Maria Lúcia Amaral deixou de ser ministra da Administração Interna após Marcelo Rebelo de Sousa ter aceite o seu pedido de demissão, por considerar não reunir já as condições pessoais e políticas para o cargo. Entre a demissão e os resultados eleitorais, Daniel Oliveira e Francisco Mendes da Silva fazem a análise semanal no Antes Pelo Contrário em podcast. Luís Montenegro assumirá transitoriamente a pasta, decisão que levanta dúvidas sobre uma possível remodelação governamental. O pedido partiu do primeiro-ministro e terá sido apresentado no final da semana passada, sendo que a ministra já dava sinais de querer sair. Amaral estava politicamente fragilizada após fortes críticas à gestão das respostas à tempestade “Kristin” e, antes disso, aos incêndios do último verão, sendo apontada uma desadequação de perfil para a dimensão política da função. A demissão surge também após apelos públicos, incluindo de Gouveia e Melo. Sai ao fim de menos de oito meses no Governo, marcando a terceira mudança na Administração Interna na era Montenegro. O Antes Pelo Contrário foi emitido a 10 de fevereiro na SIC Notícias.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

I capigruppo Colman e Costa, ancora una volta uniti in un'iniziativa comune, annunciano la presentazione di una mozione che chiede la revoca dell'adesione al progetto SAI Mosaico e la destinazione dell'alloggio comunale previsto per il programma ad una famiglia di Niscemi, colpita nei giorni scorsi da eventi meteorologici di straordinaria violenza.
Avui dimecres parlem detalladament del projecte d'implementació de la IA 360º per part de Lloret Turisme. La implementació de la intel·ligència artificial 360º és una eina clau per reforçar l'estratègia turística i el posicionament de Lloret de Mar. Amb aquesta premissa, Lloret Turisme ha presentat un projecte a Fitur, davant del sector turístic professional. Aprofitant la fira internacional de turisme de Madrid, que es va dur a terme la setmana passada, Lloret Turisme va donar a conèixer una iniciativa estratègica que suposa una evolució del seu model de gestió turística i incorpora una visió molt més integral i innovadora. Avui en parlem detalladament amb la gerent de Lloret Turisme, Elizabeth Keegan. Altres temes d'interès: Innovació: El lloretenc Youssef Lyoussi ha inventat un nou sistema per fer mamografies. El punt fort és que assegura que amb aquest nou mètode, les dones no patiran dolor. Al BDBH d'avui ens en parla. Cultura: Parlem de la Selva Drag, un concurs que vol donar visibilitat a l'art drag i oferir una plataforma per a artistes emergents de la comarca. Ens en donaran els detalls Joi Pineda (del SAI de Lloret) i Míriam Rodríguez, regidora d'Igualtat. Cinema: Aquest dijous el Cineclub Adler projecta la pel·lícula “Esmorza amb mi” i, posteriorment, es farà un col·loqui amb el director, Ivan Morales, qui també parlarà de l'obra “El día del Watusi”, que es podrà veure a Lloret a finals de febrer. Avui entrevistem al director Ivan Morales. Teatre: Ens fem ressò de l'obra familiar que es podrà veure diumenge al migdia, titulada “Sigues tortuga”. S'adreça a infants a partir de 4 anys. En parlem amb Víctor Polo.

Sai Hughley: “Villain”, Vision, & Staying Ready | Pod Friends This week's Pod Friends guest is Sai Hughley (@BeyonSai_ on Instagram), one of the most dynamic and debated personalities from Survivor 48. Joining Matt Scott (@MattScottGW), Sai opens up about navigating life in the public eye, being labeled a “villain,” and what it really means to own your story when the internet has already decided who you are. Sai takes us through her journey from journalism and digital content creation to entertainment marketing with NBC, sharing how her career behind the scenes prepared her for the spotlight in front of the camera. She talks about the power of vision boarding and scrapbooking, manifesting big dreams, staying ready for opportunities, and learning to play big even when others try to shrink you. The conversation also dives deep into representation and inspiration, as Sai reflects on the Black women who have shaped her perspective, the importance of tenacity, and the mindset it takes to go after the life you want. Plus, Matt and Sai have some fun breaking down dream picks for the Survivor 50 cast and debating which reality TV players would be perfect for The Traitors. If you've ever been misunderstood, underestimated, or turned into a character instead of a person, Sai's story is a powerful reminder that perception doesn't define you — your confidence does.

project without sacrificing time with her family.It: Ma il suo supervisore le aveva detto chiaramente: "Abbiamo bisogno di risultati, e in fretta".En: But her supervisor had told her clearly: "We need

turn.It: Con decisione, dichiarò il suo intento di mantenere l'equilibrio tra lavoro e vita personale.En: With determination, she declared her intention to maintain a balance between work and personal life.It: "Ma," aggiunse, "devo anche riuscire nel progetto che mi è stato affidato."En: "But," she added, "I also need to succeed in the project that has been assigned to me."It: Le settimane passarono in un turbine.En: The weeks passed in a whirlwind.It: La lista dei compiti di Giulia cresceva ogni giorno.En: Giulia's task list grew every day.It: Il fatidico venerdì arrivò veloce, e con esso un importante incontro con il cliente, proprio durante il recital del figlio di Giulia.En: The fateful Friday arrived quickly, and with it an important meeting with the client, right during Giulia's son's recital.It: Era il momento della verità: rimanere in ufficio o andare al recital?En: It was the moment of truth: stay in the office or go to the recital?It: Nell'incontro settimanale, Giulia spiegò la situazione.En: In the weekly meeting, Giulia explained the situation.It: "Devo essere presente per mio figlio," disse, "ma il progetto non può aspettare."En: "I need to be there for

work.It: Imparerò molto," propose.En: I will learn a lot," he proposed.It: Lorenzo annuì: "Sai, delegare è un'arte.En: Lorenzo nodded: "You know, delegating is an art.It: Non puoi fare tutto da sola."En: You can't do everything alone."It: Giulia li guardò, grata.En: Giulia looked at them, grateful.It: "Va bene, vi affido alcune responsabilità.En: "Alright, I'll entrust you with some responsibilities.It: Lavoreremo come squadra," accettò.En: We will work as a team," she accepted.It: Con un piano in mente e fiducia nel suo team, Giulia organizzò tutto in modo che il progetto proseguisse senza intoppi.En: With a plan in mind and confidence in her team, Giulia organized everything so that the project would proceed smoothly.It: Quella sera, Giulia sedette in platea, il cuore colmo di felicità mentre suo figlio suonava sul palco.En: That evening, Giulia sat in the audience, her heart full of happiness as her son played on stage.It: Nel frattempo, Matteo e Lorenzo gestivano con successo la presentazione finale del progetto.En: Meanwhile, Matteo and Lorenzo successfully managed the project's final presentation.It: Uscita dal teatro, Giulia si sentiva sollevata.En: Leaving

THE ZOMBIE REGIME AND STRATEGIC TARGETS Colleague Jonathan Sayeh. Jonathan Sayeh labels the Islamic Republic a "zombie regime" facing an existential threat despite its brutal crackdowns. He reports that the IRGC and foreign militias are using automatic weapons against protesters in cities like Tehran and Mashhad. Sai suggests that USintervention should prioritize striking repression centers and state-run propaganda machines to dismantle the regime's control. NUMBER 151870 Tehran
SHOW1-12-26"THE MAKING OF THE JOHN BATCHELOR SHOW""The Making of the John Batchelor Show" is a live-streaming "beta" experiment launched by John Batchelor on Monday, January 12, 2026. The primary objective of this specific program is to demonstrate "total transparency" by allowing the audience to see the behind-the-scenes process and technical "bumps" involved in producing the show.GLOBAL CHAOS AND THE EROSION OF STABILITY Colleagues Bill Roggio and Husain Haqqani. The guests discuss worldwide instability, arguing that the US has abandoned its traditional role in maintaining global order. They examine conflicts in Iran, Syria, and Venezuela, suggesting US actions are often driven by whims rather than strategic planning, leading to a state of heightened chaos. NUMBER 1FICTIONS IN SYRIA AND THE RISKS OF INTERVENTION Colleagues Bill Roggio and Husain Haqqani. The discussion focuses on the Syrian conflict, criticizing the US for maintaining "fictions" about local actors and security forces. Haqqani warns against military intervention in Iran, citing past failures like Vietnam and Iraq, noting that military force cannot solve misunderstood political problems. NUMBER 2CHINA'S GREAT HEIST OF AMERICAN SECRETS Colleagues David Shedd and Bill Roggio. David Sheddoutlines China's extensive cyber espionage campaigns, including "Salt Typhoon," which successfully hacked US Congressional committees. These operations aim to steal sensitive communications and embed sabotage tools within USinfrastructure, highlighting a critical failure in American defensive preparedness. NUMBER 3REGIME CHANGE AND SHIFTING POWER IN THE AMERICAS Colleagues David Shedd and Bill Roggio. Shedd details the removal of Nicolas Maduro and a regional shift toward center-right governments. This transition aims to end Russian and Chinese influence in the Western Hemisphere. Furthermore, the US is demanding stricter security cooperation from Mexico to dismantle powerful drug cartels. NUMBER 4IRANIAN PROTESTS AND THE COLLAPSE OF REGIME CONTROL Colleague Malcolm Hoenlein. Protests across Iran have turned deadly, with reports of hundreds killed by live fire and hospitals refusing wounded demonstrators. Malcolm Hoenlein highlights a communication blackout and a collapsing economy where the currency has plummeted. A new minority coalition of Baluchis and Kurds is now supporting rebellion. NUMBER 5THE SHIFTING BALANCE OF FEAR IN IRAN Colleague Malcolm Hoenlein. As the regime faces potential implosion, discussions involve a return of the Shah's son as a symbolic figurehead, though no clear path to collective leadership exists. Revolutionaries are now tagging the homes of officials, signaling that the balance of fear has shifted from the people to the leadership. NUMBER 6RUSSIA'S ORESHNIK MISSILE AND PSYCHOLOGICAL DETERRENCE Colleague John Hardy. Russia is utilizing the Oreshnik missile to strike Ukrainian infrastructure, leaving thousands without heat. John Hardy explains these strikes serve as psychological intimidation to deter Western nations from providing security guarantees or ground troops. Recent strikes likely targeted an aircraft repair plant, not gas storage. NUMBER 7ESCALATING CONFLICT BETWEEN SYRIAN FORCES AND KURDISH ALLIES Colleague Akmed Khari. Clashes have erupted in Aleppo between the Syrian government and the Kurdish SDF after a failed integration agreement. Akmed Khari notes the complexity of the US coordinating with Syrian security forces that remain riddled with jihadists. The conflict is expected to expand into other contested regions. Analogy: The situation in Syria is like a shaky alliance between rival firefighters who, while ostensibly trying to put out the same blaze, begin turning their hoses on each other while the fire continues to spread. NUMBER 8THE US-MANAGED TRANSITION IN POST-MADURO VENEZUELA Colleague Ernesto Araújo. John Batchelor and Ernesto Araújo discuss the US-led operation that captured Nicolas Maduro. Araújo describes the current situation as a well-managed transition where the US is navigating internal power struggles among military factions and criminal gangs rather than allowing a power vacuum to form. NUMBER 9REGIONAL SHIFTS: COLOMBIA'S DIPLOMACY AND BRAZIL'S POLITICAL FUTURE Colleague Ernesto Araújo. The discussion focuses on Gustavo Petro's pivot toward the United States and the historical concept of "Grand Colombia." In Brazil, they evaluate Lula da Silva's potential re-election bid against the enduring popularity of the imprisoned Jair Bolsonaro and the influence of new nationalist political forces. NUMBER 10REGIONAL REACTIONS TO MADURO'S CAPTURE AND THE ISOLATION OF CUBA Colleague Alejandro Peña Esclusa. Alejandro Peña Esclusa reports that Venezuelans are celebrating Maduro's capture while the Trumpadministration halts oil shipments to Cuba. He explains that regional left-wing leaders fear a trial will reveal their corrupt ties to Maduro, while the Cuban regime faces collapse without Venezuelan energy. NUMBER 11THE FOUR FAMILIES OF CARACAS AND THE END OF THE REGIME Colleague Alejandro Peña Esclusa. Esclusa analyzes the four mafias currently competing for power in Caracas: the Rodriguez siblings, Diosdado Cabello, Padrino Lopez, and Maduro's remnants. He argues that overwhelming US military force has rendered local weapons irrelevant and that the dismantling of these groups is necessary for elections. NUMBER 12ESCALATING IRANIAN PROTESTS AND POTENTIAL US INTERVENTION Colleague Edmund Fitton-Brown. Edmund Fitton-Brown describes the current Iranian protests as a movement that has shifted into a repression phase characterized by internet blackouts and rising casualties. He argues that US military force targeting repression organs could tip the balance in favor of the protesters, who are increasingly calling for a constitutional monarchy. The regime is reportedly attempting to negotiate following US strike threats. NUMBER 13THE COLLAPSE OF THE AXIS OF RESISTANCE Colleague Edmund Fitton-Brown. Fitton-Brown explains how the fall of the Iranian regime would devastate its regional proxies, including Hezbollah, the Houthis, and Iraqi militias, which depend on IRGC funding and training. Without Tehran's "big brother" support, these groups would likely be forced to make accommodations with local governments. He also notes Hezbollah's role as an international drug cartel. NUMBER 14THE ZOMBIE REGIME AND STRATEGIC TARGETS Colleague Jonathan Sai. Jonathan Sai labels the Islamic Republic a "zombie regime" facing an existential threat despite its brutal crackdowns. He reports that the IRGC and foreign militias are using automatic weapons against protesters in cities like Tehran and Mashhad. Sai suggests that USintervention should prioritize striking repression centers and state-run propaganda machines to dismantle the regime's control. NUMBER 15HEZBOLLAH'S SURVIVAL AND THE LOSS OF REGIONAL LIFELINES Colleague David Daoud. David Daoud characterizes Hezbollah as an ideological extension of Iran currently in survival mode as its lifelines in Syria and Venezuela weaken. While Hezbollah wants the regime to survive for power projection, Daoud suggests Iraqi militias are more likely to be physically assisting Tehran's crackdowns due to their proximity and lower combat losses compared to Hezbollah. To clarify the current state of the Iranian government, Jonathan Sai uses the metaphor of a "zombie regime": it may appear to be moving and in control, but it is functionally dead because it can no longer sustain its support base or provide basic necessities for its people.

LA BIBLIOTECA SEGRETA DI LEOPOLDO Certa gente è strana,gli piace passare le serate a leggere libri. Altri sono ancora più strani —credono alla magia che si trova tra le pagine,alle avventure fantastiche,alle storie di amori impossibili,ai fantasmi che girano fra i vivie pensano che tutto ciò che non esiste —forse invece sì. In breve, questa storia è per quelli un po' stranicome me e te —insomma, per quelli che. Allora… ascolta bene. Se dal centro del paese prendi la via per il monte,trovi una villa vecchia e nobile,che è lì da tanto tempo.Saranno sì e no 350 anniche sta lì in silenzio,osservando e respirando pianosotto il cielo toscano. Stanze enormi piene di storia,corridoi senza finee finestre grandi come sogni,ma adesso, invece di piatti e statuine di porcellana,sforna storie su carta per chi le vuole leggere. Sì, ora è la biblioteca del paese —un po' fuori mano ma tanto bella.Beh, non si può avere tutto. Insomma, fatto sta che,in una notte d'estate,avvolta da un manto di stellee la luce soffusa di lanterne delicate,la villa si era riempita di voci, musica, sorrisie tante storie raccontate e ascoltate,a voce alta o sussurrate,che si intrecciavano nell'abbraccio della festa. Indubbiamente una serata già speciale,ma fate attenzioneperché qualcosa di ancora più insolito stava per avvenire. Sì, perché anche Elisa era lì.Occhi grandi come il cielo,capelli scuri come la nottee un libro in mano — come sempre. Nonostante tutto quello che le accadeva intorno,Elisa preferiva leggere. Era lì, nel corridoio principale:fra il giardino e la corte interna,a mezza strada fra il sicuro e il forse,seduta su una poltrona un po' troppo grande per lei,immersa in una storia misteriosa e avvincente —in un mondo tutto suo. Gira una pagina, poi un'altra,si accomoda gli occhiali giallie gira un'altra pagina… Quando lentamentel'eco di una musica di pianoforteraggiunse le sue orecchie. Non ci fece tanto attenzione.Credendo che provenisse dal cortilevoltò un'altra pagina — e poi un'altra. Ma in breve tempo si rese contoche le note che sentivanon venivano dal cortile della villama da uno dei suoi corridoi —portate da un vento leggero,da luoghi lontani e senza tempo. Senza pensarci troppo,Elisa si alzò silenziosamente,si mise il libro sotto il braccioe inseguì la musica. Attraversò antichi corridoie stanze con scaffali pieni di volumidi ogni dimensione e colori immaginabili —arcobaleni di pensieri e parole in fila per unoche sembravano non finire mai. Mentre la musica diventava più marcatala luce diminuiva,le stanze che attraversavacominciarono ad apparire dimenticate,le scale di pietra che saliva e scendevaconsumate dal tempo,i corridoi laterali erano ora passaggi scuriilluminati solamente da torce alle pareti,che apparivano e scomparivano nel buiocome respiri. Una scala,una porta di legno socchiusa,un altro passaggio,un'altra scalae ancora stanze e scaffali e libri a non finire. Poi, all'improvviso,una foschia coprì il pavimentocome una marea gentilee davanti a lei una grande tenda pesante —socchiusa. Si intravedeva un po' di lucee poche scalette di legno. Le salì, quelle piccole scale,e la musica la avvolse come un abbraccio. Sul palco, candele fluttuavano nell'ariacome lucciole in una notte senza tempo.E lì, al centro,seduto davanti a un pianoforte piccolo piccolo,c'era un topo. Ma non un topo qualunque. Leopoldo indossava una giacca di tweed verde scuro,pantaloni marroni stirati con cura,e sul musetto, occhiali doratiche brillavano di una saggezza antica e gentile. Le sue dita danzavano sui tasticome se stessero raccontando un segreto. «Benvenuta, Elisa» disse, senza smettere di suonare.«Ti stavo aspettando.» Elisa sbatté gli occhi, incantata.«Come sai il mio nome?» «Ah,» sorrise Leopoldo, lasciando che l'ultima notasi spegnesse dolcemente nell'aria,«chi ama le storie riconosce sempre chi le cerca.» Si alzò, si aggiustò la giacca con un gesto elegante,e la guardò con occhi pieni di stelle. «Sai dove sei?» «Nella biblioteca del paese,» rispose Elisa,ma la sua voce tremava un po',come se sapesse che la risposta era un'altra. «Quella la conoscono tutti,» disse Leopoldo,scendendo piano dal palco.«Ogni paese ne ha una che tutti conoscono.Ma ogni paese ne ha anche un'altra —una che quasi nessuno trova.» Fece una pausa, gli occhi che brillavano. «Tu hai trovato la seconda.» --- Leopoldo la guidò verso una grande porta di legnoche Elisa avrebbe giurato non esserci un attimo prima.Si aprì lentamente, senza rumore,come un sospiro trattenuto troppo a lungo. E quello che vide le tolse il fiato. Scaffali infiniti si arrampicavano verso l'alto,scendevano verso il basso,si estendevano in ogni direzionecome spirali di galassie fatte di carta e sogni.Candele galleggiavano ovunque,illuminando libri che sembravano respirare,pulsare piano,come cuori addormentati. «Che posto è questo?» sussurrò Elisa. «Questa,» disse Leopoldo camminando tra gli scaffali,«è la biblioteca dei libri mai scritti.» Elisa lo seguì, confusa.«Libri mai scritti? Ma come possono esistere?» Leopoldo si fermò, si voltò,e la guardò con dolcezza infinita. «Ogni storia sognata esiste, Elisa.Ogni avventura immaginata prima di dormire.Ogni racconto pensato ma mai messo su carta.Vivono tutti qui,al confine tra il mondo e il sogno,aspettando.» --- Si fermarono davanti a uno scaffale. Leopoldo indicò un libro piccolo,rilegato in blu come un cielo d'estate. «Toccalo,» disse piano. Elisa allungò la mano, esitante,e sfiorò la copertina. Un calore gentile le attraversò le dita.E per un istante — solo un istante —sentì una risata di bambino,vide un drago fatto di nuvole,e un castello costruito con cuscini e coperte. «Questo,» disse Leopoldo,«era il sogno di un bambino di sei anni.Una storia che raccontava ogni sera al suo orsacchiotto.Non l'ha mai scritta.Ma esiste. Vedi? Esiste.» Elisa sorrise, il cuore leggero. --- Camminarono ancora,tra corridoi di storie silenziose,finché Leopoldo si fermò davanti a un altro libro. Questo era diverso.Più grande, rilegato in pelle scura,con lettere dorate che sembravano tremare. «E questo?» chiese Elisa, piano. «Questo,» disse Leopoldo,e la sua voce si fece morbida come una carezza,«apparteneva a una nonna.» Elisa lo toccò. E sentì qualcosa di diverso. Non una risata, questa volta.Ma una voce calda, lontana,che raccontava di una bambina coraggiosache attraversava un bosco incantatoper portare la luce a un villaggio dimenticato. «Era la storia che voleva lasciare ai suoi nipoti,»spiegò Leopoldo.«Ma il tempo... il tempo a volte corre più veloce dei sogni.Non ha fatto in tempo a scriverla.» Elisa sentì gli occhi pizzicare. «Ma è qui,» sussurrò. «È qui,» confermò Leopoldo.«Per sempre.» --- Continuarono a camminare, in silenzio,finché arrivarono a uno scaffale diverso dagli altri. Era quasi vuoto.Solo pochi libri, distanziati,e tanti spazi aperti, in attesa. Al centro, un libro senza titolo. La copertina era bianca, pulita,come neve appena caduta,come una pagina che aspetta il primo segno. «Posso?» chiese Elisa. Leopoldo annuì. Lo toccò. Niente.Nessun calore. Nessuna voce.Solo silenzio.Ma un silenzio pieno,come un respiro trattenuto. «Questo libro è vuoto,» disse Elisa, sorpresa. «Non ancora scritto,» corresse Leopoldo.«Nemmeno sognato. Non ancora.Aspetta qualcuno che trovi il coraggiodi immaginarlo.» Si voltò verso di lei,e i suoi occhi brillaronocome le candele che fluttuavano intorno. «Forse aspetta te.Forse aspetta qualcun altro.Ma aspetta.» --- Elisa rimase ferma,a guardare quel libro bianco. E capì. Capì che ogni storia che aveva immaginato,ogni avventura inventata prima di dormire,ogni sogno che credeva perso al risveglio,esisteva da qualche parte. E capì qualcos'altro. Che non bisogna avere paura di scrivere. Perché le storie esistono già —nel cuore, nella mente, nei sogni.Metterle su cartanon è crearle dal nulla.È solo aprire una portae lasciarle uscire. --- «Devo andare, vero?» disse Elisa, piano. Leopoldo sorrise.«Il tuo mondo ti aspetta.Ma ora sai che questo posto esiste.E sai che ogni storia che sogneraiavrà sempre un posto qui,che tu la scriva o no.» Fece una pausa. «Ma se la scrivi,» aggiunse con un sorriso furbo,«potrà vivere anche là fuori.E quella, mia cara, è un'altra magia ancora.» --- Elisa si ritrovò nel corridoio della villa,seduta sulla poltrona un po' troppo grande per lei,il libro ancora sotto il braccio. La festa continuava,voci e musica e risate,come se il tempo non fosse mai passato. Ma qualcosa era cambiato. Lei era cambiata. Aprì il libro che stava leggendo,guardò le pagine,e sorrise. Poi lo chiuse. Perché adesso sapevache le storie più bellenon sono solo quelle che leggiamo. Sono quelle che portiamo dentro,quelle che sogniamo ad occhi aperti,e quelle che un giorno,con un po' di coraggio,osiamo raccontare. --- *— Scritta da Marco Ciappelli* Each story is currently written and narrated in both Italian and English.The translation from Italian (the original language) to English and the reading of the stories are performed using Generative Artificial Intelligence — which perhaps has a touch of magic...

In this episode, @geoengineering1 interviews Athar Hussain, physicist and professor of atmospheric science at COMSATS University, Pakistan, about his recent study examining how SAI could influence malaria transmission across South Asia. Using the VECTRI malaria model, the research compares an unmitigated high-emissions pathway (RCP8.5) with the GLENS-SAI scenario, which stabilizes global temperatures at 2020 levels, across seven countries: Afghanistan, Bangladesh, Bhutan, Iran, India, Nepal, and Pakistan.The discussion highlights that while SAI could reduce overall malaria transmission intensity across much of the region by lowering vector density, entomological inoculation rates (EIR), and case numbers, its effects are spatially uneven, with localized increases projected in parts of Pakistan, Afghanistan, Iran, and Nepal. The conversation also explores the public-health implications of these shifts, the potential risks and trade-offs of solar geoengineering, and the importance of region-specific strategies, local expertise, and international collaboration in addressing climate-related health risks.Paper: Hussain, A., Shoaib, M., & Latif, M.

What if the most powerful health checkup you ever had happened at your kitchen table, not a clinic? We sit down with Dr. Natasha Milinkovic, a UK physician who moved from the front lines of vascular surgery and emergency medicine to the leading edge of preventive care, to explore how lab‑grade at‑home blood testing and intelligent coaching can change outcomes before a crisis hits.We start with the problem he saw repeatedly: people arriving late with preventable chronic disease. That urgency drives a practical roadmap for what to measure and why. You'll hear a clear breakdown of high‑value biomarkers—HbA1c for glucose trends, ApoB and the ApoB to ApoA1 ratio for cardiovascular risk, and thyroid markers for therapy tuning—and why total cholesterol alone often misleads. Tosh explains how accuracy is maintained through CLIA‑accredited labs and transparent methods, addressing trust in a post‑Theranos world. We also dig into biological age: how markers like hs‑CRP, HbA1c, and sex hormones push it up or down, and the specific lifestyle levers that can nudge it younger over the next 90 days.Then we open the hood on Sai, an AI longevity expert trained on a clinician‑curated knowledge base. Instead of scraping the noisy web, Sai reads your longitudinal labs, medications, and context to deliver personalized, evidence‑based guidance. Think trend detection for creeping glucose, stubborn ApoB, or hidden inflammation—and concrete next steps that you can take today. Looking ahead, Tosh shares what's next: home hardware that brings instant panels into your routine and a vision of predictive health where alerts trigger action long before symptoms do.If you want to cut through hype, track the markers that matter, and pair credible data with smart coaching, this conversation will give you the playbook. Subscribe, share with a friend who's optimizing their health, and leave a review with the one biomarker you plan to track this year.Note: I am an advisor to Siphox but I only advise those companies whose products I would use for myself and family.https://siphoxhealth.com/lufkinFASTING CHALLENGE: https://robert-lufkin.mykajabi.com/fast?ref=RLLies I Taught In Medical School : Free sample chapter- https://www.robertlufkinmd.com/lies/Complete Metabolic Heart Scan (LUFKIN20 for 20% off) https://www.innerscopic.com/Fasting Mimicking Diet (20% off) https://prolonlife.com/Lufkin At home blood testing (20% off) https://siphoxhealth.com/lufkin Web: https://robertlufkinmd.com/X: https://x.com/robertlufkinmdYoutube: https://www.youtube.com/robertLufkinmdSubstack: https://robertlufkinmd.substack.com Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/robertlufkinmd/LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/robertlufkinmd/TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@robertlufkinThreads: https://www.threads.net/@robertlufkinmdFacebook: ...
In questo articolo parliamo di una delle tradizioni più amate dagli italiani: l'aperitivo! Se stai imparando l'italiano, sicuramente avrai sentito questa parola mille volte. Ma sai davvero cosa significa e perché gli italiani sono così ossessionati da questo momento della giornata? L'APERITIVO: da dove nasce e perché si fa? Che cos'è l'Aperitivo? L'aperitivo è molto più di una semplice bevanda: è un rituale sociale che unisce cibo, drink e compagnia. Tradizionalmente si consuma tra le 18:00 e le 20:00, prima della cena, ed è il momento perfetto per rilassarsi dopo una giornata di lavoro e socializzare con amici o colleghi. Ma attenzione! Non confondere l'aperitivo con l'apericena - una versione moderna e più sostanziosa che può addirittura sostituire la cena! TermineDefinizioneOrarioAperitivoBevanda + stuzzichini leggeri18:00 - 20:00ApericenaAperitivo abbondante che sostituisce la cena19:00 - 21:00 Le Origini: una Storia che Viene da Lontano La storia dell'aperitivo inizia nell'antica Roma, dove si beveva il "mulsum" - una miscela di vino e miele - per stimolare l'appetito prima dei banchetti. Ma il vero padre dell'aperitivo moderno è Antonio Benedetto Carpano, un distillatore torinese che nel 1786 inventò il primo vermouth commerciale nella sua bottega in Piazza Castello a Torino. Curiosità: Si dice che il re Vittorio Amedeo III fosse così innamorato del vermouth di Carpano che mandava i suoi lacchè a comprarlo personalmente! Perché si Chiama "Aperitivo"? La parola "aperitivo" deriva dal latino "aperire", che significa "aprire". Ma cosa si apre esattamente? Lo stomaco e l'appetito! L'idea è che queste bevande, generalmente amare o leggermente alcoliche, stimolino i succhi gastrici e "aprano" l'appetito per il pasto successivo. Gli antichi romani sapevano già quello che la scienza moderna ha confermato: certe sostanze amare effettivamente stimolano la digestione!

Transcript:It: Il cielo sopra Firenze era un mare di stelle scintillanti, mentre la cattedrale si alzava maestosa con le sue guglie toccate dalla luce della luna.En: The sky above Firenze was a sea of sparkling stars, while the cathedral rose majestically with its spires touched by the moonlight.It: Un freddo pungente indicava l'arrivo delle festività, e le strade erano immerse nel profumo di caldarroste e spezie natalizie.En: A biting cold signaled the arrival of the holidays, and the streets were filled with the scent of roasted chestnuts and Christmas spices.It: Luca camminava al fianco di Giulia, la sua giovane sorella, mentre si dirigevano verso la Cattedrale di Santa Maria del Fiore.En: Luca walked beside Giulia, his young sister, as they made their way to the Cattedrale di Santa Maria del Fiore.It: Ogni Vigilia di Natale, la loro famiglia aveva la tradizione di assistere alla messa notturna, ma quest'anno Luca sentiva una strana inquietudine nel cuore.En: Every Christmas Eve, their family had the tradition of attending the midnight mass, but this year Luca felt a strange unease in his heart.It: La fede che un tempo lo aveva lasciato in pace sembrava lontana, come una vecchia amica che si era trasferita in una città distante.En: The faith that once gave him peace seemed distant, like an old friend who had moved to a faraway city.It: Giulia, con i suoi occhi sfavillanti e il sorriso a mille denti, chiacchierava allegra del presepio e delle decorazioni di Natale.En: Giulia, with her sparkling eyes and beaming smile, chatted cheerfully about the nativity scene and Christmas decorations.It: Amava questa tradizione più di ogni altra cosa, e si impegnava a tenere unita la famiglia, anche quando l'entusiasmo di Luca era vacillante.En: She loved this tradition more than anything else and was determined to keep the family united, even when Luca's enthusiasm was waning.It: "Luca, guarda che belle stelle!En: "Luca, look at those beautiful stars!"It: ", esclamò indicando il cielo.En: she exclaimed, pointing at the sky.It: Luca sorrise debolmente, ma dentro di lui il tumulto cresceva.En: Luca smiled weakly, but inside him, the turmoil was growing.It: Voleva tanto condividere i suoi pensieri con Giulia, ma temeva di deluderla.En: He wanted so much to share his thoughts with Giulia, but he feared letting her down.It: Arrivati di fronte alla grande porta della cattedrale, un coro di canti natalizi riempì l'aria, e il calore delle candele si percepiva attraverso le pareti spesse di marmo.En: Arriving in front of the great door of the cathedral, a choir of Christmas carols filled the air, and the warmth of the candles could be felt through the thick marble walls.It: Durante la messa, Luca ascoltava le parole del sacerdote, ma i suoi pensieri vagavano altrove.En: During the mass, Luca listened to the priest's words, but his thoughts wandered elsewhere.It: Osservava le espressioni serene delle persone intorno a lui e si chiedeva come potessero avere quella pace interiore.En: He observed the serene expressions of the people around him and wondered how they could have such inner peace.It: Giulia, seduta accanto a lui, avvertì la sua esitazione.En: Giulia, sitting next to him, sensed his hesitation.It: Dopo la messa, durante un momento di raccoglimento davanti al presepio, Giulia si girò verso di lui e sussurrò, "Sai, Luca, per me il Natale non è solo fede.En: After the mass, during a moment of reflection in front of the nativity scene, Giulia turned to him and whispered, "You know, Luca, for me, Christmas isn't just about faith.It: È stare insieme, sentire che siamo una famiglia.En: It's about being together, feeling that we are a family.It: Alla fine, quello che conta è volerci bene."En: In the end, what matters is that we care for each other."It: Quelle parole toccarono Luca profondamente.En: Those words touched Luca deeply.It: Realizzò che forse non era necessario abbracciare ogni aspetto della tradizione per trovare serenità.En: He realized that perhaps it wasn't necessary to embrace every aspect of the tradition to find serenity.It: La vera importanza era il legame che teneva uniti lui, Giulia e il resto della famiglia.En: The true importance was the bond that kept him, Giulia, and the rest of the family together.It: Mentre uscivano dalla cattedrale, con il cuore più leggero e un nuovo senso di pace, Luca strinse la mano di Giulia.En: As they exited the cathedral, with his heart lighter and a new sense of peace, Luca held Giulia's hand.It: Capì che il valore della tradizione non stava nel credo, ma nell'amore condiviso.En: He understood that the value of the tradition wasn't in the belief, but in the shared love.It: In quel momento di rivelazione, una nuova luce s'era accesa nel suo cuore e sembrava che persino le stelle brillassero di più.En: In that moment of revelation, a new light had been kindled in his heart, and it seemed as if even the stars shone more brightly.It: Forse, pensò, non era tanto lontano da quella vecchia amica, dopotutto.En: Perhaps, he thought, he wasn't so far from that old friend after all.

PREVIEW Japanese PM Sai Links Taiwan Blockade to Existential Threat, Enabling Collective Defense. Lance Gatlingdiscusses Japanese Prime Minister Takahichi Sai's comments regarding collective defense concerning Taiwan. This concept, enabled by a 2015 law, allows Japan to partner with other nations for national security purposes. Sai suggested that if Taiwan is threatened or blockaded, it could be construed as an existential threat against Japan. Her unscripted remarks, made during a parliamentary budget committee meeting, implied that Japan might engage in collective defense under those circumstances. Guest: Lance Gatling. 1942 MANILA

He characterizes tariffs as a potentially costly geopolitical weapon with uncertain strategic benefits. 1015-1030 Tariffs as a Consumer Tax and the Inflationary Impact Guest: Professor John Cochrane Professor John Cochrane explains that tariffs effectively function as a tax on American consumers and create a temporary bump in inflation throughout the economy.
