Die Weltlage ist immer noch bescheiden. Dazu das Wetter: seit Tagen, nein, seit Wochen eine mehr oder weniger trübe, kalte, schlecht gelaunte Nebelsuppe. Können uns Wettspiele, olympische Winterspiele ablenken?

Il consigliere regionale scledense Carlo Cunegato torna sull'elettrificazione della tratta ferroviaria Vicenza-Schio e denuncia che i fondi stanziati rischiano di essere dirottati su un'altra provincia. “Da 30 anni il vicentino attende l'elettrificazione della Vicenza-Schio c'è il serio rischio che i fondi vengano dirottati sulla Cerea-Isola della Scala, che ha un terzo dei passeggeri”.
Se sei costantemente infelice perché misuri il tuo valore sui social media o sui successi altrui, sei intrappolato nel Paradosso Tossico della Scala Sociale.
Verdis Anti-Oper: „Macbeth“ hat keine Hits, keine Helden und erzählt keine Liebesgeschichte. Stattdessen folgen wir einem Polit-Promi-Paar, das seine Kinderlosigkeit mit Karriere kompensiert – und dabei über Leichen geht … Von Nick-Martin Sternitzke.
Bei Kulturbegeisterten und Opernfans steht sie häufig ganz weit oben auf der Bucketlist: einmal eine Vorstellung in der legendären Mailänder Scala besuchen. Hier wurden Weltkarrieren gestartet und große Opernstars von der Bühne gepfiffen.
It's almost Family Day here in British Columbia, and to celebrate, we've got a tenuously connected episode theme! By request, we listen to "Christmas Must Be Tonight" as performed by SCALA and Kolacny Brothers, a song about the son of a carpenter. Then we pair it with "Let's Make a Baby King" by Wynnona Judd, a song about that same guy and also his mom and also his cousin, and also maybe the concept of an infant-based form of government. The ranking music in this episode is "Nothing But a Child" by Steve Earle. Thank you to Liam for requesting this version of "Christmas Must Be Tonight"!
Come riconocsere la modalità maggiore? Attraverso l'ascolto di brani che sono certamente nel tuo universo sonoro da sempre. Partiamo da Fra Martino Campanaro, un pezzo che suona infanzia pura, e da La donna è mobile, dal III atto del Rigoletto di Verdi, un manifesto all'escalamazione. Ti faccio sentire tutti i brani che suonano maggiore anche a chi non ha una formazione musicale (tranne quella del flauto dolce della scuola media) e sono già nella tua memoria acustica soono utili per costruire una competenza, sistematizzando ciò che già sai. Io stessa non sono musicista e il mio obiettivo non è quello di darti definizioni tecniche e tecnicismi: non è la mia materia, e forse on userei neppure i termini corretti. Voglio di fornirti gli strumenti per capire, per sentire. E far riferimento a ciò che già conosci è un ottimo sistema per convertire in conoscenza una esperienza.Continuiamo con un esempio pop internazionale: Don't worry be happy di Bobby McFerrin. Un tormentone! La modalità maggiore è un sorriso sonoro, e non si identifica con un genere musicale specifico. Un sorriso sonoro, cheben si sposa con questo "Non ti preoccupare e sii felice"!Ecco altri brani del repertorio della musica classica che non puoi non conoscere: L'inno alla gioia di Ludwig van Beethoven, che è diventato l'inno europeo. Gioia dichiarata, costruita tutta in maggiore. Serenata Notturna di Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, un brano di cui forse non conosciamo tutti quanti il titolo ma che è fa parte della nostra educaizone sonora. Trasparente, luminoso, immediatamente leggibile: immagina i colori che puoi vedere in una bella giornata di sole, senza nuvole, con un bel cielo terso. Il maggiore come chiarezza mentale. Questi due brani ci chiariscono che il maggiore non è “felicità sciocca o infantile”, come poteva essere Fra Martino Campanaro, ma apertura, sollievo. Altro grande “classico” che è impossibile non conoscere: Let it be dei Beatles La velocità più lenta e calma, ci mostra che il Maggiore può essere anche calmo, fiducioso e consolatorio, non è necessariamente euforia con quattro punti sclamativi. E la colonna sonora del mitico film “Mago di Oz” Over the Rainbow. Chi non lo conosce? Magari non hai visto il film, ma questo brano lo hai ascoltato di certo.Interessante perché parte con una piccola tensione emozionale, ma la percezione del maggiore resta luminosa, desiderante. Il maggiore non è di per se stesso “allegria obbligatoria”: non è una emozione stereotipata ma è espansione, orizzonte, tono aperto, giornata di sole e cielo azzurro. Se facciamo una analisi razionale, percettiva, possiamo trovare alcune caratteristiche musicali che possono motivare l'emozionalità che il maggiore comunica,di apertura: - Le distanze tra i suoni creano sensazione di ampiezza, non ci sono note troppo vicine fra loro che causino incertezza.- Non genera tensioni emotive: è come stare in una stanza luminosa con le finestre aperte, o in una giornata con clima sereno. Non sei per forza felice. Però respiri meglio, ti senti meglio. Il maggiore permette apertura, distensione. Gli esempi che ho usato non sono appartengono ad un repertorio universale assoluto, ma sono una porta di accesso alla comprensione del maggiore per chi come noi è cresciuto dentro un universo sonoro occidentale o occidentalizzato.In altre culture magari non li conoscono quanto li conosciamo noi, che li abbiamo sentiti moltissime volte. Ma la sensazione che producono, quella apertura, quella stabilità, quella mancanza di attrito, mancanza di incertezze, è qualcosa che molti esseri umani anche di culture molto differenti dal punto di vista musicale riconoscono, anche se la chiamano in modo diverso. Ma non ci interessano i nomi!Sono Sabina Todaro, mi occupo di flamenco e danze e musiche del mondo arabo dal 1985 e insegno baile flamenco a Milano al Mosaico Danza dal 1990 e un lavoro sulla espressione delle emozioni attraverso danze e musiche arabe, che ho chiamato Lyrical Arab Dance. Sono appassionatissima di neuroscienze, psicologia, storia della Musica, espressività... e sono secchiona abbastanza da capire che dietro ad ogni cosa c'è un modo meraviglioso che possiamo esplorare e che possiamo sfruttare (o meglio... disfrutar, godere) al meglio.Perché nel flamenco il maggiore è raro? Nella sua natura, il flamenco non serve a rassicurare ma a raccontare le emozioni per come sono. C'è sempre una specie di tensione non risolta, una sorta di sopracciglio alzato, di dubbio esistenziale, come succede nella vita! Infatti ciò che domina musicalmente nel flamenco è il modo flamenco, che per la teoria musicale è assimilabile alla scala andalusa, riconoscibile con la cadenza andalusa, che ha ombre, ambiguità, dualismo, sensazione di non tutto è risolto, siamo di passaggio in questa emozione. Ne parleremo ancora in altri podcast.Dire "tutto ok" non è la tipica espressione del flamenco, ma l'uso del maggiore in questo contesto culturale indica che ci sono spazi e possibilità, forse anche nonostante tutto. Non si tratta solo di una parentesi felice, leggera e spensierata. In realtà sono momenti di affermazione e di presenza. Non è un caso che i palos che si svolgano prevalentemente sulla tonalità maggiore sono pochi: parecchie Cantinas, Guajiras, Colombianas, Garrotin, Buleria de Cadiz. FIne dell'elenco! In altri palos ci sono passaggi alla tonalità maggiore, mescolati ad altre tonalità. Anche dopo aver parlato di altre emozioni, il flamenco ha sempre un pizzico di dubbio, di malinconia. Il maggiore, quando entra alla fine di una contesto più oscuro, è continuare a stare in piedi, dritti e fieri dopo aver attraversato qualcosa di duro. Come dopo una siguiriya, quando arriva cabales. Quando il maggiore entra nel flamenco illumina senza cancellare totalmente l'ombra. In qualche modo fa capire che la luce ha senso solo se sai da dove viene. Questa è una vera e propria alfabetizzazione percettiva, non una teoria. Ti insegna a sfruttare competenze e conoscenze che hai già, e semplicemente ti aiuta a riunirle sotto un nome, a dar loro una casa. L'esperienza già ce l'hai! E quando le cose assumono un nome si crea nel nostro cervello una categoria, nella quale confluiscono le informazioni che abbiamo, e che ci aiuta a capire e ricordare.
Buon primo lunedì di febbraio! Oggi è il giorno della Marmotta ma non ne parleremo perché sembrerebbe di essere nel giorno della Marmotta. Milano Cortina, ci siamo quasi. Jovanotti è diventato Commendatore mentre Diodato Cavaliere. Il baritono Luca Salsi ci racconta cosa canterà stasera alla Scala davanti a Mattarella. Ospite in studio Claudio Cerasa.
Elections are one of the most complex systems we rely on. They're decentralized, human-driven, time-critical, and under constant scrutiny. And while hundreds of decisions are made under the surface, most of us only see the final result.In this episode of Problem Solved, IISE's Keith Albertson sits down with Dr. Natalie Scala of Towson University to explore the systems behind the ballot and how industrial and systems engineers are strengthening elections.From polling places to poll worker support, supply chains and trust in outcomes, Dr. Scala explains how classic ISE tools are being applied to one of the most consequential systems in society all while remaining nonpartisan.This conversation goes beyond politics and into process, people, and design.https://www.drnataliescala.com/Natalie M.

Als Sopranistin tritt sie in den großen Häusern der Welt auf, singt bei den bedeutendsten Festivals, hat Hauptrollen an der Bayerischen Staatsoper, dem Théâtre des Champs-Élysées, der Mailänder Scala, der Hamburgischen Staatsoper oder der Wiener Staatsoper gesungen. Ihr jüngstes Album "Jewish Vienna" hat sie zusammen mit Daniel Grossmann und dem Jewish Chamber Orchestra Munich bedeutenden Komponistinnen und Komponisten des 20. Jahrhunderts gewidmet. Darunter sind auch weniger bekannte Namen wie Josefine Winter, die 1943 von den Nazis ermordet wurde. Bevor Chen Reiss Ende März zusammen mit Sharon Kam und Yael Kareth mit Schumann, Mahler und Spohr in der Hamburger Elbphilharmonie auftritt, ist sie zu Gast bei NDR Kultur à la carte. Kurz vor dem 27. Januar, dem Tag des Gedenkens an die Opfer des Holocaust, spricht die israelische Sopranistin mit Friederike Westerhaus über Tradition und zeitgenössische Klänge in Musik und aktueller Gegenwart.
Riccardo Muti konzentriert sich mit größter Leidenschaft auf das Wesentliche der Musik. Dafür lässt er auch schon mal eine Opernproduktion platzen, wenn ihn die Inszenierung nicht überzeugt. 20 Jahre lang wirkt er als Musikdirektor an der Mailänder Scala, berühmt vor allem für die Genialität seiner Verdi- und Mozart- Interpretationen, in einem peniblen Ausloten der Beziehung zwischen Text und Musik.
Strategic Technology Consultation Services This episode of The Modern .NET Show is supported, in part, by RJJ Software's Strategic Technology Consultation Services. If you're an SME (Small to Medium Enterprise) leader wondering why your technology investments aren't delivering, or you're facing critical decisions about AI, modernization, or team productivity, let's talk. Show Notes "Another thing which I also observed is that there is some benefit to be able to run your load test in your native... using your native platform, libraries, protocol access; those type of things. Because in our case, for example, we use Orleans and it's a proprietary protocol which doesn't exist in in Java in Scala language. The same about, almost the same, was about Signal R: Microsoft released SignalR for Java, but the quality of this library was different."— Anton Moldovan Hey everyone, and welcome back to The Modern .NET Show; the premier .NET podcast, focusing entirely on the knowledge, tools, and frameworks that all .NET developers should have in their toolbox. I'm your host Jamie Taylor, bringing you conversations with the brightest minds in the .NET ecosystem. Today, we're joined by Anton Moldovan to talk about load testing, advice for testing strategies, and how NBomber can help you to load test your applications. Are you sure that your application can handle 4 million users at once? Better load test it before you start boasting. "We call this type of test, like, "user journey." Like, end-to-end simulating user journey across entire applications. So end-to-end, end-to-end flow, end-to-end tests. But this type of test they they have some downsides."— Anton Moldovan Along the way, we talked the different types of testing involved in getting your application for production, the many different ways that NBomber (or other load testing suites) can help you prepare for that, and Anton helps us understand a little more about functional programming. Before we jump in, a quick reminder: if The Modern .NET Show has become part of your learning journey, please consider supporting us through Patreon or Buy Me A Coffee.

Pour cette première MISE AU POINT de l'année 2026, j'ai le plaisir de donner la parole à la comédienne Constance Dollé. Après une maîtrise de philosophie, elle débute sa carrière sur les planches du théâtre de la Porte Saint Martin aux côtés de Marina Hands avant de poursuivre au théâtre de l'Atelier avec Elsa Zylberstein, Irène Jacob ou encore Camille Japy. Parallèlement, elle joue pour la télévision avec Richard Bohringer, et au cinéma sous la férule de Catherine Frot, Michel Boujenah et André Téchiné. On la connait notamment pour son rôle de résistante dans la série Un village français, ainsi que pour sa prestation remarquée dans Girls and Boys de Dennis Kelly, qui lui vaut le Molière Seule en scène en 2019.On la retrouve aujourd'hui dans Croire aux fauves, à l'affiche jusqu'au 12 avril à la Scala, à Paris. À travers cette adaptation du roman magistral de Nastassja Martin, Constance entremêle l'expérience de l'anthropologue à ses propres questionnements de comédienne pour offrir un spectacle immersif qui explore nos capacités de réconciliation, de reconstruction et de sublimation. Quand on subit la morsure d'un ours au visage, que subsiste-t-il de soi ? Qui devient-on ?Hébergé par Ausha. Visitez ausha.co/politique-de-confidentialite pour plus d'informations.
The musical mind of Barry Adamson was so cinematic he created soundtracks for movies that didn't exist. Until they did. He starts out with the essential post-punk band Magazine, who released some of the best albums the genre had to offer. He was restless though and after time in Visage and Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds, he committed the music in his head to tape with the solo album, Moss Side Story and never stopped. Barry's music has always had a heavy cinematic quality which lead to him eventually scoring films, of course. Last week he released his new album, SCALA!, which is the soundtrack to the new documentary on the legendary art-house cinema in London which was a gathering place for him and artsy people like him for decades. We get to hear stories about all the stops along the way in his musical journey, working with people like Nick Cave and Midge Ure, growing up bi-racial, and more. Enjoy!

"Scala" It's hard to explain everything Barry Adamson did before he was thirty. By then, his resume' was so packed with highlights it was hard to believe there was room for more. But there was. Like, a lot more. Let me explain. The Manchester-born Barry Adamson got his start in music in the late '70s by playing bass for Magazine, a band led by ex-Buzzcock Howard DeVoto. Adamson, who was briefly in the Buzzcocks himself, went on to play with Visage and Luxuria before joining Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds. Adamson played on legendary Cave albums like From Her To Eternity and Kicking Against The Pricks and from there, he stepped into the Iggy Pop fold and toured with Mr. Pop in '87. By then, Adamson was close to thirty and in many ways, that's the point where he really started to spread his musical wings, realizing he liked being on his own than being one of the guys in a band. From there, Adamson started to explore electronic and dub-fueled soundscapes and he moved effortlessly from strength to strength, releasing classic solo albums like Moss Side Story, the 1992 Mercury Prize nominated Soul Murder and his new one, La Scala. More on that in a minute. Over the course of his winning career, Adamson has played with The Birthday, Party, collaborated with everyone from Pulp's Jarvis Crocker to Billy McKenzie of the Associates, contributed to movie soundtracks like David Lynch's Lost Highway and done remixes for everyone from Depeche Mode to The Jon Spencer Blues Explosion. His new album La Scala is the original score for the 2023 documentary Scala!!! Or, The Incredibly Strange Rise And Fall Of The World's Wildest Cinema. The film is a stirring and rousing homage to the legendary London arthouse movie theatre and Adamson's inventive score uses elements of jazz, funk and post-punk noir to detail the rise and fall of a building that meant a lot of people whose lives were saved by the freedom and spirit of life in the counterculture. www.barryadamson.com www.bombshellradio.com (http://www.bombshellradio.com) www.stereoembersmagazine.com (http://www.stereoembersmagazine.com) www.alexgreenbooks.com (http://www.alexgreenbooks.com) Stereo Embers IG + Bluesky: @emberspodcast Email: editor@stereoembersmagazine.com

SHOW1-8-2026THE SHOW BEGINS IN DOUBTS ABOUT THE SARCASTIC INVENTION, THE DON-ROE DICTRINE..SPHERES OF INFLUENCE AND THE RETURN OF THE MONROE DOCTRINE Colleague Anatol Lieven, Quincy Institute for Responsible Statecraft. Anatol Lieven argues that "spheres of influence" have returned, with the US reasserting the Monroe Doctrine in the Western Hemisphere and threatening to seize Greenland. Unlike traditional alliances, this approach risks alienating fellow democracies. Lieven contrasts this with Russia's territorial ambitions in the former Soviet Union and China's historic regional goals. NUMBER 1COLD WAR TACTICS: THE SEIZURE OF A RUSSIAN TANKER Colleague Anatol Lieven, Quincy Institute for Responsible Statecraft. Lieven discusses the US Navy's detention of a Russian-flagged ship in the North Atlantic, viewing it as a dangerous escalation akin to piracy. This move humiliates Moscow and aims to control oil supplies. Lieven warns that if European nations mimic these seizures, Russia may retaliate violently, risking a direct war. NUMBER 2THE SUPREME COURT AND THE MYTH OF THE UNITARY EXECUTIVE Colleague Richard Epstein, Civitas Institute. Richard Epstein challenges the view that the Roberts Court blindly supports a "unitary executive." He argues the Court is correctly questioning the constitutionality of independent administrative agencies, like the FTC, which insulate officials from presidential removal. Epstein contends that relying on case counts ignores the specific legal merits regarding separation of powers. NUMBER 3TRUMP V. ILLINOIS: LIMITING PRESIDENTIAL POWER OVER THE NATIONAL GUARD Colleague Richard Epstein, Civitas Institute. Discussing a recent unsigned Supreme Court order, Epstein notes the Court upheld a decision preventing the President from deploying the National Guard without a governor's consent. This ruling contradicts claims of judicial bias toward the executive, affirming that the President cannot simply declare an emergency to override state sovereignty. NUMBER 4ONE YEAR LATER: ANGER AND STAGNATION AFTER THE PALISADES FIRE Colleague Jeff Bliss, Pacific Watch. A year after the Palisades fires, Jeff Bliss reports that residents remain angry over government inaction. Rebuilding is stalled by the Coastal Commission's strict regulations, and fuel loads in canyons remain high due to environmental restrictions on brush clearing. The fires, driven by Santa Ana winds, highlight systemic bureaucratic failures in Los Angeles. NUMBER 5#SCALAREPORT: AI AND ROBOTICS DOMINATE CES Colleague Chris Riegel, CEO of Scala.com. Reporting from CES, Chris Riegel highlights the dominance of AI and robotics, from household droids to military applications. While the tech sector booms with massive infrastructure spending, Riegel warns of a "K-shaped" economy where Main Street struggles with softening demand, masking the wealth concentrated in artificial intelligence and data centers. NUMBER 6LANCASTER COUNTY: AMISH SPENDING AND DATA CENTER GROWTH Colleague Jim McTague, Author and Former Barron's Editor. Jim McTague reports that the Lancaster County economy remains robust, evidenced by heavy Amish spending at Costco and thriving local businesses like Kegel's Produce. Despite some local protests, data centers are being built on old industrial sites. McTague sees no need for Fed rate cuts given the stable local economy. NUMBER 7THE NUCLEAR ESCROW: MANAGING PROLIFERATION AMONG ALLIES Colleague Henry Sokolski, Nonproliferation Policy Education Center. Henry Sokolski warns that allies like Poland, Turkey, and South Africaare considering nuclear weapons due to eroding trust in US guarantees. He proposes a "nuclear escrow" account: storing refurbished warheads in the US for allies to deploy only during crises, providing leverage without permanently stationing targets on foreign soil. NUMBER 8THE SIEGE OF 717 AND THE VOLCANO OF THERA Colleague Professor Ed Watts, Author of The Romans. In 717 AD, Arab forces besieged Constantinople but failed due to the city's massive walls and "Greek fire." Professor Watts explains that a subsequent volcanic eruption in Thera was interpreted as divine punishment for the empire's sins, leading to a spiritual crisis and the rise of iconoclasm to appease God. NUMBER 9THE STUPIDITY OF SUCCESSORS: MANUEL AND ANDRONICUS Colleague Professor Ed Watts, Author of The Romans. Manuel Komnenos favored grand gestures over systemic stability, weakening the Roman state. His successor, Andronicus, was a nihilistic sadist whose tyranny and family infighting destabilized the empire. Watts details how the refusal to punish rebellious family members created a culture of impunity that eventually led to a violent overthrow. NUMBER 10THE CRUSADES: FROM COOPERATION TO CONFLICT Colleague Professor Ed Watts, Author of The Romans. Relations between East and West collapsed during the Crusades. While the First Crusade cooperated with Rome, the Second and Third turned hostile, with Crusaders seizing territory rather than returning it. Watts notes that the theological schism of 1054 and cultural distrust entrenched this division, setting the stage for future betrayal. NUMBER 111204: THE SACK OF CONSTANTINOPLE AND THE END OF CONTINUITY Colleague Professor Ed Watts, Author of The Romans. The Fourth Crusade, diverted by Venetian debt, sacked Constantinople in 1204, burning the city to quell resistance. Watts argues this marked the true end of the ancient Roman state. The meritocratic system collapsed, and elites like Nicetas Choniates lost everything, severing the 2,000-year political continuity of the empire. NUMBER 12VENEZUELA: THE REGIME SURVIVES MADURO'S EXIT Colleague Mary Anastasia O'Grady, Wall Street Journal. Despite Maduro's removal, the Venezuelan regime remains intact under hardliners Delcy Rodriguez and Diosdado Cabello. Mary Anastasia O'Grady notes that repression continues, and European oil companies are hesitant to invest. The regime feigns cooperation to avoid US intervention, but genuine recovery is impossible without restoring the rule of law. NUMBER 13RUSSIA'S OIL CRISIS AND REGIONAL DEFICITS Colleague Michael Bernstam, Hoover Institution. Russiafaces a financial crisis as oil prices drop below $60 per barrel. Michael Bernstam explains that increased global supply forces Russia to sell at deep discounts to China and India, often below cost. This revenue loss prevents the Kremlinfrom paying soldiers, sparking severe regional budget deficits. NUMBER 14EUROPEAN FREEZE AND THE MYTH OF BOOTS ON THE GROUND Colleague Simon Constable, Journalist and Author. A deep freeze hits Southern Europe while commodity prices like copper rise. Simon Constable reports on the UK's bleak economic mood and dismisses the feasibility of British or French "boots on the ground" in Ukraine. He notes that depleted military manpower makes such guarantees declarative rather than substantial. NUMBER 15ARTEMIS 2 RISKS AND THE SEARCH FOR LIFE IN SPACE Colleague Bob Zimmerman, BehindtheBlack.com. Bob Zimmerman urges NASA to fly Artemis 2 unmanned due to unresolved Orion heat shield damage, arguing safety should trump beating China. He also dismisses concerns about lunar methane contamination and highlights a new study suggesting ice caps could allow liquid water lakes to exist on Mars. NUMBER 16
#SCALAREPORT: AI AND ROBOTICS DOMINATE CES Colleague Chris Riegel, CEO of Scala.com. Reporting from CES, Chris Riegel highlights the dominance of AI and robotics, from household droids to military applications. While the tech sector booms with massive infrastructure spending, Riegel warns of a "K-shaped" economy where Main Street struggles with softening demand, masking the wealth concentrated in artificial intelligence and data centers.

Den Namen Leyla Gencer kennen nur noch wenige, obwohl die Sopranistin oft in einem Atemzug mit Maria Callas genannt wurde. Beide hatten zur gleichen Zeit Engagements an der Mailänder Scala. Ihre Biografin erinnert sich.
Mit zwölf Jahren sieht sie Franco Zeffirellis «La Traviata» im Fernsehen. Tief beeindruckt beschliesst sie, Opernsängerin zu werden. Während des Studiums erleidet sie nach einer unsachgemässen Intubation ein Stimmbandödem. Sie lehnt eine Operation ab und wählt den Weg der langsamen Heilung. Während anderthalb Jahren spricht und singt sie kaum. 1995 debütiert Damrau als Eliza in «My Fair Lady» in Würzburg. Bald darauf erobert sie als Königin der Nacht in Mozarts «Zauberflöte» die grossen Bühnen - von Wien bis New York. Kritiker loben ihre Technik und Bühnenpräsenz. Damrau gilt als Diva ohne Allüren. Als sie 2013 als Violetta in Verdis «Traviata» an der Mailänder Scala auf der Bühne steht, ist ihr Mädchentraum wahr geworden. Die Süddeutsche Zeitung schreibt, Damrau habe die höchste Stufe des Operngesangs erreicht: die Callas Stufe. Wie die Mutter zweier Söhne Bühne und Familie vereint, warum die Königin der Nacht zu ihren Lieblingsrollen zählt und weshalb sie sich als Bühnentier sieht, erzählt Diana Damrau in «Musik für einen Gast» bei Simon Leu. Die Musiktitel: - Giuseppe Verdi: La Traviata: 1. Act, E'strano (Maria Callas / Coro Cetra / Orchestra Sinfonica di Torina de la Rai / Gabriele Santina, Leitung) - Edvard Grieg: «Morgenstimmung», aus Peer Gynt (Berliner Philharmoniker / Herbert von Karajan, Leitung) - Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart: «Der Hölle Rache kocht in meinem Herzen», Arie der Königin der Nacht, aus «Die Zauberflöte» (Edda Moser, Sopran / Bayerisches Staatsorchester München / Wolfgang Sawallisch, Leitung) - Michael Jackson: Thriller - Richard Strauss: «Die Zeit, die ist ein sonderbar Ding». Arie der Marschallin aus «Der Rosenkavalier» (Philharmonia Orchestra / Elisabeth Schwarzkopf, Sopran / Otto Edelmann, Bass / Herbert von Karajan, Leitung) Der Einspieler: Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart: «O zittre nicht, mein lieber Sohn - Zum Leiden bin ich auserkoren». Rezitativ und Arie der Königin der Nacht, aus «Die Zauberflöte» (Diana Damrau, Sopran / Cercle de l'Harmonie / Jérémie Rhorer, Leitung)
I vårt mest meritokratiska avsnitt hittills går vi – live från Scala! – igenom den svenske stormaktsofficeren Per Stålhammars väg från förkrossande fattigdom till att bli adlig. Medel för ovannämnda klättring: värjan. Obs! Är du Patreon får du lite extra i form av en hemlig gäst och en kort intervju om vår nya bok. Mattis tar sig an mannen själv och hur denne från tidiga tonåren till post pensionsålder tjänstgjorde i den svenska stormaktsarmén.

BONUS: Swimming in Tech Debt — Practical Techniques to Keep Your Team from Drowning in Its Codebase In this fascinating conversation, veteran software engineer and author Lou Franco shares hard-won lessons from decades at startups, Trello, and Atlassian. We explore his book "Swimming in Tech Debt," diving deep into the 8 Questions framework for evaluating tech debt decisions, personal practices that compound over time, team-level strategies for systematic improvement, and leadership approaches that balance velocity with sustainability. Lou reveals why tech debt is often the result of success, how to navigate the spectrum between ignoring debt and rewriting too much, and practical techniques individuals, teams, and leaders can use starting today. The Exit Interview That Changed Everything "We didn't go slower by paying tech debt. We went actually faster, because we were constantly in that code, and now we didn't have to run into problems." — Lou Franco Lou's understanding of tech debt crystallized during an exit interview at Atalasoft, a small startup where he'd spent years. An engineer leaving the company confronted him: "You guys don't care about tech debt." Lou had been focused on shipping features, believing that paying tech debt would slow them down. But this engineer told a different story — when they finally fixed their terrible build and installation system, they actually sped up. They were constantly touching that code, and removing the friction made everything easier. This moment revealed a fundamental truth: tech debt isn't just about code quality or engineering pride. It's about velocity, momentum, and the ability to move fast sustainably. Lou carried this lesson through his career at Trello (where he learned the dangers of rewriting too much) and Atlassian (where he saw enterprise-scale tech debt management). These experiences became the foundation for "Swimming in Tech Debt." Tech Debt Is the Result of Success "Tech debt is often the result of success. Unsuccessful projects don't have tech debt." — Lou Franco This reframes the entire conversation about tech debt. Failed products don't accumulate debt — they disappear before it matters. Tech debt emerges when your code survives long enough to outlive its original assumptions, when your user base grows beyond initial expectations, when your team scales faster than your architecture anticipated. At Atalasoft, they built for 10 users and got 100. At Trello, mobile usage exploded beyond their web-first assumptions. Success creates tech debt by changing the context in which code operates. This means tech debt conversations should happen at different intensities depending on where you are in the product lifecycle. Early startups pursuing product-market fit should minimize tech debt investments — move fast, learn, potentially throw away the code. Growth-stage companies need balanced approaches. Mature products benefit significantly from tech debt investments because operational efficiency compounds over years. Understanding this lifecycle perspective helps teams make appropriate decisions rather than applying one-size-fits-all rules. The 8 Questions Framework for Tech Debt Decisions "Those 8 questions guide you to what you should do. If it's risky, has regressions, and you don't even know if it's gonna work, this is when you're gonna do a project spike." — Lou Franco Lou introduces a systematic framework for evaluating whether to pay tech debt, inspired by Bob Moesta's push-pull forces from product management. The 8 questions create a complete picture: Visibility — Will people outside the team understand what we're doing? Alignment — Does this match our engineering values and target architecture? Resistance — How hard is this code to work with right now? Volatility — How often do we touch this code? Regression Risk — What's the chance we'll introduce new problems? Project Size — How big is this to fix? Estimate Risk — How uncertain are we about the effort required? Outcome Uncertainty — How confident are we the fix will actually improve things? High volatility and high resistance with low regression risk? Pay the debt now. High regression risk with no tests? Write tests first, then reassess. Uncertain outcomes on a big project? Do a spike or proof of concept. The framework prevents both extremes — ignoring costly debt and undertaking risky rewrites without proper preparation. Personal Practices That Compound Daily "When I sit down at my desk, the first thing I do is I pay a little tech debt. I'm looking at code, I'm about to change it, do I even understand it? Am I having some kind of resistance to it? Put in a little helpful comment, maybe a little refactoring." — Lou Franco Lou shares personal habits that create compounding improvements over time. Start each coding session by paying a small amount of tech debt in the area you're about to work — add a clarifying comment, extract a confusing variable, improve a function name. This warms you up, reduces friction for your actual work, and leaves the code slightly better than you found it. The clean-as-you-go philosophy means tech debt never accumulates faster than you can manage it. But Lou's most powerful practice comes at the end of each session: mutation testing by hand. Before finishing for the day, deliberately break something — change a plus to minus, a less-than to less-than-or-equal. See if tests catch it. Often they don't, revealing gaps in test coverage. The key insight: don't fix it immediately. Leave that failing test as the bridge to tomorrow's coding session. It connects today's momentum to tomorrow's work, ensuring you always start with context and purpose rather than cold-starting each day. Mutation Testing: Breaking Things on Purpose "Before I'm done working on a coding session, I break something on purpose. I'll change a plus to a minus, a less than to a less than equals, and see if tests break. A lot of times tests don't break. Now you've found a problem in your test." — Lou Franco Manual mutation testing — deliberately breaking code to verify tests catch the break — reveals a critical gap in most test suites. You can have 100% code coverage and still have untested behavior. A line of code that's executed during tests isn't necessarily tested — the test might not actually verify what that line does. By changing operators, flipping booleans, or altering constants, you discover whether your tests protect against actual logic errors or just exercise code paths. Lou recommends doing this manually as part of your daily practice, but automated tools exist for systematic discovery: Stryker (for JavaScript, C#, Scala) and MutMut (for Python) can mutate your entire codebase and report which mutations survive uncaught. This isn't just about test quality — it's about understanding what your code actually does and building confidence that changes won't introduce subtle bugs. Team-Level Practices: Budgets, Backlogs, and Target Architecture "Create a target architecture document — where would we be if we started over today? Every PR is an opportunity to move slightly toward that target." — Lou Franco At the team level, Lou advocates for three interconnected practices. First, create a target architecture document that describes where you'd be if starting fresh today — not a detailed design, but architectural patterns, technology choices, and structural principles that represent current best practices. This isn't a rewrite plan; it's a North Star. Every pull request becomes an opportunity to move incrementally toward that target when touching relevant code. Second, establish a budget split between PM-led feature work and engineering-led tech debt work — perhaps 80/20 or whatever ratio fits your product lifecycle stage. This creates predictable capacity for tech debt without requiring constant negotiation. Third, hold quarterly tech debt backlog meetings separate from sprint planning. Treat this backlog like PMs treat product discovery — explore options, estimate impacts, prioritize based on the 8 Questions framework. Some items fit in sprints; others require dedicated engineers for a quarter or two. This systematic approach prevents tech debt from being perpetually deprioritized while avoiding the opposite extreme of engineers disappearing into six-month "improvement" projects with no visible progress. The Atlassian Five-Alarm Fire "The Atlassian CTO's 'five-alarm fire' — stopping all feature development to focus on reliability. I reduced sync errors by 75% during that initiative." — Lou Franco Lou shares a powerful example of leadership-driven tech debt management at scale. The Atlassian CTO called a "five-alarm fire" — halting all feature development across the company to focus exclusively on reliability and tech debt. This wasn't panic; it was strategic recognition that accumulated debt threatened the business. Lou worked on reducing sync errors, achieving a 75% reduction during this focused period. The initiative demonstrated several leadership principles: willingness to make hard calls that stop revenue-generating feature work, clear communication of why reliability matters strategically, trust that teams will use the time wisely, and commitment to see it through despite pressure to resume features. This level of intervention is rare and shouldn't be frequent, but it shows what's possible when leadership truly prioritizes tech debt. More commonly, leaders should express product lifecycle constraints (startup urgency vs. mature product stability), give teams autonomy to find appropriate projects within those constraints, and require accountability through visible metrics and dashboards that show progress. The Rewrite Trap: Why Big Rewrites Usually Fail "A system that took 10 years to write has implicit knowledge that can't be replicated in 6 months. I'm mostly gonna advocate for piecemeal migrations along the way, reducing the size of the problem over time." — Lou Franco Lou lived through Trello's iOS navigation rewrite — a classic example of throwing away working code to start fresh, only to discover all the edge cases, implicit behaviors, and user expectations baked into the "old" system. A codebase that evolved over several years contains implicit knowledge — user workflows, edge case handling, performance optimizations, and subtle behaviors that users rely on even if they never explicitly requested them. Attempting to rewrite this in six months inevitably misses critical details. Lou strongly advocates for piecemeal migrations instead. The Trello "Decaffeinate Project" exemplifies this approach — migrating from CoffeeScript to TypeScript incrementally, with public dashboards showing the percentage remaining, interoperable technologies allowing gradual transition, and the ability to pause or reverse if needed. Keep both systems running in parallel during migrations. Use runtime observability to verify new code behaves identically to old code. Reduce the problem size steadily over months rather than attempting big-bang replacements. The only exception: sometimes keeping parallel systems requires scaffolding that creates its own complexity, so evaluate whether piecemeal migration is actually simpler or if you're better off living with the current system. Making Tech Debt Visible Through Dashboards "Put up a dashboard, showing it happen. Make invisible internal improvements visible through metrics engineering leadership understands." — Lou Franco One of tech debt's biggest challenges is invisibility — non-technical stakeholders can't see the improvement from refactoring or test coverage. Lou learned to make tech debt work visible through dashboards and metrics. The Decaffeinate Project tracked percentage of CoffeeScript files remaining, providing a clear progress indicator anyone could understand. When reducing sync errors, Lou created dashboards showing error rates declining over time. These visualizations serve multiple purposes: they demonstrate value to leadership, create accountability for engineering teams, build momentum as progress becomes visible, and help teams celebrate wins that would otherwise go unnoticed. The key is choosing metrics that matter to the business — error rates, page load times, deployment frequency, mean time to recovery — rather than pure code quality metrics like cyclomatic complexity that don't translate outside engineering. Connect tech debt work to customer experience, reliability, or developer productivity in ways leadership can see and value. Onboarding as a Tech Debt Opportunity "Unit testing is a really great way to learn a system. It's like an executable specification that's helping you prove that you understand the system." — Lou Franco Lou identifies onboarding as an underutilized opportunity for tech debt reduction. When new engineers join, they need to learn the codebase. Rather than just reading code or shadowing, Lou suggests having them write unit tests in areas they're learning. This serves dual purposes: tests are executable specifications that prove understanding of system behavior, and they create safety nets in areas that likely lack coverage (otherwise, why would new engineers be confused by the code?). The new engineer gets hands-on learning, the team gets better test coverage, and everyone wins. This practice also surfaces confusing code — if new engineers struggle to understand what to test, that's a signal the code needs clarifying comments, better naming, or refactoring. Make onboarding a systematic tech debt reduction opportunity rather than passive knowledge transfer. Leadership's Role: Constraints, Autonomy, and Accountability "Leadership needs to express the constraints. Tell the team what you're feeling about tech debt at a high level, and what you think generally is the appropriate amount of time to be spent on it. Then give them autonomy." — Lou Franco Lou distills leadership's role in tech debt management to three elements. First, express constraints — communicate where you believe the product is in its lifecycle (early startup, rapid growth, mature cash cow) and what that means for tech debt tolerance. Are we pursuing product-market fit where code might be thrown away? Are we scaling a proven product where reliability matters? Are we maintaining a stable system where operational efficiency pays dividends? These constraints help teams make appropriate trade-offs. Second, give autonomy — once constraints are clear, trust teams to identify specific tech debt projects that fit those constraints. Engineers understand the codebase's pain points better than leaders do. Third, require accountability — teams must make their work visible through dashboards, metrics, and regular updates. Autonomy without accountability becomes invisible engineering projects that might not deliver value. Accountability without autonomy becomes micromanagement that wastes engineering judgment. The balance creates space for teams to make smart decisions while keeping leadership informed and confident in the investment. AI and the Future of Tech Debt "I really do AI-assisted software engineering. And by that, I mean I 100% review every single line of that code. I write the tests, and all the code is as I would have written it, it's just a lot faster. Developers are still responsible for it. Read the code." — Lou Franco Lou has a chapter about AI in his book, addressing the elephant in the room: will AI-generated code create massive tech debt? His answer is nuanced. AI can accelerate development tremendously if used correctly — Lou uses it extensively but reviews every single line, writes all tests himself, and ensures the code matches what he would have written manually. The problem emerges with "vibe coders" — non-developers using AI to generate code they don't understand, creating unmaintainable messes that become someone else's problem. Developers remain responsible for all code, regardless of how it's generated. This means you must read and understand AI-generated code, not blindly accept it. Lou also raises supply chain security concerns — dependencies can contain malicious code, and AI might introduce vulnerabilities developers miss. His recommendation: stay six months behind on dependency updates, let others discover the problems first, and consider separate sandboxed development machines to limit security exposure. AI is a powerful tool, but it doesn't eliminate the need for engineering judgment, testing discipline, or code review practices. The Style Guide Beyond Formatting "Have a style guide that goes beyond formatting to include target architecture. This is the kind of code we want to write going forward." — Lou Franco Lou advocates for style guides that extend beyond tabs-versus-spaces formatting rules to include architectural guidance. Document patterns you want to move toward: how should components be structured, what state management approaches do we prefer, how should we handle errors, what testing patterns should we follow? This creates a shared understanding of the target architecture without requiring a massive design document. When reviewing pull requests, teams can reference the style guide to explain why certain approaches align with where the codebase is headed versus perpetuating old patterns. This makes tech debt conversations less personal and more objective — it's not about criticizing someone's code, it's about aligning with team standards and strategic direction. The style guide becomes a living document that evolves as the team learns and technology changes, capturing collective wisdom about what good code looks like in your specific context.

Écoutez la suite de la vie de Maria Callas, racontée par Virginie Girod qui mêle sa voix aux archives Europe 1. La chanteuse a décroché un contrat à la prestigieuse Scala de Milan, mais souffre de la concurrence d'une rivale : Renata Tebaldi. Lorsque cette dernière tombe malade, Maria Callas la remplace au pied levé. Elle tient sa chance de se distinguer, mais les critiques du lendemain sont assez mauvaises. Malgré ce début mitigé à la Scala, Maria ne se décourage pas. Elle sait qu'elle est née pour être une prima donna. Pour mieux séduire le public, Maria a une obsession : maigrir. Elle commence un régime drastique et perd 35 kg en deux ans. Avec son physique longiligne, Maria Callas devient une icône. Au début des années 1970, la plus grande diva du XXe siècle transmet son art à des élèves de la prestigieuse Julliard School de New York. En 1973, elle fait une tournée de récitals qui est en réalité une tournée d'adieux, et en 1977, Maria Callas décède peu après un malaise. Les raisons de sa mort sont assez mystérieuses, certains évoquent un suicide. Mais peut-on vraiment mourir quand on est la plus mythique des chanteuses lyriques de tous les temps ?

Chris Riegel, CEO of SCALA.com, states that Chinese claims of matching Nvidia's high-end chip success are largely propaganda, though China mandates domestic chip use. The US holds the AI "pole position." AI is a genuine profit driver, worth trillions to GDP, with material workforce impact expected by 2026. Guest: Chris Riegel
SHOW 11-13-25 CBS EYE ON THE WORLD WITH JOHN BATCHELOR THE SHOW BEGINS IN THE DOUBTS ABOUT BUNDESTAG COHESION AND STABILITY. FIRST HOUR 9-915 1/2 Anatol Lieven discusses the war in Ukraine, noting the new Russian unit RubiKon hunting drone operators and the slow Russian advance on Pakovsk, aided by both innovation and old factors like fog. The conversation also covers Germany's military rearmament plans and the significant, rising influence of the populist right AFD party in German politics, which is strongly anti-immigrant and largely anti-rearmament. Guest: Anatol Lieven. 1/2 915-930 2/2 Anatol Lieven details UK Prime Minister Starmer's genuine political troubles concerning domestic policy drift and significant potential losses in upcoming regional elections. Starmer maintains prestige supporting Ukraine, though funding remains a question. A back channel to Moscow has been opened by Jonathan Powell to discuss peace, dropping the prior insistence on a ceasefire, indicating a shift in London. Guest: Anatol Lieven. 2/2 930-945 Chris Riegel, CEO of SCALA.com, states that Chinese claims of matching Nvidia's high-end chip success are largely propaganda, though China mandates domestic chip use. The US holds the AI "pole position." AI is a genuine profit driver, worth trillions to GDP, with material workforce impact expected by 2026. Guest: Chris Riegel 945-1000 Mary Anastasia O'grady reports on the assassination of Mayor Carlos Monzo in Michoacán, killed after leaving President Sheinbaum's Morena party and aggressively confronting cartels and their agricultural extortion. Sheinbaum has cooperated smartly with the US, allowing surveillance flights, and hired credible security chief García Haruch. The main challenge is whether Sheinbaum has the political will to confront the cartels, especially given the widespread belief in Morena's complicity. Guest: Mary Anastasia O'Grady. SECOND HOUR 10-1015 Cliff May discusses severe Christian persecution in Nigeria, which President Tinubu claims guarantees religious liberty. Attacks are carried out by Boko Haram, ISWAP, and powerful Fulani militias. May suggests jihadism acts as theological justification for Fulani nomadic herders to seize land from Christian farmers. The US could provide assistance, training, and advice to the Nigerian military to protect communities. Guest: Cliff May. 1015-1030 Sadanand Dhume examines the shift in US foreign policy, where President Trump now favors Pakistan and its military chief, General Munir. This followed intense combat between India and Pakistan after a horrific terrorist attack. When the US mediated a ceasefire, Trump took credit, which embarrassed Indian Prime Minister Modi. Pakistan cleverly thanked Trump and nominated him for a Nobel Peace Prize, securing his favor over India. India now needs a trade deal. Guest: Sadanand Dhume. 1030-1045 Professor Matthew Graham discusses the most powerful black hole flare ever recorded, which shone like 10 trillion suns from an Active Galactic Nucleus (AGN). Material falling into the supermassive black hole forms an accretion disc, releasing intense radiation. This 10-billion-year-old event was detected using computer cameras. Graham explains that these black holes are ancient "seeds" of galaxies, acting as cosmic vacuum cleaners, such as when a large star gets shredded. Guest: Professor Matthew Graham. 1/2 1045-1100 Professor Matthew Graham details his needs for future black hole research, prioritizing a network of space telescopes with large fields of view, like the Roman space telescope, for perpetual, multi-wavelength monitoring of the sky. This "audit of the cosmos" will improve detection speed and timing. Graham encourages students to pursue black hole work, noting it is a vibrant growth area, viewing black holes as the enduring future product of the universe. Guest: Professor Matthew Graham.2/2 THIRD HOUR 1100-1115 Veronique de Rugy discusses the cost of living, critiquing the administration's claims that Thanksgiving dinner is cheaper, citing the use of shrinkflation and item removal. She criticizes the proposal to send $2,000 checks, noting this Keynesian approach boosts demand, which, without increased supply, risks raising prices further. De Rugy advocates for deregulation and the elimination of tariffs (which she confirms are a tax) as the necessary supply-side solution to the affordability crisis. Guest: Veronique de Rugy. 1115-1130 Conrad Black assesses Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney's new budget as anti-climactic, failing to deliver promised growth or definitive decisions on controversial policies like pipelines. However, the budget was sensible and conciliatory, avoiding conflict with the opposition, Washington, and Alberta. Carney, adopting a diplomatic style akin to a central banker, did offer serious encouragements to alleviate the housing shortage. Guest: Conrad Black. 1130-1145 Scott Winship analyzes 50 years of US median earnings, preferring the MACPI to accurately adjust for cost of living. He finds that the middle class is better off: women's earnings are up 120%, and men's are up 40–50%. Winship disputes populist theories that income inequality or the China shock are the main villains, noting that the worst period for young men was 1973–1989, predating those factors. Guest: Scott Winship.1/2 1145-1200 Scott Winship investigates the mystery of the decline in young men's earnings between 1973 and 1989. He concludes this period was not caused by accelerated immigration or women entering the workforce, as men's earnings continued to rise. The actual explanation is the unique economic combination of stagflation—high unemployment and very high inflation—that occurred until the early 1980s recession. This severe economic dynamic has not been matched since 1989. Guest: Scott Winship. FOURTH HOUR 12-1215 The arrival of the US carrier Gerald Ford signals an escalating commitment to possible military solutions against Maduro's regime in Venezuela. Maduro has ordered a Cuban-style guerrilla defense, but analysts worry more about "anarchization"—wreaking havoc—if he falls. Removing Maduro and lifting sanctions could lead to necessary refinancing of Venezuela's $170 billion debt. Guest: Evan Ellis. 1/4 1215-1230 Peru faces severe political instability, evidenced by six presidents in two years and detentions for corruption. Transitional leader José Heresi is tackling rising organized crime, including a 36% jump in homicides, through a state of emergency. Meanwhile, China maintains deep-seated influence, controlling key sectors like mining, oil, and the deep-water port of Chancay. Guest: Evan Ellis.2/4 1230-1245 Honduras is holding a high-stakes, single-round election where the outcome could determine if the country returns to alignment with Taiwan or shifts to China. Election observers noted improper pressure and concerns about meddling by the ruling Libre Party. Separately, Argentina's economy under Milei is strengthening, backed by a significant US currency swap and political support. Guest: Evan Ellis. 3/4 1245-100 AM COP 30 is largely "political theater" with commitments insufficient to address climate change. Estimates suggest the crucial 1.5-degree global temperature increase will be reached by 2030. While there is increased international attention, funding remains inadequate; Brazil secured only $5.5 billion toward its $125 billion forest preservation goal. The plight of Amazonian indigenous peoples continues unaddressed. Guest: Evan Ellis.4/4 |

He emphasizes energy security as intrinsic to national security, criticizing government subsidies as ineffective and prone to cronyism. COL-GRANT-NEWWSHAM-ROK-DPRK-9-4.mp3 Guest Name: Grant NEWSHam Affiliation: Colonel, United States Marine Corps retired, and author of "When China Attacks" Summary: The discussion traces the cynical division of Korea at the 38th parallel and the resulting prosperity of South Korea versus the starvation in North Korea.

Future plans also include resource utilization and space tourism. JULIA-CARTWRIGHT-HOUSING-9-4.mp3 Guest Name: Julia Cartwright Affiliation: Senior Research Fellow in Law and Economics at the American Institute for Economic Research Summary: The conversation examines the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) as a major impediment to housing development, particularly for rebuilding after wildfires.

This bureaucracy disproportionately impacts affordable housing and is exacerbated by entities like the California Coastal Commission.

Michael Bernstam highlights Russia's struggle with declining oil prices, leading to budget deficits and losses for major oil companies. China and India are benefiting from discounted Russian crude, processing it for sale to Europe, bypassing sanctions. Secondary sanctions on China could disrupt this trade. MOHSEN-SAZEGARA-IRAN-9-4.mp3 Guest Name: Mohsen Sazagara Affiliation: Democracy activist from Iran Summary: Mohsen Sazagara confirms Iran's rearmament efforts, fueled by its leadership's belief in success against Israel and continued anti-US policies. Iran is seeking arms from Russia (via Belarus) and China (via North Korea), though Russia is reportedly less generous than expected. The speaker notes growing internal opposition within Iran and a high probability of another military conflict with Israel, especially concerning nuclear development or air defense rebuilding. SADANAND-DHUME-MODI-9-4.mp3 Guest Name: Sadanand Dhume Affiliation: American Enterprise Institute, writes "East to East" column for the Wall Street Journal Summary: The discussion analyzes Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi's visit to China for the Shanghai Cooperation Organization, amidst declining US-India relations due to tariffs. India's large farm lobby, especially dairy, heavily influences trade policy. Despite diplomatic gestures, India maintains vigilance against Chinese aggression due to deep-rooted border disputes and China's close ties with Pakistan, indicating India won't align closely with China. VERONIQUE-DERUGY-9-4.mp3 Guest Name: Veronique de Rugy Affiliation: Mercatus Center Summary: Veronique de Rugy strongly critiques the proposal for a US sovereign wealth fund, arguing it's a poor idea given the US's high debt-to-GDP ratio and existing budget deficits. She contends that borrowing to invest would be fiscally unsound and would lead to "cronyism on steroids," as government investment decisions are driven by political priorities rather than viable market opportunities, unlike private sector investments.
