O que é um animal exótico? Um mesmo animal pode ser exótico em algum lugar mas noutro não? E o que seria um animal selvagem? E silvestre? Essa semana conversamos sobre essas definições todas e como esses animais podem estar presentes no nosso dia a dia. Além disso, quais os impactos de termos esses animais à disposição em nosso país? Como acontece o mercado e quais as consequências para os animais, para o meio ambiente e para nós, humanos? Patronato do SciCast: 1. Patreon SciCast 2. Apoia.se/Scicast 3.

The first, Santa Maria del Naranco, in Asturia Northern Spain, was built as a summer palace for King Ramiros I in 842 CE. It is a surprising building in many ways, precociously Romanesque and highly resolved by 9th-century standards, its proportional logics give the building a profound presence, especially its end facades. We then discussed the sprawling, accretive mass of Frank Lloyd Wright's House and Studio in Oak Park, Chicago. This was his home and place of business from the late-1880s until the mid-1900s, and it grew substantially from modest gable-ended suburban cottage to hulking compound as his family and business grew. We also discussed the surrounding neighbourhood of Oak Park, which contains many idiosyncratic domestic designs from the pen of this erratic giant of American architecture.

Alessandro Angelini"Roma Seicento"La sculturaOfficina Librariawww.officinalibraria.netQuando si pensa alla scultura del Seicento a Roma vengono subito in mente le celebri opere di Gian Lorenzo Bernini: dall'Estasi di Santa Teresa in Santa Maria della Vittoria alle celebri opere della Galleria Borghese, Apollo e Dafne, il David, il Ratto di Proserpina... Il concetto stesso di Barocco romano s'identifica con il suo nome, ma altri grandi scultori contribuirono a rendere estremamente sfaccettato e complesso il panorama straordinario della statuaria a Roma di quegli anni. Il percorso prende le mosse dalla produzione scultorea dei primi decenni del secolo, rappresentata da diverse personalità e da un accentuato cosmopolitismo, che tende poco dopo a polarizzarsi attorno alle figure di Bernini, Alessandro Algardi e François Duquesnoy. A un nuovo modo di confrontarsi con l'antico si accompagna una vigorosa tendenza al colorismo di matrice veneziana e una ricerca di effetti e toni di sorprendente originalità, analizzate attentamente in una lunga introduzione al volume che ambisce a essere una vera e propria guida della città. Questo libro espone, in modo lineare e secondo una serrata successione cronologica, quei fatti storico-artistici grazie a numerose tavole a colori, aggiornati apparati e una mappa di Roma in cui ritrovare le opere dettagliatamente analizzate in agili schede di approfondimento.Alessandro Angelini (Siena, 1958), laureatosi con Giovanni Previtali, è professore ordinario in Storia dell'arte moderna all'Università degli Studi di Siena. I suoi interessi si sono concentrati per lo più sulla pittura del Rinascimento a Siena e in Toscana e sulla scultura del Seicento a Roma. Tra le sue pubblicazioni Gian Lorenzo Bernini e i Chigi tra Roma e Siena (1998); Bernini (1999); Pio II e le arti. La riscoperta dell'antico da Federighi a Michelangelo (2005); Piero della Francesca (2014). Nel 2022 ha co-curato la mostra urbinate su Federico da Montefeltro e Francesco di Giorgio: Urbino crocevia delle arti.

On February 4th, UCSB students and community members numbered in the hundreds walked out of class and marched across campus. They gathered to protest against ICE activity in Santa Barbara, Santa Maria, and Carpinteria. KCSB's Hunter Maher was on the ground as the rally moved from Cheadle Hall to Storke Plaza.

We're diving into the sunny vibes of El Puerto de Santa Maria, a gem in southern Spain, where life is all about community and connection. Our guest, Daniel Cairns, swapped the hustle of London for the laid-back lifestyle of Andalusia, and he's here to share how he and his partner are creating a welcoming home for expats in their Casa de Vecinos project. Together, they're redefining retirement by blending practical tips on healthcare and living costs with the joy of embracing local culture—think flamenco and sherry tastings! We'll chat about how to navigate life in this vibrant town, from the best places to eat (hello, tapas!) to how to get involved in the community. So grab your sunglasses and let's get into the good life in El Puerto!El Puerto de Santa Maria is where the sun shines, the sherry flows, and the LGBTQ community thrives! In this episode, we dive into the coastal charm of this Andalusian gem with our guest Daniel Cairns, who swapped the hustle of London for a more relaxed life in Spain. Daniel shares how he and his partner, John, created a cozy home and a vibrant community project that welcomes newcomers with open arms. We talk about the importance of integrating into local culture, navigating the healthcare system, and embracing the joys of outdoor living.

I wrapped up my Madeira trip with a real highlight: touring the Santa Maria with Nicholas D'Souza, the General Manager who's been with PortoBay for 13 years and knows every inch of this place.We chat as we wander the property, diving into how tech keeps things running smoothly behind the scenes while the team focuses on that genuine, family-feel hospitality PortoBay is famous for. Nicholas shares stories of return guests who feel like old friends, the clever systems that make operations effortless, and why Madeira's unique vibe keeps people coming back year after year.Through out conversation, Nicholas talks about his career - traveling the world and the yearning to return back to the home island that he loves.It's a relaxed, eye-opening stroll that shows why this hotel group stands out - and how to make a career in hospitality.What We Discover- The Return-Guest Secret: Nicholas explains how 60% of guests come back for the average nine-night stay – it's all about that personal touch and island charm.- Tech That Frees the Team: From seamless check-ins to inventory systems, the tools that let staff spend more time hugging regulars and less on admin.- Madeira's Magic Touch: Why the island's natural beauty and PortoBay's family vibe create experiences you can't replicate anywhere else.- Santa Maria's secret spot: How the hotel creates energy and fuels 50% of the hotel as well as feeding its guestsNicholas reminded me why I love these spots: great tech is essential, but it's the people and the place that make you never want to leave. If you're planning a Madeira getaway, Santa Maria should be top of your list.Hoteliers' Voice is one of FeedSpot's top Hospitality Podcasts and is produced by Urban Podcasts.

Wine Barrels, Duomo Marble, and Florence: Paoletti Custom Guitars at NAMM 2026I've been away from Florence for 25 years. I didn't know there was a guitar company like this back home.At NAMM 2026, I found Filippo Martini from Paoletti Custom Guitars—a boutique manufacturer based in the heart of Tuscany, building instruments that are equal parts guitar and artwork.Paoletti does something no one else does: they build guitars from chestnut wood sourced from Italian wine barrels. The material offers a wide harmonic spectrum, but it's difficult to work with. You need to know how to handle it. Founder Fabrizio Paoletti figured it out, and now every guitar they produce shows the natural grain—no opaque finishes, no hiding the wood.The craftsmanship runs deep. Bridges, pickguards, pickups—all made in-house. Necks carved from Canadian maple, roasted on-site. 99% of the process happens in Tuscany. As Filippo put it, "Kilometer zero." Zero miles. Everything local except the screws.Their model is 100% custom. You don't buy a Paoletti off the rack. You tell them your style, your sound, the genre you play. They build around your vision while keeping the Italian essence intact—chestnut wood, Italian-made components, tailored to your idea.But what stopped me cold was the Duomo collection.Eight individual guitars, each hand-engraved by Fabrizio Paoletti himself. Three years of work. The subject: Florence's cathedral—the Duomo di Santa Maria del Fiore.This isn't just decoration. Paoletti secured an official partnership with the Opera del Duomo, the authority that oversees the cathedral. The back of each guitar reproduces the marble floor pattern from inside the Duomo. And when the collection is complete this October, every guitar will contain an actual piece of marble from the cathedral.I got shivers standing there.This is what happens when guitar making meets Italian heritage. It's not about specs or market positioning. It's about place, history, and craft passed down through generations.Filippo invited me to visit the workshop in Florence when I return in April. I'm going. I want to see where this happens—where wine barrel wood becomes an instrument, where cathedral marble gets embedded into a guitar body, where a team of artisans builds one-of-one pieces for players around the world.Florence is known for many things. Leather. Art. Architecture. The Renaissance itself. Now I know it's also home to some of the most distinctive guitars being made anywhere.Paoletti proves that boutique doesn't mean small ambitions. They're partnering with galleries in Dubai, working with the Duomo authorities, and bringing Florence to NAMM.Not bad for a company I didn't even know existed until I walked the show floor and heard an Italian accent.Sometimes you find home in unexpected places.Marco Ciappelli interviews Filippo Martini from Paoletti Custom Guitars at NAMM 2026 for ITSPmagazine.Part of ITSPmagazine's On Location Coverage at NAMM 2026.

Parliamo di Hamnet di Chloe Zhao, Le cose non dette di Muccino con Accorsi, Leon e Santamaria e Send Help di Raimi.Stanze di Cinema è la trasmissione di Ciao Como Radio dedicata a cinema, cultura e spettacoli.A cura di Marco Albanese, Carlo Cairoli e Daniele Valsecchi.

Un hombre observa desde la ventana de un palazzo veneciano como cómo Santa Maria della Salute se derrumba y se sumerge entre los canales. Pronto, sabrá que no es el único lugar del mundo donde ocurren fenómenos extraños. Dentro del palacio, construido a mediados del siglo XVI también se registran sucesos inexplicables incluso para el hombre que mira por la ventana y tiene un don, conocer lo que pasó en un lugar concreto en el pasado. Este es el punto de partida de Arca, la historia en la que Ricardo Menéndez Salmón explora el terror, la distopía, la novela negra… pero siempre desde una óptica distintas y un filtro onírico. Hoy recibidmos en la torre de babel a Ricardo Menéndez Salmón. Y nos remontamos 250 años atrás para encontrar la primera referencia documental al uso del boj en el Sobrarbe. Cucharas, tenedores y otros útiles de cocina pero también objetos decorativos, se han producido, utilizado y preservado durante generaciones, porque si algo tiene el boj, además de la belleza y la utilidad, es que es eterno. Marta Puyol y Paco Bolea presentan “La artesanía del boj en Sobrarbe”, una monografía en la que exploran el trabajo de artesanos durante siglos y la posibilidad que este material ofrece en el presente y el futuro.

Carnevale is just around the corner, so let's talk about it! When is it? What is it? Well, that all depends on where you are. In Venice, Carnevale means Venetian masks, costumes, and comedy. Near Turin in Ivrea, it means historical, and very sticky, orange fights (yep, the citrus fruit). Wherever you are, Carnevale means festive food and a party.

Children as young as 12 can legally work on California's farms, picking strawberries and pruning blueberry bushes along with a host of other physically demanding jobs. Pulitzer prize-winning journalist Robert J. Lopez spoke with 61 children who work in the fields of the Salinas, Santa Maria, San Joaquin and Pajaro valleys. They described unsafe and unsanitary conditions, extreme heat — and a fear of speaking up, because they can't afford to lose their jobs. Lopez reports that in California, “enforcement of child labor laws has been inconsistent, the number of workplace safety inspections and citations issued to employers have dropped and repeat offenders were not fined for hundreds of violations of pesticide safety laws.” He joins us to share his reporting, and how the state is responding to it. Guests: Erica Diaz-Cervantes, senior policy advocate, Central Coast Alliance United for a Sustainable Economy (CAUSE) - an organization committed to social, economic, and environmental justice for working-class and immigrant communities in California's Central Coast; former underage farmworker Robert J. Lopez, Pulitzer prize-winning independent journalist, and fellow at the McGraw Center for Business Journalism; his reporting is titled “California's child farmworkers: Exhausted, underpaid and toiling in toxic fields” and “Lax oversight, few inspections leave child farmworkers exposed to toxic pesticides” Learn more about your ad choices.

A veces corremos el riesgo de ver siempre a María “atareada”: cuidando al Niño, buscándolo en el Templo, en las bodas de Caná… pero quizá reparamos poco en la María “interior”, que guardaba y ponderaba las cosas en su corazón. Aprendamos a hacerlo nosotros, a través de incursionar en su corazón ante cada uno de los misterios de su Hijo. La Señora de los brazos vacíos, señora del Adviento, será nuestra maestra para recibir a Jesús.

"Upon first hearing the Santa Maria field recording, I felt a strong sense of place. It was as if I were right there in Rome. I cut a section of the field recording and used the priest's words and the loudest plainchant singing to compose a story song. To create a character and add atmosphere, I added a short recording of my own footsteps walking. The song unfolds: a curious traveler; what she discovers and what she takes with her.  "As far as instrumentation, I knew I wanted to use Mandy, my mandolin, to honor Italy. Guitars, percussion, a synth choir of "Ah-Ah", and a walking rhythm help define one night in Rome at closing time." Santa Maria basilica in Rome reimagined by Anna Tynsky. 

The sound of religious singing in the Basilica di Santa Maria in Rome. A calm evening in February before the Basilica shuts its doors for the night, I wandered into the near-empty church to record the soothing sounds of religious hymns that seeped into the dimly lit streets of Rome.  Recorded by Andrew Ramsey.

California's Crossroads: John Duarte Talks Leadership, Agriculture, and the Future of the Golden State On a special Thanksgiving edition of the AgNet News Hour, host Nick Papagni, “The Ag Meter,” sat down with John Duarte—farmer, nursery leader, and former congressman—for a candid discussion about California's political climate, agricultural innovation, and the future of farming families across the state. The conversation, replayed as a “best of” segment, highlighted Duarte's belief that California is on the verge of a major shift—one driven by common sense, economic revitalization, and a renewed respect for the agricultural backbone of the state. A Call for Common Sense Leadership in California When asked whether California can “switch and get back to common sense,” Duarte didn't hesitate. Yes, it can. He emphasized that meaningful change is on the horizon, largely driven by everyday Californians who are tired of policies that push families, businesses, and young people out of the state. Duarte voiced strong support for candidates like Chad Blanco and Steve Hilton, stressing that whoever emerges from the primary will have his full backing. He believes the 2026 gubernatorial race will center around one theme: California is being left behind, even as the rest of the country surges ahead economically and environmentally. According to Duarte, America is already showing signs of powerful economic growth. Environmental progress and economic success don't have to be mutually exclusive, he argues. In his view, California's current policies have unnecessarily sacrificed jobs, infrastructure, and quality of life in the name of environmentalism—often without meaningful environmental gains to show for it. Meanwhile, families across the state are watching their children move to places like Tennessee, Georgia, and Oklahoma for opportunities California can no longer offer. Duarte believes that this exodus will eventually create enough pressure to push California toward more practical, future-focused leadership. Infrastructure, Water, and the High-Speed Rail Debate Duarte didn't hold back when discussing the state's long-criticized bullet train project—calling it the “bullet to the head train.” He contrasted the billions invested into the rail line with the massive impact that same funding could have had on drinking water systems, treatment facilities, and rural infrastructure. During his time in Congress, he said, the federal government poured $4 billion into the project. At even modest estimates, that money could have built dozens—if not hundreds—of essential water projects across California's farm-dependent regions. For Duarte, this is the clearest example of a state government that prioritizes symbolism over solutions. An “abundance-oriented society,” he argues, invests in the infrastructure that improves real lives: water storage, treatment, delivery, and the systems that keep agriculture thriving. He draws a distinction between what he calls the “lords of scarcity”—coastal elites who push restrictive policies—and the “champions of abundance”—farmers, energy producers, and working people who generate the food, power, and materials society depends on. And Duarte is clear: the champions of abundance are about to kick butt in California. A Conversation Between Colleagues and Friends After wrapping the interview, Papagni and co-host Lorrie Boyer reflected on their conversation with Duarte. Boyer praised him for his clarity and willingness to elaborate on complex issues—something listeners appreciate. Papagni agreed, adding that the Duarte family itself is remarkable. John's wife, Alexandra Duarte, is now running for office, continuing the family's commitment to public service and agricultural advocacy. Papagni highlighted John Duarte's accomplishments in the nursery industry, where he helped refine varieties of almond trees, table grapes, and trellis systems. Boyer wondered how someone even gets started in such an industry; Papagni explained that Duarte entered the nursery world in the 1990s and has spent decades experimenting, innovating, and anticipating the needs of future growers. One example: Duarte's ambition to bring avocado production to California's Central Valley—a bold move that could extend the state's avocado season and reshape a key market dominated by Southern California growers. Both hosts emphasized that agriculture is one of the most technologically advanced, forward-thinking industries in the world. Duarte's continual experimentation—sometimes successful, sometimes not—is part of what makes him and his nursery widely respected. Thanksgiving Reflections and the Farming Lifestyle As the show transitioned into its Thanksgiving morning segment, Papagni and Boyer shifted into a warm, lighthearted conversation about holiday traditions, cooking turkey, and the simple joys of family time. Papagni pictured farmers out checking their orchards and fields early in the day before heading home to celebrate—a familiar rhythm for agricultural families. Their playful banter ranged from turkey recipes to brisket, to the famous Santa Maria tri-tip, to the challenge of feeding large groups with slow-cooked meats. It provided a relatable, personal counterbalance to the more serious political discussions earlier in the program. The hosts closed by previewing an upcoming “best of” interview with Stuart Woolf, a well-known Westside Fresno grower who is experimenting with agave as a low-water crop that could transform the region into an agave—and potentially tequila—hub.

La Renaissance, ce renouveau artistique, intellectuel et scientifique qui transforma l'Europe à partir du XVe siècle, ne naquit pas par hasard à Florence. Cette cité toscane réunissait alors des conditions politiques, économiques et culturelles uniques qui en firent le berceau d'un mouvement sans équivalent dans l'histoire occidentale.D'abord, Florence était une république riche et indépendante. Sa prospérité reposait sur le commerce et surtout sur la banque. La puissante famille Médicis, à la tête d'un empire financier, finançait non seulement les États d'Europe, mais aussi les artistes, les architectes et les penseurs. Cosme de Médicis puis Laurent le Magnifique comprirent que la gloire artistique pouvait servir la gloire politique. En soutenant des figures comme Botticelli, Léonard de Vinci ou Michel-Ange, ils firent de Florence une vitrine éclatante de leur influence et un centre culturel de premier plan.La structure politique de la cité joua aussi un rôle majeur. Florence n'était pas une monarchie mais une république oligarchique, où la liberté de pensée et le débat intellectuel avaient plus de place qu'ailleurs. Les humanistes florentins, inspirés par la redécouverte des textes grecs et latins, replacèrent l'homme au centre de la réflexion — une rupture avec la vision médiévale dominée par la religion. Des penseurs comme Marsile Ficin ou Pic de la Mirandole défendirent l'idée d'un être humain libre, doué de raison et capable de s'élever par le savoir.Florence bénéficiait aussi d'un héritage artistique exceptionnel. La proximité avec les ruines romaines, la maîtrise artisanale des ateliers et la tradition gothique italienne fournirent une base solide à l'innovation. Les artistes florentins expérimentèrent de nouvelles techniques : la perspective, la peinture à l'huile, l'étude du corps humain. Brunelleschi révolutionna l'architecture avec la coupole de Santa Maria del Fiore, symbole éclatant du génie florentin.Enfin, la concurrence entre les cités italiennes – Venise, Milan, Rome – stimula l'émulation. Chaque ville voulait attirer les meilleurs artistes pour affirmer sa puissance. Mais Florence garda une avance intellectuelle : elle ne se contenta pas de produire des œuvres, elle inventa une nouvelle manière de penser l'art et le savoir.Ainsi, la Renaissance florentine fut bien plus qu'une explosion de beauté : elle fut le fruit d'une société ouverte, prospère et avide de connaissance, où l'art devint le miroir d'une nouvelle idée de l'homme et du monde.

God's Existence: Truth or Fiction? the Answer Revealed by Gary R. Lindberg Garyrlindberg.com https://www.amazon.com/Gods-Existence-Fiction-Answer-Revealed/dp/1648042732 God's Existence: Truth or Fiction? The Answer Revealed By: Gary R. Lindberg Studying the existence of God, Lindberg takes a different approach by investigating science as well as Christian research. Lindberg's unique approach suggests that both science and the Bible were created by God and as a result the two say the same thing. Lindberg's message will show that science itself proves the existence of God because of the evidence presented. About the Author Born in Minneapolis, Minnesota, the author's parents moved just before his seventh birthday to Santa Maria, California. There he grew up and attended grade schools up through high school. The author is a graduate of the University of California, Berkeley with a degree in U. S. History. Then he volunteered to join the Peace Corps for two and a half years during which he taught primary school students and teachers various techniques in a trial school gardens program in the Ivory Coast which is located in West Africa between Liberia and Ghana. He became fluent in French during that time. After his Peace Corps service, he toured Europe and primarily visited Italy, Germany (including East Berlin then under Communist control), France, England, and the Netherlands. Since he was drafted, he volunteered for the Navy in which he served for four years. Next, he went to San Francisco State University where he earned his Master of Business Administration (MBA) degree with a concentration in Management and Personnel. After that he began his 43-year career as a Human Resources professional for a number of major companies including National Gypsum, Celotex, McCormick (spices), Del Monte, Quebecor Printing, and Micro Lithography, Inc.
