Dopo il referendum sulla cittadinanza, di cui abbiamo parlato quindici giorni fa, siamo a poche ore dal voto e ci dedichiamo ai quattro quesiti dedicati al lavoro. Tre riguardano delle norme entrate in vigore con il “contratto a tutele crescenti”, noto anche come Jobs Act, che vale per le persone assunte dal 2015 in poi. Sostanzialmente, dal 2015 in poi chi viene assunto ha dei diritti diversi da chi era stato assunto prima nella stessa azienda. Il quarto invece si occupa di responsabilità negli appalti. Sentiremo la storia di un sindacalista che, licenziato ingiustamente, se fosse stato assunto dopo il 2015 non avrebbe avuto il reintegro in azienda. Prima però, ci occupiamo del sindaco di Maclodio Simone Zanetti, che intima le scuole a rimuovere le bandiere che ricordano che la Costituzione italiana ripudia la guerra. E Fratelli d'Italia, che scorda la Strage di Piazza della Loggia ma chiede di ricordare Ramelli. Andremo a Manerbio, con Finchimica che minaccia l'Arpa. E una pillola di sport.

In this episode of The Broadband Bunch, recorded live from Connected America 2025, host Brad Hine sits down with Edyn Rolls, Chief Strategic Officer and founding member of the Oklahoma Broadband Office. As a key leader driving the state's broadband expansion efforts, Edyn shares insights into Oklahoma's $500 million deployment of ARPA funds, the BEAD subgrantee selection process, and how the state is adapting to shifting federal policies. They dive into strategies for serving rural and tribal communities, replacing the now-defunct Affordable Connectivity Program (ACP), and balancing fiber ambitions with real-world terrain challenges. Edyn also opens up about her personal broadband journey—from grant-writing novice to statewide broadband leader—and the passion she brings to ensuring equitable access for every Oklahoman.

Y es que el ser humano no es inmune a este riesgo. El libro Porque pensamos lo que pensamos (Arpa) de Vicent Botella I Solé y Javier López, con quien conversamos, lo explica.

Zarpa El Arpa - 31 de mayo 2025 by Radiotelevisión de Veracruz

“Every time you make commitments and you hold them you get stronger. And every time you make commitments and you break them you get weaker.”  A man's strength isn't in his flex—it's in his follow-through. In a culture that elevates convenience over character, men must anchor their lives in commitments, not shifting priorities. When a man commits and delivers, he strengthens both his character and his credibility. But when he defaults to vague priorities and excuses, his self-trust and social value erode. Living by commitment simplifies decision-making and amplifies masculinity.  Consistency in commitment—especially when life gets hard—is what separates men of substance from those living by excuses. In a world that rewards comfort, holding firm to your agreements becomes a radical act of self-respect and brotherhood. This builds trust and cultivates personal growth that priorities alone can never deliver.  Rob Arpa is an entrepreneur, father and co-host of the Sovereign Man Podcast.  You're invited to come to a Sovereign Circle meeting to experience it for yourself.

Por si hubiera alguna duda de que el padre de Àngels Barceló era un sabio, hoy el fisioterapeuta Álvaro Pinteño, que acaba de publicar "¡Joder, cómo duele!" (editorial Arpa), ha venido a darle la razón: casi todos los dolores remiten o mejoran en 48 o 72 horas, de forma que, muchas veces, el trabajo del fisioterapeuta es tan eficaz como el placebo. El caso es que el masaje sí libera sustancias químicas analgésicas, pero sobre todo porque el paciente se siente atendido, escuchado, reconfortado. Para Pinteño es clave que las personas no se identifiquen con su etiqueta diagnóstica, algo que puede llegar a ser incapacitante y, sobre todo, aprender estrategias de afrontamiento eficaces para que el dolor no se adueñe de tu vida. 

The Out of Tune InstrumentsOn the bank of a stream, where a great many colorful little fish swam, lived a small family: mamma, babbo, and their seven children — four boys and three girls. Their house was a bit far from the town of Strumentopoli, but being close to the stream and next to the Great Forest made it a wonderful place to live.Mamma lovingly tended the vegetable garden. Babbo, on the other hand, was a woodworker who crafted musical instruments from the finest trunks, chosen among the sturdiest and most fragrant trees in the forest.The children went to school in the village. In winter, they reached it on skis, while in spring and autumn they rode in a cart pulled by two young deer — one white and one black, like the keys of a piano.Before they left, babbo counted them one by one to make sure no one was missing. Then, as he did every day, he reminded them:“Behave yourselves, don't skip school, and remember the tale of Pinocchio and his nose!”Those words always ended with a smile from everyone.Babbo would then return to his workshop. His instruments were well-made, using excellent materials, but there was one problem: they were out of tune. Still, as a good luthier, he didn't lose heart. His passion for music was so strong that teaching his children to play had become a joy. He even gave them special names: Chitarra, Violino, Oboe, Liuto, Arpa, Bongo, and Ukulele.Mamma didn't object. Of course, naming them after vegetables might have been funny, but their village friends probably would've made fun of them.The children did well in school, and when they came home, they helped mamma in the garden. One day, though, they mistook some nettle plants for lettuce — what a sting! They all ran straight to the stream and jumped in to soothe the burning.The little fish burst into laughter:“You're so silly! Ah ah ah!”Mamma helped them out of the water and, turning to the fish, said:“This evening, at sunset, there will be a concert in our courtyard. My children will perform with their instruments. You're all invited!”The fish replied enthusiastically:“Thanks for the invitation! We'll be there for sure — it's going to rain, and we love splashing! Splich, sploch, splach!”That evening turned out to be a real party. At the concert of slightly strange and delightfully quirky music, everyone had a blast: the musicians, the animals from the forest, and even the fish — who mamma cheerfully sprayed with water.After that joyful evening, life went back to its usual pace: school, garden, and even the forest. In fact, during their free time, the children often helped babbo choose and cut wood to build his instruments.The Great Forest had become familiar to them. So one day, while they were playing there and climbing trees, the kids spotted a group of gnomes huddled together, looking agitated. They quickly hid behind some bushes to observe and listen in on their conversation.The meeting, called in great haste, was to make a decision about an imminent danger. A powerful storm was on the way. They spoke of a hurricane wind that hadn't been seen or heard in a hundred years — or perhaps even longer — and it was heading for the forest.“We must stop it, by any means,” said the gnomes.So they decided to call on an old ally: the Great Warrior of the Mountain, armed with a sword and magical powers. He was the one who, in the past, had already defeated dragons and even extraterrestrials who had tried to conquer Earth.The seven children, alarmed by the news and determined to help in the battle, ran quickly back to the house — also to warn the villagers of the impending danger. Meanwhile, the wind drew closer. You could hear it from afar — wild and howling. As it passed, the trees bent until their tops brushed the ground. Some swayed, others snapped, and a few were completely uprooted.The people of Strumentopoli, who had begun to feel the wind blowing through the village streets and saw the Great Warrior descending the mountain, grew concerned — but they didn't panic. Everyone grabbed their instruments and rushed toward the house by the stream to help the family who lived there, and together try to save the Great Forest.At the same time, the colorful fish arrived — united and determined — along with the other animals of the woods and stream.“All together we can form a barrier and block the wind!” they shouted in unison.At that moment, the children of the family — still out of breath from running — stepped forward and said:“We have our babbo's instruments too. They're strange, a bit out of tune… but if we all play together, maybe we can stop the storm.” And with that, they rushed into the house and came back out in no time at all.The gnomes, fully aware of the instruments' flaws, cast a powerful musical spell. When the children began to play, something magical happened. For the first time, the music was melodious, harmonious, and full of feeling.One by one, all the people of Strumentopoli joined in. Each person, with their own instrument, contributed as if they were all part of one great orchestra.The hurricane wind — engaged in a fierce battle with the Great Warrior of the Mountain — heard the music from afar and immediately began to calm. Its howling softened, and by the time it reached the forest, it had become a cool mountain gust, and finally… a gentle valley breeze.The wind had become part of that marvelous orchestra — the battle was won thanks to everyone. Each had offered their own music and helped bring about the victory.“United we are strong,” they all said proudly.The babbo luthier continued building instruments with the finest wood the forest had to offer. They were so beautiful and sounded so good that people said they were the most melodic ever heard.The children — Chitarra, Violino, Oboe, Liuto, Arpa, Bongo, and Ukulele — joined the village band. At every festival, they played with great success, cheered on by applause and warm smiles. Even the gnomes and the Great Warrior listened to their music… from the forest and the mountain.The colorful fish swam and danced happily in the stream, and when someone passed by, they greeted them with joyful splashes.The family continued to live near the Great Forest, and on summer evenings, when everything finally grew quiet, they would lie along the stream and watch the stars above. Their hearts would tell stories… and the night would write the happy ending of every tale.

Strumenti StonatiSulla riva di un ruscello, dove nuotava una gran quantità di pesciolini di tutti i colori, abitava una famigliola: mamma, babbo e sette figlioli — quattro maschietti e tre femminucce.La loro casa era un po' distante dal paese di Strumentopoli, ma vicini al ruscello e accanto al Grande Bosco ci si stava proprio bene.La mamma coltivava con cura le verdure nell'orto. Il babbo, invece, era un artigiano del legno e creava strumenti musicali con i tronchi migliori, scelti tra gli alberi più solidi e profumati del bosco.I ragazzi andavano a scuola in paese. In inverno ci arrivavano con gli sci, mentre in primavera e autunno viaggiavano su un carretto trainato da due cerbiatti — uno bianco e uno nero, come le note del pianoforte. Prima della partenza, il babbo li contava uno per uno per assicurarsi che nessuno mancasse. Poi, come ogni giorno, si raccomandava“Comportatevi bene, non marinate la scuola e ricordatevi la favola di Pinocchio e del suo naso!”A quelle parole si salutavano tutti con un sorriso.Il babbo tornava poi al suo lavoro. I suoi strumenti erano costruiti con cura e ottimo materiale, ma c'era un problema: erano stonati. Da buon liutaio, però, non si scoraggiava e la sua passione per la musica era così grande che insegnare ai figli a suonare era stato un divertimento. Aveva perfino scelto per loro nomi speciali: Chitarra, Violino, Oboe, Liuto, Arpa, Bongo e Ukulele.La mamma non fece obiezione. D'altronde, chiamarli con i nomi delle verdure sarebbe stato simpatico, ma forse i loro amici del paese li avrebbero presi in giro.I bambini erano bravi a scuola, e quando tornavano a casa, si davano da fare nell'orto, aiutando la mamma. Un giorno, però, scambiarono delle piantine di ortica per lattuga: che pizzicore! E allora via tutti di corsa, un tuffo nel ruscello per rinfrescarsi e calmare il bruciore. I pesciolini si sbellicavano dalle risate:“Ma siete proprio sciocchi! Ah ah ah!”La mamma li aiutò a uscire dall'acqua e, rivolta ai pesci, disse:“Stasera, al tramonto, ci sarà un concerto nel cortile di casa. Si esibiranno i miei figli con i loro strumenti. Siete tutti invitati!”I pesci risposero con entusiasmo:“Bene, grazie per l'invito! Arriveremo fin lì, tanto pioverà e sguazzare si potrà. Splich, sploch, splach!”Quella sera fu una vera festa. Al concerto di musica un po' strana e strampalata, tutti si divertirono da matti: i musicisti, gli animali arrivati dal bosco, e pure i pesci — che la mamma provvedeva a spruzzare con l'acqua.Dopo quella serata allegra, la vita riprese tranquilla, tra scuola, orto e anche il bosco. Infatti, nel tempo libero, a volte ci andavano ad aiutare il babbo a scegliere e tagliare il legno per costruire i suoi strumenti. Il Grande Bosco era ormai un luogo familiare per loro. Così, un giorno, mentre ci giocavano arrampicandosi sugli alberi, i ragazzini videro un gruppo di gnomi che complottavano irrequieti. Si nascosero dietro a dei cespugli, ad osservare e ascoltare i loro discorsi.La riunione, convocata in gran fretta, era per prendere una decisione su un pericolo imminente. C'era una pericolosa tempesta in arrivo. Si parlava di un vento d'uragano che non si era mai visto né sentito da cent'anni — o forse più — e che stava per raggiungere il bosco.“Bisogna fermarlo, con ogni mezzo,” dicevano gli gnomi.Così, decisero di chiedere aiuto a un vecchio alleato: il Grande Guerriero Della Montagna, armato di spada e poteri magici. Colui che in passato aveva già sconfitto draghi e perfino extraterrestri che volevano conquistare la Terra.I sette bambini, allarmati dalla notizia e decisi ad aiutare nella battaglia, corsero velocemente verso casa, anche per avvisare gli abitanti del villaggio del pericolo incombente. Intanto il vento si avvicinava. Si sentiva da lontano: era selvaggio e ululante. Al suo passaggio, gli alberi si piegavano fino a sfiorare il suolo. Alcuni ondeggiavano, altri si spezzavano o venivano sradicati.Gli abitanti di Strumentopoli, che cominciavano a sentire il vento per le strade del paese e videro il Grande Guerriero scendere dalla montagna, si allarmarono, ma non si fecero prendere dal panico. Ognuno prese il loro strumento e tutti si misero a correre verso la casa sul ruscello per aiutare la famiglia che ci viveva e insieme a loro provare a salvare il Grande Bosco.Allo stesso tempo anche i pesciolini colorati arrivarono, uniti e determinati, e così fecero anche gli altri animali del bosco e del ruscello:“Tutti insieme possiamo formare una barriera e bloccare il vento!” Dissero all'unisono.A quel punto, anche i ragazzini della famiglia, rientrati affannati dalla corsa, si fecero avanti e dissero:“Anche noi abbiamo gli strumenti musicali del babbo; sono strani, un po' stonati… ma se li suoniamo tutti insieme, forse riusciremo a fermare la bufera.” E così dicendo entrarono in casa e tornarono in un battibaleno.Gli gnomi, conoscendo bene i limiti di quegli strumenti, con un incantesimo misero in atto una magia musicale molto potente.Quando i ragazzini iniziarono a suonare, accadde qualcosa di speciale. La musica, per la prima volta, fu melodiosa, armonica e coinvolgente. Ad uno ad uno anche tutti gli abitanti di Strumentopoli si aggregarono ed ognuno con il proprio strumento contribuì come se tutti fossero parte di una grande orchestra. Il vento d'uragano, che era impegnato in un combattimento furioso con il Grande Guerriero Della Montagna, la sentì da lontano e immediatamente cominciò a calmarsi. Il suo ululare iniziò a moderare di potenza e quando arrivò vicino al bosco era una fresca tramontana che, infine, si trasformò in una dolce brezza di valle. Il vento ora era divenuto parte di quella meravigliosa orchestra — la battaglia era stata vinta per merito di tutti. Ognuno aveva offerto la propria musica e aveva contribuito al successo. L'unione fa la forza. Dissero tutti insieme, soddisfatti.Il babbo liutaio continuò a costruire strumenti con i legni più pregiati offerti dal bosco. Erano talmente belli e suonavano così bene che si diceva fossero i più melodiosi mai ascoltati.I figli — Chitarra, Violino, Oboe, Liuto, Arpa, Bongo e Ukulele — entrarono a far parte della banda del paese. Ad ogni festa, suonavano con successo, tra applausi e sorrisi. Anche gli gnomi e il Grande Guerriero ascoltavano la loro musica… dal bosco e dalla montagna. I pesciolini colorati nuotavano e danzavano felici nel ruscello e quando qualcuno passava di lì, lo salutavano con allegri schizzi: “Splish! Splosh! Splash!”La famiglia continuò a vivere vicino al grande bosco e nelle sere d'estate, quando finalmente tutto diventava silenzioso, si sdraiavano lungo la riva del ruscello e guardavano le stelle in cielo. I loro cuori raccontavano… e la notte scriveva il lieto fine delle favole.-- Scritta da Lucia & Marco Ciappelli  Each story is currently written and narrated in both Italian and English.The translation from Italian (the original language) to English and the reading of the stories are performed using Generative Artificial Intelligence — which perhaps has a touch of magic...

Are you positive that you have the best financing in place? Ever question the charges or fees you're paying? Do you know what is industry standard versus excessive. Recently I had our partner Encore Funding look at 3 of my students previous agreements with finance companies and found many ways that they had been taken advantage of. For far too long this has become the industry norm and now with a trusted ethical company on our side we can rest assured that we are getting the best overall rate. Visit encoregov.com to have them review your current agreements at no charge to see if in fact we can help you keep more money so you can focus on what matters most, growing the business.  In this episode, I'm on-site at the City of Miami Procurement Event talking with Alejandro Irizarry from AtkinsRéalis, a global engineering and program management firm doing billion-dollar work across local, state, federal, and even international projects. Alejandro breaks down how small businesses can plug into massive public infrastructure opportunities—from capital improvement and ARPA-funded projects in Miami to managing futuristic developments like The Line in Saudi Arabia. If you're a small business ready to provide niche services like public engagement, inspections, surveying, or design work, this episode will open your eyes to just how valuable your piece of the puzzle is. Alejandro shares how AtkinsRéalis actively partners with small businesses to meet compliance requirements and boost project delivery. We discuss how firms can register as vendors, get pre-positioned, and align with city budgets and capital plans. Whether you're in Miami-Dade or anywhere in the U.S., there are ways to join their team and serve as consultants on everything from seawall redesigns to transit system upgrades.

BONUS: NVC, Walking Towards Conflict with Love With Maria Arpa and Bob Marshall In this BONUS episode, we explore Nonviolent Communication (NVC), a powerful tool that has changed how many people work and relate to family, friends, and colleagues. Maria Arpa, a previous guest on the podcast, and who studied directly under Marshall Rosenberg, the creator of NVC, shares her insights on this transformative practice. Joining us is Bob Marshall, an NVC advocate and practitioner who applies these principles in organizational settings. Understanding the Foundation of Nonviolent Communication "We have universal needs... what we try to distinguish is the need and the strategy I'm using to meet the need." Nonviolent Communication is both a practical communication tool and a spiritual practice designed to help us connect more authentically with ourselves and others. Maria explains how NVC emerged from the work of Dr. Marshall Rosenberg, who studied under Carl Rogers, the developer of person-centered therapy. At its core, NVC represents a paradigm shift away from what Maria calls "domination culture" – a system built on hierarchy, punishment, and obedience to rules. The dominant culture in which we live often relies on fear, guilt, and shame to motivate behavior. In contrast, NVC comes from the philosophy of nonviolence, encouraging people to be independent thinkers who make choices from their own internal compass. This approach recognizes that all people have the potential to manifest love, even in challenging situations. The Power of Needs-Based Theory "If I take a need for fairness or respect... how many ways are there to meet that need? And what if you believe you're meeting your need for fairness using whatever strategy you're using, and I believe that is impacting on my need for respect? We have a collision in strategies." A fundamental aspect of NVC is needs-based theory. Maria explains that while we all share universal needs – from basic physical requirements like air and food to psychological needs like creativity, recognition, and fairness – conflicts arise not from the needs themselves but from the strategies we use to meet those needs. This distinction between needs and strategies offers a powerful framework for resolving conflicts. When we understand that we're arguing over strategies, not the underlying needs, we can empathize with each other and explore different approaches that honor everyone's needs. As Maria advises, "Don't try to strategize until you understand all the needs on the table." Breaking Free from the Debate Model "The debate model of conversation is about one argument prevailing over all others... it's a terrible idea for when we want to meet as humans and have a conversation." Maria highlights how our society has embraced the debate model of conversation, where one perspective must win over others. This approach, while potentially useful in controlled settings like scientific research, creates significant problems in human interactions. When operating in debate mode, we're focused on overpowering others or protecting ourselves from humiliation rather than genuinely connecting. The dialogue roadmap that Maria developed offers an alternative to this debate model. It allows people to express themselves fully – to "empty out" everything they're carrying, even if it doesn't initially make coherent sense. This process helps people make sense of their experiences and move toward authentic dialogue rather than competitive debate. NVC in Organizations: Addressing Collective Needs "Needs are getting ignored in most organizations... it's not that we have shared needs and we debate about the strategies for getting those needs met." Bob Marshall, an organizational psychotherapist, explains how NVC principles can transform workplace dynamics. He observes that many organizations operate through "fear, obligation, guilt, and shame" – what he calls "the four horsemen of the work apocalypse." These mechanisms are used to control behavior but create toxic environments that diminish both productivity and well-being. By applying NVC in organizational settings, Bob helps collective entities recognize and address their needs. Many companies are unaware of their collective needs, and some cultures even shame people for acknowledging needs exist. Helping organizations understand their shared needs creates a foundation for healthier, more productive workplaces where people can thrive rather than merely survive. In this segment, we refer to an episode with Michelle Pauk, where we explore the lessons from Foucault's Book Discipline and Punish, and to Manfred Max-Neef, a Chilean economist. The Connection Before Correction Principle "One of the most wonderful things is connection before correction." Maria emphasizes the importance of building relationships before attempting to change behaviors or address problems. She suggests that our fast-paced world has created a situation where our emotional processing cannot keep up with the speed of our actions and decisions. We've become skilled at multitasking and meeting deadlines but haven't paid adequate attention to our emotional needs. The result is that many people are emotionally "backed up" or "constipated" – unable to process their feelings in healthy ways. Maria's work involves slowing things down to create space for authentic connection and emotional integration. This approach doesn't sacrifice efficiency – as she notes, "We get more done with less resource once we've been through the tunnel." Learning Directly from Marshall Rosenberg "Marshall Rosenberg said, 'The people that are going to take this forward will have the right balance of compassionate understanding and political savvy.' And I just went, 'That's me.'" Maria shares her personal journey with NVC, beginning with a chance encounter at her son's school that led her to attend a presentation by Marshall Rosenberg. She was immediately captivated by his approach, which answered questions she had been unable to resolve through other therapies and educational frameworks. Her pivotal experience came in 2005 when she joined Rosenberg and others for a 15-day intensive in Switzerland focused on social change. This immersive experience transformed her understanding of communication and human connection. When she asked Rosenberg who would carry his work forward, his answer about needing both "compassionate understanding and political savvy" resonated deeply with her, setting her on a path to develop her own applications of NVC principles. In this segment, we refer to the book The Surprising Purpose of Anger by Marshall Rosenberg. About Maria Arpa and Bob Marshall Maria Arpa is a facilitator, mediator, and trainer who describes her work as "walking towards conflict with love." She developed the Dialogue Road Map, a framework that builds on NVC principles to guide people out of debate-style conversations into authentic dialogue. Maria studied directly under Dr. Marshall Rosenberg and has applied NVC in various challenging contexts, including working with gang violence and facilitating dialogue between concentration camp survivors and a business that had purchased a former concentration camp site.

He has been studying and practicing NVC for over 15 years, incorporating it into his work helping organizations understand and meet their collective needs. Bob believes in creating more joyful work environments and has dedicated his career to helping people have more pleasant experiences in the workplace. Bob Marshall is the author of several books on organizational psychotherapy. You can link with Bob Marshall on LinkedIn and follow Bob Marshall's blog.

Wie bleibt die Haut im Alter schön? Was kann man tun, um Jugendlichkeit zu erhalten? Welche Eingriffe lassen die Stars machen? Und wovon muss man abraten? Ich selbst möchte „natürlich alt“ werden, aber es gibt ein paar (schmerzhafte) Behandlungen, die bei mir eine gute Wirkung hatten und ich verrate Euch genau, welche das sind. Wenn man „was machen lassen will“, dann will man natürlich zu einer der Besten! Und dieses Prädikat trägt Dr. Emi Arpa ganz sicher, ich kenne sehr viele Promis und KollegInnen, die zu ihr gehen und ihre Expertise schätzen. Heute will ich alles wissen - was empfiehlt sie, um die Haut zu pflegen, zu straffen, zu erhalten? Kein Eingriff, das ist sicher, kann die Ausstrahlung ersetzen die jemand hat, der herzlich ist und authentisch zu sich selbst steht. Dennoch können Falten, Altersflecken, Hängebäckchen Menschen sehr zu schaffen machen. Ich möchte das hier ehrlich diskutieren, deswegen habe ich eine wundervolle Stunde lang mit Emi alles detailliert durchgesprochen. Wenn Ihr Bescheid wissen wollt, ist das Eure Folge! Und eins noch: Ihr seid schön so wie Ihr seid. Ich weiß das, ich kriege ja täglich Euer liebes Feedback. Danke Euch dafür - und nun viel Spaß beim Hören! Hat die Folge Euch Erkenntnis geschenkt? Sagt es mir gerne hier direkt, auf Instagram oder schreibt an hey@mwiemarlene.de Marlenes Instagram https://www.instagram.com/marlenelufen/?hl=de Dr. Emis Instagram https://www.instagram.com/dr.emi/?hl=de Dr. Emis Pflegeserie https://dr-emiskin.de/?srsltid=AfmBOoospH5HwhYYrJC1LZi79DDMUV-CT7JuNtZf2ODa3pv2M4npFYJU Dr. Emis Homepage https://dr-emi.de

La música, atribuida a dioses y héroes según culturas antiguas, fue desarrollada matemáticamente por Pitágoras y perfeccionada en China hace 4.000 años. Los pitagóricos relacionaron la música con la armonía cósmica, mientras que tradiciones célticas y cristianas preservaron su simbolismo, vinculándola con la perfección y el universo.

“I think any man out there that's living out there that might be younger than the age of 30, I don't think they've really felt the brutality of what it takes to survive in the world, right? And the world is not a nice place, as much as we all like to tell each other.”Mental toughness isn't something you're born with—it's something you build, brick by brutal brick. It's about embracing discomfort, pushing past self-imposed limits, and refusing to be the guy who folds under pressure. The difference between success and failure? Discipline, resilience, and a willingness to go all in when others tap out. Whether it's in business, fitness, or life, the men who win are the ones who don't just endure hardship—they seek it out, because they know that steel is forged in fire.Rob Arpa and Nicky Billou dive into the importance of fortifying the mind through physical challenge, discipline, and the right social circles. They discuss the teachings of elite athletes like David Goggins, the necessity of surrounding yourself with high-achievers, and why most men settle for mediocrity when they should be striving for dominance. Their message is clear: if you're not actively strengthening your body and mind, you're getting weaker.Rob Arpa is a seasoned entrepreneur. With a background in business and a relentless drive for self-improvement, he's built a seven-figure company while continually pushing his own limits. His insights into mindset, resilience, and success come from firsthand experience, making him a voice men should listen to—if they're serious about stepping up their game.Also in this episode:“Never Finished” by David Gogginshttps://davidgoggins.com/book/“Can't Hurt Me” by David Gogginshttps://a.co/d/cQ4CDRX“Finish Line Thinking: How to Think and Win Like a Champion” by Nicky Billouhttps://a.co/d/hjA2G5S“Extreme Ownership” by Jocko Willinkhttps://a.co/d/iVVdqWh“Think and Grow Rich” by Napoleon Hillhttps://a.co/d/gR1VwTK“The Missing Secret” by Joe Vitalehttps://a.co/d/8TiuQ9JYou're invited to come to a Sovereign Circle meeting to experience it for yourself.

Understanding Power Dynamics in the Workplace "What we don't talk about openly, most people end up acting out." Power imbalances exist in every workplace and cannot be ignored. Maria emphasizes the importance of exposing and addressing these power dynamics openly, particularly the unspoken contracts that govern our interactions. These implicit agreements often drive behavior and can lead to conflict when left unaddressed. The Dialogue Roadmap: Moving Beyond Debate "We give children prizes for debating societies. We don't give children prizes for collaborative behavior." The Dialogue Roadmap offers a structured approach to authentic conversation that moves away from the traditional debate model. Maria explains how our societal conditioning toward debate and competition can hinder genuine communication and collaboration. Creating Safe Spaces for Difficult Conversations "You can't have these conversations while you're trying to do the work and meet a deadline." One key aspect of effective conflict resolution is creating dedicated spaces for challenging conversations. Maria emphasizes that these discussions cannot happen effectively while trying to meet deadlines or during regular work activities. The Power of Empathic Connection "Empathy drives change. It drives change from the inside out." Building trust starts with establishing empathic connections. Maria shares how this approach drives change from the inside out, rather than trying to force external changes. Managing Conflict as a Resource "Conflict, when approached compassionately, is our biggest free resource that opens the door to creativity." Rather than viewing conflict as a problem to be solved, Maria suggests seeing it as a valuable resource for positive change. When approached compassionately, conflict can open doors to creativity and innovation. Language and Trust-Building "Words can be windows or walls... language is the software in our brains that we use to tell us what to do." The words we choose can either build bridges or create barriers. Maria introduces the concept of "enforcement mentality" and its impact on workplace relationships. In this segment, we refer to the episode with Michelle Pauk on the importance of language in our work. Practical Tools for Leaders Maria shares several practical approaches for leaders to build trust and manage conflict: Slow down conversations using techniques like the metronome Use phrases like "If I understand you, what you really want me to hear is..." Create opportunities to restart conversations with "This isn't the conversation I meant to have. Can I start again, please?" Maintaining Accountability Without Enforcement "You can say 'What conversation should I be having with you?' - how the person answers tells you everything you need to know." Creating accountability without falling into an enforcement mentality requires clear communication about expectations and consequences. Maria emphasizes the importance of making contracts explicit and inviting people to take ownership of their responsibilities. About Maria Arpa Maria Arpa is an expert mediator, counselor, and advocate for meaningful workplace change, and the creator of the Dialogue Roadmap - a communications tool that moves away from accusative/blaming ways of communicating to a much more compassionate and collaborative way of working. In her book "Mindfulness at Work", Maria offers powerful strategies to transform stressful, conflict-ridden workplaces into environments of harmony and collaboration.

This Day in Legal History: Lincoln Signs Legal Tender ActOn February 25, 1862, President Abraham Lincoln signed the Legal Tender Act into law, allowing the U.S. government to issue paper money not backed by gold or silver. These new notes, called "greenbacks" due to their color, became the first widely circulated fiat currency in American history. The Civil War had placed enormous financial strain on the Union, and the government needed a way to fund its war effort without relying solely on borrowing or taxation. By making greenbacks legal tender for all debts except customs duties, the law ensured their widespread use. However, the move was controversial, as some feared it would cause inflation and undermine public confidence in the currency. Despite this, the greenbacks helped stabilize the wartime economy and ensured that soldiers and suppliers were paid. After the war, legal battles arose over whether the government could require creditors to accept paper money instead of gold or silver. The Supreme Court initially ruled against the policy in Hepburn v. Griswold (1870) but reversed its decision in The Legal Tender Cases (1871), upholding the government's power to issue fiat currency. The Legal Tender Act set a precedent for the federal government's control over the monetary system, paving the way for modern U.S. currency.A federal judge has temporarily blocked Elon Musk's Department of Government Efficiency (DGE) from accessing sensitive data held by the U.S. Education Department and the Office of Personnel Management. The ruling, issued by Judge Deborah Boardman in Maryland, came in response to a lawsuit from labor unions arguing that granting DGE access to personal records violated the Privacy Act of 1974. The data in question includes Social Security numbers, addresses, income details, and citizenship status of federal employees and student aid recipients. The Trump administration contended that restricting DGE's access would hinder its government downsizing efforts, but the judge determined that the agency had no legitimate need for such information. The White House has not commented on the decision. Since Trump's return to office, DGE, led by Musk, has pursued aggressive cost-cutting measures, including mass layoffs. The ruling follows another court decision in New York that blocked DGE from accessing Treasury Department systems, amid multiple lawsuits challenging its authority.US judge blocks Musk's DOGE team from accessing Education Department, OPM data | ReutersPresident Donald Trump is set to appoint Kash Patel, the newly confirmed FBI director, as the acting head of the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF), according to a source. Patel, a staunch Trump ally, will oversee both agencies simultaneously, a move that has sparked concerns among Democrats and moderate Republicans who previously opposed his FBI nomination due to his history of targeting Trump's critics. Patel has strong backing from pro-gun groups and is expected to shift the ATF's focus away from firearm regulation. The decision aligns with Trump's campaign rhetoric criticizing the ATF for being overly aggressive toward gun owners. Attorney General Pam Bondi recently fired the agency's top legal counsel, Pamela Hicks, claiming ATF officials had unfairly targeted gun owners. Bondi has also redirected the ATF's priorities toward immigration enforcement. Patel's dual appointment is part of a broader Trump administration strategy, with multiple officials holding multiple roles, including Marco Rubio at the State Department and Russ Vought at the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau.Trump to name FBI chief Patel as acting ATF director, source says | ReutersFrom a great piece written by Karl Bode for Techdirt, the American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA) is funding affordable, community-owned broadband networks in underserved areas, challenging monopoly control by major telecom companies. In New York, Oswego County received a $26 million grant to build an open-access fiber network, allowing multiple internet providers to compete over shared infrastructure. The network's primary provider, Empire Access, is offering 500 Mbps service for $50 a month and 1 Gbps for $65, significantly undercutting industry giants like Charter and Verizon.Similarly, Minnesota's Carver County has used ARPA funds to build dark fiber infrastructure, leasing it to MetroNet in a public-private partnership. MetroNet now provides residents with gigabit fiber for $50 and 5 Gbps for $110, far cheaper than traditional providers. This strategy contrasts with other states that continue to funnel broadband subsidies to large telecoms with a history of neglecting rural and low-income areas.Some states—Vermont, Maine, California, and New York—are using federal funds to expand community-owned broadband, treating internet access as an essential utility. However, with an additional $42.5 billion in broadband grants from the 2021 infrastructure bill set to be distributed, the Trump administration and the Department of Government Efficiency (DGE) will likely attempt to redirect these funds toward corporate-backed projects instead of community-driven initiatives.ARPA Is Quietly Funding Cheap ($50-$65 A Month) Community-Owned Gigabit Fiber Access To Long Neglected Neighborhoods | Techdirt This is a public episode.

Concerns over GDOT’s timeline, which could delay construction by over five years, led the city to prioritize its own 18-month schedule. While the project’s cost is estimated at $6 million now, inflation could push it to $10 million under GDOT’s timeline. The city will use $4 million from SPLOST funds and reallocate additional funds as needed, ensuring faster progress and local control over the project. STORY 2: Marietta Cracks Down on Homeless Encampments The Marietta City Council approved a new ordinance targeting homeless encampments, allowing police to charge individuals camping, sleeping, or storing property on private land without permission. The law, passed 6-1 with Councilmember Joseph Goldstein opposed, aims to address frequent complaints about trespassing. Police Chief David Beam emphasized that officers would issue warnings and verify property owner consent before citing violators. Goldstein raised concerns about potential Fourth Amendment violations under future leadership. Additionally, the council expanded a public camping ban to include all public property and recently amended a disorderly conduct ordinance to address disruptive behavior. STORY 3: CobbWorks Opens Mableton Job Assistance Center CobbWorks has transformed a former Cobb fire station on Mableton Parkway into a 10,000-square-foot Work Source Center, offering workforce development services to over 10,000 jobseekers annually. The $5 million renovation provides career coaching, job placement, GED testing, and entrepreneurial support, with added amenities like shared workspaces and a computer lab.

Funded by the 2022 SPLOST, the project includes a 120-foot radius roundabout, a slip lane for continuous traffic, pedestrian crosswalks with flashing beacons, and a central greenspace. While some residents raised concerns about pedestrian safety and opposed the project, Public Works Director Mark Rice emphasized extensive public input and support during planning. The council also approved $125,000 in safety upgrades for nearby intersections, adding crosswalks, speed tables, and stop signs to enhance pedestrian safety. STORY 5: Cobb Schools Super Purchases K-9s to Detect Weapons The Cobb County School District has purchased two Vapor Wake K-9s for $80,000 to enhance school safety by detecting explosives and firearms. These specially trained dogs, Major and Aubie, will patrol campuses with certified handlers, focusing on concealed weapons through scent detection. Superintendent Chris Ragsdale highlighted their efficiency compared to traditional weapons detectors, which can be disruptive and less accurate. While some board members raised concerns about student allergies or fears, handlers assured they are trained to address such issues. The district plans to expand the program, pending additional state funding for safety initiatives.

In this episode of the Crazy Wisdom Podcast, Stewart Alsop talks with guest Saila about Argentina's fascinating socio-economic dynamics, its chaotic history, and potential future under the current government. Topics range from Argentina's unique financial practices—like the "blue dollar" system and the impact of inflation on everyday life—to global geopolitical shifts, the role of bureaucracy, and the rise of multipolarity. They also explore the opportunities and challenges for crypto and fintech in Argentina, drawing connections to innovation spurred by economic adversity.

This system reflects a deeply ingrained culture of financial adaptation and innovation, where residents navigate inflation and economic instability with remarkable dexterity. The resilience and pragmatism of Argentines in the face of such challenges have made their everyday understanding of economics highly nuanced and practical.The Global Perception of Argentina Under Javier Milei: Under the leadership of Javier Milei, Argentina is at a critical juncture, attempting to shift from decades of economic chaos to potential stabilization. Despite initial skepticism, Milei's administration has managed to maintain a credible fiscal policy, such as adhering to a zero primary deficit. This success challenges both local and global expectations, showcasing how Argentina's political narrative can surprise even seasoned economists.The Global Shift from Unipolarity to Multipolarity: The conversation reflects on the decline of the unipolar world order dominated by the United States and the rise of a more fragmented multipolar reality. With China as a prominent actor but inexperienced in global leadership, the dynamics of international power are evolving. The U.S. faces a choice between deliberate withdrawal from global dominance or grappling with a loss of influence—a process that holds implications for countries like Argentina operating on the periphery.The Power of Illegibility in Systems and Markets: Saila introduces the concept of "illegibility," where the real value in systems often lies in aspects that are not immediately visible or measurable. This is particularly true in environments like Argentina, where formal systems often fail, and informal networks and practices flourish. The same holds in global markets and innovation hubs, where the most significant opportunities often emerge from navigating the unspoken or unseen rules.The Role of Crypto in Argentina's Financial Landscape: Argentina has become a critical testbed for cryptocurrency applications due to its economic instability and limited access to traditional credit markets. Stablecoins, in particular, have found real-world use cases as tools for saving and transacting in a volatile economy. This positions Argentina as an unlikely but important center for crypto innovation, driven by necessity rather than speculation.Innovation Through Constraint: Economic adversity in Argentina has sparked remarkable creativity and ingenuity among its population. From unique financial practices like partial cash housing transactions to unconventional uses of stablecoins, the constraints of the system have fostered innovation. This serves as a case study in how challenging environments can generate solutions with broader applicability, even in more stable economies.Bureaucracy as an Autonomous Agent: The conversation draws parallels between bureaucratic systems in Argentina and those in developed nations like the U.S., highlighting how they often evolve into semi-autonomous entities prioritizing their survival. Argentina's overgrown bureaucracy has contributed to inefficiency and economic decline, yet similar patterns of self-preservation and stagnation are visible in Western governments and institutions as well.
