C dans l'air du 1er juin 2026 - Une victoire, une fête... et encore des violencesUn week-end d'euphorie et de tensions. Alors que le coup de sifflet final retentissait, samedi soir, la capitale explosait de joie : le PSG remportait, au bout d'un long suspense, la deuxième Ligue des champions de son histoire et conservait son titre. Dès lors, des scènes de liesse ont été observées un peu partout dans la capitale. Mais, comme l'an dernier, la fête a toutefois été émaillée d'incidents, de dégradations et d'affrontements avec les forces de l'ordre. Des actes de vandalisme et des pillages de commerces ont également été constatés dans plusieurs villes, comme Rennes, Clermont-Ferrand ou encore Strasbourg.Ce dimanche, les joueurs du Paris Saint-Germain ont fait un retour triomphal à Paris, acclamés par une foule immense massée au Champ-de-Mars, avant d'être reçus à l'Élysée par Emmanuel Macron. Mais les festivités ont été gâchées par les violences de samedi soir. « On a vu des scènes de violence inacceptables à Paris et dans d'autres villes », a dénoncé Emmanuel Macron, ajoutant : « On sera intraitables avec ceux qu'on a attrapés. On ne veut plus voir ça, on en a ras le bol. » Le ministre de l'Intérieur a fait état, ce lundi 1er juin, de « 890 interpellations » ce week-end, soit une hausse « de plus de 45 % » par rapport à 2025 et au premier sacre européen du Paris Saint-Germain. Il a également indiqué que « 178 » policiers et gendarmes avaient été blessés au cours de ces deux jours. Même tonalité de la part du préfet de police de Paris, Laurent Nuñez, qui, sur RTL, a mis en avant une hausse des interpellations à Paris à mettre en regard avec « une baisse de 30 % des faits » par rapport à 2025.Mais l'action du gouvernement est très critiquée depuis plusieurs heures. La France insoumise a déploré l'absence de fan-zones pour « éviter ce type de débordements » et a accusé les forces de l'ordre d'avoir « chargé des gens qui ne commettaient aucun débordement ». « Ils ont tiré des grenades sur des familles, sur des jeunes gens, simplement parce qu'ils étaient rassemblés », a écrit la députée Clémence Guetté sur X. « La doctrine du maintien de l'ordre en France doit être revue de fond en comble, notamment concernant les grands événements », a-t-elle ajouté. Alors, que s'est-il passé samedi soir à Paris et dans plusieurs villes de France en marge des festivités ? Quelle stratégie de maintien de l'ordre a été mise en œuvre ? Pourquoi ces débordements ?

Nous sommes le 19 mai 1539, à Strasbourg. Le pasteur Jean Calvin, figure centrale de la réforme protestante, y officie sans être attaché à une église particulière. Ses amis, son entourage s'étonne de son peu d'empressement au mariage, lui qui en est un fervent défenseur. Il écrit à Guillaume Farel, autre acteur majeur dans la diffusion des idées nouvelles : « Je ne suis pas de ces amoureux insensés qui peuvent même admirer des défauts, une fois qu'ils ont été captivés par la beauté. La seule beauté qui m'attire est celle d'une femme pudique, complaisante, point coquette, économe, patiente, ayant l'espoir de veiller sur ma santé ». Quelques temps auparavant, il observait : « Le mariage, je l'avoue, entraîne des embarras nombreux et variés dont il est à souhaiter que les serviteurs du Christ soient affranchis, bien que lesdits embarras ne soient pas absolument de nature à les détourner de cette charge. Mais réciproquement le célibat a des inconvénients qui ne sont pas petits ni d'un seul genre. […] Du reste, je ne parle pas ici pour moi ; j'ai l'air d'être hostile à l'état de célibat, pourtant je ne suis point marié et j'ignore si jamais je le serai. Si je prends femme, ce sera pour mieux me consacrer à Dieu, affranchi de beaucoup de misères . Je ne le ferai en tout cas pas par incontinence, personne n'a sur ce point rien à me reprocher ». Quelle place Calvin laisse-t-il aux femmes au cœur de la société ? Le réformateur est-il le porte-parole du protestantisme en la matière ? A-t-il posé ses pas dans ceux de Luther ? Invitée : Laurence Druez, cheffe de travaux aux Archives de l'Etat, à Liège. sujets traités : Jean Calvin, Guillaume Farel, femmes, protestantisme, réforme Merci pour votre écoute Un Jour dans l'Histoire, c'est également en direct tous les jours de la semaine de 13h15 à 14h30 sur www.rtbf.be/lapremiere Retrouvez tous les épisodes d'Un Jour dans l'Histoire sur notre plateforme Auvio.be :https://auvio.rtbf.be/emission/5936 Intéressés par l'histoire ?

„Putem adera la UE și alături de România. Acum lucrăm din greu ca Republica Moldova să devină parte a UE și sperăm că acest lucru va funcționa. Dacă nu, vom lua în calcul și alte opțiuni. Obiectivul este să menținem Moldova în siguranță și parte a lumii libere. Nu vom permite Rusiei să ne amenința politica internă și externă, inclusiv prin intermediul Transnistriei. Aderarea la UE este esențială pentru ca Republica Moldova să poată supraviețui ca democrație”, declară președinta Maia Sandu într-un interviu acordat RFI și DW, în Parlamentul European de la Strasbourg. Temele ediției: - Criză de imagine pentru primarul Chișinăului, Ion Ceban, cel interzis în UE de către România pentru legături cu Rusia: o fostă subalternă face publice acte de corupție și de politizare a Primăriei Chișinău. Primăria Chișinău respinge acuzațiile și le califică drept nefondate. Miza nu mai ține doar de un conflict personal, ci de impactul asupra imaginii politice a lui Ion Ceban. Liliana Barbăroșie aduce detalii. - Documente confidențiale arată felul în care Kremlinul coordonează campaniile de influență ale unor actori ruși în țări europene. Printre numele amintite în investigație se află și cel al fostului deputat PSD și șef al Comisiei SRI, Sebastian Ghiță, patron al postului RomâniaTV. Detalii, în Eurocronica, semnată de Ovidiu Nahoi. - Așadar, numelui omului de afaceri român Sebastian Ghiță apare în contextul unor campanii coordonate de influențare politică și dezinformare, desfășurate de Kremlin în țările europene. Valeriu Pașa, directorul comunității Watchdog Moldova, care a consultat documentele scurse, a explicat la RFI cum a apărut numele lui Sebastian Ghiță în planurile de dezinformare. Un interviu realizat de Mădălina Șerban. „Resping toate aceste afirmații false despre legăturile mele cu Putin și Kremlinul făcute de agenții sorosiști”, a scris Sebastian Ghiță pe rețelele de socializare. - Șeful așa-zisului minister pentru securitate de la Tiraspol iese la atac și acuză Ucraina că stă în spatele așa-numitor atacuri teroriste din regiunea separatistă de acum 3 ani. De asemenea, acuză și Republica Moldova. Ce acuzații aduce Tiraspolul Chișinăului? Aflați în „Cronica lui Vitalie”, semnată de Vitalie Cojocari. - Guvernul Republicii Moldova și Fondul Monetar Internațional (FMI) au ajuns la un acord privind un nou program de cooperare pentru următorii 3 ani. - Cancelarul german a propus acordarea unui statut de „membru asociat” al Uniunii Europene pentru Ucraina. În ceea ce privește alte state candidate, inclusiv Republica Moldova, Friedrich Merz propune „soluții inovatoare” pentru accelerarea integrării europene. - Două alerte false cu bombă au fost înregistrate în noaptea de 21 mai la Aeroportul Internațional Chișinău. Știrile zilei: Guvernul Republicii Moldova și Fondul Monetar Internațional (FMI) au ajuns la un acord privind un nou program de cooperare pentru următorii 3 ani. Anunțul a fost făcut de prim-ministrul Alexandru Munteanu la ședința Guvernului. „Republica Moldova și FMI sunt pe aceeași lungime de undă în ceea ce privește direcția economică a țării”, a declarat Munteanu. „Un semnal clar că partenerii internaționali consideră că Republica Moldova are o echipă profesionistă, se mișcă într-o direcție corectă, într-un ritm bun, chiar și atunci când circumstanțele externe rămân foarte complicate”, a menționat premierul moldovean. „Noul program PCI, care este un program fără finanțare, conceput pentru a susține politici economice solide, confirmă angajamentul continuu al autorităților față de asigurarea stabilității macroeconomice și financiare și a creșterii economice durabile”, a declarat șefa misiunii FMI, Alina Iancu, la finalul vizitei. FMI arată că economia Republicii Moldova și-a revenit în 2025, însă rămâne vulnerabilă la șocuri externe, în special în sectorul energetic. PIB-ul a crescut anul trecut cu 2,4%, susținut de cererea internă și de redresarea sectorului agricol, iar inflația medie a fost de 7,8%. Pentru acest an, arată FMI, inflația în Republica Moldova ar putea depăși 8%, iar ritmul de creștere al economiei va încetini până la 1,5%. Instituția precizează că perspectivele economice ale țării depind în mare măsură de durata și intensitatea războiului din Orientul Mijlociu și a conflictului din Ucraina. *** După ce a deblocat suportul financiar de 90 de miliarde pentru Ucraina, noul premier al Ungariei pune condiții pentru aderarea țării vecine la UE și îl invită pe Volodimir Zelenski la dialog. Vorbind la o conferință de presă comună, la Varșovia, cu omologul său polonez Donald Tusk, Peter Magyar a spus tranșant că protejarea drepturilor minorității maghiare din Transcarpatia este o condiție prealabilă pentru acceptarea negocierilor cu Ucraina, scrie TV8. „Au început negocierile tehnice privind drepturile lingvistice, culturale și de altă natură ale minorității maghiare care trăiește în Carpați, astfel încât acestea să primească ceea ce se cuvine tuturor minorităților din Uniunea Europeană. Și sper și am încredere că această serie de negocieri va avea loc rapid și eficient și ne vom putea întâlni cu președintele Zelenski cândva la începutul lunii iunie”, a subliniat noul prim-ministru al Ungariei, Peter Magyar. Republica Moldova urmărește cu atenție poziția Ungariei privind deblocarea negocierilor cu Kievul, pentru că în acest moment este tratată la pachet cu Ucraina, iar în iunie mizează pe deschiderea negocierilor politice de aderare la UE. *** Cancelarul german Friedrich Merz a propus acordarea unui statut de „membru asociat” al Uniunii Europene pentru Ucraina, ca alternativă temporară la aderarea deplină, considerată nerealistă pe termen scurt din cauza procedurilor complexe și a obstacolelor politice existente în interiorul blocului comunitar. Potrivit agenției dpa, inițiativa a fost inclusă într-o scrisoare adresată conducerii Uniunii Europene, transmite Moldpres. Potrivit propunerii, Ucraina ar putea participa la reuniunile Consiliului European și ale Consiliului UE, însă fără drept de vot. Totodată, Kievul ar putea avea reprezentanți asociați în cadrul Comisiei Europene, Parlamentului European și Curții de Justiție a UE, dar fără competențe decizionale. În ceea ce privește alte state candidate, inclusiv Republica Moldova, Albania și Muntenegru, Friedrich Merz propune „soluții inovatoare” pentru accelerarea integrării europene. Printre acestea se numără acces preferențial la piața unică europeană, implicare mai strânsă în activitatea instituțiilor UE și statut de observator în anumite structuri comunitare. *** Nu există motive pentru a amâna deschiderea negocierilor de aderare a Republicii Moldova la UE pe toate clusterele, iar Consiliul European din iunie ar trebui să adopte o decizie favorabilă pentru Chișinău în acest sens. Declarația a fost făcută pentru NewsMaker de vicepreședintele Parlamentului European, Victor Negrescu. Acesta a mai spus că Transnistria nu reprezintă un impediment pentru aderarea Moldovei la UE, invocând precedentul Ciprului, stat membru cu un conflict teritorial nerezolvat, care deține în prezent președinția Consiliului Uniunii Europene. *** Și europarlamentarul Dan Barna cere instituțiilor UE să-și onoreze promisiunile față de Chișinău, în condițiile în care cinci rânduri de alegeri, Moldova a rezistat interferențelor Rusiei. Dan Barna a declarat corespondentului NewsMaker că blocajul instituit de Budapesta în procesul de extindere ar putea fi depășit în săptămânile următoare. *** Două alerte false cu bombă au fost înregistrate în noaptea de 21 mai la Aeroportul Internațional Chișinău. Pasagerii și personalul au fost evacuați conform procedurilor de securitate. Potrivit unui comunicat emis de Poliția de Frontieră, în urma verificărilor efectuate de serviciile specializate, nu au fost descoperite obiecte suspecte sau explozive. Zeci de alerge false cu bombă au fost înregistrate la aeroportul Chișinău în ultimii ani. Experții în securitate spun că acestea sunt elemente ale războiului hibrid purtat de forțele pro-ruse în contextul războiului din Ucraina, dar și a evoluțiilor politice interne din Republica Moldova, ca tentativă de a crea tensiuni și a scădea încrederea în instituții. „Situația a fost gestionată operativ și în condiții de siguranță, cu respectarea normelor de securitate”, anunță în comunicat Aeroportul Chișinău, în contextul incidentelor de noaptea trecută.

On a posé un micro au milieu de 5 pros de la location courte durée au Salon de la location saisonnière 2026. Yanis et Fred gèrent 80 sous-locations en Alsace, Audrey a créé Mister Sherlock (IA pour automatiser la communication voyageur), et Thibault est responsable marketing chez PriceLabs. Ce qui sort de cette discussion, c'est du brut, du concret et du vécu.Yanis et Fred détaillent leur modèle hybride : capter des artisans et professionnels via Booking, puis les passer en direct avec un tarif négocié à l'année pour remplir les périodes creuses. Ils ont même créé une coopérative de blanchisserie avec d'autres acteurs de leur secteur pour internaliser le linge à plus de 300 logements. Leur stratégie : diversifier les secteurs (Strasbourg, Colmar, Europa-Park, Vosges du Nord) et ne jamais dépendre d'un seul type de voyageur.Audrey présente Mister Sherlock, une IA qui gère la communication voyageur à l'écrit et au téléphone, avec une fonctionnalité d'upsell intégrée dans la conversation (kit bébé, early check-in, etc.) et un paiement Stripe automatisé.

La discussion dérive aussi sur l'investissement à l'étranger (Guadeloupe, Bali), les sites de réservation directe, et pourquoi décrocher le téléphone reste le meilleur outil commercial en LCD.

Après Paris, il n'y aura donc pas de Carlos Alcaraz à Wimbledon ! L'Espagnol a annoncé son forfait pour la saison sur gazon, le numéro 2 mondial n'est pas suffisamment remis de sa blessure au poignet droit. Vainqueurs de 2 des 3 derniers tournois du Queen's et de Wimbledon 2023 et 2024, c'est un nouveau coup dur pour Carlos Alcaraz, les organisateurs et les spectateurs. Jannik Sinner va-t-il continuer à régner seul ? le circuit ATP va-t-il devenir ennuyeux ? Mais la question principale est sans doute de savoir si Alcaraz, vainqueur de l'Open d'Australie, reviendra à temps pour l'US Open ou s'il se dirige vers une fin de saison blanche ?    Dans cette émission, nous reviendrons aussi les tournois de Hambourg, Strasbourg ainsi que les qualifications qui se poursuivent à Paris. Ce podcast est hébergé par Podcastics, la plateforme pour créer et diffuser votre podcast facilement.

Cum încearcă Chișinăul să reintegreze economic regiunea transnistreană? Republica Moldova încearcă să rezolve problema transnistreană înainte de aderarea la UE, un obiectiv asumat public pentru 2030. Autoritățile au început realizarea unor măsuri economice și fiscale comune pentru ambele maluri ale Nistrului, în timp ce Bruxellesul transmite că problema transnistreană nu va bloca parcursul european al țării. Totuși, opiniile locuitorilor din regiune sunt împărțite: unii văd viitorul alături de Uniunea Europeană, alții continuă să privească spre Rusia, chiar dacă aceasta nu mai alimentează regiunea separatistă cu gaze gratuite. În paralel, Moscova își consolidează influența în regiune prin facilitarea acordării cetățeniei ruse. Cât de realistă este reintegrarea Republicii Moldova în următorii ani, ce rol joacă Uniunea Europeană și Rusia în acest proces și care sunt provocările ce pot decide viitorul regiuni? Un reportaj realizat de Liliana Barbăroșie în comun cu colegii noștri de la Deutsche Welle. Iată temele ediției: - Maia Sandu a fost decorată cu Ordinul European de Merit și a fost aplaudată în picioare după ce a vorbit în Parlamentul de la Strasbourg. - Odată cu schimbarea dinamicii războiului din Ucraina, tot mai mulți experți vorbesc despre o posibilă „fereastră de oportunitate” pentru a găsi o soluție la problema Transnistriei. La o conferință de la București dedicată securității la Marea Neagră, experți din Republica Moldova, Ucraina, România și Statele Unite au analizat viitorul regiunii separatiste susținute de Moscova. Mădălina Șerban a sintetizat discuțiile. - Regiunea separatistă Transnistria se pregătește de două evenimente majore: Așa-numitele alegeri prezidențiale și începerea acordării în masă de cetățenii rusești locuitorilor din stânga Nistrului. Despre reacțiile la aceste două evenimente ne vorbește Vitalie Cojocari în ”Cronica lui Vitalie”. - Președinta Parlamentului European, Roberta Metsola, spune că Moldova este parte a Europei. - Maia Sandu declară, în contextul controversei legate de scorul mic oferit de jurul moldovean României la Eurovision că cetățenii din Republica Moldova și România nu ar trebuie să lase nimic să deterioreze relația dintre cele două state.  - UE rămâne principalul partener comercial al Republicii Moldova. Iar România este principala destinație a exporturilor moldovenești, cu aproape o treime din volume. Știrile zilei: Maia Sandu a fost decorată marți cu Ordinul European de Merit și a fost aplaudată în picioare după ce a vorbit în Parlamentul de la Strasbourg. Noua distincție a UE a fost creată pentru personalitățile care au contribuit la integrarea, unitatea și democrația europeană. „Ordinul European aparține cetățenilor Republicii Moldova, cei care votează de decenii pentru apropierea de Uniunea Europeană, a declarat Maia Sandu. Acest merit trebuie să fie recompensat, astfel încât Moldova să meargă înainte în procesul de integrare europeană”, a subliniat președinta de la Chișinău atât în plenul parlamentului, cât și la conferința de presă pe care a susținut-o ulterior cu președinta legislativului european, Roberta Metsola. „Suntem gata să deschidem negocierile pe toate capitolele. Atât Comisia, cât și Consiliul afirmă că suntem pregătiți. Moldova își respectă angajamentele asumate, pas cu pas. Un proces de aderare credibil, bazat pe merite, necesită eforturi din partea ambelor părți. Iar Moldova își respectă partea sa de angajament”, a declarat Maia Sandu. La rândul său, președinta Parlamentului European, Roberta Metsola, a subliniat că Moldova este parte a Europei. „Locul Moldovei este în Uniunea Europeană, iar în acest demers puteți conta pe Parlamentul European ca pe un aliat puternic care va contribui la transformarea acestui vis în realitate. Astăzi este, de asemenea, o onoare pentru noi să vă recunoaștem leadershipul prin Ordinul de Merit al Uniunii Europene. Am avut onoarea de a vă vedea curajul, claritatea și statornicia de-a lungul anilor. Angajamentul dumneavoastră nu doar modelează Moldova, ci și restul Europei. Vedem cum se creează un impuls acum și nu putem lăsa ca acesta să se oprească. Poporul moldovean a ales Europa. Vă îndreptați cu determinare spre aderare și, în ciuda interferențelor constante ale Rusiei și a încercărilor de a vă destabiliza țara, rămâneți ferm ancorați în valorile noastre democratice comune. Acest lucru se datorează rezilienței poporului dumneavoastră și conducerii dumneavoastră calme, clare și bazate pe principii. Așadar, mesajul meu de astăzi este, în cele mai clare cuvinte posibile, că Parlamentul European va continua să sprijine Moldova în toate modurile posibile”, a mai declarat la Strasbourg președinta PE, Roberta Metsola *** În cadrul conferinței de presă a de la Strasbourg, Maia Sandu a comentat și controversa legată de scorul mic oferit de jurul moldovean României la Eurovision. „Cetățenii din Republica Moldova și România nu ar trebuie să lase nimic să deterioreze relația dintre cele două state. «Cel mai important» este că publicul din Republica Moldova a oferit punctaj maxim. Aceasta este cea mai importantă parte”, a declarat Maia Sandu. *** UE rămâne principalul partener comercial al Republicii Moldova. Potrivit datelor Biroului Național de Statistică, citate de Delegația UE în Republica Moldova, ponderea exporturilor moldovenești către piața europeană a depășit anul trecut 68,1% din totalul exporturilor. Valoric, exporturile în statele membre ale UE au depășit 2,55 miliarde de dolari. Evoluția confirmă tendința ascendentă din ultimii ani, cu creștere constantă acumulând 10% în ultimii trei ani. Printre principalele categorii de produse exportate de Republica Moldova se numără echipamentele electrice, produsele agricole, mobilierul, grăsimile și uleiurile, precum și vinurile și băuturile. Principalele destinații au fost România, unde merg aproape o treime din exporturile moldovenești, cu o pondere de 29,2%, urmată de Italia și Cehia, cu puțin sub 10 la sută fiecare, și Germania și Bulgaria, cu o cotă de aproximativ 4 la sută. *** Șeful pretinsului minister al securității din Transnistria, Valeri Ghebos, s-a plâns într-un interviu presei ruse că administrația constituțională de la Chișinău ar intenționa să se implice în alegerea noului lider al regiunii. Așa-numitul scrutin urmează să aibă loc în decembrie. Acesta a declarat că autoritățile de la Chișinău ar planifica să exercite presiuni, șantaj și să intimideze membrii pretinsei comisii electorale din regiunea separatistă. „Declarații speculative și lipsite de credibilitate”, așa a calificat afirmațiile Tiraspolului Serviciul de Informații și Securitate (SIS) de la Chișinău, la solicitarea portalului realitatea.md. „Instituțiile competente ale statului își desfășoară activitatea exclusiv în baza legii și în interesul Republicii Moldova”, au precizat reprezentanții autorității de la Chișinău. *** O premieră în R. Moldova: elevii au susținut evaluarea națională la limba și literatura română în format digital. Aproximativ 150 de elevi au testat noul sistem și au susținut evaluarea utilizând o platformă digitală. Pilotarea testării online va continua și în perioada următoare. Pe 21 mai, elevii din instituțiile implicate în proiectul pilot vor susține, tot în premieră și în format digital, evaluarea la disciplina Științe.

Președinta Republicii Moldova, Maia Sandu, este în plin turneu în Europa. Marți a fost la Strasbourg, la Parlamentul European, unde a fost decorată cu Ordinul European de Merit, astăzi este în Țările de Jos și mîine, 21 mai, va ajunge în Republica Cehă. Maia Sandu a fost decorată ieri, în plenul Parlamentului European, cu Ordinul European de Merit, o distincţie instituită în 2025, cu ocazia împlinirii a 75 de ani de la Declaraţia Schuman, actul fondator al comunităţii europene. Ordinul a fost acordat, pentru prima oară anul acesta, personalităţilor care au contribuit la promovarea valorilor europene şi la consolidarea proiectului european. Între ele se numără: preşedintele Ucrainei, Volodimir Zelenski, fosta cancelară germană Angela Merkel, fostul lider al Solidarność și fostul președinte al Poloniei Lech Wałęsa. Ce reprezintă această distincţie primită de preşedinta Moldovei pentru Moldova? Care ar fi orizontul realist de timp pentru aderarea Republicii Moldova la Uniunea Europeană? L-am întrebat pe jurnalistul Vitalie Călugăreanu, corespondent Deutsche Welle în Republica Moldova.Vitalie Călugăreanu: „În 2018, 2019 chiar, puțini în Republica Moldova se gîndeau că Republica Moldova poate să ajungă în 2025, 2026 la această fază avansată a discuțiilor de aderare cu Uniunea Europeană. Să nu uităm că noi am ieșit dintr-o guvernare oligarhică, cleptocratică la Chișinău, dominată de Vladimir Plahotniuc, acum condamnat în Republica Moldova, care își permitea să anuleze alegeri. În Republica Moldova, în 2018, în Chișinău, a anulat alegerile locale. Republica Moldova era absolut izolată în momentul în care Maia Sandu a preluat conducerea acestei țări, tocmai din cauza faptului că acest oligarh preluase controlul asupra instituțiilor statului și şi le-a subordonat. Să ne amintim de acele trei rezoluții ale Parlamentului European, care condamnau derapajele din Republica Moldova. Toate finanțările proiectelor pe justiție erau blocate. Iată că, într-o perioadă destul de scurtă, Republica Moldova a putut să avanseze, tocmai datorită imaginii pe care o are președinta Maia Sandu și eforturilor pe care le-a făcut anume dumneaei în acest parcurs pe care îl are astăzi Republica Moldova. Noi sîntem mîndri de ceea ce vedem. Nu știu dacă s-a mai întîmplat sau dacă se va mai întîmpla vreodată ca Republica Moldova să fie aplaudată în picioare în Parlamentul European.”Președinta Maia Sandu a făcut apel la instituțiile europene să permită Republicii Moldova să înainteze pe drumul său european, dar ce șanse sînt pentru ca Moldova să înceapă negocierile de aderare?Vitalie Călugăreanu: „Maia Sandu a spus nu o dată că Republica Moldova nu are timp și a repetat asta ori de cîte ori a fost la o tribună internațională, pentru a transmite un semnal cancelariilor europene și Occidentului, în general. Noi ne facem temele în ceea ce privește integrarea europeană, dar și deschiderea Uniunii Europene ar trebui să fie un pic alta. E nevoie ca aceste proceduri birocratice să fie simplificate. Mai e și poziționarea Republicii Moldova la pachet cu Ucraina. Au fost acele probleme cu Ungaria care a blocat Ucraina și, prin ricoșeu, a blocat și Republica Moldova. Nu știm încă ce va face Ungaria de aici încolo. Așteptăm întîlnirea noii conduceri a Ungariei cu președintele Zelenski. Noi avem o fereastră de oportunitate tare scurtă. 2026 este anul în care Republica Moldova trebuie să înceapă neapărat negocierile de aderare cu Uniunea Europeană, pentru că în 2027 urmează să aibă loc alegeri în mai multe state, membre ale UE, inclusiv în Franța. Şi am văzut care sînt predispozițiile acolo și s-ar putea să apară noi blocaje. (...) 2030 este anul aderării, 2028 este anul semnării tratatului de aderare cu Uniunea Europeană. Și sînt calcule politice foarte clare. Este actualul mandat al Maiei Sandu și actualul mandat al partidului pe care l-a creat Maia Sandu. Nu cred că Republica Moldova după 2030 va mai avea un astfel de aranjament politic atît de favorabil în ceea ce priveşte aderarea sau opțiunea pro-europeană. De asta este important ca lucrurile să se întîmple în acest interval de timp, pînă în 2030. Semnanele pe care le-a dat Maia Sandu în sensul ăsta sînt foarte clare și am văzut că nu mai încearcă să ocolească lucrurile. Le spune destul de tranșant: dacă nu ne primiți pînă în 2030, noi o să mergem pe planul B. Iar planul B înseamnă unirea cu România, despre care tot vorbește președinta Maia Sandu, inclusiv în interviul de azi pentru Deutsche Welle.”Care este atmosfera în Republica Moldova, în ce măsură cetățenii susțin proiectul de aderare la UE?Vitalie Călugăreanu: „Noi am avut un referendum constituțional pe tema integrării europene a Republicii Moldova şi alegeri prezidențiale în 2024. Referendumul pro-european a fost cîștigat de forțele pro-europene. Alegerile prezidențiale au fost recîștigate de Maia Sandu. Iar în 2025 alegerile parlamentare au fost cîștigate de partidul PAS, pe care l-a creat Maia Sandu, un partid pro-prezidențial care are majoritate în actualul Parlament. Deci așa pot să vă răspund: există o majoritate de aproape 60% din cetățenii Republicii Moldova care își doresc integrarea în Uniunea Europeană. Dar asta nu înseamnă că propaganda rusească a încetat să mai lucreze. Am avut liniște 3 zile după alegerile parlamentare, cînd Rusia a mai pierdut o dată electoral în Republica Moldova. Era tare liniște în online. După care acest război propagandistic a fost reluat. În momentul acesta, din ce vedem în sondaje, partidele pro-ruse și falșii pro-europeni cîștigă teren. De asta ziceam că această situație politică pe care o avem, foarte convenabilă, trebuie valorificată la maximum, astfel încît să împingem cît de tare putem Republica Moldova în marea familie europeană, la adăpost. Pentru că integrarea în UE este pentru Republica Moldova un proiect existențial. Noi o altă umbrelă economică, politică și de securitate nu avem. De asta este atît de important pentru Republica Moldova să se pună la adăpost în acest interval de timp.”Apasă PLAY pentru a asculta interviul integral! O emisiune de Adela Greceanu și Matei Martin Un produs Radio România Cultural

I'm still on vacation, but I can't drive through Europe without noticing the crime stories hiding in plain sight. In this final segment of this European Roadtrip, I travel through Strasbourg, Luxembourg, Paris, and Antwerp, digging into some of the most consequential crimes tied to this route. We're talking about the Strasbourg Christmas market attack and the Bridge of the Butchers, Luxembourg's (Bomb-uh-layer) bombings, the November 2015 Paris attacks, and the Antwerp diamond heist.It's a quick trip from local mid-evil justice on the banks of the river to terrorism, organized theft and the quiet ways offenders study vulnerability. Crowds, routine, access, timing, distraction, all of it matters. And while these cases are very different, they all teach us something about how criminals think, how systems get tested, and what modern travelers can still do to stay alert without giving in to fear. So yes, I'm technically on holiday, but crime doesn't take vacations, and neither does my curiosity.#ProfilingEvil #TrueCrime #Strasbourg #Luxembourg #ParisAttacks #AntwerpDiamondHeist #Bommeleeer #TravelSafety #CrimeTravel #EuropeRoadTrip #CriminalBehavior #Schindbrucke#BridgeoftheButchers #RousseauBridge #CrowBridge #GIS #ArcGIS #CrimeMapping #Map #CrimeAnalysis========================================CrimeCon Discount Code: https://crimecon.regfox.com/cctw3ntys1x (In Voucher/Coupon area, enter: PROFILINGEVIL========================================https://gamutpodcasts.com/show/gardensofevilinsidethezionsocietycult/========================================20% OFF Newspapers.comhttps://www.newspapers.com/go/podcast/?ref=profilingevil?xid=8877&utm_source=ProfilingEvilPodcast&utm_medium=podcst&utm_campaign=ProfilingEvil26========================================Email your questions to: ProfilingEvil@gmail.com========================================

Cancer care is often centered on treatment plans and test results, but this conversation with Jean-Denis Bogot focuses on caring for the whole person. Drawing from more than 25 years of experience in oncology, Dr. Bogot shares how he combines homeopathy with conventional cancer care to help patients manage fatigue, pain, and chemotherapy side effects. He also talks about the importance of individualized treatment and creating an integrative environment where different forms of supportive care work together. One of the most memorable moments is his story of an 88-year-old breast cancer patient whose quality of life improved through a balanced approach to treatment. Episode Highlights: 04:16 - Dr Bagot's Journey into Homeopathy 05:51 - The Importance of Integrative Medicine 09:01 - Cultural Acceptance of Homeopathy in France 12:30 - Introduction to Shisso 14:25 - Homeopathy Usage Statistics in Cancer Care 18:13 - The Integrative Care Facility in Strasbourg 28:07 - Therapeutic Meals and Patient Experience 30:45 - Clinical Case Study: Successful Homeopathy in Oncology 40:35 - The Role of Homeopathy in Managing Side Effects 42:10 - N-of-1 trials: A Personalised Approach 49:28 - Engaging Oncologists: Making the Case for Homeopathy 51:51 - The Value of Patient-Centred Care About my Guests: Jean-Lionel Bagot is a French medical doctor and internationally recognised pioneer in integrative oncology and homeopathic supportive care. Born in 1957, he has devoted more than three decades to caring for cancer patients through both conventional and complementary approaches to medicine. He worked extensively in the oncology department in Strasbourg, France, while also maintaining a private practice dedicated to supportive cancer care. Early in his medical career, he specialised in homeopathy, recognising its safety, effectiveness, and compatibility with conventional cancer treatments. For more than 20 years, he has taught homeopathy at the Faculty of Medicine and Pharmacy in Strasbourg and currently serves as the coordinating physician for the Integrative Care Outpatients Department at the Saint Vincent Hospital Group. Dr. Bagot is the founder and president of the International Homeopathic Society for Supportive Care in Oncology (SHISSO), established in 2016. He is also the author of Cancer and Homeopathy, one of the first practical guides on the use of homeopathy in supportive cancer care for both patients and healthcare professionals. In addition to his clinical work, he has published 65 peer-reviewed scientific articles with DOIs, receiving more than 381 citations and achieving an h-index of 10. He serves on the scientific board of the French Society of Integrative Oncology (SFOI) and is an associate member of the University College of Integrative and Complementary Medicine (CUMIC). His academic qualifications include diplomas in Medical Pedagogy, Clinical Oncology, and Oncological Practice from leading universities in France.

The Girl on the Beach by Carol Snow“In a world of privilege and pretense, a young girl vanishes. Carol Snow's propulsive and gripping The Girl On The Beach reels you in with a darkly charged love triangle and rich, compelling characters—none of them innocent. Just when you think you understand what happened, a shocking twist upends everything.” —Mary Dixie Carter, author of Marguerite by the Lake and The PhotographerA missing child. A shattered family. And a truth that refuses to stay buried.Acclaimed novelist Carol Snow returns with The Girl on the Beach (Crooked Lane Books; June 23, 2026), a gripping psychological thriller set against the deceptively idyllic coastline of Santa Barbara's “American Riviera.”When four-year-old Roxie Starr disappears into the Pacific Ocean on a perfect summer day, the tragedy destroys her glamorous, high-profile family and leaves their young nanny, Colleen, haunted by guilt. Months later, Colleen returns to the beach house and sees something impossible: a child who looks exactly like Roxie.What follows is a chilling unraveling of memory, grief, and truth as Colleen questions everything she thought she knew about that day and the family she once trusted.With a dual timeline that moves between a sunlit summer and a shadowed aftermath, The Girl on the Beach explores: ● The unreliability of memory ● The psychology of guilt and trauma ● The secrets hidden beneath wealth and privilege Perfect for fans of psychological suspense, the novel builds to a jaw-dropping twist.Carol Snow is an American author of ten novels, most recently THE GIRL ON THE BEACH, a psychological thriller slated for June 2026 publication. Called “an author to watch” by Booklist, recognition for Snow's previous titles includes: Target Bookmarked Breakout Selection, Amazon Editors' Pick: Best Books of the Month, and Readers' Crown Award Finalist.Foreign rights to Snow's books have been sold to publishers in Germany, Norway, Poland, Indonesia, and Hungary. A former contributor to Salon's “Mother's Who Think” column, her writing has also appeared in The Los Angeles Review of Books and Park City Magazine.Carol Snow holds a BA in psychology from Brown University and an MA in teaching English from Boston College. A native of New Jersey, she has lived all over the US, as well as in Strasbourg, France, and London, England.

Episode Notes ANDREW OMOBAMIDELE OPENS UP!

The final European Thursday of the season has come and gone, and we have two pairs of finalists to show for it! We express our excitement at the spectacle, as 3 of our 4 winners qualified for their first ever major European final (and the 4th, Aston Villa, returns to one after 44 years). First we tackle the Europa League, where Villa dismantled a shoddy and somewhat short-handed Nottingham Forest. Can anyone beat Villa when they're their best? And is Emery just inevitable in this competition? We then discuss how Freiburg handled 10-men Braga, thanks in part to an early red card and the young Swiss #10 Manzambi. In the Conference League, Palace punished a vibrant but naive Shakhtar with ruthless counter-attacking and an experience Rayo Vallecano pressed the life out of the youthful Strasbourg. We explore how both Rayo and Palace controlled their respective games without the ball, each in very different ways, and look ahead to how these styles might clash in the final. Finally, we make our tentative predictions for the showdowns in Istanbul and Wrocław. Cheers to Iñigo Pérez! Timecodes: 00:50 – the start, clubs rotating players ahead of semifinals 7:28 – Aston Villa-Nottingham Forest 21:15 – Freiburg-Braga 34:47 – Quick UEL final thoughts 38:06 – Crystal Palace-Shakhtar Donetsk 50:47 – RC Strasbourg-Rayo Vallecano 01:12:13 – Quick UECL final thoughts 01:16:28 – Are we at risk of English clubs dominating the UEL & UECL?

A film about bureaucracy, jazz, and the story of how three cities:Strasbourg, Luxembourg & Brussels, became the unlikely home of a continent's big idea. It's the founding question nobody thought to ask. Six nations sat down after World War II, determined never to fight again, and forgot to decide where they'd actually meet. In the middle of the night on July 23rd, 1952, exhausted negotiators gave up trying to agree and said: let's just start in Luxembourg and see what happens. That glorious act of improvisation is the beating heart of Europe: Three Cities, One Roof, a new documentary by Luxembourgish director Donato Rotunno that lands just in time for Europe Day. And on this special Friday show, Lisa brings together three brilliant guests to dig into what Europe actually means right now, and what it should mean for the next generation. "We structured 70 years of European integration with a tone closer to a thriller and a crime drama than an institutional film." Donato Rotunno, director The film is extraordinary because it explains European institutions through the story of people who actually built them. Jean-Claude Juncker, Colette Flesch, Louis Michel, Catherine Trautmann: these are political titans, speaking freely now that the cameras of official duty have gone, mostly. What comes out is funny, candid, and unexpectedly moving. And the music? Pascal Schumacher locked himself and his musicians in a studio for three days before a single frame was shot. The jazz score came first: a deliberate choice, because jazz, like Europe, is built on improvisation, risk, and the hope that something beautiful emerges from the chaos. "For once, the music came before the images. Perhaps that is what creates this synergy - a process of trial and error, sometimes haphazard, spanning seventy years." Donato Rotunno On the show, Anne Calteux, Head of the Representation of the European Commission to Luxembourg, unpacks what the EU is actually doing right now, and why this year's Europe Day heads to Wiltz, in the rural north, as part of the campaign Hei & an Europa doheem! (Home here and in Europe). It's a bold, co-created initiative: five graffiti murals spread across the Grand Duchy, from Esch to Dudelange to Bissen, built on a simple truth: Europe isn't just a Brussels thing. It's everywhere, including in the places that rarely make the headlines. And Ellen Spencer brings a brilliant opportunity from the Rotary Club Luxembourg Hearts ( https://lu.linkedin.com/company/rcl-hearts). She coordinates Europe 4 Europe ( https://europe4europe.com): a remarkable EU Rotary youth initiative that brings 27 young people - one from every EU member state - on a shared journey through the founding EU countries. The programme fosters connection, intercultural awareness, and civic participation in ways that no policy document ever could. Rotary Club Luxembourg Hearts has been a quiet but powerful force behind this kind of grassroots European engagement for years, and Ellen's work is a perfect example of why. The friendships formed along the way, she says, are the most powerful outcome of all. "European identity isn't abstract, it's something young people experience very quickly when they meet, live, and travel together." Ellen Spencer, Europe 4 Europe coordinator, Rotary Club Luxembourg Hearts Meet the guests Donato Rotunno - Director & Producer, Tarantula Born in Luxembourg in 1966, Rotunno founded Tarantula Luxembourg ( https://www.tarantula.lu) in 1995 and has produced over 50 feature films. A politically engaged filmmaker, his work on immigration, identity and European politics has twice represented Luxembourg at the Oscars. Anne Calteux - Head of the Representation of the European Commission to Luxembourg One of Luxembourg's most authoritative voices on EU affairs, Anne leads the European Commission's Representation here in the Grand Duchy. This Europe Day she's taking the celebrations somewhere unexpected - to the countryside - to prove that Europe lives in every corner of the country, not just the capital. Ellen Spencer - Rotary Club Luxembourg Hearts · Europe 4 Europe A global citizen living in Luxembourg for nearly 20 years, Ellen coordinates Europe 4 Europe ( https://europe4europe.com) through the Rotary Club Luxembourg Hearts network — sending 27 young Europeans, one per member state, on a journey through the founding EU countries. Her mission: reach the young people who don't yet see themselves as part of the European conversation. This is Europe Day as it should be celebrated - a living question. What are we building? Who gets to be part of it? And why does it still matter? Tune in, follow along, and bring a friend who questions Europe.

It was a compelling day of Europa and Conference League football, with 3 of the 4 home sides taking goal-advantages in the 1st leg of the semifinals. Braga strengthened their case as the UEL's team of destiny, delighting their fans with a stoppage-time winner over Freiburg, while Forest edged past Villa 1-0 thanks to Chris Wood penalty. In the UECL, Rayo Vallecano rode a confident 2nd-half display to take a narrow lead into Strasbourg next Thursday, and Crystal Palace impressed with a brutally efficient 3-1 display over Shakhtar.

Transcription Notes: Michael Hingson  00:04 What if the biggest thing holding you back isn't what's in front of you, but rather what you believe Welcome to unstoppable mindset where inclusion, diversity and the unexpected meet. I'm your host. Michael hingson, speaker, author and advocate for inclusion and possibilities. This podcast explores how the beliefs we carry shape the way we live, lead and connect with others. Each week, I talk with people who challenge assumptions, face adversity head on and show what's possible when we choose curiosity over fear, together, we focus on mindset resilience and the small shifts that lead to meaningful change. Let's get started. Hello everyone, and welcome once again to another episode of unstoppable mindset. I'm really excited to be here today. We've been waiting for this one for a while, and I'm glad we were finally able to do it. I found Dana Prenger online, and her boss and she decided to come on, and then we'll have to get her boss on, because then we want to find out the real truth about Dana. Dana Prenger  01:28 Yes, thanks, Michael, thanks. Michael Hingson  01:31 I'm such a big help, right? But Dana, Dana Prenger  01:35 I was debating on joining. I was like, we should have John, the president of smart solve, share about our story first, and I didn't feel worthy enough to share my story right away, but Michael was very reassuring, and it's like you got this let's give it a go. Michael Hingson  01:48 Yeah, you can tell us a little about smart solve. It's not going to affect having John on because he'll tell more of the story, and he'll tell it from his point of view. So I'm not too worried about that? Well, Dana. Dana is a marketing person. She graduated from Bowling Green State University. I didn't know it was a state university, Dana Prenger  02:10 yep, BGSU. A lot of people get confused with Bowling Green. They think of Kentucky, but northern Ohio, yeah, nice College in town. Oh, cool. Is it? How large is it? Pretty big. It's a d1 school. Michael Hingson  02:25 When I went to UC Irvine, out here in California, one of the reasons I went was that it was a small school. It was actually a new school. The year I was a freshman, was the first year they actually had a graduating class at UC Irvine, there were, like about 2500 2600 students. They had their first graduating class, and I went and visited it in 19, excuse me, in 2024 because when I left, they were just getting ready to start a phi, beta, Kappa chapter, and it was too late for me to become a member. And in 2023 the there was a, there's a magazine that generally is all about Sigma Pi Sigma, the physics honor society. And they discovered me, and they wanted to do an interview. And during the interview, as I love to put it, I shot off my mouth and said that, in fact, I was was going to the school when they were forming the phi, beta, Kappa chapter, but it was too late for me to join, because I was leaving. And one of the people who read that story was a physics professor who came to UC Irvine, basically the year I left, and she is still there. She's still a professor. And she called me and she said, I am the historian for the local mu chapter of Phi Beta, kappa, and we want you to come back and become an honorary member of Phi two. Well, a member of, I guess it'd be an honorary it's not an honorary member. I'm actually a member, but it's of later on, not at the time being a student. So anyway, I went back down and there are 32,000 undergrads at that campus. Now it's crazy. Dana Prenger  04:16 Wow. So cool to see the growth. Michael Hingson  04:18 Of course, UC Irvine or UCI, as they love to say. UCI actually stands for under construction indefinitely, because they're always building something there. Dana Prenger  04:30 It's crazy. Yeah, yeah. BGSU has around 4000 students, so it's cool that it's a big enough college, but they had really great professors and instructors where you didn't feel like just a number there, you got to know people by name. I was involved, yeah, and a lot of different student groups. One of the programs that was really cool was being a life design student ambassador. Michael Hingson  04:53 Ah, well, we'll have to talk about that. But I like, I like the size 4000 is plenty low. Large that's pretty cool. Well, tell us a little bit about you, the the the early Dana, growing up and all that. Where did you grow up? And tell us about some of that. Dana Prenger  05:10 Yeah, of course. I grew up in a small town, Minster, Ohio, so that town's a lot smaller than, Bg, about a square mile. Very good community. A lot of my family's from there. My mom's a school teacher at the school. So very great place to grow up, good traditions, and it's still close to Bowling Green, so it's an hour and a half drive away, so I still go home quite frequently and visit family and friends. Michael Hingson  05:36 So you went you went to school. What time were you Where did you come from? Where were you born? Dana Prenger  05:43 Yeah, born in a local hospital, right near Minster, Minster, Minster, Ohio. We have a lot of German heritage. We do a big Oktoberfest festival every year, which draws a lot of people to it. But besides that, a lot of corn fields. Grandpa's a farmer family. Michael Hingson  06:01 So are you a beer drinker? Dana Prenger  06:05 Yes, I am. I Michael Hingson  06:07 never did like the taste of beer, but that's okay. I did take three years of high school German, so maybe that counts for something. Yeah, there you go. Well, so you, you, you went to school. There you went to high school and all that, and then you decided to go to Bowling Green, huh? Dana Prenger  06:26 Yep, and that's the thing I liked about being in this from a small town, you got to do a lot of things. I was very much a multi tasker, or tried to be well rounded as I could be So, doing school, different clubs, sports. I was a three sport athlete, doing volleyball, basketball and track. So coming to BG, it was fun. I did like an intramural volleyball league. And, yeah, I chose BG. A lot of people, kind of from our area, went there. After being on campus, it did feel kind of like a second version of home. Michael Hingson  06:59 So Wow. So three sports, that's that's pretty cool. That kept you busy. Dana Prenger  07:05 Thanks, yes. And I graduated minster in 2021 so I'm not sure if you, I might be your youngest podcast guest you've had on, Michael. You might Michael Hingson  07:15 be well. You clearly have done well. So you graduated from school in minster in 2021 Dana Prenger  07:22 Yeah, I was born in 2000 to June of 2002 so yeah, nine months after 911 911 Michael Hingson  07:30 so for you, though you were at Bowling Green State four years, Dana Prenger  07:37 three years. Oh, you graduated a year early Michael Hingson  07:40 for you. Now, when you graduated, you were what second in your class? Dana Prenger  07:50 Yep, from Minster. Yep, I was a salutatorian, so had to give a speech at my high school graduation ceremony, Michael Hingson  07:57 and so, so what did you talk about as a as a speaker, as a salutatorian? Dana Prenger  08:05 I shared a story and equated kind of the grade schools reflecting on memories as a clock. So I was like, as the clock strikes one, and I would throw in a funny little memory from first grade to second to third, kind of going around until it was clock striking 12 as we're about to graduate. Michael Hingson  08:23 There you go. So you you had some experience at public speaking? Do you still do public speaking today? Dana Prenger  08:30 I've joined a few podcasts before, but being in marketing too, when students come or groups visit, smart solve, I'll do some speaking there, but not near as much speaking engagements or experience that you have well. Michael Hingson  08:48 So you, you went right into Bowling Green, and you decided right up front you were going to do marketing. Or what did you major in at first? Or did you always stick to one? Dana Prenger  08:59 I was debating between two things. So yeah, I liked marketing, like the business element. I had an older brother who went to BGSU as well. He was in the College of Business. But I also liked design. And in high school, I was on the yearbook committee. So I liked to take pictures, like to design the pages. So I tried out a few different classes before officially declaring my major. VCT is the program visual communication technology. I took a few classes in that but ultimately, after my first year, decided to go on with business and marketing as my specialization. Michael Hingson  09:37 Well. But even so, VCT is, in a sense, related to marketing, although I understand it's a specialty as well, correct? Dana Prenger  09:48 Yep, very much related into it work hand in hand. I'm actually hiring for a digital content coordinator right now, so it's cool to have somebody that I'm looking for. With more of that specialized experience Michael Hingson  10:04 and and are we looking at people from Bowling Green? Dana Prenger  10:08 Yep, it's a in person position. So looking at people around the area or willing to commute? Michael Hingson  10:15 Yeah, because otherwise, bringing somebody in from out of state or from a long way away, and paying moving expenses and all that. That's a bigger challenge. Dana Prenger  10:25 Yeah, and one of the things I was involved at at BGSU that I really loved this program, it was a new program they were implementing called Life Design. So basically, it's based off of the book and research that the Stanford Bill Burnett and Dave Evans did, designing your life, but basically saying that a lot of students come and come to college and don't know their major and are undecided and trying to figure out classes. So it's just a way to build community along the way, and it's a class for first year students to help them prototype different pathways and different avenues for their life. Michael Hingson  11:05 And so do they get a chance to look at different kinds of curriculum, different disciplines and so on? Dana Prenger  11:11 Yep, different curriculum, different careers, thinking, planning out your years. If you would go in this major, join this major, do this club, basically just getting people to think outside of the box, and prototype is a big word that they used in design different pathways that work for you. How's that working? Yeah, it was really great program. I was one of the first people to come as a freshman, to have that class, and then the class evolved and grew. My second year at BG, when I became the life design ambassador, I joined the class and was helping the first year students out, and the program continued to grow, continued to grow. We actually had a new building dedication, Jeffrey, Jeff and Jan, rad, Bill center for life design, so I got to be a part of the whole new building opening, grand ribbon cutting ceremony. And just cool to see something build up. Michael Hingson  12:10 Is it still going on? Dana Prenger  12:12 Yeah, still going on. And it's a big kind of differentiator of what BGSU has compared to other colleges across Yes, Michael Hingson  12:20 I can imagine that is pretty unique, but it really sounds like a great tool, because I think a lot of people aren't necessarily as ready, and I don't know whether as ready as is the right way to put it, but as ready to make a commitment as to what major or maybe this Is that people want to really look at options before they make a decision. But either way, it's great to have that kind of a program, Dana Prenger  12:47 and being a student ambassador just helped students get adjusted. Like this is the first time a lot of kids are living off on their own, and so just being there as a reference and resource for them some things they don't feel comfortable asking a professor even just about living in a dorm or college life. I was there for a group of students. Michael Hingson  13:08 Yeah, well, I remember going down to UC Irvine and starting and I didn't know a lot about a lot of the different things that would go on. But for us back in the day, as it were, you were just kind of thrust into it and you you could learn it and but again, I think that's one of the reasons I really liked the fact that it was a fairly small college or university at the time, and I remember I was put in the dorm with all of The athletes for the campus not being an athlete, but they had World Champion water polo team and other things like that. And people would occasionally pray play pranks on me, until the day came when I got to play a prank on them. Gained a lot of respect for that. So I was pretty cool. Dana Prenger  14:00 Are you going to share the prank or keep it a secret? Michael Hingson  14:03 Well, what happened was my my guide dog, my first guide dog, Squire, who's a golden retriever with a wicked sense of humor. Squire was in my room and I was next door with another freshman. We were trying to solve a physics problem. My master's is in physics. I went back into my room and there was no squire. Well, it turns out that they had stolen squire, and they hid him and and I kind of figured that part out, but I went through the dorm looking and of course, everybody was snickering and watching me. I went into the restroom and called him, and he didn't respond. He you know, I didn't hear him anywhere. I even opened the showers, and there was no response. And finally, one of the students who had seen all this happen came over and he said, Look, Squire is in the shower. Or and we went in and opened the door, and Squire comes right out, bouncing and having a good old time, having put it all over on me, as it were. But what we did was they didn't, you know, most all the students weren't paying attention to the fact that this guy was showing me where Squire was. We hit squire again, and I went out and got really ticked, saying, What did you guys do with my dog? I'm sure you took the dog, and everybody was laughing, always in the shower, and they went in the shower, and there's no dog because we hit him elsewhere. So, you know, we got back at him. It was kind of fun. And Squire made no noise when I was looking for him, what a horrible sense of humor. Dana Prenger  15:44 Golden Retrievers are great dogs. Michael Hingson  15:46 They are. Well, it was fun. I mean, you know, it was all in it was all in good fun, but still not the best thing to do to a guide dog. But that's okay. But the the jocks were, were were, were the major players of the campus. Actually, there's a great story. Every room had a phone in the dorm. And so in one of the women's dorms, one day, one of the women started getting some obscene phone calls from somebody, and she told her boyfriend about it, who was one of the jocks, and they, one day, they they told her, if you get him on the phone, this guy calls back, try to keep him on the phone and get somebody to let us know. And they, when this guy called, One day, she got word to her, her boyfriend, and all of the other jocks. They went through the entire phone book on campus in 10 minutes, dialing every number. Found three numbers that were busy, two of which were clearly not the right ones, because they were offices and all that. And so there was this one, and they all went over, knocked on this guy's door. Can you imagine all these big water polo and football players and all that went over and knocked on his door and they said, Hang up the phone and don't you ever do it again. It was great. I mean, teamwork, what? What teamwork? So, you know, they were all pretty neat guys. I gotta Dana Prenger  17:19 say, Yeah, being part of a team is just so good, and for building your character, like growing up being on basketball team, volleyball team, my basketball team actually made it to state in the year 2019, so you really do form a nice bond with them. And even now, as I'm in a different phase of life, your work, team, workplace, just really important, Michael Hingson  17:47 just really important too. Yeah. Well, if you were to describe your hometown with one word or whatever, how would you describe it? Dana Prenger  17:55 Ooh, that's a good one. I would say tradition, just because we do have so many traditions that bring the community together, or minster school motto is tradition of excellence. So that's what I would use. Michael Hingson  18:09 So that's pretty cool, though. But you had, you've had parents who who honored you, but who also, I'm sure, did a lot to teach you things and and help you grow up in the right way. Dana Prenger  18:26 Yes, yeah, a lot of thanks to both my parents, yeah, Mark and Jody. And then I had two siblings, two brothers, siblings and one sister. So family of six, wow, the second oldest, so I had older brother kind of paving the way me younger sister, and then a younger brother, who's a senior right now, and he's debating on where to go for college, and I think he's also going to be going to BGSU Michael Hingson  18:56 well, and I'll bet Older brother especially made sure that sister was treated well, Yep, yeah, brothers do that, right, what? That was fair. That's okay. Well, so you, you worked pretty hard at it all and, and, and had a lot of fun. So tell me more about your your whole time at college, getting marketing degrees and and what all that was like, and then how you ended up going to work and going to work for somebody close by. That must have been a joy. Dana Prenger  19:34 Yeah. So yeah, I loved marketing. And as I said, VCT, I was considering that, and I could have graduated like I did in three years with just marketing, or I could have stayed longer and did an international business specialization. I love traveling. I've been to 10 plus countries, and yeah, thought about doing a study abroad because that older brother of mine, he did do a study abroad in Strasbourg. Of France, and loved it, but instead, I came across this program called the Ohio export internship program. So basically, it's a program designed for small to mid size companies in the state of Ohio, and the state helps them out by going through the whole interview process for candidate, all the screening, teaching them adequate coursework, and then they'll pay for half of the interns wages for the summer. So in the spring, I did a three credit hour course. Had a group of 20 students in my cohort, and then all different colleges in the state of Ohio participated in this too. But then I could have been matched up with the business anywhere in the state of Ohio for my summer internship, summer of 2023 and I just so happened to get matched up with smart solve and that's how I came to know about them Michael Hingson  20:57 cool well, so having been a three sport person and all that. What do you find today from all of your sports experiences that helps you in your career and and how is that all stuck with you? Dana Prenger  21:15 Yeah, definitely the hard work and the grit and drive being able to focus your energy and really go when you have to go, yeah and yeah, managing your time effectively, like when I was in sports, you still had school, you still had other things you had to do in the evening. So being able to manage your time and get a lot of things done. Michael Hingson  21:42 So you you learned a lot about time management, having to juggle three sports and everything else that you were doing. And so how did all that work when you got to Bowling Green, though, did you? Did you have as many different kinds of activities you weren't doing three sports at Bowling Green, I presume? Yeah, no Dana Prenger  22:01 less sports and more trying to focus the academics and, like I said, what I wanted to do with my life. So, yeah, I spent a lot of time being the ambassador for life design. Still did sports just for enjoyment, fun. I did an intramural volleyball League. Yeah, I was involved in the American Marketing Association. Once I found out my true passion, I really liked marketing. Was involved with that, and I was also involved in through the College of Business Dakota Dean's Advisory Council on diversity and inclusion. Michael Hingson  22:37 What did you think about that? Dana Prenger  22:42 Yeah, it was really good for me to be a part of and opened my eyes to a lot of things, because my small hometown, though I love it, and we have great tradition, we are kind of a little bubble of not a ton of diversity. So being opened up to new, new perspectives and new things that was really beneficial. Michael Hingson  23:06 Well, certainly there were other small colleges around. Why did you specifically choose Bowling Green? Dana Prenger  23:13 Yeah, I think I wanted it was a perfect distance. I still wanted to be close to my family and close to home, but also I wanted to go out and experience on my own. If I chose a school too close to home, I would just be driving home, coming, eating dinner with my parents, and not really fully immersing into my independence. Michael Hingson  23:34 So so it was kind of just the ideal distance, if you will. Dana Prenger  23:42 And being like I said, a bigger college, so there is more opportunities sporting events and games, but they had it at an affordable price too, like going to football games my friends and I love to go watch and cheer on the Falcons, but it wasn't like a big school where we had to pay a lot for the tickets as well. Students got free tickets to all sporting events. So I enjoyed that. Michael Hingson  24:06 Oh, that's cool. How big was the stadium? Dana Prenger  24:10 Pretty big. I don't know the exact size, but yeah, it's right off the highway too. So as you drive on 75 through Ohio, you'll see the stadium in the road Michael Hingson  24:24 well, but you, but you enjoyed it. Do you still do any work or activities at Bowling Green? Dana Prenger  24:32 Yeah, so I'm living in BG right now, as I work at Smart solve, they do have a program called the regional network leaders, which tries to keep alumni engaged. So I joined that, and I'm on a team with seven other individuals just helping keep the alumni connected to the university. How's that working? It's good. It's good. Great to meet. With people, and just gives me something else to do besides work in the evenings. But it's not a huge time commitment. We meet about once a month, Michael Hingson  25:10 but it works out pretty well. Well, so you worked, you worked as a life design ambassador. Do you still do anything with that program today? Dana Prenger  25:24 No, not as much as I would like to. I think they are also in the progress, because I was one of the first people to graduate with having to keep us engaged and involved. I still am connected with a lot of them on LinkedIn, and sometimes one of the life design coaches will message me if a student has questions or wants to just have a quick prototype call or conversation to learn more about marketing or their field. Michael Hingson  25:53 You're you're available to help. Which is cool. It's neat to be able to to be a part of all of that. Yeah. Which is cool. So anyway, you you were part of the export internship program and so on, and that eventually got you connected with smart solve. What attracted you to specifically to smart solve? Why did you decide that that's what you, at least were were willing to explore? Dana Prenger  26:20 Yeah, I really liked smart solve. How strong we are with our core values and vision, mission and purpose statement. Most companies say these are our core values, but they're just words on the wall, and they don't get lived out each and every day. But here at Smart solve, we do something called the daily word of inspiration. So we have about 20 full time employees on our team, and we'll just have a calendar we rotate whose day it is for inspiration, and it's just a brief 15 minute meeting, how we start our day every day. And you can share a personal life story. You can share a Bible verse, any watch a video, motivational video, anything you want to give for your inspiration. And then we start our day with word of prayer, optional. Word of prayer. Michael Hingson  27:13 Well, that's pretty cool, and certainly that's a lot of commitment. I was going to ask, why you feel that the whole idea of smart solving what it's doing generates so many important values, but it's pretty clear why that's the case. Dana Prenger  27:31 Yeah, the core values are character, drive, innovation, joy, humility and growth. All right, it's really cool to hear those lived out, and you can see our team members each embody it smart. Solve is a faith based company, but we don't discriminate or only hire people of the same faith. In fact, not everybody's Christian that works here, but we are open about it because we want people to be comfortable about it, or be knowing that we do have that optional daily prayer every day Michael Hingson  28:07 well, and I think there's value in that. I mean, it's, I think, important to recognize that there are a lot of different religions in the world. And the fact is, if you really study most religions, they all pretty much essentially end up going to the same place, and they all believe in the same basic rules anyway, which is, which is pretty important, which is, which is kind of good. Well, where did the term or the title of the company, smart solves come from? Dana Prenger  28:38 Yeah. So John, he's our current CEO, co founder of smart solve. He smart solve. He calls himself intrapreneur, because smart solve was under CMC group, which is they had a bunch of different businesses. One of their main things was supplying labels, any and all kind of labels. And this is kind of the evolution story of smart salt, water salt. One of the customers was like, our labels are great, but it would be nice if they could just dissolve or wash away, because it was an application in the back of a kitchen. How you have, like, containers, the plastic containers you have to label food days of the week and expiration dates for food safety loss. But when they were putting the containers in the dishwasher, after trying to, like, peel or scrub the labels off, there would still be adhesive, sticky residue on it. Yeah. So, so, yeah, they developed water soluble label. And so, yeah, a label that can dissolve and wash away. So day mark still sells water soluble labels to food rotation business, but John was an intern at that time and was like, I think there's a much bigger. Market for water soluble materials, besides just label for food rotation so he can, they allowed him to take that idea and run with it. So smart solve is specifically water soluble materials. We sell just water soluble paper that dissolves the labels and then also pioneering water soluble, flexible packaging, so power stock applications Michael Hingson  30:27 I remember many years ago, and I still don't know how they knew it, but I got a package in the mail and it had popcorn in it, you know, the shipping stuff, and somebody said, Oh, this is that water soluble popcorn. If you put it in water, it'll it'll melt. And I was going, No. And sure enough, it was, I don't know what visually was the clue that that was water soluble, but it was, Dana Prenger  30:58 yeah, so our company, smart solves vision is to make packaging no longer trash. We realize the increased amount of plastic packaging, or just any packaging unnecessary consumption going on in the world today. So having an avenue or a smart solution of how to solve the problem, Michael Hingson  31:21 well, you can always come up with a new kind of straw that everybody can use, that they if they throw it away, it's not going to fill the world full of plastic. That's another story. Dana Prenger  31:35 Yeah. But in microplastics, to the increasing research and studies how microplastics are impacting human health and the environment. One of the fun facts we like to share is, well, not fun fact, but sad fact that by 2050 they project that plastic in the ocean will outweigh fish in the ocean. Michael Hingson  32:04 I hadn't heard that one, but I'm not surprised which it's so unfortunate. Dana Prenger  32:09 Yeah, great garbage patches of just waste forming out in the ocean. Michael Hingson  32:15 Is there a way, has anybody looked at the fact that, yeah, there's a lot of trash out there and so on, and it's great to come up with trash that won't be trash that will dissolve. But what do you do with all the stuff that's there? Has anybody been working at all on finding ways to dissolve that stuff as well? Dana Prenger  32:35 Yeah, I think that's harder, because it's already all out in the ocean, but there are efforts and people who go out and try to collect it, but then it's like, once we take it out of the ocean, where do we put it, just into massive landfill areas? Well, that's Michael Hingson  32:51 why I was wondering if there is some sort of a chemical process that could be introduced that would dissolve a lot of that material, rather than trying to collect it and take it somewhere, but I realize it's a much more of a significant challenge to do, because you don't want to hurt the fish and you don't want to hurt the ocean. But nobody has come up with a way to just dissolve all that plastic Dana Prenger  33:15 and stuff yet. Yeah, and our material is non toxic to fish, so it's we don't want people to we wouldn't say, just throw it in the ocean, but if it would end up litter becoming there, it would dissolve. Be safer fish. There's multiple end of life avenues for smart solves packaging, which is, yeah, flushable too. So some customers of ours are like toilet bowl cleaner cleaners or feminine care tampon packages that is flushable, so you can just flush the packaging down the toilet Michael Hingson  33:49 right, which, you know, and all of that is very important, but it still seems to me that hopefully somebody someday will figure out a way to dissolve All the stuff that's out in the ocean, yeah? Because I think collecting it is never going to happen as fast as it gets thrown in the ocean in the first place, Dana Prenger  34:09 yeah, especially in different countries around the world where there's not as adequate systems set up for landfills or recycling and waste is just much more incremental. Michael Hingson  34:22 So when you graduated and you started at Smart solves full time, what did you do? Dana Prenger  34:31 Yeah, so, actually, so the Ohio export internship program, I was a full time intern for the summer of 2023, okay, and then I was finishing my final year at school at BGSU, but they offered me to stay working part time. So I did work part time at Smart solve. My senior year of BGSU, I was a sales development rep, so business development, I had to do a lot of cold calling, so you just pick up the phone try to call people. So tell them about smart solve and so, yeah, I did that until I graduated in May, and then they kind of knew that they wanted more marketing support, and I liked marketing better than the sales prospecting. Sales, yeah, so they created a position for me, marketing coordinator, what was Michael Hingson  35:22 it like selling smart solve did you find that there were a lot of people who were very pessimistic or skeptical about what it could do? Or were you able to demonstrate pretty, pretty easily that in reality, sports fans it works? Dana Prenger  35:38 Yeah, I think smart solve products were easier than most things to sell and communicate about because, like we said, it really is a product that is better for people, better for the planet. I said our core values earlier in our vision, but our mission statement is enabling people to better care for the planet by pioneering Zero Waste packaging technologies, so smart solves. Big slogan is zero waste, zero hassle, zero hassle in the consumer. So it's cool to share that with prospects, and they would be more receptive, I feel like, than selling products that people don't necessarily need or want, but still in any industry, no matter how cool the product you have, when you're cold calling people on the phone, you're going to get some of those people that are like, how did you get my number? Or I don't want to talk, or just denies and ends the phone on you. So yeah. Well, that happened a lot of character building, doing that. Michael Hingson  36:38 I experience it oftentimes today, looking for speaking opportunities, even so, same concept, yep, and I've been selling my whole life, so I'm I'm fine when there are objections, when I at least there's a lot of truth to the to the fact when I at least get an objection, at least I can then go off and deal with it, but the people who just shut you down and you don't even get the opportunity to deal with the objection. That's a different story. Dana Prenger  37:06 Yeah, it really does. Michael Hingson  37:07 So was John a chemist? Or how did he develop Dana Prenger  37:11 all of this? Yeah, so John had a team of like, independent contractors that he would work with, and also just some of the knowledge with the water soluble label coming from CMC, but yeah, we have a lot of different team members now, research chemist employees that helped bring this product to life. And one of the cool things is doing a new product launch. So all of our typical water soluble materials we have today you can still buy, but we just now launched a new product called Pure nil zero, which is a completely plastic free, 100% bio based packaging substrate solution Michael Hingson  37:58 is packaging constructed like that, more are less stringent or sturdy than the more traditional kinds of packaging. Or is that something that you've been able to overcome and it's not any less durable? Dana Prenger  38:16 Yeah, it depends. It all depends on what you're trying to package in it. Yeah, it won't be as strong as plastic, but a lot of customers will use it for, like, powdered solutions. So obviously, if you have, like, liquid hand soap, you can't put that in our package, or it will start to break apart. But there's a lot of like, travel and convenience powdered packets that work great in our material. And the thing about pure no which is this new product, it is approved for direct food contact. So our other packaging is more agricultural, personal care, laundry, dish, a lot of those applications, this new product is approved for direct food packaging. So say you would have a powder drink, pack, mix, instant coffee, and eventually we want to get into more snack packaging, but there becomes certain limitations with oxygen and moisture barrier, Michael Hingson  39:12 yeah, well, you know, but that's still, it's it is really fascinating to hear about this, though, because there's, there's so much that that goes into it, it's really kind of fascinating to to see. Do you have customers all over or mainly in Ohio or what? Dana Prenger  39:33 Yeah, we do have customers all over the world. In fact, a lot in the European, European union, union that area, a few customers in the UK, since sustainability, new laws are happening all over. Michael Hingson  39:49 So you recently became the marketing manager. Tell us about that. Yeah. Dana Prenger  39:54 So yeah. I was very, very rapid upward marketing coordinator. For a while, and then just the end of this year, I got the promotion to Marketing Manager, which is great because I yeah, thank you. Get to manage content creators, to have somebody that creates blogs for us, somebody that helps with video support, especially because the water soluble material, it is so cool to see it, dissolve yourself. So yeah, doing a lot of video creation, and then, as I mentioned earlier, we're hiring for a digital content coordinator, a full time in office role. Michael Hingson  40:34 So are other companies doing the same kinds of things that smart solve does? Dana Prenger  40:39 There's a few, not a ton, but there's other bio based solutions. So for example, one company is using seaweed to make packaging, and there's other bio based materials, but not many water soluble packaging. Michael Hingson  40:57 So what makes smart solve unique? Dana Prenger  41:00 Yeah, we are unique for the ability to help you come to market with it. Our materials printable too. So some of the other like plastic PVA based, say laundry packs or dish packs, it's that plastic ours. You can print on it so you can have certain branding or safety warning instructions. Remember the challenge few years back when kids were trying to eat Tide Pods? We say, how different would it be if you could have had a big warning logo or image on the pod itself for them not to consume? Michael Hingson  41:38 Yeah, well, that's of course, the issue is, will they really pay attention to it or not? Dana Prenger  41:45 Yeah, also true, but we do think there's a good branding perspective too. Just to have brand on it, have instructions. We get. Our packaging is a little bit more expensive than just plastic and traditional uses, but we try to show our benefit by being better for the planet, better for the environment, and you do get a lot of good marketing. ROI, some of our customers have said using the materials and videos and being able to make a lot of sustainable claims has helped their company Michael Hingson  42:21 as a whole. So what kind of goals do you basically have as the marketing manager at Smart solve for what you're looking to do over the next few years? Dana Prenger  42:31 Yeah, one of my big grows goals is just growing, growing our followers, growing our reach. I feel like not a lot of people know about smart solve or know about our materials. So we have a LinkedIn page, since we are a B to B business, we also have Facebook and Instagram, but LinkedIn is our primary social that I'm looking to grow. So I think I shared with you smart solves LinkedIn profile, if you want to include that, or if any of the listeners today want to give us a follow, I'd really appreciate it. Michael Hingson  43:03 Well, absolutely that makes sense to do. Dana Prenger  43:07 Well also just increasing website. I help add new pages on our website, increasing our web visitors, new traffic, and creating more leads and sales qualified opportunities for our sales team, Michael Hingson  43:21 so dealing with diversity and and such, what do you do to make sure that your materials are accessible for people who don't necessarily read the print or who aren't going to be able to see pictures on the websites and so on. Do you have you all done a lot with that yet? Dana Prenger  43:42 Yeah, we're getting into improving and open to recommendations and suggestions. A lot of with the package itself, we leave up to the individual brands who sure have the product, because we're just the packaging supplier, not actually the end brand that uses it, but yeah, our website, I we use a site to do that, trying to become more accessible. There's so many ways to learn and do it, so, yeah, Michael Hingson  44:15 well, but it makes sense to do so with all the sports and stuff background that you've had, and we talked about this a little bit already, but what lessons from sports and leadership and all of your experiences have translated most into what you're doing today? Dana Prenger  44:37 Yes, I would say I'll tie it back to drive that one of our core values at Smart solve, and just as an athlete, having to really drive, whether that be your mental state, getting in the right mindset before a game or big competition meet, you. And just putting your effort into your skill to perfect it Michael Hingson  45:06 well, and an important thing to do by any standard. So, you know, a lot of people have jobs, they have worked in various places, they've matured and so on, but a lot of times there's kind of a defining moment that shows them that what they're doing is really what they wanted to do and so on. Do you have a defining moment like that that said this is really it? Dana Prenger  45:37 Yeah, that's a good question. And I think life is a journey, and there's always going to be small moments throughout I haven't had one big knock me off my feet moment that's shaped everything, but more kind of collectively built up small moments, small hurdles, small challenges that's got me where I am Today, any specific challenge that comes to mind, yeah, I would say. I would say, just going through college and yeah, figuring out my path and different setbacks along the way, throughout, trying to figure out my major and things and one of a small, funny setback, but not that big of one. I mentioned it as I was 16 years old, going to get my driver's license from sports. I had an injury and sprained my ankle, so I couldn't walk at the time, but I really wanted to get my driver's license, and it was my left foot, so not my right foot. So I my parents, the car that we had was a minivan with all my siblings, so Driver's Ed test, I'm pull up in this minivan, and I didn't want to let that setback delay me from passing my driver's test, so I had my crutches, crutched out, put my crutch in the back of the car, and then drove, using my right foot to pass my driver's test. Michael Hingson  47:10 And you passed your test, huh? Yes, and you did well on the written part as well, yep. Well, all I have to say is I think you should come out here to Victorville and spend a little bit of time the way people drive out here is crazy. I still submit that they ought to let me have a license, because I am sure that the way I would drive is every bit as good as the way people drive in Victorville right now. Wow, I don't see the problem myself. Dana Prenger  47:40 Yeah, and it's crazy. With innovation, the new things coming up, like nowadays, the autonomous vehicles, I'm curious to see in the next years how that will impact driving. When I am older and have children, when will they have to get their driver's test like that? Or there's some bold suggestions that say in many years to come, you won't have to drive a car. Michael Hingson  48:07 Well, I, in all seriousness, am really of the opinion that it will be great when autonomous vehicles are really as stable and as foolproof as they ought to be, because I think that we really do need to take driving out of the hands of drivers. It's just too many people to do too many crazy things on the road. The reality is that for blind people, and it's not going to be in prime time, certainly in the very near future, but the National Federation of the Blind challenged private universities and companies to develop a car a blind person could drive, and I don't mean an autonomous vehicle, but literally one that would provide the information so that a blind person could drive it just like a sighted person. And if you really look at driving, what is driving and why is it that blind people can't do it well, the answer is, because we don't have a way to get the information in as timely and as functional a way as sighted drivers do with eyesight. And the the people who realize that actually developed a vehicle that a blind person could drive. If you go visit the website of the National Federation of the Blind nfb.org, and search for Blind Driver Challenge, you can actually see a video of a blind man driving a vehicle around the Daytona Speedway right before the 2011 Rolex 24 race. Wow, and he wasn't driving it with people communicating with him through walkie talkies or anything like that, the car was literally transmitting the information to him that allowed him to drive the vehicle, drive through obstacle courses and do a variety of other things, pass a vehicle and so many other things. Because the fact is, today, the technology exists to provide that information to blind people, but it's not ready for prime time, and probably won't be, but autonomous vehicles are coming, and I really am looking forward to the time that they really work and work well, because they're going to make life a whole lot better for everyone. And I'm serious when I say taking the hand, the driving out of the hands of drivers, is pretty important to look at, yeah, so it'll be interesting to see how all that goes. So we've been talking about drive why other why? Else wise, did you really want to use Drive and make that kind of a theme for what we're talking about today? Dana Prenger  50:48 Yeah, I think drive just reflects the path that people have for life. And drive you always want to keep going being a goal oriented, focused person. There's a lot of things, and other people do experience many setbacks. And what I've learned from your story as well. When trouble would come your way, you didn't just stop. You kept moving, kept driving in a direction. Sometimes you might not always get from point A to point B. You might have to do a little bit of a detour in the journey of the drive, but yeah, that's kind of why I thought drive would be a good conversation topic word for today's podcast. Michael Hingson  51:29 But the reality is that that you can succeed. I tell people all the time that I reject the concept of the term fail, because if you fail, that's kind of an end all. You just, you just screwed up. Well, you didn't screw up. The issue isn't failure. The issue is what do you learn from it? And the issue is how you you move forward. And so I've learned that in reality, when things don't go right, I'm my own best teacher. I'm the one that has to take that information and internalize it and figure out how to move forward, people can suggest people can help. And I think that's important. But for me, personally, and for every individual on the planet, ultimately, we have to internalize it and make it succeed, which is, I think, so very important. Dana Prenger  52:19 Yeah, connecting some of those points is what we would talk about in life design too, because students would come and if they wouldn't pass a certain class or wouldn't do a certain thing, they would see it as a failure. And it's reframing failure and redefining it that, yeah, it's not, in fact, a failure, but a learning opportunity and experience Michael Hingson  52:41 it is. It's a growth opportunity by any standard, and that is something that we all really need to work on, because failure just isn't isn't fair and it isn't right, and we've got to get away from thinking that it is, Dana Prenger  52:56 and even reframing your experiences or statements you choose to say and think and believe about yourself like I could. I'm, as I said, one of a younger professional. Sometimes it can be intimidating or room full of people that know more than you. I could be down on myself. And look at it and say, Oh, I'm the youngest here. I am most inexperienced. I don't have as much skills or sets, or I could reframe it and think of it in a positive light and say, I am young, I do. I offer a new mindset. I bring new skills, new things that aren't already established. So kind of having that confidence and positive outlook to be able to reframe Michael Hingson  53:42 the other part of that. The other part of that, though, is that, yeah, you're young and all of that. But clearly some people have thought that you have a lot to contribute, and you're already doing that. And so obviously life is, is a is a place where we can learn, and we do need to continue to learn, but, but the reality is that we can always find learning as an end, as an adventure, and something that we need to do. And I think that that's exactly what we should we should be doing regularly, because it's always all about learning, yep, which really makes a lot of sense. So for you, what's next? For you? Do you have any notion? Dana Prenger  54:32 Yeah, I think I'm excited to continue developing this role, this new marketing manager role at Smart solve. I do like to travel. As I said, I've been to a lot of different countries, so wanting to further learn more about the world, new people, new places. Yeah, I want to have a family. I have a boyfriend that we're getting kind of serious. So looking for. To that next phase of my life and how well of a role model my mom was for me, I do want to be a mom as well someday. Cool. What countries have you been to? Yeah, I've been to Mexico, been to Portugal, been to Spain, one of the recent family trips. We just got back from Costa Rica. It was gorgeous there. We left right after Christmas and got back January 7 of this year. So that's why I'm still a little tan from the trip for you. But yeah, it was a good mix of adventure, zip lining, rock climbing, hiking, and then also just getting to relax and be in warm weather by a beach. Michael Hingson  55:46 What are what other countries, Dana Prenger  55:49 other countries that I've been to, went to Punta Cana, that was a very nice one, that Dominican Republic as the country, yeah. Michael Hingson  56:02 Cool. So the whole family went, Dana Prenger  56:07 yeah, all six of us. Wow. It works out nice because I have one sister and two brothers, and then my mom and dad. So it's kind of perfect, three and three, three girls, three boys. Michael Hingson  56:18 Yeah, that's, that's pretty cool. I'm glad that you you get a chance to have some of those experiences. What have you learned by going to other countries? Dana Prenger  56:29 Yeah, I've learned a lot just the way of life, the way they do things. Speaking of since we just got back from Costa Rica, one of the sayings they say all the time is Pura Vida, just pure life and kind of a more, not as upbeat, fast, hard paced environment as the US more free, yeah. But also it depends on the trip too. I've done some local mission trips. I wanted to do an international mission trip. I had it scheduled, but then that's when covid happened, so I had to cancel that. So bucket list coming up soon, I'm going to do a international mission trip. But it is different when you're traveling for just enjoyment vacation versus other purposes. Michael Hingson  57:19 You find that a lot of places where you visited, don't tend to take, and I don't mean this in a negative way at all, but don't take life as seriously as we tend to try to do here. Yeah, yeah. And it's, and it makes a lot of sense to lighten up a little bit, and then ought to do more of that. Well, if people want to reach out to you, how do they do that? Dana Prenger  57:42 Yeah, they can message me on LinkedIn if they have a LinkedIn profile, or they can go to smart solve website, contact us through there. What's your LinkedIn name to me? Yeah, Dana, just my name. You can search it. Dana pranger. Dana, D, a n, a pranger, P R, E N, G, E R, Michael Hingson  58:04 okay, well, I hope people will do that.

Rizz and Tim investigate one of history's strangest outbreaks — a moment when hundreds of people danced uncontrollably for weeks, collapsed from exhaustion, and in some cases died, all without music. Known as the Dancing Plague of 1518, this bizarre story unfolded in a Europe already strained by war, famine, disease, and religious upheaval. As dancers filled the streets of Strasbourg, authorities scrambled for explanations, blaming everything from divine punishment to demonic possession to bad medicine.
