Confira os destaques de Os Pingos nos Is desta sexta-feira (19):O presidente da Câmara dos Deputados, Hugo Motta, afirmou que caberá ao Supremo Tribunal Federal decidir, caso a caso, quais condenados pelos atos de 8 de Janeiro poderão ser beneficiados pelo PL da dosimetria aprovado pelo Congresso. Segundo ele, a aprovação do texto não garante benefício automático e o Judiciário analisará individualmente cada conduta. Motta também indicou que ministros participaram das negociações para viabilizar o acordo. O presidente Lula (PT) afirmou que vetará o PL da dosimetria assim que o texto chegar à sua mesa e minimizou a possibilidade de o Congresso derrubar a decisão. Em declaração pública, o chefe do Executivo adotou tom de confronto ao dizer que, se os parlamentares quiserem, poderão derrubar o veto. O projeto trata da redução de penas ligadas aos atos de 8 de Janeiro. A Polícia Federal investiga os deputados Sóstenes Cavalcante e Carlos Jordy, ambos do PL, por suspeita de desvio de recursos da cota parlamentar. A operação apura um suposto esquema envolvendo assessores e uma empresa de fachada de locação de veículos. Na casa de Sóstenes, foram encontrados R$ 430 mil em espécie, valor que o parlamentar afirma ser proveniente da venda de um imóvel. Jordy classificou a ação como perseguição política. O ex-deputado Eduardo Bolsonaro afirmou que sua ida aos Estados Unidos “valeu muito a pena”, mesmo após a cassação do mandato pela Mesa Diretora da Câmara. Segundo ele, a perda do cargo não tem relação com crimes como corrupção ou tráfico, mas com o cumprimento do papel esperado por seus eleitores. Eduardo também criticou integrantes da Mesa Diretora e disse não ver a decisão como derrota. O ex-vereador do Rio de Janeiro Carlos Bolsonaro (PL) afirmou que manterá sua candidatura ao Senado por Santa Catarina, mesmo com a abertura de uma vaga no Rio de Janeiro. Segundo ele, a decisão segue orientação do ex-presidente Jair Bolsonaro e faz parte de um projeto de fortalecimento da direita no Senado. A escolha causou divisão entre aliados, já que a deputada Carol de Toni foi preterida pelo PL e deve disputar a vaga por outra sigla. O presidente da Colômbia, Gustavo Petro, rejeitou uma cooperação militar com a Venezuela após Nicolás Maduro convocar forças colombianas a se unirem ao seu regime contra os Estados Unidos. Apesar de manter apoio político ao governo venezuelano, Petro afirmou que as tropas do país não recebem ordens estrangeiras e negou apoio a ditaduras. A declaração expôs tensões e contradições dentro da esquerda latino-americana. Você confere essas e outras notícias em Os Pingos nos Is.

Edição com dois campeões não é todo dia. E com jogos legais também. Primeiro, claro, no quinto jogo, o Sesi Araraquara levantou a taça do Paulista Feminino de basquete. Dois dias depois foi a vez do Knicks levantar seu primeiro caneco desde de 1973. Mas claro, começamos falando primeiro do basquete masculino nacional. Na NBB já temos 3 classificados para o Super 8, Flamengo e Minas eram mais ou menos esperados, mas o surpreendente Pinheiros está na ponta e classificado também. Franca, Brasília e Corinthians estão muito próximos também. Corinthians, inclusive, se recuperou bem de um momento de baixa com uma bela vitória em cima do Brasília. Outro Corinthians que parece que está encaixando bem é o União, que fez sua tour pelo Rio de Janeiro e apresentou um bom basquete. Mas não é só de rosas que vive o basquete masculino, e nos torneios continentais parece que vamos perdendo a hegemonia dos últimos anos. Se a Sula já foi difícil, com o melhor brasileiro indo apenas até a segunda fase, na BCLA, só o Minas largou bem e garantiu duas vitórias. Franca e Flamengo perderam a primeira e ganharam a segunda e estão no segundo lugar do grupo. Chegamos então a final do paulista feminino, quinto jogo, em São Paulo, Corinthians contra Sesi Araraquara. Cada time havia ganhando os dois jogos que jogou em casa. Tudo apontava para uma comemoração alvinegra, mas não foi o que aconteceu. O Araraquara soube controlar muito bem o jogo, se manteve com uma defesa firme, acelerou quando precisou e cadenciou para tirar o ímpeto das rivais. Resultado foi o Tetracampeonato que sacramenta o bom trabalho do Sesi Araraquara. Na Euro, mais uma semana com duas rodadas significa que tivemos 20 jogos para falar e quem roubou a cena mesmo assim foi o mascote do Zalgiris. Zalgiris que não derreteu completamente como no ano passado e se mantem na briga por vaga direta para os playoffs. Dos brasileiros, o único que se mantem jogando é Márcio Santos, que vem tendo boa minutagem no Maccabi e ajudando a recuperação do time na competição. Na NBA falamos, claro, da vitória do Knicks na NBA Cup. Mas eles dizem que nem vão pendurar o bandeirão de campeão no ginásio. É título não é? Você penduraria? Aproveitamos para falar também da draga em que andam Clippers e Cavs. Clippers está, inclusive, empatado com a vice pior campanha. Situação patética com um time com tantas estrelas. Começamos a preparar o final do ep falando da provável greve das jogadoras da WNBA. Um cenário que já vinha se desenhando durante a temporada e que fica cada vez mais provável. E fechamos falando do ótimo texto das Rainhas do Garrafão que fizeram uma excelente leitura do cenário nacional feminino depois de um post da CBB no twitter (ou X, se você preferir) exaltando um ótimo ano do basquete brasileiro. O nosso basquete precisa de todo o apoio e parcerias que puder ter para continuar a crescer e recuperar o lugar que já teve no país e no mundo. Deixo aqui link pro ótimo texto no blog delas: https://rainhasdogarrafaoblog.wordpress.com/2025/12/18/um-ano-magico-pra-quem/ O episódio ficou enorme, então não perde tempo e já solta o play!

Convidados: Léo Arcoverde, repórter da GloboNews; e Joísa Dutra, professora da FGV do Rio e ex-diretora da Aneel. Mais de 2,2 milhões de imóveis ficaram sem luz em São Paulo depois de uma tempestade com ventos de mais de 90 km/h atingirem a cidade. Centenas de árvores caíram e atingiram a rede elétrica, sob responsabilidade da Enel - concessionária fornecedora de energia da capital e de cidades da Grande São Paulo. O episódio trouxe à tona um problema antigo – desde 2020 a Enel já recebeu R$ 374 milhões em multas aplicadas pela Agência Nacional de Energia Elétrica (Aneel) por causa da má prestação de serviço. Depois de mais um episódio em que milhões de pessoas ficaram sem luz e de centenas de milhões de reais em prejuízo, uma reunião entre governo federal, estadual e municipal resolveu iniciar o processo de extinção do contrato com a Enel. Em conversa com Natuza Nery, o repórter da GloboNews Léo Arcoverde explica como a empresa chegou a um ponto crítico do fornecimento de serviço em São Paulo. Ele relembra o apagão de novembro de 2023, quando milhões de pessoas ficaram sem luz – em alguns pontos, a falta de fornecimento durou uma semana. Ele detalha a diferença entre os processos de intervenção e de caducidade e conta o que a Enel alega ao justificar os apagões. Depois, Natuza recebe Joísa Dutra, professora da FGV do Rio e diretora do Centro de Regulação em Infraestrutura da mesma instituição, o FGV CERI. Joísa, que foi diretora da Aneel entre 2005 e 2009, explica como funcionam os processos de fim de contrato com concessionárias de energia. Ela responde também o que pode acontecer com a Enel e quais as garantias aos clientes com a perspectiva de fim da concessão.
Ela nasceu e cresceu no interior de Minas Gerais. Viveu uma infância simples, onde os valores familiares e o exemplo dos pais formaram o seu caráter. Praticou balé, jazz e sapateado. Então, com 13 anos de idade, ao sair da escola, foi vítima de um sequestro que terminou dezessete agonizantes dias depois, um trauma que a transformaria para sempre. Seguiu com a vida de adolescente, aprendeu a lutar jiu-jítsu e, aos 16 anos, mudou-se para o Rio de Janeiro para concluir os estudos. Foi um período de mudanças e pouca atividade física. Ao entrar na faculdade, decidiu que era hora de voltar a se movimentar e passou a frequentar uma academia, onde descobriu o spinning. Em seguida, vieram as aulas de corrida, até que um professor a convidou para experimentar o triathlon. Precisaria nadar, algo que só havia experimentado na infância devido à bronquite severa. Iniciou os treinos em 2005 e desde a sua estreia, a paixão pela modalidade só aumentou. Trabalhou no mercado corporativo, casou-se e teve dois filhos enquanto levava um estilo de vida de triatleta. Dez anos após sua estreia, realizou o sonho de cruzar a linha de chegada de um Ironman 70.3. Em 2016, a violência no Rio a levou a uma decisão radical: mudou-se com a família para a Europa, onde o marido faria um MBA e onde proporcionariam uma vida mais tranquila aos filhos. Morando na Suíça, tiveram uma outra menina, e o marido passou a trabalhar na WADA (Agência Mundial Antidopagem). Ela se aproximou da psicoterapia, da educação positiva e do problema da dopagem no esporte. O esporte ocupava agora o centro da vida de toda família. Triathlon com os filhos, trainningcamps, amigos do Comitê Olímpico Internacional e os valores olímpicos, aquilo tudo a tocava profundamente. Depois da pandemia, já de volta ao Brasil, encontrou um cenário esportivo transformado: performances duvidosas, inversão de valores no triathlon, muita exposição de alguns atletas e pouca transparência. Ela própria foi prejudicada por atletas que seriam depois desclassificados. Sentiu revolta e propósito. Com o apoio da ABCD (Agência Brasileira de Controle de Dopagem), deu início ao movimento que chamou de Quero Ser Testado e, algum tempo depois, se transformou no Eu Jogo Limpo, que segue firme em sua missão: educar, proteger e transformar a cultura esportiva brasileira, difundindo valores simples e profundos: respeito, justiça, ética, responsabilidade e moral. Fazer o certo mesmo quando ninguém está olhando. Conosco aqui, a empresária, administradora com pós-graduação em Gestão de Pessoas formada em programação neurolinguística, ex-professora de catecismo, triatleta amadora e apaixonada, mãe dedicada que acredita que a vida é curta demais para ser vivida sem propósito.

Rio heads to Carrington for an unmissable sit-down with Manchester United captain Bruno Fernandes — his most honest interview yet.For the first time, Bruno lifts the lid on the truth behind his Manchester United loyalty, revealing two genuine chances he had to leave, why he stayed, and how modern players' loyalty is judged differently compared to legends like Francesco Totti, Ryan Giggs and Paolo Maldini.Bruno also breaks down the big tactical shift in his game this season — how playing deeper has changed his decision-making, the challenges for him and Kobbie Mainoo who play in that role what the manager demands from him in the No.8 position, and how Italian football influenced his game.He gives rare insight into United's dressing room dynamics, analysing his teammates and explaining the incredible level of detail he computes on the pitch to ensure he delivers the perfect pass depending on which forward he's feeding.Bruno also addresses Roy Keane's criticism and how he really feels about it, the private conversations referees have had with him about body languag and discussions with managers Ruben Amorim and Erik Ten Hag about the level of pressure he puts on himself and how it sometimes negatively affects the team's structure.And in classic Rio Meets style, Bruno opens up about the personalities behind the scenes — the biggest jokers in the squad, what really happens when someone steps out of line, and how he handles moments as captain that fans never get to see.

Confira os destaques do Jornal da Manhã desta quinta-feira (18): O presidente Lula anunciou oficialmente, durante a última reunião ministerial de 2025 nesta quarta-feira (17), a saída de Celso Sabino do Ministério do Turismo. O anúncio foi feito após o União Brasil solicitar a vaga ocupada pela pasta. De acordo com Sabino, o indicado para substituí-lo é Gustavo Feliciano. Durante a análise do projeto da Dosimetria no Senado Federal, o líder do governo, Jaques Wagner (PT), quebrou o silêncio e explicou os motivos por trás do acordo firmado para acelerar a votação da medida. Reportagem: Pedro Tritto. O Supremo Tribunal Federal (STF) formou maioria para suspender a validade da lei que instituía o marco temporal para a demarcação de terras indígenas. A decisão reafirma o entendimento da Corte, que já havia considerado a tese inconstitucional em 2023. Reportagem: Matheus Dias. A Polícia Federal realizou uma perícia médica no ex-presidente Jair Bolsonaro. O procedimento atende a uma determinação direta do ministro do STF, Alexandre de Moraes. O objetivo do exame é constatar tecnicamente se há necessidade real de novas intervenções cirúrgicas, conforme alegado pelos advogados de defesa do ex-presidente. Reportagem: Igor Damasceno. O senador Flávio Bolsonaro (PL-RJ), pré-candidato à Presidência da República, participou nesta quarta-feira (17) de um almoço com empresários em São Paulo, em um encontro realizado no Jardim Paulista. Durante a reunião, que durou cerca de 1h30, Flávio destacou a importância de sua candidatura e se apresentou como o “Bolsonaro mais moderado, equilibrado e centrado.” O Senado aprovou o projeto de lei da Dosimetria, que altera o cálculo de penas e pode impactar diretamente as condenações referentes ao 8 de Janeiro. O repórter Igor Damasceno acompanhou a votação no plenário e traz os bastidores da decisão que agora segue para a mesa do presidente Lula (PT). A Polícia Civil de São Paulo deflagrou uma operação para investigar um esquema de compra irregular de grandes quantidades de cafeína.

This is the first edition of a recording I've made in the 2024 summer afternoon at the beach. It was made at Praia Vermelha (Red Beach), Urca, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. It was a hot weather, the beach was crowded: children, families, young and elder people, vendors selling drinks and refreshments (water, cold mate, coconut water, popsicle, and so on). People are talking, laughing, shouting. Waves are breaking continuously on the sand. Recorded in Rio de Janeiro by Marcelo Carneiro de Lima.

Convidado: Marco Antônio Martins, repórter do g1 Rio. A prisão do desembargador federal Macário Ramos Júdice Neto nesta terça-feira (16) expôs mais uma camada do caso TH Joias. Preso em setembro, o agora ex-deputado estadual TH Joias (MDB) é investigado por envolvimento com facções criminosas. No começo do mês, o deputado Rodrigo Bacellar (União Brasil), à época presidente da Alerj, também foi preso sob suspeita de vazamento de informações sigilosas da Operação Unha e Carne, justamente a que levou TH Joias à prisão. Na 2ª fase da operação, feita nesta terça-feira, a PF tem indícios de que Macário ajudou Bacellar a vazar informações para TH Joias. O desembargador era o relator do caso TH Joias na segunda instância da Justiça do Rio de Janeiro. Documentos e troca de mensagens obtidos pelos investigadores mostram a proximidade entre o desembargador e o agora ex-presidente da Alerj. Neste episódio, Natuza Nery conversa com Marco Antônio Martins, repórter do g1 Rio. Marco Antônio relembra quem é TH Joias e as suspeitas que recaem sobre o ex-deputado. Ele relembra como Bacellar foi preso e solto dias depois e os indícios de que o desembargador preso nesta terça-feira ajudou no vazamento de informações sobre o caso. Por fim, Marco Antônio responde o que este caso tem de diferente de outros envolvendo políticos do RJ, estado onde cinco dos 11 governadores eleitos desde a redemocratização foram presos – e onde até órgãos de controle foram alvo de investigações sobre corrupção.
India's rural areas are developing at an extraordinary rate, and it poses both challenges and extraordinary opportunities to rethink development at a large scale. Across the OECD, over nine in ten households are now connected to the Internet, but in rural regions connectivity still lags behind, with only about 89% of rural households having even a basic broadband connection. https://www.oecd.org/en/publications/2024/11/oecd-digital-economy-outlook-2024-volume-2_9b2801fc.html India reflects these contrasts in its own way, but the speed of change is remarkable. Over the four years ending in December 2024, internet penetration in rural India surged from 59% to 78%, a jump that outpaced urban growth, which rose from 77% to 90% over the same period. https://telecom.economictimes.indiatimes.com/news/industry/indias-rural-subscribers-to-primarily-drive-arpu-growth-in-fy26-crisil/121130745 Recorded live from the OECD Rural Development Conference in Rio de Janeiro, Shayne MacLachlan speaks with Shahid Iqbal Choudhary, Secretary to the Government in the Department of Rural Development and Panchayati Raj, about how India's fascinating track-record of rural transformation can offer practical lessons to policymakers everywhere. Tune in to hear how one of the world's most dynamic rural transformations is unfolding and what it means for the future of development. Dr. Shahid currently serves as Secretary to the Government, Department of Rural Development and Panchayati Raj (Local Self-Government). Over the course of his distinguished public service career, he has held several key leadership positions, including Secretary, Tribal Affairs, J&K Government; CEO, Mission Youth J&K; Managing Director, Skill Development & Livelihood Initiatives; and multiple tenures as District Development Commissioner/District Magistrate in Srinagar, Rajouri, Bandipora, Leh, Udhampur, Kathua, and Reasi.

Confira os destaques do Jornal da Manhã desta quarta-feira (17): A CCJ analisa nesta quarta-feira (17) o PL da Dosimetria, mas o senador Alessandro Vieira (MDB) já antecipou voto contrário, alertando que a lei pode beneficiar criminosos violentos comuns. Simultaneamente, o ministro Alexandre de Moraes criticou duramente tentativas de atenuar penas para condenados por tentativa de golpe. O repórter André Anelli informou que, após visitar o Jair Bolsonaro (PL) na Polícia Federal, o senador Flávio Bolsonaro (PL) comunicou que o ex-presidente apoia o PL da Dosimetria mesmo que o texto não o inclua. O foco, segundo ele, é reduzir as penas dos condenados pelos atos de 8 de janeiro de 2023. O repórter Rodrigo Viga detalhou a transferência do ex-deputado Thiago Santos Silva (TH Joias), considerado o pivô de escândalos recentes no Rio de Janeiro. Sob forte esquema de segurança, ele foi levado em avião da PF para a capital federal após investigações sobre vazamento de informações na Operação Unha e Carne. A repórter Rany Veloso detalhou a aprovação do projeto que corta benefícios fiscais e aumenta impostos para diversos setores, incluindo apostas online e bancos digitais. A medida, de interesse do governo federal, visa liberar R$ 22,45 bilhões para o orçamento de 2026. A repórter Janaína Camelo informou que o presidente Lula (PT) cobrou a União Europeia, citando nominalmente Emmanuel Macron (França) e Giorgia Meloni (Itália), para a assinatura do acordo com o Mercosul. A expectativa é que isso ocorra no próximo sábado (20) em Foz do Iguaçu. O presidente Lula (PT) lidera em todos os cenários de primeiro turno pesquisados em um levantamento divulgado pela Genial/Quaest, com percentuais que vão de 34% a 41%. O senador Flávio Bolsonaro (PL) aparece em segundo lugar nos seis possíveis cenários. A avaliação testou cinco situações, e Lula apareceu à frente de Flávio Bolsonaro, Tarcísio de Freitas (Republicanos), Ratinho Jr. (PSD), Ronaldo Caiado (União Brasil) e Romeu Zema (Novo). O levantamento ouviu 2.004 eleitores entre os dias 11 e 14 de dezembro, com margem de erro de dois pontos percentuais, para mais ou para menos. O presidente Lula (PT) e os 38 ministros devem realizar a última reunião ministerial do ano. As autoridades pretendem discutir sobre os projetos durante o ano, e as expectativas para o ano que vem. Reportagem: Janaína Camelo. O cenário político em Brasília e São Paulo está em ebulição com a notícia de que o ministro da Fazenda, Fernando Haddad, está preparando sua saída da pasta. A movimentação não é por desgaste técnico, mas sim por uma estratégia eleitoral do PT, que vê em Haddad o nome mais forte para enfrentar a direita no estado de São Paulo em 2026. A repórter Janaína Camelo informou que o ex-presidente Jair Bolsonaro (PL), atualmente preso na superintendência da PF em Brasília, passará por uma perícia médica no Instituto Nacional de Criminalística nesta quarta-feira (17). O exame foi determinado por Alexandre de Moraes após a defesa alegar urgência para uma cirurgia de duas hérnias inguinais. Em novembro de 2025, os EUA criaram 64.000 empregos, recuperando-se de outubro. Porém, a taxa de desemprego subiu para 4,6%, a mais alta em anos. Eliseu Caetano explicou que analistas não veem isso como enfraquecimento real, mas como uma distorção causada pelo "shutdown" (fechamento) do governo federal por 43 dias, que atrapalhou a coleta de dados. O governo de Nicolás Maduro emitiu uma nota oficial rebatendo as declarações de Donald Trump. O documento classifica a postura dos EUA como uma "reivindicação colonialista" sobre o petróleo e minérios venezuelanos. Essas e outras notícias você acompanha no Jornal da Manhã.

A Comissão de Constituição e Justiça (CCJ) do Senado deve analisar nesta quarta-feira (17) o projeto de lei que propõe a redução das penas para condenados pelos atos ocorridos em 8 de janeiro. A proposta tem gerado dos por outros crimes graves. Um dos possíveis beneficiados, o ex-presidente Jair Bolsonaro passará por uma perícia médica autorizada pelo Supremo Tribunal Federal para avaliar a necessidade de realização de uma cirurgia .O clima no Senado é incerto quanto à aprovação da medida. Um ponto crítico do debate é que o texto atual poderia abrir precedentes para reduzir penas não apenas relacionadas aos eventos específicos mencionados, mas também para casos envolvendo corrupção e violência sexual. Caso haja alterações na proposta durante a análise pela CCJ, ela deverá retornar à Câmara dos Deputados antes da votação final.Veja ainda que as temperaturas caíram significativamente nas regiões Sul e Sudeste com a chegada de uma frente fria. Em São Paulo e Rio de Janeiro os termômetros registram máximas abaixo do usual para esta época do ano: 22ºC em São Paulo e 25ºC no Rio. As condições climáticas mais amenas devem persistir até o fim da semana acompanhadas por chuvas esparsas nessas áreas.
Hi everyone. I'm Rio Laine, the Director of Strategic Partnerships at ALPS Insurance. Welcome to our latest installment of the Alps In Brief Podcast. I am joined today by our Chief Financial Officer, Sara Smith, and she is also the president of the Montana Society of CPAs. Her theme for her term as president is connection, which is a value that runs through both her leadership and her life. So at ALPS, Sara helps guide a growing company that's redefining what it means to lead with purpose. And when she's not leading finance teams, she's often on a mountain bike trail somewhere in Montana. So exploring new terrain, both literally and figuratively. So thank you so much for joining us, Sara. Sara Smith: Thanks, Rio. Thanks for having me. Rio Laine: Yeah, it's a pleasure. I'm happy we got this chance to sit down and chat about all the exciting things you have going on, and I'm really looking forward to our discussion. Sara Smith: Yeah, me too. Rio Laine: Yeah. So okay, let's start with your story, the beginning. What first drew you to accounting and being a CPA? Sara Smith: That's a great question. When I was in high school, I took accounting and they taught the class with a packet, right? And it had the balance sheet and income statement and all the journal entries. And it was such a neat and clean process, and I really enjoyed that. But when I went to college, I thought, "I am much too exciting to be an accountant. I have way more things that I would like to do and this seems really boring." So I went the long way. I got my undergraduate in marketing and management and got my MBA, and then discovered accounting and pursued my CPA after that. Rio Laine: Oh, awesome. And did you kind of revisit that love of that kind of order and the balance sheet and all the nice orderly parts of it? Sara Smith: Yeah. I think the thing ... There's a misconception about accounting that it is very black and white. And in reality, it's really messy and it has a lot of shades of gray, which make it much more challenging than it looks on paper. Rio Laine: Yeah. Oh, interesting. So before joining ALPS, you spent a lot of time working for a variety of companies, including Target and Montana Rail Link. So I'm very curious, can you tell us a little bit about that path and what eventually led you to ALPS? Sara Smith: Absolutely. So I was an intern at Target when I went to college here at the University of Montana. It was such a fun internship. I mean, we just basically ran around that store and did whatever we wanted. And I thought, "Oh, well, if this is how the work turns out, then I want to join this team." And there weren't a lot of good job prospects when I graduated from college, so I moved to Colorado with Target and went through their store management training program, which was a lot of hands-on management, which was great. I really enjoyed it. It wasn't long into that process though that I realized that this was not for me. Retail was not going to be a long-term career. And I utilized their program to pay for graduate school and I went and got into my MBA program. So I did that for a couple of years, and then 9/11 happened and decided to move back to Montana; and had a friend of a friend that worked at Montana Rail Link and got in the accounting department there. And I didn't love it, to be honest. It was not my favorite place, mainly because of culture. Rio Laine: Yeah. Sara Smith: And so my advisor suggested that I try ALPS, and I've been there 22 years. Rio Laine: Wow. Yeah, it's true. I mean, culture is such an important part of a workplace. And so in terms of ALPS, I mean, obviously the culture was appealing, but also is there anything else that made you feel like it was the right fit? Sara Smith: Yeah. I came in in a strange part of time in ALPS' history. They were on this really kind of creepy second floor and the doors were closed all the time, and it wasn't actually a very welcoming type atmosphere. And so I really found solace in the accounting department. They liked to have fun, they played jokes on each other. There was just a lot of laughing. Rio Laine: Mm-hmm. Sara Smith: And so that's something that I really, really enjoyed. Rio Laine: Yeah. Oh, that's awesome. And I mean, there's still a lot of laughing at ALPS, which is really nice. I mean, now we're on a different floor and it's much more open and nice, so ... Sara Smith: Yes. Rio Laine: Oh, that's awesome. Well, we're obviously very happy that you're part of the ALPS team. Sara Smith: Thanks. Rio Laine: And you're a really important part of it. I mean, really, you literally make the numbers work, so ... All right. So let's shift our focus a little bit and talk about the idea of connection and how that plays into your kind of leadership philosophy. You know, you made connection the central theme of your leadership this year kind of personally, but also at the Montana Society of CPAs. So I'm curious to know what inspired you to make that your theme? Sara Smith: So there were three things that actually fed into that. First was just from an organizational perspective, people weren't coming to things in person, right? Rio Laine: Oh yeah. Sara Smith: They were choosing the online option. And then my guess is they were likely multitasking, right? Rio Laine: Yes. Sara Smith: And so they're missing that opportunity to connect in person. And then the second thing is the people that did come, you would go to a table and they'd all be on their phones. Right? Rio Laine: Oh yeah. Sara Smith: And so that is also very challenging. It's hard to connect when you literally have your nose in your device. And then earlier this year, I was on a flight, and I had a woman sitting next to me and she started to talk to me. And I just wasn't sure if I was going to take the bait, if I was in that place to have that sort of conversation on a plane, and I ultimately decided, "Yes." And we had such a rich conversation and had a lot of connections about a lot of different things that I didn't anticipate, and I actually went and had coffee with her a few months later after she got back from her travels. Rio Laine: Oh, really? Sara Smith: And so if I had not said yes to that, I wouldn't have formed that new connection. And so that really has just stuck with me, right? You got to say yes in order to engage. Rio Laine: Yeah, absolutely. I love that. I love that you made a new friend on the plane too- Sara Smith: Right? Rio Laine: ... Because yeah, you never know sometimes. Sara Smith: Yeah. Rio Laine: I travel a lot and you're like, "Am I going to have this conversation?" Sara Smith: Yeah. Right. Exactly. Rio Laine: Yeah, yeah. I'm happy you did. That's pretty amazing. So it sounds like kind of your approach to connection is the idea that it not necessarily comes from doing more, but from being present and kind of saying yes to that. So I mean, what does that mean for you in practice as a leader, but as a person? I mean, aside from saying yes to airplane conversations. Yeah. Sara Smith: Yes. I think that one of the most important things is just not being distracted. And whether that means you put your phone away, you turn it off, you put it someplace where you can't access it, I think that's step number one. Rio Laine: Hmm. Sara Smith: And then you really intently listen with your whole person and try to understand what that person is really saying to you. I think those are the two things that I really try to take into practice. And it can be hard some days. Rio Laine: Yeah. So unplugging and active listening. Sara Smith: Yes. Rio Laine: Yeah. Both of which, yes, are definitely difficult, especially we live in a time when we're so tied to our devices and we're just expected to be available every second of every day, and yeah, that's a difficult thing to accomplish. So it's ... Yeah, kudos for making that a priority. Sara Smith: Right? Rio Laine: Yeah. So in your role as kind of CFO for ALPS, how does that idea of connection show up in how you lead and make decisions? Sara Smith: Right. So I think one of the pieces of my job that is really important is building trust, right? You have to trust the numbers, you have to trust what the data that we're looking at is saying, and just the overall data set that you're looking at. And in order to get comfortable with the numbers, you have to be comfortable with the person, right? And you have to have that trust. Rio Laine: Yeah. Sara Smith: So I think building and establishing strong relationships with the people that I work with is the number one way to build that trust and connection. Rio Laine: Mm-hmm. Yeah, absolutely. And I mean, that is a really, really good point. If you don't trust the person, you're not so sure about those numbers. Sara Smith: Right? Rio Laine: Yeah. And when you're growing, the numbers are really important, so ... Sara Smith: Mm-hmm. Rio Laine: Yeah. Oh, that's pretty awesome. I love how that kind of plays such an important role in your life, but also your leadership. Yeah, that's pretty great. So let's kind of shift again. I want to transition a little bit and talk about growth and how connection kind of plays into that as well. So ALPS has been growing pretty rapidly over the last few years, and growth can sometimes make it really hard to stay connected, particularly as we have more remote staff like myself and things move faster and change quickly. But it sounds like obviously for you connection is part of that formula for sustainable growth. And so in terms of kind of ALPs, what does sustainable growth mean to you, like financially and culturally? Sara Smith: Well, I think at the core of our business is we have to be financially stable and sound in order to pay claims and make sure that our insureds are in a safe place, right? Rio Laine: Mm-hmm. Sara Smith: And so I think that is at the foremost thought all the time is, are we financially stable, are we growing responsibly to help grow that base, and are we in it in the long term, right? I'm a big believer in long-term thinking, not short-term gains. Rio Laine: Yes. Sara Smith: And so in order to be sustainable, you have to think more long-term. Rio Laine: Yeah. And I love that. I mean, I've come from companies that have been in kind of hyper growth, they've grown very, very quickly, and it does tend to be quite shortsighted and really come at the cost of the people who are doing the work. Sara Smith: Correct. Rio Laine: And it makes me really happy to hear that we're thinking about it in terms of, is this sustainable for the long term? Because I think that's when you really find success, in that balance between financial success, building revenue, but also people success and culturally and having a strong company. Sara Smith: Absolutely. Rio Laine: Yeah. So how do you and kind of the larger leadership team at ALPS keep that sense of connection alive as the company grows? Sara Smith: Yes. So I think the senior leadership team, we've been through some ups and downs, and so we have a really good, solid understanding of who we are and how we interact. We have a dedicated Teams channel that we joke and talk on, and that helps form that sense of connection, especially when people are traveling so much. It's hard, right? We're not always in the office together at the same time. Rio Laine: Yeah. Sara Smith: So that's great. And I think that also transcends down as well, right? Having just connection with your teams and building those cross-functional relationships is really important. Rio Laine: Yeah. Yeah, absolutely. And it's definitely difficult when everyone's on the go all the time and trying to stay connected to that central hub. What's one kind of practice or habit that you think ALPS has embraced that's kind of maintaining that strong connected culture? Sara Smith: Yeah. I think there's probably different things in different departments that help kind of foster their own identity and culture, but overall holistically, I think that ALPS does a Coffee Talk every two weeks and that helps bring all the information together. We get to understand our employees a little bit better. We have an Employee Spotlight, we get to learn more about each other. And I think that only helps build that kind of connection. Rio Laine: Yeah. Yeah, absolutely. Yeah, I'm a big fan of the Coffee Talk too, especially when we do the Employee Spotlight, getting to see everyone's pictures of their pets and their family and the fun stuff they do. Sara Smith: Right? Rio Laine: Yeah. Yeah, absolutely. I think that's a really good thing that we do. Yeah. So as a finance leader, how do you see connection influencing business outcomes, whether is it through collaboration, innovation, decision making? Sara Smith: I think it's everything. Rio Laine: Yeah. Sara Smith: I think the one misconception about finance is that we don't know what's going on in the business, but we know everything that's going on in the business. We have to. We have to understand the drivers and the levers that are bringing the numbers into focus and telling a story. So I think that collaboration between departments to get the story behind the numbers is really, really important. And so I think that's where we really serve our purpose, is storytelling among the different groups. Rio Laine: Yeah. And I find that misconception so interesting, because I mean ... I don't know, I'm a big true crime aficionado, but if you want to understand what happened, you look at the numbers, you look at the money. Sara Smith: That's correct. Rio Laine: What are they spending the money on? Sara Smith: Right. Rio Laine: That's how you know what's going on. So yeah, I would think that you'd know all the things that are going on. Sara Smith: That's right. You got to follow the pennies. Rio Laine: Yeah. Yeah, exactly. Awesome. So okay, let's kind of shift our focus and talk a little bit more about your personal life and how you spend your free time. Sara Smith: Hmm. Rio Laine: So you've mentioned that you love to get out in nature and you love to hop on your mountain bike and sometimes be completely off grid. So how does that help you kind of reconnect with what's important? Like how does that help you connect with, I guess, the things that are important in your life? Sara Smith: Right, right. Rio Laine: Yeah. Sara Smith: Well, so part of the mountain biking pieces that I've done is bike packing, right? Where you go in the woods and the only thing you have to do that day is ride your bike. You have to get from point A to point B without crashing, keeping yourself hydrated and fed, and not have any animal encounters. But that's all you have to do, right? That is your job for the day. And that really puts things into focus and simplifies your outcome. And so that, I have really appreciated because it really ... I mean, you could die out there, right? So you get hyper focused on what you need to do today and nothing else really matters at that point. Rio Laine: Yeah. And I guess that's a really good time to kind of put down your phone and to be focused, and to practice that kind of active paying attention and being aware of where you are in your surroundings. Do you feel like that experience kind of teaches you anything in terms of leadership or how you approach it? Sara Smith: Oh, absolutely. I feel like there are lessons to be learned every time you do something like that. As an example, this one trip I did this summer, we found ourselves lost. Rio Laine: Yeah. Sara Smith: And not really lost, but we had three different mapping devices. We had already gone 20 miles, we had to go 20 more, and what the trail was telling us, it just didn't sit right. It didn't seem right, right? And so one of the big decisions was what to do. "What do we do?" Right? "There's no one we can ask. We have no cell service. We are out in the woods." And I think trying to make a decision collectively, and when that can't be done, just making a decision and sticking to it and doing it. Because inaction is also a decision and one that doesn't generally work out very well. Rio Laine: Yeah, yeah, absolutely. And especially if you're in the middle of the woods. Sara Smith: Yes. Exactly. Rio Laine: Yeah. So it sounds like kind of mountain biking teaches a lot about obstacles and trusting your instincts and maybe builds confidence? Sara Smith: Absolutely. Rio Laine: Yeah. Sara Smith: Absolutely. Rio Laine: Yeah. What was it that first drew you to mountain biking? Like how did you first decide, "I'm going to get on a bike and do this?" Sara Smith: Well, I grew up in rural Montana and I didn't have any friends that lived anywhere near me, and so the only way to get anywhere was to get on a bike. I had to ride three miles to see my closest friend. And then as I got older, my brother and I shared a car, which also was not awesome, and so I could either ride the bus, which was not very cool when you were 16 years old, or I could ride my bike to school. And so I just started riding my bike and I haven't looked back. Rio Laine: Nice. Oh, that's awesome. That's awesome. Whereabouts have you gone mountain biking? Is there one place that really stands out to you that was your favorite? Sara Smith: Oh boy. They're all so different. There's a trail in Beartooth called the Line Creek Plateau, and you start riding at 10,000 feet and there's no trees. Rio Laine: Oh, wow. Sara Smith: And so it feels like you're riding on the moon. It's like all tundra. Rio Laine: Yeah. Sara Smith: The first time we did it, there wasn't much of a trail, and so the wisdom was, "Stay right. You'll know the end when you get there." Rio Laine: Yeah. Sara Smith: And so it felt very kind of mystical in this journey. Rio Laine: Yeah. Sara Smith: And then it drops to about 3000 feet in very short miles. Rio Laine: Oh, wow. Wow. Sara Smith: So it's a great ride. It's one of my favorites. Rio Laine: Yeah. Oh, that's awesome. I love that kind of idea of like the mystical journey. It kind of sounds like your leadership journey too, right? Sara Smith: Right. Rio Laine: Like just moving through the world, like, "This is mystical, crazy times." Yeah. Sara Smith: Exactly. Rio Laine: So speaking of kind of like the leadership journey and lessons in leadership and life, you've held many leadership roles in that span; finance, kind of strategy. So I want to kind of talk a little bit about what you've learned along the way and really what you see for the profession ahead, I mean in terms of CPAs. So I think my first question would be, how has your view of leadership evolved over time? Sara Smith: Yeah, boy. I think that ... That's a great question. And I think about how much you learn from people that you work for and other leaders. And so you take some of that in yourself about either what to do or what not to do. Rio Laine: Yes. Sara Smith: So that's been a big journey. And I think as a young person, I thought, "Oh, you eventually figure it all out, right? You got it." And as you get older, you realize you never will have it ever and that the pursuit is constant. Rio Laine: Yeah. Sara Smith: You're continually growing and evolving as you go along. Rio Laine: Yeah, which is kind of a beautiful thing about life. I mean, it'd be kind of boring if you got to a point and you're like, "I have this all figured out. I don't have to think anymore." Sara Smith: It's probably just so much easier, but ... Rio Laine: Yeah, but it's- Sara Smith: [inaudible 00:18:00]. Rio Laine: Yeah, but it's kind of fun that you don't. Yeah. So kind of along that lines then, what advice would you give to leaders, especially maybe in a data driven or finance role? Sara Smith: Yeah. I think that when you look back at your life and you think about all the things that you've learned, most of that learning has come from making a mistake. And so giving yourself some grace when you do make a mistake. Just don't make the same mistake again, but really be willing to take a look at yourself, why you did it, and then how do you evolve to make it so it doesn't happen again? Rio Laine: Yeah. Yeah, that kind of personal accountability is really important. Sara Smith: Yes. Rio Laine: I think it's also something that's very difficult for a lot of people too. It can be a humbling experience to learn that you're not perfect and that you have to improve some stuff. Yeah. Sara Smith: Yes. Rio Laine: Yeah, that's really good advice. Yeah. As the president of the Montana Society of CPAs, what do you hope to accomplish under your term this year, kind of in terms of connection? Sara Smith: Yeah. It's so hard because when you start this ... My presidency is only a year, and so you wonder how much you can actually get done. But then I also go back to my experience on the airplane and how just one small interaction can make a big difference. Rio Laine: Hmm. Sara Smith: And so I think that my challenge to our group is, "What kind of connection can you make? Can you make one connection this year that's new or different? How do you engage?" And my hope is by next year at our annual meeting, we have more people there, and more people talking to each other and I see less phones out. Rio Laine: Yeah. Yeah, absolutely. That's a good goal. It's a good goal to have. And I know they say ... Well, a lot of professions are evolving quickly, but the accounting profession is definitely one. Sara Smith: Mm-hmm. Rio Laine: You know, technology, automation, new expectations. How do you think connection can help the profession stay resilient and human? Sara Smith: Yeah. Well, I think the one thing is, I was just at a conference with a bunch of other CFOs and there is a lot of hesitancy to allow an AI bot to tell us what the numbers look like, right? Rio Laine: Hmm. Mm-hmm. Sara Smith: And it's that fundamental question about trust again. Rio Laine: Yeah. Sara Smith: How do you get trust from something that's not alive and real, and how do you trust that number? And that's going to take some time, and you're going to have to have not accuracy of 60%, but accuracy of 100%. And we're just not there yet, but we're going to get there eventually. And so I think it's still continuing to build that trust one day and one person at a time. Rio Laine: Yeah. Yeah. Agreed. And also, I mean, AI can't even figure out how many fingers a human has. So I feel like it probably shouldn't be trusted to run the numbers just yet. Sara Smith: Not yet. Rio Laine: It'll get there, but yeah, not quite yet. Sara Smith: Yeah. Not yet. Rio Laine: Yeah. So what is one piece of advice that you would give your younger self starting out as a CPA? What would that be? Sara Smith: Yeah. I think, again, I would come back to just being open to learning constantly and then not being so hard on yourself when you do mess up, right? I think early in my career, I took things really personally, and that's not ever going to work out well. Rio Laine: Yeah. Sara Smith: You have to forgive yourself once in a while when you screw up and just give yourself some grace. Rio Laine: Yeah. Yeah, I think that's really good advice. We could all use a little more grace from ourselves. You're your own worst critic, they say, so ... Sara Smith: Absolutely. Rio Laine: Yeah. All right. So we've got just a couple more minutes. I'm going to wrap it up with one more question kind of tying into your theme of connection for this year. So how do you plan to make space for more connection in your own life this year? Sara Smith: Yes. You know, it would not be great if I set that theme and then I didn't do anything myself. Rio Laine: Yeah. Sara Smith: So a couple of things that I've been working on is just when I am going to conferences or meeting new people is being the one that says hello first. Rio Laine: Yeah. Sara Smith: Right? Which is hard for me. Rio Laine: It's hard. Sara Smith: I'm not a super extroverted person. And so taking that first step is one that's hard, but really important that I do it. I've been reaching out to old friends that I haven't talked to for a long time, and that's been really fun to reconnect with them; and just having really good, deep conversations about hard things, I think is really important. Rio Laine: No, that's fantastic. And it is really hard to be the first person to say hello. For myself, I have a very public facing job and, yeah, it is difficult. You're just like, "Oh." But it's nice to remember that everybody is probably feeling that way- Sara Smith: Exactly. It's so true. Rio Laine: ... And they're so thankful that somebody did it. Sara Smith: Yes. Rio Laine: So it's good work to be doing. Sara Smith: Yes. Rio Laine: Yeah. Awesome. Well, Sara, thank you so much for sharing your time and your insights. I'm really, really happy that we got to sit down and have this conversation, and it's really impressive how you've shown that connection isn't just a personal goal, it can be a leadership philosophy and a business advantage really. So yeah, I mean, I think from the trails of Montana to the boardroom, your message definitely reminds us that slowing down and being present often leads to the strongest momentum. So yeah, thank you so much for joining me today. Sara Smith: Thank you, Rio. I enjoyed our conversation. Rio Laine: Yeah. All right. And that's a wrap, folks. Thank you so much for joining us on this installment of the ALPs In Brief Podcast. We will see you again for the next round.

Sarah Lucena lives in San Francisco, and starts here day at 4:30 am to lead her LATAM team. She's originally from Brazil, born and raised on the north east side of the country. She studied in South Paulo, and spent 5 years in Uruguay, which was a huge influence in her career today. Outside of tech, she is a big cat lover, having 2 at her home. When it comes to Brazil, she recommends people visiting Rio, which condenses everything good about Brazil into one city.In the past, Sarah felt empty at her job. In other words, she was not happy with the legacy she was leaving. She built her team many times over, but was not able to create a team with the chemistry she was looking for. And the solutions for recruiting were supremely focused on the wrong signals for these types of connections.This is the creation story of Mappa.SponsorsIncogniNordProtectVentionCodeCrafters helps you become a better engineer by building real-world, production-grade projects.

I'm Still Here (dir. Walter Salles, 2024) is based on the true story of the enforced disappearance and murder of former congressman Rubens Paiva by the military dictatorship in Brazil. The film opens in Rio de Janeiro in 1970, where Rubens lives with his wife, Eunice, and their five children. Their lives are forever altered when the military government arrests and disappears Rubens. The film describes Eunice's attempt to find out what happened to Rubens and to rebuild her life and raise her family in his absence. The film is based on the memoir of their son, Marcelo Rubens Paiva, who was a young boy when Rubens was disappeared. I'm Still Here provides a harrowing account of Brazil's military dictatorship and a moving story of a woman's struggle to overcome adversity and obtain justice.Timestamps:0:00 Introduction2:16 The military dictatorship in Brazil4:38 Living amid contradictions6:52 The kidnapping of the Swiss ambassador8:33 Rubens' arrest and disappearance12:38 Authoritarian legality14:18 The arrest and mistreatment of family members17:16 Covering up state crimes19:29 Exile as another tool of repression23:08 Enforced disappearances27:18 Leveraging international pressure29:08 Eunice Paiva's struggle and success33:15 Support for the military dictatorship36:01 Finally obtaining Rubens' death certificate 25 years later40:10 Brazil's National Truth Commission48:39 Authoritarian threats to democracy todayFurther reading:Atencio, Rebecca J., Memory's Turn: Reckoning with Dictatorship in Brazil (2014)Filho, Paulo Coehlo, “Truth Commission in Brazil: Individualizing Amnesty, Revealing the Truth,” The Yale Review of International Studies (Feb. 29, 2012)Lima, Ana Gabriela Oliveira, “Corrected death certificates for Herzog, Rubens Paiva,and one hundred others are celebrated in a ceremony,” Folha de S.

Confira nesta edição do JR 24 Horas: Um desembargador da Justiça Federal do Rio de Janeiro foi preso nesta terça-feira (16) em uma operação da Polícia Federal que investiga o vazamento de informações sigilosas para o Comando Vermelho.

On November 29, 2025, 19-year-old Texas A&M student Brianna Aguilera was found dead outside a 17-story apartment building in Austin, Texas. She had been in town for the Texas vs. Texas A&M rivalry game, staying with friends at the 21 Rio apartments near the UT campus. Within days, Austin Police held a rare press conference to announce they were treating her death as a suicide - citing a deleted suicide note found on her phone, text messages indicating suicidal thoughts, and prior statements to friends. They say all evidence points away from foul play. But Brianna's family isn't buying it. Her mother, Stephanie Rodriguez, has publicly accused police of a rushed investigation and believes someone in that apartment is responsible for her daughter's death. She says Brianna was afraid of heights, was actively planning her future, and would never have taken her own life. The family has now retained high-profile attorney Tony Buzbee to pursue their own investigation. The questions are piling up: Why wasn't the mother notified for almost 15 hours? What happened in the two minutes between Brianna's phone call with her boyfriend and the 911 call? Why did none of the three women in the apartment see or hear anything? And what about the witness who says she heard screaming and running that night? Adding another layer to this case: another Texas A&M student, Grant Hernandez, died at the exact same apartment complex in 2019 under strikingly similar circumstances. His death was also ruled a suicide. His father says he never got the answers he wanted. In this video, I break down everything we know about the Brianna Aguilera case - the timeline, the evidence, the family's concerns, and the questions that still need answers.

Hidden Killers With Tony Brueski | True Crime News & Commentary
On November 29, 2025, 19-year-old Texas A&M student Brianna Aguilera was found dead outside a 17-story apartment building in Austin, Texas. She had been in town for the Texas vs. Texas A&M rivalry game, staying with friends at the 21 Rio apartments near the UT campus. Within days, Austin Police held a rare press conference to announce they were treating her death as a suicide - citing a deleted suicide note found on her phone, text messages indicating suicidal thoughts, and prior statements to friends. They say all evidence points away from foul play. But Brianna's family isn't buying it. Her mother, Stephanie Rodriguez, has publicly accused police of a rushed investigation and believes someone in that apartment is responsible for her daughter's death. She says Brianna was afraid of heights, was actively planning her future, and would never have taken her own life. The family has now retained high-profile attorney Tony Buzbee to pursue their own investigation. The questions are piling up: Why wasn't the mother notified for almost 15 hours? What happened in the two minutes between Brianna's phone call with her boyfriend and the 911 call? Why did none of the three women in the apartment see or hear anything? And what about the witness who says she heard screaming and running that night? Adding another layer to this case: another Texas A&M student, Grant Hernandez, died at the exact same apartment complex in 2019 under strikingly similar circumstances. His death was also ruled a suicide. His father says he never got the answers he wanted. In this video, I break down everything we know about the Brianna Aguilera case - the timeline, the evidence, the family's concerns, and the questions that still need answers.
End chaos in your firm—300+ peers use this framework. Free video here: https://www.businessofarchitecture.com/framework Architects often find themselves buried under deadlines, staff questions, and the pressure to deliver flawless work—leaving little room to breathe, lead, or think creatively. This episode explores why that overwhelm feels so persistent and why traditional fixes rarely move the needle. Drowning in projects, staff issues, and nonstop client demands? In this episode, Enoch and Rio dig into what really sits beneath overwhelm for architecture firm owners and new partners. You'll hear how ego and pride in being "the busy one" can trap you in a me-centric office, and why real change starts with how you see yourself, not with another tool or system. The hidden "reward" you may be getting from overwhelm… and why letting it go can feel unsafe. A quiet shift in how you see your role that lets your team grow while you step back. The wake-up calls that push some architects to rebuild their firms—and their lives.

Sweet accordion riffs, the steady twang of the triangle, and the off-beat pounding of the zabumba drum make forro a favorite for all Brazilians. The infectious tunes and syncopated beats have been described as "a mixture of ska with polka in overdrive." This edition of Afropop Worldwide's Hip Deep will profile forro creator Luiz Gonzaga--from the wanderlust that led him from his rural birthplace in northeastern Brazil to a pumping career in the capital, Rio de Janeiro, in the 1940s. Conversations with Brazilian artists, recorded on location in the forro capital of Recife, following in Gonzaga's footsteps. Produced by Megwen Loveless APWW #457
