400 years ago, a brazenly braggadocious begging ‘bedlamite' possibly penned a poem so incantatorily-poignant, so wonder-woundedly-written, so symmetrically and cognitively bruising, that it demands to be memorized and chanted aloud. Let's dive into the song of Tom O'Bedlam. ⇓ ⇓ ⇓Tom O'Bedlam's SongI. From the hag and hungry goblinThat into rags would rend ye,The spirit that stands by the naked manIn the Book of Moons defend ye,That of your five sound sensesYou never be forsaken,Nor wander from your selves with Tom Abroad to beg your bacon,While I do sing, Any food, any feeding,Feeding, drink, or clothing;Come dame or maid, be not afraid,Poor Tom will injure nothing.II.Of thirty bare years have ITwice twenty been enragèd,And of forty been three times fifteenIn durance soundly cagèdOn the lordly lofts of Bedlam,With stubble soft and dainty,Brave bracelets strong, sweet whips ding-dong,With wholesome hunger plenty,And now I sing, Any food, any feeding,Feeding, drink, or clothing;Come dame or maid, be not afraid,Poor Tom will injure nothing.III.With a thought I took for MaudlinAnd a cruse of cockle pottage,With a thing thus tall, sky bless you all,I befell into this dotage.I slept not since the Conquest,Till then I never wakèd,Till the roguish boy of love where I layMe found and stript me nakèd.And now I sing, Any food, any feeding,Feeding, drink, or clothing;Come dame or maid, be not afraid,Poor Tom will injure nothing.IV.When I short have shorn my sow's faceAnd swigged my horny barrel,In an oaken inn I pound my skinAs a suit of gilt apparel;The moon's my constant mistress,And the lowly owl my marrow;The flaming drake and the night crow makeMe music to my sorrow.While I do sing, Any food, any feeding,Feeding, drink, or clothing; Come dame or maid, be not afraid,Poor Tom will injure nothing.V.The palsy plagues my pulsesWhen I prig your pigs or pullen,Your culvers take, or matchless makeYour Chanticleer or Sullen.When I want provant with HumphreyI sup, and when benighted,I repose in Paul's with waking soulsYet never am affrighted.But I do sing, Any food, any feeding,Feeding, drink, or clothing;Come dame or maid, be not afraid,Poor Tom will injure nothing.VI. I know more than Apollo,For oft, when he lies sleepingI see the stars at bloody warsIn the wounded welkin weeping;The moon embrace her shepherd,And the Queen of Love her warrior,While the first doth horn the star of morn,And the next the heavenly Farrier.While I do sing, Any food, any feeding,Feeding, drink, or clothing;Come dame or maid, be not afraid,Poor Tom will injure nothing.VII. The gypsies, Snap and Pedro,Are none of Tom's comradoes,The punk I scorn and the cutpurse sworn,And the roaring boy's bravadoes.The meek, the white, the gentleMe handle, touch, and spare not;But those that cross Tom RynosserosDo what the panther dare not.Although I sing, Any food, any feeding,Feeding, drink, or clothing; Come dame or maid, be not afraid,Poor Tom will injure nothing.VIII.With a host of furious fanciesWhereof I am commander,With a burning spear and a horse of air,To the wilderness I wander.By a knight of ghosts and shadowsI summoned am to tourneyTen leagues beyond the wide world's end:Methinks it is no journey.Yet will I sing, Any food, any feeding,Feeding, drink, or clothing;Come dame or maid, be not afraid,Poor Tom will injure nothing.---------------------------------------Original Harold Bloom interview: https://youtu.be/EVWiwd0P0c0?si=WkhOdDTNrPwp14WS✦

How can schools appropriately respond to students who engage in nonsuicidal self-injury (NSSI), whether the behavior occurs at home, on school grounds, or elsewhere?

Marc Andreessen is a founder, investor, and co-founder of Netscape, as well as co-founder of the venture capital firm Andreessen Horowitz (a16z). In this conversation, we dig into why we're living through a unique and one of the most incredible times in history, and what comes next.We discuss:1. Why AI is arriving at the perfect moment to counter demographic collapse and declining productivity2. How Marc has raised his 10-year-old kid to thrive in an AI-driven world3. What's actually going to happen with AI and jobs (spoiler: he thinks the panic is “totally off base”)4. The “Mexican standoff” that's happening between product managers, designers, and engineers5. Why you should still learn to code (even with AI)6. How to develop an “E-shaped” career that combines multiple skills, with AI as a force multiplier7. The career advice he keeps coming back to (“Don't be fungible”)8. How AI can democratize one-on-one tutoring, potentially transforming education9.

An individual "is responsible for everything he does," claimed Sartre. And from criminal justice to creative expression, free will and responsibility are central to our culture and our personal lives. Yet neuroscientists and materialist thinkers commonly maintain that freedom is an illusion. And it remains unknown how the core principles of freedom and responsibility can be reconciled with this outlook. Many attempts have been made to argue that the two seemingly contradictory frameworks can be made compatible. But critics say these "compatibilist" arguments are unconvincing and are driven merely by the attempt to make scientific materialism acceptable. Furthermore, whilst surveys suggest most materialist philosophers believe we can reconcile the two, the majority of us reject the idea that an action can be both determined and free.Paul Bloom is a Canadian-American psychologist, bestselling author, and celebrated speaker. He is Professor Emeritus at Yale and a professor at the University of Toronto. Bloom's work explores human nature, morality, and pleasure.Joining us from California is Robert Sapolsky.

In this message, we explore how Paul “blooms where he's planted” through five practical responses: noticing the goodness of people around him, serving in simple ways, shaking off the enemy's lies, stepping into Spirit-led opportunities, and leaning into the strength of Christian community. If you're in a detour season—a “Malta” you didn't choose—this sermon will help you find purpose, fruitfulness, and courage right where you are. For prayer and to stay connected, please visit: https://www.cccgreeley.org For Giving: https://www.cccgreeley.org/give/ Discussion guide: https://cccgreeley.org/wp-content/uploads/2026/01/2026-1-24-25-Group-Discussion-Questions.pdf Thinking About Baptism?

When the pandemic hit in 2020, working from home skyrocketed. Six years later, many companies have returned to in-person work, but hybrid models are still the dominant structure. So with WFH here to stay in some form, what's the proper balance? And what are we at risk of losing in the long term with less in-office interaction?Nick Bloom is an economics professor at Stanford University and one of the first researchers to take a serious look at the work from home phenomenon. He joins hosts and finance professors Jonathan Berk and Jules van Binsbergen to discuss his research into why working from home has outlasted COVID precautions, its impact on employee performance, the surprising effects its had on birthrates, and his recommendation to companies on striking the perfect balance with a hybrid structure.  Find All Else Equal on the web: https://lauder.wharton.upenn.edu/allelse/All Else Equal: Making Better Decisions Podcast is a production of the UPenn Wharton Lauder Institute through University FM.

The January 21 edition of the AgNet News Hour was a full-on technology showcase as hosts Nick Papagni and Josh McGill explored the fast-changing world of ag automation—from spray drones to millimeter-accurate weed control to bloom-time disease protection in almonds. The message was clear: for California growers facing rising labor costs and tighter margins, innovation isn't a luxury anymore—it's survival. The show opened with Papagni on the road in Salinas, sharing a quick reminder about heavy fog across the Central Valley and then jumping into a conversation about why marketing matters, even in agriculture. The hosts pointed to how companies like Crystal Creamery are adding kid-friendly games and facts to milk cartons, small changes that can boost long-term consumer demand through smart branding. From there, the episode shifted hard into ag tech with a featured interview with Arthur Erickson, co-founder of Hylio, a U.S.-based company manufacturing large agricultural drones designed for heavy-payload crop applications. Erickson described Helio's newest machine, the Atlas drone, as a massive unit capable of operating at around 550 pounds fully loaded, making it more like a small flying workhorse than a hobby drone. He also shared major industry news: the administration is moving toward restricting foreign-made drones and critical drone components, opening the door for American manufacturers to grow quickly and compete at scale. Erickson explained that drone applications can generate strong return on investment depending on the crop and use case, with research showing drones can outperform traditional tractor applications due to improved canopy penetration and reduced spray volume. Just as importantly, he emphasized ease of use: because the drones fly autonomously, both young operators and older farmers can learn quickly and put the technology to work. Next, Papagni interviewed Chad Yagow of Verdant Robotics, a company turning heads with its “aim before it applies” system called the Sharpshooter. Yagow explained that the machine uses AI and 3D field mapping to identify weeds and crops in real time and deliver micro-targeted applications, reducing liquid use by 96 to 99 percent compared to broadcast spraying. The system mounts on a standard three-point hitch tractor and is designed to be lightweight, fuel-efficient, and usable in softer field conditions where heavier rigs struggle. To close out the episode, Cowboy Dale interviewed Kendall Johnson of UPL, focusing on almond bloom-time disease protection. Johnson stressed that bloom is the most vulnerable window for disease entry and highlighted threats like brown rot, jacket rot, blossom blight, shot hole, scab, bacterial blast, and botrytis. He recommended strong timing from pink bud through bloom and emphasized rotating fungicide modes of action to prevent resistance. Johnson also highlighted Axios 20SC, a newer fungicide option with a unique mode of action and potential value for summer diseases like Alternaria as well. Between drones in the sky, precision sprayers on the ground, and smarter bloom programs in the orchard, this episode was a reminder that the future of farming is arriving fast—and California growers are right in the middle of it.

During their first full season, Rick and Rose Bengtson of Ice Moon Farms suffered catastrophic damage from wind and flooding. As devastating as that was, they bounced back and we can learn from the way they rebuilt and the strategies they used to prolong cashflow later into the fall to make up for some of the income they missed in the summer. One of those strategies was holiday wreaths and amaryllis- another was using light deprivation to get chrysanthemums to bloom earlier. Learn how this worked out in practice and considerations if you're thinking of doing the same thing. Plus, hear about their homemade bed shaper, their pest and other challenges, how they overcome them and more in this week's podcast interview. Connect With Guest:Facebook: @icemoonfarmsllcInstagram: @icemoonfarmsllc Free companion article:All about chrysanthemums by Rebecca Kutzer-Rice from Growing for Market Magazine Podcast Sponsors: Huge thanks to our podcast sponsors as they make this podcast FREE to everyone with their generous support: There are a lot of farm sales platforms out there, but there's only one that's cooperatively owned by farmers. That's GrownBy — your all-in-one solution to simplify farm sales.

Transcript:Nl: In de wintermaanden, wanneer de wereld in een stille rust is gehuld, ligt de Keukenhof er bijna verlaten bij.En: In the winter months, when the world is shrouded in a quiet calm, Keukenhof lies almost deserted.Nl: Maar voor Bram, een toegewijde landschapsarchitect, is dit de drukste tijd van het jaar.En: But for Bram, a dedicated landscape architect, this is the busiest time of the year.Nl: De voorbereidingen voor het lentefestival zijn in volle gang.En: Preparations for the spring festival are in full swing.Nl: De uitgestrekte velden van de Keukenhof worden zorgvuldig gepland en voorbereid, zodat ze binnenkort zullen uitbarsten in een zee van kleuren.En: The vast fields of the Keukenhof are being carefully planned and prepared so that they will soon burst into a sea of color.Nl: Bram liep door de tuinen, zijn adem wolkjes achterlatend in de koude lucht.En: Bram walked through the gardens, his breath leaving little clouds in the cold air.Nl: De bomen om hem heen droegen een lichte laag rijp, waardoor hun kale takken scherp afstaken tegen de heldere hemel.En: The trees around him bore a light layer of frost, making their bare branches stand out sharply against the clear sky.Nl: Het was nu winter, maar in zijn gedachten zag Bram al de levendige tulpenvelden voor zich.En: It was winter now, but in his mind, Bram already saw the vibrant tulip fields.Nl: Hij was vastbesloten om dit jaar een tentoonstellingsstuk te creëren dat iedereen zou verbazen.En: He was determined to create an exhibition piece this year that would amaze everyone.Nl: Vooral Sanne.En: Especially Sanne.Nl: Sanne was Brams collega, bekend om haar creatieve ontwerpen.En: Sanne was Bram's colleague, known for her creative designs.Nl: Bram bewonderde haar stiekem en

days remained short and the nights cold, fate struck.Nl: Een onverwachte vorst dreigde de vroege bloei van zijn zorgvuldig geplande tulpen te vernielen.En: An unexpected frost threatened to ruin the early bloom of his carefully planned tulips.Nl: Het was een groot risico voor de tentoonstelling.En: It was a significant risk for the exhibition.Nl: Bram voelde de druk toenemen.En: Bram felt the pressure mounting.Nl: Om de tulpen te beschermen, werkte Bram nachtenlang door.En: To protect the tulips, Bram worked through the nights.Nl: Hij installeerde speciale verwarmingslampen tussen de bloemen en experimenteerde met bodembehandelingen.En: He installed special heating lamps among the flowers and experimented with soil treatments.Nl: Zijn zorgen maakten de dagen kort en de nachten lang, en hij overwoog of hij Sanne om hulp moest vragen.En: His worries made the days short and the nights long, and he considered whether to ask Sanne for help.Nl: Trots stond hem in de weg, maar de gedachte aan mislukking was nog erger.En: Pride stood in his way, but the thought of failure was even worse.Nl: Een week voor de opening van het festival kwam er een koude inval.En: A week before the festival's opening, a cold snap arrived.Nl: Het leek al het harde werk van Bram te kunnen vernietigen.En: It seemed like all of Bram's hard work could be destroyed.Nl: Maar toen de ochtend van de opening aanbrak, scheen de winterzon helder over de velden.En: But when the morning of the opening dawned, the winter sun shone brightly over the fields.Nl: De tulpen bloeiden prachtig, een levendige oceaan van kleuren die iedereen betoverde.En: The tulips bloomed beautifully, a vibrant ocean of colors that enchanted everyone.Nl: Bram genoot van de lof van de bezoekers.En: Bram enjoyed the praise from the visitors.Nl: Maar het was het compliment van Sanne dat hem het meest raakte.En: But it was Sanne's compliment that touched him the most.Nl: Ze glimlachte naar hem en haar woorden waren oprecht: "Het is werkelijk prachtig, Bram."En: She smiled at him, and her words were sincere: "It is truly beautiful, Bram."Nl: Het moment was klein, maar het veranderde alles voor hem.En: The moment was small, but it changed everything for him.Nl: Bram realiseerde zich dat samenwerking en creativiteit de sleutel waren, naast de precisie die hij altijd had nagestreefd.En: Bram realized that collaboration and creativity were the keys, alongside the precision he had always pursued.Nl: De tentoonstelling was een succes en met zijn nieuwe les vond Bram niet alleen de erkenning die hij zocht,

De Keukenhof, onder een blauwe winterhemel, straalde.En: The Keukenhof, under a blue winter sky, shone.Nl: En in dat moment wist Bram dat dit pas het begin was van nog veel meer mooie creaties.En: And

He didn't build a luxury brand by doing everything. He built it by doing one thing exceptionally well — consistently. In this episode of The Root of All Success, Jason Duncan sits down with Larry Walshe, founder of This Is Beyond, one of the world's most respected luxury event and design houses. Larry's journey began with £700 and a dining room table, and today his work spans Royal households, global luxury brands, and A-list clients. This conversation goes beyond aesthetics and into the real foundations of sustainable success. Larry shares: • Why focus is the true advantage in luxury and business • How consistency beats talent over the long term • The systems behind scaling a creative business without burnout • Why staying in your lane creates both freedom and profitability • What entrepreneurs misunderstand about “doing more” If you're a founder, creative, or entrepreneur trying to scale without losing your edge — this episode will change how you think about growth, discipline, and freedom.

Extras: A companion YouTube playlist for this episode, which features original Persian recitations by Ahmad Shamlou alongside English translation readings and interviews about Shamlou by Niloufar Talebi. Fiind it here. Bios: One of the most influential cultural figures of Iran in the latter half of the twentieth century, Ahmad Shamlou (1925–2000) authored more than 70 books, including 18 volumes of poetry. Sometimes known by his pen name, Alef Bamdad, Shamlou's innovations brought on a transition from classical forms to free verse and made him a flag-bearer of the Iranian vanguard, which included the poet Forough Farrokhzad. Shamlou's synthesis of Eastern and Western poetic traditions and high and low styles democratized the literary mode without simplifying it. Championing the “everyman,” Shamlou's work reflects his deep engagement with social issues and the human condition.Niloufar Talebi is an author, educator, producer, and multidisciplinary storyteller whose work spans literature, opera, performance, and cultural translation. Her practice is rooted in reinvention—transforming language and lived experience into art that awakens, stirs, and liberates. Niloufar is the editor and translator of Elegies of the Earth: Selected Poems by Ahmad Shamlou (World Poetry, 2025), a sweeping centennial edition of Iran's iconic twentieth-century poet of liberty, whose work shaped modern Persian poetry. Her memoir Self-Portrait in Bloom (l'Aleph, 2019), praised as “a hybrid wonder” (The Rumpus), combines personal narrative with her award-winning translations of Nobel Prize–nominated Iranian poet Ahmad Shamlou. The book inspired the acclaimed opera Abraham in Flames (2019), which she commissioned, produced, presented, and co-created in collaboration with composer Aleksandra Vrebalov and director Roy Rallo.

Law enforcement Explorer programs were created to mentor teens interested in policing. But decades of weak oversight created an environment where officers could manipulate that trust.

Visitmalesurvivor.orgStaying Safe in Youth Law Enforcement Programs:If you or your child is involved in a Police Explorer program – or any youth mentorship run by law enforcement – there are steps you can take to reduce risk and create safer boundaries.Ask direct questions. Who runs the program? What are the policies around texting, ride-alongs, and one-on-one interactions? Are there rules that limit contact between adult officers and minors outside of scheduled events?Insist on transparency. Reputable programs should have clear, written guidelines about communication, supervision, and conduct. Ask to see them.Monitor ride-alongs. Know who your child is riding with, how long they're gone, and what the reporting procedures are.Watch the tech. Officers or advisors should never be Snapchatting, DMing, or texting minors privately. Monitor app usage and discuss healthy boundaries.Get involved. Show up to meetings. Get to know the adults running the program. Your presence as a parent or guardian helps make the space safer for everyone.Keep communication open. Let your child know they can talk to you about anything -- especially if something makes them uncomfortable. Make it clear that they won't be in trouble for speaking up.Getting Help:If you or someone you know has experienced abuse in a Police Explorer or similar youth program, here's what to do:Believe them. If a child or teen discloses abuse, believe what they say. Stay calm, listen, and affirm that it's not their fault. Praise them for coming forward.Report it. If the child is in danger, call 911. Otherwise, contact your local police, sheriff's department, or state child protection agency. If you're concerned local police might have a conflict of interest, contact your state police, state attorney general, or the FBI.Document/preserve everything. Save messages, screenshots, call logs — anything that could help support the report.Seek emotional support: Abuse by a trusted adult is incredibly disorienting. You and/or your child deserve compassionate care from someone trained in trauma -- like a therapist, school counselor, or crisis line advocate.Connect with survivor resources. Many organizations offer specialized support for young people.Consult legal counsel: Some survivors explore civil legal action against individuals or institutions. An attorney familiar with institutional abuse cases can help assess your options.Red Flags: Signs of Grooming or Abuse in Explorer Programs:Abuse by authority figures often begins with grooming -- a gradual, often-subtle process that builds trust before violating it. Here are common warning signs in youth law enforcement programs:“Special” treatment. One teen is singled out for attention, gifts, mentorship, or exclusive opportunities not given to others.Excessive one-on-one contact. Repeated private ride-alongs, late-night messages, or invitations to hang out off-duty.Private communication. The adult uses personal texting apps, Snapchat, Instagram DMs, or other unmonitored channels to talk to a minor.Overstepping/blurring boundaries. Inappropriate compliments, jokes about relationships, or sharing personal details not appropriate for a mentor-mentee dynamic.Isolation. The adult discourages the teen from talking to others about their relationship or makes the teen feel responsible for their secrecy.Gaslighting or guilt. The adult blames the teen for misunderstandings, manipulates their emotions, or makes them feel they'll “ruin someone's life” if they speak out.Physical contact. Touch that's unnecessary, prolonged, or makes the teen uncomfortable -- even if it's framed as casual or accidental. You can learn more about The Good segment and even submit a story of your own by visiting The Good page on our website! Source materials for this episode cannot be listed here due to character limitations.
