To go there, you should take the busat Grand Hotel over there.(Text2)M:Can I help you?W: I'm looking for a size twelve dress.M:Oh, let me see. An eight, a ten. Ah, you're lucky. I have the prettiest dress here in a twelve. Why don't you try it on?(Text3)W: Do you think you can take care of everything in the office today?M: No problem. Just go home and take a rest. If there is anything I feel I cannot handle, I'll call you.(Text4)W: We have a half-day tour, a full-day tour and an evening tour. Which one would you like?M: What is the schedule of the half-day tour?W: It sets out at 8:30 a.m. and returns at 2:00 p.m.(Text5)M: Now,what seems to be the trouble, Mrs. Stevens?W: I've been very dizzy lately.

How about a game on Tuesday afternoon?M:Sure.(Text7)M: Mrs.White, I'm afraid we have to put you on a strict diet. From now on, you're going to have to stay away from salty food.W:Does that mean I can't have any more fast food?M:Right. You can't have any fried food or steaks.W:What about breakfast food like eggs and sausages?M:Those are all bad for you.

What's wrong?W:Well Daniel, have you ever felt nervous on stage?M:Sure. Do you remember that play I was in a few years ago?

As soon as I saw the crowd of people down there, my heart beat so fast that I was unable to say a single word.W: That's how I feel just thinking about the spelling competition next week.M: I didn't know you made it to the finals.W: I'm worried I'll get nervous and freeze on stage.

Thanks, Daniel.(Text9)W:Hello, ladies and gentlemen! Today, we have invited Prof. Stone to talk about the role of elderly people in our society. Welcome to our show, Prof. Stone.M: To begin with, I'd like to tell a story from my own life. Several years ago, when my grandparents were well into their 80s, they were no longer able to care for themselves very well. My grandfather was afraid of leaving the only home they had known for the past 60 years. The idea of having to sell their home and move into a retirement home was an extremely painful experience for them. Indeed, old age for them, and many old Americans can mean not only the possible failure of one's health, but the loss of identity and self-worth.W:Yes, it's true. What do you have to say about the problem of old age?M:Many experts have given talks here that have focused on the medical care, and the development of public services for senior citizens. Today, I'd like to focus my comments on the meaningful roles that elderly can play and should play in our society. (Text10)Talking about personal relationships, well, I'd naturally think of my relationship with my mother. Whenever I need help, my mother is always there for me. She often tells me that I can be anyone I want, as long as I'm confident of myself. She sees my talent and pushes me to do the best I possibly can. As I was growing up, we were often on the move. I had to admit that moving so often made me feel lonely. But my mother did everything she could to help me feel happy. In fact, so much traveling was really a good thing because it made us close. I respect my mother so much as she never treats me as a child, but as an equal. She gives me the freedom to make mistakes and to learn from them all.Unlike friendships that can fade or break, I know I'll always be connected to my mother no matter what I face. She is not just a role model, but someone I love.

Kabina, identična tisti v pravem letalu. Množica gumbkov, celo na stropu, nekaj monitorjev, nekaj ročic, velika ročica za pogon motorja in upravljalna palica, ki bo naše »letalo« odpeljala na katero koli letališče na svetu. Tako je bilo prizorišče, ki je pred dnevi gostilo štiri radovedne fante iz programa Botrstvo, ki jih je že dolgo zanimalo, kako je videti navidezen polet s simulatorjem letenja. Izpolnila se jim je želja in na simulatorju, ki je v samem središču Ljubljane, smo skupaj vzletali in pristajali na letališčih v New Yorku, Atenah, Gatwicku in na enem najzahtevnejših letališč za pilote velikih letal na Madeiri. Privežite se, poleteli bomo!

But they've already left for their Grandma's. You know, Suzy lives close by.(Text4)M: Hurry up with your food,Sally. They say there's a big storm coming. We'd better get home before that.W: Okay, I'm done. Let's get back to the car. Could you carry these shopping bags?M: Oh, sure.(Text5)M: We deep-fried fish three days ago in the kitchen, but the unpleasant smell stays.W: There is a method you can try.Every time you make coffee, dry the leftover coffee grounds and keep them in small bowls, then place the bowls in the kitchen.(Text6)W: Are you a football fan, Gomez?M: Yes, I go to the stadium whenever there is a good game. And if I can't get a ticket, I watch the game on TV.That way, they're less exciting though.W: Is the ticket expensive?M: It depends. It usually costs about 20 to 50 dollars. Last time I paid 25.W: That's not very expensive.Maybe we can go together some time.M: Great. It'll be more fun to watch the game with a friend.(Text7)W: You were out the whole afternoon, Alex.

Thank you, Michael.M: That's okay. See you tomorrow.(Text10)W: Hello, everyone. Today I'll talk about how to improve your pronunciation. Language researchers say pronunciation and fluency are the biggest barriers, followed by grammar, ineffective spoken English. However, most people don't regard pronunciation as a very important part of communication skills. They're more focused on vocabulary. One reason is that most people are not even aware of their mispronunciations. So it's important to first find out the words you mispronounce. You should listen to experts, by experts, I mean those who are less likely to make pronunciation mistakes. When listening to them, pay attention to words that sound strange,strange because you pronounce the same words differently. When you come across such words, check a dictionary to confirm their exact pronunciations. You can also search for difficult-to-pronounce words and names, and make a list of them. The last suggestion is to read aloud. Now you've got the correct pronunciations of the words, it's time to practice reading them every day.

Natočit podcast ve sklepě z 14. století, pod michelinskou restaurací přímo naproti orloji, kde si denně dělají vlastní uzeniny a pečou chleba je buď geniální nápad, nebo jen další důkaz, že nám je fuk, kde sedíme (omluvte kvalitu zvuku, závada není na vašem přijímači). Tentokrát tedy ne z Břevnova, ale gotického sklepa restaurace 420 od Radka Kašpárka.Začali jsme tam, kde každý správný středověkář začít musí, zbavováním se věcí a životem nalehko. Pak přišel na paškál Disclosure Day od Stevena Spielberga, kde to scénárista taky pojal nalehko. Jako fakt nalehko. A od Spielberga je to ke Kanyemu, Jacksonovi nebo nadcházejícímu filmu o Muskovi jen kousek.Divný, zase jsme narazili na AI. Tentokrát s evropským přesahem, Mythos a to, jak se k němu staví Evropa versus americká garnitura, víte, jak to myslíme. Spoiler alert! V případě Evropy opatrně, pomalu a s hodně dokumenty. V případě Ameriky rychle, hlasitě a s někým, kdo to celé radši zařízne a omylem oznámí na Signalu.Nechyběl ani Petrův výlet do New Yorku a klasické čtecí okénko Martina, který teď frčí na The Black Book of Power od Stana Taylora. Chytlo ho to tak, že se najednou marně snaží přeprogramovat vlastní návyky. Mno a jde to hůř, než jakýkoli projekt, který si navibecodujete za víkend v Cursoru. Za nás taková letní, středověká paráda.

Máme tu záhadu! Astronomové zaznamenali krátké zjasnění hvězdy ve Velkém Magellanově oblaku, které může ukrývat mimořádně zajímavý objekt. Podle analýzy šlo o gravitační mikročočkování – jev, kdy nějaké hmotné těleso na okamžik zesílí světlo vzdálenější hvězdy... jako čočka, proto ten název. Čočkují všechny objekty, ale ty hmotnější víc – velmi efektivní čočky jsou proto černé díry. Mno a dle kalklací odhadovaná hmotnost tohoto objektu, pojmenovaného Phoebe, přitom odpovídá zhruba třem Měsícům...Právě to činí objev tak zajímavým. Mohlo by jít o osamělou „potulnou“ planetu bez mateřské hvězdy... Existuje ale i mnohem exotičtější možnost: primordiální černá díra vzniklá krátce po Velkém třesku. Takové objekty jsou jedním z kandidátů na vysvětlení části temné hmoty a dosud nebyly spolehlivě potvrzeny.Zatím nelze rozhodnout, o který scénář jde. K odlišení planety od černé díry budou potřeba další pozorování a statistická analýza podobných událostí – je přitom nepravděpodobné, Phoebe bude pozorována opakovaně, ale můžeme doufat, že najdeme jiné podobné objekty. Pokud by se ale skutečně jednalo o primordiální černou díru, šlo by o jeden z nejvýznamnějších kosmologických objevů posledních let – přímou stopu procesů, které probíhaly v prvních okamžicích existence vesmíru...Vědátor vznikl jako spinoff olomouckého spolku studentů a popularizátorů vědy UP Crowd.

Okay?W: I will.Text 7W:Hi, Mark. I've decided to leave the company. I had an amazing time here. But it is time for me to move on.M:May I ask why, Cathy? I do hope that you stay with us here. W:Well, you know, I've got a new job in a big engineering firm. It's a management position.M: In that case, I think that I understand your decision and you have my support.W:Thanks for understanding. But I can work here two more weeks. M:That's great. Will you be able to finish your present project?W:Sure. And if you hire someone within ten days, I'd be happy to provide training in my areas.Text 8W:Well done! Congratulations! How are you feeling?M:Tired. I'mjust tired. W:But you did so well to get second place in today's car race.M:Well, I came out here aiming for the gold. I got third place last time and it was not the result I had hoped for.W:What happened today? You were looking extremely good at the start.M: I blew it. The car was a bit out of control.W:Some people might have given up at that point.M: I was determined to do it to finish the round.W: So what now?M:Tomorrow is going to be tough, much tougher than today.W:Well, I think you showed great determination today. Good luck for tomorrow and thanks for speaking to us.Text 9W: So what is your new apartment like, Terry?M:Oh, it's great. There are two bedrooms, a nice kitchen and a living room.W:Sounds nice.M:Yeah. And there is a grocery store next to the apartment building. And there is a laundry and a fast food restaurant across the street, so it is a quick way to get a meal.W:That's good. How much do you pay in rent?M:Well, I have a roommate, so I pay half the rent. That is $275 a month, with gas, water and electricity included. And the Internet and satellite TV are separate.W:That's a really wonderful price. How on earth did you find a place like that?M: I just found it online. W:Great.Text 10M:Hello, I'm Jeff Anderson from Coventry, England. And in today's program, I'd like to share with you a special kind of English culture — the football. A lot of people in England are crazy about football. During the football season, whenever there is a big match, all the flags for local football teams, such as Liverpool and Newcastle are hung outside every window or even spread proudly on T-shirts or scarves. There is an atmosphere of excitement in the air. Groups of young men crowd into dark packed pubs, staring at television screens. Of course, they are covered head to toe in the colors of their team. They shout and scream in sadness when their team loses a goal or with joy when there is a moment of success. You do not have to be a fan of football to get caught up in the excitement, as far as victories are concerned.England had its big moment in 1966 in Wimbledon Stadium. The World Cup victory is in the hearts and minds of all football fans. Now, whenever England is playing a big match, red and white covers every inch of every pub, a symbol of hope — the English flag. While football has never been something I'm particularly interested in. For years, I've had to pretend excitement and pick a team to support. You cannot say you don't like or do not follow football in England, as often this will lead to a long dialogue in which someone will begin telling you why you should support their team.

I also invited Mary, but she is out of town.M:What a pity! I was hoping she would come.(Text 2)M: If I were you, I'd just walk to work. It would take you about 20 minutes. Riding a bike is a good choice, too.W: I agree. But this week my husband is away on business, so I have to drive my kids to school before I go to work. I'm pressed for time, you know.(Text 3)W:It's 8:30, Dave, and you're going to be late for the meeting.M:Oh, my! I just have half an hour left. I can't believe I slept for 10 hours.(Text 4)M:Hi, Helen. Where are you off to?W: To the library. I've got a history paper due next week, and need to do some reading.(Text 5)W:Thank goodness! You're still here.M:What's up?W: I need your signature for this document. It's urgent.(Text 6)W:Are you all alone, Tom? Why not ask Mike to help you collect money for the Children's Centre?M:Well, he's working on his lab report. Could you come?W:I'd love to, but I won't be available until next week. I think Cathy will have some free time this week. Do you want me to pass on a message?M:That'd be nice. Thanks, Jane.(Text 7)W:Are you leaving for the railway station now, Jack? It's so early.M:Just avoiding the rush hour traffic. I don't want to be late.W: So you have to wait for about two hours? I don't think there's scenery to look at.M:Don't worry! I'll take a book with me.W:It's too noisy to read in the railway station. I would usually look around the shops while waiting for the train.M:But I've already got all the gifts for my parents and sisters. I don't need to buy anything. If I really can't focus on the book, I may phone up some friends I haven't talked to in a while.W:That's a nice idea. Betty told me last time that she often spent the waiting time writing a to-do list so that she'd not miss anything in the days to come.M:That's an awesome idea. I'll surely do that. Thank you, Judy. See you next year.W:Bye!(Text 8)W:Hi, Bill. You look troubled. What's the matter?M:Hi, Grace. I have a big decision to make. My uncle offered me a job as the lead engineer at his service station, and with good pay.W:That's wonderful, but are you going to quit college?M:That's exactly the problem. One side of me says, “Oh, go ahead! You can go back to collegeanytime. What job could you get after college that would pay you $15 an hour?That's $30,000 a year!”W:And then?M:And then, the other side says, “Hold it, not so fast! For all those years you were in the army, you planned to go to college so that you would have many job possibilities to choose from. You've planned your whole life around going to college. And now…”W: I can see it. It's true that with your experience in the army, you could do excellent work repairing cars if you accept the job. But you are doing very well now. Just think of the future. You will get better jobs.(Text 9)W:Hey, John. Can I talk to you for a minute?M:Sure, what's up?W: I wanted to let you know about a book club I joined a few months ago. I know you do a lot of reading, so I thought you might want to come with me next month.M:Oh, that sounds like fun. When does the group meet?W:Usually the last Saturday of the month at 7:30 in the evening. Is that too late for you?M:No, I think that's okay. What do you talk about in the group?W:Well, every month we choose a new book. And then during the next meeting, we discuss it.M:What books have you read?W:Quite a lot. Recently we have read The Beautiful Mind and The Great Gatsby. Now we are reading The Kite Runner.M:The Kite Runner ? I've heard that's a good book. What's it about?W:It's about a boy who grows up in Afghanistan during the 1980s.M:That sounds interesting. I'd love to come.W:Great! The next meeting will be held in two weeks, so you still have time to read the book.(Text 10)W:Today, let's begin with note-taking techniques. Note-taking is an important skill not only for taking classes, but also for doing your job in the future.I'd like to draw your attention to certain points about taking notes. First,remember that note-taking should be 75% listening and only 25% writing, so don't try to write down every single word the teacher says. Ignore what is unimportant and write in phrases, not complete sentences. Second, leave spaces and lines between main ideas. You may want to add some information later. I find that some of you are very good at making use of color, mapping web, and symbols such as arrows, circles and boxes. I highly recommend these tools to all of you, because the use of them makes the outline more easily readable and interesting than the blocks of text. It also makes sure that important words stand out. Here are some examples.

A coach will pick us up in the school car park. We'll leave at 8 o'clock, so plan to be there at least fifteen minutes before that, 7:45 at the latest. You'd better set your alarms for 6:30, okay? If you've visited The Science Museum before, you'll know that it's enormous, and we can't possibly see everything in one day. The Welcome Wing has three galleries which deal only with contemporary science. We're going to have a guided tour of one of them. We've ordered lunch at the café, so we'll all meet up there at 12:30. And don't be late. We have to go to the cinema at 1:15. I think that's all for now. Oh, one last thing. Check out The Science Museum website before we go. The more you read about it, the more interesting the visit will be.

Preteklo soboto zvečer smo se s pietetno slovesnostjo spomnili vseh žrtev komunističnega nasilja. Množica ljudi se je zbrala v Ljubljani, na Trgu republike, ter se tudi s prižganimi svečkami poklonila vsem umorjenim. Toda, če so bile svečke za prisotne znamenje upanja, da bodo mrtvi končno našli zadnji počitek v posvečeni zemlji in da jim bo vrnjeno dobro ime, pa so prav te iste svečke nekoga tako zelo razdražile, da se je v naslednjih dneh znašel nad njimi ter jih razmetal po trgu. Kakšna zmeda in stiska mora biti v človeku, da je sposoben takega dejanja …Komentar je pripravila doktorica zgodovine Helena Jaklitsch.

Množství elektřiny vyrobené z obnovitelných zdrojů na celém světě roste exponenciálně. Každé tři roky se zdvojnásobí množství elektřiny vyrobené ze slunce a každých sedm let z větru. Podobné trendy vidíme i na straně spotřeby, např. v podobě výroby a prodeje elektromobilů. Co tento megatrend elektrifikace znamená pro budoucí podobu světa? Přeskupí se světové velmoci? Vyměníme závislost na dovozu fosilních paliv (Rusko, Perský záliv, USA) za závislost na elektrotechnologiích z Číny?O geopolitice energetiky si povídáme s Martinem Jiruškem z Fakulty sociálních studií MUNI a Ondrášem Přibylou z Fakt o klimatu. O tom, jak se na základě proměny energetiky mění celý svět.

Just came here for a change today.M: The environment here is good,clean and relatively quiet.W: Yeah, and I heard the food is tasty. By the way, are you going to the concert tomorrow evening?M: Yes. Are you?W: Yeah. Catherine was supposed to go with me but she may have to work extra hours tomorrow. Do you know anyone who might like to go?M: No... But if you like, I can ask around... Er... Joan might want to go.W: Oh, yes, she's a great fan of classical music. I'll give her a ring after lunch.(Text9)W: Hi, I've only just arrived!M: Oh, good. Now, here are the keys. Let's go in. There are two apartments. The one for rent is on the right.Do come in.W: Thank you. I like the carpet.The color is nice, isn't it?M: Yes, and this apartment is in good condition. Here is your lounge.W: Where would we eat?M: There is this corner here or you can use your kitchen. Come and see.W: The kitchen is quite small.M: Yes, but it has everything,cooker, fridge, even a dishwasher.W: And there are lots of cupboards.M: Let me show you the bedrooms.This is the smaller one.W: It's a good size though.M: Now come into the other bedroom. You can see the bathroom, too.W: Yes. It's very nice but I will have to ask my friend first and we will come together. I understand it is eight hundred dollars a month.M: Yes. But a few blocks downtown would be much more expensive.W: Well, thank you. I will be in touch.(Text10)M: Thank you very much. Thank you, Dr. Johnson. Well, it is really great to be back at university again. The thing that I wanted to tell you today is this: Education is important. When I came to the U.S., I was only thinking about being a carpenter. But I could not read the newspaper, and I could not understand the news on television or movies or anything like this. So I entered the City College to take English classes for foreign students. I was very proud that I was going to a college, because no one in my family ever went to any college or to any university. You know, when you're 15 years old in my country,you finish school and then learn a trade, and that's exactly what I did. When I was 15 years old, I learned how to be a carpenter. A year later I came to America. Luckily, I met a very good teacher who encouraged me to take some math classes, business classes, and history classes, and I became a full-time college student. And today, when I look back, I'm so happy because you never know where life will take you. All of a sudden I started making money because I was really good at math. You know, how to work out everything with math is so important. This is something that I learned when I started my own business, which is doing really well.

I'll be seeing you here again in fifteen minutes. Goodbye for now!

Piše Meta Kušar, bereta Eva Longyla Marušič in Jure Franko. Lirični prostor je velika knjiga o resnični liričnosti. Avtor Brane Senegačnik se je s to temo ukvarjal že v dveh knjigah: Smrt lirike? (2015) in Dežela, ki je ni na zemljevidu: lirični vidiki antropologije (2019). Vsak, ki se posveča svoji notranjosti, opazi, da nam v umetnosti zdaj velikokrat porušene duše vsiljujejo svoj revolucionarni, rušilni sistem reševanja sveta, tisti ki sledijo notranjemu glasu, krhki, a s posebno iskreno svetlobo, pa jim morajo to dovoliti. Zaradi trenda. Brane Senegačnik, pesnik in univerzitetni profesor klasične filologije, se je tokrat še bolj sistematično in megalomansko, v najboljšem pomenu besede, spet lotil vprašanj »Kakšen je lirični človek in kakšen njegov lirični prostor?« Pregledal je enormno število zahodnih literarnih znanstvenikov, filozofov in pesnikov, sedeminsedemdeset jih je. Razmislek se začne z enostavnimi ugotovitvami: »Poezija je jezik naše življenjske spontanosti, nikakor samo mišljenjske. V resnični poeziji je nekaj arhetipičnega, kar je filozof Jan Patočka poimenoval kot zajemanje sveta naivnega doživljanja, ki ga je potrebno abstraktno ohraniti.« Naivno ni mišljeno slabšalno, ampak je občečloveško s prvotnimi vzorci, arhetipi, ki niso ideje, ampak oblike, ponavljajo se od pradavnih začetkov do trenutka, ko jih posameznik zaživi v svojem življenju. Ob tem se bo kdo celo vprašal, ali se je pisanja poezije mogoče naučiti iz priročnikov in filozofskih razprav, teh, ki jih je avtor preštudiral in nam jih v svoji eruditski knjigi ponudil. Gotovo je v Senegačnikovi knjigi upoštevano prav vse, kar je bilo resnega o tej zadevi v sodobnem času natisnjenega. Dobro, da ob takem opusu ni izgorel. Vedno obstajajo razlike med akademskim in pristno človeškim konceptom liričnosti. Knjiga Lirični prostor nas s svojo razkošnostjo ugotovitev desetin in desetin raziskovalcev utrjuje v stališču, da je neizprosna iskrenost poezije ena tistih veščin, ki je človek ne more pretentati. Seveda je tu duhovita trditev Wolfganga Iserja, ki je sodobno raziskovanje umetnosti oziroma literature posrečeno označil kot proizvodnjo teorij. »Množica vseh teorij kaže, da je umetniško delo mnogoplastno, da pomeni zelo veliko različnih stvari, vendar iz tega ne sledi, da ga ni mogoče ontološko razložiti.« Velik del problema je v tem, da bistvo poezije ni dosegljivo prek natančnega vedenja, do njega se ne dokopljemo z informacijami, ampak s pomeni. Pamet ne more dobro skozi življenje, čeravno so od vseh štirih funkcij zaznavanja misli najbližje realnosti sveta; ne pa tudi najbližje smislu življenja. Bistvo je dosegljivo intuiciji, ki jo človek pri sebi zazna ali pa je ostala v nezavednem. Nedosegljiva. Poezija je zvrst človeškega ustvarjanja, ki zadeva svobodo. Danes že zelo zoženo antropološko obzorje, posthumanizem, cunamiji informacij, orientiranost k objektom, introvertiranost, ožigosana z avtizmom, muza, zasmehovana kot romantična izmišljotina – vse to množi viruse mnogih literarnoteoretskih in šolskih razlag, tistih, ki se ukvarjajo s poezijo bolj zaradi službenega imperativa, manj pa zaradi notranje nuje. Brane Senegačnik, pesnik in senzibilen bralec poezije, s široko paleto znanja, kulturne osveščenosti in zgodovinskega čuta, še posebej za muze, saj antična pota poezije izvrstno pozna, kot pesnik pa praktikant notranjega samoizpraševanja, se že dolgo spopada z dejstvom, ki ga v sodobni poeziji lahko vsak zazna: sodobni zahodni človek je izšolan in streniran za obvladovanje vsega, kar obstaja, manj vešč je za dojemanje svojega bistva. Prav to pa nam z empatijo omogoči zaznati skupno bistvo vsega, kar je. Kar je pesnik Dylan Thomas imenoval Ta moč: In naprej: »Ta moč, ki skozi zeleno bilko žene cvet / žene moj zeleni čas; in ta, ki uničuje žile korenin, / pustoši tudi mene.« Po branju dragocene Senegačnikove knjige Lirični prostor mi je žal, da ob vseh teh eruditih ni nihče omenil muze, brez katere že v antiki ni šlo. Priznam, da me muza pokliče k zapisu in brez nje ne začnem. Muza je garancija za tisto nujo, da pesmi pišemo samo zato, ker bi umrli, če jih ne bi pisali. Muza je resnica poezije in ona je tista, ki varuje poezijo, da je ni mogoče našminkati. Prav zaradi te resnice naroda brez poezije ni. Prav zaradi te resnice pri poeziji ni emeritusa. Knjiga Lirični prostor razkriva, da so naše kariere različne; nekatere zahtevajo bibliografske enote, druge pa izkušnjo maksimalne iskrenosti duha. Senegačnikova zahteva oboje. So celo znanstveniki, ki čutijo krvavo nujo po celovitosti, ki je objektiven dejavnik in se s subjektom sooča neodvisno od njega. Zapišejo sebstvo. Redki ga definirajo. Če verjamemo Carlu Gustavu Jungu je sebstvo entiteta, ki ni psihična. Obstaja tudi akademsko brez pristno človeškega koncepta. Kakorkoli že, znanstveniki iščejo in definirajo lirični prostor, poezija pa skrbi sama zase in je ne briga usoda pesnika – človeka. Kadar so filozofi bratje lirikov, razumejo tudi to. Senegačnik omenja Franca Vebra, »ki je vedel, da nas lirika postavlja pred vsebinsko načelno uganko sveta in življenja: v njiju odkriva usodno sporočilo, zapisano v neznanem jeziku. To sporočilo pa je naslovljeno na vsakega človeka, je sporočilo o njegovi nenadomestljivosti.«

In America, May and June are the traditional months for graduations. A listener in China, Wang Ming, who is about to get an engineering degree, wants to know how American college graduates find jobs. Right now, the answer is: not very easily. A latest study on the college job market showed that employers wanted to hire 22% fewer graduates this year than last. The study also showed that just 20% of those who looked for jobs before graduation have found one by now. This is compared to half of students who had looked for a job by this time two years ago. But one difference: fewer of this year's graduates have started to search for jobs. Engineering graduates were more likely to have started their job search already, and to have accepted a job. This is among the best-paid professions for people with just a college degree. On average, engineering majors expect to start at about $62,000 a year.

Množični pogin školjk klapavic ogroža gojenje školjk po Sredozemlju in tudi v Jadranskem morju. Ponekod je proizvodnja v zadnjih letih popolnoma izpadla, tudi v italijanskem Varanu, kjer so največja školjčišča v Evropi. Z mednarodnim projektom Teamforadris skušajo raziskati vzroke poginov in hkrati poiskati rešitve, ki bi izboljšale odpornost gojenja ter pomagale razumeti vpliv okoljskih sprememb na njihovo preživetje. V projektu sodelujejo tudi slovenske ustanove: Veterinarska fakulteta v Ljubljani, Morska biološka postaja Piran in Zavod YouSea. Z direktorico zavoda Ireno Fonda smo se pogovarjali o prvih ugotovitvah, ki jih prinašajo raziskave in o strukturi za poskus gojenja klapavic v globlji vodi.

Na veliki skakalnici v Predazzu je pod petimi krogi vse nared za žensko posamično tekmo. Po včerajšnji zlati medalji Domna Prevca si odličja obetajo tudi slovenske skakalke. Niki Prevc je večja naprava na treningih povzročala nekaj več težav kot srednja. Kot pravi, je ključen spust z rampe, kjer po njenih besedah lahko vse zamudiš ali pa narediš nekaj dobrega. Tekma se bo začela čez četrt ure. Druge teme: - Množičen obisk pustnih karnevalov po državi; na Ptuju rekorden. - Ob sklepu münchenske varnostne konference tudi o naglem vstopu Ukrajine v Unijo. - Izraelska vlada olajšala nakup zemlje na zasedenem Zahodnem bregu.

Lední medvědi se dělí s ostatními obyvateli Arktidy až o 7 tisíc tun potravy ročně. Plyne to ze studie kanadských vědců. Množství potravy, které lední medvědi v Arktidě nechávají ležet během roku, odpovídá roční spotřebě masa ve stotisícovém českém městě.

Hypotéka není dobrá ani špatná. Je to nástroj. Dobrý nápad je tehdy, když zapadá do vašeho života a cashflow. Špatný nápad je ve chvíli, kdy vás nutí žít na krev. V téhle epizodě shrnuju témata, která od klientů slyším pořád dokola a dávám k nim kontext z praxe.00:00 Hlavní témata epizody:

Skutky apoštolov 4:32 Množstvo tých, čo uverili, bolo jedno srdce a duša a nikto nepokladal za svoje nič z toho, čo mu patrilo, ale všetko mali spoločné.33 Apoštoli s veľkou mocou vydávali svedectvo o zmŕtvychvstaní Pána Ježiša a na všetkých spočívala veľká milosť.34 Nikto totiž medzi nimi netrpel biedou, pretože všetci, čo mali polia a domy, ich predávali a čo za ne utŕžili, prinášali35 a kládli k nohám apoštolov a každý dostal podľa toho, koľko potreboval.36 Aj Jozef, ktorému apoštoli dali prímenie Barnabáš, čo v preklade znamená syn útechy, levita, rodák z Cypru,37 mal roľu, predal ju, priniesol peniaze a položil ich k nohám apoštolov.Skutky apoštolov 5:1 Istý muž menom Ananiáš, spolu s manželkou Zafirou, predali majetok. 2 S manželkiným vedomím si časť peňazí odložil a zvyšok priniesol a položil apoštolom k nohám. 3 No Peter mu povedal: Ananiáš! Prečo ti satan naplnil srdce, aby si klamal Duchu Svätému a odložil si si z peňazí za predané pole? 4 Nebolo vari tvoje, kým si ho mal? A keď si ho už predal, nemohol si s peniazmi zaň voľne nakladať? Ako si sa mohol rozhodnúť pre takúto vec? Neklamal si ľuďom, ale Bohu. 5 Keď Ananiáš počul tieto slová, padol a naposledy vydýchol. A všetkých, čo to počuli, sa zmocnil veľký strach. 6 Nato mladší z nich vstali, zavinuli ho, vyniesli a pochovali. 7 Asi o tri hodiny neskôr prišla aj jeho žena, nevediac, čo sa stalo. 8 Peter sa aj jej spýtal: Povedz mi, predali ste pole len za toľko? A ona odpovedala: Áno, len za toľko. 9 Tu jej Peter povedal: Prečo ste sa dohodli pokúšať Pánovho Ducha? Počuj, nohy tých, čo pochovali tvojho muža, sú práve predo dvermi, a vynesú i teba. 10 V tej chvíli padla k jeho nohám a vydýchla. Keď mládenci vošli dnu, našli ju mŕtvu, vyniesli ju a pochovali k jej mužovi. 11 Celej cirkvi a všetkých, čo o tom počuli, zmocnil sa veľký strach.12 Medzi ľudom sa rukami apoštolov dialo veľa znamení a zázrakov. Všetci sa svorne zdržiavali v Šalamúnovom stĺporadí. 13 Nikto iný sa neodvažoval k nim pridružiť, ale ľud ich chválil 14 a ustavične pribúdalo mnoho mužov i žien, čo uverili v Pána. 15 Ešte aj chorých vynášali na ulice a kládli ich na lôžka a nosidlá, aby aspoň Petrov tieň padol na niektorého z nich, keď tadiaľ pôjde. 16 Aj z miest okolo Jeruzalema sa schádzalo množstvo ľudí, ktorí prinášali chorých a trápených nečistými duchmi, a všetci boli uzdravení.

Európska únia podpísala historickú obchodnú dohodu Mercosur s krajinami Latinskej Ameriky. Mala by vytvoriť najväčšiu zónu voľného obchodu na svete so 700 miliónmi spotrebiteľov.Ročný vývoz EÚ do krajín Mercosuru by sa mohol zvýšiť až o 39 %, čo predstavuje 49 miliárd eur. Tisíce európskych farmárov sa však búria a hovoria o likvidácii európskeho poľnohospodárstva. Boja sa následkov, keď sa podľa dohody liberalizuje 82% agroproduktov a na európsky trh sa dostane lacné mäso a cukor z Brazílie, či Argentíny. Expert na agrosektor Juraj Huba z portálu poľnoinfo.sk vysvetľuje, že žiadna záplava juhoamerických komodít nehrozí. Množstvá na liberalizáciu obsiahnuté v dohode nie sú zásadné z hľadiska európskej produkcie. Európskych farmárov skôr hnevá to, že oni musia v EÚ dodržiavať množstvo ekologických opatrení a ich juhoamerickí kolegovia nie, pričom majú byť teraz pripustení na spoločný trh. Vnímajú to ako krivdu. „Nerobme z juhoamerického dovozu drámu. Tie komodity sem prúdia už teraz a nedôjde k žiadnemu masovému navýšeniu tohto objemu. Okrem toho, vždy to bude v konečnom dôsledku na spotrebiteľovi, či uprednostní mäso domáceho pôvodu, alebo lacnejší dovoz z Brazílie,“ hovorí Huba. Pre farmárov v EÚ však bude veľmi náročné byť konkurencieschopní voči ich kolegom v Argentíne alebo Brazílii. Nie sú to len ekologické opatrenia a prísne normy, ktoré musia dodržiavať. Dôležitou súčasťou ich nákladov sú mzdy. „V Brazílii je priemerný plat v agrosektore 340 dolárov mesačne. Na Slovensku to môže byť 1100 eur. Potom sa nečudujem slovenským, či európskym farmárom, že sú nahnevaní, keď počujú o Mercosure.“ Slovenskí farmári sa však viac ako Mercosuru boja dovozu poľnohospodárskych komodít z Ukrajiny. Podľa Hubu však problém slovenského agrosektora leží úplne inde. „My sme sa dostali na úroveň Afriky, že produkujeme komoditu, ktorú len vyvážame a nevyrábame z nej konečný produkt. Úplne sa nám rozpadla výrobná vertikála, teda chýba spracovateľský priemysel.“ Štát by mal prísť s modernou koncepciou rozvoja a podpory poľnohospodárstva i spracovateľského priemyslu, aby celý výrobný reťazec dával zmysel a pridanú hodnotu. Kľúčové sú investície do moderných technológií a veľkovýroba. Bez toho bude slovenská poľnohospodárska produkcia naďalej stagnovať a celý agrosektor zostane zaseknutý v 90-tych rokoch. Príčiny vysvetľuje Juraj Huba v rozhovore, ktorý moderuje Eva Mihočková. V rozhovore sa dozviete: Prečo farmári z EÚ vnímajú Mercosur ako krivdu Objem dovážaných komodít nebude pre EÚ zásadný Prečo je pre farmárov v EÚ ťažké konkurovať juhoamerickým farmárom Ako to bude s dovozom GMO plodín Ako poklesol dovoz ukrajinskej pšenice do EÚ Čo je skutočný problém slovenského agrosektora See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

I'm your host Stacey Simms and this is an In The News episode.. where we bringing you the top diabetes stories and headlines happening now. We are less than one month from our first MNO of 2026. Please join us in Silver Spring MD Feb 20 and 21. It's going to be amazing. We're going to Nashville next March 6-7 and we're going to have a great event a Club 1921 we just added on Thursday March 5th for health care providers and patient leaders. All the info is over at diabetes-connetionss.com events/ Okay.. our top story this week: XX   All UK children could be offered screening for type 1 diabetes using a simple finger-prick blood test, say researchers who have been running a large study. This is the ELSA study - Early Surveillance for Autoimmune diabetes, a first of its kind UK study. They tested blood samples from 17,931 children aged 3-13 for autoantibodies, markers of type 1 diabetes that can appear years before symptoms. Families of children found to have early-stage type 1 diabetes received tailored education and ongoing support to prepare for the eventual onset of type 1 diabetes symptoms and to ensure insulin therapy can begin promptly when needed, reducing the chances of needing emergency treatment. Those with one autoantibody also received ongoing support and monitoring.   Some families were also offered teplizumab, the first ever immunotherapy for type 1 diabetes, which can delay the need for insulin by around three years in people with early-stage type 1 diabetes. The second phase has launched and will expand screening to all children in the UK aged 2-17 years, with a focus on younger children (2-3 years) and older teenagers (14-17 years). The research team aims to recruit 30,000 additional children across these new age groups. ELSA 2 will assess how screening can be scaled across the NHS and evaluate its cost-effectiveness. https://www.birmingham.ac.uk/news/2026/childhood-type-1-diabetes-screening-is-effective-and-could-prevent-thousands-of-emergency-diagnoses XX At the J.P. Morgan Healthcare Conference Dexcom CEO Jake Leach says they're going to launch a new product outside the US. I'll link up that interview, The full quote: "When you look at the outside the U.S., there are a lot of structures that are tiered. Patients have access to different types of products, so we've got a new one that we want to introduce that will add flexibility there. It's based on the G7 platform, just like Dexcom ONE+, but it has a unique experience that's tailored for a subset of users that, today, don't have access to Dexcom." Your guess is as good as mine, but sounds more like a pricing or ordering issue than a new bit of hardware or software. Dexcom will also bring Stelo to some international markets this year. And plans a new mobile app experience for the wearable biosensor meant for people who don't dose insulin. Leach also says G8 will be much smaller and with more capability. but is a few years away. https://www.drugdeliverybusiness.com/dexcom-ceo-jake-leach-2026-roadmap-jpm/ XX A new international consensus statement provides guidance for the use of diabetes technology during pregnancy for women with type 1 diabetes (T1D), type 2 diabetes (T2D), or gestational diabetes (GD).   Organized by the diaTribe Foundation, the document was based on evidence where available, as well as opinion from an international group of experts in endocrinology, diabetes technology, and obstetrics & gynecology, among others.   This is the first set of recommendations specifically addressing the use of diabetes technology in pregnancy – and we'll link it up. https://www.medscape.com/viewarticle/new-consensus-statement-addresses-diabetes-tech-pregnancy-2026a100020d XX Bariatric surgery beats GLP-1s for type 2 diabetes across income levels. This study was published this month, looking at nearly 300 patients are 4 medical centers. Success here is measured by lower blood glucose levels, higher weight loss (28% vs. 10%), less use of diabetes medications, remission of diabetes to the point of no longer needing to inject insulin, and reduced risk factors for cardiovascular disease.     Bariatric surgery was better than medical therapy across all social backgrounds, they found, and not just in areas of higher deprivation. The ancillary study was smaller, and some of the participants randomized in earlier stages crossed over from medical to surgical treatment, and the reverse. The authors acknowledged and accounted for these limitations, along with the rapid development of more powerful obesity drugs not fully captured in the study. This was a long term study – more than 12 years – and by the end of the study more people were choosing GLP1 medications. One dividing line: If someone hopes to lose 100 pounds, that's more likely with surgery than with medications.  "Ultimately, we need large, long-term, well-designed studies to clarify the best strategy for a given patient." https://www.statnews.com/2026/01/19/diabetes-study-bariatric-surgery-better-than-glp-1s/ XX Researchers at the University of California, Riverside have reported for the first time that a father's exposure to microplastics (MPs) can lead to metabolic problems in his children, including diabetes. This is a mouse study, but it looks at a previously unrecognized way in which environmental pollution may influence the health of future generations. MPs are extremely small plastic fragments, measuring less than 5 millimeters, that form as consumer products and industrial materials break down. Metabolic disorders describe a group of conditions that include elevated blood pressure, high blood sugar, and excess body fat, all of which raise the risk of heart disease and diabetes. The team found that female offspring of male mice exposed to MPs were far more prone to metabolic disorders than offspring of unexposed fathers, even though all offspring received the same high fat diet.     The research team hopes the findings will guide future investigation into how MPs and even smaller nanoplastics affect human development.   https://scitechdaily.com/microplastics-can-rewire-sperm-triggering-diabetes-in-the-next-generation/ XX The FDA has finalized four new recalls for certain lots of Abbott's FreeStyle Libre 3 and FreeStyle Libre 3 Plus sensors due to ongoing safety concerns. We told you about this in November when Abbott says some of its continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) sensors were providing incorrect low glucose warnings. Internal testing identified the issue—carbon building up in the sensors during the manufacturing process—and determined that approximately 3 million CGM sensors were affected. The sensors were distributed in the United States, Canada and several European countries.  When Abbott shared that announcement, the FDA was still reviewing the situation. No recalls had yet been finalized. Now, however, the agency has announced four new Class I recalls.   https://cardiovascularbusiness.com/topics/clinical/heart-health/fda-confirms-recalls-abbott-cgm-sensors-new-lawsuit-alleges-company-concealed-information XX   Insulet brings back it's U.S. Pod recycling program, now making it available to all U.S. customers. The Pod recycling program, offered at no cost to customers, enables users to request a recycling kit online. This allows them to return their used Omnipods. Insulet then decontaminates the returned Pods before transporting them to a company specializing in recycling for electronics and medical products. Insulet began recycling pilot programs in Mass and California and are rolling it out nationwide. Insulet also has "Pod takeback" programs outside the U.S. in several international markets. These programs enable customers to request a takeback kit by contacting their local customer support team.   https://www.drugdeliverybusiness.com/insulet-expands-us-pod-recycling-program/ XX Up next a new resource for a population at three times the risk for diabetes, but without a lot of access to health information. I The first diabetes information website primarily in ASL has launched. The site includes GIFs and videos on diabetes management and an ASL glossary of diabetes-related terms. This is from University of Utah Health – Called Deaf Diabetes Can Together. Deaf and hard of hearing people are at three times higher risk for diabetes, but access to health information in ASL is limited. https://healthcare.utah.edu/newsroom/news/2026/01/first-diabetes-information-website-asl-launches XX Novo Nordisk ended all work on cell therapies, including a Type 1 diabetes program, in October – and now has found a buyer. Aspect has acquired rights to the assets and giving Novo an option to reengage for later-stage development and commercialization. Novo is helping bankroll Aspect's development of the assets, investing in the company and providing research funding. The arrangement gives Novo a chance to profit from the programs down the line. Novo is eligible for royalties and milestone payments on future product sales and, having handed the reins to Aspect for now, can expand its role in later-stage development and commercialization. The integration will involve the transfer of capabilities and expertise from Novo sites in Denmark and the U.S. to Aspect's Canadian operations. https://www.fiercebiotech.com/biotech/novo-nordisk-offloads-diabetes-assets-aspect-amid-cell-therapy-retreat XX XX Lucas Escobar has carved a role by proving that healthcare marketing can be culturally resonant, commercially powerful and deeply human. As director and head of U.S. consumer marketing at Insulet, he has redefined how the Omnipod tubeless insulin pump shows up in culture, transforming a medical device into a symbol of identity, inclusion and empowerment.   Under Escobar's leadership, Insulet launched three breakthrough initiatives: Dyasonic: Sound of Strength, a Marvel comic collaboration introducing a superhero who uses Omnipod; The Pod Drop, which turned the sound of a pod change into a celebratory music track; and Omnipod Mango x Pantone, medtech's first color partnership, honoring the vibrancy of the diabetes community. Each blended creativity with purpose while driving results, helping fuel Omnipod's consistent double-digit growth and its position as the most prescribed insulin pump in the U.S.   Living with type 1 diabetes himself, Escobar brings lived experience to his work, using storytelling not just to sell, but to make people feel seen.   Click here to return to the 2026 MM+M 40 Under 40 homepage.   From the January 01, 2026 Issue of MM+M - Medical Marketing and Media https://www.mmm-online.com/40-under-40/40-under-40-lucas-escobar-insulet/ -- FDA approves an update to the prescribing info for Afrezza inhaled insulin. This is a revision to the recommendations for the starting mealtime dosage when patients switch from shots or insulin pumps. This is aimed at healthcare providers - the updated labeling was supported by results from the INHALE-3 trial. The FDA is still considering approval of Afrezza for kids – a decision there expect by summer. https://www.globenewswire.com/news-release/2026/01/26/3225442/29517/en/MannKind-Announces-FDA-Approval-of-Updated-Afrezza-Label-Providing-Starting-Dose-Guidance-when-Switching-from-Multiple-Daily-Injections-MDI-or-Insulin-Pump-Mealtime-Therapy.html   -- UK researchers have developed a calculator to predict whether someone is at risk for type 1 diabetes. They're hoping this helps in screening and in preventing DKA at diagnosis. They used the TEDDY study to create this calculator, which right now is in beta form and only for kids and teens ages 8-18. The current beta form of the calculator asks users to answer questions about four factors necessary to estimate a child's risk of developing type 1 diabetes: age, family history, number of confirmed autoantibodies, and genetic risk score. The calculator has been given regulatory approval as a diagnostic in the U.K., and he's working with a company that's hoping to bring it to the U.S. in the next few months in the form of a home genetic test kit. https://www.healthcentral.com/news/type-1-diabetes/new-calculator-might-help-predict-type-1-diabetes-before-symptoms-appear

Večina kristjanov po svetu danes praznuje božič - praznik rojstva Jezusa Kristusa. Pričakali so ga s polnočnimi svetimi mašami. Slovenski katoliški škofje so v poslanici zapisali, da naj božič srca napolni z močjo, tolažbo in mirom. Da se v negotovem svetu ravno božič vrača k bistvu, da bog prihaja k šibkim in ranljivim, pa je spomnil evangeličanski škof Aleksander Erniša. Drugi poudarki oddaje: Množičen obisk polnočnice v Betlehemu, prve po uveljavitvi premirja med Izraelom in Hamasom. Kako zasedena so v prazničnih dneh gorenjska turistična središča?

Většina českých médií jásá a posunuje budoucího českého premiéra někam nad oblaka. Andrej Babiš slibuje, že se vzdá Agrofertu a vloží ho do blíže neupřesněného trustu, takže předřazuje zájem státu před svým osobním, tvrdí řada médií. Ve skutečnosti je to hodně jinak.Smyslem každého trustu je tak či onak zamaskovat vlastnickou strukturu. Tak tomu zřejmě bude i v tomto případě. Definitivní soud si necháme na chvíli, kdy se dozvíme zakladatelskou listinu tohoto (slepého?) svěřenského fondu, popřípadě její dodatky. Také bude důležité sledovat, kdo bude správcem a kdo ho naopak bude kontrolovat. A kdo zjistí, jestli není zneužívána politická moc?Samostatným otazníkem je, proč Andrej Babiš mluví jen o Agrofertu a nikoli o společnostech, které vlastní, jako Synbiol, Hartenberg nebo FutureLife. Právě do řady z nich tečou peníze z veřejného zdravotního pojištění. Na ně se střet zájmů nevztahuje? Vždyť ministr zdravotnictví je z hnutí ANO, které určuje úhradovou vyhlášku, a tedy to, jaké částky poputují do zdravotních firem, které Babiš vlastní.Množství veřejných peněz do těchto podniků je přitom neporovnatelně vyšší než do zemědělských firem holdingu Agrofert. Čekají nás další zbytečné roky soudních sporů.

Prvega novembra mineva leto od zrušitve nadstreška na železniški postaji v Novem Sadu. Smrt 16ih ljudi je bila le eden od krvavih dogodkov, ki so v zadnjih letih pretresli Srbijo, in ljudje so pokazali, da jim je tokrat dovolj. Množice mladih protestnikov so zasedle trge, prometna vozlišča, pripravili so številne pohode, tudi v tujino, in številni so pričakovali padec oblasti Aleksandra Vučića. A zdi se, da bo ostal predsednik vsaj še dobro leto. Potem pa se bo Srbija morala odločiti, ali se bo usmerila v Evropsko unijo ali pa bo ostala izoliran člen na jugovzhodu Evrope. Gostje: dr.

Balík zmien, ktoré aktuálne v parlamente presadil minister školstva, nemajú reálnu šancu zlepšiť vzdelávanie našich detí. Ambicióznym plánom ministra Druckera vôbec nezodpovedá rozpočet jeho rezortu, no a bez toho nemožno hovoriť o vzdelávaní ako jednej z našich priorít. Tvrdí to vo veľkej analýze školskej reformy analytik Centra vzdelávacích analýz Michal Rehúš.Spočiatku to mal byt Veľký skok, potom zasa Nežná revolúcia. Napokon sa z toho stala taká tá typicky slovensky nedotiahnutá snaha o akési „zglajchšaltovanie“ slovenského školstva.Parlament schválil veľký balík siedmych zákonov z dielne ministra školstva. Množstvo nedotiahnutých i silne kontroverzných zmien. Veľa nášľapných mín i riešení prijímaných bez potrebných analýz či celospoločenskej diskusie, zásadné zlepšenie vzdelávania našich detí od toho nečakajme, hodnotí Druckerov balíček Michal Rehúš z Centra vzdelávacích analýz.„Staviame veci z nôh na hlavu, začať to malo od toho, aby sme si spočítali, koľko stojí tento štát kvalitné vzdelávanie pre všetky naše deti. Diskusia musí začať od výšky príspevku, ktorý štát dáva na zabezpečenie kvalitného vzdelania pre všetky naše deti,“ hovorí analytik Rehúš.Povinné predprimárne vzdelávanie už od troch rokov, napriek tomu, že štát nevie plne presadiť dochádzku do povinných škôlok už od aktuálne platných piatich rokov dieťaťa. Povinné maturity z matematiky, hoci práve tam, kde ich podľa odborníkov vlastne až tak veľmi netreba. Zákaz mobilov, ale predovšetkým zásadná zmena vo financovaní neverejných škôl. Po novom si budú musieť súkromné či cirkevné školy vybrať - buď svoje brány otvoria všetkým a podriadia sa tak štátu alebo prídu o časť peňazí, ktoré na deti v konečnom dôsledku platia ich rodičia zo svojich vlastných daní.Bude táto štátom vynucovaná inklúzia fungovať alebo si rodičia detí zo súkromných škôl budú musieť opäť siahnuť hlbšie do vrecka? Prečo je inklúzia u nás problémom, v čom je vlastne tak dôležitá a prečo si štát - ktorý už sám roky nedokáže zabezpečiť kvalitné vzdelávanie pre všetky naše deti - myslí, že to vie lepšie než súkromné či cirkevné školy?„Slovenská spoločnosť nevníma vzdelanie ako jednu z priorít. Potvrdzuje to i diskusia k balíku školských reforiem, ktoré aktuálne presadil minister Drucker. O žiadnu veľkú reformu určite nepôjde,“ tvrdí Michal Rehúš.Téma dnešného podcastu s analytikom Centra pre vzdelávacie analýzy Michalom Rehúšom. Počúvate Aktuality Nahlas, pekný deň a pokoj v duši praje Braňo Dobšinský.

Napokon sa z toho stala taká tá typicky slovensky nedotiahnutá snaha o akési „zglajchšaltovanie“ slovenského školstva.Parlament schválil veľký balík siedmych zákonov z dielne ministra školstva. Množstvo nedotiahnutých i silne kontroverzných zmien. Veľa nášľapných mín i riešení prijímaných bez potrebných analýz či celospoločenskej diskusie, zásadné zlepšenie vzdelávania našich detí od toho nečakajme, hodnotí Druckerov balíček Michal Rehúš z Centra vzdelávacích analýz.„Staviame veci z nôh na hlavu, začať to malo od toho, aby sme si spočítali, koľko stojí tento štát kvalitné vzdelávanie pre všetky naše deti. Diskusia musí začať od výšky príspevku, ktorý štát dáva na zabezpečenie kvalitného vzdelania pre všetky naše deti,“ hovorí analytik Rehúš.Povinné predprimárne vzdelávanie už od troch rokov, napriek tomu, že štát nevie plne presadiť dochádzku do povinných škôlok už od aktuálne platných piatich rokov dieťaťa. Povinné maturity z matematiky, hoci práve tam, kde ich podľa odborníkov vlastne až tak veľmi netreba. Zákaz mobilov, ale predovšetkým zásadná zmena vo financovaní neverejných škôl. Po novom si budú musieť súkromné či cirkevné školy vybrať - buď svoje brány otvoria všetkým a podriadia sa tak štátu alebo prídu o časť peňazí, ktoré na deti v konečnom dôsledku platia ich rodičia zo svojich vlastných daní.Bude táto štátom vynucovaná inklúzia fungovať alebo si rodičia detí zo súkromných škôl budú musieť opäť siahnuť hlbšie do vrecka? Prečo je inklúzia u nás problémom, v čom je vlastne tak dôležitá a prečo si štát - ktorý už sám roky nedokáže zabezpečiť kvalitné vzdelávanie pre všetky naše deti - myslí, že to vie lepšie než súkromné či cirkevné školy?„Slovenská spoločnosť nevníma vzdelanie ako jednu z priorít. Potvrdzuje to i diskusia k balíku školských reforiem, ktoré aktuálne presadil minister Drucker. O žiadnu veľkú reformu určite nepôjde,“ tvrdí Michal Rehúš.Téma dnešného podcastu s analytikom Centra pre vzdelávacie analýzy Michalom Rehúšom.

Zdravo. Tokrat mimo betona in štange skočimo do ideje o naši stolpnici v Londonu z velikim sijočim napisom na vrhu, Aljo se spomni na velike ognjene črke nad Innsbruckom (Innsbruck, pripravi bencin in hlode, ali pa LED-trak, odvisno od regulacij). Množični turizem mora postati bolj trajnosten in to bo za nas storil kapitalizem. To se bo zgodilo takrat, ko bo vse tako drago, da nihče od nas ne bo mogel več nikamor! Mi se vrnemo k knjigi, ekipa je v zraku, najprej morajo prileteti do Labuan Baja, a se zdi, da se vozijo z letali Air Uganda. Polovica kabinskih merilnikov ne dela - kar je super, ker imata pilota polovico manj skrbi, kaj bi lahko šlo narobe. Zabavajo nas tudi letališki terminali (kolibe), pristanki in prtljaga. Še ena epizoda polna potopisnega kaosa, Douglasovega humorja in naših nebuloz.

This week on On The Line, Matt Gurney is joined by two guests for two very different conversations. First up is Christopher Nardi, a parliamentary reporter at the National Post's Ottawa bureau, and an old friend of Matt's. They talk about the end of the summer — yes, sadly it's true — and what we've seen so far from the Carney government. Chris offers some hope that there might be more going on than has met the eye, but he's also a realist about the challenges the new government is going to face. The two also touch on the Conservatives, and why that party is glad to have its leader back in the House, before musing about the future — if any — of the federal NDP. They aren't writing the New Democrats off entirely, but making it back from here will be a steep climb.This episode of On The Line is brought to you by Airbnb. Canada needs to take real action on bringing housing costs down – but experts agree that regulating short-term rentals like Airbnb is nothing more than a distraction. This makes sense when you consider two key statistics: Canada needs 5.8 million homes to reach affordability by 2030, and Airbnbs account for only 0.6 per cent of Canada's overall housing stock. The closer you look, the clearer it gets that Canada needs bold action that addresses the entire housing market, not just 0.6 per cent of it.Additionally, regulating short-term rentals would limit the productive role that Airbnbs play in helping Canadians get by. Did you know that 47 per cent of Airbnb hosts in Canada report that income from hosting has helped them stay in their homes?

The conversation is all about, as they say, "just the facts." What is the law on self-defense in Canada? What can you do, and what can't you do? Why did an attempt by the Harper government to make the law better for people defending themselves actually end up making things worse in some ways? And if Ian had the chance, how would he fix it? As it turns out, he and Matt are thinking along very similar lines.This episode is also brought to you by the Métis Nation of Ontario. It's Penetanguishene, 1840. More than a decade after relocating from Drummond Island, a group of Métis families signed their names to paper. Their petition was simple: recognize us and our rights. The answer was a policy formally excluding Métis communities from recognition, denying their existence for generations. But the petitions did not stop. From Penetanguishene to Sault Ste. Marie, Fort Frances and north to Moose Factory, Métis in Ontario insisted they are a distinct Indigenous people, with their own history, identity, and rights. That fight has carried forward into self-government agreements with Canada. Today, the Métis Nation of Ontario is a recognized Métis government, with the authority to build its own laws, institutions, and future. What began as a petition nearly two centuries ago lives on in the work of the MNO today, ensuring that Métis rights are recognized for generations to come.

In this episode of On The Line join Jen Gerson as she delves into a fascinating conversation with Professor Avi Loeb, a renowned astrophysicist, about the mysteries of interstellar objects and the possibility of extraterrestrial intelligence.This episode of On The Line is brought to you by Airbnb. It's no secret that Canada is in a housing crisis. Some think that short-term rentals such as Airbnbs are the problem. But the total amount of Airbnbs that could be converted into long-term homes accounts for only 0.6 per cent of Canada's housing stock. In reality, Airbnbs play a key role in stimulating local economies across Canada, with Airbnb guests generating an estimated $10.8 billion in visitor spending. Learn more at Airbnb.ca/closerlook.Leob is best known for his work arguing for the possibility that many recently discovered interstellar objects, like  Oumuamua may, in fact, be extraterrestrial in origin. Either space trash from a distant civilization or even an intelligent probe. He's back in the news this week with thoughts about a recently discovered object now heading toward our sun known as 3I/ATLAS. This episode is also brought to by the Métis Nation of Ontario. It's Sault Ste. Marie, in 1820. In the early 1800s, on the St. Mary's River, Métis traders moved fur, fish, and goods through the water highways of the Upper Great Lakes. Before Confederation, there was a country being built with supplies brought one canoe at a time. Today, Métis governments like the Métis Nation of Ontario are building again. Canada is investing billions to strengthen the economy against tariffs. To last, this next economy must include the people who built the first one. The MNO is calling on Prime Minister Mark Carney to work with Métis governments to improve consultation and partnerships on major projects and expand investments in Métis businesses and communities. The Métis were here at the beginning building this great country. And they're still here, ready to build again.

Did the Cincinnati Bengals Have a Strong Enough 2025 NFL Draft Class? The Cincinnati Bengals' 2025 NFL Draft class has sparked debate among fans and analysts, with questions lingering about whether it was robust enough to elevate the team back to Super Bowl contention. With six picks, the Bengals focused heavily on defense and offensive line depth, but the class's immediate impact and long-term potential remain under scrutiny. The headliner, first-round edge rusher Shemar Stewart from Texas A&M (No. 17 overall), embodies the draft's high-risk, high-reward theme. Stewart's athleticism—6'5”, 267 pounds, with a 40-inch vertical—screams elite pass-rusher potential, yet his college production (4.5 sacks over three seasons) raises concerns about his readiness to contribute instantly alongside Trey Hendrickson, whose future with the team is uncertain. Analysts like Drew Garrison gave this pick a C, citing other defenders who could have offered quicker returns. Second-round linebacker Demetrius Knight Jr. (South Carolina) and fourth-rounder Barrett Carter (Clemson) addressed a pressing need at linebacker, especially with Germaine Pratt's trade request. Knight's versatility and Carter's speed bolster the unit, but Knight's age (25) and Carter's undersized frame question their ceilings. Third-round guard Dylan Fairchild (Georgia) was a fan favorite, earning praise for his wrestling background and fit with new offensive line coach Scott Peters. However, fifth-round tackle/guard Jalen Rivers (Miami) and sixth-round running back Tahj Brooks (Texas Tech) are seen as depth pieces rather than game-changers. Critics argue the Bengals missed opportunities to address the secondary or add a pass-rushing defensive tackle, leaving holes in Al Golden's defensive scheme. Posts on X reflect mixed sentiment, with grades ranging from B to D, averaging a C-. While the class emphasizes maturity and leadership, its lack of immediate impact players could hinder a team banking on Joe Burrow's prime. Time will tell if this draft pushes Cincinnati forward or falls short.

I'm a better mom when our house is in order. I'm more fun…I'm not running around stressed. So, that is still the hardest for me is getting him fully on board and really getting him to lean in with me.” (18:53 | Katie) “It took a few weeks  for it to become a habit for me and now I just do it. I don't think about it; I don't dread it. It's just something I do before I go and sit down after dinner and kids and bed and all those things.”(20:31 | Jenny) “Hardest part was letting my kids do more because I feel like I was always just cleaning up because it was going to be quicker and things went where they needed to go. But my kids are old enough now, they're five and seven, and they know the different bins and, ‘Legos go in this one or Barbies in this one,' and I just wasn't letting them do that. So, this made me think, ‘Actually, get the kids involved. They can do it,' and they do it pretty well.” (21:12 | Mandy)   Links Connect with Moms Night Out Hosts: You can listen to the Moms Night Out podcast by clicking here: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/moms-night-out/id1709587885 Follow Moms Night Out here: https://www.instagram.com/momsnightoutmno?igsh=MXhwMXl1NDNoenJ5Ng==   To join the free "New Year, New Clarity: Organize Your Life in 2025" experience happening TODAY, please sign up here: https://www.gridandglam.com/new-year-new-clarity   Connect With Corinne: https://www.gridandglam.com/ https://www.corinnemorahan.com/ https://www.instagram.com/gridandglam/ https://www.instagram.com/corinnemorahan/ https://www.linkedin.com/in/corinnemorahan/ https://www.facebook.com/gridandglam https://www.youtube.com/@gridandglam1 Podcast production and show notes provided by HiveCast.fm
