When artist Jesse Mockrin looks at Renaissance paintings, she can't help but see the gender-based violence in them. Her new exhibit, Echo, at the Art Gallery of Ontario, reimagines these works from a feminist perspective — shifting focus to the women whose stories have long been overlooked or erased in historical art. Jesse joins guest host Garvia Bailey to discuss the inspirations behind her work, why she often crops her paintings, and her fascination with hands.

During a recent episode of The Valley Today, host Janet Michael sits down with Jill Edlich and Kary Haun for Tourism Tuesday — Shenandoah County Edition — to talk about an exciting new chapter unfolding at North Mountain Vineyard and Winery. What begins as a conversation about events and community quickly reveals something much bigger: a Renaissance fair founder has just stepped into life as a vineyard owner. As part of the ongoing Tourism Tuesday series highlighting destinations and experiences in Shenandoah County, the conversation explores how Jill's purchase of North Mountain is reshaping both the winery and the future home of the Ravenwood Faire. As listeners quickly learn, this isn't just a business transaction. It's a story about legacy, land, and local connection. The Perfect Match When Krista, the former owner of North Mountain Vineyard and Winery, decided to sell her beloved property, she wasn't just looking for any buyer. She wanted someone who would cherish the land and preserve its legacy. After waiting patiently for the right person, she found exactly what she was looking for in Jill Edlich—though the match came with an unexpected twist. Jill didn't set out to become a winemaker. Instead, she was searching for a permanent home for the Ravenwood Faire, the Renaissance-style festival she founded in 2019. For years, she had been hosting the fundraising event at the Frederick County Fairgrounds in Clear Brook, but the logistics were exhausting. Setting up and breaking down the event took nearly a week each time, and Jill dreamed of finding land where the fair could put down roots. From Fairgrounds to Vineyards When Jill discovered the 47-acre North Mountain property—with 15 acres planted in grapevines—she realized she'd found more than just a home for her event. She'd stumbled into an entirely new venture. "It's like those TV shows where someone says, 'Honey, I bought a zoo,'" Janet jokes. "And those people are like, 'I've never run a zoo before, but hey, we're gonna give this a shot.'" Jill laughs in agreement. Suddenly, she wasn't just an event organizer—she was a farmer and a vintner. "A lot of people say, 'So how does it feel to be a farmer now?'" Jill reflects. "And I'm like, wow. Yeah. I'm a farmer besides owning the winery." A Wine Lover's Journey Fortunately, Jill's leap into the wine business wasn't entirely blind. Years earlier, she founded the Wine Club for Women, organizing tastings and educational events throughout Frederick County, Winchester, and even Shenandoah County. She loved learning about wine pairings and vineyard operations, but eventually, the demands of the Ravenwood Faire consumed her time. Still, she never abandoned her dream of returning to the wine world someday. "It's kind of like a full circle," Jill explains. "Everything happens for a reason. That's always been one of my things for sure." Preserving Tradition One of Jill's biggest concerns when taking over the winery was maintaining the quality and character that loyal customers had come to expect. Thankfully, she inherited an invaluable asset: the winemaking team. Krista's son, John Jackson, stayed on as head winemaker, along with assistant winemaker Andrew Bender. Together, they're Jill's "wine-making gurus," patiently teaching her the craft while ensuring beloved wines like Toms Brook Red remain unchanged. "Rest assured, we've got Toms Brook Red and that's definitely not going anywhere," Jill promises. Beyond preserving existing wines, she's also excited to experiment with new blends and explore whether certain grapes can stand on their own rather than being blended. A Diverse Portfolio Currently, North Mountain offers an impressive selection. The white wines include Riesling, Oktoberfest, a standout Virginia Apple wine, Gruner Veltliner, Chardonnay, and Gewürztraminer Rosé. Meanwhile, the red lineup features Zweigel Red, Cabernet Franc (Jill's personal favorite), Petite Verdot, Chambourcin Foster's Reserve, Mountain Midnight (a port-style wine), the famous Toms Brook Red, a spiced holiday wine that can be served cold or warmed, and Clairet—a Bordeaux-style blend that's grandfathered in under a now-restricted name. Renovations and Accessibility Since closing on the property on October 31, 2025, Jill has wasted no time making improvements. She opened for business the very next day and immediately began renovations to make the winery more welcoming. The tasting room has been transformed into a clean, inviting space where large groups or dozens of small parties can gather comfortably. Most importantly, Jill prioritizes accessibility. She's adding a ramp to eliminate steps at the entrance, designating handicap parking spots, and extending the parking lot. Additionally, she's constructing a road, making it easier for visitors to access events—especially the Ravenwood Faire—without overwhelming the neighborhood. The Ravenwood Connection While the winery and the Ravenwood Faire are separate entities, they now share the same home. The Ravenwood Foundation will rent space on the property to host the fundraising event, happening in October: the 16th through 18th and the 23rd through 25th. The fair has grown significantly since its inception, particularly in its offerings for children. Last year, the kids' area was constantly packed, which thrills Jill and her team. "Every time I looked over in that area, it was just a constant," she recalls. "It made us feel really good." Beyond the fair, the foundation runs a week-long day camp for children ages 12 to 17, teaching outdoor skills like archery, bread making, and cooking over open fires. Last year's inaugural camp served 16 kids—a number that initially seemed small but proved perfect for working out the kinks. Moving forward, Jill hopes to eventually bring the camp to the vineyard property and possibly expand to overnight sessions, though logistical challenges like insurance and sleeping arrangements remain. Building Community Jill's vision extends beyond wine and fairs. She's actively partnering with local farms and artisans to host events like homesteading workshops, sourdough-making classes, canning demonstrations, and floral arrangement sessions. Every Saturday features live music, and the winery has already hosted trivia nights, bridal showers, and even a 35-person wedding in the great room. "It's really important for us to be working with our local community," Jill emphasizes. "Meeting other farmers now has been amazing." She's also been warmly welcomed by the Shenandoah Valley Wine Trail, a tight-knit group of winemakers who meet every other month at different vineyards. "I walked in there and everybody had open arms," Jill says. "It was an amazing feeling. I'm feeling the love for sure." Looking Ahead As spring approaches, Jill plans to extend the winery's hours beyond the current Wednesday through Sunday, 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. schedule. She's also reviving Oktoberfest—a tradition Krista maintained even in her final years—and giving it "a little more love." Perhaps most excitingly, Jill is exploring expanding wine production and potentially enlarging the cellar. With stunning sunset views, ample outdoor space, and a growing calendar of events, North Mountain Vineyard and Winery is poised to become a cornerstone of Shenandoah County's tourism scene. For Jill, the journey from Renaissance fair organizer to winery owner has been unexpected but deeply fulfilling. "I know how to drink wine," she jokes. "But to make it, that was a whole different ball of wax." Three months in, she's learning something new every day—and loving every minute of it. North Mountain Vineyard and Winery is located in Shenandoah County at 4374 Swartz Road, Maurertown. For more information, visit northmountainvineyard.com or follow them on Facebook and Instagram.

In this full-cut interview from our Visio Divina Lenten series, Magrey deVega sits down with Dr. Rose Trentinella from the University of Tampa to explore two extraordinary works of Renaissance art: Michelangelo's Sistine Chapel ceiling and Ghiberti's “Gates of Paradise.” From Michelangelo's reluctant frustration at being forced to paint instead of sculpt, to the astonishing technical precision of fresco on a curved vault seventy feet overhead, this conversation uncovers the human struggle behind legendary genius. Then, turning to Florence's gilded bronze baptistry doors, they examine the innovation, symbolism, and hidden details—down to tiny lizards no one on the ground would ever see—that reveal the mind of an artist working at the height of his craft. It's a deeper look at calling, creativity, and the tension between assignment and passion.Special thanks to Dr. Trentinella, the Ferman family, and the University of Tampa. Find out more and watch the full sermon at HydeParkUMC.org/NextSteps

Is Singapore witnessing a durable capital markets revival - or the final act of a liquidity-driven surge? In this episode, hosted by Michelle Martin, we examine whether the STI’s charge past 5,000 marks a structural re-rating of Singapore equities or a cyclical rebound fuelled by policy tailwinds. With Jason Saw, Group Head of Investment Banking at CGS International, we unpack Budget 2026’s S$1.5 billion EQDP top-up and the new Anchor Fund - and what they mean for price discovery and pre-IPO pipelines. We explore how improving breadth - with more small- and mid-cap counters trading above S$1 million daily - signals deeper liquidity and broader participation. The conversation turns to sector leadership: banks, offshore oil & gas, construction, AI-linked plays, and real estate - where fundamentals and sentiment intersect. We assess whether rising IPO activity and corporate actions point to sustainable issuer confidence across primary and secondary markets. Finally, we ask how investors can “read” momentum cycles to gauge when expansion gives way to consolidation.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Dans cet épisode d'Esprits Libres, le philosophe Luc Ferry revient sur la proposition de loi visant à considérer comme une apologie du terrorisme l'appel à la destruction d'un État et sur l'engagement politique des artistes.Luc Ferry commence par analyser en détail cette proposition de loi, soulignant qu'elle semble viser principalement la critique de la politique israélienne. Il met en garde contre les dérives potentielles d'une telle loi, qui pourrait remettre en cause des pans entiers de la pensée philosophique et littéraire de gauche, de Marx à Bakounine en passant par les anarchistes. Le débat s'oriente ensuite vers la question de l'engagement politique des artistes. Wim Wenders, président du jury du festival de Berlin, a récemment suscité la polémique en déclarant que le cinéma devrait rester en dehors de la politique. Luc Ferry revient sur cette controverse, estimant que les artistes qui dénoncent un prétendu "génocide" à Gaza font fausse route. Selon lui, il faut parler de crimes de guerre, mais en aucun cas de génocide.L'invité explore alors l'histoire de l'engagement politique des artistes, remontant jusqu'à la Renaissance et la théorie du génie artistique qui émerge au XVIIIe siècle. Il souligne que cette dimension révolutionnaire de l'art peut s'exprimer aussi bien à gauche qu'à droite, à travers des innovations libérales ou socialistes.Hébergé par Audiomeans.

Host Nichel Anderson returns with journey update on her groundbreaking episode dedicated to her MOLIAE PMTR (Pyramid Mystery Temple Reunion) NFTS Collection, a cornerstone of the MOLIAE Manifesto and the upcoming relaunch on February 23 at Mint.MOLIAEWorld.com. This episode serves as a complete guide to understanding the PMTR universe — its history, symbolism, and purpose as a creative funding initiative for Nichel's cinematic vision to bring “Mitsrayim: A Memoir of a Past Life In Ancient Egypt” to film. Nichel explores the prophetic connection between Dr. W.E.B. Du Bois's essay “Of the Wings of Atlanta” and her PMTR NFTs, drawing parallels between his Talented Tenth philosophy and the modern DTC (Direct‑to‑Consumer) movement. She reveals the mystery of the HUJTA swords, the nine encoded symbols on each NFT, and the hidden golden nugget within the 10K collection that represents both spiritual and tangible value for holders. Listeners gain insight into the numerology and astrology that shape the PMTR design, the forthcoming 3D “Legends of Lions” collection, and the MOLIAE Token that will expand the ecosystem's equity and utility. Nichel also walks through the minting process — how to connect your blockchain wallet (MetaMask recommended), mint your NFT, download the Decode Book PDF, and join the MOLIAE Discord or MOLIAE.com/forum for decoding assistance and community engagement. The episode concludes with exciting announcements about new music, the PMTR short stories, and the MOLIAE World game initiative, all reinforcing the living nature of the PMTR NFTs. Each NFT is more than art — it's a coded story, a digital relic, and a key to the unfolding MOLIAE World.

Historian Alanna O'Malley explores how Global South actors have shaped the United Nations, arguing we should view today's challenges as an opportunity for a UN 'renaissance' rather than a collapse. She highlights invisible histories, multi-alignment strategies, regional and minilateral developments, and the need for Charter reform, greater legitimacy, accountability and public engagement to renew multilateralism. Professor O'Malley reflects from a historical point of view on the upcoming process of selection and appointment of the next Secretary-General highlighting the importance that broad global perspective and public traction need to play and urges recognizing the UN as a flexible, multipurpose institution that must be retooled and better resourced to protect sovereignty, human rights and equal representation.

World of Warcraft dominiert als über 20 Jahre altes Spiel aktuell die Twitch-Charts. Das Streaming-Event Sauercrowd rund um Papaplatte, Metashi12 und HandOfBlood hat das MMO wieder für eine riesige Zielgruppe relevant gemacht – und auch Blizzard versucht mit der neuen Erweiterung Midnight, noch mehr Spieler nach Azeroth zu bringen. Moderatorin Lea, WoW-Retail-Expertin Magdalena, MMO Allrounder Karsten und Sauercrowds Raid Leader Falgan wollen klären: Warum spielt man heutzutage überhaupt noch WoW? Ist der aktuelle Hype nur verklärte Nostalgie und schnell wieder vorbei, oder erlebt der Blizzard-Klassiker wirklich einen zweiten Frühling?

Fresh off releasing one of the most beautiful hardcover books we've ever seen, Paul Millerd returns alongside Infinite Books CEO Jimmy Soni for a deep dive into the broken incentives of traditional publishing, why the industry breeds "cynicism at scale," and how the internet is powering a second Renaissance for creators. We get into what it means to build a creative life on your own terms, the Taoist approach to growing an audience, how to navigate financial uncertainty while raising a family, and why seemingly boring daily routines fuel extraordinary creative work.

Pister les animaux, pour twister sa réflexion Pendant plus de deux ans, Baptiste Morizot a observé des castors. En compagnie de la paysagiste franco-américaine Suzanne Husky et d'une escouade de camarades, ils-elles ont appris les techniques de ce petit ingénieur rongeur pour échafauder à leur tour des barrages, susceptibles de régénérer des rivières « abîmées » et trop « contrôlées », dans la Drôme ou aux États-Unis. C'est l'un des axes essentiels du passionnant et très accessible Rendre l'eau à la terre, son essai sur des « alliances possibles » face au chaos climatique, parcouru de sublimes aquarelles, sorti en 2024 et vendu à 21 000 exemplaires. « Chacun, chacune doit prendre en charge la défense de son milieu, explique le philosophe. Ne perdons pas trop de temps à nous demander si c'est déjà cuit, si on ferait mieux d'aller siroter des mojitos (…) Nous sommes à un moment pivot, analogue à la Renaissance ou les Lumières, à l'orée d'inventer (…) une nouvelle pensée de l'action technique qui permettrait de vivre de manière soutenable. » Dans son dernier ouvrage, Le regard perdu (2025), il écrit qu'être une personne « décente » consiste peut-être « à vouloir être honnête, respecter les mots, dire ce qu'on pense calmement, être ferme et accepter avec souplesse de s'être trompé, ne pas vouloir occuper l'esprit des autres avec des choses viles faites seulement pour capter l'attention (…) Penser comme si c'était la chose la plus importante au monde et, simultanément, ne pas se prendre trop au sérieux (…) Penser, juste pour la joie de vivre l'aventure d'une idée. Penser comme un chien court sur la plage. » C'est l'attitude à suivre lors de ce troisième et dernier épisode, qui ne manque pas de flair. L'auteur du mois : Baptiste Morizot Né en 1983 à Draguignan (Var), Baptiste Morizot est philosophe et maître de conférences à l'université d'Aix-Marseille. De pelage brun, de taille moyenne, cet homo sapiens a choisi de quitter son biotope de bibliothèques vernies pour partir à la rencontre des « créatures fabuleuses » et des lieux merveilleux qui peuplent notre Terre, afin de mieux comprendre et réagir à la crise écologique. De ses aventures au grand air, en Pologne, au Kirghizstan ou en Californie, il ressort déjà dix livres depuis Les diplomates (Wild Project, 2016) jusqu'au Regard perdu (Actes Sud, 2025), en passant par Manières d'être vivant (2020, vendu à près de 90 000 exemplaires). Il vit et travaille dans son « dojo » près de Valence, dans la Drôme. Remerciements : Adèle Tocquet, Studio Gong, Rodolphe Alexis.

Milanese culinary history reflects the city's position as a prosperous crossroads in northern Italy, where fertile Po Valley agriculture met centuries of foreign rule, trade, and innovation. Rooted in Lombardy's rich plains, lakes, and alpine foothills, the cuisine emphasizes hearty, comforting ingredients like rice (introduced via ancient trade routes and cultivated extensively since Roman times), butter over olive oil, beef and veal from abundant cattle farming, dairy products, and slow-cooked preparations suited to cooler climates. From Celtic and Roman foundations—where Gauls and Insubrians coexisted with settlers who brought lamb and irrigation techniques—Milanese food evolved through medieval communes, Renaissance courts under the Visconti and Sforza families, and foreign dominations that layered influences: Spanish Habsburg rule from 1535 introduced spices and techniques, Austrian control in the 18th-19th centuries sparked debates over dishes like cotoletta, and broader European exchanges refined aristocratic tastes.Iconic dishes emerged from this blend of peasant practicality and bourgeois elegance. The cotoletta alla milanese—a breaded and fried veal cutlet—has ancient origins, documented as early as 1134 in records from Sant'Ambrogio Basilica listing "lombolos cum panitio" (breaded loins) served to canons. A 19th-century patriotic dispute with Austrians claiming it derived from Wiener schnitzel was settled when Marshal Radetzky, in a letter, confirmed that no such dish existed in Austria, affirming its Milanese primacy. Risotto alla milanese, the golden saffron-infused rice, carries a beloved legend from 1574: during the construction of Milan's Duomo, a Flemish glassmaker's assistant nicknamed "Zafferano" (saffron) for using the spice to tint stained glass was pranked by colleagues who added it to wedding rice as a joke—the vibrant, flavorful result became a sensation. While the tale persists, the first printed recipes appear in the early 1800s, such as in Giovanni Felice Luraschi's 1829 cookbook, solidifying its status as a refined staple often enriched with bone marrow and served as a luxurious side.Ossobuco alla milanese ("bone with a hole"), braised cross-cut veal shanks prized for their marrow, dates to the late 19th century as a winter comfort food from humble kitchens, though marrow-based braises echo medieval traditions. Traditionally paired with risotto alla milanese for a complete piatto unico (one-dish meal), it embodies rustic depth with the bright contrast of gremolata. Other hallmarks include panettone, the dome-shaped Christmas sweet bread with origins in the 15th century (legend ties it to a 15th-century baker's improvisation), cassoeula (a pork and cabbage stew), minestrone alla milanese, and mondeghili (Milanese meatballs repurposing leftovers). Butter, rice over pasta, and long-simmered stews distinguish it from southern Italian olive oil and tomato-driven fare. At the same time, influences from the Austrian (breaded meats), Spanish (saffron via trade), and French (refined techniques) periods elevated it beyond peasant roots.Milan's cuisine balances simplicity and sophistication, shaped by its role as a commercial hub and fashion/finance capital—today's trattorias preserve these traditions amid global influences, making dishes like risotto and ossobuco timeless emblems of Milanese identity.Chef Walter writes the content for this episodeMore PodcastsChef Walters Cooking SchoolProduced by SimVal MediaSubscribe Free to the FK Newsletter

I am very excited to announce that I have written a new book, The Story of Art without Men: An illustrated guide to amazing women artists (out on 5 March!). It's an adaptation of The Story of Art without Men for readers aged 8–14 (and above), brought to life with beautiful illustrations by Ping Zhu and artworks from the past 500 years. From the Renaissance to the present day, via Cornwall, Japan, Paris and New York City, this book features a whole host of artistic trailblazers, freedom fighters, and game changers. We look at Surrealism – a movement born out of the horrors of the First World War in Paris, where artists turned to their imaginations and away from the broken world around them for inspiration… LISTEN TO A TEASER HERE... as I take my reader through the magical worlds of Leonora Carrington, Leonor Fini, Lee Miller, and more.

Send a textBeauty can preach. From the first words, we invite you into the luminous world of Fra Angelico—Dominican friar, master painter, and blessed soul—whose brush turned prayer into color and gold into theology. Guided by chant, silence, and Eucharistic devotion, his vocation formed at Fiesole and blossomed in Florence's San Marco, where frescoes still teach monks and pilgrims to adore in quiet. We explore how his Annunciations and Crucifixions do more than depict events; they create space where doctrine meets wonder and the heart learns to kneel.Our journey moves through Renaissance Florence to the Vatican, where Pope Nicholas V recognized a saintly hand capable of renewing Rome's sacred imagination. Inside the Nicoline Chapel, we look closely at the lives of Stephen and Lawrence as rendered by a painter who treated every wall as an altar. We unpack his materials—crushed lapis, azurite, and gold leaf—and his choices—measured perspective, compassionate faces, and halos that glow with lived faith—to show how technique bows to purpose: to lead souls to Christ present in the Eucharist.We then turn to iconography and influence. Mary's royal blue, the angelic hosts' living flame, and the quiet resolve of saints like Dominic and Thomas form a visual catechism that shaped Fra Bartolomeo, Perugino, early Raphael, and even touched Michelangelo and Leonardo. Along the way, we trace a theology of light—Lumen Christi—that makes his work feel both intimate and immense, a gentle summons to contemplation and mission. By the end, you'll see why Fra Angelico remains a guide for artists, pastors, teachers, and anyone longing for sacred beauty that heals and convinces.If this resonates, journey with us: explore pilgrimages, devotional resources, and ways to bring sacred art into your prayer.

"Non importa se è il modo giusto. Il divertimento sta nel perdersi un po', non credi?" La sua voce era un misto di entusiasmo e una leggera sfida.En: Giulia laughed. "It doesn't matter if it's the right way. The fun is in getting a little lost, don't you think?" Her voice was a mix of enthusiasm and a slight challenge.It: Lorenzo scrutò i sentieri stretti del labirinto, intimorito ma anche incuriosito.En: Lorenzo scrutinized the narrow paths of the maze, intimidated but also intrigued.It: Era un ragazzo riservato, senza mai osare mostrarsi completamente agli altri.En: He was a reserved boy, never daring to fully show himself to others.It: Tuttavia, i suoi occhi brillavano d'avventura, almeno agli occhi vivaci di Giulia.En: However, his eyes sparkled with adventure, at least in the lively eyes of Giulia.It: Mentre si addentravano, le siepi diventavano più alte e dense, e Lorenzo iniziò a preoccuparsi.En: As they ventured deeper, the hedges became taller and denser, and Lorenzo began to worry.It: Sapeva quanto fosse importante il Carnevale per lui: aveva lavorato segretamente a un costume che voleva mostrare a Giulia, la sua amica fidata e la musa nei momenti di insicurezza.En: He knew how important Carnival was to him: he had secretly worked on a costume he wanted to show Giulia, his trusted friend and muse in moments of insecurity.It: "Giulia, se rimaniamo bloccati qui," iniziò titubante Lorenzo, "potremmo perdere la parata. Io ho qualcosa di speciale da mostrarti."En: "Giulia, if we get stuck here," began Lorenzo hesitantly, "we might miss the parade. I have something special to show you."It: Giulia lo guardò con interesse. "Davvero? Allora dobbiamo sbrigarci! Ma prima... dimmi qualcosa di te, Lorenzo. Non ti apro mai completamente."En: Giulia looked at him with interest. "Really? Then we must hurry! But first... tell me something about yourself, Lorenzo. You never really open up."It: Lorenzo esitò, ma il calore nell'intonazione di Giulia lo incoraggiò.En: Lorenzo hesitated, but the warmth in Giulia's tone encouraged him.It: "Ho sempre paura, sai? Di fallire, di essere giudicato. Ma... sto lavorando su un costume. Qualcosa di diverso."En: "I'm always afraid, you know? Of failing, of being judged. But... I'm working on a costume. Something different."It: Giulia sorrise, sentendo il cuore del suo amico aprirsi. "Anche io ho paura, Lorenzo. La paura di non riuscire a dare vita alle emozioni nei miei testi."En: Giulia smiled, feeling her friend's heart open up. "I'm afraid too, Lorenzo. The fear of not being able to bring emotions to life in my writing."It: Si fermarono in un punto del labirinto, un piccolo spiazzo circolare che sembrava una bolla temporanea di silenzio.En: They stopped at a point in the maze, a small circular clearing that seemed like a temporary bubble of silence.It: Fu un momento di sincerità tra di loro.En: It was a moment of sincerity between them.It: "Proviamo questa via," propose Lorenzo, indicando un sentiero poco battuto.En: "Let's try this path," proposed Lorenzo, pointing to a less traveled path.It: Era una direzione sconosciuta, ma l'inspiegabile fiducia che provarono li spinse ad avanzare.En: It was an unknown direction, but the inexplicable trust they felt pushed them to move forward.It: Col tempo che rapidamente scorreva, giunsero improvvisamente a una radura centrale.En: As time quickly passed, they suddenly reached a central clearing.It: L'uscita era visibile tra i rami intricati.En: The exit was visible among the intricate branches.It: I minuti contati li fecero correre, mano nella mano, fuori dal labirinto proprio mentre il Carnevale iniziava a Roma con uno strabiliante corteo di carri colorati.En: The few remaining minutes made them run, hand in hand, out of the maze just as Carnival was starting in Rome with a dazzling parade of colorful floats.It: Con il cuore che ancora batteva per la corsa, Lorenzo rivelò finalmente il suo costume.En: With hearts still pounding from the run, Lorenzo finally revealed his costume.It: Era una meraviglia di colori e dettagli rinascimentali, un'opera d'arte vivente.En: It was a marvel of colors and Renaissance details, a living work of art.It: Giulia osservava con occhi sbalorditi e pieni di ammirazione.En: Giulia watched, eyes wide with amazement and admiration.It: "Lorenzo, è incredibile," disse lei, sentendo un genuino battito d'emozione pulsare attraverso di lei.En: "Lorenzo, it's incredible," she said, feeling a genuine surge of emotion pulsing through her.It: "Ero alla ricerca dell'emozione umana, e tu me l'hai mostrata in un modo che non mi aspettavo."En: "I was searching for human emotion, and you showed it to me in a way I didn't expect."It: Mentre la parata passava, Lorenzo e Giulia sentirono un cambiamento.En: As the parade passed by, Lorenzo and Giulia felt a change.It: Lorenzo capì che la sua timidezza poteva essere il suo punto di forza.En: Lorenzo realized that his shyness could be his strength.It: Giulia, invece, trovò le emozioni autentiche che cercava, imparando a cogliere il valore della vulnerabilità.En: Giulia, on the other hand, found the authentic emotions she was looking for, learning to appreciate the value of vulnerability.It: E così, tra i colori vivaci e le risate del Carnevale, si resero conto che trovare la via d'uscita non era soltanto questione di sentieri nel labirinto, ma anche di rivelazioni interiori che, insieme, si erano aiutati a scoprire.En: And so, amidst the vivid colors and laughter of Carnival, they realized that finding the way out wasn't just a matter of paths in a maze, but also of inner revelations that, together, they helped each other discover.

Molly Sims is a true Renaissance woman. From gracing the covers of French Vogue to acting to founding the YSE beauty brand, she's done it all in the beauty and entertainment industries. After years of hearing that she should model, she accepted an opportunity to take a semester off from Vanderbilt to give it a try in Europe. Her career ramped up quickly, and she soon found herself building a new and unexpected career overseas. Molly is very transparent about that time in her life, and how modeling quickly changed her relationship to her body. Her time in fashion enabled her to build a robust portfolio, which she leveraged into an on-screen career on MTV's House of Style, Las Vegas, and more. She's also worked behind the scenes as a producer on multiple shows and has built strong communities across nearly every major social media platform.No stranger to pivoting, Molly realized that she no longer wanted to be the face of a brand; she wanted to build something of her own. This realization was coupled with serious bouts of melasma and hyperpigmentation that may have been caused by ageing and or pregnancy. None of her usual treatments and products were working for her, but like always, she accepted this as a personal challenge to solve. She quickly realized that the skincare market for women over 35 was missing affordable products with scientifically backed results. Women with similar skincare needs were not being marketed to, and Molly knew just how to fill that gap: enter YSE Beauty. Built on years of professional experience working with makeup artists and skincare professionals, Molly built a brand that is now in hundreds of Sephora doors.

In this episode of the Crazy Wisdom podcast, host Stewart Alsop interviews John von Seggern, founder of Future Proof Music School, about the intersection of music education, technology, and artificial intelligence. They explore how musicians can develop timeless skills in an era of generative AI, the evolution of music production from classical notation to digital audio workstations like Ableton Live, and how AI is being used on the education side rather than for creation. The conversation covers music theory fundamentals, the development of instruments and recording technology throughout history, complex production techniques like sidechain compression, and the future of creative work in an AI-assisted world. John also discusses his development of Cadence, an AI voice tutor integrated with Ableton Live to help students learn music production.

Future-proofing musicians means teaching evergreen techniques while adapting to AI realities. John von Seggern founded Future Proof Music School to address both sides of music education in the AI era. Students learn timeless production skills that won't become obsolete as technology evolves, while simultaneously exploring meaningful creative goals in a world where generative AI exists. The school uses AI on the education side to help students learn, but students themselves aren't particularly interested in using generative AI for actual music creation, preferring to maintain their creative fingerprint on their work.2. The 12-note Western music system emerged from mathematical relationships discovered by Pythagoras and enabled collaborative music-making. Pythagoras demonstrated that pitch relates to vibrating string lengths, establishing mathematical ratios for musical intervals. This system allowed Western classical music to flourish because it could be notated and taught consistently, enabling large groups to play together. However, the piano is never perfectly in tune due to necessary compromises in the tuning system. By the 1920s, composers had explored most harmonic possibilities within this framework, leading to new directions in musical innovation.3. Recording technology fundamentally transformed music by making the studio itself the primary instrument. The invention of audio recording in the early-to-mid 20th century shifted music from purely instrumental composition to sound-based creation. This enabled entirely new genres like electronic dance music and hip-hop, which couldn't exist without technologies like synthesizers and samplers. Modern digital audio workstations like Ableton Live allow producers to have unlimited tracks and manipulate sounds in infinite ways, making any imaginable sound possible and moving innovation from hardware to software.4. Generative AI will likely replace generic music production but not visionary artists. John distinguishes between functional music (background music for films, work, or bars) and music where audiences deeply connect with the artist's vision. AI excels at generating functional music cheaply, which will benefit indie filmmakers and similar creators. However, artists with strong creative visions who audiences follow and identify with won't be replaced. The creative fingerprint and personal statement of important artists will remain valuable regardless of the tools they use, just as DJs created art through curation rather than original production.5. Copyright restrictions are limiting generative music AI's quality compared to other AI domains. Unlike books and visual art, recorded music copyrights are concentrated among a few companies that defend them aggressively. This prevents AI music models from training on the best music in each genre, resulting in lower-quality outputs. Some developers claim their private models trained on copyrighted music sound better than commercial offerings, but legal constraints prevent widespread access. This situation differs significantly from other creative domains where training data is more accessible.6. Modern music production involves complex technical skills like sidechain compression and multi-track mixing. Today's electronic music producers work with potentially hundreds of tracks, each with sophisticated processing. Techniques like sidechain compression allow certain elements (like kick drums) to dynamically reduce the volume of other elements (like bass), ensuring clarity in the final mix. Future Proof Music School teaches students these complex production techniques, with some aspiring producers creating incredibly detailed compositions with intricate effects chains and interdependent track relationships.7. Culture is fragmenting into micro-trends, making discovery rather than creation the primary challenge. John observes that while the era of mass media created mega-stars like The Beatles and Elvis, today's landscape features both enormous stars (like Taylor Swift) and an extremely long tail of creators making niche content. AI will make it easier for more people to create quality content, particularly in fields like independent filmmaking, but the real problem is discovery. Current algorithmic recommendations don't effectively surface hidden gems, suggesting a future where personal AI agents might better curate content based on individual preferences rather than platform-driven engagement metrics.

Le lait est partout, particulièrement en Suisse, qui soigne son image de pays d'élevage et de fromages. Aujourd'hui, on s'en méfie pourtant un peu du lait : indigeste, pas végan, surindustrialisé, l'image du breuvage nourricier élémentaire a pris un coup dans l'aile mais il a toujours de beaux jours devant lui. Dans cette série, Pierre Jenny a enquêté pour Histoire Vivante sur l'invention de la société du lait, ses symboles, ses usages et son économie monumentale. Le lait a connu plusieurs révolutions. La première, c'est à la Renaissance, où l'abondance du lait de vache permet la production de fromages et la mise en place d'une économie laitière qui prend son envol avec la révolution industrielle, c'est le deuxième âge du lait. Mais c'est surtout après la Deuxième guerre mondiale que l'Occident est submergé par une vague blanche. En plein baby-boom et pour écouler une production massive, des gouvernements font la promotion du lait à coups de publicité et de journées nationales. Didier Nourrisson, historien et professeur émérite d'histoire contemporaine à l'Université de Lyon 1, explique à Pierre Jenny les liens intimes que nous avons tissés avec le lait.

Ce pape est Pie II.Avant de devenir pape en 1458, Pie II s'appelait Enea Silvio Piccolomini. Humaniste accompli, diplomate au service de plusieurs cours européennes, il appartient pleinement à la Renaissance naissante, bien loin de l'image austère que l'on associe souvent à la papauté médiévale. Comme beaucoup d'intellectuels de son temps, il écrit abondamment : discours politiques, poèmes, traités moraux… et un ouvrage qui va traverser les siècles pour une raison bien particulière.Vers 1444, Piccolomini rédige un court roman en latin intitulé Historia de duobus amantibus — L'Histoire de deux amants. Le récit s'inspire d'un fait divers réel survenu à Sienne. Il raconte la passion clandestine entre Eurialus, jeune chevalier allemand, et Lucrèce, une femme mariée issue de la noblesse italienne. Le ton est sensuel, parfois explicite pour l'époque, et tranche radicalement avec la littérature religieuse habituelle.Ce n'est pas un texte pornographique au sens moderne, mais un roman érotique humaniste : le désir y est décrit sans détour, les corps sont évoqués, l'amour charnel est central, et l'auteur ne cache ni la force des pulsions ni la complexité morale des personnages. Le succès est immédiat. L'ouvrage circule dans toute l'Europe, est copié, commenté, et devient l'un des textes profanes les plus lus du XVe siècle.Pourquoi un futur pape écrit-il un tel livre ? Parce qu'à ce moment de sa vie, Piccolomini n'est pas encore homme d'Église au sens strict. Il mène une existence mondaine, a des relations amoureuses, et revendique une vision très humaniste de l'homme, héritée de l'Antiquité. Pour lui, comprendre l'amour et le désir fait partie de la compréhension du monde.La rupture intervient plus tard. Une fois élu pape sous le nom de Pie II, il change de ton. Il reconnaît publiquement ses écrits de jeunesse, les juge incompatibles avec sa nouvelle fonction et adopte une posture beaucoup plus morale. Fait remarquable : il ne renie pas totalement le livre, mais le présente comme l'erreur d'un homme avant sa conversion spirituelle.Ce contraste fait de Pie II une figure unique dans l'histoire de la papauté. Aucun autre pape n'a laissé derrière lui un roman érotique aussi assumé et diffusé. Son parcours illustre parfaitement la tension du XVe siècle entre héritage antique, liberté humaniste et autorité religieuse.En résumé, oui : l'histoire a bien connu un pape romancier érotique. Et ce détail, loin d'être anecdotique, raconte à lui seul toute la complexité intellectuelle et culturelle de la Renaissance. Hébergé par Acast. Visitez acast.com/privacy pour plus d'informations.

La langue des oiseaux. Cette formule ne désigne ni le chant réel des oiseaux, ni une langue secrète parlée à voix haute. Il s'agit d'un langage symbolique, utilisé au Moyen Âge et à la Renaissance par les alchimistes, les hermétistes et certains mystiques pour dissimuler un savoir jugé dangereux, sacré ou réservé aux initiés.Pourquoi ce nom étrange ?Dans de nombreuses traditions, l'oiseau est le symbole du lien entre le ciel et la terre. Il vole, il traverse les mondes. La langue des oiseaux serait donc la langue de ceux qui savent « s'élever », comprendre ce qui est caché derrière les apparences. Ce langage ne repose pas sur une grammaire classique, mais sur des jeux de sons, de doubles sens, d'analogies et de symboles.Au cœur de cette langue se trouve l'idée que les mots contiennent plus que leur sens apparent. Les alchimistes pratiquaient ce que l'on appelle une lecture phonétique et symbolique. Un mot pouvait être découpé, retourné, écouté plutôt que lu. Par exemple, un terme banal pouvait cacher une instruction opérative, un principe spirituel ou une étape du Grand Œuvre.La langue des oiseaux repose sur plusieurs mécanismes précis.D'abord, la phonétique : deux mots différents à l'écrit mais proches à l'oral pouvaient être volontairement confondus. Ensuite, l'étymologie imaginaire : les alchimistes inventaient parfois des origines aux mots pour leur donner un sens caché. Enfin, le symbolisme naturel : métaux, planètes, animaux, couleurs ou saisons étaient autant de codes renvoyant à des processus chimiques ou spirituels.Ce langage avait une fonction essentielle : protéger le savoir. À une époque où certaines connaissances pouvaient conduire au bûcher, écrire de manière obscure était une stratégie de survie. Les traités alchimiques sont ainsi volontairement ambigus, remplis d'énigmes, d'images contradictoires et de métaphores déroutantes. Comprendre un texte d'alchimie sans connaître la langue des oiseaux revenait à lire une recette volontairement fausse.Mais il ne s'agissait pas seulement de cacher. Pour les alchimistes, la vérité ne pouvait pas être transmise directement. Elle devait être devinée, comprise intérieurement. La langue des oiseaux oblige le lecteur à réfléchir, à transformer son regard, exactement comme l'alchimie prétend transformer la matière… et l'esprit.Aujourd'hui encore, cette langue fascine. Elle nous rappelle que, pendant des siècles, le savoir ne se donnait pas frontalement. Il se murmurait, se suggérait, se méritait. La langue des oiseaux n'était pas un simple code : c'était une épreuve intellectuelle et spirituelle, un filtre entre les curieux et les véritables chercheurs. Hébergé par Acast.

On this episode of the Italian American Podcast, host Patrick O'Boyle convenes a distinguished panel at the Italian Cultural Institute in New York to explore the often-overlooked world of Neapolitan Renaissance art. Claudio, the Institute's director, outlines its mission to promote Italian culture across New York, Boston, and Philadelphia, strengthening ties between Italy and the Italian American community. Patrick shares the story of restoring forgotten masterpieces in Buccino, Salerno—an initiative sparked by an unexpected American connection and dedicated to reviving sacred works of art. The discussion turns to innovation in preservation. Ivan describes how virtual reality and artificial intelligence are expanding access to cultural heritage, including the creation of digital twins of the Annunciation statues damaged in the 1980 Irpinia earthquake. These tools allow audiences to follow the restoration process step by step, illustrating how collaboration between Italian and American institutions can protect historic treasures. Art historian Danielle Oteri offers a perspective on the Neapolitan Renaissance's neglected legacy, recalling how aristocratic patrons once commissioned major works for rural churches, bringing artistic excellence to everyday communities. Reflecting on emigration, loss, and renewal, the episode underscores how the Italian diaspora can help restore ancestral towns, making the past not only remembered but rebuilt.   LOCATION: Italian Cultural Institute, 686 Park Avenue, New York, NY.    THEIR SOCIALS: Antonio Vincente Amendola Instagram: @antoniovicenteamendola   Danielle Oteri Her Website: https://www.feasttravel.com/ Instagram: @danielleoteri_italy Youtube:  @danielle-oteri    HOSTS: Patrick O'Boyle Danielle Oteri   SPECIAL GUESTS: Antonio Vincente Amdenola Claudio Pagliara Ivan Allevi   PRODUCED BY: Nicholas Calvello-Macchia

Aly & AJ. Ever heard of them?! Only the most iconic Disney Channel sister duo ever! And they go wayyy back with the Cyrus gals. From Hannah Montana tour memories to redefining yourself after Disney, this episode will transport you straight back to your favorite 2000s era… especially now that Disney Raves are taking over TikTok and crowds are screaming their songs all over again. Should Aly & AJ collab with Miley, Brandi & Noah? We think, yes.They get into their unshakable sister bond and why they'll never have a potential breakup (sorry, we had to), plus how this renaissance era somehow hits harder than any chart moment ever did. And in true Stoner fashion, they go on tangents about aging in Hollywood, YES to Cowbells, but noooo to the Sweet 16 movie, their unexpected country music roots, and why touring will either heal you or humble you. And to wrap it up, Aly provides important new mother advice that Mama Tish 100% agrees with. It's empowering for women, inspiring for artists and pure nostalgia for the Disney kids.Love you, Stoners.
