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.
Wirework lover and wife guy Paul W.S. Anderson tries his hand at an adventure classic with 2011's The Three Musketeers! How is he going to find a way to add Matrix fights, laser traps and exploding airships into this one? Starring Ray Stevenson, Luke Evans, Orlando Bloom, Mads Mikkelsen, Chrisoph Waltz, and, you guessed it, Milla Jovovich. After a successful heist in Venice, the musketeers and Milady manage to steal Leonardo la Vinci's famous airship plans. Athos (Matthew Macfadyen) uses his classic scuba ninja skills, Aramis (Evans) his Assassin's Creed cloak-wearing skills, and Porthos (Stevenson) his getting into prison on purpose skills. However, tragedy strikes when Milady, with the help of the Duke of Buckingham (Bloom) betrays the team and steals the plans for the duke. One year later, D'Artagnan (Logan Lerman) is a Gascon bumpkin heading to the big city to start duels with everyone he meets. After picking a fight with Rochefort (Mikkelsen), the best swordsman in France, he picks fights with the 2nd-4th best swordsmen in France: the Three Musketeers. But they become friends anyway, and engage in a highly bastardized version of the book's plot in order to thwart the evil plan of Cardinal Richelieu (Waltz). Will the team accomplish whatever they were trying to do? Will they integrate a bunch of 2010s style 3D elements? Will an airship be shot at by an even bigger airship? You'll just have to listen to find out!

#407 Teleporno - Rich has some big questions to ask about a hymn that seemingly most people in his audience don't remember, so maybe he won't do an hour long comedy show about it then. His guest is internet sensation and fab stand up Eleanor Morton. They talk about Leonardo da Vinci's hate mail, the surprise appearance of Pan in Wind in the Willows, the difficulties of getting a pirate sitcom off the ground (or on to the waves), the stinking bins of the Edinburgh Fringe, why crippling social anxiety doesn't stop comedians getting on stage and why the pandemic was the best thing that could happen (for some people, not everyone apparently) and how there are no mentally ill comedians in Richard's generation.SUPPORT THE SHOW!Watch our TWITCH CHANNELBecome a badger and see extra content at our WEBSITE See details of the RHLSTP TOUR DATES Buy DVDs and books from GO FASTER STRIPE Hosted on Acast.

När Leonardo da Vinci dog 1519 låg tusentals sidor med anteckningar kring honom: spegelvända rader om konst, anatomi, flygmaskiner och vattnets rörelser. Han hyllades som ett universalgeni redan under sin livstid, men bakom myten fanns en människa som ständigt påbörjade – och sällan avslutade. Vem var han egentligen? Bildningsbyrån söker svaren i hans egna ord och skisser.
Devocional do dia 29/09/2025 com o Tema: “Obra inacabada”Conta-se que, certo dia, Leonardo da Vinci começou um novo quadro. Escolheu o assunto, determinou a perspectiva, fez o esboço, aplicou as cores e desenvolveu o pano de fundo. Então, não se sabe por quê, ele parou, estando a pintura ainda inacabada. Chamando um dos seus alunos, da Vinci pediu-lhe que a terminasse. O aluno ficou apavorado.LEITURA BÍBLICA: 1 João 4.13-16 Disse Jesus [aos discípulos]: “Vão pelo mundo todo e preguem o evangelho a todas as pessoas” (Mc 16.15).

Kencan Dengan Tuhan - Rabu, 24 September 2025Bacaan: "Ia membuat segala sesuatu indah pada waktunya, bahkan Ia memberikan kekekalan dalam hati mereka. Tetapi manusia tidak dapat menyelami pekerjaan yang dilakukan Allah dari awal sampal akhir." (Pengkhotbah 3:11)Renungan: Leonardo da Vinci berasal dari keluarga broken home. Ia adalah anak yang lahir di luar nikah. la tidak pernah melihat ibunya. Ayahnya kemudian menikah dengan wanita berumur 26 tahun. Dua belas tahun pertama la diasuh oleh neneknya, dan setelah itu pengasuhan diserahkan kepada dua orang tantenya. Selanjutnya ia dibesarkan oleh ayah dan ibu tirinya. Ayahnya bekerja di bidang hukum dan terpandang, maka ayahnya tidak mengijinkan Leonardo bermain dengan anak-anak di kampung tersebut dan ia kehilangan masa kanak-kanak yang indah.Dengan awal kehidupan seperti di atas, mungkin kita akan berpikir bahwa Leonardo akan menjadi anak bodoh dengan sikap anti sosial. Tetapi ternyata ia memiliki keingintahuan yang besar. Ia senang berjalan-jalan di desanya, melihat, mendengar dan memperhatikan banyak tanaman, binatang, Fosil, kayu dsb. Hingga pada akhirnya ia dikenal sebagai seorang astronom terkemuka, ahli geologi, insinyur, ahli botani, ahli anatomi, penulis terkenal, ilustrator dan psikolog. Awal kehidupan ataupun masa lalu yang buruk tidak selalu membuat seseorang bermasa depan suram. Dengan perjuangan, kerja keras dan iman pada Tuhan, kita bisa meraih yang lebih baik. Bersama Tuhan, kita bisa mengubah keadaan yang buruk menjadi baik. Bahkan kutuk pun bisa diubah menjadi berkat. Tetapi kita juga harus berjuang dengan gigih dan bekerja keras. Jauhkan anggapan bahwa kita sudah ditakdirkan hidup menderita, atau kita tidak mungkin berhasil seperti orang lain. Berusahalah, bersama Tuhan tidak ada yang mustahil. Tuhan Yesus memberkati.Doa:Tuhan Yesus, aku bersyukur pada-Mu karena Engkau mengetahui seluk beluk kehidupanku, masa laluku, kekecewaanku, luka hatiku, dan pandangan orang lain terhadapku. Telusurilah kembali semua itu, dan hapuskanlah bila masih ada hal-hal yang membuat hatiku tidak nyaman dengan hal itu semua. Ubahlah semua pemikiran negatif tentang diriku. Bantu aku untuk menatap ke depan, bahwa bersama dengan Engkau segala sesuatu yang buruk menurut pemandangan mataku dan orang lain dapat dan telah Kau ubah menjadi baik. Amin. (Dod).

We're celebrating 100 episodes of Powered by Learning with a special conversation with past podcast guests Dr. Kristal Walker, Marjorie Van Roon, Ajay Pangarkar, Robyn DeFelice, and Connie Malamed. Together, we reflect on the past five years in L&D—AI's promise (and limits), the rise of data-informed decisions, accountability for performance and ROI, and the renewed push for personalized, human-centered learning. Listen for an energizing look at where L&D is headed—and how your organization can evolve. Show Notes: Our podcast guests and co-hosts share practical perspectives you can use now while looking ahead to the future of L&D. AI is a powerful assistant and creative partner—use it to draft content, visuals, questions, and interactions, but always apply expert human review to ensure accuracy and instructional soundness. - Connie Malamed, Mastering Instructional Design Community The real shift is toward data and performance—L&D must tighten its partnership with the business, lead with data-informed decisions, and mature its advisory role. - Robyn DeFelice, Learning Strategist Treat AI as an accelerator, not a replacement—let it handle the basics so teams can focus on human-centered elements; expect growing emphasis on professional upskilling and certifications to keep a “seat at the table.” - Dr. Kristal Walker, VP Employee Wellbeing, Sweetwater Accountability is rising—L&D must show performance and financial impact. Build financial literacy to demonstrate value or risk losing resources to other priorities. - Ajay Pangarkar, Author & Speaker AI boosts brainstorming, editing, translation, and recommendations, but watch for bias, hallucinations, and cultural nuance; learners prefer shorter, visual, sometimes in-person experiences, and Gen Alpha will amplify demand for interactive, gamified learning. - Marjorie Van Roon, Senior Manager, Learning & Development, Best Buy Canada The d'Vinci co-hosts also shared some important key points: AI is still in its early days for L&D—what matters most is balancing ethical use with creating better, higher-impact learning. Instructional designers must remain the “human check and balance” to avoid bias, hallucinations, or copyright issues. - Luke Kempski, d'Vinci CEOAI works best as a creative partner and brainstorming tool. At d'Vinci, teams use it across functions—from design to strategy to development—but always within clear governance policies that align with client expectations. - Mason Scuderi, d'Vinci PresidentThe rising learner demand for convenient, relevant, and personal training is pushing L&D professionals to grow their own design and consulting skills. The biggest opportunity ahead is balancing business impact with meaningful learner experiences.

RH, anciennement Restoration Hardware, est souvent surnommée « l'IKEA des riches ». L'expression peut surprendre, mais elle résume assez bien le modèle singulier de cette marque californienne, qui vient de frapper un grand coup en ouvrant une immense galerie de sept étages sur les Champs-Élysées.Une expérience plus qu'une boutiqueNée en 1979 en Californie comme simple magasin d'accessoires de maison, RH est devenue la première chaîne américaine de mobilier haut de gamme. À Paris, elle s'installe dans un hôtel particulier transformé en véritable décor de théâtre : canapés à plus de 14.000 euros, lits en pierre, luminaires monumentaux, terrasses de verre, bar lounge et restaurant panoramique servant caviar et salades signatures. On est loin du magasin de meubles classique : l'idée est de plonger le visiteur dans un univers où mobilier, art et restauration fusionnent.Un modèle économique originalLà où IKEA vend du mobilier à bas prix et en libre-service, RH applique une logique inverse : prix très élevés, distribution sélective et surtout un programme d'adhésion premium, la « Grey Card ». Depuis 2016, ce système d'abonnement remplace les promotions traditionnelles : les clients paient une cotisation annuelle pour accéder à des tarifs privilégiés et à des services exclusifs. En 2024, près de 400.000 membres rapportaient à l'entreprise entre 90 et 175 millions de dollars par an. Cette stratégie fidélise, stabilise les revenus et installe RH dans une image de luxe récurrent, à la manière d'un club fermé.Entre admiration et critiquesCe positionnement attire les célébrités et séduit une clientèle en quête d'expériences haut de gamme. Mais il suscite aussi de vives critiques dans le milieu du design. Pour certains spécialistes, RH n'est pas un artisan mais un industriel de la « fast déco » : des produits fabriqués en série, parfois inspirés de créations existantes, loin du savoir-faire européen traditionnel. Derrière le storytelling luxueux – références à Léonard de Vinci, vocabulaire emprunté au monde de l'art – certains voient surtout une confusion entretenue entre mobilier standardisé et pièces uniques.L'IKEA des richesC'est ici que la comparaison prend tout son sens. Comme IKEA, RH crée des environnements immersifs et propose une gamme complète de mobilier et d'accessoires, pensés pour habiller entièrement un intérieur. Mais au lieu d'être accessibles à tous, les prix sont astronomiques, et l'expérience se rapproche plus d'une galerie d'art que d'un entrepôt. En d'autres termes : RH applique au luxe les recettes d'IKEA – théâtralisation, univers total, marque forte – tout en s'adressant à une clientèle fortunée.Ainsi, « l'IKEA des riches » est une formule qui illustre parfaitement ce paradoxe : un concept populaire dans sa structure, mais réservé à une élite dans sa pratique.

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.

Next Level Soul with Alex Ferrari: A Spirituality & Personal Growth Podcast
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.
Depuis des années, les sociétés concessionnaires d'autoroutes (Vinci, Eiffage, APRR) encaissent des milliards d'euros grâce aux péages… mais à quel prix pour les usagers ? Et surtout : pourquoi l'État a-t-il privatisé en premier lieu ?Contrats opaques, profits monstres, pantouflage... Décryptons le scandale des autoroutes françaises.
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
Herzlich willkommen zu Ihrem morgendlichen Newsletter! „Wir schaffen das“ – mit diesem Slogan wollte Angela Merkel 2015 zur Bewältigung der Flüchtlingskrise motivieren. Was seither erreicht wurde und was nicht, betrachten wir in unserem ersten Artikel. Im zweiten Beitrag fragen wir, ob Leonardo da Vinci bereits 200 Jahre vor Isaac Newton die Schwerkraft entdeckt hat. Schließlich beschäftigen wir uns mit den Vor- und Nachteilen der Atomkraft und entdecken dabei auch überraschende Vorteile.
Luke 9:18–20 (ESV) Now it happened that as he was praying alone, the disciples were with him. And he asked them, “Who do the crowds say that I am?” And they answered, “John the Baptist. But others say, Elijah, and others, that one of the prophets of old has risen.” Then he said to them, “But who do you say that I am?” And Peter answered, “The Christ of God.” Matthew 16:13–17 (ESV) Now when Jesus came into the district of Caesarea Philippi, he asked his disciples, “Who do people say that the Son of Man is?” And they said, “Some say John the Baptist, others say Elijah, and others Jeremiah or one of the prophets.” He said to them, “But who do you say that I am?” Simon Peter replied, “You are the Christ, the Son of the living God.” And Jesus answered him, “Blessed are you, Simon Bar-Jonah! For flesh and blood has not revealed this to you, but my Father who is in heaven. What Is Revelation?General Revelation: disclosure of truth through nature, history, and the human conscience. Supernatural Revelation: the uncovering through the spirit.2 Kings 6:15–17 (ESV) When the servant of the man of God rose early in the morning and went out, behold, an army with horses and chariots was all around the city. And the servant said, “Alas, my master! What shall we do?” He said, “Do not be afraid, for those who are with us are more than those who are with them.” Then Elisha prayed and said, “O LORD, please open his eyes that he may see.” So the LORD opened the eyes of the young man, and he saw, and behold, the mountain was full of horses and chariots of fire all around Elisha.Why Is Revelation Necessary?General Revelation Leads To OpinionsAnd they said, “Some say John the Baptist, others say Elijah, and others Jeremiah or one of the prophets.”And they answered, “John the Baptist. But others say, Elijah, and others, that one of the prophets of old has risen.”Jesus Impact Is Obvious - General Revelation/Opinions:Religion: Christianity, the religion founded on the teachings of Jesus, is the largest religion in the world, with approximately 2.3 billion adherents, making up nearly one-third of the global population.Global Recognition: Jesus is recognized not only in Christianity but also in other religions like Islam, where he is regarded as a prophet. This highlights his broader historical and cultural impact across different belief systems.Art and Literature: Jesus has been a central figure in Western art, literature, and music for centuries. Countless works in these fields have been inspired by his life and teachings, including masterpieces by artists such as Michelangelo and Leonardo da Vinci.Holidays and Festivals: Christmas and Easter, two of the most widely celebrated holidays globally, commemorate Jesus's birth and resurrection, respectively, highlighting his cultural significance.Influence on Laws and Ethics: Many modern legal systems and ethical frameworks are influenced by Christian values derived from Jesus's teachings, such as the emphasis on compassion, forgiveness, and the sanctity of life.Social Movements: Jesus's teachings on love, justice, and equality have inspired numerous social movements, including the abolition of slavery, civil rights movements, and contemporary social justice efforts.Phrases and Sayings: Many common phrases in English and other languages stem from Jesus's teachings (e.g., "turn the other cheek," "the Good Samaritan"), demonstrating his impact on language and moral discourse.Education and Healthcare: Many universities, hospitals, and charitable organizations were founded by Christians inspired by Jesus's teachings, which have had a lasting positive effect on society.Continued Relevance: His teachings and parables are referenced in diverse contexts, from philosophy and ethics to psychology and conflict resolution. Many people across various cultures find relevance in his messages, irrespective of religious beliefs.A Supernatural Revelation Is Necessary To Know GodJohn 6:44 (ESV) No one can come to me unless the Father who sent me draws him. And I will raise him up on the last day.1 Corinthians 2:14 (ESV) The natural person does not accept the things of the Spirit of God, for they are folly to him, and he is not able to understand them because they are spiritually discerned.How Does Revelation Happen? Proverbs 20:27 (ESV) The spirit of man is the lamp of the Lord, searching all his innermost parts.Genesis 1:2 (ESV) The earth was without form and void, and darkness was over the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God was hovering over the face of the waters.John 12:32 (ESV) And I, when I am lifted up from the earth, will draw all people to myself.”John 14:26 (ESV) But the Helper, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in my name, he will teach you all things and bring to your remembrance all that I have said to you.Revelation ≠ Response1 Corinthians 9:27 (ESV) But I discipline my body and keep it under control, lest after preaching to others I myself should be disqualified.James 2:17 (ESV) So also faith by itself, if it does not have works, is dead.Romans 10:9 (ESV) because, if you confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved.Revelation 20:12, 15 (ESV) And I saw the dead, great and small, standing before the throne, and books were opened. Then another book was opened, which is the book of life. And the dead were judged by what was written in the books, according to what they had done… And if anyone's name was not found written in the book of life, he was thrown into the lake of fire.
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.

Préconisée pour les enfants et les personnes âgées, la sieste a parfois mauvaise réputation pour ceux qui ont la malchance d'être entre les deux âges. Baisse de la productivité ou tout simplement perte de temps, nos sociétés éprises de performance ont tendance à regarder les « siesteurs » d'un mauvais œil, en particulier dans le monde du travail. (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. Preuve que la sieste n'empêche ni la créativité ni les carrières politiques. Sans nourrir forcément les plus grandes ambitions, pourquoi s'adonner aux petits plaisirs de la sieste ? Comment profiter de sa sieste sans passer pour un paresseux ? Avec : Sébastien Spitzer, écrivain et essayiste, enseignant à Sciences Po, auteur de Petite philosophie de la sieste (Éditions de La Martinière, 2025). Nicolas Goarant, expert sommeil de la Fondation Jean Jaurès et auteur du livre Le sommeil malmené (L'Aube, 2020). Un nouvel épisode de notre série Le succès des repats réalisée par Charlie Dupiot. Le portrait de Vanessa Arago, la chimiste des eaux gabonaises. Ils et elles sont originaires d'Afrique centrale et ont décidé de rentrer chez eux pour contribuer au développement de leur pays... C'est le moment du « Succès des Repats » ! Vanessa Arago est revenue au Gabon, il y a 10 ans. Avec un père ingénieur en pétrochimie, elle baigne dans la chimie depuis toute petite. En 2018, elle a lancé son laboratoire, appelé « Omilab », à Libreville. Notre reporter Charlie Dupiot l'a rencontrée sur place, alors que Vanessa Arago et son équipe s'apprêtent à mener une analyse.

Stéphane Bern raconte, en ce vendredi, non pas le dernier repas du Christ avec ses apôtres, mais la célébrissime peinture que le génie Léonard de Vinci, aussi imprévisible qu'insaisissable, en a fait : la Cène, l'immense chef-d'œuvre de la Renaissance et l'une des œuvres d'art les plus mythiques – et mystiques – de tous les temps… En quoi la vision de La Cène de Léonard de Vinci est-elle complètement nouvelle ? Comment a-t-il réussi à rendre “vivante” son œuvre ? Comment expliquer qu'autant d'énigmes continuent de l'entourer ?

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.

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.
