Buckle up, folks, because we're diving headfirst into a political circus so absurd it could double as a reality TV plot twist! Imagine a world where politicians spin tales so wild they'd make Pinocchio blush, only to have their own wallets—and voters—call their bluff. That's the rollercoaster ride we're on today as Democrats, long champions of open borders and free handouts, are suddenly forced to foot the bill for the very illegals they swore wouldn't cost a dime. The hypocrisy? It's as thick as a California fog and twice as insulting. Let's peel back the curtain on this comedy of errors, where Gavin Newsom and J.B. Pritzker are learning the hard way that fairy tales don't pay the bills.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

E' finita la scuola! Pinocchio raccoglie testimonianze di studenti, genitori e insegnanti per capire come lo stiamo affrontando.

In the lead up to this Friday’s Perth Pub Crawl at Pinocchio’s Tom Jennis (Clutch Cargo) took us on a trip down memory lane. Lisa recalls seeing the band back in the day and asked after a toy that Tom used to take everywhere. No stone was left unturned as Tom discussed his David Bowie tribute show and the cruise ship lifestyle. Clairsy asked about the band’s appearance on Hey, Hey It’s Saturday and Tom revealed why it almost didn’t happen. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

After Roger Cook suggested a change to the date of WA Day, Clairsy & Lisa took calls and texts on the topic ‘What should we have another public holiday for? Elliot Yeo dropped in to chat about the Eagles loss to the kangaroos, their expectations for this weekend’s game against Carlton and most importantly.. . how fatherhood is going. Nicholas Hammond popped in to give the team the inside scoop on his latest role in the play ‘And Then There Were None’ as well the upcoming 60th anniversary of The Sound of Music and his keen interest in the ‘Mushroom Murder’ trial. Ahead of Clairsy & Lisa’s Perth Pub Crawl at Pinocchio’s this Friday, John Webster and Dave Cook (The Motors) came into the studio for a coffee and to talk about their Almost Famous style emergency plane landing, their first gig at The Herdsman and other rock n roll moments.

Non tutti sanno che era appassionato di narrativa popolare, e scrisse molte fiabe originali che vennero pubblicate sul Corriere dei Piccoli.Ma il Corriere dei Piccoli non era davvero per bambini. O meglio, in parte sì ma era rivolto in realtà a chiunque cercasse un po' di svago e di fantasia. Tra l'altro,  ospitava le prime 'storie a fumetti', una novità assoluta. Le storie fantastiche di Guido Gozzano  sono molto diverse da quelle della tradizione italiana moraleggiante e didattica, per esempio quella di Pinocchio,  perché dichiaratamente s'ispirano al mondo magico delle fiabe dei Fratelli Grimm.Si tratta quindi sempre di grande letteratura, in cui il poeta forse trova la migliore espressione della sua vena spensierata nella creazione di un mondo fantastico in cui rifugiarsi.Questa fiaba in origine s'intitolava semplicemente Nonsò, e forse si può notare un cambiamento d'intenzione narrativa 'in corso d'opera' dell'autore, che parte concentrandosi sul nome del bambino ma che poi lascia insoluto il mistero della sua origine per seguire prima la vicenda della principessa e poi, all'ultimo, introdurre l'elemento magico della stregoneria.Storie tradizionali, favole e fiabe, leggende popolari.

Hola mi gente! Today we are going to read, translate and explain The Story of Pinocchio in Spanish. It is one of the most popular stories and it will be interesting to do it in Spanish. I will be reading the story in Spanish very slowly and you will try to understand word by word. You will be learning some interesting words and new vocabulary and also you will be improving your listening skills in Spanish. I will translate the story in English and then read in Spanish again in a normal speed but explaining some words at the same time.. Donate with PayPal:https://www.paypal.com/paypalme/spanishwithdennisYou can buy me a cup of coffee here:https://www.buymeacoffee.com/spanishwithdennisThe Story:Érase una vez un anciano carpintero llamado Gepeto que era muy feliz haciendo juguetes de madera para los niños de su pueblo.Un día, hizo una marioneta de una madera de pino muy especial y decidió llamarla Pinocho. En la noche, un hada azul llegó al taller del anciano carpintero:—Buen Gepeto —dijo mientras el anciano dormía—, has hecho a los demás tan felices, que mereces que tu deseo de ser padre se haga realidad. Sonriendo, el hada azul tocó la marioneta con su varita mágica:—¡Despierta, pequeña marioneta hecha de pino… despierta! ¡El regalo de la vida es tuyo!Y en un abrir y cerrar de ojos, el hada azul dio vida a Pinocho.—Pinocho, si eres valiente, sincero y desinteresado, algún día serás un niño de verdad —dijo el hada azul—. Luego se volvió hacia un grillo llamado Pepe Grillo, que vivía en la alacena de Gepeto.—Pepe Grillo — dijo el hada azul—, debes ayudar a Pinocho. Serás su conciencia y guardián del conocimiento del bien y del mal.Al día siguiente, Gepeto envió con orgullo a su pequeño niño de madera a la escuela, pero como era tan pobre, tuvo que vender su abrigo para comprar los libros escolares:—Pinocho, Pepe Grillo te mostrará el camino —dijo Gepeto—. Por favor, no te distraigas y llega a la escuela a tiempo.Pinocho salió de casa, pero nunca llegó a la escuela. En cambio, decidió ignorar los consejos de Pepe Grillo y vender los libros para comprar un tiquete para el teatro de marionetas. Cuando Pinocho comenzó a bailar con las marionetas, el titiritero sorprendido con las habilidades del niño de madera, le preguntó si quería unirse a su espectáculo de marionetas. Pinocho aceptó alegremente.Sin embargo, las intenciones del malvado titiritero eran muy diferentes; su plan era hacerse rico con la única marioneta con vida en el mundo. De inmediato, encerró a Pinocho y a Pepe Grillo en una jaula. Fue entonces que Pinocho reconoció su error y comenzó a llorar. El hada azul apareció de la nada.Aunque el hada azul conocía las razones por las cuales Pinocho se encontraba atrapado, aun así, le preguntó:—Pinocho, ¿por qué estás en esta jaula?Pero Pinocho no quiso contarle la verdad, entonces algo extraño sucedió. Su nariz comenzó a crecer más y más. Cuanto más hablaba, más crecía.—Cada vez que digas una mentira, tu nariz crecerá — dijo el hada azul.—Por favor, haz que se detenga—dijo Pinocho—, prometo no mentir de nuevo.Al día siguiente, camino a la escuela, Pinocho conoció a un niño:—Ven conmigo al País de los Juguetes. ¡En este lugar todos los días son vacaciones! —dijo el niño con emoción—. Hay juguetes y golosinas y lo mejor de todo, ¡no tienes que ir a la escuela!Olvidando nuevamente los consejos del hada azul y Pepe Grillo, Pinocho salió corriendo con el niño al País de los Juguetes. Al llegar, se divirtió muchísimo jugando y comiendo golosinas.De pronto, las orejas de Pinocho y los otros niños del País de los Juguetes comenzaron a hacerse muy largas. Por no querer ir a la escuela, ¡se estaban convirtiendo en burros!Convertidos en burros, Pinocho y los niños llegaron a un circo. El maestro de ceremonias hizo que Pinocho trabajara para el circo sin descanso. Allí, Pinocho se lastimó la pierna mientras hacía trucos. Enojado, el maestro de ceremonias lo tiró al mar junto con Pepe Grillo.En el agua, el hechizo se rompió y Pinocho volvió a su forma de marioneta, pero una ballena que nadaba cerca abrió su enorme boca y se lo tragó entero. En la oscuridad del estómago de la ballena, Pinocho lloró mientras que Pepe Grillo intentaba consolarlo. Fue en ese momento que vio a Gepeto en su bote:—Hijo mío, te estaba buscando por tierra y mar cuando la ballena me tragó. ¡Estoy tan contento de haberte encontrado! —dijo Gepeto.Los dos se abrazaron encantados.—De ahora en adelante seré bueno y responsable—, prometió Pinocho entre lágrimas.Aprovechando que la ballena dormía, Gepeto, Pinocho y Pepe Grillo prendieron una fogata dentro de ella y saltaron de su enorme boca cuando el fuego la hizo estornudar. Luego, navegaron hasta llegar a casa. Pero Gepeto cayó enfermo, Pinocho lo alimentó y cuidó con mucho esmero y dedicación.—Papá, iré a la escuela y trabajaré mucho para llenarte de orgullo— dijo Pinocho.Cumpliendo su promesa, Pinocho estudió mucho en la escuela. Entonces un día sucedió algo maravilloso. El hada azul apareció y le dijo:—Pinocho, eres valiente, sincero y tienes un corazón bondadoso y desinteresado, mereces convertirte en un niño de verdad.Y fue así como el niño de madera se convirtió en un niño de verdad. Gepeto y Pinocho vivieron felices para siempre.My new Discord server and chat and you can already join and write to me there:https://discord.gg/HWGrnmTmyCMy new Telegram channel and you can already join and write to me or comment there:https://t.me/SpanishwithDennisJoin my Patreon:https://www.patreon.com/spanishwithdennisSupport me by joining my podcasts supporter club on Spreaker:https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/slow-spanish-language--5613080/supportDonate with Boosty:https://boosty.to/spanishwithdennis/donateDonate with Donation Alerts:https://www.donationalerts.com/r/dennisespinosaDonate with Crypto currency:Bitcoin (BTC)1DioiGPAQ6yYbEgcxEFRxWm5hZJcfLG9V6USDT (ERC20)0xeb8f678c0b8d37b639579662bf653be762e60855USDT (TRC20)TXoQwsaiTGBpWVkyeigApLT8xC82rQwRCNEthereum (ETH)0xeb8f678c0b8d37b639579662bf653be762e60855If you have any other suggestions or recommendations on what other platform you can support me and my podcasts, please let me know.

Vì sao khi nói dối mũi Pinocchio lại dài ra?Hẳn đứa trẻ nào cũng đều từng nghe về câu chuyện cậu bé người gỗ Pinocchio biếng học, ham chơi, dễ bị xúi bẩy, và mỗi lần nói dối, mũi của cậu sẽ dài ra. Chi tiết này cũng được coi là biểu tượng kinh điển của văn học thiếu nhi và là hiện thân sinh động cho bài học về sự trung thực. Điều này đã ám ảnh và đi sâu vào tiềm thức của nhiều điều đứa bé, ngay cả mình hồi đó cũng đã từng tin: khi nói dối, chóp mũi sẽ bị kéo dài bất thường và mình sẽ bị phát hiện.Dám cá là chúng ta, cũng ít nhất đôi lần nói dối. Khi được hỏi “Bạn dạo này ổn không?” ngoài đời thật, hầu hết chúng ta theo phản xạ đều trả lời là “Cũng ổn". Ta hiểu rằng câu hỏi chỉ là một câu chào xã giao, không phải là lời mời để bàn về những thất vọng trong nghề nghiệp, khó khăn trong tình cảm, hoặc tình trạng bệnh tật của chúng ta. Nhưng câu trả lời né tránh này có thực sự được coi là nói dối hay không? Ẩn sâu sau những "lời nói dối" ấy là gì? Một nửa của sự thật, liệu có còn là sự thật hay không? Hãy cùng chúng mình đi tìm "sự thật" trong tập podcast ngày hôm nay nhé!

While we've had the chance to learn of Pinocchio, it's time to get a chance to learn about the woman who made it all happen: The Blue Fairy.

La settimana di Pinocchio inizia con un mix di notizie: l'odore dei teenager, l'ascesa del ginseng, il metaphone per combattere la dipendenza da telefono e, ovviamente, i gossip della Vale.

La settimana di Pinocchio si chiede con una domanda: Ciao, che fate?

This week, the Disneyland 70th has officially arrived, we talk about all the new things, a missing feature of Adventureland has returned, an alien has been a menace at Disneyland, changes to the Animation Academy, we talk about our upcoming trip to the parks and other destinations this time, and more! Please support the show if you can by going to https://www.dlweekly.net/support/. Check out all of our current partners and exclusive discounts at https://www.dlweekly.net/promos. News: The Disneyland 70th finally kicked off on Friday. While the lines for merchandise, 70th experiences, and food were longer than usual, the lines for attractions were very off-season feeling. Rise of the Resistance had a 35 minute standby wait at 4pm, and Space Mountain had a 40 minute wait. – https://www.micechat.com/415359-disneyland-update-celebrate-70-and-build-a-better-tomorrowland/ The 70th castle sculpture in the esplanade revealed an interesting twist this week – it is a music box! At least that is what is sounds like. Different, music box versions of Disney songs play throughout the day for passing guests. – https://www.micechat.com/415359-disneyland-update-celebrate-70-and-build-a-better-tomorrowland/ The new Disney Jr. Mickey Mouse Clubhouse Live show has debuted in the Disney Theatre in Disney California Adventure. The new show is a big upgrade from the last show in the theatre, and is still geared towards younger kids, with seating on the floor only. The show features characters, bubbles, snow, disco lighting, and more. Unlike the previous show, Mickey and Minnie are present throughout the show. – https://www.micechat.com/415359-disneyland-update-celebrate-70-and-build-a-better-tomorrowland/ After over two years, a part of Adventureland has returned in a different form. The Adventureland restrooms across from the entrance to the land have finally lost the not very temporary wall. The wall was put up over two years ago to cover the damage from a burst water pipe. The new wall features some plants, a highly-themed water fountain, and a dividing wall that matches the nearby building. – https://www.micechat.com/415359-disneyland-update-celebrate-70-and-build-a-better-tomorrowland/ The new live action Lilo & Stitch movie is coming to theaters on May 23rd, and Stitch has stopped by Disneyland to celebrate.

La nuova settimana di Pinocchio inizia con un mix di notizie: i gossip della Vale e tutto sulla faida nella famiglia Beckham, il massaggio all'ombelico, il "Lulicore" e tanti altri temi esclusivi.

The Out of Tune InstrumentsOn the bank of a stream, where a great many colorful little fish swam, lived a small family: mamma, babbo, and their seven children — four boys and three girls. Their house was a bit far from the town of Strumentopoli, but being close to the stream and next to the Great Forest made it a wonderful place to live.Mamma lovingly tended the vegetable garden. Babbo, on the other hand, was a woodworker who crafted musical instruments from the finest trunks, chosen among the sturdiest and most fragrant trees in the forest.The children went to school in the village. In winter, they reached it on skis, while in spring and autumn they rode in a cart pulled by two young deer — one white and one black, like the keys of a piano.Before they left, babbo counted them one by one to make sure no one was missing. Then, as he did every day, he reminded them:“Behave yourselves, don't skip school, and remember the tale of Pinocchio and his nose!”Those words always ended with a smile from everyone.Babbo would then return to his workshop. His instruments were well-made, using excellent materials, but there was one problem: they were out of tune. Still, as a good luthier, he didn't lose heart. His passion for music was so strong that teaching his children to play had become a joy. He even gave them special names: Chitarra, Violino, Oboe, Liuto, Arpa, Bongo, and Ukulele.Mamma didn't object. Of course, naming them after vegetables might have been funny, but their village friends probably would've made fun of them.The children did well in school, and when they came home, they helped mamma in the garden. One day, though, they mistook some nettle plants for lettuce — what a sting! They all ran straight to the stream and jumped in to soothe the burning.The little fish burst into laughter:“You're so silly! Ah ah ah!”Mamma helped them out of the water and, turning to the fish, said:“This evening, at sunset, there will be a concert in our courtyard. My children will perform with their instruments. You're all invited!”The fish replied enthusiastically:“Thanks for the invitation! We'll be there for sure — it's going to rain, and we love splashing! Splich, sploch, splach!”That evening turned out to be a real party. At the concert of slightly strange and delightfully quirky music, everyone had a blast: the musicians, the animals from the forest, and even the fish — who mamma cheerfully sprayed with water.After that joyful evening, life went back to its usual pace: school, garden, and even the forest. In fact, during their free time, the children often helped babbo choose and cut wood to build his instruments.The Great Forest had become familiar to them. So one day, while they were playing there and climbing trees, the kids spotted a group of gnomes huddled together, looking agitated. They quickly hid behind some bushes to observe and listen in on their conversation.The meeting, called in great haste, was to make a decision about an imminent danger. A powerful storm was on the way. They spoke of a hurricane wind that hadn't been seen or heard in a hundred years — or perhaps even longer — and it was heading for the forest.“We must stop it, by any means,” said the gnomes.So they decided to call on an old ally: the Great Warrior of the Mountain, armed with a sword and magical powers. He was the one who, in the past, had already defeated dragons and even extraterrestrials who had tried to conquer Earth.The seven children, alarmed by the news and determined to help in the battle, ran quickly back to the house — also to warn the villagers of the impending danger. Meanwhile, the wind drew closer. You could hear it from afar — wild and howling. As it passed, the trees bent until their tops brushed the ground. Some swayed, others snapped, and a few were completely uprooted.The people of Strumentopoli, who had begun to feel the wind blowing through the village streets and saw the Great Warrior descending the mountain, grew concerned — but they didn't panic. Everyone grabbed their instruments and rushed toward the house by the stream to help the family who lived there, and together try to save the Great Forest.At the same time, the colorful fish arrived — united and determined — along with the other animals of the woods and stream.“All together we can form a barrier and block the wind!” they shouted in unison.At that moment, the children of the family — still out of breath from running — stepped forward and said:“We have our babbo's instruments too. They're strange, a bit out of tune… but if we all play together, maybe we can stop the storm.” And with that, they rushed into the house and came back out in no time at all.The gnomes, fully aware of the instruments' flaws, cast a powerful musical spell. When the children began to play, something magical happened. For the first time, the music was melodious, harmonious, and full of feeling.One by one, all the people of Strumentopoli joined in. Each person, with their own instrument, contributed as if they were all part of one great orchestra.The hurricane wind — engaged in a fierce battle with the Great Warrior of the Mountain — heard the music from afar and immediately began to calm. Its howling softened, and by the time it reached the forest, it had become a cool mountain gust, and finally… a gentle valley breeze.The wind had become part of that marvelous orchestra — the battle was won thanks to everyone. Each had offered their own music and helped bring about the victory.“United we are strong,” they all said proudly.The babbo luthier continued building instruments with the finest wood the forest had to offer. They were so beautiful and sounded so good that people said they were the most melodic ever heard.The children — Chitarra, Violino, Oboe, Liuto, Arpa, Bongo, and Ukulele — joined the village band. At every festival, they played with great success, cheered on by applause and warm smiles. Even the gnomes and the Great Warrior listened to their music… from the forest and the mountain.The colorful fish swam and danced happily in the stream, and when someone passed by, they greeted them with joyful splashes.The family continued to live near the Great Forest, and on summer evenings, when everything finally grew quiet, they would lie along the stream and watch the stars above. Their hearts would tell stories… and the night would write the happy ending of every tale.

Strumenti StonatiSulla riva di un ruscello, dove nuotava una gran quantità di pesciolini di tutti i colori, abitava una famigliola: mamma, babbo e sette figlioli — quattro maschietti e tre femminucce.La loro casa era un po' distante dal paese di Strumentopoli, ma vicini al ruscello e accanto al Grande Bosco ci si stava proprio bene.La mamma coltivava con cura le verdure nell'orto. Il babbo, invece, era un artigiano del legno e creava strumenti musicali con i tronchi migliori, scelti tra gli alberi più solidi e profumati del bosco.I ragazzi andavano a scuola in paese. In inverno ci arrivavano con gli sci, mentre in primavera e autunno viaggiavano su un carretto trainato da due cerbiatti — uno bianco e uno nero, come le note del pianoforte. Prima della partenza, il babbo li contava uno per uno per assicurarsi che nessuno mancasse. Poi, come ogni giorno, si raccomandava“Comportatevi bene, non marinate la scuola e ricordatevi la favola di Pinocchio e del suo naso!”A quelle parole si salutavano tutti con un sorriso.Il babbo tornava poi al suo lavoro. I suoi strumenti erano costruiti con cura e ottimo materiale, ma c'era un problema: erano stonati. Da buon liutaio, però, non si scoraggiava e la sua passione per la musica era così grande che insegnare ai figli a suonare era stato un divertimento. Aveva perfino scelto per loro nomi speciali: Chitarra, Violino, Oboe, Liuto, Arpa, Bongo e Ukulele.La mamma non fece obiezione. D'altronde, chiamarli con i nomi delle verdure sarebbe stato simpatico, ma forse i loro amici del paese li avrebbero presi in giro.I bambini erano bravi a scuola, e quando tornavano a casa, si davano da fare nell'orto, aiutando la mamma. Un giorno, però, scambiarono delle piantine di ortica per lattuga: che pizzicore! E allora via tutti di corsa, un tuffo nel ruscello per rinfrescarsi e calmare il bruciore. I pesciolini si sbellicavano dalle risate:“Ma siete proprio sciocchi! Ah ah ah!”La mamma li aiutò a uscire dall'acqua e, rivolta ai pesci, disse:“Stasera, al tramonto, ci sarà un concerto nel cortile di casa. Si esibiranno i miei figli con i loro strumenti. Siete tutti invitati!”I pesci risposero con entusiasmo:“Bene, grazie per l'invito! Arriveremo fin lì, tanto pioverà e sguazzare si potrà. Splich, sploch, splach!”Quella sera fu una vera festa. Al concerto di musica un po' strana e strampalata, tutti si divertirono da matti: i musicisti, gli animali arrivati dal bosco, e pure i pesci — che la mamma provvedeva a spruzzare con l'acqua.Dopo quella serata allegra, la vita riprese tranquilla, tra scuola, orto e anche il bosco. Infatti, nel tempo libero, a volte ci andavano ad aiutare il babbo a scegliere e tagliare il legno per costruire i suoi strumenti. Il Grande Bosco era ormai un luogo familiare per loro. Così, un giorno, mentre ci giocavano arrampicandosi sugli alberi, i ragazzini videro un gruppo di gnomi che complottavano irrequieti. Si nascosero dietro a dei cespugli, ad osservare e ascoltare i loro discorsi.La riunione, convocata in gran fretta, era per prendere una decisione su un pericolo imminente. C'era una pericolosa tempesta in arrivo. Si parlava di un vento d'uragano che non si era mai visto né sentito da cent'anni — o forse più — e che stava per raggiungere il bosco.“Bisogna fermarlo, con ogni mezzo,” dicevano gli gnomi.Così, decisero di chiedere aiuto a un vecchio alleato: il Grande Guerriero Della Montagna, armato di spada e poteri magici. Colui che in passato aveva già sconfitto draghi e perfino extraterrestri che volevano conquistare la Terra.I sette bambini, allarmati dalla notizia e decisi ad aiutare nella battaglia, corsero velocemente verso casa, anche per avvisare gli abitanti del villaggio del pericolo incombente. Intanto il vento si avvicinava. Si sentiva da lontano: era selvaggio e ululante. Al suo passaggio, gli alberi si piegavano fino a sfiorare il suolo. Alcuni ondeggiavano, altri si spezzavano o venivano sradicati.Gli abitanti di Strumentopoli, che cominciavano a sentire il vento per le strade del paese e videro il Grande Guerriero scendere dalla montagna, si allarmarono, ma non si fecero prendere dal panico. Ognuno prese il loro strumento e tutti si misero a correre verso la casa sul ruscello per aiutare la famiglia che ci viveva e insieme a loro provare a salvare il Grande Bosco.Allo stesso tempo anche i pesciolini colorati arrivarono, uniti e determinati, e così fecero anche gli altri animali del bosco e del ruscello:“Tutti insieme possiamo formare una barriera e bloccare il vento!” Dissero all'unisono.A quel punto, anche i ragazzini della famiglia, rientrati affannati dalla corsa, si fecero avanti e dissero:“Anche noi abbiamo gli strumenti musicali del babbo; sono strani, un po' stonati… ma se li suoniamo tutti insieme, forse riusciremo a fermare la bufera.” E così dicendo entrarono in casa e tornarono in un battibaleno.Gli gnomi, conoscendo bene i limiti di quegli strumenti, con un incantesimo misero in atto una magia musicale molto potente.Quando i ragazzini iniziarono a suonare, accadde qualcosa di speciale. La musica, per la prima volta, fu melodiosa, armonica e coinvolgente. Ad uno ad uno anche tutti gli abitanti di Strumentopoli si aggregarono ed ognuno con il proprio strumento contribuì come se tutti fossero parte di una grande orchestra. Il vento d'uragano, che era impegnato in un combattimento furioso con il Grande Guerriero Della Montagna, la sentì da lontano e immediatamente cominciò a calmarsi. Il suo ululare iniziò a moderare di potenza e quando arrivò vicino al bosco era una fresca tramontana che, infine, si trasformò in una dolce brezza di valle. Il vento ora era divenuto parte di quella meravigliosa orchestra — la battaglia era stata vinta per merito di tutti. Ognuno aveva offerto la propria musica e aveva contribuito al successo. L'unione fa la forza. Dissero tutti insieme, soddisfatti.Il babbo liutaio continuò a costruire strumenti con i legni più pregiati offerti dal bosco. Erano talmente belli e suonavano così bene che si diceva fossero i più melodiosi mai ascoltati.I figli — Chitarra, Violino, Oboe, Liuto, Arpa, Bongo e Ukulele — entrarono a far parte della banda del paese. Ad ogni festa, suonavano con successo, tra applausi e sorrisi. Anche gli gnomi e il Grande Guerriero ascoltavano la loro musica… dal bosco e dalla montagna. I pesciolini colorati nuotavano e danzavano felici nel ruscello e quando qualcuno passava di lì, lo salutavano con allegri schizzi: “Splish! Splosh! Splash!”La famiglia continuò a vivere vicino al grande bosco e nelle sere d'estate, quando finalmente tutto diventava silenzioso, si sdraiavano lungo la riva del ruscello e guardavano le stelle in cielo. I loro cuori raccontavano… e la notte scriveva il lieto fine delle favole.-- Scritta da Lucia & Marco Ciappelli  Each story is currently written and narrated in both Italian and English.The translation from Italian (the original language) to English and the reading of the stories are performed using Generative Artificial Intelligence — which perhaps has a touch of magic...

Ale Guzzetti"Sguardi diversi"Quando i robot incontrarono gli antichi DeiFino al 06 Giugno 2025Milano, Fondazione Mudima, Via Tadino 26http://www.mudima.netQuando i robot incontrarono gli antichi Dei, è il titolo della mostra personale di Ale Guzzetti organizzata da Fondazione Mudima a Milano, dal 6 maggio al 6 giugno 2025. Curata da Gino Di Maggio, l'esposizione ripercorre la lunga parabola creativa dell'artista, tra i primi in Italia a sondare il binomio arte e tecnologia.A partire dai primi anni Ottanta Guzzetti ha intrapreso una proficua ricerca creativa volta a esplorare i territori dell'arte elettronica e interattiva, fino a indagare le potenzialità della robotica, della stampa 3D e delle scansioni digitali. La mostra presenta un nucleo di opere emblematiche del suo percorso pionieristico, sculture e installazioni in cui figure plastiche e circuiti elettronici istituiscono un rapporto attivo con lo spettatore, costantemente stimolato a diventare co-produttore delle opere stesse.«Il lavoro di Ale Guzzetti si propone di far convivere arte e scienza aprendo - tra i primi artisti al mondo - un nuovo percorso artistico in cui i materiali utilizzati diventano essi stessi linguaggio specifico. Sono opere interattive, ma a differenza di quanto già accaduto nella storia dell'arte, le sue creazioni sono autonome. È il caso dei suoi lavori più recenti dedicati alla robotica, in cui le sculture non sono solo osservabili, ma a loro volta ci osservano, o osservano altre sculture. Per gli esseri umani è una situazione nuova, forse inquietante, perché non siamo ancora preparati a dialogare, per lo meno con lo sguardo, con una presenza artificiale. Ma la presenza c'è e come, e fin da subito dobbiamo, noi umani, decidere se prestarci a un gioco a cui ancora non siamo pronti» commenta il curatore Gino Di Maggio.Accogliendo la sfida della complessità, teorizzata dall'epistemologo Edgar Morin, e collaborando con filosofi come Mauro Ceruti e Gianluca Bocchi - principali cultori in Italia della scienza della complessità - Guzzetti concepisce l'opera d'arte come un vero e proprio ecosistema, frutto delle interrelazioni con l'ambiente e delle connessioni che stabilisce con i fruitori.  Sin dalle prime sperimentazioni, le sue opere si configurano come oggetti “senzienti”: è il caso delle Sculture sonore, a cui l'artista inizia a lavorare nel 1983, aggregazioni di oggetti in plastica (bottiglie, boe, tubi) che ospitano circuiti elettronici o dispositivi luminosi in grado di emettere rumori, voci e luci, a seconda del contatto, diretto o indiretto, con i visitatori.Le creature di Guzzetti sono “organismi tecnologici” in grado di dissolvere confini e limiti consolidati: quelli tra il mondo naturale e artificiale, tra spiritualità e tecnologia, classicità e modernità, passato e presente. Nelle sue opere sfuma la contrapposizione fra la sacralità dell'arte, che intimorisce e allontana, e l'ironia, che invita al coinvolgimento, al gioco e alla partecipazione. È il caso della serie Robot Portraits, caricature robotiche di personaggi famosi, reali o immaginari, inseriti all'interno di grandi cornici baroccheggianti. Profili di visi in resina e circuiti di Dante, Cleopatra, Cyrano, Federico da Montefeltro, Pinocchio, caratterizzati da grandi occhi tecnologici, grazie alla presenza di sensori, scrutano con curiosità ogni movimento. Tra le sculture e gli spettatori si instaura così un originale gioco di sguardi che sovverte continuamente le dinamiche tradizionali tra osservatore e oggetto osservato.I robot di Guzzetti ci sfidano e ci ri-guardano, desiderosi di stabilire un rapporto empatico con lo spettatore, e talvolta tra di loro. Nella serie Affective Robots, ad esempio, busti robotici o scultorei anelano a interagire l'uno con l'altro e a scambiarsi gesti affettuosi come in Impossible Kiss (2012) dove due volti umanoidi trasparenti tentano di entrare in contatto come due amanti colti nell'atto di scambiarsi un bacio. Un tipo di connessione che genera in chi osserva un senso di straniamento, ma anche di tenerezza, perché in un futuro prossimo i nostri sentimenti potrebbero assumere sfumature sempre meno umane. Ancora una volta sono gli occhi l'elemento che permette al pubblico di immedesimarsi nei due dispositivi artificiali. I loro occhi sono simili ai nostri ma diversi per la linea dello sguardo: nell'uomo orizzontale nei robot verticale. Quello dei due robot mima lo scrolling che ormai, in maniera del tutto automatica e “naturale”, caratterizza il nostro modo di vedere il mondo attraverso i device digitali.Fanno parte della stessa serie anche Affective Robot VS Naukides Discobolus (2013) e Robot VS Michelangelo (Daniele da Volterra) (2012), due conversazioni tête-à-tête tra una riproduzione in gesso di un'opera classica e un umanoide. Un simbolico passaggio di testimone tra i canoni di rappresentazione dell'essere umano nel corso della storia. Tra i due busti ci sono differenze epocali, eppure un filo rosso le accomuna: la volontà dell'umanità di avvicinarsi alla perfezione divina. Se nel mondo classico la perfezione era incarnata dalla figura dell'atleta e scolpita in blocchi di marmo, oggi l'uomo perfetto è il risultato di ciò che ha saputo costruire intorno a sé: relazioni, progresso intelligente, innovazione.I lavori più recenti di Ale Guzzetti, Quando i robot incontrarono gli antichi Dei, approfondiscono ulteriormente il tema dell'ibridazione tra antichità e contemporaneità, forme classiche e tecnologie avanzate. Dalla Medusa del Rondanini al Torso Gaddi, da una testa di Polifemo, risalente al II secolo a.C., a quella del dio Hypnos, conservata al British Museum: le riproduzioni stampate in 3D di busti e volti classici sono potenziate da visori, schermi e device di ultima generazione, come se i personaggi del passato cercassero di mimetizzarsi con l'uomo del nuovo millennio, ormai incapace di percepirsi senza ausilio tecnico. Alcuni dei dispositivi che innervano queste sculture sembrano provenire da un futuro lontano, quasi apocalittico: in realtà la tecnologia è già diventata un prolungamento dei nostri stessi corpi, una protesi necessaria alla nostra esistenza. Non ci appaiono dunque così aliene le figure che l'artista ci consegna da un passato lontano, contaminandole con gli esiti più avanzati del progresso. Incalzate dal nostro sguardo si animano, reagiscono alla nostra presenza, ci sussurrano quello che sanno e che apprendono.Dall'antichità, passando per gli automi rinascimentali, fino ai robot e all'intelligenza artificiale, il sogno della scultura, sin dai tempi più remoti, è stato quello di replicare la vita. Il tentativo di creare opere d'arte autonome, infatti, è un tema che affonda le proprie radici nel mito greco di Dedalo, fautore di invenzioni antropomorfe straordinarie, in grado di muoversi e persino di parlare. Con Dedalo l'artista diviene mago, ha il potere non solo di imitare l'esistenza, ma di plasmarla, creando opere che hanno libertà di azione e si rapportano con i viventi. Le creature di Guzzetti si inseriscono in questo millennario filone di sperimentazione, e traggono da esso il potere di sollecitare la nostra curiosità, prima che l'inquietudine abbia il sopravvento.IL POSTO DELLE PAROLEascoltare fa pensarewww.ilpostodelleparole.itDiventa un supporter di questo podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/il-posto-delle-parole--1487855/support.

Robin Hood claims Jay's number one spot, while John champions Aladdin. The conversation flows through beloved characters, iconic scenes, and the magic that makes these films timeless. We discover surprising common ground in our love for A Goofy Movie and debate the merits of Beauty and the Beast versus Pinocchio.The nostalgia continues as we shift to live-action Disney films. John reveals his deep appreciation for Mary Poppins—"the greatest blend of Disney"—while Jay surprises with his unexpected love for Cool Runnings and Heavyweights. Our journey through Disney's vast catalog unearths forgotten gems like The Shaggy Dog and Pete's Dragon, sparking memories that will transport you back to childhood movie nights.Just when you think we're all Disney all day, we pivot to showcase some seriously heavy new music. From the haunting vocals of Illicit Thoughts to the aggressive assault of Filth's "Stay Gutter," we explore the cutting edge of metal across various subgenres. Our enthusiasm peaks when discussing Wage War's "Tombstone" with its Pantera-inspired outro riff that has us both geeking out over guitar tones and breakdowns.Whether you're here for the Disney nostalgia, the metal discoveries, or just our authentic friendship, this episode delivers something for everyone.

(Never a Moment of Silence) *** We've all had a song stuck in our heads – but one woman has had the same song playing on a loop in her brain for the past four years, non-stop. (The Ear Worm) *** From too much noise – to none at all. We'll meet Ezekiel Eads, a man who had no ears and learned to hear the outside world through his mouth! (The Man With No Ears) *** Syphilis is a nasty disease, especially when it eats your nose. But that doesn't mean you can't have a social life, as many noseless have learned from personal experience. (The No Noses Club) *** Is it possible that it's better to have no nose at all than to have an extremely long one? We'll look at a real-life Pinocchio named Thomas Wedders with a giant proboscis! (A Short Story About a Long Nose) *** Imagine living through life with two and a half faces. No, not like a politician – that's simply two-faced. I mean living with two noses and three eyes. You're either an extraterrestrial, or you are William Durks. (Two-And-A-Half Faces) *** What exactly is so alluring about those who cherish virginity? Is it about virtue or is it about something else?

La settimana di Pinocchio inizia con il ritorno della Vale, che porta con sé notizie miste e una bella infornata di gossip.

C'è una calamita che si attiva in una certa fase della vita, quando i genitori diventano anziani e i figli, andati via per lavoro, iniziano a tornare più spesso a trovarli. E' quello che succede a Tonino, che fa lo scrittore e vive a Roma, ma torna a Caserta per passare più tempo con i suoi. Quei viaggi diventano l'occasione per ricordare il passato ma anche per analizzare come, nell'arco di tre generazioni, il mondo sia cambiato, passando dalla fame all'abbondanza, o come dice lui “da Pinocchio a Masterchef”. Antonio Pascale, scrittore e agronomo, mescola ancora una volta i suoi due mestieri per raccontare le “Cose umane”, ossia le relazioni affettive.

We're diving into Day 3 of our epic Disneyland adventure—and this one's all about next-level snacks, classic attractions, and one magical nightcap. We kick things off over at Disney California Adventure with an Impossible™ Breakfast Sha-Warm-Up from Shawarma Palace (plant-based goodness wrapped in flavor), plus a super cool Captain America Shield Sipper. The morning rides include a hot take on Mission: BREAKOUT!—featuring “Give Up the Funk”—and WEB SLINGERS, followed by some Disney classic ride charm with The Little Mermaid and Toy Story Midway Mania.Then it's snack time, and we don't hold back! We cover everything from Baja Breeze seltzers and all-beef hot dogs to standout festival eats like Smoked Hawaiian Pizza, Dole Whip Cheesecake, Garlic Cream Cheese Bread, and a Watermelon Cucumber Mojito. We also dig into lemon pepper wings, birria mac & cheese, and the creative California Wine Cocktail. And of course, we couldn't skip the Mickey-shaped SNICKERS macaron.From there, it's off to Toontown for Runaway Railway, and a quick bite from Maurice's Treats before taking a well-earned break. Then Rhonda and I jump into a classic attraction tour: Adventureland Treehouse, Haunted Mansion, Pinocchio, Snow White, Storybook Land Canal Boats, and Roger Rabbit's Car Toon Spin.Later, we unwind with drinks at the Broken Spell Lounge and then head to the Craftsman Bar for an unforgettable setting and experience including a inventive mocktails, Sticky Chicken Wings, and a the Charcuterie Pizza.We finish the night with Alice, Mad Tea Party, fireworks viewed from Galaxy's Edge, drinks at Oga's Cantina, a thrilling ride on Big Thunder, the always-amazing Fantasmic!, and Pirates of the Caribbean.This was one packed day—and we're breaking it all down, one bite, ride, and story at a time.We're excited to introduce Balanced Weather — your go-to source for smart, reliable weather updates tailored for Walt Disney World and all of Central Florida.CEO Alan Gerard, a meteorologist and lifelong Disney fan, has been providing weekly weather reports to the Main Street Magic community for years and will now be bringing you weekly forecasts, plus answers to your questions about weather for your upcoming Disney, Universal, or Florida vacation.Visit balancedweather.com/wdw-weather to learn more and get the latest updates.MEI-Travel – Expertise.

29 aprile, giornata mondiale della danza. Una ricorrenza che a Pinocchio è tutto un programma

Nuova settimana di Pinocchio, parte la Vale e torna Diego. La puntata di oggi è tutta dedicata al mondo dei cammini, di cui Diego è massimo esponente.

Show Notes We're going deep on one of the most unsettling movies of all time - Pinocchio. A movie full of horny animals, butts, and human trafficking, we never would have thought we would want to screen a Disney animated film from the 40s before showing it to a kid, but this thing is bonkers and more than a little frightening. From gross Italian stereotypes to the theme song for all of Disney, it's a whiplash inducing fever dream. But it sure does look beautiful.   Recommendations: Freaky Tales and Sinners (both in theaters now)   Next up: Fantasia (1940)   Email us at latecomers@gmail.com Find Amity @ www.amityarmstrong.com Our Facebook group is here for those who consent: https://www.facebook.com/groups/1754020081574479/
