Was Norman Bel Geddes a brilliant visionary who shaped modern America, or just a master showman who sold us a dystopian future wrapped in chrome and streamlined curves?In this episode of History's Greatest Idiots, we delve into the fascinating and troubling life of the man who promised us flying cars, designed the Interstate Highway System, and convinced an entire generation that the future would resemble a 1950s toaster.What You'll Discover:How a high school dropout became "the 20th century's Leonardo da Vinci"The tragic family suicide that shaped Bel Geddes' obsession with perfect futuresWhy he changed his name from Norman Geddes to the exotic "Norman Bel Geddes"The revolutionary theater lighting techniques he invented that we still use today.How his GM Futurama exhibit at the 1939 World's Fair attracted 27,500 visitors dailyThe dark connection between his streamlined designs and eugenics beliefsWhy his beautiful concept cars were never built (but Mussolini offered $200k for them)How he helped create America's car-dependent urban nightmareThe sophisticated peep shows he designed alongside cities of tomorrow.From Broadway to Highways: Norman Bel Geddes revolutionized everything from Metropolitan Opera lighting to Chrysler Airflow automobiles. His 1932 book "Horizons" popularized streamlining as a design philosophy, while his "Magic Motorways" inspired the Interstate Highway System that transformed America.But behind the gleaming vision of progress lurked troubling ideas about human "improvement" and a corporate-sponsored future that prioritized cars over communities.https://www.patreon.com/HistorysGreatestIdiotshttps://www.instagram.com/historysgreatestidiotsArtist: Sarah Cheyhttps://www.fiverr.com/sarahcheyAnimation: Daniel Wilsonhttps://www.instagram.com/wilson_the_wilson/Music: Andrew Wilsonhttps://www.instagram.com/andrews_electric_sheepWant to create live streams like this?

On April 15, 1452, a child was born, the illegitimate son of a peasant woman and a local notary in the village of Vinci, which was then part of the Republic of Florence. Given his illegitimate status, no one expected much of the young man, so he was apprenticed in the studio of a local artist. He would go on to become, not just one of the world's greatest artists, but one of the earliest engineers and proto-scientists of the Renaissance. He made such a lasting impact that his name has become known around the world over 500 years later.

C'est une héroïne dont on a longtemps ignoré le nom. Pas de fusil, pas de batailles spectaculaires… juste un carnet, un crayon, et une incroyable détermination. Son nom ? Rose Valland. Grâce à elle, des milliers d'œuvres d'art pillées par les nazis ont pu être sauvées.Le pillage naziPendant l'Occupation, les nazis ne se contentent pas de contrôler la France. Ils pillent ses richesses. Tableaux, sculptures, objets d'art : tout ce que possèdent les musées, les collections privées, et surtout celles des familles juives, est saisi. Ce butin considérable est centralisé au Musée du Jeu de Paume, à Paris, transformé en véritable entrepôt du vol organisé.C'est là que travaille Rose Valland, modeste attachée de conservation. Aux yeux des nazis, c'est une employée sans importance. Mais ils ignorent une chose : Rose comprend l'allemand. Et elle les écoute. Chaque jour, elle note les conversations, les numéros de wagons, les destinations des convois.Une espionne de l'artAvec patience et sang-froid, Rose Valland consigne tout dans ses carnets. Chaque détail compte : l'expédition de tel tableau de Renoir vers Munich, le départ d'un Cézanne pour Berlin, ou la présence de tel dignitaire nazi au Jeu de Paume. Elle risque sa vie à chaque instant. Si les Allemands découvraient qu'elle les espionne, ce serait la déportation, peut-être la mort. Mais Rose tient bon. Pendant quatre années, elle mène une résistance silencieuse, armée seulement de son érudition et de sa mémoire.Après la LibérationQuand Paris est libéré en 1944, ses notes deviennent une arme précieuse. Grâce à elles, les Monuments Men — ce corps spécial créé par les Alliés pour retrouver les œuvres d'art volées — savent où chercher. Des milliers de tableaux, parmi lesquels des chefs-d'œuvre de Léonard de Vinci, Monet, Manet ou Picasso, sont localisés, saisis dans les dépôts nazis et rapatriés en France.Sans ce travail acharné et clandestin, une grande partie de notre patrimoine aurait disparu, engloutie dans les collections privées ou perdue à jamais dans les ruines de la guerre.Une reconnaissance tardiveEt pourtant, Rose Valland reste longtemps dans l'ombre. Après la guerre, elle continue de servir les musées français avec la même modestie. Ce n'est qu'à la fin de sa vie que son rôle est reconnu à sa juste valeur. Elle reçoit la Légion d'honneur, la Médaille de la Résistance, et son nom devient symbole de courage discret.ConclusionRose Valland n'a pas combattu avec des armes, mais elle a lutté avec ce qu'elle avait de plus précieux : sa mémoire et son courage. Alors, la prochaine fois que vous admirerez un tableau impressionniste au musée, souvenez-vous de cette femme discrète qui, seule, a défié l'avidité nazie pour sauver une part essentielle de notre culture.

Robert Edward Grant discusses the concept of Metatron, a seraphim and the highest archangel, who was originally Enoch. He explains the significance of grantees, energetic knots between chakras, and the process of kundalini awakening. Robert shares his experiences with Sikh symbolism, particularly the elephant representing the hierophant stage in alchemy. He also delves into the history of Saint Germain, linking him to Metatron, and discusses the role of AI in emulating divine creation. Additionally, Robert touches on the financial system's reliance on hegemonic stability and the implications of global power shifts. Robert Edward Grant and Alex Ferrari discuss the impending economic collapse, predicting massive inflation and a dollar crash due to the U.S.'s $38 trillion debt. Robert suggests Bitcoin and gold as safe havens, though gold's impracticality limits its value. They explore the concept of currency value being subjective and influenced by market perception. Robert introduces theories linking historical figures like Leonardo da Vinci and Saint-Germain, suggesting da Vinci's survival and transformation into Saint-Germain. They also touch on the metaphysical, discussing the evolution of consciousness, the role of Ascended Masters, and the interconnectedness of time and space.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/next-level-soul-podcast-with-alex-ferrari--4858435/support.

In Visions of the Divine (Sophia Institute Press), Catholic evangelist, author, and a top Wall Street executive STEPHEN F. AUTH, reunites the art of the Eucharist with the Eucharistic liturgy itself. Much splendid art adorns and magnificently beautifies Churches throughout the globe, a phenomenathat came under great stress during the Reformation, and especially under JOHN CALVIN. "Calvin, especially, was very much opposed to [Church art]," explains AUTH, in this interview with JOHN AIDAN BYRNE. To order Visions of theDivine: https://www.sojolk8trk.com/99LK8N/29X...Other Books by STEVE AUTH: Pilgrimage to the Museum: https://www.sojolk8trk.com/99LK8N/PHW...Missionary of Wall Street: https://www.sojolk8trk.com/99LK8N/51G...Indeed, much of this early Church art was separated from the context of the Mass for which it was created many centuries ago and is relegated now to museums sprinkled around the world. Along with his co-authors Evelyn Auth andMsgr. Roger Landry, Steve leads the reader on a worldwide pilgrimage to some of the most spectacular and moving artistic masterpieces created over the millennia to help clergy and laity alike penetrate more deeply into the Eucharistic mystery. Journeying to museums and churches in nearly twenty cities across the United States and Europe, the authors will guide you through the liturgy of the Mass in ways you may never have experienced. Whether you attend church out of obligation, for the sense of community you find there, or for the Eucharistic presence itself, Visions of the Divine will help you make these experiences richer, more vibrant, and more fulfilling. And if you've never attended a Roman Catholic Mass and are curious about what happens there, Visions will give you an experience guaranteed to leave you thirsting for more. Narrated in the author's simple, emotive style, Visions of the Divine presents you with dozens of colorful images of thought-provoking art that will immerse you in each element of the Mass at a deeper and more profound level, including: How the simple act of making the Sign of the Cross, which the average Catholic does eight times during the liturgy, can make you cry Quieting your mind to listen more actively to the Word of God and to imagine yourself in the moment as the Word is proclaimed and the author guides you through some of the Scriptures' most iconic messages Imagining the Apostles' Creed as it was carved and painted into one of Europe's most colorful Catholic churches. Meditating on a lasting image of eternity while the collection basket is passed — a practice that will forever change how you think about this relatively prosaic element of the liturgy Reliving the sacrifice and triumph of Christ on Calvary during the Eucharistic prayers through some of the greatest artistic masterpieces ever created. Following the path of biblical figures, such as Mary Magdalene, the prodigal son, and St. Paul himself, to freely receive Christ's healing mercy, forgiveness, peace, and love at Mass Experiencing the sacrament of Holy Communion for what it truly is — communion with God Himself. How to re-enter the world following the Mass with visual images in your head that will make you a more effective evangelist From Rembrandt, El Greco, and Van Gogh to Michelangelo, da Vinci, and Raphael; from Velaquez, Picasso, and Dali to lesser-known greats, such as Pontormo, Masaccio and Drolling, the array of breathtaking art in Visions of the Divine will enlighten your path to communion with God. You will witness our Father's love for you and be encouraged to let yourself be loved by Him within the Eucharistic mystery.

The book is about the development of the notebook (i.e. a book you write in yourself) in European history, and it covers everything from the development of paper as a cheaper thing to write on than vellum, to wax tablets, to Italian accounting practices, to Leonardo da Vinci's famous notebooks, to Darwin, to the modern Moleskine and where it actually comes from. In our conversation we talk about the means, motive and opportunity that enabled Roland to write The Notebook, and the challenges of covering such an enormous topic: what had to be left out; and the power of holding a grudge. There's also great advice for anyone writing any sort of book about how to incorporate cause and effect into your storytelling. Readers need reasons and consequences to stay engaged. We talk about Roland's favourite genre of notebook, the zibaldone, which existed in medieval Florence as a way for people to write down all the bits of literature they liked, local songs, recipes, events – anything notable was written down in a hodgepodge paper version of a mixtape. To connect this to fencing, it is similar to one of our oldest treatises, Manuscript 3227a, also known as the Döbringer manuscript. This is basically a zibaldone, with a section in it on fighting with a longsword. But it also has sections in it on other things like fireworks and recipes. There's lots else to talk about, including our preferred brands of notebook, and our favourite paper. Find out more about The Notebook on Roland's website: https://roland-allen.com/
Nathan and Ryan take on one of the most infamous box office bombs of the early 90s: Hudson Hawk. Bruce Willis stars as a wisecracking cat burglar who times his heists to classic songs while getting wrapped up in a conspiracy involving Leonardo da Vinci's secret inventions. With cartoonish villains, tonal whiplash, and a soundtrack of absurdity, this oddball action-comedy has become a cult favorite for some and a headache for others. The hosts break down whether Hudson Hawk is an underrated gem or an overindulgent disaster.
What does it take to earn the nickname, ‘The Leonardo da Vinci of heart surgery'?That's the moniker given to today's guest - a man who pioneered high-profile and often controversial procedures, but also helped drive huge medical progress; carrying out around 2,000 heart transplants and 400 dual heart-lung transplants during his 60-year career.Sir Magdi Yacoub is Emeritus Professor of Cardiothoracic Surgery at Imperial College London, and Director of Research at Harefield Hospital's Magdi Yacoub Institute. Inspired by a surgeon father and impacted by the tragic early death of his aunt from a heart condition, his medical career includes various surgical firsts alongside numerous research projects, to further our understanding of and ability to treat heart disease. He headed up the teams that discovered it is possible to reverse heart failure, and that successfully grew part of a human heart valve from stem cells for the first time.But it hasn't always been plain sailing. At times, his work – such as early, unsuccessful transplant attempts, or using a baboon as a life-support system for a baby – attracted serious public criticism.Speaking to Professor Jim Al-Khalili, Sir Magdi reflects on the highs and lows of his cardio career, and offers his advice to the next generation of surgeons and researchers hoping to make their mark in heart medicine.Presented by Jim Al-Khalili Produced by Lucy Taylor Reversion for World Service by Minnie Harrop

Instructional design isn't just about what learners know—it's about what they can do. In this episode, Dr. Karl Kapp discusses his new book, Action First Learning, and why engagement, application, and challenge are essential for lasting impact. Show Notes: Karl Kapp challenges traditional instructional design methods and introduces ideas that inspire lasting behavior change from learners. His key takeaways include: Design for Application, Not Absorption: Action First Learning emphasizes giving learners opportunities to apply concepts right away. By focusing on real-world tasks and challenges from the start, training becomes more relevant, memorable, and impactful. Desirable Difficulties Improve Retention: Learning that feels too easy may not stick. Struggles—when designed well—lead to deeper understanding, stronger memory, and long-term performance. Reflection Is Essential for Learning: Without intentional reflection, learners may have experiences but miss the lessons. Instruction should include built-in prompts or creative methods to encourage personal reflection. Effective Learning Doesn't Require Expensive Tech: High-impact learning experiences can be created using simple tools like card games, role-plays, or branching scenarios. It's the design, not the delivery method, that matters most. Gamification Is Evolving—And So Should We: Today's most effective gamified learning emphasizes strategy, feedback, and motivation—not just points and badges. The future lies in designing experiences, not rewards.

(Rediffusion) Mais que les adeptes du petit somme se rassurent, la sieste a aussi ses défenseurs. C'est même une tradition dans certains pays comme en Espagne ou en Italie pour supporter les heures chaudes de l'après-midi. La Chine en a fait un droit constitutionnel. De nombreuses personnalités en ont fait l'éloge, on peut citer le peintre Léonard de Vinci, le physicien Albert Einstein ou l'ancien président français Jacques Chirac, tous les trois accros à la micro-sieste.

2025晨鐘課-每天,都是新的起點 以歷史智慧滋養生活,點亮2025每一天! 借鑑過去,活在當下,展望未來! 粵語廣播網站 (時兆出版社授權錄製) https://soundcloud.com/mediahk Podcast@靈修廣播站 8月21日 時刻鑑察我 耶和華的眼目無處不在;惡人善人,他都鑑察。 箴言 15:3 1911年8月21日,巴黎羅浮宮發生了史上最著名的藝術品竊盜案之一。一名員工將達文西(Lenardo da Vinci)名作《蒙娜麗莎》盜走,偷偷存放在自己的公寓裡長達兩年之久。對於這幅被公認為「全世界最著名、最受歡迎、最多人描寫、最多人傳唱、最多人模仿」的十六世紀早期藝術作品來說,著實是一場重大災難。 1914年1月,它被歸還給了羅浮宮。人們熱愛蒙娜麗莎的微笑,為她那雙無論你走到何處都能跟隨你的眼睛而癡狂。 也許最著名、最廣為人知的復臨派畫作當屬艾爾弗雷德.李(Elfred Lee)創作的壁畫《窄路上的基督》,這幅畫如今在馬里蘭州銀泉市懷愛倫託管委員會遊客中心永久展出。該壁畫於1991年10月22日落成,再現了懷愛倫第一次所看到的異象,重點刻畫了復臨教會的關鍵歷史時刻以及幾位頗具影響力的領袖。壁畫的中心是張開雙臂站立著的基督。與蒙娜麗莎一樣,無論你走到哪裡,祂的眼睛都會看著你。我曾經問過艾爾弗雷德.李關於其中的繪畫訣竅。他告訴我,只要把眼睛畫得活靈活現,自然而然就會產生這種效果。 《蒙娜麗莎》和《窄路上的基督》中那雙恆久注視的眼睛提醒我們,「耶和華的眼目無處不在;惡人善人,他都鑑察。」(箴15:3)那些聲稱「耶和華看不見我們;耶和華已經離棄這地」(結8:12)的人與凡意識到隱藏是徒勞的人形成了鮮明對比。 「我往哪裡去躲避你的靈?我往哪裡逃、躲避你的面?我若升到天上,你在那裡;我若在陰間下榻,你也在那裡。我若展開清晨的翅膀,飛到海極居住,就是在那裡,你的手必引導我;你的右手也必扶持我。」(詩139:7–10) 如果你意識到上帝在時時刻刻鑑察你,你會改變自己的生活嗎?記住,你可以躲避人群,但無法躲避自己的良心和上帝。永遠不要忘記,上帝常與我們同在。 #媒體佈道部 #港澳區會 #聲音書 #時兆出版社 #每天,都是新的起點 #本書由時兆出版社授權刊載
Leonardo da Vinci, un erudito italiano del siglo XV de imaginación desbordante y profundo intelecto, creó algunas de las obras de arte más veneradas de todos los tiempos. Sin embargo, sus esfuerzos artísticos a veces parecían secundarios a sus aficiones en ciencia e ingeniería. A través de sus pinturas y los miles de dibujos y escritos que dejó, este documental de PBS explora una de las mentes más curiosas e innovadoras de la humanidad.
Hermann Wilhelm Göring nació en el sanatorio Marienbad (Rosenheim, Baviera), cuarto hijo del matrimonio habido entre Heinrich Ernst Göring (31 de octubre de 1839 - 7 de diciembre de 1913) y Franziska «Fanny» Tiefenbrunn, muerta en agosto de 1923. Göring tuvo dos hermanos y dos hermanas: Albert y Karl Ernst Göring y Olga Therese Sophia y Paula Elisabeth Rosa Göring. La familia Göring era de orígenes aristocráticos y tenía ancestros tanto católicos como protestantes. Su padre, soldado profesional en tiempos de Otto von Bismarck, se convirtió en el primer gobernador del África Suroccidental Alemana. Vivió su infancia lejos de su familia, cuando su padre se jubiló fueron a vivir al principio cerca de Berlín. Pero la mayor parte del tiempo vivieron en Veldestein, en las proximidades de Núremberg, en un castillo medieval perteneciente al padrino de Hermann y padre de Albert, el doctor Hermann Espenstein. Ese entorno romántico influyó en su inclinación por todo tipo de vestimenta. Sus resultados en la escuela, luego de un internado privado, fueron mediocres, pero todo cambió en cuanto se le envió a la escuela de cadetes de Karlsruhe y más tarde, en 1910, a la famosa Gross Lichterfelde cerca de Berlín. Adoraba literalmente la vida de aspirante a oficial prusiano y llevaba con orgullo el uniforme. Después, cuando fue a Italia en compañía de sus amigos, redactó su diario donde decía que admiraba las obras de Leonardo da Vinci, Rubens, Tiziano y Bellini; esa pasión por la pintura lo convertiría más tarde en uno de los coleccionistas más expertos de Europa.

An Inside Job by Daniel Silva Gabriel Allon has been awarded a commission to restore one of the most important paintings in Venice. But when he discovers the body of a mysterious woman floating in the waters of the Venetian Lagoon, he finds himself in a desperate race to recover a lost masterpiece by Leonardo da Vinci. The painting, a portrait of a beautiful young girl, has been gathering dust in a storeroom at the Vatican Museums for more than a century, misattributed and hidden beneath a worthless picture by an unknown artist. Because no one knows that the Leonardo is there, no one notices when it disappears one night during a suspicious power outage. No one but the ruthless mobsters and moneymen behind the theft—and the mysterious woman whom Gabriel found in a watery grave in Venice. A woman without a name. A woman without a face. What I Ate In One Year by Stanley Tucci ‘Sharing food is one of the purest human acts' Food has always been an integral part of Stanley Tucci's life: from stracciatella soup served in the shadow of the Pantheon, to marinara sauce cooked between rehearsals and costume fittings, to home-made pizza eaten with his children before bedtime. In What I Ate in One Year Tucci records twelve months of eating, in restaurants, kitchens, film sets, press junkets, at home and abroad, with friends, with family, with strangers, and occasionally just by himself. Ranging from the mouth-wateringly memorable, to the comfortingly domestic, to the infuriatingly inedible, the meals memorialized in this diary are a prism through which he reflects on the ways his life, and his family, are constantly evolving. Through food he marks – and mourns – the passing of time, the loss of loved ones, and prepares himself for what is to come. LISTEN ABOVE See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

What do glassblowing, fintech, and plastic-free diapers have in common? One brilliant disruptor: Jim McKelvey. I had the privilege of interviewing Jim McKelvey, the award-winning, Amazon-beating polymath who co-founded Square (now Block) with Jack Dorsey. But calling him just a fintech entrepreneur or a computer scientist would be like calling Leonardo da Vinci just a painter. This man defies categorization in the most fascinating way possible. "I'm a guy that's had no focus for 30 years," Jim told me with characteristic humility. "I am a transport category pilot. I'm a professional glass artist with industrial designs in MoMA and the Smithsonian. I'm a computer scientist. I was on the Federal Reserve and used to vote on interest rates. That was fun. I built the hardware for Square, which we now call Block. I've started a bunch of other companies...Ugh. Look, basically, what I do is I build tools." His "lack of focus" has actually been his superpower, creating a truly unique lens on innovation, branding, and problem-solving that most specialists simply can't achieve. From Frustration to Billion-Dollar Solutions Our conversation revealed how Jim transforms everyday frustrations into industry-changing innovations. The Square story began with something as mundane as being unable to accept American Express at his glass studio. That simple pain point sparked a billion-dollar disruption that fundamentally changed mobile payments forever. Jim shared his methodology for spotting opportunities hiding in plain sight and building products that resonate deeply with audiences. More importantly, he explained how he predicts business disasters before they happen – and his track record is impressive! Hint: his accurate predictions about Southwest Airlines and other major corporate meltdowns, made it into his book "The Innovation Stack" years before its current challenges. Then he shares how and why brand associations can make or break a company (hello, Bud Light disaster. Listen for how that motivated his current project, PwrScore.ai.) The Art of Taking Calculated Risks What struck me most about Jim was his fearless approach to high-risk, high-impact projects. "I work on projects that are right now, sort of long shots because I'm in a position where I can take a long shot," he explained. "I've made way, way more money than I ever expected. My wife and I have taken the giving pledge, so we're gonna give all the money away, but in the meantime, I can take crazy risks." That's not just talk – Jim and his wife have literally committed to giving away their entire fortune for the betterment of the world. It's a level of commitment to pro-social behavior that's both inspiring and rare in today's business landscape. Two Game-Changing Projects You Need to Know About Jim pulled back the curtain on his current ventures, and they're both fascinating for completely different reasons. First is PwrScore, a that tool that measures and assesses brand resonance and compatibility using AI to minimize research bias and enhance brand capabilities through better data. The kicker? He's giving it away for free. Yes, really. This isn't some limited trial – it's a genuinely useful tool that most companies would charge thousands for, and Jim is just handing it out because he believes it can help businesses make better decisions. PwrScore.ai The second project might sound unusual, but it could change the world: plastic-free diapers. "Diapers last for a thousand years and they become these horrible microplastics that are bad for the world, and I just thought it could be possible to do it without plastic. So I've been working on it for five years with a team. We're this close to a breakthrough..." Think about it – billions of diapers end up in landfills every year, taking centuries to decompose and creating environmental havoc. If Jim cracks this code, the sustainability impact could be massive.
We constructed an empire in ancient Egypt, convinced Leonardo da Vinci that we were gods, and inadvertently introduced a cowboy into the future. Naturally, we also engaged in debates about whether it was acceptable to sip a High Noon at work and determining which of us would emerge victorious in a UFC cage match.From espresso martini regrets to an abundance of WWE legends, this episode encompasses a diverse range of topics. Additionally, it features a significant amount of timeline tampering and a bewildered individual named Slim.We are still uncertain whether this was a podcast or a fever dream.

What if the tale of one night could change the way we view art forever?Professor Suzannah Lipscomb is joined by Dr. Noah Charney to explore the life and legacy of Giorgio Vasari, the man who redefined art as an intellectual pursuit and artists as divine geniuses. They delve into Vasari's influential work and how it shaped our understanding of the Renaissance, artistic genius, and the very structure of art history today.From the tale of a fabricated murder among Renaissance artists to the lasting impact on museum curation and art education, Suzannah and Noah uncover how Vasari's blend of truth and myth continues to influence modern perceptions of creativity and value in art.MORE:Leonardo da Vinci with Ken Burnshttps://open.spotify.com/episode/4Fv8RTd6AWAmMQ7DKYRHcYMichelangelohttps://open.spotify.com/episode/3ocKCFinOdaCZYfBtHoMXnPresented by Professor Suzannah Lipscomb.

Le Prime Espressioni che Ti Faranno Sentire Italiano Ecco alcune espressioni fondamentali che ti aiuteranno a sentirti subito parte della comunità italiana. Ogni volta che le userai, noterai come gli italiani ti accoglieranno con un sorriso più caloroso: "Prego" - Questa piccola parola magica significa "prego", "di niente" e "si accomodi" allo stesso tempo. È il passepartout della cortesia italiana. Esempio: quando qualcuno ti ringrazia, rispondi semplicemente "Prego!" e vedrai l'effetto. "Mi scusi" - Per chiedere scusa o attirare l'attenzione educatamente. Esempio: "Mi scusi, dove si trova la stazione?" ti aprirà molte conversazioni utili. "Che bello!" - L'espressione dell'ammirazione italiana per eccellenza. Gli italiani la usano per tutto ciò che li colpisce positivamente. Esempio: davanti a un tramonto, a un piatto delizioso o a una storia interessante, un sincero "Che bello!" ti farà sembrare già un vero italiano. "Non c'è problema" - L'atteggiamento rilassato e accogliente tipicamente italiano. Quando qualcuno si scusa o sembra preoccupato, questa frase dissolve ogni tensione. Frasi di Sopravvivenza per le Prime Settimane Queste frasi essenziali ti salveranno in moltissime situazioni quotidiane e ti daranno la fiducia necessaria per iniziare a comunicare da subito: "Sto imparando l'italiano" - Questa frase è il tuo superpotere! Gli italiani adorano chi sta imparando la loro lingua e diventeranno immediatamente i tuoi migliori insegnanti. Preparati a ricevere incoraggiamenti, consigli e molta pazienza. "Può ripetere, per favore?" - Non aver mai paura di chiedere di ripetere. Gli italiani apprezzeranno il tuo sforzo di capire e parleranno più lentamente per aiutarti. "Come si dice... in italiano?" - Questa domanda trasformerà ogni conversazione in una lezione di italiano gratuita. Gli italiani sono orgogliosi della loro lingua e saranno felici di insegnartela. "Grazie mille!" - Più enfatico di un semplice "grazie", questa espressione mostra il tuo entusiasmo e la tua gratitudine in modo tipicamente italiano. Espressioni che Mostrano la Tua Passione per l'Italia Queste espressioni più avanzate ti permetteranno di dimostrare il tuo vero interesse per la cultura italiana e creeranno connessioni più profonde con le persone che incontri: "Mi piace molto l'Italia" - Semplice ma efficace.

Preparati a ricevere inviti a cena e ricette di famiglia tramandate da generazioni. "Che bella lingua!" - Quando esprimi ammirazione per l'italiano stesso,

Designing training that is engaging, compassionate and informative is key for instructional designer Hallie Martyniuk, principal at TD3 Consulting. She shares how working in crime victim services has shaped her approach to designing learning about subjects that need to be addressed with sensitivity.Show Notes:Instructional Designer and educator Hallie Martyniuk shares advice on handling the challenges of delivering effective training on some of the most sensitive topics imaginable including sexual assault, domestic violence, and abuse. Her key points include:Trauma-Informed Design Is Essential: When creating training around sensitive topics like sexual violence or abuse, it's critical to assume learners may have personal experience with trauma. Being trauma-informed means balancing emotional content with careensuring that scenarios serve clear learning objective.Make Training Relevant Through Real-Life Scenarios: Adult learners need to see how training applies to their day-to-day roles. Even with dry content like policy and procedure, Hallie recommends integrating realistic situations to make the material more engaging and memorable.Engagement Goes Beyond Clicking ‘Next': Poorly designed e-learning often feels like a glorified PowerPoint. The best training starts with real-life context, asks questions, and builds in critical thinking to keep learners actively involved.Work Closely with Subject Matter Experts (SMEs): Instructional designers don't need to be experts in every topic—but they do need to ask the right questions. Hallie stresses collaborating with SMEs to understand key concepts, vocabulary, and cultural nuances.Support Learners Beyond the Screen: Sensitive training content can trigger emotional responses. Designers should plan for this by offering resources like hotlines or support contacts in the “where to go” section and preparing facilitators to handle disclosures with compassion and care.Hallie Martyniuk serves as a consultant for one of d'Vinci's educational products, Mandated Reporter Academy.

Since this episode originally aired in 2020, Burns has captivated audiences with documentaries on Ernest Hemingway, Muhammad Ali, Benjamin Franklin, the U.S. and the Holocaust, and the American buffalo as well as Burns' first non-American figure and topic: Leonardo da Vinci. This fall, he will release a new series on PBS about the American Revolution and how the nation's founding turned the world upside down.
Send us a textWhat separates true creators from casual observers? The difference lies not in talent, but in how deeply they engage with their sensory experiences. As host Amakri Isoboye explores in this thought-provoking episode, creativity flourishes when we move beyond superficial perception to develop intimate relationships with our sensory inputs. Drawing inspiration from Leonardo da Vinci's observation that most humans "look without seeing, listen without hearing," Amakri invites listeners into the creative realm—a space where ordinary perceptions transform into extraordinary creations.Through personal anecdotes about his chef wife's relationship with ingredients and musicians who hear notes as living entities speaking to one another, Amakri reveals how creators in every field—from cuisine to music, fashion to fragrance—develop a heightened sensory awareness that allows them to access creative dimensions closed to those operating on autopilot.The creative process demands patience but rewards with unparalleled fulfillment. Whether you're crafting songs, stories, meals, or solutions, your creativity serves as a portal through which something new enters the world. This isn't creativity for creativity's sake, but a meaningful response to humanity's hunger for fresh perspectives and experiences.Ready to transform how you perceive and create? Listen now to discover how your senses can become doorways to something greater—pathways into a creative realm where you don't just look, but truly see; don't just hear, but deeply listen; and don't just exist, but fully experience the world around you.Support the showYou can support this show via the link below;https://www.buzzsprout.com/1718587/supporters/new
In our first ever live episode, recorded at the 2025 Aspen Ideas Festival, Sophie sits down with Walter Isaacson, the acclaimed journalist behind the definitive biographies of visionaries like Steve Jobs, Elon Musk, and Leonardo da Vinci.

A troubling statement makes us want to think of exceptions to it that would prove that statement to be wrong.“Outliers are interesting, but they rarely matter,” is a troubling statement, and you may already be thinking of exceptions to it. But it remains true nonetheless.This second statement is also true. “If there were no outliers, there would be no new inventions, no innovations, no progress. We would be trapped forever in the status quo.”These seemingly contradictory statements can both be true because there are two kinds of outliers.Leonardo da Vinci made marvelous art and filled fabulous sketchbooks with his insightful ideas, but he didn't really change anything. He was just an interesting outlier whose mind was ahead of his time.Rare is the outlier who throws a pebble into the ocean of time and shifts the world off its axis. Electricity is harnessed. Computers are invented. Someone connects them and now everyone knows everything all the time.“What distinguishes the past from the present is not biology, nor psychology, but rather technology. If the world has changed, it is because we have changed the world.”– Ezra Klein & Derek Thompson in their new book, AbundanceTechnology changes the world, but persuasion changes hearts and minds.I am an ad writer.When I was in my 20s, I was told,“People never change their mind. If you give a person the same information they were given in the past, they will make the same decision they made in the past. When a person appears to have ‘changed their mind,' what they have really done is made a new decision based on new information.*”Ten years later I realized that those people were trying to use logic to create “persuasion technology.” Their mistake was assuming that people make their decisions logically. But people do not trust new information when it disagrees with their belief system.New information may allow you to win the argument, but it rarely wins the heart.And a person convinced against their will, remains unconvinced, still.Wash away the opinions, bravado, and fluff, and you will find that most people are NOT seeking new information. They are seeking identity reinforcement.Bertrand Russell was a mathematician and a logician. He was awarded the Nobel Prize in Literature eight years before I was born.He said,“If a man is offered a fact which goes against his instincts, he will scrutinize it closely, and unless the evidence is overwhelming, he will refuse to believe it. If, on the other hand, he is offered something which affords a reason for acting in accordance with his instincts, he will accept it even on the slenderest evidence.”When your goal is persuasion, don't begin with new information. Begin by agreeing with what they already believe. Meet them where they are. Only then can you hope to lead them to where you want them to go.Abraham Lincoln knew that persuasion is easier when you begin at a point of mutual agreement.“If you would win a man to your cause, first convince him that you are his sincere friend. Therein is a drop of honey that catches his heart, which, say what you will, is the greatest high-road to his reason, and which, when once gained, you will find but little trouble in convincing his judgment of the...

Love him or hate him, many consider Elon Musk to be a modern-day genius. He co-founded PayPal, which transformed how people purchase things. He became the CEO of Tesla, which revolutionized electric vehicles—and made it cool to drive them. He founded SpaceX, accomplishing what only superpower nation-states have previously. And he is working to make our species interplanetary—maybe in a few years, we'll be doing this podcast on Mars. To many, these acts make Elon Musk a genius, perhaps the most important genius in history. But it's worth asking: What exactly makes him a genius? Is it a particular set of qualities, or is Elon Musk just particularly adept at playing the role of genius? Or at least what we've come to expect of geniuses? Is his offensive behavior excused by his genius, or the result of it? And why do human beings value genius, even to the point of deifying it? All of these questions are raised in Helen Lewis's new book, The Genius Myth. And not just with regard to Musk, but to so many of the figures our culture venerates as geniuses: Leonardo da Vinci, Galileo, William Shakespeare, Isaac Newton, Pablo Picasso, Albert Einstein, and Steve Jobs. Lewis asks: Were these people actually geniuses? Or was their genius based on a myth? And more importantly, how does our perception of “genius” confuse and distort our understanding of success—and how we value, or don't value, other human beings? Today on Honestly, Bari asks Helen Lewis if some people belong to a special and superior class, what it means to be a genius, and if she believes in geniuses at all.
