This week on The Learning Curve, co-hosts Alisha Searcy of DFER and U-Arkansas Prof. Albert Cheng interview Dr. Helen Baxendale, the chief of staff and vice president of strategy at Great Hearts Academies. Dr. Baxendale discusses how her global educational experiences inform her perspective on K-12 policy and Great Hearts' mission to integrate the humanities, math, and science for intellectual and character development. She explains how Great Hearts uses classical texts by Plato, Aristotle, and African-American thinkers like W.E.B. Du Bois and MLK to teach justice and democracy amid today's social divisions. Dr. Baxendale also shares the school's approach to teacher preparation, navigating regulations, and competing in choice-rich, historically lower-performing NAEP states. She concludes with insights into the importance of the classical liberal arts for preparing students for both higher education and the workforce, and her vision for improving U.S. K-12 outcomes.
This month's RC spotlight features an entire family of runners. Arthur and Christine Leyva are so passionate about the sport that they got a local coach to officiate their wedding and now have two kids, Flint and Artistotle, who have caught the running bug as well. They train together and support each other in pursuing some pretty lofty goals including getting into the Boston Marathon Weekend. You'll hear all about it from them, including what they love about running and how it has brought them closer as a family. Arthur and Christine first met through a local running group in Austin, Texas when at the time, Arthur was just starting to get into the sport. Since then, they've gradually become more obsessed with improving their times, and now the whole family shares that common goal. They are incredibly encouraging but also aren't shy about a little healthy competition that makes their story even more fun. During the show, we'll cover fun stories from their family that include: How Arthur and Christine first met through their mutual love of running How running has helped to bring them closer as a family What lessons Arthur and Christine have learned from their running that they are passing on to their kids What running goals each member of the Leyva family is working towards And you'll hear their answer to who is the most competitive person in the family You're going to love hearing from this family of runners, so let's get into it!

In this episode, Ladey Adey interviews Sue Trusler.Following retirement in 2018, at age 55, she returned to her passion for art and built her studio, where she creates beautiful watercolor paintings and pen and ink pointillism drawings.Growing up in the Victorian seaside town of Penarth, Sue then married and now lives in Cardiff. After a busy career in Finance, when both children flew the nest, it was time for a new chapter in her life. The opportunity to enjoy her hobbies, photography, reading, playing the piano, and exploring the countryside. During this episode, we hear how purchasing a small Narrow Boat, with an expectation of relaxing cruises and appreciating a slower pace of life, leads to fate playing a wild card. To complete her dream, Sue wanted traditional roses reinstated on their boat. With no previous art skills, she not only painted their boat but went on to paint canal roses everywhere.Sue's new passion lead to exciting opportunities and experiences. When an artistic door opened, it revealed a whole new skill set to be explored. At the start of this journey Sue discovered there was a gap in the market, she couldn't find a book to assist with painting her Narrow Boat. After a Zoom talk, it was suggested that Sue write a book to help others. Within 5 months Sue designed, wrote, and published her book - Time To Start Your Art. Sue's book starts at the very beginning, introducing Canal Art and techniques. The book is designed for amateur artists, inspiring and arming them with knowledge for them to start their art.Sue is proof that her advice is true "Write about something you feel passionate about and it will resonate throughout your book"Sue's favourite quote “ For the things we have to learn before we can do them, we learn by doing them” - ArtistotleBook 2 is currently in post-it notes, we look forward to hearing when it's ready for release, Finding Magic - Painting With PassionUseful linksGuest: Sue TruslerWebsite: https://suetrusler.com/#news Book link: https://www.amazon.co.uk/Time-start-your-art-passion/dp/1789632676/ Ladey Adey: https://www.ladeyadey.com/ Book Academy: https://www.ladeyadey.com/the-book-academy/ Vicky Galbraith - Podcast VA: www.podcastva.co.uk See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

Are you a Crony?Cronyism is the practice of partiality in awarding jobs and other advantages to friends or trusted colleagues, especially in politics and between politicians and supportive organizations.One of the most basic themes in ethics is fairness, stated this way by Artistotle: "Equals should be treated equally and unequals unequally."

Aristotle Thompson On today's podcast from 2021 Lauren's First and Goal Clinic, running backs coach at Cal Aristotle Thompson shares how he creates the culture in his position room. Aristotle Thompson is in his second season as the running backs coach at Cal in 2021 after spending the previous 11 campaigns in the same role at Cal Poly. Thompson and Cal head coach Justin Wilcox worked together previously at Boise State, first in 2001 when Thompson was an assistant strength and conditioning coach for the Broncos and Wilcox was a graduate assistant in his first season in the coaching profession. The two teamed up again during the 2007 and 2008 seasons with Thompson the assistant director of football operations and Wilcox the defensive coordinator. The Broncos were 30-7 during their three seasons together in Boise and played in bowl games each of the final two years. Thompson was a four-year letterwinner as a running back at Boise State (1997-2000), helping the Broncos to their first two Football Bowl Subdivision (FBS) conference championships with Big West titles in 1999 and 2000. Boise State also won the Humanitarian Bowl both seasons with victories over Louisville (1999) and UTEP (2000).

In his very deep way, the Bet HaLevi explains the power of Sinat Hinam/baseless hatred. He quotes a concept brought down in the Ramban, at the beginning of Bereshit . The Ramban says that when God created the world, two terms were used: Beriah and Yetzirah . Beriah is loosely translated as “ to create ,”and Yetzirah means “to form . ” The Ramban explains that when God created the world, He first had to make something from nothing, which he describes with the Greek term called Koach Hee yu lee ( the heeyulee force). In modern Greek, there is word like that: Hyle (pronounced hile ), and according to Wikipedia in Greek philosophy, hyle refers matter, or stuff. The Greeks originally had no word for matter in general ( as opposed to raw material suitable for a specific purpose), so Artistotle adapted this word hyle for this purpose, in order to express the idea that everything physical is made of the same basic substance. This idea holds up well under modern science, although it may be thought of more in terms of energy or matter-energy ( Wikipedia) This is the force that the Ramban quotes as a Greek philosophy, but we believe that God made something from nothing and He created this force called the First Matter . And after God created the First Matter, He then formed everything into what we have today. Think of it as a Table of Elements of sorts, from which God continued to develop the world. But, of course, God created that original matter. The Bet HaLevi says that when it comes to sins, we have the same concept- Sinat Hinam is the “ hyle ” of all horrific sins that will ever be in the world. That's why Sinat Hinam is so detrimental. When someone hates, he creates, to a certain degree. The “ matter ” for sin is Sinat Hinam. That's why there is no end to this sin. It's a “sin that is not revealed,” because this “hyle” isn't something tangible that you can put your finger on- but look what grows from it afterwards. It's why our Galut continues to grow. There is no end to the possibilities that can come from the original matter of Sinat Hinam , and that's why it's so severe. This is a phenomenal concept: every time someone has Sinat hinam/ baseless hatred, he becomes a creator of matter of future sins between man and his fellow man. Therefor to stop it, you have to stop creating that matter to begin with. Have a wonderful day.

Having asked one question and gotten smacked down, our pilgrim, Dante, dares to ask Virgil a second question. And this one's much harder. So much so that even Virgil seems hesitant in his reply. Why is usury punished so far down in hell, even below the murderers? And why is usury punished among the violent? The answer, which involves Artistotle and Genesis, leads to a place no one could have a predicted: Scholastic reasoning has forced Virgil--and Dante-the-poet--to lay out a basic theory of art. Join me, Mark Scarbrough, as we work through this difficult passage at the back of Canto XI of INFERNO. The pilgrim wants to know the logic of the punishment of usury. Virgil offers him much more. Here are the sections of this episode: [00:56] My English translation of this passage from INFERNO: Canto XI, lines 91 - 114. [02:56] The pilgrim's second question based on Virgil's map of hell: Why is usury placed so far down in hell, at the bottom of the big circle of the violent? [05:26] Virgil's reply--which becomes a theory of art itself. This is a crabbed, tough passage, combining Aristotle's PHYSICS with the Biblical book of Genesis to arrive at a notion of art that anticipates the Renaissance. [15:28] More on the scholastic reasoning that's behind this passage and that will structure the deepest parts of the sins of violence. [18:41] A temporal marker after a map of hell, perhaps the most fascinating lines of all of Canto XI. Support this podcast

I truly believe that man's shortcoming often comes when we egregiously assume positions of binary thinking--that is, the only decisions we are offered are either "0" or "1", "No" or "Yes", "This" or "That." But life is never like that. Artistotle speaks of this Golden Mean that man must seek between virtues and vices. You aren't just simply "Brave" or "Cowardly," because between 0 and 1 there lies infinite possibilities and a perfect cross between your virtues and vices.
Ebwana mambo vipi bina langu ni Yesaya. Ninakukaribisha kwenye mfululizo wa vipindi kwa njia ya sauti yaani Podcast. Dhumuni langu ni kukuelimisha, kukuhabarisha na kukuletea mijadala mbalimbali kuhusu Teknolojia ya Habari na Mawasiliano - TEHAMA, na mimi nitajikita zaidi kwenye mifumo ya computer. Leo tutazungumza namna ya kuweka vipaumbele kwenye kutengeneza mifumo ya kompyuta. Bila kuweka vipaumbele unaweza tengeneza mfumo usioisha au ambao watu hawata tumia. Hivi karibuni nimekutana na mambo mawili ambayo yamenisukuma andaa podcast toleo la leo. Kama utakuwa umenifollow kwenye mitandao ya kijamii basi unaweza kuwa umekutana na post nitazozungumza hapa. Miezi michache iliyopita nilipata bahati pita eneo la Buiko, hapa ninaweza sema ni mpakani kati ya mkoa wa Tanga na Kilimanjaro, nilikutana na jamaa mmoja ambaye ametengeza mashine ya kubebea mizigo hapa mini unaweza sema KIRIKUU. Yeye ni fundi hivyo kwa kumia uzoefu wake na ubunifu ametengeza mashine hii yenye uweza wa kubeba mzigo katika jamii yake kusaidia kusukuma gurudumu la maendeleo. Nilishudia imebeba mzigo mkubwa wa tofali na unaweza angalia kwenye akaunti yangu ya Instagram kuona uwezo wa mashine hiii. Hivi karibuni pia nimekutana na nukuu ya Artistotle, “Well begun is Halt Done”. Hapa nimeelewa kwamba ninaweza anza jambo kwa hatua fulani ya ukamilifu wake. Ndio, huhitaji weka kila kitu kiwe tayari mwanzo, unaweza anza katika mazingira magumu japo lengo ni kufika mbali ya hapo ulipoanza. Niambie unatafari vipi juu ya haya mambo, yawezekana kuna jambo ulipanga anza na wewe uliweka sababu za kukufanya usiendelee kamilisha jambo ulilopanga. Pengine ulisema sina hiki au kile ndio maana sijaweza kamilisha. Mfano mzuri huenda ukawa ulipanga anza kufanya programming lakini huna kompyuta nzuri, ukasema usibiri mpaka utakapo pata muda, au ukasema sasa nina majukumu mengi ukasema usubiri kidogo majukumu yapungue. Sasa basi, hapa nilitaka zungumza mambo ya kuzingatia wakati unaanza tengeneza mifumo ya kompyuta. Lakini pia ni vyema uwe tayari kujidhibiti juu ya vishawishi utakavyopata wakati umeanza kazi au hata ukiwa katika ya utekelezaji. Mara nyingi tunapajadili wazo ambalo tunataka lifanyia kazi liwe mfumo maono yake huwa mazuri na yakupendeza sana. Na mara nyingi ili uweze pata na heshima kwa mteja wako utaongea mambo mbalimbali ya kupamba wazo na namna utakavyolitekeleza, mambo ambayo yatayopelekea mteja apate hamu ya kupata mfumo mapema na kusababisha muda wa mradi kufanyika kwa muda mfupi zaidi. Nilisema mwanzoni utapaswa jizuia, kuna wakati ukiendelea na kazi teknolojia mpya inaweza kuja na kupelekea kazi kuiona itakuwa rahisi kama utatumia teknolojia hiyo. Vumilia maliza na moja uliokuwa unaijua baadae kwenye matoleo ya mbele utaboresha zaidi kutumia teknolojia hiyo mpya. Pia muonekano wa mfumo wako ni eneo la kutazama sana, kwa unaweza poteza muda mwingi kama hautafanya maandalizi mazuri. Na hapa nazungumza hatua ambayo mara nyingi huwa tunaipotezea kidogo. Hii ni hatua ya User Interface Design, tunaenda chukua template flani au tunaanza bahatisha wakati tunaendelea na kazi. Unaweka rangi ya njano mara unaona haijakaa vizuri unaweka blue na baadae mteja pia unasema weka nyekundu. Mpango hauyaweka haya yalipaswa fanyanyika mapema kabisa. Ni vizuri sasa tukazingatia mambo haya ili kutafanya mfumo usiishe na pia ukifanya mpaka hatua flani, shirikisha watumiaji wape waanze tumia utapata mchango mkubwa wa namna ya kuboresha mfumo wako. Nakumbuka WhatsApp ilipoanza tulikuwa hatutumi picha tukawa tunatuma ujumbe tuu, baadae picha tukaanza tumiana ila voice note ilikuwa bado hadi sasa tunaweza piga hata simu za maneno na video pia. Huu ndio ukuaji wa mfumo, kutoka hatua moja mpaka nyingine. Tazama kwa makini uone unaanza na llpi litafuata lipi, yaweke vizuri kwenye mpango kazi wako kisha fanyia utekelezaji kwa kuhakikisha unafikia malengo ulijiwekea. Kwa haya muchachee ninaamini kuna jambo ambalo umeweza jifunza hapa, na hii ni moja ya jitahada kuweka hamasa au sensitisation kuona namna ambayo tunaweza tengeneza mifumo ya kompyuta. Mpaka wakati mwingine, jina langu ni Yesaya.

In this podcast, Stefan shares with you why creating your own empowering morning ritual is a precursor for success. Rituals are the consistent actions that you take that support you in building habits. Those habits then effectively help shape your thoughts, beliefs, and emotions, resulting in a mastery mindset. Artistotle said it best - “We are what we repeatedly do. Excellence, therefore, is not an act, but a habit”. Have you ever wondered how some people wake up happy, energized, and ready to crush the day? The world's most successful people have mastered morning routines. Imagine how good it would feel if you could be MORE productive, happy and energetic on a daily basis. By creating your own empowering morning ritual you are actively changing your life for the better. Commit to a morning ritual. When you master your mind, you master your life.

Persuasion is an art, because too much of it can make you look aggressive and too little makes you a pest. But when applied right Persuasion can get you what you want. Persuasion’s first written accounts are found in ancient Greece, where all trials were held in assembly or in public setting, both Prosecution and Defence rested their case as it's done today but the more persuasive you are, the higher the chances of the decision being in your favour. Persuasion was so essential that Artistotle even provided 3 reason why someone should learn Persuasion. According to Aristotle if you lose a case or trial it’s due to lack of Persuasion skills. Therefore you must learn Persuasion in order to defend yourself. It is an excellent tool for teaching - Because as a teacher your need to have students attention so your message as a teacher can be conveyed effectively. Also, as a teacher your need to gain respect of your students and that can only be accomplished if they see you as an influencer. A good communicator must be able to argue from both end of an argument Furthermore, Aristotle provided 3 key ingredients that an effective persuasion master must have: ethos (credibility) logos (reason) pathos (emotion).....continue reading
And today we have news: ast week something finally happened, something I always dreamed of, ever since I was 18 years old—I got called up for jury duty. I’m thrilled to be able to do my civic duty, not just because since I was 18 years old I’ve been mainlining old episodes of Law and Order, but also because because it gives me a front row seat to the world of forsensic rhetoric. Today on Mere rhetoric, we’re going to talk about the illustrious history of forsensic rhetoric. But first just a reminder that you can subscribe to this podcast on iTunes, or follow us on twitter at mererhetoricked (that’s mererhetoric followed by a ked) or email us at mererhetoricpodcast@gmail.com. Ok, so when we think about rhetoric, we often think of it as a foil to philosophy. Something completely unrelated to everyday life, abstract and smartsy-artsy. But for the ancient greeks, rhetoric was a cold, hard necessity. The Ancient Greeks of around 467 BC were a litigious group, constantly hauling each other into court. It was one of the great things about having such awell developed government, that you could drag your neighbor into court and get some money out of them. But in ancient Greece you didn’t have a professional corp of lawyers to fight your battles for you. If you were going to sue your neighbor, you were suing your neighbor and you had to make a case and that meant you had to give a good argument. Rhetoric historian George A Kennedy even claims that rhetoric as an art arose because of this legal imperative. He writes, "Citizens found themselves involved in litigation... and were forced to take up their own cases before the courts. A few clever Sicilians developed simple techniques for effective presentation and argumentation in the law courts and taught them to others” "Anyone reading the classical rhetorics soon discovers that the branch of rhetoric that received the most attention was the judicial, the oratory of the courtroom. Litigations in court in Greece and Rome were an extremely common experience for even the ordinary free citizen--usually the male head of a household--and it was a rare citizen who did not go to court at least a half a dozen times during the course of his adult life. Moreover, the ordinary citizen was often expected to serve as his own advocate before a judge or jury. The ordinary citizen did not possess the comprehensive knowledge of the law and its technicalities that the professional lawyer did, but it was greatly to his advantage to have a general knowledge of the strategies of defense and prosecution. As a result the schools of rhetoric did a flourishing business in training the layperson to defend himself in court or to prosecute an offending neighbor." (Edward P.J. Corbett and Robert J. Connors and so rhetoric came to the Greeks. Teaching other people how to argue their own cases was the first form of rhetorical education. Eventually, the greeks came up with the idea of the logographer. So since you have to give your own case, the courts allowed you to get help from one and only one friend or relative….or professional ringer. The logographer would hear your case and write a speech written in your voice and then you would memorize the speech so that you could present it in court. People who knew you well might be surprised at how elquant and wise you sounded, but it might help you win the case after all. Some of the best rhetoricians of the ancient world did stints as logographers. Demosthenes, the rabble-rouser who almost toppled Alexander the Great, was a logographer, as was the great rhetoric teacher Isocrates. Lysias, the orartor who inspired Plato’s Phaedrus, was a logographer, too, and Antiphon. So logography has a long and nobel tradition, even though it was, essentially like getting your speech written by a professional ringer. Arguments were made in the ancient world, like now, that there was something unfair about the way that rich people could buy the best defense. Many of the ancient complaints against rhetoric, like those made by Socrates in the gorgia, were against logographer’s ability to write as good of an argument against a position as for it. When a logographer could be hired for the defense or the prosecution, they weren’t perceived as sincere as someone who was arguing in court about their own life, property and freedom. And what might go into Athenian forensic thetoric? What were those logographers writing? Well, to understand that, you have to understand a few things about Law and Order: Athens. First, this was a trial by jury, but it wasn’t necessary people like me getting called up for jury selection. People volunteered to be on a jury, because you did get paid. It wasn’t enough to volunteer, though you had to be selected. But sometimes it wasn’t necessarily selective. There could be hundreds of jurors on a jury—up to 500! And the jury had a lot of power—the judge didn’t decide the trial outcome at all, only the jury. So in appealing to a jury, you were appealing to a large group of people, a lot like making a political speech, really. In Athenian justice, reputation meant a lot to these juries, so many of the witnesses were just good and/or famous people brought it in say that they did or didn’t think the plaintiff did it—regardless of whether they were actually an eyewitness. It also helped to have some graphic description of the wrong done and make appeals to the common man—these jurors did want to be entertained while they decided after all. Some great early pieces of rhetoric were, in fact, legal speeches. In some cases we don’t know whether these speeches were actually ever used in court or if they were used for demonstrating a logographer or rhetoric teacher’s ability. For example, Isocrates wrote “real” forensic pieces like “Against Lochites, Aegineticus, Against Euthynus, Trapeziticus, Span of Horses, and Callimachus.” Even though he always said that he wasn’t fit for the court. He may have been working as a logographer for someone else, or they might not have been cases that were actually tried. Some of these court cases are pretty crazy, showing how you didn’t have to be famous to sue someone. The speech against Lochites - where "a man of the people" irX1790vs is the speaker - exhibits much rhetorical skill. The speech about the horses concerns An Athenian citizen had complained that Alcibiades had robbed him of a team of four horses, and sues the statesman's son and namesake (who is the speaker) for their value. Isocrates also wrote faux forencis speeches.“Against the Sophists” and “Antidosis” defend his character and profession against imaginary lawsuits. Forencis examples were common for a rhetorician to show off his capacities in what kind of defendents he could write for and one popular form of rhetoric was to write a defense of someone who isn’t actually going to see the inside of a court room, or to write a legal argument for a case long settled. Students of rhetoric, too, engaged in a lot of forensic rhetoric. The progymnasmata, or series of exercises used in training a young rhetor, included crucial steps of defending or protesting a law and writing definitions of what is and isn’t just. Forensic rhetoric drove rhetorical education forward. Eventually legal speeches became a clear genre of rhetoric, one of several. By the time Aristotle writes On Rhetoric, legal, or forsencic rhetoric is, along with deliberartive and epideictic one of the three major categories of rhetoric that Artistotle classifies. Aristotle spends 6 chapter discussing forensic rhetoric. At the beginning he sets up the primary “means or persuasion” in forensic rhetoric. He suggests 3 things need to be considered: “1. For what purposes persons do wrong 2. How these persons are mentally disposed 3. What kind of persons they wrong and what these persons are like.” He also explores abstract ideas like what kind of wrongs are being done when someone breaks the law, and The Koinon of Degree of Magnitude"which states: "A wrong is greater insofar as it is caused by greater injustice. Thus the least wrong can sometimes be the greatest.” Pretty heady stuff. If greeks were good at setting up legal rhetoric, the Romans took it to a new level. Romans love laws. Even more than laws, they love talking about laws: which ones are just, which ones are misinterpreted, which ones are being faunted. Arguably, arguing was their greatest art. One of the greasted of these contentious legal types of Cicero. In The orator Cicero emphasizes the importance of learning all of the ins and outs of the law if you want to become a rhetor, because it was assumed that you would be involved in the court system on one side or the other. Again, this was all personal—the idea of separate lawyers who represent you in court is only a few hundred years old. So what does this have to do with what I’ll expect to see when I show up for jury duty? Well, I don’t think I’ll see the defendant and plantiff respresenting themselves, although they might, especially if this is one of those sweet small-claims deals. If not, there will be lawyers who rae taking the case not because of any great affection for the parties, but because they’re getting paid. And they will be making speeches, not because they have any great passion for it, but because they’re professionals good at what they do. Acutaly, if you think about the complaints that people make against lawyers in our society—that they’re insincere and slimy and only after the money—those are the same complainst people had of logographers and rhetors. The legal arguments I’ll hear will almost certainly invoke ideas of wrongdoing and talk about the character of the parties involved. And I and my five or eleven fellow jurors will get a say in justice, just like the hundreds of Athenian jurors back in the days of Isocrates.
