According to the latest projections by the IMF, India is now the world's fourth-largest economy. Government officials, including the CEO of NITI Aayog B.V.R. Subrahmanyam, have expressed confidence that India could soon overtake Germany to claim the third spot. Adding to the optimism, the World Bank recently reported that extreme poverty in the country fell to 5.3% in 2022–2023. A recent report by SBI noted that the poverty rate in India could now be in the range of 4%.  But what do these numbers mean for the broader population?

General Marshall planned brilliantly for the US Army's rapid wartime growth and a 'Just Peace' for post-war Europe. Professor Bill Johnsen explains how. General George C Marshall's (1880-1959) career as a strategist and strategic leader was impressive. As the Chief of Staff for the US Army, he oversaw a forty-fold increase in the size of the Army. Quick to spot talent and advance it out of turn, his appointments included Generals Omar Bradley, Lesley J McNair, George S Patton, and perhaps most crucially, Dwight D Eisenhower. Winston Churchill described Marshall as 'the organiser of victory' After the War, he was appointed as Secretary of State, where he lobbied for the reconstruction of Europe that would build the capacity of nations exhausted by the War, and act as a bulwark against Soviet expansion. The European Reconstruction Plan, which would eventually become simply the 'Marshall Plan', earned him the unique distinction of being the only Army General to be awarded the Nobel Peace Prize. Professor William (Bill) Johnsen is the former Director of Academics at the US Army War College, and a former Infantry Officer. He served in NATO working on the Conventional Forces in Europe Treaty and the 1991 NATO Strategy. He is the author of numerous works, including Origins of the Grand Alliance: Anglo-American Military Collaboration from the Panay Incident to Pearl Harbor (University Press of Kentucky, 2016), and his latest manuscript, tentatively entitled War Councilors: The Combined Chiefs of Staff and the Winning of World War II, is under publication review.

Are you a professor, researcher or writer?  Do you battle with distraction and writer's block?  If so, a writing retreat might be just what you need to finish your project.  Retreats provide academics with distraction-free environments to focus solely on their writing projects, helping them make significant progress in a short time.While teaching a class at Queen Margaret University in Scotland, I stumbled upon a writing retreat just down the hall from my classroom.  I asked Dr. Vani Naik, Researcher Developer at Edinburgh Napier University, for a quick interview on my iPhone.  I'm fascinated with the creative process and thought it could make for an interesting podcast episode.  Let me know what you think. "When you're writing, you're writing, and when you're not writing, you're not writing"   - Vani NaikKey Takeaways•  Writing retreats separate participants from daily demands and distractions• Structured 90-minute writing sessions create focused blocks of productive time• Creative elements like guided walks, yoga, and puzzles enhance productivity• Building community and acknowledging participants personally creates a supportive environment• Sustainable practices academics can incorporate into their regular routines• Separating writing time from non-writing activities is crucial for productivity• Creative approaches to academic writing challenge traditional views of academic seriousness• Participants consistently are surprised at how much they accomplish in short periods• Setting clear boundaries around writing time (out-of-office replies, phones away) enhances focusBio: Dr Vani Naik is Researcher Developer at Edinburgh Napier University, where she supports researchers with their professional development. She's particularly interested in supporting career development, as she recognises how much enjoying your work impacts on wellbeing. She's carved out an enjoyable working life so that the “Sunday Scaries” don't apply, and works to foster this in others. Apart from curating creative writing retreats, she is also keen to support professional development for researcher developers. She is part of an international committee creating one-to-one mentoring pairs, and a UK scheme for peer mentoring circles.What Vani loves about her work is that she can create practical impact from her theoretical PhD thesis work on academic career pathways to the professoriate for women engineers. She has also started her own business with a view to sharing creative practices, providing consulting services to individuals and higher education institutions. Her main interest throughout all her roles is transforming academic barriers into bridges, ensuring that researchers thrive in any chosen career pathway. Hi Friend - If you're enjoying Stories of Change and Creativity, make sure to follow, rate, and leave a 5-star review—it helps more people discover the show.

Why has it been so hard for the world to make progress on climate change over the past 30 years? Maybe it's because we've been thinking about the problem wrong. Academics and economists have often framed climate change as a free-rider or collective action problem, one in which countries must agree not to emit greenhouse gases and abuse the public commons. But maybe the better way to understand climate action is as a fight that generates winners and losers, defined primarily by who owns what. On this week's episode of Shift Key, Rob and Jesse talk with Jessica Green, a political science professor at the University of Toronto. She calls for “radical pragmatism” in climate action and an “asset revaluation”-focused view of the climate problem. Green is the author of the forthcoming book Existential Politics: Why Global Climate Institutions Are Failing and How to Fix Them. Shift Key is hosted by Jesse Jenkins, a professor of energy systems engineering at Princeton University, and Robinson Meyer, Heatmap's executive editor.

Aisha has a fascinating story. A highly motivated student, she initially wanted to be a pediatrician. But as her world expanded, her interests grew into finance and public policy. By her own admission, she was the kind of student who really didn't study that hard. Academics came easy to her. And then there was an unplanned pregnancy and the pressure to abort from her “boyfriend.” Needless to say, life changed considerably.

Tonight, in London, England, a group of writers and thinkers will gather to debate a key cultural question: “Is woke dead?” And tomorrow, the inaugural conference of a new centre for social science kicks off. Academics will gather to talk through the intellectual origins of this movement and its politics, psychology, and driving interests, to establish it as a field of study, and to delve into overlooked topics and perspectives. Our guest on the program is the man behind both of these events, and he joins us to share his thinking on the post-progressive era — and what it might mean for Canada going forward.Eric Kaufmann is a Canadian academic and author. He's a professor of politics at the University of Buckingham, and director of its Centre of Heterodox Social Science.You can find Tara Henley on Twitter at @TaraRHenley, and on Substack at tarahenley.substack.com

Faith, Focus, and Fire: Kingston’s Code introduces 13-year-old Kingston Smith from Columbia, South Carolina, whose swagger, leadership, and high baseball IQ set him apart on and off the field. With a game rooted in discipline, driven by faith, and inspired by flashy pros like Elly De La Cruz, Kingston is building more than a highlight reel—he's crafting a personal code. Finding Baseball and Fueling Passion Kingston didn't begin with baseball—it was football that first shaped his athletic path. But once he took a swing, the game changed everything. “I really get to show my personality a lot,” he says, reflecting on how baseball allows him to be both himself and his heroes. Mimicking players like Jazz Chisholm Jr. and Chandler Simpson, Kingston plays with confidence and fire, adding his own flair to the field. Fast Feet and Fierce Competitiveness His speed and athleticism shine brightest in center field, where his range and instincts make him a natural. He's often a leadoff hitter, consistently reaching base with strong contact and hustle. Kingston's commitment to growth is unmatched—he wakes up at 5:45 a.m. to prep for games and recently completed speed and agility training to sharpen his edge before travel season begins. Leadership, Academics, and a Higher Purpose More than just a ballplayer, Kingston is a leader in school and sport. From organizing team workouts to tutoring classmates, he embodies accountability and mental toughness. “Even if it's not a single, I'm still putting the ball in play,” he says. His character extends into his faith-driven mission as an athlete with Underdog Athletics, a Christian sports program uplifting the next generation. A Personal Code and Powerful Influence Kingston isn't just about flash—he's built on faith, fueled by focus, and plays with fire. Whether it’s rocking the slide mitt, calling mound visits, or helping peers succeed, Kingston lives out the values he speaks. His walkout song, “Feel Me Flow” by Naughty by Nature, blends old-school flair with modern hustle, just like Kingston. Walkout Song: “Feel Me Flow” by Naughty by Nature “No matter what pitch you throw, how fast, how hard, how slow—I'm hitting it.” – Kingston Smith Internal Link: Don’t miss Softball, Superpowers, and Big Banana Ball Dreams, featuring Savanna's inspiring journey and CJ Beatty’s surprise appearance.

In a rare glimmer of hope, 115 Gazans have resettled in France through a university refugee programme, though many had to leave their families behind. Meanwhile, the situation in Gaza grows dire, with 2 million people facing famine, according to the World Health Organization. The World Food Program has exhausted its aid supplies, and while Israel allowed a small number of food trucks to enter on Sunday, humanitarian organisations say it's far from enough after two months of a complete blockade. France 2 has the full report.

Our Constitution does not spend a lot of time detailing foreign policy powers.  We know the president can appoint ambassadors, negotiate treaties and use executive agreements in our relations with other governments.  But beyond that, what is the role of the presidency?  What are the checks and balances with the other branches?  What do we mean when we say foreign policy is an “inherent” power?  To walk us through this complex power, we are pleased to have Dr. James S. Robbins as our guest this week.  Dr. Robbins is Dean of Academics, Institute of World Politics ; Senior Fellow in National Security Affairs at the American Foreign Policy Council; and Former special assistant in the Office of the Secretary of Defense.

Artificial Intelligence is reshaping everything—from classrooms to corporate boardrooms. In this episode, *Upgrade America* tackles how AI is revolutionizing academics, shifting societal norms, and disrupting traditional work structures. Are we witnessing the dawn of an AI-driven education system? And will automation make degrees irrelevant? We also break down the ongoing debate: Is a four-year degree truly worth it anymore? Or is the real money in certifications and skilled trades? With student debt soaring and universities struggling to prove their long-term value, we explore how people are redefining success outside the traditional academic path. Plus, a special shoutout to our loyal *Upgraders* in Germany! You're the largest non-American group tuning in, and we appreciate you rocking with us. Vielen Dank!

It makes sense to be authentic when presenting, because this is the easiest state to maintain.  As someone wise once noted, “if you are going to be a liar you need a stupendous memory to keep up with who you told what”.  Presenting is something similar.  Maintaining a fiction in front of an audience takes a lot of skill.  In fact, if you have that much skill, why worry about faking it in the first place?  Well, there is a place for fakery when presenting, but we need to know when is appropriate. We know that the way we think about things influences how we well we do.  Imposter syndrome is a common state of mind though amongst people, across a broad range of situations.  You might write a blog and put it up on your website, or waffle away on Clubhouse or pontificate to an audience, live or online.  But who are you to talk about this subject? Are you saying anything worthwhile or just regurgitating what far cleverer people have already said?  Do you really know this subject?  Is your experience valuable or even relevant to others?  Are you really qualified to give advice to people running far bigger organisations that your own? Looking over that list, it can be enough to scare you off emerging from the deep depths of your comfy comfort zone ever again.  So, we have to create a positive mindset that “yes”, we have every right to address this subject area, even if we feel a fake when compared to other more famous or clever people.  The funny thing is they suffer the same imposter syndrome too, relative to their illustrious peers.  Academics, for example, are generally a put upon group, because they have to publish their research to get ahead in their careers.  When they publish it, they are now exposing the weaknesses of their intellectual process, their inadequate research ability  or their dubious writing skills, to the entire expert community in their area of defined speciality. Confidence warrants confidence.  If we sound and look confident, most people are likely to ignore the emperor has no clothes and is not perfect.  They will be carried away with our enthusiasm for our subject, with our passionate belief in our findings and our commitment to share the knowledge. The problems crop up when we become nervous speaking in front of others.  Normally, we are quite even keeled and confident, but with all of those beady sets of eyes drilling holes into us, we start to wobble.  Suddenly, our imposter syndrome fears come flooding forth and soon our usual cool, calm, collected façade is torn to shreds, as we are exposed as a self doubting, insecure, fake. Now how would the audience know we are a fake?  Well, we very helpfully tell them, by saying daft things like, “I am rather nervous today”.  Or “I am not very good at presenting”. Or “I didn't have much time to put this presentation together and I am afraid it won't be very good” and any other of the motley collection of dubious, sympathy seeking, self-serving, cop out proclamations.  Do us all a favour and keep all of this imposter syndrome stuff to yourself.  Here is a secret - we all want you to succeed. If you are nervous presenting then fake it, such that you appear at least “normal”, rather than being reduced to a quivering tower of jelly on stage.  If your knees are knocking from the nerves, then stand behind the podium until you feel more comfortable to walk around.  If your hands are shaking and you have to hold a microphone, use both hands and draw it on to your chest, so that your body secures the erratically jiggling instrument.  If your throat is parched, then have warm, room temperature rather than iced water, close by and drink it when you need it.  The iced water constricts your throat and you don't want that, so forgo the usual venue offered beverage and request the no ice alternative.  If you begin to speak and instead of a mellifluent note, out pops a constrained, awkward, embarrassing squeak, then clear your throat and try again.  If you stumble on the pronunciation of a word, try again. If you get the speech points order mixed up or miss one, then fake it and keep going, offering not a hint of anything untoward occurring. If you act enthusiastically, you will become enthusiastic.  If you act confidently, you will become confident.  Yes you might be nervous, but as Winston Churchill said, “if you are going through hell, keep going”.  That is the point. No matter what happens, the show must go on and that means you must keep going.  If it is a disaster, then dust yourself off and climb back in saddle.  As the Japanese saying goes, nana korobi ya oki (七転び八起き) - “fall down seven times, get up eight times”.

Data collection and analysis is a vital step in the fight to end plastic pollution. AI could hold the answers, however it also poses significant challenges. Here we discuss how AI technology is influencing research at the Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Research Organization (CSIRO) and at Wageningen University to see how they are overcoming these new challenges.  

A new research paper published this week is exploring how the treatment of wastewater with alkaline minerals could reduce carbon emissions through the mitigation of ocean acidification. The ocean plays a critical role in the Earth's ecosystem as a ‘carbon sink', absorbing about 30% of the carbon dioxide released into the atmosphere.  As climate change, driven by activities like the burning of fossil fuels and acceleration of land use, has led to an increase in the amount of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere, oceans are absorbing increasing amounts of CO2, increasing ocean acidification and negatively impacting marine life. If scalable, the treatment of wastewater released into the ocean to offset acidification could be a valuable piece in the puzzle of global climate solutions.  Producer Sara spoke with University of Canterbury academics and members of the team at New Zealand cleantech company ‘Aspiring Materials', Dr Matt Watson, and Dr Simon Reid, about the potential for these findings, as well as how carbon sequestration can be maximised for the benefit of the environment. Here is that interview.

As we resume our regular podcast series, the Better Angels Publishing Company is about to embark on its next phase which will feature our newest release, “The NeuroHarmonic Approach,” with its catch-phrase, “Harmonize Your Intelligence - Transform Your Life.”             Now, obviously, that's quite a mouthful, but this is a significantly powerful and innovative program and it's evolved quite a bit over the past year, so, I'd like to give you quick overview of where it stands now and I think you'll be fascinated by the information. Also, as with everything that we produce, our intention is to create a resource that you can use to help you achieve your highest goals as you continue along your own path of personal growth, which is by nature, in a constant state of evolution, expansion and change.    So, let's dig into some of its basics. And as we do, I suggest that you engage in what is often called the “Beginner's Mind,” which means approaching the material as though you're hearing it for the first time - even if you've encountered similar concepts before. When you do that, you naturally let go of old frameworks, open to a fresh perspective and new insights tend to appear. I know that's always been my experience over the years. To put it into context, the origins of the NeuroHarmonic Approach began with some extremely deep experiences that I had many years ago, so let me offer a bit of the backstory, to help you get a sense of how this work came to be, which might help enhance the overall meaning of the material. As you may be aware, the central focus of my adult life has been the exploration and practice of what we've come to call personal growth, which is a path of self-discovery that emphasizes the deepening of awareness. The seed of this pursuit was planted several decades ago, with the sudden death of my father. At age sixteen, it was a devastating shock for me, but it was also accompanied by certain experiences that, for lack of a better word, I can only describe as being metaphysical. I've talked about these before, in my memoir Wilt, Ike & Me, and in some earlier podcast episodes, but for the purposes of this introduction, I want to touch on them here again, briefly. First, the night before he died, I had a vivid, precognitive dream of exactly how I would learn of his death. In precise detail, it included the exact time and place, as well as all of the people who were involved. Then the dream came true the very next night, exactly the way I had dreamt it. Living through those moments is still one of the most unusual experiences I've ever had, because it was like going through a strange blend of past, present and future, almost like being in a déjà vu that lasted for several minutes. Then, about six months later, I had another remarkable dream. In it, my father appeared to me - joyful and full of life.  When I asked him about his death, he smiled and told me that he It wasn't real. “There is no death,” he said. “It's just a public relations stunt that God came up with to get people to think about Him. That's all that it is.” At that point in the dream, he had me give him back his ring, which I had been wearing regularly since his passing. When he touched the ring, the whole room turned into light and I woke up. Then in waking life, just a few hours later that same day, his ring mysteriously disappeared from my locker during gym class - even though the locker was clearly locked and undisturbed, and everything else inside was untouched, including my watch, my other gold ring and my wallet with some cash in it. Although I've described these circumstances many times, I've never been able to truly express what they really did to me. But in hindsight, it's obvious that these events marked a time when some seeds of deep change were planted within me, even though they would take several years to unfold. After some time, I came to two powerful conclusions. The first one is that there is far more to this life than meets the eye. Even though we think we're in an advanced society, we actually understand very little about what's really happening here. Thomas Edison once put it this way, “We don't know one millionth of one percent about anything.” And this was from a major genius who is still considered to be one of the greatest inventors of all time. The fact that this was his point of view should speak volumes to us. So I began to ask myself – Even if it was just in a dream, how could I have experienced a precise visual precognition of events that hadn't happened yet? The details in that dream had been crystal clear and when the events happened in reality, it was 100% accurate. What does that say about the nature of time? It was completely confusing tome, and of course I'm not alone. Even Einstein himself once said that the distinction between past, present, and future is only a stubbornly persistent illusion. Now obviously, I'm no Einstein and probably neither are you. Also, I had to wonder - how could my father's ring have vanished into thin air when I knew without question that the locker was locked and undisturbed when I got back from gym, let alone the fact that my watch, my other ring and my wallet with cash in it were all still there. It made no sense. It simply defied all logic. So, the two dreams – the precognitive one of his death, and the one where I gave him back his ring and then it mysteriously disappeared the next day, put the seeds of some deep thoughts in my head. Which makes sense, because as you can imagine, this sudden and major disruption of time, space and logic was a pretty big deal for an average sixteen-year-old kid. Which brings me to the second conclusion I drew from those days. My father's dramatic death was totally unanticipated.  The massive heart attack that he suffered took him instantly, and neither he nor any of the rest of our family had the slightest idea that a tragedy of this magnitude was about to befall us. For me, this rude introduction to your world being turned upside down by a sudden death drove home the undeniable fact that life can change, or end, at any moment. It happened to him and it could just as easily happen to me. So, like a thief in the night, the idea of the ultimate ticking time bomb got planted somewhere deep within me. As I began to live my life in the new reality that followed, on a deep intuitive level, while I sensed that it was important to resolve the existential questions that were beginning to appear within my mind, the ticking time bomb kept reminding me that I better get on with it because I might not have that much more time. Of course, we're all in the same boat on this, because regardless of external appearances, nobody has any guarantees here. These events happened nearly sixty years ago. This is how I felt about it all back then. And this is how I still feel now.               To continue on this track of early experiences that became critical to my interest in personal growth, during college, I took a course called World Religions. Now I wasn't a serious student at all. In fact, it would be a stretch to consider me a student at all. Academics were more like a nuisance you had to deal with while you lived rest of your college life. The freedom of it alone was intoxicating. The times had gotten pretty crazy back then and as far as being a student, you could say that I had the attention span of a housefly mixed with the philosophical depth of a skunk, so the general odor emanating from my academic life wasn't all that pleasant.               With that being said, I don't even remember why I took World Religions. I'm sure I didn't have any real interest in it. I wouldn't be surprised if I took it because it might have been a “gut course,” which in the parlance of my esteemed fraternity, meant that it didn't require much work to be able to get a good grade. As you can extrapolate, I had gotten in with a pretty smart bunch of guys.               Anyway, I ended up in this class and to my extreme surprise, after a little while, I became quite interested in it. We studied all of the world's major religions and the teacher's point of view was that in essence, they all had the exact same basic understanding, which was that there is one God, who is omniscient, omnipresent, and omnipotent. And as human beings, each one of us has come here to grow into the best possible being that we can and that individually we can grow out of the world's chaos, emerge into the higher realms and ultimately merge with God, even while we're still alive. In fact, according to him, you could say that this is the actual purpose of life here.              As you can surmise, the teacher was quite a learned man and taught that this universal truth that contained all of these deeper understandings, was generally known as the “Wisdom of the Ages.”             Now one thing I've learned in my life is that you never know when something profound is going to come into our consciousness and take you in a new direction. You often don't see it coming and you don't know why or how it happens. It just does. In this case, I wasn't looking for anything other than just an easy way to get a good grade that would boost my cumulative average, so that I could get into a major law school. But without having the slightest idea about it, I subtly found myself moving down a completely different track, and unwittingly, this whole “Wisdom of the Ages” thing took up residence somewhere deep in the back of my mind. There was just something new and gripping about the whole thing The concept that there was a universal truth that had been expressing itself through wise men and women in every culture since the beginning of human history was brand new to me. It was also the first time I had seen beyond the walls of different religious dogmas to the view that essentially, they all had the same basic message - that as a human being, you could somehow evolve your consciousness and then actually merge heart, mind, and soul with God. It was all deeply intriguing. Not to mention the fact that the wise ones said the bliss of living in this elevated state of being was beyond human comprehension. It really captured my imagination. And on top of all this, the American status quo was crumbling from the mushrooming counter-culture movement, Marijuana and psychodelia seemed to be everywhere, fueling it along, and the mind-expanding music that played our soundtrack saw to it that we never missed a beat. You get the picture. And I'd also like to add one of my favorite quotes about those days from the great comedic master, Robin Williams who always insisted, “If you can remember the sixties, you weren't really there.” Well, this is a great place for us to stop. We'll continue the journey in the coming episodes, so as always, keep your eyes, mind and heart opened, and let's get together in the next one.

It was great to see many listeners of the pod in the streets last week, including in Washington DC where the demand Trump Must Go NOW was brought to the gates of the White House. The fascist Trump regime has universities in their sights and are moving against students and the institutions themselves. Sam talks with Emily Van Duyne, one of the authors of the open letter issued by academics at Stockton University on April 2, "Silence is Collaboration: Academics Must Speak Out Against Fascism" which reads in part, "there is no appeasing an openly fascist Trump administration, for we know that no one is safe under fascism. When we keep our heads down and stay the course, the fascists continue to lie, extort like the mobsters they are, and humiliate and attack whoever they add to their list of enemies." Then, Sam talks with Heather Squire, who recently announced she's leaving her doctoral program at the University of Buffalo, issuing an open letter challenging the complicity of her institution in this time of crisis.

An Easter egg scramble begins in The Hague as ministers try to grab a morsel of the €8 billion available in his spring budget statement. The Binnenhof's history as a medieval palace turns out to be even longer and richer than we suspected. Academics at Dutch universities face extra screening to prevent them stealing scientific knowledge, while students are warned about a rise in rent scams. Dutch badminton players fear for the future of the sport after its funding is slashed. And a coot's nest that became a treasure trove of Amsterdam trash is being moved to a museum in The Hague.

GET EXCLUSIVE MENTORSHIP WITH LEIGH https://littlebylittlehomeschool.com/mentorship   Academics is often what brings many families to homeschooling. But then, we realize that so much else is important in our parenting and the home education years. One topic that keeps coming up lately, even in conversations with my grown children, is the balance between rules and relationship with parents and children. And we can easily default to focusing on one over the other. But, in raising our children and reading tons of books, along with the guidance in Scripture, James and I have worked hard to find that balance. Today's episode scratches the surface of this topic and I hope that it is an encouragement for you to lean in to where God is calling you to make adjustments in parenting your homeschool children. ♥ Leigh   RECEIVE LITTLE BY LITTLE HOMESCHOOL CONFERENCE UPDATES: https://littlebylittlehomeschoolconference.subscribemenow.com/   LITTLE BY LITTLE HOMESCHOOL CONFERENCE INFO:  https://littlebylittlehomeschool.com/conference   DESIGN YOUR FAMILY'S UNIQUE HOMESCHOOL THAT YOU'LL LOVE! https://littlebylittlehomeschool.com/blueprint   SIMPLIFY YOUR MEAL PLANNING https://littlebylittlehomeschool.com/meal   CREATE YOUR HOMESCHOOL FAMILY'S HOME TASK SYSTEM https://www.littlebylittlehomeschool.com/tidyhome      Website -  https://www.littlebylittlehomeschool.com Newsletter -  https://littlebylittlehomeschool.subscribemenow.com/ Community - https://www.facebook.com/groups/homeschoollifestylecommunity  Follow - https://www.instagram.com/littlebylittlehomeschool/ Connect - info@littlebylittlehomeschool.com   Listen to these related episodes: 10.
