Friends of the Rosary,Today, August 8, is the Memorial of St. Dominic of Guzman, who received the devotion of the Holy Rosary from the Blessed Virgin Mary. To St. Dominic is attributed the origin and spread of the holy rosary.As many Popes have historically stated, St. Dominic received the Rosary as a gift from the Blessed Virgin Mary during a vision in a forest near Toulouse, France, in 1206, on the feast of Saint Mary Magdalene, to help combat the Albigensian heresy, which denied the goodness of the material world and the divinity of Christ.The saint and his Dominican Order, which he founded in 1215, actively promoted the Rosary, encouraging its use for both personal prayer and communal practice. He used it as a tool for evangelization and spiritual growth.Since the 15th and 16th centuries, many Dominicans have spread this devotion and remain to this day the chief promoters of the devotion around the world.For example, it was a Dominican pope, St. Pius V, who promoted the Rosary and instituted the Feast of Our Lady of Victory in 1571 (later renamed the Feast of Our Lady of the Rosary in 1573 by Pope Gregory XIII).The Rosary remains a staple of Roman Catholic piety and is a favorite of many Catholics around the world.Alongside the Franciscans, the Dominicans became the most powerful Order in medieval times, giving the Church illustrious preachers, St. Vincent Ferrer, and contemplatives, Sts. Thomas of Aquinas and Pius V, and contributing immeasurably to maintaining the purity of the faith.Through the example of apostolic poverty and the preaching of the word of God, the Dominican Order was to lead men to Christ.Today, it's also important to remember that St. Dominic's mother, Blessed Jane (Joan or Joanna) of Aza, was beatified by Pope Leo XII in 1828, recognized for her example of motherly holiness, her charity to the poor, and miracles.As preserved in the Breviary: "During pregnancy, Dominic's mother dreamed she was carrying in her womb a little dog that held a burning torch between its teeth; and when she had given birth, it set the whole world on fire. By this dream, it was made manifest beforehand how Dominic would inflame the nations to the practice of Christian virtue through the brightness of his holy example and the fiery ardor of his preaching." The second son of Blessed Jane (Joan or Joanna) of Aza, Mannes, would follow his younger brother in the Order of Preachers, and later beatified.Ave Maria!Jesus, I Trust In You!Come, Holy Spirit, come!To Jesus through Mary!Here I am, Lord; I come to do your will.Please give us the grace to respond with joy!+ Mikel Amigot w/ María Blanca | RosaryNetwork.com, New YorkEnhance your faith with the new Holy Rosary University app:Apple iOS | New!

“They will never see their gold again, just as they do not see their own ears.”Josef StalinGold's strength is that its value exists in and of itself. It's nobody else's liability. Unlike money in the bank or a bond, it carries no promise from a third party, and its value is not dependent on the creditworthiness of any issuer or guarantor. Hand it to someone else and its value is transferred. It is a “bearer” asset, effectively owned by whoever has possession of it. For this reason gold has been the target of many a heist. Quickly resmelt it, and its provenance is very hard to prove.So there is one obvious problem with gold: that is keeping it safe. It's all very well having a pot of gold, but if somebody comes along and takes it from you, as Alexander did from the Persians, or the Conquistadors from the Incas, then you're left with nothing at all.When the Spanish Civil War broke out in 1936, the Soviet Union, under Joseph Stalin, supported the Spanish Republican government. The Nazis supported their opponents, the revolutionary fascist forces led by General Franco. At the time Spanish gold reserves, some 635 tonnes, were the fourth largest in the world.Much of that treasure had been accumulated during WWI, when Spain had stayed neutral. Selling stuff to the British seems to have been the really big earner: 70% of Spanish gold holdings were British sovereigns.With Franco just 20 miles from the capital, the Republicans were on the verge of defeat. Never mind the fascists, there were also rumours that Catalan separatists had hatched plans to take the gold from Madrid to Barcelona. All that gold was at risk.Finance minister, Juan Negrín, and Prime Minister, Francisco Largo Caballero, leant on President Azaña to sign a secret decree to move the gold - some 10,000 cases - to a place “which in his [Negrín's] opinion offers the best security”. Azaña signed and the gold was moved, starting the next day, to Cartajena on the south coast, as far from Franco's armies as possible. The Spanish soldiers who transported the cases thought they were lifting munitions. A fifth of it was then shipped to Marseille where it was traded for French francs, which the Republicans used to fund their side of the war. The rest, 510 tonnes, would be sent to Joseph Stalin in Moscow for safekeeping.Even if Bolshevik sympathisers, what were Negrín and Caballero thinking? The Russians had already demonstrated that they had no qualms about seizing other people's gold. In 1916, the Romanian government sent its treasury of 91 tonnes of gold to Tsarist Russia for safekeeping, worried that it was vulnerable to the Axis powers when Romania had just joined WWI on the side of the Entente. Shortly afterwards, during the Great October Revolution, communists, led by Lenin, seized power, sequestered the gold and refused to give it back. Though small amounts were returned in 1935, 1956, and 2008, “as a gesture of goodwill”, the large majority was retained. As you can imagine, it has been something of a sore spot in diplomatic relations between the two nations ever since.It seems Negrín and Caballero did not know the story. In any case, Caballero actually wrote to Stalin asking if he would “agree to the deposit of approximately 500 tonnes of gold.” Two days later, he got a reply from the Soviet leader, not previously known for his prompt responses. No surprise: Stalin would be “glad” to take the gold.Buying gold or silver to protect yourself in these ‘interesting' times? The bullion dealer I use and recommend is the Pure Gold Company. Pricing is competitive, quality of service is high. They deliver to the UK, the US, Canada and Europe or you can store your gold with them. More here.Alexander Orlov was the Russian agent in charge of transporting the booty. Negrín gave him fake documents to show he was an US official from the Bank of America, in case he should be stopped. Negrín, who, remember, was finance minister, had thought Bank of America was the US central bank. That would be the Federal Reserve. Russian agent Orlov didn't realise either. It's extraordinary.Four Russian ships came to Cartagena to collect the bounty, and the gold was loaded on. There was a discrepancy of 100 cases between Orlov and Spanish treasurer Mendez Aspe's number: Aspe said 7,800 cases, Orlov 7,900. Orlov said nothing. He reported the discrepancy to his superiors, who told him, “Do not worry about figures. Everything will be counted anew in Moscow. Do not mention your figure to anybody.” Aspe didn't even get a receipt off Orlov (who had been instructed not to give him one). “Don't worry, my friend,” said Orlov, “it will be issued by the State Bank of the Soviet Union, when everything is checked and weighed.” We will never know whether Orlov miscounted or whether those 100 boxes went missing.It took them three nights to load the four ships. The Russians then left Cartagena for Odessa in the Black Sea, escorted by the Spanish as far as Italy. From Odessa it was loaded onto a freight train bound for Moscow. "If all the boxes of gold that we piled up on the wharfs of Odessa were to be placed here side by side,” said one of the officials. “They would completely cover up the Red Square".When the gold arrived in Moscow, Stalin celebrated with a banquet at the Kremlin. “They will never see their gold again”, he laughed. “Just as they do not see their own ears.”The Spanish eventually got their receipt: for 5,619 standard cases and 126 damaged. Some distance below both Aspe and Orlov's figure. But three months later the Russians completed the audit, calculating that the shipments totalled 510 tonnes of gold coins and ingots, 90% pure, thus around 460 tonnes of pure gold. There were gold coins from across Europe and Latin America, especially those British sovereigns and Portuguese escudos, but also Spanish pesetas, French, Swiss and Belgian francs, German marks,, Russian rubles, Austrian schillings, Dutch guilders, and Mexican, Argentine and Chilean pesos. The numismatic value of the coins was higher than their gold content.The following year Spain met with a currency crisis. With exceptional chutzpah, even by the standards of politicians, Republicans blamed the inflation on the free market. Nothing to do with the absence of all that gold!Later, the Franco regime was happy to let the story of the "Moscow gold" stolen by Russia spread, as part of its anti-communist propaganda. And yet it appears sell orders from Negrín were actually carried out in 1937 and 1938, for which Spain received pounds, dollars and francs. Spain also received planes, tanks, machine guns, artillery, rifles, cartridges, food and fuel from Russia. The Soviets demanded some compensation for what they had sent during the war, but it's believed that aside from various expenses, the Soviets did not abuse their position and defraud the Spanish. Ultimately then, most of the gold went, one way or another, on the cost of the civil war. Such is the way with war. It is expensive.And just a couple or three years later, as Nazi forces advanced through Europe, the farce of transporting gold would be repeated many times over, and across the continent.Stories like this fill the pages of The Secret History of Gold (although this one didn't actually make the cut).The Secret History of Gold is available to pre-order at Amazon, Waterstones and all good bookshops. I hear the audiobook, read by me, is excellent. The book comes out on August 28. This is a public episode.

Edad de Plata. Así es como se ha denominado a las primeras décadas del siglo XX; un momento de enormes inquietudes intelectuales, el inicio de una época que interrumpió la guerra, y en la que han confluido los más importantes nombres de nuestra Cultura en mayúsculas. A este periodo solo podría hacerle sombra el Siglo de Oro, el siglo de Cervantes; y a su sombra precisamente surge el segundo periodo español de máximo esplendor cultural, político y artístico: la Generación del 98 y la del 14: Machado, Valle-Inclán, Juan Ramón, Ortega y Gasset, Ramón y Cajal, Gregorio Marañón, Benavente, Joaquín Costa, Giner de los Ríos, Azaña… son una lista infinita de nombres a la que se solapará la larga lista de autores de vanguardia y miembros de la Generación del 27 (Lorca, Cernuda, Aleixandre…), y la de otros artistas como Picasso, Dalí, Buñuel, Maruja Mallo... La efervescencia cultural del primer tercio del siglo XX no se podrá explicar sin la Residencia de Estudiantes y el influjo de la Institución Libre de Enseñanza, de las que hoy hablaremos en este audio, y sobre todo, cómo la realidad social de un país en crisis fue precisamente el acicate para poner a España en el mapa de Europa, después de un atraso cultural de siglos.

Platiqué con Azalea Garza, mamá y escritora del cuento para niños "Mi mamá es un monstruo". Aza es muy valiente al vulnerabilizarse y platicarnos sobre su camino siendo mamá. Nos cuenta sobre cómo este siempre fue su sueño más grande, y al cumplirlo se topó con retos muy difíciles y complicados de los que nadie te habla. Aza nos habla sobre la realidad de mamá primeriza, tener depresión posparto, y de querer como mamá controlar todo en casa e incluso a tu esposo. Abre su corazón y nos platica cómo con el paso del tiempo fue notando que iba replicando patrones v1ol3ntos con sus hijas, desde lo verbal, psicológico, hasta lo físico, y lo difícil que era para ella controlarse en estos momentos de ira y coraje. Azalea nos detalla varias de estas situaciones, explicándonos la culpa que venía acompañada de estas acciones. Finalmente hablamos de cómo Aza decidió trabajar y sanar estos patrones hasta el día de hoy, descubriendo de dónde venían, buscando ayuda profesional y cuenta cómo ha reconstruido esta montaña rusa que es la maternidad, haciendo un gran trabajo interno hasta escribir su libro que habla de esto. Es una mujer muy valiente y estoy segura de que si eres mamá o no, te llegará esta historia al corazón.Sigue el trabajo de Azalea:@azzaleagzzaY sigue mi trabajo en mis redes: @jessicafdzg Hosted on Acast.

Du jazz flamboyant d'Adrien Soleiman à la folk indie pop de Jawhar. (Rediffusion) Nos premiers invités sont les 8 musiciens d'Adrien Soleiman et son BelleJazzClub Adrien Soleiman, saxophoniste talentueux et collaborateur recherché (Juliette Armanet, Malik Djoudi, Philippe Katerine), dévoile son nouveau projet BelleJazzClub. Passionné par le partage et l'improvisation collective, il voit son groupe éponyme comme une véritable confrérie de musiciens incarnant l'âme du jazz et de la pop. Après avoir marqué les esprits avec son premier album Brille en 2016, Soleiman décide de réunir des musiciens de renom pour un enregistrement intensif au studio La Frette. Entouré des meilleurs talents de la scène parisienne, comme son frère Maxime Daoud, Tony Tixier, ou encore Marc-Antoine Perrio, il compose un album où chaque morceau évolue spontanément. Des voix familières du jazz et de la pop, comme Arthur Teboul (Feu! Chatterton), Philippe Katerine, Halo Maud ou encore Émile Parisien viennent ensuite enrichir le projet, tandis que Voyou, Emma Broughton et Laura Etchegoyhen apportent leurs touches aux cuivres et aux chœurs. Le premier volume de BelleJazzClub est un voyage musical unique, mêlant jazz et pop avec une grande liberté instrumentale et une fusion captivante de rythmes chaloupés et d'ambiances contemplatives Titres interprétés au grand studio - Panorama Live RFI - Grande Terre Feat. Arthur Teboul, extrait de l'album - Petit Matin Live RFI. Line Up : Adrien Soleiman, saxophone, Louis Delorme, batterie, Adrian Edeline, guitare, Gianni Casarotto, guitare, Elise Blanchard, basse, Maxime Daoud, claviers, Tony Tixier, claviers et Arnaud Biscay, batterie. Son : Mathias Taylor, Jérémie Besset, Benoît Le Tirant. Album BelleJazzClub Vol.1 (Naïve/Believe 2025). - YouTube Adrien Soleiman, albums et singles - YouTube BelleJazzClub - Instagram - Facebook. Concert 18 mars 2025 à La Maroquinerie, Paris Puis nous recevons Jawhar pour la sortie de Khyoot Khyoot خيوط est en arabe le pluriel de « kheet », qui veut dire fil, corde, filament. Dans le contexte plus poétique des chansons de l'album, le mot « khyoot » revient souvent pour désigner les liens qui se cachent derrière le visible, ces filaments qui traversent l'espace et nous relient à une source puissante et magique. Ce sont ces filons auxquels on tient au fil des jours, vers la transcendance de la réalité, vers la création. Ils nous indiquent le chemin vers une foi en ce qui nous dépasse, en l'invisible qui est néanmoins enfoui en nous… Avec Khyoot, l'auteur-compositeur d'origine tunisienne revient à ses premiers amours ; un album très folk, une collection de chansons lumineuses écrites pour deux voix. À la voix tantôt éthérée tantôt terrienne de Jawhar vient se mêler, délicate et gracieuse, celle d'Azza Mezghani. Il s'entoure également de ses deux fidèles acolytes, le pianiste Eric Bribosia et le multi-instrumentiste Yannick Dupont. Titres interprétés au grand studio - Habbeet Live RFI - Leghreeb, extrait de l'album - Howwa Live RFI Line Up : Jawhar, guitare, voix, Aza, voix, claviers.

(Rediffusion) Nos premiers invités sont les 8 musiciens d'Adrien Soleiman et son BelleJazzClub Adrien Soleiman, saxophoniste talentueux et collaborateur recherché (Juliette Armanet, Malik Djoudi, Philippe Katerine), dévoile son nouveau projet BelleJazzClub. Passionné par le partage et l'improvisation collective, il voit son groupe éponyme comme une véritable confrérie de musiciens incarnant l'âme du jazz et de la pop. Après avoir marqué les esprits avec son premier album Brille en 2016, Soleiman décide de réunir des musiciens de renom pour un enregistrement intensif au studio La Frette. Entouré des meilleurs talents de la scène parisienne, comme son frère Maxime Daoud, Tony Tixier, ou encore Marc-Antoine Perrio, il compose un album où chaque morceau évolue spontanément. Des voix familières du jazz et de la pop, comme Arthur Teboul (Feu! Chatterton), Philippe Katerine, Halo Maud ou encore Émile Parisien viennent ensuite enrichir le projet, tandis que Voyou, Emma Broughton et Laura Etchegoyhen apportent leurs touches aux cuivres et aux chœurs. Le premier volume de BelleJazzClub est un voyage musical unique, mêlant jazz et pop avec une grande liberté instrumentale et une fusion captivante de rythmes chaloupés et d'ambiances contemplatives Titres interprétés au grand studio - Panorama Live RFI - Grande Terre Feat. Arthur Teboul, extrait de l'album - Petit Matin Live RFI. Line Up : Adrien Soleiman, saxophone, Louis Delorme, batterie, Adrian Edeline, guitare, Gianni Casarotto, guitare, Elise Blanchard, basse, Maxime Daoud, claviers, Tony Tixier, claviers et Arnaud Biscay, batterie.

Concert 18 mars 2025 à La Maroquinerie, Paris Puis nous recevons Jawhar pour la sortie de Khyoot Khyoot خيوط est en arabe le pluriel de « kheet », qui veut dire fil, corde, filament. Dans le contexte plus poétique des chansons de l'album, le mot « khyoot » revient souvent pour désigner les liens qui se cachent derrière le visible, ces filaments qui traversent l'espace et nous relient à une source puissante et magique. Ce sont ces filons auxquels on tient au fil des jours, vers la transcendance de la réalité, vers la création. Ils nous indiquent le chemin vers une foi en ce qui nous dépasse, en l'invisible qui est néanmoins enfoui en nous… Avec Khyoot, l'auteur-compositeur d'origine tunisienne revient à ses premiers amours ; un album très folk, une collection de chansons lumineuses écrites pour deux voix. À la voix tantôt éthérée tantôt terrienne de Jawhar vient se mêler, délicate et gracieuse, celle d'Azza Mezghani. Il s'entoure également de ses deux fidèles acolytes, le pianiste Eric Bribosia et le multi-instrumentiste Yannick Dupont. Titres interprétés au grand studio - Habbeet Live RFI - Leghreeb, extrait de l'album - Howwa Live RFI Line Up : Jawhar, guitare, voix, Aza, voix, claviers.

Her career began with an internship at the zoo nearly three decades ago, leading her through various roles in education, operations, and HR before stepping into her current leadership position. Blank Park Zoo is a 30-acre, AZA-accredited nonprofit zoo that engages approximately 500,000 guests annually and is driven by a mission centered on conservation, education, research, and recreation. In this interview, Anne talks about balancing recreation with education, animal welfare standards, and who she believes is the least important person at the zoo. Balancing Recreation with Education “We cannot do our mission without the attractions component.” Anne explains that the zoo's mission—to foster conservation, education, and research—is intrinsically linked to its ability to attract and engage visitors. She emphasizes the importance of balancing the business and ecological aspects of the organization, drawing on her background in both ecology and business administration. By making the guest experience enjoyable and memorable, the zoo creates a pathway for people to connect with its mission. From offering unique experiences like feeding giraffes to developing inclusive programming and exhibits, Blank Park Zoo aims to captivate diverse audiences and deepen their appreciation for animals and conservation. This dual focus means the zoo must cater to both the physical and intellectual needs of guests. Whether it's interactive exhibits, educational signage, keeper chats, or social media storytelling, every touchpoint is designed to spark curiosity and inspire conservation action. Anne notes that engaging experiences are critical not only for education but also for generating the revenue necessary to support animal care and the zoo's long-term sustainability. Animal Welfare Standards “The emphasis on animal welfare has really evolved… not only are we meeting the physical needs of the animal, but really focusing on that social and mental need.” Anne highlights the zoo's commitment to the comprehensive well-being of its 3,000 animals. Over the past two decades, animal care has shifted from simply meeting physical needs to also prioritizing mental and emotional welfare. For example, the zoo carefully considers whether animals are social or solitary, and designs habitats and routines to reflect natural behaviors. Staff members conduct daily observations and periodic welfare assessments that include input from zookeepers, veterinarians, educators, and guest services. She also addresses a common challenge: public misinterpretations of animal behavior. For instance, lions naturally sleep up to 20 hours a day, a fact that may be misunderstood by guests as boredom or poor welfare. To combat these assumptions, the zoo uses multiple educational tools—from signage to social media to personal interaction—to convey accurate information and promote transparency. Anne sees social media as a particularly powerful tool that serves both marketing and education purposes, helping demystify zoo operations and engage guests before, during, and after their visit. The Least Important Person “I firmly believe I am the least important person here.” Anne's leadership philosophy is rooted in humility and a deep respect for her team. Despite her title, she views her role as one of support and barrier removal, rather than command. She emphasizes that it's the educators, zookeepers, and guest service staff—those on the front lines—who are the most essential to delivering the zoo's mission. Her goal is to empower staff by encouraging innovation, supporting new ideas, and fostering a collaborative environment. This mindset was especially impactful during the challenges of 2020, when the zoo faced closures and operational shifts due to the pandemic. Anne leaned into flexibility and teamwork, reallocating staff to care for animals and maintain operations. Her approach ensured that morale stayed high and the zoo continued to serve the community—even turning parking lots into drive-through experiences and launching virtual programming. Anne's ability to lead with empathy and curiosity has made a lasting impact on Blank Park Zoo's culture and resilience.

When Chinese AI company DeepSeek announced they had built a model that could compete with OpenAI at a fraction of the cost, it sent shockwaves through the industry and roiled global markets. But amid all the noise around DeepSeek, there was a clear signal: machine reasoning is here and it's transforming AI.In this episode, Aza sits down with CHT co-founder Randy Fernando to explore what happens when AI moves beyond pattern matching to actual reasoning. They unpack how these new models can not only learn from human knowledge but discover entirely new strategies we've never seen before – bringing unprecedented problem-solving potential but also unpredictable risks.These capabilities are a step toward a critical threshold - when AI can accelerate its own development. With major labs racing to build self-improving systems, the crucial question isn't how fast we can go, but where we're trying to get to. How do we ensure this transformative technology serves human flourishing rather than undermining it?Your Undivided Attention is produced by the Center for Humane Technology. Follow us on Twitter: @HumaneTech_Clarification: In making the point that reasoning models excel at tasks for which there is a right or wrong answer, Randy referred to Chess, Go, and Starcraft as examples of games where a reasoning model would do well. However, this is only true on the basis of individual decisions within those games. None of these games have been “solved” in the the game theory sense.Correction: Aza mispronounced the name of the Go champion Lee Sedol, who was bested by Move 37.RECOMMENDED MEDIAFurther reading on DeepSeek's R1 and the market reaction Further reading on the debate about the actual cost of DeepSeek's R1 model The study that found training AIs to code also made them better writers More information on the AI coding company Cursor Further reading on Eric Schmidt's threshold to “pull the plug” on AI Further reading on Move 37RECOMMENDED YUA EPISODESThe Self-Preserving Machine: Why AI Learns to Deceive This Moment in AI: How We Got Here and Where We're Going Former OpenAI Engineer William Saunders on Silence, Safety, and the Right to Warn The AI ‘Race': China vs. the US with Jeffrey Ding and Karen Hao
