Podcasts about granieri

In this episode, Joe Granieri explores the powerful connection between faith, hope, and imagination in the Christian life. He explains how imagination isn't fantasy—it's a spiritual tool that helps believers visualize God's promises and strengthen their faith. Drawing from the life of Abraham, Granieri highlights how seeing the unseen leads to deeper peace, purpose, and spiritual growth. The message encourages listeners to fix their minds on eternal truths, meditate on God's Word, and use imagination to activate faith and hope.

Host Ruben Navarrette interviews his old friend and former Harvard classmate, Dr. Ronald J. Granieri who is a history professor at the United States Army War College, as well as a Templeton Education Fellow at the Foreign Policy Research Institute. Given that Dr. Granieri's speciality is European history, with an emphasis on the study of allies and adversaries, the conversation could not be better timed. The two old friends talk about America's place in the world, and the changes in the U.S.-E.U. partnership in the era of President Trump. They also discuss Russia and Ukraine, trade and tariffs, immigration and global economics. 

En este episodio, exploramos a fondo el fascinante pero controvertido sistema de las neuronas espejo. Desentrañamos su descubrimiento, su neurofisiología, y el papel que desempeñan en procesos como la comprensión de acciones, la imitación, la empatía y el lenguaje. Además, abordamos las críticas más relevantes de autores como Hickok y Heyes, reflexionamos sobre su relevancia en la neurorrehabilitación y analizamos su conexión con otras redes cerebrales como el cerebelo. Un episodio esencial para entender el estado actual de la ciencia detrás de estas células y su impacto en la cognición y la clínica. Referencias del episodio: 1. Antonioni, A., Raho, E.

Award-winning photographer Renato Granieri discusses with host Sue Stockdale his transformation from a corporate career to becoming an wildlife and travel photographer. Born in Sardinia and settled in the UK, Granieri shares how a trip to the Faroe Islands sparked his passion for photography at the age of 40 and the pivotal role his partner, a travel journalist, played in his career switch. Granieri emphasises the importance of patience, visualisation, and planning in capturing stunning wildlife images and describes the diverse global locales he explores from Antarctica to the jungles of Africa. He also shares his insights on using new technologies like drones for photography and how his work has become a lifestyle deeply rooted in nature conservation. About Renato GranieriRenato has been a wildlife photographer since 2014. Since his first visit to the Arctic, Renato has travelled regularly to the Arctic and Antarctica. In 2024, Renato has reached the geographical North Pole on an expedition vessel. Renato has won several awards, including the Grand Prize of the National Geographic Traveller on two separate occasions, the Bird Photographer of the Year and the Asferico International Contest. Renato has been commissioned by newspapers, magazines, tour operators and tourist boards and also leads specialist photographic tours to a number of destinations around the world. Amongst all, he spends considerable time with chimpanzees, both with those in the wild and those under rehabilitation, contributing to raising money for the preservation of the species. Renato has a strong passion for conservation and is actively involved in a project with Tacugama Chimpanzee Sanctuary in Sierra Leone. In 2022, he was made an official ambassador for the chimpanzees of Sierra Leone. He has two main long-term goals: help with the preservation of wildlife, particularly with great apes and the habitat they live in and inspire others to take care of our planet and travel the world responsibly. Connect with Renato Granieri via website | Instagram | LinkedIn | FacebookKey QuotesI started touching my first camera at the age of 40.Visiting a colony of puffins was the turning point when I started getting very obsessive about wildlife and the natural environmentYou get paid to do something that you really like and change your life and change the way you see thingsClick less and think moreOne excellent shot is worth millions of average shotsLearn the rules because they're very important, but also learn how to break those rulesTime Stamps03:29 Discovering Photography: A Life-Changing Journey06:13 The Creative Process and Inspirations11:00 Wildlife Encounters and Photography Techniques25:36 Tools of the Trade: Renato's Equipment28:53 Building a Photography Business30:35 Reflections and Advice for Aspiring PhotographersConnect with Access to Inspiration: Twitter | Facebook | Instagram | LinkedIn | Read our Impact Report and if you would like to support us then Buy Me A CoffeeProducer: Sue Stockdale Sound Editor: Matias De Ezcurra Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/access-to-inspiration--4156820/support.

Our students come with a professional ethos and a professional mindset of being apolitical and fundamentally the decisions... we're talking about often are happening in the political realm. In a rather momentous occasion, our Editor-In-Chief Jacqueline Whitt turns over the reins of podcast production to our new Editor of A BETTER PEACE, Ron Granieri. After the hand-off, the conversation turns to thinking about how faculty and students at the War College, and other institutions, are approaching the teaching of national security policy and decision making given the current global and domestic political environment. How can national security professionals understand allies' and adversaries' actions and motivations? What is the relative importance of process and psychology in influencing national security decisions? What tools and frameworks might help us make sense of the world around us? Can Whitt and Granieri convince you that we are all Constructivists now?     Jacqueline E. Whitt is an Associate Professor of Strategy at the U.S. Army War College and the Editor-in-Chief of WAR ROOM. Ron Granieri is an Associate Professor of History at the U.S. Army War College and the Editor of A BETTER PEACE. The views expressed in this presentation are those of the speakers and do not necessarily reflect those of the U.S. Army War College, U.S. Army, or Department of Defense.

In the latest episode of FPRI’s Back Channel, Host Ron Granieri welcomes Templeton Fellows Dominic Tierney and Nada Bakos along with special guests Trudy Rubin of the Philadelphia Inquirer and Chris Miller, Professor of Tufts University and the Director of FPRI’s Eurasia Program, to discuss the Helsinki summit and its impact on contemporary geopolitics. Continuing in the FPRI tradition of analyzing developments through the lens of history, geography, and culture, Granieri guides a conversation that views the Trump-Putin meeting within the context of President Trump’s loudly proclaimed if vaguely defined effort to reshape American relations with Russia and Europe. The meeting itself, which included a long tête-à-tête between the Presidents with no other officials present, courted controversy; the post-meeting press conference, where President Trump appeared to side with Putin against his own intelligence agencies, stoked the fires of controversy even further. How do we make sense of the meeting? What led to it? What did the principals accomplish? What comes next?

On 23 June, the United Kingdom voted to leave the European Union. The majority for “Brexit” (52% to 48%) surprised observers on both sides, and exposed geographical and generational divides in British society. Scotland and Northern Ireland voted to remain, while Wales and England, voted to leave; voters over 60 voted overwhelmingly to leave, while voters under 35 voted as strongly to remain. The referendum also highlighted deep divisions within Britain’s ruling Conservative Party. Prime Minister David Cameron had hoped that simply holding the referendum would appease Tory Euroskeptics, but was so surprised by the vote for Brexit that he immediately announced his intention to resign. The opposition Labour Party proved equally divided, and only the stoutly Euroskeptic United Kingdom Independence Party (UKIP) celebrated the vote. Theresa May eventually emerged as the new Prime Minister, only the second woman to hold that position, and now faces the challenge of managing a delicate diplomatic dance which will include not only her party colleagues, but restive regions and a fragmented British electorate—not to mention Britain’s twenty-seven soon-to-be-former EU partners.Why did the UK hold the referendum? Why did the result come as such a surprise? How will the British political class and electorate respond to the realities of Brexit? What will the future relationship between the United Kingdom and the European Union look like?For answers to these and other questions, join us for Geopolitics with Granieri, where Ron Granieri will welcome Prof. Dominic Tierney of Swarthmore College for a wide-raging discussion of the causes and consequences of Brexit.

Dr. Ronald Granieri, Director of Research and Lecturer in International Studies at the Lauder Institute, speaks about his background and courses.
