Podcasts about V2

El cohete V2, nombre técnico A4 (Aggregat 4), fue un misil balístico desarrollado a principios de la Segunda Guerra Mundial en Alemania, dirigido específicamente hacia Bélgica y lugares del sudeste de Inglaterra. Este cohete fue el primer misil balístico de combate de largo alcance del mundo y el primer artefacto humano conocido que hizo un vuelo sub orbital. Fue el progenitor de todos los cohetes modernos, incluyendo los utilizados por los programas espaciales de Estados Unidos y de la Unión Soviética, que tuvieron acceso a los científicos y diseños alemanes a través de la Operación Paperclip y la Operación Osoaviakhim respectivamente. La Wehrmacht alemana lanzó en torno a 3.000 cohetes militares V2 contra objetivos Aliados durante la guerra, principalmente Londres y posteriormente Amberes, dando por resultado la muerte de un número estimado de 7.250 personas, tanto civiles como militares. El arma fue presentada por la propaganda Nazi como una venganza por los bombardeos sobre las ciudades alemanas desde 1942 hasta el final de la guerra. Diseñados por Wernher von Braun, muchos de estos misiles fueron disparados desde las costas francesas hacia Londres con el fin de provocar la mayor devastación posible, así como minar la moral del enemigo. Sucesor de la V1 (que era un misil de crucero), este diseño no vio la luz hasta muy avanzada la guerra, por lo que tuvo poco impacto real en esta. El V2 fue uno de los avances más relevantes en tecnología armamentística logrados hasta ese momento. Sin embargo, no pudo cambiar el curso de la guerra, que ya había tomado, en 1944, un giro decisivo hacia la victoria aliada.

Text your thoughts and questions!The end of the year brings a very unique kind of pressure. We're closing out projects, preparing for new ones, finalizing finances, coordinating schedules, attending events, and trying to wrap up the year in ways that feel meaningful and productive. And all of that's on top of our already busy schedules and the added layer of the holidays. As if that isn't already a recipe for burnout, for those in the northern hemisphere, this happens in a season when our energy naturally dips. So how do we survive (and hopefully thrive) during this time of year? This week, episode 292 of the Positively LivingⓇ Podcast is about finishing your year burnout-free!In this episode of the Positively LivingⓇ Podcast, I cut through the “hustle culture” myth and teach you how to honor your seasonal energy by slowing down and speeding up strategically to ensure you finish the year feeling grounded, not drained. I cover the following topics:The productivity paradox: working longer hours quickly leads to burnout, not increased results. Strategic and seasonal approaches to slow down, without stopping, and honor your capacity.A two-part strategy to finish the year burnout-free: reducing capacity and applying intentional sprinting for essential tasks. Remember: your worth is not measured by the number of commitments you complete before December 31st. Don't collapse at the finish line. Instead, choose a grounded, gentle finish that allows you to start the new year rested and ready.Thank you for listening!

Text your thoughts and questions!Are you constantly working faster, yet still feeling behind and burned out? Many of us get trapped in this unsustainable hustle culture cycle because we assume that productivity means doing more, faster. But what if the secret to achieving sustainable results and regaining clarity isn't to hit the gas, but to tap the brakes? This week, episode 291 of the Positively LivingⓇ Podcast is about how slowing down makes you more productive!In this episode of the Positively LivingⓇ Podcast, I'm sharing how strategically slowing down can dramatically increase your focus, reduce mistakes, and prevent overwhelm. I highlight two powerful forms of slowing down so you can work smarter, not harder. I cover the following topics:How slowing your pace can actually make you go faster, make fewer mistakes, and produce better quality output. Simple and effective ways to embrace the power of the pause in an otherwise nonstop world. How you can slow down by reducing demands using the generator principle.Why the two sides of slowing down work together to create productivity magic. Regardless of the path you decide, slowing down means choosing a sustainable, grounded, and deeply effective productivity approach that prioritizes your needs while still helping you get where you want to go.Thank you for listening!

UTP392 No es la baliza V16, son tus datos Sean bienvenidos a Buscadores de la Verdad, esta vez emitiendo en directo desde el canal UTP Ramón Valero, aqui en Telegram. Ya saben que no nos gusta tratar los temas de actualidad que consideramos están ahí para distraernos de lo realmente importante, pero creo que en esta ocasión es necesario aclarar algunos puntos sobre la imposición de la nueva baliza V16. En casa de mis padres recibiamos la revista gratuita de la Dirección General de Tráfico (DGT), conocida actualmente como Revista Tráfico y Seguridad Vial (anteriormente Revista Tráfico), ha estado operativa en formato papel desde 1985 hasta 2006 donde paso a ser enviada de manera online a través de una renovación en la suscripción. Esta operación de ahorro fue casi una de las primeras cosas que acometió el director de la DGT actual, Pere Navarro, en su primera etapa del 2004 al 2012. Pere Navarro impulsó una de las campañas de publicidad vial más impactantes y polémicas de la historia de España, conocida por sus anuncios televisivos extremadamente dramáticos y crudos, como “La muerte no avisa”, “Víctimas 3D” o los spots que mostraban accidentes reales reconstruidos con gran realismo y testimonios desgarradores de víctimas y familiares. Esta estrategia de “shock advertising”, inspirada en modelos australianos y británicos, buscaba generar un impacto emocional profundo para cambiar conductas. Los resultados fueron espectaculares: en 2003, antes de su llegada, España registraba 5.399 fallecidos en carretera; al final de su mandato, en 2011, la cifra había caído hasta los 1.867 muertos, lo que supuso una reducción del 65 % en solo ocho años, la mayor bajada histórica registrada en tan poco tiempo. A esta campaña se sumaron medidas como la implantación del permiso por puntos (2006), el endurecimiento de sanciones y los radares de tramo, consolidando el periodo 2004-2012 como la etapa de mayor descenso de la siniestralidad vial en España. A partir de 2014, apenas dos años después de la salida de Pere Navarro, la siniestralidad vial en España rompió la tendencia descendente que había sido constante desde 2003 y comenzó a repuntar de forma sostenida: de los 1.688 fallecidos registrados en 2013 (el mínimo histórico) se pasó a 1.830 en 2019 y, tras el paréntesis de la pandemia, a 1.746 en 2023 y 1.795 en 2024 (datos a 31 de diciembre provisional). Este incremento ha alejado definitivamente al país de la hoja de ruta marcada en la Estrategia de Seguridad Vial 2011-2020 y de las previsiones que la DGT presentó en 2006, cuando, sobre la inercia del permiso por puntos y las campañas de choque, se calculaba que España alcanzaría en 2020 menos de 1.000 fallecidos anuales y se situaría por debajo de la media europea más exigente. En 2025 la cifra real duplica prácticamente aquel objetivo y España ha pasado de ser uno de los países que más rápidamente reducían víctimas a situarse en la zona media-baja de la UE, con una tasa de mortalidad por millón de habitantes que ya no mejora desde hace una década y que en 2024 (38 fallecidos por millón) se encuentra muy lejos de los líderes como Suecia (22) o Noruega (26). Por eso en 2018 se vuelve a contratar a la superestrella para ver si se puede rascar algo. La cuestión es que en un pais en deficit, las carreteras se van deteriorando y el mantenimiento es cada vez mas escaso, a la vez que el parque automovilístico envejece por no poder renovarlo y aumentan el numero de conductores procedentes de países del tercer mundo mientras que el parque tecnológico de control vial de la DGT y las comunidades autónomas con competencias transferidas es uno de los más densos y avanzados de Europa. Actualmente operan los siguientes sistemas: Radares fijos: más de 1.400 visibles, los cinemómetros clásicos en pórtico o poste, Veloláser que la DGT rota entre cabinas vacías para que no se sepa exactamente dónde están. También unos 80 “de baja altura” u ocultos. La DGT tiene un plan para instalar 122 nuevos puntos de control de velocidad a lo largo de 2025. Radares de tramo: 92 tramos operativos en 2025 con unos 232 radares, que miden la velocidad media entre dos puntos. Cubren unos 1.200 km de vías de alta capacidad. Radares móviles: unos 700 dispositivos (la mayoría Veloláser de última generación) usados por Guardia Civil y policías autonómicas/municipales. Pueden instalarse en trípode, en el guardarail, dentro de coche camuflado, motos camufladas y camiones o incluso en coche en movimiento (sin parar). El total de radares en España (todos los tipos, incluidas competencias autonómicas/ayuntamientos) es de 3.395 dispositivos en algún estudio reciente de 2025. Cámaras de cinturón y móvil: desde 2021 se han ido instalando progresivamente. En 2025 hay más de 400 cámaras certificadas que detectan simultáneamente el no uso del cinturón y el manejo del móvil. Funcionan día y noche y ya sancionan automáticamente. Cámaras de reconocimiento de matrículas (OCR): más de 1.200 instaladas en pórticos, postes y coches patrulla. Sirven para: Controlar vehículos sin ITV o sin seguro. Detectar coches robados o reclamados judicialmente. Vigilar el acceso a Zonas de Bajas Emisiones (ZBE) de las ciudades. Hacer seguimiento de flotas y detectar infracciones reiteradas. Cámaras fijas de 360º: Se estima que hay al menos 1.492 cámaras fijas de tráfico distribuidas en unas 150 carreteras de la red nacional y autonómica, muchas de las cuales incorporan tecnología PTZ (pan-tilt-zoom) que permite una visión panorámica de 360 grados para ofrecer imágenes en movimiento de alta resolución, tanto para agentes como para el público a través de herramientas como Infocar de la DGT. A esto debemos sumar las que existan en Cataluña y Pais Vasco dentro de sus propios sistemas de trafico y las operadas por operadores privados en autopistas. Cámaras en peajes y pórticos “Free-Flow”: desde la supresión de peajes físicos en muchas autopistas (AP-7, AP-4, etc.), se han instalado cientos de pórticos con cámaras 3D que identifican la matrícula delantera y trasera y miden velocidad instantánea al mismo tiempo. Detectores de kamikazes: desde 2022 se han instalado más de 120 sensores en autovías y autopistas de doble calzada (principalmente Cataluña, Valencia, Andalucía y Madrid). Son cámaras y sensores LIDAR que detectan vehículos circulando en sentido contrario en menos de 15 segundos y activan paneles luminosos con la alerta “KAMIKAZE” y avisos a la Guardia Civil. En 2024-2025 se ha ampliado el despliegue a Galicia, Castilla y León y Aragón. Drones: la DGT dispone de 39 drones Pegasus con cámara 4K y zoom de 180x que vigilan especialmente en operaciones especiales, carreteras secundarias y eventos masivos (Semana Santa, verano, puentes). Helicópteros: 9 helicópteros en activo y 2 en proyecto equipados con radar Pegasus que pueden controlar hasta 8 carriles simultáneamente y sancionar mientras vuelan a 300-400 km/h de velocidad. Todo este arsenal tecnológico ha permitido que en 2024 se formularan más de 5,5 millones de denuncias automatizadas (el 92 % del total), pero también ha generado la sensación de que, pese a la vigilancia masiva, la mortalidad no baja desde hace diez años, lo que ha llevado a debates sobre si el enfoque exclusivamente sancionador y tecnológico ha tocado techo y necesita complementarse con otras medidas (educación, diseño de carreteras más seguras, renovación del parque móvil, etc.). Pues a todo este despliegue monstruoso de control viene a sumarse una triste lucecita para poner en el techo con la excusa de salvar 25 vidas por atropellos en las carreteras, en palabras textuales de la DGT: "La sustitución de los triángulos está justificada por motivos de seguridad vial, al considerar el riesgo de atropello que supone la colocación de los triángulos por tener que andar, al menos, 100 metros por la calzada sin que haya garantía de que se mantengan en su sitio una vez colocados.” "Con el propósito de avanzar en el ámbito de la seguridad vial y la reducción de accidentes, nace el dispositivo V16.” Según el director general Pere Navarro: "La implantación de la V16 conectada supone un salto adelante y nos sitúa como referentes europeos en seguridad vial. Permite señalizar sin salir del vehículo, evita riesgos innecesarios y aporta información vital a los demás usuarios de la vía." "El objetivo de implantar este nuevo dispositivo de preseñalización en los vehículos es mejorar la seguridad vial, intentando reducir los accidentes de tráfico, sobre todo los provocados por vehículos inmovilizados y estacionados en el arcén.” Os leo textualmente los apartados del articulo 130 del Reglamento General de Circulación de España publicado en el BOE en el Real Decreto 159/2021, de 26 de febrero, dice así: Artículo 130. Señalización e inmovilización de vehículos. 1.Los conductores deberán señalizar la situación de peligro creada por la avería de su vehículo o por el accidente sufrido, adoptando las medidas necesarias para su propia seguridad y la de sus acompañantes, y para la de los demás usuarios de la vía. 2.Si el vehículo o la carga obstaculizan la calzada, deberán señalizarse y retirarse lo antes posible. En tanto no se haya producido la retirada, el vehículo deberá estacionarse de acuerdo con lo dispuesto en el artículo 91.2. 3.En caso de accidente o avería, como norma general, los ocupantes deberán abandonar el vehículo y situarse en un lugar seguro fuera de la calzada, por el lado contrario a la circulación, sin invadir los carriles de circulación ni el arcén. En el supuesto de que no exista un lugar seguro, los ocupantes deberán permanecer dentro del vehículo con el cinturón de seguridad abrochado. 4.Mientras se efectúen las actuaciones para retirar el vehículo de la vía, se utilizará el dispositivo de preseñalización de peligro reglamentario. 5.No se efectuará el atestado del accidente en la calzada, debiendo realizarse en un lugar seguro fuera de la vía. Juan Carlos Toribio, ex-Guardia Civil representante de la Unión Internacional para la Defensa de los Motociclistas nos dice claramente en un video que estamos obligados a señalizar en caso de obstruir la calzada, esto es, la zona por donde circulan los coches y no si logramos detenernos en el arcén. Desgraciadamente nos lo dejan claro en el articulo Artículo 91. Inmovilización del vehículo en casos de emergencia o de peligro. Donde en su apartado 2 se dice: 2. Cuando, por emergencia, el vehículo haya de permanecer detenido o estacionado en la calzada o en el arcén, el conductor estará obligado a adoptar las medidas necesarias para que resulte perfectamente perceptible y para que se retire lo antes posible de la vía. Volviendo al tema de los accidentes mortales que nos han traído hasta aqui, no hay un informe monográfico que confirme cuántos de estos incidentes fueron directamente por colocar o retirar los triángulos, ni cuántos involucraron a conductores particulares versus trabajadores profesionales de la carretera (como operarios de mantenimiento vial, grúas o servicios de emergencia, que representan un subgrupo significativo de peatones expuestos en arcenes, según el Registro Nacional de Víctimas de Accidentes de Tráfico). La propia DGT admite en comunicados que "no existen estudios específicos que determinen cuántas de esas víctimas lo fueron al colocar los triángulos", y expertos independientes, como en análisis de 2025, cuestionan la precisión de la cifra de "25" como aproximada y no exacta, sugiriendo que podría inflar el riesgo para justificar la baliza V-16. En su lugar, la justificación se basa en informes agregados como la Instrucción MOV-2023/15, que destaca el "notable incremento del riesgo de atropello" en autopistas/autovias por transitar el arcén, sin desglose laboral, y en la Estrategia de Seguridad Vial 2030, que agrupa estos datos en categorías amplias de "peatones vulnerables en vías interurbanas" sin diferenciar perfiles profesionales. La Estrategia de Seguridad Vial 2030 de España, aprobada en diciembre de 2021 por el Consejo de Ministros, se presenta oficialmente como la contribución nacional al cumplimiento del Objetivo de Desarrollo Sostenible 3.6 de la Agenda 2030 de Naciones Unidas, que establece textualmente: «Para 2030, reducir a la mitad el número de muertes y lesiones causadas por accidentes de tráfico en el mundo». La propia DGT lo reconoce así en su documento oficial: «Esta Estrategia se alinea con la Agenda 2030 para el Desarrollo Sostenible y, en concreto, con la meta 3.6», y adopta el mismo horizonte temporal (2030) y el mismo objetivo cuantitativo: reducir un 50 % las víctimas mortales y los heridos graves respecto a la base 2019 (1.755 fallecidos y 8.558 heridos graves hospitalizados). Además, incorpora explícitamente los principios de la Agenda 2030 (Visión Cero muertes y lesiones graves, Sistema Seguro, enfoque basado en datos, gobernanza multinivel y participación de la sociedad civil) y se integra en el marco europeo del Plan de Acción de Seguridad Vial 2021-2030 de la Comisión Europea, que también toma como referencia la meta 3.6 de la ONU. En resumen, la Estrategia española no es solo un plan nacional de tráfico, sino la herramienta con la que España pretende cumplir formalmente su compromiso internacional asumido al firmar la Agenda 2030 en septiembre de 2015. Vivimos en un país donde la esquizofrenia política roza lo caricaturesco: hace solo cinco meses, el 16 de junio de 2025, Vox presentó y defendió en el Congreso una Proposición No de Ley con el nombre “la mejora de la seguridad de los trabajadores que prestan servicio en carretera” y pidió acelerar la obligatoriedad de la baliza V-16 conectada (la misma que ahora llaman “nuevo impuesto encubierto”), logrando su aprobación con los votos del PP, los votos en contra del PSOE y todos sus socios y la abstención de Junts. Su entonces portavoz de Tráfico, Francisco José Alcaraz —el ex-peluquero convertido en diputado—, llegó a calificarla de “tecnología innovadora que salvará vidas” y exigió al Gobierno que no retrasara más su implantación definitiva. Hoy, el mismo partido pide la paralización inmediata de la medida que él mismo forzó, demostrando que en España la coherencia política tiene menos recorrido que un triángulo de emergencia en plena autovía. En 2026, cuando se haga efectiva la obligatoriedad de este nuevo artefacto de control, llevaré 40 años conduciendo por las carreteras de España y de Europa. 4 décadas en las que he visto muchas cosas en los mas de un millón de kilómetros recorridos a una media de 25.000 km al año. He tenido que usar muchas veces la señalización pasiva que ofrecen los triángulos y he visto su eficacia de noche, a pleno sol, en curvas, cambios de rasante y todo tipo de condiciones atmosféricas. Sin embargo Pere Navarro no habrá conducido ni un solo kilometro ya que nunca ha tenido carnet de conducir y siempre ha tenido chofer particular, como político estrella que ha sido. Las condiciones meteorológicas o la cobertura impedirán en un montón de ocasiones que este flan Dhul con luces sirva para algo. Hay muchas carreteras en España, incluidos trozos de autovías, donde no hay cobertura y por tanto no funcionara la geolocalización. Y este cacharro como bien dice AlainCreaciones no es a prueba de agua. La carcasa de plástico es de una calidad muy baja con pestañas de acople, sin tornillos lo que hace que la baliza tenga una protección mínima exigida por el BOE de IP54 aunque existan algunas con IP66 que ya garantizan protección contra polvo y lluvia intensa. En situación de lluvia las de menor IP tendrán fallo electrónico garantizado. Por no hablar de la durabilidad de las pilas que según el pliego de características técnicas de los dispositivos de preseñalización V-16 establecidas por la Dirección General de Tráfico (DGT) en su normativa de homologación (Instrucción MOV-2023/15 y requisitos de certificación UNE-EN 12352), la duración mínima exigida a los fabricantes para la pila o batería es de 18 meses de vida útil en reposo, independientemente de si se trata de pilas alcalinas no recargables o baterías de litio recargables. Esta especificación garantiza que el dispositivo permanezca operativo sin uso durante al menos ese periodo desde su fabricación o última carga completa, complementada con una autonomía mínima de 30 minutos de funcionamiento continuo una vez activado para emitir luz intermitente de alta intensidad. El fabricante entre otros muchos datos recibe el estado de nuestras baterías en la baliza, me pregunto para que, lo que levanta las sospechas de que el software pueda hacer otras cosas a parte de simplemente marcar el punto del accidente. Una vez agotadas, la V16 es como dice Rose Saint Olaf (ManzanaDori) un flan Dhul en el techo del coche. Eso en el mejor de los casos, porque una batería de litio dejada al sol en pleno verano en España puede terminar en tragedia, así que mejor a pilas entrecomillas “de toda la vida” que lo máximo que harán será sulfatarse y estropear la electrónica. Os puedo asegurar que en mis 40 años al volante he necesitado indicar mi avería en la carretera durante bastantes horas en alguna ocasión. Los triángulos, como he dicho anteriormente otorgan una seguridad mediante elementos pasivos, reflectantes, que no necesitan de una fuente de energia externa para funcionar y se ven desde bastante mas distancia que este flan Dhul a pilas. Entonces, si la DGT no ha demostrado con datos desglosados y públicos que esos 25 atropellos anuales se deban realmente a la colocación de triángulos (y no a otros factores como reparaciones, cambios de rueda o trabajadores en la vía), si la baliza V16 conectada no mejora la visibilidad respecto a las versiones no conectadas ya permitidas desde 2021 algunas como las V2 con sirenas giratorias enchufadas al encendedor del vehículo, y si su principal ventaja (la geolocalización) solo será obligatoria a partir de 2026 y aún no está plenamente operativa en todos los navegadores y paneles… ¿por qué se impone de forma tan drástica y urgente una medida que obliga a 30 millones de conductores a gastar entre 25 y 60 € en un dispositivo nuevo, que genera rechazo masivo por la sensación de impuesto encubierto, que se ha comunicado de forma confusa y tardía, y ha sido alimentada por bulos (chip de seguimiento, multas automáticas, negocio de empresas afines, etc.) que la propia DGT no ha desmentido con la claridad y antelación necesarias? La pregunta no es si la V16 es útil o no; es por qué se ha convertido en símbolo de una gestión autoritaria, poco transparente y desconectada de la realidad de la ciudadanía. Y aqui es donde debemos sospechar que la DGT simplemente está trabajando para otras entidades supranacionales que son las que verdaderamente están detrás de la implementación de la Agenda 2030 como he comentado antes. Eso sí, gracias a esta tecnologia la DGT obtendría algún beneficio oculto a simple vista. Vamos a analizar los datos que nos permiten asegurar sin ningún genero de dudas lo que se esconde aqui. Es verdad que algunas balizas V-16 conectadas (no todas) incluyen o recomiendan la instalación de una aplicación móvil específica del fabricante para acceder a funcionalidades adicionales, como la confirmación de recepción de alertas por la DGT, el aviso automático a contactos de emergencia vía WhatsApp, la gestión de flotas o la verificación del estado del dispositivo. En estos casos, la app sí puede solicitar datos personales del usuario (nombre, email, teléfono) y del vehículo (matrícula, tipo, bastidor o datos del seguro) para vincular la baliza a un perfil concreto y personalizar el servicio, lo que facilita la integración con plataformas como DGT 3.0 o apps de aseguradoras. Ejemplos incluyen la app SOS Alert de FlashLED/Telefónica Tech, que pide estos datos para "toda la información de tu vehículo en la APP", o apps de marcas como SOOS o LEDONE, donde se registra la matrícula para asociar la geolocalización en emergencias. Sin embargo, esto no es un requisito obligatorio de la DGT ni para la homologación ni para el uso básico de la baliza: la normativa (Instrucción MOV-2023/15) establece que el dispositivo funciona de forma autónoma con su chip GPS y SIM integrada, transmitiendo solo la ubicación anónima (sin matrícula ni identidad) a la plataforma DGT 3.0 al activarse, sin necesidad de apps, registros previos o cesión de datos a la Administración. La Agencia Española de Protección de Datos (AEPD) lo confirma explícitamente: "Para mandar la ubicación del vehículo incidentado no es necesario instalar ninguna aplicación", y "la baliza no transmite ningún tipo de datos personales ni relacionados con el vehículo" más allá del identificador técnico anónimo de cada baliza. La DGT advierte que las apps de fabricantes son opcionales y que el comprador "no tiene por qué facilitar ningún tipo de dato", ya que el proceso es completamente anónimo. O sea, la baliza tiene una ID única que la identifica, lo cual podría permitir anexar datos a esa ID, algo asi como el numero PNR que cada uno de nosotros tenemos asignados aunque ni siquiera seamos conscientes de ello. El reciente ciberataque a la Dirección General de Tráfico (DGT), detectado el 31 de mayo de 2024, ha expuesto los datos personales y vehiculares de más de 34 millones de conductores españoles, incluyendo DNIs, direcciones, matrículas y detalles de seguros, que ahora circulan en el dark web para su venta. Este incidente pone de manifiesto la creciente vulnerabilidad de los sistemas públicos ante amenazas cibernéticas, y genera preocupación sobre cómo estos datos podrían cruzarse con otros registros estatales para un seguimiento más exhaustivo de la movilidad ciudadana. Por ejemplo, al entrar en vigor la obligatoriedad de las balizas V16 –dispositivos que transmiten la ID única y la geolocalización en caso de avería–, surge la posibilidad de que se integren con la información filtrada de la DGT, permitiendo un mapeo detallado de trayectos vehiculares en tiempo real. A esto se suma que el Estado ya nos tiene en listas a través del Registro de Nombres de Pasajeros (PNR), implementado tras el 11S, que recopila datos de todos los vuelos de entrada, salida o escala en España, viajes en tren de largo recorrido y pernoctación en hoteles para fines de seguridad, abarcando identidades, itinerarios y preferencias de viaje. Podrán encontrar más información en los enlaces que se publicaran junto a la descripción de este podcast en Ivoox. Pero, sigamos. Según la Dirección General de Tráfico (DGT), en su página oficial sobre los Dispositivos de preseñalización V16, se debe llevar la baliza de la siguiente manera para evitar multas: "Debemos llevarla en la guantera de nuestro vehículo". Esto implica que, a partir del 1 de enero de 2026, cuando sea obligatoria, todo conductor estará sancionado con 80 euros (infracción leve) si no dispone de ella homologada y lista para usar en su interior, accesible y con batería o pila en buen estado (mínimo 18 meses de vida útil en reposo). Respecto a "activada", la DGT aclara textualmente que "en el momento en que tengamos que señalizar que nuestro vehículo está inmovilizado en carretera, lo único que debemos hacer es encender la baliza y colocarla en el exterior del mismo. Por eso es tan importante que la guardes a mano y que la lleves siempre cargada, ya sea con baterías o con pilas, en función del modelo de la baliza que hayas adquirido”. Bien. La baliza solo dispone de un único botón, se trata de un pulsador que activa inmediatamente las luces led y la geolocalización de la baliza a los 100 segundos de la pulsación. Con otra pulsación la apagamos y supuestamente deja de enviar nuestra geolocalización. Pero esto se ha demostrado falso ya que se le han realizado pruebas donde se ve que el router eSIM que monta emite datos estando apagada pero con las pilas puestas. Se ha elegido este tipo de transmisión de datos ya que hace que sea imposible evitar su funcionamiento extrayendo la tarjeta SIM que esta integrada en dicho modulo electrónico. Los desmontajes de las balizas han arrojado que solo disponen de un controlador de software, una antena GPS y este router de comunicación. Dicha comunicación es full duplex y permite la salida y entrada de datos asi como existe en la placa base de la baliza un sistema de introducción y extracción de datos manual y actualización del firmware. Todo el software está encriptado dentro del chip controlador y hasta donde yo se todavía ningún hacker ha podido desvelar exactamente que hace dicho software, pero debemos sospechar que podría hacer algo más que comunicar anónimamente nuestra geolocalización tras pulsar el botón. Leemos un articulo en bandaancha punto eu titulado “El dominio al que las balizas V-16 envían datos no pertenece a la DGT, sino a un misterioso usuario particular”. “Los más de 30 millones de balizas V-16 que tendrán que adquirir los propietarios de vehículos para cumplir con la normativa que entra en vigor el 1 de enero, no están programadas para llamar directamente a los sistemas de la DGT cuando se activan para señalizar la detención de un vehículo. La Resolución de la DGT publicada en noviembre de 2021 en el BOE que define el funcionamiento técnico de las balizas1, establece 2 protocolos, Protocolo A y B. El llamado protocolo A contiene el conjunto de campos que se exige a los fabricantes que remitan sus balizas. Entre los campos encontramos un identificador único de la baliza, el IMEI del módem que conecta con la red móvil, nivel de batería y por supuesto, las coordenadas geográficas que permiten a la DGT conocer la posición sobre el mapa del vehículo. Pero esta información no llega a los servidores de la DGT. La norma obliga a los fabricantes a mantener un servicio en la nube encargado de procesar todas las peticiones que llegan de las balizas de su marca como tráfico UDP sobre IP. El servidor es accesible mediante un APN privado integrado en la eSIM de la baliza, que no tiene acceso a internet. Este punto crítico para el funcionamiento de todas las balizas de un fabricante deberá mantenerse en funcionamiento durante los 12 años en los que se garantiza el servicio de conectividad. La caída del servicio de un fabricante, bien por problemas técnicos o por el cierre de la empresa, algo que podría ocurrir más fácilmente con las marcas creadas ad-hoc para aprovechar el boom de la venta de balizas, dejaría fuera de juego a las miles de balizas de la marca. Es por ello que el pliego técnico del concurso en el que se adjudicó la creación de la DGT 3.0 a un grupo de empresas lideradas por Vodafone, contemplaba la posibilidad de habilitar sistemas de respaldo para los fabricantes. Los servidores del fabricante de la baliza son los encargados de, en un segundo paso, reenviar los datos de un incidente en curso a los servidores de la DGT. Lo hacen aplicando el protocolo B, que a día de hoy contiene un conjunto reducido de los datos originalmente enviados por la baliza a su fabricante. Cambiar los campos del protocolo A es prácticamente inviable, puesto que requeriría actualizar manualmente el firmware de las balizas. Mucho más sencillo resulta para la DGT vía publicación de nueva Resolución en el BOE modificar el protocolo B, ampliando si lo desea sus campos con los que ya reciben los fabricantes. El dominio de entrada a la DGT 3.0 está a nombre de un particular. La DGT invita a los fabricantes de dispositivos y desarrolladores de apps a conectarse a su nube DGT 3.0 publicando en su web2 los repositorios en Github que contienen los detalles para acceder al servicio. En el caso de las V-16, la nube de los fabricantes debe enviar los eventos de las balizas activas en formato json a una URL en concreto: https://pre.cmobility30.es/v16/ Aunque el subdominio pre probablemente indica que se trata de la versión del servicio habilitada para hacer pruebas antes de su paso a producción, el dominio cmobility30.es figura en la documentación de todas las APIs de la DGT 3.0, siendo por tanto un elemento crítico para el funcionamiento de la plataforma DGT 3.0. Sin embargo, la DGT no tiene la titularidad de este dominio. Al consultar el whois de cmobility30.es en los registro de Red.es no aparece como propietario la DGT ni otro organismo gubernamental. Tampoco la UTE (Unión Temporal de Empresas) designada para operar la DGT 3.0, si no que su titular es un misterioso usuario particular.” O sea, toda la arquitectura de registro de datos de un pais entero pasa por un servidor alojado en un dominio de internet a nombre de un tal Ivan Vega. Imagino que seria bastante fácil de tumbar en un ataque por hackers. Hemos visto varias cosas interesantes, esta decisión proviene de ámbitos superiores incluso a Europa por lo que va a ser muy difícil tumbarlo judicialmente y se busca algo mas que simplemente señalizar el punto donde se ha producido el accidente cosa que normalmente hace el propio accidentado con su movil, ya que la baliza no indica el punto al 112 por ejemplo, cosa que si debemos hacer nosotros. La baliza parece más bien un caballo de Troya para irnos acostumbrando a ser geolocalizados en el coche de forma constante en un futuro. Cosa que ya ocurre desde que empezamos a utilizar los teléfonos inteligentes, asi de tontos somos en realidad. La mejor forma de impedir su implementación es no comprar dichas balizas y arriesgarnos a ser multados con esos 80 euros. En mi experiencia en la carretera jamas se me pidió por parte de la Guardia Civil el que les mostrara los triángulos y se que muchos de ellos no ven con buenos ojos el haber pasado de unas medidas de prevención pasivas a una luz que necesita energia externa y que en muchos casos dejara de funcionar en apenas unos minutos. Visto que dichas balizas no tienen botón de apagado, ni tarjeta SIM que extraer para que no envíe datos, y que se nos exige llevar las pilas puestas recomiendo el aislarlas electromagnéticamente para impedir que puedan comunicar nuestra posición GPS mientras no la necesitemos para señalizar un accidente. Hay dos formas, o comprando una funda jaula de Faraday que nos costara lo mismo que una baliza o envolverla en tres o cuatro capas de papel de aluminio, también servirían esas bolsas que se utilizan en el supermercado para transportar comida en frio. Otra medida que los volvería locos es que intercambiaramos nuestras balizas con otros conductores ya que oficialmente nos dicen que los datos son anónimos aunque cada baliza cuente con un numero ID de identificación único. De momento no está claro si encender una baliza fuera de una vía donde circulen vehículos es un delito así que la saturación de las redes provocando eventos de encendido en masa también seria una buena forma de protesta. Conociendo los datos que ese protocolo B transmite en ultima instancia a la DGT no podemos asegurar que el fin ultimo sea conocer nuestra posición y velocidad en la carretera en la actualidad. Pero como he dicho, es muy probable que en un futuro, se utilicen dichos datos para empezar a implementar mas radares y controles en las zonas donde se incumplan los limites de velocidad, todo apunta a ello. Los datos son el oro en la actualidad, y más si son gratis. El actual director general de la DGT, Pere Navarro Olivella, fue alcalde de Terrassa entre 2000 y 2007 y ex líder del PSC del 2011 al 2014. Y por supuesto, como todo “buen político” fue “investigado" por un presunto delito de tráfico de influencias dentro del llamado caso Mercurio. La juez Beatriz Faura, del Juzgado de Instrucción número 2 de Sabadell, lo citó a declarar el 24 de febrero de 2016 sobre la ayuda que presto a un empresario amigo, Nicola Pedrazzoli, a obtener una concesión de un canal de TDT. El caso Mercurio ha tenido ramificaciones amplias, con imputaciones por cohecho, prevaricación y blanqueo aunque Pere Navarro ha quedado al margen de todo. En 2011, Pere Navarro, recién reincorporado como director general de Tráfico tras un breve paréntesis político, decidió trasladar su despacho y toda su unidad del edificio de la DGT en José Abascal 44 al número 28 de la misma calle, exactamente al mismo inmueble que él mismo había abandonado en 2007 para irse al 44. El argumento oficial fue “estar más cerca del secretario general del organismo” y mejorar la coordinación, una justificación que resultó ridícula para muchos: los dos edificios están a apenas 200 metros de distancia y ya estaban conectados internamente. El traslado fue percibido como un capricho personal sin ninguna utilidad real, especialmente en pleno pico de la crisis económica, con España sometida a recortes sociales y un desempleo del 21 %. El coste de esta operación rozó el millón de euros (según la información publicada por La Razón y nunca desmentida oficialmente): reformas integrales del despacho, mobiliario de lujo, nuevos archivadores, traslado de todo el personal del Observatorio Nacional de Seguridad Vial y acondicionamiento completo de la planta. En un momento en que el Gobierno exigía sacrificios a los ciudadanos y se recortaban prestaciones básicas, gastar cerca de un millón de euros en cambiar de edificio dentro de la misma calle para “estar más cómodo” se convirtió en uno de los símbolos más claros del despilfarro de ciertos altos cargos socialistas y alimentó durante años la imagen de Navarro como gestor poco sensible a la situación del país. Pero no vamos a terminar hundidos en el pesimismo, os voy a dar una buena noticia para variar. Y es que Aena, el operador estatal que lleva nuestros aeropuertos, ha tenido que desactivar el embarque biométrico tras recibir una sanción millonaria. Leemos en un noticia: “La Agencia Española de Protección de Datos, AEPD, ha condenado al operador aeroportuario Aena a una multa de 10 millones de euros y ha ordenado el cierre inmediato de todas las puertas biométricas de embarque. La razón de esta sanción estriba en que Aena no realizó una evaluación obligatoria de impacto en la protección de datos antes de introducir la tecnología que permite el reconocimiento de los pasajeros por su aspecto físico. Tras las quejas de los viajeros, la AEPD inició una investigación, que la ha llevado a condenar a Aena por no haber realizado la comprobación de los efectos que el reconocimiento biométrico puede tener en la protección da datos.” Desgraciadamente dicha agencia ha dado el visto bueno este mismo 20 de noviembre a las balizas V16 siempre y cuando, y leo textualmente: “estos dispositivos están destinados exclusivamente a la visibilización del vehículo accidentado y el envío de la ubicación de un incidente al activarse, prohibiendo expresamente que incorporen funcionalidades adicionales.” O sea, según ellos al más mínimo indicio de que hacen algo más dicha agencia las quitara de en medio. Sin embargo no han dicho ni mu sobre que el dominio por donde circularán los datos de millones de españoles este en manos de un tipo llamado Ivan Vega. Preparemonos para lo peor pero esperemos lo mejor. Os invito a que no compréis dicha lucecita y que desobedezcáis en masa una medida dictatorial como esta. De momento el señor Pere Navarro ya ha dicho que nos dará un periodo de gracia. En 2020, mientras todos mirábamos hipnotizados la tele y aplaudíamos a las ocho, el Gobierno lanzó en la sombra el mayor experimento de rastreo masivo jamás visto en España: un proyecto secreto del INE, la DGT y las grandes telecos (Movistar, Vodafone, Orange) para geolocalizar en tiempo real los 47 millones de móviles del país con una precisión de pocos metros. Sin pedir permiso a nadie, activaron la extracción masiva de datos de antenas y señales GPS anonimizadas… o eso nos contaron. Cada desplazamiento, cada salida al supermercado, cada viaje al pueblo quedó registrado y cruzado con bases de datos demográficas para crear mapas de colores que mostraban exactamente quién obedecía el confinamiento y quién no. Oficialmente era “para estudiar la movilidad durante la pandemia”; en realidad fue el ensayo general perfecto del sistema que hoy usa la DGT 3.0: la misma infraestructura que mañana recibirá la señal de tu baliza V16 conectada cuando te averíes… y que, casualmente, ya sabe perfectamente por dónde te mueves cada día sin que tú hayas hecho nada. El conejo ya estaba dentro del sombrero hace cinco años; ahora solo falta que enciendas la lucecita para que sepan exactamente dónde estás parado. Coincidencia, claro. ……………………………………………………………………………………….

What's it like building an AI-centric application? Carl and Richard talk to Calum Simpson of SSW about their product YakShaver. Calum talks about building a tool that speeds reporting on issues and ideas, so you can spend more time focusing on key issues rather than "shaving the yak." The use of LLMs makes YakShaver far more capable, and the upcoming V2 uses Model Context Protocol (MCP) servers to expand functionality and feed information directly into bug reports, such as GitHub issues and feature requests. The conversation also turns a bit more philosophical, focusing on innovative uses of LLMs, properly constraining these tools, and maintaining a transparent chain of responsibility for your code.

YouTube tests a new custom feed just like Instagram and TikTok, Shorts AI Creation Tools get updates, and I experiment with speeding up Lauren to see if that helps. Also the Head of Instagram stops by to explain that reposting your own content to Feed really won't do much, and the team at TikTok shares some stats around using Creators to make content for brands. After the music, I do Wednesday Waffle talking about a book I read recently. Links:YouTube: Testing "Your Custom Feed" (Google Support: YouTube)YouTube: New Communities Features, Expansion of Shorts AI Creation Tools, and Handles Update! (YouTube)Instagram: Does Reposting Your Content To Feed Help? (Instagram)TikTok: The Creator Advantage: How creators drive real brand impact on TikTok (TikTok)TikTok: TikTok One - Creative Academy Videos (TikTok) Wednesday Waffle:Book: Wrong Place, Wrong Time - Gillian McAllister (Amazon) Transcript: Daniel Hill: Welcome to the Instagram stories for Wednesday, November 26th. I'm your host, Daniel Hill. There is a lot of social media news to talk about today. The YouTube team has expanded their shorts AI creation tools. The head of Instagram explains whether or not it's worth it to repost your own posts and if that'll help you get more engagement. The team at TikTok shares some data explaining why it's so important to work with creators if you're a business and how that can drive brand impact. for your business. We'll get into that along with some video guides that the TikTok team has made to help you make better content. And after all the social media news, I will do a Wednesday waffle where I talk about a topic that may or may not be related to social media. All of that and more on today's episode. But first, here's a quick word from our sponsors. Welcome back. Let's start with the YouTube news. Before we dive in, a little bit of context. I've been talking on the show recently about how Instagram is going to allow you to customize what you see in your for you feed based on what you are personally interested in and you can pick which topics you're interested in, which ones you're not. Tik Tok has had that for a long time. There are sliders that you can move to indicate which kinds of content you want to see more or less of. And they recently added the ability to adjust what level of AI content you see in your feed. Now, YouTube is copying that and they shared yesterday that they are testing something called your custom feed. They say, quote, "We're experimenting presenting with a new feature called your custom feed that lets you customize recommendations for your home feed. If you are part of the experiment, you will see your custom feed appear on your homepage as a chip beside home. When you click into it, you can update your existing home feed recommendations by entering a single prompt. This feature is designed to give you an easy to use way to have more control over your suggested content. If you see it, check it out and share your feedback". I will link to this post in the show notes so that you can see it for yourself. All right, moving on. Since we're already talking about YouTube news, let's move to Lauren from the YouTube Creator Insider team with her updates talking about how the Shorts AI creation tools are being expanded and an update to the way YouTube handles channel names versus handles. Here's the clip from Lauren. Uh, one quick thing before I play the clip. I was reading the feedback that I got about the show and some of you mentioned that Lauren's updates can drag on a little bit and I agree. So, I'm going to experiment with speeding up Lauren just a little bit. Hopefully, it's enough that it goes faster and you don't feel like Lauren's dragging, but you can still catch what she's saying.Lauren: What's up, insiders? I'm Lauren, a program manager working on our product team here at YouTube and the producer of Creator Insider. Up until now, channel names were used as the identifier for channels across live chat and channel memberships on main and YouTube studio. Now, a creator's handle will be shown across these services as their identifier. For moderators of live chat, you can still navigate to a user's channel by tapping on their handle. Let us know if you have any questions. In June, we talked about new AI powered shorts creation tools. If you missed the update, we'll leave more information in the description. We're happy to share that we're expanding standalone clips, green screen backgrounds, AI playground, and phototovideo to new markets around the world for creators with their YouTube language settings set to English. We're also leveling up the photo to video experience with new prompt capabilities. Now you can create a prompt from scratch, watch your memories come to life, and even add speech to give your video a voice. We're also introducing new Genai effects that transform your sketches into captivating videos powered by VO. These effects are now available globally. Additionally, speech to song and the ability to add lyrics and vocals in Dream Track are now available to creators in the US. These features will be rolling out this month and we'll keep you posted as we add new features. We're also bringing the power of Google DeepMind's V3 model to shorts, available for everyone on mobile. This upgrade from V2 lets you create videos up to 8 seconds long, previously six, now with synchronized sound effects, ambient audio, and speech. We'll leave more info below. Next, updates for communities. If you're still on the fence about enabling communities, an internal experiment in early September 2025 found that channels with YouTube communities enabled saw on average an increase in post impressions and likes on their channel.Daniel Hill: Okay, I'm going to stop it there because the rest of the update is about communities and I don't think it's very interesting. But if you do want to check out the whole post, I will link to it in the show notes so you can watch it for yourself. Hopefully the increased speed with which Lauren explained those things still let you understand what was going on and hopefully kept her a little bit more brief than usual. Okay, now let's move on to the Instagram section, the head of Instagram answered the question about whether or not reposting your content in your own feed does anything. So, you have the opportunity to share content that you've made from your feed to your story, for instance, but now you can also repost it to your feed. If you posted a piece of content and it didn't really do that well, it might be tempting to repost it to your feed so that your followers have another chance to see it. The head of Instagram explains it's not really worth it to do that. Here's the clip.Adam Mosseri: Since we launched reposts a couple months ago. I get the question a lot. Should I repost my own content? And you can. It might help a little bit on the margins, but it's not going to meaningfully change the amount of reach that you get. If you want to try and help your post go a little bit farther, I'd recommend instead going into the comments, responding to some people, liking some comments, and interacting with the people who've taken the time to actually like or comment on your post. This will help more than just reposting something that you've already posted. But I understand why people try. And this not going to hurt you to do so, but it's not going to actually help. So, I wanted to answer that question definitively once and for all. Hopefully, this helps later.Daniel Hill: So, there you have it. Not really worth a lot of time and energy. We're going to take a quick break. When we come back, some information from the Tik Tok team about how creators can help to drive impact for brands and additionally some videos from the Tik Tok team helping you to make better content. Stick around. Welcome back. Let's continue with the Tik Tok news. The team at Tik Tok made a long blog post sharing some data about how much creators making content and having brands push that content can impact the business that the brand does as opposed to the brand just making content on their own or hiring a marketing company. The importance of this cannot be understated because the content comes across as more authentic. They share some stats explaining that creator ads meaning an ad that is based on a piece of content that a creator made that creator ad can drive a 70% higher click-through rate and 159% higher engagement rate than noncreator ads. Okay, so why such a big difference? Three main reasons. First, when creators are making content, they're doing it through the lens of Tik Tok culture. They're familiar with the platform, not from the perspective of trying to sell a product or service, but rather just being familiar with the community. Additionally, creators can make a lot of good content very quickly. We are all used to sitting down to come up with an idea of something that we think could potentially work, coming up with what we need in order to make that piece of content, whether it's a script, finding a location, then filming it, editing it, and publishing it, and doing that for ourselves. So, when brands are working with creators, they're tapping into this system that we are all doing all the time. Anyway, another key thing to remember is that when brands partner with creators, the Those creators have a wide variety of different voices, skill sets, things they bring to the table, all of which appeal to different people. So, it does make sense to partner with a wide variety of creators. The third reason that this is so effective is because people already follow these creators. They liked them enough to follow them. When a creator makes a piece of content about a brand or product or service and posts it to their account, it comes across more authentically because it is not coming from the advertiser's account. According to a study from the TikTok team, ads posted to a creator's account have a 59% higher engagement rate and a 16% higher 6second viewthrough rate than those that are not posted directly to the creator's account. So, it's worth it to do this. There's more stats and strategy in this blog post, which I will link to, but I also uncovered something called TikTok 1, which is a creative academy to help you make better content on TikTok. I will play a short snippet of one of the videos that I found on there so you can get an idea of what this is all about.Unknown Speaker (from TikTok 1 Clip): This video is about TikTok creative best practices. Good creative is imperative for successful ad campaign. There are some essential guidelines you must follow in order to set yourself up for that success. These include video duration, design elements, safe zone, and video formats. Today we're talking creative codes. Six secrets to help you decode TikTok's creative potential. And what better place to start then code number one Tik Tok first. So when we say TikTok first, what do we mean? Going TikTok first means creating natural feeling TikTok content that's authentic to the platform. Feeling authentic to the for you page is as simple as taking cues from the content you love. How can you make content that feels organic to the for you page? Here are some quick tips that will help you look right at home on TikTok. Start simple. From filming at a professional shoot to filming on your phone, you can execute your ideas in the way that works for you. Go 9x6. This is a platform where vertical video thrives. Frame your content accordingly. Shoot high-res. Whether you use high-end software or smartphone technology, create video content that is clear and crisp.Daniel Hill: Okay, I'm going to stop the clip there. You get the idea. If you want to watch the rest of this video series, which I actually think is very good, I will link to it in the show notes. Be sure to check it out for yourself. That is it for today's news. If you would like to hear me do Wednesday waffle, which is where I talk about another topic that may or may not be related to social media. Stick around after the music.Music: Instagram news got you covered. Sometimes even TikTok relevant platforms in the metaverse. Ahead of the wave without a break or a pit stops waiting for Zuckerberg to give me the big job. Use trademarks and logos with instance permission. Of course, if you like the show and you gain some good info, maybe leave a review. It's a type of applause. Just drop me a message if you want to collab. If you got some good content or you want to run ads at @DanielHillMedia is where I am. TikTok, Facebook, at Instagram. All right, thank you for sticking around to hear me talk about something else. And now I would like to recommend a book. I don't think I did this previously on the show. I would like to recommend a book called Wrong Place, Wrong Time by Gillian McAllister. I would categorize this book as a thriller/time travel book. I don't like to normally recommend books because everyone likes different things in books. However, this book is excellent. I spend a lot of time reading books. I like to read a few minutes every night before I go to sleep, and this one really had me hooked. I was having trouble forcing myself actually to go to sleep. The ending ties together perfectly. I will link to this book in the show notes. Definitely check it out. Wrong place, Wrong Time by Gillian McAllister. If you like time travel, if you like science fiction, if you like thrillers, if you like any books that are a bit mysterious or suspenseful, I think you will like this. Find the link to the book in the show notes. And thank you for listening to me talk about something else other than social media for a minute.Sign Up for The Weekly Email Roundup: NewsletterLeave a Review: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Apple Podcasts⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Follow Me on Instagram: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠@danielhillmedia⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

The Second World War saw the development of many new weapons. Perhaps none was more terrifying than the development of long-range strategic rockets.  Rockets had been used in combat for centuries, dating back to their development in ancient China; however, the rockets developed by Germany were a different matter altogether.  They terrorized civilians in England and actually served as the starting point of the space race.  Learn more about the V1 and V2 rockets and the Nazi rocket program on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.

Tanto en el Garaje de Moto1PRO como en Garaje Hermético nos apasiona tratar de ver la vida con otros ojos desde otra perspectiva… Hablaremos de motos en muchos casos objetivamente buenas, que pasaron por el mercado sin pena ni gloria. 1. Vespa Cosa (1988). Modernizar y actualizar un icono como la Vespa no es una tarea fácil. Piaggio lo intentó con la Cosa en 1988. 2. Yamaha TDM 850 (1991). Mucho antes de que las Trail asfálticas triunfasen en el mercado, Yamaha lanzó la TDM 850, lo que ahora llamamos “Trail asfáltica” o “Crossover”. Pero en esos años, el mercado no supo dónde encasillarla. 3. Suzuki RF 600/900 R (1993). A principios de los 90, si querías una moto deportiva, tenías las radicales "RR". Si querías viajar, las turismo. Suzuki intentó crear el híbrido perfecto con la RF. 4. Ducati ST2/ST4 (1997). Ducati siempre ha sido sinónimo de deportividad y diseño radical. Por eso, cuando en 1997 lanzó la saga ST, Sport-Turismo, muchos ducatistas se llevaron las manos a la cabeza. 5. Aprilia RSV Mille Falco (1999). La Aprilia Falco era, sencillamente, una moto espectacular. Utilizaba el mismo e increíble motor V2 de 1000cc de su hermana superdeportiva, la RSV Mille, pero en un chasis semi-carenado, con una ergonomía más humana y un enfoque de "streetfighter" de altas prestaciones. 6. BMW C1 (2000). Empezamos el nuevo milenio con un concepto revolucionario. Mientras todos pensaban en cómo hacer el casco más seguro, BMW se preguntó: ¿y si hacemos una moto que no requiera usar casco? 7. BMW F 650 CS Scarver (2002). BMW quiso romper moldes en 2002 y atraer a un público joven y urbano con la F 650 CS Scarver. Tenía soluciones geniales: transmisión por correa dentada limpia y sin mantenimiento, un falso depósito que era un hueco multifuncional para llevar desde un casco a una mochila específica o un equipo de música... 8. Yamaha MT-01 (2005). ¿Qué obtienes si metes el gigantesco motor V-Twin de 1.670 cm3 dentro de una especie una custom cruiser con un chasis de aluminio de moto deportiva? Obtienes la Yamaha MT-01. No era una custom, no era una naked, no era una deportiva. 9. Suzuki B-King (2007). Presentada como un prototipo en 2001, la B-King levantó una expectación desmedida. Cuando finalmente llegó a producción en 2007, lo hizo con el motor de la todopoderosa Hayabusa de 1.340 cm3 con más de 180 CV. 10. Aprilia Mana 850 (2008). Una moto automática. Solo con decir eso en 2008, muchos se llevaban las manos a la cabeza. La Aprilia Mana 850 montaba un cambio CVT, similar al de un scooter, pero con la posibilidad de usarlo en modo secuencial con 7 "marchas" que se podían cambiar desde la piña o el pedal. 11. Suzuki GSX650F (2008). En el mismo año que la Mana, en un mercado obsesionado con las super-sport, a Suzuki se le ocurrió una idea brillante y lógica: partir su superventas, la fiable y robusta Bandit 650, y vestirla con un carenado integral inspirado en las GSX-R. El resultado fue la GSX650F. Una moto con estética deportiva pero con la comodidad, el bajo mantenimiento y el precio de una naked. 12. Honda DN-01 (2008). Si la Aprilia Mana fue un atrevimiento, la Honda DN-01 fue… más de lo mismo. Honda la denominó "Human-Friendly Transmission" y era una mezcla de conceptos nunca antes vista. Tenía la estética de una moto manga futurista, la postura de una custom y un innovador cambio hidrostático completamente automático. 12+1. Harley-Davidson XR1200 (2009). Era, de lejos, la Harley más deportiva y eficaz en curvas jamás creada. ¿Qué pasó? Los “harlistas” tradicionales no la consideraban una "auténtica Harley" por su enfoque deportivo, y el público europeo que buscaba deportividad la seguía viendo demasiado pesada y poco potente comparada con las naked europeas o japonesas. Se quedó en un limbo que la convirtió en una incomprendida. Conclusión. ¿Qué os ha parecido nuestra selección? Ha sido motos que se atrevieron a ser diferentes, a proponer nuevas soluciones y a desafiar las convenciones de su época. Quizás si hubieran salido en otro momento, su historia habría sido muy diferente. Precisamente su fracaso comercial las ha convertido, con el tiempo, en auténticas piezas de culto. Y ahora te toca a ti. ¿Qué otra moto crees que fue una incomprendida? ¿Tuviste alguna de estas?

BUFFALO, NY — November 5, 2025 — A new #research paper was #published in Volume 17, Issue 10 of Aging-US on September 10, 2025, titled “Longitudinal associations of epigenetic aging with cognitive aging in Hispanic/Latino adults from the Hispanic Community Health Study/Study of Latinos.” In this study led by Myriam Fornage, from The University of Texas Health Science Center at Houston, researchers found that faster biological aging, measured by DNA-based epigenetic clocks, is associated with greater cognitive decline and higher risk of mild cognitive impairment (MCI) in Hispanic/Latino adults. The results highlight the potential of epigenetic clocks to track changes in brain health over time, helping improve early detection and monitoring of age-related cognitive problems. Cognitive decline and dementia are major public health concerns, especially among aging populations. In this study, researchers followed 2671 Hispanic/Latino adults (average age 57; 66% women) over a seven-year period. They measured each participant's biological age using epigenetic clocks and assessed their cognitive performance at two time points. “We evaluated the associations of 5 epigenetic clocks and their between-visit change with multiple measures of cognitive aging that included a global and domain-specific cognitive function score at each visit, between-visit change in global and domain-specific cognitive function score, and MCI diagnosis at visit 2 (V2).” Epigenetic clocks estimate biological age based on DNA chemical modifications, called methylation, that accumulate with age. The study evaluated five different clocks, including newer models like GrimAge and DunedinPACE, which are designed to more accurately reflect health-related aging. The researchers found that individuals with faster biological aging showed lower cognitive function and higher probability of developing MCI over time. Among the five clocks studied, newer models such as GrimAge and DunedinPACE showed the strongest associations with memory, processing speed, and overall brain health. These findings suggest that tracking changes in biological age over time may be more effective than relying on a single measurement to identify those at risk for cognitive impairment. Importantly, the associations between biological aging and cognitive decline remained significant even after accounting for other known risk factors such as education, language preference, and cardiovascular health. This supports the idea that epigenetic clocks capture unique biological processes that influence brain aging. The study also found that the impact of changes in biological age over time was comparable to that of APOE4, a well-established genetic risk factor for Alzheimer's disease. Overall, this is the first large-scale study to examine these associations in a Hispanic/Latino population, a group that is underrepresented in aging research. By identifying early biological signs of brain aging, this work highlights the potential of epigenetic clocks as tools for routine health assessments. Monitoring changes in these biological markers could help detect individuals at risk for cognitive decline and guide timely interventions to preserve brain health.

CEO Phil Trapkin's journey to creating BlissTrax started over two decades ago with his personal discovery: syncing music to his running pace significantly elevated his workouts. This early experience in marrying rhythm with movement was the seed. The idea fully came to life when he was later introduced to the concept of binaural beats, leading to the insight that sound technology could be engineered to guide the brain into specific states while the body is active. BlissTrax was born from the desire to offer a simple, accessible tool for stress relief that doesn't require users to sit still.

Text your thoughts and questions!Are you struggling to support the men in your life—your husband, sons, partner, or father—who feel the pressure to be strong, stoic, and silent? Do you watch them struggle, knowing the cultural expectation to suck it up keeps them from seeking the help they need?

Ben Alarie spent 8 years building Blue J with "partial product market fit"—real customers, real revenue, but no real market pull. Then he made a bet that would either kill the company or 10x it: he put the existing product in maintenance mode and gave his team 6 months to rebuild everything from scratch using a technology that barely worked.Two years later, Blue J went from $2M to $25M in ARR. They're adding 10 new customers every single day. NPS went from 20 to 84.This isn't a story about getting lucky. It's about a founder who knew—with absolute conviction—that the market would eventually arrive, and made sure he was ready when it did.

Text your thoughts and questions!The relentless pursuit of productivity has a dark side: the pervasive and false belief that our worth is directly tied to our output. Too many of us are trapped in this cycle, feeling intense guilt whenever we rest or worry that slowing down makes us "lazy." This toxic belief system, relentlessly reinforced by hustle culture and outdated capitalist conditioning, is the most direct road to burnout and emotional exhaustion. This week on the Positively LivingⓇ Podcast, I debunk the idea that “productivity is dangerous” by identifying what the danger actually is and help you cultivate a shame-free productivity approach that deeply honors your energy, values, and genuine need for restoration. In this episode of the Positively LivingⓇ Podcast, I'm dismantling the traditional, harmful ideas of productivity, exposing dangerous mindset traps, and giving you actionable steps to take right now to redefine productivity to be used as a sustainable, supportive tool. I cover the following topics:Three dangerous mindset traps that have us using productivity against ourselves. Why traditional, rigid productivity models are harmful, especially for caregivers, chronically ill, and neurodivergent individuals. How to shift your perspective to view productivity as a flexible tool that supports your life.You deserve to rest simply because you are human… not because you've "earned" it. If the pursuit of being productive is making you miserable, it's time to change the rules. Choose to let go of the inherited mindset that's keeping you stuck and start building a shame-free, compassionate productivity system that truly supports your life.Learn more about Positively LivingⓇ and Lisa at https://positivelyproductive.com/podcast/Stop trying to fit into someone else's productivity rules!

Die LA-Singer-Songwriterin Aimee Mann schaut genau hin und findet perfekte Reime für ihre oft traurigen Geschichten. Diese sind jedoch nie destruktiv, sondern voller Hoffnung und lakonischem Trost. Die 65-jährige Mann hat eine loyale Fangemeinde, zu der unter anderem auch Prominente wie Michelle und Barack Obama sowie zahlreiche Musikerinnen und Künstler gehören. Kritiker loben ihr Werk, kommerziell erfolgreich ist sie jedoch nie – wohl auch, weil sie sich früh abseits vom Musikbusiness eigene Wege ging. Für ihr Schaffen lässt sie sich viel Zeit: in 30 Jahren hat Mann 10 Alben veröffentlicht. Ihre Songs sind originell und detailverliebt arrangiert und bleiben so lange Zeit im Gedächtnis hängen. Chris Weber, Tontechniker bei SRF, Musiker und Singer-Songwriter, erzählt im Gespräch mit Annina Salis, warum ihn Aimee Mann als «Gesamtpaket» so inspiriert.

Text your thoughts and questions!So many of us find ourselves in an all too familiar cycle: we create the perfect self-care plan, only to have it completely derailed by the unpredictability of life. Whether it's an urgent deadline, a sick family member, or a sudden change in plans, our carefully crafted intentions fall apart, once again putting self-care on the back burner. The problem? We put too much focus on having a plan when we should shift our attention to getting the right systems in place. This week on the Positively LivingⓇ Podcast, I'm unpacking how you can make the critical shift from a rigid self-care plan to a flexible, resilient self-care system. In this episode of the Positively LivingⓇ Podcast, I'm sharing the important distinction between plans and systems, why our plans often fail, and actionable steps to take right now to create a framework that makes self-care a sustainable, non-negotiable part of your life.I cover the following topics:The difference between plans (static & rigid) and systems (dynamic & flexible).How willpower and decision fatigue hold us back from making self-care a priority. Creating a “minimum viable” self-care routine for low-energy days.The four elements of a self-care system that work.If you've struggled to stick with self-care, it's not because you're flawed or lazy. It's because plans alone aren't enough. It's time to build a system that supports you not just on the good days, but on the hard ones too.Ready to take action?

Text your thoughts and questions!Have you ever had a day where you checked everything off of your to-do list but still felt unfulfilled? It's a common conundrum (and a major source of frustration and burnout) to feel busy but not truly productive. This week on the Positively LivingⓇ Podcast, I'm diving head first into this issue. I reveal two types of productivity that, when they are both honored, can transform how you approach your work and life.In this episode of the Positively LivingⓇ Podcast, I'm exploring the two types of productivity: functional and emotional, encouraging you to challenge the traditional, functional-first approach to productivity and give you actionable steps you can take right now to integrate emotional productivity to make you feel like you're truly living… beyond the to-do list.I cover the following topics:The difference between functional and emotional productivity. Why we as a culture undervalue and dismiss emotional productivity. Using emotional productivity as a powerful strategy for preventing burnout. Practical steps and simple habits to build emotional productivity. Let this be a reminder that productivity isn't just about what you do but about how you feel while you're doing it. When you honor both your functional and emotional productivity needs, you create a life that has both momentum and meaning.Thank you for listening!

Text your thoughts and questions!If you're feeling constantly on edge or overwhelmed by life's demands, you're not alone, and your nervous system might be the reason why! Think of the nervous system as your body's communication highway, with messages on what to think, feel, and do traveling at hyper speed. On one side, you have your body's "fight or flight" response, known as the sympathetic nervous system, and its essential counterpart, the "rest and digest" parasympathetic nervous system. Both sides are equally important and, when able to balance one another out, are the key to living a healthier, more productive life! In this episode of the Positively LivingⓇ Podcast, I'm talking about why you must support your nervous system for a healthier, more productive life!In this episode of the Positively LivingⓇ Podcast, I'm sharing the vital role your nervous system plays as your body's “central command center” and giving you actionable steps to take right now to regulate yourself, breaking the cycle of stress and burnout.I cover the following topics:Differences between the sympathetic (“fight or flight”) and parasympathetic (“rest and digest”) systems.The physical, mental, and emotional signs of nervous system overload and its impact on your health and relationships.The connection between chronic stress, health issues, and burnout.Five powerful practices to support your nervous system.Remember: Supporting your nervous system doesn't require a complete life overhaul.

On pourrait penser qu'avec les moyens colossaux du IIIᵉ Reich et l'avance initiale de la science allemande, Hitler aurait pu mettre la main sur l'arme nucléaire. Pourtant, le projet n'a jamais abouti. Plusieurs raisons l'expliquent :1. Une science allemande affaiblie par le nazismeAvant 1933, l'Allemagne était une puissance scientifique majeure, avec des physiciens comme Einstein, Born ou Hahn. Mais l'arrivée au pouvoir des nazis bouleverse tout : les chercheurs juifs ou opposants fuient le pays. Résultat : une fuite des cerveaux vers les États-Unis et la Grande-Bretagne, qui vont nourrir plus tard le projet Manhattan.2. Une mauvaise orientation des recherchesLe régime nazi lance bien un programme nucléaire dès 1939, confié à Werner Heisenberg, grand physicien théorique. Mais l'équipe se disperse, les crédits sont insuffisants, et l'armée privilégie d'autres armes considérées comme plus efficaces à court terme (V2, chars, avions à réaction). Le nucléaire semble trop complexe, trop long à développer.3. Le problème de l'uranium et du plutoniumPour fabriquer une bombe, il faut soit de l'uranium 235 enrichi, soit du plutonium. L'Allemagne disposait de gisements d'uranium, notamment en Tchécoslovaquie, mais elle n'avait pas les capacités industrielles pour enrichir le minerai à grande échelle. Quant aux réacteurs expérimentaux, ils n'ont jamais atteint la masse critique nécessaire.4. Des erreurs stratégiques et théoriquesCertains historiens estiment qu'Heisenberg lui-même n'avait pas compris toutes les conditions nécessaires à la réaction en chaîne. Il pensait qu'il faudrait plusieurs tonnes d'uranium enrichi pour déclencher l'explosion, alors que quelques kilos suffisent. Cette erreur de calcul a contribué à faire croire que la bombe était hors de portée.5. Le poids du tempsEnfin, la guerre allait trop vite. Entre 1942 et 1944, l'Allemagne se bat sur plusieurs fronts et doit consacrer ses ressources à l'urgence militaire. Le projet nucléaire, très coûteux et incertain, passe au second plan. Pendant ce temps, les États-Unis, protégés par leur distance géographique et dotés de moyens financiers et industriels gigantesques, avancent à marche forcée vers Hiroshima et Nagasaki.ConclusionHitler n'a jamais eu la bombe atomique parce que son régime a affaibli la science allemande, négligé l'investissement massif nécessaire, commis des erreurs techniques… et surtout manqué de temps. L'Allemagne a préféré miser sur des armes “miracles” plus rapides à produire, comme les V2, mais sans comprendre que la véritable révolution militaire de la Seconde Guerre mondiale se jouait ailleurs : dans les laboratoires de Los Alamos.

Text your thoughts and questions!Prioritizing tasks is a common challenge for so many of us, especially those of us who are neurodiverse and often struggle with competing demands, fluctuating energy, and the constant pull of urgency. Maybe you're staring at a mountain of tasks where everything feels important and you have no idea where to begin. But what if, by exploring your unique tendencies, you can quiet the noise, sort through the chaos, and tackle what truly matters?In this episode of the Positively LivingⓇ Podcast, I explore four popular methods to prioritize tasks effectively, breaking down the pros and cons of each to help you figure out which method fits you best.I cover the following topics:Why prioritization is essential for conserving mental energy, reducing stress, and achieving meaningful goals. Reviewing four prioritization systems: the Eisenhower Matrix, Eat the Frog, MITs, and the A, B, C Method. A bonus, alternative energy-based prioritization method to align tasks with your natural productivity rhythms. Tips for experimenting with different methods, pairing them with your unique tendencies, and checking in on how they make you feel. By finding the right prioritization system for your season of life, you can reclaim your focus and intentionally choose what matters most.

Text your thoughts and questions!Mindfulness sounds great in theory, but sometimes it can feel like just another "should" on your to-do list—something that is too difficult or time-consuming to actually do. (And you might feel guilty for not even trying). This resistance, known as productive "friction”, keeps us from building habits that can significantly boost our happiness and well-being.In this episode of the Positively LivingⓇ Podcast, I break down the science and show you how simple and effective mindfulness can be. I share how to use everyday habits you already have as "mindfulness anchors," turning your morning coffee, a shower, or a daily walk into a powerful practice that reshapes your brain for the better. I cover the following topics:The surprising brain science behind mindfulness, including how it can physically rewire your brain to be happier and more resilient.Why traditional meditation practices can create a "friction problem" that makes us less likely to build the habit.How to use habit stacking to anchor mindfulness to routines you already have, making it simple and sustainable.Practical examples of how to practice mindfulness with your five senses during everyday moments like drinking coffee or showering.How practicing mindfulness can double as a gratitude practice, boosting your well-being with minimal effort.Mindfulness doesn't require a perfect environment or a new app—it just requires a moment of awareness. The best time to practice is in the moments you're already living.Thank you for listening!

Text your thoughts and questions!Have you ever dismissed a small step because it feels like it won't make a difference, or felt discouraged when you don't see immediate results? We live in a culture that glorifies big leaps and instant success, but the truth is, lasting change is built through the small, consistent choices we make every day. The biggest mistake is undervaluing these small actions, often quitting right before the magic happens.In this episode of the Positively LivingⓇ Podcast, I dive into the power of small steps and why they create big, lasting change. I share insights from foundational productivity books like The Slight Edge and Atomic Habits, and give you four simple steps to embrace consistency, build new habits, and trust the process.I cover the following topics:How cultural pressure for instant gratification makes us dismiss small steps and leads us to quit before we see results.The science behind why our brains favor bad habits that offer instant rewards, while good habits with delayed benefits feel like so much work.How the "compound effect" means that small, consistent actions accumulate into dramatically different outcomes over time, for better or for worse.Four actionable steps to embrace small steps: reframing what "small" means, celebrating small wins, focusing on your identity, and using habit stacking.My personal story of learning to play guitar to illustrate how small, consistent practice leads to significant skill acquisition over time.Don't let the simplicity of a small step fool you. The small choice you make today is shaping your future self. What will your first small step be?Thank you for listening!

Text your thoughts and questions!Does the thought of change—whether planned or unexpected—fill you with fear and a sense of paralysis? We all naturally resist change and the uncertainty it brings, often feeling like it is easier to not move at all than to make a mistake. But what if change and uncertainty were actually opportunities for growth, resilience, and personal transformation?In this episode of the Positively LivingⓇ Podcast, I revisit this essential topic to give you simple, actionable ways to navigate change with more confidence and curiosity. Drawing from my own experiences as a podcast host, entrepreneur, and caregiver, I share five ways to manage your relationship with change so it does not derail you, but instead helps you move forward.I cover the following topics:How to reframe change as an opportunity for growth, even when it feels negative.The importance of focusing on what you can control, like your mindset and self-care, when so much feels uncertain.Why you should approach change in small, manageable steps to build momentum and allow yourself time to adapt.How to build and use a strong support system to help you through periods of uncertainty and hardship.The power of practicing self-compassion to stay resilient and keep moving forward through missteps and discomfort.Change and uncertainty are inevitable, but they do not have to derail you. You have adapted before, and you will again. Which of these strategies will you take to heart today?Thank you for listening!

Hedra CEO Michael Lingelbach breaks down how his generative video app went from zero to millions of users and an eight-figure run rate in months — then deliberately slowed down to rebuild a V2 that enterprises would pay for. We dig into the prosumer-to-pro upsell, why free users are a false signal, and how a creator-seeded launch can outpull ad spend. Michael shares the GTM that signs enterprise contracts every few days with no outbound, the exact moment he killed feature churn to ship a real workflow, and what to hire (and fire) in the first 10 people. If you're building AI or any early product, this is a must-listen blueprint on getting from hype to revenue.Why You Should ListenHow Hedra hit an 8-figure run rate in months — with a prosumer → enterprise wedgeThe “free user” trap: why signups ≠ demand and how to price for painWhen to pause growth to build V2 that actually sells (workflow > tech demo)A creator-led launch playbook that drives virality without paid influencersHiring early: bring in a talent lead fast, staff for speed, survive co-founder changesKeywordsAI video, generative AI, product market fit, Hedra, Michael Lingelbach, creator tools, PLG, enterprise SaaS, go to market, startup growth00:00:00 Intro00:02:25 Why he built his own proprietary models00:10:19 Target use cases faceless channels marketers podcasts00:15:31 Early hiring lessons00:38:00 Free vs paid00:51:03 V2 launch and shift to enterprise 00:53:46 Hitting eight figure run rate and scaling GTMSend me a message to let me know what you think!

What's the Latest on The Feeling Great App? Featuring Jason Meno and Adam Holman  Adam Holman and his loving cat! The featured photo is Jason Meno, also a cat lover! Today we focus on a number of exciting updates in the Feeling Great app, and are delighted to be joined by our esteemed colleagues, Jason Meno and Adam Holman who have recently created and launched to new V2 version of the Feeling Great chatbot, which includes greatly increased horsepower, in terms of rapid and dramatic reductions in 7 negative feelings, including feelings of depression, anxiety, guilt / shame, inadequacy, loneliness, hopelessness / discouragement, and anger. The latest data indicates reductions of more than 60% in all of these feelings within the first 90 minutes of chatbot use in most new users, and more than 70% reductions in repeat uses in the same amount of time. This is absolutely phenomenal and far surpasses my expectations 50 years ago when I first imagined and visualized this app. In addition, the new version of the app also causes fairly dramatic increases in seven positive feelings at the same time--a highly desirable feature that was lacking in most previous versions of the app. Jason and Adam also described a number of exciting, user-friendly features like two-way verbal communication with the app so you no longer have to type your dialogues (although you can if you prefer that mode.) Another new feature is long term memory, so the bot will remember you and be able to summarize your previous sessions, and more. In addition, to illustrate exactly HOW the app works, we did a live demonstration with Jason, who has been struggling with several of his negative thoughts, like "This app might not reach the hundred of millions of people around the world who need it." His belief in this thought was 80%, and the thought triggered strong feelings of hopelessness, sadness, guilt, anxiety, frustration, anger, and inadequacy.  This is a valid concern since we must rapidly boost sales if we hope to break even and stay in business, We tried a number of methods that weren't effective, following the app's philosophy of 'failing as fast as we can," including Positive Reframing and Paradoxical Magnification, that did not help at all. In fact, Positive Reframing simply triggered increased resistance. Then we tried a method that has been really helpful for Jason in the past, Externalization of Resistance, and he was able to successfully challenge all the really GOOD reasons to cling to his negative thoughts. At the end, his belief in the thought was reduced from 80% to 20%, which was satisfactory to Jason as he said that some worrying is realistic and keeps him on his toes continually adding amazing new features to the app. If you've been struggling with low self-esteem or negative feelings or low self-esteem, you might want to check the latest version of the Feeling Great app. You can take a free ride and check it out. You've got absolutely nothing to lose but a couple hours of your time, and a life of greater joy and happiness to gain. Rhonda, Jason, Adam, and I appreciate all of you, and thank you for joining us today!
