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.

Before we start the class today, I need to give you some information about our field trip on the 27th of May. As you know, we're spending the day at The Science Museum in London. 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.

I'll give a presentation on it in my class tomorrow.(Text2)M: Hello, do you have The Best of Mozart?W: Um, sorry, we've just sold out. But we can order one for you. If you give us your number, we'll call you when the CD arrives.(Text3)W: We'd better be going now, or we'll be late for the train.M: No rush. It's 8:30 now. We still have two hours.(Text4)M: I am so tired of driving all those hours to work.W: Yeah, I know what you mean. I used to drive two hours to work each way. But now I live within walking distance of my office. I don't even need a bike.(Text5)W: Hi, Andy! I didn't see you in Prof. Smith's class yesterday. What happened?M: Well... I had a headache, so I called him and asked for sick leave.(Text6)W: The biggest mistake I made,uh, was leaving college in my last year and not completing my education. So I'm thinking of going back to school.M: School? To study what?W: Ecology. I'm interested in the relationship between humans and nature.M: Cool. Is it what you studied years ago?W: No, I majored in Chemistry then.(Text7)M: Good morning, madam. I am your guide for this trip.W: How lovely! Could you tell me about the hotel I'm going to stay at?M: Yes, of course! The Grand Hotel opened in 1990, and it sits on the seaside along the South Coast Highway.It is the most beautiful hotel here.W: That sounds great!M: And there are some restaurants outside, so at dinnertime, you'd have a lot of choices.W: That's really nice!

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.

You'll find a copy of your weekend's schedule in your room. Take a look at it, and make sure you're clear about everything. Well, that's all from me for now. Go and leave your luggage in your rooms. 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.«

Then we're going boating on Saturday. And on Sunday, we're going to do some shopping. Then I will take some time to visit my aunt Lucy. M: You're not going to camp, are you? Isn't it a bit cold?W: No, we're not. It is a bit cold. We're staying in a country inn. It's not like five-star hotels or anything. But it's really comfortable.M: Hmm, sounds interesting. You know, it's the boating that I don't like.W: Well, what are you up to?M: Sit on my sofa all weekend and watch the DVDs I've just bought. And that will be a busy weekend. I may finish watching Friends.W: I don't know how you can do that all weekend, Gordon. I'd get bored.M: I know, I know. But that's really what I want to do. Text 10M: Hello. Welcome to the program. 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.

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.

Piše Tatjana Pregl Kobe, bereta Eva Longyka Marušič in Bernard Stramič. Pesniško zbirko Aleša Jelenka Socialna omrežja zaznamuje spajanje različnega in na prvi pogled nezdružljivega. Prevladujoč neoseben digitalni svet in iskanje intime, tišine, resnice. V pesmi najpomembnejši dan dneva se pesnik pretaka v svojo kopijo, v svojo elektronsko verzijo brez spomina ali občutkov, ker jih ne potrebuje in oni ne njega. Resničnost zanj sploh ne bo pomembna, ker je ne bo več. Digitalna poezija, kot je naslov prve pesmi, je edina možna napoved pesniške zbirke Socialna omrežja: kaže se kot govorica robota, ki monotono uporablja in prelamlja besede. Prvoosebnega pripovedovalca razgradi do niča. »fejsbuk / fejst rukne vate da te izloči / izlušči te to-talno / izkoščiči // dokler od tebe osta-ne le votla glava / da se manifestiraš skozi ekran / / apdejtaš status / digitaliziraš živ-ljenje do konca / povsem do konca / da od tebe ne ostane nič čisto nič // nič.« V pesmi glas(ovi) tudi glas lirskega subjekta z vstopom v brezobličnost izgubi osebnost, da se lahko razblini in povsem raztelesi. Njegov glas nenadoma ni več en glas izmed mnogih, temveč glas mnogih v enem. »Smo novi kiborgi, ki beležimo svet, ki ga sploh ne živimo,« je v eno misel strnila koncept celotne pesniške zbirke Tonja Jelen v spremnem besedilu. Zbirko Socialna omrežja sestavljajo trije sklopi pesmi: Čipi in mikrokozmos, Bližina in njena odsotnost in Digitalizacija in robotizacija. Vsi naslovi pesmi so napisani z malo začetnico in so večinoma ključ do razumevanja vsebine. Kako vstopiti v prostor poezije Aleša Jelenka, kako ubesediti podobo našega časa v verzih pesnika, ki med hitrim tokom sodobne tehnologije v današnjem digitalnem svetu išče svetlobna leta oddaljeno tišino? Tehnologije vrtoglavo napredujejo in so postale neločljiv del našega vsakdana. S tem se je marsikaj spremenilo. To je bilo Jelenku jasno že v njegovi zbirki Kontejner (2016), ki je s strupeno indigo modro barvo naslovnice, za kar gre zasluga sopesnici Heleni Zemljič, ki je prispevala tudi tako imenovano vezje za to podobo, že asociirala na računalnik kot nekakšno simbolično predhodnico zbirke Socialna omrežja. Ne sestavljajo je ničvredne ali zavržene pesmi, temveč na novo ustvarjene: recikliranje v umetnosti jemlje za osnovo že uporabljeno in celo izrabljeno staro snov in jo predela. Prosto po Kosovelu postane gnoj zlato. Na nek način je tako snov vsebinsko in oblikovno uporabljal tudi Tomaž Šalamun. Pesmi v zbirki Kontejner so s poustvarjanjem njegovih pesmi postale nove, sveže, sodobne in se s samosvojo izreko znova ponujajo v branje prav v letošnjem, velikemu kraškemu poetu posvečenem letu. A če je šlo pri Kontejnerju za protest proti ekološki bombi, gre v zbirki Socialna omrežja za iskanje prostora tišine v digitaliziranem svetu, za zavedanje lastne notranjosti. Za iskanje v klikih na računalniku izgubljene resnice in intimno človeškega v času, ko nas oblikujejo algoritmi, zasloni in povezave, ki ne poznajo odklopa. Ta poezija z ubesedovanjem izkušnje v objavljenih pesmih oblikuje odprt socialni prostor. Že s tem stopi v ospredje aktualen pogled v razliko med informiranjem, vedenjem in spoznanjem, poleg tega je v njej ubesedeno razmerje med digitalnim in resničnim svetom kot ga doživlja pesnik na četrtini 21. stoletja. Realno življenje, pravi v drobnem preblisku v pesmi paralelnost, je blazno krhko kot porcelan, toda tišina, ta tišina je tukaj. Ve, da se kljub staranju nikoli ne bo odvezal tišini (definicije). Živimo v času, ko se tok zgodovine in tehnološkega napredka spreminja z vrtoglavo hitrostjo. Sprejemamo ga, saj se dogaja zunaj naših odločitev. Računalnik nas sili, da povsod puščamo svoje sledi. Z digitalnim pretokom informacij se je spremenil tudi način življenja, družabno življenje in medsebojno druženje se vedno bolj umikata v odvisnost od ekranov in socialnih omrežij. Množična uporaba digitalnega sveta se je začela s FaceBook-om po letu 2004, v naslednjih dveh desetletjih so se pridružili Instragram, Twitter, X, TikTok. V zbirki Socialna omrežja pesnikov glas opozarja na proces drugačnega branja, drugačnega spoznavanja sveta s pomočjo tehnologije, ki »hiti in se giblje ter vsake toliko časa poskoči« in ga prehiteva z obeh strani (v kontekstu). Ve, da se je spremenil pretok informacij, način komuniciranja med ljudmi, splošen odnos do umetnosti in tudi nivo rabe jezika. Tudi poezije, saj pesniška antologija Instapoeti vključuje najboljše pesnike sveta na Instagramu, kamor se jih prijavlja na tisoče. Indijsko kanadska pesnica Rupi Kaur, ena izmed začetnic globalnega fenomena prenove literature oziroma poezije kot mainstreama, v svojih treh knjigah, prevedenih tudi v slovenščino, s pesmimi, ki izražajo bolečino, a tudi katarzo in osvobajanje, razbija univerzalne tabuje na socialnih omrežjih. Tudi Jelenkova revolucionarna pesem nič manj ne razbija tabujev na slovenski literarni sceni. Ta pesem »ne bo krvavela namesto tebe / niti ne bo krvavela za kogarkoli drugega / ne bo oznanjala moderne božje besede / ne bo mahala z vpijočimi zastavami / ne bo iskala pravice / niti maščevala neresnice / ne bo / ona zgolj bo / in to ji bo dovolj.« Doživljanje razlike med minulim in današnjim svetom se bo spremenilo v vrtoglavo bližajočem se času nadvlade umetne inteligence. Se bomo še spraševali, kako doseči in spoznati resnico, ki je vedno izmuzljivo daleč zunaj posameznikovega dosega. Kako slediti pesniku, ki v meditaciji obstaja točno tam, kjer se stikata splet in poezija; kako prisluhniti njegovi definiciji, po kateri otipljivost nosi v sebi tisto literarno držo, ki je word ne vzdrži, ker je prepoln samega sebe? Posameznik je v svetu Aleša Jelenka – in ne le njegovem – omejen samo nase in na svojo odtujenost v digitalnem vesolju računalnikov, pametnih telefonov, tablic, umetne inteligence in robotov. Zunaj sklenjene verige medsebojnih odnosov ni več neposredno odvisen od preteklosti niti ne odloča o prihodnosti. Odpre računalnik, se izlije vanj (računalnik) in shrani spomine, čeprav ve, da bodo čez dvajset let peščeno pot prekrivali tlakovci, spomini pa bodo, skonektani z internetom, kadarkoli dosegljivi, le njihova pristnost bo vprašljiva (o spominih).

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.

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

Piše Iztok Ilich, bereta Jure Franko in Lidija Hartman. Celovec: Mohorjeva založba; Ljubljana: FF Znanstvena založba, 2025 Na prvih straneh nove sijajne knjige Nataše Golob se pesnik Boris A. Novak v navdihujočem pozdravu zahvali avtorici s parafrazo naslova, ki ga je dala svoji raziskavi: Zahvaljena, ti, Nataša, ki bereš in pišeš … Nagovarja jo kot vrhunsko in mednarodno priznano avtoriteto na področju umetnostne zgodovine srednjega veka, še posebej iluminiranih rokopisov, ter obenem vsestransko podkovano in lucidno umetnostno zgodovinarko. Priznava ji, da je z novo, po ugotovitvah prelomno raziskavo zapolnila globoko vrzel v našem poznavanju srednjeveške knjižne kulture na Slovenskem in z njo bistveno spremenila dosedanje predstave o zgodovini kulture na slovenskih tleh. Novak, ki se je v prepesnitvah pomembnih del srednjeveške poezije izkazal za mojstra besede, ki občuti in razume veličino ustvarjanja v besedilih in podobah v sploh ne mračnem srednjem veku, v tem povzetku pove tisto najpomembnejše, zaradi česar se mora bralec pokloniti novi raziskavi, s katero Nataša Golob nadgrajuje svoje delo, objavljeno v monografijah Srednjeveški rokopisi, S črnilom in zlatom ter že prej v drugih znanstvenih publikacijah in prikazano na odmevnih tematskih razstavah. Najpomembnejše sporočilo razkošne knjige s podnaslovom Literatura v srednjem veku na Slovenskem in njeno občinstvo je na dolgoletne raziskave oprta ugotovitev Nataše Golob, da ohranjena slovenska srednjeveška literarna kultura obsega vsaj trikrat toliko primerkov, kot sta jih leta 1931 v Katalogu srednjeveških rokopisov s 161 enotami v naših javnih knjižnicah in arhivih dokumentirala Milko Kos in France Stele. V ta seznam pri nas ohranjenih listin in kodeksov je vnesla nekaj popravkov, predvsem pa ga je razširila z rokopisnimi dokumenti, nastalimi v tukajšnjih skriptorijih, ali vključenimi v samostanske in plemiške knjižnice, ki pa so jih pozneje odnesli iz naših krajev. Na pogosto izražene dvome, da bi Paolo Santonino ob obisku v Žički kartuziji mogel videti 2000 rokopisov, odgovarja, da je ta številka morda celo prenizka. Avtorica, prepričana, da kolofoni, pripisi, zgodovinske beležke in druge prvine potrjujejo slovenski izvor rokopisov, v njih vidi gradnike na poti do celovitega razumevanja ohranjenih pisnih spomenikov, njihove primerjave z lastnostmi rokopisov iz slovenskih javnih zbirk pa so ji dale trdnejše časovne in delavniške okvire. Pri tem ni upoštevala le rokopisov z vpisanimi besedami slovanskega izvora, kot je bilo v navadi pri literarnih spomenikih, pomembnih za razvoj slovenskega jezika. Pogled je razširila na vso knjižno kulturo, povezano z našim prostorom. Odločila se je starejše sezname dopolniti z rokopisi, ki so, kot je pojasnila, zdaj v tujini, a jih kolofoni, pripisi, zgodovinske beležke itd. dokumentirajo kot rokopise iz naših krajev. V preverjenih dokumentih s tem skupnim imenovalcem je odkrivala gradnike »na poti do celovitega razumevanja ohranjenih pisnih spomenikov, neposredne primerjave z lastnostmi rokopisov iz slovenskih javnih zbirk pa so dale trdnejše časovne in delavniške okvire.« Nataša Golob nasprotuje pogostim navedbam v starejši literaturi, da so bili ljudje v srednjem veku nepismeni, zapisovalci pa kvečjemu »beležkarji«, tako da znanje v knjigah ni imelo veljave. Nasprotno, je prepričana, »v različnih samopredstavitvah so osebe, ki so sedele za rokopisi, sporočale svoja imena, misli, občutke, celo šale in uganke. To so bili najpogosteje prepisovalci, a prav tako korektorji, urejevalci, večkrat tudi bralci in lastniki.« Ohranilo se je namreč blizu sto imen, od meniha Bernarda iz Stične do več deset drugih kopistov in knjižnih slikarjev, ki so ob svojem imenu zapisali, da so doma, na primer v današnjih Slovenskih Konjicah, Ljubljani, Novem mestu, Celju, Kopru itn. Delo sledi spoznanjem v novejšem času, da vsebine, ki so jih kopičili izobraženi in radovedni bralci, niso bila samo liturgična in teološka besedila, podrejena potrebam Cerkve in posvetnih oblasti. Pogled usmerja tudi na povezave med literaturo in vsebinami iz listin in dokumentov ter na doslej ne prepoznan vpliv takih, sekundarnih, zapisov na tedanjo likovno in glasbeno umetnost. Z branjem doslej manj znanih besedil, dodaja Nataša Golob, se zdaj začenja jasniti razmerje med govorjeno in zapisano besedo. Množica spomenikov t. i. pragmatične pismenosti pa še čaka na podrobnejše popise in analize. Raziskava s skoraj 1800 opombami in 60 stranmi slikovnih prilog je v knjigi strnjena v osem poglavij. Avtorica predstavlja nastajanje, razvoj in posebnosti rokopisne dediščine, piše o šolah, študentih in pišočih, o skriptorijih, rokopisnih delavnicah in prepisovalcih pa o starejših knjižnicah in popisih knjižnih del zlasti v Sloveniji, z njimi v zvezi tudi o pisarskih oznakah, ekslibrisih, glosah in signaturah, o pozni antiki in krščanskih motivih, Brižinskih spomenikih, Legendariju iz Gornjega Grada in rokopisih iz Stične. Zadnje poglavje govori o poznem srednjem veku ter prinaša opombe k slovarskim in leksikalnim delom, pravnim spisom, epiki, liriki, nabožnemu pesništvu, pridigam itn. Vsak rokopis je enkraten, tudi če je prepis – če nič drugega, so v vsakem drugačne napake, pravi Nataša Golob. In še: Knjiga kot objekt, narejen po človekovi volji, iz človekovega znanja in hotenja, je izhodišče za vsakovrstna miselna in čustvena stanja … S knjigo lahko povežemo skoraj vse, kar se človeku zgodi in kar je v človeku; od pohlepa, zasvojenosti, nečimrnosti, ljubezni, čaščenja do prezira, sovraštva in zavržnih idej.

Mezinárodní vězeňské společenství je české křesťanské ekumenické sociální hnutí, které chce být na blízku lidem ve výkonu trestu i po něm, obětem trestných činů, dětem odsouzených rodičů i těm, kdo ve vězeňství působí profesně. Množství oblastí působení, mnoho prostoru pro lásku, která mění životy. I o ní svědčí ředitelka MVS Gabriela Kabátová, když popisuje svoji cestu k této práci. Vznik práce Prisson Fellowship (mezinárodní organiziace, jejíž je MVS součástí) sahá do 70. let a souvisí s aférou Watergate. Příběh americké i české práce s vězni je především příběhem Boha, který chce být blízko člověku a nabízí mu svou lásku. Tento podcast můžete podpořit na https://radio7.cz

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.

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.

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? To learn more about how Airbnb is helping, not hurting, Canada's economy, visit Airbnb.ca/closerlook.After that, Matt is joined by Ian Runkle, a lawyer with expertise in firearms law and self-defence, and also the voice behind the YouTube channel Runkle of the Bailey. 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.

Gospodarska slika pri nas je bila v drugem četrtletju letos boljša kot v prvem, po nepričakovanem padcu je namreč sledila 0,7-odstotna rast. Nadaljnjo rast bi lahko ogrozila zunanja geopolitična tveganja, med drugim v trgovini. Na rast BDP-ja je sicer najbolj vplivala zasebna potrošnja.

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.

This episode of On The Line was recorded in advance, as Matt Gurney is away on summer vacation. But we didn't want to leave you hanging — so we've got two long-form conversations this week that are well worth your time.This episode is also brought to you by the Métis Nation of Ontario. For generations, Métis communities in Ontario helped build Canada's first great economy — the fur trade. They farmed, traded, raised families, and fought for their rights.In 1993, they founded the Métis Nation of Ontario (MNO) to protect their future. In 2003, the Supreme Court affirmed their rights. In 2023, Canada recognized the MNO as the Métis Government in Ontario. Now, with a newly elected federal government, it's time to move forward.The MNO is calling on Prime Minister Mark Carney to advance the government-to-government relationship; resolve outstanding historic Métis claims; improve access to health care, mental health, and addictions services; and invest in Métis housing, education, and infrastructure. Generations of leadership brought us here. It's time to get it done. Learn more at OntarioMetisFacts.com.In the first segment, Matt catches up with his old National Post colleague Tristin Hopper, now the author of Don't Be Canada: How One Country Did Everything Wrong All At Once. They talk about what prompted the book, the reporting moments that pushed him over the edge, and how quickly the world's view of Canada has shifted. Some readers saw it as a welcome dose of honesty. Others, as a betrayal. Matt gets it — he's had exactly the same reactions whenever he's noted things like "Maybe we shouldn't have so much trash on the sidewalks." In the second segment, Matt speaks with Mitch Case of the Métis Nation of Ontario about Indigenous rights, especially around resource development. What does “consultation and accommodation” actually mean on the ground? Why do Canadians and Americans keep getting it wrong? Mitch also reflects on the differences between how each country understands (or doesn't understand) its own history — and the frustrations that follow for Indigenous peoples.Full disclosure: The MNO is an advertising partner for The Line, including for this episode. But this segment is not sponsored content — it was produced through The Line's normal editorial processes, and the MNO did not receive (or ever seek) any special treatment or consideration, and exercised no editorial control over the interview or its contents.

Množično umikanje tujih državljanov iz Izraela in Irana nakazuje na možnost razširitve spopadov na Bližnjem vzhodu. Kot pravi Viktor Mlakar z zunanjega ministrstva, so Iran zapustili trije Slovenci; v stiku so z 20-imi slovenskimi državljani v Izraelu. Za državljane pripravljajo vse opcije, če se odločijo za umik iz države. Druge teme: - Sodišče Evropske unije je delno ugodilo tožbi proti Evropski komisiji, ker ni razkrila podrobnosti obiska v Sloveniji, ki ga je 2023 opravila takratna evropska komisarka Vera Jourova. Tožnik - evropski poslanec Milan Zver - meni, da gre tudi za kritiko komisarjev oziroma visokih evropskih uradnikov, ki so po njegovem menili, da lahko naredijo vse kar želijo. - Dolgotrajna oskrba bo bolje ovrednotena, je napovedal pristojni minister Simon Maljevac. Izvajalci pozdravljajo višje urne postavke. - Predvidoma septembra bomo dobili sistem javnega obveščanja o pomembnih dogodkih in nesrečah SI-Alarm. Direktor Uprave za zaščito in reševanje Leon Behin je povedal, da bomo s potisnimi obvestili dobili prve informacije o tem, kaj se dogaja in kako naj ravnamo ob posamezni nesreči oziroma dogodku.

Ministerstvo vnútra pripravuje zákon o boji proti nenávisti na internete, ktorý má zabrániť šíreniu nenávisti, vyhrážkam a kyberšikane na internete. Otázne je, či nás ochráni aj pred nenávisťou z úst vládnych politikov.Veronika Frankovská upozorňuje, že niektoré výroky Roberta Fica, ktoré sa v poslednom období šíria zostrihané, mali širší kontext, v ktorom výzvu na násilie najprv zmieni a následne zdôrazní, že je proti takýmto spôsobom. Týka sa to napríklad výroku „Zoberme palice, lopaty a poďme do národnej rady. Zoberme palice, lopaty a poďme na úrad vlády“. Množstvo iných Ficových výrokov ale vyznieva rovnako agresívne aj v pôvodnom kontexte.Advokát a odborník na mediálne právo Tomáš Kamenec komentoval výrok aktivistu Petra Laťáka “Opozícia sa spojila, posledná kvapka odkvapla a posledný klinec do Ficovej rakvy je zabitý. Je to už len otázka času, nie je to či, ale kedy pôjde Fico dolu.”“Nie je to šťastný výrok, ale nie je ani trestný. Volil by som iné slová, ale tváriť sa, že je to podnecovanie k vražde, je prehnané, lebo je jasné, kde a v akom kontexte to hovoril.”, hovorí Kamenec.Všíma si tiež zmenu v citlivosti na nenávistné prejavy u niektorých politikov “Zdá sa mi pokrytecké, keď niektorí politici dnes hovoria, že bojujú proti nenávisti. Z nedávnej minulosti by sme vedeli nájsť príklady, kedy z nenávisti ťažili, nenávisť využívali a hojne podporovali.”Právna úprava nenávistných prejavov je podľa Tomáša Kamenca dostatočná. “V našej spoločnosti chýba rešpekt a politikom zodpovednosť. Vymenil by som akýkoľvek nový paragraf za zodpovednosť politikov.”

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

Ukrajina zastavila od Nového roku tranzit ruského plynu přes své území. Pro Českou republiku to znamená, že se musí obejít bez ruských dodávek. Politici v Česku i jinde v Evropě nicméně ujišťují, že alternativních zdrojů plynu je dost. „Jde o velikou změnu, ale v kontextu událostí po roce 2022 to vlastně až taková změna není. Množství plynu z Ruska je ve srovnání s dobou před ruskou invazí na Ukrajinu marginální,“ srovnává odborník na energetickou bezpečnost Martin Kocůrek.
