In inglese ha un nome simile alla parola italiana usata per trasferire lebollette a un'altra persona: vulture. In ebraico si può dire rachàmo racàmah. Ma se è nero, il suo nome diventa ‘ozniyàh. Stiamo parlandodell'avvoltoio e dell'avvoltoio nero.L'avvoltoio è un grosso uccello necrofago che rende un servizio moltoprezioso nelle terre dal clima caldo, visto che si nutre di cadaveri e di carnein putrefazione, impedendo la diffusione di molte malattie.Il nome arabo del capovaccaio (Rakhma Miṣriyya) è simile all'ebraicorachàm, e designa l'avvoltoio egiziano (lat. Neophron percnopterus),spesso chiamato “gallo del faraone”. Questo uccello è bianco, fatta eccezioneper le ali nere e il becco e le zampe gialli. È uno degli avvoltoi più piccoli,visto che è lungo circa 65 cm. Con il suo muso nudo e rugoso, i grandi occhi, il becco adunco e gliartigli ricurvi, ha un aspetto piuttosto ripugnante. A causa della suapropensione a nutrirsi di rifiuti disdegnati persino da altri avvoltoi, èconsiderato il più immondo spazzino del Medio Oriente e, allo stesso tempo, ilpiù utile per il servizio che svolge. Il grifone (Gyps fulvus) è un uccello bruno-giallastro, lungo circa1,2 m e con un'apertura alare di circa 2,7 m. Era il simbolo della dea egizia Nekhbete appariva sugli stendardi usati in battaglia dagli egizi, dagli assiri e daipersiani.Il gipeto, o avvoltoio barbuto (Gypaëtus barbatus), è un grande rapace,alto circa 1,2 m. Con le sue lunghe ali appuntite che si aprono per quasi 3 m,il gipeto vola con insolita grazia e volteggia senza sforzo mentre cerca cibonel terreno sottostante. A differenza di altri avvoltoi, il gipeto ha piumesulla testa e una barba che ricorda quella di una capra. Non è strano che siachiamato anche avvoltoio degli agnelli.Il gipeto predilige le ossa con midollo, che porta a grandi altezze e chepoi lascia cadere sulle rocce in modo che si spacchino, permettendo all'uccellodi raggiungere il midollo all'interno.Di questo animale esistono pochi esemplari. Negli ultimi 50 anni, in tuttal'area del Mediterraneo, si è visto un solo gipeto nato in questa regione dellaTerra. Alcuni gipeti sono stati comunque portati sulle Alpi dall'America, ehanno nidificato. L'unico natio del Mediterraneo ha costruito più nidi. Uno sulParco di Porto Conte e uno sul Gennargentu, così si può dire che ha una casa almare e una in montagna. Spesso si ritrova con i grifoni lungo la stradapanoramica Alghero-Bosa, e si può ammirare in loro compagnia a ridosso del mareanche dalla Scala Piccada, la strada interna che scende dalla comunità montanadi Villanova Monteleone. Potrebbe aver nidificato anche in Corsica. Infatti, pochianni fa ha generato dei cuccioli (pertanto questo esemplare di gipeto è una femmina),accoppiandosi probabilmente con un grifone corso.Si dice che, se si appoggiasse sul tettuccio di una berlina, il gipetopotrebbe abbracciare con le sue ali l'intera automobile, tanto mastodontica èla sua apertura alare. Il gipeto è il terzo uccello più grande al mondo nonchéil più grande del Mediterraneo. Oltre ai gipeti, in America risiedono i due uccelli più grandi: il condordelle Ande (Vultur gryphus), la cui apertura alare arriva a 3,3 metri, eil condor della California (Gymnogyps californianus), la cui aperturaalare è una via di mezzo fra quella del condor delle Ande e quella del Gipeto.All'inizio abbiamo citato l'avvoltoio nero (ebr. ‘ozniyàh; lat. Aegypiusmonachus), il più grande rapace in Israele. Il colore in verità è piùvicino al marrone che al nero, mentre la testa è nuda e il collo è blu; la codaè a forma di cuneo. La sua apertura alare è simile a quella del gipeto (2,5-3,1metri).Si noti, però, che anche nelle Americhe vive un uccello dal nome simile: l'avvoltoionero americano (Coragyps atratus), la cui apertura alare è inferiore:1,4-1,7 metri.Code: K434CNO5XI6Z4BUW, GY4NVXG0UQ8KBOPA, UFWQH3C4C5VKYMWG

In this sweet episode of Fabulously Delicious, we're diving deep into the golden world of French honey, or miel. From the floral fields of Provence to the rugged chestnut forests of Corsica and even the rooftops of Paris, French honey tells a story of terroir, tradition, and taste.

Plus, we'll share how French people enjoy honey daily—from local markets to Michelin-starred menus. So pour yourself a cup of herbal tea, drizzle a little honey on a warm baguette, and join us as we celebrate the sticky, golden nectar that's been sweetening French life for centuries.

Full Text of ReadingsMonday of the Fifth Week of Easter Lectionary: 285The Saint of the day is Saint Theophilus of CorteSaint Theophilus of Corte's Story If we expect saints to do marvelous things continually and to leave us many memorable quotes, we are bound to be disappointed with Saint Theophilus. The mystery of God's grace in a person's life, however, has a beauty all its own. Theophilus was born in Corsica of rich and noble parents. As a young man, he entered the Franciscans and soon showed his love for solitude and prayer. After admirably completing his studies, he was ordained and assigned to a retreat house near Subiaco. Inspired by the austere life of the Franciscans there, he founded other such houses in Corsica and Tuscany. Over the years, he became famous for his preaching as well as his missionary efforts. Though he was always somewhat sickly, Theophilus generously served the needs of God's people in the confessional, in the sickroom, and at the graveside. Worn out by his labors, he died on June 17, 1740. He was canonized in 1930. Reflection There is a certain dynamism in all the saints that prompts them to find ever more selfless ways of responding to God's grace. As time went on, Theophilus gave more and more single-hearted service to God and to God's sons and daughters. Honoring the saints will make no sense unless we are thus drawn to live as generously as they did. Their holiness can never substitute for our own. Saint of the Day, Copyright Franciscan Media

Introduction Welcome back to Higher Density Living! After a brief hiatus, hosts Alexander McCaig and Jason Rigby reunite in the studio, buzzing with life's latest revelations. Jason returns from a European adventure, while Alexander steps into fatherhood with the birth of his son, Gabrael. Together, they unpack the profound alchemy of parenting—blending raw spiritual awe with biological evolution. This episode, Part 1 of a two-part series, invites listeners to explore creation's edge, where innocence meets potential and exhaustion reveals divinity. Hosts Bio Alexander McCaig: Co-host of HDL, a consciousness seeker and new father, sharing transformative insights from his journey into parenthood. Jason Rigby: Co-host, spiritual guide, and father, back from a European trip, weaving travel tales with deep reflections on the human condition. Key Discussion Points 1. The Return and Life Updates Jason kicks off: “We're back! My gosh, it's been some time. You've really been gone—you've been busy.” Alexander: “I've been gone ‘cause I had a newborn recently—one of the most transformational experiences of my entire life.” Jason: “You were in Europe too—Napoleon, Corsica. But yeah, we're both fathers now. Kind of wow, right?” 2. Fatherhood as Creation's Mirror Alexander: “The power of creation at the human level—another human growing inside a human because two came together. It's not just physical, it's deeply spiritual.” Jason: “It's a symbolization of creation growth—innocence and potential, that's all that's there.” A renewal moment: The newborn reflects creation's essence—pure, unfiltered, and brimming with possibility. 3. Innocence and Potential in Newborns Jason: “What I love from a spiritual perspective is seeing innocence and potential—so beautiful, we forget it.” Alexander: “They're helpless, needing 100% of your attention—like tending the most delicate crops.” Jason: “They're not desensitized like us—they see the world fresh, and we can't limit that.” 4. The Responsibility of Self-Awareness Alexander: “You need self-control and self-awareness to not impress your stifled energy onto the child.” Jason: “Everything you bring to their care opens their potential—or stifles it. There's two options.” Alexander: “You'd want the maximum and the best—hoping they take your best and step above you. That's evolution's point.” 5. Biological Evolution in Parents Jason: “Parents undergo shocking transformations—gray matter increases, prefrontal cortex and hypothalamus grow for bonding.” Alexander: “Oxytocin's through the roof—your senses max out, supercharging your brain.” Jason: “Evolution doesn't stop; having a kid accelerates it for both parent and child.” 6. Sanctification Through Chaos Jason: “Sleepless nights and constant care—it's sanctifying, a space for divine presence.” Alexander: “Try this: Use the newborn as a candle—gaze into their eyes silently. You'll be shocked how long they hold your attention.” Jason: “It's pure connection—a meditation.” 7. The Energy of Naming (Gabrael's Story) Alexander explains naming his son Gabrael Rowin: “Energy in names matters—spelling and meaning align with creation's patterns.” Why “Gabrael” (AEL spelling): “An older, primordial form meaning ‘might of creation,' synced with birth timing and Chaldean numerology.” Rowan: “‘One who lives in righteousness'—congruent energy for his potential.” Jason: “I love that—it's not just a name, it's intentional energy.” 8. Awe and Exhaustion as Spiritual Gifts Jason: “Why do we feel awe in exhaustion after birth?” Alexander: “It's creation reminding you of true purpose—a visceral truth you've ignored, demanding your attention.” Alexander: “You could feel this awe every moment if you paid attention, but the baby forces it. Look at the raw power and beauty.” Memorable Quotes “The power of creation at the human level—it's a renewal.” – Alexander “Innocence and potential—that's all that's there in a newborn.” – Jason “Your brain evolves as much as the child's—evolution doesn't stop.” – Jason “Creation wakes you up: Look at the raw power and beauty of this.” – Alexander Resources Mentioned HDL Podcast Archives: Explore all episodes at higherdensityliving.com Coming Soon: Part 2 of this fatherhood series—stay tuned!

Napoleon Bonaparte (1769-1821) a fost unul dintre cei mai influenți lideri militari și politici ai Franței, cunoscut pentru războaiele sale și pentru reformele care au modelat Europa modernă. Născut în Corsica, a urcat rapid în ierarhia militară în timpul Revoluției Franceze, remarcându-se prin victoriile sale împotriva austriecilor și prusacilor.În 1799, a preluat puterea printr-o lovitură de stat, devenind Prim Consul, iar în 1804 s-a autoproclamat Împărat al francezilor. Sub conducerea sa, Franța a dominat Europa, învingând marile puteri în bătălii celebre precum Austerlitz (1805) și Wagram (1809). A implementat Codul Napoleonic, o reformă juridică ce influențează și astăzi sistemele de drept.Totuși, ambițiile sale expansioniste au dus la eșecuri. Campania din Rusia (1812) a fost un dezastru, iar după înfrângerea din Bătălia de la Leipzig (1813), a fost exilat pe insula Elba. Revenit în 1815 pentru "Domnia de 100 de zile", a fost învins definitiv la Waterloo și exilat pe insula Sfânta Elena, unde a murit în 1821.Napoleon a lăsat o moștenire profundă, influențând politica, dreptul și identitatea națională europeană. Rămâne o figură controversată, considerat atât un geniu militar, cât și un lider despotic.Support the showhttps://www.patreon.com/octavpopahttps://www.youtube.com/channel/UCC91fciphdkZyUquL3M5BiA

Iain is joined by adventurer Elise Wortley. In the last 7 years, Elise has taken on some hugely challenging projects to highlight some of the original – and largely forgotten - female mountaineers and explorers. What makes her ‘Woman With Altitude' project unique is that she has climbed and trekked in places such as the Himalayas, the Alps and the Cairngorms using the same equipment and clothing that was available to her female predecessors at the time. We discuss what it's like trying to summit Mt Blanc in hobnail boots, how you source a wooden-framed backpack and the challenges of hiking in woollen knickerbockers. Elise also featured in the Channel 4 programme ‘Alone' where she spend over a month in the Canadian wilderness completely alone.

Luca Gianotti"L'arte del camminare"Consigli per partire con il piede giustoEdiciclo Editorewww.ediciclo.itLa nuova edizione, riveduta e aggiornata, del primo manuale accessibile e divulgativo sul camminare scritto da uno dei maggiori esperti sull'argomento.Viaggiare camminando vuol dire entrare in contatto con la Terra, che calpestiamo passo dopo passo, e con la sua Natura a cui abbandonare i nostri sensi per farsi accogliere da Lei in un abbraccio ristoratore e rigenerante. E dunque abbracciare un albero, dormire sotto le stelle, ascoltare il silenzio, annusare e assaggiare le erbe incontrate, bagnarsi nei torrenti o nelle calette isolate dei mari mediterranei, ammirare il volo di un rapace, sono tutte emozioni che ci riempiono di energia. È un viaggiare a bassa velocità, e quindi è la forma di viaggio che consente maggiormente un approfondimento verticale dei luoghi attraversati. Il camminare si è evoluto in questi anni da attività sportiva e performante (arrivare sulla cima) a attività di vagabondaggio, spirituale, di crescita interiore. Il camminare sempre di più è un gesto rivoluzionario, controcorrente, ma anche un bisogno profondo che torna a galla. Di tutto questo vogliamo parlarvi, introducendovi a questa nobile arte.Luca GianottiÈ nato nel 1961 a Modena, laurea in filosofia, guida di trekking da una ventina d'anni, tra i fondatori della Compagnia dei Cammini, in passato fondatore dell'associazione La Boscaglia e suo presidente per più di un decennio. È stato scialpinista con all'attivo alcune spedizioni alpinistiche importanti tra le quali la traversata del Vatnajokull (Islanda), il più grande ghiacciaio del mondo, e la salita al Khan Tengri (7010 m) in Thien Shan (confine Kazakistan/Kirghizistan). Tra le sue imprese anche la traversata del deserto del Sahara algerino in mountain bike. Camminatore in tante parti del mondo, dalla Patagonia alla Thailandia, dall'Albania a Capoverde, da Socotra (Yemen) alla Norvegia, anche se ha sempre privilegiato i cammini mediterranei, Grecia, Turchia, Italia del Sud e isole.

Interview with Keith Barron, President & CEO of Aurania ResourcesRecording date: 21st January, 2025Aurania Resources, led by CEO Keith Barron, is advancing two strategic projects targeting critical metals in Ecuador and France. The company's flagship asset in southeastern Ecuador comprises a 200,000-hectare land package in the same mineral belt as the high-grade Fruta del Norte gold deposit, a previous discovery by Barron's team.The company has invested over $60 million in systematic exploration of its Ecuador properties, identifying multiple targets for gold, copper, silver, lead, and zinc mineralization. These include sedimentary-hosted copper deposits similar to those in the DRC, high-grade epithermal gold targets reminiscent of Fruta del Norte, and zones of silver-rich lead-zinc mineralization in limestones. A recent $200,000 induced polarization survey has been completed over a key gold target, with results pending.Aurania is actively engaging with major mining companies for potential partnerships to advance its Ecuador projects. However, these discussions are temporarily paused pending Ecuador's upcoming national elections. The current pro-mining government is expected to retain power, though political uncertainty remains. The U.S. government has shown strategic interest in Ecuador's critical metals potential, particularly in preventing these resources from being controlled by Chinese interests.In France, Aurania is pursuing an unconventional nickel opportunity on the island of Corsica. The project involves extracting nickel-rich black sands from beaches, which contain awaruite, a naturally occurring nickel-iron alloy. Preliminary sampling has yielded impressive grades of up to 50% nickel, significantly higher than conventional hard rock nickel mines. These deposits, formed from eroded ultramafic rocks and enriched by historical asbestos mining waste, present a unique opportunity for near-term production.The company plans to extract the nickel-rich sands using a simple dredging operation, with potential production targeted for 2026. The project aligns with Europe's push for domestic critical metal supply chains, particularly for the expanding electric vehicle battery sector. Aurania emphasizes the project's environmental advantages, noting it would produce "clean nickel" without the rainforest impact associated with traditional nickel mining in countries like Indonesia.The investment thesis for Aurania centers on its exposure to critical metals essential for the clean energy transition, experienced management team, and potential near-term cash flow from the Corsica project. Key catalysts include Ecuador's election results, geophysical survey results, potential partnership announcements, and advancement of the Corsica nickel project. While both projects remain speculative, they offer strategic positioning in the growing market for battery and clean energy metals.Learn more: https://cruxinvestor.com/companies/aurania-resourcesSign up for Crux Investor: https://cruxinvestor.com
The 2025 Season of Krunching Gears, episode 2. In this edition of Krunching Gears—The Rally Podcast, we chat with Mats van den Brand, who specialises in building and preparing BMW M3 rally cars according to FIA historic rally specifications. Mats is based in the Netherlands, and both Mats and his beautifully prepared cars are becoming a regular feature of Irish rallying. The BMW M3 E30 is an iconic rally car developed by Prodrive. It first graced the stages in 1987 in the hands of Bernard Béguin. He went on to win the WRC round in Corsica that year. In Ireland, the M3 dominated the stages during the late 1980s and early 1990s. Its agility made it a perfect match for Ireland's tight, twisty roads and was notably campaigned by Bertie Fisher, Austin McHale and Andrew Nesbitt.
Located in the Mediterranean Sea, Corsica is known as the "island of beauty". It's had a tumultuous relationship with the mainland since it became French in the 18th century and separatist sentiment still runs deep. In recent years, there has been growing momentum towards more autonomy for the island, but what would that mean for Corsicans? We take a closer look in this edition of French Connections.

Fred Bodimer explores significant stories in religion this week. The Crown of Thorns relic has returned to Notre Dame Cathedral in Paris, marking a milestone in restoration efforts. A rare stone tablet inscribed with the 10 Commandments in Hebrew was sold at auction, highlighting its historic and cultural value. Pope Francis revealed the harrowing details of intercepted suicide bombers during his 2021 trip to Iraq and visited the French island of Corsica on a one-day spiritual mission.
In the week before Christmas, Pope Francis made a visit to Corsica to talk about traditional popular piety. It's a fitting theme as Christians everywhere prepare to contemplate the Nativity of Jesus. Catholic News Agency's Hannah Brockhaus traveled with the pope and brings us a report. We also get a glimpse of Christmas preparations from a Catholic pastor and preview of Christmas homilies. We talk to Register contributor Father Dwight Longenecker.

On his 88th birthday, Pope Francis revealed he survived two assassination attempts during his 2021 apostolic visit to Iraq, a journey already recognized as high-risk. In this episode of Inside the Vatican, Colleen and Gerry examine this shocking disclosure and other insights from his forthcoming autobiography, Hope, with excerpts released to mark the occasion ahead of its January publication. They also reflect on the first-ever visit of a pope to the Mediterranean island of Corsica on Sunday, Dec. 5, where he participated in a conference on popular religiosity and celebrated Mass for the island's predominantly Catholic community.

This week we're off to the Mediterranean's most mountainous island with travel writer Anna Richards. Together we discuss Corsica's dramatic landscapes and picture-perfect beaches, as well as what sets it apart from mainland France. Plus, Anna shares what it's really like to walk one of Europe's most demanding hikes, the GR20. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
Meditation and mindfulness: are they effective or it this just woo-woo? We'll ask this question to Anne-Marie Emmanuel, a retired French teacher from Corsica who lives in New Mexico. After several sad events affected her life, Anne-Marie resorted to mindfulness practices she had set aside years before and found solace in them. She then embraced meditation as a way to become more centered and in touch with our soul. Now a fully trained mindfulness guide, she leads Mindful Frontiers, bringing mindfulness to school classrooms, designing corporate staff training sessions and custom workshops. In this interview Anne-Marie will not only explain how mindfulness works, but she will share 3 poignant stories showing how mindfulness helps us every day, plus several tips on how to get started. And to top it off, she will also start meditation live while in the episode, so you can get to try it immediately! Want to know more?

This two part series is all about Napoleon Bonaparte, the scrappy outsider who just wanted to belong. In part one, Napoleon worked hard to prove himself in the French army after he was booted out of his homeland of Corsica. He used his brilliant mind to rise through the ranks and help the revolutionaries secure an independent France. But after a disastrous military campaign in Egypt, he returns to France to find all of his hard work undone. Now, Napoleon has a new mission – achieving political power – and he won't quit until he reaches the top.Listen to Even The Royals on the Wondery App or wherever you get your podcasts.

Napoleon Bonaparte is notorious for being a power-hungry, vertically-challenged French emperor who conquered, and then pissed off, much of Europe in the 19th century. But Napoleon wasn't that short, wasn't born in France, and actually wanted to be a writer. He was an upstart from Corsica who started out as a bullied outcast just looking for some respect. But he quickly learns that men like him aren't just handed respect. They have to take it for themselves.Listen to Even The Royals on the Wondery App or wherever you get your podcasts.

Seneca was exiled to what he felt was a rock in the middle of the ocean. He hated it. He thought it was torture. And of course, it was unfair that he was sent there—on trumped up charges no less—and it would have been lonely and sad to be so far from his family.Yet it is a little funny that the place he was sent to, Corsica, is a beautiful vacation spot for people all over the world today.Seneca couldn't see that, just as perhaps you can't see what's just underneath the rough exterior of the situation you're in. We've talked before about the Maggie Smith poem Good Bones. It takes a certain eye to be able spot what others are too depressed or too cynical or too devastated to see.Think of the settlers and developers who were able to see what later became bustling cities in the uncultivated land. Think of the people who were able to see the potential for renewal and growth in a run down neighborhood. Think of the leaders who saw a future in an organization or franchise that everyone else gave up on.We can forgive Seneca for his moments of self-pity and doubt and hopelessness. It would happen to the best of us. We can also learn from what he missed by focusing on that. We can try to see the good bones, the better future, the potential in the situation we're in. We can strive to make that come true.✉️ Sign up for the Daily Stoic email: https://dailystoic.com/dailyemail
