All'inizio degli anni '80, Bologna era un laboratorio culturale in fermento. Musica, arte e controculture si intrecciavano in un esuberante paesaggio urbano. In questo scenario si muoveva Francesca Alinovi, giovane critica e docente, voce brillante e anticonformista che sapeva cogliere il respiro delle nuove avanguardie.La sua figura era magnetica: curiosa, instancabile, capace di attraversare mondi diversi e di raccontarli con lucidità e passione. Ma proprio quando la sua carriera sembrava pronta a decollare, la città fu scossa da un evento che trasformò il suo nome in un enigma. La sua morte improvvisa, avvolta da tensioni personali e misteri, lasciò un vuoto che ancora oggi interroga chi ricorda quegli anni.Il caso Alinovi non è solo cronaca nera, è il simbolo di un tempo in cui l'arte e la vita si confondevano, e in cui la fragilità dei rapporti umani poteva diventare dramma. La sua storia resta sospesa tra memoria culturale e inquietudine, come un quadro incompiuto che continua a chiedere di essere guardato.Accesso esclusivo Patreonhttps://bit.ly/3C1LnZ7Seguici su Instagram https://bit.ly/3C4megwIscriviti al canale WhatsApphttps://bit.ly/4h8B6JtQuesta è un'opera di fantasia ispirata da una storia vera.

This week on the EcoNews Report we're excited to share that the comment period for Eel River dam removal has finally opened! Tune in to hear co-hosts Tom Wheeler of EPIC and Alicia Bales of the Redwood Chapter of the Sierra Club talk with Alicia Hamann of Friends of the Eel River about this important moment. The Wild and Scenic Eel River offers an unparalleled opportunity to restore native fish populations. With vast, high-quality habitat protected in wild landscapes and fish that retain their wild genetics, dam removal will reconnect hundreds of miles of prime spawning and rearing habitat, restore natural sediment flow, reduce methylmercury buildup, and improve downstream water quality. Taking down the Eel River dams is the single most important step toward recovering the river's once-abundant salmon, steelhead, and lamprey runs. Supported by Tribes, fishers, recreationists, and conservation groups, the Free the Eel movement invites everyone to help heal a century of harm and restore this iconic river.Learn more and find information about upcoming comment workshops and instructions for submitting comments at eelriver.org.Support the show

Since 1951, when Tibet was formally annexed into the People's Republic of China, Tibet has been a battleground between China's efforts to assert control and the Tibetan people's struggle to preserve their cultural and religious identity. This past August, Xi Jinping made a surprise visit to Tibet, his second since becoming China's top leader in 2012. Less than two months earlier, the Dalai Lama, now 90 years old, announced that his office, not China, would choose his successor when he passes. A few months before that, the Dalai Lama revealed in a memoir that he would reincarnate outside of China. The PRC insists that the next incarnation – the 15th Dalai Lama – will be born inside PRC territory and approved by the Chinese government. What are Beijing's interests in Tibet and how has Xi Jinping pursued them since coming to power? What is likely to occur after the Dalai Lama's passing? I'm delighted to have as my guest today Tendor Dorjee. Tendor is an adjunct assistant professor of political science at Columbia University, a senior researcher at the Tibet Action Institute, and the inaugural Stephanie G Neuman Fellow at the Saltzman Institute of War and Peace Studies.

"If not Dams, then what is the solution?"The solution is to let the river flow.If you want reservoirs, you can build natural lakes. If you want electricity, you can aim for smaller manageable run of the river projects.The Sindhu darya is what gives this entire region its identity, you are not mightier than the Indus, in your hubris, and your infinite greed, do not think of the Indus as another plot of land that you can build a housing society on.Our overlords never think of the people when they plan projects, they just look at the potential dollars they will make.Imagine if the mighty Indus flowed throughout Pakistan, Karachi had two rivers all year round. The water was clean enough for people to fish and sustain themselves all along the river from Kashmir to Karachi.Ravi, Chenab, and the Indus had wetlands and forests along the way that could become tourist attractions.Our urban centers would not turn into gas chambers every smog season. Our rivers could breath, our cities could breath, and our people could breath.Imagine being able to take a boat from Karachi to Lahore. Instead we block all the natural drainage to build housing societies then spend billions putting in drainage, and the societies still end up getting flooded.Our cities are concrete jungles slowly killing us all.We are the people of the Indus, you have erased our history, and now you are trying to erase the Indus altogether. This is unacceptable. Let the rivers flow!

Era un pubblico ufficiale e rinfacciava a mia madre - casalinga - anche i beni di prima necessità che comprava per noi. Mi sono resa conto molto presto che i soldi erano qualcosa di importante, ma da bambina non volevo mi si comprasse nulla. Non chiedevo mai ciò di cui avevo bisogno, perché sapevo che avrei in qualche modo disturbato».A sedici anni, dopo un episodio di violenza particolarmente grave, la famiglia riesce a cacciare di casa il padre. Prima di andarsene, però, l'uomo svuota il conto corrente comune, lasciandole senza risorse. Il mantenimento, irrisorio, costringe la madre a lavorare instancabilmente, alternando attività diverse, mentre anche Matilde e la sorella - ancora minorenni - iniziano a contribuire economicamente. Dopo le superiori, Matilde si iscrive al Dams di Bologna grazie a una borsa di studio, e continua a vivere con la madre e la sorella minore. All'età di 22 anni scopre di essere lesbica. Il suo orientamento sessuale incontra l'incomprensione di sua madre, così decide di trasferirsi a Roma. Lì lavora in un negozio di abbigliamento e si iscrive alla Magistrale in Scienze della Comunicazione, sostenendo gran parte delle spese universitarie e contribuendo al sostentamento della madre. Gli anni romani sono difficili, contraddistinti da solitudine e fatica. In seguito si ritroverà a vivere a Milano, a Bologna e poi infine a Firenze, cambiando partner e lavoro, ma con una costante: «Ho sempre avuto un sistema punitivo molto rigido, anche con i soldi: pensavo di non meritare di spenderli, perché magari il giorno dopo avrei potuto averne bisogno per risolvere un problema».Oggi, Matilde percepisce uno stipendio di 1.600 euro al mese e, sebbene continui a fare fatica a spenderli o a risparmiare, il suo rapporto con i soldi sta pian piano cambiando, grazie al sostegno della compagna e alla psicoterapia: «Quando ero all'università, ogni volta che prendevo 30 mi premiavo con una pizza; se invece prendevo anche solo 29, ero capace di digiunare per punirmi, perché ritenevo di non essere stata abbastanza brava. Oggi il mio rapporto con il denaro è migliorato, e sto imparando a concedermi dei piaceri, ma è stato un percorso piuttosto difficile».

Nell'attesa di ricongiungersi coi complici e andare a recuperare il bottino nascosto, Cosimo e Flavio si trovano così a dover passare qualche giorno su un'isola che non conoscono, che sortisce su di loro effetti opposti: Cosimo ne resta ammaliato, Flavio non vede l'ora di tornare a casa.

Welcome to the Leading Edge in Emotionally Focused Therapy, hosted by Drs. James Hawkins, Ph.D., LPC, and Ryan Rana, Ph.D., LMFT, LPC—Renowned ICEEFT Therapists, Supervisors, and Trainers. We're thrilled to have you with us. We believe this podcast, a valuable resource, will empower you to push the boundaries in your work, helping individuals and couples connect more deeply with themselves and each other. Summary: This episode of "Push the Leading Edge" focuses on Stage 2, Step 5 of Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), specifically exploring the concept of "Deadly Attachment Messages" (DAMs) and their role in deepening therapeutic work. Dr. James Hawkins and Dr. Ryan Rana discuss how therapists can help clients access and process their most painful, internalized beliefs about themselves—beliefs that often drive protective behaviors in relationships. The episode emphasizes the importance of staying with clients in these vulnerable places, facilitating experiential change, and preparing for partner acceptance and new ways of reaching for needs. The hosts also share practical tips, personal experiences, and resources for therapists seeking to improve their EFT practice. Top 10 Points: 1. **EFT Intensives Resource**: The hosts highlight EFT intensives available in Northwest Arkansas, recommending them as valuable resources for therapists and couples. intensives@thejoshuacenter.com.  2. **Upcoming SV Focus Lab**: Announcement and encouragement to attend the SV Focus Lab in September 2025, focusing on therapeutic pivots. 3. **Stage 2 Overview**: Stage 2 in EFT is about restructuring the bond by helping the more withdrawn partner re-engage vulnerably, followed by work with the pursuing partner to soften their approach. 4. **Step 5 Focus**: Step 5 is the most intra-psychic part of EFT, where therapists help clients access the deep, painful beliefs about themselves that have developed from negative cycles. 5. **Deadly Attachment Messages (DAMs)**: DAMs are the core negative beliefs clients hold about themselves (e.g., "I'm unlovable," "I'm stupid"), often rooted in both relationship dynamics and personal history. 6. **Stage 1 vs. Stage 2 DAMs**: In Stage 1, DAMs are often externalized (what the partner thinks of them), while in Stage 2, the focus shifts to when clients start to believe these messages about themselves. 7. **Experiential Depth**: Effective Step 5 work requires therapists to stay with clients in their pain, facilitating deep limbic (emotional) experiences rather than just cognitive insight. 8. **Therapist's Role**: Therapists must be willing to "walk into the darkness" with clients, maintaining a non-anxious, present stance to help clients feel safe enough to explore their deepest fears. 9. **Partner Acceptance and Reaching for Needs**: After accessing DAMs, the process moves toward helping the partner accept these vulnerable parts and supporting the client in reaching for comfort and connection. 10. **Patience and Repetition**: Deepening and accessing DAMs is a repetitive, patient process—therapists may need to revisit and assemble the experience multiple times before clients can fully articulate and share their pain.

Bible Reading: Psalms 104:24-28; 117:1-2"I'm ahead of you, Mom!" Kenzie called as she paddled down the river in her kayak."Kenzie, stop and look ahead of you!" Mom called back.Kenzie slowed down her kayak, noticing a bunch of branches ahead of her on the water. "What are those?" Mom moved her kayak beside Kenzie's. "I think it's a beaver dam. Let's sit here for a little bit and see if anything comes out." "Okay," Kenzie replied. She kept her eyes on the dam as she took a sip of her water. A couple minutes later, Kenzie noticed some movement. "Look, Mom.""It's an otter," Mom whispered as the pair watched the tiny animal. "Otters sometimes take over abandoned beaver dams." "It's so cute." Kenzie smiled as the otter dove into the water and swam away. "God's creation is beautiful," Mom agreed. "I love kayaking. It gives us a chance to admire all the wonderful things God has created.""We learned about that in Sunday school yesterday!" Kenzie exclaimed. "In Psalms, there's a verse that says the earth is full of the creatures God made." Mom nodded. "Another verse in Psalms says, 'Let everything that has breath praise the Lord.'" She smiled as she looked at the beaver dam. "Both verses are great reminders that God made so many things for us, and we should take the time to admire them. One way to praise God is by admiring His creation.""A lot of verses in Psalms tell us to praise God, don't they?" said Kenzie. "Yes," Mom replied. "We have so many reasons to praise God. Not only did He create the earth and all the creatures in it, He created us in His own image and sent Jesus to save us from sin and give us a relationship with Him that lasts forever. He has done so much for us, and He wants us to praise Him and enjoy the good things He's given us."Kenzie grabbed her paddle. "Let's praise Him right now by admiring His creation as we race on this nice water He made for us!" she called as she began to paddle down the river.–Kimberly BrokishHow About You?Do you take time to admire God's creation?

On this episode of Stinchfield, we shine a spotlight on Potter Valley, California — ground zero for the radical green crusade. Liberal bureaucrats are ripping out dams in the name of “saving fish,” while ranchers and farmers are left high and dry. The water that once sustained cattle, vineyards, and crops is now flushed downstream so salmon can swim free, while the people who actually feed America are forced to suffer. This is environmental extremism at its worst: politicians choosing fish over families, and ideology over common sense. The destruction in Potter Valley is just the beginning — a blueprint for how the left wants to starve out rural America under the banner of “climate justice.” I’ll expose how this green lunacy threatens our food supply, our livelihoods, and the very survival of farming communities — all so the radical left can brag about their eco-virtue signaling. www.EnergizedHealth.com/Grant www.PatriotMobile.com/Grant TWC.Health/Grant Use "Grant" for 10% Off See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The human footprint may not be easily measurable, but it is crucial in shaping the planet for better and for worse – but most of the time it is the latter. Corinna Bellizzi sits down with biologist Shane Campbell-Staton, PhD, who hosts the aptly named show "Human Footprint." He talks all about his experiences traveling around the world to delve into different human activities, cultures, and lifestyles to understand how they impact our society and environment. Shane also shares insights on how supermarkets changed the way we eat, the value of humanity's fundamental interconnectedness, the true costs of hydroelectric power, and the truth behind the bee colony collapse.About Guest:Shane is interested in how human history, culture, technology and politics influence life, biological stress and evolution of species around the world. He uses physiology, gene expression, genomics and experimentation to identify genes and traits that allow animals to rapidly adapt to new environmental pressures faced in a human-dominated world. Shane also has a deep passion for sharing science with the public. His own passion for science was kindled through television as a child. Growing up in a small town in South Carolina, he was not exposed to much nature or the outdoors. But watching nature documentaries and TV shows featuring passionate presenters, like Steve Irwin and Jeff Corwin, he developed a love for the natural world. Now Shane is sharing his own passions and the wonders of science with a diverse audience through his research as well as visual and audio media.Guest LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/shane-campbell-staton-034a1380/Guest Website: https://www.campbellstaton.com/Guest Social: https://www.pbs.org/show/human-footprint/https://www.instagram.com/shane.campbellstaton/https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-biology-of-superheroes-podcast/id1314139416https://www.tiktok.com/@pbshttps://www.youtube.com/@PBS/featuredAdditional Resources Mentioned:The Impact of Climate Storytelling with Trip Jennings and Maiya May of WEATHERED, a PBS DocuseriesThe Impact of Dams on the Health of Our Ecosystems with Steve Hawley, Author of CrackedThe Consequences of Farmed Salmon with Simen Saetre, Author of The New FishShow Notes: Raw audio00:02:37 - Shane Campbell-Staton And Human Footprint00:08:24 - What To Expect From Season 200:11:19 - How Supermarkets Changed Our Daily Lives00:13:41 - Understanding The Honey Trap And Colony Collapse00:17:49 - Insights About Hydroelectric Power00:24:50 - Appreciating Fundamental Interconnectedness00:26:52- Environmental Response To Human Footprint00:34:45 - Telling Stories About Social Justice00:46:12 - Evolving From Domination To Reciprocity00:53:39 - How To Remian Hopeful And Keep The Faith00:56:17 - Making Small Changes For The Greater Good00:59:51 - Episode Wrap-up And Closing WordsJOIN OUR CIRCLE.
