boat towards it, and they found refuge under the arches of the bridge.Nl: De regen viel rustig langs de stenen muren en het water kabbelt er vredig onderdoor.En: The rain fell gently along the stone walls and the water rippled peacefully beneath.Nl: Daar, in de luwte van de storm, vonden Lars en Anouk iets onverwachts.En: There, in the calm of the storm, Lars and Anouk found something

embracing the canal.Nl: Hij zag schoonheid in het onverwachte en realiseerde zich dat de beste ontwerpen die flexibiliteit en verrassende schoonheid moeten omarmen.En: He saw beauty in the unexpected and realized that the best designs must embrace flexibility and surprising beauty.Nl: Toen de regen eindelijk ophield en de zon zijn weg terug vond aan de hemel, waren Lars en Anouk veranderd.En: When

kunst en design.En: They returned to the bustling city with new eyes, ready to transform their experiences into art and design.Nl: Zo eindigde hun dag niet alleen met nieuwe inspiratie, maar met een diepere waardering voor wat de stad had onthuld: dat in chaos en stilte beide schoonheid te vinden is.En: Thus, their day ended not only with new inspiration but with a deeper appreciation for what the city had revealed: that in both chaos and silence, beauty can be found.

In this evocative episode of Venice Talks, Monica speaks to Laura Pritchard, a British-born artisan who swapped the foggy landscapes of the UK for the light and tides of Venice. Today, Laura is one of the few women working as a maestra d'ascia, a traditional boatbuilder shaping the iconic vessels of the lagoon with age-old tools and timeless care.Together, they talk about what it means to embrace an ancient craft in a foreign land, how wood and water can become a language of belonging, and the quiet revolution of carving one's place—literally and metaphorically—in a deeply rooted tradition.It's a story of reinvention, resilience, and reverence for Venice's maritime soul.Laura's journey from the UK to Venice: beginnings, motives, transformationwhat it means to be a maestro d'ascia in a city built on watergender and tradition: carving out space in a male-dominated craftthe relationship between wood, water, and identityhow craftsmanship bridges cultures and generations✨ Credits:Hosted by Monica CesaratoProduced by Monica Cesarato, Sentire MediaGuest: Laura Pritchard

What if there were a simple way to deliver an electronic charge into difficult-to-reach spaces, cauterizing soft tissue and making it easier to flush out? By doing so, we could effectively eliminate microbes hiding in constricted lateral and accessory canals. The good news is that with the introduction of a new technology we can do just that. This innovative device seamlessly integrates with the Root ZX3 apex locator, requiring no additional time or space—yet offering a major breakthrough in root canal therapy. Joining us today to discuss this technology is Dr. Chafic Safi. Dr. Safi completed his postgraduate residency in Endodontics at the University of Pennsylvania in 2015, where he also earned a Master of Science in Oral Biology. He lives and practices in Montreal, Canada.

Canals occupy a strange place in the cultural imagination. They're manmade, yet offer a connection to nature, and they offer a means of transport, but one that's only accessible by boat. Some cities depend on canals, like Amsterdam or Venice, while in the UK, canals are often overlooked or forgotten spaces that have long outlived their original purpose. There is also surprisingly less folklore about canals than you might imagine, given the amount you can find about rivers or lakes. It's not that they're 'new' as a concept. The Romans built the Fossdyke to connect Lincoln to the River Trent in 50 CE, and the Grand Canal of China dates to the 10th century. Yet in Britain, the real Canal Age didn't begin until the later 18th century, with canals built to ease the transport of goods. While the railway took over as the transport of choice in the 19th century, the canals remained. Some stayed in use until the 1960s. So what legends or ghost stories have clung to these manmade British waterways? Let's find out in this week's episode of Fabulous Folklore!

This week on the Red Dirt Agronomy podcast, the "Doctor's of Dirt, & Everything That Grows From It" talk about the southwest corner of the state—where the cotton fields stretch wide and the water's been mighty scarce. Dr. Brian Arnall, Dr. Josh Lofton, and Dave Deken catch up with Maxwell Smith, the IPM specialist working boots-on-the-ground in Altus. Maxwell breaks down the unique challenges of farming cotton in a region where irrigation depends on the Lake Lugert-Altus canal system—and where just a few inches of water can make or break your season.They talk through the nuts and bolts of the irrigation setup, why cotton works (when it works), and what's pushing some farmers to roll the dice on dryland corn. You'll also hear why herbicide resistance is bringing back “old-school” weed control, how new cotton trait tech like ThriveOn is changing early-season insect control, and what the future looks like for peanuts in Caddo County. If you grow cotton, peanuts, or anything under hot skies and dry dirt, this episode's got your name on it.[00:00–02:00] Max Smith on Altus, cotton, and canal-fed irrigation[03:00–06:00] Allocation math, irrigation upgrades, and lining the ditches[06:30–10:30] Cotton economics, price drops, and crop-switching trends[11:00–16:00] IPM 101: Bugs, weeds, and managing the early season[16:30–20:00] Trait tech: What's working, what's not, and what's next[20:30–24:00] Rotation talk: Corn, cotton, and keeping weeds guessing[24:30–29:00] Peanuts in Oklahoma: acreage trends, water woes, and weeds RedDirtAgronomy.com

Welcome to the PRESSURISED version of episode 58, just the science, none of the waffle   We are still talking about Antarctica, the continent that keeps on giving!   For this month's interview, we speak with Devin Harrison - Marine Geoscientist/Postdoctoral Researcher at Kelpie Geoscience - Devin is a postdoctoral research fellow at Kelpie Geoscience. His research utilises high-resolution topographic models of the seafloor and complementary geophysical and geospatial datasets to understand the geomorphic evolution and process landform relationship of the deep sea and the continental shelves. Devin is particularly interested in the glacial geomorphological record and the evolution of glacial environments from the last glacial maximum (~20-25 thousand years ago) to the present day.   We're really trying to make this project self-sustaining, so we have started looking for ways to support the podcast.

We are still talking about Antarctica, the continent that keeps on giving! Alan and Thom discuss trying to stop working momentarily, constructing a treehouse, and acquiring a shark. In the news, we rattle off a list of newly discovered species with some very cool (but hard to pronounce) names. There has been a lot of squiddy news. Footage of divers swimming with a giant squid has resurfaced; in an exclusive for the podcast, Alan has recorded more amazing Magnapinna (bigfin or elbow squid) footage. And the biggest bit of news: the colossal squid has been seen alive in its natural habitat for the first time! Thom and Kat were part of the press conference. Megalodon (the not-deep-sea and very extinct shark) has been reassessed based on what we do know. It was likely longer and slimmer than we thought, and we have estimations for their speed and size at birth. We also have a new coelacanth population and a classic car found in the deep.   For this month's interview, we speak with Devin Harrison - Marine Geoscientist/Postdoctoral Researcher at Kelpie Geoscience - Devin is a postdoctoral research fellow at Kelpie Geoscience.

  On this episode of Unsupervised Learning Razib talks to Jacob Shell. Shell is a professor of geography at Temple University and author of Transportation and Revolt: Pigeons, Mules, Canals, and the Giants of the Monsoon Forest: Living and Working with Elephants. Educated at Columbia and Syracuse universities, Shell is active on social media, where he comments extensively on the politicization of the academy. The conversation begins with Shell's piece in Compact Magazine, To Save Academia, Hire Conservatives. The more than 3,000-word essay argues that academia must diversify ideologically to save itself, but also engage in a wider range of scholarship. Shell points out that US academia has become an ideological monoculture, with an overwhelming dominance of left-leaning faculty, especially at elite institutions. This imbalance, driven by extreme partisan ratios in fields like anthropology, leaves universities politically vulnerable and out of step with the broader public. He challenges the common view that this trend is due to self-selection, or the “pipeline problem,” suggesting instead that informal screening mechanisms discourage or exclude conservative scholars. Shell also argues that the grant system encourages conformity and limits academic freedom. More audaciously, he argues that some academics should be singled out by their peers, whether through their institution or professional organizations,t when they engage in politically motivated misrepresentation of their scholarship. Ultimately, Shell insists that academia's unique role in public life is to observe and understand the world, not to risk co-option as an arm of any political movement.

[Encore] Kate and Franklin sit down with Steven Canals, the brilliant mind behind Pose, to talk about growing up Afro-Latinx in the Boogie Down Bronx, why Cardi B is everything, and how a 2004 screening of Paris is Burning lit the spark that would eventually become one of TV's most groundbreaking shows. They dig into the complicated, beautiful realities of intersectional identity, the tough questions that came up in the Pose writers' room, and how Steven stayed true to his vision every step of the way. Plus, he drops some incredible answers to the Black List Pod questionnaire — including a wild (and amazing) mash-up of The Color Purple and Transformers.Questions? Comments? Criticism?

I el cas és que els dos començaren junts la seva trajectòria en el món del teatre, fa 60 anys enrere, el mateix dia tot participant d'una representació de la Passió que dirigí el mateix Canals. Xavier Canals va rebre el passat dissabte el premi Arlequí de la Federació de grups amateurs de teatre de Catalunya, per la seva labor pel foment dels grups de teatre amateur, i la sorpresa fou que durant la vetllada celebrada a Pineda de Mar, Jordi Milán va rebre una menció especial, que s'atorga de forma més esporàdica. Amb Canals hem parlat del vincle amb Jordi Milán, de la situació del teatre amateur, i d'un desig: que Sitges pugui tenir un teatre municipal. L'entrada Xavier Canals rep un dels premis Arlequí de teatre amateur, i a l’escenari es troba amb… Jordi Milán, que en rep un altre ha aparegut primer a Radio Maricel.

A chat with Russ and Paul over a few great ales about Canals and saving England's heritage.

Loneliness among pastors, despite being surrounded by people, is often rooted in fear of vulnerability, fast-paced environments, and reliance on technology, leading to isolation. Loneliness can have significant health implications, including increased risk of chronic illnesses, but addressing it through self-care, social engagement, and real-world connections can help mitigate its effects.

Real Life: This week's episode has movie madness, creepers, princesses, and ducks with vendettas. Devon took a deep dive into the Minecraft Movie—yes, it's real, and yes, it might haunt him forever. Steven watched Disney's live-action Snow White and has thoughts... strong ones. Meanwhile, Ben got cartoon-punched in the face (in the best way) by The Day The Earth Blew Up: A Looney Tunes Movie (IMDb). Think: Bugs Bunny meets alien invasion. Future or Now: Solar Panels on Canals? Yes, Please: Ben brings us Project Nexus—the U.S.'s first solar panel canopy system over irrigation canals. The $20 million pilot is up and running in California's Turlock Irrigation District and could be a game-changer. Benefits include reducing water evaporation, improving quality, and cutting down on canal maintenance. Also? Clean energy. Read more TV Necromancy: Devon reports on shows coming back—some you missed, some you didn't know you missed, and a few you assumed were never coming back. Television's not dead. It's just rebooting. ba-ba-ba-BA-baaaaaa: Steven delivers the science: a Western diet can mess you up in just two weeks. Inflammation, weakened immunity, and long-term disease processes all kick in fast. But the good news? Switching to a traditional African diet (think fiber, fermented foods, veggies) can start reversing the damage just as quickly. Check it out “Book Club”: This week we read Johnny Mnemonic by William Gibson. A short story that drips with classic cyberpunk vibes, data couriers, and one incredibly dangerous dolphin. Devon didn't totally connect with it, but Steven loved the gritty worldbuilding and its ties to Neuromancer. Ben was onboard for the full ride—hacker noir, neon grit, and all.

more:fluentfiction.com/nl/episode/2025-03-23-22-34-01-nl Story Transcript:Nl: Sander liep naast Femke langs de grachten van Amsterdam.En: Sander walked next to Femke along the canals of Amsterdam.Nl: Het was een prachtige lentedag, het soort dag dat je uitnodigt om nieuwe avonturen te beleven.En: It was a beautiful spring day, the kind of day that invites you to experience new adventures.Nl: "Laten we het Rijksmuseum bezoeken," stelde Sander voor, zijn stem vol enthousiasme.En: "Let's visit the Rijksmuseum," Sander suggested, his voice full of enthusiasm.Nl: Hij hoopte dat Femke net zo zou genieten als hij.En: He hoped that Femke would enjoy it just as much as he did.Nl: Sander hield van kunst, of deed tenminste alsof, vooral vandaag.En: Sander loved art, or at least pretended to, especially today.Nl: Binnen waren de grote hallen van het Rijksmuseum gevuld met de geur van geschiedenis en oude schilderijen.En: Inside, the large halls of the Rijksmuseum were filled with the scent of history and old paintings.Nl: De muren hingen vol met meesterwerken.En: The walls were adorned with masterpieces.Nl: Femke keek verbaasd om zich heen.En: Femke looked around in amazement.Nl: "Er is zoveel te zien," zei ze zacht.En: "There is so much to see," she said softly.Nl: Ze liepen samen door de gangen, bewonderend de werken van Rembrandt en Vermeer.En: They walked together through the corridors, admiring the works of Rembrandt and Vermeer.Nl: Toen, bij toeval, belandden ze in een apart deel van het museum.En: Then, by chance, they ended up in a different part of the museum.Nl: Dit was geen gewone tentoonstelling.En: This was not an ordinary exhibition.Nl: De sfeer was anders, formeler, en er stonden mensen in nette pakken.En: The atmosphere was different, more formal, and there were people in smart suits.Nl: Ze waren blijkbaar midden in een exclusief evenement voor kunstcritici beland.En: Apparently, they had stumbled into an exclusive event for art critics.Nl: Sander voelde een tinteling van nervositeit, maar verborg die snel.En: Sander felt a twinge of nervousness but quickly hid it.Nl: "Dit is precies waar ik je over vertelde, Femke," zei hij nonchalant.En: "This is exactly what I was telling you about, Femke," he said nonchalantly.Nl: Hij wilde niet toegeven dat hij eigenlijk helemaal niet wist wat hij moest zeggen.En: He didn't want to admit that he actually had no idea what to say.Nl: Femke keek hem even aan, glimlachte en besloot hem het voordeel van de twijfel te geven.En: Femke glanced at him, smiled, and decided to give him the benefit of the doubt.Nl: De kamer was gevuld met abstracte schilderijen en moderne kunst, een scherp contrast met de klassieke stukken die ze eerder hadden gezien.En: The room was filled with abstract paintings and modern art, a stark contrast to the classical pieces they had seen earlier.Nl: Sander wees naar een groot schilderij dat eruitzag als een chaos van kleuren en lijnen.En: Sander pointed to a large painting that looked like a chaos of colors and lines.Nl: "Dit suggereert de innerlijke strijd van de moderne mens," zei hij met een zelfverzekerde stem, terwijl hij eigenlijk ter plekke iets verzon.En: "This suggests the inner struggle of modern man," he said with a confident voice, while he actually made something up on the spot.Nl: Net toen Femke dacht dat ze misschien weg moesten glippen, kwam er een man naar hen toe.En: Just when Femke thought they might need to slip away, a man approached them.Nl: "Wat vindt u van onze hoofdtentoonstelling?"En: "What do you think of our main exhibition?"Nl: vroeg hij geïnteresseerd.En: he asked with interest.Nl: Sander keek even bedenkelijk, en zei toen: "Deze stukken confronteren ons met de tijdelijkheid van perceptie, nietwaar?"En: Sander paused thoughtfully and then said, "These pieces confront us with the temporality of perception, don't they?"Nl: Er viel een stille bewondering.En: A silent admiration fell over them.Nl: De andere genodigden knikten instemmend.En: The other guests nodded in agreement.Nl: Sander voelde zich alsof hij elk moment kon worden ontmaskerd, maar kreeg tegelijkertijd een golf van zelfvertrouwen.En: Sander felt as if he could be exposed at any moment, but simultaneously experienced a wave of self-confidence.Nl: Femke keek met nieuwe ogen naar haar gezelschap.En: Femke looked at her companion with new eyes.Nl: Ze had nooit gedacht dat Sander tot zo'n antwoord in staat was, maar ze wist diep vanbinnen dat hij vooral geluk had gehad.En: She had never thought Sander was capable of such an answer, but she knew deep down that he had mostly been lucky.Nl: Na afloop van de bijeenkomst kwam de man weer naar hen toe.En: After the gathering, the man approached them again.Nl: "U moet naar onze volgende tentoonstelling komen," zei hij met een glimlach.En: "You must come to our next exhibition," he said with a smile.Nl: "U heeft een interessante kijk op kunst."En: "You have an interesting perspective on art."Nl: Sander glimlachte terug, iets nerveus.En: Sander smiled back, somewhat nervously.Nl: "Dank u, maar ik denk dat ik het bij deze ene keer laat," zei hij.En: "Thank you, but I think I'll leave it at this one time," he said.Nl: Buiten, in het zonlicht, sloeg Femke hem lichtjes op de schouder.En: Outside, in the sunlight, Femke lightly tapped him on the shoulder.Nl: "Ik wist het al die tijd," gaf ze toe.En: "I knew it all along," she admitted.Nl: "Je hebt jezelf echt gered daarbinnen.En: "You really saved yourself in there.Nl: Misschien moeten we vaker naar kunst kijken, zonder druk."En: Maybe we should look at art more often, without pressure."Nl: Sander schoot in de lach.En: Sander burst into laughter.Nl: "Misschien heb je gelijk.En: "Maybe you're right.Nl: En weet je, ik denk dat ik kunst nu beter begrijp.En: And you know, I think I understand art better now.Nl: Het gaat om wat jij erin ziet, niet?"En: It's about what you see in it, isn't it?"Nl: Femke knikte.En: Femke nodded.Nl: "Ja, en er is geen goed of fout," zei ze met een glimlach.En: "Yes, and there's no right or wrong," she said with a smile.Nl: Ze liepen hand in hand verder, genietend van de lente in Amsterdam.En: They walked hand in hand, enjoying the spring in Amsterdam.Nl: Hun avontuur in het Rijksmuseum was misschien niet zoals gepland, maar het had hen dichter bij elkaar gebracht.En: Their adventure in the Rijksmuseum may not have gone as planned, but it had brought them closer together.

Not only does the water of the SRP canals help people live in the desert, but it also employs a very important contributor to the community: the white amur fish. Now, you might not immediately think of fish as being important to living in the desert, but this specific kind of grass carp plays a key role in ensuring the water flows smoothly throughout the canals. Since the canals are surrounded by a major metropolitan area, they tend to end up with some blown-in debris and garbage from city life. This led one of our listeners to ask if it's safe for the fish to be in the canals, and who takes care of the trash that finds its way into them. This week on Valley 101, a podcast by The Arizona Republic and azcentral.com, we hear from a senior environmental scientist from SRP who explains the important job the white amur fish does for metro Phoenix.
