In 1997, Anaconda slithered into cinemas with a shocking secret: every second of computer-generated snake footage cost $100,000 to create. This wasn't just another creature feature—it was Sony Pictures Imageworks' first fully computer-animated character and a technical nightmare that pushed both digital and practical effects to their limits.To mitigate that cost, and to the benefit of this movie, they decided to rely heavily on practical animatronic snakes. The real hero of this movie was Walt Conti, whose company Edge Innovations faced an impossible challenge: creating two colossal animatronic snakes that could actually swim. Drawing on his experience with aquatic mammals, like the whales of Free Willy, Conti engineered a waterproof marvel requiring ten puppeteers to operate, with pre-programmed movements.The legacy of Anaconda extends far beyond its box office success and Jon Voight's memorably unhinged performance. This film helped launch Jennifer Lopez's movie career and established the template for "so bad it's good" cinema. But is it really "so bad it's good"? Or is just actually one of the greatest creature features of the 90s?I would love to hear your thoughts on Anaconda (1997) !Verbal Diorama is now an award-winning podcast!

Alors que la 3è conférence des Nations unies sur l'Océan se tient à Nice du 9 au 13 juin 2025, il faut plus que jamais écouter, réécouter cette grande voix des océans qu'était Anita Conti. Née à l'aube du XXè siècle, cette pionnière de l'océanographie moderne, également photographe, vidéaste et écrivaine française, a sillonné les mers du monde en quête de sciences, d'images, de mots et surtout d'horizons. Et suivre le sillage d'Anita Conti, c'est instantanément sentir un vent de liberté souffler, charriant avec lui les mots « avant-garde », « poésie » ou « engagement », mêlés aux intonations enjouées, à jamais gravées dans les archives radiophoniques françaises, de celle que l'on surnommait la Dame de la mer. Anita Conti, née Caracotchian, a donc traversé son siècle avec une détermination sans faille, seule femme à bord des bateaux de pêche, que ce soit des chalutiers terre-neuvas dans l'Atlantique Nord ou des pirogues des mers chaudes, pendant ses dix années passées en Afrique de l'Ouest. Tour à tour relieuse d'art, journaliste, scientifique, résistante engagée sur les démineurs en 1939, écrivaine, lanceuse d'alerte sur les dégâts de la surpêche industrielle ou précurseure notamment de l'aquaculture, Anita Conti a inspiré des générations d'enfants de la mer.À ceux qui lui demandaient si elle était un garçon manqué, Anita Conti répondait : « Non, je suis une femme réussie ! » ; une femme qui jusqu'à son dernier souffle, en 1997, à l'âge de 98 ans, va s'attacher à donner une voix aux océans et à ceux qui les peuplent et en vivent… Un reportage de Céline Develay-Mazurelle et Laure Allary, initialement diffusé en février 2025.

Il podcast, registrato a Cagliari durante il convegno accreditato per avvocati, esplora le principali questioni giuridiche e operative legate alla gestione delle società partecipate e in house pubbliche. Il podcast registrato durante il convegno “La disciplina delle società partecipate e delle società in house”, tenutosi presso la Sala Anfiteatro della RAS in Via Roma a Cagliari, raccoglie contenuti di grande interesse per chi si occupa di diritto pubblico, pubblica amministrazione e governo societario. L'iniziativa, accreditata dal Consiglio dell'Ordine degli Avvocati di Cagliari con 3 crediti formativi, ha offerto una panoramica aggiornata sulle criticità normative, le responsabilità penali e gli sviluppi giurisprudenziali relativi alla gestione delle società pubbliche. Il podcast documenta fedelmente i contributi di relatori autorevoli, tra cui il Sostituto Procuratore della Repubblica Andrea Vacca, che ha introdotto spunti critici sulle recenti riforme in materia di delitti dei pubblici ufficiali, e il prof. avv. Enrico Maria Mastinu, che ha trattato il tema del rapporto di lavoro nelle società pubbliche. L'evento ha visto anche la partecipazione di rappresentanti istituzionali, come l'avv. Carlo Andrea Arba (Presidente Confservizi-CISPEL Sardegna), e di esponenti dell'avvocatura e del mondo accademico. Diritto, governance e prassi operative nelle società partecipate Uno dei passaggi più rilevanti del podcast riguarda l'approfondimento del divieto di cumulo delle indennità e delle incompatibilità degli amministratori, illustrato dall'avv. Mattia Pani. A questo si è aggiunto l'intervento dell'avv. Matteo Pinna, che ha delineato le condizioni di responsabilità penale dei dipendenti pubblici e degli organi gestionali delle società partecipate. Particolarmente apprezzato il focus della dott.ssa Antonella Marcello, segretario generale del Comune di Cagliari, sull'importanza del controllo analogo, strumento essenziale per garantire la legalità e l'efficienza delle società in house. Il dott. Carlo Sanna ha poi trattato con taglio tecnico la costituzione di una società partecipata e il relativo controllo della Corte dei Conti, offrendo esempi concreti e spunti metodologici per i professionisti del settore. L'ultima parte del podcast è dedicata a esperienze operative raccontate da protagonisti del tessuto imprenditoriale sardo come Emanuele Lilliu (Fondazione Barumini), Giuseppe Sardu (Abbanoa Spa) e Fabrizio Rodin (CTM Spa), che hanno condiviso buone pratiche e modelli di gestione virtuosa nel panorama delle società pubbliche regionali. Un volume per orientarsi tra norme, riforme e applicazioni pratiche L'evento è stato anche l'occasione per presentare il libro “La disciplina delle società partecipate e delle società in house”, curato dagli avvocati Mattia Pani e Carlo Sanna. Il volume, pensato per gli operatori delle aziende pubbliche ma utile anche per studenti, amministratori e studiosi del diritto, propone una guida aggiornata e accessibile alle norme e alle prassi applicative in ma

We are releasing today on our podcast show a repurposed webinar which we produced on May 13, 2025 entitled “What is happening at the federal agencies (other than the CFPB) that is relevant to the consumer financial services industry.” During this podcast, we will inform you about recent developments at those other agencies, including the FTC, OCC, FDIC, FRB and DOJ (collectively, the “Agencies”) and the White House (through the issuance of Executive Orders). Some of the issues we consider are: • What are the strategic priorities of the Agencies, including cryptocurrency (OCC, FRB and DOJ); reducing regulatory burden, promoting financial inclusion, embracing bank-fintech partnerships and expanding responsible bank activities involving digital assets (OCC); adopt a more open-minded approach to innovation and technology adoption (FDIC); public inquiry into anti-competitive regulations (FTC and DOJ); and regulation of AI technology, boosting protections for children and teens online and strengthening enforcement against companies that sell, transfer, or disclose Americans' geolocation information and other sensitive data to foreign adversaries, more emphasis on antitrust enforcement and less on consumer protection (FTC). • What is the status of proposed or final regulations of the Agencies? (e.g., FTC CARS Rule, Click-to-Cancel Rule, Junk Fees Rule, and Rule banning Noncompetes; FDIC advertisement and brokered-deposit rules, OCC rule on bank mergers; and the Community Reinvestment Act final rule)? • What is the status of enforcement investigations and litigation of the Agencies? • What impact will staff cuts have on supervisory examinations? • What is the impact of President Trump's executive order requiring the Agencies to obtain approval from the White House of all proposed and final regulations? • Will the Supreme Court approve of President Donald Trump's firing of the Democratic members of the FTC and NCUA and other federal agencies (who have subsequently sued Trump to challenge the firings) and, if so, what are its implications? • What is the significance of the FDIC and OCC agreeing to eliminate “reputation risk” as a basis for evaluating risks to banks? • Will the OCC adopt a regulation or other guidance, or will Congress enact legislation pertaining to debanking/fair access? • Will the OCC and/or FDIC issue any guidance or regulations pertaining to federal preemption of state law in light of the Supreme Court's opinion last term in Cantero and the impending Courts of Appeal decisions in Cantero, Kivett and Conti? • What is the significance of the FDIC withdrawing its amicus brief in support of the Colorado Attorney General in the 10th Circuit in the lawsuit brought by industry against him challenging a Colorado statute which purported to opt out of Section 521 of DIDMCA? • Will there continue to be fair lending and disparate impact enforcement at any of the Agencies? Alan Kaplinsky, former chair and now senior counsel of Ballard Spahr's Consumer Financial Services Group, moderated the presentations of the following other members of the Consumer Financial Services Group: Scott Coleman, Ronald Vaske and Kristen Larson.

La Corte dei Conti ha evidenziato che i settori in ritardo, come la sanità, dovranno accelerare la spesa in modo significativo per rispettare le scadenze del PNRR. L'Italia è l'unico Paese ad aver chiesto cinque modifiche al piano. La nuova proposta di rimodulazione presentata dal ministro Foti riguarda 170 target e milestone, pari al 48% delle scadenze residue. Il governo spera in un via libera della Commissione europea entro fine giugno, ma è già prevista un'ulteriore revisione entro il 2026. Le modifiche riguardano soprattutto gli investimenti ferroviari e puntano a spostare su fondi nazionali le opere che non si completeranno in tempo. Interviene Luca Dal Poggetto analista di Open Polis esperto di PNRR. insieme a Manuela Perrone, Il Sole 24 OreMutui per la casa meno cari nel 2024, ma in rialzo nel 2025Nel 2024 i mutui per l'acquisto di abitazioni in Italia sono cresciuti (+4,6% sul 2023), con un capitale erogato salito a oltre 38 miliardi di euro (+8,1%). Il tasso medio iniziale si è abbassato al 3,6%. Tuttavia, nel 2025 i tassi sono tornati a salire: ad aprile il tasso medio è salito al 3,29%, il massimo da settembre 2024, segnalando un'inversione di tendenza nonostante il taglio dei tassi da parte della BCE. Ne parliamo con Roberto Anedda Senior analyst di Nomisma.Volatilità sui Treasury americani e futuro economico USADopo l'annuncio di nuovi dazi da parte di Trump il 2 aprile, i rendimenti dei Treasury americani hanno oscillato bruscamente. L'incertezza ha spinto gli hedge fund a liquidare posizioni speculative ("basis trade"), aumentando la volatilità. Una possibile spiegazione politica è la vendita massiccia di Treasury da parte della Cina. Moody's ha tagliato il rating degli USA da Aaa ad Aa1 per l'alto debito e i deficit persistenti. I rendimenti dei bond a lungo termine sono saliti (oltre il 5% a 30 anni e 4,52% a 10 anni). La CEO di Citigroup, Jane Fraser, ha segnalato un cambiamento strutturale nei mercati globali, con più rischio percepito e una globalizzazione meno cooperativa.

In studio Luca e Leonardo di parlano di due argomenti di ricerca molto applicata. Nella prima parte Luca parla di un articolo uscito sulla rivista PNAS che descrive come si possa riuscire a pulire un catetere aggiungendo delle ciglia al suo interno e facendole vibrare con un ecografo, per generare un flusso che rimove impuritá e germi. Leonardo descrive come funziona un'organizzazione che sfrutta i RansomWare, dei software che servono a bloccare un sistema in produzione, per poi chiedere un riscatto alla vittima in cambio di riattivare il server. Nel mezzo, Giuliano intervista Luigi Buononato e Francesco Molinari due studenti del liceo Scientifico Martin Luther King di Genova per raccontare la loro esperienza, unica in italia, che ha riguardato la replica di un esperimento da nobel di fisica quantistica in una scuola.Cateteri con le ciglia: https://www.pnas.org/doi/10.1073/pnas.2418938122Ransomware: https://cacm.acm.org/research/ransomware-extortion-is-my-business/Un simpatico archivio che raccoglie chat tra gli estortori e le vittime: https://github.com/Casualtek/Ransomchats/blob/main/Conti/20210812.jsonDiventa un supporter di questo podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/scientificast-la-scienza-come-non-l-hai-mai-sentita--1762253/support.

In this inspiring episode of the HAYVN Hubcast, host Nancy Sheed sits down with Kim Conti, founder of Orbit Crates, a toy rental company focused on reducing clutter and encouraging intentional play. Fresh off her win at the HAYVN Hatch pitch competition, Kim shares her entrepreneurial journey, from corporate innovation to full-time startup founder. Key Highlights: Entrepreneurial Spirit from the Start: Kim always had a drive for innovation, even though her career path took her through corporate roles in marketing, customer experience, operations, and product management, including a leadership role at an AI tech company. Making the Leap: While "moonlighting" Orbit Crates on the side, Kim balanced her career, family, and startup ambitions. Ultimately, she chose to leave her full-time role and go all-in on her business, motivated by deeply held personal values and a strong internal drive to create something meaningful. Building a Bootstrapped Business: Kim shares the realities of entrepreneurship, from creative bootstrapping and bartering services to tapping into local resources like the CT Women's Business Development Council. The Orbit Crates Mission: The company's goal is to reduce toy clutter, encourage creativity over consumption, and give parents and kids a better way to manage toys. With around 400 toys in inventory, Orbit Crates is already serving customers and growing. The Power of Co-Creation: "One of the things I bring from my corporate experience is co-creation, working directly with customers to iterate and improve. Our toy selection, for example, is heavily shaped by real feedback from families using our service” Kim explains Pitching and Growth: Preparing for the HAYVN Hatch pitch taught Kim how to succinctly share her passion and business value. She's now looking for investors, partners, and pilot customers to help expand Orbit Crates' impact. Kim's story is a reminder that even with a non-linear career path, determination, creativity, and a values-driven mindset can lead to fulfilling entrepreneurial success.

Se parliamo in termini economici, nell'immaginario collettivo Chiesa è sinonimo di ricchezza. In realtà i numeri dicono che il Vaticano è in deficit strutturale per oltre 70 milioni di euro circa all'anno. E come sottolinea una fonte anonima uno dei primi compiti del nuovo Papa sarà quello di mettersi a studiare i bilanci perché le cose "vanno male". Come è possibile?
