Domenico ScarpaPrimo Levi: uniform editionEinaudi Editorewww.einaudi.itPrimo Levi: uniform editionMartedì 26 maggio sono usciti negli Einaudi Tascabili i primi quattro titoli di una uniform edition di Primo Levi. In tutto sono previsti sedici volumi, per un'operazione che verrà completata entro la primavera del 2027, quando ricorrerà un doppio anniversario: i 40 anni dalla scomparsa di Levi e i 80 anni dalla prima edizione De Silva di Se questo è un uomo.Tra i quattro volumi appena usciti c'è un inedito assoluto: Mi interessa la gente perché ne faccio parte. Dialoghi con le scuole.Questo libro, curato da Fabio Levi, raccoglie 62 corrispondenze di Primo Levi con studenti e insegnanti di tutta Italia, negli anni tra il 1973 e il 1986. Gli altri tre titoli sono Se questo è un uomo, Il sistema periodico e La chiave a stella, a cura di Domenico Scarpa, ciascuno con un corredo di Documenti e con nuovi apparati storico-critici. Il progetto grafico della uniform edition è di Fabrizio Farina, mentre a Nicola Magrin si devono il lettering del nome d'autore, che caratterizza l'intera serie e che si impone allo sguardo senza essere invasivo, nonché le copertine di Se questo è un uomo, del Sistema periodico e della Chiave a stella.Le opere che Levi pubblicò in vita, da Se questo è un uomo a I sommersi e i salvati, sono curate da Domenico Scarpa; ciascuna di esse contiene una sezione di Documenti e una postfazione che ricostruisce le vicende del libro.Con il suo prezzo di copertina contenuto e con il suo impatto grafico la uniform edition si rivolge innanzitutto a studenti e insegnanti, ma ha il suo punto di forza nella sezione Documenti e nei nuovi apparati storico-critici. L'una e gli altri offrono ai lettori e agli studiosi una quantità di inediti che solo ora emergono dagli archivi: dialoghi epistolari, prime stesure di testi (alcuni dei quali celebri, come il racconto Carbonio del Sistema periodico), retroscena editoriali. Accanto a queste novità si è tenuto a conservare alcuni testi critici tuttora essenziali, come quelli di Cesare Segre su Se questo è un uomo, di Ernesto Ferrero su La tregua, di Walter Barberis su I sommersi e i salvati, e (in appendice al Sistema periodico) l'intervista che Philip Roth realizzò con Levi nel settembre del 1986.Ai primi quattro titoli della uniform edition di Levi che sono usciti ieri si aggiungerà tra poco, in luglio, Storie naturali, la sua prima raccolta di storie di fantatecnologia e di fantabiologia (lo stesso Levi li definì «di quasi fantascienza»), che uscì nel 1966 sotto lo pseudonimo Damiano Malabaila, adottato su richiesta di casa Einaudi per non disorientare i lettori di Se questo è un uomo e La tregua. Solo a partire dal 1979 l'opera sarebbe apparsa con il nome reale dell'autore. Storie naturali verrà riproposto nell'edizione curata nel 2022 da Martina Mengoni e Domenico Scarpa, ma con una copertina appositamente realizzata da Miriam Levi, nipote dello scrittore, il cui segno è congeniale alla vena fantastico-visionaria di suo nonno. Per questa serie Miriam Levi firmerà infatti anche le copertine delle successive raccolte di storie d'invenzione: Vizio di forma (1971) e Lilìt e altri racconti (1981).Domenico Scarpa è il consulente letterario del Centro studi Primo Levi di Torino. Ha pubblicato Italo Calvino (Bruno Mondadori, 1999), Storie avventurose di libri necessari (Gaffi, 2010), Natalia Ginzburg. Pour un portrait de la tribu (Cahiers de l'Hôtel de Galliffet, 2010), Uno. Doppio ritratto di Franco Lucentini (:duepunti, 2011) e, con Ann Goldstein, In un'altra lingua (Lezioni Primo Levi - Einaudi, 2015). Ha curato il terzo volume della Grande Opera Atlante della letteratura italiana. Dal Romanticismo a oggi, edito da Einaudi (2012) e, con Roberta Mori, Album Primo Levi (2017). Inoltre, la raccolta delle Lezioni Primo Levi (Mondadori, 2019) e svariate antologie, cicli teatrali, mostre e documentari televisivi. Nel 2019 ha curato per i «Meridiani» Mondadori le Opere di bottega di Fruttero & Lucentini, mentre per Einaudi cura opere di Natalia Ginzburg e, per Sellerio, i romanzi di Graham Greene. Con Einaudi ha pubblicato anche Bibliografia di Primo Levi (2022).Diventa un supporter di questo podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/il-posto-delle-parole--1487855/support.IL POSTO DELLE PAROLEascoltare fa pensarehttps://ilpostodelleparole.it/

In this episode of More to the Story, I'm joined by New Testament scholar Dr. David A. deSilva for a rich and fun conversation about faith, vocation, and theological formation. Dr. deSilva shares his personal calling to serve the church as a scholar and reflects on how his academic work has been shaped by a desire to build up the people of God. We explore his major areas of research in the New Testament and early Christianity (commentaries, apocryphal, and archaeological studies). Along the way, David tells the story of how God gradually led him into Wesleyan theology and Methodism, helping him see the deep coherence between his scholarly commitments and a tradition shaped by holiness, grace, and discipleship. This episode is warm and genuinely fun—a conversation with someone whose work has made a lasting contribution to both the academy and the church.Youtube - https://youtu.be/GkyAyJ8QrEEAudio - https://andymilleriii.com/media/podcastApple -  https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/more-to-the-story-with-dr-andy-miller/id1569988895?uo=4If you are interested in learning more about my two full-length video-accompanied courses, Contender: Going Deeper in the Book of Jude andHeaven and Other Destinations: A Biblical Journey Beyond this World , visit andymilleriii.com/coursesAnd don't forget about my most recent book, Contender, which is available on Amazon! Five Steps to Deeper Teaching and Preaching - Recently, I updated this PDF document and added a 45-minute teaching video with slides, explaining this tool.

David and Jasmine speak with Gitane De Silva, formerly Alberta's senior representative to the United States and CEO of the Canada Energy Regulator, with deep experience in international negotiations and Canada–U.S. relations. Gitane describes how international diplomatic negotiations are unique but also how the techniques and strategies share many similarities with legal and business negotiations. The conversation breaks down how complex negotiations work, from trade agreements to energy policy, and the level of precision, patience, and stakeholder alignment required. It also explores the shift toward more protectionist, country-first strategies and how that is changing global dealmaking.A core theme is that successful negotiation comes down to trust, emotional control, and understanding the other side's motivations. Practical techniques are shared for staying composed, avoiding escalation, and finding common ground in difficult conversations. The episode also highlights how cultural differences influence negotiation styles and why adapting language and perspective is key to influencing outcomes. At its core, persuasion is human, and those who can connect, listen, and stay grounded tend to achieve better results.https://perkinscoie.com/insights/publication/settlement-counsel-services

Apologies for the slow start to 2026! Something big is coming soon. Stay tuned for the announcement next week. Whilst waiting, you can enjoy one of my all-time favourites from the archives.A lot of the recent episodes have mentioned the impact of bipedalism in the human story, but the remarks have hardly done justice to the depth of the matter. Jeremy DeSilva did it justice.Enjoy! ORIGINAL SHOW NOTESHumans are odd in many ways. But perhaps the oddest of our features is our upright posture. We walk on two legs. And we are the only mammal to do so. So why do we walk upright? And why does it matter? Jeremy DeSilva is a fossil expert and a professor of paleoanthropology at Dartmouth College. He is also the author of a remarkable book, aptly titled First Steps: How Upright Walking Made Us Human DeSilva's treatment of the subject is sweeping: while tracing the journey of human posture, he draws remarkable links between bipedalism and many facets of the human condition, from difficult births to complex language and from lower back pains to the beauty of friendships.In this episode, we talk about questions such as:What Darwin got right and wrong about the role of walking in human evolution When and why did we start walking upright?Why the common picture of human evolution is wrong - and what would be a better pictureWhy walking makes us fragileHow our ancestors survived bone fractures - and why this is a big deal Why is human birth so difficultWhy walking is so good for us: introducing the “myokines”What studying the human journey has taught DeSilva about our species_________Please consider becoming a supporter of On Humans.

From humble beginnings in his native Sri Lanka, to a more than 40 year academic career at Queen's University Belfast, Prof. AP (Amilra Prasanna) De Silva's research into molecular photosensors has led to a pioneering career in that's evolved from chemistry to medical diagnostics on one hand, to information processing on the other. Prof. De Silva challenged cultural expectations and overcame the lack of opportunities in chemistry that were available in Sri Lanka in the early 1970s. He first moved to Belfast to pursue research in photochemistry at Queen's University. Inspired by his grandmother's struggle with high blood pressure he engineered a unique sodium photosensor by marrying fluorescent molecules with chemical receptors. As a result of his international collaborations, a commercial, portable sensor was developed to detect salts and minerals in the blood. Its speed of analysis has since saved countless lives and improved healthcare around the world. AP talks to Jim Al-Khalili about his passion for engineering molecules and how his photochemical innovations have since crossed into computer science. They've been developed to perform molecular computations far inside the human body - where silicon microchips fear to tread. A new deeper understanding of life inside our tissues and cells beckons.

"I grew up and I became vegetarian listening to punk albums because there was a real punk scene which talked about vegetarianism, which talked about veganism, which talked about the peace movement. And that really influenced me. And there was one record specifically by a band called, Conflict that I listened to and I went vegetarian, and that's the power of music. You know, it's not traditional advocacy. So in a way, I'm kind of paying homage to how I got into animal rights. And I want this album not to be a traditional advocacy tool." - Gemunu de Silva  For nearly four decades, Gemunu de Silva has gone where almost no one else will: inside factory farms, slaughterhouses, fur farms, laboratories, and the hidden corners of global animal industries. Gem is one of the world's most experienced undercover investigators, his work has exposed cruelty across six continents, helped shut down industries and change laws, saving millions of animals in the process. But after 37 years of investigations, he began to realize something unexpected. It wasn't only the images that stayed with him. It was the sounds. The outcry of the animals, the hum of machinery, the clatter of metal, the silence and the noise that animals are forced to live inside every day. In this conversation, Gem joins us to talk about his most unconventional project yet, Industry Standard, an album built from real recordings gathered during decades of undercover investigations. Part music, part journalism, part art, the record captures the industrial soundscape of animal exploitation in a way that no one has ever done before. It's not just an album — it's evidence. And once you hear it, you can't unhear it. Links:  https://www.tracksinvestigations.org/industrystandard https://bandcamp.com/private/P0OU3NM2   INDUSTRY STANDARD:  Advocacy and Use - Sound as a Tool for Change Industry Standard is more than an album. It is a resource for advocacy, education, and campaigning. Built on authentic field recordings from investigations, it offers a new way to engage audiences emotionally and viscerally, especially in spaces where imagery may not be possible, appropriate, or effective. This is sonic storytelling with a purpose. Each track bears witness to real places, real animals, and real suffering, but also offers a reflective space to process, feel, and act.   Ways to Use the Album Podcasts, Radio, and Media We welcome opportunities for interviews, audio features, or creative collaborations. Gemunu de Silva is available to talk about the making of the album, the field recording process, and how it connects to broader investigations and activism. Exhibitions and Installations Industry Standard can be adapted for gallery and museum settings. The tracks can be played with or without accompanying visuals. We can also provide the full eight-page insert artwork for display or digital projection. Outreach and Awareness The album can be shared at stalls, events, and festivals, either as a conversation starter or as part of a deeper listening experience. QR codes to the album and visuals can be printed on flyers, zines, or posters. Campaigning The sounds and visuals can be paired with specific investigations or issues to deepen public understanding. They are especially powerful in campaign launches, press events, or screenings. Education and Talks Use the tracks in schools, universities, or activist training settings to highlight the realities behind animal industries in a unique and memorable way. Listening together can be a powerful shared act of learning.   Get Involved If you are part of an animal group, educational body, media outlet, or cultural space and would like to use Industry Standard, please get in touch. We can help tailor the experience to your needs.

Alex De Silva with AccuWeather gives us an update Hurricane Melissa.

I sit down with my friend Stephen De Silva, creator of The Prosperous Soul and former CFO at Bethel Church. We talk about something most men never realize — that our financial struggles are rarely about money. They're about what's happening inside our hearts and minds. Stephen helps us unpack the connection between the soul and wealth, revealing how your mindset and theology can either limit or multiply what God wants to do in your finances.I share a bit of my own story — moments when I thought “we just need more money,” but the truth was, I hadn't planted any new seeds. There was no stewardship, no multiplication, just waiting for a miracle. Stephen challenges that mindset head-on, teaching how to align our internal world with the mind of Christ, and how to grow capacity through protection, provision, and identity. We talk practicals too: creating multiple streams of income, overcoming fear around money, and learning to be both shrewd as a serpent and innocent as a dove.If you've ever felt stuck financially or wondered how to build true prosperity that lasts for generations, this conversation will light a fire in you. Whether you're trying to climb out of debt, launch a new income stream, or teach your kids how to steward money God's way, this is your roadmap to becoming a man who prospers from the inside out.

As the Aug. 1 trade deadline approaches, Donald Trump's administration is threatening to hike tariffs on non-CUSMA-compliant Canadian goods from 25 to 35 per cent, while leaving existing levies on potash and energy unchanged. Gitane De Silva, former Canada Energy Regulator CEO and Alberta's ex-representative in Washington, doubts a deal will be struck by Friday. She says Canada is smart to keep negotiations focused and quiet, while leveraging its deep economic integration with the U.S.De Silva urges Ottawa to avoid broad retaliation but suggests targeted responses and shifts in consumer behaviour are already shaping U.S. decisions. She questions whether Trump even wants a short-term deal, given his push to renegotiate CUSMA. Canada, she argues, should aim for certainty in key sectors like autos and energy while being realistic about what it may need to concede. Despite the turbulence, she's cautiously optimistic Canadians are adapting to a new era of trade uncertainty.At home, De Silva weighs in on Alberta's push for a new pipeline to Prince Rupert, B.C., calling it feasible but dependent on meaningful backing from both levels of government. She says regulatory clarity under Bill C-5 is lacking, and Indigenous consultation — especially in B.C.'s unceded territories — remains a key challenge. She suggests Ottawa could seek legal clarity via a Supreme Court reference. Despite the obstacles, she sees this as a moment for Canada to assert its value as a reliable supplier of food, fuel and stability in a shifting global landscape.Host: Rob Brown | Producer & editor: Falice Chin | Guest: Gitane De Silva

Udhara de Silva, who leads loyalty marketing for Singapore Airlines in Australia, walks through the launch and rapid growth of Kris+, the digital rewards app that enables members to earn and spend miles in restaurants and retail stores – a first for any airline rewards app outside of Singapore. The discussion tracks why Australia was chosen as the testbed, the challenges of localizing a QR-based payment app in a card-centric market, and the dual work of building merchant trust and user habits from zero. Udhara details what drives engagement, how to “double dip” on points, and why genuine merchant partnerships matter more than technical bells and whistles. Listeners get insight into evolving loyalty marketing tactics, campaign strategies, and the real mechanics of building an airline's everyday brand.Questions Udhara answered in this episode:Why did Singapore Airlines expand Kris+ to Australia first?What unique challenges come with launching a QR code–based payment app in Australia?How do you pitch and onboard merchants before an app is live?What technical features make Kris+ easy for partners to adopt?What's different about marketing an airline app versus a retail loyalty app?What tactics actually drive repeated use and engagement?What does merchant “densification” mean, and why is it critical?How does Kris+ expand the loyalty audience beyond high-income credit card holders?What's next for Kris+ in Australia and globally?Timestamp:2:00 – Scope of KrisFlyer: Australia's place in the global member base3:00 – The origins and purpose of Kris+5:30 – How Kris+ works: earning, spending, “double-dipping” on miles6:00 – Selecting Australia: market sophistication and loyalty culture9:00 – Pitching and onboarding merchants, early business development12:10 – Overcoming the QR code adoption barrier15:10 – Building merchant trust with low technical overhead16:00 – Tactics for engagement: push notifications, highlight tiles, gamified challenges17:00 - Kris+ challenges18:00 – Advice for marketers launching in new regions20:00 – The future: merchant densification, market expansion, next stepsQuotes:(3:30) “It's a custom-built app. You scan a QR code, enter the amount, and you get to decide whether you want to either spend your miles that you might have earned from a flight, or you can pay with Apple or Google Pay, and then you earn miles on that transaction. You're double dipping.” (13:00) “There are certain high-volume merchants where they have started educating and frontliners have started educating partners. But it's a combination of factors, I think. We're very mindful of the fact that QR codes aren't mainstream yet, and so it's a bit of a slow burn.”  (14:10) “Tailoring the message to the Australian voice, the Australian landscape, the whole lack of familiarity with QR codes — that was something we had to really learn from the ground up.” Mentioned in this episode:Udhara de Silva's LinkedInKris+ (Singapore Airlines digital rewards app)KrisFlyer frequent flyer programContact for merchant/partner queries: krisplusau@singaporeair.com.sgBrunetti (Melbourne café, case study for merchant adoption)

I found evidence that the whole earring thing was a con. It should clear up any doubt you may have had...and is quite juicy! But not as juicy as the wild encounter alleged by Will Smith's former personal assistant between Will and Duane Martin. Then, I'm joined by the star of RHONY Sai DeSilva! Definitely not the person you saw on your TV...in all the best ways! We get into the rumors swirling around social media about how she met her husband. Why did Jenna Lyons not attend BravoCon? Sai shares how being on the show has changed her life, and how she plans to navigate next season. Enjoy!
