I'm Stacey Simms and every other Friday I bring you a short episode with the top diabetes stories and headlines happening now. XX Accessibility to modern diabetes technology directly correlates with A1c among children with type 1 diabetes globally. Big, cross-sectional study, conducted in 81 pediatric diabetes centers in 56 countries, found that a greater extent of reimbursement for continuous glucose monitoring (CGM), insulin pumps, glucose meters, and insulin was associated with lower A1c levels. Partha S. Kar, MD, Type 1 Diabetes & Technology lead of the National Health Service England, told Medscape Medical News, “As is now being shown in countries such as UK with widespread uptake of technology, there is now population-wide shift in A1c not seen before.”   He added, “If policymakers are serious about bringing A1c at a population level to sub-7.5% - 8% levels, then without technology it would be incredibly difficult to achieve, in my experience and opinion. Leaving the median A1c of a population at above 7.5%-8% goes with complications so that's a decision regarding investment many will have to make in the near future.”   In an accompanying editorial, Elizabeth R. Seaquist, MD, professor of diabetes, endocrinology, and metabolism and co-director of the Institute for Diabetes, Obesity, and Metabolism at the University of Minnesota, Minneapolis, called it “striking” that access to technology in and of itself was associated with improved glycemic control, given that multidisciplinary team care is also needed to provide education and behavioral or psychological support.     https://www.medscape.com/viewarticle/diabetes-tech-access-linked-a1c-kids-t1d-globally-2025a1000nn6 XX A man with type 1 in Illinois has received the first FDA-approved islet-cell replacement treatment, Lantidra, and  he is now producing his own insulin. The treatment works by restoring the body's beta cells, potentially eliminating the need for insulin injections.   The FDA approved Lantidra (donislecel) in 2023. Lantidra uses donor cells and requires lifelong immunosuppressive drugs.     Lantidra is only available at University of Illinois Chicago Health. Other universities, such as the University of Pennsylvania, continue to do islet cell transplants as part of clinical trials. Early data has shown that a majority of participants in the Lantidra clinical study were able to achieve some level of insulin independence, but it's unclear whether the benefits of donislecel outweigh the treatment's safety risks. Nearly 87 percent of participants reported infection-related adverse events, and post-operation complications included liver lacerations, bruising of the liver (hepatic hematoma), and anemia. One patient died of multi-organ failure from sepsis, which Lantidra maker CellTrans stated was “probably related” to the use of either immunosuppression or study drugs.   In addition, some industry leaders have raised the question of whether it's ethical to commercialize the use of deceased donor islet cells. https://diatribe.org/diabetes-research/first-fda-approved-islet-cell-transplant-performed?utm_campaign=feed&utm_medium=social&utm_source=later   XX Patients in the U.S. now have access to the first generic GLP-1 treatment approved for weight loss as Teva has launched its copycat of Novo Nordisk's injected Saxenda (liraglutide).   The compound, which is a GLP-1 forerunner of Novo's semaglutide products Ozempic and Wegovy, has been approved by the FDA to treat adults with obesity and those who are overweight and have weight-related medical problems.     Saxenda also is endorsed for pediatric patients ages 12 through 17 who are obese and weigh at least 60 kg (132 pounds). The treatment is for both triggering and maintaining weight loss. Saxenda is not the first GLP-1 drug that is available as a generic. In June of last year, Teva also was the first company to launch a knockoff version of Novo's Victoza, which is the same compound as Saxenda but has been approved only for patients with Type 2 diabetes. Sales of the branded versions of both Victoza and Saxenda have declined significantly in recent years as demand for Novo's semaglutide and Eli Lilly's tirzepatide products have skyrocketed. In addition, marketers of compounded products have been aggressively competing for market share in the GLP-1 space. https://www.fiercepharma.com/pharma/saxenda-knockoff-teva-launches-first-generic-glp-1-obesity   XX Metformin could cut the risk of Long COVID by 64% in overweight or obese adults who started the drug within 90 days of infection. The large observational study, published in Clinical Infectious Diseases, analysed health records of over 624,000 UK adults with COVID-19 between March 2020 and July 2023. Among these, nearly 3,000 patients who began metformin treatment soon after diagnosis were tracked for a year. Compared to non-users, their likelihood of developing Long COVID, defined as persistent symptoms 90 days or more after infection, was dramatically lower. https://www.ndtv.com/health/metformin-cuts-risk-of-long-covid-by-64-why-the-diabetes-pill-is-not-for-everyone-9242332 XX Forty-four percent of people age 15 and older living with diabetes are undiagnosed, so they don't know they have it, according to data analysis published Monday in the journal The Lancet Diabetes & Endocrinology. The study looked at data from 204 countries and territories from 2000 to 2023 in a systematic review of published literature and surveys. “The majority of people with diabetes that we report on in the study have type 2 diabetes,” said Lauryn Stafford , the lead author of the study.   “We found that 56% of people with diabetes are aware that they have the condition,” said Stafford, a researcher for the Institute for Health Metrics and Evaluation. “Globally, there's a lot of variation geographically, and also by age. So, generally, higher-income countries were doing better at diagnosing people than low- and middle-income countries.” People under 35 years were much less likely to be diagnosed if they had diabetes than people in middle age or older. Just “20% of young adults with diabetes were aware of their condition,” Stafford said. https://www.cnn.com/2025/09/08/health/diabetes-undiagnosed-half-of-americans-wellness XX A team of Hong Kong scientists is developing an injectable treatment that could potentially improve blood flow in diabetes patients' feet, in the hopes that it will reduce the need for amputation by rebuilding tissue in the arteries.   They also hope to apply the treatment to peripheral artery disease or PAD, a condition caused by the build-up of fatty deposits in arteries that affect blood circulation in the feet. “Traditional treatments for people suffering from poor blood flow in their legs are stent implantation or bypass surgery, which is invasive,” said Wong, who is also the co-founder of a biotechnology company called NutrigeneAI. He said it was his dream to turn research in the academic field into actual clinical treatments. But he added that the team still needed three to four years for further research on the treatment.   https://www.scmp.com/news/hong-kong/health-environment/article/3324671/hong-kong-scientists-developing-new-blood-flow-treatment-aid-diabetes-patients XX   Tandem Diabetes announces Health Canada authorization for distribution of the Tandem t:slim mobile application for Android and iPhone users. The Tandem t:slim mobile app allows users to deliver a bolus from their compatible smartphone, and to wirelessly upload their pump data to the cloud-based Tandem Source platform.1 The app is expected to be available later this year.   The Tandem t:slim mobile app will be available for compatible smartphones in the Apple App Store and Google Play store later in 2025. Once available, Tandem will email eligible customers with instructions on how to download and use the app.  https://www.businesswire.com/news/home/20250904665715/en/Tandem-tslim-Mobile-App-Now-Authorized-by-Health-Canada-for-iPhone-and-Android-Phones   XX Some changes to how the Eversense CGM will be rolled out.. right now it's being distributed by Ascensia Diabetes Care.  Senseonics will take back commercial control of the year long implantable CGM on January 1 in the US and expanding worldwide throughout 2026. The change was a mutual decision, according to the two companies, which said they have signed a memorandum of understanding before a definitive agreement is hammered out by the end of the year. To get started, Senseonics is also set to acquire members of Ascensia's commercial staff—including its CGM president, Brian Hansen, who is slated to become Senseonics' new chief commercial officer. https://www.fiercebiotech.com/medtech/senseonics-retake-eversense-cgm-commercial-control-ascensia-diabetes-care XX Utrecht-based medical device company ViCentra has closed an $85 million Series D round of funding led by Innovation Industries, along with existing investors Partners in Equity and Invest-NL. The round also drew support from EQT Life Sciences and Health Innovations.   The recent capital injection will be used to expand ViCentra's manufacturing capabilities, support regulatory approvals, and strengthen commercial rollout across Europe.   The funds will also be used to launch the next-generation Kaleido 2 patch pump in Europe and prepare for entry into the U.S. market.   The global insulin delivery market is growing quickly due to the increasing number of diabetes cases and demand for effective and user-friendly solutions. The market for insulin pumps is projected to exceed $14 billion by 2034. Patch pumps are the fastest-growing segment, signalling a trend toward compact and wearable devices. And here's where ViCentra is positioned to meet this need, offering a user-friendly, sleek design-led alternative to traditional systems.   Kaleido: design-led insulin delivery Kaleido is the smallest and lightest insulin patch pump developed as a lifestyle product with a particular focus on usability and personalisation.   Designed to feel more like personal technology than a traditional medical device, Kaleido features premium materials, and users can select their own favourite aluminium shells from a range of ten preset colour options.   It integrates with Diabeloop's hybrid closed-loop algorithms (DBLG1 and DBLG2) and is compatible with Dexcom CGM sensors, positioning it within the next generation of automated insulin delivery systems.   “Kaleido is a true disruptor — small, discreet, featherlight, and beautifully designed. It empowers people with diabetes by offering a more personal and distinctive choice in both function and style. Built with empathy and precision, it honours those who live with diabetes every day. With this funding, we can now meet surging European demand and fast-track our entry into the U.S. market. This is a pivotal moment — for ViCentra, and for the community we serve,” said Tom Arnold, Chief Executive Officer at ViCentra.   Improving the quality of life for diabetic patients ViCentra, led by Tom Arnold, is on a mission to improve the lives of those with diabetes.   The company reported that demand for Kaleido in Germany, France, and the Netherlands has already exceeded initial expectations.   ViCentra will present updates on Kaleido at the 61st Annual Meeting of the European Association for the Study of Diabetes (EASD), taking place September 15–19, 2025, in Vienna.   The company plans to engage with clinicians, investors, and strategic partners to further its role in the evolving diabetes care landscape.   “ViCentra is redefining insulin pump therapy with a platform that truly centres the user experience – combining clinical performance with design simplicity and wearability,” commented Caaj Greebe, Partner at Innovation Industries. “At Innovation Industries, we invest in pioneering companies that blend world-class technology with clear commercial potential. ViCentra exemplifies this by delivering a next-generation system addressing the urgent need for better treatment options in diabetes care. We're proud to lead this investment round and partner with Tom and the team as they deepen and expand their presence in Europe and prepare for U.S. entry.”   https://techfundingnews.com/dutch-vicentra-secures-85m-to-bring-insulin-patch-pump-to-more-markets/ XX Luna Diabetes announces they've raised more than 23-million dollars in early venture capital to help continue clinical trials and build out its capacity. This is the company that wants to offer a night time only, tiny, temporary insulin pump – to supplement insulin pen use. According to the company, more than 80% of the improvements in blood sugar from automated insulin delivery systems occur while the user is sleeping. Luna launched a pivotal trial late last year. https://www.fiercebiotech.com/medtech/nighttime-insulin-patch-pump-maker-luna-diabetes-raises-236m   XX Following 15 days and 150 fingerpricks, they're here. The results of the “9 sensor samba“. And what a set of a results…   Well maybe that's overplaying it a little.   Let's just say that the outcome of this n=1 experiment wasn't quite what I expected. One of the established players came out much worse than expected, while a newcomer did a lot better.   Let's dig in, and take a look at the variation. https://www.diabettech.com/cgm/the-nine-sensor-samba-results-revealed/   XX Hard work and perseverance define ranch life, but one man in eastern Montana takes it to another level. At 90, he's still living independently on the ranch he built from the ground up. Even more remarkable? He's a type 1 diabetic.   Bob Delp still begins each day just like he did decades ago, waking up on his ranch near Richey, Montana.   “I always thought if I could ever get a ranch and run a hundred cows, that's what I wanted to do from the time I was a kid,” said Delp.   He made that dream real, the hard way; after coming home from the army, he taught school, hayed for seven cents a bale and saved every cent he could.     “I worked at it real hard because I always felt like it was going to be part of getting me to that ranch that I always wanted,” said Delp.   He did it all while managing type 1 diabetes, a diagnosis that came with few answers and little hope back in the 1950s.   “The doctors tell me being a type 1 diabetic for 66 years isn't supposed to happen. Back then, it was a real challenge,” added Delp.   Statistically, it's almost unheard of. Fewer than 90 people in the world have lived more than 70 years with type 1 diabetes.     Bob credits his late wife, Donna, for helping him beat the odds.   “She has been key in that I always ate on time.”   They've faced their share of storms, both in health and out on the land. Not long after moving to Richey, a heavy snowstorm nearly tore everything apart just after they'd stepped out for dinner.   “If Donna hadn't said it was time to eat, we wouldn't have made it out of there. I guess that's one time that made me happy to have diabetes. And I think that saved us,” said Delp.     Now, he still checks his blood sugar daily but trusts his hands more than high-tech insulin pumps.   “I'm not satisfied with the sensors they have today. I just don't think they're accurate.”   To many, Bob's survival is extraordinary. To him, it's luck.   “The genes are there already, I can't change that so I guess I would have to say just lots of good luck,” said Delp.     And through it all, optimism has been his compass.   “You might fumble the ball, but if you're determined to be a winner, you'll recover that fumble someday,” said Delp.   He still welds nearly every day. Not because he has to, but because it keeps him going.   “As long as I keep doing something like this, I will not be in the nursing home,” said Delp.   https://www.kfyrtv.com/2025/08/09/against-all-odds-montana-man-thrives-with-type-1-diabetes-90/ XX Today, Dexcom is building on this belief and breaking new ground with the launch of its first open call across the U.S. and Canada in search of the next diabetes advocates—giving people with all types of diabetes a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to raise awareness and share their voice on a global scale in the company's World Diabetes Day campaign (Nov. 14) and beyond.  Who is eligible?: Anyone age 2+ living with all types of diabetes or prediabetes can be nominated by themselves or by someone who knows them.

Success for a princely family in the Late Middle Ages has a lot to do with reproductive luck. Not having any offspring, in particular no male offspring is a bit of a knockout. But having too many sons that could be a major issue too.And in 1386 the Habsburgs struggled with exactly that problem. Their territory was already divided between an Albertine and a Leopoldine line. But then Leopold had four sons, bringing the number of archdukes of Austria to six, which is five too many.In this episode we will discuss how they managed to muck it up quite bad, in fact so bad, one of their number had to fall to his knees before the emperor, not once, not twice, but three times…Albertiner- Albrecht III (1349-1395) o Albrecht IV (1377-1404) § Albrecht V (II) (1397-1439) · Ladislaus Postumus (1440-1457)Leopoldiner- Leopold III (1351-1386) o Wilhelm (1370-1406) o Leopold IV (1371-1411) o Ernst der Eiserne (1377-1424) § Friedrich V (III) (1415-1494) § Albrecht VI (1418-1463) o Friedrich IV (1382-1439) § Siegismund der Munzreiche (1427-1496)The music for the show is Flute Sonata in E-flat major, H.545 by Carl Phillip Emmanuel Bach (or some claim it as BWV 1031 Johann Sebastian Bach) performed and arranged by Michel Rondeau under Common Creative Licence 3.0.As always:Homepage with maps, photos, transcripts and blog: www.historyofthegermans.comIf you wish to support the show go to: Support • History of the Germans PodcastFacebook: @HOTGPod Threads: @history_of_the_germans_podcastBluesky: @hotgpod.bsky.socialInstagram: history_of_the_germansTwitter: @germanshistoryTo make it easier for you to share the podcast, I have created separate playlists for some of the seasons that are set up as individual podcasts. they have the exact same episodes as in the History of the Germans, but they may be a helpful device for those who want to concentrate on only one season.

HINESIGHTS Podcast — Dr. John Gibson: Cameron's Legacy, Hope in ActionContent note: suicide loss, survival, and recovery.In this deeply personal, compassionate conversation, I sit down with Dr. John Gibson, father of Cameron, who died by suicide. John and his wife have transformed unimaginable grief into life-saving purpose through The Canmore Trust, a UK charity funding lived-experience education, compassionate training, and safer systems of care. Please visit and support their work: https://TheCanmoreTrust.co.ukJohn shares a moment that changed both of our lives. He was sitting in a seminar at the International Association for Suicide Prevention Congress in Vienna, Austria when I walked in. He recognized me and whispered, “This is Kevin Hines,” and he began to cry. Some time earlier, during his own darkest hour after losing Cameron, John had found a YouTube clip of me describing my instant regret the millisecond I leapt from the Golden Gate Bridge. That message cut across his suicidal thinking—and stopped him from taking his life.After that, John picked up my second memoir, The Art of Being Broken. He told me he read it in four hours flat, and in those pages he discovered the power of narrative—that telling your story can save other lives. He felt a spiritual calling to speak Cameron's name, share their family's journey, and move hope into action. Today, through The Canmore Trust and his courageous testimony, Cameron's story is saving lives.If you've lost someone, if you're supporting a loved one, or if you're carrying your own pain, I hope this episode meets you with gentleness and strength.

TikTok Shop polarises – is it chaos or the next big thing in commerce? Kristina Mertens sees clear potential. In this episode, she joins Ingrid and Valerie to discuss why Social Commerce is more than a trend and how creator communities drive real brand loyalty.She shares how brands like 6PM or More Nutrition succeed by specifically tapping into content ecosystems. And she talks about her own TikTok experience – 11 seconds from video to purchase. They explore why About You's quick retreat may have come too soon, what makes Social Commerce fundamentally different from classic marketplace logic, and why emotional community-building and AI-driven shopping agents are likely to coexist in the future. For marketplaces, the message is clear: evolve – or become just another data source.Note from the sponsor Kaufland Global Marketplace:Want to expand your marketplace business across Europe?

I recently spent a week in Austria, bouncing between my grandparents' farmhouse and the alpine trails I grew up on. And it hit me how stark the contrast is between the foundation they built and the environment kids are growing up in today.  My grandparents are 92 and 93, still living on their own. They had decades of clean food, pure alpine water, long days outside and zero WiFi. And then, over the last 10-20 years, an Americanized creep of seed oils, ultra-processed snacks and glyphosate started showing up in force.  Fortunately, for my grandparents, their health trajectory was already set. But the sad reality is that today's Austria looks a lot more like the U.S. than the one I left in 2007. You see it in the soda cases and packaged snacks; in childhood obesity, which simply wasn't common when I was a kid; and in the push for convenience over quality.  On paper, the cardiovascular stats are surprising, with heart issues accounting for about a third of Austrian deaths vs roughly a fifth in the U.S. But context matters. Life expectancy is higher in Austria, smoking remains far more prevalent, alcohol is a daily staple for many, and coding practices differ. And while European rules do more to keep out junk — i.e., no drug ads to consumers, tighter oversight of additives, a precautionary approach — you still find head-scratchers like the EU's renewed glyphosate approval, and the official dietary guidance in Austria is every bit as misguided as America's: more grains, less meat, avoid saturated fat.  Meanwhile, the water story flips the other way; Austria's alpine spring water really is great, while here I won't drink unfiltered tap water. The throughline I keep coming back to is the environment. Austrians still walk and bike more, take real vacations and spend time outside. But the trend is heading in the wrong direction.  My takeaway for both sides of the Atlantic is the same: don't wait for guidelines or brands to save you. Vote with your fork and your feet. Buy directly from farmers when you can. Filter your water. Create a home rhythm that makes movement and sunlight normal. Ignore food-industry talking points. And recreate the conditions humans have traditionally thrived in, focusing on better food, cleaner water and more time outside. If that resonates, start small this week. Audit what's in your pantry, pick one item you can swap for a simpler version, take your next meeting while on a walk, and move dinner earlier so your sleep isn't collateral damage. Then share this episode with a friend who still thinks “Europe is automatically healthier” or that “America is too far gone.” The future isn't predetermined; it's built choice by choice.

In this episode, we talk to neurosurgeon and health visionary Dr. Jack Kruse. His work has reshaped the conversation on how our environment—sunlight, circadian rhythms, cold, and even the way our cells make water—directly impacts mental health, resilience, and human performance. This episode delves into the intricate relationship between mitochondria, mental health, and the environment. Dr. Kruse emphasizes the critical role of mitochondria in providing energy to neural circuits and how dysfunction can lead to various mental health issues. The discussion highlights the importance of environmental factors, particularly light exposure, in mental health recovery. Dr. Kruse advocates for a return to nature and the necessity of sunlight for optimal brain function, challenging conventional views on mental illness treatment.

“A great war can hardly be avoided any longer.” This is the story of Nazi Germany's aggressive territorial expansion and the start of WWII.   The Treaty of Versailles has long been a thorn in Adolf Hitler's side. Its troublesome limits on troops and technology pose challenges for a man bent on taking lebensraum and building a Grossdeuschland by any means necessary. So he starts quietly building planes and submarines. Then he starts publicly adding a few hundred thousand more soldiers. By 1936, he's ready to move. He remilitarizes the Rhineland. When that goes well, he only grows bolder. He takes Austria. He takes Czechoslovakia's Sudetenland.  Many European leaders—particularly those not named Winston Churchill—fail to grasp just how far the Fuhrer will go. They hope to “appease” him. But when Adolf strikes again, brazenly seizing the rest of Czechoslovakia, even British Prime Minister Neville Chamberlain is ready to draw a line. That line is Poland.Connect with us on HTDSpodcast.com and go deep into episode bibliographies and book recommendations join discussions in our Facebook community get news and discounts from The HTDS Gazette  come see a live show get HTDS merch or become an HTDS premium member for bonus episodes and other perks.

In March 1998, 10-year-old Natascha Kampusch was abducted on her way to school in Vienna, Austria. She would not be seen in public again for more than eight years.Held captive in a hidden basement by Wolfgang Přiklopil, Natascha endured unimaginable isolation and abuse. During her 3,096 days in captivity, she was cut off from the outside world, surviving in a small, windowless cell. Her eventual escape in August 2006 stunned the world and raised haunting questions about survival, trauma, and resilience.In this episode, we explore Natascha's early life, the day of her abduction, the years of confinement, and the remarkable moment she finally broke free. We also discuss the investigation, Přiklopil's actions, and Natascha's own powerful reflections on her ordeal and recovery.This is a story not only of cruelty but also of extraordinary strength and survival against overwhelming odds.For HUNDREDS more cases (and to request your own!), visit icmap.co.uk now and sign up for free!Presented by Tom Norris & Ben CarterWritten by Ben CarterProduced by Dan J LambertEdited by Ben Bonsey Hosted on Acast.

Portland city councilors are under fire for flying to Vienna, Austria, to “study” social housing — with taxpayers footing the bill. About 20 people, including three councilors, chiefs of staff, and housing bureau staff, are making the trip.Supporters say Vienna is the global “gold standard” for social housing and that seeing it in person will help Portland craft long-term solutions for affordable housing. Critics argue the trip is unnecessary, too expensive, and could have been done virtually.

Was the Grand Alliance simply a partnership born of necessity? Or was it also a missed opportunity for post-war civilizational cooperation among the United Kingdom, the United States and the Soviet Union? Once it became clear that the Allies would eventually defeat Hitler's Germany, the varying post-war ambitions and political goals of Stalin, Churchill and Roosevelt quickly brought cooperation to an end. Humanities West asks on the 80th anniversary of the end of World War II: What were Stalin's strategic goals for Russia's and its neighbors' futures as victory became assured? How did Churchill's strategies to retain as much as possible of the British Empire interfere with those goals? And was an aging Roosevelt capable of thwarting both those strategies and imposing, however inadequately and insincerely, a vision of Pax Americana on the globe? "From Their Archives" Norman Naimark will attempt to untangle what Stalin was thinking about how he wanted to shape the future once it was clear that the Allies would win the war. There is much we still do not know about Stalin's “real” intentions, but the opening of the Soviet archives for research in the 1990s offer important insights into the way the Soviet dictator thought about the world. "In Their Own Words" Ian Morris will convey, in their own words, Churchill's and Roosevelt's perspectives on the Grand Alliance and the post-war world order. Churchill: I can never trust Stalin but can in the fullness of time talk around Roosevelt; and even without India, we can rebuild the world with the British Empire at its core. Roosevelt: I can usually handle Stalin and can always flatter Churchill; it's the Republicans I can't abide. But even without them, we can rebuild the world with democracy and American money at its core. "Walking in a Father's WWII Footsteps" Bill Hammond will describe walking in a father's WWII footsteps, an October 2023 trip to Europe he took with two of his brothers, where they traced their father's path from his landing at Salerno, Italy, through Avellino, Monte Cassino and Rome, to his landing on the French Riviera at St. Raphael, and then up through Draguignan, Remiremont and the Foret Domaniale du Champ du Feu, earning two silver stars and two purple hearts before crossing the Rhine in a dash through southern Germany to finish the war near Kufstein, Austria.

"Pint-sized Bratislava has the unique distinction of being the only capital city in the world wedged by three countries. Just inside the border of Slovakia, the city is also sandwiched by Austria and Hungary. You can lay your eyes on those three countries from various perches around town." "Bratislava's old town is a little bon-bon, a perfectly formed tangle of twisting cobbled streets, studded with pastel-hued 18th century buildings. But far from simply being an urban relic from a bygone age, the Slovakian capital has an unmistakably cosmopolitan, contemporary feel and quirky personality, best exemplified by its infatuating public art installations."

In this Podathon For Recovery episode, Evie shares an extraordinary 44-year sobriety story—beginning with childhood trauma in post-war Austria, prescription drug misuse after a 1973 car accident, and the moment a newspaper listing led her to AA and a new life. She later sought help for sex addiction, moved to Los Angeles in 1982 for deeper recovery, and now helps clients as a coach and hypnotherapist. It's a candid, hopeful conversation about breaking cycles, choosing healing, and why support programs still save lives. Sponsored by Rage Against Addiction Guest Bio:  Evie is a recovery advocate with 44 years of sobriety (since March 31), a former journalist, and a coach/hypnotherapist who started her practice in 2014.

Her story spans Vienna to Los Angeles and demonstrates the power of AA, mentorship, and sustained inner work. Main Topics: ·         Podathon for Recovery: 12 Days of Hope benefiting Rage Against Addiction·         Childhood stress and early substance use in Austria; family trauma from the Holocaust era and post-war antisemitism ·         Codependency and marriage to an alcoholic; later escalation with prescriptions after a 1973 car accident and PTSD ·         The turning point: finding AA via a newspaper listing and committing to sobriety; first meetings in Vienna (including men-only and international groups) ·         Moving to Los Angeles in 1982, sober living, women's and mixed meetings; seeking help in Sex Addicts Anonymous ·         Long-term recovery practices; choosing singleness to avoid unhealthy patterns; sponsoring others and “Eskimo” outreach approach ·         Journalism career and interviews (e.g., Matthew Perry) touching on recovery; later training in spiritual psychology; launching a coaching/hypnotherapy practice in 2014 ·         Smoking/vaping discussion and health concerns; practical advice on timing help when peoSend us a textDonate HereRage Against AddictionRage Against Addiction is a non-profit organization dedicated to connecting addicts and their familiDisclaimer: This post contains affiliate links.

Ramona Ponzini"Supercondominio7"Dogliani (Cuneo)https://radis-crt.it/Sabato 6 e domenica 7 settembre 2025 a Dogliani (CN) si terrà la settima edizione di Supercondominio, l'assemblea degli spazi indipendenti europei di produzione e promozione dell'arte contemporanea. Supercondominioè nato nel 2018 al Castello di Rivoli Museo d'Arte Contemporanea su iniziativa dell'allora Direttore Carolyn Christov-Bakargiev, ideato insieme alle curatrici Caterina Molteni e Laura Lecce. Dopo le prime cinque edizioni al Castello di Rivoli, dal 2024 Supercondominio viene organizzato nei luoghi di Radis, il progetto d'arte nello spazio pubblico ideato e promosso dalla Fondazione per l'Arte Moderna e Contemporanea CRT, ente “art oriented” della Fondazione CRT, in collaborazione con Fondazione CRC.Supercondominio7, curato da Treti Galaxie, art project fondato da Matteo Mottin e Ramona Ponzini, è un appuntamento del public program di Radis e la sua settima edizione si terrà a Dogliani (Cuneo), nel cui territorio, e precisamente nella Borgata Valdibà, verrà realizzata dall'artista Petrit Halilaj l'opera d'arte della seconda edizione del progetto.“Siamo orgogliosi di curare la settima edizione di Supercondominio, per il secondo anno nella sua rinnovata veste di assemblea annuale degli spazi indipendenti europei, e come parte del public program di Radis”, dichiara Treti Galaxie. “Lo scorso anno l'incontro si è tenuto a Rittana. Questa edizione si svolgerà tra le vie di Dogliani, attraversate da geometrie architettoniche inattese che ne punteggiano le colline e il paesaggio urbano. Qui, progetti indipendenti italiani ed europei condivideranno spazio e tempo in un contesto di dialogo aperto, focalizzato sull'arte come terreno vivo di apprendimento reciproco, favorito dalle ricerche e dagli sguardi delle artiste Cleo Fariselli ed Elena Mazzi. Una riunione aperta al pubblico di individui che guardano ciascuno nella medesima direzione, ma da luoghi e prospettive diverse: come nelle raffigurazioni medievali di città e paesaggi, caratterizzate dall'assenza di un unico punto di fuga, a Dogliani si andrà a comporre una visione d'insieme di prospettive radicali sull'arte, sul presente e sulla trasmissione di sapere. Ci auguriamo che da questo raduno possano nascere nuovi sguardi, pensieri e collaborazioni in grado favorire la formazione di nuovi pubblici per l'arte”.Supercondominio ha l'obiettivo di attivare un dialogo tra spazi, artiste e artisti per favorire riflessioni, conoscenze reciproche, nuove sinergie e collaborazioni, attraverso momenti di condivisione con il pubblico. Il focus di quest'anno è sull'educazione, intesa come strumento di attivazione, scambio e apertura verso nuovi pubblici, comunità e territori.Durante il weekend, si incontreranno a Dogliani cinque realtà italiane e cinque provenienti dal resto dell'Europa: Almanac (Torino), ARTECO (Torino), CLOSING SOON (Atene, Grecia), Independent Space Index (Vienna, Austria), LOCALES (Roma), Open School East (Margate, Inghilterra), PIA School (Lecce), Post Disaster (Milano/Taranto), PUBLICS (Helsinki, Finlandia), Toast Project (Firenze). Si confronteranno per condividere pratiche, esperienze e metodologie educative attraverso talk, performance e momenti di dialogo con il pubblico. Un'occasione per riflettere su forme non convenzionali di relazione con lo spazio pubblico e su come l'educazione e la formazione possano diventare motore di trasformazione culturale e sociale. Nel corso della due giorni interverranno anche le artiste Cleo Fariselli ed Elena Mazzi.Le attività si terranno nel Teatro della Chiesa Sacra Famiglia, nella Biblioteca civica Luigi Einaudi e nella Sala del Consiglio Comunale di Dogliani: sabato 6 settembre a partire dalle ore 9.00, nel Teatro della Chiesa Sacra Famiglia, dopo il discorso di benvenuto inizieranno le presentazioni degli spazi ospiti (9.30-11; 11.30-13.00; 14.30-17.30). La prima giornata si chiuderà alle 18.00 con la performance U.dell'artista Cleo Fariselli, concepita dall'artista come un'esperienza intima e immersiva. Una serie di piccole opere, oggetti e reperti viene “attivata” attraverso il gesto e lo sguardo, passando direttamente dalle mani dell'artista a quelle dei partecipanti: più che una semplice mostra, U. è un rito di condivisione tattile e visiva. Questa performance, che dal 2012 viene replicata in contesti diversi e rivolta a piccoli gruppi di persone, mantiene la sua natura viva, situata e irripetibile, per offrire un'esperienza unica e mai uguale a se stessa.Domenica 7 settembre alla Biblioteca civica Luigi Einaudi,ore 9.30, Elena Mazzi presenterà una selezione di lavori realizzati negli anni in diversi contesti pubblici – di comunità, in dialogo con istituzioni o con spazi indipendenti – decostruendo il lavoro Europe calling, nato nel contesto di Ptuj Capitale Culturale Europea 2012 (Slovenia), in occasione del quale Mazzi coinvolse spazi indipendenti europei in un dialogo aperto sulle loro modalità di gestione e finanziamento. Il pubblico, invitato a telefonare direttamente, poteva confrontarsi con le realtà coinvolte, apprendendo dal basso strategie alternative di lavoro culturale indipendente. Al termine della presentazione di Elena Mazzi, Supercondominio7 si concluderà alle 10.45 nella Sala del Consiglio Comunale di Dogliani con la consueta tavola rotonda.Tutti gli eventi, che si terranno in lingua inglese, saranno aperti al pubblico.Supercondominio7 è parte del palinsesto di incontri estivi del public program di Radis, pensati per avvicinare il pubblico all'inaugurazione dell'opera di Petrit Halilaj, prevista per il 5 ottobre 2025 alle ore 11.30 nella Borgata Valdibà (Dogliani), che la Fondazione per l'Arte Moderna e Contemporanea CRT darà in comodato permanente al Comune di Dogliani.Il progetto Radis nasce per avvicinare l'arte contemporanea a un pubblico esteso e interviene in contesti non convenzionali e perarricchire il territorio piemontese con un patrimonio di opere d'arte pubblica per la comunità, con programmi educativi, incontri pubblici e progetti espositivi, concepiti per condividere e restituire alla collettività parte della collezione della Fondazione per l'Arte Moderna e Contemporanea CRT. Giunto alla seconda edizione, nuovamente in collaborazione con la Fondazione CRC, nel quadriennio 2024-2027 Radis produrrà opere nello spazio pubblico attraverso un percorso di coinvolgimento attivo di abitanti, enti locali e associazioni. Le nuove produzioni, in dialogo con le storie locali e il paesaggio, contribuiranno a creare un nuovo immaginario condiviso e potranno diventare leva per un turismo attento all'ambiente e alla sostenibilità.IL POSTO DELLE PAROLEascoltare fa pensarewww.ilpostodelleparole.itDiventa un supporter di questo podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/il-posto-delle-parole--1487855/support.

On July 9th, 1386 in a field near the Sempach lake., the armies of archduke Leopold of Austria line up against the forces of the city of Lucerne and the men of Uri, Schwyz and Nidwalden Much of what hads been told about this batte, the backstory of the Swiss Confederation and the objectives of the Habsburgs have been drenched in myth. Myths that are in the main debunked. That being said, the story is still dramatic and hugely important.The music for the show is Flute Sonata in E-flat major, H.545 by Carl Phillip Emmanuel Bach (or some claim it as BWV 1031 Johann Sebastian Bach) performed and arranged by Michel Rondeau under Common Creative Licence 3.0.As always:Homepage with maps, photos, transcripts and blog: www.historyofthegermans.comIf you wish to support the show go to: Support • History of the Germans PodcastFacebook: @HOTGPod Threads: @history_of_the_germans_podcastBluesky: @hotgpod.bsky.socialInstagram: history_of_the_germansTwitter: @germanshistoryTo make it easier for you to share the podcast, I have created separate playlists for some of the seasons that are set up as individual podcasts. they have the exact same episodes as in the History of the Germans, but they may be a helpful device for those who want to concentrate on only one season.

As we approach the 70th anniversary of the Eurovision Song Contest, it's fun to take a look at how the ESC was viewed just 10 years ago - some songs remain as classic as ever, while some songs aren't nearly as beloved as they once were (cough_Believe_cough). But Graham Norton and Petra Mede give us a rollicking 90 minutes of ESC hits, and we ain't complaining. Jeremy finally counts himself as a denizen of the Forest, Dimitry has strong feelings about one particular winner's return, and Oscar rediscovers an early 21st century gem from France.Watch Eurovision's Greatest Hits here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3ceireJeEwwVisit the archived website for the show here: https://web.archive.org/web/20150406071646/http://60th.eurovision.tv/Watch Electro Velvet's pre-show performance here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1iCwAUVTVdMThis week's companion playlist: https://open.spotify.com/playlist/6bSicY5EAEgPCQ3NhnB96x The Eurovangelists are Jeremy Bent, Oscar Montoya and Dimitry Pompée.The theme was arranged and recorded by Cody McCorry and Faye Fadem, and the logo was designed by Tom Deja.Production support for this show was provided by the Maximum Fun network.The show is edited by Jeremy Bent with audio mixing help was courtesy of Shane O'Connell.Find Eurovangelists on social media as @eurovangelists on Instagram and @eurovangelists.com on Bluesky, or send us an email at eurovangelists@gmail.com.

Welcome to the Passion for Italy Podcast. Gemma from Passion for Italy Travel is interviewing Stephen Copeland and Meredith Brice – both amazing Australian artists, who have renovated and restored a beautiful apartment La Bella Casa in Conzano, situated in the wine region of Monferato, in the region Piemonte in Italy. They also off Heritage Collage Workshops and have created a Migration Art Musuem in Conzano. The couple are currently departing for Italy to also renovate an old barn to become more workspace for the project.1. A Creative Residency in Conzano 993 · Passion For Italy TravelThe couple have opened up their lovely apartment to become the Quentin Bryce Creative residency for certain months of the year.The Creative in-Residence Program is intended to be diverse and be offered to all individuals involved in the arts, literature and all areas that has at its heart - "to make and create more humane society". Successful applicants can also use the time to write a memory, a heritage story or research their family migratory history, any from of creative research and development is encouraged. Become part of the Migration as Art Museum alumni. The discussion focuses on the residency program in Conzano, Italy, where participants can engage in research or reflection in a supportive environment. Stephen Copland explained that the program is open to anyone who aligns with the goal of serving others, regardless of their background or field of research, and emphasized that the location offers a traditional and authentic Italian experience. He describes Conzano's proximity to larger towns, its accessibility by public transport, and the cultural activities available in the area, including music and art events. Gemma inquired about the logistics and amenities, and Stephen provided details about the village's facilities and the program's cost, which covers the expenses of running the apartment for a month.2. Art Workshops for Heritage and Ancestry StoriesInternational Heritage Book Workshop Piemonte · Passion For Italy TravelStephen Copland discussed his Landscape of Heritage Workshop, which grew out of his personal art practice and interest in tracing his grandmother's family history from Cuba to Lebanon. He explaines how he transformed his grandmother's diary and postcard album into visual art, using collage techniques and simple shadow printing methods. The workshop, which includes an educational component, encourages participants to explore their own heritage through visual storytelling, using methods like lifelines and abstraction to create personal visual objects.Stephen and Meredith describe the art workshops, that help participants explore their family histories and migration stories through visual art, noting that the workshops are particularly powerful for those, who lack family connections. He explains that while the workshops began in Austria and have been adapted for different languages and cultures, the universal language of art allows participants to express complex emotions and stories through visual means. 3. Migration Art Museum in Conzano. https://migrationasartmuseum.au/Stephen and Meredith discussed the establishment of a migration art museum in Italy, which was supported by the mayor Emmanuel de Maria. The museum, located in a restored apartment, focuses on themes of heritage, migration, and cultural exchange. Copland highlighted the importance of empathy and soft diplomacy through art, referencing works like "The Raft of the Medusa" and a transit show in Dubai. The Museum has attracted interest from a lot of people and the couple are taking over more art work from the workshops to put in their Art MuseumYou can see the art works and workshops of Stephen Copeland and Meredith Brice here.https://migrationasartmuseum.au/ Produced by Gemma Green Close, Passion For Italy Travel. pfitravel.com. info@pfitravel.com

En la primera cita a ciegas de la temporada, 'Usted no sabe con quien está hablando', nos hemos encontrado en el Museo Británico de Londres con el director artístico del Benidorm Fest 2026. Sergio Jaén con 24 años ha consolidado una sólida experiencia internacional, tras dirigir la actuación del representante de Austria, Johannes Pietsch con su 'Waisted Love', ganador del festival de Eurovisión con una puesta en escena de impacto. Nos ha contado que ser director creativo de proyectos audiovisuales significa que tienes que hacer de guionista, diseñador, dibujante, músico, realizador... Jaén ha destacado que sus partes favoritas cuando era pequeño eran los "behind the scenes", los detrás de cámaras, y que ahora sigue siendo "un trabajo muy loco, a raíz de una idea muy loca, pero que tiene que funcionar".

In late July, President Trump signed an executive order to get rid of de minimis, a kind of a loophole where packages valued less than $800 could come into the US without tariffs. Last week, post offices from India to Austria to France suspended some types of packages to the US. We speak to an Australian jewelry maker, a logistics expert and an economist to learn how this is changing shopping in America.Related episodes: Three ways companies are getting around tariffs What olive oil tells us about Trump's tariffsWhat is Temu?For sponsor-free episodes of The Indicator from Planet Money, subscribe to Planet Money+ via Apple Podcasts or at plus.npr.org.

Today's witnesses are from an email my friend in the Prayer Group received. She gets a daily email from www.dailyrosarymeditations.com Every day, it gives five snippets, each to encourage reflection on praying one mystery of the rosary. She found this day's snippets particularly powerful and wanted to share it. They are all about how Mary will conquer, and they are written by Mike Scherschligt.One - The Bishop I have become friends with Bishop Oliver Doeme Dashe, the Bishop of Maiduguri in North East Nigeria. In 2009 the Muslim terrorist group Boko Haram, which means “Western Education is Evil” began to attack Christians in his diocese.  In 2014 Boko Haram completely overran his diocese. The Nigerian military dropped their weapons and fled like children. Thousands of Catholics were killed, two hundred Church structures were burned, and one hundred thousand Catholics fled for their lives to neighboring countries. Fr. William, a priest from the diocese, told me as he drove from parish to parish to celebrate Mass, that the roads were littered with dead bodies. At any moment, he could be surrounded by Boko Haram, dragged from his car, and shot. In October of 2014 Bishop Oliver went before Our Lord Jesus in Eucharistic Adoration, traumatized and trembling, and began to pray the Rosary. Suddenly, Jesus appeared to the Bishop in a vision, holding a very long sword in his hands. When he saw Jesus, the Bishop said, “Lord, what is this?” He didn't answer, but he stretched out his arms and put the sword into the hands of Bishop Oliver. When he received the sword, it turned into a Rosary. Then Jesus spoke these words three times: “Boko Haram is gone! Boko Haram is gone! Boko Haram is gone!” And the vision ended. The message was clear, with the Rosary we shall conquer!At that time Boko Haram had complete control of the diocese. If anyone was seen or caught in public as a Catholic, Boko Haram would instantly kill them. Yet, despite the danger, Bishop Oliver began to go village to village and organize public Rosary processions. From the moment the people began public Rosary processions, Boko Haram has been driven out of his diocese. The Churches are being rebuilt, all of his parishioners have come back, and 97% of his diocese go to Mass every Sunday. Most importantly, the Church in his diocese is growing from strength to strength. At one parish alone, Bishop Oliver brought five hundred new adults into the Church. Mary came down through the Rosary and sent Boko Haram packing!Two - Austria  As we sat together and Bishop Oliver told me of these miraculous events, he said to me, “Michael, this is not the first time Our Mother has sent evil forces packing by the power of Rosary processions. Do you remember what took place in Austria after World War Two? Did you know that much of Austria was under the Iron Curtain after World War Two?” I did know, but I loved hearing it again from Bishop Oliver, so I didn't let on. After World War Two, Austria was divided up by the Allies. The Eastern half of the country and Vienna came under the control of the Soviets. Until 1991, the Soviets never lost a nation, but something different happened here. Fr. Petrus Pavlicek was inspired by the words of Our Lady at Fatima. She asked us to pray the Rosary every day because only she could help us.From 1947 to 1955, Fr. Pavlicek began gathering people in villages, towns, and cities across Soviet controlled Austria on the 13th of each month to pray the Rosary together in public. He called it the Rosary Crusade. Many people gathered at first, but they could not sustain their spiritual practices, so the Rosary Crusade ebbed and flowed. But Fr. Petrus persevered in his confidence in Our Lady. By 1955, eight years later, half a million Austrians had pledged to pray the Rosary, begging for the conversion of sinners, peace in the world and freedom in Austria. The Cold War intensified as the Soviets crushed the Hungarians. However, on March 24th, 1955, Eve of the Annunciation, to the world's surprise, the Soviets announced they would withdraw their troops from Austria in just three months. On May 15th, 1955, the Soviets signed a treaty guaranteeing the independence of Austria. In October of 1955, the month of the Rosary, the last Russian soldier left Austrian soil.Mary came down through the Rosary and sent the enemy packing!Three - BrazilIn 1964, the president of Brazil, João Goulart, wanted to make Brazil a Communist country. The archbishop of Rio de Janeiro, Cardinal de Barros Camara, in an address on national radio, called the people to resist publicly by praying the Rosary. President Goulart was so enraged that he insulted the people of Brazil in a public speech. He ridiculed the rosary, saying that it was his Marxist ideas that would reform and save Brazil, not the rosaries of simple women. That was a big mistake!Twenty thousand women hit the streets with their rosaries. They marched right into the midst of the Communist rally and prayed the rosary so loudly that it shut the rally down. On March 19th, more than 600,000 people marched through the streets of São Paolo praying the rosary in the famous “March of the Family with God toward Freedom.” President Goulart was so intimidated by the Rosary that he fled the country! Once again, Our Mother came down through Rosary and sent the enemy packing!Four - Philippines Ferdinand Marcos was an evil dictator who oppressed the Filipino people for twenty years. In 1986, hundreds of thousands of Filipinos rose up in a non-violent protest against the dictatorship. They filled the main highway and knelt before tanks and soldiers to pray the Rosary. President Marcos commanded the soldiers to run over the people with their tanks. Then Our Lady appeared to soldiers and to the entire crowd. She commanded the soldiers to stop their tanks and to do no harm to the people because she was the Queen of Heaven. That night, President Marcos fled the country.Once again, Mary came down through the Rosary and sent the enemy packing.  Five - The Danger of Comfort and ComplacencyBishop Oliver said, “Michael, you must come to Nigeria!” But I said, “No way! It's too dangerous, you might be dead before I get there.” Then I said, “Bishop Oliver – we are facing a more dangerous enemy in the West. We are not facing an enemy that can kill the body, but an enemy that is killing the souls of our loved ones with Materialism, comfort, isolation, and loneliness. We have everything we need, so we think we don't need God or each other.”Then Bishop Oliver said to me, “Let your people know that being close to Mary is the solution to all their challenges in this world. They should consecrate and reconsecrate themselves and their families to the Immaculate Heart of Mary. Did not Mary say at Fatima, “God wants to establish in the world devotion to My Immaculate Heart – wanting to save it by this means.” Pray the Rosary every day and invite someone to pray with you, even if it means you have to change your routine. Finally, live the First Saturdays of Reparation as Mary requested, that on the first Saturday of five consecutive months, go to Mass, pray the Rosary, and go to Confession.” Bishop Oliver ended by saying very passionately, “Mary will conquer! But she needs your cooperation.” If you would like to receive these daily emails, you can go to www.dailyrosarymeditations.com.

Rudolf IV of Habsburg (1339–1365), son of Albrecht “the Wise,” reigned as Duke of Austria for just seven years but left a lasting mark. Born when the dynasty seemed close to extinction, Rudolf secured Austria's survival and prestige. Politically, he sought to elevate Vienna by founding the University of Vienna (1365) and beginning construction of St. Stephen's Cathedral. Though he fulfilled his father's ambition to gain the Tyrol, the family fell behind their rivals, namely the Luxemburgs.Rudolf's most audacious act was the Privilegium Maius, a set of forged charters claiming ancient Roman emperors had granted Austria near-sovereign status, primogeniture, and the unique title of Archduke. Though denounced by Petrarch as absurd, the documents shaped Habsburg identity for centuries and underpinned later power.By creating myths of divine and heroic origins, Rudolf forged a sense of Habsburg exceptionalism. Though dying young without heirs, he truly was “the Founder.”The music for the show is Flute Sonata in E-flat major, H.545 by Carl Phillip Emmanuel Bach (or some claim it as BWV 1031 Johann Sebastian Bach) performed and arranged by Michel Rondeau under Common Creative Licence 3.0.As always:Homepage with maps, photos, transcripts and blog: www.historyofthegermans.comIf you wish to support the show go to: Support • History of the Germans PodcastFacebook: @HOTGPod Threads: @history_of_the_germans_podcastBluesky: @hotgpod.bsky.socialInstagram: history_of_the_germansTwitter: @germanshistoryTo make it easier for you to share the podcast, I have created separate playlists for some of the seasons that are set up as individual podcasts. they have the exact same episodes as in the History of the Germans, but they may be a helpful device for those who want to concentrate on only one season.

District courts recorded 4,007 bankruptcies, marking a 19.2 percent increase from the previous year, according to the Federal Statistical Office. Unemployment has also risen sharply, approaching levels not seen in a decade. The number of unemployed stands at 2.98 million, up 170,000 from last year, with 125,000 layoffs announced since July 1, as reported by the Initiative Neue Soziale Marktwirtschaft. Source: thegatewaypundit.com European Postal Services Suspend Shipment of Packages to US over Tariffs  Multiple postal services around Europe announced Saturday that they are suspending the shipment of many packages to the United States amid a lack of clarity over new import duties. Postal services in Germany, Denmark, Sweden and Italy said they will stop shipping most merchandise to the U.S. effective immediately. France and Austria will follow Monday, and the United Kingdom Tuesday. Under a decree signed by President Donald Trump last month, international goods that were previously exempt from U.S. tariffs – those valued under $800 – will be subject to import duties from Aug. 29. Letters, books, gifts and small parcels worth less than $100 will continue to be exempt. A trade framework agreed by the U.S. and the European Union last month set a 15% tariff on the vast majority of products shipped from the EU. Many European postal services say they are pausing deliveries now because they cannot guarantee the goods will enter the U.S. before Aug. 29. They cite ambiguity about what kind of goods are covered by the new rules, and the lack of time to process their implications.
