Merriam-Webster's Word of the Day for January 27, 2024 is: docile • DAH-sul • adjective Docile is used to describe those who are easily taught, led, or managed. // Though the professor feared a rowdy incoming class, he found that his new students were docile and eager to learn. See the entry > Examples: "An homage to David Cronenberg's 2005 film 'A History of Violence,' 'Leo' released on Oct. 19. The action-thriller follows a docile cafe owner (Vijay) who is incited to return to his violent past." — Naman Ramachandran, Variety, 23 Oct. 2023 Did you know? Docile students have always made teaching easier than it otherwise would be. Today calling students "docile" indicates that they aren't trouble-makers, but there's more than just good behavior connecting docility to teachability. The original meaning of docile is more to the point: "readily absorbing something taught." "The docile mind may soon thy precepts know," rendered Ben Jonson, for example, in a 17th-century translation of the Roman poet Horace. Docile comes from the Latin verb docēre, which means "to teach." Other descendants of docēre include doctrine (which can mean "something that is taught"), document (an early meaning of which was "instruction"), and doctor and docent (both of which can refer to teachers).

Regular listeners of the podcast will know that we absolutely love a book that revolves around women's stories; that reclaims/wrestles the narrative from the petty patriarchal posturers of history. So we were delighted when Annabelle Hirsch's 'A History of Women in 101 Objects' landed on our doormats. The book tells stories of female history through ‘things'; through the quiet power of their everyday items: perfumed gloves, thumbscrews, sewing machines, the Brontës' miniature books, the contraceptive pill and abortion testimony. Female life through the ages, ordinary and extraordinary is here. We talk to Annabelle about the power of doubt, horror and humour, and the amazing resilience, resourcefulness and strength that women have shown every single day since the dawn of time.

In this episode I explore the history of Branch County newspapers that existed between 1837 to the 1880's. The Michigan Star was the first one published in 1837 in the Village of Branch, and through the years there was the Coldwater Observer, The Branch County Democrat, the Coldwater Sentinel, The Branch County Republican, The Branch County Gazzette, The Democratic Union, The Southern Michigan News, The Coldwater Union Sentinel, The Republican, The Coldwater Reporter and the Coldwater Weekly Press all published in the immediate Coldwater area. In other parts of the county there existed publications in Bronson, Union City and Quincy. Most leaned towards the political views of a particular party of the time period, and and some existed only a few months. It is a fascinating look at the history of the press in Branch County Michigan. The information in this episode was taken from 'A History of Branch County Michigan' written by Crisfield Johnson and published in 1879.

Dr John Collins worked for the UK's Central Electricity Generating Board in the days when such things were nationalised industries. His PhD involved creating a real-time dosimeter for workers in nuclear plants so they didn't have to wait 2 weeks to learn the results of the film-based dosimeters that were in use. In doing so, he saved the CEGB considerable amounts of money - and, mere importantly, saved the lives and health of the men and women who worked there. Thus began a lifetime working at the leading edge of business where innovation meets ethics and morality so that now, he is the Ethics and Responsible Innovation Advisor at Machine Intelligence Garage and on the Ethics Advisory Board at Digital Catapult. He's writing a book called 'A History of the Future in Seven Words.' With all this, he's an ideal person to open up the worlds of business, innovation and technology. In a wide-ranging, sparky, fun conversation, we explore what might make AI safe, how a future might look with sustainable business, whether 1.5 is 'still alive' and if that's even a useful metric - and how much power does it take to post an Instagram picture compared to making a plastic bottle (spoiler alert: it's the same power and the same CO2 generated - assuming both use the same power source and *if* the image is stored for 100 years... which the way we're going, might not happen. But still... ). John on LinkedIn https://www.linkedin.com/in/drjohnlcollins/Digital Catapult https://www.digicatapult.org.uk/

The life of Harvard University – the oldest institution of higher learning in the US – officially began on 28th October, 1636 when the Massachusetts Bay Colony appropriated £400 for its construction. It;s fair to say the first few years of Harvard's existence were not a success, featuring whippings, poisonings, and way too little beef and beer for the students' liking. In this episode, Arion, Rebecca and Olly explain how the university got its name; look into why early students had to learn Hebrew if they wanted to graduate; and discuss why Benjamin Franklin thought all Harvard students were “blockheads”...

Displacement of civilian populations is a feature of politics in many parts of the world. War is perhaps the most familiar driver of displacement – we have seen that, of course, on a tragic scale in Ukraine in recent months. But other factors lead people to leave their homes too, including government development policies and the effects of climate change. And displacement also has profound effects: on the people involved most directly; but also on the dynamics of conflict and of politics more broadly. To discuss population displacement, UCL Uncovering Politics is joined by two students from the Department of Political Science: Sigrid Weber and Pasan Jayasinghe. Sigrid and Pasan are currently researching population displacement for their PhDs, in Iraq and Sri Lanka respectively.Mentioned in this episode:S. Weber., 'Controlling a Moving World: Territorial Control, Displacement and the Spread of Civilian Targeting in Iraq', Unpublished PhD chapterP.

Miroslav Holub, (1923 –1998) Holub lived in Prague, and worked as an immunologist. He wrote a paper called ‘The Immunology of Nude Mice'. His obituary appeared in the New York Times.

This translation is taken from Heaney and Hughes' ‘The Rattle Bag' and the translation is by George Theiner.

Throughout its history, America has been defined through maps. Whether made for military strategy or urban reform, to encourage settlement or to investigate disease, maps invest information with meaning by translating it into visual form.

Tim Taylor meets Neil MacGregor, bestselling author and presenter of the wonderful 'A History of the World in 100 Objects', as featured on BBC Radio 4. Neil is no stranger to stunning artefacts, as former Director of both the British Museum and the National Gallery. Tim and Neil take a look at a series of intriguing historic objects, including some discovered by Time Team, as well as personal favourites from the British Museum's collection. These objects speak of the very fundamentals of humanity: our need for play and faith, our sense of identity, our aspirations of beauty, our struggle for survival, and the unfortunate inevitability of war. During his tenure at the British Museum, Neil oversaw new displays of the Sutton Hoo treasure, as featured in the recent Netflix film, 'The Dig', starring Ralph Fiennes and Carey Mulligan. Neil tells Tim what it was like to work with these incredible objects and their lasting appeal. You can watch the original video interview here.
For the latest episode of the Arsenal Women Arsecast, Tim talks to BBC journalist, broadcaster and commentator Chris Slegg about his and Patricia Gregory's new book 'A History of the Women's FA Cup Final', released to commemorate the 50th anniversary of the competition. In the book, Chris and Patricia have uncovered a string of hitherto unknown facts and stats about the competition, which has suffered from a lack of documentation.Chris discusses some of the difficulties and barriers of compiling accurate information about some of those early finals and the importance of accurately depicting the history of the women's game and understanding the barriers faced by players.

In this special celebratory episode, your twin hosts Jude and John Lovell reflect back on the first year of the Book XChange podcast: what it's meant to us, and what we hope to continue to do with it going forward. And in a nod to the unique "hook" of our show, that is, identical twins reflecting on books and reading... we tackle books that feature, or are in some way about, twins and the phenomenon of "twinhood." Good twins, evil twins, estranged or missing or lost twins, damaged twins, "midnight twins"... there are so many great myths, novels and plays that explore the compelling and fascinating nature of this mysterious bond. We bring our own personal perspective of having lived for 50+ years as genetic duplicates to these books and stories, and unpack what each of them get right, exaggerate, and even illuminate for those who lead what you might quite accurately call "a double life." Whether you are a twin, a parent of twins, are related to a set or know some in your circle of friends/associates, this episode may have you thinking about their lived experience in a different way. A very special thank you to all of you who have ever listened to the show since April of 2020!

Armed with theory set out in the "Korean Revolution Manifesto" and practical experience drawn from the March 1st Independence Movement, in 1925 worker and citizen organizations including the Daegu League of Truth and Fraternity, the Changwon Black Friend League and the Jeju Island Mutual Aid group began to organize on the peninsula. In the summer of 1929 Anarchists formed an administration representing more than 2 million Koreans in the Manchurian province of Shinmin, but by the summer of 1931 Stalinist pressure in the North, Japanese pressure in the South and a series of targeted political assassinations ended a distinctly Korean experiment with an extraordinary ideology.

The episode is titled 'Storia Americana' which Dean's basic Google Translate efforts, seems to suggest that the literal translation is 'A History of America'. Which makes sense because ut brings us full circle back to Ethelrida's History report ... the one which informed the breathtaking 25 min opening scene from Episode 1. But this could easily have been titled 'As ye sow, so shall ye reap' as chickens come home to roost all over the shop. Check it out !
Hello and welcome to the Baha’i Blogcast with me your host, Rainn Wilson. In this series of podcasts I interview members of the Baha’i Faith and friends from all over the world about their hearts, and minds, and souls, their spiritual journeys, what they’re interested in, and what makes them tick. In this episode, I'm joined virtually by Dr. Louis Venters, an author and history professor who specializes in African American studies and the Baha'i Faith in South Carolina. Louis tells us how he became a Baha'i, and also explains how the Baha'i Faith became the second largest religion in South Carolina, sharing some of the history and the nuances that come with that, especially as a result of the Jim Crow era.

Quizmasters Lee and Marc are joined by Luc and Andrew to ask, suss and answer each other’s favorite trivia questions of the week. Round One MONDEGREENS - "Hey smilin’ strange / you're looking happily deranged" Purposefully left a mystery by songwriter Mark Mulcahy, what is the third line to the first verse of "Hey Sandy", the theme song of the 90's coming of age sitcom Pet and Pete, confirmed in a 2012 Reddit AMA by actor Danny Tamberelli, who played Little Pete Wrigley the show? ROCK LYRICS - The character Gollum from Lord of the Rings is referenced in what Led Zeppelin song? FRASIER - On Fraiser, what are the call letters of the fictional radio station that broadcasts Dr. Crane's show? MUPPETS - In the first season of Sesame Street, what color is Oscar the Grouch? LEXICON - What Latin phrase translates to "occasion of war", and describes an event used to justify war? AGRICULTURE - In what country is most of the world’s coffee produced? Missed Corrections and KnowNotes Stephen Webster says : In episode 74, the question was asked "what 3 action movies did future state governors of California and Minnesota costar in” The final movie, Batman and Robin would be incorrect to me, based on the wording of the question. A cameo as a guard does not rise to the level of "costar" which could be misleading I would use the phrase "appeared in", just to be safe. This might be a nitpick, but if a team at my local trivia missed the question do to this phrasing, there definitely would be complaints. Rachael supports Marc, saying ‘Spy Kids 2’ as an answer is sufficient. Elyse wants us to know the lyric “Rita Hayworth gave good face” is from Vogue and not Express Yourself. Gil wants to clarify that Theo is from The Cosby Show, not The Facts of Life. One from me, the song that I couldn’t remember that sampled Sundown from the year 2000 is also called “Sundown” by Elwood. Quizdaddy Tim and asks “According to Billboard.com, Kenny G has become the 4th solo artist to have a top 40 hit on the Billboard charts in the 80's, 90's, 00's and 10's. He joined Madonna, Michael Jackson, and what other artist?” Round Two NBA - In what city were the NBA’s Grizzlies located in for six years before moving to Memphis? COLORS THAT END IN URPLE - What ancient Mediteranean civilization got its ancient Greek name from the purple cloth exported from the region? MUSIC ACCOLADES - What solo artist charted 126 billboard top 200 albums in their career? WHAT IS IT? The Phaeton, Curricle, Landau, and Brougham we're all popular types of what in the 19th Century? GEOGRAPHY - The Democratic Republic of the Congo was formerly known as what country? CHOCOLATE - In 1926, which chocolate company set the standard worldwide in the rich tradition of Belgian chocolate making? Rate My Question MOVIES - In 2006, the movie 'A History of Violence' became the last major Hollywood film to do what? - submitted by Jon Lane Final Questions SINGERS & TECHNOLOGY - What song, which was named after an eatery located under a NASA space lab, but is perhaps better known for being an exterior stand-in for a popular hangout on the sitcom Seinfeld, earned a singer the distinction of being named the “Mother of the MP3,” by audio enginners, as her warm vocals provided a control track for testing the effects of compression on the format’s encoding algorithms? MEDICAL TERMS - Syncope is the medical term for what? ALSO KNOWN AS - By what title is Arthur Wellesly otherwise known as?

Drug testing is a perennial topic in sports these days. High profile suspensions, accusations at world champions and a clamour for "clean competition" in the face of apparent state-sanctioned doping has seen the subject's importance to the public seemingly increase in recent years. This talk - part of our 2017 Edinburgh Fringe run - will explore the reasons why drug testing fails to catch organised cheats, and in many cases punishes the wrong people. Dr Paul Dimeo has been a lecturer at Stirling since 2002. He began researching drug use in sport and testing from a historical perspective. In essence, he wanted to find out when and why athletes used drugs and when, who and why policies emerge to control this usage. These questions underpinned his first book 'A History of Drug Use in Sport: Beyond Good and Evil' (Routledge, 2007). Subsequently, he researched doping in the context of the Cold War, spending a semester at the University of Texas on a Fulbright Commission scholarship (2012). Whilst a resident in Austin (Lance Armstrong's home town), all the evidence about organised doping in the American professional cycling team was published. This inspired him to develop more contemporary interests in the social impact of anti-doping policy, and the relationship of media scandals with policy organisations. he is currently working on a second book with Professor Verner Moller which explores the reasons for the current crisis in anti-doping, questions of human costs of the war on drugs in sports, and potential ways forward.
Here's our interview with Dr. Paul Dimeo from the University of Stirling on drug testing in sport. In it we introduce Paul to skepticism, hear what a mess cycling is, and generally have one of the most depressing conversations about sport that might have ever taken place. But it was a good one.

How do we write a history of caring? This became a central question for Barbara Brookes, Professor of History at the University of Otago in writing 'A History of New Zealand Women'. There have been major transitions in the locus of care over time. In the early twentieth century, for example, unmarried daughters might be expected to care for their parents in old age. In the mid-twentieth century, married women with children were expected to care for them. The care of children and the elderly, expected in the past to be the responsibility of families and to take place in family homes, or benevolent or church institutions, might now take place in a commercial context. In the twenty-first century, such caring – both for the elderly and the young – may be part of the market economy. This talk will consider the changing landscapes of care and their implications in the twenty-first century. Recorded at the National Library of New Zealand, 2 August 2017.

The eighth in a ten part podcast series on a 'History of the Easter Rising in 10 Objects' discusses a fragment of a wall from 16 Moore Street inscribed by Thomas Clarke. The Volunteers were tired, and lacked food and water, but some of them began to smash through the walls of the houses to permit access along the length of the terrace and hopefully find an escape route, but it became obvious that they were trapped. In one of the houses, decades of the rosaries were recited, though when Michael Collins came across the exhausted Joe Good sitting with his head in his hands, he crankily exclaimed 'are you [fucking] praying too?'. Clarke, Connolly, MacDiarmada, Pearse and Plunkett were all present in Moore Street and eventually, realising the hopelessness of their situation, they decided to surrender in 16 Moore Street, which was owned by Patrick Plunkett, a poulterer. The fragment of wall that he inscribed was from that house. 'A History of the Easter Rising in 50 Objects' by John Gibney is available now.

'A History of the Easter Rising in 50 Objects' by John Gibney is available now.
A little shorter of an episode than usual for me, but also one a bit on the political side of things this time around (yet again -- though hopefully this won't be a usual thing), here is my belated episode discussion of the recent Mark Gatiss story, 'Sleep No More'. Inside you'll find some happy Jessica Jones gushing, some allusions to ancient rad vs. trad fandom debates, chat about transphobic microaggressions and internalized prejudice, and a wee bit of roller derby squeeing thrown in for good measure. So, anyway, I hope you all will join me for my review and episode discussion. And, as always, glad to have you all aboard. Enjoy the ride!
