Podcasts about Soli

Rest to Return is a podcast for a restless world. Kohenet Keshira haLev Fife is your host. This series is rooted in Shabbat, an ancient Jewish practice that teaches us how to belong to time. Here, rest is a sacred rhythm woven into who we are. We continue by gathering around a single question: What makes time sacred? The concept that each of us is created b'tzelem Elohim, in the Divine Image, comes from Genesis 1:27. The first person who I heard crystalise the idea that we need to reach REM sleep in order to dream was Rev Dr Tony Lim, during a gathering of Spiritual Innovators at the Fetzer Institute. The idea that dreaming is one-sixtieth of prophecy comes from Berakhot 57b. The concept of the Jubilee can be found in Leviticus 25:8-16. I first learned about Soli-lunar time from Seasons of our Joy: A Modern Guide to the Jewish Holidays by Reb Arthur Waskow z”l. Geoffrey Chaucer was a writer and poet who lived in the 1300s; he was best known for having written The Canterbury Tales. I learned “Who Make the Future?” at Let My People Sing; the song is by Abigail Bengson of the Bengsons. Enjoy the live version of Lay it Down, Let it Go here.

Zirgs vēl pirms simts gadiem bija draugs, palīgs un acu raugs daudziem laukos dzīvojošajiem Latvijas iedzīvotājiem. Bez tiem nebija iespēja ne pārvietoties, ne apstrādāt laukus, ne izdarīt jebkādus citus smagus lauka darbus. Tā kā zirgs bija vērtīgs resurss, netrūka arī to, kas kāroja zirgu iegūt vieglā ceļā, tos zogot. Zirgu zagļi bija grūti apakarojama sērga 19. gadsimtā un 20. gadsimta pirmajā pusē. Kas bija slavēnākie zirgu zagļi, kā tos apkaroja un kādus sodus piesprieda zirgu zagļiem? Raidījumā Zināmais nezināmajā plašāk stāsta vēsturnieks un etnogrāfs Uģis Niedre un vēsturnieks, Vidzemes Augstskolas padomes loceklis un vadošais pētnieks Gatis Krūmiņš. "Zirgam pirms simts un vairāk gadiem bija ļoti plaša nozīmē. Viena lieta ir lauksaimniecība, bet noteikti tas ir transports kā tāds, tā ir arī militārā joma. Zirgu pasēs es esmu arī kaut kur pamanījis, ka arī, tāpat kā vīrietim ierakstīju, vai derīgas karaklausībai, tad arī zirgam ierakstīja, vai zirgs ir derīgs karaklausībai. Tam bija milzīga nozīme," atklāj Gatis Krūmiņš.  Bet lielais zirgu skaits radījis arī sarežģījumus, īpaši pilsētā, jo zirgi rada arī mēslus, kuri ir kaut kur jāliek. Jau tajā laikā zinātniekus aicināja meklēt risinājumus, ko darīt ar zirgu mēsliem.  "Zirgs arī bija kā statistikas elements, kas arī parādīja attīstību, turību. Viens no tiem pamatojumiem, kāpēc īpaša situācija ātri uzlabojas Latgalē, ir tieši zirgu skaita pieaugums. Tā ir kā luksusa prece. Un interesanti, kad īstenoja Agrāro reformu, tur bija pieejami dažādi kredīti. Viens no tiem bija zirgu iegādei un tos izķēra pirmos," turpina Gatis Krūmiņš. "Esmu lasījis, ka kādreiz arī vienam otram kalpa zēnam zirgs bija pirmā prioritāte. Tagad arī mēs redzam, ka ir viena otra daudzdzīvokļu māja, dzīvoklis ir noplucis, bet ļoti smalka mašīna pie durvīm. Cilvēka domāšana nav mainījusies. Arī toreiz bija viens otrs, kuram tas zirgs bija augstākā prioritāte. (..) Cenas arī bija ievērojamas. Tajā brīdī, kad rocība pieauga 30. gadu otrā pusē, gadatirgū labu zirgu zem 800 latiem nevarēja nopirkt. Ja mēs skatāmies, cik ilvēki pelnīja laukos, tad alga puisim bija kādi 50 lati mēnesī, tātad 500 latu gadā. Luksusa zirgs maksāja pusotru tūkstoti latu. Tā ir trīs gadu alga. Tas arī skaidro, kāpēc zirgus zaga." Runājot par cenu, Uģis Niedre atklāj, ka 19. gadsimta vidū labs zirgs maksāja 50 rubļu, bet pūru labības, labus rudzus, zemnieks varēja pārdot par 2,5 - 3 rubļiem. Straumējot laiku: ekspozīcijas sadaļa “Dzimis savā kārtā” Turpinām iepazīstināt ar Latvijas Nacionālā vēstures muzeja ekspozīcijas "Straumējot laiku" sadaļām. Šoreiz par kārtu sabiedrību un to, cik muižnieku un zemnieku dzīves bija cieši saistītas – ne tikai zemnieki bija atkarīgi no muižniekiem, bet arī otrādi. Soli pa solim raidījumā stāstām par šo ekspozīciju, kurā līdz ar 5. sadaļu nonākam plašā telpā, bet laikā ziņā esam piestājuši 18. gadsimtā. Gan šis posms, gan arī 19. gadsimta sākums vēstī par muižnieku un zemnieku, kuri, būdami no dažādām kārtām, patiešām abi bija vienā laivā, jo viņi bija atkarīgi viens no otra. Telpu piepilda muižas kompleksa makets, un tam līdzās videoprojekcijas ar zemniekiem, kuri veic dažādus lauku darbus. Telpas tālākā plānā interjers ar galdu un iedomātu skatu pa logu, un vēl apmeklētāju pavada konkrētā perioda personību portreti un balsis. Ar sadaļu “Dzimis savā kārtā” iepazīstina Latvijas Nacionālā vēstures muzeja Etnogrāfijas nodaļas vadītāja Sanita Zvidra. Par dažādiem sabiedrības slāņiem un birģeru tiesībām runājām jau tad, kad iepazinām pilsētu veidošanos viduslaikos, un muzeja pētniece, vēstures doktore Mārīte Jakovļeva norāda, ka arī muižnieki un zemnieki nebija kaut kas viendabīgs.  -- Vasaras vidus ir bērnu kopšanas laiks Latvijā ligzdojošajiem putniem, tostarp arī tiem, kas aktīvāki paliek tikai dienas tumšajā laikā. Par vienu šādu nakts putnu – klusu, bet ar ļoti skaļiem bērniem, stāsta Latvijas Ornitoloģijas biedrības priekšsēdētājs Viesturs Ķerus. 

Ich mache mir oft Gedanken darüber, ob Geschichten jemals auserwählt sein können. Soli Kiani hat sich den Inhalt ihrer Kunst nicht ausgesucht. Das, was sie tut und wie sie es tut, ist alternativlos. Da ist kein bisschen Kalkulation spürbar. Wer tiefer eintaucht in die Biographie der in Wien lebenden Künstlerin, wird schnell erkennen, dass da eine Stimme erhoben wird, die behutsam und mit Bedacht daherkommt. Es ist eine Form des Protest, die den Dialog geradezu einfordert. Wer im Stande ist, die augenscheinliche Eleganz ihrer Werke außer Acht zu lassen, wird die tiefe Klarheit ihrer Bedeutung erkennen. Eine Ausstellung in der Dominikanerkirche in Krems bietet aktuell Gelegenheit dazu. Florian Steininger hat kuratiert und zeigt einmal mehr, was abseits der Metropole Wien alles möglich ist. Das Gespräch hat mich tief berührt und ich glaube das merkt man auch ...

Historical background: the kingdom and events unfolding in the book of Esther pick up roughly where the contemporary events of the book of Daniel had left off. The timeline of Kings and consequences coinciding with Israel's exile and return are relevant to the context of Esther. Nebuchadnezzar had conquered Jerusalem in 605 BC leading Daniel and others captive to the city of Babylon. The next king, Belshazzar, lost his throne immediately upon the prophecy of Daniel to the Persians who expanded the empire. Kings to follow included Cyrus, who allowed the Jews to return & rebuild Jerusalem after 70 years of exile, Darius another king under whom Daniel served, and the son of Darius, Xerxes or Ahasuerus as he is identified in the book of Esther. The Persian empire would continue for several kings following Ahasuerus until it fell to Alexander the Great around 330 BC.

In the providence of God, the recurring challenge of heretical ideas infecting the understanding of the early church set the stage for outlining nonnegotiable Christian teaching.  When Paul addresses the doctrine of resurrection in this chapter, he is providing another example of gospel teaching essential to salvation provided the Corinthians, along with the church of all ages, would hold fast to this truth (1-2).  Paul's own call to ministry hinged on this very reality.  It was the resurrected Christ Jesus Himself who confronted him personally & powerfully in (Acts 9:1-5). Paul was persecuting the first generation of Christians commissioned by Jesus. Now he speaks as one of them having encountered the glory and authority of Jesus Christ exalted & enthroned, Not only did Paul know the resurrection of Jesus Christ to be absolutely true, but he also understood and proclaimed it to be absolutely essential.

How can we run to the name of the Lord as our strong tower? While the first 8 verses of Proverbs 18 primarily identify and refute enemies of wisdom inspiring towers of Babel, verses 9-18 direct us toward the true source of refuge established according to the character and renown of the Lord.  When counsel gleaned from the written Word of God is consistently applied, we ground our lives on the foundation and framework of the only name sufficient for all of life now and forever.  So let us run to the Lord's tower following the path of wisdom.

Taking verse 10 as an organizing analogy for Proverbs 18, this chapter presents a ‘tale of two towers' in wisdom literature terms.  Will the foundation and framework of our lives be built on the attributes of God, or upon the shifting sands of foolishness? The answer hinges on the object of our soul's attention.  Is it the character and renown, that is the NAME, of the Lord that we build our lives upon, or is our priority concern our own name?  There was an ancient tower built by a wicked generation seeking to make themselves a name rather than finding refuge in the Lord.  It didn't go so well for them (Gen 11).  Heeding Prov 18 will keep us from making the same mistake.

JORDI CARRERAS feat Candela Solís - Hilos del Azar by Jordi Carreras

Dal Vangelo secondo MatteoIn quel tempo, Gesù disse ai suoi discepoli:«Avete inteso che fu detto: “Amerai il tuo prossimo” e odierai il tuo nemico. Ma io vi dico: amate i vostri nemici e pregate per quelli che vi perseguitano, affinché siate figli del Padre vostro che è nei cieli; egli fa sorgere il suo sole sui cattivi e sui buoni, e fa piovere sui giusti e sugli ingiusti.Infatti, se amate quelli che vi amano, quale ricompensa ne avete? Non fanno così anche i pubblicani? E se date il saluto soltanto ai vostri fratelli, che cosa fate di straordinario? Non fanno così anche i pagani?Voi, dunque, siate perfetti come è perfetto il Padre vostro celeste».

The Psalms, as summarized by the closing song in each of the first 4 book divisions in the Psalter, present Messiah Prayers in two senses.  First: they serve as prayers of petition for the Messiah to come. Secondly, they function as prayers of intercession for the Messiah to pray on behalf of His people.  The great high priestly prayer of Jesus in John 17 corresponds to the prayer requests of the Psalter echoing the prophetic cries of longing with the proclamation of fulfillment that He secures in His redemptive ministry. Finally, history's greatest hymnal closes with a cosmic call to worship as the only fitting response to the mercy and majesty of God commemorated from song one to one hundred and fifty in the Psalms.

Acts 7 records a Gospel sermon proclaimed to Paul before he was born again.  Paul, approving of Stephen's execution, would have been aware of this testimony. Sometime later, Paul is brought to repentance and faith by the sovereign grace of God & now we read his own Gospel sermon preached to the church in Corinth in I Corinthians 15.
     I Cor 15:1-3 provides an outline for the remainder of the chapter.  Each section following this introduction contains increasingly detailed content. The Gospel that Paul preached and upon which the Church stands is summarized in verses 3-11. Verses 12-34 expound the resurrection as a theological nonnegotiable… the resurrection is essential doctrine to Christianity. To deny it is to deny the faith, rendering everything else you happen to profess meaningless, futile, vain, & useless. Finally, verses 35–58 address frequently asked questions about eternal life answering them with a profound and glorious explanation according to the scriptures proclaimed, fulfilled, and applied.

What is our relationship to the body of Christ, the Church? How are we to love one another? What is the greatest way to serve Christ?

According to Proverbs 25:4 “Take away the dross from the silver, and the smith has material for a vessel”. According to Proverbs 17:3 “The crucible is for silver, and the furnace is for gold, and the LORD tests hearts.”  Taking these references together we can extend and apply the analogy of precious metal refining to the sanctification process of our hearts and lives. Analyzing Proverbs 17 with this illustration in mind, Solomon reveals categories of dross that godly wisdom teaches us to recognize and remove

Prov. 25:4-5 expounds & applies the analogy of pure metals vs. dross. Another example in Proverbs utilizing similar picture language to Prov. 17:3. When the heart is tested by the refining fires of life, the process is designed to remove some elements and refine others.  When the heat is turned up, the difference between precious metals and dross or impurities becomes increasingly apparent.  The book of Proverbs serves as a literary version of this process.  Solomon turns up the heat of truth and when his words are taken to heart, the contrast between folly and righteousness is magnified.

Working through history's greatest hymnal one Psalm at a time, we may not realize or remember the bigger picture of how the collection is organized. Mirroring the Books of Moses, the psalter is also a 'Pentateuch'. The psalms are arranged in five books beginning with songs 1 through 41, followed by book two: 42-72, book three: 73-89, book four: 90-106, and finally book five: 107-150. Each final song of books 1-4 closes with a doxology verse proclaiming: "Blessed be the Lord..." Finally the crescendo and universal call to worship is proclaimed in the final Psalm (150:6) "..Let everything that has breath. Praise the Lord! Praise the Lord! closing book 5. In our overview messages on the Psalter, let us consider closing themes from each set of songs and the big picture message they proclaim summarizing history's greatest hymnal. (Today we consider the first 2 examples. These will be followed in our next Psalm sermon with the same headings and 3 further points: COVENANTAL, INTERCESSION, EXILE INTERCESSION, AND WORSHIP

In the 14th & 15th chapters of his epistle to Corinth, Paul outlines aims of Gospel ministry for the church age.  When the unbeliever witnesses the testimony of the Christian community, how should our message resonate?  As the Holy Spirit is pleased to activate it, the content and presentation of our gospel message should inspire repentance and faith in the hearts of our pagan neighbors and exhortation unto holiness in the lives of disciples.  Let us testify & preach in such a way as to inspire conviction of sin, command submission to the Gospel, and implement applications of church order best serving these primary goals of Christian ministry.  Having covered conviction and submission, we close with applications from chapter 14.

Das Konzept für eine große Steuerreform nimmt Formen an: Der Spitzensteuersatz soll später greifen, der Soli könnte wegfallen und die Reichensteuer steigen. Ist das der richtige Weg? „Wir sind jetzt bei einem Spitzensteuersatz von 42 Prozent und der greift bei 70.000 Euro Jahresgehalt. Da sind die Überlegungen, dass er erst später bei 85.000 Euro greifen könnte. Die Inflation und Gehälter sind gestiegen, aber man kann sich davon nichts mehr leisten. Also das ist gut. Aber wenn man hört, dass die SPD den Spitzensteuersatz gerne von 42 auf 47 Prozent steigen lassen möchte, platzt mir die Hutschnur. Das ist an der Realität der Menschen vorbei und das ist bei der SPD noch nicht angekommen. Beim Soli gibt es Überlegungen, den endlich mal ganz abzuschaffen. Das wird auch Zeit. Denn der wurde mal 1991 für die Deutsche Einheit eingeführt", sagt Manuel Koch. Der Chefredakteur von Inside Wirtschaft weiter: „Wer mehr als 277.000 Euro verdient, zahlt aktuell den Reichensteuersatz, der bei 45 Prozent liegt. Jetzt gibt es Überlegungen diesen Satz auf 47,5 Prozent zu erhöhen, der dan eventuell auch schon bei 210.000 Euro greifen könnte. Immer nur rumdoktern ist nicht der große Wurf." Alle Details im Interview von Buchautorin & Finanzjournalistin Jessica Schwarzer an der Frankfurter Börse und auf https://inside-wirtschaft.de

In this episode of How to Fix Democracy, we turn to Turkey to explore what democratic resilience like over the long arc of history. Joined by the political scientist Soli Oezel, the conversation traces more than a century of "bouts of freedom" punctuated by military interventions, constitutional resets, and shifting balances between state authority and popular will. From the late Ottoman period to the present, Oezel examines how Turkey's political system has repeated oscillated between openness and control, highlighting the military's historical role as both guardian and disruptor of democracy, and the more recent shift toward a fully civilian, yet increasingly liberal, political order. Despite these tensions, one constant remains: the enduring importance of elections and the deep-rooted expectation among citizens that their voices should count. The episode also probes deeper structural questions. Why have liberal democratic norms struggled to take hold? How do state-centric traditions, nationalism, and unresolved identity questions, particularly around the Kurdish issue, shape political life? And what explains the persistence of democratic aspirations even under pressure? At its core, this conversation challenges a common assumption: that democracy's resilience is primarly institutional or cultural. Instead, Oezel argues that it hinges on something more tangible, whether democratic systems deliver economic security, opportunity, and a sense of fairness. When they do, they build legitimacy; when they don't, they risk erosion from within.

Verse three of our chapter presents a conceptual context for the virtues promoted in Biblical wisdom literature, including the immediate blessings and character traits endorsed by Solomon in Proverbs 17.  Testing, tempering, & purifying are in view here as uses for heat in processing precious metals.  This analogy serves well to illustrate the design and redemptive purpose of life's trials, difficulties, conflicts, hardships, suffering etc.. Carrying over the theme of divine sovereignty from chapter 16, the literary context of this verse provides a big picture perspective of divine purpose redeeming the hardships of life for the believer.  If the trials of life are the refining crucible or furnace, the character traits endorsed by Solomon in chapter 17 (as well as the entire book) are the refined treasure believers are promised as they submit to the providence of God in the challenges of life.

Oggi è arrivata la certificazione da parte dell'Eurostat che il rapporto deficit/Pil dell'Italia è al 3,1% per il 2025, dal 3,4% del 2024. Con questo valore sembra escludersi una uscita del Paese dalla procedura europea per disavanzo eccessivo, all'esame dalla Commissione Ue a inizio giugno nell'ambito del Semestre europeo.Preso atto di questo dato oggi il Consiglio dei ministri ha approvato il Documento di finanza pubblica 2026. Nel Documento il governo ha rivisto sia il Pil 2026 che quello del 2027 da +0,7% a +0,6%. Lo ha detto il ministro dell Economia, Giancarlo Giorgetti, nel corso della conferenza stampa seguita al Consiglio dei ministri. Ci muoveremo da soli? Non lo escluderei ha risposto Giorgetti a chi gli domandava se, in caso di mancato intervento dell Europa, l Italia possa fare da sola sullo scostamento. Però - ha aggiunto - siccome parlando con i miei colleghi in tanti si ritrovano come me a fare il medico nell ospedale da campo, in tanti condividiamo il nostro stesso modo di vedere la situazione: abbiamo feriti che arrivano da tutte le parti e che dobbiamo curare. Non possiamo dargli l aspirina .Per quanto riguarda lo scostamento c è una priorità e deve essere valutata per essere massimamente produttiva: se voglio evitare che aumentino i prezzi al supermercato, devo evitare che qualcuno ribalti i maggiori costi dei trasporti sul dettaglio, questa cosa l abbiamo già discussa in termini informali tra colleghi ministri la settimana scorsa, c è una proposta che io, il collega spagnolo e tedesco abbiamo sottoscritto per una tassazione eccezionale alle grandi compagnie petrolifere ed energetiche che vada a finanziare questi interventi, non mi sembra sia stata ben accolta, certo chi fa il medico nell ospedale da campo ha problemi diversi dallo Stato maggiore ha detto il ministro dell Economia.All Europa chiedo flessibilità, rispondere prontamente alle sfide, dice Giorgetti. Io non ho chiesto la deroga al Patto di stabilità: ho chiesto che si sia flessibili. A livello europeo ho chiesto che bisogna essere pronti e flessibili a rispondere alle situazioni, e non rilassati. Quello che non va è la rigidità rispetto ad approcciare un mondo che è completamente cambiato. Questo non sta in piedi ha incalzato Giorgetti. Siamo di fronte a un mondo che ci ha posto sfide che esigono risposte prontamente, ha aggiunto. Ne parliamo con Gianni Trovati, Il Sole 24 Ore.Fertilizzanti ed energia, doppio allarme in agricoltura per la guerra in IranLa regione del Golfo Persico, nota soprattutto per le ricche riserve di idrocarburi, è in realtà cruciale anche per i rifornimenti di altre materie prime e prodotti finiti. E tra le principali esportazioni figurano anche alcuni dei più diffusi nutrienti impiegati in agricoltura come fertilizzanti:dallo Stretto di Hormuz transita il 35% dell export globale di urea, concime azotato derivato dal gas, e nel caso dello zolfo (che entra nella preparazione di DAP e MAP) la quota sale addirittura al 45%, stima Cru Group. L impatto sui prezzi diretta conseguenza del crollo delle forniture disponibili è stato immediato: l urea granulare in Medio Oriente ha raggiunto 850 dollari per tonnellata, dai 485 dollari di prima della guerra. Nell emisfero nord siamo ormai entrati in primavera, il periodo in cui c è maggiore bisogno di concimare i terreni. È probabile che gli agricoltori a questo punto abbiano già fatto scorte, in caso contrario potrebbero rischiare addirittura difficoltà di rifornimento, oltre che doversi sobbarcare forti aumenti di prezzo. In agricoltura i fertilizzanti sono una delle principali voci di costo, accanto ai combustibili (soprattutto il gasolio agricolo): insieme superano il 40% del totale dei costi produttivi nell Unione europea, secondo stime della Commissione Ue. Ed entrambi erano già cari prima che Stati Uniti e Israele attaccassero l Iran. Ed ecco i primi dati sui rincari dei prodotti agroalimentari. A partire dagli ortaggi : pomodori in serra riscaldata, ma anche finocchi, asparago verde e cavolfiori, hanno registrato ieri rialzi superiori al +30% rispetto al mese precedente. Nel dettaglio +56% i finocchi, +46% il cavolfiore bianco, +28% l asparago verde e +27% il pomodoro ciliegino. È quanto emerge dall analisi dei prezzi all ingrosso dei prodotti agroalimentari, rilevati dalle Camere di commercio, dai Mercati all ingrosso e delle Commissioni Uniche nazionali e analizzati da Borsa merci telematica italiana (Bmti). «Non siamo ancora ai livelli del 2022 - ha commentato il dg di Borsa merci telematica italiana, Giulio Montanari - tuttavia, gli aumenti del prezzo del gasolio e dei fertilizzanti sono preoccupanti e avranno un impatto. Iniziamo ad osservare tensioni nei prezzi dei nostri prodotti agroalimentari. Il monitoraggio continuo sui prezzi che Bmti realizza ci dice, ad esempio, che nell ortofrutta si sono osservati per alcuni prodotti in serra degli aumenti legati non solo all aumento dei costi energetici, ma anche all impatto del clima avverso in Sicilia nei primi due mesi dell anno. Il commento è di Sandro Gambuzza, vicepresidente Confagricoltura.Lufthansa cancella 20mila voliNon era solo una notizia societaria quella della chiusura della linea regionale Lufthansa CityLine. Già alla fine del mese di marzo il sindacato tedesco degli assistenti di volo Ufo aveva indetto uno sciopero per i dipendenti della compagnia aerea in nove aeroporti del Paesei sostenendo che la direzione non stesse facendo alcuno sforzo per il piano di licenziamento degli 800 dipendenti di Cityline, la cui chiusura era già stata stata confermata. Adesso Lufthansa ha spiegato nero su bianco di aver deciso di ritirare dal mercato circa 20mila voli programmati tra maggio e ottobre, con l obiettivo di contenere l impatto dell impennata dei costi del carburante aereo, più che raddoppiati in seguito alle tensioni nel Golfo Persico e alla chiusura dello Stretto di Hormuz. La riduzione riguarda esclusivamente le operazioni di Lufthansa CityLine, appunto, la divisione regionale la cui dismissione, inizialmente prevista per il 2027, è stata anticipata. Si tratta di uno degli interventi più rilevanti nel settore, in una fase in cui numerosi vettori stanno rivedendo la propria offerta proprio alla vigilia della stagione estiva, tradizionalmente la più redditizia. Secondo quanto comunicato dalla compagnia, il taglio interessa voli a corto raggio per un equivalente di circa 40 mila tonnellate di carburante, il cui prezzo è salito drasticamente dall inizio del conflitto con l Iran. Le prime misure operative sono già entrate in vigore: circa 120 collegamenti giornalieri sono stati cancellati a partire dal 20 aprile, con effetti fino alla fine di maggio, e i passeggeri coinvolti sono stati informati. Il piano prevede inoltre una razionalizzazione del network europeo, con un rafforzamento dei sei hub principali del gruppo Francoforte, Monaco, Zurigo, Vienna, Bruxelles e Roma per eliminare le rotte meno profittevoli. Nonostante i tagli, il gruppo assicura una disponibilità complessivamente stabile di carburante per la stagione estiva, grazie a strategie di approvvigionamento fisico e copertura dei prezzi. Le cancellazioni, viene precisato, non coinvolgono le altre compagnie del gruppo tra cui Swiss International Air Lines, ITA Airways, Austrian Airlines e Brussels Airlines ma restano circoscritte a CityLine.

Under the working theme of ‘the finishing school of kings' we've considered Proverbs 16 in four sections. The first nine verses expounded the concept of agency under the royal preeminence of God as the font of all legitimate authority.  These verses reveal the relationship between human moral agency and God's sovereignty.  The second section (verses 10-16) speaks to the royal ideal.  Here we are introduced to the model ruler, the moral standard for civil authorities.  In the third portion, verses 17-25 exhort the dominion agent to assess his own character applying principles internally to the discipline of self-government.  Finally, our chapter closes with instructions for the king to evaluate the reputation of others. Applying externally the standards of Godly character in verses 26-33.

John chapter 20 records a series of resurrection revelations.  John & Peter realized Jesus was risen only upon touring the empty tomb and witnessing the carefully folded grave clothes of our Lord (3-8). Next, Mary Magdalene remains distraught despite witnessing the empty tomb and angels until Jesus Himself speaks to her from the garden (11-18).  Jesus then visits a meeting of disciples cowering behind locked doors for fear of the Jews. He shows them his crucifixion wounds and speaks a blessing of peace restoring their joy (19-23). Finally, eight days later, the doubts of Thomas are assuaged only when Christ appears to him in the flesh and the disciple touches his pierced hands and side (224-28). Verse 9 of this chapter explains why these face to face encounters were necessary…”for as yet they did not understand the Scripture, that he must rise from the dead.”  This would not always be the case however, shortly after these events and the Pentecost advent of the Holy Spirit, Peter began to proclaim the Gospel from the OT scriptures.  It is this witness combined with the NT accounts that now serves to open our eyes and hearts to believe. Behold Peter preaching after he understood the scripture proclaiming Christ.

In consideration of our text this week, I recalled a sermon series I preached years ago which traced the prominence and location of the Ark of the Covenant as it related to the spiritual condition of the nation of Israel… the plight of the Ark as the touchstone of divine habitation & favor corresponded with the heart condition of the people. As spiritual reforms progressed under the rule of David, the red carpet was rolled out for the presence of God to take up residence once again in the midst of the people.  Just as the triumphal entry of Christ into Jerusalem would be paved with praises, palm fronds, and cloaks… so it was centuries before, the people made preparations for the Ark of the Covenant to arrive in Jerusalem.  This event was marked by covenant renewal, worship, and sacrifice.

“Happiness is a rare commodity. There's a lot of fuel for the claim that unhappiness is caused by some software, when in fact the roots of unhappiness are way deeper than that.” — Keith TeareIf it's not warfare in Iran, then it's lawfare in California. Out here in Silicon Valley, it's been a week dominated by two trials of big tech. First, Meta and YouTube were found liable for designing products that addict children. While the young female social media victims hugged outside the Los Angeles courthouse, the Wall Street Journal dismissed it as a Big Tech shakedown. Then, up the road in San Francisco, a federal judge granted Anthropic an emergency reprieve from the Pentagon's unprecedented designation of the company as a supply chain risk.For That Was the Week publisher Keith Teare, the social media trial was fighting the last war, while the Anthropic vs US Government trial is about the future of war. Anthropic took the bait, Keith says. Governments, he believes, should get to decide how to use the products they buy from Silicon Valley. Anthropic wanted to sell to the government but dictate how their technology gets used in battle. The Istanbul-based Soli Özel warned us earlier this week that events in the Middle East are going to get much bloodier. But I wonder if warfare in Iran and lawfare in California are separate fronts in the same battle over tomorrow.Five Takeaways•       The Social Media Trial Is Fighting the Last War: Meta and YouTube were fined $6 million — financially meaningless, culturally significant. Keith argues that addiction is successful demand management and every product manager seeks it. The root cause isn't the algorithm — it's alienation. The law is always one step behind technology.•       Anthropic Took the Bait: A federal judge granted Anthropic an emergency reprieve from the Pentagon's supply chain risk designation. Keith thinks Anthropic is right on the product but wrong on the politics. Governments get to decide how to use weapons. End of story. Anthropic wanted to sell to the government but dictate how the buyer used what they bought. That's juvenile.•       Would You Buy a Used Car from Sam Altman? OpenAI killed Sora and shelved its adult mode. Keith calls it maturity, not failure — a recommitment to the core business. Altman's personality doesn't lend itself to being liked, but measured by outcomes, he's fantastic. The AI documentary exposed everyone as adolescent — except Demis Hassabis, the stone-cold scientist.•       Claude Enters the Third Era of AI: Chat was era one. Directed agents were era two. Autonomous agents that act when you're not present are era three. Claude's new Dispatch feature, Gmail connectors, and calendar integration are all about that third era. The product is excellent. The politics are a distraction.•       Intelligence Is Getting Cheaper. Fear Is Wrapped Up as Principle: The stock market is repricing the future: software companies down, AI companies teed up for IPOs. OpenAI, Anthropic, SpaceX, and xAI will probably all go public this year. For kids in school today, AI is already ubiquitous. The life cycle of companies may shrink from decades to single-digit years.

“If the regime doesn't lose, it wins.” — Soli ÖzelIt was just past midnight in Istanbul when I reached Soli Özel. The Pentagon had just announced it was deploying 3,000 soldiers — the 82nd Airborne — to the Gulf. Özel — professor of international relations at Kadir Has University, columnist, and one of the most trusted analysts of Middle Eastern politics — is blunt. This might, he warns, be America's Suez moment.In 1956, Britain and France — two spent imperial powers that refused to accept they were spent — were humiliated in Egypt. Trump is a noisier, more corpulent Anthony Eden. The difference between then and now is that the US and Soviet Union were ready to replace the European colonial powers. Today, no great power can take America's place in the region. But its prestige is diminished, its ammunition depleted, and when it called on NATO allies to help open the Strait of Hormuz, nobody volunteered. Russia and China, Özel suggests, are winning on every front without sending any of their crack regiments to the front. It may also be midnight for a declining United States in the Middle East. Five Takeaways•       The Negotiations Were Going America's Way: According to the Omani foreign minister, Iran had accepted conditions firmer than the original JCPOA. The war was a choice, not a necessity. The question is who convinced the president: the Venezuela precedent, which suggested quick regime decapitation, or the Israelis, who wanted not just a deal but the regime's destruction. Nobody told him that Venezuela and Iran have nothing in common.•       If the Iranian Regime Doesn't Lose, It Wins: Iran has escalation control. Its defensive resilience has exceeded every analyst's expectations. It struck the Ras Laffan gas refinery in Qatar — three to five years to repair. It hit radars, data centres, refineries. Nobody thought they could do this. If the regime survives, it emerges emboldened, more autocratic, and the entire Gulf security equation changes permanently.•       This May Be America's Suez Moment: In 1956, Britain and France — two spent imperial powers — were humiliated in Egypt. The difference: the US and Soviet Union were ready to take their place. Today, no great power can replace America in the region. But its prestige is diminished, its ammunition depleted, and when it called on NATO allies to help open the Strait of Hormuz, nobody volunteered.•       The Moral Debate America Isn't Having: The decapitation strategy — assassinating an entire generation of foreign leaders — crossed a red line that should never have been crossed. The American debate is about preparedness, Israeli influence, and whether Trump can find an exit. The moral question is taking the back seat. The rest of the world has noticed.•       Russia Wins. China Waits. Nothing Will Be the Same: Oil prices from the sixties to over a hundred. Russia has more room in Ukraine. China is happy the US can't pivot to Asia and is depleting ammunition reserves meant for a Taiwan scenario. Relations between the Gulf countries, Israel, and the United States will be reconsidered, redefined, and never the same. About the GuestSoli Özel is a professor of international relations at Kadir Has University in Istanbul, a fellow at the Robert Bosch Academy, and a columnist for Habertürk.

“What conclusion do you draw if you see a system that continues to grow more powerful despite failing at the things it says it's going to accomplish?” — Jacob SiegelJacob Siegel grew up in Brooklyn, studied history at Boston University, enlisted in the US Army after September 11, and fought in Iraq and Afghanistan. In Afghanistan, as an intelligence officer, he had the latest drones, sensors, Palantir databases, and predictive models at his fingertips — but still couldn't get a coherent answer about what, exactly, America was trying to accomplish in its war with the Taliban. To him, the technology was as extraordinary as the incoherence of the war.In his new book, The Information State: Politics in the Age of Total Control, Siegel argues that within a few years of coming home, those same tools were being used on American citizens. This “Information State” was born in Herat and Kandahar. It came home to our iPhones.But Siegel's Information State isn't the conventional leftist critique of Big Tech. Siegel argues that the Obama administration elevated the war on terror's surveillance apparatus into an art of progressive government — not as Orwellian censors but through a sprawling network of NGOs, fact-checkers, and media organisations that made authoritarian control look like liberal consensus. Ben Rhodes, one of the principal architects of the Information State, called it the echo chamber. Trump's version is cruder, more monarchical, more wannabe Orwellian. But the infrastructure, Siegel says, is the Internet itself. Digital society has spawned its own form of government regardless of who's in charge. This Kafkaesque system grows more powerful despite failing at everything it claims to do. You may not be interested in the Information State, but it sure is interested in you. Such is politics in the age of total control. Five Takeaways•       The War on Terror's Tools Came Home: Siegel was an intelligence officer in Afghanistan with drones, sensors, Palantir, and predictive databases at his fingertips — and couldn't get a straight answer about what America was trying to accomplish. Within a few years of returning, those same tools were being used on American citizens. The information state was born in Herat and Kandahar.•       Obama Built It. Trump Inherited It. Neither Owns It: The Obama administration elevated the war on terror's surveillance tools into an art of government — not as Orwellian censors but through a progressive gloss of rationality and correct social ideals. Trump's version is cruder, more monarchical, more direct. But the infrastructure is the Internet itself. Digital society spawns its own form of government regardless of who's in charge.•       The System Grows More Powerful by Failing: This is the Kafkaesque horror at the heart of the book. A system that never achieves its stated goals — winning in Afghanistan, rationalising society, controlling public opinion — yet continues to grow larger and more powerful. If a system is rewarded for failing, the system itself has become the purpose.•       Twitter Under Musk Is a Horrifying Factory of Schizophrenia: Siegel is no Musk apologist. He thinks the early campaign against mass censorship was a good step. But the result — Musk's Twitter — is social dissolution, not liberation. Removing government control didn't solve the fundamental problem of how we mediate social relations online.•       The Human Subject Has Been Diminished: The digital world has relocated human agency into opaque systems. The crisis of the American man — and, Siegel concedes, of the American woman too — is bound up with a technological transformation on the order of the printing press. Industrial-era social relations cannot persist under digital conditions. The information state is the first draft of what comes next. About the GuestJacob Siegel is a contributing editor at Tablet magazine and co-editor of the anthology Fire and Forget: Short Stories from the Long War.

Our passage today is all about self-discipline. In light of the last section of Proverbs 16 specifically addressed to kings, one might be inclined to ask if these verses are directed toward civil rulers as well? And if so, how do they apply to those wielding authority?  Astute philosophers through the ages have recognized the importance of self-government as a precondition of responsibility.  In a recent interview, Canadian politician: Pierre Poilievre spoke to his own philosophy of leadership by citing Confucius who said: "How will he who does not know how to govern himself know how to govern others?" Before Poilievre there was Confucius, and before Confucius there was Solomon who influenced great kings as the testimony of his wisdom spread far and wide 1000 years before Christ. I Kings 4:29-34 documents the reach and influence of Solomon's wisdom and renown. Timeless principles outlined in this chapter may well have spanned the inhabited world and endured for centuries, perhaps inspiring generations of leaders from the near east to China.

In this episode, we are going to explore the world of arachnids, but not the spiders you likely imagined after I said that. Nor ticks, nor mites, nor scorpions. No, today we are focusing on solifuges. “Soli-what?” you may be thinking.Joining us to explain more is Dr. Paula Cushing. Paula works at the Denver Museum of Nature and Science in Colorado, where she is the senior curator of invertebrate zoology. She is an evolutionary biologist who studies evolutionary patterns and processes in arachnids. Paula's research focuses on the diversity of arachnids in the Rocky Mountain/Great Plains ecoregion, leveraging community science projects such as the Colorado Spider Survey to engage more people in gathering observations. She has done research in all the deserts of the western United States, in Florida, Virginia, Tennessee, Kentucky, and Puerto Rico, as well as in Mexico and Panama. ---Photo credit: Harshjeet Singh Bal's CC BY-NC-SA 2.0Thank you for listening!

The more authority someone wields, the more fear of the Lord is required to rule responsibly.  ‘Fear of the Lord' defined in context of chapter 16: ‘Taking God as seriously as His sovereignty demands'.  Each of the five references to the king in verses 10-15 imply the ideal, that is the perfect example of dominion.  You could place the word ‘perfect' or ‘ideal' before each mention of ‘king' in this section to help clarify the sense of Solomon's instruction. In addition, it is helpful to remember the wisdom literature device of ‘citing the maximal case'.  This way of speaking commends the application of these principles not exclusively to kings, but furthermore to all lesser dominion agents. Consider Prov 16 in light of the (Gen 1:28) original cultural mandate for all humanity. Given this dynamic, the reader may substitute ‘dominion agent' for each reference to ‘king' to clarify the scope of application.

We have reached the penultimate song in the world's greatest hymnal! The theme of worship and its central importance to the livelihood of the people is expounded.  Worship is a matter of identity, unity, and national security. Last I checked ‘The high praises of God” had not made the list of strategic resources that we believe are in our country's vital interest. This is a tragic oversight. When true worship thrives so does a society.  Let us explore the great blessings attending those who worship the One True Sovereign in Spirit & in truth.

After addressing the occasion of public worship, expounding references from the greater context of scripture, and laying out practical guidelines, the apostle summarizes his house keeping instructions for the Corinthian church in one sentence at the close of this chapter:" "... All things should be done decently and in order." (40). The standards for decency and order according to the calling of the local church are the subject of our text today. Central to our passage, verses 24 & 25 outline aims for Gospel ministry in the church age. This summary, is a literary structure, is fractal (a concise version of a broader pattern). We can use these categories to outline surrounding verses fro1n (20-40), we'll cover 2 points through verse 26 in this message.

soli parts Jesus Came to Save Poor Sinners by Beth McGinnis

Proverbs 16 reads like a finishing school exam for civil rulers. The author's calling and experience provide the background context occasioning this passage. Nevertheless while Solomon's office as king of Israel explains the instrumental cause of blessing in the land, the chapter itself proclaims the sovereignty of God as the formal cause. Applications of this chapter extend to us as Solomon is citing the maximal case here. The implication being, if the greatest of earthly kings is subject & accountable to the law of God & if he rules merely as an instrument of God's divine decree...the same is certainly true for everyone else. Similar to chapter 15, several verses placed strategically throughout the passage pronounce the theme. These key proverbs are verse 1, 9, and 33 all of which highlight the royal preeminence of YAHWEH the ultimate sovereign, human agency
