En el episodio de hoy hablo de cosas u objetos españoles que usan una nacionalidad o un país en su nombre. Creo que es un tema muy interesante especialmente porque cuando las traducimos a otros idiomas no las traducimos con esa nacionalidad.

The story of DB Cooper revolves around the mysterious hijacking of Northwest Orient Airline's Flight 305 in Washington on November 24th, 1971. A man who identified himself as Dan Cooper demanded $200,000 and four parachutes, threatening a bomb on board. After securing the ransom and releasing passengers in Seattle, Cooper instructed the pilot to fly to Mexico City, but due to fuel constraints, they landed in Reno, Nevada. During the stop, Cooper disappeared with the money and one parachute. Despite an extensive search, the investigation into Cooper's identity and whereabouts has endured for decades, marked by numerous dead ends and mysteries.

THE CURIOUS CASE OF DB COOPER PT 1

There's an old English saying that goes: "Early to bed and early to rise, makes a man healthy, wealthy and wise."

But according to a recent study, "late to bed and late to rise" may actually be better for your brain — though researchers didn't check if it does anything for your health or your wallet.

A study published in BMJ Public Health looked at data from nearly 27,000 people who reported how long they slept, and whether they were a "morning lark" — someone who wakes up early — or a "night owl," who sleeps late.

The participants, aged between 53 and 86, also did cognitive tests that checked their reasoning, memory, and how quickly they could process information.

It was found that night owls performed best on the cognitive tests — ahead of those who described themselves as neither morning people nor night people. And morning larks had the lowest cognitive scores of all.

People's bodies have times when they naturally prefer to sleep. And Raha West of Imperial College London, the study's lead author, said that while it's possible to gradually shift your sleeping times, it's very difficult to completely change from a morning person to a night person.

However, she also said the results just show the trend, and not the truth for every individual.

The authors also noted that their results, which focused on older adults, contrasted with past research on adolescents, which found that young morning larks actually had better health and better mental well-being.

Speaking to The Guardian, Jacqui-Ann Hanley of Alzheimer’s Research UK, who wasn't involved with the study, also said it isn't clear if being a morning person leads to poorer cognitive results in older adults, or if the weaker cognitive abilities that come with aging just make people get up earlier.

The study also found that people generally got better cognitive scores if they reported sleeping between seven and nine hours each night.

'Night Owls' May Have Better Brains

Benvenuti al nostro podcast  oggi dedicato a uno dei più grandi geni della storia umana: Leonardo da Vinci. Conoscete qualcuno che è al tempo stesso inventore, pittore, scultore, scrittore di aforismi, ingegnere e conoscitore dell’anatomia? La risposta è semplice: è Leonardo da Vinci.

In questa puntata esploreremo la straordinaria vita e le molteplici sfaccettature del genio rinascimentale, che ha lasciato un'impronta indelebile nella storia dell'arte, della scienza e della filosofia.

Nato il 15 aprile 1452, a Vinci, una piccola città vicino a Firenze, Leonardo  ha incarnato appieno lo spirito del Rinascimento italiano.

Presto ha iniziato a sviluppare le sue straordinarie competenze artistiche e scientifiche. Attraverso la sua capacità unica di unire l'arte e la scienza, ha anticipato molte delle scoperte scientifiche future, diventando un pioniere nell'osservazione della natura e dei suoi fenomeni.

Le sue opere più celebri, come "La Gioconda" e "L'Ultima Cena", hanno rivoluzionato l'arte del ritratto, mentre le sue invenzioni visionarie, dagli schizzi dei primi prototipi di elicotteri ai dispositivi idraulici, hanno dimostrato la sua mente inquieta e innovativa.

Ma Leonardo non era solo un artista e un inventore, era anche un filosofo che credeva nell'importanza dell'osservazione accurata e dell'esperienza personale per comprendere il mondo. La sua celebre frase "La conoscenza è figlia dell’esperienza" riflette il suo approccio alla vita e al sapere.

Anche dopo la sua morte il 2 maggio 1519, l'eredità di Leonardo da Vinci ha continuato a influenzare generazioni di artisti, scienziati e pensatori, rendendolo uno dei pilastri del Rinascimento e un'icona della mente umana creativa.

Buon ascolto!
