Parce que… c'est l'épisode 0x30B! Shameless plug 24 et 25 juin 2026 - Troopers 26 et 27 juin 2026 - leHACK 30 juin au 2 juillet 2026 - Pass the SALT 19 septembre 2026 - Bsides Montréal 20 au 26 septembre 2026 - BruCON 13 novembre 2026 - DEATHCon 16 au 19 novembre - European Cyber Week 1 au 3 décembre 2026 - Forum INCYBER - Canada 2026 24 et 25 février 2027 - SéQCure 2027 Description Dans cette 17e collaboration entre les balados Cyber Citoyen et Polysécure, Catherine anime la discussion avec Sam et Nicolas autour de quatre grands thèmes : la surveillance étatique en Russie, les abus du système de surveillance routière Flock, une étude sur les noms de domaine malveillants et le couplage de cette tendance avec le phishing, et enfin une anecdote sur les véhicules de livraison Amazon. Le système Sorm en Russie Sam ouvre l'épisode en présentant le Sorm, un système russe de surveillance des communications téléphoniques et internet datant de 1995. Conçu au départ pour donner au FSB un accès direct aux infrastructures téléphoniques, il a été étendu en 1998 aux fournisseurs d'accès internet, puis intensifié autour des Jeux olympiques de Sochi sous prétexte sécuritaire. Les fournisseurs doivent installer cet équipement à leurs propres frais, ce qui pousse les petits opérateurs à résister, sous peine d'amendes ou de retrait de licence pendant dix ans. Le système permet désormais des recherches par mots-clés et centralise des données extrêmement sensibles : adresses, passeports, coordonnées bancaires, géolocalisation, adresses IP et courriels. Les intervenants soulignent le parallèle avec les pratiques américaines révélées par Snowden, et notent que cette intensification coïncide avec le mécontentement intérieur lié à la guerre en Ukraine. La discussion s'élargit aux blocages d'internet ailleurs (Iran, listes blanches), à la conférence SplinterNet sur la fragmentation du réseau mondial, puis à des tendances similaires dans les démocraties occidentales (Chat Control en Europe, le projet de loi C-2 au Canada, les lois britanniques), illustrant que l'identification obligatoire (numéros de téléphone, cartes SIM, interdiction des téléphones jetables aux États-Unis) n'est pas l'apanage des régimes autoritaires. Nicolas évoque aussi son expérience personnelle en Corée du Sud, où l'identité est systématiquement liée aux services numériques. Le segment se conclut sur l'inquiétude que cette centralisation des données personnelles russes constitue elle-même une cible de choix pour des puissances rivales, et sur le constat plus large d'une incompréhension généralisée des conséquences à long terme de ces choix technologiques. Les dérives du système Flock Nicolas revient ensuite sur Flock, le système de reconnaissance de plaques d'immatriculation, déjà abordé dans un épisode précédent. Grâce au site DeFlock, des citoyens ont découvert que leur plaque avait été recherchée des centaines de fois sans justification : un cas où un policier avait consulté la plaque d'une victime plus de cent fois, et un chef de police pris à espionner sa propre conjointe. La réponse de l'entreprise Flock, qui se targue de transparence plutôt que de reconnaître le problème, est jugée particulièrement maladroite, surtout après la révélation qu'une quarantaine de nouveaux cas d'abus ont été recensés en un seul mois. Les animateurs saluent le rôle du journalisme d'enquête (notamment celui de 404 Media) dans la mise en lumière de ces dérives, et comparent l'absence de garde-fous chez Flock aux systèmes d'alerte automatique utilisés dans les réseaux hospitaliers ou les agences gouvernementales, où une consultation anormale d'un dossier déclenche immédiatement une enquête. Le débat se conclut sur la question de savoir si cette absence de contrôle relève de l'incompétence ou d'un choix délibéré de ne pas investir dans la prévention des abus. Noms de domaine, phishing et marché de la fraude Sam présente ensuite une étude d'Interisle sur les noms de domaine enregistrés en 2025 : sur 85 millions de domaines créés, 8,5 millions ont fini bloqués pour usage frauduleux, soit un plancher d'environ 10 %, probablement plus proche de 15 à 20 % en réalité. Cinq bureaux d'enregistrement concentrent la moitié des domaines bloqués, l'un d'eux affichant un taux de 88 %, souvent via l'enregistrement automatisé en masse de domaines à très bas coût. Le groupe critique l'approche du rapport, trop centrée sur l'autorégulation du marché, alors qu'aucun mécanisme structurel n'empêche ces registraires de continuer leurs pratiques. L'exemple belge du CCB, qui bloque au niveau national les domaines jugés dangereux, est cité comme une approche plus efficace, comparable à une mesure de santé publique. La conversation aborde aussi la difficulté d'agir à l'échelle internationale, faute de coordination entre les autorités américaines et européennes. En lien avec ce sujet, Sam note une diminution du volume des attaques de phishing de 20 % en 2024 et 2025, non pas parce que la menace recule, mais parce que les attaquants privilégient désormais des campagnes plus sophistiquées et ciblées plutôt que des envois massifs peu rentables, une tendance facilitée par les outils d'intelligence artificielle générative. L'anecdote des camionnettes Amazon et la question de l'authenticité Le dernier sujet porte sur une mise à jour logicielle des camions de livraison Amazon qui coupe la climatisation après seulement trente secondes d'inactivité, exposant les chauffeurs à des chaleurs dangereuses, notamment au Texas. La réponse officielle d'Amazon, qui présente cette mesure comme un gain de confort et d'autonomie de batterie, est tournée en dérision par les animateurs, qui y voient un exemple typique d'absence d'accountability corporative. Cette anecdote sert de tremplin à une réflexion plus large sur le manque d'authenticité des communications d'entreprise contemporaines, illustrée par le retrait du slogan « Don't Be Evil » chez Google, et une brève mention du manifeste controversé du dirigeant de Palantir, sujet que le groupe prévoit de traiter dans un épisode futur dédié.

Small rural hospitals keep entire communities alive, and they're quietly running out of road. In this episode, host CCB sits down with Aaron McKenzie, Senior Strategist, and Eric Peabody, Principal Analyst at Taylor Design's Cove Studio, to unpack their 2025 ONEder Grant research into one of healthcare's most underfunded problems: strategic planning for under-resourced rural and community hospitals. Through interviews with hospital executives across the country, the team mapped a layered crisis of financial constraint, recruitment chicken-and-eggs, and the surprising importance of narrative continuity in long-horizon planning. Their response: four lightweight, AI-enabled tools designed to give overstretched facilities teams, and their local generalist architects, a real fighting chance. This is research that meets communities where they are today.

China will roll out a fresh round of capital injections into its largest State-owned commercial banks through the issuance of special treasury bonds, a move set to significantly boost their lending capacity and strengthen support for the real economy.中国将通过发行特别国债，对其最大的国有商业银行实施新一轮注资。此举将显著提升银行的放贷能力，增强对实体经济的支持力度。According to the Ministry of Finance, auctions for five-year and seven-year special treasury bonds — used to inject capital into central financial institutions — are scheduled for May 22 and June 12, marking the launch of a second round of targeted capital replenishment for major State lenders.据财政部消息，用于向中央金融机构注资的五年期和七年期特别国债将于5月22日和6月12日发行。这标志着针对大型国有银行的第二轮定向资本补充正式启动。In this round, the ministry plans to issue 300 billion yuan ($43.92 billion) in special treasury bonds to bolster the banks' core tier 1 capital. The injection is expected to enhance credit expansion and underscores a more proactive fiscal policy stance.在本轮注资中，财政部计划发行3000亿元人民币（约合439.2亿美元）的特别国债，以充实银行的核心一级资本。此次注资有望促进信贷扩张，并体现出更加积极的财政政策立场。Last year, the ministry issued the first batch of special treasury bonds totaling 500 billion yuan to support the recapitalization of Bank of China, China Construction Bank, Bank of Communications and Postal Savings Bank of China. These four banks raised a combined total of 520 billion yuan, with their core tier 1 capital adequacy ratios increasing by 0.86,0.48, 1.28 and 1.51 percentage points, respectively.去年，财政部发行了首批5000亿元特别国债，用于支持中国银行、中国建设银行、交通银行和中国邮政储蓄银行的资本补充。这四家银行合计募集资金5200亿元，核心一级资本充足率分别提升了0.86、0.48、1.28和1.51个百分点。The market generally expects Industrial and Commercial Bank of China and Agricultural Bank of China to be the main recipients of the second round of capital injections.市场普遍预期，中国工商银行和中国农业银行将成为第二轮注资的主要对象。China International Capital Corp estimates that the 300 billion yuan injection could leverage roughly 4 trillion yuan in asset expansion, boosting the banks' direct lending and capacity for acquisitions, while strongly supporting the real economy and helping prevent financial risks. The move is expected to raise the two banks' core tier 1 capital adequacy ratios by about 0.6 percentage points on average, CICC said.中金公司预计，3000亿元注资有望撬动约4万亿元的资产扩张，增强银行的直接放贷能力和并购能力，同时有力支持实体经济并助力防范金融风险。中金公司表示，此举预计将使两家银行的核心一级资本充足率平均提升约0.6个百分点。According to the large State-owned commercial banks' first quarter reports of 2026, as of March 31, the core tier 1 capital adequacy ratios of ICBC, CCB, ABC, BOC, BOCOM and PSBC stood at 13.26 percent, 14.26 percent, 10.8 percent, 12.18 percent, 11.25 percent and 10.18 percent, respectively, all of which met regulatory requirements. Among them, ICBC and ABC saw declines of 0.63 and 0.43 percentage points from the end of the first quarter of 2025, while the other four banks recorded increases.六大国有银行2026年一季报显示，截至3月31日，工商银行、建设银行、农业银行、中国银行、交通银行、邮储银行的核心一级资本充足率分别为13.26%、14.26%、10.8%、12.18%、11.25%和10.18%，均满足监管要求。其中，工商银行和农业银行较2025年一季度末分别下降0.63和0.43个百分点，其余四家银行则有所上升。Zeng Gang, chief expert and director of the Shanghai Institution for Finance and Development, said the core objective of this round of capital injection is to enhance the long-term sustainable development capacity of large State-owned commercial banks. The move will significantly expand their lending capacity through leverage effects and provide ample support for pro-growth policies.上海金融与发展实验室主任、首席专家曾刚表示，本轮注资的核心目标是增强大型国有商业银行的长期可持续发展能力。此举将通过杠杆效应显著扩大银行的放贷能力，为稳增长政策提供有力支持。Wang Qing, chief macroeconomic analyst at Orient Golden Credit Rating International, said that amid adjustments in the real estate market and continued interest rate cuts by China's central bank, net interest margins of commercial banks, especially large State-owned lenders, have narrowed rapidly since 2023. This has weakened their ability to replenish capital through retained earnings, making external capital injections necessary to underpin stable operations.东方金诚国际信用评估有限公司首席宏观分析师王青表示，在房地产市场调整和央行持续降息的背景下，商业银行尤其是大型国有银行的净息差自2023年以来迅速收窄。这削弱了银行通过留存收益补充资本的能力，需要通过外部注资来支撑其稳健经营。Wang estimates that a combined capital injection of 800 billion yuan could underpin 6 trillion to 7 trillion yuan in new lending — equivalent to about 37 to 43 percent of China's new yuan loans in 2025.王青预计，合计8000亿元的资本注入可撬动6万亿至7万亿元的新增贷款，相当于中国2025年新增人民币贷款的约37%至43%。He said the move would bolster the banks' capacity to absorb risks and strengthen the long-term resilience of the financial system. The resulting increase in lending capacity would also reinforce the role of large banks as the mainstay of financing for the real economy, particularly by channeling more funds into key national strategies, technological innovation, small and micro enterprises, and other priority or weak sectors of the economy.他表示，此举将增强银行的风险吸收能力，强化金融体系的长期韧性。随之而来的放贷能力提升，将进一步巩固大型银行作为实体经济融资主渠道的作用，特别是引导更多资金流向国家重大战略、科技创新、小微企业以及其他重点领域和薄弱环节。The measure also highlights stronger coordination between fiscal and monetary policies, signaling a more proactive fiscal stance while laying the groundwork for further monetary easing, Wang added.王青还表示，此次注资还凸显了财政政策与货币政策之间更强的协调性，在为进一步货币宽松奠定基础的同时，释放出更加积极的财政政策信号。roll out /rəʊl aʊt/推出，实施capital injection /ˈkæpɪtəl ɪnˈdʒekʃən/注资net interest margins /net ˈɪntrəst ˈmɑːdʒɪnz/净息差underpin /ˌʌndəˈpɪn/支撑，撬动equivalent to /ɪˈkwɪvələnt tuː/相当于mainstay /ˈmeɪnsteɪ/主体，中流砥柱channeling /ˈtʃænəlɪŋ/引导，输送

“What is your one thing?” Not the church answer. Not the leadership answer. The real one. Patrick opens up about the “one things” that quietly take God's place—power, approval, comfort, image, control, achievement, even helping—and how each one has shaped his leadership at CCB and his life at home. Through honest stories, spiritual conviction, and a season of deep surrender, he reveals how God has been dismantling self‑reliance and rebuilding trust. You'll hear how recent leadership storms pushed him to the edge, how God whispered “Trust Me” when clarity felt out of reach, and why surrender isn't weakness… it's freedom. If you've been gripping too tightly, planning too compulsively, or carrying weight you were never meant to hold, this episode will meet you right where you are. Your one thing is shaping your life—whether you admit it or not. This conversation will help you name it… release it… and let the Spirit lead.

In this episode of the ONEder Podcast, CCB sits down with Julie Maggos from Interior Architects' AIRIA team to unpack what it looks like to use AI as a real design partner—without losing the human edge. They uncover where AI is already helping (faster ideation, smoother workflow, stronger client collaboration), where humans must stay firmly in the driver's seat (vision, judgment, empathy), and how to adopt these tools responsibly. If you're curious what's hype, what's working, and what's next with AI in design, this one's for you.

What if breathwork wasn't something you did but a journey you entered?In this episode, Dianne invites you into the ancient, feminine art of sensual breathwork — a gentle yet powerful way to shift states, soften the nervous system, and come home to the body.We explore conscious connected breathing (CCB), where the inhale flows seamlessly into the exhale like a wave, guiding you out of the thinking mind and into deeper, more intuitive states of awareness. Not through force or catharsis, but through presence, rhythm, and safety.You'll learn why nasal breathing is so supportive for the nervous system, encouraging diaphragmatic breath, coherence, and the cultivation of nitric oxide, sometimes called the “miracle molecule” , which helps signal relaxation, circulation, vitality and ease in the body.We also explore sensuality as sacred technology, with a special focus on scent. Aromatherapy has been used for thousands of years in women's spiritual practices, including in Goddess cultures like ancient Crete, where aromatic oils were ritual allies for devotion, embodiment, and altered states.Scent bypasses the thinking mind and speaks directly to pleasure, memory, and intuition. When paired with breath, it becomes a powerful portal into the sacred feminine.✨ In this episode, you'll experience:Why conscious connected breath gently shifts states of awarenessThe power of nasal breathing for nervous system regulationHow scent activates sensuality, intuition, and pleasureA 5 minute guided Sensual Breath practice to help you soften, descend, and journey inwardAn invitation to explore what brings you into a swoon Altered states don't require effort, force or even plant medicine. They require permission & presence.Choose a scent you love, press play and let your breath lead you home.Let's dive in!Dive deeper:Join us in the Vital Goddess Mastery program Spring 2026 hereExplore the Taste of the Temple offer here

This week on the show Kathryn and Kristi are chatting with French cyclist, Cécile Lejeune. Cécile grew up in the suburbs of Paris, and got her start in endurance sport in triathlon at age 12. She had quick success in the sport winning national titles in both triathlon and running. This success earned her a running scholarship at Arizona State University. But behind the scenes Cécile was struggling with an eating disorder and battling RED-S, and just one month into her collegiate running career she suffered a stress fracture that ultimately led to her being medically retired from running by the team doctors as ASU. Cécile speaks openly about her struggles with her eating disorder and RED-S, and how she has worked her way back to a more healthy view of fueling and training. She also tells us how leaving running allowed her to find her way into cycling and pursue the sport professionally. After a stint on some UCI road teams in Europe, Cécile moved back to the US and is now part of team CCB. This is her first year in the Life Time Grand Prix, and she is currently in 5th in the overall standings.Follow Cécile on Instagram @cecilejeuneRegister for our 2026 Gravel Camp and Bike Mechanic School: https://feisty.co/events/gravel-camp-x-bike-mechanic-school/ Follow us on Instagram:@feistycycling @feisty_media Girls Gone Gravel Website:https://www.girlsgonegravel.com/ Support our Partners:Previnex: Get 15% off your first order with code GIRLSGONEGRAVEL at https://www.previnex.com/

In this episode I help you understand what to expect in a CCB session. I explain what conscious connected breathwork is and isn't.    I did my training with Pat Divilly on Journey The Breath  

Hi there! Feel free to drop us a text if you enjoy the episode.In this episode of the New England Endurance Podcast, we sit down with Tim Mitchell, Technical Director of the legendary CCB Cycling Education Foundation. With roots dating back to 1960s England and an official U.S. presence since 1976, CCB is the longest-running elite cycling program in the country. But it's more than just race results—it's a movement centered on Education Through Athletics.Tim shares the deeply human story behind CCB's evolution—from its historic origins with and notable alumni (like Tim Johnson, Tyler Hamilton, and Curtis White), to its legendary manager Steve Pucci, to its groundbreaking under-23 women's program where every rider is required to pursue post-secondary education.We hear how CCB pivoted from elite men's racing to meet the glaring need in women's development pathways, and how the tragic loss of rider Chad Young galvanized the team's educational mission. From national titles to Pan-Am victories, from jump rope champions to former Olympians, this team's stories are anything but ordinary.We also dive into the current state of New England racing, the importance of community, and the joys of unplugging from data to rediscover the pure ride. Whether you're an aspiring racer, a longtime cycling fan, or just someone who believes in sports that build character, this conversation with Tim will leave you inspired.

This week on the show Kathryn and Kristi are chatting with French cyclist, Cécile Lejeune. Cécile grew up in the suburbs of Paris, and got her start in endurance sport in triathlon at age 12. She had quick success in the sport winning national titles in both triathlon and running. This success earned her a running scholarship at Arizona State University. But behind the scenes Cécile was struggling with an eating disorder and battling RED-S, and just one month into her collegiate running career she suffered a stress fracture that ultimately led to her being medically retired from running by the team doctors as ASU. Cécile speaks openly about her struggles with her eating disorder and RED-S, and how she has worked her way back to a more healthy view of fueling and training. She also tells us how leaving running allowed her to find her way into cycling and pursue the sport professionally. After a stint on some UCI road teams in Europe, Cécile moved back to the US and is now part of team CCB. This is her first year in the Life Time Grand Prix, and she is currently in 5th in the overall standings.Follow Cécile on Instagram @cecilejeuneFollow us on Instagram:@girlsgonegravel @feisty_media Girls Gone Gravel Website:https://www.girlsgonegravel.com/ Feisty Media Website:https://livefeisty.com/ Support our Partners:Previnex: Get 15% off your first order with code GIRLSGONEGRAVEL at https://www.previnex.com/ Feisty's Lift Heavy Guide: Get your guide to lifting heavy plus a 4-week training plan at https://www.womensperformance.com/lift-heavy

In this case, the court considered this issue: Does a state violate the First Amendment's religion clauses by denying a religious organization an otherwise-available tax exemption because the organization does not meet the state's criteria for religious behavior?The case was decided on June 5, 2025. In a unanimous decision on June 5, 2025, the U.S. Supreme Court ruled in Catholic Charities Bureau, Inc. v Wisconsin Labor and Industry Review Commission, affirming that the Catholic Charities Bureau (CCB) is entitled to an exemption from Wisconsin's unemployment insurance tax. The Court held that the state's refusal to grant this exemption violated the First Amendment by discriminating against religious organizations that do not engage in overt religious activities.Justice Sonia Sotomayor authored the opinion, emphasizing that Wisconsin's approach improperly favored organizations that proselytize or serve only co-religionists, thereby violating the principle of government neutrality in religious matters. The Court noted that CCB's mission, while providing secular services such as housing and job training, is rooted in Catholic teachings and operates under the auspices of the Catholic Diocese of Superior. The decision underscores that religious organizations cannot be denied exemptions based solely on the secular nature of their services.This ruling aligns with the Court's broader trend of expanding religious liberties and may have implications for other religiously affiliated organizations seeking similar exemptions.The opinion is presented here in its entirety, but with citations omitted.

O cantor e compositor Alceu Valença deu início à sua turnê europeia com o espetáculo "Valencianas". Ele recebeu a RFI em sua casa, em Lisboa, cidade que considera um segundo lar, antes de embarcar para Paris, onde se apresenta neste sábado (1°). Luciana Quaresma, correspondente da RFI em Lisboa"Lisboa sempre me recebe com um carinho especial, e a energia do público português é incomparável. Adoro caminhar de madrugada pelas ruas do bairro do Castelo de São Jorge, pelo Bairro Alto, com suas ruas estreitas e vibrante vida noturna", descreve Alceu Valença. "Adoro passear pelas margens do Tejo, pelos Sapadores e tomar um café no Dali”, comenta o cantor, que faz questão de sentir a essência musical que permeia a capital portuguesa que serve de inspiração para o artista.O espetáculo "Valencianas" não é apenas uma reapresentação de seus sucessos, mas um projeto ambicioso que busca reinterpretar essas canções atemporais com arranjos orquestrais que ressaltam a riqueza da obra de Alceu. “Estamos trazendo uma nova roupagem para temas que o público já conhece e ama, ampliando as texturas e emoções através da orquestra”, comenta, em referência à colaboração com a Orquestra Ouro Preto.Ele ressalta a emoção de se apresentar ao lado da formação, enfatizando a importância dessa colaboração para trazer uma nova interpretação de seus clássicos. "Estou animado para compartilhar com o público essa fusão entre a música popular brasileira e o rico som da orquestra, criando uma experiência única que eu espero que toque o coração de todos".Os shows em terras lusitanas acontecem nos dias 8 e 9 de fevereiro, na Casa da Música, no Porto, e no Centro Cultural de Belém (CCB), em Lisboa. Antes disso, ele se apresenta na Sala Pleyel, em Paris, em 1° de fevereiro, segue para Utrecht, na Holanda (dia 3), Barcelona, na Espanha (dia 4) e Berlim, na Alemanha (dia 6).Parceria duradoura com a Orquestra Ouro PretoA colaboração entre Alceu Valença e a Orquestra Ouro Preto já dura mais de uma década e resulta em interpretações memoráveis que conquistam palcos no Brasil e no exterior. A orquestra é formada por trinta músicos e consolida sua reputação como uma das mais respeitadas do cenário musical brasileiro. Sob a direção do maestro Rodrigo Toffolo, a formação é reconhecida pela versatilidade e inovação com projetos como “Valencianas”, que contribuem para atrair novos públicos para este universo. "Valencianas é um projeto que une o sertão e o agreste do Brasil à música de concerto. É uma forma de mostrar que esses gêneros podem dialogar e se enriquecer mutuamente", afirma Toffolo.O maestro elogia a ousadia de Alceu ao explorar novas sonoridades e a importância cultural do artista no cenário musical contemporâneo, destacando que suas composições têm uma contemporaneidade que cativa não apenas fãs, mas também novos ouvintes. “Ele consegue transcender fronteiras e épocas, e essa capacidade nos impulsiona a explorar arranjos que destaquem as nuances emocionais de suas canções”, diz.Para ele, a união de elementos clássicos com ritmos regionais cria uma experiência única que ressoa com o público de diversas maneiras. “É um diálogo que revela a riqueza cultural brasileira e como esses gêneros podem se interconectar”, afirma o maestro. “Trabalhar com Alceu é uma oportunidade extraordinária, pois sua música é uma expressão genuína da cultura brasileira”.Os arranjos orquestrais desempenham um papel crucial no espetáculo. “Buscamos manter a essência das obras de Alceu, mas, ao mesmo tempo, queremos expandir suas texturas através da orquestração”. As adaptações visam revisitar uma nova dimensão emocional, criando um ambiente sonoro que eleva a experiência do público.Com a turnê europeia prestes a começar, a expectativa é alta. “Portugal, em especial, tem uma ligação muito forte com a nossa música e com Alceu", conta Toffolo. As atuações em cidades como Porto e Lisboa, além de outros palcos europeus, devem proporcionar momentos memoráveis, reforçando a tradição da música brasileira no exterior.Com uma carreira de mais de cinquenta anos, Alceu Valença se destaca como um dos mais autênticos e inovadores artistas da sua geração. Reconhecido por sua habilidade em misturar diferentes estilos musicais, ele vê nas turnês internacionais uma oportunidade de se conectar com uma audiência global. “É sempre uma alegria levar minha música para fora do Brasil, especialmente em lugares como Portugal, que considero meu segundo lar pela afinidade com Lisboa, que me comoveu desde a primeira vez que estive aqui, e o carinho que recebo do público”, revela Valença que se divide entre Olinda, Lisboa e Rio de Janeiro.Um repertório que promete emoção "Valencianas" oferece uma imersão nas canções que definem a carreira de Alceu Valença. Além de sucessos como "Eu Vou Fazer Você Voar", “Belle de Jour”, “Tropicana”, “Coração Bobo”, “Girassol”, “Cavalo de Pau”, "Solidão" e o imortal "Anunciação", revisitados sob a luz da orquestra, o repertório inclui também temas criados pelo próprio Alceu e a suíte Valencianas, composta por Mateus Freire a partir de diversas referências do universo do cantor.O concerto reúne temas dos dois álbuns, ao vivo, que formam a essência do projeto: Valencianas I, gravado em Belo Horizonte em 2014 e vencedor do Prêmio da Música Brasileira, e Valencianas II, gravado na Casa da Música, no Porto, em Portugal, em 2020."Quem assistir 'Valencianas' vai entender a musicalidade brasileira no seu esplendor", descreve o maestro. "A poesia do Alceu emociona a gente até nas músicas mais conhecidas como 'Anunciação'. É algo assim que só o Alceu poderia pensar: "a bruma leve das paixões que vem de dentro"... Que coisa linda, que poesia linda, uma música extraordinária! Eu fico ali regendo ao lado dele e aproveitando muito para sair um músico melhor do que entrei em cada concerto com Alceu!”, diz Toffolo.“Esperamos que o público não apenas escute, mas sinta a energia das canções. Queremos provocar emoções e abrir espaço para que cada um possa vivenciar a música de maneira única”, diz o maestro. “Este espetáculo é um convite para redescobrir a música brasileira sob uma nova luz. É uma celebração das nossas raízes, unindo diferentes gerações através da arte”, finaliza.

This Day in Legal History: Cuba Suspended from OASOn January 22, 1962, the Organization of American States (OAS) took the historic step of suspending Cuba from its membership. This decision followed the Cuban Revolution, which saw Fidel Castro's government align itself with communist ideologies and the Soviet Union, marking a stark departure from the democratic and anti-communist principles upheld by the OAS. The suspension, supported by 14 member states against six dissenting votes, highlighted Cold War tensions and the fear of communist influence spreading across the Americas. It marked the first time the OAS had taken such a measure against a member nation, emphasizing the geopolitical divide between the United States and Soviet-aligned nations.The resolution to suspend Cuba was rooted in Article 8 of the OAS Charter, which mandated respect for representative democracy as a condition of membership. Cuba's embrace of communism and its growing ties with the USSR, particularly during events like the Bay of Pigs invasion and the Cuban Missile Crisis, deepened the rift with its neighbors. The suspension effectively isolated Cuba from multilateral political cooperation within the Americas but did little to curtail its growing influence among leftist movements globally.Efforts to reintegrate Cuba into the OAS came decades later. On June 3, 2009, the OAS voted to lift the suspension, acknowledging changing political landscapes and calls for normalization. However, Cuba immediately rejected the offer, citing its disinterest in rejoining the organization. The Cuban government viewed the OAS as a tool of U.S. hegemony and incompatible with its principles. The 1962 suspension remains a critical moment in the history of inter-American relations, illustrating the enduring complexities of ideology and diplomacy during the Cold War.Twenty-two Democratic-led states, the District of Columbia, and San Francisco filed lawsuits challenging President Donald Trump's executive order eliminating birthright citizenship for children born in the U.S. to parents who are neither U.S. citizens nor lawful permanent residents. The lawsuits, filed in federal courts in Boston, Seattle, and Maryland, argue that the order violates the Citizenship Clause of the 14th Amendment, which guarantees citizenship to all individuals born in the United States and subject to its jurisdiction.The lawsuits emphasize the constitutional foundation of birthright citizenship, citing the U.S. Supreme Court's landmark decision in United States v. Wong Kim Ark (1898), which upheld citizenship rights for children born on U.S. soil to non-citizen parents. Plaintiffs assert that Trump's order represents an unconstitutional overreach of presidential authority and an attempt to bypass established constitutional and legal principles.If implemented, the order would leave over 150,000 children born annually without citizenship, rendering them stateless and depriving them of rights such as voting, working lawfully, and accessing federal benefits like Medicaid. States also face increased financial and administrative burdens, including the loss of federal funding for healthcare and education programs that are tied to citizenship status.Among the plaintiffs are civil rights groups, immigrant advocacy organizations, and an expectant mother with temporary protected status. The lawsuits seek declaratory and injunctive relief, aiming to prevent the enforcement of what they call a flagrantly unconstitutional policy. Early hearings on temporary restraining orders are scheduled in some jurisdictions, marking this as one of the first major legal battles of Trump's administration​.22 Democratic-led states sue over Trump's birthright citizenship order | ReutersPresident Donald Trump's executive order delaying enforcement of a bipartisan law banning TikTok has plunged the platform into legal uncertainty. The law, passed with overwhelming support in Congress and signed by President Joe Biden, required TikTok's Chinese parent company, ByteDance, to divest the platform by January 19. It also imposed heavy penalties—$5,000 per user—on service providers like Apple and Google for noncompliance.Trump's order pauses enforcement for 75 days and directs the Justice Department to assure service providers that they won't face liability during this period. However, legal experts argue the order offers limited assurance. Executive orders cannot override duly enacted laws, and courts generally do not view such directives as binding. Moreover, the president retains the authority to alter the order or enforce the law selectively, adding to the uncertainty.This action marks a rare instance of a president attempting to circumvent a law passed by both houses of Congress and upheld by the Supreme Court. Legal analysts note that while Congress could sue to enforce the law, courts might dismiss such a case as a political question or national security issue. Meanwhile, service providers are exposed to billions in potential penalties and shareholder lawsuits if they defy the law based on Trump's directive.Despite the pause, TikTok remains unavailable on major U.S. app stores, reflecting the precarious legal and financial risks for service providers caught between compliance with federal law and Trump's temporary reprieve. This legal limbo underscores tensions between the executive branch, Congress, and the tech industry over the regulation of foreign-owned platforms.Trump executive order leaves TikTok in legal limbo, for now | ReutersPresident Donald Trump issued an executive order revoking the authority of the Department of Labor's Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs (OFCCP) to enforce diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) initiatives among federal contractors. The OFCCP, which oversees compliance with anti-discrimination laws for companies receiving federal funds, had required contractors to develop affirmative action programs and address workforce disparities based on gender, race, and other protected characteristics.Trump's order mandates the OFCCP immediately stop promoting affirmative action or workforce diversity measures. It also requires contractors to certify within 90 days that they are not implementing DEI programs deemed discriminatory under federal civil rights law. Additionally, the order redefines DEI initiatives as a potential form of illegal discrimination and encourages private companies to abandon such programs.The president's actions rescinded Executive Order 11246, a landmark 1965 order that established the OFCCP's affirmative action enforcement framework. Trump also repealed EO 13672, which protected federal contractor employees from discrimination based on sexual orientation and gender identity—protections that were later recognized by the U.S. Supreme Court under Title VII.This move is part of Trump's broader rollback of DEI policies, including prior executive orders eliminating diversity programs in federal agencies and restricting the legal definition of gender. Critics argue these changes undermine civil rights protections, while supporters claim they prevent reverse discrimination. The order creates significant uncertainty for federal contractors navigating compliance and DEI program implementation.Trump Guts Contractor Watchdog's Anti-Discrimination Power (1)In my column for Bloomberg this week, a discussion of religious exemptions for unemployment taxes.The U.S. Supreme Court is poised to address a pivotal question of tax policy and religious exemptions in a case involving Catholic Charities Bureau (CCB). The organization, affiliated with the Catholic Church, argues it should be exempt from paying unemployment taxes because of its religious connection, despite providing social services that are fundamentally secular, such as job placement for individuals with disabilities and daily living assistance. This case raises concerns about fairness in the nonprofit sector. Granting CCB a tax exemption would create an uneven playing field, where secular organizations performing identical services face higher tax burdens. Such an outcome risks distorting the marketplace of charitable organizations and undermines the principle of equal obligations for entities engaging in similar work. The implications extend far beyond this case. A ruling in favor of CCB could incentivize other religiously affiliated organizations to seek similar exemptions, potentially leading to widespread abuse of the tax system. Hospitals, schools, and social service agencies with religious ties might claim exemptions for services indistinguishable from those provided by secular counterparts, further eroding tax equity and integrity.The core of the issue lies in the distinction between genuinely religious activities and secular services provided under religious affiliation. Exempting organizations like CCB shifts the financial burden of public goods, such as unemployment insurance, onto other employers, including secular nonprofits, weakening their ability to serve the public effectively. Additionally, it blurs the boundary between secular and religious activities, making tax exemptions a potential tool for avoidance rather than a recognition of genuine religious exercise.This case also highlights the challenge of determining what qualifies for a religious exemption. While proponents argue that no organization should have to prove its religiosity, some oversight is necessary to prevent abuse and maintain fairness. Without such standards, exemptions could devolve into unchecked privileges for organizations with tenuous religious affiliations.Ultimately, the Court must balance respecting religious liberty with upholding public responsibilities. Preserving the Wisconsin Supreme Court's ruling against CCB would protect the integrity of the tax system, ensure fairness among nonprofits, and maintain a clear distinction between secular and religious activities while reinforcing the shared obligations of all public-serving entities.Supreme Court Must Ensure All Charities Get Fair Treatment This is a public episode.

Episode 174: GERD in AdultsCommon and atypical symptoms are presented. Pathophysiology, diagnosis, and management are discussed. H. pylori's role is discussed during this episode. Written by Jacquelyn Garcia MS4 Ross University School of Medicine.

It's a common physiological process that happens to many people, especially after meals. Occurs less than twice a week. Associated with mild and temporary symptoms such as heartburn or regurgitation. Gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD): a chronic and more severe form of GER. It occurs when acid reflux happens frequently, typically more than twice a week, and/or causes esophageal injury/complications. -Non-erosive reflux disease (NERD)= GER without evidence of esophageal injury on endoscopy. -Erosive reflux disease (ERD)= GER with evidence of esophageal injury on endoscopy.AFP Journal, January 2024: “Nonerosive GERD does not increase the likelihood of esophageal cancer. However, erosive GERD is associated with a doubled, but still low, risk of developing cancer, with the likelihood increasing over time.”Pathophysiology:The main pathophysiology behind GERD is lower esophageal sphincter (LES) dysfunction which can occur due to the following:-LES Pressure: The LES is a muscular ring at the junction of the esophagus and stomach. It normally maintains a high-pressure zone to prevent reflux. In GERD, the intragastric pressure is higher than the pressure created by the LES. The tone of the LES can be reduced by caffeine, nitroglycerin, and scleroderma. -Transient LES Relaxations (TLESRs): These are normal relaxations of the LES that occur independently of swallowing. In GERD, these relaxations are more frequent or prolonged, allowing acid to reflux into the esophagus.-Anatomic abnormalities: A hiatal hernia occurs when a portion of the stomach protrudes through the diaphragm into the chest cavity. This disrupts the normal anatomy of the gastroesophageal junction, reducing the pressure barrier and promoting reflux.Epidemiology: It affects 10-20% of adults in Western cultures and less than 5% in Asia. Prevalence in the US ranges from 18.1% to 27.8% with a slightly higher rate in men. Risk factors: -Obesity, pregnancy, scleroderma, hiatal hernia; smoking, caffeine, alcohol, stress, fatty/fried/spicy foods. Spicy foods can be a challenge in some cultures (e.g. Mexican and Indian.) Sometimes, patients may ask for “something” to stop GERD but all they may need is dietary modification. -Medications: -aspirin, ibuprofen, clindamycin, tetracycline, bisphosphonates (irritate the esophagus and cause heartburn pain similar to GERD) -anticholinergics, TCA's, CCB's, ACEi, statins, benzodiazepines, theophylline, opioids, progesterone (increase acid reflux and worsen GERD)Clinical features: Typical symptoms: -heartburn (burning retrosternal pain) -regurgitation (acidic stomach contents)Atypical symptoms: -chest pain (can mimic angina pectoris, squeezing/burning substernal, radiates to back/neck/jaw/arm) -water brash (hypersalivation)-globus sensation (lump in throat)-nausea -belching-bloating Alarm features in GERD: -dysphagia-odynophagia (pain with swallowing)-new onset of dyspepsia in ≥60yo -weight loss-GI bleeding-vomiting-anemia Diagnosis: -There is no gold standard test -Patient with typical symptoms: diagnosis can be based on clinical symptoms alone -Patient with atypical symptoms: these symptoms can be seen in GERD but are not sufficient for diagnosis of GERD in the absence of typical symptoms. Need to rule out other disorders before associating the symptoms with GERD. (ex: chest pain r/o other causes such as MI with ECG) -Patient with alarm features: refer to GI for upper GI endoscopy. Complications: -Esophagitis: Erosive reflux disease (ERD) = GER with evidence of esophageal distal injury on endoscopy; in untreated GERD 30% have esophagitis. -Iron deficiency anemia: due to mucosal ulcerations -> chronic bleeding.-Esophageal stricture: narrowing near GE junction, solid food dysphagia.-Barrett Esophagus: intestinal metaplasia of esophagus due to chronic GERD (stratified squamous epithelium replaced by columnar epithelium)-Risk factors: GERD for 5-10 years, >50yo, males, obesity, Caucasian, Tobacco use, family history                 -Predisposes to esophageal adenocarcinoma Role of H. pylori.Sometimes we tend to think that H. pylori is the cause of GERD. “H. pylori infection appears to protect the esophagus from gastroesophageal reflux disease, Barrett's esophagus, dysplasia in Barrett's esophagus, and esophageal adenocarcinoma, perhaps by causing chronic gastritis that interferes with acid production.”It is unclear whether long-term use of PPIs heightens the risk of atrophic gastritis in patients with H. pylori. Consequently, routine screening for H. pylori infection and empiric eradication of H. pylori are NOT advised for patients with GERD. However, if H. pylori is diagnosed in the setting of GERD, eradication of H. pylori has been associated with an improvement of symptoms in patients with antral-predominant gastritis. Treatment: Two categories: Mild/intermittent symptoms (
