To hear eps as originally intended, please listen on the Patreon or Substack.We're picking back up our brief, alternative history of American class violence, the anticommunist apparatus, and anti-syndicalist dynamite false flags, much wider spread than even I would have realized, this time honing in on a number of rhyming, causal & effective deep events rippling down the welded wrought iron links of the anchor chain of history, largely Chicago and Milwaukee concentric sagas of strike action and counterinsurgent reactions by the capitalist powers that be.File today's episode under: the Haymarket Affair; the Bay View Massacre at the North Chicago Rolling Mills steel foundry that left at least seven Polish, German, and Native workers dead the day following the bloodbath in the Windy City; the 8 Hour Work Day movement; the Federation of Organized Trades and Labor Unions (FOTLU), precursor to AFL; the snake Samuel Gompers; Milwaukee Central Labor Union socialist Paul Grottkau; Catholic Church Knights of Labor's Robert Shilling; Gov. Rusk; "shoot to kill" orders; Cpt. Treaumer muttering "halt" orders under his breath; the N. Chi Rolling Mills into Illinois Steel Company and then rolled up into US Steel come J.P. Morgan's Carnegie and otherwise monopolistic consolidation; Kosciusko Militia; FOTLU and Gomper's feud with the Knights of Labor; the labor significance of the phrase "amalgamated" (formed of individual craft unions) and what this says about ST protagonist Hicks McTaggart's work as strikebreaking PI for UNamalgamated Ops; Pynchon gets real Hobsbawmian, Gramscian, and Adamic-ian with it; "Haymarket FRAME-UP job"; explicitly references Bay View and Rolling Mills; Debs Rebellion; Pullman Strike; Henry Clay Frick nearly merc-ed by Berkman; the Gov. Steunenberg dynamiting; Big Bill Haywood's framing close shave; James McParland; Harry Orchard's confessions under duress; Pinkerton's; more US Steel; Mine Owners Association; Clarence Darrow; WFM; Wobblies; the McNamara Affair, the LA Times Building Bombing, and brothers J.J. and J.B.; surprise guilty pleas kneecapping the Job Harriman socialist mayoral candidacy in LA; spies catch Darrow bribing jurors?; Propaganda of the Deed comes to Milwaukee... or maybe not; the Italian Evangelical Church; ex-Catholic priest Rev. August Giuliani, MPD and BOI/DOJ informant; rabble rousing in the Third Ward, singing jingoistic songs, proselytizing to Catholics (which they didn't take kindly to from an apostate priest cum Protestant), and offering to pay for any anti-war anarchists or leftists of varying stripes' return tickets to the boot of Italy, all painting a picture of the gadfly pastor acting on behalf of federal law enforcement and local business interests with his troublemaking in the Ward; faced down by anarchists like Maria Nardini; the Bay View Riots, multiple Italian immigrant residents of Cream City killed by officers of the law with false flag violence (Antonio Fornasier and August Marinelli killed in the fray); the Milwaukee Station House Bombing of 1917; the comedy of errors; single deadliest day for law enforcement in American history up until 9/11; the curious lag in MPD response to the bomb's arrival at Giuliani's church; the claim the IMOPIO or infernal machine was anarchist made being sourced from BOI agent Julius Brown and possibly a Milwaukee congressman by way of MPD Capt. John T. Sullivan; the Galleanisti, followers of anarcho-communist Deed-Propagandist and advocate of various nitroglycerin and lead means for affecting change, squarely in the crosshairs; and much much more, breadcrumb trails we'll resume tracing next time.

Pier Giorgio Curti"Riflessi di solitudine"Un percorso tra psicoanalisi, pittura e filosofiaEdizioni ETSwww.edizioniets.comIn questo saggio, lo sguardo di uno psicoanalista che dialoga con la filosofia e l'arte si posa su un tema tanto universale quanto sfuggente: la solitudine. Non come esperienza da definire, ma come spazio da attraversare. Attraverso un percorso volutamente frammentario – simile a una visita in una mostra immaginaria – il lettore è invitato a camminare tra specchi, prismi e anamorfosi, figure simboliche che mettono in scena l'identità come movimento, disallineamento, possibilità.Il testo intreccia storia delle idee e storia delle immagini, proponendo una cartografia della soggettività moderna: instabile, riflessa, decentrata. In questo intreccio, l'arte non è solo oggetto estetico, ma superficie rivelatrice dell'animo umano, luogo di pensiero e affetto, esercizio dello sguardo obliquo. Più che spiegare, questo libro mostra: mostra come la solitudine apra squarci inattesi sull'identità, come il vuoto possa farsi soglia, e come il senso emerga, a volte, solo nel disorientamento.Pier Giorgio Curti è psicologo, psicoterapeuta, psicoanalista, saggista, direttore delle strutture O.A.M.I. di Livorno, supervisore individuale e istituzionale, direttore della collana editoriale “Oltre la disabilità” pubblicata da ETS.

Mohli bychom o tom mluvit týdny, ale stejně se nejspíš nedopídíme k jednoznačné odpovědi: proč fotbalový videosystém VAR chybuje, ačkoli má prakticky všechny předpoklady k tomu, aby byl dokonalý?Brunátný sparťan Matěj Ryneš se přiřítí k pardubickému soupeři Krobotovi, který nestoudně provokuje a vysmívá se padlému favoritovi i jeho fanouškům. Ano, bylo to od pardubického vůdce stupidní gesto, možná zralé na žlutou kartu za nesportovní chování, ale podstatné je, že Ryneš za svůj útok nedostal červenou. Ne, nevyloučili ho za facku do tváře.„Chyba!“ zdůraznila komise rozhodčích, která dohlíží na ošemetné momenty v ligových zápasech.Druhý incident nastal v zápase Slavie se Slováckem, kdy se útočník Tomáš Chorý skácel k zemi a červenobílí následně z penalty vstřelili gól. Pokutový kop neměl podle komise nastat.I kvůli tomu jsou výkony rozhodčích znovu pod palbou. Proč nejmodernější technika, kterou rozhodčí využívají, neumí napravit lidská selhání? Straní se snad ve fotbalové lize silnějším? Také o tom se diskutuje v nejnovějším díle podcastu MVP, který zdaleka neřeší jen rozhodčí. Soudí třeba, jestli je pyrotechnika na fotbale zločin (protože Ajaxu kvůli nebezpečné ohnivé show v nizozemské lize odložili zápas) nebo jak slávistickému kouči Jindřichu Trpišovskému sekne nová módní kolekce, kterou v charitativním projektu představil záložník Lukáš Provod.---Fotbal ze všech možných i nemožných úhlů pohledu.

TRASCRIZIONE https://italianwithgiuliaprofessor.blogspot.com/2025/12/parole-della-patente-italiana-lingua.htmlCiao! Benvenuto in questo nuovo episodio del podcast “Italian with Giulia”. Oggi vediamo insieme cinque parole molto utili per chi sta studiando per la patente. Sono parole che trovi spesso nei test, ma dette in modo semplice così capisci tutto senza stress. Andiamo!La prima parola è spazio totale di arresto. Questo nome sembra difficile, ma in realtà è semplice: lo spazio totale di arresto è la distanza che serve alla macchina per fermarsi completamente. Cioè, da quando tu vedi un pericolo e decidi di frenare, fino al momento in cui la macchina si ferma davvero. Questo spazio dipende dalla velocità e dalle condizioni della strada.La seconda parola è tempo di reazione. È il tempo che passa tra il momento in cui vedi un pericolo e il momento in cui cominci a frenare. Per esempio: vedi un pedone che attraversa, e dopo un attimo freni. Quel piccolo “attimo” è il tempo di reazione. Più sei attento, più il tuo tempo di reazione è veloce.La terza parola è consentire. Nei test della patente lo vedi spesso, e significa “permettere”. Per esempio: “Il semaforo in figura non consente di superare la velocità indicata”. Vuol dire che il semaforo non permette di andare più veloce del limite.La quarta parola è essere munito. È un'espressione un po' formale, e significa “avere con sé”. Nei test puoi trovare frasi come: “Il conducente deve essere munito di patente”, cioè il conducente deve avere la patente con sé, deve portarla.E l'ultima parola di oggi è la motrice. La motrice è la parte davanti di un veicolo pesante, come un camion. È la parte che ha il motore e che traina il rimorchio. Quindi, se vedi un camion con due parti, la motrice è quella che tira e guida tutto il resto.Bene, queste erano le parole di oggi! Spero che ti aiutino a capire meglio i test della patente e a studiare con più tranquillità.

Piše Tjaž Mihelič, bere Igor Velše. »V letih 1992 in 1993 sem pisal dnevnik« je zapisano v začetku Zupanovega uvodnega pojasnila. Mladi pesnik se je odločil, da bo začel pisati dnevnik. Nepretenciozno, neponarejeno in niti ne vsak dan. Kako pa se s tridesetletno distanco lotiti branja? Dnevniško pisanje je nadvse intrigantna forma. Slovenska književnost je v njej dobila, če omenimo le briljant, enega najboljših romanov 20. stoletja, Kocbekovo Tovarišijo. A tu ne gre za to, da bi Zupan svoje pisanje pretresel, ga dopolnil ali iz napisanega napravil roman. Kot piše, je zapiske ponekod dopolnil s priimki v oglatih oklepajih ter kakšne dele izpustil, sicer pa jih je pretipkal v računalnik tako, kot so bili napisani tedaj. Kako se torej lotiti tovrstnega branja. Najbolj produktiven način se mi kaže skozi obrnjeno tripartitno strukturo paradigem: začne se z bralcem in nato sledita tekst in avtor. Bralec je v dnevniškem pisanju najbolj zakrita in hkrati najbolj prisotna figura. V literarni vedi lahko beremo razmišljanja, da je dnevnik pisan z mislijo, da bo nekdo zapise prebral (četudi le avtor sam v prihodnosti), morda celo z mislijo na morebitno objavo. Dnevnik kot najbolj intimno pisanje je hkrati vedno javno pisanje. Ni več ni le last avtorja, temveč last vsega sveta. In Zupan nam odgovarja tudi na to vprašanje: »Zakaj ga pišem? Da bi se iz njega česa naučil, da bi se pomiril, da bi ga bral še kdo drug in videl, kako se človek spopada s samoto […] da bi tisti, ki ga bodo mogoče brali, videli, kaj se skriva za vsemi pesmimi, ki sem jih napisal.« Tu se izrazi dvojnost, ki je prisotna v vsem dnevniku, in sicer jezik poezije in jezik dnevnika. »Mislim, da bo nekaj od tega, kar pišem, ostalo. Da bo mogoče to kdo bral […].« »Tale dnevniški jezik je kaj malo v primerjavi z jezikom poezije,« zasledimo 15. avgusta 1992. Vendar je dnevniški jezik tisto, kar je potreboval ob jeziku poezije. Kot piše v Uvodnem pojasnilu, naj bi ga k pisanju napeljal prijatelj pesnik Aleš Debeljak z argumentom, da njunemu prijatelju, tedaj že onkraj slovenskih meja uveljavljenemu Tomažu Šalamunu, manjka prav pisanje esejev. A tudi brez njihove omembe dnevnik napeljuje k tej misli, če le malo poznamo Zupanovo pot in vemo, da je prvo zbirko esejev izdal leta 1996. Dnevnik je predpriprava na tovrstno pisanje. Je čiščenje misli, prvi stik z esejističnim pisanjem, ki pa v dnevniku v začetku ne steče gladko. Morda malce zastaja in me je zato kot bralca na tem mestu prisililo, da sem knjigo odložil. Pisanje najbolj steče z 28. majem 1992, ko se avtor vrne k rednejšemu pisanju, ujame svoj tok in ga drži ne glede na kasnejša odplavanja v mrtve meandre. Takrat se njegovo pisanje ujame v ravno pravšnje razmerje med premišljevanjem o sebi, svoji poeziji, doživljanju stvarnosti in referencah na druga dela. Osrednji del zavzemajo nekakšna esejistična premišljevanja o lastni poeziji ali poeziji sicer, ki ga obdajajo številne navezave na svet literature, glasbe in slikarstva. Med drugim primerja svoj prvenec Sutre s svojim takratnim ustvarjanjem, ki je odmev dobilo v drugi pesniški zbirki Reka. Primerja svoje pisanje iz časov, preden je začel dobivati nagrade, »Sutre so čista knjiga,« piše. »Pesniku, ki piše Reko, je jasno, nekako čuti, da piše pomembno knjigo.« Zaveda se, da piše »visoko poezijo,« kot jo imenuje, bere pozitivne kritike, premišljuje o njih, izpostavlja svoje dobre pesmi, jih analizira, a vse to neponarejeno, bralci z distanco ne dobimo občutka prepotentnosti, ampak iskrenega premišljevanja. Poezija se kaže kot osebnostna določilnica, okoli katere se vrti Zupanovo dojemanje stvarnosti. Nekje zapiše, da si ne more predstavljati sveta brez književnosti. Ko piše o lastni poeziji, se v zapise preliva subtilno, a zaznavno izrazoslovje, ki je blizu njegovemu takratnemu pisanju Reke – večkrat se na primer pojavi izraz tok. O svoji poeziji pravi, da je »počasen, pulzirajoč ritem, kot ritem ogromne mogočne vode, njenega premikanja«. Poezija je zanj merilo časa, čas namreč meri »najprej v tem, kaj (je) napisal, kaj naredil«. Pisanje poezije vpliva na njegovo srečevanje z ljudmi, sklepanje prijateljstev, druženje z dekleti, ki močno vplivajo na njegovo pisanje, in nazadnje zapuščanja in odhajanja. V vseh porah življenja je. Spremlja jo vedno prisotna samota, odrešitev iz nje pa je prav tako pisanje. »Poezija je zaveznik,« piše. Vera v poezijo je neomajna, to je vera mladega človeka. Poeziji in pesniku postavlja metafizično obzorje, na katerem deluje, zaveda se sicer svojega stvarnega položaja, a to ne deluje v nasprotju z metafizičnim. Kot mladega pesnika me pisanje navdušuje in me je navdalo z ustvarjalnostjo, z močjo in vero v poezijo. Nekatere misli so bile kot moje, tako kot tudi Zupan piše, da so njegove misli sorodne Pavesejevim, ko prebira njegov dnevnik. Druga pomembna referenca, v množici drugih, so Rilkejeva Pisma mlademu pesniku. Berejo se kot dnevnik, a nosijo noto pisem mladega pesnika mlademu pesniku v nek prihodnji čas, v svojem pisanju pa iz vseh obročev besed sporoča: iskrenost! Dnevnik Uroša Zupana ima tudi dokumentarno vrednost, opremljen je s slikami in opisovanjem srečevanj mnogih umetnikov. Kulturni utrip devetdesetih zori kot mošt. Avtor sam si želi, sedaj in tudi takrat, da bi dnevnik izpričeval duh časa – zeitgeist. Morda je to precenjena želja. V dnevniku je mogoče najti omembo pravega trenutka, na primer v ljubezenskem pismu N. To je zeit, ki ga gre zares iskati v umetnosti, ki je onkraj duha in časa in scela v njem. Ta moment uspe dnevniku ujeti. In to je največji poklon. In če se ob koncu vrnemo k recepcijski paradigmi. O prav tako letos izdani pesniški zbirki Uroša Zupana je literarni kritik Muanis Sinanović zapisal, da je obravnava Zupanove poezije zašla. Morda dnevnik ponuja izhod iz zagate. Morda bom tudi jaz začel pisati dnevnik.

Piše Miša Gams, bereta Mateja Perpar in Igor Velše. V romanu Sergeja Curanovića Dete iz gozda sledimo protagonistu, ki prispe v skrivnostno vas, v kateri naj bi prevzel podedovano družinsko hišo. Med čakanjem na ustrezne papirje se zaplete z domačinko, s katero ugotovita, da sta prek prednikov veliko bolj povezana, kot se zdi na prvi pogled. Moški namreč v hiši odkrije dnevnika, ki sta ju pisala njegov pradedek in lokalni profesor, ki naj bi po netipični “spolni” združitvi s hrastom spočel dete, nato pa umrl v sumljivih okoliščinah. Pradedek je tako nadaljeval zapise o razvoju otroka na drevesu – s katerim se je kasneje poročil – in zapisoval faze olesenitve otroka. Ta postaja iz dneva v dan bolj podoben ženski, ki jo zavoljo svojih egoističnih potreb želi izrezati iz drevesa: “Odrezal sem še zadnjo vejo, ki sem jo lahko dosegel z odra. Ali njen upor ne popušča. Predno začnem, me prosi, naj neham. Ker ne reče nič drugega, mi je jasno, da skozi njo govori drevo. Vprašal sem jo, zakaj se noče ločiti od njega, pa ni znala pojasniti. Zajecljala je, skremžila obraz, a zmogla le iste stavke kot prej. Ko sem pri delu, se zvija kot črv v žerjavici. Prej je hitro izgubljala svest, zdaj vztraja vse dlje. Čez čeljust sem ji prevezal krpo. Njen krik je namreč tako oster, da se skozi zrak in krošnje zarezuje daleč v pokrajino.” Ob branju tovrstnih odlomkov, ki postajajo vse bolj brutalni, se ne moremo znebiti občutka, da pisatelj čedalje bolj personificira naravo in jo primerja z žensko, moškega pa z agresivno falično silo, ki si prilašča gozd in vse njegove prebivalce. Curanović je prvo polovico romana namenil odlomkom iz obeh dnevnikov ter porajajočim se vprašanjem protagonista, ki mu ni jasno, ali gre pri vsej zadevi za šifrirana metaforična sporočila, s katerimi sta prednika želela zavarovati določene osebe, ali za pretežno realno izkušnjo, iz katere je kot potomec nenavadne simbioze nastal tudi sam. V drugem delu romana se zgodba razvije v skorajda nadrealistične, znanstvenofantastične razsežnosti, zlasti ko protagonist ugotovi, da so v vasi bolj ali manj vsi sorodstveno povezani in tako ali drugače odvisni drug od drugega. Ko se v zgodbo pretihotapijo še motivi bežečih migrantov, njihovih gozdnih zaveznikov Nemih, izgubljenih otrok in nesposobnih policistov, se pripoved zasuka v smer komične detektivke, pri kateri bralec in bralka le s težavo ohranjata rdečo nit in širši pregled nad dogajanjem. Deloma zato, ker Curanović za svoje like navaja le začetnice, deloma pa zato, ker poleg glavnega protagonista v nekem trenutku vznikne množica junakov in junakinj, ki so bodisi njegovi otroci bodisi so z njim v bližnjem ali daljnem sorodstvu. V romanu Dete iz gozda torej prevladujeta dve paradigmi – na eni strani je poganski oz. staroverski svet, v katerem prevladujejo drevesa s svojo materinsko naravo hranjenja, negovanja, varovanja in verovanja, na drugi pa znanstvena doktrina nasilnega prodiranja in sistematičnega naseljevanja genov v prostor, ki se iz miroljubnega kraja spremeni v bitko vseh proti vsem. Protagonist, ki mu ves čas ne izvemo imena, je neposredno vpet v eksperiment prenašanja svojih genov po svetu, ob tem pa mu usoda “postreže” z otroki, ki niso plod njegovega semena in ki se hranijo z želodovim pirejem. Po drugi strani so ženske osebe – s protagonistovo materjo vred – v enaki meri prostitutke, raziskovalke in aktivistke, ki se bojujejo za ohranitev narave in za dostojno vzgojo otrok, občasno pa v svojih barakah skrivajo migrante in Neme, ki se kot svojevrstni duhovi z zašiljenimi zobmi zoperstavljajo policistom. Čeprav protagonist ves čas kuje načrt o pobegu – tako iz vasi kot iz utesnjujočih odnosov z ženskami in otroki – se na koncu vendarle odloči, da bo družinsko hišo zapustil otrokoma, ki nista njegova, a sta na nek način “prišla iz gozda”, v katerem se je s smrtjo profesorja celotna odisejada že nekaj desetletij pred tem tudi začela. Podobno kot že prej v kratkoprozni zbirki Plavalec tudi v romanu Dete iz gozda ni jasno, kateri segmenti zgodbe naj bi bili resnični in kateri fiktivni. Lahko bi rekli, da gre Curanoviću predvsem za prikaz relativnosti in subjektivnosti tako v znanstveni kot v alegorični različici. V končni fazi je nauk zgodbe ta, da ni pomembno, ali se je stvar v resnici zgodila niti ali so nastopajoči v zgodbi res protagonistovi potomci oz. sorodniki ali ne. Nauk zgodbe je v tem, da moramo stopiti čez egoistične potrebe in sprejeti drugega v njegovi drugačnosti – ne glede na to ali gre za tako imenovano kukavičje jajce, migranta ali za svojevrstno “hibridno” bitje, kateremu ni mogoče določiti spola. Dete iz gozda, ki raste delno v deblu, delno v veji, je namreč vsaj na začetku nekakšen hermafrodit oziroma brezspolno bitje, ki je v celoti prežeto z drevesom: “Za to dete pa ne morem reči, ali je žensko ali moško. Spolovilo, če ga ima, je skrito v deblu, obraz pa je tako dvoumen, da se mi vsakič dozdeva drugače. Danes sem si ob prihodu rekel, da je najbrž pob, ko je zaspalo, pa sem pomislil, da ima tak zal obraz lahko samo deklica. Ob odhodu sem pomislil, da je morda brez spola ali da v sebi združuje oba.” Iz zapisanega bi lahko povlekli zaključek, da je roman Dete iz gozda predvsem parabola o tem, kam nas lahko prižene nasilje nad drugimi bitji, in obenem ironičen prikaz samodestruktivnosti, v katero zapademo, če politično-znanstvene paradigme ne nadgradimo s čuječnostjo in če bitke med spoloma ne prizemljimo v nekom tretjem, za katerega ne poznamo ne spola ne pravega izvora spočetja.

“Pi, fe en el caos” de Darren Aronofsky.
Piše Marija Švajncer, bereta Mateja Perpar in Igor Velše. V pesniški zbirki Mariborska se Matej Krajnc vrača v otroštvo, ki ga je v sedemdesetih letih prejšnjega stoletja preživel v Celju. Spominja se selitve iz stare hiše, stikov s sorodniki, družbenega ozračja in raznovrstnih dogodkov. V spomin si prikliče dogajanje tedanjega časa, predmete, ki danes veljajo za starinske, na primer gramofon in kasetofon, ter osebnosti iz tistega obdobja. Popevkar Franjo Bobinac je postal gospodarstvenik, kot Tomaž Šalamun se je tudi avtor pesniške zbirke utrudil podobe svojega plemena. Naravnost izpiše svoj priimek in pove, da je Krajnc pri sedemnajstih letih postal kantavtor. V pesmih je začutiti nekaj nostalgije, vendar pa se avtor brani razčustvovanosti ter je kar nekajkrat tudi ironičen in duhovit. Spomine zapisuje v sklenjeni pesemski obliki ali kiticah, nekatere stihe zabeli s srbohrvaškimi in angleškimi izrazi in povedmi, ne brani se neposrednega, že kar vulgarnega izražanja. Čeprav si prizadeva, da bi bila žalost prikrita, je v teh spominih tudi drobec otožnosti in nežnosti. Bili so stari časi, živeli so ljudje, ki jim je bil naklonjen, zdaj pa je marsikaj drugače. Takrat se je z odraslimi odpravil tudi na pokopališče. Tam počivajo pesnikovi ljudje, tako pod zemljo kot ohranjeni v njegovi zavesti: »spoštuj te ki ležijo / spoštuj te ki spijo / spoštuj te ki trohnijo / spoštuj te ki strohnijo« V poeziji Mateja Krajnca so nanizani prizori iz preteklosti, vrstijo se podobe in asociacije, kar nekaj je refleksij. Pesnik se načrtno znajde tudi v nonsensu. Zaradi večje prepričljivosti in učinkovitejšega vplivanja na bralke in bralce ponavlja nekatere verze. V zadnji pesmi z naslovom Finale: Mariborska pravi, da ni od tukaj in ne bi bil rad od tukaj. Še rosno mlad je prišel od daleč in se, dokler se ni preselil v Ljubljano, ustalil v Celju. To pa je bilo tedaj mesto tovarn, industrijskih obratov in tovornjakov, takšno, da se pesnik ne more spomniti, da je v njem sijalo sonce. Bilo je mračno in brez prave svetlobe. Kakšna pa je prava svetloba? Pomisli, da bi bilo marsikaj mogoče preseči s poezijo. In res, verzi se porajajo s svetlikanjem, ritmom, notranjo vznemirljivostjo in igrivostjo. Pesnik s posebno občutljivostjo slika prizore iz starih časov in se vrača k tistemu, kar ga je zaznamovalo ali pa se ga je le dotaknilo in se samo kdaj pa kdaj spomni, kaj so hoteli od njega odrasli, kakšna glasba je plavala v zraku in kako je preživljal svoje dni, zdaj zagnano in vihravo, zdaj nekoliko zdolgočaseno. Bila je megla, mizar onstran ulice pa je, kot da ne bi mogel početi ničesar drugega, vohunil za udbo. V sedemdesetih letih prejšnjega stoletja je za obljubljeno deželo veljala Amerika. Treba bi si bilo priskrbeti karto in oditi tja, kjer se baje cedita med in mleko. Omenjene so tudi socialne razlike v lastni deželi: »sosedje se pretepajo za drobiž / malomeščani pa skrivajo limuzine«. Ljudje se spominjajo vojne in ohranjajo spoštovanje do padlih herojev. V megli hodijo mimo bunkerjev, nemih pričevalcev ogroženosti iz vojnih časov. Megla je resnična in hkrati simbol nečesa, česar si poet ne želi. Družina se je preselila iz stare hiše in domnevno na bolje, v novo hišo. Občina je v prejšnjo naselila druge ljudi. Naslov Mariborska nima ničesar opraviti z Mariborom, temveč je ena od celjskih ulic: »iz stare hiše v novo / isto mesto pa taka sprememba / tito, si to vedel / marx, si to predvidel / tam, kamor smo šli, / naj bi bilo svetleje / a še vedno crkujejo ulične luči V zbirki Mariborska ni ločil, enkrat pa sta zapisana oklepaj in vprašaj, ostalo je tudi nekaj vejic, pik in številk. Nekatere pesmi imajo naslove, v drugih je prvi verz napisan z večjimi črkami. Poudarki so vidni tako, da so navedeni v ležečem tisku, enkrat tudi v krepkem. V tistih časih je bilo slišati besede v popačeni nemščini, nekatere so zapisane v slengu in narečju. Matej Krajnc je mojster parafraziranja, duhovitih besednih iger ter postmodernističnega namigovanja na literarna in druga umetniška dela in popularno kulturo. Rad ima udarne skrajnosti, iznenada pa preseneti z verzi, v katere ujame posebno in zvenečo lepoto. Pesniška zbirka Mariborska je drugačna kot zbirka Josip Broz se je ustavil v Klanjškovi, ki je lani izšla pri isti založbi. V njej je bilo več ludizma, razbrzdanosti, občutka ogroženosti ter miselnega zrcaljenja politike in družbenega dogajanja. Zlasti občutka ogroženosti ni več. Pesnik sprejema svet tak, kakršen je, seveda pa je ta svet nekaj, kar je podano v njegovih pesmih. Omeniti velja, da si Matej Krajnc kot podpredsednik Društva slovenskih pisateljev prizadeva za položaj, uveljavitev in sprejemanje literature v družbi, kakršno si književno ustvarjanje v današnjih razburkanih časih zasluži. S predsednikom Marijem Čukom sta se domislila pogovorov z literarnimi ustvarjalkami in ustvarjalci po vsej Sloveniji ter v skrbi za bralno kulturo in podobne vidike prisluhnila različnim pobudam. Naj s Kranjčevimi verzi zasijejo sončni žarki, ki jih je pesnik v meglenih časih tako zelo pogrešal.

Conversación con los autores del caso clínico publicado en International Journal of Emergency Medicine (2025) En este episodio del ECCpodcast, conversamos con los autores del caso "Cardiopulmonary resuscitation-induced consciousness in an elderly patient: a case report in the prehospital setting"—un fenómeno sorprendente y todavía poco comprendido: la conciencia inducida por RCP (CPRIC). Hablamos con Jose Daniel Yusty-Prada y Jose Luis Piñeros-Alvarez, quienes documentaron la historia de un paciente de 80 años que, sin haber recuperado pulso, comenzó a moverse, hacer sonidos y quitarse el equipo… durante las compresiones torácicas. Este caso abre una conversación fundamental sobre la fisiología, el manejo clínico, la ética y la capacitación necesaria para enfrentar CPRIC en entornos reales. Contexto del Caso El paciente colapsó en un área pública, rápidamente reconocido como un paro cardíaco presenciado. Los testigos iniciaron compresiones inmediatas, y un equipo BLS llegó con un AED, confirmando un ritmo desfibrilable. Durante los ciclos iniciales de RCP, el paciente comenzó a: flexionar las piernas, mover brazos, intentar remover el BVM y los parches, vocalizar sonidos, y mover la cabeza. Todo esto sin pulso palpable y sin signos de perfusión sostenida. Los movimientos desaparecían al detener las compresiones y reaparecían al reanudarlas: un patrón clásico de CPRIC. Esto provocó interrupciones prematuras por parte del equipo, dudas entre los testigos e incluso conflictos psicológicos en los rescatistas, quienes inicialmente pensaron que el paciente "despertaba". Finalmente, tras múltiples desfibrilaciones y sin sedación disponible en protocolo, se logró ROSC. ¿Qué es CPR-Induced Consciousness (CPRIC)? Los autores explican que CPRIC es un fenómeno real, probablemente subdiagnosticado, en el cual un paciente sin pulso presenta: Formas interferentes Intentar quitarse dispositivos Empujar a los rescatistas Movimientos coordinados Vocalizaciones Mover cabeza, brazos o piernas Formas no interferentes Parpadeo Mirada fija o seguimiento Suspiros Movimientos mínimos La evidencia señala que CPRIC ocurre más en: paros presenciados, ritmos desfibrilables, paro de causa cardiaca, CPR de alta calidad, y pacientes sin daño cerebral previo severo. Cada vez vemos más casos porque estamos dando mejor RCP, con mayor perfusión cerebral y más equipos con feedback. Retos del Caso: Técnica, logística y psicología Uno de los aspectos más valiosos del episodio es cuando los autores discuten cómo el fenómeno impacta al equipo. 1. Interrupciones prematuras Los movimientos llevaron al equipo a detener compresiones 30–40 segundos antes del análisis del AED, y esto puede comprometer el éxito de la desfibrilación. 2. Manejo de vía aérea Los movimientos orales hicieron imposible avanzar más allá del OPA + BVM. Intentar insertar una supraglótica se volvió riesgoso. 3. Interferencia del público Familiares y testigos gritaban que el paciente estaba "despertando" y pedían detener la RCP. Esto modificó la toma de decisiones del equipo. 4. Dilema ético y emocional Los autores describen la experiencia como "desconcertante", incluso sabiendo que el paciente estaba en VF refractaria. Sedación en CPRIC: ¿Cuándo? ¿Cómo? ¿Con qué? El artículo y los autores coinciden en que la evidencia actual favorece el uso de ketamina para manejar CPRIC interferente: 0.5–1 mg/kg IV o bolos de 50–100 mg Ventajas: No compromete presión arterial No deprime respiración Inicio muy rápido Ayuda en estrés psicológico post-evento Sin embargo: La mayoría de los sistemas en Latinoamérica no tienen protocolos Providers temen administrar sedación en pleno paro No existe guía formal de AHA o ERC ILCOR solo tiene un best practice statement Los autores recalcan que la sedación debe considerarse solo si CPRIC interfiere con las maniobras. Lecciones para EMS y emergencias Los autores destacan tres grandes enseñanzas: 1. CPRIC no es ROSC Si no hay pulso, no hay circulación espontánea, aunque el paciente hable o se mueva. 2. La educación pública es crucial Los testigos pueden ejercer presión equivocada. Es necesario explicar durante la escena qué está pasando. 3. Los sistemas deben crear protocolos ya Incluyendo: reconocimiento temprano decisiones sobre sedación documentación comunicación con familiares entrenamiento en simulación Por qué este caso es importante Este artículo es uno de los pocos reportes en un paciente geriátrico, resalta desafíos culturales en Latinoamérica y propone la urgente necesidad de estandarización internacional. CPRIC seguirá aumentando porque la RCP sigue mejorando. Y si no lo reconocemos, aumentarán: interrupciones innecesarias, conflictos en escena, mala calidad de RCP, y peor pronóstico.

Welcome to episode 307 of Grow Your Law Firm, hosted by Ken Hardison. In this episode, Ken welcomes Ed Levy, creator of I Love My PI Lawyer—a curated client-gifting and referral system for personal injury firms. After two decades in promotional marketing for brands like Porsche, Gallo Wines, and major agencies, Ed spotted a gap: PI firms were under-leveraging their happiest audience. His program turns thoughtful, high-perceived-value gifts into stronger relationships, better reviews, and consistent referrals, without looking like advertising. What you'll learn about in this episode: 1. Client Gifting That Actually Moves the Needle - Why gifts must feel personal (not promo) to change client attitudes - How "high perceived value" (typically $25–$35+) beats swag every time 2. Timing & Touchpoints Across the Case - Best moments to gift: onboarding, mid-case, and 30–60 days post-settlement - How mid-case gifting calms nerves and post-settlement gifting says "not forgotten" 3. Design, Messaging & Differentiation - Crafting firm-specific designs and note cards that tell why this gift was chosen - Removing calls-to-action so the gift strengthens trust (not sells) 4. Execution Without the Headaches - Creative, production, warehousing, and weekly fulfillment handled for you - Practical ranges with glassware, blankets, tech, and more 5. ROI, Referrals & Ethics Nuance - How a 1–3% referral lift can pay for the entire program - Ideas for past-client/referrer tiers—plus watching state-bar rules on gifts Resources: Website: edventurepromotions.com/ilovemypilawyer LinkedIn: linkedin.com/in/edlevy Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/ilovemypilawyer/ Additional Resources: https://www.pilmma.org/the-mastermind-effect https://www.pilmma.org/resources https://www.pilmma.org/mastermind AI for PI Expo: www.pilmma.org/ai-for-pi-expo
IP Fridays - your intellectual property podcast about trademarks, patents, designs and much more
I am Rolf Claessen and together with my co-host Ken Suzan I am welcoming you to episode 169 of our podcast IP Fridays! Today's interview guest is Prof. Aloys Hüttermann, co-founder of my patent law firm Michalski Hüttermann & Partner and a true expert on the Unified Patent Court. He has written several books about the new system and we talk about all the things that plaintiffs and defendants can learn from the first decisions of the court and what they mean for strategic decisions of the parties involved. But before we jump into this very interesting interview, I have news for you! The US Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) is planning rule changes that would make it virtually impossible for third parties to challenge invalid patents before the patent office. Criticism has come from the EFF and other inventor rights advocates: the new rules would play into the hands of so-called non-practicing entities (NPEs), as those attacked would have few cost-effective ways to have questionable patents deleted. The World Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO) reports a new record in international patent applications: in 2024, around 3.7 million patent applications were filed worldwide – an increase of 4.9% over the previous year. The main drivers were Asian countries (China alone accounted for 1.8 million), while demand for trademark protection has stabilized after the pandemic decline. US rapper Eminem is taking legal action in Australia against a company that sells swimwear under the name “Swim Shady.” He believes this infringes on his famous “Slim Shady” brand. The case illustrates that even humorous allusions to well-known brand names can lead to legal conflicts. A new ruling by the Unified Patent Court (UPC) demonstrates its cross-border impact. In “Fujifilm v. Kodak,” the local chamber in Mannheim issued an injunction that extends to the UK despite Brexit. The UPC confirmed its jurisdiction over the UK parts of a European patent, as the defendant Kodak is based in a UPC member state. A dispute over standard patents is looming at the EU level: the Legal Affairs Committee (JURI) of the European Parliament voted to take the European Commission to the European Court of Justice. The reason for this is the Commission’s controversial withdrawal of a draft regulation on the licensing of standard-essential patents (SEPs). Parliament President Roberta Metsola is to decide by mid-November whether to file the lawsuit. In trademark law, USPTO Director Squires reported on October 31, 2025, that a new unit (“Trademark Registration Protection Office”) had removed approximately 61,000 invalid trademark applications from the registries. This cleanup of the backlog relieved the examining authority and accelerated the processing of legitimate applications. Now let's jump into the interview with Aloys Hüttermann: The Unified Patent Court Comes of Age – Insights from Prof. Aloys Hüttermann The Unified Patent Court (UPC) has moved from a long-discussed project to a living, breathing court system that already shapes patent enforcement in Europe. In a recent IP Fridays interview, Prof. Aloys Hüttermann – founder and equity partner at Michalski · Hüttermann & Partner and one of the earliest commentators on the UPC – shared his experiences from the first years of practice, as well as his view on how the UPC fits into the global patent litigation landscape. This article summarises the key points of that conversation and is meant as an accessible overview for in-house counsel, patent attorneys and business leaders who want to understand what the UPC means for their strategy. How Prof. Hüttermann Became “Mr. UPC” Prof. Hüttermann has been closely involved with the UPC for more than a decade. When it became clear, around 13 years ago, that the European project of a unified patent court and a unitary patent was finally going to happen, he recognised that this would fundamentally change patent enforcement in Europe. He started to follow the legislative and political developments in detail and went beyond mere observation. As author and editor of several books and a major commentary on the UPC, he helped shape the discussion around the new system. His first book on the UPC appeared in 2016 – years before the court finally opened its doors in 2023. What fascinated him from the beginning was the unique opportunity to witness the creation of an entirely new court system, to analyse how it would be built and, where possible, to contribute to its understanding and development. It was clear to him that this system would be a “game changer” for European patent enforcement. UPC in the Global Triangle: Europe, the US and China In practice, most international patent disputes revolve around three major regions: the UPC territory in Europe, the United States and China. Each of these regions has its own procedural culture, cost structure and strategic impact. From a territorial perspective, the UPC is particularly attractive because it can, under the right conditions, grant pan-European injunctions that cover a broad range of EU Member States with a single decision. This consolidation of enforcement is something national courts in Europe simply cannot offer. From a cost perspective, the UPC is significantly cheaper than US litigation, especially if one compares the cost of one UPC action with a bundle of separate national cases in large European markets. When viewed against the territorial reach and procedural speed, the “bang for the buck” is very compelling. China is again a different story. The sheer volume of cases there is enormous, with tens of thousands of patent infringement cases per year. Chinese courts are known for their speed; first-instance decisions within about a year are common. In this respect they resemble the UPC more than the US does. The UPC also aims at a roughly 12 to 15 month time frame for first-instance cases where validity is at issue. The US, by contrast, features extensive discovery, occasionally jury trials and often longer timelines. The procedural culture is very different. The UPC, like Chinese courts, operates without discovery in the US sense, which makes proceedings more focused on the written record and expert evidence that the parties present, and less on pre-trial disclosure battles. Whether a company chooses to litigate in the US, the UPC, China, or some combination of these forums will depend on where the key markets and assets are. However, in Prof. Hüttermann's view, once Europe is an important market, it is hard to justify ignoring the UPC. He expects the court's caseload and influence to grow strongly over the coming years. A Landmark UPC Case: Syngenta v. Sumitomo A particularly important case in which Prof. Hüttermann was involved is the Syngenta v. Sumitomo matter, concerning a composition patent. This case has become a landmark in UPC practice for several reasons. First, the Court of Appeal clarified a central point about the reach of UPC injunctions. It made clear that once infringement is established in one Member State, this will usually be sufficient to justify a pan-European injunction covering all UPC countries designated by the patent. That confirmation gave patent owners confidence that the UPC can in fact deliver broad, cross-border relief in one go. Second, the facts of the case raised novel issues about evidence and territorial reach. The allegedly infringing product had been analysed based on a sample from the Czech Republic, which is not part of the UPC system. Later, the same product with the same name was marketed in Bulgaria, which is within UPC territory. The Court of Appeal held that the earlier analysis of the Czech sample could be relied on for enforcement in Bulgaria. This showed that evidence from outside the UPC territory can be sufficient, as long as it is properly linked to the products marketed within the UPC. Third, the Court of Appeal took the opportunity to state its view on inventive step. It confirmed that combining prior-art documents requires a “pointer”, in line with the EPO's problem-solution approach. The mere theoretical possibility of extracting a certain piece of information from a document does not suffice to justify an inventive-step attack. This is one of several decisions where the UPC has shown a strong alignment with EPO case law on substantive patentability. For Prof. Hüttermann personally, the case was also a lesson in oral advocacy before the UPC. During the two appeal hearings, the presiding judge asked unexpected questions that required quick and creative responses while the hearing continued. His practical takeaway is that parties should appear with a small, well-coordinated team: large enough to allow someone to work on a tricky question in the background, but small enough to remain agile. Two or three lawyers seem ideal; beyond that, coordination becomes difficult and “too many cooks spoil the broth”. A Game-Changing CJEU Decision: Bosch Siemens Hausgeräte v. Electrolux Surprisingly, one of the most important developments for European patent litigation in the past year did not come from the UPC at all, but from the Court of Justice of the European Union. In Bosch Siemens Hausgeräte v. Electrolux, the CJEU revisited the rules on cross-border jurisdiction under the Brussels I Recast Regulation (Brussels Ia). Previously, under what practitioners often referred to as the GAT/LuK regime, a court in one EU country was largely prevented from granting relief for alleged infringement in another country if the validity of the foreign patent was contested there. This significantly limited the possibilities for cross-border injunctions. In Bosch, the CJEU changed course. Without going into all procedural details, the essence is that courts in the EU now have broader powers to grant cross-border relief when certain conditions are met, particularly when at least one defendant is domiciled in the forum state. The concept of an “anchor defendant” plays a central role: if you sue one group company in its home forum, other group companies in other countries, including outside the EU, can be drawn into the case. This has already had practical consequences. German courts, for example, have issued pan-European injunctions covering around twenty countries in pharmaceutical cases. There are even attempts to sue European companies for infringement of US patents based on acts in the US, using the logic of Bosch as a starting point. How far courts will ultimately go remains to be seen, but the potential is enormous. For the UPC, this development is highly relevant. The UPC operates in the same jurisdictional environment as national courts, and many defendants in UPC cases will be domiciled in UPC countries. This increases the likelihood that the UPC, too, can leverage the broadened possibilities for cross-border relief. In addition, we have already seen UPC decisions that include non-EU countries such as the UK within the scope of injunctions, in certain constellations. The interaction between UPC practice and the Bosch jurisprudence of the CJEU is only beginning to unfold. Does the UPC Follow EPO Case Law? A key concern for many patent owners and practitioners is whether the UPC will follow the EPO's Boards of Appeal or develop its own, possibly divergent, case law on validity. On procedural matters, the UPC is naturally different from the EPO. It has its own rules of procedure, its own timelines and its own tools, such as “front-loaded” pleadings and tight limits on late-filed material. On substantive law, however, Prof. Hüttermann's conclusion is clear: there is “nothing new under the sun”. The UPC's approach to novelty, inventive step and added matter is very close to that of the EPO. The famous “gold standard” for added matter appears frequently in UPC decisions. Intermediate generalisations are treated with the same suspicion as at the EPO. In at least one case, the UPC revoked a patent for added matter even though the EPO had granted it in exactly that form. The alignment is not accidental. The UPC only deals with European patents granted by the EPO; it does not hear cases on purely national patents. If the UPC were more generous than the EPO, many patents would never reach it. If it were systematically stricter, patentees would be more tempted to opt out of the system. In practice, the UPC tends to apply the EPO's standards and, where anything differs, it is usually a matter of factual appreciation rather than a different legal test. For practitioners, this has a very practical implication: if you want to predict how the UPC will decide on validity, the best starting point is to ask how the EPO would analyse the case. The UPC may not always reach the same result in parallel EPO opposition proceedings, but the conceptual framework is largely the same. Trends in UPC Practice: PIs, Equivalents and Division-Specific Styles Even in its early years, certain trends and differences between UPC divisions can be observed. On preliminary injunctions, the local division in Düsseldorf has taken a particularly proactive role. It has been responsible for most of the ex parte PIs granted so far and applies a rather strict notion of urgency, often considering one month after knowledge of the infringement as still acceptable, but treating longer delays with scepticism. Other divisions tend to see two months as still compatible with urgency, and they are much more cautious with ex parte measures. Munich, by contrast, has indicated a strong preference for inter partes PI proceedings and appears reluctant to grant ex parte relief at all. A judge from Munich has even described the main action as the “fast” procedure and the inter partes PI as the “very fast” one, leaving little room for an even faster ex parte track. There are also differences in how divisions handle amendments and auxiliary requests in PI proceedings. Munich has suggested that if a patentee needs to rely on claim amendments or auxiliary requests in a PI, the request is unlikely to succeed. Other divisions have been more open to considering auxiliary requests. The doctrine of equivalents is another area where practice is not yet harmonised. The Hague division has explicitly applied a test taken from Dutch law in at least one case and found infringement by equivalence. However, the Court of Appeal has not yet endorsed a specific test, and in another recent Hague case the same division did not apply that Dutch-law test again. The Mannheim division has openly called for the development of an autonomous, pan-European equivalence test, but has not yet fixed such a test in a concrete decision. This is clearly an area to watch. Interim conferences are commonly used in most divisions to clarify issues early on, but Düsseldorf often dispenses with them to save time. In practice, interim conferences can be very helpful for narrowing down the issues, though parties should not expect to be able to predict the final decision from what is discussed there. Sometimes topics that dominate the interim conference play little or no role in the main oral hearing. A Front-Loaded System and Typical Strategic Mistakes UPC proceedings are highly front-loaded and very fast. A defendant usually has three months from service of the statement of claim to file a full statement of defence and any counterclaim for revocation. This is manageable, but only if the time is used wisely. One common strategic problem is that parties lose time at the beginning and only develop a clear strategy late in the three-month period. According to Prof. Hüttermann, it is crucial to have a firm strategy within the first two or three weeks and then execute it consistently. Constantly changing direction is a recipe for failure in such a compressed system. Another characteristic is the strict attitude towards late-filed material. It is difficult to introduce new documents or new inventive-step attacks later in the procedure. In some cases even alternative combinations of already-filed prior-art documents have been viewed as “new” attacks and rejected as late. At the appeal stage, the Court of Appeal has even considered new arguments based on different parts of a book already in the file as potentially late-filed. This does not mean that parties should flood the court with dozens of alternative attacks in the initial brief. In one revocation action, a plaintiff filed about fifty different inventive-step attacks, only to be told by the court that this was not acceptable and that the attacks had to be reduced and structured. The UPC is not a body conducting ex officio examination. It is entitled to manage the case actively and to ask parties to focus on the most relevant issues. Evidence Gathering, Protective Letters and the Defendant's Perspective The UPC provides powerful tools for both sides. Evidence inspection is becoming more common, not only at trade fairs but also at company premises. This can be a valuable tool for patentees, but it also poses a serious risk for defendants who may suddenly face court-ordered inspections. From the perspective of potential defendants, protective letters are an important instrument, especially in divisions like Düsseldorf where ex parte PIs are possible. A well-written protective letter, filed in advance, can significantly reduce the risk of a surprise injunction. The court fees are moderate, but the content of the protective letter must be carefully prepared; a poor submission can cause more harm than good. Despite the strong tools available to patentees, Prof. Hüttermann does not view the UPC as unfair to defendants. If a defendant files a solid revocation counterclaim, the pressure shifts to the patentee, who then has only two months to reply, prepare all auxiliary requests and adapt the enforcement strategy. This is even more demanding than at the EPO, because the patentee must not only respond to validity attacks but also ensure that any amended claims still capture the allegedly infringing product. It is entirely possible to secure the survival of a patent with an auxiliary request that no longer covers the defendant's product. In that scenario, the patentee has “won” on validity but lost the infringement case. Managing this tension under tight time limits is a key challenge of UPC practice. The Future Role of the UPC and How to Prepare Today the UPC hears a few hundred cases per year, compared with several thousand patent cases in the US and tens of thousands in China. Nevertheless, both the court itself and experienced practitioners see significant growth potential. Prof. Hüttermann expects case numbers to multiply in the medium term. Whether the UPC will become the first choice forum in global disputes or remain one pillar in parallel proceedings alongside the US and China will depend on the strategies of large patentees and the evolution of case law. However, the court is well equipped: it covers a large, economically important territory, is comparatively cost-effective and offers fast procedures with robust remedies. For companies that may end up before the UPC, preparation is essential. On the offensive side, that means building strong evidence and legal arguments before filing, being ready to proceed quickly and structured, and understanding the specific styles of the relevant divisions. On the defensive side, it may mean filing protective letters in risk-exposed markets, preparing internal processes for rapid reaction if a statement of claim arrives, and taking inspection requests seriously. Conclusion The Unified Patent Court has quickly moved from theory to practice. It offers pan-European relief, fast and front-loaded procedures, and a substantive approach that closely mirrors the EPO's case law. At the same time, national and EU-level developments like the Bosch Siemens Hausgeräte v. Electrolux decision are reshaping the jurisdictional framework in which the UPC operates, opening the door for far-reaching cross-border injunctions. For patent owners and potential defendants alike, the message is clear: the UPC is here to stay and will become more important year by year. Those who invest the time to understand its dynamics now – including its alignment with the EPO, the differences between divisions, and the strategic implications of its procedures – will be in a much better position when the first UPC dispute lands on their desk. Here is the full transcript of the interview: Rolf Claessen:Today's interview guest is Prof. Aloys Hüttermann. He is founder and equity partner of my firm, Michalski · Hüttermann & Partner. More importantly for today's interview, he has written several books about the Unified Patent Court. The first one already came out in 2016. He is co-editor and author of one of the leading commentaries on the UPC and has gained substantial experience in UPC cases so far – one of them even together with me. Thank you very much for being on IP Fridays again, Aloys. Aloys Hüttermann:Thank you for inviting me, it's an honour. How did you get so deeply involved in the UPC? Rolf Claessen:Before we dive into the details, how did you end up so deeply involved in the Unified Patent Court? And what personally fascinates you about this court? Aloys Hüttermann:This goes back quite a while – roughly 13 years. At that time it became clear that, after several failed attempts, Europe would really get a pan-European court and a pan-European patent, and that this time it was serious. I thought: this is going to be the future. That interested me a lot, both intellectually and practically. A completely new system was being built. You could watch how it evolved – and, if possible, even help shape it a bit. It was also obvious to me that this would be a complete game changer. Nobody expected that it would take until 2023 before the system actually started operating, but now it is here. I became heavily interested early on. As you mentioned, my first book on the UPC was published in 2016, in the expectation that the system would start soon. It took a bit longer, but now we finally have it. UPC vs. US and China – speed, cost and impact Rolf Claessen:Before we go deeper into the UPC, let's zoom out. If you compare litigation before the UPC with patent litigation in the US and in China – in terms of speed, cost and the impact of decisions – what are the key differences that a business leader should understand? Aloys Hüttermann:If you look at the three big regions – the UPC territory in Europe, the US and China – these are the major economic areas for many technology companies. One important point is territorial reach. In the UPC, if the conditions are met, you can get pan-European injunctions that cover many EU Member States in one go. We will talk about this later in more detail. On costs there is a huge difference between the US and the UPC. The UPC is much cheaper than US litigation, especially once you look at the number of countries you can cover with one case if the patent has been validated widely. China is different again. The number of patent infringement cases there is enormous. I have seen statistics of around 40,000 infringement cases per year in China. That is huge – compared with roughly 164 UPC infringement cases in the first year and maybe around 200 in the current year. On speed, Chinese courts are known to be very fast. You often get a first-instance decision in about a year. The UPC is comparable: if there is a counterclaim for revocation, you are looking at something like 12 to 15 months for a first-instance decision. The US can be slower, and the procedure is very different. You have full discovery, you may have juries. None of that exists at the UPC. From that perspective, Chinese and UPC proceedings are more similar to each other than either is to the US. The UPC is still a young court. We have to see how influential its case law will be worldwide in the long run. What we already see, at least in Germany, is a clear trend away from purely national patent litigation and towards the UPC. That is inside Europe. The global impact will develop over time. When is the UPC the most powerful tool? Rolf Claessen:Let's take the perspective of a global company. It has significant sales in Europe and in the US and production or key suppliers in China. In which situations would you say the UPC is your most powerful tool? And when might the US or China be the more strategic battleground? Aloys Hüttermann:To be honest, I would almost always consider bringing a case before the UPC. The “bang for the buck” is very good. The UPC is rather fast. That alone already gives you leverage in negotiations. The threat of a quick, wide-reaching injunction is a strong negotiation tool. Whether you litigate in the US instead of the UPC, or in addition, or whether you also go to China – that depends heavily on the individual case: where the products are sold, where the key markets are, where the defendant has assets, and so on. But in my view, once you have substantial sales in Europe, you should seriously consider the UPC. And for that reason alone I expect case numbers at the UPC to increase significantly in the coming years. A landmark UPC case: Syngenta vs. Sumitomo (composition patent) Rolf Claessen:You have already been involved in several UPC cases – and one of them together with me, which was great fun. Looking at the last 12 to 18 months, is there a case, decision or development that you find particularly noteworthy – something that really changed how you think about UPC litigation or how companies should prepare? Aloys Hüttermann:The most important UPC case I have been involved in so far is the Syngenta v. Sumitomo case on a composition patent. It has become a real landmark and was even mentioned in the UPC's annual report. It is important for several reasons. First, it was one of the first cases in which the Court of Appeal said very clearly: if you have established infringement in one Member State, that will usually be enough for a pan-European injunction covering all UPC countries designated by the patent. That is a powerful statement about the reach of UPC relief. Second, the facts were interesting. The patent concerned a composition. We had analysed a sample that had been obtained in the Czech Republic, which is not a UPC country. Later, the same product was marketed under the same name in Bulgaria, which is in the UPC. The question was whether the analysis of the Czech sample could be used as a basis for enforcement in Bulgaria. The Court of Appeal said yes, that was sufficient. Third, the Court of Appeal took the opportunity to say something about inventive step. It more or less confirmed that the UPC's approach is very close to the EPO's problem-solution approach. It emphasised that, if you want to combine prior-art documents, you need a “pointer” to do so. The mere theoretical possibility that a skilled person could dig a particular piece of information out of a document is not enough. For me personally, the most memorable aspect of this case was not the outcome – that was largely in line with what we had expected – but the oral hearings at the appeal stage. We had two hearings. In both, the presiding judge asked us a question that we had not anticipated at all. And then you have about 20 minutes to come up with a convincing answer while the hearing continues. We managed it, but it made me think a lot about how you should prepare for oral hearings at the UPC. My conclusion is: you should go in with a team, but not too big. In German we say, “Zu viele Köche verderben den Brei” – too many cooks spoil the broth. Two or three people seems ideal. One of them can work quietly on such a surprise question at the side, while the others continue arguing the case. In the end the case went very well for us, so I can speak about it quite calmly now. But in the moment your heart rate definitely goes up. The CJEU's Bosch Siemens Hausgeräte v. Electrolux decision – a real game changer Rolf Claessen:You also mentioned another development that is not even a UPC case, but still very important for European patent litigation. Aloys Hüttermann:Yes. In my view, the most important case of the last twelve months is not a UPC decision but a judgment of the Court of Justice of the EU (CJEU): Bosch Siemens Hausgeräte v. Electrolux. This is going to be a real game changer for European IP law, and I am sure we have not seen the end of its effects yet. One example: someone has recently sued BMW before the Landgericht München I, a German court, for infringement of a US patent based on acts in the US. The argument is that this could be backed by the logic of Bosch Siemens Hausgeräte v. Electrolux. We do not know yet what the court will do with that, but the fact that people are trying this shows how far-reaching the decision might be. Within the UPC we have already seen injunctions being issued for countries outside the UPC territory and even outside the EU, for example including the UK. So you see how these developments start to interact. Rolf Claessen:For listeners who have not followed the case so closely: in very simple terms, the CJEU opened the door for courts in one EU country to rule on patent infringement that took place in other countries as well, right? Aloys Hüttermann:Exactly. Before Bosch Siemens Hausgeräte v. Electrolux we had what was often called the GAT/LuK regime. The basic idea was: if you sue someone in, say, Germany for infringement of a European patent, and you also ask for an injunction for France, and the defendant then challenges the validity of the patent in France, the German court cannot grant you an injunction covering France. The Bosch decision changed that. The legal basis is the Brussels I Recast Regulation (Brussels Ia), which deals with jurisdiction in civil and commercial matters in the EU. It is not specific to IP; it applies to civil cases generally, but it does have some provisions that are relevant for patents. In Bosch, a Swedish court asked the CJEU for guidance on cross-border injunctions. The CJEU more or less overturned its old GAT/LuK case law. Now, in principle, if the defendant is domiciled in a particular Member State, the courts of that state can also grant cross-border relief for other countries, under certain conditions. We will not go into all the details here – that could fill a whole separate IP Fridays episode – but one important concept is the “anchor defendant”. If you sue a group of companies and at least one defendant is domiciled in the forum state, then other group companies in other countries – even outside the EU, for example in Hong Kong – can be drawn into the case and affected by the decision. This is not limited to the UPC, but of course it is highly relevant for UPC litigation. Statistically it increases the chances that at least one defendant will be domiciled in a UPC country, simply because there are many of them. And we have already seen courts like the Landgericht München I grant pan-European injunctions for around 20 countries in a pharmaceutical case. Rolf Claessen:Just to clarify: does it have to be the headquarters of the defendant in that country, or is any registered office enough? Aloys Hüttermann:That is one of the open points. If the headquarters are in Europe, then it is clear that subsidiaries outside Europe can be affected as well. If the group's headquarters are outside Europe and only a subsidiary is here, the situation is less clear and we will have to see what the courts make of it. Does the UPC follow EPO case law? Rolf Claessen:Many patent owners and in-house counsel wonder: does the UPC largely follow the case law of the EPO Boards of Appeal, or is it starting to develop its own distinct line? What is your impression so far – both on substantive issues like novelty and inventive step, and on procedural questions? Aloys Hüttermann:On procedure the UPC is, of course, very different. It has its own procedural rules and they are not the same as at the EPO. If we look at patent validity, however, my impression is that there is “nothing new under the sun” – that was the title of a recent talk I gave and will give again in Hamburg. Substantively, the case law of the UPC and the EPO is very similar. For inventive step, people sometimes say the UPC does not use the classical problem-solution approach but a more “holistic” approach – whatever that is supposed to mean. In practice, in both systems you read and interpret prior-art documents and decide what they really disclose. In my view, the “error bar” that comes from two courts simply reading a document slightly differently is much larger than any systematic difference in legal approach. If you look at other grounds, such as novelty and added matter, the UPC even follows the EPO almost verbatim. The famous “gold standard” for added matter appears all over UPC decisions, even if the EPO case numbers are not always cited. The same is true for novelty. So the rule-based, almost “Hilbertian” EPO approach is very much present at the UPC. There is also a structural reason for that. All patents that the UPC currently deals with have been granted by the EPO. The UPC does not handle patents granted only by national offices. If the UPC wanted to deviate from EPO case law and be more generous, then many patents would never reach the UPC in the first place. The most generous approach you can have is the one used by the granting authority – the EPO. So if the UPC wants to be different, it can only be stricter, not more lenient. And there is little incentive to be systematically stricter, because that would reduce the number of patents that are attractive to enforce before the UPC. Patent owners might simply opt out. Rolf Claessen:We also talked about added matter and a recent case where the Court of Appeal was even stricter than the EPO. That probably gives US patent practitioners a massive headache. They already struggle with added-matter rules in Europe, and now the UPC might be even tougher. Aloys Hüttermann:Yes, especially on added matter. I once spoke with a US practitioner who said, “We hope the UPC will move away from intermediate generalisations.” There is no chance of that. We already have cases where the Court of Appeal confirmed that intermediate generalisations are not allowed, in full alignment with the EPO. You mentioned a recent case where a patent was revoked for added matter, even though it had been granted by the EPO in exactly that form. This shows quite nicely what to expect. If you want to predict how the UPC will handle a revocation action, the best starting point is to ask: “What would the EPO do?” Of course, there will still be cases where the UPC finds an invention to be inventive while the EPO, in parallel opposition proceedings, does not – or vice versa. But those are differences in the appreciation of the facts and the prior art, which you will always have. The underlying legal approach is essentially the same. Rolf Claessen:So you do not see a real example yet where the UPC has taken a totally different route from the EPO on validity? Aloys Hüttermann:No, not really. If I had to estimate how the UPC will decide, I would always start from what I think the EPO would have done. Trends in UPC practice: PIs, equivalents, interim conferences Rolf Claessen:If you look across the different UPC divisions and cases: what trends do you see in practice? For example regarding timelines, preliminary injunctions, how validity attacks are handled, and how UPC cases interact with EPO oppositions or national proceedings? Aloys Hüttermann:If you take the most active divisions – essentially the big four in Germany and the local division in The Hague – they all try to be very careful and diligent in their decisions. But you can already see some differences in practice. For preliminary injunctions there is a clear distinction between the local division in Düsseldorf and most other divisions. Düsseldorf considers one month after knowledge of the infringement as still sufficiently urgent. If you wait longer, it is usually considered too late. In many other divisions, two months is still viewed as fine. Düsseldorf has also been the division that issued most of the ex parte preliminary injunctions so far. Apart from one special outlier where a standing judge from Brussels was temporarily sitting in Milan, Düsseldorf is basically the only one. Other divisions have been much more reluctant. At a conference, Judge Pichlmaier from the Munich division once said that he could hardly imagine a situation where his division would grant an ex parte PI. In his words, the UPC has two types of procedure: one that is fast – the normal main action – and one that is very fast – the inter partes PI procedure. But you do not really have an “ultra-fast” ex parte track, at least not in his division. Another difference relates to amendments and auxiliary requests in PI proceedings. In one recent case in Munich the court said more or less that if you have to amend your patent or rely on auxiliary requests in a PI, you lose. Other divisions have been more flexible and have allowed auxiliary requests. Equivalence is another area where we do not have a unified line yet. So far, only the Hague division has clearly found infringement under the doctrine of equivalents and explicitly used a test taken from Dutch law. Whether that test will be approved by the Court of Appeal is completely open – the first case settled, so the Court of Appeal never ruled on it, and a second one is still very recent. Interestingly, there was another Hague decision a few weeks ago where equivalence was on the table, but the division did not apply that Dutch-law test. We do not know yet why. The Mannheim division has written in one decision that it would be desirable to develop an autonomous pan-European test for equivalence, instead of just importing the German, UK or Dutch criteria. But they did not formulate such a test in that case because it was not necessary for the decision. So we will have to see how that evolves. On timelines, one practical difference is that Düsseldorf usually does not hold an interim conference. That saves them some time. Most other divisions do hold interim conferences. Personally, I like the idea because it can help clarify issues. But you cannot safely read the final outcome from these conferences. I have also seen cases where questions raised at the interim conference did not play any role in the main oral hearing. So they are useful for clarification, but not as a crystal ball. Front-loaded proceedings and typical strategic mistakes Rolf Claessen:If you look at the behaviour of parties so far – both patentees and defendants – what are the most common strategic mistakes you see in UPC litigation? And what would a well-prepared company do differently before the first statement of claim is ever filed? Aloys Hüttermann:You know you do not really want me to answer that question… Rolf Claessen:I do! Aloys Hüttermann:All right. The biggest mistake, of course, is that they do not hire me. That is the main problem. Seriously, it is difficult to judge parties' behaviour from the outside. You rarely know the full picture. There may be national proceedings, licensing discussions, settlement talks, and so on in the background. That can limit what a party can do at the UPC. So instead of criticising, I prefer to say what is a good idea at the UPC. The system is very front-loaded and very fast. If you are sued, you have three months to file your statement of defence and your counterclaim for revocation. In my view, three months are manageable – but only if you use the time wisely and do not waste it on things that are not essential. If you receive a statement of claim, you have to act immediately. You should have a clear strategy within maybe two or three weeks and then implement it. If you change your strategy every few weeks, chances are high that you will fail. Another point is that everything is front-loaded. It is very hard to introduce new documents or new attacks later. Some divisions have been a bit generous in individual cases, but the general line is strict. We have seen, for example, that even if you filed a book in first instance, you may not be allowed to rely on a different chapter from the same book for a new inventive-step attack at the appeal stage. That can be regarded as late-filed, because you could have done it earlier. There is also case law saying that if you first argue inventive step as “D1 plus D2”, and later want to argue “D2 plus D1”, that can already be considered a new, late attack. On the other hand, we had a revocation action where the plaintiff filed about 50 different inventive-step attacks in the initial brief. The division then said: this does not work. Please cut them down or put them in a clear hierarchy. In the end, not all of them were considered. The UPC does not conduct an ex officio examination. It is entitled to manage the case and to tell the parties to limit themselves in the interest of a fair and efficient procedure. Rolf Claessen:I have the feeling that the EPO is also becoming more front-loaded – if you want to rely on documents later, you should file them early. But it sounds like the UPC is even more extreme in that regard. Aloys Hüttermann:Yes, that is true. Protective letters, inspections and the defendant's perspective Rolf Claessen:Suppose someone from a company is listening now and thinks: “We might be exposed at the UPC,” or, “We should maybe use the UPC offensively against competitors.” What would you consider sensible first steps before any concrete dispute arises? And looking three to five years ahead, how central do you expect the UPC to become in global patent litigation compared to the US and China? Aloys Hüttermann:Let me start with the second part. I expect the UPC to become significantly more important. If we have around 200 cases this year, that is a good start, but it is still very small compared to, say, 4,000 to 5,000 patent cases per year in the US and 40,000 or so in China. Even François Bürgin and Klaus Grabinski, in interviews, have said that they are happy with the case load, but the potential is much larger. In my view, it is almost inevitable that we will see four or five times as many UPC cases in the not-too-distant future. As numbers grow, the influence of the UPC will grow as well. Whether, in five or ten years, companies will treat the UPC as their first choice forum – or whether they will usually run it in parallel with US litigation in major disputes – remains to be seen. The UPC would be well equipped for that: the territory it covers is large, Europe is still an important economy, and the UPC procedure is very attractive from a company's perspective. On sensible first steps: if you are worried about being sued, a protective letter can make a lot of sense – especially in divisions like Düsseldorf, where ex parte PIs are possible in principle. A protective letter is not very expensive in terms of court fees. There is also an internal system that ensures the court reads it before deciding on urgent measures. Of course, the content must have a certain quality; a poor protective letter can even backfire. If you are planning to sue someone before the UPC, you should be extremely well prepared when you file. You should already have all important documents and evidence at hand. As we discussed, it is hard to introduce new material later. One tool that is becoming more and more popular is inspection – not just at trade fairs, where we already saw cases very early, but also at company premises. Our firm has already handled such an inspection case. That is something you should keep in mind on both sides: it is a powerful evidence-gathering tool, but also a serious risk if you are on the receiving end. From the defendant's perspective, I do not think the UPC is unfair. If you do your job properly and put a solid revocation counterclaim on the table, then the patentee has only two months to prepare a full reply and all auxiliary requests. And there is a twist that makes life even harder for the patentee than at the EPO. At the EPO the question is mainly: do my auxiliary requests overcome the objections and are they patentable? At the UPC there is an additional layer: do I still have infringement under the amended claims? You may save your patent with an auxiliary request that no longer reads on the defendant's product. That is great for validity, but you have just lost the infringement case. You have kept the patent but lost the battle. And all of this under very tight time limits. That creates considerable pressure on both sides. How to contact Prof. Hüttermann Rolf Claessen:Thank you very much for this really great interview, Aloys. Inside our firm you have a nickname: “the walking encyclopedia of the Unified Patent Court” – because you have written so many books about it and have dealt with the UPC for such a long time. What is the best way for listeners to get in touch with you? Aloys Hüttermann:The easiest way is by email. You can simply write to me, and that is usually the best way to contact me. As you may have noticed, I also like to speak. I am a frequent speaker at conferences. If you happen to be at one of the conferences where I am on the programme – for example, next week in Hamburg – feel free to come up to me and ask me anything in person. But email is probably the most reliable first step. Rolf Claessen:Perfect. Thank you very much, Aloys. Aloys Hüttermann:Thank you. It was a pleasure to be on IP Fridays again. Some of your long-time listeners may remember that a few years ago – when you were not yet part of our firm – we already did an episode on the UPC, back when everything was still very speculative. It is great to be back now that the system is actually in place and working. Rolf Claessen:I am very happy to have you back on the show.

The 49ers are entrenched in the final NFC playoff spot as they prepare to face the Cleveland Browns. However, with low temperatures, high-winds, and possible perception forecast for Sunday's matchup, holding onto that precious wild card spot might be more complicated. Having lost their previous contest in Cleveland under similar conditions in 2023, San Francisco will be tasked with executing their offense more efficiently this time while mitigating current NFL sack leader Myles Garrett. On this episode of "49ers Talk," co-hosts Matt Maiocco and Jennifer Lee Chan discuss Brock Purdy's regression last week against the Panthers and how he and the 49ers' offense can minimize mistakes against familiar obstacles in inclement weather and a formidable pass-rush. Also, Matt and Jennifer provide injury updates, surprising takes on a San Francisco offensive line playing well under-the-radar and where the 49ers might look in the draft.

«Por lo tanto, echen mano de toda la armadura de Dios para que, cuando llegue el día malo, puedan resistir hasta el fin y permanecer firmes. Por tanto, manténganse firmes y fajados con el cinturón de la verdad, revestidos con la coraza de justicia, y con los pies calzados con la disposición de predicar el evangelio de la paz. Además de todo esto, protéjanse con el escudo de la fe, para que puedan apagar todas las flechas incendiarias del maligno. Cúbranse con el casco de la salvación, y esgriman la espada del Espíritu, que es la palabra de Dios» (Efesios 6:13-17) La Biblia nos enseña que como creyentes debemos ser una fuerza de ocupación del Señor hasta que Él regrese. En el campo militar, ocupar significa: "Tomar posesión o apoderarse de un territorio y sus tropas, invadiéndolo o instalándose en él". Para llevar a cabo esa tarea en una forma eficaz hasta que el Señor venga, la mayoría de nosotros tendrá que cambiar de actitud. Tendremos que tener presente que Jesucristo ya venció y ya obtuvo la victoria. Así es. Satanás fue derrotado y despojado en el Calvario; él es quien está a la defensiva, no nosotros. Es más, Jesucristo nos ha dado Su armadura y Su espada para mantener en su lugar a ese diablo derrotado. Podrás ser un debilucho de 45 kilos, pero si te revistes de la armadura de Dios, el diablo nunca lo notará. Huirá de ti como si fueras el mismo Jesucristo. Piénsalo. ¿Qué harías si fueras el diablo y te encontraras cara a cara con un creyente vestido con la armadura, el yelmo y las armas de Dios? Siempre y cuando ese creyente se limite a declarar las palabras de Dios, creerás que es el mismo Señor quien está dentro de la armadura. No se te olvide ninguno de los componentes de la armadura que se te ha provisto. Revístete con su totalidad. Haz que el diablo esté siempre a la defensiva—¡y participa de la fuerza de ocupación hasta que Jesús regrese!

Weźmy się za jajka. Polska - jest jednym z największych producentów i eksporterów jaj na świecie. Nie chodzi o te polityczne, ale kurze. Czyli tę cudowną żółtą kulkę, zanurzoną w przezroczystej plazmowatej mazi, a to wszystko obute w delikatną skorupkę. Piękniejszej definicji jaja nie znajdziecie. Przystępując do tematu: 40 procent polskiej produkcji jaj trafia na rynki zagraniczne. Nawet do Tajlandii. Ale też kupujemy jaja kurze z Ukrainy, Turcji, a nawet z Brazylii, tak zwane kochones. Za taki stan rzeczy nasz branża jajcarska wini przede wszystkim politykę Unii Europejskiej, bo unijne wymogi stawiane producentom jaj podnoszą ceną tego niemal kulistego zdrowego produktu. Nieustanne zaostrzanie przepisów dotyczących produkcji jaj daleko ponad standardy obowiązujące na świecie powoduje, że jajka nie unijne są dużo tańsze. Problem polskich jaj zatem leży w samej istocie biurokracji...

In the studio, it means showing up consistently, working through doubt, and carrying ideas to completion.The version of you that goes to the gym will be stronger than the version that doesn't. How much stronger depends on: the consistency of your workouts (refer to Frequency) and the quality of design in alignment with your goals (see The Piñata Method). The same holds true in the studio---consistency and intentional practice generate creative power.The Session Doesn't Count. The Streak Does.What we can lift today versus a year from now has less to do with what we accomplish in one session and everything to do with how many sessions we are able to link together.This is easy to forget if we don't feel ourselves getting stronger moment to moment. From one day or week to the next you may find that you are lifting the same weight, maybe even a little less. There's a recency bias inherent in this natural desire for fast results. We can't remember what it felt like a year ago, but we recognize that compared to yesterday, I'm not lifting any more than I did. The key here is to zoom out. And the longer the recorded history, the more we are able to see. The more we show up on a daily basis, the more recorded history we have in the future. Temperature doesn't increase every single day, but overall the planet is warmer. As you execute your strength training program according to a schedule aligned with your goals you will notice that it grows in a similar way.Trust the PracticeWe cannot control the rate of growth, but growth is inevitable when we are committed to the plan. If someone were to tell you that they are going to the gym five days a week and are expecting to be stronger a year from now, you wouldn't question that assumption. How is creative strength any different?Embracing this is powerful because when we understand that growth is happening, we can commit ourselves to the underlying practice.“But What About...?”Talent. I love this idea from Jerry Seinfeld: talent is like being gifted a thoroughbred horse. It's fast and powerful, but you have to learn to ride it. Unapplied and untrained talent will atrophy over time. Talent is a gift. Training is a choice. Regardless of how much talent you perceive yourself to have or lack, developing skill is your decision.Decay. If we can grow, we can shrink. In the never-ending quest for growth and improvement, it is easy to take what we have for granted. But, what we have gained is not retained if not maintained. If you miss a day or two at the gym, you probably won't notice much of a change. But extend this to a week, a month, or even a year and it becomes obvious. The perspective of decline and deterioration is equally powerful in its reminder that our ability is not a static trait.Plateaus. The paradox of skill development: the more skilled you become, the harder it is to improve. That said, plateaus aren't dead ends, they are firm ground for forward motion. They are platforms to internalize what you learn until it becomes automatic, generating momentum to carry you to the next level. With accumulated experience, you can refine your goals and adjust how you train. The plateau isn't where growth stops---it's where your next climb begins.Making bad music. No matter how much your skill level grows, you're not immune to making bad music. The music we share is always our “best of.” The most direct path to making good music is to make music often. Most of what you make will be bad---that's not a problem, that's the process that leads to your best work.As you head to the studio, start tracking one simple metric: How many sessions can you link together? Experimenting, sketching, finishing---they all count. The decisions are within your control. The outcomes will reveal themselves over time. Nothing is static---especially when it feels like it is. Show up. You are getting stronger even when you can't feel it. Get full access to ProducerHead at producerhead.substack.com/subscribe
V dnešním RECAPU druhé poloviny tabulky CHANCE ligy přivítíme brankářskou oporu Příbrami Martina Melichara, který prožil možná nejlepší půlrok kariéry.
Z Grzegorzem sieciach P2P, internecie oczami pokolenia Play Station oraz pomidorowych node'ach.W tym odcinku projektu Bujać siadamy na wiejskiej ławeczce pod orzechem i bez napinki rozmawiamy o wolności, lokalnych społecznościach i Bitcoinie – od filozofii P2P, przez węzły (nody) i mining na prąd ze słońca, po praktyczne bezpieczeństwo kluczy (m.in. seed XOR). Z podwarszawskiego ogrodu płynnie skręcamy w historię regionu (Sulejówek, poligon Piłsudskiego, bunkry w lasach, tradycja oporu), kulturę off‑grid i odpowiedzialność za własne słowa oraz energię. Mówimy o sensie prowadzenia własnego węzła (Bitcoin Knots vs. Core, filtry antyspamu, IBD), suwerenności energetycznej, edukacji zamiast pielgrzymek do „autorytetów”, a także o różnicy między Bitcoinem a „krypto”. Padają konkretne tipy: jak bezpieczniej robić kopie seedów, dlaczego warto wyjść z telewizora do realnej wspólnoty i czemu Bitcoin to pieniądz wolnych ludzi, bez pośredników, z ograniczoną podażą – egzekwowaną przez użytkowników.To swobodna, długa rozmowa – o tym, jak nie oddawać steru nad życiem instytucjom, jak budować lokalne kontrakty „na ławeczce”, jak używać energii (i ognia!) na własnych zasadach oraz jak przygotować się mentalnie i technicznie do świata, w którym wolność wymaga stałej, codziennej praktyki.

Dr Mateusz Piątkowski, ekspert prawa konfliktów zbrojnych, zastanawia się, czy amerykańska interwencja lotnicza w Wenezueli wystarczy do obalenia reżimu Nicolasa Maduro. Czy taka operacja bez wsparcia sił lądowych ma w ogóle szanse powodzenia? Nasz gość stara się także odpowiedzieć na pytanie z jakiego powodu Donaldowi Trumpowi potrzebna jest dzisiaj Wenezuela. Czy w tym konflikcie naprawdę chodzi tylko o ropę? Ponadto dr Piątkowski obszernie przedstawia historyczne tło stosunków amerykańsko-wenezuelskich. Zgodnie z duchem doktryny Monroe Waszyngton już od XIX wieku traktował Morze Karaibskie oraz Amerykę Środkową i Południową jako obszar swoich wpływów, co rodziło liczne konsekwencje także dla Wenezueli.
Pastor John Pérez, nos comparte: ¡Uno En Un Millón! – Milagro Tras Milagro (PT1)“MILAGRO TRAS MILAGRO”¿Piensas que nunca has experimentado un milagro en tu vida? Piénsalo otra vez.¡TU VIDA ES UN MILAGRO!En esta nueva serie exploraremos cómo Dios ha demostrado Su poder, Su amor y Su fidelidad a través de milagros que cambiaron la historia… y cómo esos mismos milagros siguen resonando en nuestras vidas hoy.Comprenderemos que Dios es más grande de lo que pensamos o percibimos; que está más cerca de lo que imaginamos; y que Su obra no se ha detenido.Albert Einstein dijo: “Sólo hay dos maneras de vivir tu vida: una, como si nada fuera un milagro; la otra, como si todo fuera un milagro.”Cada mensaje nos llevará a mirar más allá de lo natural, a reconocer la mano de Dios en medio de nuestras batallas, y a creer nuevamente que lo imposible es posible para Él.Nuestro deseo es que cada persona descubra que Dios nunca ha dejado —ni dejará— de moverse… Él sigue obrando MILAGRO TRAS MILAGRO. ¡Vive Hoy! y Escucha Ya!- EXPERIENCIA - TRANSFORMACIÓN – EMPODERAMIENTOhttps://www.facebook.com/775elcordero
Do Prahy přiletělo Bilbao a baskičtí hráči se jako rozjívené děti koulovali na letišti. Slavii čeká další zápas vyšňořené Ligy mistrů. Ale není zajímavější, co se děje za kulisami české ligy? Fotbalový podcast MVP odkrývá, co může způsobit miliardář Strnad a jeho „nová Plzeň“.Jen pár vět, které zazněly, když Viktoria Plzeň představovala svoji tvář pro budoucnost. Promluvil Adolf Šádek, sportovní manažer, který fotbalovou Viktorii před patnácti lety pomohl stvořit. Zažil šest titulů, čtyřikrát byl v Lize mistrů, taky ve čtvrtfinále Konferenční ligy a opakovaně v osmifinále Evropské ligy.„Teď začíná nová éra. Věřím, že bude ještě úspěšnější. Doufám, že budeme Pražáky i předhánět.“Nebo: „Věřím, že mám dobré náboje, abych dvěma tankům strkal do pásů něco jiného než klacek. Že mám dostatečnou munici na to, abych uměl odolávat síle pražských tanků.“Nebo: „Těším se, že si navlékneme rukavice a vstoupíme do ringu, protože konečně budeme ve stejné váhové kategorii jako kolegové z Prahy.“Že by Plzeň opravdu mohla ještě povýšit? Kam až? A proč je tak alergická na konkurenci z Prahy, ke které to má po dálnici pětatřicet minut?---Fotbal ze všech možných i nemožných úhlů pohledu.

I. Executive Summary: Securing Value and Certainty in the AI Supply ChainA. Overview of the Productisation Imperative (PI)The Productisation Imperative is an explicit, urgent call for every professional and organization to own, protect, and amplify their Experience, Expertise, Authoritativeness, and Trustworthiness (EEAT). This EEAT is defined as the most valuable data asset in the AI era. The PI mandates a critical pivot: value is no longer derived from the standardized output that AI can easily replicate, but from the structured source material—the Productised IQ.Productised IQ constitutes verified, compensated intelligence structured specifically to serve as high-quality source material for advanced AI systems. The implementation strategy involves transforming amorphous human expertise into clearly attributed, discoverable knowledge assets with robust compensation mechanisms. The ultimate impact of this transformation is the elimination of the systemic "zero-trust attribute" inherent in unverified AI outputs, allowing organizations to command premium pricing for Engineered Certainty.B. PIBM as the Strategic RoadmapThe strategic necessity of the PI is framed by a shrinking window of opportunity. As intelligent systems increasingly rely on strong EEAT signals for discoverability and recognition, intelligence that remains unstructured, uncompensated, or undiscoverable will effectively cease to exist in AI-mediated search and recommendation systems. The organizations that secure their survival over the next two years are predicted to be those that productise their intelligence before AI fully commoditizes their outputs.The PIBM framework serves both a diagnostic and a prescriptive function. Initially, the PIBM Case Study (November 2025) diagnosed the core failure pattern of the AI industry: the pervasive inability of AI companies to achieve profitability.
This week we dig into The Predictive Index and how tools like it can help leaders better understand the people on their team. Instead of guessing at strengths, motivations, or communication styles, PI creates a clearer picture of how someone naturally works — and how to set them up for success. We talk about why these insights matter, how they can guide hiring and coaching, and where they fit alongside culture, values, and real-world performance. At its core, this episode is about using data to support people, not define them. PI isn't a shortcut or a replacement for good leadership; it's a way to communicate better, set clearer expectations, and build teams that function with more empathy and alignment. When leaders combine tools like this with strong values and intentional culture, they create workplaces where people actually thrive.

Further reading: Mysterious ‘blue goo' at the bottom of the sea stumps scientists Three new species of ground snakes discovered under graveyards and churches in Ecuador Show transcript: Welcome to Strange Animals Podcast. I'm your host, Kate Shaw. I've come down a cold this week, and while I'm feeling better, it is settling into my chest as usual and I'm starting to cough. Since I'm still recovering and need to be in bed instead of sitting up researching animals, and since my voice is already sounding a little rough, here's a Patreon episode this week instead of a regular episode. I had been planning to run old Patreon episodes for a few weeks in December so I could have some time off for the holidays, and those were already scheduled, so I just moved one of those episodes up to use this week instead. This is a Patreon episode from October of 2022, where we talked about two very slightly spooky animal discoveries. We'll start with a suggestion from my brother Richard, about a strange newly discovered creature at the bottom of the ocean. On August 30, 2022, the NOAA Ocean Exploration research team was off the coast of Puerto Rico. That's in the Caribbean, part of the Atlantic Ocean. The expedition was mostly collecting data about the sea floor, including acoustic information and signs of climate change and habitat destruction. Since the Caribbean is an area of the ocean with high biodiversity but also high rates of fishing and trawling, the more we can learn about the animals and plants that live on the sea floor, the more we can do to help protect them. When a remotely operated vehicle dives, it sends video to a team of scientists who can watch in real time and control where the rover goes. On this particular day, the rover descended to a little over 1,300 feet deep, or around 407 meters, when the sea floor came in view. Since this area is the site of an underwater ridge, the sea floor varies by a lot, and the rover swam along filming things and taking samples of the water and so forth, sometimes as deep as about 2,000 feet, or 611 meters. The rover saw lots of interesting animals, including fish and corals of various types, even a fossilized coral reef. Then it filmed something the scientists had never seen before. It was a little blue blob sitting on the sea floor. It wasn't moving and it wasn't very big. It was shaped roughly like a ball but with little points or pimples all over it and a wider base like a skirt where it met the ground. And it was definitely pale blue in color. Then the rover saw more of the little blue blobs, quite a few of them in various places. The scientists think it may be a species of soft coral or possibly a type of sponge, possibly even a tunicate, which is also called a sea squirt. All these animals are invertebrates that don't move, which matches what little we know about the blue blob. The rover wasn't able to take a sample from one of the blue blobs, so for now we don't have anything to study except the video. But we know where the little blue blobs are, so researchers hope to visit them again soon and learn more about them. Next, let's return to dry land and learn about some newly discovered snakes. In fact, we're not just on dry land, we're way up high in the Andes Mountains in South America, specifically in some remote villages in Ecuador. A teacher named Diego Piñán moved to the town of El Chaco in 2013, and he started noticing dead snakes on the road that he didn't recognize. He also realized that people were killing the snakes on purpose. A lot of people are afraid of snakes, so Piñán made sure to teach his students about them so they would learn that most snakes aren't dangerous. He also kept the dead snakes he found and preserved them in alcohol so he could figure out later what species they were. But he never could figure it out. Then a scientist named Alejandro Arteaga assembled a team to study the animals found in remote areas of the...

Il y a des épisodes qu'on rêve un jour de pouvoir enregistrer et celui-ci en fait partie.Dans CHEFS, vous le savez, on remonte les histoires, on parle de transmission, de cuisines qui se construisent, de brigades qui se soudent…Mais là, on vous embarque au cœur d'un moment fondateur de la gastronomie française contemporaine.Il faut remonter à la fin des années 80, au début des années 90.À cette époque, personne ou presque ne va dîner dans un palace — à moins d'y dormir. Les grandes tables des hôtels ne sont pas encore des destinations gastronomiques.Et puis un jour, l'Hôtel de Crillon confie sa cuisine à un chef nommé Christian Constant.Ce dernier rappelle alors son poulain Yves Camdeborde qui lui présente Éric Frechon, et avec Christophe Felder, ils vont former la bande du Crillon!C'est le début d'une aventure qui va tout changer.Vous allez entendre comment cette équipe s'est formée, comment Christian Constant est allé chercher “des humains avant tout”, des professionnels capables d'affronter une maison vieillissante, aux installations fatiguées, dans un contexte difficile. Yves Camdeborde décrire l'arrivée au Crillon comme “une bouffée d'oxygène”, après une période compliquée à la Tour d'Argent On entend Christophe Felder se souvenir du premier rendez-vous, de “l'accueil franc”, de cette intuition immédiate que “ça allait être aidant, formateur, vivant”. On entend Éric Frechon dire le challenge qui se dressait devant eux.Et puis, il y a la suite : Le travail. L'amitié. La rigueur.Les bières après le service.Le management participatif de Constant, “en avance sur son temps”, disent-ils.Et les plats historiques, le pied de cochon, le maquereau, les gestes canailles qui entrent dans un décor signé Sonia Rykiel, et qui finissent par faire bouger toute la restauration parisienne.Dans cet échange on comprend quelque chose de fondamental : au Crillon, on a inventé une manière de cuisiner sous les dorures et surtout une manière d'être ensemble.Une manière qui a contribué à former une pléiade de chefs :Thierry Breton, Thierry Faucher, Emmanuel Renaut, Jean-François Piège, Jean-François Rouquette, Gilles Marchal…Tous passés par là, tous marqués par cet esprit où “la passion”, “l'exigence”, “la rigueur”, “le respect du client”, “la confiance” ne sont jamais négociables.Dans cet épisode, les quatre racontent : comment ils se sont retrouvés, comment ils ont tenu, comment ils ont évolué, comment ils ne se sont jamais vraiment quittés...C'est un moment rare.Une conversation précieuse, directe, drôle, vraie.Une plongée dans l'histoire, racontée par ceux qui l'ont vécue.Une masterclass de management, de transmission, et d'humilité.Alors je suis très heureux de vous proposer cet épisode.Parce qu'il n'est pas seulement un retour vers une époque mythique.C'est un rappel :que derrière les grandes maisons, il y a des collectifs,que derrière les étoiles, il y a des équipes,que derrière les chefs, il y a des hommes.Bienvenue dans un chapitre clé de la gastronomie française avec la bande du Crillon !

Vous voyez les naturalistes ? Ces gens passionnés par la nature, par la faune et la flore. On les imagine facilement avec une loupe, accroupis au bord d'un chemin pour identifier un champignon ou traquer la petite bête sur une fleur.Le naturalisme travaille surtout à l'échelle des espèces et des populations, pas à celle des individus. L'objectif, c'est de comprendre comment un écosystème fonctionne, comment les espèces interagissent, comment les équilibres se maintiennent. Une approche scientifique, descriptive, très liée au terrain, et qui a énormément fait avancer notre connaissance de la biodiversité.Mais c'est précisément là que ça devient intéressant :qui protège-t-on quand on est naturaliste ? Les espèces ? Les paysages ? Ou les individus qui vivent dedans ?C'est exactement cette faille-là que Pierre Rigaux interroge dans son nouveau livre, L'androsace et le cochon aux éditions Delachaux et Niestlé paru à la rentrée — et je peux vous dire qu'il ne le fait pas à moitié. Car Pierre Rigaux est lui-même un écologue-naturaliste chevronné, avec 20 ans d'expérience de terrain derrière lui. Il est aussi militant écologiste et pour la cause animale. Autant dire idéalement placé pour bousculer les représentations mainstream de son propre milieu, et repenser en profondeur la façon dont on conçoit l'écologie.

Brock Purdy's return sparked the 49ers' offense, it also brought a much needed divisional win in a blowout against the Cardinals. Purdy threw for three touchdowns on Sunday, two of which went to a favorite target in tight end George Kittle and the other went to offensive fulcrum Christian McCaffrey, who leads the NFL in scrimmage yards this season through Week 11. Skyy Moore set the tone, returning the opening kickoff 98 yards to the 1-yard line, setting up a McCaffrey 1-yard touchdown run. San Francisco maintained control throughout the game, one in which Arizona did itself no favors accumulating a franchise-record 17 penalties. San Francisco did not escape Arizona unscathed though, as kicker Eddy Piñeiro suffered a hamstring injury in the third quarter that could force the team to bring in a new kicker. On this episode of '49ers Talk,' co-hosts Matt Maiocco and Jennifer Lee Chan break down San Francisco's outstanding performance against the Cardinals Sunday at State Farm Stadium. Matt and Jennifer discuss the impact of Purdy's return on the 49ers' offense during a crucial stretch, Kittle and CMC's dominance, and how injuries to both Piñeiro and linebacker Tatum Bethune might affect the team ahead of Monday's showdown with the Carolina Panthers.--(0:00) 49ers did what they had to do to get win vs. Cardinals(3:00) Will the 49ers have to add a kicker because of Eddy Piñeiro's injury?(4:00) Brock Purdy's return dispels any QB controversy from media(12:00) Can CMC achieve 1,000-1,000 season?(14:00) This is the healthiest the 49ers have been on offense all season(17:30) The 49ers' defense forced three takeaways(25:00) What type of team are the 49ers?

In this episode of Zero to CEO, I chat with background-check pioneer Steven Ward, founder of GuardianBGI, about how he transformed a solo PI gig into a national investigative firm reshaping law enforcement hiring. Steven reveals what really goes on behind the scenes of police background checks, how outdated systems can put entire communities at risk, and why new technology is essential for modern screening. We also dive into how GuardianBGI scaled in a heavily regulated industry and the startup lessons Steven learned along the way.
