Gli alberi non sono solo arredo urbano, ma parte viva e indispensabile delle nostre città. In questa puntata di Radio CICAP scopriamo come il verde urbano possa migliorare la nostra salute, ridurre gli effetti della crisi climatica e cambiare il modo in cui viviamo gli spazi che abitiamo. Con l'aiuto del professor Giorgio Vacchiano parliamo di convivenza con le specie vegetali, di come è nata la pianificazione del verde cittadino e di come possiamo imparare a “vedere” davvero gli alberi, anche quando sembrano invisibili.Ospite: Giorgio VacchianoRedazione: Elisa Baioni, Clarissa Esposti, Manuela Gialanella, Diego Martin, Matteo Melchiori, Giuseppe Molle, Alex Ordiner, Dasara Shullani, Matilde Spagnolo, Cristiano Ursella, Chiara Vitaloni, Enrico ZabeoAltri riferimenti:[https://www.laterza.it/scheda-libro/?isbn=9788858133323 L'incredibile viaggio delle piante:][https://www.ilsaggiatore.com/libro/semi Semi][https://www.mondadori.it/libri/la-resilienza-del-bosco-giorgio-vacchiano/ La resilienza del bosco]Musiche: [https://www.epidemicsound.com/ Epidemic Sound]Seguiteci sui profili social del CICAP:Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/@cicap.orgInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/cicap_it/Newsletter: https://eepurl.com/ihPeWL
Messi a punto tra Pisa, Napoli e Firenze i primi pannelli fotovoltaici semi-trasparenti fatti di plastica riciclata.Per la precisione, si tratta di concentratori solari luminescenti e si basano sulla proprietà che hanno alcune nano-particelle o alcuni coloranti di assorbire e riemettere la luce. Quando questi materiali si trovano dispersi in una lastra trasparente, di plexiglass o vetro, la luce riemessa rimane intrappolata nella lastra e viaggia fino al suo bordo, dove dei piccoli pannelli fotovoltaici la intercettano trasformandola in elettricità. Da tempo si lavora su questi oggetti con l'obiettivo di creare dei pannelli fotovoltaici semi-trasparenti, che possano essere integrati in vetrate, pensiline o serre. Di recente, un team di ricercatori dell'Università di Pisa, in collaborazione con il CNR-ICCOM di Firenze e l'Università di Napoli Federico II, ha mostrato come sia possibile produrli anche da plastica riciclata. Ce lo racconta Andrea Pucci, professore di Chimica Industriale dell'Università di Pisa.

We're back with another AFTN Soccer Show packed full of Vancouver Whitecaps, Major League Soccer, Canadian Premier League, and FIFA Under 17 World Cups chat and interviews. It wasn't the prettiest victory, but the Whitecaps got the job done in Dallas on Saturday night, winning a penalty shootout in game two of their playoff series to book their berth in the Western Conference semi-finals and setting up a mouthwatering clash with LAFC. It's the Müller v Son showdown so many around MLS wanted. We look back at the game, look ahead to that semi-final, and round-up the rest of the MLS (and CPL) playoff action. One of the Whitecaps many strengths this year has been their defence. We look at what's made it so successful with the help of some thoughts from Jesper Sorensen and chat with MLS Defender of the Year Tristan Blackmon. Plus we sit down with rookie defender Tate Johnson to talk about his season so far, his first playoff experience, and enjoying life in Vancouver. We also talk Canada at the men's and women's U17 World Cup and hear from both head coaches, Mike Vitulano and Jen Herst, plus music-wise, Camper van Beethoven begin their residency as our Album of the Month, we've two Britpop songs from Oasis and Wavelength with features a song about Arsenal centreback Tony Adams. Here's the rundown for the main segments from the episode: 01.28: Intro - college nationals set to begin, Rise missing out on BC talent 10.35: Whitecaps beat Dallas on penalties to advance in MLS playoffs 47.45: Müller v Son semi showdown awaits 58.15: MLS playoff round-up 90.25: Whitecaps defence discussion 109.00: Tate Johnson interview 117.40: Cavalry knock off Forge and head to CPL championship game 121.00: Canada U17 men set to get their World Cup underway 136.30: Canada U17 women pay the penalty in heartbreaking World Cup loss 144.30: Wavelength - The A Team - Ooh Ooh Tony Adams
Semi-auto deer rifles are the Kings of fast follow-up shots, the Dukes of deer drives, and Princes of pie-plate precision (kidding on that last part). A cultural norm in some regions and nearly absent in others, semi-autos often prove much more accurate than many folks give them credit for. Tune in to this podcast where Mark Boardman and Ryan Muckenhirn talk all about the iconic semi-auto deer rifle and its place amongst the hunting ranks.As always, we want to hear your feedback!

Send us a textA nationwide talent engine for chips is taking shape—and it's built to scale. Recorded live at SEMICON West in Phoenix, we sit down with SEMI Foundation leaders to unpack the National Network for Microelectronics Education, a hub-and-node model designed to align schools, employers, and workforce systems. Backed by CHIPS Act funding through the National Science Foundation, NNME will fund multi-state regional nodes that modernize curricula, streamline upskilling, and share proven playbooks across the country. We also unveil the refreshed Chip Path portal, which maps your skills and interests to real jobs in fabs, equipment, and materials, and we highlight SEMI-Quest, a hands-on STEM experience designed to spark early curiosity about microelectronics.Then we turn to sustainability where momentum is accelerating. The Semiconductor Climate Consortium has grown past 100 members and is shifting from baselines to projects that deliver measurable impact. We explore how the Energy Collaborative pushes for policy that opens affordable renewable power, while SCC advances user-side strategies—better emissions accounting, renewable procurement models, and fab energy efficiency. A core challenge emerges: hyperscalers often target net zero by 2030, while many chipmakers point to 2050. We dig into how coordinated innovation, shared standards, and advocacy can close that 20-year gap.AI's energy appetite raises the stakes, so we tackle both sides of the equation: adding clean capacity where it matters most and designing for lower power at the chip and fab level. From global cooperation across APAC, EU, and the U.S. to practical ways individuals and companies can act now, the throughline is collaboration with urgency.

By Charles Lear, read by AI (written before AudioBlogs) The history of UFO sightings and alien encounters as portrayed in the popular media is, mostly, separated into distinct periods: modern, from the late 1890's airship flap followed by World War II “foo fighters” into post-1947 after the Kenneth Arnold report, and ancient interaction pieced together using “evidence” from the time of cave dwelling humans up to the time of the builders of cities and megalithic structures. UFOs depicted in Byzantine paintings (misinterpreted conventional symbols) the 1561 report from Nuremburg, Germany and the 1566 report from Basel, Switzerland are often thrown in during reviews of UFO history but what about the time in between then and the 1890's? It turns out that there are quite a few reports from the period in question and they read like modern reports although they were written before the modern context of alien visitation. CONTINUE>

When people hear “franchise”, they immediately picture a drive-through window and a fryer in the back. That narrow view hides one of the most accessible and profitable paths to business ownership today: non-food franchising. We've been taught that entrepreneurship means starting from scratch: writing business plans, building systems, and hoping your idea sticks. Franchising flips that equation. You're not reinventing the wheel; you're stepping into a proven system with training, marketing, and infrastructure already built. The best part? You can own a business that runs without you being chained to it. The real secret is that most high-income professionals, doctors, executives, and even W-2 employees can buy or build semi-passive franchises that generate cash flow, deliver powerful tax advantages, and diversify their wealth far beyond the stock market. And yet, most never explore it because they still think of “fast food.” Why is buying a franchise a better path into business ownership? What are the lesser-known benefits you get from this model? In this episode, I sit down with Jon Ostenson, founder of FranBridge Consulting and author of Non-Food Franchising. We unpack the world of franchises that don't involve burgers or coffee cups. We talk about how to identify the right concept, fund your investment, and leverage the new tax rules that make owning a franchise smarter than ever. Things You'll Learn In This Episode -The shortcut to entrepreneurship Most people think you need to invent something new to build wealth. What if the fastest path is owning a system that's already proven to work? -Semi-passive ownership, real results Some franchises thrive even when the owner isn't there daily. How do they do it, and what separates a true “executive model” from wishful thinking? -The hidden tax advantage of business ownership Business owners play by a completely different tax rulebook. How can franchising open those same doors for people still working a W-2 job? -The non-food franchise boom From home services to senior care, boring is the new profitable. Why are the most recession-resistant franchises the ones no one talks about? Guest Bio Jon Ostenson is a Top 1% Franchise Consultant; 2 x Inc 5000 Founder; author of 'Non-Food Franchising', Forbes Contributor, and CEO of FranBridge Consulting. Specializing in the area of non-food franchising, he draws on his experience as both the president of an Inc. 500 franchise system and as a multi-brand franchisee in serving his consulting clients who are looking to explore business ownership opportunities. Jon helps clients understand all aspects of non-food franchising in the process of introducing them to opportunities from the over 600 high-growth brands that he represents. Before FranBridge, Jon was the President of ShelfGenie, a national franchise system with 200 locations.
