Modern Syria has seen violence, repression, and autocracy, suffering through tragedy after tragedy over the past century. Yet the history of Syria is not just a tale of dictators and generals. From the 1800s to the 2020s, the Syrian people have engaged in a passionate struggle for justice, equality, and a better future. Whether fighting for national independence from French colonial rule, battling local landowning elites to share the country's wealth, or rising up against the Assad regime, the Syrian people have fiercely clung to their right to live with respect and dignity. Theirs is a story of protest and perseverance in the long fight to reshape the political destiny of their nation. Daniel Neep's new book, A History of Modern Syria, offers a gripping narrative of how Syrians have navigated the events of the last two centuries. Never losing sight of the fates of ordinary people, it provides a comprehensive account of how a nation born in conflict sustained a rich, complex, and diverse society that after the fall of Assad will chart a new path into the uncertain future. Daniel Neep is Non-Resident Fellow at the Crown Center for Middle East Studies, Brandeis University, and Senior Editor at Arab Center Washington DC. He has taught Middle East politics at George Washington University, Georgetown University, and the University of Exeter. He was previously Research Director (Syria) at the Council for British Research in the Levant and spent several years living in Syria and Jordan. He is also the author of Occupying Syria under the French Mandate: Insurgency, Space, and State Formation (Cambridge University Press, 2012) and articles in journals including International Affairs, Journal of Democracy, New Political Economy, and the Journal of Historical Sociology.

Alysa Liu, in choosing joy and self fulfillment over winning at all cost, proved that doing it "my way" is the ultimate competitive advantage. In this episode of SoS – Sip of Solace When Olympic figure skater Alysa Liu was asked how she felt about the gold medal around her neck, she shrugged with playful confidence: it matched her hair color. To her, the medal was just a physical object. Something she could even lose. What she refused to lose was herself. After rising to fame at 13 and stepping away at 16 from a win-at-all-costs training culture, she returned at 18 with a different mindset. No longer chasing validation. No longer performing for approval. This time, she chose to skate my way. Authentic expression replaced pressure. Joy replaced anxiety. Art replaced obsession with outcome. And excellence followed. Her story reminds us that when identity becomes the anchor, performance becomes the byproduct. Winning is no longer the definition of success. Alignment is. That is powerful from the inside out. That is liberating. When you stop performing for the world and start expressing your truth, the world responds. The lesson extends far beyond the ice rink. Leaders who build enduring brands do not chase metrics alone. They build from conviction. They Think Different. They Stand for Something. They lead my way, grounded in clarity, belief, and purpose. The journey is destiny. Joyful alignment fuels mastery. Authenticity is the ultimate power source. Find yourself. Clarify your passion. Define your meaning. Live and lead my way. That is your superpower. That is your brand. To read it as a 1-min blog To watch it as a 4-min video

The family policing system considers parents with mental health issues and other disabilities to be an inherent threat to their children. We reject that premise. Because of ableism, the legacy of eugenics, and the violence of poverty, disabled parents face a high risk of separation by the family policing system. In this episode, Dr. Robyn Powell discusses how the child welfare system weaponizes the idea of “predictive neglect” to discriminate against parents with disabilities and further enshrine stigma around mental health. How can we build a future where disabled families are supported through care, community, and trust—not surveillance and punishment? Reclaiming Safety is upEND's exploration of frequently asked questions about family policing abolition. This discussion about disability justice is an accompaniment to the essay Reclaiming Safety for Children of Parents with Disabilities by Charisa Smith. About Our Guest: Dr. Robyn Powell is an Assistant Professor of Law at Stetson University College of Law and a Senior Research Associate at the Lurie Institute for Disability Policy at Brandeis University. Her work focuses on disability law, reproductive justice, family regulation, and constitutional law, with a special emphasis on the rights of disabled parents and the abolition of the family policing system.She is the principal author of the National Council on Disability's landmark report Rocking the Cradle, Ensuring the Rights of Parents with Disabilities and Their Children, and her scholarship—featured in leading law reviews and interdisciplinary journals—examines how law and policy continue to reinforce ableism and the legacy of eugenics.Episode Notes: Support the work of upEND: upendmovement.org/donateEpisode Transcript: upendmovement.org/podcast/episode301/ Read Reclaiming Safety: upendmovement.org/safety Dr. Powell recommends people learn more about disability justice through Sins Invalid and the Disability Visibility Project.Connect with Dr. Powell at Stetson Law.Credits: Hosted by Josie Pickens and Jaison OliverProduced by Sydnie MaresMixed by Imani Crosby

In this episode, Steve Fretzin and Jennifer Gillman discuss:Building rainmaking as a sustainable, early-career practiceShifting mindset to overcome fear and unlock visibilityUsing small, consistent actions to compound business developmentGaining autonomy by moving from service partner to rainmaker Key Takeaways:Becoming a happy rainmaker is not a late-career scramble but a long game that should begin as early as law school or the first years of practice. By consistently maintaining relationships with classmates and peers, lawyers build familiarity and trust over time. This approach replaces transactional job-seeking with organic, referral-based growth.A core barrier to business development is the fear of judgment, captured by the reminder that what other people think of you is none of your business. This mindset shift frees lawyers to show up on LinkedIn, speak publicly, and introduce themselves without self-consciousness. Confidence grows through action rather than perfection.Rainmaking does not require massive time blocks but thrives on small, intentional habits repeated consistently. Even 15 to 20 minutes a week spent nurturing relationships or learning LinkedIn and AI tools can create long-term leverage. Like compound interest, steady effort builds momentum and results.Rainmakers gain control over clients, schedules, and priorities, while service partners remain dependent on others for work and timing. Building a book of business early reframes BD as an investment in future autonomy rather than an added burden. This shift creates greater flexibility and career control. "If you can develop one dollar of business, you can develop a million dollars or ten million." —  Jennifer Gillman Check out my new show, Be That Lawyer Coaches Corner, and get the strategies I use with my clients to win more business and love your career again. Ready to go from good to GOAT in your legal marketing game?

Iran has been shaken by protests on a scale not seen since its 1979 revolution. Demonstrations that began in the country's capital over the state of the economy have spread to multiple cities, with wider calls for political change.The government has called the demonstrations "riots" backed by the nation's enemies.Thousands have been killed.For some, the scenes bring back memories of the uprising that toppled the monarchy more than four decades ago. Crown Prince Reza Pahlavi, the exiled son of Iran's last monarch, has emerged as a figure that could challenge the existing order.This week on The Inquiry, we're asking ‘Is history repeating itself in Iran?'Contributors: Naghmeh Sohrabi, modern Middle East historian, director for research at the Crown Center for Middle East Studies at Brandeis University, United States Azadeh Kian, author of ‘Rethinking Gender, Ethnicity and Religion in Iran', emerita professor of sociology and gender studies at the University of Paris Cité, France Sara Bazoobandi, non-resident research fellow at the Institute for Security Policy of Kiel University, Germany Siavash Ardalan, BBC Persia senior reporter, United KingdomPresenter: Daniel Rosney Producer: Megan Lawton Technical producer: James Bradshaw Editor: Tom Bigwood Production Management: Phoebe Lomas and Liam Morrey(Photo: Car on fire on a street in Iran.

This is  a short poem by Joanne Z. Tan: "Is life One Way or a Round Trip?"  using metaphor of creek, river, lake in Yosemite, rain, snow, lightning, thunders, clouds, and the fog in Golden Gate Bridge, symbolizing life's journey. To watch it as a 2-min video To read it as a blog    A tiny creek  In the high country of Yosemite Born of melting snow Filtered through the clefts of granite Streaming down a thawing peak.   Dripping, dropping, Dancing its way  Giggling, laughing, Roaring, swelling, Dashing out of the Valley.   Does it know where it goes? When will it end? And why? Who owns its life?   More creeks gather, Into the Merced River. Onward, forward, one way journey seaward,  Hither and thither, torrential, playful, Reckless, mournful,  Restless, peaceful.   The creek, the river, become the lake, Waters the crops along the way, feeds the climbers of the peak. Matters not If ever it reaches the sea.   Murmurs, shimmers, under the sun it simmers, rising water, skyward ascends, ignites lightning and thunder. Angelic or devilish, could care less, Rain and drizzle, descends. Between Heaven and Earth,  metamorphosis, transcends.    Into the misty fog reincarnates, the creek, the river, and the lake,  ghosts through the Golden Gate Bridge,  hugs the seedlings on the Marin Ridge.   The fog rolls into the hovering clouds snow flakes swirl and flutter  down on the peak That birthed the tiny creek.   If that creek is life itself, Is it one way or a round trip?   Insignificant, not self aware, It lives, one form or another,  knowingly or unknowingly A part of a grand design, Earthly and finite, Eternal and divine.    © Joanne Z.

In the October 12, 2023 issue of The Hollywood Reporter, Scott Feinberg offered an annotated list of the 100 greatest film books of all time. Drawing on a jury of 322 people who make, study, and are otherwise connected to the movies, Feinberg assembled an annotated list that reads like the ultimate film study syllabus. In this interview, Dan Moran asks him about the voting process, top winners, some omissions, and what the list reveals about the industry as a whole. Scott Feinberg has led The Hollywood Reporter's awards coverage since 2011 (he covered awards for the Los Angeles Times before that). He is best known for his “Feinberg Forecast,” through which he assesses the standings of various showbiz awards races, and for Awards Chatter, the interview-centric podcast that he started in 2015, for which he has conducted career-retrospective interviews with some 500 of Hollywood's biggest names. An alumnus of Brandeis University, he is also a trustee professor at Chapman University's Dodge College of Film and Media Arts, serves on the board of the Los Angeles Press Club and is a voting member of BAFTA and the Critics Choice Association. Daniel Moran earned his B.A. and M.A. in English from Rutgers University and his Ph.D. in History from Drew University. The author of Creating Flannery O'Connor: Her Critics, Her Publishers, Her Readers and articles on G. K. Chesterton and John Ford, he teaches research and writing at Rutgers and co-hosts the podcast Fifteen-Minute Film Fanatics, found here on the New Books Network and on X.
