Episodio 69 - Wassily Kandinsky e Landschaft bei Kochel
_Datato al 1902-1903 l’olio intitolato Landschaft bei Kochel, ed esposto alla Fondazione Gabriele e Anna Braglia nell’ambito della mostra dedicata ai Maestri dell’Espressionismo, è un esempio emblematico della pittura di Kandinsky di questo periodo. Il dipinto raffigura un paesaggio quasi incontaminato, completamente immerso e dominato dai diversi toni del verde, dove l’unico, piccolo accenno ad una presenza umana è conferito da una casetta rossa che si staglia in lontananza tra le distese erbose. Ma a colpire in maniera speciale è lo stile della pennellata, rappresentativo di un Kandinsky ai suoi esordi: il colore è stato applicato in modo spesso e pastoso in m...

The Power of Mattering with Zach Mercurio
What happens when you realize you matter? In this episode, Kevin talks with Zach Mercurio about the often-overlooked human need to feel important and how leaders at all levels can foster this through everyday interactions. Zach explains how his early research with custodial staff showed that small, intentional moments—like being seen, acknowledged, and validated—are the building blocks of meaning at work. These "moments of mattering," he says, aren't about big gestures but about real human connection. Kevin and Zach also explore the link between mattering and trust, the challenge of staying focused in today's distracted world, and how...

Episodio 61 - René Magritte e La recherche de l'absolu
“Tutto ciò che vediamo nasconde un’altra cosa; noi abbiamo sempre voglia di vedere ciò che è nascosto da ciò che vediamo”. È il 1964 quando René Magritte, maestro del Surrealismo, riesce a riassumere in poche parole le sue opere uniche ed eccezionali, che stimolano a riflettere sulla realtà, ad andare oltre le apparenze, per cercare di svelarne i significati nascosti, sconvolgendo, con i suoi quadri, l’idea stessa di rappresentazione della realtà e indagando sulla differenza tra ciò che le immagini riproducono, i nostri occhi vedono, e il linguaggio pittorico dice.Blue Paint - Atla...

Os metais pesados são elementos químicos que podem ser definidos por sua alta capacidade de reagirem com outras substâncias químicas e também por não poderem ser modificados ou destruídos, portanto são definidos como bio-acumulativos. Na tabela periódica, os metais pesados estão situados entre o Cobre (Cu) e o Chumbo (Pb). Esses metais são utilizados pelas indústrias navais, indústrias de baterias e pilhas, na siderurgia, na metalúrgica e até em alguns inseticidas que, por sua vez são utilizados de maneira irregular por muitos agricultores.

TMR 053 – The Devil's Advocate
This week on Total Movie Recall, it’s Steve’s turn to not get it when Ryan forces him to snooze this way through the 1997 hambone, The Devil’s Advocate. This movie has it all -- a grand guignol of sex, violence, operatic depictions of Hell and Satan, Keanu swinging and missing, Pacino putting his blood pressure medication to the test -- and yet, somehow, it’s still boring! Please don’t waste Steve’s time with these faux-provocations. Show him something really controversial, like a basketball game. The Devil's Advocate (1997) d. Taylor Hackford
