What started as a nine-day motorcycle trip through Bosnia, Croatia and Slovenia took a sudden and serious turn. Riding the TET, Philipp Amann and his friends were well into their journey when one of the riders fell ill but insisted on continuing. When he made the decision to turn back, his friends chose to ride with him, unaware of how quickly his condition was deteriorating. It's a story about good intentions, missed signs, and the importance of recognizing when it's time to stop.

Childcare policy affects all of us at some point in our lives. And depending on where you live, your country's parental leave and early-education policies can determine everything from what you do for a living to how you divide household labor to how you plan for your future. Reporters Maja Stepančič and Uršula Zaletelj took a whirlwind trip across Europe to find out which country does childcare policy best. And even if you don't have kids of your own, we're pretty sure you'll enjoy taking the journey with them. Maja and Uršula are the hosts of the Slovenian-language parenting podcast Šala za starše, or ‘A Joke for Parents'. You can find their show here. This series was fully funded by you, our listeners.

Piše Meta Kušar, bere Mateja Perpar. V zadnjem času različna gibanja apelirajo, da je treba dejstva ponotranjiti. Imeti podatke, ni dovolj. Politika, ki ne implementira demokratičnih vrednot, je vredna še manj. Za dobro življenje moramo uresničevati Ustavo RS, zakone, dogovore – politiki in državljani. O tem v zborniku Soglasje za zgodovinski trenutek ali Novi prispevki za slovenski pomladni program razmišlja 74 različnih strokovnjakov, komplementarnih levemu delu politike. Levi del nam je vladal 24 let, desna sredina 9 let, kljub temu je mnogi niso uzavestili kot legitimno. Tokrat ni možnosti, da bi se poglabljali v vzroke duševne zanemarjenosti Slovencev, ki nas duši kot masivna banalnost na vseh področjih. V veliki meri jo zaradi nepoznavanja preteklosti, in trganja vezi z njo, povzroča izkoreninjenost ljudi. Neobčutljivi smo za bistvene stvari. Strokovnjaki so napisali, kar opažajo v naših družbenih sistemih in podsistemih. Slovenija, ki je bila ob osamosvojitvi vesela, rdečelična nevesta, se spreminja v nesamozavestno, anoreksično tridesetletnico. In s tokom, ki ga je ubrala, ne more biti zadovoljen prav nihče, ki je vsaj malo resnicoljuben. Zbornik je opozorilo vsem državljanom, saj smo vsi prišli v tisto stanje n u j e, na katero je treba dejavno odgovoriti, če ne želimo izgubiti svoje države, ki ni samoumevna. Veliko gre narobe in krute realnosti si ne smemo prikrivati, če naj se osvobodimo in ozdravimo izkoreninjenosti. Samo svoboden človek je sposoben ustvarjati dodano vrednost. Kakor jo Zahodni Evropejec, ki je tudi veliko hudega preživel, a ga rane niso pohabile. Ivan Cankar nam je kazal nesvoboden in eksistenčno ogrožen narod, katerega pripadnik je bil. Pokazal svoje prvo osvobajanje: erotično, z zbirko Erotika. Župančič, je šel s Čašo opojnosti v isto smer. Prvoborca modernizma, nista erotiki izborila svobode za zmeraj in za vse. Pokazala sta, da je eros prva točka osvobajanja. Druga je svobodno doživljanje, tretja svobodno mišljenje in četrta svoboda govora – in še mnogo zraven imenujemo svoboda – demokracija. Zato nacija zahteva demokracijo, ko enkrat to doseže. Če je nima, bodo lucidne, svobodne posameznike skrivali pod pisker. V naši zgodovini so imeli vsak svoj pisker za onemogočanje razsvetljevanja; najprej klerikalci petsto let, kasneje komunistična partija 45 let. Zdaj pa v plamenček pihajo zavezniki kontrakulture, prepričani, da je Slovenija njihova torta. Njim pripada sladkanje. Trinajst poglavij lahko samo naštejemo: v Uvodu Peter Jambrek, Ernest Petrič, Alenka Puhar, Dimitrij Rupel, Ivan Štuhec, Žiga Turk in Tomaž Zalaznik osvetlijo naravo in namen knjige, sledijo Kontekst slovenske osamosvojitve, Vrednote liberalne demokracije in vrnitev na Zahod, Pretres iz ZDA, Prispevki v času in za čas ter Prispevki za odločilne trenutke. Sledijo poglavja: Slovenija v prelomnem času, Mednarodne zadeve in globalizacija, Kriza Evrope in Unije, Revolucija in sprava, Gospodarstvo in razvoj, Zdravstvo in socialna pravičnost, Izobraževanje in znanost, Kultura, umetnost in etika, Identiteta in civilna družba, Demokracija in ustava, Zgodovinske perspektive, nacionalni program. Sklep je Srečanje misli za odločilne trenutke. Veliko je bistvenih opažanj, kot so: Vzrok erozije razsvetljenstva je šibkost duha. Humanisti in družboslovci, ki pri nas diplomirajo, zagovarjajo izstop iz zahodnega civilizacijskega kroga. Splošna javnost je sprejela, da je slovenska pomlad zgrešen projekt, osamosvojitelji pa so domala kriminalci. Omamljeni od večnega čara socializma so pozabili, da je Slovenija startala v samostojnost s 1250-odstotno inflacijo. Dejanska vladavina prava je ključna, ker pogojuje izboljšanje življenja in blaginje. Prva stvar za narodno spravo je, da prevlada resnica. Slovenci smo neodporni na izkrivljanje zgodovinskih dejstev in izkrivljanje današnje resničnosti. Povejmo nekaj več o slovenski identiteti, ki jo je raziskoval Andrej Drapal: Ali vemo, zakaj nekateri funkcionarji nosijo droben logo I feel Slovenia, ki se je ponesrečeno prekucnil v turistično dejavnost, čeprav gre za 107 strani dolg poslovni dokument iz leta 2008 in velja še danes. To je njegovo delo. Raziskovali so osrednje poteze slovenskosti, ki se nenehno razvijajo, a v temelju ostajajo enake in bodo podlaga razvoju Slovenije tudi v prihodnje. Smo prizadevni v vsem, kar radi počnemo in tam dosegamo presežke. V športu je to prednost, pri drugih zaposlitvah si nakopljemo težave. Organski razvoj je jedrni del naše vizije. Globoko v sebi smo konservativni, zato je naše geslo Naprej z naravo. Slovenščino vidimo kot vrednoto. Igor Grdina potrjuje naše nacionalne lastnosti, opozarja na težke izgube, ki so nas doletele v letih 1941 do 1945. Od poldrugega milijona Slovencev je izgubilo življenje približno 100.000 ljudi, kar primerja z Norveško, ki je imela okoli 10.300 žrtev. A mi smo imeli pol manj prebivalcev kot Norveška. V zvezi z obdobjem 2020–2022 opaža, da je kultura postala tarča kontrakulture, in ta je zdaj ni pripravljena niti tolerirati. Opaža tudi, da so eksponenti komunističnega režima začeli obvladovati neodvisno Slovenijo in širiti jugoslovansko mentaliteto. Mračen cilj vidi v agresivnem propagiranju egalitarnosti, katere približek je mogoč edino v revščini. Premalo je vznemirjenja ob izidu tega pomembnega zbornika. Se ogroženost nacije, skupaj z maloštevilčnostjo, po stotih letih ni končala? Kljub herojem NOB in članstvu v EU! Zatrti smo v doživljanju, mišljenju in izražanju. Potrebujemo holističen pristop, skupno vizijo in uveljavljanje meritokracije, ki se lahko uresniči samo iz celotne nacije. Brez kritike do lastne partije ne bo šlo. Zbornik Soglasje za zgodovinski trenutek ali Novi prispevki za slovenski pomladni program je knjiga o pomembnih rečeh. Iztok Simoniti je pred šestimi leti, v Vodah svobode, na 200 straneh napisal priročnik za demokracijo. Take knjige zahtevajo dosti in veliko dajejo in današnjemu času so prepotrebne.

This season only one rider had managed to drop Tadej Pogačar — Wout van Aert. Until now. At the Pogi Challenge in Slovenia, British hill-climber Andrew Feather crossed the line ahead of Pogačar on his home roads, pulling off one of the most unexpected results of the year. Anthony sat down with Andrew to break down exactly how it happened — the pacing, the tactics, and the moment he realised Pogačar was fading. He also dives into his setup, race-day nutrition, and the hilariously simple choices behind the ride. It's smart, surprising, and hugely entertaining. You're going to love this interview with the man who just beat Pogačar: Andrew Feather.A big shoutout to our incredible sponsors - NOMIO is clinically proven to:Lower lactate levels, Reduce oxidative stress, Improve training adaptations And deliver a noticeable boost from the very first dose.

Suhozidna gradnja je veščina zidanja brez uporabe veziva. Kamen za zidavo je pridobljen v neposredni bližini, s čiščenjem in urejanjem zemljišč. S poznavanjem principov skladnje so, tudi v Alpah, že od prazgodovine nastajali različni tipi trdnih kamnitih objektov. Znanje, tehnike in veščine suhozidne gradnje so od leta 2018 vpisane na Unescov reprezentativni seznam nesnovne kulturne dediščine. O tej veščini (in še čem) se je z gospodom Borisom Čokom – avtorjem in registriranim nosilcem dediščine, pogovarjala Katarina Žakelj iz CIPRE Slovenija. Avgusta 2025 je CIPRA Slovenija pod mentorstvom g. Čoka izvedla akcijo Ogenj v Alpah/ Via Alpina Youth. Mladi so obnovili suhozid v Vasi na skali nad Sočo. Izvedbo te aktivnosti je finančno omogočil program EU Erasmus+. Aktivnost je predstavljala košček v mozaiku projekta KamenGor: oživljanje dediščine suhozidov Goriške, ki ga je finančno podprlo Ministrstvo za kulturo RS. Več informacij o njem lahko najdete na strani CIPRE Slovenija. https://www.cipra.org/sl/novice/kamengor-ohranimo-dediscino Foto: Natalia Polonskaia --- Dry-wall construction is the art of building masonry without the use of binding materials. The stone for the masonry is obtained in the immediate vicinity, by clearing and landscaping the land. The knowledge of the principles of composition has been used to create different types of solid stone buildings since prehistoric times, including in the Alps. The knowledge, techniques and skills of dry stone building have been inscribed on UNESCO's Representative List of the Intangible Cultural Heritage since 2018. Katarina Žakelj from CIPRA Slovenia talked to Boris Čok - author and registered heritage holder - about this skill (and more). In August 2025, CIPRA Slovenia, under the mentorship of Mr Čok, implemented the Fire in the Alps/ Via Alpina Youth campaign. The young people restored the drystone wall in the Village on the Rock above the Soča River. The activity was a piece in the mosaic of the project KamenGor: revitalising the drystone heritage of Goriška, which was financially supported by the Ministry of Culture of the Republic of Slovenia. More information about the project can be found on the CIPRA Slovenia website.

On this week's episode of the BikeRadar news podcast, Jack Luke is again joined by Simon von Bromley to discuss the biggest tech stories in cycling this week.   We open the show with the news that Tadej Pogačar has finally been beaten in a bike race by none other than friend of BikeRadar, four-time British national hill climb champion, and full-time lawyer, Andrew Feather.   After recounting Feather's incredible ride at the Pogi Challenge charity ride in Slovenia, Simon recalls the time he got to spend watching Andrew posting some outrageous stats in a Bath university performance lab, back in 2019.   Next up, Simon reveals all about Campagnolo's newly released Ultra components – a suite of eye-wateringly expensive upgrades for the Italian brand's Super Record 13 groupset, which cut a whopping 81g from the already-very-lightweight groupset.   Jack and Simon then discuss the new world record for the longest continuous wheelie on a bicycle – which now sits at an outrageous 93.45 miles / 150.4km – and whether Strava might be becoming irrelevant.   Lastly, Jack takes the lead on our ‘rant of the week', with the view that bikes are far easier to maintain than cars – and information far more readily available – and so bike mechanics should probably stop moaning so much.   Pogačar beaten by 40-year-old lawyer in Pogi Challenge charity ride Campagnolo's €990 Ultra component package cuts 81g from its Super Record 13 groupset Strava is becoming irrelevant – I use this free app instead Man wheelies bike for 93 miles, destroying world record Learn more about your ad choices.

The 2025 Motocross of Nations did not disappoint! Team USA put on an incredible performance with their backup lineup, and we finally got to see the Coenen brothers' raw speed go head-to-head against the Americans. There were standout rides across the board — Jo Shimoda repped Team Japan beautifully, while Tim Gajser and Team Slovenia scored their best-ever MXON finish! Team France crushed it once again with another podium, and the Lawrence brothers alongside Kyle Webster led Team Australia to back-to-back MXON victories! In this chapter of the podcast, we break down all the chaos — the crashes, track conditions, new rivalries, and the biggest storylines from the weekend. Tune in and join the debate

In Part 1, Lee tells Paul about his travels to watch pod favourites Greenland and San Marino live during their respective trips to Austria over the international window. How did he impact the course of the Arctic island's match against Slovenia from the sidelines? What insights did he glean from inside the Greenland camp? Why is the legendary Austrian striker Toni Polster so bitter towards San Marino? And what question did Lee ask SM coach Roberto Cevoli at the press conference following his side's double-digit defeat? There's more groundhopping tales to tell in Part 2 – but this time from the club game, because Lee has also been to watch Paks against Ferencváros in a Hungarian top-of-the-table clash in Budapest. What resemblance do Hungary's surprise league leaders bear to Athletic Bilbao of Spain? Why is their ultra group named 'Atomic Strike'? Why did thousands of Ferencváros fans change places in the stands five minutes into the match? And why might we not recommend live football in Hungary to groundhoppers?

So — we weren't able to record an episode for MD 1 of the Conference League last week, but we've got the next best thing! We've picked a few UECL teams to zero in on, all of which got big wins in this early stage of the league phase, including Lech Poznan, Shakhtar Donetsk, and AEK Larnaca. But the main story is Slovenia's NK Celje, who keep defying expectations and dominating European opponents. We ask the important questions — Why are they so successful? How far can they go? And when can we visit? We also introduce you to their new starman, Franko Kovacevic, who's taking both the Slovenian and Conference Leagues by storm this season. It may well be name to remember. Finally, we bring you our new segment: The Big Boy Check In, where we do 60 second spots on each of the 5 "big league" teams (Palace, Fiorentina, Rayo, Mainz, Strasbourg). What's up with them? What direction are they going in? Who do we like to go all the way? All that and some Aberdeen on today's show! Cheers to Imanol Idiakez!

Armando BuonaiutoQuesto vuoto d'intorno"Torino Spiritualità"http://www.torinospiritualita.orghttp://www.circololettori.itTorino Spiritualità costruisce uno spazio di riflessione sul vuoto e sulle sue numerose forme, esplorando questa presenza impalpabile ma pervasiva. “Questo vuoto d'intorno. Smarrirsi / / Raggiungersi” è la XXI edizione del festival, ideato dalla Fondazione Circolo dei lettori e curato da Armando Buonaiuto, in programma dal 15 al 19 ottobre al Circolo dei lettori e delle lettrici, in teatri, chiese, cinema, spazi della cultura a Torino. In un'epoca dominata dall'eccesso di impegni, oggetti e esperienze, Torino Spiritualità propone di guardare al vuoto non come a una mancanza da colmare, ma come a una dimensione da abitare, soglia aperta sull'inatteso, spazio di contemplazione di sé e del mondo. Pensatrici e pensatori, voci della teologia, della scienza, della letteratura e della filosofia accompagnano il pubblico in un percorso fatto di parole, silenzi e domande radicali sul senso dell'esistere.«Per paradossale che sia, il vuoto riempie le nostre giornate manifestandosi sotto molteplici apparenze: a volte confortanti come la quiete di “una stanza tutta per sé”, altre volte angoscianti come lo scricchiolio di un pavimento troppo sottile per reggerci. Ma qual è in definitiva la natura di questo vuoto? Vortice e sorgente, precipizio e rifugio, il vuoto è lo spazio sospeso di ogni divenire possibile», afferma Armando Buonaiuto, curatore di Torino Spiritualità.«Se da un lato c'è un vuoto che vogliamo fuggire, dall'altro ce n'è uno a cui miriamo. Oggi che le nostre giornate sono travolte da sollecitazioni continue, il vuoto non è soltanto mancanza ma anche spazio di libertà, persino di sollievo: una pausa necessaria in cui sottrarsi all'eccesso e ritrovare misura.» dichiara Giuseppe Culicchia, direttore della Fondazione Circolo dei lettori.Il festival prende il via martedì 14 ottobre con l'anteprima Concerto al buio del compositore, musicista e sound designer Teho Teardo: un'esperienza di puro ascolto che dopo il MAXXI di Roma e la Triennale di Milano, approda al Circolo dei lettori e delle lettrici in doppio spettacolo (h 18.45 e h 20.45). Distesi a terra, immersi nell'oscurità, i partecipanti saranno guidati in cinquanta minuti di viaggio sonoro tra registrazioni ambientali notturne effettuate nelle foreste al confine tra Italia, Austria e Slovenia.La giornata inaugurale di mercoledì 15 ottobre si apre alla Chiesa di San Filippo Neri (h 18.30) con Questo vuoto d'intorno, questo vuoto di dentro, dialogo tra il teologo Vito Mancuso e il fisico Guido Tonelli, moderato dal curatore del festival Armando Buonaiuto: tra scienza e spiritualità, un invito ad accogliere l'enigma del vuoto e della sua vertigine. Segue una serata di appuntamenti: al Circolo dei lettori e delle lettrici lo psicoanalista Claudio Widmann riflette sul rapporto tra inconscio ed energia con Il vuoto del mozzo fa girare la ruota (h 21); al Cinema Romano l'astronauta Paolo Nespoli e il sacerdote Luca Peyron, moderati dalla giornalista scientifica Elena Cestino, dialogano intorno a I vuoti, lo spazio: esplorare il cielo per dare senso alla Terra (h 21).Giovedì 16 ottobre la giornata si apre al Circolo (h 10.30) con Per la vicenda eterna delle cose, incontro con lo scrittore e poeta Daniele Mencarelli dedicato alle scuole. Segue Natura abhorret a vacuo? con Donatella Puliga e Guido Bertagna Sj, a cura del Centro Ignaziano di Spiritualità (h 11.30). Nel pomeriggio, tre appuntamenti: al Circolo, Vuoti e pieni nel cammino alla ricerca di senso con il Comitato Interfedi della Città di Torino (h 18) e, sempre nelle sale di Palazzo Graneri della Roccia, il Death Café di Torino Spiritualità con il medico e scrittrice Giorgia Protti e l'antropologa Cristina Vargas (h 18), mentre alla Biblioteca dell'Educatorio della Provvidenza: Oltre il vuoto con Gianni Gentile, Antonio Dematteis e Michele Genisio (h 18).

In this podcast episode, Mateja Todorovska shares her remarkable journey from growing up in a Catholic church to becoming deeply involved in New Age practices and the occult. After believing she was serving God through these practices, Mateja's life changed dramatically in December 2018 when she encountered Jesus while watching a YouTube video. This revelation led her to repent and fully embrace Christianity, even leading her former New Age followers to Christ. Mateja lives in Slovenia with her family, works with Josiah Venture, and is committed to helping others through her faith. Mateja also provides guidance on how to engage lovingly with those who are still involved in New Age beliefs.

Kể từ sau đại dịch Covid-19, ngành du lịch Việt Nam đã dần dần phục hồi, số du khách quốc tế đã tăng mạnh trở lại. Tuy nhiên, nhiều yếu tố địa chính trị, đặc biệt là chiến tranh Ukraina, vẫn ảnh hưởng đến đà phục hồi này.  Diễn ra từ ngày 23/09 đến 25/09/2025, tại Paris, IFTM Top Resa là triển lãm du lịch quốc tế hàng đầu thế giới, quy tụ hơn 3.000 doanh nghiệp từ hơn 100 quốc gia. Đây là dịp rất quan trọng để các doanh nghiệp lữ hành kết nối với nhau, cho nên nhiều nước đã có hẳn một không gian riêng để quảng bá cho du lịch quốc gia. Riêng Việt Nam không có gian hàng quốc gia, nhưng có một khu triển lãm của thành phố Hà Nội, với sự tham gia của hãng hàng không Vietnam Airlines và 11 doanh nghiệp lữ hành chuyên tổ chức các chuyến du lịch Việt Nam cho khách từ châu Âu. Một vài doanh nghiệp khác thì có gian hàng riêng.  Top Resa 2025 diễn ra trong bối cảnh ngành du lịch Việt Nam tiếp tục con đường phục hồi sau đại dịch Covid-19 tuy nhiên cũng phần nào bị tác động của tình hình kinh tế khó khăn trên toàn cầu cũng như tác động của những đảo lộn địa chính trị, nhất là chiến tranh Ukraina.  Trả lời RFI Việt ngữ tại triển lãm, ông Trần Sơn, giám đốc công ty Vietspace Travel, được thành lập từ năm 2002, cho biết:  “Sau dịch, hoạt động của ngành du lịch nói chung đến với Việt Nam đã từng bước được phục hồi. Chính phủ Việt Nam cũng đã tạo điều kiện hết sức cho tất cả khách nước ngoài nói chung, cũng như cho các doanh nghiệp đưa khách du lịch vào Việt Nam. Chúng tôi cũng nằm ở trong số đó, nhưng sau đại dịch thì hoạt động nói chung phục hồi hơi chậm, vì nhiều lý do. Một lý do là kinh tế toàn cầu không được thuận lợi. Thói quen trong thời gian đại dịch làm cho người ta cũng thay đổi. Chi phí cho tất cả những sinh hoạt đã có những thay đổi nhiều, người ta thận trọng hơn trong chi tiêu. Một lý do nữa là trên thế giới có nhiều thay đổi về chính trị và một số nước đang có chiến tranh. Do vậy đường bay cũng ảnh hưởng, khiến giá vé trở nên đắt đỏ. Mặc dù Việt Nam cũng đã có những cải thiện rất tốt về dịch vụ cũng như về giá cả, nhưng đấy là một trong những nguyên nhân làm cho khách du lịch chưa được nhiều. Tôi hi vọng sắp tới sẽ được nhiều hơn.  Cụ thể thì chiến tranh Ukraina đã ảnh hưởng như thế nào đến các đường bay của những hãng hàng không tới Việt Nam trong thời gian qua?  Ví dụ đường bay ở phía Bắc Âu. Trước đây người ta có thể đi thẳng hoặc là chỉ transit ( quá cảnh ) một chặng đến Việt Nam. Hoặc là đối với Nga thì trước đây người ta có những chuyến bay charter đến Việt Nam, trực tiếp đến Khánh Hòa, Nha Trang, hoặc Phú Quốc. Nhưng sau đó, do ảnh hưởng của chiến tranh, các hoạt động trên đường bay đó có những thay đổi và chính vì đường bay thay đổi nên lượng máy bay cũng ít đi, làm cho giá cả tăng lên. Đấy là một tác động rất lớn đến tài chính. Khách vốn đã giảm bớt chi tiêu sau dịch bây giờ phải gánh thêm một chi tiêu khác. Tất nhiên người ta vẫn thích bay thẳng, đỡ mệt mỏi, nhưng bây giờ thì phải bay khá nhiều chặng. Vé máy bay lại tăng lên, đấy là một điều khiến người ta phải suy nghĩ lại."  Ông Đỗ Quang Tiến, giám đốc công ty Typic Travel ở Hà Nội, cũng nhìn nhận tác động của yếu tố địa chính trị đối với du lịch Việt Nam, nhưng ông nhận thấy là số khách từ châu Âu đang tăng trở lại, vì Việt Nam nay được xem là một điểm đến an toàn so với một số nước láng giềng Đông Nam Á: “Lẽ ra sau Covid, nếu không có chiến tranh ( Ukraina ) thì Việt Nam sẽ là một điểm đến được rất nhiều du khách lựa chọn. Tuy nhiên chính phủ Việt Nam cũng nhận thấy tình hình đó và đã có những chính sách rất phù hợp và kịp thời,thứ nhất là mở cửa sớm và thứ hai là miễn thị thực cho rất nhiều nước thuộc Liên Hiệp Châu Âu và Châu Âu nói chung. Biện pháp đó đã kích thích, làm tăng một lượng khách đến Việt Nam rất là lớn. Trong năm 2023, 2024, lượng khách quốc tế từ Châu Âu tới Việt Nam tăng vọt và nhiều hơn so với trước Covid 2019 khoảng từ 20 cho đến 40%. Đấy là một dấu hiệu rất tích cực. Mặc dù cũng có bị ảnh hưởng bởi tình hình địa chính trị thế giới và chiến tranh ở châu Âu, tuy nhiên, hiện tại, sau Covid, mọi người có nhu cầu khám phá và chọn điểm đến an toàn, trong đó Việt Nam cũng luôn là một điểm đến được lựa chọn bởi khách du lịch châu Âu, trong đó Pháp và Đức là hai quốc gia có lượng khách du lịch đến Việt Nam nhiều nhất kể từ 2022, 2023 và 2024 cho đến nay.  Khách cũng có sự lựa chọn nhất định. Phần lớn là khách thường có tiền một chút thì mới đi. Mức chi tiêu trước Covid rất là tốt, nhưng sau Covid, về mức chi tiêu cho những dịch vụ gia tăng tại chỗ thì họ dè chừng hơn. Tuy nhiên họ lại sử dụng những dịch vụ cao cấp hơn, chọn những khách sạn bốn, năm sao, hoặc những khu nghỉ dưỡng chuẩn quốc tế nhiều hơn so với trước Covid. Trước Covid phần lớn người ta đi theo cách, một là “bụi”, hai là sử dụng dịch vụ có mức hạn chế về chỗ ăn chỗ ở, còn lại họ dùng tiền để chi tiêu cho mua sắm. Bây giờ ngược lại họ dành chi tiêu cho việc lưu trú tốt và phần lớn không mua sắm nữa. Người Pháp hay người Đức hay người châu Âu nói chung vẫn thích điểm đến Việt Nam so với một số các nước khác. Văn hóa Việt Nam hay, phong cảnh đẹp, người dân thân thiện và đặc biệt là ăn uống rất ngon với một mức giá vô cùng rẻ so với mức sinh hoạt tại châu Âu. Trong khi đó thì các nước bên cạnh như Cam Bốt, Thái Lan hoặc xa hơn một chút là Indonesia, Malaysia, Philippines thì đều có những xáo trộn về chính trị. Chính vì vậy mà khách du lịch châu Âu lẽ ra chọn Thái Lan, Philippines, Malaysia hoặc Indonesia để đi, thì do tình hình bất ổn đó, họ đã thay đổi kế hoạch. Khoảng 30 đến 40% những khách đã có ý định đi Thái Lan hoặc các nước bên cạnh Việt Nam thay đổi ý định và chọn Việt Nam, vì Việt Nam vẫn là một điểm đến thứ nhất là thân thiện, thứ hai là an toàn, thứ ba là phong cảnh và văn hóa rất đẹp cùng với chi phí có thể nói là rẻ nhất trong khu vực Đông Nam Á, với một dịch vụ gần như là tốt nhất với chi phí đó.”  Theo số liệu thống kê, trong 8 tháng đầu năm nay, lượng khách quốc tế đến Việt Nam đạt 13,9 triệu lượt người, tăng gần 22% so với cùng kỳ năm trước. Châu Á là khu vực có nhiều khách quốc tế lớn nhất tại Việt Nam với gần 11 triệu lượt khách, tiếp đến là châu Âu với gần 1,8 triệu lượt khách.  Nhằm thu hút thêm du khách châu Âu đến Việt Nam, chính phủ Hà Nội đã quyết định miễn thị thực 45 ngày cho thêm 12 nước ở châu lục này ( Bỉ, Bulgari, Croatia, Cộng hòa Séc, Hungary, Luxembourg, Hà Lan, Ba Lan, Rumani, Slovakia, Slovenia và Thụy Sĩ )   Đối với ông Trần Sơn, giám đốc công ty Vietspace, ngoài chính  sách miễn thị thực, chính phủ cần có một kế hoạch dài hạn hơn để tạo điều kiện cho các doanh nghiệp lữ hành:  “Đấy là một chính sách rất cởi mở, chủ động, để chào đón khách trở lại Việt Nam và chứng minh Việt Nam đã có sự chuẩn bị và có những cơ sở rất tốt về dịch vụ. Trước mắt thì đương nhiên giải quyết vấn đề về visa, nhưng dài hơn nữa là phải có chính sách 5 năm, 10 năm tạo điều kiện cho các doanh nghiệp ở Việt Nam. Công ty chúng tôi thì đang cố gắng. Các đối tác cũ hầu hết tất cả đã quay lại, đã nối lại để làm việc. Nhưng đối với những người mới, chúng tôi cũng đang cố gắng để giới thiệu cho các khách hàng này. Giới thiệu ở đây là giới thiệu về văn hóa ẩm thực và các sản phẩm mới. Vì sau dịch đã có rất nhiều sự thay đổi tốt hơn. Dịch vụ ở Việt Nam rất sẵn sàng để phục vụ. Nhưng còn còn về phía Pháp nói riêng và tất cả các nước nói chung, điều này tùy thuộc vào khách hàng và tùy thuộc hoàn cảnh chung của thế giới, về tài chính, về tình hình chiến sự vân vân…” Việt Nam đã đặt ra mục tiêu đạt 25 triệu lượt du khách quốc tế trong năm 2025. Tuy nhiên, trên báo chí trong nước, các chuyên gia về du lịch của Việt Nam cho rằng ngành du lịch không nên dựa hoàn toàn vào chính sách miễn visa. Khách có đến đông, tiêu nhiều tiền và ở lâu hay không phần lớn vẫn phụ thuộc vào các sản phẩm du lịch có đủ sức thu hút khách đến mức nào. Bên cạnh đó là cách thức quảng bá cho du lịch Việt Nam. Ngoài việc tham gia các triển lãm du lịch lớn như Top Resa ở Paris, các chuyên gia đề nghị Việt Nam mở những văn phòng xúc tiến du lịch tại các thị trường quan trọng, như cách mà các nước láng giềng như Malaysia hay Thái Lan đang làm. Về phần giám đốc công ty Typic Travel, trước tình hình số du khách vào Việt Nam đang tăng trở lại, một thách thức đối với các doanh nghiệp lữ hành đó là đào tạo nguồn nhân lực cho ngành du lịch, hiện đang thiếu rất nhiều kể từ sau Covid: “Dự kiến từ năm nay đến năm 2026, lượng khách du lịch quốc tế sẽ đến Việt Nam nhiều hơn nữa. Việt Nam cũng đang cố gắng củng cố và xây dựng các cơ sở hạ tầng tốt nhất, những khu nghỉ dưỡng hoặc những điểm đến thực sự hay, đồng thời  có kế hoạch đào tạo nhân lực chuyên nghiệp. Sau Covid thì nhân lực về du lịch cũng mất rất là nhiều. Nhiều người đã chuyển sang những nghề khác nhau. Việt Nam đã bắt đầu từ 2022 kế hoạch đào tạo nhân sự mới, để làm sao đáp ứng được tất cả các nhu cầu phục vụ khách du lịch quốc tế. Việt Nam bây giờ có rất nhiều khách du lịch quốc tế với nhiều ngôn ngữ khác nhau. Số người nói tiếng Anh, Pháp, Đức hay Tây Ban Nha, hay nói tiếng Hàn, tiếng Nhật, tiếng Trung Quốc đều có, nhưng ở một mức vẫn còn hạn chế, có nghĩa là không đủ nhân lực để cung cấp cho một lượng khách du lịch đang đến rất là đông.  Không thể đào tạo ngay được nhân lực chuyên nghiệp, sẽ phải mất tối thiểu từ một năm đến ba năm để làm việc đó.”

Today's episode is a special one as I bring the full Scottish Rally team onto the R2Kast!

Last fall, the NuPoint Community Development Corporation (formerly the Union-Miles Development Corporation) launched a neighborhood history project called Southeast Side Stories. The idea is to document the stories of the Union-Miles, Mt. Pleasant and Lee-Harvard neighborhoods and those in between as well. Using a mix of first-person interviews and multimedia, including vintage photographs and film, the project chronicles the deep roots families have built in the area across generations. Also on the show, we begin with an interview with the president of Slovenia, Nataša Pirc Musar. She addressed the United Nations General Assembly last week in New York and then traveled to Cleveland. The city is home to the largest population of Slovenians outside of their country.

In this episode Fr. Paul talks to Christian a seminarian from Slovenia about his journey to the seminary and St Therese and St Rose. L'articolo E56 | Catechesis – Fr Paul Glennon & Christian – St Therese proviene da Radio Maria.

Il nodo di Salomone, simbolo non solo cristiano dell'unione nella diversità, lo abbiamo incontrato per la prima volta nella Basilica Patriarcale di Aquileia. È da qui, con le parole di Andrea Bellavite, che dirige la Fondazione Società per la Conservazione della Basilica di Aquileia (sotto tutela dell'UNESCO dal 1998 insieme all'area archeologica), che è partito l'Iter Goritiense-Cammino Goriziano. Ottanta chilometri che portano a Sveta Gora, un cammino transfrontaliero, organizzato dalla Comunità Radiotelevisiva Italofona (CRI), condiviso con le colleghe e i colleghi delle radio italofone della Comunità, attraversando confini, storie, natura. Con quattro fili, temi, conduttori: radici, ferite, rinascita e incontro. Tra gli incontri fatti strada facendo, c'è stato quello con Claudio Regeni e Paola Deffendi, i genitori di Giulio Regeni, il ricercatore friulano sequestrato, torturato e ucciso 9 anni fa in Egitto. Con in mano il libro scritto per non dimenticare Giulio, e la bandiera gialla: un altro simbolo, quello della battaglia per la giustizia.  Un percorso dentro il presente e il passato, costeggiando il fiume Isonzo, che con i suoi 136 chilometri attraversa il territorio sloveno ed italiano, per sfociare nel golfo di Trieste. Tra il 1915 e il 1917 il verde smeraldo dell'Isonzo è stato tinto di rosso, il sangue delle dodici battaglie contro l'esercito austriaco. Una memoria che resta impressa nel Carso italiano e sloveno, da San Martino del Carso al Monte San Michele dove un soldato ha scritto una piccola, ma potente, frase: «Voliamo la pace» , volutamente senza la g.Anche grazie alla forza della natura, questi luoghi hanno saputo trasformare l'orrore in rinascita, fino alla nomina di capitale della cultura europea 2025 della slovena Nova Gorica e l'italiana Gorizia. È la prima volta che il titolo viene assegnato a due città di due Paesi diversi.  Un cammino per ricordare la frontiera che dal 1947 ha diviso Gorizia e Nova Gorica voluta dal presidente jugoslavo Tito. Un muro le ha divise fino al 2004, quando la Slovenia è entrata nell'Unione Europea.  Il Cammino si è concluso al Santuario di Sveta Gora – Montesanto.  Ognuno, ognuna di noi, ha condiviso, e porta via con sé, un pensiero, una rilfessione.Con Andrea Bellavite, Direttore della Fondazione Società per la Conservazione della Basilica di Aquileia, Mitja Juren, storico, uno dei massimi esperti del fronte dell'Isonzo, Alessandro Cattunar, dottore di ricerca in Storia contemporanea e insegnante, Maria du Bessè, segretaria generale dalla Comunità Radiotelevisiva Italofona, e i colleghi e colleghe delle radio italofone della Comunità: Andrea Borgnino (Rai Radio Digitali Specializzate e Podcast), Elena de Concini (Rai Alto Adige), Selina Sciucca (Hrt - Radio Fiume), Rosario Tronnolone (Radio Vaticana), Vida Valencic (Rai Friuli-Venezia Giulia), e Barbara Urizzi (Radio Capodistria).

The organisation behind the Eurovision Song Contest has confirmed it will hold a vote to determine whether Israel will participate next year. The European Broadcasting Union confirmed it will invite 68 member countries to give their view at a general assembly meeting in November. UK correspondent Gavin Grey says other countries - including Ireland, the Netherlands, Slovenia, Iceland and Spain have all said they would consider dropping out of the contest if Israel was allowed to stay involved.

Headlines: This week, Slovenia imposed sanctions on Israel's Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, the first EU state to do so. The Slovenian government  cited the arrest warrant issued by the International Criminal Court (ICC) in November 2024, on charges of war crimes and crimes against humanity allegedly committed in Gaza since October 2023and the July 2024 advisory opinion by the International Court of Justice (ICJ) affirming the illegality of Israel's occupation and the obligations of third states not to recognise it.Israel Strike of the West Asian region including strikes on Yemen as well as a quick report of the most recent UN meeting of the general assembly. From the desk of Prof. Mazin Qumsiyeh who can follow here:The most shocking thing at the UN is not what you expect. Netanyahu'sspeech was largely boycotted by most delegates who walked out. He said whatyou expect him to say: doubling down on his rhetoric and threatening thewhole world (at one point saying to watch what he does when he returns to"Israel" in response to the recognition of a state of Palestine).  DonaldTrump spoke, rambling boisterous, dismissive of the world, self centered,and lying as usual. He said to his stunned silent audience: "I am reallygood at this stuff. Your countries are going to hell... It is true I havebeen right about everything."  But this was all expected. Also expectedthat other western countries, knowing a western-suppored genocide is goingon, try to wiggle out of it by declaring support for a Palestinian statewithout Palestinian rights. For example France and England want the stateto lie about history in school textbooks, to deny indigenous people rights(especially right of return), and most importantly to delegitimizeresistance to colonialism. Mahmoud Abbas whose term expired 15 years agogave a UN speech by video after being denied a visa by the US. Instead ofrallying against the US/Israeli dictats, he tried to reassure them that hewill disarm the resistance etc. In short they all want to support apartheidbut differ on best way forward! The recognition of the "state of Palestine"is conditional on acceptance of a racist apartheid genocidal regime in thesame was as recognition in apartheid South Africa of the fake Zululandbantustan! But the situation here is far worse than apartheid in SouthAfrica. There it was settler colonialism and here it is DISPLACEMNT andETHNIC CLEANSING and GENOCIDE in a scale not seen in the past 100 years.8.5 million Palestinians are refugees or displaced people. Hardly anyonemaking speeches at the UN mentioned this or came close to making the rightdiagnosis of what ails us.  But there were notable exceptions such asVenezuela (hence Trump is bombing it). The reality is that the mostshocking thing at the UN theater of the absurd is the discord betweentalking about Israel being isolated while taking no practical steps to stopthis genocidal regime which still exterminating civilians, attacking shipsin International waters, bombing nearby countries, torturing politicalprisoners, and starving our people. No UN speech saves a single child. Whatis needed is boycotts, divestments and sanctions (bdsmovement.net).Report about the Italian general strike and the applicable lessons to the Australian concept and what can be done about mobilising community groups towards collective and autonomous action. Francesca Albanese speech from Together for Palestine. Voices 4 Palestine II here Comrade Viviene Langford brings us another report from the Sydney rallies, this week we hear from Angus Macflane of the ASU about a union response and responsibility. Menzies 4 Palestine Interview II hereStratos from the community group Menzies for Palestine drops in for a quick chat on community organzing They are having a rally at Eltham Town Square on Arthur Street on the Saturday 4th of October. Speakers will include:Jizelle Hanna - CPSU Victorian SecretarySamanthi Gunawardna Stephen Clandinnen - Nillumbik 4 PalestineSong - DRMNGNOW - Pray NT Report II hereThe last two weeks have seen reports of an NT man that plead guilty to a fatal hit and run that saw the death of one First Nations man and the severe injury of another.

Send us a textCourtney Coppinger takes us inside her journey to the Mountain Running World Championships in this candid conversation about mental resilience, team camaraderie, and the pursuit of excellence on the international stage.From Colorado's high altitude training grounds to the pristine trails of Europe, Courtney shares the rollercoaster of emotions that define an elite athlete's preparation. "Nothing felt really shiny and nothing felt really good," she admits about her final training block, before describing how arriving in Europe instantly restored her confidence: "The stoke immediately came back because sea level, 60-degree temps, perfect trails... I had a run yesterday and it just all came back and I'm like, yep, you're fit, you're ready."Her recent performances validate that preparation. At the World Cup Finals in Slovenia, Courtney made a pivotal mental shift, deciding to race aggressively from the start rather than working from behind. The result? A breakthrough third-place finish that transformed her self-belief. Similarly, at the A-Basin Cirque Series race, she pushed through early suffering to claim second place, reinforcing valuable lessons about race strategy and recovery.What truly shines through is Courtney's deep appreciation for team culture. She speaks passionately about the pre-World Championships camp organized by teammate Cam Smith, where Team USA members formed meaningful bonds. "There were no egos, everybody was just super excited to get to know each other," she reflects. This team-first mentality extends to her Brooks teammates, who have become her closest friends in the sport. "I literally was tearing up because I didn't know that I was going to sign with you guys and find two of my best friends," she shares, emphasizing that these relationships transcend running achievements.Looking ahead to the World Championships, Courtney's confidence in Team USA is unwavering. "This team, it's just these girls on this team... I couldn't pick a better group of four sub-ultra classic style racers," she declares, believing they have excellent medal potential. With a month in Europe planned after the championships, Courtney's passion for the sport, her teammates, and the adventure of it all promises to carry her through the biggest race of her season.Follow James on IG - @jameslaurielloFollow the Steep Stuff Podcast on IG - @steepstuff_podUse code steepstuffpod for 25% off your cart at UltimateDirection.com! 

On Monday night in New York, European Council President António Costa announced that a majority of EU member states, 16 in numbers, now officially recognise the State of Palestine. The list includes Belgium, Cyprus, Spain, Ireland, Poland, Romania, Sweden, Slovenia, Slovakia, Portugal, Malta, France and Luxembourg. Costa didn't directly call for other countries to follow, but his tone made clear he viewed this as a positive development, without him necessarily pointing that out. Still, the EU remains deeply divided over its reaction to the Gaza war. But what does this recognition mean for Palestinians, for Israel's retaliation, and for the EU countries?Join us on our journey through the events that shape the European continent and the European Union.Production: By Europod, in co production with Sphera Network.Follow us on:LinkedInInstagram Hosted on Acast.

This week on Bad at Sports, Duncan MacKenzie and Ryan Peter Miller find themselves in Chicago with curator Bianca Bova and the indefatigable Kenny Schachter — artist, writer, teacher, collector, and provocateur. What begins as a conversation about Schachter's exhibition at Old Friends Gallery — featuring chicken-assisted artworks and bronze casts forged in Slovenia — quickly expands into a meditation on the art world itself. Schachter reflects on his collaborations, his obsession with foundries, and his refusal to keep resources secret. The group debates the zero-sum mentality of the art market, why artists sabotage themselves, and how absurd projects (sometimes with actual chickens) can be the most serious acts of art-making. Equal parts candid and comedic, the conversation cuts across auctions, art fairs, and the everyday realities of teaching. Expect reflections on generosity vs. gatekeeping, the fragility of the art system, and what it means to make art that is more conceptual than commercial. Highlights • Chickens as collaborators and muses. • The foundry in Slovenia that casts Rudolf Stingel's panels. • Why keeping fabricators secret is a sign of weakness. • Auctions as democratizing, even anarchic, art spaces. • The necessity of art in a divided and compassion-starved world.

World War II in Europe left both victorious and vanquished countries devastated; yet within weeks of the end of hostilities on September 9, 1945, an automobile race was held in Paris' Bois de Boulogne. This presentation addresses the questions: where did the financial and material resources for an active post-war racing program come from, and perhaps even more importantly, why were they expended in what many might regard as a non-essential- or perhaps even frivolous - activity? Skip McGoun is the William H. Dunkak Emeritus Professor of Finance at Bucknell University and was a long-term Visiting Professor at the University of Ljubljana in Slovenia and at the University of Donja Gorija in Montenegro. He has presented and published on the history and culture of finance as well as automobile history and culture and served as Area Chair of the Vehicle Culture Section of the Popular Culture Association. ===== (Oo---x---oO) ===== 00:00 Post-War Racing Revival 01:18 The State of Europe Post-WWII; Early Post-War Races 03:28 The Constructors: Britain vs. The Continent 05:29 Financial and Material Resources 13:14 The Influence of Nationalism and Sentiment 15:34 Adrenaline and the Need for Speed 18:53 Conclusion, Reflections and Q&A Session 27:48 Closing Remarks and Credits ==================== The Motoring Podcast Network : Years of racing, wrenching and Motorsports experience brings together a top notch collection of knowledge, stories and information. #everyonehasastory #gtmbreakfix - motoringpodcast.net More Information: https://www.motoringpodcast.net/ Become a VIP at: https://www.patreon.com/gtmotorsports Online Magazine: https://www.gtmotorsports.org/ This episode is part of our HISTORY OF MOTORSPORTS SERIES and is sponsored in part by: The International Motor Racing Research Center (IMRRC), The Society of Automotive Historians (SAH), The Watkins Glen Area Chamber of Commerce, and the Argetsinger Family. 

What happens when the flames die down? It's a question rarely addressed in fire engineering, yet the decay and cooling phases of fires can be more dangerous than peak fire conditions. In this deep-dive conversation with Dr. Andrea Lucherini from Frisbee at ZAG in Slovenia, we uncover why these overlooked phases matter profoundly for structural safety.Most engineers focus on protecting structures during the fully developed fire phase, but as Dr. Lucherini reveals, catastrophic failures can actually occur during cooling. We discuss a tragic case where seven firefighters died when a concrete structure collapsed, not during the fire's peak, but while they were extinguishing what appeared to be a dying fire. This sobering reality highlights how current testing methods fail to capture real-world risks—standard fire curves never decrease, creating a dangerous blind spot in our understanding.The physics of cooling creates unique challenges for different building materials. Reinforced concrete might reach maximum temperatures in the steel reinforcement during decay rather than during peak fire. Steel structures face destructive tensile forces during contraction that can exceed the compressive forces experienced during heating. Mass timber presents particularly complex behaviour that may never truly enter a cooling phase without proper design considerations.Perhaps most fascinating is how thermal boundary conditions transform as fires decay. When dense smoke thins, radiation patterns change dramatically, creating heat transfer scenarios that standard models fail to capture. These insights aren't just academic—they're essential for performance-based engineering approaches that prioritise realistic structural behaviour throughout a fire's entire timeline.Andrea was kind enough to share these papers with me:- Defining the fire decay and the cooling phase of post-flashover compartment fires: https://doi.org/10.1016/j.firesaf.2023.103965- ⁠Thermal characterisation of the cooling phase of post-flashover compartment fires: https://doi.org/10.1016/j.ijthermalsci.2024.108933- ⁠More information about FRISSBE project and team: https://www.frissbe.eu/ And I can shamelessly plug one of our own: https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/abs/10.1002/fam.2735Cover image from experiments with Danny Hopkin that we have discussed here: https://www.firescienceshow.com/172-lessons-from-mass-timber-experiments-with-danny-hopkin/----The Fire Science Show is produced by the Fire Science Media in collaboration with OFR Consultants.

Benjamin Šeško's story is one of hard work, big dreams, and never giving up. Born in Radeče, Slovenia, he grew up in a football family but refused to play in goal like his dad — instead, he wanted to score goals, not save them. From smashing in wonder strikes as a kid, to scoring 59 goals in just 23 games as a teenager, to making history with Slovenia's national team, Šeško's rise has been nothing short of incredible. This episode of Football For Kids takes you through his inspiring journey: from Red Bull Salzburg to RB Leipzig, to breaking Bundesliga records, and now stepping out at Old Trafford as Manchester United's new striker. ⚽

Kate Adie introduces stories from Gaza, France, the Thailand-Cambodia border, Iraq and Slovenia.Around a million Palestinians have been told to leave Gaza City ahead of a new Israeli offensive - though many are wary of leaving, saying there is nowhere to go. Lucy Williamson was granted rare access to Gaza by the Israeli army, and was taken to see its planned new aid distribution site.Days after French PM, François Bayrou, was ousted from office after losing a confidence vote, street protests took place across France as people voiced anger over proposals to remove two national holidays and impose a pensions freeze. Andrew Harding watched events unfold in Paris.Thailand also has a new prime minister – its third in just over a year - following a political crisis that ignited a short, sudden conflict with Cambodia. Our Southeast Asia Correspondent Jonathan Head has been looking into this catastrophic breakdown of relations.Ten years ago, 71 migrants from Iraq, Syria and Afghanistan died in the back of a refrigerator truck abandoned on a motorway lay-by near the Austrian border with Hungary. Nick Thorpe travelled to northern Iraq to meet relatives of some of those who died - and interviewed the smugglers convicted for their role in their deaths.Slovenia has produced some of the best male cyclists in the world today - including Tadej Pogacar. Every year, the four-time Tour de France champ hosts a cycling festival in his home town of Komenda - and Guy De Launey went along for the ride.Series Producer: Serena Tarling Production Coordinator: Rosie Strawbridge Editor: Richard Fenton-Smith

Aero is... not everything? Forget about the wind tunnel, kammtail tube shapes, and 65mm deep rims because Cervelo's just-released R5 proves that light isn't just right, it's also fun. Alvin has been testing the new climbing-focused R5 and tells us what it's like to ride and why it might make more sense than an objectively faster aero bike, especially if you swap the tires. We headed off-road as Specialized debuted the 4th-generation Diverge gravel bike in Slovenia, and tech editor Josh Ross was there to find out how it performs. He explains all the updates, including room for 2.2" wide tires, its evolved geometry, and why it has an even bigger hole. We also dig into Specialized's decision to spec every model with their Future Shock suspension stem, and how it compares to a heavier and more complex suspension fork. We also discuss the latest updates to the Garmin 550 and 850 computers as well as Garmin's Rally power meter pedals, now available with rechargeable batteries. And last but not least: the Lazer VeloVox begs the question of who among us needs walkie talkies built into their helmets.

Goga Bitadze and Georgia crashed out of EuroBasket, losing to Finland in the quarterfinals. It ends a historic run for that nation. Meanwhile, Franz Wagner just made his 4th consecutive FIBA tournament semifinal, carrying Germany to a win over Luka Doncic's Slovenia. Franz was Germany's best player again, but Tristan da Silva's 3rd quarter buzzer beating halfcourt heave was the spark that swung the game towards their way. Germany will face Finland in the semifinals on Friday. All of that and more! #LetsGoMagic Warning: Adult Language
