He is also a Founding Board Member of the Alliance for Global Security (AGS), and Member of the Editorial Board of the Journal of Geoeconomics. His recent article said: “The White House's budgetary aspirations indicate (Trump's America) is not an expansionist and imperialist America, but an insular, enfeebled and politically divided country that harks back to the 1920s and 1930s… Put simply, these budget priorities coupled with the neo-mercantilist and zero-sum rhetoric of the Trump administration on trade suggest a retrenchment to the Western Hemisphere, and a tacit recognition of Russian and Chinese claims to their alleged spheres of influence.” He asks: Is America imperialist or isolationist?

Professor Keith Davids is Professor of Motor Learning at the Centre for Sport and Exercise Science. Keith uses an Ecological Dynamics framework for investigating skill acquisition, expertise and talent development in sport. He is an applied scientist who researches how processes of learning, development, performance preparation and participation in sport, physical activity and exercise may be facilitated. He reviews implications for coaching and teaching at elite, sub-elite and recreational levels of participants, as part of his work. Ecological Dynamics is an integration of Ecological Psychology, Dynamical Systems theory, Evolutionary Science and the Science of Complex Systems, considering individual athletes and teams as complex adaptive systems, self-organising under interacting constraints. Such systems change over different timescales, which has significant implications for learning, development and ageing in children, adults and elderly people. He has over 30 years experience of teaching and conducting research in Ecological Dynamics with collaborators in UK, Portugal, France, Australia, Germany, New Zealand, Finland, Norway and Sweden in related fields like Sports Science, Psychology, Behavioural Neuroscience, Sports Coaching, Physical Education and Human Movement Science.

Frank Graves is the gold standard when it comes to predictive research. Frank, Adjunct Research Professor, Department of Sociology and Anthropology Carleton University, is all about research and has been for 30 years. We talk: The rise of fascism Polarization trends Disinformation/Misinformation and who is targeted Lousy faith actors, statecraft, or domestic organic insanity Who "Believes this shit"? Frank has those numbers. Research tells you about the sustainability of the freedom movement, and who buys into the idea that you can overthrow the government with a few trucks and a hot tub?

I've been following the research on burnout, PTSD and resiliency for a few years because I find adaptive changes in the brain and nervous system so fascinating. Getting real results with patients often involves us recognizing the impact of their mindset, nervous system regulation and level of burnout/resilience as we construct a plan. We can easily see how a patient would find it hard to do a particular part of their plan if they couldn't afford it, if the resources were too far from their house or if they were downright allergic to the suggestion. But when we think about resiliency, we often have preconceived ideas about what that means, and how “resilient” we are or aren't. Dr. Jenny Liu is a Postdoctoral Associate with the MacDonald Franklin OSI Research Centre and an Adjunct Research Professor in the Department of Psychiatry, Schulich School of Medicine, Western University. Dr. Liu's background is in the science of stress and resilience. She works with stakeholders to identify the determinants of resilience in different communities and support efforts to promote or build resilience using a number of evidence-informed strategies and approaches. In this amazing episode, we talk about the definition of resiliency, how you need to reframe the way you consider yourself and your support systems and how you can change how you feel about your stressors just by focusing on the pillars of resilience. Her free self-assessment app is available online at https://twitter.com/resilient_u and is a great place for people to start to understand what is influencing their ability to show up as their best selves every day. You can follow Jenny on Twitter at https://twitter.com/resilient_u

It's folks who had this creative vision and realized maybe the technology can meet it there; but then they really took technology where there wasn't any real solid reason to believe it was gonna be possible to do it. And they just made it happen anyway.” - Paul Debevec “The goal is to try to create tools for filmmakers and every so often this beautiful marriage of art and technology comes together. There's things ripe for the picking that maybe no one's quite seen yet that they're gonna get, and it's gonna blow everybody away and it's gonna be the next Matrix or the next Gravity.”- Paul Debevec “LED panels that have a wider color gamut have worse color rendition, they light stuff funnier because they have to put the RGB LEDs further out in weird parts of the spectrum to do that. But it dramatically increases the polarization. I think we're not too far away from people releasing panels that will have that additional color and it, and it's probably gonna be white and we know how to drive it.”- Paul Debevec “You can invert that matrix and apply the inverse of that matrix to your in-camera pixels in the frustum so that your frustum now looks like it has bad color rendition. So without having to separate foreground and background, you put it all through that post correction matrix. It fixes considerably three quarters of color rendition and skin looks a heck of a lot better.” - Paul Debevec Connecting with the Guest:Twitter: https://twitter.com/debfx Website: http://www.pauldebevec.com/ Siggraph: https://www.siggraph.org/ Connecting with CG Pro:Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/groups/becomecgproInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/becomecgpro/Website: https://www.becomecgpro.com/Twitter: https://twitter.com/becomecgpro RSVP here for upcoming CG Pro Podcasts: https://www.eventbrite.com/o/cg-pro-39748423833 #virtualproduction #technology #filmmaking

The Rohingya have often felt forgotten, cast aside by the global community after being brutally cast out of Myanmar. But the UN's top court is siding with Rohingya and ordering Myanmar to protect the minority Muslim group. Is the break the Rohingya have long needed? The Crisis Next Door host Jason Brooks puts that question to Dr. Azeem Ibrahim, Director of the program on Displacement and Migration at the Center for Global Policy. He is also an Adjunct Research Professor at the Strategic Studies Institute, US Army War College, and authored the books, "The Rohingyas: Inside Myanmar's Hidden Genocide.", AND "Radical Origins:Why We Are Losing The Battle Against Islamic Extremism" See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
Across Bangladesh's frontier with Myanmar are sprawling camps, teeming with Rohingya refugees, pushed out of Myanmar in a military crackdown two years ago. They have nowhere to go, and no one wants them. On The Crisis Next Door I discuss the plight of the Rohingya with Dr. Azeem Ibrahim, Director of the program on Displacement and Migration at the Center for Global Policy. He is also an Adjunct Research Professor at the Strategic Studies Institute, US Army War College, and authored the book, "The Rohingyas: Inside Myanmar's Hidden Genocide."

SACPA is proud to present this session as part of the Gordon Campbell Memorial Speaker Series. China is achieving Great Power status based on its economic prowess, its political clout and its increasingly capable military. With the US under President Trump seemingly less willing to lead, China has shown a willingness to take onto itself a much more prominent role. President Xi Jingping and President Trump have, surprisingly, found much common ground, both on trade issues, but also in dealing with the dangerous question of North Korea's nuclear and missile capability. What does a rising China mean for Canada, and for the international community? What are the benefits and what are the risks of a prosperous Chinese state and a mature or possibly declining United States? Issues ranging from the South China Sea to the Korean Peninsula will be addressed. Speaker: Gordon Houlden Professor Gordon Houlden is the Director of the China Institute, Professor of Political Science and Adjunct Professor of Business at the University of Alberta He is also Adjunct Research Professor at China's National Institute for South China Sea Studies. Professor Houlden is a former Canadian Foreign Service Officer, with 22 years working on Chinese affairs for the Government of Canada, including 5 China postings. He has also served on the Board of Governors of the International Development Research Centre, a federal Crown Corporation. Under his leadership, the China Institute has focused on contemporary China studies, with an emphasis on Canada's trade, investment and energy linkages with the People's Republic of China.
