Con Yaiza Santos Espera que el plan de Trump para Gaza, irreal y en contra de los más básicos derechos humanos, sea lo mismo a lo que nos tiene acostumbrados el presidente de Estados Unidos: una bravuconada. El asunto le decepciona también por Netanyahu, a cuyos oídos la palabra deportaciones tiene que resonar ciertamente diferente. Pero en fin, él ya sabía –¡ya advirtió!– del pensamiento mágico de Trump, si bien no culpa a los esperanzados: en esa esperanza reside la malignidad del presidente. Hay bravucones menores y tenemos uno muy cerca. Lo último que acredita a Sánchez como tal es eso del observatorio de derechos digitales. En lugar de subirse como sea a un tren que perdió hace mucho, pretende construir uno desde cero, en contra de toda lógica. Nadie, salvo la prensa socialdemócrata, puede creerle ya, pero el presidente del Gobierno insiste en sus ensoñaciones. Por no hablar de su chulería: ¡que hacen todo por la pasta, dice el menda! Claro, que el resto no le va a la zaga, y así, a nivel, está Miguel Ángel Rodríguez. O el bulócrata Bolaños. ¡Oh, cuando este se jactaba junto a González Pons, ese novelista, de haber llegado a un pacto para renovar el CGPJ! Ahora se ve en qué consistía el pacto: no más verdad que una novela, en efecto. Para elevarse del fango, trajo The Economist, que elogia a Milei por su pulsión desreguladora y advierte de que en el Parlamento británico cada vez se habla menos y peor. No pudo dejar de comentar el nombramiento de Nevenka Sánchez Maroto como responsable de contenedores de RTVE y, por supuesto, un nuevo paper candente, que muestra cómo los hombres deconstruidos –¡esos Machos alfa tan simpáticos!– acaban siendo más infelices. En cuanto a lo que está consiguiendo Macron en Francia, no sabe qué le hace más feliz, si tener razón o la mejor del mundo. Es difícil distinguir. Y fue así que Espada yiró.

Jason invites you all to Empowered Investor LIVE this coming April for a great time of learning and fun! Get early bird rates today! https://empoweredinvestorlive.com/ Given the recent tragedies in Los Angeles, North Carolina, Florida and others, and thus the tremendous need to build new houses across the country, Jason wanted to discusses the Hartman Risk Evaluator and the importance of packaged commodities investing for real estate investors. The Hartman Risk Evaluator highlights the benefits of investing in real estate as a means of gaining exposure to commodities, which have intrinsic value. Unlike fiat currencies that depreciate over time, commodities such as lumber, drywall, concrete, steel, and petroleum-based products are essential and globally traded. Rather than investing directly in raw commodities, real estate investors can leverage fixed-rate financing, tax benefits, and appreciation by purchasing "packaged commodities" in the form of homes and apartments. Rising costs of construction materials, driven by supply chain issues and inflation, further support real estate as a strong hedge against currency devaluation. The Hartman Risk Evaluator helps investors minimize downside risk by focusing on markets where the land-to-improvement ratio is lower, meaning more of the investment is in tangible commodities rather than volatile land values. Linear markets, characterized by stable appreciation and landlord-friendly laws, offer the best long-term returns, as opposed to risky cyclical markets with boom-and-bust cycles. Ultimately, investing in packaged commodities via real estate provides a safeguard against inflation while capitalizing on the global demand for essential building materials. #RealEstateInvesting #CommoditiesInvesting #RiskManagement #HartmanRiskEvaluator #InflationHedge #LinearMarkets #CyclicalMarkets #HybridMarkets #InvestmentStrategy #MarketAnalysis #FinancialEducation #AssetDiversification #PropertyInvestment #FinancialLiteracy Key Takeaways: 1:36 https://empoweredinvestorlive.com/ and the race to construction materials and labor Risk Evaluator and packaged commodities investing 4:00 Producer prices up in Feb 12:52 Baselane.com/Jason 16:03 PPI: softwood lumber and other materials 19:20 3 types of markets and LTI ratio Follow Jason on TWITTER, INSTAGRAM & LINKEDIN Twitter.com/JasonHartmanROI Instagram.com/jasonhartman1/ Linkedin.com/in/jasonhartmaninvestor/ Call our Investment Counselors at: 1-800-HARTMAN (US) or visit: https://www.jasonhartman.com/ Free Class: Easily get up to $250,000 in funding for real estate, business or anything else: http://JasonHartman.com/Fund CYA Protect Your Assets, Save Taxes & Estate Planning: http://JasonHartman.com/Protect Get wholesale real estate deals for investment or build a great business – Free Course: https://www.jasonhartman.com/deals Special Offer from Ron LeGrand: https://JasonHartman.com/Ron Free Mini-Book on Pandemic Investing: https://www.PandemicInvesting.com

Jason shares his thoughts on the future of the economy and real estate market from his penthouse in Mexico City. He believes inflation will be a major issue for the next few decades, but this presents a great opportunity for real estate investors. He also recommends investing in income properties for long-term gains and offers a free software (Property Tracker) to help you analyze potential investments. He showcases a sample property in Birmingham, Alabama with a projected 26% annual return on investment. He then invites his listeners to contact their investment counselors for more information. Jason then shares his Hartman Risk Evaluator, a concept for assessing real estate investment risk based on the land-to-improvement (LTI) ratio. Properties consist of land value and improvement (building) value. High land value markets tend to be cyclical and riskier, while high improvement value markets are more linear and stable. Jason discovered this by comparing insurance costs for properties in different markets. Improvements have intrinsic value as packaged commodities, while land values are more volatile. To reduce risk, investors should focus on properties with low land value and high improvement value. This provides a "floor" for the investment and limits potential losses if land values decline. Overall, low land value markets offer more conservative investments. #RealEstateInvesting #Inflation #EconomicOutlook #InvestmentStrategy #PropertyMarket #FinancialPlanning #PassiveIncome #RealEstateTips #InvestmentAdvice #FinancialFreedom #HartmanRiskEvaluator #LandValueVsImprovementValue #EnvironmentalRestrictions #BuildingCosts #IndustrializationImpact #LTIRatio #RiskMitigation #LinearVsCyclicalMarkets #CommodityValue #LowLandValueInvesting Key Takeaways: Jason's editorial 1:19 Greetings from Mexico and the 2:30 Excited about the DOGE 4:58 Rising Housing Costs are Creating Sticky Inflation 6:15 1 Year Performance Projection https://propertytracker.com/ The Hartman Risk Evaluator 15:20 An Orange County house 21:57 My tax bill and the LTI ratio 26:32 A $400K appreciation 30:05 Investment strategy Follow Jason on TWITTER, INSTAGRAM & LINKEDIN Twitter.com/JasonHartmanROI Instagram.com/jasonhartman1/ Linkedin.com/in/jasonhartmaninvestor/ Call our Investment Counselors at: 1-800-HARTMAN (US) or visit: https://www.jasonhartman.com/ Free Class: Easily get up to $250,000 in funding for real estate, business or anything else: http://JasonHartman.com/Fund CYA Protect Your Assets, Save Taxes & Estate Planning: http://JasonHartman.com/Protect Get wholesale real estate deals for investment or build a great business – Free Course: https://www.jasonhartman.com/deals Special Offer from Ron LeGrand: https://JasonHartman.com/Ron Free Mini-Book on Pandemic Investing: https://www.PandemicInvesting.com

Can LIGHT prevent kids from needing glasses? What risk factors can parents help their children avoid? In this episode, Jason Rountree, DC, CMLSO, explores new research on this exciting topic!Links to the studies referenced in this episode are below.Studies:https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC10086781/https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC10086781/https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/37890098/https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/23383553/https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/24674576/Main source: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/38378527/Here is some general information:What is myopia?Nearsightedness is a common vision condition in which close objects look clear but far objects look blurry. It progresses through childhood and this is why many kids 8-14 end up needing glasses.Why does it happen?“Myopia is most frequently characterized by an increase in the axial length of the eyeball” and can be brought on by both environmental [9] and hereditary causes.Oxidative stress and inflammation may be responsible for the altered regulatory pathways in myopia.The primary characteristic of high myopia-related irreversible vision loss is choroidal thinning. The choroid is the vascular middle layer of the wall of the eye.Living in the city and individuals with higher levels of education is a consequence of intensive visual near work, especially in reading, writing, and visual work at the computer. This dependence may be associated with changes in the shape of the cornea or accommodation.The factors predicting faster myopic progression were parents' myopia and less time spent on sports and outdoor activities at childhood. Time spent on reading and close work in childhood was related to myopic progression during the first 3 years but did not predict adulthood myopia. Myopia throughout follow-up was higher among those who watched television

Host: Steve Macchia, Guest: Matt Scott “We all have a rule of life, a way of living, already. The question is, are we living in response to God's invitation for us?” – Steve Macchia A “Rule of Life” has nothing to do with rules. The best way to translate it is the “way” of life. All of us have a rule of life already at work. The question is, are we living in the way that God wants us to be living? In episode eleven, we continue to explore the spiritual practices that are at the heart of Leadership Transformations Inc. and have been celebrated throughout Christendom. This week, Steve and Matt focus on the practice of having a Rule of Life. Steve defines a Rule of Life as “Spirit-empowered rhythms and relationships that create, redeem, sustain, transform the lives that God invites us to humbly fulfill for Christ's glory.” Steve and Matt share how a rule of life will be much more meaningful if we take the time to ask questions about our unique thumbprint and footprint. Our unique thumbprint has to do with the roles and relationships we have, our gifts, our desires, our vision, and our mission in life. Our unique footprint encompasses our spiritual life, our relational life, our physical life, our financial life, and our missional life.

Jason discusses the Hartman Risk Evaluator and the importance of investing in commodities for real estate investors. He highlights the significance of packaged commodities, such as lumber, concrete, and steel, in real estate investments. By analyzing the producer price index, He emphasizes how fluctuations in commodity prices affect the housing market and investor risk. Jason contrasts linear markets with cyclical ones, advocating for investing in stable, commodity-driven markets to mitigate risk. He stresses the long-term benefits of prudent investing over speculation, underscoring the reliability of linear markets. #RealEstateInvesting #CommoditiesInvesting #RiskManagement #HartmanRiskEvaluator #InflationHedge #LinearMarkets #CyclicalMarkets #HybridMarkets #InvestmentStrategy #MarketAnalysis #FinancialEducation #AssetDiversification #PropertyInvestment #FinancialLiteracy Key Takeaways: 1:24 Risk Evaluator and packaged commodities investing 5:57 Producer prices up in Feb 10:52 Baselane.com/Jason 14:03 PPI: softwood lumber and other materials 17:20 3 types of markets and LTI ratio 23:55 What Zimbabwe can teach investors about jurisdictional diversification Follow Jason on TWITTER, INSTAGRAM & LINKEDIN Twitter.com/JasonHartmanROI Instagram.com/jasonhartman1/ Linkedin.com/in/jasonhartmaninvestor/ Call our Investment Counselors at: 1-800-HARTMAN (US) or visit: https://www.jasonhartman.com/ Free Class: Easily get up to $250,000 in funding for real estate, business or anything else: http://JasonHartman.com/Fund CYA Protect Your Assets, Save Taxes & Estate Planning: http://JasonHartman.com/Protect Get wholesale real estate deals for investment or build a great business – Free Course: https://www.jasonhartman.com/deals Special Offer from Ron LeGrand: https://JasonHartman.com/Ron Free Mini-Book on Pandemic Investing: https://www.PandemicInvesting.com
Whether they war, disease or natural disasters, banks need to prepare for, and cope with, unexpected events. The third LTI report is published on 18 March by CEPR. Steven Ongena and Anna Pestova explain to Tim Phillips what the report reveals about how banks respond to these three types of disasters – and what that means for their customers.

I'm Stacey Simms and these are the top diabetes stories and headlines happening now XX In the news is brought to you by Edgepark simplify your diabetes journey with Edgepark XX Amazon's online pharmacy will automatically apply manufacturer-sponsored coupons to more than 15 insulin and diabetes medicines to help patients access discounts pledged by the drug industry. With the new program, patients using Amazon Pharmacy will no longer have to search for and manually enter coupons from the three largest insulin makers, Novo Nordisk (NOVOb.CO), Eli Lilly (LLY.N), and Sanofi (SASY.PA), to lower the cost of their insulin to as little as $35 for a month's supply, the company said. Novo, Lilly and Sanofi announced in March that they would slash their insulin prices by at least 70% by or in 2024, but many reports some patients were finding it difficult to get already discounted generic insulin from pharmacies at the promised lower price. Amazon Pharmacy will also automatically apply available discounts to diabetes-related medical devices from manufacturers Dexcom and Insulet, including continuous glucose monitors and pumps, as well as to other cardiometabolic medicines such as Novo's powerful weight-loss drug Wegovy. https://www.reuters.com/business/retail-consumer/amazon-pharmacy-automates-discounts-help-insulin-patients-get-pledged-prices-2023-08-15/ XX New study will look at Liver Targeted Insulin (LTI) in Type 1 diabetes.. Directing insulin action to the liver may help restore normal liver physiology for people with Type 1 diabetes, leading to better glucose control and overall health outcomes. Jeremy Pettus and a team of researchers are working to determine the mechanism of action and evaluate the safety profile of the Liver Targeted Insulin Pettus lives with type 1 and is an endocrinologist who is also the xx at TCOYD. “Living with Type 1 diabetes is extremely tough,” said Pettus. “One of the major barriers to helping patients with Type 1 diabetes achieve normal glucose levels is that injected insulin simply does not get to the ‘right' places. Normal insulin has its main effects in the liver, but patients with Type 1 diabetes must inject insulin into the fat tissue. Doing so makes the insulin act very slowly, can lead to weight gain and can cause deadly low blood sugars. This project seeks to attach a molecule to insulin that can help direct it to the liver. In doing so, much of the normal physiology may be restored and patients may get better results.” Pettus is working with the company Diasome to conduct a single center clinical study with 14 patients with Type 1 diabetes to test the safety, tolerability and effectiveness of the novel LTI. If this study finds that the LTI is active and preferentially targeting the liver, the findings could spur research and development efforts in the LTI space, leading to additional clinical trials and eventually a novel insulin available that could help improve clinical outcomes. https://today.ucsd.edu/story/2m-grant-drives-research-on-novel-insulin-in-type-1-diabetes XX Good news about A1c reduction in people with type 1.. but it's limited for those with access to technology. The new findings from a study involving patients at the Barbara Davis Center for Diabetes Adult Clinic between January 1, 2014, and December 31, 2021. They show that as technology use has increased, A1c levels have dropped in parallel. Moreover, progression from use of stand-alone continuous glucose monitors (CGMs) to automated insulin delivery systems (AIDs), which comprise insulin pumps and connected CGMs, furthered that progress. On the flip side, A1c levels rose significantly over the study period among nonusers of technology. "We cannot rule out provider bias for not prescribing diabetes technology among those with higher A1c or from disadvantaged socioeconomic backgrounds," Karakus and colleagues write. Also of note, even with use of the most advanced AID systems available during the study period, just under half of patients were still not achieving A1c levels below 7%. "The technology helps, but it's not perfect," Shah observed. This study is the first to examine the relationship of A1c with technology use over time, in contrast to prior cross-sectional studies. "The intention here was to look at the landscape over a decade," Shah said. https://www.medscape.com/viewarticle/995738 XX Can a parasite help with type 2 diabetes? This is kind of gross but very true.. In the first clinical trial of its kind, a team led by scientists from James Cook University in Australia inoculated volunteers with human hookworm larvae (Necator americanus) to see if these parasites can improve their metabolic health. The two-year study included 24 participants, each of whom showed heightened insulin resistance at the start of the trial. By the end of the investigation, researchers found those who were infected with hookworms showed a significant reduction in their insulin resistance scores compared to those who were given a placebo. In recent decades, scientists have noticed that in places where parasitic worms are endemic, people report fewer metabolic and inflammatory diseases. I'm sure I don't have to say this – but more study is needed. No one is recommending you try to get a parasitic infection https://www.sciencealert.com/radical-trial-shows-hookworms-may-protect-people-from-type-2-diabetes XX https://www.medicalnewstoday.com/articles/simple-blood-test-may-predict-future-heart-kidney-risk-for-people-with-type-2-diabetes XX Exposure to air pollution early in pregnancy—and even shortly before conception—increases a woman's risk of developing gestational diabetes, according to a new USC study out in The Lancet Regional Health—Americas. "Interestingly, we found gestational diabetes risk wasn't associated with long-term air pollution exposure but was associated with air pollution in a relatively short but critical periconceptional window, from five weeks before to five weeks after conception," said first author Zhongzheng "Jason" Niu, a postdoctoral fellow in population and public health science at the Keck School of Medicine of USC. The researchers also found the association between air pollution and gestational diabetes was more pronounced among study participants experiencing prenatal depression. The mechanism connecting ambient air pollution and gestational diabetes remains unclear, researchers say, but an interplay among impaired glucose metabolism, inflammation and hormonal changes could be to blame. Prenatal depression, with disrupted immune and hormonal functions, could make the case worse. https://news.usc.edu/209509/exposure-to-air-pollution-early-in-pregnancy-increases-risk-of-gestational-diabetes-study-finds/ XX Commercial – Edgepark XX A look at Tandem's bolus by phone feature shows it seems to be helping people with “low bolus frequency” give insulin more. Last year, the t:connect app was updated to allow people with the tslim x2 pump to initiate bolusing from a smart phone or the pump itself. This study looked at those who gave less than three boluses per day prior to the smartphone bolus update – the media number was 2.2. After the smartphone option, that number rose to 2.7. https://journals.sagepub.com/eprint/QYVHSJUZKND8JJAKRUTG/full XX Great story from Diabetes Daily about two brothers with type 1 who are creating a low or almost no sugar beer. This is in Ireland and I don't know exactly how to explain it quickly.. “Normally, the reason that the beers have sugar in them – which is what will mess with your blood sugar levels – is that there are unfermentable sugars that remain in the beer, sugars that the yeast isn't able to convert into alcohol. It's just a byproduct of how you make it. But this enzyme glucoamylase actually breaks down these unfermentable sugars and makes them into fermentable sugars, so the yeast can convert all of the sugar into alcohol, and there will be no sugar left in the beer at all. Brut beers are usually done in a clean, bitter, highly fizzy IPA style, almost like a beery champagne, but Seán has tried the glucoamylase in other recipes as well. “Normally it's only a pale ale or IPA that people put this enzyme into. But I really like German wheat beers. So I decided I'd try and make a wheat beer with this enzyme as well.” “It did exactly what it was supposed to do. You end up with no sugar at the end, and a really tasty beer. So I've been doing it with a few others – a rye, and a Kolsch, and all the sugars completely ferment out.” “We've had some fun in naming them as well. The first one, the IPA style, we call it Insulin, because it keeps the levels down. The wheat that I like to make we have now called Diawheaties.” And his non-diabetic friends approve: “Everyone seems to like it. They tend to be quite nice, easy-drinking beers. We wouldn't make them just for the zero sugar if they were no good. They're as good as the normal beers.” https://www.diabetesdaily.com/blog/how-two-irish-brothers-with-type-1-diabetes-brew-their-own-zero-sugar-beer-689869/ XX MNO update On the podcast next week.. tandem diabetes celebrity panel from friends for life – Hollywood, the NFL and NASCAR.
