Author Marty Neumeier discusses his new thriller, Octavo. This didactic novel delves into the nature of creativity while spinning a thrilling tale through two storylines. One is set during the Renaissance and follows the last pupil of Leonardo DaVinci who writes an adventurous account of the lengths he and DaVinci go through to get DaVinci's notebooks published. There is a mystery surrounding why and how the notebooks fail to be published, and Marty's tale shows DaVinci in the role of detective, trying to solve the mystery. The second storyline is set in modern times and features two art authenticators discover the manuscript. Determined not to let the manuscript meet the same fate as Davinci's notebooks, they hatch a plan to steal it, which leads to even more adventure.

Diese Woche wird es besinnlich und wir drehen den Blick einmal um: Statt zu fragen, wie KI unser Leben beschleunigt, fragen wir: Wie bringt sie uns vielleicht zurück zu Körper, Natur, Handwerk, Gemeinschaft? Wir sprechen darüber, warum sich überall auf der Welt kleine (Gegen-)Bewegungen bilden: Running Clubs, Keramikstudios, Sauna-Rituale, Brettspiel Bars, Tiny Houses, Neighborhood-Gardening, Männerkreise und Micro-Communities. Und warum diese Trends genau jetzt so stark wachsen. Denn je digitaler unser Alltag wird, desto größer wird die Sehnsucht nach Nähe, Handarbeit, Natur, Spiel und Gemeinschaft. Wir gehen acht große Gegentrends durch: von haptischer Renaissance und Social Play bis zu Regeneration, analoger Kreativität, Micro-Communities und Skill-Mastery. Und wir erzählen, was diese Bewegungen mit Mental Health, Verbundenheit und Lebensfreude zu tun haben. Wir sprechen darüber: 1️⃣ Warum unser Körper sich meldet, wenn alles digital wird und warum Padel, HYROX & Running Clubs explodieren. 2️⃣ Warum Spielen für alle Generationen zurückkommt, durch Lego D&D, Tabletop & Brettspiel-Cafés. 3️⃣ Warum Wärme, Kälte & Ruhe zu neuen Mental-Health-Tools werden. 4️⃣ Warum Keramik, Journaling & analoge Fotografie so heilsam sind. 5️⃣ Warum Third Spaces (Cafés, Co-Living, Kulturspaces) wieder gebraucht werden. 6️⃣ Warum Natur & Outdoor echte Prioritäten setzen. 7️⃣ Warum kleine Communities besser tragen als große Feeds. 8️⃣ Warum Skills wieder Identität schaffen. Zum Abschluss empfehlen wir eine kleine Übung, die wir selbst immer gegen Ende des Jahres durchführen, unsere Lieblings-Bucketlist-Reflexion: - Was möchte ich noch erleben? - Was möchte ich noch lernen? - Woran möchte ich arbeiten? - Und was möchte ich zurückgeben? … und weil wir immer wieder mal gefragt werden, warum wir das machen, hier unser Antwort: Weil dieser Podcast uns verbindet. Weil er uns beide weicher, klüger und hoffnungsvoller macht. Und weil wir spüren, dass viele von euch genau diese Gespräche ebenfalls brauchen. Wenn euch die Folge gefällt, freuen wir uns über ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ und eure Gedanken, Wünsche oder Gastideen. Danke fürs Zuhören und bis zur nächsten Folge. #Leadership #GenZ #Führung #Stärkenorientierung #Feedbackkultur #ReverseMentoring #NewWork #KI #ZoomerMeetsBoomer

In this week’s episode we talk with Michael de  Bethencourt about his Snub Noir group and how they started For listeners of this podcast I want to give you an advance heads up on a new product from MantisX called the Tor-X available the first week of August 2024. The TOR-X is the sublime marriage of the military-grade Steiner laser and the power of the MantisX. The MantisX hardware is now integrated inside a Steiner laser. Pair it via Bluetooth to your smartphone or tablet, and you’re training package just got more complete. Combat-worthy lights and lasers, Mil-grade aluminum, built Steiner strong. Designed to expose, blind and target with maximum impact. Up to any challenge. Just like you. The TOR-X features a Type III hard-anodized machined-aluminum housing and rail mount. It is dustproof, splash-proof to IP54 standards, and available with a green (520 nm) laser. The direct diode type laser operates in extreme cold weather. Other features include left and right fire buttons for ambidextrous use, constant power drive that ensures the laser output remains constant throughout the life of the battery, low battery indication, as well as windage and elevation bore sight adjustment screws. The universal rail mount on the TOR-X will fit all pistols that have a Picatinny or Weaver style rail forward of the trigger guard. This design allows optimum positioning of the laser so that the fire buttons are easily accessible for a wide range of users. I’ve been using the Tor-X for several weeks on my Glock17 and my Glock48 now and when paired with the MantisX app it’s taken my training to a new level.

Something's been quietly building in the background for years now.And now it's undeniable.We're entering a new era of thought leadership.One where integrity, generosity, and presence replace the outdated bro-marketing, hustle-at-all-costs mentality.I believe 2026 will be the year of feminine leadership.Not in a gendered sense… but in energy, presence, and embodied leadership.

Modern life can make it tempting to return to simpler times, like a 16th-century Spanish convent. In the new book Convent Wisdom, academics Ana Garriga and Carmen Urbita look to the writings of Renaissance-era nuns for insights to apply to modern dilemmas. In today's episode, the co-authors speak with NPR's Ayesha Rascoe about the backstory behind the project and what makes these nuns of the past relevant today.To listen to Book of the Day sponsor-free and support NPR's book coverage, sign up for Book of the Day+ at plus.npr.org/bookofthedayLearn more about sponsor message choices: podcastchoices.com/adchoicesNPR Privacy Policy

The last few years have seen a resurgence of interest in academic research in Marxism and related fields, and many researchers have been stepping up to the plate to offer rigorous analysis and critical reanimations of Marxist theory. One particularly exciting place where this is included is the Palgrave series Marx, Engels and Marxisms, which has been steadily putting new titles out for close to a decade. Including original monographs, edited collections and translated texts, the series covers a wide variety of topics for those interested in rediscovering and developing a Marxism ready to face the 21st century. This conversation with one of the editors is intended to serve as an overview of the series, with more traditional episodes to follow in the near future. Learn more about your ad choices.

Zum dritten Mal Witwe, will Margarete mehr sein als taktisches Heiratsmaterial. Sie stirbt am 1.12.1530 als erfolgreiche Politikerin und Architektin eines historischen Friedens. Von Maren Gottschalk.

What do swamp volleyball, software debugging, and self-doubt have in common? A lot more than you'd think. In this episode, Anne sits down with Kari Sipinen (https://www.linkedin.com/in/kari-sipinen), a Finnish-born engineer, world-champion swamp volleyball player, and all-around discomfort-zone explorer, who has turned mud, mistakes, and mindfulness into a philosophy for life.Kari shares how wading waist-deep in the muck during the World Championship of Swamp Volleyball taught him about teamwork, humility, and the magic of taking action even when you can't see solid ground. (Spoiler: sometimes the best life lessons happen when you're stuck in the mud—literally.)Drawing from his work as an embedded software engineer, Kari compares debugging to personal growth—each problem is like peeling an onion, revealing new layers of understanding beneath the surface. He unpacks his love of intuition—which he describes as being “in learning”—and how listening to your inner data can lead to surprising breakthroughs.In This EpisodeThe connection between engineering, intuition, and personal growthWhy curiosity matters more than confidenceWhy he call it “imposter phenomenon” (not syndrome)How turning on your metaphorical flashlight helps you illuminate the next step toward your dreams.Beyond engineering, Kari is a champion on and off the court, winning the Swamp Volleyball World Championship in 2019 and sharing his love of music through a 62+ hour Spotify playlist. An ordinary Savonian with a Renaissance spirit, he is committed to legacy, openness, and intellectual humility.Please join me in welcoming to the stage — Kari Sipinen!

Volume III of this History of the Papacy opens with the Council of Basel in revolt against Pope Eugenius IV, who doggedly defends papal autonomy against the movement for church reform. Dominating this volume is Aeneus Sylvius Piccolomini, Pope Pius II. A world famous author, diplomat, and Renaissance humanist, he dies in Ancona, at the head of a failed crusade. Creighton writes of him, "Weakness and strength are strangely blended; vanity and littleness mix with high purpose and far-reaching plans; but before the eyes of Pius II there floated fitfully a loftier ideal of Christendom than was visible to any of his contemporaries, and juster views than he was enabled to express in action."Advertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy

The last few years have seen a resurgence of interest in academic research in Marxism and related fields, and many researchers have been stepping up to the plate to offer rigorous analysis and critical reanimations of Marxist theory. One particularly exciting place where this is included is the Palgrave series Marx, Engels and Marxisms, which has been steadily putting new titles out for close to a decade. Including original monographs, edited collections and translated texts, the series covers a wide variety of topics for those interested in rediscovering and developing a Marxism ready to face the 21st century. This conversation with one of the editors is intended to serve as an overview of the series, with more traditional episodes to follow in the near future. Learn more about your ad choices.

As Paris wrestles with political deadlock, questions are mounting over France's ability to project strength abroad. RFI spoke to author and political strategist Gerald Olivier about the ongoing political crisis in France and its repercussions abroad. France is once again mired in political turmoil after the National Assembly last week overwhelmingly rejected the revenue side of the 2026 budget. Prime Minister Sébastien Lecornu is trying a new method: rather than attempting to push a full budget through a fractured parliament, he aims to break spending into "absolute priorities" – security, energy, agriculture and state reform – and put each item to MPs separately. The move is intended to avoid another budget showdown, after two years of governmental instability that have steadily chipped away at President Emmanuel Macron's authority. Critics, however, argue that the plan is merely a repackaged version of political improvisation – a delay tactic that risks further weakening France's credibility at home and on the world stage. Jean-François Husson, the Senate's general rapporteur for the budget, delivered one of the sharpest criticisms of Lecornu's move, describing it as a chaotic and ill-timed intervention. "If you want to give the French a dizzying ride, you could hardly do it better than this," he remarked, arguing that the government's approach was generating more confusion than clarity. For author and political strategist Gerald Olivier, there is a deeper problem. "France is sick, and France has been sick for a while," he says. "We're basically looking at a country with no government, no parliamentary majority and a total impossibility for any prime minister to put forward a credible programme." French lawmakers roundly reject income part of budget bill, send it to Senate France technically needs to pass its budget by 31 December, but Olivier is quick to point out that this deadline has been missed before. "Last year, the budget wasn't passed until February," he notes. If the same thing happens this time, the government can fall back on a temporary financial law that keeps spending aligned with the previous year's budget for up to 70 days. A more drastic option – to rule by decree – exists as a constitutional backstop. "This crisis exists because there is no majority in parliament," Olivier says. "And it's also because no party has had the courage to face the kind of medicine that France needs. That's the larger issue." International credibility As a major European power, France's domestic politics do not stay domestic for long. International investors and European Union partners are watching closely, especially after recent warnings from credit-rating agencies about France's deficit trajectory. According to Olivier, the damage is already evident. "France is already in a recession, and there are investments simply passing the country by," he argues. "No one knows what its tax status will be in the coming years." That uncertainty could have a ripple effect across the continent. France, he warns, risks becoming "economically weak and therefore politically weak within Europe", potentially deepening divisions between EU member states. France's economy minister warns latest credit downgrade a 'wake-up call' "The one reassuring piece of news is that France is not the only one in this situation. Germany is in dire shape, Italy is shaky, Sweden is having problems. It seems today that everyone in Europe is the sick man of Europe," he added. Periods of political instability often attract external opportunists – whether governments, speculators or hostile influence campaigns. But Olivier remains cautious when asked whether foreign actors are already exploiting France's woes. "I don't necessarily see it," he says, "but if you want to consider fictional scenarios, you could find many." France's EU membership, he argues, offers a buffer. "Having the EU behind you is reassuring. The idea of ‘Frexit' would be disastrous. The euro provides protection." Still, the consequences of weakened governance can extend beyond the economy. A fragile budget could force France to scale back overseas military deployments – a shift that could alter power dynamics in parts of Africa and the Middle East. "This kind of instability is not healthy for anyone," Olivier says. A president without momentum Macron's political capital has been in decline since the 2022 legislative elections, when he lost his absolute majority. The surprise dissolution of the Assembly after the 2024 European elections only worsened matters, splitting the parliament into three mutually hostile blocs. "It's done tremendous damage to Macron," Olivier says. "He was re-elected in 2022 because people didn't want Marine Le Pen. He didn't have the support he had in 2017, and disappointment set in." He argues that Macron himself triggered the crisis. "He dissolved the Assembly for no reason. The European elections had no influence on French politics, but he reacted as if they did – and he made things worse." Could the president break the deadlock? In theory, yes. "Macron could solve it instantly by resigning," Olivier notes. "That would trigger a new presidential election, followed by fresh parliamentary elections. That's how institutions are supposed to function." But he sees no sign that Macron intends to take that step. For now, he predicts "another 18 months of instability" with the possibility of yet another government reshuffle. "We've had four governments in 12 months. We could have a fifth one next year. There is no telling." France's Le Pen asks Bardella to prepare for 2027 presidential bid Eyes on 2027 With Macron unable to stand again, attention is already turning to the 2027 presidential race. The National Rally – headed by Marine Le Pen and her rising protégé Jordan Bardella – enters the campaign in a strong position. Republican Bruno Retailleau could emerge from the right, France Unbowed's Jean-Luc Mélenchon or Socialist Olivier Faure from the left. Names from the centre such as MEP Raphaël Glucksmann and the former prime minister from Macron's Renaissance party, Manuel Valls, have been floated too. Olivier's concern is not who the candidates are but how honest they will be about the situation. "No one is willing to say the country needs to make sacrifices," he warns. "France is in debt up to 115 percent of GDP. Public spending is too high. But nobody wants to tell voters that the social state cannot remain as generous as it is." He singles out one controversial, far-right figure: "The only person honest about the economic reality is Éric Zemmour – and there is zero chance he will be the next president."

Host Natalie Grueninger welcomes Dr Alanna Skuse to Talking Tudors to explore medicine in Renaissance England. They discuss humoral theory, the medical hierarchy of physicians, surgeons, apothecaries and midwives, and the lively marketplace of practitioners including itinerant bone-setters and domestic healers. The episode highlights women's roles in care, real patient cases, early regulation of medical practice, and Alanna's book 'The Surgeon, The Midwife, The Quack' — practical insights into how people sought treatment and survived in the Renaissance.

Taylor McCall's The Art of Anatomy in Medieval Europe (Reaktion, 2023) is the first history of medieval European anatomical images. Richly illustrated, The Art of Anatomy in Medieval Europe explores the many ways in which medieval surgeons, doctors, monks, and artists understood and depicted human anatomy. Taylor McCall refutes the common misconception that Renaissance artists and anatomists such as Leonardo da Vinci and Andreas Vesalius were the fathers of anatomy who performed the first human dissections. On the contrary, she argues that these Renaissance figures drew upon centuries of visual and written tradition in their works.

He then moved into sword and buckler, inspired by Roland Warzecha's work (you can hear from Roland here) and Fiore's Art of Arms, before being seduced by Manciolino and Marozzo. In 2017 he co-founded Schildwache Potsdam as a collaboration between the Berliner Rittergilde and the University of Potsdam's Academic Sports Centre. In 2020 and 2021 he was on the DDHF national longsword first squad. And since 2022 he was on the Rapier national squad, where he is now head coach. He runs the Schildwache Potsdam YouTube channel, and is one of the organizers of one of my favourite events, Swords of the Renaissance. He is a research associate at the Brandenburg University of Technology Cottbus-Senftenberg and has a PhD in economics and social sciences. Economics is very relevant to this episode, because Martin and I discuss how Game Theory relates to fencing. What is it rational to do when sparring and what do people actually do? What is the most rational way to react to an opponent who hits you increasingly hard or fast? Should you match them, or walk away? We also talk about rule sets in tournaments, and Martin's thoughts on how to devise them to stop people gaming the rules, and make the fencing cleaner and scoring fairer.   Links of interest: Schildwache Potsdam (Martin's club) and info on Swords of the Renaissance event: https://schildwache-potsdam.de/ The Schildwache Potsdam Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/cw/SchildwachePotsdam Schildwache Potsdam YouTube channel: https://www.youtube.com/schildwache-potsdam  

On connaît tous K-Maro.On connaît tous le refrain de "Femme Like U".Mais on connaît très mal l'homme derrière la star des années 2000 : Cyril Kamar.En préparant l'épisode, je pensais enregistrer une conversation sur la musique, la carrière, les choix.J'ai découvert quelqu'un de beaucoup plus complexe : un enfant qui a grandi dans la guerre au Liban, un ado exilé au Canada, un artiste qui a couru trop vite, un homme qui s'est effondré sans rien dire, et un père qui essaie aujourd'hui de transmettre autrement.Dans cet épisode, il nous raconte tout :Ce que la musique lui a sauvé,Les coulisses de ses tubes iconiques, Ce que la célébrité fait au corps, à l'ego, et à une vie quand tout retombe.Il nous parle des excès, des succès, des déceptions, de sa collaboration avec @Shy'm, de la vraie raison de sa disparition, et de ce qui le ramène aujourd'hui à la musique.Une discussion honnête, sensible, loin de l'image qu'on croit connaître.Hébergé par Ausha.

Ancient Greece was rich compared to other ancient societies, and Athens was the richest place of all within ancient Greece. But why?

What is it like to grow up the son of the emperor? For most of the rulers of the Holy Roman Empire we have covered so far, no idea. There are scarce reports about the way the princes grew up, safe for tales like the emperor Ludwig the Bavarian being kidnapped by his pet monkey. But now, as the Late Middle Ages make way for the Renaissance, we can see the boy who would be king at play, being fed by his nursemaid and pretending to be a knight at a tournament.And even better, this emperor is Maximilian, the last Knight, one of the most iconic rulers of his time. Come along as we descend into the delights and terrors of his epic childhood, complete with mythmaking in drawings and woodcuts.The music for the show is Flute Sonata in E-flat major, H.545 by Carl Phillip Emmanuel Bach (or some claim it as BWV 1031 Johann Sebastian Bach) performed and arranged by Michel Rondeau under Common Creative Licence 3.0.As always:Homepage with maps, photos, transcripts and blog: www.historyofthegermans.comIf you wish to support the show go to: Support • History of the Germans PodcastFacebook: @HOTGPod Threads: @history_of_the_germans_podcastBluesky: @hotgpod.bsky.socialInstagram: history_of_the_germansTwitter: @germanshistoryTo make it easier for you to share the podcast, I have created separate playlists for some of the seasons that are set up as individual podcasts. they have the exact same episodes as in the History of the Germans, but they may be a helpful device for those who want to concentrate on only one season.
