China's recent prosperity has made many of its citizens richer, even the beggars! Realizing that they can make more money from the goodwill of others as opposed to working on their own, some beggars on China's streets aren't in desperate need; they're professionals looking to make a living. In this lesson, learn about the phenomenon of professional beggars and what you can do to tell the real ones from the fake ones. Episode link: https://www.chinesepod.com/2062

CardioNerds (Dr. Billy-Joe Mullinax, Dr. Dinu Balanescu, and Dr. Jane Ehret) discuss risk stratification in acute pulmonary embolism with Dr. Stavros Konstantinides, Chair of the 2019 ESC Pulmonary Embolism Guidelines. Using a real-world case, this episode explores how modern PE care has moved beyond “massive” and “submassive” labels toward a dynamic, physiology-based approach. The discussion highlights the limitations of static risk scores, the importance of right ventricular dysfunction and biomarkers, and why normotension does not imply stability. Special emphasis is placed on intermediate-high risk PE, early identification of impending hemodynamic collapse, and the role of lactate, serial reassessment, and PERT teams in guiding escalation of care. Audio editing by CardioNerds intern, Joshua Khorsandi.The 2026 American multi-society PE guidelines were published after this episode was recorded. Dr. Dinu Balanescu and Dr. Billy-Joe Mullinax are Co-chairs for the CardioNerds PE Series, developed in collaboration with the PERT Consortium.   Enjoy this Circulation 2022 Paths to Discovery article to learn about the CardioNerds story, mission, and values.

Pearls Stable blood pressure does not mean low risk in PEHypotension is a late finding. Patients may have severe RV failure, hypoxia, and tissue hypoperfusion while remaining normotensive — a key concept behind “normotensive shock.” Risk stratification in PE must be dynamic, not staticLegacy scores like PESI and Bova provide a snapshot and predict 30-day mortality, but they do not capture short-term trajectory or impending hemodynamic collapse. Intermediate-high risk PE is a dangerous and heterogeneous groupPatients with RV dysfunction, positive biomarkers, tachycardia, hypoxemia, and elevated lactate may have in-hospital mortality approaching 15%, rivaling STEMI. Lactate is a critical but underutilized marker in PEElevated lactate reflects tissue hypoxia and early circulatory failure and may identify patients at risk for collapse before blood pressure declines. PERT enables physiology-driven, patient-centered PE carePERT teams operationalize continuous reassessment, integrate imaging, labs, and clinical trajectory, and allow timely escalation — shifting PE management from rigid categories to real-time decision-making. Notes Drafted by Dr. Jane Ehret. 1. What is the contemporary framework for risk stratification in acute pulmonary embolism? Modern PE risk stratification prioritizes hemodynamics and right ventricular (RV) function rather than clot burden. The 2019 ESC Guidelines classify PE into high risk, intermediate risk (low vs high), and low risk, based on: Hemodynamic status, RV dysfunction on imaging, and Cardiac biomarkers. This framework emphasizes early mortality risk but requires clinical context to guide escalation decisions. 2. Why is normotension insufficient to define “stability” in PE? Blood pressure is a late marker of circulatory failure in PE. Patients can maintain normal BP through Tachycardia, Increased sympathetic tone, and RV compensation. Many patients with preserved BP may already have shock physiology, including hypoxemia, elevated lactate, and RV failure — sometimes referred to as “normotensive shock.” 3. How should intermediate-risk PE be conceptualized clinically? Intermediate-risk PE is heterogeneous, ranging from patients who do well on anticoagulation to those who deteriorate rapidly. Intermediate-high risk PE is defined by RV dysfunction on imaging and positive cardiac biomarkers. Clinical features such as tachycardia, increasing oxygen requirement, and elevated lactate identify patients at highest risk within this group. 4. What are the strengths and limitations of commonly used PE risk scores? Legacy scores are useful for initial risk categorization but are static and limited in predicting short-term deterioration. Most scores were developed to predict mortality or complications at fixed time points rather than dynamic clinical trajectory. 5. What are the commonly used risk scores and clinical tools in PE, and what is each designed to predict? ESC Risk Stratification Algorithm: Identifies high-risk PE by hemodynamics. Uses PESI or sPESI in normotensive patients to distinguish low-risk from non–low-risk PE. Uses RV dysfunction and biomarkers to differentiate intermediate-low from intermediate-high risk. Forms the basis of many institutional PE pathways. PESI and sPESI: Validated to predict 30-day mortality. Widely used to identify low-risk patients appropriate for outpatient management. Heavily influenced by age and comorbidities. Bova Score: Predicts 30-day PE-related complications in normotensive patients. Composite PE Shock Score (CPES): Predicts normotensive shock in hemodynamically stable PE patients. Pulmonary Embolism Progression (PEP) Score: Predicts progression from intermediate-risk to high-risk PE within 72 hours of diagnosis. PE Short-term Clinical Outcomes Risk Estimation (PE-SCORE): Predicts clinical deterioration or death within 5 days of PE diagnosis. Hestia Criteria: Identifies low-risk PE patients safe for outpatient treatment. Wells' Criteria and Revised Geneva Score: Determine pretest probability for diagnostic triage. PERC Score: Rules out PE in very low-risk patients. 6. What is the role of biomarkers in PE risk stratification? Troponin and natriuretic peptides reflect RV myocardial injury and strain. Current guidelines treat biomarkers as binary (positive vs negative), despite risk being continuous. Biomarkers are most helpful for: Initial risk classification. They are less useful for: Short-interval monitoring and Detecting rapid clinical deterioration. 7. Why is lactate an important physiologic marker in PE? Lactate reflects global tissue hypoxia and impaired perfusion. Elevated lactate may identify patients with: Early circulatory failure and Increased risk of imminent hemodynamic collapse. Lactate is not currently included in ESC risk algorithms but may add important prognostic information in intermediate-risk patients. 8. How does trajectory influence decision-making in PE management? Risk stratification should be viewed as a dynamic process, not a one-time label. Worsening clinical trajectory may include: Rising heart rate, Increasing oxygen needs, Rising lactate, and Progressive RV dysfunction. Serial reassessment is essential for timely escalation of care. 9. What role do Pulmonary Embolism Response Teams (PERT) play in risk stratification? PERT facilitates: Multidisciplinary decision-making and Integration of imaging, biomarkers, and clinical physiology. PERT is most valuable for: Intermediate-risk and high-risk PE and Patients with complex comorbidities or uncertain trajectory. PERT enables a shift from category-based to physiology-driven PE care.

Nous commencerons notre partie consacrée à l'actualité en parlant des négociations tendues entre les États-Unis, le Groenland et le Danemark à propos de l'avenir du Groenland. Nous discuterons ensuite d'un accord pris entre trente-six pays, qui a pour but d'établir un tribunal spécial à La Haye pour juger le président russe Vladimir Poutine pour le crime d'agression contre l'Ukraine. Dans notre section scientifique, nous parlerons d'une société gouvernée par une intelligence artificielle et dirigée par un conseil de robots inspirés de figures historiques telles que Winston Churchill, Eleanor Roosevelt, Nelson Mandela et Gandhi. Enfin, nous évoquerons le plus grand événement musical d'Europe : l'Eurovision.    Nous commencerons notre partie consacrée à l'actualité en parlant des négociations tendues entre les États-Unis, le Groenland et le Danemark à propos de l'avenir du Groenland. Nous discuterons ensuite d'un accord pris entre trente-six pays, qui a pour but d'établir un tribunal spécial à La Haye pour juger le président russe Vladimir Poutine pour le crime d'agression contre l'Ukraine. Dans notre section scientifique, nous parlerons d'une société gouvernée par une intelligence artificielle et dirigée par un conseil de robots inspirés de figures historiques telles que Winston Churchill, Eleanor Roosevelt, Nelson Mandela et Gandhi. Enfin, nous évoquerons le plus grand événement musical d'Europe : l'Eurovision. - Malgré la situation mondiale catastrophique, les États-Unis continuent de faire pression sur le Groenland - 36 pays créent un tribunal chargé de juger Vladimir Poutine - Une nouvelle micronation asiatique est dirigée par des robots inspirés de leaders historiques - La Bulgarie remporte l'Eurovision pour la première fois - La chanteuse française Monroe obtient la 11e place au concours de l'Eurovision - La France devra prochainement adopter une loi sur la transparence salariale

Apriremo la nostra rubrica di attualità con una discussione sui tesi colloqui tra Stati Uniti, Groenlandia e Danimarca riguardo al futuro della Groenlandia. Il dialogo successivo verterà sull'accordo siglato da trentasei Paesi per istituire un tribunale speciale all'Aia con l'obiettivo di processare il Presidente russo Vladimir Putin per il crimine di aggressione contro l'Ucraina. Nella nostra sezione scientifica parleremo di una società governata dall'intelligenza artificiale, gestita da un consiglio di bot di IA modellati su leader storici come Winston Churchill, Eleanor Roosevelt, Nelson Mandela e Gandhi. E infine, parleremo del più grande evento musicale d'Europa, l'Eurovision Song Contest.    La seconda parte di questa puntata è dedicata alla lingua e alla cultura italiana. L'argomento grammaticale di oggi è The indefinite pronouns: alcuni and altri. Ne troverete diversi esempi nel dialogo dedicato all'invasione dei pavoni a Punta Marina, una frazione di Ravenna: un caso locale diventato clamorosamente mediatico. Nel finale, daremo spazio all'espressione idiomatica del giorno, mettere nel dimenticatoio, attraverso il ricordo di Alex Zanardi, ex pilota automobilistico e atleta paralimpico tra i più famosi in Italia. - Nonostante le altre crisi mondiali, gli Stati Uniti continuano a spingere per un accordo sulla Groenlandia - 36 Paesi istituiscono un tribunale per processare Vladimir Putin - Una nuova micronazione asiatica è governata da bot di intelligenza artificiale modellati su leader storici - La Bulgaria vince per la prima volta l'Eurovision Song Contest - Il caso dei pavoni a Punta Marina - Alex Zanardi, il campione che ci ha insegnato a vivere

It's well-known that table manners can vary a bit from culture to culture, and that Chinese table manners can sometimes be interpreted as "interesting" abroad.

learn what's happening in July

Comenzaremos la primera parte del programa hablando del viaje de Delcy Rodríguez a La Haya por una disputa territorial entre Venezuela y Guyana; y de la posibilidad de adelantar las vacaciones escolares en México por el Mundial 2026. Hablaremos también del cumpleaños número 100 del naturalista británico David Attenborough y su legado para el mundo de la ciencia; y por último, de la Bienal de Venecia 2026, que bajo el título "Minor Keys" (Claves Menores), explora la sanación colectiva con obras sonoras e inmersivas.   Como siempre estará dedicada a la lengua y cultura de América Latina. El diálogo gramatical ilustrará ejemplos de Se Emotivo and Se Aspectual mientras hablamos de la mandioca o yuca, un alimento clave para los paraguayos. Cerraremos la emisión explorando el uso de la frase Cada loco con su tema. En este segmento hablaremos de las Cuevas de K'anba en el norte Guatemala. - Delcy Rodríguez viaja a La Haya por disputa territorial con Guyana - México evalúa cambiar el calendario escolar por la Copa del Mundo - El gran naturalista David Attenborough cumple cien años - Comienza la Bienal de Venecia en medio de polémicas - La mandioca, el pan de los paraguayos - Las cuevas más visitadas de Guatemala

Comme toujours, nous consacrerons la première partie de notre émission à l'actualité. Notre premier sujet de discussion s'inspire d'un article paru dans le magazine The Atlantic. L'auteur de l'article affirme que les États-Unis ont subi une défaite dans leur confrontation avec l'Iran qui pourrait avoir des conséquences irréparables. Ensuite, nous parlerons d'une enquête pénale française sur Elon Musk et son réseau social, X. Il est entre autres accusé de diffusion d'images pédopornographiques et de deepfakes, de désinformation, ainsi que de complicité dans la contestation de crimes contre l'humanité par le biais de l'IA de X, Grok. Dans notre section scientifique de la semaine, nous nous intéresserons à une étude qui révèle que les perroquets sauvages imitent leurs congénères lorsqu'ils goûtent des aliments qu'ils ne connaissent pas. Et nous conclurons la première partie de l'émission d'aujourd'hui par une discussion sur la 61e Biennale de Venise, qui a commencé le 9 mai dans un contexte de tensions géopolitiques et de manifestations.   Le reste de l'émission d'aujourd'hui sera consacré à la langue et à la culture françaises. Notre point de grammaire de la semaine sera : The Conjunctive Phrases à moins que, au cas où, au point que, aussi bien que, and aussitôt que. Nous parlerons d'une question qui inquiète beaucoup de Français : connaîtrons-nous des pénuries de carburant cet été ? Nous terminerons par l'expression de la semaine, « Prendre la poudre d'escampette ». Nous discuterons d'un rapport français de 1999 sur les ovnis, le rapport COMETA. Ce rapport, qui vient d'être republié par le Pentagone, défend l'hypothèse d'une vie extraterrestre. - Conflit avec l'Iran : Les États-Unis sont-ils en train de perdre ? - Les autorités françaises avancent dans leur enquête pénale sur Grok, l'IA d'Elon Musk - Les perroquets sauvages imitent leurs congénères lorsqu'ils goûtent un aliment inconnu - La Biennale de Venise 2026 dominée par les polémiques politiques - Aurons-nous du carburant cet été ? - Un rapport français de 1999 défend l'hypothèse de la vie extraterrestre

Come sempre, dedichiamo la prima parte della nostra trasmissione a una discussione sull'attualità. La nostra prima conversazione prende spunto da un articolo pubblicato sulla rivista The Atlantic. L'autore sostiene che gli Stati Uniti potrebbero aver subito una sconfitta nel confronto con l'Iran e che la perdita strategica americana non possa più essere recuperata. Poi, parleremo di un'indagine penale francese contro Elon Musk e la sua piattaforma social X. Le accuse includono la diffusione di immagini di abusi sessuali su minori, deepfake, disinformazione e complicità nella negazione di crimini contro l'umanità attraverso il sistema di intelligenza artificiale di X, Grok. Nella nostra rubrica scientifica della settimana parleremo di uno studio che rivela che i pappagalli selvatici imitano gli altri pappagalli quando provano cibi nuovi e sconosciuti. E concluderemo la prima parte del programma di oggi con una discussione sulla 61ª Biennale di Venezia, inaugurata il 9 maggio in un clima di forti tensioni geopolitiche e proteste diffuse.   La seconda parte di questa puntata è dedicata alla lingua e alla cultura italiana. L'argomento grammaticale di oggi è The indefinite pronouns: qualcosa, niente, and nulla. Ne troverete diversi esempi nel dialogo dedicato alla nuova ordinanza del Comune di Livorno contro la pipì dei cani in strada. Un confronto che parte da un problema giudicato da molti cittadini fastidioso e maleodorante. Nel finale, daremo spazio all'espressione idiomatica del giorno: essere all'altezza in un confronto su Silvia Salis, sindaca di Genova e figura emergente della politica italiana, sempre più presente al centro del dibattito pubblico nazionale. - Gli Stati Uniti stanno perdendo il confronto con l'Iran? - Le autorità francesi proseguono le indagini penali contro Grok, l'intelligenza artificiale di Musk - I pappagalli selvatici imitano gli altri pappagalli quando provano cibi nuovi e sconosciuti - Le polemiche politiche caratterizzano l'edizione 2026 della Biennale di Venezia - Pipì dei cani, a Livorno serve la bottiglietta - Silvia Salis, la promessa che scuote la politica italiana

En este episodio del Intermediate Spanish Podcast hablamos sobre uno de los temas más importantes del futuro: la inteligencia artificial, la automatización del trabajo y la renta básica universal.¿La IA va a destruir millones de empleos? ¿Qué pasará con los trabajadores en un mundo cada vez más automatizado? ¿Necesitaremos una renta básica universal para sobrevivir? ¿Y qué significa realmente “trabajar” en una sociedad dominada por la tecnología?A través de ejemplos claros y explicaciones en español intermedio, exploramos conceptos como la productividad, el desplazamiento laboral, la concentración de riqueza, la automatización, el consumo y el impacto social de la inteligencia artificial. También reflexionamos sobre cómo las revoluciones tecnológicas del pasado, como la Revolución Industrial, cambiaron la economía y la vida de las personas.Este episodio es perfecto para estudiantes de español de nivel intermedio que quieren mejorar su comprensión auditiva mientras aprenden vocabulario útil relacionado con economía, tecnología, sociedad y trabajo.00:00 La Revolución Industrial y la IA – Intermediate Spanish00:53 Inteligencia artificial y renta básica universal – Immersive Spanish02:11 ¿Un mundo sin trabajo? – Spanish Listening Practice03:14 Qué es la productividad – Learn Spanish Naturally05:16 Revoluciones industriales y tecnología – Spanish Comprehensible Input06:03 El desempleo tecnológico y la automatización – Real Spanish Conversation07:02 Cómo uso la IA en mi trabajo – Authentic Spanish Listening07:49 La IA y la pérdida de empleos – Advanced Topics in Spanish10:13 Concentración de riqueza y grandes tecnológicas – Spanish Culture Podcast11:16 Qué es la renta básica universal – Spanish for Intermediate Learners15:23 ¿Y si trabajar fuera opcional? – Conversational Spanish17:56 El futuro del trabajo y los idiomas – Spanish DiscussionFree eBooks: Habla español con AI & La guía del estudiante de españolMis cursos online:Español Camaleón - A REALISTIC pronunciation courseEspañol Ágil - Intermediate SpanishEspañol PRO - Advanced SpanishEspañol Claro - Upper-beginner SpanishSi no sabes cuál es mejor para ti, haz el TEST.Intermediate Spanish Podcast with Free Transcript & Vocabulary Flashcards www.spanishlanguagecoach.com - Aprende español escuchando contenido natural adaptado para estudiantes de español de nivel intermedio.Si es la primera vez que escuchas este podcast, puedes usarlo como un podcast diario para aprender español - Learn Spanish Daily Podcast with Spanish Language CoachSocial media:YouTubeInstagram...

In this episode we answer emails from Milo, Scott, and Joel.  We discuss bad advisor incentives and how to classify them by their business models, identify the only business model you want to patronize, and then move on to Treasury STRIPS and rebalancing realities, practical withdrawal mechanics with a test portfolio, and why Bitcoin's high correlation to tech stocks undermines its role as a diversifier. We also celebrate the final results of the Fairfax CASA matching campaign and share a thank-you message from their executive director.Links:Classifying Financial Advisors By Their Business Models:  Interacting with the Financial Services Industry with SC GutierrezKitces Article on Rebalancing:  Optimal Rebalancing – Time Horizons Vs Tolerance BandsBuilding a Sample Portfolio Video:  We Built a 5% SWR Retirement Portfolio Using Fidelity in 48 Minutes (Golden Ratio Portfolio) - YouTubeVideo on Managed Futures and SDMF:  Simplify SDMF in Focus - YouTubeBreathless Unedited AI-Bot Summary:A matching donor puts $20,000 on the table, the audience steps up, and suddenly Fairfax CASA is funded far beyond what anyone expected. We start with that story because it says something important about this community: you can be serious about investing and still lead with empathy. We share the final campaign results and a message from Fairfax CASA's executive director about what this support means for children navigating foster care and the court system.Then we shift back to what Risk Parity Radio does best: practical emails from DIY investors who want clearer rules and fewer regrets. We talk about the “67-fund portfolio” problem, why complexity is often a sales tactic, and how to screen out conflicted advice from banks, credit unions, insurance shops, and big marketing-heavy firms. We also dig into the AUM model versus flat fee and hourly planning, plus why smart retirement planning often comes down to tax planning and behavioral discipline more than picking the perfect fund.From there, we get hands-on with portfolio construction and process. We cover Treasury STRIPS funds like GOVZ, why you cannot reliably time the best rebalancing moment during a recession, and what to do instead with partial rebalancing or rebalancing bands. We also answer a nuts-and-bolts withdrawal question using a test portfolio approach, and we close with a straight take on Bitcoin correlation: if it moves with stocks, it is not diversification. Along the way, we explain what “alternative assets” really means and why gold and managed futures keep showing up in risk parity style asset allocation.Subscribe, share this with a friend who's tired of salesy advice, and leave a review so more investors can find the show.Support the show

Como siempre, dedicaremos la primera parte del programa a comentar la actualidad. El primer tema de discusión está relacionado con un artículo de la revista The Atlantic. El autor del artículo asegura que Estados Unidos podría haber sufrido una derrota en su confrontación con Irán, y que la pérdida estratégica estadounidense no tiene remedio. Después, hablaremos de una investigación penal francesa a Elon Musk y su red social X. Las acusaciones incluyen diseminar imágenes de abusos sexuales infantiles, deepfakes, desinformación, y complicidad con la negación de crímenes contra la humanidad a través de Grok, el sistema de IA de X. En la noticia de ciencia de la semana, hablaremos de un estudio que indica que los loros silvestres copian a otros loros cuando prueban nuevos tipos de comida. Y concluiremos la primera parte del programa de hoy discutiendo la 61ª Bienal de Venecia, que se inauguró el 9 de mayo en medio de protestas e intensas tensiones geopolíticas. El resto del episodio de hoy lo dedicaremos a la lengua y la cultura españolas. La primera conversación incluirá ejemplos del tema de gramática de la semana, Se emotivo and Se aspectual. En esta conversación hablaremos de una investigación y un juicio que cambió la legislación española de la protección animal. Una trabajadora de la empresa Vivotecnia grabó horas y horas de maltrato a animales en este laboratorio. Entregó esas pruebas a una ONG y esta denunció a la empresa. Hoy en día, aunque los laboratorios continúan usando animales para probar sus medicamentos, los protocolos son más exigentes. Y, en nuestra última conversación, aprenderemos a usar una nueva expresión española, Ir viento en popa. La usaremos para hablar de Amancio Ortega, el propietario de Inditex, la conocida empresa española textil que posee marcas como Zara o Massimo Dutti. Desde 2026, este empresario español se ha convertido en el magnate inmobiliario más grande del mundo. Su empresa inmobiliaria tiene edificios por un valor de 25.000 millones de euros.

On this episode of Stitch Please, Lisa tackles the sewing struggle nobody talks about enough: being stuck in the “intermediate” stage. You're past beginner mistakes, but not quite sewing couture gowns in your sleep either.From confusing pattern labels to Reddit fueled sewing anxiety, Lisa breaks down why intermediate is less of a skill level and more of a messy, creative in between space. The takeaway? Keep practicing, trust your progress, and maybe… read the pattern instructions before complaining.=====Hosted By: Dr. Lisa WoolforkSenior Producer: Krystal HillProducer: Mike Bryant===============Dr. Lisa Woolfork is an associate professor of English specializing in African American literature and culture.

Six years ago, Katya Zamarin's mother was murdered by a stranger who also maimed her Aunt Julia. More recently, her father died of a heart attack. He visits Katya in a dream, and she believes he wants her to head to Paris for a conference organized by his environmentalist hero. Katya's youngest sister, Arielle, a recovering addict and aspiring actress, tags along. And Aunt Julia, once an infamous soap opera star, flies to Paris when Arielle suffers an unexplained sleeping sickness. Everyone is grappling with survival, grief, and worry about the climate in these two entwined novellas about sisters, family, identity, and finding one's purpose. Listen to this interview about Marriage to the Sea: Linked Novellas (Four Way Books, 2026) Sarah Stone was born in San Francisco; her father was a professor of psychology and an environmental activist and her mother a collagist, assemblagist, and ceramic sculptor.

Notre premier sujet d'aujourd'hui portera sur le sommet de l'Union européenne en Arménie. Cet évènement marque un tournant diplomatique majeur pour l'Arménie, qui se rapproche ainsi de l'UE et s'éloigne de la Russie. Nous poursuivrons notre tour d'horizon de l'actualité en commentant l'annonce faite la semaine dernière par les États-Unis : ils vont retirer 5 000 soldats d'Allemagne. Inutile de préciser que cela a ébranlé les alliés de l'OTAN. Cette décision a été prise sans consultation des partenaires européens ni des hauts responsables de l'OTAN. Est-elle liée aux tensions entre Trump et le chancelier Merz au sujet de la guerre américaine en Iran ? Notre section scientifique sera consacrée à un rapport signalant que le harcèlement en ligne amplifié par l'intelligence artificielle pousse les femmes à se retirer de la vie publique. Et nous conclurons la première partie de l'émission d'aujourd'hui par une conversation sur la nouvelle statue de Banksy qui est apparue mercredi dernier dans le centre de Londres. Elle délivre un message puissant sur le nationalisme aveugle.   Le reste de l'émission d'aujourd'hui sera consacré à la langue et à la culture françaises. Notre point de grammaire de la semaine sera : The Conjunctive Phrases: à ce que, à condition que, afin que, ainsi que, and alors que. Nous parlerons des résultats d'une enquête qui révèle les campagnes et films publicitaires qui ont le plus marqué les Français en 2025. Nous terminerons par l'expression de la semaine, Avoir/prendre de la bouteille. Nous discuterons du prochain Tour de France, qui partira début juillet de Barcelone, alors qu'un tout jeune prodige de 19 ans vient d'annoncer sa participation. - L'Arménie se détourne de la Russie pour se rapprocher de l'Europe en accueillant un sommet de l'UE - La fracture entre les États‑Unis et l'Europe va bien au‑delà du retrait symbolique des troupes décidé par Trump - Un rapport de l'ONU révèle que plus de 40 % des femmes s'autocensurent en ligne en raison des violences numériques - La nouvelle statue de Banksy délivre un message fort contre le nationalisme aveugle - Quelles publicités ont marqué les esprits en France en 2025 ? - Le jeune prodige Paul Seixas va participer au prochain Tour de France

Episode OverviewThe Articulate Fly's Pennsylvania Smallmouth Report returns with Captain Brian Shumaker of Susquehanna River Guides, delivering a timely mid-spring conditions update for the Susquehanna River system in Central Pennsylvania. This episode cuts straight to the practical challenge facing every Mid-Atlantic smallmouth angler right now: how to fish effectively when an extreme pattern of temperature swings — 80°F one day, back to the 50s by mid-week — is compressing and disrupting the spawn, locking fish down unpredictably, and keeping the frog bite from ever materializing. Brian, a veteran guide with over three decades on the Susquehanna, breaks down how he approaches these volatile conditions with clients, from the diagnostic logic of starting with yesterday's best fly and quickly reading fish mood, to the deeper strategic pivot of going subsurface on intermediate lines when topwater won't produce. He also touches on where the spawn currently stands — with the first wave already pushing some fish into early post-spawn funk — and what anglers can expect as conditions hopefully stabilize heading toward summer. For anyone planning time on Pennsylvania smallmouth water this spring, Brian's approach to grinding through difficult conditions with a rotating bench of swim flies and crayfish patterns offers both tactical and mental frameworks worth internalizing.Key TakeawaysHow to use yesterday's producing fly as a quick diagnostic starting point and pivot efficiently to Plan B when conditions have shifted overnight.Why slowing retrieve speed and fishing deeper are the first two adjustments to make when dropping temperatures cause smallmouth to lock jaw.How intermediate sink lines provide a versatile middle ground that keeps flies in the strike zone when topwater conditions are marginal.When to rotate through a broad multi-pattern bench — swim flies, Half-and-Halfs, Clousers and crayfish patterns — rather than forcing a single presentation in unpredictable spring conditions.Why crayfish patterns like the Clawdad are producing when stomach content checks confirm fish are actively keying on crayfish as a primary food source.How the unusual spring temperature volatility in Central PA is producing an early post-spawn funk in first-wave fish while later-wave spawners are still active, creating a mixed-mood fishery that demands adaptable tactics.Techniques & Gear CoveredBrian's current approach centers on intermediate sink lines as the primary tool for getting flies into the strike zone. From there, he runs a rotating bench of approximately a dozen patterns, starting with Clousers, swim flies and Half-and-Halfs and moving through the progression until something sticks — a systematic elimination approach that reflects hard-earned guiding experience in variable conditions. When temperatures drop and fish go passive, he leads with slower presentations before working up to more active retrieves. Crayfish imitations have been particularly productive, with Brian noting that fish are showing crayfish in their gullets on inspection — a data point that drives fly selection rather than guesswork. He specifically mentions patterns in the Clawdad-style that can be fished up off the bottom and animated to mimic a fleeing crayfish. Topwater setups remain rigged as a secondary option for afternoon sessions, with Brian noting that conditions like a sulphur hatch could still prompt fish to look up even in an otherwise subsurface day.Locations & SpeciesThe episode focuses on the Susquehanna River system in Central Pennsylvania, the fishery Brian has guided exclusively since founding Susquehanna River Guides in 1993. The Susquehanna is a fertile limestone river renowned for one of the strongest wild smallmouth bass fisheries in the eastern United States, characterized by rock ledges, wide shallow riffles and abundant crayfish and aquatic insect life. Target species is exclusively smallmouth bass throughout this report. The episode is recorded during the mid-spring spawn window, with Brian projecting that spawning activity on his water will wrap up around the third week of May and that some first-wave fish are already showing early post-spawn behavioral funk — while later-wave fish are still active and available. The unusual temperature volatility this spring is affecting fish behavior across the entire east coast smallmouth fishery, not just the Susquehanna, making Brian's adaptable mid-spring approach broadly applicable.FAQ / Key Questions AnsweredHow do you adapt your fly fishing approach when spring temperatures swing wildly day to day?Brian starts each session by testing what produced the day before — that gives a quick read on whether conditions have shifted. If that approach fails early, he moves to Plan B: slowing retrieve speed, going deeper and working through a systematic rotation of patterns until he finds something that matches the fish's current mood. The key is staying flexible rather than committing to a single technique.What fly line setups are most effective for Pennsylvania smallmouth in cold or variable spring conditions?Intermediate sink lines are Brian's primary tool right now, allowing him to keep flies subsurface without anchoring them to the bottom. Topwater rigs stay on deck for afternoon sessions as a speculative option, particularly when hatches are occurring. In colder conditions, he prioritizes slower patterns and quieter presentations before working up to more active swim fly retrieves.Why are crayfish fly patterns so effective for spring smallmouth bass fishing?Stomach content checks on the Susquehanna are showing fish actively feeding on crayfish, making imitative patterns a data-driven choice rather than a hunch. Patterns that can be fished up off the bottom and animated to simulate a fleeing crayfish — rather than dragged along bottom and snagged — are producing best because they remain accessible to fish holding at a range of depths.When does the smallmouth spawn typically wrap up on the Susquehanna River in Central PA?Under normal conditions, Brian expects spawning to be largely complete by the third week of May on his water. This spring's extreme temperature swings compressed the front end of the spawn but have also extended and complicated the overall picture, with first-wave fish already showing post-spawn behavior while later fish are still in the spawn cycle — creating a mixed-mood fishery that is more difficult to read than a typical spring.What should anglers expect after the spawn in terms of fish behavior and fishing quality?The post-spawn funk is real — fish that have completed spawning become temporarily lethargic and difficult to catch. Brian describes a brief early version of this pattern already affecting first-wave fish on his water. The good news is that once temperatures stabilize, fish typically come around quickly and the summer bite — including the anticipated frog bite and topwater action — can be excellent on the Susquehanna.Related ContentS8, Ep 27: The Pre-Spawn Puzzle: Captain Brian Shumaker's Tips for Pennsylvania SmallmouthS8, Ep 23: Low Water Chronicles: Matt Reilly on Pre-Spawn Smallmouth Strategies and Seasonal ShiftsS6, Ep 41: Smallmouth Secrets and Streamer Savvy with Brendan RuchS1, Ep 97: All Things Smallmouth with Mike SchultzConnect with Our GuestFollow Brian on Facebook and Instagram.Follow the ShowFollow The Articulate Fly on Facebook, Instagram, Threads and YouTube.Follow our Substack newsletter for episode updates, tips and resources.Support the ShowShop through our Amazon link to support the podcast.Join our Patreon community to support the show.If...

Comenzaremos la primera parte del programa hablando de las amenazas de Trump a Cuba tras endurecer las sanciones; y de una ley brasileña que reduce la sentencia de Jair Bolsonaro y los demás implicados en el intento de golpe de Estado del 2023.
