Over the past year, Europe–India relations have entered a markedly upbeat phase. What was once a diffuse partnership—long on rhetoric, short on strategy—now looks far more purposeful. From the announcement on a long-delayed EU-India Free Trade Agreement to expanding cooperation on security, technology, and migration, Europe and India appear to be—finally—converging around a shared strategic logic.To unpack what's driving this convergence—and where its limits lie—Milan is joined on the show this week by Garima Mohan. Garima is a senior fellow in the Indo-Pacific program at the German Marshall Fund based in Brussels. In this capacity, she leads GMF's work on India and serves as convenor of the India Trilateral Forum. Her research focuses on Europe-India ties, EU foreign policy in Asia, and security in the Indo-Pacific. She's also the author of a new GMF report titled, “A Long Time Coming: Europe and India have discovered a strategic partnership,” published in January 2026.Milan and Garima discuss the geopolitical drivers that are bringing the EU and India closer together, Europe's views on the limits to India's potential, and the key takeaways from the EU-India FTA. Plus, the two discuss how Russia might derail Indo-European security cooperation and the urgent need for Europe to invest in India expertise.Episode notes:1. “Europe's long-awaited free-trade deal with India,” The Economist, January 25, 2026.2.

You're not going to be one of those lawyers that only starts thinking about a focus group 30 days before the trial, right? To make the most of the power and impact of focus groups, work backwards through this three-phase roadmap that helps you plan and prepare. You will see, and feel, a remarkable difference in your confidence, arguments and ultimately, your case. Why three phases? This structure taps into the various stages of trial prep, and gives you focus groups that are appropriate and effective for the moment your case is in. Whether it's in Phase 1 (Discovery), Phase 2 (Settlement/Mediation), or Phase 3 (Trial), focus groups reflect juror attitudes, bias and weakness detection, theme and damages testing, witness credibility feedback, and help lawyers make better settlement-versus-trial decisions. Work with me to fine-tune this strategy and ensure you're getting the most out of your focus groups! Set up a free consultation today: https://www.calendly.com/elizabethlarrick In this episode, learn how: Mediation focus groups help assess case value and strategy. Running focus groups early can provide critical insights. Each focus group builds on the previous one for better results. Timing is key; don't wait until the last minute. Lawyers should commit to at least one focus group per case. I also talk in today's episode about a common misconception we have on how decisions are made for mediation.

This Day in Legal History: Hiram Rhodes RevelsOn February 25, 1870, Hiram Rhodes Revels was sworn in as the first African American to serve in the United States Senate. His election came during the turbulent Reconstruction era that followed the Civil War, a period defined by constitutional change and political uncertainty. Revels represented Mississippi, a former Confederate state that had only recently been readmitted to the Union. In a moment heavy with symbolism, he filled the Senate seat once held by Jefferson Davis, the former president of the Confederacy. The contrast between the two men reflected the profound transformation taking place in American law and government.Revels' swearing-in came after the ratification of the 13th, 14th, and 15th Amendments, which abolished slavery, guaranteed equal protection, and protected voting rights regardless of race. His presence in the Senate gave tangible meaning to those constitutional promises. Yet his path to office was not without challenge. Some senators argued that he did not meet the Constitution's nine-year citizenship requirement, claiming that the Supreme Court's decision in Dred Scott v. Sandford had denied Black Americans citizenship before the Civil War. Supporters countered that the 14th Amendment had settled the question of citizenship, making Revels eligible to serve. The Senate ultimately voted to seat him, affirming the legal force of the Reconstruction Amendments.Revels served only a brief term, but his impact was lasting. His election marked a rare window in American history when federal power was actively used to expand civil and political rights in the South. Although Reconstruction would eventually give way to decades of segregation and disenfranchisement, February 25, 1870 stands as a reminder of a constitutional moment when the nation attempted to redefine equality under the law.The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission released its first major update to its enforcement manual in eight years, outlining a new vision focused on fairness and transparency. SEC Chairman Paul Atkins described the revisions as overdue and said the agency will now review the manual annually. The updated 115-page guide provides clearer direction on how enforcement investigations will proceed and what options are available to individuals and companies under scrutiny.One key change involves the Wells process, which notifies potential defendants that SEC staff intend to recommend enforcement action. Under the revised policy, recipients of a Wells notice will have four weeks to submit a written response. After filing that response, they may request a meeting with senior leadership in the Division of Enforcement to argue against pursuing charges or to present their perspective on the case.Atkins has previously indicated that reforming the Wells process is a priority, emphasizing the need for accurate and carefully considered enforcement actions. Enforcement Division Director Meg Ryan also noted that a persuasive Wells response can influence whether commissioners ultimately approve a case. The manual further reinstates the ability of settling parties to request waivers from automatic industry bars that can follow enforcement actions. In addition, it introduces clearer guidance on how cooperation may reduce penalties and explains how the SEC may coordinate with criminal authorities. Overall, the agency says the revisions aim to clarify how it enforces federal securities laws and strengthen public confidence in the process.SEC Lays Out New Enforcement Vision In Revised Guidelines - Law360Paramount Skydance has submitted a revised proposal to acquire Warner Bros. Discovery, as a bidding battle with Netflix continues. The new offer follows the expiration of a seven-day waiver period under WBD's existing merger agreement with Netflix. For Paramount's deal to move forward, WBD's board must first determine that the revised bid qualifies as a “Company Superior Proposal” under the Netflix agreement. After that, a four-business-day match period would need to pass, the Netflix agreement would have to be terminated, and a new definitive agreement would need to be signed with Paramount.While the board reviews the updated proposal, Paramount said it will keep its tender offer in place and continue urging shareholders to reject what it calls the less favorable Netflix transaction. The rivalry between the bidders has spilled into public statements, with Paramount criticizing the structure of the Netflix deal as potentially reducing shareholder value. Netflix has pushed back, accusing Paramount of mischaracterizing regulatory issues and focusing on appearances rather than results.WBD confirmed it received the revised bid but reiterated that its current merger agreement with Netflix remains active and that the board still recommends the Netflix deal. Specific terms of Paramount's updated offer were not disclosed, though it recently added financial safeguards, regulatory commitments, and an offer to cover the breakup fee if WBD exits the Netflix agreement. Netflix's agreement to acquire WBD's studio and streaming operations is valued at about $82.7 billion, while Paramount's competing proposal to purchase the entire company is valued at roughly $108.4 billion.Paramount Revises WBD Offer As Netflix Bid War Goes On - Law360A federal judge has temporarily barred prosecutors from freely searching devices seized from a Washington Post reporter during a national security leak investigation. The FBI searched reporter Hannah Natanson's home in January and took electronic devices as part of a probe into the alleged disclosure of government secrets. Natanson, who has reported on President Donald Trump's efforts to dismiss large numbers of federal employees, has not been charged with any crime.U.S. Magistrate Judge William Porter ruled that the government may not conduct an unrestricted review of the seized materials. Instead, he said the court will oversee the examination of the devices to ensure that journalistic protections are respected while still allowing investigators to seek relevant evidence. Porter rejected the Justice Department's request to let prosecutors carry out a broad, unsupervised search.Justice Department attorneys had argued that reviewing the materials was essential to a criminal investigation involving national security concerns. They proposed using a separate FBI “filter team” to screen the data and remove irrelevant content before investigators accessed it. The judge's order reflects an effort to balance press freedom with the government's authority to pursue evidence in sensitive cases.US judge blocks search of Washington Post reporter's devices | ReutersA California woman is set to testify in Los Angeles that her early use of Instagram and YouTube harmed her mental health, in a closely watched trial against Meta and Google. The plaintiff, identified as Kaley G.M., says she began using YouTube at age six and Instagram at nine, and later struggled with depression and body dysmorphia. Her attorneys argue the companies deliberately designed their platforms to attract and retain young users despite being aware of potential psychological risks.The case is part of a broader international push to address the impact of social media on children, with some countries already imposing restrictions. Earlier phases of the trial focused on what the companies knew about the effects of their platforms on young users and how they targeted that demographic. Now the proceedings are turning to Kaley's personal experiences and whether the platforms substantially contributed to her mental health challenges.To succeed, her legal team must prove that the design or operation of the platforms was a significant factor in causing or worsening her condition. Meta has pointed to her history of family instability and alleged abuse as alternative explanations for her struggles. Her lawyer, however, referenced internal company research suggesting that teens facing difficult circumstances were more likely to use Instagram compulsively.The lawsuit also challenges features such as autoplay videos, endless scrolling, “like” buttons, and beauty filters, which the plaintiff claims encouraged prolonged use and distorted self-image. YouTube's defense argues that she did not fully use available safety tools and presented data indicating her recent average viewing time was relatively limited.Woman suing Meta, YouTube over social media addiction takes the stand at trial | Reuters This is a public episode.

Just how much longer can the Netflix vs. Paramount merger madness go on? (Cue the eye rolls.) Paramount made a fresh $31-per-share offer to acquire Warner Bros. Discovery, and WBD's response — which can be boiled down to “We're getting there, maybe” — is about as close to coquettish as a corporation can get. Meanwhile, Netflix is not-so-patiently waiting in the wings, as co-CEO Ted Sarandos wraps a weeklong press tour to convince Wall Street and Hollywood that his company's offer for WBD (which, as he'll remind you, was already accepted in December) is superior. So what happens now? Elaine Low, Natalie Jarvey and Sean McNulty answer your burning questions about the whole saga and read between the lines of Sarandos' press offensive.

Will dividends, one-off gains and Washington politics reshape market momentum this week? In this episode, hosted by Michelle Martin with Ryan Huang, we unpack why OCBC’s Q4 profit rose 3% to S$1.75 billion and what its special dividend signals about capital strength. We compare performance across Singapore’s banking trio - OCBC, DBS, and UOB - and examine why OCBC shares are outperforming. Then we turn to Singapore Airlines, where record operating revenue contrasts sharply with a steep drop in net earnings after last year’s Vistara one-off gain. From there, we assess what investors will be listening for as U.S. President Donald Trump delivers his State of the Union - tariffs, cost-of-living pressures, and election risk in focus. In UP or DOWN, we track deal tension around Warner Bros. Discovery, Paramount, Stripe, PayPal, JPMorgan Chase, and Genting Singapore, before checking whether the STI is clawing back losses.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
In today's BN Daybreak, we open with Bloomberg News Now on President Trump's first State of the Union of his second term — delivered just days after the Supreme Court overturned his emergency tariffs — as the White House sharpens its economic message ahead of the year's political battles. We then shift to the streaming wars, where Warner Bros. Discovery weighs a revised Paramount/Skydance offer — a $31-a-share cash bid — against its existing Netflix deal, with fresh negotiations now back on the table. From there it's all about Big Tech and the AI buildout: Meta is set to commit billions to AMD chips and AI systems over the next five years, underscoring the scale of the infrastructure race. In banking, JPMorgan boss Jamie Dimon warns he's seeing echoes of the pre-2008 rush for risky lending, calling out rivals for doing “dumb things”. Back in South Africa, energy expert Thomas Garner unpacks Eskom's warning that load-shedding could return in 2029 — and the political tug-of-war over an independent National Transmission Company. We close with economist Dawie Roodt's Budget preview: a possible revenue overrun, the temptation to spend windfalls, and what government should prioritise instead.

What if one of the biggest drivers of your productivity wasn't your calendar, your habits, or your willpower but the light around you? In this episode of Productivity Smarts, host Gerald J. Leonard sits down with Dr. Martin Moore-Ede, a world-leading expert in circadian biology and founder of the Circadian Light Research Center. Dr. Moore-Ede, known as "The Light Doctor," reveals a hidden productivity lever most of us overlook entirely: the light around us. We live in a world of artificial light, but not all light is created equal. Dr. Moore-Ede explains how modern LED and fluorescent lighting disrupt our internal biological clocks, leading to poor sleep, foggy thinking, weakened immune systems, and even long-term health risks. What begins as a conversation about light evolves into a fundamental discussion on human biology, explaining how the blue spectrum in everyday bulbs tells our brain it is daytime, halting vital repair processes, suppressing cancer-fighting melatonin, and throwing our entire system out of sync. Gerald and Dr. Moore-Ede explore practical, science-backed strategies to harness light for peak performance. Learn the four key pillars of a "healthy light diet," why morning outdoor time is non-negotiable, and how to choose evening lighting that will not sabotage your sleep. Discover how companies worldwide are using these principles to boost workforce productivity by over 30 percent, reduce errors, and improve safety. This episode shows how to work with your biology rather than against it. If you want to sharpen your focus, enhance your energy, sleep deeply, and unlock a new level of sustainable productivity, it starts with the light you see.

#craftbeer #netflix #warnerbros Big Jim aka James Cameron, legendary director of The Terminator, Titanic, Avatar, Aliens, and on and on and on, has taken a stand against the potential Netflix/Warner Bros. Discovery acquisition that would essentially create a TV and film monopoly. Perhaps more importantly to Mr. Cameron, it could be a critical blow to movie theaters. Will his open letter make a difference? Probably not, but we talk about the implication of media monopolies, especially when it comes to politics. Lastly, we get into controversial UFC fighter, Sean Strickland, as he called Bad Bunny a slur, degraded female fighters, and posted racist depictions of his opponent before fight night. Though some cheered on his antics, we think it may cause diminishing returns for the UFC if the political pendulum swings back and demands to root for better people. Cheers!

Interview with Charlie Greig, CEO of Metal Energy Corp.Our previous interview: https://www.cruxinvestor.com/posts/metal-energy-tsxvmerg-unlocking-ontarios-massive-lithium-potential-drilling-dec-2023-4221Recording date: 19th February 2026Metal Energy Corp (TSXV: MERG) is preparing to drill its first holes on the NIV copper-gold-molybdenum porphyry project in British Columbia's Toodoggone district, one of the province's more active mineral exploration corridors. The company is led by Charlie Greig, a veteran exploration geologist whose prior work contributed to the assembly of the GT Gold Saddle discovery — a porphyry deposit sold for approximately $450 million in 2021. Greig and his technical partner, geophysicist Alex Walcott, have been building a dataset on the NIV property since 2010, funding much of the early work themselves before bringing in outside capital.The NIV property covers roughly 5 kilometres of strike length and sits in the same volcanic and intrusive rock package that hosts established porphyry deposits elsewhere in the Toodoggone. Soil geochemistry shows elevated copper, gold, and molybdenum values running continuously along the trend, while induced polarisation surveys have identified chargeability anomalies at depth consistent with a sulphide-bearing system. Porphyry-style sheeted veining visible at surface adds further geological weight to the target. Critically, all three datasets — geochemistry, geology, and geophysics -align spatially, giving the team a well-defined set of drill targets ahead of its first program.The project has drawn strategic investment from two significant industry names. Centerra Gold, which operates a mine approximately 40 kilometres to the north, and Teck Resources have each taken a 9.9% equity stake following independent technical review. Their involvement provides both financial support and meaningful third-party validation of the project's geological merits.The 2026 drill program is expected to total between 5,000 and 6,000 metres across 10 to 12 holes. Nearby, Amarc Resources' AuRORA copper-gold discovery in the same district serves as a direct geological analogue, while an adjacent Northwest Copper drill intercept confirms porphyry-style mineralisation within 1–2 kilometres of NIV ground.View Metal Energy's company profile: https://www.cruxinvestor.com/companies/metal-energySign up for Crux Investor: https://cruxinvestor.com

"Si quieres ir al desierto, compra un Land Rover. Si quieres volver, compra un Toyota". Esta frase, que durante décadas ha circulado entre mecánicos, militares y exploradores en los rincones más inhóspitos de África y Australia, no es solo un chiste de barra de bar. Es la síntesis de una realidad que la marca británica ha intentado camuflar bajo capas de cuero premium, madera de nogal y una imagen de prestigio ligada a la Familia Real británica. Bienvenidos a una nueva entrega de nuestra serie “lo que las marcas no quieren que sepas”. Hoy vamos a desgranar los "trapos sucios" de Land Rover, una marca que parece haber perfeccionado el arte del "Síndrome de Estocolmo": te maltrata, te vacía la cuenta corriente, te deja tirado en la cuneta... pero la limpias, la miras y te vuelves a enamorar. 1. El Defender y la "Ergonomía del Potro de Tortura" Empecemos por el icono, el Defender clásico. Diseñado originalmente en 1948 para que un granjero pudiera llevar una oveja en el asiento del copiloto, su ergonomía ha permanecido casi inalterada durante casi 70 años. El problema no es solo que el volante esté descentrado respecto al asiento; es que el espacio para el conductor es inexistente. El asiento está tan pegado a la puerta que, si no conduces con la ventanilla bajada y el codo fuera, tu brazo izquierdo quedará atrapado contra tu propio costillar. 2. La Maldición de Lucas: "El Príncipe de las Tinieblas" Para entender los clásicos de la marca, hay que conocer a su proveedor eléctrico: Joseph Lucas. Durante décadas, el sistema eléctrico de estos coches fue el hazmerreír de la industria. Existe un chiste recurrente que pregunta: "¿Por qué los ingleses beben la cerveza caliente? Porque Lucas fabrica sus neveras". 3. El Range Rover P38 y el "Cerebro Mojado" En 1994, Land Rover intentó dar un salto tecnológico con la segunda generación del Range Rover, el P38. Fue un desastre de proporciones bíblicas. Fue su primer coche gestionado totalmente por electrónica, pero con tecnología inmadura. 4. El Freelander 1: El motor "Sándwich" y la IRD A finales de los 90, el Freelander fue un éxito de ventas, pero bajo el capó escondía el motor 1.8 gasolina Serie K. Este motor estaba construido por capas apretadas con pernos larguísimos que atravesaban todo el bloque. El problema es que los pernos se estiraban con el calor y las guías de la culata eran de plástico. 5. Los "Tres Amigos" del Discovery 2 Si tienes un Discovery 2, conoces a los "Tres Amigos". No son tus compañeros de rutas, sino tres luces amarillas (TC, HDC y ABS) que se encienden simultáneamente en el cuadro de mandos. Cuando esto ocurre, todas las ayudas electrónicas desaparecen. 6. La Caja de Cristal del Range Rover L322 En la era BMW, el Range Rover L322 era el epítome del lujo. Sin embargo, equipaba una caja de cambios de General Motors diseñada para coches mucho más ligeros. Land Rover cometió el error de afirmar que el aceite de la caja era “de por vida” (sealed for life). Como nada es eterno, hacia los 130.000 km la caja solía colapsar, desintegrando los discos de embrague o haciendo explotar el convertidor de par. Una factura de 4.000 euros esperaba siempre a la vuelta de la esquina. 7. La Ruleta Rusa del Cigüeñal (TDV6 y SDV6) Bajo el mandato de Ford, los Discovery 3 y 4 montaron los motores V6 diésel desarrollados con Peugeot/Citroën. Estos motores esconden un defecto oscuro y letal: debido a un fallo en los casquillos de bancada y la lubricación, el cigüeñal sufre fatiga de metal y se parte físicamente en dos. No hay aviso previo, no hay luz de aceite. 8. El Infierno del "Body Off" Para colmo, Land Rover diseñó sus coches modernos (Discovery 3/4 y Range Sport) de forma que el vano motor está tan apretado que casi cualquier reparación "sencilla" requiere separar la carrocería del chasis. ¿Quieres cambiar los turbos o la bomba de aceite? Paso 1: Levantar la cabina entera. 9. Los motores Ingenium y la Cadena "Tímida" En la actualidad, bajo Tata Motors, los problemas no han desaparecido. Los motores Ingenium diésel de 2.0 litros tienen la cadena de distribución en la parte trasera, pegada a la caja de cambios. Si la cadena se estira (un fallo común), hay que sacar el motor entero para cambiarla. Además, sufren de dilución de aceite: el gasoil extra inyectado para limpiar el filtro de partículas termina en el cárter, degradando el aceite y provocando la rotura prematura de turbos y casquillos. Conclusión ¿Odio a Land Rover? En absoluto. Me encantan. Un Land Rover tiene algo que un Toyota o un Mitsubishi jamás tendrán: carisma. Cuando funcionan, son los mejores coches del mundo. Pero no son para todo el mundo. Son coches para quienes entienden que la excelencia y el lujo británico requieren un sacrificio constante.

Michael Townsend is a researcher linked to claims of having uncovered scientific proof supporting the existence of Bigfoot (Sasquatch). His work focuses on analyzing reported physical traces, environmental patterns, and eyewitness testimony while advocating for systematic testing and biological verification. As with many such assertions in cryptozoology, discussions surrounding Townsend's claims emphasize the need for independently verified specimens, confirmed DNA, and peer-reviewed validation, placing his research within the continuing debate between field reports and accepted scientific standards.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-x-zone-radio-tv-show--1078348/support.Please note that all XZBN radio and/or television shows are Copyright © REL-MAR McConnell Meda Company, Niagara, Ontario, Canada – www.rel-mar.com.

Whitney Elkins-Hutten of PassiveInvesting.com interviews Sam Morris of LSCRE about the $44M acquisition of Discovery at West Road, a 280-unit multifamily property in Houston's Cypress submarket. Sam explains how financial—not physical—distress created the opportunity and why certainty of close mattered more than being the highest bidder. He walks through in-house due diligence, uncovering operational issues, deferred maintenance, and the decision to replace on-site management immediately after takeover. The conversation also covers the 5-year Freddie Mac fixed-rate, interest-only loan at 65% LTV, the equity raise, a 7% preferred return with a 70/30 split, and how declining insurance costs in Houston improved the deal. Sam closes by sharing why location within Cypress ISD made this asset stand out and what he'd do differently next time.
Welcome to a new segment - Revenue RewiredThe conversation delves into the shift in demand from positive to negative, impacting the sales environment and requiring upskilling of sales reps and leaders. It explores the importance of building sales skills and systems, selling against the competition, and providing consistent and daily reinforcement. The traits of elite sales reps, the use of volume, signal data, and outbound strategies, the art of discovery, and the screening of traits in sales reps are also discussed.TakeawaysDemand has shifted from positive to negative, requiring sales reps to upskill and leaders to be more cognizant of their teams.Top 1% of reps control the deal, set the agenda, define next steps, and force clarity on the decision process.The best sales reps ignore internal and deal noise, focus on high-value selling conversations, and qualify opportunities ruthlessly.Chapters00:00 The Shift in Demand and Upskilling05:07 Selling Against the Competition10:46 Traits of Elite Sales Reps22:15 The Art of Discovery

Welcome to Revenue Rewired!The conversation delves into the shift in demand from positive to negative, impacting the sales environment and requiring upskilling of sales reps and leaders. It explores the importance of building sales skills and systems, selling against the competition, and providing consistent and daily reinforcement. The traits of elite sales reps, the use of volume, signal data, and outbound strategies, the art of discovery, and the screening of traits in sales reps are also discussed.TakeawaysDemand has shifted from positive to negative, requiring sales reps to upskill and leaders to be more cognizant of their teams.Top 1% of reps control the deal, set the agenda, define next steps, and force clarity on the decision process.The best sales reps ignore internal and deal noise, focus on high-value selling conversations, and qualify opportunities ruthlessly.Chapters00:00 The Shift in Demand and Upskilling05:07 Selling Against the Competition10:46 Traits of Elite Sales Reps22:15 The Art of Discovery

more:fluentfiction.com/it/episode/2026-02-23-23-34-02-it Story Transcript:It: Il vento freddo si levava dalle pendici innevate dell'Etna, trasportando con sé il mistero di una terra antica.En: The cold wind rose from the snowy slopes of Etna, carrying with it the mystery of an ancient land.It: Giuliana, un'archeologa avventuriera dai capelli scuri e gli occhi brillanti, si fermò un momento per contemplare il vulcano, il gigante che custodiva vecchi segreti.En: Giuliana, an adventurous archaeologist with dark hair and bright eyes, paused for a moment to contemplate the volcano, the giant that guarded old secrets.It: Il suo cuore era infiammato dal desiderio di scoprire la verità dietro la scomparsa di un antico manufatto dal museo locale.En: Her heart was ablaze with the desire to discover the truth behind the disappearance of an ancient artifact from the local museum.It: Accanto a lei, Lorenzo, una guida locale con una conoscenza profonda della montagna, prese un lungo respiro.En: Next to her, Lorenzo, a local guide with deep knowledge of the mountain, took a long breath.It: L'aria era fredda, pungente, ma non riuscì a scacciare il sorriso dal suo volto.En: The air was cold, biting, but it couldn't wipe the smile off his face.It: Lui sapeva qualcosa che Giuliana non poteva immaginare, qualcosa che non aveva ancora rivelato a nessuno.En: He knew something Giuliana couldn't imagine, something he hadn't yet revealed to anyone.It: “Ami la montagna?En: "Do you love the mountain?"It: ”, chiese Giuliana, cercando di rompere il silenzio.En: asked Giuliana, trying to break the silence.It: “È parte di me”, rispose Lorenzo.En: "It's part of me," replied Lorenzo.It: Matteo, il giornalista scettico che seguiva il caso per il suo giornale, li osservava da una distanza sospettosa.En: Matteo, the skeptical journalist covering the case for his newspaper, watched them from a suspicious distance.It: Era difficile per lui fidarsi di quella guida che sembrava sapere più del dovuto.En: It was difficult for him to trust that guide who seemed to know more than he should.It: Eppure, Giuliana aveva deciso di fidarsi di Lorenzo, di seguirlo fino al cuore dell'Etna.En: Yet, Giuliana had decided to trust Lorenzo, to follow him into the heart of Etna.It: L'ascesa era ardua.En: The ascent was arduous.It: La neve rendeva i sentieri scivolosi, e la montagna mostrava la sua natura selvaggia a ogni passo.En: The snow made the paths slippery, and the mountain showed its wild nature at every step.It: Mentre si avvicinavano alla vetta, l'aria cominciò a vibrarsi di un rumore profondo.En: As they approached the summit, the air began to vibrate with a deep rumble.It: L'Etna si stava risvegliando.En: Etna was awakening.It: “Dobbiamo muoverci”, disse Lorenzo in un tono improvvisamente serio.En: "We need to move," said Lorenzo in a suddenly serious tone.It: Prese la mano di Giuliana e la guidò verso una grotta nascosta tra le rocce.En: He took Giuliana's hand and led her toward a hidden cave among the rocks.It: Matteo li seguì, ancora dubbioso, ma colto dall'urgenza del momento.En: Matteo followed them, still doubtful, but caught by the urgency of the moment.It: Dentro la grotta, alla luce tremolante di una torcia, Giuliana vide l'impossibile: il manufatto perduto giaceva lì, insieme a segni e simboli che indicavano qualcosa di più grande, una cospirazione che coinvolgeva il vulcano e la sua storia.En: Inside the cave, in the flickering light of a torch, Giuliana saw the impossible: the lost artifact lay there, along with signs and symbols indicating something greater, a conspiracy involving the volcano and its history.It: “Cosa significa tutto questo?En: "What does all this mean?"It: ” chiese Giuliana con la voce piena di

Im März 1976 setzt die kanadische Progressive-Rock-Band Rush alles auf eine Karte. Ihr viertes Studioalbum "2112" entsteht unter existentiellem Druck und wird zum Wendepunkt ihrer Geschichte. "2112" war die aller letzte Chance für Rush. Ihre beiden vorherigen Alben Caress Of Steel und Fly By Night blieben hinter den Erwartungen zurück und brachten die Band in finanzielle Schwierigkeiten, auch weil ihre komplexen Progressive-Rock-Songs kaum im Radio gespielt wurden. Eigentlich wollte ihr Label Mercury Records sie schon fallen lassen. Rush-Manager Ray Daniels schaffte es aber zum Glück, das Label mit einer kleinen Notlüge von einem weiteren Versuch zu überzeugen. Daniels schwärmte von den Ideen für "2112" , obwohl er die Musik noch gar nicht gehört hatte. Bei "2112" vertrauten Rush ganz auf ihre Intuition und kreative Freiheit und verweigerten sich bewusst den Vorgaben ihres Labels. Dieser letzte Alles-oder-nichts-Versuch ging auf und wurde zum Beweis dafür, wie weit man kommt, wenn man dem eigenen Bauchgefühl folgt. Die A-Seite des Albums erzählt eine epische Science-Fiction-Geschichte über den Widerstand des Einzelnen gegen ein übermächtiges Kollektiv. Dieses Thema passt perfekt zur Bandgeschichte, denn auch Geddy Lee, Alex Lifeson und Neil Peart galten als drei Individualisten, die erst zusammen eine einzigartige Einheit bildeten und sich bewusst gegen die kommerziellen Vorgaben der Plattenindustrie stellten. Vertont wurde die Geschichte in Form der siebenteiligen Suite "2112". Sie entwirft eine totalitäre Zukunft, in der ein Kollektiv aus Priestern und riesigen Computern die Macht übernommen hat. Als der namenlose Held der Geschichte eine Gitarre entdeckt, stellt er sich mit Musik, Kreativität und Individualität gegen das System. Der Konflikt gipfelt schließlich in einem epischen Finale – im Stück "Grand Final". Meilensteine-Redakteur Stephan Fahrig sieht in "2112" den Grundstein für den typischen Rush-Sound. Das Progressive-Rock-Album vereint viele ihrer Markenzeichen, von schnellen Taktwechseln über klar zugeordnete musikalische Motive bis zu komplexen, präzisen gespielten Arrangements. Gitarrist Alex Lifeson liefert die rhythmischen Elemente des Heldenmotivs, während die Priester durch markante Tom-Rolls im Schlagzeug gekennzeichnet sind. Gekrönt wird das Ganze vom unverwechselbaren und treffsicheren Gesang von Geddy Lee. __________ Über diese Songs vom Album "2112" sprechen wir im Podcast (12:30) – "Overture"(15:13) – "The Temples of Syrinx"(17:19) – "Discovery"(18:35) – "Presentation"(20:10) – "Oracle: The Dream"(21:25) – "Soliloquy"(22:00) – "Grand Final"(46:27) – "Something for Nothing(48:08) – "A Passage to Bangkok" __________ Alle Shownotes und weiterführenden Links zur Folge "2112" findet ihr hier: https://1.ard.de/rush2112 __________ Ihr wollt mehr Podcasts wie diesen?

“What's important for people to know is that the majority of California is actually not to the far left. We're a very purple state,” says Elaine Culotti, a self-made entrepreneur, star of Discovery's reality TV series “Undercover Billionaire,” and founder of the Mayors Matter project.On a mission to understand the root causes of California's challenges, Culotti recently went on a state-wide tour and talked to 50 out of California's almost 500 mayors as well as countless regular Californians on the way.“I've talked to people from Humboldt County, which is the very top of California, to Chula Vista, all the way into the Central Valley ... to Santa Monica and Pacific Palisades. ... And it does not matter if you have an R or a D,” Culotti said.The fifty mayors she spoke to—on both sides of the aisle—have two overarching priorities for their cities: security and economic development, Culotti said.But no matter how hard they try, they find it difficult to achieve either one. Why? Because of Sacramento, Culotti said.Most taxpayer money goes to the state government with its over half a million employees, Culotti noted. The cities receive little money but lots of crippling orders from Sacramento, and fraud at the state level is rampant, she said.When California's top politicians “are pushing downstream what's called unfunded mandates onto people, you create war in those city halls. You create war with those mayors because they are saying, ‘No, no, stop oppressing us with your mandates. We don't want to do it,'” Culotti said.“We're all being boiled to death by Sacramento,” she said.Views expressed in this video are opinions of the host and the guest, and do not necessarily reflect the views of The Epoch Times.
