Abélard est l'un des plus grands penseurs, dialecticiens et théologiens du XIIe siècle. Ceux qui ne le connaissent pas l'associent à Héloïse et aux célèbres lettres d'amour qu'ils ont échangées. Pourtant son oeuvre fut très importante pour la philosophie de son époque et la suivante, car son apport a brisé des cadres de pensée et produit des influences décisives.Article de la revue Acropolis de mai 2025, par Esmeralda Merino de Nouvelle Acropole Espagne.

Pourpre-Sang T.1 : Le Cercle de Nimuée est une bande dessinée de Léo Chérel, publiée par Astrolabe suit Sauln et sa disciple Lorinte, chasseurs de monstres au service des plus démunis. Leur métier mêle devoir moral et difficultés matérielles, jusqu'à la rencontre d'Adèle d'Aubépine, jeune noble cherchant une escorte pour se rendre à la réception du gouverneur de l'archipel. Pour en parler avec nous, nous recevons Thomas Jacquart, directeur de BDfugue.com. Avec lui, nous allons aborder l'album sous deux angles : d'abord celui du lecteur — personnages, rythme, imaginaire, accessibilité — puis celui du libraire et du professionnel : comment défendre un premier tome, comment installer une nouvelle maison, comment vendre aujourd'hui de la fantasy franco-belge dans un marché déjà très encombré ?

In this special episode, Renee Sills interviews director Hayley Garrigus and the astrologer and founder of Astrolabe, Gary Christen, about Star Cash - their recently released documentary on financial astrology. The three discuss the reputation of astrology across time; speculate on possible futures for both astrology and the financial market, following the recent Jupiter-Saturn conjunction and the movement of Pluto and Uranus from Earth to air signs; and Hayley and Gary share their hopes and intentions for the release of the film.Star Cash is now available to purchase here, and will be available on select streaming sites soon.✨✨✨UPCOMING AT EMBODIED ASTROLOGY:

Nous sommes toujours ravis de pouvoir accompagner le lancement d'une nouvelle maison d'édition et l'avons fait à de multiples reprises au cours des dernières années, que ce soit avec 404 Comics (rebaptisé 404 Graphic depuis), Seidkona Press et il n'y a pas si longtemps avec Morgen. Chose amusante, la structure qui nous intéresse aujourd'hui a quelques points communs avec cette dernière, notamment sur le fait de proposer des créations originales faites par des auteurs venus des comics. Le projet s'appelle Astrolabe, c'est de la création, et le navire se lance en librairie aujourd'hui !De la créa' avec des auteurs de comics !Vous avez eu l'habitude de le retrouver pour discuter des bilans Urban Comics, mais cette fois-ci François Hercouët ne dira pas une seule fois (ou presque) le nom de cette maison d'édition, puisque c'est bien lui que l'on retrouve à la tête d'Astrolabe en compagnie de Thierry Fraysse et Sarah Chantepie (que nous avons déjà reçu dans le podcast et que nous retrouverons prochainement assurément). Le directeur nous présente les lignes de cette nouvelle structure avec les projets à venir cette année, dont les nouveaux albums de Sean Murphy et Matteo Scalera, mais aussi et surtout pour ce lancement de la première créa' originale qu'il édite, le superbe Pourpre-Sang Tome 1 de Léo Cherel.

Les catégories socioprofessionnelles (CSP) ont longtemps constitué la colonne vertébrale de la segmentation client en France. Or ces nomenclatures, dont on oublie parfois qu’elles ont officiellement changé de nom dans les classifications de l’INSEE dès les années 1980, continuent de structurer les analyses marketing de nombreuses enseignes. C’est ce paradoxe que Philippe Le Magueresse, fondateur d’Océans et Astrolabe et ancien directeur général adjoint d’OpinionWay, a choisi de mettre au centre d’un webinaire organisé avec Visionary Marketing. Son propos est de montrer pourquoi les outils classiques de segmentation masquent autant qu’ils révèlent, et comment une approche fondée sur l’hybridation des données transforme la connaissance client en levier de décision réel. Segmentation client : pour aller au-delà des CSP Segmentation client Les CSP, un outil de segmentation client dépassé Le titre du webinaire, « Segmenter les consommateurs au-delà des CSP », n’est pas anodin. Si l’acronyme a techniquement été remplacé par « PCS » (professions et catégories socioprofessionnelles), le terme reste d’usage courant dans les directions marketing, par habitude autant que par commodité. Le Magueresse ne s’y attarde pas. Ce qui lui importe, c’est de montrer ce que ces catégories ne permettent pas de voir. Un cas tiré de la distribution alimentaire Il l’illustre avec un exemple concret tiré de la distribution alimentaire. La pénétration d’une enseigne analysée selon les découpages traditionnels (sexe, âge, statut, région, catégorie d’agglomération, CSP) donne une image relativement lisse. Les variations autour de la moyenne restent faibles et les écarts passent sous le radar. Remplacez cette grille par une lecture fondée sur les SocioPhases (une typologie en neuf classes construite à partir des données ouvertes de l’INSEE à la maille Iris, développée par la société Oktos, voir encadré ci-dessous) et l’image change radicalement. Les variations de pénétration vont de 1 à 2,5 selon les classes. « La moyenne ne décrit pas vraiment la réalité de la clientèle de cette enseigne. Elle masque des dynamiques très différentes. » Les SocioPhases expliquées par l’exemple La maille Iris, unité de base de l’analyse territoriale La maille Iris mérite une explication. Unité géographique de référence de l’INSEE, elle regroupe environ 2 000 habitants partageant des caractéristiques homogènes d’habitat et de population. On peut combiner à cette échelle des données de revenus, d’activité, de prix de l’immobilier et des résultats de bureaux de vote. Il devient ainsi possible de créer des typologies, non sur la donnée déclarative, mais sur des comportements et des descripteurs objectifs. On obtient ainsi neuf classes qui rendent compte de la réalité sociale, territoriale et patrimoniale des Français. Ce niveau de précision ne peut être atteint avec les CSP. Ruraux en crise, ruralité profonde : quand la nuance change tout L’exemple des deux classes les plus pénétrées par l’enseigne étudiée illustre la valeur opérationnelle de cette approche. « Ruraux en crise » et « ruralité profonde » présentent des taux de pénétration proches (autour de 36 %) et des poids comparables. Pourtant, leur contribution au chiffre d’affaires diffère sensiblement, tout comme leur part d’achats réalisés sous promotion. Bases de données comportementales et métaphore du lampadaire La ruralité profonde, financièrement plus à l’aise, achète moins sous promo. Les ruraux en crise y recourent davantage. Pour un distributeur qui investit massivement dans la promotion, cette distinction n’est pas anecdotique. Elle conditionne directement le retour sur investissement de campagnes entières. Les bases de données comportementales, aussi riches soient-elles, tournent en rond. Ces bases permettent d’expliquer des comportements par d’autres comportements. C’est la métaphore du lampadaire. On cherche là où il y a de la lumière, pas nécessairement là où se trouvent les réponses. Les typologies géosociales apportent ce pas de côté. Elles offrent une clé de lecture extérieure aux données internes de l’enseigne. Ce qui permet d’éclairer les clients avec des variables sans rapport direct avec leurs habitudes d’achat. La fragmentation des données, un problème d’organisation autant que d’outils Si ces approches existent, pourquoi ne sont-elles pas plus largement adoptées ? La réponse de Le Magueresse est sans détour. Ce n’est pas une question d’outils. Ce qui fait obstacle, c’est l’organisation et la culture. Dans la plupart des entreprises, les fonctions marketing sont découpées en silos étanches. Connaissance client, activation CRM, communication, relation client. Chaque département arrive en réunion avec ses propres indicateurs, ses propres définitions, ses propres logiques. « On passe 80 % de la réunion à s’aligner sur les chiffres, et il reste très peu de temps pour décider. » Le problème culturel est encore plus profond. Il repose sur une croyance implicite selon laquelle chaque département, en optimisant ses propres résultats, contribue à l’optimum global de l’entreprise. Or dans aucun système l’optimum global n’est obtenu par la somme des optimums locaux. L’exemple de l’acquisition et de la fidélisation l’illustre bien. Une équipe acquisition qui réalise 120 % de ses objectifs en recrutant des profils inadaptés génère mécaniquement une chute du réachat. Le problème n’est pas la performance individuelle. C’est l’absence de langage commun. Pourquoi en sommes-nous encore là ? Cette situation appelle un commentaire direct. Le secteur de la distribution traverse une crise structurelle sévère. Les fermetures de commerces de centre-ville se multiplient et plusieurs enseignes de grande distribution affichent des résultats sous pression. Le data marketing existe précisément pour apporter les réponses que l’intuition ne peut plus fournir seule. Il est donc assez sidérant de constater qu’au XXIe siècle, des organisations dépensent encore 80 % de leur temps de réunion à s’accorder sur la définition d’un indicateur plutôt que de mettre en œuvre des innovations pourtant disponibles. Ce n’est pas un problème de technologie. Les outils existent, les données sont accessibles en open data et les typologies comme les SocioPhases sont opérationnelles. C’est un problème de gouvernance et de culture d’entreprise. Tant que chaque département optimise son propre périmètre sans vision transversale, les arbitrages resteront sous-optimaux et les occasions manquées s’accumuleront. Quand l’algorithme devient le manager : la leçon Amazon La question de l’algorithme-manager n’est pas théorique. Dans ses entrepôts français, Amazon a poussé cette logique à son terme. Des scanners enregistraient en temps réel chaque geste des préparateurs de commandes, mesurant les temps d’inactivité à la seconde et déclenchant des alertes automatiques en cas d’écart de productivité. La CNIL a sanctionné Amazon France Logistique à hauteur de 32 millions d’euros fin 2023 pour surveillance jugée excessivement intrusive. Le Conseil d’État a partiellement réduit cette amende à 15 millions en décembre 2025. Tout en reconnaissant le principe de la surveillance algorithmique du travail comme légalement encadrable. Ce cas illustre une tension réelle. L’algorithme peut piloter les tâches quotidiennes avec une précision qu’aucun manager humain ne pourrait atteindre, mais au prix d’une pression continue que les salariés peinent à absorber. Absentéisme élevé, turnover important, accidents du travail en hausse dans les entrepôts français : le bilan social parle de lui-même. La donnée ne saurait être un instrument de contrôle brut. Elle doit s’inscrire dans une intention managériale, ce qu’illustre précisément Le Magueresse lorsqu’il rappelle que l’IA ne donne pas le sens. La donnée ne parle pas d’elle-même C’est ici que la segmentation client retrouve sa fonction première. Non pas décrire des populations, mais créer un référentiel partagé entre des équipes qui, faute de base commune, se parlent sans se comprendre. Comme le formule Le Magueresse, une donnée s’interprète, on la contextualise, on lui donne un sens et on la met en relation avec des décisions à prendre. La chaîne de transformation (données, informations, connaissances, décisions) n’est pas automatique. Elle suppose un travail collectif d’interprétation que ni la technologie ni l’IA ne peuvent court-circuiter. Ce point mérite qu’on s’y arrête à l’heure où les outils d’intelligence artificielle se multiplient à un rythme qui dépasse la capacité d’absorption des organisations. L’IA peut déclencher des actions et automatiser des décisions opérationnelles, mais elle n’a pas de direction propre. La différenciation entre enseignes ne se jouera pas sur la puissance des algorithmes, auxquels tous auront accès, mais sur la qualité des données qui les alimentent et sur les intentions que les équipes leur assignent. Retail, banque, télécoms : une approche transversale Le Magueresse se garde de cantonner son propos au retail alimentaire, même si c’est là que les démonstrations sont les plus parlantes. Le principe des SocioPhases s’applique à tout secteur qui dispose d’une base de données clients géolocalisée. Dans la banque, la grille permet de décomposer le produit net bancaire par classe et d’identifier les segments à fort potentiel ou à risque de décrochage. Pour ce qui est des télécoms, c’est l’ARPU (revenu moyen par utilisateur) qui se prête à cette lecture. Dans la distribution spécialisée, ce sont les comportements d’achat saisonniers ou les réponses aux opérations promotionnelles. La maille IRIS dans la segmentation client L’intérêt de la maille Iris est précisément là. Elle est assez fine pour coller à la réalité locale d’un point de vente. Un directeur de magasin dont la zone de chalandise est dominée par des classes aisées n’a pas les mêmes besoins en termes de facing et d’assortiment qu’un homologue implanté en zone périurbaine en difficulté. Les préconisations nationales des centrales d’achat ne peuvent pas rendre compte de cette hétérogénéité. L’accord récemment signé entre Carrefour et la société Vusion illustre la direction que prend le secteur. Ce partenariat déploie des étiquettes électroniques et des caméras pour piloter la vie du rayon en temps réel. La donnée devient opérationnelle et immédiate, capable de déclencher des réassortiments automatiques, tout en recélant une valeur analytique à plus long terme pour ajuster les assortiments locaux. Les prochaines étapes de la segmentation client Dès lors qu’une enseigne contrôle électroniquement l’affichage des prix, elle dispose d’une réactivité nouvelle pour gérer les produits en fin de vie ou à date limite de consommation courte. Ce n’est pas seulement une opportunité commerciale. C’est aussi une réponse concrète au gaspillage alimentaire. La même donnée, réutilisée dans une autre temporalité, permet d’affiner les prévisions de production et de réduire les ruptures. « La donnée est un bien non rival. On peut l’utiliser plusieurs fois. Elle ne s’use pas. » Cette propriété, trop souvent négligée, est au cœur de la valeur que Le Magueresse cherche à faire comprendre aux organisations qu’il accompagne. Le directeur marketing de demain, un algorithme? Quant à savoir si le directeur marketing sera un jour remplacé par un algorithme, question posée en référence à l’ouvrage de Stéphane Amarsy Mon directeur marketing est un algorithme paru il y a une dizaine d’années, la réponse est nuancée. Le directeur marketing sera de plus en plus épaulé par l’intelligence artificielle. Mais c’est à lui, et aux équipes qu’il anime, de définir le projet collectif derrière la marque, d’orienter l’exploitation des outils et de donner une intention aux machines. Ce travail-là, aucun algorithme ne peut le faire à sa place. La segmentation client, dans ce cadre, n’est pas un outil parmi d’autres. C’est le socle d’un langage commun sans lequel les organisations continueront de s’épuiser à optimiser des silos, pendant que d’autres, plus lucides, auront choisi de tirer dans le même sens. Qu’est-ce que les SocioPhases ? Les SocioPhases sont une typologie géosociale propriétaire développée par Oktos, société française de data marketing fondée en 1993. Il s’agit de la première typologie construite à la maille Iris en neuf classes et trente sous-classes, représentative des 67 millions de Français et des 50 700 Iris du territoire métropolitain. Contrairement aux CSP, qui classent les individus selon leur profession déclarée, les SocioPhases décrivent des environnements de vie. Elles combinent les données du recensement INSEE 2022, les valeurs foncières de 2014 à 2024, et les résultats des élections présidentielles 2022 et des législatives 2024. Aucune donnée déclarative n’est utilisée, uniquement des données objectives en open data. Le principe directeur est la mesure de l’ouverture ou de la fermeture des territoires sur le monde. Cette dimension, absente des typologies classiques, s’avère fortement corrélée aux comportements de consommation, à la sensibilité aux prix, à la réponse aux promotions et à la fidélité aux enseignes. Oktos propose deux typologies complémentaires. Les ImmoPhases sont axées sur la valeur immobilière des territoires et comptent huit classes. Les OnomaPhases constituent une segmentation générationnelle en cinq classes fondée sur l’analyse de 30 852 prénoms sur 120 ans d’histoire. Les trois typologies peuvent être croisées et intégrées directement dans les bases de données comportementales des entreprises via la clé Iris ou l’adresse postale, dans le strict respect du RGPD. À propos de Philippe Le Magueresse Philippe Le Magueresse est fondateur d’Océans et Astrolabe, cabinet spécialisé dans la structuration des arbitrages data marketing. Ancien directeur général adjoint d’OpinionWay, où il a dirigé les études marketing avant de développer une activité d’hybridation des données, il accompagne depuis plus de trente ans des organisations (principalement dans le retail, la distribution et les services) dans leur transformation par la donnée. Il intervient également à l’EBG (Electronic Business Group), principal think-tank français sur l’innovation digitale.

Merriam-Webster's Word of the Day for January 23, 2026 is: astrolabe • A-struh-layb • noun An astrolabe is a compact instrument used to observe and calculate the position of celestial bodies before the invention of the sextant. // The new astronomy exhibit featured various gadgets and instruments, including an extensive collection of astrolabes. See the entry > Examples: “‘Renaissance Treasures' includes two contemporary navigational devices, a planispheric astrolabe from Persia and a pocket compass (think of them as beta-version GPS), as well as two Mercator globes. One dates from 1541 and shows the surface of the Earth. The other dates from 1551 and shows the heavens ...” — Mark Feeney, The Boston Globe, 9 May 2025 Did you know? “Thyn Astrolabie hath a ring to putten on the thombe of thi right hond in taking the height of thinges.” Thus begins a description of an astrolabe in A Treatise on the Astrolabe, a medieval user's guide penned by an amateur astronomer by the name of Geoffrey Chaucer. Chaucer is best known for his Middle English poetic masterpiece The Canterbury Tales, but when his nose wasn't buried in his writing, Chaucer was stargazing, and some of his passion for the heavens rubbed off on his son Lewis, who had displayed a special “abilite to lerne sciences touching nombres and proporciouns.” Chaucer dedicated his treatise to the 10-year-old boy, setting his instructions not in the usual Latin, but in “naked wordes in Englissh” so that little Lewis could understand. When he got older, Lewis may have learned that the word astrolabe traces to the Late Greek name for the instrument, astrolábion.

Mechanical Engineering was the first branch of engineering to be understood by ancient civilizations. The wheel and the plough are testament to this fact. From the wheel to the steam locomotive, this episode traces the evolution of human societies and commerce, with the evolution of technology.

Heloise was a strong-willed and gifted woman who was fluent in Latin, Greek and Hebrew, and came from a lower social standing than Abelard. At age 19, and living under her uncle Fulbert's roof, Heloise fell in love with Abelard, who she was studying under. Not only did they have a clandestine affair of a physical nature, they had a child, Astrolabe, out of wedlock. Discovered by the Fulbert (who was a Church official), Abelard was assaulted by a hired thug, and Heloise entered a convent. Abelard was exiled to Brittany, where he lived as a monk. Eventually Heloise became abbess of the Oratory of the Paraclete, an abbey which Abelard had founded.It was at this time that they exchanged their famous letters, presented in this book. The letters, originally written in Latin, are passionate both in the remembrance of lost love, and the attempt to reconcile that love with their respective monastic duty to remain chaste.This is a collaborative reading.Advertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy

Like many of Square's RPGs of the late 90's and early 2000's, Vagrant Story is an ambitious, flawed, divisive and fantastic RPG, full of big ideas that didn't get a chance to full develop into what was planned. What we got was only one part of a larger saga (see also: Xenogears from just a few years prior), a game that stands on its own, proudly displaying all of the rough edges and brilliant ideas for all to see.

My guest this week runs the Kingpilled podcast as well as the Astrolabe. His political analysis has been pretty accurate over the last year as he's explained the PayPal mafia and how he predicted the pick of JD Vance for the VP slot. We discuss the ridiculous and fake nature of the Kamala Harris propaganda, the coming Trump victory, the positives and negatives of that, as well as what this circulation of the elites that is underway means, and who is running the show.

Wine: Durvillea 2023 Sauvignon Blanc $18  Why I chose it:- Terrific wine, especially considering the difficult vintage (cyclone Gabriella) - Entry level wine for Astrolabe. Entry level price but not entry level quality. - You might remember the MV Rena grounded on the Astrolabe reef in 2021. By chance there were a couple of containers of Astrolabe wine on board. The wine and MV Rena were lost.  What does it taste like?- One of the best examples of a Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc from the 2023 vintage. Good intensity with restrained power and the perfect amount of punch without going overboard. Tantalising wine.                                                      Why it's a bargain:- Well below average price for SB but well above average quality  Where can you buy it?- Vino Fino and Wine Freedom in Christchurch both have it for $14.99  Food match?- A versatile food match. I like it with Feta cheese. Most seafoods are a happy match.  Will it keep?- Good for two years, perhaps more.    LISTEN ABOVE See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Despite his dedication to science and mathematics—or perhaps because of it—Pope Sylvester II has been historically linked with legends of magic and sorcery, though these stories are more myth than fact. His reputation for being involved in magic largely stems from his profound knowledge and his use of what was then cutting-edge technology. This episode brings you the story of the life and legacy of Gerbert of Aurillac also known as Pope Sylvester II.   Researched, written, and produced by Corinne Wieben with original music by Purple Planet.  Episode sources  Support the Show.EnchantedPodcast.netFacebook/enchantedpodcastInstagram/enchantedpodcastTumblr/enchantedpodcast

In this episode, we spoke with Gary Christen, a 2/4 Sacral Generator and well-known practitioner of Uranian Astrology (and its developing expression as Symmetrical Astrology). An astrologer since his teens, he is the first person in modern times awarded an accredited B.A. degree in astrology from Livingston College at Rutgers University in 1974. A professional astrologer since 1969, Gary co-founded and is the current president of Astrolabe, Inc., assisting in the development of many Astrolabe products and is an encyclopedia of astrological knowledge. In this episode, Gary takes us through a wild ride and history lesson in the field of astrology including the beginning of his astrological journey in the 60s and the many individuals who contributed to the process. He shares some background on the Uranian system of astrology and the early days of astrological computing. He emphasizes how astrology is always the product of the culture in which it was developed and how mutation often comes through a single individual. He touches on some of the challenges we're faced with today in terms of astrological education and gives us a sense of hope for astrology and humanity in the future.

Hallie Ayres talks to Miriam Hillawi Abraham and Nasra Abdullahi about their text, “The Afro-Cosmologist's Treatise on the Astrolabe,” published in the Cosmic Bulletin 2021.  Miriam Hillawi Abraham is a multi-disciplinary designer from Addis Ababa, Ethiopia. With a background in Architecture, she works with digital media and spatial design to interrogate themes of equitable futurism and intersectionality. She holds an MFA in Interaction Design from the California College of the Arts and a BArch in Architecture from the Glasgow School of Art. She is a CCA-Mellon researcher for the Digital Now multidisciplinary project, a 2020 fellow of Gray Area's Zachary Watson Education Fund and a Graham Foundation 2020 grantee. Nasra Abdullahi is a designer, writer, and editor based in London. She is currently a junior writer at Wallpaper* magazine, the 2021 guest editor of The Avery Review and a member of the second cohort of New Architecture Writers. A student at the Bartlett School of Architecture, she is interested in ways we can seek equitable futures through material cultures away from projected architectural and urban desires. Seeking a multiplicity in spatial practice, she is interested in what modern architectural technology can look like when innovated and reappropriated through and in relation with various knowledge systems. Currently her work is centered around exploring the possibilities of using analytical tools from black and indigenous radical traditions to inform us about design and technological practice.

We're going to the stars! In this episode, Doc tells Nina about the new astronomical discovery and what that has to do with Tolkien plus some other medieval astronomy instruments. Finally, Doc implies that Nina has the “ill-Inanna.”  Topics covered: sky protractors, using video game consoles to remember names, complicated steampunk sundials, Mayan city planning, American presidential rituals, and the longest star naming discussion ever.

As Lehi's family plunged into a more severe wilderness, they required an instrument to help them safely make it to Bountiful. Have scholars discovered what that might be? Could it have been an astrolabe?

In this episode we venture on a journey of scientific discovery and meet one of the most important figures in English medieval science. Geoffrey Chaucer has gone down in history as the ‘father of English literature' and his Canterbury Tales are celebrated across the globe as the earliest work of fiction in that language. Less well known, but equally important, is his Treatise on the Astrolabe, the first technical manual written in English, in which he describes how to make and use these extraordinary instruments. Astrolabes were calculating devices, the smartphones of their day, which enabled scholars to make accurate observations of the stars and planets, and to calculate a huge range.  In this period, scholars were almost always monks, their interest in astronomy and use of astrolabes were partially motivated by the need for accurate timekeeping and working out church dates like Easter. Seb Falk, our guide this week, reveals the wonders of scientific discovery in late medival England in his absorbing book, The Light Ages, A Medieval Journey of Discovery. In this episode he takes us back to the early fourteenth century to a seminal year in the life of Richard of Wallingford, one of the best-known scholars of his day: a gifted astronomer, inventor, Abbot and ultimately, victim of leprosy. Show Notes Scene One: Summer 1327, Oxford University.  Richard of Wallingford is just finishing up his time at Oxford and composing two of his most important scientific works. Scene Two: Autumn 1327, St Albans to Avignon, via London. Richard has been elected abbot and is making his way to have his appointment confirmed by the pope in Avignon.  Scene Three: Winter 1327/Spring 1328, St Albans. Richard returns to St Albans and begins work on his marvellous astronomical clock.  Memento: The abbot's Albion instrument, which he invented but which is long since lost. We know exactly how it worked because the instructions for it are one of those important works he wrote in 1326-7 at Oxford.

In the early days of sailing and navigation, sailors had to stay close to the coast. They looked to the shore for landmarks to guide them. Hills, cliffs, churches, and windmills could all give a navigator key clues to his location. As local knowledge grew, and more people navigated coastal waters, books showcasing the horizon and specific landmarks regarding your route became available for purchase. A sailor knew as long as he could see land, he wasn't truly lost. By keeping an eye on the coast, you had that rough idea of your location.   SHOW NOTES: :58 Sir Cloudsley 1:40 Why Sailors Look Up 2:15 Red Sky at Night 4:05 Mackerel Sky & Mare's Tails 6:06 Dead Reckoning 9:00 Celestial Navigation 9:10 Astrolabe 9:35 Cross Staff 10:00 Back Staff 10:20 Quadrants 10:30 Octant 10:55 Sextant 11:20 Determining Longitude 11:40 Chronometer Connect with Sydney Zaruba: Nautical Nonsense on Instagram Sydney on Instagram Nautical Nonsense & Sydney on Patreon Nautical Nonsense Website Nautical Nonsense Merchandise Mackerel & Mackerel Sky Mare's Tail

Hello everyone today is May 12th 20-21 and welcome to another edition of the Well-Read Investor, the podcast that profits your mind and your money. I'm your host Mike Hanson. Today we're talking history—a period of history most, even universities, gloss over: The period in the West commencing after the fall of the Roman Empire and leading up, more or less, to the Renaissance: The Dark Ages. Or should I say Light Ages? We've got historian Seb Falk to tell us why the Dark Ages is a misnomer, and in fact some great innovation and technology occurred in this era, not to mention advancements in science. Seb's book, The Light Ages, is a wide-ranging history of medieval science, told through the life of one extraordinary monk, John of Westwyk. The book follows the twists and turns of John's life as a yeoman and novice, scholar and exile, crusader and astronomer—it's an engaging story and I picked up much the process. You might even think of Westwyk's spirit as similar to the aspiring stock analyst, questing for the secrets of market behavior. Seb teaches medieval history and the history of science at Cambridge University, and specializes in astronomy, navigation and mathematics from their ancient origins to modern developments. And it's this technological part of things I found most interesting—Seb calls the Astrolabe the “smartphone” of its era, as it allowed practitioners to know the date and time from anywhere, was aesthetically designed and served as a symbol of status (so much like today's iphones). And it's got a literary history—Geoffrey Chaucer, of Canterbury Tales fame, himself wrote a treatise on how to use one. Seb's book prompted me to buy an astrolabe (in fact you can get a good one for less than 50 dollars on Amazon), and I'm in the midst of learning to use it. But so much more than that—advances in astronomy, mathematics, and much else happened in the “Light” Ages, and serves as a reminder that today's technology will one day, too, be outmoded and apparently barbaric. Investors should take note, developments in how we measure the world will change how we see it, and with so much data today you can see the parallels between how our beliefs are shaped by what we can measure. Enjoy this one—Seb is a gifted speaker, writer, and storyteller, and we had a lot of fun talking. And make sure to follow us on social media on Twitter @wellreadpod and Instagram at @wellreadinvestorpod or just google the Well Read Investor to see what I'm reading, reviewing, and talking about week in and out.

Monday, February 15th 2021 is going down in Legacy history. Never before have three cards been banned in Legacy ever since its creation in 2004. Callum, Matt and Julian sit down to not only discus the aftermath of the forced departure of Oko, DHA and Astrolabe, but also the significance of the reasoning provided by Wizards of the Coast. Specifically their commitment to players' desire for a format more diverse and rich in varied gameplay is a strong committment to what WotC prominently acknowledged as the 'spirit of the format.' We're incredibly excited for Legacy's doors finally swinging wide open® again and can't wait to jump into exploring this whole new world!
