Acum, când s-au încheiat Jocurile Olimpice de la Milano Cortina, ies la suprafață mai multe povești cutremurătoare care stau în spatele multor succese ale sportivilor de la Olimpiada albă. La Pastila de sport aflați despre campioana americană de la monobob care are doi copii surzi, despre medaliatul cu bronz la sărituri cu schiurile din Norvegia care și-a pierdut tatăl, despre patinatorul japonez de pe primul loc în programul liber care nu se mai putea opri din plâns și despre schioara italiană care a terminat pe locul 3 în concursul de big air deși avea ligamentul încrucișat rupt. Aproape fiecare medalie obținută de sportivi la Jocurile de la Milano Cortina are câte o poveste. Unele dintre ele sunt de-a dreptul cutremurătoare. După ce le auzi te întrebi câtă voință au avut acești sportivi pentru a trece peste problemele de viață cu care s-au confruntat și a ajunge campioni. Elana Meyers Taylor a născut doi copii surzi Este cazul americancei Elana Meyers Taylor care a devenit la 41 de ani cea mai în vârstă medaliată cu aur  într-o probă individuală la Jocurile Olimpice, după ce s-a impus în proba de monobob la competiția din Italia. Monobobul este sportul exclusiv feminin în care sportiva este și împingătoare și pilot, iar americanca le face bine pe amândouă coborând la o viteză amețitoare pe un traseu în care orice mică eroare o poate costa chiar viața. Iar Taylor nu este un om ca toți ceilalți. De fapt nu este o mamă ca toate celelate. Ea a născut 2 copii surzi, unul dintre ei suferind de sindromul Down. Cu toate acestea, înaintea Jocurilor de la Milano-Cortina, sportiva  avea deja cinci medalii olimpice, trei de argint şi două de bronz, dar acum şi-a completat colecţia cu medalia din cel mai strălucitor metal, astfel că a izbucnit în lacrimi şi a sărbătorit performanţa alături de copiii ei. Forfang a rămas fără tată înainte de J.O Un alt exemplu al unui sportiv care are o poveste de viață deosebită este norvegianul Johann Andre Forfang. Săritorul cu schiurile a cucerit în întrecerea de super-team o medalie olimpică, a treia din carieră, la puțin timp după ce a trecut prin cumpăna vieții. În spatele succesului său se ascunde o dramă imensă deoarece medalia sa de bronz vine la două săptămâni după ce tatăl său a decedat. Săritorul cu schiurile în vârstă de 30 de ani a vorbit cu multă emoție despre cel care i-a fost model și erou, spunând că tatăl său a reprezentat busola sa morală. Ultima dorință a părintelui, care era bolnav de o boală incurabilă, a fost ca fiul său să concureze la săriturile cu schiurile și să meargă la Jocurile Olimpice. Așa că Forfang i-a ascultat sfatul, a concurat terminând pe locul 3 și a ridicat ochii spre cer în momentul în care s-a văzut cu medalia de bronz la gât Japonezul Hihara plângea în timpul antrenamentului Ce mai e de spus în cazul Riku Miura și Ryuichi Kihara, japonezii care au cucerit medalia de aur în proba de perechi de la Jocurile Olimpice de la Milano Cortina, după un program liber excepțional, în care au doborât recordul mondial pe acest palier? Niponii rataseră complet programul scurt, iar Kihara considerându-se vinovat a fost în pragul disperării, partenera sa dezvăluind că acesta a plâns în continuu între cele două evoluții. Kihara a vârsat lacrimi la fel ca în cântecul “Și băieții plâng câteodată”, varianta asiatică, dar acest plânset nervos l-a ajutat. Japonezii au recuperat fabulos la programul liber și la final s-au situat pe primul loc , cei doi devenind prima pereche din „Țara Soarelui Răsare” care ia aur olimpic. La sfârșitul competiției, Kihara a fost din nou foarte emoționat, a plâns din nou, de data asta de bucurie, și le-a mulțumit tuturor celor care l-au ajutat să treacă peste acel moment stânjenitor pentru un bărbat. Flora Tabanelli a reușit ceea ce nu a reușit Lindsey Vonn Italianca Tobanelli este și ea un caz aparte. Sportiva de la schi acrobatic și-a rupt  ligamentul încrucișat la genunchi înaintea Jocurilor,  la fel ca legendara coborâtoare Lindsey Vonn. Dacă americanca în vărstă de 41 de ani a suferit o căzătură oribilă, în urma căreia s-a ales cu mai multe fracturi, italianca de 18 ani a reușit 3 sărituri foarte bune în concursul de big air și a obținut medalia de bronz, prima pentru Italia în schi acrobatic. Tânăra a explicat că i-a fost foarte greu să concureze cu o placă de titan care să-i protejeze genunchiul accidentat, dar satisfacția de a fi pe podium la Jocurile Olimpice nu se poate compara cu nimic. Nu va mai concura deloc în 2026, urmând să se opereze pentru refacerea ligamentelor. Flora Tobanelli este încă un exemplu care demonstrează că pentru a fi printre protagoniști la competiția supremă din sport, mulți sportivi au ambiții ieșite din comun și își asumă riscuri enorme pentru a-și îndeplini un vis. Podiumul olimpic!

Deciziile neinspirate și stresul climatic împing Parcul Tineretului din Capitală spre un declin accelerat. Aceasta este concluzia unui studiu comandat de Asociația Parcul Natural București și realizat de peisagiștii Diana Culescu, Mihai Culescu și arborista Andreea Răducu-Lefter, evaluator de risc de arbori, președinta Asociației Peisagiștilor din România, filiala București. Aceasta din urmă este invitată la Planeta Verde, alături de Alexandru Oprița, coordonator de proiect la ONG-ul amintit. Studiul comandat de Asociația Parcul Natural București arată că 15% dintre arborii din Parcul Tineretului necesită intervenții. Potrivit analizei, acolo există arbori mulți, dar îmbătrâniți. În plus, 5% dintre copaci se află în categoria de risc extrem pentru siguranța publică. Studiul poate fi consultat aici. Alexandru Oprița, coordonator de proiect la Asociația Parcul Natural București, explică: ”O să încep cu lucrurile pozitive. Am descoperit un potențial imens pentru a aduce oamenii mai aproape de natură. Parcul Tineretului, pe lângă faptul că e unul dintre cele mai mari parcuri din București, avem în jur de 80 de hectare acolo, are un lac foarte mare, asta înseamnă și mai multă biodiversitate și încă de anul trecut, alături de colegii de la Parcul Natural București, am început să avem acțiuni acolo, am amenajat o pajiște cu flori de câmp pe malul lacului, pentru a promova soluțiile bazate pe natură, am amenajat un hotel de insecte, iarna asta am hrănit păsările cu semințe de floarea soarelui”. El vorbește și despre aspectele negative din Parcul Tineretului: ”Am descoperit și o parte din lucrurile care nu funcționează la fel de bine. Anul trecut, înainte de a începe intervențiile, am făcut un chestionar, ca să sondăm comunitatea, să vedem cum percep ei principalele probleme și deși nu aveam în plan să intervenim pe arbori, am descoperit că era principala preocupare a oamenilor. Oamenii erau înspăimântați de faptul că văd din ce în ce mai mulți arbori care se usucă în parc (...). O parte din arbori efectiv cad, deși par verzi, par sănătoși”. Copaci cu risc de prăbușire, în zona locurilor de joacă Studiul arată că 15% dintre arbori necesită intervenții. Ce înseamnă asta, e mult, e puțin? Andreea Răducu-Lefter, arboristă, președinta Asociației Peisagiștilor din România, filiala București: ”Este puțin, dacă o luăm pe 15%. Dar 5% dintre arbori prezintă un risc extrem, adică un risc de cădere iminent, de prăbușire, arborii nu cad doar dacă bate vântul, arborii cad și dacă este soare afară, iar 10% prezintă un risc ridicat de cădere. Acum, acest 15% este un procent mic, dar trebuie să ne raportăm la țintele care vor fi lovite, în cazul doborârii acestor arbori. Noi acești 5% cu risc extrem și 10% cu grad ridicat i-am identificat în zona locurilor de joacă și în zona locurilor de ședere. Deci atunci înseamnă foarte mult, înseamnă intervenții urgente, pentru a pune în siguranță cetățenii care frecventează aceste locuri”. Ea precizează că ”acest parc este un parc tânăr, are 50-60 de ani. Noi acum suntem într-un moment critic, biologic, unii arbori sunt maturi și intră în faza de stagnare fiziologică sau alții în faza de retragere. Noi avem foarte multe masive monospecie, adică zone care sunt compuse dintr-o singură specie, arbori care chiar dacă pe termen scurt par stabili, pe termen lung uniformitatea asta genetică înseamnă vulnerabilitate”.

 A fost o comunicare excesiva sau o reactie responsabila si transparenta? Alexandru Rogobete a fost criticat in spatiul public, inclusiv de reprezentanții unor companii aeriene, pentru că a înspăimântat populația fara sa aiba date concrete despre situatia aparatului de zbor. Unde a gresit , discutam imediat.      Elevii pot folosi inteligența artificială la școală Colegiul Tehnic de Căi Ferate „Unirea” din Pașcani este primul liceu din Iași care a stabilit reguli foarte clare în acest domeniu. Documentul stabilește și măsurile pe care profesorii trebuie să le ia atunci când există suspiciuni privind folosirea neautorizată a inteligentei artificiale.  Franta și Germania cer demisia raportoarei speciale a ONU pentru teritoriile palestiniene, Francesca Albanese, care a denunțat genocidul din Fâșia Gaza Controversa a luat amploare în Hexagon după ce deputați din tabăra prezidențială au acuzat-o pe expertă că ar fi desemnat ''Israelul drept un dușman comun al umanității'', ceea ce Francesca Albanese a negat categoric. Ea a denuntat ''acuzații false'' și o ''manipulare'' a declarațiilor sale.  În Mexic s-a dezlănțuit haosul după uciderea unui baron al drogurilor Bărbaţi înarmaţi suspectaţi a fi susţinătorii săi au blocat autostrăzile din mai multe state şi au incendiat maşini şi magazine. În unele oraşe, turiştii şi locuitorii au fost îndemnaţi să rămână în case, iar şoferii de camioane au fost sfătuiţi să aleagă rute sigure sau să se întoarcă la depozite până la încetarea violenţelor.

I'm Dom Jackman. I founded Escape the City in 2010 to help people leave corporate jobs and find work that matters. 16 years later, 500k+ professionals have used the platform - mostly people 5-15 years into careers at places like McKinsey, Deloitte, Google, the big banks - who feel a growing gap between what they do all day and what they actually care about. I'm not from the EA community. I'm writing this because I think there's a real overlap between the people I work with and what the EA talent ecosystem actually needs. I want to test that before investing serious time in it. What I've noticed Reading through talent discussions on this forum, there's a consistent theme: the pipeline is strongest for early-career people. 80,000 Hours does great work for students and recent grads. Probably Good provides broad guidance. BlueDot, MATS, Talos build skills for specific cause areas. But mid-career professionals with real commercial experience keep coming up as underserved. The "Gaps and opportunities in the EA talent & recruiting landscape" post nails it: these people "don't have 'EA capital,' may be poorly networked and might feel alienated by current messaging."

"This is why you take practice exams. So that you know what you DON'T want to do on test day." Practice tests don't always move in a straight line—and this week, GMAC Zach finds that out firsthand. After hitting a personal high on his previous EA exam practice exam with a 155, his latest score dips slightly, sparking an honest conversation about score fluctuations, confidence traps, and what really causes plateaus during EA prep. Joined, as always, by Stacey Koprince from Manhattan Prep, they unpack why the third practice exam is such a common stumbling point, how overconfidence can quietly lead to careless mistakes (yes, even in your strongest section), and why focusing only on weaknesses can cause your strengths to atrophy. They also dig into practical strategy: how to review practice exams effectively, how to organize quant scratch work, and how to decide when you're truly ready to take your final practice test—or the real thing. The episode closes with a thoughtful discussion on motivation, deadlines, and whether booking the official exam before you feel "ready" can actually be the push you need. If you've ever felt frustrated by a score dip or unsure about your next step in EA or GMAT prep, this one will feel very familiar—and very reassuring. About Stacey: Stacey Koprince is one of the most recognized names in test prep, with over 15 years of experience teaching the GMAT, EA, GRE, and LSAT. As Manhattan Prep's Director of Content & Curriculum, she has written countless articles, guides, and video explanations that thousands of students rely on. A former management consultant, Stacey now spends her days helping future business leaders master tricky concepts and find confidence in their prep—something she's passionate about seeing "click" for every student.

As content knowledge increases, timing issues, overconfidence, and stubbornness can creep in. Focusing only on weaknesses can hurt your strengths. Mixed review matters, or previously solid skills can quietly slip. Careless mistakes often come from confidence, not confusion. Rushing through "easy" questions can cost just as many points as knowledge gaps. Practice exam review matters more than the score itself. Time spent, question-level decisions, and patterns of error are where the real insights live. Write everything down on quant. Clean, organized scratch work isn't about neatness—it's about thinking clearly under pressure. Grammar prep shouldn't break what already works. Use rules strategically to retrain your ear where it falls for traps, not everywhere. Your last practice exam is precious—but not sacred. For some test-takers, the real exam can function as a high-stakes "dry run" with better data. Deadlines can be powerful motivators—if you know yourself. Booking the test can help procrastinators push through, as long as flexibility remains. Don't tell anyone your test date. Fewer external expectations = fewer distractions on test day.

Welcome to Day 2801 of Wisdom-Trek, and thank you for joining me. This is Guthrie Chamberlain, Your Guide to Wisdom – Theology Thursday – Ancient Kings and Giants: Were the Sumerian Rulers the Nephilim? Wisdom-Trek Podcast Script - Day 2801 Welcome to Wisdom-Trek with Gramps!   I am Guthrie Chamberlain, and we are on Day 2801 of our Trek.   The Purpose of Wisdom-Trek is to create a legacy of wisdom, to seek out discernment and insights, and to boldly grow where few have chosen to grow before. Our current series of Theology Thursday lessons is written by theologian and teacher John Daniels. I have found that his lessons are short, easy to understand, doctrinally sound, and applicable to all who desire to learn more of God's Word. John's lessons can be found on his website   theologyinfive.com.   Today's lesson is titled  Ancient Kings and Giants: Were the Sumerian Rulers the Nephilim? In the earliest layers of Mesopotamian literature, the Sumerian King List stands as a remarkable record of legendary rulers. These kings, beginning with Alulim of Eridu, are said to have reigned for tens of thousands of years. Alulim ruled for Twenty-Eight Thousand, Eight Hundred years, while others, such as En-men-lu-ana of Bad-tibira, are credited with reigns of Forty-Three Thousand Two Hundred years. The list presents eight antediluvian kings in total, whose rule was said to have lasted for Two Hundred Forty-One Thousand, Two-Hundred years before the heavens brought a great flood. These numbers are not historical in the modern sense. They are symbolic and rooted in the Sumerian sacred use of numbers, especially the sexagesimal base-sixty system. Lifespans were often structured as multiples of Three Thousand, Six Hundred, a unit known as a sar. The theological point is clear. Kingship was believed to have descended from heaven, and these early rulers were seen not merely as political figures but as mediators between gods and mortals. Their reigns reflect divine favor, cosmic order, and a time when humans stood closer to the divine realm. The flood marks a dividing line in the narrative. After it, reigns become shorter and more grounded. The mythic age gives way to something closer to recognizable history. Cities shift, dynasties rise and fall, and the divine distance from humanity becomes more evident. What survives is a memory of a time when the lines between human and divine were blurred, when kings were more than men, and when the age before the flood carried an aura of sacred timelessness. The First Segment is: Echoes from Akkadian and Babylonian Tradition. The Akkadian-speaking cultures of Babylon and Assyria preserved an expanded version of the Sumerian memory in two major works, the Atrahasis Epic and the Epic of Gilgamesh. These texts also recall a time before the flood, inhabited by extraordinary beings, divine-human figures, and a collapse of order that led to judgment. In the Atrahasis Epic, the gods create humans to relieve themselves of labor, but humanity quickly multiplies and becomes noisy and disruptive. Enlil, the chief god, decides to destroy them. A series of plagues and famines fails to work, so a flood is sent to wipe out the human race. The god Ea (or Enki) warns Atrahasis, a righteous man, who builds a boat to survive. After the flood, humanity is restructured and reduced, and a new social and spiritual order is established. The Epic of...

There are conversations that would make your role as an Executive Assistant significantly easier.You probably already know which ones they are.The clarification you've been meaning to ask for. The boundary that needs resetting. The expectation that was never fully defined. The salary discussion you keep postponing.In this episode, Nicky talks through six specific conversations that directly impact how smooth, strategic, and sustainable your role feels. These are not dramatic confrontations. They are practical, calm, well-timed discussions that remove guesswork and reduce unnecessary rework.You'll hear about:The “I Need Help” conversation and how asking early saves hours later The immediate feedback conversation that prevents small patterns from shaping your role The unclear expectations conversation that stops you from aiming at the wrong target The managing up conversation and why it changes how your week runs The mistake admission conversation and how it can actually build trust The salary and value conversation and how to prepare properly for itThroughout the episode, Nicky shares real EA scenarios and practical wording you can use, so you're not walking into these discussions hoping they go well. You're walking in prepared.Resources MentionedManaging Up Guide for Executive Assistants:https://theeacampus.com/blog/managing-up-as-an-executive-assistant/EA Salary Survey:https://www.easalarysurvey.com/Confident Communicator Course:https://theeacampus.com/online-course/confident-communicator/Explore all upcoming masterclasses, virtual summits, and the London conference: https://theeacampus.com/eventsIf this episode resonated, share it with another EA who might be carrying a conversation in their head that really needs to happen.And as always, thank you for being part of The EA Campus community.

En we weten dat veel mensen nog een Switch 2 willen halen. Plus de gamers die in november GTA 6 willen spelen en nog geen PS5 hebben; die zijn ook erg gebaat bij deze actie. Hier vind je alle info, de voorwaarden en de plek om deze deal te sluiten. En oh ja, glasvezel is natuurlijk de beste optie (als die tenminste bij jou in de straat ligt). Heb je geen lag meer en op sommige plekken tot 4 g/bit up snelheden. Wel zo fijn als je onbekommerd wil gamen.

This week, Be Here Now is the main message. As much as possible, make choices to be here and be now in ways that are consciously relational vs. unconsciously reactive. The more you can bring awareness to the present moment, the more freedom and strength you have. Karmic patterns are ready for resolution and regeneration.

Every major AI company has the same safety plan: when AI gets crazy powerful and really dangerous, they'll use the AI itself to figure out how to make AI safe and beneficial. It sounds circular, almost satirical. But is it actually a bad plan?Today's guest, Ajeya Cotra, recently placed 3rd out of 413 participants forecasting AI developments and is among the most thoughtful and respected commentators on where the technology is going.She thinks there's a meaningful chance we'll see as much change in the next 23 years as humanity faced in the last 10,000, thanks to the arrival of artificial general intelligence. Ajeya doesn't reach this conclusion lightly: she's had a ring-side seat to the growth of all the major AI companies for 10 years — first as a researcher and grantmaker for technical AI safety at Coefficient Giving (formerly known as Open Philanthropy), and now as a member of technical staff at METR.So host Rob Wiblin asked her: is this plan to use AI to save us from AI a reasonable one?Ajeya agrees that humanity has repeatedly used technologies that create new problems to help solve those problems. After all:Cars enabled carjackings and drive-by shootings, but also faster police pursuits.Microbiology enabled bioweapons, but also faster vaccine development.The internet allowed lies to disseminate faster, but had exactly the same impact for fact checks.But she also thinks this will be a much harder case. In her view, the window between AI automating AI research and the arrival of uncontrollably powerful superintelligence could be quite brief — perhaps a year or less. In that narrow window, we'd need to redirect enormous amounts of AI labour away from making AI smarter and towards alignment research, biodefence, cyberdefence, adapting our political structures, and improving our collective decision-making.The plan might fail just because the idea is flawed at conception: it does sound a bit crazy to use an AI you don't trust to make sure that same AI benefits humanity.But if we find some clever technique to overcome that, we could still fail — because the companies simply don't follow through on their promises. They say redirecting resources to alignment and security is their strategy for dealing with the risks generated by their research — but none have quantitative commitments about what fraction of AI labour they'll redirect during crunch time. And the competitive pressures during a recursive self-improvement loop could be irresistible.In today's conversation, Ajeya and Rob discuss what assumptions this plan requires, the specific problems AI could help solve during crunch time, and why — even if we pull it off — we'll be white-knuckling it the whole way through.Links to learn more, video, and full transcript: https://80k.info/ac26This episode was recorded on October 20, 2025.Chapters:Cold open (00:00:00)Ajeya's strong track record for identifying key AI issues (00:00:43)The 1,000-fold disagreement about AI's effect on economic growth (00:02:30)Could any evidence actually change people's minds?

The EA Grants Database is a new site that neatly aggregates grant data from major EA funders who publish individual or total grant information. It is intended to be easy to maintain long term, entirely piggybacking off of existing data that is likely to be maintained. The website data is updated by a script that can be run in seconds, and I anticipate doing this for the foreseeable future. In creating the website, I tried to make things as clear and straightforward as possible. If your user experience is in any way impaired, I would appreciate hearing from you. I would also appreciate feedback on what features would actually be useful to people, although I am committed to avoiding bloat. In a funding landscape that seems poised to grow, I hope this site can serve as a resource to help grantmakers, grantees, and other interested parties make decisions while also providing perspective on what has come before. My post on matching credits and this website are both outgrowths of my thinking on how we might best financially coordinate as EA grows and becomes more difficult to understand.[1] Relatedly, I am also interested in the sort of mechanisms that [...] --- First published: February 8th, 2026 Source: https://forum.effectivealtruism.org/posts/rohYFGfiFjepLDnWC/ea-grants-database-a-new-website --- Narrated by TYPE III AUDIO.

We are Melanie and Anthony, the two community builders at EA Barcelona. In this post, we share where the group stands today and reflect on key learnings from nearly three years of grant-funded community building. We hope these reflections are useful to other community builders, funders, and CEA, particularly around what it realistically takes to build and sustain EA communities over multiple years, from funding stability and feedback loops to the personal sustainability of professional community builders. TL;DR EA Barcelona was funded by the EA Infrastructure Fund between May 2023 and December 2025 (

De ce îi este imposibil Curții Constituționale să accepte – decât cu riscul de a se umple de ridicol – cererea Liei Savonea de a sesiza Curtea de Justiție a UE (G4Media) - Noua ordine din AUR. Ce ascunde, de fapt, promovarea tandemului Dungaciu-Peiu: „Creează impresia de specializare” (Adevărul) - Cenaclul Flacăra: delir, dans, aplauze. Patrioți și suverani: „Ne vânează Liiceanu, Nicușor și Bolojan!” REPORTAJ (Libertatea) - Eutanasia ca afacere: zeci de mii de câini uciși pe milioane de euro, bani publici, sub ochii autorităților (Snoop) Ce speră președintele Nicușor Dan să obțină prin participarea la Consiliul Păcii condus de Donald Trump (PressOne) Președintele Nicușor Dan a anunțat participarea României în calitate de „observator” la prima reuniune a Consiliul Păcii organizată la Washington, pe 19 februarie, la care vor mai participa țări precum Ungaria, Kosovo și Belarus.  Există câteva probleme referitoare la decizia președintelui Dan, explică Marius Ghincea, specialist în relații internaționale și securitate.  Prima este că statutul de observator nu există. A doua problemă este legată de motivația oficială pentru care se duce: „pentru a reafirma sprijinul nostru ferm pentru eforturile internaționale de pace și deschiderea de a participa la procesul de reconstrucție din Fâșia Gaza” – asta în contextul în care, din carta care va sta la baza organizației conduse de Donald Trump, lipsește orice mențiune despre Fâșia Gaza.  Așadar, de ce merge Nicușor Dan la o întâlnire pe care unele dintre cele mai puternice state europene, precum Franța, au refuzat-o deja? Și ce înseamnă asta pentru România? Nicușor Dan vrea ca România să revină în grațiile Statelor Unite ale Americii, așa că îi onorează invitația lui Donald Trump într-o organizație internațională care „ridică semne de întrebare legate de viitorul ordinii internaționale”, spune Marius Ghincea pentru PressOne. Printre lucrurile pe care speră șeful statului să le obțină în urma întâlnirii din Washington se numără „o repornire a procesului Visa Waiver, promisiuni legate de menținerea forțelor americane din România și pentru ca administrația americană să uite sau să ignore toată povestea legată de anularea alegerilor din 2024”, adaugă expertul.  De ce se duce Nicușor Dan la Consiliul lui Trump? O decizie în interesul României, chiar dacă e percepută ca o eroare politică (SpotMedia) Din păcate, țara noastră e prea slabă și polarizată pentru ca liderii ei să poată refuza o invitație, de orice gen, venită din partea președintelui american.  SUA înseamnă mult mai mult decât mandatul controversat al lui Donald Trump, iar ușile diplomației nu trebuie închise niciodată. Puteți citi pe pagina SpotMedia articolul de opinie semnat de jurnalistul Emilian Isăilă. De ce îi este imposibil Curții Constituționale să accepte – decât cu riscul de a se umple de ridicol – cererea Liei Savonea de a sesiza Curtea de Justiție a UE (G4Media) Lia Savonea a depus cererea de sesizare a Curții de Justiție a Uniunii Europene cu o întrebare preliminară privind compatibilitatea cu dreptul UE a legii de ajustare a pensiilor magistraților. Documentul are 35 de pagini. G4Media a examinat cererea cu asistența unor experți în drept european. Legea pensiilor se află în control de constituționalitate înainte de promulgare, nu este în vigoare, nu produce efecte. Ea mai poate suferi modificări chiar dacă este aprobată de CCR, prin eventualele cereri de reexaminare formulate de președinte. A cere Curții de Justiție a UE să se pronunțe asupra ei ar echivala cu transformarea instanței de la Luxembourg în consultant juridic – ceea ce CJUE nu a acceptat niciodată. Toată jurisprudența pe care și-a construit cazul Lia Savonea – cu spețe din Spania, Portugația, Ungaria, Italia, Polonia și multe altele – se referă exclusiv la cazuri în care au fost reclamate la CJUE legi deja adoptate, nu legi viitoare. Experții în dreptul UE au fost clari: „Niciodată în istoria sa Curtea de Justiție a UE nu a acceptat întrebări preliminare privind legi care nu erau adoptate. Le-a respins pe toate ca fiind cazuri ipotetice”. Noua ordine din AUR. Ce ascunde, de fapt, promovarea tandemului Dungaciu-Peiu: „Creează impresia de specializare” (Adevărul) Dan Dungaciu și Petrișor Peiu au devenit principalii purtători de mesaj ai AUR după marginalizarea fondatorilor partidului, însă profilul lor conturează, în opinia politologului Cristian Pîrvulescu, o agendă revizionistă periculoasă. Într-o analiză pentru „Adevărul”, Pîrvulescu explică dedesubturile ascensiunii celor doi și mizele strategiei puse la cale de George Simion. Miza este aceea de a combate eticheta de partid lipsit de expertiză. Totuși, Pîrvulescu demontează mitul tehnocratului atașat noilor veniți. „Reproșul adus AUR este că nu are specialiști. Prin urmare, încearcă să creeze această impresie. Numai că, în realitate, cei doi nu sunt specialiști. Dungaciu este cunoscut de multă vreme ca militant de extremă dreaptă, provenit din zona universitară. Peiu a fost promovat ca specialist în economie, posibil prim-ministru, tehnocratul partidului. În realitate, nu are competențe speciale în acest domeniu, dar a fost recuperat și este util din acest punct de vedere”, punctează profesorul. Discursul lor, deși pare mai elitist, nu intră în conflict cu electoratul tradițional al AUR deoarece rolul lor nu este de a mobiliza masele, ci de a oferi o aparență de seriozitate. Analiza profesorului Pîrvulescu evidențiază traseul sinuos al construcției politice AUR. Partidul a pornit de la nucleul dur al galeriilor de fotbal, a absorbit rețelele religioase neoprotestante din Coaliția pentru Familie, pentru ca ulterior să capitalizeze frustrările pandemice. Cenaclul Flacăra: delir, dans, aplauze. Patrioți și suverani: „Ne vânează Liiceanu, Nicușor și Bolojan!” REPORTAJ (Libertatea) Cinci ore de Cenaclu Flacăra. Duminică seara, începând cu ora 6.00 până la 11 și ceva în noapte. Pe ecranul Sălii Palatului defilează imagini uriașe cu Adrian Păunescu. Sub acest uriaș, copleșit de umbra lui, pe scenă stă fiul lui, Andrei. Fără har, fără talent, fără spontaneitate. Are chitară. Și mai ales invocă nume și momente sacre ale Cenaclului Flacăra, din anii 1970 și 1980, apoi, din anii 2000. Andrei repetă „Tatăl nostru” când vorbește de Adrian. Și-și prezintă tatăl ca pe un disident.  Mircea Vintilă, Nicu Alifantis, Mircea Baniciu, Lipan Țăndărică, Gheorghe Gheorghiu au venit în trecere. Au zis o vorbă-două, au intonat imnuri și au plecat. Afișul Cenaclului avea înscrise numele lor mari și tari. Au cântat vreo jumătate de oră cu toții. Ore-n șir? Rudele lui Andrei. Aici e prezent. Nu e trecut. Sunt și spirite care vor să trăiască ce-au trăit odată. Nostalgie după „cultura națională” care se făcea odată. Nostalgie după „spectacolele de calitate, în care ne simțeam oameni în Dictatură, astăzi suntem câini”.  Reportajul integral în Libertatea. Eutanasia ca afacere: zeci de mii de câini uciși pe milioane de euro, bani publici, sub ochii autorităților (Snoop) Peste 64.000 de câini au fost eutanasiați în România în ultimii trei ani, iar jumătate dintre ei au ajuns în patru adăposturi ale unor veterinari care au transformat procedura într-o afacere. Cel puțin 9 milioane de euro din bani publici însumează contractele câștigate de firme și asociații implicate în prinderea și eutanasierea câinilor fără stăpân, inclusiv a celor sănătoși. Prin legea actuală se încurajează eutanasia câinilor la nivel național, susține societatea civilă. Snoop documentează de câteva luni eutanasia și maltratarea câinilor din adăposturile din țară.

NAEA President Jennifer MacMillan joins Roger and Annie to talk about what she's hearing from enrolled agents on the front lines this tax season — including an IRS that's putting undertrained staff on the phones, backlogs that aren't getting resolved, and one practitioner who made 25 calls on a single issue without ever getting an answer. They also dig into the bipartisan push for minimum preparer standards, NAEA's win on Oregon licensing, and why Jennifer thinks managing client expectations around social security, tips, and overtime is going to be one of the biggest challenges of the season.SponsorsPadgett -  Contact Padgett or Email Jeff PhillipsGet NASBA Approved CPE or IRS Approved CELaunch the course on EarmarkCPE to get free CPE/CE for listening to this episode.Links mentioned in this episodeChapters(00:00) - Welcome to Federal Tax Updates (03:55) - Jennifer's Journey (05:55) - Selling a Tax Practice the Smart Way: Timing, Systems, and Profitability (08:36) - What NAEA Offers: Community Support, Web Board, and Member Resources (09:54) - IRS Service Breakdown: Phone Lines, Staffing Losses, and Backlog Reality (12:43) - Real-World IRS Call Horror Stories: POA Issues, Callbacks, and TAS Limits (15:09) - Returns & Refunds: E-File Works—But Humans and Paper Still Slow Everything (16:34) - Managing Client Expectations in a Misinformation Tax Year (20:32) - Pricing Your Expertise: Value Billing, Fee Schedules, and Getting Paid for Knowledge (26:30) - Why Community Matters + The Accounting Today Webinar Recap (28:43) - Tax season prep: new laws, IRS notices & online accounts (30:59) - DC advocacy + NAEA Fly-In (May 5–6): what to expect (32:05) - Minimum standards for paid preparers: the bipartisan push (34:50) - Why regulation matters: tax gap, weak enforcement & bad actors (41:18) - State battles: Oregon licensing surprise + Minnesota win (48:09) - Join NAEA: member benefits, volunteering & community (51:07) - Wrap-up: upcoming topics and tax-season sendoff Follow the Federal Tax Updates Podcast on Social Mediatwitter.com/FedTaxPodfacebook.com/FedTaxPodlinkedin.com/showcase/fedtaxpodConnect with the Hosts on LinkedInRoger HarrisAnnie SchwabReviewLeave a review on Apple Podcasts or PodchaserSubscribeSubscribe to the Federal Tax Updates podcast in your favorite podcast app!This podcast is a production of Earmark MediaThe full transcript for this episode is available by clicking on the Transcript tab at the top of this pageAll content from this podcast by SmallBizPros, Inc.

COMPLETAS VIERNES - TIEMPO ORDINARIO(Oración antes del descanso nocturno)*Link de apoyo al canal al final del escrito*INVOCACIÓN INICIALV. Dios mío, ven en mi auxilioR. Señor, date prisa en socorrerme. Gloria al Padre, y al Hijo, y al Espíritu Santo.Como era en el principio, ahora y siempre, por los siglos de los siglos. Amén.Salmo 87 - Ant. Señor, Dios mío, de día te pido auxilio, de noche grito en tu presencia.Señor, Dios mío, de día te pido auxilio,de noche grito en tu presencia;+ llegue hasta ti mi súplica,inclina tu oído a mi clamor.Porque mi alma está colmada de desdichas,y mi vida está al borde del abismo;ya me cuentan con los que bajan a la fosa,soy como un inválido.Tengo mi cama entre los muertos,como los caídos que yacen en el sepulcro,de los cuales ya no guardas memoria,porque fueron arrancados de tu mano.Me has colocado en lo hondo de la fosa,en las tinieblas del fondo;tu cólera pesa sobre mí,me echas encima todas tus olas.Has alejado de mí a mis conocidos,me has hecho repugnante para ellos:encerrado, no puedo salir,y los ojos se me nublan de pesar.Todo el día te estoy invocando,tendiendo las manos hacia ti.¿Harás tú maravillas por los muertos?¿Se alzarán las sombras para darte gracias?¿Se anuncia en el sepulcro tu misericordia,o tu fidelidad en el reino de la muerte?¿Se conocen tus maravillas en la tiniebla,o tu justicia en el país del olvido?Pero yo te pido auxilio,por la mañana irá a tu encuentro mi súplica.¿Por qué, Señor, me rechazasy me escondes tu rostro?Desde niño fui desgraciado y enfermo,me doblo bajo el peso de tus terrores,pasó sobre mí tu incendio,tus espantos me han consumido:me rodean como las aguas todo el día,me envuelven todos a una;alejaste de mí amigos y compañeros:mi compañía son las tinieblas.LECTURA BREVETú estás en medio de nosotros, Señor, tu nombre ha sido invocado sobre nosotros: no nos abandones, Señor Dios nuestro.RESPONSORIO BREVEV. En tus manos, Señor, encomiendo mi espíritu.R. En tus manos, Señor, encomiendo mi espíritu.V. Tú, el Dios leal, nos librarás.R. Te encomiendo mi espíritu.V. Gloria al Padre, y al Hijo, y al Espíritu Santo.R. En tus manos, Señor, encomiendo mi espíritu.CÁNTICO EVANGÉLICOAnt.

Amén.Ant. Sálvanos, Señor, despiertos, protégenos mientras dormimos, para que velemos con Cristo y descansemos en paz.OREMOSSeñor, Dios todopoderoso: ya que con nuestro descanso vamos a imitar a tu Hijo que reposó en el sepulcro, te pedimos que, al levantarnos mañana, lo imitemos también resucitando a una vida nueva. Por Cristo nuestro Señor.CONCLUSIÓNV. El Señor todopoderoso nos conceda una noche tranquila y una santa muerte.R. Amén.ANTÍFONA FINAL DE LA SANTISIMA VIRGENDios te salve,  Reina y Madre de misericordia, vida, dulzura y esperanza nuestra, Dios te salve. A ti llamamos  los desterrados hijos de Eva, a ti suspiramos, gimiendo y llorando, en este valle de lágrimas. Ea, pues, Señora, abogada nuestra, vuelve a nosotros esos tus ojos misericordiosos, y después de este destierro muéstranos a Jesús, fruto bendito de tu vientre. Oh clemente, oh piadosa, oh dulce Virgen María!  (65)

EA pleide å være ganske gøy. De fleste av oss har varme minner av en oppvekst der nydelige spill som Def Jam Vendetta, SSX Tricky, FIFA 15 (beste ever?) og NBA Street begynte med lydlogoen E. A. SPORTS. ITSINTHEGAME. Men noe skjedde på veien.Med mangelen på utfordrere til sportsspill og med et stadig økende monopol, ble sportsspillene til EA dårligere og dårligere. Skills ble erstattet med pakkeåpning og FOMO, EA BIG ble lagt ned og 2K måtte gi seg på alle andre fronter enn basket.Så: hva ønsker vi oss i et skikkelig godt sportsspill? Hvorfor gir ikke EA oss det? Og er Rocket League egentlig det moderne EA BIG-spillet? Det er det Espen og jeg forsøker å finne ut i ukas Sidequest. God helg! Hosted on Acast.

In The EA Campus Podcast Ep 90, we sit down with Alicia and Yvette, the creators of the EA Salary Survey, to explore how the report came to life and why having a large, representative dataset really matters. We talk about the difference between small, skewed reports and meaningful data, and why transparency around respondent numbers is essential when you're making career decisions.We unpack the key findings from 2024 and 2025 across the US, UK, Canada, and Australia. EA salaries are above regional averages in most areas; education does not automatically determine earnings; and only two specific benefits in each country truly move the needle on job satisfaction. Career progression, however, consistently impacts whether people plan to stay or leave.We also discuss hybrid versus remote working, peak earning years, and the gap between actual salary and salary satisfaction. One of the most important insights is that perception and progression often matter more than headline figures. Context is everything. Location, industry, and experience all play a role.Finally, we share practical advice on how to use the report properly. Read it carefully. Compare like-for-like. Use it as part of a strategic business case rather than a blunt instrument. This episode is about perspective, evidence, and helping you make informed decisions about your career. The EA Campus

In this episode of The Healing & Human Potential Podcast, I sit down with Elizabeth April, a clairvoyant and remote viewer, to dive into her predictions for humanity over the next 5 years. We explore the breakdown of old systems, the global shift between love and fear, and how these changes will transform our world. We also discuss the concept of timeline hopping and how it can help us navigate uncertainty and manifest new realities.   Elizabeth opens up about her experiences with alien abductions and her use of CIA-backed remote viewing techniques to access hidden locations and gather detailed information. We also explore the profound role AI will play in our awakening process, challenging our perception of reality in ways we've never experienced before.   If you're curious about the world's evolution and how you can align with these changes to step into a more conscious future, this episode is for you. === Guest Bio: Elizabeth April (EA) is a fast-rising voice in the wellness and consciousness space, known for redefining anxiety as a powerful energetic signal, not a flaw or diagnosis.

After a volatile few months across games, tech, and public markets, it's time for a grounded check-in on where the industry actually stands. Host Devin Becker is joined by Aaron Bush (Managing Partner & Co-Founder, Naavik) to unpack the latest signals – from AAA publisher performance and what recent EA earnings suggest for big franchises like Battlefield, to Ubisoft's ongoing restructuring, studio closures, and the push to reframe its future through initiatives like Vantage Studios.Next, they dig into Roblox's continued growth and what its recent results imply, even as age-related scrutiny and safety conversations remain part of the narrative.From there, the discussion widens to the state of the console market: the early momentum around Switch 2 sales, the trajectory of Xbox hardware, and why Sony appears to be holding its ground.Devin and Aaron also look at how transmedia is shaping perception and demand, including Nintendo's recent moves and what releases like an upcoming Mario Galaxy movie – and the surprise success of Iron Lung this month – reveal about IP leverage, audience crossover, and timing.They close with addressing the market whiplash around the reveal of Google DeepMind's Genie 3, and a “buy, sell, or hold” round covering Microsoft, Krafton, AAA vs. AA, and PC gaming to highlight where near-term opportunities and risks may be emerging.We'd like to thank Heroic Labs for making this episode possible!

Steven is joined this week by Kyle Willis, VP of Growth at BELAY, as they discuss the power of delegating in their own lives and the value an EA can bring to a team. Steven, of course, draws plenty of parallels to tax planning and how delegation can help in that process, but Kyle joins in to give us yet another reminder of some of the things that are, in fact, more important than taxes. Listen in as they share best practices and pitfalls to avoid when it comes to delegation and leveling up in 2026 https://zurl.co/fJ1CD
