Margherita Pelaja"Le donne di piazza del fico"Edizioni Piemmewww.edizpiemme.itRoma, 1864. Luisa Stecca aiuta le donne dei rioni in una città ancora governata dal potere papale, tra vicoli polverosi, conventi, botteghe e un'umanità che sopravvive come può. Assiste gravidanze spesso clandestine e accoglie ragazze e madri di famiglia a casa sua, in piazza del Fico. Tra queste donne c'è Angela Carbone. Nata da una famiglia sfortunata, è una ragazza decisa a uscire dalla povertà che la soffoca. Con l'aiuto della sorella, Gertrude, e di una non convinta Luisa, ordisce un inganno perfetto: finge una gravidanza per legarsi al ricco cavaliere Armando Bachino, e quando nasce il figlio di Amalia, una giovane abbandonata a sé stessa, lo fa passare come suo. Ma la verità è una forza che scava e chiede di essere ascoltata. Attorno al piccolo Armando si creano tensioni, affetti, recriminazioni: la madre naturale lo rivuole, la madre adottiva lo difende, il cavaliere si scopre tradito ma incapace di rinunciare a quel bambino. E mentre Roma si avvicina alla caduta del potere temporale del Papa, anche le illusioni di Angela iniziano a sgretolarsi. Tra confessioni, rivelazioni e un vero processo, si dipana una storia di donne ferite ma ostinate, di maternità negate e inventate. Attraverso la combinazione brillante di avvenimenti realmente accaduti e documentati negli archivi ecclesiastici, Margherita Pelaja pone domande attuali sul significato di parole come famiglia, amore, appartenenza. Le donne di piazza del Fico racconta un passato lontano e riesce nel miracolo di costruire una voce urgente, elegante e attuale.Margherita PelajaHa svolto ricerche negli ambiti della storia delle donne e della storia della sessualità, pubblicando numerosi saggi e monografie.

Un ultimo viaggio, insieme. ✨Nell'episodio finale di Spazi di Parole, il nostro podcast più longevo, Valentina e Margherita si guardano indietro e rivivono ogni passo fatto: dalla costruzione del progetto, alla messa in onda, fino alla scelta di ogni argomento che ci ha accompagnati nel tempo.Un episodio che è memoria, emozione, gratitudine.Grazie a chi ci ha ascoltato, sentito, vissuto. Grazie ragazze.Le parole restano.

El Placer de Viajar nos lleva esta semana a dos destinos muy diferentes pero con la gastronomía como punto en común: Nápoles y la provincia de Huelva. Carmelo Jordá y Kelu Robles presentan en este nuevo episodio de El placer de viajar dos destinos completamente diferentes y bastante lejanos, pero unidos por una característica común: su excelente gastronomía. El programa empieza con Kelu Robles haciendo un entusiasmado recorrido por la cautivadora Nápoles, de la que además se recuerda su profundo vínculo histórico con España desde el reinado de Alfonso V de Aragón. La ciudad se revela como un escenario scugnizzo y caótico, donde la vida se despliega intensamente en arterias como Spaccanapoli y la comercial Vía Toledo, todo bajo la atenta y amenazante mirada del Vesubio. El itinerario explora los Quartieri Spagnoli, donde el fervor por Diego Maradona alcanza tintes de culto a la divinidad en sus altares y murales. Entre la religiosidad de San Gennaro y el arte del Cristo Velato, una escultura de inmensa belleza obra del artista Giuseppe Sanmartino y que ha sido una pieza clave en la historia del arte. Por supuesto, capítulo aparte y destacado merece la excursión a Pompeya, una alucinante cápsula del tiempo que permite revivir la antigua Roma a través de sus ruinas conservadas por la ceniza. Además, también se comenta uno de los atractivos de la ciudad: la oferta de una gastronomía inigualable basada sobre todo en la salsa de tomate que se puede, y se debe, disfrutar sobre todo en la sencilla pero insuperable pizza Margherita. Sin olvidar el café que también es casi un objeto de culto. En su segunda mitad el episodio cuenta con la intervención de Alfredo García Reyes, uno de los periodistas de viajes y gastronómicos más importantes de España, que nos acompaña en un recorrido también centrado en la gastronomía, por la provincia de Huelva, un destino espectacular desde cualquier punto de vista, pero especialmente desde el de la buena mesa. El recorrido empieza por la Sierra de Aracena que destaca como un destino de excelencia donde el gran protagonista es, por supuesto, el jamón de la DOP Jabugo, un baluarte de la marca España cuya elaboración artesanal y respeto por la dehesa garantizan un producto de calidad suprema, tal como se aprecia en firmas legendarias como Cinco Jotas. García Reyes explica las posibilidades no sólo gastronómicas sino también turísticas del producto, al que el viajero se puede acercar para conocer el territorio, la producción y las bodegas en las que se elabora esa joya. Bodegas también como otras en las que se elabora un caldo muy especial: el brandy Luis Felipe, una auténtica delicia muy especial y que alcanza precios de miles de euros por botella. Finalmente, el viaje concluye en el litoral onubense, visitando la lonja de Isla Cristina para disfrutar de tesoros marinos como la gamba blanca. Un recorrido en barco por el litoral y las marismas y la visita a una conservera son algunas de las actividades que se proponen para conocer mejor el lugar y sus productos, concluyendo con la recomendación de un lugar muy especial, el chiringuito La Sonrisa, Beach Club en Punta del Moral, un broche perfecto para ese recorrido por una provincia que quizá no está en la agenda viajera de todos, pero que es una muestra perfecta de esos lugares donde el paisaje y la gastronomía se funden en una oferta turística de primer nivel. Escríbenos, explícanos qué te gusta más y si hay algo que no te gusta tanto de El Placer de Viajar, dinos de qué destinos quieres que hablemos y si quieres que tratemos algún tema y, por supuesto, pregúntanos lo que quieras en el correo del programa: elplacerdeviajar@libertaddigital.com.

Livio Gambarini"La ribelle di Dio"Le cronache dei ViscontiEdizioni Piemmewww.edizpiemme.itA.D. 1302. Margherita da Arco sogna una fede pura, ma scopre ben presto che la Chiesa di papa Bonifacio VIII è fatta più di catene che di ideali. Il suo incontro con fra Dolcino, predicatore rivoluzionario che tratta le donne proprio come gli uomini e ha il coraggio di puntare il dito contro chi usa Dio solo per giustificare le proprie brame, è destinato a scuotere la Cristianità intera. Mentre gli Apostoli di Margherita e Dolcino guadagnano adepti e potere, l'esiliato Matteo Visconti vaga tra le corti lombarde e gli accampamenti militari, schiacciato dal ricordo del rogo che gli ha strappato l'amore. Ferito e ridotto all'ombra di sé stesso, interrogherà un templare sospettato di praticare arti proibite, alla ricerca di risposte che potrebbero costargli la scomunica. In un intreccio di eresie e passioni, di battaglie e visioni mistiche, La ribelle di Dio porta il lettore nel cuore della Lombardia medievale, dove il destino di un popolo si gioca tra fede e violenza, amori impossibili e rivalità senza tregua. Livio Gambarini torna al romanzo storico e continua la grande narrazione inaugurata con La papessa di Milano. Un progetto ambizioso, animato da un autore capace di unire una strepitosa attenzione allo studio delle fonti a una scrittura di chiarezza e precisione non comuni, che trasporta il lettore nei palazzi di potere del passato tra intrighi, amori brucianti e battaglie.Livio GambariniBergamasco classe 1986, è scrittore e divulgatore di Medioevo italiano. Da anni insegna narratologia e tecniche di scrittura in corsi, seminari e sessioni di mentorship; fondatore della realtà per aspiranti scrittori di "Rotte Narrative", è docente al corso di Alta Formazione "Il Piacere della Scrittura" dell'Università Cattolica di Milano. Già noto per Eternal War, la sua saga fantasy-storica su Dante e Guido Cavalcanti, tra i suoi altri interessi figurano la narrazione di GDR e videogiochi.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/

Vodafone's chief executive, Margherita Della Valle, highlights the growing risks to Europe's submarine cables, and calls for international cooperation to ensure the security and resilience of digital infrastructure. Addressing the recent threats posed by Russia, she calls for cross-border collaboration, and the implications for national and European security. Discussing the impact of the merger with Three, Della Valle examines the UK's persistent “not spots”—areas with little or no mobile coverage—and the company's commitment to eliminating these gaps through an £11billion pound investment. Della Valle also notes that Vodafone is set to launch a rival to Elon Musk's Starlink in 2026, providing total broadband coverage to the UK via satellite to standard mobile phones. Launching this first in the UK, she says you will even be able to get the internet at sea and in the most remote parts of the UK.The demands of artificial intelligence on telecoms infrastructure are also addressed, with Della Valle acknowledging that while progress has been made, the UK's mobile networks are not yet fully prepared to support the scale and speed required for widespread AI adoption.The interview also addresses the reduction in the number of female chief executives in the FTSE 100, and the ongoing challenges faced by women in senior roles, with 00:00 Sean Farrington and Will Bain introduce BBI 02:04 Start of Interview with Margherita & early days at Vodafone 07:56 Impact of the UK merger with Three 09:29 Eliminating Not Spots in the UK 11:12 Satellite Technology & competition to Elon Musk's Starlink 19:00 Infrastructure for mobile use of AI is not there yet. 26 - Female FTSE CEOs 34 - the need to work closer with Europe on sea-cable/telecoms security co-operationPresenter: Will Bain Producer: Olie D'Albertanson Editor: Henry Jones

Elfriede GaengLe avventure di Olimpia e del riccio Fritz 2Carabba Editore, LancianoSe nella prima storia l'autrice ha affrontato con successo il delicato tema del bullismo, in questa seconda avventura a fare da sottofondo sono la diversità e la discriminazione. Argomenti altrettanto rilevanti.Stavolta Olimpia e il riccio Fritz decidono di esplorare la magnifica Villa rinascimentale che si trova tra il giardino all'italiana e il labirinto. Da Bernardo e Gottardo, i due orsetti di bosso, vengono a sapere che lì vive Arlo, il figlio di Nikolaus, con la moglie Margherita e due figli, Astro e Stella. I quattro passeri e Rosso, lo scoiattolo, aggiungono altre informazioni. È in atto un incantesimo all'interno della Villa. L'elfo Grigio, il consigliere di Oscuro, che in cambio di un sontuoso pranzo a settimana protegge la famiglia di Arlo dagli elfi neri, ha fermato il tempo. Gullit, il figlio della fata Smeraldina, un folletto simpatico, intelligente, ma molto permaloso, ne è involontariamente la causa... Tra furti, incantesimi, specchi magici, dolci succulenti, cioccolata portentosa, scontri di ogni genere e saggi maghi, succederà di tutto.Ma sarà la Regina Amber a fare la differenza, deciderà che la festa per la liberazione della Villa si terrà solo dopo la scelta che avrà maturato l'elfo Grigio. Scelta che si rivelerà molto coraggiosa e sorprenderà tutti.Rimarrà come è nato: Grigio, diverso da tutti gli altri elfi; non amando né i Bianchi, certi di essere sempre nel giusto, né i Neri per svariate altre ragioni. Non bisogna mai cambiare se stessi per piacere agli altri. Solo restando Grigio sarà in grado di capire le ragioni degli uni e degli altri.Amber apprezzerà il suo coraggio e lo nominerà giudice del regno. Olimpia e il riccio Fritz, proclamati eroi del bosco, capiranno quanto sia importante scegliere nella vita e come la diversità sia un valore e vada accettata in quanto tale. Elfride Gaeng vive e lavora a Roma, regista e sceneggiatrice per il cinema e la fiction Tv. Ha diretto il lungometraggio “Blu elettrico”, protagonista Claudia Cardinale. Ha prodotto e diretto  numerosi documentari per Rai3.

Giuseppe Culicchia"Radici"Il festival dell'identità(coltivata, negata, ritrovata"Circolo dei Lettoriwww.circololettori.itA Torino apre Radici: voci e pensieri per chiederci chi siamo e interrogarci sul nostro rapporto con il mondoL'omaggio a Claudia Cardinale poi tante voci tra letteratura, arti e pensieri: David Grossman, Fernando Aramburu, Judith Koelemeijer, Milo Manara, Francesco Piccolo, Emanuele Trevi, Nadia Terranova, Vivian Lamarque, Mauro Covacich, Luciano Lanna, Silvia Ballestra, Caterina d'Amico, Valeria Parrella, Lucio Caracciolo, Massimo Polidoro, Pietrangelo Buttafuoco, Massimo Zamboni, Alessandro Aresu, Annalisa Terranova… Radici, il festival dell'identità (coltivata, negata, ritrovata) apre a Torino e torna a interrogarsi sul tema dell'identità e sul nostro rapporto con noi stessi e con l'Altro da noi. Alla luce di ciò che accade intorno a noi, in un mondo che sembra accelerare verso un cambiamento profondo e radicale di ciò che conoscevamo – e spesso davamo per scontato – un cambiamento che investe ogni ambito, dalla geopolitica alla sessualità, dalla religione al linguaggio, Radici inaugura la 3. edizione.  Il festival è un progetto della Fondazione Circolo dei lettori a cura di Giuseppe Culicchia con il contributo della Regione Piemonte-Assessorato Regionale all'Emigrazione; Radici è in programma da questo giovedì fino a domenica, 13-16 novembre, tra il Circolo dei lettori e delle lettrici e il Cinema Romano. Dopo il successo delle precedenti edizioni, il programma propone una nuova serie di incontri, lezioni e spettacoli che affrontano il tema dell'identità — individuale e collettiva — e della memoria, in un contesto sociale sempre più complesso. Attraverso grandi voci e opere, Radici indaga come i cambiamenti culturali abbiano trasformato la nostra percezione del sé, invitando a riflettere sulla consapevolezza della propria individualità e del mondo.  Il programma, da giovedì 13 a domenica 16 novembre Radici prende il via al Circolo  dei lettori e delle lettrici giovedì 13 novembre con l'incontro I Musei regionali dell'Emigrazione piemontese: Frossasco e Santa Maria Maggiore (h 16), con Piemontesi nel Mondo, Ugo Bertello, Davide Rosso, Claudio Cottini, Rosanna Napoli, Chiara Monferrini, Joaquin Coniglio e Alfons J.

Margherita, 26 anni, cresce a Cutrofiano in una famiglia dove i soldi “non mancano” ma si nominano a bassa voce. Dal padre, ingegnere informatico salito per gradi dalle radici contadine, eredita una bussola severa: ogni spesa è una responsabilità. «Per molti spendere è libertà o espressione. Io invece—anche da bambina—ci pensavo mille volte prima di farlo». Studia Economia a Ferrara, si laurea con il massimo dei voti, poi la magistrale in Marketing a Torino: sempre in pari, mai un “colpo a vuoto”. In testa, un obiettivo chiaro: far sì che le spese sostenute dai genitori durino il meno possibile.Poi, finita l'università, la promessa del merito si sgonfia. «Avevo già dato tutto nello studio. Ero pronta a mostrare ciò che avevo imparato e a diventare indipendente. Ma non è stato così semplice». Torna in Puglia, torna in famiglia, torna l'ansia di “pesare”. I dati lo confermano: a due anni dal titolo, la disoccupazione tra i neolaureati resta intorno al 9–11%. «Non si parla abbastanza di quanto sia difficile il passaggio dall'università al lavoro», dice. Dopo centinaia di candidature, trova un posto nel marketing: prima stage da 700 euro al mese, poi apprendistato triennale da 1.200. I conti tornano perché vive a Gallipoli in una casa dei genitori, ma il lavoro non è quello che immaginava: «Mi sentivo regredita sotto ogni punto di vista… Non era la carriera da film che avevo pensato».L'overqualification logora fiducia e portafogli. Finché il padre le suggerisce ciò che lei non avrebbe osato: un master. Margherita fa i conti e capisce che con i risparmi dei primi due anni può coprire l'affitto a Roma, mentre per la retta ricorre a un prestito d'onore.È l'ennesima spesa “per studiare”, ma anche un tentativo di riallineare desideri e realtà, paura e ambizione. «Mi sento in colpa, ma sapere che i miei non stanno sacrificando nulla mi alleggerisce. Se dovesse andare male, ho tutta la vita per poter recuperare i soldi spesi». La sua storia parla di una generazione che paga—in tempo e denaro—il pedaggio tra laurea e lavoro. Dove l'educazione all'autonomia è anche imparare quando investire ancora su di sé.

Libby comes home with a project to do and is very excited to get started. She tells Margherita all about it, then puts on her headphones and gets to work. Mom is surprised when she comes into her room to see what she is doing. Libby can't hear her mom until she taps her on the shoulder, and then they chat about her project. After dinner, Libby wants to get back up to her room to finish up, but when she gets there, a surprise awaits her. ✔️ Perfect for ages 4+ Sleep Tight!, Sheryl & Clark ❤️

When Libby and her mom carve jack-o'-lanterns for Halloween, Margherita the pizza-loving cat seems unusually interested in their pumpkin seeds. The next morning, pumpkins all over the neighbourhood have been mysteriously ransacked, and the evidence points to an unlikely culprit. Now Libby has to figure out what happened, apologize to the neighbors, and make things right. ✔️ Perfect for ages 4+ ✔️ Themes: Problem-solving • Taking responsibility • Community kindness • Pets and their quirks • Halloween fun  Sleep Tight!, Sheryl & Clark ❤️

Cristina Comencini"L'epoca felice"Feltrinelli Editorewww.feltrinellieditore.itRosa sa di avere un vuoto nella memoria, un lungo intervallo di tempo che segna con una riga netta la fine della sua adolescenza: la ragazzina vitale, inquieta, fantasiosa è diventata una giovane diligente e fin troppo responsabile. Quei mesi – persi, cancellati – sono gli stessi in cui i genitori, spaventati dalla sua esuberanza e dai cattivi risultati a scuola, l'avevano ricoverata in una clinica del sonno, come usava negli anni settanta.Ora che Rosa è una donna matura, dopo anni trascorsi all'estero in missioni umanitarie, rientra in Italia. Ed ecco che il tempo perduto si riaffaccia da una vecchia fotografia che la ritrae durante una gita in montagna. Da quello scatto, i suoi quindici anni cocciuti e felici la interrogano: dov'è finita la ragazzina che preoccupava tanto i genitori, ormai scomparsi, e che adesso a lei sembra la parte più autentica e vitale di sé? E chi è il ragazzo che ha scattato quella fotografia, perché sente che c'è con lui qualcosa da recuperare, un sentimento da trarre in salvo dall'oblio? Per ricomporre la sua vita spezzata e recuperare il passato, Rosa ha bisogno delle sorelle: Margherita, la maggiore, che quella gita la ricorda bene, e Viola, la più giovane, pronta a scardinare insieme a lei segreti e silenzi di famiglia.È difficile rappresentare il momento fuggevole della felicità, ma Cristina Comencini ci riesce, incastonandola come un prisma nel tempo dell'adolescenza, delle sue turbolenze emotive, dei suoi saliscendi spiazzanti, abbaglianti.L'adolescenza è l'ultima occasione. Se non capiamo cosa ci è successo in quegli anni, rifacciamo continuamente gli stessi errori.Cristina Comencini nasce a Roma nel 1956. Figlia del regista Luigi Comencini e madre di Carlo, Giulia e Luigi, esordisce al cinema come attrice nel 1969, diretta dal padre in Infanzia, vocazione e prime esperienze di Giacomo Casanova, veneziano, accanto a Tina Aumont e Maria Grazia Buccella. Laureata in Economia e Commercio con Federico Caffè, lavora per alcuni anni come giornalista economica e ricercatrice. Inizia la carriera di scrittrice nel cinema sceneggiando insieme al padre il film TV Il matrimonio di Caterina (1982) e il lungometraggio Buon Natale... Buon anno del 1989; è co-sceneggiatrice di Ennio De Concini in Quattro storie di donne (1986) e autrice insieme a Suso Cecchi D'Amico dei televisivi Cuore e La Storia, entrambi diretti dal padre.Nel 1988 esordisce alla regia con una fiaba lieve e aggraziata, Zoo, cui fanno seguito l'ambizioso ed elegante I divertimenti della vita privata (1990), il criptico e sinuoso La fine è nota (1992, tratto dal romanzo omonimo di Geoffrey Holliday Hall), il fortunato Matrimoni (1998) e successivamente Liberate i pesci con Michele Placido e Laura Morante, passando nel 1995 per la trascrizione in immagini del celebrato bestseller di Susanna Tamaro Va' dove ti porta il cuore. Del 2005 è La bestia nel cuore, pellicola nominata all'Oscar come miglior film straniero e premiata al Festival del Cinema di Venezia con la Coppa Volpi per l'interprete femminile protagonista, Giovanna Mezzogiorno. Nel gennaio 2008 Cristina Comencini è tornata al cinema con Bianco e nero, commedia e storia d'amore appassionato tra un giovane uomo italiano senza grandi idee sul tema dell'Africa e una donna senegalese che vive in Italia da dieci anni. Sceneggiatrice de La donna della mia vita, ha partecipato alla 68. edizione della Mostra Internazionale di Arte Cinematografica di Venezia con il lungometraggio Quando la Notte. Latin Lover con un cast quasi tutto al femminile del 2015. Qualcosa di nuovo, adattamento cinematografico dello spettacolo teatrale La scena, è il suo penultimo film, uscito nel 2017. Successivamente realizza il documentario Sex Story e il film Tornare, presentato in anteprima alla Festa del Cinema di Roma nel 2019.Cristina Comencini è anche autrice e regista di pièces teatrali (Due Partite, 2006; Est Ovest, 2009; il dialogo Libere, 2010, La scena 2013; Tempi Nuovi 2017) e di numerosi romanzi editi da Einaudi (Essere vivi, 2016, Da soli, 2018, L'altra donna, 2021) e da Feltrinelli (Pagine strappate, 1991; Passione di famiglia, 1994; Matrioska, 2002;  La bestia nel cuore, 2004; Due partite, 2006; L'illusione del bene, 2007, finalista al Premio Strega; Quando la Notte, 2009; La nave più bella 2012; Lucy, 2014; Voi non la conoscete, 2014; Flashback, 2022; L'epoca felice, 2025). 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/

Antonio Scommegna"Sempre ritorni come l'onda"Prefazione di Gianfranco LauretanoSBS Edizioniwww.sbsedizioni.itIn "Sempre ritorni come l'onda", Antonio Scommegna affida alla poesia il suo canto, una riflessione profonda sulla vita, il tempo, la fede e l'amore per la propria terra. I suoi versi, densi di memoria e interrogativi, attraversano il dolore e la speranza, sfiorando l'anima con immagini vibranti e sensazioni che si imprimono nella mente del lettore. La crisi del sacro, il legame con le radici, il desiderio di infinito si intrecciano in un dialogo intimo con l'esistenza, mentre la parola diventa onda, in un perpetuo ritorno di emozioni e consapevolezza. Una silloge intensa e toccante, in cui il poeta si confronta con l'impermanenza delle cose e con la necessità di dare un senso ai propri passi. Il suo canto, pur segnato dalla malinconia, non rinuncia alla luce: come il mare che non cessa di tornare a riva, la poesia diventa un rifugio, un atto di resistenza alla fugacità del tempo.Penso che l'Autore della silloge, Antonio Scommegna, si possa quasi identificare con il mare, il suo mare, quello di Margherita di Savoia, una pagina bianca su cui scrivere la sua vita. Leggiamo, infatti: “Al mare che ho dentro affido i miei pensieri”, i sogni, i desideri e soprattutto i ricordi, sempre vividi, salati e frizzanti nelle narici e nel cuore. Il mare è metafora della vita e dell'amore, calmo, sereno o tempestoso, che, però, offre sempre un porto sicuro. È per lui abbraccio, incanto, sogno, respiro, similitudini che ho ricavato dai titoli di alcune poesie. Nel libro, diviso in sezioni o argomenti, Scommegna affronta temi importanti. Inizia con riflessioni sul tempo della pandemia, che ci ha segnati tutti; nella poesia “Pandemico Natale” aleggia una nota di pessimismo, confrontando il Natale dei nostri giorni con quello vissuto nella sua terra in passato. Si chiede: “Perché affannarsi tanto, se poi non cambia nulla”; in affetti non è una domanda, è un'amara constatazione: ”Oggi di quel bambinello di gesso, che si baciava in chiesa non sanno più che farsene”. Emerge un senso di vuoto, di fede annebbiata. Torna, però la speranza: “Forse l'anno nuovo porterà qualcosa di buono”.

Welcome to the podcast, Dr Milone. Thank you so much for joining us. I'll start off by having you introduce yourself to our listeners. Dr Milone: Hello Casey, thank you so much for this interview and for bringing the attention to the article on muscle diseases. So, I'm Margherita Milone. I'm one of the neuromuscular neurologists at Mayo Clinic in Rochester. I have been interested in muscle disorders since I was a neurology resident many years ago. Muscle diseases are the focus of my clinical practice and research interest. Dr Albin: Wonderful. Thank you so much. When I think about myopathies, I generally tend to think of three large buckets: the genetic myopathy, the inflammatory myopathies, and then the necrotizing myopathies. Is that a reasonable approach to conceptualizing these myopathies? Dr Milone: Yeah, the ideology of the myopathies can be quite broad. And yes, we have a large group of genetic muscle diseases, which are the most common. And then we have immune-mediated muscle diseases, which include inflammatory myopathies as well as some form of necrotizing myopathies. Then we have some metabolic myopathies, which could be acquired or could be genetic. And then there are muscle diseases that are due to toxins as well as to infection. Dr Albin: Wow. So, lots of different etiologies. And that really struck me about your article, is that these can present in really heterogeneous ways, and some of them don't really read the rule book. So, we have to have a really high level of suspicion, for someone who's coming in with weakness, to remember to think about a myopathy. One of the things that I like to do is try to take us through a little bit of a case to sort of walk us through how you would approach if someone comes in. So, let's say you get, you know, a forty-year-old woman, and she's presenting with several months of progressive weakness. And she says that even recently she's noted just a little bit of difficulty swallowing. It feels to her like things are getting stuck. What are some of the things when you are approaching the history that would help you tease this to a myopathy instead of so many other things that can cause a patient to be weak? Dr Milone: Yes. So, as you mentioned, people who have a muscle disease have the muscle weakness often, but the muscle weakness is not just specific for a muscle disease. Because you can have a mass weakness in somebody who has a neurogenic paralysis. The problem with diagnosis of muscle diseases is that patients with these disorders have a limited number of symptom and sign that does not match the large heterogeneity of the etiology. So, in someone who has weakness, that weakness could represent a muscle disease, could represent an anterior horn cell disease, could represent a defect of neuromuscular junction. The clinical history of weakness is not sufficient by itself to make you think about a muscle disease. You have to keep that in the differential diagnosis. But your examination will help in corroborating your suspicion of a muscle disease. Let's say if you have a patient, the patient that you described, with six months' history of progressive weakness, dysphagia, and that patient has normal reflexes, and the patient has no clinical evidence for muscle fatigability and no sensory loss, then the probability that that patient has a myopathy increases. Dr Albin: Ah, that's really helpful. I'm hearing a lot of it is actually the lack of other findings. In some ways it's asking, you know, have you experienced numbness and tingling? And if not, that's sort of eliminating that this might not be a neuropathy problem. And then again, that fatigability- obviously fatigability is not specific to a neuromuscular junction, but knowing that is a hallmark of myasthenia, the most common of neuromuscular disorders. Getting that off the table helps you say, okay, well, it's not a neuromuscular junction problem, perhaps. Now we have to think more about, is this a muscle problem itself? Are there any patterns that the patients describe? I have difficulty getting up from a chair, or I have difficulty brushing my hair. When I think of myopathies, I historically have thought of, sort of, more proximal weakness. Is that always true, or not so much? Dr Milone: Yeah. So, there are muscle diseases that involve predominantly proximal weakness. For example, the patient you mentioned earlier could have, for example, an autoimmune muscle disease, a necrotizing autoimmune myopathy; could have, perhaps, dermatomyositis if there are skin changes. But a patient with muscle disease can also present with a different pattern of weakness. So, myopathies can lead to this weakness, and foot drop myopathies can cause- can manifest with the weakness of the calf muscles. So, you may have a patient presenting to the clinic who has no the inability to stand on tiptoes, or you may have a patient who has just facial weakness, who has noted the difficulty sealing their lips on the glasses when they drink and experiencing some drooling in that setting, plus some hand weakness. So, the muscle involved in muscle diseases can vary depending on the underlying cause of the muscle disease. Dr Albin: That's really helpful. So, it really is really keeping an open mind and looking for some supporting features, whether it's bulbar involvement, extraocular eye muscle involvement; looking, you know, is it proximal, is it distal? And then remembering that any of those patterns can also be a muscle problem, even if sometimes we think of distal being more neuropathy and proximal myopathy. Really, there's a host of ranges for this. I really took that away from your article. This is, unfortunately, not just a neat way to box these. We really have to have that broad differential. Let me ask another question about your history. How often do you find that patients complain of, sort of, muscular cramping or muscle pain? And does that help you in terms of deciding what type of myopathy they may have? Dr Milone: Many patients with muscle disease have muscle pain. The muscle pain could signal a presence of inflammation in skeletal muscle, could be the result of overuse from a muscle that is not functioning normally. People who have myotonia experience muscle stiffness and muscle pain. Patients who have a metabolic myopathy usually have exercise-induced muscle pain. But, as we know, muscle pain is also very nonspecific, so we have to try to find out from the patient in what setting the pain specifically occurs. Dr Albin: That's really helpful. So, it's asking a little bit more details about the type of cramping that they have, the type of pain they may be experiencing, to help you refine that differential. Similarly, one of the things that I historically have always associated with myopathies is an elevation in the CK, or the creatinine kinase. How sensitive and specific is that, and how do you as the expert sort of take into account, you know, what their CK may be? Dr Milone: So, this is a very good point. And the elevation of creatine kinase can provide a clue that the patient has a muscle disease, but it is nonspecific for muscle disease because we know that elevation of creatine kinase can occur in the setting of a neurogenic process. For example, we can see elevation of the creatine kinase in patients who have ALS or in patients who have spinal muscular atrophy. And in these patients---for example, those with spinal muscular atrophy---the CK elevation can be also of significantly elevated up to a couple of thousand. Conversely, we can have muscle diseases where the CK elevation does not occur. Examples of these are some genetic muscle disease, but also some acquired muscle diseases. If we think of, for example, cases where inflammation in the muscle occurs in between muscle fibers, more in the interstitium of the muscle, that disease may not lead to significant elevation of the CK. Dr Albin: That's super helpful. So, I'm hearing you say CK may be helpful, but it's neither completely sensitive nor completely specific when we're thinking about myopathic disorders. Dr Milone: You are correct. Dr Albin: Great. So, coming back to our patients, you know, she says that she has this dysphasia. How do bulbar involvement or extraocular eye movement involvement, how do those help narrow your differential? And what sort of disorders are you thinking of for patients who may have that bulbar or extraocular muscle involvement? Dr Milone: Regarding dysphagia, that can occur in the setting of acquired myopathies relatively frequent; for example, in inclusion body myositis or in other forms of inflammatory myopathy. Your patient, I believe, was in their forties, so it's a little bit too young for inclusion body myositis. Involvement of the extraocular muscles is usually much more common in genetic muscle diseases and much less frequent in hereditary muscle disease. So, if there is involvement of the extraocular muscles, and if there is a dysphagia, and if there is a proximal weakness, you may think about oculopharyngeal muscular dystrophy, for example. But obviously, in a patient who has only six months of history, we have to pay attention of the degree of weakness the patient has developed since the symptom onset. Because if the degree of weakness is mild, yes, it could still be a genetic or could be an acquired disease. But if we have a patient who, in six months, from being normal became unable to climb stairs, then we worry much more about an acquired muscle disease. Dr Albin: That's really helpful. So, the time force of this is really important. And when you're trying to think about, do I put this in sort of a hereditary form of muscle disease, thinking more of an indolent core, something that's going to be slowly progressive versus one of those inflammatory or necrotizing pathologies, that's going to be a much more quick onset, rapidly progressive, Do I have that right? Dr Milone: In general, the statement is correct. They tend, acquired muscle disease, to have a faster course compared to a muscular dystrophy. But there are exceptions. There have been patients with immune mediated necrotizing myopathy who have been misdiagnosed as having limb-girdle muscular dystrophy just because the disease has been very slowly progressive, and vice versa. There may be some genetic muscle diseases that can present in a relatively fast way. And one of these is a lipid storage myopathy, where some patients may develop subacutely weakness, dysphagia, and even respiratory difficulties. Dr Albin: Again, I'm hearing you say that we really have to have an open mind that myopathies can present in a whole bunch of different ways with a bunch of different phenotypes. And so, keeping that in mind, once you suspect someone has a myopathy, looking at the testing from the EMG perspective and then maybe laboratory testing, how do you use that information to guide your work up? Dr Milone: The EMG has a crucial role in the diagnosis of muscle diseases. Because, as we said earlier, weakness could be the result of muscle disease or other form of neuromuscular disease. If the EMG study will show evidence of muscle disease supporting your diagnostic hypothesis, now you have to decide, is this an acquired muscle disease or is this a genetic muscle disease? If you think that, based on clinical history of, perhaps, subacute pores, it is more likely that the patient has an acquired muscle disease, then I would request a muscle biopsy. The muscle biopsy will look for structural abnormalities that could help in narrowing down the type of muscle disease that the patient has. Dr Albin: That's really helpful. When we're sending people to get muscle biopsies, are there any tips that you would give the listeners in terms of what site to biopsy or what site, maybe, not to biopsy? Dr Milone: This is a very important point. A muscle biopsy has the highest diagnostic yield if it's done in a muscle that is weak. And because muscle diseases can result in proximal or distal weakness, if your patient has distal weakness, you should really biopsy a distal muscle. However, we do not wish to biopsy a muscle that is too weak, because otherwise the biopsy sample will result just in fibrous and fatty connected tissue. So, we want to biopsy a muscle that has mild to moderate weakness. Dr Albin: Great. So, a little Goldilocks phenomenon: has to be some weak, but not too weak. You got to get just the right feature there. I love that. That's a really good pearl for our listeners to take. What about on the flip side? Let's say you don't think it's an acquired a muscular disease. How are you handling testing in that situation? Dr Milone: If you think the patient has a genetic muscle disease, you pay a lot of attention to the distribution of the weakness. Ask yourself, what is the best pattern that represent the patient's weakness? So, if I have a patient who has facial weakness, dysphagia, muscle cramping, and then on examination represent myotonia, then at that point we can go straight to a genetic test for myotonic dystrophy type one. Dr Albin: That's super helpful. Dr Milone: So, you request directly that generic test and wait for the result. If positive, you will have proof that your diagnostic hypothesis was correct. Dr Albin: You're using the genetic testing to confirm your hypothesis, not just sending a whole panel of them. You're really informing that testing based on the patient's pattern of weakness and the exam findings, and sometimes even the EMG findings as well. Is that correct? Dr Milone: You are correct, and ideally, yes. And this is true for certain muscle diseases. In addition to myotonic dystrophy type one, for example, if you have a patient who has fascial scapulohumeral muscular weakness, you can directly request a test for FSHD. So, the characterization of the clinical phenotype is crucial before selecting the genetic test for diagnosis. Dr Albin: Wonderful. Dr Milone: However, this is not always possible, because you may have a patient who has just a limb-girdle weakness, and the limb-girdle weakness can be limb-girdle muscular dystrophy. But we know that there are many, many types of limb-girdle muscular dystrophies. Therefore, the phenotype is not sufficient to request specific genetic tests for one specific form of a limb-girdle muscular dystrophy. And in those cases, more complex next-generation sequencing panels have a higher chance of providing the answer. Dr Albin: Got it, that makes sense. So, sometimes we're using a specific genetic test; sometimes, it is unfortunate that we just cannot narrow down to one disease that we might be looking for, and we may need a panel in that situation. Dr Milone: You are correct. Dr Albin: Fantastic. Well, as we wrap up, is there anything on the horizon for muscular disorders that you're really excited about? Dr Milone: Yes, there are a lot of exciting studies ongoing for gene therapy, gene editing. So, these studies are very promising for the treatment of genetic muscle disease, and I'm sure there will be therapists that will improve the patient's quality of life and the disease outcome. Dr Albin: It's really exciting. Well, thank you again.

After tragically failing Margherita, Faust longs for the perfection and beauty of Ancient Greece (Arcadia, the prelapsarian world of Eden) where Mefistofele transports him to administer a more subtle, daring, and intense temptation: that of remaining in the lower heavens of the gods (initiates of the superior worlds). There in the bliss of Nirvana, one easily forgets the sorrows of humanity and the hopes for final liberation (in the Ain Soph). While demons provide temptation in the inferno or Klipoth of kabbalah, Lucifer—the trainer of spiritual initiates—also tempts masters on the path to perfection by offering solace and comfort within the higher dimensions, so as to deter them from ultimate advancement to more elevated esoteric degrees. Even attachment to the sacred feminine (Helen of Troy, the spiritual soul and beloved of Tiphereth) can impede one from supreme self-realization, whereas renunciation of heaven (virtues and mystical powers) is the requisite for transcending all obstacles on the initiatic path. In the denouement of this opera, the significance of temptation, redemption, and transcendence is clarified: for only by giving up what Faust loves most is he able to achieve something higher. See how through his triumph over Mefistofele (desire, ego, Shaitan) and his induction into the conscious circle of self-realized and perfected masters (within the Solar Absolute).

En este episodio de Grandes Maricas de la Historia, viajamos a la Roma del siglo XVIII para conocer la vida de Caterina Vizzani, que acabó su vida viviendo como Giovanni Bordoni: un hombre amado por mujeres, respetado en sus trabajos y temido por su habilidad para seducir. Desde su primer amor adolescente con Margherita hasta su trágico final junto a Maria, su última pareja, Giovanni desafió el orden sexual y de género de su tiempo con una coherencia que todavía hoy nos interpela. A través de su biografía, repasamos el contexto político, social y médico de la época, el papel de la medicina en la vigilancia del género y la tensión entre deseo, identidad y moral dominante. Analizamos cómo su historia fue narrada por el médico Giovanni Battista Bianchi con una inusual empatía y, más tarde, distorsionada por John Cleland para convertirla en una advertencia moral. Entre amores apasionados, fugas nocturnas, autopsias que desmienten prejuicios y funerales convertidos en procesiones populares, Giovanni Bordoni se revela como una figura profundamente queer antes de que existiera el lenguaje para nombrarlo. Un testimonio de que lo trans y lo no binario no son invenciones modernas, sino realidades históricas que la norma ha intentado borrar… sin conseguirlo del todo.

Welcome back to Pizza Quest!Charlotte, NC is starting to generate more and more national buzz as a culinary destination city. Top Chef is in pre-production here in preparation for its next season, with Charlotte as the host city, and some of the local chefs and restaurants are getting recognition by The James Beard and other prestigious organizations. And, on the pizza front, a couple new pizzerias are getting a lot of national recognition and, in the case of our guests on this episode, international acclaim. Bird Pizzeria a tough reservation to get these days, with a 60 day wait list and a location that is slightly off the beaten path, but the pizzas are uniquely their own -- a combination of East Coast as well as Chicago and Cleveland influence. In addition, due to the magic of TikTok and Instagram, the Kale Caesar Salad has gone viral and now people from as far away as New Zealand are filming themselves doing knock-off versions. Who knew?As a Caesar Salad junkie myself (I sometimes flirt with the idea of doing a companion website called Caesar Salad Quest), I had to get over there to find out what all the hoopla was about. My wife, Susan, and met up with Blaine and Honey Parker (who you will meet in a future episode here if you aren't already a subscriber to Blaine's newsletter, Free the Pizza), who had driven 600 miles just to experience Bird Pizzeria as part of their own pizza quest (like I said, the buzz has extended beyond the city walls), and we all shared the (yes) amazing Kale Caesar as well as two signature pizzas, The Plain (their take on a Margherita) and also the White, with half pepperoni and half sausage and a few other embellishments. You'll hear more about the salad and the pizzas during this podcast.In this episode, Nkem and Kerrel share their journey with us, and tell us how they ended up landing in Charlotte and developing their menu. Their story, like many others we've showcased here, is unconventional, loaded with unexpected moments of struggle and grace that somehow have serendipitous, happy endings. Sometimes you throw out the playbook and just follow your gut. Those are the places that often end up becoming legends in the making.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Margherita (the trapped and conditioned feminine consciousness), has lost her reason due to Faust's abandonment and the death of her (divine) mother, since the sleeping potion had deleterious effects. Driven to insanity, the distressed Margherita, having born Faust's child, drowns it in a pond to spite her absent lover. Faust is driven by remorse to seek her in the bowels of a prison with the help of Mefistofele, who provides the key to the initiatic mysteries and the means to unlock wisdom from the well of the world, the bottomless pit or abyss where knowledge must be found, discerned, and consciously integrated. Such a descent into the lower worlds is a common trope within mythological narratives, whereby the warrior (human) soul (Tiphereth) must face the terrors of hell and redeem the fallen consciousness (Sophia) from perdition. Such allegories reflect what Samael Aun Weor called the Ninth Sphere, the transformed and divinely-inspired sexuality between husband and wife who conquer desire and practice alchemy, chastity, or sexual transmutation. However, such a path is fraught with pain and hardship, since lust is difficult to extirpate, and “Bitterness”—(which defines many marriages)—“lies in the (alchemical) cup of even the best love: thus it arouses longing for the Superman; thus it arouses your thirst, creator (alchemist)” (Nietzsche, Thus Spoke Zarathustra). Learn how to transmute the pain of the Ninth Sphere through a study of the 21st Arcanum of the Tarot, known as the Fool in conventional decks, whereby Margherita, the Essence trapped in our defects or ego, can be liberated towards the higher worlds of the initiatic path.

Through the gifts of his newfound diabolic companion, Faust recuperates his vitality and youth, capitalizing on his new abilities in the effort to seduce Margherita, a beautiful but naive young woman from town. To assist in the magician's sensual escapades and dangerous liaison, Mefistofele provides him with a sleeping potion to drug Margherita's mother and therefore avoid detection during the lovers' tryst. The couple declares their love despite the rocky foundations of their infatuous and hastened affair. Afterward, the devil transports Faust to the top of a dark (and bald) mountain (sparsely populated by trees) to partake in a Witches' Sabbath: a Satanic ritual characterized by discordance, chaos, violence, lust, and power. Such dramatizations reflect the tremendous reality of and relationship between seduction and black magic: how the passionate fulfillment of lust and desire are the gateway to spiritual destruction and the development of egotistical powers. While modern people laugh and mock such metaphysical phenomena as the consequence and cause of blind fear, superstition, and ignorance, the truth is that such symbols demonstrate how anyone who cultivates lust with mystical devotion ends up as a demon, a being divorced from the eternal but awakened with powers in, of, and for evil. Such powers are driven by selfishness and produce terror and pain, emotions that are so masterfully depicted in Boito's terrifying music and choruses in this act. Learn how to conquer lust and to comprehend the essential nature of witchcraft, sorcery, and the machinations of the Black Lodge (the congregations of infernal entities) so as to enact spiritual self-defense and the protection of our spirituality from dark forces.

Stai pianificando un viaggio in Italia e vuoi mimetizzarti perfettamente con i locali? Gli italiani hanno un modo tutto particolare di vivere la quotidianità, fatto di regole non scritte che sono spesso più importanti di quelle ufficiali. Seguendo questi consigli pratici, non solo eviterai figuracce imbarazzanti, ma riceverai anche complimenti sinceri dagli italiani per il tuo rispetto verso la loro cultura. Regole per Non Sembrare un Turista in Italia Gli Errori Alimentari da Evitare Assolutamente Il Cappuccino: Una Questione di Orario Sacro Uno degli errori più comuni che tradisce immediatamente un turista è ordinare un cappuccino dopo le 11 di mattina. Per gli italiani, il cappuccino è una bevanda esclusivamente mattutina, parte integrante del rituale della colazione. Berlo nel pomeriggio o dopo i pasti viene considerato non solo strano, ma quasi un sacrilegio gastronomico. La tradizione italiana prevede che le bevande a base di latte siano consumate solo a stomaco vuoto o con dolci da colazione. Dopo pranzo o cena, gli italiani preferiscono un espresso o al massimo un caffè macchiato. Se proprio non puoi fare a meno del latte, opta per un "latte macchiato" che è più accettabile in qualsiasi momento della giornata. La Pizza con Ananas: Il Crimine Gastronomico Definitivo Ordinare una pizza con ananas in Italia è considerato un vero e proprio crimine culinario. La "pizza hawaiana" non esiste nei menu tradizionali italiani e richiederla potrebbe causare reazioni di shock genuino nei pizzaioli. Gli italiani sono estremamente orgogliosi della loro tradizione pizzaiola e considerano gli abbinamenti dolce-salato sulla pizza come una contaminazione della loro arte culinaria. Se vuoi apprezzare la vera pizza italiana, prova le varietà classiche come la Margherita, la Marinara, la Quattro Stagioni o la Capricciosa. Ogni regione ha le sue specialità: a Napoli prova la pizza fritta, in Sicilia la sfincione, a Roma la pizza al taglio con ingredienti semplici ma di qualità. Il Ketchup sulla Pasta: L'Orrore Culinario Assoluto Chiedere il ketchup per condire la pasta è probabilmente il modo più veloce per far piangere un cuoco italiano. La pasta italiana è un'arte raffinata che si basa sull'equilibrio perfetto tra ingredienti di qualità, tecniche di cottura precise e abbinamenti tradizionali tramandati da generazioni. Invece del ketchup, impara ad apprezzare i condimenti autentici: aglio, olio e peperoncino per un piatto semplice ma perfetto, cacio e pepe per gustare la cremosità del pecorino romano, o carbonara preparata rigorosamente con uova, pecorino, guanciale e pepe nero. Ogni salsa ha la sua pasta ideale: gli spaghetti per le salse oleose, le penne per quelle dense, i rigatoni per ragù ricchi. Se vuoi saperne di più sulle differenze tra nord e sud Italia, ti consigliamo di leggere l'articolo dedicato. La Colazione Salata: Un Concetto Inesistente Gli italiani hanno una concezione molto specifica della colazione: deve essere rigorosamente dolce. Uova, bacon, salsicce e altri cibi salati, per quanto deliziosi, non fanno parte della tradizione mattutina italiana. La colazione tipica include cappuccino o caffè accompagnato da cornetti (che possono essere vuoti, alla crema, alla marmellata o al cioccolato), biscotti o fette biscottate con marmellata. Nei weekend o nelle occasioni speciali, gli italiani potrebbero concedersi dolci più elaborati come maritozzi a Roma, sfogliatelle a Napoli, o cannoli in Sicilia. La colazione al bar è un rituale sociale importante: si consuma velocemente, spesso in piedi al bancone, accompagnata da conversazioni vivaci con baristi e altri clienti. Abitudini Comportamentali e Sociali Italiane L'Arte della Gestualità: Non È Solo Agitare le Mani Uno degli stereotipi più famosi sugli italiani riguarda la loro gestualità espressiva, ma attenzione: non si tratta di gesticolare a caso! Ogni movimento delle mani ha un significato preciso e fa...

In this story, Libby sets out to paint a portrait of her orange cat Margherita for her school's art exhibition. But what begins as a peaceful Saturday of creativity quickly spirals into a chaotic—and very colourful—mess, thanks to one dramatic cat sneeze and a toppled easel. As Libby grapples with frustration and a “ruined” painting, she discovers that sometimes, the best art isn't perfect—it's shared.Sleep Tight,Sheryl & Clark❤️
