Maria Chiara Rioli"Senza rifugio"Storia dei profughi palestinesiEditori Laterzawww.laterza.itGli eventi recenti nella Striscia di Gaza hanno riacceso l'interesse del pubblico verso una comprensione più profonda delle radici storiche del conflitto israelo-palestinese. Le mobilità forzate – dall'esilio della maggioranza dei palestinesi nel 1948 alle espulsioni del 1967, fino ai trasferimenti che si sono susseguiti nei decenni successivi – rappresentano un elemento imprescindibile della storia di quest'area. Questo libro ricostruisce la storia dei rifugiati palestinesi utilizzando fonti documentarie inedite e immagini provenienti da archivi disseminati in tutto il mondo. E lo fa coprendo un arco temporale straordinariamente ampio, che parte dalle migrazioni all'interno dell'impero ottomano nel XIX secolo fino ad arrivare agli sviluppi più recenti, passando attraverso i momenti cruciali delle espulsioni nel 1948 e dell'occupazione nel 1967. Una prospettiva di lungo periodo che permette di comprendere continuità e rotture storiche spesso ignorate dalla cronaca contemporanea, offrendo chiavi di lettura originali per interpretare il presente. Le vicende dei rifugiati palestinesi, infatti, investono anche il modo con cui viene ricostruito e narrato il conflitto arabo-israeliano. I palestinesi non sono stati privati soltanto di case, comunità e territori: da esuli e rifugiati, sono state anche negate la loro soggettività e l'identità, presentati come vittime e mai protagonisti.Una storia mai raccontata, oggi più necessaria che mai.Maria Chiara Rioli insegna Storia contemporanea presso l'Università di Modena e Reggio Emilia. Coordina progetti di ricerca europei ed è autrice di volumi e saggi sulla storia del conflitto israelo-palestinese. Tra le sue pubblicazioni, A Liminal Church: Refugees, Conversions and the Latin Diocese of Jerusalem, 1946-1956 (Brill 2020) e L'archivio Mediterraneo.

In this podcast episode, Tavershima explains why your professional reputation is actually a financial asset. He breaks down the idea that a strong personal brand isn't just about "looking good"—it's a tool that builds the trust needed to drive sales and put money in your pocket.Here are the key takeaways from his talk:1. Two Ways to Create ContentTavershima suggests that most content creators fall into one of two categories: * Entertainment: Focusing on high view counts and a massive audience to make money through ads. * Education: Positioning yourself as an expert to build authority and sell specific services.2. The Power of "Conversions"For the educational route, Tavershima stresses that views don't matter if they don't lead to action. You need a conversion strategy—a clear path that moves a follower from just knowing who you are to actually doing business with you.3. Substance Over StyleHe warns professionals not to get distracted by "branding aesthetics" (like perfect logos or fancy colors). Instead, he advises focusing on: * Organic Growth: Building an audience naturally. * Authentic Expertise: Letting your real skills do the talking.Note: Tavershima also announced he will be diving deeper into these topics on the Global TV show "Wealth Creation" with Amb Tina Kenechukwu on DSTV Channel 365 and Star Time Channel 276 on Thursday 12th March 2026, 12:30pm.
Do you really have a sales process… or are you and your team just winging it?Most business and sales leaders confidently say they have a sales process. It's written down. The team knows what to do. Conversions are “okay.” But when you zoom in, what often shows up is variation, inconsistency, and deals being handled differently depending on the day, the rep, or the mood.If you've ever wondered why your close rate sits at 20–30%… why performance varies across your team… or why improving results feels harder than it should — this episode will challenge the assumption that “we've got a process.”Because having experience is not the same as having a repeatable system.In this episode, you'll discover:How to pressure-test whether you truly have a sales process or just accumulated experienceThe exact five stages you should document to create consistency and lift conversion ratesA simple, practical way to build a one-page sales process that improves performance by 2–10% (and compounds over time)If you want to turn small improvements into massive long-term revenue gains, hit play now and learn how to build a sales process that actually works.Resource Link: https://strongersalesteams.com/salesprocess/New episodes every Monday, Wednesday and Friday.Book in your ‘Free Quote Audit' nowTo see how we've helped business grow their sales:Read Client ResultsWatch TestimonialsOr email Ben if you would like to get in touch: hello@strongersalesteams.comThis podcast helps the entrepreneur, founder, CEO, and business owner in the trade, construction and industry segments, regain focus, build confidence, and achieve measurable results through powerful sales training, effective sales strategy, and expert sales coaching—guiding every sales leader, sales manager, and sales team in mastering the sales process, optimizing the sales pipeline, and driving business growth while fostering leadership, balance, and freedom amidst overwhelm, stress, and potential burnout, creating lasting peace of mind and smarter decision making for every California business and Australia business ready to scale up with excellence in sales management.

The Hidden Lightness with Jimmy Hinton – An astonishing religious shift is taking place within Islam itself in Iran. In recent years, an estimated 50,000 of Iran's 75,000 mosques have reportedly closed due to a steep decline in attendance. Unlike traditional church buildings, most Iranian Christians gather in homes. They meet in small groups, often in secret, studying Scripture, praying, and baptizing new...
Most coaches aren't losing because they lack talent, they're losing because they don't know how to communicate in a way that makes people want to buy. This episode breaks down the real meta-skill behind six- and seven-figure coaching businesses: persuasive communication, or "magic messaging." In a world flooded with AI-generated noise, the speaker explains why saying the right words, in the right way, to the right people, is what creates consistent, pre-sold buyers. "It's not about the strategies and tactics. It's about the belief first, because you have to believe what you need to believe in order to take the right actions to get the result." Must-Know Insights: Persuasive communication, not talent, is what drives income: Coaches earn more when they know how to make people want to buy, not just when they're good at their craft. Belief-shifting converts; education alone does not Teaching informs, but changing how prospects think is what moves them to take action. Speak your client's inner language, not coach jargon: Conversions happen when your words mirror what your ideal client is already thinking and feeling. No funnel or ad can fix weak messaging: As echoed by Russell Brunson, traffic only amplifies what your message is already doing—good or bad. Persuasive communication is a transferable, income-multiplying skill: Once mastered, it works across content, sales calls, offers, and business models.

Commuting conversions are transformations on proofs in natural deduction, that move certain stuck inferences out of the way, so that the normal detour reductions (which correspond to beta-reduction under Curry-Howard) are enabled. The stuck inferences are uses of disjunction elimination. In programming terms, if you have an if-then-else (a simple case of or-elimination) where the then- and else-branches are lambda abstractions, and you apply that if-then-else to an argument, you need commuting conversions to move the argument into the branches, so you can call the functions (in the then- and else-branches) with it.See Section 10.1 of Girard's Proofs and Types for more on the problem, and a nice paper by de Groote on strong normalization with commuting conversions.

Your best-ranking pages might be your biggest missed opportunity.We studied content across dozens of campaigns — from global brands like Stanley to fast-growing eCommerce stores — and found the same pattern everywhere: high-ranking pages generating almost no revenue. Not because the SEO was wrong, but because the content wasn't built to convert.After fixing this for clients, including a mortgage business (11,000 leads in 12 months) and cosmetics brand The Ordinary (451% revenue increase from content alone), we identified five things that separate content that converts from content that just ranks.In this podcast episode, I reveal:Why adding more CTAs can actually kill your conversion rate — and what to do insteadThe decision fatigue trap that sends ready-to-buy visitors away empty-handedHow to match your content to the right audience at the right moment in their journeyWhy interrupting the browsing experience costs you sales (and the seamless fix)The interactive tool strategy that generated 11,000 qualified leads in a single yearI'll take you over real examples — including some of the world's biggest brands getting this embarrassingly wrong — and walk you through exactly what high-converting content looks like in practice.And because ranking on Google is only half the battle now, I'll also cover how to get your content visible across ChatGPT, Perplexity, and Google's AI Overviews — before your competitors figure this out.As I explain in this episode:"If your content isn't doing these five things, you might just be generating traffic and rankings for the sake of it — and not actually impacting your bottom line."Listen To These Episodes NextHow SEO Works in 2026 (and How You Can Win)https://exposureninja.com/podcast/373/How To Dominate AI Search Results in 2026https://exposureninja.com/podcast/372/The BEST SEO Strategies for 2026https://exposureninja.com/podcast/368/Request a Free Review of Your Websitehttps://exposureninja.com/review/

Jim and Chris are joined by Jake Turner to discuss listener emails in this special tax related episode covering Roth conversions after RMD age, balancing Roth versus Traditional IRA contributions, HSA versus Roth contributions, IRA reporting questions, filing deceased tax returns, and a listener PSA on tax planning software. (11:30) A listener asks whether converting to a Roth makes sense at age 75 while currently in the 12% bracket and taking RMDs, and whether recent tax law changes create a strategy opportunity. (20:20) George wonders whether his 30-something children should continue using Roth contributions exclusively or begin balancing with Traditional IRA contributions as their wages increase, and asks what percentage split between Traditional and Roth accounts looks reasonable in retirement. (48:45) The guys discuss whether covering medical expenses from an HSA and contributing to a Roth IRA, or leaving the HSA intact and paying medical bills out of pocket will result in greater retirement spending flexibility. (57:00) Jim, Chris, and Jake address whether a spouse who retired during the year is considered covered by a workplace plan, how to answer prior nondeductible IRA contribution questions, and whether Form 8606 is required after making and converting a small IRA contribution in the same year. (1:10:30) George asks how to handle the direct deposit of a refund on a deceased final 1040, including whether to use the estate bank account with an EIN or the decedent's existing account, and whether a paper check remains an option. (1:15:30) A listener PSA introduces Catalyst Tax Insights, a free tool to run “what if” scenarios and estimate taxes owed without using full tax software.

What makes a guest trust your website enough to enter their credit card details? That's the question at the heart of this conversation with Amber Knight from Bookings Cloud - and it's one every property manager should be asking. Amber has been in this industry long enough to remember tape charts and highlighters (yes, really). From growing up around her father's vacation rental business in Sun Valley to helping build corporate development initiatives at Vacasa, she's seen this industry evolve from fully analog to algorithm-driven. And through all of that change, one thing hasn't shifted: If you don't own your guest relationship, you don't own your business. In this episode, we dig into what really drives direct bookings - and why trust is the single most important conversion tool on your website. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________

This week on Respect Life Radio, we're honored to welcome back theologian and trusted guide Scott Ventureyra — known for helping the faithful go beyond routine religious habits to encounter the transcendence of who God truly is. With a reputation for deep theological insight and a gift for making the mysteries of faith accessible, Scott consistently invites listeners to see salvation not as a mechanical checklist, but as a living, dynamic relationship with Christ. In his recent Crisis Magazine article, “Deathbed Conversions and the Limits of Pascal's Wager,” Scott reflects on what authentic faith really looks like, cautioning against reducing salvation to a mere calculation of risk and reward. Instead, he emphasizes that genuine conversion involves a heartfelt turning toward God — rooted in repentance and trust, not logic alone. Scott shares that the faithful should not stop encouraging repentance, emphasizing “Faith in not verification after death, but rather, it is trust before death”. Tune in to gain fresh perspective and be encouraged to embrace a deeper, more vibrant walk with Christ. To learn more about Scott and his writings visit: https://scottventureyra.com/
In this episode of the REconomy Podcast, Chief Economist Mark Fleming, Deputy Chief Economist Odeta Kushi, and Senior Commercial Real Estate Economist Xander Snyder unpack why an uptick in office conversions has had limited impact on the broader office market, and why that may soon change. Office-to-residential conversions remain difficult, costly, and limited in scale, while new office construction has continued to add supply. However, sharply lower office construction starts could mark a shift, making office conversions measurably influential to national office market in the years ahead.

Most entrepreneurs think their funnel is broken when it doesn't convert. But after building funnels for over two decades, I can tell you the truth… ninety-nine percent of the time, the funnel isn't the problem. The problem is we haven't done the work of testing. The difference between a funnel that struggles and one that scales to millions usually comes down to a few small changes - tested intentionally and consistently. In this episode of The Russell Brunson Show, I pull a classic out of my vault: Tested Advertising Methods by John Caples. This is one of the foundational books that shaped modern advertising and completely transformed how I look at marketing. I share the story of my very first split test - changing nothing but the color of a headline - and how that simple tweak increased conversions by nearly 27%, instantly giving me a “raise” without more traffic, more ad spend, or more work. If you've ever wanted to know how to systematically grow your business instead of gambling on guesses, this episode is your blueprint. Key Highlights: ◼️Why 80% of your ad's success depends on the headline - and how to structure it so it pulls people into the first paragraph ◼️The exact split-testing framework I use inside ClickFunnels to “give myself a raise” every single day ◼️The biggest mistake entrepreneurs make when testing (and why testing more than one variable at a time kills your data) ◼️Why specifics dramatically out-convert generalities - and how one precise headline 3X'd our results ◼️How old-school advertisers risked tens of thousands of dollars per test - and what their discipline can teach us today Testing isn't just a tactic… it's a philosophy. It's the difference between hoping your funnel works and knowing it works. When you understand how to test headlines, offers, and pages the right way, you stop guessing and start engineering growth. John Caples mastered this decades ago, and when you adopt that same mindset, you'll realize you're just one split test away from your next breakthrough. ◼️https://russellbrunson.com/notes ◼️If you've got a product, offer, service… or idea… I'll show you how to sell it (the RIGHT way) Register for my next event → https://sellingonline.com/podcast ◼️Still don't have a funnel?

If your offers aren't converting the way they should be, it might not be your content, your audience, or your price. It might be the fact that there is no real reason for someone to buy right now.Kendra explains why scarcity is not about being manipulative or “salesy,” but about helping people make decisions instead of staying stuck in endless maybe-later mode.

Food halls are no longer just a trend—they are a high-impact amenity for improving a property's dwell time, leasing velocity and NOI. Recorded at Central Perk in Times Square, a quartet of experts from Colicchio Consulting and CBRE explain how the best food halls prioritize operations and programming, new beverage and evening strategies, the lowdown on operator selection and deal structures that offer better risk-sharing and returns.- Food halls aren't food courts: Independent concepts + community + beverage drive performance.- Hybrid work has changed the operating model: Fewer office days demand longer-hour, programming-led models.- Conversions can happen everywhere: Converting buildings to their highest and best use can work for both offices and food halls, especially in suburban markets.- Alignment between operators and landlords: Vendor stall flexibility and percentage-rent leases can benefit operators and investors.- Market snapshot: Colicchio Consulting believes the sweet spot of sizing is around 10,000–15,000 sq. ft. with average buildout costs around $400/sq. ft., depending on the market.

Come see and talk to Elvis and Barb at all these amazing shows coming up in 2026* Cal-Lab Association Meeting in Chicago Feb 19-20 https://cal-lab.org/ LMT Lab Day Chicago Feb 19-21 https://lmtmag.com/lmtlabday Dental Lab Association of Texas Meeting in Dallas Apr 9-11 https://members.dlat.org/ exocad Insights in Mallorca, Spain Apr 30 - May 1 https://exocad.com/insights-2026 This week Elvis and Barb sit down with Helen Tanaka — a removable, implant, and digital workflow specialist whose career started in one of the most relatable ways possible: as a dental lab driver. What began as a job delivering cases quickly turned into a full-blown passion once she stepped inside the lab and saw what technicians were creating. From trimming dies and waxing copings to managing labs, supporting implant surgeries, teaching doctors chairside, and leading removable and implant teams, Helen shares a journey built on curiosity, persistence, and a deep drive to understand the why behind everything in dental technology. Helen talks about working her way through crown and bridge fundamentals before discovering her true passion in removables, dentures, implants, and occlusion. After getting real-world lab experience, she attended dental technology school, studied all six specialties, and continued expanding her knowledge through advanced occlusion training and continuing education. She explains why understanding morphology, materials, and occlusal principles is critical — especially today — and why technicians must know more than just the steps of fabrication. For Helen, dentures and implant prosthetics offer the ultimate puzzle, combining anatomy, function, and problem-solving in ways that keep her constantly engaged. The conversation dives deep into digital dentistry, guided surgery, and removable workflows, with Helen sharing her early experiences launching digital denture and sleep appliance programs long before the workflows were polished. She discusses digital record capture, stackable surgical guides, implant planning, photogrammetry, and where digital still needs improvement — especially for removable prosthetics. While she embraces technology, she stresses that software is only as good as the technician behind it, and that skipping fundamentals creates bigger problems later. Digital is powerful, but it doesn't replace understanding. Education is a major theme throughout the episode. Helen regularly teaches doctors and technicians, speaks at courses, supports live implant conversions, and works with dental students. She emphasizes that many clinicians today lack confidence in dentures and removable workflows, often because fundamentals are under-taught, and she sees technicians as essential partners in closing that gap. She and the hosts discuss how removable cases are frequently rushed, underpaid, and misunderstood — even though they replace a critical body function — and why slowing down, capturing correct records, and returning to basics solves many of the “mystery” failures labs see every day. Helen also shares stories from her time with large organizations and clinical teams, including MicroDental, ClearChoice, Arklign, and implant education centers, where she has worked in technical service, management, training, and quality oversight roles. She talks about networking, mentoring, never burning bridges, and investing in people coming up in the industry. Her approach to both dentistry and life centers around curiosity and accountability — always asking why, always backing decisions with data, and always trying to do the right thing even when no one is looking. Throughout the episode, the energy stays fun and honest, with stories about speeding delivery runs, early digital growing pains, chairside save-the-case moments, and the reality of fixing cases that skipped key steps. Helen brings passion, technical depth, and a strong belief that knowledge should be shared, not guarded. It's a conversation about growth, fundamentals, digital evolution, and why great technicians still matter more than ever.

St. Paul responds to God's entrance into his life in a powerful and exemplary way. His willingness to suffer for Christ reveals the depth of his love for God.

This week on the Podcast for Cultural Reformation, Nate Wright, Dr. Joe Boot, and Dr. Michael Thiessen review Russell Brand’s remarks at TPUSA’s AmericaFest and reflect on what they reveal about public faith, repentance, and cultural renewal. They discuss the twin dangers Christians often fall into with celebrity conversions—either uncritically platforming new believers or cynically dismissing their professions of faith—and argue for a biblically grounded middle road marked by discernment, prayer, and patience. The conversation highlights Brand’s emphasis on repentance, his critique of statism, and his growing vision for Christian culture that avoids both pietistic retreat and forced political triumphalism. Ultimately, the episode points beyond personalities to the real hope of cultural reformation: transformed people, faithful discipleship, and the advancing kingdom of Christ.

Scott Adams, the creator of Dilbert, stepped into eternity last week and a letter was shared saying that he had given his life to Christ just prior to his passing. What makes this moment so striking isn't just the confession itself, but the way he framed it. In the letter it seemed he wasn't entirely convinced in the traditional sense. Instead, he described his decision more like a Pascalian wager, a calculated choice made in the face of uncertainty, suffering and mortality that raises some uncomfortable and fascinating questions. Is faith still faith if it merely begins with a wager? Can belief be genuine, even if doubt never fully leaves? And what do we make of so-called deathbed conversions? Are they real transformations of the heart or last minute insurance policies against the unknown?
