De winter staat voor de deur en onze break ook. In deze voorlopig laatste feestelijke aflevering kiezen wij daarom vast de BN'er van het jaar. Niet voor iedereen is het al tijd voor het koudste jaargetijde: sommige BN'ers genieten nog volop van de zon, de zee en een pick-up truck. Suzan en Freek gingen down under en Gordon testte een vlucht uit naar Zuid-Afrika. Opnieuw was hij helaas niet te spreken over het inflight entertainment. Aan entertainment daarentegen geen gebrek op de Nederlandse televisie: Beau toonde zich deze mediaweek een ware koning van het amusement tijdens een interview met de Toppers. En de NPO keek wel heel erg goed naar de BBC. Kinderdromen werden deze mediaweek in de kiem gesmoord. Bridget Maasland laat zien dat je dan ook niet vroeg genoeg kan beginnen aan een carrière als BN'er, zij timmerde al als baby aan de weg en blikt daar op terug in haar memoires.

Remite a la música, a la cultura, a la identidad de los pueblos y se celebra el 22 de agosto en nuestro país y en todo el mundo. El término "folklore" fue acuñado por el escritor e investigador inglés William John Thoms en 1846, en una carta enviada a la revista literaria londinense “Atheneum”. Etimológicamente deriva de "folk" (pueblo, gente, raza) y de "lore" (saber, conocimiento) y se designa con esa palabra el "saber popular", el acervo cultural que se transmite de generación en generación. La consagración oficial se logró en 1878 con la fundación de la Folk-lore Society, la primera Sociedad Folklórica de carácter científico dedicada al estudio de la cultura tradicional. En 1887, la organización definió al folklore como “la ciencia que se ocupa de la supervivencia de las creencias y de las costumbres arcaicas en los tiempos modernos”. En nuestro país, se recuerda además el 22 de agosto, aniversario del nacimiento del etnógrafo entrerriano Juan Bautista Ambrosetti (1865-1917), considerado como el “Padre de la ciencia folclórica”. La fecha coincide, a su vez, con la realización en 1960 del Primer Congreso Internacional de Folclore presidido por el prestigioso folklorólogo salteño Augusto Raúl Cortazar. Dicho encuentro, celebrado en Buenos Aires, reunió a expertos y representantes de 30 países, quienes instauraron la fecha como Día Nacional del Folclore, consolidando la importancia de esta disciplina. Para recordar esta fecha apelamos a registros sonoros conservados en el Archivo Histórico de Radio Nacional.

Show Notes: Will Bachman talks to Ammad Ahmad, founder and managing director of Atheneum, a top global expert network that works with management consulting firms and provides access to niche industry experts, and offers research as a service (RaaS).  These experts have spent 20-25 years in a particular function or industry and can provide tacit knowledge and insights from industries. They help clients understand challenges when implementing AI-related solutions in healthcare, due diligence cases, or when a PE firm is looking to make an investment.   Atheneum has about 11 offices across the world, ranging from San Francisco to Tokyo, with roughly 500-600 SDEs around the world, and they offer one-to-one expert calls, surveys, quantitative surveys, and reports. The majority of their business comes from the expert session side, where many clients want to meet the experts in person.   Ammad started the firm in 2010 after working as a management consultant in Washington, DC. As a management consultant, a large part of his work was research and sourcing expert networks, and vetting the experts. When he moved to Germany, he contacted former colleagues from the consulting arena and suggested setting up a firm to help consulting firms access the industry experts they needed with the primary research required for each project.  Founding and Scaling Atheneum Ammad and his co-founder Mathias set up in an incubator where they had access to laptops and interns and were able to get down to business. By week two they had secured projects from their old consulting firms. Every week they were getting requests for experts in Europe or the emerging markets. As time went on, word of mouth spread and they earned more and more clients. Today, Atheneum works with all of the top 10 management consulting firms, many private equity and corporates, and pharmaceutical companies.   Atheneum's core focus areas include healthcare, with offices in New York, San Francisco, Santiago, Berlin, London, Lahore, Pakistan, Shanghai, Tokyo, and Korea. When they were setting up their firm, they found that there was a lack of insight and intelligence into many of those ex-U.S. markets. They recruit experts in the local language. They custom recruit on many projects. This allows them to better screen for quality and match experts for clients, and the expert database themselves are fresh and engaged, and meet requests in new markets. When COVID hit they were inundated with requests for experts which enabled them to differentiate and scale.    Managing Client Relations Ammad discusses the importance of staying ahead of client needs and staying informed about their needs. He suggests that independent consultants should stay in front of clients and work hard to understand their needs and provide them with good solutions. He shares his thoughts on staying agile in solutions and products and on top of clients' needs. He believes that staying ahead of client needs and keeping them informed of possible problems and solutions they may face is crucial for a successful go-to-market plan. This can be achieved through thought leadership pieces, informal meetings, or casual notes about industry trends. This helps the firm be perceived as knowledgeable, has the network and relationships that can offer support, and willing to go the extra mile.   Using AI in Sourcing Experts Ammad believes it's too early to tell how AI can help companies and expert networks, but he does mention that Ai can help provide better quality matches to clients, to ensure the expert is who they say they are, and perform better screening. AI can also be used internally to find the best experts in their network by using semantic search and searching through a broad array of research resources on a larger scale that allows the firm to build a larger network. Ammad's firm provides interview training to many clients, guiding them on how to conduct expert interviews, what to look for, and how to gather and triangulate data. He emphasizes the importance of researching the individual and providing guidance on the types of queries that may come up during a conversation. He discusses the increasing trend in questions and trends in different industries, such as AI in healthcare, ESG, and broad use cases of AI in industries such as automotive. He mentions that, over the last decade, corporates have started utilizing external resources for short-term project needs. This shift is driven by the need to innovate across various industries and seek external insight and information.   Managerial and Leadership Skills  When it comes to managerial and leadership skills, Ammad emphasizes the importance of understanding people's motivations and incentivizing them correctly. He believes that providing context and transparency around decision-making is crucial for helping moving people together within the firm. In his morning routine, Ammad wakes up early and takes advantage of the quiet and head space to organize his thoughts and think about what he has to do. He spends time observing the world outside his window, which provides context and puts things into perspective. It's a time to reflect on what he is doing and how to move forward. He also disconnects from Outlook, which allows him to focus on tasks and research. This practice helps him stay focused and avoid distractions.   Timestamps: 01:52 Expert network and consulting firm Athenian Partners 03:11 Growing a consulting firm, go-to-market strategies, and client retention 11:18 AI's impact on expert networks and internal use of AI for better matches 15:14 Expert networks, interviewing, and industry trends 21:02 Leadership, productivity, and decision-making with Athenian CEO Links: Website: www.atheneum.ai   Unleashed is produced by Umbrex, which has a mission of connecting independent management consultants with one another, creating opportunities for members to meet, build relationships, and share lessons learned.

On this episode Michelle San Miguel takes a deep dive into the importance of understanding media and staying informed. Then, we head out to Warwick where Pamela Watts introduces us to professional Spanish dancers who are taking all the right steps and making all the right moves on and off the dance floor. Finally, we take another look at the Providence Atheneum which has many iconic stories to tell.

In this Bonus Episode, Jim and Janet take closer look on the themes that run through the story of the Bonds and the Mitchells and dive a little deeper into topics that were just touched upon in the regular season, such as the history of solar noon and why longitude was such a tough nut to crack.Credits:This has been a production of the Nantucket Atheneum. Written, edited and narrated by Janet Forest Special thanks to the Atheneum's Reference Library Associate Jim BorzilleriMore about EraosthenesTwo centuries after Aristotle, an Egyptian mathematician and astronomer, named Eraosthenes, (Aira-Tass-Ta-Knees), became head of the Library of Alexandra. This was a winning combination of skills: besides having access to the scientific works in the library, his training enabled him to identify key information as new material arrived. One day he received a letter from a colleague in Syene, a city directly to the south, and whose distance from Alexandria had been measured. The letter said that on a certain day of the year, at solar noon the sun not only on the east-west meridian, but also north-south meridian. It was directly overhead, and the shadows had no angle. (Mathematically the angle of the shadows was 0 degrees) On the same date the following year, at solar noon, Eraosthenes measured the angle of the shadows cast at Alexandra and, using trigonometry and the information from the letter, calculated the earth's circumstance. Even though some of his information was inaccurate, the calculation was only off by 15 per cent.With the size of the earth established, if you measured the angle of the sun at your location at solar noon, and you also knew the latitude where the sun was on the north-south meridian that day, you could determine your latitude even at sea. Experienced sailors had long done this to estimate their position on familiar routes, but now it could be precisely calculated in unfamiliar waters. Eraosthenes is also credited with inventing a coordinate system – forerunner of the today's latitude and longitude – to create a map of the known world, again using the Library's resources, that was said to show the location of over 400 cities. Over the centuries his techniques and coordinate systems were refined by many others, slowly increasing their precision. Latitude coordinates were eventually fixed, with the equator set to zero degrees, reaching to ninety degrees at the North and South poles. Mathematicians and astronomers computed table of the sun's latitude for every day of the year. Similar tables were computed for other celestial bodies. After completing the necessary angular observations, mariners used these tables to determine their latitude (knowledge of geometry and trig was also very helpful).

In the 19th century moving images were everywhere. Illusionists cast tricks using mirrors and shadows, whilst flick books, magic lanterns and Zoopraxiscopes unveiled the hidden mysteries of motion to a wide-eyed audience. By the later part of the century, new advancements in photography had made the dream of motion pictures reachable for a few genius inventors, who toiled away in dingy workshops, setting fire to volatile chemicals as they cranked the handles of their machines, hoping to capture moments in time. Most now attribute the birth of cinema to either Thomas Edison, the famous American inventor, or the French Lumiere Brothers, whose projection of a train pulling into a station terrified its excited audience. But there was another man who had been working on the problem of moving photographs and had seemingly cracked it several years earlier. On the dawn of his machine's great unveiling, however, he disappeared, leaving those behind to question, where in the world was Louis Le Prince? Sources Leeds Mercury (1930) Inventor Who Vanished.

Now with the help of President Edward Everett of Harvard College and Alexander Dallas Bache of the US Coast Survey, the whole world is about to learn Maria's name. In this episode, Jascin and Jim discuss what doors the comet discovery opens for Maria and the people she would meet along the way. Credits:This has been a production of the Nantucket Atheneum. Written, edited and narrated by Janet Forest Special thanks to the Atheneum's Reference Library Associate Jim Borzilleri and Historian and Deputy Director of the Maria Mitchell Association Jascin Leonardo Finger for their research and insights.Resources and additional information:• Maria Mitchell traveled to Europe twice. First in 1857 and again in 1873. She remained in contact through letters with the people she met even if she never saw them in person again.• When the Nautical Almanac was proposed, Alexander Dallas Bache, Charles Henry Davis, and their colleagues wanted to use an American Prime Meridian in the calculations, but once again ran into resistance against a “National Observatory”.  The issue was escalated to Congress, and the House Committee on Naval Affairs, and the “compromise” was that Washington D.C. would be used as the Prime Meridian for astronomy and geography, while Greenwich (The Royal Observatory) was used as the Prime Meridian for navigation. • To learn more about the Marvelous Miss Harriet Martineau (the original influencer!), check out Season 2, Episode 6. • Find more about Harriet Hosmer and her work here:https://nmwa.org/art/artists/harriet-goodhue-hosmer/https://americanart.si.edu/artist/harriet-hosmer-2314 The Nantucket Atheneum is located at 1 India Street in Nantucket, MA.You can visit us online at www.nantucketatheneum.org

The Mitchells and the Bonds are following a parallel track of discovery and success, but in the late 1850s, their fortunes diverge. As the Mitchells experience success and longevity, the Bonds face one upset after another. The term “Black Swan” refers to an event which was unexpected, previously unimaginable, and had lasting consequences. The Bonds would face three black swans inside a decade on top of a series of tragedies that were just a matter of life in the 1800s. The greatness of the challenge is matched and surpassed by their resilience and focus. This is a dark episode but stick around until the end to find out how it all turns out.  Credits:This has been a production of the Nantucket Atheneum. Written, edited and narrated by Janet Forest Special thanks to the Atheneum's Reference Library Associate Jim Borzilleri for his research and insights.Resources and additional information:•Two letters from George Bond to Richard and Sarah indicating Sarah's mechanical and mathematical abilities.George to Richard – October 14, 1864George to Sarah (Sally) – October 30, 1864 • The unabridged letter Sarah Bond sent to the Third Women's Conference in 1875, which was presided over by Maria Mitchell."Potential Employments Open to Women" by S.

If you do a Google image search for Maria Mitchell, one of the top results will be a portrait of her elegantly dressed, seated, and looking though a telescope. This image romanticizes and perpetuates the story of Maria as a lone astronomer on a distant island discovering a comet and being the first woman awarded the gold medal from the King of Denmark. But like most success stories, it's not nearly that simple.Credits:This has been a production of the Nantucket Atheneum. Written, edited and narrated by Janet Forest Special thanks to the Atheneum's Reference Library Associate Jim Borzilleri and Historian and Deputy Director of the Maria Mitchell Association Jascin Leonardo Finger for their research and insights.Voice of Alexander Dallas Bache performed by Andrew Cromartie.Resources and additional information:•Click HERE for an image of the Bonds' American Method Device. Source: Collection of Historical Scientific Instruments, Department of the History of Science, Harvard University• More on the fraying of the relationship between the Bonds and the US Coast Survey (USCS)The 1851 Exhibition marked a turning point in Bache's relationship with the Bonds. Bache had previously considered the Bonds as overly compliant towards Airy and the Liverpool Observatory during their longitude work for the USCS, and now he quietly began looking for an alternative to the Harvard College Observatory (HCO).  The situation worsened when George Bond got into a scientific fight with several of Bache's allies around 1854; a few had Harvard and USCS/Nautical Almanac connections, and almost all were part of the "Lazzaroni" group headed by Prof. Agassiz at Harvard.  When the Lazzaroni pushed the creation of the National Academy of Sciences in early 1863, George Bond was conspicuously excluded.That said, most of Bache's attempts to cut out the Bonds ended in failure. HCO and Bond & Sons kept innovating and improving their products, and the HCO continued to be a significant "default" latitude point for North America.   It was only ten years later, with the start of the Civil War, that Bache finally succeeded. Matthew Maury, the head of the US Naval Observatory joined the Confederacy, and a Bache ally took over the USNO. The Nautical Almanac moved to Washington, and coastal survey work ended, leaving the HCO isolated and underfunded. Most of the HCO's assistants enlisted for the Union, and George Bond, now widowed and working almost alone, gave up coffee and newspapers to help cut costs. The HCO was still doing important work and was critical to the success of Bond & Sons, but the center of gravity had shifted to the latter, now run by Richard Bond and John Clinch. The Nantucket Atheneum is located at 1 India Street in Nantucket, MA.You can visit us online at www.nantucketatheneum.org 

William Mitchell and William Bond were both part of a network of scientific minds, where they shared discoveries and innovation. For both men, this was a family endeavor. Both were teaching and training their children and bringing them into their astronomical and mechanical pursuits. In this episode, we hear about their remarkable children coming into their own on the world stage. Credits:This has been a production of the Nantucket Atheneum. Written, edited and narrated by Janet Forest Special thanks to the Atheneum's Reference Library Associate Jim Borzilleri and Historian and Deputy Director of the Maria Mitchell Association Jascin Leonardo Finger for their research and insights.Resources and additional information:• The US Coast Survey was first established in 1807 at direction of President Thomas Jefferson, but it would find its stride under the leadership of Superintendent Alexander Dallas Bache. https://nauticalcharts.noaa.gov/about/history-of-coast-survey.html The Nantucket Atheneum is located at 1 India Street in Nantucket, MA.You can visit us online at www.nantucketatheneum.org

In this season of the podcast, we are going to take a closer look at two families, the Bonds and the Mitchells, and the immeasurable impact they had on our world today. We'll dive into their personal struggles, the politics and controversies that hindered and helped their work, and we'll even do a bit of 19th century name dropping. But before we get into the juicy details, we need to rewind the clock back to the early 1800s when time was relative and relatively irrelevant.We're going to get a bit technical in this episode, but bear with us. It's important to understand the technology that was available at the time, so you can appreciate the colossal advancements the Bonds and the Mitchells made. Credits:This has been a production of the Nantucket Atheneum. Written, edited and narrated by Janet Forest Special thanks to the Atheneum's Reference Library Associate Jim Borzilleri and Historian and Deputy Director of the Maria Mitchell Association Jascin Leonardo Finger for their research and insights.Resources and additional information:• Jim refers to 360 degree of longitude. While this is mathematically true, most folks think of Longitude as split 180 degrees East/West at Greenwich.  Before Greenwich was officially recognized as 0 degrees Long, the split could be at any arbitrary point.• John Harrison developed and perfected the chronometer, but it took a long time for him to receive recognition.
