(30 Aniversario de la Inauguración del Monumento El Huevo de Colón en Sevilla, España) «Estando Cristóbal Colón a la mesa con muchos nobles españoles, uno de ellos le dijo: “Sr. Colón, incluso si vuestra merced no hubiese encontrado las Indias Occidentales, no nos habría faltado una persona que hubiese emprendido una aventura similar a la vuestra aquí en España, que es tierra pródiga en grandes hombres muy entendidos en cosmografía y literatura.” Colón no respondió a estas palabras, pero luego de pedir que le trajeran un huevo, lo puso sobre la mesa y dijo: “Señores, apuesto con cualquiera de ustedes a que no serán capaces de poner este huevo de pie como yo lo haré... sin ayuda alguna.” Todos lo intentaron sin éxito. Cuando el huevo volvió a Colón, éste lo golpeó sutilmente contra la mesa aplastando la curvatura de su base, lo que permitió dejarlo de pie. [Entonces] todos los presentes... entendieron lo que quería decirles: que después de hecha y vista la hazaña, cualquiera sabe cómo hacerla.»1   De esta historia legendaria que cuenta Girolamo Benzoni en su controvertida obra titulada Historia del Nuevo Mundo, publicada en Venecia en 1565, procede la expresión popular «como el huevo de Colón», que el Diccionario de la Real Academia Española define como «cosa que aparenta tener mucha dificultad, pero resulta ser fácil al conocer su artificio».2 Aun en el caso de quienes no conozcan la expresión, es probable que alguna vez se les haya mostrado la solución a un problema mucho más fácil de lo que se imaginaban, y hayan exclamado: «¡Ahhhh! ¡Veeee!» El mismo día en que Jesucristo resucitó, dos de sus seguidores iban camino a un pueblo cerca de Jerusalén. Mientras conversaban acerca de lo ocurrido en los últimos días, Jesús se les acercó, comenzó a caminar con ellos y, como no lo reconocieron, le contaron: «A Jesús, el profeta de Nazaret... los sacerdotes principales y nuestros líderes lograron que los romanos lo mataran, clavándolo en una cruz. Nosotros esperábamos que él fuera el libertador de Israel. Pero ya hace tres días que murió. »Esta mañana, algunas de las mujeres de nuestro grupo... fueron muy temprano a la tumba, [pero] no encontraron el cuerpo de Jesús.... [Entonces] unos ángeles se les aparecieron y les dijeron que Jesús está vivo. [Después] algunos hombres del grupo fueron a la tumba... pero ellos tampoco vieron a Jesús. »“[Es que] no pueden entender? [—les dijo Jesús—.] ... ¿No sabían ustedes que el Mesías tenía que sufrir antes de subir al cielo para reinar?” Luego Jesús les explicó todo lo que la Biblia decía acerca de él.... [Más tarde,] cuando se sentaron a comer, Jesús tomó el pan, dio gracias a Dios, lo partió y se lo dio a ellos. Entonces los dos discípulos pudieron reconocerlo, ¡pero Jesús desapareció!»3 Fue así como por fin entendieron, y lo que se dijeron el uno al otro bien pudiera resumirse como si hubieran exclamado: «¡Ahhhh! ¡Veeee!» Gracias a Dios, ahora cada uno de los que creemos en su Hijo Jesucristo podemos disfrutar actualmente de un renacimiento espiritual y gozar eternamente de un renacimiento físico «como la resurrección de Cristo».4 Carlos ReyUn Mensaje a la Concienciawww.conciencia.net 1 Wikipedia, s.v. «Huevo de Colón» En línea 22 marzo 2025. 2 Diccionario de la lengua española de la Real Academia Española En línea 4 abril 2025. 3 Lc 24:13-32 (TLA) 4 Jn 3:1-16; 10:10; 1Co 15:12-23; 1Ts 4:13-18

We've done a couple (here and here) of shows recently about the war on cars. But we never discussed the connections, both literal and metaphorical, between the damage of “Big Car” and “Big University” . According to the tenured Emory law professor Deepa Das Acevedo, what she calls in her new book, The War on Tenure, is really an attempt to transform the modern university into an academic version of Uber. By getting rid of tenure, Acevedo argues, academia is creating a new precariat of adjunct professors who are living in their cars. What she calls the “uberification” of academia is, so to speak, driving an assault not just on tenure, but on free thought and intellectual innovation. The war on tenure, then, is part of the broader neo-liberal project to replace full-time jobs with precarious labor. Academics - you have nothing to lose but your cars!1. The Charlie Kirk Fallout is a Watershed MomentIn just one month, an estimated 40-60 professors have been fired over social media posts about the assassination - with perhaps 10-15 being tenured faculty. This represents potentially half the number of academic freedom-related terminations that occurred over the entire previous 20-year period (2000-2020).2. Rich Universities Are Leading the Race to the BottomContrary to expectations, it's not cash-strapped colleges but wealthy universities with substantial endowments that are most aggressively replacing tenure-track positions with contingent adjunct labor - choosing to spend their resources elsewhere while casualizing their core academic workforce.3. Academic Job Markets Are Essentially MonopolisticThe entire state of Georgia has only 5-6 positions for a labor law professor. This extreme scarcity means academics can't simply “get another job” like workers in other industries - making job security through tenure essential for attracting people to spend 8-10 years training for these positions.4. The “Lazy Professor” Myth is Unsupported by DataResearch shows tenure doesn't reduce productivity - highly productive scholars remain productive after tenure, while those who did minimum work continue at that level. People become academics for reasons beyond job security, contradicting the stereotype of post-tenure retirement.5. Academic Precarity Has Reached Crisis LevelsAdjunct professors are literally living in cars while teaching classes. When academics lose stable employment, they typically exit the profession entirely rather than finding another academic position, creating a brain drain that threatens the future of higher education and research.Keen On America is a reader-supported publication.

Celebrated scholar Dr. Fred Gardaphé joins us in the studio to shed light on the vibrant tapestry of Italian American culture, identity, and scholarship. With warmth, humor, and memorable stories, Fred reflects on the moments that have shaped his journey—like how one of his books inspired our host's grandmother to embrace reading at the age of seventy. Together, we explore the delightful intersections of food, literature, and family traditions, while honoring the indelible mark Italian Americans have left on both the United States and their ancestral homeland. Our conversation also delves into the challenges Italian American scholars face in bridging cultural heritage with academic pursuits. From dismantling stereotypes to embracing one's roots, Fred shares insights into the ongoing journey of weaving heritage into academic life. Beyond anecdotes, we spotlight the vital role of philanthropy in advancing Italian American studies and the ongoing efforts to preserve this cultural legacy for generations to come. We expand the lens to consider the Italian diaspora worldwide, examining how heritage continues to flourish in communities across Argentina, Brazil, and beyond. With candor, Fred discusses the evolution of Italian American studies, emphasizing the importance of engaging younger generations and leveraging modern tools—like social media—to spark curiosity and connection. Join us for a lively and enlightening exploration that celebrates the complexities and joys of Italian American identity, academia, and community.    HIS BOOKS https://www.thriftbooks.com/a/fred-l-gardaph/225367/?srsltid=AfmBOoqFR9f2dB61OX4m0ckifDpSPhW_owQWX6iBDHSBvAd-VX3jo_c9

Today's guest, Dr. Sumi Raghava, PHD, joins me to talk about her powerful transition from academia to full-time private practice. She shares the motivations behind her decision, the challenges she faced along the way, and the key moments that shaped her journey. We dive into what it was like to balance academic responsibilities while building a trauma-focused, cross-cultural therapy practice—and what ultimately led her to go all-in. Our conversation covers everything from strategic planning and marketing to niching and the emotional risks (and rewards) of stepping fully into private practice.

The Epstein scandal exposed how deep corruption runs, but higher academia mostly slipped away untouched. Despite Epstein having offices at Harvard, donations to MIT, and close ties with professors, universities escaped the same scrutiny that crushed others. They played dumb, claimed ignorance, and hid behind words like “research” while pocketing predator money. Meanwhile, they still preach ethics and morality to the rest of us, acting like they're society's conscience while proving they'll side with cash over principle every single time.For working-class folks, the double standard is glaring. Ordinary people get hammered for the smallest mistakes, while billion-dollar institutions with political connections remain untouchable. Justice isn't blind; it looks straight at the bank account before moving. The universities knew what they were doing, yet faced no real punishment. Until someone has the guts to drag academia into the same light as everyone else, it's on us to keep the pressure on, to not forget, and to make sure their role in this rotten system never gets buried.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.com

Chad Orzel is a physicist and science writer who has been blogging for nearly twenty-five years. He's the author of four books, Breakfast with Einstein: The Exotic Physics of Everyday Objects, How to Teach Quantum Physics to Your Dog, How to Teach Relativity to Your Dog, Eureka: Discovering Your Inner Scientist and A Brief History of Timekeeping. The last is a mix of cultural and engineering history, archeology and physics, and reflects Orzel's wide interests as reflected in his Substack, Counting Atoms. In this episode of Unsupervised Learning Razib surveys the state of physics communication and science, as well as our broader culture's relationship with academia. Orzel and Razib first discuss the massive success of physicist-turned-YouTuber Sabine Hossenfelder. Emerging from academic physics and associated with Lee Smolin and the Perimeter Institute, Hossenfelder has shifted from skepticism of mainstream theories like string theory to arguing that academic science as a whole must be restructured. Orzel also notes that contrarian or heterodox views in popular areas such as astrophysics and particle physics receive much more attention than applied fields like solid-state physics. Razib and Orzel reflect on how science communication has changed over the past two decades, moving from the text-driven blog era before 2010 to the rise of podcasts and video. They also discuss the many technological applications of physics in the 21st century, particularly in battery technology, an area that is transforming daily life but rarely serves as fodder for glossy popular-press treatments. In the second half of the podcast, Orzel considers how science, and academia more broadly, have navigated the adversarial stance of the Trump administration. Razib asks whether institutional science, shaped in the post–World War II era, may be due for a major transformation, or whether it is even approaching the end of its line. Finally, Orzel addresses whether academics can regain broad public trust in the wake of the extreme politicization of the 2010s.

The Epstein scandal exposed how deep corruption runs, but higher academia mostly slipped away untouched. Despite Epstein having offices at Harvard, donations to MIT, and close ties with professors, universities escaped the same scrutiny that crushed others. They played dumb, claimed ignorance, and hid behind words like “research” while pocketing predator money. Meanwhile, they still preach ethics and morality to the rest of us, acting like they're society's conscience while proving they'll side with cash over principle every single time.For working-class folks, the double standard is glaring. Ordinary people get hammered for the smallest mistakes, while billion-dollar institutions with political connections remain untouchable. Justice isn't blind; it looks straight at the bank account before moving. The universities knew what they were doing, yet faced no real punishment. Until someone has the guts to drag academia into the same light as everyone else, it's on us to keep the pressure on, to not forget, and to make sure their role in this rotten system never gets buried.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-epstein-chronicles--5003294/support.

Belleza americana, a 25 años de romper el molde Belleza americana, ópera prima de Sam Mendes, fue una de las primeras películas estrenadas en México en el siglo XXI. Llegó temprano al calendario, llenó salas, ganó varios premios Oscar y se convirtió, también, en una rareza en comparación con el resto de sus contemporáneas y en la lista de cintas premiadas por la Academia de los Estados Unidos. Se trata de un drama con mucho humor negro que se separaba del cine de entretenimiento tradicional de esos años, muy en boga al finalizar los 90. Pero es también una propuesta plástica potente, viva y, tenemos que repetir la palabra, extraña en sí misma. Punzante, trágica, incorrecta a los ojos de unos, premonitoria en la mirada de otros, es una película que quizá perdió vigencia al poco tiempo de haberse estrenado, pero que la ha adquirido de vuelta debido a los oscuros tiempos que viven los Estados Unidos hoy, a 25 años del estreno de la película. Para hablar de Belleza americana, su propuesta y su renacimiento, invitamos a este podcast al investigador, maestro y crítico de cine Sergio Huidobro.

In Part 2 of this Wavelengths conversation, host Daniel Litwin continues his discussion with Chuck Girt, Chief Technology Officer at FiberLight, diving deeper into the broader ecosystem of education connectivity. While Part 1 focused on building resilient networks inside the classroom, this episode looks outward, examining how education networks must extend into homes, public spaces, and communities to truly close the digital divide. Girt shares how funding shifts, cybersecurity challenges, and new technology trends are reshaping how districts think about connectivity beyond school walls. With decades of experience in telecommunications and education infrastructure, Girt outlines a blueprint for designing networks that support students wherever learning happens, from classrooms to Chromebooks at home to roaming connections in libraries and community centers. Key Discussion Highlights: • Extending Learning Beyond School Walls: Girt emphasizes that education doesn't stop at the classroom door. Reliable fiber must power home connectivity, bus Wi-Fi, and community hotspots to ensure equitable access for all students. • The Funding Pendulum: The episode explores how shifting definitions of “community anchor institutions” and the push-and-pull of BEAD, E-Rate, and state funding complicate planning—but also create new opportunities for strategic investment. • Cybersecurity in the Age of AI: With ransomware attacks on schools rising 23% year-over-year, Girt stresses that security must be built into network design, supported by operators, MSPs, and AI-driven defenses that protect students and their data. • The Eduroam Example: Expanding secure roaming networks for students introduces new benefits—and new risks. Girt explains how smart certificate management and network-wide threat detection can safeguard roaming access. • Last Mile Upgrades that Matter: From moving content closer to the edge, to modernizing in-building infrastructure, Girt outlines practical, district-level strategies that deliver immediate improvements while waiting for larger-scale rollouts. • Trends to Watch: Looking ahead, Girt sees AI as the most powerful driver of education connectivity, enabling immersive learning, VR classrooms, and cross-institution collaboration that demands higher bandwidth. This episode offers practical insights for school district CIOs, administrators, and broadband providers alike. Girt makes clear that future-ready education networks require not just classroom connectivity, but a holistic approach that extends into communities, anticipates cybersecurity threats, and leverages funding to fuel long-term growth.

[2:51] We're very excited that today is International Podcast Day! Before we celebrate, I wanted to take a moment to acknowledge and mourn the passing of Todd Cochrane. Todd was a podcast pioneer. [3:06] I've linked in this episode's show notes to a wonderful obituary from Podnews®, about his career, starting with his time in the Navy up to launching his own podcast, and writing Podcasting: The Do It Yourself Guide, from Wiley Publishing in 2005. [3:25] Over the last couple of months, I've had the pleasure of communicating with Todd over email for the Podcast Awards, and it was only last week that I saw the unfortunate news of his passing, which occurred suddenly on September 8th. [3:30] Our condolences go out to his family, friends, and the greater podcasting industry. [3:47] On with the show! This is our special International Podcast Day episode, and I am delighted to be joined by James Swanke, the Director of the Risk Management and Insurance MBA Program at the Wisconsin School of Business at the University of Wisconsin-Madison. [4:06] Jim spent four decades at WTW, specializing in financial and strategic planning issues, as well as captive insurance company design. [4:18] Jim was recently quoted in a new professional report, available on the RIMS Risk Knowledge page, and sponsored by LineSlip Solutions, titled “The Future of Captive Insurance: Governance, Technology, and Performance Optimization.” [4:32] Jim got his start at the University of Wisconsin in broadcasting. We're going to talk about his career path and how being a disc jockey led him to where he is today, educating the next generation of risk professionals. Let's get to it! [4:50] Interview! Jim Swanke, welcome to RIMScast! [5:38] When Jim was in high school, he competed in forensics, in extemporaneous speaking. He did very well. He did well at the University of Wisconsin-Madison, and it got put in the newspaper. WLDY, in Ladysmith, Wisconsin, saw it in the newspaper and contacted him. [6:03] They were looking for a radio jock to “spin vinyls,” do some DJing, and read sports and news. That job helped Jim get into the University of Wisconsin-Madison. [6:21] Jim studied actuarial science and risk management. He went into the Bachelor's program, the MBA program, and the graduate program in risk management, insurance, and corporate finance. [6:40] Jim was hired by the Wyatt Company and did lots of feasibility studies. After 42 years at Willis Towers Watson, he retired. Now he teaches at the University of Wisconsin-Madison. [6:57] Broadcasting set Jim on his path. He says that everything about what we do in the captive and risk management area is about communication. If you're not communicating, listening, helping out, and building stuff, you're not going to be a success. [7:28] When Jim was a DJ at WLDY, they played different kinds of music. On Sundays, he played polka music. On Saturdays, it was country western, and Monday through Friday, it was rock music. Rock music is what he enjoys. At the top of every hour, he did the news and weather. [8:13] Justin recalls his own career. He was just waiting for podcasting to be invented, then he was able to make it all work out. [8:31] Jim worked with captives at Willis Towers Watson. He is quoted in a new LineSlip paper, “The Future of Captive Insurance: Governance, Technology, and Performance Optimization.” Justin saw his name there and thought it would be good to have him on RIMScast. [8:53] Jim described captives as a lifeline during extreme market conditions, comparing today's hard market to the turbulence of the 1980s. Jim tells what makes captives effective under hard conditions. Captives allow organizations to control their own destiny. [9:20] When you're in a hard market, having a captive allows you to take premiums that you normally pay to a commercial insurance carrier and put them into your captive insurance company. A captive is a subsidiary of the captive owner. [9:41] Most of the Fortune 500 companies in the United States have a captive. It allows them to arbitrage whatever's going on in the insurance marketplace. When we're having a difficult market, they put more of their premiums into the captive and rely on the captive more. [9:58] When the market softens, carriers may provide insurance at premiums that are lower than the expected losses. Organizations will buy commercial insurance all the time when the premiums are less than their projected losses. [10:14] Depending on where it is in the market, a captive has a role in an organization's risk management program. [10:27] Jim says a lot of organizations have looked to captives since 2020. We were in the midst of the pandemic, with all kinds of economic hardship. The insurance industry was in despair, as well. A lot of insurance companies cut back on the limits they were willing to offer. [10:49] Insurance companies put additional exclusions onto their insurance, so organizations had to rely on their own sophisticated ways of financing their losses. If they hadn't set up a captive, they set up a captive. If they had a captive in the past, they re-engineered it to do more. [11:15] They also used their captives to access the reinsurance marketplace. Reinsurance is insurance for insurance companies. A captive can be used as a platform to access reinsurers. [11:37] Even in difficult markets, having reinsurers involved created more competition, provided more limits, and there was more flexibility in the coverage terms. [11:48] That was when the pandemic was going on, which triggered the hardening of the market and the lack of availability of insurance. Organizations with captives relied on them and did more. Organizations without captives had captive feasibility studies done and formed captives. [12:09] Jim says the CEO of a captive should be a senior person who will monitor what's going on, fairly senior in the organization. It's not a full-time position. It takes three or four hours a month, plus board meetings. [12:46] A captive is required to have a captive manager, who is an accountant. They keep the books and interface for the captive with the regulator. The President or CEO of the captive relies on the captive manager to do a lot of the daily work. [13:09] Jim says you need a senior person involved so people take the captive seriously. The senior person is going to be the driver in reducing the severity of loss through loss prevention and loss reduction. Having a senior person is so important to the success of the captive. [13:40] There are lots of considerations when you're looking to make changes to your captive. Changes could include adding emerging types of risks, like cyber risk. If you're a hospital, a lot of medical malpractice captives have been hugely successful and have grown surplus. [14:08] Healthcare institutions are passing on some of their capitated risk exposures into their captives because they've done quite well with their medical malpractice. These risks are not correlated with each other, so there is a diversification benefit. [14:22] As you look to make these changes, you need to look at increasing risk assumptions, different attachment points on reinsurance, and changing your investment policy. You have lots of levers, and if you make changes, you need to analyze what the impact will be on your captive. [14:52] Jim talks about leaning into technology. Before 9/11, we didn't have the sophisticated software we've created in the last few years. [15:06] To look at covering all the possibilities and changing your captives, from adding new coverages to reinsurance reattachment points, was a monumental amount of actuarial work to figure out how to optimize your captive. [15:19] Recently developed software looks at all the possibilities in terms of changing your captive to optimize what you're doing. 20 years ago, Jim would spend months doing the actuarial work, working with an investment bank and charging them heavy fees. [15:39] Now, with new software, what took Jim months and months to do can be done in a matter of two to three days. The productivity today, in terms of optimizing your captive, is far greater than it was 20 years ago, because of the software that has been developed. [15:55] Jim likes that the software looks at all the risks and how these risks interact with one another. Looking at risks in a captive holistically is very important because many of these risks are hardly correlated with one another. [16:15] Looking at risks holistically, you can figure out the diversification benefit of having all of these risks within your captive, which has a major impact on the amount of economic capital that your captive will need to maintain. This software has been a game-changer. [16:34] RIMS Events! On October 1st through the 3rd, the RIMS Western Regional Conference will be held in North San Jose at the Santa Clara Marriott.

[18:08] In the spirit of it being September 30th, which is International Podcast Day, let's return to our interview with Jim Swanke! [18:22] Jim is the Director of the Risk Management and Insurance MBA at the University of Wisconsin-Madison. The curriculum includes technology, AI, and automation. In his classes, Jim is using the new software he discussed earlier. [18:46] Jim taught a class the day before on the principles of risk management. He talked about how risks are interrelated with each other and how you need to analyze them holistically, figuring out how they are correlated, not in siloes. [19:13] The holistic view will give you the best answer in terms of the economic capital that will be required to put into your captive. If you're analyzing risks silo by silo for each risk, that will lead you to having more economic capital in your captive than you need. [19:35] Jim has learned, in 42 years of consulting, that the CFOs in these organizations don't want to trap cash in their captives. Teaching this software to this new generation of students, they will be able to step into the roles of captive managers that the industry will need. [20:07] We're at the tip of the iceberg with AI. We're still learning in Academia what the power of AI is going to be. Jim foresees AI being very important in handling claims and in underwriting. [20:30] AI will allow commercial insurance companies to have a better way of doing their pricing and making decisions on whether or not risks should be accepted. It will also be beneficial to captives. [20:43] Jim thinks AI will advance the technology far ahead. We're just beginning to touch on some of the advantages within the insurance industry and within captives. [21:05] Jim started teaching in 2011. When University of Wisconsin-Madison Professor Dan Anderson retired, Jim was chosen to teach a class on sustainability that was started by Professor Anderson. He has taught it since 2011. [21:41] At the time, some students did not think anything was going on with climate change. A couple of students stood up in class and said all of this was just made up. It was a fantasy. [22:03] Today, when Jim goes into class, students are there a half-hour early and stay late. They are very connected and working together to figure out how to reduce CO2 emissions to slow down the heating of the planet and the extreme weather events that are coming more often. [22:24] The class has evolved over the years, and the students are more engaged than they ever have been. [22:33] The students from the University of Wisconsin-Madison were the winners of the Spencer-RIMS Risk Management Challenge at RISKWORLD 2025 in Chicago. Jim knows all of those students and had a couple of them in his class yesterday. [23:04] The students won with the Huntington, West Virginia case study, a six-month project. Huntington is on the Ohio River, and with extreme weather events, flooding has become a big issue in that community. They competed with students around the world to solve the issue. [23:49] Each school's team came up with things that could be done and conducted an analysis on what they thought was the best way of handling it. The University of Wisconsin-Madison's team focused on resiliency with levees and dikes to hold back the flooding. [24:27] The four Wisconsin students presented their paper and won, out of 61 schools competing. The University of Wisconsin-Madison received $10K. The second-place university, DePaul, received $7.5K, and the third-place school, IIRM Hyderabad (past year winner), got $5K. [25:04] The University of Wisconsin-Madison team entered two other contests last year and won them both. The CICA Captive competition involved case studies around Kaneka captives. It required an essay and a PowerPoint deck. [25:52] The MBA students entered the A.M. Best competition for insurance solutions to a global issue. The students used a combination of parametric and indemnity triggers to provide insurance to the disadvantaged in the Caribbean and Latin America. [26:23] If there was hurricane damage, it would trigger a parametric to allow an amount of money to be paid immediately to these disadvantaged families. Then there would be the indemnity insurance that would look at the actual losses and true them up to the loss amount. [26:49] It involved the combination of parametrics and conventional indemnity insurance, which was noteworthy and probably pushed the team over the top. [27:11] The professor who was the advisor in the Spencer Challenge is Carl Barlett. Carl is an attorney by training, and he has the energy to work with bachelor's students. He's graduated hundreds of people out of his program over the last four or five years. [27:59] The University has Career Fairs where 60 or 70 companies will come to meet with students. That's a credit to Carl. Not a lot of companies will come to a university to meet with students. Because of the program he put together, lots of organizations want to hire students. [28:21] The University of Wisconsin-Madison business school is typically ranked number 1. [28:31] A Final Break! The Spencer Educational Foundation's goal to help build a talent pipeline of risk management and insurance professionals is achieved, in part, by its collaboration with risk management and insurance educators across the U.S. and Canada. [28:50] Since 1999, Spencer has awarded over $2.9 million to create more than 570 Risk Management Internships. The Internship Grants application process is now open through October 15th, 2025. [29:06] To be eligible, risk managers must be based in the U.S., Canada, or Bermuda. A link to the Internship Grants page is in this episode's show notes. You can always visit SpencerEd.org, as well. [29:19] Let's Get Back to Our Interview with Jim Swanke of the University of Wisconsin-Madison! [29:46] Jim tells his students that we don't know today what the emerging risks are going to be. What we need to do is design our risk management program and keep our eyes and ears open to what is going to happen next. [30:04] Jim cites The Black Swan, by Nassim Nicholas Taleb. It gets into what we need to do as people of risk management and societies to try to identify the emerging risks that will impact us going forward. [30:21] In risk management, we look at the past to try to project what's going to happen in the future. We were caught by the pandemic. Very little business interruption insurance was offered. If we had been forward-thinking, we would have thought about coverages for the emerging risks. [31:19] An emerging risk after 9/11 was that insurance companies put exclusions on their insurance policies, excluding terrorism. The Federal Government passed the Terrorism Risk Insurance Act (TRIA) and offered it as a backstop to insurance companies. [31:55] Anybody with a captive could access that reinsurance through the U.S. Treasury, using their captive insurance company. [32:23] Jim sees more employee benefits going into captives. The advantages you have in the P&C area are also in place for employee benefits. Organizations with large workers' compensation self-insurance programs are putting excess workers' compensation into captives. [32:57] Jim says you need to be nimble and on your toes. Emerging risks are going to come out over the next 10 to 15 or 20 years. Keep your eyes and ears open so when they emerge, you can deal with them to reduce the frequency and severity of loss and see how to finance them. [33:19] Jim highly recommends reading The Black Swan. It's a good way to begin to think about how you should think about emerging risks. [33:42] Jim says school is going really well. One thing he noticed this year is the diverse nature of his students. There are more disciplines within the risk management area that people are interested in. [33:56] In class recently, Jim had a group that was in the investment banking area, a group that was in HR, and a couple of students from China. There was a broad diversity in the class. [34:16] It enriches the conversation to have people coming from different places with different backgrounds and different educational experiences. It shows the power of having diversity in the classroom. It's exciting. [34:32] The class will write papers on Enterprise Risk Management and talk about captives, and more. They'll compete in the CICA Captive Competition again, to maintain their number one rating there! They're off to a great start! It's nice to see students so highly energized! [34:53] Jim says the future is bright with the students graduating from the Wisconsin School of Business at the University of Wisconsin-Madison. [35:22] Justin and others have liked Jim's broadcasting voice. Jim thanks Justin for commenting on it. [35:55] Jim's time as a DJ was 50 years ago. He recalls two or three instances of hot mikes, when some of the FCC's seven deadly words may have been spoken. He says nobody wants that, but it was a real learning experience. [36:29] Jim recalls when the studio tower was hit by lightning. Jim was alone in the radio station when it happened. Lightning bolts were flying around the building after the tower got hit. The station went off the air, and Jim had to figure out a way to put it back on the air. [36:58] Jim highly recommends to young people, if you get an opportunity to get involved with radio or TV, give it a shot, because it's a lot of fun! Justin ties it to podcasting and video blogging. [37:42] Jim likes all the music of 1976 and didn't have a favorite album. He likes Deep Purple and Bob Seger. He says there's no better songwriter than Bob Seger. There was a diversity of good music going out at that time. It was a wonderful time to be working in a radio station. [38:47] Justin is a father of two young people under 12 who like to listen to classic rock. “Dancing in the Moonlight,” by King Harvest, is a greatest hit in the family. They love Van Morrison. [39:56] On the subject of podcasting, Jim thinks there is an opportunity to develop content that helps the everyday American with their personal insurances, like homeowners, auto, health, life, and how they buy their insurances. [40:45] In class recently, the MBA students, the brightest and best, designing plans for New York investment banks and worldwide financial institutions, told Jim that they had questions about what to buy in auto policies and homeowners policies. [41:07] Jim states that an insurance podcast for the everyday American is something the industry needs to be doing. Justin suggests that members of the global RIMScast audience could pick up the baton and get to work! [41:27] Maybe it becomes part of the coursework for a class like Jim's. It could be part of a challenge, like the Spencer-RIMS Risk Management Challenge. [41:48] Jim says being able to talk about this with graduate students gives them some familiarity with what risk is, in terms of the instability of results. They can relate to it because they need to buy an auto policy or a homeowners policy. [42:03] While these coverages don't match up perfectly with what's going on in the commercial insurance marketplace, learning about them gives students a sense of what insurance is about, what risk management is about, and how to reduce the frequency and severity of losses. [42:22] Jim, it has been such a pleasure to speak with you and to pick your brain on risk management education, broadcasting, and music! Thank you so much for joining us here on RIMScast! [42:33] Good luck to you and your students at the University of Wisconsin-Madison, as you look to the 2026 competitions. I can only imagine they're going to do great things!

A inflação é um problema para nós usuários da economia desde que decidimos usar uma unidade de conta para trocar as coisas. Ao longo do tempo, as coisas ficam mais caras, mas por quê? Existem diversas explicações plausíveis, mas para além de explicar o aumento de preço, é possível controlar esse aumento de preço? Se o governo gasta muito dinheiro, meu café fica mais caro? Quais as raízes da inflação no Brasil? O que foi o plano real? Patronato do SciCast: 1. Patreon SciCast 2. Apoia.se/Scicast 3.

On this encore episode of Corsi Nation, Dr. Jerome Corsi exposes the lasting damage caused by Howard Zinn's distorted version of U.S. history, which has deeply influenced public education, academia, and the rise of today's woke ideology.

Hell is other people. Academia is hell. Those all sound like enticing reasons to read "Katabasis" by R. F. Kuang. And while they are prevalent themes, there's also Kuang's typical dive into logic and linguistics. So is it worth the ride?

Why should we challenge the assumption that the Greek magical text, the Hygromanteia, is really the source of the Key of Solomon?

Ep 356 of RevolutionZ begins with a few reflections on Arundhati Roy's memoir "Mother Mary Comes to Me." It praises her extraordinary prose and storytelling to show how powerful narrative can illuminate complex social realities. This brief visit to her work ends with a set of questions about her writing and, by extension, about all writing, including The Wind Cries Freedom. Why does a writer write? Why do we read?Then from Chapter Five of The Wind Cries Freedom oral history, Goldman relays how his radicalization began in college economics classes. There he discovered a profound disconnect between academic theories and lived reality. "The discourse revolved around formal abstractions," he explains, "generally devoid of context or critical examination." This intellectual dissonance he felt slowly cracked his worldview and altered his life plans. He realized economics education functions largely to legitimize existing power structures rather than foster genuine understanding.Two transformative events next accelerated Goldman's political awakening: an Olympia refinery occupation and a Schools for the People campaign. At Olympia, Goldman relates how workers seized control of an oil refinery and boldly declared their intention to convert it to solar panel production. In the Schools campaign, he takes us into a school assembly meeting where parents articulate powerful visions of the town school as a community center rather than "factories or prisons by day." Goldman hears there desire: "We want roses on our table, not diamonds on our neck," as one parent memorably stated. In both the struggles we see the motives and feelings of activist participants and also of the defensive owner and principal, respectively. What makes Goldman's oral history account particularly valuable is his willingness to discuss psychological barriers to activism. He acknowledges how fear of social friction initially held him back, and how developing the courage to take visible stands was essential and required internal transformation. His journey illuminates not just what he came to fight for, but how he become involved and committed through concrete experiences and moral reflection. Does his journey resonate for you in our times?Are you an ideologically well read seasoned activist or perhaps horrified by Trump and for the first time curious about social movements and their prospects? Either way, Goldman offers rich insights into effective organizing tactics, the importance of building solidarity across different constituencies, and the power of articulating positive visions rather than merely opposing injustice. So is Goldman's oral history account of campus boycotts, workplace occupations, and community campaigns from his time relevant to our times? Is the experience he shares with us worth discussing? Can we extract and refine or augment lessons useful for us? That is this episode's core question. Support the show

Send Bidemi a Text Message!Across Apple's wearables, GLP-1 drugs, academia's AI pivot, IP fights, new crime patterns, and the dating-app slump, there is one through-line: resilient trust. In this episode, host Bidemi Ologunde maps how innovation and human values can move in step—arguing for stronger privacy rules (especially for biometrics), smarter AI oversight (think “FDA for algorithms”), real digital literacy, and business models that earn a social license to operate. It's a playbook for policymakers, tech leaders, academics, and the rest of us to design for well-being, not just engagement—so our tools save lives, our institutions keep credibility, and our relationships (online or offline) stay authentic.Support the show
