What if the reason you can't articulate what makes you different isn't a communication problem, but a nervous system trained by decades of fitting in? Today's guest is the man Simon Sinek credits with helping him find his why.  Mark Levy has spent 25 years uncovering the ideas hidden within people that make them not just different but unmistakable. He went from a bookstore clerk in Queens to a publishing executive who moved over a billion dollars in books, to a New York Times contributor, to the author of Accidental Genius (translated into eleven languages), to a co-creator of Chamber Magic, New York City's highest-rated live show.  In this conversation, Mark and Dov unpack why the most capable people in the room so often have the hardest time saying what makes them unmistakably themselves, and what it costs them in fees, impact, and meaning to keep it all buried. Topics include:  The Leaning Tower of Pisa and the economics of anomaly Why passion blinds you to what you are looking at.  The four-into-four technique that unlocked a New York Times bestseller. Why marketing works better without hyperbole.  The actual origin of the elevator speech. How one client went from lighting himself on fire in theme parks to building courage in Fortune 500 organizations. How a magician became the Millionaire's Magician.  The single concrete action Mark gives listeners to start pulling their real ideas to the surface. CONNECT WITH MARK LEVY  Website: https://levyinnovation.com  Email: mark@levyinnovation.com  LinkedIn: https://linkedin.com/in/marklevy WORK WITH DOV  Website: https://DovBaron.com  Email: dov@dovbaron.com  If you found this conversation useful, please rate, review, and subscribe.

Pedras Grandes segue investindo em grandes projetos voltados ao turismo e à valorização da história local. Em entrevista à Rádio Cruz de Malta FM, o prefeito Agnaldo Filippi apresentou uma série de atualizações sobre obras em andamento, entre elas o futuro Museu do Distrito Fluorítico de Santa Catarina, a réplica da Torre de Pisa, um hangar para exposição de uma aeronave militar e novos atrativos no Parque Casa dos Arcos. Um dos destaques é a construção do pavilhão que abrigará o Museu do Distrito Fluorítico de Santa Catarina. O espaço reunirá um importante acervo geológico formado por cerca de 4 mil caixas de testemunhos de sondagens, doadas pelo Grupo Votorantim, resultado de décadas de exploração da fluorita na região. Segundo Filippi, Pedras Grandes teve papel fundamental na mineração do mineral e chegou a ser reconhecida, na década de 1970, como a capital sul-americana da fluorita. "Pedras Grandes foi considerada inclusive na década de 70 como a capital brasileira, sul-americana, da fluorita. Agora estamos terminando o pavilhão que vai sediar esse único museu brasileiro da fluorita", destacou o prefeito. O museu ficará ao lado da UniPeg, unidade de ensino profissionalizante voltada ao turismo, e terá o acervo totalmente catalogado e digitalizado. A expectativa é atrair estudantes, pesquisadores e visitantes, fortalecendo o turismo científico na região. De acordo com o prefeito, a estrutura do prédio já está praticamente concluída e o acervo deve começar a ser instalado em aproximadamente 45 dias.

Alle franziskanischen Gemeinschaften, also die Franziskaner, die Minoriten und Kapuziner, die Franziskanerinnen und Klarissen und alle franziskanischen Familien weltweit, feiern heute das Fest des heiligen Bonaventura. Giovanni di Fidanza wurde als Sohn eines Arztes geboren. Die Überlieferung erzählt, dass das schwer kranke Kind geheilt wurde, nachdem seine Mutter ihn zu Franziskus von Assisi gebracht und der ihn gesegnet hatte. Als Franziskus 1226 im Sterben lag, besuchte ihn die Mutter mit dem gesunden Kind abermals; Franziskus rief über dem Kind aus: "Oh buona ventura", "Oh gute Fügung", was später zum Ordensnamen von Johannes wurde. Diese Geschichten aus dem 13. Jahrhundert sind einfach schön und zeigen, welches Vertrauen die Menschen in Gott hatten. Aber von Bonaventura sind unglaublich viele Bücher, Texte und Vorträge überliefert. Er galt als einer der großen Theologen seiner Zeit und in den Anfängen der Bettelorden, die noch einmal eine ganz andere inhaltliche Auseinandersetzung mit dem Evangelium für unsere Kirche begonnen hat. Später wurde er Generaloberer der Franziskaner und vorher Professor an der Sorbonne in Paris. Vorher in Pisa, - habe ihn Thomas von Aquin besucht und gefragt, wo seine Bibliothek sei, aus der er sich so große Kenntnisse und Beredsamkeit erworben habe. Bonaventura zog einen Vorhang zurück und deutete auf den gekreuzigten Christus. Zwei Zitate von Bonaventura sind glaube ich auch für uns heute ziemlich gut zu bedenken. Das erste: "Wer durch den Glanz und die Herrlichkeit alles Geschaffenen nicht erleuchtet wird, ist blind. Wer durch die lauten Rufe der Schöpfung nicht aufwacht, ist taub. Wer ob aller Geschöpfe und ob aller seiner Werke Gott nicht lobt, ist stumm, und wer aus all diesen Zeugnissen den Urgrund, den Schöpfer, nicht erkennt, ist töricht und dumm." Und noch ein zweites Zitat finde ich sehr bemerkenswert: "Wegen dieser drei Dinge hat Gott die vernünftige Seele geschaffen: Dass sie Ihn lobe, dass sie Ihm diene, dass sie an Ihm sich erfreue und in Ihm ruhe; und das geschieht durch die Liebe, denn wer in der Liebe bleibt, der bleibt in Gott, und Gott bleibt in ihm."

La robotica entra sempre più concretamente nella pratica clinica. In questa puntata di Obiettivo Salute risveglio scopriamo ALTER-EGO, il robot umanoide protagonista di una sperimentazione che coinvolge IRCCS Maugeri Milano, Istituto Italiano di Tecnologia e Università di Pisa. Progettato per affiancare il personale sanitario, ALTER-EGO può accompagnare i pazienti, facilitare la comunicazione e contribuire alla continuità delle cure anche dopo la dimissione, senza sostituire il rapporto umano tra medico e paziente. Ne parliamo con la dottoressa Rachele Piras, neurologa dell'IRCCS Maugeri Milano, e con Manuel Catalano, ricercatore dell'Istituto Italiano di Tecnologia (IIT) e responsabile del progetto ALTER-EGO, per capire come l'intelligenza artificiale e la robotica possano diventare strumenti concreti al servizio della medicina e dell'assistenza.

In this episode of Talking Teaching, host Dr Sophie Specjal is joined by Professor Therese N. Hopfenbeck, Director of the Assessment and Evaluation Research Centre at the University of Melbourne and Chair of the PISA 2029 Questionnaire Framework Group.Across a rich and wide-ranging conversation, Sophie and Therese explore what assessment is really for, what student voice can tell us that traditional measures cannot, and how artificial intelligence is challenging educators to rethink what it means to know, learn and demonstrate understanding.Drawing on Therese's extraordinary international career across Norway, England, the United States and Australia, the conversation moves from classrooms and formative assessment to large-scale studies, PISA, perception data, feedback, educational equity and the future of AI in learning.Therese reflects on why understanding the specific learner matters; why students' experiences of belonging, motivation, teaching and assessment must be heard; and why data should be used not simply to rank or compare, but to identify where learners may be vulnerable and where systems can improve.The conversation also asks some urgent questions for education:What does good assessment look like when AI is part of the learning environment?How do we know whether students are genuinely learning?What should count as evidence of understanding?How can AI support learning without replacing human expertise?Why do student perceptions, belonging and motivation matter?What can large-scale studies such as PISA tell us — and what can't they tell us?Why is context so important when borrowing educational ideas across countries?How must assessment tasks change when students can work with generative AI?And why might teachers and human relationships become more important than ever?This is a conversation about curiosity, evidence, humility, and possibility, and about asking better questions as we shape the future of learning.Therese and Sophie discuss assessment for learning and formative assessment; student voice and perception data; PISA and international large-scale studies; AI literacy and PISA 2029; teachers' use of AI in classrooms; human expertise in evaluating AI outputs; feedback and classroom dialogue; changing assessment tasks in the age of generative AI; global comparisons and policy borrowing; educational equity and vulnerable learner groups; belonging and motivation; longitudinal data; research–practice partnerships; the importance of student voice and perception data and the enduring importance of teachers.Professor Therese N. Hopfenbeck is Director of the Assessment and Evaluation Research Centre (AERC) in the Faculty of Education at the University of Melbourne. Her work has shaped international thinking across assessment, feedback, student learning, educational evaluation and large-scale studies. She has worked across Norway, the United Kingdom, the United States and Australia and is currently Chair of the PISA 2029 Questionnaire Framework Group, contributing to global thinking about student experiences, learning, wellbeing and future readiness.AI in the classroom: friend or foe? – Talking Teaching Rethinking Assessment Evidence in the Age of AI https://findanexpert.unimelb.edu.au/profile/1039679-sophie-specjal⁠https://www.linkedin.com/in/sophie-specjal-phd-36712091/https://findanexpert.unimelb.edu.au/profile/1014324-therese-n.-hopfenbeckhttps://www.linkedin.com/in/therese-n-hopfenbeck-7627a8b/https://scholar.google.com/citations?user=SyO61r0AAAAJ&hl=en

Stefano Fava@piuscuolanellavita"La soffitta delle parole"Riscoprire i tesori nascosti (o dimenticati) della nostra lingua.Utet Libriwww.utetlibri.itSecondo la vulgata, i professori di italiano sono gli ultimi difensori della cultura, votati alla causa spesso ardua di distogliere i ragazzi dai social per convincerli della bellezza struggente di una terzina di Dante.Stefano Fava, che insegna in un liceo di Milano, ha deciso di rovesciare lo stereotipo: grazie anche a qualche dritta tecnica dei ragazzi, ha creato una pagina Instagram, dove usa le stories e i reel per portare appunto @piuscuolanellavita, aiutando i suoi follower a mettere in pausa gli impegni, alleggerire lo stress della vita adulta e tornare per qualche minuto di nuovo studenti, chini sui banchi di scuola. Ma i reel hanno un respiro breve per loro natura, e per le missioni più ambiziose serve ben altro: serve un libro.Qual è la missione? Salvare l'italiano, nientemeno, attaccato da tutte le parti: dal dilagare dell'inglese, dal linguaggio sciatto della tv, dalla pigrizia di noi parlanti, che ricicliamo sempre la stessa manciata di parole. Senza fare un noioso saggio di linguistica, Stefano Fava qui si appoggia di volta in volta a una parola scivolata via dall'uso comune, relegata nelle pieghe dei vocabolari o, per usare la metafora a lui cara, dimenticata in soffitta.Nel raccontare l'etimologia, l'uso letterario e quotidiano, e le mille strade in cui una parola finisce per perdersi, di fatto la rispolvera e la lucida, riportandola a brillare del suo antico, rinnovato splendore. La soffitta delle parole diventa così uno scrigno di gemme lessicali: da sofisma ad aporia, da protervia a indefesso, da acquiescenza a codesto, da blandizia a pugnace, da sibillino a misoneismo… E tra una parola e l'altra, il professor Fava affronta le questioni aperte del linguaggio e dell'apprendimento, alternando elogi della fatica, sfide all'intelligenza artificiale e inchieste sul modo in cui l'italiano è cambiato, e ancora cambierà. Ma invece di subire il cambiamento, o velocizzarlo, possiamo esserne parte attiva, salvando nel mentre dalla soffitta le parole più entusiasmanti.Stefano Fava è nato a Lucca ed è laureato in Lettere e Filosofia all'Università di Pisa. Ha vissuto per quindici anni nel Regno Unito, dove ha insegnato lingua e letteratura italiana e scrittura creativa in varie istituzioni inglesi tra cui la Essex University e il King's College di Londra. Nella capitale britannica ha anche fondato e diretto, dal 2001 al 2012, un'associazione per la diffusione della lingua e della cultura italiane denominata Affinitalia. Dal 2013 vive a Milano, dove insegna letteratura italiana e storia in un liceo della città e si dedica a varie attività culturali. Nel 2023 ha creato il progetto social @piuscuolanellavita, tramite il quale divulga su Instagram e TikTok contenuti storici, letterari e linguistici.

Researchers followed nearly the entire Swedish population under age 80 from 2020 through 2023 and found that while SARS-CoV-2 infection was linked to a temporary rise in new type 1 diabetes diagnoses, the risk declined over time. The study also found no evidence that COVID-19 vaccination increases the long-term risk of developing type 1 diabetes. Vaccination did not significantly change the relationship between COVID-19 infection and diabetes risk, and any small increase in diagnoses seen among adults shortly after a first vaccine dose was not seen after later doses or during longer follow-up. The researchers concluded that their findings do not support changing current COVID-19 vaccination recommendations because of concerns about type 1 diabetes risk. https://www.infectiousdiseaseadvisor.com/news/covid19-infection-may-increase-short-term-type-1-diabetes-risk/ XX Two new studies are challenging the traditional view that type 1 diabetes develops solely because the immune system attacks insulin-producing beta cells. Researchers from Indiana University found evidence that beta cells themselves may play an active role in determining whether they survive or succumb to the stresses that lead to type 1 diabetes. In the first study, scientists discovered that some healthy human beta cells can quickly activate an antiviral defense system when exposed to interferon-alpha, an immune signal often produced during viral infections. This response relies on molecules called reactive oxygen species (ROS), which are usually associated with cell damage but, in this case, appeared to help switch on protective antiviral genes. Researchers found this defense program in healthy cells and in people at risk for type 1 diabetes, but not in beta cells from people who already had the disease. The findings suggest that losing this built-in defense mechanism may make beta cells more vulnerable during the development of type 1 diabetes. The second study focused on autophagy, the process cells use to recycle damaged or worn-out components. Using a new imaging technique, researchers observed that beta cells in a mouse model of type 1 diabetes showed defects in autophagy before blood sugar levels began to rise and even before a full immune attack was underway. This suggests that problems inside the beta cells may occur early in the disease process rather than being caused entirely by the immune system. Together, the studies point to a more complex picture of type 1 diabetes. While they do not show that beta-cell defects cause the disease, they suggest that differences in how beta cells respond to stress, viral signals, and cellular damage may influence who develops type 1 diabetes and how the disease progresses. https://medicalxpress.com/news/2026-06-beta-cells-players-diabetes.html XX Researchers have created the most detailed map yet of how the human pancreas develops during childhood, offering new clues about why children are especially vulnerable to developing diabetes. The study, published in Nature Communications, examined pancreatic tissue from 123 children without diabetes, ranging from newborns through age 10. Using advanced imaging techniques, scientists tracked how insulin-producing islet cells grow and mature during the first decade of life. The researchers found that pancreas size varies dramatically at birth, with some infants having pancreases nearly four times larger than others. They also discovered that insulin-producing beta cells grow more slowly after birth than previously thought, suggesting that much of a person's lifelong beta cell capacity may be established before birth and during early childhood. Other findings showed that insulin-producing cells mature earlier than glucagon-producing cells and that new hormone-producing cells may continue to form after birth. The researchers hope this new understanding of pancreas development will help scientists identify diabetes risk earlier and develop better strategies for prevention and treatment in children. https://news.vumc.org/2026/06/29/unlocking-diabetes-secrets-pediatric-organ-donors-help-map-a-path-to-a-cure-and-prevention/   XX At the American Diabetes Association annual meeting, 2-year results from the SUPPRESS-EARLY trial showed that initiating tirzepatide (Mounjaro, Zepbound) early in the course of type 2 diabetes led to substantially higher rates of near-normal glycemic control and also led to broader metabolic improvements compared with intensive conventional therapy.   In this MedPage Today video, investigator Stefano Del Prato, MD, of the University of Pisa in Italy, discusses the findings.     Following is a transcript of his remarks:   What happened is that in the tirzepatide-treated arm, 85% of the population at the end of the second year was on the maximum dose of tirzepatide 15 mg. And then the remaining 15 with the different doses.   Interestingly, in the population that had been treated with the intensive conventional approach, 85% of them ended up to have, on top of metformin, a GLP-1 receptor agonist, mainly represented by subcutaneous semaglutide [Ozempic, Wegovy], 60+%, another 15% on oral semaglutide [Rybelsus], and the remaining on dulaglutide [Trulicity].   And I have to say that maybe the recommendation to really push along the line to try to achieve and to strive to achieve [glycemic] control was successful in these individuals. Because the population that had been recruited in the study started off with a baseline A1C of 7.8% and it went down to 6.3% in the conventionally intensive treatment, which is not bad at all, on average is below the target of 6.5%.     However, when we look at the effect of tirzepatide, the final level of A1C at the end of the second year was 5.6%, which is on average below the upper limit of the normal range for A1C, 5.7%. This also translates into more people not only achieving normal glycemia, if we can define normal glycemia as A1C below 5.7%, greater than what we observed in conventionally treated individuals. So it was around three times more people achieving an A1C of 5.7%, in the range of around 65%, as compared to 28% with people on a conventional optimized treatment.   Now, this is not surprising knowing the potency of tirzepatide. But again, going back to the rationale of the design, can we change what is the natural history of the disease? This seems to be at least of interest and it's possibly changing the trajectory of the disease for glycemic control, as I mentioned, but also in terms of the body weight and waist circumference because both body weight and waist circumference went much lower with tirzepatide compared to the conventional treatment.   Tirzepatide also was associated with an improvement in the lipid profile, in particular with the LDL, triglycerides, and the triglyceride concentration and non-HDL cholesterol, and also with a statistically significantly lower systolic blood pressure with a numerical reduction in the diastolic blood pressure.   And also the other thing that probably will ... become more apparent with the study continuing is that the investigators were allowed to add on any other treatment ... needed to achieve their target. So tirzepatide was just metformin and tirzepatide. In the control group, there was already 10% of people who were receiving two drugs on top of the metformin.   So another potential result of the trial is that it's possible to achieve and maintain better glycemic or better metabolic control over the time without really needing to increase the number of medications in order to achieve that goal. And we know that type 2 diabetes is a progressive condition often requiring intensification of the treatment.   So these initial results really stand for a great opportunity with tirzepatide. Of course, we need to wait for the 4 years just to confirm that this is indeed the case, but the initial result seems to point along that line. https://www.medpagetoday.com/meetingcoverage/adavideopearls/121967 XX A study from the University of Virginia found that high blood pressure is extremely common among people with diabetes, even among those who believe their blood pressure is under control. Researchers measured blood pressure in 172 adults with type 1 or type 2 diabetes during routine eye clinic visits and found that only 8% had normal readings. About half had stage 2 hypertension, and more than 10% had blood pressure levels high enough to be considered a medical emergency. The study also revealed that many patients were unaware of how serious their blood pressure problems were. Among those who thought their hypertension was well controlled, more than half still had stage 2 hypertension. Nearly 60% of participants were advised to contact their primary care provider, and one patient required an emergency department referral. Most patients supported blood pressure screening during eye exams, leading researchers to suggest that routine blood pressure checks in ophthalmology clinics could help identify undiagnosed or poorly controlled hypertension before it leads to serious complications such as heart attack, stroke, or worsening diabetic eye disease. https://medicalxpress.com/news/2026-06-routine-eye-exams-reveal-stage.html XX What is going on with retatrutide? This is the next generation GLP-1 but it's not authorized outside of clinical trials. Big investigation by CBS shows retatrutide is for sale all over the internet, a phenomenon they say has no modern precedent. CBS News identified more than 120 websites selling or promoting retatrutide, including more than 50 clinics staffed by licensed medical professionals. After being contacted by CBS News, at least 21 clinics abruptly removed retatrutide from their websites or changed the language to state they don't offer it. Others defended prescribing it, saying they're confident enough in results from clinical trials sponsored by drugmaker Eli Lilly that they didn't need to wait for the FDA's independent, rigorous review. An FDA spokesperson said retatrutide "has not been found safe or effective for any condition," adding that it "cannot be manufactured or distributed except for investigational use." The Justice Department is prosecuting two cases – in Utah and Florida – involving the sale and prescription of retatrutide. But the first line of enforcement is often at the state level. Ohio's Board of Pharmacy has taken action against several pharmacies and clinics providing retatrutide, and just last month, Alabama's Medical Board warned physicians against prescribing research-grade medications. The FDA has sent 14 warning letters to companies that have advertised retatrutide since 2024. Of these, at least six have continued to offer it online, including a business called Pink Pony Peptides. A TikTok account associated with the firm responded to the warning in April by taunting the FDA, boasting that the business "just had the best 24 hours ever." In May, Eli Lilly announced that participants in a large clinical trial taking the highest dose of retatrutide lost an average of 28% of their body weight over 80 weeks. Side effects – including nausea, diarrhea, constipation and vomiting – were comparable to similar therapies, the company said. "Anyone purporting to sell retatrutide to consumers is breaking the law," an Eli Lilly spokesperson said https://www.cbsnews.com/projects/2026/experimental-weight-loss-drug/ XX Pioneering research has developed a new way of creating carbohydrate-based medicines, which could ultimately replace costly drugs for common health conditions, using two cheap basic ingredients – table sugar and vinegar. These medications include SGLT2 inhibitors, widely prescribed drugs used to treat type 2 diabetes, heart failure and chronic kidney disease. Co-lead author Professor Phil Baran, Dr. Richard A. Lerner Endowed Chair at Scripps Research, in San Diego, California, said: "The point of this is to show that anyone in a garage can make an SGLT2 inhibitor with reagents that are widely available. We have not patented this method, so we welcome any generic drug company – or anyone else – who wants to use it to help bring costs down for patients." https://www.newswise.com/articles/new-study-shows-table-sugar-could-hold-a-cheaper-quicker-key-to-making-vital-drugs-for-diabetes-heart-failure-and-chronic-kidney-disease XX England and Wales approve teplizumab to slow progression of T1D. At the moment, the Scottish Medicines Consortium does not have an appraisal of Tzield on the go, so, there is likely to be a disparity in access within the UK for the time being. In Northern Ireland, access will depend on a review and adoption of NICE guidance.  Sanofi is expecting to see an uptick in momentum thanks to two subsequent FDA approvals, one in children as young as one with stage 2 T1D, and a second to delay the decline in endogenous insulin production in children aged eight to 17 years recently diagnosed with stage 3 T1D. btw you might here more people referring to stage 4 diabetes. They've added that to include people diagnosed with type 1 who've been on insulin for a longer period of time – basically long enough to not be eligible for the current guidelines for Tzield. https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/ce8mzd94r76oXX XX Obesity Association, a division of the American Diabetes Association® (the association), announced the next section in the Standards of Care in Overweight and Obesity, "Screening, Diagnosis, Evaluation, and Staging of Obesity in Adults," published in Diabetes, Obesity, and CardioMetabolic CARE® and BMJ Open Diabetes Research & Care.  Key highlights of the guidance: Early screening: Annual BMI screening with emphasis on tracking weight trends to identify risk earlier, including a longitudinal life-event weight graph tool for standardized assessment. Enhanced diagnosis: Combines BMI with waist measurements and population-specific thresholds to improve accuracy. Notably, the guidelines recommend that BMI in the overweight range together with central adiposity measurements warrant a formal obesity diagnosis. Comprehensive evaluation: Holistic assessment including medical, behavioral, and social factors. Offers a fully integrated obesity diagnostic algorithm. Risk stratification: Use of tools like the Edmonton Obesity Staging System to guide care. Chronic care approach: Ongoing monitoring and follow-up to support long-term management. Reducing bias: Promotes person-centered, non-stigmatizing care and system-level improvements at the clinical workflow level and encourages screening for prior weight bias/stigma experiences. https://www.prnewswire.com/news-releases/new-standards-of-care-in-overweight-and-obesity-section-screening-diagnosis-evaluation-and-staging-of-obesity-in-adults-302809670.html XX Dexcom (Nadsaq:DXCM) today announced the launch of its fully reimagined Stelo over-the-counter (OTC) sensor app experience. San Diego-based Dexcom plans to formally begin the new app rollout in July for Apple iPhone and Android users in the U.S. Dexcom said its reimagined app aims to make glucose insights easier to understand and act on. It hopes to help build awareness of how food, activity, sleep and stress influence overall wellbeing.   The company also reiterated plans to launch Stelo internationally. It expects to bring the sensor to the UK, Australia, New Zealand and South Korea later this year, continuing into 2027. https://www.drugdeliverybusiness.com/dexcom-launches-enhanced-stelo-app/ XX MannKind Corporation recently announced it received a grant from Breakthrough T1D to support the INHALE-1 clinical study of Afrezza, its ultra rapid-acting inhaled insulin, in newly diagnosed pediatric type 1 diabetes patients aged 10 to under 18 years. This external funding for a trial focused on early use of Afrezza in children highlights growing third-party support for inhaled insulin in pediatric diabetes care. https://simplywall.st/stocks/us/pharmaceuticals-biotech/nasdaq-mnkd/mannkind/news/afrezza-pediatric-trial-grant-might-change-the-case-for-inve XX Alexander Zverev heads into Wimbledon with plenty of momentum. The French Open champion returns to the All England Club looking to build on his first Grand Slam title and gain ground on Carlos Alcaraz in the race for the No. 2 spot in the ATP rankings. Zverev has an opportunity to make up points quickly after a first-round exit at Wimbledon last year. But his final tune-up before Wimbledon came with an unexpected challenge. During his semifinal loss to Taylor Fritz at the Halle Open, Zverev said a malfunctioning glucose sensor led to serious diabetes management issues on court. The sensor incorrectly showed his blood sugar was high when it was actually low, causing him to take more insulin than needed. "I had huge problems with the sugar because the sensor I use gave me a completely incorrect reading," Zverev said after the match. "During the match, or rather during the first 45 minutes, I had to consume about 350 grams of sugar. I felt absolutely terrible." Despite feeling unwell, Zverev pushed the match to three sets before falling 6-7(4), 6-4, 7-5 to Fritz. He credited his opponent with playing the better match and said the diabetes-related issue was not an excuse for the result. Zverev, who was diagnosed with type 1 diabetes at age 4, uses Medtronic diabetes technology to help manage his glucose levels while competing on the ATP Tour. He said the sensor error was the first major problem he has experienced after nearly a decade of using the technology. The German said the incident should not affect his Wimbledon preparations.

In de laatste aflevering van dit schooljaar neemt Rinke samen met pedagoog en jeugdboekauteur Pedro de Bruyckere de opvallendste onderwijsnieuwtjes van juni onder de loep. Van nieuwe basisbekwaamheden voor de lerarenopleiding tot een genuanceerde blik op intelligentie, competitie in de klas, bordspellen als leerstrategie en wat er in de schuif van wetenschappelijk onderzoek blijft zitten.Onderwerpen in deze aflevering:Minister Zuhal Demir stelde de nieuwe basisbekwaamheden voor de lerarenopleiding kleuter en lager onderwijs voor. Voor het eerst liggen concrete verwachtingen vast voor afgestudeerde leerkrachten. Pedro legt uit wat er verandert ten opzichte van de vroegere basiscompetenties, waarom ze een pak concreter zijn geworden en hoe ze aansluiten bij de nieuwe minimumdoelen. Bijzonder aandachtspunt: ook de stagecomponent krijgt een prominentere rol.Daarna duikt Pedro in een van de meest onderzochte en tegelijk meest misverstane concepten uit de psychologie: intelligentie en IQ. Hoe wordt het gemeten? Wat zegt het wel en niet? Is het erfelijk of maakbaar? En waarom is veel kritiek op IQ eigenlijk sterk gedateerd? Pedro neemt ook meervoudige intelligentie kritisch onder de loep, inclusief de nuancering van Gardner zelf.Een studie op basis van PISA-data van meer dan 315.000 leerlingen uit 69 landen stelt een verrassende vraag: vergroot een competitieve schoolomgeving de kloof tussen kansarme en kansrijke leerlingen eigenlijk wel? De conclusies zijn genuanceerder dan de aanname die velen koesteren, en hangen sterk af van hoe je competitie definieert en meet.Wat blijft er in de schuif van wetenschappers zitten? Pedro bespreekt het zogenaamde file drawer problem, de rol van preregistratie en waarom publicatiebias complexer is dan vaak gedacht.Tot slot: bordspellen in de klas. Een kleinschalige Italiaanse studie bij vierde en vijfde leerjaar onderzocht de effecten op executieve functies, sociale vaardigheden en schoolprestaties. De resultaten zijn bescheiden maar interessant, en Pedro koppelt ze meteen aan een bredere reflectie over transfer, de rol van de leerkracht en evidence-informed werken.

Si chiama acciaio maraging: è una lega di ferro, cobalto nichel e molibdeno, e costa una fortuna. Lo si trova nel mondo dell'aeronautica e dei motori, nelle migliori mazze da golf e nelle spade da scherma. In questa puntata andiamo a Pisa per parlare di una collaborazione tra l'ateneo Pisano e la Federazione Italiana di scherma, per sviluppare attività di ricerca nel settore dei materiali e delle attrezzature schermistiche con l'obiettivo, soprattutto, di rendere più accessibile questo sport, trovando alternative più economiche alle attuali senza sacrificare prestazioni e la sicurezza. E se possibile, migliorandole. Ne parliamo con Renzo Valentini, professore di Metallurgia all'Università di Pisa.

Fliss and James unpack the Senedd row that saw a walkout after a controversial speech in the Siambr by Reform MS Joe Martin. They're joined by BBC Wales Political Reporter David Deans, who was there at the time, to break down what happened and why. The team also turn their attention to education, analysing the latest announcements from the Welsh Education Minister. They discuss her stance on social media bans, restrictions on mobile phones in schools and the ongoing difficulties around teachers' pay and PISA with our Correspondent Bethan Lewis.

Dans cet épisode passionnant de "Comment j'ai réussi?", Stéphane Pedrazzi s'entretient avec Wilfried Granier, le fondateur de Superprof. L'invité nous dévoile les coulisses de la réussite de sa plateforme de soutien scolaire. Véritable pionnier dans ce domaine, il partage son expertise et son parcours entrepreneurial hors du commun.Tout d'abord, il revient sur la situation actuelle du baccalauréat en France. Loin de constater une baisse du niveau, il observe plutôt une hausse du recours aux professeurs particuliers et aux coachs pour préparer cet examen. Il explique également le recul de la France dans le classement PISA en mathématiques, un phénomène qu'il attribue à un désintérêt grandissant pour cette matière.Mais Superprof ne se limite pas au soutien scolaire traditionnel. Son fondateur met en avant la diversité des thématiques proposées sur sa plateforme, allant des langues aux loisirs créatifs, en passant par l'intelligence artificielle ou les crypto-monnaies. Cette polyvalence reflète la curiosité et les besoins variés des apprenants.Le secret de la réussite de la plateforme réside dans sa philosophie : mettre l'accent sur la relation entre le professeur et l'élève. Wilfried insiste sur l'importance de l'alchimie entre ces deux acteurs, affirmant que c'est ce qui fait toute la différence. Chez Superprof, les élèves ont la possibilité de choisir leur professeur, favorisant ainsi une connexion unique.Autre particularité de la plateforme : l'entreprise ne prend pas de commission sur les transactions entre professeurs et élèves. Ce modèle économique innovant permet de garantir un juste prix pour les deux parties. Wilfried Granier explique également comment son entreprise se positionne face aux éventuelles évolutions des niches fiscales liées aux services à la personne.Hébergé par Audiomeans.

SCHEDULE THE JOHN BATCHELOR SHOW, 6-12-2026.1903 PRINCETON UNIVERSITYJeff Bliss describes massive, deadly swells hitting California beaches due to a southern hemisphere storm system. The conversation shifts to Las Vegas, where a massive, highly anticipated In-N-Out Burger recently opened on the Strip. Bliss details the chain's reputation for fresh food, cleanliness, and fair employee wages. (1)Jeff Bliss discusses the surprising results of the Los Angeles City Council primary, where Nithya Raman surged despite initially conceding. He highlights allegations of voter fraud in the Skid Row area and the impact of California's ballot harvesting laws. The segment also touches on Xavier Becerra's lead in the governor's race. (2)Richard Epstein analyzes the legal effort to prevent the removal of Donald Trump's name from the Kennedy Centerfacade. He argues that the Trump-aligned board's appeal lacks legal merit and strength, as removing a nameplate does not constitute irreparable harm. Epstein suggests the judge should consider firing the current board due to bias. (3)Richard Epstein critiques the construction of the Obama Center in Chicago, lamenting the destruction of 800 historical trees and the seizure of public land. He describes the project's design as a "monstrosity" with a flawed traffic plan and expresses concern over the foundation's lack of financial transparency and endowment. (4)Jim McTague reports on a "budget-minded hesitancy" among Pennsylvania consumers despite falling gas prices. He notes a rare layoff notice for 70 logistics workers and uneven retail activity. Meanwhile, a data center project near Costcoproceeds under heavy security, while a similar proposal was rejected by a neighboring borough. (5)Lorenzo Fiori discusses the "disaster" of the Italian national football team failing to qualify for the World Cup for the third consecutive time. The segment transitions to Pisa, highlighting the prestigious Scuola Normale Superiore and recent astronomical breakthroughs involving the James Webb Space Telescope. Fiori concludes with local wine and culinary recommendations. (6)Bob Zimmerman discusses the crew selection for NASA's Artemis 3 mission, which has been simplified to focus on Earth-orbit docking tests. He also examines private sector developments, including German startup Isar's funding, Stoke Space's reusable rocket design, and an orbital servicing mission by Catalyst intended to rescue a decaying NASAtelescope. (7)Bob Zimmerman honors the late Alan Hale, co-discoverer of the record-setting Comet Hale-Bopp. He reviews the historical significance of the first image of the moon's far side taken by Luna 3 in 1959. The segment also explores current cosmological debates regarding dark energy and the existence of "little red dots" in the early universe. (8)Peter Huessy discusses the history of "tactical" nuclear weapons and the 1950s Desert Rock exercises where U.S. troops were exposed to nuclear detonations. He details the health risks soldiers faced and parallels these actions with Sovietmaneuvers, highlighting the "ludicrous" idea of trying to operate militarily in a post-detonation environment. (9)Peter Huessy explains that Russia views low-yield, tactical nuclear weapons as usable battlefield tools to achieve victory or coerce opponents. He contrasts this with U.S. doctrine, which keeps such weapons under central command. Huessywarns of the lack of transparency regarding China's dual-use nuclear capabilities and Russia's "reckless" potential to use these weapons. (10)Colonel Jeff McCausland discusses stalled negotiations with Iran, noting the heavy influence of the Revolutionary Guard Corps over the diplomatic process. He analyzes the military difficulty of seizing Kharg Island and the profound impact of Ukrainian drones on the Russian front, suggesting that drone saturation has leveled the battlefield and interdicted Russian resupply lines. (11)Jeff McCausland draws parallels between the performative style of Civil War General Jeb Stuart and current Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth. He critiques Hegseth's recent speeches in Singapore, Normandy, and Guantanamo, arguing they prioritize individual image over grand strategy and mark significant, potentially transactional shifts in long-standing U.S. foreign policy toward Taiwan and European allies. (12)Veronique de Rugy argues that the U.S. already has the most progressive tax system among OECD countries, with the wealthy paying a disproportionate share of revenue. She critiques Thomas Piketty's proposal for a global wealth tax and mandated "degrowth," characterizing it as an effort to limit national growth under the guise of climate and social justice. (13)Mary Anastasia O'Grady questions the delay in scheduling Venezuelan elections under Delcy Rodriguez. She reports that over 400 political prisoners remain held, and the notorious Helicoide prison remains operational despite contradictory claims. O'Grady notes that the regime lacks the political will to allow a free press or fair electoral body to organize. (14)Conrad Black emphasizes the vital economic ties between the U.S. and Canada, noting Canada provides 25% of U.S.aluminum and 20% of its uranium. He expresses confidence that Prime Minister Mark Carney will build necessary oil pipelines to both coasts to benefit the Canadian economy, despite opposition from environmental groups and Carney's own "green instincts." (15)Francis Rose discusses the U.S. military's efforts to integrate AI by "gamifying" systems to make them intuitive for young, video-game-literate service members. He also highlights CISA's work in rebuilding its workforce to protect private-sector cyber infrastructure and the Army's Joint Innovation Outpost, which aims to accelerate the transition of technology from private inventors to the battlefield. (16)One name correction: (2) Nithia Raman → Nithya Raman (established style for the LA city council member).

Lorenzo Fiori discusses the "disaster" of the Italian national football team failing to qualify for the World Cup for the third consecutive time.

At the age of two, Tsenshap Serkong Rinpoche II (1984 – present) pointed to the photo of the recently deceased Assistant Tutor of the 14th Dalai Lama and said, “That's me!” When he was about three years old he was recognized by His Holiness the Dalai Lama as the incarnation of Kyabje Tsenshap Serkong Tugse Rinpoche (1914-1983), who was one of the seven master debate partners to His Holiness the Dalai Lama. Rinpoche began his Buddhist studies and training at Ganden Jangtse Monastery in South India. After deciding to continue his work for the Dharma as a lay person, he completed his education at the Institute of Buddhist Dialectics in Dharamsala. On the advice of the Dalai Lama, Rinpoche completed three years of intensive study of English in Canada. Rinpoche teaches at Dharma Centers around the world, combining his experience of the study and practice of Buddhism with his acquaintance with the Western world. His fascinating teachings are full of wisdom, grace, and humor. Rinpoche feels privileged to continue the responsibilities of Tsenshap Serkong Tugse Rinpoche to teach and benefit people as much as he can. Atisha Mathur, Ph.D. Dr. Atisha Mathur was born and brought up in New Delhi, India. He pursued his undergraduate studies in Language and Literature of South Asia, with a focus on Tibetan studies, at the esteemed Orientale in Naples, Italy.

« L'iA sait déjà tout, à quoi bon encore apprendre et faire des études ? » Cette idée s'insinue partout. Et si c'était exactement l'inverse ? Plus la machine maîtrise les savoirs d'hier, plus apprendre redevient vital, à condition de comprendre pourquoi. Polytechnicien devenu généticien, François Taddei a cofondé le Learning Planet Institute (ex-CRI) et codirige la chaire UNESCO Sciences de l'apprendre. Chercheur Inserm, il a remis en 2025 un rapport au gouvernement sur l'iA dans l'enseignement supérieur et signé « Apprendre au XXIe siècle ». Si les machines nous battent aux examens, c'est peut-être qu'on évalue la mauvaise chose. Notre école entraîne les élèves à concourir sur les savoirs du passé, là où l'iA gagne déjà, et fabrique ce que l'OCDE appelle des « robots de deuxième classe ».Et si apprendre ne servait plus à servir, mais à devenir ? Les questions auxquelles répond cet épisode :- À quoi bon apprendre et faire des études si l'iA semble déjà tout savoir ?- Comment le système éducatif doit-il évoluer à l'ère de l'iA ?- Le classement PISA a-t-il encore un sens au XXIe siècle ?- Skills, competencies, capabilities : qu'est-ce que la machine ne sait pas reproduire ?- Quels modèles inventent déjà l'apprentissage de demain ?- Que peut-on souhaiter pour nos enfants et les générations futures ? Chapitrage :- François Taddei, apprendre pour devenir, pas pour servir- Apprendre à quoi bon, puisqu'il y a l'iA ?- Chronique Elles font la tech avec Caroline Chopinaud- Continuer d'apprendre, pour devenir- Débrief de Cyrille et Mick François Taddei : https://www.linkedin.com/in/fran%C3%A7ois-taddei-3696b919/Learning Planet Institute : https://www.learningplanetinstitute.org/Rapport – IA et Enseignement Supérieur : formation, structuration et appropriation par la société : https://www.enseignementsup-recherche.gouv.fr/sites/default/files/2025-07/rapport-intelligence-artificielle-et-enseignement-sup-rieur-formation-structuration-et-appropriation-par-la-soci-t--37540.pdf (c) Trench Tech, LE podcast des « Esprits Critiques pour une Tech Éthique »Épisode enregistré le 29/05/2026 ---

Rossinavi is one of Italy's most distinctive full-custom superyacht builders, where beauty, engineering, family heritage, and advanced propulsion technology come together in every one-off build.In this episode of Yachting USA, Rick Thomas speaks with Federico Rossi of Rossinavi about what makes Italian yacht building different, from the cultural importance of beauty and craftsmanship to the technical discipline required to build steel and aluminium superyachts at the highest level.The conversation explores Rossinavi's full-custom approach, why every yacht is treated as a unique project, and why keeping key fabrication, components, know-how, and quality control in-house remains central to the shipyard's identity. Federico also speaks about Tuscany, Viareggio, Pisa, local marine supply chains, and the deep Italian infrastructure that supports yacht building at this level.Rossinavi's innovation story is also front and centre, including hybrid-electric propulsion, battery systems, solar integration, AI-supported power management, lightweight aluminium catamaran design, and the challenge of delivering new technology without compromising the aesthetic language of Italian luxury.From Rossinavi USA and after-sales support to future fuels, redundancy, vessel availability, hydrogen, LNG, and the technologies that may shape the next generation of superyachts, this is a focused look inside a brand built on Italian design culture, technical control, and long-term yacht-building vision.━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ SUPPORTED BY Engineered Yacht Solutions ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ https://eyswelding.com

In this episode of Walk Talk Listen, Maurice Bloem speaks with Caterina Tino, ACT Alliance's Representative to the United Nations. Growing up in Rome, Caterina was shaped by a family that lived their faith through service, a Scout movement that emphasized citizenship and responsibility, and an early encounter with the world of international development that sparked a lifelong calling. What followed was a journey marked by determination, unexpected turns, and more than a few setbacks along the way.   The conversation explores how values become action, the lessons learned from working in Kosovo during a period of reconstruction, the realities of building a career in international cooperation, and the role faith communities can play in addressing today's global challenges. Caterina also reflects on rejection, resilience, family, and why creating change often begins with small acts of service and solidarity.   Caterina is an international development professional with expertise in human rights, advocacy, and partnerships. Prior to joining ACT Alliance, she worked with UNICEF, UNFPA, and the United Nations Interim Administration Mission in Kosovo (UNMIK), and contributed to the global civil society campaign that helped secure adoption of the UN Arms Trade Treaty. Caterina holds a Master's degree in Human Rights and Conflict Management from the Sant'Anna School of Advanced Studies in Pisa, Italy.   Listener Engagement: Discover the songs picked by Caterina and other guests on our #walktalklisten here.

Raffaella Romagnolo"La segreta cura"Mondadori Editorewww.mondadori.itCon coraggio e determinazione, con lo sguardo lucido e partecipe della scrittrice e una prosa sorvegliata e diretta, Raffaella Romagnolo affida a queste pagine un racconto personale impervio, affrontandolo con il contegno di chi sa tenere gli occhi sulla porzione di sentiero davanti a sé, prima che sulla cima.«Non avevo mai pensato tanto in vita mia a cosa succedeva sotto la mia pelle.» Che quella allo specchio fosse un'immagine ingannevole, che sotto la pelle fossero in atto processi misteriosi e ineluttabili, Raffaella Romagnolo lo ha scoperto a ventisette anni. E ci sono voluti quasi tre decenni dalla diagnosi di sclerosi multipla perché decidesse di raccontare ciò che a lungo è rimasto chiuso in un faldone di cartoncino rosso, l'archivio personale della sua storia clinica. All'inizio, la malattia convive con l'amore per la montagna e obiettivi ambiziosi: l'alta quota, la vetta, il monte Rosa, il Bianco. Il tentativo è ricalibrare le sfide a partire dai limiti di un corpo giovane e apparentemente sano, che di quei limiti grida tutta l'angustia. Ma, insieme alle difficoltà, comincia a manifestarsi anche la scrittura, che si nutre di ogni esperienza e diventa lo strumento per provare a stanare ciò a cui è arduo dare un nome. Come per la stesura di un buon romanzo, i dati di realtà diventano allora puntello e carburante: con grinta, metodo e disciplina, l'autrice riesamina i primi consulti medici, i referti, le prescrizioni con i loro pesanti effetti collaterali, il lento percorso di consapevolezza. Fino ad accettare che convivere con una malattia cronica significa modificare il proprio sguardo su se stessi e sul mondo. Ma comporta anche essere visti con occhi diversi. Qualche volta con paura, spesso con curiosità e comprensione: la fragilità, che è di tutti gli umani, non lascia indifferenti.Raffaella Romagnolo è nata a Casale Monferrato nel 1971 e vive sulle colline tra Piemonte e Liguria. Tra i suoi romanzi: La masnà (2012, ora riproposto negli Oscar Mondadori), Tutta questa vita (2013), La figlia sbagliata (2015, candidato premio Strega 2016, premio Società Lucchese dei Lettori 2016), Destino (2018), Di luce propria (2021, premio Pisa), Il cedro del Libano (2023, premio Campiello Natura). Respira con me (2019) è stato finalista al premio Strega Ragazzi e Ragazze 2020. Il romanzo Aggiustare l'universo (2023) è stato finalista al premio Strega 2024. Il suo racconto Come non sono diventata madre compare nella raccolta L'amore inevitabile. Storie di genitori, storie di figli (2026).

"Czy ja jestem normalna, że chcę mieć dziecko sama?" z tym jednym pytaniem moja dzisiejsza gościni poszła kiedyś do swojej terapeutki. Dziś jest mamą Maksa, partnerką Tomka i jedną z tych kobiet, które pokazują, że jeśli macierzyństwo jest dla Ciebie ważne, wybór zawsze jest.Po odcinku o mrożeniu komórek jajowych dostałam od Was lawinę wiadomości. Pisałyście, że brakuje Wam informacji, że lekarze nie mówią Wam wszystkiego, że czujecie się pod ścianą. Dlatego dzisiaj idziemy o krok dalej: rozmawiam z Zuzą, moją koleżanką ze studiów, która zdecydowała się na samodzielne macierzyństwo i skorzystała z banku nasienia w Danii.Zuza opowiada o wszystkim, o co pytałyście mnie w wiadomościach: jak wybrać bank nasienia, ile rzeczy wie o dawcy swojego dziecka, ile to wszystko kosztuje, dlaczego trzeba wyjeżdżać za granicę, jak wygląda punkcja bez narkozy, czym jest lęk poporodowy (o którym prawie nikt nie mówi) i co odpowiedzieć ludziom, którzy twierdzą, że "z dzieckiem nikt Cię nie zechce".Jest też happy end, ale o nim posłuchajcie sami.Jeśli ten odcinek Cię poruszył albo był dla Ciebie ważny – zostaw komentarz, polub i zasubskrybuj kanał. Twoje wiadomości po poprzednim odcinku sprawiły, że ta rozmowa w ogóle się wydarzyła.

Ormai in Italia non c'è episodio di cronaca che non susciti una immediata polarizzazione delle posizioni e delle inevitabili polemiche, senza sforzarsi di analizzare i fatti. E' quanto sta succedendo in queste ore dopo il sanguinoso investimento da parte di El Koudri di diverse persone a bordo della sua auto. Un soggetto con problemi psichiatrici la cui affiliazione con rete terroristiche al momento non è accertata. Ne discutiamo con Francesco Strazzari, Professore ordinario di relazioni internazionali alla Scuola Superiore Sant’Anna di Pisa e il giornalista Estefano Tamburrini.

In this episode, we explore why Estonia's education system continues to attract global attention - from top PISA results to digital learning and AI in schools. Kai Koort from Education Estonia and the Education and Youth Board explains how teacher autonomy, inclusive education, creativity, and a strong growth mindset shape student success. The conversation also looks at Estonia's balanced approach to digitalisation, the growing international interest in Estonian kindergartens, and how the AI Leap initiative is pushing schools to rethink learning, teaching, and future skills in the age of artificial intelligence.

Una delle tecno-fobie più diffuse è la paura dei robot: robot che prendono il nostro posto di lavoro, robot che si ribellano. Eppure non si vedono robot maggiordomi, né robot che svolgono quei compiti che nessuno vorrebbe svolgere. Il fatto è che ancora i robot non sono pronti a stare in mezzo a noi: non ci capiscono abbastanza e perciò non sono abbastanza sicuri. Di intesa tra robot e umani si intendono però all’IIT, dove da anni studiano protesi robotiche, oggetti concettualmente non diversi da robot indossabili. E ora stanno pensando a come riversare quello che hanno imparato nella robotica collaborativa, sia domestica sia industriale. Ne abbiamo parlato a "Research to Innovate" a Bologna con Antonio Bicchi , professore di Robotica all’Università di Pisa e Senior Scientist dell’Istituto Italiano di tecnologia.

In una super domenica di sport noi iniziamo con la Serie A e con le sfide delle 12. Il turno di oggi ha cambiato le gerarchie della corsa Champions: le vittorie di Milan, Roma e Como spingono la Juve, sconfitta dalla Fiorentina, addirittura al sesto posto. Intanto il nostro Dario Ricci è a San Siro per raccontarci la festa Scudetto dell'Inter.La nostra analisi delle partite di oggi comincia con Mario Ielpo: il Milan vince a Marassi, spazza via la crisi e vede l'obiettivo a portata di mano.A seguire Iacopo Savelli ci racconta il derby della Capitale, con la doppietta di Mancini che porta gli uomini di Gasperini a un passo dall'Europa che conta.Umore ben diverso a Torino: la squadra di Spalletti crolla in casa e a 90 minuti dalla fine del campionato non ha più il destino nelle proprie mani. Quarto posto ora davvero complicato. Ne parliamo con Massimo Zampini.Il Napoli invece, con la netta vittoria di Pisa prenota il secondo posto e si tira fuori dalla lotta per l'Europa, con Conte che può festeggiare la Champions. Sentiamo cosa ne pensa Enrico Fedele.Spazio anche agli altri sport: seguiamo live la finale degli Internazionali d'Italia insieme a Jacopo Lo Monaco.

W Polsce żyje ponad 180 nieuchwytnych seryjnych morderców. Część z nich mija was na ulicy, nosi dziecko sąsiadki na rękach albo siedzi obok w kawiarni, bo psychopaci genialnie udają normalność.W tym odcinku rozmawiam z Katarzyną Bondą, królową polskiego kryminału, autorką bestsellerów i osobą, która spędziła trzy miesiące w sądzie, czytając 140 tomów akt jednej z najmroczniejszych polskich spraw. Jej najnowsza książka "Dom Bestii" jest oparta na prawdziwej historii dusiciela z Woli, mordercy, który nigdy nie wskazał, gdzie ukrył ciała.Mówimy o tym, jak rodzi się morderca. Dlaczego każdy sprawca był kiedyś ofiarą. Co dzieje się w głowie kobiety, która jednym ciosem trafia w serce swojego oprawcy. Po czym mordercy w milisekundę rozpoznają, że to właśnie ty będziesz ich ofiarą. I co naprawdę ratuje życie, gdy ktoś cię zaatakuje.Katarzyna Bonda - autorka bestsellerowych kryminałów i powieści opartych na prawdziwych zbrodniach. Pisała m.in. "Polskie morderczynie", "Krew z piachu", "Kolekcjoner lalek", serię z profilerem Bogdanem Lachem ("Zbrodnia doskonała", "Motyw ukryty") i "Efekt morza" (inspirowane sprawą Iwony Wieczorek). Jej najnowsza książka "Dom Bestii" to opowieść o mordercy seryjnym, dusicielu z Woli, historia, która wydarzyła się naprawdę.Zostaw komentarz pod filmem, jestem ciekawa, co was najbardziej poruszyło w tej rozmowie.Zasubskrybuj kanał, żeby nie przegapić kolejnych spotkań.Udostępnij ten odcinek osobie, która kocha true crime albo tej, którą chcesz nauczyć ostrożności.#KatarzynaBonda #DomBestii #TrueCrimePolska #Kryminał #DusicielzWoli #Podcast #polskipodcast IG: www.instagram.com/nataliakusiak o mnie: https://www.nataliakusiak.comPatronite: https://patronite.pl/pierwszarandka

Neste episódio do Conversa Paralela, Lara Brenner e Arthur Morisson recebem Carlos Nadalim, ex-secretário nacional de alfabetização, e William Cunha, doutor em física e ex-conselheiro nacional de educação. O debate central gira em torno de uma questão crucial: se o Brasil investe cerca de 6% do seu PIB em educação — patamar semelhante ao de países desenvolvidos —, por que os resultados no PISA e outros rankings internacionais permanecem estagnados? Os convidados explicam que a busca honesta pela verdade na educação revela que o problema não é a falta de verba, mas a carência de uma reestruturação curricular baseada em evidências científicas sólidas. Nadalim detalha os cinco componentes essenciais para o ensino da leitura e como o programa "Tempo de Aprender" demonstrou que é possível aumentar a fluência leitora em crianças de contextos vulneráveis em poucos meses. William Cunha traz uma análise técnica sobre o Plano Nacional de Educação (PNE) e o modelo de Singapura, onde a prática docente ocupa 80% da formação dos professores, contrastando com o foco excessivamente sociológico e teórico das faculdades brasileiras. Uma conversa indispensável para pais, educadores e cidadãos preocupados com o resgate de bons valores e ideias no coração do Brasil.

Antonia Tosiek - literaturoznawczyni, pisarka (również wierszy), autorka książki 'Przepraszam za brzydkie pismo. Pamiętniki wiejskich kobiet'. To esej o życiu kobiet, które pisały o sobie przez całe stulecie i wysyłały pamiętniki na konkursy. Antonina nie tylko przeczytała wiele zachowanych rękopisów, ale przede wszystkim w swojej książce nadała kontekst opowieściom, które kryją się na kartach zachowanych pamiętników. Jak wyglądało życie na wsi? Czy to coś jak "Chłopki"? Jak wygląda historia Polski widziana z perspektywy XX-wiecznej wsi i dlaczego ten obraz nadal może mówić dużo więcej o Polsce dziś, niż może się nam wydawać. Tak jak mówię w podcaście - uważam tę książkę za świetną i absolutnie wartą przeczytania, polecam naszą rozmowę i późniejszą lekturę. A, no i dowiesz się też co o tym wszystkim miał do powiedzenia Wiesław Myśliwski.

Former Brazilian president Bolsonaro was found to have attempted a coup after losing the 2022 presidential elections, and he was convicted to 27 years in prison. Such a conviction is unusual both for Brazil and in global comparison and speaks to the difficult but crucial role the judiciary can play when an elected leader tries to concentrate power and exceed constitutional constraints. In this second PPP episode about Brazil (you can listen to the first one, on the role of the military, here), host Licia Cianetti talks to Luciano Da Ros and Manoel Gehrke about the role the courts played in Bolsonaro's downfall, based on their recent article “How to Bring Authoritarians to Justice” published in the January 2026 issue of the Journal of Democracy. Transcript here Guests: Luciano Da Ros is Associate Professor of political science at the Federal University of Santa Catarina, Brazil. His research explores the links between democracy, judicial politics, corruption and anticorruption, particularly in Latin America, and he is the co-author of the book Brazilian Politics on Trial: Corruption and Reform under Democracy (Lynne Rienner, 2022). Manoel Gehrke is a Research Fellow at the University of Pisa, Italy, and former Research Fellow at CEDAR. He works on political accountability, contemporary threats to democracy, judicial politics, and the political economy of environmental degradation. He has published widely on the causes and consequences of prosecuting and convicting former heads of government. Presenter: Licia Cianetti is Associate Professor at the University of Birmingham and Founding Deputy Director of CEDAR. The People, Power, Politics podcast brings you the latest insights into the factors that are shaping and re-shaping our political world. It is brought to you by the Centre for Elections, Democracy, Accountability and Representation (CEDAR) based at the University of Birmingham, United Kingdom.

A frustrated ticket-buyer who testified at the Live Nation antitrust trial says she was genuinely shocked that a jury found the company does have a harmful monopoly on concert venues, but it's music to her ears. There's tension between the Vatican and the White House after Pope Leo comes out as pro-peace and anti-tyrant — and U.S. President Donald Trump says the Pope "should get his act together". The National Chief of the Assembly of First Nations says her members need more than contrition from the RCMP for surveilling Indigenous people. Cindy Woodhouse-Nepinak tells us the police, and CSIS, need to hand over all of the unredacted files.A 91-year-old peace activist walks across Ireland to protest the American military's use of an airport in Shannon — which she says is a direct violation of Irish neutrality. A church in a small British village that rivals the leaning tower of Pisa for its slanted spire also has crooked floors — and the congregation is inclined to do something about it. Millions of years ago, the state of Maryland was teeming with megalodons — and now, lawmakers there have just designated that gigantic, terrifying, fortunately extinct creature the official state shark.As It Happens, the Thursday Edition. Radio that hopes it doesn't come back to bite them.

Max Pearson presents a collection of the week's Witness History interviews from the BBC World Service. Our guest is Sahar Saleem, an Egyptian paleoradiologist specialising in using medical imaging technology to study mummies and ancient artefacts.We start with the story a Jewish interpreter who helped guard Adolf Hitler's teeth in the final days of the Second World War. Then, the engineering efforts to reduce the tilt of the Leaning Tower of Pisa - which kept it closed to the public for 11 years.We hear a Nepalese activist recall the massive protests that led to the restoration of multi-party democracy in 1990.Plus, a childhood memory of the first major surrealist exhibition in New York.Finally, we hear of the current whereabouts of Jorge, a popular Argentine sea turtle.Contributors: Lyubov Summ - granddaughter of interpreter Yelena Rzhevskaya.Nunziante Squeglia - professor of geotechnics at the University of Pisa.Durga Thapa - Nepalese activist.Carroll Janis - performer at the first major surrealist exhibition.Nicky Salapu - former goalkeeper for American Samoa,Alejandro Saubidet - Argentine marine biologist.(Photo: Pisa Leaning Tower and Pisa Cathedral, in the celebrated Piazza dei Miracoli.

On 15 December 2001, the Leaning Tower of Pisa reopened to the public after an unprecedented 11-year closure. Famous worldwide for its dramatic lean, the tower also became, during the 1990s, the most closely monitored building on Earth. Engineers and scientists watched anxiously as the tilt worsened year by year, raising the very real possibility that the tower could topple. The lengthy restoration effort — invisible to tourists but watched closely by experts — was a race against time, during which visitors were barred from climbing the tower for over a decade.The complex €27 million stabilization project reduced the tower's tilt by around 17 inches, securing the iconic structure for an estimated 200–300 years. Nunziante Squeglia, professor of geotechnics at the University of Pisa, tells Colm Flynn about the extraordinary moment the tower reopened.Eye-witness accounts brought to life by archive. Witness History is for those fascinated by and curious about the past. We take you to the events that have shaped our world through the eyes of the people who were there. For nine minutes every day, we take you back in time and all over the world, to examine wars, coups, scientific discoveries, cultural moments and much more. Recent episodes explore everything from how the Excel spreadsheet was developed, the creation of cartoon rabbit Miffy and how the sound barrier was broken.We look at the lives of some of the most famous leaders, artists, scientists and personalities in history, including: the moment Reagan and Gorbachev met in Geneva, Haitian singer Emerante de Pradines' life and Omar Sharif's legendary movie entrance in Lawrence of Arabia.You can learn all about fascinating and surprising stories, like the invention of a stent which has saved lives around the world; the birth of the G7; and the meeting of Maldives' ministers underwater. We cover everything from World War Two and Cold War stories to Black History Month and our journeys into space.(Photo: The Leaning Tower of Pisa. Credit: Martin Ruegner/via Getty Images)

Only 35% of kids testing on grade level is not a headline, it's a flashing warning light. I sit down with education advocate and Substack writer Shaka Mitchell to ask the uncomfortable question behind the data: if students are just as capable as ever, why are outcomes so uneven and, in some places, outright collapsing? We get specific about what the numbers mean for families, communities, and the future of the American dream, and we look at why “systemic failure” often traces back to incentives, bureaucracy, and a lack of flexibility. From there, we dig into school choice, educational freedom, and the idea that funding should follow the student rather than automatically flowing to buildings. Shaka explains how education savings accounts can support a more customizable education model, why ZIP code zoning can function as “school choice by real estate,” and how a more student-centered approach could look a lot like the intent behind IEPs, but applied far more broadly. We also talk about international comparisons like PISA, the erosion of trust in institutions, and practical moves districts could make immediately, including getting smartphones out of the school day to restore attention and focus. Then we shift gears to something surprisingly hopeful: music. Shaka shares his Come Together Music Project and why shared songs and shared experiences can build relationships, soften polarization, and remind us we still have common ground. We close with a look at the coming Education Freedom Tax Credit and why it could matter for millions of kids across public school, private school, charter school, and homeschooling.
