Puntata a cura di Untimoteo. Ispirata all'omonimo fumetto di Garth Ennis (The Boys), la serie Preacher parla di un anomalo predicatore texano in lotta con i propri demoni interiori. Letteralmente. In compagnia dell'imprevedibile fidanzata Tulip e del vampiro punk Cassidy, il nostro parte alla ricerca di Dio. Inseguito da redneck omofobi e razzisti, vecchie streghe, un assassino di santi, angeli, diavoli e una santa madre chiesa intenzionata a fare fuori tutti i rivali. Una storia piena di violenza, particolari disgustosi e colpi bassi: se non vi spaventa il politicamente scorretto, se non vi disturba vedere la  religione messa alla berlina e se siete in cerca di un'avventura dissacrante, Preacher fa decisamente al caso vostro. Altrimenti statene alla larga!“1 classico in 2” è uno dei format del podcast di Mondoserie: conversazioni a due voci su serie che hanno segnato l'immaginario.Abbiamo parlato di The Boys qui: https://www.mondoserie.it/the-boys/ Parte del progetto: https://www.mondoserie.it/Iscriviti al podcast sulla tua piattaforma preferita o su: https://www.spreaker.com/show/mondoserie-podcast  Collegati a MONDOSERIE sui social:https://www.facebook.com/mondoserie https://www.instagram.com/mondoserie.it/   https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCwXpMjWOcPbFwdit0QJNnXQ  https://www.linkedin.com/in/mondoserie/ 

La tulipomanía (tulpenmanie en neerlandés) o crisis de los tulipanes fue un periodo de euforia especulativa que se produjo en los Países Bajos en el siglo XVII, en los años anteriores a 1637. El objeto de especulación fueron los bulbos de tulipán, cuyo precio alcanzó niveles desorbitados, dando lugar a una gran burbuja económica y una crisis financiera. En el estudio de la economía, se le considera la primera burbuja económica de la historia. El relato de estos acontecimientos fue popularizado por el periodista escocés Charles Mackay, que lo reflejó en su libro Memorias de extraordinarias ilusiones y de la locura de las multitudes (1841)

Hoy recordaremos la vida de un icono cultural que siempre salía en las fotos como si se estuviera resbalando de donde estaba apoyao. Hoy hablaremos de James Douglas Morrison, “El rey Lagarto” El pequeño Jim nació en Florida el 8 de diciembre de 1943. Hijo de almirante de navío, sólo le faltó vivir en la base militar de Rota y meterse en las drog…AH, NO. Bueno, tuvo dos hermanos, Anne y Andy, que no sé si es que no les dio tiempo de pensar los nombres o es que la madre quería terminar rápido en el registro civil porque se estaba cagando. Desde mu chico escribía poesía, pintaba y leía vorazmente porque con tanta mudanza tenía menos amigos que Del Nido Jr. Como pa entrar en una universidad en los EEUU lo único que hay que hacer es enviar una carta con 7 códigos de barras de Tulipán, consiguió estudiar en la Universidad de Florida y cine en la Universidad de los Ángeles, en la misma promoción que Francis Ford Coppola, aunque él se centró en la poesía. Compaginaba sus estudios con las detenciones policiales: 6 veces los metieron en el calabozo, la 1ª en 1963 con 19 años por emborracharse en un partido de fútbol y hacer el gilipollas o la 2ª en 1966 por decir que había matado a su compañero de clase y lo había enterrado en el desierto, lo normal que te inventas cuando en realidad lo que has hecho es besar a una chavala sin consentimiento y te enteras que es familia de Chuck Norris. Cuando terminó sus estudios en la Universidad de los Ángeles rompió toda relación con su familia y dijo a la prensa que era hijo único y que sus padres estaban muertos. Para centrarse en su verdadera vocación se mudó a California, viviendo en azoteas o en casas de algunas mujeres, porque su amor cósmico era Pamela Courson pero a Morrison sólo le faltó por liarse con el Emérito, con Julio Iglesias y con Álvaro Muñoz Escassi. Con la idea de difundir su poesía fundó la banda “The Doors” en 1965 y con este proyecto consiguió tené dinero como pa llevarse borracho hasta que se murió, comprar tantas sustancias que ya no sabía lo que era pa él o pa desatascar el fregadero y ser el primer músico de rock en ser detenido en pleno concierto PROPIO por antisistema y por enseñar la güebada. Era nuestro Joaquín Sabina. Ya en esta época tenía la melenita con las puntitas pa fuera, losojito mu caíos como si siempre se hubiera despertado un poquito antes de que sonara el despertador y pánico escénico que le hacía cantar de espaldas en los primeros conciertos como si estuviera en el rincón de pensar. En 1967 conoció a Nico, la cantante alemana de Velvet Underground, con la que empezó una relación hasta que se enteró su novia, Pamela Courson que le dijo “ven, QUE TENEMOS QUE HABLAR” Desgraciadamente, el 3 de julio del 71, mientras esperaba un juicio por exhibicionismo, Jim no salió del baño de su casa en París ni por que se lo dijera Pamela, aunque ustedes siempre podrán recordarlo cuando se resbalen de un sitio donde están apoyaos o pongan como escusa que han matao a un colega y lo han enterrado en el desierto.

Duli Hua has planted more than a thousand tulips in front of her family's business, Grand Rodeo Restaurant, in Grand Falls-Windsor

Tread Perilously returns to the timey-wimey with a month they just had to call "Let's Do The Time Loop Again!" First up: an episode of Fringe known as "White Tulip." When Olivia, Peter, and Walter are called to the scene of a train car filled with corpses, it soon becomes clear a former MIT professor may be to blame. Walter quickly discovers the scientist is trying to use time travel to seemingly save his fiancée who perished several months earlier. Walter has his own experience with grief leading to mad science. Will he be able to talk the other scientist down from his experiment before more people die? Erik and Justin like Fringe and make no bones about it. But they also like to make fun of J.J. Abrams, so they quickly get into the weeds with that. Star John Noble quickly proves to be the episode MVP, but guest star Peter Weller gives him a run for his money. Justin determines the three premises of Fringe. He also recounts how he derailed his calculus class. Erik presents more thoughts on Ghostbusters: Frozen Empire. The pair question whether or not the episode's time loop is effective, the real issue with plotholes is explored, and the real Richard Dragon suddenly becomes important.

Did you know a single tulip once cost more than a mansion? In this episode of BullCast, we're diving into one of history's wildest economic bubbles: Tulip Mania. We kick things off with a lighthearted look at some of the biggest pop culture fads that rose to fame and quickly crashed.

something.Nl: En terwijl de zon langzaam onderging in Mesopotamië, zag Bram het licht in de ogen van zijn vrienden.En: And as the sun slowly set in Mesopotamië, Bram saw the light in his friends' eyes.Nl: Geschiedenis had hen heel even verbonden met het verleden, en dat maakte hen klaar om het festival verder te vieren.En: History had briefly connected them with the past, and that made them

This week, we're going Dutch… Well, sort of. The original spec script describes it as a “Hitchock-ian style thriller with black humor.” However, much like the titular town, in the words of its lead character Nancy Vangergroot, this movie is “like carbon dioxide. It's so sleepy and comfortable, and you won't even know you're suffocating.” It's Mimi Cave's Holland.

What's “Reformed” theology today? Greg Smith, a former Reformed pastor, unravels the tweed-coated posturing of a brand that claims intellectual edge but feels like evangelicalism with elbow patches. From preaching TULIP to questioning its cracks, he exposes a vague identity coasting on buzzwords. Catholicism's 2,000-year depth—think Aquinas, cathedrals, Chesterton—makes Reformed flexing look silly. Join Greg's journey from Calvinism to Rome, and ask: Is Reformed just a brand for smarter but generic evangelicals?   Support this ministry so more people can consider Catholicism!

Welcome to Season 5 of the More Math for More People podcast!!!What if high school mathematics could be truly transformed into something students find engaging, meaningful, and applicable to their lives? In this thought-provoking conversation with mathematics education experts Kris Cunningham and Kristi Martin, we dive deep into the possibilities presented in the NCTM publication "High School Mathematics Reimagined, Revitalized, and Relevant."The discussion opens doors to a reimagined approach to high school mathematics that moves beyond the traditional curriculum model. Both guests highlight the importance of mathematical modeling as a pathway to authentic learning experiences where students tackle complex, multi-variable problems without predetermined solutions. This creates space for creative thinking and problem-solving skills that transcend the classroom.However, transformation doesn't come without challenges. Kristi candidly shares her classroom experiences of struggling to surface the mathematical concepts within engaging modeling activities and the difficulty of finding relevant problems that align with required standards. Kris emphasizes the need for systemic support, including administrative understanding and professional development opportunities that give teachers space to experiment and grow.Perhaps most powerfully, both educators stress the importance of persistence through inevitable frustrations. "If you believe in it and know it's great for students, just keep trying," Kristi encourages, reminding listeners that transformation is a journey rather than a destination. The conversation serves as both inspiration and practical roadmap for anyone interested in creating mathematics education that truly prepares students for their futures rather than simply repeating practices of the past.Send Joel and Misty a message!The More Math for More People Podcast is produced by CPM Educational Program.

This week's guest is Jim Fox (https://www.linkedin.com/in/james-s-fox/), SVP of Americas Supply Operations at AstraZeneca. Jim explains how digital manufacturing in pharma has evolved over his nearly 3 decades in the industry, from basic automation and data collection to advanced predictive modeling and integrated digital ecosystems—and why having humans in-the-loop continues to be critical despite these advancements in autonomy.

In this episode of GraceNotes from no. 87 "Arminianism and the Gospel of Grace," we dive into the theology of Arminianism and its views on the gospel of grace. Named after Dutch theologian Jacob Arminius, Arminianism challenges the strong determinism of Calvinism, particularly in its views on salvation, free will, and God's grace. We'll explore the historical roots of Arminianism, from Arminius' objections to John Calvin's doctrines to the formalization of Arminian theology in the early 17th century. Through this study, we'll unpack key points of disagreement between Arminianism and Calvinism, such as the nature of election, the concept of prevenient grace, and the question of whether salvation can be lost. While Arminianism emphasizes human free will and the ability to choose salvation, it also presents challenges to the gospel of grace, particularly when it comes to assurance of salvation and the idea of works in maintaining salvation. How do Arminians reconcile their belief that salvation can be lost with the Bible's teaching on God's unconditional grace? We'll also look at how Arminianism compares to biblical teachings on eternal security, examining the struggles many believers face with assurance of salvation when their security is tied to human effort rather than God's grace. This episode seeks to bring clarity to these complex theological systems and highlight the importance of understanding the full gospel of grace. Whether you're familiar with the terms TULIP, prevenient grace, or the history of Arminianism, this episode will equip you to better understand both Arminian and Calvinist views and how they relate to the truth of the gospel. Join us as we unpack the core of the gospel message—salvation by grace alone, through faith alone—and why it's essential for believers to rest in the assurance of eternal security.

Jerry Spencer's mum worked at Kew Gardens. As a child he would go there to meet her at lunchtime. Leaving school he trained as a gardener. However a period of living on the streets after he lost his mum and his home, erased his gardening memories.

Viaggio virtuale a Napoli - Spendieren Sie einen Cafè (1€)? Donate a coffee (1€)? https://ko-fi.com/italiano Livello B1#Viaggio #Napoli #italia #vhs #vacationConsigli su cosa vedere a NapoliCari amici e amanti dell'italiano benvenuti al nuovo episodio di Tulip. Sicuramente molti di voi avranno approfittato delle vacanze di Pasqua per fare un viaggio e oggi voglio continuare a viaggiare con voi virtualmente e vi parlo di una città italiana così bella e così interessante che anche Johann Wolfgang von Goethe ha detto: „Vedi Napoli e poi muori“.C'è però un'altra storia, una vera e propria leggenda che dice che un tempo viveva una strega potentissima. Tutti pensavano che avesse die poteri oscuri, cattivi, in realtà la strega Raziella era buona e aiutava gli altri. All'epoca a Napoli andavano tutti quelli che avevano problemi di cuore, soffrivano per amore. Arrivati a Napoli, erano talmente stregati dalle bellezze della città che dimenticavano i loro problemi. Purtroppo però al momento di ripartire e tornare a casa i problemi tornavano e chi soffriva per amore tornava triste e non aveva più voglia di vivere.Raziella allora creò una bevanda stregata, un vino inebriante, capace di far dimenticare i ricordi dolorosi. Prima di partire le persone bevevano il vino magico e, come per incanto, dimenticavano tutto. Tutto ciò era quasi come morire per poi rinascere e da qui il detto „vedi Napoli e poi muori“.Bene amici cominciamo con Spaccanapoli. Spaccanapoli è una vita dritta che divide la città nel mezzo in due parti. Ha origini molto antiche ed è uno dei tre decumani con i quali i romani dividevano la città. Il verbo spaccare infatti significa “spalten, brechen/ti split, to break). Si può ammirare molto bene salendo a San Martino, dove c'è la Certosa un bellissimo monastero. ...- The full transcript of this Episode is available via "Luisa's learn Italian Premium", Premium is no subscription and does not incur any recurring fees.

Rabia from "Suddenly: A Frank Sinatra Podcast" and "TCBCast After Dark" joins Justin for a main feed discussion all about the 1977 compilation "Welcome to My World," which brought together an intriguing collection of country recordings spanning from 1958-1973 with some loose thematic threads that we try to tease out. Plus, Rabia dug up a handful of original contemporary reviews that reveal how critics received this album at the time, both positively and negatively! For Song of the Week, as voted on by TCBCast Patreon backers, Justin rolls with the final track featured on the album, Don Gibson's "I Can't Stop Loving You" which was a mainstay of Elvis's setlists for a number of years and also recorded as a jam during his 1969 sessions. Justin reflects on Gibson's original, Ray Charles' iconic cover, and what Elvis might have intended with his frequent inclusion of it in his live shows.  Rabia then takes us home with a dive into the rare one-liner Elvis did (twice!) of "Tiptoe Through the Tulips," a Tin Pan Alley song resurrected in 1968 - the same year Elvis was filmed on the set of his NBC TV special singing the song - by the immensely talented pop culture phenomenon that was Tiny Tim.  You can find "SUDDENLY" on most major podcast platforms where TCBCast is also available. If you enjoy TCBCast, please consider supporting us with a donation at Patreon.com/TCBCast.
