a los cinco presidentes de la región en una misma mesa y hacerlos firmar un compromiso de paz. Lo lograron. El 7 de agosto de 1987, en la ciudad guatemalteca de Esquipulas, los presidentes de Guatemala, El Salvador, Honduras, Nicaragua y Costa Rica firmaron el acuerdo que llevaría el nombre de Arias. No resolvió todo de inmediato, pero marcó el principio del fin de guerras que llevaban años consumiendo la región. Ese mismo año, Arias recibió el Premio Nobel de la Paz. Costa Rica llegó a esa mesa con una ventaja que pocos recordaban. Había abolido su propio ejército casi cuarenta años antes. No negociaba la paz desde la fuerza, sino desde la convicción de que ya la había elegido primero para sí misma. El Señor Jesús llamó bienaventurados a los que hacen la paz, no a los que solamente la desean. Hacerla cuesta, casi siempre, sentarse con quien parece imposible sentarse. La Biblia dice en Romanos 12:18: "Si es posible, en cuanto dependa de vosotros, estad en paz con todos los hombres". (RV1960).

Episode 233:Did you know that in 2023 you could have seen the play at Shakespeare's Globe theatre in London presented in Juba Arabic using a translation by Joseph Abuk which he had produced for the South Sudan Theatre Company in 2011? Cymbeline like all Shakespeare plays has been translated and performed in many languages and productions and publications using translations account for a large part of global reach. In his book ‘If This Be Magic' Daniel Hahn explores the world of translating Shakespeare and looks at the challenges and benefits of Shakespeare in translation. By examining some of the very big and very small decisions a translator has to make when faced with a Shakespeare text Daniel takes the reader into a world or words and meanings and ponders the question of how does Shakespeare remain Shakespeare when every word has been changed?Daniel Hahn is a writer, editor and translator. His recent work alongside ‘If This Be Magic: the unlikely art of Shakespeare in translation', include translations of fiction from Argentina, Mexico, Guatemala and Peru. He is currently co-editing (with Padma Viswanathan) The Penguin Book of Brazilian Short Stories, and re-translating a French children's classic.Daniel very kindly fitted me into his very busy schedule, so I spoke to him over a zoom call from his hotel room in Nepal where he is about to hold some workshops for translators.Links to ‘If This Be Magic:Amazon UK: https://www.amazon.co.uk/If-This-Magic-Shakespeare-Translation/dp/1805301624/ref=sr_1_1?

Send us Fan MailTHE LEAST OF THESESENIOR PASTOR KEITH STEWARTMatthew 25:31-46Thirty-six years ago, we planted Springcreek Church. Over the years, God has been changing the church we planted-expanding our vision, softening our hearts, and teaching us to see Jesus in unexpected places.In this message, Pastor Keith shares powerful stories from Kenya, Brazil, and Guatemala, and unpacks what Jesus teaches in Matthew 25 about the surprising ways He shows up "incognito" among the poor, the hurting, and the forgotten. This isn't just a message about helping others. It's an invitation to encounter Jesus, to live with compassion, and to become more fully the church He's calling us to be.DISCUSSION QUESTIONS 1. Keith described his encounter with Oliver as a moment when he realized, “He was rich. I was poor.” What do you think he meant? In what ways can someone possess material wealth and still experience another kind of poverty? 2. Read Matthew 25:31–46 together. What stands out to you most about the criteria Jesus uses to distinguish the sheep from the goats? What, if anything, makes you uncomfortable or challenges the way you have thought about following Jesus? 3. The message says, “The way you respond to ‘the least of these' demonstrates where your true identity lies.” Why are acts of compassion evidence of genuine faith rather than a way of earning salvation? 4. Both the sheep and the goats seem surprised by Jesus' verdict. Neither group realized that their treatment of vulnerable people was actually their treatment of Jesus. What does that suggest about the kind of life Jesus expects His followers to live? 5. Keith said, “Jesus is constantly showing up in our lives incognito.” How might believing that change the way you see someone who is poor, homeless, imprisoned, addicted, lonely, sick, an immigrant, or otherwise vulnerable? 6. One of the strongest warnings in Matthew 25 concerns sins of omission—not merely the wrong things we do, but the right things we fail to do. Where are you most tempted to see a need but assume someone else will take care of it? 7. Jesus mentions remarkably ordinary acts: feeding someone, offering a drink, welcoming a stranger, providing clothing, caring for the sick, visiting a prisoner. Why do you think Jesus places such significance on things almost anyone can do? What is one simple act of compassion that is realistically within your reach right now? 8. In both the Oliver and Gabriel stories, Keith went into impoverished communities assuming he had something to give and discovered that he was also the one who needed to receive. What can we learn from people whose life circumstances are very different from our own? How does this keep Christian service from becoming paternalistic? 9. Keith concluded, “Thirty-six years ago, we planted a church. Somewhere along the way, God began changing the church we planted.” What kind of church do you believe God is continuing to form Springcreek into? What would it look like for us—not merely church programs or staff—to become more fully that church? 10. Personal challenge: Who is one person or group of people you may have been overlooking, avoiding, judging, or simply failing to notice? What would it look like this week to approach that person not merely as someone who needs something from you, but as someone through whom you might encounter Jesus?

Are you chasing double-digit returns on mortgage notes only to risk losing your principal in a second-lien wipeout? Would you like to still invest while traveling the world? Then this is the episode you'll want to take some notes on! In this episode, Scott Carson sits down with former defense software engineer turned international digital nomad Harley Green, founder of InvestAway. Broadcasting live from Antigua, Guatemala, Harley shares how he transitioned from active house flipping and corporate 401(k) management to managing over $5M in first-lien private real estate debt in just a few hours a week. Harley pulls back the curtain on common pitfalls self-directed IRA (SDIRA) and passive investors face in today's shifting housing market. He breaks down why junior debt positions carry extreme risk, how to evaluate real-world After Repair Value (ARV) cushions, and how he leverages an lean tech stack with AI-driven underwriting to scale a private lending business without hiring a massive corporate team. Scott and Harley also explore co-lending structures that yield 15% annualized returns, extension terms that prevent defaults, and key markets in the Southeast. The Dangers of Second-Lien Notes: Why junior positions get wiped out in bankruptcy or foreclosure when first liens balloon with legal fees. Transitioning Corporate Wealth: Rolling 15 years of defense industry 401(k) funds into self-directed IRAs to become the bank. The High-Yield Sweet Spot: Structuring 4- to 9-month short-term fix-and-flip loans across single-family and small multifamily assets. Underwriting & Risk Protection: Capping maximum loan-to-value at 75% of ARV and managing extended days on market in softer regions. Southeast Growth Markets: Why markets in Tennessee, Alabama, Georgia, and Kansas City offer ideal entry-level inventory for flipping. AI & Tech Operations: Utilizing custom AI agents to scrub title commitments, flag errors, and manage borrower updates with a single virtual assistant. Passive Co-Lending Structures: How passive SDIRA investors can earn 15% annualized net returns backed by first-position real estate. Borrower Retention & Legal Compliance: Partnering with specialized private lending attorneys instead of relying on title companies or generic templates. Stop chasing high-risk yield and learn how to secure your capital as a first-lien private lender!

Fifty years after Woodswoman introduced readers to a woman building an independent life in a remote Adirondack cabin, Anne LaBastille still captures the imagination. But the cabin on Twitchell Lake was only one part of her remarkable story.We talk with seventh-generation Adirondacker and author Penny Harr about her new book, Anne LaBastille: A Biography of the Woodswoman, and the woman she discovered through years of interviews and archival research.Anne was a wildlife ecologist, writer, licensed Adirondack guide, Adirondack Park Agency commissioner and international conservationist. She earned her Ph.D. from Cornell, conducted environmental work in Guatemala and elsewhere around the world, and built a career in fields where women were often expected to stay on the sidelines.Penny takes us beyond the familiar legend to explore Anne's fierce independence, complicated personality, relentless work ethic and lasting influence on the Adirondacks. We also visit the story behind her famous cabin, now preserved at Adirondack Experience in Blue Mountain Lake, and consider why her ideas about wilderness, silence, conservation and slowing down outdoors still feel so relevant 50 years later.What you'll hear in this episodeHow Anne LaBastille found her way to the Adirondacks.The reality behind building and living in her Twitchell Lake cabin.The scientist and conservationist behind the Woodswoman legend.How she broke barriers in male-dominated fields.Why Woodswoman became a symbol of independence for generations of women.How Anne's cabin and conservation legacy are being preserved today.Why her message about wilderness, silence and protecting the Adirondacks still resonates.Resources:Anne LaBastille: A Biography of the WoodswomanAnne LaBastille's Cabin at Adirondack Experience Woodswoman by Anne LaBastilleAdirondack Center for WritingProduced by NOVA

What happens when a group of doctors decides that the best way to study a sexually transmitted disease is to make absolutely sure their patients have it?In this episode of Torture: A Dark History, Kevin Young and Dan Hourigan uncover one of the darkest chapters in the history of American medicine: the Guatemalan Syphilis Experiments. Beginning with historian Susan Reverby's discovery of John Cutler's research papers in 2003, we trace how a secret medical experiment conducted in Guatemala between 1946 and 1948 deliberately exposed prisoners, soldiers, psychiatric patients, sex workers, and others to syphilis, gonorrhea, and chancroid.We follow the story from the rise of syphilis as a major public health concern after World War I, through the discovery of penicillin, and into the increasingly disturbing experiments carried out by American researchers who wanted controlled subjects for their research. What began with attempts to study sexual transmission eventually involved deliberate infections, repeated exposures, painful procedures, and subjects who were often never told what was actually being done to them.We'll also look at some of the individual victims whose stories survived in the records, including Berta, a psychiatric patient who was deliberately infected with multiple diseases before her death, and the children who were subjected to medical procedures despite never being deliberately infected with syphilis.And naturally, Kevin and Dan bring their dark sense of humor to a story where the phrase “medical experiment” somehow manages to become more horrifying with every page of documentation.This is dark history, medical experimentation, true crime, the history of syphilis, and one of the most disturbing chapters in the history of American medicine.Please like, subscribe, and follow where ever you listen.The New Website!!!!The Beard StrugglePodUp!PatreonMerchBuy Us A CoffeeYouTubeFacebookInstagramBlue SkyTiktokThe Sassholes Insta!!Music from Uppbeat (free for Creators!):https://uppbeat.io/t/all-good-folks/curiosityLicense code: 7QU9IW0B2IJBFZJYMusic from Uppbeat (free for Creators!):https://uppbeat.io/t/christian-larssen/suburban-honeymoonLicense code: 1OKNVEXYPW8QAYSHMusic from #Uppbeat (free for Creators!):https://uppbeat.io/t/kevin-macleod/bass-vibesLicense code: YYUZSRCQDGQROBB4Music from #Uppbeat (free for Creators!):https://uppbeat.io/t/mountaineer/kick-backLicense code: QMHHB6U0M6H9WWENRead lessMusic from #Uppbeat (free for Creators!):https://uppbeat.io/t/albert-behar/tickling-the-ivoriesPlease give us a 5 star rating and review!!Advertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy

Send us Fan MailEvery year when we raise money for Guatemala, God seems to stretch Hope a little further. The goal gets bigger. The opportunity gets bigger. And every year, we watch God provide. But God has also been teaching us something: we aren't called to just watch what God is doing—we're called to be part of it.In Luke 9, Jesus makes a major shift with His disciples. After spending chapter after chapter watching Jesus teach, heal, and perform miracles, the disciples are now sent out to participate in His mission. Jesus calls them, equips them, teaches them to depend on God, and sends them to go.In this message, “Just Go!”, we discover three truths about what it means to follow Jesus:If He sends you, He'll equip you. You don't have to feel qualified or have everything figured out before God can use you. Your job is to go; His job is to provide the power.You don't have to have all the provision yet. Jesus taught His disciples to depend on God rather than their own plans, resources, or security. Sometimes faith means going before you know exactly how God will provide.You can't control the response. We are responsible for being faithful and sharing what God has given us—not for controlling how people respond. We bring the witness; God brings the results.The mission may be bigger than you, but the One who sent you is bigger than the mission.Where is God calling you to go? What are you trying to control that you need to surrender to Him? And who has God already placed in front of you that needs to hear about Jesus?Jesus told them to go, and they went. Maybe it's time for us to do the same. Just go!Support the show

What happens when music becomes more than entertainment?In this deeply personal conversation, we explore the intersection of music, consciousness, spirituality, self-discovery, meditation, creativity, and healing.The conversation takes us from Guatemala and the mystery school Las Piramides to years of meditation, extended silent retreats, creative exploration, psychedelic experiences, and the search for deeper states of consciousness without relying on external substances.We also explore how music can become a form of spiritual practice, how creativity can emerge through intuition and presence, why authenticity matters more than commercial success, and how sound can create a profound sense of connection between people.From discussions about Burning Man, Lake Atitlán, Vipassana, breathwork, retreats, psychedelics, suffering, healing, and the creative process to reflections on wealth, freedom, love, presence, and the meaning of life, this episode is ultimately a conversation about looking inward.A conversation about going beyond the music to understand the person, the journey, and the consciousness behind it.⏱️ Chapters00:00 — The Journey Begins: Guatemala, Music & Consciousness03:16 — Leaving Colorado & Discovering a New World09:23 — The Milestones That Shaped the Journey11:09 — Vipassana, Silence & Deep Retreats12:16 — Three Months Alone in the Mountains15:03 — Spiritual Development Over Material Success16:20 — Can Music Heal?

A boat's wake looks harmless right up until you watch it happen over and over. Every wake a boat throws off chips away at a shoreline that took centuries to build, and it happens on calm days, sunny days, days with no storm anywhere near. A NOAA study at Snow's Cut, North Carolina found that roughly half of all boat wake heights on that stretch of the Atlantic Intracoastal Waterway exceeded the largest wind driven waves measured there, and boats moving at the slow, considerate seeming "plowing" speed threw the tallest wakes of all. Habitat pushes back, and now that push has a number attached to it. A study by Doughty and colleagues found mangroves and marsh can reduce wave height by up to 90 percent, and marsh grass paired with an oyster reef cuts wave energy from boat wakes specifically by 67 percent compared to bare mud. Once a benefit like that is measurable, it becomes fundable: global blue carbon storage in mangroves, marsh, and seagrass is valued at nearly $191 billion a year, and a single restored 100 acre wetland saves local water systems about $17,000 a year, the same figure from earlier this week's Nature's Kidneys episode. Mexico's Riviera Maya coastline puts that funding model into practice. Its coral reef shields around $10 billion in annual tourism revenue, but that value sat informal for years, until a 2018 partnership between The Nature Conservancy, the Quintana Roo state government, local hotels, and the insurer Swiss Re turned it into a parametric insurance policy on the reef itself. When Hurricane Delta hit in 2020, the policy paid out $850,000 within days, funding volunteer brigades that stabilized over 2,150 coral colonies and reattached more than 13,500 coral fragments within three months. This episode closes out this week's coastal habitats series and lands on the one call to your local marina or town council that can actually move the needle. Takeaways: Boat wake erosion is mechanical, not climate driven: NOAA's Snow's Cut study found roughly half of boat wake heights exceed the largest wind driven waves, and slow "plowing" speed produces the tallest wakes of all. Healthy habitat is a measured defense: mangroves and marsh can reduce wave height by up to 90 percent, and marsh paired with an oyster reef cuts boat wake wave energy by 67 percent (Doughty et al., PeerJ). Once a coastal benefit is measurable, it becomes fundable: global blue carbon storage is valued at nearly $191 billion a year, and a single restored 100 acre wetland saves about $17,000 a year in water treatment costs. Mexico's Riviera Maya reef shields around $10 billion in annual tourism revenue, and a 2018 insurance partnership turned that value into a parametric policy that pays out automatically after a storm, no lengthy damage assessment required. When Hurricane Delta hit in 2020, that policy paid out $850,000 within days, funding the stabilization of over 2,150 coral colonies and the reattachment of more than 13,500 coral fragments within three months. The model is now expanding to Belize, Guatemala, and Honduras, with mangroves named as the next expansion.

What can happen when one little boy's love of music becomes a movement? Mike Gomoll never expected epilepsy advocacy to become his life's work. Mike and his wife adopted their son Joey from Guatemala as an infant. About a month after Joey came home, he experienced his first seizure. Eventually, Joey was diagnosed with Dravet syndrome, a rare form of epilepsy. Joey was non-speaking, but music became one of his greatest connections to the world. When music started playing, Joey wanted everyone around him dancing. After Joey died just before his fifth birthday, Mike took an idea he had already begun imagining and created Joey's Song, an organization built around one goal: helping the next family. What began with CDs and small acoustic release parties grew into an annual rock-and-roll event bringing together artists connected to the Goo Goo Dolls, Garbage, The Bangles, The Go-Go's, Tears for Fears and many more. The musicians donate their time, audiences come for the music, and along the way thousands of people learn about epilepsy. Joey's Song has now raised more than $2 million for epilepsy research. Mike and Alycia also dig into an important reality: epilepsy is often invisible until a seizure occurs. Seizures can also take many different forms, from convulsive seizures to brief lapses in awareness. Around 50 million people worldwide live with epilepsy, and stigma and discrimination remain significant challenges. This conversation is about epilepsy education, research and advocacy, but it is also about community. As Mike says, sometimes we simply need to give people the chance to be good. From a child who loved to dance to rock stars volunteering their time in the middle of a Wisconsin winter, Joey's story continues to bring people together and help the next family.

By now, many of us are familiar with the realities of the Trump administration's violent campaign of mass deportations. But how often do we listen to the stories of some of the most vulnerable victims—young children and teenagers separated from their families? Gabrielle Oliveira, a professor at the Harvard Graduate School of Education, did just that. For her ethnographic study Now We Are Here, she followed sixteen migrant families from Guatemala, Honduras, El Salvador, and her native Brazil from 2018 to 2021.  All of Oliveira's subjects experienced some form of family separation as a result of U.S. immigration policy under Donald Trump. Yet all also managed to remain in the United States, where their educational journeys remain the single most important factor in their lives.  On this episode, Oliveira speaks with Commonweal Director of Mission and Partnership Claudia Avila Cosnahan about how these families have metabolized the trauma of separation. Plus, Commonweal Senior Correspondent Heidi Schlumpf speaks with Dominic Preziosi about the latest in Catholic news, including the midterms, new Catholic converts, and the U.S. Bishops' pointed letter to Donald Trump on behalf of Haitians living in the United States.

El 15 de septiembre de 1821, Centroamérica entera quedó libre de España. Pero en Costa Rica nadie lo sabía todavía. La provincia siguió funcionando exactamente igual —las mismas autoridades, la misma rutina colonial— porque la noticia viajaba desde Guatemala en el lomo de una mula, y el camino era largo. El mensaje llegó a Cartago hasta el 13 de octubre. Solo entonces los costarricenses se enteraron de que, técnicamente, llevaban casi un mes siendo libres sin haberlo sabido ni vivido como tal. Todavía tardarían dos semanas más en reunirse y firmar su propia acta de adhesión, el 29 de octubre. Algo parecido le ocurre a muchos creyentes con la libertad que Cristo ya ganó en la cruz. El perdón quedó firmado hace dos mil años; la culpa dejó de tener autoridad legal sobre quien está en Cristo. Y sin embargo, hay quienes siguen viviendo bajo el mismo peso de siempre, rindiendo cuentas a un imperio que ya no gobierna, simplemente porque la noticia nunca terminó de llegarles del todo. La libertad firmada en la cruz no cambia nada en una vida hasta que esa vida se entera de que ya es libre. La Biblia dice en 2 Corintios 3:17: "Porque el Señor es el Espíritu; y donde está el Espíritu del Señor, allí hay libertad". (RV1960).

In this episode of the On The Water Podcast, we dive deep into the pursuit of some of the biggest game fish in the ocean. From finding the right water and reading currents to getting a blue marlin to eat a lure, there are countless variables between spotting a fish and getting it to the boat.Our guest breaks down why the hunt for blue marlin over 500 pounds is so rewarding, the challenges of lure fishing, bait-and-switch tactics, sonar, and why even the perfect presentation doesn't guarantee a hookup. We also talk about some of the world's most remarkable blue marlin fisheries, including Kona, Guatemala, Cape Verde, Mozambique, the Azores, Brazil's Royal Charlotte Bank, and the Galápagos.And then there are the moments you simply can't plan for—including a 600-plus-pound blue marlin launching out of the water and smashing into the side window of the boat.No hype. No shortcuts. Just real conversations about fishing, boating, and what it takes to do it right.Subscribe to On The Water for more fishing and boating content.#BlueMarlin #MarlinFishing #OffshoreFishing #BigGameFishing #FishingPodcast #OnTheWater

La inteligencia artificial ya está en la vida diaria de cualquier persona, pero pocas veces se piensa en cómo el Estado la usa (o debería usarla) sin poner en riesgo a los ciudadanos. En este episodio, Lucy Rodríguez conversa con Edgar Valdés, especialista en inteligencia artificial invitado por Diálogos Guatemala, quien visita el país para un evento con la Universidad del Valle de Guatemala sobre el uso ético de la inteligencia artificial en el sector público.La conversación recorre ejemplos concretos: desde la digitalización de trámites como el acta de nacimiento, hasta el uso de reconocimiento facial en China y lo que eso implicaría en Guatemala. Se habla también del consentimiento en redes sociales, de los sesgos que puede arrastrar un sistema entrenado con datos imperfectos, de por qué siempre debe existir un humano tomando la decisión final, y de cómo la inteligencia artificial podría, en lugar de dividir, ayudar a reconstruir comunidad.

En este ‘Faro Avanzar' hemos querido conocer mejor cómo se construyen los avances de las películas, los tráilers. Para ello hemos hablado con Omar Bermúdez y Carlos Berot, fundadores del estudio Río Bravo, pionero en España en especializarse en el montaje de tráilers y campañas audiovisuales para cine. Como cada miércoles, hemos abierto la consulta del Dr. Bueno, que esta noche nos ha hablado de algunos de los grandes avances de la medicina. Y como ‘Gataparda' nos ha acompañado Claudia Paz y Paz, defensora de los derechos humanos y especialista en derecho penal. Fue la primera mujer en ejercer como fiscal general de Guatemala y durante su mandato consiguió varios hitos: cinco de los diez delincuentes más buscados del país fueron capturados, se resolvieron diez veces más casos de violencia contra las mujeres y homicidios que en administraciones anteriores y llevó ante los tribunales a Efraín Ríos Montt, condenado por genocidio. Ha sido candidata al Nobel de la Paz y, en 2012, la revista Forbes la incluyó entre las cinco mujeres más poderosas capaces de cambiar el mundo.

Claudia Paz y Paz es una defensora de los derechos humanos, especialista en derecho penal. Fue la primera mujer fiscal de su país, Guatemala, y durante su mandato consiguió varios hitos: 5 de los 10 delincuentes más buscados de Guatemala fueron capturados;  se resolvieron 10 veces más los casos de violencia contra las mujeres y homicidios que en cualquier administración anterior, y llevó a los tribunales a Efraín Ríos Montt, responsable del golpe de estado de Guatemala, que fue condenado por genocidio y por las atrocidades que cometió. En 2012 Forbes la nombró "Una de las cinco mujeres más poderosas que cambian el mundo' y en 2013 fue candidata al Nobel de la Paz.

Guatemala atraviesa lo que Daniel Haering y Xavier Soria describen como una de las semanas más difíciles del gobierno de Bernardo Arévalo: la crisis del precio de los combustibles, agravada por la guerra en Oriente Medio, coincidió con una explicación de la Secretaría de Comunicación que terminó siendo motivo de burla en redes al calificar al presidente de "ubicuo".En este episodio, Daniel Haering y Xavier Soria analizan por qué la estrategia de comunicación se ha convertido en el verdadero problema del gobierno, revisan la caída sostenida en las encuestas de aprobación y explican qué se juega el país este mes en tres nombramientos clave: la presidencia del Banco de Guatemala, la Superintendencia de Bancos y la Contraloría General de Cuentas, donde Walter Mazariegos vuelve a mover fichas.

The administration is expanding its third-country deportation campaign.Since President Donald Trump took office last year, more than 25,000 people have been sent to over 29 countries they're not from. That includes places like Liberia, Guatemala, South Sudan, Guyana, Ghana, and Honduras.Now, more than 30 countries have agreed to accept deportees from the U.S. What does that mean for the people sent to a place they've never been? And for the relationship between accepting countries and the U.S.?Find more of our programs online.

La noche del 15 de septiembre de 1821, un grupo de autoridades y vecinos notables se reunió en el Palacio Nacional de Guatemala. Afuera, la gente ya se agolpaba pidiendo una decisión. Adentro, entre discusiones y desacuerdos, redactaron un documento de apenas unos párrafos que declaraba la separación definitiva de la corona española para las provincias de Centroamérica. No fue una guerra ni un ejército libertador entrando triunfante. Fue una decisión tomada de noche, entre hombres que sabían que ese papel cambiaría el destino de generaciones enteras de guatemaltecos, salvadoreños, hondureños, nicaragüenses y costarricenses. La libertad, esa vez, llegó por acta antes que por batalla. Hay libertades que Dios también concede así: no con un milagro estruendoso, sino con una decisión tomada en lo oculto, casi sin testigos, que sin embargo termina liberando a quien la toma y a quienes vienen después de él. El perdón que decides dar hoy, la cadena que decides romper esta noche, puede parecer un gesto pequeño y privado. No lo es. Doscientos años después, esa firma de una noche sigue definiendo la identidad de cinco países. Nunca subestimes lo que Dios puede hacer con una decisión tomada en lo secreto. La Biblia dice en Juan 8:36: "Así que, si el Hijo os libertare, seréis verdaderamente libres". (RV1960).

"It kills more people every year than HIV, tuberculosis, and malaria combined." In this episode, Tim sits down with Shelby Kardas (Executive Director, StoveTeam International) to talk about the smoky-kitchen crisis affecting half the world's population—and why supporting a cause bigger than your bottom line might be the smartest business move a hearth retailer can make. Shelby joins from Cuenca, Ecuador, where StoveTeam has helped install over 80,000 clean-burning cookstoves across Central America since 2008. In this episode, Tim and Shelby cover: - Why a $250 stove changes everything for a family in rural Guatemala—and how the hearth industry has already funded more than 2,000 of them through the 1,000 Stove Challenge - How supporting a cause wins the "coffee table battle"—when customers compare brochures at home, over ninety percent will choose the business that stands for something beyond profit - Why taking your team to stand in a smoky kitchen—or offering an extra week of vacation for volunteer work—builds the kind of committed employees no training seminar ever will Don't miss this conversation if you've ever wondered whether generosity actually moves the needle for your business—Shelby and Tim make the case that doing the right thing and doing good business aren't just compatible, they're the same thing. —— Links from this episode: StoveTeam International: https://www.stoveteam.org/ WhyFire Fireplace AI Visualizer: http://whyfire.com —— Watch this podcast on YouTube: https://youtu.be/hFIFLkQfiso Listen on Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-fire-time-podcast/id1433804268 Listen on Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/4vHdzg48bE5qFf0KjMeMej?si=7b6cae3923d348f2 Read The Fire Time Magazine: https://www.itsfiretime.com/magazine Subscribe to The Fire Time Magazine: https://itsfiretime.com/subscribe Support The Fire Time Podcast financially: https://www.itsfiretime.com/join Want to get more fireplace leads for your company?

Raised in Denmark, Hans Tofte eventually began a lifetime of adventures working for the Special Operations Executive (a precursor to the OSS); the OSS during WWII; and the CIA during the Korean War and afterward. Known for his indefatigable support for Yugoslave partisans in 1943-44; his inolvement in regime change in Guatemala in 1954, and his involvement in the Korean War's Operation TP-STOLE in which he cut off critical medical supplies to Chinese forces fighting in North Korea, (clandestinely supplied by the Indian government) simultaneously saving the U.S. government $1MM and saving many American lives.Author, historian, and former intelligence officer David A.

Are you chasing double-digit returns on mortgage notes only to risk losing your principal in a second-lien wipeout? Welcome back to The Note Closers Show Podcast! In this episode, Scott Carson sits down with former defense software engineer turned international digital nomad Harley Green, founder of InvestAway. Broadcasting live from Antigua, Guatemala, Harley shares how he transitioned from active house flipping and corporate 401(k) management to managing over $5M in first-lien private real estate debt in just a few hours a week. Harley pulls back the curtain on common pitfalls self-directed IRA (SDIRA) and passive investors face in today's shifting housing market. He breaks down why junior debt positions carry extreme risk, how to evaluate real-world After Repair Value (ARV) cushions, and how he leverages an lean tech stack with AI-driven underwriting to scale a private lending business without hiring a massive corporate team. Scott and Harley also explore co-lending structures that yield 15% annualized returns, extension terms that prevent defaults, and key markets in the Southeast. The Dangers of Second-Lien Notes: Why junior positions get wiped out in bankruptcy or foreclosure when first liens balloon with legal fees. Transitioning Corporate Wealth: Rolling 15 years of defense industry 401(k) funds into self-directed IRAs to become the bank. The High-Yield Sweet Spot: Structuring 4- to 9-month short-term fix-and-flip loans across single-family and small multifamily assets. Underwriting & Risk Protection: Capping maximum loan-to-value at 75% of ARV and managing extended days on market in softer regions. Southeast Growth Markets: Why markets in Tennessee, Alabama, Georgia, and Kansas City offer ideal entry-level inventory for flipping. AI & Tech Operations: Utilizing custom AI agents to scrub title commitments, flag errors, and manage borrower updates with a single virtual assistant. Passive Co-Lending Structures: How passive SDIRA investors can earn 15% annualized net returns backed by first-position real estate. Borrower Retention & Legal Compliance: Partnering with specialized private lending attorneys instead of relying on title companies or generic templates.
