Overprikkeling is heel persoonlijk en vaak onzichtbaar. Met het project Hersenschimmen; praten over prikkels proberen onderzoekers van Universiteit Utrecht en de Hersenstichting het onbegrip rond overprikkeling weg te nemen en het onderwerp beter bespreekbaar te maken tussen mensen die het zelf ervaren en hun omgeving. Ze doen dat op een bijzondere manier: via beelden die met behulp van generatieve AI worden gemaakt.In deze aflevering spreekt Suzanne met Mark Bos, die als universitair docent en onderzoeker aan de Universiteit Utrecht is verbonden aan dit project en gespecialiseerd is in visuele wetenschapscommunicatie. Ze praten over de kracht van beelden en hoe die helpen om de beleving van overprikkeling zichtbaar te maken. Wat laten de gegenereerde beelden van overprikkeling zien en hoe worden de beelden gebruikt, bijvoorbeeld als gespreksstarter met een behandelaar, partner of leidinggevende?Luister mee want overprikkeling zit niet alleen “tussen je oren”, behalve dan letterlijk.Praten over prikkels is een NWO gesubsidieerd project van Universiteit Utrecht, de Hersenstichting, MedIT Solutions B.V. en het UMU en de VSC.Wil je zelf een beeld genereren van overprikkeling?

VSC speaks about the annual breakfast and service fair at UT on Tuesday. Doors open at 8a for breakfast followed by a resource fair with over 40 vendoars. 

Menneenä viikonloppuna ajettiin Meksikossa ja Austininkin viikonloppu oli sekä meni. Lando Norris dominoi koko Meksikon viikonlopun siirtyen MM-sarjan johtoon. Kisassa muisteltiin myös, että F1 tosiaan on kilvanajosarja ja kilpailu myös päättyi täyteen pannukakkuun. Koko kolmikko Juuso, Teemu ja Elli pohtivat näiden lisäksi, kuka MM-sarjan tulee voittamaan.Tämä on Suomen F1 Podcast - tervetuloa mukaan!02:02- Rovanperä siirtyy Super Formuloihin - mitä se tekee rallin MM-sarjalle? 17:16- Meksikon viikonlopun läpileikkaus 21:22- Ferrarin positiivinen välähdys aika-ajoissa 26:33- Carlos Sainz jatkaa hyvää putkeaan - Williamsin yhteishenki28:56- Haas viime vuosien lukujen pohjalta30:45- Paska, paskempi, Alpine32:00- Kilpailun ensimmäisten mutkien kilvanajo41:48- Päiväkodista karannut taapero nimeltä George Russell47:50- Antonellin tulokasvuosi ja tulevaisuus49:37- Kilpailun loppu VSC:n varjoissa56:12- Kuka lopulta voittaa maailmanmestaruuden? 01:01:17- Tuukka Taposen tulevaisuusOtathan seurantaan myös: TikTok @suomenf1podInstagram, Threads & X @suomenf1podcast

¡Vótame en los Premios iVoox 2025! El Gran Premio de México fue un espejo perfecto de la actual temporada de Fórmula 1: impredecible, estratégica y con una nueva jerarquía en la parrilla. Lo que en años anteriores habría sido un dominio aplastante de Red Bull se transformó en un escenario donde McLaren impuso su ritmo, Ferrari volvió a brillar y Verstappen tuvo que conformarse con perseguir. De todo esto se habla en el segundo programa de la semana del Podcast Técnica Fórmula 1. Primero Norris y después Piastri. Aparte del cambio de líder en el Mundial – eso sí, por un solo punto – lo mejor de todo fue ver el resurgir de McLaren en las manos de Norris, y en la cara también en las de Piastri. Pero no sólo hubo McLaren en la carrera, de hecho, fue lo que menos se vio e interesó: tuvimos bastante polémica con las acciones en el GP, con los fuera pista, que habrá que se comentan y se aclaran en el programa. Red Bull trajo aquí un buen paquete de mejoras, pero no parece haber rendido como se esperaba. Y por si había pocos ingredientes ahora surge la caterva conspiranoica para asegurar que McLaren privilegia a Norris frente al líder del Mundial, como si el equipo fuera inglés hoy en día y quisiera que ganara un piloto inglés… Hay mucho público que no sabe de qué van las carreras y es normal este tipo de afirmaciones, por otro lado. Los españoles acabaron KO, con sendos abandonos, pero es lo que hay ahora mismo. Lo mejor de la carrera… y nos lo cortan. Aparte de la salida, que ya se ha comentado, con 4 pilotos en paralelo y con salidas de pista, sanciones y no sanciones, lo mejor fue el final. No para ver al ganador – que terminó más de medio minuto por delante del segundo – sino para ver las luchas justo por detrás. La persecución final de Verstappen a Leclerc y el duelo entre Piastri y Bearman, así como la caballerosidad de los pilotos de Mercedes entre ellos, dieron al público un espectáculo digno de las grandes citas. Pero ese espectáculo se quedó deslucido a dos vueltas del final, cuando dirección de carrera sacó un VSC debido al problema que tuvo Sainz en el coche, que le obligó a pararlo. Lo que nos espera. Nos quedan 4 citas de este Campeonato y, afortunadamente, llegamos sin saber aún quién será el ganador del Mundial de Pilotos. Norris parece haber recuperado la compostura y la sangre fría… o se las ha robado a su compañero. Verstappen hace lo que puede donde puede, pero está claro que va a luchar hasta la última oportunidad que tenga. La realidad es que, si creíamos que este año iba a ser un aburrido paseo de McLaren, nada más lejos de la realidad, estamos teniendo una temporada que, a pesar de no haber igualdad entre los equipos, nos está dando una diversión enorme por la igualdad de los pilotos. Ojalá el año próximo, con la nueva reglamentación, sea tan sólo parecido. Escucha el episodio completo en la app de iVoox, o descubre todo el catálogo de iVoox Originals

Track limits, leaving the track and gaining an advantage, causing a collision, not leaving space at apexes, marshals on track with cars at full speed, contentious VSC on the penultimate lap, maybe at some point we'll get some racing in? The Mexican Grand Prix this year wasn't the best day for F1 race direction and the ever rotating cast of stewards. Amongst all the controversy we still got one of the best races of the season with battles going on all the way down the grid, even Lance Stroll managed to get a clean overtake in (if that doesn't say it's the end of days, I don't know what does.) And through all that, the 3 way battle for the championship is still going on and going down to the wire.This week on the podcast we look back at the Mexican Grand Prix where Lando Norris managed to re-take the lead in the Word Driver's Championship for the first time since before the Suadi Arabian GP, after a very off the boil start to the weekend for team-mate and rival Oscar Piastri. But you can't forget the looming shadow of Max Vertappen, who is still up there too.As always there's some attempts at predictions for how the rest of the season is going to pan out as we've still got 4 races and 2 sprints to go and it's really anyone's guess as to who is going to walk away with the 2025 crown. Doesn't stop us having a go though!Also, sorry for missing last week after the US GP, but we were victims of the Amazon outage last Monday and it took until Wednesday to get things recovered properlyAnd if you want to join in with the chat during the races (along with practice and qualifying) head over to our Discord where there's always a great crowd of people to watch along with.

On the face of it, a Lando Norris/McLaren-Mercedes walkover - and a straightforward race - seemed inevitable.  In reality, the 2025 Mexican GP was anything but. It produced stunning drives not only from Lando but also from Max Verstappen, Charles Leclerc and Oliver Bearman. It included a dramatically-spectacular first corner melée. And it created, one-on-one, a Max-versus-Charles, Red Bull-versus-Ferrari, soft Pirelli-versus-Hard Pirelli closing battle for P2 that...ended in a VSC. It had almost everything, in other words - as Peter Windsor describes in this podcast. The action begins on Friday, continues with a special Mark Slade interview after free practice and Saturday and concludes with the race on Sunday.With thanks to Jetcraft, the world's largest buyer and seller of executive jets:https://jetcraft.comTo OEM Exclusive, the passionate suppliers of OEM upgrades for exotic and high-performance vehiclesTo TrackNinja, a lap-timer and data app designed to help users improve their on-track car and driver performance through analysis and an innovative Data Garage.

McLaren lo ha conseguido, su piloto favorito vuelve a ser líder del Mundial de Fórmula 1 tras ganar la carrera de México. Lando Norris adelanta a Piastri por 1 solo punto, pero el problema es que Max Verstappen está todavía más cerca. Para los españoles, Alonso y Sainz, fue una carrera para olvidar, con dos abandonos por problemas técnicos. Carlos, por cierto, fue el inesperado protagonista del final de la carrera, provocando un VSC que dejó sin efecto dos interesantes luchas en pista. Gracias por escucharnos y ¡¡Keep Pushing!!

¡Vótame en los Premios iVoox 2025! Concluye el Gran Premio de México y, la verdad, es para estar contentos. Con un fin de semana realmente interesante, divertido, polémico, lleno de acción y cambios de guion, el Podcast Técnica Fórmula 1 da buena cuenta de lo que fue uno de los Grandes Premios más esperados de la temporada… aunque sólo sea por la intro. Los ingredientes que nos hacen vibrar. Desde la clasificación ya tuvimos una buena dosis de emoción, con una pole tremenda de Norris, Piastri desaparecido, los Ferrari apareciendo de la nada y con Verstappen más diluido. El domingo la carrera tuvo absolutamente de todo: una salida de infarto y polémica, adelantamientos, persecuciones, luchas, estrategias. ¡Al final, hemos tenido cambio de líder del Mundial por un solo punto!! Norris lidera delante de la Piastri por la mínima y también Ferrari supera en la segunda posición de Constructores a Mercedes por un punto. Verstappen sigue recortando, pero en menor medida. Aunque hay que tener en cuenta que el equipo lo lleva, casi él solo sobre sus hombros. La salida lo dijo todo. El domingo, cuando se apagaron las luces, .a primera curva fue un hervidero: cuatro coches en paralelo con Verstappen, los Ferrari y Norris luchando por la punta. El campeón del mundo llegó a salirse de pista y solo devolvió posición a los Ferrari, dejando fuera del intercambio a Russell, lo que levantó una ola de controversias sin sanción posterior. Entre tanto, Bearman protagonizó una salida impresionante, escalando tres posiciones hasta la sexta plaza, que luego sería la cuarta, donde terminó la carrera, conteniendo a Piastri. McLaren vuelve a demostrar porqué con Campeones. McLaren volvió a demostrar consistencia, al menos con Norris, quien dominó desde la cabeza y terminó más de medio minuto por delante del segundo (Leclerc). Piastri volvió a estar perdido, hasta casi el final de la carrera, pero el último VSC salvó la cuarta posición de Bearman, que el muchacho se merecía, la verdad. En cualquier caso, el GP de México deja una sensación clara: la Fórmula 1 vive un momento dorado de igualdad, emoción y tensión competitiva, si olvidamos el medio minutos de ventaja de Norris. McLaren ha renacido, Ferrari ha regresado al juego y Red Bull da mucho espectáculo, al igual que los Mercedes, cuando el circuito lo permite. A falta de pocas carreras, el título se decidirá por detalles… y por la sangre fría de los pilotos. Norris parece que la ha recuperado.

LANDO NORRIS DANCES THE CUCARACHA IN MEXICO! MAX GETS THE "NO WAY JOSE" ON LECLERC, GEORGE GETS A LITTLE EXCITED, THE VIRTUAL SAFETY CAR WAS TOTALLY BOGUS!! AND PIASTRI NO LONGER LEADS THE CHAMPIONSHIP. NASIR HAMEED CORNER HAS... ESTEBAN GUTIERREZ, ANTONIO PIZZONIA AND TEAM OWNER TREVOR CARLIN. GRACIAS.   MEXICO CITY, MEXICO - OCTOBER 26: Lewis Hamilton of Great Britain driving the (44) Scuderia Ferrari SF-25 Charles Leclerc of Monaco driving the (16) Scuderia Ferrari SF-25 and Max Verstappen of the Netherlands driving the (1) Oracle Red Bull Racing RB21 battle for track position at the start during the F1 Grand Prix of Mexico at Autodromo Hermanos Rodriguez on October 26, 2025 in Mexico City, Mexico. (Photo by Clive Rose/Getty Images) Orcale Red Bull Racing's Max Verstappen drove a battling race from fifth on the grid to secure thid place in the Mexican Grand Prix at the Autódromo Hermanos Rodríguez, finishing just 0.725s behind second place as he fought all the way to the chequered flag in his hunt for more points in the 2025 Drivers' Championship fight. Starting fifth, Verstappen made a fast start, but ran wide in Turn 1 as he tried to thread his way into the top three. The Dutchman recovered quickly and fought hard to put his RB21 on the podium as McLaren driver Lando Norris drove to a comfortable win. Verstappen's late race charge to catch runner-up Charles Leclerc came down to the very last lap of the race, but the Ferrari driver just held on by 0.725s to leave Verstappen third. In the race for the 2025 Driver's Championship Verstappen gained more ground on the two McLaren drivers ahead of him however. Norris overtook team-mate Oscar Piastri to assume the championship lead by a single point on 357, but Verstappen closed the gap from 40 points to 36 with just four races now remaining. Team-mate Yuki Tsunoda just missed the points in 11th place, losing a position from his starting slot on the grid, while Visa Cash App Racing Bulls saw only Isack Hadjar finish in 13th after Liam Lawson suffered a DNF after just five laps onf the Grand Prix. LANDO:  “I could just keep my eyes focused, I could just keep eyes forward and just focus on what I was doing. “A pretty straightforward race for me, which is just what I was after. Good start, good launch, good first lap and I could go from there.” “This is awesome here... this is unbelievable. My first win here in Mexico, a beautiful one to win, especially here in the stadium. A big thanks to all the fans.”myself, I keep my head down, I ignore all of this [noise] and I keep to myself. It's working at the minute, so I'm happy.” GEORGE: That was a frustrating afternoon. At the start, three drivers cut over the grass at turn one and either kept or gained positions without penalty. I stayed on the track but lost out, unfortunately. That also happened when Lewis (Hamilton) and Max (Verstappen) were battling; when the Red Bull came back on the track, I had to take avoiding action, go off track, and lost several positions myself. Those two moments were ultimately the undoing of our race. From there, it was difficult being stuck in a train of cars and in particular, with the dirty air. We inverted the cars to try and maximise the team result but ultimately we just didn't have the pace to fight our way forward. We've got four races to go and need to regain some momentum if we are to emerge ahead in the battle for second in the Constructors' Championship. We're relishing that fight and looking forward to Brazil. FERNANDO: "It was a difficult race for me, and we've struggled for pace all weekend. We had a good start but then there was some contact which caused minor damage to the front wing. I was also surprised to see a few cars cutting the corner at the start, jumping ahead of us and not getting penalties. Unfortunately, about halfway through the race we had to retire the car as a precaution. Hopefully we can have more luck in the future." MAX: “I didn't expect to be on the podium today, it was quite eventful at the beginning and I had a good start. However, I went into the kerb, started bottoming out, avoided the wall by going on the grass and got back on to the track. It was quite hectic and the grip wasn't there on the Medium tyre, we quickly realised it wasn't a great tyre and tried to extend on it as much as we could. As soon as I was on the Soft tyre it felt better and we were more competitive. We did the perfect strategy, really optimised the final stint and I was enjoying it. At the end with the virtual safety car, it was unfortunate timing but sometimes it works for you and sometimes it doesn't and that is just racing, but it would have been an exciting finish. I have said before that we need everything to go perfectly for the rest of the season and it wasn't perfect this weekend, so we will just need to continue optimising our performance as much as we can. However, even with a difficult weekend, to still be on the podium is a great result. We need to analyse everything and see what we can do better to come back stronger: it will be tough but we will give it everything that we can.” LAURENT: “Well done to the whole Team for never giving up on a weekend when we have been struggling a bit more than we wanted with the car. Everyone pushed hard to get to a better place and the support we got from Milton Keynes and here trackside was very strong. It was never quite enough to fight for the win here but allowed us to get another important podium with Max. His drive made the strategy work very well for us, so very well done to the strategy team because we committed to a difficult one-stop while starting on a very tricky Medium tyre, his second stint was mega, he didn't let the pace drop and what he managed to extract from the car was what we needed to make the race work. He was taking six to seven tenths out of Charles per lap and we would have had a proper fight in the last few laps without the VSC. It is part of the game, we don't control the VSC, and it's cost us a nice battle to watch and perhaps a few points. The pace from Yuki was also fast today, especially his first stint on the Medium.  Unfortunately we had a fairly long pitstop with him, which is not the sort of thing which usually happens with our super strong pit crew.” Thinking of you Nasir...

Kauden loppupään kuumuus ei hellitä — ei radalla eikä sopimusmarkkinoilla.Ajankohtaisissa pureudutaan Kalle Rovanperän tilanteeseen, Mercedes-kaksikon Russell & Antonelli jatkopahveihin, Colton Hertan hyppyyn kohti F1-polkua sekä AKK:n ympärillä leijuviin huhuihin.Aika-ajoissa nähtiin onnistumisia ja mahalaskuja, mutta todellinen show alkoi kisan startista: neljä rinnan ykköskurviin, Verstappen ulkoa rinnalle ja ohi, Leclerc ja Antonelli samaan syssyyn.Verkku ajoi härän lailla ja otti ruskeakarhun roolin — Hamiltonin kolisuttelua myöten. Lopputuloksena: 10 sekunnin rakkauskirje kilpailunjohtajalta.Kisan lopun VSC sotki taktiikat, ja Lawson sai raidetta enemmän kuin ratavirkailijat tilasivat — hulinaa riitti.Fantasyssa taas voittajia ja… no, toisia.

In this episode of Risk! Engineers Talk Governance, due diligence engineers Richard Robinson and Gaye Francis discuss Could vs Should in Workplace Safety. (Thanks Nick for your email, case reference and questions.)They explore the critical distinction between what "could" have been done versus what "should" have been done in workplace safety, sparked by the SKM Services case against Magistrates Courts of Victoria, and discuss how experts often use hindsight to determine what could have prevented an incident, whereas courts must assess what was reasonably practicable with the knowledge available at the time.Key take-aways include:The danger of hindsight bias in safety assessmentsWhy documenting decisions not to implement controls is crucialThe importance of collaborative risk assessment workshops over single-person sign-offsHow due diligence protects both engineers and directors from liabilityWhy safety decisions must be regularly reviewed as technology and circumstances changeRichard and Gaye reiterate that while you can't always be right, you can always be diligent—and proper documentation of your decision-making process at the time is your best defence if something goes wrong.Article reference for SKM Services Pty Ltd v Magistrates' Court of Victoria & Anor [2019] VSC-460: https://www.claytonutz.com/insights/2019/august/court-clarifies-the-meaning-of-reasonable-practicability-in-ohs-after-finding-a-magistrate-has-misstated-the-test For further information on Richard and Gaye's consulting work with R2A, head to https://www.r2a.com.au, where you'll also find their booklets (store) and a sign-up for their quarterly newsletter to keep informed of their latest news and events.Gaye is also founder of Australian women's safety workwear company Apto PPE https://www.aptoppe.com.au.

Menneenä viikonloppuna ajettiin legendaarinen Monacon osakilpailu uusien pitstop-sääntöjen kera. Viime vuosina trendiksi on muodostunut, ettei viikonloppu tarjoa monia puhuttavia tapahtumia, joten on aika ottaa esille muutama meitä askarruttanut aihe. Juuso ja Elli nostavat kissan, eli tässä tapauksessa FIAn ja osittain myös Liberty Median, pöydälle ja perkaavat sarjan nykytilannetta rajullakin otteella. Aletaanko pikkuhiljaa kaivamaan silppuria esille?

Welcome to our motorsports podcast where we discuss F1, IndyCar, IMSA, NASCAR, our own racing adventures, and some other adventures!Franz Hermann, aka Max Verstappen, takes the win in Imola with a fantastic move around the outside of Oscar Piastri into T2 on lap 1 of the race! Max closes the gap to both McLaren drivers after Piastri had gone on a 3 race win streak. Although it was very controlled from the front, it was a good race with a few key moments for strategy to go good or bad for some. Two yellows (one VSC and the other a full SC) shook the field up and provided Ferrari an ample opportunity to make up some ground after a poor qualifying effort the day before.IndyCar had it's qualifying days for the greatest spectacle in motorsports this past weekend where none other than Robert Schwartzman driving for Prema took the pole! This is the first time since 1983 that a rookie is starting on pole for the Indy 500. Congrats to Robert and Prema on a fantastic effort! Drama unfolded on the second day of qualifying where Penske was found to be in violation of the rules. They've subsequently had two of their three cars moved to the rear of the field and at the time of our recording of this episode we had not yet received the news that Penske has fired three top employees within the team to make a statement that this is being taken seriously after not just this incident but also from the Push to Pass incident last year as well. Too many mistakes costing the team valuable points in the championship and also leaving a poor stain on the organization.Coming up this weekend: NASCAR is at Charlotte, IndyCar has the Indy 500, F1 is at Monaco.

Franz Hermann aka Max Verstappen showed once again why he's the GOAT of this generation of Formula 1 drivers. Is Red Bull Racing back to being the fastest team in Formula 1? At least in Imola, they were the class of the field. Can this continue for the rest (or most?) of the season? Based on the radio exchanges between Verstappen-GP, Max wanted to win in Imola...but with a large margin. - Max Verstappen's most-classic and cleanest opening lap/Turn 1 move since many races? - Oscar Piastri's bad luck with McLaren's pit stops & timing of the VSC and SC - Lando Norris' podium that didn't feel like a podium! - Yuki Tsunoda's pit lane start to a points finish in 10th If Ferrari start higher up the grid, do they have the pace to win? - Lewis Hamilton's comeback drive, and Charles Leclerc's frustrations. What can Ferrari do to qualify better!? - Alexander Albon's missed podium opportunity, but fantastic battles with Ferrari. Should Albon have battled differently with Leclerc? The Thai-British driver reckoned that he could've challenged Oscar Piastri for the podium! - Leclerc's radio exchanges with Brian Bozzi on the Ferrari pit wall regarding the possibly penalty in his battle with Albon - Carlos Sainz's lost chance due to an early pit stop What a way to bow out for Imola!

Edd Straw is joined in Imola by Mark Hughes and Jon Noble to discuss all the important talking points from the Emilia Romagna Grand Prix.Chief among them is how Red Bull managed to emerge with the quickest car, and whether Max Verstappen would still have won, even if McLaren's Oscar Piastri had beaten him into Turn 1.There's also chat about how Ferrari saved face at its home race, after a dismal qualifying, plus there are plenty of questions to answer from The Race Members' Club on everything from Yuki Tsunoda's response to his big quali crash to why we had one safety car and one VSC for what looked like very similar retirements.

In this episode, the Wigs discuss the decision in Mokbel v The King [2024] VSC 725, in which questions relating to an appeal by Antonious Mokbel arising out of the Gobbo saga in Victoria were determined by Justice Fullerton. Shortly after the Wigs recorded this episode, the Victorian Court of Appeal granted Mokbel bail pending determination of his appeal, citing the findings made in the reference favourable to Mokbel and finding that there were exceptional circumstances justifying the grant of bail. Not long after he was granted bail, the Victorian DPP announced they were appealing the decision discussed in this episode. The long saga continues…See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

很难想象曾经所向披靡、威震欧洲、拥有无数忠实拥趸的曼联，如今已阔别联赛和欧冠奖杯超过十年了。从莫耶斯到滕哈赫，后弗格森时代曼联的帅位成为“嗨”的代名词。尽管有格雷泽家族“吸血”，曼联仍是2013年以来转会净投入断层第一的俱乐部，这背后一定有更深层次的多方面原因。年初英国本土富豪拉特克利夫爵士入主曼联，如今带来了全欧炙手可热的少帅阿莫林，这次曼联有可能走出恶性循环吗？本期嘉宾：开水没温度（微博：开水没温度--开水view）详情提要：00:01:00 跳过金句混剪00:06:00 曼联帅位的“X嗨”怪圈00:16:45 穆里尼奥vs博格巴、索肖vsC罗、滕哈赫vs桑乔00:30:52 失败的第一责任人和有毒的组织文化00:46:54 大英传统足球文化的弊端 00:51:18 外界舆论对俱乐部决策的裹挟00:58:25 走进新时代：拉特克利夫和阿莫林01:10:28 红魔老球迷的深情自白关联推荐：Vol.19 对谈：魔迷大闹梦剧场，文化冲突下我们能否共情？(https://www.ximalaya.com/sound/415252300)Vol.50 同寻买家，曼联利物浦上演另类“双红会”(https://www.ximalaya.com/sound/609621776)Vol.62 对谈：解读格雷泽——足坛最“成功”的投资人(https://www.ximalaya.com/sound/689405880)BGM: 「United Manchester United」,Berliner Barock Solisten / Johann SebastianBach / Reinhard Goebel「Brandenburg Concerto No.3 in G majorBWV1048」公众号：橘猫看球（ID: Jumaofootball）知乎：橘猫看球听友群：公众号回复口令“听友群”橘猫，CFA/CICPA，曾就职于四大会计师事务所及国际足球管理公司，业余时间从事足球商业内容创作。欢迎私信交流，如果喜欢我的作品，请大力分享，欢迎打赏！也欢迎关注本人旗下另一档播客【忠橙电台丨泰山球迷播客】，以及体育观察者系列播客的其他节目【翻转体育】【FreeKick-不止于足球场】。

Otro gran fin de semana de Fórmula 1 y, sobre todo, una inconmensurable exhibición del que a pesar de las críticas, está demostrando ser el mejor piloto de la parrilla actual, Max Verstappen. Nos queda buen sabor de boca ahora que, otra vez, estaremos varias semanas sin Grandes Premios. Así que esta semana, en el Podcast Técnica Fórmula 1, toca analizar a fondo toda la locura que fue el GP de São Paulo. Un gran piloto, sin el mejor coche. Recital de Max Verstappen. Empezó 17º el Gran Premio y acabó ganándolo después de una gran remontada que no veíamos desde 2007, cuando Kimi Räikkönen también partió de esa posición en Brasil y también ganó la carrera… y luego la temporada. Es cierto que el holandés pudo aprovecharse de situaciones favorables, por supuesto. Por cierto, que ninguna de ellas le resta el más mínimo mérito, pues todos sabemos que ahora mismo no tiene el mejor coche, a pesar de lo cual encadenó 17 vueltas rápidas en carrera. Una locura. Por otro lado, fin de semana muy loco en São Paulo con una lluvia torrencial que obligó incluso a celebrar la clasificación en domingo, además de adelantar la carrera hora y media. En el otro platillo de la balanza, Norris, que está cometiendo demasiados errores: así no se puede ganar un Mundial. Una salida tan loca como la carrera. Como suele suceder, Norris perdió la primera plaza, desde la que salía, en la primera vuelta, contra Russell. Mientras, Max ganaba 7 posiciones y Pérez hacía un trompo. Pero, para trompo, el de Stroll en la vuelta de formación, tras el que se fue, de forma incomprensible, a la grava, y provocó un lío monumental al abortarse el procedimiento de salida. Por cierto, un lío muy grande porque ni pilotos ni equipos parecen saberse correctamente el reglamento cosa que, una vez más, no se puede decir de Verstappen, que por radio preguntó qué hacían los demás si se había abortado la salida. La carrera, un cúmulo de situaciones. Aparte de lo anteriormente comentado, en el primer episodio se habla de la lucha de Lawson contra Pérez y la inquina por parte del neozelandés contra el mexicano, al que se rumorea que podría quitar el asiento… aunque tendrá que mejorar mucho aún para eso. También se hablará del VSC por las condiciones de la pista. ¿Fue adecuado o una ventaja para quienes iban primeros y no habían parado? ¿Y qué decir de la bandera roja por el accidente de Colapinto? ¿No hubiera bastado un simple coche de seguridad? Por supuesto, en este programa tendremos también un excelente análisis de las estrategias de carrera. Escucha el episodio completo en la app de iVoox, o descubre todo el catálogo de iVoox Originals

The value of water to water security is $4 trillion today and is likely to triple in the next 10 years. [Source: Global Water Intelligence] To put that $12 trillion into perspective, it is higher than the GDP of every other country other than the US and China. Meet Peter Yolles, General Partner at Echo River Capital, a seasoned entrepreneur and strategic investor in early-stage water technology companies. Peter founded WaterSmart Software (acquired by Vertex One), serving 200 water utility customers and reaching over 20 million people. With a joint MBA and MES from Yale and a BA from the University of Colorado, he authored the CREO Syndicate report on water impact investment. Peter continues to advise founders with his deep domain and operational expertise.

As many have attested, there's nothing romantic about being a founder. It's about doing what has to be done. And that's what makes entrepreneurship difficult. In Episode 073 of CLIMB, Zach Coelius, Managing Partner at Coelius Capital, maintains that being a founder is 10x harder than being a VC. Talking about an investor's MO, Zach equates being in the stands, drinking a beer, with the same as being a VC and deciding which companies will survive, and which will die. Zach is known for his investments in Angel List, HelloSign, Mercury, and more, but what is lesser known about him is that before investing, Zach sold an ad-tech business to Facebook (now Meta). As if this isn't impressive enough, he also raised $33M for Coelius Capital's Fund II, that too in a record 3 weeks! In the latest episode of CLIMB by VSC, Zach and host Jay Kapoor discuss their views on:  • repeat founders versus first-time founders  • how Zach sold his company • the journey as an entrepreneur & more.
