Nesta segunda parte da conversa, a pianista Joana Gama conta como passou a viver a música e o palco como um prolongamento da sua vida, e reflete como se passou a relacionar com a falha e como treina a mente para as suas atuações e performances.

Haruto exclaimed in surprise.Ja: リスは、ピョンピョンと軽快に飛び回り、ナッツや紅葉の梨を散らしました。En: The squirrel hopped around energetically, scattering nuts and the autumn leaves of pears.Ja: 優樹は笑いをこらえつつ、「あいつ、本当に楽しそうだな。」と言いました。En: Yuki stifled a laugh and said, "That little guy looks like he's having so much fun."Ja: 混乱の中で、春斗は深呼吸をして考えました。「どうしよう…。それでも諦めたくない。」と心の中でつぶやきます。En: In the midst of chaos, Haruto took a deep breath and thought, "What should I do...

Season Seven, Episode 2 of The Food Professor podcast lands its first guest interview, and it's a Canadian food business story three decades in the making. Michael LeBlanc and Dr. Sylvain Charlebois are joined by Dave Jones, President and CEO of Bento Sushi, the company that turned a small 1996 takeout counter in downtown Toronto into the largest sushi business in Canada. Dave joined Bento in 2009 in an entry-level management role, moved through operations, procurement and supply chain, and took over as CEO in 2022. He unpacks a business most Canadians walk past every day without realizing its scale: more than 700 locations inside grocery stores, universities, hospitals and other retail environments, ten commissaries, roughly 2,500 distribution points, about 800 employees and close to 30 million packs a year. He explains the difference between made-in-store kiosks and the delivered commissary model, why automation now shapes production of items like onigiri, how global sourcing and procurement hold up under pressure, and what price sensitivity looks like in a category built on fresh, daily-made food. Bento's 30th anniversary in 2026 gives the conversation a natural lens on how retail foodservice, grocery prepared food and Canadian consumer expectations have all changed. Before the interview, Michael and Sylvain work through a busy news week. Ottawa applied counter-tariffs to seafood and fish and reversed course within 48 hours, a reminder of how tangled Canada-US supply chains really are. Honey and molasses stayed on the list, with Manitoba, Canada's largest honey exporter, taking the hit. Sylvain pushes back on Chapman's plan to replace 70 percent of its American ingredients, questioning the timing and the nationalistic framing. On beef, the hosts dig into the Trump administration's push on prices, the 300,000 tonne Brazilian import move, the JBS White House visit, the Department of Justice probe into beef pricing, and why cattle futures fell and ranchers are unhappy. Sylvain's view: ranchers are price takers in a North American market, retail prices won't move much, and Canadians could end up paying more. Also on the docket: dairy dominating CUSMA consultation submissions, Daniel Gobé's election in Quebec and his supply management odds, and Q2 trade numbers showing exports up 3 billion dollars net year over year with 2.6 billion of that heading to the United States, despite all the diversification talk. In the retail block, Michael breaks down the Canadian Tire and Tim Hortons loyalty partnership and why coalition programs need high-frequency categories, plus Loblaw's expanded capital spending on T&T, discount and specialty formats, its real estate DNA and its exit from banking. The episode closes on retail crime, and the arson at a Pattison Foods Nesters store in Vancouver. The full video interview is live on The Food Professor YouTube channel.

Há uma cena que qualquer aluno do secundário reconhece de imediato, mesmo sem saber nomeá-la: alguém recebe dinheiro sem esforço e, algum tempo depois, descobre que esse dinheiro mudou mais do que aquilo que comprou. É essa cena, ampliada à escala de um país e de cinco séculos, que o economista Pedro Santa Clara — professor catedrático de Finanças na Nova School of Business and Economics e fundador da escola gratuita de programação 42Lisboa, já conhecido dos leitores deste blogue pela conversa que gerou o artigo «Para que serve um Ministério da Educação?» — decidiu pôr em palco numa peça curta, publicada esta semana e partilhada diretamente com este blogue. Chama-se «Auto da Bazuca», subtitulada «peça em um ato, para dois fantasmas e um primeiro-ministro», e o ponto de partida é simples: às três da manhã, no Gabinete do Primeiro-Ministro em São Bento, um chefe de governo assina, página a página, o Pedido de Pagamento n.º 7 do PRR. Um cheiro a pimenta invade a sala. Depois, um cheiro a cal, pólvora e terramoto. Entram D. Manuel I e o Marquês de Pombal.

Corentin Dalon et Florian Mahieu sont architectes. Ils ont fondé, le bureau d'architecture BENTO, basé à Bruxelles, avec Charles Palliez en 2019.

No relatório da primeira Presidência Aberta que fez, António José Seguro apontou o dedo ao governo pela descoordenação na resposta à tragédia na zona de Leiria, depois da passagem da tempestade Kristin. Há outras matérias, como a legislação laboral, a saúde ou a aprovação do orçamento do Estado que podem fazer subir a tensão entre o Palácio de São Bento e o Palácio de Belém. O que vale isto tudo? À procura de uma resposta, conversamos com o director-adjunto do Expresso, David Dinis.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Trump nem sequer leu até ao fim a resposta do Irão. A trégua na guerra está em “respiração assistida” e o mundo de respiração suspensa, à espera de um milagre que faça com que o petróleo volte a fluir pelo estreito de Ormuz, evitando um cenário de racionamento, um dia destes. Enquanto isso, Passos Coelho voltou a zurzir Montenegro, recusando as “histórias da carochinha” do João Ratão de São Bento. E o PCP voltou a ser zurzido por ter publicado, a propósito da morte de Carlos Brito, uma mensagem de ‘apesar’, uma espécie de voto de pesar contrariado. Tudo isto na semana em que o primeiro-ministro foi a Fátima acender uma velinha e em que o governo ainda espera um milagre para poder aprovar o pacote laboral.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Elle relève de l'art la composition de ce repas complet, à emporter, disposé dans une boîte bento. C'est bien plus qu'une version nipponne de la gamelle, ou de la lunch box, le bento est un incontournable de la culture nippone. Au temps des samouraïs, une feuille de bambou suffisait à transporter quelques onigiris, ces triangles de riz. Depuis les années 80, à l'ouest comme à l'est, déjeuners, gouters, pique-niques se sont « bentoïsés » et ces boites – simples ou plus complexes, à étages et compartiments – se sont généralisées. Une tradition japonaise À l'intérieur des bentos : du riz, des légumes saumurés, une protéine – du tofu grillé pour la version végane telle que la propose Hiroko Shiraishi, à Paris. C'est dans sa cuisine que la cheffe nous reçoit avec sa complice, la photographe Dorothée Perkins. Elle explique que le bento au Japon est traditionnel et millénaire. Ces repas nomades sont des repas à emporter, qui permettent d'avoir avec soi au bureau, à l'école ou en voyage, un repas complet, dessert compris. « Ce sont les mères qui les préparent tous les jours. Elles se lèvent très tôt pour que les bentos soient prêts à l'heure du départ de chacun. » Au Japon, ces bento sont omniprésents, en vente dans les gares, dans les trains, dans les petites échoppes. Ils se déclinent selon les saisons et les régions.  Des bentos végan, avec de la couleur et toute une variété de textures Hiroko Shiraishi raconte qu'elle est devenue naturellement végane. Elle s'est longtemps intéressée à l'alimentation microbiotique et végétale, à l'équilibre entre le yin et le yang, le chaud et le froid. Lorsque cet équilibre se trouve déstabilisé, se nourrir autrement permet de rétablir cet équilibre. C'est ce qu'a fait Hiroko, pour permettre à son corps de respirer à nouveau. Depuis des années maintenant, elle crée des recettes véganes, qui nourrissent mieux, légères. Une cuisine du quotidien, économe, locale, colorée, et joyeuse qu'elle propose depuis six ans avec H Vegan Bento, le service traiteur qu'elle a fondé. À écouter aussiParis-Tokyo : récits et recettes métissées de deux pays qui s'aimantent L'art de se nourrir autrement ? Dans ce livre, Hiroko Shiraishi partage plusieurs aspects de sa cuisine : les inspirations des bentos, les sauces, les plats que l'on peut ensuite diviser en petites portions à emporter, ou bien conserver tels quels à partager, des desserts : elle donne les clefs pour se nourrir autrement, en mangeant mieux. Une cuisine exclusivement végane, qui l'a emmenée à créer, à inventer pour que l'absence de protéine animale ne laisse aucune impression de frustration. Le résultat est bluffant, tout est joyeux, coloré, loin de la cuisine végétale et végane telle qu'elle a pu laisser comme souvenir. Au-delà du repas, le bento incarne une philosophie : celle du soin apporté à l'instant présent, du respect des saisons et de la modération. Préparer un bento, c'est accepter de ralentir. Là réside peut-être l'art du bento : nous rappeler qu'un repas, même modeste, peut être un geste d'attention vers les autres et envers soi-même.  Avec : Hiroko Shiraishi, cheffe et fondatrice de H Vegan Bento, traiteur spécialisé dans les bentos végan | Instagram Dorothée Perkins, photographe et autrice de En cuisine avec Hiroko, Paris Tokyo mon amour aux éditions de La Martinière | Instagram Pour aller plus loin Dictionnaire gourmand du japon de Chihiro Masui – éditions Flammarion Miso de Setsuko Kurata et Lina Merkscha – éditions La Plage Japan Cantina de Clémence Leleu – éditions Hachette Cuisine japonaise maison de Maori Murota – Hachette Cuisine Japon, le livre de la cuisine végétarienne de Nancy Singleton – Phaïdon Japon, la cuisine à la ferme de Nancy Singleton – éditions Picquier Programmation musicale : « Adagh Oyantid » de Tamikrest  Et quelques notes de « Mother Rose » de Patti Smith en fin d'émission
