La feria del libro llega a su ecuador y también la serie de cinco programas que hacemos desde aquí, desde la caseta de Aragón Radio y en los que buscamos entre nuestro vecinos propuestas diferentes e interesantes. Hoy les proponemos un menú de cuentos, poemas y una novela infantil escrita a cuatro manos en La Torre de BabelLos cuentos los publica con Jara dediciones Carlos Garcia Esteban, zaragozano que aprendió un aragonés normativo en clase. Desde entonces lo alterna con el castellano en su producción literaria. “Más que 14” es un libro de cuentos que demuestra con creces que la lengua no condiciona el contenido.Cris Rivero Merino, poeta y profesora publica con Olifante “Instrucciones para un funeral”, un poemario en el que la naturaleza y la vida sirven para reflexionar sobre la muerte. Patricia Gayan cierra nuestro programa con “Comando mapache”, una obra juvenil que firma a cuatro manos con Joaquín Berges.
"Bei den Neos ist unfassbar viel Traumapotential", sagt Jessie. Unser Gast diese Woche ist spezialisiert auf Integrative bindungsorientierte Traumatherapie. Sie ist ausgebildete Pflegekraft und betreut u.a. viele Neugeborene, die in traumatischen und generall normuntypischen Situationen geboren wurden, z.B. Frühgeburten. Probleme mit dem Schlafen oder Trinken rühren nicht selten von diesen Traumata, sagt Jessie. Ein wahnsinnig spannendes Thema, für das viele Kliniken noch nicht bereit sind. Wie läuft die Therapie ab? Wie werden die Eltern eingebunden? Und zahlt eigentlich die Kasse? Einschaltbefehl - und leitet die Folge unbedingt weiter an alle, die auch davon profitieren könnten!

In Österreich wird ab Juli die Mehrwertsteuer für bestimmte Lebensmittel von 10 auf 4,9 % gesenkt. Reine Symbolpolitik! Du, ich, wir alle zahlen zu viele Steuern: Die Mehrheit ächzt unter der großen Belastung durch Lohnsteuer und Mehrwertsteuer. Niemand zahlt gern Steuern, und die meisten wären auch für ein "gerechteres" Steuersystem.

Secretos de Japón Japón es una tierra llena de misterios antiguos, y en los últimos años también se ha convertido en un punto caliente de avistamientos ovni. ¿Podría ser, como sugieren los teóricos de los antiguos astronautas, que este país tenga una larga historia de actividad extraterrestre? El enigma de los cráneos alargados En todos los rincones del mundo, arqueólogos han encontrado extraños cráneos alargados. ¿Modificaron nuestros antepasados la forma del cráneo para parecerse a visitantes extraterrestres? ¿Y podría ser que alguno de estos cráneos sea realmente de origen no humano?
Las investigaciones arqueológicas continúan revelando que el pasado indígena de Canarias todavía guarda numerosas incógnitas. Nuevos estudios realizados en La Palma han sacado a la luz prácticas funerarias hasta ahora desconocidas en el archipiélago y sin paralelos claros en el mundo amazigh del norte de África. Hallazgos sorprendentes que abren nuevas preguntas sobre las creencias, los rituales y la manera en que los benahoaritas entendían la muerte, la memoria y la identidad colectiva. Hablamos con el arqueólogo Javier Velasco, del Cabildo de Gran Canaria, sobre un estudio recientemente publicado en la revista 'African Archaeological Review' y titulado "Empalados y exhibidos: manipulación de cráneos humanos y prácticas funerarias en las Islas Canarias prehispánicas".

The Good GameActivist investor seeks to oust Americold Chair Mark Patterson over “problematic boardroom behavior”Activist investor Sieve Capital is pushing Americold Realty Trust to remove board chair Mark Patterson, citing his tenure on the board of scandal-ridden office landlord Paramount Group.OpenAI releases policy proposals aimed at addressing fallout from AI-driven job losses The proposals, which OpenAI admits are “ambitious” and “intentionally early and exploratory,” include everything from a new industrial policy agenda to modernizing the tax system to expanding access to healthcare coverage and retirement savings.They are meant to help answer questions about job disruptions and AI systems that evade human control, and to protect against governments deploying AI in ways that run counter to democratic values.Among the core policy suggestions is a public wealth fund, which would see lawmakers and AI companies work together to invest in long-term assets linked to the AI boom, with returns distributed directly to citizens. Another is that the government should encourage and incentivize employers to experiment with four-day workweeks with no loss in pay and offer "benefits bonuses" tied to productivity gains from new AI tools.EPA Wants to Prioritize Microplastics, Pharmaceuticals as Water ContaminantsEPA Administrator Lee Zeldin said the move sends “a clear message: we will follow the science, we will pursue answers, and we will hold ourselves to the highest standards to protect the health of every American family.”Delta started sharing profits with its 100,000 employees two decades ago. CEO Ed Bastian says shareholders love itThe payout is sizeable: this year, Delta dispersed over $1 billion to its roughly 100,000 employees.Profit sharing distributes a slice of company earnings directly to workers as a cash bonus. At Delta, the formula is simple: 10% of the first $2.5 billion in adjusted profits, and 20% of everything above that.Proxy adviser ISS recommends vote against BP board over attempt to scrap some climate reportingISS recommended a vote against the BP board on revoking some previous climate reporting resolutions and allowing it to hold online-only shareholder meetings: "A particularly compelling argument would be required to justify such a legal revocation, which we believe is unprecedented in the UK context," ISS said about BP's resolution to retire two resolutions from 2015 and 2019 requiring company-specific climate reporting which passed with near 100% support at the time.Activist shareholder Follow This broadens climate campaign against BPA group of European investors led by activist Follow This urged BP on Thursday to drop plans to scrap some company-specific climate-reporting commitments and called on shareholders to vote against the move at the oil company's annual meeting this month.Follow This also warned of possible legal action after BP refused to put a separate shareholder resolution on the agenda of its April 23 annual general meeting.TVA CEO Don Moul announces retirement as Trump slashes his payThe CEO of the Tennessee Valley Authority, the largest public utility in the United States, will retire July 1.Don Moul, CEO since April, 9, 2025, notified the public utility's board of directors April 3, closing a turbulent chapter for the federal power provider.Had Moul decided to stay on at TVA, he would have faced a 90% pay cut as the Trump administration seeks to cap pay for all TVA employees at $500,000.Moul, the highest paid federal employee, made about $6 million as TVA CEO in 2025.Similarly sized utilities in the South, and TVA in the past, have paid their CEOs substantially more than Moul made. Jeff Lyash made over $10 million in his last year as TVA's chief executive. Lynn Good, a recent CEO of the private Duke Energy company, drew $21.6 million in 2024, and in the same year the CEO of Southern Company made $23.8 million.Starbucks staff will now get paid weekly — and some will get new bonuseswill allow baristas and shift supervisors at Starbucks' top stores to earn up to $300 each quarter — or up to $1,200 a year — for meeting sales goals and consistently delivering a positive customer experienceUnited Airlines and flight attendants reached a tentative deal with $740 million in bonusesUnited Airlines and the Association of Flight Attendants-CWA reached a tentative five-year labor agreement on March 26 that would provide the carrier's 30,000 flight attendants their first pay increases since 2020, including a $740 million signing bonus pool and top wages of $100 per hour by the contract's end.Beyond base pay, the contract also covers compensation during the boarding process, additional pay when lengthy gaps occur between flights, and limits on how overnight flying can be scheduled.United said the agreement would make its flight attendants the highest-paid in the industry. Chief human resource officer salaries have surged 30% at S&P 500 companiesThe number of CHROs designated as named executive officers in public filings from Russell 3000 companies rose from 148 in 2021 to 230 in 2025Median compensation for Russell 3000 CHROs grew by 14.7% between 2024 and 2025, compared to 8.1% for all NEOs. When looking at S&P 500 companies, CHRO pay grew by 30.4% in the same timeframeCHROs are “taking on larger mandates, moving beyond that traditional operational focus, to take on something more,” Jones said. The fact that CHROs are becoming more “strategically integrated” into their organizations reflects how “workforce and culture issues really are just top of mind,” he added. The Entire State of Maine Is Poised to Ban New Data CentersThe bill was passed by the Maine House of Representatives last month and is expected to pass in the Senate as well, which would make Maine the first state in the country to ban new data centers. The unprecedented move highlights growing bipartisan political fallout over the AI hype and consequent construction boom.SPEED ROUNDIran war could spur Europe to double down on renewables — againFrom $85K to $528K: Caitlin Clark's 521% Pay Rise After New WNBA Deal Climate change is impacting golf, from player health to courses AND French ski resorts face 'downward spiral' amid climate change and funding meltdownBurger King to hire 60K workers as part of turnaround Red Lobster is reportedly bringing back Endless Shrimp 2 years after the CEO vowed it would never returnTrump fires Attorney General Pam BondiHershey is moving back to the original recipe for Reese's Peanut Butter Cups after the chocolate's grandson blasted them last monthUnited Airlines is rolling out beds in economy class
