Diferents entitats que defensen la llengua catalana a Catalunya Nord han alertat de la seva situació econòmica aquest 2025 i, en mesures diferents, han rebut suport econòmic del govern de la Generalitat de Catalunya, que per primera vegada compta amb una conselleria especialment dedicada a la llengua. Aquestes ajudes han arribat en un moment en el qual la preocupació creix a Catalunya Sud perquè les dades d'usos lingüístics van a la baixa, tot i que el nombre de parlants creix.

A falta de testimonios directos, la religión de los pueblos indoeuropeos se ha ido reconstruyendo a partir del análisis comparado de sus tradiciones mitológicas, lingüísticas y arqueológicas. En la segunda conferencia del ciclo "El origen indoeuroepo: lengua y religión", el profesor Eugenio R. Luján, catedrático de Lingüística Indoeuropea, analiza las principales vías de estudio de este campo. Además, se aproxima a las aportaciones de la paleontología lingüística y los nuevos hallazgos de la religiosidad popular que han aportado nuevas perspectivas a este antiguo legado espiritual.Más información de este acto

Se tiende a pensar que el término “lenguas indoeuropeas” obedece únicamente a una clasificación geográfica que abarca India y Europa. Sin embargo, existen distintos criterios de clasificación lingüística, siendo el más reconocido el genético. En la primera conferencia del ciclo "El origen indoeuropeo: lengua y religión", el profesor Juan Antonio Álvarez-Pedrosa, catedrático de Lingüística Indoeuropea, propone una aproximación a dicha denominación y al método científico utilizado para reconstruir este idioma ancestral.Más información de este acto

“If I had been enslaved for a year or two, I might not be able to believe in humanity any more.” “I am a victim of modern slavery.” These chilling words come from a Taiwanese female lured by a fake job offer, only to be sold into a scam compound in Cambodia. She is not alone. She is one of thousands deceived into this industry—people who left home hoping for a better life, only to find themselves trapped in a living nightmare. Scam: Inside Southeast Asia's Cybercrime Compounds (Verso Books, 2025) arrives at a critical moment, shedding light on one of the world's fastest-growing criminal economies: Southeast Asia's online scam industry. Running the gamut from the notorious “pig butchering” romance scams to elaborate online extortion and investment frauds, this system has transformed parts of the region into global hubs of cybercrime. Meticulously researched and grounded in years of fieldwork, Scam offers an unflinching look into the prison-like compounds that have mushroomed across multiple countries. Within these walled complexes, victims are often coerced into becoming perpetrators—trapped in what the authors describe as “compound capitalism,” a chilling hybrid of enslavement and exploitation. Scam traces how small-scale online gambling rings evolved into an international “scamdemic,” accelerated by the disruptions of COVID-19. It examines the “victim–offender trap”, a moral and psychological paradox that makes empathy difficult for outsiders. The result is a deeply human investigation into how modern slavery adapts to digital capitalism. The authors uncover the operations of scam compounds across Southeast Asia. In my interview with Ling and Ivan, what stood out was not only their depth of knowledge but their compassion. They used their skills to build trust with victims, gather evidence, and, in some cases, help orchestrate rescues. Their work is both rigorous and profoundly humane, illuminating a crisis that grows more complex each day. Though many of those involved—both perpetrators and victims—are ethnically Chinese, the networks now span continents. The scam compounds are a global phenomenon, built on economic desperation, weak governance, and digital interconnectivity. Scam is more than an exposé. It is a call to action and a vital first step toward understanding a new form of global exploitation—where modern technology and ancient cruelty combine to create a system that enslaves the vulnerable and profits from despair. Ling Li is pursuing a PhD at Ca' Foscari University of Venice with a focus on the role of technology in enabling modern slavery and human trafficking in East and Southeast Asia. In the past few years, she has been providing support to survivors of scam compounds in Southeast Asia, interacting with local and international civil society organisations to bring them relief and help with repatriation. Ivan Franceschini is a lecturer at the Asia Institute, University of Melbourne. His current research focuses on ethnic Chinese transnational crime, especially in the field of online fraud. He co-founded the Made in China Journal and The People's Map of Global China/ Global China Pulse. His books include Proletarian China (2022), Global China as Method (2022), and Afterlives of Chinese Communism (2019). He also co-directed the documentaries Dreamwork China (2011) and Boramey (2021). Mark Bo is a researcher who has been based in East and Southeast Asia for 2 decades. He has worked globally with local civil society partners to monitor and advocate for improved environmental and social practices in development projects and utilises his background in corporate and financial mapping to investigate stakeholders involved in Asia's online gambling, fraud, and money laundering industries. Bing Wang receives her PhD at the University of Leeds in 2020. Her research interests include the exploration of overseas Chinese cultural identity and critical heritage studies.

L'oficina de català de Sitges, del Centre de Normalització Lingüística de l'Alt Penedès i el Garraf, i la regidoria de promoció econòmica de l'Ajuntament, posaran en marxa el pla Ofercat que incidirà en l'ús del català en l'àmbit comercial a través d'accions formatives, informatives i de sensibilització. Tot plegat a partir d'un estudi que ha recollit les observacions fetes en més de 300 establiments comercials el darrer trimestre del 2024, i que conclou, entre d'altres dades, que el 23% de les persones que atenen el públic inicien la conversa en català, i fins a un 63% segueixen parlant-lo si els clients continuent mantenint la conversa. En canvi, el 35% continuen en castellà tot i que els clients hagin iniciat la conversa en català.

This week we look into the life of Norah Emily Editha Fornario, better known as Netta.  Her body was discovered wearing no more than a black cloak and a blackened silver cross lying atop a mound with a dagger shape carved into it.  The mound was what locals called a fairy hill and to this day, no one knows how her death came about.  We study her life, her fascination with psychic research and how she eventually became a member of the Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn.  We dig into what little is known about her life and what strange circumstances surround her death, in this wow so weird episode of the Family Plot Podcast.  (Thanks to the Darkcast Network for taking us onboard).Link to Dean's Book on Amazon: https://a.co/d/1yW8wDgBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/family-plot--4670465/support.

As our world becomes increasingly connected, we work with teams spanning continents, cultures, and contexts. What works brilliantly in one culture can completely miss the mark in another. For example, silence in a meeting might mean respect, not disengagement. Humility might be mistaken for a lack of leadership potential, and direct communication styles can either build trust or create distance, depending on who's listening. If you're ready to stop making assumptions and get curious about the people you lead and coach, this episode is for you. Join us!Dr. Ling Hua is an ICF-certified executive leadership coach and former global biotech executive.

In this episode of The Full Arch Podcast, Dr. Steven Vorholt sits down with Dr. Ryan Dunlop and Dr. Michael Ling to talk about what full arch sales look like in the modern era — where education, transparency, and trust drive conversions more than persuasion ever could. They explore how the best practices are rethinking sales systems, aligning teams, and creating patient experiences that build confidence from the very first call. This is the blueprint for how modern full arch doctors turn authenticity into results. Key Highlights: Education Over Persuasion – Today's patients are informed. The best way to “sell” is by teaching and helping them understand the why behind treatment. Sales as a System – Every touchpoint matters. Phones, coordinators, and doctors all play a role in creating trust and alignment. Confidence Converts – Believing in your value is what helps patients believe in their outcome.

Fresh out of the studio, Ling Hai, President of Asia Pacific, Europe, Middle East, and Africa at MasterCard, joins us to explore how payment networks are evolving to embrace stable coins, AI agents, and the future of digital commerce across diverse global markets. He shares his career journey from management consulting to retail banking and eventually to MasterCard. Ling Hai shares that MasterCard is a global technology company that creates interoperability and universal acceptance, with technology services like cybersecurity, data insights, and consulting increasingly contributing to revenue beyond traditional payment processing. He highlights compelling innovations from Asia Pacific leading the way, including Singapore's nationwide open loop transit system and MasterCard's approach to stable coins as settlement vehicles alongside traditional currencies, while emphasizing how the company bridges the DeFi universe with the physical merchant world through on-ramp and off-ramp solutions for crypto adoption in markets like Latin America. Closing the conversation, Ling Hai shares what great looks like for MasterCard to become the operating system of commerce and the digital economy.“MasterCard, in the end, is a global technology company. We run a global network, and we're very much a data company. So, in all of this, when we handle people's money and when we handle people's data, trust is the most important thing. If we lose that, we lose our business. For us, that trust factor is absolutely critical — it's embedded in everything we do.As the world evolves, we've gone from handling payments in the physical world, to e-commerce in the digital world. Tomorrow, with AI, it's going to be agentic — agents will be doing commerce for us. But the common thread across all of this is still safety, security, trust, and also ease of use.Today's consumer doesn't want to trade off between convenience and security — they want both. So when we think about our solutions and services, that's part of our design thinking. We must ensure they are easy, convenient, safe, secure, and trusted by everyone.” - Ling HaiEpisode Highlights:[00:00] Quote of the Day by Ling Hai[01:00] Introduction: Ling Hai[03:00] Overview of Mastercard and balancing global consistency with localization[06:00] MasterCard's vision: inclusive digital economy for everyone[09:13] Open loop transit leading digital payment adoption[11:14] Asia Pacific: most advanced multi-payment region globally[14:03] MasterCard is a global technology company focused on trust.[16:00] Stable coins create more use cases for MasterCard[20:38] Two universes: DeFi and traditional finance will coexist[21:07] Payment secret sauce: resolving disputes when things fail[24:00] Stable coins stronger for B2B, wholesale settlement use[25:38] Be at the table or you're on table[29:00] AI enables personalization beyond one-size-fits-all marketing[31:24] Agent commerce requires new rules and payment standards[32:23] Tokenization and authentication: no regret moves for future[34:16] MasterCard network supports real-time payments beyond cards[35:00] What does great look like:: Operating system of commerce and digital economy[36:00] ClosingProfile: Ling Hai, President of Asia Pacific, Europe, Middle East, and Africa, MastercardLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/ling-hai-a7952ab8/Podcast Information: Bernard Leong hosts and produces the show.

Bridget James Ling has built something incredible in just a few short years. She went from quitting her job in 2020, flying to Costa Rica, and barely affording a Funnel Hacking Live ticket… to leading Freedom Queen, a movement that now fills events with hundreds of women entrepreneurs. In this episode of The Russell Brunson Show, she walks through exactly how she made the shift from “just a coach” to a true movement leader, and why that shift changed everything. Key Highlights: How Bridget transformed her coaching business into Freedom Queen by building an identity and movement around her clients. The story of her first retreat in Costa Rica and how she sold a $12K offer that proved the power of movements. Why she believes movements scale faster than coaching, and how she shifted her marketing from “work with me” to “become a Freedom Queen.” The reality of online hate, how it almost broke her, and the mindset shift that made her stronger. Behind the scenes of filling her events with hundreds of women using affiliates, vision-casting, and status-driven incentives. Bridget's journey is proof that when you stop selling your time and start leading a movement, everything changes. Her story is inspiring, raw, and filled with lessons for anyone who feels called to lead. Whether you're building your first group program or planning to fill a stadium someday, the marketing and sales principles she shares will challenge and motivate you to think bigger. ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://sellingonline.com/podcast⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://clickfunnels.com/podcast⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Learn more about your ad choices.
