He might also be considered one of the most important European symphonists during the last quarter of the 20th century, when he wrote his impressive series of six symphonies that embody imaginative orchestral colour and a skilful sense of structure. Raymond Bisha introduces a new album of Sumera's music performed by the Estonian National Symphony Orchestra under their music director and chief conductor Olari Elts. This first in a series of recordings of all Sumera's symphonies features

Thorsten Pattberg discusses the struggle between East and West and how after having dominated for centuries, the West is now giving way as Asia returns to the forefront. He comments on the subversion carried out in the East by "Western press soldiers," how there is an informational iron curtain coming down, and whether he sees military conflict in the cards. China is advancing in tech and has had to struggle to keep Western globalization from encroaching on its own culture. He also refers to the EU as the Fourth Reich!

"Just talk about it, normally. Having more open conversations about mental health, bringing it up more, allows people to be more comfortable and open to talking about that topic. Since it can be really hard, the more regular that it is, the easier that it is to talk about." Teens have a lot to teach us, when we're ready to listen.  Every year, Forefront in the Schools welcomes nearly 150 students and staff from schools across the Puget Sound region for the Day of Hope summit at University of Washington. Hailing from Kennedy Catholic High School, Muckleshoot Tribal School, Shorecrest, South Whidbey High School, Mt. Si, Roosevelt High School, The Bush School, Evergreen Public Schools, Lakewood School District, Ballard High School and Eastside Catholic and more, student advocates gather to share their work on comprehensive suicide prevention in their communities, including stories of belonging, care, and resilience. In this special episode of Coping 101, we asked these student leaders to share their WHY's for joining in this life-saving work, what they're doing to help themselves and their peers, and what adults can do to maintain effective mental health conversations with young people.  Coping 101 is an award-winning student-led podcast from c89.5, presented in partnership with Seattle Children's, Forefront Suicide Prevention, 4Culture and other community-minded partners, where Seattle area high school students get real about mental health. Through honest conversations with peers, Artists and behavioral health professionals, they break down stigma and share tools for coping with life's challenges — because no matter your age or background, we all struggle sometimes, and there are healthy ways to cope.  Get started with more episodes, and find community-centric resources online at c895.org/coping101 Forefront Suicide Prevention: https://intheforefront.org/ Forefront in the Schools: https://intheforefront.org/programs/forefront-in-the-schools/ Forefront on social: https://www.instagram.com/intheforefrontwa/

A Fresno mobile home park has become ground zero in a fight to save one of the last bastions of affordable housing in California. But residents there are facing an uncertain future as they wait for a federal judge to decide who will take control of the place they call home: another corporate landlord or an affordable housing non-profit.

He also serves as President of the International Society of Political Psychology. His research focuses in particular on the nature of ideology and belief systems, the psychological foundations of political preferences, and intergroup attitudes. He is co-author of Open Versus Closed: Personality, Identity, and the Politics of Redistribution, and a co-editor of the volumes At the Forefront of Political Psychology: Essays in Honor of John L. Sullivan, and The Political Psychology of Democratic Citizenship. In this episode, we start by talking about the foundations of political preferences, and liberal and conservative attitudes. We discuss an elite-driven view of ideological belief systems. We talk about the phenomenon of collective narcissism, and how it relates to in-group satisfaction, nationalism, and perceptions that the 2020 election in the US was illegitimate. We also talk about collective self-esteem, ideological uncertainty, and the link between religiosity and political ideology. Finally, we discuss the phenomenon of feelings of group-extinction threat, and how (white) people react to their perceived numerical decline.--A HUGE THANK YOU TO MY PATRONS/SUPPORTERS: PER HELGE LARSEN, JERRY MULLER, BERNARDO SEIXAS, ADAM KESSEL, MATTHEW WHITINGBIRD, ARNAUD WOLFF, TIM HOLLOSY, HENRIK AHLENIUS, FILIP FORS CONNOLLY, ROBERT WINDHAGER, RUI INACIO, ZOOP, MARCO NEVES, COLIN HOLBROOK, PHIL KAVANAGH, SAMUEL ANDREEFF, FRANCIS FORDE, TIAGO NUNES, FERGAL CUSSEN, HAL HERZOG, NUNO MACHADO, JONATHAN LEIBRANT, JOÃO LINHARES, STANTON T, SAMUEL CORREA, ERIK HAINES, MARK SMITH, JOÃO EIRA, TOM HUMMEL, SARDUS FRANCE, DAVID SLOAN WILSON, YACILA DEZA-ARAUJO, ROMAIN ROCH, DIEGO LONDOÑO CORREA, YANICK PUNTER, CHARLOTTE BLEASE, NICOLE BARBARO, ADAM HUNT, PAWEL OSTASZEWSKI, NELLEKE BAK, GUY MADISON, GARY G HELLMANN, SAIMA AFZAL, ADRIAN JAEGGI, PAULO TOLENTINO, JOÃO BARBOSA, JULIAN PRICE, EDWARD HALL, HEDIN BRØNNER, DOUGLAS FRY, FRANCA BORTOLOTTI, GABRIEL PONS CORTÈS, URSULA LITZCKE, SCOTT, ZACHARY FISH, TIM DUFFY, SUNNY SMITH, JON WISMAN, WILLIAM BUCKNER, PAUL-GEORGE ARNAUD, LUKE GLOWACKI, GEORGIOS THEOPHANOUS, CHRIS WILLIAMSON, PETER WOLOSZYN, DAVID WILLIAMS, DIOGO COSTA, ALEX CHAU, AMAURI MARTÍNEZ, CORALIE CHEVALLIER, BANGALORE ATHEISTS, LARRY D.

Act+Acre's husband-and-wife founders were early to the growth of the scalp-care market when they launched their brand in 2019 with one product: a $48 prewash treatment called Scalp Detox Oil.  “[Scalp care] was definitely an afterthought for people [a few years ago],” brand founder and hairstylist Helen Reavey told Glossy. “Launching it in 2019, we were one of the first to solely think about scalp care the way skin care had come up and was so personalized, and we took that approach. It's not a one-size-fits-all for the scalp.” Reavey has seen the effects of poor scalp care throughout her 15-year career as a celebrity and editorial hairstylist — most notably during fashion month, when models' hair is routinely overworked backstage until their scalps become sensitive to the touch. “I had that moment where I was like, ‘I wish I could give them something to remove everything and to really start with a fresh canvas,'" she said. “It was that moment [where we said], ‘OK, we should do this; we should launch a brand.'”  Reavey is also a certified trichologist, a specialization focused on the treatment and health of the hair and scalp. She launched Act+Acre with husband and business partner Colm Mackin, who now serves as CEO.  Now an award-winning hero product for the brand, Scalp Detox is one of 25 products sold individually and through 10 curated systems made up of individual SKUs. From oil control to hydration to hair growth, they're each designed for a specific concern.  To help consumers navigate the offerings, Act+Acre publishes blog posts and educational content on social media, and offers a 10-plus question quiz on its site to match a consumer with the right products.  Top selling systems include its Stem Cell System, Thick + Full System and Essential Hydration System. Meanwhile, individual bestsellers include Stem Cell Serum for $86 and Daily Hydro Scalp Serum for $24.  The line is sold DTC and through Sephora, Revolve, Bluemercury, Amazon, Dermstore, Anthropologie and TikTok Shop, among other channels. The brand does 60% of its business DTC and has a 50% subscription rate within that cohort, Mackin told Glossy.  Several products are also recognized by the National Psoriasis Foundation for being safe for those with psoriasis.  “People are definitely starting to understand that the scalp is a foundation for healthy hair, and that comes across in all of our messaging,” Reavey told Glossy.  Act+Acre's latest launch, a two-step shampoo and treatment, is focused on hard water buildup, which impacts the majority of U.S. consumers. High levels of minerals like calcium and magnesium in tap water can build up in the hair and cause brittleness and discoloration, especially on color-treated hair. “I don't think people were really understanding that hard water was this silent destructor,” Reavey told Glossy. The brand's Clarifying Hard Water Shampoo sells for $32, while the Clarifying Hard Water Scalp Treatment goes for $38.  In this week's episode of The Glossy Beauty Podcast, Reavey and Mackin share insider details on these topics. The duo also discusses the ways they stand out in the market, including through community building, education and customer service.

Enterprise Connect Podcast | Technology Reseller News “It's time for some disruption in the industry — and I think we are the player for that,” says Bill Hodgson, Fanvil. As Fanvil celebrates over 20 years in business, the company is gaining new momentum with a message of innovation, integration, and affordability for enterprise and service provider customers alike. At Enterprise Connect 2025, Bill Hodgson, who represents Fanvil in North America, joined Technology Reseller News publisher Doug Green to highlight Fanvil's expanding product line, global footprint, and disruptive potential in the IP communications market. From OEM Legacy to Global Brand For many years, Fanvil operated behind the scenes as an OEM and ODM partner, designing and manufacturing SIP telephones for leading global brands. Over the last decade, the company has moved into the spotlight with a full portfolio of enterprise-grade endpoints, including the latest V-Series of IP phones and specialty solutions tailored for security, healthcare, and hospitality environments. A Complete, Interoperable Ecosystem Fanvil's strength lies in its ability to integrate traditional telephony with IoT, access control, and smart surveillance. From nurse call systems and in-room patient stations to emergency pull cords and door intercoms, Fanvil offers a seamless ecosystem — all centrally manageable through the Fanvil Device Management System. “The innovation engine behind Fanvil is what makes it stand out,” said Hodgson. “We're not just building phones — we're building smart devices that fit into broader communication and safety workflows.” V-Series: Enterprise Features at Disruptive Prices The new V-Series includes models that range from basic lobby phones to advanced devices with 10-inch Android touchscreens, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, and USB connectivity. These models support advanced use cases such as monitoring IP cameras, offering frontline staff tools that go beyond voice. A standout example is the A320i, a specialized device with a gooseneck microphone designed for reception and security desks — providing real-time visibility into surveillance feeds. Global Reach, Local Growth Already well established in Europe, South America, and Asia, Fanvil is rapidly expanding its presence in North America, aiming to attract more attention from cloud communications providers and service partners seeking cost-effective, feature-rich endpoints. A Call to the Enterprise and Channel Hodgson's message at Enterprise Connect was clear: “Fanvil delivers enterprise-quality hardware with modern features at very attainable price points — all backed by global support and ongoing innovation.” To learn more, visit www.fanvil.com or contact Bill Hodgson at bill.hodgson@fanvil.com.
