Pro statisíce lidí začíná období, kdy se jim při pohledu do kalendáře orosí čelo víc než v letním parnu. Je čas daní! Svět finančních úřadů se za poslední roky změnil k nepoznání. Papírové formuláře vystřídal digitální svět, ve kterém se povinnost komunikovat elektronicky stala pro mnohé nezdolatelnou horou. Jak to všechno zvládnout?

Shelley didn’t see herself as “an honoree.” She saw herself as a working mom in a male‑dominated industry who just wanted to stay ahead of breast cancer. In this conversation, she walks us through the mammogram she almost didn’t get, receiving the news of a Stage 0 DCIS diagnosis, and the 10 years of follow‑up, skin checks, and colonoscopies that followed. Her story reminds us that early detection, asking questions, and having access to care—like the care The Rose offers uninsured and underinsured women—can change everything. She also shares why she’s using her role at this year's Everything’s Coming Up Roses Luncheon to spotlight access to mammograms and diagnostics for women who can’t afford them.

Key Questions Answered What led Shelley to push for her first 3D mammogram at 41 instead of waiting until 50? How did her history—friends with breast cancer in their 30s and a family member who died—shape her sense of urgency? What does a stage zero DCIS diagnosis mean, and why did she wrestle with whether it “counted” as breast cancer? How did Shelley decide on a shorter, more intense “Canadian” radiation regimen, and what side effects did she experience? How did she talk to her husband and young son about her diagnosis without overwhelming them? In what ways did her workplace support her through biopsy, lumpectomy, and radiation so she could keep working? How did ringing the bell—and seeing her mother there—change how she processed the whole experience emotionally? Why did she become more assertive with doctors about mammograms, Pap smears, and other screenings after cancer? How did later health scares—melanoma on her back and her husband’s colon cancer—reinforce her commitment to early detection? What does Shelley hope listeners understand about The Rose’s role in providing mammograms, diagnostics, and treatment navigation for uninsured and underinsured women? Timestamped overview 03:30 Honoree at Everything’s Coming Up Roses, Shelley’s background as a mom and plastics industry leader, and her mother’s role as a business owner. 07:30 Pushing for an early mammogram at almost 40, getting delayed, then insisting at 41 on a 3D mammogram because of friends and family lost to breast cancer. 10:00 Calcifications, biopsy, lumpectomy, and hearing “stage zero DCIS”; becoming a “Google doctor” and wrestling with whether stage zero “counts” as cancer. 14:30 Choosing a four‑week Canadian radiation regimen, handling side effects, staying organized with questions for every doctor, and finishing treatment. 18:30 Ringing the bell, being surprised by her mom, finally breaking down, and how her kids processed “Mommy is sick but getting treated.” 22:30 Work support, flexible leave, staying on the job through treatment, and the relief of not having to fight employers while fighting cancer. 26:00 Living as a pragmatic, matter‑of‑fact patient, annual anxiety around scans, pushing for Pap smears and colonoscopies, and learning to question doctors. 29:00 Melanoma diagnosis, yearly (now more frequent) skin checks, taking her kids for annual skin exams, and teaching them why preventative care matters. 30:16 Her husband’s colon cancer, why “cancer” is both a scary and hopeful word in their home, and what it means to step into the honoree role to support The Rose’s mission of early detection and access to care for women who can’t afford it.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Ya estamos en el mes de marzo. El tiempo pasa volando, ¿verdad? Ya hace casi dos años que llegamos a Luxemburgo. Parece mentira. Y hablando de mentiras, lo que no parece real es la noticia que vamos a escuchar hoy. Pero puedo asegurarte que ha pasado de verdad. Es muy curiosa. Y antes de ir con ella quiero situarte un poco en el contexto general de la seguridad en España. Porque la noticia va de eso, de seguridad. En primer lugar, imagino que querrás saber si España es un país seguro en términos de delincuencia, o sea, de robos, agresiones, asesinatos y ese tipo de cosas. Pues bien, según los datos más recientes, la criminalidad en España ha bajado casi un 1% respecto al año anterior. A nivel internacional, España aparece de forma habitual entre los países con niveles de criminalidad bajos. También en los rankings europeos, las ciudades españolas suelen ocupar posiciones favorables en comparación con otras de Francia, Italia o el Reino Unido, que suelen presentar índices más altos de delitos y sensación de inseguridad. ¿Significa eso que no existe delincuencia? No, por supuesto. Como ocurre en casi todos los países, los delitos se concentran sobre todo en las grandes ciudades y en los lugares con mucho turismo. Por ejemplo, en ciudades como Barcelona o Madrid, los pequeños robos siguen siendo frecuentes, especialmente en zonas muy visitadas. Además, hay un fenómeno creciente en los últimos años: la cibercriminalidad, los delitos en internet, que ya representan alrededor del 20 % de los delitos totales en España. Aun así, las cifras muestran que España conserva una estabilidad notable: desde 2010, la tasa de criminalidad apenas ha cambiado, y se sitúa alrededor de 50 delitos por cada 1.000 habitantes, un nivel relativamente bajo y comparable a los países europeos más seguros. En resumen, podemos decir que España es, en general, un país seguro, con niveles bajos de delincuencia violenta, mucha presencia policial y un sentimiento de seguridad elevado en la mayoría de las regiones. Los principales problemas siguen siendo los robos y ciertos delitos urbanos vinculados al turismo, pero las tendencias globales no muestran un aumento preocupante. Con este contexto ya explicado, vamos ahora a una historia que demuestra que, a veces, hasta los delitos más pequeños pueden acabar resolviéndose… gracias a la suerte. No quiero darte más detalles. Prefiero que escuches la noticia y luego la analizamos con calma. Pertenece a Radio Nacional de España. “Noticia curiosa, la mala suerte de un ladrón en Avilés. Le han detenido al intentar cobrar los décimos de lotería que había robado en una casa. Más datos desde Oviedo, Teresa Coto. El caso de la lotería premiada. Es el nombre que la Policía Nacional puso a la investigación para dar con el ladrón del robo perpetrado en Avilés el pasado 15 de diciembre, en el que se sustrajeron joyas, relojes y también varios décimos del sorteo de la lotería de Navidad. Uno resultó premiado con 120 euros. El sospechoso envió a otra persona a cobrar el décimo y así es como los agentes dieron con él. Ignacio Alonso de la Torre, portavoz de la Policía Nacional en Asturias. Lo que no esperaba es que el azar se pusiera de parte de los dueños de la casa. El día 22, uno de esos décimos ganó un premio y la policía, que ya estaba sobre la pista, empezó a vigilar de cerca las administraciones de lotería. Al final, el décimo premiado, que debía ser su gran botín, se convirtió en la prueba definitiva para que la Policía Nacional le pusiera las esposas. Por eso recuerdan los agentes la importancia de que las víctimas de robos denuncien detalladamente los objetos sustraídos.” ¿Qué te ha parecido? El ladrón no era muy inteligente, ¿verdad? O a lo mejor pensaba que la policía era tonta. Bueno, el caso es que le atraparon por querer cobrar el billete de lotería que había robado. Pero vamos con las palabras y expresiones más importantes. Décimo de lotería: Es la décima parte de un billete oficial de lotería, especialmente en el Sorteo de Navidad en España. Mi compañero de trabajo y yo compramos un décimo a medias todos los años. Encontré un décimo antiguo en un cajón, pero ya estaba caducado. Perpetrar: Cometer un delito o una acción ilegal, normalmente con cierta planificación. La policía detuvo a dos personas que habían perpetrado varios fraudes bancarios. El robo fue perpetrado de madrugada, cuando no había nadie en la tienda. Sustraer: Robar algo, especialmente de forma discreta o aprovechando un descuido. Es un verbo formal. Le sustrajeron la cartera en el metro sin que se diera cuenta. El vigilante descubrió que un cliente intentaba sustraer varios productos. Joyas: Objetos de valor hechos con metales preciosos o piedras preciosas, como collares, anillos o pulseras. Mi abuela me dejó algunas joyas antiguas como recuerdo. En el museo había una vitrina llena de joyas de distintas épocas. Azar: Fuerza o causa que hace que las cosas sucedan sin control o sin planificación; suerte. Ganamos el concurso por puro azar, no porque lo esperáramos. El orden de los participantes se decidió al azar. Estar sobre la pista: Tener indicios o información que ayudan a resolver un caso o descubrir algo. Los científicos están sobre la pista de una nueva especie de insecto. Creo que estoy sobre la pista del problema del ordenador: puede ser la batería. Administración de lotería: Establecimiento oficial donde se venden y se cobran billetes y décimos de lotería. Siempre compro mis números en la misma administración del barrio. La administración estaba llena porque acababan de repartir un premio. Botín: Conjunto de objetos robados durante un delito. Los ladrones huyeron con un botín de varios teléfonos móviles. El botín de la banda incluía dinero y aparatos electrónicos. Esposas: Instrumento metálico que se coloca en las muñecas para inmovilizar a una persona detenida. El sospechoso fue trasladado esposado a la comisaría. El policía sacó las esposas en cuanto el hombre se resistió a la detención. “Noticia curiosa, la mala suerte de un ladrón en Avilés.

Por eso recuerdan los agentes la importancia de que las víctimas de robos denuncien detalladamente los objetos sustraídos.” Recuerda, un objeto sustraído es un objeto robado. Y ahora te cuento la noticia cambiando el mayor número de palabras posibles. Se trata de una historia sorprendente que ha ocurrido en Avilés, en el norte de España. Es un caso que mezcla mala fortuna, un robo doméstico y un ladrón que no estuvo muy fino a la hora de planear su huida. Según la información policial, a mediados de diciembre un individuo entró en una vivienda y se llevó diversos objetos de valor: alhajas, relojes y también varios billetes del sorteo de Navidad, lo que en España conocemos como décimos. Hasta aquí, nada fuera de lo habitual en un robo. Pero la cosa se complicó para él cuando uno de esos billetes resultó ser agraciado con un pequeño premio. El ladrón, intentando no levantar sospechas, decidió que otra persona fuera en su lugar a reclamar el dinero. Lo que no sabía es que los agentes ya seguían el rastro del caso y tenían controlados los puntos donde se pueden cobrar los premios, es decir, las administraciones de lotería. Así que en cuanto esa persona se presentó allí para canjear el décimo, la policía consiguió identificarla y, a partir de ahí, llegar sin dificultad hasta el presunto autor del robo. Al final, lo que él pensaba que sería su mayor ganancia, terminó siendo la prueba clave que permitió a los investigadores detenerlo y ponerle los grilletes. Por eso, la Policía recuerda siempre la importancia de denunciar con detalle todos los objetos robados, incluidos documentos, tickets o billetes que, como en este caso, pueden convertirse en la pieza fundamental para resolver la investigación. La verdad es que cada vez es más difícil cometer un delito y que la policía no encuentre al responsable. El ADN, los teléfonos móviles y otras muchas cosas facilitan el trabajo de los agentes por suerte para todas las personas decentes. Venga, escuchamos la noticia por última vez. “Noticia curiosa, la mala suerte de un ladrón en Avilés. Le han detenido al intentar cobrar los décimos de lotería que había robado en una casa.

Por eso recuerdan los agentes la importancia de que las víctimas de robos denuncien detalladamente los objetos sustraídos.” Antes de terminar, me gustaría contarte cuáles son, según los datos internacionales más recientes, los países que hoy se consideran los más inseguros del mundo. Encabezan la lista Venezuela, Papúa Nueva Guinea y Haití, todos con índices cercanos o superiores a 80 puntos, lo que se considera una criminalidad muy alta. Estas cifras reflejan problemas profundos como inestabilidad política, economías muy frágiles, presencia de bandas armadas y dificultad para mantener sistemas policiales eficaces. Otras fuentes internacionales confirman que países como Afganistán, Sudáfrica, Honduras, Trinidad y Tobago, Siria, Jamaica y Perú también aparecen entre los más peligrosos debido a los altos niveles de violencia, conflictos armados o crimen organizado. Y como tenemos a una suscriptora que vive en Trinidad y Tobago, a lo mejor puede dejarnos un comentario para saber si es verdad lo que dicen las estadísticas. En resumen, aunque cada país tiene su propia realidad, los más inseguros suelen compartir algunos elementos en común: conflicto armado, crisis políticas prolongadas, desigualdad extrema, redes criminales muy activas y poca capacidad del Estado para garantizar la seguridad. Y dicho esto, contrasta mucho con el caso de España, de la que hablábamos al principio: un país donde la criminalidad se mantiene en niveles bajos y relativamente estables, y donde la mayoría de delitos no son violentos. Ahora, para terminar, repasamos las palabras y expresiones que hemos aprendido hoy. Décimo de lotería: Es la décima parte de un billete oficial de lotería, especialmente en el Sorteo de Navidad en España.

It is well-established that health issues that appear on a physical level are often related to or even caused by unaddressed emotions and/or energetic imbalances. This is also true for high-risk HPV, abnormal Pap smears, and cervical and vaginal cancer risk. As humans, when we experience symptoms — a headache, a skin rash, pain, or HPV and an abnormal Pap result — we tend to think of them as occurring only on a physical level. But research has demonstrated that these health issues are related to emotional and spiritual, or energetic, levels as well. When there is an imbalance, trauma, or unaddressed emotional or energetic issue, it can absolutely influence us physically. So, when something shows up as a symptom or diagnosis, it may be related to something happening emotionally or spiritually. I've been working with thousands of cases for over 25 years, so I've had a great deal of opportunity to observe these connections. When a patient comes to me with an abnormal Pap smear, autoimmunity, migraines, or a skin rash, I begin by looking at physical imbalances — hormones, nutrient deficiencies, microbiome issues for example. But I've learned that it doesn't stop there. We also need to consider what's happening emotionally and spiritually, which brings us to the influence of stress and trauma on the human experience. In this episode I'm going to discuss the mind, body, spirit connection to health, and how recovery from stress and trauma can help eliminate or reverse health issues on a physical, as well as emotional, and spiritual level. I'm here to help you!

What does a pap smear test for, and what happens after an abnormal pap smear? In this episode of SHE MD, Mary Alice Haney interviews Dr. Thaïs Aliabadi to break down exactly what a pap smear is, how HPV affects cervical cancer risk, and what women need to know about abnormal results. A pap smear is a cervical cancer screening test that checks for precancerous and cancerous cells on the cervix. A pap smear does not test for ovarian cancer, uterine conditions, or all sexually transmitted infections. HPV testing is often performed at the same time because high risk HPV is the leading cause of cervical cancer.Can you have HPV with a normal Pap smear? What actually happens after an abnormal result? Dr. A answers these questions and more, explaining that while most HPV infections clear on their own within one to two years, monitoring and follow-up are key. The bottom line: cervical cancer is highly preventable with routine Pap and HPV screening—but annual well-woman visits are still essential for protecting your long-term health.Subscribe to SHE MD Podcast for expert tips on PCOS, Endometriosis, fertility, and hormonal balance.

What if one of the most powerful tools for detoxification, brain health, hormone balance, and healthy aging was something you could grow in your kitchen? In this science-packed episode of The Girlfriend Doctor Podcast, Dr. Anna Cabeca sits down with renowned nutritional biochemist Dr. Jed W. Fahey — the pioneering researcher behind the discovery of the extraordinary chemoprotective power of broccoli sprouts. After 27 years at Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine, where he directed the Cullman Chemoprotection Center, Dr. Fahey explains why sulforaphane — derived from glucoraphanin found abundantly in broccoli sprouts — activates your body's own protective systems at the cellular level. Dr. Anna shares her personal clinical experiences using sulforaphane-rich compounds to support detoxification pathways, immune resilience, abnormal Pap smears, skin health, neurocognitive protection, and hormone balance — especially in midlife women. In this episode, you'll learn: What sulforaphane actually is (and why it matters) How it activates phase II detoxification pathways Why broccoli sprouts are more potent than mature broccoli Neuroprotective and brain benefits Research around skin and melanoma protection Dosage guidance for sprouts vs. supplements How to safely incorporate them into your daily routine This isn't about trendy superfoods. It's about turning on your body's built-in defense systems. Small daily choices. Powerful cellular protection.   Key Timestamps 00:01 – Welcome & why broccoli sprouts matter 03:14 – Broccoli sprouts vs. mature broccoli: what's the difference? 06:21 – What exactly is sulforaphane? 09:24 – Phase II detoxification explained simply 15:23 – Dr. Anna's powerful clinical case using sulforaphane 17:31 – Brain health & neurocognitive benefits 24:43 – How much should you take daily? 31:24 – Skin health & melanoma research 33:35 – Food vs. supplement: dosage considerations 42:13 – One big takeaway for healthy aging   Memorable Quotes "This isn't about complicated science.

In this episode of Talking Sleep, host Dr. Seema Khosla welcomes Dr. Mark Boulos, Dr. Khullar, and Dr. Mak for an in‑depth discussion on a topic that has challenged clinicians for decades: Are hypnotics safe for patients with untreated obstructive sleep apnea (OSA)? As new therapeutic options emerge and our understanding of comorbid insomnia and sleep apnea (COMISA) evolves, clinicians are increasingly confronted with nuanced decisions about when—and whether—to use hypnotic medications. The guests unpack the latest evidence and share insights from recent studies, including research evaluating dual orexin receptor antagonists (DORAs) such as lemborexant in individuals with sleep apnea. The conversation begins with a review of hypnotic medication classes and explores which agents may be safer in untreated OSA, and which still raise concerns. The panel discusses a recent lemborexant study, its design, population characteristics (including BMI and OSA severity considerations), and whether industry sponsorship played a role. They clarify that while the study did not focus specifically on COMISA, it sheds light on how DORAs perform in people with sleep apnea—particularly in terms of respiratory metrics. Returning from the break, the experts tackle the practical clinical dilemma of treatment sequencing in COMISA: Should clinicians begin with cognitive behavioral therapy for insomnia (CBT‑I), initiate PAP therapy, or consider medications first? They walk through what is known about how different hypnotic classes—including z‑drugs, GABAergic agents, trazodone, and DORAs—affect respiratory drive and sleep architecture. The discussion extends to special circumstances such as REM‑related OSA, where increased REM sleep induced by certain medications may have unique implications. The episode also considers broader emerging questions: Do DORAs improve apnea–hypopnea index (AHI) even without PAP? Can hypnotics be used strategically to improve sleep continuity without worsening respiratory parameters? And will future insomnia care rely on identifying phenotypes that respond differently to GABA‑based medications or wakefulness‑impairment targets? Throughout the conversation, the guests emphasize evidence-based takeaways, including the central finding that DORAs do not appear to worsen OSA‑related metrics, offering reassurance for clinicians navigating complex COMISA treatment plans. Whether you regularly see patients with comorbid insomnia and untreated sleep apnea or simply want clarity on the evolving role of hypnotics in this population, this episode offers practical, research-grounded guidance for clinical decisionmaking. Join us for this important discussion on how hypnotics can be used safely and thoughtfully in patients with untreated OSA.

Tratamos al Creador del Universo como si fuera un paraguas o un "genio de la lámpara", algo que solo buscamos cuando surge una necesidad o cuando hay un deseo insatisfecho. Pero Dios no quiere ser manipulado. Él simplemente quiere ser el Dios de nuestra vida.Necesitamos entender que la oración es una conversación con Dios, un momento en el que nos mostramos tal cual somos, sin máscaras, sin vergüenza y sin timidez. Cuando abrimos el corazón al Señor, tal como lo haríamos con un amigo, liberamos la ansiedad y nuestro corazón empieza a latir al mismo ritmo que el corazón de Dios. La oración tiene la capacidad de regular nuestros pensamientos, normalizar la presión y traer paz al alma. Como dice la canción: "Orar a Dios refresca el alma, hablar con Dios me da solaz".La oración también es un acto de fe. Es como "lanzarse al vacío"; incluso corremos el riesgo de escuchar el silencio de Dios. ¿Te ha pasado? ¿Oras y parece que tu oración no ha pasado del techo? Incluso cuando esto sucede, debemos estar seguros de que él nos cuida. Hasta el silencio de Dios es una respuesta y, por lo general, significa: "¡Sigue confiando! Yo tengo el control de tu vida".Recuerdo cuando mis hijos eran pequeños. Después de largos viajes con los Arautos do Rei, cuando regresaba a casa, Miguel y Rafael venían corriendo hacia mí agitando sus bracitos. Antes de que me acercara, ya querían saltar sobre mí. "¡Papá, levántame! ¡Quiero que me alces!" ¡Qué bonito era sentir esos abrazos! Y teníamos un acuerdo: Antes de entregar el regalito del viaje, siempre había un momento para conversar. Quería mostrarles que lo más importante no era el regalo, sino la presencia del padre.Dios es un Padre amoroso que desea relacionarse contigo. Está ansioso por escuchar tu voz. Él siempre te extraña. Quiere saber cómo ha sido tu día, cuáles son tus tristezas y también tus alegrías. ¿Por qué no hablas más con él? ¡Ábrele tu corazón a Dios! Él quiere ser tu mejor amigo. Él está ahí, a tu lado, esperando aunque sea el susurro de una oración.

Welcome to How Humans Heal. In this episode, I'm going to talk about blood sugar levels and how optimizing them can help you clear high-risk HPV virus to negative and get a normal Pap smear result. As you optimize your blood sugar, you're going to optimize your whole health because when we have optimal blood sugar, we have optimal immune function, optimal hormone levels, lower inflammation, and a healthier microbiome—both gut and vaginal. This means we can prevent cancer, diabetes, heart disease, and dementia while improving energy levels, sleep, focus, memory, and body weight. There are many benefits to optimizing blood sugar, which is why this one of the first things I teach patients. Why Monitor Your Blood Sugar Regularly Even if your blood sugar has been normal for much of your life, a change can happen—whether it's stress or perimenopause or post menopause. Learning what affects your blood sugar may be different for you than for others. Two different people can eat the same thing and have completely different blood sugar responses. This is an opportunity to know your body and track what's going on inside your system. I'm here to help you!

Le 8 février, plus de 50 millions de Thaïlandais sont appelés à voter à la fois pour renouveler leur Parlement et pour dire oui ou non à une révision de la Constitution de 2017, rédigée sous la junte militaire issue du coup d'État de 2014. Le référendum est jugé crucial par l'ONG de défense des droits civiques iLaw, qui a choisi une méthode de campagne originale : sensibiliser les électeurs à travers des événements autour de la course à pied, une activité en plein essor dans le royaume. De notre correspondant à Bangkok, « Pour une nouvelle Constitution, et pour faire avancer le pays — votez oui ! », scande la foule. « Allez, mettez-vous en place, le départ de la course va être donné ! », lance un organisateur de l'événement. Ils sont une cinquantaine, ce soir-là, à courir dans le célèbre parc Lumpini, en plein cœur de Bangkok. Pas un simple footing collectif : ces joggeurs, comme ce jeune homme à bout de souffle, participent à une opération de sensibilisation au référendum constitutionnel, organisé le même jour que les élections du 8 février. « Je suis là parce que je veux un nouvel avenir pour la Thaïlande », lâche ce jeune joggeur. « J'ai deux enfants : j'ai envie que ce pays soit stable pour leur avenir » Jan, 23 ans, porte un t-shirt appelant à voter « oui » au changement de Constitution : « Je soutiens cette campagne à 100 %, car l'actuelle Constitution de 2017 a été écrite par le régime militaire, et certains articles freinent la démocratie. » Coureur régulier, Pap espère lui aussi une réécriture de la Constitution pour les générations futures : « Il en faut une nouvelle pour plus de transparence et pour réduire, je l'espère, la corruption. J'ai deux enfants : j'ai envie que ce pays soit stable pour leur avenir. Je suis plutôt confiant, même ma mère m'a dit qu'elle voterait "oui" pour ses petits-enfants. » Depuis le début de l'année, des courses se déroulent chaque semaine dans les grands parcs de la capitale, mais aussi dans d'autres provinces, pour mobiliser les électeurs autour du scrutin. C'est l'ONG de défense des droits civiques iLaw, dont Jib fait partie, qui est à la manœuvre : « En ce moment, la génération Z et beaucoup de gens prennent soin de leur santé, il y a de nombreux clubs de course. On voulait en profiter pour sensibiliser au scrutin. La dernière fois, ça a vraiment dépassé nos attentes : on ne s'attendait pas à voir autant de monde. » Un référendum constitutionnel plus important que les élections Des élus de l'opposition, des personnalités publiques et des artistes ont rejoint le camp du « oui », lors de ces courses souvent prolongées par des débats ou des concerts. À Benjasiri, un autre parc de la capitale, John Winyu, présentateur d'une émission de satire politique suivie par plusieurs millions de personnes sur les réseaux sociaux, n'a pas couru, mais il est venu apporter son soutien : « Les gens veulent un nouvel espoir. Ils attendent de ces élections un gouvernement qu'ils auront choisi, et bien sûr, espèrent se débarrasser de cette Constitution. »  Après deux tours de parc, Yingcheep Atchanont, directeur de iLaw, rappelle à quel point le référendum constitutionnel est crucial : « Pour nous, ce référendum est plus important que les élections. Quel que soit le vainqueur, gouverner avec cette Constitution restera très compliqué, car elle a été pensée pour réprimer n'importe quel gouvernement élu qui entend mener des réformes structurelles. » Selon lui, un « non » maintiendrait la Thaïlande dans ce cycle d'instabilité politique pour des décennies encore.

====================================================SUSCRIBETEhttps://www.youtube.com/channel/UCNpffyr-7_zP1x1lS89ByaQ?sub_confirmation=1==================================================== DEVOCIÓN MATUTINA PARA MENORES 2026“HEROES Y VILLANOS”Narrado por: Tatania DanielaDesde: Juliaca, PerúUna cortesía de DR'Ministries y Canaan Seventh-Day Adventist Church30 DE ENEROHABLAR COMO HÉROE«Si hablo las lenguas de los hombres y aun de los ángeles, pero no tengo amor, no soy más que un metal que resuena o un platillo que hace ruido» (1 Corintios 13: 1).Una asombrosa capacidad del ser humano es la de comunicarse en diversas lenguas. Recuerdo hace algunos años cuando trabajé en Papúa Nueva Guinea y me tocó hacer equipo con una maestra que hablaba seis idiomas. En esa misma institución conocí a estudiantes que tenían fluidez en cuatro y hasta cinco idiomas.¿Te has preguntado quién es la persona en el mundo que más idiomas habla? Entre los políglotas, se reconoce a Ziad Fazah. Fazah es un libanés conocido por afirmar que habla más de 60 idiomas diferentes. Ha aparecido en programas de televisión y ha realizado demostraciones públicas de su habilidad para cambiar entre múltiples idiomas con facilidad.Otro políglota es Alexander Arguelles, lingüista estadounidense conocido por su amplio dominio de varios idiomas. Ha enseñado en univer-sidades y ha desarrollado métodos de aprendizaje de idiomas. Arguelles es conocido por su enfoque en la autodisciplina y el estudio intensivo para adquirir fluidez en múltiples idiomas. Ha sido una figura destacada en la comunidad políglota y ha compartido sus conocimientos a través de libros y conferencias.También está el cardenal Giuseppe Caspar Mezzofanti, un famoso políglota italiano que vivió en el siglo xix. Se destacó por su habilidad para aprender y dominar múltiples idiomas, llegando a hablar con fluidez al menos 38 de ellos. Mezzofanti fue conocido por su talento natural para los idiomas y por su capacidad para cambiar de uno a otro con facilidad. Fue un destacado erudito y lingüista, y su habilidad para dominar idiomas extranjeros lo convirtió en una figura legendaria en el campo de la lingüística.En este mundo globalizado y con la facilidad que otorgan las tecnologías de la información, aprender otro idioma se ha vuelto más fácil y necesario. Hablar otros idiomas permite leer material, visitar lugares y conocer a personas que quizás de otra manera no se habría podido. Es posible que ya nos hayamos propuesto hablar con fluidez y con amplio vocabulario alguna lengua extranjera, lo cual es muy recomendable.Pero hay un idioma que pocos hablan y que los héroes dominan: el idioma del amor. En 1 Corintios 13, el apóstol Pablo dijo que el amor «es ser bondadoso; es no tener envidia, ni ser presumido, ni orgulloso, ni grosero, ni egoísta; es no enojarse ni guardar rencor; es no alegrarse de las injusticias, sino de la verdad. Tener amor es sufrirlo todo, creerlo todo, esperarlo todo, soportarlo todo» (4-7). ¿No sería gustoso aprender este idioma? 

¿Sabías que el enemigo no puede robarle la promesa a una mujer que sabe esconderse en la presencia de su Papá? No permitas que el enemigo te desenfoque con procesos lógicos; lo que Dios dijo de ti tiene precisión quirúrgica y te va a encontrar dondequiera que estés. ¡Levántate, sacúdete y camina por la Palabra, porque tu tiempo de cumplimiento ha llegado!

In this episode of SleepTech Talk, we're joined by Aubrey Sawyer, President and Co-Founder, and Michelle Alencar, PhD, Chief Science Officer and Co-Founder of inHealth and CoachLinq, to discuss how developing better habits—especially in the new year—can transform sleep outcomes and improve adherence to PAP therapy.We dive into why PAP adherence is one of the biggest challenges in sleep medicine, and how coaching, behavior science, and data-driven approaches can help patients stick to therapy, maintain motivation, and achieve long-term success.Whether you're a sleep clinician, DME/HME professional, or someone personally using PAP therapy, this conversation offers practical insights into:Why patients struggle with PAP complianceHow habit formation impacts sleep and exerciseThe role of coaching in long-term adherenceUsing behavioral science to drive sustainable health outcomesHow sleep technology can support—not replace—human behavior change

Este episodio es la mezcla perfecta entre true crime de la naturaleza y todo lo que necesitabas saber de la selección natural. Hablaremos de canibalismo, que ocurre mucho más frecuentemente de lo que creerías y que, aunque parecería a primera vista que es mala estrategia evolutiva, puede ser todo lo contrario. Vamos a dar unos ejemplos muy locos y un poquito gores de algunas especies que se comen a sus hermanos, hijos o mamás, y hablaremos de un ejemplo de canibalismo en humanos que hizo que un montón de gente de una tribu en Papúa Nueva Guinea se enfermara del equivalente humano de la enfermedad de las vacas locas. En el pilón para Patreons hablaremos de que, por más que hoy se considere súper tabú, en el pasado probablemente la humanidad era mucho más caníbal de lo que pensábamos.
