Pastor JD explains how Habakkuk goes from questioning God to praising God as he now sees through the lens of his renewed faith, which comes from hearing God's Word concerning what he just couldn't see or understand prior.

The finite developments theorem in pure lambda calculus says that if you select as set of redexes in a lambda term and reduce only those and their residuals (redexes that can be traced back as existing in the original set), then this process will always terminate.  In this episode, I discuss the theorem and why I got interested in it.

La puntata 155 si apre con le scuse per il ritardo della scorsa settimana, condite da un discorso a cui tengo molto, sulla sensibilità, l'equità, il rispetto reciproco. Poi continua commentando l'update delle AirPods Max con la porta USB-C, rinnovando la mia felicità nel leggere “I miserabili”, raccontando della puntata 85 di Tenero Gheriglio che tempo fa è stata cancellata. Infine termina con un'anticipazione sull'organizzazione del podcast nelle prossime settimane.• AirPods Max update: https://www.apple.com/newsroom/2025/03/lossless-audio-and-ultra-low-latency-audio-come-to-airpods-max/Canale Telegram: https://t.me/miry1919CONTATTITelegram: @miriananovellaInstagram: @miry_geekX (Twitter): @Miry1919Mastodon: @miriananovella@mastodon.socialyoutube.com/@miriananovellaDONAZIONE libera su Satispay: https://miry1919.github.io/hugosite/donors/

I read from finish to Finno-Ugric.     "Finite difference" seems to be related to math too advanced for me.  https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Finite_difference     In basic terms, it seems like "finlandization" is when a more powerful country says that a less powerful, nearby, smaller country can't argue against them, but the smaller country is still independent.  https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Finlandization     Here are the Finno-Ugric languages. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Finno-Ugric_languages     The word of the episode is "fink".     Use my special link https://zen.ai/thedictionary to save 30% off your first month of any Zencastr paid plan.    Create your podcast today! #madeonzencastr     Theme music from Tom Maslowski https://zestysol.com/     Merchandising! https://www.teepublic.com/user/spejampar     "The Dictionary - Letter A" on YouTube   "The Dictionary - Letter B" on YouTube   "The Dictionary - Letter C" on YouTube   "The Dictionary - Letter D" on YouTube   "The Dictionary - Letter E" on YouTube   "The Dictionary - Letter F" on YouTube     Featured in a Top 10 Dictionary Podcasts list! https://blog.feedspot.com/dictionary_podcasts/     Backwards Talking on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLmIujMwEDbgZUexyR90jaTEEVmAYcCzuq     https://linktr.ee/spejampar dictionarypod@gmail.com https://www.facebook.com/thedictionarypod/ https://www.threads.net/@dictionarypod https://twitter.com/dictionarypod https://www.instagram.com/dictionarypod/ https://www.patreon.com/spejampar https://www.tiktok.com/@spejampar 917-727-5757

There's only so much you can do in a week – or, according to Oliver Burkeman, in the roughly 4,000 weeks the average human lives. Oliver is a journalist and author of the books Four Thousand Weeks: Time Management for Mortals, Meditations for Mortals, and the newsletter “The Imperfectionist.” Chris and Oliver discuss the paradox of why change can only occur once we accept that we might not be able to change. Oliver also shares how life's mishaps can become our most treasured memories and why sharing your imperfections is an act of generosity.For the full text transcript, visit go.ted.com/BHTranscripts Hosted on Acast.

The transformative power in conversion and salvation flows backward, redeeming all of our life, so that the end is in the beginning. Our finite lives make sense as they are stretched out in the beginning and end that is Christ. This self-transcendence is realized in being woken up religiously to the love of God, morally to others, intellectually to the cosmic Christ, and psychically or emotionally to the fruits of the spirit. Sign up for the upcoming class, "Lonergan & the Problem of Theological Method." The course will run from the weeks of February 16th to April 11th. Also sign up for Sin and Salvation: An in-depth study of the meaning of sin and a description of the atonement as a defeat of sin and the basis of an alternative community in Christ. This course will run through the beginning of February to the end of March.   Register here https://pbi.forgingploughshares.org/offerings If you enjoyed this podcast, please consider donating to support our work.

Go to www.LearningLeader.com for full show notes of The Learning Leader Show Sign up for "Mindful Monday" (it's free) - https://ryanhawk.kit.com/profile My guest for episode #618 is Chase Jarvis. Chase is a photographer, director, artist, and entrepreneur. He was the CEO of an online education platform called Creative Live from 2014 to 2022. He's earned countless awards for his photography and creative work including a Pulitzer Prize for a New York Times story he contributed to called “Snow Fall.” He's also the author of multiple books including Creative Calling and Never Play It Safe. Notes: Opening Joke: "What has 52 teeth and holds back a monster?" We are all wildly creative. It is trained out of us as we grow older. Creativity is foundational to all human beings. It's on us to tap into our creativity and get it out of us to help solve problems, to create optionality, and to be innovative. Regardless of your job, becoming more creative will make you better at it. Play infinite games with transformational people. It seems like when we give to others, genuinely try to help them, and have a service orientation, good things happen to all. There are transactional people and transformational leaders. Let's strive to be transformative and play the long game with high-character people.  Transactional leaders are infuriating. Transformational leaders are inspiring. “A bird sitting on a tree is never afraid of the branch breaking, because its trust is not on the branch, but on its own wings.” Believe in yourself and your ability to bounce back if the thing doesn't go your way. Set up a series of experiments. Not all of them will work. You'll be better for having tried, and tried again, and then again. We learn from both our successes and our failures. Initially, Chase planned to attend medical school after graduating from undergrad. A few weeks before his graduation, his grandfather died and left all his photography equipment to his grandson. “Security is mostly superstition. It does not exist in nature, nor do the children of men as a whole experience it. Avoiding danger is no safer in the long run than outright exposure. Life is either a daring adventure or nothing.” - Helen Keller "Safety is an illusion. It does not exist in nature, so why then do we seek it? "Playing it safe is about fear. And fear is only optimized for survival--not creativity, happiness, joy, connection, harmony, fulfillment, or any of the gifts you have to give or receive in this life." Intuition is everything. What if we started paying attention to that? "I don't know why they call us founders. I didn't find anything. I built that shit. We are builders." There are 7 basic levers for life: Attention Time – NYU Professor James Carse. Finite and infinite games. Treat life like an infinite game. What's the difference between systems and schedules? (why are systems better?) Intuition – The benefits of compounding trust. Chase's wife Kate. First met on a beach just after high school. Sparks were present, but no fire. “She had a special quality I couldn't quite place.” Went to college 1,500 miles apart. All along it was your intuition that kept you on notice.  How do you know when it's your intuition speaking? Why is playing it safe the riskiest thing we can do Constraints - What can we learn about constraints from Stefan Sagmeister? Play -  What can we learn about play from Novak Djokovic? Failure - Melissa Arnot Reid – Replaces the word “fail” with the word “live” – Instead of saying “I'm afraid to fail. She says I'm afraid to live.” Practice - Purposeful practice. Anders Ericsson Keynote speaking - Don't be a robot. Have fun. Let it rip. Results are better in a better state of mind. Do tiny experiments when the stakes are low.

Note dell'episodio Italian Conversation Phrases (For Absolute Beginners) - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xqCiQc7auqU Iniziamo con una parola un po' strana usata subito da Matteo: Cioncarsi - vuol dire mozzare e si usa, specialmente al sud, in frasi come: mi sono cioncato di freddo - che vuol dire mi sono spezzato, mozzato dal freddo. Ma "bando alle ciance"! iniziamo con la puntata, con un famoso ponte, in una famosa città, disegnato da un famoso architetto. Indovinato? Il ponte di Calatrava a Venezia. Un bel ponte, ma a quanto pare un po' pericoloso. E quindi sostituiranno il vetro con pietra. E quindi niente più ponte di vetro! https://arte.sky.it/news/2024/venezia-ponte-calatrava-pietra Altre parola usata da Matteo, oggi è in grande spolvero... Annoso - che è durato o dura da molti anni. Poi vi portiamo in giro per l'Italia, questa volta in autobus, per alcuni comodo ed economico, per altri un po' più scomodo, soprattutto se ti trovi su quello sbagliato e sei costretto a scendere in mezzo all'autostrada. Cose da pazzi! Ma a chi è successo? Curiosi? Concludiamo con un piccolo borgo in Sicilia, un borgo d'arte che è stato una ottima idea di un imprenditore. Ma come è andata la storia? Trascrizione Matteo: [0:23] Buongiorno! Raffaele: [0:24] Buongiorno, Matteo! Matteo: [0:25] Come va? Raffaele: [0:26] Anche a te la sigla fa i capricci? Matteo: [0:29] No. Perché? Che succede? Raffaele: [0:31] Un po' ballerina questa sigla. Mi andava veloce, mi andava lenta... Matteo: [0:36] È il freddo, il freddo ha congelato tutti i collegamenti e quindi è un po' ballerino tutto internet oggi. Raffaele: [0:46] E sì, freddo, vento, stamattina c'è tantissimo vento qui a Napoli, nuvoloni che coprono il sole, ieri c'erano nuvoloni che coprivano le stelle. Non riuscivo a vedere le stelle. Matteo: [0:59] Invece noi qui le vediamo ma ci cionchiamo di freddo. Forse questo è anche un po' dialettale come modo di dire. Raffaele: [1:12] E credo sia solo comprensibili ai campani. Matteo: [1:15] Sì. E comunque abbiamo molto freddo, ovviamente rispetto a quello che c'è di solito, non rispetto... (Non sento mai freddo, neanche quando racconto le peggiori freddure.) Raffaele: [1:25] Ma chi è? Abbiamo invitato qualcuno al podcast e non lo so? Matteo: [1:30] No, sta succedendo di tutto... Il mio tablet che uso per prendere gli appunti per la nostra puntata, ha deciso di rispondere a quello che stavo dicendo, non so per quale motivo. Quindi lui non ha freddo, però io sì. Raffaele: [1:50] Mattinata complicata, eh, Matteo? Matteo: [1:52] Molto complicata, molto complicata. Raffaele: [1:55] In tutto questo io ti avevo fatto l'assist per le stelle: non vuoi raccontarci qualcosa che riguarda alcune stelle? Matteo: [2:02] Voglio proprio raccontarvi qualcosa. Prima di partire volevamo dirvi di lasciarci tante stelle, perché così anche Raffaele che non può vederle perché è nuvoloso e non riesce a vederle... ma anche per diffondere di più il podcast e cercare di farlo sentire a tutti e ascoltare a tutti. Quindi tante stelline e lasciateci anche una bella review e in questo modo potremo diffondere il podcast di Easy Italian a tutti. Ma ora partiamo! Raffaele: [2:47] E dove andiamo? Matteo: [2:49] Partiamo da nord, vicino casa. Raffaele: [2:52] Partiamo da nord, sì, diciamo che questa puntata sarà un lungo viaggio, come spesso facciamo, da nord a sud. Partiamo da nord, partiamo da Venezia. Se fa freddo a Napoli, potete immaginare a Venezia. Matteo: [3:08] E quando fa freddo, troppo freddo, soprattutto in città d'acqua... Raffaele: [3:13] Poi è una città molto umida, è una città lagunare, quindi potete immaginare che soprattutto di notte e nelle prime ore del mattino si forma sempre un po' di ghiaccio, ma non in tutta la città, ma in un punto particolare. Dobbiamo parlare, dobbiamo affrontare il problema del ponte di Calatrava. Conosci quest'opera? Matteo: [3:37] Sì, abbastanza famosa e anche quasi subito visibile a Venezia. Raffaele: [3:46] Se arrivi dalla stazione, sì. Matteo: [3:47] Sì, sì, è un po' strano. (Perché strano?) Beh, perché rispetto a tutta Venezia, è molto moderno. Raffaele: [4:00] Eh sì. Noi parliamo di Venezia, uno si aspetta di sentir parlare di arte, di storia... Invece qui parliamo di architettura e design. E non vuol dire che Venezia non può essere moderna, però è un matrimonio non sempre facilissimo. E il design secondo me non è neanche il problema maggiore di questo ponte, Allora, in ordine, come dici tu, si vede subito se arrivi alla stazione di Santa Lucia, perché questo ponte collega proprio la stazione a Piazzale Roma. Ha diversi nomi, in realtà si chiama Ponte della Costituzione, lo chiamano quasi tutti Ponte di Calatrava perché l'architetto è quello che oggi si chiama un archistar, cioè un architetto star, ovvero Santiago Calatrava. Spagnolo. Ma in tanti lo chiamano il ponte di vetro, perché una delle caratteristiche di questo ponte super moderno è che è fatto tutto in [vetro] ed acciaio. Anche i gradini sono in buona parte fatti di vetro. E già insomma con la premessa che abbiamo fatto all'inizio con il freddo e il ghiaccio, sai già dove stiamo andando a scivolare... Matteo: [5:26] Scivoliamo tutti quanti sul ponte che diventa improvvisamente un ottimo punto per gli slittini. Raffaele: [5:33] È proprio quello che hanno affermato negli anni diversi cittadini: sembra quasi una disciplina delle olimpiadi invernali. Prova a non scivolare sul ponte di Calatrava, se arrivi dall'altro lato vinci un premio. Alcuni hanno fatto i paragoni con le piste di pattinaggio. Insomma è un ponte che, ti devo dire la verità, non è nato benissimo. Già dal principio i costi sono stati molto elevati, già di base sono stati più alti di quello che era stato messo a preventivo, si è arrivati a superare la decina di milioni di euro per un ponte di circa 100 metri. E insomma anche per il discorso artistico che dicevamo inizialmente, che fa un po' a cazzotti questa struttura super moderna con una città storica come Venezia. Ma questo ponte è tornato a far parlare di sé proprio nelle ultime settimane perché le persone continuano a scivolare, continuano a cadere. Matteo: [6:40] E non vincono nessuna medaglia... Perché dicono "Scusate, però qua facciamo questa disciplina olimpica ma almeno una medaglia alla fine..." Raffaele: [6:49] Pensa che negli anni per aiutare i partecipanti [di] questa disciplina le hanno provate tutte. Hanno provato a mettere del sale sui gradini per evitare la formazione di ghiaccio ma niente da fare. Hanno persino messo, sai, queste striscioline ruvide antiscivolo che trovi spesso nelle stazioni? Le hanno messe proprio sui gradini. E tu puoi immaginare, un ponte che è costato sopra i 10 milioni di euro e poi metterci lo scotch sopra, non è proprio il massimo. E nonostante tutto si scivolava e le strisce non aderivano bene. E quindi Matteo c'è stata un'unica soluzione da prendere in considerazione. (Tolgono il ponte!) No, non è una soluzione così drastica, sarebbe davvero un peccato. Però tolgono una parte del ponte, tolgono i gradini in vetro, che saranno sostituiti con dei gradini in pietra. Sì, una pietra molto particolare che prende il nome di trachite... Io non so come funziona la trachite: mi auguro che non faccia scivolare la gente. Matteo: [8:01] Quella che conosco io è una scocciatura: ti fa male la gola, non riesci a parlare... Raffaele: [8:08] Matteo, quella è la tracheite, che è l'infiammazione della trachea, che è una parte della gola. Ma questa che mettono a Venezia non è il mal di gola a terra... ma è la pietra per evitare che le persone... scivolino... è scivolata anche la mia lingua. E quindi alla fine un'altra spesa, quindi un milione e mezzo di euro. Una spesa extra che si aggiunge al fatto che originariamente questo ponte era stato pensato anche per far attraversare i disabili. C'era una cosiddetta ovovia, ovvero una sorta di trenino a forma di uovo, per trasportare persone disabili da un lato all'altro. Ha avuto più problemi del ponte questa ovovia ed è stata rimossa qualche anno fa. Che ne pensi tu di tutta questa storia? Matteo: [9:06] E mi dispiace, è un ponte che non decolla, che da un certo punto di vista è buono, però non so. Il problema è che quando si vuole fare qualcosa di artistico e contemporaneamente utile, ci vogliono altro che i Calatrava, ci vogliono i Da Vinci. Cioè nel senso, non basta essere un archistar, devi essere quasi un genio per riuscire ad arrivare a creare qualcosa di artisticamente bello e contemporaneamente utile per una città che ospita migliaia, anzi milioni di persone all'anno. Quindi non stiamo parlando di un paesino o di una città normale, stiamo parlando di Venezia. Raffaele: [10:04] Io penso che il punto sia sempre quello. Adesso non mi voglio sostituire agli architetti, ma io penso che il punto sia sempre quello che quando fai un'opera d'arte che viene esposta in un museo, allora deve essere bella o suscitare una riflessione. Ma in questo caso stiamo parlando di architettura pratica, un ponte sul quale le persone ci dovranno salire, dovranno salire e scendere senza cadere, quindi bisognerebbe sempre mettere al primo posto la praticità di un'opera e al secondo posto tutti gli abbellimenti architettonici e così via. Se facciamo il contrario rischiamo di dover fare le cose due volte o persino più volte. Matteo: [10:52] Sì, purtroppo è un problema, un annoso problema, un problema... questo annoso già lo abbiamo incontrato. Raffaele: [11:04] Che vuol dire annoso? Ecco qua, lo hai detto, adesso annoso cosa vuol dire? Matteo: [11:09] Che è un problema che c'è da tanto tempo, da anni, cioè... che... no? Raffaele: [11:15] Sì, sì, sì, che si trascina da molto tempo. Matteo: [11:18] Che si trascina da molto tempo per, in questo caso anni, direi anche secoli. E ovvero il riuscire a far coesistere arte e utilità, però secondo il mio modestissimo e ignorante parere se si vuole fare una cosa del genere si dovrebbe prima partire dall'utilità, come hai detto tu, e poi abbellire questa utilità. Nel momento in cui si fa il contrario, e in questo caso capisco anche perché si fa il contrario, perché Calatrava ha un suo stile, e parte dal suo stile. Raffaele: [11:58] Sì, ma sai, a Venezia i ponti ci sono sempre stati. Poche città come Venezia al mondo sanno fare i ponti. Perché prendere un architetto che ha come particolarità quella di fare ponti ultramoderni in vetro e acciaio, quando bastava fa re un ponte più semplice eumile, più economico, magari anche abbellito esteticamente, ma più in sintonia con l'estetica della città e più pratico per i cittadini stessi? Matteo: [12:30] È vero, bastava andare un po' in giro per l'Italia, forse trovavamo anche qualche esempio giusto. Raffaele: [12:38] Ci sto. Torniamo indietro, non attraversiamo il ponte, torniamo in stazione ma invece del treno, prendiamo un autobus. Matteo: [12:51] Allora, in autobus in giro per l'Italia è una cosa simpatica, però è stancante, eh? Vi avverto... Raffaele: [12:59] Fino a un certo punto. Matteo: [13:01] È un po' stancante. Raffaele: [13:03] C'è però chi lo deve fare, che non ha tante alternative. Certo, l'alternativa è sempre il treno, ma il treno per lunghi tragitti è sicuramente una forma più cara rispetto all'autobus. Oggi si può viaggiare in autobus comodi, seduti, con la presa della corrente, con il wifi, da nord a sud grazie a compagnie come... Flixbus. Matteo: [13:30] Questa puntata non è sponsorizzata da Flixbus, vogliamo specificare. Lo capirete più avanti. Raffaele: [13:39] Sì, sì, non siamo stati pagati né per parlarne bene né per parlarne male, a dir la verità. Però questa storia riguarda proprio un viaggio della speranza, un viaggio in autobus. Parliamo di un giovane ragazzo pugliese, Giuseppe De Nicolo, che è un 19enne pugliese che è andato in Trentino-Alto Adige per lavorare durante le vacanze [natalizie]. Finite queste sue settimane lavorative, decide di ritornare a casa. E prenoto un autobus che da Trento, quindi estremo nord, l'avrebbe dovuto portare a casa vicino Bari. Purtroppo però i giorni delle vacanze sono giorni di molto traffico, poi ecco c'è il freddo, il ghiaccio e così via... Gli autobus in quelle giornate subivano dei fortissimi ritardi. Fatto sta che l'autobus prenotato di fatto viene annullato, non partirà. E Giuseppe si trova nella difficoltà di capire come fare adesso per tornare a casa. Era tra l'altro un autobus notturno, quindi senza prenotazione alberghiera per la notte, come fai? Trova un'alternativa: c'è un altro autobus che fa la stessa tratta, però con cambio autobus a Bologna. Quindi Trento-Bologna, a Bologna scendi, prendi un altro autobus e fai Bologna-Bari. Tutti contenti, no? Matteo: [15:12] Eh, sì? Raffaele: [15:14] Il problema è che il biglietto era valido solo per quella corsa senza cambi. E allora l'autista di questo autobus Trento-Bologna con il controllore cominciano a fare un po' di storie: "non sarebbe questo l'autobus giusto, bisogna sentire il centralino, fai così, sali a bordo, poi vediamo..." Mai fidarsi di qualcuno che dice poi vediamo. (Poi vediamo...) Parte tranquillamente l'autobus, nel frattempo è difficile mettersi in contatto con il numero verde di Flixbus persino per l'autista stesso. Ma quando risponde il centralino, gli dicono: "Sì, effettivamente, c'è un problema: il ragazzo non può stare a bordo, non ha un biglietto valido, non sarebbe mai dovuto salire a bordo". (Ahia!) A questo punto autista e controllore comunicano la notizia al ragazzo e il ragazzo dice: "Adesso che volete fare? Mica mi potete abbandonare qui sull'autostrada?" "Ah no? E se facciamo proprio così?" Il ragazzo minaccia di chiamare i carabinieri per vedere chi ha ragione. Chiamano i carabinieri effettivamente. Secondo te i carabinieri cosa hanno detto? Matteo: [16:31] "Non lo sappiamo". Raffaele: [16:32] "Mi dispiace, non possiamo aiutarvi, non possiamo occuparci di questo." A questo punto però l'autista e il controllore sono arrabbiatissimi, alla più vicina corsia d'emergenza accostano, davanti agli occhi di tutti gli altri passeggeri che non hanno fatto nulla tra l'altro, fanno scendere il ragazzo, gli danno il bagaglio e lo abbandonano in autostrada. Matteo: [16:57] Ma in corsia d'emergenza? Raffaele: [16:58] Eh sì. Matteo: [17:00] Vabbè, però mi sembra una cosa ridicola. Raffaele: [17:01] Lui fortunatamente riesce a raggiungere la stazione di servizio, chiama un Uber e si fa portare a Bologna. E da qui prenota un treno che lo porta vicino casa, a Molfetta. Matteo: [17:15] Allora, qui c'è un problema fondamentale, che non capisco perché non lo abbiano lasciato alla prima stazione di servizio. Che stava facendo? Stava facendo impazzire tutti? Urlava? Era un pericolo? Raffaele: [17:33] Può darsi che stavano... i toni si stavano alzando, e a dir la verità questa corsetta emergenza era poco prima di una stazione di servizio. Quindi non credo il ragazzo abbia dovuto fare dei chilometri. Però comunque è stato abbandonato in autostrada un cliente, alla fine, perché il ragazzo aveva un obiettivo valido e l'autobus era stato cancellato non per suo volere. Ma si può fare una cosa del genere? . Matteo: [17:59] Evidentemente sì, nel senso che... Raffaele: [18:02] Nel senso che l'hanno fatta, quindi si può fare. (L'hanno fatto, esatto.) Fisicamente è possibile. Matteo: [18:08] Però l'errore grande è stato probabilmente farlo entrare, cioè nel senso, non puoi arrabbiarti con qualcuno che è sul tuo autobus dopo che lo hai fatto entrare. Raffaele: [18:20] Esatto, quindi l'autista e il controllore hanno fatto due errori gravi. Il primo forse dettato dalla volontà di aiutare, il secondo proprio cattivo nell'animo, perché non si fa, non si abbandona una persona in autostrada, è pericoloso e tra l'altro penso sia proprio vietato dal codice della strada. Il ragazzo fortunatamente è riuscito a tornare a casa, ma ha contattato i media per diffondere questa notizia e ha anche protestato nei confronti della compagnia. Flixbus ha risposto e ha sospeso l'autista e il controllore dicendo però che il ragazzo non sarebbe mai dovuto salire su quell'autobus, perché non aveva il titolo adatto a salire. Quindi come dire hanno sbagliato autista e controllore ma sbagliato anche il ragazzo che non doveva essere lì. Che è una, come dire, una soluzione che non so quanto mi fa contento. Matteo: [19:19] Sì, diciamo che è un po' scaricare responsabilità: la responsabilità è dell'azienda. Raffaele: [19:27] Punto, punto, non facciamo scaricabarile. Matteo: [19:30] Esatto, la responsabilità dell'azienda e se proprio dobbiamo andare a cercare un errore, l'errore più grande dell'azienda è stato quello di formare male il controllore e l'autista in modo da non dare a loro la conoscenza per dire al ragazzo "non puoi salire". Raffaele: [19:55] Esatto. Matteo: [19:55] Quindi l'errore più grande è quello, è l'unico errore. Perché poi se l'autista non sapeva bene cosa fare... Ha fatto un gesto umano facendolo salire. Poi c'è stata un'escalation, però il gesto era ovviamente umano, perché non c'era una regola ben scritta. Quindi colpa dell'azienda, non incolpiamo gli autisti. Raffaele: [20:23] Io ci metto il carico e ti dico che un altro disservizio dell'azienda è il fatto che il numero verde non rispondeva, non c'era nessuno disponibile, nessuno che sapesse dare una risposta alle domande in primis dell'autista e del controllore e poi anche del ragazzo. Il ragazzo quando è sceso in corsia d'emergenza stava ancora al telefono provando a contattare il servizio clienti di Flixbus. E io sono un po' preoccupato perché ilmese prossimo dovrei prendere un autobus Flixbus... Matteo: [20:55] E noi non vediamo l'ora di sentire la tua esperienza. Raffaele: [20:58] Vi racconterò, se tornerò a casa. Matteo: [21:01] Sì, sicuramente. Raffaele: [21:02] Nel frattempo, invece di scendere a Bari, noi proseguiamo, passiamo anche lo stretto di Messina e andiamo in Sicilia. Matteo: [21:18] Oh, che bello, anche perché penso che in Sicilia ci sarà anche una buona temperatura adesso, rispetto a Milano. Raffaele: [21:27] Ti faccio sapere subito. Palermo meteo: 11 gradi e pioggia, non benissimo. Diciamo che tutta l'Italia è attraversata da questa ondata di freddo. (Sì.) Però sopra i dieci non si sta male. Matteo: [21:44] Eh, direi. Raffaele: [21:46] E io ti porto in una cittadina vicino Palermo, ti porto in uno dei borghi più piccoli d'Italia. In termini di abitanti parliamo soltanto di venti abitanti. Matteo: [22:02] Venti? Raffaele: [22:03] Soltanto venti. E sono tanti rispetto a quelli che ci vivevano circa trent'anni fa, che era soltanto una famiglia, quindi suppongo quattro o cinque persone. Matteo: [22:14] Quindi una famiglia in un bor.... un borgo per una famiglia. Bello, però... Raffaele: [22:19] Un borgo unifamiliare. Il borgo è davvero piccolissimo, parliamo di due, tre strade. Per farti capire meglio dove siamo, siamo a circa 30 chilometri da Palermo. La cittadina si chiama Partinico, ma questo borgo si chiama Borgo Parrini. Matteo: [22:39] Nome interessante. Raffaele: [22:41] Eh sì, perché ha un significato in siciliano. I parrini in siciliano sono i preti, i sacerdoti. E questo nome ci racconta un po' la storia del borgo un po' isolato, perché era il borgo dei gesuiti che si erano stabiliti fuori Palermo, quindi dei preti. Parliamo del '500-'600. A fine Settecento i gesuiti vengono espulsi da quello che all'epoca era il regno di Napoli e il regno di Sicilia, e quindi il borgo diventa in pratica abbandonato. E ti ripeto, fino a trenta anni fa ci viveva solo una famiglia, la famiglia Gaglio, di cui però faceva parte Giuseppe, Giuseppe Gaglio, che ha un'idea interessante. Siccome tutte le casette di questo borgo erano in vendita più o meno a un euro, dice: "ma sai che faccio? Ne compro io la buona parte, le ristrutturo e ne faccio un'attrazione turistica artistica." Ispirato alle città del Mediterraneo e alla storia della Sicilia, decide di abbellirle in maniera artistica. Quindi ceramiche colorate, pittura dai colori molto forti, richiami a figure artistiche dell'area mediterranea ma un po' anche a livello internazionale. E questo posto trent'anni dopo prende il soprannome della piccola Barcellona, perché buona parte delle ricostruzioni in ceramica sono ispirate ad Antoni Gaudi, il padre del modernismo, se lo vogliamo chiamare così. Matteo: [24:24] Bello, beh in effetti è molto bello, è molto affascinante e caratteristico il borgo. Tu sei mai stato? Raffaele: [24:34] No, io non sono... mi vergogno a dirlo tantissimo... Non sono mai stato in Sicilia, Matteo... Matteo: [24:42] Ma come? Io non sono stato lì, però in Sicilia sì. Ma è strano, Napoli-Sicilia non è una cosa impensabile. Raffaele: [24:52] Allora in autobus, no. In treno, è difficile anche se si fa. In nave sarebbe la cosa più facile. C'è anche l'aereo adesso, ce ne sono tanti. Il punto sai qual è? Che dovendo prendere un mezzo di trasporto come l'aereo, o come la nave, a me non piace tantissimo viaggiare in nave. Però c'è sempre l'idea che se devo prendere un aereo, vado all'estero. Anche quando facciamo i preventivi per viaggi durante l'anno, c'è sempre qualcosa che mi fa dire: "vabbè, ma a questo punto vado a... una città estera, in una città estera." Matteo: [25:24] Ma come? Questa è una cosa che tutti i nostri ascoltatori ti diranno: "Ma no!" Raffaele: [25:30] Però anche loro poi vogliono viaggiare in Italia [all'estero], è un po' quello, no? (Eh sì, in effetti sì.) Però ci metterò una pezza, come si dice: prometto che a breve andrò in Sicilia, anzi possiamo fare una cosa, Matteo. Possiamo andare insieme, possiamo fare le nostre vacanze durante l'anno tutti quanti in Sicilia: un bel team retreat di Easy Italian in Sicilia. Matteo: [25:53] In Sicilia, bah, possiamo provare. Non lo so, vediamo, ché... fa caldo. Raffaele: [26:01] Tornando a Borgo Parrini, Matteo, che ne pensi di questa idea di Giuseppe Gaglio, che da solo ha praticamente ridato vita a questo borgo, borgo che è diventata una delle attrazioni della Sicilia, e uno dei posti più fotografati e condivisi sui social di tutta la Sicilia. Matteo: [26:23] Mi sembra un'ottima idea, è un ottimo modo per prendere, rendere qualcosa di ormai morto, una cosa di nuovo viva e utile. Anche per, come dire... Queste cose secondo me sono anche utili forse per alleggerire il peso turistico che ha Palermo e cercare di reindirizzarlo anche in altri luoghi lì vicino. Raffaele: [26:55] Sì, tra l'altro è un'escursione interessantissima, anche perché è vicino Palermo, a conti fatti, ma vicino anche l'aeroporto e altre cittadine come Terrasini e Castellammare del Golfo, quindi si presta benissimo ad essere visitato anche solo in una giornata. E poi il tocco extra dell'imprenditore Gaglio, che all'interno di alcune di queste abitazioni ristrutturate artisticamente ci ha aperto dei musei, come il Museo dei Pupi, ad esempio, che sono le tipiche marionette siciliane. Matteo: [27:33] Molto bello. Peccato che c'è un piccolo colpo di scena. (Che succede?) Il colpo di scena è che il signor Giuseppe Gallio è indagato. Raffaele: [27:47] Ah! Che è successo? Matteo: [27:51] Hai capito? Hanno fatto tutto. Ha fatto il ponte, cioè il ponte, mi sono confuso. Ha fatto il villaggio, ha creato i musei: è indagato per corruzione. Raffaele: [28:05] Oh no, arrestato per corruzione. Matteo: [28:07] Mannaggia, non si riescono a fare due cose positive in Italia che poi esce fuori qualcosa di non proprio pulito. Raffaele: [28:18] Hai proprio ragione, vedi? In Italia è difficile fare due cose buone positive una dietro l'altra. Detto questo, il borgo non è arrestato. Matteo: [28:28] Il borgo è visibile, visitabile: visitatelo. Raffaele: [28:32] Mi hai lasciato con l'amaro in bocca, Matteo, con questa notizia. Matteo: [28:36] Direi di parlare di questo colpo di scena nel nostro privé. E continuiamo. Anche perché sono curioso di sapere l'effetto che ha fatto su di te. (Eh sì.) Ho lasciato. questa notizia proprio alla fine fine, Raffaele non sapeva questa cosa. Raffaele: [28:55] Parliamone di là, vai: attraversa il ponte di vetro e vieni nella nostra sala VIP. (Senza scivolare!) Non scivolare! Diamo un grosso abbraccio a tutti i nostri ascoltatori. Matteo: [29:06] Mi raccomando, tante stelline e tante review. Raffaele: [29:09] Ciao! Matteo: [29:10] Ciao!

What are the eternal decrees of God? In this sermon, Dr. Martyn Lloyd-Jones examines this question by looking at what all of Scripture says concerning God and His works. The Bible teaches that before the world began, God ordained all that would come to pass. The great plan is brought to fulfillment in creation and providence. This decree of God is God's plan for the world; it encompasses creation, fall, and redemption. Even evil things are under God's control. But, as Dr. Martyn Lloyd-Jones makes clear, evil is never caused by God, but only permitted. It is at this point that one must appeal to as the great mystery of God. Finite creatures can never understand, or absolutely comprehend, all that God is and does. Faith requires resting in the mysteries of God. The great mystery of God's sovereign and absolute decrees must be held to in faith. People cannot trust in themselves, but in God alone. Christians can do this because God is a good and gracious Father who ordains all things for their good and His glory. This doctrine of God's decree ought to give great hope because Christians know that He is both a loving God and in control of all things.

Hello to you listening in St. Paul, Minnesota!Coming to you from Whidbey Island, Washington this is Stories from Women Who Walk with 60 Seconds (and a bit more) for Time Out Tuesday and your host, Diane Wyzga.While I don't go for Begin Anew resolutions I've found that I can do pretty well with a factory reset. Those who have been following me for some years now have heard me seeking the genuine in life, women having a voice in the world, letting go of the unnecessary, and making room for what nourishes in these finite days of a human life.What's my factory re-set for 2025? Advice to Myself by Louise Erdrich whose writing and wisdom I have coveted since reading Love Medicine in 1984. Perhaps her poem will reset something wild and unexpected in you.    Advice to MyselfLeave the dishes. Let the celery rot in the bottom drawer of the refrigeratorand an earthen scum harden on the kitchen floor.Leave the black crumbs in the bottom of the toaster.Throw the cracked bowl out and don't patch the cup.Don't patch anything. Don't mend. Buy safety pins.Don't even sew on a button.Let the wind have its way, then the earththat invades as dust and then the deadfoaming up in gray rolls underneath the couch.Talk to them.

Chapter 1:Summary of Finite and Infinite Games"Finite and Infinite Games" by James P. Carse is a philosophical exploration of two types of games that can be applied to life and human interaction. Carse categorizes games into two types: finite games and infinite games.1. Finite Games: These are played for the purpose of winning. The rules are fixed, players compete against each other, and there is a clear endpoint. Examples include sports, competitions, and any situation where participants strive for specific goals or victories. Finite games focus on achieving a particular outcome, often leading to defined winners and losers.2. Infinite Games: In contrast, infinite games are played for the purpose of continuing the play. The rules can change, the objective is not necessarily to win but rather to ensure that the game can continue and evolve. This perspective emphasizes growth, collaboration, and the nurturing of relationships. Infinite games focus on the journey rather than the endpoint, promoting a sense of community and ongoing engagement.Carse elaborates on the implications of these two forms of play in various aspects of life, such as business, relationships, education, and personal growth. He encourages readers to consider which type of game they are playing in different areas of their lives and promotes the idea that adopting an infinite mindset can lead to richer, more fulfilling experiences.The book ultimately prompts a reevaluation of how individuals approach their interactions and endeavors, advocating for a shift from a solely competitive mindset to one that values connection, creativity, and the ongoing nature of existence.Chapter 2:The Theme of Finite and Infinite Games"Finite and Infinite Games" by James P. Carse is a philosophical exploration rather than a traditional narrative with characters and plot points. It presents a framework for understanding human interactions, choices, and the nature of life itself through the lens of two types of "games": finite and infinite. Below are key themes and ideas, as well as concepts relevant to character development in the broader sense of personal growth and understanding. Key Plot Points and Concepts1. Definition of Games:- Finite games are those with fixed rules, clear winners and losers, and a defined beginning and end, such as sports or board games.- Infinite games are played for the purpose of continuing the play, with the aim of keeping the game going and involving as many people as possible, such as love, art, and education.2. Motivation and Purpose:- Players in finite games are often motivated by achievement, competition, and clear outcomes. Infinity players engage in pursuits that foster connection, growth, and ongoing experience.3. Evolving Perspectives:- Throughout the text, Carse encourages readers to shift their perspective from finite to infinite games—viewing life as a continuing journey rather than a competition with set endpoints. This shift is integral to personal development and understanding.4. Play and Participation:- The concept of "play" is central; it's not merely associated with children but is vital for creativity, experimentation, and joy in both finite and infinite contexts.5. Accepting Uncertainty:- Carse posits that infinite players embrace uncertainty and change rather than seeking rigid control or definitive outcomes. This acceptance leads to richer experiences and deeper connections. Character Development (as a metaphor for personal growth)1. From Competitor to Collaborator:- The book challenges individuals to consider how they approach their roles in life—transitioning from a mindset focused solely on winning to one of collaboration and mutual support.2. Maturity in Perspective:- The readers are invited to consider their...

Introduction: In this episode, Sarah Walton, a dynamic business coach and sales expert, unpacks the powerful connection between money mindset and personal growth. Raised in a low-income household, Sarah knows the unspoken rules and financial beliefs that shape our lives. She brings her signature no-nonsense coaching strategies to reveal how women in business can break free from scarcity, embrace abundance, and cultivate confidence in sales and life. This conversation dives into how mindset shifts around time, money, and self-worth can transform your business and personal development journey.     Main Takeaways: Unspoken Rules Shape Financial Beliefs: Identifying inherited beliefs can help dismantle the scarcity mentality. Money is Infinite; Time is Finite: Recognizing this truth can revolutionize decision-making and time management. Confidence Drives Perceived Value: Abundance flows when you confidently own your worth and offerings.     Main Topics with Timestamps: Unspoken Rules and Scarcity Mentality (05:15) Sarah explains how unspoken childhood rules—like "money is stressful" or "more is better"—can unconsciously control decisions. She emphasizes that these beliefs aren't truths but inherited mindsets. Quote: "Unspoken rules run deep, but identifying them allows us to rewrite our stories." Impact: Realizing how these unexamined beliefs operate can unlock a sense of freedom and control over your financial choices. Money vs. Time: Infinite and Finite (23:42) The misconception that time is abundant and money is limited is flipped. Sarah highlights that money flows endlessly in the economy, but time is a resource you can't replenish. Quote: "Billions of dollars circulate daily—it's about participating in the flow, not fighting it." Impact: This mindset shift encourages smarter investments in your time and energy, empowering you to focus on high-value activities. Perceived Value and Sales Confidence (41:08) Owning the value of your work is key to thriving in sales. Sarah reframes selling as a transfer of enthusiasm rather than a pushy transaction. Quote: "When you trust your value, you can confidently ask for the raise or increase your prices without guilt." Impact: Seeing sales as an opportunity to share value transforms fear into empowerment, fostering authenticity in every transaction.     Notable Quotes: "We come into this world naturally abundant; scarcity is something we learn, but abundance is always available." "Confidence in your value isn't about arrogance; it's about showing up with integrity and love." "The unexamined psyche will rule your life—question your beliefs to unlock your true potential."

Season 2, Episode 7 | "If I wasn't concerned with the outcome, but was more concerned with being in the experience, what would that open up for me?" In this episode of Strong & Awake, Dane and Mitch explore the concept of playing infinite games versus finite games in life. They challenge the traditional mindset of winning and losing, urging listeners to focus on growth rather than just the end result. Through engaging anecdotes and thought-provoking discussions, they highlight how adopting an infinite game perspective can transform relationships, careers, and personal well-being. By embracing voluntary discomfort and consistent practices, they argue, we can cultivate resilience and a richer, more fulfilling life. This episode invites you to rethink your goals and the games you play, offering a fresh lens to view life's challenges and opportunities.Chapters:00:00 Introduction01:23 Playing Infinite Games04:54 Finite vs. Infinite Goals10:06 Embracing Presence15:38 Practical Steps to Play Infinite19:08 Building a Practice27:35 The Bigger GameMentions:James Carse: Mentioned as the author of "Finite and Infinite Games," which introduces the concept of finite games (with winners and losers) and infinite games (which continue indefinitely).Simon Sinek: Referenced for his book "The Infinite Game," which builds on Carse's ideas and applies them to business and personal development.James Clear: Cited for his work on habits, particularly the idea that identity-based habits (e.g., becoming a runner) are more sustainable than goal-based habits.Peter Attia: Referenced for his book "Outlive," which discusses living a better life in terms of both quality and quantity.Tim Gallwey: Mentioned for his book "The Inner Game of Tennis," which discusses the concept of "relaxed focus" and being present in the moment.Anchor Actions:Shift Your Perspective on Goals: Reflect on the areas of your life where you might be playing a finite game with a win-lose mindset. Consider how you can reframe these areas into infinite games focused on ongoing growth and connection. For example, in relationships, aim to nurture and perpetuate the bond rather than "winning" arguments or gaining leverage.Practice Daily Rituals for Identity Building: Establish daily habits that align with the person you want to become, not just tasks to complete. Focus on who you are becoming through your daily practice, reinforcing your identity through action and playing the infinite game of personal growth.Embrace Presence in Every Moment: Cultivate the habit of being fully present in your daily interactions and tasks. Whether in a conversation, a work task, or a personal challenge, practice relaxed focus and engage deeply with the moment. This presence not only enhances your immediate experience but also contributes to a richer, more fulfilling life as you play the infinite game of becoming.Join Us:Our Membership Community (MWOD) is where we embrace discomfort as a path to personal development.

We talk a lot about the importance of emergence—of being more comfortable with being uncomfortable. However, it's hard to practice what you preach… especially for a podcast with a tight schedule. Normally, when one of two hosts is out of commission, you don't record. But when this recently happened to us, we asked “How might we?” and took a big ol' step into the unknown. We're glad we did, because this week's guest is Dr. Jason Fox, a self-proclaimed wizard-philosopher, best-selling author, and senior leadership advisor to Fortune 500 companies around the world. In classic wizard-philosopher fashion, he and Sam throw out the script for a far-reaching conversation about the importance of rituals, the roles we play when we're at work, and how embracing uncertainty is where the magic truly happens.

The Episode was made possible by Immune Intel AHCC® & WeNatalBabies die. Fetuses die. We all die. And yet, we are so death illiterate that even seasoned veterans in the health professions often struggle with how to show up when death inevitably shows up on the doorstep.
