As an English teacher one naturally becomes more and more nit-picky over time (overly detail oriented.) Hopefully you'll find that quality useful when listening to my podcast.

Il festival UMBRIA JAZZ si volge a Perugia.
La città è piccola, pulita, organizzata; è una città gentile e giovane, piena di studenti universitari.
Vi ricordate che lì c’è anche l’UNIStraPG? L’università per stranieri, Gli esami CELI…. 
UJ nasce nel 1973, dopo 20 anni di sperimentazioni e avventure, culminate con un paio di concerti di rilievo, tipo quello di Louis Armstrong e Chat Baker.
Nel 2003, dopo 30 anni, il festival della musica jazz assume l’aspetto che ha adesso: il primo festival, quello dei concerti degli artisti famosissimi all’arena santa giuliana – quest’anno c’è stato anche Lenny Kravitz, ma anche Nile Rodgers….; 
il secondo festival, quello del Teatro Morlacchi, per gli amanti del genere e i virtuosi della musica; completano il tutto la marchin’ band, nel rispetto della tradizione di New Orleans; e  le jam session, cioè le improvvisazioni, le riunioni non pianificate, tra diversi musicisti;
e il terzo festival, quello delle strade, dei vicoli, all’aperto, quello del “non solo jazz”…. Quello che se hai voglia di suonare, lo puoi fare e qualcuno ti ascolterà, quello che se hai voglia di ballare sicuramente lo farai, e se hai voglia di sorridere e battere le mani…. Tutto sarà molto semplice, anche essere elegante e seguire il ritmo della musica.
Io sono stata a UJ solo un paio di volte. La dimensione che preferisco è quella del terzo festival, quindi quella di strada. Ma anche quella dei concerti ai giardini Carducci, dove c’è un panorama sulla valle, tavoli da pic-nic, un palco con concerti coinvolgenti, tanta gente di tutti i tipi, di tutte le età, di tutti i gusti, di tutto il mondo, con cui brindare, ballare, cantare, parlare.
E dove ho conosciuto Giacomo e Loretta, con cui vi lascio a chiacchierare di questi due giorni fuori dalle regole.
Ah, un paio di curiosità: nel 2022 UJ è citato in una puntata dei Simpson;
UJ collabora con l’università di Berklee, a Boston, dove tra l’altro insegna un mio caro studente.

UMBRIA JAZZ 2024

If robots do take over the world, this one probably won't be the leader.

Less than 5.8 centimeters tall — a little shorter than a lighter — it has been recognized by Guinness World Records as the world's smallest humanoid robot.

Humanoid robots look and act like humans. For the Guinness record, they must be able to move their shoulders, elbows, knees and hips, and also be able to walk.

Made by a Japanese student named Mitsuya Tatsuhiko, this one is less than half the size of the previous holder of the world record, which was made by students from Hong Kong.

Tatsuhiko is a postgraduate student at Nagoya Institute of Technology, where he researches crawler robots. Crawler robots don't look like humans, however, and they're used to inspect places that are hard to get to.

Tatsuhiko has been interested in robots since he was a child.

According to Guinness World Records, he built his first humanoid robot when he was 10.

He didn't spend as much time making them during high school, but he has returned to his passion as he has gotten older.

It took him a few tries to get his record-breaking robot right, and he worked hard to make it as small as he could.

He applied for the record with his third attempt while he was in the fourth year of his degree. He said he was very happy to have broken the record.

Tatsuhiko hopes to work with robots when he finishes university, but he'll also keep making them at home as a hobby.
