In 1612—just one year after Shakespeare wrote The Tempest—Venetian physician Santorio Santori transformed Galileo's simple thermoscope into the world's first thermometer by adding a calibrated scale and sealing the device. His invention marked the birth of quantified medicine, turning vague sensations of “hot” and “cold” into measurable data that could guide treatment. In this episode, historian of medicine Dr. Fabrizio Bigotti joins us to explore Santorio's remarkable innovations, how they predated Galileo's own instruments, and why this quiet inventor deserves recognition as the true father of the thermometer.

Good afternoon, I'm _____ with today's episode of EZ News. Tai-Ex opening The Tai-Ex opened up 20-points this morning from Friday's close, at 28,253 on turnover of 5.4-billion N-T. The market lost ground on Friday after Wall Street fell back following President Donald Trump's meeting with China's Xi Jinping as investors remained concerned over persisting trade tensions between Washington and Beijing. Urgent Care Centers begin operating on Sundays Urgent Care Centers began operating on Sunday at 13 locations across the six special municipalities, staffed by rotating primary care physicians. Health Minister Shih Chung-liang says centers will be open on Sundays and national holidays for patients with fevers, respiratory symptoms, gastrointestinal symptoms, minor injuries or acute (急性) discomfort in children. The fees will be lower than large hospitals and are party of efforts by the government to reducing patient numbers in emergency rooms. Tainan runners shine at Penghu Cross-Island Marathon Participants from a Tainan-based group were the biggest winners at Sunday's 2025 Penghu Cross-Island Marathon. The Penghu National Scenic Area Headquarters says a total of 3,443 runners from 19 countries took part in the event. They included 101 international athletes, 2,664 from Taiwan proper, and 678 from Penghu. An eight-member team from Tainan took the line honors (最先完成賽程的榮譽) in both the men's an women's races. UK One Train Stabbing Suspect Released Without Charge British police say one of two men arrested over a stabbing attack on a train has been released without charge. The attack took place as the 6:25 p.m. train from Doncaster in northern England to London's King's Cross station was about halfway through its two-hour journey, having just departed (離開) from a stop. The only remaining suspect is a 32-year-old British man who remains in custody on suspicion of attempted murder. Police said earlier that two men, aged 32 and 35, were arrested after the attack that left 11 people hospitalized. One victim remains in a life-threatening condition – a member of train staff whom police say saved lives with his “heroic” actions. US Treasury Secretary likens Canadian tariff ad to 'election interference' US Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent has likened the Canadian province of Ontario's television advertisement criticizing Donald Trump's tariffs to 'election interference (選舉干涉)'. He also said that the US president's threat of 10% additional tariffs on Canada hasn't taken effect yet. Ira Spitzer has more from Washington. Italy Revives Temp Bridge to San Michele Venice has revived a tradition of building a temporary bridge to San Michele island for All Souls' Day. The bridge allows Venetians to walk the quarter-mile lagoon crossing to pay respects to their dead. The practice, originally made of boats lashed (綁住) together, stopped in the 1950s. It was revived in 2019 with modern pontoon construction but was interrupted by the COVID-19 pandemic. The bridge opened Thursday for the Roman Catholic holiday. Only residents could use it through Sunday, and it opens to tourists on Monday. San Michele has been Venice's main burial ground since 1807. That was the I.C.R.T.

In this interview, Lena Sadovski talks about her current research into the community of New Christian merchants trading between Apulia in southern Italy, and Spalato, modern day Split, in Dalmatia in the 15th and 16th century.Lena explains who the New Christians were, and why they moved between Apulia and Spalato. She shows how, and why this route of international trade was so important for Spalato and their colonial over-lords, the Venetians, and the types of goods moving in both directions.  This trade also highlights the importance of family connections within and between the communities of New Christians in both Apulia and Spalato.   And despite the New Christians having converted from the Jewish faith to Christianity several centuries earlier, Lena shows that the memory of their religious alterity could be weaponized by their opponents in moments of conflicts, underlining the persistence of Jewish ‘otherness' despite decades of successful integration into the Dalmatian society.Photo credit - Državni Arhiv u Zadru, 16: 59/66.7-IV, fol. 188r.This podcast is part of a series of interviews covering central Europe in the medieval period for MECERN and CEU Department of Historical Studies.

When the directors of Pulp Fiction and Desperado joined forces in 1996, nobody expected the chaos that followed. From Dusk Till Dawn is part crime thriller, part vampire splatterfest, and entirely unforgettable. This week, the Born to Watch crew sinks their teeth into the film that turned George Clooney from TV doctor to Hollywood icon.Whitey, Damo and Gow hit the road to El Rey, cocked, loaded, and possibly armed with a "dick gun." The boys dive straight into the movie's outrageous tonal shift: one moment it's a gritty outlaw chase, the next it's a full-blown blood-soaked vampire brawl. Half road movie, half horror comedy, From Dusk Till Dawn remains one of cinema's wildest left-turns – and the lads can't get enough of it.They reminisce about seeing it for the first time, back when nobody knew the twist. Gow remembers sitting in a dark cinema thinking it was just a stylish Tarantino heist until all hell literally broke loose. Damo recalls wearing out the VHS tape twice in a row, and Whitey laughs about taking five unsuspecting mates to see it just to watch their jaws drop. This is movie memory at its finest: the mid-'90s, Empire magazines, no spoilers, no internet, just word-of-mouth madness.The conversation slides quickly from Clooney's charisma to Quentin Tarantino's unnerving performance as Richie Gecko, possibly his best acting turn. Damo describes him as “quiet, creepy and dangerous,” while Gow compares his brotherly chemistry with Clooney to "a bomb about to go off." The trio agree Clooney oozes movie-star presence, Harvey Keitel grounds the chaos, and Juliette Lewis somehow still looks 23 for the next 20 years.And then there's Salma Hayek. The fellas do not hold back on the famous Titty Twister dance scene, the snake, the stumble, the hips, and Tarantino's now-infamous foot fetish. Whitey confesses it's "maybe the sexiest dance in movie history," while Damo says it's proof every song has an inner stripper. The music, the lighting, the moment – pure '90s cinematic magic.Between the beer, blood, and banter, the boys celebrate everything that makes From Dusk Till Dawn such gleeful trash. They quote the immortal "Mexican or domestic?" gag, debate the "ugly snorbs" among the vampire horde, and burst into laughter, recalling Clooney's moral compass, the bad guy with the good heart. There's genuine affection for how the film refuses to play by any rules.In Film School for F-Wits, Whitey goes full academic, calling the film the "ultimate tonal shift" and challenging the others to name a movie that turns harder or faster. Damo nominates a few classics, Gow brings his rugby grand-final energy, and the chat devolves into biscuits, Monte Carlos and Venetians, proof that even when the vampires attack, Born to Watch stays on brand.From the "popcorn popping in the servo" opening to Cheech Marin's triple role and the legendary Titty Twister monologue, the episode is wall-to-wall chaos, nostalgia and laughs. By the time the guys hit The Good, the Bad and the Ugly, it's clear this flick isn't high art, but it's pure fun. A 7.2 on IMDb? The crew say it's worth every drop of blood and beer.So grab a cold one, reload your dick gun, and join Whitey, Damo and Gow as they revisit From Dusk Till Dawn, the movie that proved you never know what's lurking inside the bar until the sun goes down.#BornToWatch #FromDuskTillDawn #GeorgeClooney #QuentinTarantino #RobertRodriguez #SalmaHayek #90sMovies #MoviePodcast #FilmNerds #MovieNight

The espionage TV series, Homeland, brought David Harewood international fame but he is also known as the first Black actor to play Othello at the UK's National Theatre when he was in his early 30s. Now, aged almost 60, he is reprising the role of the Moor in Shakespeare's tragedy. The character of Othello is a skillful General, and the only person of colour in the Venetian army. He and Desdemona, the daughter of a rich and prominent citizen, fall in love and marry, against her father's wishes. This autumn's production at the Haymarket Theatre in London's West End is directed by Tom Morris, who co-created War Horse, which has been seen by more than eight million people around the world. Caitlin Fitzgerald stars as Desdemona and Toby Jones as Iago, with music by P J Harvey. Julian May follows David Harewood, Tom Morris and the cast from the beginning of rehearsal to the opening night as they work together to bring to light the dark themes of power, rage and desire in Shakespeare's great play of duplicity, jealousy and deadly masculinity.

golden leaves danced along the narrow alleys, and the wind carried the scent of roasted coffee.It: In un angolo tranquillo, c'era un piccolo caffè veneziano, dove le luci calde illuminavano le tazze fumanti e i volti pensierosi dei suoi clienti.En: In a quiet corner, there was a small Venetian café where warm lights illuminated steaming cups and the thoughtful faces of its patrons.It: Luca sedeva accanto alla finestra, osservando nostalgico il mondo all'esterno.En: Luca sat by the window, nostalgically observing the world outside.It: Era tornato a casa dopo molti anni di viaggi e avventure lontane.En: He had returned home after many years of travels and distant adventures.It: Sentiva il bisogno di ritrovare una parte di sé, qualcosa che aveva lasciato indietro: i suoi amici d'infanzia, Gianna e Riccardo.En: He felt the need to rediscover a part of himself, something he had left behind: his childhood friends, Gianna and Riccardo.It: Gianna arrivò per prima, con il solito passo deciso e l'aria di chi ha mille cose in mente.En: Gianna arrived first, with her usual determined step and the look of someone who has a thousand things on their mind.It: Il suo sorriso si fece largo sotto la sciarpa di lana.En: Her smile spread wide beneath her woolen scarf.It: "Luca!En: "Luca!It: Quanto tempo!"En: It's been so long!"It: esclamò, stringendolo forte.En: she exclaimed, hugging him tightly.It: "Raccontami tutto!"En: "Tell me everything!"It: Poco dopo, anche Riccardo fece il suo ingresso rumoroso, con una battuta pronta e il solito carisma che riempiva la stanza.En: Shortly after, Riccardo made his noisy entrance, with a ready joke and the usual charisma that filled the room.It: "Ecco il nostro artista!En: "Here's our artist!It: Scommetto che stai già cercando di dipingere Venezia nella tua mente," disse con una risata.En: I bet you're already trying to paint Venezia in your mind," he said with a laugh.It: Si sedettero e ordinavano caffè e pasticcini.En: They sat down and ordered coffee and pastries.It: Mentre parlavano, Luca sentì un velo di malinconia.En: As they talked, Luca felt a tinge of melancholy.It: I suoi amici erano cambiati.En: His friends had changed.It: Gianna sembrava più ansiosa e sempre in cerca di stabilità.En: Gianna seemed more anxious and always searching for stability.It: Riccardo, con le sue battute, mascherava un'insicurezza che Luca non aveva mai notato prima.En: Riccardo, with his jokes, masked an insecurity that Luca had never noticed before.It: Dopo un po', Gianna chiese: "Allora, Luca, com'è stato vivere lontano?En: After a while, Gianna asked, "So, Luca, how was it living far away?It: Stavi bene?"En: Were you doing well?"It: Luca esitò.En: Luca hesitated.It: Non era sicuro di voler aprirsi.En: He wasn't sure he wanted to open up.It: Ma, guardando i volti familiari dei suoi amici, si rese conto che era pronto.En: But, looking at the familiar faces of his friends, he realized he was ready.It: "È stato... un viaggio.En: "It was... a journey.It: Un viaggio alla ricerca di me stesso.En: A journey in search of myself.It: Ma a volte ho sentito di perdere chi ero davvero."En: But at times, I felt like I was losing who I really was."It: Riccardo appoggiò una mano sulla spalla di Luca.En: Riccardo placed a hand on Luca's shoulder.It: "E chi sei diventato, amico mio?"En: "And who have you become, my friend?"It: "Non lo so," rispose Luca con sincerità.En: "I don't know," Luca replied sincerely.It: "Ma so che voglio ritrovare il mio posto qui, tra voi."En: "But I know I want to find my place here, among you."It: Ci fu un momento di silenzio carico di emozione.En: There was a moment of emotion-laden silence.It: Poi, Gianna parlò con dolcezza: "Siamo tutti cambiati, Luca.En: Then, Gianna spoke gently: "We've all changed, Luca.It: A volte rincorro troppo i miei sogni e mi perdo.En: Sometimes I chase my dreams too much and get lost.It: Ma tu fai parte di questo, e noi siamo qui."En: But you're part of this, and we're here."It: Riccardo annuì.En: Riccardo nodded.It: "Sì, parla di più con noi.En: "Yes, talk more with us.It: Siamo tuoi amici."En: We're your friends."It: In quel momento, Luca sentì una serenità nuova, come un antico ponte di Venezia che finalmente si ricostruiva.En: In that moment, Luca felt a new serenity, like an ancient bridge in Venezia finally being rebuilt.It: Avevano tutti i loro conflitti, le loro paure, ma ora l'amicizia sembrava più forte che mai.En: They all had their conflicts, their fears, but now friendship seemed stronger than ever.It: Alla fine, mentre il sole calava dolcemente sul canale, i tre amici si alzarono e uscirono insieme.En: In the end, as the sun softly set over the canal, the three friends stood up and left together.It: Luca capì che il cambiamento era inevitabile, ma che non significava perdere la propria essenza.En: Luca understood that change was inevitable, but that it didn't mean losing one's essence.It: Aveva ritrovato la sua strada a casa, nei sorrisi e nelle parole dei suoi amici.En: He had found his way home, in the smiles and words of his friends.It: E, per la prima volta dopo molto tempo, sentì di appartenere a qualcosa di speciale.En: And, for the first time in a long time, he felt he belonged to something special.

Send us a text by clicking this link!A calendar date can feel like a footnote—until you realize it's a battle cry. October 7 isn't just ink on the liturgical page; it's the Feast of Our Lady of the Rosary, born from the battle of Lepanto, when a divided Europe found the courage to row into the wind. We sat down with historian and translator Ryan Grant to unpack how a six-year Dominican papacy, a “nobody” commander, and a sea full of galleys redirected history—and why the story still reads like a map for our moment.We start with Pope Pius V: a reformer forged by Trent who promulgated the Roman Missal, backed real clerical renewal with St Charles Borromeo, and refused to flatter power. Against a backdrop of French gamesmanship, Protestant pressure, and Spain's global overreach, he formed the Holy League and handed command to Don John of Austria, an illegitimate son with legitimate nerve. Ryan breaks down the fight the way it actually happened: tercios turning decks into battlefields, matchlocks hissing through smoke, Venetian galleasses doing less than legend says, and Ali Pasha betting the center at the wrong time. When El Sultana fell and the standard changed hands, morale cracked and the tide turned.But does Lepanto “matter” if the Ottomans rebuilt a fleet in six months? We tackle the revisionism head-on. Strategy and psychology shifted: no amphibious assault on Italy, no march on Rome, a Mediterranean suddenly contested. Bells rang in hostile lands, and the Church enshrined the memory as Our Lady of Victory—later Our Lady of the Rosary—cementing a devotion that would shape lay prayer for centuries. We explore the rosary's Dominican roots without forcing a neat origin story and get practical about devotion: pray on the commute, love Mary first, learn a saint well enough to ask for help often.Most of all, we take the human lesson home. Don John didn't wait for the perfect hierarchy; he went. If you're looking for permission to begin—prayer, study, service, leadership—consider this your signal. Learn the feast. Know the history. Pick up your beads and move. If this conversation gives you something to chew on, follow the show, share it with a friend, and leave a review so more people can find thoughtful, faith-filled history that speaks to right now.Support the showTake advantage of Recusant Cellar's "Christ the King" sale by heading over to https://recusantcellars.com/ and using code "REXCAELORUM" for 20% off at checkout!********************************************************Please subscribe! https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCKsxnv80ByFV4OGvt_kImjQ?sub_confirmation=1https://www.avoidingbabylon.comMerchandise: https://avoiding-babylon-shop.fourthwall.comLocals Community: https://avoidingbabylon.locals.comFull Premium/Locals Shows on Audio Podcast: https://www.buzzsprout.com/1987412/subscribeRSS Feed for Podcast Apps: https://feeds.buzzsprout.com/1987412.rssRumble: https://rumble.com/c/AvoidingBabylon

Elizabeth I may have been one of the most powerful rulers in history, but behind her glittering portraits was a deadly secret. To maintain her iconic "Mask of Youth," she relied on toxic cosmetics that slowly poisoned her body. In this episode, I peel back the layers of her beauty routine, explore how her image became a weapon of power, and reveal the impossible double standards women have always faced. From court gossip to ambassadorial shade, discover how beauty, politics, and poison shaped the Virgin Queen. Are. You. Ready?****************Sources & References:Bertolet, Anna Riehl.

Episode No. 723 features curator Michelle White and artist Nanette Carter. White is the curator of "Robert Rauschenberg: Fabric Works of the 1970s" at The Menil Collection, Houston. The exhibition considers Rauschenberg's conceptual, expressive use of fabric as a medium through a focus on three groups of works from the 1970s: Venetians (1972-73), Jammers (1975-76), and Hoarfrosts (1974-76). It is on view through March 1, 2026. "Fabric" is accompanied by an excellent catalogue published by the Menil. Amazon and Bookshop offer it for $60-65. The Wexner Center for the Arts at The Ohio State University is presenting "Nanette Carter: Afro Sentinels" through January 11, 2026. The exhibition features works Carter has made over the last decade, including work from her Cantilevered, Destabilizing, and Shifting Perspectives series, plus new sculptural works commissioned by the Wexner. It was curated by Rebecca Lowery. Carter's abstract collages, produced in Mylar, often engage with contemporary social issues. The Montclair Art Museum presented a retrospective of Carter's career last year. As discussed on the program: Carter's 2021 oral history for the Archives of American Art.

At the Glass Art Society's (GAS) 2025 conference, Trailblazing New Traditions, held in May in Arlington and Fort Worth, Texas, Zachary Layhew and Hoseok Youn presented a unique collaborative glassblowing demonstration where Youn's Venetian fantasy vessels intersected with the baroque, cubist influences of Layhew's practice. The artists shared their unique approaches to traditional techniques and designs, both makers transforming the context of tradition through the lens of their original personalities. The result was a figurative sculpture constructed from historical goblets and decorative stemware, combined with the line patterns of cane. Goblets and cane are common and popular in the glass tradition, but this demonstration showed the community a creative and innovative way to elevate those methods to new frontiers while paying respect to their origins. Layhew started his glass career at the age of 14 by taking an introductory intensive at the Pittsburgh Glass Center (PGC) called Teen Bootcamp. He quickly fell in love with the material and the community surrounding it. Through the years, the artist has focused on his technical skills in glass and developing his personal voice through sculpture. His work revolves around a combination of glassblowing, cold working, and then further reheating, manipulating, and assembling the pieces.  Working as an artist and instructor at PGC, Layhew assists other Pittsburgh artists in his spare time. He will teach Lines, Rings, and Patterned Things at Foci, the Minnesota Center for Glass Arts, from November 12 through 16. In December, the artist has a residency at Keystone College, Factoryville, Pennsylvania, and through the rest of 2025 and 2026, he will teach eight-week classes at PGC. Additionally, Layhew creates production work that is sold online and in person.  A South Korean glass artist specializing in glassblowing, Youn holds a BFA degree in glass and ceramics from Namseoul University, Cheon Ahn, Korea, and earned an MFA in glass from Southern Illinois University Carbondale, Illinois. He has taught at Bowling Green State University as an adjunct professor, was a studio artist at Toledo Museum of Art and a studio lead at Belger Arts in Kansas City, Missouri.  Youn's artistic practice focuses on Venetian traditional glass, figurative sculptures, and photography. He is inspired by heroes and villains based on pop culture and toys. His work reflects the image of his ideal successful self, combining crystal clear glass, elaborate vessel forms, intricate stemware, and abundant details. In 2026, he will teach a workshop at Pilchuck Glass School, session 7.

Coney Island still has the classic amusements you'd expect today like roller coasters, water slides, and carnival games. But over a century ago, it looked more like a proto–Disney World, with multiple theme parks, colossal buildings, and wildly imaginative rides. The most extravagant park along the boardwalk was Dreamland. At Dreamland, you could take a trip to Hell, experience the end of the world, ride through fake Venetian canals, or visit a city built to scale for little people. I talk with historian and novelist Kevin Baker about why Dreamland remains so intriguing and deeply problematic. We also hear voice actor Lofty Fulton read a passage from Kevin's novel “Dreamland.” Plus, I talk with visual artist Zoe Beloff. She was fascinated that Sigmund Freud visited Dreamland in 1909. So she invented an alternative history where Freud's disciples in Brooklyn tried to rebuild the park with overtly Freudian rides and exhibits.
