Entrevista Alfredo Kaplan - Presidente de la Asociación de Promotores Privados de la Construcción by En Perspectiva

Text me your thoughts or questions on this episode!In this Designers at Home episode, I tour the home of Jill Litner Kaplan, a Boston-area interior designer whose approach to decorating stopped me in my tracks — not because it's flashy or maximalist, but because of a single idea I couldn't stop thinking about after I left.  It's about how color palates emerge from storytelling as opposed to the "pop of color" advice that's been watered down into a band-aid solution. Subscribe to see and hear the full home tour with Jill — room by room, object by object — and a masterclass in what visual storytelling actually looks like in a home.

Türkiye'nin15 Temmuz darbe ve işgal girişiminden bu yana izlediği dış politika, “büyük devlet” politikası: Bölgenin her bir tarafı, her bir ülkesi ve hatta her bir karışı ateş altında inim inim inlerken, Türkiye, bölgede istikrar, huzur ve barış adası olmayı başardı.

Kıbrıs Rum Kesimi Dışişleri Bakanı Costantinos Kombos, X hesabından dün (Perşembe günü) saat 11.02'de şu tweeti attı: “Orta Asya'daki gezim çerçevesinde, bugün Kazakistan'dan Tacikistan'a geçiyorum; orada @PresidentCYP @Christodulides'i resmi ziyaretinde eşlik etmiştim. Ardından Özbekistan'a ve Kırgızistan'a gideceğim. Orta Asya'daki gezimin amacı, ikili ilişkileri güçlendirmek ve Kıbrıs'ın, giderek artan jeostratejik öneme sahip bu bölgeyle iş birliğini genişletmektir.”

Ačkoliv se narodil do kazatelské rodiny, vystudoval původně psychologii. „Jako dítě mě lákalo být kazatelem, v pubertě už jsem ale chtěl jít jiným směrem,“ říká. Nakonec dostal nabídku stát se kazatelem v roce 2017 a po pečlivé úvaze ji přijal. „Ovlivní to totiž celou rodinu,“ dodává Fürst.

On this week's AIPT Comics Podcast, we're joined by writer Zack Kaplan to talk about two ambitious new projects that tap into some of today's biggest anxieties. First up is Only the Savage Are Left, Kaplan's new post-apocalyptic series with Stefano Raffaele, which imagines a world overrun by a virus that transforms people into monsters. During the conversation, Kaplan digs into the moral dilemmas at the heart of the series, the challenge of creating a new kind of monster apocalypse, and why the story's central romance is just as important as its horror. We also discuss The Smart Division, his upcoming AI-driven crime thriller with John Pearson, exploring how rapidly advancing technology, generational divides, and questions about institutional trust shaped the book's premise. Visit our Patreon page to see the various tiers you can sign up for today to get in on the ground floor of AIPT Patreon. We hope to see you chatting with us on our Discord soon!

What was the starting point for the virus concept, and how did you land on the idea that the “cure” is tied to killing another infected person? There's an early suggestion in the book that civilization didn't collapse because people failed to work together, but because they turned on each other. How much of this story is meant to reflect real-world anxieties about how fragile social order really is? You've described the idea that “civilized society is a failed experiment.” How does that philosophy shape Ryder's journey, especially as someone who begins the story outside that cycle of violence? Ryder starts off relatively sheltered, living behind a wall and seemingly untouched by the infection. What interested you about telling a story through a character who hasn't yet been forced to compromise his morality? The relationship that pulls Ryder out into the world feels central to the emotional core of the book. How did you approach balancing that love story with the brutality of the setting? Without spoiling too much, how does the virus actually work on a thematic level? Is it purely biological, or is it also meant to represent something more psychological or societal? As Ryder encounters other survivors and “monster-killers,” how do you approach defining who the real monsters are in this world? Shifting to The Smart Division, the idea of an AI being involved in a “perfect murder” is chillingly plausible. What kind of real-world advancements in AI or predictive tech inspired this story? The pairing of a Gen-Z savant and a veteran FBI agent feels like a classic odd-couple dynamic. What makes that contrast especially interesting in a story about artificial intelligence and crime? Fun one: if you had to survive in the world of Only the Savage Are Left, what's your strategy in the first 24 hours… and are you making it out alive?

Theoretical physicist Stephon Alexander was 12 years old when his father bought him a saxophone at a garage sale near their home in the Bronx, New York. Soon after he heard Ornette Coleman, a pioneer of free jazz, on the radio. “There was this saxophone playing that was completely out there, completely wild,” he recalls. “You could just play whatever you want and make up whatever you want.” Alexander, a jazz saxophonist who now directs the Brown University Center for Theoretical Physics and Innovation, in Providence, Rhode Island, says: “I would not be the physicist I am today if weren't for my practice as a musician, especially as an improvisational musician.” He credits it for making him “more fluid and flexible mentally in terms of approaching and attacking physics problems,” some of which he ponders while watching performances in New York jazz clubs. In the final episode of Creativity in Science, a six-part podcast series, Alexander also lists his former high school physics teacher Daniel Kaplan as a key influence. He says that Kaplan, a professionally-trained jazz musician, taught him that “intuition is the lifeblood of a good physicist.” Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Ref.: Pfr. Markus Polders, Kaplan der Werke des Malteserordens in Deutschland, Neuss Viele Christen weltweit finden den Weg zu Gott am leichtesten über Maria. Gerade im Marienmonat Mai drücken sie ihre Liebe zu der stillen und hörenden Mutter Jesu aus, die auch in der schwersten Stunde ihres Lebens aufrecht unter dem Kreuz stand. Pfarrer Markus Polders ist im Marienwallfahrtsort Kevelaer aufgewachsen, hat in Lourdes seine Priesterberufung empfangen und ungezählte Pilgerzüge zu dem Marienerscheinungsort am Fuß der Pyrenäen begleitet. In der Lebenshilfe sprechen wir mit dem Kaplan der Werke des Malteserordens in Deutschland darüber, warum Maria gerade in Leid und Bedrängnis so vielen Menschen Halt schenkt.

Kaplan: Restless Soul," delves deep into the fascinating contradictions that drove one of twentieth-century Judaism's leading luminaries to create a new way of looking at an old faith by "reconstructing" it.

Sometimes the most powerful stories begin with a simple question: Who are you, and where have you been? For journalist Melanie D.G. Kaplan, that question came after adopting her beagle, Hammy a gentle dog who had spent nearly four years inside a research laboratory. What started as curiosity about one dog's past quickly opened the door to a much larger and more complicated world one where millions of animals are still used each year in research, testing, and education. In her book, Lab Dog: A Beagle and His Human Investigate the Surprising World of Animal Research, Kaplan takes us behind laboratory doors, introducing us to the people on all sides of this issue researchers, activists, veterinarians, and lawmakers while also piecing together the story of Hammy himself. It's part investigation… part love story… and ultimately, a thoughtful look at the relationship between humans and the animals we both cherish and rely on.

In this episode of Biographers in Conversation, Hester Kaplan chats with Dr Gabriella Kelly-Davies about Twice Born: Finding My Father In the Margins of Biography. Here's what you'll discover in this episode:  The catalyst for crafting Twice Born was the death of Hester's father, the biographer Justin Kaplan. Hester realised she had lost the chance to ask her father the questions that had always eluded her during his lifetime. Rather than being a conventional biography, Twice Born blends biography, memoir, and fiction, a structure Kaplan chose deliberately to view her father from many different angles and points of view, enabling her to know him in ways impossible while he was alive. Kaplan discovered that her father chose Mark Twain as his biographical subject because of deep personal parallels that included an early loss of parents, a traumatic childhood and an identity reinvented through writing. Hester insists that biographers inevitably choose subjects who mirror their own inner lives. Kaplan reflects on how memory and fiction blur once put on the page. Because Justin Kaplan always wrote behind closed study doors, his daughter uses fiction to imaginatively enter that space and reconstruct his writing process.

In 2021, Judge Lewis A. Kaplan of the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York allowed Virginia Giuffre's civil lawsuit against Prince Andrew to proceed, rejecting the Duke's attempts to have the case dismissed. Andrew's legal team had argued that Giuffre's 2009 settlement agreement with Jeffrey Epstein protected him from liability, but Kaplan ruled that the document's language was too vague to guarantee immunity for the prince. The judge also rejected efforts by Andrew's attorneys to delay proceedings or challenge jurisdiction, stating that service had been properly carried out and that the court had the authority to move forward.Throughout the pretrial stages, Judge Kaplan issued several pointed warnings to Andrew's legal team, cautioning them against what he saw as stalling and procedural gamesmanship. At one point, he rebuked their reliance on “technical arguments” instead of addressing the substantive claims, making it clear he would not tolerate obstruction. His firm handling of the case underscored that no one, royal or otherwise, was above the law. Ultimately, the case never went to trial—Prince Andrew settled with Giuffre in early 2022—but Kaplan's rulings were pivotal in ensuring that the lawsuit could not be quietly swept aside.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-epstein-chronicles--5003294/support.

The US economy looks great on paper: high GDP, low unemployment, and booming markets. So why does it feel like the system is broken for so many people? To unpack the disconnect between macroeconomic data and everyday financial anxiety, we're joined by Chicago Booth professor Steve Kaplan. A staunch defender of the free market, Kaplan argues that despite our collective pessimism, American capitalism is actually delivering unprecedented prosperity. Are we just looking at the data wrong, or is the market failing us? From the staggering costs of the US healthcare system to the lasting scars of the China labor shock, we debate the deepest fractures in our modern economic framework. Recorded alongside the Stigler Center's economic conference "Can Capitalism Be Popular?" the conversation covers how to actually measure an economic system, the U.S. vs. Europe debate, the opioid crisis, health care lock-in, teachers' unions, UBI, and the core tension of the whole show: if capitalism is working, why doesn't it feel that way?

Heavy reliance on customer reviews, staff morale, and brand reputation. Industry themes include: Rising labour and food costs Low consumer confidence Staffing shortages Cost‑of‑living pressures   Strengths and Risks in the Pre‑Seen: Positives Strong revenue and gross margin growth (outperforming the market) Healthy cash position and working capital Loyal customer base and sustainability credentials Standardised menus and processes   Strengths and Risks in the Pre‑Seen: Risks & Weaknesses Declining customer reviews High staff turnover and morale concerns High fixed‑cost base Dependence on single suppliers Potential over‑expansion risks   Expansion & Strategic Decisions Potential exam‑relevant initiatives discussed in the pre‑seen included: Opening new restaurants Launching a ghost kitchen Developing a branded dips product line Entering a new foreign market Exploring AI and digital ordering technology The move from B2C to B2B activities is highlighted as a significant operational and financial risk area that candidates should prepare to address.   Exam Focus: Core Activities Breakdown Alex walks through all six OCS core activities, highlighting what candidates should expect and where SOPA‑specific issues may arise: Core Activity A – Costing Marginal costing vs absorption costing New syllabus focus: Environmental and quality costing Digital vs traditional costing (apps, online ordering, IT support costs) Cost of quality (prevention, appraisal, internal & external failure) Core Activity B – Budgeting & Forecasting Incremental vs zero‑based budgeting (ZBB) Forecasting and seasonal trends Rolling budgets and beyond budgeting Importance of clearly explaining ZBB steps Core Activity C – Performance Management KPIs (occupancy rates, sustainability, quality, staff metrics) Variance analysis (including mix variances) Use of attachments and data in answers Core Activity D – Accounting & Reporting Reduced weighting but still examinable PPE decisions (buy vs lease) Inventory valuation (IAS 2) Capitalisation and depreciation Implications of sustainability investments (e.g. vertical farming) Core Activity E – Decision Making Relevant and incremental cash flows Outsourcing vs in‑house production (dips, ghost kitchen) Decision trees and expected values Linear programming and constraints Weighted average benefit analysis Core Activity F – Risk & Working Capital Inventory management (EOQ vs JIT) Working capital cycle (negative cycle at SOPA) Receivables emergence from B2B expansion Factoring and invoice discounting Cash surplus management and over‑trading risks How the Exam Is Marked Alex explains CIMA's four assessment pillars: Technical understanding Communication & professional tone Use of information provided (attachments) Application to the scenario   Key advice Refer to SOPA frequently — name the company, people, products, and locations. Use clear sub‑headings and structured answers. Justify recommendations clearly. Use planning time effectively. No calculations required — focus on explanation and application. Exam Tips & Final Advice Expect questions around ghost kitchens, expansion, and B2B risks Practice with mock exams and review model answers Focus on structure, relevance, and professionalism Remember: you must advise SOPA, not write generic theory Useful Links Finance Leadership Program: https://enroll.cgma.org CGMA Hub with Case Study Resources & Mock Exams Thanks for listening.

(It'll all become clear in the episode.) We discuss the ethical implications of AI in enhancing human capabilities versus diminishing them, particularly for students. We also delve into the relationship between Freudian language theory and modern AI. Despite its current limitations, there's also a very interesting potential for AI use in historical martial arts research, where we could use it to provide new insights without modern biases. Don't worry, there'll be plenty of swordy stuff mixed in with the AI! Marc is also a practicing historical martial artist, and we connected over Capoferro's theory of tempo.

Sermon by Rabbi Rabbi Andrew Kaplan Mandel, "The Discipline of Discernment" April 17, 2026

Muckraking journalist Jessica Mitford and her 5 sisters – two of whom were intimate friends with Hitler – were global celebrities during the early and mid-20th century, known for their colorful personal lives and political differences. Born a British aristocrat like her sisters, Jessica Mitford rejected her upbringing at an early age, eventually moving to America, where she became a communist, civil rights activist, and bestselling author. Northeastern University literature professor Carla Kaplan, our guest this week, tells Jessica Mitford's story in her book, "Troublemaker." Learn more about your ad choices.

April showers are fun, especially after winter snowstorms. Fortunately, we've thawed out a whole mess of episodes for you to enjoy this month including our latest grab bag. But what about the themed episodes? Glad you asked! First, we'll be talking all about relapse which includes discussions of resurgence and renewal (see, aren't you glad you're learning about this?). Then we're joined by Armando Bernal to discuss how PECS could be a key component of building up our support of assent practices. Finally we get real and talk about peer mediation. The kind where children support skill acquisition of their with cues and praise. Not the other one. That'll get its own episode someday. All that and a new LISTENER POLL!

Science progresses through breakthrough discoveries, but behind many of the field's greatest advancements lies a darker history of scientific dysfunction—hostile competition, information hoarding, and criticism that has silenced revolutionary thinkers. From Alexander Gordon being forced to flee Aberdeen after proving doctors spread deadly infections, to Ignaz Semmelweis being fired and exiled for insisting doctors wash their hands between autopsies and deliveries, brilliant scientists have paid devastating personal prices for challenging medical orthodoxies. The pattern repeats across centuries: Pierre Louis was attacked for using statistics to prove bloodletting was useless, Joseph Lister faced ridicule for suggesting "invisible germs" caused infections, and Jean Toussaint suffered a nervous breakdown after Louis Pasteur appropriated his anthrax vaccine discovery. These cautionary tales reveal how the scientific community often becomes so attached to established paradigms that it rejects—or even destroys—those who dare to question consensus, no matter how strong their evidence. Today's guest is Matt Kaplan, author of “I Told You So!: Scientists Who Were Ridiculed, Exiled, and Imprisoned for Being Right.” He has spent two decades observing dysfunction across all scientific disciplines and now calls for fundamental reform in his book "I Told You So!" He argues that personality and social connections are weighted too heavily over actual ideas and skill, with good scientists losing grants and promotions simply because they lack charisma or fail to make the right political connections. Kaplan explores how even paleontology has its bullies, pointing to cases like Alison Moyer's discovery of organic material in dinosaur bones being met with hostility for challenging established orthodoxies. Through these stories of scientists who were ultimately vindicated—from Gordon's germ theory to Semmelweis's handwashing protocols—we see how science advances faster when contrarians are allowed to have their say and when the community prioritizes rigorous debate over comfortable consensus.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
