Li Wang Better every day. That's the way I aspire to live. I was born in 1973 in Philadelphia. My parents immigrated from Taipei and my dad's first job out of graduate school was in Philadelphia. I'm a die-hard Eagles fan and being raised in that city has shaped my identity. Hip-hop culture served as my first artistic influence. Run-DMC, Public Enemy and the Beastie Boys shaped how I created my own environment. During the summer of O.J. trial I interned at the Philadelphia Daily News. I became hooked on journalism. I went on to another internship at the Des Moines Register and started my career as a business reporter for the Times of Trenton. I was the arts editor for the Honolulu Weekly and then the film critic for the Harrisburg Patriot-News. Website design I could see the end of the print industry so I decided to get a professional certificate in digital marketing from New York University. I started an agency with a partner doing SEO, PPC , content creation and website design. My partner decided to focus on software development and I turned my attention to website design. Today I help small business owners shine online with compelling websites to resonate with their target audiences. Personal interests I'm a fitness enthusiast (CrossFit), watch collector (14060M, PAM112, SBGA085), and father (Matthew and Noemi).

#SessionLive avec deux poètes de la chanson française : Mathieu Boogaerts pour Grand piano et Albin de la Simone pour Toi là-bas. (Rediffusion) Notre premier invité est Mathieu Boogaerts pour la sortie de Grand Piano. Note d'intention par Mathieu Boogaerts : Mathieu Boogaerts, « Grand piano » ? C'est le titre de mon neuvième album, et c'est un oxymore : « Figure de style qui vise à rapprocher deux termes que leurs sens devraient éloigner ». « Grand » car je l'ai voulu ainsi : franc, épais, puissant, plus de matière, de volume que ses prédécesseurs... Plus âgé ? Une batterie, une basse électrique, une basse synthétique, une guitare électrique, une guitare acoustique, un synthétiseur, un saxophone, une flûte, un accordéon, un chœur, des percussions, un piano électrique et un piano droit : la gamme de couleurs qu'il m'a fallu pour dépeindre en détails les sentiments que je déploie dans mes douze nouvelles chansons. Mais « Piano », car toujours sur le ton de la confidence, léger, fragile, doux, nuancé. Comment ? J'ai écrit et composé ce répertoire entre septembre 2020 et mars 2023 dans de nombreux lieux dont Londres, Paris, Istanbul, Amsterdam, Budapest, Plaisians, Risoul et les Landes. Le disque a été enregistré « de manière classique » entre 2023 et 2024 à La Frette Studios en région parisienne. Comme pour chacun de mes disques, Renaud Letang a ensuite élaboré le mixage, puis le duo de graphistes M/M (Paris) a conçu la pochette : ici une nature morte illustrant la facture, le geste, l'intention poétique de l'album. Avant ? Né en 1970 à Fontenay-sous-Bois. J'ai sorti mon premier « Ondulé » de clip-vidéo en 1995, suivi de l'album Super. Depuis : huit albums studio, trois albums live, plus de mille concerts à travers le monde, des chansons pour Camélia Jordana, Luce, Zaz, Vanessa Paradis... D'innombrables collaborations. En 2023, en pleine fabrication du disque, j'ai donné vingt concerts à Paris lors desquels je tirai au sort les chansons de ma discographie. Après ? Joie : l'écriture et la réalisation des clips-vidéo des morceaux. Les interpréter sur scène accompagné par mon tout nouveau groupe... Le Grand piano ! Mon meilleur disque ? Oui ! Titres interprétés dans le grand studio - Ma Jeunesse Live RFI - Faut toujours écouter son corps, extrait de l'album - Dans une case Live RFI. Line Up : Mathieu Boogaerts, guitare voix.

Le Livre Mes battements. Rome, 30 septembre 2024. Il est 11h du matin, partie à 4h30 chez moi, j'arrive à la Villa Médicis qui me fait le beau cadeau de m'inviter en courte résidence pour finir le livre que vous tenez entre les mains. Donc, à l'heure où j'écris ces lignes, ce n'est encore qu'un tas de dessins et de textes plus ou moins ordonnés. J'ai du pain sur la planche. Car un premier livre de ce type, comme un premier disque, est un peu constitué d'une vie entière, et quand on a 50 ans passés, il y a du tri à faire. À partir du deuxième, si on a bien fait son boulot dans le premier, on part d'une page blanche ou, au pire, d'une page beige. Nous verrons. L'album Toi là-bas. Paris, le 1er décembre 2024. Après quelques saisons très denses, j'ai ressenti à l'automne dernier le besoin imparable de me retrouver seul. Du moins face à moi-même. Je suis parti m'enfermer à la Villa Médicis où j'ai terminé d'écrire et de dessiner mon premier livre (Mes battements, paru en mars 2025 chez Actes Sud), un voyage intérieur qui, depuis des mois, me baladait loin dans le passé, mon village, mon enfance, mon adolescence. Je me suis amusé à reprendre quelques chansons de mes débuts comme Je te manque, Avril 4000 ou Non merci (2005), et j'ai remarqué que je leur donnais quelque chose que je ne voyais pas à l'époque. Je les habitais d'une nouvelle façon. J'ai tiré le fil, et d'autres chansons comme J'aime lire (2008) et enfin Pourquoi on pleure (2017) sont sorties naturellement de la pelote. Alors j'ai eu envie de les enregistrer à nouveau, comme de les photographier dans leur nouveau costume. Je me suis laissé aller sans faire de plans, sans pression, juste pour le jeu de la réinterprétation, pour le plaisir. Beaucoup de plaisir, musical autant que vocal. Les chansons en sont sorties plus sereines et plus sensuelles aussi, je crois. Boîtes à rythmes et basses profondes, synthétiseurs en halos suaves autour de mes instruments acoustiques chéris, comme mon piano Una Corda, et aussi cette incroyable Fender VI chère à The Cure ou Richard Hawley, une guitare électrique des années 60 accordée une octave plus grave, dont le son me retourne (écoutez le solo dans La valse des lilas). J'ai invité Alice on the Roof – avec qui je travaille pour son prochain album et que j'adore – à partager Pourquoi on pleure. Alice a accepté. La chanson en duo a pris un sens nouveau. Je pensais faire un petit EP à sortir à l'occasion de la parution du livre, mais comme je fouillais dans le rétroviseur depuis des mois, j'ai croisé quelques autres chansons importantes dans ma vie. La très souchonesque C'est bien moi que j'ai chantée l'an passé en hommage à Françoise Hardy avec Sage. La sublime Valse des lilas de Michel Legrand dont j'ai tant aimé la version américaine Once Upon a Summertime par Blossom Dearie ou Miles Davis. Et le temps s'arrêtait, d'Adamo, que nous avions arrangée avec Julien Chirol et Renaud Létang en 2003 pour le grand Salvatore lui-même. Et surtout, Ma gueule, lourdeur de Johnny qui me renvoyait au pire de la préadolescence brutale et masculiniste, jusqu'à ce que je découvre en la chantant qu'elle pouvait m'aller comme un gant et m'émouvoir même. Puisque mon livre et mon disque sortent en même temps, puisque leurs visuels et leurs thématiques sont cousins, j'ai quand même eu envie d'écrire une chanson nouvelle pour faire le pont entre les deux. En laissant errer mon regard dans les arbres de la Villa Médicis, j'ai revu Laurence, Natalia, Maud, Sidonie, Ouria… premières amoureuses qui ne m'ont pas connu. Que j'ai aimées, follement, mais de loin. Que j'ai regardées, sans relâche, dont j'ai étudié les gestes, les habitudes, les vêtements, ne détournant le regard que si je sentais le leur se tourner vers moi. J'avais trop peur. Peur de quoi. J'ai aussi entendu dans les arbres les échos de Charlotte Sometimes des Cure, sur laquelle je pleurais ces amours à distance. Trois jours plus tard, j'ai terminé la première maquette de Toi là-bas. Ça n'est donc pas un EP, mais bien un album. Mon huitième. Post-scriptum : Je ne résiste pas à repartir sur la route pour promener mes chansons et mon livre. Cette fois, je serai seul sur scène. Je chanterai et jouerai, je parlerai un peu, mais aussi je dessinerai. À moins d'un miracle anatomique, il est peu probable que je parvienne à faire tout cela en même temps.

Soixante-dix ans plus tard, il retrouva une photo en noir et blanc, figée dans le temps. Il avait 6 ans, chaussures impeccables, cheveux soigneusement coiffés. À ses côtés, une silhouette floue, indéchiffrable, presque fantomatique. Qui était-elle ? Portait-elle un nom emprunté, une identité dissimulée ? L'image, simple et mystérieuse, éveilla en lui un besoin irrépressible de savoir. Une soif de vérité. Alors, guidé par une étrange intuition, il se lança à sa recherche, entre passé et énigme.

Note aux auditrices et auditeurs : cet épisode a été diffusé une première fois le 14 février.L'intelligence artificielle générative a déjà révolutionné de nombreux métiers de la création : la musique, la peinture en passant par la photographie, l'écriture de scénarios, le graphisme, le doublage de son, et l'interprétation.De plus en plus de créateurs sont sommés de travailler en bonne intelligence avec l'IA, les mêmes voient leurs créations pillées par des systèmes qui ingurgitent ces contenus pour en générer d'autres, sur demande. Et une troisième catégorie d'artistes est tout simplement remplacée par ces outils.Ces développements technologiques sont si rapides qu'ils craignent la mort de la création originale, remplacée par de l'art synthétique sans âme.. faute de budgets pour les véritables artistes.Ils réclament donc un sursaut du politique, pour que des règles soient imposées aux géants de la tech, en particulier autour du droits d'auteur.Un combat, qui pose des questions fondamentales : qu'est ce qui fait l'essence de la création humaine et comment la défendre ?Cette disruption et les solutions pour protéger ces oeuvres on été abordées cette semaine à Paris, lors du sommet pour l'action sur l'intelligence artificielle des 10 et 11 février 2025 organisé par l'Elysée et aussi lors d'un contre-sommet au Théâtre du Chatelet, à quelques centaines de mètres de là.Avec Brigitte Lecordier, actrice et directrice artistiqueNabil Ayouch, réalisateurJane C.

L'Union européenne a promis d'atteindre la neutralité carbone dans 25 ans, et pour y arriver, les pays sont lancés dans une course à l'énergie renouvelable. C'est particulièrement le cas, en Andalousie, dans le sud de l'Espagne, qui est l'une des régions les plus ensoleillées d'Europe. Là, plusieurs centaines de fermes solaires de grande ampleur sont en cours de développement. Oui, sauf que pour installer tous ces panneaux, les autorités espagnoles rachètent des terrains agricoles, et exproprient, parfois de force, les paysans. Le solaire est d'un coup devenu bien moins populaire.

Commentaire de L'Évangile du jour Matthieu 25, 1-13 En ce temps-là, Jésus disait à ses disciples cette parabole : « Le royaume des Cieux sera comparable à dix jeunes filles invitées à des noces, qui prirent leur lampe pour sortir à la rencontre de l'époux. Cinq d'entre elles étaient insouciantes, et cinq étaient prévoyantes : les insouciantes avaient pris leur lampe sans emporter d'huile, tandis que les prévoyantes avaient pris, avec leurs lampes, des flacons d'huile. Comme l'époux tardait, elles s'assoupirent toutes et s'endormirent. Au milieu de la nuit, il y eut un cri : ‘Voici l'époux ! Sortez à sa rencontre.' Alors toutes ces jeunes filles se réveillèrent et se mirent à préparer leur lampe. Les insouciantes demandèrent aux prévoyantes : ‘Donnez-nous de votre huile, car nos lampes s'éteignent.' Les prévoyantes leur répondirent : ‘Jamais cela ne suffira pour nous et pour vous, allez plutôt chez les marchands vous en acheter.' Pendant qu'elles allaient en acheter, l'époux arriva. Celles qui étaient prêtes entrèrent avec lui dans la salle des noces, et la porte fut fermée. Plus tard, les autres jeunes filles arrivèrent à leur tour et dirent : ‘Seigneur, Seigneur, ouvre-nous !' Il leur répondit : ‘Amen, je vous le dis : je ne vous connais pas.' Veillez donc, car vous ne savez ni le jour ni l'heure. » L'Amour Vaincra ! Fr.

Donald Trump a dominé l'actualité de la semaine, de la guerre éclair avec l'Iran au sommet de l'Otan. Dans un contexte géopolitique de plus en plus instable, la France et l'Europe semblent cantonnées au rôle de spectateur. A l'Assemblée nationale, l'opposition a vertement critiqué l'exécutif. Le groupe LFI lui reproche d'être "le laquais de Netanyahu et de Trump", tandis que le RN dénonce "l'absence de la voix de la France" sur la scène internationale.

Episode Overview This episode dives deep into the evolving solar landscape—covering key state-level policy battles, rising resistance to distributed solar, the latest federal tax package in Congress, and the long term trends in the solar industry. Fox Swim, Senior Solar Industry Researcher at Aurora Solar, shares expertise on policy, utility rates, and resiliency-minded markets. Key Themes & Highlights Aurora Solar & Fox's Expertise Aurora provides industry-leading solar design and sales software globally. State-Level Anti-Solar Trends Utilities favor centralized generation, clashing with distributed energy advocates. California's AB 942 aims to end grandfathered NEM/NEM 2 contracts when homes are sold, pushing owners into less favorable NEM 3 tariffs—effectively breaking existing contracts. Resiliency & Distributed Generation Extreme weather, aging grid infrastructure, and power instability are driving demand for solar + storage. Distributed generation is seen as a smarter, faster, and more resilient solution than central utility models. Virtual battery programs in states like Connecticut are emerging as positive examples. Federal Tax Bill & IRA Disruptions The recent House tax bill introduces critical threats: Elimination of IRA incentives (including ITC, storage, and battery credits). “Fiat” sourcing restrictions targeting Chinese-manufactured solar components, potentially nullifying battery and panel subsidies. Fox warns of an unplanned “solar winter” where many small players may fold, though core demand won't vanish. Emphasis is shifting toward resilience and independence—not just ROI. 2025 Aurora Solar Snapshot Insights (Backed by Aurora's data on ~12.5 million projects, surveys of 1,000+ homeowners, 1,000 professionals, and 500+ businesses) Resilience over ROI: 76% of homeowners view solar as a good investment (up from 43% in 2023) Financing shifts: Third‑party ownership (leases/PPAs) are growing; battery demand surges with 78% installers seeing increased interest Bipartisan appeal: Solar cuts across party lines—Republicans, Democrats, and Independents all value solar and IRA Trust challenges: Installer mistrust doubled—44% of homeowners find trustworthy companies hard to identify Motivations revealed: Top drivers: bill savings, energy independence, environmental impact (>50% cite environment as a top-3 reason) Tactical Takeaways for Mavericks Strengthen Trust – Improve transparency and contract clarity; be proactive about ethical sales practices. Refocus Messaging – Highlight solar + storage for resilience and independence—especially in disaster-prone regions. Engage Politically – Contact local/state reps, especially around bills like North Carolina's ITC reinstatement. Diversify Revenue – Build resilience offerings or pivots like community solar and virtual battery programs. Advocacy & Data – Join efforts with industry groups (SEIA, ACORE), and use Aurora's regional data in policymaker discussions. Quotes from the Interview “76% of homeowners now say solar is a smart investment—it used to be 43%!” “Installer trust has tanked: 44% of homeowners find it hard to pick a dependable provider.” “Solar isn't just about ROI anymore—it's energy independence and resilience.” Benoy Thanjan Benoy Thanjan is the Founder and CEO of Reneu Energy and he is also an advisor for several solar startup companies.

Unlocking Energy Storage Value: PJM Market Reforms with Brattle Group's Serena Patel Episode Overview: In this special live episode of the Solar Maverick Podcast, recorded at the 2025 Mid-Atlantic Solar & Storage Industries Association (“MSSIA”) Solar & Storage Insight Conference in New Brunswick, NJ, host Benoy Thanjan sits down with Serena Patel, Energy Research Associate at The Brattle Group, to unpack critical energy storage market reforms in the PJM interconnection. The conversation focuses on a groundbreaking report from Brattle, commissioned by the American Clean Power Association, that lays out a roadmap for unlocking the full value of energy storage across U.S. energy markets. Key Topics Covered: Why PJM's current market design undervalues flexible storage resources The two most urgent market reforms: ▪ Opportunity cost bidding for energy storage ▪ Creation of new ancillary service and ramping reserve products How suppressed price signals hinder storage operators' revenue Lessons from other RTOs like CAISO and NYISO that PJM can implement now The case for all-source procurement in local reliability planning The critical role of stakeholder engagement and policy advocacy to push reforms forward Featured Report: Energy Storage Market Design Reforms: A Roadmap to Unlock the Potential of Energy Storage By: Brattle Group for the American Clean Power Association Released: April 2025 https://www.brattle.com/insights-events/publications/brattle-experts-prepared-an-energy-storage-market-reform-roadmap-for-several-us-electricity-markets/ Notable Quotes: “Our current systems were built for legacy fossil fuel generators. If we don't reform the markets now, we risk undervaluing the flexibility that storage offers.” – Serena Patel “Opportunity cost bidding would help storage developers maximize revenue by bidding strategically, rather than being constrained by outdated market rules.” – Serena Patel Takeaway for Developers & Policymakers: To accelerate storage deployment, developers must actively engage in PJM stakeholder processes and advocate for reforms that enable revenue stacking and flexibility compensation. The Brattle report offers actionable insights to guide that involvement. Thanks to MSSIA: Special thanks to the MiSSIA for hosting the Solar Maverick Podcast at their first annual conference and for their continued solar and storage advocacy in NJ, PA, and DE.

Comme toujours, la première partie de l'émission sera consacrée à une discussion sur l'actualité. Nous commencerons par une conversation sur le projet Esther de la Heritage Foundation, qui s'attaque au militantisme pro-palestinien aux États-Unis. Ce projet est censé lutter contre l'antisémitisme, mais il semble que sa position pro-israélienne masque des objectifs propres aux nationalistes blancs. Nous poursuivrons avec une discussion sur le rapport indiquant que les mouvements d'extrême droite de l'UE tireraient parti de la frustration des jeunes hommes de moins de 25 ans face à la « perte d'un emploi stable » et de leur « indépendance financière », qui sont des « marqueurs traditionnels de la masculinité ». La partie scientifique de l'émission d'aujourd'hui sera consacrée à une étude selon laquelle les hommes français ont une empreinte carbone 26 % plus élevée que les femmes parce qu'ils aiment la viande rouge et les voitures. Enfin, nous parlerons des chaussures de Barbie qui reflètent l'évolution qu'a connue le rôle des femmes dans la société ces 65 dernières années. Comme toujours, nos sections grammaire et expressions seront consacrées à la langue et à la culture françaises. Notre première conversation montrera comment appliquer la leçon de grammaire d'aujourd'hui : The Personal Direct Object Pronouns. Et notre dernière conversation de l'épisode d'aujourd'hui illustrera l'utilisation de l'expression française : C'est la croix et la bannière ! - Le projet Esther de la Heritage Foundation vise à éradiquer le soutien pro-palestinien aux États-Unis - Dans certains pays de l'UE, les jeunes hommes votent de manière disproportionnée pour les partis d'extrême droite - En France, les hommes ont une empreinte carbone 26 % plus élevée à cause de la viande rouge et des voitures - Les chaussures de Barbie reflètent le changement du rôle des femmes dans la société depuis 65 ans - « Touche pas au comté » : une nouvelle polémique à la française - L'administration française est-elle vraiment compliquée ?
