As Americans age, they have a few options for care in their later years, like moving in with a family member or into an assisted-living facility. Or aging in place.... Increasingly, with the assistance of AI. Steven Blum is a writer from Seattle now based in Austria. He published a piece about his aging father, who lives alone in Seattle and is being monitored through Sensi. It’s an AI device that’s constantly listening for signs of distress. It’s supposed to detect if Blum’s dad has fallen. It was an option that made sense, because his father doesn’t want to move out of his home. He isn’t alone. Last year, the Pew Research Center asked older Americans what they would do if they couldn’t live by themselves anymore. Around 60% said that they’d rather stay in their homes and have someone care for them, instead of moving into an assisted living facility or a nursing home. As Americans enter their later years, AI could be part of their care. Guest: Steven Blum, a writer based in Austria Related links: My Father Wants to Age in Place.

Episode 78 of the Unspoken Words podcast features Dr. Elisa Shipon-Blum and Dr. Jenna Blum exploring the power of preparation — why structured action plans reduce anxiety and unlock communication for children, teens, and adults with Selective Mutism.The episode explores why uncertainty fuels anxiety to the point of shutdown — how processing challenges, perfectionism, and hidden factors like ADHD make the unknown overwhelming. Through real-world examples, including a twelve-year-old thrilled about a party all week who goes silent on arrival, they show why "just be brave and talk" misses what these individuals need, and how preparation builds the comfort, connection, and confidence that fuel communication.The heart of the episode turns to practical application: building a who-what-where action plan, mapping who will be there and what each person might ask, and tailoring responses across the Social Communication Bridge®. They cover the SM triangle, verbal intermediary, copy-back and sandwich questions, roadmapping events from barbecues to airport security, and structuring activities to start with confidence.The episode closes on a reminder: when children know what, when, and where, anxiety lowers and communication follows.--Chapters: (03:44) Why Uncertainty Fuels Anxiety and Makes Communication Shut Down(13:30) What an Action Plan Actually Is—Mapping Who, What, Where, and the Questions(17:56) Why Tailoring Questions to Each Person Keeps Kids From Freezing(25:38) How Structuring Activities, Roadmaps, and Travel Builds Real Confidence(34:47) How to Make Action Plans an Everyday Routine—and Review What Worked- ADDITIONAL RESOURCES: https://selectivemutismcenter.org/resources/ Ask Dr. E a question of your own! Learn more about the host, Dr. Elisa Shipon-Blum Explore our SMart Center success stories! Get started at the SMart Center Listen to other Unspoken Words episodes here. For the best clips from every episode, follow the podcast on Instagram & YouTube Learn more about CommuniCamp, our 3+ day intensive group treatment and ALL DAY parent training & support programLearn more about our 6-week, virtual social skills series, which are skills-based groups designed to help children, teens, & young adults build social communication, comfort, and connection with similar aged-peers in a supportive setting.- For all podcast inquiries, please contact Dakota Hornak at ⁠dhornak@selectivemutismcenter.org⁠ This podcast was produced and published by New Edition Productions (neweditionconsulting.com)

Vous aimez notre peau de caste ? Soutenez-nous ! https://www.lenouvelespritpublic.fr/abonnementUne émission de Philippe Meyer, enregistrée au studio l'Arrière-boutique le 19 juin 2026.Avec cette semaine :Jean-Louis Bourlanges, essayiste, ancien président de la Commission des Affaires étrangères de l'Assemblée nationale.Marc-Olivier Padis, directeur des études de la fondation Terra Nova.MARC BLOCHC'est en 2006, il y a donc 20 ans qu'une tribune d'historiens publiée par Le Figaro réclama l'entrée au panthéon de Marc Bloch. Elle aura donc lieu avec son épouse, Simonne Vidal, 20 ans plus tard. On peut regretter cette attente. Etienne Bloch fils aîné Marc et son interlocuteur privilégié, lui-même résistant à Lyon avant de s'engager dans les FFI puis de rejoindre la 2ème Division Blindée était encore de ce monde qu'il n'a quitté que trois ans plus tard.Résistant, historien, rationaliste républicain, critique des mythologies nationales et profondément patriote : Marc Bloch échappe aux catégories trop simples. Grand médiéviste, auteur des Rois thaumaturges (1924), des Caractères originaux de l'histoire rurale (1931), de La Société féodale (1939) et aussi d'une réflexion posthume sur son « métier d'historien », Apologie pour l'histoire, Marc Bloch a ouvert l'histoire aux apports de la sociologie et de l'ethnologie dans une démarche interdisciplinaire novatrice. En 1920, il noue amitié avec son collègue historien Lucien Febvre. Leur complicité intellectuelle les conduit à fonder ensemble les Annales d'histoire économique et sociale, dont le premier numéro paraît en janvier 1929. La revue exercera une influence considérable sur plusieurs générations d'historiens.Républicain convaincu il partageait les idéaux socialistes : il adhéra à la SFIO, sans pour autant se signaler ni par son militantisme ni par ses prises de position publiques. En 1934, il signe avec Lucien Febvre le manifeste du Comité de vigilance des intellectuels antifascistes, mais juge le texte indigent. En 1936, il soutient le Front populaire contre la bourgeoisie d'argent, mais critique Blum et les syndicats, et n'aime pas les communistes. Homme d'action et de responsabilité, Marc Bloch s'est battu en 1914 et s'est réengagé en 1939. En 1940, à chaud, il écrit Témoignage, qui deviendra L'Étrange Défaite. Une analyse au scalpel du désastre de 1940 où il montre que le pays a été battu parce qu'il s'était déjà défait à l'intérieur. L'ouvrage paraîtra à titre posthume en 1946. Ce « procès-verbal » implacable se décompose en trois chapitres : « Présentation du témoin », « La déposition d'un vaincu » et « Examen de conscience d'un Français ». Dans cet ouvrage, l'historien de 53 ans ausculte la société de l'entre-deux-guerres, sa course vers l'abîme, et en appelle à une responsabilité autant individuelle que collective. Il y fustige des stratèges dépassés qui, comme en 1914, lorsqu'ils se référaient aux guerres napoléoniennes, n'ont rien compris à la guerre de mouvement en 1939. Il assemble les pièces d'un puzzle, en historien du contemporain, et procède à la mise en perspective des événements. Pointant notamment la bureaucratie, il n'épargnait personne, ni l'armée, ni les civils, ni la droite, ni la gauche, ni la bourgeoisie, ni ses contempteurs marxistes : « Les défaillances du syndicalisme ouvrier n'ont pas été, dans cette guerre-ci, plus niables que celles des états-majors », affirmait-il, déplorant le fait qu'« on n'a pas assez travaillé, dans les fabrications de guerre ». Il relevait aussi les failles de l'éducation, de l'instruction, de l'esprit de curiosité en général.Après avoir écrit L'Étrange Défaite, persécuté parce que juif, insoumis parce que patriote, le vieux Sorbonnard est entré en 1943 dans la Résistance. Arrêté en mars 1944 par la Gestapo, torturé à la prison Montluc à Lyon, il a été fusillé le 16 juin 1944, à l'âge de 57 ans.LA RÉPUBLIQUEAlors qu'il était entré dans la clandestinité en 1943, Marc Bloch écrivit dans « Pourquoi je suis républicain » : « La République est le régime du peuple ». Cette forme de gouvernement conçu dans l'antiquité connait des interprétations variées. Alors qu'il était admis jusqu'au XVIIIe siècle que la République puisse être aussi bien monarchique, aristocratique ou démocratique, pourvu que soit pris en compte le bien commun, la vision française après Rousseau considère qu'une République bien comprise ne peut être qu'une démocratie. C'est ce que deux historiens du droit, Jacques de Saint-Victor, et Thomas Branthôme, dans leur Histoire de la République en France nomment l'« exclusivisme républicain » français. Les auteurs observent qu'à rebours de ce projet, on voit, depuis quelques années, sous l'influence du modèle anglo-saxon, s'installer des conceptions communautaristes de la démocratie. Dans cette évolution, l'idée laïque, par exemple, qui marque si profondément la tradition républicaine française, est subvertie. Il ne s'agit plus, selon eux, de protéger l'État contre les religions mais, à l'inverse de protéger les religions contre l'État.Formalisée en 1790, la devise de la République française « Liberté, Égalité, Fraternité » évolua également. Le ternaire s'effaça sous le Consulat et le Premier Empire, dont la devise officielle fut « Liberté, Ordre public ». Le maréchal de Mac‑Mahon, en 1879, instaura brièvement l'« Ordre moral ». En 1940, Philippe Pétain lui substitua la devise « Travail, Famille, Patrie ». Si 83 % des Français, en 2023 se déclarèrent attachés à la devise, 54 % d'entre eux donnaient la priorité à la Liberté, devant l'Égalité (29 %) et la Fraternité (17 %). Mais nombre d'entre eux jugèrent sa mise en œuvre défaillante : la Liberté n'existerait pleinement que pour 54 % d'entre eux, la Fraternité pour 35 % et l'Égalité pour 31 %.Tandis que, depuis le 16 juin, le projet de loi constitutionnelle pour une Corse autonome est examiné à l'Assemblée, le juriste Benjamin Morel et le politologue Patrick Weil demandent à ce qu'il soit retiré au nom des valeurs historiques de la France. Ce projet de loi propose de reconnaître des droits particuliers en raison d'une « communauté historique, linguistique, culturelle, ayant développé un lien singulier à sa terre ». Il crée ainsi, font valoir le juriste et le politologue une hiérarchie entre Français : ceux qui se rattacheront à une communauté corse reconnue, privilégiée, et les autres. Ce serait en rupture radicale et fondamentale avec « les grands principes universalistes qui fondent la République, tout particulièrement le principe d'égalité de tous les citoyens devant la loi sans distinction d'origine, de race ou de religion énoncé à l'article Ier de la Constitution ». Hiérarchiser les citoyens au regard d'une appartenance culturelle et y attacher des droits différenciés, c'est la définition juridique du racisme, font-ils valoir. La République encore et toujours à l'épreuve de l'histoire.Chaque semaine, Philippe Meyer anime une conversation d'analyse politique, argumentée et courtoise, sur des thèmes nationaux et internationaux liés à l'actualité.

La directive européenne sur la transparence sur les salaires doit être déclinée et mise en œuvre dans chaque pays à partir du 7 juin. Mais seuls deux pays sont prêts. Nous serons en reportage en Autriche où les écarts dans l'industrie restent criants. Nous serons aussi au Kosovo où la question du port du voile à l'école revient dans le débat.

En France, où les femmes gagnent près de 22% de moins que les hommes en moyenne, et 4% à emploi égal, le gouvernement espère remettre sa copie au Parlement courant juin, mais le texte ne satisfait ni les syndicats ni le patronat. Vienne n'est pas non plus dans les clous. En Autriche aussi, les femmes sont toujours moins payées à emploi égal mais les stéréotypes de genre restent aussi très présents dans le choix des métiers. C'est particulièrement le cas dans l'industrie, alors que Vienne aimerait redynamiser le secteur en manque de main-d'œuvre.

Episode 77 of the Unspoken Words podcast features Dr. Elisa Shipon-Blum and Dr. Jenna Blum exploring the Look, Listen, and Learn framework — a structured approach that teaches parents, educators, and treatment professionals to understand what children communicate through behavior, body language, and silence.The episode explores why observation matters more than focusing solely on speech — how a child's posture, facial expressions, and setting-specific communication patterns reveal the true underlying causes of mutism. Through real-world examples — a nine-year-old who clings to mom at family gatherings, and a school-age child who speaks at recess but shuts down during academics — they demonstrate how the same shutdown can signal different things: sensory overload, learning challenges, anxiety, or hidden ADHD.The heart of the episode turns to practical application: using Look-Listen-Learn to identify contributing factors, understanding your child's baseline on the Social Communication Bridge®, and why functional assessment reveals what behavioral strategies alone cannot address. They discuss intensive programs like CommuniCamp, where clinicians observe children across real settings to build effective, individualized treatment plans.The episode closes on a powerful reminder: children with SM are communicating constantly — we just need to learn their language.--Chapters: (03:45) How Body Language, Facial Expressions, and Posture Reveal What Your Child Needs(10:09) How Sensory Overload, Academic Pressure, and Anxiety Show Up in Different Settings(27:49) Why Your Child May Speak in One Place But Not Another—And What It Means(46:20) Distinguishing Selective Mutism From ADHD, Learning Challenges, and Autism Traits(49:27) How Look, Listen, and Learn Guides Assessment, Accommodations, and Real Progress- ADDITIONAL RESOURCES: https://selectivemutismcenter.org/resources/ Ask Dr. E a question of your own! Learn more about the host, Dr. Elisa Shipon-Blum Explore our SMart Center success stories! Get started at the SMart Center Listen to other Unspoken Words episodes here. For the best clips from every episode, follow the podcast on Instagram & YouTube Learn more about CommuniCamp, our 3+ day intensive group treatment and ALL DAY parent training & support programLearn more about our 6-week, virtual social skills series, which are skills-based groups designed to help children, teens, & young adults build social communication, comfort, and connection with similar aged-peers in a supportive setting.- For all podcast inquiries, please contact Dakota Hornak at ⁠dhornak@selectivemutismcenter.org⁠ This podcast was produced and published by New Edition Productions (neweditionconsulting.com)

What does it mean to grow up saved—and then spend your career studying how race, religion, and power have always been tangled together in the west? Christy sits down with Ed J. Blum, historian of Ideas, to find out. From his evangelical upbringing in suburban New Jersey to his landmark scholarship on W.E.B. Du Bois, Ed traces the through-line between personal faith and intellectual obsession. He and Christy swap stories of religious intensity— her family's fervor (at least on Easter), his Mission work, and the complicated questions both raised about belonging and poverty. Ed also pulls back the curtain on his forthcoming book, which uncovers surprising data about racial categorization in Revolutionary-era America. And somehow, it all ends with a pollinator.

By the end of the 1880s, Dunbar was one of the most respected and influential members of Portland's business community, and a member of the Arlington Club. But all was not well with him. It's not clear what happened to push Dunbar over the edge into industrial-scale criminal enterprise. It may have been the death of his wife. It may also have been the influence of Nat Blum, a flamboyant cigar-store owner who was a junior partner in Merchants Steamship Co. Or maybe he was criminally inclined all along, believing on a philosophical level that the U.S. government had no right to tell him what he could and could not do with his steamships. Or, maybe he just hated waste. After all, nobody in Portland was buying shiploads of Chinese goods; each time one of his steamships left Portland, loaded with grain bound for buyers in China, it had to sail back home in ballast. Not only was the return trip wasted, but Dunbar had to pay draymen to load and unload the ballast rocks that would keep the ship stable and safe. We can imagine him thinking about this: What cargo could I bring from China to Portland, on the return voyages, after bringing wheat from Portland to China? And we can imagine him realizing that there were two cargoes that would be extremely lucrative for him: People, and opium.

Episode 76 of the Unspoken Words podcast features Dr. Elisa Shipon-Blum and Dr. Jenna Blum tackling one of the most misunderstood realities of Selective Mutism — the difficult behaviors that so often surface alongside it. Meltdowns, shutdowns, avoidance, and controlling moments leave many parents exhausted, and Dr. E and Dr. Jenna make the case that none of these behaviors are defiance. They are communication.Dr. E and Dr. Jenna explore why so many children with SM hold it together at school and fall apart at home, and why structure, consistency, routine, and predictability are non-negotiable for any anxious child. Through real case examples — a six-year-old hiding under the table at her own birthday party, a teen retreating to his room when relatives visit, a young client frozen in front of a beloved family friend — they walk through the four types of difficult behaviors and what each is trying to say.The middle of the episode turns to practical strategy: the Look-Listen-Learn framework, the roadmap method for preparing children before overwhelming events, and bridging down on the Social Communication Bridge® so kids build comfort before words. They also dig into the underlying contributors that drive dysregulation — sensory sensitivities, ADHD, hunger, fatigue, and the parent's own agenda.The episode closes on the feelings chart — a deceptively simple tool that gives children numerical language for emotions they can't yet explain — and on the truth that parents are the most critical component in their child's progress. Dr. E previews a Part Two with more strategies for navigating the big feelings behind the silence.--Chapters: (04:06) When Silence Feels Big: Why Kids with SM Hold It Together at School and Fall Apart at Home(10:55) Behavior Is a Signal, Not Defiance: Reframing Outbursts Through Look, Listen, Learn(17:07) The Roadmap and the Bridge: How Preparation Prevents Avoidance and Shutdown(29:44) On the Lookout: Using Cognition and Real-World Goals to Outsmart the Freeze Response(38:00) The Feelings Chart: Giving Kids Words for What They Can't Yet Explain- ADDITIONAL RESOURCES: https://selectivemutismcenter.org/resources/ Ask Dr. E a question of your own! Learn more about the host, Dr. Elisa Shipon-Blum Explore our SMart Center success stories! Get started at the SMart Center Listen to other Unspoken Words episodes here. For the best clips from every episode, follow the podcast on Instagram & YouTube Learn more about CommuniCamp, our 3+ day intensive group treatment and ALL DAY parent training & support programLearn more about our 6-week, virtual social skills series, designed to help children, teens, & young adults build social communication, comfort, and connection with similar aged-peers in a supportive setting.- For all podcast inquiries, please contact Dakota Hornak at ⁠dhornak@selectivemutismcenter.org⁠ This podcast was produced and published by New Edition Productions (neweditionconsulting.com)

Episode 75 of the Unspoken Words podcast features Dr. Elisa Shipon-Blum and Dr. Jenna Blum answering some of the most commonly submitted listener questions received at the SMart Center — covering peer engagement, school transitions, and a topic that doesn't get nearly enough airtime: grief.Dr. E and Dr. Jenna tackle why children with SM can speak freely at home yet go completely silent around peers, break down the critical difference between responding and initiating, and make the case for why facilitation — not waiting — is the most important thing parents and school professionals can do. Through real case examples, they illustrate how pairing children around high-interest activities like chess clubs and baking projects creates the comfort and connection that must come before communication can follow.The second half turns to grief — specifically, how to process the sadness of not having received proper SM treatment as a child, and what it feels like to watch younger generations succeed while carrying the weight of years of ineffective therapy. Dr. E and Dr. Jenna offer clinical perspective and genuine reassurance, and introduce gratitude journaling as a practical tool for shifting focus from deficits to wins.The episode closes with a timely reminder that the end of the school year is the right time to start planning for the next one — from 504 and IEP updates, to summer peer pairings, to building transitions — and why the tone parents bring to that process matters more than they may realize.--Chapters: (03:23) Introducing the Initiation Gap and Why Facilitation Can't Wait(08:53) How High-Interest Activities Build the Comfort and Connection That Precedes Communication(18:03) What If My Life Had Been Different?
