Most parents know what goes into raising children: the time spent changing diapers in inopportune places; the hours of worrying—about what to feed them, how to educate them, how to protect them and keep them healthy; the countless hours devoted to dance classes, summer camps, pediatricians, and piano lessons—all investments meant to give them the best chance in life. Most of us would do anything to help our kids become the most successful and happiest versions of themselves. But what if we could start earlier? At the molecular level. What if we could ensure our babies were healthier, smarter, and stronger, before they even took their first breath? Right now, several biotech companies are doing just that. They offer embryo screening for couples undergoing in vitro fertilization (IVF). These companies don't just score embryos for disease risk, which has become standard practice for anyone undergoing IVF—they go further. Nucleus Genomics promises “optimization” of traits like heart health and cancer resistance, as well as intelligence, longevity, body mass index, baldness, eye color, hair color, etc. It even suggests it may predict a predisposition to become an alcoholic. In the future, we may be able to more than just screen and select. We'll be able to make tweaks to our own embryos in order to “optimize” them. This isn't something out of Aldous Huxley's Brave New World. It's the very real, and near, future. Some would argue it's already here. It all creates profound and critical questions. So we hosted a debate: Is it ethical to design our unborn children? And are we morally obligated to do so when the risks of abstaining include serious diseases? Or does designing babies cross a line? Is it wrong to play God and manipulate humanity's genetic heritage? Arguing that designing babies is not only an ethical choice, but indeed a moral imperative, are Jamie Metzl and Dr. Allyson Berent. Jamie is a technology and healthcare futurist, who was a member of the World Health Organization Expert Advisory Committee on Human Genome Editing. He's also written several best-selling books on this subject, including Hacking Darwin: Genetic Engineering and the Future of Humanity. Allyson is a veterinarian who has become an incredible force for genetic research since her daughter, Quincy, was diagnosed with Angelman syndrome. She serves as chief science officer of the Foundation for Angelman Syndrome Therapeutics and chief development officer at a biotechnology company, where she helps accelerate gene therapy programs for Angelman syndrome. Arguing that designing babies is unethical are O. Carter Snead and Dr. Lydia Dugdale. Carter is a bioethicist and law professor at Notre Dame. He served as general counsel to the President's Council on Bioethics under George W. Bush and as an appointed member of UNESCO's International Bioethics Committee. He is also an appointed member of the Pontifical Academy for Life, which advises the pope on bioethics. Lydia is a physician, medical ethicist, and professor of medicine at Columbia University, where she serves as director of the Center for Clinical Medical Ethics. She is also Co-Director of Clinical Ethics at NewYork-Presbyterian Hospital/Columbia University Irving Medical Center. It's a critical debate you won't want to miss.  The Free Press is honored to have partnered with the Foundation for Individual Rights and Expression to present this debate.

Litomyšl je město, které musí vidět každý aspoň jednou za život. Předivo jeho architektonické kvality není jen zdivo s psaníčkovými sgrafity renesančního zámku zapsaného na seznamu UNESCO, ale dlouhodobý vývoj od začátku devadesátých let, kdy se jako první z menších měst začalo aktivně podílet na kvalitě nových staveb, čemuž přispělo zavedení nové funkce městské architektky.

First, we talk to The Indian Express' Sweety Kumari about the protests happening in Kolkata. The protests are being led by Booth Level Officers or BLOs who are involved in the process of the Special Intensive Revision and their concern is that the work given to them is too stressful and the deadlines are unrealistic. Next, we talk to The Indian Express' Jayprakash S. Naidu about an archeological site in Chhattisgarh's Sirpur, known for its multi-religious culture. The ASI inspected the site and is planning to develop it further so that it can be nominated for the UNESCO World Heritage status. (12:29)Lastly, we talk about a controversial order that asked schools in Rajasthan to celebrate Shaurya Diwas on the 6th of December which is the anniversary of the demolition of the Babri Masjid.

Vídeňské klobásové stánky nejsou jen rychlé občerstvení, ale pro mnoho místních také součást identity města. Historie tohoto občerstvení sahá do doby Rakouska-Uherska, uživili se díky němu například invalidní veteráni první světové války. Klobásový stánek je dodnes podle Vídeňanů místo, kde mizí sociální rozdíly a kde se vedle sebe už více než sto let můžou najíst profesor i popelář. Fenomén této kultury se dokonce loni dostal na seznam kulturního dědictví UNESCO.

Today, we get to learn from Matthew Paneitz, founder and executive director of Long Way Home. This organization built Hero School, a student-built and community-built campus in San Juan Comalapa, Guatemala.Built from recycled tires and trash, the campus took 16 years to build and serves 178 students enrolled in PreK through High School. The school campus is almost complete.Matthew is also the recipient of the 2020 Sargent Shriver Award for Distinguished Humanitarian Service for his work in Guatemala. This award, presented annually by the National Peace Corps Association, honors Peace Corps volunteers who continue to contribute to humanitarian causes.Long before this award and the existence of Hero School, Matthew had an idea.An idea that needed funding, direction, and partners.How did Matthew obtain funding when he started this project?How did he develop a strategy sustaining him and the school he built with the residents of Comalapa?What is the school's curriculum, and how does it change the conversation around poverty?Let's find out. LINKSLong Way Home  - Turn Trash Into SchoolsLong Way Home Sustainability Projects (https://www.lwhomegreen.org)Help School Fight Climate Change with Green Building (Global Giving) - Giving Tuesday is December 2, 2025Watch timelapse video of recent classroom construction (Fall 2025)2020 Sargent Shriver Award for Distinguished Humanitarian ServiceEcoHab.orgLong Way Home on YouTubeLong Way Home on FacebookLong Way Home on InstagramLong Way Home on LinkedIn _______________CREDITS:Producer: Tania MarienMusic: So Far So Close by Jahzzar is licensed under a Attribution-ShareAlike License;SOLO ACOUSTIC GUITAR by Jason Shaw is licensed under a Attribution 3.0 United States License.Subscribe to Transferable Solutions, a newsletter about reimagining environmental skillsContact Us© 2019 - 2025 Talaterra Inc ABOUT:TALATERRA combines "tala" (Icelandic for "to speak" and "to talk") with "terra" (Earth)—because speaking for our planet and telling its stories is what environmental educators do.TALATERRA: to speak Earth. * TALATERRA is an affiliate of Bookshop.org.

Banca Națională a Kazahstanului (NBK) ar trebui să mențină o politică monetară strictă până când inflația se apropie de ținta oficială, a indicat Fondul Monetar Internațional (FMI) în urma consultării sale cu Astana din 2025, relatează site-ul de știri trend.az. FMI subliniază că menținerea unei politici monetare stricte și consolidarea managementului lichidității rămân esențiale în contextul inflației persistente. Fondul a salutat creșterea recentă a ratei dobânzii și introducerea treptată a unor rezerve minime obligatorii mai mari, menite să absoarbă excesul de lichiditate din sistemul bancar. Instituția recomandă, de asemenea, luarea în considerare a utilizării unor instrumente suplimentare, inclusiv emiterea coordonată de titluri pe termen scurt de către NBK și bonuri de trezorerie de către Ministerul Finanțelor. Datele de la Banca Națională arată că inflația anuală a încetinit ușor în octombrie, de la 12,9% în septembrie la 12,6%, rămânând în același timp mult peste ținta oficială. În timpul unei sesiuni a Senatului, vice prim-ministrul și ministrul Economiei Naționale, Serik Zhumangarin, a indicat că guvernul prognozează o inflație de 9 până la 11% în 2026, urmată de o scădere așteptată până la între 5,5% și 7,5% în 2027, iar apoi de 5 până la 7% până în 2028.  În octombrie 2025, Banca Națională și-a majorat rata dobânzii cheie de la 16,5% la 18%, după ce inflația s-a accelerat în septembrie dincolo de așteptările NKB.

Forget the usual holiday cheer and dive into the chilling world of Christmas folklore with the terrifying Karakoncolos (also known as Kallikantzaros).These malevolent, shapeshifting, hairy winter goblins emerge exclusively during the Twelve Dark Days, the treacherous period between Christmas (December 25th) and Epiphany (January 6th), to wreak havoc across the Balkans. We uncover the sinister origins of this enduring European myth, tracing it back to the drunken, masked chaos of the ancient Dionysian festivals in Greece, and reveal their terrifying cosmic purpose: spending all year sawing down the World Tree!Join us as we explore the chilling regional differences:Greek Myth: Why do the Kallikantzaros try to force travelers to dance to death?Turkish Folklore: Learn the deadly verbal trickery of the Karakoncolos, which requires you to always use the word "kara" (black) or risk instant death.Bulgarian Tradition: How the Karakondžul's influence gave rise to the massive, UNESCO-recognized Kukeri festivals.We detail the bizarre protective rituals, from burning stinky shoes and scattering salt to the crucial act of counting holes in a sieve, used to keep these holiday horror creatures out of your home. This is the ultimate deep-dive into the ancient European folklore and Christmas monsters you need for the winter season.Contact:⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠email⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠website⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Special thanks to:The Christmas Song/Heaven/Slow 3/4 Song by Peter Evans, Tom Blancarte, and Brandon Seabrook - ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠CC by 3.0⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Santa Claws is Coming by Ergo Phizmiz - ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠CC by 3.0⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠holiday by Dee Yan-Key - ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠CC by 3.0⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠

La marcha Z ocurrida en la Ciudad de México y en varios estados el sábado pasado ha abierto un amplio debate en México. Desde el lado del gobierno se acusa a la oposición, a empresarios y a personajes de extrema derecha de estar detrás de la manifestación que terminó con incidentes de violencia en el Zócalo, heridos, detenidos, policías suspendidos y ciudadanos consignados por tentativa de homicidio, mientras del lado de la oposición se señala al gobierno de reprimir a los jóvenes y de organizar a grupos de choque para violentar y con ello desacreditar la marcha que fue convocada desde las redes sociales y sin liderazgos aparentes. En este episodio, Mariel Ibarra, editora política en Expansión, platica con Esmeralda Correa, doctora en ciencias sociales, profesora e investigadora de la Universidad de Guadalajara y coordinadora de la cátedra UNESCO de la Juventud y Andrés Sumano, doctor en políticas públicas y profesor del Colegio de la Frontera Norte sobre lo que significó esta marcha y las exigencias de la generación Z.

Just in time for the holiday season, I review the five ways to get fizz in a wine (on purpose) -- and the wines that result. I discuss regions and styles of different wines in each of the three major categories: Ancestral Method/Pétillant Naturel, Méthode Champenoise/ Metodo Classico, and the Martinotti/Charmat/Tank Method.    From Col Fondo to Method Cap Classique to German Sekt, I offer you new possibilities and sparkling wine types you may not know or think of off the top of your head, but which are all great in their own right and many which are ridiculously affordable (and yes, it's way more than just Prosecco and Cava!).      Photo: The "Underground Cathedrals" in Canelli, a UNESCO site Source: Alta Langa DOCG     Full show notes and all back episodes are on Patreon. Become a member today! www.patreon.com/winefornormalpeople _______________________________________________________________   Check out my exclusive sponsor, Wine Access.  They have an amazing selection -- once you get hooked on their wines, they will be your go-to!

This episode of 'The New Abnormal' podcast features Loes Damhof - UNESCO Chair in Futures Studies, award-winning pioneer in higher education, and TEDx speaker. As UNESCO Chair Futures Literacy in Higher Education, she designs, facilitates and researches learning spaces that are potentially transformative, where participants explore multiple futures to see the present anew. She uses the Futures Literacy Framework as developed by Riel Miller and applies/ modifies it for the larger public, where an 'openness to emergence' is her main drive and challenge, believing that is where new ways of being, thinking and acting can be explored.So, I hope you enjoy listening to her as much as I did, as she discusses how to see the cracks in our thinking and stories, the need to imagine more futures, identify our assumptions, and enhance our perceptions regarding futures work and the discipline of anticipation...

Em celebração ao Dia Mundial da Filosofia, instituído pela UNESCO em 2005, a Organização Internacional Nova Acrópole promove, em 2025, uma semana especial com o tema: "A busca da unidade para além das diferenças". Neste episódio, o professor Emerson Queiroz, da unidade Graça, em Salvador (BA), conversa com Danilo Gomes sobre os desafios e os caminhos para a construção de uma verdadeira unidade entre os seres humanos. Ao longo do diálogo, os professores refletem sobre a importância da ética como ponte entre o indivíduo e a coletividade, destacando a necessidade de coerência interna como fundamento para a convivência harmônica. Inspirando-se em grandes tradições filosóficas — de Platão à Bhagavad Gita —, abordam a virtude não como um conceito teórico, mas como uma prática cotidiana que começa no âmbito pessoal e se expande para a vida em sociedade. A conversa também enfatiza o papel da história e da cultura como heranças comuns da humanidade, capazes de nos lembrar que todos buscamos sentido e crescimento, apesar das diferenças. A unidade, portanto, não se impõe, mas nasce do esforço voluntário de cada um em tornar-se melhor, mais consciente e comprometido com o bem comum. Este episódio convida a uma reflexão profunda sobre sua responsabilidade no mundo, incentivando pequenas ações cotidianas que expressem a ordem, a bondade e o respeito, como caminhos reais para transformar a convivência social e fortalecer os laços humanos. Participantes: Emerson Queiroz e Danilo Gomes Trilha Sonora: Sinfonia nº 91 – Largo Allegro, de Joseph Haydn

La novena edición del Festival de las Flores convirtió a la ciudad histórica de Antigua Guatemala en un jardín monumental, con instalaciones florales de hasta 10 metros que atrajeron a cerca de un millón de visitantes ansiosos por contemplar color, aroma y arte efímero. Un reportaje de Diana Fuentes, corresponsal de RFI en Guatemala. En Antigua Guatemala, Patrimonio Cultural de la UNESCO situado en el departamento de Sacatepéquez, las creaciones florales que adornaban estructuras de metal, madera y bambú alcanzaron alturas impresionantes de entre 3 y 10 metros, envolviendo cada rincón de la ciudad colonial en un arte efímero. "Ahorita ya estamos a punto de culminar nuestra novena edición; vamos rumbo a 10 años de este festival", dice a RFI Andrea Contreras, fundadora del Festival de las Flores. Además de convertirse en un jardín, este año el Festival tiene como objetivo resaltar la creación artística. "El Festival está dedicado a todos los artistas que han roto el molde. En esta ocasión es la fiesta de los artistas. Quisimos poner la mirada en el talento de nuestros artistas locales, entre ellos escritores, bailarines y pintores, no solo los locales, sino también los internacionales", explica Contreras. Importante fuente de ingresos "Es la única temporada del año en que se ve florecer a Antigua. El ambiente es muy alegre", dice uno de los visitantes. El Festival convoca anualmente a casi un millón de turistas, lo que satura hoteles, restaurantes y calles, pero también genera importantes ganancias para el país. "Yo he venido todos los años desde el primer Festival de las Flores. Antigua Guatemala es mágica: se pone uno feliz y ya no quiere irse. Pero hay una cierta hora del día, aquí en la Calle del Arco, en que ya no se puede ni siquiera pasar", comenta una mujer. Por eso, una visitante que ha acudido varias veces recomienda "venir tempranito para poder disfrutar más las cosas, mirar todo con calma y pasear un poco más por todas las áreas". Van Gogh y la Mona Lisa, fuentes de inspiración En cuanto a las fuentes de inspiración, la florista Catherine Morales, creadora de una de las obras de arte que participa en el concurso del Festival, cuenta: "Nos inspiramos en Van Gogh, la Mona Lisa y las pinturas más famosas del mundo. Empezamos a trabajar desde hace una semana. Aquí traemos el vinilo y las pinturas. Hay que prepararlo todo para luego venir a armarlo aquí. Así es más fácil. Armarlo toma aproximadamente una semana, aunque la idea viene ya de algunos meses". Otro eje de esta novena edición es la protección de la naturaleza. Por eso, Andrea Contreras resalta: "Ahorita estamos apuntando a mucho más con un festival más verde. Desde el año pasado estamos recolectando todas las flores que se utilizan en el Festival para llevarlas luego al compostaje. De esta manera volvemos a retribuir a la tierra". Coincidiendo con el inicio del equinoccio, Guatemala lo celebra con flores y arte que reafirman la belleza y el estilo inigualable de Antigua.

Die 26ste Kreatiewe Jaarlikse Simposium het afgesluit en was 'n belangrike stap om die kreatiewe ekonomie as 'n dryfveer van inklusiewe en volhoubare groei te benut. Besprekings het die behoefte beklemtoon om data-gapings in bewysgebaseerde beleid te sluit, toegang tot finansiering te versterk, kreatiewe vaardighede in onderwys te integreer en die sektor te formaliseer om sy volle potensiaal te ontsluit. Tydens die simposium het Avril Joffe van Unesco die belangrikheid van die industrie uiteen gele.

Last year, 37,000 stolen cultural objects – including artifacts, artworks, coins, and instruments – were seized by international police agency, Interpol, and law enforcement.The illicit trade in cultural property is one of the world's oldest and most profitable forms of criminal activity – and it is increasingly being facilitated online. UN News's Cristina Silveiro has been speaking to Krista Pikkat, Director for Culture and emergencies for UN agency UNESCO, about the fight against illicit trafficking in stolen heritage worldwide.

2. decembrī svinama jaunlatviešu kustības viena no aizsācējiem, Ainažu jūrskolas dibinātāja, latviešu ekonomista, publicista un politiķa Krišjāņa Valdemāra 200. dzimšanas diena. Jāatzīstas, ka līdzās tam Krišjānim Valdemāram, kuru plakātiski zina itin visi - Ainažu jūrskolas dibinātājs, “Pēterburgas Avīžu” redaktors - viņa dzīvesstāstā ir izvēles, kuras saprast ir grūti, neiedziļinoties 19. gadsimta vēstures kontekstā. Ar vēsturniekiem Vitu Zelču un Gintu Apalu pārrunājam Krišjāņa Valdemāra dzīvesstāsta grūtāk saprotamos brīžus 19. gadsimta vēstures kontekstā. Viens no šī raidījuma mērķiem, ir vēlreiz izstāstīt Krišjāņa Valdemāra dzīvesstāstu. Tātad – dzimis viņš ir dzimis Ārlavas Vecjunkuru mājās 1825. gada 2. decembrī. Viņa tēvs Mārtiņš Valdemārs ir Vecjunkuru iegātnis, māte – Marija ir saimniekmeita. Krišjānim Valdemāram, viņa māsai, vēlāk – rakstniecei Marijai Medinskai,  brālim Indriķim, vēlāk – arhivāram un vēsturniekam, bija labas izredzes mantot saimniecību. Taču 1835. gadā, kad Krišjānim Valdemāram ir 10 gadi, viņa tēvs cieš neveiksmi saimniekošanā, ģimene spiesta mājas atstāt un pārcelties uz Sasmaku, tagadējo Valdemārpili. Valdemārpilī nokļuvis, Krišjānis Valdemārs tur uzsāk arī savas skolas gaitas, ko turpina Pūņu muižas skolā, Lubezeres draudzes skolā. Tad jau viņš ir gatavs pieņemt mājskolotāja vietu, uzdien par rakstveža palīgu Rundālē un rakstvedi Lielbērstelē. Pieminēto pirmo lauku inteliģences pulciņu “Baltijas jūras izsmelšanas biedrība” , Valdemārs nodibina strādādams par rakstvedi Ēdolē. Un ir ļoti grūti uzminēt, kāda ir bijusi ģenerālgubernatora Suvorova motivācija, apmaksājot Valdemāram mācības Liepājas Augstākajā apriņķa skolā, kas vēlāk pavēra ceļu uz universitāti. 1859. gadā, Krišjānis Valdemārs pārceļas uz Pēterburgu. Kopš 1862. gada, sākotnēji cenzē, tad kopā ar Juri Alunānu un Krišjāni Baronu rediģē "Pēterburgas Avīzes". Cita starpā iestājas pret kārkluvācietību. Kas jau Maskavas posmā, ap 1867. gadu, kad Krišjānis Valdemārs kļūst par laikraksta "Московские ведомости" līdzstrādnieku, pāraug asā nostājā pret vācu muižniecību. Pēterburgas periodā Krišjānis Valdemārs ir ierēdnis Finanšu ministrijā, 1860. - 1861. gadā lielkņaza Konstantīna uzdevumā apceļo Baltijas jūras piekrasti, iesniedz Krievijas valdībai priekšlikumus par kuģniecības attīstīšanu Baltijas jūrā. 1864. gadā ar tiešu Valdemāra līdzdalību tika izveidota Ainažu jūrskola. Vēl viens veids kā Krišjānis Valdemārs vēlējās palīdzēt nabadzīgākajiem latviešiem tikt pie turības – viņš iepirka lielākas zemju platības Novgorodas guberņā, piedāvājot latviešiem tās apsaimniekošanai. Novgorodas zemju plāns izgāžas. Atmiņās Jānim Kreicbergam Valdemārs stāstījis, ka  izputējušie latviešu zemnieki pat piketējuši Ziemas pils laukumā, kas vedis pie viņa aresta un nopratināšanas. Par Novgorodas zemju neveiksmes ķīlnieku kļūst ne tikai pats Krišjānis Valdemārs, kurš zaudē savu un arī sievas Luīzes pūra naudu. Daudz tiešākā veidā zemnieku neapmierinātībai pretim stāties nākas viņa jaunākajai māsai Marijai. Marija, pirmās laulības uzvārdā Naumane, pārdod īpašumu Sasmakā, un 1865. gadā kopā ar māti pārceļas uz Krišjāņa Valdemāra ierīkoto latviešu koloniju Novgorodas guberņā. Viņai nākas vienai gan pārdzīvot mātes nāvi tūlīt pēc pārcelšanās, gandrīz 17 gadus viņa viena pārvalda Krišjāņa Valdemāra muižu Krievijā. -- Krišjāņa Valdemāra jubileja šogad kā Latvijas nominācija tiek daudzināta UNESCO svinamo gadadienu kalendārā, nesot viņa slavu ārpus Latvijas robežām. Decembra sākumā durvis vērs Valdemāra personībai veltīta plaša izstāde Rīgas Vēstures un kuģniecības muzejā.

Le vol récent spectaculaire des bijoux du Louvre, nous rappelle combien notre patrimoine est fragile. Des trésors inestimables disparaissent dans l'ombre des marchés illicites, et derrière chaque objet volé se cache l'histoire et l'identité d'une communauté.« Le trafic illicite de biens culturels est un phénomène mondial. Il porte atteinte aux droits culturels, à l'identité et à la mémoire des communautés d'origine », alerte Krista Pikkat, directrice de la culture et des situations d'urgence à l'UNESCO, dans cet entretien accordé à ONU Info à l'occasion de la Journée internationale contre le trafic illicite des biens culturels.Ce phénomène n'est pas seulement culturel : il s'agit aussi d'une question de sécurité, reconnue à l'agenda du Conseil de sécurité de l'ONU, car le trafic est souvent lié au crime organisé – y compris le trafic de drogue, d'armes et la traite des êtres humains –particulièrement des zones de conflit et de crise.Face à ce fléau, l'UNESCO innove. Son nouveau musée virtuel des œuvres volées, conçu comme par l'achitecte burkinabè Kéré comme un baobab – arbre africain symbole de racines et de rassemblement – permet de rendre visibles ces objets disparus et d'en raconter les histoires.« Nous espérons qu'un jour ce musée sera vide », ajoute Pikkat, imaginant le retour de chaque œuvre à sa communauté d'origine.Entrez dans cet espace virtuel avec Krista Pikkat et découvrez comment la lutte contre le vol culturel est autant une question de justice que de mémoire, là où chaque objet retrouvé est une page d'histoire rendue à ceux qui l'ont créée.(Entretien : Krista Pikkat, directrice de la culture et des situations d'urgence à l'UNESCO ; propos recueillis par Cristina Silveiro)

Comenzaremos el programa de hoy discutiendo la actualidad. La primera noticia trata sobre la conferencia COP30, que se está celebrando en Brasil. La segunda noticia es sobre la advertencia de la presidenta electa de la American Society of International Law, de que las guerras de Ucrania y Gaza, y las amenazas de Donald Trump, ponen en peligro de "colapso total" al sistema judicial internacional. El segmento de ciencia lo dedicaremos a los estándares globales sobre la ética de la neurotecnología que adoptó la UNESCO la semana pasada. Y concluiremos la primera parte del programa con la petición de Paul McCartney a la conferencia COP30 de que adopten un menú vegetariano. En la segunda parte del programa la dedicaremos a la lengua y la cultura españolas. La primera conversación incluirá ejemplos del tema de gramática de la semana, el verbo Saber. En esta conversación hablaremos de moda, y concretamente, de la moda de los de la generación Z. Esta generación tiene su estilo propio: les gusta la moda unixex, la ropa de segunda mano y mezclar estilos. ¡La generación Z sabe mucho de identidad y de cómo diferenciarse de los demás! Y, en nuestra última conversación, aprenderemos a usar una nueva expresión española, De tomo y lomo. La usaremos para hablar del legado de Santiago Ramón y Cajal, un neurocientífico español ganador del premio Nobel de medicina en 1906. Este legado es un fondo documental de gran valor, y de carácter único. De momento no existe un museo permanente de este legado, pero está en construcción. La conferencia del clima COP30 pasa por dificultades mientras los países más contaminantes se ausentan Una académica hace un llamamiento para formar una coalición de países en defensa del orden internacional La UNESCO quiere regular la ética de la neurotecnología Paul McCartney urge a la conferencia COP30 a adoptar un menú vegetariano Diseños y diseñadores que gustan a la generación Z Santiago Ramón y Cajal, premio nobel de Medicina 1906

Wir beginnen das heutige Programm mit einer Diskussion über aktuelle Ereignisse. Als Erstes sprechen wir über die COP30-Klimakonferenz, die derzeit in Brasilien stattfindet. Danach diskutieren wir über die Warnung einer renommierten Völkerrechtswissenschaftlerin, dass die Kriege in der Ukraine und im Gazastreifen sowie die Drohungen von Donald Trump einen „totalen Kollaps" der globalen Rechtsordnung auslösen könnten. Unser Wissenschaftsthema ist den globalen Leitlinien zur Ethik der Neurotechnologie gewidmet, die letzte Woche von der UNESCO verabschiedet wurden. Und wir beenden den ersten Teil des Programms mit Paul McCartneys Appell an die COP30-Konferenz, vegetarisches Essen zu servieren. Michael: Der Rest des Programms ist der deutschen Sprache und Kultur gewidmet. Die heutige Grammatiklektion konzentriert sich auf den Overview of Flavoring Particles (Modalpartikel). Es geht um veganen Eierlikör mit dem Namen „Likör ohne Ei". Der Hersteller wurde wegen dieser Bezeichnung verklagt. Er bekam am Ende aber Recht, da der Name nicht irreführend ist. Viele der heutigen Weihnachtsbräuche gehen auf deutsche Traditionen zurück. Wäre Weihnachten ohne Weihnachtsbaum überhaupt denkbar? Wir wissen diese deutschen Bräuche zu schätzen, und genau das ist auch unsere Redewendung diese Woche: Etwas zu schätzen wissen. COP30-Klimakonferenz ohne Hauptverursacher der Klimakrise Rechtswissenschaftlerin ruft Länder zur Verteidigung der internationalen Rechtsordnung auf Die UNESCO will die Ethik von Neurotechnologien regulieren Paul McCartney appelliert an die COP30-Konferenz, vegetarisches Essen zu servieren Ärger um Eierlikör ohne Ei Deutsche Weihnachtstraditionen

The United Nations is once again attacking homeschoolers in an attempt to control the education of youth to embrace collectivism, climate hysteria, social-emotional learning, and globalism, explains Alex Newman for The New American’s Behind The Deep State.  A new UNESCO report, prepared under the supervision of a literal North Korean totalitarian, explains that homeschooling, if not ... The post UN Targets Homeschoolers Through “Human Rights” Scheme  appeared first on The New American.

Today we're talking about your God-given right to raise, educate, and disciple your children without government interference. New Jersey is pushing two bills—A5825 and A5796—that would tighten control over homeschoolers, while UNESCO and the UN advance “global citizenship” and standardized education worldwide.My friend Mike Farris—founder of HSLDA and a longtime defender of homeschool freedom—joins me to explain what these proposals actually do, why “curriculum alignment” is so dangerous, how treaties like the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child come into play, and why what happens in New Jersey won't stay there.If you homeschool—or just care about parental rights and liberty—this episode is your call to stay informed, stay engaged, and stay off the bench.Prime Sponsor: No matter where you live, visit the Functional Medical Institute online today to connect with Drs Mark and Michele Sherwood.

This is Unesco's International Year of Quantum Science and Technology, marking a century and more since this fascinating branch of physics came to transform our understanding of the world. Not only that, for people of faith quantum science has arguably transformed our understanding of the nature of God and the nature of humanity. Rosa Hunt investigates the strange, and sometimes downright weird world of quantum uncertainty, dead-and-alive cats, and the possibility of multiverses.Her guests include Professor David Wilkinson, Dr Emily Qureshi-Hurst, Dr Nick Spencer and Father Lee Taylor.

2025-11-07 | Silicon Wafers 050 | Is Sergei Lavrov on the way out? After that embarrassment of the non-summit in Budapest, and the cold treatment of Kirill Dmitriev in Washington, it looks like Lavrov is falling out of favour with the Kremlin. But will he also be falling out with those square shaped and glazed objects, designed to let light into tall buildings? Budapest blows up, G20 gets awkward – it looks like Lavrov's star is waning. How we will miss his disingenuous horse-face. Not. Plans for the Budapest were a bust. Washington bailed on the Trump–Putin summit after a hardline Russian approach to the negotiations. The inflexibility of the Kremlin and its main foreign policy minion Lavrov went down badly with Secretary of State Rubio. Now it seems Lavrov is taking the blame, or so it seems from Moscow's rumour mill, as the Kremlin quietly swaps him out for the upcoming G20 summit. There are few confirmed facts but let that not stop us from diving into the fevered world of Kremlinology. It might also help to have a jocular reminder of happens to officials who fall from Putin's grace — from soft landings to prison cells, to altitude cancer and very hard landings.----------SOURCES: “The U.S. then cancelled the summit following a call between Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov and U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio.” — Reuters, Oct 31, 2025“radically changed under European influence” — The Moscow Times, Oct 27, 2025“will be led by Presidential Administration Deputy Chief of Staff Maxim Oreshkin.” — TASS, Nov 4, 2025“has ordered government officials to evaluate the feasibility of restarting Russia's own nuclear tests.” — AP News, Nov 5, 2025“was demoted but remains an advisor in the Kremlin.” — RAND, Jun 27, 2024“removed Sergei Surovikin… as head of the air force” — Reuters, Aug 23, 2023“sentenced to eight years in jail” — Reuters, Dec 15, 2017 (Ulyukayev)----------SILICON CURTAIN FILM FUNDRAISERA project to make a documentary film in Ukraine, to raise awareness of Ukraine's struggle and in supporting a team running aid convoys to Ukraine's front-line towns.https://buymeacoffee.com/siliconcurtain/extras----------SILICON CURTAIN LIVE EVENTS - FUNDRAISER CAMPAIGN Events in 2025 - Advocacy for a Ukrainian victory with Silicon Curtainhttps://buymeacoffee.com/siliconcurtain/extrasOur events of the first half of the year in Lviv, Kyiv and Odesa were a huge success.
