Continuăm seria de emisiuni dedicate diplomației culturale și rolului Institutului Cultural Român. Vă propunem o dezbatere despre modelele europene de cooperare culturală și despre felul în care Germania și-a construit o rețea globală de institute culturale. Invitatul lui Matei Martin este Joachim Umlauf, fost director al Institutului Goethe din București, diplomat cultural de carieră. Printre altele, Joachim Umlauf predă la masterul de diplomație culturală al Facultății de Științe Politice, Universitatea din București. Cum este definit rolul Goethe-Institutului în politica culturală și externă a Germaniei?Joachim Umlauf: „Goethe-Institut este o instituție cu un caracter foarte specific, tipic germană. Într-o anumită situație istorică de după cel de-Al Doilea Război Mondial, Germania de Vest a creat sau a susținut instituții care să reprezinte Germania în străinătate. Elementul esențial aici – și cred că e ușor de înțeles de ce – este că s-au fondat sau sprijinit instituții care să fie la o anumită distanță de stat. După război, se dorea susținerea unor instituții care să nu fie identificate direct cu statul german, pentru că statul se discreditase complet prin național-socialism.De aceea au fost create instituții precum Goethe-Institut, reînființat, regîndit pe altă structură în 1951, sau Fundația Alexander von Humboldt, ori Serviciul German pentru Schimburi Academice (DAAD) – toate cu personalitate juridică, cu o anumită autonomie de conținut și, prin aceasta, cu o distanță față de stat. Este ceva tipic german. Trebuie ținut cont, pe lîngă aspectul legat de discreditarea Germaniei în lume și de încercarea de a fi reintegrată între națiunile civilizate, că Germania a avut mereu un caracter federal și un model descentralizat. Și asta a jucat un rol important.”Care este relația concretă dintre Goethe-Institut și Ministerul Federal de Externe?Joachim Umlauf: „Relația este clară: avem autonomie în ceea ce privește conținutul, dar depindem financiar de minister. Institutul primește fonduri, pe de o parte, de la Ministerul de Externe și, pe de altă parte, are propriile venituri obținute din cursuri și examene de limbă. Considerabile, dar insuficiente. Dar autonomia de conținut merge mînă în mînă cu dependența financiară.Există un așa-numit „contract-cadru” care stabilește regulile relației dintre Ministerul de Externe și Goethe-Institut. E un document general, stabil și, de regulă, nu este modificat. În plus, există obiective strategice, acorduri cu privire la obiective care se reînnoiesc, de obicei, o dată la patru ani și care sînt negociate cu Ministerul. Așa funcționează sistemul, în linii mari.”Apasă PLAY pentru a asculta interviul integral!O emisiune de Adela Greceanu și Matei MartinUn produs Radio România Cultural

SummaryIn this episode of The Chasing Health Podcast, Chase and Chris dive into another Coaches' Roundtable Q&A and start things off with a deep conversation about purpose, self-reflection, and living as the person you were meant to be. They tackle several listener-submitted questions about things like active zone minutes on Fitbits, book recommendations for building consistency, how important fiber really is, if men over 40 should wear weighted vests, and the controversial “Health at Every Size” movement. You'll walk away with new insights and mindset shifts that'll help you stay consistent and challenge your current beliefs.Chapters(00:00) Are You Chasing the Person You Were Meant to Be?(04:42) Active Zone Minutes vs. Steps – Which One Matters More?(09:19) Books That Changed Our Approach to Health & Consistency(15:16) How Important is Fiber Really?(18:35) Should Men Over 40 Use a Weighted Vest?(20:46) Health at Every Size – The Full ConversationSUBMIT YOUR QUESTIONS to be answered on the show: https://forms.gle/B6bpTBDYnDcbUkeD7How to Connect with Us:Chase's Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/changing_chase/Chris' Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/conquer_fitness2021/Facebook Group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/665770984678334/Interested in 1:1 Coaching: https://conquerfitnessandnutrition.com/1on1-coachingJoin The Fit Fam Collective: https://conquerfitnessandnutrition.com/fit-fam-collective

They Didn't Start with AI. They Started with People. That might sound simple—but in today's rush to automate, scale, and "transform," it's anything but. Cambridge Investment Research, Inc. took a different path. No pink slips. No blown-up workflows. No hollow promises about innovation. Just a clear goal: reduce the time it takes to open an account from 20 minutes to seconds—without losing the quality, trust, or people that made the process work in the first place. In this episode of Money Matters, I sit down with:

 Omul de afaceri Fănel Bogos care incerca sa evite sanctiuni pentru una din fermele sale de pui, a fost retinut, alaturi de alte 3 persoane pentru santaj si cumparare de influenta. La sfarsitul lunii septembrie, acesta a ajuns in biroului lui Bolojan de la guvern, introdus de liderul PNL Vaslui. Trezorierul partidului a invocat chestiuni politice ce trebuiau discutate. Cat de normal e ca oameni politici sa vina in biroul primului ministru cu afaceristi care ar dori sa le fie rezolvate problemele economice, incercam sa ne lamurim in aceasta seara.    Nicușor Dan: ”Reînarmarea nu este o alegere, este o necesitate” Afirmația a fost făcută de șeful statului, care a participat , alături de secretarul general al NATO, la București, la summitul ”NATO-Industry Forum”, eveniment care reuneşte peste 800 de participanţi din 26 state aliate şi partenere, precum şi peste 300 de companii din industria de apărare. "Ameninţarea rusă nu se încheie odată cu terminarea războiului. Rusia va deveni o forţă de destabilizare în Europa şi în lume. Nu putem fi naivi, trebuie să fim pregătiţi", a punctat si Mark Rutte.

Et ægte juvelkup i 2025?! "Popsmart" med Chris Pedersen kaster sig over forbrydelsens fascination. Fra pulp-bøger om Jack the Ripper til TikTok-memes om Louvre-røveriet har der altid været en uhellig alliance mellem kriminalitet og popkultur. Vært: Morten Runge Medvirkende: Carl Plum: Billedkunstner og forfatter Josefine Bøgh Lassen: Grafisk designer Frederik Strand: Museumsleder for Politimuseet i København Bo Tao Michaëlis: Litteraturanmelder på Politiken Jakob Engel-Schmidt: Kulturminister (M) Producer: David Jacobsen Turner Redaktør: Lasse Lauridsen

If you're anything like me, the moment you saw the World's most famous art gallery had been robbed of the French Crown Jewels... one thing came to mind. It's silly really, because at the end of the day it's a crime. A serious crime. Nevertheless, it's hard to totally ignore the audacity and romance of it all. What's the difference between a robbery and a heist? Whatever it is that distinguishes those words... there is something seductive. We were told the thieves were organised, efficient, and used specialist equipment. I imagined a Tom Cruise-like figure firing a grappling hook out of a special gun, repelling from the ceiling and acrobatically navigating a room of invisible lasers, any of which if broken, would immediately trigger an alarm and a carbon dioxide pump that would starve the room of oxygen and suffocate the thieves where they stood. Alas, as more detail has emerged over the last two weeks, it's become clear the Louvre Heist was less Mission Impossible and more Mission-to-Mitre-10. The specialist equipment the thieves used? It was a plain old over-the-counter angle grinder like the second-hand Makita I have in my tools cupboard at home. I'd never thought about it before, but the problem with publicly displaying crown jewels worth tens or hundreds of millions of dollars, is that security in the display cases can only go so far. As well as being hard to access for potential thieves, in the event of a fire, the cases need to be openable in a few seconds. So they need to be super-secure. But also super-accessible. What could go wrong? What the thieves seemed to have worked out is that using an axe or a hammer was a bad idea. It would have potentially taken hundreds of blows to break through and get the goods. But the museum's own firefighting handbook lays out the best course of action for quickly getting into the Louvre's secure display cases: you don't smash, you cut. Although they've made a series of arrests, lessons abound for the French authorities. It's shocking they had such poor security camera coverage around the museum. But as more and more detail comes to light, I think there's a valuable lesson for all of us: The disguises. The thieves weren't in military fatigues. They weren't dressed in all black. They weren't wearing crazy masks like the ones in MoneyHeist. They were wearing the universal uniform of authority: high-vis vests. The great irony of a garment designed to be seen is that it has become so ubiquitous, we don't see it, even when it's being worn by thieves, in broad daylight, stealing some of the most valuable jewellery in the World. The Paris Police, who has street cameras trained on the area where the thieves parked their truck, sheepishly admitted this week that no one paid any attention to the men on the video feed. In their hi-vis vests, they looked like a regular construction crew, said a Police spokesperson. And Paris has heaps of construction. It looks increasingly likely the men will not get away with their theft. And though clearly they were organised, this was hardly the perfect crime. They dropped some of the jewels and left heaps of evidence at the scene. They tried to burn the truck but the gas tank wouldn't catch. The big question now is whether or not the jewels are still intact. Still, they have proved something. For the biggest heist at the World's most-famous museum in more than a hundred years, the biggest heist since the Mona Lisa was pinched way back in 1911, you only need three things: A charged battery on your angle grinder. An air of confidence and purpose. And most importantly, a high-vis vest. LISTEN ABOVESee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

"Simply the Vest" is a dry cleaning service with a basement full of supplies, tools, clothing, and… water. After a heavy rain, the owners discovered that their sump pump had failed, causing water to back up into the basement, resulting in damage to their property. Under their BP 00 03 form, coverage for this cause is firmly excluded. However, they paid for a supplemental endorsement with some interesting technicalities… Notable Timestamps [ 02:43 ] - When assessing coverage, always start with the underlying policy form before reviewing any endorsements, ensuring clarity on the initial coverage. [ 05:32 ] - Supplemental coverages given to an insured typically identify specific needs that they have in the transaction and provide clear limits for each supplemental coverage provided. [ 08:11 ] - Endorsements can provide additional coverage for water-related claims like backup and overflow or mold, which are generally types of losses that would otherwise be excluded. [ 11:18 ] - Determining coverage requires looking at the exact policy language, fitting it to the specific scenario, and matching facts to the policy language. [ 13:45 ] - Sump pump issues often involve power outages (necessitating battery backup) or mechanical breakdown, but each claim has to be assessed based on its individual merits. [ 15:23 ] - An endorsement providing additional water backup coverage may also modify or replace the existing water damage exclusion found in the underlying BP policy. [ 17:49 ] - If a loss isn't excluded under the underlying policy, the supplemental coverage-- which could be subject to a lower limit-- would not be needed. [ 16:18 ] - Brennan provides a brief conclusion.

Na primeira parte, mergulhamos no viés religioso, discutindo se o instinto de viver em grupo é um impulso natural ou uma orientação divina. Será que precisamos de Deus para explicar o instinto social? E por que o Espiritismo, ao contrário de tradições que valorizam o isolamento, enxerga na convivência o caminho do progresso espiritual? Na segunda parte, abordamos o viés social: o acesso ao necessário é uma responsabilidade individual ou um dever coletivo? O que o Espiritismo diz sobre o egoísmo, o trabalho e o bem-estar material? E até que ponto o desejo de conforto é natural — ou uma armadilha dos excessos humanos? _________ https://super.abril.com.br/ciencia/como-tomar-decisoes-instinto/  DAWKINS, Richard. O gene egoísta.

Hacer click aquí para enviar sus comentarios a este cuento.Juan David Betancur Fernandezelnarradororal@gmail.comHabía una vez, en un rincón olvidado un universo en el que todos los elementos tenían uso de la razón y  donde cada uno de los  conceptos posibles caminaban como seres vivos. Uno de estos seres era la oscuridad que pese a haber reinado en silencio por eones sentía que su poder sobre el universo se iba desvaneciendo. La oscuridad había envuelto al universo  con un manto que pese a ser absoluto podía ser eliminado si algo la confrontaba. Y Eso sucedió en algún momento que nadie esperaba. En las fronteras de aquel universo oscuro apareció unn pequeño fulgor que nadie sabía de donde venia pero era claro que se iba expandiendo con cada segundo que pasaba. Su paso era arrogante y conquistador y con ella nuevos seres iban apareciendo. Rapidamente la luz llego hasta los más remotos confines de aquel universo formando astros que la transmitían a todos los otros mudos que no la tenían anteriormente. Era pues un momento apoteósico para el universo ya que cada planeta teria ya la visita de la luz cada día en forma de amaneceres y así los habitantes de aquellos mundos podían tambier crearla con chispas de fuego. La Oscuridad, herida en su orgullo, decidió que ya era suficiente, no podría seguier soportando que aquellos mundos que antes eran suyos se pasaran de bando y se fueran aunque fuera temporalmente con la luz. Se decidio hacer lo que cualquier desesperado hace. .—¡Le pondré un pleito! —exclamó con voz grave, que resonó como eco en una caverna vacía. Y todos los seres viviente comenzaron a analizar las implicaciones que esto tendría s su vida y deseosos esperaron el resultado de aquel juicio.Así fue como se fijó una fecha para el juicio cósmico. El Gran Tribunal de los Elementos se preparó para recibir a los dos rivales.  La sala era majestuosa, construida en mármol de tiempo y columnas de equilibrio. En el centro, el Juez, una figura de rostro cambiante, esperaba con su mazo de sabiduría y verdad.La Luz llegó temprano, como siempre como llegaba cada mañana cuando la oscuridad le daba el tiempo para que se dedicara a iluminar cada mundo.  Su presencia iluminó cada rincón de la sala, haciendo brillar los bellos vitrales de aquel palacio de justicia y reflejándose en los rostros de los asistentes. Vestía un traje de rayos dorados y caminaba con paso firme, dejando tras de sí un rastro de claridad.Los abogados de ambas partes tomaron sus lugares. El de la Luz era un sabio anciano con ojos como estrellas; el de la Oscuridad, una figura encapuchada que parecía absorber el color del aire ya que estaba todo vestido de negro de pies a cabeza y tenía un tocado tan poderoso que todos sentían la necesidad de arrodillarse frente a el.  El juez celestial  revisó los documentos, ajustó su toga de neutralidad y esperó.Pasaron los minutos. Luego las horas. La Oscuridad no llegaba.Los murmullos crecían entre los asistentes: ¿Dónde estaba? ¿Se habría arrepentido? ¿Temía perder?Finalmente, el juez, con voz solemne, se levantó:—La parte demandante no se ha presentado. Por lo tanto, fallo a favor de la Luz.Hubo aplausos, destellos, y una sensación de alivio. Pero también una pregunta flotaba en el aire como humo: ¿Por qué no vino la Oscuridad?Un mensajero fue enviado a buscarla. La encontró justo fuera de la sala, sentada plácidamente en  en el umbral. No era miedo lo que la detenía, sino certeza. Sabía que si cruzaba esa puerta, si se atrevía a entrar en el dominio de la Luz, sería disipada al instante.

OVERVIEWAlmost anywhere you go these days, you're likely to see someone walking, running, or climbing stairs wearing a weighted vest. Popularized by Crossfit boxes, mixed martial arts gyms, and boot camp-style exercise programs, “rucking” is a new name for the old concept of an “overloaded training intervention”. The question we get is whether training with a weighted vest (off the bike) will improve cycling performance. CTS Pro Coach Sarah Scozzaro, one of our top strength and conditioning coaches, breaks down the details of whether weighted training works for cyclists. Topics Covered In This Episode:Weighted Vests: Are they effective for:Increase Core Strength?Improve Strength-Endurance?Increase Bone Density?Improve VO2 Max?Increase Motivation?History of overloaded training interventions in cyclingSeparating strength from endurance trainingHow to use weighted vests safely How much weight to carryResourcesShould Runners Train with Weighted Vests? - CTSGravel Racing Gear Guide for Cyclists - CTSWeighted Vests Are Now A Fitness Trend.

You've probably seen the trend—women walking around in weighted vests, swearing it's their secret weapon for fat loss and fitness. But is it actually helping… or quietly making things worse? In this episode, I'm breaking down why I personally skip the vest—and why it might not be the best move for your perimenopausal body either. If you're working hard to balance hormones, lower stress, and feel good in your body again, this is a must-listen.

Feeling overwhelmed by all the midlife fitness trends bombarding your social feeds? You're not alone. From weighted vests to protein obsession to step-counting fixations, the wellness world has become a maze of contradictory advice that leaves many women feeling like they're failing—even when they're doing their best.In this revealing episode, I dive deep into the most pervasive fitness trends dominating the menopause conversation and separate evidence-based practices from marketing hype. Did you know the sacred 10,000 steps rule originated from a 1960s Japanese pedometer advertisement—not scientific research? Or that studies on weighted vests for bone health are surprisingly underwhelming compared to the mountain of evidence supporting simple strength training?As a culinary nutritionist specializing in women's health, I break down exactly what your changing body truly needs: progressive strength training to combat accelerated muscle and bone loss, strategic protein intake (achievable without expensive supplements), and consistent, enjoyable movement without obsessing over arbitrary metrics. You'll discover how to hit 100 grams of protein using only whole foods, why lifting weights matters more than step counts for long-term independence, and which trendy practices you can confidently leave behind.The truth is refreshingly simple: midlife wellness isn't about doing everything—it's about doing the things that actually work. Stop chasing every trending protocol and start focusing on the foundational habits that deliver real results for your health, strength, and longevity. Share this episode with a friend who's drowning in wellness advice and remember: you don't need to do it all to thrive in midlife.I would love to hear from you! What did you think of the episode?

Weighted vests can be useful, but let's be honest about the benefits.Topics discussed:(00:06) - Who's excited about a weighted vest? (00:48) - Why is Lindsay not jumping on getting a weighted vest? (02:46) - Does it help with bone density? (03:28) - Does it build more muscle and strength? (05:54) - Does it burn more body fat? (13:56) - The nuance of the studies being used to justify weighted vests (21:08) - I love food! (26:43) - I appreciate your words of encouragement Walking alone is not a strong enough stimulus for muscle or bone.Inactive postmenopausal women who walked with or without a vest for 18 months had no significant bone density changes (PMID: 22338922). Full breakdown belowEven wearing a vest for 8 hours/day (PMID: 40540267) or 10 hours/day (PMID: 30095153) showed minimal skeletal benefit.The muscle and bone gains you see in the research?They're mostly in untrained individuals doing loaded exercises like squats, lunges, and jumps with the vest (PMID: 10995045, 9467434, 17724395).In these cases, the vest is just a hands-free way to add weight — not magic. As people progress, they'll need more load than a vest alone can provide.And for fat loss?Calorie burn from vest-walking is only ~10–15% higher than without it. That's 30–50 kcal for an hour walk — about a single untracked bite of food.Long-term fat loss comes from managing intake, not chasing small increases in burn. Your diet is the real game changer.If you lift weights regularly, walk, and are mindful about food, a weighted vest probably isn't a “must-have” for you. it's most effective in the right context.Study Overview: Walking With vs. Without a Weighted Vest  PMID: 22338922Authors & Journal: Tantiwiboonchai N., Kritpet T., Yuktanandana P. in Journal of the Medical Association of Thailand, 2011 (EurekaMag).Participants: 48 working women aged 30–60, randomly split into two groups: one walking with a weighted vest, the other walking without, on a treadmill 3×/week for 12 weeks (EurekaMag).Protocol: Vest group started walking without it for the first 2 weeks, then began adding 2% of body weight weekly until reaching 8% by week 6 (EurekaMag).FindingsBone Markers: Both groups showed large decreases in bone resorption (β-CrossLaps)—~19.1% for the vest group vs. ~21.8% for the non-vest group—no significant difference between them (EurekaMag).Physical Fitness: Improvements in leg and arm strength, endurance, and VO₂ max were seen in both groups—again, no significant differences between vest vs. non-vest walkers (EurekaMag).Bottom Line—What This MeansWalking, with or without a weighted vest, helped with fitness and reduced bone resorption—but wearing the vest didn't offer any extra benefit. So if you're thinking the vest is a cheat code for stronger bones or muscles… this study says otherwise.
