Esto es un extracto de Noticias del Motor Verano 2025 que se emite cada miércoles en Onda Cero. Lo que no vemos del motorsport Cuando vemos a un coche cruzar la meta, a 300 por hora, pensamos en el piloto. Pero detrás de cada victoria, de cada carrera, hay decenas —a veces cientos— de personas que no pisan el podio, pero sin las cuales nada sería posible. Hoy, en este último programa de la temporada, queremos rendir homenaje a quienes hacen funcionar el motorsport desde las sombras MECÁNICOS Primeros en llegar, y últimos en irse… Pit stops: 2 segundos o menos → récord Red Bull 1.82s (2019). Entrenamientos físicos y de coordinación constantes (como atletas). Mecánicos de resistencia o Dakar → improvisación + trabajo de madrugada. Riesgo: trabajan con presión, calor, piezas al rojo vivo. Breve cierre: No solo aprietan tuercas; ejecutan coreografías milimétricas que pueden ganar o perder una carrera. INGENIEROS Y ESTRATEGIAS Arranque: Detrás de cada decisión en pista hay cálculos, predicciones y horas de simulación. Ingeniero de pista: habla constantemente con el piloto, analiza datos en tiempo real. Software predictivo: elige la vuelta ideal para parar, o ajusta estrategia si hay un safety car. 20+ personas analizando datos por coche en F1. Ejemplos: Verstappen Abu Dabi 2021 → decisiones en segundos. Brasil 2021: ajuste de mapa motor salvó el coche de Hamilton. ENTRENADORES, FISIOS Y NUTRICIÓN Los fisios no solo curan lesiones. Preparan máquinas humanas para rendir al límite. Los pilotos sufren hasta 5G de aceleración en curvas → entrenamiento cervical, abdominal, reflejos. Pérdida de 2-4 kg por deshidratación en una carrera (especialmente F1). Cada piloto viaja con su “coach personal” que cuida descanso, dieta, mentalidad. Ejemplo: recuperación de Marc Márquez → entrenamiento específico tras cada operación. LOGÍSTICA El paddock es una ciudad temporal que se monta y desmonta cada semana. F1: más de 1000 toneladas de material por GP → barcos, aviones, camiones. Triple headers (3 carreras en 3 semanas): coordinación logística extrema. Cada equipo tiene plan de “logística crítica” (material mínimo para correr si todo falla). Dakar: bivouacs, helicópteros médicos, repostajes en medio del desierto. Ejemplo de la NASCAR: Este mismo fin de semana la NASCAR viajo desde Chicago hasta Sonoma (3400 km - 31h en coche) y ahora tienen que cruzar todo el país hasta Dover (4730 km - 42h en coche) para la próxima carrera DIRECCIÓN DE CARRERA Y COMISARIOS ​​Dirección de carrera decide bandera roja, safety car, tiempos. Comisarios: voluntarios en muchos países, entrenados para reaccionar en milésimas. Grosjean 2020 (Bahréin): intervención en segundos → salvaron su vida. Control total del circuito: cámaras, sensores, radio, helicóptero médico en pista. Agradecimiento a quienes no están en los focos pero lo hacen todo posible: Sin ellos, no hay carrera. Cierre de temporada: recordar a los oyentes que el motorsport es un esfuerzo colectivo. Hoy os he querido hablar de lo que no se ve, porque eso también es pasión por el motor

A mediados de julio, el gobierno lanzó la Estrategia Interinstitucional de Revinculación Educativa para reincorporar a estudiantes que habían abandonado la educación. El operativo, coordinado por ANEP, MIDES, MEC, INAU y BPS, entre otros actores públicos y sociales, detectó 5.382 menores en edad de educación obligatoria que no asistían a clases. En conferencia de prensa, el presidente de la ANEP, Pablo Caggiani, y el ministro de Desarrollo Social, Gonzalo Civila, informaron que, de los 5.382 niñas, niños y adolescentes detectados como desvinculados del sistema educativo, 2.246 retomaron sus estudios en las primeras tres semanas de julio de este año. Las autoridades explicaron que la estrategia incluyó visitas domiciliarias y contacto directo con las familias, lo que permitió entender las causas del abandono, y, en ese sentido, detalló que no hay un único motivo. “Había necesidad de que hubiera otro yendo a buscar, conversando. Tenemos un conjunto de gurises que aún así no retornan. Ahí las situaciones son realmente múltiples y todas muy embromadas para la vida de los gurises, desde no poder dejar la changa porque hay que pagar la olla en casa, hasta situaciones de salud o de muerte del familiar que cuidaba. Es decir, nos está dando información de qué cosas tenemos que mover desde el Estado para garantizar el derecho a la educación y vincularlos a instituciones”. El Estado continuará el seguimiento y, mientras tanto, quienes no estén inscritos dejarán de percibir asignaciones familiares. Además, señaló que los adolescentes de 15 a 17 años fueron los que presentaron más dificultades para la revinculación, y agregó: “Ahí hay que poner la lupa, ver qué nos está pasando, y qué les está pasando a los gurises que no logramos que estén en un centro educativo”.

As baterias desempenham uma variedade de funções no nosso cotidiano: seja em dispositivos eletrônicos, transportes elétricos, geração e armazenamento de energia, entre outros usos. Na busca por um futuro mais sustentável, um grupo de pesquisadores do Laboratório de Microscopia de Alta Resolução, do Instituto de Física da UFF, desenvolveu uma bateria nova à base de flúor e teflon. A bateria lítio-flúor ou PANfon possui oito vezes mais capacidade que as tradicionais e pode originar uma nova família que venha a substituir o uso do íon-lítio. Conversamos com o coordenador do projeto, o pesquisador Samuel Bertolini, doutor em Engenharia e Ciência dos Materiais pela Faculdade de Agricultura e Mecânica do Texas, sobre os próximos passos dessa descoberta.Produção e apresentação: Louise FilliesEdição: Vinícius Piedade 

What's Really at Stake When it comes to short-pay vs long-pay life insurance, the question isn't just about convenience—it's about control, options, and legacy. https://www.youtube.com/live/dPxt8Nui4g4 In this article, you'll learn: The difference between short-pay and long-pay policies Why a long-pay design gives you more flexibility and cash value How reduced-paid-up life insurance contracts really work What to consider if you want to use your policy as a family bank How to align your design with your legacy goals and future self Let's pull back the curtain on what really creates a robust, long-term infinite banking system. The Iceberg We've All MissedWhat Does “Short-Pay vs Long-Pay Life Insurance” Actually Mean?Infinite Banking System Explained—Why Long-Pay Is Often BetterReduced-Paid-Up Life Insurance Contracts—Built-In FlexibilityShort-Pay vs Long-Pay Life Insurance Policy—What's the Real Tradeoff?7-Pay or 10-PayLong-Pay Whole LifeDesigning Life Insurance as a Family BankPolicy Design for Tax-Efficient Wealth GrowthFuture Self Planning with Life InsuranceBalancing Liquidity and Premium CommitmentWhat You Need to RememberLearn MoreBook A Strategy Call The Iceberg We've All Missed We've heard it so many times—"I want a 7-pay," "Just show me a 10-pay option." It sounds appealing, right? Pay for a short time, and then you're off the hook. But here's what we've found in real conversations with clients over decades: No one ever says 20 years later, “I wish I could've stopped paying sooner.” In fact, they say the opposite. They wish they could keep paying. Why? Because they've seen what a well-designed long-pay policy does for their capital, liquidity, and long-term options. What Does “Short-Pay vs Long-Pay Life Insurance” Actually Mean? This isn't just semantics. It's strategy. A short-pay policy is designed to have all premiums fully paid within a set period—typically 7 or 10 years. Think "7-pay" or "10-pay." After that, no further payments are required to keep the policy in force. A long-pay policy is structured to allow for premium payments for as long as possible—often up to age 100 or even 121. But here's the kicker: you're not required to pay that long. You just can. And that difference opens the door to flexibility, scalability, and legacy. Infinite Banking System Explained—Why Long-Pay Is Often Better Short-pay might look sleek on paper. But infinite banking isn't about what looks good—it's about building long-term capital access and control. Here's what we've seen: Short-pay designs limit your contribution window You hit a ceiling on how much capital you can inject Your banking system stagnates when you stop funding Long-pay designs allow you to keep capitalizing your system for decades. That means: More compound growth More tax-efficient access to capital More opportunities to use your policy for real estate, business, or retirement If you think long range and don't fear capitalization, you set yourself up to win. Reduced-Paid-Up Life Insurance Contracts—Built-In Flexibility Here's a secret most people don't realize: Every life insurance policy is a short-pay policy if you want it to be. Thanks to the reduced-paid-up (RPU) provision, you can stop paying premiums at any time after the MEC window (typically 5–7 years), and your policy will remain in force with a reduced death benefit. So why design short from the start? When you structure your policy as a long-pay, you maintain the ability to: Stop paying when you want Shift to paid-up status on your terms Keep your options open Short-Pay vs Long-Pay Life Insurance Policy—What's the Real Tradeoff? Let's compare: 7-Pay or 10-Pay Forces early funding Good for clients needing a limited-time premium window Restrictive if you want to contribute more later Long-Pay Whole Life Spreads premiums over time

Summary In this article, I argue most of the interesting cross-cause prioritization decisions and conclusions rest on philosophical evidence that isn't robust enough to justify high degrees of certainty that any given intervention (or class of cause interventions) is “best” above all others. I hold this to be true generally because of the reliance of such cross-cause prioritization judgments on relatively weak philosophical evidence. In particular, the case for high confidence in conclusions on which interventions are all things considered best seems to rely on particular approaches to handling normative uncertainty. The evidence for these approaches is weak and different approaches can produce radically different recommendations, which suggest that cross-cause prioritization intervention rankings or conclusions are fundamentally fragile and that high confidence in any single approach is unwarranted. I think the reliance of cross-cause prioritization conclusions on philosophical evidence that isn't robust has been previously underestimated in EA circles [...] ---Outline:(00:14) Summary(06:03) Cause Prioritization Is Uncertain and Some Key Philosophical Evidence for Particular Conclusions is Structurally Weak(06:11) The decision-relevant parts of cross-cause prioritization heavily rely on philosophical conclusions(09:26) Philosophical evidence about the interesting cause prioritization questions is generally weak(17:35) Aggregation methods disagree(21:27) Evidence for aggregation methods is weaker than empirical evidence of which EAs are skeptical(24:07) Objections and Replies(24:11) Aren't we here to do the most good? / Aren't we here to do consequentialism? / Doesn't our competitive edge come from being more consequentialist than others in the nonprofit sector?(25:28) Can't I just use my intuitions or my priors about the right answers to these questions? I agree philosophical evidence is weak so we should just do what our intuitions say(27:27) We can use common sense / or a non-philosophical approach and conclude which cause area(s) to support. For example, it's common sense that humanity going extinct would be really bad; so, we should work on that(30:22) I'm an anti-realist about philosophical questions so I think that whatever I value is right, by my lights, so why should I care about any uncertainty across theories? Can't I just endorse whatever views seem best to me?(31:52) If the evidence in philosophy is as weak as you say, this suggests there are no right answers at all and/or that potentially anything goes in philanthropy. If you can't confidently rule things out, wouldn't this imply that you can't distinguish a scam charity from a highly effective group like Against Malaria Foundation?(34:08) I have high confidence in MEC (or some other aggregation method) and/or some more narrow set of normative theories so cause prioritization is more predictable than you are suggesting despite some uncertainty in what theories I give some credence to(41:44) Conclusion (or well, what do I recommend?)(44:05) AcknowledgementsThe original text contained 20 footnotes which were omitted from this narration. --- First published: July 3rd, 2025 Source: https://forum.effectivealtruism.org/posts/nwckstt2mJinCwjtB/we-should-be-more-uncertain-about-cause-prioritization-based --- Narrated by TYPE III AUDIO. ---Images from the article:Apple Podcasts and Spotify do not show images in the episode description.

You've probably heard about Modified Endowment Contracts (MECs) and wondered what all the fuss is about. Many people fear creating a MEC with their life insurance policy, but they don't really understand what it means or how it happens. In this episode, we break down the history behind MECs and why they were created in the first place. You'll learn how universal life insurance in the 1970s and 80s led to tax shelter abuses that prompted Congress to establish new rules. We explain exactly what happens when a policy becomes a MEC and what tax consequences you'll face. You'll discover that it's all about putting too much money into a policy relative to its death benefit, not just paying too much in general. You'll learn about the seven-pay test and how insurance companies track MEC compliance for you. We share real examples of how companies notify customers when they're approaching MEC limits and help them stay compliant. We also discuss the few situations where you might accidentally create a MEC, particularly with certain term riders attached to whole life policies. Plus, you'll find out when creating a MEC might actually be intentional and beneficial. The bottom line? You don't need to lose sleep over accidentally creating a MEC because insurance companies actively monitor this for you. ______________________________ Ready to learn more about life insurance strategies that work for your situation?

Em 2025, foi estabelecido pelo MEC que um novo exame anual será realizado pelo governo federal para avaliar a qualidade dos cursos de medicina no Brasil.

Engage Weekly is back with host F/O Adam Uhan as he provides key updates, news, and information from the Delta MEC's week. Tune in to also hear an update from the Delta MEC Chair, Capt. Eric Criswell, as he recaps the MEC's June 2025 regular meeting, current issues facing the pilot group, and plans for Section 6 negotiations just around the corner.Have a great weekend, everyone – see you next week!

In this episode, host F/O Ryan Argenta and Training Committee Chair, F/O Charlie Mader, unpack a growing pattern of dysfunction in Delta's Training Planning Department. Based on a steady stream of pilot reports, we highlight how disorganized scheduling, vague guidance, poor hotel logistics, and a lack of proper training support are creating avoidable obstacles for pilots — and undermining the standards outlined in the PWA. While our instructors remain professional and committed, it's clear that deeper issues in management's planning priorities and accountability are affecting pilot readiness and operational trust. We break down key concerns, explain what pilots need to watch for and what to do when affected, and discuss how the MEC is pushing for real solutions. Topics include:No-notice schedule changes and lack of required communicationInadequate hotel accommodations and rest protectionMissing seat supportPWA compliance concerns and ongoing grievancesWhat pilots can do now to protect themselves and push for change Delta pilots deserve a training system that works as hard as they do — this episode lays out what needs to change and how we get there.

In this exclusive interview, I chat with Peter Hlynsky, CEO of MEC (Mountain Equipment Company), one of Canada's most iconic outdoor retailers. Peter shares his remarkable journey from CFO to CEO over five years at MEC, detailing his passion for the outdoors that initially drew him to the company rather than retail specifically.MEC's origin story is captivating - it began in the early 1970s, when University of British Columbia students drove to REI in Washington, bought climbing gear, and sold it from their van on campus. This evolved into Canada's premier outdoor retail cooperative with 21 stores by 2020, becoming what Peter describes as "a candy store for the outdoors."The company's unique employee culture sets MEC apart in the competitive outdoor retail landscape. Staff members genuinely live the lifestyle they sell through "Rad Days" - paid outdoor adventures where employees test gear and bring back real-world experiences. This authentic product knowledge enables staff to provide honest recommendations, sometimes even steering customers away from products that don't fit their specific needs.Peter discusses MEC's significant transformation from a member-owned cooperative to a private company, maintaining the "member" terminology and benefits that resonate with Canadian consumers. The recently relaunched membership program includes purchase-based discounts, exclusive access to popular store events, and MEC's legendary "rock solid guarantee" - one of the industry's most comprehensive return policies.A significant development is MEC's return to Canadian ownership after being acquired by private equity in 2020. Peter and Chief Merchandising Officer Chris Beyer joined the new Canadian ownership group, led by Tim Gu, bringing manufacturing expertise that is particularly valuable for MEC's private label products, which comprise one-third of their business alongside branded products from Patagonia, Arc'teryx, and Yeti.The merchandising strategy balances premium branded products with MEC's highly-regarded private label offerings, providing similar quality at lower prices without wholesale markups. This combination creates a compelling value proposition that competitors struggle to match.Looking ahead, Peter sees significant growth opportunities as competitors exit the market following the COVID-19 pandemic. Atmosphere closed standalone stores, and regional players shuttered operations, creating organic growth potential. MEC plans opportunistic store expansion in underserved Canadian markets, capitalizing on available real estate from retailer closures.Peter's retail advice emphasizes focusing relentlessly on core competencies rather than chasing trending business models. For MEC, this means maintaining its specialty outdoor retailer identity through exceptional in-store service, curated product assortments, and a consistent customer experience across all channels.The episode highlights how authentic brand positioning, employee engagement, and customer-centric policies can sustain competitive advantages in challenging retail environments. MEC's successful transition from a cooperative to a company while preserving its brand values demonstrates effective change management in retail transformation.

In August 2024, the CDC updated its MEC. This included a recommendation for local anesthesia for IUD/S placement and also had guidance regarding misoprostol for that procedure. Coming up in July 2025, the ACOG will officially release a new clinical consensus on “Pain Management for In-Office Uterine and Cervical Procedures”. Are these recommendations similar to the CDC's? What about misoprostol? Was the non-use of local anesthesia for these office-based procedures rooted in racism and sexism? Listen in for details.

In response to the Frontier CEO's video from an airplane lavatory, an embarrassing lapse in professionalism, the Frontier pilots MEC is calling on management to address and correct a culture that prioritizes cost over quality, neglects employment empowerment, and is poorly perceived by the flying public. It is time to restore authority to captains and foster a true culture of caring and professionalism.

Just over 5 years ago, Sarah Baker created an  Instagram account that they hoped would evolve into something more. A couple of months later, they had connected with some other activists and filmmakers and launched a film festival of Earth Day shorts in 2020 - just weeks after the pandemic lockdown. Five years later, the group of volunteer creatives say they are Making Earth Cool with a “collective that creates content and events using science, comedy & creativity to educate & inspire people to be better stewards of our only home, Earth.” Baker joins us to talk about this year’s screening of short films, and the community activities MEC is spearheading, including a parade later in the week and what it calls a kind of spiritual “Earth Ceremony.”
