In real time, , we're seeing Trump's authoritarian forces moving to consolidate power with an "authoritarian playbook" used in the past and other parts of the world. While institutions like the Democratic Party, Harvard and Columbia and the nation's big law firms capitulate, we're seeing resistance from the streets of Washington D.C., Chicago, Portland and Los Angeles. As mass movements are forming to fight back, strategic coordination is needed. In our latest, Scott talks with long time organizer and strategic nonviolence trainer Nadine Bloch to discuss a new education project from the Freedom Trainers teaching an "anti-authoritarian playbook" of non-cooperation, non-compliance and mass disruption. Bio// As an activist artist, puppetista, strategic nonviolent trainer & organizer, Nadine Bloch works at the potent intersection of arts/culture & people power.

In this episode, Dan Hummel sits down with historian Brandon Bloch to explore his new book, Reinventing Protestant Germany. The conversation traces the complex role of Protestant churches in Germany from the Weimar Republic through the Nazi era and into the post-war reconstruction. Block shares insights into how religious nationalism shaped political ideologies, the nuanced responses of church leaders to Nazism, and how post-war Protestantism positioned itself as a moral compass in rebuilding German democracy.

Em 2025, o remake de Vale Tudo reacendeu um debate que vai muito além da ficção. O alcoolismo da personagem Heleninha (Paolla Oliveira). Seus dramas com a bebida e seu relacionamento com a mãe, Odete Roitman (Débora Bloch), marido, tia e filho, vem dividindo opiniões do público. De um lado, quem pede empatia com uma mulher fragilizada, em luta contra uma doença devastadora. Do outro, quem defende a dureza de Odete como exemplo de responsabilidade familiar. E tem ainda os que apoiam ou desaprovam o amparo oferecido pela tia. Essa polarização expõe como ainda enxergamos o alcoolismo: seria falta de força de vontade ou uma doença crônica? Onde ficam os limites da família entre apoiar, cobrar e também se proteger? Segundo a Vigitel, no Brasil, cerca de 10% da população adulta apresenta algum grau de transtorno por uso de álcool. O consumo abusivo atinge quase 1 em cada 5 brasileiros, e o impacto é devastador: 12 pessoas morrem por hora no país em decorrência do álcool, segundo a Fiocruz. Ainda assim, o debate segue marcado por preconceitos e muitas dúvidas. No episódio de hoje, vamos olhar para além da novela. Vamos entender o que é o alcoolismo, como ele se manifesta, o impacto que provoca em quem sofre e em quem convive, e quais são os caminhos possíveis de tratamento e recuperação. Participam com a gente: Dra. Camila Magalhães Silveira – psiquiatra da UNIFESP, especialista em dependência química. Mateus Gomes – Secretário-Geral do Grupos Familiares Al-Anon, associação de parentes e amigos de alcoólicos que compartilham sua experiência, força e esperança. _____ NexGard Spectra® é o único antiparasitário oral que protege contra quatro parasitas em um único tablete mensal.

Im Gespräch mit François Bloch – Einsichten eines Schweizer Finanzexperten

Dr. Eli Levenson-Falk joins Sebastian Hassinger, host of The New Quantum Era to discuss his group's recent advances in quantum measurement and control, focusing on a new protocol that enables measurements more sensitive than the Ramsey limit. Published in Nature Communications in April 2025, this work demonstrates a coherence stabilized technique that not only enhances sensitivity for quantum sensing but also promises improvements in calibration speed and robustness for superconducting quantum devices and other platforms. The conversation travels from Eli's origins in physics, through the conceptual challenges of decoherence, to experimental storytelling, and highlights the collaborative foundation underpinning this breakthrough.Guest BioEli Levenson-Falk is an Associate Professor at USC. He earned his PhD at UC Berkeley with Professor Irfan Siddiqui, and now leads an experimental physics research group working with superconducting devices for quantum information science. Key TopicsThe new protocol described in the paper: “Beating the Ramsey Limit on Sensing with Deterministic Qubit Control." Beyond the Ramsey measurement: How the team's technique stabilizes part of the quantum state for enhanced sensitivity—especially for energy level splittings—using continuous, slowly varying microwave control, applicable beyond just superconducting platforms. From playground swings to qubits: Eli explains how the physics of a playground swing inspired his passion for the field and lead to his understanding of the transmon qubit, and why analogies matter for intuition. Quantum decoherence and stabilization: How the method controls the “vector” of a quantum state on the Bloch sphere, dumping decoherence into directions that can be tracked or stabilized, markedly increasing measurement fidelity. Calibration and practical speedup: The protocol achieves greater measurement accuracy in less time or greater accuracy for a given time investment. This has implications for both calibration routines in quantum computers and for direct quantum measurements of fields (e.g., magnetic) or material properties. Applicability: While demonstrated on superconducting transmons, the protocol's generality means it may bring improved sensitivity to a variety of platforms—though the greatest benefits will be seen where relaxation processes dominate decoherence over dephasing. Collaboration and credit: The protocol was the product of a collaborative effort with theorist Daniel Lidar and his group, also at USC. In Eli's group, Malida Hecht conducted the experiment.Why It MattersBy breaking through the Ramsey sensitivity limit, this work provides a new tool for both quantum device calibration and quantum sensing. It allows for more accurate and faster frequency calibration within quantum processors, as well as finer detection of small environmental changes—a dual-use development crucial for both scalable quantum computing and sensitive quantum detection technologies.Episode Highlights Explanation of the “Ramsey limit” in quantum measurement and why surpassing it is significant. Visualization of quantum states using the Bloch sphere, and the importance of stabilizing the equatorial (phase) components for sensitivity. Experimental journey from “plumber” lab work to analytic insights, showing the back-and-forth of theory confronting experiment. Immediate and future impacts, from more efficient calibration in quantum computers to potentially new standards for quantum sensing. Discussion of related and ongoing work, such as improvements to deterministic benchmarking for gate calibration, and the broader applicability to various quantum platforms.If you enjoy The New Quantum Era, subscribe and tell your quantum-curious friends!

It's show and tell week for the class! Erin shows off her new BLOCH shoes, and Bryan brings in a scent from the 80s that he's been craving (and fought a store employee about). Bryan discusses a 2022 Bloomberg article with data proving that crosswalk and street art installations actually improve safety and reduce accidents for drivers and pedestrians, plus how Kappa Kappa Gamma continues to fight lawsuits against allowing trans sorority sisters. Erin shares a study about how the standard treatments for patients post-heart attack have only been researched on cisgender men, and how medicines like beta blockers for women lead to adverse results.

Germany's Protestant churches, longtime strongholds of nationalism and militarism, largely backed the Nazi dictatorship that took power in 1933. For many Protestant leaders, pastors, and activists, national and religious revival were one and the same. Even those who opposed the regime tended toward antidemocratic attitudes. By the 1950s, however, Church leaders in West Germany had repositioned themselves as prominent advocates for constitutional democracy and human rights. Brandon Bloch reveals how this remarkable ideological shift came to pass, following the cohort of theologians, pastors, and lay intellectuals who spearheaded the postwar transformation of their church. Born around the turn of the twentieth century, these individuals came of age amid the turbulence of the Weimar Republic and were easily swayed to complicity with the Third Reich. They accommodated the state in hopes of protecting the Church's independence from it, but they also embraced the Nazi regime's antisemitic and anticommunist platform. After the war, under the pressures of Allied occupation, these Protestant intellectuals and their heirs creatively reimagined their tradition as a fount of democratic and humanitarian values. But while they campaigned for family law reform, conscientious objection to military service, and the protection of basic rights, they also promoted a narrative of Christian anti-Nazi resistance that whitewashed the Church's complicity in dictatorship and genocide. Examining the sources and limits of democratic transformation, Reinventing Protestant Germany: Religious Nationalists and the Contest for Post-Nazi Democracy (Harvard University Press, 2025) sheds new light on the development of postwar European politics and the power of national myths. Guest: Brandon Bloch (he/him) is a historian of modern Europe, with an emphasis on Germany and its global entanglements. His research and teaching foreground themes of democracy, human rights, memory politics, and social thought. Brandon is an Assistant Professor of History at the University of Wisconsin-Madison. Host: Jenna Pittman (she/her), a Ph.D. student in the Department of History at Duke University. She studies modern European history, political economy, and Germany from 1945-1990.

In Los Angeles County—famous for its sunshine—just 20% of urbanized areas are shaded at noon. That's creating a serious health hazard for people who work outdoors, wait at bus stops or play outside. Environmental journalist Sam Bloch argues that shade should be considered a basic human right, akin to access to clean air and safe drinking water. We speak with Bloch about why modern cities have so little shade and how we can reintroduce it as a fundamental element of urban design. Bloch's new book is “Shade: The Promise of a Forgotten Natural Resource.” Do you struggle to find shade in your community?

Die weltweit ersten Hörspiele sind nicht in der Schweiz entstanden. Sondern in England und Frankreich. SRF hat diese drei Kurzhörspiele rekonstruierend produziert und sie von Urs Helmensdorfer kommentieren und einordnen lassen. «Marémoto» von Cusy Pierre und Germinet Gabriel fesselte 1924 die Hörenden durch einen ganz besonderen radiophonen Kniff: Die Geschichte entwickelt sich anhand von Funksprüchen und liess die Zuhörer so hautnah an einer Schiffskatastrophe teilhaben. «Agonie» von Camille Paul ist das erste monologische Hörspiel und zeigte damit schon in den ersten Tagen des Hörspiels auf, wofür die Gattung eine ganz besondere Eignung hat: Für das Erzählen von zutiefst Innerem. «A Comedy of Danger» von Richard Hughes gilt mit seiner Ursendung im Januar 1924 bei der BBC als erstes Originalhörspiel in Europa. Es läutete eine ganze Reihe von Bergwerks- und Grubenhörspielen ein. Denn das «Im Dunkeln sitzen» passte so ausgezeichnet zum «Nur Hören» der neuen Radiokunst. SRF hat dieses Hörspiel in den 1960er Jahren auf Deutsch produziert – in «Anfänge des Hörspiels» hört man den ersten Teil von «Danger» in der SRF-Version, den zweiten Teil in einer Rekonstruktion durch die BBC. «Anfänge des Hörspiels» war das Eröffnungsstück der Reihe «50 Jahre Hörspiel», die SRF 1974 beging. (Aufgemerkt: das erste Hörspiel wurde 1924 ausgestrahlt; das erst Schweizerdeutsche Hörspiel aber erst 1925). Aber, wie in den Originaldokumenten zum Hörstück nachdrücklich vermerkt ist: «Kann [es] unabhängig von einem Jubiläum gesendet werden!!» ____________________ Mitwirkende: Kommentar von Helmut Winkelmann Dauer: 12' «Marémoto»: Mit : Alphonse Kehrer (Présentateur), Gil Pidoux (1.Stimme, Badin), Daniel Fillion (2.Stimme, François), Claude Mariau (le directeur) sowie Gérald Bloch, Alain Paloux, Michel Grobety und Gilles Thibeault (quatre voix d'hommes) und Christiane Vincent, Claudine Berthet und Danielle Devillers (trois voix des femmes) Dauer: 9' Tontechnik: Marie-Thérèse Firman und Jean-Pierre Tille – Regie: Amido Hoffmann – Produktion: SRF 1974 «Agonie»: Mit: Jean Vigny (Der Sterbende) Dauer: 15' Regie: Amido Hoffmann – Produktion: SRF 1974 «How listening plays are done» von Richard Hughes Dauer: 4' «A Comedy of Danger» Teil 1(deutsch): Mit: Maria Magdalena Thiesing (Mary), Peter Brogle (Jack), Erwin Parker (Bax), Regie: Kurt Bürgin – Produktion: SRF 1962 Teil 2 (englisch): Mit: Carol Marsh (Mary), Christopher Good (Jack), Carleton Hobbs (Bax) Regie: Raymond Raikes – Produktion: BBC: 1973 ____________________ Produktion: Urs Helmensdorfer, SRF 1974 ____________________ Dauer: 59′

Viele Exportgüter in die USA sind Nischenprodukte – wie Schokolade. Wer aufhört zu liefern, ist schnell vom Markt verschwunden. Deswegen fordert der Chocolatier Daniel Bloch, das «Schoggigesetz» zu reaktivieren, das über Jahre die Schweizer Schokolade konkurrenzfähig gehalten hat. Chocolats Camille Bloch war immer erfinderisch in Krisen: Das Ragusa wurde während des 2. Weltkrieges aus Mangel an Kakao mit seiner Haselnussfüllung kreiert. Auch jetzt dürfen die Produktion und der Export für die USA aus der Schweiz nicht pausieren. Denn wer einmal nicht mehr im Markt sei, schaffe den Einstieg kaum mehr. Deswegen fordert Daniel Bloch statt Kurzarbeitsentschädigung die Reaktivierung des sogenannten «Schoggigesetzes». Dieses habe mit der Subventionierung von teureren Schweizer Rohstoffen die Schweizer Schokolade über Jahre konkurrenzfähig gemacht. Nun müsse der Bund die Zolldiskrepanz zur EU übernehmen, so könnten Schweizer Produkte weiterhin produziert und in den USA vermarktet werden. Dies käme den Bund billiger als Kurzarbeitsentschädigungen. Bloch geht nicht davon aus, dass diese Zölle sich lange halten werden. Auch deswegen wäre diese Überbrückung in seinen Augen zielführend. Daniel Bloch ist zu Gast im Tagesgespräch bei Karoline Arn.

On a 90-degree day in Los Angeles, bus riders across the city line up behind the shadows cast by street signs and telephone poles, looking for a little relief from the sun's glaring heat. Every summer such scenes play out in cities across the United States, and as Sam Bloch argues, we ignore the benefits of shade at our own peril. Heatwaves are now the country's deadliest natural disasters with victims concentrated in poorer, less shady areas. Public health, mental health and crime statistics are worse in neighborhoods without it. For some, finding shade is a matter of life and death. Shade was once a staple of human civilization. In Mesopotamia and Northern Africa, cities were built densely so that courtyards and public passageways were in shadow in the heat of the day, with cool breezes flowing freely. The Greeks famously philosophized in shady agoras. Even today, in Spain's sunny Seville, political careers are imperiled when leaders fail to put out the public shades that hang above sidewalks in time for summer heat. So what happened in the United States? Bloch says the arrival of air conditioning and the dominance of cars took away the impetus to enshrine shade into our rapidly growing cities. Though a few heroic planners, engineers, and architects developed shady designs for efficiency and comfort, the removal of shade trees in favor of wider roads and underinvestment in public spaces created a society where citizens retreat to their own cooled spaces, if they can—increasingly taxing the energy grid—or face dangerous heat outdoors. Bloch says that innovative architects, city leaders, and climate entrepreneurs are looking to revive shade to protect vulnerable people—and maybe even save the planet.  Join us as Bloch shares his extraordinary investigation into shade, bringing together science, history, urban design and social justice to change the way we think about a critical natural resource that should be available to all. Sam Bloch is an environmental journalist. Previously a staff writer at The Counter, he has written for L.A.

In this episode of Detection at Scale, Jack speaks with Erik Bloch, VP of Security, Illumio, about why most security operations teams aren't ready for AI tools and what fundamental processes must be in place first. Erik challenges the industry's obsession with new technologies, sharing stories from his experience transforming underperforming security teams at major companies like Cisco, Salesforce, and Atlassian.  His conversation with Jack explores how to measure what actually matters in security operations, from team capacity utilization to business outcome dispositions, and why proper ticketing systems and actionable metrics are prerequisites for any advanced tooling to be effective. Topics discussed: The importance of establishing fundamental processes like ticketing systems and metrics before implementing AI tools in security operations. How to measure team capacity utilization and resource allocation to identify when security operations teams are operating beyond sustainable levels. Why traditional security metrics like mean time to detect are often vanity metrics that don't provide actionable business intelligence. The critical need for security leaders to communicate in business language with concrete data rather than anecdotal risk assessments. How managed service providers will likely be the first to successfully adopt AI tools due to their standardized processes. The challenge of proving AI tool effectiveness when most organizations lack baseline metrics to measure improvement against established benchmarks. Why security teams gravitate toward building custom tools and how this impacts their approach to adopting commercial AI solutions. The role of MCP in enabling security teams to create their own agents and integrate multiple tools. How AI should focus on eliminating routine tasks like phishing email analysis rather than trying to catch advanced persistent threats. The framework for implementing AI tools by starting with business outcomes, defining metrics, identifying capabilities, and then inserting automation.  Listen to more episodes: Apple  Spotify  YouTube Website

En 1935, con solo 18 años, un joven Robert Bloch solicitó el permiso de su mentor y amigo H.P. Lovecraft para matarlo en uno de sus relatos... El 30 de abril de 1935 Lovecraft contestaba a Bloch en su habitual jerga tentacular: A quien pudiera interesar: Certifico que el señor Robert Bloch, de Milwaukee Wisconsin, EEUU, reencarnación de Mijneheer Ludvig Prinn, autor del DE VERMIS MYSTERIIS, queda plenamente autorizado para retratar, matar, aniquilar, desintegrar, transfigurar, metamorfosear o maltratar al abajo firmante, en el cuento titulado El Vampiro Estelar. Firmado, H.P. Lovecraft. El documento estaba testificado por Abdul Alhazred, escritor del infame Necronomicon, por Frierich Von Jung, autor del unaussprechlichen kulten, El Libro de los Cultos sin Nombre, por Gaspard du Nord, traductor del Libro de Eibon y por el lama Ctho Ctho de Leng, con vistosas imitaciones de su letras originales... El relato que están a punto de escuchar, es el resultado de aquel delirio... Uno de los más importantes e influyentes de los Mitos de Cthulhu.
