Il y a des livres qui te font changer de regard sur le travail. Et puis il y a ceux qui te font changer de regard sur le temps.Pour la deuxième fois, j'ai eu le plaisir de recevoir Laetitia Vitaud dans Lundi au Soleil, à l'occasion de la sortie de son livre L'Atout Âge — 64 clés pour transformer la diversité générationnelle en force.Pendant plus d'une heure, on a parcouru ensemble six chapitres clés du livre, mais surtout une idée centrale : l'âge n'est pas une donnée RH. C'est une expérience humaine. Et les entreprises ont tout à gagner à la regarder autrement.Dans cet épisode, on parle sans détour de :L'agisme qui pénalise particulièrement les femmes, et comment les biais se renforcent avec l'âge.L'intelligence fluide et l'intelligence cristallisée, et pourquoi une équipe performante a besoin des deux.Pourquoi l'entreprise est devenue le dernier espace réellement intergénérationnel, là où famille, loisirs et quartiers se séparent par âge.L'aidance, ce sujet invisible (1 salarié sur 4 !) qui impacte productivité, santé mentale et absentéisme — et des compétences incroyables qu'on ne valorise jamais.Les nouvelles façons de vieillir au travail : retraite progressive, cumul emploi-retraite, hybridation des rôles et sortie douce du temps plein.Les micro-agressions liées à l'âge, souvent inconscientes, toujours toxiques — et comment créer enfin un cadre sain.Ce n'est pas un épisode sur “les seniors”, ni sur “les jeunes”, ni sur “la génération machin”.C'est une conversation sur nos trajectoires, nos corps, nos fragilités, nos moments de vie — et tout ce qu'on peut gagner collectivement à arrêter de penser par cases d'âge.Laetitia est brillante, sensible, drôle, franche.Son livre est nécessaire.Et cet échange, croyez-moi, va résonner longtemps.Créé et produit par MaTribu.ioHébergé par Ausha.

We are back in the studio with Cocktales Chardonnay in our glasses and a lot on our hearts.This week Kiki and Medinah catch you up on everything from Hedonism in Jamaica after Hurricane Melissa to one of the wildest Weird Sex stories we have had in a minute. Kiki shares how the resort staff has been impacted, why she is turning her suitcase into a donation bin, and how you can help if you feel called to give. Medinah talks about Paradise & Vibe's Traveler's Resort family, the fundraiser in Jamaica and why natural disasters hit different when you know the people affected.We also get into robot taxis glitching in Atlanta, Kiki's fever app mock trial experience where the audience decides who is guilty in an AI car accident, and Medinah's grown woman announcements, including her holiday tablescaping class with her interior designer and a full wellness retreat in Istanbul, Turkey.A listener writes in about an ER trauma case where a woman comes in after being hit by a car, gets scanned head to toe, and the entire team discovers a plug sitting pretty on the CT. From toys to MRIs and lying about metal in your body, we take it there.Then the episode takes a tender turn. Medinah opens up about putting her dog Shai down, what led up to that heartbreaking vet visit, the costs, the process and the grief of coming home to an empty hallway, a leash in the car and a quiet house after more than a decade with her best friend. She reflects on a long season of letting go, trusting God, and learning healthier coping mechanisms than she had when she first got Chi.Kiki shares her own life updates too, including a Leo and Teyana Taylor film premiere, more thoughts on AI car trials, using the Fever app to find things to do, and why Atlanta actually has plenty of food and fun if you stop following only the “lit” IG spots. The ladies swap date recommendations like Midtown Social's R&B Bingo, Cirque du Soleil, museums, sushi classes and even ballroom dancing.They close with some real talk about how podcasts and creator work are actually funded, why your subscription, reviews and shares really matter, and how you can support CockTales without going broke in this economy. Plus, Medinah invites listeners to join her for a Meals on Wheels Atlanta volunteer day and reminds anyone struggling that there are resources and community waiting.If you have ever loved a pet like a family member, felt stuck in grief, or just needed a reminder that you can cry and still get cute for a date and a concert, this episode is for you.Interested in being a guest?  Please contact addie@cocktalespod.com and include your information, what makes you an interesting guest, and any relavant links!For all promo codes and links for promotions in the episode, follow this link: https://linktr.ee/cocktalesadsVisit 3rdplanetproducts.com CODE COCKTALES 20 and use code cocktales20 for a discount + free shipping!Promo Code for 20% off a ticket: TABLESCAPE2025WINE & DESIGNhttps://www.eventbrite.com/e/wine-design-hosted-by-brian-christion-madinah-monroe-112225-tickets-1857609192099?aff=oddtdtcreatorVOLUNTEER WITH MEDINAH 11/20https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSdKwE0pjsr38uX9qlRvCJOdHDxJqey1qAxE4vXBIMNLrYr_Bg/viewform?usp=sharing&ouid=101308055207483565674Contact Us!

Le nazisme, bien que fondé sur des idéologies racistes et nationalistes, a également puisé dans des courants ésotériques mystérieux, notamment le symbolisme du “Soleil Noir”. Ce symbole, associé à des traditions occultes et mystiques, a joué un rôle clé dans la construction de l'imaginaire nazi. Quelle influence réelle l'ésotérisme a-t-il eu sur le régime de Hitler et ses partisans ? Plongez dans les arcanes sombres du nazisme et de ses liens avec l'occultisme et le Soleil Noir.Ouvrez la porte des Mystères avec Arcana Podcast !

Interview Date: May 25th,2025Episode Summary:Corynne Barron shares how a late start in dance, a ringette goalie's grit, and a chance UK scholarship reshaped her technique and career trajectory. She walks us through So You Think You Can Dance Canada, cruise ships, and ultimately headlining as the Black Widow in Cirque du Soleil's Mystère. Corynne opens up about saying “no” until the right “yes,” rehabbing a hip surgery, balancing motherhood with teaching and choreographing elite gymnastics floor routines, and the mindset shifts that turn nerves into fuel.

Allumer un feu avec de la glace : l'idée semble absurde, presque magique. Et pourtant, c'est scientifiquement possible. Ce paradoxe repose sur un principe physique fondamental : la lumière du Soleil, concentrée par une lentille transparente, peut enflammer un matériau combustible. Et de la glace bien taillée peut justement servir de lentille.Pour comprendre, il faut d'abord rappeler comment fonctionne une loupe. Lorsqu'un rayon de Soleil traverse un milieu transparent de forme convexe – bombée vers l'extérieur –, il est dévié et concentré en un point précis : le foyer. À cet endroit, l'énergie lumineuse se transforme en chaleur, suffisante pour enflammer du papier, du bois sec ou de l'herbe. La glace peut jouer ce rôle, à condition d'être parfaitement claire et bien polie.Sur le terrain, la méthode demande une rigueur d'artisan. Il faut d'abord trouver de la glace très pure, idéalement issue d'eau claire gelée lentement. Ensuite, on la sculpte en forme de lentille biconvexe : épaisse au centre, plus fine sur les bords. Un morceau d'environ 5 à 7 centimètres d'épaisseur suffit. Puis on polit les faces avec les mains, un tissu ou un peu d'eau, jusqu'à ce qu'elles deviennent translucides comme du verre. Plus la glace est transparente, plus la lumière passera efficacement.Une fois la lentille prête, on l'oriente vers le Soleil, en tenant le morceau de glace à une vingtaine de centimètres d'un petit tas d'amadou : herbe sèche, coton, copeaux de bois. En ajustant la distance et l'angle, on cherche à concentrer la lumière sur un minuscule point lumineux. Là, la température peut grimper à plus de 150 °C, suffisante pour enflammer la matière. Le processus prend du temps : quelques minutes si la lentille est bien formée, parfois plus si la glace contient des bulles ou des impuretés.Cette technique, connue depuis longtemps des trappeurs et popularisée par des survivalistes, illustre parfaitement la puissance des lois optiques. Elle repose sur la réfraction : la déviation de la lumière lorsqu'elle traverse un milieu différent. La glace, comme le verre ou le cristal, plie les rayons et les concentre.Bien sûr, la réussite dépend des conditions : il faut un Soleil fort, une glace très claire et une température extérieure assez basse pour que la lentille ne fonde pas trop vite. Mais le principe reste fascinant : transformer un élément symbole du froid en source de feu. La nature, une fois de plus, prouve que ses lois n'ont rien d'illogique — seulement de surprenant.

Elon Musk remet une pièce dans la machine à rêves technologiques. Le milliardaire, déjà connu pour Tesla et SpaceX, a détaillé son nouveau projet dans plusieurs messages publiés sur X.com. Selon lui, une « vaste constellation de satellites à énergie solaire, dotés d'IA avancées, pourrait prévenir le réchauffement climatique en ajustant la quantité de lumière solaire atteignant la Terre ». Rien que ça.Plutôt que de freiner la course aux IA ultra-énergivores, Musk imagine donc un scénario digne des grandes sagas de science-fiction. Dans cette vision, des structures gigantesques seraient lancées par la fusée Starship et déployées en orbite, où elles capteraient suffisamment d'énergie solaire pour rivaliser avec « des dizaines de centrales nucléaires ». Le tout optimisé par des systèmes d'intelligence artificielle capables, selon lui, de produire jusqu'à 100 gigawatts par an. Et l'entrepreneur ne s'arrête pas là : il imagine déjà une version encore plus monumentale, construite depuis une base lunaire, capable d'atteindre cette fois les 100 térawatts. Une échelle énergétique qui relève aujourd'hui de la science spéculative.Musk pousse aussi son idée sur un terrain encore plus sensible : celui de la géo-ingénierie spatiale. Sa constellation pourrait, théoriquement, moduler le rayonnement solaire pour stabiliser la température de la planète. Une idée inspirée des recherches sur la modification du rayonnement solaire, jugée à la fois prometteuse, risquée et hautement controversée. Le milliardaire affirme qu'« un ajustement minime suffirait à éviter un réchauffement ou un refroidissement global ». Aussi surprenant que cela puisse paraître, Musk n'est pas seul sur ce terrain. Google explore déjà un concept voisin, baptisé en interne Suncatcher, qui viserait à envoyer en orbite des serveurs d'IA alimentés directement par le Soleil, loin des contraintes énergétiques terrestres. Dans cette vision futuriste, Musk évoque carrément l'idée que l'humanité puisse atteindre un jour le « type II » sur l'échelle de Kardashev, celle qui classe les civilisations selon leur capacité à exploiter l'énergie cosmique. Une étape théorique où nous serions capables d'utiliser toute la puissance du Soleil — un pas vers ce que certains comparent à une sphère de Dyson. Hébergé par Acast.

GDP Script/ Top Stories for November 4th Publish Date: November 4th PRE-ROLL: From the BG AD Group Studio Welcome to the Gwinnett Daily Post Podcast. Today is Tuesday, November 4th and Happy Birthday to Puff Daddy I’m Peyton Spurlock and here are your top stories presented by KIA Mall of Georgia. Gas South District to host Gwinnett Glows tree lighting event Dacula teen and Gwinnett business owner join forces to spread warmth and hope this winter Cirque du Soleil’s ‘Luzia’ offers a dreamlike escape All of this and more is coming up on the Gwinnett Daily Post podcast, and if you are looking for community news, we encourage you to listen daily and subscribe! Break 1: 07.14.22 KIA MOG STORY 1: Gas South District to host Gwinnett Glows tree lighting event The Gas South District is kicking off the holiday season with its annual tree lighting on Nov. 21, right in front of the Gas South Convention Center. “Gwinnett Glows,” presented by Amazon, runs from 6 to 9 p.m. and is totally free. Expect food trucks, live entertainment, and all the festive vibes. Oh, and hot cocoa—because what’s a tree lighting without it? They’re also teaming up with Rainbow Village to help families in need. Bring a gift to donate to their Amazon Christmas Wishlist, or donate online if you can’t make it. What else? Handmade crafts, photo ops with the Pink Pig, and performances by local choirs. It’s going to be magical. STORY 2: Dacula teen and Gwinnett business owner join forces to spread warmth and hope this winter   Fifteen-year-old Caden Jackson from Dacula High isn’t your average teenager. For the past decade—yes, since he was five—he’s been collecting coats, hats, gloves, and scarves to help kids stay warm in the winter. Through his nonprofit, Loved & Protected, he’s handed out nearly 9,000 pieces of winter gear to those in need. This year, he’s teaming up with Millie Habtemariam, owner of Full Circle Salon & Spa Suites in Suwanee, for the Winter Warmth Drive 2025. Their goal? Collect 5,000 coats, hats, and gloves by Dec. 31. Habtemariam’s salon is a drop-off spot, and she’s even giving donors a free “manifest candle” she makes herself. For Caden, it’s all about the joy. “Seeing kids’ faces light up when they get a new coat—it’s amazing,” he said. Caden’s dream? To take Loved & Protected nationwide. For more info, visit lovedandprotected.org or fullcirclecandle.com STORY 3: Cirque du Soleil’s ‘Luzia’ offers a dreamlike escape   Olivia Aepli and Terrance Jr. Robinson may be relatively new to Cirque du Soleil’s touring family, but they’re no strangers to the grind of life on the road. So, the chance to stay put for a while? They’re loving it. Both performers are part of “Luzia,” Cirque’s stunning “waking dream of Mexico,” running at Atlantic Station from Nov. 6 to Jan. 25. That’s over 50 shows in one spot—an absolute luxury for these road warriors. “Luzia” is Aepli’s first Cirque show, and she’s living her childhood dream. She plays the running woman, performs swing-to-swing, hoop diving, and even pole dancing. Robinson, a Cirque veteran, appears as a hummingbird and also performs hoop diving and acropole. For tickets, visit cirquedusoleil.com/luzia. We have opportunities for sponsors to get great engagement on these shows. Call 770.874.3200 for more info. We’ll be right back Break 2: Ingles Markets 1 STORY 4: Parkview Grad Matt Olson Wins Third Gold Glove Award Parkview grad Matt Olson just added another piece of hardware to his already impressive career. On Sunday night, the Atlanta Braves’ first baseman snagged the Rawlings Gold Glove Award for the National League—his third overall. Olson beat out Bryce Harper and Spencer Steer for the honor, which was announced live on ESPN. He’s no stranger to this award, having won two Gold Gloves back in 2018 and 2019 with the Oakland A’s. This season? Olson was a rock. He played all 162 games, made just five errors in nearly 1,300 chances. Oh, and he’s now only the second Braves first baseman to win a Gold Glove, joining Freddie Freeman. Drafted straight out of high school by Oakland in 2012, Olson’s journey has been nothing short of remarkable. And now, he’s cementing his legacy with his hometown team. STORY 5: Lawrenceville may add more downtown parking near square If you’ve ever circled downtown Lawrenceville looking for a parking spot—especially during an event at the Lawrenceville Lawn—there might be some relief on the horizon. Maybe. The city just bought two properties on South Perry Street, near the AutoZone, for a combined $835,000. What’s the plan? Well, that’s still up in the air. Assistant City Manager Barry Mock hinted at a possible parking lot, saying the southwest side of downtown could use more spaces. But City Manager Chuck Warbington isn’t ruling out redevelopment either. Meanwhile, the city also snagged a truck repair shop on Reid Street for $300,000. It’s been there for decades, but officials want to “clean up” the area and hold the property for future redevelopment. As for the AutoZone? No plans to buy it—yet. Break 3: STORY 6: Gwinnett's Co-ops bracing for increased demand as SNAP benefits end Jackie Wells Smith, director of the Lilburn Co-op, says they’ve seen a steady uptick in families seeking help, especially seniors and working parents who rely on food stamps to make ends meet. “For these families, losing SNAP is like losing a paycheck,” she said. Other co-ops, like Southeast Gwinnett and North Gwinnett, are scrambling too. North Gwinnett is shifting to a twice-a-month food distribution model to manage demand. Gwinnett County is stepping in with $250,000 to help co-ops handle the surge, but the need is overwhelming. “We’re planning for a 25% increase,” Smith said, “but honestly, I think it’ll be more.” Donations of food, hygiene items, and money are desperately needed. Co-ops are asking the community to step up—because the families coming through their doors have no other options. STORY 7: Aurora Theatre ready to celebrate 30 years of Christmas Canteen Thanksgiving’s still weeks away, but the Aurora Theatre? They’re already decking the halls. Their beloved holiday tradition, *Christmas Canteen*, returns Nov. 28 through Dec. 21, and this year’s show promises something extra special: a horn section joining the orchestra for the first time. Think big, brassy, and festive. Now in its 30th season, *Christmas Canteen* is a high-energy mix of dazzling dance, laugh-out-loud comedy, and music that’ll stick in your head long after the curtain falls. But this year’s show is bittersweet—it’s the final one under the musical direction of Ann-Carol Pence, Aurora’s co-founder. What started in 1996 as a WWII-era tribute has grown into a multigenerational tradition, blending Big Band nostalgia with modern carols, comedy, and heartfelt moments. Tickets are on sale now at auroratheatre.com. Don’t wait—this one’s a holiday must-see.

What if the worst chapters of your life could become the foundation for your greatest impact? In this episode, Michael Dash, entrepreneur, author, and self-described "super connector," shares his remarkable journey from 20 years of addiction and a six-year legal battle to becoming a force for connecting entrepreneurs, building meaningful communities, and helping the formerly incarcerated rebuild their lives. Through two pivotal relationships (his entrepreneurial father and spiritual mentor Soleil Rad), Michael discovered how early business training and a transformed prayer practice could unlock his gift for creating life-changing connections. His mission? Bringing like-minded entrepreneurs together to create exponential impact while building the Impact Accelerator alongside Vince Covino and Satya. Michael reflects on how these mentors shaped his path at critical moments and why he believes authentic relationships and community (not transactional connections) are the keys to transforming both business and life.   [00:04:05] What Michael Does: The Super Connector Describes himself as a "super connector" who finds joy in introducing people from his network Runs Live Life Activated retreats focused on aligning entrepreneurs' physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual practices with their vision Has run six retreats over five years, resulting in three businesses, multiple lasting friendships, and relationships formed among participants Currently working with Vince Covino and Satya building the Impact Accelerator: matching impact-driven entrepreneurs with heart-centered investors [00:11:26] Background: From Recruiting to Retreats Spent 20 years in recruiting and staffing, running his own business for 13 years Natural training ground for being a super connector: "basically what you're doing is matchmaking" Lived in Tulum, Mexico for 4.5 years before recently relocating to Austin, Texas Now focused on the Impact Accelerator: training entrepreneurs to receive funding and matching them with investors who want to make an impact beyond just ROI [00:06:53] Connection Success Story: Winner's Circle Heath & Shelly Winter's Partnership: Heath: Tennessee-based entrepreneur, expert at writing and winning grants Shelly Winter: Served five years in prison for addiction, became #1 salesperson at Microsoft after they initially rescinded her offer due to her record Mission: Helping current inmates train while incarcerated and connecting them with companies willing to hire formerly incarcerated individuals Michael's insight: "Imagine if you were judged your entire life by the worst thing you ever did" Now part of the Impact Accelerator community [00:12:01] The Impact Accelerator Vision Bringing entrepreneurs looking for funding together with impact-driven investors Training entrepreneurs first: MVPs, what to ask for, technical requirements for funding Matching with "heart-centered investors": those who want ROI but also want to make the world better Philosophy: "Take a 10-year plan and make it a three-year plan" through strategic partnerships [00:15:10] The Million Dollar Question: A Key Distinction Michael's Perspective on "Life-Changing" Introductions: Challenges the premise: "I don't believe anybody can change your life except you" "Have I been introduced to people who have shifted my perspective, who have laid out another path that I could travel? Absolutely." Key insight: An experience is only life-changing if you take action afterward "It's really all about what each and every one of us actually does with that experience that can make it life-altering" [00:16:34] Pivotal Person #1: His Father The Entrepreneurial Foundation: Father was an entrepreneur who trained Michael from age 8 Worked in father's retail store and import/export business (collectibles: Swarovski, Baccarat, Waterford, Royal Doulton) Learned about sales, relationships, and "schmoozing" as a child Michael's reflection: "At the end of the day, they did the best with what they had" Their connection was through entrepreneurship and sales [00:19:08] Pivotal Person #2: Soleil Rad The Spiritual Transformation: Met in Tulum, Mexico while Soleil was running men's groups Men's work focused on expressing challenges, confronting shadows, sharing darkest secrets, and celebrating wins Reframed prayer as a partnership with God, not begging "Looking at God as a business partner": giving gratitude, asking for what you want, then showing God you're taking action [00:20:39] The Prayer Practice That Changed Everything Michael's New Approach: Training to be grateful throughout the day: for food, home, even rejections and setbacks "Be grateful the person just turned down the business deal. Be grateful I just got cut off. Be grateful the police pulled me over." Attitude of gratitude that "retrieves" the nervous system Philosophy: Training your vessel to receive the light from God [00:24:23] Kevin's Perspective: The Holy Spirit Connection Being a Vessel: Kevin shares story of Marcus Polls telling him: "This work you do is the Holy Spirit working through you" Realization that super connecting is about allowing yourself to be a vessel "Every conversation I have, I'm just here to be me and be the best steward I can" Partnership with God/Holy Spirit/Universe changes perspective on connecting [00:28:21] The Philosophy of Divine Connections Michael's Belief: "The right people are being brought to me for a reason. I don't need to know the reason now." Flow and keep building without attachment to knowing why Accomplishing more together than any individual can alone [00:30:41] Michael's Book: Chasing the High Chronicles his 20-year addiction journey and six-year legal battle Shares entrepreneurship journey and how he turned his life around Available on Amazon and Audible (Michael narrates the audiobook himself) Fair warning: "If you can handle a Jersey accent for four hours, get it on Audible" [00:31:37] Advice for the Shy: Step Into the Magic For Those Who Hesitate: Fear is what holds back the magic of connection If you're intimidated by someone, that's even MORE reason to introduce yourself Our minds are powerful: we can convince ourselves of anything (good, bad, or ugly) Honor your intuition: If it tells you to speak to someone, go speak to them Opening Questions That Work: Instead of "What do you do?" or "Where are you from?" Try: "What brings you joy in life?" Lead with inquisitive questions, not what you do If you struggle with questions, use ChatGPT for help [00:33:15] The Power of Questions Kevin's Story: At San Diego event, asked someone a question and spent the entire 15-minute break listening Person apologized for not learning anything about Kevin They became very good friends That same trip led to starting the Million Dollar Relationships Podcast KEY QUOTES "I don't believe anybody can change your life except you." - Michael Dash "Looking at God as a business partner." - Michael Dash "The right people are being brought to me for a reason. I don't need to know the reason now." - Michael Dash "Step through that fear because that fear is what holds back the magic." - Michael Dash CONNECT WITH MICHAEL DASH

durée : 00:03:42 - Le Regard culturel - par : Lucile Commeaux - L'autrice argentine fait paraître aux éditions du sous-sol et dans une traduction d'Anne Plantagenet un nouveau recueil de nouvelles intitulé "Un lieu ensoleillé pour personnes sombres". Un livre gothique et fêlé rempli cauchemars, dont la terreur est une consolation.

C'est un phénomène discret mais fascinant : sur certaines îles du Pacifique, notamment en Nouvelle-Calédonie, les pins colonnaires (Araucaria columnaris) semblent tous pencher… dans la même direction. C'est un phénomène discret mais fascinant : sur certaines îles du Pacifique, notamment en Nouvelle-Calédonie, les pins colonnaires (Araucaria columnaris) semblent tous pencher… dans la même direction. Et cette direction n'est pas aléatoire : ils s'inclinent vers l'équateur, qu'ils soient situés dans l'hémisphère Nord ou Sud. Un mystère botanique qui intrigue les scientifiques depuis plusieurs décennies.Ces arbres élancés, qui peuvent atteindre 60 mètres de haut, poussent naturellement droits dans la plupart des conditions. Pourtant, des mesures précises effectuées par une équipe de chercheurs australiens en 2017 (publiées dans Ecology) ont révélé un schéma troublant : plus les pins colonnaires sont éloignés de l'équateur, plus leur inclinaison vers celui-ci est marquée, jusqu'à 8 à 10 degrés. En d'autres termes, un pin situé dans l'hémisphère sud penchera vers le nord, et inversement.Pourquoi ? Plusieurs hypothèses ont été explorées. La première évoque le champ magnétique terrestre, qui pourrait influencer la croissance de ces arbres, un peu comme il guide certains animaux migrateurs. Mais aucune preuve solide ne vient confirmer ce lien. D'autres chercheurs ont pensé à une réponse phototropique, c'est-à-dire à une croissance orientée vers la lumière. Comme la trajectoire apparente du Soleil diffère selon la latitude, les arbres pourraient orienter lentement leur tronc vers la zone où l'exposition solaire est la plus régulière : celle de l'équateur. Cette hypothèse semble la plus plausible, mais elle ne suffit pas à tout expliquer, car d'autres espèces voisines ne présentent pas le même comportement.Une troisième piste concerne la rotation terrestre. Selon certains modèles, la force de Coriolis pourrait influencer la distribution des hormones de croissance (les auxines) dans les tissus végétaux, entraînant une croissance asymétrique du tronc. Ce serait une sorte d'effet “invisible” de la dynamique terrestre sur la biologie des plantes.Les chercheurs de l'université James Cook, en Australie, ont confirmé que cette inclinaison est constante et reproductible, mais son origine exacte reste mystérieuse. Aucun facteur climatique local (vents dominants, sol, humidité) ne permet de l'expliquer complètement.Ainsi, ces pins colonnaires qui s'inclinent avec élégance rappellent que la nature cache encore des énigmes : même dans un monde où les satellites scrutent chaque forêt, un simple arbre peut défier notre compréhension. Et, quelque part dans le Pacifique, des forêts entières continuent de saluer silencieusement le Soleil — toujours en direction de l'équateur. Hébergé par Acast.

À première vue, le Soleil semble être une boule de feu parfaitement uniforme. Mais observé de près, à l'aide de filtres spéciaux, sa surface révèle des zones sombres : les taches solaires. Ces marques, visibles depuis la Terre depuis plus de quatre siècles, intriguent encore les astrophysiciens. Elles ne sont pas des “trous” dans le Soleil, mais les symptômes spectaculaires de son activité magnétique.Des zones plus froides, donc plus sombresLe Soleil est une immense sphère de gaz en fusion, animée de mouvements de convection : la matière chaude remonte, la froide redescend. Ces mouvements génèrent des champs magnétiques puissants, qui peuvent se tordre et s'entremêler. Lorsque ces champs deviennent trop intenses, ils perturbent la circulation de la chaleur à la surface, dans la région appelée photosphère.Résultat : certaines zones se refroidissent légèrement, passant d'environ 5 800 °C à 3 800 °C. Cette différence de température suffit à les rendre visiblement plus sombres que leur environnement. C'est ce contraste thermique qui crée l'illusion d'une “tache noire”, même si ces régions continuent à émettre énormément de lumière et d'énergie.Un phénomène magnétique cycliqueLes taches solaires n'apparaissent pas au hasard. Elles suivent un cycle de 11 ans, au cours duquel l'activité magnétique du Soleil croît puis décroît. Au maximum solaire, des dizaines, voire des centaines de taches peuvent parsemer sa surface ; au minimum, elles disparaissent presque totalement.Ce cycle s'accompagne d'autres manifestations spectaculaires : éruptions solaires et éjections de masse coronale, capables de projeter dans l'espace des milliards de tonnes de particules. Ces événements, liés aux zones où les champs magnétiques se reconnectent, peuvent perturber les communications, les satellites et même les réseaux électriques sur Terre.Un miroir de la santé du SoleilLes taches solaires servent aujourd'hui d'indicateurs précieux pour les scientifiques. En les observant, on mesure l'évolution du champ magnétique solaire, la rotation différentielle de l'étoile et la dynamique de son plasma interne.Historiquement, leur étude a aussi permis de grandes découvertes : dès le XVIIe siècle, Galilée les utilisait pour prouver que le Soleil tournait sur lui-même. Aujourd'hui, grâce aux sondes spatiales comme Solar Orbiter ou Parker Solar Probe, les chercheurs cartographient leur structure en trois dimensions.En somme, les taches solaires sont les pulsations visibles du cœur magnétique du Soleil — des fenêtres sur les forces colossales qui animent notre étoile et rythment la vie de tout le système solaire.

ÉPISODE 62 - Je reçois l'astrologue Sorcier Soleil (William Côté) pour discuter des signes astrologiques connus des personnages et s'ils collent bien avec ce que l'on sait d'eux.

From the underground industrial scene to the bright lights of pop stardom — and all the unexpected turns in between — Stella Soleil's story is one of reinvention, resilience, and raw creativity. The Chicago native first made her mark working alongside icons like Ministry, Die Warzau, and 16 Volt before forming Sister Soleil, catching the attention of Universal Records, and landing a Top 40 hit with “Kiss Kiss.” Her voice would go on to be heard around the world — featured in Kiss the Girls, Underworld: Awakening, and even climbing international charts in multiple languages. After a successful run in A&R and a powerhouse return to the stage as frontwoman of Dirty Little Rabbits with Slipknot's Shawn Crahan, Stella has once again found herself back where it all began — chasing the creative spark. Her latest project revisits the long-shelved single “HELLO,” now reimagined with producer John Fryer and a dream team of collaborators, signaling a bold new chapter in her ever-evolving journey. In this episode, Stella joins Mike for an honest and inspiring conversation about the highs, the heartbreaks, and the magic that keeps her making music on her own terms.

Anne Ghesquière reçoit l'écrivain et dramaturge Éric-Emmanuel Schmitt, l'un des auteurs francophones les plus lus au monde. Que nous reste-t-il des anciens royaumes ? Comment concilier le monde matériel et le monde spirituel ? Les âmes traversent-elles le temps ? Comment guérir les mémoires anciennes ? Éric-Emmanuel Schmitt interroge les frontières entre visible et invisible, transmission et sagesse des druides et le message subversif de Jésus, un homme qui prêchait l'amour et l'égalité entre tous. Entre Histoire et mystère, il explore la tension féconde entre les deux royaumes, celui de la matière et celui de l'esprit, et nous invite à retrouver le sens du sacré dans un monde désenchanté. Le 5ème tome de son odyssée historique La Traversée des Temps, intitulé Les Deux Royaumes est publié chez Albin Michel.

C'est ce matin que le colonel Randjianirina a été investi président de la Refondation de la République de Madagascar à Antananarivo. Sous l'œil critique de la presse malgache, qui ne cache pas ses interrogations, si ce n'est son pessimisme. « À l'allure où vont les choses, estime l'Express de Madagascar, le courage et la volonté de la GenZ (…) risquent d'être vains (...) outre les revendications sur l'eau et l'électricité, la GenZ voulait changer tout le système politique et la gestion du pays. Or, il est clair qu'elle ne dirige plus la manœuvre et est en train de se faire doubler par les politiciens et les syndicats. La GenZ doit être le leader des décisions et des négociations avec les membres de la Refondation de la République de Madagascar. Toutefois, c'est loin d'être le cas. » Mais rien n'est perdu. C'est en tout cas le point de vue de Madagascar Tribune, selon laquelle « il n'est pas trop tard ». « La Gen Z, forte de ses dernières orientations, doit arriver à parler d'une voix forte et cohérente sur les exigences de sa feuille de route et agir en « garde-fous », car ce n'est pas ce qui manque dans le contexte actuel », ironise Madagascar Tribune. Le journal estime ainsi « que la Gen Z doit agir comme une balise permanente et un lanceur d'alerte s'il n'y a pas de véritable amélioration des pratiques politiques, ou bien encore en cas de dérives et dérapages ». Quelle légitimité ? « La marge de manœuvre de la Refondation de la République de Madagascar, estime ainsi l'Express, semble limitée, entre le désir de tenir les promesses et les revendications sociales des manifestants et les contraintes politiques de toutes parts ». Le journal craint que « l'on retombe fatalement dans les erreurs de 2009 », année lors de laquelle Andry Rajoelina prit le pouvoir. Madagascar Tribune s'interroge, de son côté, expliquant que « l'une des pages Facebook les plus suivies à Madagascar s'est longtemps appelé Tout Sauf Andry Rajoelina ». « Cette posture était légitime en raison des abus du clan politico-mafieux au pouvoir. La question qui se pose maintenant est de réfléchir sur ce "tout" : cela veut-il dire n'importe qui en termes de personnalités, et n'importe quoi en termes de processus ? », précise le journal.  Livre Blanc « C'est hier, que le président Bassirou Dimaye Faye a reçu au Palais de la République le livre blanc sur le massacre de Thiaroye, survenu le 1er décembre 1944 » relate Sénégo. Pour rappel, des tirailleurs africains qui réclamaient leurs soldes de démobilisation ont été massacrés par l'armée française le 1er décembre 1944. Et pour Bassirou Diomaye Faye, précise Dakar Matin, « le Livre Blanc est une étape décisive dans la réhabilitation de la vérité historique ». Toutefois, le président sénégalais a fait part « d'une certaine amertume concernant la coopération attendue de la République française dont la mise à disposition des archives n'a pas toujours été à la hauteur de nos espérances ». Il a par ailleurs « validé la poursuite d'une fouille archéologique sur tous les sites susceptibles d'abriter une fosse commune », précise le Soleil. Il faut dire que 81 ans plus tard, il n'y a pas de consensus entre la France et le Sénégal sur le nombre de victimes de ces massacres. Le Sénégal estime les victimes beaucoup plus nombreuses que ce que reconnaît la France. 

En 1952, le philosophe et écrivain britannique Bertrand Russell publie un article resté célèbre dans lequel il imagine un objet improbable : une petite théière en porcelaine qui flotterait quelque part dans l'espace, en orbite autour du Soleil, entre la Terre et Mars. Invisible aux télescopes les plus puissants, cette théière serait indétectable. Et pourtant, explique Russell, si quelqu'un affirmait son existence sans pouvoir la démontrer, ce ne serait pas à ses contradicteurs de prouver qu'elle n'existe pas. C'est bien à celui qui avance une affirmation extraordinaire qu'il revient d'en apporter la preuve.Cette image, connue sous le nom de « théière de Russell », est devenue un argument philosophique majeur dans le débat entre croyance et scepticisme. Ce que Russell cherchait à illustrer, c'est le renversement du fardeau de la preuve. Trop souvent, dit-il, on demande aux sceptiques de démontrer que Dieu n'existe pas. Or, selon lui, c'est l'inverse qui devrait être exigé : à ceux qui affirment l'existence d'une divinité de fournir les preuves de ce qu'ils avancent. Sa théière spatiale sert donc de métaphore ironique : absurde mais logique, elle met en évidence la difficulté de réfuter une affirmation invérifiable.La portée de cette parabole va bien au-delà de la théologie. Elle s'applique à de nombreux domaines : les pseudo-sciences, les théories du complot, ou encore les affirmations extraordinaires dans les débats publics. Chaque fois qu'une idée invérifiable est présentée comme une vérité, on peut se rappeler l'enseignement de Russell : l'absence de preuve ne constitue pas une preuve d'existence.La comparaison a également marqué la culture populaire et la vulgarisation scientifique. On retrouve la théière de Russell évoquée dans des discussions sur l'agnosticisme, l'athéisme ou encore dans des manuels de logique. Elle est parfois rapprochée du fameux rasoir d'Occam, ce principe qui recommande de préférer l'explication la plus simple quand plusieurs hypothèses sont possibles.En résumé, la « théière de Russell » est une métaphore provocatrice qui rappelle une règle essentielle du raisonnement critique : ce n'est pas à celui qui doute de prouver son doute, mais à celui qui affirme de justifier son affirmation. Une petite théière imaginaire, lancée dans le vide spatial, pour rappeler que la charge de la preuve n'est pas un détail, mais le cœur même de toute démarche rationnelle. Hébergé par Acast.

Pendant des décennies, Pluton a été la neuvième planète de notre système solaire. Découverte en 1930 par l'astronome américain Clyde Tombaugh, elle figurait dans tous les manuels scolaires. Mais en 2006, coup de théâtre : l'Union astronomique internationale (UAI) décide de la rétrograder, et Pluton cesse officiellement d'être une planète. Pourquoi ?Tout part d'une définition. Jusqu'au début du XXIᵉ siècle, le terme « planète » n'était pas vraiment défini de façon rigoureuse. Les astronomes s'en tenaient surtout à l'usage. Mais les progrès de l'observation ont compliqué les choses. À partir des années 1990, on découvre dans la ceinture de Kuiper — une région glacée aux confins du système solaire — de nombreux corps célestes comparables à Pluton. Le plus marquant fut Éris, découvert en 2005, légèrement plus massif que Pluton. Si Pluton était une planète, fallait-il alors en ajouter des dizaines d'autres ?L'UAI a donc tranché. En 2006, elle adopte une définition précise d'une planète :1. Elle doit orbiter autour du Soleil.2. Elle doit être suffisamment massive pour prendre une forme sphérique, sous l'effet de sa gravité.3. Elle doit avoir « nettoyé » son orbite, c'est-à-dire être dominante et avoir éliminé les autres objets de taille comparable autour d'elle.Pluton remplit les deux premiers critères, mais pas le troisième. Son orbite est encombrée : elle croise celle de Neptune et partage son espace avec d'autres corps de la ceinture de Kuiper. Elle n'est donc pas « maîtresse » de son environnement. Résultat : Pluton perd son statut de planète.Depuis, elle est classée parmi les planètes naines, au même titre qu'Éris, Cérès ou Makémaké. Cela ne la rend pas moins intéressante, bien au contraire. En 2015, la sonde New Horizons a révélé un monde complexe, avec des montagnes de glace, une atmosphère fine et peut-être un océan sous sa surface.La controverse n'a pourtant pas disparu. De nombreux astronomes et une partie du public continuent de considérer Pluton comme une planète « de cœur ». Pour beaucoup, cette décision illustre la tension entre la rigueur scientifique et l'attachement populaire.En résumé, Pluton n'a pas quitté notre système solaire : elle y brille toujours, mais son titre a changé. Ce qui a disparu, ce sont nos certitudes, remplacées par une vision plus nuancée et plus riche de ce qu'est une planète. Hébergé par Acast. Visitez acast.com/privacy pour plus d'informations.

I'm your host, Anne Ganguzza, along with my awesome superpower co-host Lollapetas.  00:56 - Lau (Guest) Hello, Annie, it's so good to be back. I love being in this Zoom room with you. Or it's not Zoom, but it's Riverside, but I love being in this space room with you. Or it's not Zoom, but it's Riverside, but I love being in this space with you, I know I look forward to it.  01:10 - Anne (Host) We get to see each other and it's been so long it's fabulous when we get back together because we have so much to catch up on. I know, I know oh my gosh.  01:19 - Lau (Guest) By the way, I love your outfit today. You look great.  01:23 - Anne (Host) Why thank you my, my jean shirt or my denim shirt? No, what's really cool about this is this is kind of well, I should say it's it's. It's deceiving, maybe because it looks like it's denim but it's actually like French Terry, and so it's super, super comfortable. But you know, speaking of jeans, I was going to say what color are your jeans.  01:50 Well, you know, I have good jeans and advertising campaigns for our businesses. I mean gosh, it's all over the news. I mean the American Eagle campaign with Sydney Sweeney. I mean, you know, she's got good jeans, and so it's a really interesting debate. I think it's something that we could absolutely relate to our own voiceover businesses in terms of associating with now, first of all, like associating with a brand that may or may not be controversial or may or may not be on the side of you know where your feelings align. I think that would be a really, really interesting topic.  02:30 - Lau (Guest) Lau I love that topic because we hear that word floating in the industry now for quite a while branding. Branding is connected to marketing, is connected to selling right and how you represent yourself and who you're connected to. That helps you represent yourself as well. And making some of those concerted decisions on who you want to be attached to and connected to, that really help you design your ethos of your business.  02:58 - Anne (Host) Well, they can help you. They can help you be successful in the industry, or maybe not. They can help you be controversial in the industry, or maybe not. They can help you be controversial in the industry. It's such an interesting. Now you know one thing about that campaign for me, when I first saw it, I didn't think anything of it, because I am a woman of a certain age and I remember the Jean campaign with Brooke Shields and Calvin Klein, and I just remember it, with Brooke Shields and Calvin Klein, and I just remember it, you know. And so, as a girl in, I think it was in elementary or high school. I can't remember when that came out, but it was the 80s, right? All I know is that I wanted a pair of Calvin Klein jeans because I wanted to look like Brooke Shields. Now today, didn't we all did not we Right?  03:41 No, I thought nothing of it, right, I thought nothing really horrible of it. But then it did become controversial because obviously she was, you know, she was young when she did that ad and it was a little bit sexually, you know, promiscuous, some people would say. And so, you know, today that type of advertising wouldn't fly and I think people are comparing Sydney Sweeney with that, because of she's got good genes, you've got an attractive female and a pair of jeans, and you know, of course, american Eagle says you know, it was always all about the genes, it's not always not about the, not about the misconception that jeans J-E-A-N-S is similar to G-E-N-E-S, so there's a lot to unpack there.  04:25 I don't know how did you react to it when it first came out? What were your thoughts?  04:29 - Lau (Guest) Well, you know what's so funny about the Brooke Shields thing that you bring up? That's the first thing I thought of is that everyone who's outraged about it is not old enough to remember the Brooke Shields and that's what they were really copying. I think that was a copycat from 45 years ago Going back to the old let's sell.  04:45 Yeah, but if you remember, annie, it was there was another controversy hooked on to Brooke Shields at that time, based on that commercial, because that was right around the time that she had shot Blue Lagoon, blue Lagoon, yeah, and she was only like 11, 11 or 12.  05:05 - Anne (Host) I think it was 13.  05:05 - Lau (Guest) Well, by that time she was about 13. But she was still very young and the mother was managing her and so there was a huge blowup and controversy about this young girl doing these so-called sexually explicit commercials about my sexuality and my body, about my sexuality and my body. And I remember thinking, and when I saw it again I thought wow, how did she get those jeans on without showing us anything, right in front of us, Like I was amazed and, as a young girl, I yeah, it was a Cirque du Soleil act.  05:35 It was amazing. Yeah, you know, as a young girl, media is so influential right.  05:41 - Speaker 2 (Announcement) So, influential.  05:41 - Anne (Host) The thing is that, as voice actors, we really have a part in playing into the media, right, because our voices are representing brands, and for me at the time, I didn't consider anything wrong with it. All I know is that I wanted to look like Brooke Shields in those jeans and therefore I wanted the jeans. And I'll tell you what it was an expressly popular campaign that made Calvin Klein a ton of money, a ton of money.  06:09 - Lau (Guest) But if you look at it now as an adult and you listen from a voiceover perspective, her voice was very, very young very kidlike and very straightforward. She was trying to be, if anything, a little bit smart or intellectual versus overly sexy and centralized, but yet the perception, the visual right Was that was that.  06:34 - Anne (Host) That's exactly it. So there's a lot of, there's a lot of things there, and if you were the voice of a campaign that was controversial, right would. If it was something you believed in or didn't believe in, is that something that, as a voice actor, would you accept? And I think, or an actor, I mean any kind of role right? Do you accept those roles if they align with your belief system or your morals or your ethics or whatever that is, and how can it propel your business forward or not?  07:07 I mean, there's just so much that we have choices in, and as well as influence in, as voice actors, and we think sometimes we're hiding behind this microphone, but no, we're still a very intricate part of a media campaign. And so, really, as a voice actor, how do you decide? Really, is you know, oh, this could really propel my campaign if I decide that I want to align with this brand and be the voice of it, or sometimes it's not even about being the voice of it. It's maybe working with that brand in any capacity. You know, how is that going to affect your business? Because people have opinions, people always have opinions, and gosh aren't they all over the place.  07:56 - Lau (Guest) Now that social media is prevalent, they're the Wild West we like to call it right, Annie, it's the Wild West.  07:59 And I would say in my mind it's likened to all the people, not just women but men too. In my mind it's likened to all the people, not just women but men too, but certainly all the women, who have said for many years you know, I am interested in doing romance novels, exotica work, triple X, adult swim as a voiceover talent, but I'm concerned about how my business is going to be viewed. I'm going to use an AKA, an alter ego, another name, another business name, and so I think that voiceover talent have been making these decisions for a very, very long time. Even though we don't have the visuals for the voiceover talent, we may have the visual for the work and so for the work itself may give visuals and vocals that are not aligned with the talent's vision of their business, and sometimes you don't even know.  08:49 - Anne (Host) Sometimes you don't even know, right. I mean you can tell a lot by the context of the script sometimes, but sometimes you can. You don't know where that's going to end up. And again, now that makes me think of, like, you know deep fakes and AI and you don't know where your voice is going to be used. But if you are, you know, an active participant and you are aware, I think really the best thing you can do if these things are concerning to you, right, the more you know, the more you're educated, the better off you're going to be, because you can make those decisions to determine if you want to be aligned.  09:24 I mean there have been careers ruined by, you know, wrong brand alignment, and gosh knows with today's you know political climate. I mean it comes down to and you know what, laura, it comes down to if you think about it. We're in a business. We need to make money, right, and guess what? So are companies that are advertising, right. They're in the business to make money and so a lot of times our decisions are based on money. Yeah.  09:52 - Lau (Guest) Wake up, smell the coffee right, and it's like who is to judge what one person or one brand identity or one company should or shouldn't be doing. It's really in the eyes and ears of the audience. It's really the perception. So, as many people really disagree, fervently disagree and are angered and outraged by that particular American Eagle campaign, you have a mass swath of people who are buying everything.  10:24 - Anne (Host) That gene that she is, they can't keep. I'm just saying or buying everything that gene, that gene that they can't keep it on the proverbial shelf Exactly.  10:29 Right, Exactly so yeah, and it's interesting because I read a couple of. I read a couple of articles about it and they, of course, american Eagle says it's all about the genes. It's always been about the genes and in reality it kind of is like a return back to marketing. You know, marketing for the last few years has been very concerned with, of course, the shift, notice how the shift in cultural trends, right to making sure inclusivity, diversity, you know, every body type is shown and everybody is represented, which I thought was great. I mean I love that. But apparently, like, if you're in the business, I mean, did it sell? I thought it did.  11:09 Personally, I aligned with it better and I bought, I consumed, just like I did before. However, there is a a huge, there's a huge another aspect to this to unpack, about influencers, right, I mean, in reality, I mean she's a famous actress, right, and so just like Brooke Shields. So if she's going to wear these jeans and feel good in them and look good in them, then that's going to really entice other people to buy and you know, or not, right? And If they, I mean how many times? Lau and I I have very strong ideas about like companies and what they do with their money. So like if they're known to, you know, I don't know, do bad things. I will not support of things that companies do behind the scenes and therefore, when I do find out, I then have a choice, to make a decision whether I want to consume that, you know, buy that or not. And I think that, again, as a consumer and as a voice actor, the more educated we can be, the better decisions we can make to determine if we want to align with that.  12:21 - Lau (Guest) I would totally agree and I would say the irony to me about talking about influencers online is why are they called influencers? Yeah, yeah, they're called influences because they have powerful influence over mass swaths of people who want to look like them, sound like them, live like them, whatever. Of people who want to look like them, sound like them, live like them, whatever. So if we were to make a value judgment, we would have to make it evenly across the board between network television and social media and voiceover and radio and TV, that that is just a no-go, which, of course, no one's going to do. We're not going to do that because you know it's a free country and people are going to run their businesses how they run their businesses girls on Instagram to get that facelift or to get those eyebrows or to get those lash extensions, to feel good about who they are.  13:27 - Anne (Host) Well, oh no, okay, you bring up a really important point here, right To feel good about who you are. So what I do because you know I do a little bit of fashion influencing- I know you are an influencer, actually.  13:39 - Lau (Guest) My well, oh my goodness, put your influencer hat on.  13:42 - Anne (Host) So my influencer hat is and I've been, I've been multiple sizes, I've been big and I've been small, right, I mean, I don't know, I've never considered myself small, but that's a whole nother podcast. So, depending on the size right, I followed different influencers. I found and for the most part, if you think about it, when I was a little bit bigger, I had an influencer who I loved her because she was bigger and she was confident and she was beautiful. And I said, gosh, if I could just be confident. And you know, and as a matter of fact, people in my life I've known, I'm like gosh, she's bigger and she's confident. I wish I could be confident like that. I could be confident like that. And then when I, when I started to lose weight, then I it's funny because I switched, following the one influencer who her body type was a little bit bigger, to an influence it was a little bit more my, my body type size, or maybe even smaller, because it was then helpful, it was motivating for me, or inspiring to me.  14:36 And so, in reality and in every instance, right, the influencer made me feel better about myself. Right, I was either motivated or inspired. To well, people are going to say it might be healthy if you say, oh, I want to look like them. But in reality, when it came to my weight, my body size, it was more about becoming healthy. I needed to become healthy, right. And yeah, the clothes were pretty. I didn't have that option with these clothes at this particular size. So, yeah, there was something inspirational and motivational. And then there was the girl who I still follow. She's a bigger girl who is just beautiful at whatever size she's at, and it's really the message that she's saying. That's really the most important thing.  15:17 - Lau (Guest) But I have a question about that, annie, and I know we're getting a little farther away from the voiceover aspect, but from a performance and business aspect, voiceovers need to be thinking about all of this and how you represent your brand and how you think about what you do. Well, absolutely, my question is you have a lot of these people, including, like Lizzo, for instance she was the first one that came to my mind, yeah who made it very public that they lost a ton of weight and that they are very happy they did that and very happy that they're healthier and very happy at whatever they're at.  15:51 - Anne (Host) Yeah.  15:52 - Lau (Guest) So it makes you question well, wait a second, is this for branding sake, to have those brands out there because they know, like a big part of the population is, say, has a certain look or a certain size or a certain sound? Well, yeah, the biggest demographic, the biggest demographic, right? Yeah, versus the reality of the person actually feeling good in their life, I'm going to argue that they're performers and they're performing and that many of them don't feel good about some of the choices they've made in their life and therefore they go and change it. Or their company representatives say you need to change this brand because it is not resonating with the majority of our audiences and we will never know.  16:38 Never know how much influence comes from which direction. We will really not know, that right.  16:44 - Anne (Host) Absolutely. I mean and again this is I mean for bosses out there if you think we're going off topic, in reality we're not, because we're not talking about marketing and advertising, which directly affects us. I mean, that's where we I mean our voices are representing brands that have fluctuations in the way that they advertise and in the way that they market their products, and it's important for us to understand where it's headed, where the trends are and really what is it that matters. And then, what is it that matters to you as an actor, being a part of that campaign, resonating with a brand that may or may not be controversial? Right, Brands change.  17:26 - Lau (Guest) This is where you have to forgive yourself they shift and change trends over time, because that's the natural state of being a human being, is that you age, you change, trends change whatever. Another one that comes to my mind one of my favorite original rappers and then became actress was Queen Latifah. Yeah, yeah. Who I loved for so many reasons. Yeah she's awesome Right.  17:50 - Speaker 2 (Announcement) Rubenesque woman beautiful woman.  17:52 - Lau (Guest) Well, she went on a whole campaign I can't remember what it was, whether it was Jenny Craig or Nutrisystem or whatever it was, but she became the brand ambassador of them to lose weight and she had trouble doing it and she never reached the target weight. When she didn't, they dropped her. Yeah, yeah, okay. So my point is was that her and it made you feel like, it made me feel like you know, when you use Tide or use a laundry detergent and then, all of a sudden, you've been using it and it's been good for years, and then it's like no, all new developed. You think, what have I been using that whole time? It wasn't really good. That's how it made me feel.  18:31 - Anne (Host) Well influencing you know and marketing advertising, influencing in their way influencing right as opposed to, and I think that's why influencers became really popular, because it was real people, it wasn't companies. Well, it was the illusion of real people, right?  18:47 Well, they are real people Right right, oh look, I'm not being paid for this but a lot of times, influencers, they get a little bit of a cut. I mean I, you know, hey, I got a little bit of a cut. I'm encouraged to, you know, try this top or this, you know, this pants set or whatever, and then talk about it so that I can get a little bit of a break or a deal. But I creatively love to curate outfits and, to be quite honest, the amount of time I spend at this point because I don't do it full time the amount of time that I spend, you know, putting together videos and stuff, it takes a lot of time. That's my, that's like a, that's a day of my weekend in reality, and I don't make I don't make half as much money as I do when I'm doing voiceover. So for me that's just like a passion project.  19:31 But what is it that voice actors you know need to do? I mean, I think that you either don't realize that you are an intrinsic part of a brand that could or could not be, you know, I mean, you probably know if they're controversial. It's the same thing with political voiceover, Right, we talked about this like not so long ago. What's you know? Are you on a particular side of the fence? Are you? Is your voice, your voice being speaking things that align with your, what you believe in and your morals and your ethics? Or are you just voicing things to make money, because it happens to be something that pays the bills?  20:09 - Lau (Guest) Right and really paying attention to what your audience is identifying your value as. Like I can come in and say, well, I'm going to provide this, I'm going to do this, but I may not have the calling for that. I have to pay attention. Where is the calling of the audience?  20:27 And then go to the. If I want to go to the full extent of that brand, give them awareness of what it is, awareness of my, you know, professionalism, my ethos in it. Whatever that is, it's not always what I'm starting out to be is what it's going to be. I see that all the time like a mismatch of brand knowledge. Someone would say, well, I do this all the time, I play this all the time and I say, right, but what are you being hired for? What you're being hired for might be very different than what you do in your side life.  21:01 - Anne (Host) And if you think about it, like if you align yourself with a style of voiceover that is, you know, has a message, right, that may or it on levels with brands that I've been associated with, where, if you're not careful and you know I mean with the VO Boss podcast, right, if you're not careful people will associate you with those brands as well, and you know that can be detrimental to your career, to your livelihood, and that is something it's sometimes. It's not an easy decision. It's not an easy decision to make. It's not an easy decision.  21:42 - Lau (Guest) It's not an easy decision to make. It's not an easy decision. You have to realize you're performing a part. So whenever you are in that what I call the awareness zone that's like the industry awareness of who you are Like I feel like I play two parts. One is the real person in the larger world, who may or may not know me, and then the person, the mama, who knows me, who people know me in the larger world, who may or may not know me, and then the person, the mama, who knows me, who people know me in the industry. And when I play that role, I know I'm always to some degree on, you're always on and having that awareness that there is a performance value to what you do. How?  22:15 - Anne (Host) interesting because your brand, since I've known you, has evolved into Mama Lau, which you know what I mean. Because I want to say it's because I started calling you Mama Lau, because that's what I called my mother, and then it turned into Mama Lau, but now as Mama Lau, known as Mama Lau in the industry. Right, you now need to be considerate of. Okay, what does this brand speak about me? And if you were to do something, that would not be Mama Lau.  22:42 - Lau (Guest) Right, so I'm not going to go to Vegas and become a stripper anytime soon. Are you going to?  22:47 - Anne (Host) be an erotic. I mean, would you be an erotica audiobook narrator? I mean, well, maybe not under Mama Lau but, here, you are here you are with. Unless you're going to be a character voice, right, here you are, I know your voice. And unless you're going to be a character voice and I don't recognize that voice, right, our voices are recognizable.  23:07 I mean, some of us have immediately, like I know, this person's voice from you know long you know, far, far away, I can tell that voice and I have that with some of my students that have distinctly unique voices, right, I'm thinking they probably can't go into you know erotica character work if they don't want to know other people to know about it. Yes, you know, if you want other people to know about it, that's fine. But for you, under that brand, you have to. There's a responsibility to that brand, right?  23:34 - Lau (Guest) Yes, there is.  23:34 - Anne (Host) In what you do. It reminds me of. It reminds me of oh my gosh, who was it? Who was it? He was a comedian. He was fired in 2011 due to offensive tweets he made about the Japan earthquake and the tsunami. And it is, oh my gosh, gilbert Gottfried. There you go.  23:50 - Lau (Guest) Oh wow, how could we not?  23:52 - Anne (Host) remember that, yes. I know right Gilbert Gottfried.  23:55 - Lau (Guest) I didn't know that.  23:56 - Anne (Host) Yeah, oh yeah, and it was. It was. That was, I think, when it first, at least when I was in the industry, when it first became evident that social media and what you do outside of your job in voice acting, will have a direct effect, if it's offensive enough, right On your job. And you know, nowadays people have to be careful on social media what they're posting. And because companies can now go check out your social media, because companies can now go check out your social media, and so for you as a voice actor, again, it has to come to mind that if you are known, or if you are known in social media, now your actions, if people were to look you up on social media and find that you're associated with a brand or find that you are, you've done something that I don't know is not something that aligns with their ethics right, it can affect your business.  24:52 - Lau (Guest) So in a way, annie, it's kind of like we're blurring the lines of our real reality of living a life as a person, with our business and our performance career, that there is kind of that expectation that you sort of represent it all of your life, all of your life, and you're not going to go through anything. That's antithetical to that image that is being put out there, which I mean. For me it's easy because I'm kind of like, I'm a mama type anyway, but for the average person I think that would be hard, that would be a challenge.  25:27 Mama Lau as mama Lau would not go to a Coldplay concert and get yourself caught on the probably not. I'd be the person standing outside with food, waving my hand, going what did you do in there? What did you do?  25:37 - Anne (Host) And we should bring that up, because yet there's another like CEO of you know, of a company, and then the director of HR, the director of the people I forget what they call it now. I'm like director of HR, no people, ceo of people. Forgive me for not knowing what her title was. She was HR, wasn't she?  25:55 - Lau (Guest) The head of HR. Yes, Like top HR, you know? Executive.  26:00 - Anne (Host) I think PMO is a people. I forget what it is, but anyways, see it, you know. So, really, if you think about it, what did that do those actions do to the brand? Right To the brand. Yes, they say all all, what is it? All publicity is good publicity, but do you think that this was good publicity for the company?  26:24 - Lau (Guest) No, no, I don't either. I don't think there was any redeeming value to that and that felt to me it could have been happenstance, but it felt like a setup. It felt like someone tipped someone off to put them on the jumbotron.  26:37 - Anne (Host) Oh interesting, I didn't think that it didn't just feel random.  26:40 - Lau (Guest) There was like, like, how many people were there?  26:44 - Anne (Host) 50,000? I don't know. I think I, I didn't think it, I don't think they were set up, I mean, unless you have somebody in the company that's like. Well, I mean, first of all you have to, you have to know the person that's, you know, focusing on the Jumbotron and say, oh my God, wouldn't it be funny if you know I hate that guy or whatever? But think about it?  27:01 - Speaker 2 (Announcement) I don't know.  27:02 - Anne (Host) Your actions in life right can be directly affected these days because of social media, because of the now back in the day when I had to walk to school 10 miles up a hill in the snow. When there wasn't social media, it was a little easier to get away with, I would say, indiscretions like that.  27:24 - Lau (Guest) But now, maybe even now with being a voiceover talent. You've got that anonymity to some degree.  27:31 - Anne (Host) But not as much anymore. I'm saying not as much anymore, remember, because voice actors, we're all about social media, aren't we? Because, guess what we need to get work and what are we doing? We're trying to showcase're all about social media, aren't we? Because guess what we need to get work and what are we doing? We're trying to showcase our brand on social media, and when you do that, you really have to be prepared for repercussions. If you are going to voice a campaign, associate yourself with a brand that may be controversial, and you know something that is a concern for your business. That may not have been so much of a concern maybe 20, 30 years ago.  28:06 - Lau (Guest) It's true, because I think with probably the third generation now, or what would we say, maybe the second generation now, millennials and Gen Zers, who are digital natives, growing, up online on social media like their life online on social media like they didn't see the commercial.  28:23 Their life- is on social media. So their lines are very blurred, like I would say, arguably our generation x not as blurred like I know. When I was younger I used to think, oh, the Brady kids are really like that. Now I realize they're separate people, right, they're separate people than what they did in the sitcom. But nowadays it's like oh, everyone thinks that anything you do online is you, is really you, and so it puts a lot of pressure on those people to say okay, am I in alignment with the kind of brand that I want to have out there or not?  29:02 And a lot of people will say well, you know what do they say? All good, all press, bad press, negative press is still good, press, it's still good. I don't know about that. I don't know about that. I don't think that's true. Yeah, I don't think that's true.  29:15 - Anne (Host) I mean in a way. I mean in a way who said?  29:19 - Lau (Guest) that. Beyonce, who said that Someone big said that I don't even remember, but in a way, american Eagle is benefiting from the controversy.  29:27 - Anne (Host) However, there's really good arguments on either side of it. Again, they're promoting to a crowd you know who are their best sellers. Do you know what I mean? Because, as I and you also talked about in the beginning, we have a certain familiarness with advertising from 30 years ago, right 40 years ago, and so for us, maybe that ad was like oh okay, I didn't think anything of it, but then all of a sudden, because of the younger generation, right, who are like hey, what is this? Or you know, or why, especially with political things going on, what do you mean? Genes like G-E-N-E-S Is that? Then it became a political thing. So I think that we have to be really, really careful, as voice actors on social media, to make sure that we're aware, be aware, educate yourself and be aware of what your voice, what your presence, what your social presence means to your business.  30:33 - Lau (Guest) And I also would add on to that, annie, that we just had a discussion because my group was in New York showcasing of actors and I was really tough, talk about mama, tough. I was really tough and saying listen, I'm just going to tell you this right now If you don't go into your social media right now, before you audition for those agents, those casting directors, those producers, and clean it up and scrub your stuff, scrub it.  30:57 Get reputation defenders. Do whatever you need to do to scrub it. Keep your ideas and ideals separate, because you don't want to alienate people and their whole audience before you even meet them and audition for them, do you? I mean, do you to be a really good note to leave on Digital Digital?  31:25 - Anne (Host) We are digital. We are digital.  31:27 - Speaker 2 (Announcement) Your footprint's there.  31:28 - Anne (Host) Digital is traceable, just saying Digital is traceable, you are. Have you ever tried to? And again, we've never really covered this in depth, but if you think about it, if you ever tried to make a comment and then delete it and then it didn't really delete or did, how many people took a screenshot of that? Yeah, you know, before you deleted it.  31:48 So again, things are digital and things, and because we've gotten again on your phone, on your computer, just assume that people are tracing and I know, yes, you can get it's not right and I get that, but just assume and just you know, honestly, just be aware, be aware and protect your business, protect your voice, protect your business and protect your bossness. Guys, be a bossness.  32:16 - Lau (Guest) And I'll leave on this note in saying yes, and I'll piggyback by saying, even just for who you are as a person, be happy and content with the brand you're creating. Because, you're going to have to live with that for a long time. As long as you have your business, you'll have to live with it.  32:34 - Anne (Host) I have people.  32:35 - Lau (Guest) Annie when I go to a conference or something screaming across the room hey mama, how are you? If I didn't like that, I didn't want that, I'd have to change it. I'd have to really change it and make a concerted effort to do that so be happy with what you're selecting and what you're choosing and what your audience is giving to you and, if not, strategize elsewhere, redirect it.  32:59 - Anne (Host) Good stuff, good stuff, amazing Bosses.

Quand on évoque les grandes civilisations précolombiennes, deux noms surgissent immédiatement : les Mayas et les Incas. Pourtant, si elles ont toutes deux marqué l'histoire de l'Amérique, elles sont très différentes dans leur localisation, leur organisation et leurs héritages.Les Mayas apparaissent bien avant les Incas. Leur civilisation se développe dès 2000 avant notre ère, dans les forêts tropicales du Yucatán, au sud du Mexique, ainsi qu'au Guatemala, au Belize et au Honduras actuels. Les Incas, eux, émergent beaucoup plus tard, au XIIIᵉ siècle, dans la cordillère des Andes, principalement au Pérou. Cette différence chronologique explique déjà un contraste : quand l'empire inca atteint son apogée au XVe siècle, les grandes cités mayas étaient déjà abandonnées depuis longtemps.Sur le plan politique, le contraste est frappant. Les Mayas n'avaient pas un empire unifié mais une mosaïque de cités-États indépendantes, comme Tikal, Palenque ou Copán, qui rivalisaient entre elles par des guerres et des alliances. Les Incas, au contraire, fondèrent un empire centralisé : le Tawantinsuyu. Depuis Cuzco, l'empereur, appelé le Sapa Inca, exerçait un pouvoir absolu sur des millions de sujets et un territoire immense s'étendant de la Colombie jusqu'au Chili.Sur le plan culturel, les Mayas brillèrent surtout par leur écriture et leurs connaissances scientifiques. Ils développèrent un système d'écriture hiéroglyphique complexe, unique en Amérique, qui permettait de noter aussi bien des événements politiques que des récits mythologiques. Ils élaborèrent également un calendrier extrêmement précis, basé sur l'astronomie, et laissèrent des monuments impressionnants comme les pyramides de Chichén Itzá. Les Incas, eux, ne connaissaient pas l'écriture. Pour conserver la mémoire des tributs ou des recensements, ils utilisaient les quipus, des cordelettes nouées dont les combinaisons servaient de code numérique. Leur génie s'exprima surtout dans l'ingénierie : routes pavées traversant les Andes, ponts suspendus, systèmes d'irrigation et villes perchées comme Machu Picchu.Enfin, leurs religions différaient. Les Mayas pratiquaient des rituels sanglants pour apaiser leurs dieux, y compris des sacrifices humains. Les Incas, eux, adoraient surtout Inti, le dieu Soleil, et considéraient l'empereur comme son descendant direct. Leurs sacrifices humains existaient, mais étaient plus rares et souvent réservés à des moments exceptionnels.En somme, les Mayas furent des astronomes et des scribes brillants, mais fragmentés politiquement. Les Incas, eux, bâtirent un empire solide et organisé, mais sans écriture. Deux civilisations fascinantes, qui montrent la diversité et la richesse des mondes précolombiens bien avant l'arrivée des Européens. Hébergé par Acast.

Interview Date: February 16th, 2025Episode Summary: This episode features Khalid Freeman—body percussionist, choreographer, and field team director—known for merging musicianship and movement. A veteran of STOMP (nine years), Cirque du Soleil, and five Super Bowl Halftime Shows, Khalid translates drummer-level musicality onto the body, treating the performer as the instrument itself.Khalid retraces his path from tap (inspired by Gregory Hines) to stepping and finally to body percussion, unpacking how “you are the drum set.” He explains the difference between stepping's militant power and body music's nuance, and shares how STOMP honed his dynamics, phrasing, and counting. Highlights include being an original cast for Michael Jackson: The Immortal World Tour and later contributing choreography to MJ ONE (“Wanna Be Startin' Somethin'”). On the Super Bowl side, he demystifies the field team role—executing KP's vision, staging giant formations safely, and problem-solving live.Khalid encourages dancers to develop a musician mindset (ghost notes, sustains, phrasing), break the fourth wall to connect with audiences, and cultivate versatility by training across styles and teachers. He contrasts film (repeatable, permanent capture) with live events (one shot, controlled adrenaline) and reminds performers to be coachable, patient, and fully present. Above all, find your authentic “grocery-cart/shower/kitchen dance” so industry work doesn't erase your voice.Show Notes:(07:43) – Formal intro and career overview (08:48) – Body percussion explained; stepping vs. body music(12:35) – Nine years in STOMP; musicality and dynamics(17:01) – Triple-threat: breaking the fourth wall(24:09) – MJ Immortal cast experience & callbacks(25:09) – Adding body percussion to MJ ONE(41:27) – Five Super Bowls overview(42:20) – What a field team director actually does(51:19) – Super Bowl auditions: artist team vs. field cast(58:29) – Film vs. Super Bowl: nerves, capture, and focusBiography:Khalid brings versatility to the Body Music world with his unique percussive dance style.

Khalid took his instrument/art form on 17 world tours, 46 countries and all 50 states over 26 years so it's clearly his passion and career mission to expand the love of body percussion.Connect on Social Media:Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/khalidfreeman/Youtube - https://www.youtube.com/khalidfreeman?app=desktopWebsite -  https://profile.jamargig.com/khalidfreeman/
