Soy un gran aficionado al fútbol y el pasado miércoles, como media España,seguí con interés la final de la Copa del Rey entre el FC Barcelona y el Real Madrid. Lo dejo claro porque sé que mis palabras pueden resultar impopulares, aunque no por ello menos ciertas.

La música vuelve a encontrarse en situación peligrosa, desaparece de los planes de estudio al punto de convertirse en asignatura 'maría' para nuestros hijos. Por no hablar del recorte de subvenciones. La historia nos dice que dar tan poca importancia a la formación musical es un error.

Facebook acaba de publicar su segundo estudio anual sobre el estado de la conexión a Internet en el mundo. Y algunos datos son sorprendentes. Por ejemplo, ¿sabías que el coste de  conectarse a Internet en Kenia supone el 30% del salario medio?

La televisión se enfrenta a caídas de espectadores similares a las que sufría la prensa a principios de siglo. ¿Qué hacer? Aprender de la industria musical, que ya obtiene más del 45% de sus ingresos de plataformas de streaming y ventas digitales.

Mientras la realidad virtual o los bots son dos tendencias que tardarán en asentarse, el vídeo en 360º es una realidad con la que los medios ya deben comenzar a experimentar. Es asequible, sencillo y no hace falta calzarse un casco para disfrutar de la experiencia.

Los grandes distribuidores de vídeo en Internet quieren captar a los creadores. Para ello no escatiman en gastos. Facebook pagaría a algunos medios y pesonajes famosos hasta 250.000 dólares por 20 vídeos en directo cada tres meses.

It's good to have a record of the things you posted and when you posted it. On August 12 of this year, I tweeted this: "When the NYT makes Trump sound like a reasonable candidate that a sane person might vote for, remember this day." I included a screen shot of the front page of the NYT on Jan 7, 2021. One in three Trump voters still watch mainstream news, which follows the lead of the NYT, and if they had been straight with us, perhaps enough people who like Trump's style would have realized the danger, and voted in a conservative way, ie to conserve the Constitution. Because of how they covered it, we now get to re-run the 2016 experiment all over again.

But, as Heather Cox Richardson points out in Jon Stewart's weekly podcast (a must-listen) -- we have more experience too, and perhaps will know better how to deal with Trump and know that his bark is often worse than his bite. I have to say as the new reality sinks in, I'm not as scared as I was on Election Night last week or even Election Night in 2016. A lot of people will sell out this time who didn't before. But the problems of climate change have gotten worse in the intervening years, and people feel it in their bones, pocketbooks and fears. You think inflation was bad? This will be far worse and it's happening now, and nothing we can do at a human scale will make it go away.

We're dealing with a very unusual drought in the eastern US now. Fires are breaking out where we never used to have them. Yeah this shit is real, and even people who don't believe in science are feeling it.

As someone once said, you should never waste a good crisis. A lot of other people feel compelled to move. Unfortunately some are moving to the wrong place, as they always do. Making change isn't easy, but is possible, if you understand how people move. As they try to figure out what the Dem's failed at, that's it.

Skate to where the puck will be, not where it was, as another famous philosopher once said. And people don't listen to their friends, they listen to their competitors (which I said, sadly, but then put that fact to use to get various standards to fly by without debate). There is a method to human madness, in other words, imho.

India's edible oil imports saw a slight dip of 3.09% in the 2023-24 oil year, reaching 159.6 lakh tonnes. This decrease is attributed to a boost in domestic oilseed production and a slight decline in demand due to price increases. Despite the overall decrease, sunflower oil imports actually rose, while imports of other oils like palm and soybean oil decreased.

The expansions are expected to be completed over the next 24 months, with phase 1 of the total expansion at Indri plant of malt and ethanol reaching completion in early 2025. At its Indri plant, the company is expanding its warehousing infrastructure to accommodate over 1 lakh barrels.
