Educators often get a front row seat to see their students realizing their potential. Those lightbulb moments when a new concept clicks are what a lot of educators say keep them going. Intervention Specialist Elena North and Occupational Therapist Maddy Schnabel recently got a front row seat to see their student, Cy, write his name for the first time - something that was possible because of the custom assistive device they designed and 3-D printed to enable him to use crayons, markers, and pens, just like his peers. In this episode, Maddy and Elena share their ongoing journey to overcome challenges to help unlock Cy's potential. And they share their dreams for Cy's future: Whatever he dreams for himself.SEE CY IN ACTION | Watch this short social media video to see Cy using his new assistive device for yourself.EXPLORE THE POSSIBILITIES | Educators who are considering whether 3-D printed devices can help their students are welcome to pick Maddy and Elena's brains about what they've learned so far in the design and printing process.

Confira os destaques de Os Pingos nos Is desta terça-feira (06):O governo brasileiro classificou como sequestro a captura de Nicolás Maduro pelos Estados Unidos durante reunião da OEA. O embaixador também condenou os bombardeios na Venezuela e afirmou que a ação ultrapassou um limite inaceitável da soberania do país. A repercussão negativa da prisão de Nicolás Maduro levou aliados do governo Lula a evitarem defesas diretas do regime venezuelano. Analistas apontam que o ajuste de discurso busca reduzir desgaste político e eleitoral, diante da rejeição popular ao ex-líder de Caracas e da polarização nas redes sociais. Dados do IBGE mostram que o Brasil chegou a um marco preocupante: 48 milhões de pessoas recebem o Bolsa Família, enquanto apenas 39 milhões têm emprego formal no setor privado. Economistas alertam que a expansão de benefícios sem crescimento do emprego pode gerar um ciclo negativo para a economia. O ministro da Justiça e Segurança Pública, Ricardo Lewandowski, deve deixar o comando da pasta ainda nesta semana. Desde o fim de 2025, ele tem comunicado auxiliares sobre a decisão, alegando fim de ciclo. Aliados dizem que uma conversa com o presidente Lula (PT) ainda pode tentar reverter o cenário. O ex-presidente Jair Bolsonaro sofreu um traumatismo craniano leve após uma queda durante a madrugada na Superintendência da Polícia Federal. Segundo informações médicas divulgadas, Bolsonaro caiu ao se levantar durante uma crise de soluços. O caso reacendeu o debate sobre sua permanência na unidade e pedidos por prisão domiciliar. Os presidentes da Câmara e do Senado decidiram não participar da cerimônia do governo em memória dos atos de 8 de Janeiro. A ausência de Hugo Motta e Davi Alcolumbre ocorre em meio à expectativa de um possível veto do presidente Lula (PT) ao projeto da dosimetria, ampliando a tensão entre o Planalto e o Congresso.

No 3 em 1 desta terça-feira (06), o destaque foi o recuo discreto do governo Donald Trump em relação à acusação de que Nicolás Maduro chefia um cartel de drogas — embora o processo siga em andamento. Durante reunião extraordinária da OEA, em Washington, o embaixador dos Estados Unidos, Leandro Lee Rizzuto, foi interrompido por um protesto. Reportagem: Eliseu Caetano. O ex-presidente Jair Bolsonaro (PL) sofreu uma queda na cela e teve o pedido de ida ao hospital negado pelo ministro Alexandre de Moraes.

A Rússia afirmou que a Venezuela deve decidir o próprio destino ao pedir a liberação imediata de Maduro. Já a Dinamarca declarou que um eventual ataque dos EUA à Groenlândia significaria o fim da OTAN. Reportagem: Luca Bassani. O presidente Donald Trump afirmou que “ninguém é páreo” para os Estados Unidos após a captura de Maduro, mas negou que o país esteja em guerra com a Venezuela. Reportagem: Fabrizio Neitzke. O aumento da produção de petróleo venezuelana, impulsionado por promessas dos EUA, impõe um desafio estratégico ao Brasil, que pode ser pressionado a antecipar a exploração na Foz do Amazonas para manter competitividade. Nos bastidores, o governo Lula (PT) pode passar por mudanças, com Fernando Haddad e Ricardo Lewandowski sinalizando possível saída. Enquanto isso, Tarcísio de Freitas (Republicanos) deve anunciar seus planos em abril, mas não é o favorito do Centrão. Reportagem: Igor Damasceno e Misael Mainetti. O Planalto prepara uma cerimônia para relembrar os atos de 8 de Janeiro, em meio à discussão sobre vetos no projeto de dosimetria das penas. Hugo Motta e Davi Alcolumbre não devem participar.

What does it actually look like to build a six-figure nutrition business in your very first year as a dietitian—while juggling multiple jobs, battling self-doubt, and trying to create a program women actually want? Today, I sit down with metabolism dietitian and OEA alum Morgan Yarborough for a powerful conversation on entrepreneurship, niche clarity, and the mindset shifts that took her from overwhelmed to fully booked.   Morgan shares her journey from almost becoming a nurse, to skipping the traditional clinical path entirely, to building a thriving online coaching business rooted in metabolism, body recomposition, and helping women finally understand why their bodies feel like they're fighting them. Together, we unpack exactly how she niched down, refined her messaging, and launched her first group program—all while working three jobs and navigating an emergency appendix surgery.   We also dive into the real behind-the-scenes of launching with a small audience, how she overcame the "no one will buy from me" fear, and the moment she realized her program was changing women's lives at a level she didn't expect. If you've ever wondered whether you know "enough," whether your niche is too saturated, or whether your audience is too small to sell…this episode is your proof that you can build something bigger than you think.   This conversation is equal parts strategy, mindset, and pure permission. If you've been craving clarity, confidence, and a reminder that your work matters, Morgan's story is going to light you up.   Tune in to hear: How Morgan skipped clinical, trusted her gut, and built a six-figure business her first year as an RD The exact niche shift that transformed her marketing—and her confidence Why her first group program sold out with only 1,300 followers The surprising mindset block keeping most women stuck in metabolism & body recomposition work How understanding metabolic adaptation became the breakthrough her clients desperately needed The moment Morgan realized her program was changing women's lives far beyond the gym or the plate Why she's walking away from corporate telehealth in 2026—and betting on herself instead   Connect with Morgan: Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/fitxmo_the_rd/   Instagram: @dietitiandeanna and @online.entrepreneur.academy   Want my help and strategies to have $30, $50 or $100K launches of your online program? Apply to OEA Scale

Dr. Hoffman continues his conversation with Maggie Frank, the national educator for CV Sciences, makers of PlusCBD Oil.

Exploring the Benefits and Science of CBD and Canna Mimetics with Expert Maggie Frank, the national educator for CV Sciences, makers of PlusCBD Oil. She has a deep-dive into the latest updates on CBD (cannabidiol) products, their benefits, and distinctions from THC (tetrahydrocannabinol). Frank explains the endocannabinoid system and how phytocannabinoids like CBD can help achieve homeostasis in the body, aiding in stress management, inflammation, and gut health. They discuss the nuances of different cannabis plants, the current landscape of CBD research, and the misconceptions around THC use. Additionally, Maggie introduces some innovative CV Sciences products, including those that do not contain CBD but offer similar benefits through canna mimetics—natural compounds that mimic the effects of cannabinoids. Among these products are a focus-enhancing gummy and a metabolic support formulation called ReShape. They also touch upon upcoming legislation and how it impacts the hemp industry. The discussion highlights the broad-spectrum potential of CBD and related compounds in promoting overall health and addressing various conditions.

No Fio da Meada de hoje, Adler Silva puxa um fio que começa no Sistema Interamericano de Proteção dos Direitos Humanos, passa pela Convenção Americana (Pacto de San José da Costa Rica) e chega às grandes dinâmicas contemporâneas de migração forçada, refúgio e conflitos internacionais. O episódio explica, com calma e método, como funciona o sistema regional da OEA, suas bases jurídicas e institucionais, e as diferenças fundamentais entre a Comissão Interamericana e a Corte Interamericana de Direitos Humanos — sempre com atenção especial aos pontos que mais aparecem no CACD. Ao longo do caminho, o fio conecta casos emblemáticos, como Maria da Penha vs. Estado Brasileiro, às responsabilidades dos Estados soberanos em matéria de direitos humanos, ao princípio da subsidiariedade e aos limites da jurisdição internacional. Mas o fio não para aí. A discussão avança para o fenômeno das migrações forçadas, diferenciando refugiados e deslocados internos, analisando dados recentes do ACNUR e aterrissando no marco jurídico brasileiro, com destaque para a Lei nº 9.474/1997 e a Declaração de Cartagena. Por fim, o episódio amplia o olhar para a História Internacional, revisitando as causas estruturais da Primeira Guerra Mundial: a ascensão da Alemanha unificada, a Weltpolitik de Guilherme II, a corrida armamentista, o sistema de alianças e o encadeamento diplomático que levou a Europa à Grande Guerra — numa leitura clássica, ancorada em Henry Kissinger.

Près d'une semaine après avoir voté, les Honduriens ne savent toujours pas qui sera leur prochain ou prochaine présidente. Le décompte des voix a été interrompu pendant plus de 48h ce week-end. Les deux candidats de droite sont en tête, tandis que le parti de gouvernement (gauche) rejette d'ores et déjà le résultat du scrutin. Plus de 88% des bulletins de la présidentielle du 30 novembre 2025 ont été dépouillés, avant une interruption du dépouillement samedi 6 et dimanche 7 décembre 2025, et devait reprendre ce lundi (8 décembre), a expliqué le Conseil national électoral (CNE) au Honduras. Les deux principaux candidats de droite sont au coude-à-coude : Nasry Asfura (pour qui le président étatsunien Donald Trump avait appelé à voter) est crédité de 40,19% des voix selon les résultats provisoires, contre 39,49% pour son concurrent direct Salvador Nasralla. La candidate du gouvernement sortant de gauche, Rixi Moncada (du parti Libre), est loin derrière (19,3%). «Libre ne reconnait pas les élections qui se sont tenues sous l'ingérence du président des États-Unis Donald Trump et de l'oligarchie, a-t-elle déclaré devant ses partisans dimanche soir (7 décembre). Ils ont attaqué le peuple hondurien. Un coup d'État électoral est en cours. Des millions de messages ont été envoyés pour menacer le peuple, pour dire que s'ils votaient pour Rixi, ils ne recevraient pas de transferts d'argent en décembre​.» «L'interrumption du décompte officiel depuis vendredi alimente les accusations d'irrégularités », regrette La Prensa. L'Organisation des États américains (OEA), qui a des observateurs électoraux sur place, demande aux autorités de «garantir la traçabilité» des votes, rapporte La Tribuna, pour «donner des certitudes» concernant le résultat final. Pour El Heraldo, le retard dans le dépouillement montre la «fragilité du système électoral» du pays. Dans son éditorial, le journal appelle au calme et à ce que «la volonté populaire exprimée dans les urnes» soit respectée.   Haïti : fin des blocages à l'université publique de l'Artibonite (UPAG) Aux Gonaïves, chef-lieu du département de l'Artibonite, des étudiants ont paralysé pendant plus de deux semaines le fonctionnement de l'Université Publique de l'Artibonite, l'UPAG, pour protester contre l'augmentation des frais scolaires. Les protestataires estiment qu'au vu du contexte actuel du pays, augmenter les prix aggrave la crise, sachant que ceux qui fréquentent souvent les universités publiques viennent des quartiers défavorisés. Le mardi 2 décembre, sur les images diffusées par le média en ligne Le Journal, des étudiants avaient contraint le personnel administratif de l'université à quitter l'établissement. Depuis le 24 novembre 2025, ils protestent contre l'augmentation des frais de scolarité. Par exemple, une année d'études à la Faculté des sciences infirmières ou d'agronomie coûte désormais 15 000 gourdes (près de 100 €) contre 12 500 gourdes auparavant. Les frais de scolarité des facultés de sciences de l'éducation, d'économie et de gestion sont passés de 6 500 à 10 000 gourdes (soit 66 €). Selon le rectorat, ces nouveaux tarifs concerneraient uniquement la promotion entrante. Mais pour Chilorvens Charles, ancien étudiant et chef de file des protestataires, il est hors de question que les prix augmentent. «Nous menons une bataille qui est juste. Nous demandons si les responsables tiennent compte de la situation de ceux qui s'inscrivent ici : d'où viennent-ils, qui sont leurs parents ? Car l'UPAG, en tant qu'université publique en région, a l'obligation de protéger ceux qui sont défavorisés, ceux qui ne peuvent pas aller dans les universités privées», explique-t-il à Ronel Paul de RFI. De son côté, le rectorat se défend. Même si l'université est subventionnée par l'État, l'objectif de l'ajustement des prix consistait à compenser, entre autres, l'augmentation des frais de fonctionnement de l'université en raison notamment de la création d'une nouvelle faculté, la construction d'un laboratoire de chimie et de biologie, l'acquisition d'une ferme agricole pour faciliter les expériences des étudiants en agronomie, sans oublier que l'établissement doit aussi faire face à des problèmes conjoncturels, selon le professeur Manne Jacques Dodat Jean, recteur de l'UPAG. «Vous n'êtes pas sans savoir que le prix du carburant a grimpé en Haïti depuis 2022, explique-t-il. Le gallon de carburant est passé de 210-215 gourdes à 560 gourdes. Pour faire fonctionner l'université, il faut beaucoup de carburant. Aux Gonaïves, il n'y a pas d'électricité depuis plus de cinq ans. Le courant de ville n'existe pas, d'où d'importantes charges de dépenses en carburant pour faire fonctionner le campus.» À la suite d'une solution proposée par un groupe de professeurs au sein de l'université, l'administration a accepté de réduire l'ajustement à 8 000 gourdes pour les facultés d'éducation, d'économie et de gestion, et à 14 000 gourdes pour les facultés d'infirmiers et d'agronomie, ce qui a mis fin à la crise, ajoute le recteur, affirmant que les cours devraient reprendre normalement ce lundi 8 décembre.   En Floride, implanter des coraux pour repeupler les récifs Le changement climatique - en particulier la hausse des températures de l'eau - et la pollution affectent gravement les coraux à travers le monde. Dans les Caraïbes, au large de la Floride (sud-est des États-Unis), se trouve l'un des plus grands ensembles de coraux au monde. Ces animaux marins sont essentiels pour la biodiversité : 25% des espèces maritimes en dépendent à différents degrés. Mais certains coraux sont menacés de disparition. Au sud de la Floride, la couverture de coraux en bonne santé sur les récifs a diminué de près de 90% par rapport aux années 1970. Face à cela, des initiatives ont été lancées pour repeupler ces récifs, comme dans l'archipel des Keys. À une demi-heure en bateau du port, une quinzaine de plongeurs enfilent leurs palmes et mettent leur masque et bonbonnes d'oxygène. Dans ces eaux turquoises, ils doivent accrocher chacun six coraux sur le récif, explique Edward Maille, correspondant de RFI aux États-Unis. Chacun gratte la surface, colle une petite bille de ciment puis y enfonce un socle sur lequel se trouve un corail. Encadré par l'association Icare, le groupe est composé de bénévoles ayant déjà un niveau minimum en plongée sous-marine. De retour sur le bateau, Lauren Hart, qui a grandi en Floride, a vu l'état du récif corallien se dégrader. «Vous pouviez voir des coraux et des éponges de mer de différentes couleurs : violet, orange, vert… Au fil des années, les couleurs se sont ternies pour laisser place à des nuances de marron», explique-t-elle. «L'océan et les récifs font partie de moi. Voir comment ça se dégrade, voir des coraux disparaître devant vos yeux, c'est très émouvant, très décevant», poursuit-elle, les larmes aux yeux.  Cet après-midi-là, 86 coraux ont été greffés. Michael Goldberg, co-fondateur de l'association, plonge depuis plus de 35 ans. Ces cinq dernières années, il a formé plus de 4 500 bénévoles, qui ont greffé près de 30 000 coraux. «Ça parait beaucoup, mais notre objectif se chiffre en millions de coraux à implanter sur les dix prochaines années : nous avons donc beaucoup de chemin à faire pour avoir un impact maximal et revitaliser l'ensemble du récif corallien de Floride », nuance-t-il.    Le monde de la salsa en deuil après la mort du Portoricain Rafael Ithier Porto Rico vient de perdre une légende de la salsa. Rafael Ithier, co-fondateur du Gran Combo de Puerto Rico est décédé ce samedi 6 décembre 2025 à l'âge de 99 ans. Pianiste autodidacte, directeur musical, arrangeur et compositeur d'un groupe «considéré par beaucoup comme le meilleur orchestre de salsa au monde», écrit l'agence AP. Cette disparition laisse un «vide irremplaçable dans la culture portoricaine» et latinoaméricaine, estime El Nuevo Día. L'orchestre, fondé en 1962, a joué sur les cinq continents et continue de le faire, même si Rafael Ithier a quitté la scène en 2006. Le groupe a même inspiré la mégastar portoricaine du reggaeton, Bad Bunny, qui avait samplé un de leurs morceaux dans son dernier album.    Dans le journal de la 1ère... À quelques heures de l'arrivée en Martinique de Gérald Darmanin, avocats et magistrats plaident pour le retrait de la «Cour criminelle départementale», explique Benoît Ferrand, d'Outre-Mer La 1ère.

Kelsie Bullock is a small-town teacher making a big impact - and proving that every student deserves to belong. A few years ago, she started a Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion Club for her Morgan County high school students.  Now, as political attacks threaten programs like hers, Bullock and her students are standing strong, creating a safe space where everyone can connect across differences and feel proud of who they are - no exceptions.KNOW YOUR RIGHTS | Take a listen to NEA's School Me podcast for a discussion with Alice O'Brien, general counsel for the National Education Association, as she walks through your rights, risks, and opportunities to push back against anti-equality policies and fear tactics: A Lawyer Explains: "DEI" and Anti-Equity Policies in Schools | NEA || OEA members with questions are urged to contact their Labor Relations Consultant for guidanceON THE FEDERAL LEVEL | Click here for information from NEA about several recent court rulings impacting inclusive education in public schools.In February, 2025, the US Department of Education issued a Dear Colleague Letter threatening schools and colleges across the country with the loss of federal funding in a matter of days if they continued to pursue vaguely defined “DEI programs.” The National Education Association, ACLU, and others filed a lawsuit to block enforcement of this directive, saying 'the Letter radically resets ED's longstanding positions on civil rights laws that guarantee equality and inclusion and impermissibly infringes on the authority of states and school districts over public education, as well as the First Amendment rights of educators and students. In April, a federal judge granted a preliminary injunction, preventing the US Department of Education from enforcing the directive while litigation continues.

These two loves directed her towards attending Ohio State for their vet program and coaching gymnastics through her time in college. She quickly realized, once starting college, that becoming a vet was not for her. She thought back on her life and realized that she has always been somewhat of a teacher to her younger sisters, her teammates, and her school peers. This, coinciding with her coaching, led her to realize that she may want to be a teacher. So she switched her major to zoology with a focus in anatomy and physiology, something she wanted to teach at the time. After graduating with her first degree, Bullock had a few hiccups for her licensure and ultimately ended up going back to Ohio State to get her bachelors in life science education. During this second degree program, she took an equity and diversity class that she attributes to her turning point in life. She learned so much about the history and culture of marginalized groups in the US and it opened her eyes. From that point on, she has been dedicated to learning and serving to help marginalized groups.Bullock enjoys her job, which allows her to actively express her D.E.I passion while also teaching about a topic she truly loves. She gets to help students learn in more ways than one.  Connect with OEA:Email educationmatters@ohea.org with your feedback or ideas for future Public Education Matters topicsLike OEA on FacebookFollow OEA on TwitterFollow OEA on InstagramGet the latest news and statements from OEA hereLearn more about where OEA stands on the issues Keep up to date on the legislation affecting Ohio public schools and educators with OEA's Legislative WatchAbout us:The Ohio Education Association represents nearly 120,000 teachers, faculty members and support professionals who work in Ohio's schools, colleges, and universities to help improve public education and the lives of Ohio's children.

To his children, Jasmine and Kingston, he is a hero, a teacher, and a source of unconditional love. It is from this foundational role that his mission to nurture, protect, and empower others flows. As a Physical Education teacher at Ironton Middle School, he has spent the last decade channeling that paternal energy into the gymnasium and onto the playing fields, understanding that building strong character is just as important as building strong bodies.But his classroom has no walls. For twenty years, he has been a pillar on the football field, coaching at multiple levels. In the grit and grind of practice, he has taught young athletes about discipline, teamwork, and resilience—lessons that extend far beyond the final whistle. This same unwavering dedication is offered to his faith community, where he serves as a deacon, providing spiritual guidance and support.Recognizing that his duty of care extended to the very colleagues who shape Ironton's future, he stepped into a new role three years ago as President of the Ironton Education Association. Here, he found a new arena for his passion. The same fire he brings to his students, his players, and his church, he now brings to serving his union members every single day.His mission is clear and profound: to better the work environment and culture for everyone involved in the Ironton City Schools District. He fights not just for teachers, but for the dedicated support staff, the students they all serve, and the entire ecosystem that makes education possible. He understands that a thriving school is built on respect and fairness for all.His guiding light in this work is a powerful conviction, echoed in one of his favorite quotes from Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.: “Our lives begin to end the day we become silent about the things that matter.”He has chosen a life of purposeful noise. He is not silent about fair treatment. He is not silent about safe and supportive schools. He is not silent about the things that matter to his family, his students, his fellow educators, and his community.Through his roles as a father, teacher, coach, deacon, and union leader, he demonstrates that true impact is measured not by a single grand gesture, but by the sum of a thousand daily commitments. He is a builder—of stronger bodies, sharper minds, fairer workplaces, and a more compassionate community. His story is a powerful reminder that one person's dedicated life can be the catalyst for a better world for all. Connect with OEA:Email educationmatters@ohea.org with your feedback or ideas for future Public Education Matters topicsLike OEA on FacebookFollow OEA on TwitterFollow OEA on InstagramGet the latest news and statements from OEA hereLearn more about where OEA stands on the issues Keep up to date on the legislation affecting Ohio public schools and educators with OEA's Legislative WatchAbout us:The Ohio Education Association represents nearly 120,000 teachers, faculty members and support professionals who work in Ohio's schools, colleges, and universities to help improve public education and the lives of Ohio's children.

En Honduras, el próximo 30 de noviembre, se renovarán el Legislativo y la Presidencia. Por un lado, el oficialismo y los opositores se acusan mutuamente de preparar un fraude electoral, y por el otro, la Fiscalía le está quitando autonomía a los órganos electorales. Este ambiente, dice la misión de observación de la OEA, está desestabilizando el proceso electoral y el personal encargado corre peligro. El frágil proceso electoral en Honduras se agravó a finales de octubre con la revelación de audios en los que la consejera del órgano electoral, Cossette López, y el diputado Tomás Zambrano, traman un supuesto fraude electoral. Misión de observación de la OEA Los opositores a su vez señalan a la candidata Rixi Moncada, del partido en el poder, de buscar un fraude electoral. En esta confusión, la Fiscalía se posicionó del lado de la presidenta Xiomara Castro, lo que preocupa a la misión de observación de la Organización de Estados Americanos (OEA). La misión será clave en este proceso electoral, considera Ana María Méndez-Dardón, directora para Centroamérica de la Oficina en Washington para Asuntos Latinoamericanos (WOLA): “Es bueno que al menos la misión de observación electoral de la OEA ya esté en el país. Puede jugar un rol importante en que, si sigue a tan pocos días de las elecciones habiendo falta de consensos dentro del Consejo Nacional Electoral (CNE), pueden instar a que ellos puedan ser como una especie de mediadores para desentrampar todas las cuestiones administrativas”. “En última instancia, ¿utilizar el Consejo Permanente, como se hizo en el caso de Guatemala, no? Que al final fue lo que logró que hubiese una transición pacífica para la toma de posesión de Bernardo Arévalo”, agrega. Amenazas al proceso La misión de la OEA, que lidera el excanciller paraguayo Eladio Loizaga, llamó a la justicia hondureña a garantizar “la seguridad de todos los funcionarios electorales contra cualquier persecución derivada de sus funciones”, una acción que sería difícil de cumplir, estima Méndez-Dardón, por vicios al interior de las instituciones hondureñas. “Hay entre siete y 10 denuncias activas en el Ministerio Público que tienen que ver con el proceso electoral. Unas son contra consejeras del Consejo Nacional Electoral, otras son contra incluso miembros de las Fuerzas Armadas. Entonces es delicado, digamos, que estas denuncias puedan avanzar y que en algún momento puedan incluso entorpecer el proceso”, explica. “Otra amenaza es el mismo Congreso Nacional: la Comisión Permanente del Congreso Nacional tendría un rol activo, lo cual anula un poco ese rol rector y garante que tiene el CNE. Entonces, son muchas las amenazas, pero yo creo que sí hay herramientas diplomáticas, tanto técnicas, por medio de las misiones, pero también políticas, por medio de otros órganos multilaterales”, subraya asimismo. Según las encuestas, hay un empate técnico entre tres candidatos: Rixi Moncada, del oficialismo, Salvador Nasralla, del Partido Liberal, y Nasry Asfura, del Partido Nacional.

After years of refusing to have the state pay its fair share of the cost of running Ohio's public schools and forcing local property tax payers to carry a bigger load to make up the difference, Ohio lawmakers are pushing a number of property tax changes that could slash revenues for school districts with devastating impacts on Ohio's public school students. So, what can the state actually do to provide meaningful property tax relief without doing so on the backs of our public schools? In Part 2 of this special two-part conversation, we take a look at the potential property tax reforms Ohio lawmakers could enact if they were really interested in something beyond short-sighted Band aid fixes.LISTEN TO PART 1 | Click here to hear the first half of the conversation with Dr. Howard Fleeter, where we dive into the history and impact of Ohio's property tax laws and the state policy changes that have fueled the rise in local property tax bills in recent years.

If you have not listened to Part 1, please go back and listen to it now.TAKE ACTION | House Bill 186 is one of several property tax bills making its way through the General Assembly right now.

For years, the Ohio legislature has pushed to have the state pay a smaller and smaller share of the cost of running Ohio's public schools, placing a bigger and bigger burden on local property taxpayers to make up the difference. Now, Ohio lawmakers are pushing a whole raft of property tax reform bills, many with potentially disastrous consequences for public school students across the state. So, what can the state actually do to provide meaningful property tax relief without doing so on the backs of the public schools that serve 90 percent of students in our state? To understand where we should go from here, we have to understand how we got to this pressure point. In Part 1 of this special two-part conversation, we take a deeper dive into how Ohio's property taxes work and what's driving a spike in property tax bills in recent years.LISTEN TO PART 2 |Click here to hear the second half of the conversation with Dr. Howard Fleeter, where we look at what the state could do to enact potential property tax policy changes without devastating Ohio's public schools.TAKE ACTION | House Bill 186 is one of several property tax bills making its way through the General Assembly right now.

Hace un año, Claudia Sheinbaum tomó protesta como la primera presidenta de México, y en su discurso aseguró que “llegamos todas”. A un año de su llegada a la silla presidencial, con cifras de feminicidios y desapariciones aún altas, ¿qué tan cierto es que “llegamos todas”? El mexicano herido durante el tiroteo en las oficinas de ICE en Dallas la semana pasada, Miguel Ángel García, falleció luego de estar varios días hospitalizado.Además… El estilista de celebridades Miguel de la Mora fue asesinado afuera de su salón de belleza en Polanco; Claudia Sheinbaum nominó a Alejandro Encinas como el nuevo embajador de México ante la OEA; Un terremoto de magnitud 6.9 sacudió Filipinas y dejó al menos 20 personas muertas; Donald Trump dijo que Hamás tiene tres o cuatro días para responder a su propuesta de paz para Gaza; Hubo un apagón generalizado de internet en Afganistán por el régimen del Talibán; E Elon Musk dijo que está desarrollando Grokipedia con intenciones de hacerle competencia a Wikipedia.Y para #ElVasoMedioLleno… El Rodney Cook Sr. Park en Atlanta es un parque “esponja” que ayuda a enfrentar las inundaciones.

Public education is not partisan, but it is political. What happens at the statehouse in Columbus makes a huge impact on what happens in our classrooms every day. That's why the OEA Ohio's New Educators (ONE) group is working to make sure educators have a seat at the table with lawmakers who are making education policy decisions. As ONE Member Organizer Alex Myers points out, the most effective conversations aren't always about policy specifics; they're about building constructive relationships and better understanding so lawmakers turn to educators for their input and stories.SUBSCRIBE | Click here to subscribe to Public Education Matters on Apple Podcasts or click here to listen on Spotify so you don't miss a thing.

En las elecciones generales de Bolivia del pasado día 17, el Movimiento al Socialismo, el partido de Evo Morales, sufrió el mayor revés de su historia al quedar fuera de la segunda vuelta presidencial programada para el próximo 19 de octubre. El candidato del MAS, Eduardo del Castillo, obtuvo solo el 3% de los votos y quedó en sexto lugar. Los contendientes por la presidencia serán Rodrigo Paz Pereira, un senador centrista que sorprendió con el 32% de los votos, y Jorge Quiroga, expresidente conservador con el 27%. El MAS ha dominado la política boliviana desde 2006, cuando Evo Morales asumió la presidencia con el 53% de los votos. La revalidó en 2009 y 2014 con resultados electorales aún mejores. Inspirado por el chavismo venezolano, Morales quiso emular a su maestro y alineó a Bolivia con regímenes antioccidentales como Venezuela, Nicaragua, Irán y China. Pero la Constitución de 2009, promovida por el propio Morales, limitaba los mandatos presidenciales a dos. Emulando a Hugo Chávez trató de eliminar este límite mediante un referéndum en 2016 que perdió. Aun así, el Tribunal Constitucional, controlado por él, le permitió presentarse en 2019. Las elecciones de ese año estuvieron marcadas por el fraude, que confirmó una auditoría de la OEA. Las protestas obligaron a Morales a marcharse en noviembre de 2019. Tras ello huyó del país y se estableció en Argentina apadrinado por Alberto Fernández. Entretanto, Jeanine Áñez asumió la presidencia interina. Su gestión, en principio de transición, se prolongó debido a la irrupción de la pandemia. Áñez terminó encarcelada por corrupción poco después de las elecciones de 2020 en las que el MAS regresó al poder con Luis Arce, ex ministro de Morales, que obtuvo el 55% de los votos. Pero la relación entre Arce y Morales se deterioró rápidamente, lo que resultó en una fractura interna dentro del MAS. En 2023, el Tribunal Constitucional anuló la reelección indefinida, inhabilitando de paso a Morales, que desde su escondite en la provincia de Chapare, donde está refugiado tras ser acusado de un delito sexual, pidió el voto nulo. Pero en el vuelco electoral ha tenido más que ver con la crisis económica que con la implosión de la izquierda boliviana. El país, que en los primeros años de Morales se benefició de los altos precios del gas natural, atraviesa desde hace años una crisis económica que no ha hecho más que empeorar. La producción de gas se ha reducido a la mitad por simple descuido y falta de inversiones. Del resto se han encargado los controles económicos, la corrupción y la falta de seguridad jurídica que se tradujo en el pasado en expropiaciones a empresas extranjeras, algunas españolas como Abertis o Iberdrola, cuyos activos fueron expropiados entre 2012 y 2013. Eso ha ahuyentado la inversión ahondando los problemas económicos. El resultado es una escasez crónica de divisas. Las reservas del banco central están en mínimos, la inflación ronda el 25%, el déficit público supera el 10% y los bonos son de alto riesgo. Los bolivianos se las ven y se las desean para llenar la cesta de la compra cuyo precio crece sin parar desde hace años. Los candidatos que se disputan la segunda vuelta tendrán que implementar reformas drásticas. Rodrigo Paz promete “capitalismo para todos”, mientras Quiroga aboga por cambiar “absolutamente todo” tras veinte años perdidos. Ambos capitalizan el deseo de cambio de la mayor parte de los bolivianos. La izquierda, entretanto, se enfrenta a una crisis duradera a la que no se le ve final.
