Nach dem Ja der Schweizer Stimmbevölkerung zur 13. AHV-Rente vom März 2024 geht es nun um die Finanzierung. Der Ständerat hat im Juni einem Mitte-Links-Kompromiss zugestimmt. Folgt nun auch der Nationalrat? | Es geht um viel bei der Finanzierung der 13. AHV-Rente: Die Lohnabzüge sollen um insgesamt 0.8 Prozentpunkte steigen; ebenfalls soll die Mehrwertsteuer erhöht werden von heute 8.1 Prozent auf 9.1 Prozent. Gleich mitfinanziert wäre damit ein weiterer Ausbau der AHV, nämlich die Erhöhung der Ehepaar-Renten. Eine solche Erhöhung fordert die Mitte-Partei mit ihrer Volksinitiative «Ja zu fairen AHV-Renten auch für Ehepaare». | Kostenpunkt der Finanzierungsvorlage gemäss neuesten Schätzungen des Bundesamts für Sozialversicherungen: Mehr als 5 Milliarden Franken im Jahr 2030.

How many female entrepreneurs, merchants and industrialists can you name? We all know the names Rockefeller, Medici and Ford, but what about Priscilla Wakefield, who founded the first bank for women and children? Or the businesswoman Julia Felix, who built a property empire in Ancient Rome? In her new book, Economica: A Global History of Women, Wealth and Power, Dr Victoria Bateman charts the vital contributions made by women to humanity's path from poverty to prosperity. In this episode, she sat down with historian Caroline Dodds Pennock for a wide-ranging conversation - from the market queens of 18th century West Africa to the everyday working women of the Industrial Revolution, to the women who laid the foundations for the computer industry. She shows that throughout history, civilisations thrive when women are working alongside men, and decline when women are forced away from paid work into the home, and explores the lessons these histories hold for our economic future. Victoria Bateman is a feminist economist and academic. Economica is available now.

En este episodio de Peras y Manzanas, Valeria Moy invita a la Dra.Claudia Maldonado, Coordinadora General de Medición de Pobreza y Evaluación Integral de la Política de Desarrollo Social del INEGI para hablar sobre cómo medimos la pobreza en México en el marco de los últimos datos publicados por el INEGI. ¿Qué enfoques existen? ¿De dónde saca el INEGI la información para hacer el cálculo de la pobreza? ¿Qué tenemos que repensar a partir de los últimos resultados? Discuten sobre la medición multidimensional de la pobreza, una medición sui generis, histórica y oficial y su papel para la creación de política pública basada en datos. ¡No te pierdas este gran episodio de Peras y Manzanas!

Hace unos días, el INEGI también presentó los resultados de la Medición de la Pobreza Multidimensional en el país, donde si bien se dieron a conocer que 13.4 millones de mexicanos salieron de la pobreza en el sexenio pasado, también se arrojó un dato preocupante: 44.5 millones de mexicanos no tienen acceso a los servicios de salud, situación que se duplicó también en el sexenio anterior.

Niccolò Machiavelli (1469-1527) är en politisk tänkare vars namn i världen står för cynisk realpolitik, medan italienarna ser humor i hans texter. Machiavelli var verksam ämbetsman och diplomat i den italienska stadsstaten Florens, under det sena 1400-talet, när Italien befann sig i ett tillstånd av kulturell blomstring och politisk turbulens.Fursten skrev han efter att han fallit i onåd i ett försök att åter hamna i politikens centrum. Machiavellis idéer om makt, politik och människans natur i en tid när furstemakten stärktes kom att prägla det moderna politiska tänkandet mer än någon annan under renässansen. Hans mest kända verk Fursten väcker fortfarande debatt.I detta avsnitt av podden Historia Nu samtalar programledaren Urban Lindstedt med Verner Egerland professor i italienska vid Lunds universitet.Machiavelli var djupt förankrad i det florentinska samhället. Han rörde sig i maktens korridorer men föll själv offer för dess skoningslösa logik när han förlorade sitt ämbete och utsattes för tortyr efter Medici-familjens återkomst till makten. I exil skrev han sitt mest berömda verk – en handbok för makthavare som inte sökte idealen utan verkligheten, sådan den faktiskt var. Ett nytt sätt att tänka inom den politiska idéhistorien.Machiavelli har genom århundradena både demoniserats som cyniker och hyllats som klarögd realist. Hans namn har till och med gett upphov till termen ”machiavellisk”, som ofta betecknar manipulativt och hänsynslöst agerande. Men den verklige Machiavelli var mer komplex än så. Han försvarade republiken, drömde om ett enat Italien och var djupt intresserad av medborgardygder.Machiavellis betydelse ligger i att han bröt med medeltida föreställningar om gudomlig ordning och moralisk styrning och i stället lade grunden till en modern, sekulär politisk vetenskap. Han tvingade oss att se maktens verkliga natur – inte som vi vill att den ska vara, utan som den är.Machiavelli föddes 1469 i Florens, en av renässansens mest lysande städer, präglad av konstnärlig kreativitet men också av politiska maktkamper. Staden hade varit ett republikanskt ideal under 1400-talet men styrdes till stor del av den mäktiga Medici-familjen.År 1498, efter att dominikanermunken Savonarola störtats och avrättats, fick Machiavelli en nyckelroll i republiken som ansvarig för utrikesrelationer och militära frågor. Under de följande fjorton åren reste han vida omkring, träffade påvar, kungar och krigsledare och observerade noggrant hur makten fungerade i praktiken. Hans diplomatiska rapporter visar på en skarp analysförmåga och en realistisk syn på politikens spelregler.Bild: Montage av porträtt av Niccolò Machiavelli, målat av Santi di Tito omkring år 1500.

Medici trovano una lampadina nel retto di un anziano di Lecce. Daniele Di Ianni ci racconta... i dettagli.

Das einzig beständige ist der Wandel und Software ist niemals fertig. Aber warum denken wir dann Daten und KI als Projekte mit fixem Enddatum? Und wie geht es besser? Darüber spricht Christian Krug, der Host des Podcasts „Unf*ck Your Data“ mit Romina Medici Global Head of Platform Strategy & Data Governance bei E.ON Digital TechnologyIn der Softwareentwicklung sind DevOps und CI/CD keine allzu neuen Begriffe mehr, denn wir haben verstanden, dass Software kein fertiges Produkt ist sondern auch im laufenden Betrieb Weiterentwicklungen braucht. Und eigentlich sollte es mit Data & AI Produkten doch auch so sein. Wir bauen auf und entwickeln etwas weiter, wenn die Kund*innen es endlich nutzen.So die Theorie, aber allzu oft ist es dann eben doch Wasserfall. Deadline. Dashboard ausgeliefert und weiter zum nächsten Projekt in der übervollen Pipeline.Und das wird zum Problem!Denn gerade bei Datenprojekten ändern sich fast ständig Parameter und auch Anforderungen. Die Welt steht nicht still und genau so sollte es auch unsere Daten nicht. Deshalb täten wir gut daran diese wie ein Softwareprodukt zu behandeln.Sie kontinuierlich weiterzuentwickeln und zu pflegen. Eben im Betriebsalltag bei den Menschen die sie wirklich nutzen.Und diese Datenprodukte kann man sehr breit verstehen. Genau wie die Technologie in der sie abgebildet sind.Vom Hochglanzdashboard zur Rohdatentabelle. Alles kann ein Produkt sein, wenn es deinen Kunden hilft.Ob in einem klassischen Warehouse oder Data Mesh. Mit ETL, ELT oder nur virtuellem Zugriff. Die Technik ist letztlich das Vehikel mit dem du den Mehrwert lieferst.Und jetzt der Clou: Es gibt ein Thema vor dem kann es sich kein Unternehmen leisten davon zu laufen oder es zu ignorieren. Die generativen KI Anwendungen.Das tolle dabei: Diese laufen auf semantisch harmonisierten Daten dreimal so gut wie auf dem Chaos. Wenn da kein Grund ist jetzt endlich mal die Datenschicht in den Griff zu bekommen, weiß ich ja auch nicht.▬▬▬▬▬▬ Profile: ▬▬▬▬Zum LinkedIn-Profil von Romina: https://www.linkedin.com/in/romina-medici/Zum LinkedIn-Profil von Christian: https://www.linkedin.com/in/christian-krug/Christians Wonderlink: https://wonderl.ink/@christiankrugUnf*ck Your Data auf Linkedin: https://www.linkedin.com/company/unfck-your-data▬▬▬▬▬▬ Buchempfehlung: ▬▬▬▬Buchempfehlung von Romina: KI braucht Führung - Jan AhrendAlle Empfehlungen in Melenas Bücherladen: https://gunzenhausen.buchhandlung.de/unfuckyourdata▬▬▬▬▬▬ Hier findest Du Unf*ck Your Data: ▬▬▬▬Zum Podcast auf Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/6Ow7ySMbgnir27etMYkpxT?si=dc0fd2b3c6454bfaZum Podcast auf iTunes: https://podcasts.apple.com/de/podcast/unf-ck-your-data/id1673832019Zum Podcast auf Deezer: https://deezer.page.link/FnT5kRSjf2k54iib6Zum Podcast auf Youtube:

A royal wedding meant to bring peace… instead ended in one of the bloodiest massacres of the 16th century. On 18th August 1572, Henry of Navarre—leader of the French Huguenots and future King Henry IV—married Margaret of Valois, daughter of King Henry II and Catherine de' Medici, at Notre Dame Cathedral in Paris. This marriage was supposed to heal France's religious divisions between Protestants and Catholics. But just six days later, the streets of Paris ran red with blood in the St Bartholomew's Day Massacre. - Admiral Gaspard de Coligny, the Huguenot leader, was shot in an attempted assassination… - Before dawn on 24th August, he was murdered and thrown from a window… - What followed was three days of brutal killings in Paris, spreading to towns and cities across France. Between 10,000 and 30,000 Protestants were slaughtered in one of the darkest chapters of the Reformation. In today's episode of On This Day in Tudor History, I explore: - The political and religious stakes behind the marriage - The attempted assassination that sparked panic - The horrific wave of violence that shocked Europe - What became of Henry of Navarre and Margaret of Valois  Have you heard of the St Bartholomew's Day Massacre before?

®È stato riaperto al pubblico dopo otto anni il Corridoio Vasariano di Firenze, il tunnel aereo realizzato cinque secoli fa sopra il cuore del centro cittadino dall'architetto Giorgio Vasari per volere di Cosimo I de' Medici.Nel 2016 questa meraviglia architettonica annessa alla Galleria degli Uffizi e ammirata in tutto il mondo era stata chiusa per consentire l'adeguamento alle norme di sicurezza e per essere sottoposta a un accurato restauro. Dopo i lavori il Corridoio Vasariano è stato riportato al suo stato originale, ovvero alla sua nudità rinascimentale, una dimensione che consente al visitatore di apprezzare appieno la monumentalità della sua struttura architettonica. Alcuni secoli dopo la sua realizzazione il camminamento sopraelevato sull'Arno era stato infatti convertito in una sorta di appendice museale della Galleria degli Uffizi con decine di opere d'arte esposte sulle sue pareti. Ci hanno accompagnato nella visita di questo capolavoro rinascimentale Simona Pasquinucci, responsabile della divisione curatoriale degli Uffizi e l'architetto Francesca Funis, autrice di un recente studio storico approfondito sul capolavoro di Giorgio Vasari.Prima emissione: 18 febbraio 2025

Roberto Fassina"Lilith"Apogeo Editorehttps://www.remweb.it/scheda-libro/roberto-fassina/lilith-9791281386310-228.htmlI quindici racconti di questo libro spaziano dalla fiaba al testo satirico e alla narrazione filosofica e sono legati da un fil rouge di riflessioni sul senso della vita, la sofferenza e la morte. Le storie si susseguono, si intrecciano, fanno sorridere e rattristano, esplorando la realtà con curiosità e ironia, descrivendo personaggi autentici o improbabili. A volte prevalgono i dialoghi, altre volte il diario silenzioso, altre ancora l'ambiente e il contesto storico. Tuttavia è il pensiero la cifra che caratterizza l'intero libro: pensare genera pensieri, utili per raggiungere un livello di consapevolezza maggiore. Alcuni racconti hanno un carattere fortemente simbolico: "Il premio letterario" è una critica fantozziana al sottobosco poetico italiano, fatto di business e premi di consolazione. "Lilith", che dà il titolo alla raccolta, è la trasposizione metaforica della prima donna single, ripudiata da Adamo, ribelle e amorale, interiormente libera e sessualmente emancipata, demonizzata nel tempo dalla cultura maschilista. "Piccola storia" e "Argo" rappresentano il mondo animale e ambientale, con riflessioni sull'uso dannoso del territorio da parte dell'uomo. "Eden" e "Il pellegrino" si sviluppano sul piano ontologico biblico; altri racconti come "Sara", "Il musicante" e "Il porta parola" contengono profili onirici e surreali. "El Ciuna" e "L'intervista" narrano l'umanità, con le sue debolezze e astuzie. Infine, altri quattro racconti sono incentrati satiricamente sul mondo medico e sulle nevrosi dei pazienti.Roberto Fassina è nato a Curtarolo (Padova) il 18/12/50. Dopo la maturità classica, conseguita nel 1968 presso il Collegio Salesiano Manfredini di Este, si è iscritto alla Facoltà di Medicina e Chirurgia dell'Università di Padova, dove si è laureato nel 1975 e poi specializzato in Ginecologia nel 1979.

Before the Mona Lisa became one of the most famous and beloved paintings in the world, it sat in obscurity for hundreds of years away from the public eye. During that time, no one would have considered it the timeless, classic masterpiece that it is today. How did that change? Who decides what is worthy of the title “classic” and is it possible to have classics in our modern age? Rochelle Gurstein is an intellectual historian, critic, and fellow at the New York Institute for the Humanities. Her latest book, Written in Water: The Ephemeral Life of the Classic in Art explores what it means for something to be labeled “classic” and how the notion of the classics has evolved over centuries. Rochelle and Greg discuss the historical fluidity of aestheticism and taste, the shifting perception of iconic artworks, and unearth the forgotten contributions of critics and artists who shaped our understanding of what it means for art to transcend time. *unSILOed Podcast is produced by University FM.*Episode Quotes:Is the world being threatened by new art?42:07:   One of the things that I try to trace in the book is this idea that one's world is being threatened by new art, and the sense that it's not the importance—by the 19th century and the 20th century—of what is at stake. It's not just that there is another work of art in the world, or a style that has entered the world. Instead, it is that a whole sensibility, taste, worldview is under attack.What is the strongest foundation for a classic?52:39: The strongest foundation for a classic is when artists keep a work alive in their own practice. So that, as long as people could still see the Venus de' Medici in the works of all the artists who took it as the exemplar, they would continue to love it because they were all part of a continuum—an aesthetic continuum, a moral continuum—that, in the 20th century and 21st century, became harder and harder to maintain, because contemporary art shifted so dramatically every 10, 20 years—every other year these days. The way that we could keep art alive from the past is: the more we know about what other people have said about it—the people who have loved it, or the people who have not loved it.What really keeps art alive57:00: The practice of art itself—what artists are doing, not what collectors or museums and all the rest are doing, which is, of course, important. But I do not think that that is the most important thing. I think the artist's practice and what they are keeping alive. And then knowing enough, caring enough about the art of the past, to try to understand what their aims were, and knowing it changed over time, and that these works were loved or not loved at different moments of time—and why?Show Links:Recommended Resources:RaphaelVenus de' MediciJoshua ReynoldsWilliam HazlittJohn RuskinStudies in the History of the Renaissance by Walter PaterGiovanni MorelliRoger FryGuest Profile:Fellow Profile at New York Institute for the Humanities Professional WebsiteGuest Work:Written in Water: The Ephemeral Life of the Classic in ArtThe Repeal of Reticence: America's Cultural and Legal Struggles over Free Speech, Obscenity, Sexual Liberation, and Modern Art

Niccolò Machiavelli è uno degli autori più famosi e controversi della letteratura italiana. Il suo capolavoro "Il Principe" continua a influenzare la politica e la filosofia moderne dopo cinquecento anni. Questo articolo ti aiuterà a comprendere meglio la vita, le opere e l'eredità di questo straordinario pensatore fiorentino, con esempi pratici per migliorare il tuo italiano. Niccolò Machiavelli e "Il Principe": Spiegazione Facile e Chiara Chi Era Niccolò Machiavelli: Biografia e Contesto Storico Niccolò Machiavelli nacque a Firenze nel 1469, in un'epoca turbolenta per l'Italia. Il Paese era diviso in numerosi stati indipendenti che combattevano costantemente tra loro, mentre potenze straniere come Francia e Spagna cercavano di conquistare territori italiani. Machiavelli non proveniva da una famiglia nobile o ricca. Era quello che oggi chiameremmo un "funzionario pubblico" o "diplomatico". Lavorava per la Repubblica di Firenze occupandosi di politica estera e affari militari. Questa esperienza pratica gli permise di osservare da vicino come funzionava realmente il potere politico. Vocabolario utile: Repubblica = forma di governo senza re Diplomatico = persona che rappresenta il suo paese all'estero Politica estera = relazioni con altri paesi Affari militari = questioni riguardanti l'esercito La Caduta Politica e l'Esilio: Il Momento che Cambiò Tutto Nel 1512, la vita di Machiavelli cambiò drammaticamente. La famiglia dei Medici tornò al potere a Firenze dopo aver sconfitto la Repubblica. Machiavelli, che aveva servito la Repubblica, venne immediatamente licenziato dal suo incarico. Peggio ancora, venne accusato di congiura (complotto) contro i Medici e fu torturato. Dopo essere stato liberato, si ritirò nella sua piccola villa di campagna a Sant'Andrea in Percussina, vicino a Firenze. Era politicamente morto a soli 44 anni. Espressioni idiomatiche italiane: "Essere licenziato" = perdere il lavoro "Politicamente morto" = non avere più potere o influenza politica "Ritirarsi" = andare via, appartarsi La Nascita de "Il Principe": Un Capolavoro Nato dall'Esilio Fu proprio durante questo periodo di esilio forzato che Machiavelli scrisse la sua opera più famosa. In una lettera all'amico Francesco Vettori, descrive poeticamente la sua routine quotidiana: "La sera tornavo a casa, entravo nel mio studio e mi spogliavo di quella veste cotidiana, piena di fango e di loto. Mi vestivo di panni reali e curiali, e così vestito decorosamente entravo nelle antiche corti degli antichi uomini..." Questa citazione è molto importante per comprendere l'approccio di Machiavelli. Durante il giorno era un contadino che lavorava la terra, ma la sera si trasformava in un intellettuale che dialogava mentalmente con i grandi pensatori del passato. Analisi del testo: "Veste cotidiana" = vestiti di tutti i giorni "Fango e loto" = sporcizia del lavoro nei campi "Panni reali e curiali" = vestiti eleganti, da corte "Antiche corti degli antichi uomini" = il mondo dei grandi pensatori del passato Le Teorie Politiche Fondamentali de "Il Principe" "Il Principe" non è un romanzo o un'opera poetica. È un manuale pratico di politica, una specie di "how to" del Rinascimento. Machiavelli stabilisce regole precise per conquistare e mantenere il potere politico. La Doppia Natura del Principe Secondo Machiavelli, un buon principe deve saper utilizzare due nature: quella dell'uomo e quella della bestia. Come scrive nel capitolo XVIII: "Bisogna essere volpe per riconoscere le trappole e leone per spaventare i lupi." Questo significa che un leader deve essere: Astuto come una volpe = intelligente, capace di capire gli inganni Forte come un leone = coraggioso, capace di imporre rispetto Essere Temuti o Essere Amati? Una delle frasi più famose de "Il Principe" riguarda questa domanda fondamentale. Machiavelli scrive:

Award winning author Daco Auffenorde stopped by Authors on the Air to chat about her new highly-anticipated book, The Medici Curse. Ana de 'Medici inherits the family estate in Tuscany, a place fraught with unsettling tragedy and fragmented memories. Her last recollection of the place was on the night her mother died in a tragic accident. Or was it? Anna can't remember the night and many of the locals aren't pleased to see the return of the woman they suspect had a hand in her mother's demise. Her mother wore a priceless heirloom necklace, missing since that horrible night. Many believe it's cursed, dooming all those who dare wear the Medici Falchion. An atmospheric, gothic tale of a woman trying to find what the past holds, and she might not be prepared for what lurks in the present. Listen to Daco describe the underpinnings of The Medici Curse, the characters, and how the Tuscan countryside seems so vivid.

The Medici name still carries echoes of power and labyrinthine politics. But the Medici got their start as bankers, and built a financial empire that spanned fifteenth-century Europe. Popes, kings, and merchants all did business with the Medici, and the family's power over Florence grew out of its fiscal wizardry - at least until it all fell apart.Patrick's book is now available!

The House of Medici, which ruled over Florence for much of the Renaissance period, established a political dynasty with influence built on successful ventures in commerce and banking. The Medicis predated the concept of geoeconomic power, or governments' ability to wield economic might to achieve geopolitical and economic goals. Today, soft power might be giving way to intensifying competition between great powers. Government leaders are increasingly focused on solidifying economic security through trade leverage, tariffs, sanctions and other measures. As a result, potential new investment risks and opportunities are emerging. This episode of The Outthinking Investor discusses how investors can measure their portfolio's exposure to geoeconomic shifts, which economies and sectors could benefit amid a realignment in supply chains, whether the US dollar can maintain its global dominance, and investment strategies that could potentially mitigate risk and capitalize on new opportunities. Our guests are: Matteo Maggiori, finance professor at the Stanford Graduate School of Business Joseph Nye, political scientist and former Dean of Harvard University's Kennedy School of Government Mehill Marku, Lead Geopolitical Analyst at PGIM Do you have any comments, suggestions, or topics you would like us to cover?

Florence was founded in the 1st century BCE as a Roman military outpost, although it came to prominence as a centre of commerce and the arts in the 14th to 16th centuries CE. The Florentine method of speech even became the Italian language. Some of the city's most famous exports are Leonardo da Vinci, Galileo, Michelangelo, and Niccolo Machiavelli, along with the Medici family. You can see the tombs of Galileo, Michelangelo, and Machiavelli in the Basilica of Santa Croce. But that's not all you can find in this Tuscan city. From the mythological scenes to statues of Roman gods present in the Uffizi, Florence has a range of odd curiosities and folk traditions that are worth seeing.

Send us a textThe Court of Lorenzo the Magnificent Part 6 of 6: Architecture This episode looks at the most significant works of Lorenzo's court architect and dear friend, Giuliano da Sangallo. Among his most important designs, Sangallo was the chief architect and designer behind the Medici Villa at Poggio a Caiano, a countryside escape for Lorenzo that would serve as a prototype for Renaissance villas that came after. Additionally, Lorenzo and Sangallo were involved in the design and creation of the splendid church of Santa Maria delle Carceri in Prato. Overall, this podcast addresses the way Sangallo served as Lorenzo's chief architect, as well as the way in which he remains an essential figure in understanding Renaissance architecture as a whole. Sangallo was a dedicated follower of Filippo Brunelleschi and Leon Battista Alberti, as well as an expert on the rules of classical architecture. Works Discussed: Giuliano da Sangallo, Medici Villa at Poggio a Caiano, begun 1485. http://www.museumsinflorence.com/musei/villa-poggio-a-caiano.htmlGiuliano da Sangallo, Santa Maria delle Carceri, Prato, 1495. https://www.cittadiprato.it/en/Sezioni/content.aspx?XRI=186Support/Watch/Follow: https://linktr.ee/italian_renaissance_podcastGet additional content by becoming a Patron: patreon.com/TheItalianRenaissancePodcast Support the show
