Elena Pigozzi"Le sarte della Villarey"Mondadori Editorewww.mondadori.itAncona, 1943. La guerra semina dolore, spezza le famiglie e svuota le case. Lo sa bene Laura, che a diciotto anni è rimasta con il fratello Milo perché la madre è mancata da poco, mentre il padre è a combattere in Grecia e da tempo non dà più notizie. Sarà Alda, vedova forte e generosa che ha cresciuto da sola quattro figlie e che è sarta e factotum alla caserma Villarey, ad aiutare Laura, portandola con sé in caserma perché le dia una mano. E mentre Laura impara il nuovo mestiere, la storia subisce cambi repentini: la caduta del Duce, l'armistizio di Badoglio, l'Italia spaccata in due. Quando il 15 settembre Ancona è occupata dai tedeschi, alla Villarey vengono rinchiusi più di tremila soldati italiani, in attesa di essere deportati in Germania nei campi di lavoro nazisti. Alda però non ci sta ed escogita un piano per l'evasione perfetta. Tratto da un'incredibile quanto straordinaria storia vera, Le sarte della Villarey è un'emozionantissima celebrazione della forza delle donne, un esempio di resilienza e Resistenza che diventa grido di speranza ed esortazione a non rassegnarsi mai al buio del mondo.Elena Pigozzi è scrittrice, giornalista e insegnante. Con Piemme ha pubblicato L'ultima ricamatrice (2020, premio Pavoncella per la creatività femminile), La signora dell'acqua (2022, premio Melvin Jones e premio internazionale di letteratura Città di Como), con Marsilio Uragano d'estate (2009, premio internazionale Città di Penne Opera Prima) e con Giunti il saggio Letteratura al femminile (1998).

Mármores (1895) é o primeiro livro de Francisca Julia da Silva (1871-1920) que a autora lançou aos 24 anos, quando seus poemas espraiavam-se em jornais e causavam admiração.

Wat is een goede eerste worp voor een festival? En waarom zijn we nou precies zo enthousiast over de eerste 48 namen van Lowlands? We spreken ze rustig met je door: wat zijn de grote knallers, waar zien we Job Jobse en Ki/Ki het liefst, wie zijn de spannende snoepjes? En verder in deze Machine: lang niet elk festival is zo populair als Lowlands, dus wat doe je als festivalorganisator als het mis gaat? Over de onverwachte terugkeer van Alda en de chaos rond reggaefestival Chillville.

Anlässlich des Tages der Menschenrechte 2024 waren im Livepodcast: „Menschenrechte nachgefragt“ zwei Zeitzeugen zu Gast, mit denen wir über die Friedliche Revolution 1989 gesprochen haben. Die Botschafterin der Republik Lettland in Deutschland, Alda Vanaga, erinnerte an den Baltischen Weg: Am 23. August 1989, dem 50. Jahrestag des Hitler-Stalin-Paktes, bildeten mehr als zwei Millionen Balten eine 700 Kilometer lange Menschenkette – vom estländischen Tallinn über das lettische Riga bis zum litauischen Vilnius. Sie demonstrierten für die Unabhängigkeit von der Sowjetunion, die die baltischen Staaten im Ergebnis des Hitler-Stalin-Paktes annektiert hatte. Der friedliche Freiheitskampf der Balten war opferreich. Die Sowjetunion versuchte bis zuletzt – auch unter Einsatz militärischer Gewalt – die Unabhängigkeit der drei Sowjetrepubliken zu verhindern. Erst im September 1991 erkannte die UdSSR sie an. Es ist in ihrer Geschichte begründet, dass die die baltischen Staaten – zwanzig Jahre nach ihrem Beitritt zur NATO und EU – fest an der Seite der Ukraine stehen und die pro-europäischen Kräfte in Georgien unterstützen. Unser zweiter Gast im Livepodcast ist Hermann Gröhe MdB, stellvertretender Vorsitzender der CDU/CSU-Bundestagsfraktion und der Konrad-Adenauer-Stiftung. Wir sprechen mit ihm über seine persönlichen Erinnerungen an die Friedliche Revolution in der DDR und wie er als „Mauerspecht“ im November 1989 das Ende der Diktatur gefeiert hat. Das Gespräch mit Hermann Gröhe erscheint in 14 Tagen, am Mittwoch, 22. Januar 2025.

A crise na habitação é um dos temas mais transversais a todas as economias industrializadas, com o preço das casas a crescer a um ritmo duas ou três vezes superior ao dos salários desde a viragem do século. Anos a fio de juros baixos,  liquidez financeira sem precedentes e aumento exponencial do turismo, tornaram a habitação num dos mais atraentes ativos financeiros. Em Portugal, em apenas um ano assistimos uma alteração legislativa de 180 graus numa área chave como esta. De um pacote legislativo como o Mais Habitação, que tentava reforçar o mercado de arrendamento com incentivos fiscais e a penalização do Alojamento Local, passámos para o estímulo da procura, com apoios ao crédito, desregulação do Alojamento Local e isenção fiscal para os jovens até 35 anos. Doutorada em Demografia pela Universidade Autónoma de Barcelona, Alda Botelho Azevedo é investigadora auxiliar no Instituto de Ciências Sociais da Universidade de Lisboa e professora auxiliar convidada no Instituto Superior de Ciências Sociais e Políticas. É coordenadora do doutoramento em Ciências da População pelo ICS e membro da Comissão Científica. A sua investigação centra-se sobretudo no estudo da demografia da habitação e do envelhecimento demográfico.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

How acceptance and authenticity can transform all of our interactions.What's the key to experiencing deeper connection in our communication? According to Alan Alda, it starts with acceptance — of others and ourselves."Connecting, communicating, and clarity," Alda explains, "they're all based on hearing what the other person is really saying; letting the person be real; accepting them.” As an acclaimed actor, writer, director, and author of If I Understood You, Would I Have This Look on My Face?, Alda has spent much of his career exploring how acceptance enables us to be our authentic selves, leading to better communication and truer connection. “There's nothing more engaging than the real you,” he says.Also the founder of the Alan Alda Center for Communicating Science at Stony Brook University, Alda strives to help scientists and health professionals communicate more effectively with the public. “Science can't do its work unless it gets funded. And it can't get funded if people don't understand what the scientists are trying to do,” he says.In this episode of Think Fast, Talk Smart, Alda and host Matt Abrahams discuss how acceptance and authenticity can transform all of our interactions, from complicated science conversations to everyday communication.Episode Reference Links:Alan AldaAlan's Book: If I Understood You, Would I have This Look on My Face? Alan Alda Center for Communicating Science Ep.82 It's Not About You: Why Effective Communicators Put Others First Ep.114 Communication Means Paying Attention: The Four Pillars of Active Listening Connect:Email Questions & Feedback >>> hello@fastersmarter.ioEpisode Transcripts >>> Think Fast Talk Smart WebsiteNewsletter Signup + English Language Learning >>> FasterSmarter.ioThink Fast Talk Smart >>> LinkedIn, Instagram, YouTubeMatt Abrahams >>> LinkedInChapters:(00:00:00) IntroductionHost Matt Abrahams introduces guest Alan Alda, an actor and communication expert.(00:00:59) Motivation for CommunicationWhat led to Alan's passion for helping scientists communicate effectively.(00:02:59) Avoiding Communication PitfallsCommon communication mistakes and the importance of experiential learning.(00:05:15) The Role of Clarity and VividnessHow clear, vivid communication makes messages memorable.(00:06:22) Reflection in CommunicationReflecting on conversations to foster connection.(00:07:12) Connection in ConversationsThe role of early connection in communication.(00:08:27) Reframing Communication AnxietyReframing communication anxiety by focusing on connection.(00:10:07) Asking Meaningful QuestionsThe importance of genuine curiosity in asking good questions.(00:11:02) Matt's Communication JourneyMatt recalls a childhood experience that inspired his passion for communication.(00:12:49) The Art of StorytellingHow vividness and structure create engaging stories.(00:15:16) The Final Three QuestionsAlan shares an area of communication he is working on, a communicator he admires, and his recipe for successful communication.(00:17:23) Conclusion (00:00) - Introduction (01:57) - Motivation for Communication (03:57) - Avoiding Communication Pitfalls (06:13) - The Role of Clarity and Vividness (07:20) - Reflection in Communication (08:10) - Connection in Conversations (09:25) - Reframing Communication Anxiety (11:05) - Asking Meaningful Questions (12:00) - Matt's Communication Journey (13:47) - The Art of Storytelling (16:14) - The Final Three Questions (18:21) - Conclusion

HEART WORN OUT & AGAINST THE WALL, 6min., Romania Directed by Izabella Sandra Alda, Ovidiu Claudiu Moldovan This short “Heart Worn Out & Against The Wall” is a short movie about loneliness and fear. Fear of losing a loved one, of being superficial, of being unlovable. About the struggles of filling a void that can never be filled and mannerisms used to cope with these feelings. About wanting affection but not being able to deal with human interactions. About feeling disconnected, but never allowing this to be seen, and thus, constantly having to deal with the inauthenticity. https://www.facebook.com/midoristarsmidore https://twitter.com/midoristars24 https://www.instagram.com/midoristars/ Get to know director/singer Izabella Sandra Alda: Ren's music video for "Hi Ren" ahaha. When I saw his video, it really gave me the confidence to make a similar music video, as I already had a piano version of "Against The Wall" and the "Heart Worn Out" spoken word poetry. It was meant to be something really simple, a one-shot type of video filmed from different angles, but while working on the script, it naturally shifted into what it is now.

Klarnetists un mūzikas pedagogs Aldis Kolosovs līdz šim savu dziesmu autora personības šķautni bija atklājis tikai dziesminieku konkursa “Tīrradnis” publikai. Tur arī abi satikās ar mūziķi un ieraksta producentu Edgaru Šubrovski. Tapa mūzikas albums “Neesam sīkumaini” ar Kārļa Vērdiņa dzeju no krājuma “Pieaugušie”(2015). Ko nozīmē “pieaugušais”? Raidījumā Augstāk par zemi šo jautājumu uzdodam visiem trim albuma tapšanā iesaistītajiem. Mūzikas albums “Neesam sīkumaini” tapis visai neierastā ceļā. Aldis Kolosovs sēdies pie klavierēm un iedziedājis dziesmas, un tālāk jau Ingus Baušķenieks, ieraksts tapa viņa studijā, mūziķi Edgars Rubenis, Niks Moss Rodžers, likuši klāt savas muzikālās idejas. Ierakstā piedalās arī Edgars Mākens, Inese Bērziņa, Marija Valmiera, Sniedze Prauliņa, Sandis Bārdiņš. Vēlme veidot portretraidījumu dzima krietni pirms mūzikas albuma “Neesam sīkumaini” piedzimšanas, kad pirms gada ieraudzīju Aldi Kolosovu Austras biedrības rīkotajā dziesminieku konkursā “Tīrradnis”. Alda Kolosova albumu var noklausīties internetā.

Are you convincing everyone you're smart, or accidentally alienating them? Here's how to find out. While jargon has the advantage of communicating a lot of information in a short amount of time, it has deeply alienating effects on those even slightly outside the field of reference. Director, actor, and master communicator Alan Alda uses examples from film sets and hospital rooms to illustrate jargon's impact on our interactions, and how it can exclude those we are trying to communicate with. Now more than ever, we need to find ways to foster connections and encourage close relationships with one another. The solution, Alda explains, is to use jargon only when you are confident that it is completely understood by the person you are speaking with. Otherwise, you risk losing the opportunity to truly communicate, causing misunderstanding and even disinterest. Approaching conversations with this level of empathy creates an environment where all listeners can feel included, encouraging them to learn, share their ideas, and continue keeping knowledge accessible. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ ❍ About The Well ❍ Do we inhabit a multiverse? Do we have free will? What is love? Is evolution directional? There are no simple answers to life's biggest questions, and that's why they're the questions occupying the world's brightest minds. So what do they think? How is the power of science advancing understanding? How are philosophers and theologians tackling these fascinating questions? Let's dive into The Well.

I'm sure you've seen the flooding on the news in Brazil—the worst in recorded history. But for many of us, we don't know people from Brazil. We see that as somebody else's problem. Alda Boiani is in the studio right now, and that subject is extremely close to home for her. She owns 12 Cuts Brazilian Steakhouse, and they are holding an event to help those in need in Brazil.

ROOMMATES, 9min., USA Directed by J Brooke, Beatrice Alda After completing lengthy prison terms (for murder and arson, respectively), two women forge a strong bond within a nursing home catering to the formerly incarcerated. Creating a positive present tense in the wake of complicated pasts, these survivors cling to simplicity, routine, and each other. Get to know the filmmakers: I (Beatrice) have a strong interest in prison reform. I had read a local CT article about this nursing home that serves the formerly incarcerated – and they are the only ones in the country doing so- filling an enormous whole in the realm of post-incarceration issues.

Balthrop-Lewis's Thoreau's Religion: Walden Woods, Social Justice, and the Politics of Asceticism (Cambridge UP, 2021) presents a ground-breaking interpretation of Henry David Thoreau's most famous book, Walden. Rather than treating Walden Woods as a lonely wilderness, Balthrop-Lewis demonstrates that Thoreau's ascetic life was a form of religious practice dedicated to cultivating a just, multispecies community. The book makes an important contribution to scholarship in religious studies, political theory, English, environmental studies, and critical theory by offering the first sustained reading of Thoreau's religiously motivated politics. In Balthrop-Lewis's vision, practices of renunciation like Thoreau's can contribute to reforming social and political life. This book transforms Thoreau's image, making him a vital source for a world beset by inequality and climate change. Balthrop-Lewis argues for an environmental politics in which ecological flourishing is impossible without economic and social justice. Alda Balthrop-Lewis is a Research Fellow at the Institute for Religion and Critical Inquiry at Australian Catholic University, Melbourne. She holds a Ph.D. in Religion from Princeton University and has taught Religious Studies at Brown University. Her research, which focuses on religious ethics and the circulation of ideas among theological, artistic, and popular idioms, has appeared in the Journal of the American Academy of Religion and the Journal of Religious Ethics.
