St. Bernard of Claivaux (1090 - 1153 AD) was the founder of the Cistercians, a reform order of the Benedictines, and was one of the Church's true mystics. He opposed the “intentionalism” of the heretic Peter Abelard with his quip: “The road to hell is paved with good intentions.” He also opposed an anti-pope, corrected a king, brokered peace in Europe, and had to nuance the doctrine of “just war” in the face of Christian losses in the Crusades.

Watch the Q&A session here: https://youtu.be/Y9JR7El863kOur alert systems for identifying safety and security threats have evolved over time. As the threat from wild animals diminished, the perceived threat from other humans increased. To defend our territories and our livelihoods, we began to gather intelligence on our enemies, in the hope that being forewarned would give us an advantage. This lecture explores our use of technologies that have allowed us to keep a closer watch, and the ingenious methods that have been used to counter them.

In this episode, Dani and Giacomo sit down to unpack the striking similarities among some of the most well-known vegan doctors out there—think Greger, Esselstyn, Barnard, McDougall, and the like. While their personalities and branding might differ, there's a surprising amount of overlap in their core messages. We're talking about what they all agree on, where they diverge, and how this impacts everyday vegans trying to figure out what the hell to eat.

Watch the Q&A session here: https://youtu.be/G_SpC_BV4jAIn the late nineteenth century, Joseph Chamberlain transformed Birmingham with municipal enterprise and urban improvement, but in the last few years, local authorities have been facing serious financial difficulties, and some of the largest, such as Birmingham, have faced the equivalent of bankruptcy. This lecture will ask why British cities have lost the confident civic pride of the Victorian era and are now struggling to provide basic services from a limited financial base. Most importantly: What can be done to regenerate British towns and cities?

Environmental justice work speaks to the visceral nature of systemic oppression, lived through the bodies of Indigenous and local communities at the frontlines of climate crises and ecological degeneration. To defend the land, water and other natural resources is not a question of choice but survival for many communities protecting their territories from extractive industries. How do we then, as allies and advocates, choose to take the risk of offering our voices and organising with environmental defenders, in the movement to collective freedom and justice? This month, we bring onto the show Abby Reyes, an author and recognized leader in driving community climate solutions. Her first book, Truth Demands: A Memoir of Murder, Oil Wars, and the Rise of Climate Justice releases today, May 6, 2025, from North Atlantic Books. Truth Demands is a salve for anyone navigating the open waters of grief and essential reading for the emerging climate activist and those becoming more ecologically aware. The book chronicles Abby's own healing journey and pursuit of justice after the loss of her partner and two other land rights advocates when they were murdered near Indigenous U'wa territory in Colombia in 1999. Born and raised in Virginia, Abby began her climate work conducting rural environmental legal assistance in the Philippines, her father's homeland, and later walked alongside the Colombian U'wa Indigenous pueblo in their fight against big oil – an experience at the center of Truth Demands. Today, she is the Director of Community Resilience Projects at University of California, Irvine, where she supports leaders from climate-vulnerable communities and their academic partners to accelerate community-owned just transition solutions. A graduate of Stanford University and UC Berkeley Law, she clerked on the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals, co-chaired the board of EarthRights International, and is an advisor to the National Association of Climate Resilience Planners. Abby has been recognized as a “Model of Resistance” by Barnard's Scholar and the Feminist Conference, has a TEDx talk on How to Come Home and has discussed her work with the Law & Political Economy Project. She lives with her family in the San Francisco Bay Area. This conversation centres the themes of Truth Demands addressing embodiment as resistance, chronic fatigue and exhaustion in environmental justice work, and body reorganisation through rest.

Watch the Q&A session here: https://youtu.be/qz9a4zXIFz0The ancient Druids have long represented some of the most striking and controversial figures in ancient and medieval literature. In this lecture, we will look at the many different ways in which the modern imagination has been inspired by them, both as heroic ancestors and as demonic villains against whom civilisation can be defined. It traces the appearance of different kinds of Druidry as a part of Paganism, and suggests what the particular contribution of that Druidry to modern culture may be.This lecture was recorded by Ronald Hutton on 2nd April 2025 at Barnard's Inn Hall, London.Ronald is the Gresham Professor of Divinity.He is also Professor of History at the University of Bristol and a Fellow of the British Academy, the Royal Historical Society, the Society of Antiquaries and the Learned Society of Wales.The transcript of the lecture is available from the Gresham College website: https://www.gresham.ac.uk/watch-now/modern-druidsGresham College has offered free public lectures for over 400 years, thanks to the generosity of our supporters.

Why is it so difficult to study the evolution of early galaxies? Are metallic D&D dice better than plastic ones? And can you have too many Pokémon tattoos? To find out, Dr. Charles Liu and co-host Allen Liu welcome Justin Cole, who is currently a grad student at Texas A&M studying the evolution of distant galaxies in pursuit of his PhD in Astronomy and Astrophysics. As always, though, we start off with the day's joyfully cool cosmic thing – the recent – and remarkable – discovery of four planets orbiting Barnard's Star, a tiny star not much bigger than Jupiter with the highest measured proper motion of any star in our sky. Chuck and Justin discuss why the discovery of new exoplanets is so challenging, which leads to Justin explaining what he's studying: galaxies in our universe that developed less than 1.5 billion years after the Big Bang – about 2.5 billion years before the birth of our own Milky Way Galaxy. We've got a handle on what's going on with our neighbors like the Andromeda Galaxy, but when it comes to early galaxies, we have a very limited range of wavelengths and scant data to study. This makes it harder to derive understandings of galactic evolution and whether they support or conflict with the standard model of physics. Our first audience question comes from Ricardo, who asks, “What if we discover extraterrestrial plant life and find out it's intelligent? Actually, what if we discover plants on Earth are intelligent? Would it be unethical to eat them?” After Chuck shares a little about Marvel's intelligent, telepathic species of plants called the Cotati, and imitates Audrey 2 from Little Shop of Horrors, Justin weighs in on the ethics of eating intelligent plants and asks a critical question: Would we understand them enough to know? What would happen if we bit into a head of alien lettuce and it started screaming? The ensuing discussion is… tasty, albeit a little unsettling. Our next question is from Thomasina, who asks, “I read that the Big Bang theory is in trouble – what does that mean? And did the Big Bang never happen?” Justin, who is an early universe guy, clarifies what's going on here. We occasionally find galaxies that seem to be too big for the amount of time that they've had to grow. We're also finding black holes that with our current instruments, also appear to be too big. In each case, we're finding better ways to simulate these situations, and it's not that they're too big, or that the Big Bang isn't supportable, it's that we're using tools that are calibrated to “nearby and today” that aren't as good at helping us assess early galaxies. Next up, Justin, who is getting ready to run a Dungeons & Dragons 5th Edition roleplaying session after the podcast recording, talks about using D&D Beyond to create his own campaigns (set in the World of Warcraft universe!). Chuck and Justin discuss the benefits of rolling metal dice, and Justin shows off a couple of his beautiful D20. Not to be outdone, Allen shares his 120-sided die, the largest die allowed by three dimensional Euclidean geometry in conventional space. Meanwhile, Chuck tells us the sad story of his old, worn plastic dice. As Allen points out, Chuck was in the hobby before it was cool! And as we run out of time, Justin shares his intention to get one Pokémon tattoo for every state he and his wife visit. If you'd like to know more about what Justin's up to, he suggests you Google “Justin Cole Astronomy” or “Justin Cole A&M.” We hope you enjoy this episode of The LIUniverse, and, if you do, please support us on Patreon.

Die hoofbestuurder van B2Gold, Eric Barnard, sê die maatskappy het verlede jaar 8,89 miljard Namibiese dollar verdien van 198 000 onse goud. Tot op hede is 138 mense afgedank en teen die einde van die jaar sal slegs 400 uit 700 personeel op die Otjikoto-myn in diens wees. Ten spyte van die myn se sluiting wat al jare lank 'n deurlopende proses is, is die maatskappy ook besig met die Antelope-ondergrondse myn. Barnard het die potensiaal van die projek verduidelik.
Watch the Q&A session here: https://youtu.be/cjJSWgvHZKwThis lecture puts forth the ethical and economic case for a basic income, enabling financial security and therefore a better quality of life for all. Financial insecurity affects one's ability to make rational decisions – studies show it even lowers short-term IQ – making it even harder to improve one's circumstances in the long run. Furthermore, unlike means-tested social assistance schemes like Universal Credit, a basic income does not involve a severe ‘poverty trap' and thus, contrary to critics, increases the incentive to take low-paying jobs. This lecture includes findings from a series of BI pilots across the world which Dr Standing has been involved in.This lecture was recorded by Guy Standing on 19th March 2025 at Barnard's Inn Hall, London.Guy Standing is a Professorial Research Associate and former Professor of Development Studies at SOAS University of London. From August 2006 until January 2013, he was Professor of Economic Security at the University of Bath in the UK. Between April 2006 and February 2009, he was also Professor of Labour Economics at Monash University, Melbourne, Australia. He has written and edited books on labour economics, labour market policy, unemployment, labour market flexibility, structural adjustment policies, social protection policy, rentier capitalism and its predations, and the need to revive the commons. His most recent books are The Politics of Time: Gaining Control in the Age of Uncertainty (2023), The Blue Commons: Rescuing the Economy of the Sea (2022), Battling Eight Giants: Basic Income Now (2020) and Plunder of the Commons: A Manifesto for Sharing Public Wealth (2019).The transcript of the lecture is available from the Gresham College website: https://www.gresham.ac.uk/watch-now/case-basic-incomeGresham College has offered free public lectures for over 400 years, thanks to the generosity of our supporters.

Despite its quiet appearance, the brain is the seat of complicated wave dynamics. Indeed, cognitive processes are carried out through communications between neurons, leading to synchronisation and oscillations at different frequencies that can be recorded. Together, these oscillations also create waves that propagate through different regions. Apart from this electrical activity, the brain is also the siege of slow chemical waves that can cause migraine and mechanical waves arising from trauma. In this lecture, we will study the influence of all these waves on brain function.This lecture was recorded by Alain Goriely on 18th March 2025 at Barnard's Inn Hall, London.Alain is Gresham Professor of Geometry.He is currently the Director of the Oxford Centre for Industrial and Applied Mathematics and was elected as a Fellow of the Royal Society in 2022.The transcript of the lecture is available from the Gresham College website: https://www.gresham.ac.uk/watch-now/turbulent-brain-rhythms-and-wavesGresham College has offered free public lectures for over 400 years, thanks to the generosity of our supporters.

Why Smart People Make Dumb Decisions (And How to Stop) | Dr. Alan Barnard (Part 1) .
In this episode of Entrepreneur Weekly, Alan Taylor engages in a thought-provoking dialogue with longtime friend, Scott Duffy, exploring the rapidly evolving domain of artificial intelligence (AI) at the AI Mavericks event in Los Angeles. Initially harboring skepticism, Alan's perspective undergoes a transformation upon noting that a mere 6.1% of businesses have integrated AI into their operations, as highlighted by a Goldman Sachs study, underscoring the nascent stage of AI adoption in various sectors. Scott introduces Jason Barnard, who developed a tool to help brands build authority in the AI sector by enhancing their online presence. Jason stresses the importance of a strong digital narrative, noting that he, despite his background, needed to boost his online authority at his company, Kalicube. Barnard focuses on training AI, like Google's algorithms, to represent individuals' credibility and expertise accurately. He encourages people to take control of their online narrative to ensure they are seen as credible experts. By testing AI platforms with inquiries about notable figures, individuals can see how consistent branding fosters trust—like teaching a dog a trick. Up next, we have Joe Stolte, who co-founded Daily AI, a groundbreaking tool that has changed how I create and send weekly emails. Despite being in its early stages, Daily AI has significant potential to transform businesses that may not realize what they're missing. The company focuses on “outcomes over outputs,” emphasizing that AI tools must drive tangible results, particularly for small businesses. By creating effective AI workflows and agents, Daily AI helps engage audiences and streamline the sales process, enabling users to automate tasks and achieve better results faster than traditional methods. Joining us next is, Renee Lossia Acho from the Renee Lossia Acho Real Estate Group, who discusses AI's role in real estate. Traditionally, developing educational courses has been resource-intensive, but AI, especially through digital twins, is changing this. However, some professionals worry about job security due to automation. It's crucial to remember that machines can't replicate the personal interactions essential for building relationships in real estate. Instead, AI should be seen as a complementary tool to enhance productivity and help professionals maximize their time. Brad Moss, founder of Enhanced AI, previously managed Amazon's third-party selling platform. Three and a half years ago, he recognized the potential of artificial intelligence and sought to create a platform for business professionals to build custom agents. With his background in tech and entrepreneurship, Moss is well-equipped to scale Enhanced AI. The platform streamlines the agent-building process, allowing users to create voice-controlled agents easily. He envisions a system where users can articulate their needs to automatically generate customized agents and encourages early engagement to maximize the platform's capabilities.. In a recent segment, Alan spoke with motivational speaker Dan Clark, who has been active since 1982 and started his career with the National Speakers Association under Zig Ziglar. Dan discussed how AI could enhance his focus on personal responsibility and character-based values, acknowledging the need for motivation in today's fast-paced world. He emphasized preserving the creative process while recognizing AI's potential to improve communication, particularly in marketing. Dan highlighted the ability of AI to replicate and amplify the wisdom of speakers like himself, Scott Duffy, and Alan. He concluded by expressing excitement about the upcoming AI Mavericks conference and its innovative potential. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
Join Jason and me for a discussion about building systems that work well for you and your team's culture. Jason Barnard is the founder of Kallicube, an AI branding company. One of my favorite parts of this interview is the system he uses for cross-team collaboration. You can get the Magnetic Systems Method (and other systems guides) to find issues before they become expensive problems. Highlights from the interview: 1. Mastermind system for cross-team collaboration He describes a system of cross-team masterminds where employees from different departments come together to share problems and brainstorm solutions. This helps improve communication, understanding, and problem-solving across the organization. Watch the 5-minute Systems Segment on YouTube 2. Automation and efficiency gains from mastermind insights An example is provided where the marketing team was able to automate processes after getting input from the more tech-savvy production team during a mastermind session. This led to significant time savings for the marketing department. 3. Jason's background and polymorphic career path He shares how his diverse experiences, from economics to music to cartoons, have shaped his ability to think creatively and tackle complex problems, especially in understanding how search engines and AI work. 4. Maintaining regular communication with team leads He has weekly 30-minute calls with each department head to stay connected, understand challenges, and provide guidance, as well as a monthly all-hands meeting where everyone shares wins, struggles, and other updates. 5. Intentional reflection time and setting reasonable daily goals He describes a daily routine of spending 10 minutes in the morning reflecting on the day ahead, assessing what is reasonable and possible to accomplish, rather than creating overly ambitious to-do lists. Learn more about Jason Barnard over at Kallicube. You can also connect with Jason on LinkedIn.

Last week, Columbia capitulated to Trump's extensive demands on the university, in hopes of recovering $400 million in government funding that was revoked by the Trump administration. Almost a week later, there is still no indication that Columbia will get the money back. The university has agreed to a long list of changes, among them the creation of a new 36-officer campus police force with the power to arrest students; the adoption of the IHRA definition of antisemitism, which conflates anti-Zionism and antisemitism; broad commitments to disciplinary action for student protesters; and even the advancement of Columbia's Tel Aviv Center. Strikingly, the university has placed the Middle Eastern, South Asian, and African Studies department into what the Trump administration is referring to as “receivership,” appointing a new senior vice provost to exert control over the teaching of Israel/Palestine in particular, starting with the Center for Palestine Studies. Meanwhile, the university committed to “the expansion of intellectual diversity among faculty,” indicating that they are going to hire more Zionists to teach in the Institute for Israel and Jewish Studies and in the School for International and Public Affairs. All of this follows the targeting and abduction of Columbia students, including Palestinian green card holder and student activist Mahmoud Khalil, who remains in ICE detention, and Ranjani Srinivasan, an Indian student who was not significantly involved in protests and who fled to Canada to avoid detention after her visa was revoked. It's hard to overstate the significance of Columbia's surrender, at a moment when the US appears to be in democratic freefall, and when academic freedom and the fundamental right to free speech hangs in the balance. Editor-at-large Peter Beinart and Columbia professor Nadia Abu El-Haj, who also serves as the co-director of the Center for Palestine Studies, spoke just hours before this shocking development, but their conversation probes what's been happening at Columbia and Barnard, and what's at stake—both for the study of Israel/Palestine and for the future of higher ed. This conversation first appeared in the Beinart Notebook on Substack.Thanks to Jesse Brenneman for producing and to Nathan Salsburg for the use of his song “VIII (All That Were Calculated Have Passed).” ARTICLES MENTIONED AND FURTHER READING: “‘Mahmoud Is Not Safe,'” Nadia Abu El-Haj, New York Review of Books“The Columbia Network Pushing Behind the Scenes to Deport and Arrest Student Protesters,” Natasha Lennard and Akela Lacy, The InterceptLetter from Mahmoud Khalil from ICE detention in Louisiana“The Perils of Universities' Unscholarly Antisemitism Reports,” Peter Beinart, Jewish Currents“

SpaceTime Series 28 Episode 35The Astronomy, Space and Science News PodcastDiscovery of a New Planetary System, Stable Trio of Icy Worlds in the Kuiper Belt, and the Fascinating Concept of White HolesIn this episode of SpaceTime, we delve into the groundbreaking discovery of a nearby planetary system orbiting Barnard's Star, the second closest star system to the Sun. Located just 5.96 light years away, this system comprises four small planets, each 20 to 30% the mass of Earth, revealing new insights into the potential for life beyond our solar system. We discuss the significance of these findings and the advanced techniques used to confirm their existence, including the innovative Maroon X instrument.Exploring the Kuiper BeltWe also explore the remarkable discovery of a stable trio of small frozen worlds in the Kuiper Belt, cataloged as the Algiera system. This intriguing find, made using data from NASA's Hubble Space Telescope and the Keck Observatory, could potentially be only the second three-body system identified in this remote region, challenging existing theories about how such formations occur.Theoretical White HolesAdditionally, we dive into the fascinating hypothesis suggesting that black holes may transition into white holes, ejecting matter and energy back into the universe. This revolutionary idea, rooted in quantum mechanics, opens up new possibilities for understanding the nature of black holes and the fundamental workings of the universe.00:00 Space Time Series 28 Episode 35 for broadcast on 21 March 202500:49 Discovery of a planetary system around Barnard's Star06:30 Significance of the findings and the Maroon X instrument12:15 Overview of the Algiera system in the Kuiper Belt18:00 Implications for our understanding of Kuiper Belt objects22:45 Theoretical concepts of white holes and their significance27:00 Summary of recent astronomical discoveries30:15 Discussion on health risks associated with slushy drinkswww.spacetimewithstuartgary.comwww.bitesz.com

Congress has until Friday to avoid a partial government shutdown, and lawmakers are working tirelessly ahead of the looming House vote. With the vote expected to be tight, Congressman Darrell Issa (R-CA) argues it's crucial to keep the momentum the Trump administration has set in place. Issa joins the Rundown to discuss the Continuing Resolution, DOGE, and preview the Ukraine talks expected Tuesday. Anti-Israel protests persist on college campuses, as Columbia University and its sister school Barnard face a new wave of student activists. The leader of the student demonstration, Mahmoud Khalil, was arrested by the Department of Homeland Security for leading activities aligned to Hamas, which is a designated terrorist organization. FOX News Contributor and Former Chief Assistant US Attorney Andy McCarthy joins the Rundown to discuss the legal aspects of Khalil's arrest, the legal fight that will follow, and what he believes needs to be done to ensure safety on college campuses. Later, retired NYPD Inspector Paul Mauro joins to explain how Columbia University emboldened college students to continue their anti-Israel protests.

Like most universities, Columbia receives a great deal of federal funding. The Federal Task Force to Combat Anti-Semitism, created by the Trump Administration, announced that it will visit 10 university campuses that have seen a shocking rise in antisemitism since October 7, 2023.According to Education Secretary Linda McMahon, “Americans have watched in horror for more than a year now, as Jewish students have been assaulted and harassed on elite university campuses. Unlawful encampments and demonstrations have completely paralyzed day-to-day campus operations, depriving Jewish students of learning opportunities to which they are entitled. Institutions that receive federal funds have a responsibility to protect all students from discrimination. Columbia's apparent failure to uphold their end of this basic agreement raises very serious questions about the institution's fitness to continue doing business with the United States government.”According to Maya Sulkin in the Free Press, “even though Columbia formed a Task Force on Antisemitism weeks after Hamas's invasion of Israel on October 7, 2023, and issued two reports that revealed shocking instances of Jew hate on campus—not just among students but professors and administrators—the college has done little to root out the problem.”As a result, on Friday the Trump Administration announced the cancellation of $400 million in federal grants to and contracts with Columbia. Following these developments, one could be left with the impression that higher education is doomed. Yetwe were struck by the reaction from the Call Me Back community to a conversation we had with the Chancellor of Vanderbilt University, Daniel Diermeier, last November, in an episode titled “How Vanderbilt University is getting it right.” It reminded us that some universities have impressively navigated the past 16 months.Vanderbilt is one of them. Another is Washington University. The Chancellors of both universities (Washington University Chancellor Andrew Martin and Vanderbilt's Diermeier) recently issued a set of principles that every university should be able to adopt. They summarized these principles in a piece in the Chronicle of Higher Education, titled: “Universities Must Reject Creeping Politicization.” You can read it here: There have been other universities, like the University of Michigan, which in the months after October 7, 2023 experienced massive disruptions. Yet according to conversations we have had with current Jewish students, the university administration has been doing much better than others. University of Michigan President Santa Ono has taken promising steps on a number of fronts, including the University's relationship with Israel, that could also serve as a model.So, against the backdrop of chaos at Columbia and Barnard this past week, we sat down with WashU's Andrew Martin and Michigan's Santa Ono at the ADL's “Never is Now” Summit in New York City, for a candid conversation about what has happened at each of their universities, lessons learned, and charting a path forward.
