BANNARE CALIBRI: la nuova battaglia politica parte da un font nel 2025!Il Dipartimento di Stato USA ordina: ''Stop Calibri, si torna a Times New Roman''. Motivo? Decoro e professione VS inclusione e accessibilità.Se passano decisioni simili, ogni design pubblico rischia di riflettere solo la politica del governo corrente — e la neutralità amministrativa svanisce. Un cambio di font può davvero diventare una guerra culturale che impatta milioni di documenti ufficiali e tutti i cittadini che li leggono ogni giorno?~~~~~ INGAGGI E SPONSORSHIP ~~~~~ Per contatti commerciali: sales@matteoflora.comPer consulenze legali: info@42LawFirm.it~~~~~ SOSTIENI IL CANALE! ~~~~~Con la Membership PRO puoi supportare il Canale » https://link.mgpf.it/proSe vuoi qui la mia attrezzatura » https://mgpf.it/attrezzatura~~~~~ SEGUIMI ANCHE ONLINE CON LE NOTIFICHE! ~~~~~» CANALE WHATSAPP » https://link.mgpf.it/wa» CANALE TELEGRAM » https://mgpf.it/tg» CORSO (Gratis) IN FUTURO » https://mgpf.it/nl» NEWSLETTER » https://mgpf.it/nl~~~~~ CIAO INTERNET E MATTEO FLORA ~~~~~ Questo è “Ciao Internet!” la prima e più seguita trasmissione di TECH POLICY in lingua italiana, online su YouTube e in Podcast.Io sono MATTEO FLORA e sono:» Professore in Fondamenti di Sicurezza delle AI e delle SuperIntelligenze (ESE)» Professore ac in Corporate Reputation e Crisis Management (Pavia).Sono un Imprenditore Seriale del digitale e ho fondato:» The Fool » https://thefool.it - La società italiana leader di Customer Insight» The Magician » https://themagician.agency - Atelier di Advocacy e Gestione della Crisi» 42 Law Firm » https://42lf.it - Lo Studio Legale per la Trasformazione Digitale » ...e tante altre qui: https://matteoflora.com/#aziendeSono Future Leader (IVLP) del Dipartimento di Stato USA sotto Amministrazione Obama nel programma “Combating Cybercrime (2012)”.Sono Presidente di PermessoNegato, l'associazione italiana che si occupa di Pornografia Non- Consensuale e Revenge Porn.Conduco in TV “Intelligenze Artificiali” su Mediaset/TgCom.

Of all the habits I have to break, I never thought a person would become one. With you, whatever I resist digs deeper. The weather isn't helping, and I keep adding more sugar to my chai, as if sweetness could settle the unrest inside.Read the prose here. https://futurestrong.org/2025/12/14/wish-i-had-never-met-you-a-prose-poem-by-rachana/Hi, I'm Rachana, and I write short stories, poetry and essays on our enduring humanity. For 15+ years I've been helping people unlock their highest potential and build lives of purpose, resilience and unstoppable momentum.My big dream? To consciously create a better future where everyone is excited about their own potential – and yes, I'm aiming to win the Nobel in December 2044 for contributions to human development. Crazy? Maybe. But will you join me on this journey of growth and transformation?

When the news cycle is loud and life is already heavy, your nervous system pays the bill. In this episode of Healthy Mind, Healthy Life, host Charu talks with Andrea W LeDew, a former lawyer and mother of four, about turning political stress, grief and caregiver burnout into something usable through poetry, journaling and structured creative expression. Andrea shares how parenting a son with autism and intellectual disabilities, managing estate responsibilities after losing both parents and living through pandemic-era uncertainty pushed her toward writing as a mental health tool. The conversation also goes straight at the uncomfortable stuff. Emotional eating as coping, self-compassion vs self-sabotage, activism vs burnout and how to stay engaged without spiraling into rumination. Andrea's book Polemics: Political Poetry, Poems and Prose frames writing as survival and invites listeners to process big emotions without pretending the world is not on fire. About the Guest: Andrea W LeDew is a former lawyer turned stay-at-home mother of four and a writer focused on poetry and essays that explore political change, civic identity and emotional resilience. Her book Polemics: Political Poetry, Poems and Prosebrings together years of work shaped by grief, caregiving and public events. Key Takeaways: Political stress is real mental load. Naming it reduces shame and makes it workable for mental health and emotional well-being. Writing can function like therapy when it helps you feel, label and metabolize grief, rage and fear instead of suppressing them. Structure matters. Rhyme, form and constraints can keep expression honest without turning into endless rumination. Caregiver life adds chronic stress. If you are parenting autism or disability needs, coping tools must be realistic, not performative wellness. Comfort eating is common. The key line is habit. When coping becomes automatic daily behavior it shifts from self-compassion to self-sabotage. Activism can be healthier than hiding if it moves you from helplessness into values-based action and community connection. You can hold patriotism and critique at the same time. Reclaiming belonging should not erase marginalized experiences. Free speech and civic participation are not abstract. They are day-to-day practices that protect mental health through agency. “Touch grass” advice is incomplete. A better play is balanced inputs, boundaries on doomscrolling and intentional creative output. Your story is not finished. Creativity gives shape to chaos so it becomes something you can hold.

Se passerà, la schedatura digitale sarà obbligatoria come il passaporto: ogni like, foto o partecipazione a manifestazioni può influire sul permesso di ingresso.Il rischio?

If you've ever struggled to find the line between teaching your children life skills while also not putting them in dangerous situations, then this episode is for you. In it, we explore what the true purpose of promoting autonomy in our kids is from a biblical perspective and how we can do that while fulfilling our God-given parental roles of protecting and discipling.Practicing discernment in parenting is hard in lots of areas—but especially ones in which there is so much noise about the psychological ramifications of we do/do not do something just so. Be encouraged we have great agency, as Spirit-led parents, to make judgment calls in this area of responsibility and safety that work for our families.

Ogni clic dei tuoi dipendenti su un ChatBot può esporre la tua azienda a una fuga di dati devastante. Oltre il 48% dei lavoratori usa l'AI senza controllo IT: significa che email, codici e dati sensibili rischiano di finire nei modelli AI esterni – esponendoti a multe, perdita di business e caos interno già oggi. Trascurare la Shadow AI significa mettere a rischio denaro, reputazione e competitività. La vera emergenza? Non sapere nemmeno chi lo sta facendo in azienda.

Chat Control è tornato. Sembrava morto, ma l'UE ci riprova con la ''Legge Zombie'' che minaccia la fine della privacy digitale.Ne ho discusso approfonditamente nel mio intervento agli ''Stati Generali del diritto di Internet e della Intelligenza Artificiale'', lo straordinario convegno diretto da Giuseppe Cassano e Francesco Di Ciommo. La scusa è la ''protezione dei minori'', ma la realtà tecnica è una sorveglianza di massa indiscriminata. Se passa, la crittografia End-to-End muore e siamo tutti presunti colpevoli.I criminali useranno altro, mentre i cittadini verranno esposti a backdoor e controlli.

''Con la cultura non si mangia: si governa''.Il caso della fiera dell'Editoria ''Più Libri Più Liberi'' della partecipazione della casa editrice ''Passaggio al Bosco'' non è una polemica letteraria, ma lo svelamento di una ''operazione politica di alto livello''.E mentre un centinaio di intellettuali punta alla ''espulsione'' della casa editrice, l'unico che sembra avere le idee chiare è Michele Rech, in arte ZeroCalcare, con una lucida, tagliente disamina.Perché mentre l'Associazione Italiana Editori cade (o si adagia) nella trappola cognitiva del False Balance, trattando il neofascismo come una legittima ''opinione'' da tutelare per neutralità burocratica, la destra applica la scuola della Egemonia Culturale gramsciana per occupare le casematte della società civile.Un video lungo, a tratti doloroso, per analizzare la pipeline di radicalizzazione e per spiegare perché la scelta di Michele Rech non è censura, ma Mercato Reputazionale: il rifiuto strategico di legittimare, con la propria presenza, lo spostamento della Finestra di Overton...~~~~~ INGAGGI E SPONSORSHIP ~~~~~ Per contatti commerciali: sales@matteoflora.comPer consulenze legali: info@42LawFirm.it~~~~~ SOSTIENI IL CANALE! ~~~~~Con la Membership PRO puoi supportare il Canale » https://link.mgpf.it/proSe vuoi qui la mia attrezzatura » https://mgpf.it/attrezzatura~~~~~ SEGUIMI ANCHE ONLINE CON LE NOTIFICHE! ~~~~~» CANALE WHATSAPP » https://link.mgpf.it/wa» CANALE TELEGRAM » https://mgpf.it/tg» CORSO (Gratis) IN FUTURO » https://mgpf.it/nl» NEWSLETTER » https://mgpf.it/nl~~~~~ CIAO INTERNET E MATTEO FLORA ~~~~~ Questo è “Ciao Internet!” la prima e più seguita trasmissione di TECH POLICY in lingua italiana, online su YouTube e in Podcast.Io sono MATTEO FLORA e sono:» Professore in Fondamenti di Sicurezza delle AI e delle SuperIntelligenze (ESE)» Professore ac in Corporate Reputation e Crisis Management (Pavia).Sono un Imprenditore Seriale del digitale e ho fondato:» The Fool » https://thefool.it - La società italiana leader di Customer Insight» The Magician » https://themagician.agency - Atelier di Advocacy e Gestione della Crisi» 42 Law Firm » https://42lf.it - Lo Studio Legale per la Trasformazione Digitale » ...e tante altre qui: https://matteoflora.com/#aziendeSono Future Leader (IVLP) del Dipartimento di Stato USA sotto Amministrazione Obama nel programma “Combating Cybercrime (2012)”.Sono Presidente di PermessoNegato, l'associazione italiana che si occupa di Pornografia Non- Consensuale e Revenge Porn.Conduco in TV “Intelligenze Artificiali” su Mediaset/TgCom.

Ranní brífink Štěpána Svobody: Hospodářské noviny v úterý uspořádaly summit Kompas pro Česko, kde politici i zástupci byznysu debatovali o odolnosti české ekonomiky. Hlavním zahraničním hostem byl bývalý německý vicekancléř a ministr hospodářství Robert Habeck. Ten stál během energetické krize a ruské invaze na Ukrajinu v první linii při řešení ekonomické bezpečnosti Německa i Evropy. V jeho éře se v rekordním čase stavěly terminály na zkapalněný plyn, ze kterých dnes těží i Česká republika. Jak se Habeck dívá na německou energetiku dnes? A co vzkázal Česku? To všechno vysvětluje redaktor HN Jan Brož.

La NATO pianifica un attacco preventivo contro le minacce ibride russe: davvero stiamo rischiando la Terza Guerra Mondiale?Se la politica italiana non capisce la guerra moderna, le infrastrutture digitali rischiano attacchi informatici devastanti e campagne di disinformazione già da oggi: un solo attacco cyber può bloccare interi servizi pubblici e causare perdite di oltre 20 milioni di euro in 24 ore. Prevenire in modo proattivo è legge strategica: chi aspetta di reagire… perde in partenza. E questo è il significato, per me corretto, delle parole dell'Ammiraglio NATO Giuseppe Cavo Dragone.La difesa preventiva non è un attacco, è una protezione necessaria nell'era digitale.~~~~~ INGAGGI E SPONSORSHIP ~~~~~ Per contatti commerciali: sales@matteoflora.comPer consulenze legali: info@42LawFirm.it~~~~~ SOSTIENI IL CANALE! ~~~~~Con la Membership PRO puoi supportare il Canale » https://link.mgpf.it/proSe vuoi qui la mia attrezzatura » https://mgpf.it/attrezzatura~~~~~ SEGUIMI ANCHE ONLINE CON LE NOTIFICHE! ~~~~~» CANALE WHATSAPP » https://link.mgpf.it/wa» CANALE TELEGRAM » https://mgpf.it/tg» CORSO (Gratis) IN FUTURO » https://mgpf.it/nl» NEWSLETTER » https://mgpf.it/nl~~~~~ CIAO INTERNET E MATTEO FLORA ~~~~~ Questo è “Ciao Internet!” la prima e più seguita trasmissione di TECH POLICY in lingua italiana, online su YouTube e in Podcast.Io sono MATTEO FLORA e sono:» Professore in Fondamenti di Sicurezza delle AI e delle SuperIntelligenze (ESE)» Professore ac in Corporate Reputation e Crisis Management (Pavia).Sono un Imprenditore Seriale del digitale e ho fondato:» The Fool » https://thefool.it - La società italiana leader di Customer Insight» The Magician » https://themagician.agency - Atelier di Advocacy e Gestione della Crisi» 42 Law Firm » https://42lf.it - Lo Studio Legale per la Trasformazione Digitale » ...e tante altre qui: https://matteoflora.com/#aziendeSono Future Leader (IVLP) del Dipartimento di Stato USA sotto Amministrazione Obama nel programma “Combating Cybercrime (2012)”.Sono Presidente di PermessoNegato, l'associazione italiana che si occupa di Pornografia Non- Consensuale e Revenge Porn.Conduco in TV “Intelligenze Artificiali” su Mediaset/TgCom.

L'intelligenza artificiale è una bolla finanziaria destinata a scoppiare?Tra il 2024 e il 2030 si giocheranno 7.000 miliardi di dollari: gli investimenti “circolari” tra giganti tech e startup rischiano di gonfiare artificialmente un mercato che potrebbe collassare tutto insieme. Se solo uno dei grandi player (Microsoft, NVIDIA, Oracle) fallisce, l'intero settore può crollare a catena: è già successo nel 2008 — questa volta i numeri sono 10 volte superiori.La vera domanda: bolla o rivoluzione? Il primo shock esterno può fare saltare tutto: quale sarebbe l'impatto per startup, lavoratori e investitori, e chi paga davvero il conto?~~~~~ INGAGGI E SPONSORSHIP ~~~~~ Per contatti commerciali: sales@matteoflora.comPer consulenze legali: info@42LawFirm.it~~~~~ SOSTIENI IL CANALE! ~~~~~Con la Membership PRO puoi supportare il Canale » https://link.mgpf.it/proSe vuoi qui la mia attrezzatura » https://mgpf.it/attrezzatura~~~~~ SEGUIMI ANCHE ONLINE CON LE NOTIFICHE! ~~~~~» CANALE WHATSAPP » https://link.mgpf.it/wa» CANALE TELEGRAM » https://mgpf.it/tg» CORSO (Gratis) IN FUTURO » https://mgpf.it/nl» NEWSLETTER » https://mgpf.it/nl~~~~~ CIAO INTERNET E MATTEO FLORA ~~~~~ Questo è “Ciao Internet!” la prima e più seguita trasmissione di TECH POLICY in lingua italiana, online su YouTube e in Podcast.Io sono MATTEO FLORA e sono:» Professore in Fondamenti di Sicurezza delle AI e delle SuperIntelligenze (ESE)» Professore ac in Corporate Reputation e Crisis Management (Pavia).Sono un Imprenditore Seriale del digitale e ho fondato:» The Fool » https://thefool.it - La società italiana leader di Customer Insight» The Magician » https://themagician.agency - Atelier di Advocacy e Gestione della Crisi» 42 Law Firm » https://42lf.it - Lo Studio Legale per la Trasformazione Digitale » ...e tante altre qui: https://matteoflora.com/#aziendeSono Future Leader (IVLP) del Dipartimento di Stato USA sotto Amministrazione Obama nel programma “Combating Cybercrime (2012)”.Sono Presidente di PermessoNegato, l'associazione italiana che si occupa di Pornografia Non- Consensuale e Revenge Porn.Conduco in TV “Intelligenze Artificiali” su Mediaset/TgCom.

L'Intelligenza Artificiale sta riscrivendo le regole dell'advertising.Da un lato offre una personalizzazione senza precedenti , dall'altro rischia di creare un ''inquinamento digitale'' fatto di contenuti di bassa qualità che minano la fiducia degli utenti.Ne parlo con Carlo Noseda, Presidente di IAB Italia. Con lui analizziamo lo stato dell'arte del mercato: dalla concentrazione degli investimenti nei grandi ''Walled Garden'' alla necessità di tutelare un Open Web democratico, dal cambio di paradigma della semplice ''Viewability'' alla ''Attention Economy'' e di come usare l'IA ''a valle'' per potenziare la creatività, anziché ''a monte'' per generare mediocrità.Per scoprire se il marketing sta diventando pura manipolazione algoritmica o c'è spazio per la qualità!~~~~~ INGAGGI E SPONSORSHIP ~~~~~ Per contatti commerciali: sales@matteoflora.comPer consulenze legali: info@42LawFirm.it~~~~~ SOSTIENI IL CANALE! ~~~~~Con la Membership PRO puoi supportare il Canale » https://link.mgpf.it/proSe vuoi qui la mia attrezzatura » https://mgpf.it/attrezzatura~~~~~ SEGUIMI ANCHE ONLINE CON LE NOTIFICHE! ~~~~~» CANALE WHATSAPP » https://link.mgpf.it/wa» CANALE TELEGRAM » https://mgpf.it/tg» CORSO (Gratis) IN FUTURO » https://mgpf.it/nl» NEWSLETTER » https://mgpf.it/nl~~~~~ CIAO INTERNET E MATTEO FLORA ~~~~~ Questo è “Ciao Internet!” la prima e più seguita trasmissione di TECH POLICY in lingua italiana, online su YouTube e in Podcast.Io sono MATTEO FLORA e sono:» Professore in Fondamenti di Sicurezza delle AI e delle SuperIntelligenze (ESE)» Professore ac in Corporate Reputation e Crisis Management (Pavia).Sono un Imprenditore Seriale del digitale e ho fondato:» The Fool » https://thefool.it - La società italiana leader di Customer Insight» The Magician » https://themagician.agency - Atelier di Advocacy e Gestione della Crisi» 42 Law Firm » https://42lf.it - Lo Studio Legale per la Trasformazione Digitale » ...e tante altre qui: https://matteoflora.com/#aziendeSono Future Leader (IVLP) del Dipartimento di Stato USA sotto Amministrazione Obama nel programma “Combating Cybercrime (2012)”.Sono Presidente di PermessoNegato, l'associazione italiana che si occupa di Pornografia Non- Consensuale e Revenge Porn.Conduco in TV “Intelligenze Artificiali” su Mediaset/TgCom.

Vi siete mai chiesti perché in italiano esistono due parole diverse per dire "lui"? Perché a volte leggiamo "egli" nei libri classici e altre volte sentiamo "lui" nelle conversazioni quotidiane? Questo articolo esplorerà in profondità la differenza tra queste due forme, la loro evoluzione storica e, soprattutto, quando usare l'una o l'altra nella comunicazione moderna. Come e Quando Usare EGLI, Storia e Significato Cosa Significano "LUI" ed "EGLI"? Sia "lui" che "egli" sono pronomi personali di terza persona singolare maschile. In pratica, entrambi significano la stessa cosa: si riferiscono a una persona di sesso maschile di cui stiamo parlando. Per esempio: Giuseppe è un bravo studente. Lui studia medicina.Giuseppe è un bravo studente. Egli studia medicina. Come si può notare, il significato è identico! Ma allora perché esistono due parole diverse per esprimere lo stesso concetto? La risposta ha a che fare con la funzione grammaticale e con l'evoluzione della lingua italiana nel corso dei secoli. La Differenza Fondamentale: Funzione di SOGGETTO Ecco la prima regola cruciale da comprendere: "egli" può essere usato SOLO come soggetto della frase, mentre "lui" può essere usato sia come soggetto che in altre funzioni grammaticali. Questa è la distinzione più importante tra le due forme. Vediamo degli esempi concreti per chiarire meglio: Come Soggetto (chi compie l'azione) Lui/Egli parla italiano molto bene. ✓Lui/Egli è arrivato in ritardo. ✓ In questi casi, entrambe le forme sono grammaticalmente corrette perché funzionano come soggetto della frase. Come Complemento Oggetto Ho visto lui ieri sera. ✓Ho visto egli ieri sera. ✗ (SBAGLIATO!) Dopo una Preposizione Vado al cinema con lui. ✓Vado al cinema con egli. ✗ (SBAGLIATO!) Dopo il Verbo Essere per Identificare Qualcuno Sei tu? No, sono lui! ✓Sei tu? No, sono egli! ✗ (SBAGLIATO!) In Costruzioni Enfatiche È lui che ha mangiato la torta! ✓È egli che ha mangiato la torta! ✗ (SBAGLIATO!) Quindi, è fondamentale ricordare: "egli" è molto più limitato nell'uso rispetto a "lui" e può apparire esclusivamente nella posizione di soggetto! La Storia di "LUI" ed "EGLI": Un Viaggio nel Tempo Per comprendere appieno l'uso di questi pronomi, è essenziale fare un viaggio nella storia della lingua italiana. Questo percorso storico aiuterà a capire perché esistono queste due forme e come si sono evolute nel tempo. Le Origini Latine EGLI è la forma più antica. Deriva dal latino "ille" (che significava "quello") ed è stata la forma standard per secoli nella lingua italiana scritta e formale. Nel Medioevo e nel Rinascimento, per scrivere in italiano corretto, era necessario usare "egli". I grandi maestri della letteratura italiana come Dante, Boccaccio e Ariosto utilizzavano esclusivamente questa forma nei loro scritti. LUI, invece, ha un'origine interessante: deriva dal latino "illui", che era una forma del dativo (cioè "a quello"). All'inizio, "lui" veniva usato solo dopo le preposizioni, come "con lui", "per lui", eccetera, oppure come complemento oggetto ("Ho visto lui"). Tuttavia, nel linguaggio parlato, la gente ha cominciato a usare "lui" anche come soggetto perché era più semplice e diretto. E quando la lingua parlata cambia, anche quella scritta prima o poi segue. Pietro Bembo e le Sue "Regole" Un personaggio chiave in questa storia è Pietro Bembo, un linguista del Cinquecento che ha scritto un'opera fondamentale chiamata "Prose della volgar lingua" (pubblicata nel 1525). Bembo voleva stabilire quali fossero le regole del "buon italiano" e ha deciso che i pronomi soggetto corretti dovevano essere "egli" ed "ella". L'aspetto più sorprendente? Bembo ha addirittura criticato alcuni usi di Dante e Boccaccio (i più grandi scrittori italiani!) quando loro usavano "lui" come soggetto, sostenendo che lo facevano "per distrazione" o "per inavvertenza". Ci voleva un certo coraggio per affermare che Dante sbagliava! Le prescrizioni di Bembo sono state così influenti che "egli" ed "ella" sono rimasti la forma "ufficiale" per secoli, anche quando la gente comune non li usava più nella vita quotidiana. Ancora negli anni recenti, nelle scuole elementari italiane, si insegnavano i verbi così: io sonotu seiegli è (non "lui è"!)noi siamovoi sieteessi sono (non "loro sono"!) Oggi, quando si insegna italiano agli stranieri, si usano subito "lui", "lei" e "loro", perché sono le forme che si usano realmente nella comunicazione contemporanea! "Egli" nella Letteratura Italiana Nei grandi classici della letteratura italiana, "egli", "ella", "essi" ed "esse" sono onnipresenti. Ecco alcuni esempi significativi: Ludovico Ariosto - Orlando Furioso (1516) "Egli partì pieno d'onore e gloria""Ella piangeva la sorte sua infelice" Ugo Foscolo - Ultime lettere di Jacopo Ortis (1802) "Ella non mi ama e io l'adoro""Egli è troppo grande per questa terra" Alessandro Manzoni - I Promessi Sposi (prima edizione, 1827) "Egli entrò nella stanza con passo misurato""Ella rimase muta col capo chino" Alessandro Manzoni: Il Rivoluzionario dei Pronomi Manzoni merita un discorso particolare, perché è stato il primo grande scrittore a rendersi conto che "egli" ed "ella" stavano diventando antiquati e artificiali. Ha riscritto il suo capolavoro I Promessi Sposi molte volte proprio per modernizzare la lingua! Osservate questi numeri incredibili che dimostrano la sua evoluzione linguistica: Edizione del 1827: "egli" compare 862 volte, "lui" come soggetto 0 volte Edizione del 1840 (13 anni dopo): "egli" compare solo 64 volte, "lui" come soggetto compare 200 volte! Ma cosa è successo agli altri 600 "egli" circa? Semplice: Manzoni li ha eliminati, lasciando il soggetto implicito (ne parliamo tra poco!). Manzoni è stato un vero innovatore linguistico che ha anticipato i tempi! Le Forme Femminili e Plurali: "ELLA", "ESSI", "ESSE" È importante conoscere anche le altre forme che esistevano nel sistema pronominale tradizionale: ELLA È il femminile di "egli". Oggi è praticamente scomparsa dalla lingua parlata e scritta, completamente sostituita da "lei". ESSO ed ESSA Erano usati principalmente per cose inanimate (oggetti, concetti, idee), non per persone. Oggi sono quasi completamente scomparsi, sostituiti da "questo/a", "quello/a", o semplicemente omessi. Esempio antico: "Il viaggio è stato lungo. Esso mi ha stancato molto."Italiano moderno: "Il viaggio è stato lungo. Mi ha stancato molto." (senza pronome) oppure "Questo mi ha stancato molto." ESSI ed ESSE Erano i plurali di "egli/ella" e "esso/essa". Anche questi oggi sono sostituiti da "loro" quando si parla di persone, o vengono omessi quando si parla di cose. Quando Usare "EGLI" e Quando Usare "LUI": Le Regole Pratiche Ecco la parte più importante per chi studia o usa l'italiano: quando si deve usare una forma o l'altra? Vediamo le regole pratiche con esempi concreti. Usate "LUI" quando: 1. Parlate in situazioni informali o quotidiane "Paolo voleva imparare a parlare italiano come un vero madrelingua. Lui ha quindi acquistato un corso intensivo.""Dove vai?" "Vado da lui." 2. Scrivete testi moderni, email, messaggi, articoli di giornale "Il sindaco ha dichiarato che lui non si dimetterà." 3. Volete dare enfasi al soggetto o creare un contrasto "Lui, a differenza di molti suoi colleghi, non cerca scorciatoie.""Mentre loro celebrano il successo, lui rimane umile." 4. Dovete usare il pronome dopo una preposizione o in qualsiasi posizione che non sia il soggetto "Parlo con lui ogni giorno.""Questo regalo è per lui." 5. In costruzioni enfatiche con il verbo essere "È lui che ha vinto!""Sono proprio loro i responsabili!" Usate "EGLI" quando: 1. Scrivete testi molto formali (documenti ufficiali, atti legali, testi burocratici, scritti scientifici) "Egli dichiara di rinunciare ai propri diritti.""Il professore ha pubblicato una nuova ricerca. Egli sostiene che..." 2. Volete imitare uno stile letterario antico "Egli camminava solo per le vie della città deserta." 3. Fate riferimenti storici o parlate di personaggi del passato in modo formale "Garibaldi sbarcò in Sicilia nel 1860. Egli guidò le sue truppe verso nord." Attenzione! "EGLI" Oggi è Quasi in Via di Estinzione È fondamentale comprendere che nell'italiano contemporaneo, "egli" è usato sempre meno. La maggior parte degli italiani usa quasi esclusivamente "lui", anche quando scrive! "Egli" suona molto formale, letterario, e a volte può sembrare addirittura un po' strano o pomposo se usato in contesti normali. Immaginate di incontrare un amico per strada e di dirgli: "Ho visto Matteo. Egli mi ha detto che domani viene alla festa." Il vostro amico probabilmente vi guarderebbe in modo strano! È troppo formale per una conversazione normale. Il problema è che alcuni italiani pensano che "lui", "lei" e "loro" siano un po' informali per la scrittura formale. Si sentono a disagio a usare "lui" in un testo importante, ma allo stesso tempo "egli" suona troppo antico! Questo crea un certo imbarazzo: da un lato abbiamo forme che sembrano vecchie, dall'altro forme che sembrano troppo casual. Qual è la soluzione? La risposta più comune è: omettere completamente il pronome! E questo ci porta al prossimo punto fondamentale... Il "Soggetto Nullo" o "Soggetto Zero": La Soluzione Italiana Ecco una delle caratteristiche più interessanti dell'italiano: possiamo omettere completamente il pronome soggetto! I linguisti chiamano questo fenomeno "soggetto nullo" o "soggetto zero". L'italiano, come lo spagnolo e il portoghese, è una lingua "pro-drop" (dall'inglese pronoun-dropping). Questo significa che possiamo "lasciar cadere" il pronome. Al contrario, in lingue come l'inglese, il francese o il tedesco,

CELÝ ZÁZNAM DEBATY NAJDETE NA HEROHERO.CO/STUDION Na sociálních sítích si nadáváme, vyhrožujeme a o porozumění se už často ani nepokoušíme. Průzkumy ukazují, že nedůvěra, strach a frustrace v české společnosti rostou. Jak jsme se do této atmosféry dostali – a je vůbec možné z ní najít cestu ven? Filip Titlbach o tom mluvil na živém natáčení Studia N v Divadle X10 s trojicí žen, které se s konfliktem setkávají každý den, každá z jiné strany: s moderátorkou pořadu Máte slovo na České televizi Michaelou Jílkovou, zmocněnkyní vlády pro lidská práva Klárou Šimáčkovou Laurenčíkovou a investigativní reportérkou Deníku N Zdislavou Pokornou. Podívejte se na celý záznam debaty, která byla součástí oslav 17. listopadu Korzo Národní, které pořádá spolek Díky, že můžem.

Patrick Syms started work trying to be a screenwriter, and he got ever so close, before life got in the way. He took a job in advertising, which became a 25 year long career in communications. In 2020, he gave it up to write again. This time, he took it seriously. Being accepted in to the Curtis Brown 'Writing Your Novel' course, he's just finished 'Am I The Asshole?', which is out to query as I type.It's all about entrepreneur Richard Whitecross, who invents what he thinks is a piece of world-changing technology. But when it malfunctions and he becomes the target of a social media pile-on, he must learn to face all the facts of his situation, not just the convenient ones, before he loses his family, his livelihood and his sanity. It was inspired by an interview Patrick saw with a celebrity on TV, and being dumbfounded by the terrible way they were presenting themselves.As the manuscript goes out to agents, Patrick has taken some unique steps of his own... and is releasing a limited batch of books, in order to spread the word and make some noise. He's printed a select set of white label books, inspired by independent record companies. He runs through the process of making that work - what's gone well and what's been trickier than imagined.You can hear what he felt when he was trying too hard to make a point with his prose, also why he's always playing catch up, and the 5 questions that he asks in every scene.You can find out more at patricksyms.com, and find his instagram in the show notes.If you're getting a book for christmas, think about doing it on our Bookshop.org page - uk.bookshop.org/shop/writersroutineSupport the show -patreon.com/writersroutineko-fi.com/writersroutine@writerspodwritersroutine.com Hosted on Acast.

5. Creation, Ragnarok, and the Cautionary Tale of Post-Conversion Norse Mythology Eleanor Barraclough Embers of the Hands: Hidden Histories of the Viking Age Accessing Norse belief systems requires caution because the main textual sources, such as the Prose and Poetic Eddas, were written in the thirteenth century in Iceland, after the conversion to Christianity. Snorri Sturluson, a poet and politician murdered in thirteenth-century Iceland, composed the Prose Edda as a handbook to preserve the myths. Norse creation mythology describes life beginning in Ginungagap, the eternal void where the fire world (Muspel) met the ice world (Niflheim), forming the primordial ice giant Ymir. The mythological destruction, Ragnarok (the doom of the gods), involves the fire giant Surtr and Loki arriving on Naglfar, a ship terrifyingly constructed from the fingernails of dead people. 1920

This week's episode is all about Share the Arrows—a conservative Christian women's event in Dallas, Tx. I've had the honor of being invited to speak and represent the motherhood perspective from a biblical standpoint for 2024 (the year of its inception) and 2025. And both times were utterly surreal experiences in sheer scope of number of attendees (4,000 the first year and 6,700 the next) and the work involved to prep/run our booth Paint and Prose booth to serve a never-ending stream of customers and moms who stopped by to say hi.I'm sharing my thoughts and reactions to the event (spoiler: You should definitely come to the next one!) and why this is one women's conference I'll gladly say yes to. Enjoy!

Today, we're tackling the hot button topic of whether women should be pastors with my own pastor's wife, Jenn Witmer. As female pastors and clerics become more common, it's inevitable that even the most traditional minds will start to question or at least reconsider the historical church's position on the subject. The real question is: Should we? In this episode, Jenn and I approach the topic with the view of scripture, not culture, as our guide. We hope this episode provides clarity and direction for everyone who listens and gives food for thought as we engage with the hierarchy of responsibility and giftings the Lord has blessed both men and women in ministry with.
