Stella Sacchini, Mirko EspositoLe nuove traduzioni dei libri dedicati al Mago di Oz.Gallucci Editorewww.galluccieditore.comL. Frank Baum definiva la sua saga una fiaba moderna, popolata da creature incantevoli capaci di affascinare adulti e fanciulli. Gallucci, per la prima volta in Italia, ha deciso di ritradurre tutti i 14 volumi originali in versione integrale. Un'operazione unica e imponente che mira a far conoscere il lavoro sapiente e rivoluzionario di Baum e a valorizzarne l'estrema creatività. Il Mago di Oz è una lettura ancora attuale che sottolinea questioni importanti, care alla contemporaneità: il ruolo del femminile e del maschile, i temi del genere e il desiderio di esserericonosciuti nella propria unicità.Il meraviglioso mago di Oz - pagg. 192, prezzo 7.90 euroTraduzione dall'inglese di Mirko ZilahyLa casa di Dorothy è spazzata via da un potente tornado e lei si ritrova per magia nel Paese di Oz. L'unico che può aiutarla a tornare nel Kansas è il misterioso e terribile sovrano di quel luogo, il Mago di Oz. Nell'avventuroso viaggio per incontrarlo, a Dorothy si affiancano lo Spaventapasseri, che intende chiedere al Mago un cervello, il Boscaiolo di Latta, che vuole a tutti i costi un cuore, e il Leone Codardo, a cui serve una buona dose di coraggio. Per realizzare i loro desideri i quattro dovranno affrontare la Perfida Strega dell'Ovest.Il fantastico paese di Oz - pagg. 224, prezzo 7.90 euroTraduzione dall'inglese di Stella Sacchini e Mirko EspositoIl piccolo Tip è prigioniero della perfida strega Mombi sin dalla nascita. Un giorno finalmente riesce a sfuggirle, liberando dalle sue grinfie anche Jack lo Zuccone, e subito si dirige verso la Città di Smeraldo in cerca di fortuna. Proprio al suo arrivo, però, una rivolta spodesta lo Spaventapasseri. Per aiutarlo a riottenere il trono, Tip dovrà condurlo al cospetto della Strega Buona del Sud.Ozma, la Regina di Ozpagg.208, 15x21 cm brossura con bandelle, prezzo 7.90 euroTraduzione dall'inglese di Stella Sacchini e Mirko EspositoLa nave su cui sta viaggiando Dorothy viene travolta da una tempesta dalla stramba Principessa Languidaria, che cambia testa come cambia idea. Al fianco di Ozma, la Regina del Paese di Oz, e dei suoi ritrovati compagni – il Boscaiolo di Latta, il Leone Codardo e lo Spaventapasseri –, Dorothy vivrà una nuova, indimenticabile avventura.Dorothy e il Mago nel Paese di Oz - pagg.224, prezzo 7.90 euroTraduzione dall'inglese di Stella Sacchini e Mirko EspositoDorothy e suo cugino Zeb chiacchierano allegramente, quando una scossa di terremoto fa precipitare nel cuore della Terra il calesse su cui stanno viaggiando. I due, con la gatta Eureka e il cavallo Jim, si rendono conto di essere atterrati nello strambo Paese dei Mangabù, i cui abitanti crescono come ortaggi sulle piante. Come tornare in superficie? Ma ecco che, ondeggiando lentamente giù dal cielo su una mongolfiera, arriva in loro aiuto una vecchia conoscenza: il Meraviglioso Mago di Oz!La strada per Oz - pagg.208, prezzo 7.90 euroTraduzione dall'inglese di Stella Sacchini e Mirko EspositoIl sole splende sul Kansas quando Dorothy, con il suo inseparabile cagnolino Toto, decide di accompagnare lo strambo Uomo di stracci per un tratto di strada. Il bivio che si trovano davanti, però, li trasporta in un'altra dimensione... Insieme al marinaretto Botton d'Oro e Policroma, la multicolore figlia dell'Arcobaleno, arriveranno a Volpopoli, la città delle volpi antropomorfe, e poi ad Asinaia, i cui abitanti, manco a dirlo, hanno le fattezze di asini. E da lì in poi si può solo proseguire, sulle ali della fantasia, alla volta del Regno fatato di Oz!La Città di Smeraldo di Oz - pagg.288, prezzo 10 euroTraduzione dall'inglese di Stella Sacchini e Mirko EspositoDorothy e i suoi zii stanno per cominciare una nuova vita nella splendida Città di Smeraldo, la capitale del magico Paese di Oz. Popolato da creature bizzarre e uniche – come i Pezzipazzi, iCatastrofetti, i Vanverini e molti altri – questo straordinario mondo sembra aver accolto al meglio i suoi nuovi cittadini… eppure una terribile minaccia è dietro l'angolo: il Re Nomo, il malvagio Roquat il Rosso, è deciso a distruggere il regno fatato con l'aiuto dei suoi crudeli alleati e a ridurre in schiavitù i suoi pacifici abitanti. Riusciranno Dorothy e i suoi amici a salvare Oz?Lyman Frank Baum (1856 - 1919) nacque a Chittenago, nello stato di New York. Figlio di un ricco petroliere, intraprese le carriere più disparate, finché raggiunse il successo con la saga del Mago di Oz, di cui Gallucci sta traducendo di nuovo e pubblicando tutti i 14 volumi.IL POSTO DELLE PAROLEascoltare fa pensarewww.ilpostodelleparole.itDiventa un supporter di questo podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/il-posto-delle-parole--1487855/support.

Cavaione è in pitschen vitg cun ina gronda istorgia. Aut sur la Val Puschlav e datiers dal cunfin cun la Valtellina sa definivan ils abitants e las abitantas baud sco Svizzers baud sco Talians, per ch'els na stoppian betg pajar taglia u betg far servetsch militar – quests furbazs! Pir il 1875, pia avant 150 onns, han els survegnì la naziunalitad svizra – quai è stada l'ultima gronda natiralisaziun en Svizra. Quella giada vivevan anc 108 persunas en l'aclaun che la vischnanca da Brusio ha surpiglià. Oz vivan mo pli otg persunas l'entir onn si là. Al grond giubileum da tutgar dapi 150 onns tar la Svizra participescha però bunamain l'entira val. Quai è l'istorgia singulara da l'ultim vitg ch'è daventà svizzer e quella da sias abitantas e da ses abitants. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Cavaione ist ein kleines Dorf mit einer grossen Geschichte. Hoch über dem Tal des Puschlavs und nahe der Grenze zum Veltlin, gaben sich die Einwohnerinnen und Einwohner mal als Schweizer, mal als Italiener aus, um weder Steuern zahlen noch Militärdienst leisten zu müssen – diese Schlaumeier! Erst 1875, also vor 150 Jahren, erhielten sie die Schweizer Staatsbürgerschaft. Dies war die letzte grosse Einbürgerung in der Schweiz. Damals lebten noch 108 Personen im Weiler, den Brusio damals in seine Gemeinde aufnahm. Heute sind es nur noch acht Personen, die das ganze Jahr dort oben wohnen. Zum 150-Jahr-Jubiläum als Teil der Schweiz ist jedoch fast das ganze Tal angereist. Das ist die einzigartige Geschichte des abgelegenen Dorfes, das als letztes zur Eidgenossenschaft gestossen ist, und die seiner Bewohnerinnen und Bewohner.

AI Coaching is Closer Than You ThinkIf you're a coach relying on platforms like Ezra, BetterUp, Lyra, or CoachHub for clients, this episode is a crucial wake-up call. Sarah breaks down groundbreaking research proving AI coaching isn't some distant possibility – it's happening now and performing at surprisingly high levels.The Game-Changing ResearchA new study in Coaching: An International Journal of Theory, Research and Practice examined whether AI coaching agents could meet professional human coach standards. The results should get every platform-dependent coach's attention.Researchers used AI agents supported by human experts in a "Wizard of Oz" setup and found striking results:Active Listening: AI showed strong capability, with clients feeling genuinely heard and understood.Powerful Questioning: Observers noted AI-generated questions effectively helped clients reflect and gain insights.Client Experience: Clients said AI sessions felt like real coaching and helped them progress toward goals.Most significantly, observers rated one AI session as demonstrating competencies "comparable to a credentialed coach." This isn't theory – it's reality.The Platform ThreatFor platform-dependent coaches, this research reveals an uncomfortable business truth. AI coaching offers platforms the perfect solution:No Labor Costs: AI doesn't need payment, supervision, or management24/7 Availability: No breaks, vacations, or time off neededUnlimited Scalability: One system handles countless clients simultaneouslyConsistent Quality: Standardised performance without human variabilityPlatforms already treat coaching as a commodity, controlling pricing and client acquisition while coaches deliver assigned sessions. When AI can provide "good enough" coaching at zero ongoing cost, human coaches become expendable.The Commoditization RealityPlatform coaches already experience limited control – you don't set fees, pricing, or acquire clients. Your income depends entirely on platform decisions. Add AI into this equation, and fewer opportunities will exist as platforms prioritise cheaper, scalable AI solutions.Your Lifeline: Micro NichesThe solution lies entirely within your control. Platforms want scale – serving massive audiences cost-effectively. They have zero interest in small, tightly defined micro niches, and that's your opportunity.While micro niches seem less exciting than global platform reach, they offer something more valuable: stable, profitable, sustainable income that you control.Why Micro Niches WorkWell-chosen micro niches enable six-figure or multiple six-figure businesses over time. This creates something AI can't replicate: deep understanding of specific challenges, personal trust-based relationships, and specialized expertise from focused practice.Act Now, Not LaterAI coaching is already here, performing at professional levels. The question isn't whether this impacts coaching, but whether you'll wait for AI to replace you or build an AI-proof business now.With clear niche focus and solid client acquisition strategy, your coaching future can be secure and prosperous. Stop depending on platforms and start building something you control.Ready to future-proof your coaching business?Visit thecoachingrevolution.com and click "Book a Call" to discuss how this works in practice.Have you enjoyed this episode? Find out more and take the FREE quiz at: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://thecoachingrevolution.com/⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Join the FREE Facebook group at: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.facebook.com/groups/buildacoachingbusiness

This week, we went to the doctor. Oz speaks with Dr. Matthew Lungren, the Chief Scientific Officer for Microsoft Health & Life Sciences, who co-authored a study showing that AI diagnosed complex medical cases four times faster than human doctors. Dr. Lungren walked us through how multiple AI agents worked together to generate their diagnoses, what that means for the future of medicine—and how human doctors and AI could collaborate to build a more democratized healthcare system.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The Secret History of Gold comes out this week. Here for your viewing pleasure is a fim about gold based on the first chapter.“Gold will be slave or master”HoraceIn 2021, a metal detectorist with the eyebrow-raising name of Ole Ginnerup Schytz dug up a hoard of Viking gold in a field in Denmark. The gold was just as it was when it was buried 1,500 years before, if a little dirtier. The same goes for the jewellery unearthed at the Varna Necropolis in Bulgaria in 1972. The beads, bracelets, rings and necklaces are as good as when they were buried 6,700 years ago.In the Egyptian Museum in Cairo, there is a golden tooth bridge — a gold wire used to bind teeth and dental implants — made over 4,000 years ago. It could go in your mouth today.No other substance is as long-lasting as gold — not diamonds, not tungsten carbide, not boron nitride. Gold does not corrode; it does not tarnish or decay; it does not break down over time. This sets it apart from every other substance. Iron rusts, wood rots, silver tarnishes. Gold never changes. Left alone, it stays itself. And it never loses its shine — how about that?Despite its permanence, you can shape this enormously ductile metal into pretty much anything. An ounce of gold can be stretched into a wire 50 miles long or plate a copper wire 1,000 miles long. It can be beaten into a leaf just one atom thick. Yet there is one thing you cannot do and that is destroy it. Life may be temporary, but gold is permanent. It really is forever.This means that all the gold that has ever been mined, estimated to be 216,000 tonnes, still exists somewhere. Put together it would fit into a cube with 22-metre sides. Visualise a square building seven storeys high — and that would be all the gold ever.With some effort, you can dissolve gold in certain chemical solutions, alloy it with other metals, or even vaporise it. But the gold will always be there. It is theoretically possible to destroy gold through nuclear reactions and other such extreme methods, but in practical terms, gold is indestructible. It is the closest thing we have on earth to immortality.Perhaps that is why almost every ancient culture we know of associated gold with the eternal. The Egyptians believed the flesh of gods was made of gold, and that it gave you safe passage into the afterlife. In Greek myth, the Golden Apples of the Hesperides, which Hercules was sent to retrieve, conferred immortality on whoever ate them. The South Americans saw gold as the link between humanity and the cosmos. They were not far wrong.Gold was present in the dust that formed the solar system. It sits in the earth's crust today, just as it did when our planet was formed some 4.6 billion years ago. That little bit of gold you may be wearing on your finger or around your neck is actually older than the earth itself. In fact, it is older than the solar system. To touch gold is as close as you will ever come to touching eternity.And yet the world's most famous investor is not impressed.‘It gets dug out of the ground in Africa, or some place,' said Warren Buffett. ‘Then we melt it down, dig another hole, bury it again and pay people to stand around guarding it. It has no utility. Anyone watching from Mars would be scratching their head.'He's right. Gold does nothing. It does not even pay a yield. It just sits there inert. We use other metals to construct things, cut things or conduct things, but gold's industrial uses are minimal. It is a good conductor of electricity, but copper and silver are better and cheaper. It has some use in dentistry, medical applications and nanotechnology. It is finding more and more use in outer space — back whence it came — where it is used to coat spacecraft, astronauts' visors and heat shields. But, in the grand scheme of things, these uses are paltry.Gold's only purpose is to store and display prosperity. It is dense and tangible wealth: pure money.Though you may not realise it, we still use gold as money today. Not so much as a medium to exchange value but store it.In 1970, about 27 per cent of all the gold in the world was in the form of gold coinage and central bank or government reserves. Today, even with the gold standard long since dead, the percentage is about the same.The most powerful nation on earth, the United States, keeps 70 per cent of its foreign exchange holdings in gold. Its great rival, China, is both the world's largest producer and the world's largest importer. It has built up reserves that, as we shall discover, are likely as great as the USA's. If you buying gold or silver coins to protect yourself in these “interesting times” - and I urge you to - as always I recommend The Pure Gold Company. Pricing is competitive, quality of service is high. They deliver to the UK, the US, Canada and Europe or you can store your gold with them. More here.Ordinary people and institutions the world over use gold to store wealth. Across myriad cultures gold is gifted at landmark life events — births and weddings — because of its intrinsic value.In fact, gold's purchasing power has increased over the millennia, as human beings have grown more productive. The same ounce of gold said by economic historians to have bought King Nebuchadnezzar of Babylon 350 loaves of bread could buy you more than 1,000 loaves today. The same gold dinar (roughly 1/7 oz) that, in the time of the Koran in the seventh century, bought you a lamb would buy you three lambs today. Those same four or five aurei (1 oz) which bought you a fine linen tunic in ancient Rome would buy you considerably more clothing today.In 1972, 0.07 ounces of gold would buy you a barrel of oil. Here we are in 2024 and a barrel of oil costs 0.02 ounces of gold — it's significantly cheaper than it was fifty years ago.House prices, too, if you measure them in gold, have stayed constant. It is only when they are measured in fiat currency that they have appreciated so relentlessly (and destructively).In other words, an ounce of gold buys you as much, and sometimes more, food, clothing, energy and shelter as it did ten years ago, a hundred years ago or even thousands of years ago. As gold lasts, so does its purchasing power. You cannot say the same about modern national currencies.Rare and expensive to mine, the supply of gold is constrained. This is in stark contrast to modern money — electronic, debt-based fiat money to give it its full name — the supply of which multiplies every year as governments spend and borrowing balloons.As if by Natural Law, gold supply has increased at the same rate as the global population — roughly 2 per cent per annum. The population of the world has slightly more than doubled since 1850. So has gold supply. The correlation has held for centuries, except for one fifty-year period during the gold rushes of the late nineteenth century, when gold supply per capita increased.Gold has the added attraction of being beautiful. It shines and glistens and sparkles. It captivates and allures. The word ‘gold' derives from the Sanskrit ‘jval', meaning ‘to shine'. That's why we use it as jewellery — to show off our wealth and success, as well as to store it. Indeed, in nomadic prehistory, and still in parts of the world today, carrying your wealth on your person as jewellery was the safest way to keep it.The universe has given us this captivatingly beautiful, dense, inert, malleable, scarce, useless and permanent substance whose only use is to be money. To quote historian Peter Bernstein, ‘nothing is as useless and useful all at the same time'.But after thousands of years of gold being official money, in the early twentieth century there was a seismic shift. Neither the British, German nor French government had enough gold to pay for the First World War. They abandoned gold backing to print the money they needed. In the inter-war years, nations briefly attempted a return to gold standards, but they failed. The two prevailing monetary theories clashed: gold-backed versus state-issued currency. Gold standard advocates, such as Montagu Norman, Governor of the Bank of England, considered gold to be one of the key pillars of a free society along with property rights and habeas corpus. ‘We have gold because we cannot trust governments,' said President Herbert Hoover in 1933. This was a sentiment echoed by one of the founders of the London School of Economics, George Bernard Shaw — to whom I am grateful for demonstrating that it is possible to have a career as both a comedian and a financial writer. ‘You have to choose (as a voter),' he said, ‘between trusting to the natural stability of gold and the natural stability of the honesty and intelligence of the members of the Government… I advise you, as long as the Capitalist system lasts, to vote for gold.'On the other hand, many, such as economist John Maynard Keynes, advocated the idea of fiat currency to give government greater control over the economy and the ability to manipulate the money supply. Keynes put fixation with gold in the Freudian realms of sex and religion. The gold standard, he famously said after the First World War — and rightly, as it turned out — was ‘already a barbarous relic'. Freud himself related fascination with gold to the erotic fantasies and interests of early childhood.Needless to say, Keynes and fiat money prevailed. By the end of the 1930s, most of Europe had left the gold standard. The US followed, but not completely until 1971, in order to meet the ballooning costs of its welfare system and its war in Vietnam.But compare both gold's universality (everyone everywhere knows gold has value) and its purchasing power to national currencies and you have to wonder why we don't use it officially today. There is a very good reason: power.Sticking to the discipline of the gold standard means governments can't just create money or run deficits to the same extent. Instead, they have to rein in their spending, which they are not prepared to do, especially in the twenty-first century, when they make so many promises to win elections. Balanced books, let alone independent money, have become an impossibility. If you seek an answer as to why the state has grown so large in the West, look no further than our system of money. When one body in a society has the power to create money at no cost to itself, it is inevitable that that body will grow disproportionately large. So it is in the twenty-first century, where state spending in many social democracies is now not far off 50 per cent of GDP, sometimes higher.Many arguments about gold will quickly slide into a political argument about the role of government. It is a deeply political metal. Those who favour gold tend to favour small government, free markets and individual responsibility. I count myself in that camp. Those who dismiss it tend to favour large government and state planning.I have argued many times that money is the blood of a society. It must be healthy. So much starts with money: values, morals, behaviour, ambitions, manners, even family size. Money must be sound and true. At the moment it is neither. Gold, however, is both. ‘Because gold is honest money it is disliked by dishonest men,' said former Republican Congressman Ron Paul. As Dorothy is advised in The Wizard of Oz (which was, as we shall discover, part allegory), maybe the time has come to once again ‘follow the yellow brick road'.On the other hand, maybe the twilight of gold has arrived, as Niall Ferguson argued in his history of debt and money, The Cash Nexus. Gold's future, he said, is ‘mainly as jewellery' or ‘in parts of the world with primitive or unstable monetary and financial systems'. Gold may have been money for 5,000 years, or even 10,000 years, but so was the horse a means of transport, and then along came the motor car.A history of gold is inevitably a history of money, but it is also a history of greed, obsession and ambition. Gold is beautiful. Gold is compelling. It is wealth in its purest, most distilled form. ‘Gold is a child of Zeus,' runs the ancient Greek lyric. ‘Neither moth nor rust devoureth it; but the mind of man is devoured by this supreme possession.' Perhaps that's why Thomas Edison said gold was ‘an invention of Satan'. Wealth, and all the emotions that come with it, can do strange things to people.Gold has led people to do the most brilliant, the most brave, the most inventive, the most innovative and the most terrible things. ‘More men have been knocked off balance by gold than by love,' runs the saying, usually attributed to Benjamin Disraeli. Where gold is concerned, emotion, not logic, prevails. Even in today's markets it is a speculative asset whose price is driven by greed and fear, not by fundamental production numbers.Its gleam has drawn man across oceans, across continents and into the unknown. It lured Jason and the Argonauts, Alexander the Great, numerous Caesars, da Gama, Cortés, Pizarro and Raleigh. Brilliant new civilisations have emerged as a result of the quest for gold, yet so have slavery, war, deceit, death and devastation. Describing the gold mines of ancient Egypt, the historian Diodorus Siculus wrote, ‘there is absolutely no consideration nor relaxation for sick or maimed, for aged man or weak woman. All are forced to labour at their tasks until they die, worn out by misery amid their toil.' His description could apply to many an illegal mine in Africa today.The English critic John Ruskin told a story of a man who boarded a ship with all his money: a bag of gold coins. Several days into the voyage a terrible storm blew up. ‘Abandon ship!' came the cry. The man strapped his bag around his waist and jumped overboard, only to sink to the bottom of the sea. ‘Now,' asked Ruskin, ‘as he was sinking — had he the gold? Or had the gold him?'As the Chinese proverb goes, ‘The miser does not own the gold; the gold owns the miser.'Gold may be a dead metal. Inert, unchanging and lifeless. But its hold over humanity never relents. It has adorned us since before the dawn of civilisation and, as money, underpinned economies ever since. Desire for it has driven mankind forwards, the prime impulse for quest and conquest, for exploration and discovery. From its origins in the hearts of dying stars to its quiet presence today beneath the machinery of modern finance, gold has seen it all. How many secrets does this silent witness keep? This book tells the story of gold. It unveils the schemes, intrigues and forces that have shaped our world in the relentless pursuit of this ancient asset, which, even in this digital age, still wields immense power.That was Chapter One of The Secret History of Gold The Secret History of Gold is available to pre-order at Amazon, Waterstones and all good bookshops.

Bob Moats and Mike Wiemuth examine the beloved mythology of in-state recruiting, exploring whether building championship teams with local talent is still viable in modern college basketball.Puerto Rico Recap & Recruiting Updates[00:00-15:00]Bob and Mike discuss IU's successful exhibition trip to Puerto Rico, highlighting impressive performances and what the games revealed about the team's offensive potential. They also touch on the busy recruiting landscape, upcoming visits, and how the new coaching staff is filling their recruiting pipeline with diverse targets across multiple positions.The Dorothy Complex[15:00-30:00]Using "The Wizard of Oz" as a framework, Bob and Mike dive into the mythology surrounding in-state recruiting. They identify three distinct versions of the argument:The extreme position: Load up on as many in-state kids as possibleThe moderate approach: Swap in a few three-star locals at the marginsThe observational stance: Frustration over missing elite in-state prospectsThe discussion explores whether kids even want to stay home anymore, given changing family backgrounds and transplant populations.The Numbers Game[30:00-45:00]Mike presents data showing Indiana's changing talent production compared to basketball hotbeds like Georgia and Texas. Key revelations include how Indiana now produces only 2-3 top 100 players annually versus seven in peak years, and the geographic shift of elite talent toward the South and Southwest. The conversation covers population migration, infrastructure changes, and why the "inexhaustible pool" theory no longer holds.Modern Coaching Realities[45:00-60:00]Bob examines what coaches actually consider when balancing in-state versus national recruiting, using Matt Painter's Purdue model as a case study. Topics include:System-based recruiting versus talent acquisitionThe "who can you get" factor in roster constructionHow the transfer portal changes long-term planningWhy relationships with local coaches still matterChampionship Blueprints[60:00-75:00]Analysis of national championship rosters reveals that 85% of starters over the past 25 years were from out-of-state. Even programs in talent-rich areas like Virginia had zero in-state starters on their title team. The discussion examines whether building around local talent is mathematically feasible for championship contention.Indiana's Path Forward[75:00-End]Bob and Mike conclude with strategies for maintaining in-state connections while pursuing elite talent nationally. Topics include using walk-on programs strategically, staying visible in local communities, and why the current coaching staff's diverse recruiting approach makes sense for IU's championship aspirations.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

The One Big Beautiful Bill Act (OBBBA), signed into law July 4, made the opportunity zone (OZ) incentive a permanent part of the Internal Revenue Code. In this episode of the Tax Credit Tuesday podcast, Michael Novogradac, CPA, and Novogradac partner Jason Watkins, CPA, review the changes to OZs instituted by the OBBBA. They explore the Opportunity Zones (OZ) 2.0 Mapping Tool, which Novogradac launched Aug. 19. Novogradac and Watkins also discuss the emphasis on investing in rural areas for the next set of OZs, nominations which begin July 1, 2026.

Agradece a este podcast tantas horas de entretenimiento y disfruta de episodios exclusivos como éste. ¡Apóyale en iVoox! El CAPITÁN ALATRISTE es una saga de novelas históricas de aventuras que se desarrollan en ese Madrid, donde se gestaba lo mejor y lo peor de cada casa, sucio y pendenciero, pero que también suponía la cuna de la mejor literatura del siglo. En esta entrega de La Órbita De Endor profundizaremos en la obra de Arturo Pérez-Reverte a conciencia, con un anexo especial acerca de esa película protagonizada por Viggo Mortensen. Además, estrenamos un nuevo ciclo sobre HBO, el canal por cable que ha ofrecido al mundo algunas de las mejores series que se han visto en la televisión. En este primer capítulo, hablaremos sobre la reputada serie LOS SOPRANO y la genial, aunque desconocida, OZ. Y no acabaremos ahí, nuestra sección literaria Negro Sobre Blanco cierra su ciclo de ciencia-ficción con la novela de culto NEUROMANTE y la aclamada LA GUERRA INTERMINABLE. Todo ello con el habitual tono y ritmo de un programa que, aunque vestido de friki, es un auténtico ejercicio de tributo al arte en sus más bellas formas.
