Informativo de primera hora de la mañana, en el programa El Remate de La Diez Capital Radio. Hoy hace 365 día: El alcalde de Gáldar lanza un dardo a la cúpula de Nueva Canarias y propone que dimita. …y hoy hace un año: Canarias sin dinero ni personal especializado para atender a los menores migrantes.

Hoy es miércoles 11 de junio de 2025. Día Mundial del Cáncer de Próstata. El 11 de junio se celebra el Día Mundial del Cáncer de Próstata, una patología que afecta a más de 1,2 millones de personas en el mundo. Esta efeméride se creó con la finalidad de sensibilizar y concienciar a la población masculina, acerca de la importancia de conocer precozmente el cáncer de próstata y la aplicación del tratamiento respectivo. El cáncer de próstata o prostático es el cáncer que se origina por un crecimiento descontrolado de las células de la próstata. La próstata es una glándula con forma de nuez ubicada debajo de la vejiga y delante del recto en los hombres. Es la encargada de producir el líquido seminal que nutre y transporta el esperma. Esta patología no está asociada a un estilo de vida y hábitos poco saludables, como tabaquismo, obesidad, alimentación desbalanceada o alcoholismo. El principal factor de riesgo lo constituye la edad y los antecedentes familiares. 1895: en Francia se celebra la primera carrera de automóviles de la historia: París-Burdeos-París. 1933.- Los españoles Mariano Barberán y Joaquín Collar, con el avión Cuatro Vientos, llegan a Camagüey (Cuba) desde Sevilla, recorrido en el que invirtieron 39 horas y 55 minutos, plusmarca mundial de vuelo sin escala sobre el mar. 1946.- La RDA elige a su primer presidente, Guillermo Pieck. 1950.- El francés Henri Matisse recibe el Gran Premio de Pintura en la 25 Bienal de Venecia. 1982.- Más de 800.000 personas se manifiestan en Nueva York en favor de la paz. 1989.- El tenista estadounidense Michael Chang, de 17 años, gana el torneo de Roland Garros y se convierte en el vencedor más joven. 2009.- La OMS eleva la alerta por la gripe A al nivel de pandemia. 2014.- El Congreso español aprueba la ley de abdicación del rey. 2015.- El rey Felipe VI retira a su hermana Cristina el título de duquesa de Palma de Mallorca. 2018.- El presidente del Gobierno español, Pedro Sánchez, ofrece acoger a los 629 inmigrantes del barco Aquarius, rechazado por Italia y Malta.

El PP y otras formaciones piden la comparecencia de Sánchez en el Congreso ante su "fuga permanente" Palma sufre un apagón que deja sin electricidad a toda la isla por el fallo de un generador. Ante este cero energético, el Gobierno de Canarias ha activado el Plan de Emergencias de Canarias. - Entrevista en el programa El Remate de La Diez Capital Radio a David Hovhannisyan, miembro del Consejo de Dirección de la ONG Mer Dum en Armenia desde 2007. En esta edición, celebramos junto a él el 20º aniversario de esta organización comprometida con la acción social y humanitaria en el Cáucaso. Hovhannisyan repasa dos décadas de labor solidaria, los desafíos que ha enfrentado Mer Doom en contextos de conflicto y pobreza, y los logros alcanzados en favor de las comunidades más vulnerables de Armenia. Una conversación inspiradora sobre compromiso, cooperación internacional y esperanza. En 2025, la organización sin fines de lucro Mer Doon celebra su 20º aniversario de compromiso y entrega a las jóvenes mujeres de Armenia. Fundada en 2005 por Tigranuhi Karapetyan y la inolvidable Julie Ashekian, Mer Doon nació como respuesta a una necesidad urgente: ofrecer un hogar, educación y esperanza a chicas huérfanas o en situaciones extremadamente vulnerables. - Sección en el programa El Remate de La Diez Capital Radio con nuestro colaborador, Sergio Canino. En una charla sosegada y reflexiva, nos adentramos en lo humano y en lo divino, explorando esos temas que nos conectan con lo esencial de la vida: la naturaleza del ser y las emociones que nos definen como personas. Una conversación sin prisas, abierta y profunda, para pensar, sonreír, sentir y cuestionar. - Sección en el programa El Remate de La Diez Capital Radio con nuestro chef y jefe de cocina, Ramón Hernández en Cocina Canaria sin Vergüenza. Desde Italia, nuestro colaborador gastronómico nos guía paso a paso en la elaboración del exquisito postre canario Príncipe Alberto. Con calma y detalle, Ramón nos muestra cómo preparar esta deliciosa mousse de chocolate con bizcochos empapados en café, avellanas y almendras, realzando su textura cremosa y su sabor sofisticado. Además, nos revela la historia que se oculta tras su nombre: una creación de La Palma atribuida a doña Matilde Arroyo en el siglo XX, una repostera local que lo bautizó en homenaje –o broma cariñosa– al Príncipe Alberto de Mónaco, “porque estaba tan bueno como él” Ramón nos cuenta cómo, con paciencia y cariño, esta receta ha llegado a ser un clásico en la cocina canaria, presente en cafeterías y reuniones familiares por su irresistible combinación de chocolate, frutos secos y café. Entre anécdotas, técnicas culinarias y evocadoras cucharadas, la conversación se convierte en un cálido viaje entre lo profesional y lo afectivo, conectando tradición y sabor a través del relato y la cocina en directo. - Sección de actualidad informativa y política en El Remate con el analista social y político, Clemente Afonso. En esta sección, contamos con la visión experta de Clemente Afonso, quien plantea una reflexión incisiva: “la sociedad civil no está, si se la espera”. Afonso advierte que la participación ciudadana sigue siendo secundaria en el debate público. Durante la charla, analiza en profundidad los hilos que conectan política y vida cotidiana, y cómo la ausencia o pasividad de la sociedad civil repercute en las decisiones institucionales y la legitimidad democrática. Su enfoque crítico nos invita a cuestionar si realmente estamos movilizados para influir o simplemente esperamos que otros actúen por nosotros. Con tono claro y firme, Afonso recorre los principales temas de actualidad: desde tensiones institucionales hasta la necesidad de reforzar la cohesión social. Una conversación serena pero contundente, que nos hace preguntarnos: si realmente queremos que la sociedad civil sea protagonista, ¿qué estamos dispuestos a hacer para permitirlo?

“I don't know what's worse: to not know what you are and be happy, or to become what you've always wanted to be, and feel alone.” Welcome back to another episode of Made You Think! Today, we're delving into Flowers for Algernon by Daniel Keyes. Join us as we take you through the journey of an intellectually disabled man who undergoes a procedure with the hopes of increasing his mental abilities. We'll unpack several themes that resonate deeply with the human experience, and seek to get our questions answered on what it truly means to be intelligent. We cover a wide range of topics including: The relationship between intelligence and loneliness Whether the experiment actually made Charlie worse off Influence of social norms and media on individual beliefs and behaviors The existence (or lack of) internal dialogues How handicapped people are often viewed and treated And much more. Please enjoy, and make sure to follow Nat, Neil, and Adil on Twitter and share your thoughts on the episode.

(6:18) Today we're talking about Flowers for Algernon by Daniel Keyes. The book takes us on the journey of a severely handicapped man who enters into an experiment in order to increase his intelligence. There will be spoilers so if you're planning on reading the book, we suggest you do that before listening to this episode! (12:28) Through Charlie's progression and regression, we get a glimpse into his levels of intelligence, awareness, and loneliness. He finds himself lonelier the more intelligent he becomes because as he gains more awareness, he learns that some people aren't truly his friends. (13:21) There seems to be a human desire to improve no matter what. Nat, Neil, and Adil debate whether Charlie was better or worse off in the end than he was at the start of his journey. (18:35) We discuss some of the other characters in the story and what their relationship with Charlie is like. Notably, Alice is one of the only people who saw him as a person throughout his whole life, even before he gained his intelligence.  (22:00) Charlie's family life and how the author wrote each of their closures with Charlie, or lack thereof.  (25:12) Despite Alice being a very positive figure in Charlie's life, you could make the argument that he didn't treat her very well. Regardless, Alice kept her hope and optimism in every situation. (28:18) Though the book is classified as science fiction, it also poses instances of moral philosophy. Showcased by the author were examples of how people with mental or physical disabilities are treated by others, both obviously and subtly.  (32:52) One of the symbols in the story was a window that Charlie would watch the world through. It was a way for him to interpret his disconnection from society. Throughout the story, Charlie makes progress once he acknowledges himself and his past rather than running and hiding from it.  (36:54) The progression of Charlie's intelligence vs. his emotional intelligence and how they changed at different rates. Plus, we talk about the role of the researchers and how he treated them. (40:02) Nat, Neil, and Adil talk about their interpretation of one of the earlier scenes in the book. In the background was some type of educational tape played for Charlie, but it could have also been symbolized to be his internal monologue. (41:40) Does everyone have an internal dialogue? We dig into a tangent of internal dialogue and why it may be that not everyone has one. (50:13) We break down the different versions of Charlie throughout his life and how his character changed throughout the story. (53:20) Recalling the Texas shooter from the 1960's who was found to have a brain tumor. This brings up many moral dilemmas as to whether someone like him should be allowed to walk after having the brain tumor removed. (56:02) Similarly, what is the tipping point for something small to snowball into a very dangerous idea? We continue with a discussion on the role of social norms and social media. You can live very close proximally to someone but be engaged in completely different social worlds. It's all about who you choose to follow and what types of content you engage with. (1:03:03) Where should the line be drawn in giving punishments to someone who has some type of illness in their brain, such as a brain tumor or lead poisoning? Let us know what you think! (1:09:13) Adil shares his experience with re-reading the book as well as ChatGPT's take on Charlie's sessions with his psychiatrist. (1:13:36) We talk about the author's writing career, including one of the other pieces that he has written. In fact, Apple TV came out with a mini-series based on one of his books!  (1:18:46) That wraps up this episode! We've got an exciting lineup for our next few episodes, beginning with Venkatesh Rao's essay, Fear of Oozification. Down the line, we'll also be covering Logicomix and re-reading East of Eden.
