Jawhar Aftabachi was enslaved as a child by the Ottomans in the Black Sea region in the early sixteenth century. He was then sold to the Ottoman admiral Selman Reis, who took him with his fleet to Egypt and Yemen during his wars with the Portuguese; carried, after the admiral's death, by the admiral's nephew Mustafa Bayram to Gujarat on the western coast of India; and finally, when the Mughal army invaded Gujarat in 1534, taken into imperial service along with thousands of Eurasian and Abyssinian slaves. Here he rose to the position of water-carrier for the Mughal Emperor Humayun and chronicled this experience in a remarkable , Persian text called Tazkirah-i Vaqi`at or “memoir of events”. In Slavery in the Early Mughal World: The Life and Thoughts of Jawhar Aftabachi (1520s–1580s) (Oxford UP, 2025), Ali Anooshahr uses Jawhar's life and memoirs as a unique window into slavery, selfhood, and the rise of the early modern Indian Ocean world. Bringing a micro-historical study to a "subaltern Mughal author" offers the opportunity to reassess the history of slavery in South Asia from an original perspective and to reframe the connected history of the early modern world. Jawhar's life shows in vivid detail the eruption of the Mediterranean and Black Sea cultural regions into the Indian Ocean world, shedding light onto the collapse of older bonds of interdependency in the face of impersonal structures of new centralized states, and bearing witness to the process of individualization of people which was experienced not as a triumphalist "rise of the self" but as alienation. Ali Anooshahr is a historian of Mughal India as well as the "Persianate World" during the early modern era. He received his B.A. from the University of Texas at Austin in 1998, and his M.A. (2002) and Ph.D. (2005) from UCLA. He is a Professor of History at the University of California, Davis.

Practice ownership comes with a unique paradox: the autonomy you fought for also means carrying the full weight of clinical work, business management, and leadership. In this episode, Tracy breaks down the World Health Organization's three-phase burnout framework and reveals why nearly half of all physicians are experiencing burnout symptoms—and what makes practice owner burnout distinctly different and dangerous.  Click here for full show notes  Is your practice growth-ready? See Where Your Practice Stands: Take our Practice Growth Readiness Assessment  Episode Highlights  The WHO's three phases of burnout: exhaustion, cynicism, and reduced professional efficacy—and why recognizing which phase you're in determines what help you need  Why American culture makes Phase 1 exhaustion nearly impossible to recognize (hint: we've been conditioned to see depletion as a badge of honor)  The shocking global statistics: from 43% burnout rates in the US to 66% emotional exhaustion among Portuguese physicians  Why practice owner burnout can't be solved with employed physician solutions—you can't "delegate up" when you ARE the up  Real examples of what each phase looks like: from sitting in your driveway without energy to enter your home, to thinking cynical thoughts that horrify you  The $4.6 billion annual cost of physician burnout to the US healthcare system—and the incalculable personal cost to you, your practice, and your family  Why autonomy alone isn't enough: the protection it provides versus the isolation and weight it creates  Memorable Quotes  "Burnout is not a personal failing. It's a predictable occupational phenomenon with identifiable phases."  "Phase one exhaustion is your prevention opportunity. This is where you still have an easy exit ramp. If you catch yourself and actually address it—not by doubling down, but by making strategic changes—prevention strategies actually work."  "You can't think your way out of cynicism using the same thinking that got you there."  "Your practice will survive a few weeks without you, but you might not survive continuing to push through phase three."  "When you're the owner, you can't just leave. Your practice is your livelihood, your investment, and your legacy."  "You are not broken. You are not weak. You are responding predictably to chronic stress that hasn't been successfully managed."  Closing  Understanding burnout isn't about labeling yourself—it's about getting clear on what level of support you actually need. Whether you're in the prevention zone, need intervention, or are facing a crisis, there's a path forward.

In this Dental Leaders episode, Payman sits down with Fabian Farbahi, a 22-year-old Sheffield dental student who's already mastered something most people spend decades learning: the power of genuine conversation. Fabian spends 3.5-hour train journeys striking up chats with strangers because he's fascinated by people's stories—the same curiosity that drove him to become president of Sheffield's dental student society and spend two months on elective in Brazil learning Portuguese. They discuss Fabian's refreshingly unformed career path—he's drawn to oral surgery, intrigued by sports dentistry, passionate about public health behaviour change, and comfortable not knowing exactly which direction he'll take. The conversation covers his transformation from small-town student to confident stage presenter, lessons learned managing volunteers without pay, and why the best time to take business risks is when you're young.

Through cosmic communication, learn how these mysterious beings may hold the key to our spiritual evolution.UFOs and the Extra-terrestrial Message reveals how UFOs are much more than strange shapes in the sky; they may be part of a multi-dimensional universe, which has become a common concept in everything from quantum physics to sci-fi blockbusters. String theory, hyperspace and dark matter have led physicists to realise that the three dimensions we thought described the universe aren't enough – there may actually be numerous dimensions. As this possibility evolves, the real prospect of meeting our extra-terrestrial neighbours emerges.

The Portuguese artist Joana Vasconcelos is renowned for her large-scale sculptural pieces which have featured in galleries across the world. She has used materials such as fabric, plastic and even tampons to construct her works. In June 2018 her exhibition I'm Your Mirror opened at the Guggenheim Museum in Bilbao, Spain. For this Joana made a series of new sculptures, including an enormous Venetian-style mask, made of overlapping mirrors. The construction of the huge mask was a process full of challenges as the enormous structure took shape in Joana's Lisbon studio. In this programme Anna McNamee follows Joana through the process of working with the mirrors and explores how the piece is designed, shaped and packed up ready to begin its journey to Bilbao.

Today's story: Zippers are everywhere: on clothes, bags, and accessories. But the basic design of a zipper hasn't changed in a century. Now, though, the world's biggest zipper maker, YKK, has a new design that eliminates the tape next to the zipper's teeth.

TRASCRIZIONE https://italianwithgiuliaprofessor.blogspot.com/2025/12/parole-della-patente-italiana-lingua.htmlCiao! Benvenuto in questo nuovo episodio del podcast “Italian with Giulia”. Oggi vediamo insieme cinque parole molto utili per chi sta studiando per la patente. Sono parole che trovi spesso nei test, ma dette in modo semplice così capisci tutto senza stress. Andiamo!La prima parola è spazio totale di arresto. Questo nome sembra difficile, ma in realtà è semplice: lo spazio totale di arresto è la distanza che serve alla macchina per fermarsi completamente. Cioè, da quando tu vedi un pericolo e decidi di frenare, fino al momento in cui la macchina si ferma davvero. Questo spazio dipende dalla velocità e dalle condizioni della strada.La seconda parola è tempo di reazione. È il tempo che passa tra il momento in cui vedi un pericolo e il momento in cui cominci a frenare. Per esempio: vedi un pedone che attraversa, e dopo un attimo freni. Quel piccolo “attimo” è il tempo di reazione. Più sei attento, più il tuo tempo di reazione è veloce.La terza parola è consentire. Nei test della patente lo vedi spesso, e significa “permettere”. Per esempio: “Il semaforo in figura non consente di superare la velocità indicata”. Vuol dire che il semaforo non permette di andare più veloce del limite.La quarta parola è essere munito. È un'espressione un po' formale, e significa “avere con sé”. Nei test puoi trovare frasi come: “Il conducente deve essere munito di patente”, cioè il conducente deve avere la patente con sé, deve portarla.E l'ultima parola di oggi è la motrice. La motrice è la parte davanti di un veicolo pesante, come un camion. È la parte che ha il motore e che traina il rimorchio. Quindi, se vedi un camion con due parti, la motrice è quella che tira e guida tutto il resto.Bene, queste erano le parole di oggi! Spero che ti aiutino a capire meglio i test della patente e a studiare con più tranquillità. Ci sentiamo nel prossimo episodio!--GUARDA LE LIVE OGNI GIORNO SU TIKTOK PER PRENDERE LA PATENTE ITALIANA--content offered by: Giulia Mannocci- Italian as second and foreign language teacher (Certified with DITALS)- CILS Examiner & PLIDA examiner assistant- Ce.Co.L. interviewer and examiner- English, Spanish and Portuguese languages Teacher- On-site and Remote Conference Interpreter- Legal Interpreter & Translator- Proofreader and texts' editorLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/giulia-mannocci-interpretertranslator/LinkTree: https://linktr.ee/Italianwithgiulia

Meet Zheng Yi Sao (also known as Ching Shih) — history's most successful and most feared pirate of all time.

Prepare to clutch your pumpkin spice latte a little tighter, friend, because today we're diving into the chaotic, deadly, and surprisingly dramatic history of spice. Yes — that cozy sprinkle on your latte once launched wars, bankrupted empires, fueled colonization, and led to one of the worst genocides of the 1600s. Delicious! In this episode, we explore how everyday seasonings like nutmeg, cinnamon, and black pepper sparked global conflict and reshaped world history. From the pepper-obsessed Portuguese to the Dutch colonizers who committed atrocities in the Banda Islands, the spice trade was anything but fragrant. You'll learn: Why black pepper was basically 17th-century Bitcoin How European explorers weren't “discovering” anything except their own incompetence The wild propaganda Arabic traders used (giant birds! flying snakes!) The brutal rise of the Dutch East India Company (VOC) The horrific Banda Islands genocide and the 4-year Nutmeg War How smuggling spice plants undermined European monopolies And the absolutely iconic Buddha Tooth Bamboozle — the ultimate “you thought!” moment in colonial history This episode is a chaotic cocktail of world history, women's history, weird history, humor, and righteous rage. If you never look at your spice cabinet the same again… mission accomplished. Call to Action: If you love a spicy historical deep dive, share the episode or leave a rating — we're almost at our goal!

Building a new wine category is not something that is easy to plan. It often is more like a startup, where belief in the product and market is just as critical as a defined strategy. That's how Luisa Amorim, CEO of Amorim Family Estates, launched Mirabilis into being an iconic still white wine of the Douro Valley. She outlines priority markets, views on scores and social media, and her belief in word of mouth marketing. Detailed Show Notes: Luisa's background: hospitality, marketing; started in the family business at 23; spent 3 years in a global rotation programAmorim Family Estates3 regions in Portugal (Douro, Dao, Alentejo)Each property has its own winery and team and does hospitality with a culture and food componentDivision of bigger Amorim cork company and familyMirabilis (part of Quinta Nova)Produced white wine from the beginning (2000)First an unoaked white, then a reserve, then Mirabilis (Latin for “marvelous”)White was not popular in Portugal at the time, production processes were not set up for whitesTook 2 years of experimentation, 1st vintage 2011 (2,000 bottles)Whites still have pricing barriers vs redsDouro white differentiation: close to Atlantic, schist soils, native grapes, and blendingIntroducing Douro whites: older people were harder to get on board, younger were more open to explorationNeed to have belief in product and its viability over having a detailed marketing planMarketing focus has been on teaching Portuguese wines (including culture and traditions)Geographic focus for MirabilisPortugal 1st - need to be well respected in the home countrySwitzerland, Benelux (lots of Michelin Star restaurants)Not Scandinavia (targeting higher end of the market)Brazil (speak Portuguese)USA, Canada5 people, based in Portugal, work internationally; travel 3-5x/year to each marketWhile design and packaging, price positioning are important, the sales team and their relationships are critical in the wine industryHaving a good wine is more important than press or reviews, people are paying less attention to reviewsConsumers now look at peers and friends for recommendations and they need to trust the wine producerSocial media - “should be doing more” - hiring younger people into marketingWine marketing needs to capture the “soul” of the wineMake things simpler, less technical talkMore provocative, “sexy” vs saying the same thing all wineries sayHas not done any paid advertisingRelies on word of mouth (people taste, buy, and talk) and partnerships Hosted on Acast.
