Louise Lecavalier est une force de vie inégalée. Depuis ses débuts comme danseuse, elle est décrite comme un combustible d'une virtuosité incomparable ; c'est « la plus brillante », « l'étoile », « l'intemporelle ». Mais au-delà de ces lieux communs, Lecavalier est avant tout une enfant fou glorieuse, un être aux mille visages, qui danse la tête dans le ventre et dans le cœur. Une innovatrice qui a marqué l'histoire de la danse d'ici et d'ailleurs.D'où vient cette fougue et cette intransigeance d'être soi chez Lecavalier ? C'est en 1981, à son arrivée chez La La La Human Steps sous la direction d'Édouard Lock, qu'elle découvre cette liberté indomptable qui la caractérise. Elle devient alors l'icône de la compagnie pendant deux décennies en participant à toutes les œuvres charnières telles que Human Sex, New Demons et Infante. En 2006, elle fonde sa compagnie Fou Glorieux, travaille avec Tedd Robinson, Crystal Pite et Nigel Charnock avant de collaborer avec Benoît Lachambre avec qui elle partage une sensibilité pour la performance et le mouvement authentique. Ensemble, iels créeront les magnifiques Is You Me (FTA, 2008), après « I » Is Memory (2006). Dans cette danse polymorphe et ralentie à l'extrême, à contre-courant de la vitesse, on la découvre différente. C'est presque une radiographie de ses danses antérieures, où se dévoile l'envers de la médaille.Toutes ces rencontres ont été décisives dans le parcours de l'interprète, devenue chorégraphe et porteuse de projet. À la suite de ces créations, elle poursuit avec des œuvres phares : So Blue (FTA, 2012), une pièce brute et viscérale, Mille batailles (FTA, 2016), dont elle revisite un solo pour ses danses vagabondes, ou encore Stations (FTA, 2021). Artiste et athlète hors norme, Louise Lecavalier est une joie solaire.Instagram :https://www.instagram.com/laprescript...Facebook : / 100078674880976 Hébergé par Acast.

16.00 กระทรวงพาณิชย์ เผยตัวเลขการใช้สิทธิ FTA ช่วงเดือน ม.ค.–ส.ค. 68 ทะลุ 1.94 ล้านล้านบาท

Chris Luxon says India and New Zealand are continuing to get closer to reaching a free trade agreement. Trade Minister Todd McClay hosted Commerce Minister Piyush Goyal in Auckland last week for a fifth round of talks on an FTA. The Prime Minister says it's been good to see Goyal coming here when he's so in-demand around the world. Luxon told Mike Hosking that McClay will head to India this week for further talks. He says they're making good progress, with some negotiations, but they're committed to getting the deal done. LISTEN ABOVESee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

So we've had a fifth round of talks with India on a free trade agreement. A senior government minister's in town with 42 of his mates. This is a sign of good progress, but dairy farmers were hoping for a pot of gold at the end of this rainbow and it isn't going to happen. McClay and Luxon promised a deal by the election and it sounds like they're on track to achieve that. But is a deal worth the paper it's written on if it doesn't unlock tariff free access for milk powder? It's our major commodity we sell to the rest for the world. It's one of the reasons Fonterra's the cat that got the cream right now. But in their haste and their eagerness, these Ministers are going for quick and dirty over comprehensive and all-encompassing. Which begs the question, would a deal look good for the government without dairy in it, or would you look a bit dumb because you've rushed in to buy a car which doesn't actually include an engine? Here's why it won't include dairy: India is the world's largest consumer of dairy. It meets that demand domestically. They don't need or want our stuff. They have ambitions to be a major dairy exporter in future. The Brits' deal disappointed farmers for excluding dairy. Fed Farmers in Scotland put out a release saying it was a sour deal because of it. You can expect to get the same reaction here if and when a deal is done without our big money spinner included. Even our Treasury says dairy isn't going to happen. I asked Miles Hurrell about this a few months ago. He's realistic. He basically said he doesn't think dairy will get across the line, but if it did, it'd be invaluable. Of course it would be. Growth in global dairy consumption is expected to largely be driven out of India and Pakistan. To miss this boat would be disappointing. They could include some nothing clause about wanting to open in future, but there'd be no guarantee. Which doesn't make this a deal not worth signing, but the speed at which its being done could actually hurt Luxon's self-described business negotiating skills if expectations aren't properly managed. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The Prime Minister says he's confident a free trade agreement with India will get across the line soon. Christopher Luxon denied negotiations had hit a rough patch after skipping Parliament last minute this week to meet with India's Trade Minister. He told Kerre Woodham India has very strong positions on certain aspects of trade. Luxon says they're really hard negotiators, but equally they want the best possible deal they can secure for New Zealand. The Government's aiming to finalise the FTA this year and the Prime Minister's confirmed Trade Minister Todd McClay will head there next week. Luxon's popularity has lagged in polls this year and there's a growing sentiment that National should consider a leadership change for the next election. However, the Prime Minister told Woodham a potential successor hasn't crossed his mind. When told people aren't buying the product he and his government are selling, he told Woodham to wait and find out what happens next year.

This week on Hafta, Newslaundry's Abhinandan Sekhri, Anand Vardhan, Raman Kirpal, and Jayashree Arunachalam are joined by MK Venu, Founding Editor of The Wire, and award-winning investigative journalist and author Josy Joseph.The panel begins with a discussion on the recently signed “historic” India-UK free trade agreement. Venu argues that the BJP's intention behind this FTA is to have a “fresh start” in global trade negotiations: “In the last 11 years of the Modi government, the narrative they built, led by Piyush Goyal, is that all the FTAs signed by the UPA government were bad for India, that they were being used as a conduit for Chinese goods.”The conversation then shifts to Jagdeep Dhankhar's resignation as vice president. Abhinandan asks who will oversee the Rajya Sabha “with the parliament session already happening, and all sorts of noise and protests”.Explaining the legal framework, Anand says, “Article 67 says that till the next vice president is appointed, he will have to continue. But he has made it clear that he will not be attending the House.” Venu draws a pattern of abrupt and unexplained resignations among the Indian political and bureaucratic elite: “There is a striking parallel in the manner in which Dhankhar, CBI chief (former Director) Alok Verma, and (former Election Commissioner) Arun Goel abruptly left. What is it that drives leadership in the Modi-Shah regime? There's intrigue, there's cloak and dagger, there's paranoia. Paranoia accompanied by complete power. It's a paradox.”Commenting on media speculation around Dhankhar's resignation, Anand says, “Journalists and public and social media commentators cannot say the simple thing that ‘we don't know'.” Jayashree adds, “It doesn't matter if there is any value to these theories. What matters is that you have a story, a source, the source has said something outlandish, and that is your headline.”The panel then shifts to the Bombay High Court's recent verdict on the 2006 Mumbai blasts. Raman explains: “It's a 576-page judgement talking about how the police have manufactured evidence in very great detail…This particular judgement has put a huge question mark on this state-specific law MCOCA.”Drawing from his decades of experience reporting on intelligence and security, Josy says: “One of the things that has always struck me was the impunity with which our police and investigative agencies are able to do pure malicious things and get away because there is no prosecution for malpractices.”Josy also sheds light on the complexities of police functioning and the political pressures that often influence investigations. “I think in India today, the most difficult job is not being a journalist or not being an NGO worker. I think the most difficult job is to be an honest government official.”Timecodes00:00:00 – Introductions and announcements00:05:50 – Headlines 00:14:20-FTA Deal between UK & India / VP's resignation00:47:55- MK Venu's recommendations00:54:02 - Bombay Blast acquittal by the HC01:21:30 - Josy's Recommendation01:27:33- Letters01:43:40- RecommendationsCheck out previous Hafta recommendations, references, songs and letters.Produced and recorded by Amit Pandey, Ashish Anand and Anil Kumar.

Only 4% of Americans ride transit—but 84% of people in communities with transit say they value it.In this episode, Paul Comfort digs into the details with Mark Aesch (CEO, TransPro Consulting) and Alvin McBorrough (CEO, OGx Consulting). Together they unpack two big levers for agency performance: measuring what actually matters and using AI to deliver it more efficiently. Featuring: Mark Aesch – CEO, TransPro ConsultingWhy ridership is a misleading primary metric; shifting from volume to value; what the 84% really care about (jobs access, service for older adults/people with disabilities, low‑income mobility); and how current federal incentives (unlinked passenger trips, revenue miles) work against customer satisfaction. Mark also previews how FTA reform could move agencies from “happy buses” to “happy customers.” Alvin McBorrough – CEO, OGx ConsultingPractical AI use cases transit agencies can deploy now: real‑time passenger tools (ETAs, chatbots), predictive maintenance, route optimization, computer vision for safety, demand forecasting, and digital twins for planning. Turning “data rich, information poor” operations into smarter decisions—and doing more with less.

South Korea and China have a complex relationship characterized by economic interdependence, strategic competition, and regional security concerns. Navigating this delicate balance has been a defining challenge for every South Korean president. Newly elected President Lee Jae Myung has assumed power at a time of increasing US-China strategic competition as well as uncertain global supply chains and growing threat from North Korea. Could this new administration mark a shift in Seoul's approach to Beijing?

To say it has been a busy year for fintech policy folks would be a gross understatement. With the change in administration to Trump 2.0, we have a 180-degree different perspective on most fintech issues than the previous administration. And there have already been many actions taken by the Trump White House that will have far-reaching implications for fintech.To help us unpack all these issues, I invited back to the show, Penny Lee, the CEO of the Financial Technology Association (FTA) and one of the leading voices in Washington for our industry. In addition to navigating all the complex regulatory changes, the FTA is also putting on their annual CEO Summit this month and, as of this writing, tickets are still available.In this podcast you will learn:The state of play in Washington today and its implications for fintech.Why rescinding the 1033 rule would be such a big deal.How they will be fighting this in court.Why this will be in the court system for a while, whoever wins the initial decision.Where the FTA stands on payments modernization.Penny's thoughts on the remittance tax provision of the Big Beautiful Bill.The BNPL bill that was passed in New York and its impact on the industry.What the FTA is doing with Earned Wage Access initiatives in the states.The state of play for AI regulation in the states as well as the federal level.The prospect for a federal AI bill this year.Details of the annual FTA CEO Summit in Washington happening on June 25.Who is going to be on stage from industry and government.What else FTA members are doing while they are in DC.Connect with Fintech One-on-One: Tweet me @PeterRenton Connect with me on LinkedIn Find previous Fintech One-on-One episodes

We're throwing it back to trapping season for this week's episode, recorded right here in the Camo Cave with our good friend and trapping expert Alan Probst. Alan's made the trip from Pennsylvania to the Deep South more times than we can count, and every visit brings real impact… on our land, our wildlife, and our understanding of both.   In this conversation, Alan shares valuable tips and techniques for managing predators and explains how effective trapping can directly improve your turkey flock. There's no better teacher or ambassador for the trapping community, and if you care about land, legacy, and more birds… this one's a must-listen.   Stay connected with Fist Full of Dirt:  Instagram: @ffodpodcast Instagram: @moplandforsale Twitter: @FistDirt TikTok: @originalturkeythug Instagram : @CuzStrickland Twitter: @CuzStrickland Facebook: @CuzStrickland YouTube: Cuz411

Tyler Goss, from Tampa has two critical sales questions: 1) How do we achieve those "crazy" prospecting numbers I talk about in my books? 2) When should a lead become a pipeline opportunity? In this podcast I break down these answers in plain English. When to Create a Deal: Finding the Sweet Spot There's no shortage of opinions on when to create a deal in your CRM. Some sales leaders will tell you to create a deal before you even make the first call (ridiculous). Others won't let you create one until the contract is practically signed (equally absurd). Here's my take: Both extremes are problematic. You need a pipeline that gives you meaningful data. Here's how we handle this at Sales Gravy: For Inbound Leads: We categorize inbound leads into three distinct groups: 1. List Leads These are people who sign up for our newsletter or download basic resources where we only ask for a name and email address. They're joining our community, and while some may become customers down the road, they're not pipeline opportunities yet. 2. MQLs (Marketing Qualified Leads) These folks have given us more detailed information through webinars or content downloads. They've provided their phone number, email address, company, role, etc. There's an implicit understanding that we might reach out, but they haven't expressed a direct interest in buying. I don't want these in my pipeline yet. 3. Hot Leads These people come to us with their hands up, saying things like: "We've got a team of nine and want to do sales training" or "Our SKO is in February, and we want to hire Jeb. How much does he cost?" These leads have an open buying window and go straight into the pipeline. We'll close 95% of these because they've already self-identified as buyers. For Outbound Prospecting: When prospecting outbound we only put opportunities into the pipeline after the prospect has agreed to a first time appointment (FTA). Here's why: First-time appointments are your Money Ball metric – they indicate the health of your prospecting efforts. When an FTA is in your pipeline, you can measure critical data points like: Show/no-show rates by rep Advancement rates from FTA to next stages Conversion rates from FTA to closed business If I have a rep setting tons of FTAs with only a 10% show rate, I need to diagnose that problem. If another rep is advancing 50% of their FTAs to the next stage, that tells me something completely different. The qualification point is simple: both parties have agreed to step into the sales process. That's when it becomes a pipeline opportunity. Some organizations resist this approach because they only want "fully qualified" opportunities in their pipeline. I get it – but you're missing valuable data if you wait too long. Consider this example: If you work in an industry where everyone's under contract, and you know contract expiration dates, you might be tempted to automatically add prospects to your pipeline as their contract end dates approach. I wouldn't do that. Wait until you've had a conversation where they agree to meet with you to discuss options. That agreement to step into the process is your trigger. If you're putting everything into your pipeline, you're diluting your data. If you're waiting until deals are practically closed, why even have a pipeline? The sweet spot is somewhere in between – and for most B2B sales organizations, it's at the first-time appointment stage. Maximizing Prospecting Efficiency: How We Make So Many Calls Tyler also asked about those "crazy" prospecting numbers I mention in my books. How do my teams make hundreds of calls during designated call blocks? The answer boils down to three key principles: 1. Separate List Building from Prospecting Research and building lists is NOT prospecting. When we're prospecting, we're just chopping wood. We have our lists ready in advance, and when it's time to prospect, that's all we do.
