This show has been flagged as Clean by the host. -------------------- 01 Introduction This is the second episode in an 8 part series. 02 In the previous episode we discussed the predecessors of PLCs, in particular relay logic. In this episode we will discuss how relay logic came to be expressed in software rather than in actual hardware components. 03 The topics to be covered include * Early computers in industry. * The first PLC. * PC versus PLC - what's in a name. * Who the major brands are. * What does a PLC actually look like. * Machine architecture. * PLC programs. * The scan. * PLC programming languages. * Relative popularity of PLC programming languages versus more conventional computer programming languages. -------------------- 04 Early Computers in Industry Computers came to be used in industry fairly early on. Minicomputers were used in some large industries to control things like electric power plants. For example, the DEC PDP8 was used to control the refuelling machines in CANDU nuclear power plants. These would load and unload fuel from the reactor, which happens continually on a daily basis while the reactor is running. 05 The first microprocessor based computer sold on the commercial market was the MICRAL from France, based on the Intel 8008. It was sold as a cost effective replacement for minicomputers used in industry. It preceded what are generally considered to be the first Personal Computers. So you can see that industry were not reluctant to adopt new technology. 06 However, mini computers were large complex systems that did not fit well into a factory floor. They had particular niches in very large complex integrated systems, but were not suited to controlling many individual machines in a factory that produced things like automobiles or appliances. 07 What was needed was something that would fit into a standard electrical enclosure, withstand the temperatures found in a factory, could stand up to vibration and noise, was tolerant of voltage fluctuations, interfaced directly to sensors and actuators, and could be readily programmed by engineers, technicians, and tradesmen who were familiar with the processes to be controlled, but had little or no experience with computers. 08 This required a complete integrated package covering hardware, software, and product distribution through industrial supply retailers. Something that could meet these criteria is what was needed to become the PLC. -------------------- 09 History Many histories point to a US developer that became Modicon. However, their first hardware was more a proof of concept than a viable commercial product. In fact multiple companies in the US, Europe, and Japan were working on the problem and released comparable products all at around the same time in the early 1970s. 10 The idea preceded the implementation by a number of years. For example, General Motors had asked industrial control equipment suppliers in the mid 1960s for some sort of programmable control device to replace relay logic. This showed potential suppliers that there was a market for this sort of thing, and gave them a clearer idea of what customers were looking for. 11 What made this possible was the development of the first 8 bit microprocessor in that time period, combined with readily available bit slice processors from the minicomputer industry and other components. 12 People knew what to do, the problem was waiting for the development of suitable component hardware. Minicomputers were already being used in industry, but were normally located in control rooms. PLCs were an effort to take that technology out of control rooms and put it on the shop floor. 13 PC Versus PLC - What's in a Name In the early days, these systems were known as either PLC, which means "Programmable Logic Controller", or PC, which means "Programmable Controller". Different vendors favoured different terminology, but both were common. I have a book which was at one time one of the standard reference handbooks for this industry which was published in 1989, and refers to them as Programmable Controllers, or PCs. 14 The term PC was also used to mean "Personal Computer", but that wasn't really a problem in the early days. However, a certain large company decided to call their entry into the personal computer market the "IBM PC", and suddenly "PC" became a generic term for desktop computers. 15 After a long struggle to keep referring to their products as "PCs", even the biggest vendors caved in and gave up the fight and switched to using the "PLC" term. I will therefore use the term "PLC" in this podcast series even when talking about products which were originally called "PCs" at the time they were introduced. 16 Who the Major Brands Are The companies that came to dominate the industry fairly early on were generally companies that already made industrial electrical hardware. These were Siemens Allen Bradley, later known as Rockwell Schneider Mitsubishi Omron 17 These are still the dominant companies in the business, although there are many small brands, particularly at the cheaper end of the market. All of them were suppliers of a wide range of industrial control hardware, such that you could build all or nearly all of the parts of your control system using only their products. 18 Each of these sells an integrated hardware and software package, including development software, that is completely proprietary. If you thought that the mainframe business had a lot of vendor lock-in, you haven't seen the industrial market. -------------------- 19 What Does One of These Things Actually Look Like? At this point you are probably still very confused as to what a PLC actually is. I will attempt to describe one in basic terms by giving an example of one. The smallest and simplest ones are what are termed "shoebox" PLCs. These are basically a rectangular box with a plastic case. 20 Here are the dimensions for a typical low end model, a Mitsubishi FX3U-32M. According to specs in the manual, it is 150mm wide, 90mm high, and 86mm deep. 21 It can be mounted to the panel in an electrical enclosure by snapping it onto what is termed a DIN rail. DIN rails are standard mounting systems which use a strip of metal which is U shaped with a lip at the top of each end of the U. You screw the DIN rail to the electrical panel in the enclosure, and most industrial components such as PLCs, terminal blocks, circuit breakers, and all sorts of other things will simply snap onto it and be ready to wire together. 22 Along the top and bottom of the PLC are terminals to which you can attach wires from the things you want to sense or control in the rest of the machine, such as push buttons, pilot lights, proximity sensors, and valves. 23 Inputs are along the top, and outputs are along the bottom. The FX3U-32M has 16 inputs and 16 outputs. These I/O can be 24 volts DC, or 100 to 120 volts AC, depending on the model. Alternatively it may have small relays for outputs. While AC I/O once predominated, 24VDC became the standard in most industries several decades ago as it interfaced with electronic devices more readily and also allowed for cheaper and more compact wiring. 24 More inputs and outputs can be added by connecting additional I/O modules to the main PLC next to it on the same DIN rail, up to a total of 256 I/O The connection is typically via short ribbon cables which plug into the adjacent module. These I/O modules look like the main PLC, but just add I/O. 25 Inside the PLC are a CPU, memory, and firmware. This model has 64K "steps" of memory, which can be thought of as how many instructions you can have. The program runs in RAM, but you can add a small flash memory device to save the program to. There is a run/stop switch that allows you to start or stop the user program. There is a port that you can use to connect the PLC to a laptop computer with a cable so you can download your program to it. 26 The biggest part of the market for PLCs is for these "shoebox" style. However, there are bigger ones as well which have more I/O, more memory, faster CPUs, etc. These are meant for tasks such as coordinating large assembly lines and things like that. These are what are termed rack systems, where the rack is an empty box which is open at the front and has a backplane bus running along the back. You plug the main CPU into the bus, normally in the leftmost position, and then plug I/O modules into the rack. The I/O modules are tall, thin, fully enclosed boxes with the I/O terminals along the front. 27 You should have a rough idea of their appearance at this stage, so I'll leave the physical description aside for now and go on to the concepts behind how they actually work and what makes them different from something like say a Raspberry Pi. -------------------- 28 Machine Architecture It is not really the hardware which defines the PLC. Rather, it is the software system architecture. Every PLC that I am aware of has a common set of features. 29 Data Table A data table is simply a block of memory which may or may not be subdivided into different parts. All logic, and all, or nearly all, I/O works by writing to and reading from addresses in the data table. 30 I/O Every input and output point maps to a fixed memory address in the PLC. To read the state of an input, you read its memory address. To change the state of an output, you write to its memory address. 31 These digital I/O appear as single bit boolean values. The PLC programming language has instructions which allow single bits to be read or written to directly without have to mask off other bits as you would have to do if you were using a conventional programming language. I have so far only mentioned digital I/O, which are single bit on/off values. 32 Other types of I/O Many PLCs also have other types of I/O such as Analogue I/O, which represent variable voltages rather than just on/off values. For example you may wish to read a temperature from a thermocouple where the voltage level varies with the temperature. Often these are mapped into the data table as byte or word values. 33 Internal Bit or Boolean Memory There will be a range of single bit or boolean memory which is used for internal logic state. Your program may need to come up with a series of intermediate logical values, and you store them in these internal bits or flags. 34 Timers and Counters Control of machinery often involves timing and counting. Timer and counters are mapped into the data table. Timer and counter presets and values can be read as words, and there will be bit addresses which indicate the status of the timer or counter, such as whether it has reached its preset and is "done". 35 Integer and Floating Point Values There will be word addresses where integer and floating point words can be stored. If you need to do some mathematical calculations and store the results, you would save them in an integer or floating point word. 36 Typed Memory Unlike when programming something like a PC where you simply have a range of undifferentiated bytes and it is up to your software to impose meaning on it, PLC data table memory has defined types and meanings and the system firmware enforces the correct memory access methods. 37 Size of Data Table Data tables vary greatly in size. A bigger data table allows for bigger and more complex program. Generally, new PLCs will have bigger data tables than older ones, and more expensive PLCs will have bigger data tables than cheaper ones of the same generation. 38 Example Having picked a current PLC as an example for physical dimensions, I will pick an old and obsolete one for an example of a data table. The Siemens S5-100 series was a small PLC that came in several sizes. The basic S5-100 had the following data table size. 39 Digital I/O had a maximum of 128 inputs and outputs taken together. Analogue inputs and outputs had a maximum of 8 taken together. Flag, or bit, memory was 1024 Timers - 16 Counters - 16 40 The S5-103 offered more of everything in the same basic package, but of course at a higher cost. Digital I/O had a maximum of 256 inputs and outputs taken together. Analogue inputs and outputs had a maximum of 32 taken together. Flag, or bit, memory was 2048 Timers - 128 Counters - 128 -------------------- 41 The PLC Program A PLC will come with what amounts to an operating system and virtual machine built into it. You as the programmer use the vendor's proprietary development software, what is generally called the "PLC programming software" to write an application for it. 42 You then connect your PC to the PLC using a cable of some sort, and download your program into it. The program gets stored in the PLC's RAM. There may be flash memory which serves to back up the RAM when the power is off so you don't lose the program. Before flash was available, a battery was typically required to hold the static RAM memory. 43 There is just one program in the PLC. There is no file system, just the program memory and the data table. When the PLC starts up, it runs the program that you wrote. It continues running the program until you turn off the power or you set the run/stop switch to the stop position. 44 I will come back to programming later, but we needed to cover these basic points before I could describe some further concepts we need to cover. -------------------- 45 The Scan A key thing to understand about PLCs is the "scan" concept. This works as follows. There is a repeated cycle called the scan. 46 First, the PLC reads all the physical inputs and updates the corresponding input addresses in the data table. Next it runs the user program once. Finally it reads the output addresses in the data table and writes them to the corresponding physical outputs. Then it repeats the scan from step 1. 47 A scan can take anywhere from a few milliseconds to hundreds of milliseconds, depending on the model of PLC. Older PLCs and cheaper PLCs tended to be slower. However, as integrated circuit technology advanced, programs got faster. 48 The PLC has a watchdog timer. This is a timer which runs in the background and resets at the start of a scan. 49 If a scan takes too long, the watchdog will trip and stop the program and set the outputs to some defined state, either turning them all off or holding them at the last value. This is known as "faulting" the processor. 50 A watchdog fault may be caused by a program that is too long, or uses a lot of very slow instructions, or in some cases it may be due to a bug in your program. However, this last cause is not as common or as easy to cause as you may think when it comes to faults. -------------------- 51 PLC Programming Languages The key to all of this is the unique way in which the programming languages used in PLCs work. I will first briefly describe the two main programming languages and then explain how they work in a PLC as part of a complete system. 52 Ladder Logic There are several programming languages, but the main one is called ladder logic. If you listened to the previous episode, the word "ladder" will ring a bell. When machines were controlled by electromechanical relays, the electrical drawings which specified and documented the types of relays and the connections between them were called "ladder diagrams". 53 PLCs simply take these ladder diagrams and reproduce them on your computer screen in the programming software using the same standard schematic symbols. 54 You do not need to draw the symbols like it was CAD. Instead you simply use your keyboard or mouse to say that you want this symbol to be entered in the current cursor location or you want this wire to be connected from here to there. When your rung is complete the software will check at some point if it is syntactically correct. You then go on to entering the next rungs one after another until you have your complete program. 55 Instruction List An alternative representation is something called "instruction list", although various vendors may use other terms. This is a text representation that looks like a sort of assembly language. However, it's actually really ladder, just shown in a different way as text and some types of programming software will allow you to toggle between ladder and instruction list mode, translating between them automatically. 56 This should give you a clue as to how a PLC can execute a schematic diagram. Behind the scenes the programming software will translate the diagram into instruction list, and then the PLC will either execute those instructions in an interpreter, or compile them to machine code and execute those. 57 Other Programming Languages There are other programming languages, but they are rarely seen. I won't go into detail in terms of describing them, just briefly mention them. 58 One is called Sequential Function Chart. This is a type of flow chart which is designed to show complex sequences, including ones with alternate or parallel paths. The original name for this is Grafcet, spelled G R A F C E T. This stands for "Graphe Fonctionnel de Commande Étape Transition". As well as being a programming language, it is also a very good design and analysis tool even if the PLC being used doesn't support it. 59 Another is Function Block Diagram. This is another graphical language which resembles flow diagrams used in process industries. This is supposedly used mainly in industries such as chemical manufacturing. However it appears to be very niche and most people who use PLCs will never have seen it, and many will not have even heard of it. 60 Yet another language is Structured Text. This is very obviously derived from Modula-2 and strongly resembles it. If you are not familiar with Modula-2, it was created by Nikolas Wirth and intended as the successor to Pascal, which it was derived from. Structured Text seems to be much loved by a small number of academics, but seems to have little actual use in the field. You lose pretty much all of the monitoring and debugging facilities built into a PLC if you use it, so it's kind of pointless except perhaps for a few niche applications. There are a few other languages as well, mainly proprietary ones, often using flow charts or the like. 61 PLC Languages are Non-Blocking The important thing about a PLC program is that it executes from top to bottom, left to right, without stopping or blocking. There is no waiting on input or output or for a system call to return. Each rung immediately yields a result which is written to a memory address or which enables a timer or counter. Every rung is executed every scan. 62 You can reproduce this in a traditional computer programming language. In ladder logic it is inherent to the syntax and it is either very difficult or impossible to do it any other way. I'll give an example in Python of what I mean. 63 a = (b or c) and not d 64 If b or c are true and d is false, then a is set to true. If b and c are false or d is true, then a is false. 65 Now imagine that we are not executing this statement once, but rather are executing it repeatedly. This statement will never block execution. It will always immediately yield a result. Now let's modify that a bit. 66 a = (b or a) and not d 67 Note that we have replaced c with a. Now the value of a depends the previous value of a as well as b and d. However, once a becomes true, the value of b no longer matters because b is in an or condition with a. Now if we execute it over and over again, only d becoming true will make a go false. 68 This is a standard push button circuit, also known as a "seal in circuit", because it "seals" around the start condition. 69 b is the start push button with a normally open contact. d is the stop push button with a normally closed contact. a is a relay with one of its contacts being used to hold it on. 70 If you wired this up with actual push buttons and relays or if you programmed it into a PLC with ladder logic it would work the same way. A PLC program will consists of rung after rung of logic like this and executes it repeatedly scan after scan, only pausing to update its I/O. 71 Async Programming Some of you may be thinking that this cyclical scan sounds like the async programming that is all the rage with web server applications these days. Essentially it is exactly the same principle. 72 With async programming, your program must never use blocking instructions and execution proceeds on a repeated cycle. PLCs solve this by not having any instructions which block, and many PLCs do not allow backwards jumps. Tradesmen in coveralls in factories were doing async programming decades before the cool kids heard about it. 73 Most PLC Programming Languages are Visual or Graphical Languages If ladder, Sequential Function Chart, or Grafcet and Function Block Diagram sound like visual programming languages, they are. In fact ladder is probably one of the earliest visual languages in commercial use. Wikipedia defines a visual programming language as: 74 In computing, a visual programming language (visual programming system, VPL, or, VPS), also known as diagrammatic programming, graphical programming or block coding, is a programming language that lets users create programs by manipulating program elements graphically rather than by specifying them textually. A VPL allows programming with visual expressions, spatial arrangements of text and graphic symbols, used either as elements of syntax or secondary notation. For example, many VPLs are based on the idea of "boxes and arrows", where boxes or other screen objects are treated as entities, connected by arrows, lines or arcs which represent relations. VPLs are generally the basis of low-code development platforms. Scratch is an example of a VPL 75 End of quote. As you can see, what is cool today was on the factory floor more than 40 years ago. -------------------- 76 Popularity of PLC Programming Languages PLCs are about as proprietary as you can get. Pretty much every vendor has his own proprietary take on each language. How you can program any particular PLC is determined by that vendor's programming software. If the vendor doesn't support it, you can't use it. An individual vendor may even have multiple incompatible product lines which have to be programmed in different ways with different software, although that is not as common these days as it once was. 77 Nearly all PLCs support programming in Ladder. Some support programming in instruction list as well as ladder. Anything else is much less common. 78 Ladder logic happens to be on the Tiobe Index by the way. For those who have not heard of it, the Tiobe Index, that is T I O B E, is a web site that lists the popularity of numerous programming languages based on various criteria. 79 Number one on their list happens to be Python, currently at 19.98%. Number two is C, at 11.55%. 80 At the time of writing this script, Ladder Logic was at number 46 with a 0.28% rating, which put it just below Erlang and just above Haskell. I'm not sure whether that means that Ladder Logic is not as obscure as you thought it was, or whether it means that Erlang and Haskell are in fact more obscure than you thought they were. -------------------- 81 Episode Summary In this episode we covered we covered The early history of computers in industrial control The early history of PLCs, including how they got their name Who the major brands are What they look like physically 82 A basic description of the abstract machine architecture A very brief look at what a PLC program is like The scan concept The main PLC programming languages The minor PLC programming languages The relative popularity of each of the programming languages 83 In the next episode we will take a look at one of the early PLCs from the era when they began seeing widespread use. This PLC was hugely successful and was for many companies the first PLC they used. This is the Allen Bradley PLC2. 84 This has been the second episode in an 8 part series. -------------------- Provide feedback on this episode.

Oil and gas automation runs on royalty accounting as much as process control. Dustin Symes explains how that shapes every SCADA decision JPI Solutions makes.Canadian oil and gas is structured differently than most assume. In the US mineral rights usually sit with individuals, so custody transfer draws a hard line between upstream and midstream. In Canada the provinces hold most rights, so a producer can gather 100 wells into one plant and sell to a pipeline company there. That lands on the automation: much of the SCADA data collection exists to answer who is paying whom and how much royalty is owed. Once a well is drilled, automation might find 5 to 10 percent off nameplate, so the work protects a long production tail rather than chasing throughput.Mining behaves nothing like it. Thinner margins, $100 million capital projects, an hour long elevator ride down, underground space running 20 miles across. Those are small cities: control systems cover substations, air monitoring and lighting as well as conveyors and pumps. Mining clients want programmers on site rather than remote, and they buy for continuity: a major vendor PLC paired with their DCS, meant to last 20 years. Horizontal drilling has rescaled oil and gas, from one well and a dozen sensors to a 32 well pad carrying 300 IO, pushing designs toward redundant PLCs and ring networks. The genuinely new technology lands on the data layer, where MQTT and report by exception are displacing polled Modbus.Dustin set two gates before his first hire: enough cash banked to make that person whole for a month or two, and enough overload to have work worth delegating. He hired out of the instrumentation program at SAIT rather than a 15 year instrument mechanic. When he weighed taking on partners, dozens of people advised against it. He brought in Dan and Brent Lawther anyway in 2018, went from five people that spring to ten by the fall, and says JPI would not exist without them.His hardest won lesson is unglamorous. Communication is the only consistent complaint he has ever had from a customer. Nobody complains about the code. They complain that nobody told them it was finished. On AI, JPI is decompiling Rockwell files into shutdown keys and landing 85 to 90 percent of the way there on a good prompt, and running log analysis across FactoryTalk directory, HMI and historian logs to find real root causes. He expects PLC code to become text so it can be version controlled like software, and customers to treat that as baseline within five years.About Dustin SymesDustin Symes is Chief Technology Officer at JPI Solutions, a Calgary based systems integrator serving oil and gas and mining clients across North America from four offices in Alberta, BC and Saskatchewan. A Red Seal journeyman electrician who moved into automation, he founded JPI in 2017.

Vivek Yadav, an engineering manager at the payment company Stripe, speaks with host Adi Narayan about building regression testing for microservices. Drawing on his work estimating network costs for card payments, Vivek explains why unit and integration tests fall short when a single transaction's cost can depend on 100+ parameters across card networks, countries, and merchant types. He describes Stripe's approach: structuring services so that core logic is stateless and separated from I/O, then wrapping that logic in an Apache Spark job that replays historical transactions from cold storage to compare old versus new outputs at a granular, per-transaction level. This allows Stripe to validate major migrations with far more confidence and speed than a traditional shadow-rollout, and it now doubles as a tool for assessing network rule changes, debugging incidents, and even showing customers how a pricing change will affect their costs. The episode closes by noting the same pattern applies wherever AI-driven code changes need fast, reliable evals.

From the archives: Midland frontman Mark Wystrach joins Andy Frasco's World Saving Podcast for a wide-ranging conversation about the reality behind life in a successful band. This episode is brought to you by JamCut.IO (https://jamcut.io/). If you're a musician and you're tired of making clips all the time, check these guys out! Mark talks about Midland nearly falling apart during its early years, the fights and conflict that came with three strong personalities trying to build a career together, and why the music ultimately kept them together. He also gets into the brutal touring schedule, balancing life on the road with being a husband and father, and why the fantasy of the "rock star lifestyle" is a lot different from actually living it. The conversation gets even deeper as Mark opens up about his history with drugs and alcohol, growing up around addiction, and the lessons he took from seeing the darker side of it firsthand. He also shares two terrifying stories that changed the way he looks at life: being stranded in extreme desert heat after blowing a tire on his Harley, and suffering a massive heart-related medical emergency in his early 20s that left his heart functioning at roughly 25% for a period of time. Those experiences helped push him toward pursuing music and living life on his own terms.

Ti hanno detto che puoi costruire un business in tre o sei mesi, e ci hai creduto perché chi te lo diceva aveva i numeri per dimostrarlo. Io ho impiegato due anni, senza sistemi né struttura, prima che il mio cominciasse a muoversi. Oggi parliamo di quanto tempo ci vuole davvero per costruire un'attività solida, delle fasi che attraversa ogni percorso imprenditoriale, e di come proteggere le tue energie lungo la strada. Se temi di aver sbagliato perché i risultati tardano, qui trovi la prova che stai solo costruendo le fondamenta.

Di' la verità: quante volte al giorno dici "anche io"? "Mi piace il caffè." → anche io. "Vado in vacanza ad agosto." → anche io. "Adoro guardare i film la sera." → anche io. Sembra che "anche io" sia la risposta a tutto! Ma c'è un piccolo problema: se rispondi sempre e solo "anche io", il tuo italiano suona un po' piatto e ripetitivo. E in italiano, per dire che sei d'accordo, abbiamo molte più frecce al nostro arco! Smettila di Dire Sempre "Anche Io" In questa guida imparerai a sostituire il solito "anche io" con espressioni più naturali, più varie e più adatte al contesto — proprio come farebbe un madrelingua italiano. Vedremo come esprimere accordo in modo neutro, con entusiasmo, mostrare empatia e perfino essere d'accordo in una mail formale. Per ampliare ulteriormente il tuo vocabolario, puoi consultare la guida sulle espressioni per esprimere accordo e disaccordo in italiano. E ti svelo anche un piccolo trucco per non sbagliare mai più con le frasi negative! Parte 1 — Per Esprimere Accordo in Modo Neutro Quando sei semplicemente d'accordo con qualcuno, senza particolare enfasi, invece del solito "anche io" puoi usare queste quattro alternative quotidiane. 1. Idem Parola che viene dal latino e significa "la stessa cosa". È comodissima, brevissima e va bene quasi sempre nel parlato di tutti i giorni. "Sabato vado in palestra." — "Idem! Ci vediamo lì?" "Adoro il caffè la mattina." — "Idem, non riesco a svegliarmi senza." 2. Pure Io / Anch'io "Pure" è un sinonimo di "anche", molto colloquiale. E attenzione a una piccola trappola: questa risposta vale per le frasi positive. Dopo una frase negativa non si dice "anch'io", ma neanch'io (o nemmeno io). Per approfondire questo argomento, puoi consultare la guida sulla doppia negazione in italiano. "Sto morendo di fame." — "Pure io, mangerei un panino enorme!" "Vado al mare ad agosto." — "Anch'io! Magari ci incontriamo." "Non mangio la carne." — "Neanch'io!" 3. Come Te La usi quando vuoi sottolineare che ti trovi proprio nella stessa identica situazione dell'altra persona. "Studio l'italiano da due anni." — "Come te! Ho cominciato nel 2024 anch'io." "Lavoro da casa il venerdì." — "Come te, è il mio giorno preferito." 4. Lo Stesso / Anche per Me lo Stesso Comodissima quando si parla di scelte concrete, per esempio quando ordini al bar o al ristorante e vuoi la stessa cosa di chi è con te. "Io prendo un cappuccino." — "Per me lo stesso, grazie." "Io ordino la margherita." — "Anche per me lo stesso, ma con doppia mozzarella!" Parte 2 — Per Esprimere Accordo con Entusiasmo Quando non sei solo d'accordo, ma sei completamente d'accordo, magari con un po' di passione, queste sono le espressioni perfette. Per arricchire ulteriormente il tuo italiano, puoi consultare la guida sulle espressioni per esprimere entusiasmo in italiano. 5. Esatto! / Esattamente! Per confermare con decisione che qualcuno ha colto perfettamente nel segno. È come dire "hai centrato il punto!". "Quindi dobbiamo partire prima per evitare il traffico?" — "Esatto! È proprio quello che pensavo." "La riunione è spostata a venerdì, giusto?" — "Esattamente, hai capito bene." 6. Verissimo! / Proprio Così! Per dire che quanto detto è vero al cento per cento e rispecchia esattamente il tuo pensiero. "Il lunedì è la giornata più dura della settimana." — "Verissimo!" "Viaggiare insegna più di tanti libri." — "Proprio così, sono d'accordo." 7. Non Potrei Essere Più d'Accordo! Un po' più intensa: fa capire che il tuo accordo è totale, al massimo grado possibile. Notare l'uso del condizionale presente ("potrei"), che dà alla frase un tono più sofisticato ed elegante. "I libri sono quasi sempre meglio dei film." — "Non potrei essere più d'accordo!" "Bisognerebbe dormire di più e lavorare di meno." — "Non potrei essere più d'accordo!" 8. Sottoscrivo! Letteralmente significa "firmo sotto", come quando firmi un documento in fondo alla pagina. È un modo molto espressivo, e anche un po' scherzoso, per dire "sono così d'accordo che ci metto la firma!". "Le vacanze finiscono sempre troppo presto." — "Sottoscrivo!" "Il gelato si può mangiare in ogni stagione." — "Sottoscrivo in pieno!" Parte 3 — Per Empatizzare con Chi Ti Parla A volte l'altra persona non esprime un gusto, ma si sta sfogando: ti racconta qualcosa di faticoso. Qui "anche io" suona freddo. Meglio mostrare empatia con queste quattro espressioni. 9. Ti Capisco / Ti Capisco Benissimo Comunica direttamente che comprendi come si sente l'altra persona. "Ho mille scadenze questa settimana, sono distrutto." — "Ti capisco benissimo!" "Da quando lavoro di notte non dormo più bene." — "Ti capisco, dev'essere durissima." Attenzione al Falso Amico con l'Inglese Piccolo trucco: non tradurre l'inglese "I hear you" con "ti sento", perché in italiano "ti sento" significa sentire fisicamente la voce! Per esprimere comprensione emotiva, devi usare il verbo capire, non sentire. 10. So Cosa Intendi / So Cosa Vuoi Dire La usi per dire che afferri perfettamente il senso e la sensazione di ciò che ti viene raccontato. "Quando piove non ho voglia di fare niente." — "So cosa intendi, succede anche a me." "A volte studiare da soli è demotivante." — "So cosa vuoi dire, capita a tutti." 11. Ci Sono Passato Anch'io / Ci Sono Passata Anch'io Molto calorosa: la usi per dire che hai vissuto la stessa esperienza in prima persona, quindi capisci davvero. Ricordati che il participio passato ("passato/passata") concorda con il genere di chi parla. "Cambiare città è più difficile del previsto." — "Ci sono passato anch'io, ti capisco." "Il primo mese in un Paese nuovo è dura." — "Ci sono passata anch'io, poi migliora, fidati!" 12. Capisco Perfettamente Una variante un pizzico più marcata, che sottolinea una comprensione piena e totale. "Sono nervoso per l'esame di domani." — "Capisco perfettamente, è normale sentirsi così." "Stasera non me la sento di uscire." — "Capisco perfettamente, riposati pure." Parte 4 — Per Condividere Opinioni e nei Contesti Formali Quando condividi un'opinione, oppure quando scrivi una mail di lavoro e "anche io" suona troppo casuale, queste espressioni eleganti sono la scelta giusta. Per approfondire la differenza tra registri, puoi consultare la guida sull'italiano formale e informale. 13. La Penso Allo Stesso Modo / Sono Della Stessa Idea Per dichiarare apertamente di avere la stessa opinione. Perfette nelle conversazioni un po' più articolate, in cui ci si confronta. "Secondo me questo film è sopravvalutato." — "La penso allo stesso modo, non mi ha convinto." "Credo che si lavori meglio la mattina presto." — "Sono della stessa idea." 14. Condivido / Sono Dello Stesso Avviso Le alternative eleganti per il lavoro e le mail. In una riunione puoi usare anche "mi associo", per allinearti a quanto ha appena detto un collega. Per più informazioni su come scrivere una mail formale in italiano, consulta la guida dedicata. (in una mail) "Ritengo che dovremmo posticipare l'incontro." — "Condivido pienamente." (in riunione) "Propongo di inviare il report entro venerdì." — "Sono dello stesso avviso." Tabella Riassuntiva delle 14 Alternative Ecco una tabella che riassume tutte le 14 alternative ad "anche io" organizzate per categoria. CategoriaEspressioneQuando usarlaAccordo neutroIdemRisposta veloce nel parlato quotidianoAccordo neutroPure io / Anch'ioFrasi positive (mai dopo una negazione!)Accordo neutroCome tePer sottolineare la stessa situazioneAccordo neutroPer me lo stessoPer ordinazioni al bar o al ristoranteEntusiasmoEsatto! / Esattamente!Per confermare con decisioneEntusiasmoVerissimo! / Proprio così!Per concordare al 100%EntusiasmoNon potrei essere più d'accordo!Per un accordo totaleEntusiasmoSottoscrivo!Espressivo e scherzosoEmpatiaTi capisco / Ti capisco benissimoQuando l'altro si sfogaEmpatiaSo cosa intendi / So cosa vuoi direPer mostrare comprensioneEmpatiaCi sono passato/a anch'ioPer condividere un'esperienza vissutaEmpatiaCapisco perfettamenteComprensione piena e totaleOpinioniLa penso allo stesso modo / Sono della stessa ideaConversazioni articolateFormaleCondivido / Sono dello stesso avvisoMail di lavoro e riunioni Domande Frequenti Cosa Si Dice Invece di "Anche Io" Dopo una Frase Negativa? Dopo una frase negativa NON devi mai dire "anche io" o "pure io", ma neanch'io (o le varianti nemmeno io / neppure io). Per esempio: "Non mangio la carne." → "Neanch'io!". Se invece la frase originale è "Non mi piace il pesce", la risposta diventa "Neanche a me". Qual È l'Espressione Più Usata dagli Italiani per Dire "Anche Io"? Nel parlato quotidiano, le espressioni più frequenti sono "idem" (corto e comodo), "pure io" (molto colloquiale) e "anch'io" (più neutra). Per esprimere entusiasmo, gli italiani usano spesso "esatto!" o "verissimo!". La scelta dipende dal contesto e dal grado di accordo che vuoi esprimere. Cosa Significa Esattamente "Sottoscrivo"? "Sottoscrivo" significa letteralmente "firmo sotto", come quando metti la firma in fondo a un documento. Usato come risposta, vuol dire "sono così d'accordo che ci metto la firma!". È un'espressione molto espressiva e leggermente scherzosa, perfetta per il parlato informale tra amici. Quali Espressioni Sono Adatte alle Mail di Lavoro? Per una mail formale o per il contesto professionale, le espressioni più eleganti sono "condivido", "sono dello stesso avviso", "sono della stessa idea" e "mi associo" (quest'ultima molto usata nelle riunioni). Evita assolutamente "anche io", "idem" o "pure io" in contesti formali. Posso Tradurre "I Hear You" con "Ti Sento"? Assolutamente no! È un classico falso amico. In italiano "ti sento" significa solo sentire fisicamente la

Send us Fan MailMany growing eCommerce businesses reach a point where their existing software can no longer keep pace with increasing operational complexity. Lightweight applications often lack the capabilities needed to support higher order volumes, expanding sales channels, and more sophisticated inventory and fulfillment requirements, while traditional ERP systems can be overly complex, costly, and difficult to implement. As the business scales, disconnected systems, manual processes, and fragmented data become increasingly common, reducing visibility across operations and making it harder to respond quickly to customer demand. The result is slower decision-making, operational inefficiencies, and shrinking margins at a stage when agility and scalability are essential for continued growth.In this episode, Sam Gupta and Shrestha Dash from ElevatIQ, Andy Pratico from Essential Software Solutions, and Phil Coerper from Ringling Business Solutions conduct an in-depth independent review of a leading FP&A platform Fulfil.IO.Video: https://www.elevatiq.com/events-and-webinars/fulfil-io-ai-powered-ecommerce-operations-platform-review-independent-in-depth/Questions for Panelists?

Oltre 7'000 metri cubi di roccia, detriti e legname si abbatterono sulla chiesa dedicata alla Madonna della Misericordia, considerata il centro spirituale della valle.La storia del santuario inizia il 10 ottobre 1492, quando due ragazze annunciarono di aver visto la Madonna mentre raccoglievano castagne. “Videro apparire questa figura piccola, tutta vestita di bianco, che disse loro: ‘Io sono la mamma di Dio'”, racconta lo storico Guido Scaramellini. Nel 1493 sorgeva già una piccola chiesa in legno, sostituita dall'attuale santuario tra la fine del Cinquecento e i primi del Seicento. La consacrazione avvenne nel 1615.Tesori artistici da salvareL'interno custodisce un prezioso ciclo di affreschi realizzato nei primi anni del Seicento da Domenico Caresana, pittore ticinese che lavorò anche nel Duomo di Milano. Tra le opere più significative, l'Incoronazione della Vergine di Paolo Camillo Landriano (1606) e dipinti settecenteschi di Cesare Ligari. Dopo la frana, oltre 120 opere tra dipinti, statue e arredi sono state recuperate e messe in sicurezza.Il cantiere del restauro“L'intervento non è solo un recupero dei danni, ma anche un miglioramento sismico dell'intera struttura”, spiega l'ingegnere Virgilio Scalco, direttore dei lavori. Sono state installate travi sovradimensionate sulla copertura per proteggere le volte affrescate da eventuali nuove cadute di massi.L'architetto Mauro De Giovanni coordina il restauro artistico: “La frana ha bucato un angolo di un affresco del Caresana. I frammenti sono stati catalogati e verranno riutilizzati per ricomporre l'opera”. Il lavoro più delicato riguarda la pulitura dalla polvere e il consolidamento degli intonaci distaccati.Come contribuireIl primo lotto di lavori ammonta a 4'600'000 euro: 3'600'000 da fondi pubblici (Regione Lombardia e Provincia) e 1'000'000 dalla Diocesi di Como e dalla parrocchia. “Finora abbiamo raccolto circa 300'000 euro attraverso donazioni”, afferma l'ingegnere Matteo Zubiani della commissione diocesana.Il santuario si è affiliato a Italia per il Dono, garantendo massima trasparenza. È possibile donare anche per il restauro di opere specifiche: 50 euro per due stelline della navata, 100 euro per il rosone. Sul sito sono visibili tutti i nomi dei donatori e i loro messaggi.La strada per la riapertura è ancora lunga, ma la fede dei valligiani e dei fedeli di ogni dove sta riportando in vita questo luogo simbolo della Valchiavenna.

Paolo Zagari"Giallo Roma"Un nuovo caso per MaraschinoFratelli Frilli Editoriwww.frillieditori.com“Non era soddisfatto Maraschino, si sentiva irrisolto. Non vedeva l'ora di prendere il motorino, infilarsi il casco, premere il pulsante di avviamento e dare gas. Dare gas al motore e al cervello”. È un'estate bollente, la città è vuota, e i nervi dei pochi rimasti sono a fior di pelle. In questo clima un agente immobiliare viene trovato ucciso dentro un condominio di San Lorenzo, quartiere storico di Roma. Le poche testimonianze parlano di lite furibonda, probabilmente una morte violenta dovuta a motivi razziali. Un bianco ucciso da un gruppo di neri. Maraschino, inviato del giornale “La Civetta”, si ritrova a seguire il classico caso che sembra fatto apposta per riempire le pagine dei giornali con polemiche da ombrellone: immigrati sì, immigrati no, integrazione o espulsione. Nel condominio di San Lorenzo strutturato come un ascensore sociale (ma senza ascensore) abitano bangladini, anziani, coppie di italiani, senegalesi, studenti, impiegati e una clus. Ognuno con una sua storia, ognuno con umori, dolori differenti e inconciliabili, così lontani eppure così tanto legati da essere uniti da un filo rosso di qualcosa di molto peggio: sangue. Maraschino prende appunti, beve caffè, vola col motorino impresentabile da un capo all'altro della città, indaga tra le pieghe umane di una realtà ben più complessa delle apparenze. Si impegna nel lavoro a modo suo non rinunciando alla sua piccola e frammentata vita privata che ruota intorno alla gatta Ollie e alla proto fidanzata Veronica con la quale cerca di non cadere nel baratro di quello che lui stesso definisce “coppiettismo”. La storia avanza attraverso un caleidoscopio di verità concatenate e sorprendenti colte da Maraschino e dalla sua giovane collega Elettra Rossi che per seguire la pista dell'inchiesta, si sposta persino a Salonicco in Grecia. Tra le altre attività preferite, il tennis, la cucina etnica e una qualche modo di attenuare l'orrore esistenziale. Arrivato alla fine di continui morali. Ma non ci riuscirà.Paolo Zagari (Roma, 1962) è scrittore, giornalista e saggista, con una lunga esperienza nel settore radiotelevisivo. È stato produttore e regista di documentari come Bosnia le radici spezzate, Los Tanos e Il deserto degli affetti, e inviato per trasmissioni Rai quali Chi l'ha visto, Crash, Sereno Variabile, Rai Storia e Il mondo di Quark.Nel 1994 vince il Premio letterario Diego Fabbri con Io, Woody e Allen (Edizioni Dedalo); nel 2007 il Premio Ilaria Alpi con il reportage "Il mercato delle braccia"; tre anni dopo il Premio Repubblica.it con l'inchiesta "Terra di nessuno".Come autore pubblica per Fazi Editore Smog (2009) e Il tradimento preventivo (2012), per Mds Editore Soli, bastardi e sentimentali (2019), Fuori dall'algoritmo (2021), Romanzetto marino (2023) e Il cavalletto di Siviglia (2025). Nel 2024 si dedica al noir con Un caso per Maraschino, primo volume di una trilogia edita da Frilli Editore. L'anno successivo esce Lupi a motore, la sua prima raccolta di poesie, con Edizioni Ensemble. Nel 2026 torna con un nuovo caso per Maraschino, Giallo Roma, sempre per Frilli Editore.Diventa un supporter di questo podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/il-posto-delle-parole--1487855/support.IL POSTO DELLE PAROLEascoltare fa pensarehttps://ilpostodelleparole.it/

Con l'odore delle grigliate estive nell'aria, questo nuovo episodio di IO&TEch prende una pausa dalle notizie frenetiche per dedicare una vera e propria lettera d'amore ai dispositivi compatti. Chiacchierando in totale relax, ripercorriamo la storia della linea "mini" di casa Apple: dal trionfale ritorno del Mac mini nell'era Apple Silicon fino al ruolo sempre più centrale del prossimo iPad mini OLED, in arrivo in autunno con cornici ridotte, chip A20 Pro a 2 nanometri e speaker rivoluzionari. Ma la vera domanda è: c'è spazio per un sesto modello nella line-up degli smartphone? Guidati da un prompt esplorativo fatto a Gemini, ci spingiamo a immaginare l'iPhone 18 mini dei sogni: un concentrato di tecnologia che sfrutta la riduzione dei bordi (BRS) per offrire 5,8 pollici di schermo, e la super-efficienza dei 2 nanometri per abbattere definitivamente l'ansia da batteria. Tra sogni di un iPhone Air bilanciato, l'imminente arrivo di Siri AI e i limiti strutturali, un inno per chi non vuole rinunciare al form factor più comodo di sempre.Visita Digiteee e scopri tutte le notizie sulla tecnologiaSegui Digiteee su TikTokDimmi la tua su Twitter, su Threads, su Telegram, su Mastodon, su BlueSky o su Instagram.Mail jacoporeale@yahoo.it Scopri dove ascoltare il podcast e lascia una recensione su Apple Podcast o Spotify.Ascolta An iPad guy su YouTube Podcast.Supporta il podcast

Claudio Rinaldi"Viaggio in America"Gianni BreraNino Aragno Editorewww.ninoaragnoeditore.itClaudio Rinaldi"Viaggio in America"Gianni BreraNino Aragno Editorewww.ninoaragnoeditore.itNella primavera del 1955 Gianni Brera sale su un aereo diretto a New York. Non è un viaggio di piacere: il Dipartimento di Stato americano ha selezionato un gruppo di giornalisti europei per un tour di tre mesi attraverso gli Stati Uniti, con l'obiettivo dichiarato di farne conoscere lo sport e i campus universitari in piena Guerra fredda culturale. Brera, allora al vertice della sua fama di firma sportiva e appena allontanato dalla direzione della Gazzetta dello Sport anche per le sue simmetrie di sinistra, accetta. Atterra l'8 aprile e non farà ritorno prima di luglio, dopo undici voli interni e tappe a New York, Washington, New Haven, Filadelfia, Indianapolis, Chicago, San Francisco, Stockton, Los Angeles, Denver. Da quel viaggio nascono reportage che oggi Claudio Rinaldi ha riunito per la prima volta in volume, Viaggio in America, edito da Aragno. Sono pagine scritte per Tempo, L'Illustrazione Italiana e L'Équipe: inchieste sulla boxe, sull'atletica, sul football, sulle corse di cavalli e di automobili, ma anche cronache di costume che intrecciano sport, razza, potere e diseguaglianza nell'America di metà secolo. C'è persino un'intervista ad Avery Brundage, allora presidente del Comitato Olimpico Internazionale, sui Giochi di Roma del 1960. Brera confessa di sentirsi come "in un polmone d'acciaio: quello della mia ignoranza" della lingua inglese, eppure proprio quello spaesamento affina il suo sguardo e la sua scrittura, spingendolo verso un giornalismo che è insieme cronaca, sociologia e letteratura. Colpisce, rileggendo oggi quelle corrispondenze, la lucidità con cui Brera osserva un paese che non conosce e di cui non parla la lingua: annota il fascino ambiguo del football americano ("troppo bello perché il calcio possa attecchire qui"), si aggira tra le palestre di boxe di Chicago e i quartieri di Little Italy, assiste al Kentucky Derby, misura la distanza tra lo sport-spettacolo statunitense e quello, ancora largamente dilettantistico, dell'Italia del dopoguerra. Ne esce un affresco che è insieme reportage sportivo e ritratto sociale, attraversato da un'idea di giornalismo per cui la cronaca di una gara di velocità o di un incontro di pugilato diventa lente per leggere razza, classe, potere e mito americano. Claudio Rinaldi, biografo e tra i massimi studiosi dell'opera di Brera, firma la curatela di questo volume che restituisce un tassello finora poco conosciuto della sua produzione: uno snodo stilistico e ideologico che anticipa la stagione del giornalismo culturale breriano, dalle pagine del Giorno fino a Repubblica, di cui Brera sarà tra le firme fondative. Nell'intervista che presentiamo, Rinaldi ricostruisce la genesi del viaggio e il contesto politico che lo rese possibile, il lavoro di ricerca che ha permesso di raccogliere per la prima volta in volume articoli dispersi su testate diverse, il metodo di un cronista che pur non parlando inglese seppe leggere in profondità un paese lontano dal suo, e il valore che queste pagine assumono oggi, settant'anni dopo, per chi vuole capire non solo Brera ma l'incontro-scontro tra due modi opposti di intendere lo sport e la modernità. Un'occasione, per i lettori/ascoltatori de Il Posto delle Parole, di riscoprire attraverso l'America degli anni Cinquanta la voce di uno dei più grandi narratori dello sport italiano: un Brera meno noto, in viaggio, spaesato e insieme acutissimo, alle prese con un mondo che di lì a poco avrebbe cambiato per sempre il modo di raccontare lo sport anche da queste parti.Gianni Brera  (1919 - 1992) è stato il più grande giornalista sportivo italiano. Direttore della «Gazzetta dello Sport» a trent'anni, ha scritto per il «Guerin Sportivo», «il Giorno», «il Giornale», «la Repubblica», oltre a infinite altre collaborazioni. Tra i suoi innumerevoli libri si ricordino L'avocatt in bicicletta (1952), Il sesso degli Ercoli (1959), Io, Coppi (1960), La pacciada, con Luigi Veronelli (1973), Incontri e invettive (1974), Storia critica del calcio italiano (1975), Coppi e il diavolo (1981), i romanzi Il corpo della ragassa (1969), Naso bugiardo (1977) e Il mio vescovo e le animalesse (1983), oltre a vari manuali tecnici di calcio e di atletica leggera e alla traduzione di tre opere di Molière (Il misantropo, Tartufo, L'avaro), con un'ampia nota critica introduttiva (1947).Claudio Rinaldi , 57 anni, è il direttore della «Gazzetta di Parma», dove è entrato come praticante nel 1991. Ha deciso di fare il giornalista quando era un ragazzino, dopo essersi imbattuto in Gianni Brera ed essere rimasto folgorato dalla sua prosa. A Brera ha dedicato il libro Gioannfucarlo: Vita e scritti inediti di Gianni Brera (2001), scritto con Paolo Brera, e la voce del Dizionario biografico degli italiani della Treccani (2014). Ha scritto biografie dell'arbitro internazionale di calcio Alberto Michelotti e dell'allenatore di maratoneti Luciano Gigliotti e un volume sulle storie degli emigranti dall'Appennino parmense in Inghilterra, in Francia e negli Stati Uniti.Diventa un supporter di questo podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/il-posto-delle-parole--1487855/support.IL POSTO DELLE PAROLEascoltare fa pensarehttps://ilpostodelleparole.it/

A Harvard astrophysicist once suggested that the best explanation for our moon is observational error — that the moon simply does not exist. Sometimes the theory is in more trouble than the evidence. In the Sunday school hour at Quentin Road Baptist Church, Dr. Jake Hebert of the Institute for Creation Research takes the class on a tour of the solar system and deep space, and makes a claim that sounds backwards until you hear it out: recent creation is the more reasonable position. Age, he argues, is never measured in a laboratory — it is calculated from assumptions about the past, and those assumptions rule out creation before the evidence is ever examined. Then the tour: comets that should have melted away long ago, propped up by an Oort cloud that Carl Sagan admitted has no direct evidence behind it. Magnetic fields still humming on small bodies that should have gone cold eons ago. Saturn's rings, Titan's methane, volcanic Io, a crater-free plain on Pluto. Earth's own magnetic field losing half its energy every 1,400 years. A creation physicist who read 2 Peter 3:5 and predicted the magnetism of Mercury, Uranus, and Neptune while mainstream models missed at nearly every planet. And the hard one everybody asks about — how we can see starlight from billions of light years away in a universe only thousands of years old. The companion to the morning message "Our Young World," and an entirely different subject: this hour is the sky. Scripture referenced: Psalm 19:1; Genesis 1:5, 8; 2 Peter 3:5; Mark 10:6

"Non ho visto nessuno." Ma come?! Due negazioni nella stessa frase? In matematica meno per meno fa più… ma in italiano funziona così? E soprattutto: è giusto o è un errore? La doppia negazione è uno di quegli argomenti che separano chi "studia" l'italiano da chi lo parla davvero come un madrelingua. Scopriamo insieme le 8 trappole più comuni e come puoi evitarle. Smettila di Dire "NON MAI VADO" In italiano la doppia negazione non è un errore: è correttissima e spesso addirittura obbligatoria. Tra gli errori più comuni in italiano, quelli sulla doppia negazione sono tra i più diffusi. Vediamo prima la regola d'oro e poi gli 8 errori classici che devi assolutamente evitare. Le Parole Negative dell'Italiano In italiano abbiamo un piccolo gruppo di parole negative, che devi tenere sempre a mente: niente, nulla, nessuno, mai, né… né, neanche, nemmeno, neppure, affatto, mica (e anche più, nel senso di "non più", che si comporta in modo un po' speciale). La regola che le governa è una sola e si basa sulla posizione: Se la parola negativa viene dopo il verbo → ti serve anche "non" prima del verbo. Ecco la doppia negazione! → "Non ho visto nessuno." Se la parola negativa viene prima del verbo → "non" sparisce. Negazione singola! → "Nessuno è venuto." Questa regola funziona alla perfezione con nessuno, niente/nulla, mai, né… né, neanche/nemmeno/neppure. Tienila a mente, perché i primi errori che vedremo nascono proprio da qui. Un'unica regola, e già un sacco di modi diversi di sbagliarla. Piccole Eccezioni: "Più" e "Ancora" La parola più (nel senso di "non più") vuole quasi sempre il "non" e non si mette mai prima del verbo per negare: non dici "Più ti amo", ma "Non ti amo più". Fai attenzione anche a ancora: da sola non è una parola negativa (in "ho ancora tempo" è positiva!), ma quando significa "not yet" vuole il "non" anche quando sta prima del verbo → "Ancora non ho finito". Sono le due piccole ribelli che non seguono del tutto la regola dell'anteposizione. Curiosità Linguistica: la Concordanza Negativa Questo fenomeno ha un nome tecnico: si chiama concordanza negativa. Significa che le negazioni, invece di annullarsi a vicenda, "collaborano" e rinforzano insieme il significato negativo. Non è una stranezza solo dell'italiano: anche lo spagnolo ("No vi a nadie") e il francese ("Je ne vois personne") funzionano allo stesso modo. È una caratteristica di famiglia delle lingue romanze. Anzi, per gran parte della storia delle lingue europee questa è stata la norma, e l'idea che "due negazioni si annullano" è un'imposizione relativamente recente della logica e della matematica sulla lingua di tutti i giorni. Errore n°1 — Dimenticare il "Non" È l'errore numero uno degli anglofoni. In inglese si dice "I saw nobody": una sola negazione. Quindi è naturale tradurre parola per parola e dire "Ho visto nessuno". Ma in italiano, se "nessuno" sta dopo il verbo, ti serve il "non". Da evitareCorretto"Capisco niente""Non capisco niente""Vado mai in palestra""Non vado mai in palestra""Vedo nessuno""Non vedo nessuno" Perché succede? Perché a scuola, agli studenti di lingua inglese, insegnano che "two negatives make a positive", cioè che due negazioni si annullano. Ma rilassati: l'italiano non è una lezione di matematica. Qui le due negazioni non si annullano (vedi? Anche questa è una doppia negazione perfetta!), anzi, più ne metti, più la frase è negativa. Trabocchetto Collegato: "Qualcuno/Qualcosa" al Posto di "Nessuno/Niente" C'è un secondo modo, più nascosto, di cadere in questo errore. Molti studenti, per "salvare" la frase, evitano la parola negativa e usano qualcuno o qualcosa. Per approfondire questo punto, puoi consultare la guida sugli aggettivi indefiniti in italiano. Da evitareCorretto"Non ho visto qualcuno""Non ho visto nessuno""Non ho mangiato qualcosa""Non ho mangiato niente" Nelle frasi negative devi usare nessuno e niente, non qualcuno e qualcosa (che restano per le frasi affermative e per le domande: "Hai visto qualcuno?"). Tienilo a mente, perché è un errore subdolo che fanno anche studenti di livello avanzato. Errore n°2 — Mettere il "Non" quando NON Serve Questo è l'errore opposto, quello dello "studente bravo che ha imparato fin troppo bene la regola precedente". Quando la parola negativa è prima del verbo, il "non" diventa di troppo. Da evitareCorretto"Nessuno non è venuto alla festa""Nessuno è venuto alla festa""Niente non è cambiato""Niente è cambiato" La cosa interessante è che puoi dire la stessa identica cosa in due modi diversi, semplicemente spostando la parola negativa: "Non è venuto nessuno" ("nessuno" dopo il verbo → c'è "non") "Nessuno è venuto" ("nessuno" prima del verbo → niente "non") Stesso significato, due strutture diverse. Regola pratica da ricordare: o "non", o la parola negativa davanti al verbo. Mai tutti e due insieme. Una Differenza di "Sapore" Le due strutture non sono identiche al 100% nell'uso reale. Quando metti la negazione prima del verbo ("Nessuno è venuto", "Niente è cambiato"), la frase suona un po' più solenne, letteraria, da titolo di giornale. Quando invece usi la doppia negazione con "non" ("Non è venuto nessuno"), suona più naturale e quotidiana: è quella che useresti parlando con un amico al bar. Entrambe sono corrette, ma sapere questa sfumatura ti aiuta a scegliere il registro giusto. Errore n°3 — Sbagliare la Posizione di "Mai" con i Tempi Composti Questo è un errore sottile ma frequentissimo. Con i tempi composti, come il passato prossimo, la posizione naturale di mai, più, ancora, nemmeno non è alla fine della frase, ma tra l'ausiliare e il participio. Per ripassare la formazione di questo tempo, puoi consultare la guida sul passato prossimo e il participio passato. Da evitareNaturale"Non ho visto mai un film così bello""Non ho mai visto un film così bello" Altri esempi: "Non ho più avuto sue notizie." "Non è ancora arrivato." "Non ho nemmeno iniziato." Il "non" resta sempre davanti all'ausiliare, mentre la parola negativa si "incastra" prima del participio. Una volta che ci hai fatto l'orecchio, ti verrà automatico. E con i Verbi Modali? Stessa logica: la negazione si infila vicino al verbo coniugato, non all'infinito. "Non voglio più vederti." "Non posso mai uscire la sera." Il "più" e il "mai" si appoggiano al modale (voglio, posso), non all'infinito. Piccolo dettaglio, grande differenza nel suono naturale della frase. Errore n°4 — Confondere "Né… Né" con "O… O" Quando vuoi negare due cose insieme, in italiano devi usare né… né (con l'accento sulla "é"!), non o… o. Per approfondire l'uso, puoi consultare la guida su tutte le congiunzioni italiane. Da evitareCorretto"Non mangio o carne o pesce""Non mangio né carne né pesce""Mangio né carne né pesce""Non mangio né carne né pesce" Vale sempre la regola della posizione: se "né… né" sta dopo il verbo, ti serve il "non". Ma se "né… né" apre la frase, cioè sta prima del verbo, allora il "non" sparisce di nuovo (esattamente come nell'Errore n°2!): "Né Marco né Luca sono venuti." Dettaglio sull'accordo: quando il soggetto è "né X né Y", il verbo va quasi sempre al plurale ("Né Marco né Luca sono venuti"), anche se in altre lingue ti verrebbe naturale il singolare. Errore n°5 — Rispondere "Anch'io Non…" invece di "Neanch'io" Questo errore è subdolo, perché non è un errore di grammatica: "Anch'io non bevo caffè" è una frase corretta! Il problema è che come risposta di accordo a una frase negativa suona innaturale: nessun madrelingua risponde così. Per approfondire, puoi consultare la guida su come esprimere accordo e disaccordo in italiano. InnaturaleNaturale"Io non bevo caffè. – Anch'io non bevo caffè.""Io non bevo caffè. – Neanch'io!" Ricorda la differenza: anch'io risponde a una frase positiva → "Amo la pizza! – Anch'io!" neanch'io risponde a una frase negativa → "Non amo l'ananas sulla pizza. – Neanch'io!" Lo stesso vale con il complemento: "Non piace a me. – Neanche a me!" Estendiamo a Tutte le Persone Funziona uguale per tutti: "Lui non viene. – Neanche lei." "Non l'ho mai fatto. – Neanche noi." Nel parlato sentirai spessissimo espressioni colorite come "Neanche per sogno!" o "Neanche per idea!", che significano semplicemente "assolutamente no". Usale e suonerai subito più italiano. Errore n°6 — Sbagliare le Parole dopo "Senza" Ecco un errore che pochi insegnano. Dopo senza, in italiano si usano le parole negative niente e nessuno, NON qualcosa e qualcuno. Da evitareCorretto"È uscito senza dire qualcosa""È uscito senza dire niente""È partito senza salutare qualcuno""È partito senza salutare nessuno" E c'è un secondo trabocchetto, ancora più frequente: dopo senza NON devi aggiungere il "non"! Da evitareCorretto"È uscito senza non dire niente""È uscito senza dire niente" Perché? Perché senza è già di per sé una parola negativa: porta dentro di sé il concetto del "non avere / non fare". Per questo non ha bisogno di un altro "non" davanti. È un piccolo gioiello di logica della lingua: una volta che l'hai capito, non lo sbaglierai più. Errore n°7 — Fraintendere le Frasi tipo "Non Posso Non…" Ti ricordi che ti ho detto "in italiano le negazioni non si annullano"? Ebbene, c'è un caso magnifico in cui invece sì — e se non lo conosci, rischi di capire l'esatto contrario di quello che ti viene detto! "Non posso non ringraziarti" → significa "DEVO ringraziarti" (positivo!). "Non potevo non accorgermene" → "per forza me ne sono accorto". L'errore è proprio questo: senti "Non posso non aiutarti" e pensi "quindi non mi aiuta". Sbagliato! Qui le due negazioni cadono su due verbi diversi ("non posso" + "non ringraziare"), quindi seguono la logica matematica e si annullano, dando un senso affermativo. Nella concordanza negativa di prima, invece,...

SCHEDULE FOR THE JOHN BATCHELOR SHOW, 7-24-20261940 BERLINJeff Bliss reports from Los Angeles, where Mayor Karen Bass's "Inside Safe" program faces scrutiny as figures show 41% of participants returned to homelessness. Encampments have expanded significantly, with Skid Row growing from five blocks to over 50. Bliss notes that organized crime cartels reportedly rent dilapidated RVs to the homeless, profiting from government stipends. Despite rising homelessness rates and disappointing results, local politicians are criticized for a lack of accountability and for fostering a "homelessness industry." (1)Jeff Bliss notes the Oakland Athletics are preparing for a move to Las Vegas, with high-profile investor Mark Cubanjoining as a minority owner to boost the franchise's profile. Development plans include a unique heart-shaped hotel on a previously failed ferris wheel site near the future stadium. Meanwhile, Hollywood faces "creative destruction" as Pixarinitiates layoffs despite box office success. Additionally, location shoot bookings in Los Angeles have dropped 13%, signaling a shift in the film industry. (2)Richard Epstein critiques the Smithsonian's "Many Voices, One Nation" exhibit for its "woke" portrayal of American history. He argues the exhibit unfairly reduces Benjamin Franklin to an "alleged racist" while ignoring his foundational contributions. Epstein highlights the complexity of figures like Thomas Jefferson, who authored the Declaration of Independence yet held restrictive views on immigration. The discussion underscores a perceived ideological mono-culture within the history profession that prioritizes narrative over factual nuance. (3)Richard Epstein analyzes the Trump administration's reintroduction of tariffs, now targeting allies like Australia and the EU under the guise of combating "forced labor." Epstein characterizes these moves as "lawfare" and "mindless isolationism," noting that these allies often have superior working conditions compared to the U.S. He warns that such policies alienate essential partners needed to counter global threats from Russia, Iran, and China, effectively driving allies to organize independently. (4)Jim McTague reports from Lancaster County, Pennsylvania, where Costco gas prices have reached $4.09, causing "mind-numbing" costs for residents. While some business slowdowns are noted, local diners remain full, supported by a robust retiree demographic with "deep pockets." The real estate market is exceptionally tight, with only 200 homes available as New Yorkers continue to bid up prices for high-quality housing. McTague concludes with observations on local tourism and his upcoming road trip to Kentucky. (5)Lorenzo Fiato reports Italy is battling severe wildfires in Sicily and Sardinia amid a prolonged heatwave. Fiato reports that Italians face exorbitant fuel costs, reaching $9.50 per gallon on motorways due to heavy taxation. To avoid over-tourism in cities like Florence, he recommends visiting Ascoli Piceno, the "town of the 100 towers," known for its travertine architecture. He concludes with culinary recommendations, including the traditional Spaghetti Ascolana paired with local Pecorino or Rosso Piceno wines. (6)Bob Zimmerman reports Rocket Lab has secured major Pentagon contracts for hypersonic test launches, potentially utilizing a remote new facility in Alaska. SpaceX is rumored to be planning a massive spaceport in Louisiana, while Northrop Grumman is successfully deploying robotic satellite-servicing pods. Conversely, Zimmerman criticizes "leftist governments" in the UK and Australia for stifling their domestic space industries with excessive red tape and "meaningless bureaucratic jargon," which forces young aerospace talent to seek opportunities abroad. (7)Bob Zimmerman highlights the "bankruptcy" of modern academia, citing a study where half of social science papers failed replication tests. He discusses an upcoming Falcon 9 rocket impact on the moon scheduled for August 5th and new data from the Juno mission revealing Io's subsurface temperatures. Additionally, scientists are investigating whether a suspected asteroid is actually a failed 1980s Soviet Mars probe, although Zimmerman remains skeptical of speculative theories involving alien technology. (8)Henry Sokolski examines a proposed deal to provide Saudi Arabia with nuclear power that has sparked intense proliferation concerns. While the Department of Energy initially signaled a "green light," the Trump administration later conditioned the agreement on Saudi Arabia joining the Abraham Accords. Sokolski warns that without "Additional Protocol" inspections, the kingdom could use the technology to develop a "bomb option." This follows the Crown Prince's 2018 assertion that Saudi Arabia would seek nuclear weapons if Iran acquired them. (9)Henry Sokolski continues: the Saudi nuclear deal remains "contradictory," with the White House and Department of Energy appearing out of sync. Media criticism reportedly prompted the president to demand a "quid pro quo"—Saudi recognition of Israel—to justify the proliferation risks. Israel remains in a difficult position; while desiring normalization, it privately opposes a Saudi nuclear program that could trigger a regional arms race. The deal's progress depends on whether it is submitted to Congress by late September. (10)Peter Huessy explains "extended deterrence," the U.S. nuclear umbrella protecting allies from aggression. Huessy critiques a proposal to delegate nuclear authority to a "three-key" system involving France and the UK, arguing it would create dangerous indecision during a crisis. He notes that allies increasingly doubt U.S. resolve. Strategy has shifted toward "counterforce" targets, aiming to disable an enemy's leadership and military capability rather than destroying cities, to provide "flexible response" options. (11)Peter Huessy notes Russia holds a 20-to-1 advantage over the U.S. in "theater" or tactical nuclear weapons, which Putinuses for "nuclear blackmail" to keep NATO out of the Ukraine conflict. Huessy argues the U.S. must deploy survivable, sea-based theater weapons to restore a credible deterrent. Reflecting on the realistic horror of the 1984 film Threads, he warns that even a single tactical exchange could rapidly escalate into a global catastrophe that ends civilization. (12)Captain James Fanell reports China is escalating physical violence against Philippine Navy personnel at Second Thomas Shoal, including "poking, prodding, and beating" sailors. Fanell explains this "petulant" behavior coincides with the 10th anniversary of a Hague ruling that invalidated China's maritime claims. Simultaneously, China and Russiaconducted joint live-fire drills in Japan's exclusive economic zone. These coordinated actions signal Beijing's intent to ignore international law and forcibly challenge the sovereignty of its neighbors. (13)Captain James Fanell reports China recently conducted its first submarine-launched ballistic missile test in the South Pacific in 40 years. Fanell reports that China has shifted to a "first use" nuclear policy and is completing its triad with the H-20 stealth bomber. He uses the "boiling frog" analogy to describe China's incremental aggression, warning that the U.S.must recognize these self-evident intentions before a "shot" is taken against regional forces or allies like Taiwan. (14)Conrad Black disputes Prime Minister Mark Carney's characterization of Canada as a "middle power," arguing the term is obsolete for a G7 nation with a larger economy than Russia. He critiques Carney's attempt to foster ties with China, noting China's "tatters" economy and history of disregarding trade agreements. Black maintains that Canada should prioritize its vital relationship with the U.S. while embracing a more ambitious and patriotic view of its global influence. (15)Veronique de Rugy argues autonomous vehicles like Waymo could reduce road fatalities by 94%, yet their adoption is stalled by opposition from trial lawyers and unions. Unions fear job losses for taxi, truck, and delivery drivers, though de Rugy argues automation historically transitions workers into higher-paying, less tedious roles. She emphasizes that driverless cars would provide life-changing accessibility for rural and elderly populations who currently lack reliable transportation options. (16)

He discusses an upcoming Falcon 9 rocket impact on the moon scheduled for August 5th and new data from the Juno mission revealing Io's subsurface temperatures. Additionally, scientists are investigating whether a suspected asteroid is actually a failed 1980s Soviet Mars probe, although Zimmerman remains skeptical of speculative theories involving alien technology.

"Non è un paese per single" di Felicia Kingsley e "Io sono Adele" di Csaba dalla ZorzaUn'autrice da 4 milioni di copie con oltre 20 libri: parliamo di Felicia Kingsley, pseudonimo di una scrittrice italiana considerata una delle massime esponenti del genere Romance, nell'accezione della commedia romantica. Sono suoi romanzi come "Matrimonio di convenienza", che era stato il suo esordio nel 2017, "Due cuori in affitto", "Ti aspetto a Central Park" e "Non è un paese per single" (tutti pubblicati da Newton Compton) uscito nel 2022, ma che ora è tornato alla ribalta in una nuova edizione, in seguito al film che ne è stato tratto con la regia di Laura Chiossone, disponibile su Prime Video. "Non è un paese per single" è una sorta la riscrittura di "Orgoglio e Pregiudizio" di Jane Austen, ma è ambientato in Toscana ai giorni nostri. Siamo a Belvedere in Chianti ed Elisa, madre single, si occupa della tenuta vitivinicola Le Giugiole. Alla morte del conte Ricasoli, arriva dall'Inghilterra l'erede, il nipote Charles, in compagnia dell'amico Michael Darcy, amici di infanzia che Elisa non vede da anni. Elisa teme di perdere il lavoro che ama (lei adora prendersi cura delle vigne e produrre vino), ma la storia d'amore ovviamente è dietro l'angolo.Nella seconda parte parliamo del nuovo romanzo di Csaba dalla Zorza. Immaginate una donna con una vita di successo e che a 60 anni, però, decide di abbandonare Milano e trasferirsi in un paesino della Provenza per andare a servizio presso una famiglia benestante. Questa donna si chiama Adele Casagrande ed è la protagonista di "Io sono Adele" (Marsilio), secondo romanzo di Csaba dalla Zorza che aveva avuto un bel successo con il suo esordio "La Governante" dove già compariva il personaggio di Adele. Attraverso le attività manuali (lei ama lavare i piatti a mano) e il rapporto con gli oggetti, Adele riesce a ritrovare veramente se stessa.

Con questo quiz imparerai a riconoscere gli errori nelle frasi italiane reali, quelli che anche gli studenti più avanzati fanno ogni giorno senza accorgersene. Riconoscere un errore è il primo passo per non rifarlo mai più. Quanti Errori Riesci a Trovare? Metti alla Prova il Tuo Italiano Le Regole del Quiz Prima di iniziare, tieni a mente queste semplici indicazioni. Leggi ogni frase e cerca l'errore da solo prima di leggere la spiegazione. Non tutte le frasi contengono necessariamente un errore — leggi con attenzione prima di rispondere. Sii onesto con te stesso: il risultato sarà tanto più utile quanto più è sincero. Per ogni errore trovato correttamente guadagni un punto. Alla fine scoprirai cosa significa il tuo punteggio. Le 6 Frasi del Quiz Frase 1 — Livello A1 (Principiante) Trova l'errore nella seguente frase: «Io hai un cane molto simpatico.» [...] Risposta: l'Errore È il Verbo "Hai" «Hai» è la seconda persona singolare del verbo avere — si usa con «tu». Ma la frase inizia con «io», quindi il verbo deve essere alla prima persona singolare: «ho». Vale la pena notare che in italiano il pronome soggetto si omette spesso, perché la desinenza del verbo è già sufficiente a capire di chi si parla. Quindi «ho un cane molto simpatico» è la forma più naturale. Usare «io» non è sbagliato — è semplicemente ridondante. Frase corretta: «Io ho un cane molto simpatico.» — oppure, più naturalmente: «Ho un cane molto simpatico.» Frase 2 — Livello A2 (Elementare) Trova l'errore nella seguente frase: «Ieri ho andato al supermercato con mia madre.» [...] Risposta: l'Errore È l'Ausiliare "Ho" «Andare» è un verbo di movimento intransitivo e in italiano richiede l'ausiliare «essere», non «avere». Quindi non si dice «ho andato» ma «sono andato» — o «sono andata» se chi parla è una donna. Capire quali verbi vogliono «essere» e quali «avere» al passato prossimo è una delle difficoltà più grandi per chi impara l'italiano. Una buona regola generale — non infallibile, ma utile — è che i verbi di movimento e di stato in luogo tendono a volere «essere». Frase corretta: «Ieri sono andato al supermercato con mia madre.» Frase 3 — Livello B1 (Intermedio) Trova l'errore nella seguente frase: «Dove hai messo le chiavi? Le ho cercate dappertutto ma non le ho trovate nessuna.» [...] Risposta: l'Errore È "Non le ho trovate nessuna" «Nessuna» è già di per sé un pronome negativo che esprime la negazione totale — da solo basta a dire che non è stata trovata neanche una chiave. Aggiungere il pronome clitico «le» prima è ridondante e agrammaticale: i due elementi si escludono a vicenda. La forma corretta usa il pronome «ne», che sostituisce «le chiavi» con valore partitivo. Questo è un errore classico, soprattutto per chi parla spagnolo o francese, dove strutture simili esistono. Frase corretta: «Dove hai messo le chiavi? Le ho cercate dappertutto ma non ne ho trovata nessuna.» Frase 4 — Livello B2 (Intermedio Superiore) Trova l'errore nella seguente frase: «I ragazzi si sono divertiti molto alla festa, anche se all'inizio sembravano annoianti.» [...] Risposta: l'Errore È "Annoianti" — Parola che Non Esiste «Annoianti» non esiste in italiano. Molti studenti la creano per analogia con «divertenti», ma il participio/aggettivo corretto è «annoiati» — dal verbo annoiarsi. Vale la pena tenere a mente la differenza: annoiati = le persone provano noia (stato d'animo) noiosi = le persone o le cose causano noia negli altri «I ragazzi erano noiosi» significherebbe che erano loro a fare annoiare gli altri — che probabilmente non è quello che si vuole dire. Frase corretta: «I ragazzi si sono divertiti molto alla festa, anche se all'inizio sembravano annoiati.» Frase 5 — Livello C1 (Avanzato) Trova l'errore nella seguente frase: «È necessario che tutti i dipendenti abbiano firmato il documento entro domani.» [...] Risposta: l'Errore È il Congiuntivo Passato "Abbiano Firmato" Il congiuntivo passato si usa per indicare un'azione già completata nel passato rispetto alla frase principale. Ma qui si parla di qualcosa che deve ancora succedere — firmare il documento entro domani è un'azione futura. Serve quindi il congiuntivo presente: «firmino». La distinzione tra congiuntivo presente e congiuntivo passato è una di quelle cose che a livello C1 fa davvero la differenza — non solo nella grammatica, ma nel significato. «Abbiano firmato» farebbe pensare che la firma dovesse già essere avvenuta, il che cambierebbe completamente il senso della frase. Frase corretta: «È necessario che tutti i dipendenti firmino il documento entro domani.» Frase 6 — Livello C2 (Quasi Madrelingua) Trova l'errore nella seguente frase: «Qualora avete bisogno di ulteriori informazioni, non esitate a contattarci.» [...] Risposta: l'Errore È l'Indicativo "Avete" dopo "Qualora" «Avete» è l'indicativo presente, ma «qualora» è una congiunzione ipotetica che in italiano vuole sempre il congiuntivo. È una di quelle congiunzioni — come «affinché», «sebbene», «benché» — che reggono obbligatoriamente il congiuntivo, senza eccezioni. «Qualora» si usa soprattutto nel registro formale e scritto — nelle email di lavoro, nei documenti ufficiali, nei contratti. Conoscere questa struttura permette di scrivere in italiano in modo davvero elegante e professionale. Frase corretta: «Qualora abbiate bisogno di ulteriori informazioni, non esitate a contattarci.» I Risultati del Quiz Conta i tuoi punti e scopri il tuo livello. PunteggioLivelloDescrizione0–2 puntiA1/A2 — PrincipianteStai costruendo le basi. Concentrati sulla coniugazione dei verbi e sulla scelta degli ausiliari — sono i fondamenti su cui si costruisce tutto il resto.3–4 puntiB1/B2 — IntermedioBuona padronanza delle strutture di base. Alcune regole più sottili ti sfuggono ancora, ma sei sulla strada giusta.5–6 puntiC1/C2 — AvanzatoIl tuo italiano è solido. Cogli anche gli errori più sottili — quelli che fanno la differenza tra un buon italiano e un italiano davvero preciso. Tieni presente che questo è un test orientativo, utile per avere un'idea generale del tuo livello di accuratezza grammaticale. Domande Frequenti Perché "Andare" Vuole "Essere" e Non "Avere" al Passato? In italiano i verbi intransitivi di movimento e di stato in luogo tendono a formare il passato prossimo con l'ausiliare «essere». «Andare» rientra in questa categoria. Una regola pratica è ricordare che con «essere» il participio concorda con il soggetto (sono andato/andata/andati/andate), mentre con «avere» rimane invariato. Qual È la Differenza tra "Annoiato" e "Noioso"? «Annoiato» descrive chi prova noia — è uno stato d'animo del soggetto. «Noioso» descrive invece chi o cosa causa noia negli altri. Dire «i ragazzi erano annoiati» significa che si annoiavano; dire «i ragazzi erano noiosi» significa che annoiavano gli altri. La confusione tra i due è molto comune tra gli studenti stranieri. Quando Si Usa il Congiuntivo Presente e Quando il Congiuntivo Passato? Il congiuntivo presente si usa quando l'azione della frase subordinata è contemporanea o successiva rispetto alla frase principale: «È necessario che firmino» (devono ancora farlo). Il congiuntivo passato si usa quando l'azione subordinata è già avvenuta prima del momento della frase principale: «È possibile che abbiano già firmato» (l'hanno già fatto). La scelta tra i due cambia completamente il significato della frase. Quali Congiunzioni Richiedono Sempre il Congiuntivo in Italiano? Le principali congiunzioni che richiedono obbligatoriamente il congiuntivo sono: «affinché», «sebbene», «benché», «nonostante», «quantunque», «qualora», «purché», «a meno che», «prima che». Memorizzarle come gruppo è il modo più efficace per non sbagliare. Perché "Non Lo So Se" È Sbagliato in Italiano? In italiano il pronome «lo» non può anticipare una frase interrogativa indiretta introdotta da «se». Con le interrogative indirette — frasi che esprimono una domanda o un dubbio in forma indiretta — il pronome va semplicemente omesso. La forma corretta è «non so se», senza alcun pronome prima. Questo errore è molto comune tra chi parla spagnolo («no lo sé si») o francese. Pronto a sfidare il tuo italiano su un altro fronte?

In this episode of the Prolonged Field Care Podcast, Dennis sits down with Dr. Andre Cap to unpack the evolving role of calcium in trauma resuscitation. What started as the “new hotness” in forward blood transfusion protocols has become far more nuanced. They discuss the dangers of both hypocalcemia and hypercalcemia, how citrate in all blood products binds ionized calcium, cardiac effects, recent observational data showing worse outcomes with hypercalcemia, and practical guidance for when, how, and how much calcium to give in austere and prolonged field care environments.Whether you're running a Role 2, working prolonged field care, or just trying to keep your patient alive until definitive care, this episode challenges long-held assumptions and offers field-practical recommendations.Key Takeaways:All blood products contain citrate, which binds ionized calcium — expect hypocalcemia with significant transfusion.Both hypo- and hypercalcemia are bad; recent data shows hypercalcemia is associated with worse mortality than hypocalcemia.Current TCCC guidance (1g calcium after first unit) was written to fix under-use; it may now be too aggressive in some scenarios.Give calcium after blood products, not before. Consider waiting until after 2+ units in most cases.Slow IV push (over ~5 minutes) through a confirmed good peripheral line; calcium chloride is a vesicant — use caution (gluconate is safer).Avoid calcium chloride via IO if possible. Titrate to clinical response when monitoring isn't available.In refractory shock you can give more, but don't give calcium as a standalone resuscitation drug — it can be harmful without volume replacement.Ideal future state: Bring i-STAT capability forward when feasible and get better RCT data.Perfect for medics, PAs, physicians, and anyone managing hemorrhagic shock in austere environments.Links:⁠www.prolongedfieldcare.org⁠ | @prolonged_field_carePodcast Chapters (with Timestamps):00:00 – Intro & Welcome00:39 – Why Calcium Became “The New Hotness” in Trauma Care01:18 – The Joint Trauma System Audit That Started It All03:46 – Citrate in Every Blood Product – The Science Behind the Bind05:44 – Why We Actually Care: Cardiac Repolarization, Contractility & Vascular Tone08:49 – Hypocalcemia vs Hypercalcemia in Trauma Patients10:21 – Shocking New Data: Hypercalcemia Carries Higher Mortality13:14 – TCCC Guidelines – After First Unit?

A fidgety fuel problem, octane ratings, and water in the oil are on tap for this episode. Email podcasts@aopa.org for a chance to be on the show. Join the world's largest aviation community at aopa.org/join Full notes below: Gareth has a turbo Arrow and he's been fighting a problem with fluctuation fuel flow. Sometimes the engine quits on the ground or runs rough in the air. They've checked the fuel spider, fixed intake leaks, overhauled the fuel pump, an exhaust leak, and much more. Paul is convinced that air is entering the system or there is a vapor issue. He suggests checking the heat shields near hot parts of the engine, etc. Mike suggests that it could be related to upper deck pressure, which controls the aneroid in the fuel pump. Matt wonders if fuel octane impacts timing. He has a Cessna 150 and is running autogas, and he's wondering if his ignition timing should be changed to accommodate a difference in octane. Paul said the airplane was certified with 80 octane, so it's fine to keep the timing as it is. Scott is wondering about an alternative to safety wire. A company called Bergen makes a safety wire alternative and he's wondering if it's legal to use on FAA certified airplanes. Mike said even if the company doesn't say it's FAA certified that it would almost certainly be a minor alteration, and therefore at the discretion of the installing mechanic. Paul uses them in certain applications and likes them. Scott has a IO-540 on a Socata Trinidad and was about to overhaul his engine, but found Mike's maintenance philosophy. He's now at 2,300 hours and counting. Everything looks good except that water occasionally shows up in his oil analysis, and he's struck out finding help through his mechanic. The water is a byproduct of the combustion process. When you shut down the crankcase is full of steam, and that steam then condenses into water. You can help keep that water down by taking off the oil cap after shutting down, or by hooking up an engine dehumidifier. Scott flies about 100 hours a year evenly spread out, and he lives in a dry environment, so the hosts agree the dehumidifier probably isn't necessary.

Hide your kids and hide your wife for this very different episode of the World Saving Podcast (NSFW) In this one Andy & Nick Interview Vic Legina, a former producer and director in the adult entertainment industry. Vic detailed his 20-year tenure, 16 years with Brazzers, and transitioning the industry to the internet. He also goes into detail on the production process, shared his experiences with burnout, ethical challenges, and the impact of clickbait content. We also discussed the rise of platforms like OnlyFans and Chaturbate, the issue of age verification, and more.

https://spacescoop.org/en/scoops/2609/why-does-jupiter-have-bigger-moons-than-saturn/ Hosted by our editor, Richard Drumm. Jupiter and Saturn are the gas giants in our Solar System. Ummm… Uranus & Neptune are now called ice giants. But back to Jupiter & Saturn. They are the largest planets, have the most moons compared to the other planets, and if that isn't cool enough, they're home to some of the largest moons in the Solar System. Saturn has 280 or more moons in total, a total that seems to be changing daily. Jupiter has over 100 known moons so far.  As for me, I don't even try to keep count any more.   Here's where things get really interesting: Jupiter has four big moons, including Ganymede, the biggest one in the whole Solar System. Jupiter's Galilean moons from closest to farthest are Io, Europa, Ganymede & Callisto.    The first 3 are in a 1:2:4 orbital resonance with Io making 4 orbits, Europa 2 and Ganymede 1. It's been calculated that Ganymede & Callisto were in a 7:3 resonance a couple million years ago but are slipping toward a 6:3 which is a nice, stable 2:1 resonance. Callisto will likely fall into that resonance in a billion and a half years making the system 1:2:4:8. Nice & stable.   We've added a new way to donate to 365 Days of Astronomy to support editing, hosting, and production costs.  Just visit: https://www.patreon.com/365DaysOfAstronomy and donate as much as you can!
