Joy is a profound and often elusive element within our lives, as discussed in this enlightening conversation with Raquel Braganza, an empowerment life coach. We delve into the significance of actively seeking joy rather than passively awaiting its arrival. Raquel shares her personal journey, illustrating how joy can be rediscovered through the appreciation of life's small pleasures, even amidst adversity. The dialogue emphasises that joy is not merely the absence of sorrow, but a conscious choice that can coexist with difficult emotions. We explore practical strategies for identifying and nurturing joy, encouraging listeners to engage in a treasure hunt for the moments that ignite their spirits.Takeaways: Joy is often perceived as an external phenomenon, yet it is essential to realise that joy must be actively sought out and cultivated from within ourselves. In moments of hardship, it is crucial to identify and embrace the small joys that can invigorate our spirits and reconnect us to our sense of vitality. Life is not strictly a dichotomy of happiness or sadness; joy can coexist with sorrow, providing us with the resilience to navigate our emotional landscapes. Engaging in sensory experiences, such as enjoying a pleasant aroma or the beauty of nature, can significantly enhance our ability to appreciate joy in our everyday lives.

Es ist das Jahr 1662, am Hafen von Portsmouth: König Charles II wartet hier auf seine Verlobte, die portugiesische Katharina von Braganza. Sie verlässt das Schiff und hat nach der langen Schifffahrt eine Bitte an ihren Verlobten: Eine schöne Tasse Tee. „In England trinken wir keinen Tee, Bier muss reichen.“ sagt der König. Doch das soll sich schon bald ändern. -- Er gehört zu England, wie Big Ben und die Windsors: Tee! Alexander Klaus-Stecher und Claus Beling widmen sich in dieser Folge dem Lieblingsgetränk der Briten. Sie besuchen die berühmte Teefirma Twinings, die 1706 gegründet wurde und bis heute einen Sitz in den Originalräumen in London hat. Spannend: Genau dort wurde der erste Earl Grey-Tee produziert und sogar die berühmte Autorin Jane Austin hat dort ihren Lieblingstee gekauft. Auch heute ist die Teekultur noch wichtig für viele. So trinkt Lady Gaga zum Beispiel in den Pausen ihrer Konzerte schwarzen Tee und Gwyneth Paltrow liebt grünen Tee. Wie hat es Katharina von Braganza geschafft, dass ein ganzes Land verrückt nach Tee wird? Was hat Twinings mit Coffeeshops zu tun? Warum durften diese Shops nur Männer besuchen? Und welche Tees mögen Alexander Klaus-Stecher und Claus Beling am liebsten? „It's Teatime“ im BRITPOD - England at it's best. -- WhatsApp: Du kannst Alexander und Claus direkt auf ihre Handys Nachrichten schicken! Welche Ecke Englands sollten die beiden mal besuchen? Zu welchen Themen wünschst Du Dir mehr Folgen? Warst Du schon mal in Great Britain und magst ein paar Fotos mit Claus und Alexander teilen?

Vuelve a SER Historia el músico, investigador y escritor Luis Antonio Muñoz, que acaba de publicar la novela 'La partitura de la reina'. Con él profundizamos en la figura de Bárbara de Braganza, reina y esposa de Fernando VI, y su relación con la música. 

El martillo de las brujas era el nombre con el que se conocía al Malleus Maleficarum, un libro escrito a finales del siglo XV con el que se asentaron las bases de muchas leyendas sobre las brujas y que justificaban su persecución. Este será el tema de nuestro cronovisor de esta semana junto a Jesús Callejo. Después retrocedemos un poco en el tiempo para irnos al siglo XIV con Joaquín Molina, autor de la novela 'Angelicus', ambientada en el reino de Aragón y en la orden de los caballeros hospitalarios. Pablo Arias nos trae una nueva sección de su Historia de la ciencia 2.0 hablando de la inteligencia artificial tan de moda en los últimos tiempos. Acabamos el programa con el músico Luis Antonio Muñoz, quien acaba de publicar la novela 'La partitura de la reina', en la que nos presenta la figura de la reina Bárbara de Braganza.

In this episode, Dr Amy Saunders and Dr Johanna Strong join Susannah to speak about their Royal Studies Journal Cluster, “Queenship and Cross-Confessional Identity”. The Cluster features in the December issue of the Royal Studies Journal and is available open-access through the RSJ website. Guest Bios:Amy has recently completed a PhD in early modern history and heritage at the University of Winchester, supervised by Dr Ellie Woodacre and Dr Simon Sandall. Her research examines the representation of Stuart royal narratives in modern heritage sites, exploring the reconstructed narratives of James VI & I, Anna of Denmark, Charles I, Henrietta Maria, Charles II, and Catherine of Braganza. Confessional and national identity are central themes in Amy's research and are relevant in both her work on the seventeenth century and the modern heritage sites she examines. Her forthcoming book chapter, “Curating a Conduit: Elizabeth Stuart, Motherhood and National Identity in Heritage Sites”, explores how James and Anna's daughter Elizabeth has been repositioned as the ideal ‘English' royal woman in modern heritage sites in England. Johanna completed her PhD at the University of Winchester under the supervision of Drs Ellie Woodacre and Simon Sandall. Her thesis focused on how narratives of religion, national identity, and gender influenced the creation and perpetuation of Mary I's legacy in the dominant English historical narrative from 1558 until 1660. Her research has been featured on a variety of podcasts and informed Winchester Cathedral's 3-part series on Mary I and Philip II's wedding at the Cathedral. Her first published chapter appeared in Valerie Schutte and Jessica S. Hower's award-winning volume Writing Mary I: History, Historiography, and Fiction and her first monograph is forthcoming. Johanna is the Digital Seminar Series Coordinator for the Royal Studies Network and is the Social Media Coordinator for all things RSN. You can follow Johanna and her research on X (formerly Twitter), Instagram, and her website.

She shaped diplomacy, influenced the arts, and brought tea drinking to England—an entire culture owes its roots to her.” “Despite being childless and dealing with a king known for his mistresses, Catherine managed to hold her ground and maintain her dignity as queen.” “Catherine's dowry brought Bombay into British hands, which set the stage for the future of Britain’s empire in India.” “Imagine arriving in a new country, seasick, and the first thing you ask for is tea—but no one in England had even heard of it back then!” Chapters 00:00 Introduction to Catherine of Braganza 02:38 Catherine’s Early Life and Historical Context 05:07 Restoration England and Political Landscape 07:54 Catherine’s Influence on British Imperialism 10:32 Catherine as a Cultural Influencer 13:20 Catherine’s Role in the Arts 15:46 Navigating Catholicism in a Protestant England 18:31 Catherine’s Personal Challenges and Resilience 21:28 Surprising Discoveries in Research 24:08 Catherine’s Diplomatic Role 26:34 Catherine’s Financial Impact on England 28:46 Catherine’s Legacy in Anglo-Portuguese Relations 31:10 Lessons from Catherine’s Life

In this episode, I am joined by Life Coach Raquel Braganza, where we discuss how egos can affect pet groomers. This episode dives deep into the industry where we discuss if this can be useful, or not so useful in the industry.

How did tea become Britain's national drink? Its story begins in China, where it was first popularised during the Han and Tang dynasties - but it first made its mark in London's coffee houses on 30th September, 1658, when it was advertised to the public in a ‘newsbook', marketing the exotic beverage as "an excellent and by all physicians approved China drink". However, British tea importers faced stiff competition from the beer industry, which wasn't thrilled about losing customers to this new sector. Breweries even spread rumours that tea was bad for your health in a bid to retain their market share. Yet, once Portuguese princess Catherine of Braganza married Charles II in 1662, the Royal family's much-publicised fondness for a cuppa brought it out of the coffeehouses and into homes, where it became a genteel, domestic drink. In this episode, Arion, Rebecca and Olly trace the history of England's infatuation with tea, from Pitt The Younger's association with the ‘tea tax', to shops like Twinings springing up across the country, cementing the drink's place in British society… Further Reading: •  ‘Tea' (The Fitzwilliam Museum, Cambridge): https://fitzmuseum.cam.ac.uk/explore-our-collection/highlights/context/stories-and-histories/tea • ‘The history of tea' (The National Trust): https://www.nationaltrust.org.uk/discover/history/the-history-of-tea • ‘Tea: Helen & Olly's Great British Questions' (Answer Me This!, 2010): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_8tGlGvn3N0 Love the show?

Es una bebida aromática y reconfortante y millones de personas la disfrutan a diario en todo el mundo. Se cultiva en los trópicos, pero no son sus frutos los que nos interesan, sino sus hojas. Como muchos ya habréis adivinado estoy hablando del té que, como le sucede al café, tiene una historia muy rica que se remonta miles de años atrás en el tiempo. Desde sus humildes orígenes en las montañas de China hasta su expansión por todo el mundo ya convertido como una de las bebidas más populares, el té ha dejado una huella indeleble en la cultura, la economía y la sociedad humana. Del té sabemos que apareció en China, pero no exactamente cuando. Y ahí surge la leyenda para echarnos una mano. Una de las leyendas más conocidas atribuye el descubrimiento del té al emperador chino Shennong, un sabio y herbolario que vivió hace unos cinco mil años. Según la leyenda, Shennong estaba hirviendo agua bajo un árbol cuando algunas hojas cayeron en el cuenco creando una infusión aromática que le agradó mucho. Esta historia es legendaria, los primeros registros históricos del té datan de algo más tarde, tiempos de la dinastía Han, es decir, de hace unos dos mil años, pero sólo lo empleaban como remedio medicinal. Siglos más tarde, ya durante la dinastía Tang el té se convirtió en una bebida popular en toda China, y su consumo se extendió a otras clases sociales. Durante este período, el té pasó a integrarse en la cultura china, y su preparación y consumo se sofisticaron. Fue en ese momento cuando apareció el primer tratado sobre el té, en el que se detallaban todos sus aspectos, desde su cultivo, recolección y procesamiento hasta su preparación y consumo. La costumbre no tardó mucho en adoptarse en Japón y Corea, adonde llegó de la mano de los monjes budistas que bebían té para prolongar sus meditaciones. Primero lo adoptaron las élites y luego poco a poco fue conquistando al pueblo. Nacieron así ceremonias muy elaboradas para tomarlo. Los primeros testigos occidentales de esas ceremonias tan refinadas fueron los viajeros medievales como Marco Polo, que todo lo más que pudieron hacer fue consignar por escrito que a los chinos les gustaba mucho aquella extraña infusión. No sería hasta algo más tarde cuando los comerciantes portugueses decidieron llevarse el té a Europa. En origen era algo exótico y muy costoso, por lo que sólo los ricos podían permitírselo. En Europa tenía que competir, además, con el café, que había conquistado ya el continente. Pero, a pesar de su precio, consiguió abrirse camino y echar raíces, especialmente en Gran Bretaña, donde el hábito de tomar té lo llevó una infanta portuguesa, Catalina de Braganza, a quien casaron con Carlos II en el siglo XVII. Unos años después el té ya era la bebida más apreciada por los ingleses. Pero no se podía cultivar en Europa, había que traerla de extremo oriente. La Compañía Británica de las Indias Orientales empezó a importarlo desde China, pero pronto advirtieron que se aclimataba muy bien en la India y Ceilán, lugares que controlaban directamente. A finales del siglo XVIII ya era la bebida nacional hasta el punto de que la revuelta en sus colonias de Norteamérica empezó por un motín en el puerto de Boston a cuenta de los impuestos sobre el té. Hoy el té es una infusión que se consume en todo el mundo de cientos de maneras. Se cultiva en tres continentes y se han desarrollado varias culturas del té nacionales y otras tantas internacionales. Es una bebida patrimonio de la humanidad que no ha dejado de transformarse hasta el momento presente.

Picture Charles II's court and you'll probably imagine a riot of excess, filled with drinking, games, and of course, mistresses.

Luisa de Guzmán fue una noble andaluza que se casó con el duque de Braganza, sin sospechar que su vida daría un giro y acabaría convertida nada más y nada menos que en Reina de Portugal. Hoy hablamos de su peculiar historia.

He did it again. The Donald pulled off yet another miracle by taking his (failing) social media platform public. The deal had been in the works for a while and looked DOA last year. But it was revived recently and when it hit the Nasdaq this week it added billions to Trump's net worth and gave him an immediate cash infusion that will likely prevent him having to sell assets to make the (reduced) bond in his civil fraud case. The wealthy in this country truly operate under different rules. The mechanism Trump used to take a losing company public quickly and with relative ease compared to normal IPOs is called a SPAC, or Special Purpose Acquisition Company. SPACs gained a lot of attention a few years back before basically imploding as regulators frowned upon them and investments fizzled. As quickly as they gained prominence, they flamed out and were basically revealed to be scams. But it didn't stop the biggest SCAM artist in the world from packaging up his SCAM social media platform inside a SCAM financial vehicle. God bless 'Murica.

rWotD Episode 2478: Head of the Imperial House of Brazil Welcome to random Wiki of the Day where we read the summary of a random Wikipedia page every day.The random article for Thursday, 15 February 2024 is Head of the Imperial House of Brazil.The Head of the Brazilian Imperial House (Portuguese: Chefe da Casa Imperial do Brasil) is a title used by the leader of the Brazilian imperial family, currently the House of Orléans-Braganza, a descendant branch of the House of Braganza. The title of the head of the imperial house is "Emperor de jure". The current head of the imperial house is Prince Bertrand of Orléans-Braganza, who took over as head of the imperial house on July 15, 2022, after the death of his brother, Prince Luiz of Orléans-Braganza. After the death of the last emperor of Brazil, Pedro II of Brazil, in 1891, in view of the proclamation of the Brazilian republic on November 15, 1889, and the revocation of all titles of nobility then existing, starting with the Brazilian Constitution of 1891. It serves to indicate the heir presumptive to the extinct imperial throne of Brazil. The Brazilian monarchists affirm that, maintaining the logic established by the Brazilian Constitution of 1824, this title would respect the line of sovereignty of the jus sanguinis, being granted to the oldest male direct descendant of Pedro I of Brazil and, failing that, to the varoa. If the holder of the title were a descendant of the Brazilian imperial family, as was Isabel Leopoldina de Bragança, who married Prince Gastão of Orléans in 1864, the title would never be transmitted to her husband, this being the Head Consort of the Imperial House Brazilian. In the same way that happened with the Brazilian emperors when they were elevated to the throne, the first-born of the Head of the Brazilian Imperial House would receive the extinct title of Prince Imperial of Brazil, and his son the title of Prince of Grão-Pará.This recording reflects the Wikipedia text as of 00:14 UTC on Thursday, 15 February 2024.For the full current version of the article, see Head of the Imperial House of Brazil on Wikipedia.This podcast uses content from Wikipedia under the Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike License.Visit our archives at wikioftheday.com and subscribe to stay updated on new episodes.Follow us on Mastodon at @wikioftheday@masto.ai.Also check out Curmudgeon's Corner, a current events podcast.Until next time, I'm Kevin Neural.

Do you like tea? I love trying different kinds, especially on cold days. Today, we'll talk about the British love for tea. And in a future episode, I'll show you how to make a British-style cup of tea. Hi! I'm Georgiana. Thanks for joining me for another episode of the podcast. My mission is to help you improve your fluency. And if you want to get the transcript, then visit my website: SpeakEnglishpodcast.com/podcast It's completely free! Ok, let's start! Once Upon a Time: Long ago, in the 1600s, tea debuted in the UK. This fancy beverage didn't magically appear; it came from Portugal. Catherine of Braganza, married to King Charles II, really liked tea and introduced this interesting new habit to the UK. Tea for the Elite: In the early days, tea was rare and expensive, like treasure! People kept their tea in special locked boxes called tea caddies. Back then, only people like the king and queen enjoyed it. Afternoon Tea Parties: In the 1700s, tea became more popular, but it was still costly. Then, Anna, the Duchess of Bedford, had a brilliant idea: afternoon tea parties! She invited her friends for tea and snacks in the afternoon, which became a stylish tradition. The Tea Trade: The British East India Company played a huge part in making tea famous in the UK. They established trade relations with China and brought boatloads of tea back. There were even big arguments and fights, like the Opium Wars, over tea and other trading. Tea for Everyone: In the 1800s, tea became more affordable, and people from all walks of life started drinking it. Tea became a daily treat for everyone, including workers and those with a refined taste. A Solution to a Big Problem: In the 1800s, in the UK, many people drank too much alcohol. And it caused a lot of problems. Luckily, some smart people thought tea was a better choice than alcohol. Here's why: Tea was cheaper: Tea cost less than alcohol, so more people could buy it. Easy to find: You could find tea in many places. It was easy to buy. No harmful effects: Tea didn't make you sick or misbehave, like alcohol. Good for friends: People liked to meet and drink tea together. It was fun and didn't make you drunk. Calming: Tea helped people feel calm and relaxed without alcohol.   While tea did not solve all alcohol problems, it was healthier and cheaper for many. It went from being an exclusive drink to something everyone loves. And that's the short story of tea time in the UK! Enjoy your next cup of tea! In a future episode, I'll talk about the different types of tea. And I will teach you how to make a proper cup of tea.

Charly is joined by Amy Saunders to discuss the oft ignored Stuart Queens Consort, especially Catherine of Braganza. How are these women represented in heritage, and do they deserve better? Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

This week we are discussing one of the lesser known Queen consorts of England, Catherine of Braganza. Promoted to princess status at the age of 2 thanks to her dad's efforts to kick the Spanish out of Portugal, little Catherine was destined to be Queen of France. But plans change and new alliances suddenly left Catherine with the prospect of having to sail across the channel to a wet little island to become the new wife of Charles II... which I am sure was just as good.

Preaching for the 31st Sunday in Ordinary Time, Raynah Marise Braganza Passanha offers a reflection on living as inclusive, servant leaders: "Saying yes to a sacred call requires vulnerability, being conscious of and addressing the fears that deter one from living that 'yes' honestly and completely. Let us commit to help one another be effective leaders. May our lives witness our love and faithfulness to God, the Church, and the Good News. As we address the shadow side of the Church, we need to also challenge the shadow side of ourselves. In our fight against exclusion, let us try to live consciously inclusive lives. In our work for the Reign of God, may we testify to the kind of world we are working towards." Raynah Marise is a faith and gender rights activist, based in Pune, India.

Catherine of Braganza has often been overshadowed by Charles II's numerous mistresses, but she has an interesting story in her own right. She faced a difficult start in England, finding her own space in a court where the mistresses were publicly honoured, as well as being a Catholic queen for a decidedly not Catholic country.
