As imagens chocaram a França e viralizaram no mundo inteiro: uma violenta tentativa de sequestro à luz do dia em uma rua de Paris, gravada por moradores. Três dias após o incidente que envolveu a filha de um pioneiro do setor das criptomoedas, o governo francês anunciou uma série de medidas para tentar conter um tipo de crime que vem se repetindo no país. “Me larguem!”, grita uma mulher caída em uma calçada, enquanto dois homens encapuzados tentam arrastá-la para dentro de uma van. Agarrado a ela, o marido, com o rosto ensanguentado, tenta segurá-la e é agredido por um terceiro homem. A mulher consegue pegar a arma de um dos encapuzados e jogá-la para um pedestre que se aproxima, enquanto um morador sai de um prédio segurando um extintor de incêndio e ameaça o grupo. Assustado, o trio embarca na van e foge.A cena poderia constar de um filme policial, mas aconteceu por volta das 8h da manhã de terça-feira (13), no 11° distrito de Paris. Os registros, feitos por dois moradores do alto de dois prédios da rua Pache, mostram uma situação incomum no local, um bairro calmo e seguro ao leste da capital francesa.Desde o início deste ano, esse é o quarto incidente deste tipo, visando empresários do setor das criptomoedas ou familiares. O modus operandi é o mesmo: sequestro seguido de extorsão.O último caso antes do violento incidente nesta semana em Paris, ocorreu no início deste mês, quando o pai de um proprietário de uma sociedade que gerencia criptomoedas foi sequestrado no 14° distrito de Paris, outro bairro seguro da capital francesa. A vítima teve um dedo mutilado, na tentativa de extorsão de uma quantia entre € 5 milhões e € 7 milhões. A polícia descobriu o paradeiro do refém e o resgatou. Cinco homens, com idades entre 27 e 20 anos, foram presos.Antes desses dois casos, outros três sequestros já haviam sido registrados, também visando personalidades do universo financeiro virtual na França. Em janeiro, o cofundador da empresa Ledger, David Balland, e sua companheira foram feitos de reféns no centro do país contra um pedido de resgate de € 10 milhões em bitcoins. Dez pessoas foram detidas.Alguns dias mais tarde, no leste da França, quatro pessoas foram detidas por sequestro de um operador de criptomoedas exigindo uma grande quantidade de dinheiro. Ainda em janeiro, o pai de um influenciador de moedas virtuais baseado em Dubai, nos Emirados Árabes Unidos, foi encontrado no porta-malas de um carro em Mans, no oeste.Pai de vítima denuncia “mexicanização” da FrançaA vítima da tentativa de sequestro na terça-feira em Paris não teve sua identidade divulgada. A polícia francesa apenas indicou que ela tem 34 anos e está grávida de cinco meses. O filho de dois anos do casal teria presenciado as violências, mas ele não aparece nos vídeos feitos pelos moradores.A mulher é filha de um pioneiro do setor das criptomoedas na França, Pierre Noizat, de 59 anos, diretor da empresa Paymium. Em entrevista ao canal BFMTV nesta sexta-feira (16), ele informou que a filha e o marido passam bem.Noizat também fez uma série de críticas ao governo francês, que segundo ele, não protege suficientemente “as empresas e os ricos”. De acordo com o empresário, a França está em um processo de “mexicanização”, afirmou, referindo-se ao crime organizado no México."Estamos mergulhados nisso, a violência da qual minha filha foi vítima é cotidiana para muitas pessoas na França", lamentou. Noizat também acusou os poderes públicos de laxismo, uma situação que, segundo ele "coloca todos em perigo".Governo francês anuncia medidasO ministro francês do Interior, Bruno Retailleau, se reuniu nesta sexta-feira com os grandes empresários do setor das criptomoedas na França, entre eles, Pierre Noizat, e prometeu que seriam tomadas medidas para proteger as empresas do ramo e que os responsáveis pelas ações criminosas serão encontrados e serão punidos.Logo depois, um comunicado do Ministério do Interior detalhou algumas iniciativas, como uma colaboração entre as forças de segurança e profissionais do setor. Esses empresários também terão um acesso prioritário no acionamento da polícia.Além disso, agentes do Estado inspecionarão as residências de dirigentes do ramo das criptomoedas para conferir a segurança das moradias. Os profissionais do setor, além das famílias, serão instruídos sobre como se proteger desse tipo de crime.O Ministério do Interior da França ainda promete um trabalho “aprofundado” com o setor das criptomoedas para criação de novas medidas de dissuasão a esse tipo de crime.

So fühlt sich der finale Countdown also an! Wir haben das Ende erreicht. Zumindest den Anfang vom Ende. Mit In das Licht von Claudia Gray startet die finale Welle der Hohen Republik. Nicht nur namentlich spiegelt das den einstigen Auftakt mit In die Dunkelheit wider, sondern auch inhaltlich wird ein Zirkelschluss gewagt. Dazwischen sind jedoch sehr viele Perspektivwechsel und damit oberflächliche Figurenzeichnungen versteckt, die kaum lange anhalten. Grund genug, dass Ines, Theo und Tobias genau über diesen Roman sprechen und auch identifizieren, warum weniger und dafür besser gezeichnete Figuren dem Roman gutgetan hätten. Zudem geht es um die Frage, was dieser Roman zum Gesamtprojekt so wirklich beiträgt. Außerdem sprechen wir darüber, wieso die Wookiees viel zu wenig Mitspracherecht erhalten und welche Implikationen das leider verursacht.

Blick in die Datenbank Zur Werksübersicht von In das Licht, geschrieben von Claudia Gray Der Roman erschien am 1. April 2025 unter Into the Light bei Disney Lucasfilm-Press auf Englisch Am 15. April folgte dann ein englisches Hörbuch, gesprochen von Amber Lee Connors Die deutsche Version von Panini folgt voraussichtlich am 20. Mai 2025 Die Rezensionen Ines hat das Werk nach Release rezensiert und als Hauptproblem zu viel Personal im Roman identifiziert. Für sie fehlt der Fokuspunkt und damit die charakterliche Tiefe. Sie resümiert: "Leider schafft es Claudia Gray auch in ihrer letzten The High Republic-Geschichte nicht, an die Qualität ihrer eigenständigen Romane heranzukommen, da sie sich aufgrund eines riesigen Casts an Figuren verzettelt und dabei keiner Figur genügend Aufmerksamkeit schenkt. Kombiniert mit Pacing-Schwierigkeiten fühlt sich der Roman daher in Teilen gleichzeitig gehetzt und langatmig an. Trotzdem macht es Spaß, die liebgewonnenen Figuren weiter auf ihrem Weg zu begleiten und die magische Welt von Kashyyyk zu entdecken". Tobias rezensiert nach Erscheinen dann die deutsche Version. Einen Ausschnitt aus dieser Rezension könnt ihr bereits hier lesen: "In das Licht spiegelt dem Titel nach den ersten YA-Roman der Hohen Republik – In die Dunkelheit – wider. Das erfüllt er auch inhaltlich und schließt die Klammer damit zufriedenstellend. Wie Claudia Gray das jedoch herleitet und wie sprunghaft sie in ihrer Wahl der Hauptfiguren ist, stört das Gesamtbild. Mit keiner Figur eifern wir so wirklich mit, alle sind Plot-Träger ohne viel emotionale Momente oder gar inneren Monologen. Wenn diese jedoch mal hervorstechen, wird der Wunsch nur größer, mehr darüber zu erfahren. Doch da muss schon der vierte PoV in diesem Kapitel auch noch seinen Senf dazugeben. Am Ende entsteht eine Melange, die zwar das Projekt um einen Etappensieg bereichert, selbst aber nicht zu den Werken gehört, die der Hohen Republik ihre Seele geben".

For our interview today, we're kicking things off with a special performance — here's Dez Duron singing “Why Love” from the cast recording of Maybe Happy Ending. Dez is a singer and actor you might recognize from Season 3 of The Voice. Now, he's making his Broadway debut, starring alongside Darren Criss and Helen J Shen in the critically acclaimed musical Maybe Happy Ending, and was gracious enough to sit down with Les today to discuss it all. Dez plays Gil Brentley, a smooth, fictional jazz singer whose songs echo the love story at the heart of the show. Critics are raving—the production's been named “Best Theatre of 2024” by The New York Times, The Wall Street Journal, The Washington Post, and more. Entertainment Weekly calls Dez “a captivating stage presence,” and The Guardian dubbed him “a dashing daydream.” Let's take a listen—and then we'll sit down with Dez himself.

Some products are famous because of where they come from — like Champagne from France or Scotch whisky from Scotland. Products like these are protected by something called a Geographical Indication, or GI. A GI means the product must be made in a certain place and follow certain rules. But sometimes, these rules can cause problems. In Jamaica, a new rule about Jamaican rum is causing a big debate. Skip Montreux and Dez Morgan explain what Geographical Indications are and why they are important in international business. They look at examples like Champagne and parmesan cheese and discuss how GIs help protect traditional products. They also talk about a disagreement in Jamaica, where a new GI rule for rum is causing trouble for some producers. Their conversation is a great learning resource if you want to build your English listening comprehension skills and expand your business vocabulary. Key points of their discussion include: What a Geographical Indication is and why it is different from a trademark. How GIs help local businesses and protect product quality. Why Jamaican rum producers are arguing about new GI rules. Do you like what you hear?

Aos 40 anos, Aine finalmente teve coragem de se olhar no espelho e se reconhecer. Antes disso, a vida parecia uma longa espera para morrer. Ela chegou a pesar quase 200kg porque não se aceitava enquanto uma mulher trans. Era como se, inconscientemente, estivesse destruindo o corpo que a sociedade dizia que ela devia ter, mas que ela não suportava habitar.Desde criança, Aine sabia quem era. Aos 6 anos, pediu para experimentar uma sandalinha que a prima usava, e levou uma bronca da mãe. Foi naquele momento que ela entendeu que sua identidade precisava ser escondida. Trancada no quarto, ela se vestia escondida, se olhava no espelho em segredo. Por dentro, sentia-se errada. Mas, no fundo, sabia: ela era uma menina.Com o tempo, surgiram as dúvidas, os desejos, a incompreensão de quem via nela uma amiga, mas nunca um namorado. Foi na internet que ela conheceu sua esposa, e foi com ela que começou a se libertar. Começaram como amigas, viraram namoradas e, em 2007, se casaram. Aine ainda não tinha se assumido, mas Alexandra sempre soube da sua identidade. Dentro de casa, ela já era quem sempre foi.Mas por fora, a dor era grande. A cada ano, o peso aumentava. Dez quilos por ano. Até que um médico disse: "Se você não emagrecer, não chega aos 50 anos." O baque foi tão grande que ela decidiu: precisava cuidar da saúde, não por estética, mas porque queria viver. E viver sendo quem era.Veio a bariátrica, vieram os procedimentos, a terapia, a transição, as cirurgias, o cuidado com a pele, os cabelos, o corpo. Enquanto ganhava vida, Aine perdia privilégios. A fama, que veio com o sucesso de seu canal geek no YouTube, se esfarelou muito rapidamente. Ela, que era convidada por grandes marcas como Netflix, Disney e Paramount, passou a ser ignorada. Bastou um vídeo se assumindo. Mas a internet, que antes a aplaudia, virou as costas: 6 mil inscritos a menos em um único dia. E com eles, os contratos, os convites, o sustento.Mas Aine não se arrepende. Porque hoje, ela vive. Hoje, ela é mãe. Hoje ela é a mulher da sua vida.

China is fast becoming a major player in the global pharmaceutical and biotech industries. Once focused primarily on generic and me-too drugs, Chinese companies are now making headlines with innovative breakthroughs in oncology and gene therapy. Foreign investors are taking notice, pouring billions into partnerships and research projects across the country. But can China maintain this momentum — or will political pressure and consumer skepticism slow things down? Skip Montreux and Dez Morgan explore how China's pharmaceutical and biotech sectors are reshaping the global healthcare landscape. They trace the industry's evolution from state-run factories to world-class R&D centers, discuss the surge in foreign investment, and introduce key players like Akeso Biopharma. Along the way, they also unpack some of the challenges that may lie ahead for this fast-growing industry. Their conversation is a great learning resource if you want to build your English listening comprehension skills and expand your business vocabulary. Key points of their discussion include: The difference between pharmaceuticals and biotech — and where they overlap. The rise of Chinese firms like Akeso Biopharma and their potential to rival Western Big Pharma. Key challenges facing the sector, including domestic reputation issues and foreign policy risk.
