Molly Brookfield's book, Watching the Girls Go By: A History of Street Harassment in the United States (University of North Carolina Press, 2026) explores the historical, legal, and cultural history of street harassment in the United States. Historically, Brookfield identified the "masher panic" (late 19th–early 20th century) when reformers and municipalities labeled male accosting of women a public problem and enacted anti-masher ordinances or applied disorderly-conduct laws. On law and policy, the book highlights primarily local legal responses against harassment, with municipal codes and reinterpretations of existing ordinances more common than coherent federal action that criminalizes mashing. In Watching the Girls Go By, street harassment is situated on a continuum with other gendered and sexualized violence, with the argument that street harassment normalizes and underpins more extreme harms against women. The book portrays historical scholarly perspectives to street harassment including those of Cheryl Bernard and Edith Schlaffler. Also, the book builds on diverse historical sources and employs varying terms for similar behaviors. The author uses "intrusive behaviors" as a more precise analytic category while preserving period-specific terms when discussing particular historical contexts.  Mariam Olugbodi is a university teacher and a writer, she is the author of the monograph titled: “Stylistic Features in the 2011 and 2012 Final Matches Commentaries in the UEFA Champions League”, published by Grin Verlag. Mariam's greatest dream is seeing a world where knowledge is accessible to all. She does this through her volunteering roles on open knowledge platforms as a host and an editor. As part of her effort to maintain inclusion and diversity in knowledge transmission, she volunteers as a teacher in crises contexts.

Một năm trước, trong diễn văn khai mạc Tuần lễ Công nghệ Luân Đôn (London Tech Week 09-13/06/2025), thủ tướng Anh Keir Starmer đã nêu ra chiến lược lấy việc phát triển trí tuệ nhân tạo AI làm bàn đạp thúc đẩy tăng trưởng kinh tế giai đoạn 2025-2030. Sau một năm lên kế hoạch, với khoản đầu tư gần 100 tỷ bảng vào các trung tâm dữ liệu, vào y tế và giáo dục, ngành AI của Anh đã đạt được tiến bộ gì và giúp cho tăng trưởng kinh tế tới đâu? Thông tín viên Nguyễn Giang từ Luân Đôn giải thích: Anh Quốc đánh cược vào AI RFI : Đầu tiên, xin Nguyễn Giang nói về việc triển khai chiến lược AI của Vương quốc Anh?   Nguyễn Giang : Quan sát những gì Anh quốc đã và đang làm hơn một năm qua, tôi thấy họ đặt trọng tâm của kế hoạch phát triển AI vào các Khu vực Tăng trưởng Ai, tức AI Growth Zones, gọi tắt là AHGZ, với ba mục tiêu: hỗ trợ tăng trưởng kinh tế, tạo đột phá công nghệ và cân bằng, kết nối các vùng miền của Vương quốc Anh. Mô hình AI Growth Zones (Khu vực Tăng trưởng AI) tạo ra các cụm siêu trung tâm dữ liệu (hyperscale data centres) và điện toán hiệu năng cao. Chính phủ Anh đã phê duyệt hàng loạt khu vực trọng điểm ở hạt Oxfordshire (Culham - trung tâm đầu tiên), Đông Bắc Anh (Blyth & North Tyneside), xứ Wales (Wylfa) và gần đây nhất là Scotland (khu vực Lanarkshire - tháng 1/2026). Họ chia ra để mọi khu vực địa lý chính của Vương quốc Anh đều có cơ hội tiếp cận AI.  Khu quan trọng nhất là hành lang công nghệ Oxford-Cambridge (thực tế là cùng Luân Đôn lập ra một Tam giác High-Tech). Xin nhắc là từ Luân Đôn tới Cambridge và Oxford khoảng cách chỉ chừng hơn 100 km. Các đại học lớn, kể cả phòng thí nghiệm nguyên tử quan trọng nhất của Anh (Arbington), cũng nằm trong tam giác này. Điều này giảm được chi phí giao thông, hút được nguồn nhân lực chất lượng cao và tạo điều kiện cho việc kết nối băng thông cho hệ thống điện toán. Nhưng Anh cũng lập các vùng AI Growth Zone ở cả Wales, miền bắc Anh và Scotland là có ý duy trì nhiều động cơ kinh tế cho các vùng đất kia. RFI: Cho tới nay thì các khoản đầu tư được khu vực tư nhân đăng ký vào các khu vực tăng trưởng AI này là bao nhiêu? Nguyễn Giang : Mục tiêu chung là phải đạt tới 100 tỷ bảng Anh đầu tư từ khối tư nhân vào hạ tầng AI thông qua cơ chế này. Ở vùng Đông Bắc (North East AIGZ), quỹ đầu tư Blackstone đã cam kết bỏ ra10 tỷ bảng Anh để xây dựng trung tâm dữ liệu tại Blyth, đồng thời mở đường cho 20 tỷ bảng bổ sung từ các đối tác khác. Chính phủ Anh cũng trực tiếp chi ngân sách tài trợ ban đầu hơn 2,5 tỷ bảng để kích hoạt hệ thống điện toán quốc gia. Điều đáng chú ý là phần cam kết từ cả hai phía. Về phía mình, chính phủ Anh cam kết giá điện đặc biệt cho data centre tại các vùng có thặng dư năng lượng (ví dụ: giảm từ 14 đến 24 bảng/MWh tùy khu vực, tiết kiệm tới 80 triệu bảng/năm cho một trung tâm 500MW). Để đẩy nhanh tiến độ thiết kế các trung tâm dữ liệu, họ ưu tiên đưa chúng vào danh mục Hạ tầng Quốc gia Trọng yếu (Critical National Infrastructure - CNI), cho phép rút ngắn thời gian chờ đấu nối vào lưới điện quốc gia lên đến 5 năm và cắt giảm quy trình phê duyệt quy hoạch từ 18 tháng xuống còn 12 tháng. Còn về phía các nhà đầu tư cùng đối tác ở địa phương thì họ tìm cách bố trí quỹ đất tối thiểu 100 mẫu Anh (acres) đã được dọn sẵn hoặc đủ tiêu chuẩn sẵn sàng xây dựng trước 2028, cam kết tạo ra hàng nghìn việc làm chất lượng cao (như vùng North East cam kết tạo 5.000 việc làm), và phối hợp với các đại học địa phương (Newcastle, Durham...) xây dựng chương trình đào tạo nhân lực AI. Họ cam kết sẽ kết nối với các đại học địa phương. Hiện đang làm nghiên cứu trong một đại học ở Luân Đôn và đã dự nhiều khóa học, hội thảo, tôi thấy một xu hướng rõ rệt: các đại học Anh đang xóa bỏ, thậm chí đóng nhiều khoa ở các trường khắp cả nước trong các bộ môn khoa học xã hội, nghệ thuật, ngôn ngữ, nhưng lại đang mở rất nhiều khóa, ngành liên quan đến trí tuệ nhân tạo, từ mảng nghiên cứu, phát triển công nghệ tới ứng dụng Ai trong đủ mọi lĩnh vực. Xem ra đây là tương lai mới cho giáo dục đại học. RFI: Một câu chuyện nhiều nước nói tới là các trung tâm dữ liệu tiêu thụ điện năng rất lớn. Vậy ở Anh, nguồn năng lượng điện đến từ đâu? Có nằm cạnh nhà máy điện hạt nhân? Nguyễn Giang : Đúng thế, năng lượng là "nút thắt" lớn nhất của hạ tầng AI, và chiến lược của Anh là áp sát nguồn phát năng lượng sạch quy mô lớn, nhưng không chỉ giới hạn ở điện hạt nhân. Điện nguyên tử không phải tất cả, nhưng đây là một trục xương sống cho AI. Ví dụ điển hình nhất là North Wales AI Growth Zone, nơi được thiết kế cặp đôi chiến lược (strategically paired) nằm ngay cạnh dự án Lò phản ứng mô-đun nhỏ (SMR) đầu tiên của Anh tại Wylfa. Sự kết hợp này nhằm cung cấp nguồn điện tải nền (baseload) cực kỳ ổn định và khổng lồ cho các cụm chip AI mà không làm quá tải lưới điện dân dụng. Ngoài ra thì tại vùng North East (Blyth), các trung tâm dữ liệu dùng nguồn điện đến từ các trạm tiếp bờ của điện gió ngoài khơi lớn nhất thế giới ở Biển Bắc (North Sea) và mua cả năng lượng qua cáp ngầm kết nối thủy điện từ Na Uy. Tại Scotland, họ tận dụng nguồn năng lượng tái tạo thặng dư (gió và thủy điện) vốn thường bị nghẽn, không thể truyền tải về miền Nam. Các báo Anh gần đây hay đăng các câu chuyện thú vị như nhà nông nào đó ở vùng quê bán trang trại, lò sản xuất bánh mì, trạm xay bột cho công ty Ai để xây data centre. Theo một điều tra của nhà báo Henry Mawhood cho trang báo nghề cá ở Anh thì thực ra câu chuyện không đơn giản như vậy nhưng đúng là các vùng ven biển phía Tây đảo Anh, từ Weston-Super-Mare tới Cumbria (England), rồi miền Nam xứ Wales và duyên hải Đông Bắc Scotland, người ta đang có kế hoạch xây hai thứ: các nhà máy điện nguyên tử mini, các trạm nhận điện qua cáp ngầm từ Bắc Âu (Na Uy) và các trạm đón tuyến cáp truyền dữ liệu xuyên Đại Tây Dương, nối Anh với Hoa Kỳ. Vì thế, đúng là có những nơi nhà nông được mời chào bán lại các miếng đất, nhà xưởng, ít nhất với diện tích 1-2 trăm mét vuông, để chứa data centre. Trong tháng 6 năm nay, có câu chuyện mang tính biểu tượng ở Anh. Thủ tướng Kier Starmer đã thăm một nhà máy xà phòng cũ có 130 năm tuổi ở Warrington, hạt Cheshire, để dự lễ khai trương dự án trung tâm dữ  liệu. Tức là họ biến một điểm công nghiệp rất là cũ thành trung tâm dữ liệu, dùng nguồn điện, nước có sẵn.  RFI: Theo anh, công suất cho điện dùng vào trí tuệ nhân tạo ở Anh có đủ không? Nguyễn Giang : Theo các báo chuyên ngành đánh giá thì điện ở Anh, gồm cả điện nguyên tử, hiện tại là đủ cho lộ trình giai đoạn 1 nhờ chiến lược phân bổ vùng. Ví dụ, riêng trung tâm dữ liệu AI tại Blyth đang tăng tốc để đạt công suất 1,1 GW (Gigawatt) trong vòng 6 năm tới, biến nó thành một trong những cụm dữ liệu lớn nhất châu Âu. Bằng cách đặt data centre tại nơi "nguồn phát" dư thừa, Anh giải quyết được bài toán tổn thất truyền tải và giá điện cao. RFI: Cho tới nay, việc sử dụng AI trong y tế, tài chính và giáo dục tại Anh ra sao? Nguyễn Giang : Theo chỉ số tâm lý AI (EY AI Sentiment Index) tính đến giữa năm 2026, bức tranh ứng dụng của Anh như sau: Trong Dịch vụ Sức khỏe Quốc gia (NHS- tức Y tế công) thì kế hoạch 10 năm của Anh đã đưa AI từ giai đoạn thí điểm sang tích dợp hệ thống toàn diện. AI hiện là "trợ lý số" bắt buộc ở nhiều khâu: các công cụ "Ambient Scribing" (AI ghi âm cuộc thoại bác sĩ - bệnh nhân tự động chuyển thành hồ sơ bệnh án) phổ cập mạnh mẽ; ứng dụng NHS App tích hợp AI thành cổng sàng lọc bệnh tự động. Đặc biệt, Bộ Y tế Anh vừa tung ra mô hình "MHRA AI Airlock / Sandbox" (tháng 6/2026) để thử nghiệm AI trong việc dự đoán tác dụng phụ của thuốc, giúp NHS giảm bớt gánh nặng chi phí 2 tỷ bảng/năm do phản ứng ngược của thuốc gây ra. Mạnh và sâu hơn là ứng dụng trong tài chính dùng công nghệ số (fintech). Trên thực tế thì tỷ lệ ứng dụng AI ở Anh trong ngành này đã đạt 75%. Các ngân hàng và công ty tài chính Anh đang dùng AI sâu trong phát hiện gian lận (anti-frauds), trong giao dịch tự động và tuân thủ pháp lý (compliance). Vào tháng 1/2026, Cơ quan Quản lý Tài chính (FCA) đã mở cuộc điều tra Mills Review để đánh giá toàn diện tác động dài hạn của AI đối với dịch vụ tài chính tiêu dùng, đồng thời tích hợp sâu công cụ Agentic AI (AI tự chủ) vào hệ thống vận hành. Trong giáo dục đại học, Anh đang chuyển mạnh từ các ngành xã hội sang công nghệ. Hiện Bộ Giáo dục đã chuẩn hóa hơn 400 chương trình thạc sĩ chuyên sâu về AI và 28 trung tâm đào tạo tiến sĩ (CDT). Các trường đại học lớn như Edinburgh (với Bayes Centre), Cambridge, Oxford hoạt động như các lõi R&D chuyển giao công nghệ trực tiếp cho doanh nghiệp trong các AI Growth Zones. RFI:  So với Liên Âu thì Anh Quốc đi trước hay sau về công nghệ AI trong ứng dụng vào kinh tế và các ngành nghề? Nguyễn Giang : Có thể nói về mặt thương mại, hạ tầng và đầu tư thì Anh đi trước. Anh hiện đứng đầu châu Âu và thứ 4 thế giới về năng lực nghiên cứu cũng như thu hút vốn đầu tư mạo hiểm cho AI (riêng năm 2024 đạt gần 3 tỷ bảng). Do lợi thế về nguồn dữ liệu tập trung của NHS và thị trường tài chính London, các tập đoàn Mỹ (Google, Microsoft, OpenAI) chọn Anh làm bãi đáp hạ tầng lớn hơn so với Liên Âu Ưu thế của Anh là có tốc độ tích hợp AI vào dịch vụ công như trong y tế công (NHS) đồng bộ hơn nhờ cơ chế quản lý tập trung, trong khi EU bị phân mảnh theo từng quốc gia thành viên. Nhưng so sánh Anh và Pháp thì bức tranh lại hơi khác RFI:  Anh và Pháp được cho là hai quốc gia châu Âu hành đầu, cạnh tranh với Hoa Kỳ, Trung Quốc về AI nhưng cũng cạnh tranh với nhau? Nguyễn Giang : Các thông tin do hai chính phủ Anh và Pháp công bố dần dần cho thấy sự khác biệt, ưu điểm và nhược điểm của mỗi bên trong chiến lược phát triển AI. Tôi xin điểm ra một số nhỏ: Anh đã triển khai các trung tâm dữ liệu nhanh hơn Pháp. Vì ở Pháp, dù Hội nghị thượng đỉnh Choose France cam kết cắt giảm thủ tục hành chính của Pháp, nhưng Pháp cũng bị ràng buộc bởi các quy định quản lý đất đai và bảo vệ môi trường chặt chẽ của Liên Hiệp Châu Âu nên thủ tục làm tốn thời gian hơn trong việc giải phóng mặt bằng quy mô lớn. Pháp muốn đi nhanh nhưng vẫn phải tuân thủ luật Liên Âu (EU AI Act), còn Anh thì có môi trường pháp lý thoáng hơn, gần với Hoa Kỳ hơn, và thái độ ‘pro-innovation' có vẻ đang tốt hơn Pháp. Trong việc xây dựng hệ sinh thái tài chính và thương mại kỹ thuật số thì Anh có sẵn Luân Đôn là trung tâm Fintech số 1 châu Âu, kết nối truyền thống mạnh mẽ trong thế giới nói tiếng Anh với New York, với Singapore, Hồng Kông nên giúp các AI Growth Zone dễ dàng kết nối trực tiếp giải pháp AI vào thị trường tài chính toàn cầu. Thêm vào đó, việc sở hữu Dữ liệu tập trung của Y tế công NHS là lợi thế độc quyền mà Pháp không có. Anh dễ dàng thu hút các tập đoàn y sinh AI lớn đến thiết lập trung tâm tính toán, vì họ có thể tiếp cận kho dữ liệu y tế khổng lồ hàng đầu thế giới thông qua các cơ chế an toàn số (như MHRA AI Airlock). Thế nhưng, về quy mô vốn đầu tư hạ tầng khổng lồ bằng tiền nước ngoài (FDI Magnitude) thì Pháp đang hơn Anh. Ví dụ, Hội nghị Choose France, tập đoàn SoftBank đã cam kết chi tới 75 tỷ euro (trong đó 45 tỷ euro giải ngân trước 2031) để xây dựng cụm trung tâm dữ liệu AI khổng lồ công suất 5 GW tại Dunkerque. Bên cạnh đó là 10 tỷ euro từ Brookfield và 7,5 tỷ euro từ quỹ MGX (UAE). Hiện chưa rõ cuộc chạy đua đường dài về AI (AI race) giữa Anh và Pháp ra sao, nhưng cả hai nước đều đang đổ tiền vào. Tổng thống Emmanuel Macron công bố trong tháng 6/2026 khoản đầu tư 1,55 tỷ euro tiền công vào công nghệ quantum và bán dẫn (semiconductors). Cùng lúc, chính phủ Anh cũng trực tiếp chi ngân sách tài trợ ban đầu hơn 2,5 tỷ bảng để kích hoạt hệ thống điện toán quốc gia kết nối AI. RFI: Nếu làm tốt, các kế hoạch này có giúp kinh tế Anh tăng trưởng giai đoạn 2027-2030 không? Nguyễn Giang : Anh Quốc đang hy vọng kế hoạch AI Growth Zones và chuyển đổi số này được thực thi trơn tru, Nhờ đó mà tác động lên giai đoạn 2027-2030 sẽ có thể phát huy tác dụng qua ba kênh: Một là người ta hy vọng có dòng vốn dịch chuyển mạnh từ Mỹ sang Anh, không chỉ với con số 100 tỷ bảng đầu tư hạ tầng cam kết đến năm 2030 và còn có các cam kết mới. Các đầu tư này sẽ trực tiếp đóng góp vào GDP thông qua xây dựng và mua sắm thiết bị công nghệ cao ở Anh. Hai là AI sẽ làm tăng hiệu suất của y tế và tài chính, dịch vụ công. Lấy ví dụ ứng dụng AI giúp rút ngắn thời gian chẩn đoán của bác sĩ, cắt ngắn thời gian chờ được khám bệnh, và gián tiếp giải phóng hàng tỷ bảng Anh áp lực ngân sách (thời gian, giờ công) cho phép tái đầu tư tiền vào các khu vực kinh tế tạo ra thặng dư cao hơn. Và thứ ba là tác động lan tỏa (Spillover effects). Đây là điều cần chờ xem. Thế nhưng theo các mô hình dự báo, khi các AI Growth Zones đi vào hoạt động ổn định từ năm 2027, các ngành kế toán, tài chính, năng lực tính toán trong sản xuất v.v. sẽ nhờ giải pháp AI mà giảm được chi phí. Qua đó, giá trị chung của toàn chuỗi cung ứng ở Anh sẽ tăng lên, cùng sức cạnh tranh của hàng hóa Anh. Chúng ta sẽ không thấy ngay lợi ích này, nhưng đây là quá trình chuyển đổi, có người nói là cuộc cách mạng cơ sở hạ tầng lớn nhất từ thế kỷ 16 nên cần phải có  thời gian để “hưởng lợi”, nhìn từ góc độ của Anh Quốc.

Gerard and Laurent first welcomed David Scaysbrook to the podcast in Episode 66, back in January 2022, for a conversation about the future of 24/7 power. Four years later, it felt like the right moment to reconnect and take stock of how profoundly the market has evolved.  Since then, Quinbrook Infrastructure Partners has continued to establish itself as one of the leading specialist investors in the energy transition, orchestrating and deploying billions of dollars of capital through project finance structures and platform companies.   As of today, the firm has participated in more than $27 billion of transactions, developed or acquired over 240 projects, and built a portfolio exceeding 40 GW across the United States, the United Kingdom, and Australia.  Our discussion traces Quinbrook's own transformation alongside that of the broader energy landscape. We revisit the firm's strategic exit from wind generation, marked by the sale of its Scout platform to Brookfield in 2023 for more than $1 billion, and explore how its focus has shifted toward utility-scale solar and long-duration energy storage across the United States and Australia.  More fundamentally, David explains how Quinbrook has moved beyond the era of single-technology investment funds. Instead of financing isolated generation assets, the firm now builds integrated, multi-technology platforms designed to solve specific customer problems. The objective is no longer simply to inject generic electrons into the grid, but to work backwards from the needs of large electricity consumers—particularly hyperscale datacenter operators—and develop bespoke energy solutions around them.  This philosophy is illustrated by Rowan, Quinbrook's datacenter development platform, which attracted a $1 billion co-investment from Blackstone. As hyperscalers race to deploy new computing capacity, speed has become the defining constraint. Waiting for the grid is no longer an option, making "bring your own power" an increasingly compelling proposition.  The conversation also explores how advances in software and long-duration energy storage are improving behind-the-meter performance, allowing energy infrastructure to become more resilient, flexible, and economically attractive.  Ultimately, David argues that we are witnessing a profound shift in thinking. In a world increasingly captivated by virtual technologies and digital intelligence, the greatest opportunities may lie in investing in the physical infrastructure that makes them all possible.“Let's get Physical”

A wide-ranging episode covering surveillance, digital control, Canada's political landscape, MAID, and geopolitical corruption. The conversation moves from China-made EVs in Canada to EU in-car monitoring laws, Flock cameras, AI surveillance, and the growing normalization of state oversight. Highlights A title mix-up turns into the opening banter and sets the tone. World Cup conspiracy talk and the strange way narratives spread. Chinese EVs arriving in Canada at luxury-car prices. The EU's new in-car driver-monitoring cameras. Flock cameras and the expansion of vehicle surveillance. AI-powered municipal enforcement and trash-truck camera programs. A digital bill of rights and the fight over AI-era civil liberties. Canada's Ukraine spending, Brookfield condo controversy, and political accountability. MAID, organ donation, and concerns about public messaging. A viral AI music video tied to JFK, free energy, and symbolism. Charity fraud, garbage dumping on Crown Land, and disturbing park behavior. Key Themes Surveillance creep Technocracy and digital control Government overreach Media distrust Canadian politics and corruption Civil liberties in the AI era Closing Thought This episode argues that the technology itself is only part of the problem; the deeper issue is how governments use it, normalize it, and expand it over time.   To gain access to the second half of show and our Plus feed for audio and podcast please clink the link http://www.grimericaoutlawed.ca/support.

How do principals serve in Northern Illinois? Kevin Becker (Principal of Immanuel Lutheran School in East Dundee, Illinois) and Kate Thoelke (Principal of St. Paul's Lutheran School in Brookfield, Illinois) join Andy and Sarah to talk about their paths to becoming church workers, some of the key figures who encouraged their formation, the schools each of them serve in today and their paths to their current vocations, why it's important to each of them to invest in Lutheran education, and how Lutheran teachers and principals can cultivate a culture of church work formation and recruitment in our Lutheran schools. Christ's church will continue until He returns, and that church will continue to need church workers. Set Apart to Serve (SAS) is an initiative of the LCMS to recruit church workers. Together, we pray for workers for the Kingdom of God and encourage children to consider church work vocations. Here are three easy ways you can participate in SAS: 1. Pray with your children for God to provide church workers. 2. Talk to your children about becoming church workers. 3. Thank God for the people who work in your congregation.

In today's Rant, Stephen LeDrew takes aim at the federal government's Vancouver condo bailout and asks the question many Canadians are already thinking: does this pass the smell test?The deal involves billions in taxpayer money, politically connected rich developers, pricey fundraisers, Housing Minister Gregor Robertson, Prime Minister Mark Carney, and questions about Brookfield's connections to Vancouver real estate. LeDrew argues that if there are innocent explanations, Canadians deserve to know them, and not accept flimsy denials.If the government has nothing to hide, why did it use its majority to shut down investigations in committee hearings? Why not call witnesses, release the details, and let taxpayers see exactly how this deal came together?This rant is about political accountability, taxpayer money, and why Canadians deserve answers when billions of public dollars are given to rich private developers.Topics covered:The Vancouver condo bailoutGregor Robertson and developer connectionsPolitical fundraisers and conflicts of interestMark Carney, Brookfield, and real estate questionsBillions in taxpayer money for private developersWhy Conservatives want committee hearingsLiberal shutdown of committee investigationTransparency, corruption, and accountability Hosted on Acast.

Lowell Baron and Brandon Sedloff trace the evolution of Brookfield's real estate business from a small balance sheet investor into a global platform managing roughly $300 billion in assets. Baron shares how he joined what was then called Brascan in 2005 with fewer than twenty people on the real estate team, initially working on a modest credit fund while the firm owned just a stake in an office company. He explains how the decision to avoid overheated deals in 2006 and 2007 positioned Brookfield to capitalize on opportunities after the global financial crisis, eventually launching the consortium model in 2009 that became the foundation for committed funds starting in 2012. They discuss: - Why Brookfield built operating platforms with 30,000 employees instead of relying on third-party operators - How the firm expanded methodically across property types and geographies, including a ten-year process to enter India - The bifurcation in office markets and why Class A space in major cities now faces supply constraints - How diversifying across housing sub-sectors from student housing to senior living reduces risk while improving returns - The role of AI in creating operational efficiencies and unlocking predictive insights from Brookfield's proprietary data This episode on The Distribution offers insight into how scale, operational depth, and patient capital can coexist in a single platform when grown deliberately over decades.

Die Frage kommt immer mal wieder: "Was wäre, wenn du deine Aktienanlage auf nur zwei Aktien beschränken müsstest? Welche Unternehmen würdest du dann kaufen?". Im Kern ist das nichts anderes als die Frage nach meinen absoluten Lieblingsaktien. Vorweg aber ein wichtiger Hinweis: Ich empfehle niemandem, der in Einzelaktien investiert, sein Portfolio tatsächlich auf nur zwei Werte zu beschränken. Diese Fragestellung dient vielmehr als Gedankenexperiment, um den Fokus auf Unternehmen zu lenken, von denen ich langfristig besonders überzeugt bin. Genau darum soll es heute gehen: Welche zwei Aktien würde ich auswählen, wenn ich mich auf nur zwei Positionen festlegen müsste? Für diejenigen von euch, die schon länger dabei sind, ist das gleichzeitig ein Update und enthält zudem einen zusätzlichen Tipp.

Bathsheba Ruggles Spooner's life had all the makings of a tragedy long before there was blood in the snow. Born into privilege as the favored daughter of Loyalist Brigadier General Timothy Ruggles, Bathsheba married wealthy farmer Joshua Spooner and settled in Brookfield, Massachusetts. Behind the facade of status and respectability was a deeply unhappy, allegedly abusive marriage—and a woman who would come to say she felt “an utter aversion” toward her husband. In March 1777, a teenage Continental soldier named Ezra Ross fell ill near the Spooner home. Bathsheba took him in, nursed him back to health, and began an affair that led to pregnancy in the middle of a war where divorce was nearly impossible and public flogging was the penalty for adultery. When two British deserters, William Brooks and James Buchanan, appeared at her door seeking shelter, Bathsheba saw her chance. Within weeks, a murder plot was in motion. On the night of March 1, 1778, Joshua Spooner was ambushed near his own well, beaten to death, and dumped into the water. The conspirators burned his clothing, split his valuables, and tried to pass off his disappearance as an accident. They underestimated their neighbors, the blood in the snow, and a community already suspicious of the Loyalist general's daughter. This episode follows the case from plot to gallows: Bathsheba's upbringing in an influential Loyalist family and her isolation in Patriot‑dominated Massachusetts The breakdown of her marriage to Joshua and the arrival of young Ezra Ross How the affair, pregnancy, and a failed poisoning attempt escalated into a murder‑for‑hire scheme The roles of British deserters Brooks and Buchanan, hiding in the Spooner barn The night of the murder, the disposal of Joshua's body in the well, and the quick unraveling of the cover story The investigation, confessions, and the lightning‑fast trial before Chief Justice William Cushing Defense arguments about Bathsheba's mental state and the political climate surrounding the daughter of a notorious Loyalist Bathsheba's claim that she was pregnant, the examination by midwives and matrons, and the authorities' decision to proceed with execution anyway The July 2, 1778 public hanging of Bathsheba, Ross, Brooks, and Buchanan—and the grim autopsy that confirmed she was five months pregnant We also dig into the bigger questions: Was Bathsheba a cold‑blooded killer, a desperate woman with limited options, or someone whose mental state and politics made her an easy target for a new nation eager to prove its resolve? How did Revolutionary‑era law treat pregnant women, and what does this case reveal about gender, power, and justice in early America? This is a narrative‑driven, heavily sourced deep dive into one of the most extraordinary crimes of the 18th century—blending courtroom drama, wartime politics, and true crime analysis to tell the full story of Bathsheba Spooner and the murder of Joshua Spooner.

Brandon Sedloff and Aaron Gershenberg sit down in California's wine country to explore three decades of venture capital evolution. Aaron, CEO and managing partner at Pinegrove Venture Partners, shares his unconventional path from economic development work and real estate consulting to building SVB Capital into a $10 billion platform, then relaunching after the bank's collapse as Pinegrove, backed by Sequoia Heritage and Brookfield. They discuss: - How Aaron used Monte Carlo analysis to project fund performance and justify additional capital during the dot-com crash - Why he structured distribution-only fee models for anchor LPs instead of traditional management fees and carry - The mechanics of becoming a FOIA blocker to attract pension fund capital - How Pinegrove positions across seed, Series A, Series B, credit, and secondaries to capture alpha at different stages - Why the 2024–2026 vintage may deliver the fastest value creation Aaron has seen in his career This episode offers a roadmap for institutional investors navigating venture exposure, LP sentiment shifts, and the structural innovations that have reshaped fund economics over the past 25 years.

Alberta keeps being told to wait, be patient, and trust Ottawa.But how many times does this province have to watch the same game play out before people finally wake up?In this episode, I break down why Alberta needs to stop pretending Ottawa is going to fix this country, why Canada is heading in the wrong direction, and why people are asking serious questions about political power, corporate influence, Brookfield, Mark Carney, and who really benefits while Alberta keeps getting treated like the ATM of Confederation.This isn't about being negative for the sake of it.This is about Alberta's future.Our jobs.Our resources.Our kids.Our economy.And whether this province is going to keep waiting for permission from people who clearly do not respect us.If you believe Alberta needs to stand up, this episode is for you.Support independent voices:BertaProudDad.com

Welcome back to the Alt Goes Mainstream podcast.We were live from AGM's RIA Field Trip at Brookfield's New York office at Brookfield Place with Oaktree Managing Director and Co-Portfolio Manager Danielle Poli to unpack why private credit is at a crossroads and why dispersion is growing. Danielle has a unique perch to form a developed view on the current state of private credit. She sits at the intersection of public and private credit, providing her with perspectives on where opportunities and risks lie across the liquidity spectrum. Danielle is a founding member of Oaktree's Global Credit strategy and its Investment Committee, which was established in 2017. She's been an important contributor to its growth into a scaled multi-asset credit platform. She previously led Oaktree's product specialist group, which she helped build into a global team supporting credit, private equity, and real estate. She joined Oaktree in 201 and has nearly two decades of experience in private markets. She has been named to Barron's list of the 100 Most Influential Women in U.S. Finance. Danielle and I had a fascinating conversation about the current state of private credit, where cracks might be emerging and where to find pockets of opportunity amid the dislocations. We covered:Why is boring beautiful in private credit?Where are we in the credit cycle?Why it's important to have a contrarian mindset.Where, why, and how dispersion is rising in credit.How to underwrite software investments post-AI. Why asset-backed finance can be a diversifier.Why now could be the time to prepare for opportunistic and rescue lending opportunities, as maturities are fast approaching.How to balance public and private credit investing. Thanks, Danielle, for sharing your wisdom, expertise, and passion about private credit. Show Notes00:00 Live Podcast Intro00:06 Meet Danielle Poli00:17 Contrarian Mindset 00:34 Our Sponsor, Ultimus Fund Solutions01:32 Where Private Credit Stands Today02:22 Bifurcation and ABF Rise02:59 Liquid vs Private Convergence03:36 Danielle's Career Background04:13 Why Liquidity Matters04:39 Dislocation Advantages05:10 Risk Return Tradeoffs05:18 Liquidity Premium Compression05:41 Covenants and Complexity06:01 Not All Private Credit is Equal06:34 Corporate vs Asset-Backed07:05 Why ABF Diversifies07:30 How Allocators Fund ABF07:49 Credit Taking Share from Equities08:49 Tough Direct Lending Vintages09:22 Rates Shock and Leverage09:43 AI Disrupts Software Credit10:41 Oaktree Software Underweight12:01 Underwriting Software Post AI12:57 Inside the Investment Committee13:57 Selling Rallies and Positioning31:30 Closing ThoughtsA Word from Our Sponsor, UltimusThis episode of Alt Goes Mainstream is brought to you by Ultimus, the full-service fund administrator and transfer agent powering asset managers in private and public markets.

George is feeling optimistic, and there's good news at last at Brookfield.

Philippa, Katie and Quentin are back for the week in Ambridge — Sunday 14th to Tuesday 16th June — and it has been a dramatic one.A savage dog attack on Brookfield's sheep leaves 15 dead and more injured, David losing it at Brian over warning signs, and the friendship between the two men looking badly damaged. Meanwhile Adam manipulates George into revealing more about the night of the accident — but what is he planning to do with that information? Could he push George into going to the police himself? And would Brian go further than anyone expects to protect Ruairi?Also this week: Kate has a stunning week — handling Brian, supporting Kirsty and knocking heads together with real Jenny-esque authority. Brian gets a double ouch from both Oliver and David. George and Amber get the Grundy baby cart out. Ian double-books the quiz. And all three hosts independently land on the same Star of the Week, which has never happened before.Plus Star of the Week, Twit of the Week, predictions — and Quentin has a foreboding feeling about Jim Lloyd.Topics covered: Dog attack | Brookfield sheep | Brian Aldridge | Adam Macy | George Grundy | Kate Aldridge | Kirsty Miller | Ian Thornton | Jim Lloyd | Amber | Home Farm | The Archers June 2025ou can BUY US A COFFEE here: buymeacoffee.com/allaboutthearchersYou can buy our MERCH here: https://www.redbubble.com/people/aboutthearchers/shopDo join our FACEBOOK Group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/1127587031446013/ Hosted on Acast.

After conducting pregnancy tests on the Brookfield cows Alistair chats to David about the poisonous atmosphere at Home Farm, wondering if David might be able to soften Brian's hardline stance. When David mentions trade stand bookings for the Borchester Show are right down Alistair says a client complained about the payment system on the showground last year. David says he'll investigate, before Alistair chases up numbers for the minibus trip to the Women's T20 World Cup on Friday. Amber's pleased by the uptick in social media engagement for the Borchester Show since she took over strategy from George. The money they earn will help cover the cost of all the baby gear they need. David calls, asking Amber to use her contacts at Farm Supplies to find out why trade stand bookings are down, and to target local businesses with positive messaging. Later, Amber and George are able to confirm the slow wi-fi led to payment difficulties last year, putting businesses off booking again. David vows to try and fix it. Stella enthuses about wedding preparations to distracted Pip, who's waiting for the call from a genetic counsellor. After several false alarms Pip finally speaks to the counsellor, then later tells Stella about the issues they covered, including potential risks to having children in future. Stella suggests focusing on the next step and Pip says she's agreed to take the private BRCA gene variant test. It's hard, but once Pip's done the test, they'll know for sure without having to wait for Ruth's NHS referral, which she hasn't even asked for yet.

A regular nineteen-year-old with no criminal record stabbed his landlord to death with a pocketknife, then later claimed the demon he'd taunted into possessing him — instead of his fiancée's eleven-year-old brother — had crawled out of a well and into his body to commit the murder.EPISODE BLOG PAGE (includes sources and full transcript): https://weirddarkness.com/arnejohnsonREAD or DOWNLOAD the full transcript of this episode:https://weirddarkness.tiny.us/2p8n97s9FEATURED STORIES IN THIS EPISODE: The third Conjuring film is based on the true story of Arne Cheyenne Johnson who claimed he committed murder because a demon made him do it. But how much truth is there to that story? (The Devil Made Him Do It) *** A tribe living in the Amazon Jungle tells about a strange encounter they had with an extraterrestrial and a strange beam of light. (That Time An Alien Visited the Kayapo People) *** An elderly man decides he needs to hire someone to help him care for his property… but who he chose would bring only death and a mystery that still goes unsolved. (The Wonnangatta Station Murders) *** Lizard people. Reptilians. It's one of the strangest and most controversial conspiracy theories in existence – and we'll look at some of the history behind the idea, as well as what science says about the possibility of it being a reality. (The Myths and Modern Science of Reptilians) *** A nun who wasn't very good at being a nun ended up being a nun without a head. (The Headless Nun of Watton Priory) *** We've all been asked the question, “How do you want to die when it comes your time?” Aside from the boring but realistic answer of “quietly in my sleep” some would prefer to go out in a blaze of glory, doing something heroic to save a person or persons from imminent doom. But of course that does not happen for most of us. In fact, there are probably more people going out in a blaze of stupidity! (Dumbest Deaths) *** In 1995 Mike Marcum got it in his head to build a time machine. Did he succeed? We may never know – because he disappeared without a trace.

Copyright ©2026, Weird Darkness.Originally aired: November 17, 2021Weird Darkness host Darren Marlar leads listeners through seven dark tales spanning a courtroom plea of demonic possession, an unsolved double murder on a remote Australian cattle station, an Amazon tribe's memory of a sky visitor, the serpent-race conspiracy of reptilians, a centuries-old English haunting, history's most absurd deaths, and a Missouri man who vanished after trying to build a time machine.It opens with the 1981 killing of forty-year-old landlord Alan Bono in Brookfield, Connecticut, the first murder in the town's 193-year history, committed by his nineteen-year-old tenant Arne Cheyenne Johnson with a five-inch pocket knife. Johnson's attorney Martin Minnella attempted a plea of not guilty by reason of demonic possession, tracing the violence to months of torment suffered by eleven-year-old David Glatzel, the brother of Johnson's fiancée Debbie, who described a tormentor with black eyes, animal features, and hooves. Paranormal investigators Ed and Lorraine Warren declared it a genuine possession and claimed David levitated and stopped breathing across three exorcisms overseen by priests, while psychiatrists countered that the boy had a learning disability. Judge Robert Callahan rejected the supernatural defense as unprovable, Johnson was convicted of first-degree manslaughter on November 24, 1981, and the case later inspired the film The Conjuring: The Devil Made Me Do It.From there the episode travels to the remote Wonnangatta Station in Australia's Victorian Alps, where caretaker James Barclay hired English handyman John Bamford in 1917, a man rumored to have killed his own wife. After the two rode to Talbotville to vote on the Reinforcement Referendum in December 1917, mailman Harry Smith found the homestead empty but for the words "Home Tonight" chalked on the kitchen door, and weeks later he and Jack Jebb uncovered Barclay's decomposed body in a shallow creekside grave, dead from a shotgun blast to the back. The following November, Bamford's body surfaced in a log pile on the Howitt Plains with a bullet in the head, leaving investigators with a recently fired shotgun, traces of strychnine in the kitchen pepper, and no answer as to who killed the second man.Next comes the legend of the Kayapo people of the Brazilian Amazon, who tell of a sky visitor named Bep Kororoti who descended from the mountains of Pukato-Ti amid thunder, wielding a weapon that reduced trees and stones to dust and a beam of light that paralyzed anyone who fled his lessons. The being neither ate nor drank, taught the villagers practical skills, and eventually ascended back into the sky, and the account drew international attention when young Kayapo men touring Rio de Janeiro reportedly pointed at an Apollo 11 astronaut display and shouted that he had returned. Erich von Däniken cited photographs of Kayapo men in straw ritual costumes resembling spacesuits, taken by Joao Americo Peret in 1952, nearly a decade before Yuri Gagarin's 1961 spaceflight, as supposed support for the ancient astronaut theory.The discussion then turns to reptilians, tracing serpent-race myths found across Sumeria, Babylonia, India, China, and Mesoamerica, alongside the modern claims of David Icke that some humans are disguised lizard people. Set against the folklore, researcher Bjarke Jensen of Aarhus University lays out the actual biology: the human reptilian brain that governs heart rate and breathing, eyes structured much like a reptile's, and conductive heart tissue whose molecular building blocks Jensen's team located hidden in the spongy hearts of lizards, frogs, and zebrafish.The episode then visits Watton Priory in East Riding of Yorkshire, a Gilbertine community where, according to the twelfth-century account of Saint Aelred of Rievaulx, an orphaned girl named Elfleda fell in love with a young lay brother, was beaten and chained in a dungeon by the nuns, and was forced to watch as the man was mutilated. A second tragedy fastened itself to the same site after the 1644 Battle of Marston Moor, when Parliamentarian soldiers beheaded the Catholic Lady of Watton and killed her child, and over the centuries the two women blurred into a single spectral figure remembered as the Headless Nun, said to stand at the foot of the bed in blood-stained garments before vanishing.From there the show catalogs history's most absurd deaths, beginning with English Channel swimmer Matthew Webb, who drowned in the Niagara rapids in 1883, and the Spartan general Pausanias, sealed inside a temple of Athena and starved until he died moments after his release. The roll continues with Draco of Athens, smothered around 600 BC beneath cloaks and hats thrown in tribute; Sir Arthur Aston, beaten to death with his own wooden leg; the philosopher Heraclitus, who buried himself in cow dung hoping to cure his dropsy; lawyer Clement Vallandigham, who fatally shot himself in 1871 while demonstrating how a victim might have shot himself by accident; the Viking Sigurd the Mighty, killed by an infection from the sev

This week on the Accunet Mortgage and Realty Show, Brian and David Wickert break down a surprisingly strong May jobs report—roughly double the expected new jobs—and why good news for the economy spooked both the bond and stock markets. With the Fed funds futures markets now pricing in real odds of a rate increase by year-end, the guys put today's mortgage rates in perspective: a 30-year fixed around 6.49% feels worse only because of the “recency effect.” Dial back a few years to when rates were 7.99% and today looks pretty good.Then it's story time from the front lines of southeastern Wisconsin's still-hot housing market. Brian shares a tale of a one-bath, one-car Brookfield home that drew 30 showings but zero opening offers—and what happened next. They dig into the rise of waived home inspections (one big brokerage reports 56% of accepted offers skip them), why sellers might actually want buyers to inspect, and some example CYA addendums protecting agents.Plus: a real client wins with an escalator clause and an appraisal waiver—and the reading-comprehension showdown over netting out buyer-agent commissions. The recurring lesson? Know how to read.

Pastor Ken Keltner is Senior pastor of Brookside Baptist Church, Brookfield, WI. He's the speaker on The Word for Life radio broadcast which airs on WVCY. In James 1:2-3 it says, "My brethren, count it all joy when ye fall into divers temptations; Knowing this, that the trying of your faith worketh patience." The word "temptations" in this context is referring to testing or trials. It's a word we really don't like to hear. This passage indicates that the trying of our faith builds patience or endurance in us. Many times we read this quickly and we may talk about its meaning in application to others, but what about when the trials and tests hit you? What is your response when these trials all of a sudden seem to come from nowhere? You wonder, why is this happening to me? What have I done wrong? Do we really count it all joy when we go through such times? How do we respond? It's often said such trials can turn us bitter or better. So listen to this Crosstalk and find out how Pastor Keltner responded as he walks listeners through what occurred during events leading up to and beyond March 16, 2026. That's the day that Pastor Ken's wife Kathy went home to be with the Lord after battling Glioblastoma, an aggressive type of brain cancer. They were married over 42 years and amidst the extreme heartache, the Lord has shown himself faithful and is very much at work.
