From 🇵🇱 Raport o stanie świata Dariusza Rosiaka, published at 2025-12-01 16:00

"Polka. A word in which life resides. I clung to it like a promise" – writes Grażyna Plebanek, the only granddaughter of her grandmother, Apolonia Machczyńska-Świątek. Apolonia Machczyńska-Świątek hid Jews during World War II who managed to escape the liquidation of the Kock ghetto. In January 1943, she was shot by the Germans. Thanks to the testimony of one of the rescued Jewish women, Rywka Goldfinger, she was honored with the title of Righteous Among the Nations. Much has been written and said about Apolonia, called Pola by her loved ones. Always in the context of her death — a martyr's, monumental death. But Grażyna Plebanek wrote a book about her life. Although, as she admits, it was difficult: "Because grandmother died many times. In Annopol, at the place of her execution. In a German's testimony. In reports. On stage." The key to writing a story about her grandmother in the light of her life, not in the shadow of her death, was to free her history from the tragic myth in which she did not decide her own fate, but was sacrificed. Grażyna Plebanek followed the trail of words and sentences that contained movement and life. That is why her book "Pola. The Hidden Life of Apolonia Machczyńska-Świątek" is best discussed in motion. That's exactly what we did, arranging a walk around Brussels, the city where the author has lived for 20 years. The story of Brussels – a city in motion, constantly rebuilding, bustling, noisy, and captivating – intertwines with the story of the life of Apolonia, Pola, the Polish woman.

Using Red Light to Improve Metabolism & the Harmful Effects of LEDs | Dr. Glen Jeffery

From 🇺🇸 Huberman Lab, published at 2025-12-01 09:00

Dr. Glen Jeffery, PhD, is a professor of neuroscience at University College London and a leading expert on how different colors (wavelengths) of light impact cellular, organ and overall health. He explains that long-wavelength light (red, near-infrared and infrared) can enter the body and brain to enhance mitochondrial function and thereby improve metabolism, eyesight, blood glucose regulation, mood, hormones and more. We also discuss how short-wavelength light from LED bulbs can impair mitochondrial health and why balanced, full-spectrum light is essential for health. Dr. Jeffery shares simple yet powerful ways to use natural and artificial light sources to enhance your metabolic function, eyesight and longevity.

China x USA: Opposite Paths in Clean Energy

From 🇧🇷 O Assunto, published at 2025-12-01 03:16

Guest: Lucas Corrêa, professor at the State University of Santa Catarina and author of the thesis “Harder, better, faster, greener: China and the United States in the race for green energy technologies.” The world's two largest economies are also the planet's biggest polluters: nearly half of all greenhouse gas emissions come from China and the US. And the two countries have adopted opposing stances on this issue. While China invests heavily in so-called green technology for the energy transition, the US expanded its oil exploration and stayed out of the COP30 discussions in Belém. Author of a doctoral thesis on the race for green energy technologies, Lucas Corrêa talks with Victor Boyadjian in this episode. A professor at the State University of Santa Catarina, Lucas traces the history of the dispute between Beijing and Washington over two decades. Lucas details how the energy transition is seen as an instrument of economic development by the Beijing government. Meanwhile, the US withdrew from the Paris Agreement and encourages the exploration of fossil fuels. The professor answers what different types of technology the Chinese are investing in. He explains the Chinese strategy for increasing electric car sales in developing countries – today, 8 out of 10 electric cars sold in Brazil are from Chinese brands. Finally, Lucas concludes what the geopolitical consequences are of China and the US having divergent strategies regarding the energy transition.

Netanyahu's pardon request

From 🇮🇱 אחד ביום (Echad Ba'Yom), published at 2025-12-01 03:00

Netanyahu's lawyers sent the President's Residence a 111-page document and a personally signed letter: a request for a presidential pardon. For years, Netanyahu's public line was that the trial was collapsing, that justice would be served in court, that he would be acquitted. Yesterday, the Prime Minister still claimed he would be acquitted - only this time, the conclusion he reached was that because of this - the President must cancel the trial. This time we are with Dafna Liel and Dr. Dana Blonder, a research fellow at the Israel Democracy Institute and co-author of the book "The Institution of the Presidency in Israel," about Netanyahu's request. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Emilie Enger Mehl: The scariest is in your head

From 🇳🇴 Nesten hele uka med Lepperød, published at 2025-12-01 02:02

Emilie also shares her experiences from "Skal vi danse" (the Norwegian version of "Strictly Come Dancing"), and how she, who is usually composed and calm, was surprised by her own nerves. Martin also asks what Emilie is actually afraid of, and she explains why she believes that the scariest thing we have exists inside our own heads. The episode is produced by Synne Johansen.

The #1 Due Diligence Tip: Check Your Builder's Lender & Why 18% Interest is a RED FLAG

From 🇮🇳 Paisa Vaisa with Anupam Gupta, published at 2025-12-01 00:30

Anupam Gupta and Vishal Bhargava dive deep into selecting the right property. Vishal explains why apartments should have a minimum of 650 sq ft carpet area for a 2BHK and warns against the deceit of sample flats (no doors, small beds). They expose the Amenity Illusion (swimming pools are "item numbers") and the low quality of construction from branded developers, who often prioritize timely delivery over quality. They discuss Bombay's enduring strength (waterfront, 24/7 energy) versus the "race to the bottom" in Gurgaon, and the extreme tenant profiling happening in markets like Bangalore. Don't fall for the "inventory of choice" fear—there is always supply, so Don't Rush! #MumbaiRealEstate #PropertySelection #BuilderQuality Takeaways- 1. Rule of 35 & 5-20-30-40: Buy a house only after 35, following the 5x annual income, 20-year loan max, 30% down payment, 40% EMI limit rules. 2. Location vs. Address: Prioritize a good Location (e.g., Dharavi connectivity) over a vanity Address (Pali Hill), as location eventually becomes the address. 3. Builder Due Diligence: Check the builder's delivery history and the interest rate their lender charges to assess risk. 4. Property Specs: Aim for a minimum 650 sq ft carpet area for a 2BHK and beware of deceptive sample flat tricks (small beds, no doors). 5. Investment Strategy: For aggressive investment, bet on migration to convert a "bad address" (good location) into a "respectable address." 6. Small Ticket Investment: REITs are preferred over Fractional Ownership due to liquidity, despite REITs offering less asset-specific focus. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
