Just when you thought the Fortnum's Christmas tale was complete, the shop quietly unveiled its most spectacular secret in centuries. Hidden for two years behind a cheerful Zebedee Helm collage, a brand-new Double Helix Staircase has now risen at the heart of 181 Piccadilly. Inspired by Leonardo da Vinci and hand-built by master craftspeople in Sussex, it is part architectural marvel, part swirling artwork, and entirely Fortnum's. This unexpected addendum returns us to Piccadilly for a second helping, celebrating a staircase that is already becoming a landmark in its own right.

When Walter Isaacson, the legendary biographer of Steve Jobs, Albert Einstein, Benjamin Franklin, and Leonardo da Vinci, started shadowing Elon Musk, he found himself following "a guy who was one of the most popular people on the planet, and ended up with a guy who's the most controversial." Today on the show, Isaacson unpacks the transformation. (This episode first aired in September 2023.) Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

No More Excuses: Accepting God's Invitation to the Eternal Banquet In the Gospel of Luke, Jesus tells the parable of the Great Banquet, . . . where invited guests offer excuses . . . work, property, and relationships . . . to avoid attending the feast. Their refusal represents how worldly concerns can distract us from God's invitation to eternal life. The master then opens his banquet to the poor and outcast, symbolizing God's inclusive call to all who are willing to respond. The Homily connects this Gospel to St. Paul's teaching on the Body of Christ: every member has a unique gift meant to serve and build the unity of the Church, not for personal pride or division. When we neglect our role or elevate worldly pursuits . . . success, possessions, or relationships . . . above God, we disrupt both community and communion with Him. We are reminded that at every Mass, we are invited to the Lord's banquet. The question is whether we will accept His invitation to eternal life or let passing concerns keep us away. The faithful are urged to use their gifts in love, serve one another, and prioritize the eternal over the temporary. Listen to this Meditation Media.

La Renaissance, ce renouveau artistique, intellectuel et scientifique qui transforma l'Europe à partir du XVe siècle, ne naquit pas par hasard à Florence. Cette cité toscane réunissait alors des conditions politiques, économiques et culturelles uniques qui en firent le berceau d'un mouvement sans équivalent dans l'histoire occidentale.D'abord, Florence était une république riche et indépendante. Sa prospérité reposait sur le commerce et surtout sur la banque. La puissante famille Médicis, à la tête d'un empire financier, finançait non seulement les États d'Europe, mais aussi les artistes, les architectes et les penseurs. Cosme de Médicis puis Laurent le Magnifique comprirent que la gloire artistique pouvait servir la gloire politique. En soutenant des figures comme Botticelli, Léonard de Vinci ou Michel-Ange, ils firent de Florence une vitrine éclatante de leur influence et un centre culturel de premier plan.La structure politique de la cité joua aussi un rôle majeur. Florence n'était pas une monarchie mais une république oligarchique, où la liberté de pensée et le débat intellectuel avaient plus de place qu'ailleurs. Les humanistes florentins, inspirés par la redécouverte des textes grecs et latins, replacèrent l'homme au centre de la réflexion — une rupture avec la vision médiévale dominée par la religion. Des penseurs comme Marsile Ficin ou Pic de la Mirandole défendirent l'idée d'un être humain libre, doué de raison et capable de s'élever par le savoir.Florence bénéficiait aussi d'un héritage artistique exceptionnel. La proximité avec les ruines romaines, la maîtrise artisanale des ateliers et la tradition gothique italienne fournirent une base solide à l'innovation. Les artistes florentins expérimentèrent de nouvelles techniques : la perspective, la peinture à l'huile, l'étude du corps humain. Brunelleschi révolutionna l'architecture avec la coupole de Santa Maria del Fiore, symbole éclatant du génie florentin.Enfin, la concurrence entre les cités italiennes – Venise, Milan, Rome – stimula l'émulation. Chaque ville voulait attirer les meilleurs artistes pour affirmer sa puissance. Mais Florence garda une avance intellectuelle : elle ne se contenta pas de produire des œuvres, elle inventa une nouvelle manière de penser l'art et le savoir.Ainsi, la Renaissance florentine fut bien plus qu'une explosion de beauté : elle fut le fruit d'une société ouverte, prospère et avide de connaissance, où l'art devint le miroir d'une nouvelle idée de l'homme et du monde.

In his new book, he reveals how figures as different as Frida Kahlo, Leonardo da Vinci, and Simone Biles all relied on the same pattern of thinking to adapt to radically changing circumstances.In his conversation with Adam Job, senior director at the BCG Henderson Institute, he discusses the difference between adaptability and resilience, and how to scale adaptability from one person to a team to an entire organization.Key topics discussed: 01:14 | The power of adaptive intelligence03:03 | Adaptability vs. resilience05:15 | The RUN loop: Recognize, understand, necessary action09:08 | How to help others become more adaptable11:57 | How to make your company more adaptable16:19 | Applying the loop logic to innovation23:56 | Real life stories of adaptability29:23 | Bringing adaptability to life with illustrationsAdditional inspirations from Max McKeown:The Strategy Book: How to Think and Act Strategically to Deliver Outstanding Results (FT Publishing International, 2024)

En este episodio conversamos con el antropólogo y psicólogo Luxio Ugarte, autor del libro Paleopsicología del arte rupestre (Editorial Almuzara), donde investiga desde una mirada psicodinámica y antropológica las huellas artísticas del pasado. Repasamos temas tan amplios como fascinantes: desde los orígenes del arte en la prehistoria hasta las tradiciones culturales que aún sobreviven. También abordamos los misterios que atraviesan el tiempo: los enigmas detrás de Leonardo da Vinci, los relieves y pinturas del desierto de Tassili, y las pinturas rupestres de lugares tan distintos como Australia o los territorios de los antiguos pueblos en Estados Unidos. Luxio nos guía por un recorrido enigmático: ¿qué expresaban los autores prehistóricos con sus símbolos y formas? ¿Qué dimensiones psicológicas y culturales subyacen al arte rupestre? ¿Cómo conectar esas expresiones ancestrales con la sensibilidad humana contemporánea? Producción: Informa Radio. Dirección: Blanca Martín y Antonio Sanz Colaboradores: Fermín Mayorga, Jaime Barrientos, Javier Hdez. Sinde, Víctor Haas y Eduardo Rega. Entrevista con Luxio Ugarte sobre su libro Paleopsicología del arte rupestre.

Por aquí ya nos estamos preparando para el frío, porque hace un año empezó justo en noviembre, aunque más bien en la segunda mitad del mes. Pero bueno, si la temperatura es parecida a la que tuvimos entonces, no está mal. Hizo mucho frío comparado con Madrid, pero nada del otro mundo. Con ropa de abrigo se arregla todo. Así que, me conformo con que este año sea más o menos igual. En cuanto a la noticia de hoy, está relacionada con lo que sucedió hace poco en el Museo del Louvre de París. No sé si lo habrás visto en las noticias. Si no es así, te lo cuento. Bueno, en realidad, te lo iba a contar igualmente. Para eso estoy aquí. Bueno, el caso es que el domingo 19 de octubre, a plena luz del día y mientras el museo del Louvre estaba abierto al público, cuatro ladrones disfrazados de obreros accedieron al interior de una sala del museo utilizando un montacargas. Un montacargas es un ascensor que se utiliza para subir y bajar cosas pesadas, de mucho peso. Pues bien, en apenas siete minutos, los ladrones se llevaron ocho joyas de la Corona francesa, entre ellas una diadema de perlas que perteneció a la emperatriz Eugenia y un conjunto de collar y pendientes de zafiros de la reina María Amelia. Y luego, durante la huida, dejaron caer una corona que resultó dañada. El valor estimado del botín supera los 88 millones de euros. Por si no lo sabes, en este contexto, el botín es la cantidad de dinero robada. Por ejemplo, los ladrones que robaron el banco se llevaron un botín de 1 millón de euros. Volviendo a la noticia del Louvre, la policía francesa ha detenido ya a varios sospechosos. Sin embargo, las joyas aún no han sido recuperadas. Bueno, eso es lo que pasó en París, pero yo siempre suelo hablarte de algo ocurrido en España. Y, como te decía antes, guarda cierta relación con el robo de las joyas francesas, aunque no es igual, ni mucho menos. Te hablo de la desaparición de un cuadro del pintor Pablo Picasso. Y antes de escuchar la noticia, como hago siempre, voy a darte algo de contexto. Y en este caso tengo que hablarte del autor de la obra desaparecida. Pablo Picasso nació en Málaga en 1881, y fue uno de los creadores del cubismo, un estilo que revolucionó el arte en el siglo XX. Además de pintar, también trabajó en escultura, cerámica, grabado y diseño teatral. Vivió gran parte de su vida en Francia y dejó un legado inmenso, con obras muy famosas como el Guernica o Las señoritas de Avignon. La obra de la que hablaremos hoy se titula Naturaleza muerta con guitarra, pintada en 1919. Es una composición de objetos cotidianos, como una guitarra y una botella, representados con formas geométricas y colores planos, típica del estilo cubista. Aunque no es una de sus piezas más conocidas, tiene un gran valor artístico y económico. Por cierto, si alguna vez vienes a España y quieres ver obras de Picasso, puedes visitar el Museo Reina Sofía en Madrid, donde se encuentra el famoso Guernica; el Museo Picasso Málaga, en su ciudad natal, que alberga una colección variada de pinturas, cerámicas y dibujos; el Museo Picasso Barcelona, con más de 4.000 obras, especialmente de su etapa juvenil; y el Museo Thyssen-Bornemisza, también en Madrid, que expone algunas de sus obras dentro de su colección de arte moderno. Y dicho todo esto, ya estamos preparados para escuchar la noticia de Radio Nacional de España. Como te explicaba antes, trata sobre la desaparición del cuadro de Picasso Naturaleza muerta con guitarra. Escucha con atención y te sigo contando cosas. “Estamos ahora en Granada, donde debería estar expuesto un Picasso desaparecido, ‘Naturaleza muerta con guitarra', pintado en 1919, salió de Madrid para ser prestado. La Policía Nacional investiga el extravío o robo, María Martín. Sí, era una de las obras que iban a exhibirse en la muestra ‘Bodegón' de la Fundación Caja Granada, pero nunca llegó. En estos momentos, la Policía Nacional trata de averiguar dónde desapareció este pequeño cuadro de Pablo Picasso datado en 1919 y asegurado en 600.000 euros. Se sabe que el cuadro ‘Naturaleza muerta con guitarra' salió del inmueble del propietario en Madrid, después la pieza se trasladó al almacén de la empresa, que contaba con medidas de seguridad, y días después trasladaron esta y otras obras de arte en un furgón hasta Deifontes, donde los conductores hicieron noche. Se desconoce en qué punto desapareció. Lo que sí se sabe es que no llegó a Granada. La investigación sigue abierta y, por el momento, no hay detenciones.” Un caso extraño, ¿verdad? Bueno, pues luego te cuento qué pasó en realidad, porque entre el día que escuché la noticia y el día de la grabación de este episodio, ya se ha resuelto esa desaparición. Pero antes vamos con las palabras que pueden resultar más complicadas. Expuesto: Que está visible o mostrado al público, especialmente en una exposición o museo. Ejemplos: El cuadro estuvo expuesto en el Museo del Prado durante tres meses. Los documentos confidenciales no deben estar expuestos en lugares públicos. Extravío: Pérdida de algo, especialmente cuando no se sabe dónde está. Ejemplos: El extravío del paquete ocurrió durante el transporte. Se denunció el extravío de una obra de arte muy valiosa. Exhibir: Mostrar algo públicamente para que otros lo vean, especialmente en una exposición. Ejemplos: Van a exhibir esculturas de artistas jóvenes en la galería. El museo exhibe una colección de arte moderno. Muestra: Exposición o presentación de obras, productos o elementos para que sean vistos por el público. Ejemplos: La muestra de fotografía estará abierta hasta el domingo. En la muestra se incluyen obras de Picasso y Dalí. Datado: Que tiene una fecha asignada, especialmente en documentos u obras de arte. Ejemplos: El manuscrito está datado en el siglo XV. El cuadro está datado en 1919, poco después de la Primera Guerra Mundial. Asegurado: Que tiene un seguro que cubre su valor en caso de pérdida o daño. Ejemplos: El coche está asegurado contra robos y accidentes. La obra de arte estaba asegurada en 600.000 euros. Inmueble: Edificio o propiedad que no se puede mover, como una casa o un local. Ejemplos: El cuadro fue retirado del inmueble del propietario en Madrid. Compraron un inmueble en el centro de la ciudad para abrir una tienda. Furgón: Vehículo cerrado y grande usado para transportar mercancías o equipaje. Ejemplos: Las obras fueron trasladadas en un furgón con medidas de seguridad. El furgón llegó a la galería con varias cajas de arte. Hacer noche: Pasar la noche en un lugar durante un viaje. Ejemplos: Los conductores hicieron noche a mitad de camino antes de seguir a Granada. Vamos a hacer noche en Zaragoza y continuar el viaje mañana. Muy bien. Pues ahora tienes que entender todo lo que vamos a escuchar por segunda vez. “Estamos ahora en Granada, donde debería estar expuesto un Picasso desaparecido, ‘Naturaleza muerta con guitarra', pintado en 1919, salió de Madrid para ser prestado. La Policía Nacional investiga el extravío o robo, María Martín. Sí, era una de las obras que iban a exhibirse en la muestra ‘Bodegón' de la Fundación Caja Granada, pero nunca llegó. En estos momentos, la Policía Nacional trata de averiguar dónde desapareció este pequeño cuadro de Pablo Picasso datado en 1919 y asegurado en 600.000 euros.

Se desconoce en qué punto desapareció. Lo que sí se sabe es que no llegó a Granada. La investigación sigue abierta y, por el momento, no hay detenciones.” Te adelanto que la desaparición se ha resuelto y no han arrestado a nadie. Por lo tanto, ¿qué habrá pasado? Bueno, luego te lo cuento. Así mantengo el suspense, el misterio. Ahora voy a contarte la noticia con otras palabras. En la información nos dicen que en Granada debía presentarse una pintura de Pablo Picasso, pero que nunca llegó al lugar previsto. La obra, titulada Naturaleza muerta con guitarra y realizada en 1919, fue enviada desde Madrid como parte de un préstamo para una exposición artística. La Policía Nacional está intentando esclarecer si se trata de una pérdida accidental o de un posible robo. El cuadro iba a formar parte de una muestra organizada por la Fundación Caja Granada, pero no se encuentra en el sitio donde debía exhibirse. En la noticia nos cuentan que la pieza salió de la vivienda del propietario en Madrid, y que fue trasladada a las instalaciones de una empresa especializada en transporte de arte, una empresa que contaba con sistemas de seguridad, claro. Días después, se cargó el cuadro junto a otras obras en un vehículo cerrado y se dirigieron a una localidad que se llama Deifontes, donde los conductores pasaron la noche. El día que apareció la noticia no se había determinado en qué momento exacto se produjo la desaparición. Lo único confirmado es que nunca llegó a Granada. Seguro que estás dándole vueltas a la cabeza pensando en qué pasó realmente. Pues no te preocupes que te lo cuento en un minuto, justo después de volver a escuchar la noticia. “Estamos ahora en Granada, donde debería estar expuesto un Picasso desaparecido, ‘Naturaleza muerta con guitarra', pintado en 1919, salió de Madrid para ser prestado. La Policía Nacional investiga el extravío o robo, María Martín. Sí, era una de las obras que iban a exhibirse en la muestra ‘Bodegón' de la Fundación Caja Granada, pero nunca llegó. En estos momentos, la Policía Nacional trata de averiguar dónde desapareció este pequeño cuadro de Pablo Picasso datado en 1919 y asegurado en 600.000 euros. Se sabe que el cuadro ‘Naturaleza muerta con guitarra' salió del inmueble del propietario en Madrid, después la pieza se trasladó al almacén de la empresa, que contaba con medidas de seguridad, y días después trasladaron esta y otras obras de arte en un furgón hasta Deifontes, donde los conductores hicieron noche. Se desconoce en qué punto desapareció. Lo que sí se sabe es que no llegó a Granada. La investigación sigue abierta y, por el momento, no hay detenciones.” Venga, te lo cuento ya. En realidad, el cuadro de Picasso no desapareció y tampoco fue un robo, sino simplemente un olvido. La obra no llegó a ser cargada en el camión de transporte. De hecho, el cuadro se quedó dentro del edificio del propietario, porque los encargados de recogerlo lo olvidaron allí. Subieron al camión otras obras, pero no esa. Y el asunto se resolvió porque una vecina entró al edificio, vio un paquete en el suelo y se lo subió a su casa pensando que era de Amazon. Así de sencillo. Qué cosas pasan, ¿verdad? En este caso, el cuadro de Picasso no se perdió. Pero a lo largo de la historia, muchas obras de arte han sido robadas o han desaparecido misteriosamente. Uno de los robos más famosos fue el de La Gioconda, también conocida como La Mona Lisa, de Leonardo da Vinci. En 1911, un empleado del Museo del Louvre se llevó la pintura escondida bajo su abrigo. El cuadro fue recuperado dos años después, pero durante la investigación incluso se llegó a interrogar a Picasso como sospechoso. Otro caso emblemático es el de El grito, del noruego Edvard Munch. Esta obra fue robada dos veces: la primera en 1994 y la segunda en 2004. Afortunadamente, en ambas ocasiones se pudo recuperar. También está el robo en el Museo Gardner de Boston, en 1990, donde desaparecieron once obras maestras de artistas como Rembrandt, Vermeer y Degas, valoradas en más de 100 millones de euros. Hasta hoy, muchas de esas piezas siguen sin aparecer. Incluso el propio Picasso ha sido víctima de robos auténticos. En 2010, su obra La paloma con guisantes verdes fue sustraída en París y aún no ha sido recuperada. Bueno, por suerte, la noticia de hoy ha terminado con final feliz, y espero que te haya servido para aprender cosas nuevas del español y del artista Pablo Picasso. Y antes de despedirme, vamos a repasar las palabras y expresiones que hemos visto hoy en detalle: Expuesto: Que está visible o mostrado al público, especialmente en una exposición o museo. Extravío: Pérdida de algo, especialmente cuando no se sabe dónde está. Exhibir: Mostrar algo públicamente para que otros lo vean, especialmente en una exposición. Muestra: Exposición o presentación de obras, productos o elementos para que sean vistos por el público. Datado: Que tiene una fecha asignada, especialmente en documentos u obras de arte. Asegurado: Que tiene un seguro que cubre su valor en caso de pérdida o daño. Inmueble: Edificio o propiedad que no se puede mover, como una casa o un local. Furgón: Vehículo cerrado y grande usado para transportar mercancías o equipaje. Hacer noche: Pasar la noche en un lugar durante un viaje. Si alguna vez haces noche en Madrid, recuerda que puedes ver algunas obras de Picasso en varios museos de la capital. No dejes pasar esa oportunidad. Por mi parte, es todo por hoy. Te agradezco mucho que sigas ahí apoyándome y te espero la próxima semana con más contenido exclusivo solo para ti. Adiós.

Kencan Dengan Tuhan - Sabtu, 8 November 2025Bacaan: "Marilah kita hidup dengan sopan, seperti pada siang hari, jangan dalam pesta pora dan kemabukan, jangan dalam percabulan dan hawa nafsu, jangan dalam perselisihan dan iri hati." (Roma 13:13)Renungan: Para konselor Florence meminta Leonardo da Vinci untuk menyerahkan skets dekorasi ruang pertemuan besar di Florence. Salah seorang konselor juga meminta Michelangelo seorang pelukis muda, untuk menyerahkan gambar juga. Skets Leonardo begitu baik dan sesuai dengan kejeniusannya. Namun ketika para konselor itu melihat skets Michelangelo, mereka begitu antusias. Berita itu sampai ke telinga Leonardo. Leonardo juga mendengar para konselor berkata, "Leonardo mulai tua." Pada akhirnya Leonardo tidak pernah mampu mengatasi rasa iri hatinya karena ketenarannya terancam oleh Micheangelo. Karena rasa iri hati itulah, sisa hidup Leonardo tidak pernah merasa bahagia. Apakah saat ini kita merasa iri hati dengan keberhasilan seseorang? Iri hati hanya akan membuat sukacita kita hilang, hidup menjadi penuh beban berat. Tuhan menciptakan manusia dengan rancangan yang berbeda satu dengan yang lain. Masing-masing pribadi diberi keunikan yang berbeda untuk menambah indahnya dunia ini. Satu dengan yang lain tidak ada yang sama. Oleh karena itu, terimalah diri apa adanya karena masing-masing dari kita berharga di mata Tuhan. Semakin kita menerima diri dan berserah, maka mutiara yang indah akan muncul dari dalam diri kita. Tuhan Yesus memberkati.Doa:Tuhan Yesus, ajarilah aku untuk menjadi diriku sendiri. Jangan biarkan iri hati menguasaiku. Yakinkan aku bahwa aku berharga di mata-Mu, dan Engkau mempunyai rencana yang indah dengan kehadiranku yang berbeda dari orang lain. Amin. (Dod).

Di taccuini famosi ce ne sono molti: da quelli di Leonardo da Vinci a quello di Edison, e tutti, a modo loro, hanno contribuito a cambiare il mondo. Oggi ne parliamo con un esperto, Max Temporelli, il fisico e divulgatore scientifico che ha reso il suo taccuino il più famoso del web.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Les noms de famille n'ont pas toujours existé. Pendant des siècles, dans la plupart des sociétés, on se contentait d'un seul prénom. Mais quand les populations ont commencé à croître, il est devenu difficile de distinguer tous les “Jean” ou “Pierre” d'un même village. C'est alors qu'ont commencé à apparaître, dès le Moyen Âge, les noms de famille, d'abord en Europe, pour préciser l'identité d'une personne. Et la plupart de ces noms viennent de quatre grandes origines : le métier, le lieu, la filiation et une caractéristique physique ou morale.1. Les noms issus du métierC'est l'une des sources les plus courantes. On désignait les gens par ce qu'ils faisaient : Jean le Boulanger, Pierre le Charpentier, Jacques le Berger. Avec le temps, ces surnoms sont devenus des noms de famille transmis à leurs enfants. En France, on retrouve par exemple Boulanger, Marchand, Charpentier, ou Berger. En anglais, cela a donné Smith (forgeron), Baker (boulanger) ou Taylor (tailleur).2. Les noms liés à un lieuD'autres personnes étaient identifiées par leur origine géographique. On disait Marie de Lyon ou Guillaume du Bois. Ces mentions sont devenues des noms de famille : Delacroix, Dupont, Dubois, Deschamps. En Italie, on trouve Da Vinci (“de Vinci”, le village natal de Léonard). Ces noms reflètent souvent l'endroit où vivait l'ancêtre — un pont, un champ, une rivière — et servent encore aujourd'hui de témoins de l'histoire locale.3. Les noms patronymiquesCertains noms viennent directement du prénom du père. En France, cela a donné Martin, Henry, ou Laurent. Mais dans d'autres langues, on l'exprime plus clairement : en anglais, Johnson signifie “fils de John”, Anderson “fils d'Andrew”. En Russie, Ivanov veut dire “fils d'Ivan”, et en Islande, ce système est encore vivant : le fils d'un homme nommé Olaf s'appellera Olafsson, et sa fille Olafsdóttir.4. Les noms descriptifs ou surnomsEnfin, beaucoup de noms de famille venaient d'un trait physique ou de caractère. Petit, Legrand, Lenoir, Leblanc, Fort, ou Lemoine décrivaient une particularité, parfois flatteuse, parfois moqueuse. En Allemagne, Klein signifie “petit”, et en Espagne, Delgado veut dire “mince”.Peu à peu, ces surnoms se sont transmis d'une génération à l'autre, devenant héréditaires à partir du XIVᵉ siècle environ. Ainsi, les noms de famille sont de véritables fossiles linguistiques : ils racontent l'origine, le métier ou le caractère de nos ancêtres, et forment une mémoire vivante de notre histoire collective.

L'idée que les gauchers seraient plus créatifs que les droitiers est ancienne, séduisante… mais scientifiquement controversée. Elle repose sur une intuition simpliste : si le cerveau gauche contrôle la main droite et le cerveau droit contrôle la main gauche — et que le cerveau droit serait “le siège de la créativité” — alors les gauchers, plus “droit cérébral”, devraient être plus imaginatifs. Mais la réalité, révélée par plusieurs études, est bien plus nuancée.Une étude publiée en 2009 par Shobe et al. dans la revue Brain and Cognition a testé cette hypothèse sur des étudiants américains. Les chercheurs ont mesuré leur “pensée divergente” — la capacité à produire des idées originales — et ont comparé droitiers, gauchers et “inconsistants” (ceux qui utilisent les deux mains selon la tâche). Résultat : les gauchers n'étaient pas systématiquement plus créatifs. En revanche, les personnes au faible degré de latéralisation (ni totalement droitières, ni totalement gauchères) obtenaient de meilleurs scores de créativité. Leur cerveau semblait mieux équilibré entre les deux hémisphères, favorisant des connexions inhabituelles entre des idées éloignées.Cette découverte a inspiré une hypothèse neurolinguistique : la communication interhémisphérique — facilitée par un corps calleux plus actif — pourrait être un atout pour la pensée créative. Autrement dit, ce n'est pas la main utilisée qui compte, mais la souplesse du cerveau à mobiliser ses deux côtés.Des recherches plus récentes, notamment une méta-analyse publiée en 2019, confirment ces nuances : il n'existe aucune corrélation stable entre la main dominante et les performances créatives. Les différences observées sont faibles, variables selon les tests, et largement influencées par d'autres facteurs : culture, environnement familial, éducation artistique, exposition à la nouveauté.Enfin, le cliché du “génie gaucher” vient aussi de l'histoire : Léonard de Vinci, Picasso, Mozart, ou Jimi Hendrix étaient gauchers, ce qui a renforcé l'idée d'un lien mystérieux entre gaucherie et talent. Mais statistiquement, la majorité des créateurs reconnus sont droitiers — simplement parce qu'ils sont plus nombreux.En somme, les gauchers ne sont pas plus créatifs par nature, mais leur cerveau légèrement différent peut favoriser une pensée moins conventionnelle chez certains individus. La créativité, elle, reste surtout une compétence entraînée, nourrie par la curiosité, l'ouverture et la diversité des expériences — bien plus que par la main que l'on utilise pour écrire.

LEXINGTON, Ky. (October 30, 2025) – Kentucky continues to face one of the highest rates of lung cancer in the nation, but new advances at UK HealthCare are helping doctors shorten the time from diagnosis to life-saving treatment. Through the use of cutting-edge robotic systems, UK surgeons can now perform same-day biopsy and surgery for certain early-stage lung cancers — turning what was once weeks of waiting and anxiety into a single, coordinated procedure. Dr. Shari Meyerson, professor of surgery and division chief of thoracic surgery, and Dr. Mansi Shah, assistant professor in the Division of Thoracic Surgery, are leading this effort at the University of Kentucky. Their team is also the first in Kentucky — and among the first in the region — to perform thoracic procedures using the new single-port da Vinci robotic system, which allows complex operations through one small incision, helping patients recover faster and with less pain.  On this episode of 'Behind the Blue,' Drs. Meyerson and Shah explain how robotic technology is transforming lung-cancer care in Kentucky. They discuss the impact of same-day diagnosis and treatment, the benefits of single-port surgery for quicker recovery and reduced narcotic use, and the importance of encouraging more Kentuckians to take part in routine lung-cancer screening.  "Behind the Blue" is available via a variety of podcast providers, including iTunes and Spotify. Become a subscriber to receive new episodes of "Behind the Blue" each week. UK's latest medical breakthroughs, research, artists and writers will be featured, along with the most important news impacting the university.  "Behind the Blue" is a joint production of the University of Kentucky and UK HealthCare.

Michael speaks with Anthony Vinci, a former CIA officer and the first Chief Technology Officer of the National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency. Anthony discusses his new book, "The Fourth Intelligence Revolution: The Future of Espionage and the Battle to Save America," arguing that AI has launched a revolution where "machines are going to spy on machines." Anthony warns that the new cyber threats mean every American is now a target, demanding a new strategy. He also explains why the U.S. must rethink policy to aggressively engage in economic espionage to counter China's broad surveillance strategy.

High performers know pressure well—but peace is the real advantage. This episode reveals how to keep your excellence without exhaustion, and why performance is no longer who you are—it's a tool you use.What happens when excellence becomes exhaustion? In this episode of The Recalibration, Julie Holly explores the hidden edge of high performance—how to honor the drive that built your success while releasing the pressure that's been quietly costing your peace.High-capacity humans often carry an invisible burden: success that feels heavy. You've mastered focus, discipline, and devotion—but sustaining it has started to feel like survival. Julie unpacks why that happens through the lens of Identity-Level Recalibration (ILR)—the psychology-backed, faith-rooted pathway that transforms performance from pressure into peace.Through story work and neuroscience, Julie explains how misalignment at the identity level keeps the nervous system locked in output mode, confusing productivity with safety. She draws from history and culture—Leonardo da Vinci, Walt Disney, and Serena Williams—to show how mastery without margin eventually breaks down, and why true brilliance requires rhythm, not nonstop output.Listeners will learn that excellence isn't something to escape—it's something to steward. You don't need to dismantle your drive; you just need to direct it. Because performance is no longer who you are—it's a tool you use.ILR isn't another mindset tactic or productivity hack—it's the root-level recalibration that makes every other tool effective again.Today's Micro Recalibration:“Where has my gift for excellence become a grip?” Pause and notice where your strength is trying to control instead of contribute. Awareness is the first step toward sustainable mastery.If this episode gave you language you've been missing, please rate and review the show so more high-capacity humans can find it.

Au début du XIᵉ siècle, bien avant Léonard de Vinci ou les frères Wright, un moine bénédictin anglais nommé Eilmer de Malmesbury rêva de s'élever dans les airs. Né autour de 980, Eilmer vivait dans l'abbaye de Malmesbury, dans le sud-ouest de l'Angleterre, un haut lieu d'érudition où il étudiait les sciences, l'astronomie et les textes antiques. À une époque où l'on croyait encore que voler relevait du sacrilège ou de la magie, son ambition était audacieuse : imiter les oiseaux.Vers 1010, Eilmer décida de passer à l'acte. Inspiré, dit-on, par la lecture du mythe d'Icare et peut-être par des observations de cerfs-volants venus d'Orient, il conçut un système d'ailes articulées, fabriquées avec du bois, du tissu et des plumes. Il les fixa à ses bras et à ses pieds, convaincu qu'en comprenant le mouvement du vent, il pourrait planer comme un faucon. Selon le chroniqueur Guillaume de Malmesbury, qui rapporta son exploit un siècle plus tard, Eilmer monta au sommet d'une tour de l'abbaye — probablement haute d'une vingtaine de mètres — et se jeta dans le vide.Contre toute attente, il vola. Porté par le vent, son étrange machine glissa dans l'air sur environ 200 mètres avant de perdre de la portance et de s'écraser lourdement. Le moine survécut, mais ses deux jambes furent brisées. Il resta infirme pour le reste de ses jours, continuant à vivre dans l'abbaye, sans jamais retenter l'expérience. Il aurait cependant déclaré que son erreur avait été de ne pas ajouter une queue, pour stabiliser son vol, montrant qu'il avait compris avant l'heure une notion fondamentale de l'aérodynamique.L'histoire d'Eilmer de Malmesbury, souvent considérée comme la première tentative documentée de vol humain, mêle légende et vérité. Les chroniqueurs médiévaux, fascinés, le décrivirent comme un esprit visionnaire, témoin d'une époque où la science naissante côtoyait encore le merveilleux.Aujourd'hui, il est célébré comme un précurseur de l'aviation, un rêveur en robe de bure qui osa défier la pesanteur dix siècles avant les pionniers modernes. Son saut, à la fois naïf et génial, symbolise la soif immémoriale de l'humanité : celle de comprendre le ciel… et d'y trouver sa place. Hébergé par Acast.

As AI radically democratizes the world, we're all about to become James Bond — or so says longtime spook watcher (and player) Anthony Vinci. In his new book, The Fourth Intelligence Revolution,, Vinci argues that we must all become spies in order to save America. That's the future of espionage in an age when, at least according to Vinci, the Chinese might be hacking our data to subvert the United States. This “Vinci Code” borrows heavily from the Cold War playbook — paranoia layered upon paranoia layered upon more paranoia. I'm not buying it. But then again, I'm too busy with KEEN ON to be Bond.1. A Fourth Intelligence Revolution Is UnderwayAnthony Vinci argues that global espionage is undergoing a fundamental transformation driven by artificial intelligence and the geopolitical rivalry between the United States and China. Intelligence, he says, is no longer confined to spies and soldiers — it now extends into economics, technology, and even ordinary life.2. Economic Espionage Will Define the Next EraVinci believes America must adapt to a new kind of intelligence competition — one focused on markets, infrastructure, and intellectual property. To keep pace with China, the United States will need to develop capabilities in economic espionage, a domain it has long been reluctant to enter.3. Artificial Intelligence Will Spy on Artificial IntelligenceThe next phase of espionage, Vinci predicts, will be conducted largely by machines. AI will collect, analyze, and even counter other AI systems, creating a world where “our machines will spy on their machines.” The traditional spy-versus-spy rivalry will become algorithm-versus-algorithm.4. Every Citizen Is a TargetIn the digital era, espionage has expanded to include everyone. State and non-state actors alike can collect data, influence behavior, and manipulate information at scale. Vinci warns that individuals — not just governments — must now learn basic intelligence skills to safeguard their privacy and security.5. China Is the Central ChallengeWhile Russia and other autocracies remain active, Vinci views China as the United States' primary intelligence adversary. From TikTok to cyber-hacking, he argues, Beijing seeks to shape global perceptions and exploit American data — a strategy that makes Vinci's The Fourth Intelligence Revolution as much about information as ideology.Keen On America is a reader-supported publication.

Conversaremos con Ángel Benítez sobre cómo distinguir entre los fraudes históricos (como la doble exposición en el auge del espiritismo) y las anomalías visuales que desafían la lógica conocida. Ángel compartirá experiencias que demuestran que la frontera entre lo visible y lo oculto sigue siendo muy delgada. En "Arqueología de los medios", Miguel Herrero se centrará esta semana en los orígenes del cine y los audiovisuales, a través del examen de extraños artefactos ópticos. Nos hablará sobre la "Silla Mundi", un misterioso artilugio supuestamente creado por el nigromante y erudito español Juan de Espina a finales del siglo XVI y principios del XVII. Un sabio que poseía una cámara de maravillas llena de tesoros, que incluían libros únicos, manuscritos de Leonardo da Vinci e instrumentos musicales que él mismo inventó.

Fiorenza Palmerio Gancia"Il terzo luogo"Il mio educatore Gabriele D'AnnunzioNino Aragno Editorewww.ninoaragnoeditore.itIl Terzo Luogo è quel luogo, al di là dello spazio e del tempo, che custodiamo dentro di noi e che sperimentiamo quando, abbandonando il nostro ego, ci connettiamo con qualcosa di più grande che possiamo definire come il divino, la coscienza illimitata, Dio, il Brahman delle Upanishad, il nostro Sé superiore. Quando accediamo a questo spazio, luogo di salvezza e di guarigione, affrontiamo meglio le difficoltà della vita e troviamo una bussola che ci guida saggiamente nel nostro cammino.Fiorenza Palmerio Gancia , laureata in lingue e letterature straniere e moderne, vive e lavora a Torino nel campo dei gioielli e delle pietre preziose. È appassionata di Gabriele d'Annunzio. Partendo da Gabriele d'Annunzio come maestro di vita, amante della bellezza, della natura, della poesia, dell'arte e degli antichi testi indiani, Fiorenza Palmerio Gancia in un momento difficile della sua vita, dopo aver perso la sua adorata sorella Alessia, ritrova la forza nelle poesie del poeta, nei disegni e nei dipinti di Leonardo da Vinci, tra le pagine eterne della Divina Commedia e delle antiche Upanishad fino ad arrivare ai simboli contemporanei creati da Michelangelo Pistoletto. Quando raggiungiamo questo stato di elevata coscienza, quello che Dante avrebbe definito con il termine “Trasumanar”, sviluppiamo un'intelligenza spirituale, o creativa, quell'unione tra mente e cuore, che rappresenta il massimo grado di intelligenza che l'uomo possa raggiungere e che oggi più che mai ha il compito di preservare.IL POSTO DELLE PAROLEascoltare fa pensarewww.ilpostodelleparole.itDiventa un supporter di questo podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/il-posto-delle-parole--1487855/support.IL POSTO DELLE PAROLEascoltare fa pensarehttps://ilpostodelleparole.it/

Part of the Ambrosian Library in Milan, Italy, the Ambrosian Art Gallery was founded along with the library by the celebrated Cardinal Federico Borromini in 1609 to house his extensive collection of manuscripts, books, and paintings. The collection today includes “The Portrait of a Musician” attributed by many to Leonardo da Vinci, the “Cartoon for the School of Athens” by Raphael, and “The Basket of Fruit” by Caravaggio. In addition to these great masterpieces, the Ambrosian Art Gallery is also home to the world largest collection of drawings and writings by Leonardo da Vinci, known as the Codex Atlanticus.

In this episode of Biographers in Conversation, Dr Stephen J. Campbell chats with Dr Gabriella Kelly-Davies about his choices while crafting Leonardo da Vinci: An Untraceable Life. Here's what you'll discover in this episode: Why Stephen Campbell resists the urge to create a seamless narrative and instead embraces the mystery, silence and gaps in Leonardo da Vinci's story. How the book's structure reflects the fragmented reality of Leonardo's life. The origin of the book's title and how it challenges traditional biographical expectations by leaning into ambiguity. How Campbell uses philosophical chapter titles and historical nuance to explore mythmaking and modern interpretations of Leonardo da Vinci. Why Campbell avoids speculation and instead invites readers to sit with what we don't know, treating uncertainty as revealing rather than inconvenient. The biographer's role as a curator of questions rather than authority, a model of life writing that prioritises transparency over certainty. The myths the book gently dismantles, from the lonely genius trope to misconceptions about Leonardo's inventions and personality. How An Untraceable Life encourages us to rethink what biography can be and to rediscover awe in the unresolvable aspects of a life.

UGI Corporation's Global Enterprise Lead, Learning & Development Wendy Laverty shares how “Breakthrough Thinking” is reshaping leadership, structure, and strategy at UGI. She explains how a series of workshops with team members has encouraged intentional reflection, language, and a culture of curiosity that's unlocking new solutions and sustainable change. Show Notes:UGI's Wendy Laverty shares many inspirational and actionable ways to inspire better thinking that leads to sustainable change. Her key points include: Breakthrough Thinking is intentional, not accidental. Leaders at UGI are asking “I wonder why/if/how…” to challenge assumptions, see blind spots, and design new pathways instead of defaulting to past practice.Language shapes outcomes. Words “get caught like colds.” The way leaders speak influences mindsets, behaviors, and results—so UGI is practicing saying the future they intend to create, then aligning actions to it.Structure enables speed. AmeriGas (a UGI company) shifted to a decentralized, pod-based model—returning authority to frontline managers, running weekly problem-solving calls, and using focus groups to surface gaps and improve the system.Trust + feedback fuel change.Transparent, authentic feedback sessions—and a bias toward curiosity over criticism—are building a culture where learning is continuous and leaders model the behavior they want to see.Lead with “both–and” and look ahead to AI-first learning. UGI equips leaders to hold healthy polarities (e.g., candor and diplomacy) and is exploring AI-first learning approaches to personalize development and drive measurable business results. Wendy recommends the following books:Navigating Polarities Using Thinking TransformationLearning RevolutionPowered by Learning earned Awards of Distinction in the Podcast/Audio and Business Podcast categories from The Communicator Awards and a Gold and Silver Davey Award.

Leonardo da Vinci non è stato solo il genio universale del Rinascimento, ma anche un personaggio ricco di eccentricità e abitudini sorprendenti che lo rendevano unico nel suo tempo. Dietro al creatore della Gioconda, dell'Ultima Cena e di incredibili invenzioni, si celava un uomo dalle manie peculiari, dalle paure inaspettate e dai comportamenti bizzarri che ancora oggi ci stupiscono. Scopriamo insieme dieci curiosità straordinarie che rivelano il lato più umano e divertente di questo genio irripetibile. 10 Curiosità Sorprendenti su Leonardo da Vinci Il Mancino che Scriveva al Contrario: La Scrittura Speculare Una delle caratteristiche più affascinanti di Leonardo era la sua scrittura speculare: scriveva da destra a sinistra, producendo un testo leggibile soltanto attraverso uno specchio. Questa peculiarità non era dovuta al desiderio di mantenere segreti i suoi progetti, come molti credono, ma aveva origini puramente pratiche. Essendo mancino naturale, Leonardo scriveva così per evitare di sporcare l'inchiostro fresco con la mano mentre procedeva nella scrittura. Tuttavia, questa abitudine non era sempre costante: spesso iniziava a scrivere normalmente da sinistra a destra, poi si fermava improvvisamente, si accorgeva dell'errore e ricominciava al contrario, creando documenti con scritture miste che confondevano i suoi assistenti. I suoi quaderni sono pieni di annotazioni rapide in scrittura speculare, schizzi tecnici con descrizioni al contrario e persino liste della spesa scritte come codici segreti. Questa caratteristica ha contribuito a creare il mito di Leonardo come figura misteriosa e criptata, quando in realtà si trattava semplicemente di una soluzione ingegnosa a un problema quotidiano. Il Vegetariano Anatomista: Una Contraddizione Affascinante Leonardo rappresentava una contraddizione vivente: era un vegetariano convinto che non sopportava di vedere soffrire gli animali, eppure dedicava gran parte del suo tempo a sezionare cadaveri umani per i suoi studi anatomici. Questa apparente incoerenza rivelava in realtà la complessità del suo carattere e la sua sete insaziabile di conoscenza. Acquistava regolarmente uccelli in gabbia ai mercati di Milano e Firenze, non per possederli, ma per il puro piacere di liberarli e osservarne il volo. Studiava attentamente i loro movimenti per i suoi progetti di macchine volanti, ma il gesto aveva anche un significato più profondo: rappresentava la sua filosofia di rispetto per ogni forma di vita. Parallelamente, conduceva dissezioni notturne su cadaveri ottenuti attraverso canali non sempre ufficiali. I suoi studi anatomici erano così avanzati e precisi che anticiparono di secoli molte scoperte mediche. La popolazione locale era spesso terrorizzata da questo personaggio che di giorno predicava amore per gli animali e di notte si dedicava a pratiche considerate macabre e sacrileghe. Durante i suoi studi anatomici, Leonardo scoprì particolari del sistema circolatorio, della struttura muscolare e del funzionamento degli organi che erano completamente sconosciuti ai medici del suo tempo. I suoi disegni anatomici sono ancora oggi considerati capolavori di precisione scientifica e artistica. Il Maestro dei Progetti Incompiuti: L'Arte di Non Finire Leonardo era famoso per la sua incapacità di completare i progetti iniziati. Questa caratteristica lo accompagnò per tutta la vita e fu fonte di infinite frustrazioni per i suoi mecenati, che investivano somme considerevoli senza mai vedere l'opera finita. Il caso più emblematico fu il Monumento Equestre a Francesco Sforza, commissionato dal Duca di Milano. Leonardo lavorò al progetto per ben sedici anni, realizzando studi dettagliatissimi, modelli in scala e persino un modello completo in argilla alto sette metri. Tuttavia, il bronzo destinato alla statua fu requisito per fabbricare cannoni durante la guerra, e il modello in argilla fu successivamente distrutto dai soldati franc...

From SEAL to Studio: The Art of Grit with Justin Hughes In this week's episode of the Team Never Quit Podcast, Marcus, Melanie, and Hunter sit down with Justin Hughes — former Navy SEAL turned professional oil painter — whose journey from the battlefield to the art studio embodies the essence of transformation, discipline, and creative courage. Based out of Charleston, South Carolina, Justin has redefined what it means to serve and to create. As a self-taught representational artist, he channels the lessons, emotions, and intensity of his time in the SEAL Teams into his paintings, merging the warrior spirit with the sensitivity of the fine arts. His mission is to bridge two seemingly distant worlds — the world of combat and the world of creativity — revealing that both demand vision, perseverance, and heart. Listeners will hear how Justin's childhood in Southeast Asia, and a fateful encounter with Lone Survivor sparked a dream that would change his life forever. His story takes us through the rigors of SEAL training, moments of doubt and triumph, and the eventual transition from military service to artistry — a path shaped by struggle, purpose, and redemption. Through his brushstrokes, Justin explores what it means to be a modern warrior — one who fights not only on the battlefield but also in the soul. Drawing comparisons to the renaissance genius Leonardo da Vinci, Hughes uses his art to express the beauty within discipline and the strength found in vulnerability.  In this episode you will hear: • My dad was a Huey pilot. (8:44) • I grew up all over Southeast Asia (9:20) • I was thinking: Whatever is gonna be the hardest thing to do in the military; wherever that realm is, those are the people that want to be in those jobs the most. That's gotta be where my people are at. (14:41) •  One of the biggest misconceptions of BUDs is you can't just show up and not quit. You still have to be a good team guy. You still have to do the work. You gotta be a performer. You gotta be a pro. We're looking for the whole man. (21:05) • For those of you who don't know what pool competency is. It's the hardest single test in BUDs. (37:55) • When I first started painting, I didn't know any artists. I didn't know anything about art. (62:48) • [Melanie] Q: What's your goal with art? A: Just to be better every day. And continue to provide paintings that are meaningful to people. To glorify the Lord through whatever work I'm doing. (74:30) • I'm still saying “Hooyah! like turrets. (75:25) • It takes a lot of bad work. You've gotta be patient with the process. Sometimes a really good thing will look really bad for a long time for a long time before you can polish it up and make it into something beautiful. So… don't quit.

In this episode, Greg revisits Warren Buffett's timeless wisdom to uncover who's “swimming naked” in today's market. Drawing on Rob Arnott and Edward McQuarrie's recent CFA research on risk and investor psychology, he explains how both fear of loss and fear of missing out drive market behavior far more than models admit. Greg dissects several headline-grabbing products, from “high income” S&P 500 ETFs and 77% yielding Nvidia options funds to the Dual Directional Buffer ETF and the “Magnificent Seven Snowball,” revealing how they offer the illusion of safety or income while eroding long-term returns. He closes with a Buffett-style case study on Occidental Petroleum and Berkshire Hathaway's recent deal, underscoring the power of simple, steady cash flow over engineered complexity.As Leonardo da Vinci said, “Simplicity is the ultimate sophistication,” and it is also one of the surest ways to compound wealth. Topics Covered[00:00:41] – Who's swimming naked?

After three (very full!) weeks of Shakespeare, we reluctantly leave England for Italy—and step into the vivid world of Renaissance art. Ted Gioia's Immersive Humanities List serves up a refreshing change of scene with Giorgio Vasari's Lives of the Artists and Benvenuto Cellini's Autobiography.Both were brand-new to me, and both were a delight. Vasari, himself an accomplished painter and architect, profiles the greats—Giotto, Botticelli, Leonardo da Vinci, Raphael, and Michelangelo—not as remote geniuses but as human beings: witty, flawed, brilliant, and endlessly ambitious. His writing reminded me of Suetonius' Lives of the Caesars—a chronicle of greatness, but with warmth instead of gossip. Vasari captures not just the artists but the culture that shaped them: a world where beauty was power, art was currency, and patrons competed to prove their taste and influence.Each artist glows in Vasari's telling. Giotto, kind and devoted to the Church; Botticelli, charming and hopeless with money; Leonardo, the restless perfectionist who could give a lizard wings; Raphael, the graceful imitator who died too young; Michelangelo, the divine genius who could never quite trust the world that adored him. Reading Lives left me wondering how Florence could possibly have produced so many masters at once—and wishing we could live, just for a moment, in a world that valued art that deeply.Then came Benvenuto Cellini, the goldsmith, sculptor, and self-styled rogue whose Autobiography reads like an adventure novel. He's talented, impulsive, funny, and so honest that you can't help but like him. Cellini's stories—his fiery temper, his father's musical ambitions, his devotion to Michelangelo—make the Renaissance feel wonderfully alive.This week's title, “True Colors,” fits perfectly. Vasari and Cellini reveal the true colors of art and ambition—divine inspiration, human pride, and all the messy brilliance in between.This is a year-long challenge!

The Trump administration is deploying federal troops into Chicago, claiming ongoing lawlessness. Illinois Governor JB Pritzker described the move as “outrageous and un-American.” Violet Miller, a reporter at the Chicago Sun-Times, explains what’s going on. A new Supreme Court term begins today, and justices are set to decide on cases with massive implications for Trump's authority over government. Maureen Groppe, Supreme Court reporter at USA Today, discusses them. The government shutdown continues with no signs of progress on talks. Lauren Weber at the Washington Post talks through some of the Medicare provisions that have become casualties of the deadlock. Plus, mediators are gathering after Hamas agreed in principle to parts of Trump’s peace deal, Japan is set for its first woman prime minister, and how sketches by Leonardo da Vinci led archaeologists to a big discovery. Today’s episode was hosted by Shumita Basu.
